I am not saying that abuse never happens by someone who is looking to get rid of someone they simply don't like or a boss that gave them a bad review. It has happened and no doubt it will happen again. However, rest assured that it does not take long for the person who is complaining of unwanted or unwelcome statements to see that, historically at least, they are viewed as the problem.

In general, businesses, regardless of industry, have tended to view complainants as the troublemakers (or at least a legal risk) and their future at the company is affected in one form or another. Anyone that can sue a company is a threat and threats are not typically viewed positively. The individual may achieve a short-term goal (or satisfy their agenda as you point out) but long-term they are not on the winning end of the game they are playing.

Any individual who would use complaints as a career driver, or to drive whatever agenda you are alluding to, is in for a rude awakening. This would apply to those who complain of harassment, whistleblowers', or simply well intentioned employees. We have yet to come up with a way to resolve the issue and protect reputations, career advancement, etc for the parties involved when it comes to unwanted or unwelcome statements that reasonable people can disagree about.

Note: I am not addressing repeat offenders or blatant harassment. I am only addressing situations where a comment was not meant to offend but is offensive to someone but reasonable people differ on if the comment was offensive. Clearly people are different and what offends one does not offend someone else. These are the difficult situations that I am addressing, not someone showing up in a bathrobe at a coworkers hotel room.
Oh no, he was very clearly mad. Just not the sort of madness that gave the slightest indication that he'd deliberately cause harm to anyone (accidentally causing harm by talking people into things, on the other hand...).
Shaming is a deep-seated evolutionary mechanism to somewhat gently encourage people to conform to the norms of society. It works pretty great on almost everyone.

I'm also wondering why HN is having dozens of articles hit the frontpage defending white supremacists. I distinctly remember a general agreement of get-a-job when Occupy Wall Street was forced off the streets by police.

> They clearly are. What is obvious to some of us is that the reason for that disinterest is that the field is hostile to them.

Oh yes, hostility manifested by half-century old magazine ads or phrases like "cowboy coder." If they're allowing their career paths to be altered by innocuous stuff like that, or what a teacher might have told them, I don't think they want it that badly.

>Give it time.

Now think, where are all those public sector workers? Probably regretting big their decisions at the start of their careers.

Right now, people who go into industry right out of the school have huge opportunity. Low competition, low barriers for entry. By the time the private sector economy will pass the inflection point, and be making good money, people who choose work in private enterprises will be years ahead of the competition.

Check on how Russian IT industry rose up. Back in mid-noughties, a typical IT worker/software dev was either a high-schooler, self-taught person, or "studied botanics, but ended up in IT" type graduate. Barriers for entry were pretty much non-existent, there were nobody to push back at hiring such people with their "authoritative opinion." When the economy finally went belly up in 2014, people with ~50k incomes in hard currency suddenly became big men and among them were many people from IT. Many of such people started their own shops. Now, Russian companies have luxury to hire people with PhD level education for intern level position, because the crowd that was going into banking/lawyer/MBA/statesmanship finally turned to IT.

CDDL includes a "weak patent retaliation" clause [1], meaning you only lose the grant if you initiate a patent infringement claim within the context of the project, i.e. saying that the project you have adopted infringes a patent of yours.

And even if you do, the revocation takes effect in 60 days, which is pretty friendly IMHO.

Pretty understandable to throw away the past and make it anew. Unfortunately unless you understand that the exercise is just that: exercise, and that there is nothing truly new under the sun you misplace your importance and priorities. Learn from other peoples mistakes and don't fix what isn't broken. If these two precepts were persistent there would be constant advancement.

Oh, sure, there were ads in newspapers and magazines. But I see a world of difference between even full-page static ads in newspapers and pop-up full-video ads with sound online. The latter is much more distracting. As consumers, we have lost a lot of ground on that front. To be fair, we also have access to a lot more content.

I'm thinking it's because they already have mounds of tech debt that would better address long term issues if they had the time to work on it. Take a look at the chromium bug tracker. It's overwhelming.
I'm cognisant of the fact that it's very easy for "conversations" on the internet to devolve into ugly, unproductive masses of human mental refuse at a much more accelerated pace than offline, but we also have to be aware that letting machines filter what we can or can't say based on "decency" or "toxicity".

It's fine if the system reminds you that you are not being particularly polite or toxic, but filtering communication on the internet by this manner can't be the solution.

I'm just looking at the pdf they link to in this article:

In the summary they say, the following on how to 'win the battle'

"The key to winning the battle against counterfeit semiconductors is elegantly simple: Exclusively buy
semiconductor products either directly from the Original Component Manufacturer (OCM) or directly
from the OCM’s Authorized Distributors/Resellers."

I wonder if they have hardware to test the functioning of chips, like testing them to ensure they meet the parameters on the datasheets (like current consumption etc.).

If conditions were amenable enough, I'd work in a factory too. (I'm being serious, I would.)
No judgement from me on the ultimate truth or falsity of her claim. My only point is that the idea that a PR firm would engage in astroturfing has enough plausibility not to be dismissed as a conspiracy theory out of hand, since such things do actually happen. Other contextual factors certainly do bear on the overall credibility of the claim, but taken in isolation, it is not an absurdity, as the parent comment seems to suggest.
Whether it was intentional or not, my fear is that the seller will simply re-list the item and try to sell it again to the next "victim". It should be reported, no matter how minute, so that more Ebay and sellers become aware of the problem.

These frameworks are not that different from each other. I went from Angular to Vue in an afternoon. Sure, I don't know the internals of Vue, but after working in it for a few days, I'd say I'm fairly competent and spend most of my time building the actual product.

> The way things are at the moment you've just about learned to work with the quirks of one framework and then you have to pick up another one.

Frameworks shouldn't really have quirks, they should ideally just work with a standard API. Of course, it's never that easy, but we're converging on that with custom elements. This is like switching from MySQL to Postgres. It's 90% the same, the edge cases you can figure out and migrate, and you don't really care about how it's implemented.

It's not like you're trying to learn a new keyboard layout.
I'm exactly like you. Home is strictly for non-work stuff: no work, no reading emails (not that I carry my work phone anyway), no nothing and I despise working from home.

Yet I work remotely. I work remotely because I felt like moving to a sunny, cheap place where I get to live like a king and I just rent a desk at a co-working office where a couple of my friends work too. It's lovely, all the nice things about being in an office and all the nice things about working remotely.

It's going to vary depending on circumstances. If you are engaging in an activity where this is a realistic possibility, there should be a discussion about it. I recently sailed a boat from Los Angeles to Hawaii, and while the trip isn't especially dangerous you are far from emergency medical care. One of the guys did tell me that he would want to be buried at sea. The alternatives are not great if you are far from shore, how long does unrefrigerated meat last in the tropics? Some hikes and climbs it might be realistic to bring the person back, other times you might need to plan a return trip.
Pure conjecture - the sub was sunk in an attempt to destroy evidence; after all, exposing a crime scene to sea water probably doesn't make it simpler for a forensic investigator to figure out what happened.

The murder itself? Try to cover for another crime? Again, (obviously) just conjecture.

> There isn't much of a reason to specifically recruit biology majors (other than for demographic reasons or if the company software is related to biology).

I know many talented biology majors who have no interest spending their entire career alongside men smugly assume they "couldn't make it into med school". Or those who actually believe in the work that they're doing. Try telling the hundreds of thousands in research labs working on groundbreaking science like CRISPR that their careers are considered settling.
Death Squared (Switch) Review
Other commenters have commented on how the data is biased/cherry picked, and Google would have a different take on the market share numbers.

However, it might be more to Google's benefit to say nothing and use this as evidence of not having a dominant majority share if there is a monopoly lawsuit against them in the US. In fact, I suspect that losing the Firefox search default might actually be beneficial to Google for the same reason.
What does Madsen say about:

* What happened while the two were at the submarine?
* What did he do after he supposedly left her at a restaurante?
* Why did he changed his story?
* How did she die?

Did the journalist had any special information/characteristics/secret agenda that could have caused Madsen to kill her and destroy his own life in that way?

What was happening in the life of this Madsen recently that could indicate that he was going to do something like that?

I have a number of things that were made back when repairing was the norm. Unfortunately, I know now if it were to break I wouldn't be able to find a repairman who knew what to do with it for any price I could afford. It'll become cheaper to buy throwaway stuff since the bills for repair are high (or more likely, I'll hoard the stuff until I can save up enough for the repair - but this is difficult when I don't have my own permanent place to live).

Unfortunately this is a problem that perpetuates itself. As more people buy the throwaway goods, repairmen see business dry up, and become rarer. The ones left are expensive.

Quality items made to last by local craftsmen sound great! As long as there's any craftsmen left by the time people turn to them for business.

Here in Blighty, with a lot of companies still muddling on with the barest handle on web marketing, I've found Bing much more useful than Google for finding companies supplying materials or goods that aren't exactly 'exciting'. A lot of small - medium-sized industry output, for example.

Just this last year I've added Bing to my [hardcoded] homepage and found two 'things' that I've been hard-pushed for literally years to find a non-American/German supplier for.

It's fashionable and fun to bash Microsoft, but I can't say I'm much-amused by the utter stranglehold Google has on my internet usage otherwise (my fault, I know).

Let's give Bing a chance.

Perhaps you'd like to expand on what "the original meaning" was to you?

If it wasn't obvious, one of my points was that being good at swimming is just that - it has nothing to do with software engineering. The whole "inherently different" argument is a red-herring if it has no provable bearing on the ability to do the (software engineering) work.

edit: my main point though, was that differences in statistical sport affinities are not, and do not explain "racism" - just as difference in statistical career-affinity is not, and doesn't explain "sexism".

Agreed. It's always bizarre to me that people make the choice to use bloated, crappy OSes and then complain about the very existence of these options as though they're compelled to use them. I've used Linux as my primary system since the first year of college, and that's taken me all the way from a snazzy, effects-laden setup to my current stripped down Openbox setup with no panels, controlled largely by keyboard shortcuts.

Not that my system is perfect, obviously, but bloat on your system that's not due to something you're explicitly running is a concern I just can't relate to at all, and frankly, I don't know why people put up with it.

The writer likely has chosen an ingredient to focus on, I'm sure there are a laundry list of items that may expose an inadequacy of focusing on a specific item, however, his effort can be understood and he should not be called a hypocrite
Some things to note:

* The Amazon Echo uses Bing as it's default search engine, which almost certainly explains why the US has so much larger usage than other countries (since Amazon is so big in the US).

* Windows' search bar feature searches the internet by default with Bing. As an aside, it's interesting to me how bad the backlash was on Canonical for doing this a few years ago, but it appears most Windows users don't care.

* Edge uses Bing by default, and a not-insignificant number of internet users likely don't know (or care) to change their default search engine. Hell, some people probably just Bing "google" and then use Google. I've seen my grandparents do that before.

So really these statistics seem to be quite misleading.
Not sure about blogs, but I can recommend the book The Art of Electronics (Horowitz and Hill). It's very expensive, but worth every penny.

BDD test definitions are the one that really annoy me.
