There's a difference between "starting a conversation" and blasting out an e-mail to 50,000 people that doesn't really even grasp the realities of modern software development. There's a chain of command about this kind of stuff for a reason. The author is simply mistaken on the requirements that make a good software developer: yes, it is true that on average, men are probably better at heads-down software development. But that's at most half of the job of software development, and it's honestly the least important part to get right.

On other metrics (such as interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, etc - all critical components of modern engineering) women are better on average. How many Silicon Valley startups fail because their product represents the problems that the team members (who tend to be mostly white men) are facing? How many investors went along with this because they too had the same problem?

Point is, you don't get to cherry-pick statistics that match your perceived criteria for the job and claim to be trying to start an unbiased dialog. I don't think it's intentionally disingenuous -- I think that the author of the original memo has a limited view of the job and the problems associated with it.

That's honestly the biggest problem here: white men very often believe their viewpoint is the only valid one, and don't even consider alternate viewpoints. I'm not saying this as "white men bad!" -- I'm totally empathetic to the fact that many white men feel they are under attack -- but that misses the point. Everyone who is not a white man has felt that way their entire lives in some degree. Every way you deviate from the "straight white male" archetype (by being black, gay, female, transgender, etc.) is another front you have to play defense on.

I think the right response is something along the lines of "Your viewpoint is valid, but please understand that it is not the only one that is valid." We have to be careful not to invalidate someone's lived experience -- that's exactly the problem we accuse white men of, and showing the same behavior right back isn't going to solve the problem.

Well, this is used now by about 4000 clients. So you be the judge. There is so many indexes, and spaghetti, just to make sure every possible "relationship" is accounted for. Amazing it works at all.

Just using an XML file is pretty crazy though.
I ended up writing a full compiler stack in XSLT for declarative, XML-based DSLs[0][1] and a few targets (mainly JavaScript and HTML). It didn't start out as that, but having already written basic HTML/JS generation from a simple DSL, it evolved from there.

It was originally written in XSLT 1.0 so that it could generate in the web browser, which had some serious limitations and was incredibly verbose. XSLT 2 is much less verbose, but obviously XML is verbose in general.

If I had to do it over, I'd use Lisp, but the functional and template-based style of XSLT made for very natural syntax-directed translation for the compilers. I still have the cruft of old XSLT 1 code (which was written when I was also _learning_ XSLT), but all things considered, it's not all that bad. Most of the pain points are the patchwork evolution of the project; done from scratch in XSLT, it'd be much more elegant.

And, like Lisp, XSLT can parse itself as data (sans xpath). That allowed me to use a semi-literate style (generate literate documentation from the sources), for example.

He simply asked you to backup your claim, which you don't seem to be able to otherwise you would have. Throwing around a "yeah they can do it, but they must be cheating" isn't exactly constructive.

One time I saw a database, with a single table, with a single text column that contained the old database.
Not sure how large very large is or the performance you need but you might want to check out the fairly recently added graph support in datashader (examples: https://anaconda.org/jbednar/edge_bundling/notebook)

Here's an example of the output which I then put into tiles & rendered out: https://proseandcode.co.uk/beta_gtr_viz/

I think there's 600k edges in this, all rendered.

I did some of the work on the edge bundling, the split out code is here: https://gitlab.com/ianjcalvert/edgehammer

All of this is more work than just loading it into a current program though, but it might be a useful component of what you need, hopefully a large useful part.

Get in touch if I can help out.
Alternatively did the application speed up after it was normalized? A normalized data set can be substantially smaller which may allow the entire data set to fit in memory.

Also, it's officially "PostgreSQL" or informally "Postgres". Not "PostGres".
What happens if no one ever picks it up.. like; is the transaction in limbo forever and at some point someone could just mine it so you have no idea if it will ever go through? Or is there some kind of expiration.

Not really; the big barrier is between tech companies and non-tech companies. Once you leave the tech world it can be harder to get back in.

Again, as a sysadmin my experience is probably different from a developer's: every industry needs sysadmins, and in a lot of smaller places you'll literally be the only IT employee other than possibly a CIO.

Here's how this always goes: Someone thinks they have a killer algorithm and it works and makes them money...for a time. Then it suddenly doesn't work anymore and they lose more than they gained. It is not possible to beat the market over the long term unless you are trading on insider information, somehow manipulating markets, front-running orders, or have some other edge that is not universally available. There is no Python script that will simply print money for you year in and year out it doesn't matter what data you feed it or how smart your AI is.

Creating a true UX tool #2 – Speed
Great times indeed. I did map-rendering and later (limited) map editing with SVG, XSLT and python 15 years ago. I even had something that resembled AJAX/REST in my stack, but that was not named in that way back then. I really learned a lot, even if some of it was as crazy as your thing.
The abbreviation suggests that it's Pro Gram Manager. As opposed to, say, an Amateur Ounce Manager.

I think a phone number is shifting to be a replacement for social security numbers in customer databases.

I recommend something similar ... Prof. Dan Grossman's Programming Languages course in Coursera, taught using Standard ML: https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages

He starts by teaching statically typed functional programming with an emphasis on understanding semantics and idioms; then in the following modules he covers Racket and Ruby to compare and contrast dynamically typed homoiconic programming and object-oriented programming.
Really? On Mac I've found it very consistent that alt+left/right jumps forward/back one word, alt+up/down jumps to start/end of paragraph, cmd+left/right jumps to end of line, cmd+up/down goes to beginning or end of all text (like Home/End). This is the case for me in Sublime, RubyMine, Xcode, Firefox, Chrome and any other app I've used in recent years - which apps are you using that don't follow these conventions?
I don't think that the study directly answers the question. Choosing role models is different from choosing toys.

If anything, the study suggests that women are equally capable of becoming engineers:

>Unlike male monkeys and like girls, female monkeys did not show any reliable preference for either toy type.

If you follow the pattern of the study, then men would reject 'female' jobs but women are interested in both 'male' and 'female' options. Women not only tuck in toys but also like playing with guns.

However, according to that article, male monkeys like to play more. You could argue that IT is all play and thus it's a better environment for men.

The article recommends "Hiya" as an app among others. I have it on my phone, but I've had horrible luck with it. The app will correctly identify fraudulent or scam calls, but the program has prevented the call from reaching my phone exactly 0% of the time. In practice, what ends up happening is that my phone rings on the normal Android Dialer app, I decline the call, and then Hiya shows up about 20 seconds later to tell me that the call was from a suspected scam caller, which I already figured out when I decided to decline it.

Even after installing the thing, I'm forced to still do what I was doing before, which is looking at the number and trying to quickly google it on my PC before the ringing stops to figure out whether to answer or not.
It truly sounds like a nightmare. How much time did it took to move everything to psql, and how long until it was stable enough to not keep an eye on it?

That says nothing about phone numbers, just addresses.

Selling an address updating service to parties that already have your address is not the same as "straight up sell[ing] your phone number when you move."

From the horses mouth:

"The information you supply will be used to provide you with the requested mail forwarding and related services. Please be aware that this service is voluntary, and that requested information is required to provide the service. Collection of information for this service is authorized by 39 U.S.C. §403 and 404. We do not disclose your personal information to anyone, except in accordance with the Privacy Act. Authorized disclosures include limited circumstances such as the following ... to mailers, if already in possession of your name and old mailing address, as an address correction service. Information will also be provided to licensed service providers of the USPS to perform mailing list correction service of lists containing your name and old address. A list of these licensed service providers can be obtained at the following URL: http://ribbs.usps.gov/ncoalink /documents/tech_guides/CERTIFIED_LICENSEES"

They imply they only provide the new address but saying "the information you supply" leaves it open to for them to provide your phone number along with your new address.

No job I ever applied to they even took a look at my GitHub profile - and I own or contributed to 34 repos and have 81 followers. Not even when the interview process was guided by technicians my GitHub account mattered. And I actively point out the various repos in my CV. It's honestly a bit frustrating.

So, recommendations and references from people who never saw you at work. There's something wrong about that. I am not saying it doesn't happen, it does, but it still makes very little sense.
There are socially appropriate ways to start a discussion. Taking your concerns directly to a senior leader -- who can explain the other pieces that are being missed here, such as empathy for end-users -- provides a wider view of why diversity programs exist and why companies consider them critical to success.

If you want to build products exclusively for men, by all means, staff your teams with all men. But bringing a diversity of experience into all levels of a company makes that company's products and engagement experience better for everyone. This is especially true when you're talking about a consumer-focused product (like many of Google's products are).

>> Basically two photons with enough energy to interact via virtual pairs created.

Or could it be that a photon bends space-time as though it had mass, and they simply follow the local curvature and it looks like scattering? Just speculating, because for some purposes photons act like a solid particle with their energy equivalent mass traveling at speed c.
This looks very interesting. I am reading the docs https://pythonhosted.org/joblib/parallel.html#manual-managem... and it looks like it would help a lot (possibly solve the issue). Do you have any experience using this in production?

Ronald A. Howard has quite an interesting take on this situation in a conversation with Harris in the appendix. They both talk about lying as self-defence:

> ... The next level is stealing: Needless to say, if I could steal a weapon from someone who was about to kill me, that would be fine. And if I couldn’t transform the situation as some more enlightened person might—into a real circumstance of teaching—then I would lie. I would use the minimum distortion necessary to get the problem to go away.

> At one end of the spectrum, you can be super-optimistic about people. But let’s face it, there are people who are up to no good in all kinds of ways. I’m not going to abet them in violating other people’s right to be left alone, and I’ll do whatever is necessary to avoid that.
> And hence have discovered GR in the process.

Fascinating to wonder how modern physics community worldview would be different, if GR had gone [empirical anomaly -> new theory], and ended up in the same place rather than [thought experiment -> empirical proof]. (IAN a historian of physics - forgive me if I have that wrong.)

> Alternatively (and more likely) we would have decided the idea simply doesn't work.

I don't think that's true. Consider the Bell Labs guys who won the Nobel Price for Microwave Background Radiation, who were just trying to remove the noise their antenna was receiving.
Yes, there are many options, your friend listed some. I'd start with something simple, just buying a few coins or ICOs and holding them for a while, since you want an investment.
He referenced a paper about it.
That provided enough context for me to deduce that he was talking about the clinical sense.
Forks don't last more than few blocks because the miners won't get paid. But I think GP raises a fair point that if the idea here is that we are broadcasting the current chain to places that have no other connectivity, then you have to trust that broadcast. By definition you don't have access to other peers to check.

So if you imagine blockstream as an attacker, they could broadcast their version of the chain which say doesn't include payments they made on the main chain so that they could "double spend" them in places that rely solely on the satellite for truth.

Or am I missing something?

---

edit: I guess there's no way for blockstream to create blocks at the appropriate difficulty level fast enough, so it would be pretty obvious if they were trying to create their own fork. So I guess this does work..

I'm fairly lazy so rather than make one or two cups of coffee a day, I prefer to make a one-week batch of cold brew at a time. (It's also a pain to manually grind that much coffee at once.) Cold brew is a lot more forgiving about "grind freshness."

I'm considering buying a grinder, but it'll probably be $100-200, and I'm not sure if that's worth the price when the coffee shop will do it for me.
My Google Nexus 6P phone has something like this built-in, I get a warning when the number is ringing that it's a suspected spam call. If I answer, it will ask me to confirm afterwards that it was indeed a Spam call (it always is) allow me to block it in the future.

I'm assuming this is built into the stock Android dialer.

Choice between SVG and Canvas comes down to a balance between performance and interactivity, IMO. It is very easy to attach events and create interactions with a SVG object -- much harder to do that in Canvas (basically, you have to keep track of everything that was drawn). The flipside is, Canvas it effectively a bitmap, doesn't care what the pixels are, so the complexity is a constant regardless of what is drawn. SVG renderers will start to bog down once there are "too many" elements.
It's databases all the way down...
Yes its essential. Because the satellites are moving at orbital velocity, their frame of time is ever so slightly different than ours. To keep accuracy timewise without special and general relativity would be difficult if not impossible without understanding relativity generally. Could we have done GPS without relativity? Maybe, but we'd have to discover it with the satellites to be able to use it.

A quick note from: (i'm too lazy to do the calculations right now)
http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast162/Unit5/gps....

If these effects were not properly taken into account, a navigational fix based on the GPS constellation would be false after only 2 minutes, and errors in global positions would continue to accumulate at a rate of about 10 kilometers each day! The whole system would be utterly worthless for navigation in a very short time.

No, it doesn't help all. You have yet to provide any evidence for your accusation of insider trading (or "something else"). You can't really accuse RT of wrongdoing, just because you don't understand their methodology.

Also -- if I were a quant that managed to beat the market consistently, I would shut up and go straight to RT, for two reasons. To avoid toxic dubious comments like yours, and because RT can pay me better than your standard hedge fund.
