Let me respectfully suggest that if you wish to be part of the solution instead of paet of the problem, you go thoughtfully engage some of the comments made here by people self identifying as female instead of arguing with a man in this way. Your arguments here are part of the problem because it promotes a "what about da menz" environment while also giving the man you are arguing with reason to dig in his heels. This is likely yo make his position more entrenchedcrather than less.

And, in theory, if I had any sense, I would probably be doing this as a blog post rather than as a reply to you, which risks being experienced by you as an attack. But, in practice, being too careful seems to amount to being ineffectual.

Considering that we might actually go extinct being pro that is a like the ultimate crime against humanity. Not to mention the countries already being heavily impacted by it, its almost an act of war by the developed nations against those countries considering we have known the impact since the 1970's and almost all countries (except the USA and China) agreed how to deal with it in the Kyoto agreement, which USA opted out of and all but collapsed efforts to deal with man made climate change.

Lets not be coy, we face our extinction and to say you are pro makes you genuinely a mad man maniac.

From the article it seems to be via executable. That's why the terminology is important in this case. It's a executable rootkit that opens a backdoor, not a OS remote execution exploit.

> "still have more applicants than jobs"

This is true for a lot of companies - but there's only a surplus of labor if the applicants are qualified.

For a company to be able to be frivolous with their process, they'd need to have more qualified applicants than jobs, and I think even for many name-brand BigCorps, this isn't the case.
It's not binary because they should only be able to read it while performing duty b. There needs to be something that enables/disables access when they start/stop working on it, or checks access before the read it.
Im not answering your main question because Im not sure I have a good one. I will address the risk. What's happening is an Us vs Them situation developing around that very issue. You might end up fighting with this group in a way that impacts your career badly. If any SJW's in there, they will passive-aggressively bait you into saying or doing something they can portray as sexist or unprofessional while appearing blameless themselves. These people are small percentage of people who take action but quite effective and in groups like you describe more than average. It took me months to counter a talented one years back that wanted my higher position at any cost. I got lucky some women in power knew the both of us enough to find my evidence most believable.

So, it's the kind of thing that can be anywhere from a situation you can talk out to a hornets nest that will light you on fire. Be careful. Id say ask more women online for advise focusing on those with stronger, personal skills. Get more opinions.
I'm a progressive and I totally disagree with your line of reasoning.

The next POTUS will nominate a Supreme Court judge. That is far, far more important than any local issue because Supreme Court decisions have MAJOR impact for the entire country and they supersede any lower-court decisions and invalidate all conflicting laws.

When the Supreme Court says that separating black and white students in public schools is unconstitutional (Brown vs. Board of Education, 1954), it affects you directly.

When the Supreme Court says women have a constitutional right to abortion (Roe v. Wade, 1973), it affects you directly if you're a woman and/or have had your partner need/want to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.

When the Supreme Court says corporations and unions can spend unlimited amounts of money in elections (Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 2010), it affects you directly.

Sure, local politicians may affect more day-to-day life matters, but in the grand scheme of things, those don't matter too much. I mean, if you think the amount of budget allocated to the local school system is too little, move to another city/state with a better-funded school system. Not super easy to do, but moving to another country however is considerably more difficult.

The buyer assumed ebay feedback was good enough, but even veteran ebay buyers with good feedback will try to scam sellers by transacting outside of the site to save the transaction fees... and of course that's how you get scammed. The transaction fees are partially insurance for these things: if you buy and get scammed, ebay will eat the cost of it, much like credit card companies do in cases of fraud.
Yeah, and especially when learning a language....because you are going to make mistakes, and people will laugh at you. You may have the experience of talking to a 4-year-old, and realizing the child can speak better than you can.

But you humble yourself, keep going, and then you learn the language.

Ask HN: Low cost source code escrow
I am working out a contract with my customer and 1 of the items they are asking for is source code escrow. I am happy to provide this but we both agree that involving a real source code escrow company will both cost too much and require a non-trivial amount of recurring work.

Are there any low cost and low effort source code escrow services?
or Alternately:

Is there a way to create a honor based source code system where the customer has the ability to access the code but I would get notified if they did?

One example would be to put the code into a shared dropbox folder and send them the link, but if they did access it I would get notified. The drawback here is I might be able to delete the content or close the account without their knowledge.
The Python VM is elegant and it's kind of well documented. It really helped me understand stack machines.

> Adding a guild word to each object header is certainly a way to check ownership, and should be a cheap check to perform in the interpreter, but will obviously add some extra overhead to standard program execution

It needn't be done this way. When an object is invalidated it could have its class pointer sneakily changed into a special "invalid object" class. Any attempt to do anything concrete with the object would be rebuffed, but normal object accesses wouldn't be changed.

> The thing that concerns me is that explicit ownership passing can introduce as many bugs as it solves. If I have two objects A and B, with A holding a reference to B, then I can freeze A and freely pass it between guilds, but if I try and touch B I'll get an error until that too has been frozen or its ownership transferred.

At least you get an error. Ultimately, the only alternative with comparable performance is sharing mutable references. That avoids this specific problem but is open to the full assortment of problems that can occur with concurrent mutable state, many of which aren't automatically detectable in principle.

> The "Ruby global data" slide also gives me the scream heebie-jeebies, as did finding stack overflow answers on how to unfreeze objects in MRI. I'm sure nothing will go wrong. :-)

If this proposal is adopted it's a simple matter to prohibit unfreezing objects that have been shared. :)

Not that it would really be necessarily. If you're reaching into MRI's internals to unfreeze an object, then it's up to you to make sure that things don't break.
Wow, this is really bad. There is no need for it as Apple has an API for finding out which files have changed. I assume they do this simply to animate the little icon in the Finder (since I don't think anyone else does anything like it, and it was a famous question by Jobs to the DB founders). Although the author's follow on article suggest it's just for future use!

I guess that's it for Dropbox for me. Though as the author says, they're not going to care.
The VP was a douche and the "line infection" was almost certainly not from a line in the first place. The patient was on IST, so calling any random opportunistic infection a central line infection is (at best) irresponsible.

Reporting incorrect data can be worse than reporting nothing at all. Here are the guidelines: http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/pdfs/faqs/faqs-v-6_clabsi.pdf

CLIs are only supposed to be reported when the central line can reasonably be implicated as the vector and the blood is the primary infection site. Neither was established.

As far as cleaning up procedures, there will always be room for further improvement, but that's no reason to accept a $2 million fine (which still had to be paid) as a cost of doing business when the "root cause" was incorrect reporting.
It should be noted that this is not possible with regular expressions in the traditional sense (i.e. regular expressions only matching regular languages): http://math.stackexchange.com/a/181233/21405

Because of back references PCRE regular expressions can match non-regular languages as well.
> "callable via text"? What does that even mean?

It means you have to execute commands through a shell. A real API would be something you could include in your program, execute a method against and get a list of objects back. Instead all these basic command are replicated in every framework.

As far as encoding properly, you're preaching to the choir, but out in the real world there is still injection attacks everywhere.

> this is one of the few issues where convincing people it's real makes a huge difference for our civilization

Without arguing over the validity of AGW here, is there really any evidence that we could make a "huge difference" as you claim? Apart from using technology to deal with extreme climate conditions, is there anything demonstrably within the realm of human possibility that could significantly delay or reverse such climate change?
Which is a shame. It guts the market for good tools.

It's pretty sad that VS Code doesn't give you much that VS6 couldn't do back in the day (except slower and less stable).
I find both approaches combined to be most effective. People do show up more often if you knock out barriers. This leaves the common preconceptions, expectations, and do on that can reduce entry attempts if its employment or sustained effort if it's something like getting women to learn IT stuff or enjoy computers. That said, I believe it's important that the situation stays meritocratic where women know they earned their place based on skill. It's why I favor mentoring, blind auditions, women-oriented events in parallel to business/projects, and so on. They get increase diversity without problems from approaches like pure quotas or focusing on employee gender more than skill in how they're treated.
There is a very large body of knowledge that in software that isn't technology, and doesn't expire. This form of knowledge is consistently underrated by both younger devs, and management.
OZone – open source camera/NVR software

"otherwise it's a bit of a weaselly question."

Its not a weaselly question or a strawman. Its a fair and valid question. Why was it important to state being a female engineer in the title versus stating other non engineering characteristics such as height,weight,color,etc?

what is the value of stating they are female when not all females are the same , nor do they automatically have the same experiences simply because of their sex.

surely a fat , short , ugly , female engineer would not have the same experience or struggles as a skinny,tall, pretty female engineer. Perhaps one finds it as a positive experience and as an advantage while the other has the exact opposite experience.

> if you buy and get scammed, ebay will eat the cost of it, much like credit card companies do in cases of fraud.

This is not true unless things have changed in the last few years. eBay will try to get the money back by flagging the fraudster's account. But if that account has been emptied there's nothing they can do and eBay does not refund your money from their pocket.

For the credit card comment. I don't think this is true either since I worked in retail before (family owned). Credit card companies are really quick to credit the account in case of fraud (I deal with this with my own CC every year). Thinking through this it makes sense since it doesn't come from the CC's pockets, they freeze assets in the merchant's account and forcefully refund the money from merchant's account if it was determined to be a fraudulent charge (in some cases merchant still pays the transaction fee for the CC charge).
As I read it, these sham accounts were opened by employees to meet various quotas, which are apparently based on accounts, not fee amounts.
I suppose it's impressive in a way, but when I looked into "smoothing out" text to speech audio a few years ago, it seemed fairly straightforward. I was left wondering why it hadn't been done already, but alas, most Engineers at these companies are either politicking know-nothing idiots, or are constantly being road blocked, preventing them from making any real advancements.
Taking the US as an example, I think the concern is that there is 1 Facebook, vs 50+ state / regional news papers to get competing viewpoints. Yes, many of the sources of news on Facebook are themselves different news websites.

The point here is that this is all being funneled through one filter. And many media / news companies may disappear over time so the issue could become worse.

Number and variety of sources of information is the distinction.

I think your analogy would apply if there were many "Facebooks". But there is only one.
Global warming will cause a lot of problems and people may die but no way will we go extinct. There is zero risk for that unless global temperature goes up an enormous amount and the oceans boil off or something like that.
> "I see most companies are utterly uninterested in improving their recruitment processes"

I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. Most companies seem to be interesting in improving their recruitment processes - but certain fundamental systems and assumptions are treated as inviolate and sacred.

Here is a quick but incomplete list of the ones that come to mind:

- Open-ended unstructured interviews are the optimal way to evaluate candidates.

- Whiteboard coding is an acceptable, reliable, and reasonably accurate way to gauge coding ability.

- Algorithms and data structure knowledge predicts overall software engineering capability.

- Culture fit (in however nebulous ways) is a stronger predictor of future performance than standardized evaluation.

The list goes on.

The tech industry overall seems very interested in improving recruitment and hiring, so long as these fundamental tenets are never violated. Suffice it to say, this stands in contrast to tech's (in)famous claims of thinking outside the box, breaking the rules, and holding nothing sacred to disruption.

I've personally seen companies try to improve candidate sourcing, scoring systems, interview scheduling, etc etc, but practically never any of the above. Companies try really, really hard to optimize within an extremely narrow band of parameters.
