>Because women can achieve at the same level as men? I thought it was pretty obvious.

No one would find it weird if I claimed that women aren't able to run a 100 as fast as men. Yes, there might be some exceptional cases where women can compete, but they are just that, exceptions to the rule. Most of the time women compete among themselves since they would never qualify for anything if they competed in the same category as men.

Why is it unacceptable to make the same observation about intellectual endeavors, or programming specifically?

You claim that women can achieve at the same level as men. Let's assume they can for now. However, your gripe is with the under-representation of women at tech companies. So that claim doesn't really help you, you would need to show that women perform as well as men on average. Can you?
This London street is a model of diversity that we can all learn from
Thanks for doing your best.

The gist of the question was that if you follow that link you can see that it is the case that most jobs have a sex ratio that is far off from 50/50, jobs with a ratio closer to 50/50 are the exception rather than the rule. I don't think this is a problem, or "problematic" as the kids like to say. I think this is just the way things are. You can learn a lot about the world just by looking.

The interesting thing that I raised in the question above is that some people do think these divergent sex ratios are "a problem," well sort of, the interesting thing is that they think in only a narrow selection of occupations is this a problem, totally ignoring that there is nothing particularly unusual about a divergent sex ratio for a given job. This may not be the case for you, but for the vast majority of problem addicts it is a very narrow focus on just a few occupations, totally ignoring the fact that it is a totally natural and normal thing.

It's like saying that something broadly true about the world is a problem. I can see the Vox headline now, Asians like rice, that's a problem

I don't like this constant grievance mongering worldview where everything is looked at through this lens of who has a "disadvantage" what is "problematic," why can't we just accept the world as it is? The people constantly going out and raising a ruckus about this or that issue would do far more good for the world by simply putting their own lives in order first.

I distinctly remember a benchmark (which my google-fu is currently unable to find) between Intel chips with and without the Iris chip. On similar conditions (clock base/turbo and core count), the Iris chip had about a 20% performance advantage.

It wasn't explained in the benchmark, but the only reason I could imagine was the Iris chip worked as an L4 cache because the benchmark was not doing graphics stuff. That is what the Iris chip does, it sits right there in the socket with a whole bunch of memory available for the iGPU or work as L4 cache if available.

It's also a great way to do (almost) zero cost transfers from main memory to (i)GPU memory -- you'd do it at the latency of the L3/L4 boundary. With intel, that unlocks a few GFLOPs of processing power -- in theory, your code would have to be adapted to work this in a reasonable way, of course.

To sum things up, I agree with you, memory is a path that holds big speedups for processors. Don't know if "the Iris way" is the best path, but it indeed showed promise. Shame that Intel decided to lock it up for the ultrabook processors mostly.
Currently developing a different take on this same concept, but using hand-modeled voxel shapes in place of sprites.

Haven't posted any significant updates in a while but progress is steady; just added cell-shading outlines to sprites that require it (can't translate black outlines into voxels otherwise) and improving the render pipeline to accommodate it.

So, as long as we're talking about Charlottesville, you support their right to say it outside synagogues and black churches, without a municipal demonstration permit, while dressed in fatigues and pointing guns at the building?
I don't understand all this need for backward compatibility. Most of the web is rotting anyway. When can we just wrap it up, say ad acta, name it "web 1.0" (congratulate everyone) and put it away? Lessons learned. No more updates to browsers, html, css or js, not even bug fixes. Just document everything and live with it for existing sites. And then we can work on a tabula rasa, clean new technologies, this time with some thought put into it. This probably means not letting MS or Brendan anywhere near.

And what do you say about a person that ignores 90% of racism and sexism unless it harms white men?

The world is full of little biases. Ideally we'd get rid of all of them. But until someone invents a magic button we need to keep context in mind. Give charity to the people that have been mistreated and need charity, etc.
Using data to figure out traffic
extremely debatable. In the US, almost no national infrastructure was built through private means (though often privatised later). Private healthcare has been a disaster at maintaining a healthy public. An insistence on having government work happen through public contractors has generated massive conflicts of interests and made us end up with the most expensive infrastructure building process in the world.

Just because the Soviet Union fell over doesn't mean that capitalism has somehow been proven to be "the best solution".
I get what you saying, this is really a problem for this field. When I started college in 1990, I had spent a lot of time programming and playing around with a commodore 64. Computer science was the 'easy' option for me, so that's what I did. After a semester of observing the types of arrogant people I had classes with, I decided, I don't want to work with people like this for the rest of my life. So I changed my major to another science and graduated. The problem was, there were very few jobs in that field, so I took a job doing something else. I spent years coding on the side, and finally got a programming job, and then a BS in CS.

I've often reflected on where this arrogance comes from. My personal theory is that a lot of people, when they show an ability to work with computers, get a lot of positive attention from those around them because most people don't have the patience or inclination to understand machines so well. I think for some this leads them down the path of really building their identity around what they can do. And when you deeply identify with something like that, it becomes very personal.

This isn't true of everyone, you can have passion without being arrogant, but it is quite common I believe.

Another factor is probably the perceived competition for jobs and promotions. Many think that to reach the next level, or get the six figure salary, they have to out compete others. And this is true, to a point, as the technical coding interview shows.

Edit; something related is the 'tribalism' around languages and frameworks, frontend vs backend, os's etc. When you're just starting out, it's easy to become invested in whatever technology you learned first. You'll write a lot of code and become really accustomed to the tools, libraries, building and deploying. It's only when people branch out and spend a lot of time with other languages and frameworks do they start to see the commonality between them. There's been a lot of convergent evolution over recent years imo. I find that people who understand the basics (http request/response for example) are much more adept at debugging, trouble shooting, and jumping between languages and frameworks.

>The Democratic vice-mayor of Charlottesville has publicly said he hates white people.

Ok. How many white people have been beaten by police under his vile, racist vice-regime?

Oh. Zero, you say?

How many white people have had guns pointed at them by Black Panthers under his vile, racist vice-regime?

Oh. Zero, you say?

Then I think there's a difference. One side says mean things on Twitter, the other side infiltrates police departments and burns down churches.
блат (blaht) means "nepotism", but used in a much more widespread way, to refer not just to jobs obtained through relations and connections, but also buying things you normally can't get in stores, getting invitations to selective summer caps for kids, etc. etc.

In the Soviet Union, things were typically inexpensive but unobtainable. So for example if you wanted a fully automatic washing machine that didn't break down after a few months, the problem wasn't that you couldn't afford it, the problem was that too few of them were imported or produced compared to the number of people who wanted them. In theory, these fancy washing machines went straight from producer/importer to distribution centers and then to regular stores to be bought by regular people. In practice, every chain in the distribution link was highly corrupt, and desirable items never reached regular stores (or, in some cases they did, but the knowledge of when exactly and in what store they'll be giving out something "good" was by itself desirable). Everybody worked intensely at cultivating connections with the right kind of people who were gatekeepers in some distribution chains, or officials in charge of those chains. Now repeat that for every kind of expensive item: furniture, cars, good clothes, shoes, some kinds of high-quality food (from caviar down to sausage), getting your kids into a good school, summer camps, vacation packages, a work trip abroad... all could be and were obtained through nepotism.

And thus some groups will always be looked at, internally and externally, as having the benefit of a better playing field. Perhaps that cost is worth it, but we shouldn't blame the ones pointing out the cost as if they were the source of it.
Is that about Charlottesville?
I've had to deal with Hetzner and IPFS too -- my conclusion is that it's Hetzner who are aggressive here. In of the cases I had fixed the dialing-local-networks behaviour, and then Hetzner still continued to block the server for about a week. They blocked it on 25-Dec and released it on 31-Dec.

Some really cool information, but this concluding bit annoyed me:

> By Moore’s law, we will reach computing power of human brain by 2025 and all of the humanity by 2050.

Their graph does show exponential growth, but the data points cut off at the year 2000. Not surprising, given that Moore's law has reached its end in the last decade. ML improvements now depend upon better algorithms to make them more parallel, and the economies of scale which make more parallel computation units available. I don't think we're anywhere near that exponential graph, however, and we'll keep getting further from it.

Perhaps quantum computing will become a widespread reality and blow the field open, but I'm not holding my breath that it will happen in the next few decades.
Although a nice idea in principle I think you'll just end up with horribly convoluted and hacky if/else logic throughout your code - much like the era of nasty IE6 kludges.

Thanks for getting back to me. It sounds a bit geared towards people who have enough experience to know what to ask, so I'm not sure if this is something I would recommend to someone coming from a completely different field. Would that be an accurate assessment of the learning style?

Also, I'm still unsure about what tools will be used as part of the lectures. If it's really just screencasting + chat, I can't believe that the material will be conveyed all that well. At least as evidenced by how prepared your instructors seemed in the Archive videos. Sorry if it's a bit harsh, but my expectations are a bit high since I'm coming from a background that includes 5 years of teaching ESL.
The insane thing about this app is it still allows some numbers through that they have identified as "severe threats". So AT&T are allowing known severe threats to go through.

The app works pretty well most of the time. I just can't wrap my head around this decision unless maybe there is lag between their identification of a number as a threat and their ability to block it.

You can use something like `transform:translateZ(0px)` to force a subsection of the dom to exist on its own rendering layer. Then you can transform the parent nodes and they'll move the lower layer around as if it were a static picture that they don't need to redraw. I'm not sure how well this works within an svg, but you can certainly use it to do your transformations outside the svg.
> On another side note, more companies broadcasting the blockchain and covering more of the planet (the real time map shows Asia as not covered) will eventually put the "block propagation delay" argument in the tomb, for those arguing against big blocks.

Um, no.

First of all the limiter needs to be the decentralized internet p2p relay, since even a federation of satellite broadcasting companies is unacceptable. This is adversarial engineering where you design to operate in the worst case.

Second, it is validation of a block that matters, not mere receipt of the header. So how long it takes to transmit a block over the low bandwidth connection such a satellite provides, plus the time to validate CAN be significant as you increase the blocksize beyond the current 4MB.
Yes, we can conclude that structural discrimination of women in law and medical students has largely gone away. Why does anyone think that STEM subjects would somehow retained such discrimination?

I consider it more likely that now women do what they want to do. And that is in many ways a good thing.
I was not sarcastic. Studies like http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/file/49318d3f56c1d525aabf7fda78b23... have shown that 5% of nodes with a regular internet connection still haven't received the block after 40 seconds; and the median time is around 13 seconds. The sat latency at 1-2 seconds is much lower and would hugely improve block propagation delays.

Edit: a second paper (2016) has similar findings: 10% of nodes haven't received the block after 79 seconds: http://fc16.ifca.ai/bitcoin/papers/CDE+16.pdf

Project Manager - Writes specs and documentation for individual features.

Product Manager - Figures out what new features or changes the product needs to better fit or find a new audience. Usually responsible for doing market research and analysis.

Business Product Owner - Similar to product manager, they own all changes associated with a company product. Position should only exist if product is so large, multiple product managers are needed for it. The product managers would then need to report to or clear their work past this individual.

Program Manager - Everyone above reports to this person. They own all of the products. And possibly oversee development as well.
I believe centrists and conservatives argue exactly that, all the time.
I'm a produce buyer for a small grocery in Maine. We focus on local vegetables, but also buy produce from the national supply chain.

We work with a broker at the Chelsea produce market in Chelsea, MA. Twice a week, I email him an order for the produce we need from the national market, specifying details about each product (size, grower, production region). He uses his knowledge and relationships to buy the best product he can, from the large wholesalers there. The market has around 240 dock bays, and is open from 2 am to noon. We send a truck down to arrive at 8 am, and pickup the produce from the wholesalers where our broker ordered.

The overall produce market is structured into growers, that grow and harvest the crops. Packers, that purchase crops from the growers, wash, cool and pack them, and shippers, that purchase from packers. The wholesalers in Boston purchase from shippers, and sell to regional retail and wholesale customers. Many companies are vertically integrated, and own multiple links in this chain. Larger groceries and supermarkets either negotiate directly with the packers, or the wholesalers at the Chelsea market. A large store can commit to buying on a large enough scale to drive their retail price below what I can pay wholesale during the peak season for a commodity.

The subscriber end...and the goddamn Internet backbone. You can't route multicast across the core, which is a huge impediment to its adoption.

No, it doesn't. Remember that the mass of a particle is just an average: energy and time are linked by the uncertainty principle as position and momentum are, thus decaying particles (pretty much all of them) do not have a sharply defined mass.

Is being patronising a marketing tactic, or were the "Joy Makers" just not briefed on how to speak to journalists about their competition?
