> Speaking about France specifically, that's not true. People 50 years mostly knew how to recognize French from Italians.

No, a second or third-generation french of italian origins is not recognisably non-french at a glance. At best they can be recognised as "not from the area" (which in some places is still a concern, but nowhere near the same).

> is a bit like when people say asian people look all the same.

It really is not.

A second or third-generation french of african or middle-eastern or asian origin can generally be recognised at a glance.

> Also, immigrants in France 50 years ago made more sacrifices to intergrate themselves (be it Italians, North Africans or Asians). […] That is not what is happening right now. I'm not sure of the causes, but things have changed.

https://i.redd.it/7easdur0x7i51.jpg

That's from 140 years ago. It might as well be from yesterday, with the nations of origin changed.

And it's hilarious that you're now using north african immigrants as a model minority alongside asians as a cudgel to hit others.

> The immigration was also more limited at the time, which allowed some people from North Africa, especially young women, to get away from their traditions and have a better place in society.

Hundreds of thousands of italians moved to france during the first diaspora: the italian population in france went from 63000 in 1850 to 330000 in 1901 (this does not include seasonal worker). The country was barely 40 million people. And over a million non-pieds-noirs immigrated from northern africa between the 50s and 70s.
I was really excited about the "browser ballot" when that judgement came through. In the end though it appeared on tragically few installs. I never even saw it in the wild.

It was a mess for other reasons too, but it felt at the time like it represented a turning tide against anti-competitive behaviour in software.
Being dismissive of the UX of Linux isn't going to improve the market share of Linux for ex Apple people. I wish Linux was more on par because I don't like where Apple is taking MacOS.

It wasn't ten minutes, and there were way too many configuration options that I couldn't fix (like the terrible trackpad scrolling) despite best efforts that it wasn't worth it, and too many that I didn't want to bother. The point is that out of the box, the UX of the Linux UIs has historically and still does suck compared to tools that have a UX focus, and that's a deal breaker for a lot of people that I know.
This also seems to be the problem of government.
It looks like a difference of somewhere between 7,239 to 32,767 per screenful of code.
Our former GM came from IBM. Work is work; a transaction. Under our then VP of eng, he internalized that humans are social animals and work gives us an opportunity to connect with people.

For the article, I agree the term "family" is inappropriate. I also think that outside of normal hours get togethers should never be required. Schedule team building during work hours.

As for the author, I think they may be at the wrong job for them. The teams prioritize helping over their own deadlines. He can get on board and be a team player or, if that is orthogonal to their work style, they should find a better match for work.
The only way I can explain this is that by "best friend at the office" the survey means office buddy. I don't think a lot of people have actual, true friends at their workplace.
What are the risks? The only ones I know are some thrombosis risk which is tiny for the traditional Astra Zeneca vaccine in the UK. Can you list any serious risk for the mRNA vaccines that has been demonstrated or revealed?

>1 As of 4 April 2021, a total of 169 cases of CVST and 53 cases of splanchnic vein thrombosis were reported to EudraVigilance. Around 34 million people had been vaccinated in the EEA and UK by this date. The more recent data do not change the PRAC’s recommendations.

How many lives should we estimate those 34 million doses saved? This is simple math. Thrombosis sounds scary but what is more scary and mathematically favored is my unvaccinated family member whose lungs are bricks right now, alone on a ventilator with a 10-15% chance to live.
I agree that overuse of "it" is very confusing and in both the written word and in speech. Overuse of "it" is often a sign that the writer or speaker is not fully clear on the topic in their own mind.

On the other hand, "under use" of "it" can also lend friction to understanding as "under use" of "it" destroys briefness. Cognitive load increases as we wade through "under use" of "it" again and again.

A little bit of it is good. Too much of it is bad.
When the work is over, I prefer to be with my actual family.
Neat, I just remembered the quasi competition between the Si-28 sphere and the torsion balance (which I think is what they've gone with).
Wouldn't that be Apple's prerogative? There's no reason to do business in a state that's hostile to your interests or pursuits. That's not blackmail anymore than the attempted Hollywood boycott over Georgia's abortion laws a few years ago. There are plenty of well-documented violations of integrity to accuse Apple of, but using its philanthropic investments as a leverage isn't one of them.
They both offer a highly integrated platform for mobile computing. One offers devices as well, the other relegates that part to other companies, but anyone in the market for a mobile phone today effectively will pick between those two options that do pretty much the same things with similar UX. That totally looks like competition to me.
If the question is whether vaccine should go to someone who hasn’t been vaccinated or used as a booster for someone who has, it seems clear that it should go to the unvaccinated person unless the booster candidate is very high risk. But we don’t have a shortage of vaccines in the developed world, only a shortage of smart people willing to take them.

Bottom line, a booster shot reduces the chance of a variant emerging. You don’t want immunity to parts of the virus that aren’t the spike protein; that’s a waste of resources. The spike is what’s needed to reproduce.
On the topic of low-level tips: IMO it helps to always try to read one's writing as if speaking it out loud. If the text doesn't flow well when spoken, then it's not good. Like, long-winded parentheses in the middle of a sentence are not good. Sure, the text won't look like those highbrow publications where you flex your mnemonic palaces just to remember what the sentence was about when it started—but at least actual people may derive utility from the result.

For those who don't normally ‘subvocalize’ in their mind when reading, I guess actual reading aloud to themselves is an option.
> Correct. And yet, they integrated.

Because within a generation they were impossible to tell apart.

Tell me you have no idea about asian american integration without telling me you have no idea about asian american integration.
Your comment made me think how alike a 'normal' family and a 'normal' workplace really are.

Siblings (departments) compete for love (attention) from the parents (senior management). Hold a grude that they were not the favourite child (employee) and they had to make it all on their own unlike their little sister (new employee / product / competing department) who had it easy and had all the support (resources / marketplace) and help from their parents (management).

One christmas (bonus round) my brother (colleague) got the toy (a big bonus) he really wanted, and I just got a skateboard (a bonus that is the same size but I am certain is less than the other guy got). My parents (boss) obvioulsy doesnt love me (value my contribution) as much as them.
I am not really buying the lack of participation in MLPerf. Just give us the numbers, don't skirt around about 'not being made for these benchmarks'.
There is no reason unions have to represent a subset of the labor force. They could very well be spread to almost all of it. We can legislate that it you want, many countries did so.

100 000$ in New York is not at all unreasonable for many public sector workers - senior administrators, senior teachers, higher education teachers, technicians, sysadmins, programmers, lawyers, engineers, etc...

Public sector workers, especially highly educated ones, in general always lean left-wing. I'll leave it to you to figure out why someone that leans left may find it morally good to work in the public function and why highly educated people are more left wing than the average.

Race as the body type exists in the same sense car models exist. Some could argue that SUVs are superior to sport cars.

Whether race exists objectively is another question. Per some schools of buddhism, material things don't exist objectively because they lack their own substance.
That's an interesting question, since Jackson was literally developed by someone named Michael Jackson.
> I don't know how the law sees it, but it's simply illogical from the common sense standpoint.

In these cases, generally, the law acts when other parties push it. Mainly big actors. The app stores are generally build by those major actors. May be regulations will happen in several years.
These viruses didn't have characteristics of coronavirus.

Variants appeared elsewhere, but mutations and spread started near the time when vaccines started to become widely spread.

E.g. check nextstrain.org and see when alpha/delta start to mutate most and timeline of vaccines rollout. Also consider how much Pfizers efficacy has fallen. Would it have fell so much if it wasn't for mutations against evolutionary pressure from this vaccine?

I don’t think that’s an accident. Tesla undoubtedly took inspiration from Cerebras. Also, I think some TSMC processes enable this kind of wafer-scale chip, and both companies use this.
If apple prevented its licensees for the iPhone to bundle Safari rather than another browser... then this would be more applicable.

However, Apple isn't extending its dominance in the smart phone area (Apple has 53% market share of mobile devices, Microsoft had above 90% market share for intel compatible PCs https://www.justice.gov/atr/us-v-microsoft-courts-findings-f... ) to its licensees for iOS.

Apple not forcing Samsung to bundle Safari on the Samsung branded iPhones to the exclusion of Chrome.

Yes, Apple isn't licensing iOS to others and that's a key difference. Furthermore, Apple has half of the market dominance that Microsoft had in its day.
> Edit: or was that a complaint about the quality of the documentation, not the quality of the immutable collections?

Yes, sorry if that wasn't clear.
What would Uber look like if the drivers had the latitude of a contractor? Would it still be as viable business-wise?
That and open sourcing it.
My comment about Asians are that they integrated in spite of what happened during WWII
Yes, legal families can do that but most of the time it’s triggered by extreme cases. Blood families expel you much less often.

But this reminds me of the owner of Ritual coffee who had to “ban” and fire her husband from her shop because someone upset at where he parked (to do work for his wife) called him the “N-word”. And he enraged asked, did you just call me “n-word?”

So it wasn’t his doing, but a perp, but answering the perp in kind got him blacklisted by the “community[1] and professionally by his own wife.

In my younger years I tried to be a barfly, but I couldn't stand the people.
Except it turned out that doing nothing was comparable to lockdowns and herd immunity could not be reached even with vaccines.

GBD might not have helped but it wouldn't have hurt and potentially could have helped things a lot. Instead we tried to reduce infection by lockdowns which didn't work and killed a lot of elderly and risk groups.
I think GP's point is that chatroulette's article is incomplete because it doesn't analyze how gender impacts chat duration.

Like, the first question that came to me reading this was "Is there a pattern of men systematically skipping other men until they're connected with a woman?". It's a little weird the article doesn't ever address that kind of question.
Belated thank you. I've been chewing on your observations. You're absolutely right about the papercuts.

I have to ponder the (lightweight) value objects stuff. And

> you can't express "nested" emptiness

Spot on.

I dislike all the current null mitigations: nullability (question marks), @nullable, Optional<?>.

My hobby language takes a different path. All nulls are actually Null Objects (under the hood). So method chaining cannot break.

re: type classes

Ya, a nice reminder that I need to learn Haskel. Stuff like that is still beyond me. I hope innovators continue to noodle with more accessible Haskel, Ocaml, etc.

Being late in my career, I'm motivated to create a better "blue collar" programming language for 99% of the work I've done. Meaning data processing. Ingest data, mostly strings, munge stuff, spit out results.
YMMV. Having worked with AprilTags and Aruco markers, I can already see the limitations in the short video. Resilience is very good, very very, but not under strong movements and particularly any kind of motion blur (I'm looking at you, cheap webcams) (the video has quite slow movements). A decent size for the markers is also a huge requirement (around 10cm per meter from the camera. With a 4k camera I reached 2cm per meter with Aruco markers). Pose estimation is still a tricky problem and solving it is challenging at best. All of this is impressive in a very controlled environment, but can be disappointing in real world environments (and non trained users). I'm very curious how they'll solve all of these!

ps: oh and you need totally flat markers.
That's like people getting tattoos showing the name of their favorite programming language. Those always get covered over with MOM.

Why not? Should people practice blind fealty to any particular source of information? The BBC is generally pretty good, but they are not infallible.

In this case they are talking goop-science, and people are rightly calling them out.
It's not broken at all... At least not for me, being a user for several decades now. I use it at work while billing quite a lot of money so if it was breaking, I would have a massive problem. :)

I would say this though - the machine you run it on matters. The hardware matters. Some hardware runs great, other hardware will give you problems. This is due to driver support either being good or bad, not Linux itself, but the distinction is meaningless for the user.

Use a thinkpad, with Pop OS, to get you started. It will just work.

> There is political force and legal force helping keep crypto allowed in the US. We saw the power of the crypto lobby during the infra bill.

That's the point I am trying to make in this essay:

> Now, there is no willingness to regulate as long as the market is high and people make money.

If the point is not clear, I guess that's why it is poorly-written :)
CO2 isn't stored in dead trees, and forests do not just keep sequestering more and more. If you hold the number of trees constant, you're not affecting the carbon cycle. Living trees are a reservoir of carbon. If you increase the total number of trees, that increases the size of this reservoir. A forest "moving" over the course of time is a non-issue.

There are immense areas on Earth right now which were deforested within the past few centuries and are still perfectly capable of supporting forest today.
Persistent collections with structural sharing (b-trees, HAMT, RRB-vectors, …).

I can absolutely understand not using them if the implementation is intended to be simple or the systems it's running on is resource limited, but simply removing the mutation bits of mutable collections is quite limiting as it incurs large overhead when actually working with them (you have to copy the entire thing every time you want to update anything).

Unless the collections are always kept quite small: modern architectures are very good at dense arrays, so modern immutable data structures are trees of small-ish arrays (usually a small number of dozens, IIRC Clojure uses 32-wide nodes).
And yet, at some point in history all those groups you cited were "stealing our jobs" and "dangerous individuals" whose culture is incompatible with "ours". See also, the myth of the model minority: https://www.learningforjustice.org/magazine/what-is-the-mode...

@software is simply an alias for the fallback @misc, i.e., semantics are lost, no fields like different URLs for different software media (code, build artifacts, etc.), no software identifier support, etc.

Also, you can have people cite your paper on GitHub by giving them it as a preferred citation in CFF, and GitHub will render that instead of the source code.
Which is, btw, against the software citation principles [1], but caters to people who need time adapting and want traditional credit now.

Based on a high-school level understanding, the cooling requirements would be just be proportional to the surface area, nothing special. Maybe there's an added risk of physical fissures developing, but that's hard to know a priori.
Just yesterday I read some guides to instrument my IaC with a monitoring service. Their lib requires to call a flush function, but this wasn't mentioned in the guides.

Somewhere at the end of the API ref, after a list of deprecations, they mentioned the flush function.

Wouldn't have expected such important info buried that deep.
As a side-side note, I always found fascinating how you can have essentially a 6502 with display, 2 MB of memory (or more) and a USB port for a few bucks, as demonstrated here:

I often wonder why the manufacturers - besides the photoframe usage - don't sell an "open" version with some toolkit to let people have fun with these devices.

You're too humble. Did you say you have a job working with people who have giant egos and politicking? If I ever won it big, my idea of philanthropy is to give random people on the street $100 for no reason, except I have agoraphobia and can't leave the house. Is that really the best use of $50mm if I won the lottery? I don't have the attention span to do better than that, plus the effective altruism people I've met in person are all douchebags.

You understand that the NIH did the basic research on the Moderna mRNA vaccine?

The proper rabid screaming is that public research was privatized for profit, not that a public research agency is giving a veneer of respectability to a scam vaccine.

And then there's also the option of not rabidly screaming.
Julia Evans is awesome. I would wholeheartedly suggest that you buy some of her zines if you can
> Forests that don’t burn down in regular fires don’t sequester carbon long term either. Trees die and slowly rot on the forest floor, releasing their carbon back into the atmosphere.

But at the same time those old trees are rotting, new trees are growing. So long as the forest exists (as opposed to say prairie), the carbon is sequestered.
Indeed, that's what it says and it does make sense, at least to me.
The guarantee is that you have citation information for a specific research output type: software (or dataset, as defined), and that it is the output you have found the CFF file with. Unless people want to break the principle on purpose, against which no format/mechanism can do anything ;).
Some people aren’t even applying because their orgs have made it clear that remote won’t be approved, and some people are being denied for spurious reasons. (Best one I’ve seen is: personal reasons not strong enough for remote.)

So it’s not as rosy as it seems.
Probably. People would rather be chained to a machine at night than lose weight.
Just because they make both iOS and the iPhone doesn't mean they get a pass to be anticompetitive on their platform.
The word 'democracy' has its origins in the Greek language. It combines two shorter words: 'demos' meaning whole citizen living within a particular city-state and 'kratos' meaning power or rule.

It seems like a direct ballot initiative is no less democratic than an indirect representative making laws to govern the people. (I think it’s more, but it surely is not less.)

You can say you don’t like a given initiative; it’s much harder to argue that the process is undemocratic.
That's why using a framework like angular it's a bad decision (besides many more reasons)
That specifies "people with breakthrough infections". Breakthrough infections are much less likely than an infection in an unvaccinated person, so the vaccines could still be preventing spread by preventing infections in the first place.

Should these be anti-patterns? Perhaps calling something an anti-pattern is also a confusing way to explain things, or maybe that term has gone out of style now.
I'm not sure mandatory indoctrination is a healthy sign for society. Study-at-home was rather strong in France historically, due to public schools being so reactionary and authoritarian (or on the other side of the political spectrum, due to teaching sexual education and evolution), and there was an entire public institution (CNED) dedicated to that.

However in the past decades, the government's attack on home schooling has coincided with the introduction of more and more nationalist/racist doctrine in public schools.

Don't get me wrong, i'm strongly in favor of public education, as long as it's in the interest of the children (for example Montessori methods) but public schools in much of the world are the exact opposite of that.
