I’ve spoken to multiple black Americans internally about this and they strongly associate “master” with slavery since members of their families where literally owned by people and had to call those people “master”.

Maybe it would matter to them less if the US had abolished slavery and made people of all color equal, but since we instead created racist policies that historically put non-whites at a disadvantage, I can see how they have a strong dislike for that word.
sold? flat? grey?

> really there are only so many variations on "flat rectangle with screen" you can do

Exactly, and of those variation only a subset are widely palatable. In other words solid, grey rectangles are kinda inevitable for what is essentially a consumer hand held computer display... It's like someone calling the concept of a loop a ripoff from C - no.
That's a nice fee structure, but honestly I don't care if Google and Apple increase the fee to 90% as long as there are alternative stores that can realistically compete against GPlay and the App Store.

That means no scary warnings and endless dialogs filled with FUD about malware and stealing personal data, or requiring non-technical users to understand and enable a checkbox hidden deep inside the settings app, or dedicating full-time teams of security researchers to finding and irresponsibly disclosing vulnerabilities in competing stores, among other things.

Because when there's competition, a fee structure like what the Microsoft Store has will naturally appear.
I'm not sure why that didn't immediately come to mind. Ubiquiti products used to use vyos, but now they are their own fork.
> Fixing racial bias in AI is not just a matter of infusing the training data with more melanin (for example), the AI Ethics crowd argues — the actual models are being developed by white guys, and their insular, white-guy priorities somehow surface as bias in the algorithms that go to work on the training data.

I recently created a natural language generation model(built with LSTM layers mostly) that was trained on east-asian zen books. Do you think that my result could have been better if I would've used an architecture not designed by white germans?

This idea seems is to me like anthropomorphizing model architecture for no real reason.

I do feel like there might be issues of ingrained bias in the model itself when using trained NLP embeddings or even some facial feature recognition algorithms that were tested on racially homogeneous groups.
You're arguing semantics, they are both forms of corruption.

In my view, "making the financial stake explicit and legal" and "[removing] it from the shadow area" won't prevent abuse, but would simply legitimise it. But at the end of the day, I think this boils down to whether you are a market fundamentalist, i.e. whether you have faith in the markets to solve all social and economic problems, or not.
It's that dumb and convoluted like Dylan16807 explained.
If you look at the price (not total return) history of your selected fund it has significant growth, about 20%, over the last ten years. Bond prices increase when the risk free rate (i.e. treasuries) decreases.

Over the last forty years treasury rates have been more or less steadily decreasing. The ten year treasury was paying over 15% in 1981 and now it’s paying a little over 1.5%.

What this means is that bond investors over that 40 year period have gotten juiced returns—-they got whatever the bonds were yielding plus price appreciation from falling interest rates.

This dynamic was in place for the adult lives of everyone under the age of 60 today. Our intuitions, rules of thumb, and understandings of how bonds contribute to a portfolio we’re all developed in the shadow of this phenomenon.

But now interest rates have nowhere left to fall. The zero bound forces an end to this dynamic.+ From now on not only will bond returns not be juiced they could well be reduced by the opposite effect. From 80 to 40 years ago interest rates more or less steadily increased over that period, causing bond prices to constantly be falling.

+ Negative nominal rates could extend it a few more years but the cash cost of carry is a hard bottom.

> you can always choose a different app

Not if the app stores have a rule that every such client has to ban the servers that the app store doesn't like.
While I'd usually agree, I'd say Wikipedia has a great opportunity to target ads without predatory data harvesting - they can simply be put on relevant pages. Maybe not as effective as user-level targeting, but probably still some decent opportunities there. And easy to have advertisers bid for space on more in-demand pages.
Eh? I did assume good faith. I checked if they were wanting a serious reply because it wasn't clear, then I explained how to do what they wanted to do, even though it was already in the article.
There is a difference between accruing technical debt on a legacy system is one thing, that is something that almost never can avoid. The other is to panic hire someone when the proverbial shit hits the fan is another story. That is the biggest dysfunction here that someone realized they didn't have the competence to maintain their COBOL code in house and it was their responsibility, but only after it stopped working.
You can even pair that down a little further if you use the built-in HttpServer that's been in the JDK since 1.6.

While I agree a company like Apple should do better in reporting errors like these I don't share your conclusion that's purely out of malice (and driven by profit) instead of ordinary incompetency (or lack of time, bad management etc). That's not meant in defense of Apple, but because I'm very anti-jumping to conclusions.

The iCloud activation lock is a theft prevention option that locks the phone to an iCloud account and will required activation after a factory reset. If you don't want to deal with Apple, don't set that option. If everyone in physical possession could override that it wouldn't be much of a lock at all...
Background: I'm white, my grandfather who is sadly no longer with us, was captured as a slave in the early 1940s forced to work on the Burma Railway, also known as "Death Railway". Content warning: if you Google Image Burma Railway, you're going to see things other than just the railway.

In all my years of pushing to and pulling from master branches, I have not once made an internal association between that action and slavery. Until now.

Offence is subjective of course and having never made this stretch of a link between a master branch and slavery, it is in no way and has never been personally offensive to me. People are different and I accept that others do take offence to this kind of language. But it is a stretch. It is a word that when taken out of context has other meanings.

If a company such as GitHub are saying that this is wrong and must be changed, my question is why now? Why not 2 years ago or 5 years ago? Is it something that wasn't considered offensive and now is? There is so much outrage about this particular subject which doesn't actually solve any real problems. There are of course real issues that we need to get on top of. Contemporary slavery for example. Slavery is still massively at large in many places of the world including and especially the U.S.A. Just because it's gone underground it does not mean that it doesn't exist. We need to do something about it.

This name change only seems to be creating more separation between us all when the world needs us to come together as one to solve the real problems, of which there are many.
But how are we supposed to access everyone else's experiences in a reliable way if not through the media?
The ideas and narratives put forth by Bridgewater/Dalio over the past 1-3 years are permeating markets and shaping investor sentiment more than you think. Both retail and institutional.
So are we still for changing

to

Or are we scrapping that one also due to the underrepresentation of PoC in tech and the statistical small sample of 3 guys (and they are probably guys) out of 250 people not being enough to make a policy?

If you ask me, the problem with underrepresentation is all upstream. Whether it’s women in tech, or Black people in classical music etc. the solution isn’t to remove the audition screen and do affirmative action downstream. The idea is to fix it upstream.

Also with many other things such as non biodegradeable plastic. Why are our “solutions” involving a massive change to all the individual people not to use straws or plastic bags when this has a tiny effect on the result, while disrupting many people’s lives? Instead, it takes pressure off from the real solution: pressuring the Capitalist corporations to switch from non biodegradeable plastic to something sustaiable, by taxing the negative externalities and internalizing the costs TO THEM instead of offloading them to the consumer.

We have to practice upstream thinking and not be afraid to speak openly about the SOURCE of all that plastic. If you want more Carribbean musicians for example, consider your immigration and visa policy. If you want less plastic, ask why companies switched from glass bottles. I’d rather have a directed policy upstream than trying to use tons of bandaids downstream.
I would argue pretty strongly that if you are not a natural leader, the road to development of leadership is paved by domain knowledge which lets you get respect “for free” to leverage to ratchet up those skills. So I’ll adjust what I said to mean you are racing against your engineering skill atrophy to develop those leadership skills. Once you can’t code anymore, it gets a lot harder to do so.

Hate speech exists as a concept, but it's entirely subjective.

Hate speech can be defined as anything that those in power choose they want to suppress, which means in practice its really just censorship.

Besides which, it's counter productive.
I definitely had my ass bit by Django migrations on deployment when I had cases like A->B->C (must be ran in order) but ran A->C through makemigrations, because I skipped the commit that is used to generate B.

I did catch it only because I expected I would run into this problem, but yeah, easy to shoot yourself in the foot when you expect it to be 100% magic!
I get this concern, but the hate speech bit is not BS. People using platforms to plan insurrections or other violence are not gonna be protected, whether by private companies or the government.
This is important. With a busy family life, you will never find 4-8 hours regularly to sit down and study solidly.

What you're quite likely to have is half an hour every day, and if you do some study for a short amount of time daily, the hours will very quickly add up

Not even our criminal laws are consistently enforced in the US. I have no faith that this would be any different, and think it would just end up as another tool for systemic oppression.
Don't you know being color-blind isn't ok, because you're not validating POC's struggles.

What arm 64 box do you use? RPi4? I'm interested in having my own NAS but I want it to be seamless as possible, and I'm not sure if a raspberry pi would achieve that. That being said, I also don't want to spend too much lol... Perhaps I'm asking for much here
"If it falls as the supply increases there will be no inflation." Agreed. This is tautological. The fall of velocity is price deflation. Increase in velocity is price inflation. It doesn't matter if the currency supply is increasing or decreasing.

However the well established hyperinflation trend is the money supply is increased as the velocity is falling until the point where confidence in the currency collapses. Then the velocity spikes and the value of the currency goes to zero.

So we know exactly where we are. We are currently in the deflationary period that precedes all hyperinflation. And we know it will be hyperinflationary because of the amount of money being printed and the lack of economic growth.

If the money supply had increased 5% in the past year then I wouldn't say we're about to have hyperinflation. But the M0 money supply increased from 3T to 5T in about a year. No system, no matter what it is can sustain that level of growth. All exponential growth is short lived.
Hey, just to follow up on this: we shipped RSS for Papers.

Obvious is not a word I'd use here. At least in the US, we're driving a lot of change. Personally, I think a lot of the change is for the better... but censorship... well, Censorship is a disease. Bad ideas are a disease. Trying to cure bad ideas with censorship is kind of like trading cancer for congestive heart failure. Historically, censorship really hasn't led to great outcomes. Bad ideas? Usually good ideas end up winning. It just takes time.
That's how Git already works, eg. over SSH or even HTTP.

Simple git server over SSH:

local> ssh example.com
example.com> git init --bare code
example.com> exit
local> git clone example.com:code

Nothing required on the remote side other than an SSH server. Works with multiple users, too - just use SSH auth.
Of course it doesn't make money - it's free. It doesn't have ads either.
This! Virtue signaling is worthless, but it does keep ideas fresh in people's minds when you experience it and that isn't worthless.
you can read up on the --bare option but you can point git to a remote location such as a network drive or even a local folder (I don't recommend this of course) but my point is there is no hard restriction within git as to where it is hosted.

A long time ago when I was working in a company that still prescribed SVN, I used a backed up network drive location as the location for my git bare repos, I just used it to manage prototypes or feasibility work nothing serious but it was more familiar and productivity for me than the accepted SVN workflow.
Or maybe I released it as free software.
hol' up
I get asked about meditation every now and then from friends and their friends. Here's what I tell them:

- Meditation is not a spa treatment for the mind. Certainly not in the short-term. I'm sure there are many meditation-like activities that will bring you more immediate "calming" effects. But those aren't meditation.

- First time(s) you sit, one of your first realizations - through experience - will likely be around the impossibility of "stopping thinking." You might get into a wrestling match with your own mind. If I can't stop my own thoughts, then they aren't actually mine, right? Whose are they, then?

- This might even lead to the realization that "these thoughts aren't mine, and my life has been my thoughts, so...who the fuck am I?!!!!"

- I can't fathom a regular meditation practice that is wholly independent from any sort of intellectual study (for many, that is some version of Buddhism).

- Meditation (time on the cushion) is just a teeny tiny sliver of the entire pie. Life (off the cushion) is where the real training is.

- Awareness is not happy, it is not fun, it is not calm, it is not exciting, it is not an emotional feeling. Awareness is just awareness.

This is merely scratching the surface. But the first point is crucial. Meditation isn't some once-in-a-while activity that you do to "feel better." That's something else.
It’s almost like if progress isn’t happening in the one particular area you care about, it isn’t really happening at all?

That's not actually better, as long as interest rates keep falling. If you're holding 30-year bonds at zero interest, and the 30-yr rates go to -1%, then you get a capital gain of 35%. If rates go from -1% to -2%, that's a 40% capital gain.

https://portfoliocharts.com/2019/05/27/high-profits-at-low-r...

Of course the reverse is true as well. If rates go up, you get equivalent capital losses. (You can avoid taking the loss by holding to maturity, but you'll have the same result as if you sold your low-interest bond, taking the loss, and invested your remaining money in a new higher-interest bond that matures at the same time.)

In this case, master is derived from a master/slave concept in BitKeeper, so it falls into your second category.

> "Wokeism" (and the even more made-up "cancel culture") is the new War on Christmas.

Saying that woke excess is "made-up" and "hysteria" is gaslighting. Coca Cola ran a diversity training encouraging employees to "be less white": https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-why-co.... The Smithsonian has a whole page on "whiteness" treating it like it's a bad thing. If you work a college degree-required job, you've probably had an employer recommend you read something by Robin Di Angelo, who claims she "tries to be a little less white every day."

I've never met anyone who got offended when I said "Merry Christmas." I've repeatedly run into instances of woke excess over the past year. The faculty at my law school declared themselves "gatekeepers of white supremacy" on a Zoom call: https://freebeacon.com/campus/northwestern-law-administrator.... (The interim dean, who declared himself a "racist," is a friend of mine, and I was shocked to read about his behavior.) Even the whole Dr. Seuss thing--"Mulberry Street," which was cancelled, is one of my daughter's favorite books. I bought it for her a couple of years ago new at a Barnes and Noble in Annapolis. It's not some obscure relic of history.

I think it's tremendously disingenuous to deny that this phenomenon has crossed the line from "manufactured outrage" into "real concern."
> They host the files and pay for the traffic

That's BS because they don't give you the option to host it yourself and avoid the fee, plus it costs them nearly nothing. $30 million/year dollars might seem like a lot until you realize Apple makes over $70 BILLION/year from app store revenues alone.

Also, what traffic? Organic traffic on app stores has always been terrible. In most cases, you can't even find an app by searching for it directly unless it's well-known like Netflix or Amazon. Even developers who have been "featured" over the years have reported a huge spike in traffic followed by an immediate fall-off and return to the same traffic numbers before the feature.
Short answer: nope. As you identified everything is so tied to the models you aren’t left with much that makes Django worth using.

I think there are old discussions on the Django core dev mailing list about supporting alternative ORMs like the template engines in a pluggable fashion but it would be so much work.

I’ve actually been quite happy with the Django ORM and I’ve dropped out of it to do raw SQL when I’ve needed Postgres features that weren’t supported.
The left believes anyone who doesn't have xir/xim pronouns and marches at BLM rallies is far right and racist.
Disagree. VW and Tesla have been doing EV for almost as long or longer. And since then have made far, far more investment into it then Nissan.

Just doing basically 1 car not updating it much and then not doing anything for many years while losing many billions at same time, is literally the exact opposite of being in a great position.

The Ariya is their first car after a long time and based on all the reviews I have seen it has not blown anybodies mind.

Overall Nissan volume are small and they are nowhere near as deep in terms of battery supply chain as Tesla or VW.

> Why in the world would you own bonds?

Because when every corp/muni bond folds - government issued bonds do not(and never have). Also, because they skyrocket in value during government-to-government conflict. Military action? 150% bond prices. It's a low risk instrument that turns into a winning lottery ticket for events such as.. North Korea launching a ballistic missile ~2 years ago, Donald Trump being accused of Russian collusion 3 years ago, and every military conflict ever.

Note, I'm not saying "govt bonds are great! buy them!"...I'm saying there are very old and valid reasons to own bonds of the government-backed variety.
> because much of the USA has a stunningly bad system of using property taxes to pay for schools.

This might have been true once upon a time, but pushes in State and Federal funding over the last couple of decades have mostly filled in the gaps. Take a careful look at district funding per-pupil in your state and you might be surprised. While there certainly are differences, they are nowhere near as large as they were in the past.
The ‘myth’ of the wage gap is that it’s an aggregate number. It is sometimes/often presented as women make 73% of the wages of men for doing the same work.
It isn’t true for the same work though. When you do apples to apples comparisons of equivalent positions the gap frequently closes to almost nothing.

The wage gap is better phrased as ‘women, on average, do jobs that pay only 73% as much as men’. Which, in my opinion, is actually a far worse and harder to solve problem. Paying women the same as their male counterparts is easy. That’s why there isn’t really much of a gap in same profession comparisons. Getting women into more lucrative careers or getting Society to pay more for traditionally women dominated industries is much much harder.

To your question: The wage gap ‘myth’ is the misinterpretation of the statistic to say that women are paid much less for the same work.
Perhaps I've fallen victim to a regional language difference but even with the most generous interpretation I could manage, the addition of "mate" on the end of your comment left me with the impression that you were being (mildly) aggressive.
