> but are so fucking tired of masking all the time you just do it anyway.

I feel like "masking" is being used for "be polite". I didn't decide to be rude, I decided not to mask my disability.

That is bullshit.

People on the spectrum may have a harder time understanding what is rude, and that may give some passes when you don't realize it. But if you decide to ignore what you've learned is rude, you're just an ass.

So off went the Emperor in procession under his splendid canopy. Everyone in the streets and the windows said, "Oh, how fine are the Emperor's new clothes! Don't they fit him to perfection? And see his long train!" Nobody would confess that he couldn't see anything, for that would prove him either unfit for his position, or a fool. No costume the Emperor had worn before was ever such a complete success.

"But he hasn't got anything on," a little child said.

"Did you ever hear such innocent prattle?" said its father. And one person whispered to another what the child had said, "He hasn't anything on. A child says he hasn't anything on."

"But he hasn't got anything on!" the whole town cried out at last.

The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, "This procession has got to go on." So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the train that wasn't there at all.

This sort of reminds me of the story about an HR algorithm that ended up being discriminatory because it was trained using existing/past hiring data.. so it was biased toward white men.

Was it Amazon?

Anyway, this feels different to me, IIRC you can't ask disability related questions in hiring aside from the "self identify" types at the end? So how would a ML model find applicants with any kind of disability unless it was freely volunteered in a resume/CV?

Or is that the advisory? "Don't do this?"

Short sellers push the price down, so on the chance he does go through with the purchase, he is seen like a fool who overpaid for the stock. And we all know how much narcissists like looking like fools.
Very interesting, I hadn't come across the term historical dictionary until today.

From wikiepdia:

> A historical dictionary or dictionary on historical principles is a dictionary which deals not only with the latterday meanings of words but also the historical development of their forms and meanings. It may also describe the vocabulary of an earlier stage of a language's development without covering present-day usage at all. A historical dictionary is primarily of interest to scholars of language, but may also be used as a general dictionary.

Holy cannoli this is amazing!!

I have no better words than Mike Markkula's point 3 of Apple's marketing philosophy for you:

Point No. 3: Impute

“People DO judge a book by its cover. We may have the best product, the highest quality, the most useful software etc.; if we present them in a slipshod manner, they will be perceived as slipshod; if we present them in a creative, professional manner, we will impute the desired qualities.”

You have a stellar product - spend every waking moment polishing it. You already nailed point 1 and 2, that's why they're not included!
This whole story is wild to me, having worked previously at a different company which was also a frequent target of criticism on the blog run by the victims.

Sure, we definitely used to eye-roll at some articles. But my ass would've been fired in 5 seconds for even sending them an email, let alone anything beyond that.
so this discipline speeds up compilation, but makes the code "annoying" to write and requires "eternal vigilance".

fast compiles are nice but to trade away your code's hackability seems infinitely counter-productive to me. won't that have an immense negative impact on total development time?
It depends what you are doing but with async it's possible to synthesize SR latches that don't have these setup / hold and metastability problems, the output of the logic is directly strobes that set or reset the storage element.
The example given mentions voting for parties, but doesn't give explicit indication how this works. Are the votes directly for parties or for candidates from those parties? It doesn't say. I suspect that you see it as explicitly talking about votes directly for parties, but I see it leaving it undefined.

But really, what exactly the original example intended to convey is a pointless pedantic argument I'm not getting into.

The crucial point is that you absolutely can have multi-member proportional districts where you vote for specific candidates. So to someone who advocated for a such multi-member districts, the contention that you have to give up voting for individual candidates simply isn't true.

If including button.h ends including nuclearpowerplant.h it's because it's a dependency, so with the article method you will end up including nuclearpowerplant too, otherwise it won't compile.

Of course this assumes that headers only include what they really need. If a header includes something it shouldn't (maybe an old dependency that was forgotten) the issue is old dependencies, and the fix is to remove it from the header once. With the article method you will need to remove it from every file that includes button (except maybe it is also used by another dependency and compile will fail).

Edit: I've realized the problem. If A includes B because it requires it, and C requires A and B, C will probably only include A and it will compile. Later if A is refactored and no longer requires B, removing it will break C.
The solution is to always include what you use, even if it it's already included as dependency, as explained by another comment.
I think the (TWRT_T) link in the press release got removed by a summarizing bot or a summarizing intern. Thus, through chance and endless change, the English language has again been improved. I do believe I will now add "incestimate" to my personal lexicon for any assessment of an entity's value that comes from that self-same entity.
I am not a lawyer, let alone a securities lawyer, but from what I have seen over the years, I suspect that if he just backed out but did not renegotiate, or did not do so with a plausibly-acceptable offer, he would likely be sued by Twitter stockholders claiming his actions had done harm to Twitter's valuation - a claim which can at least be made even though the market is falling broadly. If that puts pressure on him to renegotiate, that pressure would seem to strengthen the Twitter board's hand in seeking a considerable premium over whatever the then-current valuation of Twitter will be.

It is not clear to me that the personal cost to Musk would be less than what he initially expected it to be, measured in units of Tesla stock, though I agree it could be less than if he completes the current deal.

As for the spammers thing, Musk waived an extensive due-diligence investigation, and now he is complaining about issues that should have been covered by that investigation.
So what is the evidence in support of that hypothesis?

The pattern of behavior by Elon seems pretty strong support for the alternative.

The only support I see for this position is the assumption that musk is smarter than everyone else.
Operators seem like a mandatory element for a lot of stateful applications to be working. MySQL, Kafka, OpenEBS, Cassandra… all need an operator to ensure day-2 operations.

I am just wondering if CNCF could provide signals that could help end users pick the right operator among the many out there. They could start with the projects they have in their landscape…

Maybe the web was initially not designed for doing these kinds of things, but on the other hand it is basically the only platform that enables people to click a link and immediately start using whatever app is behind the URL. That's fundamentally why the web has grown as much as it has, and why there is huge incentive for people to build more APIs that let people do more with that platform.

I suppose you could in theory build a similar kind of platform that allows you to the same things in better ways. There may even be a lot of money there. But it hasn't happened, and so it makes a lot of sense IMO to build these kinds of apps.
Yes! I can't count how often I've read this when people talk about OS threads...
Alternative take, things like the space program; while there are some prominent names in there like Wernher von Braun and Louis Armstrong, the endeavour which changed human history was an endeavour by many people, not just a few individuals with Personalities. Same with other current endeavours like nuclear fusion and the LHC; I can't name any individual person behind those projects. They are a lot more selfless.

Meanwhile, there's great engineers working at both Tesla and SpaceX, but the only person you know is Elon.
Found the racial grifter
> He's autistic and a genius. That combination is typically misunderstood and derided in their time.

Going to call bullshit on that one, because it's an easy way to discount all the downright shitty crap he's done.

I think it is amazing what Musk has accomplished, and if you look throughout history most hard-charging folks that get shit done tend to have a ton of narcissistic traits and are not really folks you'd want to be friends with. Both Newton and Edison were legendary assholes. Many of "... The Great" leaders throughout history achieved their "greatness" by mass murder.

So it's not incongruous at all to call out Elon for being a giant narcissistic, lying dickhead, and to also be in awe of his accomplishments.

This is not quite fingerprinting, since there's nothing unique about the alleged setup.

There's quite a lot required for them to credibly show that the letter could only have been produced on a pc with "Intel HD Graphics 630". I suspect the argument is on the level of "we tried to duplicate it with some random PCs and the one with Intel HD graphics looked most similar".

But even if it is true, integrated intel GPUs are in (maybe?) a third of all windows PCs.
Yep, and people using "absolutely" all the time is the crown jewel.

In the past few years there's been a similar but opposite degradation: the only adverbs anyone uses are "super", "super not", and "not super". I think it came from the infantilized condescending culture on Twitter.

Why is any of this an issue if they are collecting actual metrics on their own software?

I have plenty of environments that run whitelist only, you can always go that route and not think about any vendor, any software not getting out.

And stuff like this is just inflammatory:

>Similarly, some Windows telemetry uses "microsft.com" instead of "microsoft.com" to bypess firewall rules blocking the latter.

Do you think we'd just block *.microsoft.com over their telemetry domain, microsft.com? Half the planet is in O365.

And on the flip side you know we'd all block telemetry.microsoft.com just because, it wouldn't matter what they collect and not think twice, then turn around sell it to people as "we are adding security".
Being blind to race means being blind to acts of racism.

No, it doesn't. That's a lovely slogan, but nothing more. People have the capacity to both treat everyone equally, and also notice when some people have not, currently or historically, been treated equally.

Prejudice still happens even if the aggressors have good motivations or think they're "good" people.

I know it was, and today Emacs has over a million lines of Lisp even without considering Elpa, but I think Lisp embodied some ideas about the best ways to structure large programs that turned out to be wrong.

In particular, Lisp in general (including Common Lisp) is designed as far as possible to maximize flexibility, and I think there's an unavoidable tradeoff between flexibility and correctness. Oversimplified, programs are flexible when they can do things their original author did not anticipate; they are correct when they cannot do things their original author did not anticipate.

Of course, in reality, it's not that simple. But this obviously false formulation contains important bits of truth. Testing a flexible program is more difficult, and more bugs are likely to slip through your testing, and each one usually takes more effort to diagnose and fix. And of course in general any two virtues trade off against one another in the limit, because if you take every possible measure to increase the first, some of them will happen to decrease the second. (By the same token there are some measures you can take that will increase both.)
Or you buy a laptop brand that's specifically targeted for long-lasting professional use only, like Panasonic Toughbooks or Thinkpad P series workstations.

Are you willing to pay for it though?

> All 3 of them took wealth away from paper-millionaire shareholders of competing companies (eg. Netscape) and delivered superior quality of life to the consumer. Nobody sheds a tear for the paper-millionaires, rightfully so.

Well actually... Microsoft was almost broken up by the government for what it did to Netscape, until there was a change of US Presidential administration, after which Microsoft was given a wrist slap, and then 9/11 immediately hit, which made the issue disappear from public consciousness.

I'm not exaggerating here: the Department of Justice announced it was no longer seeking to break up Microsoft in September 2001. See this article from the WSJ literally the day before 9/11: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB1000076767888491506

I found meetings much more objectionable when I worked onsite. Working at home, meetings don't bother me as much because nobody expects me to have my camera on and we're expected to keep our mikes muted unless we have something to say. So I can just listen while doing other things, like squats, pushups, crunches, etc., because most meetings are (like onion2k said) organizational and their substance is generally condensed into an email I can skim at my convenience on the off-chance that I missed something.

>When it's about effective government, half the nations on the Mediterranean don't count.

I'm from Spain, you don't know shit.

First, Spain it's highly decentralized. The North, the South, the Mediterranean, the Castilles, Madrid and the two archipelagos have NOTHING to do with each other.
Think of Spain as "the United Autonomous Contuies of Spain", something akin to USA-lite.

The rough mountainous surface of Spain makes the provinces VERY diverse from each other, from freezing cold winters, chilly rains with more rain than the UK (no kidding again) to plain deserts, tundras, rough coasts, sunny coasts, wheat fields and so on.

Don't let me start on culture, we still have a working pre-Roman language there. The French in the South-West too.

The Basque Country, Valencia, Catalonia and Madrid have a better life on average than the US by large.
We the Basques have been trading with the UK since... the Industrial Revolution. And before that, we have been casting iron since the fucking ROMANS.

Oh, yes, what a shithole do we live. For sure /s. Ask Mondragón or Zamudio for IT HQs for a LOT of companies on how bad are they doing.

The Castilles are doing ok but these are regions with a HIGHLY sparse and separated population, where you have less people per squared km than Lapland, so they have a good excuse to not being as developed (overall) as Madrid or Barcelona. Yet, they aren't a 3r would country by no means.

Are you gonna to lecture us in which supposed shithole do we live? Because you would be chastened by the experience.

Oh, and on "the Northern European Countries", yes, oh, wow, so developed, so rich, so powerful, yet they fucked around with the Covid like hell by being careless idiots and yet they called us lazy fucks and such when we had one of the most STRICT lockdowns in Europe.

The irony.

Hollywood and the stereotypes did a great damage on the Southern Europe thanks to that Anglo-Saxon malice and inferiority complex against the Roman legacy.

Let me tell you something, you, the so "superior race" against us, the inferior and drunkard South Europeans: at least we don't stay beer-roasted at work like a lot of places in Germany. We did our best, and yes, we have corruption, but they have too and worse, they avoid to shout out their crap publicly as if nothing happened.

One day I'll post what the shithole it's Iceland on some of the energy and industry policies overseas and you'll shit bricks on the so-called "North European Efficiency".

I have to say, this blows the mind for Americans who assume European countries are tax hells. The IRS will tax everything, sometimes before you’ve sold it: I had to pay mark-to-market capital gains tax on unrealized gains in a foreign mutual fund I’d bought before moving to USA.

Meh, whatever you think of the 'angle' of the NYTimes article, it was pretty clear from talking to his classmates that they were in a very wealthy area of Joberg.. his dad was successful in business (being part owner of at least one mineral mine) and was a local politician.

> Interviews with relatives and former classmates reveal an upbringing in elite, segregated white communities that were littered with anti-Black government propaganda, and detached from the atrocities that white political leaders inflicted on the Black majority.

> Mr. Musk, 50, grew up in the economic hub of Johannesburg, the executive capital of Pretoria and the coastal city of Durban. His suburban communities were largely shrouded in misinformation. Newspapers sometimes arrived on doorsteps with whole sections blacked out, and nightly news bulletins ended with the national anthem and an image of the national flag flapping as the names of white young men who were killed fighting for the government scrolled on the screen.

> “We were really clueless as white South African teenagers. Really clueless,” said Melanie Cheary, a classmate of Mr. Musk’s during the two years he spent at Bryanston High School in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, where Black people were rarely seen other than in service of white families living in palatial homes.

They go onto say that Musk had black friends and left SA to avoid serving the apartheid government via mandatory military service.
