I heard these furry suits are crazy expensive. Really kind of him that he's working so hard to make her dream become true.

Hey bro, you mind if I watch you being alone?

rbn ,

Amazing video which must have caused a huge amount of preparation work. Thanks for sharing!

rbn ,

Thanks for the hint. When I actively searched for updates, my 6A found and downloaded the patches.

If you consider only the RAM on the developers' PCs maybe. If you count in thousands of customer PCs then optimizing the code outperforms hardware upgrades pretty fast. If because of a new Windows feature millions have to buy new hardware that's pretty desastrous from a sustainability point of view.

As far as I know there is no plan to phase out Manifest V2 at Mozilla. As long as V2 and V3 are active in parallel it shouldn't have a negative Impact on adblockers etc.

Wouldn't it rather be DEL? CUT can only move stuff elsewhere and doesn't just delete stuff.

Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men (www.researchgate.net)

Our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's [when their gender is hidden]. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.

Anyone found the specific numbers of acceptance rate with in comparison to no knowledge of the gender?

On researchgate I only found the abstract and a chart that doesn't indicate exactly which numbers are shown.

Interesting for me is that not only women but also men had significantly lower accepance rates once their gender was disclosed. So either we as humans have a really strange bias here or non binary coders are the only ones trusted.

I'm not sure if I like the method of disclosing people's gender here. Gendered profiles had their full name as their user name and/or a photography as their profile picture that indicates a gender.

So it's not only a gendered VS. non-gendered but also a anonymous VS. indentified individual comparison.

And apparantly we trust people more if we know more about their skills (insiders rank way higher than outsiders) and less about the person behind (pseudonym VS. name/photography).

Thank you. Unfortunately, your link doesn't work either - it just leads to the creative commons information). Maybe it's an issue with Firefox Mobile and Adblockers. I'll check it out later on a PC.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Seems like a wild idea as...
a) it poisons the data not only for AI but also real users like me (I swear I'm not a bot :D).
b) if this approach is used more widely, AIs will learn very fast to identify and ignore such non-sense links and probably much faster than real humans.

It sounds like a similar concept as captchas which annoy real people, yet fail to block out bots.

The study differentiates between male and female only and purely based on physical features such as eye brows, mustache etc.

I agree you can't see one's gender but I would say for the study this can be ignored. If you want to measure a bias ('women code better/worse than men'), it only matters what people believe to see. So if a person looks rather male than female for a majority of GitHub users, it can be counted as male in the statistics. Even if they have the opposite sex, are non-binary or indentify as something else, it shouldn't impact one's bias.

The Guardian counted 50000 only. Any higher bids?

I'm really wondering if accidents like this happened all the time and the press just started to highlight it more often or if Boeing planes are actually just falling apart after take off...

Not sure if it's just me but personally Boss in general feels like an anti status symbol. Whenever I see someone wearing clothes with an obvious Boss logo on it I cringe a bit and think of them having a very low self esteem and poor spending habits...

rbn ,

Does anyone know if there is a way to do one-time donations to Newpipe without signing up for Libera Pay? E.g. did the team publish their IBAN or PayPal account?

rbn ,

Agreed! Comments on comments were the last reason I sometimes went back to the original YouTube app!

*a rough rule of pinkie

rbn ,

Or maybe a transparent plastic bottle is the water equivalent of a penthouse. You're being carried around by a servant all day and you've got a nice 360° view on the surroundings.

Unlike these poor homeless droplets in the ocean. Being pushed around by the wind permanenly, fish pooping on you and no privacy at all.

rbn ,

I often take the link from the project's Wikipedia page if it's big enough to have one.

rbn ,

True but I'd hope that there's still some review for the bigger projects. Of course, it's possible that a malicious link is inserted right before I go there but it's still more reliable than just chosing the first result on Google.

rbn ,

So it's like an open source version of meet up, right?

  1. Newer washing machines vary in time depending on how dirty your clothes are. So the same program may take 50 minutes or 90 minutes. This cannot be solved with a regular timer.

  2. If you have a job with varying hours, you might want to start the washing mashine when you're heading home. Then you're clothes are ready to be hung as you arrive and they aren't laying around for hours.

  3. If you own photovoltaic, you might want to time energy intense home appliances such as washing machines, dish washers etc. to a period of overproduction.

Not saying, these issues are super important but there definitely are use cases for smart devices. However, I'd always recommend using a local / self-hosted rather than a cloud-based solution.

Not a washing machine technician but I guess an optical sensor measuring the light permeability of the water (over time) should do the trick. Similar to a smoke detector. But I guess weight is a thing as well.
