Is it really unconscious? Isn't it a given that how you come off would dictate how others interact with you? And isn't it obvious that women have different countenance than men?

I am not justifying it mind you, I am just pointing out that gender is not special in this rather explicit bias that you are expected to be a certain type if a person based on appearance.

I hope it isn't appropriate to say this but I would be interested to see how biased interviews are when the woman is a lesbian who wears masculines clothing (jeans or plaid shirt or a manly suit). Would they still ask about family and such?
elixir takes the operational characteristics of the beam, which are by historical serendipity very desirable for implementing http servers, sands the rough edges off erlang's tooling, and gives the language a syntactic facelift that is very comfortable and non-threatening for ruby-on-rails-generation webdevs

in a similar spirit, phoenix takes cowboy, an http server written in erlang that very competently exploits the above-mentioned operational characteristics, and slots it into a relatively well-thought-out, ergonomic elixir web framework

in summary, it appeals to “wow cool shiny clean low boilerplate” etc., but at the same time is built atop solid tech, & so doesn't shit the bed when you scale. similar vibe to why people fall in love clojure (or so i am told on that count)
Hades is excellent but the procedural generation is not one of its main selling points, IMO. For me it’s the story (elevated mainly by incredible characters) and the combat. The procedural generation is simply a means to funnel you to combat scenarios in randomized orders, but it’s less like diablo where entire levels are created but just a series of interconnected handcrafted rooms that are randomly connected. There is no real exploration, each room basically funnels you to the next by giving you a choice of upgrade and a different door for each. The main gameplay loop is basically - enter room, kill everything, get upgrade, go to next room, restart when you die.
So if you’re looking for a diablo-clone, hades is not it - I would recommend Grim Dawn (but this doesn’t have procedural generation lol). Hades is still excellent but it’s Roguelite through and through, and one of the best ones at that.
Quick glance at things Reason is arguing against the consensus recently:

https://reason.com/tag/nutrition/

Drinking Alcohol is good for you.

You shouldn't eat less red meat.

Ignore health advice on bacon consumption.

You could let a few of these slide, because they're just being contrarian to get a clickbait headline and arguing against anything that democratic governments do, because that's their thing.

But alcohol and bacon and red meat? That's not really a gray area in the science is it.
Is that why it took long? I was under the impression it was because of diminishing gradients in backprop once you stack a huge amount of layers (the deep in deep neural networks).
Not same thing.
You would need to be able to reconstruct the input file bit-by-bit. S3 Clients expect to get back what they sent, exactly.

This puts a serious limitation on your compression. You would only be able to re-do the entropy coding part of DEFLATE, which is actually pretty good.

You would still need to store the original Huffman tables for each block, so you can reconstruct the entropy coding exactly.

I doubt this would even gain you a single percentage.
> text protocols are simple enough that the average quality of implementation is much lower (because barely-skilled developers can make something that mostly works without even looking at the specs).

And to be fair, the HTTP server that I did in fact write as a teenager in the late 90s (in the MOO programming language) was firmly in that category. I'm sure my mild wishing for those days is just nostalgia.
Yeah def had Serra and Beacon in mind as well as Naoshima, Teshima, Turrell, etc.
You (Americans) have decided that you don't want to give homeless people help. If the availability of actual no-strings-attached help in the US was more than a footnote, homeless people would come flocking to get it.

While there certainly are individuals whom it is very hard to help, that is the minority.
Sure, but many would argue that social science regularly fails to meet contemporaneous standards for epistemological rigor that physical sciences do.

Try to quantify or define unconscious bias. How many dimensions does it have?

Are there any provable social laws (in the sense of theorem::law, not lawyer::law)?
Does it support ARM as well as x86? I don't see anything about that.

Wouldn't that mean windows is superior in handling those monitors by applying the solution so the user won't need to go looking?

I understand the monitor manufacturers are at fault but the OS tries to be as compatible as possible and handles the hardware.
It's a longer term trend than even the "sexual revolution". My grandparents generation had plenty of families with 5-10 kids.

My parents generation had 2.5 kids, mostly in their mid to late 20s.

My generation will maybe start thinking about kids at 30.

You could maybe argue that women in the workforce is a social change that contributed to this, as one thing that did change at the beginning of this trend, but surely this as much a fault of the incentives of capitalism turning "Women can work now" to "All working age adults must work, no more stay-at-home parents". Casual relationships, LGBT acceptance, etc. are much later than this trend starting.
dry red with your grilled salmon

man I can't taste with your taste buds, but most red wine don't go well with fish. It's not an acquired taste, you know it the first time you pair a good wine with meat. Or a good champagne with smoked salmon. It's like putting salt on food for the first time of your life, it's another level of deliciousness. Of course you can drink whatever liquid with whatever food and like it. But it's not pure snobbery, it's a real thing.
No, your critiques are of how 7zip implements an archival format built on top of zstd. The zstd algorithm has no concept of files, only bytes.

Archival software then has to build a file format on top of the compression algorithm, and there are multiple ways to slice the problem. For example, a tar.gz will first tar everything into a big archive file, then feed it into gzip for compression. zip, on the other hand, feeds each file individually into the chosen algorithm (DEFLATE for most implementations).

Your critique is that the 7zip archive format is not suitable for use with zstd in the case of many small yet identical files. zstd is doing its job, just the archival format is not playing along.
Just because someone is experiencing mental illness doesn't mean they are irrational.

I'm not even sure it's possible to divide the world between "mentally ill" and "mentally well". And if you could, I'd be inclined to say almost anyone who has been in serious chronic pain for years cannot possibly be considered "mentally well". Pain takes its own toll.
A generation of stressed out young people too tired to go out and do anything after a long day and too anxious to make noise at home because their landlord might kick them out sounds like a fairly reasonable outcome of the economic situation I described above, but I agree, it’s not the thrust of this specific article, which I think misses out on the underlying cause of the change in behaviour.
Statistics are nice, but like I said, take a stroll around the Tenderloin, then the DTES of Vancouver and tell me if there is a difference.

A rich society has a billion existing options to fix this "problem".

Given the collective psychopathy of the majority, an immigrant has to be free and employable on day one to be acceptable while a state can pay the minimum it has to for a child but should be calculating how to make the child's parents suckers. If it goes over board on this calculation, working age population declines decades later which is politically very acceptable.

> Contemporary culture wars invoke and wield shame effectively

I’m not sure that’s true. They certainly attempt to cast shame, but more often than not, they fail to incite it, and fall back to ostracism and excommunication. Could the rise of those latter phenomena be explained by a decline in shame?
This is mentioned in the first post of the blog post series that is mentioned in the first sentence of the article!

The gist is, use `wasmer create-exe --target other-target-triple` to cross-compile with zig (if available) to the targets wasmer compiler backends (llvm, cranelift, and our custom "singlepass" backend) support.

Phoenix really is a joy to use, been using it in production for almost half a decade now. Elixir can have a somewhat steep learning curve, especially for junior devs, but the other side of it is a wonderful place to code.
Surprisingly, it isn’t. Accounting for societal factors like the sexual evolution and the cost of living, researchers have found that the culprit is something else. Researchers found that starting in the 1950s, male fertility has been on a consecutive year after year decline in countries where enough industrialization has taken place. So far proposed culprits range from PFAS or endocrine disrupters like BPA, but there’s no definitive conclusion yet
> The reality of this type of art is that it’s really easy to make. Most of the “skill” required to do stuff like this is the networking required to find somebody who will pay for it.

I disagree with this. Especially the "really easy to make" part. Is this easy from a technical perspective? Yeah I'd probably say so but I wouldn't think to make this or express an idea in this way. Critics of this art might say that's because I have better taste than the artist here but point is, even if something is "easy," execution is all that matters and I'm not confident most people who say it's easy could execute on it.
If you lose the war decisively, you have a chance to rebuild the state from scratch, including the legal system.

Wow I could have written that. The prof teaching my diff eqs course was a nice enough guy and I think tried to get the engineers interested by making the optimization problems as applicable to IRL as possible but it was dull and rote and I don't remember any of it 15 years later, but I feel like I could still pass a statics final so I don't think this is my problem per se.
I think it does benefit but I don't think many startups have any chance of getting in even if they have all the positives. People are incredibly biased (I basically only look at fundamentals myself; I don't really even care about the product if the spreadsheet makes sense) in how they select opportunities; there are enough examples of unicorns or very profitable companies that were shot down by YC or other similar high brow incubators. So I would say I agree with you; it's a big distraction unless you just pop over a video and sheet and they are begging for you to come in after seeing that.
I joked to a younger friend who goes on about boomers, that boomers ruined the economy and millennials ruined sex. He agreed.

Romanticism died in the mid-2010s. Being the knight who ventures into the world for the ideal love no longer works. The "bolt of lightning" style love is not enough to overcome economic and social pressures, people want more security in arranged and strategic marriages.

People who commit to a lust-driven lifestyle make tradeoffs on how they relate to potential partners. Porn has exploded and soaked up all the excess desire. People are working way too much to get time off to meet people and frequently compromise in exploring romantic connections at work.

Dating apps have turned dating into an image game and made a party lifestyle trivially easy. A lot of people have become cogs in a dating machine.

What makes people desirable in a relationship hasn't changed, it's just become way easier to give away what makes it work.

Finding desirable partners is much more difficult when everybody is falling for worldly errors. We need Christ to clean up sex. Star Wars is done, time for Sex Wars.
To be more exact, primitive societies can still collapse demographically (e.g. through a widespread plague or famine), but they don't have any extra complexity to lose.

Some of us are able to use shame as a motivator. I am the only individual in my known family that isn’t obese. Everyone on my mothers side and the few I know on my fathers side are all obese. While I was growing up I was told that I too would become obese once “your metabolism slows down.”

Fortunately that hasn’t happened because avoiding potential shame has guided my choices.

I used shame to give up alcohol and tobacco. I used shame to make corrections in my relationship with my wife.

Sure, if "artist" is merely a career and not an aspirational achievement in finding creative ways to reveal truth.
Based on your own standard, I'm wondering why people should take you seriously when you use terms like 'rabid'.
I think diminishing returns applies regardless of whether it's improving itself through optimization or breakthrough new ideas. There's only so much firepower you can squeeze out if everything else were to remain stagnant.

Like if all modern breakthroughs and disruptive new ideas in machine learning were sent back to the 70s, I don't think it'd make a huge difference when they'd still be severely hamstrung by hardware capabilities.
> See the moribund state of web development from approximately 2003 - 2013 when the web was bound to a monoculture of Internet Explorer.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration/retconning. Between NetCaptor, Maxthon, etc., that's the era that gave us huge innovations: tabbed browsing, popup blockers, ad blocking, site groups, search in the URL bar, and so much more. And CSS, and GeoCities, and streaming video and animated applets/games/Flash...

There was so much innovation going on, the real difficulty was in being able to display your content to your audiences. CanIUse wasn't around then and there were huge incompatibilities between IE, Netscape, Opera, eventually Phoenix, etc.

It wasn't the diversity in engines that allowed innovation, it was the market exploring different features and eventually converging on the ones that people really wanted. If anything, having redundant engines slowed down actual development. IE6 was king for a few short years, and in those few years the web was more stable than it ever was before or since, and content was king instead of engine differences.

For now Chrome has the best of both worlds: market dominance and rapid innovation. They have no meaningful challengers anymore... Firefox/Gecko is dead and WebKit is only a thing because of iOS, and thankfully it at least shares a heritage with Blink.

I think your link proves the opposite point: that the web ecosystem is wasting time on interop instead of actual features. We don't need three renderers that do roughly the same thing, but nothing exactly the same. It was Chrome's hegemony over the last 5-10 years that actually gave us huge leaps in web usability, dev specialization, best practices, and content creation. The real changemaker was making Javascript safe and fast enough that native in-browser programming became a reality.

There is no such thing as web standards in reality, only Blink and WebKit's mostly-compatible implementations. If we could move past that delusion and just converge resources on Blink/V8 and just evolve that, the web would be better off for it.
> You might want to consider adopting a more modern programming style

Just because some people think a particular style is useful doesn't mean everyone does. You might want to consider checking your biases before making comments like this. I understand the (many) arguments for using `const`, and I've concluded (for myself) that it's not a useful construct. Read and internalize the rest of my previous comment for more information.

Primitive societies do not collapse or grow much. They just stagnate. It might be nice living (I would surely enjoy some hunter-and-gatherer lifestyle), but there is basically no progress over centuries or even millennia.

To look at one extreme example, Neanderthal stone tools (Mousterien) haven't changed very much over 100 000 years of their existence.
I remember Ventura Publisher! I used it to typeset school newsletters. The alternative was Aldus PageMaker but that ran on either Mac or Windows 3.1 and I only had a PC XT then, so I ran Ventura on DOS.

It definitely looked like a GEM app. I don't know if it could actually run under GEM or if it used a GEM runtime underneath (it came as a standadalone). But it was my gateway DTP app -- it was quite powerful and full-fledged for a DOS GUI app. I later moved to PageMaker and then QuarkXPress (all of these predated InDesign).

'Biases' is a poorly defined term. So is the goal of 'creating awareness. In most cases, given historical persecution of 'othered' identities, people understand that agenda as a positive thing and it certainly is.

However, it also gives cover to people to play power games, treat others like shit, and feel morally righteous about it. "I'm just expanding your awareness about your unconscious biases. I'm helping you."

Thank you for more eloquently writing the reply I wanted to write.

Even the backlash against art that strays from mere visual sugar isn’t new in our history.

It's where the concept of equity for all leads. When no one is inherently worse or better than anyone else, it becomes mere bigotry to pass any kind of judgment.
Small picture is that white wines are supposed to pair up better with fish, and chicken while red wines go with red meats.

The big picture is that this is a shibboleth[1]. Humans, or some humans, seems to delight in finding ways to define the in-group and the out-group. Signs marking you as an outsider can be anything. Where i have grown up wearing the wrong kind of shoelaces in your boots meant that you are not a “real” rocker but a wannabe. Listening to the “wrong” bands, or listening to the right bands “wrong” can be a similar signifyer. Or wearing socks with your sandal, or asking for ketchup in a high end italian pizza place, or eating pineappe on your pizza. They all signal that you don’t belong to some group because you don’t behave according to some arbitrary norms the group made up for this very purpose.

1: funnily the word itself acts as one. There is of course the biblical story where soldiers where able to tell undercover enemies apart from the general population based on how they pronounced the word shibolleth. But also the fact that someone knows this story can signify that someone is “cultured”, or at least classically read or whatever. (Or as is the case with me had the pleasure of integrating with the authentication system of the same name.)
One example was Russians who want to anonymously donate to Ukraine using a mixer. Of course there are good uses. Legal status can change, and usually does to suite special interests or corrupt politics, quashing the freedoms of others along the way.
This is exactly my experience with my differential equation lessons in my maths classes at Year 1 and Year 2 undergraduate chemical engineering. The way we were told to just follow the instructions and not have any critical thinking at all about what we were doing made me so unmotivated that I sort of gave up learning differential equations. I was lucky this was during lockdown, so I was assessed by online tests and was able to get through it, but my god was the teaching so so unengaging.
