As a CS-Student i can not imagine going into a profession that you can just learn in some university and then just work in it. For me this seems rather absurd, that you can stop learning. You just have to manage that there is always something new to learn and something you know going obsolete. Thats the way life works, at least in the view of an CS-Student.

Isn't it sexist to pay someone differently (more in this case) just because of their gender?
It probably is -- from the viewpoint of those that bombs civilians with barrel bombs.

(That said, for all I know the white helmets is a front for ISIS. But either way, the Assad junta and the Russians have an obvious interest in tarring them black.)
For point 2, that's what they said about medicine, law, pretty much any other male-dominated field you can name. Even if there's a difference in interest among adults, why should that difference in interest be due to genetic factors rather than cultural differences in how we raise boys vs girls and how teens are peer pressured?

Edited to add: by the way, back in the 50s and 60s, computer programming was female-dominated.
I tried it and was immediately put off by the monumentally dumb approach to package management (or rather: its non-existence), lack of generics and approach to exception handling.

IMHO If go were invented by anybody other than Google it wouldn't have enjoyed anywhere near the success that it did.

I'm usually extra suspicious of "hot" open source technologies with a marketing budget and/or tech behemoth behind them. It's not that they can't be fundamental steps ahead it's that the marketing can end up causing undeserved popularity.
Because it works in a similar way to general security - it's reactive to the state of the art of those looking to get around it. Once someone has dedicated time to getting around it, those wanting to get around it have a free pass with that content to use it in the ways they want, whereas those who have no intention to are restricted in their use (which is usually more locked down than it needs to be for genuine users, thus more inconvenient).
They'd presumably be advertising your services though (not the kids website). Easier to establish fraud.

For mutable structures you use the "context" concept, which is also used to build a form of OOP.

For cyclic data structures, I'm not sure. I think one can pass a function, a list or a context to a function that expects a list. This it might do the trick.

But I understand that people prefer to hire friends / former colleagues. It's really really hard to know if people are a good fit for a position from just a couple of interviews. It's much easier if it's someone you've worked with before; you'll know if they can do the job or not.
> DRM's dark history — from the Sony rootkit malware to draconian anti-circumvention laws — demonstrates that integrating it into Web standards would be nothing but bad for Web users.

This is where I get scared. What if DRM does not become a web standard? What is the alternative that companies will want to use instead?

That is for me the only reason why standardization might potentially be a good thing. Not because DRM is good, but because the alternative might be worse.

Everything in the past has been broken anyway. From CSS to AACS to HDCP[1]. I was hoping Firefox (and perhaps Chromium, but Google would probably not be so kind as to open source that part of the code) would have the DRM code built in so that we can spoof the whole thing with simple modifications. Better than having to reverse engineer Sony malware.

Some publishers just use flash to manage digital media, and there is free FLOSS version of flash. It is not very effective as copy protection, but drm is not the same as copy protection as Denuvo often points out.

If one look outside of the webrowser, there is also tools like tmp-tools, as linux have tpm support for quite a time now.

If you're a photographer, I can always make a screenshot, or record the video from my HDMI/DVI cable to the monitor or take a very precise photo of my screen, and I WILL get the photo from your website or app.

There is plenty of evidence that DRM doesn't stop copying: millions of torrents ripped from crunchyroll/hulu/netflix/Blu-Rays, all of those have some sort of DRM, all of them were circumvented. There are people who think that DRM is not designed to stop copying, but it's designed to control how legitimate users consume your product (see: DVD ads).

Edit: Please don't assume that this is the only argument I have, it's just the most obvious argument from the top of my head. There are plenty of people who explain the negative sides of DRM and reasons it doesn't solve the problem you described. They do it in a very eloquent way with rigorous arguments, and I don't believe that I need to repeat those arguments. I'd like you to listen to Cory Doctorow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUEvRyemKSg

Putting them well together in Rust is debatable.

Writing proper and safe concurrent code in Rust still looks horrible compared to languages which supports it natively in the type system, e.g. ponylang type capabilities.
You still have to manually maintain locks, and it's also much slower.

There's a safety model, but it's only best practice, not enforced by the language nor the compiler. So calling it "safe" and "truly unique" is way off. Even parrot has a better, safe and lockless threading model, which guarantees safety.

Steam has DRM (the games are tied to Steam IIRC so if your account ever gets deleted you're fucked), so I don't know what you mean by "solved the DRM issue".

I pointed out the same thing elsewhere in this thread. Steam didn't solve the DRM issue (it still has it) and it didn't solve the "piracy" issue (you can still pirate Steam games by ripping their DRM).

It solved the "lost sales" issue, by making it so extremely convenient to buy games legally that anyone who can afford to just isn't going to bother pirating stuff.

Without the DRM parts. If they're emulated, they'll be ineffective. I hope it's obvious why?

I don't know what tmp-tools are, and Google doesn't turn up anything.
Seriously, Google (/Alphabet), as long as you continue to invest in such research studies, you can take all of my so called personal data for its progress and I won't mind.
Yep. For example there is a image with power lines here https://backchannel.com/the-internet-really-has-changed-ever...

I liked to see the image as the whole. Had it been made not directly viewable by the publisher I would have had great pain to make it happen. Now I just opened it on another tab.
Conversely, bands that aren't on Spotify no longer exist to me.
Regulations? The government itself was buying the stuff! Why are regulations needed for the government to not pay more than it should?
Nope. There is no consensus. Sociology, psychology and biology are all intertwined as part of the reason so conclusions are heavily based on interpretations (therefore open to bias).

I think the closest ones to the truth are those who explore the early years and how they relate to the careers they will choose.

For example this study[0] on neonatal babies (meaning not yet influenced by culture/society) concluded that males are more interested by mechanics and females ate more interested in faces; reinforcing the idea that females are more social oriented and males more exploration oriented.

By the way, one of the reasons there is no consensus is the controversy that generates reaching any conclusion that is not "it's just that society is sexist"

> Things like [Google] YouTube, Google Docs, most Google [projects] work better in Chrome.

I wonder why that is.

> This isn't always intentional, even.

I don't think everyone at Google is evil. There are many passionate engineers and hackers like you and me. However, if a Youtube developer has an issue with something running extraordinarily slowly, it's a much shorter call to the Chrome department than it would be to Apple's Safari or Mozilla's Firefox. So while developers might not be actively hindering other browsers, they are developing for Chrome. That it technically works on other browsers is a requirement but optimizing for the competition's browsers is not something I imagine management allocates hours for.

The end result is that they are hindering competition in the browser market, and quite a few people saw that coming. Still, even more people (vastly more people) either did not care or know and recommended Chrome anyway.

> Nobody is complaining their Android or iOS phone has DRM, do they?

My Android phone does not have DRM beyond what it in the SIM and I am complaining about people whose phones do. Many friends and peers share my view on this, so it's at least not "nobody".
So, someone in Google's accounting department handled a mistake in a mature and responsible way. Good on them.
You don't like Lisp? That's fine. There will always be people that don't. They'd get used to it if they tried it, IMHO, but that's their choice.

Having a language-imposed concurrency model would be useless and actively harmful in a system language. Rust provides the building blocks to build whatever safe abstractions are appropriate for the problem and domain at hand, plus a set of out of the box abstractions relatively low level that will be familiar to people coming from other system languages.

And of course the means to get rid of any abstraction and safety when required.

Choose two:

Human-meaningful: Meaningful and memorable (low-entropy) names are provided to the users.

Secure: Any entity in the system can act maliciously, including the majority of the entities or the available computational power.

Decentralized: There is still only one, unique and specific entity to which a name resolves.

And the W3C is ultimately beholden to its membership, and in a number of countries (including some the W3C operates in!) the difference between an industrial consortium and a cartel is the former allows anyone willing to abide by the consortium's process and pay its membership fees and the latter does not.
Think about what you just said about assumptions and how that dovetails with lack of respect. GP didn't suggest said lack of respect was necessarily malicious. Just that it exists and is uncomfortable. How does a perception being the result of stereotyping make it any more excusable?

Thanks for sharing this. It's always great to reread DFW. He had such extraordinary prescience about so many things.

Another bit of gold from that excerpt:

> First there’s some sort of terrific, sci-fi-like advance in consumer tech — like from aural to video phoning — which advance always, however, has certain un- foreseen disadvantages for the consumer; and then but the market-niches created by those disadvantages — like people’s stressfully vain repulsion at their own videophonic appearance — are ingeniously filled via sheer entrepreneurial verve; and yet the very advantages of these ingenious disadvantage-compensations seem all too often to undercut the original high-tech advance, resulting in consumer-recidivism and curve-closure and massive shirt-loss for precipitant investors. In the present case, the stress- and-vanity-compensations’ own evolution saw video-callers rejecting first their own faces and then even their own heavily masked and enhanced physical likenesses and finally covering the video-cameras altogether and transmitting attractively stylized static Tableaux to one another’s TPs. And, behind these lens-cap dioramas and transmitted Tableaux, callers of course found that they were once again stresslessly invisible, unvainly makeup- and toupeeless and baggy-eyed behind their celebrity-dioramas, once again free — since once again unseen — to doodle, blemish-scan, manicure, crease-check — while on their screen, the attractive, intensely attentive face of the well-appointed celebrity on the other end’s Tableau reassured them that they were the objects of a concentrated attention they themselves didn’t have to exert.

As I've said before on this subject, if you're careful what shiny new thing you bother to learn, and restrict yourself to doing it every couple of years rather than every weekend, I find the family and kids will never notice.

As a man in technology... this seems fine. The playing field is already tilted against women in tech, so if someone intentionally levels it, that's great! And I don't really care if they tilt it the other direction. Those men will find work elsewhere, no problem.

(I am not taking a stance here on Mayer's other management practices, to be clear.)

Discrimination against an otherwise unoppressed majority really fails to make me care. (Caveat: That's along a single axis of oppression; I recognize that intersectionality is a thing, etc.)
Hey, are there any AWS OpsWorks users there? I'm the creator of opsworks_ruby and I really love to hear your opinion about this set of Chef cookbooks.

Half a year go, AWS dropped their out-of-the-box support for Ruby applications. It is still remaining in the Chef 11 stack, but if you wish to use a new Chef 12, you are on your own. That's where this cookbooks kicks in - it allows you to leverage all the goodies of AWS OpsWorks (like applications, layers, connected RDS etc.) just the way Chef 11 stack did, without any extra JSON configuration. I trust, this is a much simpler solution, than implementing your own recipes (like application_ruby for example) and keep track of all those JSONs all the time. And besides, it includes many framework, web and app servers out of the box.

It also includes fancy configurator as a bonus :) - http://opsworks-ruby.rzegocki.pl/configuration-builder

I think, that pretty sums it up. I'm pretty nervous, because this is my first "serious" open source project, and I'd love to hear any feedback from you guys.

These are all good examples for video-wall style high-def setups for videoconferencing. Which also has some advantages, like being socially much more acceptable in a workplace, being able to accommodate multiple players with one device, 0 putting-it on delay etc. It's less fun for such experiences as the Virtual Amusement Park, sure.

I expect to see such high-def video-wall setups achieve market penetration faster than 3D headsets. It's "worse is better" all over again.

As copy protection they are either ineffective or, to use a security term, broken. Some companies care about that and will not use it, while others will (know several examples, like the Swedish national TV, which has broken copy protection but don't care/mind). This is why such standard would be a poor choice, and having no standard is better when there a well established understanding that a significant portion of implementation will be standard incompatible.

EME is bad because a significant portion of website will not work universally on all machines. The current system is better, and all EME is doing is causing is placing the DRM battlegrounds on W3C rather than making innovation for the web.

tmp-tools is libraries/tools to talk to TPM's on a linux system. Using them, one can implement concepts like trusted boot, and there were/is a patch to grub for that.

Only if development of the language and OS are separate. If you co-develop the language with the OS, then it makes perfect sense to push safety features into the language (or conversely, to remove them from the language when they are no longer appropriate).
