This seems pretty close to just saying, “If we can’t change the world, let us change nothing at all.”

Sure, it’s trivial. It doesn’t, in any significant way, actually do anything. But I find a lot of time when reviewing code — if there are code badly formatted or variables misspelled, I have a hard time looking at the actually problems in the code until those superficial things are fixed.
Thanks for info! That is more reasonable than I assumed from 30% diagram.

You may want to try to clarify that on your landing page.

What I fear the most with SOTeams is that valuable knowledge may end up confined in company-limited silos. Not only it's not widely accessible, but also can go away for ever if the company ditches the service :/
How to Catch Spam with Rspamd

Hello world
I think your stats are quite suspect (in fact, made up, as you pretty much mention) and no, it's not at all irrelevant. I know my family history back to the 1600s; these folks were poor as dirt and indebted at times but they were not enslaved. (Some were part of this European 'crofting' system but that is not the same as slavery.)

More importantly, I can ask around in my family and find out family health history, how long people lived; I know where they came from and can find relatives. My African-American friends cannot all do the same. For some, their known family history only goes back to the last slave sale. They don't know where their ancestors came from in Africa. They have limited knowledge of family health history, compared to what I know. I know the language my great-great-great grandparents spoke; they don't. I can do research on historical foods from my area; they can't. With the advent of modern genetics, some can figure out some of that (look, maybe I'm Igbo, let me go to Wikipedia and look that up....) but it's quite different than being able to ask your aunt to set you up on a tour of where your ancestors lived in the 1700s and her being able to just look on her desk for those files.
coalitions can form without being braindead. it's about being cognizant of the mechanisms of control that are impinging on us and resisting those so we can have meaningful dialog on issues that matter, not this bullshit.
Heh heh! I like the idea of being in love with the idea of being a businessman! :)

I wish I could tell you I have mental fortitude + hustle. I think I got lucky because I always had people around me who inspired me. I was a product owner / manager / CEO for quite some years who hung out with "techies" all the time.

My ancestors may have been slaves 1,000 years ago. Even serfdom in Europe began to fizzle out 500 years ago. My ancestors were never enslaved in the US, under the US Constitution, under a US Congress, US President, and US judicial system. If your grandfather can tell you stories about his grandfather who was once enslaved, I think that matters. I think our understanding of where we come from matters.
I tried Dendron once and was put off by the dotted namespacing (foo.bar.note.md). Would be a lot simpler if I could just use folders instead (much less clutter, and I'd be OK with specifying the folder name in links).

Not sure if the current version already allows that - but this is a common flaw with most Markdown note-taking software (I have around 8000 posts/notes spanning 16 years of hierarchies, some time-based and some context-based).

Intentional attempt to court controversy aside, I'm not sure it matches up to this discussion thread.

Even if you believe China is harvesting the organs of what they consider undesirables, the parallel accusation is that they are _reducing_ the Uyghur birth rate, not _breeding_ them for the purpose.

Also, strictly speaking, the organ harvesting conspiracy theory is more about Falun Gong than the Uyghurs.
How to Start Coding?
Application software such as this shouldn’t be free. It hides the true cost to developers from consumers and, if they’re ad supported hooks into one of the most insidious, malicious systems we’ve ever devised.

I won’t work on free software. I have too much respect for myself, my family, and my colleagues to do that.
Ok, I just purchased the song. What does that get me in terms of art enjoyment? I also purchased a Van Gogh original canvas, which is cool because I really like Van Gogh and it’s cool to have something that he touched, plus I think it has details that the prints are missing. Are the 8-track tapes of Heroes for sale here, so I can hear the original raw recording, or did I just get nothing?
I find that whenever I post about my failures, my blog gets more comments and readers are just more engaged in general. They can relate to it! There's way too much "look what I can do!" out there.

What would you suggest from your readings?

I've mostly benefited from hard realism approach and Actor theory (as applied by some: everyone has an agenda, to work with them: Align, make Peace, or Destroy).
Unfortunately "accuracy" has been recoded to "insurrectionist".

Take for instance the recent retraction published by the washington post about Trumps interaction with the Georgia Secretary of State pressuring him to "find votes".

People pay close attention to the news pointed out the misinformation that WaPo was peddling, and how dangerous it was, and those people were called every mean name in the book.

Eventually those people will just stop pointing out the innacuracies in reporting.
We know animals are not as smart as us. That doesn't necessary tell us anything about consciousness. We have no way to measure consciousness so your claim about "human-level consciousness" (whatever that means) is just speculation.
You're assuming too many things about me. "Left" is a term with centuries of history. I use it because it accurately describes my positions, and the traditions and schools of thought that most influenced my views.
"I want to share my own reactions to the name change since this is a really interesting topic. For context, I'm an African American, so many of my ancestors were slaves."

Yes and so were the ancestors of every race on this planet at some point.

"So, next time you are annoyed that you have to fix a script or you accidentally type master when you needed to type main, please just take a deep breath, change the name, and remember to reflect upon whether you have are subconscious habits or biases that work against diversity in tech"

What exactly am I supposed to be reflecting on? I don't need useless word changes that cause issues at my job to do that. This sort of strange thinking that somehow language causes racism and not the other way around needs to stop. It lacks so much logic it's infuriating, especially for people in tech fields. Additionally, you're simplifying words to one specific meaning when in reality the word master gets used in a multitude of different contexts that don't have any relation to black slavery AT ALL.

How about we do something useful with our time instead of constantly looking for victim hood and racism where it doesn't exist? I guess I should be somewhat encouraged because the fact that people have the time to worry about which words might be offensive (or make things offensive that aren't) means they're doing pretty damn well. So well, in fact, that they don't actually have enough going on in their lives and are making problems where they don't exist. The massive con here though is that eventually if you tell enough people they're victims of a system and can't help themselves it'll eventually cause real societal harm.....
That’s because it’s about future earning potential for “growth stocks”, not current reality. The other car makers have reached a kind of equilibrium, while Tesla keeps putting out new products in a class they essentially invented.

That said, I also don’t own Tesla because I think it’s crazy overvalued.
For those not familiar with it, Phrack was teaching how to exploit buffer overflows back in 1996 [1]. This is still relevant today and required for some certifications in cyber security like the OSCP.

Never in tech have I seen conversation about Asian Americans been brought up. When I say, they're treated as white, it's more like they're treated "not a POC", which only leaves a designation of white. Except Asians don't get put in leadership positions as easily as white counterparts (bamboo ceiling). I've seen many times (online at least) where people have explicitly said Asians don't count as POC, despite facing a large brunt of racism.
This looks great! I've been using https://asoftmurmur.com/ because I like the "meander" feature which gives a randomness to the noise. Strangely I find "flat" noises (like a fan running at a constant speed) to be too distracting. Looks like mynoise has a similar feature called "slider animation" and lots more selection.

I think it's a shot at Ruby and Node- they have a lot of dependencies that rely on underlying C/C++ libraries so you can end up having to manage both. Things like that exist in Java (e.g. some OpenGL libraries) but they're relatively rare.
An audible 40Hz being produced by a hummingbird is (almost) inconceivable, they need to make that plain. The harmonic and familiar 'hum' is evident to all ears. But the article quotes (I'm still reading the additional papers) the figure of 40Hz, plus its harmonics and overtones, throughout - so no hummingbird flapped faster or slower?

And by availability of resources, such as energy.

From the industrial revolution we've being living in a time of effectively limitless energy and without having considered the consequences of tapping that energy. Fossil fuels, and other resources are running out - or we can at least see the end of them - and the consequences of their use are starting to bite hard. Realistically we're looking at a 2degC average global temperature rise this century, and the destruction of ecosystems due to that relatively rapid rise is going to be massive.

When the energy and resources, that we've used to support a consumption economy, grow more scarce that economy will no longer work. We won't be able to get ourselves out of low employment by just consuming more and so making more jobs.

>There will always be people that have a majority of wealth, however that's denoted

That may be true but we can narrow the spread of wealth by a very large factor; and morally we should do so.

As someone in my late twenties who started a little later than the people who went through CS in college w/ internships, etc., you can do it!

It takes a bunch of persistence - just keep chugging at applications and learning.

If you don't jibe well with the leetcode interviews (I certainly don't, I just don't do well and I think it has to do with my anxiety), aim for smaller companies or really just any that ends up having a laxer interview process. They do exist though!

I'm convinced the leetcode stuff selects for something largely orthogonal to ability. My major was practically the same as CS, if not harder in many ways (EE) - I can understand any of the concepts in their full math and theory, etc., I generally just don't have them at at my fingertips to perform on demand, aside from basics. This stuff belongs in books to be referenced as needed.

No, the analogy is perfectly apt. Electric vehicles are rapidly replacing gasoline vehicles. There is no oil to change in an electric car! Better languages have long since surpassed COBOL.

Proof is a Math thing. I'm comfortable with the weight of evidence from all the tests we devise for this purpose, combined with the fact we actively strive to show the consciousness of animals in a way we never did with slaves. You're free to disagree and consider it hubris, many animal rights activists do.

N.B. I don't believe we fully understand consciousness. Just that factory farm animal consciousness is categorically not at a human level.
Surprisingly usable, but I'm still holding out because one of the things I need (auto-type on KeepassXC) is still not available on Wayland. It's an active issue[1] and will hopefully be sorted soon. MOST of my workflow looks and works just fine on it though, which is very impressive.

Similar experience here. I was one of minority of die-hard Linux users until I had a hardware issue and just said f*ck it let me get a company provided mac. I had a super customized i3 setup but now on a 2020 mac I can get by just fine with the OS but the hardware is a ton better. My previous laptop was a higher end dell though not an XPS and the keyboard on this is 100x better imo and the trackpad is 1000x better. And MacOS is a bit more annoying in places but it-really-just-works and I don't think about it really.

I brew installed all the gnu core utilities so now I've got gcat and g-this and g-that. I use many workspaces and fullscreen apps usually with a terminal side-by-side and my productivity is better. I guess I discounted how much good hardware means to me.

Nature retracted a peer-reviewed paper last November after pressure from those with a particular political/ideological bent. You can read the details here and decide for yourself if their reasoning is valid for the retraction. Did not seem very valid to me personally, especially given they did not retract the authors' prior work using similar methods (but with a conclusion the aforementioned political actors would find most pleasing, rather than upsetting): https://retractionwatch.com/2020/12/21/nature-communications...

Completely agree with these points.

It's absolutely unreasonable and unrealistic to be an engineering manager and a technical lead. Management is a full-time job consumed mostly by minutia and bureaucracy (mandatory meetings and paperwork) so that the team doesn't have to deal with it.

I'd add:

6. Defend the team, especially pushback unreasonable, untenable changes from on high.

7. Peter principle: title doesn't assure greater competency. Don't micromanage experts. Seek their knowledge, opinions, be curious, and ask questions.

8. Go-giver and mentor. Always help staff grow their careers, confidence, and capabilities, wherever that takes them.

9. Be helpful to the team and its individuals without being annoying. Replace that crap printer that wastes everyone's time. Fix that door that maintenance ignores. Whatever it takes. Go above and beyond, especially when it's crunch time.
If it reduces the chance you have an asymptomatic case by 80%, and reduces the chance you have a symptomatic case by even more, then almost certainly the reduction in transmission is at least 80%, isn't it?

> but I started by saying that it does not confer sterilising immunity

But you were replying to a comment about reducing transmission. And when I kept talking about reducing transmission you said "limited" sometimes and acted like it was none other times.

80% would be more than enough...

> I'm still not sure why the obsession with transmissison, anyway.

Because stopping people from getting sick is much better than reducing how sick they get. And transmission is the only factor that actually stops the virus.
This gets posted every few months. I'm surprised to see that it's getting such a negative reaction this time.
This article does a great job of laying out the end-game of the global quantitative easing program. Today the following occurs

1) Central banks print currency to buy debt that no one wants to buy at negative interest rates.

2) Debt issuers (the government/corporations) increase debt issuance

3) Debt issuers purchase any hard assets available in the local currency at the fastest possible rate and earn profits off of the delta between asset inflation and the bond rates.

All western economies assets are being inflated, and all western economies bonds have negative interest rates. There is no alternative until.

4) Debt buyers convert printed dollars to RMB and purchase chinese debt.

5) Debt issuers convert borrowed dollars to RMB and purchase chinese debt

6) The Fed prints more money to meet it's market stability objectives

7) The dollar falls relative to RMB, triggering consumer price inflation on items of Chinese origin. Limiting the effectiveness of printing money.

My comment above only scratches the surface of Warhol. Some of his work would be classified more as paintings, some as happenings or installations, some as films.

95% of my time re: configuration is dealing with getting suspend/resume to work and not corrupt the desktop environment. Why has this been so damn broken on open source OSes?
