> I’m strictly in the Apple ecosystem but was pretty surprised when I saw a friend’s Google phone with fingerprint based biometric authentication through the screen. Hope Apple develops something similar.

That's pretty much standard on all flagship Android-based phones, and has been for some time ( i want to say around two years). It's pretty handy because your fingers are already there if you're going to use the phone ( either index if it's lying on a flat surface or thumb if it's in your hand).
I'm very suspicious of this line:

> "I’ve never been quite clear on how we’re supposed to get over centuries of judging people by their skin color or ethnicity by paying more and more attention to skin color and ethnicity."

This seems like the author fundamentally doesn't understand the difference between equality and equity.

I'll cite the Monopoly example. If you and I are 100 turns in to a game where I have been given $2000 every time I pass GO, and you have been given $2, you can't just give both of us $200 going forward and expect our inequality to be solved. For starters, I probably own all the board.

What's the solution? I don't know. But it's clear from this wording that the author is unwilling to accept relatively small concessions to fix enormous historical oppression.
...and popularity doesn't correlate with quality.
This is true when they have snotty noses, which is easy to check (hint: they did not).

Are you certain they were not technically wrong with such additional facts?
I don't very often load code "live" other than on starting a client in the form of "macros" which are pretty much stuff I don't want to add into the editor core because it e.g. might be short lived or is just too esoteric. Even though my editor is mostly for myself, imagine anything you might put in your .vimrc, except it's only self-discipline that separates this from core editor code.

E.g. I have functions in there to insert headers in my journal for example.

In terms of executing code "actually" live, it's ~80% for debugging when I work on the editor itself. Pry provides all of the plumbing so all the code needed to add that is just to suspend the editors own input handling and call pry, coupled with an exception handler that calls pry as well, so there was no reason not to, basically.

But once I'd added it, the 20% left felt worthwhile as a means of e.g. do complex searches, or generate tables or otherwise do search and replace of content that requires more (e.g. parsing timestamps and replacing them with another format....) and any number of things I don't do very often but that feels very comfortable when you do need it. To be clear it's not like it does much you can't do easily without it. E.g. after all I could just dump the buffer to a file, load it in my repl of choice, manipulate it and write it out again and reload it in my editor. It's one of those small things that feels unimportant when you don't have it there, that doesn't save you a huge amount of time, but that just makes things feel nicer when you get used to them.
I had a few that looked silly, like a floating cigarette I encountered within the first minute of playing or a car clipping into the ground or various T-posing models. But they weren't so game-changingly bad that they ruined anything for me
Thing is though, there are a lot of misshapen flags. This one is just one of the weirder ones :D

> The problem is not “the disk lost power during a write”, the problem is “I performed a write, the disk acknowledged the write, some time later it lost power”.

I don't think this is right.

There are a lot of things that can happen after the "disk" acknowledged the write that are a lot more common than a power failure (especially in a machine with batteries!) that fsync() does nothing about, so a system that gets its reliability from fsync() cannot in practice offer any more data persistence guarantees than one that doesn't.
Racism (no matter what race is targeted) is wrong and unfair to the individuals affected, but I don't think it will have any real effect on job performance because I don't think the selection processes used correlate well with performance anyway.

Going back to using race and sex as a basis for selection is immoral and unfair, but it was the norm until recently. Many of the old white men at the top of government and corporate leadership now received more help on account of their race and sex than a young black woman is likely to receive today. I'm not saying this to justify racism today, just to say that I don't think we are likely to notice any difference by swapping one privileged class for another.
I believe Obsidian uses capcitor for their mobile app, and frankly, the experience has been nothing short of amazing.
The scientists should themselves try wearing a 1-pound weight (proportional to this tracker compared to the magpie's weight) strapped to them 24-7 and unable to take it off before they make any further designs.

I do understand that this is about trying to help the magpies, but it still seems a bit hard-headed, like many other efforts to "help" those whom we're also harming with our activity.
Reverse racism is like using a regex to solve a problem ... now you have two problems :P

Sure. It wasn't clear from your post if you meant this person's condition specifically or were talking about autism in general, so just wanted to add the context in case people aren't aware.
> Are you're saying that yes, I can draw a spark from the exterior of a perfect, unbroken, hollow metal sphere containing a van de Graaff generator and some batteries, or otherwise detect that there's any electrostatic activity inside the sphere whatsoever?

I prefer to reason about the simplest cases but since you asked again: if the total charge inside an unbroken ungrounded conducting sphere is zero the field outside it will always be zero, no matter how many VdGs are inside it.

I played around 120 hours on 1.4 and I absolutely loved the game. I didn't have much bugs (almost none) but then I am running on a quite powerful box, so there is that.

That being said, I'm a bit disappointed by the release. My main grievance about Cyberpunk is the very short story line. The game can be completed in 60-70 hours. There is very little to do on the open world (except hitting on other gangs and collecting their gear). It gets boring really fast. I'd have liked if the game had 120-150 hours of story line and 30-50 hours of open world exploration.

I was expecting more quests, a stock exchange/bank, ability to buy/sell businesses, more cyberware tech or hacking puzzles.

For anyone interested: Ignore the negative reviews. The game is amazing and with a capable PC (and with 1.5) you'll have a good enough playing experience. It's not a fake sci-fi game (though it borders on that) and it's not a more realistic GTA. It has a great and challenging story that makes you go online and read and play again to figure out stuff. The public is still intrigued about the ending. It might have been annoying at first but then I figured that all GTA missions go almost linear with no surprises in between. In essence, GTA is forgettable and CP is memorable despite all the stuff it lacks.
This a community for startup founders. Each of them cultivates a personal myth that they're successful because they were smart and worked hard. They don't like to admit that the system is rigged in their favour.
Sure. But there are different connotations and implications when someone is racist against a white person vs a black person (in America). Go to another country where another race is dominant and the standards and idea of racism change. Having specific adjectives to describe different contextual racism seems useful, as not all racism is equal. Reverse racism is not the best example of a great contextual adjective though, as its meaning wouldn't be obvious to non-Americans. Though it was obvious to you, so it at least did its job. Getting upset about the term itself though is a personal choice that should be examined.
> It's just a matter of how bad it can be without it.

No, it's a matter of how bad it can be without it, but also, how likely you are to fall on your head. For instance, concussions are still common in car accidents despite the safety belt. Do you wear a helmet in your car? following your reasoning, you should.

> I really hope, for the safety of your potential students, that you don't teach anymore.

Everyone is free to decide what level of risk they're willing to take. This is true of wearing a helmet while skiing, but many activities are potentially dangerous (driving, cycling, sunbathing...) and we don't accuse people doing these activities of being foolish.

I'm not advising anyone not to wear a helmet, but as long as I don't have the obligation to do so, I won't, because I feel it's more enjoyable to not wear them.
Information such as race and sex should not even be on the application form to begin with.
SO questions by month doesn't mean it's more popular.

Whenever I search for something in React Native it's already answered in the past or has a regular React equivalent answered so I don't need to ask a new question.

Since Flutter is newer and uses a less popular language there's many more questions about Flutter. This is totally expected.

Call me tinfoil but I believe SO is really financially supported directly or indirectly to support Flutter over React Native.
I still remember the enormous backlash on Cyberpunk 2077. And yet it turns out the game was selling exceptionally well. 18 million copies so far and may be soon 20 million. The only people not happy were those expecting it to be a 30 million IP.

Of All the information I read, Graphics Asset and Design is by far the biggest spending. I dont understand why Game quality cant be better by giving more resources to Dev. What am I missing?
> What did she do?

I'm pretty sure that the US was closed to basically everyone not a US citizen during the pandemic.
This sounds like a problem for local regulators and not Airbnb. We can't expect corporate actors to operate for much more than legally attained profits. They have a fiduciary duty to do so. And many localities do regulate Airbnb. In many cases locals vote for those regulators. Don't want corporate actors who optimize for wealth? Expect conditions far worse than a neighborhood with a bunch of Airbnb units.
But isn’t every patch to a game “game-changing”?
Do you find the smartphone keeps working?

I stopped buying Samsung after two phones. About 18 months or so after I got them, some update would make things so slow I needed a new phone. Second time I figured it wasn't the phone being old, it was the update slowing it on purpose.

Other phones I've had don't seem to have this problem, updates seem to not change the speed of the UI at all. But I also don't appreciate the customised Android, there doesn't ever seem to be a benefit.
Gee, it's some complicated meta game. I agree, this division is racist. But at the same time, if you are not thinking about the races, just about what's happening, the distinction is not racist, it's just a different pattern of behavior.

To disconnect emotions something like: scientist first not including some outliers in the data set, but after having been scolded for that, adding a few random points here and there so that he's not accused of it again. Both bad, both fabricating data, but we can still talk about them naming them differently.

That said, since racism is in the name of that subgroup, I can see parent comment's point more clearly now, and yes it makes sense, at least given that name.
A must-read paper in this space is the 1998 paper by Charles Crowley, Data Structures for Text Sequences: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.48...

It explores the space from a different angle: the paper doesn't mention ropes, but it promotes a data structure called a piece table (or sometimes piece chain, piece tree, ...). These two data structure approaches are orthogonal, in that ropes can be used to implement the piece tables' descriptor sequences.

Some salient points from the paper about the advantages of the piece table:

* All buffers used are either read-only or append-only, so they are easy to cache and work well over a network.

* It follows that items never move once placed in a buffer, which is nice as pointers to items never need updating.

* Implementing undo is easy.

EDIT: this blog post is also nice: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2018/03/23/text-buffer-r...

That's far from the worst of it when it comes to national flags. Compare Indonesia and Monaco or Romania and Chad.
Citing technical definitions of a term used to critique individual humans is unhelpful and splitting hairs.

Even if I entertain your nitpicking, the former definition (lacking qualities) is still unfair.
It's hard to decide how "rich" a student is. They probably don't have much money in their own name. They may have rich parents who regularly give them money. They may have rich parents who don't want anything to do with them. They might be expecting to inherit $10 million quite soon from an elderly aunt. Or the elderly aunt might have left all her money to the local cat shelter. Even the tax authorities, with all their legal powers, can't easily answer those questions. A university certainly can't.
In the 90s and 2000s console makers still did strict quality assurance for all games on their platform, mostly as a consequence of the video game crash of 1983, which was in large part caused by bad games. Something as buggy as Cyberpunk 2077 wouldn't have been allowed. Since then those checks have relaxed considerably, basically to a level of "if it runs, you can ship it".

Could you elaborate on this one?
This story could use a bit more context. It sounds like it's a response to a question we don't know. I understand that a shopping mall was built, someone noticed a storage space that was unused, managed to access it (was it unlocked?) and secretly turned it into an almost-livable home (no plumbing is a bit a problem, though). Managed to get away with it for 4 years, and then was caught, arrested and released.

So what happened after that? Was everything thrown out again? Did anyone find a use for that space? And how did you think you were going to get plumbing in there?
I have never had a good experience with a Samsung product. From TVs to appliances they all seem to have something go wrong within the first 1-2 years. Sometimes it is minor and I can live with it, but it is everything Samsung I have ever owned. When I Google whatever the problem is it is common and there appears to be a near 100 percent faliure rate of the particular component.

As a company I can only conclude they have poor quality control or do not do rigorous long term testing.
Discriminating against a race for generations and then ignoring race in policies is NOT equal opportunity. Both the rules and the starting conditions have to be equal if the goal is equal opportunity.

As I replied elsewhere, it is strange to see another echo chamber in action. The sales number seems to be doing fine. And reviews were extremely polarised.
I would be astonished if they had a concept of privacy that could be violated by a tracking device, and even more astonished if they could somehow deduce that the device is actually sending invisible rays that contain information about their whereabouts to humans. Moreover, I've seen no evidence that tracking devices in general cause discomfort or stress, or that animals tend to try hard to remove them, before these magpies. Indeed that would defeat the whole purpose of a tracking device by changing the animal's behavior, which is why they're obviously designed so as to minimize any such change in behavior.
Kaleidos CEO here (Taiga+Penpot). It's not free at all but we want to make sure we have an honest and sustainable business model. We made stupid mistakes with Taiga a few years ago (a bad mix between an open source product and a proprietary SaaS style pricing. We have enough resources to make sure we can build great tools first without being obsessed about charging but Taiga would be straightforward. Penpot is different, though, because it is the first design&prototype tool that's open source and we are not sure what business model would make sense. Open Core focusing on great self-hosted and SaaS options plus Tax-the-rich for premium features doesn't sound too bad but, yet still, we are not entirely sure. For the time being this is not a pressing matter but the team and resources that Taiga and Penpot require are not trivial. I mean, look at the challenges that Penpot is addressing... no wonder there are only a handful of tools like this, they are extremely challenging to build. Furthermore, we want to make sure Penpot is the designers' tool of choice also for devs once they get to respect the design process.
As far as I can tell, there's really just one bug underlying most of the issues, and its that there is so much content in the game, that it messes up trying to load and unload objects. And a lot of it is failed attempts to adapt it for consoles.

Depression, like your sports analogy, is not only rooted in genetics but also in the environment. While you can act on your environment, you can't act on genetics for now. Focusing on what is in one's reach is the only thing one can do. Being certain that the cause is out of our control (while true for parts of it) is in itself something fueling depression.

I learned to snowboard at thirty having never really been on snow before (apart from non mountainous snow) we took a five day activity holiday as a group to learn. It's tough going first few days as you fall over a lot. And learning your first turns off the baby slopes can be a bit terrifying at first.

I also thoroughly recommend it.

Luckily for me I ended up living in Switzerland several years later and get to go weekends on a regular basis. I don't reckon I'll ever be as good as some of the people who grew up here doing it, but I'm competent enough to get down most slopes with proper technique and getting into a nice flow is incredibly satisfying.
>And American bees are confined to the websters dictionary rather than the oxford, which is the standard for world english. The oxford is far to large for any child to memorize.

The full Webster's (which is probably the closest to a standard for American English) is 263K entries (which Google tells me is what is used for the Scripp's spelling bee) vs. 350K for Oxford. So smaller but not that much smaller. The standard Webster's is "only" 75K but there's also a truncated version of Oxford that's 125K.

But we don't know that the developers are lacking those qualities? It's certainly possible that the only problem at CDPR and the only problem with the development of Cyberpunk 2077 is that the programmers and artists are bad (or "lacking the qualities needed for effective action"). But it's certainly also possible that the artists, developers and maybe even low-level managers are perfectly capable workers but placed in circumstances where even the most competent workers would produce a sub-par product, no?

This isn't about mincing word, this is about correctly attributing blame.
Me neither. Most recent triple A games are all filled with bugs. My guess is bad management, stressed out developers who work 10-12 hours per day while getting same payday.
I'm always conflicted when developers patch their games. It's great for us patientgamers who refuse to play videogames on release but I wonder if it actually matters to the mainstream market. Games make their sales in the first few months of release.
Instagram quietly bumps up the minimum daily time limit
I agree with you 100%. I haven't played Cyberpunk (yet) but I did finish Tsushima and just last weekend I finished Far Cry 6. At the start I usually pick the quests carefully and watch all the cutscenes. By the end I'm hammering the skip key and just want to be done with it. I wish the games were about half as long as they are.

GTA5 was probably the last big game that, when I finished the main story, I was still having fun and that's mostly because it was pretty short for a AAA game.

Katamari on the PS4 is a game that I wish I could buy more levels for. I had so much fun with that one.
This discussion ignores the whole topic of subclinical autistic traits (broad autism phenotype, or BAP for short-commonly found in close blood relatives of those diagnosed with ASD, and also among STEM professionals); and also the significantly heightened prevalence of autistic traits among people with other diagnoses (such as ADHD; personality disorders-especially BPD and ASPD; OCD; PTSD; eating disorders; the schizophrenia spectrum)-for some of those people a comorbid diagnosis of ASD may be considered appropriate, for many of them it would not be. In short: many people “seem a bit autistic” without actually “having autism” (in the sense that an ASD diagnosis would be viewed as being clinically appropriate for them).
Even cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) uses social trust when crises happen. You occasionally see forks being made when a major scam or attack has happened and most people agree that rewriting (or maybe recreating might be a better term) the history of the blockchain is acceptable.

The mathematical principles that crypto uses is ultimately just a tool to mediate human interactions. There is nothing that is set in stone; if enough people developing the block chain agrees there can always be a change of the rules and protocols of the system. You see it less with Bitcoin (which is very conservative about changing things) and more with Ethereum (which is more prone to do experiments and changes). But the potential for change is always there.

So one of the major problems I with most cryptocurrencies is about off-chain governance: that how decisions are made related to the rules of the system is incredibly opaque. How does consensus get reached among cryptocurrency developers? Is there enough communication between developers and the people using the currency, so the users can understand what are the effects of changes that are made in the system? Can users voice about concerns about the system and have the ability to change what developers do? At least Ethereum does have some formal processes on how people can submit proposals to changing the VM, but there is still a significant gap between technical contributions and the more pragmatic concerns ordinary users might have (e.x. about deflation or the POW/POS debate).

I respectfully disagree and would go far as to say that this attitude is counter productive to advancing beyond race. Any acceptance of racism should be shunned irrespective of which ethnic group is doing it. A persons characteristics should not dictate whether an action is more or less morally right.
In that case, why not call it "sanctioned racism"?
