> Companies who are not Google or Apple like to read books about Google and Apple, pretend that they are Google or Apple, and imitate recruiting processes that come from Google or Apple. Which doesn't serve them very well, because they are NOT Google or Apple.

A million times this. I got rejected from a company because the interviewer decided he didn't like that I used array concatenation to find the correct solution to a problem he gave me. This was for a job at a 100 person company. Companies writing line of business software need to stop acting like they are google.
From the perspective of a woman who'd like to marry, those are the same thing.

I'd challenge TFA's "men less desirable" summary, however. Some men are less desirable, but that would seem to make others that much more desirable.
I think a better way to describe this is that you touch reality.

It's important to remember that for all the books written about physics in layman terms, especially quantum physics, there comes a time when words don't cut it and only math allow you to continue the conversation.

Otherwise said, you go to work and don't do anything child related at home - oh, except projecting the "I am awesome look at me" level of confidence. (How else do you 'inspire' when you refuse to spend time caring about them.)

Frankly, I would not want such father for my children.
Of course. Web applications are bigger and bigger, and quite often you have some hierarchical data structure in JSON (usually in form of tree, but tree is kind of graph anyway).

You have to deal with these kind of structures anyway. You have to be able to render such data as hierarchy of components, you have to be able to get some information from it, to transform it, to update it.

Tree traversal is almost as common in front-end world as using .map, .filter or .reduce, I think (and using `reduce` also can seem hard on beginning, but it's quite useful).
Why do you attribute it to welfare instead of the habitual villainization of single mothers by Republicans? I wouldn't vote for someone who disparages my life situation, particularly if it were a difficult one.
That looks like a 3x3 grid though. Is there an implied 3x3 grid in each of the cells?
The women don't have jobs either. But the state will provide a basic living if she has a child.

I faced a similar situation so I tried meditating for a few minutes in the afternoon and that helped put my mind back in focus.
I'm waiting for native GUI support under Linux. While running it under WINE works fine it feels a bit suboptimal. (64-bit support would also be nice to simplify deployment)
I really wanted a ZX-81, and my dad ordered one not long after they came out. But typical for Sinclair, the delivery lead time was on the order of months! Not even weeks or days, and my dad gave up and brought home an assembled Acorn ATOM that one of the techs at the university has soldered up from a kit.

Great little machine, and introduced me to programming in ATOM Basic and 6502 assembly, leading to a career in computing that's still going 30+ years later.

Oddly enough, I just ordered parts from Mouser to build David Johnson Davies' Tiny Lisp Computer 2, ... DJD being the author of ATOMIC Theory and Practice and Practical Programs for the BBC Computer and ACORN ATOM.
I haven't researched it deeply, but I wonder if it's better to assume that most two-parent families simply need two wage earners. Women tend to earn less than men, and might not be able to support kids plus a non employed husband on their income.

Anecdotally, I know at least two families in my neighborhood, in which the father stays home with the kids. One of the moms is a physician, and the other is a business executive.
I assume raverbashing's point was that a LHD system might have certain programming in place to handle passing a cyclist on the right side that behaves differently when the cyclist is on the other side of the road.

Yes, there's strong selection for sexual desire :) And yes, men have traditionally had more slack about being promiscuous. However, over several years in an extended polyamory community, I found it far more common for women to push for commitment and monogamy than for men. And that's what I've heard about current app-based hookup culture.

> It's offloading the cost of hiring on to prospective candidates.

Why is that a bad thing? The prospective candidates aren't entitled to anything, the burden should be on them to prove they have any capabilities for the job.

> What is the employer putting up? Generally nothing.

Totally incorrect, have you ever had to hire somebody? The initial phone screens alone to weed out the 99% of complete incompetents takes many hours/days. Even getting to the list of phone screens, involves many hours of sifting through resumes, where each resume is cleverly designed to hide the fact that the prospective candidate is incompetent.
> that would seem to make others that much more desirable.

I was thinking the same thing. Hooray for being marriage material.
Well, and border control in particular tend to have wider powers than regular domestic police, I believe, in many jurisdictions.

In particular, they don't need reasonable cause to search you or your luggage or your computer/devices e.g. in the US, if I'm not mistaken.
In addition to the other replies we have this interesting social custom in the U.S. where certain jobs have been arbitrarily recognized as worthy of extra compensation by the paying customers (tipping). So with a number of states raising minimum wage combined with tips and given the right conditions of cost of living, frugal living, and money management I could see it being pulled off.
My random internet advice:

1. Add the expensive price of people sitting by the phone to the proposal. After marking it up with a healthy profit, of course.

2. Move on to the next proposal.

Whatever the potential client says they want should be included in the proposed fee. With a nice profitable markup,of course. The alternative is to buy the job at a loss and make up for it on volume...which, isn't exactly the snarky response it seems to be if the staffing cost of 24/7 support can be amortized over several projects in parallel.

An alternative is to have regular staff on call to perform tech support as a collateral responsibility.

But in the end, a requirement to provide 24/7 tech support may indicate contracts that are a poor match for your firm and ought not to be pursued so that work that meets your firm's capabilities can be pursued.

Good luck.

That's the fallacy though. You aren't expected to do anything to work in support of BI. The whole point is, with increasing automation that all of us don't have to work much anymore to make basic necessities.

Its an old way of thinking, that if anybody else has anything then I don't have it. The new world we're building is called 'post-scarcity' for a reason.
Of course, he is not advocating for communism. The big "enemy" he is denouncing is rather _unbridled_ capitalism, and with that, the erasure of borders, the liberal, globalist economy (and political movements that follow), the sovereignty of countries being traded away to transnational entities, etc. As general as I could put it, he exposes feminism for making women the "reserve army" of capitalism against the worker strikes in the 1970s, which resulted in the diminution of salaries and thus prevented families from being able to support themselves on only the man's salary. He highlights that power has been moving from political leaders to business leaders (see: election of Donald Trump) who have been bending countries to their will, forcing those countries to no longer make decisions to best serve their countries but instead to best attract businesses (which bring jobs, development, education, etc etc). He is advocating for a return to the nation state which he believes is being dismantled, conservative and self-sustaining economies within countries with protectionist/nativist regulations. Whilst his solutions can be questioned, his diagnostic is still rather accurate, in my opinion.

That book has a lot of his opinions on the disappearance of the men's virility, but the parts in which he explains the causes and consequences of that are fascinating.

In my home country, speculant was just an epithet for a capitalist.
If he were honest he would have identified another category of woman: she has put up with her husband while building her career, but now that she has either succeeded or satisfied herself that she won't, she has had one or more kids and realized she doesn't have to stay married to receive the benefits of her husband's labor. Maybe there have been some recent 911 calls about "domestic violence"?

Although, as you say, that's still out of the husband's control.

I normally wake up about 4:30 AM and spend a few minutes journaling (I use the 5 minute journal technique). Followed by breathing and stretching exercises (Win Hof based) and finally 15 minutes of meditation. This routine allows me to start the day extremely focused but most importantly very calm. I should mention that I am a "morning person" so this may not be the best recipe for everyone.

To be completely fair to Monzo though, my limited understanding is that this reliance on a 'supplier' for payments will go away when the beta ends and Monzo's a full-fledged bank/current account, rather than just a prepaid card.

Projected world != real world
By "offensively wasteful" I mean off by orders of magnitude. At which point the problem isn't one of mere programming but of actually having some idea of what you are doing.

Recovery from this state of affairs doesn't happen by telling people how to fix concrete, individual things, but teaching them to think about what they are doing and to analyze things. In order to know when you are off by orders of magnitude you need to have some idea of what is reasonable before you measure. If the reality you achieve is way off what is reasonable, you either need to change your perception of what "reasonable" is or you have to face the possibility that you may not have done a good job.

A chat client that deals with perhaps 3-4 teams and perhaps 200-300 people should not require 1Gb of memory and it should consume a negligible amount of CPU. Any way you slice it that's a LOT of resources per user, per team or per communication volume. So Slack miserably fails even cursory glance at workload/resource usage.

You can start off with the lower layers: speaking a chat protocol. How much resources should that eat up? For a chat application: too little to measure on a modern machine. (I spent most of the early 2000s working on web-scale web crawlers on much, much weaker server machines than even cheap desktop machine is today). The IO should have trivial cost, the protocol parsing should likewise have trivial cost or you have messed up badly.

Then move on to the internal state. Draw it on paper. What are the main structures you will be needing. How much data do you need to keep in memory, how much space does it need to take, how do access it and manipulate state? What is a reasonable CPU expenditure?

Next is the UI. How do you make it responsive. How do you make it not gobble up tons of memory. Are there tradeoffs you can make? How do other applications do things? Where are the resources wasted?

One doesn't produce a resource hog like Slack by doing one or two things in a wasteful and sloppy manner. One does it by having the wrong attitude and systematically doing a bad job.

I wonder why there's no effort to make affordable turboprop engines in the power range required for typical GA usage. Sure, small turbines take an efficiency hit (boundary layer friction and whatnot), but still? And what makes them so expensive compared to piston engines?

But yeah, maybe small diesel engines are a better approach, shrug... And some of the designs look neat, e.g. opposed piston two-stroke like ye olde Junkers engines.

There's also efforts to create and certify an unleaded replacement for 100LL. Probably won't solve the price and availability issues with avgas, but at least it doesn't contain lead (which in addition to the environmental issues is a PITA for refineries ) and I guess it's a hedge against that last TEL-producing factory on the planet going bankrupt and grounding the fleet..
So it turns out that people lie, and a large number of the people who complain probably do have an idea of why they got banned.

They won't say that, of course.

No, my argument is that society puts constraints on people. People are free to ignore these constraints, but most people won't. And the fact that most people won't isn't necessarily a bad thing, when you consider the alternatives.

No, the proper analogy is to vent against Java multi threading complexity in a Go concurrency topic, which serves nothing but distraction to the discussion.

To illustrate that, how about we talk about the brutal crackdown of illegal immigration in Russia:

Or expand even further -- to understand the anti-immigration sentiment -- let's discuss how the Chinese "invade" Russia's far east:

People want BI/welfare state/etc now, and we are in a world with a huge labor scarcity.

Let's drop it now and take up the issue after we reach post scarcity, when it's so cheap to provide that no one cares about it.
> to "win" ... to get to the "front of the pack" etc.

and "making money" are all pretty much man-made measures of social success and self-worth, which would be meaningless in a post-scarcity society.

I mean, in some cultures, "winning" included having a large number of wives and slaves. In today's world, someone with such achievements would be out of place and seen as archaic.

What does it mean to "get to the front of the pack" when everybody can have [figuratively] everything and nobody needs to work?

Instead, success would (hopefully) be defined by what you can create and discover, or how many people you can entertain.

There is the ontological position that mathematical truths are "out there", independent of us, and we are merely "discovering" them. As such, they're eternal, and you could argue then that you "touch immortality".

But apart from that, I find this sort of talk unhelpful. It's a bit like Schopenhauer who thought that instrumental classical music gave access to the innermost truth of the universe (I'm paraphrasing from memory here) - what hogwash.

Lastly, the headline has not much to do with the article, has it?
Yes, the human species gets updated and advanced every Friday. A completely new species, new ethics, more cultured and well behaved. Not just a ape bribed with a banana to be quiet.

Sure, though consider VB apps weren't that sleek considering that typical RAM in the late 90s ranged from 32-128 MB commonly: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/266641-28-average-1998-c...

And of course in the early 00s the VB crowd largely moved to the, at first, much more resource-intensive (all-in) .NET..

Electron apps certainly seem quite wasteful and probably should be short-running one-off tools for now, rather than long-running major LoB or productivity apps.. config editors or media tweak things or such. Of course if it takes 500MB out of my 32GB RAM that's not cool (but kinda in range with ~1/64MB), but if I run it and close it after 10 mins it's also not the end of the world if it performed a job that needed doing.

What the embedded browser provides is of course both a GUI toolkit and a runtime framework, so just in-place-of a .NET or a JVM or some custom combo of (C++ std shared objects + Gtk/Qt/Etc libs). YES: this sort of "browser as runtime framework" isn't currently optimized for the Electron use case. But if efforts were invested in such optimizations, it would probably benefit browsers as well. And though it is unlikely, it is slightly likelier as the younguns adopt Electron for much/most of their hackery.

Consider: I think there's countless native app developers who sometimes yearn for the great design freedoms afforded by the infinitely mallable HTML+CSS. It is only for efficiency reasons that native still wins. That being the case, if Electron etc (embedded html/css renderer and runtime via JS) approaches were as fast-as-.net/jvm-bytecode, it would easily become the prime choice. So maybe it's just too early to discount entirely.
