Huh? I'm all for calling this what it is: discrimination. But many these are private institutions. They can discriminate however they want. Also as people have been saying for a long time: standardized tests don't necessarily measure what certain educational institutions deem important.

Also for what it's worth, I encountered more cheating Chinese students in my time in college than any other race by far. They even had email lists where they'd circulate around all the test prompts and homework answers. So let's not pretend like grades and test scores are some end-all be-all of academic achievement.
The OSM data model is pretty free form, checking for things marked in one particular way wouldn't really rule out the system being used for coordination.

You cannot assume these things because of protected classes having potential issues with one another. Not all Indians have caste issues with other Indians, and excluding them on the basis of nationality/race is strictly prohibited.
It in fact reminds a bit of Angular. I'm expecting a similar revamp of Go at some point - it will share the same name but otherwise won't have to do anything with the original.
Geary[1] is one option for Linux users. It stores all messages in a giant sqlite database and models labels by "tags". It's still defintely wip though.

I do recall reading somewhere that these days Thunderbird does deduplicate messages with multiple labels, but I haven't tested whether it is indeed true.

Yeah, it's not the game that's difficult. It's having the ability to keep trying it and work it out that's difficult.

I think of it like going back in time. You walk into a boss, you die.

The game says, "Ok, what did you learn from that death"? "Oh, I shouldn't try to dodge backwards from that attack", "Ok, you're back where you started - try again".

In this regard the games feel challenging but very fair. You can fight that boss for two hours straight and you haven't lost anything (other than possibly the souls you dropped). Any death you have is your fault, and you can't blame the game because you lost an item and now you are playing with another weapon or anything like that.
Yeah! I’ so confused reading some of these comments.

Isn’t “loan” to lend money,

But then I consider $50 not that much for a software that helps you earning your salary. And it becomes tax deductable this way.

If it doesn't help your work or a free markdown editor provides you the same value, you have your answer.

As I use it for my job I consider it worth the 50 bucks. I still would prefer it to bee FOSS, though (and be willing to pay, anyway) - as then I knew even the software might be still around when the company behind it is gone.

A lot of utility with obsidian comes from the plugins from the community (e.g. excalidraw) and even though they might store their stuff also on your disk as text files, the utility of that eco system is gone as soon as one switches (or changes, or requires a different file format for the text files or whatnot)

> You have people playing these games with voice commands[1] and DDR mats[2] and whatever. If that isn't evidence this isn't a test of dexterity, I don't know what will.

I thought it's precisely the opposite: people find these kind of challenges meaningful because it is a test of dexterity that is particularly difficult to perform with such controllers.
Copy of the abstract for quick local reference:

> Using backpropagation to compute gradients of objective functions for optimization has remained a mainstay of machine learning. Backpropagation, or reverse-mode differentiation, is a special case within the general family of automatic differentiation algorithms that also includes the forward mode. We present a method to compute gradients based solely on the directional derivative that one can compute exactly and efficiently via the forward mode. We call this formulation the forward gradient, an unbiased estimate of the gradient that can be evaluated in a single forward run of the function, entirely eliminating the need for backpropagation in gradient descent. We demonstrate forward gradient descent in a range of problems, showing substantial savings in computation and enabling training up to twice as fast in some cases.

They have an implementation of the "forward gradient" for PyTorch. Is any implementation in C available?
Did you really play those games? Because what you say sounds like a second hand opinion.

You do need to pay attention to bosses patterns, but overall mechanics aren't demanding.. and most importantly - they are reused.
You have a dodge with huge amount of iframes, you can block a lot of attacks(especially in newer games) etc.
There is no need for perfection.
And you can always grind for more endurance and vitality in souls games.

Take a step back, observe the enemy, gauge the distance.. and adapt. but don't panic.

Sekiro was hard yes, but it was fair. It was more of a rhythm game to be honest, than an action one, and they added stealth as an 'equalizing' mechanic for open world content. And honestly it has a lot of tidbits that i bet most people didn't notice(Ogre being afraid of fire for one, bull being scared by firecrackers etc) that also help you greatly.

Some fights in Sekiro were really hard, but satisfying to finish - Isshin comes to the mind, and the Demon of Hatred. If some boss seemed unfair, or harsh, its because you didn't adapt to it properly - they gave you prosthetics that counter a lot of them(umbrella for block and counter, spear to pull out centipede from dead monkey, firecrackers etc). That game just punished trying to brute force it.

Also judging by how game reviewers play games(DOOM footage comes to mind).. it would be akin to listening to fresh junior JS dev opinion on state of linux codebase.

Furthermore there is a fair chance that the game just isn't made for those people. Not every product needs to work for everyone, or you'll just end up with mediocre sludge of similar games.
On the basis of race, either documented or not, is asking to eat a massive civil lawsuit and get canceled in the media for doing so.
If you've tried opening up lots of epub files (I have), you'll soon learn that there are a huge range of layouts and ugliness under the hood. Yes it's HTML, and therefore you can preserve a good portion of the knowledge even if you didn't have an ereader (though you need zip), but it would still be a pain to extract and reformat at scale.

Thanks for that. I appreciate your view. I agree that affirmative action is a very blunt instrument and best used short-term only.
@pwnallthethings on Twitter makes exactly this point and I find it quite convincing. Link below. If (and this seems increasingly likely) this war drags on, we should try to attract and welcome as many Russian mathematicians, scientists, and engineers as we can before Putin forbids them from travelling.

This is why I find the recent cancellation of many public Russian individuals concerning. We should be offering them citizenship (I exaggerate!), not shaming and dropping them. Rossophobia against normal Russian citizens is counterproductive.

No, bad actors/dictators produce extreme poverty and hyperinflation.

Too bad for the populace. Maybe they should have got off their arses and got rid of the bad guys a little earlier, eh?

Do you really think it's sanctions from the West that have turned Russian media into propaganda mouthpieces?
Yup trustless naming would be even better, gave the example of ENS because it's popular.

I think this is the point for me. I really love the concept of these games. The world building and lore is incredible but I don’t have the time to invest to make any progress. Instead any playtime is confusing and frustrating and then I have to stop before I’ve time to make and progress to counter those feelings.

A game like Jedi Fallen Order is a Souls like game and I make some headway with it before eventually throwing in the towel and switching to easy mode once I couldn’t defeat a particularly difficult boss.

Another issue is performance. These games have always been choppy and that doesn’t help.

Okay? That has nothing to do with my point. I am merely agreeing with the article's thrust that the Indian caste system probably carries over to the US, but despite that, discrimination on the basis of race for employment is strictly prohibitive due to protected class statuses.

It's true that a mathematically rigorous proof that... well... any QFT exists at all escapes us for all but extremely special cases.

But, given you've given a whole spiel about about EFTs, you can think of the lattice formulation of QCD as an EFT whose cutoff is the lattice spacing. We can compute the mass of hadrons and take the continuum limit / cutoff to infinity. And when we take that limit holding some physical hadronic observables fixed, the spectrum matches perfectly. So I think it's relatively unfair and misleading to say that because we can't do it with pen and paper we can't make any low-energy QCD predictions at all whatsoever.

What always drives me crazy about stories like the OP is that strongly coupled theories are automatically technically natural. But most phenomenologists don't like them because they, not being proficient supercomputer programmers, can't calculate anything.
Not if that people have accepted and are condoning a dictator that is causing even more pain (including to that people themselves); then they are the ultimate dipshits.
I would suggest only the wilfully naive accept universalist values as true. Feel free to propagate them onto other people, but let's at least be honest that is what we are doing.

That sounds like you're still streaming in traditional 2D with a static viewpoint being rendered somewhere in the cloud.

Full pre-rendered VR streaming would need to ship video of the entire environment for both eyes (or a reasonably large subset), and the client would be responsible for rendering your point of view. There'd be no latency that way, but the bandwidth needs would be significant given 4K per eye and a 90-degree FOV. That's on the order of 16K per eye, or 32K @ 120Hz video for static location. Add on some extra bandwidth for volumetric video to support position tracking, and you're looking at some even sillier numbers. Granted, a headset might spontaneously combust with that kind of data rate.

That's all well and good, and the policy might indeed actually work. Unfortunately it's absolutely illegal. Protected classes are not protected from just racism, but discrimination of all forms.
I'll be the first to admit I don't know a lot about nuclear power, but I'm pretty sure you're talking nonsense. To say that a nuclear power reactor uses weapons-grade uranium is akin to saying that a car works by lighting its gas tank on fire. For nuclear power you want a carefully controlled reaction, while for an explosion you want to release as much energy as possible as quickly as possible.

Now, maybe if Russia captures a reactor they could send a scientist down to repurpose its parts to make an improvised nuke, but if that's the goal, what would be the point? It's not like Russia doesn't have nukes already.

Just having plutonium and knowledge is not enough to build a nuclear weapon. No country has ever developed nukes while its main territory was being invaded. For one, even if you can build a device, you'd need to test it at least once. What would you do if you had nukes and you detected that the non-nuclear-capable country you're invading has just run a nuclear test?
>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.

Really? I find it very easy. Racial discrimination is wrong. Period. You're pointing to a social discrepancy and saying "eh, maybe racial discrimination is okay because it might make the demographics more equal." I urge you to fully consider what this entails. If we want to live in a multicultural society, we must accept that different groups have different values, preferences, and practises. We choose to allow groups to be different, so we must accept that this means groups end up in different places.

Asian parents in the U.S. exhibit high propensity to encourage that their children study more than all other ethnic groups(https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/05/110505103345.h...) (data here: https://www.bls.gov/tus/). Unsurprisingly, Asian children grow up to earn more than all other ethnic groups, and display lower levels of crime. In other words, this cultural difference results in an income and wealth disparity.

I am not of Asian descent, and I believe that a child should not be studying their childhood away. Who is right? Should I be making my children study 13 hours every week? Or should the Asian parents have their children study less? After all, if the existence of a disparity alone is morally wrong, one group must bend.

Or can we accept that different groups are different. This is indeed the premise behind multiculturalism. This will result in disparities between groups as a necessary and healthy outcome. Not something to be feared, but something to be celebrated as an expression of free will and cultural autonomy.

I love these articles where you’re not quite sure whether it’s a parody:

> Once, before our eighth meeting, I had gotten desperate enough to create a PowerPoint for him about our relationship. One of the slides said, “I cannot go on like this. Please help me.” We sat side by side at a sports bar, facing my laptop. I ordered tea; he ordered nothing. As I clicked through the slides, I noticed that he seemed to be creeping away from me.

… no, really?
One thing that folks seem to forget about noncompetes, is that there are already (and have been, for decades), laws on the books, covering theft of services, industrial espionage, etc.

These aren’t “We’ll sue you!” laws. They’re “You’re getting a cell, dude!” laws. They also cover the new employer, who would solicit and use this information.

It’s just that proving that an engineer who went to a competitor, then provided privileged information, is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming.

It’s much easier to just prevent the employee from going to a company, where they could casually reveal the information, and the new company could dilute it, making it harder to prove they got it.

And, one way to avoid a lot of these problems, is to simply pay your employees well, and treat them with respect, so they aren’t tempted to head for greener pastures.

That seems to be too big an ask, for most corporations.

> NEED HIERARCHY? Use directories — also known as folders.

I really wish I could define a custom order for files in a directory. A folder hierarchy is almost an outline, but not quite.

Are there file systems that allow for a custom order of files/folders?
Disgusted? Ukraine are at a very disadvantageous position, being attacked from all directions by a superior ( on paper) military force. Their only hope of winning ( or at least making the Russians lose) is to keep morale high, and have the majority of the population fight and resist actively the invasion. Purely militarily they're screwed, but if their population resists, the Russians have no chance of establishing control. Morale is vital. That's why Zelensky is staying in Kyiv, with grave risk for his life, to keep the spirits up.

With all that in mind, Ukraine needs every possible win it can get on the PR front. Kindergarten bombed? Kharkiv city center shelled indiscriminately? Video of random civilians on a road being obliterated by a missile? They need to tell everyone all of that, so that Ukrainians keep on fighting, and so the world keeps supporting them so there's weapons to fight with. National legends, feel good stories about superhuman successes by legendary men better than us is classic. If they exaggerate or invent some feel good/positive things, it doesn't matter. They're at a war they cannot win on military terms. The ends ( surviving) justifies the means.
> Why would I go to the company that does COL adjustments and pays me less than the one that doesn't?

All other things being equal, you don't have a reason to accept a lower offer but that's completely separate from the question of COL adjustments. If the best offer you get is from a company that has a COL adjustment policy, well... that's still the best offer that's available to you.
I am working in online marketing. I don't know the project, but in most cases you should start with Google Ads (search ads) to get new users and also setup a newsletter to keep them coming back. If you can handle social media also add this to the mix and try to get your users to follow you there. Of course this is a very simplified advice, but I am sure this direction will get you better results than FB or reddit ads.
