Yes that's the key question. There is no clear evidence for this, but there are things like this, from CNN:

> Three sources told CNN that the Department of Energy’s shift was based in part on information about research being conducted at the Chinese Centers for Disease Control in Wuhan, China, which was studying a coronavirus variant around the time of the outbreak.

> CNN has previously reported that the Chinese CDC lab in Wuhan was researching coronaviruses and bats, but it is unclear how closely related the variants being studied there were to SARS-CoV-2, the strain of the virus which spread around the world in 2020.

> Overhauling the legal definition of non-profit to require the highest-paid employees to make no more than ~10X as much as the lowest-paid employees would make a lot of sense.

Very easy to work around by outsourcing most operations. If you really want to prevent high salaries there you'd need to link it to some more fixed measure, such as a multiple of median salary.
This is the exact same dynamic that happens with comedy. When a comedian offends a group, it's typically not people from that group who complain - it's third parties who step in to represent that group.

IMO the purpose of language changing is not to improve the world; instead, it's to give the feeling of changing the world without putting any real effort.

Fun (in a sad way) fact: a friend of mine collaborates with an association that deals with diverse people. Some high-up complained that my friend's group (within the association) is "not diverse enough". Thing is: my friend is actually non-binary themselves. Go figure.

EDIT: replaced the definition of my friend from "diverse" to "non-binary", in order to be exact; the same principle stands, though!
Incredible, plan s has all my support
They do refer to AFL++ in their footnote [17], citing that they took various improvements from them. I believe AFLfast would be from AFL++ then. And maybe they wanted the exclude RADAMSA into it's own category. Hongfuzz is also missing

No but for a popular job listing in a well known company with hundreds of applicants, there are going to be dozens of people who have similar experience as you, plus have the exact qualification that they are asking for, putting you at an automatic disadvantage.
Its been a while but I seem to remember that its adoption as a maxim outside of law is itself fairly modern, and coincides with that usage, but, in any case, even if that were not the traditional meaning outside of law, the maxim is (outside of its use as a maxim of legal analysis) simply false and illogical in any other sense. Exceptions disprove rules, they don’t prove them.

The legal maxim only makes sense in its domain because it rests on the idea that law is written by people, and that calling out a specific case for one treatment reveals a pre-existing understanding that outside of that case, that treatment would not apply.
Nice, thanks for the link.

> But using the "true details" (who cares if it's Ethan Hawk or Tom Cruise or whoever in Gattaca when you're discussing the relevance of the genetic engineering aspects of it) as a measure of how trustworthy someone is? That's just ridiculous to me, especially because for most conversations it doesn't matter.

It depends. In this example, if the listener says "I don't think it was Tom Cruise in that movie" and the speaker says "Whatevs, that doesn't matter", then sure, it didn't matter.

If the speaker said "No, it WAS Tom Cruise", then obviously it does matter. You can't know whether it matters or not until you express doubt.

I am recent graduate with an interest and focus in ML. I stay up to date with current deep learning research in a variety of subjects and am a diligent programmer who loves to tackle complex problems. Currently looking for entry level machine learning/data science roles. Feel free to email me - I'd love to chat!
Yeah, I'm aware of "churning". AFAIK its only possible to beat the system by taking advantage of many temporary offers in series and distorting your spending to get the 'free' value offered by their featured partners. i.e. you can only beat the system to the extent that you value airline miles and gift cards as their cash equivalents.
You're right, it's not in our current roadmap, which focuses mainly on features that improve data entry, analysis, visualization, and collaboration. Having said that, Mathesar could grow as a product and have a diverse set of features we've not yet planned, in the next few years.

A feature to build interfaces for internal admin tools sounds very cool, and while we cannot say that it's coming for sure, we'll definitely be discussing it. Please feel free to open a feature request issue on our Github repo, we'd appreciate it.
A single person shouldn't be able to be diverse on their own! That's a property of groups. You can try to define a "default person" and then say you want each individual to differ from that in your favourite characteristics, but that's a different game and provides none of the benefits of actual diversity.
I would find it more logical to use different numbers for the two directions. Odd vs even, names vs numbers, whatever number was free.
> So if you have a negative view of the CCP, then you should have a negative view of Chinese too.

I disagree with the (admittedly large) subset of Chinese people who support the CCP, but me having a negative view of them as people doesn't follow from that.

> It's because the CCP improved the lives of 1.4 billion people and is still improving their lives. GDP per capita went from $317 in 1990 to $12,000+ in 2022. And why would they overthrow the CCP now?

I didn't claim that the CCP did nothing good and was all bad. There's clearly far worse alternatives than the CCP. Also, it's not accurate to attribute all of China's current success to the current CCP. A lot of it was the seeds planted thanks to the economic liberalization in the preceding few decades when the CCP was more liberal than it is today.

> But if the CCP needs to be overthrown and is no longer working for Chinese people, they will overthrow it.

Authoritarian states create mechanisms that make them difficult to overthrow.
In German the word for poor ("arm"), while there is some connection to pity like in English (one can be "arm dran", "poorly off"), can't be used to describe bad / undesirable quality.

It was still replaced with "sozial schwach" (literally "socially weak", but actually means financially weak, people who don't have much money) in many contexts, especially by politicians and journalists.

(Thankfully, there is a push against "sozial schwach", to use "arm" again - it's a horrible phrase)

I’m not sure if everyone can access this, but here’s her response to the Bhopal gas tragedy which killed thousands of people.

https://www.nytimes.com/1984/12/12/world/mother-teresa-carri...

———————

Mother Teresa stressed two points. First, the gas tragedy was not the worst catastrophe she had seen. ''I have seen worse suffering,'' she said.

Referring to the intensity of the disaster, she said, ''It is more terrible to see a person with maggots eating his face slowly dying over weeks and months.''
Then, returning to a favorite theme, Mother Teresa made her second point. She stressed the need for forgiveness to government officials, reporters and doctors. ''There must be bitter feelings inside,'' she said. ''This could have been an accident, it is like a fire could break out anywhere.''

''That is why,'' she said, ''It is important to forgive.''

''Forgiveness offers us a clean heart and people will be a hundred times better after it,'' she said.

She was an awful person.
Makes sense actually. Now that you mention it I can imagine Casablanca to be enjoyable to "watch" even with my eyes closed. A lot of the black and white stuff. I guess they were (better) written, more like plays, with actors projecting their voices. Now they do the mumble whisper thing, even native speakers are forced to turn on subtitles for increasingly terrible plots.

BTW you should know my comments had a +5 and now are being downvoted by the woke mob, who know what is best for you.

Edit: And its back to very positive. I only remark on this when the cowardly woke losers try to bully people with downvote brigading otherwise the points don't matter. Bet there's a lot of screeching on a Mastodon somewhere.

What's the difference in keeping the same 550 people working under the old name with a $2.7bn cost sunk into it, and just acknowledging the $2.7bn as a loss and moving the 550 people to work under a different name.

It's not like the name was a significant part of their product and they'd now have to spend a similar amount to get to a similar stage in their research and development, is it?

As someone that is still in undergrad but will be entering the labor market in a few years, this entire process makes me incredibly anxious to think about. Reading what some people go through to find decent jobs has been a huge stressor throughout my undergrad career. I was lucky enough to secure a good internship this summer (which took months of searching and getting ghosted). I’m not excited to run the rat race again once I graduate—that’s for sure!
> now that we're saying "birthing people" instead of "women", it's time to acknowledge that abortion is not actually a "women's issue".

Which is partly right, to be fair. It’s a fundamental human right issue about who can force things on your body. The consequences also affect whole families, not all men are arseholes who vanish when their girlfriend gets pregnant. Framing this as only women’s issue is part of a dangerous tribal war.

It is also part of a pattern of subjugation of a social group on religious grounds, and as such part of a broader attack on secular, liberal societies.
You replied to me. Please refer to the links above.
The thing is, there will be a moment, shortly after 3am, when you will be consuming pizza - and that’ll be a pretty good moment. You could give yourself that moment if you wanted to, nobody is stopping you. Go ahead. Just go see what’s in the fridge. If you make some toast, put butter and garlic salt on it, slather it with spaghetti sauce, then bake cheese on top of it, is that basically pizza? What if you chopped up a bratwurst and put it on top? What if you sprinkled some of that leftover pico de gayo on top? What if you made like six of them at the same time, and put them on a baking sheet, and then when they were ready, you woke up the other people in your house so they could enjoy this pizza you made.

The difficult part of this being, some of the 100% blind people effectively don’t like the word and don’t want to be called blind. Then some people are ‘only’ 80% blind, and don’t want to be called blind. Then some family members of blind people don’t want the word to be used.

I think it’s pretty common phenomenon, like the people who call themselves “black”, those who are called “black” but hate it, and everyone in the middle usually not knowing what’s the position of any specific person’s on the issue.

I don’t think there even is a correct answer, as long as there are many people in different situations with different perceptions of what the words mean, there’s no way we get a consensus on this. At most we could get a majority sharing a common sensibility and bully the rest into submission, as it happened so many times in history.

> And then he was replaced.

> And then... We realized how much politics, uncertainty, churn, screaming, changing requirements, ambiguous priorities and other carp he protected us from :-/

Indeed, have experienced that. At my best job experience ever, there was zero politics or distractions, I could focus all day long on interesting and relevant technical problems. I was both very happy and extremely productive.

And then.. my manager left. Whoa! The following months were insane mudslinging and relentless politics thrown at us in the team, could barely get any work done. Left the company soon after.

Turns out our previous manager was absorbing and firewalling all that from us so we could be happy and productive.

A great manager is like a great security team. You'll never notice what they're doing until they're not there.
They seem supply constrained for external customwrs to buy, look at alk the Ubiquiti out of stock devices that depend on them.
I think that highlight my main gripe about what I'd call excessive inclusion. Sure there are some people who identify as male, who will go on to become pregnant, but they have to understand that they are not representative of anything. The number of trans-men who also become pregnant is so tiny that it's beyond an edge case, it's not something that needs to be accounted for everywhere. That's not to say that they shouldn't have the same rights as everyone else, or that we should tolerate actions taken against them. It's just that some groups are so tiny that having special language or accommodation for them makes little sense.

If they are successful in have a pregnant trans-woman in Unicode, you just know that, depending on the depiction, it will be used as "The fat guy"-icon.

That's true, but I'm not really talking about that.
I visit our office every few months and every time I’m reminded that I enjoy WFH overall despite it obviously being somewhat career limiting (I can’t recall a single person who is remote-only getting a promotion the last 2 years): the office temperature is never right, air con dries out my throat, the acoustics are terrible and salespeople on the phone constantly is hell, the chairs are crap, the monitors are crap, the keyboards are crap, the office is in the middle of nowhere.
>There are still many places where we do not have divided highway and it's just a single lane in each direction but that is slowly and steadily being changed out to a divided 2/3 lanes in each direction setup.

Does this include the TCH? The average American who sees it on a map (or the average Ontarian who never leaves the Windsor-Quebec City belt) assumes that it's like a US interstate, as opposed to in many places traffic lights, private driveways opening onto it, and (as you say) one lane in each direction.

>Having driven all over the eastern half our country and a few places in the western half as well as much of the eastern half of America I much prefer Canada's.

I have heard that Canada's portion of the Alaska Highway is terrible compared to the US portion, presumably because the US portion is held to Interstate standards.

>Counter that to places in America (looking at you Michigan) where driving can feel like it's going to shake the nuts off your car, and then you cross a border into say Ohio and everything is back to normal

Roads in Canada are 100% provincial matters (which is why the TCH isn't like Interstates). I would be surprised if there isn't a Canadian province that is Michigan's equivalent compared to its peers.

> Gender suffixes have always had a gender connotation, because it is plainly what they mean.

no, it isn't what they mean. you might say it's "equally" sexist, but "man" meant "mankind", it meant "person", and woman comes from "wifeman", person who is a wife. So mailman is "person who delivers mail". A good way to think of it is that language is actually neutral. Cultures have ideas and values, and those ideas and values suffuse communication, but the language is just a transport mechanism and will be bent and altered to communicate what people are thinking. But the language, always neutral.

it's similar to the names of native american tribes. There are so many examples of "the Sioux didn't call themselves the Sioux, they called themselves Lakota, their enemies called them the Sioux." What did Lakota mean in Lakotan? It means "the people". Everybody else? they weren't even people. Every native american tribe did that, and probably our own hunter gatherer ancestors did that too.

None of this is cause for concern, it's actually really interesting.
Interesting.

There are economy arguments against using this as quasi-sequential PKs.

For efficient index lookup and sorting, best is to use CPU's native register sizes.
It would be great if the PK would be a DWORD (32 bits) or QWORD (64 bits), one would assume the DB engine will align the access for efficient handling of the L1-L2 caches and prevent page tearing.
This is not true, not with my kids. It gets easier and easier. It is easier and easier to communicate to then what I want and why. And they are responding in more meaningful even ways if they don't want to comply.
we're in violent agreement: the fact that women have options is a good thing.
Men also have more options (e.g. no closeted gay man that marry women just to save appearance) and that is also good.

A side effect of this is lower natality, and planet-wise that is _also_ a good thing, even if some economies will get screwed in the medium term.
