>What basis is this statement founded on?

The graduation statistics from schools. You can't expect to have 50% men and 50% women of the same quality in an company without unfair hiring practices if the ratio from schools is 80/20.
For some things, it is a bad thing.

Apartment searching on Craigslist was so bad for so long, services like Padmapper sprang up to supplement it. Now Craigslist has a similar mapping feature to Padmapper, but still far clunkier.

Their forums were never very good, and have largely atrophied.

There is nothing whatsoever wrong with labeling nonsense as such. If it is nonsense it is nonsense. We can devote five paragraphs to describing it in a number of styles of prose and it would still be nonsense.

Sometimes I want to call nonsense nonsense and bullshit bullshit. I have those days. We all do. Today was one of them.

I am not going to apologize for something adults ought to be perfectly capable of dealing with. So much time wasted focusing on the style of the message rather than the argument itself. That's a choice made by the reader. Just like someone listening to rap music can choose to conclude it is foul crap and ignore the underlying messages, which may or may not be valid. The reader (or listener) makes the choice.

I have yet to see a solid argument showing that the statement I responded to was nothing more than nonsense. I repeat it here for convenience:

> Then again, the hours that were cut also wouldn't have to be paid to the people not working them. In a perfect situation this would have led to higher employment numbers and happier employees.

Slicing it up and paraphrasing:

"they would have received a 25% cut in pay"

"they would have to hire more people to make up for the deficit in man-hours"

"people would be happier"

"employment would increase"

So:

We pass a law that says "people can only work six hours".

Everyone loses 25% of their pay. Whole households.

Companies still need to make widgets so they run more shifts and hire more people.

Yet now entire households have a severe income deficit.

People are forced to make ends meet and either work double shifts or look for a second job.

This does not lead to happier employees, happy families, good family life, well-cared-for kids, etc.

And so, the statement is nonsense. People get paid less, work more and are miserable. They are not going to be happy and the higher employment numbers are fake and useless. This is as close to nonsense as one can get and yes, it'd take a very unique state of mind to think this a sensible idea.

Offensive? So be it. It happens to be the truth.
Thanks for the feedback!

search with /subject sounds like a good idea, i will certainly do that.

Right now I'll add more subreddits and put /r/subreddit for later as that will require bit more resources.

The inability to launch an elevated process with an easy key shortcut in the "Run" <Win>+<R> dialog has been breaking me of that muscle memory over last few years.

It's very clear from that page that the data is sometimes transmitted unencrypted.

It's also clear that if it's encrypted server-side it's encrypted with a key known to dropbox (which in my opinion makes the encryption meaningless).

So, technically it's possible that my statement was slightly misleading. It may be encrypted.

But the conclusion is, they have access to all your data. It would be available under warrentless surveillance programs, or potentially to attackers in general.

That doesn't seem acceptable to me.

Yea the analogy doesn't hold. I was simply probing at the author's criticism (or fear) of deep learning as a flawed approach given the resulting model is pretty opaque.

To be honest, I would have felt the same way two years ago. Seeing all these recent advances in the field has slowly changed my mentality.
Except that you can transport the electricity much cheaper and with less pollution than you can the produce, and optimize the produce for things other than overcoming transport effects/concerns. So the PV installations can be far away on cheap land while the produce is grown right in the city where it's consumed.

Not saying it's a good idea, just that it seems there are some offsetting concerns.
The net result is both countries would be poorer, we didn't start international trade for no reason, there are strong economic and politcal benefits to trade.

Even if Elixir had no concurrency goodness I would still prefer it to a language like JS any day of the week. JS is a mess of paradigms and features. Elixir has a small set of great features: modules, functions, pattern matching, immutable data structures, macros.

Regarding your performance point, I'm skeptical. Is it really so easy to reason about the performance of even plain JS code? Maybe you're more familiar with the deep dark crevices of v8 and spidermonkey than I am, but I find v8 to largely be a black box in terms of fine tuning performance. Of course, the big picture optimization is simple enough, but that wouldn't change whether you are using plain JS, Opal, PureScript, or any other language.

Yes, a BEAM elixir program can run parallel threads and ElixirScript won't be able to do that because in JS, there are no threads. That doesn't make plain JS faster, just means Elixir will be brought down to the same level as plain JS.

I've used what I view to be equally foreign compile to JS languages (ClojureScript, Elm). They of course came with challenges, but fine tuning performance doesn't even make the top 10.

Thats the wrong question. I highly suspect that more than 50% of the websites run jquery (or something like that) so the answer would be it is as relevant as ever.

A lot of developers dont care about the latest js framework and build their functionality in the back and still use jquery to tie it all together.

There had been a lot of rumors about an OS internally called andromeda that would merge android and ChromeOs:

https://9to5google.com/2016/11/15/andromeda-rumor-tidbits-oe...

Then there was an interview in which Google's Hiroshi Lockheimer stated that what would most likely happen is each OS gaining features from each other like how ChromeOS can run android apps and how android is using some of chrome's updating methods. you can read the article:

https://chromeunboxed.com/chrome-os-and-android-not-merging-...

Its hard to say but it seems the andromeda thing is real. I personally think andromeda is just more ChromeOs features put into android. andromeda might just be android O.

You don't seem to be getting this.

It's not about "getting offended". I told you to tone it down because your comment is unnecessarily hostile. If you, as you say, didn't intend it to be hostile you should take my comment even more seriously: You're coming across as increasingly hostile and rude in each new post you wrote.

Calling somebody a hippie with hippie logic just because you disagree with it? That's not a reasonable thing to do. It's not something I, or I'm sure even the person you were talking to, got offended about - it's just unnecessary and veers the discussion from "friendly chat" to "argument where everyone has their guards up".

That's not ok, nobody wants HN to be that.

If you think this isn't a reasonable think to ask, then what are you doing here?
That's sort of exists with the file requests feature.
No, the enrolment statistics for schools tell us nothing about why the trend is occurring. It could just as easily be due to the industry being perceived as being distinctively male and that puts off young women from enrolling in CS.

An uninformed prior doesn't really make sense in this case. You have observed somethingness at least once but have never observed nothingness--only conjectured its existence. If 1) your observations are correct and 2) somethingness is mutually exclusive with nothingness then your prior distribution should approach [1, 0], not [0.5, 0.5].

Sidenote: Out of curiosity I tried to google 'lumberjack gender diversity' and was quite surprised to see the following in a google preview, "The Lumberjack gender ratio is: 1.0 male to 1.8 females." This was less surprising once I realized that the lumberjack was a school's mascot.
that's a great point, and something that is actually telling about the us healthcare.

The 400$ saline bag is probably an illustrative example, but i believe it's a pretty common line item for most surgeries. I don't know enough about medical procedures, but i assume it's not one of the rare items/prescriptions where the high cost is somewhat justified.

I care about "all-in" cost of treatment. I don't see that. I don't see that until it's too late. I don't get charged for "all-in", i get charged per individual item in that "all-in" care i got.

Yeah, but fiatjaf is saying that Tom Dale (one of the creators of Ember.js) believes that React is better than Ember in every scenario, not the opposite. That's the part that doesn't make sense.

You may not need to, but it can be worthwhile. You can get free flights and cash back on many cards. The normal reward rates are very low, but some cards have sign up bonuses that are worth a few hundred dollars if you spend a certain amount in the first few months. Many cards will keep giving you the sign up bonuses if you cancel and re-sign every couple of years. For me, the few hundred dollars is worth the trouble of churning the cards.
With the right abstractions and (adhered-to) guidelines, a library in a non-preemptive language can allow your code to effectively yield to the scheduler so often that you get many of the benefits of preemptiveness. React is moving in this direction with their ongoing Fiber project [0] - since components are encouraged to be granular, and must be loosely coupled, the new React scheduler can take well-structured React code and plan the rendering of various subtrees with high levels of control. In fact, there's a TON of similarities between React's component model and the BEAM actor model: a component's "mailbox" consists of inbound props, outbound async callbacks to the component that requested its instantiation, and outbound assertions that the component desires to communicate props to new instances of other components.

One could imagine a compiler that inserts a yield around the calculation done in each Elixir AST node, and/or one which allows first-class representation of React components as Elixir processes, complete with JSX-like syntax. Very interesting to think about.

In the same vein, don't be afraid to defer your startup dreams for 3, 5, 7 years while you develop true specialization in an exciting field. I think too many young people (myself included) just want to start a startup to be a startup person, while I think some of the great, sustainable startups that can truly change the world demand years of patience, discipline, and discovery even before you start the prototype. ...And to be on the cusp of a startup like that has to be the greatest feeling in the world.
The ember roll out within LinkedIn has been a disaster from those I know still working there.

No one likes it and it takes over 20 minutes to "build" the code from scratch.

We're talking about frontend code, mind you.

At a certain level in LinkedIn, someone decided to standardize on Ember. Fine. But there were many issues, and instead of finding a more suitable and workable pragmatic framework, LinkedIn is instead deciding to hire Ember people to fix up their framework so it's actually useable. We really do work in the only industry where you can get hired to fix a mess you created yourself.

Anyway, besides the recruiter app, is LinkedIn really worthy of a SPA experience? Last time I checked isn't most of the traffic a quick "accept connection" or reply to inmail, or maybe check who viewed your profile bounce? Does the average user actually spend time in it? Probably not.

I'm reminded by a certain quote from a friend: "At a certain level in McDonald's, the managers start thinking of themselves as restaurateurs, and not fast food servants."

Professional go player Otake Hideo supposedly said he would ask for three stones if playing against God. That was before AlphaGo.

My guess has always been that the real gap is much higher, and a perfect player could give 6 or even 9 stones to the world's top players.

In perfect play there would be no such thing as joseki. I don't think it would be a game we would even recognize.

It does so much more than that. It can display child items from any PSProvider (Get-PSProvider): defined aliases, environmental variables, defined variables, defined functions, registry nodes, X.509 certificate containers and even Active Directory paths. "FileSystem" is just one provider amongst many.

You can also `cd` to any of these providers to use them in a filesystem-like manner. e.g. `cd HKLM:\`, `cd AD:\` (if you have the ActiveDirectory module)

That's why the name is abstract. Many of the default cmdlets work on all kinds of stuff, not just bare filesystem stuff.

My primary use case for Dropbox, actually, is getting videos onto my iPhone. You can't simply drag and drop a video file into the phone as a mass storage device. With ITunes, the sync feature purportedly sync the video to the device, and consumes space accordingly, but there's no way to access the video on the device. It's actually way faster for me to upload a video to Dropbox from my computer, and download the video on the Dropbox app into my photos. The video quality is excellent, too!
