Yup, and there is a difference between "Chinese nationality" and "Chinese culture/civilization."

The Taiwanese still consider themselves a part of Chinese culture, in fact, they actually feel that they are the true "practitioners" of Chinese culture because the Mainland Chinese went through the Cultural Revolution.

> kinda how we think Canadians are basically Americans

I think an even closer analogy would be between American Northerners vs. Southerners.

As in, after the Civil War each side considers themselves to be "more American."

The best way to explain it is this: If you ask a Taiwanese person to know the greatest works of art "his people" have created "in their history," then he will name works of art created in Mainland China, but authors and artists that lived and died in Mainland China.
Everytime an article like that is posted on Reddit or HN, comments point out that basically, women don't put up as much work as men, which explains their lower salaries. Case closed, not my problem, next thread.

The article gives two factor to explain lower salaries among women. The first one is that they chose less lucrative academic fields. The second one happens when the woman is a mother. Despite the speculation in this thread that it's because the woman spends much time raising her child, the article isn't positive about that, and even suggests another possibility (employers assign different responsibilities and salaries to these women).

Anyway, those are just intermediate explanations. The next step is understanding why women make such choices. While I understand that it's tempting to just imagine that it comes from "natural" differences (whatever that would mean) between men and women on which we have no control, another possibility is sexism in the way we raise boys and girls differently. Let's not close the case until we've ruled out this hypothesis, or solved it if it happens to be true.
Until 50% of the female marrying population want to marry a man who is willing to be the primary caregiver, this is unlikely to change, we are the product of expectations of men to women and women to men.
I think crippling systems is anti-consumer. Ubuntu is an example of an attempt to mitigate the hassle while allowing the user to control their own device. Is it perfect? No, and they have a very diverse audience to please with one offering, but its a more correct approach. Setting sane defaults and removing confusion in configuration is one thing, but that's not what Google is doing. Google limits software to their repo, makes it difficult, unintuitive and scary to opt-out of things (ctrl-d? insta-wipe ! warning on boot), biases all their software and services with no enable-able alternative and tracks absolutely everything. It's like a tricked out feature phone with a keyboard.

I'm all for standard accounts that have strict privilege boundaries, but with ChromeOS, the consumer can't even decide to be a true administrator. No one's saying everyone needs to be a sysadmin, but a user shouldn't have to enable Developer Mode and deal with usability dark patterns if they want to.

Mozilla used to let the consumer decide, but even they require you to run a separate build in order to install software without their blessing: User freedom is one of their core principles. If developer mode features and privacy opt-outs silently disappear from an entrenched ChromeOS, most wouldn't blink.
Just reading the word "jumping around" pisses me off a bit...

But seriously, after 20 years of web development this is what we end up with? Millions and millions of man hours invested in this and the experience is worse than ever.

Somebody should write a "mobile web is a ghetto" rant and then we should start burning all of this down and start over with a fresh list of best practices.

He is placing a huge premium on the novelty of connecting a GPU over Thunderbolt3. I got the impression that the author was completely out of touch with the economics of the situation. When the article wrapped I thought he was completely nuts. Nearly 500 for a GPU CASE? PROBABLY less than 10% hit to performance due to Thunderbolt3?!

I also nearly took offense to this setup being presented as future-proof.

I'll admit it's pretty cool, but until there is a better GPU interconnect and a GPU case that doesn't alone cost more than a very good video card.. I'll stick with the mini-ITX build I'm planning.
if you write a rather insulting article about half of the countries in this world (probably most/all muslim ones, and all non-democratic ones), you can expect they might hit back when you visit again. surprise surprise - they did, and in rather standard (and non-violent) way for these regimes.

it's a ridiculous place, nobody argues about that. most folks have common sense and don't poke a lion in the eye with the stick in his own territory. would you? probably not. then why should I have any sympathy for this guy? he did exactly that, and his surprise when they detained him just shows what I've written - ignorance.

would you go to Iran and write before an article in BBC saying how their officers are idiots barking around? (i loved visiting that place, but common sense is needed, and this guy didn't show much).
I used to write quick blog posts some years ago, and post on social media often, but I never wrote something I considered a professional article because of hesitations like you're expressing: it needs to be 'uniquely insightful', it needs to be 'applicably useful', it needs to be 'well written.'

Then one day I was like 'screw it' and started posting to Medium. I've written ~7 things so far, quick articles, tutorials, or reposting a slideshow I made for other reasons, and they have all been read and been provided recommendations/likes/shares/feedback to some degree. In terms of career growth, it's not been an instant magical boost, but it's more like 'networking' in that it enables people to connect with you, laying groundwork for collaboration in the future.

The thing is, certain people you can reach at a certain time are a unique factor in what drives interest in your writing. Maybe someone didn't see the other github page, but they saw yours. Give it a shot.

There is more to breast-feeding than milk. There is bonding, warmth, strengthening of immune system (which requires a child actually sucking on a nipple to work).
I am sure we will be able to raise a child without any human intervention in not so distant future but it doesn't change the biology. Children wouldn't survive without women in natural settings but can survive without men. While we are able to substitute a lot what women are equipped with using technology it doesn't change the fact that they are better equipped than men.
If it's a time-based contract, then testing and bug-fixing is part of the billable time - it's a normal part of development. The client can decide how much testing and bug-fixing they want, often there is a point where the software is considered good enough to stop spending more expense on it.

For fixed-fee contracts, I usually include testing and bug-fixing in the quoted price, and make sure to include the time spent on that in the estimates. There has to be a sign-off time limit though (for example 1-2 months), during which the client is supposed to test the software to their satisfaction and after which newly discovered bugs are not included - otherwise a project can linger on forever in your schedule.

However with fixed-fee contracts the main difficulty is agreeing on what are bugs, and what are change requests if the initial plan was not detailed enough.
Yep! It angries me that I always have to fight for remote work, but it is not a problem for the teams down the corridor that just outsourced the work somewhere in this universe.

Let's not assume that correlation is causation here. One explanation is that female primary caregivers face systematic discrimination their male peers don't face.

Another is that female primary caregivers, more so than their male counterparts, lose interest in focusing on work after they have a child, and thus fall into the rut of a lower performing employee that inevitably gets paid less.

I don't know which it is. Are their studies that try to find out?
Wow, ya just can't please some people can ya.

Rather than get upset about how corrupt politics can be (and that's putting it mildly), what you're supposed to do is root for the version of corruption that appeals to your tastes.
Yeah, they do check how the sites look on mobile devices. They might also test them under the average 3g data speed, though there are a lot of developers who just use the office wifi and assume it'll work fine everywhere else.
"Women have shown a tendency to favor work life balance over income on average which means if you want to increase female mobility in male dominated jobs you need to increase working conditions for men, like equal entitlements for paternity and maternity leave."

This is very true. Though I'm not sure that any country has equal entitlements for paternity leave... men get less mostly because of the physical difficulty of birth and breastfeeding, but more than is entitled there. It helps if the employer isn't forced to pay for the maternity leave, only keep the job open for when she/he returns. (social benefit). Plus laws that protect parents taking time off for sick children, etc.

In countries where child raising is much more equal between the sexes, however, you still see pay differences tied to career choices. Teachers and nurses (which are often female-dominated) often get paid less than male-dominated career choices with equal education requirements. Even when there is a shortage of nurses and teachers... they still pay less.

And I have no clue what the solution to such things are without simply having a different system to pay folks. For example, some sort of equation that combines experience, amount of education required, stress levels and 'untraditional' worktimes, experience, etc. But I also think this would be pushed against greatly.
It's funny how they say CSS should be optimized, while they use 6 different JS files for particle animation (one for each site + header, the only difference being canvas size, particle count and color)
That was my experience too. We have to understand that the younger middle class is only a generation removed from the Cultural Revolution.

So they hear stories from their grandparents and parents about people starving to death because of the famines.

These things will take time. As the Chinese get more comfortable, those younger people will join the system and change it form within.

Remember that South Korea, Singapore, and even Taiwan were dictatorships that improved their quality of life significantly before they became democracies.
For the first part of your comment I will just say that research does not work like this.

However, that is interesting:

> Maybe it's best to improve the processes. In software we can ship something with a beta label and expect problems. Then we can iterate on the software to improve it.

That's more or less an analogy of what people talking about open peer review are saying, and I think it is quite right.

The rules are always that of the target language, rather than the source language.

> There is more to breast-feeding than milk.

So are you suggesting my children didn't receive as much bonding, warmth, etc, because I fed them breastmilk instead of my wife? If that's the case, they're growing up to be remarkably well-adjusted, happy, and (quite) intelligent children despite that supposed deficiency.

It sounds like you've been exposed to a very certain, very traditional, kind of family situation. Please let me assure you that this is not the only way people raise successful families.

Even breastmilk, while highly recommend when possible, isn't critical for a babies' well-being since it's not possible at all in many cases (mother's health/can't breastfeed, adoption, etc.).

EDIT: Rate limited, my response to ps4fanboy:

> The fact that you were able to take time off to care for your children suggests that you are most probably middle class or better

Ironically, me taking off work to raise the kids brought us surprisingly close to the poverty line (wife's a school teacher). But we decided it was worth it, my wife wanted to return to work, and that I would be a great caregiver. But we're both highly educated, if that was somehow your suggestion.

> this social standing in society is much more likely to be a contributing factor to childrens long term success than breast feeding

Agreed, in general. So we both can agree that breast-feeding, while recommended, is not a critical factor in raising well-adjusted children.
I agree with you! Taiwan is peaceful and Taiwanese people are Taiwanese. And yes Taiwan is different to the areas I mentioned. I also agree that China doesn't really have a reason to invade Taiwan.

Taiwan isn't recognised internationally as a country (not fully). If China did have a reason to invade (not a crazy idea given the history) then the international response may be very lacking.

Either way, China has and does continue to try and make Taiwan powerless as in independent country. Its been fairly successful in this respect.

Lazy-loading (the practice being somewhat criticized here) is actually halfway to that goal. The BBC (cited in this article) also uses a technique they call 'cutting the mustard', which checks which features are available on the browser to determine which JS to run. So bandwidth can be one of the things tested when doing JS-based optimization like this.

I agree that CSS-based responsive design just comes up inadequate when we want real optimization. We have to use JS based methods like deferred/lazy loading, detecting features, bandwidth, etc. (With images you can also have a <noscript> tag that loads the image immediately in no-JS scenarios, but it's difficult to figure out alternatives for lazy-loaded fonts and other things.)

To understand better. Lets take the following deviations from mean in series A&B.

A: 2, 1, 3, 1, 2

B: 4, 1, 2, 1, 1

MAD(A) = 9/5 = 1.8

STD(A) = sqrt(21/5) = sqrt(4.2) = 2.05

MAD(B) = 9/5 = 1.8

STD(B) = sqrt(23/5) = 2.14

So it clearly shows that STD penalizes any significant error. It weights any deviation by itself (Sqare). So the message is all the values in a series should be in a close range. If you look at its applications.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation#Interpretat...

"a small standard deviation indicates that they are clustered closely around the mean"

The answers in this stack exchange (regarding RMSE, same thing, as Taleb also notes), also point to this:
http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/118/why-square-the-...

Also as per this wiki, its mainly used to compare models against each other:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-mean-square_deviation#App...

One comment on HN says that its M is for Median in MAD. Taleb's note itself makes it clear by the temperature example that it is Mean average deviation.

Also, whats with the Taleb bashing on HN in these past two articles. The man may be arrogant or he may be not. So what? Bringing that aspect of someone's personality in technical discussions is bringing them to a very low level, apart from being Ad hominem. I think, even in this post he is speaking from a point of view of a practitioner, who has seen a tool abused a lot. And he may not have all the time to utter out his full knowledge about a subject. Just by that mention of Karl Pearson, it is obvious he knows compeletly what he is talking about, as that person seems to be the first who gave the term 'standard deviation' to 'root mean square error (As per wiki on STD).
This article seems relevant for my situation. A few days ago I released project management software called Wheatbin: http://wheatbin.com. It's my first contribution to Open Source.

The github repo is here: https://github.com/wheatbin/wheatbin

The software works great for my needs, but it would be nice to see Wheatbin evolve through community involvement. I wasn't sure if that happened organically or if there were things I could do to get that started.

Be that as it may, I think the point still stands.

My self and my (now) wife, as a living example, generally try to live close to work. We've rented for 10 years, moved 5 times now, and lived in a 1 bedroom apartment together for 5 of those and try to live without a car. Sacrifices many of our friends simply do not contemplate as "possible" On top of that, I've done my best to learn as much as I can on work's time.

All other things being equal, will the person who makes life choices, be it living out in the burbs, watching TV, having children earlier, partying or drinking, etc etc, be top developers, relative to me/us?

No. In fact, I can squeeze in hobby/health that takes place with the time/money (albeit not one that uses space) savings afforded by these sacrifices and still compete with them, and the synergies afforded will still probably put me ahead.

Now there are some people, perhaps those with rich parents who gave them access to computers earlier than me, buying them big spatious houses adjacent to where they work, with all the right connections and contacts who can probably out-compete...and as hard as this is to admit, probably out-ability me, but that's life, and that's reality.

But the other reality, in addition, is developer wages and conditions, ESPECIALLY in the US, are rediculously/obscenely high at the moment, and I'm well aware that there are people below me in terms of living conditions who are probably even hungrier for those positions than myself.

Could you be a "top developer" without putting in the extra hours that the top developers do? Either because you love it or because you're making a strategic decision to do so?

All other things being equal, I don't think so.

And if you DO, i think its probably because its due to being in a social structure that pretty much thumbs its nose at even trying to live up to the ideal of a meritocracy...

Neglect is a loaded word. Children don't need hard working parents who earn lots of money though. What children need is your love and your time, along with support, security, food etc. It's all about having a work life balance, usually working hard comes at the expense of your family.
You cant have free market where jobs are paid based on profit and a system that treats people equally. The reality is your examples are incredibly unionized jobs (teachers/nurses etc), these sorts of jobs tend have more normalized rates of income regardless of ability or performance, they also tend to have the best non monetary benefits. From my own experiences and observations I would say as income increases non monetary benefits decrease.

It's important to realize the why for all this. Every site wants to be lean and fast, but they arent because it's ultimately a trade-off between the time, effort and talent available.

Even the BBC which has enough funding and a good tech staff is likely working with some bloated content management system that automatically generates overweight pages. Add in all the ads and other widget functionality, media and various customizations and themes and this is what we end up with.

There won't be any major progress until there's a big cause to prioritize this (as in a major loss of traffic or revenue) or there are tools that will automatically reformat and optimize pages (certain CDNs are getting into this heavily now).
