> - GitHub prefers cheap virtue signaling not only to actually caring about racism, but to technical merit and customer service: the public pays for this PR stunt with millions of adjustments to their repositories and working copies

Neither git nor GitHub is forcing the branch names to change. git added the ability to specify a default branch instead of hardcoding it to 'master'. Github is taking this into consideration by allowing the users to specify their own default branch as well, and updating documentation and command examples to use 'main' as the default branch name.

> - Branch names, and many other similar things, are now a battleground for freedom of expression, exposed to dangerous storms of political correctness

No freedom of expression concerns here. You actually have more freedom now as git, GitHub, GitLab now make it easier to choose your own default/primary branch instead of hardcoding it to initialize to 'master'.

> - GitHub has the arrogance of trying to control how people call their branches, and ultimately people's political ideology through the manipulation of language

GitHub is not controlling anything. You, like always, can name your default branch 'master' if you want.
I've really enjoyed my Pi-hole so far, so I decided to make an open-source version on the ESP32. It's not quiet finished yet, but it is very close. There are only a few small things that need to be done before I can call it stable, but the last 10% of a project is somehow always the hardest.

Agreed, I kept looking through all the examples for labelling of both the axes. It's a bit strange that you would not show the number one thing most people are looking for in a chart.
VR in K‐12 and higher education: A systematic review of the literature 2000-2019
Hey I'm Jeremy, CEO of Finley. That’s exactly right--when I was a debt investor at Goldman Sachs (which is on the receiving end of these reports), I spent 30% of my week reviewing and correcting the reports that came in. All of that happened in Excel and required dozens of rounds of back-and-forth with borrowers. It's a really tough technical problem given data comes from a number of sources depending on a borrower's given industry. Given this dynamic, we're focused on fintech and proptech first, because that's where real-time data is most accessible
Amazing project! This will be very practical for my Blazor application. It's a nice way to prevent ugly JavaScript interop wrapper for charting libraries :-)

So python 2 partially now, is what that sounds like to me.

But I understand that's apparently not the intention.
Right, but the story sounds plausible because accidentally pasting '# foo > bar' would safely neuter everything else on the line.

If # isn't special, then the rest of the line is still parsed, so pasting '# foo || bar' or '# foo > baz' does do something.
names don't hurt. how we respond is what can hurt, how we allow words to infect us. but we have brains that can rationalize that away, make us defiant and resilient against it. we're literally talking about the trivialities of 5 year olds when we talk so incessantly about names.

what really hurts is, for instance, decades of redlining and systemic bias in politics, economics, education, nutrition, medicine, and a myriad of other daily, real issues that affect the lives of millions of americans, and billions of people worldwide.

this discussion is bullshit because we are not talking about those things. it's a misdirection.

Git's terminology descends from BitKeeper, which was explicitly using master/slave: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2019-May/...

Additionally, I don't think sense 29 actually makes sense here. A "master copy" is immutable. Once somebody burns a master record, that's it — you're done. You make copies from that one because it is deemed "correct" in some sense.

But git branches are not immutable; they are able to be added to at any point. The master branch can be interpreted as collating the work done by all of the other branches: non-master branches do some work, then it gets merged back to `master`. Which means... the master branch is coordinating work done in other branches. And, in many git workflows, work on the master branch itself is discouraged, meaning almost all work is done in separate branches and then the master branch is used to accumulate that work, and is the main reference point to see "the current state of things". I don't think it's a stretch to see why the master/slave relationship seems a more fitting sense of "master" than "master copy".
Looks good but not practical to use. I would love to see some JS support through which I can feed in data. Looking at documentation, I did not find how can I feed data. Looks like I have to calculate it manually or hardcode it.

If I missed something, can you point me to the right place in documentation?
That's something that would make this useful.
This is an interesting use of DGPS signals.

the first thing I ask myself in this sort of situation is whether the person is actually correct. part of being effective in a specific role is refusing to take on random work people throw at you. estimates can't be valid if key players are spending lots of time on stuff that wasn't on the schedule.

if the person is really just being obstructive, explain to their manager (or have your manager explain to that manager) why you think that team should fix the issue. keep going up the chain until someone with authority knows who ought to fix the issue. it's possible you get all the way to the CEO without finding someone responsible for fixing the issue, but in this case the problem is with the organization, not the IC.

> What I hate when I'm reading these things is the colorful, biography-like nonsense that major publications (and self-important "journalists") like to toss into stories

I've noticed that many supposedly serious, non-fiction books written in the past two decades begin (and are liberally interspersed) with such "prose"; I personally find it so irritating that I invariably drop the book immediately and read no further. As such writing doesn't seem to be associated with any particular author, publisher or theme, I imagine it represents an effort, across the publishing industry, to make non-fiction books more appealing to the general public.
> They forgot to talk to people who are actually members of the black community. The very people they are trying to not offend.

I don't get what makes the author think that any such change should only happen with an explicit approval from "black community". TBH I don't see how community's opinion on this topic is relevant at all.

This is a change by people who felt uneasy about the old name for people who felt the same. If you're not in this category, it's a no-op for you. Existing repos still have master, new repos can have main branch renamed to master trivially.

Don't attach so much meaning to something so fucking insignificant. It makes zero difference for some, it makes some difference to others. Who gives a shit?

My only problem with the rename is that I apparently have muscle memory of typing `gco master` and `git rebase master` without thinking so I now lose a few seconds of productivity on newer repos until I learn to adapt to it. I can live with that.
I have a NanoPi R2S with OpenWrt for almost one year. It's a ARM device so uses very litter power. One of its two gigabits ports is converted from USB3. Works well with 500Mbps downlink.

I guess it depends upon what you mean.

For many projects, DI frameworks are a giant cargo cult. Whether you use annotations or XML. More broadly, Java's obsession with "flexibility" (really, false flexibility) is a giant cargo cult.

If you're talking about webapps specifically... using XML in Java was not a cargo cult. It was the only option in 2007. Even if you didn't use Spring.

As these “just so” stories explain how something grew or developed over multiple generations, we should keep in mind something that isn’t stated: for this to happen, tons of humans were apparently dying of hunger, unable to get enough to eat, before they passed on their genes. Either that or the humans with larger brains were able to survive better and have more children for other reasons. But then the reductionist theory is wrong. Hmm which is more likely?

Why not? It looks very practical to me.

Currently when wanting a chart on a webpage I would fetch the data, transform it to the needed javascript array, add that to the HTML, and then initialize the javascript library painting the chart. With a CSS solution I'd just create a HTML-datatable instead, apply the needed classes and have it be rendered directly. It looks easier, faster and more accessible to me.

The example graphs are a bit flat, but that's just default styling. That's likely changeable with CSS, and animations can also be added that way, there are example for that linked in the docs.

Awesome project.

> Has that ever worked?

From section "Priming accuracy improves sharing":

"[...] sharing discernment (the difference in sharing intentions for true versus false headlines) was 2.0 times larger in the treatment relative to the control group in study 3, and 2.4 times larger in study 4. Furthermore, there was no evidence of a backfire effect, as the treatment effect was actually significantly larger for politically concordant headlines than for politically discordant headlines"

In other words, people who were primed to pay attention to accuracy were significantly less likely to share misinformation. Seems to me like an example of it working quite well.
I think could definitely be a practical use for super simple visualizations (think inline sparklines)
On the Usage page it shows everything but the result of applying the Chart styling which is one of the first things I want to see in a project like this.

Are there any sample graphs using more than 5 data points? I'd also want to see how this scales to reasonable blog-post level graphs which will probably be in the 30+ point range (a data point every five minutes covering a 3 hour range, or hourly for a week, both seem like reasonable minimum data sizes to be able to render well).

I love the potential accessibility benefits of using data tables directly styled like this.
Re: YouTube, the internet as a whole has gotten pretty for "How do I X?" queries.

My favorite anecdote was the time I ripped a hole in the side of my house, then googled "How do I frame a rough opening for a window?" ... and that story turned out fine, with my house having a new window at the end of the day, and not a gaping hole with a tarp tied to it.
Technically speaking the GPL doesn't force companies to "give back". It simply says you must give the source to anyone who's been provided a binary. Not even by default, you can comply by making them ask and mailing them physical media (if you really want to be a jerk about it).

A vast majority of the GPL "giving back" I see is Company XYZ dropping a messy tarball in some obscure portion of their web site. The code never goes anywhere, and frequently not upstream. No one else benefits from their work or GPL compliance.

Not that this is a good approach - the real companies that "get it" know they're better off upstreaming anything they want/need to depend on in the future.
Plenty of people are talking about those things. It's not either or.

Names do hurt. Does blackface hurt? That's essentially what having a team called the Redskins is. It's important to talk about how mass media and the mainstream will accept openly racist symbols. In the case of Native Americans it's also important to talk about how they went through a barely recognized genocide and have been systematically discriminated against in a major way.

I don't have reference for that but I always though that CPP directives are preceded by # because the character was previously used as comment delimiter by something (probably csh). In the grand scheme of things cpp is somewhat modern invention. IIRC the first book on Unix programming I had read mentioned in passing that cpp exists but the C code examples in there did not #include anything and if some declaration was required it was just written verbatim in the example code.

And the sharer is just going to trust you to throw away that information? I don't think so.
It's possible to implement all of this without inheriting the additional infrastructure and networking complexity WebRTC brings along with it, not forgetting WebRTC still relies on centralized components to coordinate. Don't use WebRTC unless you really need the features it offers, routers in many scenarios hate it and even where they allow it, the combinatorial explosion in possible configurations to support and diagnose between peers is a problem nobody should willingly invite unless they can't achieve a solution any other way

With WebRTC you give up the nice ultra-low-common-denominator "outbound port 443/TCP needs to work" requirement and replace it with "UDP networking generally healthy, possible to establish port mappings, possible to maintain stable port mappings over time, possible to not have mappings go away due to lack of traffic" etc etc

As a trend-resistant individual, this entire discussion is ridiculous. While I'm white as the plowed snow, my wife is distinctly black.

Whatever injustices that happened have, for the most part, been committed by long-dead people. The concept of "ancestral guilt" is mostly a social fashion for people to maintain their lifestyles without their status quo being disrupted.

I believe this is a fashion that's moving to pivot back again, based on my metamodel of trends[1]. This may take months or years, depending on the culture, but at some point the practical use cases of judging others by what's in their minds will outpace even bothering what skin color someone is.

Though, I must concede, this fashion of demanding reparation-driven political action has gone on for decades in many black communities, so it'll probably only change when their community leaders start forgiving stuff and moving on[2] without getting ostracized by their community[3].

It's recognized by investors who try to make an honest assessment in order to make good investment decisions. Thankfully, this is not a popularity contest.

By any reasonable non-pedantic measure, Tesla has actually been quite profitable over the last couple of years. They've put their entire profit towards building additional production capacity. Of course, they've also used the current investment climate to make capital raises that are bigger than their profits.

IIRC, Tesla have reported profit and cashflow minus capital spending for the last few years, and these numbers show what you expect: A business that's very profitable from a per-unit perspective.

It depends. Affirmative action depending on skin colour is giving someone a different treatment because of their skin colour, which is racist.

There are several forms of affirmative action that depend on things like income and local disparities.
