Is this sarcasm? Most of what she is talking about seems to be in person comments that she couldn't really record but anyway she is just talking about her experience and what she thinks could be done to improve the industry so I'm not sure proof on the specifics that happened to her are necessary
> did she try to talk to her harassers directly before going to a manager? Maybe I misread something but it seems like this did not happen, yet this should always be the first step.

How do you support this statement? It doesn't strike me as a given and you don't really back it up at all.
SQLite gives you a lot of simplicity over client-server databases such as Postgres or MySQL.

A straight SQLite database doesn't quite give to you the same kind of possibility, imagine you have multiple machine that want to access the data.

It is a middle ground between "full" SQL databases and simpler solution.

It does use Redis for the client-server communication which gives reliability and is already well know in most companies.

My suggestion to use it for small, unimportant data is because there is still not persistency on disk, I am working on it right now.
Unrelated, but a friend of mine lives in a house from 1600 or so. The ceiling is painted with hundreds of funny animals, from normal cats, dogs, pigs, bears, through exotic lions, tigers, elephants, crocodiles, apes, and topped with some fantasy dragons and serpents. Many of them doing funny faces and gestures.

The first time I saw it, I had to walk around and just look for 30 minutes.

I would guess that the paintings may be later than the house, perhaps from the early 1700:s but it's hard to tell.
I think the GP's point is that electronics should never be able to keep someone in the car, regardless of the circumstances in which that behavior is triggered.

I am from Brazil, here ISPs do that because they aren't Cloudflare.

For example many ISPs explicit write in their contracts that hosting ANY kind of IRC-related content, be it a server itself, or tools, clients, or articles about IRC, will get you banned from the ISP.

I believe ISPs do that because IRC in Brazil is script-kiddie magnet, as soon some new IRC-related stuff is up, thousands (I am not kidding) of lamers will DDoS you, and some will try more serious hacks.

Similarly in Brazil, hosting games is also frowned upon, usually game hosting companies are owned by major ISPs in first place, that rent their servers to people that want to create a game server, yet, hosting games is necessary too, Brazillians are so good at being assholes that they are frequently automatically banned from other countries (example: Combat Arms, irc server AfterNET, and a couple others have Brazil, or most of Brazillian IPs in their ban table.)

Brazil also had the dubious distinction some years ago (I don't know if it still applies) as the leading country in producing "website defacers", so even your port 80 isn't safe.

So at least here, sadly I can't complain of centralization, here it is very possible that if you put a website on your raspberri PI, it will take down the entire city internet down.
Do you realize this is a build-time, not run-time dependency?
That last bit isn't an accurate description. What's going on is that the societies from which HN users come are deeply divided, and those divisions are inevitably showing up here, as they would in any large enough sample.
That means they adjust for things like that heart attacks in 80-year-olds are more likely fatal than in 40-year-olds, so a hospital serving mostly the former is expected to have a lower survival rate for heart attack patients.

They are trying to measure differences in effectiveness for similar patients. GP gives a possible explanation for such a difference : the hospital probably gets good at the kinds of things it does a lot.

I got 6 stitches in Cambodia for a major cut on my arm. No wait, seen by 3 medical professionals (including a doctor), in and out in 15 minutes. Total cost: $15.

For me, that was a far better outcome than I would have received in the US for a similar condition. Of course, stitches are pretty well understood; I can't advocate for any other medical procedures in Cambodia.

The tech industry absolutely doesn't need unions /s
Zero = nothing. 00:00 is midnight and is neither PM nor AM.

The only reason we have stupid 0 based indexing in programming is for looping. Nothing important hangs on the things you are concerned about. Which millennium doesn't really matter if it is confusing it is consistent.
3. We teach types to students as young as 12. They have no trouble with the concept, because they're taught from a young age about classifying things, and types are a form of classification. So there's nothing "unintuitive" about it. The people who have the most trouble with types are adult programmers who were raised on languages with awful type systems, like Pascal, and cannot envision any other kind.

Furthermore, we use types as a central notion in our program design curriculum. The structure of the data (aka, "types") provide a hint as to the structure of the program. This helps students who are stuck get unstuck. That is, they are most helpful to the students least able to get started, which seems like quite a valuable place to focus.

Of course, having annotations and enforcing them statically are two different things. That's why Pyret lets you check annotations dynamically instead. And that makes it even simpler and more intuitive to introduce the concept.

2. Direct integration into the syntax of the language makes a huge difference. There's no library and additional complexity. For rank beginners, every new "moving part" is a source of problems. This is why most Python curricula do not emphasize writing tests early. In our curricula, students begin with writing examples of their program's behavior — expressed as tests — and use that to help figure out the way the program must work. (Just like you use examples to help figure out a more general structure in other disciplines.)

4. Event loops are central to reactive programming, i.e., animations and games. HtDP 2nd edition begins with writing an animation. The Bootstrap curriculum is focused around teaching students to write a game — but in the process learn algebra. It's niche to you because you have a particular model of programming education, which may well resemble what people were teaching in the 80s. That doesn't mean curricula haven't moved on. And we're talking about education, not production, which are two different things.

5. Combine the earlier points for this one.

Whenever making "I haven't seen", "I don't see", etc. comments, it may be helpful to keep in mind Paul Graham's Blub Paradox [http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html].
I wonder why she didn't record everything - especially since both managers and HR were trying to gaslight her - making her doubt her sanity.

If she'd gone to HR with recordings and they brushed aside her concerns then she'd have a much stronger case.

Well as she said, a distressed mind doesn't think properly.
Huh? My point was that if you changed your environment you probably understand what changes broke the automation and are able to fix it yourself.
That is quite interesting and achievable in reasonable bound of complexity.

I could associate each DB to a redis key and stream all the UPDATES on each db.

At this point you could simply listen to the stream and apply those updates to a master DB.

Not enough upvotes for this. And yes, Pyret is free to break things and move on when we figure out better ways of doing things. We've done that a few times already.
In Haskell strings are lists of characters (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.9.0.0/docs/Data-S...). I hear not everyone is thrilled with the performance implications. :)

Also not a Haskell programmer, and really not meaning to criticize. Haskell seems awesome and I should learn it some day.
How far do you think something like Docker/Vagrant build images would go to solve that problem?

I imagine an image with the full toolchain installed, geared towards using it as a kind of "firefox-compiler" CLI (so coupled with a few shell scripts), that only requires you to know how to install Docker|Vagrant. This could easily be bundled with the source code.

Ask HN: Would you pay for a service that gets you your first 100 users?
Curious if this is a real problem for people and how much you would pay for a service that does the following:

- Create a custom landingpage to help pre-launch your startup idea

- Create custom branding for credibility, including a logo, color palette etc. (instead of using unbounce or a generic landing page builder)

- Improve/write the copy for a higher conversion rate and better messaging

- Promises to get you at least 100 people to sign up to your pre-launch list within 4 weeks or else all the work done is yours for free. These are targeted people that opted in, showing interest in your idea which you can then later work with to launch your product to, or talk to in order to improve what you're working on.

> s/women/people Harassment get target _anyone_

But does it target everyone _equally_ ? Of course not, far from it. This is why we pay attention to the groups that get targeted a lot.

Assuming that it isn't already.
> mine read 215bpm which is at least 25bpm more than my biological max

How did you learn that max? One of the things I learned training for some events was that most people thought their max was much lower than it actually was — not just due using those crude age-based formulas but also things like trying to measure it too early or late in a workout, without the right level of warm-up, etc. A fair number of people had been holding back too much because they thought their max was lower than it actually was.
Great points you made. Agree with the fact that Swarachakra is too crowded and huge scope of improvement there.
Also agree that the root of problem lie with education and state policies. But even with the huge push that english gets in this country, the reality is more than billion people don't understand it. This might still become 500 million is a decade but still half the country is being denied of internet.

Since you keep coming back to Python: I already responded to you, I believe, on a comparison to Python. In case not, here it is again. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13189513 Lots of educational outcomes (e.g., just about everything in the Bootstrap project [http://www.bootstrapworld.org/]) are linked to these differences, but since most people here are hackers, not educators, I'm sticking to the technical issues that lead to those differences.

I think it also depends hugely on the country.

I can only talk about Germany, and in general I'd say unions here have limited to moderate power, depending on the field they operate in. (e.g. you always hear news about strikes from the metal-related union (IG Metall) or the train drivers, or pilots/air personnel.)

Now, the thing is that there's also one very broadly defined one for "services" (ver.di) which used to have mostly shop assistants, hairdressers, people with desk jobs, etc.pp. But recently (let's say since the 90s) also more and more IT people and especially software developers. And I can't give you specific details, but I've heard and read so many stories about what they want is quite contrary to what people in these jobs want. Maybe (probably?) because we're better off anyway? Maybe because hardly any people in software here are paid via the regulated union tariffs (is that the correct word I'm using? The rate of pay that the union agreed to with the bigger companies. Often involves politicians, but sometimes only for mediation when there's no progress on talks) but via direct negotiations with your company.

TLDR: can only speak for Germany, but the union seems to be not representative of the people for this field of work

Agreed hence most of my parcels now land up behind my bins at home even if they are for work stuff (I run a just in time factory, Amazon Prime is useful). Funny story:

We moved into a brand new unit, first tenant, new postcode. We basically had to train the delivery companies so they could learn where we are, understandable and fine. Amazon presented a whole extra problem, though.

They use geofencing(?) for their deliveries, so the driver has to be within the bounds of the fenced area to make the delivery. The first driver must have set our fenced area up at the entrance to the trading estate, this meant that for a month a driver (never the same one twice) would show up, ask for my name, scan the package, look confused, apologise, drive 300 m back to the entrance of the estate, scan the parcel and then come back and then ask me to sign!!!

I would say it has downvotes because it's at best tangentially related and has some weird framing: it frames person A who gets feelings for person B as a victim when person B decides not to marry them.

Arranged marriage seems pretty horrible, but in talking to an indian coworker recently, they commented that having to find your partner seemed pretty horrible to them. I really don't see any compelling parallels to pharmaceutical addiction. As someone who is neither religious nor inclined towards marriage, Baptist vs. Anabaptist seems like a more reasonable comparison.

My thoughts exactly. Whenever I tinker with some new software I try to do it in a Docker container (writing all relevant commands to Dockerfile) so I can remove the changes easily when I want to.
Done and noted moving forward.

I don't envy you your job.

I also don't like your odds here: the current site mechanics and moderation pace don't seem adequate to preserve the good parts of the site in the long run, but any significant overhaul would also risk the same.

I wish you luck, with sympathy.
thank you :-) i think that is the point of the article .. we are in a chicken and egg situation here .. no one believes women when they say there are problems and hence there is no progress ..
Why should anyone need to convince you of it? You're an adult, you can read and write. Own your own progress, or lack of it.
if i had the ability to be this clearheaded, we wouldn't be having this problem at all ..

Fully in-memory SQL can also be accomplished using IMOLTP via MS SQL Express on Linux now as well. And you get a fairly feature complete engine along with multithreaded execution, no blocking, and some great client options. The only limits right now are 4 cores and ~350MB of in-memory data per database.
I cannot answer that directly, since I've never used parser combinators.

The general problem is that there's so much software out there to learn that most people are happy when they know yacc-style and antlr parser generators.

Also, most people are regularly disappointed by software that over-promises, which costs them a lot of time.
So they stick to what works for them.

In my case, I find Bison/Menhir such great tools that I have zero inclination to even look at other things.

"Lots of down votes because of uncomfortable truth?"

No, downvotes because "the current state of arranged marriages in India" has absolutely nothing to do with the article. You're doing exactly what the author said was done to her.

"they made comments about not liking to work with me or with the growing number of Indian tech workers in the company. I also faced hostile remarks about Indian women being subservient and arranged marriages being forced on Indians for generations."

I have seen a scenario where a black colleague in a on-campus lunch discussion suddenly faced hostile remarks about black people being predisposed to crime. This is the exact same type of problem. Whether or not the topic is true is completely unrelated to how the topic is used to isolate and move the person from the category of a normal team member into "other" who can then be bullied or sidelined.
> But does it target everyone _equally_ ?

LOL, wat?

Each and every case is unique, there is no equal in this.

I even gave an example, which has happened to me, to friends, to my wife equally...
You gave some pretty great tips for using right tools, but (at least for me)it sounded like a grumpy nerd.

You could write your comment without accusing tweakers of digging themselves out of their own hole and all that unnecessary tone. In that case it would have more power to teach people something new.
Exactly my point. A "nuclear" level of the same standoff is regarding changing cloture rules. The party in power can do it as a rule change (which can't be filibustered) but nobody has done so till now because they don't want to not be in power when that goes in effect.
Keep in mind that websites have gotten a lot more complex since then, so it's a different scenario entirely.
I agree with you. I definitely wouldn't trust an employee's accusations without a proper investigation, but contacting the alleged abusers and reminding them to behave professionally doesn't seem to be a problem. Especially since (in general) they might be unaware of the effect their behaviour has on you!
