I'm the original author. I should have mentioned in my post that I've also been consuming very few daily carbs for a few years now. I experience the effects you describe now when I do indulge in a doughnut or the like. It's hard to tell now how much of my even mood is due to quitting caffeine and how much is due to steady insulin levels. I do feel that I benefit from being very cautious about consuming all of the above (caffeine, sugar, carbs).
Mozilla has come a long way. I remember them turning off the nightly 64-bit Windows Firefox build[0], then back on[1] after people complained.

Sorry for the tangent but...

About a year ago I started making my own pizza instead of ordering it in. Not only do a save a lot of money but it is a higher quality product.

It takes about a half hour of prep so I only do it on weekends. I found a quick crust recipe that doesn't require waiting for hours for the dough to rise [1]. The ingredients are just bread flour, yeast, water, salt, olive oil, and sugar.

The toppings and sauce are the most expensive parts. Though I'm sure if I made the sauce from scratch I could shave a dollar but probably not worth the effort.

Tip: buying a jar of yeast is MUCH cheaper than the pre-measured packets that only make one pizza. Those are a rip off. A jar is almost the same price and makes 15 pizzas instead of 1.

ANTLR combines lexical analysis and parsing, flex+bison, into a single tool. To me, ANTLR4 sets the bar pretty high. I'm not opposed to learning a new tool like parser combinators but I'd need an article that showed the differences between ANTLR4 and PCs, showing how it was much easier in PCs rather than it was just 2017.

I'd add that ANTLR has really good documentation.
I don't. I think owners of web servers should be able to selectively choose to respond to requests however they please (so long as they don't violate any e.g. civil rights laws).
I believe there are a number of entrenched players in this space already. They're called "shops".
>>Backup consistency? Free and vastly simplified.

>Snapshots are not backups. If you pretend they are you will loose all your data.

The good thing about snapshots it that you can use them as a consistent base for your backup: If you naively copy files over from a running system, you'll get inconsistent data, but if you copy it over from a snapshot, it'll work without taking the system down.
Gates seems to have put far more thought than most people into how to get the greatest net benefit to humanity from donating large sums of money. For example, he decided early on to fund development of a malaria vaccine, because it would save the greatest number of human lives for the amount of money he was donating.

So if anyone would know the answer to your questions, it would probably be Bill Gates.
I've collected them growing in the wild... yes I mean psilocybin as well as morels, etc.
I can't speak to antioxidants specifically, but this is a pet peeve of mine as well.

My girlfriend can attest to my going on tirades when a miscellaneous holistic "health expert" shows up on morning talk shows to inform daytime tv viewers that if they put an onion under their bed and only eat foods that don't contain the colour white that they'll reduce the "toxins" in their house and their body. (fictional example) Those mysterious boogeyman toxins... gotta reduce those toxins. Oh and you're selling a supplement that will take care of all of that for me so that I don't have to walk my pocketful of okra around the block three times before soaking it in a bath of cold milk I must change every day if I want to stay healthy.

I'll stop now, but I could go on...
I can't see this working for me now, but if I was retired I'd jump at this.
Let's not also forget that lots of projects people are using Phoenix for are APIs (either for mobile apps or single page web applications). Because of that, it makes sense to glue together smaller libs to match your house style for how you want that auth contract to work.

How many dual_ec_drbg do we need before we stop trusting those people ?
It's for a similar reason, lets assume you are working on a 30~ minute task and you order food that will also arrive in 30 minutes.

For the next 20 minutes you work extremely hard and finish your task, and you are now suddenly EXTREMELY hungry. Your brain being a normal brain makes the logical jump "my task took 30 minutes, food must be here soon" checking your position re-assures your brain that you just worked quickly.

There are other reasons [ie: I have a 10 minute task, check to see if that can be finished before delivery] but I agree they don't add anything
When are we going to reach the point that home theaters -- as in, covering your entire living room wall -- become economical? That's my dream.
Mindfulness is actually selective focus, so if caffeine helped it then it supports my "anecdote". Caffeine doesn't make life move quicker, it doesn't stop you from enjoying the moment, etc.

In conversations like these too often people promote a quick fix type of thing. "I stopped {X} and gained {Y}!", when really there was no causative relationship, and {X} was just a one of many lifestyle changes.
The argument that langsec.org makes is that any such languages are missing security properties. In fact they regard most ad-hoc languages as insecure due to the lack of verification, which they believe to be the root cause of many security problems.
When my credit card got stolen last week, Moviepass was one of the items purchased with it.
All these things are open research questions; there's no roadmap to curing these things, there's a bunch of promising experiments that may or may not pan out. IIRC getting a new drug candidate through the full trial process costs maybe $1B for those that get as far as stage 3 trials (the final stage; most candidates will fail out earlier; conversely if a drug passes earlier trials there will probably be people willing to invest in return for a share of future profits, so you don't necessarily have to fund the full $1B yourself), but there's simply no way to know how many candidates you're gonna have to try to get one that works.
I think the 7 points Scott outlined are fantastic, and I absolutely agree with him.

This sounds a bit strange to write, but I think Scott, and a lot of people here and on the web, are almost thinking too logically and critically about all this. I have no problem with what they are doing, but I also don't think it is a very effective technique.

Like it or not, this women in tech issue is in the domain of politics, and it will remain there. I see a whole bunch of really smart people applying the same problem solving skills they use in their daily engineering work to this problem. They try to rely on strict evidence, and proof and debate. And There's nothing wrong with that at all, but it isn't very effective in the political domain. It takes certain skills and lots of practice to correctly communicate with this type of purely logical debate. A ten page paper read by someone without these skills is very likely to be misunderstood. And that's exactly what happened. I wish that wasn't the case, but that's not the world we live in.

If you are trying to persuade, you need to know your audience. In cases like this, your audience is not just your fellow tech community, but a large percentage of the entire world! It is people who won't follow your carefully constructed arguments. James Damore's critical mistake is that seemed totally ignorant to this point. The people reading his paper were not just going to be fellow googlers who had the skills to take his arguments at face value, it was everyone. You need to be aware of this when dealing in politics.

They’re not saying “Nazis aren’t bad”, they’re saying “these guys with swastikas and Nazi symbols holding guns and shouting Nazi slogans are actually political moderates and true Americans”.

Well, that's the problem with the status quo, that wouldn't be the problem if universities switched to an income sharing strategy as proposed. I was assuming we were talking about "unprofitable"-but-valuable majors in a world in which income sharing has been implemented

I found stand-ups problematic.

Often they are introduced, because...

...some higher ups have the feeling things aren't going their way.

OR

...some people aren't available for questions somehow and you want to pin them down for at least 10min a day to get some information out of them.

In both cases the stand-up is just a band-aid for deeper issues like missing or broken processes, Miscommunication or simple that no-one cares enough to talk to each other anymore.
This is amazing. Blender truly has infinite potential.
female participation in the tech industry grew until the mid 80s where it peaked and has been going downhill ever since

I'm fairly certain that the aggregation of jobs described as "tech industry" in this statistic are a rather different collection of jobs pre-mid 80s and post-mid 80s. Not necessarily because of people massaging a statistic(but many people no doubt would be happy to overlook the previous supposition in making a case,) but because the nature of most jobs in computing has changed with the advent of personal computers. In the punch card era many "tech jobs" were more secretarial/office management/accountancy roles, nowadays with the explosion of computing devices there are many more software development and hardware engineering roles.

Engineering, broadly speaking can be seen as a "tech job," was there ever a time that the various fields of engineering weren't male heavy?

With that said, if you look at the tech industry

What about other industries with even more skewed sex ratios but fewer or no high-profile articles about sexual harassment, what's the cause in those industries?

the constant stream of reports of sexual harassment and sexist treatment from women that actually work in the industry is a pretty big clue that this industry, maybe, just maybe, has a problem with the way it treats women

Has anyone put to an analysis that these sort of events occur more frequently in the tech industry, rather than the tech industry is high profile and thus these events get more attention?
Bill Gates puts just as much effort into making sure his charitable endeavors are using their funds efficiently as he did in making sure Microsoft spent wisely.

So in general I think your fears may be well founded, but I don't believe so in the case of Bill Gates donations.
I've found more interesting indie games than ever before, there's a Golden Age in television going on, and while I enjoy a good popcorn Marvel movie there's plenty of original thinky stuff like Interstellar to whet my appetite.
Yeah it works quite well.
As usual, the biggest problems are with video and mics in meeting rooms with bad acoustics.

Wonderful, but its the state or Arizona taking the tax and regulatory hit to build that factory, which compliments the two existing ones Intel has. President Trump's credit for this deal is the usual meaningless ass-kissing presidents get, but ultimately its Arizona that made that happen the same way Arizona made the previous plants happen. Also this it to finish a factory thats been in the building stages during the Obama administration.

>In fact, the factory, which was originally announced back in 2011 and largely completed by 2014 was put on hold not because of regulatory burden, but because of declining PC sales

Being on the manufacturing council doesn't affect this nor did it make it happen. The council as a "jobs creator" is laughable especially when we're talking about an Obama-era factory.

You're not wrong, but your logic is flawed - things are happening now that have never happened before, like New Automation, that are massive game-changers. This means that things that have never worked before, will start working.

There's some interesting ideas in the paper, the researcher has done good work in this area before.
To try and correct for built-in bias by setting a goal is a reasonable response. Its self-serving to say "Hey! Sure men have all the jobs, but to give any to women is to hurt me! That's just as bad!"

What if women actually deserved 80% of the jobs, by skill and temperament? Then the 50% goal is way under reality.

I'd like to see passive processes produce an equitable result too. But in the mean time, the car is pulling to the left, so I steer slightly right to compensate. Its a reasonable short-term response. Lesser of evils.
> Now you're going to have to figure out how to position BLM versus the Neo Nazis.

Do I? I just know people are outgrouping and arguing through violence and I'm opposed to that regardless or what policy changes they feel are appropriate.

I don't feel the need to judge that political violence is worse in one case than in another case.
What it literally says isn't important- what is important is that it represents GS acknowledging crypto as an asset class in a non-dismissive way
I think you're making a big assumption that you'll be accepted - anecdotally I've heard that they turn away many people who meet their basic acceptance criteria unless those people have a large amount of industry experience. As a result, it's pretty apples to oranges - if you can get into GT's OMSCS you don't need Lambda School, because you're already in the field.

Yes it can, which is why using a flat pretax minimum is absolutely silly. $50k in Seattle isn't living confortably, but with your cut it's $41.5k. That's less than a bank teller makes.

You should have a COL adjusted minimum. Otherwise you'll only be targeting rural areas where most jobs aren't.
Tech firm fighting a federal order for data on visitors to an anti-Trump website
Agreed, we use geekbot as well. Our team is very distributed and asynchronous and it makes figuring out what everyone is up to and who needs a hand pretty easy. Also it helps going back through the channel to figure out what I was working on all week.
Generically ownership is simply who has a reference to the object.

So if a.foo = b, then a 'owns' b. A 'move' is simply handing a different object the reference, then dropping your own reference. For example:

a.foo = b // a 'owns' b
c.foo = a.foo // a & c share b, however if the next line is:
a.foo = None // a has 'moved' b to c, since c now has the only reference to b.

Some languages have codified this to make the contract part of the language, but it doesn't need any first-class language support. It's just a pattern at the end of the day.
> Even if all you say is true and the guy is an odious anti-feminist, the points he made should be debated and refuted, not silenced.

Why? Why should everyone debate ideas which are made up by biased sources[1]? Should we also discuss why people from country X are more intelligent than people of race Y who immigrated from continent Z? Sorry, but not all ideas are gold.

> Many tech guys are waking up to the farcical, oppressive way in which some leftists spread their ideas and silence their opponents, and won't stand for it any longer.

At least it is fine till "leftists" are spreading ideas for peace, tolerance, and harmony, right? They are not calling for people of race/religion/country/sex X to leave country Y, right?

Its important to understand, when anyone says "cure cancer", they are saying cure 100+ (mostly) unique diseases. $20Bn is not even close, try around 200Bn and 50+ years of research.

Maybe we will get lucky and find an amazing immuno-oncology drug that takes out half of them in the next 20 years, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I actually made a chrome ext that uses im2txt to help blind/partially sighted individuals get scene descriptions for images. Perhaps that can make up for the fact that a lot of devs don't take the time to write alt tags for their images.

You have trained your brain to think about programming in a certain way. Haskell does things largely differently built on a set of completely different fundamentals and abstractions. For most of my non-CS friends taking a CS class in college: using a loop or basic recursion was a daunting task for them.

New ideas and abstractions require concentrated effort. I find it easy to forget the harder concepts I needed to grasp as I was learning programming (back when I was 11-12), but it's quite an important thing to remember while trying to understand something as different as Haskell.
I think it was different bias where one paraphrased the past incorrectly, I do it all the time.

It was probably more along the lines of, "Making your bed and lying in it" or "When you poke the lion ten times, expect to get bit"

When someone trots out crimes of the left, it smells like "and you too!" that somehow the Right, which has the rule of force as their platform gets a pass with 1:100 ratios.
If you want to shovel bytes around in memory (or more likely, the memory model provided by your OS) that's your perogative, but there's nothing necessarily clever or contorted about relegating the responsibility of memory-management to your dependencies (including the compiler). Avoiding for loops is mainstream today, with your stream APIs, map/reduce, LINQ and what have you.

Loops are (in the general case) hard to reason about and provide few run-time guarantees. Predicate transformers with recurrence-relations are mostly intractable and a giant PITA. Variable assignment (or register overwrites) are hard to reason about, and loops (well... single entry/exit in lieu of goto, but whatever) were introduced to make it easier on the minds eye to follow the evaluation of programs and still they fail regularily.

Looping is not a simple task, it has real externalities wrt. program correctness (however you define it) and programming languages are providing more and more tools to avoid them and provide more run-time guarantees.

But to be fair, there's no going back. Automation means we don't actually need people to do huge numbers of things. Those displaced people may never have a job again.

And this position conflates free speech with consequence free speech.

You have the right in the US to openly be a Nazi. I also have the right to call you a fucking Nazi for it. I am also free to remind you what the US did to Nazis in WW2 and in the Nürnberg trials. And I can remind you that anyone that thinks that the US did the wrong thing back then, well, is a Nazi enabler.

So, you see, if you join a club that calls for the extermination of whole races - you yourself should live with the consequences of that decision. Unlike being black, gay, etc being a Nazi is a choice. You choose to try to send women and children into gas chambers.

So FUCK Nazis. Punch em, hunt them, kill them. Just like ISIS and Al-Quaeda. Same forever alone squad of men who can't get any.
So far I believe cryptocurrency is one of, if the not the most, uncorrelated asset class.

I don’t understand that. Democrats today fight for civil rights for minorities. Surely you can’t argue against that. It’s part of the core platform. Democrats of the 1860s fought to keep black people enslaved. You yourself said this.

So with those two statements, how can you then argue that the positions have not flipped? How does that even reconcile in your mind?
