I’m saying “if so you should be able to find an actual example.” is false.

CGP Grey argued (paraphrased) “if X happens in the future, Y will be like Z”, you are arguing that Y will never be like Z in the future because Y is not currently like Z.

VW has Euro 7 and a lot of customers who only buy local. They don't need to compete on quality to do well, they just have to beat a certain price point once the next round of EU emissions kick in.
> Bank deposits also suffer from the risk that the bank will fail.

Alas, thanks to widespread government deposit insurance, that's not really much of a risk.
> Do you know a lot of "left" people who actively speak against the "woke" crowd? I know very few. Almost all of them who speak on the topic, speak in unequivocal support of "woke" ideas and talking points.

This article we are commenting on is an example of this.
Volkswagen is a large conglomerate, they own both "economy" brands like VW itself (which is already simplified since the VW brand also sells low-end luxury cars like the Phaeton) but also premium brands like Porsche (well actually they don't own them, it's complicated), Bugatti, Bentley and Lamborghini. If they leverage their technology platform correctly they could outcompete Tesla in many areas, though it remains to be seen if they are actually able to.
> Once "master" is used in combination with "slave", it refers back to slavery and leans on it, there is no doubt about it.

This is not how language works. E.g. if you recall the debate about this, some people dug up an email from, I guess, Linus that mentioned master and slave repositories and some reasoning around that repositories are identical to branches yadda-yadda. (Or maybe the email was actually referring to the terminology used in another DVCS they were taking idea from.)

So they have proven that say some 15 years ago the thing was originally named so because of the master/slave concept (the technical concept). However, nothing proves better than the need to dig this up that meanings indeed do change. Especially when you use a name that has multiple meanings, like master. They named it master because of master/slave but the majority probably never knew this (I've never heard anyone talking about a slave branch) so just assumed master is master as in master copy, source of truth, etc.

This is how language works. After all, this is how the word master acquired the meaning of "owner of slaves" which it did not have originally. So yes, it was named master because it was related to the concept that we (used to?) describe with the expression that does refer to slavery but we definitely changed the context over time.

Regarding the name change, you can see several ways how it does harm. One of them was described in the post: by diverting the discourse and using up the effort that could have been spent on handling the real issues. Whether we are talking about people who did want to do something positive and now they feel they did (this is what the post is about) as well as the people who could have been recruited for taking meaningful actions but got pissed off/tired of this stupidity.

I honestly think that both this master branch thing and black/whitelist was 100% stupid because, as said in the blog post context . I'm not sure about the master/slave, but I'm 100% willing to accept that it can be offensive (and I'm treating it as such), though it would be interesting to hear the opinion of those affected, like the post author. (I just miss the nuisances here as I'm not from the US. Before hearing all the debate around this, I would have simply said that slavery was a wide-spread phenomenon during human history and it refers to that concept. That doesn't mean we don't think it's a terrible thing to do to a human being or that we don't empathise will all of those who had to endure it during their life.)

edit: I've re-read your comment, and I'm no longer sure which "side" of this you fall on, I think my point stands alone anyway, so I'll leave it:

You've not met me, but I'm a left-leaning individual who thinks the drama about "cancel culture" is mostly invented.

There's lots of people doing crappy thing on the internet generally and on twitter in particular.

In a world where you can get anonymous death threats for pretty much any reason, I've not seen any evidence that "the left" or "cancel culture" is an actual problem in this regard beyond the baseline of people being nasty when anonymous.

I have seen people, often on both sides of the same issue, point to unpleasant people on the other side and make some kind of argument that "those people" are all crazy. Some of the individual stories are horrifying but I've never found any of them convincing at the level of settling the argument (whichever argument it is invoke in). It's just used as a way to circle the wagons against the other side.
It's critical to explaining that investment banks can be wrong, stupid, or both for very long periods of time, and that can make the whole world worse off.

I always feel bad when I see someone who was pulled to the management track early in their career. They often never acquired the technical skills or even knowledge of the technical skills of their more senior engineering counterparts.

It really does a disservice to pull someone into management 3-5 years into their career. People will often take the role as it looks like a promotion, but ultimately it's a lateral move with slightly better pay in most environments.
I'm not sure you're fully understanding what copyright is. On the one hand, people see it as protection from unlimited copying. On the other, it's literally a way to allow others to license a work that society might otherwise decide belongs only to the creator or their patron.

Broadway might still exist. All the theaters, especially community theaters, across the country that don't have Eugene O'Neill or Richard Rodgers would have a terrible time pulling a full house if Bob's nephew wrote all the plays. If there was no way to protect the works made for Broadway, the incentive for people to spend the time writing, composing, arranging, designing sets, making costumes, and choreographing those shows largely disappears. The show can be redone down the street or in Omaha the next week, and all the money goes to the theater doing the ripping off. The show can be videotaped and shown on Hulu the next night, and all the money goes to Hulu.

Shakespeare's plays are beyond the time limits on copyright, which there definitely should be. They are also considered classics. The performance, believe it or not, can still be under copyright. You can't generally go in and record the performance and put out your own stream or DVD of it.

As an app developer I tried for so long to get my hands on a Jolla Tablet, or an alternative tablet that could run Sailfish, so I could update my apps to run properly in tablet mode. I've finally given up on that with the realization that if the tablets are this hard to get, then there aren't enough users with them to bother fixing my apps for them.

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that.

I wonder what is different now. The woke movement doesn’t seem to get any weaker, even as it adopts more and more identity groups.
which i would be very happy to have. As long as it is consistently enforced, and clear as law.
>Nope. When such large groups are concerned, of course you'll find people who'd want to ostracize you one way or the other, so the choice of what the "Left" is to you is ultimately on you. If that's what you focus on, an aspect of the left that you don't like but which has been a part of it for a hundred years, then you're just looking for excuses.

Funny thing: you're dismissing my case here without even bothering to find out what the object-level example was going to be! You skipped the part where I explicitly specified that I'm talking about a culture-war issue that applies specifically and in depth to my minority group, too, not some opportunity to pontificate on other people's problems.
It's probably greenwashing (I've not done any estimates of Apple's environmental impact), but above all it's lobbying currency.

Edit: getting some downvotes, probably because I'm coming off as cynical. Thing is that to take Apple's investment into green energy as anything other than manipulation of perception or their tax situation is to be terribly naive. Charity of this scale doesn't exist amongst the business giants.
> Is “person of color” an okay thing to say in US?

I'm not English native so that could be the wrong term, not trying to offend anyone. In this context, I mean "discriminated persons/peoples".

IIRC, I saw this on the rules of r/publicfreakout (stating that videos representing "POC" would be moderated). For me "POC" means "Proof Of Concept", so I asked and discover it was about "Person Of Color" and so I use this on English spoken Internet.

But I agree, it's a weird term and I never use this in my native language. Each country have different way to talk about racism and discrimination because each country have it's own racism and discrimination problems.
I find that the majority of edge cases come from the business system (the business has a system/process that we turn into a technical system). I try to approach it like a lawyer trying to find a loophole. Try to ask questions that challenge assumptions about what conditions are possible in the system and ask questions that seem absurd but fit the requirements.

For example, if you're building a financial system maybe ask if a negative balance is allowed. If you charge a fee based on balance (like using basis points), can the fee be negative or is there a set floor? A negative fee sounds stupid, which is why the business probably wouldn't mention it in requirements, but it would be important to set the floor at $0 so if a negative balance occurred, we wouldn't issue a fee.
Interesting... are there any keyboards with a trackball in a position easily accessible by the right thumb? (I haven't used a trackball myself but I've heard good things...)

EDIT: hadn't seen the sibling commenter mention https://atulloh.github.io/oddball/ which looks interesting, but perhaps too minimal for my taste (eg; where's the space button?)

Ergodox, if you're reading this, an integrated trackpad/trackball solution would be pretty appealing!
pure speculation, but I doubt there's some intrinsic quality of android that makes users reluctant to pay for apps. more likely, people that are very price sensitive are more likely to have an android phone to begin with. the cheapest new iphone is already $400. while it may not be a good long-term value, you can buy an android phone for $50.
I love SQLAlchemy and Alembic. I’ve done many migrations from other languages to Python and to Django controlled databases using these tools.

When starting a new Go project this year I insisted we roll the database with Alembic so we would have a solid migration framework. I don’t regret it but the team has replaced it with Go Migrations with raw SQL and it looks like it’s going to be great but SQLAlchemy and Alembic will always be my go-to for important, timely database work when there isn’t already an ORM and/or migration tool in place.

Edit to add (see below): SQLAlchemy makes it easy to share access to things that aren’t controlled by Django but I did not make Django model or manager shims to hide the fact SQLAlchemy was in play.
Samsung recently announced that it would offer four years of software support to most of its Galaxy smartphones and tablets. That's two or three major Android OS updates and security patches for an additional year. More than Pixels I think. That combined with very nice hardware makes Samsung a great choice for Android phones - they are the only ones remaining that make Android tablets as well.

That CVE is for third party software. But this brings up a good point. It has a good API surface you can plug into in many ways.

There have been some CVEs, but all the exploits I'm aware of already had patches and were only exploitable for un-updated models.

I honestly don't know what you mean by not invented here. They did create a wireless protocol for point-to-point products with some advantages for those who opt into it, but that's the only thing I can think of.

Sometimes their documentation is lacking, but generally their docs are very good.
attraction is almost completely defined by society, and how we talk about desirable traits informs that.

take weight for instance:

in late feudal/early industrial society a heavy set person was seen as very attractive. access to the resources to become fat was hard, so a fat person was rich and the weight conveyed power.

in the same feudal/industrial time pale skin was also seen as very attractive, because it meant the person didn't have to labor outside for a living.

now thin tan people are all the rage, but you're saying we don't decide on what is attractive as a society?
I don't think that's a problem of the modern world. It just wasn't as easy previously to learn about all the stupid things people did.

But note that the person in question has studied and works at a marketing position in the IT industry. Not sure if he qualifies for "average".

All kinds of people can be stupid at times.
I am just testing out some machine learning to extract tags from HTML. This is a very initial beta version. At the moment, I can find out tags with names, testimonials (e.g. they come under a section with title testimonials), and logos.

Of course it must be improved. But let me know anyway if you see some application for this tech.
True. Evidence one way or the other is needed.

It's the same situation. You don't have $500k - you have an opportunity to get $500k if you do things right. If it's kept as BTC, there's a number of things that could bring the value to $0 without the scam.
Also, getting paid doesn't do you much good nor does it put much pressure on the US:

Before you have some pieces of paper (bonds) that the US issued. Afterwards you have some pieces of paper (cash) that the US issued.

And the US can create arbitrary amounts of cash, if they really have to.

(Obviously, these days it's all entries in databases. But you get my drift.)

I think this has been going on longer, but the players are different now. It looks like it used to be a forum for smaller players and well capitalized individuals to pump small volume options positions, because you can make a few k off of retail investors following your bait in a tiny pocket of the market. Now it’s something that bigger investors noticed and are now participating in.

> “Meritocracy!”, I hear you cry. “They pick from the most talented students. The ones that worked the hardest to get into the most elite schools. The black students should have just worked harder”. I guess mummy and daddy paying $20 mil for a new library to get me a seat at an ‘elite’ school is still meritocracy eh?

That's quite a straw man. If you're genuinely in favor of meritocracy, you should inherently be against the rich buying their way into positions. Just because bad thing A happens, that doesn't mean we should just allow bad thing B to happen too. We should stop bad thing A!

I do agree with the basic sentiment of this article. The tech industry would benefit from more diversity - particularly diversity of thought, which does not necessarily mean increasing diversity of skin color but would probably make the industry a more inviting place for minorities in the future. Nonsense like renaming benign technical terms does absolutely nothing to help with that.
Ok, so what is that larger effect that costs the same, then?

The idea that you need to do something that is better before you can do something that is less, even if the cost is the same seems to imply that there is only a limited amount of energy that is expendable on these topics.

As seen from the bucketloads of comments and posts about this OLD issue (the python link is from 2018) it seems there's enough energy going around.

The idea that something can't be good, just because it is not the highest item on a list is nonproductive.

The ACA was considered a Republican-friendly approach to health care prior to it becoming a partisan issue (More or less the same approach was introduced by Romney in Utah). It's not particularly progressive, either in comparison to other countries or past attempts in the U.S., and is only really considered such because it turned into a blue team vs. red team issue.
So nobody should ever be the fool? You’re describing a world where people are afraid to speak academically about things that matter.
(Just to add a quick corrigendum here - you need to separately invoke #'package-install-selected-packages, after #'package-initialize and adding your ELPA repos, to install missing packages.

You are right about the aggregate. But interesting things happen at the margins, too.

While i recently gave up self-hosting anything because i felt it was too time consuming, and instead i rely on public services like bitbucket for git hosting, i still have a Gitea instance running in docker on a host that is setup to mirror all my Bitbucket repositories.

While probably not really needed as Git repositories are self contained, i find it nice to have a "backup" on hand.

I'd say they're closer to Samsung, honestly. They make their own components and sell an upscale, premium product in high quantities.

Battery factories are being build as quickly as possible. That is certainly true. However we're still at the level where one small countries electricity demand would demand a significant percentage of global production for some years to build out. That puts us many years away from grid storage being useable worldwide.

Vehicle to grid is interesting but the number of chargers which currently support it very low. It requires a non-trivial amount of infrastructure to invert high voltage DC from the battery back back to a grid synchronous AC signal. In addition to the extra wear on the battery it's had to see how this would be good value while being acceptable to consumers. In some respects recycling of batteries after their service life in a car is a more interesting scenario for grid storage.
How is a democracy in which the elite ultimately control which political ideas circulate through the electorate any different from an oligarchy?
I think it's the solid, flat grey-metallic border that gives it the iPad look. It's clearly distinct from e.g. the Surface (also grey border, but either slanted or with grove) or the Galaxy Tab (rounded towards the rear) or the Lenovo Tab (black, rounded in all directions).

Though really there are only so many variations on "flat rectangle with screen" you can do, it's hard to come up with an obvious design that isn't in use by someone.
I think you should try out the ORM outside the context of your application to get some familiarity. I don't think you should foist it on your existing app for no reason. Learning SQLAlchemy is a solid investment if you are working with Python and are going to be working with relational databases.

I agree. I learned to code in my 20s but I felt real confidence only after building multiple products that have real paying customers or products that other web developers use to build their products with paying customers. After building a dozen products, I believe that I can learn and build any feature within technically possible. This was not the case after coding parts of application or going through tutorials, but became the case after building entire applications from scratch for real customers.

EDIT: typos

And if you need less than that you can do a lot just with SSH and file system permissions for read only deploy keys. I wrote a script that uses a directory structure with sym-linked ssh keys as a config for a to add/edit/remove ssh access.

It appeals to me because I had gitlab for our 2 person team and it was just wrong sized for us. So many features went unused. Frequent upgrades meant an increasingly powerful server was required for doing basically nothing most of the time. CI/CD is not something we need.

True, but the stock software on any cheap router you buy is also all running as root, assuming that there's even a concept of users, or any other kind of isolation, in the OS it's using.

The standards on that stuff are shockingly low. I mean, think about the stupidest, laziest, most slipshod shit you can imagine, and then be assured that it's worse than that.

... and "small business" routers are only slightly better. Even "enterprise" equipment isn't all that stellar.

Personally, I use real Linux as a router, and a separate WiFi access point behind it that gets as little trust as I can manage.
