I do not think that OP doubts the existence of harassment, I think he doubts the causes of it. The cause written, "this person received horrific threats because she's good at her job and out teaching others how to use an up-and-coming programming technology" does seem pretty unlikely.

On one hand, this comes off kinda' bad, as if we're looking for the real reason this person is being harassed, looking if they deserved it or not. No matter what prompted this harassment, this is wrong, terrible and should not happen to _anybody_ no matter the sex, position or actions of that person.

But, I still have my curiosity as to what reason these harassers might have. They might be simply sexist but that seems a little exaggerated, considering there are other women that have exposure and don't seem to suffer the same level of harassment. I enjoy greatly reading Julia Evans's posts for example, and I haven't seen signs of harassment over there - maybe I haven't been paying attention.

There might be something specific that this person did that made the harassers angry - I repeat, this is not to incriminate miss Jessie Frazelle, and she might not have done anything wrong, but something made the attackers angry, maybe something complety ridiculous. What would that thing be? If there is a thing this person did, this harassment might have originated even if she were a man. Maybe it's not such a sex thing after all? It seems there are plenty of public people that get death threats and are harassed, and these things are generally tailored to the sex of a person - women get killed an raped, men get killed and told to suck a dick.

I don't know, I'm just confused - it's true there aren't many women in tech, and I'm as welcoming as possible but there are certain issues that I don't understand and don't know how to approach, but trying to solve them requires actually understanding them beyond a short article and evasive tweets.

The 128 bit checksum, because the real entropy of the file size is closer to 10-20 bits (most files aren't very large, and large files are sometimes multiples of common sizes like 1 KB). That's assuming a non-malicious, non-pathological system.
Social/political issues are not orthogonal to technical issues -- in fact, the belief that they are orthogonal is fundamentally conservative (protective of the status quo).
I have very big concerns about culture.

When you bring new people to a company, they tend to work the way they use to in their previous occupation. More often than not, a new employee will start his sentences with "What we used to do in this situation" or "that's why we did it that way at X", trying to both build up on his past experience, and to find an anchor of familiarity in an unfamiliar environment.

This is normal phase and usually wears off after a few weeks/months. But for as long as it lasts, this behavior can be annoying for your current employees as they have built up their own thing, and they don't necessarily want to be reminded that there were other options that they didn't follow.

The risk that you take when bringing a team of 3 to 5 people is that they go in their own corner, dismiss all the tools that already exist, recreate the work environment they are used to, don't mix well at all with other employees, etc.

And what you get from people being used to work together, you loose in management pain. I think the usual way of hiring one person, who then can refer to the good guys in his previous team is a much sounder approach, as it lets time for the culture to adapt.

Maybe this isn't a great solution, and I haven't tried it, but you could defriend everyone, and set your privacy settings so nobody can see or find you. For most purposes, you'd cease to exist on Facebook.
How is this in any way tricky? Consent is something the giving of which involves clear communication, not just something that exists in the mind of one of the parties. Likewise, consent can't just 'cease', it has to be withdrawn, which involves communicating the withdrawal to all parties concerned.

It's like signing up for a phone contract, then deciding you don't want it any more and stopping using the phone. If you don't tell the provider then they're completely within their rights to keep billing you.
So to draw a parallel to the current argument, are you claiming that no woman has been abused by a man simply for doing a better job than them?
While very(!) cool as a proof of concept,
This type of solution should probably be avoided for security, stability and portability reasons.

Allowing a string in your program to be dynamically converted to assembly code, copied to executable memory and be executed is a remote code execution security hole just waiting to happen.

I'm wondering what the use cases for this were, and if they couldn't be achieved in another way.

That was an eye-opener. For some reason I thought Switzerland was a worker's utopia with the relatively higher salaries.
I feel there might be a very interesting thought process going on in your second paragraph, but I cannot parse it. Would you mind explaining in a bit more detail on the link between articulation and answer? At face value, the formulation of a problem would definitely bear effect on the answer. I.e. what I ask determines the answer. And I would guess that information is naturally shared between a question and its constraints, given that constraints are constituents of the question. But I feel you are onto a different kind of link here.
I can't tell if palate is a typo/autocorrect or a clever wordplay. Not a native speaker here.
Well for this specific `add` function, no it won't :)

The hotspot compiler will generate the same code anyway (perhaps even more optimised if it is possible I don't know). Worse, this code would probably be inlined while the `native` version won't.

Surprise, surprise. A custom-built, overclocked machine with more of its cost invested in its CPU was faster than one that wasn’t overclocked and is sold for looks and stability over raw performance. It’s not like the choice of almost all the components had absolutely no impact on the final result.

I think it is really hard to compete with Amazon on cost. That
is Amazon's strength and you will most likely lose that battle unless the government has some kind of protective measures in place or you get another titan like Alibaba or Google taking a majority stake. Flipkart still has plenty of mindshare but they need to innovate. They are not going to win based on prices alone.
In the UK, there have been several examples of a woman getting drunk, having apparently consensual sex and then deciding the next day that she was raped. The male now has to prove that sex was consensual. The woman gets lifetime anonymity and the male has to undergo a public trial, almost always with commensurate loss of reputation and employment, even if later proven to be innocent.

There is a very recent example where a female barrister (senior lawyer) was involved in a public sex act with a male. She accepted a police caution for public lewdness the next day. She then discovered that the press were about to publish the story and very cynically, to stop her name from becoming public, she reported that in fact she had been raped. She was immediately given lifelong anonymity and the male was exposed to public trial.
These kinds of posts attract the Reddit-ier crowd of commenters that already exists within HN, if you know what I mean. The title gave me that feeling; the article confirmed it; and the fact that there were enough comments to require scrolling, on an article about “Which computer is faster, Mac or PC???”, hit the nail on the head and sealed the coffin.
It's interesting for me as a long-term Soundcloud user to hear a predominance of listeners here, when my experience of the site is that it focusses on producers and performers.

Sure, once in a while someone with a YouTube mindset uploads an album that they clearly didn't write, or an indie label learning about PR reposts their own back catalogue, but not that often. Mostly, artists upload tracks they wrote or are working on, and people repost a curated taste of what they are inspired by.

That's what I found about six years ago and my community on there have helped to keep me publishing music occasionally - not just writing bits and pieces but actually finishing music and hitting upload.

I think I'm fairly central for Soundcloud's target audience. You'll find download links on my tracks (full quality) and no Beatport, iTunes or Bandcamp links, because it's something I do for fun, not profit. I've never reached my upload limit because I'm not exactly prolific - or because the limit is generous.

The service has value to me, but I simply don't need anything that going pro offers.

I'm 41 and a dev (and manager and bunch of other roles when needed, but most my days are spent with software/hardware dev) and sure, it's all true what this article says, but there is no real personal advice there besides, as others said, just 'don't do everything, but do everything'.

So some unasked advice from a 40+ then which I wish I was told when I was 17 or something: a) believe in yourself; learn from others, but if you have strong opinions or think something is wrong then voice it even though others (are supposed to) have more experience b) fast typing and making long hours are irrelevant c) get out there and mingle with non coders a lot.

All of these 3 points (I learned them at different stages, in order of appearance above; c I only started doing 3 years ago) made me never having to need a job as such, always worked where/when I wanted, always made enough money and usually have enough spare time to do whatever while still performing.

No other comments have directly addressed the quote you referenced. My interpretation is it is saying that rape cases are prosecuted about the intent of the perpetrator. Aka, they are convicted if it can be shown that they intended to commit rape, or knowingly committed rape, and acquited otherwise.

This puts the standard of conviction much higher than other crimes, because lots of crimes can be committed unknowingly (theft, embezzlement, even homicide), the intent of the criminal having no bearing on their guilt or not. In these cases the experience of the victim bears strongly on the case: the person who's car was stolen, the company who's funds were embezzled or the (deceased) victim of negligent homicide. The speaker is saying that courts do not weight victims' experiences appropriately, if at all, in rape cases.
This duplication of communication confuses me. At which employer is the work pace slow enough to have so much face time? And how do you handle this with your remote coworkers, or those on completely different shifts?
I believe the biggest reason for HTTP is that firewalls let it through.
> "When advocating for rape victims, who are severely disadvantaged in these situations"

Curious if you have a way to back up the claim the accusers are severely disadvantaged?
Based on how it is at Stanford and many universities in the US, the system is certainly stacked in the accuser's favor. See, for example: https://www.thefire.org/stanford-trains-student-jurors-that-.... This leads to terrible mistakes, Joe Lonsdale comes to mind (it was since reversed, but the damage is likely done by then).

Edit: to downvoters, care to explain why..?
If they stayed in the right lane it wouldn't be too much of a problem. The problem with trucks vs cars I run into most today is trucks passing other trucks in the left lane, or middle lanes on 3- or 4-lane highways. A convoy isn't the same thing as three trucks abreast, though.

Here's something that has been in the back of my mind for some time. It's not 100% reliable, nor is it adequately tested but it's a thought:

When I start a conversation, when I am the initiator in the exchange, I use my favourite mean of communication (email or whatever). When I receive a message I go along the sender's favourite mean of communication.
A very interesting map, but:

"The prominence of truck drivers is partly due to the way the government categorizes jobs. It lumps together all truck drivers and delivery people, creating a very large category. Other jobs are split more finely; for example, primary school teachers and secondary school teachers are in separate categories."

... I really wish they'd collapsed some of those categories, could have been even more revealing.

I feel like Inbox Zero is mostly for people that receive massive quantities of email that they also have to act on.

For people like me who mostly receive updates and notifications via email and only occasionally receive actionable content through email it doesn't make sense to have some sort of superset of methods on top of what my email software already provides.

I read the stuff that's interesting to me, I pin things I need to take care of later or remember (I use Inbox), I reply to things that need replying to which typically only happens a handful of times per week, and that's that.

If I ever get to the point where I am pinning several emails per week and find that I have to act or reply on more than the handful of emails per week that I already do I will consider a method for staying on top of my inbox but until then the built-in tools already do it well enough for me.

Also I would start by looking into the tools themselves to see how they could help me, rather than inventing a set of rules for how to use my inbox. Filtering, bundles in Inbox, etc.

But hey, to each their own. I would get stressed out with an Inbox Zero mindset.
You can't "unknowingly" commit theft (intent to dishonestly permanently deprive), emezzlement (intent to deceive) or murder (intent to unlawfully kill someone).
A minor addition: to use 'localhost' in beta 8 you may need to also run the internal debug command:

pinata set native/port-forwarding true

In previous betas this setting was implied by "VPN compatibility" mode, but in beta 8 it was made an independent setting.

In beta 9 using localhost will be the default -- as avsm says we've been iterating on the network configuration trying to find the most compatible / least surprising defaults. Hopefully after beta 9 it will be stable on "localhost".
> If that is true, and that is what I would expect, and we've minimized the risk of cache poisoning by using a localhost cache exlcusively (no third party caches), then why use DNSSEC?

How have you authenticated that your ISP isn't intercepting DNS requests and serving them out of their own cache that lies?
No idea, but I do know that the PGI group has had a working CUDA Fortran compiler since 2013:

http://www.pgroup.com/doc/pgicudaforug.pdf

One could take one's Fortran code and simply recompile it with their compiler to run on the Nvidia GPU's. The compiler would perform automatic parallelization. Wild stuff.
The CPU gets progressively expensive; and yes, more than 8 cores will probably blow the $4k budget. However, two things to note:

1) High-end i7 and Xeon with the same core count hover around the same price. However, Xeon are not made for overclocking whereas the i7 can be overclocked (easily).

2) The application they used for benchmarking relies on high CPU speed. Normally what you find is the more cores a CPU has, the lower their clock speed (I assume to keep it within the TDP).

Also, CPU is all but one price component in a Xeon system:

- The base motherboard would cost the same to a high-end consumer motherboard. If you're looking for dual-CPU motherboard it will cost almost twice as much.

- (Most) Xeon systems will require ECC RAM, which is more expensive than the regular RAM.
It may be obvious (i.e. general networking effects), but what dynamic let c) give you work and freedom? Please elaborate.

As a coder who really dread interacting with people (especially non-technical people) in the context of work, I'd like to know how this advice would change my life.
Don't put it all in nostalgia. The Internet you're talking about simply doesn't exist anymore and can't be compared directly to the one we use today.
Is Big Data Getting Too Big?
In 1997 I was finishing high school, and about to commence undergraduate studies. I was "interested" in computing and Linux had passed 2.0 and was well on its way to entering the main stream. I remember obtaining a copy of redhat from my local library and a few very significant threads of my career to date commenced.

Java is also a child of the nineties and 1.1 I believe was the first arguably "finished" implementation. I remember the computer magazines were going off on about it at the time and I got a free Java IDE off a cover disk and wrote my first 2D canvas app.

These were the two main "galaxies" I inhabited for the last 20 years with various holidays here and there. The benefit of inhabiting such relatively "open" galaxies is that they provide easily accessible conduits to other galaxies too.

Thanks for the 90s nostalgia - very nearly brought a tear to my eye.
Tricking idlers into becoming CS-badasses
Could you elaborate how 'we need to understand context' means reducing issues to 'you need to listen to one side' is acceptable? Saying we need to 'try and understand' seems like you're saying that unless we consider things from one side we don't have any empathy at all.
Customer service at FlipKart has really gone downhill.

The last couple of times I've reported incorrect listings on FlipKart for books (wrong cover image or wrong author name) I've actually been told "sorry, we can't help you with this."
It does not use /etc/exports. We do not change any generic OSX config.
How to Develop the Right Features with Limited Resources
Those are all protected classes under the law, so it doesn't hold up. It's the "and is probably a rapist" (or more likely to be than the average student) (according to the university's tribunal) which is the important part.

"Is probably gay", "is probably transgendered", "is probably a jew" and "is probably disabled" are not analogous and I hope I don't have to explain why.
Also - CSS tricks don't work if you're writing command line tools or backend code in JS.
Flipkart was good, much better than alternatives. Nowadays I avoid it just because they wouldn't let me browse their website on mobile and at one point their entire desktop website was covered with "Download our app!". They even went so far as to show higher prices on the website than the app. Businesses should think 10x before forcing their will on consumers, specially if it makes no sense for the consumer.

On the other hand, I do find Flipkart to be a better organized marketplace for smartphones. You can filter by manufacturer, OS, price, color, storage, everything. Also, you get all variants of a phone on the same page. Amazon shows 5 different listings of the same phone, with different color and storage options, which is IMO lame.
> less-confident employees will use it.

Given that the Dunning-Kruger effect has two parts (incompetent people overestimate themselves AND competent people underestimate themselves) this looks like a plus: You get a chance to hire people which are competent but aren't confident in their own competence and wouldn't apply if not for the team.
Official support should coming soon...ish. A week ago:

If it is really possible to learn one language each year, and read six books, I'm going to be very impressed with that. Especially considering side projects you actually start in some language, frameworks (which are not the same as languages, obviously), and conceptual things which are language-agnostic. And then comes family, home maintenance and, just sometimes, rest :-) .
Don't you mean fortunately? :)
