These arew for racism, but similar hockeysticks with the exact same timing exist for other social justice topics. Media, as one, started harping on identity politics and never let their foot off the gas.
I remember DEC/HP releasing the source to the digital unix AdvFS filesystem on sourceforge with the intent of porting it over to linux, but it never materialized. AdvFS had many advanced features. The source is still available and within it are some PDF slides that explain a lot of it's features.

People are in prison because of their own antisocial behavior, and you think that others should bear the costs of keeping them there?

That doesn't work. There are some really amazing people out there that don't fit the typical tech mold of straight cis (white) guy. They don't stick around if they have to navigate a monoculture that doesn't understand that they are constantly throwing out micro-aggressions to people outside of their view of what acceptable behaviour is. Separating your home life from work life only works for so long before you start to crack.

> a nice thought experiment would be to ask "how much would someone have to pay you to be the same person but black in your organization?"

These days, it would be the other way around. I'd bet many devs would pay a one-time fee of $10k to be a black dev in their organization. The payback period would be very short and would pay dividends for years.
So, let me guess.... It means in practice hiring BiPOC and women in "diversity positions", all the while keeping them away from engineering and engineering management (you know, the positions that pay $$$$$$).

I've seen BiPOC and women candidates turned down time and again because they "fit" better in the bullshit diversity spots. And then there's a rant about "fit" also known as "we want to discriminate on illegal or unethical things but we cant actually say that".
Has anyone successfully incorporated VR into their regular workstreams? If so, what's it like?
This says a lot about the biases of many journalists and why you are likely not getting a neutral viewpoint from many of them:

"Picturing the moderators responsible for steering conversation on Hacker News, I imagined a team of men who proudly self-identify as neoliberals and are active in the effective-altruism movement. (I assumed they’d be white men; it never occurred to me that women, or people of color, could be behind the site.) Meeting them, I feared, would be like participating in a live-action comment thread about the merits of Amazon Web Services or whether women should be referred to as “females.” “Debate us!” I imagined them saying, in unison, from their Aeron chairs."
I bought the Kia EV6 (and cancelled a Model 3 reservation) for a variety of reasons, and the V2L functionality (obv not exactly the same thing as V2G or V2H) was definitely a bonus point in my consideration. Funny enough, first time I used it was so I could run a fan in the garage while I turned the house power off while installing a 14-30 (30 amp) plug for charging.
My grandfather retired at 50 because he refused to us a PC when it became required (~1985 or so). He was lucky that he worked for a company that had pensions and bought people out into early retirement often so he had that option. If the adoption of VR is anything like that, I'll be looking for my out too.
What kind of statement is this? D&I is supposed to be comparatively balanced to the society is serves. Minorities are essential within companies to prevent bias in their marketing and product development that can be fatal to business success.

D&I is not a terrible paradigm that needs to be dismantled just because some companies take it to far, it's no different than accounting or other functional considerations within big business where it's too easy to lose sight of how balanced a company is internally. If you don't keep reports on finances a company can easily fail. If you don't take steps to make sure minority groups are represented within your company, it will also create situations where bias takes hold, and suddenly discrimination becomes the norm.

What's next? Should we get rid of sexual harassment training and policies?

Only someone from a background that elimination of equal opportunity would serve foremost would think that "complete blindness to race" is possible in our world. It's a childish and a destructive ignorance considering what is currently happening in our world even to this day, as white nationalist groups are growing in numbers, and other groups, a prior US president, and public celebrities are also regularly publicly expressing race based hate.
While literally zero loss is a violation of thermodynamics, with a really large tank and good insulation, it gets to self-discharge rates lower than most battery chemistries. A few percent per month. There's a small district heating system in Alberta driven with solar thermal power. It uses a large insulated soil heatsink. Most of the energy input is in the summer and it took four years to fully charge up to operating temperature. It holds enough heat to provide all required heating through the winter for ~50 large houses.

I think the point was that quite a bit of technolgical progess happened in the world prior to diversity initiatives. The reference to white nerds likely places the comment in an historical US perspective, possibly western European. Advanced technologies developed in other non-diverse cultures as well. China comes to mind in particular. But I feel like you knew that already.

This is a BS statistic meant to shock and inappropriately counts the entire area of wilderness that might be used for grazing which is just wilderness that would have supported similar animals anyway.
The problem is those filters are applied in the wrong order. If it was "promote diversity hiring once you have a pool of talented candidates to pick from", it would work.

But right now, it's the reverse: filter out non diverse candidates, and try to find a good one in the remaining.

Yet, it's already hard to hire talent, even with no filter at all.

So now I have clients I assist for interviews, looking desperately for good devs, but when they find one, which is already a rare event, they often can't hire him (yes, him, because the hiring pool is mostly males in IT in 2022) thanks of those blockers. Of course, they already have a ton of hiring constraints to match for, so this compounds.

This week, I'm going to interview the one candidate that could make it through the diversity policy. His resume is a train wreck, and I already know it's going to be a waste of time.

So they are going to go through those shenanigans for the next year or so before finding their mythical creature, the same one their competitors are fighting for in this very competitive market. Of course, this means their projects are going to be delayed a lot.

It's good for me, I get on the payroll for longer. And I'm a diversity bonus for them, being from another country, so they won't get rid of me any time soon.

But I don't envy them, they are set up for failure.
Keystroke delay based heuristic is just naive, all that means is that the attack needs to happen on an idle system.

In an ideal world, vendors would actually populate the serial number field with a number that's at least semi-random.

Double the RAM, higher resolution, color passthrough, controllers that aren't tracked by the headset (which basically means you get a wider area of motion), pancake lenses (a nice feature that puts your face closer to the screen and allows for slimmer headsets), reduction in weight.
> What is at least also needed are dealing with the supply side, which is incentivising and cultivating educational paths.

100% this. If companies want to show that they're improving the diversity of the tech field, sponsoring study programs and science olympiad teams in underserved communities are a much better investment than quotas. The only thing that's going to increase the representation in tech as a whole is increasing the number of black, Latin, indigenous tech workers.

Instead, companies seem to only care about signaling diversity. When a company sets a quota and pushes their representation of "diverse" demographics up a few percentage points, they're increasing the diversity within the company. They're doing nothing to actually increase the diversity of the field.
We seem to have gone full circle somehow. It is ironic that in its intent to ensure employers hire based on merit, academic or physically qualified abilities so that people could obtain those jobs without being discriminated against - we have arrived back at a point where companies consider their identity to make sure they meet "quotas" - thus implementing discriminatory policies.
Showing up as a blank page for me. Fascinating.

People should care because big companies are constantly competing on talent and it would be a competitive advantage to leverage a larger talent pool.
Tosh! Thousands more people die in winter, not from cold, probably because they're stupid enough to see NHS doctors. They don't actually die of cold in a country where uninsulated old houses rarely even form ice on the inside of the windows these days. Even that isn't harmful; you should try it, it might make you realise you are much less fragile than you believe. In mentioning the architecture I was merely referencing that Britain having less-insulated houses than some countries is not some moral failing but an historical accident - but if I could trade all modern houses for beautiful ones I would do so in an instant. Even without heating they do not get cold enough in winter to kill you; if you transplanted them to Poland they would, of course, but we don't do that.
As you can see from the other replies here, it's not just me.

XCode presumably works fine if you work with it daily. What I can't fucking stand is having to download it to do something unrelated to it (and, lol, how it decides to be the terrible default editor for every file that's even vaguely related to code and then I have to go update all the file associations).

I especially hate that you have to download a second copy every year for the Mac beta. Especially when you have no desire to ever write Swift or Obj-c code in your life, like most of us.

Couldn't you make a similar argument about DO?

I definitely think the design of the DSL is a little chaotic, not to mention difficult to remember, and having two entirely different DSLs implemented by the same macro is downright ridiculous. But it's definitely good enough at its job and better than not having it at all. If it didn't exist, people would probably be DIYing their own (even worse) versions of it, without the assurance of it being part of the specification and ostensibly a well-tested part of any implementation.
I somehow suspect they wouln't fare any worse.
Aren't you using the cloned voices to generate marketing material for your company to make profit? Indirectly profiting without consent or compensation seems like a difficult ethical line. It also seems like something you want to have a very good stance on when a law could be passed that completely shuts down your ability to operate.
People focus on the dollar amounts for contesting tickets, but more likely the problem is time.

If you have a minimum wage job you likely don’t have the time flexibility to allow you to go to any kind of “court” to contest a fine. If you have a high paying job, then likely the time costs you more than what you save - especially if the cost of contesting a fine in capped at something “affordable”.

Your other question: what is “acceptable service level” measuring for a ticketing service?

I think the Window Controls Overlay[1] approach that Microsoft is proposing for Progressive Web Apps on windows seems like an interesting compromise to solve some of the issues you raise.

Specifically that the client code is allowed to customize _most_ of the headerbar, with the exception of an area reserved for the window controls (minimize, maximize, close, etc).

It seems like this approach would still support alternate or tiling window managers as they could omit or provide custom window controls.

Perhaps space itself is the spacecraft, with extra-dimensional links between matter hiding in dark energy, creating an almost infinite capability for sensing and affecting matter? Perhaps black holes are the homes from which these aliens reflect their powers across the event horizon, providing powerful reach and safety? Or maybe they just live in the ocean and they don't like black holes either. I mean if we're going to go tin foil, might as well go all the way.
They must be non-obvious to an expert in the field.

In theory that's a strictly tighter constraint than non-obvious, although it's impossible to actually implement.

However, independent invention isn't necessarily a proof that the particular patent should not have been granted.

Often, it is not the solution but its problem space that's obvious. There tends to be a finite domain of reasonable solutions, and solutions converge to that domain.

In which case you probably want some sort of thicket busting legislation.
How would this policy work for non-minority candidates who start with a disadvantage?

When you divide a time interval in two, you don’t get any cross section whose size you could base the argument on. Even if you would get a cross section, time arguably would be more like a cylinder or prism than a pyramid.
Depends on what the goal of the exercise is. For the majority of people who need to be in better health, zone 2 cardio is what they need rather than increased caloric burn. You can't look for time efficiency with zone 2 cardio - you just have to do it for enough time to build conditioning. Depending on the person, zone 2 might be running, but for most people a brisk walk is enough.
So what would you want to have happening in the case Cantrill was talking about? The aim is to have good systems and there have been plenty of bad holistic systems in the history of computing. But by good, non-holistic systems, do you mean that we have a motherboard with well-documented firmware that the buyer of the hardware can't see into except according to the interfaces the vendor has provided? This seems to be potentially hiding the kind of information about a malfunctioning system that gets Cantrill so worked up about.

I’m not as down on subscriptions for apps as other people seem to be. If—and I recognize these are big “ifs” here—the annual price is reasonable (which I’d roughly define as “no more than what you’d be paying for upgrades if they were amortized over a yearly basis”), and developers use this stable recurring revenue to make frequent updates to their apps on a rolling release rather than holding big features back for major updates every one to three years, I’m happy enough to pay for them this way.

Granted, I’d prefer to see the ability to handle subscriptions the way Panic does for their editor Nova, in which you get all the updates as long as your subscription is valid, and if you stop paying you stay on whatever the most recent version was when your subscription expires. (This is distinct from Jetbrains’ take on this, where when you stop paying you stay on the version that was current when your subscription started.) This is something I don’t think the App Store supports, either.
Face tracking has been done in other headsets from (roughly) the same angle for like five years now. HP released a relatively cheap headset a year or two ago that did facial expression tracking from a similar angle.

> White people are over represented across the workforce because America is not a meritocracy -- benefits of economic class are correlated with race because of white supremacy.

Be careful because white people are actually under-represented[1] at Microsoft relative to their makeup of American population[2] (48% at Microsoft vs 75% country-wide). It's really important to understand this because otherwise DEI initiatives may counter-intuitively increase representation of white people.

In the model I imagine, the prison is not necessarily involved in dictating what jobs there are. There may be _some_ jobs where you work for "the prison" (janitorial stuff, or a cook).

But there are plenty of other things prisoners could do if reasonable accommodations were made. Making widgets, for example.

Also, taking the "prisoners must work" piece out of the equation doesn't really solve any of those problems.
>More often than not, diversity initiatives come in the form of quotas or penalties for hiring or promoting too many "non-diverse" people.

This is literally not the case for the author. From the article:

>I told HR that I had considered it and I believed my recommendation was correct. HR said “OK, then we don’t need to change anything. I just wanted to check that you had considered them.”

That's literally all the author had to do. He made up the idea that it had an impact on his ability to advance in his career in his own mind.

>Again, there was no quota, but it seemed clear that promoting this person would have made HR and my corporate vice president happy.

It only "seemed clear." Weasel words. Engaging in the hyperbolic. This entire discussion is predicated on the fabrication that there is some racialized penalization system in place. It is scaremongering, nothing more than balking at the requirement to do the bare minimum.
