You're doing the same thing this Googler is accused of. Assigning some characteristic/desire to the whole class of people.

No, at the suggestion of a random person who was a manager. Not damores manager.

And the skeptics group has nothing to do with diversity, is open to anyone, and by sharing with the group, functionally meant that the doc was emailed to hundreds or thousands of people.

The guardian is correct.

Wait a sec, I'm on your side with the criticism of public education thing but in saying that there are "many better and more interesting books" than Hamlet, what are you criticizing about the play, exactly?

The reason a disproportionate number of these articles are regarding public sector employees is because public institutions are publicly accountable, and therefore generally must respond to a controversy. A private sector firm is under no obligation to state how it is resolving a matter with an employee and may find it advantageous in terms of public image and legal liability to simply not comment if the employee has not been terminated. Having said that, here are a couple of private individuals.

"just a game " that should be fair. If she's dominating the competition the score should reflect that. It's not on her to be tame for her less competitive peers.
Dassault did something similar like 10 years ago with one of their business jets. In that case, it was also to showcase the capabilities of Catia.

Still amazes me, on the one hand you have the Air Forces one-year project. On the other hand you have the German Air Force that needs more than that just ginish the first draft of the requirements document for an existing plane.
Hindsight bias. If Superman Comic #1 would come out today, it would not be worth that much. So the reason that the second is less valuable is not because of "the nature of #2" but because NFT was a bubble and overhyped.

I'm in the US and I agree. I was never a huge fan of Ring, and when they were acquired by Amazon that made it a deal-breaker. Amazon already knows enough about me.

It's probably no accident that Amazon doesn't tout Ring devices as being Amazon-owned. I imagine there are others who would be less likely to purchase if they were aware of the connection.

For one, the packages you install on Monday may not be available on the mirrors on Tuesday. The mirrors prune old packages not in the indices.

You have to do an “apt update” to ensure that the packages you install will be fetchable, because the apt indices inside the image are out of date and “apt-get install -y whatever” may fail with a 404. That means you aren’t guaranteed to get the same version installed from an “apt-get install -y whatever” after Monday’s “apt-get update” as you would after Tuesday’s “apt-get update”, as the current version of “whatever” may have changed in the interim, even if you don’t run an “apt upgrade”.

In any case, a lot of the files on disk are generated dynamically at install time for certain types of things, and include things derived from the state of the system (which frequently depends on remote network resources, as described above), so issuing the exact same dockerfile FROM+RUN+RUN+ADD etc lines will not result in an identical image result when run on different days: it’s nondeterministic. A deterministic build is one where the same build always results in a byte-for-byte identical build artifact.

There is effort being put in to make the building of the backing .debs deterministic, but AFAIK no Debian or Debian-like is trying to make apt itself work in a deterministic manner when installing packages. There are still postinstall scripts, for example, that are system-state dependent.

Really, you need to be saving your build artifacts when you do Docker builds. Saving the Dockerfile and expecting to be able to rebuild the image at any time later isn’t a good bet. You might, sometimes, be able to rebuild a mostly-compatible image, but there is no chance whatsoever you will be able to build a byte-for-byte compatible image, and it’s entirely possible that your build might just fail entirely (e.g. if you are pinning specific package versions that fall out of date and are no longer fetchable from the mirrors).

Then, in the worst case scenario, you can always load your original working/saved image back in, replace/patch/modify specific files on disk to address issues (either with vendor tools or manually) via a new build that pulls FROM the saved artifact image, and make a derived one.
I'm more concerned with individuals attempting to rewrite the modern lexicon to their own benefit.
> It was a minority faction that fought the British, both before and after this event.

The people actively involved in fighting are going to be a minority in any rebellion you would ever study.

> First, the main faction, which later became the government, did not "rebel" against the British Empire.

They were clearly opposed to the idea of a state with joint rule between different ethnic groups. What is the Jewish Resistance Movement if not a rebellion against the British mandate?

It is disingenuous to suggest that they did not "rebel", indeed, I have an older friend who has recounted blowing up British police stations as a member of the Palmach, which was not the minority faction.

> There were no voting rights during the British period. Arabs had voting rights in Israel once Israel existed, but that's neither her nor there

Most post-British former-colonies had majority rule voting rights. You're right (and I was wrong) that the white paper didn't explicitly address that, but it did address the creation of a multi-ethnic state.
I think the actual benefits is nor fit in little ram, but for make easier to mantaing and improve things. In Rust the sodlib is very small, but it have slowed to emerge great idioms. And instead of putting in the standard lib all the code of X popular library of today, them put the TRAITS/bare support that allow anyone to interop and implement better versions of it.

Is pretty clever way to do things, actually.

I'm not arguing the etymology. I'm just saying that "Ashkenazi, as a demonym would be a new idea historically. I have no problem with people forming new identities.

It's also not about accent. There are distinct Sephardic reading styles. It's not technically doctrinally different either, at least formally. In religious terms, distinctions are termed is "customary/minhagim" which are lower on the hierarchy.

In any case, etymology is not far off the mark. Ashkenazi judaism isn't just named after germany, it originated in the HRE and Ashkenazim spoke a German dialect.

My grandmother was a native polish speaker, secular, and would not have identified as "askenazi" before the war. She identified as polish, strongly, and was as comfortable in a sephardic synagogue as an ashkenazi one. My grandfather, a Yiddish speaker, was more comfortable in an ashkenazi synagogue. Most are mixed, these days, whatever the majority is.
I promise, this is the result of real constraints! Monte carlo is used because of the limitations of analysis when using log-normal distributions. Normal distributions can be summed algebraically; log normal distributions cannot.

Note that Monte-carlo is not used prominently anywhere on the site, just here because I thought HN would find that part of the implementation interesting.

Non-native English user here, it seems the word "neurotic" has some connotation that the trait "neuroticism" doesn't? And that's why it's received so poorly?
No, precisely the opposite: it is because I have tons of experience with many other languages.

I get why some people think a default integer division is a good idea. I do. Having said that, it was clear that Python was aiming itself at being a kind of glue language wherein various functions were obvious, and integer division is not obvious to someone picking up programming for the first time.

If I walk up to someone and ask "What's three divided by two?" I would expect more "One and a half" answers than "Two goes into three just the one time."
Wow, going through those comments it sure feels like people were more positive back then.

The real disinformation secret recipe is to start with people wanting to believe something. A disinformation campaign can not be construed to sew just any arbitrary belief. Its time to recognize that no one is being tricked by disinformation. It is like willful ignorance but not quite ignorance. Willful wrongness.

I would say huge BGA packages are not much of a problem. KiCAD is plenty cable for laying out such a board and all the layers such dense chips require.

Its more of an issue of high speed designs, you cant easily put a layout into a simulator or have it even simply just calculate impedance of a trace automatically as you try and place them. Instead you must manual put these details into a calculator. Its things like this that really slow down working on a complex design. Although, large BGAs generally imply some sort high speed elements in a design so equating packages with needed features is not unreasonable.

Also component library management could be better.

Although, for simple to moderate designs its definitely starting to give other professional software a run for their money.

What about multicast? My understanding was that you subscribe to a multicast endpoint with a player, and that endpoint only needs to send one stream.

One of the failure modes I see often in today's discourse is that using a group term as a subject makes the associated verb profoundly semantically ambiguous. If I say:

"Brunettes like smooth jazz."

It can mean any of:

* There is at least one brunette who likes smooth jazz.

* Some brunettes like smooth jazz.

* Most brunettes like smooth jazz.

* All brunettes like smooth jazz.

* Brunettes are more likely to like smooth jazz than people with other hair colors.

* Brunettes are more likely to like smooth jazz than people as a whole.

* Liking smooth jazz is a defining characteristic of brunettes.

* Liking smooth jazz is a defining characteristic of people who identify themselves as "brunettes".

* Disliking smooth jazz is a defining characteristic of non-brunettes.

* Liking smooth jazz causes (some|most|all) people to dye their hair brown.

* Having brown hair causes (some|most|all) people to like smooth jazz.

When the group term has a long history of power imbalance (unlike brunettes for the most part) and when the verb has deep moral implications (like "murder"), then obviously these different interpretations connote wildly different things.

When you take that ambiguity and place it in the context of the Internet where context is stripped and nothing is known about the audience who will be interpreting it, you are setting yourself up for misinterpretation.

When you do that in a political environment where people are seeking power and stand to benefit from willful misinterpretation, you get, well, much of what US online culture looks like today.

There are obviously many deep systemic problems, but one technique to try to improve the quality of discourse is to simply avoid using groups as subjects in sentences. It almost never conveys anything that can't be better expressed in some other form.

Interesting follow-up -- from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boom, the angle of the shockwave cone decreases (i.e. gets narrower) as the plane's velocity goes up. I'm wondering at what Mach number would the cone be tight enough that it doesn't intersect land?
I can't imagine why he'd want to compete at all. He's got magic running ability. Of course he's going to win, with no effort at all. The conclusion is foregone.

The "barely win" thing is solely about preserving the family secret. It doesn't make the race any more interesting. I can only imagine that they're hoping he'll get bored after winning a few plastic trophies and go off in search of something more challenging.

That's not really the case here. She's not categorically different from the other female athletes. She's slightly stronger, slightly more talented, and slightly bolder. In sports, such slight advantages mean consistent wins, but only if you work as hard as everybody else. They're not magic.

She's not being held back to protect a secret. She's being held back because of a murky set of biases, resentments, and politics.

Or even well educated but ill-informed about some subjects.

Or part of an organization/group/etc that has some negative public positions or legacy but is not the uniform agreement among the entire group or evolved entirely over the years?

I personally see every election as choosing between lesser evils. Yet some groups see voting for any party as full agreement with everything the political party says and has done.

There is so much context and grey area that modern diversity or social justice groups are (or act?) completely ignorant of. So does it make it rational to put them to their own garbage public trials, or give them a pass like mature rational individuals - also to a certain degree filled with it's own grey areas?
> You can see this problem in most Wikipedia math pages.

This gets mentioned so often that I feel it hints at a deep misunderstanding at what Wikipedia is or is supposed to be.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It's not a teaching resource, and it shouldn't be. (Nor, for that matter, is it a primary source, which makes it useless as a reference if you're writing a paper, unless you're specifically writing about Wikipedia.)

Mathematics is such a ubiquitous language. Different people will require different kinds of mathematics, for vastly different purposes and in various levels of depth and formality, there's no way this can be unified into a single-size-fits-all resource. If you want to learn mathematics, now more than ever there is such an amazing breadth of text books, blog posts, lecture videos, online communities and so on that you can use depending on your very specific needs. I don't know why people go and try reading up on mathematics from Wikipedia, out of all places.
>The Zionists convinced Britain to give them Palestine, so they moved in and formed an illegal government, which ironically applied similar tactics the Nazis applied to the Jews in WWII (ethnic cleansing, killing discriminately, etc.). The conflict continues to this day until the Palestinians get back their rightful land

The issue is far more complex than that. The land in Sheik Jarrah, for example, the center of the most recent conflict, was sold to Jews in the 1800s, and these evictions occurred because Palestinians (unironically also settlers in this case) did not pay obligated rent for decades.

Further, this anti-settler/anti-colonizer justification is inconsistently applied. The Al Asqa mosque is built on the ruins of a Jewish temple - so how long must a group of people occupy an area before they are no longer considered "settlers" or "occupiers" within the modern progressive framework?
That sounds like a nice setup.

I'll mention good employers definitely exist. They're in the minority, but they're not rare. One of the key issues is that good employers are rarely top-dollar employers.

One of the lessons I've learned in my career is that working with good, honest people matters a lot more than top dollar. I don't work for crooks, no matter how good the offer on the surface. If someone is exploiting me at half-million-a-year, that exploitation usually comes with more cost than a cost-of-living job with someone I can trust.

A good sign is how long people were there. I'm at a company where people spend decades, and there's a real sense of community. It feels a bit like sixties-era HP. The company takes care of people who work there, and people who work there take care of the company.

2-3 year jobs, as most of the tech industry, are fundamentally transactional.
I don’t think holding companies are famous for that.
> It would be very different because it's very different to be black rather than white in America.

That's a race essentialist myth[^1]. There are no "white experiences" or "black experiences". We assign "white" and "black" labels to diverse individuals with diverse experiences who process their experiences differently. The average black person may have a different experience than the average white person, but the variance is so large (more variance within a race than between races) that this is utterly useless for talking about any individual (the "average white person" and "average black person" don't actually exist).

[^1]: I would say "a racist myth" but that's a bit overloaded these days and it carries some judgmental connotations that I don't want to imply, but it is no less racist than other racist myths.

As opposed to having an easy to use single technology named Erlang which is almost certainly good enough for your needs. And your developers can easily be running a distributed system of erlang nodes locally without any issues or complex setups.
You might want to read up on the history: this is a key part of why Apple needed up the default experience because hectoring users about using strong passwords, not sharing them, etc. hasn’t worked. A lot of what we take for granted now was contentious at the time and it’s taken years to improve the balance in a user-friendly manner — and pointing out that they acted on problems years ago seems more like a positive than supporting whatever point you think you’re making.
