Oh but they will.

Words like whitelist and blacklist have been banned by woke theater fiat at the bigco I work at, although I have seen no evidence they actually have anything to do with racism. I suspect our banned words list has a lot of overlap with Stanford's.

Rabblerousers like to rabblerouse, and nobody wants to be the voice of reason when the people who decide your paycheck make stupid political decisions.
I know of one startup that failed due to a bill not being forgiven after they were attacked. There is no guaranteed safety net with cloud costs. This is why it'd be good if you could put a hard limit on your account usage.
Isaac Hayes had a lot of 12-14 minute long epics. The rise and fall of the key change between the 70’s until the end of the 80’s could be blamed for songs being “longer” during that period as well.
If Ring has per-user salts, which I assume they do, they'll have to hash each breached password individually for each Ring user. So multiply the number of breached passwords by the number of Ring users by the time a hash takes (slower is better) and you get a huge amount of CPU cost.
Abbreviating ’MILLION’ is hard.

> In this scenario, the whole database is a single CRDT.

But why? These ideas are elegant but usually not practical. Performance usually ends up forcing us back to ole faithful (mutability).
It's a fun enough game that I think I might have run out of content! I've got the second table, second stone, and I've had my second tarot reading, but the bartender seems out of things to sell other than beer, and I can't get a new tarot reading (or cancel the active one).

Is there more to the game at this point? It's hard to tell; there's nothing encouraging me to think so, and while the core mechanic isn't bad it needs more of a loop around it than I'm finding evident right now.
> Make it easy for the compiler to inline memcpy, so the compiler gets a chance to propagate the information it has about the parameters

I have low hopes for compilers. Inlining heuristics are terribly complicated, and optimisations that result therefrom will only be things that the compiler can prove for _all_ invocations. Inlining won't get you 'this call site is usually large', or 'this call site is small, but predictable', or 'this call site is really unpredictable, so use weird branchfree tricks'. (A JIT compiler might do better, but people do not usually JIT c or c++.)

> Replacing the glibc memcmp with something trivial resulted in up to 1% speedup in Google web search, when considering the whole program. It doesn't microbenchmark as well as glibc memcmp, but it is a better function that doesn't wreck the performance of the rest of the system

It's not all or nothing, and rep cmps is utter trash. My memcmp, for instance, I was careful to keep below 4 cache lines (or 3, considering only the version that doesn't overread)—<https://github.com/moon-chilled/fancy-memcmp/blob/master/mem...>—and it actually has reasonable throughput.

(Also: inlining is not the way to go if you are frontend-bound...)
The article is about refugees, but the situation’s still bad even for EU citizens: Germany has proven that it can integrate software developers, engineers and some unqualified workers in the job market. But if it magically got the missing workers it’s complaining about it wouldn’t know what to do with them!

I’ve watched over many years a spouse-of-IT-worker phenomenon in my circle of acquaintances where most partners had to requalify (even with EU diplomas), settle for less or become stay at home parents while those partners which were connected to IT inevitably got jobs and were able to get promotions.

This suggests that there’s no easy solution for Germany or the EU even if migration is encouraged (which brings its own set of well-known problems).
Nah, the public can still read everything on there. Just not participate, unless someone already in the community deems them trustworthy.

It is hard to choose which of these is silliest, but my vote goes to the replacement of "he" with [name] or "they", until you know the person's preferred pronouns. [1]

The vast, vast majority of people who present as male wish to be referred to as "he". Many of them would be offended or confused if you used "they" as a term of reference. Many listeners would also be confused if you referred to a person who appears to be a typical male as a "they".

If 99% of men go by "he", why should we use "they" as a term of reference by default? This is the tail wagging the dog, to say the least.

1: the list also says we are not to refer to "preferred pronouns" anymore. They are just "pronouns" now.
I consider myself deeply liberal. I try to "police my language." I agree with the underlying premise of the article, that language encodes implicit power structures and it is a worthy endeavor to not implicitly "dominate" or denigrate those around you.

When I was younger I used the word retard disparagingly, and someone who was the father of someone who was suffered from a disability was visibly hurt. The world doesn't need that.

I agree with the reasoning behind capitalizing the b in Black but not the w in White when referring to people.

But holy cow, this article is nuts. There is some serious group think going on in these academic groups, and despite a desire to do the right thing, this article is going to have the opposite effect. The fact this was published shows a serious lack of critical review, a lack of academic rigor, and an extreme rejection of pragmatism in the face of idealism which is exactly how liberalism fails.
Rather than the purchase of a “one year older version” I think of Jetbrains as the following (if paying annually) …

Purchase and own the latest version of the product. Get to use (not own) new features and updates for the next year. At the end of the year, optionally repeat the above, albeit at a price discount.

Your paying for the product each year and cleverly incentivized to do so.

I also did some astronomical calculations and display for a hard science fiction book. In my case the book was "Project Hail Mary". I used Python, pandas, numpy, and matplotlib; I also converted all distances to light-years.
See:
"Project Hail Mary Stellar Map" at:
https://dwheeler.com/essays/project-hail-mary-map.html

I also showed where these positions are on the board of the game "StarForce: Alpha Centauri". This game uses a map based on the real world positions of stars. See:
"Project Hail Mary and StarForce: Alpha Centauri"
https://dwheeler.com/essays/project-hail-mary-starforce.html

Code and data are posted as well.

It's my hope that doing these kinds of this will increase interest in both science and hard science fiction. I think those interests should be in a self-reinforcing loop.

It’s better than Surrendering to lies
But it’s not “money rules everything.” Americans spend tremendous amounts of public money on, for example, extending the life of old people a few months. American social security is quite generous compared to other countries.

Instead in Americans are extremely rigid about rules and norms. You never just “not worry” about “legal liability.” It’s a country where criminals can sue you if they injure themselves robbing your house. For the most part, this is a good thing. Americans will also never ask you for a bribe, like is typical in the third world country I’m from.

Extensive peer review tests the evidence which in turn removes biases like the ones you listed. To not do it leaves room for those biases to remain which is what triggers reason to keep suspicion at first.
I enjoy all of these:

* Geopolitics - "The Duran" [realist foreign policy school] (on youtube). Two Greeks, one a reporter and one a former lawyer/civil servant in the UK. Alexander Mercouris is fantastic and has his own daily short videos.

* History - "Revolutions" podcast [Academic/liberal]. Formerly "The History of Rome" A great series on the transition of the West towards liberalism, and very well researched. On Spotify and perhaps other platforms.

* History/Education -- "Historia Civilis" [Academic/Educational]. A great podcast with animations suitable for educational use. Very entertaining and well researched. On youtube. If you want to know about the Constitution of Sparta or the Battle of Actium, this is the series for you!

* Music/Education -- "Everything Music" by Rick Beato [Music theory]. A great podcast where musical theory is applied to contemporary music, the structure of songs is often analyzed. On youtube.

* Journalism/Foreign Affairs -- "The Grayzone" [UK Independent Alt Media]. A group of independent journalists in the spirit of "The Intercept", if you want to know about what's going on in Burkina Faso, or ties between British Intelligence and various troll armies, then this is the podcast for you. A thorn in the side of Perfidious Albion and constantly under investigation in the UK. Episodes on youtube and they also have a media site online.

* Politics/Book Reviews -- "The Worthy House" by Charles Haywood [Hard Right Politics]. A series of 20 minute book reviews featuring primarily right politics but also some history and philosophy. On youtube. Charles reads each book and then critiques their ideas.

Non-podcast but off the beaten path online sources:

* Journalism/Foreign Affairs -- "MROnline" [Socialist/Alt Media]. Old School New York commie publication that was a platform for I. F. Stone and others. If you want to know why capitalism is slavery or the latest Western offenses against Venezuela, then this is the website for you. They have some high quality content that makes it worthwhile even though there is lots of cliche stuff as well.

* Diplomacy/Geopolitics -- "Indian Punchline" [Geopolitics/Non-Aligned] https://www.indianpunchline.com/ - A former Indian Diplomat covers geopolitcs, very interesting. Often covers important events ignored in Western media (e.g. the recent killing of 100 children in Kabul) and puts them in a larger geopolitical context from the Indian perspective.

* News/Geopolitics - "AZGeopolitics" [Eurasian Geopolitics] https://azgeopolitics.com If you want to know about the latest negotiations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, or what China is doing in Pakistan, or how Russia is organizing a gas cartel similar to OPEC with Uzbekistan, then this is the news source for you. Also has Africa coverage. All from a pro-Eurasia/anti-West perspective.

Let me also make a shout out to the "Deadliest Roads" documentary series on youtube, which was originally produced by France Television, and is absolutely fantastic.

I think “We are not attempting to assign levels of harm to the terms on this site.” is quite pain in its meaning. Do you just object to the existence of the list? Or am I misunderstanding and you’re just saying it’s weird to list them all together, and not attempting to ascribe value (or lack thereof) to the list?

I still think my original question stands - why wouldn’t I want to avoid most of these terms? Isn’t the list useful if I would?
> Because it depends on string encoding to define length. Let's say you have a UTF-8 string that stores emoji, what would the length be?

The encoded length. First because it’s necessary, second because it’s C and would not bother with anything else, third because USV length is useless, fourth because grapheme clusters have dependencies on the locale and data files, and are only useful in some cases. And their relation with code units / USVs is irregular (adding USVs can decrease GCs).

Latino/Latinx is not a direct substitute for Hispanic. To recommend that as a find/replace is highly irresponsible. People in Spain or from Spain are often or usually considered Hispanic but respectfully do not appropriate Latin-American/Latino identity.
It's a lot of work to reason about programs in order to reduce copies. A different, cheaper and more feasible approach is to reasoning about alignments and sizes.

There is literally no way that pun was unintended. Were it so, it’d be easier to just choose a different word rather than note it’s unintentionality.

'Frequently, over time, euphemisms themselves become taboo words, through the linguistic process of semantic change known as pejoration, which University of Oregon linguist Sharon Henderson Taylor dubbed the "euphemism cycle" in 1974, also frequently referred to as the "euphemism treadmill"'

Around that era I used those APIs to build a somewhat novel (and not very successful) dating site where you could play matchmaker for your friends based on their likes. I assure you, the API was public.

At some point Facebook started getting flak for having APIs that grant access to data-about-friends. There are a couple ways of looking at this; one way is "I didn't grant my friends permission to share my data with an app!" the other is "you shared your data with friends via Facebook, what does it matter if they use the FB UI or some other app". It's a can of worms but I don't think anyone would call it a breach.

It causes strictly less indirect access if you store it as part of the string struct, as C++, Go, or Rust do.
Stupid question, but doesn't rust have it's own, highly praised compiler? I'm just genuinely curious - would using gcc be better under any practical circumstance? Do they both generate low level code with/for LLVM?

It seems that the etymology is actually mistaken.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hep-Hep_riots

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hip_hip_hooray

I've heard the earlier theory (that it was an acronym for "Hierosolyma est perdita" which was supposed to have been a Crusader slogan), but Wiktionary thinks this is a false etymology.

I'm Ashkenazi Jewish and have never heard any Jewish or non-Jewish person claim to have personally associated the "hip hip hooray" cheer with antisemitism. Perhaps that association, even if it's etymologically incorrect, would have been top-of-mind for many Europeans in the 1820s, but I don't think that's so today.
A euphemism treadmill, in fact

It's a shame you failed to learn a lesson about how security is something the entire team is responsible for, and how a mistake like deploying something without a password is a failure of your processes rather than a failure of any one person. By firing the guy all you've done is made everyone paranoid which will slow you down; similar mistakes are still just as likely to happen again.
It's funny in that some classical purists probably thought of Bob Dylan's music as trivial and overly simplistic. I think criticism of music is fine if the comparisons make sense (dynamic range loss from over compression, over-mastering of modern music, etc..), but the snobs tend to just claim music now "sucks" without any nuance to their view.
Echo recommendation for CBT. Helped me greatly and it will help you.

How old will you be in 5 years if you do nothing? 45. If you make big changes, how old will you be in 5 years? The same? The point is: your age has nothing to do with it. At 40, you're still young.

Get thee back to the US. You can change careers.

You can have a wife and kids. Although be prepared to meet women with "baggage" - a prior divorce and children. The key to find a wife is to treat it like a second full-time job. Were you raised in a particular religious faith? If yes, join a singles group associated to it? Worried that you'll meet a woman who will want to go to church every Sunday? Stop worrying -- you can sit through anything for an hour.

You're not too old. It's not too late.

Good luck.

Welcome to a big company, enjoy your stay, and the feeling of uselessness.

To be honest, that sounds pretty normal to me.. It's an entirely different beast.. And the organization is so large and complex that you're no longer going to be "measured" on your direct output.. The org. does not care if you in particular has zero or negative output.. The org may care if the project you work on succeeds, it may not.. It may care only that the group you're in is doing okay.. Maybe it does not.. Maybe it only cares if the division your group,your project is in does well.. And it may be willing to also take a loss at that level..
Heh, in California (er maybe just San Francisco, can't remember), as of a few years ago, the orange countdown (or just a flashing orange hand) means "go ahead if you think you can make it across safely before the light changes".

And two weeks from now (also in California), legally, you can do whatever the hell you want, even cross on a solid orange hand (or even cross where there is no crosswalk), as long as you do it safely.

>Surely if the caller is getting charged with attempt to murder, then the SWAT doing the swatting should be charged with the same crime?

The SWAT team didn't intend to hurt innocent people. They thought they were saving innocent people. The swatter was intentionally terrorizing innocent people.
This is the primary reason that custom DCTs and a whole slew of predefined DCTs are included in the standard. The common 8x8 default works in most cases, but you can optimize heavily for edge case images (in which case, baking in the DCT is made up for by the decreased data size).
Your math gets you within an order of magnitude or so, check out NASA's work on ORDEM to predict this with Monte Carlos.

Two things:
1) The probability is very sensitive to # of objects and size assumptions. If you decrease the area of the bullets by an order of magnitude, the probability that it you will hit one 10 m^2 satellite in a year goes to 10%+
2) satellite orbits are not randomly distributed. Within 700-900 km altitude, the probabilities are ~2-3 orders of magnitude higher (1/1000/m^2/y)

> German CVs basically require photos and other information

I‘not sure where you got that from, but that’s just false. Most employers I know actively ask candidates to not submit irrelevant info like photos, gender, religion etc. in their applications as any info is a liability for an employer.

Look up AGG law and how all too easy it is to get a massive slap on the wrist for even the slightest hint of discrimination. Add PII issues on top.
That's not universally correct. A few years ago, in San Francisco (I don't think it was California-wide, but maybe I'm misremembering), the law was changed so that it's legal to even start crossing on a flashing orange, as long as you are safely able to get out of the intersection before the light changes.

(And as of Jan 1 of next year, jaywalking will no longer be an offense in California, so you can cross whenever and wherever you want, as long as it's not dangerous to do so.)
