And the thing I think you're hearing is that "progress" should not equate to "good enough." Doing a sensible and even helpful thing by default is part of user friendliness.
Probably because any discussion on here about that kind of stuff turns toxic pretty quickly.

Then they should use less political and value judgement entailing language.

That they don't indicates that they enjoy the attention doing so brings to their otherwise dry mathematical endeavors. Or that they aren't very good at rational decision making. In which case it's not clear that they are the best people to be writing about it.

Don't shoot the recipient.
You are somewhat correct, as it applies to me. I didn't wait for magical liberal policies to fix everything. I pursued this path knowing I was at a disadvantage so I became so good at what I do they can't possibly ignore me.

It worked.
You can pick up a decent 35mm kit for $100 off Craigslist, if you are careful.

Difference between $100 and say $15/roll total costs vs. $700 kit = 40 rolls @ 36 slides each = 1440 exposures until you start spending more than if you bought digital.

Crudely generalising; wouldn't engineering types be more susceptible to conclude that there is only one sanctioned way interpreting some text rather than someone with a humanities background?

Sure, but only to the extent that phrasing around "interpreting text" implies that the meaning sought exists in the text, rather than the cascade reactions taking place in readers upon their careful observation of the piece.
I used to work at Google as an engineer. Accessing user data in production systems was a fireable offense if you didn't have permission to do it, and permission was seldom given - you don't need actual user data to test stuff, since user-like data is sufficient.

Technically, it's possible to access it, bit no one person can do it without oversight.

Everything is politics.
WoW is currently trying to appeal to a wide audience rather than a specific group of players that something like a pure skill system would require. They've built in their time sink grinding that is always there but they've also doubled down on the lore and immersion while breaking content into chunks that are designed for players of different skill levels, time constraints and interests. You can see this with the inclusion of much more voice acting, artifact knowledge research, artifact weapons that grow with the player. There are normal, heroic, mythic and looking for group dungeons and raids all of which have different levels of difficulty and mechanics to overcome. For those players looking for a skill based challenge without the time sink of raiding the mythic + dungeon system is also new. In this system there are keys which unlock a dungeon at a specific difficulty. As the level of the key increases the difficulty of the dungeon increases and something called affixes are added. These affixes change the way the dungeon operates from decreasing healing to increasing mob difficulty overall or depending on how many are engaged at one time and several others. Additionally as you move up the difficulty you go from no affixes up to three affixes at once.

For the first time in a long time I find WoW to actually be compelling and worth spending time in game. I'll likely only play through each of the classes to max level and all of their story lines while experiencing the raid dungeons from the very casual looking for group version but everything is accessible and can be done at my own pace. Not all of the story lines are well done and I think they need to consider if they are giving equal writing time to each class but that's never been the strongest suit for Blizzard.
That's a pretty graph. If one continues it in time past 2000, one sees "gauge" begins to tank again in 2001 in popularity while "gage" holds on tight. :) https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=gage%2Cgauge&y...

Unfortunately, merely counting spellings of the word in books as that graph does isn't sufficient evidence. It fails to account for how the word is used over time. It's fully possible "gauge" as a noun experienced a radical uptick following the Age of the Sail as steam machines were introduced. These usages would obscure the frequency of the "gauge"(verb) vs. "gage"(verb).

Nevertheless, the corpus of "gage" merely underscores its acceptability. Even if it's not as popular, it continues to be used to today, as your evidence shows, so it is both correct and not archaic.

I value greatly the perspective you've brought, but it's just not aligned with the evidence and facts. If one were to adopt that worldview, one would have to call every less popular option archaic. But would it make sense to say that red is an archaic color for a car, because it's less popular than white and black? https://www.terrapass.com/images/blogposts/car-color-popular...

Finally, with respect to the descriptive usage of language, I will document these entries directly from "the wild" as used by our colleagues on Hacker News, deploying 'gage' in the Larry Wildman sense:

1. "... I'd love to get feedback on and gage interest." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9410624

2. "now I'm trying to gage how crazy it is to devote..."

3. "Was hoping to gage the interest of any Hn'ers in long island." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2663638

4. "Show HN: Gage- Validate your ideas with user feedback (gage.io)"

It took me a long time to understand the 'stakes are so small' statement about academia.

I used to see it as a humorous statement about the disconnected irrelevance of academia.

As a professional academic, I now read it as 'the stakes are so few'. Academic politics are rigidly contained by existing structures and limited funding. There may only be one or two ways to 'win' within the framework, with a limited number of 'winners'. In such an environment, vicious politics may be unsurprising.
"Tragic" relates to humans, not the universe. Yes, humans are elated that cyanobacteria changed the face of the Earth, and would be quite sad if a similar event happened now that wiped out humanity.

This nonsense about "the universe doesn't care about our climate" has got to stop. No, it doesn't, but humans also don't care about what the universe cares about.

If you want to take such a large view that the fate of people doesn't matter, then go for it, but don't be puzzled when you end up in a tiny minority by doing so.

The free space path loss from Earth to Alpha Centauri (4.4 ly) is ~300 dB at 1 MHz (AM broadcast) and ~345 dB at 100 MHz (FM broadcast). Without directional antennas on both ends of the link (and remember, this is broadcast we're talking about), the situation is hopeless.

Or, perhaps, we could apply Occam's razor, and assume that they don't have a single program (With no documentation besides 15 power-point slides) that mass-slurps all user information from 12 major IT companies...

And instead, attribute that 50 billion budget to the other hundred-odd projects, all of which are targeted (This one attacks Google, this one attacks Apple, this one hosts >50% of TOR relays in the United States...)

Edit: The PRISM slides themselves. [1] Ah - I was wrong by 2 orders of magnitude - it's 20M/year. Still chump change, compared to how much a broad surveillance project for all these companies would cost.

Look at slide #7. It describes what PRISM does. Interfacing with APGOFAMS is a tiny portion of it. Given how government works, it's unsurprising that the vast majority of that $20 million/year is poured into the bottomless pit of middle managers who live in the upper part of the chart.

The description of this suggests the analysis is a lot less plausible than the actual figure:

- Birthrates are assumed to fall linearly all the way to zero, despite an abundance of reasons why that's obviously not likely to be the case

- If I'm reading it correctly, countries' birth rate declines are estimated as a discrete property of arbitrary HDI labels rather than a function of actual HDI score. Which in practice means that minor threshold differences decide whether birthrates in a country to fall sharply across one decade and less sharply in another

- Small islands are given equal weight to China and India in gauging an HDI-bracket's average birth rate

- The HDI brackets aren't even copied correctly, and thus many ultra wealthy territories like Bermuda and Gibraltar are placed in the "low HDI" bracket. That probably means the model massively underestimates the YoY decline in birthrates in low development countries (which I suppose at least works in the opposite direction to incorrect assumptions made about birthrates dropping to zero)

- There's really no justification at all for projecting a death rate that varies between ~1 and ~15 per 1000 as a uniform 8 per 1000, especially not when data on population age distributions and life expectancies exists. (The only saving grace is that it isn't that far from the figure for India and China which have a disproportionate effect on the model)

why is a diverse workforce an objective?
I agree, yet, I don't think there is anything intellectually dishonest in counting human suffering in absolute measures. Yes, we can identify historical patterns, but individual humans are not just playing out a manifestation of social dynamics, they are living their life. The heart and mind are equal in gauging the world - just different aspects of it.
> Facebook started incentivizing recruiters in 2015 to find engineering candidates who weren't already well represented at the company – women, black and Latino workers.

Giving different bonuses based on protected classes is erring very close to the line of racial/gender discrimination.

Referral bonuses for regular employees are higher for females and POC too.
I can see the clunky from Jira seeping into Trello over time. Especially if some of the devs weren't part of a package deal.

I like Jira but I understand why others aren't fond of it. I'd argue it completely depends on how you configure/use Jira. Administering it is annoying regardless though.
About the same in France: heating oil was traditionally used to heat houses, but with the development of nuclear electricity it consumption dropped. French government back then helped the refineries by lowering the taxes and pushed the car industry to develop diesel cars. And we have been stuck with these diesel cars since this era.

It's a vicious circle because owner of diesel cars may think twice before voting if a candidate proposes to raise the taxes on diesel, even if year after year we get reports about the number of early deaths because of fine particles…
This would be bad enough on its own, but fact that the techs are paid per discovery is what's really terrifying. This is going to fall straight into the Cobra effect: when you pay people to discover X, there will suddenly be lots more X to be found, most of it unreal. Except instead of just wasted bounty money, it's going to be people going to prison.

The idea, as I understand it, for a lot of these diversity programs is: a) get more candidates of underrepresented groups to apply, b) if they lack some preparation other candidates are expected to have, help them get it, c) apply the same strict hiring standard to these candidates as to anyone else. Applying a different standard would be a disservice to the company, to the already represented group and to the underrepresented group as well (it is never a good thing to be at a role where you lack the ability to perform or learn to perform in said role).

The best companies don't and shouldn't have two standards. But point a) and b) are important.

As an example of a), a company can make an effort to reach out to graduates of traditionally black colleges, or expand their international recruiting efforts to countries that don't traditionally have a strong pipeline of sending candidates to US. Underrepresented groups also likely won't know other people working at those companies who can reefer them, since white and asian men already employed there will mostly have white and asian men in their circles. Keep in mind many hires come in through some form of networking, where represented groups already have a huge advantage in terms of getting the foot in the door, unrelated to skill.

As an example of b), most people graduating from Stanford and the like know to read Cracking the Coding Interview or similar before doing a software interview and know how software interviews work, graduates from other schools (places like my undergrad college) might need to be told about those resources. People not facing an stereotype threat might also be calmer during interviews, which helps. Now, the fix for the later is not to make the interview easier, but maybe providing or recommending mock interviews for people who haven't interviewed at similar companies before?

The idea is not to create two hiring pipelines: a hard one and an easy one. The idea is to get people to show at the start of the normal pipeline who would normally not even know that was an option.
Hopefully one day we can see those drawbacks

One of the main issues with Go is that we can't see those discussions. With C++, C, Rust, D, Java those proposals are public from Start to Finish.

From the discussions I've seen on what Go considers complicated I'd bet it work out to be something like name mangling.

Go turns off ASLR for loaded C code because its easier to debug. Which is really only true if your debugging process requires memorizing the absolute address of symbols that control flow will jump too. I guess that is useful if you are reading the raw hex streams.

Name Mangling is complicating things because you can no-longer debug with ElfRead.

Go seems to reject anything that was invented after the ~70's. As those concepts are complicated.

I can't help but feel that Thompson and Pike just don't want to change the bad habits they've developed from by-gone ages and adopt modern tooling.
> Then you were lucky.

I worked in 3 Microsoft dev shops and 1 that had a mixture. As far as I know I hadn't heard of anyone having issues getting it installed except for the rare, occasional error that could be Googled and fixed. I'm not sure I'd call that luck, sounds like you just had a bad experience.

But yeah back in the day it was a stack of discs (I think the last disc version I used had 2 discs for visual studio and 4 for the msdn) but they were always clearly labeled. One for Visual Studio, one for additional add ons and stuff and the rest for MSDN documentation.

TL;DR distinguish yourself on your capabilities, not your race/gender/ethnicity etc...

I'm a white American male that went to a CUNY college (city university of NY), which is not so highly regarded by the big 4.

I graduated with a 4.0, summa cum laude, phi beta kappa, with distinguished honors in CS and psychology.

In 2012 a close friend of mine was a hiring manager in Google, and he passed my resume to a recruiter. When he went back to check on the status of it later, he found that the recruiter had thrown out the resume.

After some arm twisting he got me an interview. I answered everything correctly, but was told I would not be getting the job.

Since that time I've been with a few startups as an Android engineer. I love my jobs, and work my butt off. On 3 occasions I've been at Google's NYC office consulting with members of the Android team. I've made sure to make an impression on the community.

For the past 3 years I've been getting a bi-monthly email from Google and Facebook recruiters asking me to come interview. I haven't, and probably never will; I like the startup scene way to much.

I don't think the decision makers are racist or sexist. Their job is to get the best engineer for the job. Initial impressions are hard to gauge, and without validation (education, trusted references, etc...) you can end up making a big mistake (I would know, having hired quite a few duds over the years).

I understand that not all people are in a position to distinguish themselves initially. Life isn't fair. Trying to make it fair for one demographic will likely end up making things unfair for another.

There's nothing wrong with not getting your first job at a big 4. Hit the pavement running, do a kick ass job wherever you are, and you'll get noticed.
We know that there exists an optimal strategy, but that we still aren't close to achieving it. It's a zero sum game where both parties have the same lack of information and the betting order rotates. I think it has to have an optimal strategy.

'Sweating bullets' – The inside story of the first iPhone
If it was for free, the FBI would get tipped off when a Geek Squad employee accidentally came upon something incriminating. No worries there.

By paying them 500$ (remembering that Geek Squad pay is shit) they incentivize the GS employees to go out of their way to snoop and, quite frankly, to try to broaden the range of what is incriminating as far as they can get away with while still getting a commission. How long before someone with a need for cash decides to plant evidence?

This is different. It's a fishing expedition outsourced to skirt over the 4th amendment.
If each team controls hiring you will end up with teams that have different standards for hiring. That implies that internal transfers will also need "re-hiring". It also implies that compensation may need to vary between teams.

I think it promotes fairness to have a committee of people who haven't met the candidate to decide on them from the details given by interviewers. This should be increasing diversity if anything as it relies on objective metrics rather than any hidden bias. The problems cited in the article are that committee members are focusing on where the candidate went to school, and who at FB can vouch for them. By trying to make sure new candidates resemble existing employees they will of course have trouble diversifying their workforce.

I think you've identified precisely why tribal culture would have helped octopodes: (never thought I'd be saying that today)

1. Before writing, technology was passed down through word of mouth from elders to younger generations in tribes.

2. Rearing/protecting young is assigned to specialized members of the tribe while others hunt/gather resources.
Interesting. I'm surprised they took this approach.

After doing support for folks who used code I developed where they modified it without telling me, I could see the merit of both ways. I've spent days remotely debugging an issue before realizing a customers actually did modify our product when they kept insisting it was never modified (he had no idea).

So I could see it working out both ways. I know one of the companies I dealt with who obfuscated their code could send us a debug version for testing / debugging a specific issue then we'd revert back to the release version. It's a little more complex but I kinda like that model.

But as you said it works great for you :)

Similar here. I don't see Trello and Jira overlapping for the majority of users. For simple tasks, there are still alternatives like wunderlist and taskcade.
The biggest problem with this is the lack of any real supporting evidence for it's claim. As far as I can tell, it relies purely on anecdotal evidence from recruiters presented as fact, rather than any actual numbers. What was the percentage of diversity candidates before and after the program started? What % of those candidates made it through the initial interview phase in relation to white and asian men? What % of diversity candidates were rejected by these committees compared to other candidates? Without this information, all this article does is to re-affirm that Facebook has a diversity problem, but fails to make a credible argument that these committees are responsible for it.
