Let's recap:

1. The proposal is to offer mothers a 12 months leave, at the very least as a social expectation, even better paid by a state run insurance, see e.g. unemployment, to take care of their infant children.

2. Mothers rather than fathers because mammals feed their infants with milk, and milk is produced only by mothers. Human mothers need to feed their infants every 2-3 hours. As long as breastfeeding takes place, simultaneously working a career is pretty much out of the question.

"The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants be exclusively breastfed for about the first 6 months with continued breastfeeding along with introducing appropriate complementary foods for 1 year or longer." https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/faq/index.htm

3. This arrangement will create gap years and have a measurable effect on mothers careers. Specifically their wages will be smaller compared to same age fathers.

Working the chain of reasoning backwards, anyone that axiomatically insists no wage gap should ever be measured between men and women, sadly a very popular stance, is (willfully?) ignoring the motherhood aspect. Men and women are not fully interchangeable.

I don't see where the catastrophizing charge "excluding half of the human kind from the social sphere" comes from. As stated above, there is at least one critical area in life, specifically infant care, where men and women are not perfectly equal. Not being perfectly equal does not imply men and women must be maximally different to the point of "exclusion from the social sphere".

Until we drop the pretense that men and women are perfectly equal, we are going to produce inhuman outcomes. This is not even a new observation, the ancients had the story of Procustes holding people equal by the standard of his iron bed and fixing any deviation from his equal norm via blunt force.

I play plenty of games and have a Steam library of ~400 or so games. I haven't had a Windows install in a few years. The only issues I've had with Windows games on Linux, using Proton on Steam, is that it doesn't work in Wayland (but every game I've tried works fine under X, of course I do check ProtonDB.com before buying games that don't have official Linux support).
I’m not sure about this.

Is there a good use case outside of automatic more decent assert messages? That’s nice, but…

(1) that’s far from a big problem in writing/maintaining unit tests. Isn’t the first thing you do with a failing unit test is examine the code on the call stack anyway? So this maybe saves you a click, assuming some pretty common tooling?

(2) I think you actually want to capture call stack source lines?

Not to mention, quite often the assert expression isn’t that interesting. e.g.,

var result = ComputeAnswer(“what is the meaning of life?”);
Assert.AreEqual(42, result);

The auto generated failure message would be something like: “result is expected to be 42 but was 41”

Whereas what you want is like, “ComputeAnswer(“what is the meaning of life?”) is expected to be 42 but was 41”

The style of separating the call to the code under test from the assert is pretty common, often recommended, and clean.
There is no reason for creating custom layouts to be hard (or require any physical manipulations). There just are no good apps for this.

Windows lets you modify the "locale" easily (something I do every time I install Windows) and also has MSKLC which is rather good (but could be made easier and integrated in the Control Panel).

Other OSes expect everyone to stick to a standard, nevertheless allow custom locales and keyboard layouts too, just a user-unfriendly way, begging for a 3rd party to come up with an app to make that accessible to mere mortals.
I think you have to look at that the other way around. Why would you have an inherent right to stop somebody else doing something with their own property just because it happens to be near you?
There is no YOU in youtube.

I hope these people are rounded up for the camps.

> Yes, and this is actually the problem. Without safe hardware, it is almost impossible to write safe software.

Software that attempts a hostile rowhammer attack aims to be unsafe by definition. It's not a matter of trying and failing to be safe. Rather, we're seeing that it's very difficult to build hardware and software that prevents hostile code from running amuck: if the attacker can run hostile code on your computer at all, you have already lost. That's bad news for cloud hosts and confirms what we already knew about web scripting, but doesn't seem all THAT bad for the rest of us.

Of course it's possible to build computers with no DRAM at all (i.e. only SRAM, which costs more). That is not economically sane for big servers, but might be the right thing to do for security sensitive components.
Usually the complaint is about modern designs putting form over function, but that doesn't even look good.
I like the energy you are trying to give off, but mentally disabled people don't typically have anti-satellite ballistics. Its a shame that most disabled people are considered scary. I worked with autistic children as as school requirement some years back. In many ways, they are not nearly as scary as intelligent people, but there was still cause for concern if they picked up a sharp knife, just from the unpredictability.

Regardless, this case with Russia is like your very technologically advanced friend who is destroying your art project with his reckless movement of his project around the shop. Its not cool, because if you have the ability to build a hyper-ballistic missile, you have the ability to predict the debris scatter.
Maybe ROCm support for Navi hardware is finally going to be released.
That is almost certainly what happened. Google's systems are lazy and automatic, reading into it further is trying to create patterns where none exist. Chances are he got mass reported for whatever dumb thing, valid or not, and Google's system tripped without any human review. This after all is the same company and system that banned influential YouTubers for impersonating themselves, after all.
You just described the semantic web. It’s beautiful. Now why did it fail?
My immediate thought when I read the essay was about Dream Theater and I almost jumped when I saw the reference from you. Dream Theater is my absolute favorite band for 25 years and counting, but I know people that think that they are poseurs. To me, liking Dream Theater is a good taste because it is a good signal of people and their qualities that I like. Pop music is neither good nor bad taste as this taste does not really signal anything useful to me. Driving a loud car with semi-disabled muffler on city streets is a bad taste because not only it is annoying, it perfectly signals qualities that I dislike in people.

Google Search? A knowledge repository? Literally day-by-day it becomes near impossible to find the knowledge you want by a fresh concoction of being flooded by paid-for links, incorrect web scraping/SEO spam, or downright scrubbed from the web.
> a court said he made statements that were true but that hurt someone's reputation. (Yes, this is an actual crime in Greece.)

Imagine that law in the US, or anywhere that aspires to being highly functional.
You are either being intentionally disingenuous or you are so deep in this that you don’t understand how other people think. To a lot of people, giant military-looking gun = assault rifle. And saying “actually it’s technically not an assault rifle” makes absolutely no difference. It’s not always a false claim; rather it’s a minor, irrelevant detail. Swatting it down doesn’t matter, except to the person swatting it down.
This feels like a motte and bailey.

It proves that not all sustained incompetence is malice.

But you need to prove a stronger claim: That sustained incompetence, by an actor capable of competence, and who would gain from incompetence, is not malice. But this is a case that can only be resolved in specific contexts, not in general. Because of course it's possible all the incompetence was accidental. Likewise it's possible the incompetence is being used as cover. However, it's reasonable to be suspicious in these cases.
Given that most people (even here) confuse and conflate "Strategy" and "strategic" it's no shock that people mistake metrics for Strategy.
Super sad - I love these streams
Whipple shields might succeed in protecting the important parts of the spacecraft, but the kinetic energy of the projectile is still getting absorbed no matter how great your armor is -- and if a spacecraft lacks the propulsion needed to correct its orbit afterward, then there's nothing it can do to defend itself. What good is being intact if your orbit has been irreparably destabilized? (Apart from giving crew some time to abandon a station via their "lifeboats".)
This is a false dichotomy.

"We either have perfect information or we make software that is very slow".
Maybe it was "designed to be", but in reality it isn't.

BTC has a history, so if I had 1 BTC, and you had 1 BTC, they wouldn't be equivalent.

When you deposit BTC into a Coinbase account from a gambling site, CB shuts down your account. That is irrefutable proof that BTC is not fungible.

Compare it to cash which is fungible. If you win money at a casino and deposit it at a bank, the bank doesn't know where you got the cash from.
Well all these projects seems Java/Scala codebase. I wouldn't be surprised as amount of data grew these systems would have started behaving unpredictably and unceremoniously dumped later on.

Another thing as Twitter was (still is?) big on Scala so solid working software becomes secondary to circlejerking around Scala features and products eventually would have suffered.

As a user the only Scala software I have used is Kafka and needless to say it comes across as half-assed cobbled system and not a thoughtfully designed, solid, reliable and performant system.

So Google being competitive is not a must as Twitter itself does not anything reasonable for their growing needs.
This is where an ancient Greek professor butts in and says that you need good taste in ancient Greek, but it's those damn ancient Aramaic professors who don't need good taste.

I'm just kidding. I agree that it's not fair to make such an overarching statement about academics. I guess I was trying to express that I've noticed there's a difference between academic intelligence and taste, and my HN instincts told me that blaming academics would appeal to the crowd :P. More seriously, I think there's certainly a sense of taste in academia, but it's a very particular, very niche taste, as you've described. Someone who is tapped into the taste of the crowd will not be adept at understanding the taste of the few and vice versa.
I've found it challenging to make sure that my team follows a sound process to explore the space of strategic options to achieve a given objective. I like to think of KRs as a mechanism to monitor and focus the execution of a selected path. KRs, alone, say very little about the quality of the strategic decision making process.
This is kind of ignoring that we don’t have high unemployment and our labor participation rate is nearly recovered as well.

So anyone who wants a job, basically has one. A company raising wages isn’t going to create new labor by hiring an unemployed person, they are going to move labor by hiring one of their competitors employees. This doesn’t reduce the markets labor shortage.
Try https://teams.microsoft.com. 99% of the app functionality - basically no virtual backgrounds. No install. Works as a PWA too.
To understand what’s going on, just analyze the controversy like you would analyze any street conflict in a third-world country. A petit-bourgeois MAGA chud gunned down three members of the lumpenproletarian Sturmabteilung. Now the lib bourgeoisie need to avenge their fallen clients by making an example of the Rittenator as a warning to any other members of the chud class who get the idea of emulating Paul Kersey the next time the libs sic the lumpenproles on the suburbs to punish them for political insubordination. Perfectly normal, comprehensible third-world politics.
Ever since Firefox added nonconsensual telemetry and spyware, I just stuck with the spyware browser that's way more secure.

I can't imagine pinning my hopes on such a clownshow.
Sure, the legal mechanisms around such a thing isn't too much on my mind when I'm making this argument, as ultimately I believe the government is incapable of introducing any legal mechanisms outside of the ongoing antitrust case that has the capacity to lessen the influence Alphabet has on the general public. I agree with you I think on the perspective that I certainly wouldn't want someone to attempt to legislate that YT cannot unpublish this information, or regulations on how transparent a company has to be with this information.

So yeah, from a legal perspective, it probably doesn't fall within the domain of censorship, especially since as you say, YT can fully make a case that they are attempting to remove initial bias of videos, and probably win any legal bouts with that standpoint. I would personally argue that it's not removing bias from videos as you are able to still see one side - the upvote side. Hence it feels as though the intent behind this is not to remove bias, but to remove dissent. You see a video that has 100000 likes? That must be pretty popular! However the same video could have 4-5x the amount of dislikes, and you would never know. By virtue of simply publishing any of the like/dislike information, you are giving an initial bias to users prior to seeing the content of the video if the user is able to see this prior to consuming the vid. If they truly wanted to remove initial bias, as an engineer I'd never implement this solution, but only show that information after you watch the video. Even something as simple as showing it at the end of the video could accomplish the idea of removing bias.

Of course I would be unable to argue this point really beyond what I'm doing / attempting to do here, as I have no legal experience or even really experience in debate around such subjects, I'm just an engineer that feels the need to vent a bit of dissatisfaction with the direction the web is turning. Anyways, thanks for listening a bit even if it was a bit ranty.
Aside from the incomplete picture if only tracking larger pieces, I think the other counter-intuitive part may be that there is a LOT of orbital energy before the disruption. The change in velocity applied to the debris, even though they seem significant, are small in comparison. Each piece that gets a slightly different impulse force from the event will effectively perform its own orbital maneuver, much like if they had each fired a thruster for a slightly different delta-v.

Thinking of the craft as traveling "forward" along a path with "down" towards the gravitational center of the earth, a shove "up" or "down" by the impact will change the shape of the elliptical orbit but the parts will continue to travel with about the same period. They may fly "above" or "below" each other and cross paths as their elliptical orbits reach higher and lower extremes. A shove "left" or "right" will cause the plane of orbit to start rotating and lead to interesting relative movements of the parts that separate! A shove "forward" or "back" will actually change the period of orbit, so not only will elliptical paths diverge in terms of altitude, they will potentially accumulate larger divergence in each period. A real bit of debris probably has a mixture of these component vectors in its actual delta-v.
Why does the civilized world allow Starlink then? They've proven - that with just 1,500 objects in orbit - can cause 50% of all close encounters in orbit[1]. They plan to have 10X more objects in space soon and will probably account for 90+% of close calls by then, and 100% of collisions.

This is Elon "we're training our alpha product in a production environment, thank you for dying to train the neural net" Musk we're talking about. Do think this darling of the "civilized" West gives a single nanoparticle of care to scorching space when there's shares to be pumped?

Thanks for throwing that out, because I feel like this is something I sort of knew, but also somehow always slips out of my mind. Maybe some motivated thinking going on? I do think, and maybe this is part of what you mean, but part of the good performance by say Cuba has nothing to do with say access to innovative cancer treatments, but just like cheap, easy medication and frankly nutrition.

I also think I have an impression, and maybe this is motivated thinking again, but that some of the trade off some countries have made is between these sorts of expensive, low impact interventions, vs cheap high impact interventions. Which seems like probably the right tradeoff as a country, but isn't the straight forward better across the board story that I think gets told sometimes
It'll take a few more years until these companies fixed all the bugs and address all the scalability issues.

As of today, these companies are not good enough to take on the Data Warehouse part.
There would first be 1 broadcasted on-chain transaction setting up the channel, with X of my bitcoin and Y of your bitcoin being locked up. This prevents double spend. Then, you and I pass n signed transactions between each other updating our balances Xt & Yt for each t, t+1, ...t+n. At any time, either one of us can broadcast the final transaction with the most up to date balance and unlock the coins.
Quite expensive, as in $1?

That $1 enables as many transactions as you want between party A and B, of which party B may have dozens of open channels with other nodes to facilitate routing from party A to C etc.
Glad to hear it. We're going on 10 years since Blender notionally got OpenCL support, I bought an AMD GPU on that basis, found out that the "OpenCL support" was so thoroughly dismal that it was slower than my CPU, sold my AMD card, ate the ebay fees, bought an NVidia card, ate the green tax, and got on with my work.

I had to repeat that lesson a few years later with deep learning code before it stuck.

Hopefully this time is different. I'm cautiously optimistic... but I'll let someone else be the guinea pig.
Multiple returns are a product, not a sum; in the case of (*Foo, error), you could return nil for both, or neither, which gives you four possible combinations (nil and nil, nil and an error, Foo and nil, and Foo and an error). A sum type would not let you return both a Foo and an error, just one or the other.
The internet is becoming a more paranoid place by the day.

> In March 2013, O'Keefe settled the case with Vera, paying Vera $100,000.

He tried to entrap someone for human smuggling. The guy immediately reported it to the police, but O'Keefe released edited footage anyway.

> The video releases were heavily edited to feature only the worst or most inappropriate statements of the various ACORN employees and to omit some of the most salient statements by O'Keefe and Giles. Each of the ACORN employees recorded in California was a low level employee whose job was to help the needy individuals who walked in the door seeking assistance. Giles and O'Keefe lied to engender compassion, but then edited their statements from the released videos.

O'Keefe pictured himself in stereotypical "pimp" clothes in the released footage, while actually wearing normal clothes at the time. The whole thing was clearly an attempt to extract something as damaging as possible and dress it up as an actual problem, regardless of the truth.

Even if you agree with their politics, you'd be a fool to assume anyone willing to spin what they produce like that is going to produce "neutral" videos a third party can trust as a source when they have intentionally edited them misleadingly multiple times.

Wendover Productions details FedEx's Anchorage hub here:

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=y3qfeoqErtY&t=5m50s

Anchorage is also not all that far off the Great Circle route anyway.

I recently discovered Nullschool's new (or updated) NO2 channel. This is even more effective than the SO2 channel for identifying global shipping routes. See for example (time-stamped for earlier today):

https://earth.nullschool.net/#2021/11/15/2100Z/chem/surface/...

Note that trans-pacific routes from both Seattle/Vancouver and Los Angeles/San Diego meet near Kodiak Island along the Aleutians.

I'm fairly confident those represent sea traffic rather than air, given similar traces through the Indian Ocean / Red Sea. I'm presuming relatively little air traffic traverses Suez. Similarly Panama, and traffic from Europe to South Africa.

Anchorage is located slightly north of that trace and has its own NO2 track.
It is sad the push back against sleep training. Has cost my SO and I many nights. Even if it won't work the same for everyone I do wish it didn't become taboo before we even started.
It does check for revocation. Using the developer's unique certificate ID, which, for the vast majority of developers, uniquely identifies an app. Over unencrypted HTTP.

OCSP over unencrypted http has not yet been replaced. I believe that the constellation of apps (identified by proxy by their developer IDs which are transmitted) can in a lot of cases uniquely identify a system, given a sufficient number of apps installed/used.
In my experience, you should only apply Hanlon's razor in the first instance, but not thereafter!
But this parameter is supposed to be auto-populated with the text from another parameter.

On the other hand, when using "Tree Style Tab", it looks much nicer without borders (old TST screenshots have borders, but my current version does not).
I'm convinced A/B testing done wrong is what brought us step sisters stuck in washing machines.
Agreed, I recently switched from Brave and like the UI much better than any Chromium based browser.
If you're in a situation where it's feasible to make soap, you won't need to worry about it. You'll either be in a stable community or safely isolated. In any other circumstance, soap won't be on your mind.

In a society with soap-making potential (this is a fun categorisation) you'll need materials and capability. If you're in that situation, I sincerely doubt PDFs are going to be useful unless they've already been printed and/or frequently discussed, i.e. books and stories.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs may have issues, but it's surely a useful heuristic.
> QWERTY is colloquially known as the programmers' Dvorak

[citation needed]

I use Dvorak for coding, and it works just fine. Sometimes I use layouts where holding cmd/ctrl reverts to QWERTY (so that Ctrl+C is where it is on QWERTY), but it doesn't really matter that much.

Incidentally, I once made a layout with similar ideas to this one, but based on Dvorak. I was living in France, and just needed an easier way to access French symbols. I didn't go quite as far as this - for all the diaeresis symbols I just relied on Altgr-:, then letter.

I'm a bit skeptical about some choices like placing ÿ on the same key as H. It's such a rarely used letter I'm not sure how you would ever learn that it was on that key, since there's no underlying logic to it.
You can still use them if you want, but browsers, etc. stopped supporting them a while ago. They're just kinda irrelevant except for a tiny niche now.
