> You think that [it] is based on giving some preference, but it isn't - its based on acknowledging and working to eliminate actual prejudice.

I would like to understand your point here. I agree with you that the stated justification for DEI policies is based on "acknowledging and working to eliminate actual prejudice". I also believe that they explicitly give preference to certain groups of people over others. So what is the point here? Because they are based on a noble goal, we should accept them? And if, instead, they were based on another nefarious purpose, they would not be acceptable?

A policy may arise from various motivations, but eventually it must be evaluated on its own merits. Of course, the same policy may be implemented in various ways, toward a nefarious purpose or to a noble purpose. You sound like you genuinely care about this issue and I appreciate that when you hire people you consider they may contribute to the community in your department, how well they will mentor students, and so on. Those are all important things and I am happy you interpret DEI that way, but unfortunately that is not how they are often interpreted.

From the journalism department at UC [1]:

> Our commitment, should we be successful with this application, is to hire someone from the BIPOC community

From the geography department at UC [1]:

> Our aim is specifically to hire a Black, Indigenous, or Latinx faculty member

From ethnic studies at UC [1]:

> We have an urgent and qualified need for BIPOC femme/women of color faculty in an Africana Studies focus who will contribute to the social science division thematic cluster hire in racism and racial inequality.

From psychology dept. at U Washington [2]:

> I advise deleting the statement below as it shows that URM [underrepresented minority] applications were singled out and evaluated differently than non-URM applications (which is not allowed as [redacted] noted)

> At a faculty meeting, someone whose name is redacted “informed faculty that the Hiring Committee had three outstanding candidates and so they used DEI to distinguish and select a first offer"

> Before finalists were narrowed to three, five finalists were invited to virtual visits, with the schedules including meetings with the Women Faculty and Faculty of Color groups. But a member of the latter group expressed opposition to meeting the white candidates. “As a person who has been on both sides of the table for these meetings, I have really appreciated them,” the unnamed person wrote in an email. “Buuut, when the candidate is White, it is just awkward. The last meeting was uncomfortable, and I would go as far as burdensome for me. Can we change the policy to not do these going forward with White faculty?”

If you believe that the sentiments expressed above are acceptable in a professional, academic setting, then we have totally different ethical values.

There's a lot to be unpacked there, but I'm not sure about what you think is "effective action" and why peaceful demonstrators are a bad thing.

Just nit-picking, but in the Japanese section the subtitles translate to "You can speak Japanese" but the spoken content translates to "Please speak Japanese".

Are the subtitles (and subsequent conversation transcripts) consistent with what is actually vocalized, or is this an artifact of a manually-edited video?

i'm very focus to observe which certian topics were missing in HN

that's one of my habit since I live in a country with highly censorship

And base what I observed

some topics i cares were not popped up - i.e trump's meeting with Nethanyahu

some topics i interested were flagged - i.e 'Trade War Heats Up After Trump Orders Tariffs and ...'

i feel it's kind of creepy since i don't think there's a censorship supervisor in HN like where i came from, or is there any?

First off, Gaza is not entirely demolished. It's a faux-pas like saying Lebanon is demolished, it's a hyperbolic euphemism for saying it needs to be annexed. If America wasn't systemically opposed to foreign aid we might... yunno, save these people like we do with the PKK.

Second off, the attacks on Gaza have been tolerated by several administrations including Trump's own first stab at office. He deliberately avoided conflict resolution because any international negotiations would draw attention to Israel's presently illegal borders.

Third off, any ethnic Arabs that voted for "Zion Don", a man who's name emblazons Trump Heights in illegally occupied Israeli territory, knew what they were getting into. The bigger problem was people abstaining to vote entirely and letting the opposition get their leverage.

Yet, there's nothing iPhone specific about this idea. They didn't have to limit it in the way they did. In the future they can change the approach too and both remove and restrict features, because they will always go iPhone-first. Being able to use this in a restricted way today is just that.

I feel that the label of “civil disobedience” is misused as a tactic to justify illegal acts. Infrastructure is not there to serve as anyone’s political platform, and it is built with taxpayers’ money for other purposes. If the gathering does not have a permit, it is illegal, and therefore a disturbance of the peace - in other words, a riot.
It is, but everyone hates that and has no idea how to say it.
> Often, the bug is caused by an accidental use of := instead of =.

This is a distinctly Go problem, not a problem with shadowing as a concept. In Rust you'd have to accidentally add a whole `let` keyword, which is a lot harder to do or to miss when you're scanning through a block.

There are lots of good explanations in this subthread for why shadowing as a concept is great. It sounds like Go's syntax choices make it bad there.
Runes are how UTF-8 has been handled since its invention. It's just taken some platforms longer to get there than others.
I haven't used this workflow personally, but it should be fine.

`jj git push` does an equivalent to `--force-with-lease`, so if there are remote commits that are later than what your current bookmark points to, it won't overwrite them. You can `jj git fetch`, it'll update your bookmark, and you can choose to put your new commits onto the updated sequence of commits wherever they belong.

"...gov't supervisors stopped publishing financial reports."

And you thought OKRs were bad! Ha ha ha, reports suck? Let's really make reporting consequential for individuals, like in China.

I think the facilities for building larger applications are lacking in APL. It would be great as something embedded into other languages. Consider something like numpy’s einsum, but using apl expressions instead. Use APL to express what it’s good at, and use the facilities of the host language to put together bigger systems.

If you must write unsafe code, what's wrong with just dropping down to unsafe in Rust when you need to? You have all the power unsafe provides, and you have a smaller surface area to audit than if your entire codebase resides in one big unsafe block.
Yeah, it's a feature of a language, doesn't mean we are forced to use it.
Re: computing with continuous distributions: I recall there was a "show HN" a while ago with a graph-style interface to do computations on continuous distributions, so you could very much budget by modelling a plausible distribution of gas prices within the month, of rental prices in your town, etc, and then see plausible distributions of monthly spending.

I'm still trying to find it: anyone remember this, or did I just Mandela Effect myself? I'm not sure whether it computed outputs analytically or through simulation.

(Hell, I might just recreate it on my own...)
Changing the type on a value is an anti-pattern, in my opinion. It's not obnoxious to be explicit in your variable names.

No, they're not. Rust "boxed traits" are, but those aren't what the author means.

> Primarily because if Zig did have a full Unicode string and some "character" type, now it'd be on the standard library devs to not only define what a "character" is, and then we risk having something like the C++ Unicode situation where you have a char32_t type, but the standard library isn't equipped to handle that type, and then you run into "Oh this encoding is broken" and on and on and on it goes.

The standard library not being equipped to handle Unicode is the entire problem. Not solving it doesn't avoid the issue: it just makes Unicode safety the programmer's responsibility, increasing the complexity of the problem domain for the programmer and leaving more room for error.

NeuVector Security – Wasn't so Secure [video]
My understanding is that this is not a settled issue, and there is dispute about the evidence, conflicting studies, and so on.

Regardless, to the extent that it's true, it's imo likely more to do with the nature of crimes of passion, and is certainly not evidence against the effects of incentives in general. Death penalty aside, if you are doing any kind of work, and you know you will be held accountable for errors in that work in ways that matter to you (whether SLA agreements, getting sued, losing payment, etc), it will change the way approach it.

Second, it is not even clear that any US citizens will be shipped off. Bukele is just offering it and Trump said he isn't sure if it will happen.

Third, US citizens are able to serve their sentence in a foreign country if they so choose since 1977 [1]. Obviously this situation is not the same, but the US does send its citizens to foreign prisons sometimes.

i dont think offering more compensation solves the problem.

the people you might want mignt

1. always have a better option elsewhere and if your raise the offer, competitors will offer something even higher instead, beyond the pittances the government is willing to spend
2. never be willing to take on the job as specified - huge responsibility and risk of killing people, with long hours and no recognition
3. never finds out that the pay is high - nobody talks about it, or sells its existence as an option.
4. doesnt have a parent in the business to teach them what to do

raising the payment seems to fail a lot, even though its suggested naively all the time as the solution to all labour problems.

alternatives might be to increase outreach, immigration, enslaved prison workers, stronger unions to make the job more like what people are willing to work, etc
Yes, I've had my VF2 for two years exactly, this week.

Until the P550 Megrez arrives, hopefully in the next week, the VF2 is still the fastest RISC-V board I have for software development. It builds everything I've tried faster than either the higher MHz and wider and OoO TH1520 (C610) board or the higher MHz and twice as many cores SpacemiT K1 board. (Pioneer would be faster but it also costs 30x more for about 15x more speed)

It makes total sense to use a mature and well-supported SoC for the first integration into the Frame ecosystem. No doubt a lot of things were learned in the year or so they've been working on it. If they'd waited for EIC7700 (for example) then that would delay the whole thing for up to a year.

As it stands, they can probably bang out a follow-up EIC7700 or K1/M1 board pretty quickly now if they want to.
I don't really see why that would be a problem.

I never said that. Please don't reply to comments you made up in your head.

Using AI doesn't automagically equate to winning a war. Using AI could mean the AI kills all your own soldiers by mistake. AI is stupid, it just is. It "hallucinates" and often leads to wrong outcomes. And it has never won a war, and there's no guarantee that it would help to win any war.
You can (assuming you're talking about Rust)! Just use Clippy and add #[deny(clippy::shadow_reuse)]: https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/#shadow_reuse

My position on shadowing is that it's a thing where different projects can have different opinions, and that's fine. There are good arguments for allowing shadowing, and there are good arguments for disallowing it.
The whole anytype/trait question is just dynamic typing, but at the type level instead of the value level.

The OK Cupid blog was on my mind as I read it as well.

The thing interesting about that blog was — if I remember it correctly — they posted results of initiations by men and women. That suggested there was kind of an optimal strategy for men and women, in that there was kind of mismatching going on in terms of who reached out to who.

IIRC, they were suggesting that it was good for women to reach out to very attractive men, because men in general were not getting contacted, including attractive men, but were responsive to being contacted, and a woman could take advantage of that, even if they were less attractive themselves. Men in contrast would do better to reach out to women who were slightly less attractive, because most of mens' attention collectively was focused on a very small group of very attractive women, and the women who were less attractive, even slightly so, were getting contacted much less often.

Typing this out I think the distributions were very different from in the current article, but also I think they were analyzing different things. In that they were looking at actual initiations, and in this they're looking at likes. Also this article breaks things down a bit more in terms of goals in using the app, which plays into things as well in a big way.

The complexity of it all increases quite a bit very rapidly.
Go does this too. I generally like the idea a lot, as long as it's consistent. The one thing I don't like is the inconsistency.

Not sure about C#, but in Go for example ranging strings ranges over runes, but indexing pulls a single byte. And len is the byte length rather than rune length.

So basically it's a byte array everywhere except ranging. I guess I would have preferred an explicit cast or conversion to do that instead of by default.
You ask:

> I also believe that they explicitly give preference to certain groups of people over others. So what is the point here?

You give the example of the journalism, geography, and ethnic studies departments specifically seeking minority viewpoints.

FWiW I don't think the DEI corporate and other programs in the USofA have been particularly well executed, they appear (from afar) to be more performative than substantive, however ...

The three examples you gave should more or less answer your own question for you.

Journalism, good reporting, brings deep informed insights from the ground. That's not going to happen when reporting on foreign countries and disadvantaged communities if all the reporters are (say) from a WASP background and perspective.

Geography isn't just maps, there are strong elements of people's relations with land that are part of that domain .. again a breadth of viewpoints gives richer coverage.

Ethnic studies. .. I mean does this really need a comment as to why diverse viewpoints deliver broader outcomes?
> When I have `initial_foo`, `foo_feature_a`, and `foo_feature_b`, I have to read the entire code carefully to be sure that I'm using the right `foo` variant in subsequent code. If I later need to drop Feature B, I have to modify subsequent usages to point back to `foo_feature_a`. Worse, if I need to add another step to the process—a Feature C—I have to find every subsequent use and replace it with a new `foo_feature_c`. And every time I'm modifying the code later, I have to constantly sanity check that I'm not letting autocomplete give me the wrong foo!

When you have only one `foo` that is mutated throughout the code you are forced to organize the processes in your code (validation, business logic) based on the current state of that variable. If your variables have values which are logically assigned you're not bound by the current state of that variable. I think this a big pro. The only downside most people disagreeing with me are mentioning is related to ergonomics of it being more convenient.

Plenty of companies produce good returns, but that doesn't make them any kind of leader. FAANG still controls the market, pays the highest salaries, and produces the most research. Other rising stars like OpenAI and ByteDance are not uniquely evil either. Not saying FAANG won't fade away like IBM or Oracle, but I don't think it would be due to their unwillingness to be like Palantir.
