There is some evidence that girls are doing better in school:

> The Hundred Girls Project tells us some really nice statistics. For example, for every 100 girls that are suspended from school, there are 250 boys that are suspended from school. For every 100 girls who are expelled from school, there are 335 boys who are expelled from school. For every 100 girls in special education, there are 217 boys. For every 100 girls with a learning disability, there are 276 boys. For every 100 girls with an emotional disturbance diagnosed, we have 324 boys. And by the way, all of these numbers are significantly higher if you happen to be black, if you happen to be poor, if you happen to exist in an overcrowded school. And if you are a boy, you're four times as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD -- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

There are now also more women in college than there are men, proportionately, and for the same reasons that Chellman outlines:

> Another aspect in the reversal of the college gender gap, rather than just its elimination, is the persistence of behavioral and developmental differences between males and females. Boys often mature more slowly than girls. In grades K-12, boys tend to have a higher incidence of behavioral problems (or lower level of non-cognitive skills) than girls. Girls spend more time doing homework than boys. These behavioral factors, after adjusting for family background, test scores, and high school achievement, can explain virtually the entire female advantage in getting into college for the high school graduating class of 1992, the authors figure. It allowed "girls to leapfrog over boys in the race to college." Similarly, teenage boys, both in the early 1980s and late 1990s, had a higher (self-reported) incidence of arrests and school suspensions than teenage girls.

Pretty ironic you've been posting here for 4 years to a site built with a language that's not useful.
Like fuck it is. Sex can be a fun and healthy activity, and it's something teenagers can do to enjoy themselves. Simply be aware of the risks, and be sensible.

Likewise, eating can be fun and pleasurable, but be aware of the risks and make sensible decisions.

Deliberately making food less nutritious so that you can shovel more of it into your mouth is akin to bulimia without the vomiting. Doing it should be a big loud alarm inside someone's head, but if they're damaged enough already to seriously consider it, it probably doesn't. Helping these people indulge themselves is grotesque.
The latter.

It is absolutely possible to legally use React while going ahead and suing Facebook. You do not lose your license to React by suing Facebook.

What you do lose is an explicit grant of additional patent rights - the grant given in the PATENTS file. Note that there is no specification therein regarding what patents might be covered; it's completely possible that none of Facebook's patents have anything to do with React. I haven't looked. in any case, patents are totally distinct from you license to use React.
The interviews are trapped behind a spamwall. You can't reach them until you divulge your email address. Once you're on the list, only then do they admit that they actually only have one interview available so far, and send you a link to download it.

Edit: Originally, I included the direct-download link here. But Andrew's made some changes to the site's UI in the past hour which directly addressed my biggest objections, so I'm removing it.

noob angel here - what is the maximum valuation box for? I figured if you are investor you want that number as low as possible and the company wants that number to be max big. I tried putting in .000001M but says "must be at least 5M". Is there any reason you would make it bigger than 5M?
Yeah, like helping sponsor and organize Event 201, a global novel coronavirus pandemic simulation, just a few weeks before the actual coronavirus began last year.

And, now that that exact pandemic is underway, he’s kind enough to offer us ID2020[2], which he has been working on for some time now, coincidentally just in time for the pandemic; invisible tattoos so that our vaccination status can be tracked, to help prevent those who don’t want to take part in this scheme from having access to business resources, etc.

It’s funny; it’s almost as if Bill Gates can see the future. He really is amazing.

Something like this happened in Belfast a few years ago.
Terrorists (or loveable rouges if your American) robbed a bank and accidentally stole $50M - they hadn't realised how much was in the boxes. The bank simply changed the design of the notes making them worthless.

But when the bank issued the range of stolen serial numbers it forgot that a small local firm had paid it's wages in cash from the same batch earlier that day.
For weeks there were Police raids on small corner shops when a little old lady used a 'stolen' note.

Elm is a good example of what you’re talking about, though it “cheats” a bit by being quite domain specific.

Anyway it’s simultaneously a very simplified cousin of Haskell (similar syntax but most of the advanced syntactic and type stuff dropped), and where the current movement to make compiler error message more readable, conversational, and helpful (e.g. decoration, explaining the “reasoning”, providing possible solutions) originates.
Wow this is actually true. I have no idea how I'm only realizing this now
There are (a few) very good reasons not to use UTF-8. It's a great encoding but not suitable for all cases.

For example, constant time subscripting, or improved length calculations, are made possible by encodings other than utf-8.

But when performance isn't critical, utf-8 should be the default. I don't see a reason for any other encoding.
While crossing the Atlantic ocean there were only a few domains whitelisted for our Iridium Go satellite modem. Email, obviously. Predictwind, for weather, and Hacker News.

Bandwidth maxed at 2400bps (yes, really) and HN was the only news site I trusted not to overload my dripping faucet of an internet connection. The modems built-in browser stripped HN down to the bare minimum to be legible.

I really appreciate the thought that goes into making a lightweight, information heavy site.
Having a as long as possible todo list with easily achievable tasks and a nice big button to check them as done. That has worked the best so far for me.
So one pastor in Germany said things century ago, based on false claims on what others said. That's like making a big deal of someone saying something on Twitter today. If a major religion actually said that women have no souls, that could lead to some problematic practices. Though there are people who claim they have multiple souls and presumably most of them do not act superior to single soul simpletons. But since Christianity never adopted such claims, what is the story here except that there is no story?
Much of the "magic" of Kinect is performed inside the Kinect, so open drivers still require you to buy a Kinect.
Symbian has more units than iPhone but the iPhone has more apps.

Number does not equal app sales.
Bizarre claim. Doesn't seem to have affected Linux/Android or git itself from achieving widespread use.
Symbolic logic. Years ago, I did a paper in logic which my professors initially took to be of publishable quality. They took a closer look and decided that I needed to clean it up a bit.

I've finished reviewing Aristotelian logic and am now going deep into modern logic. I don't know for sure, but I have a hunch that my paper will be of use to mathematicians.
Swift....it's the future.
I hear someone in the security line (which to me resembles a cattle chute) remarking that they're in fact glad for the inconvenience

They could be govt stooges (field agents) implanted to distort public opinion and create a false narrative that the general public is happy with these draconian procedures and that they're very popular (peer pressure) to advance their agenda and support the status-quo.
Haskell, and functional programming at the same time. In school I wasn't properly introduced to it (learned some Lisp on paper, during half a semester, and that's it). It's quite the steep road so far, especially since I can only work on it during spare bits of time.
If you get a US tradmark number Twitter should release it in short order.

Thanks!

The API will most likely become more and more advanced with time. I need to keep it slim for now and only develop features that people actually want and need.

I made the video with something called Snapz Pro on a mac. I'm a Linux person but this app was awesome.
It looks like he had a CPU monitor on his panel, which also looked pegged. Could just be he needs to spend sometime optimizing cause the Kinect can certainly record faster than that.
Yes - how about Tomboy/gnote integration?
Totally missed this. A couple things:

A) The name isn't as good.
B) You don't get a direct link to the image, just a link to the gallery.
C) It seems a little slow.

Otherwise, nice!
I feel this is different. patio11 is one of the most popular members of the community (probably the most popular, aside from pg himself) and to disagree with an estimation of his value is to violate the norms of the community. il is simply signaling that he recognizes the norms of the community and is voicing a dissenting opinion: in this case, perhaps the appropriate social maneuver.

I eagerly welcome discussion on this topic.

I'm guessing companies assume that whatever code gets written in-house will have more vulns that some widely used open source project... Not to mention the cost to re-implement the world (sans the OS and compiler) would be astronomical and put most projects into the "not worth it" category.

Yes, well I think get rid of all parking in major cities first in favour of park and rides at the edges

Lots of people drive for unessential journeys which kills people in collisions, by pollution and increases demand for roads, oil, car services etc which kills more

In a climate emergency driving a large Landrover or SUV around cities should be illegal
Now here's the thing. Anyone with a basic understanding of probabilities could understand how to fake a study by doing just that. If I measure enough potentially interesting points over a small group of individuals, I will quite likely get at least one interesting correlation (aka, "drinking one glass of vodka a day helps to lose weight!"). But did anyone of the critics of that study ever try to do a follow-up? Did a single science journalist call the group and ask them about that study? How many measurements did they make? How did they actually chose the patients? Did these patients actually recover?
> If I, as a working software developer, end up getting a check... the system is seriously unfair.

What if you end up losing your employment a month or so down the road? The 'everyone getting a stimulus check' isn't great, but the effort to means test and make those somewhat arbitrary decisions is non-trivial, and there will always be someone who really did need it, but didn't seem to need it based on some algorithm.
Isn't this code running in Windows Explorer? That sounds like it could potentially be pretty bad.
I don't really agree with the gist of this, but your response is reasoned and well articulated, and your analysis of our collectively poor decision making is spot on I think.

Trump did far worse than almost any other world leader. He didn't merely underperform. He spent nearly two precious months actively mocking and attacking efforts to try and inform and prepare us for the pandemic.

Only when Trump figured out he could try to spin himself as a "wartime president" did he start to put on an air of concern. Angela Merkel for example was obviously, clearly waiting to be convinced on a scientific basis -- weighing evidence, currying expert advice, waiting for more data until the last possible moment before putting a gun to the head of the economy and pulling the trigger.

To Trump, this is, as with everything single thing he does, primarily a sales and PR mission.
Wrong thread, friend. =P
Maybe that's because of the different kind of work I do with but I have wrestled, frustrated at some bugs hard to spot with gdb, but I never felt retrained by pudb despite it being, I guess, more limited.

All the bugs I had in python were easier to reproduce, probably because it provides less rope than C or C++ to hang yourself. Usually, stopping a bit before the exception, exploring the variable states was enough to spot the bug.

Isn't there something about garbage-collected, dynamic-types, GIL-constrained languages that makes their typical bug easier to spot with a more limited debugger?
Curious, would you care to elaborate about the prose-writing tools? I only ever see things relating to coding in emacs.
I think this is an important paper. Even or especially if it confirms other studies. When I was a teacher in inner city San Bernardino, we were held accountable for student achievement ignoring student ability, socioeconomic situation, home life, or their capacity to disrupt the class. In large part, this is because of studies that say a teacher has outsized effect on student test scores. Now, I think a special kind of person can connect better with some kids and help them achieve. I think that is not something you can mass produce. With more studies showing teachers are not as critical as schools want to believe, maybe we can start focusing on other metrics to gauge suçcess.
It’s the wrong place to put the trade off because I highly doubt I’m receiving more value from Dropbox using 500MB as compared to 100MB. Unlike what VCs are telling Dropbox, I only want something to sync files from one computer to another and it most certainly is not the center of my workflow.

In my opinion, it reeks of lazy engineering brought about my PMs who want to turn Dropbox into something it isn’t.

Every extra step in the process adds another potential failure point. But we're fast approaching a data and energy crunch that will push the industry towards binary formats once more. This is my attempt to keep that shift sane, and avoid the mess of the 80s and 90s.

The implementations are almost done now, and my first tool will be a command line utility that reads one format and spits out the other, so that you can take a binary dump from your production system using tcpdump or wireshark or whatever, and then convert it to a human readable format to see what's going on. I'll probably even put in a hex-reader so that you can log the raw message and then read it back:

I found it informative to research the author and his background: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Krein

For some reason my mental image of the messenger behind the article was that of a well studied and neutral academic throwing out firehouse citations.

his points are thought provoking, but it reduces everything to purely economic competition by a delusional population with only the author to cut through the illusions.
In the words of Steve Jobs: "That is really ugly, and you're fired". It has that failed Web 3.0 look. More rounded corners, excessive margin, but less content per page. One commenter pointed out its easier on mobile, but that can be resolved with the existing style.

It seems like you need 3 of the 8:

1,2, and 3 seem hard to do

4 might not be too hard

5 requires a letter from the company ceo/evidence that you are actually doing something exceptional/useful

6 would be hard

7 is a letter requirement saying that your position is critical, I assume if you are an exceptional programmer it should be easy to get that from your sponsoring company.

8 says you get paid a lot, shouldn't be a problem for any software engineer

So out of the list, 2 of them seem trivial and then you just need to check the box for one other, which if you are in the top programmers, shouldn't be too hard.
It's called distraction. You should look up the word sometime.
By what criteria do you distinguish wasteful environmental impact from justified environmental impact?
Yes but sometimes cheaper than cloud provider make you think.

IMHO, it' a bell curve. Before a certain point and past another threshold the "cloud" is more expansive than it's worth. Adapting your application/system to a IaaS or a PaaS model isn't free either.
every tech worker's salary will drop significantly if the United States allowed more open immigration laws. But think about this - what would have happened if elon musk, vinod khosla,Sundar Pichai

Why would you or I or anyone want to make ourselves materially worse off, so some guys we've never met, and who couldn't care less about us, can become richer than the dreams of avarice?

This trope is everywhere now. I see this so often now where high profile substack writers are constantly being smeared as transphobic. It's a tactic, and defense and offense strategy and I'm tired of it. Can't take anyone serious anymore how writes something like that.
Having been to japan many times and experienced the culture, its undeniable how low the glass ceiling is in japan. But Ive had a few very enlightening conversations with Japanese women who want more opportunities, but at the same time are not envious of Japanese men. Its interesting to note how ridiculously high expectations are on men. If you are a man, you are expected to work around the clock, and tow the company line, and have no other life. Women have leisure and social lives, and men don't. Its reflected in the consumer culture as so much advertising is geared towards women. In some areas, the street-life is dominated by women and youth, where as men are expected to work.

You get the feeling that, more then any other place I know, the gender disparity, really hurts everyone.

No; it was a targeted viewpoint against the contradictions in environmental leftism. It was only one word that drew the ire of those I was intending to challenge, and it would have been ignored otherwise, but that’s a sensitive touch point that gets to the heart of the contradiction.

There are some forms of public spending that are probably good for sustainability, and necessary to be undertaken by the public will. These should be carefully considered without moralizing the arguments for or against, or aligning the argument with political tribes.

I feel like there is a ton referenced concerns in that first page I read that isn't really explained, some seem kinda 'off', and just makes me hit the back button.

I'm not singing up for what seems like a mix of legit concerns and ... borderline conspiracy theory / ideas that maybe really don't help the cause.

I'm inclined to sympathize with a lot of this but I'm not getting on board an unknown / the whole crazy train.
