I'd normally also have to select packages for sending emails, running background jobs, internationalization, templates, validation, file uploads and caching at a bare minimum. Then I'd have to make sure they all work well together, setup testing and probably have to write additional functionality that Rails or Django already covers.

Frameworks like Rails and Django cover a ton of functionality and gluing together and maintaining a set of packages to cover even a fraction of that functionality is a ton of work that's often for very little gain.
Ask HN: How much better is Portrait Mode in iOS 11 (beta)?
One of the main reasons I got an iPhone 7 Plus was to be able to use Portrait Mode. In iOS 11, this feature gets support for HDR and Optical Image Stabilization. It's also supposed to be much better in low light (and in my experience, "low light" in PM means anything other than full sun).

I'm going on a trip in a couple weeks and would love to be able to use these new features, but I haven't been able to find any feedback about how noticeable these improvements are. My understanding is that the beta is fairly stable at this point, so it wouldn't be crazy to run it on vacation.
As your comment wrestles with, you can't know what it's like, because you don't live under a systemic power imbalance.

The fact that words aren't going to hurt you as much because they aren't coming from an environment of actual systemic discrimination doesn't mean that the people who are hurt by words under discrimination are wrong or irrational.

It just means it's a thing you don't get to experience first-hand and should attempt to have empathy for nonetheless.
How much you keep in your bank savings account has very low correlation with savings/net worth. Extremely low net worth people generally keep liquid assets in cash because then they don't need to pay crazy fees to banks. High net who do use savings accounts generally keep very little of their liquid assets in one.
Agreed.. is that like saying that researchers should do a "pay what you want for my paper" online and self publish/host the knowledge? Maybe somebody just needs to provide a standard "pay what you want" feature that academics can embed easily into their own site, and then self-publish / host.
True, there are many research projects of Microsoft which ended up in production. Take the Linux Subsystem for Windows (Bash) for instance, or a little closer to home: Code contracts.
What do you mean? I don't see anything on their site about being able to self-host it.
Annoyingly, Twitter doesn't let you view that list without logging in. It's possible to browse tweets by individuals without logging in, or even many individuals given a collection of names, but viewing the list? Not in my garden, pal.
The tech industry shouldn't aim for perfection. It should aim for the average level of negative experiences across all industries, meaning it should have as many of these cases as other industries. It is not really a travesty or an indication of a problem in the tech industry if a few of these cases pop up from time to time.

What is clear is that these cases are publicized to a disproportionate degree when they occur in the tech industry compared to other industries.

I think there's a difference between saying WTF (in Slack, or wherever) and replying "We don't give a fuck" in response to an article about sexism in the work place.

At my company WTF is acceptable language but saying you don't care about a coworker's valid concern is not.

ipfs overhad is still way to big. also 26TB not 25gb.
I want to ask this question as gently as possible: Is it acceptable or common in French culture/companies to use a phrase such as "Move over I need a place for my big dick"? It sounds so aggressive and hare-brained that I can't really imagine anyone in the US saying that without begging for a sexual harassment case targeted towards them.

To be 100% clear: I'm not justifying this behavior at all. My point is that when having a beer with friends, its common to joke around like that. I'm just wondering if in French culture, when going out for drinks, if its common or socially acceptable to make these jokes. From the lady's viewpoint, it seems like its not.
Hell, he could put it in a municipal/tax-exempt bond fund and at the very least not pay federal taxes. If he lives in a state that has a state-specific bond fund, he could let it grow tax-free. 3-4% on one of those is not unreasonable. (But he'd probably want to diversify a bit...)
One account pulled that same move several times on medium and the conclusion is "this nastiness is pervasive" [in tech] rather than "that poster is an asshole"?

I seriously doubt the person behind that account denies what they are doing.
I think a more nuanced approach, eg the Zack Lystedt law is appropriate until we under stand the science better.

The key part of that law is that athletes must be taken out if they are suspected of a concussion, and they can't play until they are cleared by a qualified professional. Unless and until we find scientific evidence that it is the absolute number of concussions in someone's lifetime, and not back to back concussions without recovery, that cause CTE this seems appropriate.
Open a bank in Cyprus, and that's it. Many people suspect that majority of Russian banks in Cyprus do not have a single real board member.

Believe me or not, in some countries it is possible to setup a bank without having a single in-person visit by an official.
Every time I see a story like this, I am honestly wondering where all these people are working, as I have never encountered anyone near these levels of sexism in many years of working in the tech industry (albeit in Sweden).

What rubs me the wrong way though is when people project experiences like these onto their own experiences of lesser magnitude.

For example, a while back a colleague asked me for a sit-down and explained that she was frustrated that i had "mansplained" her in a meeting. She was fuming. At worst, I might have interrupted her at one point or two inadvertently because there was a heated discussion on a technical topic. I don't want to rob her of these feelings but I feel like overall we're talking about some actual sexist idiots and then have a much larger layer of people who are just looking to be mad about something.

...if universities didn't have to pay for journal subscriptions. That funding could go towards hiring more professors...

And more lawyers! If the journals did sue the universities it would be a one time legal cost to defeat them (thereby driving them out of business) versus the ongoing and growing cost of journal subscriptions.
Google is quietly buying properties
How is that efficient? What a waste of public funds.

That's exactly my point. Getting states to invest in free operating systems is not hard. But your proposal is only useful if it includes some way to get them to work together.
Thanks for the feedback! This is the first time that we hear about this concern, but we will look into it. Serving these kinds of resources (fonts, icons) ourselves has a disadvantage in terms of caching, so we'll have to decide if it's worth the trade-off.
The video "We don't give a fuck" was shared as a response to the author sharing a link to "an article on why so many women leave engineering".
I'm very interested by this. What is it about Chinese culture that is oppressive to people with high IQs?
I'm a guy, and I would quit if that's the kind of behavior I could expect out of my colleagues on a regular basis.

I've worked in the industry for a long time, and I have never seen anything like that.

It seems like a very bad move to alienate 50% of the potential workforce.
Um, what?

Doesn't the average NFL player have a life expectancy of 53-59, and you can only collect the pension after 55? They can move it foward starting at age 35.

Cynical me says it's a political nothing burger.
it's pretty hard to write even a simple smart contract that doesn't have horrible vulnerabilities. far harder, I would say, than writing C code that can't be buffer-overflowed on an old system with no protections in place. and solidity the language does NOT make this any easier. read all the resources you can. there are really counterintuitive best practices.

the reason for all these hacks is not stupidity or laziness of the developers. the EVM execution model just makes it very easy to write vulnerable code.

Agreed. I too have always been a fan of the sub-genre.

Except.... I might've been excited for the Blade Runner sequel if I hadn't known Harrison Ford was in it. Had I been blind to that, could go in without knowing, maybe it would be ok.

To me, Blade Runner really improved upon its source material, and the unanswered and heavily hinted at question of "what is Deckard" is one of those improvements. That question made the story MORE like a PKD "question reality" story, and I love it for that reason.

Now that question is apparently answered, or perhaps shown to have never been a real question to begin with. I'll see the movie, because it still looks interesting, but I might just choose to box it into its own space, separate from the movie that spawned it.

Some things shouldn't have sequels.
I think the parent comment is referring to the open source code which you can self-host for free. You just need to pay for the metal/cloud that runs it.

I'd be against for two reasons

1) life isn't about being smart, far from that (that's national emergent feedback, and I often despise nations as a concept)

2) being smart isn't even needed, a culture of sharing and listening would be enough to uplift life by many points. A culture of recognizing ego and letting him shut down then appreciate everything as a whole. Most brains can do this, if people can pass this down.

I regularly remember how everything was beautiful before, even with flaws and limits.. a race for optimization, especially driven by national interest isn't something I'd like to see.

ps: I'd even say, "intelligence" is an emergency mode for our brains, and cultivating it was a normal response, but it's not supposed to be our main mode
I guess it got close to electrifying its power cord so you can't unplug it..
I don't get it. If the ZFS module was built without GPL components, it being referenced as a compiled binary is still permitted by the GPL, right?

Step 1: immediately introduce straw men to knock down.

Step 2: blame the victim of sexual harassment for being there and not finding a way to not be harassed.

Step 3: Right after telling them to stand up for themselves, immediately shame them for talking about the experience. It might give them resources to actually follow the advice you patronizingly tossed out in step 2.

This playbook is old. It's unacceptable. It's a way to try and shield men from the consequences illegal, unproessional, and immoral actions. It's an attempt to undermine anyone who notices.

You're doing something awful. Stop it.
This is an easy step that soccer has taken to reduce the occurrences of brain injuries. Anyone who is confused on this issue should note that any jostling of the brain can cause minor, short-term brain damage. It's bad enough to bounce a relatively soft soccer ball off your head to warrant removing the practice from the sport, especially for younger players.

Other sports, like football, present a much harder challenge. Even if you remove direct head contact as a variable, most aspects of tackling can result in concussions. The reason football is uniquely controversial is that minor concussions are mostly inevitable and severe concussions are commonplace.

By contrast, the most likely way to get a concussion in soccer is to head the ball, which isn't fundamental to gameplay. In any sport, you might run into another player at high speed but that's not typically a core part of the gameplay. Football is controversial because it's hard to fix.
Or, y'know, don't.
While true, this is not relevant. The simple fact is left to right evaluation and whether a StringBuilder is used, concatenation, constant computation or creating a Char array and joining the characters is not relevant.
yeah, people do this all the time, to a greater or lesser extent! referencing past or future agreements, agreements between other parties, the prime interest rate published in the WSJ, etc.

the difference is, if someone does something really abusive with one of these clauses, a judge will throw it out.

Congrats on your launch. As a potential blind user, I've some questions. How can I reach you? Your email doesn't seem to be listed in your profile.
From a straight-man point of view (me) it is also not acceptable.
Tend to agree. There might even be an argument that SciHub provides something of a pressure release valve that will allow paywalls to continue. Similar to how pirated Windows copies can be said to have helped solidify Windows' market share. Or even, in my own mind, how pirated Adobe applications helped people learn the tools and go on to work at companies with legitimate licenses.

Elsevier, et al, can now make a legitimate claim that they are not restricting access to those who cannot afford a sub. But their tax on academia will continue.
I would expect attractiveness to take a dive.
I do peer review myself and am familiar with the model. IMO, when I'm contacted to review someone's work, the journal employee contacting me is performing a legitimate service. They did research to find my name and email and determine that I'm competent to assess the paper. They or another editor have also reviewed the paper in the first place to determine if it's worthy of being peer-reviewed at all, which requires some domain-specific knowledge. And if I pass on peer reviewing, they have to find another person to ask, and so on. Multiplied by dozens of papers, that can be a substantial amount of work.

I also think that you underestimate the importance of copy-editors. It's not the job of a peer reviewer to make sure that the author uses an apostrophe properly, etc. There needs to be a specialist who is dedicated to catching those errors, particularly since, as you note, peer-reviewers aren't directly compensated so it's unfair to burden them with a whole other set of responsibilities.
> Ok, explain me how gender neutral "We don't give a fuck" is sexist

Clémentine shared an article on her team Slack about "I found an article on why so many women leave engineering, and wanted to share it with my colleagues."

One of her colleagues replied on the channel with a video saying "We don't give a fuck"

The combination of those two things is sexist by any possible interpretation I can think of.
And even then all Canonical needs to do is include a utility to allow you to pull down the ZFS binaries. They did something similar for the old AMD Radeon drivers years ago.

Sorry for the existential question - but how do you guys not get disenchanted in this space by the idea that if you actually manage to meaningfully differentiate that you're surrounded by nimble giants that can easily mimic your success and crush you?

There's a long tail with these subscriptions.

So no one will drop their top-10 subscription, while expensive tail journals are probably doomed (tail journals are either very cheap and run by schools, or VERY expensive and managed by Elsevier).
Kind of a different use case, but I work on a web-based IRC client (self-hosted IRC cloud) and if Apple support service workers we could have improved offline support, push notifications (for mentions, disconnects, etc), on-device caching of embeds (links and images are embedded in-line), an improved loading screen, and more.
He will have to live off savings and deal with the incredibly limited options a PhD in an in demand field (from a top school) leave him with.

Poor guy.
I doubt they would have a claim to make unless the university officially endorsed SciHub. Otherwise, how would the institution be expected to know that researchers didn't buy access themselves?
With the stakes that high for the players you don't think the players will engage in dangerous behavior? It could be just as likely that we will see more skull fractures.

The rules need to be constantly adjusted to disincentivise dangerous behavior. If it hurts your team to injure others, injuries should happen less.
No, inputs to each layer are concatenated before being passed through H.
Like you say, it's not exclusive to this industry and I think it's a problem that, the way we're often presenting it, we make it sound like these problems are only in STEM. We don't consider whether anything is a US-centric issue, or a SV-centric issue, France-centric issue, or whether it's simply humans being shitty.

Focusing on "fixing sexism in the industry" is hopeless if the problem isn't specific to the industry, I think.

Stackoverflow,

edit: i was once hired thru stackoverflow, for writing here http://www.baeldung.com/. They had a screening process, made me write one article to test and then finally onboard.
I'm Israeli, and i've noticed the same phenomena(complaining) is popular among people of Soviet heritage.

Why is that ?
I tried reading the Ginsburg translation and didn't get very far. Found it to be wooden and stilted. Recently I started reading the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation and I'm having a much better time of it. It has footnotes that explain some of the references, and I'm just finding it much easier to read from a prose-style standpoint.
[FLAGGED] This very misguided article seems to be a complete misunderstanding of two papers: https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.05125 and https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.04558

None of the dramatic claims have any basis in real science, or real world events (e.g.: "it prompted concerns we could lose control of AI"? I'm 100% certain this came from the author's imagination).

This kind of AI apocalyptic alarmism with no real basis is the same kind that created the first AI winter, and the complete misinterpretation of research in popular culture.

Unless there's a very deep layer of irony I'm not seeing, this article is not worth your click.
I'm not sure it's just publicity though. It seems like having such a high male ratio can create these kinds of environment. You're right that perfection is probably impossible but I think 0 tolerance is still a good target.
How is the U.S. any better? (Assuming you're American, correct me if I'm wrong)

They can though. wanna buy a car for 150k, sell off some shares, buy a car. right?

Honestly, though, even the interest on whatever liquid assets they do have probably yields more than my current savings total.
The AR thirst is real
You put a decimal point in the wrong place. 7% of 1.8M is 126K, not 12.6K. Really it would be more like 77K from 1.1M once you factor in taxes, but for most people that's more than enough to live on without ever touching the principal.

I guess another important part is that it's the universities' connection that scihub 'uploaders' tunnel through that are key - they have the special network access to DOI resources that make it free for on-site university users to get anything for free, and then the 'uploaders' relay them to outsiders. That's a difference between papers and something like 'scihub for any pdf ebook via ISBN' - there's no special network that can get all ebooks for free just via ISBN - except maybe the Library of Congress ;)

I like it, "development tough love", ha. I think looking back it becomes clearer in hindsight that it really did consume a lot of community energy. I'm vaguely sensing maybe some kind of community development bystander effect where fixing and upgrading is someone else's problem has kept the divide around longer than it needed to be.
I happens to me very consistently when I compile with -march=znver1.
The possibility of concussions is present in [nearly?] every sport. Typically, head injuries are not a core part of gameplay. In the case of soccer, there have been concerted efforts to remove "heading" from practice and from games. Football is being targeted because minor/severe concussions are commonplace and result from a core aspect of the game.
Not trying to argue, but just curious: was boxing as big as football is now in the US? I'm not much into sports in general, and I wasn't around when boxing was big (or just completely missed it), so I'm lacking context.
@benbreen even if some papers vet peer reviewers, I've heard many just use suggestions for reviewers provided by the author...
I had quite a bit of exposure to pirate journal archives before sci-hub arrived. A couple of easy improvements that I saw with past pirate libraries, that it'd be nice to have on sci-hub:

- Strip download watermarks ("Downloaded by Wisconsin State University xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on January 12, 2017 13:45:12"). Many times, journals published by the same publisher do the watermarking similarly so you need write just one pdftk (or other PDF manipulation software) script for every journal under their banner. At worst, it's a one-script-per journal effort.

- PDF optimization. A lot of publishers produce un-optimized PDFs that could be 25% (or more) smaller with a completely lossless space optimization pass. This should save storage/network costs for access to individual papers and, more importantly, reduce the burden for bulk mirrors.

(I'd contribute the scripted passes myself if I had contacts within sci-hub.)
Sexism isn't specific to any one single place. You try to fix the issues that you can impact, in this case the industry we're in.
