> This may indicate that the developers of GoldenHowl are Russian speakers.

Journalists need to check their biases and ensure that everything they write is balanced. When mentioning that they might be Russian speakers, a good balancing sentence would be to point out countries which use the Russian language. Just throwing in "Russian speaker" after explicitly stating they're not sure which nation state did this is extremely unprofessional.

Sure, mention all the facts. Don't try to interpret them as "clues". If you have to, make sure you're not building a narrative without being absolutely sure.

Its not good journalism to go from `transport_http` to indicating that this is an attack by the Russian federation. That's not how you do good journalism. How many people will retain the fact that the author does NOT know which, if any, nation state did this?

Racism is embedded in every culture to some extent. As always it depends on the details.
Pakistani’s are almost always Muslim (due to Partition [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India]), and will often act and speak differently in several telltale ways for anyone who knows what to look for. Both given and family/surnames are also often telltales.

And if you think Casteism is a bitch, Pakistani/Indian (or Indian Hindu vs Indian Muslim) is a bitch and a half. Just try to apply for a visa for India and see how many times they ask if you or any of your relatives are from Pakistan to get a taste.

Edit: ooh, downvotes away. Hah! No better way to tell when you hit a nerve than the torches come out.
Having been part of many such hiring initiatives, it hasn't ever panned out in any of my data. It means that everyone needs to be less of a shithead (because folks are no longer broadly homogenous), which makes everything a lot more bearable. The work is the same, but the people are better to each other. It's not that surprising everything ends up working better a year or two later.
I am not the one throwing around the word "native" casually. To cite your example, Salt Lake City was founded less than 200 years ago whereas Puebloans have been living in the area for several thousands of years.

You can certainly make a claim that Mormon culture is "native" to Utah, but I think at 200 v/s 5000+ you can expect that claim to be contested.
Another money-driven ignorant comment.

Unless we radically change what "ai" is (right now, it's just a prediction engine based on our own published knowledge, so at best, it can only come up with average results), "ai" won't save us from anything.

And yes, I put "ai" in quotes because the 'a' part is correct, but the 'i' leaves much to be desired.
I wrote about this in another comment, but I've typically found that public US companies hiring a majority of Indian/Indian-origin staff seem to perform (in market cap terms) on par with companies have just 10% of their total employee headcount.

The nature of scientific work has changed significantly since 1895, when the Nobel Prizes were established. 100 years ago, lots of scientific work really were driven forward largely by a singular person. That's rarely true today for groundbreaking research. I don't know if this means the Nobel needs to change or we need a another prize that reflects the collaborative work of modern science.
AlphaFold 2 wasn't Q-learning based. It was supervised SGD and the "evoformer" they introduced is very close to a transformer. So it's not exactly an LLM, but it's a pretty close equivalent for protein data.

I mean maybe your colleagues follow suit about eating Indian food because Indian food is delicious? "Hey you guys know a good Indian food place around here - that's great!" would be my response.
Local state is indeed a problem that's exacerbated by swapping logic. Simple example: you have a form + a collapsible block inside or maybe a dynamic set of inputs (imagine you're adding items to a catalog and you want to allow to submit more than one). If you save the form and simply swap the html the block state will be reset. Ofc you could set the toggle state somewhere to pass it along to the backend, but that's a pain already compared to spa approach where you don't even bother with that since no state is reset.

You could you query string as mentioned in the article, but that's not really convenient when done in a custom way for every single case.

Having said that I think that a way to go could be a community effort to settle on the ways to handle different ui patterns and interactions with some bigger project to serve as a testing ground. And that includes backend part too, we can look at what rails does with turbo

My opinion is that htmx (and similar) approach is different enough to potentially require a different set of ui interactions and it usually hurts when one tries to apply react friendly interactions to it.
It does make the first speculation a whole lot less plausible though
> The Nobel prize is aimed at the general public...

Which is okay. The Nobel prize is okay.

> This way, at least once a year, the everyday layperson hears about scientific discoveries.

Spot on.

The problem we have is that the everyday layperson hears very little about scientific discoveries. The scientists themselves, one in a million of them, can get a Nobel prize. The rest, if they are lucky, get a somewhat okay salary. Sometimes better than that of a software engineer. Almost always worse working hours.

But I suppose it's all for the best. Imagine a world where a good scientist, one that knows everything about biology and protein folding, gets to avoid cancer and even aging, while the everyday layperson can only go to the doctor...
Any reservations, ultimately, are doomed to fail as they just foster the exact same type of cronyism with the fractal levels of definitions of castes/reservations. Reservations in general encourage it, as someone has to decide who is ‘in’ the group, and that is never merit based.

Ultimately, blind meritocracy is the only option - but that is also extremely difficult to do. See the historic Chinese style civil service exams for how that can be implemented, and its pros/cons.

One major issue with blind meritocracy is it strongly favors those from families who can invest in their children - aka the rich. Though, there is a path for improvement for those with raw intelligence, unless the tests favor brute force memorization. Like most Chinese tests historically have.
The reliability aspect of this self-contained system is quite impressive. Over the course of my life, I've personally experience many power outages, water outages, cell service outages, internet outages, etc. but never a natural gas outage.

Lol no. Faster speeds are quite useful when you need to download something in a pinch and a single 4K video stream alone can easily eat up more than a quarter of your 200 Mbps. Consumer internet prices also do not scale linearly with bandwith because the provider knows that the average usage does not scale linearly.

Also, a pro would know that it's Mbps (megabits per second) and not mpbps (millibits per second).
The opportunity cost of lost sales due to unwanted associations is a drop in the bucked compared to the cost of having humans in the loop.

I hear you, brother. I am an Indian Muslim and I have essentially stopped considering any company that has a considerable number of Indians. I actively filter these companies out when searching for jobs. The daily micro-aggressions are detrimetal to my mental health, and I have finally come to terms that this is beyond my power to reform, hence my decision to simply ignore. This is sad, really really sad.
It used to be that there was some experimental result or other phenomena that required explanation which lead to a theoretical model that could be tested. That worked very well.

Now there’s some theoretical considerations that leads to a theoretical model that can’t be tested. It didn’t work for Aristotle and it doesn’t work for string theorists (and similar).

You’re conflating two separate functionalities.

Wordpress apparently provides a content management system your users like. How you serve that content is easily decoupled and can still be from static files generated and distributed via a CDN.

Static sites don’t require markdown and git.
Yup, no respect for the people who published the article. It was one paragraph of content impossibly diluted. TLDR: some idiots allowed USB sicks to be plugged into the supposedly air-gapped system. Hilarity ensued.
One is likely the majority, the other the minority.

It doesn’t negate any behaviour based on bias but would require an honest reflection on the unconscious biases existing in the workplace prior to this.

It is a lie on part of Mozilla. A logic that only makes sense with a lot of false premises, like the necessity and inevitably of surveillance advertising. A simple legislative change and all that would be illegal without it hitting the economy at all with exception of some parts of the advertising industry.

I don't know what changed for Mozilla, but this doesn't look like a way into the future.

Or maybe they want to go that way, but they then should release Firefox/Thunderbird from ambitions like these. These project had other goals than what Mozilla today espouses.

With two cheaper machines for the price of one, one could run both operating systems. Then you can learn kernel compile, static IP, SSH, and practice sysadmin tasks (backups, cron, OS internals) from both perspectives.
"Don't build your castle on someone else's land"

We bailed out of ebay 17 years ago: they changed to "buyer need not pay" and one person took us for $1,000+ of stuff.

Never saw a sign they were getting better; it has looked like they're preying on sellers to me, ever since.
We have a quite a few users using .org.uk so this shouldn't be the issue...

I think that's an unfairly dismissive take and the "going to restaurants" bit is a mischaracterization at best.

There massive difference is WHERE the discrimination is taking place. Most would not move to India or any other place and impose their culture and exclude locals in a fair and just world. I'm not saying it doesn't take place, and yes colonialism happened and was far worse, but we're talking about what SHOULD be.
One thing to know about openbsd is that the default OS install and built-in services are mostly secure, but any third-party stuff you install is not guaranteed to be, and can be a vector for compromise.

If you intend to use it as a desktop OS, the amount of things you have to add will likely greatly increase the surface area to secure.

We once had a breach where through an insecure third-party service (I forget but it may have been some PHP script), someone managed to execute a remote payload on an openbsd server.

Luckily, the payload assumed a Linux system with an available C compiler, and it failed to “explode” in the alien openbsd environment.

To sum up, openbsd is indeed more secure but it’s not a panacea. As long as you follow best personal computing security practices you should be ok with either Linux or Openbsd.
Not quite; there's cases where a .iso will actually miss certain data, since they're just dumps of what the OS recognizes as data; you tend to lose some metadata in the process. It's usually irrelevant (especially for data storage disks, which are most of the medium), until it isn't and then the format stops working.

A basic example tends to be CDs with copy protection; ISO can't properly handle the protection (since the format doesn't support it), whilst the .cue/.bin format is a more accurate representation of the disk.

You often don't need the disk in .cue/.bin, but in some cases you do want to store the copy protection as well (for example, with PSX emulation or if you very specifically want to digitize the disk itself, rather than the data on it.)
DEI is more about getting equally qualified candidates to the table that are ignored or missed.

Yes that makes it more competitive.

Or less-competitive at an advantage to some and both others if it stayed the same way.
As an Indian immigrant I had noticed this very early on too. It made me very uncomfortable when some of us would crack jokes in non-English language while there were others around who didn't understand the language. After first few years I stopped working for companies that had mostly Indians in IT. I must say I have been lucky since then to always find a good mix of diverse backgrounds in my team that it has not been a problem.
> I'm not sure what your point is.

That's a good question. I suppose my point is that this is not something you have "fight back" against. Lots of people get excluded from social groups in professional settings due to some silly link that their coworkers have with each other.

Learning to overcome your lack of cultural commonality with coworkers and and breaking into social groups is something that all of us need to do at some point. In my case — I sucked it up, refused to learn golf but bonded with coworkers over board games; and ate the appetizers at the steakhouse.

A tip for OP would be to try doing the equivalent thing in their context. Go up to your Indian coworkers and ask if you can accompany them to the restaurant. I promise you it will be fine.

Thoughts like this miss the purpose and significance of the maxim being discussed. Science doesn't disprove an "almighty, unexplainable divine entity" any more than an "almighty, unexplainable divine entity" could also provide science as a means to understand the nature of things.

The read-only requirement makes sense because otherwise confidentiality of the airgapped system can be easily compromised (data extraction).

If one's role is to only update AV on the airgapped machine then their data transfer to the airgapped machine should be only going into one direction.

1. I love OpenBSD, I mostly use it for servers. I tried on Desktop, but since I was using CLion a lot at the time, the experience didn't work out (CLion uses a bundled native executable which didn't work). If you use a lot of open source software, then I'd expect the experience to be better

2. Pros: Secure, clear documentation and straight forward to configure, quality tools made by the project- pf is fantastic (I use authpf a lot too). The packages tend to have what you need included (php, etc.) When you get something set up it tends to keep running well for a long time.

Cons: If the package isn't well maintained, then it will eventually be removed, so there are some packages missing, but usually you can just compile it yourself. It also means the packages that exist tend to be maintained well and are secure.

3. Not sure on this, but one thing to check is the WiFi card. I tried with an older ThinkPad, and some of the ThinkPads have compatible Wifi cards, and some didn't. I got one that wasn't compatible.

My sister made me install it on her Intel i3 PC one time.

The installation procedure was rather easy, I just had some hiccups when configuring stuff due to my background with Linux vs how things are done in *BSD.

But security comes at the expense of system responsiveness, so if things with an i3 processor were rather slow, all the stuff OpenBSD makes to keep you secure don't help much in that regard. Still I guess for more decent specs it can be much more bearable.

Another trade-off is that you're supposed to read a lot of documentation. Questioning things are discouraged because their documentation is the holy scriptures for them and everything is already answered there, since how to start X at boot to the meaning of life and the ultimate end of the universe. Not a welcoming mindset for newbies in my humble opinion, and even less for us who don't speak english as their native language, but surprisingly (and funny enough) some of the *BSD people diss at Linux since it's the latter the popular one and not them... So yeah, if you want a secure system you must devote a fair share of time into reading (technical) documentation, but surely you'll learn a thing or two.

I personally couldn't bear pkg/pkgsrc at all - I'm so used to Portage it felt so restrictive in terms of customizability. But if you come from, say, apt or rpm, it would be fine I guess. I heard even KDE is available for it so it seems they're working hard in making more software available for them.

Still it seems nothing beats OpenBSD in terms of security so it will be a great choice for you.

For gravitational waves discovery, Nobel prize went to the designers of the LIGO which was done long before we actually built it. The example that will fit more your idea would be Carlo Rubbia who got the award in 1984 for leading the CERN team who discovered the W and Z bosons. He did not have any contributions than leading the experiment that did it [1]. It is not like he designed or proposed the way we used to detect them. And the Nobel prize for higgs discovery went to theorists who proposed and predict it not the experimental physicists (thousands) who discovered it in 2012.

> Lets say it takes 100 molecules in a circuit to calculate 1 particles state. Then you already would need a universe 100X the size to calculate our 1X size universe.

That’s not how it works though. You’d have a lot of fixed costs to build a computer that simulates exactly the behavior of one particle. But then simulating a secondary particle will have a much, much, much smaller marginal cost.

Since you brought up clipping, games are actually a perfect example. You can see games as very crude simulations of our own reality, or slices of it. Take for example Red Dead Redemption 2. Run it on a PS5. Now compare the size of your PS5 to the mass of what was the old Wild West territory :)

Plus there’s the whole quantum computing thing, where in a way you’re reaching into “alternate” realities for extra compute.
And quadrifoliate (this comment's grandparent) showed that exclusionism against Indians similarly exists and is harmful. Very much on topic in my opinion.
