Tests are a bit depressing.

- "Borane" has two unlinked entries: Q127611 is "any chemical compound composed of boron and hydrogen atoms only" while Q15634214 is specifically boron trihydride. Both correct, but the latter should be labelled as an instance of the former.

- "Anomalocaris" has Q37395 for the "extinct genus of radiodon" (instance of "fossil taxon") but species (e.g. Q49557506 Anomalocaris cranbrookensis) do not link to it.

- There are no lists of links, for example Q936518 ("aerospace manufacturer") doesn't have a list of its instances (e.g. Boeing, Q66, or Arado Flugzeugwerke, Q624899).
I can think of the "desktop" apps that are actually a bundled web browser like Slack and Skype. I utterly detest them - slow and without proper native menus and memory hogs.

Some of us ...of a certain age... may remember an ATG Night at an Apple WWDC in the 1990s.

This kid comes out on stage, holding a tablet, and starts writing math formulas, which are recognized and displayed on the screen. Then he starts balancing the equation; dragging variables from one side of the equals to the other, and the program automatically does stuff like invert the operations.

Then, he graphs it.

A whole conference hall of geeks gave him a standing ovation.

That became the first Apple Graphing Calculator app.
Freaking English. Can't we revamp the dictionary to make the alphabet truly phonetic? So many of the words have dubious pronunciation. To the point that if you have just read a word in a book, there is no guarantee that you can pronounce it.
European unions are very different from American unions though due to legal differences. In USA they tend to have much more power over workers and many workers don't like that.

>Are there any examples of this worry about "genetic freaks" in non-women categories?

There are lots of examples at the Olympic level, some of which can be found elsewhere in this thread. Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps are probably the most well-known recent cases - both dedicated athletes who also had some physical quirk which helped to ensure that they totally dominated their respective sport for the period that they were in their physical primes.

To be clear, the point is that nobody is "worried" about genetic outliers in mens' sports. If you were unlucky enough to be competing in a national Olympic swim team at the same time as peak-fitness Phelps, you were expected to suck it up and accept that you very likely had no chance of getting a gold medal. A great deal is made out of training and mentality, but at the end of the day, physicality is still a big silent factor in these competitions that the athletes simply have no control over.
If the copy behaviour is that different between the two cases it should be two different classes.
But they were convenient. I won't invest hours collecting sites to make my point. Besides that 'independence' is relative. Anyway, I'm just wary of one-sided bitching. Above a certain treshold of waryness I tend to bitch back. As simple as that.

I remember building a MIPS processing from scratch in undergrad. We used SPIM to model it!
Wikidata is a great resource, but the SPARQL query language seems more annoyingly complicated and confusing than it could be.

I'm using Wikidata to automatically categorize visited websites and used programs for time tracking purposes.

For example, here's a query to get the entity (e.g. company) that has a specific domain (news.ycombinator.com), and get the categories that entity is in that that are a descendent of the "service on internet" category:

SELECT distinct ?service ?website_url ?outer_category ?outer_categoryLabel WHERE {
?service wdt:P856 ?website_url.
optional {
?service wdt:P31 ?inner_category.
?inner_category wdt:P279* ?outer_category.
?outer_category wdt:P279+ wd:Q1668024.
}
VALUES ?website_url { <https://news.ycombinator.com/> }
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
}

Returns

- social news website
- online service
- website

Relations have to be written as `wdt:P279` even though they have names [1], and the query engine just silently accepts lots of stuff it shouldn't.
For example if above you do `"url"` instead of `<url>`, it will just not return any results because URLs is a separate type and URLs never match strings. And if an entity doesn't exist it will also just not return anything.
Then there's this hacky "label service" thing that implicitly creates new output variables (outer_categoryLabel) to make it actually return text.

The UX of the query site [2] is also pretty bad.

I feel like Wikidata would be much more used if it had a easier query language. Or better, real bindings to common languages with full intellisense for properties etc). Something like this:

const service = wikidata.variable();
const inner_category = wikidata.variable();
const outer_category = wikidata.variable();
const results = await wikidata
.filter(service.official_website("https://news.ycombinator.com"))
.filter(service.instance_of(inner_category))
.filter(inner_category.subclass_of(outer_category).anyDepth())
.filter(outer_category.subclass_of("service on internet").anyDepth());

console.log(results.map(row => row.get(outer_category).getLabel({language: "en"})));

It's also really hard to find good answers about the SparQL language without reading hundreds of pages of dry documentation.

Please be aware that people who say this is unfair (in sports) aren't saying trans people aren't allowed to be who they are. I am against trans women competing in women's sports, especially those who transitioned late in their life. But that doesn't mean I'm against trans people.

Pardon my grumpiness, but you know a name is sub-optimal when one references the pronunciation right in the title. Or maybe it's another cutesy pun, or an 'in-group' reference. Those always work out, right? :)
And it's really too bad because in a decade or two, the tech industry will really need one.

When that day comes, how will we be able to fight that?
Sometimes those interesting features are not easy to find.

When looking up on how to do something for the web, one get tons of answers describing how to do it with javascript and usually with js frameworks. The simple methods (which do not cover all cases but are sometimes enough) are usually buried under.

So unless beginner learn by heart all the html tags (and that is not beginner friendly) they won't know those basic features, so I think that's cool to have a reminder.
That makes sense then with the additional context.

Top performers doesn't like SAG, they'd prefer not to be in it but SAG forces them to pay their union fees and not take non-union contracts anyway since most big budget movies are union shops.

And you can't compare professions where you get paid for fame with professions where you get paid for performance. It is really hard to prevent famous people from making loads of cash, but it is very easy to prevent high performers from getting a higher salary than their peers as both companies and unions would prefer that.
And there's a bunch of trans people anecdotally debating it claiming things like height reduction and others. The truth trans people on (long-term) hormones have not been studied on physiological characteristics to be sure they're affected or not.

This is intentional, you can construct these via the query service. There's also an optional "gadget" registered users can add to their configuration, that can do this automatically when visiting a page for every instance of some "inverse" property.

It offers more than a bare input does. Why can’t I add Ajax for fuzzy matches? A custom drop down with keyboard events? Or I could hang all that off of an input. Or use a select? You’re saying stuff can’t be done. Out of the box sure? Why hate on it? This looks great to me.
> While it's hard to draw a precise line, there's a clear difference between having some genetic features that give you an advantage, and having most genetic features that give you an advantage.

I don't see the clear difference. In what qualitative sense does Hubbard's genetic advantage differ from the genetic advantage of any athlete at the top of their sport? There are many competitions which are dominated by one individual, regardless of the training or medical help which every other competitor can afford. Should those people be excluded from competing for reasons of fairness?

No, it doesn't, because Google results aren't copyrightable, hence, there is no such thing as fair use. It's just information anyone is free to collect and use as they see fit.

I think a therapist/meds or even a coach could provide the best help for you. A therapist should be the ones to diagnose you, but this _ might_ be an attention disorder like ADD. I know really smart people that suffer from this, and I see in them a lot of starting new/interesting things with manic energy and not finishing. However it could also be a sign of other mental health issues, so definitely consult a professional.

It’s a minor point in the breakdown of the system, but I had absolutely no idea that the Memory Card Slots and the Controller Ports on the PlayStation were electrically identical, when I was younger I had recognised that they both had 9 contacts. But I hadn’t considered that they would be electrically the same. The only difference being in how they were addressed.

I regularly use my PlayStation instead of my PlayStation 2 for playing PS1 games, it appears to me that the video output on the PS2 while playing PS1 games is of a lower fidelity (while using an SCART lead), the output is always off centre on the PS2. I assume it’s something to do with the hardware differences in the video output between the two?

The more complex input elements can't always be styled, don't always have events available for things you'd expect etc. A bare input allows you to do those things from scratch, whereas a custom one is useless if you can't build on top of it.

It's the curse of complex UI elements on the web. Menu failed for similar reasons.

Sex not being binary is technically correct, the best kind of correct, but it misses the wood for the trees.

Most (but not every) step on that continuum are known as diseases of sexual development [0].

These arguments often come up in discussions around trans issues, but its a trick of misdirection, although the DSD community does have a higher incident of gender identity issues (which is what you'd expect), around 5%, 1% that actively changed their gender, the lack of transition within the DSD community seems to suggest DSD and gender dysphoria are not related phenomenon.

The idea that sex is a continuum, based on known disorders, is like saying human bipedalism is a continuum due to people being born with less than 2 full legs, or more than 2 legs (extra toes), or losing them in later life. Although technically correct the observation does not really change the conversation.

Then, the man explained, there is the “problem” that your billions will only grow, often quicker than you can give them away, with interest and rising investments. “Being a billionaire is a lot harder than it looks,” the man said.

A good example of this 'problem' is Mackenzie Scott, Jeff Bezos's ex-wife. She got $38bn in the divorce. She's given away about $8bn in the two years since they broke up. Her current wealth is worth about $60bn.
Maybe it can be fixed with custom ACPI tables or a custom kernel driver?

Try running acpi_listen and pressing an Fn+something combo to see if it's ACPI-based. If so, it's a relatively easy fix by disassembling the ACPI tables, altering them and then using a bootloader that can replace the tables like I think grub supports (or if running Linux using kernel parameters to replace them).

> During the development of the PlayStation, MIPS was offering the R3000A series of processors.

The TMPR5900 (the MIPS chip developed by Toshiba to power the PS2) was sufficiently complex to develop that we developed a cycle-accurate simulator so Sony (and a few game developers) could start development before hardware was available.

However emulation isn't always the best approach: the PS2 (at least the first edition) implemented back compatibility by simply including a PS1 on board. That's a kind of Moore's law in that the cost of doing so had dropped so much since the original PS introduction that it was worth it.
I don't like that this relies on globally unique ids to link elements. I would prefer the ability to specify some kind of relative path instead. (there are similar problems in other areas, like aria)
Or maybe you are the bias-one by imposing your view on how society look-like and what kind of problems it should be dealing with?

What if SimCity models its society in post-racial world or world where all sims were always are equally treated?

In that case the only issues to deal with are the ones created by the environment and decision the player makes.

Its a hollow and circular discussion of an entertainment.

IMHO much better article would touch on the mechanics next SimsCity game could implement and how it would be beneficial to player experience.
I'd guess that people who aren't clearly male/female would probably tend to be grouped in the more competitive category.

For example, say that an intersexed-athlete (not simply male nor female) plays two sports: one where males are seen as advantaged and another where females are seen as advantaged. Then, the intersexed-athlete would probably compete in the male-category in the male-advantaged sport while simultaneously being in the female-category in the female-advantaged sport.
> What I'd really like to see is some kind of team sport or game where there is a strong advantage in having a "mixed" team. Surely someone can think of a game that won't be entirely dominated by men? If that existed then we could choose the team sports with women in them over the 100% male individual sports. But ultimately the choice will come down to which one is the most interesting, impressive and exciting.

So far, there's no such game existed yet, even with non-physical sport like esport.
