He was fined for calling himself an engineer without being licensed, stupidly, in front of the board that regulates such things. Also, an electrical engineer isn't licensed to do traffic engineering. There are good reasons for these things. If he just limited himself to doing math and physics he wouldn't have been fined.
No, a polyfill is not a library. It's a dozen lines, not a thousand.
> Sorry, but if you are OK with the term "mansplaining" then you are OK with sexist behaviour.

Having a term for a particular pattern of sexist behavior which is observed to be common is not the same as being okay with sexist behavior.
At what dollar value would this type of post not be allowed on hn?
It's hard to imagine what law this would break.
That video is very insightful and resonates with what I love about Mamoru Oshii's movie. The city is definitely a protagonist in that classic movie as well, but it's not garish like in the new movie.
As the number of people that won't put up with the JS crap anymore and start using JS blockers increase, we will see such websites.

Same thing that is happening with ads and ad blockers.
Are you really going to be able to negotiate terms like that with a company that's at the stage where they are offering RSUs (I.e Airbnb)? I can imagine negotiating terms on options at earlyier stage companies.

Wouldn't you have to be going for a job in senior management to have a shot at doing something like this? Genuinely curious to hear if you have ever successfully done something like this?

As a front end developer, I would say if you need an MVP to get out the door and you've got a bunch of plates in the air, then yes, Bootstrap (and also Font Awesome!) works just fine for all the things that you don't really care to worry about at the present moment. Its also easy enough to remove if you do eventually bring in a UX person or a designer to refine things.

That being said, the little things that you can do make a huge difference between a site that looks like its made with bootstrap vs a site that has a bit more going on under the design hood. Pay a bit of attention to your fonts and line heights, add in -webkit-font-smoothing, and lock down your colors before you start (e.g. black, white, brand colors, grays, etc.) Consistency will make your life so much easier to get that UI looking amazing, and it takes about 15 minutes or less to write down some variables (assuming you're using a CSS preprocessor). Also, optimize your assets (images, etc) and make sure you have fallbacks if something doesn't load fast.

Lastly, make sure you know what you (roughly) want your app to look like on mobile, tablet and desktop before just diving in to Bootstrap- even just roughly sketching out boxes on paper helps me sometimes with that. I like to use the Chrome emulator for a rough idea of any device as I work on phone, tablet and desktop in either orientation as well.

All in all, what I've described you can easily implement in a a few hours to a few days (depending on the complexity of your site) and makes a huge difference. Once you're making millions, you can hire a great designer to push your site to the next level!
And here I thought this was saying something:

Exactly.

The total running time of the remake was more than the original movie, yet somehow said a lot less. Aside from the visuals, the movie was embarassingly mediocre.
I agree. Never sign up clients on a monthly arrangement until you have a decent amount of IP available that is readily re-useable.

That way your value proposition for a monthly fee is that it effectively acts as an extended warranty, and saves the upfront costs for a client. But you need to be confident they will sign a term agreement (24+ months) and they need to be confident they can depend on you to fix things when/if they break over that long period of time.

I've seen plenty of scenarios where money has been left on the table for a client who was willing to pay upfront and the contractor did themselves out of a nice fat cheque by talking the client into a monthly arrangement (which just gives them a debtor issue).
Such as... ?

If you're referring to screen readers, I was under the impression that pretty much all of them execute JS these days. Am I wrong?
Yeah for this statement, "...often Web developers are looking for quick examples...", I don't even care if the examples are higher up on the page or not...I just would like more and more examples. Sometimes the examples are too few or don't fully exemplify options of particular functions, etc. Nevertheless, I'm absolutely grateful to all the folks who put in so much work into MDN. If you are one of those people, know that I thank YOU!
None of this is useful nor OK.

I watched a bunch of the video. The guy is a poor moderator. Using this term creates a charged bias on the reader, who almost certainly hasn't seen the video: It labels the moderator's behaviour as purposefully sexist and paints a clear picture of something that is actually really, really hard to read.

On top of this, what if you're wrong? What if this is a genuine mistake (which it honestly appears to be -- watch his reaction to the audience member saying 'let her speak')? Put yourself in his shoes: You make a mistake that has nothing to do with gender and you're now painted by hordes of headline-readers as the ambassador to all things sexism. Are you okay with this?

There's actual, serious problems of sexism and gender bias in STEM. Cherry-picking situations where socially awkward people were disrespectful to someone else who happens to be a woman isn't just pointless, it's actively harmful to feminist causes.
Unit Testing in Nim
I think you might be confusing GDP with something else. Apollo spending peaked in 1966 at just shy of $3 billion [1] while US GDP was 815 billion [2] for about 0.3% percent of the GDP. On the other hand, [3] shows US federal outlays at $17.2 billion, so Apollo would have been 17% of the total budget.

The truth is almost exactly the opposite of what you say actually. Yes, Arch is more difficult to install and configure the first time because it requires you to actually understand the steps it takes. But the top quality documentation really makes that not so difficult.

Arch is actually much _easier_ to maintain afterwards (once installed and configured) than almost anything else. This is because it does not add layers of useless abstraction, very much unlike DEB and RPM based distros. Packages are very close to upstream, with only minimal patches when really necessary, unlike RPM/DEB distros which heavily customize and patch most packages. Packages are also very easy to create, you can learn to do that in minutes, again very much unlike DEB and RPM which are needlessly overengineered and have whole ecosystems of helper scripts aiming to help with that complexity, but you have to spend a lot of time to actually learn them as well.

A polyfill can be any size, but there's no size minimum to be a library.
It might sound a little odd, but I slightly prefer programming in a harsh-on-the-eyes environment from time to time. I think it keeps one out of one's "comfort zone" and thus more focused on immediate problem-solving.

How does the joke go? -- "Hours of planning can be saved by just a few weeks of coding" or something along those lines. I find a garish eyestrain-inducing theme to incite me to spend more time planning and less time coding.
You'd have to agree though that it's a remarkable coincidence that this only happened to the only female scientist who was part of the panel.
Linode REST API (v4) – Early Access
>I never felt discriminated against or thwarted in my calling

This just goes to prove my stance whenever the whole women in STEM fields debate is brought up. You have two kinds of women, those who are out there doing science, building things and being badasses (The likes of Veronika and Julia Evans, ones I consider as role-models) and then you have women that have questionable technical skills who keep whining about sexism and lack of women in tech. Veronica wasn't concerned with the perceived sexism and was interested in physics, Marilee, a specimen of the second category, gave herself a pat on the shoulder for standing up to Veronica.
Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated: Guess Who Is Sicker?
Link to video?

EDIT: Found it at the bottom...
What is the motivation behind this mentality? Sure there are still webpages on the web, but there are also web apps. Why or even how would you expect a web app to work without JS? Why would you expect developers to spend time writing a non JS version of their app? Before taking on this endeavor, I would prioritize native apps, optimizations of all sorts, adding features, etc. Unless your app is gmail, why would you ever spend time on creating an HTML/CGI based web app? I keep seeing these posts and I just don't get why anyone cares about this.
You do realize that show is scripted, yes? This is all a play, they're playing off each other and pretending like there's debate and he's being patronizing, when they're actually two faces of the same coin and engaged IRL.
I think the problem here is that people with a single loaf are looking around and seeing some guy with 1000 loaves of bread on the news saying that the fact that he has to pay 10 loaves to the government is immoral and that poor people would be fine with half a loaf.

Tax cuts and the cuts in government programs that come with them directly affect those with the least. Telling people not to covet and not actually addressing inequality is how you get things like the French Revolution.
Presumably this occurs when the site uses a CDN for their js libraries (or even their main js). After a few days you start to spot which domains need to be enabled and which can be safely ignored.
I'm really, really amused by all of the people posting their wallet address in the Hacker News comments. How do you not understand that the submission links to a Reddit thread, and that that's where you're supposed to be posting your address?
In an overcrowded social environment, how do you raise awareness for a brand?
>The new version doesn't have those problems.

See, that's the thing. It may be much better than before, but starting from such a low level this doesn't mean much.

Considering the whole Geekbench history I have a hard time accepting that statement in its absolute form. That they suddenly are _the_ indesputable luminaries about all the intricacies, pitfalls and subtleties of multi-arch benchmarking and have done everything right to make a single artificial score a meaningful comparator (which is questionable in itself in the best of cases IMO).
It is not ridiculous, machine crippling JS malware is a click a way and you will never know until you click. The safe strategy is JS off by default plus whitelisting.

Does anyone know if the x86 emulation for ARM that Microsoft is using was created in house if licensed from a third party? If it's the later, it certainly opens for Apple to easily get their hands on the same thing for a quicker transfer not that they couldn't do it them selves if they felt it was needed(though I think they bought or licensed the technology for Rosetta).
Is it the advice thats part of the problem, or the reaction?

The advice is great, why should a panelist take charge if he/she is being run-over by the moderator? The real issue is, like you said, that women are not 'supposed' to be pushy like a man.
Same search on duckduckgo, first few results are (in order):

- https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855 (html version)

- ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt (text version)

- rfc1855.net (another html version which is more readable than the ietf's)

- datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc1855/ (information about the history of the rfc)

- https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc1855 (useless)

This is one of the clearest examples yet of why I prefer duckduckgo these days. Even if it might partially be just because less SEO is targeted at them.

Are you sure about that? I didn't read it at all like that.

But it's easy for China to cheer on the Paris Accord, at least for now. Even though they already produce more emissions per capita than the EU average, they get to increase their emissions without a set limit, while competing European countries axe their emissions in half – and Europe pays China for all this while industry flees into Asia of the ever increasing costs of operation. To me it doesn't sound like a good deal at all with us being in recession for most part of the last decade.
I negotiate the javascript issue by using two web browsers -- w3m for reading hypertext and Firefox when I want javascript. I'm fine with my bank or an online store expecting to use my browser as a thin client, but if you require javascript to present your blog, I'm going to find a different blog to read.

This policy makes it pretty much impossible to use social media, because social media is basically blogs-that-require-javascript. I see this as a beneficial side-effect.

Surely audience members speaking over the moderator is worse than a risk of "anarchy" from a guest chiming in with "please let me answer".

It's not machine code on stage. It's humans. While there's obvious guidelines, there's also normal breathing space for polite interruption as people remember things to add, seek clarification, or in this case answer the question they feel they didn't get the chance to.
Alternatively, every time a a man is rude to a woman, there are volunteers eager to show it's sexism.
If you're using the metrics that person has outlined (battery life, portability, small form factor, etc.) then the Air would destroy the 17" MBP. Those things are tanks.

Not saying I agree, I'll take power over some tiny thing any day. Just pointing out you're reply is targeting all of the wrong things.

Man I wish I knew more about options before I joined a pre IPO company. Kind of like how I wish I knew about salary negotiation before my first job out of college. It's like companies exist to scam us.
I sympathise with that position but the issue here is that the woman was 1. If there were two women and the same happened with both we could be much confident with our assertions as we'd effectively have a "control" woman but with just one its hard to make social assertions as to whether it was sexist or there were other factors that led to the outcome.

How to learn what customers want
> Is it still considered a runtime dependency if all you do is merge code and deploy while relying on GitHub?

It's not a runtime dependency, it's a stupidity to rely on random
repositories from the internets when building and deploying (remember the
left-pad farca that halted work for half of the web programmers). You should
always have your local copy of necessary sources or use repositories that can
trivially be swapped with some other mirror.

We used to have the infrastructure for those things (in the form of binary and
source package repositories), but it was mainly used by sysadmins, and
programmers usually have an alergy for such infrastructure.

Something about large corporations bullying government officials into enacting their preferred legislation doesn't sit right with me.
If I may, it seems to me like there are several possible points of discussion:

1) Javascript is bad (vs. Javascript is good and variations thereof)

2) The use a lot of websites make of Javascript is overcomplex, gratuitious, uncalled for, intrusive, etc.

3) Sites should provide some (even minimal) functionality to people browsing them without Javascript

#1 is largely a matter of personal opinions

#2 is a known, undeniable fact

#3 is where everyone could contribute

Personally I browse normally with javascript turned off since years (and I use another browser with the capapbility to display the site "fully" when really-really needed).

Particularly when browsing HN, I follow given links and often avoid a lot of pop-ups, ads, and what not, and from time to time, when I find a site that won't load AND I really think that the linked to site is worth it, I use the "other" browser.

What is curious is that most "new" products, Saas, whatever simply fail, showing just a blank page, that is exactly what the site shouldn't do.

I would gladly accept a "You need Javascript enabled in order to fully appreciate the site" kind of message, but only if some (basic, simplified how much you want it, even text only, etc.) content is shown nonetheless.

I simply cannot bear the "blank page" or the "Your browser is not supported, please download Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and try again".

This makes me sure that the people behind the site in the best case have not understood the "showcase" nature of a website and in the worst case care nothing about user (please read as customer) experience.

So, if you create a site, consider how a part (even small) of the visitors may have not javascript enabled but they are anyway potential customers, they are somehow anyway interested in your site contents, by making their no-javascript experience so miserable you are turning them away from your site, sometimes forever, which is the perfect negation of the reason why you put the site together in first instance (to make your whatever content visible to the world).
> the moderator's job is to make the panel shine

To be honest, it wasn't any different from any panel I've witnessed, there's always people speaking over each other, let alone in vague subjects such as cosmology and string theory.

Just a classic case of confirmation bias if you ask me; "Scientists are sexist" "Oh he interrupted her!" "Yup sexism is confirmed"
"With my hands shaking, I finally say from my seat in the 2nd row of the audience, as clearly, directly and loudly as possible;

"Let. Her. Speak. Please!"

The moderator stops.

They all stop.

The auditorium drops into silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

And then the audience explodes with applause and screams.

Jim Holt eventually sat back, only after saying I was heckling him."

I just love these comically self-aggrandizing retellings of one's brave intervention in an unjust situation. Reminds me of the "atheist in store copy-pasta"[0] Not very important, I know, but it just ticked me off the wrong way.

PS: Watch the video and you will notice that there is no delay between her shouting and the audience applauding, nor did the interviewer ever say she was heckling.

Veronika stated quite clearly that sexism in STEM is an issue. Julia Evans has wrote in bulk regarding issues she has experienced and ways she is trying to get more women in STEM.

I watched the video and everyone is talking over each other. Also what the hell is she wearing? She looks straight out of little house on the prairie.

that last part was pure trolling
Like I said I'm not knocking Arch, I just don't quite get it, but yea I am old school so I'm sure that has something to do with it.
I'm guessing you haven't read the Paris accord, China is still considered a developing country so they not only get to increase carbon emissions, but they get paid by the developed world to do it. Why wouldn't they sign the Paris Accord when they get free money for doing it?

> Why all the references to "with my hands shaking" and "I'm feeling light headed" and so on?

A weighty argument these days is one with an emotional punch. When was the last time that a presidential debate was about well reasoned points? Are the reposted John Oliver clips the ones that cite the best evidence?

People instinctively share their feelings about an issue because that's how they get to be heard and listened to.

The risk is that the case being made ends up being very convincing to the people who empathise and off-putting to people who don't. I think this thread demonstrates that.
The rules of the subreddit states that you shouldn't really be posting your wallet addresses on their threads.

Having said that, I think the OP's message inbox would have exploded by now.
I didn't say the two categories are mutually exclusive. But you can notice where the bulk of each person's efforts is directed.
it is if its the only thing you're looking for it but if you're not then there are countless possibilities. One of which being that he'd read up on her work, was excited about it and blurted it out accidentally instead of letting her talk about it.

If there was a second woman on the panel then we'd have greater clarity about making the assertion if he behaved the same way. Sadly there wasn't which means that we should be cautious about labelling it as out and out sexism.
I don't expect he set out that day to make the scientist shut up because she was a woman. A lot of sexism is so deeply rooted that it's not even hostile by the men who engage in it, it's simply the acting of the cultural norms, for example, that men can talk over women.

I don't have a sexist bone in my body and I've caught myself doing this. The only way we improve as a society is to continuously monitor and correct each other because this stuff is laid so deep in our cultural consciousness that catching ourselves every time by ourselves is not reasonable to expect.
