I would expect a developer to fully look into the bottlenecks in their application before applying something like this. For example, if they quite often have complex, multi-stage image processing pipelines, then offloading the entire pipeline to the GPU might result in quite significant speedup.

In addition (iirc) CPU-GPU busses have got quite a bit faster in the last 5 years. They're still a large bottleneck, yes, but for expensive, highly parallel computations on small pieces of data they don't completely dominate the computation cost.

EDIT:

I've also noticed that this framework uses OpenGL(ES) for its offloading. Given that, the computation could easily be offloaded to an embedded (i.e. non-discrete) GPU, eliminating the data movement cost.
You are right, I slightly changed the headline to avoid unnecessary confusion.

Objectification doesn't really apply to a still image. The whole trope was initially about women in media being the object of the male character's conquest. Essentially the women were turned into nothing more than props.

A t-shirt depicting scantily clad women may be in poor taste and likely isn't professional, but doesn't really contribute to the objectification of women. Women are allowed to be sexualised (just as men are), the line is drawn when women are subjugated to only that role (which, again, we witness in some media, games, movies, TV, rarely books).

You're just moralising right and wrong and then using objectification as some kind of trump card, no matter how little it applies. Men are allowed to wear t-shirts with half naked women on them, it isn't inherently sexist, just tacky and unprofessional (in my opinion).
Many forms of sexual harassment are not crimes. Some forms (physical assaults, extensive stalking) are, but something like repeatedly asking a subordinate for a date isn't something the police would be able to intervene in.
That reminds me of one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I've ever heard on a news program.

One year when Halloween rolled around on a Sunday, a local woman was interviewed who said she'd send her daughter out on Saturday instead because Sunday was the Lord's day and Halloween was a day for the devil.

A: Why are you allowing your daughter to participate at all, if that's how you feel?

B: Saturday is the Sabbath!

It's not about who would read your work, but who can. I don't read much the FBI/NSA/rest of government produces but I'm pretty frustrated every time the suggestion of exempting troves of content from the FOIA comes up.

I also know that my access guarantees other researches access to the same content, meaning the research that they do, that may one day benefit me down the road, has had free access to all of the knowledge available to make the best play at their own research.

It's scary to me that scientific knowledge can be locked away. I am the kind of person that believes all pharmaceutical research should be freely published and publicly available as well. Patents provide all the monopoly protections necessary, and sunlight helps disinfect bogus science that sometimes leads to death in the pursuit of profits.

I'm not positive. But that would be between them and their employer. I think it's odd that I can't find a quote from any of his co-workers (men or women) about the issue. They are the only ones who would have standing to complain on a normal day without news cameras around.

if your bosses are groping you sexually, then they are sexual harassers, it doesn't matter what gender you are. If by "their idiotic demands and abuse", it's asking you on dates / groping you / etc., I wouldn't really classify that as "welcome to the workforce", it's harassment.
> If anything, it's 1% of the world. The problem is not limited to the US.

Probably it's not worth making this point, but I think that would almost certainly be a bigger, not smaller fraction of Americans, since I think Americans are more, not less, likely to read scientific research than the rest of the world.
> It's amazing that sexual harassment (or any kind of harassment, really) can survive the era of the cell phone recording?

In some jurisdictions it's illegal to record someone without their knowledge or permission, so the victim of the harassment can get nailed to the wall for trying to gather evidence to support their case.

What? Links to old discussions (especially when they were informed) is always good. And sometimes it'll avoid a redundant rehash of points. When it comes to software like TLS/ssh, it's also very interesting to see if things that were true/important a year ago are less true/important now.

I see where you're coming from, but I think everyone is well served not always looking for ulterior motives where there are none. A link to a rich previous discussion on a topic is almost always both relevant and informative, and saves others from having to go an search for the relevant thread(s).

If there's one great failing of computer science as a field, it is the lack of history -- people just don't know what was, or how things came to be. And so we have a lot of effort wasted on recreating yesterdays mistakes, today, rather than building on old solutions to create better ones for tomorrow (to partly paraphrase Alan Kay).

The response to "celebrity X has a sex tape" is already "meh, so what? I've got a few too". The same thing has happened with drug use - in my lifetime we've gone from Clinton saying "I tried pot, but of course I didn't inhale it" to an understanding that it's unremarkable to have smoked some marijuana in early adulthood.

When the kids today growing up with social media from childhood start applying for jobs and running for office, it'll be hard to find candidates without something you can find... and you'll probably be wondering if they're secretly a serial killer with such a clean record.

Maybe, but shouldn't the people of upstate NY be allowed to make that decision for themselves? By saying "no", that basically sounds like authoritarianism, that 20M people shouldn't be allowed to decide for themselves what their governance should look like, rightly or wrongly.

Finally, I'm not an upstate NYer, but it's not just some rural area; there's multiple good-sized cities there, including Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany. There's also a lot of farming there; where do you think NYC gets its food? I live down in Virginia now but I frequently get milk from NY. Finally, I think more rural areas might be happier joining forces with other such areas. Perhaps upstate NY would like to join with Vermont, or with part of northern Pennsylvania (including Erie). (Actually, I'm thinking VT, NH, and most of Maine except the part near Boston would be better off joining into a single state, and also taking the eastern sliver of NYS that borders VT.)

People aren't going to change their values if they have someone else's values forced on them from outside; they have to realize their values aren't working and change them willingly. It's just like how Christianity was suppressed in Russia by the Soviets, and then had a huge resurgence after the USSR fell, and now the Russian Orthodox church is a huge force in Russia today. People in these regions are going to cling to their values even more strongly as long as people in the cities force legislation on them that they don't agree with. The answer is to leave them to their own devices and let them fail by themselves.
>How many people read this research? 1% of America?
I disagree with this.You need to realise these numbers are because it is behind a fortified wall.There have been several times i've ended up on Elsevier/IEEE and could not read things because of the registration involved.Now i dont even bother looking at those urls(except if I am interested enough to go via SciHub). And I am quite sure there are several others like me too.

Access to Information determines the number of people who access it.The numbers might be lesser earlier,but I assure you the growth would be exponential.
Its just painful to see how delayed/selective interactions are in the "scientific papers world" when it would be possible for massive interaction which could lead to an "Academic Boom"(horrible pun but you should get the point).
I completely agree with you.

Although I use social media, I tend to only post pictures there that are meaningful to others, like photos with/of other people that dignify them, or pictures about my life that do not serve my ego, but can hopefully enrich the life of my friends.

I am quite sad by the glorification of narcissistic attitudes, posts, photos, etc in most of modern societies. That does not seem not me like the way humans as whole can evolve to be even better beings.

> Not trying results in 100% failure rate.

It is worth noting that you are comparing two failures with very different personal impacts.

While not trying to create a business certainly ensures that you fail to build a business, you do at least avoid the much greater failure of trying to build a business and it driving you to bankruptcy and depression.

I am sure there are many people that would happily swap a 90% chance of a high-impact failure for a 100% chance of a low-impact failure.

I agree with what you're saying. Generalized advice doesn't work with everyone and with every situation since people are different. You've got to take what does apply and leave the rest. I'm going to therapy now too and my therapist does help me to not to take the assertiveness too far but at the same time she admits that she's shocked to see me go through such vast improvements in such a short amount of time. I'm surprised too, once I stopped caring so much about the relationship and I actually tried to end it after my wife got physically abusive again, my wife is now getting her act more together and realizes that domestic violence is an immediate relationship-ender for me now.

Same story, different source.
In some cases, you can. One apparent problem in SanFran (and I've heard of it in NYC too) is unoccupied properties, which could be used for housing but aren't because their owners prefer to just sit on it and not use it at all (maybe it's a vacation residence or they're speculating its value will rise).

If you stick a massive tax on that, that deters that kind of behavior, and forces them to either rent out the property, or sell to someone who will either live in it or rent it out. This will increase the housing supply, which would then decrease the cost of housing overall by providing more supply and more competition. This wouldn't be a tax that people would actually pay, unless they're stupid; they would take steps to avoid paying the tax altogether.

Taxes don't make stuff more expensive: they deter behavior. The simple rule is: if you want less of something, tax it. Now, this isn't always true, but to an extent it usually is, especially for consumption. (It's not really true of income taxes usually; everyone usually wants more income, and needs some amount of income, so a tax on that income doesn't discourage that, unless the tax is so high or so wacky that it discourages working for additional income.) Here, we want people to stop leaving properties unoccupied, so we slap a giant tax on that so they'll stop doing it.

> not a hr reprimand.

Not to mention chance as good that the victim will get reprimanded as the culprit. HR's purpose, whether it's in universities or in private companies, is to protect the employer. That's who pays their bills and that's who gives the orders.

If a complaint makes the employer look bad and the easiest way to make it go away is to sink the victim, that's exactly what HR will do.

The only department less moral than HR is internal affairs, and most companies don't get to have one.
Not necessarily. Though it's true that many implementations have these problems, they're not inherent to infinite scroll.

Regarding footers, who's to say the footer needs to go beneath the infinite scroll area? You could instead place the contents of the footer in a sidebar that stays in a fixed position. Alternatively the footer could be overlayed at the bottom of the page so it is always visible (a recent design trend would have it hide when the user scrolls down, but reappear when the user scrolls up).

As for page numbers, there's nothing stopping you from adding them. Each item should probably have some sort of permalink to allow you access it directly, and there should be suitable navigation to allow you to find individual items.

I find it quite sad that infinite scroll gets a bad rap due to poorly designed implementations. Perhaps it will get a better reputation if more websites actually put some thought into how infinite scroll is used.
> So when I read these articles I wonder if it's the same people and how they translate treating male workers like garbage into treating female workers like garbage. It's not misogyny; it's welcome to the workforce and dealing with people above you who are neither competent not deserving of their positions and their power trips and borderline psychopathy.

I think what the issue is when it comes to the male boss/female employee dynamic is those power trips frequently take on a sexual dynamic in private.

> What do you think? Or are there really nice bosses who are just complete assholes to women with zero crossover?

I know one manager I used to work with who seemed nice but literally every single hire he has made has been an asian female.

He also was the only one besides me with an office with essentially no windows. [i.e. You close the door, no one can see in.] However, I never close my door for that reason while he does so all the time.

I think that was a lawsuit waiting to happen and I've said as much. However, my concerns were basically ignored since the one who confided in me that he does that sort of thing was terrified of losing her job since this was the third job she has had in 2 years [She is extremely attractive and had a similar problem at the previous jobs she got out of college]. She started carrying pepper spray instead.
