According to Baroness Falkner on R4 this morning, they can use their considerable lobbying power to advocate for “third spaces.” She actually said that about trans people, not intersex, but I presume her response would have been the same.
But in the meantime, going anywhere (or doing any sport) is probably off the cards. But thank goodness we have “clarity”, right?
I’m not sure if that opening sentence is fatuous or not. What errors in any industrial enterprise are not human in origin?
It doesn’t, but if it did that’d explain why there isn’t much of it around.
That’s actually the idea. It’s not general precrime, it’s a decision support tool for predicting recidivism when deciding parole cases.
That doesn’t mean it’s not on decidedly shonky ground statistically speaking.
570 recorded homicides between March 2023 and 2024.
Data on “hundreds of thousands” of people can’t provide the distinguishing markers to even have a stab at this.
It can reliably predict when people are black, though.
Sweden’s former minister for equality had a particular interest in these.
Not just domain logic. The implementation logic is often weird too. Cobol systems have crash/restart behaviour and other obscure semantics that often end up being used in anger; it’s like using exceptions for control flow, but exceedingly obscure and unfortunately (from what I’ve seen of production cobol) a “common trick” in lots of real-world deployments.
Wait until you hear why Cambridge exists.
Then help. If you see the problem, help provide the fix. Enthusiasm, energy, and skill raises everyone’s game. Whining just compounds the issue.
It’s a team sport. You’re not a team player. Don’t stand there like a lump, “hiding”. Create pressure, opportunity, and space for your teammates. The goal of the game is not for you to score. The goal of the game is for your team to score.
You sound like a broken tool.
If you tend to hide, not be available to receive a pass, and not help in a team sport, then you need to reevaluate your level of ability.
Grimes is on 4chan?!
The score for “The Mission” is another absolutely cracking one.
Developers aren’t the ones at fault here.
Possibly the thing that was intended to be deployed was. What got pushed out was 40kB of all zeroes. Could’ve been corrupted some way down the CI chain.
Check Crowdstrike’s blurb about the 1-10-60 rule.
You can bet that they have a KPI that says they can deliver a patch in under 15m; that can preclude testing.
Although that would have caught it, what happened here is that 40k of nuls got signed and delivered as config. Which means that unparseable config on the path from CnC to ring0 could cause a crash and was never covered by a test.
It’s a hell of a miss, even if you’re prepared to accept the argument about testing on the critical path.
(There is an argument that in some cases you want security aystems to fail closed; however that’s an extreme case - PoS systems don’t fall into that - and you want to opt into that explicitly, not due to a test omission.)
The “why” is that the import system is caching modules in sys.modules.
The “what to do about it” is “not this”. Use a package layout with explicit names (p1.generic_name etc) instead.
You can use relative imports under those packages if you prefer (from .generic_name import ...).
If you want executables on the path look at setup.py or any of the myriad of overlapping modern equivalents that’ll let you specify a command-libe executable to install, then pip install -e . to install it in your venv’s bin dir.
Here’s another. You being you isn’t a line of defence if someone decides to murder you on a date.
Serious answer then: you won’t be fired for being yourself.
When I had this conversation with a trans mate (who had a fucking awful Daily Heil-reading co-worker with no notion of what was appropriate conversation for the workplace) I said, “hang on a moment, isn’t [being fired over being out] illegal?” He said, “yes, but it doesn’t stop it happening.”
I believed him - he was living it, he had the experience. Conversations with him involved me getting smacked in the face with my own privilege on a regular basis. You have it easy.
The answer to all your “okay I was wrong, but…” questions is “no”.
