Not really. There are often default robots.txt files that the system just puts there in the course of building a default website.

The legally "right" way to do things is only archiving sites that give explicit permission to do so. But then, for all intents and purposes, you can't have a web archive. So we have the current ask forgiveness rather than permission system which works fine most of the time for organizations like the IA and AT. But it does mean that someone like the IA is inclined to err on the side of removing content if someone objects.

I don't know how true this is now, but there's plenty of Soviet propaganda aimed at women telling them how they're an important part of the workforce too. They were certainly specially encouraged to go into "technology" of the time (or industry, as it was more commonly known in Soviet times).

Was in the middle of posting a longer comment, but the reason I submitted this article was disappointment at seeing this kind of pseudoscience coming from anybody associated with Yale.

To start with a premise (in this case: 'men and women are exactly the same except for genitalia'), and to accept only that data which supports that premise is what is "lazy". This mode of thought is indeed "primitive" as it describes most of human understanding which predated science and the scientific method.

This discussion must be about gender differences. And those differences must include desire, drive, taste and preference. To accept as a premise that 'there are no differences' is anti-scientific as it is not an observable phenomenon. This unsupported belief is based upon fringe theory held in a minority of countries -- including the US and (some parts of) northern Europe.

Holding the belief in 100% gender-sameness up as a fundamentalist truth, and blasting all those who oppose it as "sexist" does not make this belief any more valid. Quite the opposite: It vividly illustrates its similarity to other primitive, pre-science (and mostly religious) belief systems.

The onus is not upon me to present this argument in a palatable, non-offensive way. Science is not PC.

The onus is upon you rather, to not be offended. Offense is offensive in a context of science.

You are speculating as much as I am about what f4ker's cryptic and uninformative post actually meant. If he meant what you think he meant, he could simply have written a note about what, specifically, in the NPR article is simplistic.

I do not see any way around news sources being simplified, to some extent, about everything, and you appear to agree. Do you think NPR's news is notably "not great" in that regard? Its liberal bias shows, but not in a way that strikes me as deceptive.

McDonalds had all sorts of little charts that averaged sales rates per hour, item rates within that hour etc, but a good employee running the "bin" was far better than someone who just used the charts.

With clang you can use -Rpass family of flags to get information about missed and used optimization opportunities. Although it will not print absolutely everything (trivial optimizations will be omitted). Other compilers have other options, ICC for example is able to generate optimization reports.
The article totally misses the point. It just picks a single area and wonders why in this particular area women and men are more equal in Russia than in the West. By asking such a narrow question you will never get the right answer. The right answer is that in Russia there is more gender equality in general and therefore in every particular area too.

For instance, from a women-in-business study it follows that the proportion of female-ocuppied senior management positions in Russia is 47% while in the US it's 23% and in UK it's 19%.

https://www.grantthornton.global/en/insights/articles/women-...

A quote from it:

"Eastern Europe continues to top the rankings (see figure 3), with Russia in the lead as the only country in which every business has a woman on its senior leadership team. In Poland, the proportion of senior roles held by women has improved by six percent to 40%. The region owes some of its strong performance to the legacy of communist principles which have placed women as equals for generations."

Of course, such a conclusion goes against the main-stream narrative of communism being all about abuse and human rights violations while the West being the undisputed champion of human rights. So the BBC article just have to provide the following paragraph:

"While Russia is doing something right, it's still not there yet in terms of gender parity."

What is this about? Nothing. Whatever the subject is BBC must retain some reservations about Russia however unsubstantiated they are.

On an earlier idea I had, I wanted to do something with tech recruiters. They were always calling me or emailing me, so I thought it would be pretty easy to talk to them since they were coming to me. I build a script that I semi memorized based off the template in the Running Lean book. I adapted it for this industry. I also have a paper form where I could fill in the answers.

I would schedule a phone meeting or in person meeting, and I would run through the script. After the meeting I would quickly write down all the answers off the top of my head while it was still fresh.

I did this for about 30 interviews, and then I created an answer matrix in a spreadsheet. My goal was to try to see if there were any common problems among the majority of people I talked to. The answer ended up being a big NO, but I did not write a single line of code in this process. It did save me a ton of pain in the long run doing this up front.
I lived in LA for several years. Global warming is a factor in receding coastlines worldwide, but on this particular coastline it's a very small factor relative to the complete mismanagement of waterways and marsh ecosystems. As it goes on, rising sea levels will play a bigger role in a large part of Louisiana disappearing, but right now the crisis is a different man made disaster. 20cm over a century is practically nothing for a state where a good chunk of the population lives a dozen feet below sea level and a couple dozen feet below the river.

Why It's Better to Write for the Heart Than for the Algorithms
Containers use LXC in the Linux kernel underneath. Overhead is even lower than HVM virtualization which is a couple percent for most things. Containers are really just a smarter way of dividing resources between users on a shared linux box, something that's been going on since the dawn of time.

It might add another 1% overhead for most tasks to run containers on HVM virtual machines.

The one giant exception is network performance. The network is usually virtualized at the VM level, unless you have an "enhanced networking" VM with SR-IOV enabled. For containers it's virtualized a second time.

This makes the combo potentially terrible if you're trying to run high bandwidth stuff on low performance VM's.

I still like the combo because it allows you to give the big ole finger to AWS if they try to lock you in one day. Since your containers are isolated from the VM you can easily spin them up pretty much anywhere else.

That's a perfectly fair question.

However I could have phrased it more clearly.

> Climate change takes quite a long time

It really doesn't, when you have 7 billion people working hard to make the climate change as quickly as they can, and unfortunately we've already spent half a century knowing about the problem and doing nothing. The whole point is that we've changed major climatic change from a geological time frame to a human-scale time frame.

You'll see major upheaval as a result of climate change in your lifetime, and your children will see much worse.

The storm predictions, incidentally, are quite safe - no chance of them being wrong. Higher sea surface temperatures will absolutely lead to more frequent and violent storms; there's no chance at all of that not happening.
I don't think this is accurate. The main use case for Bitcoin seems to be remittances and savings for the rich and middle-class in countries with unstable currencies, not grocery store payments. Compared to USD, it's cumbersome and expensive, but compared to gold or Western Union, it's clearly better.
Quantum is the name of the new web engine for Firefox. It started landing in the current release, and will land piece by piece over the next several releases. Servo is related because several of the big parts of this new engine are taken directly from Servo.

I don't know that any Servo code is shipping today, but a few little things will happen like the url parser.

The first big pieces will be the style system (Quantum Style or Stylo) and WebRender (Quantum Render), in that order. Once the style system is done, it probably makes sense to figure out how to get Servo's layout engine into Quantum, although that is a larger project since it requires us to implement a few large bits of layout that aren't done in Servo yet.

There's a lot of main things in Servo, but if we had style, layout, and WebRender, that would be a sizeable chunk. Our DOM engine and basic architecture is also pretty interesting, but it's unclear how to move that over incrementally.

Containers don't actually run directly on hardware with GCE - there's still a virtualization layer in-between.

No, they don't. Browsers have been using RAII and smart pointers for years and years. The memory management-related vulnerabilities keep happening.

I'm aware that you are a celebrity here and I'm a nobody.

And I agree with you in a lot of things, including that we should make workplaces more inclusive.

Think about this: if someone else behaved like you are doing now (edit: in this whole thread) - and wasn't a celebrity or otherwise safe - they might very well have to face unpleasant consequences (edit: was something like might very well have to find a new job).
As a Russian, I have survived the USSR economic collapse. Having a stash of gold would be handy (dangerous, as it would have put a mark on your back, but still preferable to holding any amount of Soviet money, which became worthless in mere months.) Gold was traded for great value in the harshest of times there.
They also get paid really well because Hollywood makes a lot of money and the national labour board ruled that most of the production companies in Hollywood HAVE to use that guild.

It's not clear to me who this technical writers union would be negotiating with, or why they'd have leverage over that entity. O'Reilly obviously has a limited pool of people it can find to write a book about SVG, but that also implies those people should have leverage to command more than a $4000 advance without needing to unionize.
