In my keepass DB, I have 295 passwords. Are you suggesting that I should manually remember 295 unique complex passwords, rather than one long, secure password (that I cycle every 6 months or so), and a 2 factor key?

Also, my password manager protects me against phishing attacks such as being sent a password reset for my iCloud account, and clicking on the link to icloud.malicious.com. if my PW manager doesn't fill it in automatically, I don't give it my credentials as there's something wrong.

You also imply that value is a fixed cost. For instance, in 2008 when I signed up to facebook, it was a low value account, now it's a high value account.

Assuming a single warhead and something small like NK's ICBMs which is in the 20-30kt range, yes. Now when you're dealing with modern ICBMs, like the ones the US, Russia, China and a few other countries have, the prognosis isn't as good. Modern ICBMs are MIRVs (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle). For example the current Russian MIRV ICBM is the R-36M2 (NATO designation SS-18 Satan Mod 5) which carries 10 warheads each with a charge of 550-750kt. So on Nukemap punch in a single air-burst warhead in the 550-750kt range and imagine 10 of them spread over a wide area. That's what a single R-36M2 could do. Russia currently has 104 of them deployed. They also have 278 of the older R-36MUTTKh (NATO SS-18 Satan Mod 4) deployed which each carry 10 550kt warheads. Russia is in the process of deploying the successor to the R-36M, the RS-28 Sarmat (NATO designation SS-X-30 SATAN 2) which can carry a single warhead with a 50Mt charge or between 10-15 MIRV warheads or 24 hypersonic glide vehicles, depending on the configuration. A single RS-28 Sarmat in a MIRV or hypersonic glide vehicle configuration could flatten an area about the size of Texas. And if all that isn't horrific enough, it's hypersonic, which means all current missile defenses are useless against it.

Thanks for joining the discussion. I wonder how do you keep business running (bigender claims an outstanding support) while in retreat ? Does only a part of the company goes on retreat ?
Tangential question- I'm in the UK and I am keen to become a iOS developer (I'm currently a senior .NET developer in a large firm). Are there enough opportunities remaining in iOS development as a contractor / creator of ('enterprise') apps to make a living? I would be very grateful if anyone could share any advice / personal experience.

In one of the previous discussions, it was said that it was published in an internal social network, in a group that was specifically dedicated to diversity hiring at Google. Is that incorrect?
Its a question of degree. Yes you have to have 'some' people skills to be a programmer in a team but its a small amount of skill. In a group of people that probably has more in common with you than any other group you have to interact with in life.

But its much less people skills then a manager, in meetings most of the day resolving issues that are much higher level that involve different departments etc.

So your average programming job is well within the social skills of the vast majority of Men. When your evaluating a pool of potential hires its going to be 95% finding the best programmer and then the last 5% is making sure there not crazy or a drug addict etc.

Its never going to be the case that you start out with a pool of resumes from people with really nice personal bios and try and find out which ones can program a computer.
TL/DR version: AI to the rescue!

It causes some interesting behavior on websites that check to see if you have flash before letting you play games (sorry, you need to have flash installed). I had a user script for a while that 'fixed' the navigator.$whatever to show having flash installed so I could play some game; now I just use Shumway and it seems to work.

Also, just because one male engineer built a network in his weekend doesn't mean we all do. I spend my weekends doing stuff with my kids.

Well, not last week, when I went to SHA-2017, but there was a surprising number of children there. 10% someone claimed, which is way more than I'd ever seen at previous hacker festivals. Clearly nerds and hackers are having love lives and kids these days. And although the majority was absolutely typical white male nerds like me, there were also a lot of women.

And that's the core issue, I think. It doesn't have to be a perfect 50/50 split, but women and minorities do have to be welcome. Explicitly so, if there's any history of sexism and prejudice. If women leave the industry because they don't like the content of the work itself, that's fine. But if they leave because they don't like their co-workers or the atmosphere, then you've got a culture problem.
When has that ever not been the case in the workplace? Every workplace has norms and values where someone who runs afoul of them may be fired.

Norms change over time. There was a time when it would've been okay to use the 'n' word to insult black people in many work places, now it's not okay. There was a time when lewd and demeaning talk about women was ok in the workplace, now it's not.

The people who sign the checks have always been able to define what is and is not acceptable in the workplace. Some people are feeling caught out because the line has moved, but it has always been there.
Publishing something on an internal board that's aimed at discussing diversity is hardly 'publishing the rant for all the world to see'. I just don't get how people who're obviously upset about this memo and must therefore have spent some time reading up about it (right? Right?!) still get this basic fact wrong.

This guy expressed his opinions, and a witch hunting mob, because that's what it was, descended on him from all over the internet to rip his reputation to shreds for things he didn't do or write (most of the outrage was about 'perceived' slights).

It's just sad... The worst part was that it validated a lot of what he said, and people somehow just don't see the irony in that.
I am aware of a case where employee s performance was criticized in written form because "you are too old". I can't detail specifics because of confidential issues. But there are times that people put their bias in written form.
The discrimination arises when you start to assume that a specific candidate is "less willing to learn new programming languages" because you have this preconception about his age group and he belongs to that age group.
In RMS world there would be less software so less ways for people to express themselves freely. Photoshop frees a lot of people from the inability to express themselves in the exact way they want.

In RMS world all software woud be GPL licensed, including photoshop. In his view there are other ways software companies can make money than selling licenses, and it is up to their customers to demand them to do that.

>I made the grave mistake of trying to express that point on Twitter. Twitter seems to be a poor vehicle for nuanced debate at the best of time, but it's a dumpster fire right now full of raging people who don't understand what you've just said.

It's worse. They don't care for what you've said, and they don't particularly care about the issues they talk about either.

Some (media people, etc.) use the issues to have a career or an audience. At best, they convince themselves they care, but they don't in any real capacity.

Others use the issues to vent their frustrations from their lives (as a religion substitute and group signifier) and as an excuse to fight with people.

Others are just repeating what is in fashion in their circle (progressive or conservative) and use the issues as a tribal thing.

(And I'm talking about people on both sides of the spectrum here).

Are doctors and lawyers really a good comparison? Doctors sacrifice their late 20s to ridiculous hours as interns and residents. The lawyers who make partner in big-name firms work ridiculous hours to do so. In these professions the women are putting in the hours.

Both, but README in repository (and front of the homepage) is more important.

So the README doesn't actually mention Hiera or Puppet at all :-) - I guess what you're saying is that I need to explain the use case in more detail?
> So if, in the end, distribution becomes the new "dumb pipes" at what point do the content providers pull the judo flip and control the distribution and the margin?

The disney thing is really interesting to me. They don't have enough content to pull me in. Not even close. Netflix does. Sure Disney has a niche, and it's not me.

Realistically though - if each content provider wishes to fragment and stream their own content I'm going to end up not finding any single offering compelling. I'll go back to watching a lot less and paying for nothing.
There are companies that strip personally identifying information from the resume in the first few phases and iirc diversitiy did go up. Been a while since I read about it so I don't recall thr complete details but there is a radio lab episode about it.
Well, bear in mind that websites was way simpler to render for a browser back then.
In my experience, male co-workers talking about their relationships tend to fall in three categories:

* they talk about how hot women are (which makes me a bit uncomfortable, because I don't talk about women that way),

* they just divorced and talk about how all women are bitches (which makes me even more uncomfortable)

* they talk about their kids (which is often awesome)
If this is true then I feel like I've avoided a bullet. Was looking at a position at SF that would have rolled up to him.
Okay, so they have cookies on a subdomain of the main site's domain. But that in itself is not a problem, since it does not enable them to track me across websites. So I don't have a problem with that, unless they use other tricks. Are they using browser profiling or something similar to correlate across websites?
Yes. Even super rare koenigseggs, and paganis are crash tested. If I recall right, koenigsegg uses one or two monocoque carbon frames to pass the tests.

I am not expecting Apple to release anything. I am hoping for swift.org to one day proclaim that the toolchain and the libraries are available on Windows and other platforms. What I am expecting Apple to do is get behind its own language. I mentioned in another post in this thread -- it is not just about technical work. A lot of it has to do with marketing/evangalism. While individual contributors can help, it takes the backing of large company to get something adopted at a large scale. Why do you think Go succeeded while languages like Nim, D etc are not being adopted as well? What I expect from Apple is to spare a couple of people for the purpose of giving talks, writing blogs etc in addition to working on Swift -- something like what Rob Pike et al have been doing for Go. From what I understand, Apple writes a lot of their backend stuff in Java. Perhaps they could start investing in Swift on server side and open source some of the frameworks/libraries they come up with?

> I really am saying if you want to see better Swift support on platform X then start contributing.

I want to get Swift adopted at my workplace for the next project we are working on. I should tell the management I'll start working on it as soon as I get Swift ported to the platform I use. It would go down really well.

What makes you assume I am not contributing in whatever way I can?

> You can take a look at what IBM has been doing in this space, but in general I'm not sure what you are asking for.

IBM has done some good work, alright. But they are the only ones. A lot more work is required If Sipwift were to become a mainstream language.

Odele’s Brain: Automated Tax Blueprint Challenge
It might, but it does not - that's kind of the whole point, the gender differences appear even in societies/areas where there's opposite social pressure. Preferences matter, preferences differ between gender, and even in a hypothetical ideal world with perfectly equal opportunity and noone being dissuaded from pursuing certain career paths the gender distribution of quite a few professions would be far from 50/50 due to the preferences.

For an example more detailed/sourced argument, http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/07/contra-grant-on-exagger... might be a start.
At some places, they have one branch of "good cop" HR that cuddles the employees, hands out candy and attempt to boost morale, and one "bad cop" branch that does all the dirty work of protecting the company from liability and attempting to squeeze out as many hours as possible while keeping compensation and human costs to a minimum.
Truly horrifying
I think at this point we can all agree that Damore tied himself to alt-right by doing those interviews.

Good find, the resource I found earlier:
http://toyota.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7604/~/wh...
did mention "extensive idling" as "Special Condition" but did not mention "and/or low speed driving" and associate it with Police or taxi service.

Of course I take back what said before, always do what the Toyota engineers recommend.
>This is an example of people taking exactly the wrong lesson from this situation. The guy wasn't fired for having a 'dissenting opinion'. He was fired because he basically said women are underrepresented in IT because they are biologically unsuited for it.

He never said that women are "biologically unsuited" for IT. Here's what he sead in full: https://medium.com/@Cernovich/full-james-damore-memo-uncenso...

In short, he said that biological differences (with citations) can explain in the aggregate (not in the total absolute of the population) different preferences, job options, etc., and even suggested ways to change the working environment to alleviate those issues and make it welcome to more personality traits associated statistically with women (as described in citations and statistics he gave).

What kind of person misattributes another with straw-man arguments they didn't say and gloats on their misfortune of being fired?

What he said might or might not be true, but in any case it's no basis for firing someone (as it's not related to their job performance), and it's something that absolutely should be allowed to be debated and studied.

The assumption "all sexes/cultures etc are equally predisposed to everything or even if they are not they should be considered as such and nobody should talk about it again" is not a way to have any kind of dialogue.

>There are a lot of situations these days where people are expressing opinions at work that are insensitive to or outright disparage another group of people, then getting shocked when they're fired.

If the tide turns, or you live in a country where the reverse tenets are held (e.g. Saudi Arabia), don't be surprised and don't complain if you are fired for saying what you believe then...

It's all par for the course and well as long as the majority or those in control of your job believe that you should have a specific sensitivity, right?
Few sites silently use the first n characters and discard the rest, without any error. You find it only when u try to login.

India's pension system (kind of similar to 401k, you contribute monthly, you get pension monthly after 60) (eNPS (national pension system))[https://cra-nsdl.com/CRA/] does this. At initial signup, it helpfully tells max length is 14 chars. You need to change password every 3 months. So, i added a 1 behind keepass generated password. It said success. Error at login. Somehow i tried with earlier password. It went in, but said change password as its 3months old.
I appreciate the feedback re the docs - I've been burried deep in this stuff for years and it's sometimes an easy mistake to make writing docs with the assumption the audience understands the basics.... I'll update the README shortly, I'm also working on a blog post for the Ansible lookup integration where I'm trying really hard to think like a person who has no idea what hierarchical lookups are or why you would want them - so thanks for the extra feedback here.
For me, the best Regex ressource is still http://regexr.com

It explains what each character does just by hovering over a regex. Best tool to learn or to fine tune your regular expression (with testing included).
But there's different ways of opening dev tools. You can use the mouse to right click as well.
In fact, when using keyboard shortcuts in the better these days, I have a habit of hitting alt+D first to get to the address bar first (Outlook likes to hijack browser shortcuts like Ctrl+n), in which case the website shouldn't know I'm pressing anything at all.

Yes, usually at least once. Part of the reason supercars are so expensive is that the engineering costs are only amortized over a small number of vehicles. The crash test can be considered part of that cost.

The actual incremental cost to produce a supercar is a fraction of the price tag.

In addition to official government crash tests, non-governmental groups such as IIHS also crash test mass market vehicles, but they actually have to purchase the vehicles they test - hoping to make money by selling back the information they collect. It's pretty much never cost effective for IIHS to buy supercars for crash testing.

I disagree. There are many excellent programmers who don't do it as a hobby. I used to, especially before I was a professional programmer, but I can't find the time or energy for it anymore. Better keep it professional and do something else as a hobby.
Your observations are correct, and the more you can nurture those skills in yourself and others right alongside the ability to optimize algorithms and learn new frameworks, the faster you will leave the programmers who don't think these "soft" skills are useful very quickly behind.
That observation matches my experience, at least for cheap offers. I bought a one-year subscription to ivacy.com (a Hong Kong based provider ~ Chinese government controlled) at a ridiculously low sales price and it turned out that they impose a maximum password length of 8 characters limited to a small ASCII set. It's like buying a cheap Casio watch imitation with a "waterproof" sticker on it - not really waterproof...

Interesting. I had decent results with openconnect over daily rebuilding t2.nano instances in ap-* regions. Didn't try wireguard yet since I have a Mac, but UBNT ER-X is on the way and it has wireguard support.
At this point I would like to see an itemised list of James Damore's points on gender and women's interpretations of them.

This is the pair programming text in full:

> Below I'll go over some of the differences in distribution of traits between men and women that I

> outlined in the previous section and suggest ways to address them to increase women's

> representation in tech without resorting to discrimination. Google is already making strides in

> many of these areas, but I think it's still instructive to list them

>> Women on average show a higher interest in people and men in things

>>> We can make software engineering more people-oriented with pair programming

>>> and more collaboration. Unfortunately, there may be limits to how

>>> people-oriented certain roles at Google can be and we shouldn't deceive

>>> ourselves or students into thinking otherwise (some of our programs to get

>>> female students into coding might be doing this)

My understanding is: if we increase pair programming to make it more of a team activity, more women will enjoy programming, and more women will become programmers.

We don't have to agree with the suggestion. But you've just shown us that our interpretations are wildly different. So, why?

Edit: formatting
The population of Google technical employees is I think the equivalent to the population of Olympic athletes in my example. If the general population has a different distribution (again whether you agree or not with that assumption), then there should be a natural imbalance among the cream of the top that made it to Google. And as you said, those who made it are all "Olympic athletes" (in theory, they should have been recruited based on individual merit) so these distributions do not mean that a female google employee would be more or less capable than a male, but it will result in less female google employees than male employees.
I highly doubt it's production code.
Nobody uses both objects(pointers) and interfaces simultaneously. It's a quick way to disaster.
In practice Delphi/FPC interfaces serve their purpose.
Because QtCreator isn't up to the job compared even with Delphi 1 for Windows 3.x, but sadly the younger generations never got to use it professionally.

Delphi and Visual Basic, were like the Smalltalk/Lisp Machine (I am exaggerating a bit) of the RAD programming generation.

Try to create a database frontend or image manipulation program in QtCreator just with the GUI designer.
