The real sexism against women is the failure to treat motherhood as less valuable/noble than a 9/5 office career. Motherhood, collectively, is the most important job in the world.
> Social science is non-replicable because the parameters are too fuzzy. (People are more diverse than electrons)

Social scientists tolerate their peers who see themselves as agents of change more than as scientists. A Stanford education specialist, who wrote California's new mathematics standards for public schools, framed--among other things--a well-reasoned takedown of one of her papers [1] as personal attacks [2].

Consider the same happening in physics. Paper published. Critique follows. Is there any world where a physicist maintains respectability by ignoring the content of the critique while claiming harassment?

Yet that's not only tolerated in many social sciences, it's the norm. Add to that lucrative consulting gigs, and researchers have a perverse incentive to (a) extrapolate N=2 studies of hung-over undergrads to corporate America and geopolitics and (b) personally attack anyone who dares challenge their premise.

> "In 2021, Ipsos interviewed people in 27 countries spanning all continents on their sexual orientation and gender identity. For some countries the samples were weighed for representativity, but in others with less internet access, they skewed more urban. In this survey, 80% of people worldwide identified as heterosexual, 3% as homosexual, 4% as bisexual, and 1% each as pansexual, asexual, and other. Results indicated that significant differences in sexual identity have emerged between generations across the globe, with the youngest group, or Generation Z, being more likely to identify as bisexual (9%) than Millennials (4%), Generation X (3%) and Boomers (2%). Generation Z and Millennials were also more likely to identify as homosexual, with 4% and 3% doing so respectively, compared to 2% of Generation X and 1% of Boomers."

Microsoft is still a big bad. As is Oracle.

> But that's not possible. Either the gravitons are there, or they aren't. There's not two sets of reality of what particles exist for two different coordinate systems.

No, this is completely false. Particle number is coordinate system and frame dependent.

Quantum particles aren't little billiard balls bouncing around, and it's really best to not think of them as 'particles' at all. They're just a calculational tool to describe excitations in quantum fields.
Thing is, my fvwm config might be short but my setup is (arguably rather more than) a bit esoteric (feel free to declare tl;dr but I may as well get an explanation of my requirements down so I can stuff it in a file somewhere for future reference):

https://trout.me.uk/X11/fvwm2rc https://trout.me.uk/screenshot4.png

That gives me a 3x3 X11 screen of my actual screen size with the laptop screen acting as a scrolling viewport, keyboard shortcuts to jump one screen or one xterm's worth of screen at once (the xterms are launched pre-tiled by a script, I like that layout but I don't get on with tiling window managers) and rely heavily on focus follows mouse to be able to e.g. type into a window that's mostly covered by another one that I'm reading stuff from as I type.

Plus I'm currently running VcXsrv in full screen mode on a Windows 10 install connecting to WSL2 over local TCP, though so long as I can get "Alt-Tab to a full screen session with no windows title bar/etc. taking up space" -somehow- I'm not really tied to the X11 protocol, I'm looking at switching over to RDP anyway (and would accept VNC, I already use that for remoting to Debian and FreeBSD system out on t'internet but the full screen experience tends to be a tad inelegant at least with the client configs I've tried to date).

Now, if those both sound like they's at least -doable- with anything up to, say, a moderate amount of pain with Windows 10 acting as a client to all of WSL2 Debian, a 'real' debian install, and FreeBSD, I'm happy to endure lots of RTFM and some faffing to get there, but last time I tried I ended up at "either this isn't really possible yet or I've completely failed to find the correct FMs to R to figure it out."

If anybody has a minute, a reply to the effect of "yeah, not yet" or "here's what you should've read to realise it is actually possible and not -too- painful so long as you read all of these links carefully" would be appreciated and I'll go do the reading and try and find time to try it out (probably with the FreeBSD system as the thing running the RDP/VNC/whatever server first since I want to move my main firefox instance there) ... but I'm very much aware that my preferences and workflow are kinda weird and there are almost certainly higher ROI things for the relevant contributors to be spending their time on so I'm pretty comfortable with "Wayland should probably be the present or at least near future for most people but I may be staying on X11 for a while yet" as a situation :)

(yes, I know, but it all works for me)
Accident investigations intentionally do not apply blame. Humans are fallible. We make mistakes. If one human makes a mistake, others will too.

The author of the httpie blog post does not apply blame. In fact, he goes out of his way to explain his error, then suggests changes that would have prevented his mistake, to hopefully save others from the same mistake.

So we can blame humans as you seem to want to do, or we can accept human behavior and design our systems to be more forgiving.

cdelsolar at the top of this thread wrote that "I get emails, every single day" and that "It literally drives me crazy."

So what should cdelsolar do? Blame all the humans accidentally deleting their accounts, or find a way to design around it?

I know which approach I would take.

Let me suggest this book btw:

I've been searching for Scrubs for a while now. I don't know if it's due to the country I live or what, but I can't find the whole show to watch.

I saw they have it on Hulu, but the app itself seems like a nightmare.

As I'm writing this post, if I try to log in Hulu I get a message "Something went wrong. Please try again later."

I guess my parents pay for a delivery service here that gives us access to Disney and Star+, but I don't know for sure if Hulu is included in the package. There are so many streaming services now a days that I can't keep track of the ones I have access to anymore.

I've been thinking about going back to torrents sites and trying to get it unofficially;
We can decide to make laws based on the society that we all want to live in. If our objective is maximizing the amount of creative work available to society, it may make sense to say that creators of those works enjoy monopoly on the reproduction and sale of those works, but do not gain the right to deprive society of the works. Some minimum good-faith effort to actually publish the works is a perfectly reasonable requirement on copyright.
Sad to see the Nix team can't get UX right.

The Times' sports journalism is/was the ish.

It was basically the best reporting you could find on sports, which i guess makes sense.

One of the things i liked about it was that it was actually detached, somewhat objective -- the Athletic has said they are PR for the teams they cover -- that's not me saying it, that's them.

Whenever i stumble on an Athletic article, i'll be reading it and then be like...wait, this sucks, this must be from the Athletic, then maybe grudingly finish it.

If i was a paying subscriber i'd be unhappy about this.

sports is not just sports. welp.

Copyright is supposed to strike a balance between creators and the public. That balance has been so distorted as to be unrecognizable today. It needs a reset!
Modern feature flag tooling (eg. LaunchDarkly) cover most of the uses here. It'll even tell you whether flags are useful or not (if you push evaluation data back upstream).
Yes, there are solutions to those problems, but the point is that rustc doesn’t force you to use them. For example, rustc will happily let you write to a file without first ensuring that the process has exclusive write access to the file. It is no safer than Go in this regard.
$150 USD/1946 is about $2,340 USD/2023. Interesting.
Aye, but instead the reality is that copyright can only expire by running out its term. If a company gets acquired, its copyrights get transfered to the new owner. If a company goes out of business, the copyright either gets sold to cover bankrupcy or becomes the property of the people who owned the company. If a person holding a copyright dies, it goes to their heir(s), and finally, if someone dies without heirs, it becomes state property in the US.

The only way for a copyright to expire is either by running out its term, or by the current copyright holder voiding it.

It's such a great system.
Good riddance! I got tired of opening the sports section to find another story about how violent athletes are to their spouses, or how unfair high schools are to transgender women. It seemed like the writers were more concerned about signaling their virtuous views of social issues, laundering their own privileged backgrounds by pretending to care.

Sports writing isn't about human rights or social issues. It is about contention, about struggle. As George Orwell put it,

"Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting."
Of course. Stats say it’s a bad one though
Spoiler alert: a well written application on a beefy server almost always beat the k8s rube Goldberg machines on cost. I still don't get why people refuse to think for themselves and just jump on the latest hype train.

K8s makes little sense unless you run on bare-metal. Once you jump to vms you are injecting another abstraction layer and take on a herculean level of ops without understanding what you're getting into.
Knowing the longitude between yourself and the event is enough information. A sundial is always locally correct as well. This could be calculated in Airplane Mode using only GPS too. Longitude 0 would be the universal clock for network applications.

That's exactly right; I was surprised way back when that Linux wasn't cutting into the Windows marketshare very much at all, despite all the noise and fury coming from Redmond, but it was absolutely decimating big iron UNIX.
That's true. And for new mechanics that don't have their own tools yet, there are vendors like Snap-On that drive tool trucks to different garages will sell them tools on a payment plan. This creates a situation where a person in a new job starts out in the red, being indebted from the start simply because they need new tools.

At least it's not as bad as the gilded age where workers got paid in company-store scrip and lived in company housing in a company-run town. Still, I think it's a step in the wrong direction.

I'm not trying to be dramatic or imply that Canonical's device policy is some act of pure evil, but it was a contributing factor to my decision not to move forward. I have a computer that would serve the purpose just fine. It's more about principles. By itself, that policy wouldn't have been so bad, but combined with other red flags it was enough for me to stay away.

Damn. I haven’t read much of The Athletic (don’t have that subscription level) but I’ve enjoyed NYT sports coverage for forever.

They always seemed to have interesting, subtle, and original takes on whatever they were covering. More “literary” than your typical ESPN or other major network coverage.

On some keyboard layouts, pressing the quote mark starts a modifyer and then depending on the layout the following character is combined with the quote mark. Most English layouts don't include ś in this, but some Eastern European (?) languages use that character more often and so include them in this modifyer shortcut.
I just so happen to be working on that at my company, but sadly we do not seem to be hiring more for this position, and I don't think you'd like how low salaries are in southern Europe.
> "Business-wise, had that bootleg environment not happened, I suspect someone could've made a killing by re-releasing vintage games on current devices."

In many cases, the "legal re-release" is leveraging the technology that was used to emulated the games in "less than legal" situations. For example, GOG wraps DOS games with DOSBox, which is how we in the (illegal) abandonware community used to run them anyway.

Another thing to consider: back in the 2000's or so when I discovered abandonware, almost nobody was legally wrapping the games I wanted to play. I wanted to play them back then; now I have no interest. So the illegal abandonware way was the right way for me. Who cares what would eventually happen 10 or 20 years later? I wanted to play the games then.

Luckily on the XBOX you could at least play some older titles you might've never played pretty easily. PlayStation in that regard is, as far as I know, still lacking. The only console I've considered worthwhile for this generation is the Switch.

- "Vital" and "crucial" both indicate a required element.

- "Key" and "important" both indicate notable elements.

- "Key" can also be used to indicate a required element, i.e. "keystone", however it is not always used in this way.

- "Key" can also be used to indicate "there is only one" though it is not always used in this way.

When "key" is meant as "singular & required & notable" it probably carries the most weight of all these words. However, since it is not always used in that way, I personally tend to give it less weight.

In casual use I would order them like this (strongest to weakest): crucial, vital, key, important.

In formal use I would order them like this (strongest to weakest): key, vital, crucial, important.

Thanks, and great you brought up convex.dev. I really like the product.

Here're a few key differences:

- ZenStack (MIT) and Prisma (Apache-2.0) are open-source, convex announced the plan to open up, but most of it seems still close-source.

- Convex is a hosted service with a built-in relational database. ZenStack requires you to have a separately hosted database - the benefit is that you can use any supported database type and choose from many hosters.

- Schema is optional for convex.dev, but mandatory for ZenStack. Not requiring a schema may speed up initial prototyping, but you'll almost always need one when your app goes beyond a toy, and adding it at a later stage may cause inconsistency.

- Authorization is the user's responsibility when using convex - you define queries as JS/TS functions and should implement access control in those. ZenStack promotes modeling authorization declaratively inside data schema, so you can centralize them - easier to manage and evolve down the road.

In short, convex.dev makes it easy for you to write serverless functions to access databases. ZenStack focuses first on providing an access-control-enabled database client and, based on that, gives you an automatic API layer.

My apologies for the long answer. Just trying to cover every important aspect .

It's bizarre that companies aren't just selling the roms for classic arcade games that are otherwise completely unmonetized. There's an audience that would happily pay money just to be able to legally do what they are already doing with emulators and homemade arcade cabinets.
I'll either ignore it or wait until somebody else accesses it and copies the text or takes a screenshot. If nobody does, it's because it's not important enough and I probably don't need to know about it.
Is your company still up and running? No rights, unless the company explicitly voids the copyright.

Did you go out of business but you didn't sell the copyright? No rights, unless you personally void the copyright.

Did you die, but did you have (legal) heirs? No rights, because copyright is inherited.

Are you a US citizen and you died without legal heirs? Still no rights, because (and this is the most insane one) your assets become state property and copyright is considered an asset.

The only two ways consumers will be free to distribute that first game is either by the clock running out on the copyright, or by whoever is the copyright holder explicitly legally voiding the copyright before then.
Yes he does, there are tonnes of articles about the CO2 emissions, at the end of the day the only reason this is interesting is because Musk was so thin skinned (and hypocritical) about the whole situation that this became news. It's probably one of the best examples of Musk creating a problem out of nothing. No one cares about Zuck's private jet, because at the end of the day he's done a fantastic job of being extremely boring.

According to the actual paper that introduced the distinction, and adjusting for change of terminology in the last 50 years, a type-1 hypervisor runs in kernel space and a type-2 hypervisor runs in user space. x86 is not virtualizable by a type-2 hypervisor, except by software emulation of the processor.

What actually can change is the amount of work that the kernel-mode hypervisor leaves to a less privileged (user space) component.

Not sure that's true. You're assuming altruism has no failure modes or pathologies. I know plenty of people whose altruism is driven by various anxieties and neuroses, which makes them vulnerable to exploitation, at the very least. A whole society of altruists could easily be very fragile and thus vulnerable to the slightest defector or adversary (cf. Galaxy Quest).

> is your proposal to do the same thing, but the expectation is that people work noon-4 to noon+4, or something like that?

Yes. Rather than using solar noon at one day, we can look up an average solar noon time. It should give a better idea how people would plan their day. I understand that schedules will be different at different locations, but then 9 to 5 also has that much variation from location to location.
