Tax breaks for specific activities are by dentition a subsidy by lowering costs.

If people with blue eyes suddenly did not have to pay taxes then that would be a massive subsidy. If you get a pay check and the taxes are already taken it it's just as much 'your money' as if you got the full paycheck then had to pay taxes after the fact. The point is more money goes out of your paycheck because the US government subsidizes other and often very rich people.

There's precious little detail here.

For example, one test the benchmark runs is x264 – H.264 video encoding where apparently ExaGear is an amazing 9.21 times faster than QEMU.

No frame rate mentioned for either QEMU or ExaGear, and they don't include a comparison to x264 encoding running natively (probably because it would make ExaGear look quite bad).

They also don't mention at all what QEMU options they're using. Maybe they're emulating an x86 in QEMU which lacks SIMD instructions? It's impossible to know without them publishing more information about their test methodology.

Absolutely, simple examples would be automatically wrapping comments to 80 characters, adding the comment sigil on the next line when you press enter, enabling spell checking, turning on syntax highlighting if it detects a docstring, changing the semantics for what qualifies as a word, statement, paragraph/block.
I'm a fan of the continuum team - we have been working together on the GPU GoAI project. We'll load 2M+ edges, and edge bundling helps make that visually useful.

Graphistry is a bit different where the result is a full interactive visual analytics session, not a zoomable png. So you get visual filtering, histogramming, search, etc. Our goal is to get from a lot of data to the answer, including whatever data pivots/cleaning/etc., as fast as possible, and that includes helping analysts skip a lot of the visualization/data coding and instead do direct visual interactions.

Worth stating: Edge bundling is beautiful! It was an early algorithm we implemented. A bit differently, we did it interactively, so you could do things like adjust sliders real-time to get the right physics settings. However, we found you'd want to hover over individual nodes/edges to see what's in them, and "zoomable image" style makes that hard. I've been wanting to bring it back now that we're getting close to supporting dynamic grouping interactions, so cool to see you call it out.
> One takeaway I have from this is that discussion about biological differences between sexes is often misused, so should be avoided in discussion related to diversity if you want people to not form an emotional reaction... I absolutely don't see this memo creating a hostile workplace or illiciting the pushback it has garnered simply by what I read in the text

Right! There's been enough people using biological differences as excuses for all kinds of things before, so it's probably better to resort to that argument only once all other factors have been removed. I believe that's one of the biggest reasons people reacted so badly to this memo. It certainly was the first thing that popped into my head as soon as I started reading his reasoning.

A bit of context is important. Anonymity on the internet has facilitated a rebirth of the "men's rights" movement. Don't get me wrong, there's definitely a place for "men's rights" when it comes to recognizing that sexual abuse happens to men too, which is what some of the groups got started, but some of the notorious forums (like the now banned "TheRedPill" subreddit) are virulently misogynistic. There are people openly defending rape, calling women "inferior" and posting fantasies about what they'd do to women who they perceive as "pushy" or holding some power over them. Feminists are demonized to no end. A lot of the rationalization around their rhetoric builds on some of the same bases Damore used for his "biological argument." I'll leave it to your judgment to decide if Damore giving one of his interviews to Stefan Molyneaux - known men's right activist - has anything to do with that or not.

It's that context that made my internal reader go for the worst possible scenario instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt. I guess I'm way more jaded person than you :)
I guess my point is that intelligent leadership is what's really in demand. :)

And yes, I agree. In most white-collar jobs, intelligence is assumed. It's the non-cognitive skills (let's call it emotional intelligence) that are sorely missing.
Your third source claims that there is evidence of gender gap being due to biological differences that result in different interests. But Damore also made the claim that there is a biological difference in ability. Your source strongly disagrees, saying that "gender differences in math/science ability, achievement, and performance are small or nil." So they agree with some of Damore's memo and were careful to point out that they disagree with his claim about ability. If Damore had been that careful, he might still have a job.

Your fourth source includes one of the scientists who Damore cited. David P Schmitt's take is that "using someone’s biological sex to essentialize an entire group of people’s personality would be like operating with an axe. Not precise enough to do much good, probably will cause a lot of harm."

Hardly "many agree with him". And it bears repeating over and over that cherry-picking science facts (or even the opinion of scientists who agree with you) is not science. It's the same exercise those who believe in chem trails engage in. Let's stop. If you want information about the population Google hires from, do research on that population not the general public. You would be studying the smartest of folks, who are likely to graduate from the elite universities of the world. Studies of biological differences in the general population might have little bearing on the specific population Google hires from.

The change we're discussing here is something that the developer will need to explicitly add to their code;

By marking a touch or wheel listener as passive, the developer is promising the handler won't call preventDefault to disable scrolling.

Shitty developers who are lazy aren't likely to add that to their code if it 'works' without it. They are shitty after all. They won't care about a janky scroll on their webpage. Heck, they probably won't even test different ways of scrolling. Therefore it's fair to think this change is for awesome developers who test things and find that there's a problem, and need a way to fix it.

That was a very detailed article; must have taken months to put together. The crux of the article for me were the actual quotes by southern leaders in several states stating that the civil war was all about slavery and superiority over the "negro slave." That in itself is enough to peacefully remove those icons from government spaces.

"We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.”

“Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery — the greatest material interest of the world.”

“They assume that the negro is equal, and hence conclude that he is entitled to equal privileges and rights with the white man. If their premises were correct, their conclusions would be logical and just but their premise being wrong, their whole argument fails.”

Cornerstone Speech, March 21, 1861

“Our new government is founded upon … the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.”

Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the Confederacy
Cornerstone Speech, March 21, 1861

“A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the States north of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery.”

Let's stop ignoring violence when it suits our own political agenda and start condemning it wherever it occurs. Racism has no place in our society and violent acts only fuel it. Pointing that out doesn't imply someone is "defending white supremacists".
The role of women in Russian society is very complex, but its not accurate to say that Russian women have more choices post-USSR. The best way to understand the situation is Soviet idealism against the reality of longstanding Russian patriarchy. The Soviets were at the forefront of encouraging women to enter the workforce, making abortion legal in 1920, making divorces easier, providing child care, etc. Those policies suffered fits and starts (Stalin rolled back abortion from 1936-1955) but were still in many ways far ahead of Western Europe. Post-USSR the idealistic stuff died out and there was a strong reversion to patriarchy (not to mention per-capita GDP dropped by half and only returned to peak Soviet levels in 2008).

> you seem to be saying that there can be no differences ever, which is so obviously non-intuitive and irrational that I can't believe this would actually be your standpoint

Where did I say that?

The notion that either biology or environment determines everything is outdated, according to one environmental biologist [1]. She says modern research is based on the view that "neurological traits develop over time under the simultaneous influence of epigenetic, genetic and environmental influences. Everything about humans involves both nature and nurture"

That said, it's a huge leap to assume that sex differences can determine whether or not someone is likely to be a good software engineer. You said you didn't read it. Well, Damore wrote this,

"I'm simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership."

"This leads to women generally having a harder time negotiating salary, asking for raises, speaking up, and leading."

He goes on to claim that there is a scientific consensus showing this, however, it's easy to see from his sources that there is no scientific basis for that claim.

Doubly so if, as it often happens, what they were asked to comment on were not the writings themselves in full, but a straw-man summarisation of them by journalists and related pundits (on which everybody seems to argue about).

Information filtering is absolutely a leadership skill. It's the core component of managing, honestly. You don't want your boss to know all of the mistakes that people make, because it's your job as a manager to fix those. If there are structural or systemic problems, yes. But if one of your team members screwed up, you shouldn't be pointing fingers at your subordinates. As an engineering manager, it's your main job to be the crap filter between your executives and your engineers.

This sounds similar to what I saw at a client a few years back. All XML responses from a REST API were inserted into a single VARCHAR(MAX) column (one row per response, but a response could have multiple "records") in a SQL Server database.

All interaction with this was through a byzantine web of XPath expressions using the severely neutered dialect of XQuery that shipped with SQL Server 2008.

Apologies for the mini-rant, your comment appears to have triggered some painful memories.

Before I landed my first job:

- I found AngularJS a few weeks before AngularJS 1.0 came out in 2012. I started using it for pet projects and became a serial user and answerer on the AngularJS google group for a few months. I spent 1-2 hours every day answering questions.

- A few people from that group started a library making AngularJS UI components for Bootstrap CSS, and I helped: https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/. This was what really got me "slightly known" in open source.

- I moved on to making other AngularJS libraries: most known were angular-promise-tracker and angular-mobile-nav (slide transitions for mobile AngularJS apps). And then eventually, because of my experience, I landed my first job on the Ionic Framework team.

Table saws aren't in the same class as cars. Table saws are mostly used by competent people and the injury rate is pretty low. When an accident does happen it only involves a single person and usually requires a few stitches. The cost savings of avoiding a few thousand people needing stitches is not even close to the cost of "modernizing the table saw fleet.". Plus, saws already come with a plethora of safety features (anti-kickback pawls, blade guards, and riving knives), and most serious woodworkers take the safety features off.

In a rational society we would let people make their own choices. We can raise insurance raise rates on people who act dangerously, and disallow frivolous lawsuits from people that circumvent existing safety features. There is no need for the government to regulate table saws that only risk the individual using it.

While passive event listeners are an improvement, they are not a complete solution. It's more like the "least of evils". There is a new set of primitives that is being implemented called IntersectionObserver which solves most of the issues of having to detect when something is in view + they run on a separate thread. So you don't need to do any computations, reading the window size and whatnot magic to detect if an element is inside the window. We are currently using this in prod for our algolia static websites and it has worked very well for the majority of all of our use cases.

Honestly as a self taught dev with no professional experience your repos aren't going to impress anyone, but github activity will.

Put together working projects and deploy them, make it easy for someone to see what you've built. Provide evidence that you are capable of working with external APIs and common frameworks.

I am self taught and landed my first job pretty easy with just a basic portfolio site, and a few FreeCodeCamp projects that were deployed on digital ocean.

I am now involved in hiring with my company and very rarely do I see an impressive repo let alone an active github, but whenever I see someone consistently committing they always end up with an interview and more often than not end up with a position.

I just wish that Vim plug-ins meant that the IDE would actually embed Vim inside the IDE and do some vimscript magic to do integration. Vim plug-ins that just simulate the default Vim keybindings are just sad.
It's different for me, since my company uses a relatively obscure language (Rust, it might not seem obscure if you hang around on HN but most people just look at you quizzically if you bring it up), but contributing to the compiler and having a library that was being used by a reasonably well-known project was very helpful. I think the single biggest factor in me getting hired was a couple of blog posts I made, however. Nothing proves your aptitude for software to a company than having an extended, long-form writeup of your thought process. Even if you're not that great a writer it's extremely useful to have a technically-focussed blog that a prospective employer can read through.

Terminals are, generally, expected to behave like terminals, which brings along a host of legacy compatibility things about how keyboards used to work over the past 40 years. Not saying that’s an excuse, or that they shouldn’t try to, but balancing “sane modern defaults” vs “sane-ish defaults from the 70s that everyone’s used to now” is hard.

EDIT: To elaborate a little… Terminals pre-date arrow keys, which is partly why there are lots of default “movement” keybindings that don’t use them (ctrl-a, ctrl-e, ctrl-b, ctrl-f, ctrl-n, ctrl-p, etc.).

As TFA discusses, this certainly wasn't the case in 2013 when Mr. Ward had his hand destroyed in a high school shop. This technology had already been available for a decade at that point. Anyway the fact that a $400 machine has this feature doesn't mean that big multi-user shops can spend $400 and get it. Cheap table saws are made very cheaply, and are much less useful than $2000-and-up table saws. (More expensive/better built saws also last much longer than cheap saws.) Are there really public schools that wouldn't notice lots of additional spending?
