You might read https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/jan/21/mary-beard-suf... or https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/09/01/troll-slayer which is about the "abuse" problem. I don't think the problem is just criticism brought about by perceptions of shortcomings in her work. As to the relative ratios, and nature of the problem, I don't know how that could be assessed.

I posted one snippet and a link. I stated why I posted the snippet. It is to set context: the blog author is aware of this abuse problem and wants to draw a contradistinction between their view and the abuse. I agree with them, and I too wish to draw a contradistinction between my view and the abuse. Also, the link is relevant here. Not every latinist agrees with the statement of the problem, there is an debate amongst latinists about the complexity of the language and nuance in the meaning of unfamiliar texts. It bears thinking about. I found it interesting, which is why I posted. I'm sorry you think my comment is pointless.

Although in hypothesis, it is tenable to argue the complaints about Prof. Beard are simply misunderstood, and in fact its legitimate debate about her thesis and lines of reasoning, I think its not solely down to this, and I don't think the problem is mischaracterised. That's informed by having read popular history works by Prof. Beard, and also read about her problems being a public TV figure.

When I joined the Mesa team at Intel in 2012, Mesa had just gained support for OpenGL 3.0, many years behind the latest. Only a few companies (Intel, VMware, Red Hat) contributed to Mesa in significant ways. Proprietary drivers were still the norm and even Intel pushed to drop Mesa.

The massive changes since then that have taken place around Mesa have been incredible to watch and to play a small part in. Mesa is now absolutely the best choice for companies and it's apparent from all of the contributors we've gained. In addition to Intel, VMware, and Red Hat, we now regularly see substantial contributions from AMD, Google, Igalia (contracting for multiple companies, notably Broadcom), Microsoft, Valve, and Collabora (contracting for multiple companies, notably Valve).

Seeing articles about Mesa in mainstream publications like PCGamer would have been unthinkable for me when I started contributing in 2012. Today, it's only a little surprising :)

Oh, and just because it's a critical component to RADV's success, here's a very recent article about NIR, the intermediate representation used in Mesa's optimizing shader compiler: https://www.jlekstrand.net/jason/blog/2022/01/in-defense-of-...

I’d take this with a hefty pinch of thorium salts.

These guys are politicians first, scientists second - you don’t ascend to the head of their respective agencies without toeing the line, and being savvy to the political climate. The current political climate says nuclear bad, because it’s a safe position for re-election - no government wants to invest in nuclear power because the optics of nuclear disasters are terrible, and because the payback time is much longer than an election cycle.

The slow death of poor air quality (fossil fuels kill millions a year) and climate change are easy to wrangle politically, because you can treat them as externalities.
Marxist here. Just like any libertarian, we acknowledge the capitalist state as a monopoly on violence, but we also acknowledge the capitalist state exists because capital maintains it. When you understand this, you quickly realize that fighting for something like a national universal healthcare program challenges the capitalist state more than anything libertarians want to do.
Frisbee? Or other sports.
You're right, of course. I was excluding people who really aren't at fault. When someone's brain turns into a vegetable he's not capable of thinking things through, so he can not be responsible for the stupid things he's doing.

Doesn't change the rest, though.

> This line of thinking requires us to pretend there is no connection between sex and gender.

No, it doesn't.

In fact, the view of gender identity as innate is perfectly consistent with viewing it as one of many sex traits (whose distribution with regard to other sex traits is itself consistent with the bimodal-but-not-binary distribution of other sex traits.)

> why are the acronyms FtM and MtF used in the trans community?

mostly, AFAICT, they aren't; it's been years since I've seen them used except by people outside of the community and/or in marketing to the trans fetishist audience.

I don't see trans people describing themselves as MtF, I see those who that label used by others would apply to describing themselves as “woman”, “trans woman”, or “(trans) woman who is AMAB (assigned male at birth)”.

> Male & female are biological sexes, not genders.

No, they are the names of both biological sexes [0] and the genders stereotypically ascribed based on sex traits. It is inconvenient that the names are identical, but they serve as both, because of historical sex essentialism in assignment of ascribed social roles. MtF and FtM refer to (imposed ascribed gender) to (gender identity and aspirational ascribed gender).

[0] arguably, though arguably the mapping of multidimensional sex traits to binary “sexes” is itself really just another system of ascribed gender.
Injecting capital doesn’t magically increase the supply of real estate.

If my goal is to hold on to a single family house and sell it for a profit later as is or with just some touch-ups, it’s still a single family residence. The speculation just increased the cost of the land.

If my goal is to tear down the single family home and replace it with a two-family home or a small apartment; that increases the supply.

Both involve speculators, but only the latter increases the supply. Why shouldn’t policy discourage the former—a market inefficiency, but a very sane local maxima—and encourage the latter?
From the original criticism, the author states how not being part of y-combinator screwed him out of being a hn darling and hampered other fund-raising efforts due to a similar product as stripe (a yc company)

But in this criticism he brushes off the benefit of being associated with yc. Is it just that it's no longer true that companies competing with yc darlings are shunned by other VC?

I have a 'slow is fast' mantra and it's definitely something that a lot of people misunderstand, willfully or otherwise.

I've often shrugged it off as the fact that going fast is exhilarating, while the effort of 'making the change easy' starts to sound dangerously like discipline. Perhaps I've downplayed the fact that A->B can sound an awful lot like A & B.
Would you call the Greek erômenos a gender role, too? Now, this would actually help make sense of the otherwise puzzling notion of 'effeminacy', which was quite important to the Classical world but tends to be disregarded nowadays. So I'm not saying that it couldn't be a worthwhile perspective, it's just not the most common one.

Musk made it clear he didn't like the way Democrats governed California so he went to Texas, where he tacitly supports draconian abortion restrictions. So he shouldn't be shocked when President Biden gives him the cold shoulder. I admire Musk a lot, but cringe a bit when he and his biggest fans act like cry babies. Grow up and accept that you reap what you sow.

Does Nomad support typical VM orchestration like OpenStack or vSphere? It seems to me that it is more of just a generic driver that will do basic tasks.
Born, raised, and never moved out of tornado alley. Work for a major university, our university wide "off-site" backups are a datacenter across the street except for critical student information that is encrypted cloud backed up. We understand fatalism with tornado sirens every 10am the first Tuesday of the month.

What I'm against isn't the cloud existing, it's your 24x7 uptime guarantee during the equivalent of Hurricane Katrina at the cost of over engineering.

If you're an engineer in that scenario, you're either running, helping clear debris, or giving first aid/supplies. Your computer is nonsense at that point and yes it's a sign of a problem if you are clinging onto your devices in such a disaster scenario.

EDIT: Just re-read, I might have gotten you confused with someone on a different thread entirely about Kubernetes... Maybe I typed on the wrong tab, oops. Your comment is about data not uptime.
It does support go to definition for trait methods. It just goes to the declaration, not the implementation.

Not ideal, but still way better than just not doing anything.
This is impossible in the USA without another civil war. The notion of states is a central part of our democratic republic, which was a compromise from the beginning. No matter how much anyone dislikes that opinion it is basically inarguable that states aren't going anywhere unless you plan on revolting and starting a new country.

I use XCP-Ng for orchestration[0] and Xen-Orchestra[1] for management, both are open-source. Xen-Orchestra is open-core but if you build from sources or use an unofficial docker image, you can get a lot of the commercial offering back for free at your own risk.

With Xen-Orchestra you manage one or more XCP-Ng Servers, combine them in pools, live migrate between hosts, patch your hosts and schedule VM backups to S3. It's a killer combination.

I agree - I am fortunate to be in a state of life where there is nothing I want that I can't afford (not because I am rich, but because I am satisfied with what we have). Another $xxx K is money that will go into a bank that I will probably never spend - not worth it to me.
Per the sibling thread, I think you’re mistaken, but that’s okay. It’s a widely written about topic and anyone can read up on it. We don’t need to hash it out here.
In the IT industry this scenario is fantastically common:

Here is a proposal. It has this HUGE upside and this SMALL downside

response: because of this HUGE downside, and the TINY upside, I reject this proposal

If they said "what if the upside wasn't as big as you stated but the downside is larger than you stated" at least you could discuss the evidence. But people love to leap on problems and devils-advocate them into the ground.

You see this all the time in IETF mailing lists. I'm not talking about nit-picking during working group last call on a standard, thats justified. People who simply want to be contrarian, take a devils-advocate stance, leap on any stated downside and on the premise its the proof, destroy the original idea, irrespective of the relative merits pro and con.

So, "we should move to Postgres because of its support of IPv6 and JSON" dies on "but the sheer amount of code we have in MySQL makes this untenable" -which is not a good argument, given the budget and willingness to incur the cost. It doesn't address the upsides of the move at all. Or "but we don't know all the places which use the old SQL forms" which is true, but presupposes we couldn't handle case-by-case the legacy calls into the old SQL binding, or find some way to uncover them.

The negative case arguments used, typically are shorthand for "I don't want to think about this"

I can't unfortunately help you with that because the accounts I'm moving both have "custom domain e-mail" set as account. However for verification it usually uses either other iDevice (so popups happen on phone etc.) and there's also option to have printed emergency access card and one can also set emergency contact details to off-icloud e-mails and phone numbers.

I'd say that getting access to account in iCloud was much easier than getting back to locked GMail account.
Yes NFTs are bullshit, crypto is a questionable ponzi scheme and blockchain might actually be usable maybe sometimes in the future.

One interesting take on radation was what I saw in a commentary piece a few months ago in WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/articles/nuclear-regulatory-council-nrc-... (mirror: https://archive.fo/LITQT)

A key passage:

> In 1957 the internationally recommended limit for radiation exposure was about 15 times the natural background radiation that people absorb from rocks and cosmic rays. Without evidence of harm from exposures within the 1957 limits, the U.S. had by 1991 ratcheted its public limits down to less than a third of natural background radiation.

It makes me question some of the people that are on the NRC. Government regulators want to err on the side of caution, as they don't want to be responsible if things go wrong. So many of these bureaucrats hold positions that likely aren't actually the optimal for society at large.
I believe the reason a lot of people are checking out is that inside companies there is an increasing disconnect between reality and what companies are saying internally. When I started working 30 years ago you went to work, did your job for 8 hours and went home. Everything was pretty straightforward. Working hours were well defined and benefits were well defined. You knew you could stay at the job for a long time. Nowadays a lot of companies inundate with a ton of propaganda and talk about culture, inclusion and blablabla. At the same time they demand more and more time and effort while offering less stability, you have to report status every day, the salary of the top guys keeps exploding while the little guy barely gets a raise.

People can see through the propaganda and become cynical. This is not only inside companies but also through entire society. I think trump's success and things like Qanon are a result of this.

Unfortunately, I can't show a picture here, but I like one example in the introduction of Wolsey's book, "Integer Programming." It provides a short example of why rounding the answer from a continuous (LP) relaxation of an integer programming problem is not sufficient or even close to the integer optimal solution.

Consider the integer program

max 1.00 x1 + 0.64 x2
50 x1 + 31 x2 <= 250
3x1 - 2x2 >= -4
x1, x2 >=0 and integer

As we can see from Figure 1.1, the linear programming solution (376/193,950/193) is a long way from the optimal integer solution (5,0).

Personally, I like this example because it demonstrates that we need to be careful when working with integer optimization problems. It's not that rounding sometimes doesn't work. Hell, we use continuous algorithms like simplex when solving for integer solutions using things like branch and bound. However, it's not the same and depending on the application it can be dangerous to assume so. This also has implications for things like machine learning because they do use optimization algorithms to find their solutions and they often are based on continuous formulations used to give discrete results. It might work, but we should be really careful when it matters most.
Theoretically now Django will adopt black.
If they are in the US they are going to pay ~30-35% depending on married vs. single for income from $300-400k (less on the first $300k). This is also all income they could invest given they don't need it to support their lifestyle. Even it it were only $50k this is huge since they could accelerate retirement because it would increase the amount they invest annually by 2-3x. It's a lifestyle choice for sure but this money would have a significant impact.
Wasn't it? I'd assume a lot of data flows into the decision making for these, even if they ignore a lot of it.

It's actually not true that wind and solar have "no waste risk". They both produce large amounts of waste, actually, some of which is toxic. Granted, it's not nuclear waste, but it's waste nonetheless.

It's also plainly not accurate to compare nuclear advocates to climate deniers. Whether nuclear is still a good option is still an entirely legitimate debate with good points to be had on both sides.

Not only that, asking this question is a red-flag for the company to disqualify you.

Employees who are obsessed with diversity and social justice often create toxic environments and can even be a legal or security liability to the company.
And this would have logistical parallels with the just-in-time inventory strategy. which imho has been a maligned in that it does trade off other risks, but it also makes for better supply chain responsiveness (if the buffers are selected correctly on the right items).

Selecting appropriate buffer sizes is critical - a good set of comparisons there is what buffer would one want for streaming a movie vs a buffer for streaming a live video meeting connection.

Much of the information we collect has a half life, or situations change and that information, while still valid, is not applicable to the issues we are facing currently. The vast majority of things we learn end up getting discarded at some point.

Think of the most recent book you read. How many of the details actually stuck with you at the moment you closed it. Now think of a book you read 10 years ago. How much of that do you remember?

I took years of mathematics and was able to do well on tests, but 40 years later I only recall the "shape" of PDE solutions and couldn't actually solve anything anymore. Instead my brain is stuffed full of arcane knowledge I need to do my job, and if I don't use it within a year, I probably need to learn it all over again.
I really dislike how people talk about waste. We can sit on it safely for a few hundred years. But people call that passing the buck. It's not if we pursue more recycling technology. It isn't if we pursue more long term storage options. I promise you that we'll advance in technology in the next 300 years. (The waste also doesn't have a feedback loop like carbon emissions do). It's naive to think we can safely store things for tens of thousands of years for civilizations that won't be able to speak our language. There's a lot of artificial constraints on this problem that people don't understand. They also seem to not understand that there's far more dangerous materials that we dump every day that don't have half lives, meaning they are forever. Lead doesn't go away. Most heavy metals are stable.

Most of the anti nuclear points that the average person knows comes from oil propaganda. The same people who brought you the "reducing your carbon footprint" propaganda. It's basically the argument for perfection. Which we know perfection is the enemy of good. Because if they can sell this notion then we'll keep doing what we've been doing because momentum is also a powerful force.
