I'm sure I'm in the minority here (where the word "racist" is thrown around rather liberally and without any mind for "let him who is without sin...") In any case, I can understand the tension.

First and perhaps most common is just a fear of changing culture. It happens, and all is fluid, but it's not uncommon. Many people fear change, and I'm not saying it's good to restrict change because of that fear, but I understand the human nature behind it.

That said, I'd be upset if I had to hear a call to prayer 5 times a day. I am pretty anti-religion as it goes, which is my own personal bias, but I don't appreciate being forced to tolerate annoyance for someone else's religion. It's the same as people blasting music in the park 5x a day - the idea of noise pollution and disturbing the peace exists for this very reason. Allowing it to continue for what I assume are politically correct reasons is frustrating.

I also do not understand why I should be expected to tolerate Islam when it stands against many things I'm for - most egregiously is equal rights for women (not to mention other common religious touch-points like homosexuality, premarital sex, and huge swaths of science education). Islam is most oppressive to women. I hear the argument "Well what if a woman wants to be Muslim?" to which I answer that I'm sure there were conservative women against Suffrage or equal pay or any number of progressive issues for women.

Living in peace with our neighbors is fine and expected, and living in a major city as I do, there are people of all creeds and religions - but I'm still going to be annoyed when the National Guard take over the city and lock it down for the Pope (who, as progressive as he is, is still rather homophobic), or when the Nation of Islam is shouting through speakers on the streets, or when some born-again nut is shouting at me through a loud speaker/bull horn about how my whole family is going to burn in Hell.

Tolerance for Islam is the new politically correct darling. It's still oppressive to women, it's still an organized religion, and like absolutely everything and everybody in this world, it will take full advantage of the leeway given to it.

And so I understand the frustration with certain aspects of what this article touches on.
Have you got some kind of API? I'd be happy to look into connecting your map to the game. I think it would be nice to to need an app for this, but if this runs on a responsive website, that can connect to the game independently.
That's pretty neat. Any idea on how accurate it was? The real breakthrough in navigation imo is not so much the display of a map but rather the lack of display of more data than you actually need at the moment. Turn-by-turn navigation is what then really drove adoption. GPS may not have been necessary to achieve this and this article is a nice reminder that there are more ways than one to skin a cat.

Do any present day navigators use inertial guidance when they are out of reach of satellites? (I know mine doesn't when I enter a tunnel it seems to continue to coast based on the last known info when the signal was lost, after more than a few minutes, for instance a traffic jam it gets wildly erratic.)
How is it racist in any way? What race are you talking about? Islam is a religion, not a skin color.
Clinical psychologist here.

The doctors I work with prescribe cognitive behavioral therapy as the first hand treatment for depression and antidepressant when therapy is ineffective (which isn't all that common).

One of the reasons that antidepressant are so widespread is that doctors are usually in charge of treatment and seldom perform therapy but are very used to prescribing medication.

Also the fact that millions of people are depressed makes it hard to give everyone access to therapy.

In my opinion it is much harder to treat a patient on antidepressant since they respond worse to treatment then a depressed patient who is not on medication.

Depression is a devastating disease but it is astounding how effective therapy can be for a lot of patients.

I regularly meet patients who are very depressed when we first meet who manage to overcome their depression in a couple of weeks.

Physical activity is also very good at treating depression.

http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17437199.2015.102...

If everyone would exercise the demand for therapists would be much lower.

One mistake that many depressed patients make is holding a strong view that they are a person who suffers from depression.

This keeps the patient from realising that depression is a condition caused by their interaction with the environment and that it isn't personal.

I think one problem with the article is that it seems that the person still views herself in this way instead of fully realising whatever it is that is needed for keeping him/her from becoming depressed again.

FANTASTIC VIDEO: MUST SEE
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean that a mathematical constant has multiple different shortest programs?
On top of what have been said, there are two important advantages over young people that old devs should have. The first advantage is that compared to young people your advantage is your long experience in Computer Science. For instance: you should have a better understanding of your stack, you have mastered a lot of the basics of CS with several paradigms in different programming languages, databases SQL/NoSQL, etc... You may have a little bit of knowledge around the edge of your stack and outside...

For the second advantage it depends where you want to do. If you want to stay a dev and only code then the best thing to do is to master your stack and learn complex things. By doing that you differentiate yourself and increase the barrier of entry. So for instance to learn C++, AWS, Machine Learning, Hadoop ecosystem, webgl... Depending your field and what can be the next big hard thing with it.

Else, the other way is to go up in the hierarchy to be a team leader and maybe to go higher. At first you have been (or should) start to learn how to manage people. You should know how to lead your team when things are doing well but also when things are at the worst. Sometimes you have deadlines that are hard to meet. Sometimes the stress is at the maximum, financially the company is not doing well, or goals and ideas diverge... It's all the experience you need to get to be able to manage these situations and start to be a great leader.

Also you -may- start to learn to master git to be a team leader, to be able to fix the problems, and manage the repo for the code reviews. Another point should be to increase your communication skill, every day by talking with your team, by enjoying to write well written emails and speeches. These books [1] are a good start. And also a last point that I think is important is to start to get financial skills with things like financial management, accounting, and if possible to be able to do simple DCFs...

Not sure how the bells work in US churches, but here they actually serve a purpose, they ring the bells for each hour until 8PM. Around 12 (noon) they have this little jingle that tells you it's 12 in case you can't keep track of "rings".

That way you can either count the "rings" for every hour or just count how many it was since you heard the jingle.

I actually do the latter after 12 for "faux" Pomodoro.
I believe it's on a per-movie basis, but is exclusive for that distribution region (not necessarily one country).

Very very true! This comment sums up my fear exactly. I'll take it further, not only losing one's job -- but the fear of litigation is also a big deterrent. Now imagine in court you just say...Google Tensor Flow made me do it (or Theano or whatever...) I

You know I read that paragraph expect to cringe at any implied reasons, but there were none. In fact, if you read the previous paragraphs, the author states that the tech community is very inclusive of difference - it's really not an issue.

To me these paragraphs together indicate that it's not a tech problem that there are less women in the industry, but rather a wider societal issue. The tech community is welcoming and inclusive and tolerant of diversity. Any supposed lack in numbers of women in tech does not prove the opposite.

As you progress as a programmer you develop a keen sense on when to tune out things. For instance, using your list, knowing SQL thoroughly is far more valuable than whatever the "in thing" in NoSQL is these days. Furthermore, knowing a mature, well-supported framework like Spring, Django, etc is far more valuable than whatever the most fashionable, alpha-version framework is right now on HN. Sometimes it helps to put the HN glasses down, step back for a moment and take a breather.
I don't think it's fair to say that the article is fearmongering.
There are real concerns by the local residents, for example, about the noise from the call to prayer (it can be 5am in the morning). I, too, hate it, I can understand why other people hate it.
> As a citizen of a country with many such cities (India) (...) relax, nothing bad is going to happen

Probably not in the mostly Hindu areas (India is huge), but Pakistan was made in order to have Muslims rule over the part of the former India,

"About half a million Muslims and Hindus were killed in communal riots following the partition of British India. Millions of Muslims living in India and Hindus and Sikhs living in Pakistan emigrated in one of the most colossal transfers of population in the modern era"

and the violence didn't stop after Pakistan was formed:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India%E2%80%93Pakistan_relatio...

"violent partition (...) three major wars, one undeclared war and (...) numerous armed skirmishes and military standoffs"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971_Bangladesh_genocide

And the atom bombs prepared on both sides.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_we...

And you are absolutely right that "the only real issue most Muslims have with any non-Muslim country is that it is a general perception that they're Muslim first." Unfortunately, Islam has its political component still considered as the inseparable part of the religion.
I respect your concern (I'm trying to be non-specific in terms of pronouns here, but it's hard), but that's a fear we have to live with, no? The notion that someone else's argument might be more persuasive than our own, that someone else's message might be accepted instead. Surely, there's something perverse about it, underhanded, or perhaps I'm just not enlightened enough, otherwise I wouldn't accept such a false pretense. Surely, if I'd been shown the light, and not doused in such propaganda, I'd make a better choice!

The problem with that of course, is that a lot of people can make that argument. And regardless of who's making the argument, be they weak or strong, they all rely on the premise that the person needs convincing of something, because to imagine that they might come to a conclusion that's not your own /by themselves/ is a terrifying thought.

I'm sorry, but I really can't condone the notion that some messages should be feared in that way, and that someone else knows what's best because they presume I do not.
You're not a minority. And the irony is, many moderate muslims agree with you. Unfortunately they are usually called "native informants" by Glenn Greenwald and the loud far reaching islamic imperialist posse thus making you feel like a minority, but you're not.

> I read this article as quasi-racist fearmongering, jumping on the Trump bandwagon for circulation figures. Shameful yellow journalism, in other words.

The Washington Post is extremely left-leaning. In fact, they recently published an editorial all but equating the US with Nazi Germany should we refuse to admit Syrian refugees.

The article reads to me like a typical "changing neighborhood" piece, albeit one where the author perhaps failed to toe the party line sufficiently to your liking. If you really believe the Post is "jumping on the Trump bandwagon," you clearly haven't read them enough.

> It doesn't sell newspapers to point out that there are around 2 billion muslims world-wide, of whom maybe 20,000 are active jihadis in AQ and Da'esh; the rest are just ordinary folks who are happy to get along

Just ordinary folks who are happy to get along--and who broadly support the death penalty for apostasy, the stoning of adulterers, and making Sharia the binding law of the land:

Really? Expecting downvotes on HN for criticizing an article on Muslims that wasn't a complete whitewash? I'm quite confident my comments will end up subzero long before yours.

And by the way, don't you have some critical comments to moderate on your echo chamber of a blog? Must keep those "safe spaces" safe, after all.

> Even the protein content: muscle fiber forms protein through exercise, but this slab of cells in a dish has never walked to a trough.

Protein, in the form of muscle fibre is formed following exercise as a result of signalling triggered by the breakdown of muscle fibre. Exercise is only responsible as the trigger. There's no conceptual reason why we can't emulate that part of the process too.

The question is if we need it - our body needs to amino acids, and they at least have been shown to be present in similar quantities in in vitro grown muscle cells. So if this "meat" can be made to taste and feel sufficiently like "natural" meat, then there may be no point to simulating the growth of "real" meat (which would also e.g. require a simulated circulatory system).

> Either you're dishonest with "maybe 20 000 active jihadists" or just unaware.

> Except they are what, odd 20 people?

If you're off by a factor of 2 on the Westboro Baptist Church, which you can verify in just about 2 seconds it's kind of weird to see you complain about how many active jihadists there are, it's not like they have a registry.

Does that make you dishonest, or just unaware?

There must be a better way to make your argument.

He sounds like a conquer gloating over the corpses of the vanquished.

Typical changing neighborhood piece?

"In many ways, Hamtramck is a microcosm of the fears gripping parts of the country since the Islamic State’s attacks on Paris: The influx of Muslims here has profoundly unsettled some residents of the town long known for its love of dancing, beer, paczki pastries and the pope."

Fearmongering, pure and simple. Won't somebody think of the dancing, the beer, the pastries and the pope.

How about waiting to see what that majority Muslim council gets up to before condemning them? If they do something about the kielbasa then maybe it's time to start articles like these.

This is an insult to horseshit which is actually useful.
Because to me it is exactly as irritating as the 'calls to prayer' but since we seem to accept the one I guess we have no option but to accept the other as well.

There's plenty of people out there who have problems they care about independently of anyone telling them to, and have to just work on these in the time left in the day that isn't taken up by their job and chores. If I got one of these do-nothing jobs I could get plenty of math done with that!

You have to give props for Asrock as they are frequently offering unique motherboard features (like that mini-ITX X99 etc).

However, it still does not change the fact that Xeon v3 models are slower(tops at 3.9Ghz Turbo) single threaded than Haswell-E, so it is the same story just a different chipset, either you get fast single threaded performance with Haswell-E or you get Xeon with ECC.

This article is a provides a summary of the events in and since the Arab Spring at a reasonable length. There were requests for more information from some HNers about the issues after the Paris attacks, so I am posting this again.
Bringing up Majewski's perspectives without considering where they are relative to others is problematic. People are tense? The group of people to which Majewski is referring are vocal and don't represent Hamtramck as a whole (nor any other cities in SE Michigan with large Arab and Muslim populations).

For many (myself not included, thanks), there is a tremendous conflation of Islam and Arab. Simply look at the comments in the OP. (edit: But, you are right, bigoted would be a more accurate choice of wording.)

This article will certainly serve as reinforcement for people who are already afraid of Islam and WaPo knows this (which is, for me, ultimately why I find this article bigoted). This is extrapolated journalism drawn from a tiny modicum of truth, which I find irresponsible. Unfortunately, this is the status quo in American media.
