Oddly enough, I also experienced some weirdness at Best Buy. Worked on the early version of the geek squad (back in 2001 before they had cars and it was just a bunch of computer nerds at a counter). Female store manager made some pretty overt advances, which I declined. I’d had a scheduled vacation the next week. Came back from vacation to learn I’d been fired for inappropriate behavior with the female manager, by the female manager. Nobody wanted to listen to my side of the story or take it seriously. She was still there years later when I happened to go in to buy something.

What I love about TS is that it's up to me how much effort I want to put into the type system. I find that I end up using TS even for very small projects, because I can use it for only 'the important' bits.

That said, my background is mostly Ruby/Python/JS/PHP, so for all I know this is true of many statically typed languages (but from what I read this is not the case).

Still, for those with a background similar to mine I can highly recommend TS as a great starting point for more statically-typed code, precisely because it's opt-in if you want it to be.

Why You Should Hire an Old Programmer
As others pointed out before, women are generally believed, as long as the men who allegedly assaulted them isn't employing a much higher position than the woman.

Is it an irrational fear? As far as probability goes I would say yes. But if you consider the stakes (your career + reputation) plus the cost of countermeasure (having someone with you) it makes sense.
I was responding to the part of your comment where you wrote:

> "I would say it would be extremely rare for a woman (or man) to make baseless accusations from uncertain interpretations. People who bring forward accusations are typically people who've had the same untoward thing done to them repeatedly."

To me, this sounds like your default position would believe the accuser over the accused where no evidence exists. Apologies if this is not what you were trying to convey.

I do agree that vindictive individuals are probably rare, but I do believe that they are out there and I also believe that there are lot of people in the world who look to take offense in innocent situations as I have been confidants of such people in the past and things that I interpret as innocuous can easily be interpreted in a poor light if the person has their "default" mindset to interpret things in a negative light.

And yes, your point about vindictive people is a good one, but I still think that avoiding 1:1 situations would make it much more difficult for such accusations to have as big an impact.
Mike.UNUM LOL GOD U FUNNY

quote:
GE Power is no Johnny-come-lately – their annual revenues are in excess of $ 20 billion – and their XA/21 system has over 3 million operational hours (340 years!) since it was first introduced in 1990. So, on August 14th, 2003, when 50 million people in the Northeast United States and Canada lost power, I am guessing that their QA staff in Florida went home pretty unconcerned that their XA/21 energy management and supervisory control and data acquisition (EMS/SCADA) system had any role to play in the ‘perfect storm’ that hit that day.

But by late October, after GE and their energy consultants from KEMA Inc spent weeks going through 4 million of lines of C/C++ code, they had identified the race condition that led to operators at FirstEnergy Corp’s Akron, Ohio control room being in the dark while three of the company's high voltage lines sagged into unkempt trees and tripped.
Sometimes working late into the night and the early hours of the morning, the team pored over the approximately one-million lines of code that comprise the XA/21's Alarm and Event Processing Routine, written in the C and C++ programming languages. Eventually they were able to reproduce the Ohio alarm crash in GE Energy's Florida laboratory, says Mike Unum [manager of commercial solutions at GE Energy]. "It took us a considerable amount of time to go in and reconstruct the events." In the end, they had to slow down the system, injecting deliberate delays in the code while feeding alarm inputs to the program. About eight weeks after the blackout, the bug was unmasked as a particularly subtle incarnation of a common programming error called a "race condition," triggered on August 14th by a perfect storm of events and alarm conditions on the equipment being monitoring. The bug had a window of opportunity measured in milliseconds.

“There was a couple of processes that were in contention for a common data structure, and through a software coding error in one of the application processes, they were both able to get write access to a data structure at the same time," says Unum. "And that corruption lead to the alarm event application getting into an infinite loop and spinning."
Look... up until a few years ago, I would never^ have had an issue with a 1:1 meeting, i'd had plenty of them. However, in recent years, the media has become so one sided about sex discrimination that I know an accusation could end my career (that's all it takes). Places like Ars Technica, the New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald (and a host of others) paint a very one sided picture of sex discrimination (as do some of the comments in this thread that should have been modded down to oblivion but weren't). It's no accident that it's one sided and it has little bearing on reality#.

It doesn't matter if it's issues like domestic violence# or inappropriate behaviour in the workplace (eg. Marissa Mayer and her significantly under reported and alleged sacking of most of the male staff at Yahoo), the media continually present a one sided story to the point that we now almost solely accuse men of sexism. We've even had an Australian politician from Queensland try to legislate crimes by gender, with almost no criticism from the media. She's still in office because the media gloss over her sexist attitudes. If it were a man, he'd be out of government within a week. This has been going on for years.

So, I understand people becoming extremely wary. If the media wasn't so consistently prejudiced, the picture might be a little different.

^ Having said never (above), it's not quite true. I have been sexually harassed (physically and verbally in the work place). I was terrified to report it because one reverse accusation could have finished me. Thankfully, one of my bosses saw how stressed I was and this woman had a history of harassing male colleagues. Nobody would touch her for fear of recrimination, but, my boss ensured the opportunity of sexual harassment toward me was avoided.

# Perform a search on domestic violence using Google. Look at the imagery. You will see almost only white adult females as victims and white males as perpetrators (across thousands and thousands of images). The same one sided dialog is given in the articles linked to those images. Compare this one-sidedness to the actual stats and the story is very different (30-50% of the aggressors of domestic violence are female [1][2][3][4]). This is just one of the more extreme issues (ie. ignoring domestic violence females across the media) that underlies how imbalanced (and consistently imbalanced) the majority of western media are. There are many other examples of this one-sidedness other than this one topic. However, it's good to illustrate how easily people are blinkered to a topic as fundamental as victims of violence.

Stats to support my domestic violence comments are from government sites (where possible) because they are the most credible.

I'm working in a small office with 4 to 5 developers. I actually enjoy the company and don't mind the occasional phone call or chat. Sometimes I can overhear another conversation and add my 5 cents to it, which I believe to be valuable.

We also use slack and 'idle-ping' other team members first and keep conversations in slack if possible. This works quite well, too.

Recently we had an intern, which had a very annoying tic: While listening to headphones he now and then started to sing/whistle/hiss along, quietly but audible. It's strange and a personality thing, but it took quite a few days until I snapped and told him to stop. It also started again after a couple of days and I had to tell him again.

There a two things to note: For some people it takes a lot to complain about something and for some people it takes a lot to change a habit. In a large office this can be problematic.
I wonder if there are any avenues to do this as a sole proprietor? I'm an unattached programmer with a bunch of independent projects released and in the works, but I'm not really interested in doing a full-on "startup". Currently looking into DAFT, but I think France is a bit closer to my heart!
Does anyone know what exactly Stallman means by 'functional part'?
I would have assumed it to mean something like one feature, or perhaps one procedure, but that does not quite add up with his examples having two to three times as many 'functional parts' as they have lines of code.
Your point about having video evidence brings up an interesting question for me, how does the HN community generally feel about pervasive workplace surveillance? It seems based on some of the articles I've read about harassment, that many times people will only feel comfortable coming forward when they have hard evidence such as texts, emails, video, etc against the perpetrators.

Seeing as we, in the US at least, seem to be fairly comfortable with having a pervasive surveillance state(lets ignore for a second whether this is rational, I personally believe the pendulum has swung way too far to the side of surveillance) due to the threat of terrorism, maybe we should also embrace this in our professional lives.

I personally think harassment in the workplace probably affects the day to day lives of more Americans than terrorism does. Is it time to institute these kinds of surveillance practices in the workplace? Maybe have 24 hour video/audio surveillance at work, disallow off work socializing between employees holding differing levels of seniority, only allow approved, and recorded, methods of communication?

For the record, I'm not sure how I would feel about such things, I'm leaning towards it being fraught with all sorts of negative unintended consequences, so if its a stupid idea please let me know, I'm simply curious to hear some opinions.

Edited for clarity.
People have been saying this for years now. Yet here we are and Dropbox still is the most polished product, even compared to big names like Apple, Microsoft and Amazon.
There's truth in that, although I'd say the composition is still wrong. Famously, Midsomer Murders is way less diverse that the average Cambridgeshire village (which no-one would describe as a melting-pot). Equally, there really aren't that many decent Asian roles either (there have been some successful comedies, some good, some bad). And London... well, this isn't really about race but London rarely looks like London.

As an aside, the PC Peter Grant series (aka Rivers of London) depicts London way more accurately than most fiction, despite teeming with elves and goblins.

IMO it is unlikely, because France's state budget (always in huge deficit since 10 years) is already under scrutinity by EU commission, which means in practice that France has to implement in law whatever the EU commission "recommends".

VAT is just one source, but at 15-20% of government revenue, it is an important source. Most of it will be generated by business that physically happens in the country, and is unambiguously taxed there, but more and more of business is moving online.

Selling from low-VAT countries is a problem because it is a fictional accounting move. If you buy a product from Amazon.co.uk, delivered from an UK warehouse to an UK address - or from Amazon.de, delivered from a German warehouse to a German address - then it is still billed through Luxembourg. Even though by all non-accounting measures it is business happening inside the UK and Germany. The only reason for choosing Luxembourg is tax rate optimisation, not because there's an actual place of business there.

It's understandable that most countries in the EU would want to keep taxes on business that happens in their country to themselves. If VAT exists at all, then it makes sense not to gift it to Luxembourg. So the rules were changed to remove this accounting trick.

It seems at the moment only Caffe is public and it's a port of the CUDA version to OpenCL [0][1] to allow it to run on AMD GPUs like the recently released AMD Vega Frontier Edition. From the wording on the page it looks like it could be an equivalent to CuDNN.

Fair enough, I guess it's different in legal states in the US, where you can actually buy edibles with a specific amount of THC in them.
I've experienced imposter syndrome. For me it was the result of being too dependant on being good at tech to give me self esteem.

A more robust way to get self esteem is to get it from multiple sources. E.g. Volunteering has helped me a lot. Coaching others some coding skills reminds me that I actually do know a lot.

Also I think the thing that will help the most is to be less tech focused. Meet up with family and friends more. Exercise with others.
I think you misunderstood some of OP's points.

For 1) the problem is not that the companies use industrial yeast, but that they take already perfectly good wine, and "reyeast" it to fake how and where it was made.

For 2) as well, surely people are allowed to enjoy wine made with oak flakes, but the producers should be honest about it.

More transparency and labels such as the suggested "wine drink" can only help consumers.

On this, I think you and I are in agreement.

Not because of fear of consequences for me, but to provide the best environment for my coworkers.

If you really, really want to write rock solid frontend code, then you use Elm. Elm is a language that compiles to javascript and probably is the most frustrating language there is for javascript developers. Strongly typed and pure functional means no variables - only a redux like common state, no functions with side-effects - so you can't just execute rest service calls without taking special care and run time type checking. Elm is a tough medicine, but it works. Your code becomes testable and reliant. And it makes TypeScript looks like a toy language.

From a quick google search surveys show that American's almost unanimously find cheating morally wrong, and 60% of all children in America are born to married parents.

>Outside Christian communities, sex, family, and marriage are not inherently related

I don't think you can say that at all. Looking at the marriage rates in looks like the majority of sex is probably happening in married relationships, even outside of conservative Christian communities. The average American may be OK with sex outside of marriage, but I think they're still pretty related in most people's minds.

Apple's trackpads provide haptic feedback. If you push them gently, there is a soft click, if you push them more, there is a hard click.

An additional benefit over hard buttons is that applications can use it for additional feedback. E.g. OmniGraffle provides subtle haptic feedback via the trackpad when objects align, which I find extremely handy for quickly aligning objects.

Whoever choose letter p (suggesting probability) over s (significance) or e1 (type 1 error value) did a major disservice to the world of science.

P value is a measure of error (And not a probability but maybe one kind of likelihood), not evidence, how likely it is we are seeing the result of a chance. (How the chance is defined is important and hidden in the method used to compute the p value.) And any hard cutoff is really missing the point, there is a reason this is a number not a binary value.

Effect size estimate or risk ratio are much more useful numbers anyway.
Absolutely not. The reason things are like described ( although it's not as bad today), is because many sectors are heavily regulated, and belong to a few actors abusing their monopolistic position. There's a reason the european union gave a 500millions fine to the french bank a decade ago ( but things didn't move a lot).

As an example, all the online banking start ups belong ( or were created as subsidiaries of) big banks. All of them.
I heard a story about him where he fired someone in an elevator because he found out they didn't have a degree.
Why make the study with colored wine, when you could just blindfold the participants? It seems to me that would better distinguish whether visual aids are necessary or just helpful.
Both if possible. Don't look wealthy, do look like you can defend yourself, being male helps, being young helps. It's unfortunate, but there are reasons that I don't get messed with ever and yet other people set foot off the plane and are robbed mere hours later (my uncle for example, who visited me in Phnom Penh).

I don't mean to blame anyone for being robbed, but being a little clueless and careless is definitely one of the main causes too. People forget that the cost of a new iPhone is almost the same as the average yearly wage in Cambodia. It's like seeing someone walking in a big US city with 20,000$ in hand, from the thief's perspective.

Cambodia is a very nice place in general though.
I agree.

In addition, food quality is miles ahead
1. Isn't "reyeast"ing only going to work if there's still significant sugar content in the must? If so, then it's just like any other wine company importing/sourcing their fruit, and then adding their yeast in-house. This is VERY common practice. I vint in central california, and if a bottle of wine doesn't explicitly say "estate" on the bottle, they're sourcing their grapes from somewhere off-site (usually still in the same region, but not always. as the label gets larger, the chances increase that you're going out of the region).

2.Oak flakes vs barrels is very obvious if you know what to look for. The rounding out of flavors via microoxygenation is apparent on a bottle that's seen barrel time.

This study was for beginning wine students. Of course they're going to try to pass the test with the information that had just been provided them (red==this, white==that).
