I am not quite certain what you mean with this link. It basically says that it is important that teachers are not racist and be aware of their implicit biases. That seems pretty reasonable and non-controversial.

Just look at chapter 2! This is how you are supposed to teach math properly (as opposed to a rote exercise), independently of whether you have social justice beliefs.

And if the problem is about some vague "different way of thinking", this is also addressed by good teachers: one student has an aptitude to solve something with an algebraic proof, another one has an aptitude with geometric proofs, etc. A good teacher will use this as a moment to explore the other ways of thinking, which are deeply important for good mathematicians.

EDIT: You added a definition of white supremacy and a bunch of correlating terms. Sure, that definition seems fine, but I do not see how it relates to the conversation.

EDIT 2: If you are hung up on words like "objectivity" being listed among the "naughty words", consider what the author actually means by that word. Is an all-white jury really an objective jury of your peers when you are black. Or if you want to torture the metaphor and talk about math: Cantor's obsessions at the end of his life and Goedel's incompleteness theorem would be a great starting point for an essay on the limits of objectivity in math.
> IDK how to explain, I don't even have any friends on there I follow.

Social media is best used for keeping in touch with friends and family. If you're just browsing popular photos from people you don't know, it's basically an interactive and targeted version of watching TV. We all grew up understanding that endless TV consumption is an unhealthy activity that we should minimize, but it has taken a while for the same sentiment to be applied to social media.

I don't bother with the discover tab in Instagram and I mostly follow people I know. I can usually catch up on everything in 5-10 minutes per day at most, including some comments on friends' photos.

> I'm slowly trying to ween myself off but it is so meticulously addictive.

Being addicted to anything is a massive trigger for depression, especially when it displaces productive activities and replaces them with sedentary consumption. If you can't use something without becoming addicted, it's best to not use it at all.

That's how I ran across this reference, but from the other direction — I've been reading the MRI codebase with the goal of writing faster/better Ruby :)

I've been working on my own version of a file-type identification library (even before the recent `mimemagic` drama) and have found it very necessary to understand the way allocation works since the code in question sits in my app's startup path and gets referenced more frequently than anything else.

We can't separate ourselves from society, nor should we want to. But we should also ensure checks are in place so that society's capacity to control the individual is not absolute, so as to mitigate the negative side-effects that can spring from its convulsions.

Perfect and immediate enforcement of every law prevents many undesireable activities, but it removes what I consider to be necessary alack from the system. It should be enough that the ledger is transparent, and the law can be retroactively enforced when law enforcement is made aware of the violation.
Part of it is the incongruence of your present moment environment doesn't match what your eyes are telling you, causing a cognitive dissonance or confusion of sorts - even if merely feeling based; I imagine people who are mostly in their head, their mind strongly always on, perhaps used as a coping mechanism, are more likely to be less negatively influenced by that incongruence as they may not be as connected to and therefore as influenced by their body, the feelings of body to contrast with mind.

Is there any documentation detailing power levels, or that decision was made to only offer power levels but not role-based permissions? FWIW, the reason most major platforms offer role-based permissions is because enterprises demand it, and it’s become the de facto primitive for authorization. User type based permissions also make sense, but are often used in conjunction with (not in lieu of) roles.

I don't see how switching consensus from a proof of work system to proof of stake system "is entirely within the scope of a PoW system". If the majority of the network decides to do that, I understand why that makes it valid, and this is intentionally hyperbolic/don't think proof of stake is properly viewed like this, but to me that reads like "voting in a dictatorship is entirely within the scope of a democratic system". Technically it might be true, but the moment you make that valid democratic decision a decision like that can't happen the same way again.
I actually think this is worse for Onetto because the "one-sided story based on...Onetto..." has Onetto extolling high abstract ideas for the ostensible wellbeing of employees when he obviously needed to be presenting hard cause and effect realities to his boss and caring for employee welfare directly on the ground. If you are discussing the lives of warehouse workers I just don't see how it's being responsible to spend your time writing academic papers only possibly able to affect very much more privileged employees if at all.

The last time I looked at it, it turned out that hydrogen filling stations need a significant time after fueling each car to get back to transfer pressure. If you want to fill your tank right after someone else, you'll have to wait for a bit.

But overall, filling time is not that big of a deal. Most people don't really drive that much, and the car spends the majority of its time in a parking lot. In practice it turns out that just charging it at home every day is more than enough to keep a battery full.

In addition to that, commercial vehicles often have a driving time limit. As long as the recharge period is shorter than the mandatory break, you are not going to care about the recharge speed.

And both battery capacity and charging speed are quickly improving. There might be a small niche for hydrogen, but it's disappearing rapidly.

I went to school at MIT with tons of people who had world-class intelligence, productivity and even accomplishments, but imposter syndrome was still rampant.

Even if someone happens to be exceptional at everything you choose to do and thus have confidence, they can only do so many things. And that means that for every thing they are exceptional at, there are a thousand things where they are unimaginably outclassed by others. MIT was awful for that.

For me personally, the more I learn about my areas of expertise, the more I realize how clueless I am about so many other areas. But if the knowledge of your general cluelessness makes you timid outside of your domain of expertise, it limits how much you can accomplish.

Also, I didn’t really read ‘fierceness’ to mean ‘assholeness’. I’ve been around some people who had ideas that they desperately wanted to see out into the world. They were fiercely passionate and they did have a tendency to interrupt, but they definitely weren’t assholes.

Strange reading of Keynes. I never read him advocate for rampant wasteful consumerism. In fact many of his arguments about government intervention (investment) are derived by his observation that consumption is prone to drying up.

Do you have any data on that ‘majority of people buy from scalpers’ claim?

One reason for anti price gouging laws is that it is not uncommon for people to buy out all supply, then turn around and charge more/sit on a stockpile to solve the artificially created shortage they themselves created - a term for that being ‘cornering the market’.

I haven’t generally seen too much anger at someone legitimately opening up supply by importing more or opening up more supply lines (especially if they say that’s what they’re doing). People have been pretty open to paying more in that case (albeit maybe not 10x more, though that is more because it’s hard to plausibly have such an increase in cost without literally airdropping supplies - which is a different beast).
"It will be a long, long time before the marketplace evolves sufficient technological measures to guard against state-sanctioned/possibly-state-sponsored malicious actors operating with impunity in a lawless environment."

Only because we, as a society, have decided that we don't care about information security, to the extent that we protect incompetent, ignorant, or uncaring individuals and organizations from any liability for their actions. How much better off would we be if we had fined Experian $1M for every user account they lost? Or for any of the other breaches in the preceding decades? How much more careful would your average bootcamp grad be writing the code that forms attack surfaces if they had to pay liability insurance?

By and large, we have had a good idea how to make technological measures much more resistant to attack since the '80s. It's always been considered too difficult and too expensive, something we have put exactly no resources towards fixing. Ten years of a quarter of the collective budget we spend on using ML to violate privacy would probably take everyone except state sanctioned actors out of the picture.

It's a well-written, good summary of the effects of CRT on mathematics.

It's important to understand that math professors, in the best of times, are looking for great math students, in a similar way to catching sand with your fingers.

When CRT takes time and confidence away from students, even less sand remains.

Maybe it's me but it feels like in a world where developers know the basics of how to build a container image, container-driven workflows stand to offer the ease that people originally expected from the cloud. Since I'm an ops-curious/leaning developer, it's hard for me to see how we don't standardize on this the way to deploy going forward. I'd never touch a buildpack if deploy-by-container was available but maybe this says more about me and most developers are the other way.

First the "almost" container (or container-but-not-called-that + lots of other stuff) approaches popped up:

- Google App Engine

- AWS Elastic Beanstalk

- AWS ECS

Now the "actually just give us a container" solutions seem to be growing/moving:

- Heroku (with containers, not buildpacks)

- Google Cloud Run

- Render

- Fly.io

- AWS Appp Runner

I'd also dare to propose that a vast portion of the developers opting for Kubernetes are doing it just to have this -- being able to throw up a container and have the rest be managed for you. Kubernetes is much more interesting than that on the ops side, but you honestly don't need it if you don't want to do anything fancy ops wise -- if all you're doing is running a rails/django/(nuxt|next|nest)js app with a database like Postgres RDS, you can be up and running without the rest of it, and scale up to your first 1000+ customers before trying to do anything fancy. If you pick a decent enough database (a nice extensible one like postgres) you may not even need a real queue or full text search for a while.

Feels like 90% of CRUD-y or SaaS-y apps out there never need more than app container + DB + Redis + S3 + Queues, and if it's simple enough there's no need to turn to other solutions. Expose everything to the internet (and use the appropriate security) and you don't even need to muck with networks anymore.

>You realize quantum computing is ultimately just a few linear algebra operations right?

Quantum systems have wavefunctions though, which collapse to a state. And before collapse, these can interfere. The math of this involves way more than normal linear algebra. Especially when you consider the things we've simplified away -- e.g. how exactly the wave function collapses. (We just say it's 'abrupt' and kinda leave it there. But it's possible this has implications for quantum computing, once we think in quantum theory terms rather than CS.)
Why is fox, the largest tv news channel, never allowed to count as mainstream?
For those who are unaware, there's a good reason to put this in Santa Barbara: it's already the home of Microsoft Station Q, a quantum computing research facility on the campus of UCSB. When I left the math department there in 2014, there were more and more graduate students attaching themselves to it. Not to mention the growing tech industry in Goleta (the city UCSB is actually located in). So it's a perfectly sensible place to put a quantum AI lab. Even if you don't know what that means, yet!

> The issue is that low performers are often only such because of external factors (low income, food insecure, other factors like that), and not due to actual ability. If we focus exclusively on high performers in the low grade, we will only create a WIDE and absolutely inhumane division among the have's and the have not's (more so than what exists).

No, those factors all contribute to the actual ability of the student; you seem to be talking about inherent or latent ability. As a student, I don't care why my low-performing peers are holding me back, I just care that they're holding me back.

We shouldn't focus exclusively on the high performers, and we should absolutely try to ameliorate those factors with things like free school meals and after-school programs. These policies help those with latent ability to turn that into actual ability.

But we can't skip that step. It's important for students to be around students of similar actual ability, because we absolutely cannot afford to slow down the high performers in a perverted quest for equity.

> No. You're 100% wrong in your assessment.

Yes, you're 100% correct in your assessment. I know that what most helped me to excel in math was tutoring my peers in basic mechanics and notation and walking them through absolutely trivial exercises with which they still struggled.

Thank God I never had to endure a class that promoted my intellectual growth by challenging me with more advanced material than my low-performing peers could handle. I learned so much more taking a leadership role.

It is obvious you have little to no personal experience in difficult technical subjects (STEM) and are invested in a political agenda to change the world as you see fit rather than enabling our best and brightest to fully self-actualize.
For what it's worth, I also don't think comparing issues between different projects works.

If you have project A, run by a company, which uses an internal Jira instance to track backlogs and developer's selected tasks, but uses github issues to track all user's reported bugs, well, that will have fewer issues than project B, which uses github issues to track backlogs and sprints in addition to bugs.

There's a lot of variability in this. The kubernetes project (~2k issues) has a bot that closes issues after 90 days by default (~9k closed by the bot so far), and without that bot, they'd have way more.

> A large number of open issues means the maintainers can't keep up.

That's not necessarily true. Github doesn't prescribe that every issue is immediately actionable. Perhaps the issue was tagged as "feature-request / help-wanted". Perhaps it is marked as "awaiting additional reporter info" (like logs, or OS), and there's nothing the maintainers can do until the reporter gets them more info.

Whether every issue gets triaged tells you something about whether maintainers are keeping up, but issues that are triaged aren't then always closed, so the number of open issues doesn't tell you much about how many issues are triaged and how quickly.
