I don't and no one I know does. I'm happy to leave all that crap behind. Apparently some people would rather drag those issues along with them into a new country that was previously free of this particular scourge :/
Chef here:
I've used induction, but the biggest annoyance is heat loss when lifting a pan.

Most pans section dishes are moved quite rapidly, lifting then off of the burner, to toss the ingredients(I could be cooking 5-6 dishes at once, so speed is very important), with a gas burner this doesn't matter as the radiant heat is there.

Now I'm assuming there are radiant stovetops that are designed for hospitality, but I've yet to see one, the only I have used the heat started dissipating rapidly when lifting the pan, and my wife was freaking out when the pan made contact thinking that I was going to break the cooktop.

The article says that the speaker "has delivered presentations on caste at Microsoft, Airbnb, Netflix, Saleforce, and Adobe."
At first glance seems like a snarky dismissal, but this is actually valid, actionable advice. If you can arrange your data flow in such a way that sorting is unnecessary, you've avoided an expensive optimization problem altogether.
Did I say that? Why, no, I did not. You're putting words in my mouth, which you do not have the right to do. You're generating a... not even a strawman[1], just a blatantly made-up position that you're assigning to me. And then you're not even disproving that made-up position, you're just mocking it. That's really shoddy argumentation.

My claim is that "argument by year" may be a cute rhetorical flourish, but it's completely worthless as an actual argument. You used it, and I'm calling you on it. If you want to argue against peoples' irrational beliefs, find a better way to do it.

[1] A strawman is a weak version of an opponent's position, not a completely unrelated position.
I don't know if you're aware of this, so I'm going to link it.

Our tooling is written in Node.js. So developers must have Node installed on their machines to utilize our tooling.

When they use our CLI to watch the file system for changes for live-reload or to build their extension, etc., that's a Node.js program.

The build target is browser Javascript, though.
Maybe it was a notable point in some sanewashed version of the protest, but you'll note that the slogan was "defund the police", not "fund social workers". Acknowleding that the issue is that social services are underfunded and police end up having to pick up the slack would lead to a different slogan.
This is purely anecdotal. Have you used both professionally in a large team?
The violence has escalated.
Having talks on academic subjects is fine. Companies should do more of that. The issue is that corporate diversity discussions happen with all the education and nuance appropriate to elementary schoolers.

Because most of the people in these roles aren't actually well-educated in 'best practices', you get stuff like mandatory non-anonymized surveys that ask whether people are trans and send the results to managers, or slideshows talking about minority representation that omit Asians, Hispanics, and other 'common' groups.
That's because it's another term reinvented by people who want to do philosophy without studying any of it. The traditional term is "argument reconstruction".
Check the comments on the last post about this talk cancellation for a lot of that [1] and then check the search, this topic has been discussed a few times before.

Unless the issue is specifically workplace discrimination.

Just because it doesn’t affect you personally doesn’t meant it’s not important.
Did they really document that there's no isolation between SBG1 and SBG2?
On macOS, the installers provided by python.org aren’t the best way to get Python either. (pyenv or homebrew would be better; python.org installers do weird things and have no uninstaller)
Or have a good DR strategy/a second cheap cloud provider ready, potentially giving you more reliability than a single expensive one (see e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17431609 and the horror stories posted in the comments there).

Harder if you're heavily relying on the more advanced services with often provider-specific APIs, but I think if you host with OVH you're likely to be primarily renting machines.
I’ve read (I think this was on a fairly marginal website, which is why I’m not entirely convinced) that there are networks of high-caste Indians/Hindus in SV who promote each other.

Looking at social media, I know discussing caste is quite taboo. People who celebrate their caste openly are mocked.

Is caste dead, or has it been driven underground? Does it still play a role in places like SV?

I mentioned this in another comment - pre-Mittelstand investing is also driven by power-law 100x+ returns.

If you invest $100K at <$1M valuation pre-revenue in 100 pre-Mittelstands, 1-5% of those companies are going to get to $100M+, 10-30% will get to $10M+, and 50%+ will get a positive exit.

There is a robust buyout market between PEs and corporates for these companies.

Yes, this is a form of venture capital. But most VCs today would not consider pre-Mittelstands VC-backable startups.

This post and my last one We Need a Middle Class for Startups (https://neilthanedar.com/we-need-a-middle-class-for-startups...) make the argument to VCs that they can get big exits and returns investing in Mittelstands.

> I'm not sure what time period "classic" implies, but what you described hasn't been the case for years.

It's still the case in many countries for "normal" (non craft, etc.) beers.

> I find it strange that you admit this is a thing, but ultimately gloss over it. What really is the TCO of plastic bottles vs glass bottles? It's tempting to conclude that reusing must be better than throwing stuff out, but given the costs associated with transporting heavy glass bottles and/or sanitizing them, it's not exactly obvious which one has overall higher costs.

Considering that CO2 is not the only thing, and we have problems with microplastics, we should consider that impact too.

> There's a lot wrong with recycling today (eg. ending up in landfills because recycling is too expensive), but what you described isn't one of them. Landfill space in the US is cheap as it is. Nobody is shipping plastic half-way across the world only to incinerate them.

But we did just that, before china banned import. We ship that stuff over to china "for recycling" and they burn it. Same with e-waste in africa ( https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/burning-truth-... )
This doesn't mean that the opinions of powerful people do not affect you, however.

I cannot wait for this era of GENERAL political activism at work to end.

If there are specific policies at work that effect you (meaningfully, not tangentially) by all means seek to change them.

If you just want to wear your woke flair and bring all general outside politics inside…get a hobby, start a religion, join a movement…leave the rest of us alone.
You are going to have more success if you take ownership of this yourself.

At any given job / company, you will 'learn' / become an expert in their internal legacy systems, while your knowledge of "Algorithms and data structures - Imperative and OO programming - Control flow - Design patterns" + "Front-end frameworks - Back-end frameworks - Cloud services - Testing - Automation and Deployment" will atrophy.

You mention that you have 10 YOE, and let you are lagging behind - it seems you have already experienced what happens during employment.

Employers look for people who have learnt this stuff outside the company, and bring them in to teach their current staff who haven't kept up to date.
The EPA disagrees with you regarding duct cleaning. It makes sense since anything that is sitting in your duct can’t be removed by the airflow your hvac generates. If it could be then it wouldn’t be in there in the first place.

To be fair - I think James Baldwin explained it so it's not just Indians. For a lot of folks, you feel some sense of security about your place in the world when you know there's someone "lower" than you.

What I don't understand is, how do people know the caste of some individual if they want to decide if they hire them or not, how does it work? It doesn't seem like people are very public about their caste, so how do they get an advantage? Do the people of a caste somehow communicate with each other?!
Now that Python 2 is well past it's support date, use

python3 -m http.server [optional port]

This is basically invisible to "us" (assuming you're not Indian); I'm a comparatively well read westerner regarding this issue but I have no practical ability to spot the subtle signifiers that let people familiar with system glean who "belongs" to what caste if they care to.

Also non-Indian managers are very unlikely to be interested in discriminating against specific subgroups of Indians even if they're huge bigots or something, so this is a pretty specifically inter-Indian issue.
We’re reliving the last days of Ancient Greece. Direct democracy (strictly NOT representative democracy) led cities like Athens to make harsh decisions based on just-in-time demagoguery. It led to their fall.

Representative democracy is not a fruit of technological impediments, but a conscious decision by the founding fathers after learning of the plights of direct democracy (which they equated to anarchy).

Companies like Apple firing people on employees just in time judgements is the failure of justice and the decay of modern society.

Hot take, but you know…

Aren't benchmarks supposed to be more or less reproducible? So just publish the results and the data?
I'm Bangladeshi, rather than Indian, so I'm watching this from the sidelines. That being said, I'm of the opinion that activists suck up all the oxygen when it comes to discussions of race in the U.S. A Pew poll a few years ago noted that 90% of Indian Americans think discrimination against Indian Americans in America is a "minor problem" or "no problem at all": https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/09/16/miss-americ.... But the 10% that think it's a big problem get the biggest platforms.

In reality, it's probably impossible to understand how big or small a problem caste discrimination really is in context. The folks who don't face any negative experiences mostly aren't going to pipe up.

Yes, a regular occurrence for the social issues that are either uncontroversial (e.g., reducing poverty, improving education, dealing with pandemics) or only lightly controversial (e.g., climate change, misinformation in the media, etc.).

For the more controversial topics, the talks are vetted more carefully, to make sure they align with the political position of the company, and that they don't raise too much opposition from any groups within the company.

The goal of the speaker is to convert as many (preferably influential) people as possible to their viewpoint. The goal of the hosting employee is typically the same, at least for the controversial issues (since those are usually highly politicized). The goal of the host company is to promote themselves as a bastion of certain (good, from their perspective) ideas, and/or as a place for thoughtful discussions.

Maybe he is referring to the video evidence showing suitcases with ballots being removed from under a table which seemed to be counted without the presence of watchers?

As an outsider I don't have that much skin in the game when it comes to elections in the USA - not 'no skin' since we here in Europe are exposed in many ways to the rise and fall of the USA as a major economical and military power. I do get the impression that the media in the USA are extremely partisan and mostly seem to side with the DNC position. Especially the major news publishers - whether they be publishing in print like the NYT and WaPo or via cable and 'net like CNN and MSNBC - seem to act like they are the communications division of the DNC instead of independent publishers. The recent departure of the Whitehouse press secretary to one of those networks only serves to underline this all-too-close relationship. This makes it hard to talk about 'fair' elections given that a sizeable percentage of the population depend on these outlets for their information.

Partisan media is not a problem limited to the USA but it is exacerbated by what is in effect a two-party system which has split the media market into a "Democrat" and "Republican" side with the former seemingly being dominant.
At a place where I used to work, event systems triggered by the in-house instant messaging app were inundated with "typing status change" events.

The problem with "just let individuals choose" arguments is that our population seems to be extremely opposed to taxes that counteract externalities. Of course we should let people choose, but when their choice harms others we have to either charge them more or force them into making a different choice. I'd prefer taxes, but bans seem much easier politically.
How does one go about finding these places in the US?

I think they are not the ones employing recruiters to sing their praises and send zillions of emails.
Because people have a hard time getting the difference between Suunit and Shiit moslems. The caste system is even harder to grasp, for us Westerners Indians are Indians. So it seems caste based discrimination was imported through the back door, without anyone realy noticing.
If a policy effects my colleagues, it effects me. If that doesn't effect you, then by all means, do nothing.
> "We also made the decision to not move forward with the proposed talk which - rather than bringing our community together and raising awareness - was creating division and rancour," the spokesperson further said.

Google publicly defending this decision via an official spokesperson, rather than apologizing and backtracking, makes me think that someone close to the top is personally bothered by the content of the talk. It seems like it would be easy for leadership to brush off complaints about it from further down the chain.

I'm not a professional cook.

I miss gas stove over the induction because:

1. I have visual indicatation on how hot it is. The numbers is just not so good indicator.

2. I miss trashing pans around, specially when managin multiple things at once. Glass induction would not be able to withstand it. So suddenly I have to be gentle with machinery.

3. God forbid I spill something in the middle of cooking on induction. Suddenly I have to try to cleanup a hot glass and manage the whole mess. Gas, because it was raised, cleanup could be done later once food prep was over.

4. I'f there is powerloss (hi wars and other stuff) I don't really care. I used to run propane tanks 11kg, no pipes, refilled once-twice a year.
Things like where you're from, what your parents or grandparents did for work, even your last name, can give away your caste.

Sure, a heads-up is certainly nice, but I don't think that running a (reasonable) set of benchmarks is all that out of the ordinary, or any different from just taxing the service at 100% with some periodic batch job or the like. Paying for it is even stranger IMO.

And for what it's worth, I did actually work for a few small SaaS businesses, but a few reasonable benchmarks wouldn't have been a problem.

Of course, if your benchmarks are going to take 50 hours it's a different story.

Also: I suspect a lot of these database SaaS services are a lot smaller than you'd might think. I know at least one of them is anyway because I worked there (and there's no DeWitt Clause).

My favorite example is Breezewood Pennsylvania: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breezewood,_Pennsylvania

It's a "town" that almost nobody lives in. It exists solely because of a poorly-conceived connection between two major highways. Millions of people stop to get gasoline, food, use the restroom, or stop at a hotel there just because they have to stop anyway at two stop lights. There's no reason the highways couldn't be directly connected today, but local lawmakers would never allow this because it would destroy their only economic purpose.
A Bold New Theory Proposes That Humans Tamed Themselves (2019)
This seems like a case where a field settled on undescriptive jargon (like "Type I error") and needs to be disrupted by a useful vernacular (like "false positive"). If you hear "steel man" once, you'll never forget it. I've forgotten "argument reconstruction" already.

writing letters to public figures..it is an exercise. when i was a youngling, my grandmother and I would write to everyone..letters to the editor in english and to the vernaculars. that's how she learnt english and i learnt tamil(my mother tongue). and we'd read art buchwald columns in the mornings together. i guess that's how i learnt english too.

i didnt really expect jeff bezos to reply back to me. i doubt if trump ever replied to my friend. altho he did show something with the official WH seal..could be a form letter.

i plan to publish all the letters i have written and maybe the replies after i 'retire'. it is fun reading!

> "Go is not very comparable to Rust. I won't describe why, here's a quote by Rob Pike and I'll strongly imply it's because its creators deliberately avoided complexity, even where useful."

> "You did not explicitly criticize anything about Go, therefore it must not have flaws"

Then I came in and described exactly where I feel Go ignores the state of the art in PLs.

> But what does any of that have to do with (Rust-shaped vomit)

Go doesn't need all those type system gymnastics because it does not have the problem of the borrow checker to deal with and doesn't promise to avoid segfaults for you.
My point of #1 is that the author is mainly talking about security but uses the word "privacy". Improving security does not improve privacy, given my definition that privacy assumes good security. I think it's important to disentangle these two concepts because you can have one without the other. We should of course be advocating for both, but each requires their own solutions.
Thats possible but the issue with Global Star is that it isnt all that global. It is mainly useful in North America. The constellation could be expanded though.

Iridium is much better in that regard (or Inmarsat) and given how small some of these devices have become (checkout the inReach Mini) it would be pretty damn awesome to have that integrated into a phone.
Yup, they build everything and it costed them $60m.
