HP's EVA Device did that too, so sometimes a Engineer calls you and ask's if "we" have time to update the firmware, not even HP engineers are allowed to do EVA updates...just specialized EVA ones.
The census is a set of forms. It isn't like there's someone in front of you trying to guess your age, gender etc. What "self-identify" means here is that you're allowed to pick whatever you want regardless of biological truth, whereas normally lying on a census can result in a fine.

What if you made an investment based on not seeing any books, there not being any reliable guide as to the company's liabilities, seen or unseen, and not being aware of any regulation or oversight preventing fraud and/or blowing up? But you had a good feeling about the company's hype and the CEO seemed like a nice young man with main character energy?

If the company turns out to be a fraud and the investment worthless, are you still entitled to say "nobody could have known" and "only 1 in 10 has to be a winner"?
Yup.. Somewhere within the US network specifically, someone seems to be literally refusing connections to the site once again.

This is the internet being literally broken.. No hypothetical or slippery slope arguments, but actual direct breaking of the net.

Indeed. NN is now even more important than ever and we can't let any attempts at it to leave out this kind of thing in favor or more specific "extra service" ($$$) type issues like so many would clearly want today.
I think axios.com has a wonderful format for "knowing more or less what's happening" but not incentivizing to spend hours on it. US-centric unfortunately.

One person teams are only best when it comes to coordination overhead. they have obvious deficiencies in terms of "bus factor". If the one person in the team leaves the company, gets ill, dies or takes a vacation, work will have to be transferred to someone else (in which case the coordination overhead returns) or the work has to stop (which is not always feasible).

A lot of the inefficiencies of bigger companies come from the redundant people needed to fill out the bus factor. Having a DBA on hand for emergencies might be overkill for a startup, but when you have revenue of 100 million per day depending on the database always being up it is much cheaper to have a spare person sitting around (even if they're not doing much most of the time).
I know. There are some great news articles out there, but those are things I find when I do my deep-dive. And I'd say despite these sources, the vast majority of news out there is still clickbait. I prefer not to be bound to a single or handful of sources, because of how easy it is to get stuck in bubbles.
Yeah, but it's still in the works, right? Gambatte, Lina-san!!
The ironic thing about DEI is that these programs are run by white people who will flip out if you express aspects of your culture that white people don’t find acceptable. I’m a well-assimilated foreigner who doesn’t even have many “problematic” world-views universally accepted in my country, but I still have to bite my tongue when talking about a range of issues, like individual self expression (tattoos, etc.—for some reason white people love that shit.) Just the concept of sitting around talking about our differences is distressing to me as an Asian. My natural inclination would be to talk about the ways in which we are the same to increase social harmony.
Can you recommend some informative journalistic sources that don't reduce their headlines to clickbait?
The goal of this part of the guidelines is not about invalidating anything in the body or content of mathematics, but rather adding inclusiveness to the teaching of mathematics. I can appreciate the idea that this could broaden the reach and appeal of mathematics education. I can well imagine that a student with an ethnic minority background is put off from taking a course that appears to have been developed and passed down from people who look a lot like (and in some cases were) the people that oppressed his own family. Reacting by dismissing this feeling and saying "you shouldn't care about that, maths is just cold logic and rationality" will only put them off further. But showing sensitivity to the context and saying "we acknowledge that some of the figures in the history of this subject are problematic, nevertheless the knowledge they discovered is useful" may make them reconsider.

Will it actually work out that way? I don't know for sure, but I don't dismiss it as quickly as many people here seem to.

if walking hurts your back then you probably need to lose belly fat. Even though I am thin (6'4", 190 pounds) I have found that with an ideal diet (mostly red meat) and some moderate exercise I can lose 10 pounds of belly fat and my back pain drops off a cliff. If I get down to 170 pounds then I have almost no back pain. At 160 pounds I feel like an elevated being.

My relatively amateur take is that the REPL and the debugging experience seem powerful. I would like to know how they compete with other languages.

The REPL is the center of everything and it enables you to change functions on a running program. Tracing a function (shows function arguments on every call) is a simple as calling trace(function-name).
If a program crashes, it does not really crash... it enters some debug mode which offers possible resolutions, including change the function that failed.
The REPL can trivially show you the assembly code of individual functions. You can also add declarations for each function with hints for the compiler (and then check the size of the resulting assembly).

I believe this series of articles highlights some of the debugging features.

https://malisper.me/debugging-lisp-part-1-recompilation/

There is also a story called "debugging code from 60 million miles away".

Other things that I did not manage to explore yet are the macros, which allows you to create your own domain specific languages.

My general impression so far is that it is a really powerful language, for lonely hackers. :)
Subsea cables usually have 4 or so fibers, since they need repeaters every so many km, which drives the cost-per-fiber (the actual strand of glass is approximately free for all practical purposes).
This feels a little like "the cathedral and the bazaar" in the sense that it's either controlled by a small group or allowed to fragment and grow organically in a less structured, organised-chaos model.

There are pros and cons either way, but finally it seems that we have a choice. The Fediverse is here and will remain, and seems to have enough gatekeeping to limit federation of unwanted/spammy/malicious servers. Centralised forms of social media will continue to exist but this new landscape will change how they work and will change the content created and shared.
I'd second mint for anyone who wants a "it just werks (TM)" experience with minimal configuration to throw on anything except a server.

For servers, these days I'd recommend Alpine on ARM architecture for a very good mix of high performance and having sane defaults set up so you can easily set up a reverse proxy, web server, etc.

>The framework recommends eight times that teachers use a troubling document, “A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction: Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction.” This manual claims that teachers addressing students’ mistakes forthrightly is a form of white supremacy. It sets forth indicators of “white supremacy culture in the mathematics classroom,” including a focus on “getting the right answer,” teaching math in a “linear fashion,” requiring students to “show their work” and grading them on demonstrated knowledge of the subject matter. “The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequivocally false,” the manual explains. “Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuates ‘objectivity.’ ” Apparently, that’s also racist.
I'm interested in this as well. I don't have a personal M* MacBook to test it myself(Writing this on a M1 Pro MacBook Pro provided by work, but I'm obviously not trying to boot Asahi Linux on a work machine). I'm thinking about getting a laptop for personal use, and I'd love for a M1 machine if it runs Linux decently. 1. It needs to be able to sleep/resume like a Mac (shut the lid, and it goes to sleep without sucking the battery, and open the lid, it should wake up within a second or two allowing me to continue what I was doing before sleep), and 2. Needs to last at least 8 hours on battery. The Mac lasts more than 14 hours for my use (very light). Wifi needs to work reliably.

I don't care if the GPU lays there unused, I don't care if bluetooth doesn't work.

I hope Asahi Linux gets there someday soon.

Currently it’s convenient for me to listen to NPR Radio in the morning with breakfast—make sure California has not fallen into the Pacific due to earthquake, no one has nuked anyone, aliens haven’t landed, etc.

If I’m feeling particularly chipper I can always listen to BBC America.

Afterwards, various podcasts and aggregation sites will put me into my silo.

I got to use one, and my impression was that it an expensive, impractical, heavy, underpowered machine with a low contrast lcd that made the cursor difficult to see when it was in motion. It was also cool, futuristic, like nothing I’d seen before. It was a novelty, people crowded around it.

The Spectator isn't even remotely close to far right, unless you're going to describe the Guardian and BBC as far left. It's a standard mainstream newspaper in the UK that's been around for a very long time.

I recall a time when "far right" was used to describe Nazis. This sort of wolf crying has rendered the term meaningless just like the word Nazi itself, racism, sexism, etc. It doesn't work anymore, people see through it.

Absorbency is bad because it causes overheating and IR astronomy pollution. Diffusion is bad because it reflects light toward Earth.

Specular surfaces (mirrors) can reflect light entirely into space and away from observers on the ground.

The EU, in their misguided attempts to regulate everything, invented the NIS and NIS2 directives where the government can interfere in a company's security practices and tell it how to run its business. This is complete and utter non-sense.

The sensible approach to so called critical infrastructure would be to just make a company provide free service for a number of days for every hour/day of downtime for preventable errors. Like say the power went out for an hour, you get 100kW of free electricity. You didn't have natural gas for 1 hour, you get 100cm of gas for free. And I find this approach better than having some random person from a government agency with a clipboard and a checklist fining you because you don't have antivirus on your phone or some other stupid thing like this.

If there's a sophisticated cyber attack, then the utilities get to walk away scot-free. Just like the insurance company waives all liabilities in case of unforeseen circumstances like war & stuff.
I'm not actually sure that particular move is criminal. Morally reprehensible, most certainly, but my understanding was that, since crypto isn't regulated like a security by the SEC or anyone else, you are free to pump&dump all you want without having to fear legal consequences.
Consider Kant's Categorical Imperative.[0] There's an argument to be made that the CI isn't quite perfectly "objective." But then again, it might be as close to such a thing as ethics can get.

A summary of the CI, for those unfamiliar with Kant:

Suppose you'd like to do something. Could you wish that everyone everywhere all the time behaved that way? That is, consider the hypothetical world where everyone everywhere did that thing as often as they wanted, and see whether you like the outcome (or, would prefer that hypothetical world to the one where no one anywhere ever did that thing).

If the world associated with the action you're considering is undesirable from a rational standpoint, then it's literally insane and a wholly despicable thing for you to do it. This is because, if you do it yourself while wishing no one else to do so, then you are considering your own self (or your own family or your own tribe) to be an exception to your own rational assessment of that behavior if everyone else were to do it. There is no rational basis for considering yourself such an exception just because you are yourself. So, don't do that thing.

Kant goes to extreme lengths to show that the Categorical Imperative is not just a nice idea that he dreamed up, but is rather an intrinsic entailment of rationality itself.

So, murder is objectively wrong because the idea of everyone, everywhere, in every time doing it would result in a horrible world that no rational person would prefer to the alternative where no one anywhere ever committed murder. Same with slavery and genocide. They're evil because if everyone everywhere did it, the resulting world would, if examined rationally, be worse than the world where no one anywhere ever did them.

For those in the US considering purchasing the manufacturer warranty coverage (“bumper to bumper”), you can often purchase the same coverage from a different dealer from the one selling the car (whoever offers the best price).

Just call a dealers finance department and find out if they sell standalone warranty and get a quote (you may need to provide a sample VIN). Make sure they are quoting the official manufacturer warranty coverage (new car) vs some BS third party warranty.

If you do this in advance you can fight off the finance guy easily and (more often) get them to price match to keep your business. This method has saved me thousands.
The problem is not with industry insiders leaving private enterprise to go work for the government, the problem is government regulators leaving the government to collect large paychecks from the companies they used to be tasked with regulating, i.e. that there is the appearance of personal benefits to regulate to the benefits of future employers rather then the general public.

What's actually needed is government agencies staffed with industry insiders who knows that they will never ever work in the industry again and have nothing to loose from putting the general public first, but this is kind of hard to do when government work is not seen as something of particularly high status, where people go for self realization after a success career in the private sector.

It's funny how every single conversation about this stuff spends most of its time debating whether its really happening and almost no time on the actual content of the ideology being pushed.
Jim Collins talked about this once:

> You were talking about the values. And one of the things that is interesting, because I’m a very audio person, as we mentioned earlier as you and I were chatting, I was listening to Dare to Lead while I was driving and looking at Haystack Mountain here in North Boulder. One of the reasons I like audio books is because I like to be able to connect ideas to physically where I was when I heard that idea, which is how I remember them. So I will always associate these select two values with looking at Haystack Mountain on a beautiful December afternoon.

What if a student wants to learn mathematics, but feels alienated because so many of the results are named after stale old white men, some of whom oppressed their own ancestors, and no one seems to acknowledge this? I'm not saying we should rename the results, but showing a modicum of awareness and sensitivity can do wonders for bolstering students' confidence.
Having moved from Australia to New Zealand, I’d say the opposite.

There’s nothing here that can kill you.

No bushfires. No snakes. Very few sharks. Spiders are rare, and white tails don’t kill. It doesn’t get hot enough to kill you. There’s water everywhere, but it doesn’t seem to flood.

I’m assuming your rising river was on the South Island. Definitely plenty of opportunities to get yourself in trouble down there, but you’d have to go well out of your way.

It was unclear to me if they could claw funds in the USA way back when I looked. But I setup a small balance account and switched to it because I'd heard way back paypal managed to get people's bank accounts frozen for months in a dispute and if that was the same account you paid your bills out of you were in for a major hassle to you life. Which probably extorted a lot of people to give in.
If you're a politically inclined person you'll want to know what your government is doing so that, for example, you can organise against it when what it is doing is terrible. You will also likely want to know about changes to laws, new government programmes, technological advances, books, essays, art, etc. etc. etc.

White people invent genocide? Reject it. Black people invent ghetto culture? Reject it.

I’ve always had a hard time taking the accuracy of personality tests seriously. I think the mood you’re in at the time of the test greatly influences not only how you read the test but how you respond as well. I also tend to lean on the side of personality not being permanent. I see you touched on that in the article but I’m curious as to your thoughts on whether personality changes or stays the same during the course of a persons life.
