In case anyone doesn't know:

I like this because it's a double-reflection at this point: It's someone trying to Other what they considered to be Normative American Culture, by attempting to see it as if they were an anthropologist observing a "tribe" somewhere... but it was written in 1956, so it focuses exclusively on White America in the late 1950s, which is pretty significantly Other to a lot of people these days due to shifts in culture and technology. Like, "vestal maidens who move sedately about the temple chambers in distinctive costume and headdress" is... what, exactly? I assume most of us here are Sufficiently Ancient to get that right off, but it isn't lampooning an extant group of people. Similarly, the Listener is no longer as prominent as he was back in the Age Of Anxiety, because the whole of mental health practice has moved on.

I agree with most of this, however in practice, it doesn’t really go down this way.

These large corporations often turn diversity goals into pseudo-business number games. To put it bluntly, they’ll hire a certain number of brown folks and pat themselves on the back for a job well done.

I’m all for extra grace. I really, truly am. I don’t talk about this much, but my grandfather was murdered by a burglar many years ago. My dad visited that man over a dozen times that I can remember when I was growing up, and there’s a lot of other details and lessons surrounding this, but my point is that I understand what I believe to be the true nature of grace.

Giving someone a job they don’t deserve because of their skin color is not grace, it’s tokenizing and patronizing, whilst simultaneously reinforcing the power structures that create the situation in the first place. No, a person should be given a job they don’t deserve because of the belief that they will be grateful to learn to do it well, and led to do so by a competent and compassionate mentor.

It’s this weird quantification that holds back people’s understanding when it comes to race and status in the workplace. It’s about people, and it can’t be captured or comprehended by any form of spreadsheet or business initiative.

If we want the situation for our neighbors to improve, we need to be good neighbors and help them, rather than saying “oh, well we should find sixteen more black neighbors to make our diversity quota.” If you’re one of those future neighbors, you suddenly realize that all you are is just some black person to fill a space, for numerical purposes.
I have tried polars for a couple of week and I am one of those weird guys who likes pandas syntax more than sql. Honestly, this is one of those "I will just wait until it (Pandas) gets better" thing. Anyone who uses Pandas and SQL extensively knows that whatever question you might have with them someone already has an answer for you. One the other hand Polars is new and I feel like the Polars community is pushing the better syntax to wrangle data just doesn't feel right. I am not smart enough to put three different wrangling/query syntax in my brain.

I am hopeful about duckdb mostly because how friendly the people behind the project is. But honestly they really need to improve their csv reader operation. The data type recognition for auto read csv needs work. And duckdb people knows about CSV read is the reason polars has an edge on them and I know they are working on it.

But at the end of all that, I will just wait for Pandas to get faster and better.
Not quite. My 2009s had 2 of those 3 if not all.

Surely you would agree that having crypto wired into the banking system inspires more confidence than “I give you a briefcase full of cash and you give me an entry in a ledger”

You have to have an awful lot of trust that this briefcase full of cash will be available to train back should you ever want it again.
No, content and the resource are two different things. The resource is the content and its metadata. Content length is what it says.
The likelihood of me keeping track of both well isn’t great. And then of I lose one, how do I go about revoking that from all the services? Not to mention that enrolling 2 keys requires you to have both keys every time you enroll. So I’m not sure how practical that is and how you know when you’ll need both keys. Recovery codes seem like a better option but then you’re stuck figuring out how to keep them around securely… OTP + diligence against social engineering is so far the only thing I’ve found that I trust. It’s not the best but multiple Yubikey’s sounds wrong and impractical as well.

If people really understood just how fragile the electric grid is they would soil themselves. If anything it's amazing that it works as well as it does - a real testament to all those that keep it up and operational. However, as you point out, continually running on the ragged edge is not a wise long term strategy.

There's also the notion of seeing when expensive planned maintenance is due. Changing the timing belt is a good example where the cost can exceed $1k, so knowing when that's due milage wise and what the current mileage is becomes important.

Windows has the Memory Diagnostics Tool, and your linux probably has a memory tester option in the boot manager. Of course you have to run them manually, which is a bit bothersome. Thee have been attempts at kernel patches for linux to test memory in the background, going at least back to 2005 [1], but there were probably some before that. The simpler versions just test whatever memory is free, the more sophisticated aproaches try to move stuff in physical memory to free each region periodically so it can be tested. But in the end it's spending CPU cycles on a problem most users never experience.

The affiliate link content marketing spam is really sad.

In my country, I've seen a few names show up in other more mainstream publications but fun is gone and replaced with a standard bland removedness from the story.

Keep in mind that this is the same game whose client-update-handshake-dance largely consisted of an enormous JSON of all the updates that had ever been done to the gamestate, which then got parsed naively. This situation was recognized and patched [0] by an interested third party [1].

Not a slight against the code monkey that implemented it that way, because they surely didn't bother to think about complexity consequences when the gamestate was new and the JSON wasn't 10MB yet, but a slight on Rockstar, because the cash cow that GTA:O turned out to be deserves some fuckin' maintenance, doesn't it? Then again, the eye-popping abilities (and prevalence!) of hax0rs in Rockstar games probably ought to signify priorities to even the most casual observer. As others in these comments observe, with what those hackers can achieve, it's not surprising to learn there's RCEs too.

In Lebanon, $500 USD goes a long way, and a lot of KYC rules are under that limit. All manner of mechanisms exist such as gift cards and cell phone minutes to make conversion without KYC.

ECC requires extra circuitry, and that results in more cost, also more testing cost, and also more failed chips (due to more complexity).

Most people have very little need for ECC. The author didn't even know that they wanted ECC until they were unlucky enough to get a stick of RAM that failed, and failed in such a way that the OS booted, but a file silently corrupted (not that common, because if a chip fails it usually doesn't silently fail like that).

The author is basically asking for ECC for free.
The statements in this thread by the company founders are concerning. How long until you can pay them to drive or walk or drone fly past someone's house with a 360° camera, Google Maps style? Not long, it seems. And if not them, then others.

The implications of this are worrying. Public spaces are public, but the social contract has never included being unexpectedly and repeatedly monitored. This is taking the privacy mores of the Internet and applying them to the physical world.

If we're not cautious to nip this in the bud right now, we'll end up with a pervasive surveillance scenario similar to that in Stephen Baxter's The Light Of Other Days.

Data and evidence is very often at odds with how we feel, which is why we tend to rely upon it more than feelings and give it more approximate weight and significance. It’s also why emotional arguments intended to persuade are so dangerous to those who are easily swayed by them.

Not anymore. The used car market is absolutely bananas. I was looking at used small SUVs in the $30k cad range. A 5 year old Mazda or Toyota was going for $5k off of original msrp. There was a 2021 low mileage Subaru going for the same price as new.

COVID did some wacky shit with the car market. The upside is that my junky old pathfinder is worth more than I paid for it in 2019

> The correct answer is actually 4-6 year old cars. They are still new enough where you shouldn’t have major problems for several years, while having depreciated more than 50% of their original value. After 4 years, cars depreciate a lot slower.

That is spot on. I bought mine 5 years old after it already took its huge, gigantic, depreciation curve. Moreover depending on the car segment you pick, the depreciation curve can be even more dramatic.

I bought my car used but with an extended manufacturer warranty, which I extend yearly (or for two or three years at once) and which I can renew up until 15 years and/or 200 000 km (whichever comes first). So there's no issue of "unforeseen costs": car has got a problem, it's the car manufacturer's problem, not mine. Sure, I pay for that extended warranty, but I prefer it that way.

Wife recently bought a five years old car too.

Four or five years old is also long enough to know if the model is a lemon or not and what to look out for on that model when you buy it: some manufacturers do really come up with a model full of problems once in a while and when you buy new, you're the guinea pig.

Taiwan has never been under control of the Qing dynasty. The Ming dynasty pushed out the Dutch. 200 years of Qing rule did nothing with Taiwan. At the end of the Qing dynasty they decided to call Taiwan a province to deter Japan from invading. When japan invaded they threw their hands in the air and handed Taiwan over. Japan was not even convinced Taiwan belonged to China. The Qing dynasty had to convince Japan by claiming there are other parts of the world where tribes live even tho the country is ruled.

Before 1943 the CCP called Taiwan an independent nation and nationality. They advocated for Taiwan independence. Mao said they would help Korea and Taiwan seek independence.

It wasn’t until the allied forces asked KMT to adminster Taiwan until a later date that the CCP decided Taiwan belonged to them.

Taiwans claims to China are due to KMT writing the constitution. The reality is people in Taiwan don’t consider China part of Taiwan. Taiwan is its own country and they don’t care about China. They want to continue to live their life in peace.

> But most early computer programmers were women. If it’s just the environment they grew up in, then why did programming computers shift over the 20th century from being a job dominated by women to a job dominated by men?

Early computer "programmers" were doing something more akin to data entry than churning out CRUD apps using the latest js framework. Comparing the programming jobs of the 70s or whatever to the jobs today therefore makes little sense.
