But you're right. A number of people I've spoken to about parental leave (not all of whom have been men) are skeptical of paternity leave because they largely see maternity leave as an opportunity to recover from the physical and medical hardships of child birth, with emotional bonding merely an ancillary benefit. Even if that's true, creating gender independent norms avoids giving ammunition to the quietly sexist eye-rollers who use maternity leave to devalue female coworkers. While it would be better to just make a quantum leap to the ideal world where no one holds those opinions in the first place, existing cultural norms and beliefs naturally constrain policy on a pragmatic level and we have to work within those constraints as best we can.

It's funny to see these fumbling efforts toward those goals by companies from a different culture than my own, though. I can't imagine even the most politically naive and insensitive American manager suggesting this idea, outside of a Michael Scott from the Office type parody. Is it because we tackled basic issues with women in the workplace earlier than India because we modernized faster? Like is this the sort of idea bumbling Dilbert-esque middle managers in corporate America proposed during the mid-70s? Or is there some underlying difference in cultural taboos about discussing periods? I have to confess that India is one country where I am not very well informed about the culture on the ground as I haven't spent any time there.
Having worked as a contractor for many years, I can say with absolute certainty that actual excess refactoring is not a problem, but that claims of refactoring very much are.

Again: when a contractor is backlogged, "we're refactoring" is the go-to justification for the delay.
No. It's very easy/cheap to setup something like wordpress. Teaching a client how to generate a static site is dificult and clients will have to go back to the documentation if they don't use it for a while. If you have a ui you only have to remember the /admin url and everything else is just looking at the screen and clicking the right thing.

Rust is a cool language for safe low-level programming with concurrency, but it is not targeted at program verification. F* can also do safe low-level programming by extraction to C, while also verifying that the code is functionally correct and secure. That's of course a lot more work, but also a lot stronger than the kind of guarantees one can get informally in rust (e.g. memory safety).
Django Eraserhead-provide hints to optimize database usage
Depends what you mean by "static" at this point. I've created sites that were updated infrequently, and so I wrote a script to build out a static mirror of the site after updating. By exposing only the static mirror you get the best of both worlds. For a higher end setup, you can run a static caching layer on the HTTP server netting you the same performance benefits but without manually building the mirrored version.
The recent changes to /usr and /usr/local are a good example:

https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade60.html

The wxallowed mount option. W^X is now strictly enforced by default; a program can only violate it if it is located on a filesystem mounted with the wxallowed mount(8) option. This allows the base system to be more secure as long as /usr/local is a separate filesystem.

The base system has no W^X-violating programs, but the ports tree contains quite a few: chromium, mono, node, gnome, libreoffice, jdk, zeal, etc. If you want to run any of these ports on a regular basis, you need to add wxallowed to the mount options for /usr/local in fstab(5), e.g.:

01020304050607.h /usr/local ffs rw,nodev,wxallowed 1 2

Small disks may not have a separate partition for /usr/local. In that case, add wxallowed to the smallest partition containing it: /usr or /.

Starting a W^X-violating program from a partition without the wxallowed mount option will produce a core dump and the dmesg(8) will contain an entry such as soffice.bin(15529): mprotect W^X violation. You can temporarily allow W^X-violating ports by issuing mount -uo wxallowed /usr/local.

It will certainly be interesting to see if data analysis can garner a greater understanding of these triggers over time.
The specification is simple in the sense that it is easy to understand what it states and to confirm that it has the intended meaning. This does not mean that all proofs of the specification will be simple, but once you do construct a machine-checkable proof of the specification, your level of confidence that the system is correct will be extremely high (commensurate to the simplicity of the specification) and will not depend on the complexity of the proof.

But there are number of health conditions that either gender can get that are rare and lead to many days of significant pain. Some even can result in bleeding similar to periods. Do we given these issues their own days off for those unlucky enough to have them? Or is it only counted in sick leave?
Europe by and large doesn't know the concept of "sick days". When you get sick, you stay home. If you get cancer, you stay off work for a year if necessary.

In my country, there's a system to reimburse companies for their costs after a certain number of sick days–3 weeks I believe. That protects smaller companies, who might otherwise get into serious trouble if, say, one of three employees can no longer work but still gets a salary.

Of course there are trade-offs involved. It does cost some money, and it does add a bit of bureaucracy. Some abuse may also happen, although by and large it's rather low–there are some 'social' control mechanisms, and the data pretty clearly shows that absenteeism is directly linked to employee satisfaction.

The idea that nationalism will save industry is a welcome opinion in rural America right now (speaking as a white male in rural America) but a welcome opinion does not equal (and in fact, rarely does equal) a CORRECT idea. White men need to not take this shit personally which believe me, I understand is incredibly hard to do but the fact is that people like me were born into a system designed by people like me, for people like me, and even though I've had my share of rough times, I can't then go and claim that racism and sexism are over because I overcame them and I've seen women do the same thing.

Just because one room is saved does not mean the rest of the house is therefore no longer on fire and we can all go home. There is still work to do, and "good enough" for 51% of the population, is just not good enough.

Now if you want to make the case that an opinion or idea that makes you feel good is inherently as legitimate as one backed by numerous anecdotal accounts, solid demographic data, and downward trends in the industry then you're free to die on that hill, but I will not be doing so.

I'll stick with common sense on this one, if you can't see that you and all other educated adults have personal responsibility and that you can influence markets based on your choices as a consumer well, that's a shame.

There can be personal action which can coincide with group and political action.
Haha, just wait. It's the normal market manipulation...

Throwaway because no one wants to hear about periods. I am a woman and one time my body decided to have an extremely heavy and painful flow for about a week straight. I had been sick with a cold immediately before that, so I had already let my employer know that I was not feeling well and would be taking some days off, and I did not feel the need to tell my employer every little detail about what was going on. Every morning I would text something along the lines of, "I'm still not feeling well."

After about the third day of being out my boss texted me with a suggestion that I go see a doctor. When I finally got back to the office he wanted to see a doctor's note. I did not go to the doctor, because more extreme bleeding is something that is expected after having an IUD inserted.

I was at home in extreme pain, changing out adult diapers about 3 times a day that were completely soaked with blood. I think this 100% is a good enough reason to not come into work, and it's sort of bull that my boss was asking about my personal business when we are already a company that combines sick days with vacation days as PTO.

I actually did fill my boss in on all the gory details since he wouldn't let up on the doctor's note, but this is absolutely something that I should NEVER have to disclose to someone to be able to keep my job.

I don't really have a good solution here. I want the 12 extra holiday days for everyone solution to work, but there will always be people abusing their limited amount of power to unnecessarily investigate what we are using our PTO for.

Even if men and women are given the same amount of leave, there are still two problems. First, social norms lead to men and women not using it equally. Second, single individuals don't have equal access given that society has a significant gender disparity in single parents, that men can't get pregnant, and that even if the leave is equal for adoption, there is still discrimination in adoption.

These are all energy companies. I think there should also be a study on which are the top consumers of their products to better correlate data and change consumer behavior. As an example - one of my pet peeves is the resistance to remote work where possible. The amount of gas and time saved not commuting to work every day has got to be quite significant (along with the need to maintain smaller offices, etc.). If it can be quantified in terms of greenhouse gas emissions there may be more acceptance.
That's a straw man though, people can call for regulation just because it is effective and doesn't create enormous hassle for themselves personally (trying to find the one product that is environmentally responsible or whatever). They don't have to believe it is necessarily the only solution.
Will be interesting to see when the next generation of "content APIs" hit - client updates a field in a backend somewhere and it rolls out to static sites, apps, bots etc... all over.
I'm not familiar with what "built on top of" means in this case, as it pertains to overall cryptocurrency value. Is it additional, actual coin with tradable value? Is it a derivative? Can someone describe in comparison to traditional means what this is?

That's pretty cool. I almost wonder if someone could use this type of tech for a cheap way of mapping the inside of structures/homes. Something like an ARKit -> Sketchup service. That or a good way to monitor job-sites for correctness, remotely.
I have no idea what I'm talking about in this area, but the only brain games I've run into that I think might actually be helpful are the ones that are somewhat painful, e.g., BrainHQ. Definitely not fun. I start to sweat just thinking about some of the tasks in there.
Is this something we could achieve with a corporate alliance? I know a lot of tech companies would like to give their employees secure laptops. I also know that there are large costs associated with making hardware, especially if you are talking about dropping ME.

A dozen companies with 1000 employees each and a budget of $2,500 per employee gets you $30 million, which is surely enough to get a decent, qubes-secure laptop with no ME. You aren't going to be designing your own chips at that point, but you could grab power8 or sparc or arm.

Are there companies that would reasonably be willing to throw in a few million to fund a secure laptop? I imagine at least a few. And maybe we could get a Google or someone to put in $10m plus.
It contradicts my decades-long experience and I would have loved to know whether I have just been lucky. Is there a bug report somewhere? Or just some blog about some more data?
It's sexist as it gives people an advantage based on their sex. This is unfair for:

* women who are in pain more than one day a month because of their periods

* men who have prostate troubles or other illnesses exclusive to men

And it gives an unfair advantage to:

* women who aren't in pain during their periods

* women who have their period less than once a months (for example because of the Pill)

The criterion to get the day off shouldn't be "are you women?" but "are you in pain?". They probably chose the former because they think it correlates that much.
Nobody is going to take advantage of this because "Oh btw, I'm on the rag so I won't be in today" isn't exactly the message you want to broadcast to your coworkers.

Then there will be the people who take advantage of this on Mondays and Fridays leading into long weekends.

Then everyone will hate the policy.

Then they'll extend the extra 12-days to everyone because you can't take back something like this when you market it this way.

Then nothing will get done on Mondays and Fridays leading into long weekends.
I studied both English and CS in a hybrid program in college. One of the things that appealed to me about writing great code is that it did parallel good writing. The process of writing, especially a paper or a longer thesis relies on logic. There have to be clear bridges, or segues between sometimes disparate thoughts, connecting them.

I find when I am writing code, I try to use the same principles. I don't want anyone to look at two isolated pieces of code and think "what the hell, these don't even belong in the same universe, let alone the in same repo." Whether through comments or just good self-documenting code, I want things to connect in some way.

Jeremy Ashkenas made the connection in a piece of his writing about coffeescript as well. Kind of an ah-ha moment for me.
Looks like it's Ethereum and Ripple which are falling, no? Bitcoin is pretty stable, Litecoin has been climbing, didn't check the others.
I'm not saying this isn't a reason to try your proposal, but you may not be aware that for a significant minority of women, period symptoms can be severe enough to make work difficult or impossible, even from home.

Severe headaches. Cramps so severe you can't think or sit upright unless on enough painkillers to make your brain nothing but fuzz. (Even OTC painkillers like naproxen that are commonly taken for cramps can affect concentration, not to mention having extremely unpleasant effects on digestion.)

Yes, when you're changing tampons every hour, it's less anxiety-inducing to be in the comfort of your own home. But most of the reasons women tend to take sick days during menstruation aren't solved by working remotely.

I am a moderator on a major subreddit of serious nature. It's pretty boring. Here are the typical culprits.

Probably the most common who have something to say to the mod team are those who blame us for pushing an agenda. We welcome and encourage debate. We want people to call bullshit on something bunk, but we stand by that it has to be something that can be substantiated. We just want you to provide some kind of proof, source, etc. other than, "This totally happened to my sister's boyfriend's cousin!"

Some people take those removals very personally, because the comment is about something heavy that has greatly impacted that person's life. They feel like we are snubbing them when they took the time to reveal something personal. A non-real example would be a study that shows that cancer survival rate increases when you drink at least 60 oz of water daily. Someone will inevitably reply with, "My mom died from cancer, and all she dra nk was water with the occasional cup of tea." I mean, we're sorry for your loss, but your single anecdotal point doesn't really refute the claim. The comment gets removed, and then we're called monsters. If you really think it's bullshit, find another study that claims otherwise or poke holes in the study itself.

Another common one reason is low effort comments or comments that don't add to the discussion. "Jeez, why is this a comment graveyard?" is a pretty common removal. There usually aren't hissy fits, but this, jokes, puns, lyric chains, comments like, "Yeah and water is wet," are also common. Two other low effort comments are, "Someone give me TL;DR please," or, "I want to believe this, but some comment is going to blow this claim out of the water."

The reality is that most removals are boring.

To be fair, static blog generators have been around for years, and their use is hardly a fad, considering the number of blogs that people host on github etc.

It hasn't caught on as much among non-tech types, but it's certainly not a fad, and the solutions are mature, usable and open source. I can understand wanting various features that only a dynamic blog offers (like commenting without Javascript), and I run such a blog myself.

My setup is actually very simple. Actually I have several setups in multiple locations. I use Mikrotik[1] APs managed by Mikrotik controller (so centralized management for all APs). Look for the ones that support dual-concurrent tripple-chain 802.11ac like hAP ac or wAP ac. I use 5GHz everywhere although I do have 2.4GHz also. There is no interference on the 5GHz band as it doesn't penetrate walls (YMMV). I use a lot of APs, usually one AP per room if I want 5GHz coverage in that room.

The power used is very low. More power just means more interference. The bottleneck is the transmit power on the client, which is very low. More power on the AP just make everything louder. I've set up power level based on this document: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203068. Unfortunately only Apple documents this stuff, but works pretty well for everything AFAICT.

I don't have any special antennas. If you need to cover a large space with a single AP you might need one, but the best philosophy on 5GHz is to have many smaller APs.

All my APs are connected through ethernet (actually everything is PoE powered). I don't use any mesh stuff (although Mikrotik can be used in that configuration, I don't recommend it). All my APs are simple bridges, I don't use the Mikrotik tunnel stuff.

I don't use 802.11r because Mikrotik can't do it yet. I am not sure if anyone except Cisco can do it. I wish I had 802.11r, this is my Achilles' heel.

Everything works very well, but you get what you pay for. Mikrotik is really cheap compared to the real stuff out there, which means much less polish, more bugs, and no real documentation. If I were to do it again I might chose Unifi[2] instead. Don't get me wrong, this all works very well, but the level of polish is what you'd expect out of a GitHub project compared to some real commercial product. For example while you can set antenna gain in standalone AP mode, you can't do it in managed AP mode. Minor stuff like that.

I also run a RADIUS server and I create user accounts for all my wireless users (WPA2 Enterprise). At different locations users have the same credentials.

I use all kinds of clients (Linux/BSD/macOS), but the ones where I'm most interested in speed are the Macbooks.
