> I haven't looked at DWARF for ages. Can it describe the situation that a variable is valid (in some register) in the beginning of a function, but then goes "out of scope " in the middle of the function?

Yes, with DW_OP_entry_value used in location expressions to indicate that the variable value is in a certain location on entry to the function. However -- debuggers typically don't store all register values on entry to all functions, so usually the stack frame up needs to be instrumented with call site information indicating where the debugger can find longer-term stored copies of the arguments.

In TFA you can see that happening correctly wherever there's a "@entry" annotation from gdb for an argument, in some cases there isn't a longer-term copy of the value further up the stack, in which case the variable remains optimised out.

Most of the old place names and literature describing New Orleans use the term bayou. Though I think the core downtown area was originally built on [slightly] higher ground above the surrounding bayou(s). I don't know what New Orleans looked like 100+ years ago, but at least today the area generally looks more bayou'ish, though I'm sure there were also plenty of swamps here and there. Certainly you don't have to go very far to reach a swamp, but neither do you need to go very far to reach a bayou.

I grew up on the Gulf Coast, mostly further east on the Florida Panhandle, but also very briefly in rural SW Louisiana surrounded by actual swamps. I suspect people today will tend to use the term swamp for its more derogatory insinuations when describing New Orleans, and bayou for other areas when they're trying to be more charitable or simply because bayou is more apt.

FWIW, to me a swamp is very stagnant and mostly overgrown with trees, whereas a bayou tends to me more open and dominated more by grasses than trees, though you can still certainly see trees (e.g. in clusters on high spots/islands). That said, the term bayou is more often heard in Louisiana, Mississippi and Eastern Texas than in Florida or Alabama, so I've not had many occasions to ponder the distinction.

Good for him then, but AFAIK he is still very much into space and I hope he'll have another chance even if it's gonna be funded by money Facebook gave him.

Providing services or technology 'to the Crimea region of Ukraine' would violate US sanctions.
As it happens, women leave interviewing.io roughly 7 times as often as men after they do badly in an interview.

Makes sense. Men are conditioned to experience rejection more than women. Considering reproductive dynamics, men may even be biologically adapted to rejection to a greater degree than women. I'll bet there's some interesting studies out there on, for example, sexually dimorphic cortisol levels/activity.
To be honest, this just described your grand post.
We know how to reduce bias in hiring. Using a blind audition.

A much smaller amount of information about the applicants origin leaks through. Implicit bias is attacked via limiting the information that it can act on.

It seems categorizing people by race and gender at the individual level is a recipe for disaster and gives racists the power to do exactly what they want, pick and choose which types of people get to benefit.

If you give a regular person information about a persons race and gender, the damage they can do is limited to whatever implicit bias (if any) they have.

If you give these tools to a racist or sexist, you've given them the keys to the kingdom.

The conclusion is, why is Microsoft making it a requirement to know about race and gender at every single hiring step? Surely this just needs to be an aggeregate statistic right?
The other replies are correct, but there is a bit more to it.

Lua is a very small language with a tiny standard library. To extend it you write modules in C (or another language with bindings). This allows connecting the Lua code to various libraries. A notable example in lite is SDL. Without the C code in this repo the Lua code wouldn’t be able to use SDL for drawing or inputs

On one hand, sometimes I want to throw 8 scoops of Dunks from the big container we get from Costco into the drip coffee maker. Usually in the morning when everybody is rushing out the door.

On the other hand, sometimes in the afternoon I will break out the scale, grinder, kettle, Chemex, locally roasted coffee, and take a few minutes.

Neither setup is expensive, just different takes on the same thing.
Hell, it's hard to believe/digest. Anyway, it seems forced, that's for sure. The 3D glasses/TV madness had similar traits back then. If this turns out to be true, then I'm wondering what will the company who succeeds creating a compelling Metaverse will get in return. :O
No, they don't. Not in this case, at least. They can just build better software, and it will get adopted. You're writing Go already, so I'm not sure why anyone would want to burn time in pointless debates about this stuff. Carry on! You're already doing it right.

How is this related to DEI?

"As CUNA board chair, Smith had appointed a Diversity and Inclusion Ad Hoc Working Group and tasked its members with looking at the issue. In February, he wrote that their findings and his 40 years in the credit union movement told him the time had come to “officially recognize diversity and inclusion as part of the credit union philosophy.”

==Right, but why? The other principles are things that define credit unions.==

It's not a secret. Credit Unions (and co-ops) also employ people, so it makes sens from that angle, as well.

“Credit unions were established to serve specific – typically underserved – communities, making a place for those who had none. And today, our mission continues to be to provide opportunity and access for all."

And the future community is one that will include more minorities. Almost all growth in the U.S. population is coming from Hispanics, blacks, Asians and other minorities. The Census Bureau forecasts that non-Hispanic whites will be a minority of those ages 18 to 28 by 2028, and a minority of the total U.S. population by 2045.

“If we want to be more relevant to the communities we’re trying to serve, then focusing on becoming more diverse in our workforces really does matter,” Hansing said.” [1]

Important thread. Shame on you, Wikipedia.

In addition to fleddrs remarks regarding that, if you've been 'hungover' from non-alcoholic beer and potentially other drinks and food, it might have nothing to do with alcohol at all.

It might be histamine intolerance.

Part of what makes you 'feel hungover' is the fact that parts of the beverage has been converted to histamines/contained histamines already. It's the part that makes headaches. It's particularly bad because of the de-hydration part of drinking and histamine problems are a concentration thing, as in being low on water or having enough water in your system w/ the same histamine amount can be the difference between headache or no headache. Histamines are both present in alcoholic beverages in the first place and alcohol inhibits the DAO enzyme from breaking down histamines. Now the problem with NA beers for example is that even though there's no (or way less) alcohol to inhibit DAO, if you're low on DAO for example, this can still be enough to make you feel hungover as histamines are still present/going to be created from the beverage, even though it's no longer a 'double whammy'. Certain foods will be able to do the same if this is what was causing it for you.

An example of what might happen if that's what you have:

Non-alcoholic beer -> headache
One piece of lasagna a day, no problem
One piece of lasagna for lunch and another one for dinner from the left overs -> headache
Drink one tiny bottle of Actimel -> headache

The exact amounts may vary for different people, some foods are worse than others etc. E.g. it might not happen with tomatoes for you but may happen w/ certain cheeses (e.g. blue cheese might be an issue, so don't eat that whole 200g package of Roquefort all at once even though it's tempting).

Basically anything that contains histamines (or biogenic amines in general) or gets converted into histamines (such as histidine - also added to some vitamin/mineral pills for example) can now give you a "hangover headache".

Not to mention what lots of yeast can do to your digestive tract if you happen to drink all the yeast that had gathered at the bottom of that bottle of Hefeweizen.
Personally, I use a <input type="checkbox"> to do that kind of thing, like the hamburger menu.
It seems to me that some subjects are so specialized that the group that makes up one's 'peers' is fairly small. How do they have real anonymized reviews when it becomes easy to recognize the writings of the author? The more papers that someone writes, the easier it would be for their peers to recognize the writing style and other quirks that would give the author away.

> If it makes sense to "open in new tab" then it should be a link. Otherwise it's a button.

The problem is that apparently, an infuriating number of Front end devs seem to think that nothing in their shouldn’t-have-been-an-SPA page should ever be a link and go somewhere, preferring instead to waste an equivalent amount of time popping up some modal or changing page anyway.
Yeah I wouldn’t think anything of this if it were 3% the other direction… that’s a measurement error.

Overall, I get the feeling that women have far more confidence issues than men do, sadly.

Women aren't being systematically oppressed ~ but confidence issues might lead them to believe that they are, even if they can't identify any actual causes.

The real systematic issue seems to me to be that women aren't getting help in the confidence apartment, hence they can't easily stay standing in the face of something that may well crush one's self-confidence.

And there may be many, many things in workplace, not just interviews, that can feel defeating... interviewers are there to filter out those who can't handle the strain of the job, those who don't have the qualifications, etc. And even if that's overcome, then the job itself may overtime wear one down.

Burnout and imposter syndrome aren't nice to run into... :/

Can you say what you think is really cool about it?

It's fine if it's hard to explain. There are lots of things I can't explain the appeal of to me, and lots of things I didn't get until I tried.

But I'll admit I don't get the appeal of VR, so if you've got a good take on it I'd love to hear it. It would be great to be excited about something new. (It's been a while.)
Had no idea you could do this with Google Meet - thanks.
It is a really awful video. The same clips are repeated two and three times. And no takeoff and landing video.

There's older video of a previous prototype taking off, landing, and flying around.[1] That gives a sense of how it handles.

It's a reasonable design. More practical than the eHang.[2] The eHang has been around for years; it's a quadrotor drone scaled up to carry people. It has the big problem of all pure-thrust craft - no glide capability. Flies OK, but not much range.
There have been a few other drone-like vehicles built like that. None seem to be deployed.
Range and battery life are a huge problem.

Having a wing helps. Once transition to forward flight has been made, power requirements are much lower. So the range becomes useful. And there's at least the potential to glide to a controlled crash on power failure.

There's been a lot of interest lately in VTOLs that take off on electric power and then use a wing and pusher prop for cruise. There are even drones like that, with ranges of hundreds of miles. This is much simpler mechanically than tilting wing concepts, which are mechanical nightmares. Look up how the Osprey's power train works.

It's also nice seeing those props above head height, rather than down at ankle and head level like the eHang.

This has potential.

> Worrying that kids may not be able to get into a decent school because they're not diverse enough seems like a a nice problem to have--parents of "diverse" children have much larger worries.

It only seems that way to you if you can't empathize with others. The OP makes a valid point. Any group that is caught in the crosshairs of discrimination will naturally be worried for their kids. It's not a "nice problem to have", as you put it, regardless of the group being targetted.

> Wouldn't that mean that based on the equality of outcomes, it doesn't matter what type of school OP's kids go to, and therefore no reason to worry.

Equality of outcomes? It's just a fact that some people excel at work/school (for various reasons) or that some people receive different pay (again, for various reasons). The point is that we shouldn't discriminate against things like sex, gender, and skin colour. That means I don't consider gender when I hire... but I also don't consider it when I fire, either.

The efficiency of pumped hydro storage depends heavily on the height difference involved. There's not that many suitable sites, most have been developed already. It's not a technology that scales down well other than vanity projects.

Rooftop cisterns are very common globally, usually places where the water utility if it exists is unreliable. A huge number of humans get their water from a truck that comes by weekly or such to fill the cistern.

In more high income nations, this isn't necessary because the utility does the same thing at a larger scale with one or more large water towers interconnected.

Someone I know built an off grid air bnb on the beach in Mexico using Earth Ship concepts. I helped out with one of the buildings a little bit, doing the earth bag construction. The passive temperature regulation of those nice thick walls is impressive. He uses well water, and solves the water pressure problem by having a pump that sends it up hill to a pair of cisterns, for hot and cold water respectively. The hot one is the big black plastic ones you see on rooftops everywhere in Mexico. The cold one is made of reused plastic soda bottles and concrete underground. They both are surprisingly effective at what they do. The hot water is frankly way to hot to use without a mixer.

It'd be entirely pointless to use it as energy storage though. The pressure just isn't that high, and the total volume of water involved in the system isn't sufficient. He uses a battery array to buffer his solar.

As cool as all that is, you couldn't build an entire city that way. It's just not dense enough, and again ends up being mostly a vanity or tourist thing.
It's not really just about (UI/UX) design, to be fair, being able to open in a new tab requires that it's a directly navigable 'page' by URL to begin with. With SPAs, that's often not true for entire 'pages', never mind modals and views you might not be expected to want in a new tab but do.
It is an interesting experiment, but

> So if there’s no systemic bias, why are women performing worse?

is a pretty wild leap. For example there could still a tendency for men to be over-confident, and a bias toward over-confident interviewees.

That's a function of brand derived from leadership.
Past performance is a reasonable indicator in a lot of situations. I've had this discussion in the context of conference submittals. While there are lots of reasons to be inclusive of new presenters, the reality is that I also want to be aware as a conference committee member of applicants who have been very popular in the past.
But a lot of times they have a useful routing library (even if by accident) that updates the URL, so opening a new tab with the update URL actually does something useful, but it's not a link so I can't do that.
huh, wait is this not supposed to be confidential?

From what I hear, in many fields the "peers" are better thought of as "rivals".
The Twitter thread devolves into various random citations of "wokeism", and that's all fine and well for those who care to argue such examples on Twitter.

But even aside from the culture war quagmire, the first few tweets in the thread are fascinating. Wikipedia is up to 400+ employees now? It's spending grew from $10 million in 2010, to $112 million in 2020? The actual website costs are only $2-3 million per year, and have declined over the past decade?

WOW. It's amazing how entities grow until they become more about themselves than the mission. I don't care about all of the specific grants that the author wants to Twitter-litigate. I'm just done donating money to Wikipedia because 2 cents on the dollar actually going toward the mission is absurd.

I wanted to point you at this, which is example zero for why rewriting in "memory safe language number X" isn't always the best path: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33171028

I'm definitely not debating that using better languages is better, but what I am saying is that some tools written in C have been effectively tested in the real-world by being on billions of machines and being used millions of times per day. I am not totally sure, but I think if there were major issues with the current NTP implementations we would probably have found them by now? Maybe not! But, in any case, rewrites need to be more carefully considered, planned, and executed than just some people I don't know writing a new NTP in Rust and stating it's fine to use for 80% of cases.

Thanks for having a nice discussion with me, I think I am a bit more convinced that we need to rewrite some stuff, but perhaps also more convinced that we need to do a better job of picking what to rewrite and why!
You have a fantastic imagination.

They do exist... the fact that they are not biological does not mean they do not exist. They have a social-historical reality. They exist in the minds of people making decisions, overtly or not. Trying to become conscious of that and counter it, and (of course imperfectly) correct for some past wrongs due to it, is what this is about.
For me, one of the biggest motivations in writing komorebi was that I wanted to separate the window management from the key binding and shortcuts using a message-passing architecture similar to bspwm and yabai.

By exposing all of the functionality (aka socket messages) via a cli (komorebic), I can use whatever I want to handle my shortcuts, which in turn makes it easy to configure my shortcuts to whatever I want. An added bonus is that exposing the functionality via the cli means that I can compose multiple commands to run sequentially with a single key bind.
