"No, I won't play golf, it's playing marbles for people who don't want to bend down." - Youp van het Hek

Jokes aside, it's because it is a way to signal that you are part of the in-group by sharing in a particular activity. And what better way than to make that the kind of activity that implicitly shows off your privilege? Golf involves a large amount of grass fields set aside and maintained just for you and your friends that can't be used for anything else, and spending time on it means you can afford to not use your time on something more productive. It's gatekeeping by its very nature. It's showing off how rich you are by being wasteful with two of the most precious resources available (I think there's even a name for this in the context of evolutionary biology).

Having said that, I won't deny that it can be enjoyable in the same sense that going for a walk can be enjoyable. Going on (the equivalent of) a walk, together or alone, is a healthy thing to do. But as a social activity those other factors also play a role.

"Anglo-Saxons at worst" you mean; they have been extinct since the 11th century. I don't understand this right-wing dogwhistle to be honest. It doesn't apply to anyone in Europe or the UK because of its diverse peoples. And ironically, they were immigrants coming from mainland Europe.
> A little side note: Many amateur races don't have photo finish equipment. In my race days sometimes not even a camera, and 3 race officials would stand on a little platform above the finish line with voice recorders just calling out jersey numbers and then get together in a room for 20 minutes to compare recordings and compile the final result. Draws were much more common back then.

Interestingly, technology makes this trivial these days:

Pop a cheap Android phone on a tripod, and with the right software (or even just taking a video), you have a decent approximation of photo finish equipment.

(I say 'trivial', because a smartphones with the required capabilities are basically free, if you take an old, used one.)
The key here is "at runtime".
But that's entirely your choice. If you like it, fine.

While WFH you could also seek out things to work on and go at it.

Both are true working from the office as well.
The latest manifestation of this absurdity is that things like "rational thinking" and "following schedules" are now considered "white culture" and thus it's racist to expect black people to think rationally or show up on time:

We in the west have a romantic and cavalier attitude towards the cold war but we are forgetting that the planet was brought to the brink of complete nuclear destruction several times and millions were killed in proxy wars (Korea, Vietnam etc.).
second that.

today I'm no longer integrated into the workflow of a "modern dev team" but the last time I was they forced us to communicate on Slack. If I'd have to work in such a distraction-tread-mill I'd be one very unhappy camper. It's not that Slack alone is terrible but how orgs these days expect devs to use it. Some companies I've been at they made their teams announce in the main channel whenever somebody went for a break or when they got back. That's fun with 3 people but god forbid you're working with bigger groups and end up forgetting to enter that you've gone for a dump. I first thought it was only one place that has jumped the shark on common sense, but no, it's every other company since 2016 that thinks it's a great way to communicate.

I assume the finish line should correspond to the scaffolding above the road that sports "Finish". https://www.tglyn.ch/blog/images/amstel_photofinish_camera_p...

The computation by the author of the article indeed confirms this: https://www.tglyn.ch/blog/images/amstel_approx_line.png

My point is that it is the painted line that was not correctly placed rather than the camera.
> it doesn't make sense to say email search sucks.

Yes it does, because in almost every case it sucks :) The only one where it doesn't is where it's all indexed by Google (the bad option) or where you index it all locally (e.g. with mu). The second is a slightly less bad option but not by much.
But what's different? Before, it was:

Because it's distant enough from our own stuff that we're just used to. It's a sense of wonder we don't get from "our own" stuff because we're used to it, or we take it for granted, or it's not done by a retiree in his hundreds year old workshop.

But it's a matter of perspective, and of course what content farm sites will highlight.

Please read “Human Kind: A Hopeful History” by Rutger Bregman. Excellent book that may cure your negative view of your fellow humans. I for one get motivated by collaboration.
This empty article is very short on details.

"People who hold certain, commonplace views, stay silent believing that expressing those views will carry penalty not reward."

Certain _commonplace_ views, hmm? A lot of abhorrent beliefs about race and gender are commonplace - that doesn't make them acceptable.

"And yet, despite winning a landslide victory in 2019’s General Election, British Conservative voters are nine points more reticent to say what they believe than Labour voters. Why does the larger group fear judgement more than the smaller group?"

Could it be that in this _self-reported_ survey, one group would like to portray themselves as an embattled minority, when in fact they've been in complete control of the country for most of the last decade, and have made a series of appallingly bad decisions based on their "commonplace" but wildly false "views", decisions which have devastated the economy, with even worse yet to come?

Could it be - and I'm only spitballing here - that a lot of truly repugnant or even false beliefs are no longer acceptable in the workplace?
I've just received an email asking me for more for a work permit application to work in the netherlands in a few months. More cost, more expense, less agility.

This is a direct result of retired people voting to leave the UK.

Politics matters, and votes have consequences. Sadly with many votes, the consequences are disproportionately felt by the ones that lose the vote.
They are "requested to [..] please" which is very different from the way the rest of the order is written. So it's fair to assume they can decide for themselves whether they want to contact the agent or not.
How to Create a Go-to-Market Strategy in 2021
Well, they could have everyone swim one after another in the same lane. It's not like there's much interaction between racers, as there is eg in a boxing match.

(Of course, this would totally ruin the sport for spectators.

Following this logic, for any sport with no interaction, everyone could just stay home and run around their own track whenever they feel like and just send in their times to a central record keeper.)
Is it just me, or is it really obvious that Wout won?

https://i.imgur.com/g78YNla.png

Each pixel column is a specific point in time. I added a few landmarks: when the front of the wheel passes the camera view, when the axis of the wheel passes the camera view, and when the end of the wheel passes the camera view. Blue for the top biker (Wout) and green for the bottom biker (Tom).

Every single event happened earlier for Wout. Both wheels are the same diameter. Therefore, the entire period where the wheel intersected the camera view, Wout's wheel was ahead. Including the exact period where Wout passed the actual finish line.

If Tom would have passed Wout, you would expect that the bottom wheel would be more "squeezed" such that the end of Tom's wheel would have passed the camera line earlier than Wout. Same for the other landmark (centre of wheel).

You can add more landmarks if you want (e.g. approximate when the wheel passes for 25% and for 75%), but it should be clear by pure margin that Wout had the lead for the whole duration where the front wheels passed the camera view. Pretty much all the computation in this article was unnecessary.

Amstel gold made the good call, though I agree that it was probably more luck.

Here is my three step process:

1. Accept that you feel bad about failures.

2. Accept that what happens did happen.

3. Re focus on the present. Today is today.

A few key notes:

* Get re-started despite how little you can do.

* Whatever it is, just do it.

* Be persistent.

This works.

> proper refresh.

If it gets a "refresh" the way slack murdered IRC for work, I hope it never does. While were at it, slack can go straight into a volcano. Any value it adds over IRC is A. marginal and B. not work-relevant (because you can't upload anything containing sensitive data there, bearing in mind what it is...).

Well, I am a Czech and we had a Communist regime here in practice, people being hanged for thoughtcrimes or forced to process uranium ore with their bare hands as a punishment.

I am aware that in US discourse, anti-Communist paranoia serves as an example of stupid panic, but I must say that it wasn't entirely unfounded. Early 1950s were very bad behind the Iron Curtain. Very, very violent and unjust times.

The regimes mostly tamed themselves once Stalin was dead, that is true.

"If we stop antagonizing each other and create doom scenarios and propaganda we could avoid the "use against each other part"."

People will never stop antagonizing one another, just visit Twitter and look at the hostile bubbles that emerge there. If anything, Twitter revealed just how much hate for the other is in hearts of men. Removing it is equivalent for a major redesign of human beings as they are.

That said, antagonism does not have to lead to violence and war, most Twitter opponents do not bash their heads in reality either. But the fundamental game theory is against your wish. You need everybody on board for lasting peace. You need just one defector from the peace contract to create a need for military for everyone else.

This is a classical hawk vs. dove game.

CMake only finds the dependencies, how do they get to your computer? Do you link statically or dynamically? What compiler toolchains are these libraries built with, do they use the same standard library as your code or different ones? When you want to cross compile, how do you find libraries for your target architecture?

Conan makes much of this easier, but is not really suited for large software projects with the problems mentioned above - in my experience.
I have worked as an engineer in Japan for Japanese and I hated it.

Reason nr. 1. Racism!

Japanese are very very racist and would show how they feel superior at every chanse they get.

Nr. 2. Japanese are not polite and will not help you unless: they have something to gain, or it is a social setting where they have to act a certain way.

Nr. 3. No matter who you are and from where you are, if you are not Japanese in Japan you are a second class citizen.
Good luck getting in a Japanese night club if you are not escorted by Japanese. Good luck renting a place.

I mean it is no coincidence Japan is they only country to ever get nuked..... Twice!

Also every neighbor country to Japan hates Japan
That has absolutely nothing to do with modern "abolish the police" rhetoric.

"Abolish the police" is a utopian Marxist fantasy that holds that in some hypothetical perfected society we won't need police because everyone will just get along, and that the only reason we currently "need" police is because capitalism/patriarchy/white supremacy/imperialism drive people to commit crime and violence, therefore all we have to is burn the existing system to the ground (no need to specify its replacement it in any detail) and utopia will emerge from the rubble. (Nevermind that the politicians who advocate this nonsense spend tens of thousands of dollars on private security while pretending that police are unnecessary.)

It's no exaggeration to say that this is the same ideology ("society is imperfect, therefore burn everything to the ground with no plan to rebuild other than my being in charge") that got tens of millions of people killed in the twentieth century. It's insane, dangerous garbage and it should not be tolerated.

None of the orchestrators of the Northern Ireland peace process held political views that are remotely similar to this.

Agreed. Retrieving a single random record was enough to prove vulnerability. Analyzing several days worth of data (why??? What does that prove???) crosses the line firmly into black hat territory.
If you're going to nitpick you might want to address the lack of capitalization and diacritical marks in his name (García Márquez) in your comment. Most people appreciate it being written correctly (although the dead probably don't feel too strongly about such worldly concerns).

Do you think you'll enjoy the office as much if (for simplicity sake) 50% of the people enjoy working from home so much they do not want to return? From my discussions with colleagues much more than 50% hopes to work from home 3+ days a week once this all is over.
Are they allowed to make you do extra work to convert/generate data in the format asked? I know the other way around in (our local non-US variant of) freedom of information act requests you cannot ask any part of government to make/create/convert data for you, only ask for what they have in the format they have it in.
One other possibility is that the camera was positioned in the correct place, but was angled slightly to the left with respect to the line, rather than being exactly parallel with the line. I don't know how they set up these cameras to ensure they're parallel with the line, but this seems at least as likely as aligning the camera parallel but in the wrong place. I'm not sure how you'd be able to tell from the images though, but it would make a much bigger difference to the actual result.

And Pidgin, on desktop. And many other multi protocol 'apps'.

The ridiculousness of that "my app has to have its own experience" largely affected desktop. Messaging applications fully integtated with desktop environments are no more, at least what they used to be. It's sad to see how not many people can use Pidgin now, or how things like Telepathy died.

I'm not sure there is such a thing as an "apolitical space" - it is kind of like trying to remain stationary on a moving train. Even if you don't discss contentious issues, political parties, etc, you are still part of social and economic systems premised on political views.

For example, one might say they don't talk about climate change/sexism/racism in the work place and therefore it is apolitical, but to another viewpoint not talking about these issues is political.

There's hell lot of virtually free land in the world today. A lot of it is very habitable and has decent climate, or has moderate issues easily solvable with today's technology (say air conditioning for hot and humid climates). It never went away. It's just that money one can make from just a piece of land is not enough anymore: these people in the XIX century went after some arable land for family farms, but it just doesn't work today: food is too cheap to make a living growing it on a small scale. Agricultural era is gone. Industrial and post-industrial society requires people to live in cities and there is no free land in cities as living in them is a competition by definition.

Free land never went away. Demand for it did.

Just equally, there is plenty of virtually free or very cheap homes in the U.S., many of them are in good condition (or at least, plots of land to build oneself, do get dirt cheap). It's just this happens in places with no jobs - but people in XIX century were not looking for jobs.

That's also the reason why free and open-for-all immigration was banned in 1930s: that was a turning point when people stopped coming for "20 acres and a mule" (while these were still plentiful), but wanted industrial jobs, and thus homes in the cities, and these were a scarce resource.
You are already defining new tribes of "us reasonable people" versus the racists, nationalists and extremists though, unintentionally showing how hard it is to ignore the human tendency to divide people into groups.

That comic is the funniest fucking thing I've seen in a long time.

I was literally just making the argument with my friends who were going "oh, I wish Tiesto was still playing trance; he turned his back on the trance scene" to which I responded "Tiesto was never a trance DJ, he was a mainstage DJ. He's still a mainstage DJ, and you don't get on the mainstage playing trance anymore".
I thought it only applied to the government.

I'm not american, but the fact that private companies fire people for speech is also weird to me. I don't see the argument why this is right: is it because companies should shoulder the image weight of such decision, and because "there are other rival companies"?
At one point Android attempted to do something similar, though mostly for social media - I do not remember the name of the feature, but it was presented with Android 4.0, but no one seems to have ever implemented it - probably because nothing stopped you from pushing your own walled garden app.

> I don't want to write an app for it. By your logic websites should be plain text and we should all be learning N frameworks to do things that are way easier to do in a browser, available without having to install black box crap software on our devices.

> This has no bearing in real accessibility, it's, as plenty of other things, a red herring, since real accessibility is not defined by zooming or changing your scrollbar appearance - as you can confirm by visiting a very large part of the internet.

Are you seriously claiming zooming is not an accessibility feature?

> This is like, your opinion. Which besides being as the saying goes, isn't even backed by any rational argument.

Please stop the flaming.

> All the cases you mention can, and should be dealt with in legal terms - your school, employer, university, or state, are public entities, there can certainly be accessibility guides, references and standards, as there are in a multitude of others things, exactly to regulate that.

Sure. And once there are strict accessibility laws, worldwide, that everyone follows, and all the legacy software has been replaced, we can give developers control over zooming again.
