I think we're never going to reach an agreement so I'm cutting out.

The last thing I'll say is that there's a difference between this particular situation and historical resistances to oppression: If you were to even call this situation "oppression", it would only lead to further ridicule and ostracism, perhaps would even get most of the few people who might have sided with you to turn on you as well.

Like I said earlier; jumping on a grenade gets you a medal, the people who protested during rights movements are heroes. The ones you're calling now to self-sacrifice would very likely be considered "some more toxic males who finally got their just desserts".

Of course, I hope I'm wrong. In fact, I hope a better solution is found.

Location data isn't anonymous if you can follow the tracks of a single person throughout a week. Because where a person spends the majority of their time -- at work and at home -- are very personally identifiable. Then it doesn't matter if the dataset has "John Doe" or "<random id>" as the user identifier.

Don't believe "anonymous" data is shared like that? Look at what New York Times could do when purchasing one of these datasets.

Sounds to me very much like "I want to learn truths and relationships about natural language that are independent of any specific culture and history", i.e. independent of any particular language and concepts like alphabets and spelling. Such things exist (like Chomsky's generative grammar), but they are of limited use in learning any particular language.

Music theory without culture and history would have to leave out things like scales, chords, chord progressions, tuning systems (like our 12-tone equal temperament), etc., since they vary between cultures and over time. I'm not entirely sure what's left, maybe the harmonic series?

Sheet music is similar to math notation or written language, and simpler to learn than either of those. It's not the only possible notation, but it's widely used and more compact than say guitar tabs or a MIDI piano roll. If you can't read/write any notation at all you will be limited by how much you can memorize, writing things down is a time-honored tradition for rememering details for yourself as well as for sharing it with others.

So I would suggest that music students learn sheet music plus any other notation that's relevant to their instrument, for the same reason I would suggest that English learners learn to read and write despite English spelling being a crapton of inconsistencies; it gives a lot more options for a modest amount of extra effort.

Can you go through life without being able to read and write, sure. I just don't see why you would want to.
It's not just only stereotyping, it's just that there's real possibility. That would never happen with men. Women have the power to label you sexist, men don't.
I hadn't either. But I refer to the method as 'code isolation'.

It seems to me that a solution to this problem would be to have half the investors be women. Or get rid of PE entirely and come up with a different way to fund projects (think NSF).
I'd go spelunking in indie game dev forums and spaces. There are almost certainly artists looking for a little bit of side work.
There's clearly a bit of a chicken and egg problem here. I would say that the web revolution gained so much momentum because so many developers could easily get the best tools to learn and experiment with for free with zero barriers.

It's possible to imagine a world where few ever thought to push HTML/CSS/JS to their breaking point to get desktop-like functionality from a website, because developing for the Windows desktop was free and a nice experience.
I read an account that a group of guano miners in china caught it, and were quarantined, or something similar back around 2013 and the virus somehow made two evolutionary jumps at once.

I didn't downvote, as I think this adds to the conversation. But as a _systemic solution_, I don't think the "advice NDA" holds up.

As a one-off (or a personal "hack"), the NDA is an offering of empathy. Sharing sincere feedback is hard. Offering the NDA shows that the advice-asker is worried about the advice-giver's well-being. It's nice and genuine, and I hope it will work.

But, this idea seems so GOOD at first blush, that I'm afraid it will become widespread and lose sincerity. Anytime feedback is involved, the NDA appears as legal boilerplate. It's no longer a personal connection built on shared vulnerability. Instead, it's a corporate threat: "If you want advice, we can either be friends or go to court."
Ugh, it's a tough one. OOH, they're representing the company and not supposed to communicate to the public impulsively. OTOH, people have bad days.

This is probably my favorite post on this site, good one.
For example you can do a drop down menu in css. Then you have some new requirements that css alone can't do it.

Even a basic thing, could be impossible in css.

All your css logic goes to trash. Or you can keep css logic and make a mess of a software

If you have done it in js, you'd be able to reuse some code.
I use breakpoints when software supports it out of the box. Unfortunately, many third-party tools, IDE and Jupyter extensions in particular, are often of poor quality/WIP, are hard to use and can, at times, break my environment. For this reason, when a tool requires that I install additional packages, I am usually pretty reluctant to give it a try.

Curiously, even seemingly simple tools, like variable explorers, are usually implemented relatively poorly in most IDEs. I like JetBrains's implementation most, but it isn't without issues.

BTW, anybody has any recommendations for good and reliable, developer tool for Python and R?
The responsibility on one individual to change the world can be onerous. There needs to be viable alternatives, enforced by institutions, for correcting systemic issues.

Instruction scheduling rules in VLIW are for a slightly different reason than the MIPS BDS. VLIW is designed to expose the parallel instruction dispatch capabilities to the compiler in a way that doesn't require hardware to track dependencies between them. Fundamentally you're tracking register/data dependencies, though often there is a latency minimum the compiler is expected to enforce. But the rules there are present for correctness, not performance per se.

With MIPS, the problem being solved that the original 4-stage pipeline always had exactly one cycle of latency between the evaluation of a branch decision and the fetch of the next instruction. So by always executing the next instruction unconditionally they could sneak in exactly one extra instruction per branch. It was a 100% pure performance play, and actually fairly clever at the time. MIPS was frighteningly fast when it was released in ~1987, and this was one of the reasons why.

...until the second CPU. Once that pipeline gets longer, the branch prediction logic gets deeper, or instructions start being issued out of order, the whole thing just becomes an embarrassing wart. It was a great trick for exactly one CPU design, and never belonged in an ISA.

Agree. My thinking was... Hey it's art, somewhat functional, fun and much cheaper and more practical than many NFT's these days.

That said... I did feel a bit price gouged. There's not enough of a market to drive the price down. It's not really a consumer product and the company reached out and was somewhat surprised that I bought one.
It's an easy problem that doesn't really require a solution.

It doesn't really help with costs, so there's no hurry, and it's a political quagmire. So it just did not happen. (WIPP kind of happened, and is happening, but it's for non-commercial nuclear waste.)

"Reasonable" is the key word there. I think that one of the points in TFA is that the misconstruction doesn't need to reasonable to kill someone's career.
Sure.

But distilling an idea can take lots of time.
In the startup partner scenario, one want quick, honest feedback and start the discussion to refine the idea.

Even the hosting and download function of app stores is valuable. It replaces auto update frameworks embedded in the app and earlier download sites were all super suspicious and full of ads with fake download buttons.

Even Sourceforge started out good, then sold to someone who put adware in the downloads - although it's back to good now.
Same here. It costs me less than fifty cents a day to be able to use all the JetBrains IDEs and developer tools and get all their updates, both for my personal projects and for work.

I can only speak for myself, but to me, "no brainer" is an understatement.
You're not wrong, but the key insight is that one key technique for careful wording is "clamming up".

Personal example. A friend mentioned that a new hire at her work didn't have to go through as much interview training as her, and she was wondering if she should take offense. If she were a guy, I would have said something along the lines of "come on, 'amount of interview training' isn't a real status marker, you're getting worked up over nothing". But I strive to be an effective communicator, so I couldn't just bluntly refute her feelings like that; it'd sound like I'm denying the very real ways that women can be subtly mistreated in the workplace. Instead I clammed up, and she ended up deciding to file an HR complaint, which is unlikely to have a positive impact on her career.

Is there any way I could have told her what I thought without being misunderstood? Sure, maybe, if we'd had 30 minutes to sit down and talk about a bunch of abstract principles. Is there a strategy that would have fit inside the 30 seconds of conversation we had on the topic? I don't think so.
Just to use their most recent scandal, what about their claim that Richard Hopkins, a postal worker in Pennsylvania, was told to backdate a ballot postmark? After which the post office inspector general investigated and reported that Hopkins had denied that claim?

I'm guessing you'll claim that Project Veritas was truthfully reporting what Hopkins told them, and it's not their fault that he changed his story once he talked to law enforcement. Even though he also told the investigators that his initial affadavit was written by Project Veritas.
You might as well call me English too (I live in Wessex after all)!

What WP seems to have forgotten to mention is who actually used those terms. I'm prepared to be shot down but I doubt there was a properly defined concept of "Western European" between say 300 to 1500 in the right hand side bit of what we now call Europe.

What you are on about is the left and right Roman Empires (my terms) and how they talked about each other.

The left lot is now nominally modern Germany and France and much besides, what was called the Holy Roman Empire. The right lot is the Byzantine Empire.

Now, your Franks were part of the left lot. The Franks were a tribal identity, cf Saxon, Angle, etc. The Franks is where la belle France gets its name (cf Frankreich, and Französisch - German names for France and French.)

I am English (by assertion and routine) but my family name says I am descended from Germans on the male line (Brits being patrilineal.) As it turns out 300 odd years ago from a Hanoverian merchant seaman and (very) loosely on my matrilineal line 500 odd years ago I have a ancestor from Padstow in Cornwall. I also have inroads from all of the home nations (England, Ireland (both), Scotland and Wales). There are also quite a few other inputs to my blood line from much further abroad.

One of my uncles is quite fastidious in his research and has many thousands of people in the DB.
> found smoking-gun evidence showing the oil was spilled not by Chevron but by Ecuador's state-owned oil company

You provided the source in your comment here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26616258

I think you can let people decide the narrative for themselves. The stakes were high on both sides, along with the motivation to distort the outcome, but also this was a time long before PR-blowback was even a consideration by big oil. It seems foolish to think that Chevron put the resources into mitigating environmental damage in some poor country for their oil projects in the 70s/80s. They only factor this in now because of the PR and local political implications.

Maybe the moral of the story is - racist, sexist, -ist, or anything about a group of people: don't use absolute, stereotypical generalization language without cause as a public person and/or representing a company.
"What's in it for me? Right now? In the short term?" is not very civic posture.

The 'bigger the corp' the 'bigger the productivity gains' available to the team and customers. A 1% gain would probably be worthwhile though it's probably the purview of a director or CTO, that said, developers are part of the process.

Making little productivity gains here and there is literally how the world moves forward.

It's why we are wiping our rears with toilet paper and not seashells.

One of the commenters made the point that 'such tools are not always very useful' which is entirely reasonable, but to the extent they are, the math works.

In an adjacent area - we use Jira, which we all loathe, but it's considerably better than nothing for example, it does the job and it's worth 20x the meagre cost to us. Such is an example of productivity leverage. (And of course, it's not always the case that it works out so well)
The original subject that bothered you was the fact you were having a hard time recognizing whether something is being sexist or not. To which I suggested a solution and you seem to be dismissing it, namely, that it might help to avoid topics that have a negative psychological effect.

> they don't want to have to contemplate altering their own behavior in some way

This is mutually exclusive from the discussion we are having so I rather not engage in this topic. My original point stands regardless of whether you think there is rampant sexism: the way to cope with it is perhaps to avoid or at least stop seeking discussions about that subject. Much like the people suffering from PTSD shouldn't be exposed to things that make them remember the events that caused their PTSD. I am not saying you have PTSD or even that the problem is in any way shape or form with you or women, I am saying avoiding the discussion of such topics may be the best game-theocratical way of improving one's wellbeing.
I find myself very happily rereading Iain M Banks before '93 and Iain Banks before '86. Anything later causes me discomfort, disgust or boredom.

His earlier stuff is an impressive achievement for any author, and I don't begrudge him his long career (and am not going to argue with people who like it) but personally I found IB/IMB incredibly disappointing in his later career.
Agree completely. Whenever I see the phrase, "let that sink in," that's a signal for me to stop reading. They're just going to tell me to be angry.
That hell happens to be rich with all sorts of industrially useful chemicals. Seems like a decent reason to me.
I use to teach Alice to kids and I remember being confused why why line existed. No one ever used it and the teaching books did a poor job of highlighting its importance. It’s a very excellent idea and is done in modern languages like C#. The compiler is the syntax checker and can show unreachable code, bad access, etc.
Excession explicitly shows that being able to prove Contact/Special Circumstances membership was big in terms of social capital, even when you factored the rare people who cared about historical achievement of a given family line - this is used by SC to get someone to impersonate someone else, by essentially dangling the "carrot" of "being part of SC mission".

Of course, claiming SC membership falsely probably was quickly refuting just by someone asking the pervasive network for confirmation.
Canning is a preservation technique that is a part of making jam. But once you break the seal on the jar, the food in the jar is exposed to the air and won't last as long.

Regarding jam, I think it probably depends on the kind of jam. I usually get the stuff with whole strawberries that I spread with a spoon. I'm sure the typical American jelly will last a long time unrefrigerated, but that seems to be less common in my part of Canada.

There are mentions of small subgroups of Culture deciding to Sublime (mostly linked group minds).
I also think trust is the single biggest issue here.

The more you trust somebody the more leeway you will give them in how they can express themselves to you, because you expect them to be honest and you assume that they mean well. You are more willing to interpret ambiguity favorably. From experience this seems to be a rather universal phenomenon. I often determine how I should express myself to people based on how much I think they trust me, and this approach seems to work well enough.

It’s always interesting to read 2 news articles which seem to disagree on the key points. but maybe reading between the lines on the guardian article it’s that this lawyer did commit fraud, but the punishment has been disproportionately harsh.
I agree that the fraud that is the mainstream news media in the US today is not going anywhere, and it'll probably keep sinking lower. They made their decision a long time ago and will hold to it, they're not going to turn back now.

That said, I think there's an enormous demand for straight-forward news reporting with no opinionized, psycho partisan bullshit forced into it. CNN used to represent that in its early days for example, and they've gradually rotted away over decades.

I don't see why somebody doesn't build this, it's right there begging to be done.

Sign a deal with Reuters and a few other straight forward news gathering services, as the originating sources. Set up a Substack and a YouTube channel, and start reporting just the facts, with a couple of people on YouTube reporting the news from behind an anchor desk. Avoid the old media and their networks, publish as direct as possible. And if YouTube gets so bad with their creeping censorship that they start trying to ban reality, shift to self-hosting after you get initial momentum.

Anyone that can do that has my attention. It would be trivial to get started.

Not the poster, but I’ve used a similar strategy a handful of times - it’s been 50/50. Many people don’t really want a solution, they just want sympathy.

Which is long term self sabotage imo, but it is what it is.
So you don’t in fact treat everyone equally then based on race or gender.

The point I am making is not about whether you are racist though, it’s that saying that you treat all races equally is enough to be classed as racist, regardless of your actual behavior.
