really? i often see people warning others to stay away from game development, as i often hear that it favors college grads and churns through they by pushing the boundaries of burnout and high expectations.

I do think that its partially because game dev is probably one of the more fun types of programming, and because of this the market has become flooded with people wanting to develop games.

As for embedded, is that something that someone with little funds is capable of doing on their own? are we talking about doing some arduino projects and then getting a junior embedded dev role? or what does that path look like?

With games its pretty straightforward at least, a single person could reasonably make a small game, and thats probably a reasonable basis on which hiring decisions could be influenced, but im not sure what the path for an embedded developer would be

Thanks for your input!
Interesting.

Small/Medium companies here don't really care about that stuff in fact I don't think anywhere I've worked has ever considered that stuff.

Even if you don't think 100% of laws are sacred, you can still draw a dividing line somewhere. A rational, consistent dividing line.

Anyway, the guy made it clear he had ethical problems with it because he could see how it was unfair to whoever ended up buying the car. So he wasn't avoiding it just because it was illegal.
In philosophy of ethics, this is still something people think about.

In utilitarian style ethics, the ends (mostly) justify the means, so if in lying you are overall increasing utility/happiness for more people than if you told the truth, then it would be considered an ethical action.

By contrast, Kant's Categorical Imperative states "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law". By that logic, lying is viewed as an unethical action, because if everyone lied then no one would trust each other, resulting in an unworkable universe.

There's a lot more to both sides and many attempts to create more nuanced systems, but ethics is and will likely continue to be an important field of study with not a lot of hard answers.

For intrusion detection, a DoS attack probably isn't that big of a deal. The system can simply alert if the sensor goes offline.

This will turn into alerts in network or power outages, but that might be desirable for he same reasons.
Interesting, playing around with that shows it's a lot tighter in Britain - where it's also the other way around in the past tense by quite a margin. (Likewise in the USA until recently.)

I'm British, so maybe that explains my initial confusion.
Unfortunately, every single difference of any significance is often took to be sexist and (of course) wrong sexist.

Why are the top 100 chess players men? Sexism. Why are there more male than female programmers? Sexism. In non-romance movies, why are there more male leads? Sexism.

There is legitimate wrongful sexism, but they aren't usually found in first world countries.

It's as if we ever agreed there was a significant innate difference between the sexes (or races for that matter), the world would come crashing down and put us in the Stone Age.

What's wrong with that story? It'd be more interesting than the inverse actually, because it's plausible but less played out.

Here's a story not so dissimilar if you don't believe it's plausible. Sounds like a script that would write itself:

> OK, how about this. Buy a house, and offer it up for rent at twice the going rate. See how easy you find it to get a tenant

You say that as if it's ridiculous, but that is literally happening in many cities right now, word-for-word exactly as you described.

"OK, how about this. Buy up the municipal water supply and offer it at twice the going rate. See how easy it is to get people to pay the water bill" -- it turns out everyone who can possibly pay, will still pay. Because water, like housing, is a basic human necessity.
It's easy to make an impressive looking list of responsibilities for administrative offices. The thing is many of those bullet points include words like "help", "support", "promote", and "oversee". It's very hard to judge just how much work is going into those things and how important it is. You can have endless rows of "support" staff doing important sounding things that are actually totally superfluous to getting actual productive work done.

We had 2 ovens in our last office. They got used once that i can remember. No-one wants to deal with bringing in all the materials to cook an oven meal and no-one wants to deal with all the cleaning afterwards... I'm not bringing in my pans, knives, cutting boards, spices, vegetables, meats, starches etc. to work, to cook one meal. No-one else is either. So you've got a large expensive hole in the wall that no-one uses. Get a second microwave instead. ;)

Always treat people as people. If you're treating someone as a "means to an end" then you're not treating them humanely. That's exactly the way to win enemies and violent tendencies. It goes the same with towns and cities in aggregate.

Totally, I mean, Obama's FCC and internet policy was completely on point, the unceasing vigilance to protect encryption and the snowden and wikileaks affairs really showed us that under his administration internet freedom and protection from dragnet surveillance was absolutely a top priority. The massive focus on these issues both in his campaign after bush as well as the continuation of making these issues a top priority in the Sanders and Hillary camps during the last cycle only proves this point even more, and I can only credit the well informed and highly vocal supporters of each candidate for making this the case.

Glad you made this point, I was thinking the same thing but too intimidated by the sheer number of the overwhelming majority of pro-trump neo-facists on this site!

Can you? I'm not sure most people are as consistent with their views on what laws are "good" or "bad" as you might think. Most people tend to judge the morality of their actions by intent, and judge the morality of others' actions by consequence, and thus form a picture of "I am more moral than most people". I'm sure that a deep analysis of pretty much anyone's morality will show a few logical inconsistencies.

There is a difference between law on one side and ethical rules on the other side. Some people disagree with some law and consider it a result of unjust lobbying or outright corruption. Then, breaking that law is not something I would consider unethical.

Yes, and women commit the majority of infanticides.

Still, doesn't change the fact that most violent agressors (and victims of violent crime) are men.
It's not unreasonable to not care about torrents and deeply care about software that takes away people's privacy. It is possible to draw ethical lines, like not building surveillance tools.
That's a pretty narrow reading of making it "hard for computers" to do something.

Think of it this way: the security measures on most homes are completely inadequate to stop a determined attacker. Nevertheless, they work because most attacks are opportunistic.

Yes it was in Finland. I never tried the sauna myself tho. Not a big sauna person.
I know I can't write a comment that will settle this particular controversy but I feel compelled to point out that it's only on an internet message board that someone could believe that an elaborate shakedown involving the creation a record of having ordered and verified multiple assassinations, a shakedown in which your eventual vindication depends on a favorable account from the person shaking you down, is the less likely explanation of events than someone simply ordering someone's assassination --- which, if you follow the news, is something that happens all the time, and something that almost always has this exact outcome.

This particular debate reminds me of the epistemological certainty people had about Hans Reiser's serial killer friend, and the notion that the police were fixated on Reiser and not the serial killer because they were put off by nerds.

Was going to buy the calculations in as an API because it was an opaque government standard, API turned out to be incomplete after we bought it, rang them up to ask why "oh we are getting out of that side of the business".

I had two weeks to build out an API (over Christmas) that implemented a government calculation that was implemented in one 200 page PDF[1] and then modified in another two, total calculation had 44 individual steps referring to several dozen data tables some with hundreds of values.

I did it with a day to spare.

It was probably the single greatest pure technical programming I've done in my career.

You also have to compare NASA's incredible success rate to others in their field. In 2013, China's Yutu moon rover broke down in less than a month. In 2014, the ESA's Philae lander failed to launch its harpoons and fire the thruster necessary to attach the probe to the comet's surface, and ultimately bounced into a dark crater. In 2011, Russia's ambitious Phobos-Grunt mission to return a sample of Martian soil never got beyond low Earth orbit because of a rocket misfire.

I'm not saying other space agencies aren't doing impressive and amazing work. (Both Yutu and Philae were able to keep functioning and achieve at least some of their mission objectives.) I'm just saying space exploration is Really Hard. And NASA and its partners keep succeeding, even when they try crazy new things, like landing the SUV-sized Curiosity rover with the Rube Goldberg-like "Sky Crane maneuver", or sending a nearly two-decade-old spacecraft through the narrow gap between Saturn's rings and the planet's atmosphere.

We take their successes for granted, like this stuff is easy, but it's not, even for teams of well-funded geniuses. Worth taking a second to appreciate the engineering achievement as well as the science.
Actually there are lots of strong female leads now. It all started, I think, with Joss Whedon (Buffy) and Robert Taper (Xena). Women used to watch that much more than Hercules etc.

Now here is the thing... this is all wishful thinking. And the strong female lead is very much exceptional and stereotyped. She is just really strong and skilled somehow. Nearly all the other women are still weak. Once in a while her skill "rubs off" on her companions but the average woman is still weak.

And this is just about strength and/or fighting skill. How about intelligence? There is a movie now called "Gifted". Same thing - a fictional story about a lineage of women with exceptional gifts in math. None of the other women are portrayed this way.

In other words, whenever a woman is portrayed in fiction, even if she is stronger, more skilled, more resolute, more intelligent etc. than men, she is an exception.

There are a few exceptions, such as Fast and Furious, who just cram their movies chock full of two really exceptional women. But then they also cram them chock full of feats, explosions etc.

Where are the popular movies or literature where nearly all the women are routinely stronger or more intelligent than men at things?
Oh I see, should have noticed when you said pjax. I imagine some concepts will be applicable in any case, like:

- URL routing on both client/server: for navigation without page reload, as well as rendering the same content when the user lands on a particular page for the first time (or refreshes the page)

- Templates on both client/server: maybe you could share the same HTML (or Mustache, Pug, etc.) templates on both sides

- Passing initial state from server -> client: typically, a JS snippet can be injected in a page template to pass an object, so the client-side can sync the state (initial route, etc.)

- Dynamic loading of additional scripts: some routes may request additional scripts via AJAX/fetch, in which case a small library/wrapper may be useful, to know when it finished loading to do something

The problem aren't really rules so much as a lack of substance in the industry. Even in this case where the author takes a stand and says to "just say no" the top right menu says "domains for sale". Even if you don't consider the domain industry itself shitty there's a huge overlap between that industry and things that are ethically questionable online. If one wants to change things, the system has to change first.

I would say that the term "race car" is recognized by the entire population, plus it's self-descriptive if you know the meaning of both of the component words, which are also very well known and easily defined.

It's self-evident that this is not the case for "systems language", else we wouldn't be talking about this. By itself, "system" means almost nothing and it doesn't help one understand the phrase "systems language" at all without prior knowledge. Take a moment to dwell on the mental context of someone that would say this and what it means to them:

You can write a system in any language right?

> should newcomers come under the impression it's .. easy

Newcomers that don't understand the term at first glance come with no impression because it's ambiguous.

> More explanation might be nice

If you have to reference a footnote to describe the word every time you use it, the word has lost its' value as as word. You might as well call it a "peloozoid programming language" [1]. Just use a better word. Or find a qualifier to tack in front of it to make it more clear. And before you dispute the phrase "every time you use it" I would like to take a second to reference nearly every Rust post on HN and the forums where people are confused by the term "systems"; this theme might be more common than the (tiring) rust-vs-go theme.

This whole paragraph almost comes across as intentionally exclusionary. The Rust community is making huge efforts to make Rust more approachable and ergonomic, especially to non-systems programmers†. This effort can extend past the language itself into the way it describes itself.

I'm not delusional, there's no chance that the 4th word on rust-lang.org will change because I made a comment on HN. But I can wish.

† This is one of the great strengths of Rust! You don't need years of experience with manual memory management to not footgun yourself, Rust has your back. With it's FFI and safety story it's in a great position for dynamic language devs to write extensions for their language with minimal experience and investment.

Conflation of what? The conflation was @tomp's straw man example, @zebrafish and @artursapek didn't conflate anything nor presume that word frequencies equal racism.

It's true that correlation is not causation. It's true that books that use the words 'black' and 'slave' doesn't say anything about whether they're racist. Nobody in this thread was saying otherwise.

It's also true that the history we actually have is one filled with real racism and writing about real racism. It is not one that had a majority of John Brown writing about the evils of slavery. This isn't speculation, we have a historical record and this has already been demonstrated.

Bigger picture, @artursapek asked an interesting question, is a body of literature sexist if it accurately reflects society? Men do commit more crimes, is it sexist for there to be more writing about men committing crimes than women?

@zebrafish answered with an interesting answer -- we might consider it somewhat sexist because our society is still somewhat sexist. If the degree of sexism in literature and in society are the same, then is the literature sexist on it's own? Maybe it is.

Both are hypotheses, and in my book it's perfectly fine to ponder hypotheses. Neither one said something I would presume to call "wrong".

The problem with "gender" as a concept is that they hijacked existing words ("man" and "woman") that were previously used for "sex". This can be clearly seen by trying to define these words without reference to sex - you can't except by defining them recursively ("men are people who identify as men"), in which case, I think a better choice would be to invent new words for this new concept.

A lot of people think that laws and ethics are interchangeable. If something's illegal, it must be wrong; otherwise, it must be right.

Laws don't define ethics. They're only an implementation of justice. It's up to us to decide what's right and what's wrong.
Correct, you're absolutely right. Nobody said otherwise.
