Whoosh. Nobody is arguing that they don't have the frames that they have. As we can plainly see, they have plenty of frames from which to make a video that runs in closer to real time.

All they need to do is adjust the frame playback rate to make the video last longer. Yes it will have little jerky movements but it would give time for the viewer to enjoy and ponder what they are seeing.
Software isn't high-risk for women though. Diversity thirsty companies are desperate to hire technical women with even a shred of competency. It's just not a cool thing to do though, women don't want to be geeks. There is much more stigma against non-normie women than there is men. Nay for men, there is a heavy stigma against being normal and boring.
The difference between STEM and non-STEM jobs is that as a worker, not a manager, you can't fake it for as long. Eventually people will notice that you're not keeping up with tech trends, learning, learning new things, or that your overall productivity is sub par (or in a lot of cases zero or even negative).

I see that as a plus for STEM jobs and more generally their sectors as it naturally rewards meritocracy and progress.

If you think you can't keep up with new grads, despite years more experience, I'm going to venture a guess that you don't find technology interesting enough to learn on its own.
The playback speed can also be adjusted by changing the frame rate of playback. Each frame just stays on the screen for a longer time. Similar to the -delay <n> parameter when creating a GIF in ImageMagick.
The project to port iOS apps to WP was called Project Islandwood. Unfortunately, no iOS developers wanted to waste their time porting their apps to a platform that had no users. So it was a bridge to nowhere.
Men often do those stupid high paying things simply due to societal pressure. Barring being physically beautiful (which most men just aren't), for a male to be attractive as a mate it helps tremendously to not be poor. I don't see that changing in my lifetime no matter how much people gnash their teeth. There's the political stance, and then there are down to earth, real life considerations such as having a comfortable lifestyle for yourself an your children. Currently, and as far as the eye can see into the future, men are responsible for providing that, and they largely don't have a choice in the matter.

The opposite was true for my cohort. There seems to always be at least one or two of the top students that are dead set on making as much money as possible so they take the extra time to brush up skills and projects to land interviews with and be successful at the absolute top tier companies (Google/Facebook + Unicorns).

a/A also really pushes the idea that students should leverage offers against each other. I suspect that combined with the success of Haseeb's article is that top students are now more likely to push very hard to get top dollar for their worth instead of taking ~10k less and getting to work sooner.
That requires typing the full name of the thing.
In mathematics we call each of them "invariance", if we do not want to sound too pedantic (or unless the distinction cannot be deduced easily from context)

I feel that the examples in math are easier to understand that in programming. For example:

- The integral of a function is invariant to additive changes of variable : \int f(a+x)dx = \int f(x)dx

- The mean of a distribution is contravariant to additive changes of variable : \int f(a+x)xdx = -a + \int f(x)xdx

- The mean of a distribution is covariant to shifts of the domain (same formula, because f(x-a) is a shift of size "a")

- The variance of a distribution is invariant to additive changes of variable

etc.
I read it. I am not disagreeing with it, it supports my position.

For those who want to read more about CFR, I'd start with some of Michael Johanson's papers. I think his thesis was specifically on CFR and poker, but a reasonable amount of searching on the UAlberta site will probably find you the right papers.

> Straight up, I want you to explain the complete before and beneath of your favorite tech stack or this is problematically hypocritical.

I can answer this one. I could explain to you every aspect of go's net/http package and database/sql package. The interface is compact, and even the source is very legible and easy to digest. You don't need all the extra bullshit to build API and run CRUD operations. I am a former RoR developer. I have lost no speed in just using simple tools and simple packages.

Also, I can have a junior or associate developer from any background get up to speed in a matter of days. Where as when I was at the Rails shop, you specifically had to hire a "rails guy/gal" and even then still took them days to get started.

(Don't mean for this to be a "go is great" rant, I am sure there are equally simple tools out there - Dropwizard is another one that comes to mind -- just a bunch of jars glued together)
The article pointed out that men are typically more interested in working with things than women, and women are typically more interested in working with people than men, and that this is highly correlative and can explain many of the differences we see in STEM, because most STEM fields have a lot of "things" going on.

The article even generously suggests that many women are adept in BOTH math and verbal, but end up in more verbal jobs because men are typically NOT adept in both, so all the high-math low-verbal guys end up doing mathy jobs, and all the high-math high-verbal women do verbal/people jobs, because the mathy jobs are all the guys can do, while the women can do either (but take the non-mathy jobs due to market effects).

Software is kinda mathy, I guess.

One (misguided) counter argument I've heard from otherwise fantastic devs it's the notion of adding randomness to unit tests in the hopes that if there's a bug, at least some builds will fail. In practice, I've seen those builds and developers saying "yeah, sometimes you need to build it twice".

I think the solution is to give those devs who favor such techniques a separate but easy to use fuzzing tool set that they can run just like their unit tests, separate from their usual 'build' command. Give them their ability to discover new bugs, but make it separate from the real build.
Hyperdex is no longer maintained [1]. While the technology is impressive, the author seems to have lost interest, and is now working on something called Consus [2].

Hyperdex's problem all along was that the author — a very talented developer from what I can tell — seems more invested in his projects from the perspective academic research (he's at Cornell) than in delivering a practical, living open source project. He tried to form a company around Hyperdex (the transactional "Warp" add-on thing was commercial) even though nobody seemed to be using it; and he was the sole developer. Unfortunately, as interesting as Consus is, history seems to be repeating itself there.

But yeah, Hyperdex seemed to have real potential at one point. It was the only NoSQL K/V store (at the time) that had transactions.

Short answer, MIT discovered unobtanium and now fusion looks pretty good.

Longer answer, the crucial part in a fusion reactor is the magnetic confinement and with the field strength conventional superconductors can manage you need a large reactor. In the last 20 years two things happened, first high temperature super conduction was discovered and someone figured out how to build a compound material from them and stainless steel. The high temperature super conductors solve the problem that there is a critical magnetic field strength and the stainless steel solves the problem that the material has ugly mechanical properties. With that you can use much higher field strength in your fusion reactor and that means much smaller reactor and that means much cheaper experiments. (In another talk the speaker claimed the scale of the experiments drops from large experiment for the entire international community to large experiment for MIT.)

Last time I looked at that project, it looked that the MIT fusion group is competitive with ITER, and it should be mentioned that even if the path forward is high temperature super conductors, then ITER was still the right bet 15 years ago. The thing is 15 years ago you could not bet on everything magically working out and the entire ITER concept is guaranteed to work. The international community did decide that fusion is interesting enough even if the safe path forward is really really expensive.
How is South Korea a good example? They have a sizeable military (huge for their population), and have a high gdp.

One aspect is the quantity vs quality issue.

If the farming industry finds a way to make e.g. twice as much food (or electronics industry twice as many smartphones) with the same land/people/resources, then we see it as a productivity growth - either you double the consumption (more GDP) or you do it with half the people/resources, and whatever else these people/resources produce will increase GDP.

However, if the farming industry finds a way to make the same food twice as tasty (or the smartphones twice better) with the same amount of labor and resources, then that won't necessarily increase the prices (everyone's product gets the new feature, supply is the same, and demand is mostly the same if other industries advance as well) - so there's no observable growth; the economy produces the same number of widgets, trade happens for the same total amount of dollars, even though people's needs/wants are satisfied better.

You are making it sound like it wouldnt be too bad if our constitution was "remade"

Lets be clear, the Kochs should be legislated against, not the Constitution of the greatest country in western civilization that was ever created. Period.
Sure, unconstitutional military actions like Iran-Contra would be easier. But the key point is that suitably educated and skilled individuals can also do such stuff. Without nation-scale (or even corporate-scale) resources. That's what I meant about democratization of freedom.
Many years ago, I happened upon this analysis of why things are the way they are, and it rang true:

More qualified women (and people with "ethnic names" and other discriminators) often get passed over for jobs or promotions by people who are less qualified, but have a preferred social stereotype. So the idea that qualification or merit is going to result in commensurate representation across the board doesn't work.

People who self-identify as Asian may be the best qualified for the position, but it doesn't hurt that it also reinforces their social stereotype. Asians are actually significantly over-represented in STEM, and make more money than any other group.
It is, of course, a political issue. The Federal government has little power inside the country (e.g. see how several states have open trade in drugs, which the USFG proclaimed illegal) and states, who hold most of the interior power, are very incentivised to have illegals since most of welfare comes from the Fed while the state's own power is determined chiefly by its population number so a state has a lot of upside and almost no downside by growing its population through illegal immigration.

I'd imagine, in a hypothetical timeline where the 14th amendment could be repelled, the political balance is very different from the current one and the laws enabling the current situation could be changed just as well. However in the real world even the 14th repeal is highly unlikely.
Isn't the point of technical interviews to determine one's knowledge of useless trivia? That is to say, that is what is typically measured, and it's seemingly the rare workplace that even attempts to measure whether their hiring processes correlate with work performance. Hiring for developer positions is a cargo cult practice -- which is not necessarily a blanket condemnation, but as a non-traditional candidate it's certainly done me no favors. Generally, this is a hard problem with no simple solution: evaluating programmers requires almost as much domain knowledge as programming does.

I'm pretty sure that you're not entirely wrong about what you say re: nerd signaling. However, while I share your frustration about the current state of the programming interview, I personally don't see much point in trying to buck the trend. If you really can't see your way to learning the trivia, then probably it's best to focus on your other strengths and show them what you do know. If they really only value the appearance of wisdom then you probably don't want to be working there anyway.
Yes, but at the same time you'd expect each library to be used by many applications. Say you have 100 libraries, you can make 10,000 applications just by picking 1 or 2 of those 100 libraries, applications should far outnumber libraries.

Maybe applications do far outnumber libraries, but it's a fact of how people use github that everyone whose application depends on a library stars the library; as every application uses many libraries, there are many library-stars. This is a total guess, but it aligns with how I think of using stars. (though stars are separate from notifications as github documentation takes care to point out)
The end of the sentence clarifies, "because people tend to spend more money there." I'm assuming he means compared to Android.

As someone who marketed and supported an app for a few years, I've never seen a cheaper, more demanding, more entitled group than Android app users. One even claimed that adding a feature to iOS but not Anrdoid was a clear case of discrimination.

2017 Review: 50 Smartest Companies
They aren't qualified because they're Asian.

Most importantly, you're the victim of selection bias: Only the most-qualified among about 4.4 billion people in Asia end up working IT in the US where you can observe them.

Why do they work mostly in STEM/IT? Because their home countries emphasise certain skills in school, because it's much easier to work in IT when you're from a foreign country than law, journalism, or business. And because these things often create feedback loops, because some people return and start teaching, or their stories become examples for others to follow.

Those RFCs seem to have nothing to do with my suggestion.

In Wikipedia's usual frustrating manner, it's unclear to me what was even going on to trigger those RFCs or why people thought it was a problem. For some reason they were upset with links to archive.is. But why? Was archive.is replacing working links with archive links, or something?

Edit: From what I can tell, the archive.is bot was doing the same thing the archive.org bot Animats mentioned was doing. It's just archive.is didn't follow Wikipedia's policies and procedures.

The models climate science have created have had very little success in forecasting the climate. Healthy skepticism would doubt the analysis.

Brexit happened after a long period of political stability in a country with a long, mature history at the forefront of international politics. Communism in China came to the fore during the tumult of the second world war, which had foreign troops razing half of China - after a period where China was colonised by a different foreign power which kept the powers in China as ignorant as possible. They're very different things.

I never understood why certain female dominated fields like Nursing are excluded from STEM. My mom was a nurse, my sister in law is a NP and my wife is studying to be an RN.

This implementation NEVER moves the nth item as that is past the end of the array.

i = Math.random() * n-- | 0;

generates a value less than n.

And

t = array[n];
array[n] = array[i];
array[i] = t;

is using a decremented n.

You are being confused by the `n--` in the random selection.

There's a React interface to blessed! https://github.com/Yomguithereal/react-blessed
A decade ago many of us thought that open source applications like LibreOffice and Thunderbird would dominate. Instead, open source seems to be winning everywhere in infrastructure and libraries, as companies don't want to lock into proprietary middleware anymore like Weblogic or VMware. But many (most?) applications are now web-based and closed source (e.g., Google Docs, Salesforce, Gmail, etc.).

One critique: GitHub stars are not the best indication of interest and can be gamed. Instead, I prefer using commits, issues and unique authors as a better metric of project velocity: https://www.cncf.io/blog/2017/06/05/30-highest-velocity-open...
Overall this is presenting a smaller university-class tokamak with advanced superconductors to try to reach Q>2 (scientific breakeven). One of the big advantages of higher fields is that the fusion power goes like B^4. I think this is an interesting idea, but it's hard to imagine the US funding something like this at the same time as ITER. Last year's talk [1] suggests "alternative funding," pointing to other private fusion research, which I am dubious of. There is a mindset that "if these bad ideas get funded, our good idea should get funded more," which we know is not how funding works.

As a former researcher of alternative magnetic confinement schemes, I'm disappointed the latest research in FRCs and mirrors didn't make it into this talk. Viewers should take into account that this, like most talks, is pushing an agenda, in this case a new device called SPARC. It appears to also be a way of using the incredibly talented tokamak researchers at MIT now that Alcator C-Mod is not operating.

if this was the case, every NBA player would have a 48" vertical jump. Every 100m sprinter would be running sub 9.8 seconds.

Speed and power is entirely genetic. you're either fast or not. you can either jump high or you can't. you can improve it but only by slim margins.

Strength however, can be trained and improved greatly and well into middle age, which is why barbell training is so popular.
Very interesting article, and sort of depressing for me, specifically the conclusion of Wang et. al[0]. That if you're good at both math and communication, you choose a more social field over the mathematical one is almost a condemnation of the mathier fields.

Then again, being good at math in high school as Wang et. al measures doesn't really translate to math in college, which is much more problem solving oriented than math in high school. That's something to keep in mind here, so the whole idea that they end up being spread more broadly and thus aren't concentrated in STEM as the socially dumb men are is a more convincing explanation, it really doesn't have to do with differences in ability, it's merely other factors, mainly which major they try first.

How interesting.

> Surely girls and women have, historically, been discriminated against in such fields. But discrimination in 1950 or 1970 does not constitute evidence of ongoing discrimination.

That quote is straight from the article. I think the author is arguing that everyone should be given a chance to develop their interests and abilities, rather than forcing anyone's interest to match a preconceived notion of the desired population outcome.
