You just showed the problem: Mixing completely different things and pretending it's the same. The parent comment and the parent-parent and the submitted text all talked about something, you come up with something else.

> look at all the discussions of how they name certain sauces,schnitzels and deserts

Okay I do - and that is exactly the useless actions that the submitted text and this discussion is about. For some reason you just ignore all that was said and just repeat those exact criticized points as if nothing happened.

May be you should try Quarkus, its hot reloading is slick. Even with a large code base, I could just do change->save->refresh cycle (about a second).
Nope, the answer is exactly what’s above, this is a large and old project with a fair amount of churn. There are assets in there but they’re a small minority of the issue.

The biggest issue is actually the l10n stuff. It’s all text with lines but there is a lot of it and historically the exports were not really ordered so every major update to the translation files scrambled everything.
This is how the world works. If you don't fight back sometimes these things will continue to happen.

Of course there is a balance – too much fighting back and the cure becomes worse than the initial problem.
But it will be dominant if it's the only strain capable of spreading within a population immune against other strains, no?
They're not supposed to care about minorities. If they actually made a positive difference- say, lowered the births out of wedlock/divorce rate among black US parents, thereby causing a slew of knock-on effects- if they actually solved the problems they complained about, they'd be out of a job. They're supposed to put on a good performance of caring and wanting to fix things, then make things worse. The best way for a foot soldier to do this is to fervently believe in the cause, and be swept up in the ideology that causes them to be incompetent and solving problems. Most people, of course, are just lying so they don't get fired.
The number of cases or deaths are conditional on the cases in the general population, it’s not an absolute number. The cases for AZ - 7 cerebral vein thombrosis in 1.6M vaccinations - which is higher than in general population. AZ will get back on the market with a restricted use or a warning label.
> “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”

Crazy idea: if companies that do virtue signaling on inclusivity were paying their taxes, decent schools could be funded and we would not have so many of those issues.

But instead, those companies are actively lobbying to avoid any taxes, and as a result, poor kids will never have any chance of getting a decent education:

* The IRS Decided to Get Tough Against Microsoft. Microsoft Got Tougher.
https://www.propublica.org/article/the-irs-decided-to-get-to...

* Facebook, Google and Microsoft 'avoiding $3bn in tax in poorer nations'
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-54691572

I am baffled by the naivety of people in our IT industry who swallow the hypocrite "inclusivity" discourse of those big tech giants. They don't care about inclusivity, they only care about money folks.
I'm generally not in favor of these changes. Blacklist/whitelist I can kind of see, but then again, why make it about skin color? It's natural that we'd have a connotation of bright things being good and dark things being bad (as in, our surroundings), because we like being able to see.

Any resemblance to words used to describe skin color is coincidental, I think.
If someone decided they don't care about bias in the tech sector because the default git branch name was changed, they weren't going to and didn't care to start with.
Our goal shouldn’t be to have jobs but rather no one having to go to work at all. That’s the age of abundance that is possible through AI and robotics at some point. Our goal should be 100% unemployment for humans. We should be focusing on art, outdoors and other creative pursuits.

Future generations will be surprised we lived so that we can have “job”.
It's not for helping minorities. It's for helping the PMC stay on top, by making rules that only people who grew up in the right class and went to the right schools will be able to follow, cloaking that function in a nominal reason for those rules that's unimpeachable. And it does that very well.
I hadn't thought of it that way, but you are right.
I believe the main point of the person you're replying to is that it's a relatively small, vocal minority of people on Twitter who care about this stuff, and the media snowballs it into a big ugly controversy for clicks. As far as I know, this is true also of the following examples of "the right" "cancelling" stuff:

* Colin Kaepernick and kneelgate

* calls to boycott Starbucks for celebrating an inclusive holiday season, rather than Christmas in particular

* republican voters "cancelling" Mitt Romney and other republicans for being vocally anti-Trump, even though their political principles have not changed

I can think of at least one more serious example that goes beyond just a vocal minority: The long, ongoing fight to teach children about LGBTQ issues in public schools. Teachers can be fired for simply revealing to their students that they have a same-sex partner.

Not long ago, too, was it career-ending for a Hollywood actor to come out publicly as LGBTQ. Ellen comes to mind as an example.

$4000 a KW does sound expensive for renewables but it doesn't say how much of the $4.7 billion was spent to build 1.2gw so you can't really tell anything.
My point is that you do not need to follow github's suggestion and rename your branch to "main". It seems to me that github's "change" is only a suggestion in their instructions to create a new repository. They do not rename your branches nor force a name to you. You get to chose the name of your branches, and the default name for the git program is still "master".
Strong side effects are usually not consistent between shots. You might have a strong reaction to the first one and none to the second (which is what everyone I know experienced).

I had a CureVac trial shot recently and was quite a bit knocked out, but we will see if my second one hits me as hard; I was told that it's rare.
I've seen a few threads like this in the last few days. From where I'm standing, it seems to be a US-only issue.

Can anyone please confirm that in a country that does not allow porting numbers without a code being sent to said number, and does not allow interceptions of the type described in the article, that using SMS for MFA is, in fact, secure?
Can every improvement in deep-fake detection be incorporated into the discriminator step of the deep-fake generator?
It's because I detest virtue signalling. I especially detest companies virtue signalling solely for the sake of appeasing the woke mob, a minority of people, in a transparent attempt to show how "anti-racist" they are.
Is that your personal opinion? Research seems to disagree. Citations in the previous link.
Seeing this gave me the warm fuzzies. Finally some push back against the pointless posturing that makes people feel good about themselves while helping no one.

This made it to the top of HN. I'm filled with hope.
Wikipedia already has enough money and gets more every year... And all the real work that people actually appreciate is done for free by volunteers. I always felt their donation drives were very deceitful since the money is not actually going to supporting the wiki (that's already funded) but is being used to increase the foundation's bureaucracy and endowment. The messaging they use doesn't make this at all clear.
I would say gRPC is fine as long as you don’t have the following:

1) work on a team where people will make assumptions about how gRPC works because they will be wrong, for example see the article, but more generally it can be quite obtuse.

2) want to be able to easily debug over the wire information

3) expect there to be a wealth of stack overflow knowledge to be able to debug weird incompatibilities between go and JavaScript implementations

4) schema that you expect to rapidly change over time and/or versioning of said schema to avoid strange results. It’s extremely difficult to track these changes on a large codebase.
Within the city limits in a nice-ish neighborhood 1000 EUR per month. I've been living at a 1200 EUR/mo 2br in a hipster neighborhood for the past year and a half here.

If you go to neighborhoods where the locals live or outside the city limits you'll see the price drop considerably. A friend is living one hour away from here and paying 600 EUR for a nice house that's four times the size of my apartment.
If they removed the word "threesomes" and "kinky" it would pass review first time.

Threesomes especially have become too linked to pornography.
It's all about symbolic actions.

In principle, symbolic actions are meant to show the intention. (E.g. pointing to an object instead of grabbing it.) In many cases, it is impossible to act quickly, or at all, yet - someone wants to point to the direction where they head.

In practice, everywhere when PR is involved (by people, companies, or government), symbolic actions are usually used instead of actual actions. They are orders of magnitude cheaper and offer an easy way to fool people with a false sense of care and engagement.
Yeah, it would make much more sense to replace 'decided' with 'forced'
> Do you know a lot of "woke" people who aren't otherwise on the left? I don't.

I'm in the UK so maybe it is different, but lately "woke" is anyone that is seen as an enemy of the far right. Including those who are on the right of the spectrum, but just not as far as those throwing the "woke" label around.
Because they don't have jobs any more, and can no longer afford to pay for the robot labour.
I was expecting the article to list some technical problems coming from switching `remote/master` to `remote/main`. There aren't any, and reading this article took more time than trying to remember which one to use for this project.

Is there a name for anti-political correctness, where people go into long rants about how changes that have zero effect in their lives are a sign of the collapse of society? They are pretty popular in social media and specially on this site.
I haven't really written any Perl in probably 15 years now and I mostly avoid it if I can. But put yourself in my shoes back in 1996 or so as a student. Didn't own a computer of my own but had access to random computer labs on campus and an account on the university unix box that I could telnet to. My options for programming were to try to get a spot in the one computer lab that had Java and C++ compilers (and carry around a stack of floppy disks with code I was working on). Those were always booked solid and not open at odd hours (I was a Physics major, not necessarily taking a CS class that would grant me priority access). Or, I could find any any Mac or PC in any computer lab, including the 24/7 library ones, telnet in, and write real, useful programs in Perl. The Perl man pages were available right there (and extremely well written), everything was stored on the server, the Perl standard library was pretty comprehensive compared to what was included with most other environments at the time, and my editing environment (pico at first, then vi and emacs as I learned) was consistent no matter what computer I was on. As much as I wouldn't chose Perl for a project in 2021, it was really a game changer for me in 1996 and I'm not even sure if I would've transitioned from Physics to programming if it weren't for Perl.
Should we also stop dressing in black for funerals? Should we stop referring to Black Friday (in Christianity, a day of mourning)? Should we start protesting when Death is represented as dressed in black?

Also, what do blind auditions/interviews (a real change that would make sense in the Software industry as well) have to do with language policing?
I dont agree, personally.

I believe that putting everything online is not sustainable. It might be very difficult to believe for people who earn so much that they can afford 24/7 stable and fast internet anywhere they go, but there are places where even good old broadband dsl is unstable, in the west.

The reasoning of "appstore bad -> lets not use any appstores" is flawed. There are "appstores" like the ones on FOSS systems like linux (discover on Arch/Manjaro comes to mind), which show that you can make an appstore yourself.

All we need is to build a cross platform, community managed app store, which allows foss and non-foss apps, with a payment system. Thats the solution, not "make it a webapp".
hi, for anyone looking for something to vicariously offended about, this is a racially insensitive comment to be offended by, colloquially (but not academically) called a "racist" comment.

this person is referring to a dichotomy in the black American slave caste, where people that worked in the fields were considered different than people that worked inside the house. the adjectives being "house negro/n**r".

It is used to invalidate the opinions of someone proclaimed as "black" that doesn't have consensus with a community that is pretending to be amorphous.

There have always been black Americans privileged enough to choose causes like any other American, while being lumped into the identity politics from all factions of the country. Even Martin Luther King's letter from Birmingham Jail (1953) references this.

I don't speak for anyone, and I am aware of black American people in my life that did bring up the "master/slave" terminology in computing as problematic and offputting and insensitive. The people in my life are of an older generation than me. The github issue, as this article points out, does not have a "slave" context only a master. To some that doesn't make a difference.

I am speaking for myself and like I said I agree with what the person in London wrote.
I guess he meant the ip address
The English word “master” comes from the Latin “magister,” which is freighted with thousands of years of meanings and history. The meaning of slaveowner was not one of those meanings until probably the seventeenth or eighteenth century. In Latin, “magister,” never meant the master of slaves (a “herus” most properly, or a “dominus,” an owner of anything with legal title to that thing). Instead, the “magister” was a leader of a group: the “magister equitum” was a cavalry commander, and a “ludi magister” a schoolmaster or classroom teacher. It is from the latter that we have “master” in the sense of an MA (magister artium) degree, which, like the PhD, was originally a teaching license. The use of the English “master” to refer to slavery is comparatively recent and might well not predate the eighteenth century.
I imagine what they're getting at is, you do a BGP hijack so that you get all the DNS queries about domain.example. So when a resolver asks about something.domain.example it gets told to ask servers authoritative for domain.example and it is given the IP addresses for some of those servers, but a BGP hijack could (if successful) allow you to answer for those IP addresses instead.

At this point you can give any answers you like for such queries.

If the domain has DNSSEC, you either have to choose answers you've seen that may be misleading (e.g. old but still not expired answers) or some resolvers might notice your answers are bogus.

Many domains today don't have DNSSEC, so, you could give any answer and it will be indistinguishable from an answer by the legitimate authoritative DNS servers. Nobody would know any different.

Now that you can cause traffic to go wherever you want, you can easily satisfy most of the Ten Blessed Methods and get yourself certificates in the Web PKI ("SSL Certificates") or whatever else you needed to achieve.

In the distant future sometimes it may be possible that a recursive is able to assure itself that the answer is genuine via DPRIVE [DNS over HTTPS, or TLS, or QUIC or whatever else is invented] instead but in practice most of the routes by which we could get genuine answers ultimately rely on DNSSEC (DPRIVE is still doing something useful for you - privacy benefits, particularly oblivious transfer could mean you get trustworthy answers with a promise that your honest broker doesn't know what you asked, and the authoritative servers know what was asked but not who asked it)
About 'parent bedroom', a lot of houses are occupied by house-sharers these days. Some sharers get the 'parent bedroom', others get the non-parent bedroom but they are all the same age. It makes some sense to change the description.
I don't think anyone is arguing that it's always a bad metaphor, just that it's an unnecessarily violent one.
As far as I know, most of the changes happening at large companies regarding this have been driven internally primarily by people of color - at MSFT, which owns GitHub, some of these changes were being driven by Employee Resource Groups (affinity groups) which are made up of those who would be affected by the language, for example
The main moral of this story is that people like to claim hindsight for some sort of psychic power.

What’s the process to decide (1) Energy usage of applications and (2) How to prioritize ban on applications which exceed a certain threshold?
I disagree. "Master" is a pre-existing term closer to the actual meaning of that branch in a repository the way most developers work.

Cambridge https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/maste...: an original version of something from which copies can be made

Merriam Webster https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/master:

being a device or mechanism that controls the operation of another mechanism or that establishes a standard (such as a dimension or weight)

being or relating to a master from which duplicates are made

In the realm of version control, the master branch tends to have special conceptual status as the branch you fork from and merge back to. It's not "main" like the main room of your house or main street in your city, it's the canonical branch which others are understood in relation to. It has nothing to do with slavery and renaming it to "main" obscures and confuses what was being communicated with the original name.
> the American “left”

I like that you quote it there.

I don't understand why aren't there more real left (no quotes) organizations or parties gaining traction in the US. It seems as if it should have happened "naturally" one or two generations ago.
I'm assuming you're a non-native speaker? The definite article "the" indicates that I'm talking specifically about voice recognition technology.
Of course other areas have improved peoples' lives in meaningful ways, such as C++11 and video streaming (although I'd argue Zoom is worse than the telephone in almost every instance it's deployed).
True but you have outfits like LabGenius using exponential tech and ideas to go around that, which we’ll start to see the fruits of in the 2030s: https://labgeni.us/

I dislike this name change for almost the same reason. I switch back to master on every new project.
I fight against this useless political correctness with my own, albeit invisible, rebellion:

I've set repository default branch to `master` [1] on Github.

I've created init.templateDir with HEAD set to `master` [2]

That way, whenever I init a new repo, either locally or via Github, the default branch is master, not main.

> The German way is to pretend racism just doesn't exist

I don't know if and where you've been to Germany, but having went to school there entire years of our history class were dedicated to the Nazis.
Existing projects are impacted by a changed default for new repositories how?
That is always the problem with this fight, yes. In a sense it's a meta-GAN, with other teams building better discriminators that can then be used to further train the generator. This works 'out of the box' if the discriminator is differentiable, but even if that's not the case you could use Reinforcement Learning to achieve the same, I suppose. If you have the man power, you could even train humans to spot deepfakes and then use them as discriminators to improve the fakes in turn... yay!

Be vary once reCAPTCHA asks you to 'spot the fake'.
> Not directly no. But they enforce the unconscious belief that "black == bad" and "white == good". Read up a bit on unconscious/implicit bias [0]. There was an online test floating around that measured your response rate to a white face or a black face and those results were eye-opening.

This is a pretty huge jump in reasoning. These things have nothing to do with each other. You might as well be saying "red means stop and green means go, so subconsciously people hate Native Americans". Which is nonsense for many reasons.

Perhaps principally that people can discern racial features from faces without using colors at all.
Think pendulums reacting to their perceptions of each other, maybe.

I work with a Canadian team but American parent company. We see what they are going through and it is definitely different. I think our version of equality is just working together as peers and respecting each other, there is no performative or ablutionary aspect.

For the record, I think parent co. is genuine and seems very diverse too. Views are my own yada yada.
But in some contexts black is bad and white is good. Would you rather move into the light or into the darkness? It's in our genes to prefer the more well light areas much of the time and this is a valuable survival instinct.

Not everything is about skin color.
You forgot to mention WWII.

I think fighting against racism and sexism is a good fight, and absolutely worth fighting for.

With that said - those are quite low-hanging fruits, if someone wants to engage in virtue signaling. And many companies do.

I also think that classism is an equally big problem in certain "elite" sectors. The diversity there is good, but most of the people - diverse in race or gender - still hail from the same socio-economic groups.
In your opinion, how can the Wikipedia goal of separating commercial and other users be managed?
"I'm in the USA. I think only in Germany are people so full of themselves that they over-generalize entire nations with their own ignorant assumptions."

That would be a rather rude, dare I say hateful thing for me to say, wouldn't it? In reality, I really enjoyed all the places in Germany I've visited, and most of my interactions with German folk that I've interacted with socially and professionally over the years. I especially enjoyed taking a technical and engineering German language course, so I can appreciate words like "Kaftfahrzeug-Haftpflichtversicherung" and "benzinbetriebenes Motorsystem". I wouldn't think to make such a comment about the German people, like you did about people in the USA.
