Apple is so trustworthy that everytime they have an opportunity to adopt open web standards, they choose instead to not do that and re-implement something proprietary.

If Apple is the bellweather for tech in terms of privacy, all I need to do is point to their new revamped advertising division to say "lol"
These rules and categories are ill-defined and even don't exist in some cases. You are not wrong stating ruling class has promoted racial ideas to weaken and control the populace at large. That doesn't mean they exist. The real power structure is held by particular networks and families, not races, as there is no such thing as race. The idea that you can draw lines around a group based on physical characteristic is what they promulgate to fool us, so to use the same groupings to supposedly fix society is a stupid mistake. Both Norwegians and Yemenis are considered "white", which makes no sense. Are you telling me that Kanye West should get more privileges than a poor Yemeni because they are white? This is absurd. Did you know that Swedes and North Africans are less diverse genetically than northern vs southern chinese? What about mixed race people? What about countries that are in between regions that follow traditional "racial" groupings, such as central asia? Are we really that dumb to categorize people based on superficial vague judgements about appearance? And to leave it up to the completely non-scientific and biased judgements of HR?
They did. They announced and demoed the new avatars in the Keynote, and explained why the current avatars are legless. But as with all things new, everyone is just too busy shitting on their own misunderstandings, rather than actually paying attention. :P

What did he say? Timestamp?
Yes, but it doesn't have to be the universe. It could just be a farm. Suppose a cow has a happy 3 year life munching grass in the field but is killed after that. There's more happiness on the farm. So should there be more of those cows on the farm? Or would it be better if those cows had never lived.
My first server was my windows xp desktop. I had a free subdomain at servepics.com and a dynamic dns client and we had a 0.25 mbit dsl connection. Being 12 I couldn’t figure out how to get an http server running though so I just hosted pictures with caesarFTP. I had to ask people to visit ftp://whateveritwas.servepics.com . I took a lot of party pictures with the digital camera my brother lent me. 2003 I think. This was a big deal at the time because there were no sites we knew of that allowed uploading images for free, that was a premium feature of the social network everyone was using back then called lunarstorm.

I mean, that's the entire premise behind the woke "society represses women/minorities" narrative.
Bit of both. Hard to say "they didn't do enough" when its clear that they have enabled all of their client's evil activities via their loosy goosy ruleset

i.e. choosing to not do enough to enable more revenue is worse than the potential remedy by saying "sorry, we didn't do enough" and should be penalized as such
I think the major problem with the show is that it doesn't follow the Hero's Journey that well[0]. The first few episodes feel forced because we don't really see Jennifer struggling and so we don't get that real call to action. We skip the call to adventure and jump right to supernatural aid and then skip the mentor and helper aspects. There's also problems that feel forced like the alien ship that just showed up for no reason, went away, and Bruce is on it 2 episodes later. But I think this is more of a problem of a show finding itself than anything else. As the series has continued I think it has gotten better. I don't think this is uncommon in a series and we find many very popular series which had very rough starts (Parks and Rec is a great example). Breaking the 4th wall is also quite difficult to pull off.

But I do agree that this scene you're talking about doesn't make much sense at that point in the plot (probably would have been better latter). It felt more like a lecture to the audience (these jabs have improved but can still be cringy). Audiences like demonstration instead of instruction. But I think later episodes are better demonstrating instead of lecturing.

I do want to point out that the adversities that men and women face are different. I can say that the first 3 episodes, as a man, I didn't really connect with Jennifer as a character. She seemed like a caricature (maybe women view this differently?). As the show progressed this changed though and it was easier to build attachment. I mean it is a superhero show, everyone is a bit of a caricature anyways, but it definitely had a rough start in hooking me.

[0] One could argue that the show is following the hero's journey. From this perspective, getting super powers is the call to adventure. Her not wanting to be a Hulk is the refusal of the call. I'm not sure what the supernatural aid is. But crossing the first threshold would probably be her first case with Abomination.
> Moving 500,000 kg (over 1 million pounds) 7.5 meters (~25 feet aka the height of a house) will give you about 10 kWh of energy.

In dollar terms, 10kWh is worth around $1. 1 million pounds is the weight of 2-5 residential homes, depending on size. Think about it: the cost to lift a couple of entire houses three stories up into the air is literally just one dollar. That’s why gravity energy storage only makes sense at a massive scale.
The inserts that come with the headset are not very breathable. You could change those.

This is "How to read variables optimized out in GDB sometimes", lest you might be misled to think that the value you are looking for is always hanging around somewhere.

Sometimes, it's just gone, literally optimized out completely. Consider this piece of code:

bool foo(void) {
int v = some_system_call();
bool b = v > 500;
some_function(b);
... /\* rest of code not using v \*/
}

There is no reason for the original value of v to stick around any longer than until the comparison with 500 has been made.

Even though the syntactic scope of "int v" tells you that v is valid for the rest of the function body, and indeed it is while you are writing the source code, an optimizing compiler can and should make use of the fact that you are not actually using it anymore.

As a contribution to further increasing the accessibility of TLA+, I've created a VSCode Dev Container environment supporting it. I believe it's the shortest publicly available route as of this writing to a fully working environment, with TLA+, LaTex formatting, graphviz visualization of state machines, etc. Just go here and follow the instructions. It's 10-15 minutes to a working environment, and you can then go through the TLA+ tutorial using the environment for a nice introduction to TLA+ (albeit with sadly low resolution video) and a guided tour of how to use this environment. After the quietest of roll-outs, it's six forks and six stars. Hope you'll agree! https://github.com/kevinsullivan/TLAPlusDocker
Unfortunately Relay phone number masking is too, at this point in time.
These people are not interested in creating a better world and a better life for everyone. They are interested in making the vast majority of people their personal slaves and digital sharecroppers. It’s horrible.
It depends on the area. Most go back to when the area was developed, some of them were voted into an association (eg historic heights), others are simply drawn at class lines (river oaks is entirely an association). The lines are really arbitrary. My house has a very minimal neighborhood restriction (no commercial front businesses) while my neighbors a few blocks away are required to maintain sidewalks, upkeep of yard, etc. Condos and townhomes obviously have HOAs as well. I believe a complete tear down is the only way to part ways with a deed restriction (which is why historic homes being remodeled are sometimes razed in the middle of the night)
i'm not missing anything, i'm just pointing out that using Gary doesn't make any sense. if you're going to use other cities to counter the OP's point, then choose something like Dallas or Tampa, or Miami. Gary is literally decrepit.
In response to "Don't do the 'both sides' thing", with a clear and humongous example of the difference between the sides, you... do the "both sides" thing.
Yeah; the indexing is weird when you're not used to it; but honestly I find starting arrays at 1 is actually incredibly useful for business logic. It's terrible for math, but it allows you to use things like truthiness really effectively for compound statements that return indices and stuff.

Like, for example, `string.find` returns the index where something's found. You can just do `if str:find("a")` if you want to test to see whether a string contains "a", whereas in most other languages that test for location you're required to check that the result isn't equal to `string::npos`, `null` (if your langauge supports that), `-1`, or some other value that's not 0. Lua, you can assume that it's truthy if it's found, because 1 is the start of the string, not 0.

Took me a while to get used to, but I really like the idiom now for things that just high-level string stuff, and glue code.

In other places, like Africa or Asia, or just anywhere without a white majority, does the inverse exist? E.g. giving white people special treatment in hiring because they're a minority there? If the idea is logically consistent, based on diversity and inclusion and not racism, it should exist? Maybe it does? Never heard of it.

So in the general case, it's quite a complex problem.

I'm not talking about "the general case". I'm referring to all the cases where the compiler obviously should know where the value is, yet the debugger somehow doesn't.
> Oh, that’s easy. Because you wind up with a better, more productive company when you put forth the considerable effort necessary to increase diversity. It’s winning in the marketplace because it’s better.

It would help if you cited your sources here, but I do remember myself seeing some studies on this.

One in particular was about how venture capital firms did better when they hired for diversity and had diverse people in top roles [1]. The study mentioned that venture capitalism has very particular homogenous in-group culture, which diversity hiring helped firms break out of. In fact many articles seem to push this idea that diversity hiring leads to more perspectives on issues and more out-of-the-box thinking, leading to greater success.

While this makes sense, this is very different from the rational pushed by the top-level comment of this thread, which says that diversity hiring is to make up for discrimination at the beginning of the funnel. Because if the goal is just to broaden perspectives by tweaking their hiring process, companies can do this without looking at race or gender. There are metrics that can specifically optimize for this. There's no reason why race/gender needs to be specifically considered in order to end up with more diversity of thought.

Are you saying you tried rust in 2013 and found it unsuitable? I think it was a pretty different thing back then. Though obviously that doesn’t mean D isn’t a great choice.
(responding to a now deleted comment, that argued that this wasn't an announcement for people who play Beat saber, and the whole segmentation of pro users vs. end-users made sense)

I agree the segmentation of devices makes sense, but it requires an app ecosystem that sits on top and needs to work for everyone together, and you need developers creating those experiences. Like when Apple launched iOS 2 and supported apps for the first time; you need a strong line up of developers and creators in order to move the industry forward.

Adobe Acrobat is not the thing to get corporate users excited. Nor Smartsheet. Where's Zoom and meetings with 3D spatial audio? Autodesk? Maya? Matlab? Training experiences? And yes, bring in games, fitness apps, movies together. We talk so much about "making remote work fun", that this can be a fantastic team experience to blend experiences.

But ok, it seems I'm overreacting to a lousy product landing page put together at the last minute. I'm now watching the keynote[1][2] (which, weirdly, it's not linked anywhere), and it's waay better.

As I expected, lots of mentions of new games, fitness apps, Marvel movies, and all intermixed with Zoom and Microsoft Teams (ha!), virtual monitors, collaboration tools, etc. And if you pay close attention, you'll notice that Beat Saber came right after Accenture and Satya Nadella (!), and discussions on the future of work. So it seems they are indeed blurring the lines between these segments, no matter what device you're using.

I'm still a believer, both as a professional and end user [3], so looking forward to testing the new hardware.

As a hiring manager I have substantial pressure to hire incompetent people to meet quotas. I confronted my recruiter in front of witnesses and was partially shunned.

I have been hiring for many years, and I truly pay no attention to gender or ethnicity. Now I am forced to.

It’s an insult to those who earned their position. It’s an insult to me as I am less and less likely to get a new job because I won’t fit quotas.

There is resentment all around.

I feel bad for the minorities who have worked hard to earn their positions, you are right that it undermines their work and trivializes their commitment to their work.

It’s gone way too far.
There is `rip`[1] (also written in Rust) which does more or less the same? Or am I missing something?

Carmack used to be pretty bad at giving talks but he kept doing them, and because of that, has gotten a lot better at it. Practice makes perfect.
My first real job was to work with another intern to write a “tool to keep track of who’s been trained on what” since they were doing it with a spreadsheet. This was in 2001.

We wrote it on the LAMP stack which gave us the full suite of whatever you could find on a Linux CD at the time.

Fancy graphs? No problem.

Send reminder emails? Sure boss! We dutifully started hacking and testing and hacking to get that function in.

To test, we decided to send emails to jackfrost, santa, and so on from our own sendmail server to the corporate mail server. It worked fine because we weren’t spamming it, we were just sending a few messages every now and then as we debugged.

Turns out there’s really a Jack Frost that worked for us.

He was not pleased.

We were amused.

I think we apologized, and I forget how we figured out he was a real person.
It's real, we got a couple jars in at Target last week.
> This would be great, but the question remains what to do if the jobs men prefer are being paid more than jobs women prefer. Is sexism why that's the case, or is there some other driving factor why society is valuing male preferred jobs higher?

Yes, supply and demand is generally the driving factor for how things are priced.

That's one consideration (and if storage gets as cheap as variable generation it will be the most important one). With the advent of cheap solar the value of moving the energy is a fair bit higher than its cost. So the economics become mostly a matter of cost of storage vs. duration.

If you can move energy from a time where it's the least valuable generation of a system that costs $15/MWh net (or even less in future systems) to a time when the cheapest scalable generation is $50/MWh then you've got a lot of room for losing some.

There's incentive for the solar system to overbuild 2x or 3x just to sell that 3pm-sunset energy so from their point of view they can sell the sunrise-3pm energy at any price over $0 and be profitable.

A hypothetical bad second hand battery might be the most valuable (and thus highest bidding) use, but it will have to compete with other opportunistic loads.
it was an interesting read indeed. "What if a black hole was actually a hologram, with the event horizon serving as the “film,” encoding what was inside?" got me good

I recently went through the second one for my hacker news app HACK.

I had an urgent bug fix update which fixed issues related to the hacker news website making some small html changes which broke the parsing code.

Apple rejected the update saying my app didn’t allow user content to be flagged, blocked, hidden etc. this had already been dealt with in a prior update and my app already included these features. Somehow Apple reviewer decided to review the app without logging in and obviously without logging in, you won’t see the ability to flag, hide, block etc.

This ended up wasting 2 days. And this is something which was already dealt with in prior update and my app already included.

I'd say it's a quite big one, "every city" has water towers to provide pressure to the people living in it, or they rely on the water source if it's higher up than the city.

There are probably exceptions, where this isn't true, but raised tanks make modern society possible.

https://youtu.be/yZwfcMSDBHs more on water towers, which are raised tanks of water.

We also pump water into fake lakes to later extract electricity from it. (https://youtu.be/66YRCjkxIcg)

Another good thing with water towers is that we can keep running the pumps at a lower RPM where efficiency than if we were trying to build a system with pumps to keep pressure.

Great channel if you're curious about everything related to humans relationship with water.
I'm simply pointing out that your three examples don't negate the fact that we have a system here that taken whole rewards and uplifts whiteness. White colonialism literally crafted the system that elevated those three non-white people. Do you think that that influence is not relevant just because those three people are not white?

Being disrespectful to people who disagree with you, and at the same time unable to produce any sensible argument only harms the cause you're fighting for.

Limited intelligence is the defining factor here, not background. Think about it. Humans can understand lions quite well, and we understand what's good for them, what makes them happy. And we do it without having to run around savanna biting zebras!

And yes, Jews and Muslims can have a very good idea about each others life, struggles and priorities—it's just a matter of education.

> globalist companies like Microsoft are by nature required to properly represent all of the people

I could argue with this and would probably enjoy it another time. Now let's remember the context we are in. We were talking about whether D&I are good for company's performance, not about any moral obligations you may think the company has.

> People have a right to be different, and a natural tendency to be biassed towards their own individual and cultural perspectives

We also have a natural tendency to fall for logical fallacies. But somehow we managed to identify those and find ways to fight them, not worship them. Nothing stops you from fighting the cultural bias you have (maybe not completely, but just enough to get it off the way of your work duties) in the same way—later go home, take off your employee hat and be different, biased, whatever.
