As far as I can tell, hospitals recognize it's a problem and are doing what they can in terms of recruitment.
I hate to be mean but the reason argumentation isn't always about facts is because there's the written (most formal) and the spoken (most informal). Along that spectrum you can be as rigorous as a mathematical proof to being fast and loose with emotive appeals with your arguments. But what's important to take home with this idea is that you construct a logically valid and sound argument that's easy to digest but also emotionally comprehensible. Otherwise, you're going to lose your audience. For example, Vox ran a video on renewable energy from a person who is a conservative (part of the Tea Party movement and supported/advocated-for Donald Trump). She pointed out that to get conservatives on the side of mitigating climate change with adopting renewable energy we have to ditch the climate change rhetoric. We have to go for what drives conservatives: competition, cheaper energy, and energy independence. Oddly enough, this holds true back in my home state with Governor Brownback (who I despise) because he's gone against the Kochs with respect to adopting/advocating wind power. Now the wind farms are growing and making a profit for Westar and other power companies in the state. Basically, when trying to convince to an audience you have to know that audience.
I understand people like to play semantic games around this topic, but you are beating up a straw-man.
IMHO, more work should be done on proving properties of programs. If one could make a programming language like Dafny [1] less quirky but more developer-friendly, you can have programs which are both good-performing and proven to be consistent with their specification (but again, quirks in the specification may cause troubles).
Educational courses on High-Frequency Trading
Hey, guys :)

I would like to ask you whether you have any interesting material on High-Frequency Trading. Everything is acceptable - from research papers, to books, courses and etc.

I found an interesting course for beginners and intermediates and am sharing it with you: https://www.udemy.com/high-frequency-trading-dark-pools/?couponCode=HFTDARKPOOLS

Any feedback on interesting sources of information are appreciated. I just want to educate myself more on this topic, because it seems that financial markets are very different from what we are thought at school. I posted such topic on reddit, but it seems that the algo trading group are not so active and I couldn't find any informative resources there.

Cheers!
>the basics of getting it into a package manager should not even be a discussion.

Last time I looked into it, their problem was that Caddy plugins must be configured at compile-time, because runtime plugins seem to be hard to do with Golang (besides RPC). Because there's a handful of Caddy plugins, they'd either have to provide a slim package with no plugins, or ship with all or only some blessed plugins. Obviously all approaches have drawbacks … they discussed the option of shipping their own package manager for Caddy plugins, too (shudder).

See: https://forum.caddyserver.com/t/packaging-caddy/61
>I think I saw a benchmark where it said caddy can handle 2000req/s

Those are application level numbers (e.g. with logic and all).

Caddy should be able to handle an order of magnitude more req/s than that easily.

It's hard to build things without a specific use case in mind. So maybe start with a specific application in mind and build a framework to help with that.

Or, skip the framework and just build the application: if purpose is learning it's probably a better way to go, since it's a more direct use case.
I haven't attended any crypto conferences but, I do work a bit with high school STEM programs and I can tell you.. higher ratio of male to female, BUT, those female students are far more interested in the math / crypto fields than the males (which leads me to believe they will stick to it career wise vs the male students. So it's not too surprising your observations.

That's my reaction: sure it makes a fine headline, but actually declaring a state of emergency has consequences that may not be appropriate. Yes, it is a common first step to receive emergency funding (I doubt that will work here, because it would require Congress to approve that funding). State laws may give the declaration more effect: does it waive regulations, give the state National Guard additional authority, etc.?
That's not at all what he said.

If women are represented in the rest of STEM but not the T - doesn't that challenge the narrative of "social conditioning" being the root cause?

What I mean is, there isn't anyone out there telling women that physics is cool whereas programming is not. My bet is that anyone encouraging their little girl to be a physicists would be equally enthused about electrical engineering.. but I could be wrong.

I think when people decide what a good career would be, they're going off what little knowledge they have. And programmers aren't displayed on TV as big earners - but rather scrawny stinky anti-social dorks. And sadly there's a source of truth to this..

Software just isn't cool. It's actually pretty un-cool. I don't know how to change that.

Not to take anything away from your stories because I don't think that group is the problem (as the Economist wrote in an article, it's the 0.01% not the 1% we should worry about, we are much more top-heavy than we think), I would just like to raise this question: Do you know the difference between advice that works for anyone and advice that works for everyone?

Because I have a strong suspicion this is the former. It only works until everybody starts believing and following it. The American dream, for example. Which stopped working, it is said... because it just doesn't work for everyone?

My point is, what if what you say already happened and didn't pan out, what if too many people tried for it to work? So what we have now is not that everybody is lazy, but that too many people realized the system doesn't work for everyone, only for some. Who those "some" are does not matter, it's not a feudal system where titles are inherited so we have more flexibility and who is on top changes. It's just that there can't be too many. Not because it's completely impossible, but just the way everything is set up currently, which seems to promote a flow to the top instead of "trickle down". I certainly don't provide here a complete model to understand what happens, not even close, I just want to give a nudge, a hint of something else there than "laziness". We are way down the path of an endless feedback cycle.
Harvard's Class Gap
Not sure what you are talking about.

In India. Mechanical engineering sees least enrollment from women. Many times there no girls in the Mech eng class at all. Or worse, 1 or 2 who go and tell other girls not to take up Mech ever.

The issue isn't discrimination at all. You regularly have to do physically demanding work. Welding, Metal cutting work with a myriad other stuff. Of course you may argue Women do physically demanding work all the time. But the point is such women come from a background of poverty which demands such a lifestyle.

If you come from anywhere a above lower-middle class lifestyle the overall lifestyle of your family never prepares you for this.

I don't care how many lego sets you buy for your girl. Nothing prepares for you for a certain things.
If you have any facts to back up that strong assertion, I am sure people are interested. Otherwise, a blanket accusal of 'misogyny' is asinine and nonproductive.

> The rest of the STEM fields --- including mathematics --- have closer to 50/50

Citation needed for this. From a quick look from a paper:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.06196.pdf
it seems like this statement is true at the undergraduate major level, but certainly not true at the doctoral level.

This is particularly relevant as unlike engineering/tech, where a Bachelor's (or less) suffices for the majority of work, the same is certainly not true in mathematics.

As an illustration of this, note that for many people graduate school in mathematics is spent trying to come up to speed with the current research efforts of the community, unlike engineering where one is (generally) expected to be a "producer" once one hits graduate school.

No no no, you separate out the vegetation, if any, and keep it aside. Microwave any non-vegetable remainder for 15-30 seconds, depending on the mass of the burger: just enough to warm the meat. Transfer from microwave to toaster oven in two halves, toast briefly to crisp the buns, re-sizzle the meat, and melt the cheese. Arrange vegetation back in between. Enjoy a McDonald's burger that rivals its freshly served cousin. Finally, sit back and question the life decisions that lead you to putting this much thought into reheating fast food from McDonald's.

I was in a pretty busy McDonalds so we were usually asked to do one more of X when doing X, or two more of Y, or 5 more of Z, ... depending on the rush. That's how we ended up trashing some.

That's because, when doing a big mac for example, it's almost as easy to make one or five on a tray. So better make 5 if you're in a rush, they will likely be fulfilled.

In cool periods we would only produce on command. So no waste. Fresh burgers.

Or we could stop acting as if the metric at the end is what we need to equalize, look at it only as an indicator, and then find issues to fix. If 19/81 is caused by some actual sort of discrimination, we can fix which ever issues we identify. Just as we can with the 66/33 split.

Thanks for that reply. That makes sense. My comments about the editor were deliberately made from the perspective of the end user. Whilst I used hyperbole to emphasize the fact that the editor was the main culprit, I agree things usually are not that simple.

However, the key point I was trying to make still stands which is that irrespective of the state of the underlying code/Gecko editor components etc., etc., for some reason third party developers (here BlueGriffon's developers) have managed to tame the code in a much more successful way than Mozilla itself has done. The implication being that as principal developer Mozilla should have been able to do a better job than third party developers should. Thus, it amply demonstrates Mozilla's lack of commitment to the Thunderbird project per se (and that this has been so for a very long time (ipso facto, so have the bugs/problems) without Mozilla bothering to attend to them).

I am not a Thunderbird add-ons developer/TB code expert so there's little point me attempting it, but it would be very informative to find out why the BG editor works and the TB one is so brain-dead. As I see it, it's important to cut to the core of these problems if for no other reason than to show the skeptics or those who've simple requirements and find little or no problem with TB that there are real longstanding problems with Thunderbird and that some of us are not just being argumentative for the sake of it.
This doesn't preclude McDonalds from holding risk. For a long time people said "Buy Kmart and Sears because the value of their real estate is more than their stock values." Then the real estate market tanks.... Real estate is an illiquid investment.

The appeal is huge for a huge number of people. It's an opinionated web server. I've used nginx for probably 6-7 years, and not once have I done something I'd consider that special (I've setup fpm, passenger, gzipping of content, TLS, regenerating my DH param, etc).

Every single thing I've done, could be implemented in an opinionated away by the web server. I'd love to just say "php" and have it do the right thing.

In fact, I'd go as far as to say, it would be amazing if I could just say "proxy ____ drupal" instead of php, and it'll add the drupal rules as well.

We already have a financial system structured to immensely benefit those who came up with and control currencies. With traditional currencies this is an ongoing benefit, not just a one time return on investment.

The fundamental question is whether this is correlation or causation.

For example, in general more secular countries (regardless of religion) have "better" women's rights. However does this mean that religion causes mistreatment of women? Or is it that more developed countries are generally both more secular and have more women's rights?

Predominantly Christian western countries have dominated the 21st century as much through historical accident as through merit. Had the Renaissance began in Constantinople instead of Florence we may be living in a very different world today and questioning why all these Christian countries have such a poor track record on women's rights.
