I'm reading this and I just can't help but laugh. Let's say a company decides to do a "stay working here interview" and then the developer points out the things they would like to work on and the ideas they want to develop - things that they are interested in and excited. These ideas and work projects are going to be prevented because the organizational flaws are inherent in the company and pretty much unsolvable... if the company wasn't structurally awful they would have found a way to make the projects happen.
There is a similarity with React (and Vue, etc...) in that it's based on the idea of components. But the similarity ends there (and the project is not based on React). The core capability is to interact with your page directly as you build it, something that is not within React's scope.
Is it not possible that men are more competitive and seek leadership positions because most leadership positions are already held by men? Looking upwards and seeing people like yourself would be encouraging — it says "You can do this!" Modern society has built an image of men becoming successful, and so in a self-fulfilling prophecy the society's leadership positions are dominated by men who were told they would end up there.

I don't think there is a natural (i.e. biological) imperative that drives men and women significantly differently in this regard. It seems to me to be primarily caused by societal expectations which are enforced starting from a young age.
They were able to buy BAMTech outright, and BAMTech has better live event streaming. I don't think this is an investment play for Disney. I think it's about what gives them the best streaming platform that's completely under their control.

> Didn't they just recently (past year) sign this deal?

Netflix's deal with Disney dates all the way back to 2012, although it only ramped up last year with current theatrical releases. Given they're still providing films to Netflix until 2019 I think they probably had a standard break clause.

More interesting to me is how this impacts the Marvel deals Netflix has. They're covered by separate deals, but will Disney be looking to slowly consolidate all their Marvel TV content under their own streaming platform?

I'm guessing a lot of cruft built up on atom as it was iteratively built on top of developing front-end frameworks and transpilers over the years, compared to vscode which came on the scene much later when a lot of this had already settled. My guess it's just an older project with many times more contributions that accumulated legacy cruft that takes time to fully expunge.

I'm also not convinced the feature set is identical. Atom comes with a lot of language support, customization options, and extensibility out of the box.

Like alcohol or gambling, it's probably inherent in the product for some people with genetic predispositions to certain types of addictive behavior. My hypothesis is that the level of "dopamine-kick" is at least partially a function of genes and probably partially a function of nurture. For example there are some people who cannot drink socially, encouraging them to have one drink "to relax with the rest of us" may cause them harm. To the extent that you are designing your application to consume more and more of the user's attention (note that the customer is the advertiser, the addicted user is the product), to make it more and more addictive, you may be ruining some people's lives.
Yes, and in case there's confusion around Core vs. Standard. Standard can be thought of a spec, and supporting a version of .NET Standard implies support in a specific set of versions of .NET Core.

> So 30% of judges being women is what, the natural state of things?

What you mean by "natural state of things"? In nature, there are no judges at all :) I'm not sure what you understand by "natural" here.

> This is the highest heights that women can reach?

I don't see any reason why any specific figure would be "highest heights that women can reach" (excepting obvious cases of 100% :). Statistics doesn't work that way. Statistics shows what happened now. Why it happened is a different question - i.e. why female law students become female judges less than male law students. I personally have no idea and no opinion on this, I didn't research that question. But I think there's a very high probability there is nothing sacred in "30%" number.

> Or are you just ignoring the state of gender in the law, even as you present it as a success story, just as the original blog did?

I am not ignoring anything. The discussion was about the difference in student numbers. Which needs to be explained. The difference of post-education numbers needs to be explained too, certainly, but to be workable, the hypothesis has to explain both (actually, all) facts. That's the whole point - if we have a mismatch between law and CS students, we need to account for it or invalidate or hypothesis if it does not. It is pointless to switch the discussion to other point if we aren't done with this one. You can't reach parity in CS employment starting with 20% of CS students. Unless of course one wants to cause massive unemployment and discrimination against male graduates, which I believe nobody is considering.

> The reason that there is not a percentage of judges equal to the prevelance of women in the population, is due to systemic factors.

What is "systemic factors"? It sounds like placeholder that could mean anything. How can I check why "systemic factors" influence judges but not pediatricians? Why they influence CS students but not psychology students? Engineers but not mathematicians or veterinarians?

> Pretending those don't exist

I can't pretend those don't exist because I have no idea what "systemic factors" are. A definition would be nice. Maybe I agree with you 100% that they exist - I just don't know you call them "systemic factors".

> so that you can mock people who think systemic issues apply elsewhere,

Since I asked to give examples of "mocking" twice and none followed, I conclude that this claim is false, and respectfully ask to stop mentioning any "mocking" until example would be produced. I didn't "mock" anybody, neither did Scott, as becomes clear from absence of examples despite repeated asking for them.
Well, there's a few already implemented an on cpan[1], so even if you were being optimistic thinking you could do it without outside input, the truth is there's plenty of Perl specific prior art to examine which likely makes it quite easy to make a simple Lisp. I'm not sure how that maps to what you were thinking of.

Speaking of responsiveness and memory usage... When Atom first came out, I was one of those people harping about how goddamn slow and unresponsive it was compared to ST2 (and later ST3). When I realized just how much those milliseconds meant to me, I decided to see what was faster than even ST out there and I ended up on neovim.

It's 2017, and after two decades of fighting vi and vim at every corner, I am finally a convert. I spent (and still spend) a crazy amount of time getting neovim to behave the way I expect an IDE to behave, but the speed and responsiveness of vim in my terminal and the degree of customization finally, finally made me embrace (neo)vim and see the light, all these years later.

(rust developer life tip: forget racer, it is absolute garbage and ridiculously immature and incomplete. It is eons away from being useful to "code via intellisense" and the list of missing functionality or just simply wrong functionality is longer than the list of things it gets right. Just as I was about to give up on rust code completions, I discovered rls and its mixed racer/rustc approach to completions and haven't looked back. The
ide and language-independent nature of the language server protocol and its blossoming implementations for different cilents and different languages is incredible, I wish it all the best.)

This used to be a thing. It was when you paid $60-120 a month for your cable TV package.

Did you really think everyone was gonna let you cut that down to $10 a month?
> The ESPN-branded multi-sport service [...] including Major League Baseball, National Hockey League [...]

Missing NBA and NFL and subject to regional restrictions and Fox Sports ownership. Any non-cable package that doesn't offer regional broadcasts of ANY of the major 4 is a weak one.

Until the leagues stop with regional restrictions, these sports packages will be hamstrung and never sell on their own. But why would the leagues do this when they can double dip: charge some customers for all-but-local (i.e. blacked out) online (e.g. mlb.tv) and charge others via their cable package for their local teams (i.e. there is no Fox Sports Go w/out cable subscription).

These companies (ESPN and Fox) really need to use their weight to make these leagues and teams stop w/ arbitrary restrictions based on location. But it goes the other direction these days, see the exorbitant prices cable networks pay leagues/teams for exclusive regional broadcast rights (on cable + their online package) and still don't get the right to serve it to someone out-of-region.

Until they use this weight, they will continue to falter because consumers are using their weight.
I would probably start by giving non-negligible weight to the 25M people who are currently suffering. Essentially every analysis I hear is about preventing hypothetical attacks in the future on the wealthy countries making the decisions.

Smart move by disney to negotiate some sort of option out, cause they should have moved towards a streaming service years ago.

If you are a bit interested in more references (those claims sound horrible, but they are not as far-fetched as they sound), have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n691pLhQBkw.

You're not wrong. "Dark Matter" is just a name we've given to whatever it is that causes these things we can't otherwise explain.

It does have some properties that we've managed to figure out, and they do look matter-ish.
Your example is laughably contrived, unrealistic, and so full of plot holes that my fingers would tire from typing all my thoughts out. By contrast, the very real privacy invasion damage that invariably occurs in the kind of world that you're advocating for is well documented, and dystopian in the extreme. The never forgetting Internet, the different insurance rates, the illegal files on every citizen etc. I want no part of such a world.
Google’s Testament to Political Correctness
This is really just an attempt to inject Twitter drama into the discussion. Obviously, it is not a common position among lesbians to eject people from their parades for carrying Jewish pride flags† --- one way you know that is it was a lesbian who was ejected from the parade.

You're criticizing one small LGBT subgroup, but misrepresenting them as the whole LGBT community. Which in the context of this discussion is just an attempt to muddy the water. Please don't do that.

(that, by the way, is what got them ejected --- being perceived as vocally pro-Israel --- not "for being Jewish". Plenty of Jewish people are anti-Israel.)

If every studio thinks I'm going to pay them $10+ a month to stream their content, they are going to be very mistaken.

I can't imagine that a lot of people want to spend the collective hundreds of dollars to sign up for all the streaming services. It's almost asking to drive people to torrents.

Now, if Disney does something like $30/year or something really affordable - sure. I might do that on a whim. I guess it's all about volume vs. price.

Netflix, however, I'll keep paying for gladly because of the library size. For the streaming price, it is well worth the value.
Okay. Most.js then, at 10kb minified looking at the build on unpkg.

Also, implementing an observable from scratch is pretty much trivial. The operators are where all of the logic are, and they are arguably simpler to understand than alternatives because of how well documented they are. And if you limit yourself to the operators that are equivalent to what this library provides, there really wouldn't be much complexity to it.
Because designing UIs in a universally-understood, well-tooled markup language like HTML is a lot more developer-efficient than [insert-native-C++-library-here]. Electron allows the use of web tech on the front end with as many native or non-native calls on the backend as you want.

The separatist movement is a political maneuver to (re)gain lost political rights. Nigeria is not dividing in any of our life times. Terrorism is an issue I agree, but it has been confined to a small corner of the northwest for a while now.

I suspect the thought process is something like, "Collaboration makes the office more productive. Therefore, if we force the employees to collaborate all the time, we can maximize productivity!"
Maybe one day we'll get to the point where the content is mostly commoditized, and we'll simple be paying for whichever aggregating service provides the best usability (such as searching, recommendation, shared watching with remote friends, etc) will be leading instead. I don't think it will be anytime soon though.
I haven't decided yet whether I think the memo is sexist. But I'm confident that, because of how it's written, sexist people who read it will feel validated in their sexism.

It uses the same core argument as sexism: women are less suited to certain tasks, perhaps biologically. And it reaches the same conclusion: we should roll back our pro-diversity and pro-empathy programs. A sexist person who reads this will therefore feel that it supports their views, and, because the argument seems rationalist, they'll conclude that their poor treatment of women is rationalist. That might not be the intent of the document, but it is a predictable outcome.

Words that validate sexist behavior, intentionally or unintentionally, contribute to the problem. Regardless of the merit of the underlying idea, or the valuable conversations it inspired, it's important to remember that the memo itself did harm. It's appropriate that some people are focusing on that.
It seems a lot of managers live in that phantasy world where people do nothing but collaborate. Do they really think that code gets written that way?

A large part why Spotify, Netflix and Steam are so successful is because they are more convenient than piracy, and they have most of the content you would want.

The Dream Machine: JCR Licklider and the Revolution That Made Computing Personal
Good to see that the classic "middlebrow dismissal" is still alive and well here on HN.

The fact is that dark matter isn't just some half-baked theory that astrophysicists pulled out of their ass. Nor does it represent some lame attempt to just sweep complexity under the rug as if astronomers said "I dunno, probably magic", shrugged, and moved on.

Dark matter is a very specific and constrained theory that has withstood the test of decades of observational tests where all other theories have fallen by the wayside. Astrophysicists and cosmologists did not set out trying to force the theory of dark matter on the world, they have tried repeatedly to prove that other explanations could account for observational evidence, but none did. Instead they've had the reality of dark matter thrust upon them.

And it's not such a crazy theory either. We know that there are other kinds of weakly interacting massive particles such as neutrinos that exist in the Universe. And we know that our understanding of particle physics, the standard model, is incomplete. It is not a great leap to posit that potentially there are other types of weakly interacting massive particles that we have yet to discover. We know that neutrinos and "hot dark matter" does not make up the majority of the mass of dark matter in our Universe through several lines of observations. We know that baryonic (atomic) matter is also not dark matter as well. Only "cold" (sub-relativistic speeds) WIMPs fit the evidence for dark matter. The evidence gathered from galactic motion studies, gravitational lensing observations, simulations of the evolution of the large scale structure of the Universe, measurements of the cosmic microwave background, and many other experiments. Nothing fits all the data except the cold dark matter theory. That's why scientists believe it.

The fact that you are skeptical about it is irrelevant. Educate yourself on the evidence and science of it first, and then you can talk.
