This parent-commenter is correct, ASL is a completely separate language from spoken English. Many people who are raised with ASL as their first language prefer seeing ASL rather than reading English.

Modern ASL includes elements of "signed English" but it it's own language, the third most common in the US.

I am a hearing person, so take my understanding of this with a grain of salt. Here is a Deaf primary resource to describe the difference.

> I see a lot of good advice in the comments but the one I don’t see which has had an amazing effect is an annual (or perhaps once every 2 year, if you’re still in your 20s) physical exam with a good physician.

FWIW I asked the Australian doctor who was inspecting me, top-to-tail, in my 37th year, whether I should be doing this every year.

“Do you feel healthy?”

“Yes.”

“Then no. No need while you’re young.”

This one is in flux, I suspect. In the past, people were born into their religion, and today, at least in the west, it is becoming more common for people to choose their religion. So I guess this is the exception that proves the rule.
I couldn't quite understand but it looked like the cheater just stood there and witnessed the revelation unfolding without saying anything in confession or in his defense.
>That's not what it means to make a +EV call. Expected value is estimated based on the opponent's presumed range.

My point was that if she was cheating and knew what his cards were, there is no range to care about. And even then, it’s not significantly +EV.
Sorta sad. Decades have passed and it’s harder to program machines that have staggeringly more resources. One would have thought that some amount of overhead could have been added to create an abstract environment to work in. Ah well, more job security with complexity I guess.

And I assume most people are considering web applications rather than native. If so, it’s like a full circle from xterms…

I bought one of these sauna tents and it was pretty underwhelming. I can barely stand 30 minutes in a real sauna - in this home sauna tent, I watched an entire movie (two hours) and had to get out more from boredom than the heat.

Which pre-RISC simple CPUs are you thinking about? I think the key design features of RISC are no microcode, pipelined execution, usually one instruction per clock, a load/store architecture (no memory operands to ALU instructions), fixed-length instructions, and a large orthogonal general-purpose register set to compensate for the lack of memory operands.

Maybe the CDC 6600 sort of fits, but it only had 8 60-bit operand registers, and they weren't orthogonal; you could load into 6 of them and store from 2 of them, and you couldn't use them for addressing (addressing was done with 16 other 18-bit registers). It was only barely pipelined, though it was sort of superscalar. I do think it fulfills the "no microcode", "fixed-length instructions", and "usually one instruction per clock" desiderata — but you can hardly say it was a "simple CPU", its design objective being to build "the largest computer in the world", and sporting 60-bit registers, hardware floating point (single and double precision), and a heavily multibanked memory system.
I think what GP said was logical. Imagine Harvard has 3 entrance criteria, and the criteria a student receives depends on the first letter of their first name:

* A name: must be in top 1% of test scores

* B name: must be in top 5% of test scores

* C name: must be in top 10% of test scores

The following 3 students are admitted:

* Allison (is in top 1%)

* Brian (is in top 4%)

* Caitlin (is in top 1%)

We can only safely assume that Allison is in the top 1% because her criteria certifies it. Even though Caitlin in actuality is in the top 1%, because her entrance criteria is more lax, we are not sure.

I think this is one downside of affirmative action, people are unsure if a person passes based on affirmative action or purely on merit. Now we consider the upsides and downsides of affirmative action, and decide whether it should be implemented.
> There are written equivalents for sign languages, although their use is controversial among some (but not all) Deaf people.

Interesting, I haven't encountered any in my neck of the woods (albeit I am hearing and not really active in of deaf communities outside of family). Do you know what the most "popular" written equivalents would be?

I don't think it's impossible to represent sign languages in written form, either via existing languages like English or newly developed glyphs and symbols. However, people often don't seem to understand how complex deaf culture and languages are, likely because deaf communities can be quite insular (either by choice or because of discrimination/isolation), which makes it a difficult problem to discuss. Developing a fluent method of bidirectional communication between hearing an deaf people requires a fair bit of empathy, and I suspect the only people who really understand both deaf and hearing 'culture' are codas[0]; that said, I'd hope that raising awareness about common misconceptions would go a long way.

Except IQ differences between races are themselves heavily influenced by societal/ historical discrimination. And discrimination still occurs in employment practices for jobs where high IQ is not a significant predictor of capability.
FWIW I don't doubt that racially-aligned genetic factors that influence appearance almost certainly affect other factors, including general cognitive ability, however we're so far off the point that it's likely to be the dominant explanation for why those from particular racial backgrounds rarely gravitate toward and ultimately succeed in particular careers that I see no benefit in focusing on it.
I do however worry that many "affirmative action" policies may be well-intentioned but severely flawed and ultimately self-defeating - if I were a disabled older black female I wouldn't want to have to deal with the suspicion (in my own mind, as well in those of others) that I landed a particular role because of my race/sex/age/disabilities rather than in spite of them (or better still, because we finally lived in world where such attributes were simply considered irrelevant). There are surely better methods that can be used to help overcome undeniable levels of systemic favouritism towards those with particular attributes. I say that as a white, able-bodied male under 50 - personally I suspect most of the reason I've found it easy to succeed in the software industry is due to my upbringing and in particular my Dad, also a white able-bodied male who was even more successful in the IT industry even before he was 40. Virtually everyone technical or managerial in his in own companies fit the same profile - the sales department had some white female able-bodied employees under 50, and later on there were probably one or two Asian employees though I can't recall seeing any. The same industry today is undeniably more inclusive/representative of society as a whole, though we're still a long way from it. I don't think "affirmative action" has really been a big driving force, and I've certainly never worked anywhere that specifically had a policy of actively preferring candidates of a particular sex/race/age/etc. that traditionally has been underrepresented. But I would still like to see more of an effort made to encourage such candidates to apply and to ensure that there's nothing in the job-posting/interview/ selection process that might contribute towards that continued underrepresentation.
> there's nobody to replace him

I think we should look at the statements like that through the prism of skepticism. Whenever something like that gets said about a person alive. In the same manner, people talked about Hitler, Putin and Trump.

No living person is irreplaceable in the context of societal progress. Sometimes, after they die, we may acknowledge their role, their remarkable achievements, and their legacy.

Can we please stop idolizing RMS? I think, doing that today brings nothing but harm to the people who promote ideas of free software, Emacs aficionados, et al. I'm not claiming your statement is wrong, you may be 100% right, and who knows, long after he leaves us, we may come to believe that he was indeed worthy of adulation. But while he's still alive, let's not make it weirder than it already is. I don't want to be called a cultist because I use Emacs.
It is ironic because AFAICT Zod is actually more boilerplate than `shield()` :-). Although, the Zod familiarity is a clear argument in favor of Zod.

Speaking of boilerplate, one Telefunc feature I'm particularly excited about is its capability to automatically generate runtime type safety, so you don't even need `shield()` nor Zod then. But it's an experimental feature, let's see how it works out at scale.

The main problem with Telefunc right now is the lack of clear documentation which I'm going to work on in the next weeks/months. Hopefully, it will then become clear why Telefunc is simpler and less boilerplate. Stay tuned.

In the meantime feel free to check out the `examples/` and feel free to hit me up on Discord.

> My friends and I would put together little toy websites with PHP or Rails in a span of weeks and everyone thought they were awesome.

Agreed, LAMP was just so damn fun in how you could go from zero to a fully functioning site in a day or two. Having to manage all the statefulness of fetching & displaying data asynchronously from the client adds an incredible amount of complication both in theory and in practice.

Also agree that the old tech wasn't necessarily better either - but it sure would be cool if someone could replicate the developer experience from back then and produce a result that's up to modern engineering and UX standards.

If somebody is a doctor honoris causa, has been seen as deserving to be doctor by the only group of people that can legally grant this titles.

Anybody with a doctorate can decide to use the title, use it only in an ironic way, or just don't use it, as you wish. "Dr. Clint Eastwood" would not be a symptom of anything strange. Eastwood is clearly an expert in films, successful at both sides of the camera, so... why not recognize it?

> The cheating claims for the poker example are absolutely stupid. Only people who know very little about poker would claim that.

Well, I can offer a counter-example that proves you wrong. I played professionally for a decade (so I'm not a person who "knows very little about poker") and I am claiming that she's cheating. I would be very confident making this claim based on her turn call alone, but when you add in the contradictory follow up explanations and the fact that she RETURNED THE CHIPS, I'd rate her cheating at >99% probability.
That is what GP is suggesting. GP's theory doesn't make much sense though. It doesn't account for the things she said during the hand that make no sense if she just misread her cards. Or the fact that she gave the money back.

Much more likely to be cheating, imo

> Local media report that the [fishing] pair were disqualified as winners at an event last year, because one of them failed a polygraph test.

wtf? That is definitely not how to use a polygraph. First off, why would you ever submit to that? Second, they are notoriously questionable, and something tells me the fishing championship didn’t get the world’s leading expert to run it.
Admitedly, I have zero experience of this level of cheating, so I honestly don't know what someone would do. However, "from the movies" (ha!) professional cheaters expect to be caught on occasion and consider it cost of doing business. For cards, I'm thinking about Rounders as an example. Hollywood wouldn't lie to us, right?
This is absolutely correct. ASL is so deeply different from English that in certain circumstances where it's a priority that a signer's understanding of the topic is clear there can be two interpreters at once. A hearing interpreter who interprets verbatim to a Deaf interpreter (a CDI, or certified Deaf interpreter) who then interprets to the Deaf recipient.

Public broadcasts should absolutely be interpreted to ensure that everyone has access to understanding them.

I encourage everyone to learn more about ASL and to learn a bit of ASL themselves. There are many amazing resources put out by Deaf people to help folks learn.
Alas, many sites have Content-Security Policies, which doesn't block bookmarklets outright, but keeps them from functioning in basic ways: often CSP prevents contact with other sites.

So you can modify the page, yes. But you can't submit content to other domains. You can't load more code. This double-dooms kick-ass awesome extensions like Hypothes.is[1], the brilliant Web Annotation tool/bookmarklet: the bookmarklet can't load the rest of the code needed to launch the experience, and the bookmarklet can't send those annotations the user makes to the user's destination.

I've seen very little interest when issues are raised about doing anything to help Bookmarklets[1]. Browsers seemingly don't care about these users & are fine with Bookmarklets being left to rot away. Meanwhile Chrome on Android still has no other means for users to extend/augment/enhance their own web experience, as Chrome has said repeatedly Extensions will not be supported on mobile, leaving users with nothing.

Policies do discriminate in who they benefit, even when unintentionally so. School free lunches help Blacks more than Whites. But narratives often (usually?) matter more than discriminatory impacts — whether it helps Blacks or Whites.
That only works when you have mob behind you. What will you do when you find yourself disagreeing with the majority and they apply this technique to you?
Gaze tracking for adaptive resolution and frame rate makes sense, though.
> Or, burden of burdens!, you could spend a couple of extra minutes and a handful of clicks to track down the "unofficial" non-Free installer image.

I only got to know about the unofficial installer on here, years after it could've been useful. At the time, I didn't have an extra machine to fetch the necessary binaries I needed to get networking working on my laptop. This was when I dropped Debian.

I'd be perfectly fine with an installer that lets me have the choice, as long as it doesn't require me to reboot into a different OS to actually fetch the stuff I need. Just think of the man-hours wasted globally.
That's a fair response, so I suppose I should add the asterisk: Conditional on a belief that test scores are correlated with ability level. However, this belief is rather common, and I wouldn't say that it is an intrinsically racist belief.
True. Best marzipan around. Of course there are other copy cat marzipans from Lübeck which are not the real thing.

I’m not a fan of the section on governance.

I can certainly understand why you’d prefer to use community-driven software, but this post steers close to calling for-profit free software “not actually FOSS.”

FOSS is FOSS, regardless of whether the developer is solo or a megacorp, whether they accept patches or not, whether there is a proprietary build of the same product available or not.

You can disapprove of some of the things these developers do, but don’t water down the definition of FOSS by adding extra stipulations.
An important aspect that I think is overlooked: even if the latency is so subtle that it's overlooked, subconsciously you may have a feeling that something is off, your perception of the product will be worse, you will perhaps become frustrated without even knowing why.

A person I know was diagnosed with tinnitus. And it (the diagnosis) made him happy. For over a year he was frustrated, nervous, but he didn't know why. Turns out he was hearing noise all that time, but just didn't realize it. Sounds (pun not intended) ridiculous, but that's how the mind works.
>I guess it's possible to misread your hole cards twice but difficult to do.

With TV cameras and thousands of people watching every tiny thing you do, for hundreds of thousands of dollars, I can buy it. I’ve been in televised card games before and it is so easy to make dumb mistakes just because of the pressure of the cameras and audience.
Based on what I've read from people vastly more informed than me, this absolutely 100% seems to be the case.

Even beyond that, the general impression I get w.r.t stuff like supermaneuverability is that it's a much better use of money to ensure that most fights never even make it to the point where the stuff like the cobra seems like a good idea. Given the choice between 1) "marginally improving survivability in comparatively low-energy corner-case states" and 2) "increasing the odds that the fight never makes it to the merge," #2 seems like a much better choice in terms of money spent and pilots kept alive. (Though a counterpoint, I guess, based my my casual understanding, would be that making the judgment too heavily in favor of #2 was part of what hampered the USAF and Navy's air-to-air combat capabilities in Vietnam)
It's not semantics or nitpicking.. it's a fact. It's literally the Oxford dictionary definition of recession.

It may not be a severe recession. It may not affect our quality of life all that much. Media may be blowing it out of proportion. It's not my goal to argue either way (I'm honestly not qualified to do so and it seems most experts don't know yet).

But saying "it isn't really happening" is just false. We don't get to just redefine words based on our feelings.
is there a tldr on undo-tree's capabilities? I really like emacs' default undo behaviour, especially it's region bound behavior. undo-tree is kind of like vim right? Ive actually never really grokked that one either. I even remove undo-tree after installing evil as its an unwanted change for me, and evil has no option not to use it.
This is going to be a problem for a while. They can do their best to optimize the locations and stalls as they build out, but you'll be seeing photos of long lines of EVs waiting to charge for many years to come. If for no other reason that there will be very spikey demand in many locations.

I expect that many drivers will learn to simply avoid charging on certain days and places and stay close to home.

> For me it’s the prevalence and growth of tools with completely shitty user interfaces.

Indeed.

I'm old school green screen hack, but I think that user interfaces are a black hole of time and bike shedding.

Back in the day it was a green screen. If you were lucky, you might have line drawing characters. Mind, we're talking smart terminals and curses level work here, vs block mode IBM displays, but still. When options are limited, there's less time spent on discussing and implementing options.

Did people settle? Yes, they did. They made do, they made it work, and work got done. I recall a tire store running a linux desktop with their work order system some green screen app in a terminal. Yet, tires still got mounted and sold.

I think they've changed recently, but Lowes used a terminal based UI for all of their order taking and work orders. Whether it was a stove or carpet installation or buying a couple of chaptiks and a 30 pack of batteries. The employees were adept at navigating it and got the job done.

Did they require training? Of course they did. But training was required no matter what the UI was, as they UIs simple encase process. Process unique to the company, and those processes always have to be trained. Just raw truth.

I'm no artist, I have no color sense, my layouts are a struggle, and putting 3 fields on a 5K screen is challenging no matter what. But I think the real values of the capabilities of modern UIs are marginal at best for most routine use cases, specifically in the back office (where the vast majority of software is designed and written).

That's a sensitive topic, as Bolsonaro has questioning the voting machine security.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting_in_Brazil

Even Tom Scott's video about electronic voting shows in Brazil with a warning saying that "electronic voting is safe" (the same type of warning that shows up for conspiracy theories).

We had no problems with those machines since 1996. My take is that he does that to mobilize his support base.

One curious thing is that the centralized voting counting is done with an Oracle system. Some politicians questioned the contracts value, and why AWS or Google cloud weren't considered - authorities argued that only Oracle supported Oracle's cloud : )

There is a common misconception that design is about "how it looks". Design is multidisciplinary at its core.

That is not to say that there aren't mediocre designers and architects out there, but I would argue that – when taught right – there are few degrees that are more multidisciplinary and cross-domain by nature than those two.
Depending on how you feel about unions and labor power, you could argue that those thriving have been stealing negotiating power from those struggling, and that this has led to the growing divide between classes.

Ubuntu is far more than a Debian fork nowadays - I think of the packages that are installed on most user systems, very little of them share the same source between Ubuntu and Debian.
