Shrinking margins don't seem like a problem yet. Operating margin went up YoY from 25% -> 26% and revenue was up 20%. For the record, here's the discussion we had last year about search advertising margin:

Indeed, except that when people are literally talking about you - which they are every time women's issues turn up on here - it's kind of hard to ignore it. Nobody is here primarily to discuss politics, but political discussions happen anyway, and having to ignore them sucks.
> I wonder, are there different groups of HN readers with different attitudes towards psychology?

Yes and no. Yes, we are all different people. No, there is not much sense to grouping us based on a single dimension. That is an excellent example of what Vonnegut called a granfalloon.
While memory doesn't sleep, DDR4 supports Deep Power Down and Low Power Auto Refresh even in the non-LP form factor (this is 50-80% power reduction, there are also variable timing modes which can be used to reduce power consumption during normal machine power states).

I am ok with the LPDDR3 being used for the 13" one, but on the 15" they should've went with DDR4 tbh.

As for the chips yes no quad cores for KB yet, but then again I don't understand why they didn't just staggered the release like usual, MBP13 can come out with Kabby Lake Dual Cores and the 15 can come out later when the QC's are out which is December this year.

“Never before in history have the decisions of a handful of designers (mostly men, white, living in SF, aged 25–35) working at 3 companies”—Google, Apple, and Facebook—“had so much impact on how millions of people around the world spend their attention … We should feel an enormous responsibility to get this right.”

This was I think the most interesting quote in the article.
> How come we don't expect people to understand that having a kid is a lot of work, something that will inherently set their life back, and price that into their decision of whether to have a kid?

Specifically because people understand this is why we need to accommodate people who have children. If having children starts really setting you back because it's not accommodated in the slightest, all the ambitious, driven, and responsible people will decide that they can't afford to have children. If it gets bad enough, it becomes so common that the fertility rate of your entire country falls down.

The other reason is a business oriented one: a very large portion of the population intends to have children. It would be rather strange to exclude them all from your employment pool.

> Can't we rephrase that as, someone who has a matter in their life they need to spend hours a day taking care of will have less hours for other things?

Now a question for you. Would you want to live in a world where the only way to survive was to dedicate 100% of your life to your job? No relationships, no hobbies, no time for things like exercise. Just your job.
"It doesn't matter if X is boogie-boarding, playing video games, or taking care of a child."

A guy at work this week called in to say his child was sick and had to be taken to the doctor, so he'd be working from home after that.

The company treated him just like the guy who phoned in to say he was going boogie-boarding; as you say, exact same thing.

I agree.

Regarding prop trading, prop trading itself is the betting of the firm's own money for profit. I equated it to gambling because that's what it is. On a net basis, this doesn't really benefit society because it's essentially a zero sum game.

Market making on the other hand does benefit society by providing/ensuring liquidity.
I don't know, I think there are two issues: first the field is very masculine, that a participant is male is the standard and rarely incorrect assumption that permeates almost every aspect of IT development. So an average woman must adjust herself in a more masculine direction to fit in.

Secondly, many men absolutely treat women "worse" than men purely because of their gender (sometimes they even think they are being accommodating to the real differences that exist).
So make it a 2mm thicker and USABLE WITHOUT HASSLE. So it "just works" no matter where you are!
How risky is a voluntary 90 day sabbatical realistically?
Say, if you started it on JAN-2-2017 and started looking for a new job after ~3 months. (And just put years on your resume, in my case, it wouldn't be that odd given it is basically 2 jobs spanning ~10 years).

The reason for this is pretty simple, I'm noticing I've started to burn out and just simply stopped caring about my job. Part of that is my fault as I'm likely not taking care of myself as well as I should (among other things, such as a medical issue that spanned the majority of the past 12 months resulting in a lack of regular sleep for weeks at a time). Part of that is the environment I'm in (the undesirable portions of my job are becoming more and more frequent of an event, largely because I've been forced to abandon things I consider basic essentials...like git...because certain people simply refuse to use version control in 2016. I wish I was joking. I'm not.).

One of my friends has noticed in the past ~12 months I've had more and more trouble controlling my temper which is also just not the sort of person I'd like to be.

It is also possible I'm overreacting to my lack of motivation, the trouble I've been having maintaining a stable sleep schedule, and being forced to deal with stuff about my job I loathe more frequently.

I could simply tough it out, continue to have shit productivity, and probably last another 3-6 months before I burn out completely.

Money wouldn't be an immediate issue, I've got enough to last me ~18 months without touching retirement accounts so I'd probably have a decent chance at getting a decent job (honestly, a low stress job making $50k in a LCOL location is all I require which for any kind of software development should be relatively trivial to get [although convincing an employer I would stay given might be impossible with my experience/salary history]).

Thoughts?
Our artists at work were drowning with 8 GB of RAM. Upgrading them to 16 GB made a substantial difference for them.

Then again, with Chrome taking up >4GB of RAM, they probably could have gotten half that performance just by closing their browser or using Safari.
The use case I didn't think of was photoshop full screen and moving controls and menus to the touch bar. Nice idea.
The point of the series is to get women's perspectives. That you "don't really care about a person's gender" is irrelevant. (Plus, from a privileged position—I'm assuming you're male—a pretty easy position to take.) Women are underrepresented in tech. This is an effort to ask members of an underrepresented group questions and get their thoughts. What's the issue?
In the short term, get the highest-paying software engineering job you can, and donate a meaningful part of your income to charitable organizations working on anti-aging research such as SENS. (Check if your employer matches charitable donations, as well.) Much more efficient and effective than rethinking your entire career just so you can add one person's worth of time to such an effort.

(That's not to say "don't work on the problem directly", and there are jobs in that effort for software engineers, but don't feel like you can't contribute unless you can directly work on the problem.)

I'm currently sponsoring a matching fund for new recurring supporters of SENS, starting in November: every new recurring donation gets matched for a year, up to $24k. See https://www.fightaging.org/fund-research/
It probably has to do with the advertised price.

They probably can't advertise service as $49.95, then add an additional $20 charge if you opt-in to the privacy plan.

They probably would need to at minimum advertise both prices in their marketing copy.

This is how I've been working for a couple of years now. The ergonomics seem pretty good since the keyboard is narrow and central. You also aren't moving off axis to use the touch pad.

If a (desktop) eGPU over thunderbolt 3 can deliver the performance it would probably be my preferred solution long term.

I'd probably go a step further. If you have a sick child with an infectious disease, and even if you have arrangements that would allow you to come to work, don't come to work. Work from home.

Why? Because you can be an asymptomatic carrier.

15 years ago, I caught chicken pox thanks to someone whose kid had it coming to work. (and chicken pox is more severe and dangerous in adults... it was a "fun" week)

I've been noticing a trend toward linux among devs for a while now, so this will just hasten that. The lenovos are really sweet with linux, as an example, and I'm seeing them increasingly at programming events.

Apple has been moving it's product line towards catering to the idiocracy, anyways, so it's not surprise. Add to that the increasing loss of interest in iphone and devs moving to android, in spite of all it's problems, and you have a sea shift.

I think it's been an interesting dichotomy all along. There were the consumer apple products, and the professional ones. The professional products were used to build for the consumer ones. I think Jobs really understood the need to have a two pronged approach in this way. It seems that new management now is trying to unify it all, and the wind up is that apple will no longer be the cool dev's choice, and the result will be a rapidly declining ecosystem, offering, popularity, and, finally, revenue.
A quick google would reveal that he did in fact give this advice:

>These professionals in several industries paid handsomely for the Adaptive keys on the 2nd generation Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon. So much so that Lenovo had to remove adaptive keys for the next iterations.

Things are not the same just because they are instances of the same concept.

Lenovo's implementation was black and white, did not have controls such as slide, sweep, multitouch gestures, etc, and was just a novelty from a single Wintel vendor with not much third-party app support or OS support.

Apple's implementation adds deep OS support, will have software vendors onboard (judging from the adoption of older features Apple puts into its hardware/OS, it wont be more than a year when most apps people use will support this, from Photoshop which does already, to the Apple Pro/iLife apps (of course), to Pixelmator, Premiere, and tons of others. It also has color, multitouch/gestures, etc, which increase the utility much more, along with higher definition (for thumbnails and such which it also does).

Also Lenovo's other than that didn't sell much to the creatives market, where such a feature would be appreciated more (if it was done properly of course). Macbook Pro's already sell very well to creatives.

It's the same old story really: more thought out, more integrated, and more supported implementation beats "first to market this general idea" every time.
In 1998 the iMac dropped most other ports.
Admittedly, maybe a bit less severe because it still had an ethernet port, and a couple FireWire. But it did drop the ports that were commonly used for peripherals and devices, which is the similarity. People used those, every day. In the exact same model, they also dropped floppy drives. A _lot_ of stuff people used frequently was no longer supported in that device.

I'm not sure that this time it will work out for them, that's not what I'm saying at all. Personally, I think HDMI is useful still. And I'm hugely sad to see the MagSafe go. I guess all I'm saying is it's not totally uncharted territory, or even that uncharacteristic of Apple.
Yeah, this kind of thing pisses me off. They're literally trying to have it both ways.

More pragmatically, it's why I'm wary of purchasing any "unlimited" or other deal where a back-of-the-envelope estimate suggests the deal is so good the company is losing money on me. It may seem like a great deal for me, but I know that eventually the company may wake up and start looking for every possible excuse to kill the deal, cancel my account, get me in trouble to end the offer, etc, etc. Especially because even if they're in the wrong, it may not be worth it to hire a lawyer to prove it. In the worst case, I may never recoup my investment, in the best case, I may merely break even or make a small profit that doesn't really reflect the hassle and time I put into it.

Three random examples:

(1) I signed up for Santander's crazy extra20 deal where you get $20 a month for having a checking account. They lied to me (of course I asked this) and told me even if the promotion ended I'd be guaranteed to be grandfathered in forever as long as I kept the account open and met the conditions ($1500 direct deposit monthly and two bill pays per month). A year and a half later they announced they were closing all extra20 accounts and converting them to normal accounts. While I made a couple hundred bucks off it, taking all the time and hassle involved, I'd consider it just slightly better than a wash, which is much worse than the original offer. Not complaining or anything as I knew what I was getting into, just an example of this phenomenon.

A lot of incentive offers are kind of similar. Mad respect to those people with nerves of steel who make a living off of churning credit card offers.

(2) Rent controlled or stabilized apartments sound awesome but could be kind of scary. The more time passes, the better a deal it becomes for you.... and the more incentive the landlord has to try to stalk and harass you to find an excuse to evict you, and the more you may need to retain an attorney and deal with increasing hassles. Is it worth it? Maybe, maybe not. Rent can be very expensive, but so can legal costs. Do you want your home to be the center of anxiety in your life instead of your refuge from it?

(3) Any kind of unlimited storage or bandwidth. You have no idea what the secret magic number is where if you go past it, they'll start looking at you funny trying to find an excuse why you're technically violating the ToS, or degrade your service and find an excuse why it's OK that they degraded it, etc, etc
Do they not know they blew the chord switch? It seems like they'd know that.
But! What if I fucking loathe safari?
No disagreement here; I just don't know how "companies might crash and burn because they pay their employees lower than market rate" equates to "companies that pay their employees lower than market rate should crash and burn".

One doesn't follow from the other, and I don't agree that there's inherent evil just because the salary was lower than elsewhere.

> It's the same as if I chose to take 3 months off to section hike the Appalachian Trail

Only it isn't. If you don't hike, nothing happens. If you (or someone) doesn't take care of your sick child, including doctor's visits if needed and so on, that is a criminal act. You are responsible for your child.

We need folks to take care of their children. Both men and women. I'm more than willing to give parents extra time off work to do so. I support both maternity and paternity leave and I wish both would take it. I'm saying this as a childless woman.

And I think since our children are important, both for families and society in the present and future - I don't think folks should be punished for doing so. This includes holding future promotions and days off against them for doing the very things society thinks they should be doing - namely, parenting.
Rust fails many of the other tests mentioned. As for polymorphism, is Haskell OO? If so, then I think my claim that the term is meaningless is justified.

I don't think it's healthy to hate Windows or Microsoft, but every reasonable person should at least dislike them with passion for antifeatures, dark patterns and their other stunts, as well as for their lack of respect to customers. Few years ago I had to call Microsoft as a business customer and it was one of the worst companies I ever dealt with. I would never run Windows or Micrapsoft anything in any business setting, even for non critical stuff.
> and the instant you slap Linux onto a Windows machine, battery life plummets.

So admittedly the last time I did this was in 2003, but back then, slapping linux on my Thinkpad tripled the battery life.

Has Windows power management gotten so good and Linux so bad that it's swapped now?

In linux I could do things like turn off disk syncing so the hard drive didn't spin up. I know with SSD that's not a thing now, but I always assumed there were things you could control with Linux that you couldn't control with Windows.
Belgium. It's not necessarily the directness that I mind, it's the fact that often people are (excuse my language) full of shit. They say A, but actually mean B. Which is a trait, for example, the British have as well, but one I seem to understand a lot better than when I'm dealing with Americans.

The most real short term effect is a shocking loss of stability.

As someone not even living in Europe, but with friends living in the UK, I feel that the best path forward is for Europe to continue to refuse to negotiate anything, for the leaders in the UK to stew and not actually press the self-district button they voted to remove the safety cover from, and for a new set of elections to be held allowing those who are now more cognizant of the terrible decision they allowed emotionally charged rhetoric to goad them in to making to show they've changed their minds.

Currently "salary negotiation skill" is one of the primary drivers of one's salary, whether or not negotiation is a necessary skill for the actual job. In other words, you end up rewarding people who are good negotiators, not necessarily people who are good at their job. Of course you may coincidentally reward people good at their jobs if they happen to also be good at negotiating.

Give that up, and people who are good at their jobs but bad negotiators will tend to do better, and people who are not good at their jobs but good negotiators will tend to do worse. I'd be fine with that trade-off.
All of these things are found in Haskell as well; it's not OO by any stretch of the imagination. You're confusing "oop language" with "modern programming language".
