Boston, MA -- 10 miles each way, and 95% of that's on a bike path. By bicycle, 35-40 minutes each way, up to an hour in heavy snow / poor road conditions. By motorcycle, anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on route and traffic. By train, 12 minutes.
It is not surprising to me, because of how privilege works.

The people who look like the group that has all the power (white dudes) never really get confronted with real-world consequences for not looking like that... except for internet message boards, where, I guess, the painful consequence is being told they have privilege and should be more aware of what life is like for everyone else.

But hey, if the price you pay for being a white dude is... being told on message forums that white dudes have the least difficult time navigating economic structures of modern life, but that's it, that's still a pretty sweet deal for white dudes.

Of course, they'd rather not hear it at all. No one gives up power without a fight.

They seem to have been doing this since they started, or at least since the Model S came out. They don't seem to have much trouble generating orders, so they're running flat out all the time.

I'm desperate to push the "women aren't victims" narrative.

If we tell them they're victims enough then they'll believe it. There is evidence of this in other things for instance refugees who are told that they're victims are less likely to integrate.

I'm more focused on pointing out that we're all equal. If you're a woman on my team, I'm incredibly sorry but I'm not going to celebrate your feminity any more than I'd celebrate my other colleagues manliness. You do your job and I'll reward everyone with good pay, a bonus and a cake or two.
> Not sure, but you can pick up a 1U server running 96 ARM cores today. ARM cores are optimized for certain types of work and have code to accelerate all sorts of things like AES, SHA1/2, video codecs, etc.

True, but that 96 core 1U server is going to bear a high price, and Intel CPUs also have instructions to accelerate AES, SHA1/2, video codecs, etc.

Thanks for letting us into your lovely personal computing story.

I often ruminate about the graveyard of dying software - the BASICs, the COBOLs, the xBases, the Delphis and the PowerBuilders, to name just the few I know. And the immense amount of code written and souls poured into by programmers over the years.

They're all there, there is still juice in them, but we move on because, impermanence. This was also a theme in _why's parting gift. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5575707
Depreciated is not removed. Apple is usually very conscientious about depreciating things, then waiting a while before removing them. In some cases they have gone to great lengths... for example the now 5 year depreciation of OpenSSL: first they marked it depreciated, which generates a compiler warning, then after a few years they removed the headers from the MacOS SDK so you couldn't compile new software but left the binary in place so that old software would continue to work. The next step will probably be to remove that binary, something I would expect in MacOS 10.13 (sometime this year) or 10.14 (presumably next year).

$2M Prize for Building a More Accessible Internet
This is a really good point, but I think for me it's more of a visceral response to falseness or inaccuracy that was developed by programming actually.

It is good to encourage women and other underrepresented groups to enter tech-just imagine how many awesome programmers we are missing out on- but I feel we can do this by being objectively accurate.

I'm with you on the underrepresented story, this is very common. But the glassdoor study has many major flaws and I don't think is really that useful. The biggest flaw is that it's only using self-reported data for location, gender, salary and job title; and it has a very broad comparison by job title that doesn't really fit when you are comparing "programmer" with "qa engineer"
I apologize, I read an implication in that wasn't warranted.

I think what led me to that was the idea that older generations have already seen infrastructure crises, so only younger ones would be learning something new. But I guess that's not really the case, is it? Has there been a major infrastructure crisis in the last ~100 years?

Well, the big issue with any of these is that you invariably find yourself needing that one feature so badly.

"Great, let's add authentication."

"Cool, do you want to login with Google, Twitter or Facebook?"

"Github..."

"Ooh, add it to the list..."

And then you're waiting. This doesn't just happen once, it happens constantly on all kinds of things you need. This way you can go in and change it around.

You already have a nice CSS pattern, you just drop it in.

Gothamist Has Been Acquired by DNAinfo
I'd say the article's reasoning is flawed :) We cannot be experts in everything. We can hardly be experts in a very narrow field; for all the rest we have to trust other people. The only thing we can do is to choose who(m) we trust. Now, there are no rational rules to do this; we do this based on I don't know what. Experience, gut feeling, whatever; our own understanding of the world, of course, but it's bound to be limited.

The fact that some people claim that they are devoted to science and reason doesn't make it so. The French Revolution claimed it was scientific; they gave us SI units everybody is so fond of. And Marx's "Capital" looked very reasonable for a very long time and even now many people still believe in its reasoning (or think they do; most don't understand it anyway). The Soviet propaganda and education made it a point that the communist theory was, you know, the only "scientific" theory of progress and everything. And it did look convincing, especially if you were exposed to nothing else since childhood; I'm talking as a survivor here :) And I say: no. Thanks, but the reason is not enough.

Edit: typos.
And what's funny is I've been to a lot of dealers that refuse to touch body work too. They might say they do but they end up passing it off to a local company behind the scenes.

Reminds me of http://www.nissan.com.

I get why it's appealing on a "little guy against big nameless corporation" level, but honestly, it's like an annoying kid who wants attention.

It's not like gail.com or nissan.com are providing any content that 99.999999999% would find remotely interesting or useful, I imagine most are just annoyed to accidentally stumble on some barely-coherent anti-capitalist rambling.

But I get it. It's cool to be a rebel.
I thought the MR paper described an actual working implementation. It had performance test results, descriptions of issues they encountered and solved, and some sample source code of how MR is used. It seems like a lot of effort was put in for it to be a hoax.
You have to keep in mind that adding support for special cases makes the general case a little bit slower (because it has to always check if it's the special case or not). It's not completely free to make pow work fast on small integers.

So, it's a trade-off. I would also prefer less special cases optimized for naive use, but only if it's accompanied by documentation that says "prefer X instead of pow(x, 2), prefer Y instead of pow(-1, k), etc." It shouldn't be guesswork as to what's best to do for common cases.
Python support in Visual Studio 2017 or the lack thereof
For almost two years I worked in Ann Arbor, Michigan while living in Saginaw, about 93 miles, and a two-hour drive most of the time due to traffic in some areas. I managed this by doing a weekly commute instead of a daily commute, couch-surfing with friends living nearby for 2-3 nights, and working 1-2 days a week telecommuting.

I just relocated to Ypsilanti MI, and now my commute is more like 20 minutes or less. But it is still kind of disturbing: I avoid surface streets due to traffic, but traffic on I-94 is very heavy and is often slowed or stopped, so it is a little harrowing, even trying to avoid peak commute hours.

These corridors would be so much better if (1) we had a decent rail infrastructure and so the roads were not so heavily traversed by freight-carrying trucks, and (2) we had some kind of decent passenger rail. A mini-BART-like system that gets around Washtenaw county would be so great.

For many years I worked different jobs at the University of Michigan and other companies in Ann Arbor and lived close enough to my jobs to walk or bike daily, which was great. That really isn't a possibility for me anymore.
This blanket statement is not generally applicable. It can depend on rendering tech used, the game, and hardware. And this is going to be an issue in bleeding edge games mostly.

Borderlands 2, for example, plays fine for me on a i7 930, with a GTX 570. An older rig.

Dota 2 with OpenGL rendering hits or exceeds the Windows FPS when run on Linux.

Switch to Vulkan though and it craters.

Source engine games with OpenGL rendering often outperform Windows.

Ask HN: Help me list laptops supporting SGX
Hello there. There is only very little information available about which laptop supports the Intel Software Guard Extensions. Someone already tried to compile a list of laptops [1], but it is pretty short. Also, it lacks information about SGXv2 compatibility.

Can you help me expand that list by compiling and running the provided script [2] on your laptop, and report back here with the results and detailed information about your laptop? I will then send a pull request with all the answers to this discussion.

Thank you for your time!

You'd be surprised how quickly you get used to it. It's definitely a compromise, but you're trading vertical resolution for stability and compactness. Ever try using a 3:2 laptop on an airplane these days? It's not fun...
Anecdotally I've never seen it used this way as much as it is a frightening possibility.

Culture fit has always been synonymous with, "lack of confidence" in my view. Employers want to build a cohesive team. Companies don't want to be perceived as sterile or corporate so they allow various forms of "hazing" when bringing in new team members and if they perceive that an employee won't put up with piling on they cut it short before it becomes a disaster.

I have added a little bravado and practice soft skills before interviews now, and I find this qualifies me for "culture fit" despite being a little older than my peers.

I recommend a 1990's era Honda Civic Del Sol. It's a great car and uses almost all the same parts as the Civic's and Accords of the era. It's a little 2 door sports car with a removable hard top, and the manual transmission version is supper fun to drive and gets like 33mpg. I got a 1994 with 89,000 miles on it a few years back for $2500 put another 50,000 miles on it and just sold it for $2500. Best car I have ever owned. I would be willing to bet the true carbon footprint of buying and driving an old del sol for another 100k is less then buying a new tesla and driving it for 100k.
You typically download SSH once, while you download js potentially on every page load.

It is also much harder to monkey-patch a native binary than to inject js into a browser tab.

Browsers by default trust any of hundreds of CA's, while SSH trusts none by default.
I'm not referring to that type of support; this is merely support for the base platform. I'm referring to the entire ecosystem of Microsoft products, of which you'll find most are x86 only.

When you say "there's no money to be made...so Micosoft has no reason to bother", this attitude is a major reason why ia64 failed, and why their previous arm attempt failed, and why their current arm attempt is also likely to fail. If the software isn't there, it's a poor proposition for most customers.

When I run Linux on ia64 or arm, I have an entire distribution's worth of software at my fingertips, and for the most part I'm not losing out compared with more popular architectures. With Windows, no matter how technically good the base platform may be, the ecosystem is a wasteland and will remain so until Microsoft put the effort in to support them properly.

Supporting multiple platforms is not expensive; it's simply a matter of having the build infrastructure in place. In Debian we had it build every package automatically built on 11 platforms. Microsoft could do the same for their applications. For example, see https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=okular&suite=... -- one package built for 22 platforms. Building for three or four is not a lot to ask...
I live in the Chicago suburbs. My office is about 40 miles from my house and I take the train. All in my commute is about 1.5 hours each way. It isn't bad because I bring my laptop and work on side projects during that time on the train.
This inflation argument sounds right to me.

Can you point to an article which talks more about how SWFs balance their in-country out-country investment?
I haven't heard any reports of Expo developers or React Native developers (who aren't using Rollout or JSPatch) getting this warning.
The argument applies just as well to each member of society. Imagine the savings in law enforcement if every one of us just followed the rules all the time!!!
This was my experience too. Did you find any standard cost-based robust parsers or are we still stuck rolling our own?
I have a Surface Book and I will vouch for how awesome the 3:2 display is. I agree that 16:9 is a bit disappointing. It's the lingering dominion of HD televisions converging on computing. I am glad that some companies are re-asserting the unique needs of computing and adjusting monitors accordingly.
I'm attempting to start do the whole solopreneur online make your own business passive income thing, and it hit me one day that I was spending a whole lot of money in expensive places to sit in front of my computer and type. So this year I moved back to smalltown Indiana. I have a relatively giant apartment above a storefront in one of these small town main streets. It is mostly quiet and costs a whole $360 a month.

There is a coffee shop with 2 tables and a nice owner to talk to, and a couple of my friends work at the one webdev shop in town. I live two blocks away from a tiny little dance studio where I take dance lessons once a week, and am close enough to a city that I can drive there if I have to. Also the internet here is better than many large cities I've been to.

My relatively small savings from freelance should last me way longer than it would have in Chicago where I was before. I kind of wonder if there is an opportunity here to start little startup colonies in small towns.

Sure, it's no cultural center, but I've been pleasantly surprised at the friendliness of the people I've met here. The towns around this one certainly vary in quality of life, but if you look around you may find some cool places.

The main street may not be able to support a grocery store with Walmart down the street, but it is supporting a custom bike shop, a funeral home, and several local insurance companies. Maybe one way to revitalize these small towns is to bring in tech jobs that can be done from anywhere. It's certainly working for me so far.
IMHO, this thread is slowly filling up with stories of enthusiastic workaholic parents making wildly optimistic claims regarding how productive they are.
I'll never forget the explanation of why the M16 was so terrible on release: it was billed as self-cleaning, which meant literally nothing except "you don't get the cleaning gear you'll need". Add in the switch to cheaper, dirtier ammo, and everyone knows how good the results were.

It's not quite the same as cutting maintenance budgets later, but it's a painful story of money going in up front without any respect for ongoing costs.
If you wanted to cycle, which would take perhaps 12 minutes, would it be reasonable to do so? That is, is a reasonable route permitted, and would you feel safe using it?

Ditto for walking, it should be 30-40 minutes, depending on your pace.

I don't think anyone is claiming that Susan Fowler's case is unique, it is not. Her case is rare, like murder. Of course murder is a terrible crime and is in no way equivalent to sexual harassment, but is useful as an example of a terrible, but rare case.

I sincerely hope the problem isn't systemic or systematic within tech, but I need to see data to believe this. Your anecdotes of multiple women who have, unfortunately, suffered, is not evidence of a systemic element of tech company culture.

I'm not worried about framing issues, I'm worried about being accurate and precise. One of the parts of programming that I like the most is the procedural accuracy that comes from coding.
