Vaxry was acting Polish in front of Drew DeVault and was immediately labeled nazi apologist.

The discussion went like this:

— is there anything that could sway your opinion towards genocide? — well, claiming "no" would be presumptuous, I am just a human, so, probably yes? — I rest my case

Japan is weird

why do you even need a temporary file?

I'm surprised nobody said it yet. Welcome back!

Yes

It is impossible to satisfy all minorities at once. The best outcome is to pick an adequate, sane person from the community with proper mindset and proper judgement, irrelevant if they're from a minority or not.

I think you are right here. By cherry-picking gender minorities we sow a dissent and we underline their "otherness" from everyone else.

I am from an ethnic minority myself, and somehow people perceive us as maniacs and killers, try to burn our houses and fire us from work. Often it's the same people who preach equality and diversity. Somehow in my case they don't care about "empowerment" or "representation" at all. And somehow, the only place I feel comfortable is 4chan, where no one gives a damn who you are, and everyone's racist and sexist. To everyone else. Equally.

Suppose I have 1000 people from community and 10 out of them are gender minorities. I then have 5 projects, each with 10 members on board committee, and I want a representative of gender minority in each of them. And I choose hard workers based on merit, the best of the best.

In such case I will be choosing 9*5 = 45 people out of 1000, and specifically I add 1*5 = 5 people out of those 10.

So the board committees will have 45 members each with (worst case) 955/1000 = 95.5% percentile performance, and additionally 5 members of gender minorities, each with mediocre 5/10 = 50% performance.

The gender minorities will perform worse, because we specifically singled them out of the crowd. This is not how you improve diversity.

I didn't understand a thing about what the actual issues were.

Based on comments I can see that Jon Ringer objected to inserting gender minority person as a requirement for committee board.

So, why is he wrong? I totally agree that gender minorities deserve recognition, but making it a hard requirement for having a committee board sounds like nepotism.

Same here, but it turned out a lot of frameworks like tensorflow or pytorch do support AMD ROCm framework. I managed to run most models just by installing a rocm version of these dependencies instead of the default one.

Just straight up overwriting boot sector and superblock of my hard drive thinking it's the USB drive.

Udev tried to warn me, saying there's no permission, and I just typed sudo without thinking.

Then after a second I remembered USB block devices are usually writable by users, but it was too late.

We spent 1 year negotiating implementation of secure Linux workstation, and now after endless meetings and agreements I can proudly say we have 5 people with fully GNU/Linux laptops! Dell XPS, to be precise.
