While that would be a nice narrative, I don't think it matches reality. If it did, the people outraged by apparent sexism would be trying to educate the sexists instead of getting them fired.

Certainly such people exist, but they're drowned out by the outrage machine that's trying to take away their livelihood.

Also, you can countersue Facebook as long as you don't sue over patents you have on React. You also can't sue others over patents on React (without losing the grant).

Also more importantly, the conditions don't apply to the BSD license. The patent grant is a separate patent license on top of the copyright license. The license the patent grant refers to is the patent grant itself.

At this time I think there shouldn't be single threaded languages (I'm not sure which ones you're thinking about since it's mostly about libs and OS primitives). Even Python is multithreaded (even if the GIL makes it better to just use multiprocess), I'd say if you're after 10% improvements - the level those kind of CPU upgrades can offer on single thread, you'd better change languages if you're stuck to single thread. If your problem is difficult to parallelize, well that's another story.
The Turbo/base ratio is getting interesting. The previous generation saw a 1.6x Turbo max but this generation now sees 2.2x -- a clear testimony how the four cores, alas, are for show. Obviously there will be a little improvement but I wouldn't expect earth shattering results.
Ugh, yes, so I did, though that was less about software deployment.
I think that would be correct for the Desktop, but in laptops the turbo clock normally(?) does not work for a sufficient long time to give it any meaning.
I'm not sure that distinction is clear. For example, in AWS Lambda, you still have issues like functions being "warm" or not, and people write code specifically to handle that. Meanwhile, nowadays you can acquire and configure even dedicated machines using just code.

Hate does not "depends on your position". Hate is an emotional state, and it's the same for everybody.

The symptoms of hate "depends on your position". So called "hate speeches" depends a lot of your position. But they are not hate. Actually, a lot of the things that are censored because they are categorized as hate are just inconvenient for some people, but nowhere near hate. As usual, words are used and distorted to serve agendas.

You can recognize hate across cultures, across symptoms, because as a human being, you learned to detect the clues that hint some hate behind some behavior. It's not perfect, but the thing is hate is rarely subtle, and quite explanatory in its effects.

Hate also always root in unhappiness. And symptoms of happiness are something you can learn to detect as well.

So yes, while you can't have an objective way to measure hate, you can approximate the way human evaluate it by measuring the context of happiness and assess symptoms, on a global + local scale. I may very well give you a good picture of hate.
If what you say is true then I think our tool chains are failing us.

My React project has 1,015 dependencies (directories in node_modules). If I didn't have locked versions then every minor automatic update could bring in more dependencies without me knowing.

Let's phrase it this way: what do you gain from pretending the PATENTS file isn't legally binding?

The BSD license contains no patent grant. You'd be on very thin ice expecting a court to rule that the BSD copyright license also implies a patent grant. And in this specific case that defense would likely never hold because the PATENTS file even if it weren't binding would signal the intent.
Did you read my post? I was saying that perhaps she is indeed solely motivated by money. Turning down easy money in the chance to strike it big from the civil suit. If you only see the first part, then she apparently isn't motivated by money. But with the second part it becomes a possibility again.
You get four cores at less than half speed. Sort of think, can you just get 2 cores at 4/5th speed and it would be able the same?

Very strange scaling this chip has.
I don't think the particular issue is with deciding what hate is. Your example said that the AI would understand all of those as hate, and I think it would be correct. The issue is that humans have this idea that there are justified forms of hate, and whether that hate is considered justified depends on the time and place in history, as such, it is necessary to also have a lot of seemingly irrelevant data to make the decision.

This ties in quite well to the idea that a society can only be understood through an analysis of its history - that is, what has happened in order to lead it up until this point, and that men are largely (though as Marx notes not completely) products of their time; this view is known as historicism.

I see that science-types (my apologies if this is offensive to some) tend to see society as merely thousands of one-off interactions between people, occuring here and there, the only difference being what each individual in the transaction brings to the table. I think that in this context of hate especially, this is too reductionist and insufficient.

Similarly, what ought to be tolerated in a society? Should intolerance, which threatens to bring down the tolerant society, be tolerated? How about the subversive element which attempts to move for the liberation of peoples? Arguably a democracy should have a right to subvert itself, if the power is truly vested in the people. As Marcuse said, through mass media the expression of this subversive element is being blocked, and it may require apparently un-democratic means to open.

Is self-employment really so much riskier than sequential employment? With the latter if you're laid off you instantly lose all your income. As a self-employed consultant / freelancer if you lose a customer who quite likely still have other customers, which mitigates the overall risk.

In London it's more like 600-700 for good quality places in a co-working space (Wework or similar), up to 1k+ for particularly central locations. But then if you can afford the salaries here, the 300-400/month increase per team member compared to a desk in a co-working space doesn't need to cause a particularly big performance bump to be worth it.

I would agree with the rejection of shame and guilt, they can certainly catalyze action but that action usually carries a strong element of self-sabotage along with it.

> Intel’s big aim with the new processors is, as always, to tackle the growing market of 3-5+ year old devices still being used today, quoting better performance, a better user experience, longer battery life, and fundamentally new experiences when using newer hardware. Two years ago Intel quoted 300 million units fit into this 3-5+ year window; now that number is 450 million.

Yep, Intel's problem is that most folks don't need a new CPU, especially for a computer that's always plugged in.

I'm refurbishing a 6-year-old system with a Pentium E5800 for a friend, and initially it felt dog slow. However, once I swapped the mechanical hard drive with a solid state disk, it instantly feat like a zippy little machine.

> treating your coworkers and customers with respect and empathy

This can be as subjective as the word professionalism. People always use their own value judgement in these things - whether it's deciding if something is professional, or not, or if something is respectful, or not.

Sometimes, you do have to just follow rules, for the sake of it, because there is no standard in personal value.
Could you provide a source please? Interested to read about it!

I think the point of the article is that the Model 3 is aimed at a considerably larger market of people who might not have the same budget to support the repair costs of a purely electronic car when something goes wrong; the Model S is mostly owned by people with considerably deeper pockets.

She couldn't prove sexism in court. Twice now.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pao_v._Kleiner_Perkins

Why would you defend false allegations by Pao? They hurt women that actually do experience it. They also give more evidence to the fact that women do use the system to get rich quick by suing in hopes of getting a massive settlement.

She should be condemned and her claims should not be used to demonstrate sexism, which is what you're trying to do.
Isn't this just new-speak for "advert"? Or product placement, or something?

Using a communication channel to sell a product, seems like advertising to me.
If you didn't have the patent grant, then the default position would be that Facebook could take legal action against you if your use of React infringed any relevant patent they hold, whether you had sued them first or not.

Ignoring (wilfully or otherwise) the PATENTS file doesn't make you any better off.
> CS was a third women in the mid 1980s, dropping to under 20% today

This is a profoundly misunderstood statistic.

1. Programming in those early days was considered more secretarial work,

2. the greater sexism in other jobs made CS more palatable, ie. women took what jobs they could, not necessarily the ones they wanted; this same trend is why Iran and other oppressive countries have such high female enrollment in STEM

3. Female enrollment gained slowly, but male STEM enrollment sky rocketed in the 80s. You can't point to a huge spurt of interest among men and use that to say that obviously those men somehow prevented the same growth in interest among women. There are clearly other factors in play.

All of this and more is fully documented by Scott Alexander: http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/07/contra-grant-on-exagger...

I wish it was. Since our management decided to test the open office/hot desk layout, we mostly deal with docking station issues non-stop.

Most of our equipment is Dell, and those docking station connectors seems to be even more fragile now. I guess (and hope) this will get better when all our laptops will support USB-C docking station..
I wonder how much of this was brought on by the Cold War and constant headlines of one-ups-manship by nation-states and maybe that sub-consciously fed into US culture.

The only reference points and influences people had were socializing with others and 3 TV channels. No internet, facebook, instagram or twitter.

In todays culture you can find nearly any group you want to associate with online. You won't feel like an outcast and if you live in a populated enough area you can probably find like-minded people. I think with this available, if you see your neighbors have new fine china (new fancy car, or whatever) and that isn't your thing, you pretty much don't care.
She just realises that the issue she was against was well over her power, and the woman she was speaking to was even more powerless than her.

Yes it's riskier. If I'm laid off it only takes weeks to find a new position. If my business goes under, I'm likeley burnt out and have just lost not only my income but my life savings as well.
Have you watched Wargames? The only winning move is not to play.

If you have code, you're at risk of being sued over software patents. In the end if you do get sued it likely won't be Google or Facebook, it will be some patent troll you've never heard of that randomly extorts companies into bankruptcy and can't be countersued because they're a non-practicing entity (i.e. they don't have code).

Maybe Facebook has patents for React. Maybe Facebook has patents for other libraries. Maybe other companies have patents for React. You won't find out until it's too late, so stop worrying.

I didn't mean to imply people are surprised. They have made the decision regardless of the amount of notice.
I think what the author was getting at was things being unnecessarily electronic, such as door locks or even the glovebox (seriously, why do we need a push-button to open that?). Manual, mechanical devices are fairly reliable and if they fail, you can poke a screwdriver into the mechanism to get around the issue. Now imagine a bad firmware upgrade breaks the glovebox button on your Model 3 and your AAA card is in there...
> 1) which patents Facebook holds and

> 2) which patents are relevant to each framework/library (i.e. React and various its alternatives)

Facebook needs to come out and give us these answers. There are two scenarios:

1) They have "secret" patents, and the reason they hoard them is to use them as offense when being sued, forcing the suing party (whether "meritless" or meritful) significant monetary loss to rewrite their software with the goal of killing the suit, or,

2) They do not have any patents pertaining to the technology, and so if this is the case, why is the patents clause even present? Why all this hush-hush and incredible resistance to change?

It's dodgy as heck. From Facebook's POV of 1, it's fantastic, but _only to Facebook_ - that's why it's there, it's great strategy. For everybody else? Not so much. Either way, they are being immoral and unethical, especially towards their foundations (free and open source software) and user community and ultimately leads to fragmentation as people try to escape the clause (see Preact, Inferno, et al).
They lowered the base clock speed, yes. That's the minimum clock you can count on, assuming a correctly designed laptop, even if all four cores are going flat out.

In practice, the clock is set to limit power usage and thermal load. A better-cooled system will automatically run faster (not really applicable to laptops), and if you're only using a single thread then you'll see the same clock rate you did before, or a bit above.
Just a side note; what you're saying is true (as in RTS vs FPS) if in general if I'm just attack moving my army into yours and then ignoring it.

But if I'm micro-ing for example my single marine vs your single zergling then latency is just as important as in any FPS. The interesting part with RTS for me is that a person can only control so many entities, so only 'touched' entities need real-time syncing, if its for example off-screen a server simulation can just tell you the results afterward.

That seems doubtful.

And that's a real and potentially serious problem, because IP laws typically don't contain any exemptions for code you're using that infringes someone's IP rights just because it was contributed by a third party.
"the gross/creepy sausage-factory that is many IT shops"

Not sure the sexism is where you think it is.

"How do you think that is going to go when a woman joins his team and it's time to take down the porno wallpaper?"

I think you have not worked in a lot of IT shops. Never saw any porno items in there. Only shop I've seen porno wallpapers was in an auto parts warehouse and only in the male changing room.
I think the only thing here that would concern me is the (apparent) lack of a mechanical door opener. If there is a critical failure in the electronics and you have an urgent requirement to exit the vehicle, that seems like a dangerous thing to me. That's assuming there actually isn't a mechanical door latch release.

I've been in tech for close to 20 years now. I get paid pretty well compared to the national average pay, and globally speaking it's off the charts.

But the figures and activities mentioned there are completely alien to me. This is the (a?) world of high finance and I can't relate to it.

I've seen a lot of casual and systemic sexism in the tech industry, in the trenches and at the coal face so to speak. I think it's often this that is the focus of criticism of the industry as a whole, and I think it's this that's a valid criticism of the tech industry.

To be absolutely clear - From what I've read here, Ellen Pao was treated really, really badly and has a whole litany of valid complaints, I just don't recognise the business painted here to be "tech".
