Don't think this attitude is just limited to STEM though as Gioia implies. Humanities majors have plenty of hubris themselves, though it may have a different moral flavor than in the sciences. Similar career incentives though for sure.
My impression is that you are trying to be racially sensitive or politically correct. You are using terms like DEI and saying it is important. But what you are writing comes across as very racist. "We have to have a black person on the team because black people think different!" No, your race and gender don't determine your beliefs or perspectives.

The way to find out what different groups will think about your product is to survey representative samples - not to hope that the person of background X on your team could speak for all X.

You can use focus groups for issues you don't know about - absolutely. That's one of the main benefits. Get a group to use the Go store. Ask about what they thought. Ask the people who used it a lot and those who used it a little - why did you use it so much/little. You find that some people are made uncomfortable because it feels like stealing. There - if you didn't realize that was an issue before, now you do.
We're not penalizing them. We're taking them.
I agree. “The medium is the message” comes to mind [0]. I think it has something to do with broadcast media of all kinds.

When reading works from before the broadcast era, I remember authors would somehow try to converse with the reader with via their writing style as in the writer acknowledged the existence of a reader in their writing explicitly (“Dear Reader”) or via a narrative (the narrative style of Plato) and acknowledged that the reader was somehow capable of responding and that the writer could listen. Over time, writers started acknowledging that the reader was one amongst many (“Dear readers”), but still capable and worthy of being conversed with. Moving further along, wartime recruiting posters are what comes to mind of when I think of broadcast media when there is a short message often written in the imperative: the reader exists and expected to do something, but has no avenue or agency to discuss the message. There are examples and counter-examples of the styles I mentioned, but my observation has been that the prevailing writing style has changed from expecting/demanding a two-way conversation to a sort of “speaking at each other not to each other” unless negotiated differently otherwise.

Gluten can be responsible for such conditions. As many other external factors I guess. I have been reducing gluten consumption recently and kinda feel tiredness as reduced. Maybe unrelated but it cannot hurt. Also practicing sport regularly helps reducing tiredness. Human body is such a complex machine.
Most roundabouts of that type I know have replaced similarly sized all asphalt intersections. Now there is more green. When planned ahead there really isn’t that much extra real estate required if you are willing to have steeper grades for pedestrians only for example.
I think the emphasis was on being prepared.

If you grow up in the area surrounded by people who know the area, you'll do fine.

If you're casually wandering into an area like that coming from San Francisco or London expecting a fun weekend, you may very well pass out or worse.
Indeed, it would be like blaming the USD because I lost my shirt at the casino.

The problem about crypto is that all the scam coins and get-rich-quick schemes gave a bad name to that famous piece of technology.
Soft power? Henry George argues owning land is "hard power" but ground rent is a residue, money can absorb ground rent through interest payments, making money also "hard power".
Yes. "It is very fine to discriminate against people based on them behaving like assholes" is another one. If you can't point to the injustice in the discrimination and are reduced to claiming all discrimination is bad you have run out of arguments
Most ICE cars that age are either falling apart or long retired to the junk yard. They get nowhere near the fuel economy they might have had when they left the factory. Also, cumulatively the amount of maintenance, parts, and hours tinkering with the vehicle adds up.

A battery replacement is an economical choice for an EV. You could buy a new vehicle or buy a life extension of another decade plus. That's how long the battery lasts and there's very little else in the vehicle that is very likely to start falling apart. Electrical engines last a long time. Drive trains are much simpler. And parts for that are relatively cheap. So even if the engine were to fail, replacing it would be pretty straightforward and cheap probably.

E.g. a Nissan Leaf battery replacement will set you back around 7000 dollars. A lot of money for sure. But it will last quite long and when there's really nothing else wrong with the vehicle, it's a perfectly rational decision to make. Lots of original Nissan Leafs from 12 years ago are still driving around and quite a few will survive into their second and third decade. As it is one of the older EV models available, that's a great benchmark. We're talking first generation technology. The batteries and drive train were more primitive. Cooling and battery management were not a thing yet. Etc. Just great little vehicles. And a 7K battery doubles their original range (from 20kwh to 40kwh).

Okay yes, we can see distant light from slightly behind stars because it follows curved spacetime. The energy projectiles in question in Star Wars VIII arc in a parabolic trajectory through flat spacetime over much shorter distances.
I find similar at low speeds around town, but once at highway speeds (70-75 mph) in my LEAF, the aero drag means almost imperceptible downhills aren’t going to let the car accelerate with zero consumption.
Today we treat work by a professional as being of higher standard than an amateur. A pro footballer clearly plays better than someone in an amateur league.

But it was not always so.

In recent history "professional" indicated that the task was bounded by time, and thus constrained in quality. An amateur building say a clock could take unbounded time, and hence create a superior product whereas a professional had to sell the clock, so it had to be produced in affordable time.

John Harrison starts life as a carpenter, making some clocks on the side as a hobby, interested more in perfecting the concept of clock than selling clocks for money. (although he had a prize in sight for inventing an accurate nautical clock.)

Despite making only a handful of clocks in his life, he's credited as being the most important clock maker ever.

Thus it is with OSS. Given the lack of monetary benefit, the benefits of writing it have to be elsewhere. In the satisfaction of a job done well. In the beauty and elegance of the code. The timeless perfection.

Or the idea that OSS presence will look good on your CV and held get you that job. In which case just throw stuff at Github to make a "portfolio". Never to be looked at again.

I think it's safe to say that the majority of OSS is the later, but we are all better off for the fraction that is the former.

It's only better if the intersection has high, consistent pedestrian traffic. Unfortunately, many cities aren't built to be pedestrian friendly so those criteria are rarely met outside of busy cities, downtowns, and college towns.
There is no proof of social democracy being unpopular in Europe.

The only relevant political movements that advocate against social democracy are mainly extreme right wing. Even those are not growing - and usually collapsing afterwards - because of their individualistic approach to society but because of their appeal to people that feel migration is not good, that climate change doesn’t exist, etc.

Also, every time I read about “social democracy being a Ponzi scheme” along the demographics argument I feel an urge to remember that social democracy isn’t only the pensions system. Healthcare, education, infrastructure aren’t Ponzi schemes neither feasible from a pure individualistic approach.

Perhaps not. But the word standard has many meanings and inflections - and I can say that as someone who has served on technical standards committees. So what's your definition of the word?

Perhaps when mulling over the question you should keep in mind that Mozart's music has been at or near the top of both the listening and performance repertoire since 1791 and there isn't any hint of his popularity diminishing any time soon. 231 years at the top requires some some beating.

If popularity and the word standard are in anyway connected then with Mozart's music it's no contest.

Type 'Mozart' into YouTube and see how may hits you get.

Now, exactly what is your definition of the word standard?
FWIW, I can attest to 'music as a language' experience - in two different conversational modes.

First is the obvious one: Where the entities conversing is the music and myself. I think most people can relate to this unidirectional experience.

Second, and less observed mode, is when consuming mostly-instrumental type of music. Here the entities 'conversing' have to be inferred, but most often my mind will settle on giving each instrument a personality.

In this mode, I'm merely a bystander listening in on a conversation. I often automatically imagine these instruments talking to each other, and the act of listening is simply an act of interpreting what they are talking.

This would be nothing new to many people reading this, but I know many people who often don't listen to music. Check this short clip if you want to play with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf-QV8Z8Pww
Imagine if money didn't exist at all and we invented it today. It would be such an enormous technological game changer its value would change very very rapidly as we're going from zero to a huge "market cap" very quickly.

Imagine a pool. If you fill it with a lot of water rapidly, there's going to be a lot of turbulence. Doesn't mean that in the long run, as it gets filled, it won't settle down.

The volatility argument doesn't consider the fact that it's gone from zero to something big players and states invest in in 13 years. And that frankly it was not good enough to be digital cash but it's getting there. That's bound to cause a lot of turbulence.

The idea that someone lives in a supposedly developed country , has very worrying neurological symptomps and is not seen by a doctor for months is barbaric.

That's not what happened? She saw a doctor within a day, and was unfortunately misdiagnosed.

The 29-year-old couldn’t control her left side, even her face. “Literally the top of my head to the bottom of my foot on the left side of my body could not feel anything.” The next day, Agosto spoke with a doctor at the New York City hospital where she works as a medical secretary. He told her that she probably had a pinched nerve and to see a chiropractor.
>There’s a reason many of us struggle to read a book when we can watch some TV instead.

Most people don't watch TV to obtain information, yet at the same time, videos can convey information better than a book would thanks to audio and video. Quality audio and video material far surpass books when they augment the original text-only format. Shoddy video material is still preferred over shoddy writing for reasons beyond conveying information.

And that's the real issue. People are using bad writing and asynchronous communication skills as a cop-out to push more, not realizing their other communication skills are just as poor. Sure, the guy waving his warms during a presentation feels more humane, but how much does it really add one week after? You're stuck only with the notes he left, the notes you made (probably none) and your own memory probably muddied along the way. It's the same for meetings or any kind of call. Taking notes takes far longer if you ask the one conveying information to slow down so you can keep up. Most people are awful at communication in any form, and half of the problem comes from them trying to blame the medium or believing they are better using a different medium or it's flat-out the medium's fault. Newsflash: it's probably you, not the medium.

It's most astounding this has to be told to developers of all people. The field moves fast, new information is thrown out at rapid pace, the work is mostly mentally straining and you're expected to know a lot. Surely, that alone would make enough people question whether fast-paced, transient communication is a great fit. Writing is easier to point at people and say "this doesn't make sense" without the answer being another call.
Can't argue with US it seems ;-)

Is that a bicycle pedaled by a human, i.e., who converts calories into work at about 25% efficiency?

Does it take into account the farming and supply chain costs of that food it's about 15% efficiency by calorie, compared with gasoline which is close to 90% efficient IIRC. Or is it just food/fuel energy -> work?
The number of "# type: ignore" comments I've seen in all python codebases that use mypy seems to disagree. mypy is laughably primitive compared to advanced static typing systems: Rust, Haskell, OCaml, etc
I'd expect the train to be more efficient than the bike in terms of (load mass) * (distance traveled) / (energy used). Proportional to the size of the load, you lose a lot of energy to air resistance on a bike. Trains only push the air out of the way once on the front, and they're long, plus there's less friction from the wheels.
I am starting to question if "Intelligence", in popular understanding, is even a valid construct.

What our society associates with 'intelligence' is simply an ability to solve specific set of problem. If your situation demands a different set of problems (which is often, in real life), then your "IQ" is useless.

> There is no such thing as a buggy language.

How can you know if you don't have a verified formal description of your language's semantics?

It's very much possible (and imho even quite likely) that a lot of language definitions are self contradicting.

Of course one could argue that such self contradictions aren't "bugs" at all. But such an argumentation would seem very odd, imho, no matter one can actually "define" whatever one likes.
Your computer periodically syncs with other computers to compensate for the time drift. Posix is just an API and a set of conventions. What your computer syncs with (typically via NTP), is a bunch of very precise clocks. Without that, you'd have a lot of time drift. The reason POSIX ignores leap seconds is because a leap second is well below the margin of error that most computer clocks have. They simply are not precise enough. Without syncing they'd be drifting apart many seconds within days/weeks probably.

That's also why the leap second correction is not a big deal because it just happens when computers sync. A few seconds correction is just a routine correction. Happens all the time.
No, they held up the update over Copyright. Specifically, Apple's copyright on the Emoji's.

As is their right.
This seems to be using a kind of "reactionless drive" I.E. Movement without apparent exterior force. This kind of drive can't produce a net velocity, but can create repeated small translations.

To imagine how one would work in a space ship, imagine a very long ship that acts like a particle accelerator. Take an atom from the front end, accelerate backward to near the speed of light so that it's mass increases say 1000 times. While that atom is flying backward, your ship that pushed on it moves in the opposite direction. Catch it again in the rear, and the ship must return to zero speed because of conservation of momentum, however the ship is now in a slightly different spot.

Move that atom back to the front of the ship, but slowly so it's mass stays low. Your ship moves backward, but not quite as far as it moved before. Do this again and again to translate the ship. The net velocity of the ship will always be zero though.
Right, so as an old person, I should be brushing up my shaman credentials and ethnobotany knowledge…
Nicely worded.

As examples I would like to call out ffmpeg and x264. Years of refining and refining make it software of a quality that didn't exist before in the world of codecs.
Could add The Systems Bible (aka Systemantics) by John Gall. It certainly qualifies as quirky - I think I saw it described somewhere as the book that system designers read under a sheet with a torch at night to avoid being seen with it.
I don't see that the failure to contain Covid had anything to so with a market outlook. Rather, too many people refused to behave in ways that would slow the spread. Governments didn't do obvious things like focus testing early on the most at-risk and most-necessary people, from lack of overall competence. 100 years ago they might well have been just as incompetent.

The vaccines were developed from a market outlook, in fact. Though they could have been developed under any outlook.

Government, tribes and markets have coexisted for a long time. (Let's put religions in the tribal bucket too). The main thing different about the digital/electronic communication is the fostering of tribes that are physically dispersed. Exhorting these tribes to behave for the common good is more like a religion, it seems.

This blog post about Len Sassaman being Satoshi is very compelling. https://evanhatch.medium.com/len-sassaman-and-satoshi-e483c8...

However, there are some valid counter arguments in this thread, such as Satoshi coming out of retirement in March 2014 to state that he was not Dorian Nakamoto, in the wake of a Newsweek article that falsely fingered the latter as Satoshi.

Take Brussels, the EU capital. Euro 4 diesel cars are forbidden there now. Euro 5 became mandatory for new car registrations in 2011 [0]. That means 11 years old cars could still be Euro 4.

These are not old or bad cars to a lot of people. Many are not able to afford car mobility anymore due to low emission zone restrictions on these cars.

It's easy for the upper middle class or above running society to develop a blind spot for this. "Just buy recent a second hand car or a new Dacia Spring" is not the answer if the money for that is missing.

Has enough attention been paid to this social side of the low emissions zones? I'm not so sure.

On the calibration side, would it be possible to use fiducial markers (even a single Aruco) on the print bed to make an ortho projection of the print? You have the issue of print rotation relative to the bed, but I don't think there's an easy way around that if you allow removable beds. My gut feeling is that stereo would work but it'd be a pain to make reliable. ToF using something like a Kinect or RealSense might work at a coarse level (few mm).
What’s funny is that considering the waste and negligence described in the article, I bet it’s cheaper to wreck 104 real cars than to pay a VFX team to do it.

The Revenant is one of the last movies in recent memory that seemed to do something novel.

If we’re going to primarily be inundated with highly computer-influenced content, I prefer it to not try to look perfectly real which is why I’ve really enjoyed some of the animated series that have popped up recently. I’ll also admit that I’ve seen Into the Spider-Verse because my friends wouldn’t let me avoid it. I’ll give Marvel a pass on that one—the animation is amazing.
