This entire article is responding to a straw man.

"We can say flatly that there is no evidence that women’s biology makes them incapable of performing at the highest levels in any STEM fields."

That's nice. But that's not what Damore argued.

Rather, Damore argued that biology has a significant role in the interests of men and women, not their capabilities. There is a mountain of compelling evidence to support this claim.

This is called colinearity - you can check for it by comparing the rank of the matrix to its number of columns. In R qr(X)$rank. Good to add this to your EDA workflow.

They have really dropped the ball with this one. I know I wouldn't work with benchmark if I had a choice in the matter. A company is too hard to build - let alone a unicorn - to let investors treat you the way Benchmark have treated Travis. There are better ways to deal with such issues. They embarrassed him and left him out to dry at a time when they should have been most supportive.

I am severely disappointed in Benchmark and I hope they go away for good!

How to Start an Export Business
If you want to use a powerful gdb visual interface, you may want to try DDD. However, DDD has an old-fashioned GUI which is very crude. I have tried several visual debugging tools, such as RedHat Insight, DDD, Nemiver and kdbg, but none of them is enough powerful or stable. As far as I know, DDD can't display non-English comments in source code.

Now I'm using an awesome GDB init file to construct a convenient debugging interface. It's an open source project and you won't regret it:
https://github.com/cyrus-and/gdb-dashboard

There is also a browser-based frontend for GDB:
https://github.com/cs01/gdbgui

If you want to try more, search the keyword GDB on GitHub and sort by stars, then you will find many GDB enhancement tools.

Interesting. I think the 2003 reprint had a little section at the end with an interview that Judy Del Rey did with him. In that, if I recall correctly, he mentions a different origin story: that works of art become slowly bowdlerised as each affected group of people takes offence to something in them. In time, all books are banned so as to prevent offence.
Not peculiar to SV.

I lived in London UK from 2008 through 2013, and worked at two self-described start-ups.

One had been operating since 2006 (so ~5 years when I was with them), and the other had been a struggling (sans profit) business for just over 15 years. The MD of the latter would occasionally try to tidy up the truth by saying things like 'we're starting up a new exciting branch of the business', but mostly just used the s-word outright at recruitment fairs and in job ads.

I'm not entirely sure the practice worked in anyone's favour.
> That early dig against Windows was particularly funny. There's no way I would pick that over Visual Studio's debugging tools.

Throw in the Sysinternals suite and hopefully powershell continues to improve and you have a very nice debugging/sys admin/etc toolset.

There is a mountain of evidence that interests are more strongly shaped by biology than by the social environment?

That's an interesting thesis, I'd like to see that.

All I could find showed that biology had an influence, but it was orders of magnitudes smaller than all influence that social environments had.
Codegear has kept some of the Turbo Pascal stuff on their museum site.

For example, Turbo Pascal 5.5 targeting MS-DOS was released in 1989 and was compiling 34,000 lines/minute.

https://edn.embarcadero.com/article/20803

This is just one example, there are plenty of other languages to choose from with a module based compilation model, only C and C++ toolchains have lousy build times given their textual inclusion model.

http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/c-compilation-speed/228701711

So the only achievement of Go's compilation speed was making younger generations think it is something extraordinary.
> If computer code == what-we-agreed-here isn't what you want, then you don't want smart contracts.

That is one thing that both skeptics and the most zealous of smart-contract proponents agree on.

Many of Ethereum's key players thought that was what they wanted until they found themselves in a contract containing a 'clause' they had not anticipated.
It has trouble with negation outside the relevant clause. So it is not fooled by e.g. "I don't hate it" vs. "I don't like it", but the first of the following two sentences is rated more negative than the second:

I don't seem to hate it.

I don't seem to like it.

Edit: In fact it can even be fooled just by increasing the linear distance between a positive term and negation. The following is rated +0.6!

I don't in any way shape or form like it.

Not to mention the fact that, as others have said, scanning your tabs for images is much, much quicker than scanning text. Favicons also give your site character and create a lasting visual impression of your brand. They are as important as a logo. Seems like a major step backwards.

Bradbury wanted to write a book about TV turning people into morons, but he failed. He tried to: he wrote about a world where TV is omnipresent and people lack any intellectual cricism and curiosity, and tried to persuade readers that TV was the cause of this intellectual laziness.

This is actually a common trick that dystopian SF authors will use: they will create a world with two prominent features (e.g. GMO and caste society in "A Brave New World") and suggest that they are causally linked.

Bradbury failed at that. In his world, books are burnt. He assumed readers would see that as a consequence of TV that made people incurious, instead most readers recognized (correctly IMO) that book burning and censorship was instead the most likely cause of the situation.

And actually, as history unfolded (this book dates from 1953), we saw that TV did not replace books and did not actually displace them at all. Internet did, to some extent, but ebooks are pretty popular (and people still read them, despite all the SF predictions about audiobooks becoming the only available medium)

Also, in 1949, a famous book, 1984, presented a word full of incurious and frankly intellectually limited people that was caused by propaganda and censorship. It was closer to what was observed in real authoritarian systems and presented much more convincing causal links.

To people who had read 1984, the world presented in Fahrenheit 451 is a magnification of a post-propaganda society, not a result of TV taking over the world.

This is an interesting case of a book staying relevant despite the original idea of its author being invalidated.

Implicit declarations also mean the compiler is less likely to catch typoed names.

I read that with a combination of fascination and nausea.
Well played.

But actually I remember that it can occasionally be used in image processing too, when you would use a pointer to iterate through an image, I would routinely use things like

dx = *(ptr+1)-*(ptr-1);

which is essentially the same as

dx = ptr[1] - ptr[-1];

No ideas, most probably it will be many years in the making, you have to start with children ...

It was just an alternative (jokingly) to the idea of the "MD5 for mail packages".

The actual issue is not with the Postal Service or the delivery, it is with Amazon checks on it.

The package was sent to address B instead of address A, it was delivered by the post/courier to address B, and properly signed for by a valid recipient at address B.

It is the Amazon checks that failed to detect that the order was intended for address A and that having it delivered to address B does not represent a fulfillment of the order.

There is however IMHO no need of a complex verification algorithm, and a statistic p-value calculation triggering this or that action.
There is a difference between massacres and extermination campaigns.

The mongols sacking baghdad isn't the same as the Nazis exterminating jews or the british exterminating aborigines or native americans.

The mongols didn't have a racist/religious ideology which would have led them to go on an extermination campaign. They didn't sack baghdad and go around killing every arab they could find. They didn't sack baghdad because they hated arabs for heir race. They sacked baghdad because their leader executed mongol emissaries.

That is different from the race-based extermination campaign where natives and aborigines were outright exterminated because of who they were. That's what separates the mongols from the british empire or nazi germany who specifically set out to exterminate a race.

Were the mongols brutal in their subjugation of certain peoples. Of course. But that's how you build empire. As soon as the nation submitted, they pretty much left and collected tribute. They didn't stay behind to wipe out the people.

The nazis exterminated ALL jews ( those who fought against them and those who submitted ).

> whereas an empire that massacres urban natives = inclusive and accepting.

My point was that the mongols went to war against states/nations/empires ( aka that's why they conquered cities ). The mongols didn't wage racial/religious wars of extermination. I'm not saying their massacres of the urban populace is good. It is horrific. But that's what all empires did. What separates british empire and nazi empire from the mongol empire is that the mongols didn't wage extermination wars. They didn't wipe out the russians, arabs, persians, chinese, koreans or anyone else for that matter.

There are chinese people in china, arabs in the middle east, persians in iran, russians in russia, etc. Something you can't say about the aborigines in australia or the natives.

I was tasked by consultant working for my company to find a solution to be able to follow our clients consumption and allow for commercial engineers to bill. I tried to upgrade an existing app to do the job, but its maintainer and I failed to put it into production. That's why I decided to create another app based on a prototype I had laying around in just 3 days. Now the app is in preproduction, the commercial engineers are happy BUT everyone else is unhappy: 0) the consultant is gone 1) my co-worker tells me it's bad idea because it increase fragmentation 2) sysadmin is unhappy because the app runs on top the recent debian stable (and their ready made VMs are still oldstable) 3) Worst of all, the new r&d director argued that not only that is was immature behavior but that I am immature and gave me a raise.

Children are more sensitive to bitter, probably as an evolutionary tactic to prevent unknown harmful substances from being ingested. As we grow older, we distinguish more between good bitter and bad bitter and are socialized to enjoy various bitter things.

However, individual variance swamps large group trends so it's easy to find children who love vegetables from an early age and adults who are hyper sensitive and hate the taste.

Or, quite the opposite.

I played DotA a few dozen hours, mostly against the computer, to learn. Then I played only a few matches against people, but I generally didn't like them.

Why? Because there were expectations that I would know certain things, or that I would perform at a certain level, and the other players were, on average, a bunch of young kids with tons of time to play DotA and their own weird jargon and acronyms for me.

I would strongly prefer to play against bots only, and be able to adjust the difficulty, to make the game always challenging and interesting as I progress in skill level. It could also make the "competitor" in me happy by knowing what my (objective) ranking would be.

And then there's FATCA which makes you unwanted by banks in many countries. Try cashing a paycheck, paying rent, doing anything while being unbanked in a developed country. US people who don't travel much or live abroad have no idea how oppressive the US government is in its attempts to limit people and capital from migrating.
> It's easier to just exclude US residents instead of dedicating significant time and resources in trying to comply

FATCA comes to mind. Incredibly short sighted law that was designed for foreign countries to comply with US code (just reporting back to homeland). But it grew out of proportion so much that upon cost analysis HSBC decided it will be easier just ban new customers and eject current us-citizens than actually keep army of accountants to make sure they comply. Other banks followed it shortly after. The result - us citizens are pretty much unwelcome and almost impossible to setup a business account in most China land.

Congratulation Senator Levin, Baucus and Rangel with providing sourceless numbers of $100B USD lost due to outside non-taxation and writing this butchered law. Good job ruining US citizens ability to invest and/or run businesses outside so much already competitive US.

It's by design. Award shows are highly politicized and so is the publishing industry. They always have been.

If you want to get published, use a woman's name or an "ethnic" name because that's what the publishing industry wants.

There was the famous case a few years ago of Yi-Fen-Chou. Where a white man couldn't find a publisher for his literary works until he changed the author's name from Michael Derrick Hudson to Yi-Fen-Chou. And magically, his poem was selected for the "Best American Poems of 2015" anthology.

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet/2015/09/yi-fen-chou...

It's weird how society veers from one extreme to another. In the past, women and minorities changed/altered their names to make it sound more male/white. JK Rowling herself said that she used JK Rowling instead of Joanne Rowling because a woman's name would hurt her chances with publishers and audiences. Now, having a woman's name is a help rather than a hindrance.
Don't publish this too much. I think scammers could easily destroy that forum if they jumped on it
