You're assuming that these pages are all for "sub-notable" women, which is flat-out wrong. The ones that don't meet notability standards get deleted (as the article describes), just as happens with "sub-notable" men who people try to create pages for. Jessica Wade is simply filling in the gaps. Nobody is lowering the bar for women.

And even if that were the case, nobody is randomly browsing thousands of Wikipedia researcher pages where they could even make a judgment like that. It's an entirely fantastical concern.
Yes, I was thinking to this when I've read the OP. I have source code I wrote in the 90's that was displaying text boxes with the border on the actual border of the characters, without any color bleeding. But I was just using the normal mode (256 characters, just redefining some in the upper 128 block). On VGA, by default only characters in a specific range can be used for horizontal line drawing, as these are the ones that get the 9th bit extended...

I've actually reused this code a few months ago for a prank (UEFI network booted Linux containing DosBox running fullscreen in the framebuffer, to display a fake OS installer).
> Wikipedia these days" and they mentioned that their teachers are actively dropping Wikipedia as an information source for being too unreliable.

The original stance from teachers back in the 00s when Wikipedia was new was "Never cite wikipedia". If the message is now "No longer cite wikipedia", does that mean there was a period between then and now in which teachers thought highly of wikipedia?

How about some specific domain that interests you? Graphics, ML, GIS, data science, devops, firmware, crypto, integrated circuits, whatever?

Or learn more about a specific industry that interests you? Film, games, energy, natural resources, healthcare, accounting, finance, whatever?

Software is your pencil, and you might have great penmanship, but there's still infinite topics to create stories around.
Don't speak for a whole country. There are people that are proud of this heritage, like me, and many more, especially in the places where Moorish culture had a stronghold (e.g. Andalusia, C. Valenciana, Murcia, etc.)
Im in your shoes.

I don’t see any exit except building my own company one day which will work by my rules and where people like you are welcome to earn as much money as the contribution they make irrelevant of titles and frequency of meetings in their calendars. And treated like people and professionals, not like cattle contributing to statistics and KPIs.

There’s is just no corporate ladder called “improving performance and produced software quality” these days - you either senior, or you grow to managing people and bureaucracy one way or another.

And from a company’s perspective all seniors are more or less the same, like cows of the same age in the farm.

This is not your problem, this is the status quo faang cargo cult problem.
Being Arrogantly Ignorant
> However, Palmer's view on quantum systems does seem to be pretty set and fairly ideological in nature (i.e. experimental verification doesn't seem to be much of a concern).

I don't understand this objection. Palmer's theory would have to be consistent with all existing evidence for quantum mechanics. There's a rich unexplored area in quantum foundations (superdeterminism), and he's found a novel, plausible model for how it could work, so why wouldn't he explore it fully until it's been contradicted?

A different interpretation on QM might also imply some new experiments that orthodox QM wouldn't consider interesting. For instance, Hossenfelder has suggested that there might be some unusual regularities in repeated low temperature experiments if superdeterminism is true, regularities that would be implausible if reality is actually indeterministic. Palmer's theory has testable predictions for large-scale cosmology, so it's not like his ideas are unfalsifiable in principle.

Furthermore, Palmer is a theoretician not an experimentalist. Bell created his theorem but experimentalists designed and ran the actual experiment.

Like all drivers I also hate other drivers, but "actual intelligence and reasoning" means "I can tell that person is gonna try and cross the street" or "I can tell that's a picture of a bicycle instead of an actual bicycle". This stuff is hard just by vision alone--humans use a lot of context to reach these conclusions (bicycles don't float, they don't hang out on the side of advertising boards, they aren't 30 ft. tall) that computer vision machines don't have.

Those were called charge cards [0]. When I was younger I didn't know the difference and thought everything was a credit card. Imagine my surprise when I bought my university books on my AMEX charge card and got a bill for the full amount due in 30 days. It was a terrifying lesson. They also had low or no credit score limits so a bunch of college friend were surprised when we applied and got a card just being 18, no income, and no credit history.

If you spend $100 on r&d, you've gotten $100 in r&d.

You spend $100 on convincing people that they need to spend money on r&d, you're $100 can contribute far more than $100 to overall movement towards an end to climate change.

Is this what is going to happen with that money? I don't know. However, it's possible that this is still a good move even though it isn't going directly to research.
Microsoft get schtick from people who know what they are talking about not because of their previous monopoly-abusing, security-insensitive ways, but because of their _current_ privacy-invading, data-harvesting, lowest-common-denominator-accepting approaches to everything. No amount of contributions to other projects is going to overcome that, nor should it, since it is possible to do some things well and others poorly.

The (awful) analogy certainly doesn't even hold: my late-2009 BMW is still going strong without a hint of anything beyond routine maintenance, yet according to this screed it should be crap...
I chose Google's mesh routers because I have more trust in their security than any competitor. I would feel pretty safe with PFSense, but my needs are way too simple to bother with that.

I know a lot of techies opt for prosumer, small business gear for their home networks, but most of those vendors have crap security trackrecords. Ubiquiti, seems to be the sole standout in this space, but I don't trust them any more than google to produce secure hardware.
Because people care about their grandchildren/future family? I honestly can't understand this question. You can see it around you everywhere. Wealthy families even ensure that generations down the line will have some wealth. People give heaps of money to charity to help other people they will never know. People just care about other people even if they don't necessarily know them directly.

> Not sure about "Moorish".

IMHO this is one of the few reasonable uses of this term (which has otherwise acquired a negative connotation). The Muslims who colonized Iberia were referred to as Moors because of their Maghreb origin (cf old Mauritania), which itself is the other, technical, use of the term.

And given that it’s the BBC I’d give them a pass for correct usage, even if it’s likely few in the audience will get it, with many instead enjoying the derogatory implication.

I find myself wondering what a truly high performance WebSocket server would look like, and if it would require loading a custom kernel module. Consider the worst-case, 1-msg-in N-msg-out for N "connections" (aka fan-out ratio). My understanding is that at the physical level subnets time slice a shared, serialized medium. The units there are a network frame (either wifi or ethernet). These frames are organized into IP and then TCP and finally give your process a "connection" from which data comes and into which data goes. WebSockets, to me, simply make the TCP socket abstraction accessible to browsers, with some extra setup cost but no runtime cost.

To be honest, ordinary "naive" programming methods are good enough to run a sizable single node WebSocket server. I'd be curious how much performance you can get out of a single server or, perhaps more broadly useful, a single core in a single Linux VPS, using different languages and relatively esoteric techniques like this.
What about some kind of shovel or air blower to remove the leaves before they compress.

I don't deny it's an issue. But it happens every year. It's like having trains that can't run when it rains.
Censorship anywhere is bad. Especially when it is purely for political reasons.

Most European nations have very strict Holocaust denial laws. And as much as I personally think people who deny the Holocaust happened are idiots, that's clearly "thoughtcrime" type of censorship. What someone thinks or believes about history is none of the government's (or anyone else's) business.

I agree. The title should say "permanent damage to current species"

Of course, in 70 years, even if we fix climate change, we will be dead anyway.
I can totally see this being true. I know YouTube and Twitch are kings when it comes weird enforcement of rules. I don't see why Wikipedia would be immune from it... but I don't know enough about the community to say for sure, only that this particular case looks pretty reasonable.
That's like saying "money only stimulates consumption and causes pollution".

Technically it is true, but good luck on your crusade of abolishing money.
It seems to me that his beef is not with the WSJ because he was aware of the possible consequences regarding the potential conflict of interest.

WSJ is entitled to fire someone if they have verifiable evidence supporting that decision. If the evidence was illegally obtained....well, it would be an trial admissibility issue, but that wouldn't apply to a work/employment matter.
I mostly just love the idea of Linux kernel development slowing down or halting because Linus got a bad stick of RAM and doesn't like working on his laptop.
I'm confused, I've built a couple of computers and I've never had issues with the power supply. The only weird issue I've had so far was with a first generation ryzen processor causing hard locks on the computer when it was left on for more than a couple of days.

Also with some bad memory causing really really weird issues all across the system.

Power supplies? And some of the cheap ones I've used have just done their job and not caused any problems.

Do you have any examples of what's going on with this?
I had a similar issue at the beginning of the year; some g. skill ddr4-3200 (with xmp) started bit-flipping on me and causing crashes.

Sure enough on memtest64 those issues were clearly diagnosed.

Haven't changed to ECC hardware, disabling xmp to ddr4-2333 helped with stability.
I feel like their attempt to be taxable is contrary to the traditional reasons for using a digital currency. Even then, I would be surprised if a government uses taler rather than their own implementation. Always wanted to talk to the gnu people about this.
I disagree completely.

I can get original research anywhere on the internet.

Wikipedia is valuable precisely because I know it's a tertiary source that tries to cite only secondary sources and not primary ones. I want it to be an encyclopedia that separates the wheat from the chaff, that represents some level of consensus academic thought and cultural/historical notability. I don't want it to be the entire internet.

And important isn't really that subjective -- the notability guidelines are extremely extensive with lots of examples for each type of person (researcher, actor, etc.). Sure there will always be edge cases, but the guidelines really are quite thorough.
What grew me the most as a programmer was doing the Advent of Code challenge every year using a different language each year (and doing 1 year with 3 languages each day). Learned so many new algorithms and languages I never would’ve otherwise encountered. Side note, Advent of Code 2022 starts December 1!

Agreed! I was also reminded how Apple's marketing has been so good for nearly 40 years - if you look at other tech ads from the early 80s, they're nearly always overloaded with tech jargon and don't nearly speak as well to the "what can I create with this?" question that Apple does.

Also, though, it's always interesting to reflect on the ways society has changed. I am 100% sure no copy editor would allow "Goo Goo Gai Pan" to be the name of their fake baby food today, nor lines like "Yuppie generation now breeding like bunnies."
This sounds like price fixing as a service, but I wonder if the law is prepared to handle it. The FTC guidance on price fixing[1] only discusses "agreement among competitors", and never mentions each party outsourcing pricing to the same service.

If the competitors never meet or agree on anything, is it still illegal?

How many people are actually searching for and reading these bios? Is this effort at all useful?
> Any state where no particles are in the viscinity of the thermometer is a low probability. All microstates that encompass this property occupy at the 0 temperature macrostate.

Ok. I'm glad to read that we finally agree that in your example -using the macrostate you defined- the entropy of the "particles near a corner" state is not different from the entropy of any other "particles not near the thermometer" state.

Right after you said "Temperature as measured by a thermometer is the macrostate. Every possible configuration of particles (microstates) that causes mercury to rise to a certain degree represents a different macrostate." - I asked "How does your configuration where the balls where near one corner in the cube causes mercury to rise to a different level than the configuration where they occupy a larger volume near the center?"

You could have answered "it doesn't - that's the same macrostate with the same temperature and the same entropy" back then.

Later I pointed out that "Reducing the space occupied by the initial configuration [doesn't change] the temperature - which you say is 0 in all those cases - or the macrostate - which you call absolute zero macrostate in all those cases. The entropy would be the same whenever the particules are more concentrated than in your example - even though they would have lower probability of ocurrence. Don't you agree?"

Instead of answering "I don't agree. Entropy is lower when the current macrostate has a low probability of occuring." you could have said "I agree. I describe the temperature as zero in all those cases, it's the same macrostate and the entropy will be the same."

Better late than never, anyway.

> the word temperature is poorly defined when applied to a box.

I agree! You're the one who picked the reading of that thermometer as the thing that would determine the macrostate and the entropy - and maintained that higher concentrations would mean different thermometer readings and lower entropy.

> If you are in agreement with me that entropy is independent of knowledge then we're good; because as far as I was concerned this was the point you were trying to make.

If we agree that the entropy is not a physical property of (the microstate of) the system but a property of a particular (thermodynamical) description of the system - and that different descriptions of the same physical system are possible resulting in different entropies - we're good. That's the clarification I wanted to make.
Also because articles about people are inherently more sensitive than other topics. An article about a town that doesn't actually exist or a garage band that's never played a show is merely an annoyance; an article about a real person that makes false claims about them is a defamation lawsuit in the making. To protect the site from this, Wikipedia has stricter policies for articles about living people than most other topics:

This has nothing to do with politics, it's market segmentations and it's the job of MBA's and business leaders to do it coreectly.

The current situation demonstrates that the customer has no ability to negotiate product quality.

It's debatable if that's due to ignorance or the game is just so syacked against consumers

Yes. It should have been the default all along, but Intel has been using a strategy of market segmentation for many decades. This has made ECC rare in home computers (even in servers it isn’t ubiquitous), and more expensive than it needs to be. You have to pay extra for the CPU that supports it (even if the Xeon chip you buy is otherwise identical to the i7 you could have bought). The motherboard costs extra too, naturally. The memory itself has to have a ninth memory chip on it so you expect it to cost a little more, but usually it costs a lot more and isn’t made to the same specs. You end up with the sad choice of overclocked ram or safe ram in your gaming machine, and most people go with fast.
How much more for how much better?

Anyway, try to take the technical specification of any consumer oriented motherboard and discover if it allows ECC.
Thalidomide is a very useful drug that is still prescribed today.
tl:dr; The amount a Jury awards in damages is not actually what the loser pays.

Juries can award w/e they want but the judge still has discretion in reducing the damages (ex. one of McDonalds hot coffee incidents [1]).

Not a foreman, but I believe juries don't get instructed as to what the maximum amount they can legally award is and so the judge to then reduce it. (ex. Depp vs Heard [2])

It's amusing/saddening that significant numbers of commenters assume launch == promotion at Google today. The vast majority of promotions at Google are for impact on engineering efforts that never reach the public's attention.

Boring, no-comment-worthy stuff like "cut CPU usage by 10% in the service", or "reduced out XX of support toil", or "reduced attack surface of YY by ZZ".

"Launched product AA" is pretty rare as a promo argument.
That's a heap of qualifiers.

> Will I/my articles get negativity within dev and tech communities because they are written in Medium?

I don't think the author or their writing will get any ire for being hosted on Medium. The negativity is purely towards Medium itself. However I probably won't read your article if it's on Medium unless it's in the #1 spot on HN.
I like this metaphor too. A personal space for blogging and small projects gives me more long term satisfaction than my day job. (It has more longevity too.)

My projects can be polished or rough, technically boring or complex, and have as little or significant purpose as I want.

They won’t be cancelled by changing business needs, rushed by deadlines, and corrupted by politics.
I was hesitant as to how much I should go into this because you get into the semantics of the benchmark but this [0] thread goes into why - that particular implementation doesn't behave the same way as the other implementations, it uses a different db driver that doesn't synchronise, which won't be allowed in the next version of the benchmarks. Techempower publish regular snapshots of their benchmarks at [1], and if you look at any of the snapshots that aren't the last published set where the discrepancy was fixed you'll see that all of the js implementations lag far far behind.

Any plans to add scrolling functionality to shortcat? I'd be able to move over completely from vimac if that gets added.
I would frame it as a 1-year project with 3-month chunks

Some sub priorities

- add as much automated testing and pre-running as possible. Use a tool like GhostInspector to add E2E tests quickly

- definitely upgrade in steps, 14 to 16. Try updating to 14 now and see what breaks. Then make a list of libraries or modules to refactor. Dont worry about 18 yet.

- In my organization node-sass has been a blocker for upgrades, along with fsevents. Try to rip those out completely if you can

- If there's any small parts of the app that can be broken out into its own service, now's a good time to try that. Often those smaller parts can run on Node 16 easily

- Good time to implement Prettier and Eslint.

Big thing is you're introducing a "platform" initiative into the organization, get everybody in the mindset of small improvements and upgrades done often. Maintenance should be everybody's job
Ask HN: Which books are still relevant for beginning programmers in 2022?
Async in Python is a huge deal as it is in any language, yes. For very real reasons (cutting down on incredible amounts of confusing boilerplate) to very lame reasons (it's been memed into developer consciousness enough that it becomes a primary yes/no gate for development teams).
Or the observed correlations are caused by the measurement?
