No that's mostly wrong. A group of Indo-Europeans did enter India, but North Indians were likely relatively lighter-skinned at that point already. It's true that Brahmins (the priestly caste which had the most privileged status in the ritual hierarchy, though they lacked the economic wealth of business-oriented castes) have the most Indo-European steppe ancestry (controlling for region, as North Indian lower castes have more steppe ancestry than South Indian Brahmins), but beyond that the correlation is much more complex. Many tribals and untouchables in North India have more Indo-European ancestry than the wealthy business castes for example.

The most charitable interpretation is that they are attempting to increase representation in the pipeline of candidates, such that their unbiased, neutral selection process will naturally produce outcomes representative of their candidate pool.

That’s legal.

In reality, when you have companies literally setting hiring targets on the basis of protected characteristics?

It’s very unlikely that the selection process is neutral to those protected characteristics, which is not legal.
2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence: "Users in this category who do not have MFA enabled on the UI and API or UI and gem signin level will not be able to edit their profile on the web, perform privileged actions (i.e. push and yank gems, or add and remove gem owners), or sign in on the command line until they configure MFA."

Practical engineering made an interesting video last month on reservoir, watersheds and how and why they get built to manage water supply and floods.

"What Happens When a Reservoir Goes Dry?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu9qy4DyKlo
First: I feel like it already has, and did so way back in the day. Excel and Access (modern version Airtable) are no/low code tools that drastically expanded the set of things that business users/domain experts could do without a "programmer", and have likely supplanted a number of that would have been developed by "real developers" if they didn't exist.

So the question is how much of that power can you push to those end users vs what needs to be held by "proper developers". I could see tools like advanced versions of co-pilot expanding the scope of what people can do to the point where only very high scale, very universal things are built by "proper developers".
I use a password manager to store my credentials, TOTP codes and stored secondary codes. Yes, that does make my password manager more of a risk, but for that reason, I use a strong and unique password for the password manager, have a password manager that has its own security key that is required for access from new devices, etc.

When I transfer phones, all that stuff comes with me.

For worst case scenarios, I have a few spare YubiKeys setup that I can use in the event that something goes haywire. And in a safe deposit box, I have a YubiKey and a printed out copy of my 1Password emergency kit. So that if someone drives into my house and it burns down, I do have an option.

But I agree that this is a lot of stuff to keep track of. That’s why I’m glad that Passkeys are being adopted by the big players (Apple, Microsoft, Google) and that we’ll see consumer rollout of this sort of thing, which should make this a lot better.

There’s no such thing as a system without a threat model — and biometrics can be imperfect, but I’m much more comfortable with that or even relying on my current MFA setup than I would be using SMS 2FA or no 2FA!
Maybe you can enlighten everyone on why exactly it is a bad paper, by pointing out the first red flag(s) found in the proof itself, assuming you have read and analysed the entire paper to get to that conclusion.

It is not good enough to draw a conclusion without a detailed explanation for a substantial claim like this 'proof'.
The issue is that many such drivers are anti-social, even if their intention is not necessarily to annoy people.

If they want to rev their engine and whatnot, I'm not fundamentally against it. I love me a nice-sounding engine and the visceral sensation it gives you.

But please don't do it under my window when I'm trying to work, or worse, at 2 AM when I sleep. That's just a dick move. Go out in the countryside, where the trees will cut down the noise.

Ditto for motorbikes with loud pipes. That's an absolute nuisance.

And I am, myself, a motorcyclist with a big-ass bike. I just don't rev it above 4000 RPM in the city, so it's quieter than most cars, even at the red light (the stock exhaust has a flap that closes below 5-6000 RPM).
To some extent, people don‘t quit jobs, they quit managers.

I ran across this channel after their first video about the sinking water levels. It has been interesting and a little scary watching updates over the summer as they return to the same places and show how far the water has dropped. Their channel also helped get a guy get his houseboat unstuck that had grounded after the engine quit (another YouTuber did it but was tipped off by SinCityOutdoors).

Introducing Scraft - https://scraft.ai

Scraft is an AI-powered writing tool (free!) designed to train critical writing skills. It helps you practice crafting better arguments and expressing your ideas into writing.

Based on the entered topic, Scraft asks you questions and suggests relevant articles you can refer to. Additionally, follow our Plan-Draft-Write program to organize and express your ideas in a well-written draft, step-by-step.

This started as a small side project in January 2022, but it ended up as a full tool that took eight months of solo-development during my gap year. Hope you guys enjoy using it; I’m open to any feedbacks and suggestions!
The ideal place for a hydroelectric dam is what's called a slot or "gunsight" canyon. Narrow and high, to create the best conditions with the smallest dam. Dams in wide, relatively flat places like along the Columbia River exist, but they are multi-purpose, built for flood control, irrigation, navigation (with channels and locks), and recreation benefits in addition to hydroelectric.
Hydrological cycles are measured in decades/centuries. Ideally, you’d start siting solar and batteries near Hoover Dam to rely on existing transmission infra. Nameplate capacity is roughly 2GW, so lots of transmission capacity available. Boulder City (to the SW of Hoover Dam) has some solar generation resources already, unsure if that area is close enough though. TLDR Plan for dead pool and inability to generate hydro power.

The main point is getting 99% of consumer transport electrified.

If you take your old stick shift gas car out for a 100 mile drive once a month, who cares.

You'll have plenty of cars to pick from when EVs start ushering out the old dirtburners into obsolescence. Hopefully the EV drivetrain gets so cheap that it becomes a tsunami.

It's not like EVs won't be fun to drive with low center of gravity skateboards and hyperfast acceleration. I would guess that after a few decades of driving EVs, the ICEs and their gear shifts and smell will quickly lose their charm with practically everyone.

I hope that with a really cheap and compact EV motor+battery, classic cars get massively retrofitted to be electic. You already see it in some auction cars. An electric motor is not that big. If/when a good compact solid state battery is mass produced, then you can probably cobbly a kit for the standard engine mounts that has the electric motor + batteries in one engine block replacement kit.

They can pipe in simulated engine block sound.

I will so miss stick shift however.

Sometimes you have to live where you can afford. If you are a public teacher in San Francisco you likely have a very long commute.

Sadly this isn't as uncommon as you think, we're basically pricing out whole classes of people from living nearby their jobs.

Where I live, Boston/Cambridge, there are many people that commute into the city because they pay slightly more than the suburb cities but at the cost of tremendous commute times because they can no longer afford to live in the city.
That's different than power generation. If the reservoir goes dry, the power plant can't generate energy. That video is about drinking and irrigation water for communities.

Making robots more helpful with language
I only mention WPF because you brought up Win32. If you can acknowledge it is not completely the same then maybe do not bring that up at all. The drawing part of the Win32 API is actually probably closer to Xlib and Xaw than it is to GTK. And those libraries have not really changed in 30 years or so. With some hacking I bet you could get Xaw widgets to display in a GTK4 window.

That Joel article is more of a rant than a coherent statement, it is not reasonable to ask developers to stop working on new APIs and libraries.

>None of these are the case with Gtk though.

But this is incorrect, development can continue independently on old versions of GTK.

Yes but you have to keep in mind that droughts are really different in the northeast. Our reservoirs are all over 90% full. We like them at 100%, but it really isn’t all that unusual to have dry spells in July and August. People are conserving water right now because it’s the right thing to do, but nobody thinks that this is going to extend too far into the fall

As a whole the company reports figures showing mixed diversity within the company, but it is really sort of segregated inside because folks don't really mix within immediate groups or teams. So if you're from a typical Caucasian descent, it's hard to adjust within groups like that. One reason is because it is hard to connect - business thinking is different, world views, work ethics, communication style... so I don't blame folks for hiring similarly. For groups when you "need to get things done" it makes sense, but for creative thinking and problem solving, you really should have diversity within the team itself.
It may still have been tricky to get regulatory approval, though. I can’t share my sources or specifics, but I do know stories of strings being pulled and crash tests being fudged in order to get a muscle car’s new model cleared to sell.

Safety standards are getting strict enough that they do influence the physical shape of the car, because the physical shape of the car influences your options for how to dissipate energy in a collision.

> The barrier to install native software should be very, very high.

No, the barrier that the software must leap to do awful things to your computer should be very high.

Folks complain about the secure enclave, the signing requirements, the notarization, sandboxes, etc. But those are all barriers on the producer side. App stores help mitigate this. Folks don't think twice about downloading an iOS app from the app store (I do, but I'm not normal -- I hate apps). Look at the hoops Apple had to, and continues to, go through to keep applications from unknowingly looting the user.

The most criminal thing, historically, done by Windows over the ages was simply requiring EVERYTHING to be "admin". You couldn't install Minesweeper without typing in your password. So, everyone, naturally, automatically, does so without a second thought. They're conditioned that this is OK.

It's not OK. It was never OK. The whole idea of having to do that, type in your password to install software, should have a big red, DO NOT DO THIS, bouncing and dancing bear around it.

The Mac has always had less of this. Seems most of the exploits require users to download software and give it admin privileges. Yea, Don't Do That.

Of course, the problem is the culture. It would be nice to not have to Caveat Emptor every darn thing under the assumption that it's horribly dangerous. It would be nice to grab a plum off a display and eat it without having to vet the vendor. But, bad actors, rampant bad actors, and rampant "good actors" behaving badly, have proven that we just don't live in that kind of world.

Installing "safe" software, should be simple.
> having unprotected sex

Ah yes, the Jargon File said things about that: http://catb.org/jargon/html/S/SEX.html

> SEX: /seks/ 1. Software EXchange. A technique invented by the blue-green algae hundreds of millions of years ago to speed up their evolution, which had been terribly slow up until then. Today, SEX parties are popular among hackers and others (of course, these are no longer limited to exchanges of genetic software). In general, SEX parties are a Good Thing, but unprotected SEX can propagate a virus.
While I understand the sentiment, it is an incredibly broad statement. What defines better / worse for you? On a macro level, it seems the world is getter better every year - fewer people die of starvation, lethal diseases are cured or rate of spread slowed at least, less man hours are required to feed, cloth, and shelter the human race.

That being said, it seems many people are upset because the benefits are now evenly spread. That seems to me to be a very philosophical topic. There are many articles about income inequality, wealth inequality, etc. They do not seem to acknowledge that being able to watch tv, fly in an airplane, have air conditioning are things kings and queens did not have 100 years ago.

How about picking some objective metrics that you care about and see how they are trending? It will give you a more objective starting point to ask the question of whether things are getting better or worse.
Thanks to OP for sharing. I'd not heard of this source before and would never have found it on my own.
This might be it. Good catch. A machine that can perform all integer arithmetic operations (+, -, *) in constant time can solve all problems in PSPACE in polynomial time.
I would assume that same thinking can be applied to both, although reduced hydraulic head would lower the power capacity making it not completely linear as is the case with water supply.

The entire video is about how you take an variable supply and turn it into something consistent and the engineering challenges required to do so.
If you're an innovator and think along this trend, then you're fighting the fight in the trenches where Facebook and TikTok are already embedded and winning, and AI already promises to win the next round.

For me, the question is where can there be a shift that causes the existing competition to become derailed altogether? And how can you help induce such a change, and ride the wave?

For example, imagine a social shift away from the "online all the time" trend to "hanging out with people IRL", riding the end-of-covid wave.

You need the proof to show it really works in all cases. However if the goal is some quick (non-exhaustive) verification, then why can't you just use the algorithm? (Ignoring the big constants, high degree polynomial issue siblings mention).

Either A, it doesn't work, showing the paper is incorrect. Or B it works, showing that even if it doesn't prove the paper fully correct, it shows that at least something interesting is going on.
