There are very specific definitions of sexual harassment. Asking a coworker out once when neither of you is in the other's chain of command isn't anywhere near that. If you believe that the word no means 'try again tomorrow', feel like part of asking out is to mention that there will be negative consequences for saying no, or work-related advantages for saying yes, and ignore others when they tell you your behavior is making them uncomfortable, then you are going in the road towards harassment.

Let's be realistic about harassment: While seeing something like this triggers fear that suddenly innocent behavior will lead to harassment calls, in practice, your typical male engineer will get away with habitual misbehavior: An employer will only get involved if the behavior at least comes close to qualify as harassment and is well documented. One has to be quite clueless to get anywhere near that level accidentally.

We can be afraid, but that doesn't make the fear well founded. The cases that we see in the media involve systemic, repeated misbehavior from people in situations of power, not a random IC that asks a woman engineer out politely when she isn't interested. Asking your coworkers out is fine.

A good antidote to the fears is to just listen to women talk about what they deal with. There's plenty of articles out there, and heck, even tweet storms form well known women engineers, explaining the kind of shitty behavior they are exposed to every day. It will show you how there's an abyss between what you think is OK and what they have to put up with.
You lost that battle 15 years ago, and rightly so.
Your model fails to admit the possibility of researchers who do better or worse work.
The title is kind of misleading. It seems to be arguing that the new CSS grid layout is extremely powerful, but the title implies otherwise.
If you've been following CSS grid at all, or if you look up anything related to it, you'll probably encounter something written by Rachel Andrew. She's been doing an incredible job at documenting and promoting CSS grid.

In the past she wrote a CSS grid polyfill [0], but sadly it never got updated to the latest version of the spec. It'd be an easier sell if you could polyfill it reasonably on some older browsers, even if performance suffered a bit.

Right now the last holdout is Edge [1], which is funny because they were the first to ship the older spec, going back as far as IE10 or IE11. Luckily, the next version will be shipping the latest spec.

I've noticed autoprefixer [2] supports a grid option. I'd love a guide that explained any incompatibilities between the two versions. Getting a mostly working grid on IE11 and Edge would probably make it an easier sell for many.

When flexbox started growing popular there were guides showing you could support most features on IE10 and beyond with little effort if you used autoprefixer. Since there are equivalent versions of most attributes on older browsers, you just had to be aware of bugs and gotchas. For example, the default value for flex-grow, flex-shrink, and flex-basis (and their older equivalents) changed between versions, so if you always had to set them. In addition to any incompatibilities between versions, all implementations were buggy, so you had to be aware of bugs and their workarounds. Luckily, they're all well documented on the flexbugs [3] repo.

Considering grid is more complicated than flexbox, I wouldn't be surprised to find it has a few bugs. Does anyone know if there's a gridbugs repo that developers can track?

EDIT: After a quick search, I found a blog post [4] talking about supporting the older version.

> "it's because ideological battle is not what the site is for"

If this is actually true then why do you keep removing flags from ideological submissions and force them into the front page when me (and others like me) keep flagging and asking to stop with the ideological posts? Quite the conundrum, isn't it?

> "We've asked you before to stop this"

Can you actually point when that happened

> "If you continue to descend into using HN exclusively for ideological battle and fulmination, we're going to have to ban you"

I clearly don't use HN for "ideological battle and fulmination" my comments clearly go into the technical realm whenever you don't keep editorializing the front page and removing flags from the actual ideological submissions. But so what if you ban me? We already understood that our downvotes and flags mean nothing since you keep removing them whenever they go against $your_politics Dang, so it's not like we miss absolutely anything by just making a new account and keep calling out your double standards with it.
While certainly Haskell lets you do more, you can get some interesting help from even the C type system. For instance, I was able to enforce "this can only be called from the main thread" with no runtime overhead.
The biological differences produce different aptitudes and interests in men and women, which causes men and women to select different careers.

Anyway, I agree there's overlap in what accountants and programmers do like you described in your debugging example.

However, the main differentiating factors I pointed out were (1) more unknown territory (e.g. building things that don't exist yet) and (2) more risk involved in attempting the types of challenges programmers face (e.g. 50% of software projects fail). In contrast, accounting is a highly regulated field, more deterministic, and provides more job security. I'd say that puts it more in the middle of the spectrum between stereotypically female careers like nursing and stereotypically male careers like engineering.
They're not writing queries/API calls inside components. They're defining the components' data requirements alongside the components.
no the sentiment from the article was communicated precisely in the title for me.
I agree 100%, but I don't think we're in that society yet.

> How many untold stories are there where they 'quit their jobs, remortgaged their houses' and now they live in a cardboard box under a bridge and their kids have been taken into care

Oh please, stop with the scare mentality.

Even if things go badly they are still educated, hard working people and would have no problem at all getting an entry level position in one day flat and living modestly for a decade or so.

They're not going to live in cardboard boxes.
You can't escape a train very easily by comparison to a building.
It could be argued, I think, yes. I do understand your point, it is something I ponder often.
Yeah, some nuance is lost when you label everyone who asks a co-worker out on a date a 'sexual harasser'.
No, you're wrong. That person was trolling and deserves all the negativity they got.
It just goes to show how much implicit context you have if you get the joke.
A campaign to change company HR policies can actually accomplish something. HR policies set expectations. All companies have a policy against dating within the chain of command. I bet that in the future, a lot of companies are also going to have language about not starting relationships with suppliers, customers, investors, etc. Given all of the mess with conferences, that could use a little policy, too...
This is bullshit. This is a lead paragraph:

I made advances towards multiple women in work-related situations, where it was clearly inappropriate. I put people in compromising and inappropriate situations, and I selfishly took advantage of those situations where I should have known better. My behavior was inexcusable and wrong.

There isn't any equivocating there. Dave acknowledged what he did was wrong, and took responsibility. I'm not saying he's some sort of great guy for apologizing, and he deserves to face the consequences of his actions. I am arguing that if people sincerely acknowledge their mistakes, and take steps to make amends, demands of "you're apologizing too much/not enough/wrong" are just vengeance and are not actually going to fix the problem in the long run.
>people are human and make mistakes

Our legal system is not forgiving of people that make mistakes.

"I accidentally fell asleep at the wheel and killed someone" = manslaughter = prison.

What this person did is very wrong, and everyone who does it should be punished, regardless of their obscurity/fame.
On the Internet?!
Cheers! Don't hesitate to reach out if there is something specific you would like me to photograph/film/write about!
If you're their superior, then yes, definitely.
This is a useless reply, and it has become pervasive. Technically anyone not a part of the solution is part of the problem. Instead maybe clarify on what you find objectionable to help everyone out, including parent.
Some insurers like UnitedHealthCare provide a free subscription to http://healthiestyou.com/.

In what way is OP 'part of the problem'? If the other party wishes to also pursue a romantic relationship - what's the problem?
Can you given some more details? A screen shot demonstrating the low quality would be nice. Not that I don't what your saying.

Hopefully OReilly wanted only to cut costs, and is still willing to make high quality preorders and DRM free media available through some other source.
> he just wants that beach.

He wants to win the principle to control the access to the beach. Sorry to be pedantic, but if he would be living there full-time, he might have an argument, but he doesn't.
Sexual harrasment? What he did was unethical, immoral and objectively wrong, sexual harrasment is a crime. This wasn't a crime.

I'm sure, as a perfect individual you've never done anything unethical or immoral. As such, your "never forgive" attitude is perfectly justifiable.
From linked nytimes:

> Many of the women also said they believed they had limited ability to push back against inappropriate behavior, often because they needed funding, a job or other help.

> Lindsay Meyer in her home in San Francisco. She said a venture capitalist groped and kissed her. “I felt like I had to tolerate it because this is the cost of being a nonwhite female founder,” she said.

> They put up with the comments, Ms. Renock said, because they “couldn’t imagine a world in which that $500,000 wasn’t on the table anymore.”

Without reducing blame on the perpetrators:

As someone who loves women as he loves his fellow man, I would say

Women out there, don't morally bankrupt yourselves just to get something that you want! We need you to be better than that.

Let's create a world with better women, nay people, who are morally upright!

FastSigmoids uses float and double types which would be problematic in embedded environments.
I wish there was a way to give imaginary internet upvote points to all the people who didn't act like harassing shitheads, but I guess we're stuck with giving them to this asshole, who whines about "this isn't who I am!" and "I invested in so many of my LGBTQ friends!" months or years afterwords when finally called out on it.
>90% of our 250 million daily requests get handled in less than 10 milliseconds.

Minor nit, but with that level of traffic I'd expect you to be bragging about P99.99 latency, not P90.
A judge having "near limitless power," that sure sounds fancy, or scary depending how you look at it. But ok, I'll play: What's it all gonna cost if they decide to wield their limitless power. Financially and/or otherwise. Is it in or against their best interest to pursue?

Because I think a lot of judiciaries are just like companies in the sense of not wanting to draw unwanted attention, risk high costs or worse – having to deal with awkward situations at posh drinking events — think I got that last part from a movie.
So.... literal a judgement not based on objective data, but a subjective interpretation of the meaning behind his words.

Totally not a value judgement.

Obviously the simplest solution is to have a third detector, located far away from the other two. I'm surprised the article didn't even mention that.
That's probably correct. His 'apology' included a contradiction of certain statements made in the NY Times story by the woman he harassed, specifically that her rejection of him was the reason she was not being hired by his company. I think he wanted that on the record.

What kind of place are the moderators of HN running here where this kind of comment is allowed? It's absolutely ridiculous the double standards going on here.
I think Hsu's Co-dfn compiler compiles to GPU for running very high performance code if you use the parallel co-dfn paradigm. I'm not sure if you have to just use GPUs or if it gives you a native binary you can use for other purposes. The other problem is you have to have Dyalog APL, which ain't cheap. I think a new array language that has a REPL that JITs to LLVM (good for prototyping, debugging, and testing) and AOT compilation to LLVM for scripts would be amazing for sharing code and deployment.
Conversion from/to float and double, multiplication, division and reciprocation are implemented and should be working properly.

The next big TODOs are addition, substraction and rounding. Then advanced operations like sqrt, fma, etc. As part of the posit spec.

I've been working alone on that project, this being my first time working with floating point representation. I'm happy I could even get to that stage, and I hope someone can pick up my work and start contributing.

The amount Sacca's been virtue signaling about gender equality, racism, how much he loves his wife -- for the last 3 years -- I knew something was up. When he started posting that he had moved to Montana, I got the feeling he was in hiding.
>Politicians also love the government prison complex. It supports their power by making sure taxes remain artificially high, which keeps their slush funds higher, and they can basically build jobs in their voting districts with government prisons.

This doesn't make any sort of accounting sense. This doesn't keep taxes "artificially" high. That money is collected in taxes because there is a very expensive program that needs to be funded. There no greater opportunity for embezzlement in your scenario than out of your scenario.

Your argument is fine without this claim, though. LEO unions are profoundly fucked up institutions.
How about "Would you be interested in going on a date some time?" And if the answer is "No thanks" the response to that can be "OK, I understand."

Have we all become so engrossed with our smartphones 24/7 we've forgotten how to be face-to-face direct with other actual humans?
It's not necessarily about power imbalances - subordinates might express interest in a superior, or a colleague might interest in another colleague, and both situations can be just as problematic as a superior expressing interest in a subordinate.

The problem is simply one person deciding to single out another person for any deviation of expected treatment especially when it has no relation to the social context or work performance/duties.

Hitting on a coworker is potentially as problematic as inviting a coworker to church. Being extra friendly to a coworker or customer of a different gender is just as problematic as being nasty and disrespectful to a coworker or client of a different ethnicity. Every scenario mentioned is grounds for making the person or possibly even those next to the person uncomfortable, leading to harassment claims. Furthermore, the idea of only behaving a certain way if the other party consents is a lack of principle. It potentially jeopardizes the protections a workplace is supposed to provide to all workers and customers. Just because a door is left open does not mean one should enter.
I don't think there are any LLVM APL compilers or I would definitely look. I think both Dyalog, J, and K use regular C as the VM. Arthur Whitney is said to have written the first K compiler in only a few (like 3-5) pages of C. Do you think it'd be easier to start with using a custom C VM over LLVM? I have a little C experience and no LLVM, but I see it being used for a lot these days (Julia, D, Rust, Swift, Crystal...etc).

That's the whole point of asking someone out -- to find out whether the feelings are mutual.
The biggest difference between packed trains in Japan and the U.S. is when "just one more person" tries to get on the train. In Japan, everybody will sigh and groan and shuffle around to make a bit more room. In America, the riders near the door will stiff-arm the guy back onto the platform.

"Next train, buddy..."
Thank you. That was an awful read.
> It's a qualified apology. I dislike how he not-so-subtly tries to justify his actions by painting a context that delegitimizes Sarah's claims.

What claims were "deligitimized" and how did he do it?

As for everything else you wrote I'll just say it must be awful living with such a misanthropic view but, hey, you do you.
It turns out in 2017 innovators can spread their own knowledge, and sell their own multi-format ebooks in large numbers (keeping most of the revenue).

If I had a tech book in me I'd be trying to steal from Wes Bos's playbook, not get on a call with an O'Reilly editor.
This is such a dumb argument. Google already did and does censorship per country (including adhering to Chinese law back when they operated there) and so does their subsidiary YouTube (in regards to copyright, maybe in other areas too). At no point was "Tianmen square" search banned to "the rest of us" because of this. In EU it already censors some searches because of the "law to be forgotten". The technology to do this censorship without making any country adhere to law of any other country online is clearly feasible, seamless and even already in place and active.
In the grand scheme of cryptos it doesn't really matter what the current value of a coin is as long as it meets its use case. But that is unrelated to your point. Most people can avoid these strategies with trivial ease. With the introduction of lightning and atomic swaps, trivial will become mundane. Less than mundane? It will quite literally not exist as an issue. My theory is that it is this introduction that is finally getting push back from banker types. Anyone who understands it thinks "pop! There goes the genie"

And no one will trade with those exchanges.

Might need to put some provisos on those plane tickets. I've known some Americans who have traveled to Europe planning to just take Uber everywhere, even when it would be faster and cheaper to take transit, not to mention more fulfilling. (The U.K. transit employees who don't mention the Oyster card aren't helping either.)
Good idea, I started reading Hui's book on J's internals before. Maybe it's time to take another look.
This is true, but what has the higher net social utility: a system that treats the 1% of social deviants equally at the expense of a loss of social cohesion, or a system that treats the 1% of social deviants poorly while maintaining a friendly social environment for the 99%? The answer isn't immediately obvious, and depends on what degree of deviance the local culture will tolerate, so I could see it going either way.

However, I do think the concern is a bit overstated; especially in northern towns, the primary cultural identity shared by the inhabitants would most accurately be described as "outdoorsman" rather than any religious or ethnic affiliation. There's more to it than that, but overall it was pretty accessible as long as you were willing to adapt.
Reading these comments makes me really depressed for the future of our society. Let me get this straight -

1. Don't go out with co-workers.
2. Don't make friends with co-workers.
3. Def. never drink with co-workers.

Have we really become this sensitive? There's a voice in me that's screaming 'fuck off' to this kind of attitude. I can't quite articulate why it infuriates me so much.
> Network of people you know and their willingness to work with you again are quite helpful in both getting new jobs and telling you how the workplace really looks like before you go to interview.

Exactly how many of your jobs have helped you in any way in getting the next one? Hell, I have never even been asked references. Maybe we just work in entirely different industries and you're making too many assumptions.

> It is that you get to look like a good guy in the end and she gets to feel bad/look bad in the eyes of the management.

Perhaps and whoever accused him should feel bad, but won't, people who take advantage of the power that a false accusation gives tend to be sociopaths, they don't care about the person they're accusing nor about actual victims.

> If he ends up looking like manipulative asshole, then he won't get that.

He won't.

Oddly enough, the same thought's occurred to me of an investment firm with very strong ties to the NSA and cryptography community, with offices located in an interesting position relative to both cable landfalls and some government facilities, as well as a reputation for absolute gee-wizardry and completely-beyond-unbelievable investment returns.

To the point that I hesitate to post this even under my pseudonymic profile.

It's absolutely the stuff of very, very, very bad conspiracy theories. I'd love to prove myself wrong.
Not at all, until they express interest in you.
The problem with your argument is that you're looking backwards at what the government has done to predict what it will do. What if someone like Trump is elected? Oh wait, there went that theory. How about what the south African government did or what the American dixiecrats would have done (further) if they had they power to suppress speech?
You're arguing opinions as facts and making me debate semantics. I don't agree that this was trolling by the least.

Also – since these are just opinions, they are worth equally much. The truth isn't something you or anyone else owns. And what do you mean, 'deserves.'

This isn't trolling. This person is arguing, is what I think. Arguing civilly which is what this is, should be possible out here in the boonies (whith which I mean HN, in the most amical way).
