Well, obviously she was the best person, otherwise they would not have hired her. The definition of "best" is malleable. You may not understand the reasons why they chose her, but clearly they had them.
I'm a big fan of the serenity prayer. I drop God from the the first line. Either way there's a lot of wisdom in those few lines.

If you read the article, you'll notice that her salary isn't even mentioned. There are many ways to discriminate. What she does allege is, among other things, being denied a promotion based on feedback that was manipulated to make her look bad.
If you've got some good ideas of how to achieve this that you've been keeping to yourself then please share them!

I'm creative/handy but have been through a minimising process (ongoing) to move into a tiny home. I've treated it more like 'cut away the fat' than 'trim it to the bone'. If I used something less than about once a year, it's gone. I was terrible for hanging onto stuff because 'I might need it one day' but really, if/when that day comes I'll find another solution - like every other non-hoarding person does. There are trade-offs of course, it's something like: keepability = (usefulness * frequencyOfUse) / size

If I have items which only do one job and another which covers several, the single-use items go. Eg: I only have gas for heat, so a kettle would be heated on the flame. But it can only heat water, whereas I have a saucepan which can heat water and also heat other things. So I don't need a kettle which I'd have to find space for when other things are on the hob (I really am in a small space). The same thinking has been applied to tools.

I paint a lot so throwing away paint and brushes would be wasteful - I'd end up buying more. But I also had lots of gathered/found materials which I use for recycled art - they got chucked (sad but they were rubbish when I collected them). When I want to do some recycled art I'll use what I can find at the time. The paint/brushes etc. that I kept live in a simple wooden chest. Its flat top is extra worktop space when I need it (eg. putting down a hot pan). Put a cushion on it and it's a seat. The table I paint at folds down to become my bed at night. I can't paint quite as large as I used to - fine, this will be a different phase in my life as an artist. I can't store loads of canvases but it's ok I just have to act more responsively. A good artist can make art with pen and paper, I learned to embrace restrictions as part of the creative process years ago.

I'm a long way from 'all fits in a suitcase' but I've got down to maybe 10-20% of what I owned a year ago. I feel lighter, more efficient (stuff's easier to find!), more free to relocate to different kinds of living spaces. I've shed a lot of nostalgic attachment to objects which I thought were important but do not miss.

It doesn't have to be all or nothing. I refactored :)
> "rightful reasons"

Not according to the judge.

You may say they were rightful, and many people are discussing it.

But at the same time you have to understand that a person trained and appointed to determine if the reasons are rightful, said they are not.

That's were the story started to have two sides.
Good point for music, but if you add podcasts, youtube clips, movies and serials to this list, you quickly have mutiple terabytes that you can't ever consume in a healthy way.

(And playing it on a TV screen in the background while doing computer/tablet/smartphone stuff is not what I would consider "healthy" consumption, because then it is more a source of noise than anything else. You can't really enjoy it and miss most of the movie.)
I've thought since the 90's that programmers need a professional body with teeth.

Doctors have them, lawyers have them, civil engineers have them.

Lots of software written is at least as critical as what the above professionals do.

But software is a young field compared to all the above so I think it'll take time (or several really serious disasters...which is how the civil engineers got theirs).
Typically if a system header has changed or been added due to upgrading a library package you'll need to rerun any configure script anyway (since it very likely checks for header features and those decisions will change). So unless your build system magically makes configure depend on every header file used in every configure test it runs, you'll need to redo a clean build anyway, pretty much.

Make has a whole pile of issues, but this one really isn't an aggravation in practice, I find.

Also, at least in the home electronics space, there is a good chance that the 'trash' in 3 years time will be better than the quality product today (in short term functionality if not in longevity).

12 years ago I bought the best quality TV I could afford. And while it still works perfectly, it's objectively worse in just about every way then a current TV costing 20% of what I paid for it. However since it was so expensive and still works I cannot really bring myself to replace it.

I wish someone who works at Pixar could comment in this thread. They've had private offices ever since the steve jobs building, and often you hear that private, customized offices is one of the things that they love about their workplace.

The Steve Jobs building is designed to increase chance of random encounters between people to stimulate collaboration, but these encounters happen in the hallways and the designated collaborative spaces, rather than in people's private offices.

In iOS platform , XCode is best.
XCode is developed by Apple .so Apple optimise it several years.

In Android platform . There are various choices.
Android Studio ,You can try it .

If you can use others languages fluently.
E.g Node.js ,It have lots of frames can work on Android & iOS platforms .

In my opinion ,i don't think any SDK is best.
I think the best SDK are what your use best.

Successful Team Management in 4 Simple Steps Pt2
To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if a Russian criminal gang/the mafia tried to set up one of these marketplaces themselves. Seems like they'd be much safer from being shut down/arrested by the US authorities than anyone trying to keep their opsec good in a US friendly country.

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that so many darknet markets turned out to be run by amateur technies in the US or Western Europe rather than actual criminal gangs.
I agree with your "how utilitarian the hiring process is" but be aware that this starts earlier. As a CTO I was wondering how to hire more women for more diversity [1]
because not enough women applied. After going to girls camps, meetups, talking to women with not much success (not due to the women), I asked some female engineers - especially one from Soundcloud, thanks! They told me my job ad is already wrong. This opened my eyes and the world was no longer the same.

It caters to males with: We give you 1,2,3 and want you to have skills 4,5,6. Having having several job ads targetting several audiences helps a lot e.g. fresh from university, senior developers who have seen it all, women, dads who want 9-5.

[1] essenially more diversity results in better ideas and market fit with a tradeoff of less productivity measured in quantity
Yeah, she explicitly mentions that vanity fair article.

Among other things, she calls out vanity fair for questioning her marriage, based on the fact that her husband had had previous relationships with men.

It's also somewhat strange how you're trying character assassination by proxy. And that this is a four-year old article, so the story apparently didn't actually go anywhere.

I also believe she does a good job of outlining how the treatment of women is distinct from a general "you have to be aggressive" style of workplace behaviour. What often strikes me most unfair is how women get told to be aggressive ("own the room", as it's called in the article), but then easily faulted for being too aggressive. "Shrill" is one of these words reserved for women only.

There are trolls on the internet, but pretending it's a unified front is a ploy only useful to those seeking to play out their victim status.

Pao got roasted on reddit because she became the figurehead for widely unpopular community changes. At best you could say she was set up as the patsy by Reddit's board.

GamerGate was a cluster fuck where existing troll groups like GNAA and BWC jumped in, as did the nihilistic lolcow milkers of baphomet and kiwifarms. But the whole thing was started by a scandal over an ex helldump member, whose anti harassment group was later caught doxing and harassing, and whose posse got caught false flagging in the Social Autopsy drama. To pretend like GG is a misogynist troll army means falling for the narrative set out by the media the movement accused while ignoring the realities of the spheres in which it took place.

GG is also not right wing, as Brad Glasgow's research showed, so associating it with the alt-right is more idiotic narrative spinning. Like when feminists lump together MRA, red pill and mgtow as some sort of unholy woman hating underbelly, instead of the 3 very different things that they are.

None of this has been objectively covered, nobody bothered to investigate, only to do what the article above does: feature one sided profiles of self declared victims who stood to gain a lot from that portrayal. Visit r/KotakuInAction for instance and observe how what was claimed to be a "smoke screen" for hate is still going 3 years later, still covering abject failures in reporting, while banning all harassment.
A few years back I built a system that ran in the background and spun up fresh JVMs, which it then kept in readiness. When you wanted to start something, it would use the waiting one so you avoided the slowdown. Well, it was still pretty slow...
That's a pretty silly assumption. Is that what you do when you work from home? If not, what makes you think everyone else does?
Because it sounds like "start with tests, design and plan never". Too often
tests-first is a substitute for a thought-out architecture and data flow.
People seem to be praising Preact, like its a revolutionary. Its an amazing alternative, especially if you dont agree with the React license but its a complete rip off of React so credit where credits due.
This is an urban dwellers fantasy.
Well I am a Java guy and have two points to make.

First. What are you even talking about?

Quiet:test user$ time java Test
Test

real	0m0.104s
user	0m0.074s
sys	0m0.028s
Quiet:test user$

That's on a current MBP 13" top end.

And second: Who cares? What us "Java guys" do with Java, well, it doesn't matter in the slightest that it takes half a second to start. Because, we deploy to running processes. "We" power things like Hadoop clusters. The startup time is meaningless in "our realm" and frankly, I think if you're wondering about java for something like command line tools, it's just the wrong tool for the job for many reasons. And if you're looking at GUI apps, it's still better than Electron :P

So seriously, Hacker News, what is the obsession with this?
Patents don't apply to React. React includes a license addition that prevents you from suing Facebook for software patents, in general.
Or maybe they understood the userbase very well, and hence got themselves a sacrificial lamb before banning those subreddits.
JSX is purely a transpiler thing, so you don't have any code in the final package to handle that aspect
Are you able to outline these reasons? Because to me it seems like they were making a political point. What special experience did she have that made her a perfect match for that role, other than being a professional victim with poor judgement?
I disagree, and prefer monolithic frameworks than modular ones.

Catering for a common configuration of modules allows the maintainer and contributors to make more assumptions. These assumptions allow them greater freedom to optimize performance and simplify interfaces.

Lego like frameworks have to be uber generic thus catering to theoretical computer science aesthetics rather than real world practical use cases.

if a developer wants to stray from the "recommended" path, they should do so at their own cost. The community should not belabor themselves to accommodate outliers.

maintaining these projects is really hard work.
> It's just a tactic for asserting power and dominance.

I think you're right. I haven't read through the article yet but my opinion is that for the most part, social hierarchy is a cultural mechanism to select alpha males. So women who think they should participate in that are seriously misguided, like a deer doe who wants to participate in deer dueling.

In other words, they (rightfully) reject a biological urge for women (which is to be caring mother, more or less) and accept (wrongly) a biological urge for men, which is to take risk and climb the social hierarchy at any cost.

But it doesn't make any sense, the world is actually not a dichotomy between males and females and much larger than that. I think women who want equality (or just want to exercise free will and thus disregard some of our original biology) should support democracy (as opposed to authoritarian hierarchy), first and foremost. Even in the workplace.

In short - I cannot sympathize with her (and other female C*Os, who complain about sexism). She's decided to play a game of thrones, so she is on her own. If she really wants equality between people (not just "sexes"), then maybe we can talk, you can find me on the left.
This sounds like the critical question in the whole thing.
I can't help but feel that this story doesn't really add up.

> I recommended that she not report it.

She is sharing her story with her team, possibly seeking ways of retribution, and when she finds out a story that can help her cause, and _this_ is her response? To what end?
I'm surprised to see that Groovy slightly beats Kotlin in on that graph. I really underestimated Groovy popularity, or overestimated Kotlin.

I've yet to work with Kotlin but did like Groovy some years ago. Never used it professionaly though, only for play-projects.
> Engineering in computer science has long been represented by a nearly nonexistent barrier to entry outside of one's capabilities and their relevance to the position [...] Your accomplishments and capabilities interviewing are ultimately what get the hire"

I'd just like to highlight that this is specific to Silicon Valley, and maybe the wider startup/GAFA scene. It's definitely not the case in the "old school" in which 90% of software engineers work. If you're looking for a developer job in Accenture Bangalore, Citigroup London, or Lufthansa IT Frankfurt, I guarantee that your diploma matters more than your capabilities.
For Scala lovers, here are the scala.js facade: https://github.com/LMnet/scala-js-preact
Not fun at all. Boring trivia, that's all.
Patents regard underlying functionality so if Preact infringes on the patent through using the same or sufficiently similar mechnism's to react functionality, it's a toss up but due to the nature of open source code the user might be liable.

Depends on the ruling of use of open source code that is in a way productized.
Also depends on if Preact's implementation is sufficient to infringe on React's patents (if they have any weight to them that is and are upheld)

Its not a random library, its extremely similar to React.
True, it can also be a form of peacocking. But in an industry where results are easily tested it's much harder to get away with that.

Don't worry, it hasn't been lost by game developers in the professional space. The article is presumably from a web developer implementing their first game. No offense meant by that statement, but if you're reaching for Socket.io (or even TCP/IP) for a real-time multiplayer game then you're probably going to have a bad time.

Thankfully we have free resources from professionals in the industry to keep us on the right track:

> 'Serverless is an architectural pattern resulting in: Functions as a Service, or FaaS'

Then call it FaaS - it's not serverless and that term is misleading, marketing bunk. Even the title of the post describes the servers used in it's deployment, I'm quite sick of this term - I don't find it at all helpful when describing application architecture.
> I don't think you need to have huge screenshots everywhere

Can't disagree with you on that. I remember seeing a couple of repos recently that have like a "More" button which actually loads the image. Will try tracking them down to see the code and using the same procedure.
I kind of hoped that the background video would be better than text description. I try to think of the main reason for that but probably as we believe the main difference is the quick server enrolment and ongoing automation of that.

Still working on this - it's incredibly hard to reach out to people who need this kind of tool.

It's a literary style called an 'essay'. I think it's well-written.

I don't think it's trying to actually make the case for silicon valley's sexism–except that it'd be highly unlikely that all this happened to her (and a coworker as well) and nobody else.

If you need further convincing, I submit most of this thread as exhibit 2. Then, maybe check out posts on reddit from the time of her trial.
> Nobody is ever actually offended by science

Nope. What they are offended by are assholes using science incorrectly to back seriously sexist arguments that "explain" how they're inferior.
I love this idea but I feel that some engineers may interpret it as a message that you think they are childish/immature.
The history tables pattern
It's funny, since I see restaurants that generate only $70 per meal (around 2 hours or so?) build super elegant wooden partitions that accomplish the exact same thing that cubicles do in an office environment.

It seems like it shouldn't be too expensive to do that...
Is this viable to use as a drop in replacement for React? I am concerned about the license using React, that would be the sole reason to chose something else. I also got few projects in React that we would like to keep.
Life is not that long either, and being an experience generation, there is a palpable opportunity cost to accumulating stuff you don't want. Just walking by an overcrowded garage or basement reminds you of the time it will take to deal with it, time that you could be using for a trip or something else stimulating.
The Hardest Program I've Ever Written (2015)
Yes. In fact, you should generally start marketing anything while it's still fairly early in development. Build up a fanbase and supporters before your product or service is released so it gets a lot of users on day 1.

This will also get you more press coverage too, which is much easier to come by when journalists know they've got a guaranteed audience for stories about your startup than if it's a completely untested idea with no existing audience.
Link? There are some articles by Joel about offices but nothing that seems like "floor design".
I've considered doing the same thing. Offices are not ridiculously expensive, and it's really pleasant to be able to control the AC yourself :/
The JVM does do lazy-loading.
> " I was sure the white men booked on the flight..."

I agree, saying it was white men who were booked on the plane did sound a bit off to me, but also consider the environment she worked in:

> "When venture capitalists say — and they do say — “We think it’s young white men, ideally Ivy League dropouts, who are the safest bets,” then invest only in young white men with Ivy League backgrounds, of course young white men with Ivy League backgrounds are the only ones who make money for them."

There clearly is a culture in her industry of judging people by age, colour and sex so it is likely that she has become used to doing the same, at least in terms of colour.

This does not make her comment right but it does give it context and should not detract from her main arguments.
Awesome list for investment and finance related resources
> So seriously, Hacker News, what is the obsession with this?

We are optimists, we think there is always something that could be improved.
The JVM languages usually add their own heavy libraries. I believe the JVM is optimized for loading the standard library as quickly as possible but this optimization doesn't apply if you use a JVM language that comes with it's own libraries.
I know this isn't what you're responding to, but... I do notice the difference between vim (or neovim) and spacemacs -- spacemacs is noticeably slower. I do still use spacemacs more than vim now, though, because its Clojure integration is better.

(aside-rant: evil-mode is also not really a substitute for vim -- when you say you're a vim user, people often ask "why not just use the vim emulation in editor-X?" and the reason is because vim emulation has never, in my experience, been as good an experience as vim, things always work subtly differently)
> That means, if you use React, and you happen to own a patent for something that FB utilises, you can't sue FB without losing your React license.

Correction: Without losing your license to use any patents on React. Which...

> As far as I can tell nothing about React is patented...

I agree. Which means the entire issue is a huge paper tiger; you lose your right to use something that doesn't seem to exist.
Can’t find a pain point? There’s another way to find your biz idea…
No, have to agree with the others here, it doesn't say what you think it does at all.
You have to set it up every day though? I hate having to plug in everything after every time I take my laptop out somewhere. I'd much rather have a fixed computer that just stays there.
