It you didn't read, they are talking about overall average declines in working on the order of a couple hours a week.
Neat, but horrid naming for everything. Why does namespace need explicit "cpp_" prefix? Why do classes inside "cpp_redis" namespace still have "redis_" prefix? I would prefer simple "redis::client" so much nicer than "cpp_redis::redis_client"
Here's a counter hypothesis: some men don't work because the economy is bad for them, and they're only playing more video games than they used to because video games have gotten less expensive over the past 20+ years.
Well for one thing, I really think you're taking this a bit too personally. I don't think anyone here is intending to 'shame.'

There is a power differential though: white people enjoy many advantages over other groups; black people (for example) do not. I think it's fair and necessary to point out that white privilege gives an unfair advantage, such that a white person could gain a position of influence/power/responsibility in preference to a more skilled non-white person. It's also important to point out that white privilege is the default position for most of the Western world, so we should assume that, when it could be present, it is present, unless steps are taken to reduce its unfairness.

> There's no evidence I've seen to suggest that

Likewise, there's no evidence that they systemically combat white privilege.
Agreed. It's about fairness to some extent. Software developers are often in the position of providing most of the value of a company while the business people writing the paychecks pay themselves most of the profit.

I've seen situations where the company got $950K of a $1.2 million contract simply for negotiating the contract with the client, while the dev who did 6 months of work got the other $250K. $250K for 6 months work is a lot, but $950K for 2 weeks work + occasional maintenance of the business relationship is a lot more.

Of course, I've also seen the flipside: I worked at a company where the CEO was salaried less than me and his share in the company wasn't likely to grow in value such that his compensation vastly outstripped mine. I've been paid more at other places, but nobody complained about compensation there.

Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) | Software Developer | Copenhagen, Denmark | ONSITE, VISA, SALARY:615k DKK http://www.gbif.org/

GBIF is an international organization and open-data research infrastructure, whose purpose is to make scientific biodiversity data available to all on the Internet.

In other words, like everyone else, we have cat pictures [1], but we also have a cat map [2], and we've started tracking when (and by whom) that data is cited [3].

We're looking for a software developer who will work on the systems behind GBIF.org: our data ingestion system, search indices, APIs, analytics, maps, configuration management, monitoring and so on. The source code for all this is on GitHub: https://github.com/gbif/. No biology knowledge is needed ­— the other developers have this, so strong development and Linux skills are much more important.

The starting salary is 51268 DKK per month (almost €6900/mth) and is exempt from Danish tax. Staff are recruited on the broadest possible geographical basis, so a visa is no problem at all.

For further information, and to apply by email: http://www.gbif.org/newsroom/news/gbif-seeks-software-develo...

ESTA and SOCIAL MEDIA
Hi, I read about Trump’s new policies about screening social media accounts,

Does anyone know what this is? I found information on https://www.onlinevisatravel.com/us-border-control-starts-screening-social-media-accounts/

I would like to travel to California next December, and I need to apply for the ESTA, I wrote to the official website, and they haven’t given me a specific answer. Other agencies that assist in processing the ESTA application like www.estavisaus.org, give me more information but it’s too difficult to find out when Trump will start with these security measures.

Yes (thank you for clarifying this point for others), the first mail is sent a month before expiration, and the certs are renewable after a month.

So with a weekly cron (for example) you should never get any mail from LE. That's why I meant. Thanks again.

Analysis of TeleBots’ cunning backdoor
The whole argument is built on ignoring the question "why aren't employers hiring young men" and asking the very presumptuous question "Why don't young men want to work?"

I can't get access to the full paper without paying $5, which I'm not going to do, however the abstract doesn't sound very convincing either, making the argument that video games take up a larger percentage of men's leisure time, and younger men have more leisure time than older men, so video games must be stopping men from working.

It's not a very convincing argument, and the converse could just as well be true: older men would prefer to spend more time working than enjoying leisure time.
It is entirely possible that they're Hikkomori.
> Anyone who can afford a $1 million 5000+ square foot house deserves very little sympathy for their bad taste

You are disparaging people who are not as knowledgeable as you (elitist); they didn't design the homes, nor approve the development, nor set the zoning. Their casus belli is that they are wealthier than you, and unaware that they're buying the wrong kind of house.

Making fun of rich people for buying stupid stuff isn't punching up; it's making fun of their ignorance, regardless of whether they have more or less money than you, and can be equally applied to poor people making poor purchasing decisions.

Seriously. I don't want to become one of those types to shit on journalists, but trying to deemphasize all the world's issues and pinning it on "those boys and their games" makes it hard to defend.

And the article basically boils down to men "losing" 15 hours of work a year due to games. That's a rounding error considering they say men are working 203 fewer hours than they used to. The study also ignores time spent on social media yet still says "it didn't grow as much as games." Bullshit. I see far more people scrolling hours upon hours on Facebook and twitter than I know of who seriously play games.

Games are the symptom. Dig further and you'll find the cause.
It is interesting to note the randomness, but shouldn't we avoid "order by rand()" clauses, or is there a good use case?

It is true that enrollment in undergraduate CS is highly volatile as potential students alternate from wanting to get in on the gold rush and then they hear arguments like those from your parents, which do have the kernel of truth that computer people face a "glass ceiling" in many organizations.

CS is an unusual academic field because it is situated between math, engineering, and other things. Part of it is focused on the hardware and software prevalent on Earth today but much of the theory is universal.

If you take CS I would suggest doing a dual major with math, you probably don't need to take many additional classes.

But developers and engineers should take the matter into their own hands and don't just bury their head in the sand and let the 'business' people decides their benefits and compensations.

I find 'touchy' people to be really creepy. They ignore the body language of "go the [word] away before I find something to run through you". But you say that in a workplace and people look at you funny.

It's not bonding. It's a power thing, I think. "I can touch you, but if you call it out, then you're the one who is reacting and being 'sensitive'". (reversed, obv).

You may think it's an important part of platonic settings between men, but.. eh, stay away from me.

Accidentally brushing someone in a crowded bar is a red herring. (Unless it's an 'accident'.) That's completely different than invading someone's space to touch their elbow.
Ask HN: Why do you love the USA?
We’re surrounded by much negativity and criticism of the USA. Admittedly, some of that criticism is valid. Whether you live here in the US or not, what are some things that you are proud of or admire about the US, it’s culture, history, attributes, or people?

For example, I’m not sure the source, but I read or heard a neat tribute once to one of the US pilgrims’/founders’ valuable legacies - the entrepreneurial spirit and the drive to continually improve - something that has motivated me and (I’d guess) lots of people on HN.
But React is bloated. Check it out in comparison to something like Mithril which does everything it does and more in a much smaller and faster package.
The information on `/login` should probably be on / so I can read somewhere what "Stateless authentication microservice" actually means.

awk is certainly a really important tool to know, but in general this is poor advice. awk is significantly slower than grep -E, and typing awk commands is often much slower as well. Not to mention that awk only operates on a single stream of data, and can't do operations with file awareness. Sure, use awk's line filtering when you're already going to need awk for something else, but in general your first instinct should be grep.
Matrix is also quite good on this. Homeserver and PSQL (and maybe nginx), done.

Not sure how true (2) and (3) are: you can face new challenges every day in the tiniest consultancy ever, and have all sorts of fun learning about new niches to organically expand into that would make no sense for a VC backed company to waste their time dominating. Sure, it's not going to mollify the CTO who's not satisfied if he's not scaling a service to a million concurrent users or the VP Sales who feels underemployed if he's not running an army of junior salespeople, but if your goal was an organically-grown medium-sized business you probably didn't need their skillset anyway. And some of the roles that scaling up creates requirements for are repetitive drudge work...

Money and income are more complex than that. It is related to ones sense of self-worth, fairness, etc. Ideally, one should try to detach money & income from these senses, as it is a pretty much lose-lose situation. But it's not easy and I think recognizing that it is the case, that it does have impact, can go a fairly long way.
FWIW, Chrome has the ability to do multi-user. So I have different users for different accounts. I know that's not perfect but it does more or less force me to close and reopen. PITA but worth having nearly defined browser silos.

And in a VPN and I think you get at least some chance at some privacy. Hopefully.
German isn't my mother tongue, but I think it's a form of diminutive, which often becomes neuter in Germanic languages, as for instance in Dutch.

I agree it feels silly to learn the gender of "sexless" words; but this case and the rule behind it are quite clear in the respective languages this occurs in. I guess it's not unlike English using neuter for animal pronouns, which feels strange to speakers of most Germanic languages.
Pyrotechnics for the Planet

Another article blaming video games?

Honestly, the reason some people out of work play video games are more likely one of the following:

1. They're fun and they reduce the tedium of everyday life. Others could do the same thing with sports, tabletop games, chess, TV shows and movies, etc. There's no practical difference between an unemployed guy playing video games all day and the same person watching TV all day or playing golf all day. It's merely a way to take your mind off all the boredom while looking for a job.

2. Playing games can in theory be a way out of poverty, at least in today's internet social media driven world. How many of these people have YouTube channels or popular presences online? If you have no other practical options, then trying to make money through video game Let's Plays and YouTube monetisation seems like a decent last resort.

And yes, the job market is broken too. Maybe if companies stopped trying to look only for people with every skill and piece of expertise needed in advance and were willing to train people to do jobs, we might have less people unemployed at the moment. Heck, maybe the New York Times could help here. Stop doing the common media thing of mostly hiring upper class college graduates from privileged families (which seems to be a trend at the moment) and start hiring people who want to work rather than those who whine about how poor people act in internet editorials.
Hey, it would be awesome to have something like this for Python!

The price is definitely a factor here. Look at Steam, Humble Bundle, etc. You can now buy tons of games for less than a dollar each if you time it right.
Also, with our constrained resources, no wonder a percentage can only afford to play video games (as opposed to other pastimes that require significantly more space, transportation and equipment).

Superficially both resource arguments look like exact opposites, but I don't think that they are really conflicting.

That doesn't contradict the claim that they're spending more time on video games. To illustrate: suppose leisure time goes from 25% to 23% and leisure time spent playing video games goes from 1% to 80%.

(N.B.: the core claim is ridiculous for other reasons...)
