> You get one thing – [release day availability]

I'd bet it's not zero days, but one stop shopping. So the consumer saves the overhead of wondering, "wait, is this on Hulu? Netflix? Amazon? iPlayer?" The entire catalog is in one place.

I think Netflix and Amazon are getting to the point where their catalogs are deeper than usenet.

Of course, most film junkie's "essential 100" lists will still probably hit somewhere less than 10% representation on Netflix:

Still an availability problem though.

No offense, but you seem to be fishing for a genetic justification for sexism in the workplace, and I don't think you're going to find it. The only thing genetics will tell you is if people have physical aptitude for one type of work/activity, which may or may not make them more interested in a certain vocation.

The scientific findings are muddy at best, with some studies [1] showing that development factors are the leading cause of interest, and others [2] showing some correlation for twins raised apart. And while yes, there are some small differences in things like spatial reasoning between genders [3], you would be hard pressed to show how this translates into some legitimate reason for women not wanting to write code. It's far, far more likely that social pressures account for most of the disparity in STEM careers. You don't even have to look farther than the kids toys aisle at Walmart - girls are marketed barbies, while boys are marketed RC cars.

The article uses the Anita Borg Institute’s "Grace Hopper Celebration of Women In Computing" as a window, to assess industry challenges: gender numbers not moving, transparency, awareness, hiring practices, leaky pipelines, perceptions, and bias.

The biggest problem I have programming Perl 5 is discovery of what the best current module is to get past the pain points of the past, and the best way I know of that is to keep current with community discussions. E.g. Path::Tiny is awesome for automating a lot of the file ops you could want to do into one simple, useful, well structured place. As soon as you're exposed to it, you'll immediately want to scrap the use of 3-4 other modules you might have been using in lieu of it. What's the best way to learn about it? Possibly reading Perl community blog posts. It's unfortunate, but with a couple decades worth of modules on CPAN, it can be hard to find the gems of the bunch without some help.

It's a little funny to think about equality, or really justice, in the context of war. Among other things, at least in the modern US, quite a number of US soldiers are men of lower classes and limited options who are looking at the armed forces as a job with good pay and a good basis for a future career, and the armed forces know that and advertise on that basis. If a draft starts, college students and certain professionals can get deferred; working men age 18-25 get drafted. It is the very nature of income and earning-power inequality in the US that is powering our current enlistment and would be powering any draft. It's not really sensible, I think, to argue about whether this equality is needed when the very reason the situation exists is itself a fairly major inequality.

That said, women's groups have historically supported extending the draft to women. In the 1981 Supreme Court case Rostker v. Goldberg, which was filed by a group of men who opposed the gender discrimination in the draft, both the National Organization for Women and the ACLU's Women's Rights Project filed amici supporting them:

Yes and no.

Definitely there have been places and times where people opposed to nuclear energy have filed lawsuits against nuclear power plant construction.

On the other hand many times the trouble is between the constructing company, the electric company and maybe regulators and it usually is in the form of a lawsuit because this is how you decide who owes who money in the end.
There are almost certainly at least two aerials at least for the nav systems because almost every important system on an aircraft is redundant in the event one of them fails.

Nice to see an in-depth article on a topic working it's way up Hacker News. There's no hyperbole, just solid recommendations based on facts.
While that's the Supreme Court's post hoc interpretation, you have to admit it finds little support in either the text or history of those amendments. It's unlikely the states that ratified those amendments realized they were giving up the right to set local standards of how to treat the accused, etc.
A lot of the advanced stuff is internal work leading to a simple exterior (at least in principle, modulo bugs and optimization work). Think "tormenting implementors on behalf of users".

For example, in Perl 6 a character at the language level is a grapheme. This is per a proper understanding of the Unicode standard. It seems that most folk (and language designers/designs, including eg gvr/py3) don't/didn't realize that Unicode always intended graphemes as the obligatory ultimate destination for modelling "characters" and providing truly clean Unicode text handling. (Swift has attempted the same thing but their current character iterating implementation and API are clearly inappropriate long term for a performant text manipulation focused language so they'll surely have to redo that part of Swift over the coming years.)

Another example is the parallelizing, async, and concurrency features in Perl 6. These are all surprisingly simple to use and performant but took a lot of design talent, and engineering talent under the hood, to get right internally and simple externally.

Sticking to positive stuff for a moment longer, some features bring important concepts from decades past in to this century. Most notably, afaict, Perl 6 provides a universal unrestricted grammar[1]. Aiui this could put help put "string rewriting", a relatively neglected mathematically proven isomorphism to the lambda calculus and turing machine models of computation, back on the map. It will be interesting to see what happens as Perl 6 matures.

The biggest downside I see, beyond widespread negative associations with the name 'Perl', is immaturity. Perl 6 has lots of bugs, poor doc, is currently slow as molasses for a lot of stuff, and so on.

Rakudo is an implementation of Perl 6 built on top of NQP (Not-Quite-Perl. a pseudo lang that implements the easier parts of Perl 6 that can be targeted and optimized by VMs), and MoarVM is a C-based NQP interpreter. There is also an NQP back-end for the JVM, which is now Rakudo runs on the JVM. Think of NQP as an intermediate language (kind of like java bytecode but much higher level).

It's like this: Rakudo -> NQP -> MoarVM

or like this: Rakudo -> NQP -> NQP-JVM implementation -> JVM

Want to get Perl 6 running on the .Net CLR? Implement an NQP interpreter (which is supposed to be fairly easy) and you're 99% done (at least that's my understanding).

There are probably too many variables in Starcraft for this to be practical. With a game like chess there's a fairly obvious set of state variables to keep track of (max of 32 pieces that each have a position in essentially an 8x8 2D array), with Starcraft it's pretty nuts though, each side can have dozens of buildings, dozens of units of ~15 types, each of which has a position on a much larger grid, health, sometimes energy, status effects, etc. Obviously there are RTS games that are more complicated yet, but the jump from a turn-based board game to an RTS is just huge.

I haven't used Photoshop in quite a few years, but I'm pretty sure it works (or worked) the same way as Gimp. Maybe people who do a lot of work in image editing software are accustomed to this workflow? It seems reasonable, since exporting flattens layers and such, which a professional would probably want to preserve (and may not want to risk accidentally losing).
Founder here.

Yes, every utility has this problem.

"I don't think this is a good solution to this problem."

Why? Why isn't giving people money (direct to the utility, as we never hand people we help the funds) to get their water turned back on when they've gone for weeks without running water not a good solution? When you encounter someone in that situation, what would you suggest?

"Many of the customers get shut off and then immediately pay their bill along with the penalties."

That's often true, but what many people (including yourself and, oddly, staff at utilities) don't consider is that these people are often robbing Peter to pay Paul. We've got people skimping on medication and food they need in order to keep their utilities on. So, yes, they may pay as soon as the water is shut off, but there's often a trade-off.

"This is often cyclical with the same people getting shutoff every couple months. Appears to me to be administrative."

This also does happen, but talking to hundreds of families with difficulties paying their water bills, you start seeing patterns. A pattern of multiple shut-offs is usually indicative of some other deeper problem(s). There are people who are between jobs. There are people who've had their hours at work cut. There are people on fixed incomes where even the smallest fluctuation in the water bill (or another bill) can prevent them from paying in full. They pay what they can, but arrearages build up, and next thing you know, service is disconnected.

One of the things we're going to begin working with Detroit and Baltimore to do better is pick up on these signals and act. Prevention is always better than treatment.

Also, if you consider where we work (Detroit and Baltimore), these aren't exactly places teeming with amazing employment opportunities for many of the people we serve (the elderly, single parents already juggling multiple jobs, people with minimal education, etc.). Obviously, a stable job is a big part of consistently paying your bills. You can hold all the budgeting classes you want, but good luck getting people there who barely have the funds to keep their families afloat to sign up. Not having enough to make ends meet is not always the result of poor budgeting.

And yes, illegal service restoration does have the potential to damage equipment, but when your customers have to resort to that, it's indicative that your utility has failed to look after especially vulnerable customers. Detroit is especially odd with respect to indigent customers as they don't have a program to assist low-income customers with a discount or the like. Same goes for the elderly. Baltimore has a discount for the elderly, at least.
Uranium is fairly abundant AFAIK. Sourcing it is less of a problem than overcoming NIMBY.

Definitely agree that the other services are marked-up too! The issue is one of leveraging developer time at a dynamic startup. At some scale, it becomes cost-effective to manage your own application cluster. At some (usually larger?) scale, it becomes a good idea to administrate your own database cluster. We're definitely not big enough to consider managing our own RabbitMQ or log aggregator or other ancillary services from a developer-time opportunity cost/benefit perspective, though!

Changing culture
Hey Guys!
I'm very excited to announce that I've just launched a millionaire book club called Hustle Crate (www.hustlecrate.com)
Even though we just launched our pre-sale we have already a ton of interest from successful entrepreneurs willing to offer knowledge and their experience for the cause!
What's in the Hustle Crate box? Every month you will receive and actionable book that you can apply to your own Hustle, tools to go along with it such as case-studies, how-to's, life-style items etc.
We realized that a lot of entrepreneurs and business people have this old-school mindset of keeping information to themselves and holding on to secrets of the trade. We want to break this outdated culture of business by creating a platform where anyone and everyone can learn from successful entrepreneurs willing to share their knowledge and know-how. You can check us out at www.hustlecrate.com

I think you're describing methane, the primary component of natural gas. Methane production from electricity is ~60% efficient, according to a 6.3MW plant that Audi and SolarFuel cobuilt in Germany. And then converting methane into electricity or movement will only be ~50% efficient, for total roundtrip efficiency of 30%. That may make sense for electrical storage if the price swings from low to high are 3x or more.

I wasn't arguing for all his calculations, it's just that his evaluation of the theoretical limit of crystalline silicon cells is accurate. He is correct that it is unlikely that they will get much closer to the theoretical limit than 20% in real life situations.

Some GenIV nuclear reactor technologies have a somewhat clearer path to viability than multi-junction solar cells, which have not been able to beat traditional cells in a price-to-performance ratio. We don't even know if there exist materials and processes that can replicate the performance without the costs; see high temperature superconductivity for a technology that's been stuck at that stage for a while, even in the face of the helium shortage.

You get to know another paradigm which is very important. Object orientation already evolved into an ideology. So it's very good to get to know something so totally different.
I have Sketch and Affinity designer, and both are very good programs, but for raw SVG-ing (where I want full compatibility or anything similar) I still use Inkscape. It works, and works well, I'm not sure what your issues may be but I've been using it for, like, 8 years already (on Mac, I mean) and the latest versions are the best so far. Same for Gimp. I usually use Pixelmator, but Gimp is my second option (and depending on what I want to do, first option.)

Keep in mind there are "native" apps now for both Gimp and Inkscape (i.e. no longer requiring X11 open and using C- bindings, I'm not sure if for Inkscape it's a fork or what, though, been a long time since I installed it). This has made working with them much better for me.
$20-35 US Dollars a month for Giganews usenet

It's not about the software, but the entire package. The soft/firmware can be total junk, but if it isn't networked to other systems then it isn't going to be hacked.

Take the mood lighting. Once upon a time such LEDs would be tied to a controller with three knobs, three rehostats, to set the RGB values. Done. No networking, just knobs. Hacking would require digging holes into the wall. Anyone willing to do that would just turn the knobs. But now it's connected to a tablet app. The software on that networked tablet is always, always, going to be more of a risk than the software behind those not-networked RGB knobs. It's a physicality problem.
Sounds like you prefer more equality and meritocracy, in hiring--is that right? I'm glad to see we are in agreement about the existence and significance of the problem.

More resources, more strategies, including early life and others?
I haven't been using Perl 6 lately, but, as of a few years ago when I did, some of the more notably unusual features or planned features were:

* Grapheme-level string processing, even when there's no pre-composed Unicode codepoint for the grapheme. I think Swift is now doing this, too, but I'm not sure if anyone else is.

* Perl 6's grammars are to an extension of parsing expression grammars what the regular expressions in Perl 5/Ruby/JavaScript/etc. are to an extension of regular expressions. One can use PEGs (or other grammar formalisms) in any language with a library or code generator, but, with a few exceptions like Parsec, it's usually not nearly as convenient.

* Roles, similar to the traits concept developed by Nathanael Schärli, Stéphane Ducasse, Oscar Nierstrasz, and Andrew P. Black (and present under that name in e.g. Squeak Smalltalk and PHP since 5.4). Roles/traits are similar to mixin-style multiple inheritance, except that, when including multiple traits with conflicting methods, the including class must explicitly resolve the conflict. Mixin-style systems use an implicit linearized method-resolution order, which is more fragile because newly added methods in earlier mixins can silently override methods of the same name from another mixin that the caller was actually intending to call.

* Multiple dispatch is not unique to Perl 6, but it's not especially common, and it's very convenient.

* Configurable object representations. For example, a class can be defined to use the default P6opaque representation, which is I think usually implemented as a pretty standard struct-like representation with properties at fixed offsets. Other possibilities might be a hash table representation, where an object is represented by a hash table and attribute access is done by accessing the values of appropriate keys in the hash table. If one wants to forgo the optimizations allowed by fixed representations, one can even define a class with `is repr(*)` to allow individual objects of the class to be created with different representations.
