According to the Oxford English Dictionary, singular "they" has a long history going back to 1375.

With a little googling you can verify that Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Chaucer all used it.

I talk about encryption which cuts the confusion nicely even if it isn't a perfect replacement but I find lay people don't care about the general field of cryptography they care about privacy and from that, encryption. I've been able to get a few people onto signal for instance by going that route.

So what's going on with "threechords.com"? The root page is full of broken links to sheetmusicplus, and this page says the editor is not associated with the developer of hammerhead. I mean, that was not uncommon for freeware/shareware 20+ years ago, but just sort of a funny mish mash of things here.
Arguably there's too much of it.
They used several close range photos, not the one in the article.
When I worked for a major financial institution in a data science / analytic group there were a lot of very, very smart math types who couldn't code. They'd ask how I'd gotten my code working and I'd never lie, that many parts of it I'd fixed using SO. This was 2012-2015 when a lot of the machine learning wasn't in helpful R packages or python libraries pre-written.

Many would ask to see the page I'd read and I'd show them and they would ask how I got my code working from an example that had nothing to do with what our task was.

I think there is a lot of value to looking at a SO answer, generalizing it and making it work in your code and doing it quickly. Knowing which SO articles are junk and which ones are gems is something many take for granted but is actually something close to having the right 'gut' feeling.
In my experience the people who, when asked about the technical merits of X, immediately dive into value judgements of a “community” around it are best ignored.

If these types of people are in leadership positions, it’s too late and you need to move. If they’re below you, then you need to limit their reach and upward mobility.

Usually fair application of performance standards will flush them out anyways. Often people like that in your organization are shielded by a manager that’s protecting them.

I quit mega tech co 1 over sexual harassment and commute after a few years there. Enjoyed being unemployed for about 6 months. Then got a job at “hit startup about to ipo. That job was good and extremely lucrative, but provided little fulfillment.

Quit and did my own thing for a year. That worked out pretty well, but one man team got old. Now been working at mega tech co 2, best job of my career. Comp doesn’t match the hot startup though.

Do it, nobody cares.
Personally on big decisions I set a date 2-4 weeks out to make a decision and let it gestate in my brain. I think I've only "pulled the ripcord" once in my life on a particularly malodorous company that I worked at after I was talked down to over my decision to refuse. to sign off on something. I felt it was a safety concern until I had taken the time to fix it and check it well. It caused some friction with a big client over a delay (a few weeks), but I didn't care because above all I'm going to do what is right and what I feel pride in. Never let anyone gaslight you ever; if they don't respect you then speak up and let them know that shit is not allowed. Sure you may get fired but I guarantee you will regret not doing it for forever. Probably I got thrown off a few athletic teams in high school :)
“What employees want” isn’t really relevant. I’m sure employees also want 10x the salary. What matters is 1) can they use their brand, their balance sheet, their luxury office, or other parameters to maintain the workforce of the size and skills required to conduct their business, or 2) is in-person so much more effective than remote that they can compete in the market with fewer or less-skilled on-site workers because those workers’ output is so much better when on-site.

The West already lost

"growth" doesn't mean anything anymore when central banks can endlessly print endless amount of cash, we see the same pattern happen again and gain, the money goes up, and never goes back into the seeds of the society, it's too late, the system of using growth or GDP to tell the value of a country is outdated and proven to be wrong, it's a pure lie

US/EU stagnated, their cities rot, nobody invest in public infrastructures anymore, we don't educate our kids, even what's being built today lost all meaning, it's ugly, soul-less, we no longer build nice things ,it's about what is "cost" efficient, the west is long dead, greed and market doesn't want humankind to evolve, they don't want everyone to be prosperous, screw the future

China eradicated extreme poverty in their country in record time

While the west busy counting money, China sent a robot on the far side of the moon!

They are preparing a base for the moon

They lead fusion energy R&D

They lead stem-cells R&D

> with people putting time into thinking about how a community should work

The sort of people who try to intentionally "plan" (I.e. socially engineer) community dynamics do not have a great historical record of actually creating good communities. History is littered with failed inorganic communities - from cults and communes to web forums with overzealous mods.

Not saying that's necessarily what happened here, just that people putting a lot of thought into how to control/manage a community might be more of a negative sign than a positive one.

Yes, which is excellent.

But the start-up in a garage example was - at least, that's the way I read it - meant as there currently not being a level playing field with respect to end users, not necessarily employees. And let's be perfectly clear here: employers that are callous with their employees data are to be avoided like the plague, no matter where they are located.

As for your customers: yes, you should be careful with that data, and no, their feedback does not necessarily fall under the GDPR, only when it concerns the privacy of the individuals mentioned therein. But normally speaking such feedback would not be about such specifics but about the product itself.

Not tracking your users has a big impact on how a company is set up, what data marketing has access to, what data system administrators and sometimes even programmers have access to. Storing your data in an anonymized way can make good sense. It likely will impact your business, but leaking of that data will impact the lives of your customers more, so that's why the GDPR is written the way it is: you minimize your footprint to that which you need and you will be doing just fine.
Sincerely, much respect.

I would caution against giving to much credit to social media / leftist politicians railing against spending money on space when we can use the money on earth. These people have a loud platform but I don't think most people agree with them. Similar to how so many loud 'woke' people make you think democrats are all focused on forcing workspace equality no matter the cost or anti cop. Social media and indeed traditional media (both for and against) looking for clicks has spotlighted these people but their influence is limited amongst the majority. I think most people are excited about space and mars and all for it, understanding that creating a base on mars or the moon is a completely unrelated thing to fixing global warming here on earth. I say this as someone that votes democrat.
More likely the latter. HR usually has a mission to protect the company (project in this case). CoC and its moderation usually just serve the purpose of virtue signaling or maybe even carrying out a digital version of a struggle session, so D&I seems like a good analog.
It says several images were used. You can't generate a correct fingerprint from that blurry fingerprint picture. The data has to exist in order to reproduce it.
Unfortunately I find eBay absolutely awful to use. More often than not eBay still just looks super sketchy for basically anything I'd consider buying online. On two occasions I accidentally ordered products from China which ended up being stuck in customs. Additionally, I found the eBay app to be absolutely awful, both as a buyer and an occasional seller.

Those problems were much worse a few years ago, but instead of eBay getting significantly better, Amazon got much much worse. Amazon is being flooded with cheap knockoff Chinese products that often seem very questionable in regards of quality and safety.

For many things that I end up buying I just use a shopping search engine such as Geizhals or idealo. It is very very rare that Amazon is among the cheapest shops for any product I'm looking for

This is what Pydantic does.
There are t-shirts, stickers, pins and mugs with "crypto means cryptography" printed on them. This linguistic squabble is so well established that it has merch. But I can't begrudge publications getting an easy bit of writing out.

This fight is over. You knew it was over the second time you were talking to someone you didn't know well, were about to use the term "crypto", and paused to check in your head how they'd interpret the word. "Crypto" means "cryptocurrency", not "cryptography".

We shouldn't be surprised: there's orders of magnitude more people interested in get-rich-quick schemes than in abstract algebra.

The cryptography engineers will be happier the sooner they let this go and find some new slang for themselves.

Thanks - I knew neutron stars had some kind of "atmosphere", but I didn't realise they had layers and interlayers.

Yeah. There are serious epistemological problems to go with externalized knowledge.

Knowledge isn't just the ability to produce true statements, it isn't knowing what things are or what things will be, it's knowing why things are and why things will be.

If I keep guessing coinflips, I don't have knowledge of the answer 50% of the time even though I can predict them that often.

Knowledge has an aspect of understanding why things are, not just that they are, and that aspect becomes incredibly weak with the "look up facts on wikipedia"-model of external knowledge.

The JTB-model of knowledge is probably incomplete, but it's arguably less wrong than a model that doesn't contain justification.

If you give a Japanese writer 140 characters, they can already encode double the amount of information an English writer can. Non-storage “character”-based lengths have always been a poor estimation of information encoding so worrying about some missing graphemes feels like you’re missing the bigger problem.

I feel like people take for granted the ability to ask the right question with the right words. I get that this study is talking about general knowledge questions but I can’t tell you how many times I have tried to search for an answer for something in another field only to find that I need to find the right keywords for the question first. For example a social network in humanities is a complex network in physics is a graph in mathematics is a network in ML (but sometimes its also called a graph) this is very annoying cause all these fields have different ideas on “community identification” (clustering). I’m sure people must have the same problem for general knowledge questions as well.
Hacker News. There's an entire subreddit based off of the comments on here.
> Does anyone believe it means exclusively that?

I'd say about 90% of people believe that since they don't know cryptography is a thing. Now if you're talking to people that work in tech it's a different story, and they'd probably accept both definitions.
That’s not what the parent commenter is saying at all.

They avoid mentioning GNU/Linux in general.
All of these things are pointed in the right direction; but again, I'll believe it when I see e.g. "For the first time, 10% (low number, right) of El Salvadoreans bought their groceries with Bitcoin this month."

I encourage everyone to read the actual links in that post. I'm in no way associated with any party, but the links that supposedly give evidence for specific statements are not as clear cut as it's made out to be.

E.g. with respect to the wasm-pack both sides have reasonable arguments in the thread how I read it.

With respect to unsubstantiated accusation, that very post makes accusations of nepotism without any proof.
I wanted to implement some very specific caching rules, based on some POST parameters inside a JSON.

This seems to be possible with nginx and Lua, you extract a unique cache key from your request, and then nginx caching takes care of the rest. But in my case not out of the box or without the paid version.

So I hoped to fix that problem with YARP, but I would’ve needed to implement my own caching as a completely new middleware.

In the end I implemented the caching in the database.

From the rust subreddit, which apparently is an "unofficial space" does not want people to discuss any specifics either. Why is this discourse happening in public? They want to use public opinion to bring reforms to the Rust governance but not divulge any details?

Does Rust really have a community if noone but a few select member have access to the information regarding why things are changing and the community members can't even discuss the forbidden topics in "unofficial spaces" either. How do I decide if I an getting involved with a community or just an elite club.

Quoting from the stickied comment from r/rust moderator.

> In the interest of not hastily jumping to conclusions, we will be removing speculation that alleges that this is due to any particular individual(s). The moderation team appears to have gone to great lengths to avoid naming names, ostensibly in the service of focusing a spotlight on the core team as a whole rather than any of its members. If they had wanted to name names, they could have. I understand that it is difficult to discuss a topic without firm details, but please refrain from engaging in speculation. I have confirmation that the core team will be making a statement about this at some point, which will hopefully shed more light on the situation.

Is data entry the best way for your brain to provide value to society?

If it is, keep doing it. Achieving some extra qualifications may even be good in that scenario, so you can be valued more doing what you do.

If it's not, experiment until you find that something that gives you the best return on your time.
It can be a small business, it can be learning to code.

This proposed anti-encryption legislation by the European Commission comes from an initiative of the interior ministers of the European Council which is composed of the heads of the individual governments of the member states. It's the member nation's governments that want this, not the European Parliament.

> warn [..] to believe the core team

It's not even this, it's only "believe the core Team wrt. this specific situation" as well as a implicit "we do not believe the core Team is suited for making decisions about the personnel of the new Moderation Team Members".
All of this was quite funny to read, but I'd love to see the source on this specific part:

"AOC has said we have about 10 years until humanity is extinct."
All this fuss just to catch a few terrorists and then release them again as has happened so many times.
Sounds like the people trying to play social politics had a hissy fit because they couldn't control the people doing the actual work.

Fantastic.
Since they don't say what happened, I can only speculate.

The usual CoC violation: probably someone in the Core Team made a statement (outside the Rust community and not speaking officially) that does not align with the progressive political thinking.

You say that the larger number of men in tech with respect to women might be due to biological reasons? CoC violation, fire the enemy of the people!

You say you voted for Trump? CoC violation, fire the enemy of the people!

You say only biological women are actual women? CoC violation, fire the enemy of the people!

When there was a huge push to adopt CoCs I warned everyone I knew about the clear potential for abuse by the leftist (who also incidentally happen to be the ones to back CoCs). In particular a CoC should cover only actions performed in a community, no-one should be banned to contributing to a project because of what they write on Twitter, for instance!
Okay I'll admit, that's a good point.
While I agree with that, operating systems like macOS and Windows have shown that ease of use still beats other features when a user simply wants to 'do' something.

As good (or as bad) as the technical underpinnings can be, as long as the user gets what they want most of the time they are fine with it.

Nix is one big advantage of course and that is that is isn't a commercial endeavour beholden to markets and income. So it doesn't really matter what general users might want or think (at least not at this stage). We also still have the same problem that is always present and that is content availability. If a user wants to install a Netflix client but none is available, it doesn't matter how good the tools are. Even the best UX can't help when the desired content isn't available.
Until this has been completely cleared up I highly doubt these moderators will be welcome anywhere else. For now they are almost (but not quite) as tainted as the core team because there is of course a chance that the core team is right and they are wrong.

The price of lithium doesn't dictate the price of batteries, though.

> It didn't work in Katy Texas because they didn't build enough.

The Katy Freeway is literally the widest highway in the world.

The biggest in the world. Adding lanes doesn't help. This is not controversial.

> Improving transit would be my preferred option.

There are many solutions, and you don't have to pick just one.

Better transit. Dedicated bus lanes. Mixed zoning (so much this). Separate bike lanes. Etc.. etc..

It's not that we should force people to use the bus. It's that if you're stuck in traffic and had a magic wand that could turn 30 cars into one bus, would you use it? Well, clearly yes. Many times. Ok, so now that this driver agrees that they want other people to use the bus, it's just a matter of making the bus experience better, so that they do.

But yes, that falls under (as you say) "improving transit". But there's more.

Anyway, "Not Just Bikes" says this so much better than I could.
You know it's a crackpot theory when it's so unfalsifiable as to be absurd. You think one person--just one person--can manage the data of millions of people, the backups, the government requests, the exporting, and the IT troubleshooting? That's awfully convenient, and I expect you'll never be proven wrong and have to feel dumb for believing it.
