This just adds fuel to a really stupid fire. There are real racists and white suprematists out there. By firing people because they’re white and pretending it’s progressive, you recruit for the actual racists.

Progressive causes have some of the best opportunities right now to win and make actual change. Instead they’re alienating people as much as is possible by taking their issues to ridiculous extremes.
This is unfalsifiable: are you saying that there's some unquantifiable number of perfectly competent criminals? How would we go about verifying that?

On an individual level, I am positive that there are criminals that escape the (not particularly competent) techniques of DHS/CBP. But the GP's claim (that Federal criminals are, as a category, completely above and beyond this kind of enforcement) is just not true.
I generally agree with selling as soon as possible but there are some significant capital gains tax advantages for holding vested RSUs for a year. 15 to 20% vs. 32 to 37%.
Surely, nobody in Dachau knew what what have been happening in one of the very first nearby concentration camp on the daily basis. It originated few years before the second world war.

How to make DNA synthesis affordable

You made a bad bet. Many engineers optimize for high growth 4-year grants above all else.
Good callout. Yeah, I should be referring to the electrical circuit as a 15A circuit and not that it's just a limitation of the breaker.

We have the original fabric sheathed wire as well in the walls still which needs to be replaced to modernize the electrical system.

This is wrong. You are saying, this is so established that entertaining any alternative is wrongheaded. No. That's not how it works. We need dissent even in the middle of battle. We need to re-asses and continuously examine what we hold true to ensure it is still true. People are not gods. We can be in the wrong. This echoes GWBushe's you're either with us, or you're against us. It's a made up dichotomy.
> Is there a logical fallacy for this?

I call it the "fallacy of the crowd" and I agree it is very common.

I first noticed it enough to give it a name (and then see it everywhere!) about 12 years ago.

Not just online, and it's not always talking about a negative, i.e. apparent hypocrisy or contradiction. It is also used to talk about apparent consequence or implication.

E.g. political campaign speeches often use it. "They" this so "they" that; "they" this and then "they" that; "they" say this yet "they" do that: Different subsets of people referred to by "they" in the same sentence or train of thought.

It's a great rhetorical trick for persuading large numbers of people of something rousing yet wrong.
> Never in history were "people of color denied from existing without harassment", etc.

I would suggest reading about Jim Crow, Red Lining, the fight against school integration, New York's Stop and Frisk, and a "Black Lives Matter" movement fighting against cops regularly shooting unarmed black men to death. I would suggest those things, if I had any indication your statements were being made in good faith.

And yet if you look at most tech stocks that "halved" this year (which, btw, is an overstatement for most), they're still up from 2 years ago. My company's stock is down 25% but my RSUs that vested this year were still worth a hell of a lot more than when they were granted 2,3, or 4 years ago.
1 million websites, a bit above 60 million documents in the index; the crawl is a couple of hundred million but a lot of it gets filtered out for various reasons.

The crawler itself is aware of 470 million URLs.

I've actually had it up to 50 million before, but that was a lot noisier data with fewer keywords per document. The current 60 million is significantly "bigger" than the old 50 million. Index size is not actually a great metric for how comprehensive a search engine is. A small index with good signal-to-noise ratio is much more useful than a large one where 95% is chaff.

100 million is my current goal. I think that's about what's doable on my current hardware. It also gets increasingly unwieldy to deal with the data. I've already got processes that require several days non-stop computation.

Nope. There are some concerns about using openssl for file encryption and it is generally good to be very specific about the encryption instead of using default parameters. I don't necessary share all the concerns, but it might be worth knowing them, e.g. https://security.stackexchange.com/a/182281

Just because you didn't run into these problems doesn't mean they don't exist. The clients I do work for have very complicated requirements and expect a lot of dynamic interactions from the forms they pay for. It could be a non profit trying to determine if a new client's family qualifies for federal benefits based on family size and income level. It could be a gas pipeline company trying to calculate how much natural gas they can deliver on a 60 day contract during summer months versus winter months. It could be calculating the medication dosage per body weight for a pharmaceutical company. There was the life insurance example which I mentioned in the article.

Ruby will parse "3.9e3" properly. However Ruby on Rails param parser tries to prevent bad data from entering the system. So the e gets sliced off. There are things that you can do to prevent data from being entered that way.

However like I mentioned in the article and commented on multiple times its not always my choice. And overwhelmingly the product managers and stake holders I interact with would prefer to not see numbers submitted in scientific notation form. There's no reason why you would want to submit your age like that. It's highly unlikely anyone would need a product quantity value in that format.

And maybe most importantly the people who pay tell me all the time they don't want it. Does that make sense?
I am very suspicious of people who say everyone need to just chill out and ignore a fundamental issue that they personally do not deem fundamental enough. Further comments would be useful indeed, but the document is explicit enough as is.
It’s not hypocritical. Most of the comments I saw in the initial thread clearly supported both angles. “Wow that sucks, but huge congrats to the team!”

Isn't this just the gambler's fallacy? Yes, markets over a given period of time will likely conform to a particular distribution of performance, with some below-average periods and above-average periods that average out. But that does not mean that if there is an extended time period of terrible performance now, X years from there is likely to be a very strong rebound to compensate.
What's more sad is that nowadays you're expected to have not only breadth of knowledge (sacrificing depth) but to also learn fast. We romanticize speed. We want the chef who creates quality food in fast food speeds!

Something that the author of the article could also touch upon is that, lack of resources was also a boon. I recall reading interviews of great programmers of the yesteryear saying how they would "read the same book twice over to understand deeply" and "sometimes I'd read the same concept from another book to make it really click", one of them being John Carmack!

A naive assumption I made after reading statements like those was this: When performing, sometimes you go fast to pressure yourself but under that pressure the odds of delivering quality work is greatly reduced. However, when comprehending something new, you cannot romanticize speed. You almost have to value comprehension and depth. Speed comes as a byproduct of the hours spend understanding.

Instead of that we favor speed of questionable learning quality, we tag ourselves "jacks of all trades" because you know enough Next.js to ship the product but not enough to tell what you could have done better or even why we chose to do A over B outside of "the stackoverflow answer told me to". That is, until the client complains. We really misuse the whole "premature optimization is the root of all evil" to "premature readability", "premature anything". Gotta go fast!

tl;dr aside from the programming environment, not having access to "quick and dirty" answers to any problem affected everyone's expectations of delivery and performance, and that also played a role in how we learned.
No, because with schizophrenia things that should have no salience whatsoever become very salient to you. I.e. scales all being rectangular (thus making the diet industry run by a bunch of Pythagorean rectangle-worshipping cultists) or something.

Lets say this is two thousand pages altogether (half of them is War and Peace). That would be 70 pages a day. This is doable even with a full time job. Certainly more than the average person reads, but easily done for an voracious reader with a flexible schedule.

I don't know how time consuming it was to be a folk music star, but they weren't expected to workout and train choreography all day, the way pop stars are today.

Despite its reputation War and Peace is actually a pretty easy read. Perhaps except the final essay with Tolstoy philosophy of history.

The platforms do it because of armies of miserable people online looking for an outlet to their outrage.

So the platforms are stuck trying to appease the angry mob, while spending as little resources on it as possible (hence, shitty algorithms).

And I think I even know where the mob came from. Humans apparently have an intrinsic need to have some goals to be passionate about. And since the "economies of scale" have optimized away individual decision-making as outlets for passion, we see a surge of the good-old tribal instincts.

Cancel culture is certainly a progress from stabbing and eating the members of the competing tribe, it is still a manifestation of the same kind of instinct that will bring nothing good until people find (or, likely, create) a bigger problem to worry about.

You can skim the Wikipedia article I linked if you're actually interested in the (heavily researched) consequences of redlining, many of which happened up into the 2000s and all of which urbanists are still trying to mitigate today.

My reaction is literally one of confusion, not "performative hedging". The charitable read of most of the comments here is a profound lack of historical knowledge ("these areas were classified as hazardous, and the violence there is why white people left"), and an uncharitable one is thinly veiled racism ("minorities by definition are violent").

UpCodes cofounder here, couldn't agree more. We're fighting the Law Publishers for free, ungated access to the law. They think they own the laws, it's insane.

While I would avoid trying to time the market, anyone starting now has a much lower "cost basis" (they're not spending money, it's not a cost) and better chance at their RSUs appreciating while they vest. Using the last 12 months as a guide for the next 4 years isn't a reasonable way to analyze this.
TikTok-Owner ByteDance Offers to Buy Investors’ Shares After Scrapping IPO Plan
> The Linux CPU frequency governor literally uses it as part of the algorithm for calculating its sampling rate

Yes, the governor can play a role. It's visible to the user, which is the point. Also, the ondemand governor is actually irrelevant to the article as the S821 and S670 used the interactive and schedutil governors respectively, and the i5-6600K was using speed shift.

I think we're disagreeing because I really don't care about how fast a CPU could pull off frequency transitions if it's never observable to users. I'm looking at how it's observable to user programs, and how fast the transition happens in practice.

> Processor still performs periodic sampling...

Same as the above, that's not the point of the article. I'm not measuring "what could theoretically happen if you ignore half the steps involved in a frequency transition even though a user realistically cannot avoid them without serious downsides" (like artificially holding the idle voltage high and drawing more idle power, as in the Piledriver example)

> In any case, a multi-millisecond delay in switching frequency isn't because the processor is waiting for the voltage to increase.

Yes, there are other factors involved besides the voltage increase. I never said it was the only factor, and did mention speed shift taking OS transition commands out of the picture (implying that requiring OS commands does introduce a delay in CPUs without such a feature).

If you want to test how fast a CPU can clock up, without influence from OS/processor polling, please do so and publish your results along with your methodology. I think it'd be interesting to see.

Okay, so what is your take on the issues GP identified? Or is the only conclusion you can arrive at "it's complicated"?

GP made the very salient point that some things are clearly bad. Blind clinging to the idea that everything has two sides is just as simplistic as thinking everything can be viewed from a perspective which is just as moral as every other. Except maybe even more so, because at least the moral simplicity of black and white forces us to show flag instead of hiding in "neutrality".

Nihilism, strong moral relativism and contrarianism without a constructive goal are lazy pseudo intellectual positions that do not serve any constructive purpose (be it insight or improvement of the material world) and serve only as deflections and comfort arguments.

And for those that disagree with me: I'd love to hear where and why I'm wrong about thinking "Putin and other authoritarian strong men are worse than democratically elected politician" and "there are degrees of corruption, and the west is less corrupt than Russia". Because I've got evidence for these beliefs (the industrial output of Russia and Putin's palace being only two data points). What's yours?
The reality is that RSUs are a better deal because of the unlimited upside. If my RSUs go to zero, I jump to another company and reset my cost basis- there is actually little risk here beyond the first year lock up.

Criminals who get caught do more or less the same things that ordinary citizens do, because the systems setup to catch them assume they'll act like a normal person, because you catch the greatest number of criminals that way. By definition, we have no information about what criminals who don't get caught do, because they're never identified as criminals. That's the point.

Selection bias is the most powerful force in the universe.

It's weird that people who complain about these things don't complain about legacy applications when:

- they're a practice originally designed to keep up out Jews and Catholics (not in a veiled "politically correct" way, that's what they were openly for: https://www.jstor.org/stable/23055549)

- the legacies they uphold were established at a time where blacks couldn't even go to the same schools are whites. Ruby Bridges is in only now her 60s after desegregating a black elementary school. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Bridges)

It really seems if this is about equality in schooling, you wouldn't see one complaint without the other.
>There's not much more you can do in that situation.

'Deep learning from the Foundations' was the previous version of this new course, but both built on their respective part 1s. So part 1 is 'practical deep learning for coders', very good intro to DL for getting things done that starts with big wins using pretrained models and then digs into them enough that you know how to make them better. Part 2 is for those wanting to go all the way to implementing the ideas 'from scratch', reading papers and diving into advanced topics.

> AsciiDoc's flagship feature is the include directive (think partials). GitHub rendering doesn't support it. On GitLab you are limited to ~30 includes, after which your document just spits out source. So in most cases, you can't preview AsciiDoc files that use the include directive without cloning the repo and previewing it locally.

Does Markdown support partials/includes, and does Github honor them? I don't believe it does... (I tried googling about it, didn't find anything, but I could be wrong) so not sure how this can be used as an argument against asciidoc.

> When you take away the include directive you have a less elegant syntax that is harder for contributors to read, much less adopt.

Markdown and AsciiDoc syntax are extremely [0]similar, and AsciiDoc supports markdown's syntax.

Not fake but better metrics. There are always many different metrics that are available and the choice of metric is often arbitrary. What EEOC is doing is pointing out that if a metric disproportionally affects some protected category then it is likely a flawed metric for the use case. Again, since there are many different metrics that are available, you can just try another one until you find one that satisfies both your business and diversity needs.
