This actually borders on being a rather comical point. People in prison have an income of zero. So if we're going to arrive at 0.77 by dividing one average by another, I for one would like to know, is the prison population being included?

Where can I fund a journalistic investigation into the matter right away?

This is why I have always wanted schools to start using Linux.

When I use Windows or OS X, and I want a program to do a thing, I have to sift for hours through half-baked $20 tools that claim to do that thing until I find the free one that does it well. In Debian/Ubuntu/Nix/etc., there's a package for that.

The goal is to maintain these systems. The least maintainable operating systems I have ever used are Windows and OS X. To contrast: the most maintainable operating systems I have ever used are NixOS, Android, Archlinux, and Ubuntu (in that order).

Story Time:

When I was in high school, all the computers were running Windows (XP to 7 depending on the date) and Deep Freeze. Deep Freeze is a "commercial solution" that runs windows like a Live CD (All filesystem writes go to a tmpfs that disappears at reboot). Every time we went to the "computer lab", we would have to wait ~10min. (not kidding here) for windows to boot. If we wanted persistent storage (to save homework), we would need to use our own (USB storage, email, etc.) I, and a few of my friends, learned the password to disable Deep Freeze, so we could have persistent storage, and secretly abused it. "C:\persis.sys\[Starcraft, Warcraft, OpenLieroX, HaloCE, etc.]" stuck around for a few years after my graduation.

The geek that I was, I eventually moved up to carrying around a flash drive with tinycore, and a floppy to boot it (those systems just predated USB boot). When we went to the computer lab, I popped in my floppy and flash drive, and within a minute had Linux running on a ramdisk, and Chrome at my fingertips. At least 5min. passed before anyone else could log in to Windows.

End Story Time

Windows has gotten much more maintainable, and usable, but still hasn't even approached what Ubuntu was more than 10 years ago. The fact that Microsoft software is the status quo sickens me. We have failed our communities by letting that perpetuate. We have wasted thousands upon thousands of tax dollars on this issue when free software has been readily available, and far superior. There is no excuse.
Also, on the ones that were nice, I considered them without ambition, eg. spending the weekend on Facebook (when not going out together), beauty salons, superficial discussions with friends, while I'm always learning/reading/doing sideprojects. Even though we discussed about it, we couldn't find a solution for me just to accept this, rather than hoping they'd work on something more meaningful.
It seems weird to me that eliminating the "gender pay gap" is something businesses need to be actively concerned about. As long as they are offer equal pay for equal work they should be largely agnostic to the lifestyles choices of their employees
Trivially: fire you, and hire another poor shmuck at your starting salary to spend 90 hour weeks in time for the next launch.

If they are willing to do that once, rewriting everything using a coding pack animal, it is pathological and they WILL be willing to do it twice, regardless of whatever reassurances to the contrary they give you on a death march.

The 40 hour workweek as a standard isn't arbitrary, it's about preventing workers from creating a race to the bottom on hours worked, because that ends with anyone unwilling to be driven like a slave becoming unemployed.

Do your part and defend your right to your personal time and to go home unmolested after your workday ends.

> editing it manually

You edit the source code via the IDE. Just like in Lisp systems. It's just that the IDE works differently.

> Smalltalk'ers actually work on the running live image all of the time

That's the dominant way to work in Lisp, too. My Lisp Machine even runs it as an OS. I use LispWorks for development on my Mac - the IDE is the running Lisp system.

> it's not the normal worflow to work entirely in the REPL

Actually that's the default mode. If you develop Lisp code with SLIME / GNU Emacs, it talks to a live Lisp system.

> if they had macros, which are nothing more than code generators, they'd be seeing is the macro expansion rather than the original source call to the macro.

That's not how Lisp works. Macros are not simple code generators, where the workflow would be write macro code, expand that, and use the expanded code. The Lisp developer is not generating code and working with that generated code. The generated code is usually hidden and generated by the Lisp system on demand/incrementally for internal use.

> And from experience know that an accessor is a getter, setter, and backing instance variable but they don't see those things in their editors, they just know they'll exist at runtime; whereas a Smalltalker is accustomed to looking at the runtime where he actually sees the getter, setter, and and backing instance variable.

In this case the Lisp developer sees the generated objects: the getter, setter slot definitions. What the Lisp developer usually does not look at is the code generated by the macros. It might be useful to have source code for the macro forms and being able to edit them, but it is usually not done in Lisp. There are many macros, where there are no generated objects and the resulting code is extremely complex and large. Thus it would not make sense at all to present this code or edit this code...

> don't see those things in their editors, they just know they'll exist at runtime

I'll see it in the runtime. The introspective capability tells me that it is there. If I want to edit them, I would then go back to the source. For example when I call (ed 'foobar) to edit the accessor foobar, it would open up the defclass form in the editor. Some Lisp systems (like LispWorks)also offer the link back from the objects to the macro form which was responsible for creating them. What I usually don't want to see is the generated code, since that's not fit for human consumption.

> Macros just don't fit into Smalltalk; they've been added before, people keep trying it, and it just doesn't fit and so doesn't catch on.

Because they difficult to integrate into Smalltalk and its idea of an IDE. Macros add a lot complexity to the system and how the developers are using it. They offer code manipulation and the price is losing a direct connection of the object code / the objects from the source code.
These people are destroying real jobs. You have to see the entire market: where Uber gives a "job"(with no liabilities of a real job), it(by competing on same sector) reduces wages/jobs of other people, driving down average quality of life and median income.
Gig economy only benefits corporations long-term: for them you are just "disposable human resource" not worker paid wages. While you can imagine some bottom-tier income being preferable to no income, its a bargain with the devil, allowing the companies to pay below minimum wage and remove all external expenses - the independent worker has now to absorb them. It creates a norm, where you don't really have a choice between this bottom-tier income and nothing, as real jobs are replaced with gig/contract schemes.

Off course since it is not a complete theory, it does not consider the above as major factors in wealth accumulation leading to inequality.

The entire comment is written in third-person. The correction is simply following the same pattern as the original text. I really don't think the author was trying to avoid any blame on the mistake. This is maybe reading a little too deeply into it.
IMO, assembly will remain an optimal tool for writing simple programs for very small microcontrollers. Consider the ATtiny4, for example, which has 32B ram and 512B of flash for code.

If you can operate within those constraints, then you can build at a <$1 price point, and run on 2mW of power, less current than an LED. Heck, you could run the thing off of a joule thief, and pot the entire assembly in epoxy.

Fitting a pared down libC into that might be possible, but why bother? The system is so small and simple, that the rationale for a high level language doesn't really apply. Most of your code will probably just be bitbanging and setting control registers anyway.

But, most importantly, assembly is just plain fun, which is what will keep you coming back to the platform :)
So be it.

No, that's not true. If it was true, it would mean that the vast majority of the stupidest people are man and the vast majority of the smartest people are man. And the later statement will get you into lots of trouble...
Wait, but it wasn't like they forced me. In fact the founder openly talked about the importance of work-life balance. Believe it or not, I actually wanted to do it.

I've given bottled breastmilk to my son for almost a year while my wife worked.

Breastmilk can be kept at room temperature for up to 6 hours.

I usually had a bottle ready for an hour or two before my child was hungry.

Also since it lasts for so long, if the baby doest finish it at that point I can usually give it a few hours later with the second batch. But I usually wasted 20-30ml a day, as I preferred to err on the side of my baby not being hungry.

Getting a child on a schedule, or close to it, is very possible and relieves all.the problems you mentioned, except when he is on a growth spout, but thats a problem even with breast feeding.
Your unstated assumption is that men and women have roughly equal dispositions toward child-rearing, which I personally wouldn't agree with. Men and women aren't fungible.
I definitely recommend HRM for someone who has only dealt with high-level languages and wants to get a feel for thinking in assembly.

That has been proven false, negligible or within noise over and over.

The version stubbornly pushed is simply that median_salary(all women) != median_salary(all men).
Yeah, schedule brings some method into the madness, but the counterparty still likes to throw a curveball or two by refusing to follow the schedule, spilling the bottle, etc.
That's funny, but the pay gap is about how much people receive in compensation, not the net amount that goes into sustaining their existence.
I wanted to add that Shenzhen and TIS problems have much more constraints, which makes it challenging and forces you to think of dramatically different solutions (after discovering that I ran out of instruction or data space in each module). I have literally spent a week trying to figure out how to solve some of the more complicated Shenzhen problems (and then I noticed the dev released an update that simplified those problems).

"Full" UAC, also known as actual UAC, moves you to a secure desktop without any other windows (which also prevents a few forms of keylogging). You can't alt-tab into any of your previous applications, either, until the prompt has been dealt with. Faking this requires kernel-mode permissions.

But then again, users will STILL enter the password, giving the app root permission anyway. The warning here would be that the "fake" Handbrake would not have been signed, and blocked by SmartScreen. (They could get a signing cert, and use that, and aware users would have to know it differs...)

I still think the safest way is Windows XP style. Applications do not get root. You cannot give them root. Things that require an administrative password have to be done under the administrative account.
> Sounds like they are old and haven't been maintained properly.

That is the heart of the issue. Maintenance should not be so difficult. It has generally been a non-issue for most Linux distros for over a decade. Windows maintenance is difficult on purpose. There is an entire economy based on windows maintenance. It's not just a headache, it's like shooting yourself in the foot.

> There are hacks who call themselves "IT" and there are true IT folks who have the training and knowledge to do things right the first time around.

Since we are talking about public schools, I accept the reality that there will, more often than not, be a "hack" employed. Even so, their job should be that easy. The reason that it is not is that Windows promotes a culture of "hacks" and misinformation. GNU/Linux has the opposite culture, and it's free.
It depends on each individual, but having looked at how my wife breastfed my son, I wouldn't say "just offer her breast". Creating milk in women's breast isn't free. They must prepare for it, and also have to take care of their breasts. My wife said it was very tiring and also got mastitis a few times. The experience may vary and I guess it'd be generally easier for young, healthy women, though.

We couldn't switch to formula because after the initial few weeks my son refused to take it. We tried various ways but couldn't make it work except breastfeeding. If we could, I wouldn't have minded preparing formula, considering how much work my wife has done for pregnancy and delivery.
I suspect the brilliance of your comment will be unappreciated.

> How do we stop me from doing that?

By not hiring somebody who isn't a team player? Look, I don't know you, and sometimes there's a real deadline. But on a big project, I'd rather take two guys working 35 hours a week than one guy working 70 hours a week (all other things equal).

And while most cooperations don't care about ethics, societies should. How the hell are you going to be a good parent after a 90 hour week? So we're going to rely on underpaid teachers to teach our kids everything? Hmm, I guess Adderall is the next best thing to parenting.

All in all, nobody would stop you from being so stupid, and when you end up burned out, your fault. In a country with decent labour laws though the business might end up paying your salary during sick leave. Suddenly overtime is a massive liability.

We could also make managers responsible. For example, somebody has a crash on the way home because he fell asleep at the wheel after weeks of overtime. The manager should have some blame for not managing the workload of his employers better.

Of course, this is all moot as long as there's some asshole out there who thinks he needs to one-up everybody else and put in massive amounts of unpaid extra work. Generally though teams wise up to this quickly, and code written at 2am isn't an asset - it's a liability that somebody else needs to fix. I'll bet that's how your code ended up laden with technical debt, and I'll bet the next guy who inherits it from you will curse at the technical debt, maybe rewrite it in a frantic effort - and so the cycle begins again.

It's always easy to make more money with a short-sighted view. In the long run, it's usually not worth it. But you only hear the stories about the exceptional successes, and rarely the tragedies.
Not every mother produces adequate supply where you can just leave extra milk out and if the baby doesn't drink it, say "oh well" and toss it out. Not every baby gets on a predictable schedule either - my 6 month old didn't fall into a regular nightly feeding schedule until he was about 4 1/2 months old.

That said you make a good point that with careful planning and measurement, and with an adequate supply of milk, you can do a pretty decent job. But it still doesn't equate with my wife's no-muss no-fuss ability to roll over at 3AM and pop the crying baby on her breast, or the oxytocin she gets from the experience.
Their claim is they're opening up new markets of their own, e.g. prior to Uber taxis weren't as widely used for bar-hopping or casual trips, prior to Airbnb people would not travel as much as they would look at the hotel prices, decide it was too much, and just not attempt a trip, prior to Taskrabbit someone who bought a new item from Ikea would assemble it themselves instead of finding a rando to do it for them.

Is their assessment incorrect? Are there examples of (a) gig economy company entering a market (b) average income and quality of life driven down and (c) a causal link between the two?

To me it seems like bad economy is the reason those companies came to be in the first place - as soon as sectors like construction or energy or manufacturing start growing and hiring, who's going to consider an offer to drive for UberEats?

iWarp is just one of the more recent systolic arrays. But they go back to atleast 1943 with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_computer, and there is a lot of variety and topologies...but they all work by piping data around between modules.
My baby had mostly formula, we trained him to take it room temperature or refrigerated. The bottle warmers are all crazy junk, we tried one and all it seemed to do was make the outside of the bottle uncomfortable to hold without warning the contents in an appreciable way. It's definitely worth a little more screaming early on to train to accept milk at any temperature. (Keep in mind, babies are classically conditioning you while you're conditioning them)

Also breast feeding doesn't work for all women either.
No. Its like being paid per each function of code developed.
There is a segmentation of work into deliverable units(rides, deliveries). If programmers were replaced by gig economy, it would look like freelancers getting paid pennies for creating tiny pieces of code(with large competition between them for speed and performance):
e.g. a gig where you write function X of project Y, which is then graded for performance and compliance and paid 60 cents, with a twist:you are only paid if your function is the best one among all submitted.
With gamification and ratings, the competition become very fierce and people get near zero income, making the job unsustainable except for those living in third-world countries.
Good point. But, what if it still comes down to risk taking? (not assuming a biological component)

radarr is couchpotato and sonarr in one.
Infants have less ability to maintain homeostasis than older humans; there are good reasons to give them milk/formula at or near body temperature.
