At least Lenovo was supposed to offer these as option for some of their laptops.

Maybe this makes sense if you need lots of space. Over 1TB SSDs are expensive.
Seems difficult given how few tech companies are female-dominated, actually.
> can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Women should be just as passionate about the work.

If you enjoy being an ass, at least have the decency to be honest about it and own it instead of pretending that it's "passion".
Except when you interview only women about reasons they leave companies, what you hope to discover is why more women than men might be leaving. This article offers no insight on that question.
> It's a nit pick but those prices would always be a bit higher after the effort to import them and source them etc.

That's what I said:

> The difference between the prices charged in the US and the prices charged in any other country could be no greater than the costs of reimporting the drugs from that country

As for:

> Of course this will never happen. No politician wants to have her name tied to the bill that allowed all those dangerous drugs into the country that killed kids.

That's not true at all. The Senate voted on this exact proposal on Jan 17th (not for the first time). The measure failed, but only by a few votes[0].

> One mistaken import or a badly made counterfeit being imported would be a media frenzy.

We're talking about importing drugs only from countries which recognize US patent laws, such as Canada. The risk of counterfeit drugs entering the supply from reimporting is no greater than the risk of counterfeit drugs entering the supply domestically in either US or Canada.

Besides, this is already done for other drugs, just not prescription drugs that are on patent.

What's the difference between 'determines' and 'influences'? I mean isn't that just a sliding scale? If a concept is incredibly difficult to formulate in a given language, could it not be said that the language has limited my thinking?
Anywhere I can look for a more detailed explanation of the process by which a gravitational wave imparts momentum, though? It seems like the mechanism must be quite different from the geodesics in a constant gravitational field.

> The Rust runtime is larger than C's (I imagine it's not much larger than C++, but this is already way too large).

I believe that it is smaller than C++'s but larger than C's, but I'm not a mega expert here. I used to know where those files were located in-tree, but don't anymore.

I think there's also several distinctions you can draw here; for example, strictly speaking, almost no runtime is required, but if you're using say, the standard library, you still might end up with a bunch of code. The actual requirements are very small though.

> AFAIK, nobody ever proved it works as designed. The fact that it's design is not very stable is also a problem.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean here. The runtime?

> A simplified version of Rust might be a better target than C, if somebody ever creates it, but a lot of the safety would have to be left out of it.

I _think_ with the above comments, you mean the Rust langauge overall, not the runtime, right? So, Rust _is_ very stable; post 1.0 we have made extremely small breaking changes, corresponding to the way new C++ standards sometimes introduce minor technical backwards incompatibilities. As for correctness proofs, there are multiple academic institutions working on it; and they don't have to "leave the safety out"; that's what they're trying to prove!

Code reviews may have grown in importance due to scaled back formal design documents and formal qa staff and processes.

> young women generally respond to it in a way that I like (e.g. they make a value judgement about what advice was worth taking and what wasn't and do it).

In my only 10+ years experience, I noticed women seem more defensive about their code being reviewed and I have to write long formal arguments if I'm suggesting any more than a trivial change. Then there will be a discussion afterwards and based on that it's 50/50 whether it gets done. Now I pad reviews with positives about the work to soften it in some probably transparent attempt to placate the reviewee.

With men, I review the code, make a suggestion, I usually get a note "sounds good, will do." That's not all men of course, there's always at least one guy who doesn't want his code reviewed at all, too good, doesn't see the point, etc.
This is purely anecdotal, but I found the idea that calling is more effective than writing or emailing to be a myth. I interned for a Congressman in their DC office, and we interns were responsible for taking and responding to all in-bound communication. While we did assemble the metrics of which issues we received the most communication on each week, I never got the impression that those numbers impacted policy positions in the least. I don't think the Congressman or his CoS ever saw them.
That said, the Congressman I served was also part of the party leadership, so my experience may have been the exception, partly for that reason.

You're wrong. Every industry has management problems. Women leave tech at a rate much higher than they leave other industries. The only conclusion is that tech is a hostile environment for women, or that women are intrinsically unable to perform in tech.
"(1) can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Women should be just as passionate about the work."

Being aggressive is not being passionate. Don't confuse the two.

If you can't get your point across without being aggressive or mean, then you have no business making it.
1) Colleges do not hire students to do work at "market rate". That is never how it has worked. You get slightly above minimum wage to do some work. If you want market rate, go find a job off campus! No law against that (well perhaps for some VISA holders)

2) The better comparison, would be how much would this work cost to do form a body shop in India? I bet a lot closer to 5k then 50k. And honestly if he is anything like most college students I know, the India work may actually be better.
The entire purpose of a code review is to highlight things that are wrong. You can't point out things that are wrong without someone being able to spin your comments as some kind of toxic masculine impulse to show basal-primate technical dominance through demonstration of superior shamanistic technical knowledge.

Pointing out a buffer overflow isn't sexism. It's pointing out a buffer overflow.
Every episode of this series is one of the best sci-fi movies I've ever seen. If they expanded (P.I.) every episode to 120 minutes I'd pay $20 each to go watch them in theaters.
As someone who is just a bit over the age of 40, I do spend most of my TV watching time with Youtube. However, my viewing habits are not for watching these channels in question. I'm more into the killing 10 minutes paradigm. I choose Youtube because I can search for something I'm interested in, get a bunch of hits, and just pick one. If I like it, I let it keep going, if not, I skip it or just turn it off. I don't like investing a lot of time in searching through the Netflix/Hulu catalog, and eventually deciding via "meh".

As far as these types of popular or personality cult channels go, I pass. I don't understand the draw. I understand the ones where you watch people play video games; that makes sense. What I don't understand is watching people open boxes, reaction videos (where you watch someone react to a video they are watching), or those videos where people are complaining about something/someone on Youtube/Twitter/Facebook/Snapchat and how that affects them.
JavaScript has many challenges, but I think the biggest by far is the lack of "batteries included" standard libraries.

Without those, ecosystem fills the vacuum with a large, evolving mix of overlapping libraries that don't interoperate.

How often have you considered library X, but then found it doesn't work with your project's other libraries and frameworks?
While the salary trend in new hires out of school is an encouraging sign, your comment seems rather selective: the rest of the article you linked points out that in every situation other than "just out of college with no experience" the pay gap is real:

> salaries that were 3% less than what men were offered, but at some companies the

Looks faster than an SSD to me. From the FAQ:

"Q4: Will Intel Optane memory also accelerate an SSD? If so how much?

A: Yes. Intel Optane memory can be used to accelerate any type of SATA-based storage media, including SATA SSDs, However, the performance benefit of adding Intel Optane memory will be greater on slower storage devices like an HDD versus a relatively faster storage device like a SATA-SSD. Additional performance data is forthcoming"

1. Heat is not the same thing as passion. It's possible to be passionate, but still run into problems when discussing technology with people who are so convinced of their correctness that there is no actual debate taking place. This happens much of the time with younger devs coming out of college who are, for instance, absolutely convinced that the best way to do [x] is to use [y] technology or [z] paradigm.

As a senior dev on a team of scala/haskell programmers, we see this often. Speaking over someone is not the same as being passionate. People speak over women all the time - I have been on the receiving end of it from devs fresh out of college as someone who's published papers.

2. They were talking biological imperatives. Women's ability to have children dies at ~40. If they want to have kids, they need to get on it. No one said anything about women being only mothers and men being only breadwinners.

The Endless (Circular) Runway
My 60 Memorable Games by Robert James Fischer.

I worked through the whole book, tore it to shreds. Bought another copy recently (English notation, please). I was in a bookstore the other night (Moe's) and saw Botvinnik's Gruenfeld book and I just had to look up his notes on the Botvinnik v Fischer game. It was exactly as Fischer quoted it in his side by side commentary; I remembered it from memory. Botvinnik mentions a student of his, Kasparov, finding a new analysis.

Fischer went nuts, completely racist conspiratorial Alex Jones nuts. But MSMG has a clarity of thought that will always be his hallmark. The brutal objectivity. If only he'd applied it to himself.

I suppose this book gave me an appreciation of really low level thinking and how far you can go. Yes, the computer era hasn't been completely kind to Fischer. But that's like comparing Haswell to the 6600. I use Haswell but I still learned things from the 6600.

Well, that and 1984.
I'd say they're issues that are harder for woman to navigate. Not because they're less capable I should add, but because what's considered acceptable behaviour is different.

From the Wikipedia page:

> A study (1999) by Capron and Duyme of French children adopted between the ages of four and six examined the influence of socioeconomic status (SES). The children's IQs initially averaged 77, putting them near retardation. Most were abused or neglected as infants, then shunted from one foster home or institution to the next. Nine years later after adoption, when they were on average 14 years old, they retook the IQ tests, and all of them did better. The amount they improved was directly related to the adopting family's socioeconomic status. "Children adopted by farmers and laborers had average IQ scores of 85.5; those placed with middle-class families had average scores of 92. The average IQ scores of youngsters placed in well-to-do homes climbed more than 20 points, to 98."

This demonstrates quite clearly that high socioeconomic status causes high IQ scores, not the other way around.

Well, that's a whole different rant but, really, you read about grown men texting their female coworkers incessantly with crude sexual propositions and you have to wonder how they ever came to believe this was acceptable behavior.
> Sexual health is part of public health, and thus we'd expect PrEP to be funded by Public Health England, not the NHS.. The target of your anger here should be local authorities (who hold responsibility for Public Health), not the NHS.

First, PHE and NHS are both part of the DH, as is NICE.

Second, sexual health is one aspect of PrEP, but it's not the full picture (though of course, that's how the NHS press release you linked would be inclined to portray it. The lower court disagreed with that portrayal, even if the appeals court did not.)

Finally, the arbitrary delineation of responsibilities in which the NHS is free to wash its hands off of the matter and NICE has no incentive to hold the NHS accountable - leaving patients with no choice but to pay out-of-pocket - is exactly the problem. Meanwhile, PrEP has been generally available (and essentially free) in the US for four years, thanks (ironically) to the federation of power which forces insurers to remain somewhat competitive with each other, and which permits the pharmaceutical companies to pick up the slack when that fails.

If you want to point out that this approach has its shortcomings as well, then yes, I'm right there with you. But it's wrong to imply that what NICE and the NHS are doing is fundamentally different from the cost-benefit analyses done in the US, and it's also wrong to ignore the problems with the DH.
I think a lot of this next generation solid state storage level memory is going to wind up being ill suited for the dominant interconnect standards (e.g. DDR, SATA, or PCIe). I also really wonder if it isn't going to take a really long time for the relevant parts of the existing software stack to see serious development to effectively exploit this stuff.
Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss

As someone who never wanted to read negotiation books because I was worried I would try to "win" all the time, I can't tell you how much this book changed my way of thinking. It's affected how I deal with my kids, how I seek resolution in confrontations, and how I listen to people in general.

For anyone with empathy as a strong facet of your personality, I highly recommend reading this book. It's also a fun read, with each chapter's lesson following the events of a hostage negotiation that the author took part in as his role at the FBI.

I'd agree that at least in this case the manufacturers of self driving cars would have the incentive to maintain buffers. They'd be on the hook for lawsuits.

But they aren't the only players in the system. Traffic is a political problem, and how politicians react to traffic issues regularly becomes a campaign issue. I have no problem imagining a world where a politician campaigns on requiring self driving car manufacturers to standardize on rules that reduce traffic.
And men can be condescending to men. Many engineers have a tendency to over-rate how much we know and to under-rate how much the other person knows, and it can come out in lots of ways in lots of interactions. It's not good in any of them.

And the time I did "mansplaining" the worst, I didn't do it because the recipient was female. I did it because she was a manager. I assumed she was only a manager. Big mistake - she wasn't.

I think this is the case for anything where anyone can write a review. The same happens with restaurant reviews, for instance: people affiliated with the restaurant will write glowing, positive reviews to try to drown out the angry 1-star ratings from pissed-off customers.

The thing to do with any kind of rating system like this is to weight the positive reviews far less than the negative reviews. Also read the positive reviews with a critical eye; the ones by "plants" are usually somewhat obvious.

To me the ones that sound more likely to be encountered by a woman are sexual harrassment, being labeled hyper-sensitive, or worrying that gender would have an effect on communication.
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

This just may be my imagined takeaway. But..

There's a theme around creativity existing on, let's call it a plane, and this plane is accessible to anyone. I've yet to think much on if this plane (or, perhaps way of thinking) is the same for everyone or actually shared in some way.

This idea massively shaped my understanding, or feelings towards, the brain, and the immense ability for our own brains to limit or enhance our potential.

To be fair, the author didn't say she worked with Uber, and in fact didn't even out the compan(y/ies) she was complaining about. It seems like she was just trying to advance the conversation on sex and gender in our field, which is an important topic currently.

In my opinion, what we are experiencing is a combination of culture clash between regions of the country with varying expectations on sex and gender, and disagreements on what an equal society is. There are some places with literal gender quotas, others with an equal opportunity hiring method, and yes, some with real sexism and discrimination. How do we choose in what direction our culture goes? Are the differences in gender all cultural, or are there legitimate psychological differences? In a period of growing inequality and low marriage rates, how do we provide for the modern family? All of these are important social questions with many, many different opinions on them. Please try not to approach these topics with the mindset of "political correctness gone awry."
IMHO, tech is a hostile environment with a lot of poor managers. I think the Peter principle applies to a lot of managers in tech. Promoted past their skill set. Just because someone is a good engineer does not mean they will be a good engineering manager. Managing humans with needs, concerns, ideals and life goals is so very different than managing a code-base. Executive leadership needs to consider this when building teams and figure out how to make and/or recruit good managers.

There is `clojure/core.typed` if you want types or `clojure.spec` if you want specs. What I love in Clojure (and in any lisp for that matter) is that you can imlement language features if you need them and the language itself provides you with many but only if you need it (optional dependencies). This gives you flexibility which you can only dream of if you use scala.
That list made think about what would make you feel impostor syndrome. I think it often happens when the rewards you get are disproportionately large compared to the amount of effort you've put in.

No doubt Tom Hanks put in a lot of effort, but fifteen years into his career he was being paid tens of millions of dollars and getting nationally feted to go onto a movie set and do his thing. All of those people, simply because of the scale of the US and how the economic/legal structure operate, were at some point just way more rich or influential than it's natural for anyone to be, often too soon.

The people I've personally known most subject to impostor syndrome are programmers early in their career who slacked off a bit in college who are suddenly making close to or more than a hundred thousand dollars a year to do something they didn't have to work all that hard to be able to do. The sort of people who put in 70 hour weeks even in college never seem to feel it. (Neither do cooks)
Too bad it just didn't happen to be easy.
