Because you're wrong. The lingua franca of the air is English. I've heard ATC recordings in multiple countries and they're all in English, including ones between non-native English speakers. If you come on this frequency and you don't speak French, you have no context at all for what's going on. It's incredibly dangerous and it shouldn't ever happen.
Are you asking if excluding people is okay if it's the right group of people?
Affirms big selling point, other than offering the checkout flow credit option which reduces bounce rates, is that they have "better" ways of determining if someone can be lended to. Even if a consumer can't qualify for a credit card, Affirm will still cut them a loan.

How true that second claim is and whether Affirm is merely yet another predatory lender, I will leave as an exercise to the reader.

Every time a company does something perceived as good, there is always some commenter reminding people that it's not altruism. Similarly, every time someone posts a link to a postmortem from a large tech company, there are always some commenters who say that it's being done for PR reasons. So what?

Just be happy companies are doing things you want. Don't expect it to be done for altruistic reasons on top of that. It's unreasonable to expect a business to do things for non-business reasons.

Market demand and/or legislation are the main reasons changes like this happen, and that's the way market economies are supposed to work, and that's fine.

Because doing so is a terrible practice, and I'm saying this as someone who is not a native english speaker.

The communication between the tower and the plane is not just for their benefit. Everyone else is on the same frequency, listening in, and needs to be able to understand what is going on. Not everyone is going to be able to understand french, while everyone flying in controlled airspace is going to understand english.

that's exactly why I do the free 0% for 1 year on big payment plans. Let me keep my money in my investments longer. Yes I do have the money, but I don't want to easily give it up. Paypal just introduced like a 'spread the payments out for 3 months' options with 0% interest. Its awesome stuff.
Never fear, Emacs approach is pretty great. It uses a gap-buffer, which is conceptually an array with a space that moves around with the insertion point. It's pretty cool approach because, it's simple, there's very little bookkeeping overhead and moving around the gap is gonna generally be cheaper than shifting around the whole array and minimize complete re-allocations. In other words it's good for what we do the vast majority of the time with a text editor which is jump around reasonably size files making small edits.

One downside, relative to this conversation, is it doesn't make working with pathologically large files a lot better. Without further optimization a gap buffer could push your box into swap if you open a large enough file.
I am curious why you think 'real-time' risk modelling in particular might be deficient? For the record I agree, but my issues are with fintech lenders desire to lend out money too freely (models that are designed to pump lending #'s, not repayment).
I get spam from both sides of the spectrum. I find it amusing that right-spam is mostly "Democrats are going to destroy your family!" or "Don't let trump down!" and left-spam is mostly "We are so scared because {bad thing has or will happen}"

I myself am further to the left than the dems, so I vote with them. I find their messaging so spectacularly weak. They are always trying to guilt people into supporting through this narrative of "we are weak and about to get crushed, save us." I find it so off putting, I wish we had other viable parties and could get rid of FPTP so we don't have to constantly select between these two.
You're in very good company.

My daughter is off to study civil engineering this summer and has a particular interest in traffic engineering. This isn’t an ivory tower concern, it’s a real engineering discipline because roads need to be built and planned in the real world. In that world, the real one, you need to be able to talk about the reasons why you are or are not building a road here or there and the effect that will have so that real people can drive on them.

French military radio procedures also have specific pronunciations to disambiguate words. The fact that it is not used (assuming it is not) in ATC radio is not a feature of the French language.
Lambda cost is invocation time * memory size pretty much.

Is it normal to do a chargeback against a loan provider? I was under the impression that it’s more for “services rendered” type of situations — which the lender fulfilled by providing the loan. I would expect there to be pure chaos if I did that to any of my lenders. I’ve just never heard of this sort of situation so I’m curious as to what the financial wisdom is.
I avoid bikeshedding by spending most of my time yak shaving.
It always blows my mind when people cite sources that contradict the argument they're using the source to support. Their link to the article they're using to say "very few Black people are shot by police" has an entire section header called "Black Americans are killed at a much higher rate than White Americans".

After seeing that, I stopped reading, because if someone thinks an article that says Black people get shot more is a reason to say Black people get shot less... then I can't assume they have any idea what they're talking about in general.
I'm afraid you're the one who is wrong. Yes, when a common language is needed, it is English, but native languages are explicitly allowed by EU law.

I just visited a traffic control room in Spain and an air traffic controller told me that Spanish and Latin American pilots speak Spanish to them (not only for landing flights, but also for transit flights say from Argentina to Germany while overflying Spain), and the same thing is practiced in France and Italy. So I am not sure you are right about "really not supposed to".
I have a question about cities in North America. I know you don't have many apartment buildings, the urban sprawl etc. In fact I studied a bit of urbanism so I got the gist of it (I think).

But I always wonder why don't you have more smaller supermarkets closer to where people lives, instead of larger ones that require so long trips. I guess it wouldn't make it walkable, because cities are not designed like that, but it would be a 5 minute trip maybe.

In my mind that is probably more efficient. People may come more often, so more opportunities for cross selling, real state is probably cheaper and the only downside I see is that would probably require more labor.

If I had to hop in the car for doing anything I think I'll die of laziness.
See I do agree on surface level it makes sense to decorate things. But I have yet to see any empirical evidence of this, let alone weighted against the long term costs of burnout, disillusion, embitterment, increasing costs using third parties to fix the problems, and more.

Anecdotally, the far majority of "we really love to work here!" people I met seemed to either stop caring very soon, were clearly faking it or were barely distinguishable from their more skeptical co-workers performance-wise, bar a few individuals with a savior complex.

Then you created a program in JS that requires NodeJS to run. But cool programs written in JS don't require NodeJS when it's not necessary. They just run in the browser.

PS: Really cool static site generators that shoot for simplicity don't require you to create extra template files written in a new, made-up template language. When you want to create a new post, you give it (a) the static files from your existing site and (b) the markdown for your new post. The "templating" engine inspects your existing posts (incl. e.g. class attributes) and then copies the same document structure into a new file, except with the right stuff (timestamp, title and heading, post content...) substituted in to the places where it's supposed to go.
The HN submitter has the same account name as the twitter account. That makes the explanation rather obvious, if disappointing.
The end goal of adding lanes to a freeway shouldn't be to "reduce congestion" but increase total throughput. Seems like a pretty basic misunderstanding.

Adding lanes also has the effect of more lane changes, which are a big part of what slows traffic down to begin with.
I agree. Sure there are issues but basically node/js is my scripting language. It used to be python but I do so much more JS that I just end up doing everything I can there.

Point is, both of you are correct, and this argument is pointless. The native language is a common fallback during emergency situations, in situations where phraseology is insufficient, to expedite communication.
Terms and Conditions Need Not Apply
That's possible, not sure if I want. I would have to:

1. drop markdown support, and posts in HTML

2. find a way to parse HTML via regex, which is doable if I use a different notation than a tag for `<partial src=...`

3. use a language that has filesystem support natively, to read files without a dependency

I'm working on 2 and 3. But I don't want to drop markdown support on the blog posts...so I guess I will live with this :)
Only if you have a source of post-inflation dollars, such as, your salary having been adjusted for inflation in the meantime, or you've sold inflated commodities recently at a post-inflation price, perhaps a used car that appreciated over the purchase term. If you are stuck with pre-inflation dollars this is no advantage.

You should not simply assume that you have access to more dollars just because inflation is rising. If your prices go up but your income does not, or your income significantly lags (anyone who got a pre-emptive inflation raise let me know, otherwise it always lags), you're paying for today's inflation with dollars from last year.

Covid: Young child development worrying, says Ofsted boss
In an odd coincidence - I'm just sailing away from Crete, I've always been interested in the Minion civilisation which dates at its earliest to 3500 years ago.

Things of note. Please respect the following text, which is civil and describes nude sculpture, bearing in mind Minoan civilisation was renowned for priestesses which wore bodices that exposed their breasts.

A few days ago I saw a Minoan figure of a female clay bust, which I have not found online, in the Heraklion Archaelogical museum, and it is the finest sculpture of breasts I have ever seen that predates modernity. I will try and upload an image if anyone is interested. Just perfectly sculpted and realistic.

Within the theme, I also discovered a 3500 year old sculpture of a woman which has over 100 breasts all over it. Oddly the sculpture was listed as having "nubs" quite why the museum did I have no idea why. While odd, what I found compelling , is that a figure of a multiple breasted woman is renowned in the city of Ephesus - called the Diana of Ephesus - (feel free to google). I have not found any link in museum of in texts, but it must be related, as Ephesus was also settled by Minoans. Just an odd similarity which I do genuinely is related.

I am not a historian so please chime in if there is a link.

But importantly - I just wanted to share my observation, that usual sculptures one associates with minoan civilisation such as the priestess holding the snakes - seems like an amateur attempt at sculpture compared to the more secretive, hidden pieces that I happened to come across. This helps to contextualise the quality of detail in the agate described in the article.

No conspiracy life is just surprising like that.

Just my take I hope it was of interest.

If you ask for a nurse and 85% are female, but 95% of the nurse images online are female, what distribution do you want it to return? “What do you expect it to do” is a worse question than “What do you want it to do?”

It’s a problem is that right now there’s only one option (reflect the training set with a bias towards the most common cases).

"...how likely is it that users are more important than the spam detection algorithms?"

I'm not sure you understand how spam filters work. No one is sitting there hard-coding all the possible terms and phrases that indicate spam; that would be unfeasible. The spam filters learn what content is considered spam based on user activity and user flagging. It's not that users are "more important than the algorithms," it's that the algorithms are trained by the users in the first place.

In more general terms, the algorithms represent user preferences, so the user demographics directly determine the algorithms' behavior.
Yes that makes sense. They are just doing it to own the libs? Sorry but that's ridiculous, it sounds like you need to tune off the culture war a bit.

It depends on whether you want it to show what someone would expect a nurse to look like, or show what a nurse. Nothing in the definition of a nurse implies female.

It's funny because giving people with poor credit loans they couldn't repay is exactly what led to the financial crisis and what we villainized the banks for.
I'm not sure why this is the case, but American consumers have come to expect (have been trained to expect?) a wide variety of choice at the supermarket. I'm talking like, you want honey? You've got 50 different brands/sizes of honey available. Repeat for every expected type of product, and you need a big centralized building for this to work out economically.

Of course, all problems in NA urbanism seem to stem from land zoning. Building a small grocery store in a residential neighborhood is illegal in a distressingly huge percentage of urban land here, and it's been this way since the 50s. So that's probably part of why the megamart has succeeded. The concept of 'mixed use' is a new idea to many cities, and it's not well distributed on the zoning maps.
I'm no historian but I don't think Newton was collaborating with any black people. Even if he was, you can't ignore the fact that the dominant academic institutions of today evolved from imperialist and white ones (e.g. the Royal Society).

That's hundreds of years of development and cultural momentum geared mostly towards people who find Latin/English natural. This massive and ancient ecosystem of information is best accessed when you can have some tea with your professor friends who only know [insert Romance language here].

There are of course other nonwhite institutions, but their development has been stunted and infiltrated by colonialist ventures.

Incredible map, I've never seen this before and I grew up here.

Zoning decides so much of the vibe of a city/neighbourhood. Changing zoning is pretty short sited if you have the goal of having an area that people love to love in.

Having lived in 6 other cities, other things Vancouver does well that aren't obvious on this map:

- Narrow streets (avoids traffic in side streets)

- No highways in the city (loud, dangerous, take up lots of space)

- Grass on both sides of sidewalk and trees on every street.

- Extremely high park density.

- Protected bike lanes everywhere.

- Side streets with random dead ends.

- Commercial streets every ~4-6 blocks that allow more traffic + bus routes.

- Rectangle structured blocks with numbers 1 direction and names the other.
Wow, only a 2x difference? That is fantastic on the Wasm side.

Right, but this usually turns into the argument that we shouldn't add new capacity because then it would be used, and that's such a staggeringly stupid argument that I cannot comprehend the confusion of ideas that would lead someone to embrace it.

What's worse, I hear this awful argument deployed under the flag of a cause I believe in: more public transport, less roads. Guess what? If we deploy more public transport, I bet people will use it more, too! Does that mean we shouldn't? Ugh. It's so dumb it almost feels like it has to be a false flag, but I've heard it from people who I know believe what they say, so I think it's just a meme at this point. A pejorative that people throw at cars without thinking about what they are saying.

"Cars are bad at scaling throughput" is the argument we need. Not this "induced demand" garbage.
Shouldn't we be turning an eye to power generation?

From infrastructure perspective, rather than chase millions of consumption endpoints, it's just more efficient to replace polluting generating facilities with nuclear, wind, solar, or even newer gas-burning plants with carbon capture.
