It is paid for by businesses as well, in that every person who takes that leave potentially creates another headcount requirement to fill the gap.

Something between the European standard expectation of a year's leave and the American top-end norm of 12/6 primary/secondary is probably the right answer here.

But this is all a tangent. It is totally unreasonable to criticize Basecamp for policies that are on the high side of normal in the market they operate in.

Really, what's happening is that Basecamp has been forthright about something most companies are deliberately opaque about, and people on message boards are beating them up for it. If their policies were bad, I wouldn't care, but their policies on parental leave are in fact quite good for this market, so this is some bullshit.
I've always wondered this as well, and it seems to me that most just take it as an accepted article of faith. Even (In my opinion) contrary to current evidence.
Finding the energy to work on your side hustle
You still have a headcount issue. You need to hire someone to fill in, but can't hire them full time without a full additional job available. Temporary employees result in a lot of wasted job training and investment.
Long time embedded Linux developer here.

This article exaggerates the undesirability of cross-compiling from x86 to ARM. It requires a bit of a conceptual shift, but once your toolchain is set up workflow is practically the same. Debugging is a bit trickier, but most issues can be sorted out on x86 before cross-compiling. It's definitely not like developing for Windows on a Mac.

There may be a compelling case for a PC that consumes less energy​ by using an ARM CPU, though peripherals like DDR RAM, SSD and video card will use the same energy regardless of CPU architecture.
Don't get too nervous - it will just make you sweat more
Or you've actually been surprised.
I don't know: it seems like a lot of America's logistics and infrastructure design choices are made with equal consideration to inland and coastal populations, despite unequal size. For example, coastal US cities are designed for car travel despite their density, presumably because that makes them more accessible to "the average US citizen" who lives inland and goes everywhere by car.

What you are also glossing over are the precedence rules for operators. In this case it works in favor of your point and LISP indeed needs more parens.

However in other situations, you might need to re-parenthesize (language with flat precedence like APL) or consult your favorite chart[0] in order to figure out what is going on.

> One of my dreams is building a hybrid of RDBMS and Protocol Buffers.

That's actually one my goal with https://github.com/jimktrains/drsdb. All communication would be done via protocol buffers and schemas could be created or loaded at runtime to be verified and used.

The primary goal begin a distributed RDBMS written in rust.
Are you guys open to talking with non-Python developers? I'd love to chat, but I'm not a Python guy (Ruby, JS and Go mainly).
How about making your argument without shifting it to the other side of the globe.

The brand new regulations that have been fought by the same people introducing this bill haven't been effective? Duh, they weren't even in existence long enough.

Sure the best way would be for our lawmakers to actually make laws protecting privacy and providing basic consumer protections rather than relying on the FCC, but Congress is almost completely dysfunctional.

I think the quick and dirty answer is yes, although I doubt I would structure things the same way as a normal thread pool.

If you think about the heart of the problem, it is really synchronization, and that only needs to happen in certain places in programs. Anything you can break up into pieces that can be transformed independently can be leveraged for concurrency, which also implies that independent stages in a pipeline can be concurrent as well.
Good questions. You should post an AskHN for this.

Someday we'll have "problem-solving" classes in elementary schools to help teach those basics; and better unambiguous communication, etc. One habit that's been well-documented for a long while is that the best problem-solvers take more time being sure they've understood the problem correctly and settling on an optimal approach before charging in doing the work.

The best habits that often spring from good character - I agree with Bourne on that - those with neurotic motivations or insecurities may choose "solutions" that show off their ability with some extra arabesques, rather than taking a more straightforward path that's best for the company, for example. Not to mention being willing to possibly embarrass yourself by asking what may or may not be "dumb questions." That's huge.
I don't believe this at all. I have friends who work for Google from acquired companies and they're no where near this.
Or that they aren't. It doesn't mean anything. There is no conclusion about the subject matter of the study which it is able to support, and that's why it was withdrawn.

Can you cite a study of similar import which tends to contradict this paper's null hypothesis?
100% agreement from me.
Exactly, it raises the question of how often you can take (m|p)aternity leave successively. For a lot of people, if you're guaranteed a year to eighteen months of paid leave every time you get pregnant, and you get to come back to your job at the end of it, then when you get married and want to start a family, you could ghost for four or five years.

I'm not sure that'd be a bad thing, in the grand scheme of things for society - childcare is an unbelievable racket, and we'd probably be better off if parents could actually raise their children instead of having to foist them off on strangers 9-5. But it'd be ruinous for businesses.
