I'm not quite sure if this is a right content for the HN.

I'd rather discuss about challenges in the production or testing process. Perhaps discuss future of the base old gen consoles (This is a first title that has quite different content between PS4 and PS5).

Discussing about game itself is polarizing, I know people hate this game, I know people love it and people don't care.

I have met people who laugh and smile about hardships and I have met people who are sour about unequivocally positive situations.

I don't think happiness is a destination, it is a path. The happy person is happy to have chosen to turn right and to have had the opportunity to so. The unhappy person is still unhappy that they have not yet found what they are looking for.

That is the decision
back in the day this was called positive discrimination. While I'm not totally against it, merit should still be a factor. That is fair to all involved. You don't want that people think you where just selected because you are a minority since that will become discriminatory very quickly

It is so, trivially; humans wrote the find/replace box in Notepad++.
I completed it months ago on my Linux desktop. It didn't crash, no bugs, all good.
Let’s imagine hypothetically there is some circuit genetically encoded in every human’s brain that gives +10% probability of agreeing with someone if they are a tall male.

Let’s also imagine hypothetically that in many situations, the speed and strength of consensus itself has value beyond the quality of the decision reached, so eg. quickly reaching a strong consensus on the 2nd-best solution would be better than fighting a drawn-out battle to reach a strained consensus on the best solution.

In this (very hypothetical) world, it’s optimal to favour, by some amount, tall males over higher-performing non-tall-males.
Ironically, if he were truly diagnosed as being on the spectrum, it could be a plus from a diversity standpoint and might increase his chances of being hired...
Recently I saw kids on the slopes learning to ski with like a braking parachute attached to torso and hands - if they spread out the hands it would open a 2sqm "wing" and they would slow down a lot, genius
I'm not great at explaining this, but let me try:

There are shades between full formal verification of literally everything and then "trust the elders". You can know a little bit about a lot and use that as a sort of statistical verification because you're basically running a monte carlo sim to find holes in the logic, if you find no holes then you can reasonably assume that the rest is true and that's not based on trust.

It's a bit like having a 500-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, once you show that most of the pieces fit together the other ones have nowhere to go any more except to fit.
I mean, peek under the covers at any minified code, and it’s a total mess. Minification tends to do that.
UE4's release notes are closer to a changelog than a set of release notes. (I used to work for Epic, so have first hand experience here).
I thought I used the internet a lot but I must be wrong if this definition is correct. I have never seen NSFW used outside of telling it is not safe for WORK. Text is always safe for work - well unless you live in a dystopia of course but then I'd think you have bigger problems than links on HN - and anything else I see marked with NSFL or a trigger warning.
Australian magpies truly are amazing birds. I recall once seeing two young magpies lying on their side and play-wrestling. [Image: https://imgur.com/CxRsLE3] When one got tired, the other kept following it around — it obviously wanted to keep on playing. And when I have lunch outside, I regularly have magpies trying to creep up on me to steal my food, though they haven’t yet figured out that it doesn’t work when I’m looking straight them. (Which takes some courage; having a magpie look down its beak at you is a fairly unnerving experience.) I am not surprised at all to hear that they can work together to remove a mere backpack.
That’s a stretch.
I am certain that a square is a rectangle. A rectangle is a 4-sided polygon with four 90 degree corners. The sides can be of equal lengths.
"he proceeded to tell me about a “plan” he had come up with to ensure he would be accepted by a good graduate school. He told me that two of his four grandparents were descended from Sephardic Jews who’d fled Spain in the 1500s. This, he said, made him “technically, part Hispanic”—and thus eligible for preferential admission to graduate-school programs.
I tried to discourage Daniel from putting this plan into action. I told him I thought it was deceptive and dishonest."

But how do they determine ethnicity when it comes to affirmative action?

Just subjective self-identity?

Visually? I.e "measuring skulls and skin colors"?

Ask your peers what they think you are and base it on that?

Need at least N generations of ancestry to some specific place?

N % DNA match common to some specific group of genes?
Certainly; that's a space bounded computation, only needing O(n) tape for n disks.
> something changed in this regard about 15 years ago

Here in Europe, I think Michael Schumacher's ski accident in 2013 changed peoples' attitudes.

When I started skiing in the mid-to-late 2000s, there was maybe a 50/50 split of helmet and non-helmet wearers on the pistes. Since the mid-2010s, it's become extremely rare to encounter anyone not wearing a helmet.

I've been skiing in three different countries in Europe this month and could count on two hands how many people I've seen not wearing a helmet among thousands with.
How about you just state your point.
Of course they do, that's even why Japan has been pretty much not allowed having an army for the past 80 years.

It is common practice, after big wars, to negotiate what newly created states can or cannot do, this was done in Europe for centuries (Belgium, Poland were often under such constraints and used as buffer zone between empires).
“Positive” discrimination is still discrimination.
I realize this is a more nuanced take on metric analysis, but the title just makes me remember that before I remapped caps lock, my most frequent use of it was to turn it back off when it had been accidentally pressed.
I don't think meaningless is the right word. The right word is racist.
A simple userscript should do the trick instead of HN changing the URL.

var nitterUrl = window.location.toString().replace('twitter.com', 'nitter.net');
window.location.replace(nitterUrl);

Though if you want to be sure you never send a single packet to Twitter, you'll have to make a script that operates on all sites and rewrites URLs in the anchor tags.

Edit: Just saw someone mention this extension which could be a better option https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect
What good are status pages if they don't report on actual outages? Same 503 error now for a while. Seems like a CDN issue.
Yeah, with a couple of huge caveats: That version lags the one I'm using massively at the moment. I'm slowly bringing it up to date. It also has a number of dependencies on my system that needs to be resolved for it to be usable for anyone else. I really should make the warnings in the README even more explicit.

E.g. if you try to split the current window, it calls a script that's just expected to be there. My current incarnation of that script uses bspc to split the current window tile (note the README is outdated enough to refer to i3wm which I switched away from a couple of years ago...). It then executes its arguments to open a second client in the open tile that attaches to the same buffer.

With respect to the syntax highlighting I don't think the version on Github is remotely up to date - I believe that variant still depends on simply lexing the visible buffer rather than cache the state, but I may be wrong. Just lexing the visible buffer was my quick and dirty starting point to have something, and works surprisingly well (but it gets imprecise and annoying if you e.g. have start of block comments moving in and out of view, hence the switch to caching the Rouge state to make it precise; the next step is to move the lexing to a separate thread in the server process instead of having the clients run it).

It's also buggy, as I fix only the bugs which bothers me...

Now that I've scared you sufficiently, if you have any questions, my e-mail is also on my profile.
If the dev used PNG / transparency they could stick to the standard rectangle and add transparent strips ^_^
Are you sure? All OOP tutorials disagree with you.
He mentions his parents were discriminated too, as not being of the right ethnicity.

So why do you state without evidence that "he is where he is due to racism"?
> decide if you wanted to lose all of the highly upvoted links

To be fair, they are already lost to a sizeable fraction of the audience now that Twitter pesters you for signing in.
>> The funny thing is that because of this English native speakers are incredibly good at understanding you even when you mispronounced words quite a bit.

Oh dear. This is really not my experience. In the first couple of years I lived in the UK it was a huge pain making myself understood by the natives, until I finally managed to approximate the local accent. I was even very frustrated that nobody seemed to make an effort to meet me half-way, in my efforts to be understood. I would often have this experience, where I'd be speaking to someone and they'd stare at me with a blank face, seemingly just waiting for me to repeat myself in case they could understand me this time around.

Among non-native English speakers I think this experience is common. Conversely, I've been able to communicate just fine with non-native English speakers who had very thick accents and spoke only broken English, exactly because both parties in the conversation were patient and attentive.

In my Master's I had a tutor from Indonesia. For me he was like the best teacher ever and I felt he made everything crystal clear and helped me really understand some hairy concepts. Then I spoke to a British friend who complained she couldn't understand a word he was saying and she hated every minute of his class.

Sometimes I think native and non-native speakers of English really speak two different languages.
It's also known as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action
But that's the phraseology. You specifically mentioned reasons / attitudes.

If this is another "dog whistle" argument, I think you need far more evidence before you smear another user what you assume their motivations are; It's possible to use terminology borrowed from right-wing parties, language is free to use - and ThalesX has explicitly stated their position.

> What is up with questioning people's mental health just to explain bluntness and lack of social tact?

For one thing, I wouldn't necessarily consider Autism or Aspergers a mental health condition. It's certainly a difference in mental functional, but unlike something like depression it's not so clear cut that it's always a negative thing.

Secondly, I think the quality of an autistic outlook on the world is very different to simply lacking social tact. It also typically includes a disregard for social norms (sometimes because they are not understood, but sometimes also because they are understood but are rejected), and a very strong sense of morality, both of which are relevant here.
is there a viable linux alternative to this?
That's one way to view it.

Personally, I think it works the opposite. The voting only gives the community so much power. Often the content starts dictating the community, not the other way around. With enough low effort and uninteresting content clogging up the chronological feed, you eventually see core- and power users migrating to other sites or communities. The community is eventually transplanted by those who seek out the kind of content that made the core community leave, perpetuating the new kind of content.

I've seen it happen to a lot of subreddits.

Although interesting, it is easy to miss the important aspects here. At the end of the day, we know there are examples of racism everywhere. It may be novel that it is employed against Caucasians in the US, but that isn't very exciting. Bad luck to the Asians too, worst of both worlds.

The problem here is that if this is systematic - and there is reason to believe it is systematic - then there is a chance that the next generation of elites (I'm thinking high level government bureaucrats, corporate executives and down the line towards more successful supervisors) might end up being measurably less competent than the last. Success at universities is treated as a signal of academic ability. If that signal is corrupt there are going to be some poor choices made. As troops are currently crossing the Russian border, it is worth reflecting that some decisions we do want the best and brightest working on.
Basketball now uses SportVU tracking data. A camera system records the game, and computer vision algorithms extract the locations of the players, and the ball, at high space and time resolution.

As opposed to all the paywalled articles that are regularly submitted to HN? Really, I don't see the difference, if anything Twitter wins out there because (1) it is free and (2) it's super easy to circumvent.
Incredibly insulting to people with depression.
That is cool, it looks like Python, how did they get it so small? Is it garbage collected? Is the interpreter entirely resident in the Arduino or does it rely on an external communication app hosting the compiler? That approach is actually underutilized in my opinion.

I gotta say that AVR Arduino hardware is almost silly by now. The Raspberry Pi Pico is probably the successor basic MCU board these days. It costs $4 retail, and has a dual ARM M0+ cpu with 264KB of ram and 2MB of SPI flash, so it can run Micropython and other relatively full featured software.

Also check out my old favorite Hedgehog Lisp: https://github.com/sbp/hedgehog

It's a functional-style Lisp dialect whose VM is 20K bytes. It uses an external ahead-of-time compiler, no resident interpreter.

That leads to some groups of people being excluded from certain selections. Culture is a thing.
Sometimes I type in just such a search and scan a couple pages of results, looking for the least “optimized” titles. The same applies to YouTube: I’m not looking for “10 secrets to …”. It takes time but I often find a decent blog or a good video in the end.

When I do find that lone blogger writing deep content, it’s like finding buried treasure amidst a sea of junk.

I could see the next level up from an adblocker as a NN trained to recognize clickbait (and SEO-optimization); it could flag that in real time and help you find the “buried treasure” of real content.
Sure, a step in the right direction, but to me it still does not meet the low bar of it really being a consideration.

I've always seen things like mindfulness and meditation as fighting a symptom. You first put people into this overworked and anxious state of mind and then offer this "fix", rather then addressing the root cause.

When people are struggling with mental health at work, reduce the pressure on output and/or give them more free time. It doesn't solve all problems but it's the most meaningful and direct action an employer can take.

If an employer cannot afford that or is simply unwilling, I'm cool with that. As long as they admit it and don't pretend to care with a cheap email.

Same with appreciating people. Give them money. Stop making it so complicated. Money talks. Nobody cares about HR points.
> The story of getting it fixed is really why people love Apple and even Amazon.

> I've had the Wifi go unreliable on an iPad. I got a Genius appointment for later that day. They confirmed the Wifi module was shot and just gave me a new device on the spot. They even offered to do the transfer for me. This sort of convenience is what gives people confidence in buying Apple products.

I'm still using Apple hardware myself, but I daresay that if Apple corporate decides not to admit fault and fix something, users will be SOL too.

Apple has never admitted fault for their shoddy MagSafe charger cable insulation, which always end up disintegrating and spewing blue stuff all over my furniture.

I've had multiple cables flake over the years, and every time I bring the the charger to a Genius bar (so far: Australia, Japan, and Singapore), they've always fallen back to "policy" and blamed it on me for not taking care of it properly.
Going with your analogy your comment seems more like "It isn't a square, it's a rectangle. 4 corners, two parallel sides, that's always a rectangle".

Maybe explain what is your problem with distinguishing these two behaviors? Are you afraid that a fix would only be applied to a subgroup? Naming patterns makes communication more efficient.
NATO and US lecturing the planet about not being an "aggressor" is kind of funny.

Putin is pretty much emboldened in playing with the rule of law because the US showed him how to trample international laws for the past 20years (Kosovo, Irak, Libya, Syria). Yeah yeah I know, invading and bombing countries when it's Washington is ok...
I believe the word you want is humbled.

Humiliated can almost never be positive, but people often conflate these two words.
Post link to nitter?
Is that different from posting a link to a webpage you found?
I strongly disagree and here’s why: your response doesn’t consider the means, which are much more important than some people still do read long-form works, and they do it on new-ish mediums like fanfic.

Yes, those traders still do exist. Same is true of the 40% of Americans that still read a book a year. But that number is falling quickly, and both my personal experience (older Gen Z) and scientific literature regarding the collapse of attention spans seems very real to me.

First of all, this article is about seed oils, not plant fats.

Secondly, does the world in which this argument exists consist only of the west? Your mention of olive oil as the exception and a “western diet” seems to indicate so given that plant fats (such as in nuts or coconut oil) have been consumed for thousands of years. Would any of this generalize to humanity?
I think it's the curiosity.

I know one guy who rushed through bachelor, master, and a PhD in mathematics in like half the regular time without ever breaking a sweat. Sometimes, you'd meet him in the cafeteria reading research papers for fun. You could mention any topic, and he'd know something related that one time he was super curious about and he spent an evening reading through Wikipedia. He's like a sponge who soaks up useful information. That made him an interesting person to be around. And it seems that it's also working exceptionally well for him career-wise.
Asperger's is classified as a developmental disorder, not a mental health issue.

I believe what's meant to be communicated is that since this would be a lifelong deficiency engaging in common social interactions, that a certain amount of leeway would be appropriate.
It should have been published anon!
That's if you assume the effect of "reverse". I'm quite happy we have a term for "racism, but against the (perceived cultural) norm" or "anti-majority racism" - which is indeed a type of racism. maybe "un-convential" would be a better word?
Out of curiosity, what do you actually use the Ruby liveloading feature for? I use Neovim, which has a similar (but less powerful) feature that allows one to live-execute Lua code (or Vimscript, I suppose). But I almost never use it outside of testing code for my configuration, because the rest of the editor's feature set suffices fairly well for text editing.
It's just a matter of how bad it can be without it. If I do hit my head without a helmet, I could suffer permanent brain damage or die. Why would I risk that, even if the risk is small, when the risk mitigation measure (wearing a helmet) is so simple and easy? (And has the side benefit of helping to keep my head warm without needing a hat or balaclava.) Without a helmet, I need to be skillful, or at least lucky, 100% of the time. A single mistake could destroy my life. With a helmet, I can absorb quite a few mistakes and walk away from them.

Your perspective just sounds like someone refusing to wear a seat belt in a car because when you were a kid they weren't mandatory or common in cars. I would hope we can agree that would be foolish.

> If you're an advanced practitioner and not doing anything crazy, the risk seems low.

It seems pretty arrogant to assume that you'll never have a bad fall just because you have a lot of experience. On top of that, you can't control other people; maybe someone less experienced than you, who is stretching their skills a little farther than they should be, collides with you and you slam your head into an icy patch. Your advanced experience might not be able to help you there.

> I learned (and taught) at a time where people didn't wear helmets.

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