> This email (unofficial) has the title "How to Be Antiracist." The only thing McWhorter did was to reorder the bullets, putting some next to each other.

> None of those are made up.

By definition they are made up. The question is by whom. I cannot find these tenets by googling them. The first link to "third wave antiracist tenets" is this very article. The fact that someone sent you an email is pretty irrelevant, and frankly dubious. I'm open to being proven wrong, but if these aren't published by a noteworthy source, they're utterly irrelevant. I don't like Kendi. I think his work is opportunistic and stuck in semantics. But I don't think he's going to write dumb shit like what the author anchors everyone on baselessly. And even if he did, I feel confident that 99% of americans would say they're not accurate portrayals of their views.

edit: on a reread, it sounds like you're saying there's just a separate email with different content. Just because this author uses the words "antiracist" doesn't mean his portrayal of another person's portrayal of the word are the same, or that either are salient.

> The very next sentences after your quote discusses the book. The next paragraph also says this:

The quote you provided contains literally nothing from the book, just him doubling down that he doesn't like it.
What if they did think about it and decided they still wanted to stick with their preferred name?

It's like with trademarks: you can have more than one thing with the same name and not have a problem. If it was another build tool that helped you deal with your git repos that would be a real issue, but it's not... it's aimed at a totally different audience for a totally different reason.

This town is absolutely big enough for the both of them.

Or do you think other people have problems because when they search for, say, Kafka, or Jekyll, they keep finding references to literature instead of the tech they're using?
First of all, the judgement was because the guy never showed up for court. He might have won if he did.

More importantly, he called it a scam, and it isn't clear that that is a lie. He alleges that he paid for work, but they just rephrased the documents he gave them. Why wouldn't that be a scam?
Naturally, there's an xkcd about exactly that: https://xkcd.com/865/
This feature could make a lot of code that people write quite often a fair amount simpler, though. I'm looking forward to this feature quite a bit.

I think it’s different because the MPs are specifically elected by the public to propose (or block) legislation, and the hierarchy of Parliament is in turn determined by the votes of same elected officials. The Queen isn’t elected. By the same argument you could say that it’s fine for me to have a veto over British legislation, and I assure you that it would not be.

As a former contributor/co-maintainer and currently AWS employee I'm curious about your plans about the open source project behind the website.

Do you have any plans to change the licensing and/or contribution model? Are OpenSource contributions as welcomed as before?
One of the favourite events we did was "two truths and a lie". Each person makes three statements about themselves (as personal or impersonal as they like) and others ask questions and then vote. We did a little leaderboard.
It was great fun and we got to know each other much better. I'll also never trust my colleagues to tell the truth ever again :-)
Another shameless plug :)

I recently left my job at Google to focus on building a trivia platform (https://www.trivvy.co/). We offer both async trivia leagues and live trivia games over Zoom with professional hosts. We're currently beta testing our live games (for free!), so if anyone wants to do a fun live event (anywhere from 60-90 minutes), shoot me an email (sam at trivvy dot co).

Also if you're interested in trying out a multi-week season with one game/week played whenever players are free, feel free to reach out as well :)

(n.b. I gave feedback on an early draft of this book.)

It's very thorough, written with care, and presented in a way that makes sense. Even as an intermediate Python programmer, I found use in this book.

> Who still writes backends from scratch nowadays (i.e. after ~2010)?

Didn't V8 just got a new custom backend like literally last week? And wasn't B3 a completely new backend? And what about Graal? That had much of its development and several of its backends after 2010. Not everyone is using LLVM like you think they are.

> Why would anyone waste time writing a compiler backend nowadays?

Because LLVM isn't great at everything! It's not designed for dynamic compilation, and while it can be used for that, you have to put a pretty powerful IR in front of it.
I'll have to try that when I get home. I seem to remember that being covered, but I may be thinking of Fedora.
it makes sense for a few scenarios, like a maintainer testing a new version via a private repository server before pushing this update to the public repository.

But not having a way to use a separate namespace for private packages that only looks at your internal feed is certainly a mistake. NPM at the very least least you easily map the `@MyCorp/` prefix or similar to a registry of your choice.
That quote is seriously overused, to the point where valid criticisms will be met with disapproval simply because the language falls under condition (1).
Webinar: How to Ship Software Quickly, Reliably, and Safely
In this webinar, we will show you how to ship software quickly, reliably, and safely. Whether you're an engineering leader or a member of an engineering team and your team is struggling to release regularly, join to understand the foundations for making regular releases a reality. If your team is already releasing software regularly, join us to learn new ideas on how to further improve workflows.

We’ll discuss factors that influence the frequency of releases, what enables more frequent releases, common deployment issues and how to address them, how system complexity impacts deployment ease, and much more.

Keep in mind that the U.S. Dollar will always trend lower. The government actively wants a weaker dollar (for international trade advantages) and they also want an inflated dollar because that's how the US finances it's debt.

Would it be a scam if you paid for work X, but were given work Y which should cost much less than work X and is useless to you?

If I paid a mechanic to put on new tires, but he just rotated my tires instead and said that he had fulfilled his side of the deal - is that not a scam?
Not really related, but Budgie Smuggler is the Australian common name for men's speedo like swimwear. The name is derived from the fact that the look of a man's privates while wearing the swim wear appears as if the man is hiding (smuggling) a small bird (a budgie) down his pants.

Hence, Budgie Smuggler.

Given how many manufacturers are using enormous, ungodly spreadsheets (that someone who's no longer at the company created back in 2002) to manage their manufacturing flow, many are pretty clearly "stuck" in old, rather shitty ways of doing things.

The History of Pizza
Overseas manufacturing is based on arbitrage of lack of caring about human rights and ecological regulation, and a lack of a proper carbon tax on the transport.

Tariffs are a universal evil of economics, but if on-the-ground economic policy won't account for human rights and long term ecological preservation and the survival of the species, then I'll take a crude equivalence and a boost to domestic manufacturing.

They just need to be instituted gradually.

But worry not libertarians of HackerNews, that'll NEVER happen. Missing quarterly stock price targets so your options cash will always take precedence over the survival of the species.
Facebook offered an API for sharing your data with a 3rd party vetted by Facebook.

Even if you don't buy that argument, at the very least the people who were FB friends of people who sent shared their lists with Kogan should still be able to sue FB, as they had absolutely no relation with Kogan or his app and still some of their data ended up sold.

It shouldn't do their threat modeling, but it is being widely promoted as "secure" (with little to no further restrictions) by and to people without detailed tech knowledge and is in an excellent position to inform their "threat modeling". As a principle, "People should know better" somewhat works for experts tools, tools for non-experts should where possible let users know what they are not aware of. (What exactly that means and where the limits are is, as said, a non-trivial question)
It's tempting to juxtapose two things like this and imply they're related, but it's more likely that this was a coincidence.

First line can be terrible, and I've had situations where I have tickets stuck in first line because someone in a timezone 12 hours different picked it up.

They then are resolved several times without an actual resolution. The last time it happened I only found out in the end it was fixed was because I managed to speak to a member of the technical team for a different reason and enquired.

It was the API Gateway dropping headers that contained underscores that happened for about 6 months last year if it impacted anyone else.

In relative terms though, they are far and away better than the alternatives. At least I can get to speak to people quite easily, and I was able to even speak to folks on the team working on API Gateway and they even got my ticket.
hhaha. stop.
The point is there is no such group actually.
That's long term though, short term (years) it can oscillate.
Yeah, when I first came across TS, I didn't see the point, mostly because I didn't see how powerful Typescript's type system is - it gets more amazing by the day, too.

The US government benefits from inflation for two main reasons:
1. It lowers their debt.
2. It collects more taxes from capital gains.
The average tax payer is burdened from inflation because their salaries do not keep up with inflation.
Stuff like this makes our online presence very creepy. More than I personally used to think anyway. Even on platforms where people usually think of their accounts as "throwaway" or "anonymous".

Take Reddit. Besides the well-known archive sites that keep removed/deleted content (removeddit, ceddit, etc), there is this cool service (pushshift) that offers all that and more. One interesting and relevant feature of this tool is the ability to look up all content by a specific author/username. You just put the name there, and lo and behold, everything this person ever posted is right there; even if it's deleted, or removed.

If you do a quick test using this tool, you'll soon see the amount of people who thought their deleted content couldn't be tied back to them, continuing to use their usernames like nothing happened. The deleted content can sometimes be incredibly sensitive information that the person posted by mistake (or when looking for advice, having a rant about something, etc). It sometimes includes very specific details that may uniquely identify a person. And most users aren't aware of any of this. And it's available even if you delete your account. Someone just has to know that you used this username once upon a time.

The tool eventually removed this option from the UI (but it's still available through their API). The thread where this removal was announced is interesting and reveals how useful this tool was to some users on Reddit for combating spam/harassment (or even to find their own content), but nevertheless this dark side of it is there. As you might expect, someone slapped a new UI on that very tool, and that feature is readily available today, few google searches away.

When I saw this tool, it really reminded me of that. It's incredible how our online activities became permanent, no matter how much we try to erase the parts we don't like (or don't want to be public).
TameAntelope - sorry I should've phrased it differently, not "lucky" but more skillful as you say.

Any dissident trusting this kind of deserves to be tortured to death.
This is basically what caused the spike we see in BTC price this week - Tesla purchased a lot of the stuff (somewhere around $1.5bn USD worth at their purchase time), and announced plans to start accepting it for their cars.
True, I made this comment with the long-term in mind.
These two don't exactly feel related. I think BTC shooting up has more to do with Elon's announcement and the US dollar being weak might have to do with the trade advantages that come from it.

edit: looks like a few other folks are also in the same camp of thought
Not who you asked, but I'm 31 right now. Started doing frontend at 17. When I turned 30 I made a conscious decision to not use any more free time to keep up with the ever evolving landscape.

I'm not sure if it's my brain losing plasticity or if I'm just realizing how much keeping up with all of the latest technologies doesn't actually make me better at my job. My job being to leverage technology to satisfy business requirements.

That said, I'm definitely less of a team player because my answer to questions now is, "I've got no idea" compared to "whoa, that's really lucky you asked because I just read this article yesterday, let's try that out"

It seems like I'm in the minority at work though. I posted this article like, "DAE?" and the answer was nah.

Diabolical, but I'd be lying if I didn't say this is a clever hack.
That's not what happened here. People weren't actively posting their friends' details to some stranger. They were using an FB feature and checking a box. They barely even had any way of knowing exactly what data about their friends would end up being shared with the 3rd party.

The uphill battle of prioritizing technical debt
And here I was thinking python was finally adding built-in, native, regex matching to the language, the one last reason I still use perl sometimes because of the quasi java-level verbosity and heavy-handedness of the re python package.

But no, it's just about adding switch to python ... frankly, who cares.
The same reason Firefox and Safari don't use Google V8 & Blink. They (mostly Safari) are the only opposition to Google monopolistic control on the web.

You will always be under control of others if you don't take your independence and open-source means little when it is in practice controlled by only one entity.

If you build an OS on top of Android like /e/, replicant & Lineage & etc. , you are doomed to be living in Google' shadow . They'll shut you down anytime you do something they don't like. And even if it is open-source, if you disagree, you'll never have the financial means to maintain an up to date Android fork. Once/if they abandon Android for Fushia, it's going to be hard maintaining all abandoned Android legacy code alone.

Then, there are also technical reasons. We could ask "why create a new UI lib from scratch when we have QT ?". Yes for the end-user it's mostly the same (a bunch of text and buttons), yet people are developing custom UI lib (eg. Blender/Godot), Flutter, React, Svelte, Druid, Moxie, Makepad, etc. This is needed for innovation and/or to fit your own needs.

Real Linux has lots of potential : it can run Blender, Krita, Godot, VsCode, Steam games, any language, FreeCad, KiCad, Matlab, etc. (None of them have mobile UIs, but still are an asset for tablets & convergence). It is not governed by Google or Apple and it has already quite some drivers for several devices (I could just install Bitwig on a Linux tablet, plug a MIDI keyboard and make music).

So there are definitely reasons to take this path and personally I find this far more exciting than Lineage (although I use Lineage daily & I'm super grateful to that it exists)
