I worked for a while on a dating app (that was never released). It had over a dozen gender options and allowed selecting more than one gender. In the case of a dating app allowing multiple genders wasn't just about inclusivity, it was also practical - a non-binary person might want to also be classified as male or female for the purposes of a dating app, for example.

But in any case, it's the context that matters. Most of the time you don't need to know a person's gender so just don't ask. Many other times gender is just a proxy for something else, such as a person's title. It's better to just ask for their title than their gender.
One thing: I think it gets easier with age. Because what you "see" in movies is a reflection of your life experiences. And don't forget, reviews like this are mainly from professional reviewers.. So their careers are dedicated to this type of work and they will have more experience and education in this area.

I think it also helps to just read a lot of books and watch a lot of movies. Then by contrast you'll start to notice things that are special and/or meaningful in certain works. You could try reading reviews of movies you've watched and those can serve as a kind of guide to the interesting and important features/aspects of a movie...

In any case, try to just enjoy the watching and reading.
That'd be pretty cool!

I'm curious what JavaScript/React libraries do you use to generate your lines and boxes visuals?
Yes and no. There is also substantial proven bias in healthcare relating to gender and race.

Unfortunately, I think that's another reason we need to collect those statistics. Because if we can't measure the problem, we'll have a very hard time fixing it.

Hey, why does it matter if it's made in 'common lisp' ?
This is analogous to being suspicious of a "drink water and stay hydrated in hot weather" sign next to someone selling water bottles on the street.

VCs and investors are not charities, they want to turn a profit on their investment. You only make a profit if the founder(s) succeed. Cutting costs increases the probability of success by giving a longer runway.
Open accessible lectures / knowledge like yours allowed many people, me included, to turn their life around by putting in the effort and develop themselves. Thank you.
For physical books, I picked up these at a used book store and found them wonderful: Basic Electronics (Valkenburg, 1954). Something about those vintage illustrations.

It doesn't tell you how racist/sexist the system, it tells you your demographic.

There being more male construction workers doesn't make it a sexist system.

There being more female teachers doesn't make it a sexist system.

There being more asian doctors doesn't make it a racist system.

Let people do what they want to do, you can look at demographics but stop trying to read racist tea leaves with it.

I disagree. One of the things I think makes a good movie is the subtlety in which metaphor is used. It can't be too subtle or bash the viewer over the head. There's still a lot of metaphor going on in bad movies, but it's usually on the "bash the viewer over the head" end of the spectrum. And that makes it easier to recognize.

To me, bad movies lay bare the bones of how movies are made. You can much more clearly see what people were trying (and failing) to do with the film.
I use this technique of dropping things that I enjoy modestly but suspect may not be worth the cost. Among other things, it got me to stop keeping alcohol in the house. The nice thing about these experiments is that you realize that there are many things that are enjoyable but that can be eliminated without much overall consequence. This makes me less attached to most things (even the things that feel like non-negotiables like exercise) because I know that I can adapt to their absence. Of course one should avoid falling into the trap of extreme asceticism too, but I suspect few of us have that problem.

Insurance.

> Common sense tells me that there’s no way a tv show and a billionaire would let me kill myself and others. So that would make me think that there’s some characteristic of the capsule or the falls that would make the drop survivable.

Right, so you have to weigh this faith in the system (game shows are safe & billionaires won’t do anything extremely risky) against the facts of nature and a suspicious story being told to you. Probably 99.99% of people would push the button.

In a business setting if Branson approved a deal, and the due diligence (safety team) approved a deal, you could be forgiven for assuming it’s a smart deal. But when it comes to decisions you absolutely have to get right he wants people who ignore the advice of others and make their own independent assessment based on facts.

When you assume another team has done their job and they assume you’ve done yours you can get into a circular logic where no one has done their job and most people march forward (see Madoff documentary). In retrospect the risks were obvious and the story unbelievable. He wants that rare person who calls bullshit (Harry Markopolos) when all the other signals are saying “it’s safe”.

Many of the Madoff victims said the same thing: “It’s Madoff”, “It’s registered with the SEC”. They didn’t think a successful billionaire would do something so dumb that it would cost him and those around him everything.

Yes, you can forgive the victims for thinking the system should have protected them and you can still applaud Markopolos for not buying the bullshit and refusing to push the button.

Yes, Branson’s stunt is an imperfect/theatrical version of this and the challenge is biased in favor of people who are indecisive or afraid of heights. Almost all TV is sensationalized to appeal to an audience that wouldn’t be riveted by contestants pouring over a series of hedge fund returns trying to determine if they’re safe or fraudulent investments. It’s more the symbolism that’s important.
In software it's useful in internationalization. In languages like Spanish or Russian you have to know the gender of the person or thing you're talking about.

This extends to non-living things, in many languages, you can't just do "$THING has been deleted". How you say "deleted" changes depending on the grammatical gender of the thing. "El objeto ha sido eliminado", "La entrada ha sido eliminada".
For manipulating your attention instincts.

A very similar thing is asking for your feedback on every second page of the website, and then forwarding it straight into /dev/null. It's because once you shared it via their website, you will be less inclined to go post a (possibly damaging) opinion elsewhere. Your instinct to be heard has been satisfied, and the chance of a negative review visible to others has decreased by N%, which is still good enough for "economies of scale".

Similarly, HRs have somehow collectively figured out that if you nudge people to self-express by stuffing their gender issues into the peers' faces, they will be less likely to self-express by demanding better salary, scheduling, working conditions, etc. It organically grew from the "employee of the month" bullshit and other "trinkets in lieu of a raise" programs, and is now reaching completely ridiculous levels. Hopefully, the rising inflation will give people a more tangible problem to solve, and we will see more focus on things like quality of life, affording kids, retirement perspectives, and so on.
I don't know that I agree with everything you're trying to get at, but shouldn't it just be called "racism". The term reverse-racism seems nonsensical. The term itself seems racist, implying that you can't be racist toward certain races. You can only be "reverse-racist".
University Problem: Students are complaining about insufficient parking on-campus.

University Solution: Wipe out 1/4 of the available parking space to build a shiny new library, renovate the old library - turning it into a "student life center" nobody knew they needed, then triple the price for student parking permits and require all freshmen to live in the overpriced on-campus housing.
> Anti-racism seeks to end that system.

Explain how you apply "anti-racism" please. If you're excluding people based on their skin color or origins, that is racism, even if they are white or asian.

> Everybody agrees that the US was hugely racist to start out and for centuries thereafter.

Speak for yourself, not everybody. If anything we were the colony to finally collapse the system after many centuries of it being standard across the world.

It's kind of a slap in the face for all those people who fought to end it.

What type of situations did you run into while using it?

I've been using Celery for a long time in production now. Nothing crazy and it's a fairly basic set up of "execute job, thanks!" along with a beat server. Over the last 6-7 years an off the top of my head guess would be that there's been at least 5 million jobs processed. It's not huge volume when measured over years but it's been stable.

One server was running for 6 months without being updated. That's a Celery worker process running for ~180 days uninterrupted. It served hundreds of thousands of jobs without maintenance. A lot of these were pretty beefy tasks too like performing HTTP requests that got 400mb XML responses and then parsed them. I didn't even have things like `worker_max_tasks_per_child` set either.
"Laptop snatched at Starbucks" is a security incident scenario people frequently plan for.

Your doctor does need to know your gender as well as your sex, especially your GP. It's part of your behavior and mental health, which is also their remit.
Hmmm. I might have to take another look at optimisation for the deck, then.

Sure. I use the cl-steamworks library I wrote. https://shinmera.github.io/cl-steamworks/
Their API frankly sucks and getting the integration going was a big pain. However, if all you want is the minimum, like achievos, you can omit all of that and just do a couple C calls.

The engine has abstracted support for achievements and such integrations, so it is possible to integrate with other platforms, too, should we ever release on GOG or EGS.
No becauase in some language the forms of words used to describe people vary depending on whether the person is male or female. It's not just a case of picking the right pronouns, it's the gender agreement of the other parts of speech too.
I agree. I recognize that gender & gender identity are important topics, and I don't mean to make jokes of it.... but these implementations are horrendously bad. Who builds an input form that says "Gender: Male, Female, or Hot Bread" and thinks "yep, this makes sense!"
I could see not wanting to deal with solar panels, but for example does a Powerwall require much maintenance? It isn’t like lead acid where you have to top them off occasionally or whatever.

And if you live somewhere with, like, reasonably first-world-ish infrastructure you only get an occasional blackout, which should only last like a day or so. Size a battery for a normal day of use or a couple days of rationed use, and then never have a power outage again.
My question is a bit of a non sequitur, but I noticed that your project took off pretty quickly out of the gate. Congrats!

Yup. Except that I did not have fucking time to analyze situation in all fine details.

We should be worried because it's evidence of a tech bubble. I mean, this is obvious, as almost every major tech company has been operating at a loss since their inception, and are propped up by investors anyway, because it inflates their stock price, and if you sell at the right point, you can get rich. It might destroy the world economy, but hey, shit happens.

Don't they call you "white hispanic"? As far as I know they just have white, black, native american and asian in the main race categories, then you might add "hispanic black" or "hispanic white" to those two, but hispanic isn't a separate category.
> About a year later the trickle of bad news about gas stoves began.

Nah. Here's an article from 1996. (The "now, ladies" dates it pretty well to sometime outside the last decade, heh.)

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-04-02-ls-54048-...

"And now, ladies, one more reason to get out of the kitchen: Cooking may be hazardous to your health. Or so suggests controversial new research into the relationship between the use of gas stoves and respiratory problems in women. The major pollutant released by the combustion of gas is nitrogen dioxide, an odorless, reddish-brown compound that irritates the linings of the respiratory tract and causes shortness of breath."
The argument against microservices is simple - there should be a clear use case for a microservice. Don't go - "we do everything as a microservice". Almost 20 years ago we had "we do everything using SOA"... Same thing.

And your own comment shows that microservice advocacy are inconsistent:

> Individual microservices are far less complex than monoliths, which allows even a single developer to work on a microservice, run and test it on their local machine

> database system can be considered a microservice, and that's hardly simple or tiny

DBMS is as much a microservice, as many other microservices are. You cannot just replace a DBMS with another transparently, just like in many cases you cannot just deploy a different version of a microservice without coordination.

Both the video and the newspaper article from the Guardian do not link to the actual tweet. Most interesting.

EV or not EV, I really think you want 200A service? It has been the standard for quite a few years, and I cannot imagine only having 100A service in a proper house (would be fine for an apartment or whatnot). Now I am higher electric usage than most, but I hit over 100A several times a day (but have never hit 200A and flipped my breaker).

The actually switching out your circuit breaker from 100A to 200A is cheap (2-3k?). Almost all of the cost is for the utility to run you a bigger line, and they can pretty much charge you anything they want (what is your alternative if you don't like the price?)

For the purpose of filling in the tax form.
Probably not. Sex has a material basis, gender identity an ideological one. The former has much more staying power than the latter, which is likely to be seen as an unusual fad belief in the decades and centuries to come.
Sad but true. Which begs the question, if they're inclusive of a certain race and gender, are they exclusive of others?

This whole agenda towards absolute equality in all aspects of life is ridiculous. Why settle for race and gender? Let's make sure we have equal amounts of people by eye and hair color, height, weight, or any other criteria. Doing anything less is surely discriminatory.
The thing about explaining market movements is: you can't. And if you could, you would me making money over fist, not sharing that on some forum.

Inquiry - how having this data proves that they do such a thing? Maybe none of the black applicants had necessary qualifications?

Ok top of it not having "motivation" to communicate, it has literally nothing to be communicated in the first place.

That's the key difference. We use language to express conceptualizations. We have some kind of abstract model somewhere that we are translating.

Maybe it isn't a cohesive model either. All I can say for certain is that - whatever it is - we are expressing it.

Depends what the market is like. I took a pay cut during dot-bomb and there really was very little out there. My compensation did creep back up over time but it did take a long-term hit until I eventually went elsewhere. (Other than low comp, I did enjoy the work for the most part.)
For data collection purposes, a "sex" field is more informative than a "pronoun" field. That's not to say a "pronoun" field wouldn't be informative, only that pronouns supervene on sex except in outlier cases.
So, the way I understand it, job/services.py and load/services.py depend on mediator/mediator.py which depends on job/models.py and load/models.py, instead of job/services.py ultimately using load/services.py, and vice versa.

Did we watch the same video?
That's not hard; you can do it with reasonable accuracy and then punt to human employees if there's any doubt.

Matching many photos against many photos is the quadratic assignment from hell. If you use traits to sort people into 50 buckets, and you have 300 people in the database, you'll need to match each photo from the surveillance camera against six people in the database. If your database is the passport photos of the thirty million adult Iranian women, you'll need to match that surveillance photo against 600,000 passport photos of similar-looking women, photographed up to five years ago. Awful.
You can't refute something that is actually happening based on economic principles. Your theory has to match the data, not the other way around.

This is the equivalent of saying "that plane isn't flying because gravity holds things down".
