Have you asked asian americans if they like to be displayed as the model minority?

I mean in Europe jews are the model minority, it's obviously true now, it was not the case before as we all know.
This is even more fucked up than the title suggests. It's not that a Mythbusters episode helped a man prove his innocence, it helped him overthrow a false confession he gave under coercion!

TL;DR: 18 year old was forced by a detective with threats and violence to sign a false confession and despite that detective having been accused of multiple cases of forced and falsified confessions, the way he finally got out after 20 years of a life sentence later was by finding a scientific impossibility in the fabricated and coerced confession.

Like yeah, "yay science!" and it's a great thing he finally got out, but how is the real story here not that once you sign a confession, you're basically fucked no matter what the circumstances of the confession were?!? I guess this might not be a surprise to people in or more familiar with the US, but holy shit it's scary to me as an outsider from a (yes, I'll say it) actually developed county!

Its a huge raid-0, so long as your entire team understands that, you'll be ok. Its a lot better than in 2008, but now that AWS have a managed service, I'd just use that. (my heart is always in GPFS land...)
Just keep in mind that the Shakespeare authorship conspiracy theory is the is the "the moon landing was fake" of the 1800s. The theory first gained popularly thanks to Delia Bacon in the 1850s, over 200 years after Shakespeare lived.

There's no evidence Shakespeare didn't write his plays and a lot of evidence he did (including multiple books and writings published during this life listing him as author or referring to him as an author).
>European cities also aren't that dense, generally speaking. Building high is an exception and only pushed recently, in places with infrastructure already present.

Buildings 5 stories high get similar or higher density than anything but the most extreme high rise neighbourhoods and are a better place to live. Easily get to 15k per km2 without highrises.

> If I might suggest, would it be possible to also add an option to add white out blocks?

As a matter a fact, you can already do it!

Albeit the UX is probably not ideal, hence your comment: each and every field has a "checkered" block below the field itself, by clicking on it the whole background is whitened.

If you combine that (1) with resizing the field (2), you should be able to white-out any section of the PDF, as visible in the image-tutorial I made for you:

I have a related question to this topic. Is probability axiomatic to reality? Does it exist on the same level as logic where logic is axiomatic to reality and just assumed to be true? Or is it simply a phenomenon arising from logic?

It seems like probability just happens to work without explanation? Intuitively this seems a bit strange since it feels as though probability should be derived from something else. Not sure if I'm correct here.

What confuses me even more is that I do know logic can be defined in terms of probability. Causal connections can be probabilistic. If A then 25% chance of B and so on.
The neurotypicals susceptibility to illusions is IMHO a cohesion enhancing adaptation for life in large groups.
If that's what you meant ("c# is unpopular among the best paying tech companies") I can accept that. But what you originally wrote that I disagree with is:

That unfortunately hasn’t helped C# become more popular outside of
Microsoft legacy shops even when it did go cross platform and open source.

Where I work is very much not a microsoft legacy shop (a game dev startup) & we use c#. This is hardly unusual.
Yes, this went both ways: it was not uncommon when an army lost a battle to ask the other guys who their god were and to add them to your collection in the hope it would help next time.

In the 9th century or so the catholic church cracked down on a number of these practices. They forced the priests to speak Latin rather than the vernacular (to reduce the doctrinal drift: local priests would adapt their message and anyway many priests had been illiterate) and adopted other practices to make the experience a bit more magical (facing away from the audience etc). And they really enforced the "no gods before me" bit, though not the ban on images.

And in a battle you often caused the loser to chuck out their gods and use only the christian one, or were the tables turned you were not to add to your collection of one god.
cheapest seems a reasonable thing to optimize for

Until you find out that the cheapest source also waits two weeks to send your book. And sends it by a method that takes another four weeks. And doesn't package it properly so it arrives with the spine broken and water damage. And sends you a used book with pages missing. Or might just accidentally send you the wrong book but doesn't have a customer service contact.

The internet used to be a great place for bargains. Now "cheapest" is almost always the wrong choice.
What a bad statement without any proof. For sure, I suppose Apple isn’t making money out of its designs, by side helping normal persons to deal with heavily complex computers. And Google, Microsoft etc hiring tons of designers to keep up with it.

Of course, the more you scale design, the harder true talents are to find. That doesn’t mean the profession is useless. Also, developers caused a lot of havoc as well. Nothing that goes wrong today has been put on the market without developers. That doesn’t make them useless either though.

If you want to quickly assess the quality of component libraries like these, especially in terms of accessibility, just take a quick look at their Select/Dropdown implementation.

Their variant breaks all keyboard navigation features and doesn't respond as expected to keyboard only input. If they want to up their game, they should address this before moving out of beta.
I guess the different experience is because I had to deal with Allwinner.

But even with Rockchip, different vendors have different levels of support. We had one potential vendor that had excellent documentation, delivered the source code to everything, and responded really quickly and helpfully - in english - to questions. But they were way to expensive. And we had another who just gave us some mystery Android + Linux images, GPL violation included. No schematics. I spent some time porting Linux from one board to the other - they were very similar - but never finished, and constantly was afraid of configuring a voltage regulator wrong and blowing it up, or something similar.

Compare to x86 where I can just order random parts form newegg, screw them together and pop in a boot USB drive, and it will mostly work. I know that you get what you pay for, but at least I would expect the SBC vendors to do hardware enablement, and provide some kind of abstraction that I can run my OS on (or upstream their code).

GP doesn't say anything about Greek roots?

Anyway, the footer of the website says "Built in Athens, Vienna and London." so there's definitely a link with Greece.
The site also posts delivery times for vendors. It's usually fairly accurate even if it is a little longer than Amazon's 1-2 days, so at least you know what you're getting into beforehand.
Pretty nice as a way of finding non-Amazon places to buy books. I don't care so much about cheapest, but I do prefer to support independent shops and authors.

Any plans to add e-books, preferably with a filter to exclude those with DRM? (watermarking is fine, but adobe drm requires opening in windows and extracting things with dedrm, such a hassle / business opportunity)
It seems like you have to install tailwind so you should be able to customize it with your own config. (Haven’t tried it though)

What I’m confused about is the change of the api from tailwind, the whole `maxWidth=“max-w-sm”` seems repetitive and a worse abstraction.

Ready Gov – Plan Ahead for Disasters
I don't think you can dismiss religion in France on the right wing. The 'humanist right' on the west side of France used to be a major driver of right wing politics. They used to support Veil (right wing supporting abortion), and created a Christian workers union.

It's dying sadly, but it existed.
Another German here. I don’t know… Buchpreisbindung sucks when it comes to eBooks. It would be awesome if you could get the eBook at a reduced price if you have the physical copy.
I feel you. Vim has been such a staple in my dev life. So much that switching felt like betraying sweet uncle Bram ;-) And without the need to write typescript, I probably wouldn't have switched. But what made me stay even for non-typescript work were the little things, like the positions in the location and quickfix list being auto-updated while editing, being (feeling?) faster and more responsive, the saner default settings (server usage) etc.

Regarding lsp integration, it's just nice to have project-based instead of buffer-based auto-completion, auto-insertion of import statements etc. Definitely makes me more productive. Setting it up the way I wanted (non-obstrusive, on-demand) was a bit of pain though.
They definitely did, but the comment has been edited since then. This is why you always quote what you reply to, my bad :)

Thanks, I missed the footer of the page and just went by the GitHub page.
From the project's README:

Some people find C more fun to write than Rust or C++.

It's for fun; "should" doesn't apply to projects written for fun.

In addition to the helix resource, you may or may not want to look at:

https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim/blob/master/config.toml

I think most of the "muscle memory" bindings there are a bad idea (helix is different from vim - if you don't want that, I recommend neovim).

As for "dd" - that would be (as indicated in your quote) select line, delete (yd) in neovim.

Similar for delete to end-of-line - the second form is probably the "most helix like" - in being somewhat discoverable and "interactive" v(isual mark) return (end of line) d(elete).

As for filtering selection through pipe, or reading command output - they are also different:

"!" in normal mode is "insert-output" (r! in vim), while pipe is "filter" -
eg, after selecting three lines, hit "|" then input "sort<enter>" - and the selection is piped through sort.

As a long time vim user I agree that helix is alien - but I also think the change to selection-action is good for discoverability (the <space> context menu, interactive feedback on multiple replace) - and makes more sense.

I still would like to see <leader>, and some "shortcuts" like "dd" (but I'm not sure what would be "best fit" in the world of helix for that. I don't think "dd" is a great choice.
Hard to say, I was born in the late 80s and I have an affinity for the early 90s.

Also in relation to reductionism.
Probably not.

That tube has drag like a normal airfoil but its shape is highly impractical to store stuff like batteries.

An modern flight controls can overcome basically any instability in the design and there is no reason to make any aircraft less agile.

The gains having a slightly more efficient prop at very certain airspeeds do not offset the impracticality and drag.

The "best" design is probably a flying wing with wingtip props.
I had been using Stripe for a short time a couple of years back. I looked into collecting sponsorships and donations for OSS development via BuyMeACoffee (I strongly advise against them).

As expected, just a couple of bucks accumulated. Then a user sent an unsolicited $15 donation, along with an accompanying comment, asking for macOS user support, for help solving a user issue entirely unrelated to my project. I declined, explained the situation and offered to refund the donation. I never received a reply, but immediately after, I received a chargeback notification. Stripe took the $15 from my account as well as a $15 chargeback fee. The user claimed fraud. An appeal went unanswered, despite me providing all required proof.

In the end, this little experiment cost me money. It also opens up a disturbing avenue of hurting someone financially, given enough credit cards and chargebacks.
Consider that languages don't develop in isolation, and both the pre-conquest inhabitatns of the Isles and the Saxons had regular interactions with the Norse, where its religious/spiritual connotations could very easily have just become a cognate.
Any statistics book that have similar approach like this ?
I'm going to add a "No Amazon" filter in the next couple of days which excludes Amazon and it's subsidiaries from all searches. I also plan to add ebook and audiobook support but that will likely take until the end of next week until it's operational. If there's anything else you want to see please let me know, I'd be happy to build it for you.
Will agree the high framerate of talking over a Figma document is good for communicating that doc way better than screenshare.

But we moved all design ideation and strategy to IRL because something about the delay, audio quality and only one person talking at once kills the ability to think and problem solve. It’s like because your brain is so focused in deciphering the meeting that it can’t get into connection building mode that drives new ideas.
Reasons can be many just some ideas:

- Probably because they try to avoid needing to given an press statement/explanation to some more official entity.

- The whole meta verse could be going not so grate.

- Advertisement might not be going that well for meta either.

- Facebook is mostly used by older people and at least where I live most of the people have zombie Facebook accounts (i.e. they have one check in once a week due to family/old people connections and don't use it any further then that, so they might count as active users but are de-facto not)

- There had been a lot of whispers going around about people being unhappy about how some of the big tech companies kill competition by buying small startups and then silently dropping them after some time. This can count as not fully legal anti-competitive behavior in some situations so they can't just fire the people they brought, which might have contributed to them overgrowing.

- Silicon Valley has IMHO overpaid developers in average (and _only_ in average, and specific to SV) now that they have for years effectively killed most competition in one way or another (bought up, talent starvation, etc.) they might feel that it's time to lower wages for which they first have to get right of many existing contracts. What is better suited for this then a unstable economy where 1) they have an excuse to fire people 2) they can press lower wages because people are frightened and care more about having a ok paying job then potentially getting a greatly paying job.

- I feel some of the big tech companies work rather inefficient, sure they do have problems only people at their scale have, but then some small dev teams can sometimes compete with their products if you ignore that (and ignore network effect).

- Maybe they want to hide some fishy lay of schemes about not how many but which people they lay of. Potentially outright conflicting with employee protection laws in some states.

uh, I guess this are all wild rumors I have, in the end we will have to wait and see.
Well, maybe it should be done more often for other languages. There's many a software project announced on HN that I click thru to, on account of its promising title, only to find out it's written in a language / ecosystem that makes the entire thing less appealing to me. So I think it's good practice, actually.
Closed cities, like those in Russia/Soviet union are exception. Either people were forced to come or the incentives were too high to refuse.

I wonder if you’ve been through FAANG interviews in the last 8 years. It sounds like you haven’t.

A common thing seems to be that the reasoning behind the rule is missing. I have personally seen single return recommended for C# code, when the original reasoning for it is manual memory management.
Those 12k are probably not even all in R&D/tech side.

Even if 12k are out in the market, there's still a massive shortage for software developers and even though we are training an insane amount of new ones per year the vacant spots are still growing.

Software has eaten the world, there's no industry today that don't depend on software to increase efficiency. There are more and more devices requiring software, in all levels of products from infrastructure to consumer goods.

I really don't understand where do you think we have enough developers so that even "average" developers would suffer. They have experience, they will end up where other "rockstars" (side-note: I absolutely hate this terminology) have left for greener pastures.

I think you should really look at the landscape before writing such a haphazard take, or at least bring some sources on why you think that this will affect in any way the job prospects of new developers for the next 5 years. There's absolutely nothing to sustain your argument more than "I think this".

Fluoridated water safe, does not affect children's development, new study finds
I've tried to make the switch to Neovim from Vscodium before but there was so much configuration for all the language stuff (and I'm not the biggest fan of Lua). But after seeing this post and installing Helix it's been pretty painless so far and I think this can actually help me make the switch. I am about to try some configuration for Rust debugging but that shouldn't be needed once they've got full DAP support. I use Neovim as my standard text editor so the navigation and bindings aren't a problem, lets see if Helix can make my IDE be in the terminal too.
If by keymap you are referring to default key bindings then it’s extremely similar. I’ll definitely be giving it a whirl.
That's interesting! My personal folk-etymological conjecture had long been that "val" had had a proto-germanic sense of "big", leading to to other modern words like Walroß or Walfisch.

Your comment sent me on a brief etymological excursion and the words sadly are indeed utterly unrelated.
Strong feeling the WFH cull is starting and the economic downturn is a good excuse for them to clear house.

I'm perplexed by the motivation of this article: who's giving "armchair suggestions about how other languages should embrace Zig-style generics" and why should anybody care? If it's a bad idea, and someone tries to implement it, they would find out by themselves: there's no need to attack them for their different tastes.

And clearly it is only a matter of different tastes (i.e. wanting all languages to be just about the opposite of Zig/C++/D etc.): the choice of traditional compilation is ridiculed rather than understood as a deliberate and useful limitation and the worst accusation against "templates" is that they are inelegant and that they lead to messy error messages, not that they are limited.
I would like to see Taleb's reaction to this.

Now that is a useful discussion. The more I think about the study (the article covering it is just sh*), the more I think it would have been better to compare how many people had an actual colonoscopy between the two groups, compare everything that was compared between a) people with invite who did show up and those without invite that showed up b) people with invite who didn't show up vs. those without invite who didn't show up and c) those who showed up vs. those who didn't (the most important question). The latter can then be used to gauge overall usefullness by age brackets, gender, region and so on. Obviously, as soon as there are risk factors or other test results, we talk a different game all together.

As it stands, this study, while statistically very good, doesn't help anything to answer the really important questions and only confuses people by causing discussions about the study methods, then used to derive conclusions about colonoscopies (utter nonsense, but first principle thinking using supporting science /domains is really en vogue at the moment) instead of discussing the usefulness of colonoscopies in increasing survivability, early detection and decreasing probability of colon cancer.

This looks really good! I'm definitely going to use it. I'm curious what the purpose of it is though.

It doesn't seem to be made purely out of the goodness of the creator's hearts, but it's not monetized in any way and I'm struggling to think about how it could be monetized.

Libraries allow (not only) poor people to read as much books as they want for free or ~the price of a cheap book. That seems to be a much better mechanism to allow for literacy independent of income than trying to make books cheaper.
