I've been playing guitar for nearly a decade, recording music for about five years, and I recently started playing the Chapman Stick, which is a wonderful instrument!

I make alternative rock (mostly with female singers) with the occasional splash of electronic instruments.

Yes, I'm all against data collection and I'm pro open source, but let's be honest, Android, despite its flaws (of which it has many), has always been the best MAJOR choice in that regard.

Of course you can always pick up a Librem 5 or a Pinephone, but I'd argue it comes with a lot of drawbacks.
It's in the repository of a certain "torvalds". Better check twice next time what this guy's doing :)
The article itself may not have been written for the purpose, but the timing, release and prominence on the homepage certainly is.

No. There was a story in HN about this issue yesterday and the BBC journalists read HN and other sources for topical stories.

The British establishment is not as cohesive as you think. The BBC is more likely to be mildly Republican and anti monarchist than not, reflecting the intelligencia.

Modern Britain is a racially diverse, mixed culture and this google story is interesting because it poses questions people are interested in.
Discovered so many new sounds and emotion via "alternative means" that I cannot seriously blame anyone for listening for free.

I for one think this is great, even if it means living from my music is but a distant dream in the current system of attention.
Where in that sentence is it implied that one race ( or skin color ) is superior to the other ?

Maybe that's my autism talking, idk, but I fail to see how one can find racism in that sentence.
Code Refactoring: Ultimate Engineers Guide
Because there is no bigotry in that statement, only an awkward observation of a superficial trait?

"You are much more smart because your skin is lighter than I expected," now that would be racism.

Or "I will be happier to work with you because you are lighter than expected."

Or "You must have gotten that job because you are lighter than expected."
Responsibilities

-Management accounting - you will project manage and review our outsourced work on AP and monthly close. You will be integral to providing insightful, timely and accurate financial reporting as part of an “outstanding” finance function.
-Financial controls -you’ll deliver and improve our balance sheet reconciliations and, as we grow, be responsible for building out new controls, and have the autonomy to upgrade them as you see fit.
-Regulatory reporting -- you’ll complete daily safeguarding reporting, monthly regulatory capital reports, various reports in overseas jurisdictions, etc.
-Tax and audit - you’ll collaborate closely with our tax advisors and auditors in various jurisdictions and ensure our returns are filed on time and that we are complying with local requirements. You’ll be integral in key projects such as R&D reporting and ensure we are compliant with transfer pricing regulations.
-Financial systems and process improvements -- you will help identify process improvements and crucial changes to our financial systems -- everything from leading the transition to new accounting software to developing inter-departmental reporting.

Requirements:

-Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA)
-Experience working in or with businesses serving customers in multiple countries and currencies
-Confident and effective communicator with demonstrable experience of managing internal and external stakeholders
-You love technical accounting and either have experience of this within FinTech or have qualified in practice and are looking for your first move into industry.
-Detail-oriented -- you sweat the small stuff
-Highly organized and able to balance competing priorities, including across teams and with external partners
-“No task too small” mentality - sometimes in a start-up you will need to roll your sleeves up and get involved in the detail
-Experience of Xero/Netsuite a bonus but not crucial
-Right-to-work in the UK or Belgium
It would be more like that first half of that sentence
What is success?
Congrats on the launch!

Some comments/requests/suggestions (from a goodreads user):

* For me the main benefit of goodreads is their book suggestions. From what I can tell it's pretty naive but being able to see suggestions that I might enjoy based on my reading history, and also being able to see suggested books based on a single book or author is amazing.

* Read dates (and support for multiple read throughs) would be important to make the move from goodreads.

* Shelfs are nice but it's not clear what they are meant to be used for. I probably would create shelfs for the different genres I read, but then I'm missing a way to split the books in want-to-read/read/reading/gave-up.

* The shelf ui is pretty but not very useful. An option for a grid with filters or search would be nice.

* A good API would be AMAZING. More than amazing actually.

* Monetisation wise, affiliate link to amazon should be a good first way to keep you interested in improving zeneca. I'd say just add it.

* Public roadmap would be great with a way to subscribe for monthly feature updates or something.

Is there a list of companies that fall into category 3 that offer fully remote positions? I worked at a tier 3 company in the bay area and have since settled into what's probably a tier 2 company in Europe. I am considering moving back to the US after covid and doing another 4 years at a tier 3 company, but I would much rather find a job that pays $300k fully remote from Europe (even if that means working on an east coast timezone) than relocating back to the cesspit of San Francisco for $500k.

It should be noted that while Japan is one of the healthiest countries in terms of obesity rate, they have a very high diabetes rate. The article was discussing diabetes

For comparison, about 13% of people in the US have diabetes

I disagree, racism is racism is racism. There is a difference between ignorance and hatred.
First time I heard docker as a prerequisite to TeX usage. Cross-platform comprehensive LaTeX distributions have been there since at least the mid-90s.

And the ecosystem actually is quite good these days. You always had pretty good editor support in the "nerdy" ones, but these days there are also friendlier frontends like Lyx, Texpad, Texstudio or the collaborative web-based Overleaf.

The backend isn't that bad, either. The days of specialized output and font formats are gone, using any system TTF/OTF and producing PDF is easy enough with pdfTeX, luaTeX adds lua-based scripting to that and ConTeXt does all that plus better access to layout primitives and typographical features. And I'm sure the Rust Rewrite Liberation Front is active in TeX, too.

The worst thing in the TeX world, ironically, is documentation. There's a lot of stuff out there that didn't keep up with all the new features and possibilities.
Hence "depending on what is implied". You make a remark because something surprises you, and the reasons for that surprise might be benign or they might be racist.

Context matters - and we don't know the context of the conversation.

If the commenter was being flippant or dismissive or generally uncaring in their conversation it could be taken as racist by someone sensitive to such things.

If the comment was delivered with zero malicious intent and was merely a throwaway observation then it's not racist and only someone looking for offense would take it that way.

Like I said, without background knowledge and context it's impossible to determine if it was a racist remark or not.
I do! Originally a rock/metalhead I got into electronic music production almost a year ago. I released my first EP a few months ago with 80s/alternative/rock/cinematic influences:

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7JKOAYY3h9S1yDHauZrjZp?si=h-...
Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/sebastiansalt
Bandcamp: https://sebastiansalt.bandcamp.com (have to submit the full EP yet)

Just today, I submitted my latest single to the stores: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/sebastiansalt/homecoming-2

It's probably not on par with other productions out there, since I produce, mix and master everything myself, but I enjoy the process a lot and keep on making music!

I'd be happy to receive some feedback and maybe one or two new fans ;)

The problem is not that it isn't clear.

The problem is that it is extremely clear in a way that makes you confidently think something totally wrong.
That's like someone being offended when someone gets called pasty or pale as hell.
I've recently implemented an AVIF encoder (built on ISO HEIF), and working with the specs was quite unpleasant. It's a tower of ISO standards built on top of other ISO standards, with each level they're getting older, broader, and less relevant to the original format they were supposed to be for, so sum of all these specs makes something that is bloated and overcomplicated.

A key spec in this pile was paywalled, so I've reverse-engineered an existing implementation instead. And guess what? The implementation I used as a reference wasn't compliant with the paywalled standard either. So now AVIF-in-the-wild is not compatible with the ISO-AVIF. Great job, ISO!
I've been called super white and super pale. Is that racism?
Can you share more about how you sleep trained them? Thanks.
Playing the devil's advocate. If someone tells you 'tomorrow you'll meet your new colleague Lars from Sweden' consciously or not you'll form expectation about his skin color.
Americans are obviously very unlikely to move anywhere, and not least because they don't know very much about the outside world, let alone speak a foreign language.

The per capita discussion in that post is of course a bit misleading, the US is larger so it's also more likely to attract immigrant.

But my point still stands, unless you are already well off, or an academic, you are very unlikely to have better quality of life in the US than here. You need a pretty high salary in SF for example if you want to enjoy the lifestyle of a nurse or street sweeper in Copenhagen.
As with most categories, labels, and taxonomy, the dichotomy is a human construct. Of course it's not true absolutely. But it still has utility to ponder, and when applied to specific contexts can be powerful.
Interesting. So, as the s-curve begins to climb up and systems demand specialists, then, is it the case that they'd be paid more and hired at higher levels than generalists?

Which is to say, specialists tend to get hired once stability is achieved but also tend to capture more value / status than the generalists that helped the system navigate the s-curve?

Alternatively, are all senior hires at stable systems like FAANGs, specialists? Even if they're generalists, do they get valued less than them: May be hired at Staff level instead of Senior Staff or above?
... but isn't rush hour traffic basically that? Car in front of you starts to move forward then sometimes suddenly stops. People usually have experience with this, though it's a whole other category compared to entering a seemingly empty intersection as the second car and the first car slams the brakes because it turns out the intersection wasn't empty.
I can't even imagine what this comment means/how it's used. There is really not enough context here. "expected?" Like the first time they met them?

It seems like Google HR's initial response of "assume good intent"[0] seems reasonable, absent additional details:

> Cruz, who is Mexican American and prefers to be identified by the pronouns they/them, reported the incident to human resources in 2019 where personnel told them they should “assume good intent,” Cruz recalled in an interview. Unsatisfied, Cruz asked human resources to look deeper into the incident, and an HR official said an investigation into the matter had been closed, Cruz said.

I feel like the journalist failed to actually convince us that this was something newsworthy.

Sorry, but you're wrong. The question of bias in the BBC is pertinent. The whole of the exec team are Conservative donors.

Modern Britain was "racially diverse, mixed culture" up until the day fully half the country decided to turn insular and vote for Brexit. Which allowed the racist, bigoted and hateful half of the country to feel like they could voice their opinions without consequence.
Interesting point, would definitely make it much easier to remaster some tracks to quattro.
When you opened an issue on the respective but trackers what did they answer?
I developed a music theory MIDI generator with all scales, all chords, all keys including the past 100 years of chord progressions used in popular music (ordered by most famous to very dissonant ones). You can find the beta MIDI chord pack here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9l6guk9jdz5mpe6/MidiTheoryPack_bet...

With these progressions you can easily create a basic harmony for your music and with the scales and chords you can diversify them and make them actually great compositions.

But please don't share this too much yet. I'm still working on that and will release it Open Source very soon after a refactoring of the code. If you are good in music theory. Please send me suggestions here in the comments. I'll keep you posted

To me, the core of the syntax is:

target: prereq | ooprereq
recipe

In my eyes, the most important thing when building something that is complex is the dependency graph and it makes sense to make the syntax for defining the graph as simple as possible. I think the make syntax just nails it and most of the other approaches I have seen so far add complexity without any benefit. In fact, most of the complexity they introduce seems to stem from confusion on the side of the developer being unable to simplify what they're trying to express.

At the level of variable handling and so forth, make is slightly annoying but manageable.

Anything beyond that - yeah, I'm with you, a lot of that is terrible.
I'm extremely puzzled as to how you see that as racist, and even more puzzled at how you seem puzzled yourself.
Your right it is.

Any mention of skin tone is verboten!

We must not mention it no matter the context!

I don't know but you would have to work out how to resolve conflicts as well. So you would need something like a version vector or vector clock.
Which applies to all areas. As your organization grows it more and more attracts people who typically just switch jobs between organizations of the same size, and bring their culture, "best practices" that are typically the worst, approaches to work and other values with them.

At the same time you can see founders caring less and less about what's going on.

Is there a way to stop this? I don't think so for as long as there's a lot of investment money in circulation. Raising money for any more or less successful tech business is so cheap these days that founders rarely think of the alternatives, such as not raising and staying lean.

No, it's more complicated than that. If someone cuts in front of you and you end up rear-ending them, it's not your fault. See all the fucking break-check idiots. (And the videos when someone does it to a car, which then turns out to be a cop.)

That said, yes, in theory you have to be alert, as the car in front of you can at any moment do something unexpected. (Eg. the driver falls asleep and crashes into the barrier.)

There's no skill element if there's a house edge. The house edge is how the casino makes money. If there's no house edge, then you're essentially renting services from the casino to run a sort of player market. For example, with poker, the casino takes a percentage of the pot, which is known as the rake.

One possible exception of the above is that at times you may get favorable rules from the casino where you can get a small edge with certain games. One example is blackjack. Perfect play of blackjack does require skill, but perfect play is a ceiling. There is effectively no ceiling (no perfect play) with a game such as poker.
I have had code I wrote replaced by something that was 30% smaller, faster and more stable. It was a good and humbling experience.

I contributed an inliner to a language about ten years ago. Inlining is a problem that might seem easy at first, but for me it was like trying to restrain a rabid dog on a leash. I was pretty damn pleased with the end results and it served the language implentation well until about 2015. Then someone with an actual understanding of the problem worked on it for a week and produced something that I would describe as poetry.
Why are merge conflicts considered a problem? They're just git asking you what the source should really look like. They can be tricky to resolve but not insurmountable.

What this really looks like is a procrastination tool so that somebody can sit back and relax when they see someone else is changing the same area in the source.

I'd love to hear why I'm wrong.
What grates me is that HR is full of people who go out of their way to appear as your friend. It's plain deception.

If they were merely unapproachable and grumpy that wouldn't be so bad. But they put on their smiley faces, ask about your well-being etc all while screwing you behind closed doors.
I don't think there is any "passive" income in YouTube or creating something. Passive income flow is owning for example 20% of a farm which pays you out a share of their income every year.

This being said, don't make it complicated. The last 10 years, putting your savings into FAANG was enough, and the next 10? Well, I am 3 years in BTC and it paid me well (2019: +60%, 2020: +350%, 2021: +80%).

I dunno, having a bit of ginger myself has made me the target of jokes and ridicule. Being a bit of a nerd means my skin is far often pastier than others, and people comment on it. I have been called translucent and have asked if I have half a soul because my beard is ginger and my hair is brown. People say ignorant idiotic crap all the time. It's ignorance, judging people based on their appearance, and it's been happening to anyone not white for centuries.

/sarcasm
By the whole surrounding system that treated differently and badly people according to their skin color for ages? People who say a skin color comment is just like a hair color one are delusional. Obviously there are different levels of racism, but a comment like this is already racist because it's expliciting expectations based on people's origins.
right, especially as "after being told by a colleague that their skin was much darker than the co-worker expected." is a description of what happened, not an actual record of what was said. There are lots of ways that can be said, some of which could be extremely racist.
The key is in "expected". Why did someone expect another person to be of a certain color? Note that the person in question is named Benjamin Cruz, and has a skin tone more or less consistent with their name [1], and not especially dark.

So the question is why the expectation of "being white" was there. A reasonable interpretation (with limited knowledge, of course) is that they expected Cruz to be white because they expect mostly white people to be hired at their level. That is clearly racism, as you're attributing intelligence to race.

Of course there are other interpretations, but I wouldn't say that 'you should seek help if you see racism' is helpful at all.

No, because the new dogmatic definition of racism and sexism excludes the possibility of white people and men as a gender ever being discriminated against at.

Also known as “There’s no such thing as reverse racism!”, which as a premise to fight racism (different treatment based on skin-colour) starts off by dividing people into different skin-colours, so that they can be treated differently (and the equivalent mental exercise for sexism/gender).

It would be hilarious if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s being done seriously and gaining momentum.
