6islands accepting applications for world's first tribe of digital islanders
What would you say to living by the beach, on an island, alongside 100 other world-class entrepreneurs? The team from 6islands.com are planning just that for 2016.

They're looking to solve the pain digital nomads face in traveling alone constantly searching for their next internet fix.

"No more hotel room coding sessions, internet cafe squatting or WIFI hunting," they say.

The around the world trip stops on 6 islands, you can join in at any point and you probably won't get voted off the island.

OOP, as defined as a set of principles, is a complete load of horse shit. There are many more reasons other than what the article states as to why it doesn't deal with realities of software (e.g. data oriented programming solves some of them). OOP principles are likely one of the reasons it takes so long to train fresh-out-of-college employees, as they first need to learn how to forget that utter bullshit.

However, that does not mean that OOP languages are a bust. It is only the OOP principles that are a problem.

So far my experience goes, I've learned to mostly stop creating analogues of real-world things (as OOP principles would have it), except where it makes sense to, and instead use OOP features to create distinct responsibilities. Turns out OOP languages are identical to, let's say, "responsibility oriented programming" languages.

OOP languages can also be used for other things, as previously mentioned: data oriented programming. DOP is used widely in gamedev. Gamedev also happens to be an industry that heavily uses an OOP language: C++.

Hate the principles, not the languages. There's a big difference.

It's irrelevant to the discussion, so: no. Both add nothing to the topic of the discussion and are thus completely worthless opinions within this context. You can be whatever you like, but your prejudices have nothing to do with OOP - leave them out of this discussion please.
It's kind handy for using other peoples code. Like if you want a couple of Google maps on your page you can create a couple of map objects and set their location, colouring, add and remove markers etc. I'm not sure how you'd do that neatly without objects. Beyond that I'm happy without it.

No, they have not. Climate models have been consistent in their predictions. What's your source that catastrophic AGW is not there? We currently have temperature models from RCP2.6 to 8.5, all of which point to positively, extinction-inducing situations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_Concentration_P...

We know that the amount of emissions being made will alter the ocean Ph to the point where a significan amount of phitoplankton will not be able to adapt. We know the effects that projected climate change scenarios will have on plants because we understand their growth patterns extremely well under different presence of atmospheric CO2.

We are currently observing an exponential increase in glacial melt throughout the world in which sea level rise will have significant effects in all coastal cities of the world.

We are seeing already the absolutely catastrophic effects of this year's El Niño on Boreal forests. Ask anyone in the Pacific Northwest in the US and Canada how the fire season is going.

The amount of empirical evidence, even without models, is so overwhelmingly terrifying that there is no reason why this shouldn't be the primary concern of all governments with an interest on their population's welfare beyond the next 20 years.

Any non-expert has a very limited capability of reviewing any significant fraction of published literature on such a vast field in detail, yet alone understand it or put it into proper perspective.

Therefore, we (me, you and the parent poster included) do need to rely on experts to get an impression of what is most likely to be true. If you imagine you can do this yourself to any significant degree, you are almost certainly deluding yourself.

That's why a figure such as 97% is so convincing, the remaining 3% (including Dr. Lindzen) nonwithstanding.

https://ghost.baremetrics.com/

I noticed they had 654 failed charges, and over 4,133 customers, that's 15.8%. That's around $6,200 of revenue they failed to collect first time each month - basically, a whole person's salary.
every article that compares people who hold job 'x' with the percentage of the population with trait 'z' makes the very assumption you are blind too. the issue is like wondering why sprinters and endurance athletes are no evenly distributed at the olympics in the various events. (eg, a marathoner is not a crap athlete because they cannot sprint).

xx and xy simply puts different brain chemistry at work. it doesn't mean that the variation disqualifies anyone from anything. the issue is much, much more subtle (like fast twitch vs slow twich muscles in athletes).

oversimplyin it simply makes a mockery of understanding & analysis.

the fact that you use 'brute strength' as an obvious irrelevant characteristic seems to play into this ignorance. ('brute strentgh' doesn't even matter amongst most athletes in most endeavors, at best its a gating criteria, but again what about endurance vs speed vs hand-eye co-ordination vs tactial application of effort?).

...and there's loads of science if you are bored
That approach does not meet the norms of the HN community because it doesn't make anyone smarter or better informed and it devolves the discussion...notice now we are not talking about OOP here.

In the US, something made by an employee within the scope of his or her employment is a work made for hire and the employer owns the copyright.

Non-employees could also agree to a contract transferring copyright or, in some limited circumstances, agreeing the work is a work made for hire.

But I'm fairly sure that you're wrong about things you write for school, unless you're an employee of the school or you signed something transferring copyright.

> At the end of the day, for general programming, any paradigm is going to end up producing similar quality of code. Developer competence

I'd say that "pure" paradigms tend to be almost equally bad (tried functional programming in production code, wasn't all it's advertised to be). But this actually leaves you with more freedom, because you have to pick pieces and create your own style. So it turns out to be more important, not less, that you understand the how and why of each paradigm.

As for how good this particular article was - well, I agree with the premise and it gives links to sources. May not be the Mona Lisa of articles, but it got my upvote. I'm not a regular HN reader so it's the first article on this topic I've seen in a while.
There was, and as a result a lot of people shitcanned that distro, and said incident left an indelible black mark on the vendor's reputation.
It's quite simple:

1. We don't wish to eliminate personal biases (like your preference for blue over green), but social biases (like that Africans are sub-human)

2. We don't wish to eliminate all social biases (like murder is bad and fairness is good), but only those that increase power inequality (like that Africans are sub-human or that women belong in the home)

So there is a subjective ideology here (preference for fairness), but it makes recognizing incompatible biases rather objective and very much based on a set of external facts.

> The burden of proof for 'hidden bias' is simply not attainable by any standard of law.

No one has said that this change is to be done by changing the law alone. It is mostly educational.

You have no understanding of postmodernity. It basically shows that the way you think is to project reality with all its degrees of freedom onto an axis that you arbitrarily decided and that allows you to give an order to the world and to classify things as being better than others. For instance, you seem to think that striving for getting better grades is "good", but this is not granted, who said so? God? Science? This is indeed a very modernist thinking.

The problem with it is basically that you posit your view as being right before reasoning. The arguments you may have on any subject will be subjected to how you see the world in the first place. Your arguments for being misogynist probably hold perfectly together - in the value system that you constructed for yourself. They will certainly not hold in mine. Postmodernism asks "what if there was not one unique value system?" The fact that you don't understand that means that you can't be part of a productive discussion, because you will always think you're right.

That's all good. In the case you described, in a perfect egalitarian, meritocratic society you would expect to find more men than women in the army in general, but maybe more women than men doing sniper duty. That's how averages will play out with zero gender discrimination.

In other words - just because an industry is not 50/50 men/women, doesn't mean there's sexual discrimination going on.

Even if the differences themselves are small, the very fact that they're there mean that women have comparative advantage over men in some areas, while men have that advantage over women in other. We exploit that concept in international trade, and yet many find it wrong to exploit it at the society level.

The question we should be asking is: which "social biases" arise from comparative advantage of sexes? Maybe they're ok and we should leave those biases be, while removing those that don't give any utility? Hard-equalizing everything (by e.g. pushing for 50/50 ration of genders in every industry) seems to be an outcome worse for everybody.
A very smart heuristic for getting an answer is to ask a question first, and upon receipt of a shoddy answer, only then I proceed to answer it myself, and go out on a limb. I half agree with the point Matt makes, but the argument falls apart when it is presumed that all forms of enquiry are lazy and unwarranted.

OK, since everyone's saying "now's the time to switch to Linux" - would I be able to switch yet?

Requisites:

1) Adobe Creative Cloud working with no performance loss. Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere are probably the most key elements.
2) 3DSMax and Motionbuilder usable under Linux. I could switch to Maya from Max if absolutely necessary.
3) 99.5% of games playable on Linux, including Blizzard stuff, FFXIV.
4) Unreal Engine 4 and Unity development possible without productivity loss compared to Windows.
5) Evernote and Skype working.

Thinking about it, that's pretty much it.

Would that be doable?

That's meant to be the main purpose for the ETFs. As an easy way for retail investors to buy into the market with regular purchases to take advantage of cost averaging.

Not for frequent trading as a mechanism to proxy the market.

How non-technical teams work together
I'm going out on a limb here, but did anyone consider that some of those "social biases" you want to eliminate arise naturally from society exploiting comparative advantage of sexes?

When women are on average better at doing X and men are on average better at doing Y, even if the advantage is very slight, it's beneficial to let women focus on X and men on Y. I think some of the customs may have arisen there. I'm not saying that they haven't become twisted or outdated and shouldn't be pruned - just that we should take a closer look before deciding to get rid of them.
As one of those people who have used pseudocode in papers, I have to disagree. In a scientific paper, you describe what you have in mind using mathematical definitions. This makes it easier to reason about (proofs) and to describe it in an unambiguous way to other people (papers). Pseudocode is used to describe an algorithm following those mathematical definitions. In your paper, you might use sets. A set is defined by what it contains or does not contain. Never by how the elements found their way into the set. Including that kind of implementation detail is considered bad form (cf. forest and trees). If you wish to implement it using purely procedural code, FP, or OOP is up to you. Don't think scientists shun any kind of method just because they rarely talk about it. And for the record, I remember a number of papers that used pseudocode that could have been directly translated to working code using an OOP paradigm.

You have named a lot of applications that are native to Windows only. You might be able to get them working on Linux using WINE, but I can tell you from my experience that on Fedora 21 Blizzard games are difficult if not impossible to get working.

Why, that many of those biases disappeared completely after a social struggle. And I don't mean disappeared from the lawbooks, but from the minds of most individuals.

One notable example is the struggle for women's suffrage. For a long time it was a wide-held belief that women shouldn't vote because they lacked the mental state of mind for making decisions in matters of state. Then, after that idea slowly faded, other excuses were given from preserving tradition to encouraging women to stay at home because that's what's best for the children.

Other notable examples are women education, and especially allowing women to become doctors and lawyers (both medieval professions or earlier) only in the late 19th or early 20th century. It was obvious to everyone that women simply did not have the mental faculties required.

Yet, all of that has thankfully changed, society is better for it, and very few people still believe that women are unfit to vote or to be lawyers or physicians.

How much money they are making is a pretty minor aspect of transparency which doesn't seem to serve much purpose except to satisfy peoples curiosity (and possibly act as a vanity metric which I feel Ghost's example reads a bit like).

Here in the UK all Ltd companies (and most startups are Ltd) have public accounts, customers in B2C businesses in my experience tend to not look up and read them because at the end of the day it's not important for them.

Publicising them so openly seems like it could backfire and create problems. Customers demanding more, putting a target on yourself for patent trolls, another thing to maintain which could go wrong/mislead etc etc.

Cynics might argue they are not doing this for customer transparency, but as an attempt to put themselves on the radar for potential investors/acquirers.
If they promised magical unicorns, then yes, shame on them.

Lecture from the Man Who Dropped Both Atomic Bombs

Where does that definition of personal bias come from?

It seems to me that the dictionary definition and common understanding of personal bias is "a bias held by a particular person".

I've often seen social engineering redefine terms to redirect or derail discussions and find that very Orwellian.
A more appropriate answer is "switch to *nix". I'm in the same case as you, I do engineering and design equally and I also need CC and 3D soft (I switched 3DS for Cinema4D), etc. I use OSX for the design stuff and I have an ubuntu partition via bootcamp. I also have many others Linux and Android machines via virtualbox/vagrant (but those are mainly for dev + UI design).

So, if you're on win, sincerely I'd buy a mac, but I'd also start playing with Linux in another partition. It's been 10+ years since I completely abandoned win. Never looked back.
