What about 10 years of experience building software translates to the director position being talked about? Would a 14 year old who has 10 years of (real) experience working on the family farm be equally suitable or is there something about software specifically that primes people for being directors?
That's more for traditional "magic eye" pattern stereograms where you want to relax your eyes to look off into the middle distance behind the subject instead of intensely focusing on something unnaturally close to your face.
When it works you get what seems like 3 images with the middle one showing the differences; you can then relax and peruse the middle image at will. I guess all the practice with SIRDS as a child probably helps.
Big, oppressive, intrusive governments are fine as long as they praise Jesus, cut welfare, and lower taxes.

Corporate DEI seems unambitious to me - like expecting face-eating leopards to eat fewer faces if you can persuade them to wear make-up.

The real problem is corporate psychopathy. DEI is a band-aid on a monster.

And the first step to a solution is accepting that we are in fact dealing with monsters, not with organisations that have positive social aims and can be reasoned with.
I assume because stripe and the other PoS providers somehow get a fraction of a fraction of the tips?
There was, but the reality is that the modern US regulatory environment demonstrably doesn't care whether cars labled as self driving are actually capable of that safely, and have not demonstrated any interest in regulating such, and that was BEFORE we popularly elected a group of charlatans, hacks, and grifters that have all made "The courts will bend over backwards for us and our wealth" a huge part of America.

Like, Reagan's instructions to the regulatory agencies to basically stand down was only just beginning to be undone after 40 years, and we immediately elected the people promising to slam hard in the other direction.

America will be a regulatory free for all for business for decades.
Fair enough. It is tough to edit those titles to convey the main point while staying under the character count!
Leftie media in that case is usually just reprinting what people on the right say they intend on doing, though.
How could the United States end homelessness? It is a mix of federal government, state governments, and local/county/municipal governments. The level of government best suited to do the actual work is hamstrung... if any one city fixes homelessness (somehow), more homeless will show up. If they do that again for the new arrivals, more homeless show up.

The first to solve it is punished with tens of thousands of newly arriving homeless who, as you might imagine, will find a way to get there if it means not being homeless anymore. But budgets are finite and the cost per homeless must he higher than zero, but in a practical sense the number of homeless aren't entirely finite.

If you start from the other end, with the feds, then you might as well hold your breath. Homelessness is so far down the list of priorities, that even if it somehow did bubble to the top, the polarization in Congress will sabotage any effort, and we'll end up with boondoggles that both sides can criticize and that won't really help any homeless at all.

This isn't a choice being made, it's just the complexity of the real world that some are still blind to even after graduating college and (theoretically) turning into grownups.

There's actually a technical solution too, but since it's dry and boring, most leftists (and quite a few of the rightists) find it too boring to ever want to try. Obviously the solution is either love and compassion (from the left) or maybe "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps" (from the right).
Easily defeated by arranging the images vertically.

Or at least, makes it a LITTLE bit harder.

It's interesting how sometimes it feels like a topic starts showing up super often all of the sudden. It probably isn't a coincidence, since my interest and probably this post's interest is due to Tao's recent equation challenge https://teorth.github.io/equational_theories/ .

I was surprised and intrigued to find Wolfram's name when I was reading background literature doing this blog post https://www.philipzucker.com/cody_sheffer/ where I translated my friend's Lean proof of the correspondence of Sheffer stroke to Boolean algebra in my python proof assistant knuckledragger https://github.com/philzook58/knuckledragger (an easier result than Wolfram's single axiom one).

I was also intrigued reading about the equational theorem prover Waldmeister https://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/departments/automation-of-logic/s... that it may have been acquired by Mathematica? It's hard to know how Mathematica's equational reasoning system is powered behind the scenes.

Mathematica can really make for some stunning visuals. Quite impressive.

The thread description is only for debugging purposes, though, and is only available on newer versions of Windows 10 anyway. I'm more inclined to believe it's an oversight as games seldom request non-thread-safe operation.

As for detecting the driver, yeah, it's easy to get that wrong. IIRC, GL drivers on Windows had to limit their reported extensions because GLQuake would overflow a buffer if the extension string was too long. I also saw a game where the telemetry code had a bug and would crash if the driver description was too long. Then there was the extreme weirdness with early hybrid devices where you'd bring up DXDiag and it'd say that the system had an Intel Integrated Graphics adapter driven by an ATI graphics driver DLL!

The root of all of this is that modern GPUs/drivers/graphics APIs are hugely complex. These days, drivers have entire compilers built into them, that are expected to run as fast as possible under demanding conditions while generating efficient shaders. But again, anyone who thinks the fault mainly is on one side is getting an incomplete picture. I remember the DirectX team complaining about how in the early days of Vista about how a large %age of their driver crashes were from NVIDIA drivers. On the other hand, NVIDIA said that they had to redesign and rewrite six full drivers from scratch on top of a new architecture with incomplete documentation that was changing up to the last minute.
The diversity isn't for you the customer, it's for the employees and the kind of corporate environment Costco wants to build.

Edit to add: A better corporate environment, of course, does tend to lead to a better customer experience, but the "visibility of diversity" should not be the goal but rather "genuinely fostering an inclusive environment where people are respected and feel willing to put in their best work," and I think that shows at Costco.
I could not read the entire article due to paywall, but I think tipping less will actually drive businesses to pay a proper wage to the people providing the service. I try to tip 5% more than the expected amount as I am aware that people working in many of these jobs are not paid enough. However, its absolutely ridiculous when I am asked to leave a tip on self checkout kiosks. That should be illegal.
Yeah, this has been my experience too. The mentality seems similar to "productivity hackers" who spend more time figuring out the quickest, most optimal way to do a thing than people who just do the thing.
I would feel extremely insulted if I found out I was hired to fill some diversity checkbox instead of being hired for being damn good at what I do.

That's exactly what was happening, and you can imagine the quality of work that resulted in. Now that the tide is turning, that hopefully won't be the case anymore.
You have yet to prove anything you stated. If you have a good economy with low inflation allowing the average person to save and build wealth, poverty will eventually lower. If you just focus on the poverty and don't fix the core issues you won't solve anything.

To continue with your analogy, you are treating the symptom, not the disease. Millei appears to be curing the disease, but the treatment is painful.
THis is something I worry about in rural NM. 3 local tribes just got a bit more than $20M for broadband infrastructure, and you have to ask ... as much as I hate Elon both before and after he went batshit insane, why not just use starlink? I mean, what justification can there be for putting in new wired infrastructure at this point?
I'd really like a way to guilt trip the management at stores that do that, but I don't know how. They aren't there to confront - even if I threw a fit at the checkout line, the people responsible aren't the ones who are there.

Maybe it needs to be at a shareholder meeting?

> Tech companies just have subconscious bias for hiring both brown men and white men, but not black or yellow ones to complete the Blumenbach crayon set.

Have never worked anywhere there was a shortage of Asian Male engineers.

Not as many Black engineers for sure — but I think that tends to be a society wide workforce problem. In an absolute sense there are less Black software engineers.

I think a lot of these imbalances come down to that. But people don’t want to acknowledge that the majority of software engineers are male, and largely white, Asian, or Indian. But they expect their individual company to somehow solve a society wide deficit.
Integration implies multiple pictures taken and stacked. This is how we do deep sky astrophotography on our back yards.
At many locations you’re just subsidizing business costs. The employees aren’t netting enough tips to break above actual minimum wage, so you’re literally donating to the business not the person you think you’re tipping.
There is C0, a stripped-down version of C popular in academia [1]. Great for teaching because it's conceptually simple and easy to write a compiler for. But with a couple of additions (like sized primitive types) it might match what you are imagining

Not even really true anymore. It’s all about “stakeholder capitalism“ now, which boils down to management being able to prioritize whichever stakeholder it wants to in any given situation.

Shareholder primacy may not be perfect, but it at least constrains management instead of giving them completely free rein.
I guess that's somewhat fair, though doesn't refute the study they're citing from UPenn [0]

Astute observers have been predicting a woke / DEI rollback ever since Claudine Gay got canned. Big tech companies are enmeshed with the state, so it helps to keep the wider political / geopolitical context in view.
&raw landed in the release just before this latest one.

And even before that release, there were macros the poly fill it, so you could have used those to target an earlier version.
Wondering same. If my math is right, this was a 1/25 sec. exposure. (40/1000)
It is not about wage-suppression, if it was there wouldn't be rules that stipulate the visa holders are paid market rate for their jobs (enforcement can be improved but the rule is there).

This logic cuts both ways.

Many US companies are concerned about wage suppression, but many are also concerned about talent. And when it comes to software devs, there are definitely H1Bs who outmatch their citizen peers.

So are there other techniques for fixing homelessness that work in these so-called "low-trust" societies?
I've always thought that ability to unfocus the eyes might be related to mental focus. If you have difficulty staying on topic, or a diagnosis of ADD/ADHD or whatever {I'm not equate these} AND find it really hard to do magic eye images... Then please take part in my 'totally scientific study'TM.
This really does not surprise me, I think it goes back to the prompt suggesting a tip amount. It kind of takes control away from the customer buy saying "You should tip one of these amounts".

I think people would rather have a line were you write down the amount instead of going through prompts. Plus to make matters worse, in many cases the server cam watch what you do.
The country isn’t your house. The fact that you feel that way is odd.
There are far more egregious things to guilt trip shareholders meetings over if you are going for that.
This was my experience also.

While I have generally practiced ~12miles/week of beach running, in the last year I've basically been almost sedentary. Being physically active is a huge advantage for life in general, I just have had some distractions in the last year, and haven't been doing it.

In that same year I've lost ~15 pounds, from 210lbs down to 195lbs, from dietary intake restriction alone. after several years of being steady at that 210lbs level.

I'm kind of plateaued at this point, and I really want to get down to about 185lbs.

To enhance the weight loss, and for general health benefits, I think I'm about to get back into the beach running...
So it was racist?
UUIDs are longer because they use a less efficient encoding (base16 vs base32), not because they contain more entropy.
> quick to de-orbit in the case of disaster or destruction.

In case of destruction, the satellite breaks up into many individual pieces each having a potentially very different orbit. Many of those parts might then stay up longer than the satellite would have if it remained intact. The parts can also cause a chain reaction which eventually breaks everything in low earth orbit.
Upvotes, I agree, I have mental focus issues and can't do magic eye (upvote)
> ... who owned the land ...

they didn't use the word "owned", only "occupied". The indigenous groups probably didn't even have anything like our modern concept of land "ownership" and would think of it more like land alienation. As a Georgist, I'm personally very annoyed by these sort of empty indigenous land acknowledgements. I'm more excited about stuff like this Squamish Nation housing development in Vancouver, BC [1] where they actually get rights to use the land how they want even if it doesn't fit local expectations of "indigenous ways of knowing and being".

Helsinki, at least is an interesting place. Much like any other capital if you go to certain neighbourhoods you can see drug dealers, drug users (many which are living in shelters) - even in downtown. They kind of blend in, are part of the scenery and on the whole only interact with their "own kind". You might hear some grumbling, shouting, smelly folk on the tram - but they aren't treated with the same contempt at existing as I've seen in other countries.
Not really, McDowell says it most likely is, but he's "not fully convinced". Langbroek says it's plausible his blog goes on the explain why and show other debris was found in the region, references McDownell, the anonymous Twitter account, Arianespace's doubt.

Langbroek even simulated the situation (in TU Delft Astrodynamics Toolbox[0]) with known information about recent flights. His blog post is pretty thorough.[1]

It's a shame Arianespace (who.. you know, may be worried about reputation or liability) hasn't just posted an image of the SYLDA shell they say it isn't.. that would clear up the speculation.

You’re right, but they can be used together with a sextant to instantly preform calculations that can be time consuming and difficult at sea.

You're absolutely correct and I think it's what drives all the resentment about DEI programs. People aren't dumb, when they see some group only makes up 3% of the population of engineers and they see a program trying to balance senior positions, they're going to feel its unfair bs. What's really interesting is that almost every woman I've worked with professionaly isn't from North America, they're all from India, Iran and Eastern Europe (Belarus, Bulgaria etc). There's something deeply wrong with the culture here that's screwing up the top of the funnel.
Is there anything that couldn't be justified with this style of thinking? Would this person support legalizing murder since more murders might raise awareness of how bad murder is?
It will also cause a lot of things to be shut down. This Will work for the FAANGs of the world and for very very few of the industries where there is a genuine labor shortage and hiking the cost up on them makes it unproductive to stay in business
While framework idioms are important, they're secondary to delivering working, maintainable software that solves real problems.

To a first approximation, you will never be the person maintaining the code you wrote. So if that person who takes over from you, who is well versed in the idioms of the framework in question, cannot easily understand what you have done and why, then it isn't maintainable software.
sure, replace building software with leading large teams. The general point still stands
I have a first-hand experience once or twice a year that make me stop and think -- if I were a woman in this situation I'd probably be doubting my career path. The example I cited is particularly egregious, but I have seen several other examples from a variety of companies:
- two guys on a zoom call joking that someone's camera was off because they were doing "weird stuff"
- manager from another team drunkenly telling a 24 year old at a holiday party that he would leave his wife for her
- software system named "naggy_wife"
- coworker telling younger coworker to "not get married because you will never have sex again"

I am passing along these anecdotes because they're more easy to empathize with than some of the more general arguments of why it can be hard to succeed in tech as a woman (but they really only tell part of the story). Some of my other anecdotes might also sound closer to things you've seen or heard at the work place, or perhaps it's easier to see how some of these things might have happened without you being aware of them, given their (relative) infrequency and the contexts in which they arise. All of them happened without an HR incident (like, really, should a guy who wrote a system called "naggy-wife" get in trouble? a choice was made like 20 years ago... and maybe the guy doesn't even work there anymore). But you can also see how negative experiences like this can build up and contribute to the relatively common feeling among female engineers that they "don't belong".

I carry cash when I know I'm going to be eating out. It has made it much less awkward because they are not spinning the Clover terminal around, or handing me the card terminal asking for a tip.
Where I live we eliminated allowing tipped workers to be paid under minimum wage, and minimum wage is now at least $15/hour.

So yes, now I tip people a little less because I know they aren't being paid $2+tips/hour. That was the entire point of eliminating that weird loophole.
Why are the only options startup vs big corporation?
Yes, it's a triumph of capitalism that we have to waste the energy and materials to build out the infrastructure N times before competition kicks in to give us prices that were apparently possible (but not offered) all along!
Specific examples don't overcome the overall statistics.
Well, it looks like Quickwit was going to add an Enterprise license as of earlier this year (PR #5529), which I had been keeping eyes on, but this announcement says they're instead going to relicense as Apache 2.0 so the "community can continue on":

> We will be focused on building a new product with Datadog, and to ensure our open-source community can continue, we will soon release a major update of both Quickwit with a relicense to Apache License 2.0 and tantivy.

So, it looks like we'll get a more liberally licensed Quickwit, but reading between the lines suggests development of it is might otherwise be winding down? It has been pretty nice and stable in my experience, so I can't really complain much. But I was really looking forward to what else it could bring.

Congrats to the team, in any case!
