I found this book, it's approach and tone to be really engaging, it answered a bunch of questions I didn't know I had and allowed me to understand and engage with my work as a web dev on another level. Parser Combinators for example are fascinating. I find Daniel Holden's work similar to many ways to Brian Lonsdorf's... Honestly surprised there are haters for this type of thing!
"Kathy: Oh, one thing we didn't really touch on, just to jump back to the Mozilla conversation. Why did you leave Mozilla?

Daniel: Well, two things really. First, I felt a little bit stuck as a developer. Not because it's not a fun thing, because it's network stuff and I'm interested in that and HTTP and everything that I enjoyed with curl for so long. But Firefox is a big thing, millions and millions of lines of code, and a very complicated... hundreds of threads and objects and C++. And it's actually a very, very heavy ship to bring forward and to do changes in. And it's a complicated thing with a lot of bugs and a lot of incoming bugs all the time. It's actually, I think over time, a pretty stressful situation where it's really hard to do things, bug fixes or bug reports arrive faster than you're able to fix them.

And also we had a really hard time for a while there when our development team was decreased significantly. So I jumped ship and I quit before I knew what I wanted to do or how I was going to do it. So I just... I better get rid of this and figure out what I want to do instead."

There is nothing sensible about "modern" web browsers.
One of the better arguments I've heard is that if you look at Hubbard's numbers when she was competing as a man and compare them when competing as a women you'll see a drop in performance, but not an enormous drop. She went from a mediocre lifter to one able to qualify for the Olympics.

The reduced testosterone requirement is still way above what the average female athlete will have and it is a very limited view of what makes a biological female different from a biological male. I can't imagine what kind of problems this will give in combat sports, just imagine the longer reach and explosiveness men have.

I'm all for people being able to identify as whatever they want, but not at the cost of fair sports.

Here are some great discussions on the topic if you're interested:

Even though I largely agree with your conclusion, I strongly disagree that this problem is made artificially difficult.

The fallout of a decision like this for professional athletes who are trans is huge. That fallout and the effects from that decision should not at all be taken lightly.

Having an MTF proffesional athlete to compete in the male category is going to probably cause a lot of disphoria. It will also make it much harder from them to be accepted as female. Many people will question "If she is a woman, why is she competing in the male category". Hence it would probably cause many MTF professional athletes to simply decide to drop their profession.

Transitioning is already hard. Adding "drop your profession" to that makes it that much harder. Especially to professional athletes to whom "being an athlete" is probably rather important. Just dismissing these concerns as "easy" is wrong. The impact this will have is huge and deserves significant consideration.

I believe that, on balance, even when considering the above, there are still cases where MTF athletes should be barred from "women's leagues". At least in sports where their biology gives MTF athletes a significant advantage. But that is a close and difficult call to me. Not at all an easy one.
workers' rights isn't the same thing as wage. People in western-Europe are happier than folk in the US, with more worker's rights and less wages.
I love this quote, but can someone explain to me what is meant with "Unless suffering is the direct and immediate object of life, our existence must entirely fail of its aim."?
You should probably qualify this with location.

Countries that have had domestic and wild cats for millennia are mostly unaffected by domestic cats being outside, especially in urban areas where wildlife is overrun by vermin.

Yes, there are plenty of examples of cats causing issues, but only in locations where they were introduced and not where they are native. Australia is a good example, as domesticated cats have become a nuisance and bred in the wild. But then you look at what has happened since the cat population was culled, with the many videos of mice on farms. Removing them isn't a perfect solution, as they've been around long enough to become a part of the ecosystem and not just a destructive force.

I would also qualify this with; cats should be kept inside whilst in heat. Many of the issues caused by cats are due to owners letting their cats reproduce. Where cats have a good supply of food, naturally they will reproduce up to a balancing point with the available food. Many cat owners are unaware (or just don't care) about cats reproducing and the impact that has. Spaying/neutering is also a viable option if owners don't want to have to lock their cats in during their heat cycle - cats birthing can be traumatic for the mother, so this can be a major benefit. Similarly, male cats will mate with multiple females so neutering is many times more effective than spaying alone.
transmen vs transmen, transwomen vs transwomen
Condorcet methods performed well in this analysis, even under the various strategy models. Although it says that STAR performed slightly better under strategic voting, its scores are still very high. The main reason given in the text for preferring to highlight STAR was a (common) belief that the Condorcet methods are too difficult to explain and that explainability is important.

Personally I think the Condorcet methods are not that difficult to explain. The various ways of resolving not perfectly clear situations are a little involved, but everything else makes perfect sense. I built a visualisation a few years ago that created a directed graph of results, and then analysed the strongly connected components.

Having said that, I hadn't come across STAR before and I think it makes a fair amount of sense. Any of these high quality methods are enormously better than those used in lots of countries.
I made a data import project for Brazilian higher education organizations and was impressed by the amount of documentation, process and tooling available. On the other hand, I was also impressed at how few data imports are completed for me to take as example.

I hope you enjoy secret proprietary blobs in RYF hardware.

RYF certification decreases freedom, it doesn't increase it. The qualification for RYF is that the user not be able to see any blobs, not that they don't exist. As a result, manufacturers hide and bury the blobs in order to achieve compliance. Meanwhile, more open devices with optional replaceable blobs are denied certification.

Not all trans people undergo or desire surgical intervention. Also, a transgender woman who desires biological children and surgical intervention could freeze her sperm before surgery.

Remember the story a few years ago about the gay couple where one of them was a transgender man and gave birth to their child? I'm sure similar situations do sometimes arise with transgender women.

Two people with the same shade of dark skin, but different in every other way. Are they both part of the "Black community"? Can one speak for the other?

There is a SPARQL query page, with useful examples included.

In general, Wikidata is not made up of discrete "datasets". Rather, each identifiable real-world entity, event or concept has a unique Q-identifier and a listing of "properties" that apply to that entity. So, to construct a dataset, you'd query for entities that participate in some set of properties you might care about.

Wikidata is a fantastic data source for all sorts of applications, not just for the Wikimedia projects (infoboxes, templates, etc.).

This is what enables you to search for things and not strings (as Google does).
We design a classification algorithm called Clustering Aware Classification (CAC), to find clusters in data that are tailor made to be easily classifiable when used as training datasets by classifiers for each underlying subpopulation. CAC is theoretically motivated, efficient, convergent and provably guaranteed to improve the performance of classifiers using the Logistic Loss functions. The CAC framework improves the performance of 9 different Machine Learning classifiers on 5 standard and 1 large real world dataset. Preprint of the paper can be found at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.11872.pdf.
>impossible to do fairly

we're at HN - run PCA and clustering on the totality of athletes' results and biological data for the last N decades with end result being the groups based on identified parameters similar to boxing/wrestling weight groups.

>that would make sense to audiences.

we're already in situation which is harder and harder to make sense. Putting it on the firm basis of scientific analysis is the only way to move forward which would avoid all the pitfalls we're going to hit otherwise.
That's not the impression I got. Yeah, their takeaway was to stop using BinaryPack, which I disagree with. However, it sounded to me like they very much understood that they made the biggest error in putting all of their eggs in one basket.

The quote says:

"Even if plant suffering were of the same intensity as animal suffering,
omnivores would produce seven to ten times more suffering than plant lovers
alone."

Note the word "suffering". The quote is comparins suffering, not killing.

> The 7-10x number is relative to the number of plants you'd have killed if you
instead ate plants directly.

The quote says:

"Worse, the production of one animal protein requires 7 to 10 plant proteins."

So the quote is counting proteins, not animals or plants.
Well I am well educated, but none of the other categories you have mentioned above and I have reasoned, with continued and constant personal experience reinforcement that a society that tolerates the existence of lgbt people etc, and is also in adherence to liberal principles, is a society that had no future.

I have gone from liberal to basically Nazi (with liberal and liberalism replacing the Jew as evil target), and every attempt to see whete I might have gone wrong, for noone else seems to think the things I do, just leads, over and iver again, to reading arguments allegedly for liberal values that seem either orthogonal entirely to the point, or are, to me, arguments against liberal values.

Spending my 20s in highly liberal, educated environments has lretty much destroyed all the mainstream base assumptions about people, socjety, and morality that I had and replaced with, to be glib, the sentence "the crazy right wing extremists were actually right about all you people all along".

This is an experience that has, in conjunction with a failure to self censor and attempts to ask for people to explain their positions, seek new knowledge, etc led to a near and complete total collapse of my life.

Former friends of decades will not speak to me because I genuinely cannot understand why anyone would think e.g. homosexuals are anything other than broken deviants, etc based purely on the fundamental nature of their catwgory classification, fundamental inability to have biological children, the empiral evidence concerning higher disease rates from the type of sex they disproportionately practice relative to the heterosexual population, etc.

I do not honestly think any of you here on hacker news are seriously against censorship, because I expect you would be unwilling and incapable of discussing something like this (and there are many other issues too) with me.
I have no religious faith, am bot a conservative, was not brought up like that ,etc but have simply followed my own reason, conscience, and the evidence that is available for me to see and read about, yet I get very different conclusions.

I will be starting to just lie to everyone about anything and go along with whatever the apparant consensus is, no matter how much harm I think it will do, and not matter how obvious from now on. I am bot stupid, I have leart that social conformity is more important than truth.

As a trans woman, every time something like this hits the news, it makes me absolutely miserable. Conservatives and TERFs respond with vitriol and attack all of us as a group. I'm made to feel like some viking juggernaut, perverting the youth and forcing my way into women's spaces, when I really just want a quiet happy life as a cripple who can barely walk, much less dominate at weightlifting.

The backlash against trans people is getting worse. It's why I'm stealth. I don't have to deal with the prejudice, with everyone seeing these headlines and talking points and fitting them into narratives and applying them to me. It's cowardly for me to hide, but I just can't deal. I hate being trans because of stuff like this.

> Vanbellinghen is asserting that Hubbard should not compete as a woman. Hubbard identifies as a woman. In what way is Vanbellinghen not questioning Hubbard's identity?

Women who take performance enhancing drugs are also disqualified from competing. No one is challenging their identity as a woman, just the fairness of their competing against women without that advantage. It is not a moral prohibition against consuming certain substances, but a practical prohibition because it makes competing on a level playing field impossible.

The same is true of trans atheletes. They have an advantage other women do not. Women's sports were invented precisely for that reason: natal males have an advantage that means most natal females are not competetive against them in most sports.

Personally, I fear mob violence commited with the sanction and cooperation of the state and news media. That's the sort of violence which starts, keeps going, and doesn't stop until it literally burns itself out.

In general, organized violence ends when 1) law enforcement takes decisive action to detain the perpetrators, and 2) organizers think the violence no longer serves their political goals. Both 1) and 2) were true of the Capitol insurrection, which was universally condemned and whose perpetrators were swiftly rounded up. Neither were especially true of the far-left anarchist uprisings, particularly in cities like Portland where permissive DAs let the same rioters out literally within hours of their arrest, while NPR and the Washington Post praised those who threw firebombs at courthouses and police stations. So, I expect less of the former and more of the latter.
> Having hired many folks, we never hired anyone with a certification

that means you are biased against certifications. the probability of not interviewing any candidates those having certifications along with the experience/skillset you look for is next to 0. certifications aren't only for juniors, many seniors also take them because it a proper and short way to refresh your knowledge and the challenge of these exams is just fun!

I've been using this for a day, and it's been surprisingly good. My only concern, is the grip of the Google ecosystem always seems to lure me back in.

I feel, for this Brave to truly win, they need to consider Auth, workplace tooling, and email. Attempt to match Google toe-to-toe and fight them as a platform/ecosystem, rather than a search engine.

Easier said that done, of course.
auto by default removes top level const, reference qualification, and decays arrays and function types to pointer, same as for template argument deduction [1]; this is also true when auto is used as for return type deduction.

You can use decltype(auto) to preserve the actual type of the rhs.

[1] as discussed elsewhere initializer lists behave differently, but initializer_list itself was a mistake to start with.
I also have had this thought - start people with very simple (C89) C and Scheme. When they learn data structures have them use C and scheme and show additional examples in class in Python/Java/JavaScript. When they take an AI class, they build the fundamentals in Lisp and see examples/ecosystem in Python. When they take some form of "Programming Languages" they get introduced to SML and see some Java+ANTLR. When they take Software Design I and II, they work in Java.

From that foundation, they'd have the exposure they need to expand out.

I also enjoyed the path my University took. You started with Java. Data Structures was in C++, Java, and Python. Operating Systems was in C. AI was in Common Lisp (with some examples in Java and Python). Programming Languages was in any language you wanted, but examples were mostly in C and SML (SML/NJ). Computer System Design was in HDL, Assembly, and C. Software Design I and II used Java. Requirements Elicitation and Specification used Z. Concurrent/Distributed systems I and II used Promela, SPIN, TLA, and code was in Java.

What is this even supposed to mean?

Humans are outdoor animals. Yes. Well done. A+. We even have opposable thumbs, which means we can operate door handles and make our own way outside. Or are you asking us to demolish our houses and live out in the farmland now?

We build homes for warmth and security. Even our nomadic ancestors built movable homes (tents, teepees, caravans, mobile homes, RVs etc.). Just because an animal is supposed to be outside, doesn't mean it has no benefit from access to an indoor area. The rules for survival fit animals just as much; 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. The numbers will be different, but if an animal cannot find shelter on a cold night, it's unlikely to survive (unless specifically adapted for that situation).
