So is the problem truly with hiring, or is it earlier on. It could also be both. But if none are graduating with a SE degree...

I've seen nothing to support this claim. It does fit the right-wing disinformation pattern of demonizing people, encouraging division and hate between people, undermine social programs, and making baseless claims to put others in the defensive position of having to disprove them.

Can you support that claim?

Here's some evidence to the contrary, from another comment: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30739834/

Frankly, I don't know where you got the idea that someone is being asked to "blow money" from my comment. Removing the telemetry code would be dead simple. I'd be delighted to do it.

The actual problem is with getting them to accept the code changes. But I thought that was obvious. I guess not.

Something claiming to be X doesn't mean it's X at all least good at being X. This option on tube TVs that I had never worked for commercials, works so well that I don't notice it on a "smart" TV.

If you don't want auto-brigntness you don't have to enable it. I have a hunch that a TV sets it better (just for the reason that you are unlikely to adjust every time you turn lights on and off) but tastes do differ indeed.

Your dislike of Musk is clouding your judgement.

They're not using semantic versioning. SpaceX hasn't even finished a production ready starship, they are still very much in the R&D stage. Just because the latest iteration is know as V2, doesn't mean much.

The fact they haven't achieved the extremely ambitious goals doesn't reflect poorly on the engineering going into Starship, or that "V1" has failed to hit the goals.

You'd be surprised then. Indigenous property rights aren't homogenous. Many lacked the kind of exclusive ownership that we have in Western systems. (Some) Inuit recognized communal band lands for example, where a particular individual within that band might have rights to a particular resource location while they used it, but their usage was governed by complex systems of traditions and they couldn't necessarily exclude others from separate resources in the same physical location.

Pueblo groups had extremely strong ideas about property lines, but those properties were often analogous to modern corporations where individual families could own "shares" in the property, and exchange those for other shares in other properties to reallocate ownership. Areas within a property could also be "rented" to others, or the entire property reclaimed by the government.

The best way I can summarize it is that native Americans tended to have much more fine-grained ideas about what property rights entail than our Western systems. Capabilities based security vs role based security, to really force the analogy into computing.
The "traditional" free market approach is that starlink gets a monopoly there, while new providers go out of business before they reach the scale to compete. Meanwhile the talent pool with the knowledge to even install local infrastructure in the first place is shrinking.

What a platform chooses to ban or allow decides the shape and direction that platform takes. It's the reason why you're on Hacker News and not 4chan right now, HN is a strongly moderated platform with expectations for how users should treat each other. We saw how quickly Twitter degraded when it became a free for all.

That said, I think having "open spaces" on the internet is important. 4chan used to be that kind of free-for-all space where anything goes and you had to leave your moral outrage at the door. Thing is that it was self-contained. Now it feels like the entire internet is being turned into 4chan. Facebook ideally for most people, is a place where you go to see your friends' baby and pet photos, not get called slurs by strangers.

I genuinely appreciate your perspective, but as a smaller, lesser-known provider, I’d like to understand your concerns better.

Are you worried that I might misuse your data and compromise my entire business, by selling it to the highest bidder? Do you feel uncertain about the security of my systems? Or is it a belief that owning and managing the hardware yourself gives you greater control over security?

What kind of validation or reassurance would help address these concerns?
Let us flip this around: If your crawler regularly knocks websites offline, you've clearly done something wrong.

There's no chance every single website in existence is going to have a flawless setup. That's guaranteed simply from the number of websites, and how old some of them are.

This won’t be a popular sentiment among the woke mafia that puruses HN but I’ve seen far more women drop out of tech roles due to the general work environment than due to some sexist commentary. In fact, I don’t know any who left due to some sexist commentary. I know many who left due to how toxic the work environment is for everyone.

Tech workers are one of the least sexist groups out of any. If you think techies are sexist, you’d never last a day in medicine, law, or finance. Yet, women sign up for those in far higher percentages. Genuinely, it is actually hard to find a more left/progressive leaning professional field. It is not sexism that is the one thing keeping women out of tech. It is that it’s not an attractive or high status field to women. The people working in it are not seen as socially competent, it is highly outsourced, and depending on role has relatively little socializing. It’s also insanely competitive and you have to fight to keep your job from an army of H1B workers invading the country due to CEOs looking for slave labor. There are so many reasons to not be in tech and sexism should be one of the lowest reasons out there.

I don’t know any women complaining about sexism in comparison to the level of “holy fuck, when will I ever get a break?” It is an unrelenting field that constantly has you worried you’ll lose your job next month. On top of requiring you study at least 500 leetcode problems before you do any interviews. Go figure, most women don’t enjoy that.

If I have a "no publicity" sign in my mailbox and you dump 500 lbs of flyers and magazines by my door every week for a month and cause me to lose money dealing with all the trash, I think I'd have a reasonable ground to sue even if there's no contract saying you need to respect my wish.

End of the day the claim is someone's action caused someone else undue financial burden in an way that is not easily prevented beforehand, so I wouldn't say it's a 100% clear case but I'm also not sure a judge wouldn't entertain it.
You can try to ask it to list all churches and assign them incremental number starting with 1. then print the last number. It's a variation of counting 'r' in 'raspberry' which works better than simple direct question.

IMHO fun educational learning languages aren't general purpose or production ready; and so also at this point in my career I would appreciate a more reusable language in a CS curriculum.

Python isn't CS pure like [favorite lisp], but it is a language coworkers will understand, it supports functional and object-oriented paradigms, and the pydata tools enable CS applications in STEM.

A lot of AI and ML code is written in Python, with C/Rust/Go.

There's an AIMA Python, but there's not a pyret or a racket AIMA or SICP, for example.

Have you ever seen a homeless Indian in India? I would assume not, since evidently Indians have intact familial cultures that churn out good citizens.
I tried to embark on this a few years ago, thinking particularly for cases where space is at a premium (airports) or I don't want to worry about wrecking/losing game components (camping, the beach).

Overall I didn't find a lot that I liked, particularly in the two-player space. Everything seemed to be either Rummy-family games around set collecting, or trick-taking games that might as well have been Hearts or Euchre.

All that to say, if you've got a few favourites, please recommend!
I wish I knew more interesting games that could be played with a standard deck. My wife and I travel a lot and there's something I find deeply appealing about being able to walk into any gas station, corner shop, or airport store anywhere in the world and come out with a dependency-free way of entertaining yourself (or even making friends!), and I feel like I don't know enough games that take advantage of that.

That being said, I do have a few standbys:

Bullshit's a favorite for semi-large groups: https://www.pagat.com/beating/cheat.html

Egyptian Ratscrew is my pick for 3-5 players (although I'd caution it against playing it in quiet public spaces): https://waste.org/~oliviax/cards/ratscrew.html

Lastly, Duel 52 is a recent favorite for just my wife and I to play, and very much in the vein of Cuttle: http://juddmadden.com/duel52/
how would a previously trained model know that Elon doesn't smoke old socks?
Overlooked point but this is very very important. It's hard to understate the importance of good examples and role models while growing up. We are animals which learn essentially by imitation while growing up. We internalise what we see both consciously and subconsciously. It has a massive impact. And in places where good role models are scarce this self-perpetuates.

Not discounting the material/economic conditions, obviously.

It's amazing how little things have changed. I was Cornell class of '03, and this is basically how we registered for classes (though the "system" was a Java AWT app rather than what I assume is now a website) 25 years ago. It was a miserable experience. There has to be a better way to solve this problem.
Whatever they were doing at DEI was certainly not working. I worked at a major FAANG and rarely saw any black person, and when it happened it was from another country. So I can only conclude that it was really only a farcical display for outsiders.
The Chinese don’t have sth similar right now, right? Also at this point tbh would prefer Chinese whatever over us/starlink. At least it will be more rational.
For a while, I assumed I was just having vision troubles as I get older. Then I started thinking that the roads around here are just poorly graded so that headlights are constantly in people's faces.

It's marketing, they judge that they will gain more by the good will earned than it costs to hire those "DEI experts". Now that the reaction is in full swing across many territories they start to cut back (see tfa).

It's all very exhausting.
> Nobody in this thread is stating that Trump is either good or bad

That's true, incl. me.

> that is a straw man you have created to argue with.

Did I said or implied Trump is bad? No. What I said is, being elected is not an indicator of goodness of badness of a leader, and said that there's a large list, without giving any names, because goodness and badness is subjective.

> Being elected is obviously an indicator of the will of the people.

Yes. That part is true, too. People wanted that particular flavor this time, and will decide whether they liked the experience or not.

> The platform that leader was elected on includes items that went against the left leaning of third-party so-called fact checking services.

"So-called" from your perspective, so from that point on your opinions are biased, and there's no point on arguing any further.

Of course you're free to vote for whoever you want, and AFAICS, the person you support has won. Congrats. My only hope is what you get in the end won't be more than what you bargained for.

BTW, on that "getting men out of women's sports" thing, watch this video [0]. In the end, performance is enhanced so much, the gap between genders are closed nevertheless. On the other hand, gender in Olympic games are determined with genetic testing anyway, so your looks doesn't have any effect on whom you compete with.

Maybe we should prevent this in the future, so humans can compete with their true potential, not with "monstrous performances" enabled by designer drugs and doping. So there's a whole forest running when people are looking to the wrong tree.

Every time this comes up, someone comes in telling us how adaptive headlights will save the day now that they’re finally approved. Here’s the issue: this problem exists today, and stuffing ever more computers in newer cars is not going to fix all the jacked-up F-150s with retina-searing aftermarket replacement bulbs, and the new cars rolling off the line without adaptive headlights (which will soon become used cars on the road for many years to come).

There are quite a few services that use generative models to generate quizzes from YouTube videos.
It's probably nothing, but one of the pivotal lemmas is (a|(a|(a|b))) = (a|b). Imagine replacing (a|b) with x to get (a|(a|x)) = x; then this identity can be read as "x reflected through 'a' twice gives x". It reminds me of O Loos's axiomatic approach to Symmetric Spaces where the operation | means reflect. It axioms are (x|x) = x; (x|(x|y)) = y; (x|(y|z)) = ((x|y)|(x|z)); and finally that "|" should be a smooth function over some manifold.

But then again, when "|" is NAND, it follows that (a|b)|(a|b) means NOT (a|b), which breaks the apparent link to symmetric spaces, because x reflected through itself should give back x.
'Strategic' here means 'feigned'. Specifically, whether they changed their behavior when they knew they were being observed.
I hate Datadog. We use their name as an epithet at our company for how not to sell/market. Their selling tactics circa 2015-2018 completely burned us out. Endless calls and emails. The icing on the cake was an AWS reInvent presentation on Lambda right when lambda was first announced. We were pumped to get in on lambda early. Got the whole crew to attend the talk. Turned out to be a rudimentary copy of a Barr "lambda up and running" blog wrapped in a stand up comedy routine hawked by a Datadog employee who made sure to tell us he was a Datadog employee. Get us all drunk and happy and think Datadog is cool.

Genuine question: has the company changed enough in the interim to deserve a second look?
I don't think you can sue over what amounts to an implied gentleman's agreement that one side never even agreed to and win but if you do, let us know.
Yes, effecting actual change is hard, pulling employees into a meeting room for 45mins to show them some buzzword filled slides is much easier.
my controversial opinion is that it never mattered, all that really mattered was that there was a universal word- changing it to anything would cause at least a few hundred hours of development work and a few hundred additional hours of changing documents and tutorials and stuff.

For what? Main isn’t better if the issue is racism, because “main” has some really negative connotations in Korea (“main” families having servant families).

And, for crying out loud. the tools name is literally a mild british swear word.
It is always so refreshing to read this kind of thing.

For a number of years I had the sense that I might be going crazy, because it seemed that throughout my whole working life I'd encountered good and bad people of both sexes, but never witnessed the kind of systematic targeting of women that both mainstream and alternative media sources told me was rife. How could it be that I couldn't see what was apparently right under my nose? So it's reassuring to know that there are also women who have had a similar experience.
It's not a net positive for underrepresented groups, because it assumes their time wouldn't be better spent applying for real job opportunities. They don't have infinite time, because they are real people. Would you prefer to be rejected because of your resume, or asked to attend an interview and then be rejected because of your resume?

That was me at first.

I think the "cross eyed" phrase is a bit ambiguous.

What I ended up with (I think) is a focal point not closer than the screen but farther than it. My eyes didn't want to do it at first but then they did.

What is weird about it is the focusing and focal point are out of sync --- my brain can do it but the weird feeling is one of "gosh, this thing is a lot closer than it should be" where "should be" is based on focal point, and "is a lot closer" is based on focus.

Don't want to do this too much, feels like I could easily decalibrate my brain for real life lol.

Hey man, I wanted to say good job on read the docs. I use it for my Python project and find it an absolute pleasure to use. Write my stuff in restructured text. Make lots of pretty diagrams (lol), slowly making my docs easier to use. Good stuff.

Edit 1: I'm surprised by the bandwidth costs. I use hetzner and OVH and the bandwidth is free. Though you manage the bare metal server yourself. Would readthedocs ever consider switching to self-managed hosting to save costs on cloud hosting?
