> But is it really concurrent though?

Yes.

> Each request in the end is still processed by a single node worker which is limited to a single cpu core.

Even without worker threads it’s still concurrent, every async operation suspends and yields to the event loop. The difference is cooperative concurrency (the default Node concurrency model) and whatever concurrency you want with threads.

> Except you manage to distribute parts of the renderer to different workers in parallel. I tried that once as well, render the header, footer and body in 3 different workers. But in the end this consumed 2x as much cpu thus needing 8 workers instead of just plain 4 node servers. And the threads stepped on each other feet due workers being itself single threaded, so the 99%tile got worse/unpredictable.

Your workload very likely wasn’t CPU bound and probably benefited more from the traditional event loop. Most React use cases will be the same.

The full lyrics are pretty dark:

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamed I held you in my arms,
but when I woke dear, I was mistaken,
and I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are gray
you’ll never know dear, how much I love you,
please don’t take my sunshine away.

I’ll always love you and make you happy
if you will only say the same
but if you leave me to love another
you’ll regret it all some day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy, when skies are gray,
you’ll never know dear, how much I love you,
please don’t take my sunshine away.

You told me once dear you really loved me
that no one else could come between
but now you’ve left me and love another
you have shattered all my dreams.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy, when skies are gray,
you’ll never know dear, how much I love you,
please don’t take my sunshine away.
The not falsifiable thing is a red herring anyway: it's "not experimentally testable - yet".

This is also true of things like the Alcubierre drive, but further work has given us possible paths to rule that in or out nowadays.

The complaint always reads like a "why don't science succeed fast enough" and comes across as incredibly entitled.
Kind of. When Congress passed the Civil Rights act in the 1960s, the courts became much less aggressive in finding racial equity in the US Constitution, because it simply wasn’t necessary.

Private high schools that had segregation policies ran the risk of having their tax status revoked messed with by the IRS.

Colleges get tons of money from the federal government, which is conditional on not discriminating - and keeping federal government happy.

So private secondary schools still have a fair amount of leeway. Not infinite, but in reality they don’t have to worry about lawsuits like this.

Colleges do.
Wait... is your belief that the "indigenous population" can't get ahead because their culture doesn't value education / hard work?? I think you have grossly misunderstood both the reasoning behind Affirmative Action and the root causes of inequality.
> But if you have an ethnic prejudice, you literally have an interest against the person you are interviewing.

The original comment by throwaway_dcnt -- "Example problematic pairs for candidates/interviewers (not including the cast situation) include: Indians and Pakistanis, Serbians and Bosnians, Greeks and Turks, Chinese and Japanese." -- doesn't make any qualifications. I read it the same way that icelancer seems to: they make the determination themselves, assuming it's going to be a problem without actually establishing that it will be. If that is the case, that is literally racism.
I don't justify it, you're dodging the question.

Why do you support Hitler approach to foreign policy only because it's Putin instead of Hitler? It's something you should be asking yourself.

Your officials even call it решение украинского вопроса, "the solution to the Ukrainian question", ffs.
Microaddictions
When I was in high school, one student's parents (one doctor and one lawyer --- very financially well-off) took off work for one year just so they could claim having no income on the FAFSA documentation. She got accepted everywhere, winning across the places she applied over $300,000 in scholarships. The upper-middle class and wealthy can easily game this.

Edit: I should also add that the student and both parents were black. This probably played a large role in the offers.
For jobs that I am excited about I wouldn't mind doing a take home test as long as the project was interesting.
Can someone explain like I'm 5?

I am uncertain I understand it. Did credit Suisse actually ask to delete financial documentation to hide from the public that they have financially backed oligarchs?
It depends on the executive contract. Some of them will offer a guaranteed number of support staff of the executive’s choice (now whether the admin has to negotiate a separate contract with the exec, I don’t know) and you’ll often see admins move along with the exec from job to job.

But I don’t know if that is why the carve-out is there or not. I doubt it, but some exec contracts absolutely allow for a guaranteed support staff of the exec’s choosing.
> They may contain ... toxic chemicals

The fact that some of them don't have this problem means that the problem is a consumer protections failure, not a categorical product hazard. So you'll have to pardon me if I consider that strictly a danger of inadequate safety regulations and not a danger of protein powders. How known hazard testing of random samples of all foods sold to the public isn't mandatory at regular intervals is beyond me.
Despite the increased chances of admission, black students make up a modest 5% of the (e.g.) Harvard student body compared to Asian students and white students at 13% and 40% respectively. Ultimately, I can't justify the idea of rejecting students based on race, but when I look at those demographics I just don't see much to get worked up about. From a more cynical angle the problem almost seems like "the total percentage of black people is a few points too high". I understand that there are real people behind these statistics, but this is true no matter which racial bucket you land in.

I'll also add, the paper you linked sort of muddies the waters on your point.

> Based on complete data for three applicant cohorts to three of the most academically selective research universities, we show that admission bonuses for athletes and legacies rival, and sometimes even exceed, the size of preferences for underrepresented minority applicants.

That is to say, there is a lot going on in the admissions process, but it isn't clear to me that much is gained by insisting on a racial perspective. With all that stated, it seems obvious that Asian Americans should fight against discrimination that statistically disadvantages them based on their identity. It's unfortunate that a quality education is a finite pie we have to divvy up into thin slices.
It ignores extra-curricular activities, which are one of the best indicators of success in college.

You can, but .docx is binary (it's .zip, and the Word document itself is OpenXML)

So you won't have a neat revision history, unless you implement something in the pipelines to also convert .docx to something human readable, because .docx and OpenXML isn't.

This is the critical, falsifiable prediction, to my mind:

Putin "understands that he cannot conquer Ukraine and integrate it into a greater Russia or into a reincarnation of the former Soviet Union. He can’t do that. What he’s doing in Ukraine is fundamentally different. He is obviously lopping off some territory. He’s going to take some territory away from Ukraine, in addition to what happened with Crimea, in 2014. Furthermore, he is definitely interested in regime change. Beyond that, it’s hard to say exactly what this will all lead to, except for the fact that he is not going to conquer all of Ukraine. It would be a blunder of colossal proportions to try to do that.

"Q: I assume that you think if he were to try to do that, that would change your analysis of what we’ve witnessed.

"Absolutely. My argument is that he’s not going to re-create the Soviet Union or try to build a greater Russia, that he’s not interested in conquering and integrating Ukraine into Russia. It’s very important to understand that we invented this story that Putin is highly aggressive and he’s principally responsible for this crisis in Ukraine."
I'm guessing you live in Malaysia.

Well, one difference between America and Malaysia is that majorities of every American racial group oppose racial preferences [1]. There is support for affirmative action in the sense of removing barriers and leveling playing fields, but racial preferences are quite unpopular. Even supermajorities of Democrats oppose them. They are only popular among Democratic elites.

It can be gamed.

A long while back at University, I noticed very wealthy students on student income schemes that were only meant to be accessed by students whose parents qualified as low income status. The bar to qualify was quite difficult, if you had one parent employed in a job then it was unlikely you would qualify.

I asked how they could qualify, while almost everyone had to work part time jobs to cover costs.

It turns out their parents paid themselves a very low salary in order to qualify.
Some positive discrimination can somtimes be beneficial, but doing it based on racial group is just asking for problems.

How does it even work practically? What stops an Asian American from saying they are African American?

I wish you luck. I am in the same position. I have a working game that my friend made that I picked up and modernized and have been improving tremendously for almost a year or so (alongside my sicknesses and whatnot), but we have no clue where to begin spreading the word.

We have some great screenshots, too, and some ideas as to what else we should present on our Patreon page.

If anyone has any ideas in particular, feel free to let me know, please. :)
We think universities are trying to solve the trolley problem of whether egalitarianism means letting people rise as high as they can or if it means compensating for all the circumstances of their birth, but they're probably solving the problem of how to admit the student with the highest donation expected value first, then the student with the second highest, then the third...
yeah, it’s full throttle on domestic propaganda. it looks like NATO is eager to go to war with Russia. NATO could have avoided this war easily by giving some symbolic win to Russia, placing some sanctions and moving on. but they don’t budge which usually means real war is coming.

EDIT: what I meant was NATO prob had a way to prevent the Ukraine war but chose not to: allow Russia to veto NATO membership as they demanded but at the same time impose the same drastic sanctions on Russia. this just avoids the war in Ukraine, leaving the rest the same. the sanctions would aim to push Russia to drop its veto and other demands.

The way that you deal with ethnic bias and conflicts of interest is very different.

For example, employees are required to declare a conflict of interest. Declaring ethnic bias is a firable offense.

Imagine a mostly white business in rural Georgia where all the employees have declares they have racial bias against Black people.

As a result, they avoid hiring Black people because they don’t trust they can fairly evaluate their skills.

Realistically if you applied normal conflict of interest rules, it would be very hard to make a company more diverse.

Precisely the point.
On the flip side, the selection process (I dont think I'd call it racism).

Special admission can benefit marginalized low income communities if one of their students gets a step up. For example, a student of low socioeconomic status (or from under representative race). Let's say they qualify for a special admission. They train hard for years to become a doctor. It may be advantageous to have a doctor that can look back at where they grew up, hopefully putting resources in future to help others in their community.

Not only that, those marginalized communities can lose trust in the system, so seeing people who do 'make it' can be a motivator for others.

I do understand the predicament though. It's a shame we can't increase the number of spaces available. At some point there has to be a cut off. a hard decision to make.

But, to be honest, there are markedly different groups of people protesting in the east and the west of Germany. Both distrust towards government and right-wing ideology have been much stronger in the east, and have thus dominated large-scale public protests even before corona.

In the west, there is a small amount of right-wing supporters, but they are joined by newly converted government skeptics and fringe spiritual groups.

Eidos published an isometric game I coded in the 90s:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abomination:_The_Nemesis_Proje...

This article doesn't go into what a bitch isometric is. I remember spending a full day just on the calculation to go from 2D mouse pointer position->3D x,y,z tile position being clicked on.

And the game was supposed to be all pixel art. But then you have to render thousands of frames of bitmaps for the characters to have 8 DoF with every frame of every action they can make (walk, run, shoot, climb, etc), which adds up to a quadrillion MB of graphics. So during development it was decided the game would be 3D poly characters over 2D iso tile backgrounds. So, converting the whole game was fun. Those were the days before 3D engines really existed. The 3D engine was the one you wrote.
You say "separate compilation", but what you are really asking is whether Go supports forward-compatible shared libraries.

Go does separate compilation, it's an extremely important property for Go.

Go code can be built as a shared library, loadable by both C or Go code, albeit this is an unusual use case for Go.

However, when multiple Go shared objects are to be linked together, they must share the same Go version, including the toolchain version, so there is no forward compatibility.

A pretty sound argument can be made that the reactions of the international community are consistent with intolerance of the intolerant (in this case, a superpower that decided to invade a neighbor without cause or provocation).

The hate mail to and vandalism of innocent businesses e.g restaurants (Russia House in DC for instance) needs to stop, but RT is a state media arm and is thus complicit by nature with its parent government's decisions. Since nobody within the apparatus is choosing to rebel against state-sanctioned intolerance of another country's sovereignty, it's clear the whole organization needs to be addressed.

So Ukraine should just slowly give more and more of its territory away to Russia for free until it stops existing? The rest of the world should continue to ignore Russian aggression on foreign soil?

The Commodore Modem/300 (Model 1660)
All the Russian speaking Ukrainians are pro Ukraine and want the Russians out. So how likely do you think it is that those regions are really separatist?

Russia claims that the Russians that are fighting there are "volunteers". So basically everybody in that region knows very well who they are really fighting. Not Ukrainians but Russian "volunteers".

Ukrainians have both the time (they tasted western freedom and don't want to go back, russian troops need to be paid by the day) and the watches (javlins, stingers, US intelligence and now extra jet fighters)
The Russian state media are reporting lie after lie - see some of the real footage from the war that you can easily find anywhere online and compare to what they are reporting. You don't need to be an intelligence expert to see that the Russian media is spreading outright lies and propaganda. Stopping this propaganda is the right thing to do.

Then try and make the AA group fundamentally stronger to get better qualifications, rather than lowering the bar for them. Giving "unfair" advantages there will only bring racial tension.

It's our mission at Good Pair Days to disrupt a powerful and entrenched industry and liberate the world of wine from the aloof, the exclusive, the confusing, and the pretentious. To open up the joy of wine discovery for the novices through to the aficionados, by reimagining what the wine retail experience can be for one of the oldest consumer products on earth.

To give you an idea, one of our first products is something we like to call "Spotify for Wine". We like to think of it as providing monthly wine adventures, customised to each member's unique tastes (powered by ML), delivered to their door. Where they can learn as much (or as little) about their wines each month as they like.

We've recently split our dev teams into a platform/product setup and are looking for an experienced product engineer to help us run modern product management/delivery alongside product managers, designers and other engineers.

Our stack (not a must): Python/Django, React, React Native, GraphQL, Postgres, AWS, Netlify.

You can email me directly ("beto" at our domain name specified above and the subject line as "From Hacker News | Remote | {your country}").

Please note, this is a full-time remote position within the AEST +- 3 hours limitation.
