That defends on how broad or narrow bands of color similarity are across different cultures. Those do vary and mutate, and three are also zones of indeterminacy - remember the arguments over 'what color is this dress, blue or gold'?

Linguistic drift can occur due to contact with other cultures, changing environmental conditions, availability of new dyes, or political factors. As an example of the latter, consider an absolute monarch with a color vision deviation from the biological norm. Their opinions about colors could become the 'official' one, and over a long reign this could become institutionalized. Chinese culture, for example, identifies 5 fundamental colors and they're invested with far more symbolic specificity than in western societies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_in_Chinese_culture

And I'm not trying to be dismissive of the paper. I just have some doubts because it needs to pile methodological inferences on top of each other over a wide variation in both space and time. If you throw lots of different circles on a Venn diagram and they all have a pretty consistent overlap, then yes, that probably means something. It's a worthwhile approach.

But the fuzzier the boundaries, the harder that task becomes. I'm happy to buy into the idea that Betelgeuse changed color relatively recently and people noticed: my point was to list some confounding factors that make pinning that down very challenging.
How does one "neoliberalize" intersectionality? What parts of intersectionality are "capitalist-corporate-compatible"?
We do discriminate against things people can't control, like intelligence. If you have an IQ of 80, I can almost guarantee you will not be accepted to a college to become an architect, lawyer, or doctor.

But also, discriminating against things people can control is really just one party trying to apply soft power over another, and I am generally against it. You might be able to legally say you can't work at this company if you like to go bowling in your free time, but I don't think it would be a right thing to do.

I'm among the React developers who don't really know how it works under the hood. Recently I needed to code a UI that required mouse drag events. It ran like a pig when I did it in React.

I tried a few things to speed it up, but eventually gave up and did the UI in plain old Javascript. It runs a hell of a lot better, but the code does feel a lot more flimsy.

Edit: Here's a demo of the UI I built https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt71bNYe3qc

Where do you think airline pilots come from? New pilots learn to fly in single-engine piston planes. And then again as flight instructors and commercial (non-ATP) pilots while building time to get their ATP rating and move onto the airlines. The continual slow death of GA is only going to worse an increasingly dire pilot shortage.

Okay...

(1) is abstractly possible for any software and always has been. Signal cannot directly send my phone a bespoke binary... I got it through the app store. If that was allowed it would be Apple or Googles breach of the model, not Signal.

(2) there were SGX vulnerabilities, yes, but they've been patched and Signal is no longer vulnerable (in the one instance where they were), no?

(3) citation please, these are IP logs for conversations?

(4) this is not Signal's problem to solve. If you buy into what Signal offers, you're saying it's okay that my carrier knows that I registered with Signal because that's all they know. Being able to inspect IP headers for traffic on the internet is possible regardless of the software you're using. If you don't trust the internet with your communications then you need to take them off the internet... I don't know what else to say.

Further, typically companies can't be compelled to do something like (1) because it represents an undue burden on operation of their business. This is why Apple refused to give the FBI a bespoke build of iOS that bypassed the pin code. Not to mention the loss of business when people find out that a breach of trust had happened. Also I thought Signal had reproducible builds in every instance possible.

Idk, it sounds like you really shouldn't use any software you didn't write yourself and hardware you didn't build yourself and network where you don't trust every single node if your threat model involves IP logs and hardware tampering and
targeted malicious software... that is hardly practical by any stretch of the imagination.

Class discrimination is a big thing, and it’s related to accent discrimination and somewhat to ethnicity too. There is no shortage of stereotypes associated with regional accents (apologies, but to illustrate: cockney = untrustworthy; West Country = unsophisticated; Yorkshire = blunt, miserly; RP = haughty). Accent is judged alongside class (which I won’t attempt to define here). Ethnicity comes into the picture with groups such as travellers (who have only recently been recognized as an ethnic group) and showmen (who disclaim being one), and Jewish ethnicity is also often ignored as “just another kind of white” (see David Baddiel’s book Jews Don’t Count). Then there are Scottish and Welsh people and maybe even sub-national groupings like Cornish, where ethnicity and accent and class interact in complex ways.

These groupings have fuzzy edges and can be hard to disentangle as identity markers (and thus hard to make anti-discrimination rules against), which is fertile ground for under-the-radar discrimination.

I agree completely, this is why I think the pro-gay "It's not a choice, I was born this way" argument is misguided. Even if being gay was 100% a lifestyle choice - there is still nothing wrong with it, and no one should give you any shit for it!

Really hard. There are so many caste markers. Surnames are the least of it. Speaking accent, diet, clothing and several other habits can some among them. Even worse, people who believe in castes are part-time detectives who often do background checks on others. At least, that's the case in India. I don't know how bad it is in the US - but I'm sure there will be some.

That's great! But what it doesn't say is what's actually relevant: how much time you spent maintaining it in that period.

Stuff being obviously/"disruptively" broken usually has an undue amount of weight given to it, even though it generally (a) occurs at a time the administrator has chosen and should be planned to minimize the effects of any disruption (i.e. when you're doing updates or potentially problematic config changes), and (b) usually takes significantly less time to deal with, overall, than regular maintenance (upgrades, config changes caused by them, etc).

>One group did this six times a day for five days a week (6×5). The other group completed all 30 contractions in a single day once a week (30×1). Researchers also had a third group do six contractions once a week as a control.

>Results show the 30×1 group did not see any increase in their muscle strength over the four weeks. However, they did see their muscle thickness (an indicator of muscle size) grow by 5.8 percent. The control group doing six contractions a week did not see any change in muscle strength or muscle thickness.

This is already known. High reps will build muscle size. Low reps near max will build strength. These researchers need to lurk more.

Power lifting routines will gradually increase weight during a training cycle, with the goal of hitting a new 1 rep max (1RM) toward the end of 6 weeks or so. In weeks 4 and 5 you'll be doing sets of 2 or 3. Body builders will normally do lower weight for sets of 12 or more, targeting specific muscles.

Just an anecdote but where I live we've had a huge influx of ex-Floridians moving in. They are all over this town. I was thinking there was an exodus going on.

You’re downvoted but entirely right.

Unfortunately I didn’t have the time nor management buy-in for doing that (a full rewrite), so instead I went for the second best option, which was making the code we had at least manageable.
Sure, maybe I'm reacting more to calling it a nightmare. This is a well documented limit.

Thanks! The core code (capture and post-processing) sits around 250 lines. It's short enough to retain which makes iterating quick and fairly painless.

> 2x the space so the cost of fuel as a percentage of the ticket price is lower. It might not be obvious to you but I'm happy to explain it :)

See, your claim is that fuel cost is the sole reason they do this. I'd argue it's obvious they'd do that even if all fuel was free.

> Aircraft speed as barely budged since we transitioned from turboprop to jets.

Ah, it's again one of those nonlinearities you seem to have trouble with. See, the cost increase is, again, not proportional to speed. On top of the quadratic scaling, you have a very nonlinear and steep (not-proportional!) increase in drag coefficient. So, when you look up that what I say is true, but you want to weasel your way out by saying 'it's not by much', you're missing that the impact on drag (and fuel) is substantial.
In-feed ads aren't uncommon.
It was pretty easy. The Python question was a bit of client code calling a helper to generate a object instance that returns some data and you had to fix it up to cache the data and make it more performant. Then a basic SQL question with two joins, a group by and some aggregations, and the third question that we didn't get to in time was doing the same thing as question 2 but in pandas. I passed the interview, have a third round (2.5 hours) later this week also involving coding. Glad I practiced the SQL more than I had planned, I might have gotten some syntax messed up but the interviewer was very reasonable and when I reached for a LEFT JOIN just like "Google it if you want to just check something - its fine"

Overall felt like a totally reasonable interview. To the other commenter harping over the differences across SQL flavors - this is pretty trivial, I'm sure most people would be forgiving if you used Oracle SQL vs PSQL, etc...
The FAA has been dragging their feet on this issue for over 20 years now. At first the excuse was that there wasn't a viable alternative, but now there is and they are still slow rolling it. The administration has a almost pathological fear of change.
On the time scales most people think in, it's probably not a big consideration for them personally.

The money they save on housing in the meantime perhaps can buy their descendants property in less climate-change-threatened places.

Building long term habitations in low lying coastal areas (absent massive engineering to prevent flooding like the Netherlands has done) seems dubious though.
Yes, 100LL still has lead in it. And despite what it may seem based on skewed figures from those who want to see local airports closed so they can build more strip malls and condos, there has been a 99.99% reduction of lead pollution from gasoline overall since the phase out of automotive leaded gas. We're working on getting unleaded avgas, you can blame the FAA for it taking so darn long, but it's hardly an environmental emergency.

> Turns out most (all?) piston-engine driven airplanes still run on leaded gas

Not technically all. There is unleaded avgas although it's not yet common and some piston planes are diesel.

Probably because the perpetrator and victim often belong to the same race. Besides, it's hard even to prove that discrimination occurred. The usual strategy is to put lower caste people in no-win situations and blame them for the failure.
> 1) In the case of a network partition, the client that is currently connected to the leader, do they get notified that there's a partition, or that the cluster is not in a healthy situation?

The cluster - or any server of the cluster - finds out about network partition only when the timeout passes. At this point the leader - which becomes the former leader - can notify the client, or the client can see for itself that the timeout has passed.

> 2) If a client writes to the partition that will get rolled back, and all their transactions get rolled back after the partition heals, do they get notified that their data was rolled back?

Note that the client was never notified that their data was committed in the first place. So the client can assume that if the timeout passed without notification that the data wasn't set in the cluster.

Surely there could be problems between the client and the leader. Idempotent messages could be useful.
glibc updates have recently broken lots of Electron software (and probably other stuff using similar sandboxing), by using a new syscall (clone3? or something) to implement some library methods.

Hello from Slovakia :)

Fair point. I never lived in an apartment complex in California, so hard to compare. I stayed in a few in the bay area when on business travel, but those were very nice - shared space with a pool, gym, a coffee shop part of the building. No idea how those compare to normal apartments.
I did live in apartments elsewhere: in Australia (except for really bad building quality), in Switzerland, Germany, Austria. They were nice, as long as they stayed reasonably small. Once they hit some 5 floors and 20+ apartments, they stopped being a place where I'd like to live. With up to 10 apartments, they were almost universally nice, no matter where.
Oh, that's good to know. Thanks.
I recently learned that the science has changed and I can recommend the book Burn by Herman Pontzer on this:

The human body can adjust the Basal Metabolic Resting Rate quite a lot in the face of exercise. Spending an extra 500 kcals on exercise can easily only lead to 200 kcals higher total energy expenditure. The body apparently will for instance reduce sex drive and immune functions when under regular exercise. So to achieve weight loss exercise alone is a very hard path unless diet is also modified.

In other words the mechanistic model of "calories in minus exercise calories minus resting calories" doesn't work well or at least it is harder to assess "calories out" than it seems at first hand.
Meh, Apple only. Disappointed.
The Boom Overture lacks the range to fly non-stop LAX to SYD. It would have to make at least two refueling stops (something like LAX-HNL-NAN-SYD), so it wouldn't save any time. The crew would also need to be changed at least once due to working time limits, and it's too small to accommodate crew rest facilities.

This airliner is primarily targeted at shorter Atlantic routes; if they succeed in that market then they might build a larger successor model with the range for Pacific routes.
My favorite utility is a shell function for quickly attaching to an existing screen session after connecting via ssh (or creating a new one if none exists). It's pretty handy for treating a single ssh connection to a server as if it was a long-lived multi-tab terminal:

sshcreen () {
ssh -t "$@" screen -xRR
}

Works with bash and zsh. Usage is pretty simple:

$ sshcreen user@example.com

Or for local Docker instances mapped to port 2222:

$ sshcreen root@localhost -p 2222

Detach the session with CTRL-A + D, reattach by rerunning the sshcreen command you previously used.
So, my take is the following: I still believe that it's all getting "more human," and that this isn't necessarily mutually exclusive of "contrived, scripted" etc. The difference is "Kardashianism" is filtered through big media selling ads, vs. e.g. "TikTok" -- at the point of creation -- is filtered through nothing but the sensibilities of the creator and mostly stays what it was at the point of creation. Ergo, much more human.

wine-dark sea

I have often wondered about that one - is it due to light intensity at Mediterranean latitudes, or the frequency of storms, or the predominance of bronze at the time? Or was there a greater variety of grapes and wine colors? Or is it to do with the absence of glass, so that colors were appraised as they appeared in metallic drinking vessels?
I've thought about going in this direction multiple times, but I have this impression that it's pretty much unavoidable that you'd be working with annoying ETL processes and "cleaning data" (parsing, transforming from one set of columns to another, etc) over and over again. Is this true? I hate that stuff, but I'm particularly interested in graphical data structures and I even like probability and statistics and linear algebra, so I've been torn.

The deposit could be $1 for all we know and fully cancelable with no commitment to buy or deploy. The press release is basically fluff.
Hmm, yeah. I mean with modern technology it should be feasible to create a more cost-effective / greener supersonic airliner than Concorde.

But basic physics dictates that supersonic flight requires a lot of power, as well as low bypass turbofans. So competitive with modern "normal" airliners in terms of cost or emissions per seat-km, nope, not gonna happen.

Synthetic jet fuel is a good idea that deserves R&D money (if we're gonna keep flying long distance in a carbon constrained world I think something like that is going to be necessary), but is orthogonal to a supersonic airliner. Unsure why they think that bundling synthetic jet fuel (itself a high-risk R&D project) with their supersonic jet (another high risk R&D project) will do anything but increase the risk of failure of the entire project. Well, the uncharitable explanation why they're doing it is of course greenwashing.
