Is sexism a blindfold? A noiseless barrier where nothing can pass through?

I would define sexism to be believing facts solely based on a persons gender. This does not mean that if you had evidence that one sex was better at something, and you reached a conclusion based on that, then that would be sexist.

For example, it's quite obvious that men are taller and stronger than women. It's not sexist to say that, as it's based on clear evidence.

I'm unaware of the evidence the original poster has, but I would leave room for doubt that he/she does have some before immediately branding him/her a sexist.
I'm having trouble parsing the narrative of the article. It's frankly bizarre. It seems to be implying very heavily that this leaking of the administrations actions is bad for democracy. And that the administration is right in attempting to consolidate more power away from agencies as a response. If the administration doesn't like its laundry being aired in public perhaps it should behave better. The worst part is it's attempt to somehow make a comparison to Turkey here. Erdogan is a dictator that has seized control of Turkey. His purging of the "deep state" was not a good thing. And it is an offensive stretch to suggest the 110,000 teachers, police, judges and other civil servants caught in that purge constitute some kind of evil "deep state".

It's also quite possible that the commenter is trolling. I personally have a hard time believing that someone legitimately has views like that. Commenter is also not asking questions or expressing any interest in engaging about whether his views are ignorant.

I didn't say withholding judgement was crazy, see the first sentence in my comment.

I just don't see your point - she wrote a blog post. On her own website. She didn't say she was writing about the moral philosophy of sexual harassment. She didn't set out to write a feminist manifesto. She just wrote down what happened to her. Issues about morality and stance conflation are being imposed by you, derived from your hypothetical musings on how you would react, and what you would find appropriate. She can write whatever the hell she likes, frankly, thank god she wrote anything at all.
Actually, the dictionary definition of sexual harassment is quite clear cut. If you make unwanted sexual advances towards someone, you're sexually harassing them.

I don't know about you, but most people are quite capable of understanding when an interaction is a) sexual in context and meaning and b) unwanted.

> I don't get why BFQ hasn't been mainlined yet

BFQ hasn't been mainlined because it is written for the legacy block layer in the Linux kernel, which will be replaced entirely with the new block multiqueue implementation. It doesn't make much sense to replace CFQ or add a brand new scheduler only to rip it out in a few releases. Linux 4.11 will have support for I/O scheduling for blk-mq. BFQ is currently being ported to blk-mq; that work is the first big hurdle to getting it merged.
On a somewhat related note, I have an API that returns time series data. The API itself is versioned but not the data when it is added to since the endpoint is the same. How would I go about notifying consumers of the API that the data has been updated and they should call the API to get the latest data? Would versioning the data help with this?

Reddit response:

You guys know, it just dawned on me that beyond the practicalities of the question, we're looking at something incredibly significant here. That is, if this story is in fact genuine and not just a fictious commentary on subscription models.

So first of all... a software activation model from the '80s? Twenty years before Microsoft "invented" it? Back when even ARPANet was only a curiosity? That's something incredibly awesome. Key disks, manual code entry, and serial or parallel hardware keys were a thing - remote activation, now that's something else entirely.

It's like finding an ancient Egyptian D&D-like rulebook and twenty sided dice dating from the age of pharaoh Ramses. Not "impossible" as such, just extremely remarkable and improbable.

Then, the other wonder here is not that the activation server stopped, it's that it stopped in twenty-effing-seventeen. I'd have expected that BBS to have been scrapped around '95 at the latest. Also, phone numbers - where I grew up, phone number formats and area codes have changed three times since the '80s, a BBS call coded in the '80s would have stopped working before '91.

Also, I cannot imagine the change-averseness of someone who keeps using a CAD suite from the '80s (probably on some ancient XT or DEC or something weird and irreplacable) well into the 2010s. I mean my dad is the image of conservativeness, and yet even he migrated all his CAD work from the old DOS tools over to Windows-based, modern stuff when Windows NT 4.0 came out...

I'm not saying "it's not true", just that if it is, this should probably be on some Youtube computing history show as the curiosity of the year.
Masakage knives: http://masakageknives.com/

There are many other makers of kitchen knives that are comparable to Masakage knives, but if someone who was serious about cooking asked me for a single recommendation of which knife brand they should buy into this would probably be my response. Their knives are reasonably priced, feature beautiful aesthetics, have personality, and perform as well as anyone could reasonably need.

I am glad you enjoyed it!

To explain where I'm coming from: I found Loom frustrating because it removed what I enjoy most in almost all types of game, which is agency. I remember several points where Bobbin's actions were very different than what I would have chosen. I had no say in it, yet still had to do the 'work' of advancing the story. I enjoy linear narratives, too, but Loom felt, to me, like the worst of both worlds, not the best.

Transfer Playlists Between Spotify and Apple Music
My take? Uber and Lyft themselves are a response to pretty terrible taxi dispatch. (And, in certain parts of the US, to policies like medallions that impose a supply cap on taxicabs.) Most places I know of that have a free-ish market for cab rides (Israel, Australia, etc.) have local cab-hailing apps with similar interfaces to Uber that have outcompeted it in the local market.

"But I feel like we've lost sight of who is probably chiefly responsible for Trump to begin with: A media framework which rewards views, leading to focus on the most outrageous and entertaining "news" over important information."

I agree with you on this point, but I'd like to add that this argument can be spun further: the media framework is as rigged for views as it is due to poor prioritization of the media consumers.

Of course, next step in the chain is that it's the media companies that failed to find business models that adapted to digital and retained sufficient journalistic integrity. But I think that's a bit unfair. None of us have figured that out. I highly doubt that journalists are celebrating the new age of clickbait. I'd rather suspect they cry themselves to sleep over it, so it's not for lack of trying.

Sigh. I think I'm going to buy a Guardian subscription now.
> If you make unwanted sexual advances towards someone, you're sexually harassing them.

That's untrue. It has to pass a bar of being "frequent and severe". (https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm)

With your "clear cut definition", simply asking somebody out on a date that you work with is sexual harassment if he/she doesn't want to go.

Which is ridiculous on the face of it, because if you don't make some sort of advance, you'll not know if it's unwanted or not.

The language "severe" is ambiguous, but asking somebody out once to dinner should not be a fireable offense. Telling somebody what you would like to do to them sexually should be.

Sometimes, yes: I know developers that do customize heavily, but personally the furthest that I go is changing a desktop wallpaper :) (DevOps: I switch between systems all of the time).

The sentence wasn't very clear, but I was really talking more about APIs and developer experience: one of the reasons why projects switch from GTK/GNOME tech to QT is that it's apparently much easier for them to work with.

Inheritance is a mess.

An inheritance tax is a catastrophe for family businesses because you aren't inheriting money, you're inheriting the business. It isn't a liquid asset. Families end up forced to sell the farm to pay the inheritance tax on it.

The natural thing to do would be to not have inheritance tax but leave the tax basis where it is. But then suppose grandpa bought shares of GM before the war and never sold them. Now they're worth a million dollars, but if you sold them the government would immediately take ~40% of the money. Which means you're stuck with a choice between keeping $1 of GM shares or selling them at $.60 on the dollar so you can buy Tesla shares or a Tesla or anything else whatsoever. Tax policy is forcing people into making otherwise economically irrational decisions, which is bad for the economy.

So to prevent that from happening, when you inherit grandpa's shares you get a new tax basis. But then people start complaining about rich people not paying taxes and bring back the inheritance tax. And then rich families with family businesses quietly get an inheritance tax holiday passed every generation or so that lets them keep the family business in the family, or otherwise do tax planning to prevent it from having any effect.

The solution to this mess is to realize that rich people never actually pay taxes until they spend the money anyway and we're better off with a VAT that doesn't have any of this trouble, combined with a UBI to make it progressive.

I think the fear here is, that conflict between them will lead to a paralysis of state, that could be abused by outside actors.

Or it might strengthen deep state too much, making them true unelectable power.

Or it might be used as excuse to purge and reorganize deep state, as Trump sees fit.

> Wikipedia claims this: "10 original WC-135B, plus 1 converted former EC-135C. Two aircraft currently in active service."

You are right – I misunderstood the introductory paragraph of the Wikipedia article when I checked.

In this case, however, I'd like to add to my nitpicking by complaining about the phrase "highly unique".

I also don't get why anybody would use cnn.com, or any other TV station's website, for news. Journalism happens at Newspapers, at magazines, and in books. That's the result of economics: These formats are very constrained. They don't allow for many distinguishing features except the content itself. Whereas CNN has dozens of variables it can jiggle before even thinking about investing into investigative journalism, and ultimately it's bound to be the better business decision to spend money on a charming anchorman than a dozen people working an idea that may just go nowhere.

Interesting, the music theme from the third comic in the first row[1] is the exact copy of the famous game Star Trail[2] (The Dark Eye) from the nineties. I hear such similarities occasionally and always wonder if this is either a strong influence or a deliberate copy (No offense, just curious).

* Giving excessive importance to estimates

Seen this one. It was used as a excuse not to do code reviews because they cause to miss estimates. "Look, the feature is done, but because of the code review requirement I cannot mark it 'done' in the project plan." Solution: abolish code reviews.

* Assuming that good process fixes bad people

This one is a big one. It's everywhere. Especially in big software development companies, such as Microsoft and Google. They tend to believe that once they institute a perfect process, everything works out perfectly. Perfect coding guidelines lead to perfect code, no matter who writes it. Perfect testing process - testing can be done by monkeys. Perfect project management process - now we can hire project managers with just basic Microsoft Excel skills. They don't understand that without actual talent the company enters a "spiral of death" which is impossible to escape.

* Ignoring proven practices such as code reviews and unit testing

This is done frequently by people who never tried such techniques as code reviews and unit testing. If you do it consistently through, say, one release cycle, you start to value those techniques and understand their importance.

Unit testing, for example, helps me to avoid painful debugging complex issues in production. All features that I unit tested usually just work when integrated into the rest of the product. In fact, the last bug I had to fix happened in code that I neglected to unit test, because the unit test setup was too complex for that component (in itself an indirect sign of a problem). Unit tests also lead to components usable independently of each other, thus reducing the overall system coupling.

* Hiring developers with no “people” skills

This is a double edged sword. On one hand a developer who can't communicate well will eventually produce code that doesn't do what's intended. On the other hand there are people with too much "people" skills who can't code shit. They just bullshit their way through. I'd say there are too many of such bullshitters. A lack of communication skills in a developer is a problem fairly isolated to that developer. A lack of coding skills in a bullshitter is much bigger problem that affect many people around him.
> Or the RIAA, even the mega crops of the industry have a union.

...which hardly can be said to be acting in the best interests of either small-time musicians or big stars.

The RIAA actively seeks to withhold royalties from musicians and intentionally makes it very difficult to collect them. A number of big-name stars sued them over this some years back, unsuccessfully.
The notion of the 'deep state' is that of a controlling body within the government which controls the actions of the nominally 'representative' part of the government. So a collection of people who "actually" set policy vs the the President. And their means of control is generally to create a narrative that supports their chosen course of action, whether or not the elected official agrees with it.

And in general I think it is unlikely, although prior to this election many people, especially young people, asserted that "voting was worthless since they had already decided who was going to win." That would be in keeping with a "Deep State" sort of situation.
The leaks would be better if they came with full transcripts, instead of some vague handwringing about malfeasance.
