"Don't ask, don't tell" meant something very different in the US military - barring openly LGBT people from service, but allowing "closeted" LGBT people to serve.
I think it has very little to do with durability and a lot to do with the relative prices of manufactured goods versus real estate.

It's very easy for the floor space consumed by an object to exceed its value. Especially if you're renting, in which case you could probably assign an actual monthly monetary cost to keeping every single object in your flat.
I definitely get the point about personalising (it's not for me, but I know many people like it), but having to cart your laptop + charger can easily be solved with lockers. The place I currently work at does hot desks, but everyone has lockers for their personal belongings and things they don't want to lug around which, so far, has been striking a happy balance.
We invoke shell commands in a Makefile, and if we are concerned about POSIX conformance in the Makefile syntax, we need to be equally concerned about POSIX conformance in the shell commands and the shell scripts we invoke in Makefile.

While I have not found a foolproof way to test for and prove POSIX conformance in shell scripts, I usually go through the POSIX.1-2001 documents to make sure I am limiting my code to features specified in POSIX. I test the scripts with bash, ksh, and zsh on Debian and Mac. Then I also test the scripts with dash, posh and yash on Debian. See https://github.com/susam/vimer/blob/master/Makefile for an example.

Having insurance is prudent, but really beside the point. If you can safeguard your valuables by paying for a service, why wouldn't you? This really has nothing to do with civic society.

In the case of hurricanes, it's only because of government intervention and subsidies that people build in imperiled areas. Flood insurance mostly subsidizes more wealthy people to the tune of $3B/year. They would likely not choose to live in imperiled areas without the subsidies. Is it really a social good to promote the building of dwellings in places where it is likely the dwellings will be destroyed every 20 - 30 years or so?

Having seen the devastation of Katrina in MS first hand, this seems like a remarkably poor choice of things to subsidize and promote. In fact, when we were there about a year after the storm, the only people who were helping the people who were left were voluntary associations. The government had pretty much pulled out.

Tocqueville wrote extensively about associations and their beneficial impact on society. You should give his book, Democracy in America, a read. Here's an intro: http://www.learningtogive.org/resources/philanthropy-describ...
Wow, so much to unravel.

First: "Don't ask, don't tell" wasn't about sharing your sexual fantasies in minute details. It was simply about your sexual orientation, and it was discriminatory because it was obviously accepted to mention your opposite-gendered spouse, or have a photo of them somewhere people would see it.

And since you experienced the same as a man: how often did one of your superiors set up a fake meeting on the other side of the continent, which then turned into an attempted 'romantic getaway'. Did you also have to physically push him out of your hotel room, where he showed up in his bathrobe?
> Ironing board? Mattress? Lawn mower? Kitchen mixer? Washing machine? Laundry basket?

Most serviced apartments have all of those (well except lawn mower obviously). So just rent serviced apartment wherever you are living/working at the moment and you can easily have all your stuff fit into one suitcase.
Except when it is.

Investing resources is great marketing, trains your developers if they're working on it and gains you influence to improve the parts you need improved.

>I want know if the are any large amount of "Googlers" here.

There are many, although their representation is likely no different from any other company with a developer headcount that large.

I doubt there's any sort of flagging conspiracy. If anything, BigCo employees are probably less likely to flag such stories. If I worked for a huge company like that, I'd probably upvote every such story and then grab some popcorn.

Likely what you're seeing is simply HN becoming sick of the topic. Subsequent news articles that cover ongoing scandals which do not significantly differ from prior articles tend to fare poorly.
Men often have to deal with loads of shit at work also, but if you are a straight white man you don't have a handy discrimination card to play.
And they have Minecraft with a symbol that appears to be a dollar sign with a strike-out, which, I assume, means "free of charge". Minecraft is very much not free of charge.
You could try running a Raspberry but add a Network Block device from another machine and. (xNBD: https://bitbucket.org/hirofuchi/xnbd/wiki/Home )

Then export a RAM disk from that machine and add the NBD disk as swap on the Raspberry. It would be slow, but builds would complete. Then you'd need only one low-to-moderate power machine (a PC presumably) in your Raspberry cluster, just with lots of RAM in the one PC.
It is true that she had a financial interest (how serious is unknown) depending on the outcome, but she could have walked away with probably a healthy payout had she signed the non-disparage agreement that is commonplace in these situations.
My comment was not so much about leftovers as it was about the time it takes to cook. And while I certainly do use the leftovers I end up with, I also try cook in such a way that it minimizes leftovers.
It's easy to get hung up on the particulars of Pao's story and get sidetracked into defending or judging her, but I feel that is besides the point. I am more interested in the wider notion of why she wrote this article: to point out that sexism in tech is a thing, and that it shouldn't be.

I'm wondering though: is this just about sexism, or is it about professionalism and maturity? Getting hit on by someone higher up the hierarchy than you can make it impossible to do your job, so that behavior is clearly unprofessional. But getting yelled at by your boss for shipping a bug is also unprofessional, and can also make it a toxic work environment. I'm not saying the two are the same, just that both are examples of unprofessional behavior that many places will tolerate.

Isn't it time we have conversations about what it means to be a professional in tech? Maybe other industries suffer less from these things because they have a longer history and have more guild-like working practices, where professional behavior is more clearly defined. In tech people get away with wildly unprofessional behavior as long as "they get stuff done", and personally I never felt that was acceptable.

Maybe this stuff is also sort of everywhere. Plenty of industries have toxic working relationships. Why isn't professionalism part of standard education tracks? I studied CS and I never learned about what it means to be a professional software developer. How do you have productive conversations with coworkers? How do you organize your work effectively? All of these things you're supposed to figure out on your own, but looking around I can tell that mostly people never do, or only do so after decades of getting it wrong.
Yes they work. The only thing you have to watch out for is the timing for the assertions with

.waitForElementVisible('[name="main"]', 10000)

otherwise you sometimes check for a value in a field, but the field is not there yet, and the test fails.

That's the only gotcha we found we have to be careful about.
No, you are certainly not correct, although right now I would be happy to balance the very unequal distribution of knowledge you and I have on this subject (although I am far from being an expert myself), because I feel like Richard Dawkins debating evolution with some Christian from Kansas who insists there is no evidence for evolution because that's what they read on a Christian website that scientifically debunks evolution. Seriously, you are so engaged with a topic that you clearly haven't even bothered to read a couple of Wikipedia articles about.
Not sure if it helps though. It has been so long since they have experienced a tough life, levels may already gone back to same levels as others.
I'm not using React for another reason. I don't agree with the way they treat their users (i.e., as a product).
Person sues powerful firm for rightful reasons → powerful firm hires people to stir the mud → mud-stirrers create controversy → story now has "two sides" → balance fallacy causes powerful firm to come out on top in the public eye.

I think it's also important to remember this pattern. It's been coming up a lot in recent years.
The same as that of most researchers: that his conclusions are scientifically problematic, but regardless of their merit, they are ultimately irrelevant to the issue of sexism, which is far better established, seems to have a much bigger effect, and can and should be rectified regardless of other possible contributing factors. That there are other causes for cancer is irrelevant to the issue of whether the chemical plant should be allowed to dump waste in the river. Certainly, the possible existence of those other causes must not be used as an excuse to allow the plant to continue polluting.
Not arguing against that, however Visual Studio has lots of windows eg NCrunch runner, output, solution overview in addition to editor(s).

The ultrawide allows for this nicely; tests on the left, two actual editors, solution explorer on right, and output at the bottom under the editors.
It's largely to do with standard library class loading. The only way to avoid this is an alternate compilation model, like GCJ (and other native code compilers) or Dalvik.
No one is asking the tech industry to hire more women engineers than there are graduates. It might just be nice to have a bit fewer women report such horrible experiences working in the industry, so that maybe we'll have more graduates, which everybody should agree is a good thing.
Presumably it isn't easy to start everything the JVM needs & does in effectively no time. Although to be fair it actually is fairly quick for a "hello world" type program - much of the startup time of Java programs tends to be loading bytecode of their dependencies rather than starting the JVM itself.
I agree. But it's useful to adhere to this philosophy while single. It improves your job mobility a lot.

If you can tell your potential employer that you can fly to country X any time as you just put all your things into a single suitcase, it makes it much easier to relocate for jobs around the world.

Once you settle down and have family / children, obviously you will probably stop moving around and probably stay in a single place for a long time and only move once in a decade or so.
Understanding Asymmetric Numeral Systems

It's useful to separate mantra and intent, here. Yes, separation of concerns is a useful thing, but if you just take it to mean that no logic should ever be involved in your templates, you're taking it too far and unnecessarily complicating things. If a section of the page is scrollable or expandable, the scroll and expansion state (and event-handlers) clearly live in the presentation layer and don't belong in any of the data model. (They aren't the only examples, but they are ones that most people accept.)

Custom Elements is the low-level API that allows you to do all kinds of things.

Polymer is designed to sit on top of that as a higher-level API.

This is how things should be. Otherwise you get designed into an undesirable corner. (Example: I can imagine improvements to the Polymer code achieved with decorators and TypeScript, for example, which would require a somewhat different API. To need a translation layer over that for evermore is undesirable.)

Best Legal Tips for Starting a Small Business
You mark your comment as sarcasm, but that point has been made seriously many times. There's no discrimination if you're part of the powerful majority, even if as an individual you're powerless. It's fair or it isn't, IDK, but it's no joke, that's for sure.
She was offered a multi-million payoff to stay silent.

Sure, maybe she believes her book will earn her more. But she'd need to write the #1 or 2 non-fiction book of the year to get there.
Assuming this is all true, it would confirm my suspicion that when people talk about techbros, they're talking about the rich 0.001% handling the money rather than the vast bulk of the sector. Conflating the two is eminently useful to some, but it has no bearing on most of the people here. It's a fight of the elite, using popular talking points and media influence to wage a battle using the reputations of tens of thousands as crass collateral.

Aside from a workplace fling with one sleazeball, apparently there's a seedy pleasure trip she didn't get invited on and a plate of cookies. Then the corporate ass covering when she started making a fuss in a company handling millions of dollars.

However, let's face it, competing at that level requires a certain kind of drive and ruthlessness, and it'd be naive to assume Pao is somehow exempt from this.

It's an excerpt from her book, published to promote said book. Of course it's going to be 100% sympathetic. Here's a more neutral take on things, which includes the portion conspicuously omitted here: the lawsuits her husband's embroiled in, and the plus hundred of millions he potentially defrauded pension funds of, which incidentally lines up with Pao's sought damages.

They sound like they deserve each other, and are eminently capable of playing their victim cards for full effect to paper over their own mistakes.

You'd be surprised how little music "gigabytes" is. 8 years ago my friend once decided to listen to every song in his music library in order, only took him 2 months.

I have thousands of albums in my google play account, go through spurts of adding more, and constantly listen to the whole collection on shuffle. It shows how many times each song has been listened to, it's rare for me to ever see a song without at least one play.
I think the line of thinking was to try and reduce the number of desks/space needed.

The idea I think - and it is perfectly valid idea - is that most of the time only ever about 70-90% of people based in an office are actually physically there. The rest of the time they are on vacation/training/client-meetings/working from another office/working from home etc.

So there are a LOT of empty desks any day of the week, so why pay for office space to accommodate all of your staff when it is very, very rare for 100% of people to be there?

I understand the rationale, but in practice it really sucked.

Some suggestions for improving non-designated seating would be:

* Run things at a more generous margin (e.g. space for 90% of employees rather than 75% - made up numbers but you get the idea)

* Sort out issues with equipment - either through daily checks of everything or a more stream-lined approach to getting faults fixed (i.e. dont go through "raising a ticket" ball-ache, but something like put a rubber-duck on the desk or something then someone comes and checks out everything, or have floor-walkers who can be grabbed ad hoc)

* Have a STRICT no-camping policy, and clear the desks Every. Single. Day. so that anything left behind is put into lost property bins at the end of the day, then given to charity at the end of the month if not claimed.

* Clean & Tidy the desks up every day so it doesn't look like an explosion in a hacker's bedroom every morning.

* Anchor specific teams in specific area - i.e. allow people to go anywhere if they want, but give some teams designated spaces where they get priority - e.g. "This is the QA team area", or "This is the test team area".

* Allow people who need specialist equipment (e.g. developers) to have fixed desks with their equipment.
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it.
A Study of 16 Countries Shows That the Most Productive Firms Are Pulling Away
Yes, that's easy, but adding something to your model just because your view wants it rather seems like the cart driving the horse. If your view needs something that your model otherwise has no use for, then it does not belong in the model.
Multiplayer long-running competitive games in which you kill/consume other players to become stronger, generally. Agar.io was among the first, and is mostly representative of the "genre" - people wrote a pile of clones, improvements, rethinks, etc, mostly with .io domains, so they wound up being called "io games".

Game Theory, is based on the premise that all individuals are selfish. It makes sense in an atomised society, where all relationships are utilitarian. It's an economic theory, not a sociological one, and it breaks down once you factor in actual "society" as a premise. If you take the position that society exists first, then the individual rather than the other way round it all becomes quite messy an unwieldy. A society will typically reject members that only take, and there are many studies (sorry, no citation at hand) that demonstrate this with animal groups and actual human groups. You "can" attempt to explain many social phenomena using game theory but you have to integrate all sorts of remote concepts in order to make it work.

Quite the opposite, in fact. And I don't know what you base your opinions on, because clearly, you know so little about the subject, having read no more than a couple of popular, very one-sided books. I find it mind-boggling how someone can read just one side of a debate and believe that they "debunked" the other side. But I'm guessing you probably also read Joy Christian's book and believe that that Bell's theorem has been "thoroughly debunked", and that those who contest that notion ignore the "actual science" and "actual arguments", and "vilify" Christian in some crazy emotional witch-hunt.

I hope you realize, however, that it is those who least have the fact on their side, yet constantly demand to be acknowledged, who claim that there's some witch-hunt against them, and that the reason they are not taken as seriously as they think they should be is because people are afraid of the truth.

The main problem with Pinker, BTW, is not at all the merit of his claims about biological inclination, but that none of that has anything to do with the undisputed, completely noncontroversial, and far better established fact that women have been socially marginalized from positions of power for centuries. Like in my allegory of the polluting plant, even if there are indeed other causes for cancer, that has very little to do with the demand that the plant stop dumping chemical waste in the river. Waving science supporting the claim that there are other causes for cancer as an excuse to continue polluting shows a very basic misunderstanding of the issue. My goal is not to prove that there are no innate psychological differences between men and women; it is to end the marginalization of women that no doubt exists, regardless of whether or not those innate differences are real (what's funny is that even those who believe they are real, don't notice that the effect size they claim to find doesn't even come close to explaining the situation on the ground, nor that it is constantly changing).
To all people who write React-alternatives: please modularize as much as possible. For example, JSX-like syntax is not necessary and some developers might not want to use it; therefore, it should be in a separate module that is completely optional. Also, the virtual-DOM part may be useful in itself, therefore it should also be a separate module. React offers some tools to more easily manage state, but please acknowledge that there are developers out there that have even smarter ways to deal with state.
