rbn , to 196 in rule i guess

Or he's having vast amounts of life energy.

rbn , to Comic Strips in You have 3 wishes

I dunno. If he told the djinn 'Give me a nice car' or 'Make Trump eat a pile of dog poop' in response to the offering of 3 wishes, that qualifies as a wish to me even though it doesn't contain the word.

rbn , to Comic Strips in You have 3 wishes

Why not? If I wish that someone ignores something, that's a valid wish IMO.

rbn , to 196 in Hard Work Rule :3

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

rbn , to 196 in 4 year ruled Lemmy meme to put things into perspective

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

rbn , to Technology in A dive into the tiny, silicon accelerometers and gyros in your phone

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

rbn , to Cybersecurity in Google warns of actively exploited Pixel firmware zero-day

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

rbn , to linuxmemes in I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen.

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.

rbn , to Technology in Manifest V2 phase-out begins

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.

rbn , to Free and Open Source Software in Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men

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.

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.

rbn , to Free and Open Source Software in Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men

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.

rbn , (edited ) to Free and Open Source Software in Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men

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).
