I think plenty of people agree that Traditional Gender Roles cause problems for men and women who don't conform to them. But not everyone agrees that Traditional Genders Roles should be called "the patriarchy", because that has connotations that men (even the men being hurt by Traditional Gender Roles) are in control, which feels like blaming the victim.

Is this really that much different from any other industry though?

The system in the story is clearly insane, but every organization (not just software companies) has it's own operational awkwardness, that might look weird for new employees.

Imagine that Google has all their code in a single repository. How "insane" is that?

My point is I don't see why is it a hard requirement for a new developer to be able to commit code on day 1. Of course if you have hundreds of developers, it makes sense to optimize the process, but personally I would prefer a new college to walk me through things (apprenticeship style) rather than throw me at a repo and go-figure-it-out.
Most of the programming work we do is corresponding to the 3rd stage(solving) from the article, right? It seems so.

No way.
As a former life scientist, I completely agree.

If something truly revolutionary is published and it's relevant to your own work, it's very common to repeat the experiment yourself. If it works, great, continue on with your own work and reference the original paper when you publish new results.

If it doesn't work, the outcome can range from: (1) mentally note and move onto an alternative if they are available to (2) spend a ton of time trying to "fix" it, including contacting the original author.

The only time you see reproducibility experiments published is if the original paper made some serious errors, including outright fraud.

An there is no way you'd be able to test the reproducibility of every paper because some papers aren't that important. The important ones get the attention and if you see multiple scientists referencing a work (and building off of it), you can have confidence it actually works.
The style of this diff is bewildering. What's with the gratuitous reformatting of the whitespace? Makes it difficult for the reader to pick out the meaningful difference.
Someone on reddit told me the Gulen movement was comparable to Scientology in the eyes of the Turks. I didn't have more details, your comment is clearer. Thanks.

What do you think about press being cleaned ? in the west it's seen negatively obviously, but is there other details that may explain, like in the Gulen movement case, the decision ?

Who's doing the coding now? How does it feel to you if you have to "outsource" it and pay for every small bugfix?

I'm asking because on the one hand, I enjoy coding. On the other hand, it might make sense to work ON the business, not IN the business in the future.

It's also something that can accidentally happen as a cargo cult when you don't quite realize you hired a single very senior programmer and lots of very junior programmers without much of a middle ground or experience spectrum. That's a relatively easy trap for a company to fall into, especially early on, because it can be cheaper and easier to hire more junior programmers faster (ie, grads right out of college) rather than try to structure around a less steep gradient.
GA would probably be a more appropriate description.
Eh, all things considered, the coup seems very badly organized in retrospect. Not nearly enough support from the army and therefore doomed to fail.

This is my final note (and I am not downvoting you, fyi) but you said "implement the ideal approach". Magic?

Let's see the code. I checked your github repo and can't find this "implementation".
I gather that this sort of thing happens a lot because the bureaucracy around getting IT to set up a subdomain is so onerous that it becomes easier to just buy a new domain and set it up independently.
I tend not to use CDNs as I feel they could hypothetically allow to track anyone on any website and they could be used to provide backdoors in my apps (hypothetical example: Trump gets elected and decides all the jquery.min.js files sent to Canada via US CDNs have to include something that breaks Canadian apps, then my code stops working). I like to have all my libraries on my server.

It would be awesome if something existed to use this tool while ensuring users do not modify the files

Maybe some people think they're a little complex, but there's nothing particularly wrong with them in Haskell. They can be extended further in a dependently-typed context, but that's really another thing completely.
Is there a way to incentivize smaller companies to take these risks (relative to the scale of the company and assuming you have the manpower)?
I've been meaning to watch this show, but haven't yet gotten around to it. But, having just watched the title song video, I absolutely agree with the music aspect. I just recently saw the movie It Follows an 80's-influenced horror/suspense movie from 2014, and it has a lot of the same aspects as what I saw in the trailer, especially with the music. I'd recommend it to anyone based on the music alone, but as far as horror movies go (I'm usually not a fan) it was brilliant.
They've been experimenting[1] with exposing Google Cloud Platform APIs over gRPC (which is powered by proto3), so it seems quite likely.

I also meant that either way, I would not grant a end user the possibility to modify the data structure, be it through the modification of the schema, or through the addition of an EAV definition.

Granted one is more dangerous than the other, but to me it's no reason to give them access. It's still a headache.

If only the developers have access to modify the structure, the way it is done is not important (it can be done through a webform that alters a database, though the addition of a json definition, through coding, etc.) After all, you can modify the schema through PHPMyAdmin. It's some kind of admin interface. You just don't grant your users the right to do it. Just as you don't grant them the right to add custom fields, unless they know what they are doing, which is seldom the case :)

I think that EAV gives a false sense of security, in that it does not "break" much if done by a non-knowledgable user. But still, if it is done badly, good luck reconciling the data.
I think, what the next GPL needs is too use of the long breath of the free software movement.
I mean, the ability of a GPL Project to be used in closed-source and after a given time frame (5 years) the whole resulting code-base must be re-released into open source.

Many software products contain GPL-Licensend content, and these "quick-and-dirty" predecessor-software is abandoned once the producer reaches a certain "Lets-Refactor-it-out" success.
The GPL could become a breaker of the infinite copyright and a driver of inventions, while at the same time providing the major advantages closed source holds for a limited time.
Its not repetition for its own sake. Its for the sake of good science.

I find many who are against repetition have certain views that are helped by soft science.
I am a bit surprised to see Singapore so low on the list. I wonder if they count all the small bookstores in shopping plazas? The last time I lived there (early 90's), there were a ton of micro-bookstores like this: http://friendlybooking.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Orchar...
Yes I agree that we don't know what the people who ticked the 'leave' box actually voted for.

The Westminster parliament(1) will now arrive at a series of policies to embody that choice and those policies will have to be negotiated through a long and complex process with the various EU institutions concerned. What emerges from that process will probably not fit anyone's conception of what they were voting for. As a (marginal, 5.5/10) remain voter, I would be inclined to point out that if you vote for radical change, radical change is what you get!

I'm pretty sure that the Westminster government(1) will seek a mandate for their choice through a general election.

(1) I'm referring to the Westminster parliament and government here as there are of course huge issues with the position of Scotland (which voted very heavily in favour of 'remain') and of Northern Ireland (which also voted less heavily in favour of remain, and which also has the added complexity arising from the Ulster Agreement, and the Ireland Act / Common Travel Area). The devolved assemblies in Scotland/NI will be fighting their corner and trying to see what they can get. Not sure about Gibraltar yet.

I assume by arguing the personal liberty cost of emissions outweighs the personal liberty gained by tax reduction.
Information (in the form of text) is tiny and cheap. The main use case for this has to be videos and other medias.

All I can think of is high resolution porn which is currently not cost effective to be purely ad driven. Or hosting illegal videos/music that you can't really make enough real money off of to pay for server costs.

But definitely not for "distributing web apps" like the author mentioned unless your js is so bloat it is tens of MBs.
I know I made the original "dwindling funding" claim, but it's actually a red herring. I should have said something like "increasingly competitive nature of grants". The argument relevant to this article is NOT about whether there's enough funding for science. Rather, the argument is about how difficult it is to get funding. I think it's fairly uncontroversial (and correct) to say that getting good science funded has become considerably harder over the years. I'm not sure anyone has done the work of trying to quantify that; maybe someone else can help find data for that.

But to address your question anyways:

1. USFG scientific funding instutitions are only one source of science funding. There are many others. If you look across the federal government, there's a downward trend: http://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/DefNon%3B.jpg

One must also take into account non-federal-governemnt sources, which in many cases have substantially decreased their investments in R&D since 2008.

2. As pcnt of GDP there's been a steady decline: http://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/RDGDP%3B.jpg

3. From an impact-on-culture perspective -- which is the relevant one in my comment -- I think (2) is more intresting than your data and also more interesting than (1). The question should be "how difficult is it to fund good science", not "how much are spending in absolute or relative terms". This is, of course, very difficult to quantify. But looking at percentage of GDP is at least better than looking at absolute dollars.
Give us an example of something you are an expert in, and we can submit our most shallow tedious questions.

It should be fun!
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I was suggesting doing all of this at build time, not runtime.

Oh wait does this all get serialized to disk every time you exit emacs? Is that what I'm missing? If so, why not run the linker at emacs exit time, to optimize the loading sequence?
The Lisp Machine keyboard had dedicated open and close parenthesis keys, so you could hold a hefty bag of nitrous oxide in your other hand while you typed s-expressions.
Start asking questions right away. Just do it from a perspective of "I don't understand this" rather than "you didn't think of this."

I am not saying that experts are infallible or that we should consider them as such. I'm just saying that when you've spent five minutes coming up with a problem in a scientific paper that has years of work behind it, your quest for information should reflect the likely possibility that the wrongness is on your end.

Edit: note that there is no question in the original post I object to. I'm definitely not criticizing questions. If anything, I'm criticizing not asking questions.
I use non temporal stores all the time when writing database related code.
My personal theory is that a death penalty applied selectively will be a sweet way to get rid of people who know too much (generals etc), while looking magnanimous for pardoning everyone else.
This is a good argument.

It is also a basic economic argument about a market externality.

I am not sure you even need to characterize it as a libertarian argument.
It's extraordinary how often I have to point out that what someone is proposing is either called a "database" (to people who think it's a good idea to build a complicated file system complete with various metadata files) or a "programming language" (to the people who think it would be helpful to have some language which can logically encode business rules in a computationally understandable manner).
This isn't real right? It's just a made up story to scare, right??
I like the strangeness of the situation. If private company does A, it's not about free speech because that's a government thing. If private company does B, look at this company protecting our free speech!

I wish as a society we can make up our minds on this.
Thanks for the reply. I've been easing my way in with just 30sec on, 30 sec off for 5 minutes a day. I did two sets on day, and had to get up early the next day and was wiped out.

Good to hear your experience!
Serializing data for RPC, network protocols or storage, description and serialization of configuration, serializable state, serializing complex types for cryptographic signing, etc.

Why is it useful? The schema both documents the data structure and allows mappings to natural APIs in many different languages. Parsers and encoders are generated for you, and are fast.
As an FYI, GRPC support was added to flatbuffers a month ago. https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/tree/master/grpc

In the last interview they are talking about releasing in about a year. Their hope is to have 80% of the country wearing it by 2020. They want to be the next Apple. I think they mentioned that they are currently debugging the production line.
More like Elon Musk points out by example why libertarianism is an oxymoron. As soon as all restrictions are lifted on businesses and a totally "free" market is created, business interests move to enact new regulations that entrench their positions.
You have no idea if you're right or if this conclusion is actually correct. If the conclusion is wrong, you have no idea if it's wrong because of the problem you posted, or if it's wrong because of something completely different.

Virtually all science is wrong in some respect. You can get a great batting average by just saying "no, wrong" to everything you see. That doesn't make it useful, nor does it make your reasons for saying "wrong" correct.
Lessons don't need to be 1:1 to be tuned up/down to the learner. For example, check out oppia.org, which has a range of lessons which students can take themselves without supervision.

They learn by answering questions, and the flow changes depending on their answers. Like an robot teacher using the socratic method.

I don't think "some experts" nor "plural cyclists" is the most reasonable interpretation.

If I write "Black lives matter", it is not understood to mean that at least 2 lives matter (even though that's a perfectly valid, literal reading of the phrase).
You can tell they're a genius when only a genius could have concocted something so complicated and convoluted and still make it work. I seriously don't doubt that Tom had an off the chart IQ, but intelligence doesn't automatically lead to sensibleness.

1. You can't use standard UI automation test tools on it (easily).

3. Its easy to get started coding with it, but quickly turns in to spaghetti filled with glass shards when you try to do advanced things with the controls.
Yes, exactly. I'm not saying they're right, I just find it crazy to come up with an obvious objection and present it as "this is wrong" rather than "how did they overcome this?"

It's one of those stories that might be fake but still ring true. I know I've been there, on both sides (to some degree), so I can relate.
EPOC was designed for far less capable hardware than even pre-iPhone smartphones. It allowed for a lot of capability on those early Psion devices. But in modern hardware it was too fiddly and too alien (non-standard C++).

Microsoft always understood the consequences of Moore's law. Palm killed them early on because Windows Mobile was just too much OS for those early devices. But as hardware improved, Palm was left with a less capable OS and Microsoft was ready. What they weren't ready for was Apple porting their desktop OS to mobile.

For every borrower, there is a lender.

Was it not the case that banks in Northern Europe saw an opportunity (common currency, diverse interest rates, and countries with historically very low personal borrowing) and went for it?
"Reconciling" the data isn't my job; the user can use the custom fields for whatever they want.

If a person has posted a completely bogus bad review, I, as the maligned merchant, have three choices. I can ignore it. I can post a response. I can sue the person.

I think it is quite reasonable for Yelp to note when merchants use the third option. As a consumer reading reviews, I learn slightly different things when I see:

A: Three good reviews and one bad review; the merchant responded to the bad review and their response sounds well-reasoned.

B. Three good reviews (one deleted review, but I can't see that) and one note from Yelp stating that the merchant has used the legal system to suppress reviews.

I do think it is important that since Yelp (not a customer) is making the statement that the legal threat was used, that Yelp take reasonable steps to ensure the legal threat actually occurred. Otherwise, a malicious user could falsely report receiving legal threats from a business as a way to harm their reputation.
What I don't understand about reactions to Greece's profligate borrowing is that I rarely see criticisms of the lender. Borrowing is a 2 party interaction and both parties bear responsibility. The so called bailouts of Greece have been nothing more than bailouts of German and French banks. All the while putting the suffering on Greeks and not anyone else. The best option for Greece would have been to leave the EU in 2008.
I suppose I should remind you, then, that the up-thread comment we're responding to was written in the context of a physics experiment.

And I'm about as far from "soft sciences" as you can get.
I'm afraid there really isn't another way around. This stuff is just very difficult. If you want to understand the standard model you need to understand Quantum Field Theory, and to understand Quantum Field Theory you need to understand Quantum Mechanics, and to understand that you need to understand classical hamiltonian and lagrangian mechanics, etc etc, and to understand all that you need lots of mathematical notions, so... There really isn't a fast way but to study the standard texts.
Normally, yes, but it's quite possible for another department to go out and do it themselves. Corporate policies might not forbid it, or the other department might not care about breaking policy. All you need to set up a new domain is a credit card and a web browser, after all.

I disagree; leaving the EU is a perfectly well-defined action/goal, which isn't particularly difficult to achieve (we'll be out of the EU at most 2 years after invoking article 50). The referendum result was in favour of leaving the EU, so that's what should happen in order to maintain any semblance of democracy.

There is certainly a huge space of possible strategies to take, but that's always the case with any political action. The UK government is elected to take such decisions on our behalf, with various oversight/transparency/legal conditions attached, so that's what should happen. I don't see how this is any different from a goal like "increase Britain's GDP"; there are many ways to do it, huge levels of disagreement, the elected government will choose a strategy they think is best for themselves. The threat of regular elections is designed to align the government's selfish choice more closely with that of the people; universal education is designed to align the choice of the people more closely with the will of the people.
