You hear this kind of argument a lot, people like to accuse one another of "virtue signaling". I like to call it the Joker argument- "You're just like me underneath, Batman." It's an argument you can trot out in any situation too, even if you don't have any real point to make, because it isn't an argument at all, but rather a character attack. It's lazy and dishonest.
I'm very suprised they are not using face tracking and/or device fingerprinting to thwart this.
Does it have to? Humans are really bad at being rational actors. The fact that some groups are less represented is a source of bias on its own. They can still be sorted out if they don't meet hiring standards in the second step, where unconscious bias is a lot less likely to affect a person that can demonstrate their skills.
That's part of the problem. The other part is the networks you are tapping into to find candidates. People tend to collect others that look, act, and think like them. That's one reason why people group up into subgroups that all have similar traits, past experiences, and belief systems.

When it comes to a recruiting pipeline this is critical. If you are tapping members of your team to help finding candidates from their networks and your team lacks diversity, you are going to just build out your team with more of the same.

The same goes for where you are looking for candidates outside of your team. If you are only targeting a small number of schools it's really easy to end up with a homogenized set to pull from. I know from experience working at some of the big tech powerhouses, they'd target a handful of schools and only hire college grads from there - which means they miss out on recruiting from state schools, historically black colleges, and other pockets where things are more diverse.
That's not a problem unless you are either racist or sexist, in which case a preference for people based on their race or sex would make it a problem. But for everyone else, it's just whatever it is.

I've experienced this too, and in practice DI&E reminds me of the kind of rules advocated for by people who live on a lake, ostensibly to protect the lake but in reality to preserve their own property value and make sure nobody can build near them. Making rules than mean explicit support and sponsorship are needed to get somebody though means that employees end up serving and being promoted at the pleasure of whoever is currently in power, giving them more power. There are many ways this works but all-in, it ends up just consolidating power, not achieving any of the ostensible aims (whether or not you think those aims are worthy)

The beauty of capitalism is the process that farms for the most net value extracted from the employees is more favored to win. I'm all for competitor companies hiring based on diversity (aka progressive-approved racism) , it creates market opportunities for the firms I work for.
What always bothered me about DE&I initiatives is that they are trying to wring diversity out of their existing hiring pool.

If your indeed job posts didn't bring diverse candidates then, why do you think it would now? Because you added a "Please apply if you're DiVeRsE" line to it? Don't be ridiculous.

If you want diversity of candidates you can't keep going back to the same talent pools. You have to diversify where you're drawing talent.

If your college program is primarily getting white/asian males, you can't suddenly expect it to start throwing in women & poc as well. You can't suddenly expect it to start giving you LGBTQ+ candidates.

If you want diverse candidates, you have to look at diverse hiring pools. Look at the bootcamps that focus on diverse groups you're targeting. Look at schools that focus on diverse groups you're targeting.

If you're really interested in diverse candidates, you can't keep expecting them to just show up if you add a "We want diversity!" to your job description - you have to change where you look for them.
For me, IRC, message boards, etc. I also think reading documentation is something that one needs to learn, and often answers a lot of questions. Even before Stack Overflow existed, I saw many ignore the documentation that was often right in front of them.

I like the alignment of incentives here, but "match" would have to be defined better. If it's a literal match (mutual like) it would effectively be a per-pay-like and wouldn't work. Maybe something along the lines of "matched, chatted, met, stopped using the app for X period of time"?

I see haters in the surrounding replies and agree on tribal aspect, so to defuse that, I'll say Firefox is doing something interesting and different from what we're shipping. It is worth having browsers try different approaches, no matter who is "first" (Brave likely will be, for stable release channel distribution).

It seems Firefox’s cookie consent blocker automates clicking Reject after letting consent-management-provider(CMP)-scripts load.

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/compone... (shared above already)

It looks like the code also injects opt-out cookies too, may sometimes do both click and cookie injection. Session cookie, so has to inject recurrently.

The Brave approach blocks the CMP scripts that pose these bono-consent dialogs in the first place. One reason we favor this approach beyond simplicity: many consent frameworks, besides being found illegal already in EU courts (going to top court soon), do dark deeds: extort from publishers, lie to and track users no matter what the user clicks.

The comments seem to be in conflict with the content of the blog post. The author seems to be lamenting what is feasible more or less, but seems uninterested in putting in the extra effort to keep up or anticipate the expectations or demands of the modern web. It almost as if his nostalgia is at war with whatever tastes he has acquired technologically since his college days. Maybe he can compromise by caring less about the demands or expectations about the modern web.
My operating theory is that Apple is being coerced by federal regulators not to release e2e software without backdoors like this.

Their critique might've been helpful/valid if approached correctly, I don't know. I do know that Ctrl+F'ing through a 30K+ word book in search of the word "need" in order to call out the absence of some very specific thing they decided is essential, without actually reading the book, seems to me like idle sniping and not a genuine critique. It comes across as peevish and snarky.

To the OP, the book looks interesting and I've started reading it from the top. FWIW btw, it loads very quickly on my end.

Once resolution is high enough it will be compelling but imo Immersed is held back by current headset resolutions.

Until that happens I don’t see companies sending this out, not to mention things like motion sickness some people get even with low motion VR like immersed.

D's advantage over Rust is its familiar syntax and semantics. C, C++, Java, C#, Python, etc. programmers feel at home once they learn some differences. I heard others say "D is what C++ should have been" and "Compiled Python".

I did use Rust for a brief period in a project where the experienced Rust programmer among us was throwing '&' characters here and there to make the code compile, seemingly randomly in many cases. Personally, I remember fighting with impedance issues with the many different string types of Rust. All of this spells a steeper learning curve to me.

I think D is familiar to programmers of many other languages.
Yes. "Disadvantaged" isn't a clear enough concept to act on, even if it were the same thing as race or gender, which it isn't. It's not even semantically clear. Does it mean something bad has been inflicted on them externally in the past, or does it merely mean their present situation is worse than average without passing judgement on why?

The whole woke DEI idea of people being "disadvantaged" is itself a disempowering notion. It tells people that there is no point making better decisions or trying harder in life, because what you do or don't do doesn't matter, only outcomes matter, and if they are poor someone else will give you stuff for free. It's the ultimate form of emasculation.

Is there a reason that these big installations of OS "components" aren't just distributed as APFS .dmg files, where the (pre-compressed) APFS volume in the disk image just gets shoved into your OS APFS container and wired up to automount at its directory mount-point?

(Basically like how Ubuntu's Snaps work filesystem-wise; but interacting directly with the logical-volume manager to create volumes, rather than keeping the disk image around as a file in your filesystem.)

For that matter, given that the APFS OS volume is read-only, is there a reason macOS hasn't yet transitioned to the coreOS model where OS updates just are just Courgette-alike binary diffs that construct a new OS volume beside the old OS volume atomically by stream-merging the old volume with the patch, and then blessing the result? Or the game-console software update model where the base-images of things are immutable, and instead updates are their own read-only volumes that get overlay-mounted on top of the base images when you mount the base images? (I know macOS can already do the latter for security hotfixes; it's strange that they don't use that capability for regular updates.)

This problem was solved years ago with code signing.

Running unsigned code requires several hoops, even running signed code which isn't Apple Approved requires telling the OS that you know what you're doing, twice.

Running signed code which has been altered, such as a hacked XCode, isn't possible, as far as I know.

If this was the reason developer accounts were required, it no longer is. From Apple's perspective, there's only upside in requiring them, which is the most likely explanation for why they do.
I have never gotten over Microsoft putting ads on the Windows desktop. It felt like the Rubicon was crossed at that moment: no longer would my personal computer be mine. And that was from a software company doing it to software that I paid for.

Indeed you don't. Poettering has a similar idea in [1] (scroll down to "Summary of Resources and their Protections" for the tl;dr table), where he imagines OS files are only protected by dm-verity (for Silverblue-style immutable distros) / dm-integrity (for regular mutable distros).

Sorry i have to comment on this cheezy as it may sound.

Dont give into the fear. See if there are alternative power sources you can play with for your raspberry pi and see if there are creative ways to buy them (used, other countries, etc).

Re power sources, what can you do with a solar powere battery? Is there a diy system of power you can build? One that takes in mainline power when available, and solar or battery when not? talking about small hobby panels that can charge a battery during the day and discharge at night. I used power banks for that purpose.

In this context if my life style is under threat i want to life style even harder. I sold a car and instead of buying a replacement i will install solar panels. I know its a fortunate case but even if i can life style a little bit harder and lay less in energy then i will do so (not waste energy but say if it gets cut because of actions if a certain dictator then i can still plug my phone in to criticise said dictator … even harder).

tl;dr; i’d look for creative solutions just so i can stick my two fingers up to the current situation.
There's a short story called the Lifecycle of Software Objects. It introduces the idea of platform wars, e.g. competition between various metaverse worlds. I see this playing out with Horizon, maybe Roblox, Epic, etc. Things are mostly interoperable across platforms but some have limitations.

Having the choice for digital worlds would make it a little less dystopian. But I think the bigger thing is having competition with hardware, for the 'next-level surveillance' reason you highlight.
> it's still a lot harder to succeed as a non white male than it is as a white male.

Part of the issue is that you're presupposing a uniform definition of success. Different cultures have different priorities, and not everyone wants to spend 80 hrs a week in the office to climb the ladder and become a millionaire. Some cultures prioritize family/social relationships, sports, or a connection with nature. Unsurprisingly, these different cultures can often be racially affinitized. Sure, most people wouldn't mind being rich, but many do mind the hustle often accompanying that form of success.

I think part of what you describe around momentum holds merit, but I don't think affirmative action goes about the remedy in a constructive manner. It's fighting racism with more (albeit different) racism. You turn it into a zero sum game where your political posturing can be more valuable than your work contributions. That incentive structure is degenerative for all parties.

> If you grow up in a wealthy family, you've got easy access to great education, mentors, role models, capital, etc. If you grow up in a poor family you have way less of all of this.

Genuinely curious, would you support an initiative to shuffle all babies between families at birth? Your argument seems to be "who you're raised by gives an unfair advantage in life, and we should correct for this societally". It seems to me that a random shuffle would equally distribute any inherent bias relative to generational momentum.

Yep, plus Zuck himself has publicly criticized Apple and said they aren't gonna go down that route. Look at all of the mainstream consoles, PS5, Nintendo Switch, etc: none of them allow you to sideload anything. And Meta even went a step further than that with the semi-unlocked bootloader. That is unprecedented, most Android phones don't even have that.

Lol, I didn't have the feeling that it wanted me to "sit in my shame", it legitimately said it on a slide.

Again all valid points. My focus though is very self centered as a parent, it's on my kids and no one else.

My kids are A students and attend gifted classes, their schooling is fine. Regarding infant mortality, again you are probably right with the numbers but they are not my focus. All of these things were my focus for a very long time, don't forget I have been a hard core Dem for 20+ years. My concern now is my kids and what I want them exposed to at school. I have been pretty focused on doing the greater good politically for a long time. In regards to the current upcoming state elections I am going to be selfish and focus only on what is best for my family for the next 4 years.

Note: I am also very aware that my change in focus and world view is significantly linked to my high income and the benefits it provides me right now. I just am fine with it, and am putting my goals and wants for my family over everything else. I worked 50-60 hours a week for years to get here. I'm not opposed to being selfish for a bit.
One goal of this is maintaining social cohesion between groups of people who can be immediately distinguished in combat. The visible existence of middle-class and upper-class Black families presents a lower-middle-class black teenager (or any teenager) with a choice:

A. Spend a lot of time and effort growing into someone with the skills and social access to be a part of one of those middle-class (or with luck upper-class) families.

B. Spend a moderate amount of time and effort maintaining a position in the lower-middle-class.

C. Spend a small amount of time and effort to fall into what socialists call the lumpenproletariat.

D. Spend an enormous amount of time and effort to gather a group of conscientious and industrious peers to form a new militant group which seeks to take power, trusting them to be rational enough to act effectively and loyal enough not to betray your cause.

E. Join an established militant group.

Why does Microsoft care? Microsoft wants to sell services to various governments, who want to maintain monopsony power on recruiting those who choose path E.

They also want tax revenue from those who choose path A. They also don't want to spend tax revenue on the messes left behind by those who choose path C or D.
