I went into programming because I saw how well paid a profession it would be. I could have done art or linguistics or something else. I enjoy it too, but I don't expect to be paid well for making videogames so I also do work I enjoy less that pays better.

I agree with you that writers of valuable content should be compensated better, but I don't understand this attitude that one should be able to go into any job you want and expect to make a living. If you write something that people want, don't give it to them until they pay for it.

Did the publisher in Amelia's case just screw her in negotiations, or do they always underpay their writers and backload it to royalties?
I think the most valuable thing you can possibly own in a full blown collapse situation is a well stocked seed bank.
I can second that.

Harvard team leads breakthrough on the genetics of parenting
well, if you work at the company that does have a unionized workforce, then you do receive the benefits that a union negotiated. So, sure, you don't have to join the union, but it wouldn't be fair to receive the benefits of the other union members collective bargaining, while not paying into it yourself.

On the other hand, if you _still_ think that's somehow unfair, you can go to one of those "right to work" states....
Why on earth is this being downvoted?
Well the idea of a stay at home parent is that child care is work. You can either pay someone or do it yourself, in which case you're doing the job you would have paid someone else to do.
There are power structures inside a union that may not align with your own interests.

As an analogy, nations are made up or citizens, but that doesn't mean they are aligned with any individual citizen.
I don't disagree with you, I'm just stating why people make those statements. I would go even further than just frats/sorities, that type language isn't uncommon with college aged people.

I'm not sure what you mean by your last statement. All I was saying is that I'm not trying to insult frats, it's just this language is associated with frats and its how people describe it. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, different groups will always have dialectical quirks like that.
Might as well throw away that three comma painting and those comma pillows, eh? (Looking forward to season 4!!)

Ironic in a sense that "misogynist" Russian society is "better" at "encouraging women into tech" than enlightened Brave New World of the West.
That's true, but a lot of the classic containers-not-containing issues (/sysfs hacks to get into the parent kernel etc) are prevented by SELinux policies.

See https://blog.openshift.com/securing-dockers-future-with-seli...
I (mostly) think that people are taking it too far. "Containerization" is an old concept that has been done much better more than once (cf. Solaris/Illumos Zones and FreeBSD jails; I'll refrain from classifying classic chroots as "much better" though it's debatable).

Kubernetes is massively overcomplicated and has bitten off an offensively oversized problem space. The arrogance is staggering.

Ultimately, VMs and containers are attempting to solve the same basic problems, and while containers do have some cool features, there is no way that they justify the gross tradeoffs people are making in service of the fad.
It's a Yogi Berra-ism.
A low earth orbit space station is exploring space as much as a cavemen on the shore up to his ankles is exploring the ocean. I'd rather send robots to Saturn's moons than people 250 miles away from the earth's surface.

Our first few USBC MBP users in our office are having a ton of "fun" with that. Also the "which monitors do and don't work with this thing? Which adapter(s) do I need for this one again? Damnit that didn't work, lemme try this other one..." game. TONS of fun.
Late edit: I've said 'Red Shift' above, I mean Red Hat's OpenShift.

Tech has too many edgy code names.
Not actually been - but from observations of Russians I've seen I'd also say that:

a) Intelligence is strongly valued in general, with women being no exception. There is no native faux-ironic 'im a math geek nurrrg so i have to be awkward because noone understands me' or 'look at the nerd what a dork' culture..

b) Russian women aren't afraid of being strong willed, and this is also valued

c) Russian women seem to have a stronger notion of 'womanhood' and 'sisterhood' - similarly 'adulthood' and 'solidarity' are more generally valued - so hiding behind or supporting immaturity and selfishly infighting is less dominant/accepted

d) The general cultural philosophy is (despite bad eggs as anywhere) a focus on personal excellence and service to community/society/nation, rather than a desire for personal gratification according to abstract self-selected individual preferences

e) People call out BS when they see it, and this is considered a good thing, rather than 'being rude' or 'disrespecting everyones right to their own opinion'

So while perhaps sexist jokes and activities are allowed in some areas, in other areas actually acting on them - or letting them get to you or not calling them out in others - is dishonourable, a personal 'cultural liability' (e.g. cause for being ostracised), and to be avoided.

Of course there are exceptions everywhere, and this is observation and generalization - not an absolute statement of fact, also put with a bit of an ideal spin to underscore the argument..

This would be a huge thing in places where there isn't a good free bank account-to-bank account money transfer app. which I assume is why facebook is also eyeing such things.
As I've already quoted, you suggested that the imbalance may be coming from prejudice by men against women.

In a subsequent response to a comment where I pointed out the disparity between "equality" initiatives in male and female dominant industries, you dismissed my argument as whataboutism with an anecdote about your wife and said that "nobody's ignoring anything".

I would like to know more about Japanese schools. You seem to know about Japanese culture a great deal. Is there any material (fiction, non-fiction) accessible in English that talks of this 'national character building' occurring at Japanese schools.
It's a distance from optimal, making it worse no matter which direction it is.
If a rogue journalist gets "Donald Trump is great" article published in NYT, bypassing the Editorial board, and 95% of the audience and Editorial board leaves and subscribes to a 'New New York Times' paper started by the same editorial team, has it undermined 'Free Speech'?

Has it undermined their motto "All the news that's fit to print"? Keep in mind, the old NYT still exists with 5% of original capacity.
While it's certainly not unreasonable, the fact that current societies - even very equal ones - show gender roles is hardly good evidence, or makes the social construction theory untenable. All of our societies are also a continuum stretching for millennia, so it's very hard to say what a truly equal society looks like, let alone predict how people would behave in it.

In the event of a societal collapse so great that no money is usable, it's pretty hard to imagine people caring about Bitcoin. There might not even be power in this weird Mad Max scenario. They'd probably want to barter for goods.
It's not censorship - it's called consensus.

Look back to the screenshot in my post. Censorship is when you conceal information. The screenshot clearly specifies a yes/no choice without leaning to any choice. (it specifies you can use any chains you want, both buttons are blue).

If only the bitcoin core developers were as brave as that to put something like this in their client and let the community reach consensus! "Hi, we are over capacity. Do you want bigger blocks? Yes / No". Instead, we see any post that doesn't fit their narrative deleted. Now that's censorship.
How to Create MarcoPolo App with React Native
This project will cover the development for the mobile app of Marco Polo. Marco Polo is an app that will connect outdoor enthusiasts to create community, create events and travel together with people from all over the world. App will be developed using react native. I will be using redux as well since its react after all. Backend is developed in Nodejs using Hapijs and mongodb. This is relevant since I will be building endpoints for the app as well.

>I know this point-view might be seen as judgemental,

It is judgmental.

>it's just that I see people not contributing back to society with their work-time as not giving it all

Child-rearing has societal benefits. It's one of the key reasons why children from two parent-households do significantly better on average than children from one. Either they get the benefit of dual income or a full-time parent.

>I've heard my ~84-year-old peasant grandma' saying that she was very upset that her legs were hurting her because she wanted to continue working

I believe that but it's a choice.
Why Is the Student-Veteran Graduation Rate So Low?
I don't know much aboute Etherium but wouldn't he be owner of a substantial fraction of the blockchain at that point?

If so, he can't sell it without tanking the value so hard he'd never be able to get a decent fraction of its "worth".
I don't think it's an IRL issue really either. Recently there was that uber article. But in general I don't really see it or it's usually exaggerated.

People have been making jokes since the beginning of time.
Hmm, I'm going swim against the current and say I like the fact that it's called a browser. I like this because it is a browser, albeit not a web browser.

I think this is exactly what's missing from blockchain-derived technologies: a simple human interface to remote resources. More to the point, calling this thing a browser anchors it firmly into a well-known context. This should be useful for explaining it to our parents.
Awesome sauce.

This is all spot on. The beauty of it is the real friends you make and what it is all worth.

There are calls I answered at O'dark thirty 10 years ago that are HUGE today.

People starting careers, people I helped to get there. They remember, and when I need or ask, they return consideration I gave them.

Or, I walk into a booming department, shake hands with the person building it, and we go have a lunch to chat about the early days.. They share all they are doing, and it's awesome.

When people know you know it makes sense to get there more than just do a deal, everyone values that.
Is there an argument that it should be?
> If I want someone to pay me for programming, I have to write something they want. The same is true for writers.

Yes, although the argument in this particular thread is that writing is ~broadly~ underrewarded and that is OK because markets. Attempting to influence a market to reward people better is considered to be a bad thing - the only way people should be able to do that is by not participating in the market, according to many. Unless it's to do with programming. But not game development.
I'm thinking if we ever figure out a way to reduce airport foot prints it could drastically drop housing costs. There are hundreds? Of acres of prime urbanish land.

Look at Boston for example. I wonder if they take the opportunity cost of having an airport there into the cost of flying? That land could be worth 100 billion??
>Maybe chill out a bit on the accusatory kneejerk reaction, this is meant to be a forum for civil discussion.

Without fail, during any discussion about tech and gender on these boards, "nice guys" come out of the woodwork as staunch advocates of equality in the workplace, their message couched in accusatory and bullying language.

I'll bet they're closer to being part of the problem with the industry, rather than the solution.
> The former-Communist East-European country I lived in as a kid was a lot more egalitarian than most of present-day Western countries and the women were treated pretty much the same as men were when it came to work.

This. Soviet block was also mostly atheist, which affected this egalitarianism positively as well (and opposite in places like the US). This still largely remains, even with Orthodox Church reemerging and realigning with the government (at least in Russia).
Look at how M-Pesa is used in Kenya. Token has been available for a single day, of course no one uses it yet.
In what way is it exploitative? If it works, which it may well do, it could provide a very valuable service to these people who could greatly benefit from it.
They aren't forcing these people to use token, they're trying to create a viable business that provides them a service.
Common Pitfalls in Elixir Coding
Yes, but that doesn't have anything to do with just age, which is what the parent was trying to assert. People do talk like this, but certainly not everyone. Outside of actual frats and sororities in colleges, this isn't common at all except in jest.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the whole idea behind the circular part was so that doing a crosswind landing would be "easier", because you could setup the landing so the crosswind pushes your towards the center...
Not only that, but the state of Louisiana voted for Trump in the election. For them to be complaining about rising sea levels is the height of hypocrisy. They don't believe in climate change, so how can they complain about rising sea levels?
We really have to start rendering READMEs on crates.io...
Bull.

The question as-is ("How do you create a memory leak in java?") is poorly constructed and will, a significant portion of time, lead down the wrong path when interviewing. Both you and the interviewee have to make assumptions.

If you want to know if they have had to deal optimizing memory usage, simply ask. What was the problem? How did you detect it? How did you solve it? No ambiguity, no assumptions.

"It's a very tellin question if they claim Java experience and can't say anything coherent about leaks or "unintentionally reachable" objects."

You didn't answer the root of the OPs question -- why is that knowledge important to the application you are building or the work you are doing? Sorry, you failed his interview...

H-1B visa debate: India says it’s a trade and services issue
It's not as simple as you may think. There have been problems with coastal erosion in south LA long before anyone even brought up the idea of global warming. As another poster mentioned, creating canals through the marshes lets salt/brackish water come further inland than it would have (especially with hurricanes). The salt water kills some of the vegetation that holds the marsh together. Another big factor is dredging years ago. Dredging was done as part of creating canals, but also to gather shells that were used for decades to make 'gravel' roads and such. Probably most significant of all (as pointed out by others) was putting in river control structures (primarily levees) long ago by Army Corps of Engineers. The prevents the natural build-up of silt, sediment, and alluvial soil that built up the river plains and deltas.

All of these things occurred long before there was any discussion of global warming. The state can be blamed for excessive dredging and cutting canals, but hindsight is 20/20. Putting in river control structures was considered the right thing to do back then (Mississippi River levees were built in 1800s), and certainly was not only done by those in LA.

Now comes global warming/climate change and it complicates the picture even more. The solutions to all of these problems are not mutually exclusive. Coastal erosion exacerbates the problem of rising seas for coastal areas.

Another tricky factor is where people should and should not live. It's easy (and logical) to say people shouldn't live in areas prone to heavy flooding, and if they do they should accept the possibility of flooding as a consequence of their decision. For example, the lower 9th ward in New Orleans that was completely flooded in Hurricane Katrina was known to be susceptible to major flooding (it had happened at least once before in the 1920's or thereabouts). The majority of the people that live there are poor, their families have been there all their lives, and most probably don't have the means to pick up and go someplace else.

Of course LA residents are responsible for many of these things that have occurred over very long periods of time. But when you consider the full story and where they are today, it's not like the problems in the coastal areas are only the result of global warming.
How shared learning saved my life
Only if they have easy access to Ethereum tokens, which is doubtful. Bitcoin is a lot easier to obtain than Ethereum is, usually people have to buy Bitcoin to buy Ethereum, that's a lot of effort just to use an app.
> they are using Russian designs

Not at all. An important and telling detail: pintle injector is almost never used in Russia, but standard for Merlins. Or you can look into gas generator cycle, which isn't used for today's Russian kerosene engines except RD-107 family, which have separate components for turbopumps and pressurization.
Your last paragraph, I feel, is focusing too much on the individual, direct contribution and ignoring the effect a person staying at home can have on their family. By taking care of their auxilliary needs and letting them focus on their core tasks (work, school, etc.), the increase in productivity of the family as a whole can exceed that of a direct individual's contribution. I think of it as a project manager for the family - they don't directly contribute to the development of a project, but they handle the overhead that would otherwise thrash their developers.
I'd only be comfortable with taxing carbon emissions from flights if all of the tax money was directly funneled into clean energy research and development. Otherwise, it's just going into the pockets of politicians and funding defense contractors.
With respect, it is some time since I've read the various email RFCs (822/2822/1123 etc.), but I cannot recall any of these email standards saying that emails (a) have to be short and (b) that formatting doesn't matter. In fact, there are numbers of RFC standards that actually specify the standards for text formatting, for example, the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standards have allowed 'rich text' formatting in emails for years now.

Thus, to be compliant, email clients should comply with these email standards—this means their editors should also format text to those standards. I contend that there is indisputable evidence that Thunderbird does not fully comply with these internet standards by a considerable margin (nor has it ever done so). Moreover, in parts, Thunderbird is so bad/non-compliant that it is essentially not fit for purpose.

This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that some users will only ever use a subset of those features [standards] when composing emails.

As long as users comply with the email standards, they are entitled to use any formatting they so desire. Whilst many emails are short, the fact is that there are those who often send highly formatted emails of many pages in length.

As fauigerzigerk says, in many instances, attachments are often not suitable so they must be sent in-line. This then requires the editor to handle in-line text/images etc. correctly (Thunderbird does not do this without fault).
Perhaps before doing such a major change, Mozilla, who hosts and awful lot of the extensions, could have done some code analysis on said extensions to determine what APIs were needed to make a smooth transition. Saying WE can add suggestions is a foolish thing to ask users when they had a community of developers and the actual code to do an analysis on. Blaming users is poor form.
Same here - both glare and low resolution have been problematic.
I see that someone has tried to deal with the resolution, though:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/65p6n9/google_phot...
It may be possible technically. I doubt it's possible in reality: they've probably made promises to a bunch of people over the years that this is how it works. People furious that Their Content is appearing somewhere else and go straight into lawyers on the first email.
This is the first time I've seen the You Will ads, they're awesome! Modulo some laughable glitches like paying the toll with a cc in the car and phone booth video calling. But the fact that the majority of the predictions were spot on makes these oversights even more interesting.

Most of what the ads predicted became reality in 10-15 years, i.e. 2003-2008. Where are the ads that predict technology for 2020?
That is a terrible example. That's implying that you can just sit on your ass all day and just watch TV and you have a 50% shot at success.
> owner of a substantial fraction of the blockchain

No, the blockchain is the data structure that stores historical transactions.

He could be a large owner of the circulating currency, and he would face issues trying to sell a huge chunk of value all at once. The crypto markets are not very liquid compared with mature financial markets.
How does that statement even make sense?

If sexism exists, and Russia is top-dollar chauvinist, why would that not transfer to the workplace?

Russian people objectify women perhaps more than in the West, but they don't treat them as sex objects in the way that demands they be good for nothing except sex. Which is what you find in the West and other parts of the world. They're fine with them being sex objects, but they're also fine with them going out and being people and getting paper.
