Meh, unless you like to deal with constant problem with your GPU, no body is going to buy Intel GPUs, because AMD ones are already very affordable and offer better and more consistent performance.

The GN review really shows the harsh reality of Intel ARC

Even Linux support is limited to Linux 6.0, it might help that the DirectX to Vulkan stack in Linux is Better, but it still going to be a worse buy compared to AMD.
This is one longish discussion of the differences between education and hiring. [1] I think there is a carveout for federal contractors, which is what your link refers to. In general, it is not legal in hiring.

It's also easy to see that the "older generation dying out" is completely obvious, and happens anyway, no matter what amount of mind-changing is going on.
As minds change, some young and some not, the older minds go away, so that by the time the new idea is accepted, yes, most of those accepting it were young at the time the idea was first presented. Naturally.
I spent a large part of my formative years on Reddit and I agree with everything you just said. I don't know how to fix the issue, but I have some ideas.

One would be a "mod action audit." Each subreddit, or perhaps each moderator, would have a score indicating what % of comments are removed. Some random chunk of the removed content could be reviewed by auditors to determine what % were just spam and what came from legitimate users.

This way when I see a community where >50% of content is removed, I know that what I'm seeing is not organic.
So you're saying that protecting property is more important than a sensible fire policy?
For double height trains however go a bit slower, I think. In the denser populated Europe, with tracks shared with passenger service that is an issue as overtaking them takes even more infrastructure and regular stopping and accelerating again. Whereas in US there are large parts where they can simply go their speed for a long distance, which makes it really efficient.
It should happen all other factors being equal, but eventually successful companies start to grow and attract the kind of political manager types. Then the turmoil and in fighting starts.

Also, people hiring in their friends and family over others who are distinctly better.

I've been in many roles over the years in very different companies, and these two eventualities always play out. People are flawed, and the companies they create become equally flawed

If you think white men have it hard... Try being a black woman.

Your rosy portrayal of white struggle is deeply mis-informed... People struggle because of corporate cost-cutting strategies, not because minority hires are taking jobs from white men in droves.

If you have two equally qualified candidates - one anglo saxan male from boston, and one african american female from georgia - at many places, one is going to be consistently chosen.

What a nice and condescending reply. Do you believe that anyone who knows about these considerations and tradeoffs would automatically conclude that type erasure is superior, so someone who disagrees with it is obviously uninformed?

Since you didn't actually give any actual argument apart from "I disagree and I am smart" I don't think we have anything concrete to argue about, so let's stick to my original point: would you agree that in C# it is much easier to do "the right thing" when putting primitives in a datastructure such as a list, map, or set, because C# has value types and does not use type erasure for its containers, thereby preventing both a lot of overhead and the need for specialized container types for various (combinations of) primitives?
After doing a Ctrl-F for "need" and not finding any distinction between needs and wants, I'm wondering if you understand what a human need is and if this book helps uncover actual needs versus things that aren't needs.

The "killer feature" of the Quest/Quest 2 was that it cost $400 and came with everything you needed to get into VR. No PC required, no cables, no nothing. This is what really propelled Meta into the spotlight, and it's probably why they're even being given another shot with the Quest Pro. Other headsets, like the Windows Mixed Reality line and Valve's Index are decidedly better units, but they require pricy Windows computers and often force you to stay tethered to the machine. The Quest being battery-powered lets you use it wirelessly and anywhere you want. Having tried a few other models, the Quest has always been most comfortable to me purely because there aren't any cables sticking out of your head.

TL:DR - Meta makes seriously badass VR hardware that's held back by Facebook software. Hopefully John Carmack (or suitable legislation) will give us the best of both worlds.
It's a symptom of how broken Google's internal culture is. It can become clear REALLY fast if you're on a dead-end project that'll never result in a promotion.

A lot of the time, it's because the project isn't some new and shiny thing getting pushed by a director. Lots of critical, difficult tasks don't get attention - which means that new engineers get saddled with them, realize they've been fucked out of a quick promo, and then leave for greener (on multiple levels) pastures where they'll be better appreciated.
I think we should point out that part of that 8-sigma confidence I am quoting isn't just the initial experiment (which may have had as little as 3-4 sigma confidence intervals for quantum tunneling), but also that there are further experiments that re-confirm quantum tunneling by relying on it to observe some other effect.

That is something that is also lacking in the social sciences, medical science, and even some parts of modern physics: experiments that confirm other results by taking those results as fact and finding new effects.

At least in theory you can put an insulated web server in the forest with a battery large enough to last 30 years (assuming the server goes to sleep when unused). But how would you ensure it stays connected to the internet and is reachable through a known ip address?

> Over 50 years ago the US Military recognized that segregation and entrenched racial biases lead to inefficiencies and lack of readiness.[1] In an economy where hiring pipelines for skilled technical people are stretched incredibly thin, we need to be taking a hard look at why we're only getting people that look a certain way through our hiring process.

That doesn't follow, at all. For one, you're comparing apples and oranges. The "norm in Silicon Valley" is not to practice explicit racial segregation like the US Army did in 1940. Additionally, D&I may very well be operating at the wrong end of the pipe.

An anecdote: a non-white friend of mine recently quit her job, because she was pressured into hiring an incompetent person who checked a lot of DEI boxes. That person proceeded to drive her crazy with their incompetence until she burned out and quit.

I think it is great that microsoft has a diversity policy and is making clear to everyone there that it matters. It is quite ham-handed, but that is kind of the default in corporations of that size. I can imagine the frustration having to deal with such policies, but he apparently did not reach out to get diverse candidates.
It's a good analogy because they're both terrible. You can fly under the radar on reddit or facebook by staying small or using innuendo, but why subject yourself to either? Whatever relative merit one may have vs the other is irrelevant since neither is worth using. In both cases, you are only as free as a medieval peasant; "free" to say what you like as long as the lord or his informants don't hear you.

>But the one qualifying bit for the EEE strategy to work is to remove the open source option, replacing it with something that can only be provided by them

Well if that's the definition you're using, why are we even talking? 6 comments deep and you're only now bringing up that by the definition you're using only proprietary software can use EEE? That's a pretty big point, and probably should have been brought up in comment number 1.

Like what are you even talking about if you're just bringing that up now?

And I mean sure, define EEE in a way so that it can only apply to proprietary software. However in my first comment I said this: "The fact that the underlying code is open source apparently doesn't matter too much."

Personally, I think you can use the techniques of EEE to get control of an open source project, and whether your alternative is open source or not doesn't really matter since what it's actually about is control. Making sure the open source community treats your solution as the de-facto standard, making sure that your solution with all it's eccentric little commands is the one taught in schools, selling ad-on projects like log-collections daemons and making it harder for your competitors to do the same.

https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/21/the-categories-were-ma...

EEE is descriptive of what's happening, it's not prescriptive. If you'd like I can say that "redhat is doing stuff that looks a lot like EEE except for this list of caveats which make it slightly different from these other cases, but not different from these cases". But if we're done debating definitions we can talk about the actual behavior I find objectionable, but that's all pretty well documented in other places.
This is what it looks like for me.

yah, that's the kind of thing subgrid is meant to solve. in my head, the structure looks more like:

<body class="content">
<header class="popout"></header>
<main></main> <!-- implicitly in the content track -->
<footer class="full"></footer>
</body>

you shouldn't have to add an extra div inside <main> to be able to use the parent grid. so you subgrid on <main> and get the benefits of just adopting the parent grid for popping things out, rather than nesting with extra divs/classes.

> it's not really feasible for the dating site distinguish between "will successfully date for a few months" and "will successfully date for a lifetime".

I think it is feasible for a dating site to figure that out, given enough data.

And I think the 'few months' figure is probably too high - they want to match people who will go on a few dates or a one night stand, then return to the app.

It's a pretty damn strong signal when a user matches with someone, exchanges phone numbers, then deactivates their account. The ML algorithms will be trained to do everything possible to avoid that outcome.
Don't we already hire managers explicitly to make decisions like this? Given we've hired them, shouldn't we trust them to make the best decisions for their teams and their objectives? It seems as though the additional bureaucracy introduced by DEI serves only to disempower managers. This is the function of all bureaucracy, to disempower individual decision making.
That fits the estimates from one research article: [1]

The article also estimated that “wild land mammal biomass decreased ≈7.6-fold” when comparing the world today to prehuman times [2].

No, the OP is taking for granted that "a lot" of the teams responsible for that work were made of young white nerdy males, and provides no justification for this assumption. Especially in a world where, prior to the current computer boom, Western scientific progress has been associated with grizzled elderly people in solitary labs, and technology was the purview of megacorps run by middle-aged managers.

In this context, ceramic just means non-metal and non-organic. Plenty of ceramics have decent thermal conductivity - in fact, diamonds are ceramics and they are some of the most thermally conductive things ever. However, ceramics are very much not something you can thermoform. Even silicone (aka siloxane polymers) can’t be thermoformed. I’m not a huge ceramics expert but every ceramic I’ve ever used has been a thermoset.
> How many people have a 30 pound professional coffee machine and giant grinder setup worth $1000+ taking up half their kitchen?

A friend of mine has that but then... He used to own a restaurant.

For the rest of use a $350 Delonghi full-automatic will do just fine without all the fuss / ceremony. If you've got the means you can't go wrong with a swiss coffee machine from the Jura brand.

I put whole grains in, press a button and the machine does everything.

And I didn't have to built the kitchen around it.

I recommend a $350 full auto coffee machine anytime over a Nespresso for the coffee is simply better and cheaper than with capsules. And you'll make the additional money the full auto costs back in no time.
What's "funny" about your comment is that there is no "white" race.

"Whiteness" was created in a Virginia 1691 law to be "not negroe and not indian". Naturally, that also expanded to be not: Jews, Asians, sometimes not Italians, usually not Irish, and absolutely no indigenous people of any sort.

Defining yourself by what peoples you exclude is the core kernel of racism. And that's what "white" means.
> The difference is that in the latter it is not clear to the Lisp developer that A is meant as a LOOP local variable.

That's because in the latter example, A is NOT a loop-local variable. If you write:

(let ((a ...))
(some-form))

then it is clear that a is local to (some-form) regardless of what (some-form) actually is. If you write:

(let ((a ...))
(some-form)
(some-other-form))

then obviously it is not clear whether a is local to (some-form) or (some-other-form) or both.

But so what? If it matters that this be clear, just don't put multiple forms inside the body of your LET, and then it is clear. You don't need to design a whole new language to solve this non-existent problem.

> That's a design choice, not bad design.

It introduces a lot of additional complexity, including a syntax that is radically different from anything else in the language, and confers very little benefit. If that is not diagnostic of a bad design I can't imagine what would be.
