> Proportional enrollment based on race? Yes. “Antiracist” doesn’t mean “not racist”; it’s a Marxist ideology focusing on racial identities and purposeful systemic racism to “balance” the power between racial tribes. It’s extremely rac

GP talked about using Docker to do complex single host deployments until they needed horizontal scaling, which given max VM power, is after they can afford someone to manage it for them. That makes me think they have multiple services of va

I used Docker for embedded. Running a cluster across your IOT fleet (1k+ devices; 5-10 apps each) gives a nice interface for pushing out tasks, choosing applications for a device, configuring supervisor-device relationships, etc. It turns o

I use Docker without the network virtualization as a package manager. Docker make it easy to run the same version of code in different places and let’s things run next to each other without version conflicts. Also, I think you’re in a very

It’s a trade off: Younger workers have less to lose, so tend to leave more — but they’re also less experienced and tend to have lower expectations for the workplace. Older workers are less likely to leave because it’s disruptive, but they’r

The realization at the end of your post is what the author is trying to get people to reach about software. The category theory for programmers crowd argue that categorical diagrams (annotated graphs) are the right way to reason about softw

These are the people who “fortified” the election. Expect more authoritarian behavior.

Anyone who thought them censoring a sitting US president was the end of it is kidding themselves.

That’s something Amazon does well: Principal engineers are expected to give talks about their experience, which are heavily attended in person and widely shared. It’s not perfect, but it’s less abstract when one or two concepts at a time, t

A margin call on a stock you halted trading in smells like fraud. It’s like the bank banning selling your home then repossessing it when the value falls. Crooked entirely.

It’s not unbelievable, but it does sound like a breach of fiduciary duties to side with investors against your clients. Is what RH doing legal for a brokerage?

No, the problem is the technology as such: Voting is a system that needs to be simple, transparent, and auditable. The technical solutions are 0/3 and an example of “over engineering” leading to a poor quality solution. Our current vot

It’s only “free speech” when Twitter is used to plan violent riots in Seattle for the past year. Got it. That Apple, Google, and Amazon continue to host Twitter despite its continued use in planning violence speaks to the double standard co

Twitter can cease offering service in Poland if they don’t like it. Poland has (wisely) decided social media is like telephones and you can’t stop providing service because of what customers say, as long as it is legal. Good for them. Polan

I always find this a bit like “do submarines swim?” Dunno, don’t care, just want a functional machine. If it gets from A to B, “swimming” is irrelevant. ———— As a matter of philosophy, the typical response is qualia happens to everything, b

You actually noticed something deeper than your original question — “continuity of logic”, in the sense of “continuous function”. If you imagine you have a lot of inputs to a predicate, then the topology of their truthiness tells you someth

So cyber criminals stole millions of peoples private communications and leaked them online — people who did nothing and who are under no individual suspicion? And HN is cheering? Patriot Act 2.0 in 3... 2... 1.... What’s extra funny is I re

It’s more than that: “Bike 3 out of 5 days to the office” is a reflection of your goals as a human — fitness, enjoying the outdoors, whatever. The problem is our natural inclination to be lazy and take the bus prevents us from accomplishing

It’s a huge difference — you’re increasing by 20-40%! Which means you’re dropping to 75-100 PSI... which is also a big change from 120 PSI. 1.5 the width and 0.65 the pressure is a “big” change for a part like a tire. That it’s because we a

Sure, could be. My testing pointed towards a DRM problem, since it doesn’t happen with other video streaming or with rendering outside the particular Chrome + Hulu combination. My point is two-fold: 1. Even if the driver crashes, the OS sho

To concur: My laptop running Windows hangs periodically requiring a hard reset... if I watch Hulu on Chrome. At least twice a week and sometimes multiple times a day. At least Windows in the 90s had the decency to put up a blue screen — now

Why not just point a webcam at a bed of them? You can do image analysis to count the shellfish in the image, and attach an “open” or “closed” status to each. Once you have a reliable field of Boolean values, you can detect anomalies in the

What? I can’t make sense of what you’re even trying to say: 1. That the mechanism of harm is different tells us nothing about the relative risks. I don’t OD on cars, but cars are riskier than Asprin. 2. You can have long term negative impac

This is something I think Amazon does well: their behavioral questions have a known format and prompt, and their recruiters tell you that and that you should practice. At Amazon, the behavioral questions should be a STAR format response to
