This is a good example, and I appreciate you trying to explain it further. But I think we are a bit like two ships passing in the night here. As I interpret it, you are trying to explain the effect of affirmative action on the likelihood that someone from a particular background is more likely to be skilled or not. I totally understand that this is an effect of AA, and that neither of us are arguing about the merits of AA.

However, the point that I am trying to make is that we, as a society, should be trying to ignore these obvious statistical likelihoods when we are choosing a candidate. Those statistical likelihoods have nothing to do with the candidate themselves. If we make these kinds of interpretations, we are no longer judging a candidate based on who they are, but rather who we think they might be. And who am I to make that judgement? I'm nobody special. That's all I'm trying to say, really.

EDIT Someone else in the thread brought up the idea of why there is AA for school, but not for the workplace as in my argument. It's kind of a different topic, but I think it's a good counterargument about the complexity of this. I don't really have a good answer, to be honest, but it will be on my mind for awhile now.
So, with your reasoning, what's the correct response today to the Holocaust?

Thanks, Tony! That's what I thought.

Given Sophie Wilson's concern at the time over the importance of memory bandwidth as a limiting factor in system efficiency, I wonder why they didn't at least include a 68010-like "loop mode", so you could eliminate the cost of instruction fetch in inner loops? My familiarity with ARM is not very good and so I'm not even sure if you can use LDM/STM to optimize memcpy but I'm sure it doesn't help with things like the FFT or string search.
Perhaps. On the other hand, letting a medical device continue moving an actuator or dispensing a medication when it's known to be in a bad "never happen" state could also be fatal. Ditto for the "life support in space" example. Ditto for anything reliant on position, where the system suddenly realizes it has no idea whether its position is correct. Imagine that e.g. on a warship. Limiting responses to external inputs (including time adjustments) can ameliorate such problems. So can software diversity. Many safety-critical systems require one or both, and other measures as well. Picking one black-swan event while ignoring literally every day scenarios doesn't seem very helpful. That's especially true when the thing you're advocating is what actually happened and led to its own bad outcomes.
You're correct, it should be the default.

But why are you complaining that a group of people who don't want to work in your default environment went off and created their own?

I don't understand what you have to complain about: they have their way of working and you want to change that because it offends you?

Sounds like you're the problem, not them.
It only matters if you own a non Tesla BEV in the US and require fast DC charging for your transportation needs.
Interesting, how does your software detect an uncalibrated monitor? Did it come with a calibration device which had to be used to scan the display output to check?

I don't suppose monitors report calibration data back to display adapters do they?

There’s so many more regulations and rules. You can’t just spin up a website without considering GDPR and a million other regulations, you have to create a privacy policy, consider deletion, recovery, etc.

Sure we have some frameworks and such to make this easier but it really puts a damper on experimentation and raises the barrier of entry significantly.
How could cheating help her when he still had a reasonable chance of pulling either a straight flush, flush, or a pair in the river?

What would be the logic that a calm, rational, 3rd party (that could even be using a computer to calculate odds) would use that would justify risking $100K+ on that hand?

Also, don't you think that if someone's cheating they would be careful to play relatively conservatively so as not to cause this kind of attention?
I'd love to see a well-supported git-lfs compatible client/proxy (so you could more easily move backends) that could run on top of S3/object storage. Yes, and written in a modern language like golang/rust for performance / parallelism. There's some node.js and various other git-lfs proxies out there, but not well enough maintained that I could count on them being around and working in another 5 years. git-annex at least has been around for a while, even though it has its issues.

Huggingface uses git-lfs for large datasets with good success. git-lfs on GitHub gets very pricey at higher volumes of data. Would love the affordability of object storage, just with a better git blob storage interface, that will be around in the future.

Most of these systems do their own hash calculations and are not interchangeable with each other. I feel like git-lfs has the momentum at the momentum in data-science at the moment, but needs some better options for people who want a low cost storage option that they can control.

Huggingface is great, but it's one more service to onboard if you're in an enterprise. And data privacy/retention/governance means that many people would liek their data to reside on their own infrastructure.

If AWS were to give us a low cost git-lfs hosted service on top of S3 it would be very popular.

If anyone knows of some good alternatives, please let us know!

While I agree with many of the other comments here, I'll offer one more way in which programming is more difficult today: speed.

30 years ago, nearly all projects I worked on were waterfall and my development team was far more relaxed. Spending days tinkering and thinking of a good solution was valued over sprints and rapid commits. Of course, we got far less done back then, but it was also less stressful (in my experience, at least).

If you have a base familiarity with the command line, I think many build tools do have great basic defaults, e.g. `dotnet run`, `cargo run`, `npm run dev`, etc. Vite is another example of good defaults in frontend dev; it allows you to sidestep a lot of the difficulty one may run into with webpack.

But I think you're right in many ways though. For seasoned devs, cli tools give a lot of flexibility and allow dev tasks to be automated in pipelines more easily, but it requires one to read documentation or use the help subcommand to discover what else you can do. Which is not a big deal when you are experienced, but I definitely remember struggling early on with things like that when I was self-teaching how to program.

I'm curious, if you write with pen and paper, does it look the same as how the remarkable 2 renders it? I returned my RM2 because it make my handwriting look wobbly and difficult to read. Now I've returned to paper, but now it's more effort to OCR.
Why does her returning the chips matter? Are you not familiar with how chronic cheaters operate in pretty much any other field?

From fighting games to Donkey Kong to fishing to whatever else you can think of, people that chronically cheat often have the mentality to double down and/or muddy the fields to try and disprove that they're cheating. Because the best counter to any sort of cheating accusation is to never fold. This is even when they're explicitly countered with hard evidence of the cheat.
I'm not trying to say that there hasn't been a history of racism nor even that it isn't prevalent today. I just want to understand how we accurately measure the actual effects of it so that we can understand how much effort to put into solving it or measuring if it is getting better over time. And some of the most used measures I find as evidence seem to be about the distribution of races in various jobs which on its own doesn't necessarily seem like a reliable metric to me.

Others pointed out some studies which showed potential biases in hiring and that seems like a great potential proxy to understand the current level of racism in hiring.
Groups can do bad things. Some groups exist specifically to do bad things.
> I haven't played running it twice but it looked like there was still importance to secrecy before the second river was flipped given the way they were acting.

No, there isn't.

In tournaments, players are forced to put hands face-up when no more betting can take place. This is in part so people can see there's no cheating/collusion going on, and in part because it's better for TV.

In cash games, there's no such requirement. Players often don't show their hand because they don't want to give away information to the other players. There's rules about who has to show first, but if she had lost the pot, she could have folded without showing.

> Assuming the cheater doesn't know the deck (which would be extremely hard to pull off)

The insinuation is exactly that, that she knew the deck. (Rather, that software knew the deck and alerted her to a favorable position)

If you're not up-to-date on how that can happen, I suggest you review the mike postle scandal, and other proofs of concept where people are, in fact, reading the state of the entire deck.
I don't think it's particularly related to the original framing, but practising this makes for much better commits IMO.

I think there's probably a sentiment of "Oh Google is really messing Ubisoft and Bungie around". But I think the truth is probably slightly different. Google was offering something different, and I don't think any game studio was jumping at the chance to get on Stadia - especially given Google's reputation. So any work going on to support and develop for Stadia was almost certainly backed by Google money, not Ubisoft money. So yes, it's sad that engineering effort was wasted (but let's be real, 90% of engineering effort is wasted), in reality, it probably isn't a big hit for the game studios. This isn't a case of Google luring naive game companies into developing for Stadia and then pulling the plug, this is a matter of big spending Google trying to spend its way into a new industry and failing, probably it was quite lucrative all round. Yes, they'll have to do a bit of work to save face with their customers, but all-in-all this was probably free money for them.
She's also not losing the hand at the time she called, percentage wise, unless you factor in the cards folded by the other players. We don't know if she had that information.

For a lot of folk, this type of severance will make them leave with a smile.
> Until people vote in their legitimate best interest, nothing will change

Best interest here means best economic interests. About 25% of Republicans earn less than $30K/yr, another 25% earn less than $50K, another 25% earn less than $100K/yr, and another 23% of Republicans earn less than $300K/yr. This means 98% of Republicans have absolutely no idea what they're doing and are voting themselves into economic stagnation. The 2% of Republicans earning more than $300K/yr are quite shrewd, but at moral cost. The Republican Party is made up nearly entirely of the bamboozled, yet while they will never see economic opportunity while Republicans hold power, they are paying for the 2% to make inroads on the 0.01%.

1. Yes, overburdened by choice is indeed one of the main challenges today.

2. And the pace of development, not because one cannot learn fast enough, but what one has learned will quickly be made obsolete because of "developer fashion" (favourite front end JS frameworks, anyone?). This happens because communities are important, e.g. for answering dev questions and fixing bugs, so one cannot adopt a "dead" framework.
Each new language suffers from lacking essential libraries, components (and for managers: talent for hire), so it is risky to adopt one that has not yet accrued critical mass, yet it is also risky to miss a trend.

3. Computer security for many systems is critically important yet very difficult, and attackers are everywhere.

On the upside, in the past, machines were more heterogeneous, however today there are just a few survivors: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and in the mobile space Android and iOS. Because many apps are Web apps, cross-platform has become easy, although the user experience of a Web app in no way is comparable to a native app. WASM is likely to address some of that, and - I hope - will remove much of the ugliness of abusing the HTML+HTTP paradigm intended for technical documentation for distributed application.

> Whereas I don't believe I've seen a project fail because too much time was spent ensuring code was well written and well tested.

This does indeed happen. Kent Beck tells a story of being called in to help a European insurance project where, sick of all the legacy code, they spun off a new company to start fresh. Teams of bright people spent years building The Right Thing and doing it The Right Way. But they never delivered anything actually useful, and by the time the sponsors were entirely fed up, they still couldn't promise anything soon. So they fired everybody, hired back one team's worth, and then started fresh on well-written code that actually did something immediately useful.

I think there's a middle path between "write garbage that succeeds" and "write perfect code that never gets used". I think it's narrow but doable, and it requires dogged attention to both "ship early and often" and "build in a way that's sustainable over the long term".
Ask HN: Anyone has a spouse/partner who doesn't work a full-time job?
Me and my partner are looking to move to a remote area. Thanks to the wonders of Starlink for me it would be business as usual but for my spouse it would mean quiting her job in academia (she's a biologist) and being jobless in the traditional 9-5 sense.

Real engagement, not passive. Even discussions like these aren't always memorable. It's like driving the same route to and from the office for years, at some point you start arriving home or at the office with little recollection of what happened in between. You weren't asleep, but you made few new memories if nothing out of the ordinary happened (days I remember: Seeing a red truck on its side off the road, the days deer or antelope cross the path, the time a cow decided to turn up on the road, etc.). So what are you doing on the internet? Just reading? Is it creating new memories, new connections? Sometimes, but how frequently? What if you try to actively engage with the material, make summaries, try out the ideas in a small project, anything.
Each party has delegates present during vote counting, in state and city level. That only became an issue recently. That said, I do believe that the system would be better if physical counting could be performed as well, to increase public trust and to avoid the same situation in 82 fraud against Brizola.

At least half of the best professionals in the world believe she cheated.

This is why poker is a great game. People like you that presume to understand poker very well and are so confident in what they believe. Please keep playing.

At the time of calling the all-in, she was more likely to lose. So she would also need to know the next cards to be played. It seems even less likely the house or dealer are in on it. How would RFID know the top cards yet to come? They are still in the deck.
> a quiet walk in a garden does more for me than an hour of social media.

A quiet walk in a garden does something positive whereas an hour on social media would leave me feeling very negative and depleted - there's an inverse relationship between time spent on social media and how one feels. The more time spent there, the worse one feels. You could say this is "by design" - outrage increases engagement.
assuming monitoring is in place and someone responsible for responding to pages is available, our standard process is to ack (acknowledge the alarm), investigate, attempt to resolve, and, if that takes longer than X (15min) or affects more customers than Y, we declare an incident. Worth noting that we are aggressive on making sure that pages (esp. during off hours) are actionable - it must require a human and it must be affecting customers.

When an incident is declared, a slack room is spun up that auto-includes links to a zoom, links to the incident response process, and pages important people. We have someone other than the responding engineer be the "incident commander." Their job is to make sure we dot Is, cross Ts, follow up on action items, and generally keep the ball moving forward. "Amanda, you were going to pull the db records, how's that going? Does anyone have insights that could help John?" They work with support to get a user facing message published. They send out periodic updates so higher-ups know what is going on with a focus on customer impact. The initial goal is to mitigate impact, then figure out a fix. During the blameless postmortem, we focus on processes that failed and aim to remove human components in failure. We use these to also share processes on how people found information, fixed things, etc. From here, we decide on what is a system improvement in need of priority and design work vs things we can address at a individual or team level. We then have an internal SLO that says we will address the fixes within N sprints and higher ups pay attention.

This can all be manual to start and then you can start integrating with tooling. I enjoyed working with splunk for log analysis, graphs, and alerts, prometheus alerts, pager duty for paging, and jira for tracking betterments attached to incidents. Right before I left my last gig, we started with some saas incident/post-mortem tool and it was pretty decent but nothing to write home about. I've forgotten their name and can't find anything similar via Google.

As for when you should do this? As soon as your team is big enough that you need to write things down, share information with others, and have something worth improving.
The whole conclusion is putting forward a speculative chilling effect about a case that doesn’t matter to anybody but attorneys and hacks.

That freedom of public accommodation is under attack.

If it even existed in the first place; there are plenty of laws that expressly allow discrimination in deference to 'religious beliefs.'

Courts, & the Supreme Court in particular, are giving far more weight to 'christian freedom' at the expense of the rest of us.

Cases include recent PrEP ruling, insane football prayer ruling that willfully ignored facts, bathroom & sports laws targeting kids. crazy ruling on prayers in court.

Adoption discrimination (de-facto govt by transitive property. we have to stop outsourcing government to contractors, especially when it makes religious orgs the only avenue).

Upcoming ruling from CO which will probably allow even more queer discrimination.

that 'pressure to conform' is and has historically been one way, giving one class the legal go ahead to discriminate in the name of some skewed idea of christian ideals

> I don't think that it should be

Why is it your choice to make? When you hire someone, you're hiring everything they bring to the table. You might be wrong in your interpretation, but it's what you've got. So perhaps you find names beyond the pale, but why not dress codes too? Names and many other characteristics involve human choices well beyond genetics.

You do realize that the orchestras used to hire blind, that is, the audition was done with the musician hidden behind a curtain and all other factors withheld, so that the only factor that was perceivable was the sound of the music from the musician, in an effort to remove bias. And New York Times in the last year or two had an editorial decrying this as unfair, because it didn't give the correct outcome of reducing underrepresentation. The DIE crowd does not want fairness and equality of opportunity; they want equality of outcome. They want diversity hires, not hires of the maximally strong candidates.
It is actually pretty simple (in this example anyway). If three candidates come to you with the same credentials, then do not assume one of them is the best candidate based on your interpretation of their background. You have to treat them all as equally likely candidates - interview all three. It is more work for you, but the effort is worth it, because it helps prevent the effect of possible biases.
