There are many people who are simply unaware of the visual elements in a given situation because it's usually handled by the brain at an unconscious level - similar to speech.

It seems to me like you have a heavy feeling-based response to what I must resort to calling 'dyslexic visual input'.

You may want to include some auditory input, by associating the correct sounds with the letters to help you sort through it and perhaps just brush aside any unpleasant feelings that may arise. it gets easier with practice.

A problem with studies like this is that you may learn something of what it's like to be dyslexic, but probably that's all you're gonna get out of it. perhaps there are a few super geniuses out there who will see what it's like to have it and come up with some new way of dealing with it.

A better approach, especially for someone who has struggled with it, is to find people who have overcome many, most or even all of the difficulties associated with this neurological condition and see if you can mimic what they did.

Maybe even put an ad in the paper or online and find out if you can get people to call you and very carefully unpack their experience of having it and what they have done to overcome it. What you want here is a set of instructions that you can follow, and I'd start with the things that are common to the majority of the people you speak with, so be ready to take notes or record it.

Recent studies have revealed that the brain is remarkably adept at rewiring itself, especially if you feed it the right materials to work with. I mean that both literally and figuratively, so a diet rich in omega 3s and 6s as well as any minerals or other chemicals that are precursors to neurotransmitters such as DMAE, Magnesium and so forth.

If you believe that gender-correlated differences in life outcomes are largely due to societal norms, there are some issues which should be much higher priorities than (relatively) small differences in earnings due to choices of professions. For instance, almost all inmates on death row are male, and 90-95 percent of the prison population are male; this is a terribly disparate outcome with a much greater impact on the lives affected (and likely due mostly to mens' life choices, not a biased legal system). Perhaps you might argue that we should encourage men to stop committing crimes, but alas, we already do that, and it does not seem to work. Should we then use affirmative action to start encouraging women to take risky decisions to be more like men and be imprisoned at similar rates (or perhaps just imprison women at random if we are only after equality of outcome)? I don't know that this would work, but it would be 'fairer', would it not?

I believe that men are affected by a great number of factors including their biologies, and struggle to understand why anyone would believe otherwise.
In newer Mac's (2012 onward IIRC) you can just boot into a net installer, and it goes and fetches the installer from the internet before re-installing.
Essentially, it happens from a tax perspective. Governments try to push up "workforce participation" to increase tax revenues and reduce benefits outlays, and increasing the incentives for women to go back to work a few months after childbirth is part of that. From their perspective, a childcare centre with a staff:child ratio of 1:4 is more efficient than a stay-at-home mum with a nine month old baby at 1:1 (and the older siblings already in school).

Socially, we might like flexibility in terms of it being a choice whether to look after the kids yourselves before they start school; for the beancounters though, they'd really like you both to be paying more income tax please, and the daycare centre to be employing more people too...
I can't currently say that I am a compiler writer, since I'm working on static analysis tools, but I have been a compiler writer for more of my career than I have been anything else, and I was thoroughly amused by the tone of the paper. It's not particularly professional, and it's not likely to change minds among the people he is excoriating, but I don't think that's the point. Instead, I think he's trying to shift the "Overton window", to embolden people uncomfortable with the status quo, so that they can argue for what they want instead of accepting the opinions of compiler writers as some kind of unchangeable holy writ.
Society is helped by having healthy babies, yes.

You haven't provided any support for your argument that I, as someone without children, must be made to subsidize the family choices of others.

The resources to cover the extended work absence of the parents has to come from somewhere. In many cases, it'll be one past parent covering a new parent, and then vice-versa. But those of us who can't have children (a) don't get to have children, yet (b) are stuck holding the bag having to pay the costs for others'. Isn't that kind of adding insult to injury for people who can't have babies?

So how is it that you get to make the decision for all of society, such that it must be a one-size-fits-all law, and people aren't allowed to negotiate for the terms that make the most sense for their own personal situation.
You're saying that the entire story is fabricated?

In the case of the software industry in the US, the companies themselves have a strong economic incentive to get school girls to choose engineering careers. It'd almost double the pool of hiring candidates. So it's something that the market eventually balances, only maybe not fast enough.
In my opinion, that's the point. Acknowledging that there is a dam whose collapse is capable of killing a million people is very different from actively assigning military personnel to study how to compromise the dam and flood the population for strategic gain. As the GP said, the statement "war is hell" is only made true by our own behavior during wartime, not by any universal law of the universe.

This is very murky territory no matter how you swing it
New father here. My current employer provides two weeks of paternal leave. I ended up taking a third week of vacation time to extend this, which I'm in now.

It still doesn't feel like it's enough. I'm exhausted today, despite taking a mid-day nap. When I go back next week, I will not be at my best, and there's no way of me being at my best short of sleeping in another room with earplugs while my wife does 100% of the (often literal) heavy lifting of child care.

> If you desire status over other people, admit it.

No, it's an observation of human behavior. When I see a large scale change in human behavior, I will change my opinion. What purpose do you debate on an internet forum that doesn't boil down to 'status seeking'. Think of all the the things we do all day that are essentially motivated by 'status seeking'.

That's this part of your comment: "emotional support", "accepting of other's identity", "taxing some roles and subsidizing others", "undesirable roles". Those all come out of stereotypes.
But if you quickly use sudo .../createinstallmedia to make a bootable usb installer from your annoyingly re-downloaded App store installer, you should be safe from this, shouldn't you? That's what I did when I installed, but I haven't tried to use my usb installer, so I suppose it could have expired too. (edit) Sigh, yes, expired also. Re-downloading...
The answer to both of those questions could be Yes.
The current specification create a "concept" keyword. Why the fully checked concepts couldn't just use another keyword like "checked_concept" that behave exactly like the "concept" keyword for user of the library ? Library implementers can then migrate progressively their code when they can.

edit: or, alternatively, create a "checked_template" keyword when implementing a checked template.
We have a module system, but that doesn't help. You can still define methods on arbitrary types, subject to the coherence rules.

You can still write out a disambiguated form to distinguish the two, but it's not the default way. That's one of the reasons why adding a defaulted method to a trait is a minor change. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1105-api-... for more.
> we're forcing women to specialize in child-rearing

I see no evidence of any force being applied. Women are free to chose their own relationship types same as men. Exceptionally few choose to be breadwinner supporting a stay at home father. Vastly more choose to be stay at home mom married to an income earning dad.
So, you're claiming the story is fabricated?

> Governments try to push up "workforce participation" to increase tax revenues and reduce benefits outlays, and increasing the incentives for women to go back to work a few months after childbirth is part of that.

This theory conflicts with the fact that the trend over time has been toward more support for parental leave, not less, on the part of government.
The golf example (from later in the article) is telling: if those most looked-up-to in the profession publicly and exhaustively exhibit a dedication to fair play, and it's part of the culture down to the lowest levels, then it can work much of the time. You also have to be brutal in enforcement: golf pros who sign an incorrect card, even if they just misunderstood a local rule, are disqualified (though this is changing, see http://espn.go.com/golf/story/_/id/13975820/rules-golf-elimi...).

It's true that once people start getting away with cheating, even minor cheating, and others see it, it quickly becomes universal. Like cycling (also from later in the article).
I'm maintaining a docker image to cross-compile at https://hub.docker.com/r/fabricedesre/rustpi2/. It's Rasberry Pi2 specific since it relies on a tweaked sysroot to link against OpenSSL and a few other libraries.

The way I'm using it is: docker run --name rustpi2 -v `pwd`:/home/rustpi2/dev/source -v $HOME/.cargo:/home/rustpi2/.cargo fabricedesre/rustpi2 cargopi build (cargopi is just equivalent to cargo --target=armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf)
This is spot on. These days the pressure of achieving A* grades in maths and further maths for maths applicants definitely reduces pupils' capacity for taking additional modules 'for fun'. The standard offer for top universities has become A* A* A, often with the proviso of passing an additional entrance exam (STEP / AEA)... I have seen the offer go as high as A* A* A* without the entrance exam, and achieving this is is a feat in itself, requiring both breadth and depth in several subjects, and consistently strong performances in 6 - 10 exams.

Have a source? My understanding is that there's been an overall decline in stem degrees; meaning that, if there's a gap, it's not due to gender bias or a lack of opportunities for a given gender. Basically, I don't buy it, but happy to be proven wrong too.

Typography is very important but it's one of the first things that designers learn about so it's accessible low hanging fruit that gets upvoted often. It's made worse by the fact that design isn't as rigorous as science so it's harder to completely invalidate articles like these. These kinds of posts are similar to debates about how you should comment on code or what version control software you should use. It matters, but it gets a disproportionate amount of press compared to its importance.

That's also not what's happening with Echo. You'd literally have a few seconds of audio being sent to Amazon and then some text (the result of the ASR) being sent to the third party ticket search / reservation system.
I do many of these things as well. I've always been curious if it's some mild form of dyslexia or ADHD. It bothers me but I don't think it's been an obstacle.
> maybe introduced officially supported IDE

I would much rather they don't do that and instead offer tools that can answer IDE-like queries (e.g. "Who calls this function?", "Where is this identifier defined?", etc.) and let people integrate that into Emacs, Vim, Atom, and other editors and IDEs. This brings all the communities together and doesn't dictate one particular tool over all others.
How many armies in history have had the power to carry out mass murder on the scale of a million plus civilians in a single day, let alone planned to do so?

Killing such a number of people in such a short time has been absolutely impractical until the last century. Only China, Japan, Russia, and the United States have been able to carry out such destruction and none have been able to do so in such a short period of time except for nuclear weapons in WWII.

For routing, VPN, and firewall, I run pfSense on a Jetway NF36-2600 I bought 4 years ago. I intend to keep using it for another 6 more years. It's still massively overpowered for my limited bandwidth and can run normal FreeBSD packages. x64 beats ARM/MIPS/Other in convenience every time.

Keeping wireless separate allows me to use better commercial gear from Ruckus, Cisco, or Aruba for the WiFi. I'm currently using some 5th generation, 802.11n Airport Extremes that are now the bottleneck when transferring files around the house. Will probably go with Cisco 802.11ac gear later this year.
Some people would say that this is the first step in an acquisition. I don't know if Google wants to take on the music industry this squarely though.
If you need to deal with heat, you set up one side to be good at reflecting, and the other side to be good at radiating. That doesn't require perfect materials. It doesn't even require particularly great materials. For the job of shading the earth, you would do fine with a design that only reflected half the light. We can do much better than that with existing technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail#Materials talks a bit about which designs can handle getting significantly closer to the sun than Earth. None of the designs there would have trouble with heat if they were in orbit around Earth.
The content seems to be written by a hobbyist decompiler developer. Unfortunately, the state of the art that it presents seems to rely heavily on the Program Transformation Wiki pages, which appear to have become rather defunct (its pages, on further research, appears to have been primarily maintained by Mike Van Emmerik, and both Van Emmerik and Cristina Cifuentes appears to have moved on from binary decompilation a while ago).

As a result, the academic state of the art that it's relying on is a decade out of date. While decompilation is in nowhere near a solved problem, there have been advances in variable and type recovery in academic literature that the author of these pages doesn't seem to be aware exists.

The content of the pages mostly seems to be the sort of basic material that I wouldn't even bother citing in a research paper. I'm not sure there's any information in there that you wouldn't find in, say, the dragon book.

It’s nice to see these things resolved in studies but I thought the outcomes were rather predictable.

In the case of security, it isn’t enough to have a policy-maker be passionate about solving a problem. Simply having a policy (read: obstacle to getting work done) will not automatically instill passion in everybody else to solve the same problem. Instead, people will find the least-effort solution to work around the obstacle! Basic password transformations and/or writing passwords down should therefore have been anticipated by any “security expert” long before recommending frequent password changes.

Now, imagine this alternate approach:

- Educate everyone on passwords, emphasizing the length. The idea is to get users invested in the problem of security instead of just making a policy.

- Set up the system to reject any password less than 25 characters.

- Aside from length, no character restrictions. In fact, multiple spaced words (“pass phrase”) are strongly encouraged. Employees are encouraged to make their passwords memorable nonsense sentences such as “chair bleak elf combination” and so forth. Mobile interfaces are then designed to make it easy to search dictionary words (because so many people will be using them to enter very long passwords). In other words, build the system to make it easy to do what people will probably try to do anyway but make it secure.

- Passwords are not required to change as frequently as every quarter. Maybe once a year.

- Systems are set up to periodically require 2nd-factor authentication mechanisms, such as one-time text messages or E-mails.

Woah woah woah, slow down. You are infering that childcare and other non-work flex time activity isn't work. I was not saying anything at all about time spent outside the job. I was trying to clarify the argument that you were responding to by demonstrating how it is not a straw man.

To follow the argument from it's origins, you led with

>I'd be amazed if there wasn't a correlation between time in the office and productivity.

And you were later responding to SamBam saying

>Regularly doubling your hours in the office generally does not even remotely double a person's productivity.

Which I was clarifying was not exactly a straw man because the fact that he chose "double" the hours was merely a hyperbole to demonstrate that productivity (in the office) does not scale positively with time spent (in the office).

So we are talking about correlation between time in the office and productivity (in the office). The negative correlation that was spoken of is a very measured effect, multiple studies and articles can be found [0] using the same tool that you so kindly used to define benevolent sexism to me with.

I sadly can't say the same for Visual Studio Code, which I hear so many great things about, but can't bring myself to use for more than a few minutes. From what i've been able to tell, the only visual customisation available is choosing the syntax colour theme.
> Because people should totally be making major life decisions on the basis of what employers will "tolerate".

Shouldn't they? The career you choose, and the specific firm you choose to work for (or start your own, or whatever) is what I would consider a major life decision which ought to carefully be considered alongside other major life decisions like whether or when to have children.
Reports Coming in of Big IBM Layoffs Underway in the U.S.
People who work less and have a better work-life balance can get more done in less time.

Companies with poor work-life balances often have a culture of 'long-hours' that pushes people towards spending (or acting like they are spending) more hours working that are necessary to complete their tasks.

I haven't seen anyone pushing for 'higher compensation per unit of output', but many employees would like their employers to focus on improving 'output per worker hour' in addition to 'output per worker'.

To be clear, if we want this we have really only have one option: Increase demand (for jobs or products from) companies that do this well. Good work-life balance is a non-salary perk like many others that companies offer.

You can't legislate this focus on the part of employers, all you can do is incentive it.
