Many Poor muslims just as many poor Indian are now getting electricity, subsidised toilets, zero balance bank accounts, direct benefits transfer for the first time under BJP rule. Many muslim women are for the first time are freed from triple talaq.

Their life is certainly far better than the muslims in Pakistan, so much so that many parts of Pakistan are revolting and claiming to want to reunite with India.

Whatever your claims of muslim persecution is mostly manufactured. In may ways the more radical elements are testing the limits of the patience of the citizens. I wish India would follow the west and start De-Arabising the muslim population, after all each community has their unique dress and culture.

Everyone is saying the PC port is a mess. Some people say it might be compatibility issues with certain hardware, but unless you think it's a huge conspiracy you surely have to admit there are swathes of players finding it unplayable on excellent machines. The critic reviews for the PS5 version are the best of the bunch.

My experiences are similar to what a lot of people are saying on Reddit, here and user review sites. Multiple different parent posters in this thread also said it but you dismissed them too. Even people who like the game are saying the graphics are poor.

I can't tell you what the actual resolutions, are but I can tell you that I can see the textures are blurry and that I can see lines on objects that would appear curved on most modern games. I can tell the same way I can tell that Horizon Forbidden West has a higher density mesh than classic Tomb Raider.

I also recently played the Demon Souls remake. It has better graphics.
From the comments elsewhere in the thread there are plainly some edge cases where it's actively useful.

Personally though I'm still on ~60Mbps download at home FWIW and feel simply no need to upgrade. Whole family can watch - independently - Netflix/Youtube/etc. No issues WFH while they do so. I'd find the upgrade to 100Mbps or 200Mbps quite cool from a tech point of view, having started with dial-up 25 years ago, but honestly I have no real need for it.

UltraHD - 4K - needs 25Mbps or thereabouts, remember.
Because “I got sick last year, stayed home, never got tested, but am certain it was COVID” puts verifiers in an impossible position.

Exactly. I also grew up with a firm belief in market efficiency and no free lunch. So, I have immense trouble believing someone like me with only basic knowledge about markets, not much money and no insider info would do well with options and futures.

> You're asking what people would do if those who couldn't get into university address the issue by building a new university, thereby increasing supply?

No, I am asking what you would do if the people discriminated against built their own power structures (out of necessity) that, due to merit, was disproportionately made up of members of their community AND produced superior results for their graduates.

Right now many people are basically ranting that Asians are performing too well, leading them to succeed well above other $GROUP.

What do you think those people will say if the discriminated group sets up structures that further reinforce their success in succeeding generations?

Segregation resulting from discriminating against a particular minority to the level that they go ahead and establish their own structures can backfire immensely.

I've seen this (and currently living it firsthand) happen, to the point that the minority group is around 1.5% of the population but holds around 10% of executive and corporate positions[1].

And of course, the 90% majority is baying for blood...

> "Celebrate," I'd assume.

Segregation is never a reason to celebrate.

[1] Last I checked, anyway, which was about a decade ago.
This is really common (and I assume to some extent costed in) when building in old cities. A building site beside my old office found a whole Viking village! (and they should definitely have known what they were getting into; there had been many other finds in the immediate area, and it was practically inevitable that there was _something_ there...)

Because it doesn't solve anything without validation of email ownership. It doesn't matter if the commit says "Jen-Hsun Huang" or "ceo@nvidia.com". The commit usually contains both (in the "name <email>" format) and both can be spoofed just as easily. The name associated with the email address of a Github account is actually harder to spoof because it requires creating an account with said email.

If people think "the" Linus Torvalds committed something just because they have a github account with the name Linus Torvalds, they're fools. Names aren't unique identifiers and they shouldn't be regarded as such.

There is something to be said got displaying the name and email address for signed commits on Github, to prevent creating an account and impersonating someone who actually signs their commits. In the default configuration, many version control systems will just add a "verified" badge to a commit if the email address of the signature matches an account with the same email address. That protection is obviously useless for unsigned commits, because there's no way to trust the author anyway, but for verified commits a clear indication of which email address created the commit makes sense. Alternatively, the github user account name could be used, of course, if such an account exists.

If you really want to find out the email address of the person who committed something, you can clone the repo and look at the git log manually, I suppose. I think hiding it was done to prevent shitty scrapers from collecting email addresses.
But not everybody can go and be slavemasters, so if you're going to pick arbitrarily who can do it, why not use race in the criteria?

Everybody can know how atoms work, and read Cicero, and figure out where on the shore a boat traveling diagonally will land if the wind is picking up at a given rate. Increasing the human knowledge pie in that way is what universities claim to do.
Agreed. People in this thread seem to want to throw out the baby with the bathwater just because it is obvious that any kind of equity solution isn't going to be solved by changing the demographics of Harvard grads.

From the POV of people in Russia suspending access to international reserves is the West defaulting on its sovereign debt. Those were liabilities owned and owed to the Russians.

The West expects to get away with it, why not Russia?

And of course with all this defaulting on liabilities going on, those other countries in debt to the West are looking on to see what happens.

The answer will be less than most fear. As is usual in these situations the fear is a greater behaviour control than the reality.

Ask HN: How to get back into engineering?
I've been an engineer for ~15 years and made the switch to product roughly 6 years ago. While I enjoy product work, I've been noticing that my true passion is still programming/SRE (mainly Python) and I'd like to get back. I fear however that most companies won't consider me,

a) because I'm a bit rusty or too old (35+)
b) I'm probably not up to date with the latest technologies.
c) I'll likely fail "LeetCode" style interviews...

Has anyone done something similar and can give me some tipps?

I wouldn't mind learning something new (e.g. node.js) and my gut feeling tells me that I should probably look into learning LeetCode-like exam questions.
This is a common misconception. “Reasonable” does have a specific meaning in many legal contexts, and courts typically have a more specific test for what constitutes “reasonable”

For example, a state that has a law which says non-competes much be “reasonable”, may be enforced by the courts as “1 year in duration and within 50 miles”.
Well, that's the thing. In my (biased) opinion, that crates doesn't have any of the problem mentioned.

- The qmetaobject crate tries to be idiomatic rust and to be used without any C++

- As far as the user is concerned, there shouldn't be any call involving C++

- It does follow the Rust multi-threading guarantees

- The License is the same as CXX-Qt

- It does support plugins: https://github.com/woboq/qmetaobject-rs/tree/master/examples...

- It uses code generation via macro
Only if stuck in Java 8, those of us in modern Java use JIT caches with PGO feedback.

If that makes you feel bad, depressed, and scare I would suggest to actively stop reading online news or taking part in online, public discussions. Your feelings have no influence with the situation, if it is creating pain there is no shame in disconnecting for some time.

Look for people or groups you can meet IRL for simple activities. In the past I found that playing board games with strangers was a really good way to have a break from the depressing events, and you can often find open boardgame groups around you by looking on meetup or similar platform.

If you feel depressed for a prolonged period of time (more than a few weeks) I would recommend you to contact a psychiatrist in your area, just by precaution. They can help you put words on your negative feelings, diagnose potential troubles you may be facing, and recommend adapted measures to support you (not necessarily medication, that's just an option). I myself went through this process during the past year or so, that has been really helpful so far to deal with my depressive thoughts, identify some patterns in my thoughts and behaviour, and mitigate the negative impact.
As the pro-plain-text post said: HTML, Markdown, JSON, LaTeX, and many other standard formats, are just plain text.
Plain text is so compelling because it's as simple as it gets, you can bring your own editor, you own your own data, and you can use version control.

Text+ is compelling because you can have images and some kind of formatting. You want to store metadata and have backlinks and tags. Ideally with the possibility of collaborative editing.

There should be a way to fuse these two.
"Everyday words become clever when spoken by clever people." - Abraham Lincoln
Is Node really that much more widepsread than dotnet, Java, or Python? Or is it more about the general experience level/knowledge of the typical JS developer, where it's more likely to have Bootcamp/self-taught experience than a formal CompSci education?
But arguably those have a single point of failure, the company owning the data. In theory Filebase is storing your data on a distributed system (that you can verify) that has no single point of failure. You can make this even more reliable by using two filebase-like providers to store the data. Thanks to IPFS you can access the data the same way and transparently use both providers so that if any single one is up you can access your data.

Of course it isn't perfect, if filebase goes bankrupt you need to scramble to get another set of pins for your data. But I think it does provide a much better system overall.

You can also imagine shifting the data around providers over time much like S3 storage tiers, maybe on provider provides cheaper storage but more expensive access, you can pin cold data there and remove it from your hot data provider. This would be completely transparent to any users.

It also provides interesting opportunities for bring-your-own storage. Users can just give my the CID and use it on my app/service. It will be around as long as they keep it alive. Or they can pay me and I can pin it for them.
There is still a lot of Python work.

This essay is actually deeper than its surface appearance, about text
versus other formats. It's about semantics and richness of content,
although I am not sure Miris fully grasps what s/he is wrestling with.

The author invokes the concept of "authenticity", and that's where it
gets interesting.

I used to set my students a question about information content in a
class on the philosophy of procedural representation.

We had a very high resolution photo of the aviation pioneer Amelia
Earhart, and a short grainy video clip of her getting into a plane and
smiling and waving.

My question was: Which one of these two media conveys more information
about Amelia?

One gave extraordinary detail of her face, eyes, and seemed to many
was a much better "fidelity" document. Others noticed that although
you couldn't see her face in the video, you could feel from her gait,
waving, body language and the way she shook hands _much more_ about
her than from the static photo.

Both files are the same size in bytes.

So which one has more "information"? Which one is more "authentic"?

Not to attempt to answer here with a deep dive into phenomenology,
but each carries a different kind of information, which can be static,
dynamic, or meta-dynamic in higher orders relative to a matrix of
assumptions that must be carried forward in parallel by the culture
that wants to decode the message later.

I like that Miris tries to explore this by questioning the richness of
text. But maybe the question doesn't hold up well under those
conditions of investigation - because one might say that a great poet
using only a few words might capture a landscape better than a
painting, but if our culture drifts toward a visual one where poetry
is no longer understood we cannot say that the medium itself degraded.
We don't need Go for that, Oberon already made that point, we got a full graphical workstation OS out of it, in 1992.
As someone who has valued being able to live alone and recently went through a breakup after living with gf for a couple years -

Makes absolute sense.

First of all, in current always-up-never-down housing market (which has been like that since i bought my apartment over ten years ago) needing to move is always risky since you're basically always buying at worse value if time has passed.

Secondly, needing to buy a new place when you've been living with friends or partner or family for a while can be a lot of work. Once you're invested with loans and stuff you need a really good reasons to change that situation.

And then again in reference to the unhealthy market- if you sell higher than you bought you pay tax on the profit. If you're buying more expensive than you're selling as well, you're taking a hit.

I've basically just decided to keep my first apartment for ever, literally no benefit to ever selling it at this point. If i move in with a partner or something I'll just use it as an office or worst case rent it out or whatever.

Fun fact - if I'd sold my old apartment when I moved in with with ex I'm not certain i could have afforded to buy it today, likely I'd have to buy something smaller or further out of town.

Living together is increasingly becoming a very risky thing, whereas owning your own apartment sometimes feels like the only safety left in life.

If your palette does not have good contrast between foreground colors 31-37 and background color 40, that's on you. If you cange the default background color to something other than 40 that's also on you - if you want the default background to be white, change the palette so that color 40 is white (instead of changing the backgound color to e.g. 47) and make the foreground colors dark enough so that they contrast well.
Binance CEO Says Blocking All Russians from Crypto Exchange Is ‘Unethical’

What about writing data in markdown format, physically on the HDD. You can use bunch of different both online and local tools which will probably stay supported in the future. There is also no problem with implementing your own markdown editor (nice side, pet project as well). I store and run small server on my RPi, accessible through my phone and desktop. If I'd like to show the text to somebody I can easily copy it as a plain text, Word format or export it to HTML or PDF.

> I would expect setting up Asian-American universities in which non-Asians need not apply to be highly illegal due to the Civil Rights Act.

Who said anything about non-Asians? I said "merit-based" and "academic-based".

Is it inconceivable that a university that accepts only on academic performance and focuses only on academic performance will end up disproportionally Asian?

[EDIT: Actually, they can make it so that the "merit" test is not in English, but a selection of Asian languages. That'd very quickly make it into an Asian-only university without specifying Capital-R Race]

> On a dark terminal you're probably more likely to use the "Bright" variants when using the default 16 color palette, but then you'll have less contrast in a light theme.

The bright theme should invert the "dark" and "light" colors.
Another take is, would you like to live in a world like that? Me, not necessarily.

But frankly, I don't believe a nuclear war is imminent. In spite of what we see in the new, Putin's army is moving on steadily and occupying more and more areas he wanted to have. At some point Ukraine will lose access to the sea. Then Putin can say, OK, I agree to peace - but he will never give the occupied areas back. And good luck getting these cities back without killing your own people - this is a completely different situation than defending a city that hasn't been captured yet.

Nuclear war would be possible if NATO decided to intervene. But they are crystal clear they will not and nukes are the only reason. Everybody is sending a lot of help, but not a single soldier (even though some individuals want to go on their own - but that's a completely different story than a military intervention).
I actually prefer that sometimes, but it's because it shows me a bit more what the game is like if you get the unedited feed. But that's also because I'm not really interested in one-upping random people on the internet, it just feels like it shows more of the stuff that might be edited out on Youtube.

I guess the analogy is the old joke/meme about the O'Reilly Javascript book, and the JS The Good Parts book sat next to it.

I'll double down: the Soviet Union represented 'sanctions' considerably worse than exist today.

So much so, that there wasn't much trade to sanction.

We have integrated economies now, there's a lot to directly sanction, we didn't back then.

Where was IKEA, Toyota, Nike, Apple, Intel etc. and their 1970's peers doing in Russia?

They were not. There just wasn't brand commercial integration. Same thing for information, services, travel, finance etc..

We'd have to shut down most of our trade now to reach the level of de-facto 'sanction' of the Soviet Union.

Bounce rate just means that someone came to your site and did not interact with the analytics DB in any other way. A user can scroll up and down 50x, stay until 29 minutes and 59 seconds, leave, and it will be a bounce. Bounce rate is a terrible leading KPI to look at. It's easy to understand and a classic vanity metric that doesn't matter. Applying an old favorite of mine: you can't pay your rent with a good bounce rate. Time on site is the same.

To combat this, you can set up scroll tracking. There are some GTM templates out there. Every time someone scrolls to a percentage of the whole of a page (for instance, 25% of the page but you can set it for pixels too), you can push data to the server. This artificially reduces bounce rate (yay?) but it gives you a much better idea of if people are actually getting anywhere in your content. It's actionable to know how far people are willing to scroll down your page.

Facebook Ads, like many platforms, have terrible placements by default that get mis-clicks that drive lots of clicks in the Facebook UI. Lots of these people click the back button before they even get to your site so analytics does not fire. A good example is an in-app ad where a user gets a reward for watching your ad. They may accidentally thumb it. Turn off all placements except Feed for FB & IG. These are the most expensive but the most reliable and highest quality for a small budget.

Ads are ruthless in the early stages unless you have a truly unique product/service and can run Google Ads. If I had a unique offering ("world's only data center ____ solution" then I would start there.

If you're a me-too company or just offering services, I would evaluate ads vs other channels like sales.
