> What does a name have to do with race?

"race" when speaking of humans is the most undefined term you can come up with. It basically doesn't have any real scientific meaning anymore, that's why people call everything "racism" when in reality it often is something else.

> A race is a categorization of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society.[1] The term came into common usage during the 1500s, when it was used to refer to groups of various kinds, including those characterized by close kinship relations.[2] By the 17th century, the term began to refer to physical (phenotypical) traits, and then later to national affiliations. Modern science regards race as a social construct, an identity which is assigned based on rules made by society.[3][4] While partly based on physical similarities within groups, race does not have an inherent physical or biological meaning.[1][5][6] The concept of race is foundational to racism, the belief that humans can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another.

> Even though there is a broad scientific agreement that essentialist and typological conceptions of race are untenable,[14][15][16][17][18][19] scientists around the world continue to conceptualize race in widely differing ways.[20] While some researchers continue to use the concept of race to make distinctions among fuzzy sets of traits or observable differences in behavior, others in the scientific community suggest that the idea of race is inherently naive[9] or simplistic.[21] Still others argue that, among humans, race has no taxonomic significance because all living humans belong to the same subspecies, Homo sapiens sapiens.

I feel like the spelling should be updated to Behꙮlders, or better yet, BehꙨꙮlders, to reflect that (of course, this would only make sense once the glyph update actually hits).
same here... I watch every episode thrice. It's _that_ good, to me, and way better than the films.
I don't know how you're improving your case here at all.

>> people have been killed by law enforcement for doing what you are suggesting.

> Can you cite any examples of this happening? I’m a pretty big policing reform person and follow this stuff closely and can’t think of a single case like this.

And at this point, you decided to react with snark. Here's why that was wrong:

1. George Floyd is an example of what happened to George Floyd, so why would he ask for an example of what happened to George Floyd? Is that arguing in good faith?

2. Did you honestly think a "pretty big policing reform person" wouldn't be aware of George Floyd? This is why his question was clear to everyone.

3. George Floyd's case was actually irrelevant to the thrust of the discussion, which was the perils of refusing to allow a search of property at a border.
I want to be that person that has so much time on their hand they can afford to waste it on pointless things like this.
There are two Reddits, or rather a million.

There are the default front-page subreddits, that attract "the masses."

Then there's everything else, and each of those subreddits has its own moderation team and culture. They range from trash to gold. Generalizing about these is almost always off-base.
I'm not trying to argue that the "pot" is an actual pot of money, it's obviously a metaphor.
It's the worst hegemony...except for all of the others. It doesn't have to be perfect.
Hopefully they can fix it. I had that model for work (the i7, though) and it was better for me but it still greatly struggled with heat management with a normal office workload (video call, editor, some documents, browser.)

The corollary is that macOS’ increasing reliance on GPU all over the system is really nice on Apple Silicon, where they don’t need to make such a stark trade-off between GPU power and battery, and can scale usage smoothly.
I'm the same, but I found out I really like rucking (weighted marches). Grab a backpack, put some weight on it, and take a walk around your neighborhood while listening to a good podcast. Currently I walk 4-5km with a 14kg backpack, 3-4x a week. Some more details here: https://www.artofmanliness.com/health-fitness/fitness/the-be...

Why you should use Data Classes in Python

Oh but they'll surely try. You can't say that small things like "reality" ever really touch corporate IT and box ticking auditors.

It seems like this might be coupled to some kind of teaching program that helps you become a more efficient writer. Maybe something that could recap your session and offer a focused lesson on, say writing a paragraph from a prompt.
If by "the DEI people" you mean "students who were only able to be there because someone made a conscious effort to do diversity outreach" then yes. They would be opposed to someone suggesting that they should stop the outreach so that people like them could no longer be there.

His piece (you can read it here: https://www.newsweek.com/diversity-problem-campus-opinion-16...) is more of the same intellectually dismissive rhetoric that we've seen a thousand times before. As usual it's got all the same nonsensical discriminatory suggestions that don't actually help people, like "support charter schools" and "we should use a process based on merit and qualifications alone" and "we should build a system that uses merit and qualifications alone but is also unbiased". And just for fun he suggests at the end that any university even considering how to approach race issues is somehow comparable to nazism. This is just bad writing, I don't blame the students for being upset. Have you noticed how very few students who are actually underprivileged would ever share these views?
$100 / article is quite low, most developers will make this in an hour or two. Writing high quality technical content takes much longer, 10-20 hours per page, making it a series can get per page time lower.
Hopefully you're not serious... do you believe some post about the Kardashians would be more appropriate?
I have a 1:28 half-marathon PR, a 3:07 marathon PR, I've twice run 100 miles in under 24 hours, and I can't imagine even more.

That said, the marathon WR is 2:01:39 which is 4:38.39/mile (2:52.98/km). So Sorokin is running about 55% slower than that, or what would be considered an easy pace for an elite marathoner. AFAIK, we have yet to see an elite marathoner transition to ultras. However, there are quite a few elite ultra-marathoners who run marathons. The one I'm most familiar with is Michael Wardian:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Wardian

He's run both a 2:17:49 marathon and finished 15th as Western States (19:32:07).

And to be clear: I'm not diminishing Sorokin's amazing accomplishment here. I've run a 24 hour race. I got to 105 miles. I'm just noting what the best in the world are capable of at different distances.

Humans are amazingly adaptable. I'm reminded of Howard Schatz’s Athlete series of photographs:

Nobody plays perfectly. Engine prep only goes so far. The draw rates in chess are in part due to both sides being human; many opportunities are missed. An engine will tear apart any human even from an inferior position, so there's plenty of play in that margin
Not just a supply shock. Supply shock of food and/or fuel(energy). These are the absolutely need to have that you can't stop buy no matter what. Demand can't go down. Prices of food and fuel going up, you stop buying nice-to-have to keep up with food and fuel prices.

You can actually find food/fuel scarcity in every case of hyperinflation where we have some kind of statistics (which in less than 2 centuries).

Scarcity of nice-to-have goods and services will not trigger hyper inflation.
That’s what I mean by optimizing for efficiency. They’d rather not spend the money to operate in a way that allows for them to be secure or redundant.

Ask HN: Should u unsubscribe to learning platforms that don't have much benefit
I am interested in computer programming and hacking. Last year, I spent 1500USD on some learning platforms like frontend master, raywanderlich, pentesterlab, HackTheBox, Tryhackme Brilliant etc.

Today I realised these platforms don't bring any real value to my career. I subscribe in to them and did some courses because I was curious. But the ROI was not good for my career.
Now straying far off the topic, how about when this goes the other way around? When authors attach their names to books they do not write (e.g. James Patterson with <name in much smaller type>) or who might not even be alive (V.C. Andrews or Robert Ludlum)?

This actually reminds me of "Richard Bachman" which was Steven King using a pen name and fake picture which I think was striving for the opposite effect.

You have to login. Then on map there is "GPX" button.
Views can be updatable though there are caveats, but deletes and updats can be done via a function or stored procedure, meaning there's no direct access by the app to the underlying schema. If it's done well it means that the calling code in the app won't have to change (or at least be minimised) even as the schema changes. The speed and security benefits are a nice by-product.

You can even do things like prevent the app from deleting things unless the functions are used and prevent poor development practices in the process.
Gotcha. BART being funded by the Bay Area Rapid Transit District is something I'd forgotten, and does make my point a lot less salient. It's been a long time since I was in SF, so it's possible my assessments here are way off base.

The main observation I was trying to make is that the public/private sector has always seemed to have a harder time working hand-in-hand in the Bay Area than it does in other cities I've lived in, whatever that reason may be.
Yeah that's why I MDMA (mid distance medium acceleration) I get the same benefits.

> because it's the right business decision

the only objective advantages of javascript is the availability of libraries and being able to build web applications with a single codebase. Beyond that, the only other reason people go with javascript is the ease of hiring js devs like cogs in a machine which is self fulfilling as then new people always go to js.

But js is an objectively terrible language. Downvote me if you want but I spent years getting good at rooting out different classes of production bugs in javascript. Its not a good platform to build rock solid highly reliable infrastructure. A good developer can certainly do it for the same reason you can write good software in any platform. sqlite is written in c after all. But the language will lead you towards all sorts of dangerous bugs until you've spent years learning how to wrangle it.

As for "business decisions" yea optimizing for easy hiring is how you end up with using javascript to write native mobile apps. a platform constrained in memory. You could make the argument that its afine for simple apps but how many startups died trying to push react native past what could be reasonably performant? I'll grant that v8 has done an excellent job at optimization but javascript the language isn't doing it many favors. Just about every startup that gets anywhere eventually backs away to native.

Then there's electron. Beyond cross platform, The real big reason is you can throw a ton of javascript devs at it. Why bother prioritizing things like efficient battery usage? It would be amazing if some of that mindshare went to cross platform UIs for rust...

Anyways, thats my rant. This is not to say javascript is never useful. certainly not all javascript devs are lazy but there are a lot out there who only know javascript. You cant evaluate all options if you don't have a frame of reference to evaluate all the options.

me: Senior nodejs dev for 8 years before jumping to elixir because its design bypasses whole classes of issues javascript devs regularly run into when scaling.
The performance advantage is ridiculous too. You see a guy on DHMO next to a regular guy without it, and the results are very predictable. Totally unfair.
When analyzing stories like this, I like to ask myself, what if the result were reversed? Would it be reported?

For instance, if there is a study that says [group 1] are actually better managers than [group 2]. I ask myself what if the study found [group 2] is in fact better than [group 1]? It very well may be that [group 1] is in fact better managers, but if the reverse cannot be reported, then you're not getting any counterfactual evidence since it would be suppressed, ignored or manipulated. Basically it doesn't fit the popular narrative.

You can apply this to other statements. If you hear a statement in which the reverse would be inconceivable, it's probably not a meaningful statement. If you hear a manager say "I stand with my employees", would the reverse make sense? Is there someone that would argue, no, I don't stand with my employees? If not, then that statement is a meaningless platitude and not conveying any information. The only caveat I would add is that the subject may add focus. Focusing on employees may be a signal to some value that is not universally shared, but people often hedge their bets and say something like "I stand with my employees, customers and stockholders", which is completely meaningless.
I too was there. But I think you're neglecting to realize that today people aren't necessarily attracted to flash sites anymore (unfortunately) with the advent of the current convention of web user interfaces things like flash made don't fit in. I wonder if in 15 years we'll be asking what happened to bootstrap/material/ant ui frameworks much the same way.

On your point though for actual apps in WASM that are more than just making a 'cool popping interface' there is a future. I also can attest that Lottie in icon design and animation is super fun. Also the sound API still sucks.
I don't think there is any real danger in connecting an "electrical" sub-d to a "fluid" sub-d. You'd just have a non-working connection from both sides.

It's similar to many devices having RJ-45 serial console ports, that look like network ports, and if you accidentally connect the wrong cable to it, nothing bad happens.

On the other hand, I could really see hybrid connectors as a solution, i.e. have 4 electrical pins and 5 fluid pins. That way you could have some signalling between the devices and not start pushing fluid through the tubes unless a "correct" device is attached.

The one with fewest colours. I have no idea why people really love colour vomits on their screens. Reading and writing code consumes enough mental CPU that syntax highlighting needs to be a helpful tool, not an overstimulation. Might be my ADHD. The most ridiculous ones are those that have a different colour for methods, variables, free standing functions, classes vs structs. Do people really go "ah, name's yellow, must be a struct"?

Ideally only keywords, numbers, strings would be highlighted, and symbols de-highlighted. And comments need to stand out. Theme designers really like making comments almost impossible to read for some reason.

I tend to prefer muted colours, which are extremely rare to find in the VSCode marketplace. My favourite light is Alabaster by Nikita Propokov, but the best is the dark one One Monokai 80s

Gruvbox is pretty cool
This is a frighteningly-cool insight. If I think about a single marathon, that's roughly 1 gallon of gas for my own car. I don't know how to translate that to human fuel, but it is crazy to me to think that that is not an insignificant amount of fuel the human body needs to burn to do the equivalent of a car.

Weird article.
Point 1 is exactly correct: This is a purely defensive play designed to protect their existing market cap. Figma and Canva put the once ironclad Adobe cashflows at risk, simple as. In that sense, paying 20 billion to protect and enhance your market cap is a no brainer.

Point 2 and 3 however I disagree with heavily. Figma purchase is exactly about Adobe's failures to build a good competitor, its not like Figma is this new arrival, people were raving about it for quite some time already and Adobe had a lot of time to respond. This purchase shows that Adobe's cashflows are nowhere near as secure as they were thought to be, hence the rerating on the stock is not a simple blip.

And that Lina Khan should stay off this? Give me a break, this is exactly what she should be targeting if she is serious about antitrust. Adobe + Figma bundle destroys this market for anything not named Canva for at least 5-6 years. The idea that FTC should reward innovation by allowing monopolistic/oligopolistic buyouts for big prices is how Whatsapp and Instagram ended up with Facebook.
