> You can be right that it's common to see and still wrong that it's an innate part of being a woman.

It's not "an innate part of being a woman".

It's an innate part of being human.

Last I checked, around 2% of people go into tech. That means that 98% of all people prefer something else.

Is there something wrong with them that needs explaining? Don't think so.

Is there something wrong with society because these 98% of people enjoy something else more? I don't think so.

Who made the 2% of people who like being in tech the standard? So that any deviation from this standard must be explained by ... evil forces? Genetics?

Is there something wrong with the 2% of people who do enjoy going into tech because 98% of people do not? I don't think so.

Now the genders skew slightly differently, for men it's more like 97% prefer to do something else, and with women it's 99% who prefer to do something else. So what? Let people do what they want to do.
Jt’s just a guy with a bunch of rocks: https://xkcd.com/505/
My experience matched the article assertion.

I worked in a financial company in Norway as a consultant for few years on IT project. In a division with over 20 people only 2 were women with one of them being an immigrant from a not-so-rich country. My boss even complained few times that the upper management put pressure on him to do something about it, but he simply cannot find suitable women.

Then at the management level things were more even. Like 30 % were women.

Then there was a few programmers and system administrators from India working on outsourced projects . Like 50% were women. Yet anything related to management position in Indian company was exclusively for men. That was including minor management roles like a team lead even when everybody else on the team was woman.
I wonder if more and more of these ethical issues will be what pushes tech workers to unionise rather than working conditions.
It is the problem. Removing device support is akin to revoking the license. Google sold this license, demands some harsh conditions on devices and DRM but then doesn't care about keeping up its own part of the deal.

Imagine buying a car just to figure out that a couple of years later you can't fill it up anymore, because "that particular model of inlet is not supported any longer." You are not allowed to change the inlet.
>The job of the government is to make tough decisions like this in times of crisis. You can agree or disagree but this was neither malicious nor in my opinion outside the scope of the role.

I understand how dangerous it is for the government to lie, but what do people think would have been the proper approach here? Do we not remember what it was like during the early pandemic and all the hoarding that was going on? Did we forget how hospitals and retirement homes were using garbage bags and scuba equipment as PPE? Sometimes all the choices are bad. The choice to put the safety of medical professionals fighting the pandemic head on above the safety of the general citizenry seems like the least bad option. Because if the medical system collapsed, which seemed like a real possibility at the time, that would put the general citizenry in even more danger.

The companies still own the domains. So transferring to something else will be trivial
The Bundeswehr, however, is a part of the German state, which is a member.

They are still bound to their treaties.
>”Can you give some examples of stupid things?”

“We see a need to build X. Its fancy and shiny new technology. It is right thing to do. What problem does it solve? Dont worry about that. We are going to strong arm a few teams to adopt this, even though it costs money to build and support. Sure, we can make investment in Y instead but dont want to because solving Y doesn’t let us increase head count or write promotion documents. Plus, X is very complex. It guarantees job security for people who understand it. Let’s not worry about what happens if these people then quit and make this thing everyone elses problem”

Its not always outright nefarious reasons but there’s always an incentive structure incentivizing wrong behavior because it benefits individuals or is cool or fun thing to work on, without having meaningful impact or business value
I presume that's what the document linked in that sentence (https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/17/068/1706862.pdf) is supposed to back up, but I don't read German so I just take "The entire population of Afghanistan was biometrically catalogued" at face value and don't assume they base it on any device when they really have no way of knowing. If I have now understood what you're saying in the second instance.
I am wondering if edge of chasi is too sharp like some recent ones...

Afghan jurisdiction is irrelevant. The aim would be for the case to be tried by a German court.
I dunno, American system seems to be in capture by minority party and also has track record of disenfranchising large part of population. Plus, juridical system underperformed in Amrica, due to very little checks or balances on cops and prosecutors. They also imprison impressive amount of population.
I think you’ve misunderstood what we are talking about.

This isn’t jamming.

If it was trivial to identify signals from high noise situations all our radios would be perfect.
Been a Fastmail user for more than a decade. Definitely been worth the money.

I don't use aliases but instead a catch-all email, and the web UI knows to respond to emails with the correct catch-all email, so you don't have to set your From address manually. Very handy.
Why focusing on transistors count then?

Compare top CPUs from 2012 and current top CPUs

I've opened cpubenchmark and compared those CPUs:

AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX

and

Intel Core i7-3970X @ 3.50GHz (I didnt know how to find something better)

First one has 98k points, second one has 8k points.

It's giant gap.

even pretty normal (consumer) CPU like Intel Core i9-13900K has 60k~ points.
I agree, the number of notifications on LinkedIn is just ridiculous.

Even if I disabled pretty much everything, I regularly get a new useless kind of notification on my phone.
afaik, the `time` package [1] from the golang standard library has a brilliant support for (almost) everything about time, including timezone, leap year, months, duration.

take timezone for example, time.Time.In [2] could be a good startpoint to learn how they do the conversion.

There are a couple of plugins that do this.

For vim: https://github.com/wellle/context.vim

For neovim (much higher performance in my experience): https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context

I believe there's now also a VS code plugin for the same behavior, but I don't know what it's called.
You are describing XML. Now you also need to figure out how to convert said XML into actual API calls that create/update/delete corresponding resources.

The question you need to ask yourself is why/how is this better than what Terrafrom provides.
Nice, in Romania it's about 8 euros for 1 gig, unfortunately 10 isn't available in my city yet.

Edit: Just checked and for 10 G it would be about 10 euros and for 2.5 G - 9 euros, that's a very good upgrade, probably they assume that most users won't take advantage of the full bandwidth.
France was a key ally to the Americans during the Revolutionary War, and their support was instrumental in helping the young nation gain legitimacy in the eyes of other countries. The French military's intervention at the Battle of Saratoga was a turning point in the war, and without their help, the Americans may have been soundly defeated by the British.
> It seems weird to me that Twitter is the only one people seem to be up in arms about

They're the only one releasing internal files. If others did, like Facebook or Youtube, or Fox if you really want (but that would be a strange choice) do you think we'd only be up in arms about Twitter or do you think you might hear "Now it's Twitter and Facebook!" Regardless, I've seen plenty of people pointing out that this probably went on in many places, it's just harder to get worked up about a negative, implausible as it is.

> Twitter didn’t even really block most things, they just added a small banner alongside some statements that amount to being a reminder to check your sources.

That's simply not true and makes it seem like you haven't read the article or the associated Twitter thread. I'm not going to provide the quotes because you should've read the article instead of providing an untrue anecdote, and you can click the link above.

It's also not relevant whether they blocked "most things", what matters is that they blocked true things, things provided by notable experts, and that they were blocked because they inconvenienced the powers that be or dissented from the official line.
I started the conversation saying 'you do you'. I don't know where you're getting the idea that I'm expecting anything to be swallowed unquestioningly. I've simply explained why many people do find the movie problematic and even linked academics whose expertise you're free to evaluate on your own.

The follow-up question was simply to gauge what your personal line for content in a film being "problematic" is. From what you've said it sounds like your bar is wherever real world problems can be measured as a result. Fair enough if that's your position, but that's quite a high bar just to say a film is distasteful. Birth of a Nation is the only movie I can think of that might clear it.
There is nothing wrong about having male dominated roles and female dominated roles, pushing equity down everyone's throat only profits corporation exploiting the less fortuned.

It is well known in healthcare that women are better nurses and males are better surgeons, in general.
Well, I guess he knows better then, hope it works alright for him, after being on the edge of almost giving up.
The interesting part here is that there are plenty of exceptions - and those exceptions tend be clustered in different societies and cultures.

I'm not advocating you change wherever you're at, I'm just delighted that where I am women drive road trains & haul paks, design ships, wire buildings, advance astrophyysics, etc (and, for that matter, so do the men).

It certainly makes your bemoaning "have you tried talking to women about tech?" a non issue hereabouts.

If you're happy with your bit of "the real world" (ie. a subset of the actual real world) then good on you, go forth and enjoy - and perhaps bemoan less.
Sure thing! https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context is what I use nowadays. It has a little clip demonstrating how it works so you'll instantly know if you want it or not ;)

> not requiring any cost/resource/energy to such computing loads, and reliably without any uncaught exceptions.

It is highly distributed, in that every atom in the universe is performing this "calculation", all the time. That is literally an ungodly amount of energy. As for uncaught exceptions, they are also performing "only" this calculation, not much room for exceptions there. But let's not talk about quantum tunneling and other weird things that go on in the even lower level VM ;)

That is correct, but general public understanding is a little different.
Nirvana ( Sanskrit origin ) word to word means : to blow out / disappear / extinguish and so on. But to "achieve Nirvana" or "Nirvana prapti" generally means to reach a state when nothing else matters ( you have disappeared sort of , but very very loosely )
It can't be called a debate, when one side wasn't allowed to speak.
As far as I can see it would need humans for now.. so until it becomes or even more to become fully independent, and then also to exterminate humanity, nothing is better to quickly and safely reach those goals than to take over?

Even if safari had the greatest date picker ever conceived, don't use date pickers for date of births. They will never be better or faster than typing your DOB. Pickers are best for choosing dates that aren't known ahead of time, or where you need to know how a date relates to week days / week numbers etc.

The proposed solution of using number inputs is also not great, since they have a host of accessibility issues [0] You want a regular text input with inputmode="numeric" and a pattern attr. This will give the correct numeric keyboard on mobile, and work just as well in desktop, without any of the associated issues.

I've built several date pickers, I know how hard they can be to get right. But they shouldn't bbw blindly used for any date value, they should be a deliberate choice

Uh, google cloud is growing like 40% year on year, and its losses are not.

You could call those losses investment, and compare it to how Amazon took over the world (pre AWS) without making a profit.

Consistently growing 40% year on year is expensive. It doesn't mean it's not doing great.

It's not losses, it's investments for continuing the exponential growth in revenue. When that investment is not needed because market saturation, this can quickly flip to billions in profit.
Just label it? or split it into 3 separate labeled fields? Obviously not one singular input without any explanations/labels. :/ (Seriously, what is the last time you encounter a text-based date input that is not clear on the format?)

Stop attacking the strawman. I am obviously talking about using text inputs as oppose to rolling selector/click to increment thingy (as shown in the article).

> Without user experience testing "I'm convinced" says more about the person saying it than the reality of what users in the broad will find easier and what will reduce friction.

The article clearly shows using the increment buttons/the rolling selector is causing problems for users. That is, my friend, user experience testing.

With more advanced biometric authentication, verification, and identification technology at our disposal in 2022 than ever before, we can make industry systems more secure while maintaining efficiency and accessibility. Let’s talk about how biometric authentication works and the most important new trends such as artificial intelligence biometrics.
This does not sound unique to Southwest, I imagine all airlines have to do this to get people staged in the right places. Which means our air travel system is basically a just-in-time system and as we've learned JIT systems break quickly when there are shortages. Software problems and a lack of schedulers may be contributing to this event, but it seems like it could happen to any airline and is something of an infrastructure weakness in global transport. In fact, airlines might sometimes book flights for pilots and attendents on competitors planes, which may mean the lack of flights by Southwest could affect other airlines placement of personnel, so there may be some contagion risk.

> we have loads of evidence the societies with more locking down and more extreme interventions saved more lives

Japan had no lockdowns (because current law prevents such government overreach). Would you like to compare death figures between the more populace and much older and therefore, on the face of it, much higher risk Japan, with Germany?
Thanks, that fixed it.

We couldn't leave our apartments except to go to the supermarket for over two months. Followed by another 6 months of absurd rules in winter 2020/2021. You could eat in a restaurant but only until 3pm. You couldn't go outside after 10pm. You needed a mask to walk down the street but could take it off to eat. The fact that everyone just complied with such ridiculousness without question is why I lost my mind.
You have to prove that we're "encumbered" by anything, and that the status quo is not merely the reflection of people's natural preferences, and that it would be better for society to break the status quo.

You can't prove any of these things. They are dogmatic assertions
There is no proof that you bought it, you can save for yourself if you don't want "reimbursement". I know how to use torrents, you know. The point was to support artists, not to get anything.

If you change your mind and would like to get the payment, the offer conditions is still valid, I don't deny to pay.

Actually your attitude is more or less the same as in other current distribution platforms - they kinda might support artists, but don't respect the client. And that's the reason that they will continue to loose money.

So we have a nice cosplay of modern labels, really!
I thought this too for the longest time. Then I heard an anecdote from one of my colleagues that does licensing: The music licensing industry heads (RIAA/MPAA/ASCAP/etc) are tiny fish monetarily, but they own everything and control it. If the RIAA doesn't like you, they can make you go away. The issue is that if anyone wants to fight them on Antitrust grounds, this turns the big light of Antitrust litigation around on those big fish that depend on Very Carefully not being in the spotlight.

Putting it differently: if Google tried to do anything, their counter would be calling the licensing bodies anticompetitive, which puts Google in the crosshairs next.

The proper approach would have been to pass emergency legislation establishing mask rationing and distribution. If need be, confiscate the entire existing supply and direct it to the hospitals. But don't lie about it.
I do not know how different Norway from Sweden, but among family lawyers in Norway women are like over 75% with quite a few remaining man are immigrants. And a family lawyer can earn more than a programmer. 50 years ago lawyers were almost exclusively male, the same as in IT. Yet in IT it became even worse.

Then look at pilots. As 50 years ago they are almost exclusively man. And this is in a strongly unionized field with a lot of scrutiny so it is much less likely that harassments will be undetected compared with IT.

Costs money to build new DCs and lay undersea cables for next year's customers when you're consistently growing at 40% year on year.

My prediction is when they stop growing exponentially the investments will instead become huge profits.
> They made it clear after the fact that this was done because there wasn't an adequate supply of masks for 330M people, and they needed to secure a supply for first responders. The job of the government is to make tough decisions like this in times of crisis. You can agree or disagree but this was neither malicious nor in my opinion outside the scope of the role.

I feel like just outright telling people "hey, we don't have enough, please give it to most vulnerable people first" would be better approach than "lie and hope idiots believe it", thus producing whole swathes of idiots repeating the lie
Teensy Twofer of Plug-In Emulated Retro CPUs
I picked up a mini pc for my son a few weeks ago. €439 for a Ryzen 5600H, 32GB DDR4 RAM and a 500GB NVMe SSD. It comes with Windows 11 Pro and boots in ~10 seconds.

Fedora runs great on it as well, booting in around 15 seconds, with the exception of suspend making the system unstable but that isn't uncommon with Linux sadly.

For the price and form factor these mini pc are great. I just hope it lasts more than a few months :D

Yeah that's got it reversed. Vim is overkill for editing configuration files. You see people use vim for configuration files because it's there and they already know how to use it.

If you really want to ease into it then simply enable the (neo) vim plugin in vscode, it's pretty good. You'll miss some big features but you'll have all the bread and butter features. Only risk is that you'll get used to some vscode features as well.
The document says the bundeswehr did participate in the data collection as part of their EUSAF mandate and that it was close to the entire population. It doesn't say anything about how the database was stored. I wouldn't have said anything if the wording wasn't as absolute at it is in the PR but the part about that all of the data is compromised just because it got collected just stinks.

HN is a social media site if you visit multiple times a day and post comments and spend your mental energy on the site, and allow yourself to into rabbit holes for hours.

If you want to cut down on time spent on HN, on F-Droid there is an app called Glider. Its a typical HN client. It has a feature/button called Catch Up, where it gives you top posts by week/month, similar to how you can filter things on reddit and typically reddit clients.

I highly recommend experimenting with batching time spent on certain sites to once a week and once a month, that is, 5 or 6 visits a month, and get a high level overview of what happened (instead of multiple visits daily, which interrupts your flow). Then limit yourself to only look at the top 5 top-level comments (and not go into comment rabbit holes). Same for reddit, or skip reddit if you can, its mostly noise. Skip other social media sites too.
