41,800,509 | comment | runamok | 2024-10-10T16:28:19 | null | The history of racism in the US is long and complex. In essence we keep track of this sort of thing to try to prevent ongoing systemic racism. "You can't fix what you don't measure" and all that. It also doesn't need to be systemic racism per se. People tend to hire people like them due to unconscious biases so if your company is mostly "X" there are is a good chance it will continue hiring "X".<p>Here is one example that might be interesting: <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/04/11/1243713272/resume-bias-study-white-names-black-names" rel="nofollow">https://www.npr.org/2024/04/11/1243713272/resume-bias-study-...</a> | null | null | 41,796,518 | 41,785,265 | null | null | null | null |
41,800,510 | comment | throw16180339 | 2024-10-10T16:28:20 | null | There are no obvious changes to a widely used programming language standard.<p>Even small changes often require years and many revisions to be accepted - burnout is common. You would need to build a consensus that this change is desirable - that's highly unlikely at best. Strict aliasing has been widely implemented since the 1990s and many compilers benefit from the rules; many compiler vendors are on the committee. You'd have to convince them that they should make their customer's code slower.<p>What <i>might</i> be achievable, however, is some kind of technical report on undefined or implementation defined behavior. Many compilers have options that allow programs with some undefined behavior to behave as the user would expect. Microsoft's C and C++ compilers, for example, don't enforce strict aliasing and allow some forms of integer overflow in loop conditionals. There would be substantial value in defining a common profile for these options. It would still be an uphill battle to get it through the committee, though. | null | null | 41,797,508 | 41,757,701 | null | null | null | null |

It's perfectly possible to run forums/wikis/etc. on even just the free tier of Cloudflare/Oracle OCI.<p>The issue is that Wikia/Fandom, Reddit, etc. subsumed most other alternatives by offering what was for a long time a legitimately convenient and decent-quality service, but now that communities are too locked in to move (due to intentional measures like changing forking policy, and the community having to fight against network effect/SEO) they enshittify to squeeze out profit. Result is a worse site than if Fandom/etc. had never existed.<p>Relatively optimistic about movement towards structures that resist this kind of exploitation. | null | null | 41,799,052 | 41,797,719 | null | [

41,800,524 | comment | cookmeplox | 2024-10-10T16:29:29 | null | Thanks! I've been meaning to write up a post that talks about some of the specific tricks we're using. A couple big ones:<p>- Heavy use of Cloudflare Workers to cache ~95% of logged-out pageviews, with a particular focus on doing a lot of edge-side modifications to minimize cache fragmentation<p>- Using the MediaWiki jobrunners to repopulate the <i>parser cache</i> before pageviews are requested, so even when pageviews hit the server, there's a high chance that the core contents have already been computed somewhere<p>- I realized that MediaWiki latency is usually dominated by I/O wait time. For example, some pageviews require thousands of synchronous database/redis cache reads, so the difference between 0.5ms lookup and 0.1ms lookup adds up. So we colocated more of those caches on the same physical machines as the webservers that were reading them, which on average dropped latency by ~40% | null | null | 41,799,478 | 41,797,719 | null | [

It keeps the spam down, yes, but also new users away.<p>Note: The reason I'm writing I'm _considering_ reaching out and not just straight up reaching out is because the domain itself has a different owner than me, and I want to make sure they are also approving of this decision. | null | null | 41,799,696 | 41,797,719 | null | [

41,800,531 | comment | jchw | 2024-10-10T16:30:10 | null | In my experience this hasn't been necessary yet on anything I've ran. I know WMF wikis run Varnish or something, but personally I'm trying to keep costs and complexity minimal. To that end, more caching isn't always desirable, because RAM is especially premium on low-end boxen. When tuned well, read-only requests on MediaWiki are not a huge problem. The <i>real</i> issue is actually just keeping the FPM worker pool from getting starved, but when it is starved, it's not because of read-only requests, but usually because of database contention preventing requests from finishing. (And to that end, enabling application-level caching usually will help a lot here, since it can save having to hit the DB at all.) PHP itself is plenty fast enough to serve a decent number of requests per second on a low end box. I won't put a number on it since it is obviously significantly workload-dependent but it would suffice to say that my concerns with optimizing PHP software usually tilt towards memory usage and database performance rather than the actual speed of PHP. (Which, in my experience, has also improved quite a lot just by virtue of PHP itself improving. I think the JIT work has great potential to push it further, too.)<p>The calculus on this probably changes dramatically as the RPS scales up, though. Not doing work will always be better than doing work in the long run. It's just that it's a memory/time trade-off and I wouldn't take it for granted that it always gives you the most cost-effective end result. | null | null | 41,800,007 | 41,797,719 | null | [

41,800,541 | comment | int_19h | 2024-10-10T16:30:39 | null | Learned phonotactics matters, though, and many languages distinguish between what's allowed on word or morpheme boundaries vs what's allowed within a single syllable - so even if phonemically it's the same cluster, it can still be difficult to learn to pronounce it correctly in the second case.<p>There are quite a few languages where both vowel and consonant systems are simple - just look at Polynesian languages such as Māori. The latter's vowel system is 5-vowel, and "long vowels" are phonemically vowel sequences that span moras. But, yes, it does mean that you end up with long words such as "whakararurarutia". That said, it's a rather extreme case, and one can still construct fairly simple but rich consonant systems in practice, because it's basically combinatorics - adding just one more bit of information doubles the domain space! So e.g. if you start with a strict CV consonant system and allow C(l/r)V, that's almost 4x as many contrasting syllables.

41,800,545 | comment | ryandrake | 2024-10-10T16:31:07 | null | > Programmers should not be empowered to perform roles for which they are an ill fit. In general, programmers are detailists who speak the language of the computer; they do not have a big-picture perspective nor do they understand the problem in business terms. Their social skills are very often lacking, and they are prone to arrogance.<p>This seems like a problem that can be solved during hiring. These are not necessarily attributes of programmers in general, maybe just the ones you are finding.<p>I've worked at companies where Product and Engineering roles were separate, and information had to pass between the two in the form of docs, conversations, specs, charts and so on. I've also worked at companies where there was no dedicated product role: Engineering was responsible for the implementation, the design, the product-market fit, the customer need, everything. Honestly I think that way works better, because there is no necessary back-and-forth negotiation about priorities, features, and quality (except what goes on in the tech lead's own mind). No need to have some separate person go talk to the customer and deliver requirements to engineering on a platter. It's much more efficient. You just need to hire the engineers who are not just ticket-implementors, but who can also do the product and business work. | null | null | 41,800,469 | 41,797,009 | null | [

They force you to really think through what you're trying to do, and there are no shortcuts.<p>The irony is that the state machine pattern itself kind of is a shortcut to stable, reliable, safe code. People find them overly complex and full of ceremony, but it's like... Do you really want to try getting the same assurances from your code without this kind of abstraction? I'd rather know my I can't shoot myself in the foot, because I guarantee you that I will.<p>Elixir also has the added layer of unfamiliarity for a lot of people (myself included) where you might intuitively know how to do something imperatively, but you need to do it within the FP paradigm. I like FP and have adopted a lot of its patterns all over the place, but I still find I'm not a great FP thinker in general. After something like 10 years. My FP-fu is limited to relatively basic operations, and when I go into advanced territory I'm constantly leaning on reference material. That's more so a skill issue than an Elixir issue. | null | null | 41,796,080 | 41,792,304 | null | [

If they then need to learn a bunch of English in order to speak French, well there's even less of a chance that they'll be able to spend a lot of their life speaking Gallo.<p>IDK maybe it will make no difference for those languages; French will crowd them out regardless of how much English there is in French. | null | null | 41,788,256 | 41,787,647 | null | null | null | null |

Then, Americans repudiated confederal government in 1787 as impotent and unworkable and adapted a new federal constitution. The opponents of the new charter, the Anti Federalists argued that a Swiss style government was still a viable model which offered the best hope for the preservation of American liberty. The Swiss themselves repudiated confederate government in 1848 using many of the same arguments Americans had marshalled against it in 1787 and adapted a Federal constitution modelled after the American constitution of 1787. After the Civil War many American state and local governments adapted constitutional reforms borrowed from the Swiss.

High dot.<p>This is a great point. Blood pressure readings are only useful in the context of stationary measurements under known conditions. Blood pressure is inherently volatile and depends on activity and recent movements, or to extreme events like cold exposure.<p>There are even finger-cuff blood pressure monitors designed for continuous, constant blood pressure measurement in the context of a lab or hospital setting.

Can someone recommend perhaps a book size read on the history of how we came to learn of its value and help illuminate well... what it even is? | null | null | 41,799,324 | 41,799,324 | null | null | null | null |

41,800,588 | comment | bialpio | 2024-10-10T16:35:20 | null | Current system theoretically allows for the presidency to be won even though the candidate got less than 30% of the popular vote. In my opinion the existence of such an edge case makes it undefendable.<p>What do you mean here by "incentivizes fraud"? Lying on the campaign trail is not fraud. In any case, the same argument about fraud still applies, you just need to target swing states. | null | null | 41,794,662 | 41,792,780 | null | [

Do they really think that a completely unsealed cardboard box with holes in it is keeping out all the germs?<p>Sometimes I think we've really failed ourselves regarding basic biology and education requirements. | null | null | 41,800,395 | 41,765,006 | null | [

41,800,591 | comment | ewoodrich | 2024-10-10T16:35:30 | null | ChromeOS uses the Linux kernel but unless you enable developer mode (which has multiple levels of scary warnings including on every boot and requires completely wiping the device to enable) everything runs in the Chrome web sandbox or the Android VM.<p>A ChromeOS user isn't apt-get installing binaries or copy/pasting bash one liners from Github. If you enable the Linux dev environment, that also runs in an isolated VM with a much more limited attack surface vs say an out of the box Ubuntu install. Both the Android VM and Linux VM can and routinely are blocked by MDM in school or work contexts.<p>You could lock down a Linux install with SELinux policies and various other restrictions but on ChromeOS it's the default mode that 99% of users are protected by (or limited by depending on your perspective). | null | null | 41,798,718 | 41,795,561 | null | [

41,800,594 | comment | thereddaikon | 2024-10-10T16:36:20 | null | Can we stop this capitalism boogeyman thing? Market economies don't force people to conduct business this way. We've had our current system for a long time and while corporate raiding has always existed the current epidemic is very recent. Its the result of a complex confluence of market, legal, regulatory and competitive forces that make it an ideal move for many businesses. | null | null | 41,799,921 | 41,797,719 | null | null | null | null |
41,800,595 | comment | thomastjeffery | 2024-10-10T16:36:24 | null | I suppose that "use this before" and "this is best if used before" would be preferable.<p>The compromise here is to keep printing as short as possible. I think the greater issue is that these statements don't point to any trivially available authoritative definition. | null | null | 41,800,440 | 41,765,006 | null | [

Meanwhile an enormous amount of food is shipped in, and even <i>cooked in</i>, plastic directly.<p>Of course you're right in the sense that when it comes to our general environment textiles produce far more environmental microplastics than most other sources. Particularly in our water systems. | null | null | 41,800,511 | 41,765,006 | null | [

41,800,597 | comment | Nadya | 2024-10-10T16:36:25 | null | To my understanding wikis can take all their data, host it themselves, point the domain to their new hosting, and the move would be entirely invisible to end users if done properly and the quality of the hosting infrastructure wasn't considerably worse.<p>Observant users might notice the removal of any Weird Gloop branding but otherwise the only way people would know if the wiki itself announces the move or performance of the wiki becomes noticeably worse.<p>And Weird Gloop won't do what Fandom does and keep a zombie copy of your wiki online. So you won't be competing with Weird Gloop wiki traffic to reclaim your traffic. In fact, the obligations they agree to forbid it.<p>Reading the Minecraft.wiki Memorandum: <a href="https://meta.minecraft.wiki/w/Memorandum_of_Understanding_with_Weird_Gloop" rel="nofollow">https://meta.minecraft.wiki/w/Memorandum_of_Understanding_wi...</a><p>Upon termination by either party, Weird Gloop is obligated to:<p>- Cease operating any version of the Minecraft Wiki<p>- Transfer ownership of the minecraft.wiki domain to the community members<p>- Provide dumps of Minecraft Wiki databases and image repositories, and any of Weird Gloop's MediaWiki configuration that is specific to Minecraft Wiki<p>- Assist in transferring to the community members any domain-adjacent assets or accounts that cannot reasonably be acquired without Weird Gloop's cooperation<p>- This does not include any of Weird Gloop's core MediaWiki code, Cloudflare configuration, or accounts/relationships related to advertising or sponsorships<p>This sort of agreement means Weird Gloop is incentivized to <i>not</i> become so shit that wiki would want to leave (and take their ad revenue with them) because they've tried to make leaving Weird Gloop as easy as possible. | null | null | 41,800,148 | 41,797,719 | null | [

41,800,599 | comment | Retric | 2024-10-10T16:36:34 | null | There’s also a 3rd option. When something is a critical priority leveraging other people’s time and expertise may be considered completely appropriate by the organization. As in not getting something fixed is costing 6+ figures per hour.<p>Obviously the frequency of such events should be watched closely, but sometimes it’s a good idea to drop what you’re doing and get more directly involved. | null | null | 41,796,869 | 41,765,127 | null | [
