Hi, I was a female engineer many moons ago. I stopped doing CS related for a while but now am back in the industry. Here are my answers:
1. Short answer no. CS industry has grown very fast, faster than the human to catch up. In the early day, lots of companies employee anyone with any tech skills (no matter how little experiences they have) just to keep up with the growth. So in the beginning, someone (usually men) who worked as a field tech (eg. putting cables in someone's home) could land a job in the CS with higher salary. Where women tend to enter CS after they graduated from universities. These men used to work with other men and not used to work with women. So they created a very tough environment for women to enter. I had good experiences with younger co-workers who also graduated from universities. We could talk the same lingo and had civilised discussion. But the older men were harder to work with, they had different work ethics too. For them it was a politic games, not getting the job done.
I also find that workers from India are gender bias. There are few Australian companies that have Indian managers or even higher, and there are no female tech engineers in their teams.
2. Based on my experiences, the older ones (in the 90s) were hired because for their gender. The yonger male co-workers who graduated from universities had more opportunities to get better pay, better projects (more interesting and technical), more training. These might answer why Australia is still behind in the tech world. Australia has not capitalized on the other 50% of the population.
Australian companies would rather hire someone from overseas (places like India) than an Australian female CS graduate. The foreign workers may be cheaper and could fill the positions faster, but they are not necessarily better at doing the job. I believe Australia's universities have higher quality CS education than India's universities.
3. No, I never felt uncomfortable being the only female. My explanation would be that she came from different culture.
Maybe in Europe it's different, but in Colorado I keep my LLC maintained and compliant for a couple hundred bucks a year. It's almost no work.

How do you tweak the font of the entire environment?
It's a woman. Still feel the same?

If not, you're the sexist.
Shit, I wish I had read this before I bought a copy 30 seconds ago. Now I have to spend my weekend digging through my closet for a copy of windows and a spare hard drive.
I seriously doubt this guy will serve jail time. I'm not saying that I think that he shouldn't, or that he should. It's just rare for white-collar criminals to serve time here.
The core devs said Loki now supports HIDPI out of the box.

I have made releases available to download here, effectively same as F-Droid, but easier for me to publish: https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic/releases
That's really valuable insight, thank you. The biggest struggle so far has been with zookeeper and Kafka. Things that are stateful have posed a lot of difficulty - from a mental perspective more than fighting against Kubernetes specifically, just trying to think and adhere more to microservices principles.

I'm following PetSets very closely and I think they're going to help a great deal.

Is it accurate that PetSets were introduced to compensate for the type of thing I've singled out? That certain models just don't quite fit with the "everything is equal and interchangeable" notion? Or does it just feel that way? I don't want to end up missing the point of PetSets or using them for something they're not truly intended for, or leaning on them only to hit a stumbling block.
Given the exponential growth in world human population, who knows how for how much longer we will be eating any real fish.
Seriously. No amount of design savvy and fandom is going to allow Apple to displace Tesla's core competency that easily.

The Model S is the best performing electric car on the market. It is a luxury vehicle with nearly every modern accommodation for comfort, the ability to accelerate to 60 mph in as little as 2.5 seconds and well over 200 miles to a single charge.

I can't even conceive of how someone could say Apple is the company to make a no compromises car to beat Tesla with a straight face. I can't even see a compromise.
If that happens -- people begin to rely on dict order -- the core devs will consider that when deciding whether or not to change the implementation.
Anyone know of good examples of source code applying these sort of techniques together?
Or Tesla dealership, for that matter.
I can create an LLC in about two minutes for $50 right now. If I really wanted to I could probably script Selenium to turn the Colorado Secretary of State's website into an API and throw it on Heroku.

I started using Freeboard (http://freeboard.github.io/freeboard/) in the latest project. It's also really snick and requires no front-end coding. Worth checking out!

If it works, it works. I wouldn't worry until changing the interpreter. Who knows, you might be relying on some bug for correct functionality.
Weird American nudity taboos. They don't make a lot of sense.
Once upon a time 'censorship' referred to restrictions imposed by governments. Newspapers, magazines, and publishers curating the content of their publications was considered editorial discretion (rules and moderation) and distinctly different than government censorship.

Unfortunately all these activities are now simply tossed together into the general category of 'censorship' and as such we've lost the ability to clearly communicate some important distinctions in the process. I would also argue that this loss of clarity has resulted in the negative connotations of government censorship being attributed to private editorial activities with the deleterious effect that private entities are vilified for completely reasonable editorial policies.
I really think companies like Apple and Google can execute like nobodies business in the car market, but then I see how uniformly terrible software made by car companies is, and wonder if they didn't think the same...

Here's to hoping they knock it out.
While you can bookmark stories, it doesn't seem to be tied to the new(-ish) HN feature that allows one to favorite stories and comments.
Really? Their cheap interiors seem to come up in every single comparison with BMW/etc
Certainly, but I was interested in hearing your opinion elaborated on, and I appreciate that you did so. Upvoted accordingly :)
Interesting concept. Would it be possible to share a demo of what a signed document looks like?

The article explains in a relevant and technical way how and why the job of providing post-disaster services to people became harder after a few months. For example, funds for financial support of people left jobless and/or homeless were reduced and that the population seeking funds later tended to be people who had already exhausted their resources -- often based on an earlier belief that there were other people who were worse off. The 'second wave' was not just dealing with the psychological aftermath but were more likely to be in desperate financial condition.
Can this be used to build a peer to peer VPN with no static IPs?

Very impressed with how Edge is keeping up with the new API's. Only downside is its bundled with OS version. I think that should be Edge's #1 priority. Make a edge a browser that auto updates faster than the OS and could be used cross platform.

Only reason I prefer chrome is that I know the experience is same no matter the OS + my extensions and bookmarks are one sign in away.

With android having 80% mobile share and chrome taking a massive browser market share, Google is the new Microsoft. Edge has a real opportunity to kick ass.
I disagree with your implicit premise that Tesla has any significant compromises to be corrected. I enjoy driving Tesla vehicles more than comparable BMW, Audi and Mercedes vehicles. Most cars as fast as a Tesla look more like supercars, but they're smaller and less luxurious on the inside. And most cars as luxurious as Teslas internally are not as fast or have the same technology (to say nothing of the car being the best performing electric car).

I agree with your argument that few companies could leverage the needed resources to compete with Tesla on a comparable electric vehicle, but I strongly disagree that Apple would be the company to do it.
From man git-stash:

"Applying the state can fail with conflicts; in this case, it is not removed from the stash list. You need to resolve the conflicts by hand and call git stash drop manually afterwards."

Or do I misunderstand you?
You're correct. Saved/bookmarked stories have been there way before HN has favorite. I'm thinking of syncing these two, but it's not very straightforward without API support.
The cameras on the list you linked to with built in wifi are the Nikon D750, Nikon D5, Pentax K-1, Canon 6D. That's 4/10, which is better than I expected, but still pretty poor.
Another pretty good quote about the young Don Knuth:

"We had written our [compiler] in STAR 0, the only assembler that Burroughs supported on the 205. Our compiler took one hour and 45 minutes to assemble. The first week of don's project he spent in writing his own assembler. He could assemble his compiler in 45 minutes. We were green with envy."

That's practical, right? He had limited computer time, and since every change meant a re-assembly, the obvious answer to quicker turnaround was to write a faster assembler...
CA is not a small business friendly state. $800 is the hefty minimum amount of tax a corp has to paid annually even it makes no money.
Appreciate the effort. Ive had lots of issues with other open source HN apps. This one looks and works great so far. Would've loved an fdroid release, but an open app with github releases is more than can be said about most other apps, so no real complaint there.
>"Self-driving technology is going to be a commodity; buyers are certainly not going to be evaluating the self-driving capabilities when deciding which car to buy."

Totally disagree here. We have no idea what the range of capabilities will be with self driving cars. I could easily see some versions which would be more independent than others. For example, perhaps one manufacturer can only make them drive well on highways with your hands on the steering wheel, while others can be completely autonomous so it can drive itself over to pick your kids up from school or make its way over snowy and icy roads or dirt roads with no markings.

That kind of difference would easily surmount the tribal brand loyalty most car buyers have. It's a killer feature, not a commodity.
To make sure I understand, Mastercard illegally overcharged for credit card processing, and merchants passed the charge onto consumers, so consumers have standing to sue Mastercard.

If I've got that right, can someone with an understanding of British law explain how that works? In a case like this in the US I don't think consumers would be able to sue a card issuer.

I don't use OSX or apple software anymore - but I remember that using dropbox on osx always felt like it went against apple's UX flow. I ended up getting really frustrated with it.
I wonder if it is possible, for small lenses, to laser-cut a piece of acrylic to get the convexity in one dimension then flip it 90 degrees and cut a second time to finish the job. That would still be in the DIY spirit, albeit no longer a 3D-printed solution.
Lenses collect a greater amount of light and direct it to the sensor. You will always need lenses regardless how good your software is.
Low maintenance, easy to ignore, clear purpose. I can use it to stay connected with colleagues without seeing photos of their wedding or baby pictures. There's no wall where people can publicly write to me, I don't get notified when it's my friend's birthday, my friends can't tag me in photos. I don't like the LinkedIn newsfeed very much but at least on mine I mostly only see people who have changed jobs or see jobs that are hiring.

I guess in general that being connected with your friends is a really useful tool, but Facebook does so much to try to keep you engaged that it becomes draining.

And yes, the more that LinkedIn tries to mirror Facebook or force engagement, the more I resent LinkedIn
It's not really debunked.

F-35 is not really suitable for combat. Fighter jets are now mostly obsolete, but F-35 is just especially bad.

The stealth features of it dictate much of it's design, but they destroy it's usefulness as a fighter-bomber. Which means that it will never be suitable for a replacement for the A-10.

It vulnerable to IR tracking weapons, which it's stealth features do not address well. IR guided weapons have traditionally been the stuff that shoots down American combat aircaft.

In addition to this the F-35 cross section is not large enough for it's stealth technology to deal with VHF wavelength radar. B-2 bomber can deal with that stuff, but F-35 cannot. This means that American stealth fighters are easy to identify on radar... point a VHF radar at them and get a response and then point a XHF radar at them and get almost nothing. This means that for their stealth to be useful they have to do things like shadow civilian airliners or cargo planes to do any sort of infiltration.

The stealth is also a trade off between 'over the horizon' radar guided weapons and being sneaky. You cannot turn on your radar and detect other aircraft and expect to not be noticed by their radar. Which means that you have to depend on other aircraft or ground stations to coordinate, which means that if you want to use stealth and detect other military aircraft you are going to have to operate in airspace already 'owned' by you.

I expect that F-35 will never be allowed to operate in combat because of these issues and others except in areas were you are only dealing with very technologically limited opponents.
Is "quant" finance industry jargon? I picked up the meaning from reading the article but I'm not familiar with the term.

> I mean, normally, a trial can result in acquittal even if the defendant admits their guilt if there's very strong objective evidence(DNA records etc.) disproving it.

Curious what country you are in where that's normal. Definitely not in the US. If the defendant admits their guilt, there isn't a trial in the US at all, it's done.

I switched from Dropbox to Mega a few years ago and they now have mobile apps, sync clients for multiple operating systems and decent browser extensions in addition to a more generous storage allowance. There is also the added benefit of encryption. So far I remain impressed with their service.
They can't even make a watch. A car is way out of Apple's league.
A lot of your ideas involve machine learning. What's the hardest problem you've actually run to ground with machine learning?

The point being: most practical machine learning I've seen has involved a lot of effort chasing 75-90% precision, which means that a lot of commonly considered problems can only be aided by machine learning for human-assisted or human-curated tasks, or cases where precision can be sacrificed and benefit still derived.

If you haven't picked one idea and run it all the way through to a working solution, you have the choice of actually picking one and doing it, or not attributing more value to machine learning than it actually deserves.

It seems to me that innovative uses of machine learning are more around finding a user interface or user experience that compensates for inaccuracy than it is the sophistication of the algorithm itself.
agreed. The cost of hard disk/ssd storage is constantly falling, I hate having my crap locked up in the "cloud" knowing that if I miss a couple payments it's toast.
Inquiring minds want to know - was it a stupid algorithm or a stupid person at Facebook that deleted those posts.
What people are doing (arty least medical personnel I've heard from) is recommending people get prescriptions for epi vials and syringes for self injection. Which is simpler than this. And cheaper. And easier to use. And safer.

Which is still not a perfect replacement for an autoinjector, but it's better than this contraption.
Quant-itative analyst. Yes, industry jargon.
No, it's an argument for better QA.
I'd appreciate it if someone with expertise can comment on why the market shifted to non-replaceable batteries. I know the suspicion that it's for planned obsolescence, but does someone really know?

My impression is that replaceable batteries limit the shapes, materials and engineering that can be used, reducing capacity while increasing weight and size. For example a replaceable battery must be safely handled by end users, shaped and placed so it can be easily removed, and its connection is limited to something quickly and easily utilized.
If you don't see the point of learning by example then you should never use stack overflow ever again.

Btw - you know what also is learning by example? This example.
Because they aren't being convoluted about it, their costs and subsidies are very obvious. They are simply losing money and keeping the mills going via state guaranteed debt (well, the banks are being ordered to lend).

How?
We're writing most of the code in low level language i.e. C++. For building UI cross platform we have tried electron but not satisfied with it and thinking on alternatives like JAVAFX or may be QT/GTK+.
lil snitch is one of the best tools out there, and it's what inspired me to never use apple software again... so I did the right thing and gave my lil snitch registration code to a friend.

I'm still looking for a linux alternative to lil snitch that is just as robust and intuitive - but I'm stuck using a few different things to achieve the same effect. Anyone have a recommendation with a slick GUI (for some reason I really like a GUI for firewall management)
The entry level Canon and Nikon FF cameras do not have most of the higher end features the K-1 has. It competes pretty well with D810 and has some features the D810 lacks such as a GPS, wifi, a screen that can be moved or flipped up and possibly most importantly, in-camera 5-axis image stabilization.
The two ideas are certainly related but they are also different in very significant ways. Conflating the two makes discussion of these concepts imprecise and muddled.

The notion that the government should have limited power to restrict communication is quite different from the notion that private entities have some legal obligation to publish content (i.e. that individuals can assert the right to publish via platforms that they don't own).
Specifications are also susceptible to QA.

I personally think their privacy stance was mostly to protect their own interests rather than any concern for the common man, but they were able to spin it really well and get great publicity as usual. It hurts me to say this as an owner of 2 MBPs and a mac pro which I love, but Apple is not on our side and it's painfully obvious.
It also means that someone else can sue him personally and force him to flee judgement and live amongst the penguins.
The guidelines actually say "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait" [emphasis added]. So they do call for changing the title, but only to make it less misleading or linkbait.
Huh. I thought about doing this, figured it would be impossible / pointless, and that (apparently wrong) assumption led me on a year-long journey:

The core problem, I thought, would be that AVRs have very very little memory. 316 Lisp cells sounds about right. I figured, well that's pointless. How can I do better?

I wasn't able to find a microcontroller that you can attach external memory to (without cheating and using something like an SPI RAM chip, although that's super easy). So I ended up figuring out how to build a real computer instead, around a Z80, with 64k total address space. The one I'm working on now has 32k RAM (still not great for Lisp) but you can divide up the address space between RAM and ROM however you want, so I'm planning for the next version to have the whole thing be RAM and use an AVR to "boot" it by loading code into RAM from an SD card.

The best way to protest a clickbait title is to suggest a better one. If you're just going to complain, you're probably just adding noise to the thread, especially since HN users and moderators systematically edit out the vast majority of clickbait already.

I'd say the exact opposite. From my impression of it he is in charge of the Japan office.

If this is anything like how the company I'm at is doing internationalization there will likely be pushing (and some implementing) technical requirements to make the product culturally accessible. There will be B2B, and in this case B2Gov discussions. I'm sure he will also be heading up finding office space and hiring others to do the work.

This is a very likely a senior management position in addition to I'm sure a senior technical position.

When we do change a title we try to use representative language from the article itself, rather than making up a completely new one. In the above case we've taken the linkbait bits out of the original title and reordered the result to make it grammatical.
