The movie looks really bad but as someone who saw the movie, it's actually pretty good and funny. The quatuor works perfectly, there is no feminism message at all, it's just a good comedy.

Maybe it won't be your type of humor, but this is not a bad movie in any way. People are just rating the movie without seeing it, which is pretty stupid in the first place. Because of that I expect the score to be much higher, hopefully a lot of people won't listen to the haters and see for themselves.

Ratings (for movies or whatever) are not broken, they just are a limited model of appreciation by a cohort. All statistical models have their limits, that does not make them «broken», just somewhat inaccurate (ie. with varying levels of accuracy).

Wireless input devices usually talk in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands of wifi. They are allowed to, since the spectrum is basically open for anything (AFAIK) but they effectively jam wifi when in use. So this is intentional while the USB3.0 cables jamming wifi seems unintentional.
When I saw the new Ghostbusters trailer in the cinema (yes, I still go there), I thought it was a parody film. I'm not kidding.

Nowadays, people always try to find ways to be offended. A women-led movie got bad ratings? It must be the patriarchy!
Nobody wonders if it might have been just a bad movie, as I, as a man, also enjoy women-led movies (I mean movies in the cinemas, not what you think :P). Hoewever, the new Ghostbusters just looks like a big horrible painful joke, and that's why the ratings tanked.

Given it's so hard to even assess statistically, how many men are among movie raters, this entire article stands on weak feet.

I did this in the UK and it felt like a huge deal. I wasn't yet a developer at the time, but I think my experience is still relevant. It seemed to really have an impact on interviews. The interviewer would end up asking a lot of questions about why I left the previous job (it was for quite innocent reasons), rather than the stuff I really wanted to be talking about, which puts the whole thing on a downer from the start. It affected me a lot, which meant I started to become very nervous before interviews, so performed badly, got even more nervous, etc. I pretty much have a phobia of interviews to this day (almost 10 years later) because of it.

I think the answer to the original question depends enormously on what type of person you are. If you're extremely confident in yourself, and in your skills, and you're naturally positive and optimistic then you should be fine.

If you have the sort of personality that tends towards introspection and self-doubt, then think very carefully before doing this. Think about how you'll feel after your 10th rejection, or when your savings are starting to run low. Will you still bounce back?

Finally, I've heard that some recruiters use your current employment status as a filtering criterion. So your CV might not even get looked at. This is insane, but I've heard it enough times to think it might be true.

It's not really along the lines of IDE, tools, etc., but one thing that's been helpful for me is to bounce ideas off of someone, even if you're trying to remember something, and the act of explaining or working through my thought processes helps me pieces together "mental puzzles". This is also known as rubber duck debugging.

I've had multiple instances of talking to a coworker about a topic, and halfway through the topic I realize what I was going for and cut it off, saying, "I got it! Thanks for being my rubber duck."
MAC as a cloud storage device
I would be interested why C++ was chosen for https://github.com/dropbox/lepton instead of Rust?

Given the recent usage of Rust for the implementation of Brotli compression (https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2016/06/lossless-compression-...) and that it's used for data storage (http://www.wired.com/2016/03/epic-story-dropboxs-exodus-amaz...) this somewhat surprises me.

The reasons given for Rust as stated in https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2016/06/lossless-compression-... would seem valid here too:
> For Dropbox, any decompressor must exhibit three properties:
>
> 1. it must be safe and secure, even against bytes crafted by modified or hostile clients,
> 2. it must be deterministic—the same bytes must result in the same output,
> 3. it must be fast.
I can not confirm this experience at all.
I won't argue that an average score on its own doesn't provide you with information about the diversity of opinion that led to that average, I'm sure we could do better in this regard. Perhaps something like Amazon does with the graphical representation showing how many people gave each star rating on a product review.

What I do have two problems with is the framing of this article when it comes to the new Ghostbusters film. This quote is a useful starting point for looking at those problems:

"More specifically, a vocal portion of men on the internet — shall we say — go out of their way to make their voices heard when it comes to judging entertainment aimed at women"

First of all, is the new Ghostbusters film meant to be aimed at women? If you look at it at a superficial level perhaps. To me, when you take on a beloved film franchise, you should make something that stays true to the spirit of the earlier films. The earlier Ghostbusters films have appeal across the board, why can't the new film have the same?

Secondly, the issue people are having with the Ghostbusters reboot is not really because all the new Ghostbusters are female. I, for one, think it was a good idea to do so, as it provided something new, and could have helped it to break from conventions whilst still providing something recognisable as a Ghostbusters film. The main problem people have with the film (and yes, they are just basing it on trailers at this point), is that it appears to be a generic, formulaic comedy with Ghostbusters dressing. For example, with the 'sassy black lady' Ghostbuster, the vast majority of the backlash isn't because she's a woman, the majority of the backlash is because she's playing a hackneyed stereotype. There were other parts of the trailers that were similarly paint-by-numbers Hollywood comedy.

Perhaps the trailers did the film a great disservice and there are better moments to be found in the film itself, but early impressions are not too great IMO.

The reason we (as a society) inflate currencies is because of "sticky wages". People are loss averse and react much worse to a 5% pay cut than positively to a 5% pay rise.

Because of this, businesses needing to adjust downwards because of competition/technology/market changes can't.

Inflation is a solution to this problem
The word "destroy" is pretty subjective and loaded. Sure, some nations have less than spectacular track records when it comes to being a good citizen of our planet, but nobody is intentionally "nuking" large swaths of land and resources for the sheer thrill of destruction either.

Instead, we're building skyscrapers and reaping the benefits of modernization through technological progress.

I'm sure one can find "beauty" in the paleolithic era as well, but if you were suddenly stuck living there, you'd find that free wifi is one of the last creature comforts you'd end up missing.

I don't buy that Ghostbusters success will hinge on the gender of the lead actors - the leads in the new film have a lot to live up to in Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray.

Really? You haven't seen any original stories in films after 1991?

A sandbox like NaCl doesn't depend on the kernel for security. In fact, it shields the kernel, which is good, because common OS kernels tend to have large attack surfaces of their own. The compiler of the sandbox needs to be reliable (so like CompCert, until Rust matures in this regard), but the compiler(s) of the software inside the sandbox don't matter.

You're right that stuffing all of Chromium into a single sandbox would not be very good, because pages would be able to attack the browser (history, passwords, etc) and each other. You'd want to run each renderer in its own sandbox (which to some extent Chrome already does).

This is mostly covered in the article, but anyway:

I see a few overlapping effects here:

1) Aggregators like Tomatometer rank based on broad appeal. That's why Toy Story is one of the highest scored of all time (if you don't like Toy Story, you're dead inside), and Fight Club can be beloved to many but still not A grade.

2) Audiences are slowly getting tired of cynical reboots. Sure, I understand the harsh reality that means Hollywood has to play as risk averse as possible, and that recycling beloved IP has slightly-better-than break even results on average, but you can't expect movie watchers to gush over story retreads.

3) Yes, the loudest and most obnoxious voices on the internet are also the ones who will go to the most trouble to tank your reviews. This is not specific to movies. The fact that men are doing this for Ghostbusters does not reveal an inherent misogyny overall, just that said mysoginistic neckbeards are more likely to invest their time in trolling the internet (the 4chan effect).

I have no trouble with an all female lead cast. I just wish they didn't waste all that potential on such a crappy regurgitation.

Wireless mice usually don't talk very much. Mine runs for about a year on a single battery (the spec says up to 18 months). That's MUCH too little power to be able to effectively jam anyone's wifi.

Reduce its capacity by a small fraction while the mouse is moving, yes, effectively jam, no way. That would need much more power than a wireless mouse has.

The fact that fusion is not ready yet might be a good thing. We still don't realize how precious our remaining fossil fuel reserves are, and we'd probably squander the energy that fusion provides.

I've always said that fusion won't save us from the coming global energy crisis, because it's coming too soon. Maybe that's good; we'll learn to appreciate it when we have it.

The argument of the article seems to be that meta-ratings sites don't handle that class of movie well, more than it is claiming that "men are misogynistic and hate any media aimed at women".

To some extent it's the nature of a polarising topic. It's just that when it's a male/female split, it's easier to detect and analyse, so it's easy to build an article around.

The argument here is when men post internet reviews of "female oriented films", they tend to be far more critical than women are of "male oriented films". And in this case at least, (based on people who probably haven't seen the movie) men are more likely to post negative reviews of "female movies" than women are to post positive reviews.

So, to use your example, Internet meta-scores for rom-coms are not very helpful. Sure, if your fiancee wants to see one, you can work out how much you're going to hate it based on how badly other men reviewed it, but if she wants to go see one with her sister, then the internet scores tell her almost nothing. She really wants to know "do people who normally like rom-coms like this movie?" but she gets to see a relatively meaningless "5 out of 10" (based on 10 women averaging 9/10, and 20 men averaging 3/10)

Yeap, the one with most stars. I was thinking of getting most forks if say multiple repos with exact same number of stars, but I guess I was lazy.
Initial implementation speed is one of the least important parameters in software engineering. Senior engineers are generally a bit slower but produce higher quality code.

It's MUCH better to have an engineer which takes 3 days to implement a feature in such a way that it doesn't need to be revised/fixed again for at least 1 year than to have an engineer which takes 4 hours to build that same feature but in such a way that the feature has to be revised 10 times by 5 different engineers within the course of the year.

The second approach actually consumes much more time in the medium and long term. By putting too much pressure on engineers to implement features quickly, you encourage them to create technical debt which another engineer will have to deal with later.

It's basically a blame-shifting strategy.
I'm just not sure that those layers are actually functional. I see little reason why things couldn't be more like AWS if there were standardized ways to e.g. configure things. A lot that one deals with is glue between the turtles and not necessarily the other turtle.
I'm building something similar for Romania: http://www.it-events.ro/ (very early stage ATM).
I'm skeptical. Biodiversity, like cute animals, seems like one of those things that's emotionally appealing but may not be important beyond that. That's why scientists use terms like "ecological roulette" and ambiguous statements about how biodiversity actually affects the world and us.

If people genuinely cared about the welfare of animals, they'd have to accept uncomfortable truths like the fact that wild animals suffer immensely, and that nature itself is cruel. In many cases it may actually be beneficial from an utilitarian perspective to have some species die off. Being infested with painful or mind-controlling parasites, and being slowly gnawed to death are ordinary events for wild animals. They suffer some of the worst fates on this planet.

In some cases, like mosquitoes and malaria, killing off species might be the most heroic and useful action in the history of Earth.

Yes. and Im one of those men. Maybe, just maybe STOP marketing those 'women shows' to men?

This is what most 'movies and shows aimed at women' do, because they just cant let of the male market $$.

Tutorials don't cover things like corner cases, and they neglect nearly every aspect of designing and integrating a large system, particularly scaling it. Some of the worst code I've ever seen was "tutorial code."

I've encountered concurrency challenges in my day-to-day work that have no cookie cutter solutions, are specific to my application (particularly in constraints and requirements), and I haven't even been able to fully convince myself of the correctness of my own solution, let alone contrive a way of systematically proving or even testing it.

On the other hand, programmers faced with solving technical challenges such as optimizing and approximating in the face of limited resource, where heuristics and intuition only discovered and learned through experience and trial-and-error (pattern building and "finding" at its best). These meta "design patterns" aren't found in any books yet, especially because they are pretty hard to articulate using the English language.

There is an inventive element to the sort of problem solving that good programmers perform that goes well beyond pasting solutions from StackOverflow. This is why duct tape and bubble gum cobbling of out-of-the-box solutions rarely works in practice (and why good engineers are paid so well). Clever hacks are actually pretty damn clever.

It's scary how many "best practices" I've only learned through building my own production systems and having actual users test what I've coded -- having already done a fair deal of sitting in classrooms being inundated with CS theory from the very minds who conceived it -- even years of building pet projects of my own haven't prepped me for the challenges I am encountering now.
