Here's my anecdata on LinkedIn Endorsements. I've got endorsements for Malbolge a language I put on as a joke that I only know about vaguely from a wikipedia article.

Turns out when they released them and every time people logged in they got prompted to "endorse", they just pressed all of the buttons (and expected reciprocation) whether or not they knew the first thing about the skill they were endorsing that I had...

I said:

"Linus has made demeaning, sexist remarks to a woman to lower her self-worth and value, in a way worse than (or even similar to) "whiny little bitch" ? Please provide sources, I'm genuinely interested."

And you responded:

"You really need a link to Torvalds abusing people? Here's kernel dev Sarah Sharp https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/07/linus...

But you did not actually present evidence of the claim. That it comes from (a female) Sarah Sharp doesn't add anything to your position.

On the other hand, in my GP comment i include direct sources to supposed receivers of abuse that Sarah is referencing. The supposed receivers comment that they do not consider it abuse and find the language helpful and productive.

See the difference? I provided relevant evidence and your link did not address the claim.

My commiserations.
I find that most engineers overestimate the portion of their job that can be satisfied by technical skill alone. Dale Carnegie states in the preface of "How to win Friends and Influence People" that even in fields as technical as engineering only 15% of job success is purely technical.

If you have a truly good idea--one you think should go up the management chain--how much are you willing to handcuff yourself by your job description? Fwiw, I've always interpreted the vague "technical leadership" parts of senior eng job descriptions to encompass exactly this. Leading people is a lot more than just telling them where to go.
If I would be working with one of these guys, I would not be given the first chance. I am all for giving second chances, but there should be a way how to do it without killing a chance of unlucky junior women or even ethical dude who happen to be in their team.

The prohibition on anything in STL that allocs mem is odd. I've been coding in C++ since 92, and started using STL and templates in earnest circa 2002. In the early 90s we were still in the C front world and template support wasn't mature. By 2002 templates were well supported, and STL's mature container code was a big step forward in terms of abstracted but deterministic memory management.
Although Canada now reports land (and ferry) arrivals to the US, Mexico does not (yet).

The headline of this article appears to be misleading and qualifying itself as FakeNews, as the war is between Trump and FakeNews Media, not the media or press, as Trump had repeatedly stated - most clearly at the CPAC speech past week.

Launched my first Beta Android app MoveIt
Hey guys! I have finally launched my Android app MoveIt in beta version. I have been working on this app for five and half months now. MoveIt is a app that helps you to transfer your Images, Videos or audios(music to SD Card and vice versa.

The idea of this app struck me when one day I was trying to figure out a easy and effective way to transfer my media to SD Card to free up some space. So I decided to make an app that helps me manage SD Card effectively and then i stated working on MoveIt.

Through MoveIt you guys can easily transfer your media to SD Card and vice versa. I have also made a cleaner which helps in cleaning up Junk.

I have launched my app in Beta version. So would greatly appreciate if you guys could download my app and comment and share it with your friends so that i can improve it.
Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=moveit.movetosdcard.cleaner

Would really appreciate if you comment on my app and help me improve it.

Sorry, but I just read what you wrote and took what I thought was the most obvious interpretation. As I explained earlier, you said:

When that's a reply to a link to an article, it seems reasonable to me that the "this" should be referring to the article. The downvotes make it clear that my expectations were wrong.

Thank you for your clarification.

I tend to like the DNS approach as it is supposedly non-commercial and non-state operated, but again you have to place your trust in a group of people you do not know (I have never met one of the root signers before), so you have no way to know if they or their equipment have been compromised by a state actor.

I assume you believe Republicans are conservative? Trump is a Republican, as is Flynn. Senate Majority Leader McConnell: "[...] proceeding with [the Republican] agenda which is exactly the same as the Trump agenda" [1].

I challenge you to find anything similar to Pizzagate, or Obama is a gay Kenyan, or denial of anthropogenic global warming, or similar that is widely believed and publicly supported by Democrats elected to national office. I'll admit some wackos on the left are vaccine truthers, but again: they do not hold national elective office. It's really all conservatives, and there aren't Democrats in national office speaking in glossolalia.

We know to a high degree of confidence that investments in infrastructure give a good return on investment. The trickle-down theory has remarkably little evidence to support it. It's a perfectly reasonable economic argument that deficit spending on infrastructure is sensible, while running a deficit to fund tax cuts is a bad idea.

That is the strangest analysis of energy costs I've ever seen. Things that are not accounted for in that analysis are (from pg. 1):

- capacity value vs. energy value (i.e. they're just assuming peak utilisation at all times, which is nuts)

- costs related to distributed generation, congestion costs (? land?)

- waste disposal (this includes nuclear)

- intermittency and back-up generation costs (e.g. costs of energy storage, costs of intermittent gas peaker usage)

- transmission costs (which get substantially larger in distributed and intermittent scenarios)

- environmental externalities (e.g. air pollution, resource mining etc.)

- system balancing costs (i.e. not having constant random brownouts)

- PV generation assumed to all be in US Southwest

And so on.... It's hard to draw any sensible conclusions from that analysis, given the assumptions made. They're even assuming piston engines will be used for gas and diesel plants that are sized to produce ~5000 GWh/yr. For reference, ~80% of the world's electricity is produced by steam turbines (not piston engines).

EDIT: Putting all of that aside, if they're anywhere close to the mark with these numbers then wind looks like the clear and unambiguous winner. Also very surprising that solar PV on residential rooftops is claimed to be significantly more expensive than any option... I wonder what's driving the cost?
How to Fix PMD Violations with WalkMod
Not really, C++ build times are usually measured in hours for anything worthwhile using, e.g. Cocos2d-x as a possible example.

You wouldn't get such compilation windows with Pascal derived languages using their module systems.

The proof being that with VC++2017 using the incremental linker and C++ experimental modules, one also gets more human friendly compilation times.

The Microsoft blog is only about the incremental linker, modules would speed it up even more.

resulting in them clicking through blindly

In the proposed scheme, they are ALWAYS clicking though blindly. There's no way for a user to know when he gets the original public key or someone else's. How is a user supposed to verify it, call the owners of the website and ask them to dictate their public key?

This warning screen is thus just a security theater.

The whole proposed "solution" is not a solution at all and doesn't work — the author could have saved a lot of time typing this blog post if they just listed threats that certificates are trying to solve on a piece of paper and put a check mark next to each if their proposed "solution" solves it.

I just returned to India after working in the US for one year. I find it extremely difficult to believe such a culture can exist in the country let alone an organization. People there were friendly, extremely polite and well mannered. I never once faced any incidents or racism or hatred in my work place and out. I can't imagine things like this even in my wildest dreams.

-Chauvinistic, racist and homophobic attitudes were far too normal

-It was normal for guys to openly refer to attractive female colleagues as sluts

-They had private chats where guys wrote sexual fantasy stories about female colleagues and supervisors where they performed all sorts of demeaning acts on the women

Also the fact that she talks about driver compensation makes it look like it was an article written just to smear Uber. I may be wrong though, but really, really hard to believe.

Edit: She refused to meet Freda Kapor (see comments in post) makes it all the more suspicious.

I don't envy the people doing this, in terms of controllers:

* There's Leap Motion Orion. Plausibly, there is some future tech involving body tracking.

* Valve doesn't know what the final form of the controller is[1], the current controllers are merely one of the better iterations.

* What we don't know.

There seems to be a need for multiple cross-sections. With the current state of flux in the field, I'm expecting controller to be highly vendor-extended.

To be fair, it is more nuanced. While everyone knows Trump "is sexist and makes comments and stuff like that" (quote from the linked article) at the same time he has glowing testimonials by women who worked for him and who he promoted to top jobs in a "boys club" industry.

> The picture many current and former employees paint stands in contrast to the blustering controversies prompted by Trump’s comments since he hit the campaign trail. .... Those who have worked for Trump say looks aren’t everything. He is more interested in hiring smart people, regardless of gender, they say, and that has led Trump for decades to rely on strong, assertive women both as gatekeepers and as advisers. Several of Trump’s female employees said he fostered a positive work environment.

At some point you need to start including Pence, Preibus, Chaffetz, Mcconnnell, etc. While I fully agree that the Venn diagram doesn't include all conservatives in the reality-rejecting circle, there is a too large of an overlap to ignore.

I'm not including Miller and Bannon in conservatives, because they're clearly motivated by something else/worse.

But it's like Christians in America, or radical Muslims. Terrible things are neither inherently Christian nor Muslim, but it's not too difficult for atheists to lump those traits to bad actors.

There's a lot of uncertainty about this topic right now, and the author fails to point to any examples or experiences from real-actual-travels to verify any of the advice being given here, rendering the article as baseless as the kinds of advice it's attempting to call out.

In truth, I believe he should take a cue from his own headline.
There is a certain flaw in your reasoning - just because Trump said it, it does not make it true. Besides the article is not about fake news. It discusses constant press attacks on Trump and his subsequent counter-attacks in the context of their own benefits.

Americans also like to make every historic victory sound like the entire conflict was about moral ideals and they were the flawless defenders of the Right Thing.

Interestingly the way people outside the US are taught about the American Civil War is far more nuanced: state rights, economical reasons, sovereignty, etc.
