I am a woman. I married "down". I also married a man shorter than me, something I don't advertise much because men who are shorter than average tend to have enormous amounts of baggage and I don't want every short man on the planet thinking I am the solution to their problem. In many cases, I do not want to get involved with them because they are assholes, not because of their height.

As a woman who defies two really common stereotypes here, I will suggest that most women are as bad about wanting men who are tall and moneyed as men are typically bad about wanting someone younger and hot looking. And, hey, those two types go well together. They don't make for the kind of relationship I want, but women aren't all saints who marry for "love" with zero conditions or whatever the hell. Most women are just as biased about who they date as men are, they just have different biases than men have.
It's similar to githubs, but it also includes custom weighting on issues. A much better filtering UI. Ways to mass assign/change issues in one go. You can view issues for a full group of projects, not just a single repository, along with being able to have shared milestones across a groups projects. Someone else also mentioned some of the new features such as Issue templating. Right now it's just a single but there are plans for having multiple templates.

Ran out of RAM or address space? I've run out of RAM trying to ridiculous stuff like native builds on tiny embedded systems (due to whack code bases that wouldn't cross compile). Though, in the end I overcame this with even more perverse solutions like adding swap space via USB1 flash.

That aside, that is the third time in a couple of months that I have heard people mention situations where they ran out of RAM without explaining why swap could not at least work as a stop gap measure.

Tesla showrooms are just smaller, less-equipped dealerships. I want the car and hopefully shall not be setting foot again in the showroom for many years. I couldn't care less about the business relationships of the person selling it. If buying more directly from Tesla means lower prices, then more power to Tesla. But as their product is rather unique in the market, and not cheap, that aspect of the business is totally irrelevant to the consumer.

Another source[1] had more info about "The Macro":

Many of our California sales representatives received access to a software tool called a “Macro” that may have allowed them to complete mandatory online pre-licensing education courses offered by a third-party test preparation provider in less than the legally required 52 total hours. The Macro functioned to keep a person logged into the course and prevented the person from being logged out for inactivity. The Macro did not advance through the required material or quizzes in the education course -- the Macro only kept the person logged in. The Macro only pertained to the prelicensing education course and did not affect the broker exam taken later. Use of the Macro enabled -- but did not cause -- a person to spend less than the 52 hours of required time in the prelicensing course.

Ok, I have no judgement about the morals of this but I think the "hacker" mentality is hilarious.

I was at a Fortune 100 company that had an obligatory "security training" webcast that you had to watch and then at the end, answer some test questions. This was required to get a door badge and network id. Well, one programmer simply wrote a script to "watch" the video and automatically answer the questions. The manager knew we all used it and condoned it because the security video was out-of-date and irrelevant.

I can see someone at Zenefits using that mentality and justifying it because skipping the training material gave them no benefit to passing the actual exam.

> Hey all, management's been asking us for too much unpaid overtime. Strike?
> If we turn our attention to point 3 [What is going to prevent the RN from interfering?] for a while, the standard response is to say that the Luftwaffe could sink the RN ships. However, the Luftwaffe of the period had a pathetic record against warships. 39 RN destroyers took part in the Dunkirk evacuation. This operation required manoeuvring in a small harbour, with periods stationary while embarking troops. The Luftwaffe had command of the air for long periods. In these ideal conditions, the Luftwaffe managed to put out of commission a grand total of 4 destroyers. 4 out of 39 does not bode well for the Luftwaffe's chances.

Addressed pretty solidly I think, everyone except the German air force did well against navies. Air superiority doesn't matter if they can't destroy the targets on the ground/sea.
If you're not that familiar with D-day, you may not realize how extensive the logistic preparations were. This was Eisenhower's achievement - his background was in logistics. Moving an army across the English Channel was hard enough. Forcing an opposed landing was hard. But once landed, supplying a huge mechanized army for an attack across France presented problems never before solved.

Preparations for the landing involved the development of landing craft of various sizes, amphibious vehicles, (including the DD Sherman, which floated, sort of, using canvas screens), and specialized vehicles such as flail tanks, for beating a path through minefields. That's all well known.

Less well known are the second phase logistic innovations. There were the Mulberry portable harbors, barges which were towed across the Channel and sunk to provide breakwaters, along with jack-up rigs for wharfs and pontoon bridges for access. These provided the first way to get trucks and tanks across in quantity. The temporary harbors were destroyed in a storm, but by then enough soldiers and gear were in France to capture a real harbor at Cherbourg.

Fuel was in drums in the early phases. But 17 fuel pipelines were unwound from huge spools ("Conundrums") across the channel. That took care of fuel supply. Mostly; there were still
shortages in-theater.

There were lots of other new logistic systems, including, in the later stages of the invasion, prepackaged Coca-Cola bottling plants. (64 transportable bottling plants were eventually deployed.) The British fabricated low-cost railroad locomotives to be transported to Europe for the invasion. The US Army had railroad units which could quickly repair track and bridges. The famous Red Ball Express, an endless chain of trucks traveling at 25MPH, did much inland supply. The Allies had plenty of trucks. The Germans were still using horses for road transport in WWII. They planned to ship 4000 horses across the channel for the invasion.

This may seem like overkill, but the Dieppe raid disaster convinced the Allies that invasion without heavy logistics backup would be very risky and could lead to huge armies being stranded and lost.

Sealion doesn't seem to have included comparable plans for supplying German troops in Britain. Nor was the German invasion of Russia supplied adequately. (German plans did not include supplying the troops with winter gear. It was supposed to be a blitzkreig. Didn't work out that way.)

The WWII experience led to one of the great strengths of the American military - the ability to supply a sizable army almost anywhere. Few armies worldwide can do that at all. It's insanely expensive to do this, but it's a lot better than losing.

For a modern view of military logistics, see "Moving Mountains", by Gen. Patronis, who managed logistics for the Gulf War in the 1990s. Even though the combat part of the war lasted only 4 days, they were prepared and supplied for a long, hard war. Lots of supplies were unused and were shipped back to storage. This is a lot better than underestimating the enemy.

Now you're just kind of reaching.

Tesla business is exceedingly popular and so unique that comparisons to other situations are easily avoided (ie, don't have to worry about other businesses clamoring for same deal).
Because everyone is different. Some people prefer to meet right away. They're usually upfront about that. Some people are more hesitant (or even afraid!), and need time to make sure the other person isn't "crazy." I've experienced both, and both are generally normal people that approach things differently. But this is also contingent on the people being honest. There are many people that are simply looking for the gratification of interest. Unfortunately those people are very common. But you can weed through them pretty quickly. It all comes down to a somewhat delicate balance of social give-and-take. If that isn't there, then you know to move on. But if you're looking for instant gratification with people, you'll certainly find that with some. But you'll also certainly be missing out on others.
The mobile environment really benefits AoT though; you care about CPU usage more due to battery life and you really care about startup performance because slow starts make your platform seem sluggish.

Java's main usage (outside of Android) atm is on the server-side, and startup time isn't a huge deal there and you care about cost more than actual perf.
I agree that NNTP was a nicely federated system, and just a couple of days ago I was pondering the use of NNTP to publish Git pushes. Git's support for signed commits and content addressed objects is a great start for distributed, trustworthy collaboration. I still can't envision exactly how it would all function. There are lots of benefits to the GitHub model. They're a semi-trusted and well-funded entity who guarantee a highly available and fast synchronization. Sure, when it goes down everybody has a problem for a while... but with more distributed models you can get way more complicated failures, like "this object isn't seeded by a connected peer right now" or "this federated shard doesn't carry this repository" or whatever it may be.

I'm really interested in the future of distributed code collaboration. I just think it's not so trivial, and so it's very understandable that people have gravitated towards a semi-centralized model that already works.
Interference patterns from two lasers do not make any sound. You can take data describing the interference pattern and convert it to a signal that is run through a speaker but that doesn't mean the interference pattern is audible.

The amazing thing is they detected gravitational waves, not that they hooked up a speaker to the data.

I think a proper analogy would be if back when someone created the first function generator they connected it to a speaker. Then in an interview the main message they delivered was that you could now "hear electricity."

It just seems like they are focusing on an afterthought.

I also have no idea why I am so fixated on this. :-p
Maybe unions (which are large monolithic organizations covering many employers) are not what I'm looking for.

It just seems that more startup engineering teams should engage in collective action, because in many cases, if the entire team left, the company would be crippled.

In a similar discussion a few months ago I learned that US car buyers have to buy pre-configured cars from lots, choosing from very few options. Meanwhile EU car buyers buy the same models having at least ten times the number of options, colors etc (which obviously makes it impossible for dealers to keep cars in stock, but also means delivery is several weeks to a few months). Recommend trying to configure a new Jetta on VW UK and VW US respectively if you are curious about the difference.

What I'd want as an American car buyer is not only configure and buy a car online but also have all the options available from the manufacturer (i.e. proper made to order cars).
Its the same kind of restriction that would tie programmer pay to lines of code written.

I understand it though to some extent - its more of a "cheating prevention" program, but I'll bet a very very very high percentage of test takers would find it a very large waste of time.
Ran out of RAM for cloud builds - Google generally does not use virtual memory for anything in the cloud, because it leads to unpredictable, massive delays which can cause cascading failures in services.

It was still "possible" to build on your workstation, but the locality patterns in linking and subsequent thrashing made this extremely an extremely small value of "possible". I recall once during this period I kicked off a local debug build on my workstation on Friday afternoon, went home for the weekend, and it was still running when I got into work on Monday morning. By Tuesday, I had given up and killed it.

You're saying this in response to a study that showed the industry being less hostile to women, at least on this particular axis.
Pardon me if I am being obtuse, but the point of the original comment was "black holes do not exist in our universe, since time dilation at the event horizon is infinite", yes? This is what I am arguing against.

The event horizon is within the future null infinity of your observer; i.e. the observer may choose to travel towards to black hole, and will asymptotically fall into it and thus undeniably observe it. Hence it does actually exist even for this observer. Moreover, the observer can observe the shadow, effect on nearby masses and the gravitational lensing produced by the black hole, thus indirectly observing the black hole, even though he cannot see the actual event horizon.
The point is that GitHub, as a fairly new company, is still establishing its reputation.

By being unresponsive, they are establishing precedent. They can establish the precedent they want, but it's also ok for people to question which way they're going to go.

Both refer to actual clusters in people-space. Saying someone is liberal gives you a lot of information about them. Saying they are 30 or whatever also gives you a lot of information. They are meaningful categories.

Height for men is like weight for women. Women want taller and men want lighter.

No no no no no. Height for men is like age for women. A woman can lose weight if she wants a particular man, but, just like men cannot make themselves taller, women cannot make themselves younger.

Also, some men like a BBW. I suspect this is much more common than women who actively prefer short men. (I have been a BBW. Some men really, really like that.)

>>This is science fiction, not an argument. We have no rational reason at the moment to believe this is the case, or even possible.

There are not only rational reasons, but even evidences to support what I'm trying to say.

Look at any insect colony or bacteria, they don't even recognize our presence, let alone our technology.

>>What we do in fact have is an increasing trend towards efficiency. Projecting that out along crazy growth curves suggests that advanced aliens are likely to be more horrified by such a waste of negentropy than we are.

We the advanced aliens to ants, are indulging waste and plastic pollution like never before. And ants the aliens to bacteria might appear the same.

Efficiency and waste are very relative terms based on what level of abundance or austerity on is supposed to live on.
On the same point, this is one of my primary frustrations as a sysadmin, because sometimes I need to be available lickety-split, but sometimes I need to be in deep focus mode, but my office environment isn't very conducive to deep focus mode... so sometimes I have to disappear myself to a hidden place just to get some thinking in.

Or, what happens more often, is that my productivity suffers and I end up staying late till everyone has gone away so I can actually not be interrupted.

Also, I really don't like shared open office spaces, and as a vet with ptsd, I really don't like having my back turned to the door, but management wants to be able to see everyones screen as they walk by.

While we are talking about overworked, the other issue that bugs me is disparity in expected work vs pay. To me, employment is a contract of goods and services. You pay me money to get a job done at a certain level. If you want me to be superman, you better pay me more like it! Instead, I continually hear the guys who have worked at a place more than 15 years say "You have to put in the work and effort and then hope they give you that raise, perk, etc...".

I don't think the baby-boomer generation realizes that there is no such thing as company loyalty in the big scheme of things anymore, especially in an at-will state. I'm tired of employees bending over backwards because they bring no power to the negotiating table on just about anything. I have a personal life and identity that is completely separate from work and I intend to keep it that way. If you pay me enough I would reconsider my work life balance, but I'm not going to do it for free and hope for it, it needs to be a deal struck in agreement between both parties and in contract form.

If there is one thing I could encourage we teach IT workers, it's the power of learning how contract law works, and all the stuff that comes with that. (eg: no you don't have to sign that, yes you can amend it, no that TOS is bad and unenforceable, that falls under the UCC, etc)
