The spectrum means that for sports involving strength, at the highest levels of competition women that are most like men will dominate. That’s what we are observing.

Whether it’s fair or not is for the armchair philosophers.

There is more to it than just time. If your app is customer facing (or even worse, runs on your customer's own resources), high latency and general slowness is a great way to make your users hate it. That can cost a lot more than few days of developer time for optimization.
You offer criticism of a spiritual practice you do not understand.

Overclocking is cool, but you can't do that on most commercial projects.
"Making a significant number of posts (47 out of 177) to a discussion of a change to bylaws, "which created an atmosphere of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, which encouraged increasingly emotional responses from other community members.""

So other people got emotional and violated the coc? Sounds like their fault.

"Defending 'reverse racism' and 'reverse sexism', concepts not backed by empirical evidence, which could be seen as deliberate intimidation or creating an exclusionary environment."

So, someone was probably being racist and sexist towards white people and men, and he called them out on it, and this was a code of conduct violation? Anyone involved in this organization is at massive reputational risk.

"Dismissing unacceptable behavior of others as a 'neurodivergent' trait, which is problematic because it creates a stereotype that neurodivergent people are hard to interact with and need special treatment."

Was this about stallman?

It's hard to believe any of the other accusations when these are in there. Maybe some are true, impossible to say when these are included, it just looks like someone with impaired judgement who may be widly misinterpreting reality.

I'm reasonably sure that countries like France will sign a treaty to not allow spoofed numbers in this way. They don't want to be a source of scams anyway and so will do their part to prevent them. The details of this matter of course, but France should be an easy automatically opt-in. (I picked France because I can spell it, there are several dozen others that I'm confident can be in the automatic opt-in list as nothing from them is a scam)

Learning a Language When You're Bad at Learning Languages
Documenting Your Database Schema
I think database schema docs are really valuable, so much so that I added tests that require docs for each table and column. But I still got asks that the docs needed more information, mostly from data science people (who otherwise need to go bug engineers, or end up writing bugs in their own SQL). So I wrote internal guidelines for documenting database tables, and eventually that became this blog post

Not parent commenter; I believe that any sport which looks at gender/sex is undeniably sexist, this includes the Olympic games which are by far the most blatant and prominent examples.

True equality can only be achieved by not considering if someone is a man, woman, or whatever they might want to classify as. Lump everyone together, equal opportunities given, and may the best man as in mankind win.

And no, don't give me "Women will almost always lose!". That is sexist bullshit. Equality is equality, we can't have our cake and eat it too. There is no line to be drawn.

I guess this is fine as a hypothetical discussion, but considering that the 1) the IOC no longer recognizes the International Boxing Association, because it has had major issues, and 2) the claims put out by the IBA have been very inconsistent and may be politically motivated, I don't think it's good to even assume that the current allegations have any basis in any sort of physical condition.
I live in the USA, and while I don't want to share where I live, let's just say electricity is not cheap. I used to run a homelab but had to downsize partly due to how expensive electricity is.

Worst part, the building I live in wouldn't benefit from solar enough to justify getting panels.
I will when I get a break. I'll bring-up our old RP2040 project and see what has changed.

I remember we had to use either VSC or PyCharm (can't remember which) in conjunction with Thonny to get a workable process. Again, it has been a few years and we switched the product to STM32, forgive me if I don't recall details. I think the issue was that debug communications did not work unless we used Thonny (which nobody was interested in touching for anything other than a downloader).

BTW, that project used MicroPython. That did not go very well. We had to replace portions of the code with ARM assembler for performance reasons, we simply could not get efficient communications with MicroPython.

Thanks again. Very much a fan. I mentored our local FRC robotics high school team for a few years. Lots of learning by the kids using your products. Incredibly valuable.
I have been following the advice of others more knowledgeable than me when buying AI-S lenses off of eBay, and I have to say that even on the D850, all of them have performed surprisingly well.

However, I'd really like more "arty" lenses with AF. MF causes me to lose a lot of shots I wish I'd nailed.
I should have left the SPLC parts out because the rest is enough on it's own and you are all focusing on it so you can ignore the rest.

Also I don't understand the argument of calling it "partisan crusades" while sending me conservative Christian sources.
Thanks for mentioning Langroid[1], I am the lead architect/dev. We are starting to see companies use it in production after evaluating alternative frameworks, whether agent-oriented or not.

We started building Langroid in early 2023 after finding existing frameworks lacking in terms of good dev-ex, extensibility and clarity of code. We prioritize code transparency, flexibility, stability, good test coverage. We designed it to be agent-oriented from the start, with an elegant agent orchestration mechanism loosely inspired by various paradigms such as Blackboard Architectures, Actor Model, and Production systems, and process calculi. But as you said, Langroid is useful even if you want to just use a single LLM conversation-state.

The management sets the company dynamics to whatever they want.

That idea of costs and profit centers is bullshit that only bad manager believe in. It may or may not be the case with the one company of the OP, we don't nearly enough information to judge.

(But the fact that the OP is reaching into IT with the goal of improving their people's productivity is a very weak indication that they are better than that.)
The Secret Life of (JavaScript) Objects
Parler TTS v1
You are correct, I was oversimplifying to get the point across. Valhalla is one of the most promising upcoming technologies I am anticipating, but I don't expect it to change the approach to writing most Java programs.

What makes Java so good is that it is a language written for creating high quality libraries and frameworks. Sure, it will be nice to define your own zero-cost classes but the largest benefit will stem from improved an standard library as well as an enabler for high-performance programming and GPU access.
Its a difficult challenge to try to define for someone else what their balance of risk and reward should be. I can say that it is hard for me to imagine deciding to risk this journey, but I wouldn't tell someone else they shouldn't.

The problem, as I see it, has nothing to do with whether people should make this journey or how much immigration is "enough" immigration. The underlying problem is the imbalance between entitlement programs and immigration. Entitlement programs create an incentive to be inside the country's borders that doesn't otherwise exist.

Both politicians and most media outlets have done a great job focusing discussion and debate on symptoms rather than root cause, that may have been intentional or unintentional. We can run in circles debating who and how many we want to allow to immigrate legally. That debate will never end when its based entirely on personal opinion.

A country with any entitlement programs has to control their borders at limit immigration. An interesting question is what to do when borders and immigration can't be controlled effectively. In that scenario, can the country continue to have entitlement programs without government debt spiralling out of control?

This is just getting worser and worser. Boeing needs to get its shit in place or stop doing moon shots. Imagine if this happens on mars, #BringbackBoeing
Scope? How about we talk about thoroughness instead?
Boeing need to stop being given contracts, from the Starliner issues on top of the various scandals with the quality control of their planes, it's clear to see they have no value in human life.
I'm afraid you are right. But I believe some programming language communities suffer from a great deal more than others (looking at you Python).
Ideally? As human as you want, whatever that may mean. Not as human as you're forced to be, or as inhuman as the economy or social forces push you to be...

There are many and varied problems we'll be facing. I just don't think "Immortality without any of the supporting technologies" is one of them.
I use Chrome and Firefox extensively all day, every day on my M1 Mac. Firefox for personal, and Chrome for work because I like to keep things separate.

To me there is no meaningful performance difference.

If you are using "performance" as an excuse for using Chrome, I suggest that you stop doing that and take another look at Firefox or Safari.

However: even if Chrome was 2x faster, it would not be worth handing the web to Google.
How's the share price?
I don't want an exception - there is too much potential for someone innocent to be framed and attacked. I want the FBI and CIA to be given more funding to track this down. Sometimes the CIA will need to attack scammers like this because there is no diplomatic option, but not random people outside of them. (The FBI being limited to the US should take everything to court)

too big to fail for airlines/ space companies. It is crazy how this has played out and its just like not even considered in the larger picture of their airplanes falling out of the sky.
Even if they modify the code it's no issue, the simply need to provide their modifications to any users. GPL and AGPL are explicitly not intended to ever harm commercial interests, only to prevent certain ways of harming end users (by denying them source).
The BBC article doesn't seem to claim that there is no genetic advantage. I learned from it that there is some gray area in biological gender.

It may very well be that after this Olympics, the IOC will have to draw some arbitrary line (e.g., if you are a female with testosterone-sensitive Y chromosome, then you can't compete with females).

It is possible that the top athletes in many sports have a yet to be discovered rare genetic condition that allows their body to recover faster, gives them faster twitch muscles and supreme mental focus. That's certainly a genetic advantage.
This is obviously not ideal, but it's also an example of "don't let perfect be the enemy of good."

If you care about the web, avoiding a browser monoculture is of the utmost importance.
I've learned to leave hackers and scammers alone; no matter how much they piss me off.

Most of them are quite capable of delivering a nasty counterattack. Some, IRL.

Dependency rationalizes itself with acceleration of death rates.
> Anti-competitive conduct is illegal.

Why are so many mergers and acquisitions allowed to go through then? Either the law isn't phrased this way, the DOJ ignores the law, or we need to write new legislation.
If you're referencing the posted article, that is absolutely not what we're "observing" right now, that claim is political propaganda from the American right-wing. Khelif is not trans.
The report included several recommendations, including levying “financial penalties for Boeing’s noncompliance with quality control standards.” The inspector general said, however, that NASA decided not to introduce any kind of financial discipline.
I don't know how you can call Android, a Free and Open Source OS, "underhanded" in comparison to it's competition. For Christ's sake; Apple is currently fighting the EU over whether or not they have the right to charge developers for using hyperlinks.
I don't know if you're being sarcastic, which if you are: heh.

But to the point, if you're going to build a distributed system, you need tools to track problems across the distributed system that also works across teams. A poorly performing service could be caused by up/downstream components and doing that without some kind of tracing is hard even if your stack is linear.

The same is true for a giant monolithic app, but the sophisticated tools are just different.
I've had the experience of something being more enjoyable as a Child, less because of the time period and more because the nature of the art just worked better for who/what I was at the time

Several other components of solar investment cost, beside land cost, scale with nr of panels. (Installation work, scaffolding, transport logistics, wiring, etc)
This assumes that both they are unwilling to provide users with access to whatever changes they make, and also that they are definitely going to comply with your license without being sued multiple times.
> No one would believe or understand the places I went with that car, but I know. Electric drive is just superior, end of story.

Yes, I've taken my Model 3 to some real stupid places. I've always been impressed. Electric drive has 100% torque at 0 RPM and instant throttle response - makes getting unstuck far too easy.
Just out of curiosity, is there any other modern system or service that anyone here can think of, where anyone in their right might would brag about migrating to it in less than a year?
That's a bit of an extreme example though. Its fair to assume people will know dogs need to breath air. It isn't fair to assume that people will be aware of economic and political history of Denmark and Finland. The GP comments also don't include enough information, in my opinion, for a person who is interested to easily search for information to fill in the blanks themselves.

As long as the rest of world is accessing shared media, there is no way around this. Keeping these things from the kid will mean a lifetime of references and metaphors they don’t understand.

In general I think it’s harder than it was 20 years ago. The monoculture is basically dead. Instead of everyone having the choice of the same 3 TV shows on Friday night, there is an endless number of options on streaming services or YouTube, not to mention games, Twitch, etc. However, having something will at least allow them to to have a connection with a peer group who was in the same niche, and other things have grown big enough to transcend some of that, like Mr Beast and Mark Rober for example. I think a lot of people, even outside the core audience have seen the videos and know who they are.

This doesn’t need to be the center of culture, but awareness of it still helps round someone out.

To touch on religion… In the US, even if someone isn’t a Christian, I think it is still extremely helpful to be aware of the stories and traditions of Christianity. It is such a huge part of the culture and there are references all over the place that would be missed without this knowledge.

The only time these things wouldn’t be useful is, like you said, in some kind of small religious community they will never leave, or a cult.
I'm not sure there's anything wrong with the rule. It's easy to understand by everyone and doesn't require any additional level of testing of certification.

Realistically, people who regularly drive on these types of trails want a proper 4WD system. Not just for the "locking diff", but for the other capabilities that tend to come with a "proper" 4WD car.

Beyond "hard" capabilities, AWD torque vectoring tears roads up. The torque vectoring essentially requires the tires to spin before it will kick in. That doesn't happen in a "locked" 4wd system.
Adding Color and Sound to the Tetractys
You need one person who is ultimately responsible for decision making. They take input, decide when they’ve received enough input, stop the debate, and then they make decisions.
That is not true. What we are seeing is people using an identity to gain unsportspersonlike advantages in sport competition.
> Do people just pull random numbers out of their ass with no actual experience?

That’s a weird question to ask someone who stated their relevant experience in the first sentence of their comment. I just looked him up on LinkedIn and it checks out, you can do the same.

If you have substantive objections to what he wrote, perhaps it’s better to state them explicitly? You seem to say that the figure he suggested is based on developers being based in a very expensive location, and therefore not generalizable.

What numbers have you come up with that contradict his?
I’m advocating for vendor diversity through market action, not government intervention. That’s what made this situation likely in the first place: requirements for a particular type of security software provided by only a few vendors.
Sounds like you want the MPL family
Theoretically also possible with horizontal tabs.
If it is China the US probably can touch them - China is afraid of a trade war and so once presented evidence of who is at fault China will stop it. (so long as evidence doesn't exist China might know and perhaps even encourage it, but once evidence exists they will stop this). It is probably but not a sure thing.

If they are in Russia or North Korea there is nothing the US can do (other than CIA or military operations) and so the scammers will get away with it.
It's much more than people "just losing some money", anyone who ever had anything stolen from them, or have been broken into can tell you that.

I'm speechless that they were able to reach that number of victims without consequences. Reeks of a lack of oversight, will, power or coordination on behalf of the investigators. I wonder which reasons they give.

Gifting a bit of existential fear to those scammers might not hurt, since they force it on thousands of others.
I made a similar tool for making tables of contents for youtube videos: https://youtoc.by/

Yes!

You end up with binding when you turn. At best, the wheels either slip or "crow hop". At worse, you can destroy the transmission.
BTW Elon Musk space program was not first commercial program. Before him exists at least one program with sounding rockets and one with mega-cannon.

Unfortunately, Western governments for understandable reasons fear to accept 3rd world countries to develop such programs, because of non-proliferation of mass destruction weapons. So, when programs eventually moved to 3rd world countries (due to lack of interest in developed countries), Western governments used brute force to cancel them.

> We should be as exactly horrified as we are by the fact the US dropped convential high explosives and incendaries on civilians.

And we should be exactly as horrified for what the Japanese did to mainland China. Or the fact that they allied themselves with one of the greatest genocides in history. We should be exactly as horrified at what the alternative was, which was hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of casualties that would have been caused by a conventional invasion just to get that country to stop doing what it was doing.
For today's compilers they have something that compiles very slowly and they want the type safety checks because those are the ones the kernel developers use. That answers the original question doesn't it?

If a new compiler extension was proposed and implemented and released in both llvm and gcc, some years after that they could drop support. But there would be no real imperative to drop support early since they will already have developed some code that works okay on those toolchains.

Octal PSRAM usually cannot fallback to quad mode like some octal flash did.
Hypothetically, if a private citizen bricked the ISS, what would my consequences be?
Because people are beholden to costs and it's often out of our hands when to spend money on redundancy (or opportunity costs elsewhere).

It's less true today when redundancy is baked into SaS products (like AWS Aurora, where even if you have a single database instance, it's easy to spin up a replacement one if the hardware on the one running fails).

Prices played a big part, but also people went back to their regular places.

I wonder if people just being trained to eat processed garbage is also a thing. Even the National Nutritional guidelines sold out to lobbying and put Dairy in their recommendations, whereas Canada which had a similar guideline excluded Dairy entirely.
