<i>&gt;recruiting&#x2F;HR department no longer considered Asians of any ethnicity a minority and lumped them in with white males.</i><p>Why does HR even need to keep track of ethnicities? Is this a US thing?<p>Here in my EU country you&#x27;re just employee&#x2F;applicant #3215, that&#x27;s it, nobody asks or enters your ethnicity anywhere to even be able to keep tabs on how many are of what ethnicity, since everyone is considered equal by default and judged exclusively on performance (in theory at least, in practice there are still biases, but tracking ethnicities won&#x27;t fix that, since that&#x27;s human nature).<p>What you&#x27;re saying would even be against the law here since then it opens the door to bias and potential discrimination.

To be fair, back in 2014 that was one frame at 60Hz or slower for some titles. At 80-120Hz, 3-5 frames is comparatively similar time.

That may be true, but I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s really the crux of the argument. This article talks about how Amazon was initially funded by Bezos&#x27; family members: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;luxurylaunches.com&#x2F;celebrities&#x2F;jeff-bezos-parents-investment-in-amazon.php" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;luxurylaunches.com&#x2F;celebrities&#x2F;jeff-bezos-parents-in...</a>. The bigger point is that relatively <i>very</i> few parents (like a couple percent maybe?) would be in a position to give their kid $250k to start a new venture, and it&#x27;s not that surprising that the most financially successful people in the world needed both: intrinsic talent and drive, and a huge amount of support from their birth circumstances.<p>The way I like to put it is that both of the following are true:<p>1. Bezos is uniquely talented and driven, and his success depended on that<p>2. Bezos&#x27; success also depended on him having an uncommon level of access to capital at a young age.<p>The reason I like to say &quot;both of these are true&quot; is that so often today I see &quot;sides&quot; that try to argue that only one is true, e.g. libertarian-leaning folks (especially in the US) arguing that everything is a pure meritocracy, and on the other side that these phenomenally successful people just inherited their situation (e.g. &quot;Elon Musk is only successful because his dad owned an emerald mine&quot;)

I read somewhere that the apostrophe in English was <i>only</i> used to show elision, but that in Old English the genitive form changed the word ending to &#x27;es&#x27;, so the apostrophe was just indicating the &#x27;e&#x27; had been removed.<p>For example &#x27;hund&#x27; (dog) becomes &quot;hundes&quot; in the genitive form and was written &quot;hund&#x27;s&quot; when the &#x27;e&#x27; was elided.

&gt; 2. allows use, modification, and redistribution with minimal restrictions to protect the producer&#x27;s business model<p>As my three year old is rather fond of saying when he disagrees with my opinion: &quot;no, try again.&quot; I think the intention is good, but the approach is fraught with risk.<p>&gt; (You may think point 2 is vague — and it is — intentionally. Since business models vary, this invites exploration in new licenses outside of the current suite of fair source licenses.)<p>Right. And when your business model changes, bringing it into conflict with mine? &quot;Exploration&quot; sounds like another word for &quot;pay money or fight lawsuit&quot;. The point of a license is to set expectations between parties. When those aren&#x27;t clear, then a license isn&#x27;t doing its primary job.

It has been running flawlessly on Proton for years. Here&#x27;s one way to do it without having to tinker with Wine guts or whatever.<p>1. Install Steam using your distro&#x27;s package manager, e.g. sudo apt install steam<p>2. Download battle.net&#x27;s setup.exe from their website<p>3. In steam, &quot;Add non-steam game&quot; and add the setup.exe<p>4. In steam, right click on the battle.net setup.exe and in properties, under Compatibility, check the box that says &quot;Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool&quot; and select Proton Experimental.<p>5. Run it, which will allow you to run the installer on the first run. On subsequent runs it will just launch the battle.net launcher, allowing you to run the game immediately.<p>And everything works!!! Of course, you can feel free to do it manually with Wine or using a different tool such as Lutris. To be honest, this works with almost any Windows game that I can think of.<p>See: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;linux_gaming&#x2F;comments&#x2F;ppgk04&#x2F;starcraft2_on_linux_via_steam_is_effortless&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;linux_gaming&#x2F;comments&#x2F;ppgk04&#x2F;starcr...</a><p>Also, nice username --- I imagine it is Donny Vermillion from Starcraft 2 haha.

This is where I&#x27;m at. I generally prefer Linux but I don&#x27;t necessarily hate macOS, I&#x27;ve gotten by with a few annoyances.<p>It&#x27;s really the hardware holding me back, still. I&#x27;m also watching Asahi closely. Any other laptop I&#x27;ve tried makes a compromise somewhere that I don&#x27;t want - bad screen, track pad sucks, hit and miss keyboards. Plus heat and fan noise.<p>I just want a MacBook Air, but Linux. The new snapdragon surface laptop 7 is close (except the keyboard) but it doesn&#x27;t run Linux and I&#x27;ve given up on Windows a long time ago.

That&#x27;s a possibility. Here are other possibilities - the US resident who originally commented may have been:<p>- unaware of the phrase&#x27;s derogatory meaning - aware, but relishing it, as they resent the state and don&#x27;t like living there - aware, but they think the word has a useful non-derogatory use - aware, and has no strong opinion either way<p>All things which in reality would be legitimate in various circumstances. Speculating in the first place seems silly to me, and only started because one commenter apparently didn&#x27;t like the idea of a non-US native having a negative opinion about the US so much that they are (pardon my bluntness) a bit overly sensitive on the issue.

Drawing from own experience working with Harvard, MIT and Google researchers, I could not disagree more.<p>When you talk to a researcher, do they strike you as someone who chases handsome amounts of money, or someone who chases ideas?<p>You bring up research labs. I listened to Alan Kay&#x27;s numerous talks over the years (as an example of a prominent CS researcher), not once does he mention that he joined for the money at Xerox PARC. Yes, he was paid, but the main advantage was being given free reign to conduct research with the best experts in their fields, i.e. to invent and pursue ideas.<p>The important part from a financial perspective, is to be able to have finances to back a research division, where you can spend billions on building a new type of technology, if need be, that may not pan out. You don&#x27;t need a monopoly to accomplish that.<p>You know who does chase handsome amounts of money? Day traders and everyone gambling on the stock market.

An OSI license with the Commons Clause no longer fits the Open Source definition.<p>I&#x27;m not saying it&#x27;s not a reasonable restriction, but it&#x27;s not &quot;Open Source&quot; any more.<p>I care because I want to know exactly what it means when something is described to me &quot;Open Source&quot;.

The base functionality isn&#x27;t always terribly extensible, though. And Go isn&#x27;t like Perl or Ruby where you can monkey-patch arbitrary logic in a pinch.<p>I originally created my knownhosts wrapper to solve the problem of populating the list of host key algorithms based on the knownhosts content. Go&#x27;s x&#x2F;crypto&#x2F;ssh provides no straightforward way to do this, as it keeps its host lookup logic largely internal, with no exported host lookup methods or interfaces. I had to find a slightly hacky and very counter-intuitive approach to get x&#x2F;crypto&#x2F;ssh to return that information without re-implementing it.<p>And to be clear, re-implementing core logic in x&#x2F;crypto&#x2F;ssh is very undesirable because this is security-related code.

It&#x27;s great that Hollow Knight got made, in short enough order at the time (2017) and it&#x27;s great for them that they were able to port it to so many platforms with relative ease.<p>But the entire development team probably got a few gray hairs from the stress of last year&#x27;s Unity debacle.<p>It is now no longer 2016–17. We have now seen firsthand the quite possible perils of building your game on someone else&#x27;s engine.<p>It&#x27;s like how Twitter used to provide very open API access for people to use to build all sorts of third-party apps. Overnight there was a huge explosion of these apps, and it was great for Twitter because it meant more people had more ways to engage with the platform. But when, after Twitter bought all the third-party apps they cared about and kept increasingly clamping down on API access more and more before finally pulling the plug on third-party app support entirely, what did that mean for everyone who built their entire business <i>around</i> using someone else&#x27;s platform? They got fucked, hard.<p>When you see this pattern recur time and time again, you start to think, maybe it&#x27;s not such a great idea to build a business atop someone else&#x27;s platform. Maybe you&#x27;re better off in the long run if you have complete ownership over your code.<p>Imagine if Unity pulled the trigger on their bullshit last year and went through with it. What would the Hollow Knight developers have to do? Scramble to reimplement their game in a new, Unity-free codebase, on every platform it&#x27;s been released on, just to prevent paying Unity more than they already do? It doesn&#x27;t sound like an enviable position to be in.<p>You have to look at the bigger picture and consider nth-order effects if you&#x27;re trying to make a <i>business</i> out of game development. If you&#x27;re doing it as a hobby, then it&#x27;s fine, who cares—if you wake up one day to find that the platform you&#x27;ve been using for your hobby projects now wants to charge you to use it or whatever, then it&#x27;s a bummer, but not a big deal, because you haven&#x27;t invested your business into the platform, you&#x27;re just partaking in a hobby.<p>Out-of-hand accusations of “lacking empathy” and the like when it comes to subject matters like this are inane, vapid, and really quite untoward. We&#x27;re talking about concrete things here like the technology used to make video games and its relation to treating game development as a business—not feelings, or inclusivity, or whatever it is you&#x27;re responding to with this verbiage.

SLAAC is basically an IPv6 alternative to how DHCP works. With IPv6, you can either use DHCPv6 (ISPs deliver Prefix Delegations and Normal Addresses this way) or SLAAC (How one typically gets an IPv6 address on a LAN or route from a Link-Local address on an ISP).<p>Hopefully that&#x27;s clear as mud ;) I would encourage you to go check out IPv6 if that was the intent of your original question. It actually makes more sense after you dive in, and can be pretty neat.<p>ULAs (Unique Local Address) are one often-overlooked part of which I&#x27;m an advocate.

Javascript somehow manages to grow without breaking backwards compatibility. So does C++. Breaking countless packages (and forks of packages) in the pursuit of something as nebulous as language purity is a big mistake. I happen to like explicit typing but it&#x27;s not the kind of thing you can graft onto a mature language without making awful compromises. Also, it pushes massive externalities onto the millions of people who rely on Python for their work.

Any more indepth analys about this?<p>Btw. you don&#x27;t just build AlphaFold by doing only &#x27;computers&#x27;. Take a look at any good docmentary about it and you will see that they do discuss chemistry on a deep level

What kind of world is this trying to create?<p>I see that lean startup is just search, to find problems to solve. But it&#x27;s also search to find people&#x27;s foibles, blind spots and weaknesses when it comes to exchanging money. in some ways all of marketing and business is just this. Do we really want to 10x that?<p>And a 10x proliferation of &#x27;experimental&#x27; products that popup and then probably disappear quickly.<p>It seems like this is just going to make a huge mess.

I have seen exclusively white people teams, especially at smaller startups. They were all Americans though, so not much diversity of nationalities.<p>Given that China and India are countries with 1.4B population, no surprise that one can find enough people to form exclusively Chinese (or Indian) teams. Another factor is that people from other backgrounds do not want to join such teams even if the hiring manager makes them an offer. When I was at a FAANG, my team composition slowly drifted towards only Chinese and Indian, as people from other backgrounds left in 6-12 months after an Indian manager came in.

Rent does not go up because your landlord has to compete with a landlord one town over where the tax didn&#x27;t go up and so if your rent goes up you will just move.

&gt; <i>they&#x27;re blocking ad blockers</i><p>I&#x27;ve tried uBlock Origin Lite on Chrome and it works... perfectly. I haven&#x27;t noticed a single ad get through.<p>And isn&#x27;t it supposed to be a lot more performant?<p>Before, I assumed Chrome really was trying to gradually stop ad-blocking. But now that I see it&#x27;s had literally zero impact, at least on the sites I visit, I&#x27;m starting to wonder what all the fuss was about. Was manifest v3 really about performance and security all along, and not about eliminating ad blockers?<p>Meanwhile, you can&#x27;t install adblocking on iOS Safari as an extension <i>at all</i>. But I never hear anybody bringing that up.

While I personally dislike this for &quot;aesthetic&quot; reasons, I do recognise that languages change and that&#x27;s fine. It used to be that very few people would read and write, but with the advent of the internet, text messaging, etc., written language is also evolving more &quot;democratically&quot;, similar to spoken language. There are also technological forces at work: I&#x27;ve mostly given up on writing compound words the proper way on mobile phones, because it just doesn&#x27;t work well with autocompletion, for example.<p>That said, I really dislike how &quot;bureaucratic&quot; German spelling rules are, including this recent addition. Instead of blanket allowing the use of an apostrophe for the genitive (at least for personal names), the new rule allows it only in very specific circumstances. I&#x27;m of the opinion that nobody should have to consult a complicated rulebook in order to write well (in fact, the best way is to just simply read a lot and then mimic what you read).<p>Then again, most people don&#x27;t need to care about what is or isn&#x27;t considered proper spelling. In theory it should matter for official documents etc., but that doesn&#x27;t mean that those never contain errors (quite the contrary, in my experience).

I think the point was making sure that code won’t break in the future. If you tell someone „use python 2 to run my script“, you know it’s going to work basically forever because the latest python 2 won’t be changed. That’s not true for python 3. I still think it’s a bad argument, but that’s what I understood the idea as.

I feel like this is just CSV but worse.

Yes, &quot;source available&quot; does mean exactly what it says. There is a class of projects, however, which are still looking for a term. They are all &quot;source available&quot;, but that&#x27;s not all there is to it (you could call all FOSS projects that too, but nobody does). The main difference is that they allow you to modify the code and even share the modifications (&quot;source available&quot; projects generally don&#x27;t).<p>Arguably, &quot;open source&quot; is the correct term to use, and FOSS should be called &quot;free source&quot;, but OSI made a mess there.<p>&quot;Fair source&quot; is as good a term as any. &quot;Cloud protected source&quot; (as in &quot;cloud protection licenses&quot;) also.<p>Current situation is not good for anyone except BigTech, but sure, let&#x27;s burn anyone trying to avoid unfair competition by actually using a &quot;fair source&quot; license.

I just replied to myself with an edit to the higher level comment. Sure, I use IPv6 with SLAAC. I&#x27;d never needed a separate daemon to handle it, though.

definitely my experience dealing with them at F500s. Indian mafia running the IT org, and a PITA to get things out of them.<p>personal favorite was that someone from network support ran a script that changed ownership of all of the docker containers and associated configs, outputs, and logs to root. we had pretty clear proof in the logs that a Cog support tech did it, and basically had to escalate to the CTO and get him to threaten a lawsuit to get them to fix it.<p>Also watched caste bulling play out in real time in a cramped meeting room in the RDU Triangle, in NC. Wasn&#x27;t clear what the strain was until later when a full-timer of Indian extraction explained it to me.

Some rich want to be known as rich and so they can brag about paying the most taxes that in turns implies they have the most money. Others want to be quieter about their wealth and so don&#x27;t want you to know they have it and wouldn&#x27;t tell you how much taxes they pay.

PEP contains lots of best practices that aren&#x27;t enforced by the interpreter though, doesn&#x27;t it? e.g. PEP 8. It&#x27;s been a while so maybe PEP 8 is more unique than I realize? It seems like a pretty sensible recommendation that wouldn&#x27;t necessarily need to change the way exceptions are handled by Python. Right there in PEP 8 it says in big text &quot;A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Little Minds.&quot; I imagine that enforcing this in the interpreter would fall under that, but it seems like a good piece of advice for folks new to the language, or more likely, new to coding.

But this is not even about language, it&#x27;s about spelling. For some reason, people forget that these are entirely different things. We are currently communicating in a language where there&#x27;s often times no relation between the written and spoken word at all.

Unit tests are for documenting the API contract for the user. You are going to target based on what you are willing to forevermore commit to for those who will use what you have created. Indeed, what happens when two messages come in with the same message ID is something the user needs to be aware of and how it functions needs to remain stable no matter what you do behind the scenes in the future, so you would absolutely want to document that behaviour. <i>How</i> it is implemented is irrelevant, though. The only thing that matters is that, from the public API perspective, it is handled appropriately.<p>There is a time and place for other types of tests, of course. You are right that unit tests are not the be all and end all. A good testing framework will allow you to mark for future developers which tests are &quot;set in stone&quot; and which are deemed throwaway.

This is pretty childish. But also, unfortunately, probably required by some legal team.

Languages change. I&#x27;m always amused that we get upset by that, but it&#x27;s going to keep happening.

Hey thank you - I&#x27;m still trying to optimise the mobile experience. It&#x27;s primarily meant to be desktop based. Will get working on it for you!

Between personal days and real holidays, there is a lot of middle ground. I recently learned about Petrov day, which is consistently celebrated as a holiday within small internet communities.

You forgot the part when it was cool to speak French among higher classes, and thus it got spread into many European languages as well.

I think it is definitely possible for ChatGPT to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.. maybe not this version or the next but eventually -- especially if it is by proxy aka as is the premise in &quot;The Wife&quot; (a good book&#x2F;movie btw).<p>There&#x27;s already precedent for anonymous creators, aka Banksy.

!! After my post, I discovered several AS3 WASM projects. Maybe one day I could revive my old project!

sexism and non-egalitarian behavior is pretty common across the globe. I&#x27;d argue that the west, esp. N America, is the exception, not the rule. and even there, there are pressures working against it.

O(nlogn) is probably reasonable. Why break up a long function then if you are experiencing O(nlogn) scaling of compile time on function size?

You should take this argument back to the OP or zahlman re. whether referencing Unicode implies agreement with any nonsense in the standard&#x27;s comments (such as rejecting the literal &quot;apostrophe&quot; to be used as an apostrophe).<p>I was responding to the list of symbols named &quot;apostrophe&quot;, where zahlman also seems to follow the consistent logic of only listing apostrophes, not quotes

With serious diminishing returns. At inference time, no reason to use fp64 and should probably use fp8 or less. The accuracy loss is far less than you&#x27;d expect. AFAIK Llama 3.2 3B fp4 will outperform Llama 3.2 1B at fp32 in accuracy and speed, despite 8x precision.
