Ask HN: How do we keep in mind diversity when we need to hire engineers now?
I'm at a small company but we recently hit a pretty big demand but are pretty constrained for resources. We have around 90% males already so it worries me if we need to hire now we are gonna suffer in terms of diversity since it took us a very long time to hire our first female employee.

What can we do?
The trivially true answer is "by a variety of means" but obviously it's trends and patterns that are of real interest.

And this brings us close to studies of "social mobility" (glossing over the difference between class and wealth - which - taking a long perspective - can be assumed to be roughly synonymous).

And with social mobility between generations usually fairly low in general - the next most trivially true answer is "because their ancestors were".

Attempts to trace this back to some origin myth is slightly silly but on the whole your answer to the "where did it all begin" question indicates your political colour.

If you tend to answer "Because they stole it by force" then you're probably on the left. And if you tend to answer "Because they created a strong leadership that protected a group from other groups" that places you on the right.

Of course - pure examples of bandits vs noble warrior kings are rare but I suspect there's more of the former in history than the latter. ;-)

It's so interesting that you'd say that.

I work with lots of Italian and French people, and am a bit obsessed with the French culture and language. I observe that the opposite holds -- fashion-conscious Europeans sometimes let their personality be defined by their fashion choices. The personality, whatever that means, is secondary. Not to say that they are superficial at all, but rather that looks and presentation are so important to them (not a bad thing!) that it becomes a bigger part of who you are.

For example just today -- an Italian colleague struck up a conversation with me while we were grabbing coffee in the kitchen. He was wearing a blazer, nice dress pants and nice shoes. I was wearing jeans, hoodie, t-shirt. He asked me what cologne I like, and literally fanned the scent from his neck onto me, so I could smell his good taste in fragrance. His cologne did smell really good, but I was still jarred by the whole experience.
It honestly sounds like it would be irresponsible to travel to the US without a lawyer with you. In fact, sometimes the US sounds like you need a lawyer on hand at all times.

I am pragmatic about the SSL MITM thing. For what it's worth it does correctly validate certs and I'll bet it's certs and revocations are updated more frequently than the browsers. If you don't trust the fact that your web traffic is passing through antivirus then what do you trust and why aren't you running Gentoo?

I call Bullshit on you. The one of the product of that excellent education system was Milosevic as well. Serbia with Milosevic started the last Balkan Wars in its desire to renew Dusan's Empire, or in common tongue, to make a greater Serbia. First in Slovenia, later on in Croatia then in Bosnia and Herzegovina. When it started on the south, in between Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, it became too dangerous not to stop it. The US waited for Srebrenica to happen to put a stop on it in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This time the US and the EU correctly recognized the danger of leaving the situation to deteriorate to something that would be danger to the region and the ordinary people. Those in Serbia included.

Generally, no. But you should benchmark your own code.

In my experience, some code paths are better optimized by cl.exe, some by gcc. Overall difference is negligible though.

"in all likelihood" ... the key bit.

The US, for example, is one presidency away from complete democratic failure. By which I mean all that data, which now is effectively, "in all likelihood", private via volume, can and will be abused.

Giving up and allowing privacy to fail now only makes disastrous consequences more likely later at the whim of that centralised power you mention.

I don't think it's really possible to argue the

before the insurrection.

The question is then, what would have been a better solution? Surely as long as Assad was ruling they were stuck (at best) at a local maximum and would have never transitioned to a free democracy without overthrowing the current government.

This point is badly under-discussed whenever this AV debate comes up.

Yeah, the variety of vendors, products, and methods in the third-party AV arena make production less predictable for software developers. That's the point. It makes it exactly as unpredictable for attackers.

Should AV vendors work harder to make their software easier to develop around? Arguably, yes. Security through obscurity is no security at all. But that should be the target of the argument, not the homogenization of security systems. I don't care how big or small the Defender attack surface is if every single desktop computer in the world has the exact same attack surface.

Very true. The big malls have never been more popular and three major malls underwent major renovations (Lynnwood, Southcenter, and University Village). There's plenty of money being spent at these places - most feature local restaurants which draw people and mid-high fashion places to shop at.

1. You have to like what you do. If you don't then think about what would you actually like and do that instead. No reason to work in a job you actually don't like that much.

2. We all have different speed when it comes to learning and progress of one individual. Just because you might be slower doesn't mean you're stupid compared to others.

3. Look at them from an other angle. By learning one, or two things really well, takes time. And that time is taken away from something else. They might be experts in A, but they have close to zero knowledge of B, C and D. What would you like to have more 25% of A, B, C and D, or knowing one of them for 100%?

4. There is a saying "if you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room". Which means, don't feel ashamed knowing less then the others. Use it to your advantage. Get help from them. Get them to explain things. Knowledge is passed down by people to the people. Wether you're reading a book written by someone, or a colleague explaining something. The end result is the same. You grow.

Lot of people think IT and Software Development is only coding and nothing else. But that is far from the truth. It has a lot of human aspects from UI/UX to team management. I always say, that when you write code, you write it first and foremost for others to read. Because you're working in a team and others will read what you wrote. But most of the developer ignore this simple fact.
Also there are so many jobs and skills needed in IT next to the regular stuff, but people don't see it most of the times.
That's why I roll my eyes when I see fantastic developers become managers and struggle, because they love to code, but they don't want to manage people, etc...
If you're a people's person, you could become a Scrum Master, a Project Manager, Product Owner, etc...
There are so many other things in IT besides coding. But you have to look closely.
Being able to use the same device travelling and at your desk is really useful. Even if it were a case of only opening the actual editor at your desk and just working on emails/design docs/what-have-you while travelling, it makes for a much nicer workflow than switching devices.

You never get "fixed" and completely defined requirements. Every software project evolves over time and this evolution basically means "Hey we have modified the problem and now you have to fix the existing algorithm such that is works for new problem" (AKA not coming up with new algorithm from scratch for updated problem).

Not Syria but Syrian music, from Aleppo to be precise. I saw the Al-Kindi Ensemble (http://www.alkindi.org/) many years ago, and you can find an album on Spotify.

The whole evening was enchanting, and reading up on their story, then seeing footage of Aleppo, I realised how completely gone all that old beauty is. Daesh hates them too, no doubt, but then that's their thing.
There are a few repositories where I know that I am one of the users with the most experience, so I watch them and as soon as issues arise I'll try to help debug and pinpoint the issue or even solve it.

Since the Issue-tracker is public, we can have those benefits where we can take weight of the maintainer's shoulder.

In another repo I just do releases to a specific distribution platform and my users basically do all the work.

twitter is primarily an app. you dont get alexa ranking for that.

twitch doesnt generate pageviews like reddit would. twitch tracks minutes watched, and i bet you that users of twitch spend a lot more time on twitch than redditors spend on reddit.

yes, reddit IS bad for advertisers. reddit are about the most informed people on the internet. you cant sell on reddit. ask any marketer. reddit advertising is bottom tier. unless you want to run meme ads that dont generate revenue. that can be fun, but ads are generally bought to drive revenue. not to appease the users of the site the ad runs on.
Then don't do it. If no one is paying you, you owe no one anything. You have no obligation. Walk away. Our society and economy have lots and lots of money. If the way system works can't justify paying you for your work, then you should not be doing that work. At least that's the way I see it. At this point FOSS is big business, if you are not getting paid, then you should not be bothering with it.

Get someone with money to pay you for it or don't do it. The end.
I never bothered creating a program to solve this as I prefer to do the exercise mentally. I've been playing with 1440 puzzles: one for each display of a 24 hour clock. The puzzle is simple: take a displayed time and using the 4 displayed numbers and the 4 basic operations (+ - x /), make it solve to zero. To make it more complex, it is forbidden to multiply by zero. Eg. 12:34 >> (1+4)-(2+3)=0. The puzzle does not solve for all hours, but it does for 12:3x and many other times

A remarkable number of fashion designers have adopted their own Jobsian uniform. Carolina Herrera almost always wears a white dress shirt with a pencil skirt, Karl Lagerfeld has his peculiar gothic suits and high-collared shirts, Marc Jacobs is rarely seen without a kilt. It's something of a trope within the fashion world - the designers who work to push forward the boundaries of fashion often stick with the same basic style for decades.
And Cinemas! I realized a few years ago with the Scottish Indy Ref, that the BBC was state media so I briefly stopped watching and paying for that service.

As a result, everything else that is moving media is surrounded by spam. Even if you pay 60 pound for a premium service (Think how much money it is, even if you have infinite money), you will spend 1/3 of that time watching Adverts.

It is like a Freemium Game Model but when you pay, it doesn't matter.

I have no idea why people are so careless with their time. Now that I ditched TV/Film, and found other ways to fill that time, I honestly feel better within myself. I twiddle around with robots while listening to the 20 hour audiobook (of your 90 minute film), or try to grow Carrots with some weird automated soil probe remotely at an Allotment.

Compared to the enjoyment I get from these time fillers, motion picture is honestly the lowest form of entertainment and the lest rewarding.

So I doubt that being "exploited" by the evil UN anti-warmongerers is of particular concern to her. I'd even guess she would want to help to stop this, and prevent further atrocities of this magnitude.

You've really gotten away with the wrong lessons from Wag the Dog if you consider this exploitative. The problem in WtD was that it was intended to rouse nationalistic furore justifying a military intervention. This is intended to produce goodwill for refugees.

And, of course, the problem in Wag the Dog was that the girl was an actress in California, and there was no war.

Are you doubting that there is a war in Syria?

Interesting. The Hatfield Moors near Doncaster has a lot of land that is (or at least used to be) signposted as MOD. But this map shows it as "Other Government".

I grew up around there, and there's always been odd stuff about the place. Like this now abandoned tower, that used to always have a military presence.

Well I'm more a user than a developer but I already have helped others users by responding to issues in someone's else repo.

Recently I've opened an issue on a project I really appreciate, and I'm so sorry I don't have time right now to help the developers solve it. And so I don't blame them either.

When I'll have more time/skills I will totally stick around, keep giving feedback and maybe propose PR if he hasn't solved the issue by then. But I really don't feel like signaling a serious issue without PR was spamming them.

And who know maybe I'll become a contributor one day if I can. But right now, had I been "forced" to submit a Pull request I would have either submitted a really crappy one or more likely censor myself...

Here is the issue if you feel like having a look :

They'll start caring again about privacy when people start being dragged out of their homes in the middle of the night for participating in protests, not just against the government, but against large corporations, too.

And many people will lose their lives in the process, or will be imprisoned for years until things change again, and so on. I guess we'll have to do real fighting for our human rights once again (unfortunately).
This is an elegant solution, and I like the fact that it literally gives everyone ownership in the means of production, but the author missed another easy solution: have a highly progressive income and capital tax. The former-Employer-now-turned-Robot-owner will pay tax at a higher bracket as he now earns what the now-redundant-employee used to make. Similarly, every time there is a consolidation in income (many workers earning wages to few robot owners making bank), total tax revenue will increase.

If you're interested in Japanese industry from the 60s and 70s then there's an excellent film "Dawn of a New Day", a fictionalized account of the invention of VHS video recorders (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329177/). The cover (http://asianwiki.com/images/2/21/Hiamatanoboru.jpg) shows some workers in standard uniforms.
The UN is not objective. They keep repeating the "peaceful protests" thing, but what sort of peaceful protests would aim to take down the president by force ? I'm not an Assad supporter but come on, we saw how that peaceful protests ended up in Libya; France was doing air strike to stop the Libya government to interrupt the protests, people killed their former leader with their bare hands.

The only peaceful end during the Arab spring was in Tunisia as their former president escaped in the beginning. A coalition of western countries took over their country to "establish democracy", and now Tunisian people are letting Europe teach them how to be a democracy. It's not free of course. I met bunch of Danish people getting paid really well for working for Tunisian government, as a part of the transition.

Syria was a failure for whoever organized Arab spring. Assad gave a CNN interview in the beginning of the war, saying that he'll lead the transition to democracy. But, he'll fight whoever choose violence. Whoever organized those protests already wanted a war, so it didn't matter what Assad said. Please go back to 2011 editions of your favorite western papers and look at the news about Syria, reporters based in London were hysterically telling people about how peaceful protesters in Syria are being killed by a demon, Assad. Same propaganda machine most recently made campaigns about a group called White Helmets, founded by James Le Mesurier, a well known MI6 agent.

I traveled three times during the war to the Turkey - Syrian border, volunteered in the refugee camps there. There was not even one UN tent although every year they make big promises such as water pipeline, schools, etc. If you look at UNCHR website, you'll see they are asking money for regions where they don't even report from because they got no volunteers there at all. Later, I traveled to other middle eastern countries around Syria and met chance to meet UN volunteers, told them my observation about their operation. They explained me how they basically count victims and collect money. They bring an NBA or Hollywood star to one of the camps in either Iraq or Lebanon, take some photos and fill the pockets with millions of money that will be spent in 5 star hotels, business class flight tickets, western bars and restaurants in the wealthy neighborhoods of poor middle eastern towns.

If you're looking for truth, don't expect these corrupt organizations to tell you, do some research. Who was the US foreign minister during arab spring, who has been backing his/her political campaigns ? If you find this name, all you need is to research that person and find out what he has been organizing "peaceful protests that turn to violent" all over the world, from Ukraina to Egypt, from Libya to Syria.
