That blog post isn't nearly strong enough to support the statement that "this is incorrect".
The conclusion of the unrefereed blog post is merely the much more equivocal:
" What about that much-publicized “50 percent” claim, or for that matter the not-so-well-publicized but even more dramatic “increases by severalfold”? I have no idea. I’ll reserve judgment until someone can show me where that result appears in the published paper. It’s gotta be there somewhere."
> I agree that blind auditions can make sense—even if they do not have the large effects claimed in that 2000 paper, or indeed even if they have no aggregate relative effects on men and women at all.
so, what the OP said
> Many orchestras switched to blind auditions, and it drastically increased the number of female musicians.
is incorrect because quoting again from the article:
> or indeed even if they have no aggregate relative effects on men and women at all.
A clause that begins with "even if" is a hypothetical and should not be taken as declarative. The author is saying that they don't know whether the number in question is correct, they're not saying that they believe it to be incorrect. Hence "I’ll reserve judgment".
The bit starting with "even if" is just saying that it doesn't matter to them: either way they're still in favor of blind auditions.
> but remember just a few years ago when Turkey shot down a Russian jet on the Syrian border and almost led to NATO involvement
It led to nothing, Turkey asked for Patriot missile systems (to protect from attacks from Syria, not Russia or Black Sea), which were hastily provided. Russia started cutting economical ties with Turkey, Erdoğan wrote a personal apology letter to Putin, and after that things got better.
it's a common thing across Europe that people of Muslim descent/culture vote for socialism very heavily, I believe it's because of a strong common ground between their culture and the view of the State in socialism (this happens with Jewish people too, and to a lesser extent rural Catholics)
It comes from the desperation of the mind when it’s in a very bad place. It grows bottom up.
Unlike long running state propaganda that runs top down.
At some point Ukrainian propaganda will start to cost them and they’ll need to hit the brakes. I hope they’ll be in a position where that’s a priority.
From the fact that nations that fight to the end and survive in myth live on to manifest again while those that give up the fight and surrender save lives but rarely become sovereign again.
Also in the idea of elite troops who it is hopeless to fight against. Myth is incredibly powerful in war and for the long term survival of a nation or state.
It's not propaganda in the same way as in Russia because the state did not make it. The notion comes from being in a war - it's absulutely terrible, disgusting experience, so people start making myths to feel some hope, and perpetuate them.
Some of Ukrainian propaganda are myths designed to bolster morale of the local population, some (such as claiming that >10k Russian soldiers are dead, fake videos of Russian POWs, spreading rumors that martial law will be declared on Friday in Russia) is offensive disinformation clearly aimed at Russians.
I know I'm the niche of the niche, but many fonts I tried, have problems rendering Turkish characters e.g "ş" "ı" "ğ" "ü", does the font support these, if yes, could we get a screenshot with iTerm2 if possible? :)
That paper smacks of a Chesterton Fence. They haven't come up with a tested replacement for many of the use cases, i.e.:
These designs are not yet general enough to cover all the use-cases outlined above, but perhaps can serve as a starting point...
yet bullet #1 in the next paragraph is
Deprecate Fork
I think this is a case of security guys being upset about fork gumming-up their experiments. I don't really care about their experiments. The security regime for the past 20 years may have bought us a little more security against eastern bloc hackers, but it hasn't done squat to protect us from Apple, Google, & Microsoft! I have never had a virus de-rail my computing life as much as the automatic Windows 10 upgrade. Robert Morris got 400 hours community service for a relatively benign worm. If that's the penalty scale, Redmond should get actual time in the slammer for Cortana, forced Windows Update, and adding telemetry to Calculator.
You fail to address any of the substance of their paper, or of my gist (TFA), then go on a rant about unrelated things. The authors of that paper deserve better treatment even if you hate Microsoft.
I did. Chesterton Fence. fork() has been in Unix from the beginning. Taking it out at this point will cause more problems than it solves. Until you have a working Unix distro (kernel AND common userland services) that elegantly covers all of the forkless cases, your paper and their paper are just opinions. Theirs is a formally written one. Yours is a clickbaity one. And casting vfork() as any kind of improvement here is just bonkers.
And the rant is totally related: i.e. devs breaking things that worked just fine to begin with for the sake of doctrinal purity. It is usually a false doctrine.
I'm not proposing that fork() be removed. Microsoft is much more interested in not ever implementing fork() than I am in removing it. So your dilapidated fence can stay up where it's up.
I use LanguageTool daily since some years and it’s been an absolute pleasure with both English and German. Add to that, the bugs I reported for both language were fixed in mere hours.
