> Protip: you won't because you can't.
Growth is the very thing that is needed; prosperity stops population growth. The pattern is clear; nations that have enjoyed high rates of development through "Growth!" (US, most of W. Europe, Japan, etc.) have stabilized their population. Nations that have not continue grow their population, at excessive levels in some cases. Hating on "Growth!", while fashionable, is exactly the wrong approach.
Rust used guard pages, but was still vulnerable to attacks based on jumping over the guard page, which is the same issue that Stack Clash exploited in C programs. The ideal fix for that is stack probing, which Rust is indeed moving towards. However, in the past, Rust had a different fix: it would add a bit to all function prologues that explicitly checked for running out of stack space - based on LLVM split stack support, and a remnant of when (even further in the past) Rust actually used split stacks. The explicit check also protected against jumping over the guard page, but was much more expensive than stack probing, and also caused issues with embedded use cases. The plan was to replace it with stack probing, but things dragged on and it was removed before the replacement was ready.

On the other hand, catering to ignored niches is a good business plan. If you can own a small segment, you can make more money than uselessly going after the center of where your entrenched competitors are.

Once the niche is conquered, this can be used to go after the less nichy segments.

This makes much more sense than your previous response.

When you have unexpected results, you need to examine you assumptions and the methodology behind them.

You can't simply dismiss the results out of hand. In your examples of code coverage, or fast file transfers, you need to dig deeper, not dismiss the results out of hand.

For instance, testing the Object.toString() function (although I'm not sure how you'd test that) is something that could result in abnormally high test coverage. Also, when you transfer a file quite quickly, is the OS doing any sort of compression on the data? Is it only for that file? How lossy is the transfer? Etc etc.

Simply dismissing the results out of hand because they disagree with your preconceived notions of reality is wrong.

Hi Peter, thank you so much for doing this.

I have a question related to the Green Card process with EB2/NIW and simultaneous O1 visa.

Say, someone is on an O1 that is expiring in August 2017. That person also has a Green Card EB2-NIW process ongoing: i140 accepted in December 2016, the NVC immigration visa process is currently on hold, waiting for acceptation of a G28.

Can the O1 visa be extended or can someone apply for another non-immigrant visa while waiting for the immigration visa / Green Card?

How long do you think it would take to get the G28 accepted (it has been 3 months now), and to get the Green card in this way, given the current situation?

How long do you think it would take to be granted an extension of an O1 visa?

Thank you very much.
This survey question was more along the lines of "What text editor do you use: a) vi b) emacs c) Linux"

In such a question, it would be perfectly reasonable to point out that "Linux is not a text editor. Linux users may use vi, emacs, pico, sam... If you want to know if a survey respondent is a Linux user, you need to explicitly ask that question".

As scientists in a field dismissing an outlandish result out of hand is horribly dangerous. As lay consumers of science who don't have the time to double check every paper we hear about we should absolutely ignore counter intuitive papers until such time as they're replicated and accepted by the relevant scientific community.
> I think it helps newcomers and people who feel like they're at the fringe find a community.

Once thing I've noticed is a lot of the diversity events are directed towards college students. Grace Hopper has a large student presence, in addition to conferences like Out for Undergraduate which are for UG students only.

For someone with zero or very little professional experience, to read all these articles about how they will be discriminated against once they start working. Having such resource groups is important, so they know that there are people who do have their back.

Once you're an experienced professional, who has built a network of people who recognize your engineering abilities, this fear is less present on the surface, as it can be easier to avoid toxic people when you have the ability to choose who you work with (in a way a new grad doesn't).

I wonder how long this trend will go on for, and how many wrongful accusations will come out of it. That's not to say all of these claims are fabrications, but it really does seem to be a bandwagon-type of situation. If you'd recall an earlier scandal with a youtube star, Sam Pepper, after the first woman came forward dozens of others claimed to have been sexually harassed by him. At the end of it, it was proven he had never sexually harassed anyone, and that the videos were "pranks" to garner views by Pepper himself. I believe something similar is happening here, and once women see they can make claims with little to no evidence and receive publicity, a flood of them "come forward" in an attempt to gain it.
I once heard that LinkedIn endorsements by fellow co-workers & especially supervisors can come in to play as evidence that you performed well.

If you want to say that the Spanish, Italian, Greek, and Polish cultures aren't crucial to what we consider idealized American values, I will not agree with you (I think the idea of tying those values to geography is inherently silly), but at least it's more intellectually honest than pretending that all Americans of European descent share a set of "western" values that Mexicans lack.

Cards on the table: I am happy to see work done to undo the false coalition of "whiteness" our culture constructed 100 years ago to oppress black people (and, now, Latinos). Let's see the Scandinavian- and German- and Anglo- American population continue trying to run the table on "American values" with the Polish working arm in arm with blacks and Latinos, instead of against them. :)

It sounds crazy hyperbolic to write it out like this, I know! But, from what I can tell: this is what actually happened.

We're pretty deep into a tangent on this thread --- embarrassingly, as was pointed out way up top in response to your original comment, none of this is even what the article is about --- so I'm happy to leave the discussion wrapped up here.
How is it "disconnected from the article"? There's just one concrete accuser. The verbiage in the rest of the article makes it sound like women are systematically harassed and discriminated against at Tesla, which I'd bet a good amount of money is not true.

I totally believe that in any large company there are a few douchebags who harass and discriminate against others (women and men alike). Literally any company of over 1000 people could be subject to this kind of ire.

The question is then "cui bono"? The answer is pretty obvious: next time any SV exec will not even think to engage with people liberal elites don't like.

Yes, that's why things like UEFI were invented to secure the hardware.

Those things are not necessarily bad, the problem is with having control over what your computer runs. It's about whether you decide that or a 3rd party that you might not necessarily trust.

If things are modifiable before the machine boots, and can't be modified once system has booted, then malware should not be able to modify it.
Sometimes specific articles spark a look at a system as a broader whole. I don't see any reason to discourage that.

Also, it's literally a comment using hacker mentality to analyze a system. Why would it not be the top comment on a self-selected-hacker-populated forum?

The same demographic trend is projected to hit the USA if the USA doesn't negate it with immigration.

I used to think that also until I studied economics in college. If you don't understand how deflation can be a bad thing, I suggest spending some time reading up on it. Deflation isn't just about prices drop while all else remains equal.
* >I want inclusivity, not exclusivity.*

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wanted to highlight that one. And despite what has been said downthread, I am going to state what I honestly believe.

TL;DR: any company who isn't trying to attract female engineers is actively shooting themselves in the foot. Before you jump to any conclusions about my statement, please read on because the issue is both subtle and complex. It doesn't fit into a soundbite.

From my experience, after nearly 20 years in the industry and a few more in the university before that, the women who stay in technology field tend to be pretty damn good. As far as I am concerned, the very concept of "Women in Tech" being a thing is, in itself, frustrating.

And now comes the subtle part. I don't believe that gender has anything to do with skills or abilities. The statements so far are not contradictory; my experience simply highlights a deep-rooted problem. The question is not "why are the women in our field better?"; it should be "what are we as an industry doing to all the rest? Why are we discouraging and scaring away the non-stellar ones?"

Now... my observations are not isolated. I have heard and read from several other sources that this is a not an uncommon situation. There is clearly a bias in play.

Either it's selection and observation bias, with only the positive samples showing up ... or it's survivor bias. The latter is a scary thought.

-----

From the research I've read, in the UK the average retention time for female engineers in tech companies is about 1 year. Judging purely by that metric, at Smarkets we are probably doing something right - or at least we are not doing notably worse than the industry overall. Of all our female engineering hires, no-one has left.

I cannot know, but I think that a good part is that we don't treat our female engineers in any special way. They are engineers. Simple as that.
So how is the initial peer discovery happening again? Isnt that part centralised problem? Any suggestions how to solve it?

So, don't go to college and become a regional manager of a lumber company.

I feel like the only reason they can even joke with a headline like this is technically the entry level positions don't require college degrees.

My second guess is the current regional managers making over $1m a year have some type of extended formal education. I could be wrong here, but probably not.

A casual search for "84 lumber manager" on LinkedIn produced 6 relevant listings on the front page - 5 of which had university degrees.

Lucky Break Leads to Controversial Supernova Discovery
There are a lot of problems with the conclusions Radiolab and other science journalism draws from the original study. But this article isn't better: the author dismisses the results of the study as impossible, because it seems impossible, because we would already know, etc.
Thank you for helping me find the right word to describe what most of these diversity, minority outreach programs look like -- ghettoization. It seems that many are more interested in highlighting the presence of minorities in their midst than actually rethinking their conduct. It makes most of the initiatives and discussions here on HN look like a sham.

If I were an affected minority (I am a minority but not in any of the ways that are currently fashionable) I would not want to be highlighted because I am a minority. That is treating people like they are animals in a zoo. What I would want to see is people like me quietly working in their field and really, truly appearing (and being) equal to their peers.

Which is amazing, in a way, that that even needs to be specified. That the majority is so incapable of empathizing with their peers and it seems the only visible response is to highlight "diversity" by pointing to diversity hires. Gag -- WASPs :/
AFAIK it is standard for all 64-bit instructions that use immediates.
> Secondly, Coraline seems to think that human relationships are a one way street: that she is entitled to be direct and even confrontational or insensitive, especially if she believes she is "right" or in a "mentor" role, and yet her peers are expected to walk on eggshells around her, lest they be accused of attacking her.

I got this vibe too. Empathy on the part of others (or rather its lack) is discussed quite a bit, but no consideration is given for the person who wrote the survey who was upset by her feedback. From the subtext it sounds like we are to believe this person was silly to be upset, because the feedback was so anodyne, but it really does seem like a part of the story there is missing. Based on the usage of the "her" pronoun, I'm guessing this other person is also a woman, who also faces issues of harassment and unfairness in tech. And so the lack of empathy for where that person was coming from was quite striking.
Why wouldn't groups of people come forward once they find out that they aren't the only one enduring some bull shit?
You can't really negate it with immigration, can you?

Immigrants are going to retire too, and when they do, you're stuck with even more old people and still not enough working-age people for modern economy to function. Immigration is like going into debt to sustain quality of life.

Worse yet, you can end up with "illegal" elderly with zero savings. That would make for a miserable sight.

Edit: Is the idea to sustain the ever growing population anyway? Until what?
According to Wikipedia, "some granites" contain 10 to 20 ppm of uranium, and the density of granite is about 2.65 g/cm^3. If a rocket contains 10t of pure uranium, that is the same amount of uranium in a cube made of uranium-rich (20 ppm) granite, each side about 57m long.

> The pros vastly outweigh the cons: [...]

This is not true, and sounds like it's written from the perspective of someone who hasn't had to go through this. I don't have personal experience with this, but for many people, it sounds like a very difficult thing to come forward to talk about harassment, with huge potential downsides and stigmas associated with it, even as the wronged party. And anyone prepared to talk about it should be treated with empathy and respect and shouldn't have to face a court of public opinion (like this thread) until whatever appropriate investigations are complete.

Yes, your point is true, that if you act like a sociopath you can exploit this system, but if you act like a sociopath there are many social contracts you can exploit. But I imagine you will find very few people who would actually do this, and it's besides the point for this discussion (and actually counterproductive, if it creates an environment that discourages other people to come forward, thus delaying fixing a very clear and obvious problem for many right now).

I usually try to avoid commenting online on social matters, but there's a lot of unpleasantness here, and it feels important to try and respond to it.
