Many intelligent people like having intelligent conversations. The kind of conversations where they learn new perspectives and where ideas can be challenged. If those conversations are not possible you get stuck making small talk, which is not all that satisfying.

Ever notice how SAHPs get starved for adult conversation? Parents have many things in common with their children and they care about their lives. They can certainly connect to their children. And yet, interaction with kids is not a substitute for adult conversation.
Lack of bioavailability analysis and links between processed meat and cancer are fears... of the established scientific community.
The point you’re making is that some cultures devalue educational achievement and success? So much so that we should expect to see members of those cultures disproportionately lacking access to opportunity because they “don’t want it?”
ICANN is at best an embarrassment of an organization. At worst, completely captured by corporate interests. Maybe both. For a multi-stake holder organization, they seem pretty intent on disregarding all opinions that ever get submitted to them. They ignored thousands of opinions on .ORG bullshit (99% opposing it). Their 'summary' of comments are a mockery of analysis, if not an outright lie.
> Myself the truly distasteful part is the use of neotame (a follow-on to aspartame) on animal feed, to get animals to eat feed that they normally would not; for instance, if the feed is rancid or otherwise in a condition/taste that normal animal instincts, would have the animal reject the food...

What's the difference between that and humans eating a pizza but not eating the raw ingredients of a pizza? If it's not inedible anymore I don't see the issue...

The Mandal Commission in 1980 determined the fraction of OBCs to be 50%, a later sample survey in 2006 showed it to be around 40%, [0] current reservation policies for this category are around 30%.

The Indian Census of 2011 shows that SC/ST category accounts for roughly 25% of the population. [1]

I agree with people making the point that these designations have now been used as a political tool, and that sometimes cases arise where people fake credentials. But to claim that they are a lower population is absurd, given that SC/ST/OBC would account for more than 50% of the population.

But it could be cultural. All the facts point to that being the cause. If there is so much racism against black people how could Nigerians and Carribean Blacks be some of the most prosperous ethnic groups in the US?
"Well, if we follow the meritocratic ideology that everyone has the same opportunities available to them, it would be a natural conclusion" - no, there's always endogenous interactions. Protected class identity isn't randomized.

"There is nothing that inherently causes a specific skin color or gender to have the ability to capitalize on an opportunity." The word "inherently" is doing all the work here by making acknowledgement of endogeneity look bigoted. But whether any of the thousands of factors that produce an outcome are "inherent," whatever that means, is irrelevant. You should always expect endogenous interactions if you haven't used a methodology that prevents it, like randomized blind experiments, difference in difference, instrumental variables, etc.
I'm frankly not concerned about the 0.1% that can afford to fly to another country for experimental treatments. The US is the primary place for this anyway, so if the US went universal healthcare route, that shrinks the pool even further.
The challenge you have here is that aspartame isn't just one of most widely studied substances in the food chain, but that it's also one of the most widely and vigorously consumed. People drink a lot of diet soda; a lot of people drink it to the exclusion of all other liquids. So it's going to be tricky to get the epidemiology to match up with the claim here: if aspartame is meaningfully carcinogenic (meaning: more than by the trace amounts all sorts of other things in the food supply are, from small quantities of mold due to spoilage to acrylamide forming in almost anything we cook), we'd expect to see a pretty obvious effect in case rates.

The article mentions a French study showing a "slight" increase, over 100,000 pts, in an observational study that used self-reporting to control for other risk factors. I can't find it; has anyone else?
Sorry but why are these people still putting their dollars in the hands of Musk at twitter at this point in time? You're asking for trouble.
It’s a part of the equation because the Equation is so designed to be against it by the variables that are included and excluded.

I promise if you spend even an iota of time digging into this you will find some meaningful substance that resonates wi the buoy without asking other (indirectly or unintentionally) to do your mental labour for you and to your satisfaction to be convinced otherwise.

This itself is an example of the type of variables and equations that exist that seem second nature because of how they are conditioned into most people from a young age without awareness.

Have you cross-referenced that? What I saw was that the lowest economic quintiles of some groups committed less crime than the wealthiest quintiles of other groups. The "economic" in "socio-economic" is important, but so is the "socio", which may include being discriminated against in the past.

Unfortunately, statistics don't really bear out a lot of popular claims about the impact of poverty. For example, per-student funding does not make as big a difference in academic performance in schools as demographics and the local social environment: there are a lot of schools with bottom barrel funding that perform great and schools with exorbitant funding that perform miserably. And family income is not the strongest predictor of SAT scores.

Yes, but people haven't been using it incorrectly for long enough for it to be considered acceptable, by the very citation you've given:

> This does raise the question of why we don't enter this sense of jive, even though we have evidence of its use since the 1940s. [...] So far, neither jive nor gibe as substitutions for jibe has this kind of record [literally hundreds of years], but it seems possible that this use of jive will increase in the future, and if it does dictionaries will likely add it to the definition.
It is a win for me not to auto-update, as Termux is very precious (to me) and I would hate to see it lose more functionality or completely stop working.

I don't disagree with you, but I've always found it wrong that in a lot of cases of academic affirmative action, it's Asians who are absorbing the cost of making things right, when they are definitely not responsible for any of the wrongs done.

Most of the time we'll not need to write any code and then we'll work on refining some really important pieces of code using increasingly advanced tools.

Being able to verify that generated code does exactly what it's supposed to do will be incredibly important. Perhaps that's an obvious statement. Perhaps the code for verifying things will be the only code worth looking at.
A neophyte wants to make a thing that -does- something, but part of the idea of Racket's Language Oriented Programming thing is to increase the subset of somethings for which throwing together a quick DSL makes for easier/nicer code.

I've not watched a relative neophyte try and actually -do- that so I can't comment on how far they've got with it, but making "creating DSLs" approachable seems like a really interesting thing to be aiming for.
In practice it's not that much. I think our Envoy sidecars take, maybe, 8mb of RAM when the apps are usually 500-1000MB. They usually add afaik <1ms latency. In addition, you can implement client side load balancing through Envoy so you can hit your services directly without intermediary load balancers.

It adds complexity with the side car but usually you get standardized RED metrics regardless of if the service implemented them.

You can also have the sidecar do connection pooling and maintain persistent or long lived TCP connections which ends up speeding things up without doing that at the app level.

I think this is one of those things where you might think that, and the numbers might show it, and yet if you remove it human nature will surprise you. People expect to be able to find and share everything, including the long tail of their interests. If they suddenly can't, they'll look for alternatives. In the case of Google, there are a lot of alternatives and while Google just keeps getting worse, the alternatives are better then ever.

Even if a person only searches for news items a few times a month, if they suddenly can't do that, they'll just go find an alternative search engine.
> I don't know if in modern times, this could be reasonably achieved through compositing

Evidently it can, as Wayland does it, but the result is pretty mediocre.
Ahh, the naturalist fallacy. But the natural substitutes for artificial sweeteners are markedly worse for you, and more primitive, less industrial cooking and food preparation techniques often can be as well.
These are good points. I think a compelling argument can be made towards the admixture of the best and brightest with the daughters and sons of the rich and famous. Net net, I think that the opportunities provided to the best and brightest from exposure to, and friendship with the offspring of the spectacularly rich is why schools and network spun out of Harvard have generated such an effective flywheel effect over the generations. Granting access and pedigree to society's elite by a school isn't purely a vocational exercise - and the social element is why the Ivies and Oxbridge have thrived so spectacularly.

The second the steam client drops its 32bit legacy code and finally has a wayland backend, I start to code my wayland compositor (probably based on the drm/vulkan one from valve deck).

That said, be careful, one of the big mistakes from x11 was those bazillions of libs with their quite not stable ABI/API to deal with, the wlroots lib from this article _must_ stay private/static for a wayland program!

Yep, this is known as McNamara Fallacy - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McNamara_fallacy
> The phrase "natural aligned" has no meaning in that context.

The phrase “naturally aligned” as I’m accustomed to seeing it used refers to the alignment of a power-of-two-sized type (usually a scalar one) being equal to its size. Unless you’re working with, say, 18-bit or 24-bit integers (that do exist in obscure places), it does have a meaning, and unless you’re using non-eight-bit bytes that meaning is fairly universal (and if you’re not, your I/O is probably screwed up in hard-to-predict ways[1]).

At least for your items 2, 3, and 4—excluding Java and C# which are not relevant to TFA about C and are likely to use manual packing code—you have, let’s see,

- The bytes are eight bits wide, and ASCII byte strings have their usual meaning;

- The integer types are wraparound unsigned and two’s complement signed least-endian with no padding bits or trap representations and come in 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit sizes and identical alignments;

- The floating-point types are IEEE 754 single and double precision floats, little endian, respectively 32 bits and 64 bits in size and of identical alignment, though you should probably avoid relying on subnormals or the exact choice of NaNs;

- Structures and unions have the alignment requirement of their most strictly aligned member;

- The members of a structure are laid out at increasing offsets, with each member starting at the earliest offset permitted by its alignment (while the members of a union all start at offset zero as the standard requires);

- The structure or union is then padded at the end so that its alignment divides its size.

If you avoid extended precision and SIMD types, the default ABI settings should get you completely compatible layouts here. (On an earlier ARM you might’ve run into mixed-endian floats, but not on any Cortex flavour.) Even bitfields would be entirely fine, except Microsoft bloody Windows had to be stupid there.

Honestly the only potential problem is 1, an unspecified 8-bit controller, and that only because the implicit integer promotions of standard C make getting decent performance out of those a bit of a crapshoot, leading to noncompliant hacks like 8-bit ints or 48-bit long longs. Still, if the usual complement of 8/16/32/64-bit integers is available, the worst you’re likely to have to do is spell out any structure padding explicitly.

I'm not familiar with Stormfront. I did some hasty research and it appears it's a bulletin board infamous for hateful speech. You, and the population at large, are free to either ignore it or sign up and drown out the hate with messages of peace and love.

I do not believe a publisher is responsible for messages of hate anymore than they are for messages of love. Even if Don Black created Stormfront specifically to host hateful user content, this does not make him responsible because it's ultimately the individual who creates their account and posts their hate. If proper parenting, education, and culture were in place, Stormfront would have zero users signing up.

To bring the point home: I do not believe Facebook should be responsible if users post inflammatory content. Humans have been waging war and spewing hate from the beginning. To imply that Facebook - an over the hill social network - is responsible is laughably idiotic. The individual must accept responsibility and the culture that produced them must do better.
I'm also a Postbox user and quite happy so far but I don't know if I would recommend it. Development seems to have stopped and Thunderbird is making good progress on the redesign.
It would be quite illustrative to have had the same experiment run in the late 19th/early 20th century with southern Italian and Irish peasant names.

imagine when they bring business people to write workflows cause "it's just plain english" and the look on their faces when things don't "quite" work the way they expect it to and have no clue how to debug. Then they have to create an IT support ticket to figure out how to write a SQL statement.

I'm endlessly amused by the fact that among the first applications of LLMs were tools to summarise emails, accompanied by tools to write your emails based on a short description of what you want to say. So soon we'll effectively be communicating by text message, with the LLMs acting as a sort of anti-compression in between.

My brother lives in Japan, and he recently had to write a lot of emails to the company renovating his apartment. He said that ChatGPT was a lifesaver there since at least 75% of semi-formal (i.e. between customer and company) Japanese emails is formality and filler. He just skipped all of that and ChatGPT wrote it for him.
At what point do we just move on...?

Seems pretty clear IBM is hostile to anyone using RHEL source to repackage an OS from, so anyone using a RHEL derivative is putting themself at risk.

Highly unlikely. File hashing can be used to easily check for this.
A bit of background (from an unlikely source). The Tl;DR:

\* Group 1: carcinogenic (this includes cigarettes, the HPV viruses that cause cervical cancer, and ionizing radiation)

\* Group 2A: probably carcinogenic (this includes red meat, hot beverages, and working as a hairdresser)

\* Group 2B: possibly carcinogenic (this is the group aspartame reportedly may end up in)

\* Group 3: not classifiable

\* Group 4: probably not carcinogenic (this list contains zero items; a chemical called caprolactam was previously on it, but was moved to group 3)

These are not designations of cancer *risk*, but of *the chance that there is a detectable link of some kind*.

Germany has paid reparations to Polish individuals harmed by the second world war.

> In the meantime, Poland and Germany concluded several treaties and agreements to compensate Polish persons who were victims of German aggression. In 1972, West Germany paid compensation to Poles that had survived pseudo-medical experiments during their imprisonment in various Nazi camps during the Second World War.[35] In 1975, the Gierek-Schmidt agreement was signed in Warsaw. It stipulated that 1.3 billion DM was to be paid to Poles who, during Nazi occupation, had paid into the German social security system but received no pension.[36] In 1992, the Foundation for Polish-German Reconciliation was founded by the Polish and German governments, and as a result, Germany paid Polish sufferers approximately zl 4.7 billion (equivalent to zl 37.8 billion or US$7.97 billion in 2022[citation needed]). Between 1992 and 2006, Germany and Austria jointly paid compensation to surviving Polish, non-Jewish victims of slave labour in Nazi Germany and also to Polish orphans and children who had been subject to forced labour.[37] The Swiss Fund for the Victims of the Holocaust (which had obtained settlement money from banks in Switzerland) used some of its funds to pay compensation between 1998 and 2002 to Polish Jews and Romani who were victims of Nazi Germany.[37]

Germany also ceded around 20% of its pre-1938 territory to Poland. The ethnic Germans who lived in those territories were subsequently denied citizenship and expelled. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bierut_Decrees)

I'm not really sure that there's anything more to settle between the two countries in 2023.
