For me the problem is that gozur88 "just doesn't believe" this, that the article seems "fishy" and that "experience" tells gozur that these things just-don't-happen in the post 1850 world. These are all the smells of an argument driven by an intuition prioritized over and above the real experiences of women in tech. Again and again we see this. The article that quantifies the amount of speaking roles in movies by gender, or if women have been sexually assaulted at work or not, excluded some datapoint, had one poorly stated point, didn't cover x or y or z, and therefore can be discarded. The problem is that no amount of evidence seems enough to please these people, and that any amount of links or anecdotes or documented cases seems to be discarded as cherry-picked. And the conclusion drawn is that the problem is overblown, and doesn't need to be addressed.

Its interesting to me that you mention Julia Evans. I've never encountered her writing, but she definitely has a belief in the truth of women's stories about harassment. See here: http://jvns.ca/blog/2016/03/06/women-only-spaces-are-a-hack/

Perhaps Julia would respond better to a direct e-mail asking her if she'd share any of her experiences in tech! Might be worth a shot?
The accusers (victims) are disadvantaged in court (i.e. where facts matter and where there is a very high standard of proof), whereas the accused are disadvantaged outside of courts (and in college "kangaroo" courts), where the standards of proof are much lower and and perceptions matter more than facts.

"Rape culture" advocates claim that courts should become more like kangaroo courts.

Either of those technologies is good enough technically for my purposes.

However, I have much more confidence in node's new governance (and therefore its bright future) than in Oracle. Oracle essentially has a monopoly on Java. And they're not nice guys. I don't feel comfortable building a cross platform application on Java no matter how much momentum it has gained historically.

Yeah, the ROG does command a premium. Good hardware quality but I think most of the extra cost is due to all the add-ons (e.g. premium onboard sound chip). It is a gaming motherboard after all.

However, never ever skimp on motherboard if you're planning to overclock :)

Nokia is buying digital health firm Withings for $191M
I liked the post, and empathized with some truths in it. I saved up and bought a used Commodore PET in 1977 at age 13. I taught myself assembler, c, basic, and went on to buy a Vic-20, C-64, Amiga 1000, Amiga 500, Mac PowerPC, NCR 3125 (386 pen-based tablet in 1995 or 1996!), and then read up on AI in the 1980s - Neural Networks, GAs, GP, Expert systems, Fuzzy Systems, Chaos, Complexity, etc... I was using Minix on my Amiga before Linux on my PowerPC, and I have dual-booted since, but Windows is also in my repertoire.
THEN, I gave it all up and became a welder at an animatronics company that made window displays, stayed in the entertainment field designing stage machinery, special effects, and so on. My last job was at a water show diving and fixing hydraulic and electrical systems as a senior manager and show manager (not in the US, since a senior manager would not be caught dead in the water!). I have now aged 51 years 11 months, getting heavily back into neural nets, livecoding graphics and music while living in East Java, Indonesia. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY as a contrast.
All I can say, and what I bestow on my older two children (I just fathered a baby girl a year ago), is that I left the fast track to the huge salary to do what I wanted, and that always kept me happy, and busy in a good way. I read books until I don't understand them, and then go back and forth to others until I do, and I stayed physical, and avoided 'desk job' ailments of most people my age. I have grown to know it is time, time with family and friends that money buys you. And if you have food, a roof over your head and some toys, you don't need the other $25K to $100K per year, or what have you. No, there is nothing new under the sun, but I have miles to go before I sleep...
I am based in Bulgaria and I recently had my first experience with a potential Swiss employer. It was rather unpleasant. After I went through 5 interviews we discussed my rates (as a remote consultant). I received a low ball counter offer which was about the half of what I usually charge. This quickly became a racist rant and a senior manager at the company tried to persuade me by saying that with the money they offered I'll "live like a king" in Bulgaria. Needless to say I politely declined because I would much rather work with people that value my work. I was really surprised that such unprofessional attitude came from Swiss company, but apparently it's not so uncommon judging by the blog post.

I'm sure Echo is great if you live in the USA.
The guilty mind (mens rea) does have bearing on sentencing and the types of charge. For instance if you intend to kill someone it's a different charge than if you accidentally killed someone, and if it couldn't have been foreseen that the actions would kill someone then there is generally no crime at all.
Same thing as IRC. Recommend clients that don't suck for the platforms they are using, and that are adapted to their technical level.
Yeah, it's pretty shocking to me too. I don't know how it happened, but somehow people interpret affirmative consent as meaning we're going to start prosecuting rape cases with presumption-of-guilt.

In my brain these are actually two different things. One is how we teach consent to teenagers and young adults, the other is fixing extremely well-documented biases in how rape cases are tried in court. Key phrase being "extremely well documented".

There's a lot of money out there that code hasn't touched yet. Biological sciences in particular are remarkably stuck in the 20th century. Don't talk to them about bioinformatics. Listen to the things they're doing. As though you were 12. And just ask questions.

If no rape is found to have occurred, which seems likely given there were police witnesses, then that lady is going to be in a world of bother. Firstly, it will have meant that she has appealed against a sentence, which means if it didn't occur she has perjured herself. Secondly, it's pretty clear that a false accusation like this is slanderous and the offended party would be well within their rights to sue. And thirdly, if a criminal conviction for perjury is recorded against the barrister, then I'd say it's likely she won't he able to practice law again.
For node.js I really like lwip [0], there don't seem to be many image processing libraries around but this one covers the most common manipulations and it's written in C++ so it's quite fast.

That is true, but grafi.js relies on a browser's canvas API to convert an image to a Uint8ClampedArray of colour values, so it won't work on a command line or backend either. As a way to learn about convolution filters it seems fairly good though.
I initially drew the same conclusion, but was nonetheless entertained by it.
Putting x tonnes into geosynchronous orbit is about as fungible as it gets. There wouldn't necessarily be any custom work at all (in practice there's integration work but if you're using a standard satellite bus that can be pretty standard).
It is not true. See my comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11565007
>Firstly, Haresh neglects to mention that the “app-only” strategy was attempted for Myntra and not for Flipkart itself.

This is inaccurate. Flipkart itself was moved to app-only on mobile. The move did not go well, and 6 months they created some sort of a compromised web-app kind of thing that lags and annoys the user.

So it was not just myntra where "app-only" was attempted. On a personal note, as I have mentioned in another comment, this single instance apathy towards the consumer means that I always visit Amazon first, and Flipkart second.
As a clear counterexample: you can certainly commit negligent homicide without intending to.
You can also do that with a human in the truck. I'm not convinced that it will happen more often with automated trucks.
I'm aware of that, it's the main GPU compiler I'm using currently. But I have to say, PGI only has limited resources and it would be very cool if there'd be a second player in town, especially if it's one of the big five.

Btw. I'm working on something that's geared towards pretty much exactly what you're talking about. My stretch goal is fully automatic GPU parallelization for data parallel Fortran code [1].

This is wrong, I use read-only mounts for Unix sockets all the time. Such mount does not prevent reading-writing to the socket. What the read-only mount prevents is modification of meta-information for the socket file like changing ownership or permissions or ability to delete it.
I can't emphasise enough how important (c) is. Personally, I find programming to be emotionally challenging in that you have to put emotion, and your own thoughts aside when cutting your code. Add in to the mix the social dynamic of the workplace and the emotional workload doubles.

I always had a feeling this was important. I remember reading about NEDs (New Economy Depression syndrome) and identifying with that, but it wasn't until I went and did a diploma in psychology that the rationality behind it all crystalised.

Across all fields that study wellbeing it's fairly conclusive that social support is one of the most powerful mediating factors. In summary the more friends you have the happier and healthier you will be.

How does this relate to "non technical people"? As a friend once said to me once, when I was going through a particularly kafkaesque work episode, "you need to get outside of your head". You need to engage with people on a plane other than the one you work upon every day - to give those parts of your brain a rest and to help you to develop others.

People are hard though. In many ways more difficult than computers but the key thing to remember is that unlike with computers there isn't a right or wrong thing to do at all times. People have empathy, they can be sympathetic, they can meet you half way and they can help you to figure out what you're thinking.

Start off with something small, where you don't have to have too many interactions, but where you can be around people. I don't know why but for some reason communal drumming classes comes to mind. The key is to be around people where they will get to know your face and you theirs.
Glad someone mentioned this. It's extremely condescending. I would consider myself a wantrepreneur at some point because I didn't know what I didn't know. I didn't even know how to start until I started reading, but I did see myself as wanting to become an entrepreneur - maybe even as one, but just at the beginning of the journey. Nobody wants to be called a poser.
How to Buy a 3D Printer (Guide)
I can think of a slightly more general solution to the problem of not being sure if A and B are different views on the same file or not, especially if you plan to hardlink one to the other: Hardlink A to a tempfile, hardlink the tempfile in place of both A and B, then remove the tempfile. This will give the right outcome regardless of whether A and B are secretly the same underlying file (assuming that they are on the same filesystem).
Well I had the same thing; I liked to really stick with techies and went to coding events (as far as there were any here). I thought that was nice and it felt like doing it right. Somewhere after selling a company I went travelling and relaxing for an undetermined period of time. Until I really didn't like that anymore and I wanted to get back on the horse and start full time coding again (I'm not the best with self discipline).

A friend told me to go to a fintech event and because it was 'tech' I thought I would meet a lot of very technical people (so same as always). There were only business people instead; most of them had a (long forgotten) technical background but only few were practicing any tech at that moment. I met a lot of them and exchanged ideas, possibilities and contact info. It was in a friendly way as I didn't go there to get work/jobs/projects; I was there to see what this market was like.

I liked it so much I went to a lot of non-tech startup events and general events and talked to more and more people. After only maybe a month or two people started mailing with questions, projects, business proposals etc. One of them I am working on now full time and others I advice, have shares in or work with in some way as the tech adviser.

I dreaded the interacting part like you and I dreaded flying; I started doing both of them (as they are usually intertwined; I need to get to people obviously) a lot and now comes naturally and I sit talking to everyone; on the airport, in trains, in bars, wherever instead of staring into my phone or book. So when I got over this whole dreading sensation I expanded to a much larger circle of non work related friends as well as work related contacts & combinations of the above.

TL;DR the dynamic that gives me work and freedom is the fact that when knowing a lot of non tech people, acting and/or being 'senior' and being able to drop names of people/companies/projects they also know (hence the 'a lot' part) will put you in a position of adviser and tech-trusty. Which gives you opportunity and freedom as you do not need to prove yourself at all anymore.

Not every site/product on the internet uses an abusive analytics platform, hell not all of them use analytics at all.

With sites visited in a browser, an extension can be used to block access to abusive services such as GA. There is no Ghostery for the terminal.

I have no issue with them wanting to collect usage information. I opt-in to Debian's package usage tracking.

If I still used Homebrew, I would have a huge issue with them sending information about what packages I install to Google.

Other smaller companies act like this, too. Was invited to a steak lunch for automic's UC4 (job scheduling) at a fancy dinner far away from anything relevant and at no point, during a two hour talk, was anything of substance actually said. They were trying to sell us UC4 (we already owned it, ffs) yet they didn't even show us the damn interface! Everything was fluff upon fluff upon fluff. And the execs - wearing some of the most expensive suits and watches I've ever seen - friggin' loved it.

The best part is that they brought in McDonald's UC4 engineer to talk about how good it was. When we asked him how they automated its deployment and where they got their init scripts from, since UC4 didn't include any (wtf), his answer was that it was basically his full time job to deploy it by hand, since he didn't know how to automate anything. Somehow he turned his lack of skill and McDonald's apparent lack of good tech leadership into a positive thing - which the execs also loved. These are the kinds of people making large, absurdly expensive software decisions for multi, multi billion dollar companies.

I have nightmares of trying to figure out their database schema. 2-6ish letter German acronyms for table names....

My comment was

"I think R cost is low, creating a poc is about 100th of the cost of a product (a proper product) but the risk of R is huge and therefore it's very hard to sustain and justify."

Which I think you have provided some good supporting statements for. I must really be missing something here.. Not sure what though!
Funny, but those of us not living in the Bay Area do mingle with non coders a lot. It's actually hard to find coders to mingle with. When I visited Palo Alto for example it felt weird. On one hand it seemed great at first, hearing discussion on databases or JavaScript on the street from total strangers. On the other hand it felt like a bubble, like an echo chamber. I actually heard this guy saying he liked some girl and wanting to ask her out with the pretext of raising money for his startup. I was like "on what planet am I?"

Thanks for your interest. Please refer to my answer to stewark, it explains that part.

But i can add that privacy handling can be a barrier to collaboration. Then finding a balance between scopes of knowledge or ideas/plans sharing is important so as not to annihilate collaborating potential losing efficiency/time/money but still be able to choose whom we share things with.
xCollabr should enable teams to do just that.

For example: A team working on hydroponics culture in New York can share their current ideas/pratices with all teams they've connected with on the platform, or "all teams working in AI in New York" , things like that.

Here sharing means "make discoverable". So that when someone's is using xCollabr, he can only see or search through what he's allowed access to. That way many teams can find complementarities in their plans/approach and start a deep collaboration on something.

My interactions were mostly with colleagues/employees I selected and hired myself; hardcore geeks. It gave me social-ish interaction without having to talk about scary non-coding things. I have always lived in Europe and outside my group of friends and/or colleagues I didn't really interact much. And my friends were obviously mostly techie.

Edit: it sounds a bit more negative than it was; I was always happy but now that I discovered this whole new thing I am more assured that the happiness will stay as I have a broader base now both emotionally and business wise if that makes sense
My own comment has been bouncing between a score of three to zero and up again. It's fun to see the limits of HN's scoring system - there are plenty of greyed out comments that are reasonably argued and that many people upvoted, but if the same number of people plus one downvoted it, then you get a lighter colour signifying, fairly inaccurately, that you have overstepped some sort of bounds.

You do have a point. It's conservative in the sense that it has been this way for a long time and that it's been working out well enough. Why do we need to change it?

And no, rehashing the old ">2011" meme for the millionth time is not a valid argument.
So, what is this? A rambling of everything around you portrayed in a negative light; I'm sure it's a formula that could work in a about any other city or any other job. Heck, I was sure at the end of it she would tell us she joined a fight club and has an imaginary alter ego called Tyler.

Intel’s Contributions to the Windows Bridge for iOS: The Accelerate Framework
Ask anyone sufficiently conservative/radical feminist which groups of people they think are "probably rapists", and you get the same results as baseless discrimination but through a different explanation.

People tend to think "probably" a lot more often with a lot less evidence about individuals or groups they dislike for any reason.

For instance, I think you're probably a crypto-nazi and should lose your job, but that's almost certainly a totally unfair belief based on my very limited and highly subjective viewpoint.
A few thoughts on game design methods
Very good points in this post, but it seems to me that they are only valid if you look at a single line of products / services at a time.

When you put multiple products/services in one store, that is when your products get to be next to both competing and non-competing (non directly substituable) products, there are other consumer feelings to add like the sum of all things they're going to buy -- whether or not they have a budget, the sum of the things will either look "cheap" or "expensive". And who knows what they will buy next... if they come back at all.
I think it's a misunderstanding that self-driving trucks will not have drivers on board. Or am I being naive? See this article on Daimler's recent trial in Germany:

"While self-driving is the name of the game, Highway Pilot isn't about letting those behind the wheel plonk their feet on the dashboard and snooze their way to their destination. Daimler likens the system to the autopilot used in aviation, in that the driver must be prepared to take control at any time." http://www.gizmag.com/daimlers-production-autonomous-truck-d...
This is very true. Many activists actually want to open up less-harsh sentencing or charge options in sexual assault cases to give prosecutors and juries more ways to treat the specifics of each case.
