For a moment, I thought we had the same parents. My mom doesn't know when to single vs double click, and both my parents lack the ability to visually parse through a screen's worth of buttons, links, and text quickly. Looking for a specific thing to press is like playing "where's waldo."

Hmm, i was thinking about building a chrome extension that can highlight the link/text-field you want to click on. You either can ask it what you want to do (ie: add to cart, bookmark the page, comment, up vote, share, etc), and it would highlight the action on whatever website you're on.

Sometimes I just want to build a chrome extension that standardizes and simplifies the UI on every commonly used website, even if that means cutting their functionalities, but that would be a silly thing to do.

I hear you about newer generations knowing how to use these things. But then I think that my parent's generation will be around for another 30 years, esp since lifespans are increasing. Sure, their demographic may literally be dying off, but that's the richest 10-20% of the population that is crippled using technology.

Crossloop seems interesting -- I'm seeing old links to it still hosted on cnet and other software download sites.

What about smartphones? Do your parents struggle with them? How do you help teach them?

No no, all (certainly any!) of them occurred.
As a man, I am embarrassed that you can't see the point he was making.

It's not that "Wimmin' are takin' our jerbs!", he was just pointing out that promoting women because they have a vagina is just as bad as promoting someone because they have a penis or white skin.

Why not promote how well you do your job?

Yes, as libraries. There are multiple linter options that can be installed with a project. Debugging is available, usually through an IDE or browser.
Hi everyone, resin.io founder here, happy to answer any and all questions. We just released resinOS at ELCE a few hours ago (Embedded Linux Coference, Europe), happy to see it made HN!
Yes, it would easily fit in a low cost FPGA.
Because there's a very active hive of MRAs here.
We use ENK instead. N as nxlog, open source release is great for many backends. Unlike Logstash, it's fast, written in C. Scriptable, no downtime for reconfig. Extendable with Ansible&co through include files.
Isn't that the best? Hundreds-of-thousands of layers of abstraction, but if you dig deep enough, it all comes down to a switch being either on or off. That's it.

I never said anything about "all" or "most" men. I have no idea why everyone is replying as if I did. Everything I said is super general and is backed up with data.

Good for you for pulling it together. Seriously. I went the service industry to community college route myself.
Easy to explain.

Field is male dominated.

Women enter and the ones that enter raise faster than men. One can speculate whether there is a promotion bias or the ones that enter have an above average pioneering spirit but...

...it takes time and experience to raise to the top. And not that many women have 15+ years relevant tech experience.

The only mystery is why journalist not see that. In any case it is good to see some hard data at least on the engineering and first management level dispelling the myth that women are discriminated against.
Hello,
This is my first submission to HN.

Sometimes I scrap web pages for fun looking for structured data, which can be mostly found in HTML tables and lists.

I wrote some specific tools for myself using scrapy, bash (super fun with curl, sed, awk, tr, grep) and nodejs (cheerio), but this is my first try at giving back to the community.

I'm planning to add a basic CLI support, but in the meantime I'd love to get your feedback.

Cheers!
You can use webpack or JSPM to resolve directories at the top level. That way you can just import "web/X" even if the web/ directory isn't a sibling to your current file.

It's not very helpful if you are distributing an NPM package, but for people who aren't authoring libraries, its a godsend.
That's a weird statement for people who need mssql support.

I thought a similar thing when I read this. Somewhat sad, but my first thought was that the second we near parity with the discrepancy between wage and representation between genders in IT/Engineering you'll see claims of "reverse" sexism. Then I read the discussion here.
"Right, which is why fields that are predominantly women, like therapy, nursing, and pornography are so well paid and well treated."

Wow. Ok, first of all, nurses get paid a median salary of around 65-66k. The 2015 salary report I am staring at lists median salary for all occupations in the US at 48k. That would put nurses around 35% higher than the average. And I would like to add that it's a career that you can enter with a 2 or 4 year degree. I can't think of much else that virtually guarantees 65k after a few years with a 2 year degree.

I don't presume to know the inner workings of our health industry, but even if the nurses work insane hours, this is what they signed up for, right? Or are you saying they had no idea what they were getting into? The same goes for male nurses, doctors of either gender, etc. Everyone knows damn well up front what they are getting into. Doctor's know it will be grueling for a long time. They put up with it because of the compensation. Similarly, the nurses put up with it because, as I mentioned, they are 35% above average compared to the rest of society (that average is including men).

Also, porn? Really? That's an industry where women absolutely dominate earnings. I'm at work so I'm not about to risk trying to lookup any numbers, but they definitely get paid far higher than nearly all males except maybe the highest gay porn actors. And if you are going to whine about the mistreatment of women in the porn industry, save it for someone else. All performers get treated like crap in the porn industry, male and female alike. And if you are going to tell me that the women get treated worse...that might be true. But then again...they get compensated for it and they signed up for it knowing full well what was expected.

More importantly, though, is the implication your statement makes - as if women are forced into these positions and have no say over their lives and careers. I hope that's not what you are saying, is it? If so, it's total crap and you know it. That would be the equivalent of treating women like children and saying that they are so incapable of making their own decisions that we have to push them into what's appropriate for them.

If we take your premise as true, it seems like you'd still be wrong. Anyone who doesn't want to get "yelled" at is going to want to do that calculus (conference organizers, the aforementioned CEO, etc).
Ignoring any arguments about tone, I also agree that not providing at least a link to the actual paper is a puzzling omission. If the goal indeed is to aid paper comprehension, limiting the ability to read it is a weird choice.

My recent job search lead me to the idea that the traditional resume is broken. Temporal view only gives recruiters and hiring managers the bullet points to qualify you in whatever bucket that they need.

Instead of a traditional CV/Resume, I went with a single page narrative approach with a link to the temporal view on my LinkedIn profile. Initially there was some pushback as the recruiters were bellyaching over the fact that they needed to actually read my essay, but as time progressed I discovered that this format became a tool.

By forcing the hiring manager/recruiter to actually read and understand your background, inbound leads were much higher quality and the initial phone screen was extremely easy. Out of 100+ job applications, i got 20 or so responses, and of those 20 responses, 10 offers.

Out of the 20 responses, 19 were good fits and had good hiring managers with a company that had a decent culture.

I am definitely using the narrative approach again for my next job hunt.
I was looking for a good counter point to the argument as it didn't feel like blackmail to me, thank you for some insight. After posting I started feeling that this felt more like an "out of court settlement" to me then anything else. Apple had proposed a way to put this behind them and move on (not a good comparison I know that is why I didn't go back and add it after the post).

I am mostly playing the devil's advocate. Both explanations may be true to a degree.

I believe it is misguided to shoehorn discrimination as the goto explanation for every statistical difference between groups of people. In this scenario the data literally implies the opposite conclusion yet danharaj was able to contrive an explanation that leaves women as the victim despite lliterally being promoted twice as fast. You can bet danharaj would still be arguing the same conclusion if the data had born out the opposite results.

Modern research suggests that you are utterly wrong when it comes to violence. Violence damages people (those who commit it I mean), and they have many built-in impediments to it. Military training is not simple. It is difficult to take an average person and make them willing to kill. Ability isn't the sticking point, humans are really quite easy to kill, we're pretty fragile.

One big reason people aren't butchering each other in the streets is because those who butcher, by and large, are crippled by the trauma of it. Having a rational justification for violence (protecting ones self, protecting ones family, protecting ones nation) does nothing to assuage the deep-rooted trauma that inflicting violence on another human being causes. PTSD is a neurological malady, not a psychological one.

What you mention about Jung/enneagram correlation is interesting. You'd think that since he's based on different partitioning scheme (2 * 2 * 2) he should end up without any types matching exactly, but you seem to suggest that it's the case and he's just missing one. I guess it could make sense provided he based his type descriptions on empirical evidence (clustering his patients) that he later artificially pushed into 8 categories.
I don't know M-B well, but since it's a M-B thread and it may be useful to other readers, I tried to pursue your exercise and based on type descriptions tried to match it. Here's what I managed to do, based on vague Jung type descriptions I've found on the internet:
ET - 1,IT - 5, EF - 3, IF - 9?, ES - 8, IS - ?, EI - 7, II - 4

Does it make some sense? Where are the gaps?

Are there any Eneagram specific resources that you'd recommend?
I've found A.H. Almaas and Eli Jaxon-Bear books the most insightful. I'd love to read/hear something original on the topic that doesn't come from the echo chamber of people who are in these circles, make money from it etc.

As to the type, just as you said one of them "clicked" with me strongly and I'm almost 100% sure which one is mine.
The Most Effective Way to Convince People to Evacuate?
Yes, that's the claim they support, but the "majority culture" that the names signify is "white and male" specifically. You seem to be saying that since people can be given any name there's no way to infer race and gender from a given name, which is ridiculous: of course there's a correlation between a name, race and gender.

Look at the top 1000 names from 1995, the next birth year that will be graduating from college en masse. "Jessica" is the top name for girls, while it doesn't even appear in the top 1000 for boys. http://www.babynames.it/top100/1/year-1995.html
Hadley verse in general. dplyr/tidyr and piping %>% has made things so seemless that I would hate to lose them for the ability to run faster. I swear I have forgotten 75% of what I learned in base R because these libraries (Outside of data.table) just work so well with one another.

RStudio has also been a God send for me. RMarkdown and now R Notebooks just amaze me. Then I work in a very MS Office environment that ReportRs (http://davidgohel.github.io/ReporteRs/) is the most under valued library right now.

I didn't have these things 5 years ago. (RStudio was initially released Feb 2011 but didn't start with it till 2013.
Do you mean import '/web/X'? Import URLs have to start with a `/`, `./`, or `//`.

Even so, that requires a build tool. I want to be able to load working sources directly out of my packages directory.

I assumed it was a reference to domain parking/squatting.
Your statement makes no sense on a purely logical level. Most of the issues we're talking about "should be the default, and" advantage" in the context we're discussing it means "area that one is better off in". GP's point was that having your genital integrity legally protected is not a right that is extended to men.
Does this have to be the case? I have a couple of long running processes that I would really like to check the output of from time to time. Couldn't you have an option to just show the last line for example?

This is really informative. Thanks!
We take a lot of very complicated systems that seem easy for granted but if you look closely we can see that they are a mesh of very complicated systems. I'm of the mind that there will be a time when we won't be able to access old information because of encryption and file formats. So we'll need to recreate things we take for granted from scratch. Which in essence is a dark age except we'll be in deeper trouble than the previous dark ages. We will not have access to knowledge other societies had since all the important knowledge will be locked up in some computer system somewhere and society as we know it will slowly breakdown. I think it's only a matter time.

It was an intentional stab at an absolutely mind-blowing lacking.

I thought the Emacs reference would give it away, but oh well.
That they are still picked by the company. That makes them suspect to begin with.

Let me give you one sample of what DD entails:

If you're going to buy a factory with a warehouse in another town you could believe they have a warehouse in another town, or you could go there to look at the warehouse, make sure it's up and running and that there is stock roughly in accordance with what you were told. You check the ownership of the lot and the building if the company claimed it is their property. You count the number of employees, how many trucks there coming and going during your visit and what got loaded / unloaded.

Of course 99% of the time you'll find that everything is in order and that any errors are accidental or immaterial. But that 1% (actually, probably more than 1% but never mind) of the time where things are not as they should be you realize what DD is for.

It's not a rubberstamp, it is a verification that the picture the company painted was error free and complete.

Asking the company what the address of the warehouse is would in my opinion not be enough, even though you could assume that all is as it should be.

I've had the weirdest stuff surface during DD's, and I've had a few eyebrows raised for stuff like 'ok, I'll visit your warehouse tomorrow please alert them' (or other stuff in that vein) but for real companies with actual products and honest management this is never any problem, at most an inconvenience. Whenever there is significant pushback to such a request you can bet there is trouble and it usually doesn't take long after that to find something really bad (which typically signals end-of-deal).

Letting the company pick the examples or the results in the case of a company that provides test equipment is not an option, you'd want to walk in with your samples have them analyzed on the spot and follow the whole chain from entry to results and then you'd compare those results to a control that you possess. Anything less would not do.

Otherwise, why do DD at all? If you're going to go on what the company provided then you may as well skip DD and become a true believer.
AP is generally elective.
One explanation would be that women could be said to have a better instinct for power, and they recognize quickly that as a corporate survival strategy, power over people is more rewarding and sustainable than power over things. Feminism isn't about women becoming IT guys, it's about becoming bosses.

Sort of breaks with the victim narrative, but provides a more plausible story.
There isn't a reliable non governmental launch system currently in production.

Space X has a long long way to go and they play a completely different game to ULA/NASA.

The SLS is expensive but it's not only needed its long overdue.
I know the reason, because I have seen it in action.

Simply put, few women work in technical IT, but end up in management, business analysis, etc. And management has a faster and higher career path to elevated positions, while techs will top out at "senior engineer/developer" after about 5 years, and will be still stuck there after 20 unless they basically give up their passion and become a manager.

Of course, there are far fewer management positions than tech roles, as the are far fewer women working in tech generally.

The students. AP comp sci at my high school was an elective that people took. The people who didn't take it chose whatever elective they were interested in (water basket weaving, guitar, etc.).

And what motivated the people to choose AP comp sci? This is just an anecdote but almost everyone in my AP comp sci class was into gaming/nerdy hobbies/internet forums/etc.

Slack's job is to make communication easier, and apparently it is doing just that based on its massive user base spike. I'm signed into 6 different Slack org's right now on my laptop to let me talk to different clients all at once and is extremely easy to use and a great timesaver.

When I leave my desk my phone gets direct messages to me that I've missed. It is incredibly useful and is doing it's job.

--flat is the cli option, but there's also "flat": true support in package.json. Used at the top level this forces a flat install, but used in a dependency it means that that package requires a flat install and it throws an error if it's not.

This means that HTML imports and ES6 modules can force flat installs and start moving the front-end package ecosystem in that direction.

I hate non-reproducible builds and semver-relaxed dep-of-the-dep issues, but, while a broken dep fails the build for lots of people (downside), the upside of this is that very quickly (within hours of a new dep being published) there will be lots angry people complaining about it on GitHub, and a faulty dep will be typically quickly rolled back / superseded with a patch. Otherwise, some bugs might be sitting hidden for a long time.
