I agree, lots of possibilities there, making the "widespread cannibalism" theory indeed pretty weak overall: It's quite possible that neanderthals only reverted to cannibalism in times of severe famines - which are not that unlikely to happen regularly over these huge time span. And I think that would still hold for modern humans (I think some air plane crash survivors did that).

Or maybe there was some cult/religion/tradition that demanded that specific enemies (or relatives) shall be eaten to harvest their "power". Again, some of our contemporary, modern humans still did that until quite recent (IIRC there was something with brains on HN recently, and how those who ate them [primarily that societies women] contracted brain diseases from their dead).
This is woke signalling and is a kind of public performance.
I don't think so because in their 2019 diversity report they have breakdowns of Asian+, Black+, Latinx+, Native American+ and White+ in an "Intersectional workforce" chart. I think that has to do with gender and sexuality, so those shouldn't be +

Their hires and workforce representation are ~40% Asian+ but I don't think that qualifies as diversity.

I don’t have data for this, but it is probably language popular in Black and Latino Twitter communities. I’m assuming those not engaged in those communities don’t use the “x” or “+”.
So how much would you spend ?
How much would Mexico or Congo need to spend to become as safe as the us ?

Obviously the government doesn’t own the 100 trillion in wealth itself. On paper it’s net worth is negative. But us gdp is 20 trillion and tax revenue is 25% of that or about 5 trillion.

China is spending half as much as the usa after adjusting for purchasing power parity. And the us also defends the banking and market structure of the rest of the world. https://power.lowyinstitute.org/data/military-capability/def...

How long would it take for crime lords to take over control of semiconductors, commodities, and everything if defense wasn’t a priority ?

I'm Italian and I speak Spanish and Portuguese relatively fluently.

Using the term "Latinx" in my opinion is a form of cultural appropriation, because it imposes a way of using grammatical gender that is typical of the English language (think e.g. about the "singular they") upon neo-latin languages where the perception of grammatical gender is very different. In neo-latin languages such as Italian or Spanish, grammatical gender doesn't have the same weight that it has in English, e.g. when I think about "scrivania" or "armadio" (those are the Italian words for "desk" and "closet", the former is feminine and the latter is masculine) I don't imagine in my mind that the desk has feminine features, or that the closet is somehow manly. This is just not how those languages work.

Edit: when I speak English I'm absolutely in favour of things like singular they. I'm just saying that this doesn't work as well in other languages.
Is that a mistake? In the charts on this year's report, the Black Leadership % went from 2.6% to 3.0%. https://diversity.google/annual-report/representation/
This is pretty clearly just a search engine with more parameters.

I thought there was something more going on with copilot, but the fact that it is regurgitating arbitrary code comments tells me that there is zero semantic analysis going on with the actual code being pulled in.

They're not for use in real life, they're for statistical aggregation of e.g. someone who is both Black and Latino. It's a way of saying "X plus maybe also other things" rather than "X only".
Black people are currently less educated as a result of systemic racism than their Asain and white counterparts. That would make achieving 12% leadership particularly difficult, since black people are on average less qualified(on paper, at least) relative to applicants from other races.

I'll go out on a limb to defend jarland (the admin of mxroute) and say I genuinely don't think it only means 3 - 4 years here. And even if it does, $50 (or even $150) for a 3 - 4 year service is pretty darn awesome.
This is a good point. As the traditional wisdom goes: when your data indicate a signal, first suspect the validity of your data.
Invented terms. Latinx is extremely unpopular among Hispanics according to Pew Research, with just 3% using it. [1] A significant majority of Hispanics say it should never be used to describe them in any circumstance.

It's forced cultural desecration, and it's totally unwanted by the targets of the term.

It's not that simple.

The index table needs to be sparse (for the hashing to work), and thus has quite a few entries unused. It also wants to be small in memory to improve cache locality.

Therefore you want to have the entries in the index-table as small as possible.

As example, let's say you have n entries in your map which is 2/3 full. Let's assume the key and the value each take 1 word.

In the index+key+value case you would thus use:
n1.5 words for the indexes, and n2 words for the keys/values. -> 3.5 words per stored key/value.

In the key+value case you would need (2n)1.5 words. -> 3 words per stored key/value.

However, that assumes that the index-table uses a full word per entry. That's usually not the case, as you can use smaller types while the map is small enough. On 64-bit machines, the index-table will rarely use more than 32-bit arrays. In that case you would only need 2.75 words per stored key/value.

That's not really fair, though, as the value/key table has some unused space, so that it doesn't reallocate/copy every time a new key/value is added. Implementations can play with how much extra space is allocated for those unused slots.

Also, the "hash" you mentioned can be combined with the redirecting index. For Toit (the map of the blog post), the index table uses 32 bits. In these 32 bits it stores both (part of) the hash code, as well as the redirecting index.

It might be the case that the hash+key+value approach uses less memory, but I would not be confident to say that it's always the case.

Thucydides has entered the chat:

"Now he that by the arguments here adduced shall frame a judgment of the things past and not believe rather that they were such as the poets have sung or prose-writers have composed, more delightfully to the ear than conformably to the truth, as being things not to be disproved and by length of time turned for the most part into the nature of fables without credit, but shall think them here searched out by the most evident signs that can be, and sufficiently too, considering their antiquity: he, I say, shall not err....

"To hear this history rehearsed, for that there be inserted in it no fables, shall be perhaps not delightful. But he that desires to look into the truth of things done and which (according to the condition of humanity) may be done again, or at least their like, he shall find enough herein to make him think it profitable. "
I think this tendency may be related to theory of mind. A monster isn't just a danger, it is something that we have attributed with intent, desire and emotions. Those emotions just happen to be malicious. That trait helps us to conceptualise the threat, but often goes into to over-drive. And that ability is not dependent on threat, it is just intrinsic to humanity. Children in safe and happy homes still make up monsters.
I dont suppose the term was coined by Google so.. Following the same logic, LGBTQ+ doesn't refer to sexual orientation?

“Someone who thinks greed is a positive thing would also think welfare is good …”

Wouldn’t a greedy person dislike welfare because welfare is paid out of taxes that are required to be paid by that greedy person? I guess it would depend on whether the greedy person pays taxes.

Again, your argumentation is problematic and therefore hard to argue with.

Your first point depicts a fictional anecdote that tries to prove that terminally-ill patients with a positive COVID-19 test could have lived longer. It's like saying "If someone has stage IV cancer and tests positive for COVID-19, that does not mean he died due to COVID-19. Heck, he could have even died due to multidrug-resistant bacteria"

What's your source? What's mine? What does it add to the discussion to bring up fictional scenarios?

Regarding your second point: Source? How closely does excess mortality correlate with COVID-19? Could there be other causes? We are talking about highly complex situations that need to be thoroughly analyzed.

Why not just ssh to the windows side and then invoke wsl.exe. You could even set the default shell to WSL so it happens automatically. No need to mess with redirection and making sure it is online.
I cofounded a company in 2005, the primary product is a never-ending C# web-application project. As the code-base grew to many millions of lines of code I started to see the very real problems of software engineering in the OO paradigm, and had the functional programming enlightenment moment.

We started building some services in F#, but still had a massive amount of C# - and so I wanted the inertia of my team to be in the direction of writing declarative code. There wasn't really anything (outside of LINQ) that did that, so I set about creating something.

We don't write F# any more and find functional C# (along with the brilliant C# tooling) to be very effective for us (although we also now use PureScript and Haskell).

I do have a stock wiki post on the repo for this though [1]. You might not be surprised to hear it isn't the first time I've been asked this :)

At first I was like everyone else, scratching my head but then I decided that this is absolutely fascinating to me, it seems to be more like a CMS with a view layer that can be replaced more than an API. Kinda likeone of those WordPress page builder/Wix/SquareSpace type systems but it doesn't generate a HTML page, instead all the clients bring their own view layers on board. I can kinda see a few somewhat edge use cases for this -- like generating apps for your clients that they can put together like Lego, or something.

Doing something like generating an HTML body and pushing it out to clients, parsing them on mobile and using web components in the browser and then doing the same could also be interesting.
I also don't use the term "White British" to describe myself even though it is the demographic I select on surveys.

These terms are useful for demographic measurement, not for personal description. Another commenter gives a good explanation – that the + is there to include those who identify as mixed race. Latinx is used to aggregate Latino/Latina identities.

These terms are useful with even the smallest amount of interest given to why they might be. I'd encourage you to be more curious rather than jumping to the conclusion that this stems from some cultural over-sensitivity.
Ruby, Ruby on Rails, React, jQuery, Vue, Svelte, Vagrant are terms I’ve never heard a regular person use in real life. The former in particular seems like needless kid gloves and bastardization of language.
It’s because it’s the kind of story Facebook groups want to share. Just like the ‘only the hairdresser customers that didn’t wear a mask got infected’ story of a few months ago. Never mind of course that the masks were supposed to be protecting not the wearer but the others.
Another example is ncode Glyohworks, which was used by a very large company I used to work for, for test data post-processing.
Google does track orientation of employees. They have a breakdown of intersectional hiring in their 2019 report. It may be voluntarily reported.

Not even speaking about languages without gendered nouns. :) Sometimes I use she instead of he or the other way around, and the listeners likely don't realize that I have to pay extra attention using he/she when talking about people because my mother tongue doesn't even have a similar concept whatsoever.

Anyway, we know that most of the time it's not about actually respecting the other person.
Think this applies to a lot of searching for accuracy in mythology. It's a bit like the attempts to connect rather abstract and ahistorical flood myths with specific post Ice Age deluges. Maybe the Epic of Gilgamesh was a >10,000 year old oral tradition describing the end of the Ice Age... or maybe it was just that massive flood was about the most tangible way for humans building civilisations on flood plains to imagine the gods destroying everything.

I must in turn question your literacy: Have you ever opened a newspaper? They all have their obvious bias. Seen TV? obvious bias. Famously the ZDF was founded after Adenauer had enough of the ARDs leftist bias. Nothing of that is new, and you have to be purposefully ignorant or illiterate to not see it. Of course it has become a fashion to only decry a bias in media of the opposing creed, calling the agreeing media fair and unbiased. But I would think that people can see through that...

As to the legal situation around Baerbocks book: Even if it were legal, it still is a political screwup of the highest magnitude. Why? Because now she is in one tradition with the likes of Guttenberg, Schavan, Giffey and others.
It's not a hierarchy, and they don't add up to 100%, so there is double-counting. I just did the math on one of the rows from the report using the + labels and that row added up to 104.6%, so we can deduce that 4.6% of people fit into two categories (or maybe slightly less than that including people that fit into 3 or more categories).
The left hates Rogan for 2 reasons:

1) he won't agree with them slavishly, and won't filter his guest selection either, thus platforming non-leftists (Rogan is actually an old-school Liberal, but not leftist/Marxist)

2) his audience numbers dwarf leftist hosts, which literally is unthinkable to them - their heads explode.

(Pelosi acts like a rabid pit bull chasing Trump for a similar reason to #2 - Trump can draw 500,000 supporters (and 89 million Twitter followers) to rallies, while Biden got around 15 people to his last two pre-election road appearances.)
Legalize drugs so they are cheap and easily available, and then people will fuck you because they like you, not because you have the expensive drugs they want.

Actually, if you just legalize all the victimless crimes, making a living as a criminal is going to be a lot harder than just getting a job.

> some people from underrepresented backgrounds have said they continue to feel unwelcome in the tech industry, and they also remain high in demand elsewhere as companies compete to increase diversity.

This is dangerous territory to comment on perhaps, but it seems like many policies which seek to boost individual company population ratios to be significantly higher than the comparable tech-industry ratios are prone to this problem.

Competing for talent and working hard to ensure that underrepresented group members have a fair shot? Should be standard practice and a baseline of ethical corporate and human behavior.

Competing specifically for underrepresented group members with a metrics-driven goal to boost ratios at one specific company above the relevant benchmark? Not obviously good to me.

We do have a diversity problem in tech, no doubt. That’s observable from the industry-wide figures. Moving an underrepresented group member from industry company A to industry company B doesn’t change that industry-wide measure at all, which should be obvious but seems to escape mention.
I have studied Spanish and am currently studying Portuguese (my partner is Brazilian) and I think about this a lot. I would take the other side of the bet here. I would bet that this deeply ingrained gendering of objects does show up elsewhere and influence attitudes. Surely there have been studies on this? Of course I respect your experience as a native speaker and the fact that you know more native speakers than I do, but right now we're just battling anecdotes.
I was wondering if it was just internet bias that made “latinx” look unpopular, but no - it’s pretty unpopular in real life as well.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latinx

> Surveys of Hispanic and Latino Americans have found that most prefer other terms such as Hispanic and Latina/Latino to describe themselves, and that only 2 to 3 percent use Latinx.[1][2] A 2020 Pew Research Center survey found that roughly three-quarters of U.S. Latinos were not aware of the term Latinx; of those who were, 33% said it should be used to describe their racial or ethnic group, while 65% said it should not.[3][2]

Honestly, with support that poor I’m not sure why you’d bother.

(Aside, but iOS doesn’t even recognize latinx as a word)
According to this[0] people can self-identify as "Black+" so if it's purely racial how could people self-identify as that?
