I just started to dive into FreeCAD as an Inventor alternative.

(Are you talking about pre-Blender 2.5?
If so, I agree.

It was a challenge going from 3ds r4 and 3ds Max 2... Had to memorize hot keys and get used to a tile based layout. But once I did, I was fast.

The ui was very different, but in a good way, IMHO.
The 3D concepts are mostly the same.

But post 2.5, everything is much more discoverable. You can search for commands, pie menus, change hotkeys... and there's great learning resources now.

So I have to ask people that had a difficult time using blender, if they tried it in the last few years.)
Eh, don’t forget the external forces. Remember Itanium vs AMD’s x86_64?

I've got an XPS 13 which has a similar form factor to the 12" MB (304mm x 200mm vs 281mm x 197mm) and love it as well for all my tasks. The key is the screen - pack in a reasonable number of pixels and it's perfectly usable.
The damage would be that fewer people bother developing software for their platform.

Seems very hard to measure. So it's safe to speculate!
> The youngest sister may even grow up in a world where she doesn't have the same barriers as most women today.

If there are fewer barriers, then you might see growth. Unfortunately this is difficult to tell. Some surveys show growth, others don't:

S.O. survey respondents 5.8% women (2016) - http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016

S.O. survey respondents 5.8% women (2015) - http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2015

Google: 17% women (2014) - http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/05/28/google-release...

Facebook: 15% women (2014) - http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/25/facebook-diversity/

12.33% women engineers in tech (2013) - http://qz.com/143967/the-tech-industrys-woman-problem-statis...

10-12% developers are women in L.A. (2012) - http://www.forbes.com/sites/lorikozlowski/2012/03/22/women-i...

International Game Developers Association reported women went from from 11.5% to 22% between 2009 and 2014(?) - http://www.gamespot.com/articles/percentage-of-female-develo...

Why?

In addition to there being fewer women in the pipeline for tech jobs, it's been said that a good percentage of the ones that would've stayed in the workforce were harassed, etc. and left: http://www.vox.com/2016/1/17/10781366/women-technology-sexua...

And then there is the wage inequality problem, shown in the stack overflow survey results- see "Salary by Gender" in http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016

Possibly men are more likely to hire men, which could cause problems with growth in women's share of the market.

Of course there are also problems like having fewer role models when there are fewer in the industry, not having government and schools enabling women via scholarships, funding, etc. as much as they could, or possibly it's genuine lack of interest, but I don't think that's the case.

Development was invented by women, and it would be great if they made up a greater percentage: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/in-celebration-of-...
If the article is great, then I don't see the harm.

It's worse when an article is completely misleading and the content/subject is underwhelming. This is definitely not the worst example of this.
I have thought about this some but I suppose I'm just lost. I don't know where to even begin with a niche. I have not specialized in the web development domain, but I suppose most comments here are addressed within that scope. And perhaps there in lies my answer.
Your perscriptivism here seems misguided then, because if virus is a mass word we shouldn't be saying viruses either: just "virus". And anyway, if we absolutely had to express a plurality of virus, it would be "vira".

Anyway, this is hackernews.

For those of us who grew up in internet hacking communities of the early 90's "virii" was the plural form in the lingua franca. As a descriptivist of great habit, I will continue to use that form.
Android is programmed in Java. Other parts of the system were done with other languages.

That architecture worked for us - it may well not work for other needs, depending on communication latencies, costs, and so on.
my personal observation over the years says that the vast majority of new female engineers have come from foreign countries. Or are American citizens who immigrated here after middle school.

We're celebrating a narrowing gender gap, but American women seem to be largely left out.
Oh... my bad. The two sentences above the "Real hacker" statement were my favorite parts of the article. It has no relation to him being a hacker. Sorry for the confusion.
Vira, actually. However, virii is the hacker subculture form. This being hackernews... I'm comfortable with my decision.
They don't need Atom, as far as mobile devices go they are bringing Core to ARM's power envelope.
You can get Core M CPU's today with 3W power envelope with considerable performance lead over most ARM SOC's.

Intel has made a bet that it would take just as much time for ARM to reach x86 level of performance as it would take Intel to bring x86 power consumption down to SOC levels.
Now Intel can play on both sides with their low power x86 parts, Xeon-D with upto 16 cores and Core-M in 2c/4t configuration.

This is such a hack that it's more likely a dig on MySQL. It even says "MySQL has a lot of limitions on theses objects but you can circumvent them by tricking MySQL... It's easier to implement a FGAC system in other databases such as Oracle or Postgres as their objects have less conceptual limitions."
There's nothing intellectually fulfilling about a circular argument.
Itanium died because it was a very niche architecture Intel was working on their desktop/common server x64 line when AMD came out with Athlon64 which more or less won because it's desktop performance over the Pentium 4.
Itanium was a RISC-y endeavour by Intel and it had it's problems but you can't really say it died because of x86_64.

It's everywhere, because you need to be aware about the problem to mitigate it. The way to mitigate it is that you should never build SQL command in your language (concatenating, formatting etc). Instead you should use variable binding / parametrized queries.

When you do you that you ensure that there's separation between an SQL statement and the data and no untrusted data can affect the SQL statement.

It's more complex than that as you want to avoid local hot spots etc. Also, you can change the layout so a void on one chip is used as part of a second chip. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation. They can use lasor cutters which can trace out complex shapes.

It's much easer to cut rectangular chips though. Still, even if the used the same overall design and just ignore any defects over X area would boost yield.

Thank you for the insights. I have not implemented a CNN yet, but is certainly on my radar. In fact other reading the other night pointed me in that direction so I am exploring that at the moment.

I had the YouTube app crash on my Xbox One just yesterday. I hit menu and selected quit. Waited a few seconds. Hit menu again and quit wasn't an available option which should mean that it's done being force quit. Started YouTube again and it will still hung playing audio with a frozen picture. Sometimes I'll start it again and it'll just show the YouTube logo for a few seconds then return to home. It'll often do this a few times in a row. I have maybe 6 people in my neighborhood with Xbox Ones that all experience the same issues.

The ISP I use in Australia, Internode, re-streams a lot / most of di.fm's streaming radio channels at 256kb - so equivalent quality to paid membership of di.fm. They're not the cheapest ISP, but with the NBN rollout (FTTH) differences between ISPs are disappearing.

I continue to use Internode almost solely because they provide a service I want. I've never heard anyone claim this is a net-neutrality issue.

If ISPs provided bundled premium / membership access to other sites I'd see that as a differentiating factor not a net-neutrality issue. So long as they weren't intentionally throttling other services, but they we would expect their bundled services to have higher QoS priority otherwise we'd complain the 'free' content was shoddy.

Personally, I view the whole net neutrality saga as a restriction on the freedom to enter in to contracts. But I'd probably change my mind as soon as it affected me personally. Biases hey.

The Black White thing is a Crookes Radiometer[1] and it rotates because of differential heating of the black and white sides of the plates interacting with air molecules to create a tiny air flow from the light side to the dark side of the plate.

The device is under _partial_ vacuum. Under total vacuum, no rotation will occur, if the air pressure is too high, drag forces outpace the tiny thrust.

I understand your technical critique but stand on my hill :)

Its the principle of the thing not the execution or response
It matters because unless you understand the ecosystem very well, you don't know what else the presence of a native species affects.

For example look at the phenomena of keystone species. If you remove starfish from a beach, the mussels will take over and the rest of the tidepool animals get wiped out. The reason is that the starfish prefer eating mussels and so maintain a balance. Unless you really know the ecosystem, it is hard to tell what is a keystone species that completely changes things.

An introduced species is easier. Unless it is in the same ecological niche as a native, there is no possibility that it is a necessary part of the balance.

Unfortunately, mosquitoes are likely to have a significant ecological role. They have preferred targets. Their role as a disease vector affects what population density those targets can have. Wipe out the mosquitoes, and you don't know what will happen to that ecosystem.

That said, I've been bitten by enough mosquitoes that I'm willing to risk it...
Yeah imagine if someone had made similarly exciting claims about an unexpected and so-far impossible-sounding wrinkle in how gcc works. A bunch of people tested gcc and got all different results. Nobody cites any of the results or discusses any detail.

Everyone would be asking to see the code and the output for themselves before they got excited.

Wikipedia says that the experimental tests disagree on even the sign of the measured force:

"An article published by Shawyer in Acta Astronautica summarises the existing tests on the EmDrive. Of seven tests, four produced a measured force in the intended direction, and three produced thrust in the opposite direction. Furthermore, in one of the tests, thrust could be produced in either direction by varying the spring constants in the measuring apparatus. Shawyer argues that the thrust measured in the opposite direction is the reaction force from the drive, and therefore it is consistent with Newtonian mechanics.[1]"

Raspberry Pi isn't an enterprise/medical grade device in my opinion. I wouldn't want to have a SD card as primary storage either.

Very big hiccup that this policy might possibly run up against: the American border. Given the 280,326,500,000 USD in exports that Canada sends to the US [0], even a minor disruption at the border could wreak devastation on Canada's economy. If an American administration even hinted at an increase in border wait times due to newly enhanced searches as a result of legalization, any Canadian federal government would have to think very hard about the pros vs the cons of legalizing pot.

You're most likely being downvoted because you misunderstood the parent post.

Saying "you can code even if you're a woman" is incredibly patronizing. It was never in question.

If I started saying, "Well, I think everyone can code, even red-haired people", it'd be negatively worded against red-haired people.

Hey, have you ever heard a politician bring something up under the guise of defending their opponents?

Like maybe say "I do not believe in these allegations about my opponent being born outside the United States. And even if he isn't born in the US, it's not relevant. We should talk about his policies, not about my opponent being born outside the US."
I see what you're saying—but companies regularly respond to things like this very quickly. At least to say "we're looking into it" or "can you give us some time to respond." Apple and every other major company has people on call for things like this 24 hours a day, they have email on their phone ... the company saw my questions and chose not to respond. They still haven't responded or acknowledged it.

Also note that there are nascent "F-Rep" kernels that may end-up replacing / supplementing the B-Rep kernels now used in solid CAD systems.

They allow you to represent lattices and gradient structures that are essentially impossible to do with B-Rep systems.
I'm not an expert on time series databases, but the main thing that I can imagine they do differently is data storage order. In SQL world, the physical order of the data is simply determined by the clustered index. If you were to want your data ordered by time, you'd make an index on a timestamp and cluster by that index [1].

Then if you want to get the most recent N entries, your SQL server is limited pretty much only by the disk read rate, because it's just reading pages in the order they're already stored physically on disk, rather than seeking based on a non-clustered index.

So that really just leaves the possibility of specialized caching or archiving logic as the primary benefit of a TSDB, as far as I can tell. To me, that's not likely worth the added complexity or maintenance costs until I'm processing a lot of transactions.

For the most part, though, that's because I already have a ton of SQL experience. And of course, I could be totally off-base, and I'd want to benchmark the two optimal solutions and see what the difference really is for a given use case.

Nitpick: Non-public companies don't give RSUs. They either give stock options or "restricted stock", which is actually a completely different thing from RSUs. Either way, the basic intent is to ensure that, for tax purposes, the grant has zero value, because if they gave you a non-zero-valued grant then you'd have to pay taxes on it and if you can't sell the stock to cover taxes that is going to suck. Once public, the company can give RSUs because they are able to actually take tax withholding out of them (by selling a bunch).

I would argue that RSUs are rarely something the employee wants, compared to equivalent cash. At a big public company, you aren't likely to be able to affect the stock price with your personal performance, so it's not an incentive. You also likely can't predict whether the stock is likely to go up or down -- if you can, you're in the wrong job.

I would speculate that the appeal of RSUs to Google is as a hedge -- if Google's stock price goes way down, at least they'll get a break in employee compensation. Otherwise I honestly don't know what the point is. Just give people cash.

Startup equity is a completely different beast. You're getting a grant that is (in theory) worth $0, but you may actually be in a position to predict whether that startup is going to succeed, and even to influence the outcome. Maybe. That said, if the company doesn't tell you what percentage of the company you're getting, then it's a scam and you should treat it as $0.

(I'm a former Google employee and current startup founder.)
Pi Zero consumes about 80 mA when idle. An Arduino Pro Mini can do an order of magnitude better, and that's without getting fancy with sleep modes and a watchdog timer. For things where most of the time is idle, and so you can have the Arduino spend most of its time in a very low power mode and just wake up when it is time to read a sensor or adjust a control or something like that, you can do something like on average three orders of magnitude better than the Pi Zero. (Four orders of magnitude if you do a little hardware hacking on the Arduino).

That's the difference between having to change a couple AA batteries every day or two (Pi Zero) and running for a year off of a coin cell (Arduino).

Here's an article on power consumption of an Arduino Pro Mini: http://www.home-automation-community.com/arduino-low-power-h...

Other languages have this sort of test service available for open-source modules. One example is cpantesters.org, which is integrated into Perl's package repository. Not only is it easy to check what passes in your environment, it also makes it easy for module authors to fix bugs in environments that the author has no (other) access to.
But the thing I don't understand is why Intel gave up on XScale, their ARM-compatible effort
This isn't the first time Intel sold off a slice of itself. I remember AMD doing this many, many times.
For over 40 years, the form factor didn't matter. All that mattered was having the fastest and most performant CPU in the entire world. There was a real demand to crunch numbers and move bits since the 70's, so that's the world Intel, AMD, and everyone else knew.

To sell off a division that sold low-power chips for tiny margins in an industry that never, ever, ever explodes (until it did) was just plain normal. He would have gotten pressure and funny looks from the industry and shareholders if he didn't sell it off.
