Disagree 51%. Recording tests works well and saves tons of time in specific scenarios. It works especially well for "throw away" test cases that you need only for a few days, for example during development of a specific feature. So I consider your statement way too black and white.
I don't find it remotely hard to believe that Ellen Pao's recounting of her experience in the world of venture capital is far from the truth.

What, specifically, makes you say that?

No, it's not utilitarian. Cultural fit dominates as a hiring criterion in software dev, and "cultural fit" can be a proxy for racism, sexism, any sort of discrimination you can think of.
Yes. Same reason you cannot reply to the first comment from dang or flag this post. This IS the party line
It's late, and sometimes my reading comprehension sucks, so just to be extra clear, are you suggesting that the representation of Asians in tech is due to the stereotype of Asians being good at STEM and not the fact that Asians are well represented in STEM fields at the college/university level, and subsequently are mostly likely quite competent in these fields which are often required in the tech industry?
In the old days, I was told 30fps were the holy grail of 3D Gaming, 2x frames wouldn't do it. You will need an additional 3dfx card ( Voodoo ) to do it!. All Magazine start pushing out this answer with benchmarks showing which card hit 30Fps or above.

One or two years later, It turns out because human uses both our eyes for vision, we need double the frame rate, 60fps is the key and limit of human perception. All First Person Shooter should try and hit 60Fps. That was the era of Doom, Half Life, and Counter Strike.

60Fps settled for a long time. No one were discussing any thing more. ( Or we did but we stay at 60fps, Doom 3 even try to cap the frame rate at 60. ) We needed 120Fps or more for AR for an immersive experience, but i thought that was only for AR.

The iPad Pro 's 120Hz screen, it really was similar to when i first saw and use Retina Screen. The wow factor. For a long time I thought 60Fps was enough. And the sluggish of Computer UI was all software problem.

The conclusion is, we may, or may not be able to react to 120fps timing. But we do definitely feel the difference. And as a matter of fact, after knowing it is a frame rate problem, you can see how 120fps is still not quite enough. It is like the early days of Retina 330ppi Smartphone screen, It is not quite up to imperceivable difference yet. A lot of people may not agree this latency, slight sluggishness matters, ( The early days of Android users dont think it is problem ) but i like where all these direction are going, latency is now taking a front seat for optimization.
I'm getting the impression that a lot of extension developers are not just complaining about these changes but also making the decision to shut down their development. Feels like it could be pretty bad news for Firefox.
> Be skeptical if anyone ever tells you that you need a degree to do anything

Everybody learn differently.

I actually learn better in an academic setting. So a degree is actually the best choice for me.
Pao's appointment at Reddit always struck me as odd. Was she really the best person they could find?
Show HN: Meemo, Learn Scrum and Agile Faster on Mobile
Her complaints about the office politics make up the bulk of the text - I experienced much the same as a man. Her complaints about woman specific issues, like accidentally having an affair or being upset about not being able to take off 4 months in an insanely competitive industry... I'm not terribly impressed.

The sex talk complaint is interesting though - consider whatever emotional response you've arrived at, but with a slight twist: a straight man having to listen to gay men talk about gay porn stars. So what are we talking about here, 'don't ask don't tell'? Because I'm totally fine with that - I don't enjoying hearing the sexual fantasies of my coworkers (regardless of orientation), anybody know why that didn't work for the military?
You only lose the patent license, not the copyright license. So it is important to know if facebook actually owns patents covering react and if those patents cover other frameworks as well (e.g. because they cover all virtual DOMs).
Sounds about right to me. /s

More seriously though, that "every 11 minutes" figure is most likely an average, so there will be intervals much longer than that.

But that has nothing to do with the IDE no longer being available, but merely as a cost-saver for you guys (I presume).
I don't understand how it can be so expensive, I can rent a serviced office for two people locally for £400/month. This is without the economies of scale of an organisation.
I agree that it is frustrating to have to constantly push back against the hysteria around the license, however, I think parent was correct in their initial assertion - "The problem is if you ever found facebook infringing on one of your patents, you could not sue them -- your react patent grant would be rescinded.".

While rescinding the patent grant does not remove your license to use the product, I've seen some lawyers argue that Facebook's license is weaker than a "regular BSD license". The argument goes that a "regular BSD license" has an implicit patent grant that is stronger than what the React license offers through its explicit patent grant. Thus, you are not reverting to a "regular BSD license", you are reverting to a "regular BSD license MINUS the implicit patent grant".

(http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Implicit_patent_licence#USA)

(IANAL so I have no particular understanding whether this is a good legal argument, but assuming it is, it seems like a strong counterpoint).
Note that SauceLabs, Browserstack etc. will continue to work. This was just an extension that allowed you to create tests by click through your website rather than writing them by hand. Resulted in far brittler tests, but useful to some apparently.

This graphic is interesting, thought it might be instructive to calculate accumulated values:

P99: 1.022**36 = 2.2
P99.9: 1.032**36 = 3.1
P99.99: 1.043**36 = 4.6
P99.999: 1.06**36 = 8.1

It would be interesting to see absolute numbers.

>All too often the latter feels like women (and male feminists) on a power trip. The feelings of being offended aren't real, it's just a way to convince/force others to do what they want.

Please explain this statement further. I am trying to understand how the person who is harassed is the person with the power or on a power trip as you put it. Wouldn't the best way to avoid such a scenario be to avoid the circumstance of making unwanted or unwelcome statements? How in the world can you definitely tell the feelings of being offended are not real?
In the last hours since submitting this link to HN, I started using the Selenium IDE made by Kantu:

Sempra Energy to Buy Oncor for $9.45B in Blow for Berkshire
This bit is interesting:

> The defense also argued that Pao was paid more than most of her male colleagues. While salaries had previously been redacted from legal documents, the trial revealed that Pao's salary after bonuses eventually reached a peak of $560,000.

It would be interested to know the salaries of people who had the exactly same position before and after her. If the salaries are at the same level, it's difficult to talk about discrimination.
Moreover, we see the same thing today with digital items. (Well, to be honest, we already saw this 20 years ago with digital items.)

There, it is just not so visible because disk space is ever increasing as well as getting cheaper.

In the days of Napster, people collected gigabytes of music just to have it - at some point this was more minutes than they could ever listen to in a life span.

Few people actually care to collect that stuff in order to make it accessible to more people. For example, the people at archive.org, as well as many libraries, are doing a great job.

But the majority of collectors collect only for their own, usually with an unwieldy directory structures and meaningless file names (track1, track2, ...). They won't ever find anything they search for. It's often faster to search & buy those via Internet. Same with movies.

It is even worse with personal photographs and videos. The same way some people have loads of paper photographs around, other have disks full of digital photographs. 200+ photographs per day of vacation are not uncommon. Who will ever look at those?

Reducing those to the "best" 10-20 items already feels like an imposition to most. Reducing those further to 1 photograph to summarize the vacation is considered extremist by most. And even then, they will just mark the best photos, but won't delete anything except for the most blurred garbage photos.

Even more strangely, some people do feel the urge to clean up their mess, but as with physical items, deleting loads of digital items takes a lot of time for them. This is the next round of absurdity: They would rather spend a weekend (or full week) on finishing their photo/video archive than to go out for another trip.

Maybe we need a "digital item" version of Paul Graham's classic "stuff" article? http://paulgraham.com/stuff.html
Part of me wants to believe that a solar powered raspberry pi cluster has a legitimate use case. The things use like ~1W of power, so the board itself is surprisingly efficient compared to a "real" server.

But really, I think the primary use case is cost. Actually having access to that many physical machines to play with in a classroom or home learning environment is sort of new! The market hasn't really had such accessible linux computers at "Ehh, if it breaks I'll just buy a new one, no big deal" prices. It's educational, and the more stable the ARM support is, the better a student's skills will transfer over into the real world of systems administration.
I know of one, fairly questionable study that showed that you could reduce Phthalates in your blood by about 50% by eliminating processed food, never storing or heating food in plastic, and switching to Phthalate free personal care products. There have been a few studies that have shown that the main route of exposure is through ingestion. Processed foods are more likely to contain Phthalates, probably because the ingredients may have flowed through PVC tubing that leaches them. It's really impossible to know, but the fewer processing steps your food has gone through, the less chance that this has happened. The biggest industrial use of Phthalates is as a plasticizer, and they are present in several types of plastic, in large quantities. Heating food in plastic containers has the potential to volatilize Phthalates and leach them into your food. This is a particular risk in prepared frozen food that you microwave. Many personal care products, such as soaps, shampoos, deodorants, and perfumes, contain Phthalates. Try to find ones that don't.

One particularly bad source of exposure is certain enteric coated medicines and supplements. I would strongly advise anyone to not take anything that is enteric coated unless you know what the coating is made of. Some pills can spike Phthalate levels by 50x in a single dose.

Almost all foods that contain animal fat will contain Phthalates, and this is a big source of exposure. Milk, meat, cheese, etc, all contain them, as they are fat soluble. The good news is that your body seems to clear these chemicals fairly quickly, but the problem is that you're constantly exposed to them.

Ultimately, these are chemicals that we've produced over a billion tons of. It's just not possible to avoid them entirely. If you have a baby on the way though, make sure that the new mom does everything she can to minimize exposure, as what happens during that time really can never be taken back.
Or worse, they expect people to be good at multiple unrelated job fields at the same time. No, you're not likely to find a web developer who's also fantastic at graphics design, marketing/SEO, technical support, writing and sales. Especially not if you offer near minimum wage for the work.

In cases like that, they're either after an extremely rare unicorn that will fix their business overnight or not actually that reliant on someone with all those skills and hoping some magical unicorn will apply none the less.
Yes. But as a man you're not allowed to complain about that. Men cannot be discriminated against or harassed.

From what I understood, It is not a patent on React. As far as I can tell nothing about React is patented... and that is not the discussion over the past few days has been about.

This whole shebang has nothing to do with React itself, or the "technology" that React uses or anything, but more about the way many FB's open source libraries are licensed, one of which is React.

The license specify that you are free to use React as you would use a BSD licensed software, provided that you never sue FB for a patent. 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. So, your option is either suck it up and let FB use your patented thing for free, or rewrite your software to take React out of it, and then proceed with the lawsuit.
It's not deleted, but it's hidden by default, apparently. You have to click on the [+] in AnonNo15's post.

Spatialreference.org is a great resource for finding these coordinate systems.

For example, in Korea a bunch of mapping providers use "UTM-K", which is some custom UTM projection

(defined such that coordinate [1_000_000, 2_000_000] is some point in the mountains in the north of South Korea (38.0, 127.5 lat/lon))

Just search UTM-K on spatialreference,
http://spatialreference.org/ref/sr-org/7308/

And you get the magic postgis incantation
http://spatialreference.org/ref/sr-org/7308/postgis/

Then just set the srid and everything should work nicely.
I think it's clear that the other side of the story is a concept that applies chiefly to controversial stories. And this story is extremely controverial.

No wonder people rightfully remind there's another side.
> We've entered into an era of unprecedented government surveillance and power. We have agencies such as the DEA, NSA, homeland security, etc that wield enormous power over the lives of Americans.

You're claiming that people are less cooperative because the NSA is spying on them?
You wouldn't necessarily be exposed to that if you're a man or not challenging your perceived place in the hierarchy.

The talking about porn etc may just have been a clumsy attempt to put the woman in her place by making her feel uncomfortable, didn't work so he switched to talking about sex workers. It's just a tactic for asserting power and dominance. If she wasn't there taking a place he sees as for a man, it wouldn't have come up.
The 20% figure doesn't say that much - you'd need to know how many of the extensions used most often are ported. I can very much imagine there being a long tail of extensions that nobody uses.

Also take into account how many Chrome extensions are ported over now that it's easy. For example, the only extension I use that won't get ported over is VimFx, but Vimium has now become available which does exactly the things I used VimFx for.

>Interestingly enough, there are efforts to improve Scala compilation time by keeping only a subset of the language. Which then raises the question, why keep Scala if you ditch its powerful features (such as macros)?

Doesn't check out because university generally doesn't provide job-related skills. You need internships and part-time jobs for that.
I can tell you that about 90% of candidates I speak to are male, about 80% are white, Eastern European, or South & East Asian. The demographics of the hiring pool are very much aligned with the demographics of the workforce.

In terms of "cultural" fit, you're right. I do a lot of work with Hindu Indians and Muslim Pakistanis, because I have an enormous "cultural" overlap with them as a white male from Southern California. Oh, wait, I actually hired them because they were excellent engineers.
Not really. Censorship is generally used in a general sense, in which a private party can be the one doing the censoring. It doesn't purely apply to the first amendment in the US constitution.

And with sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and others with a large share of the market, it can certainly seem like censorship given how much being blocked or banned hurts your visibility.
That last bit - incredibly good (and obvious) advice.

Yeah, what a shitshow. It's a testament to the strength of her character that she still hangs out and posts sometimes. I would have burned that bridge with fury.

Google looking to acquire small startup X? Not anymore because they use React. Wow.
I am maintaining kind of a rival repository to this one[0].

I heavily moderate it. Most of what's on that list has been verified by me. Contains about 50 pieces of software. The problem is: people don't give a shit about this heavily curated lists. They just want a gigantic list of every software ever. Heck, I think I have like five commits in total in that section, but at least it satisfies one of your criteria (GNOME or KDE based or something else). No KDE user ever has stumbled upon my list and made some contributions, so I'm really lacking on that front.

I'll see what I can do about the rest of your proposals. I'm pretty sure I could easily implement at least half of them.

> Nobody is ever actually offended by science

I'm not going to look it up, but it wouldn't surprise me if science shows that men are more aggressive than women.

It does hurt my feelings when people assume that I'm going to be aggressive/dangerous because I'm a man.

There are many other examples of how science can offend people, but this one affects me the most.

As others have pointed out, none of this is particularly accurate. It is, however, true that a) she was a high profile woman due to her court case b) there exists a misogynistic troll army* that targets high profile women especially in tech c) all that you describe gave them ammunition. What it didn't do was make her a target, she already was.

*Someone else took issue with the phrase "paid army of trolls". The existence of the gamergate/alt-right/etcetera troll army isn't really in dispute. Equally it's well known that actors foreign and domestic have been pushing these viewpoints with actual cash. So while I don't know one way or another whether the alt-right troll army that targets Pao has paid components, I don't think it sounds beyond the realms of plausibility either.
With your attitude you cannot trust anybody.

Also government is nothing bad. A part of a good data safety policy is absolutely also including cooperation with law enforcement. If you think that your government is abusing its power then choosing super-crypto is not the right battle field - you have to become politically active.
I do the same as parent poster. Everything I own fits into a single large suitcase so I can just wake up one day and decide to buy a ticket to country X and fly.

I have always rented serviced apartments so the bed sheets, cutlery and other equipment is always in the flat I rent so I use that.

My sports clothes and other hobby equipment also fits into the single suitcase. I keep my clothes collection quite small, if I am not wearing something for a year I will throw it away or give to charity.

You'd be surprised how useful it is to have all your stuff fit into single big suitcase if you love traveling around the world. It's very easy for me to travel or to move around the world for work.

I had to help my sister move apartment recently and I was shocked by the massive amount of stuff she owns. So many suitcases and bags, we had to rent a big van to move it all. I don't get it.
>In response to my suit, Kleiner hired a powerful crisis-­management PR firm, Brunswick. On their website, they bragged about having troll farms — “integrated networks of influence,” used in part for “reputation management” — and I believe they enlisted one to defame me online.

The "I believe" is the operative phrase in this allegation. It's not implausible, however. Comments everywhere on topics where powerful agents have interests (i.e. everything) seem to be subject to a great deal of astroturfing. The existence of groups that do this is not disputed. The trend seems to be getting a lot more pronounced lately, just by my personal observation.
