> But for accomplished women who successfully traverse the waters of a mating pool unfairly stacked against them, mating triumph at the individual level typically takes precedence over loftier goals of reducing societal-level inequality when the two come into conflict.

It's wrong to characterize the pool as "unfairly" stacked against them; they could choose to date men with lower incomes or less education.

Yes, people who are highly motivated and go through months of intensive language immersion training followed by several years of immersive missionary work in a foreign country – where their full-time job and religious obligation is literally talking to strangers all day long – tend to learn the language quite well. Why would I be surprised about that?

What does that have to do with Wu? Presumably she never went through any similar experience, and her language skills have been largely driven by her own personal desire to communicate with foreigners rather than any structured program or religious duty. (I don’t know much about her, so maybe that’s wrong.)
Unawareness of Deep Learning Mistakes
this is indeed a cleaner example.

I think if you are diligent about your layout, you can separate out your DOM operations from your logic operations (think Flux) and end up with nice and simple code like this.

Personally I like the "rails" given to me in Angular/React (especially given I know how to circumvent them). I also am more productive in them. But I bet a lot of skilled programmers can go far with just simple tools like jQuery.

At least for me, having a paradigm enforced is useful, especially on larger projects with multiple stakeholders.
Given that the vast majority of situations in which you tip (notably waiters, waitresses and other staff) result in the tip being given after service, and not before, I'm OK with that.
The thing about browsers at the time - they were all free. Explorer, Netscape, Opera.

Netscape and Opera both charged money for their browsers when they came out. The price for a license at the time of the trial is irrelevant, it's what the price was when Microsoft's alleged infractions occurred. They became free of charge later (maybe; was Navigator ever free for commercial use?), and why do you think that was?
That's really only true if the multiplier is less than 1/30 per year of school, eg 3.3%. I have no data on this but I'm betting a year of college is higher.

I did a long phase of Java work and I found Clojure attractive. It worked pretty well for me.

I was thinking of doing more Clojure then I started getting a lot of client work in Python and I found that Python is a pretty good language with strong metaprogramming capabilities.

A long-term project I am working on requires the capabilities of Jupyter, Pandas, matplotlib, statsmodels, scikit-learn, etc. This does not exist in the JVM to the same level of maturity and switching to Python for this part has been a big win. I looked at Jython but found that many of the aforementioned tools involve the use of native code, FFI, Cython, etc. and thus would not be so portable to Jython.

So for me the problem is not that "Clojure sucks" but rather that "Python is competitive with Clojure"

Why doesn't anyone respond directly to this blogpost? You would think that, if the goal was to convince people to believe that Sexy Cyborg is completely authentic, maximum transparency would be the appropriate strategy. Instead what we see is maximum invective.

It doesn't make your case more convincing, I think, that you maneuver sideways into "so what if it's true, it doesn't matter." Two orthogonal arguments are usually not better than one.

> In naive OO examples (Animal -> Cat) it does.

An inheritance hierarchy consists of three things: a taxonomy, behavioural inheritance and structural inheritance. The first is only useful on occasion, and the last two don't even apply to Animal → Cat; "animal" is not a behavioural constraint, and a cat certainly doesn't have a platonic ideal of an animal hidden somewhere inside its gut.
So do I. Competition is better for everybody, including the competitors.

It's one of the drivers causing all developed countries to have a fertility rate below the replacement rate.

Japan's population, which is shrinking, worries about an aging majority without a base of young healthy workers who can support the economy and social programs. They are trying to mend this in the medium term by encouraging more women into the workforce, but, as we see from this article, that may have the unintended consequence of exacerbating the fertility crisis even further.
As someone who previously worked in this industry, I highly suggest that you consider purchasing your eyewear online (through a wholesaler like Zenni Optical, for example). Premiums or not, you're paying a huge markup for brick-and-mortar (plus the Luxottica tax) to buy in-person.

The only benefit to buying in-person is the ability to go back and exchange your glasses for a new prescription, but even if you do that twice and your optometrist charges you for a new exam each time, you'd still be saving money ordering online.

In cases where your exam nails your prescription the first time, it's drastically cheaper (more than one order of magnitude) to shop online. Bonus, you can afford to purchase several pairs of glasses to keep all over the place, ensuring a broken or lost pair is not a big deal.

Note, I only have experience with eyewear; I have never worn contacts, which may be a different story.

Isn't that what Lending Club is?

"Entropy may be understood as a measure of disorder within a macroscopic system. The second law of thermodynamics states that an isolated system's entropy never decreases. Such systems spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium, the state with maximum entropy."

They aren't able to suppress information completely which is why they resort to the sort of shambolic behaviour described in the article. They lost control of it when the internet became widespread and since then they've been trying their best to firewall and block and censor, for what? Why censor anything if there is no appetite for it anyway? We can assume therefore that there is some percentage of the Chinese population that wants to know and will know despite their governments efforts.

Even without radios, there are lots of different ways to get data in and out of an airgapped system.

I have thick glasses. i usually just order 4 different pairs online. it's about the same price, i have spares. there's a little variation, i'm not happy with every pair i have, but usually 2 or 3 are great. and if i have to i can still use that one pair that's a little off.
That's assuming the virtualization extensions are doing their job, and the other parts of the processor aren't leaking anything, and that Xen doesn't have any problems, and that the Qubes additions are solid, and that various interactions between these layers won't present any other problems, and probably a few other things...

I'd consider betting on one of those things being solid on its own, but not all of them together.

Basic income has to come from somewhere.

With those numbers, you kept about 54% of October's income.

So how is that split determined? That is, is it a fairly flat overhead so if the income had been $100,000, you still would have kept ~$4000? Or are you taking a percentage and it would have been ~$54,000?
Feel free to post better four-word descriptions

Microsoft Silverlight had a good overall idea, but bad implementation:

This certainly isn't how it goes outside of the US. Why should delivering food suddenly change this vs say driving a truck or car share?
Maybe it was upkeep-related? There's the phrase "untap, upkeep, draw" and all the "at the beginning of your next turn" cards refer to the upkeep phase if I'm not mistaken, maybe putting upkeep before untap or after draw would lead to some weird long-term mechanics.
I second that this was such a great read. I am normally pissed with diversity articles because it looks like they are complaining. I won't say complaining is wrong but it just isn't fun to read. On the other hand, bunny broke the whole issue so well. Amazing read.
someone who makes things
vision "insurance" isn't for reducing risk, it's actually a vehicle for delivering tax-free compensation by employers. since you're not paying income tax on the benefits, you're saving at least the marginal tax rate (~35% depending on the state). IANAL, but the arrangement might also cause no sales tax to be collected. also, your employer who's buying in bulk presumably gets a % discount over whatever rate the blog's quoting. in the end, i would be surprised if there wasn't a net savings.
Ask HN: How do you deal with operational work as a software engineer?
As a software engineer doing infrastructure work I often find myself working on operational stuff (mostly chasing weird bugs, some on-call, etc.). In my position I am also expected to release features and do development too, but I feel like it's very difficult to focus because of all the operational issues I am dealing with. How are you guys dealing with that sort of work?
Full disclosure: I'm a long time sponsor (https://rollbar.com/) and supporter of Code Sponsor. It's a fantastic resource for the Open Source community, notably the smaller, independent projects. Supporting OS sustainability while generating awareness for Rollbar was a total no-brainer decision. The transparency in the system between sponsor and project owner is exceptional. They've built an interesting, novel solution to help ease any burden felt, maintaining and growing a project. Bravo!
At least videos have these options of pausing and looping.

Gifs generally don't pause unless you have some hacks, let alone looping in gifs is a hard coded value within the image, meaning it's entirely optional, but within the export process.

This is almost nothing compared to the savings you make in download times though. Video is a much more modern solution, that's why imgur transcode all their large gifs to webm+mp4

I'm not sure how "// request.user will be undefined or { id, uname }" is any more future durable or omniscient than `Request.User : Guest | LoggedIn User`.

The latter just encodes the possible states directly and explicitly.

Your line of reasoning is like saying that Mongo lets you adapt to future requirements better than Postgres because you don't have a schema.
I agree that the pricing models for these kind of products are awful.
I have VSP insurance and got some new glasses recently. The staff was pushing Flexon frames because she said they were priced better for my insurance. I only found out later that Flexon is a company owned by VSP insurance. Now I figured out how they make money on the small little they charge for insurance coverage monthly through my employer.
> Some shoppers have taken to individually showing their customers how to remove the fee ("Do you want to know how to save 10 percent?") and pay their shopper directly via tip instead.

This -- just remove the parasites. If you, as an insta-serf, can tell your customer that "the retail price is $X, you're being charged $Y, and I'm being paid $Z," you can become a true "independent contractor" by cutting InstaSerf, Inc. out of the equation. If the difference is greater than zero, split it.

Competition drove the price to 0. Isn't that great? Linux was free then, too. I didn't think that was dastardly, either. Nearly all the software I use today has a price of $0.

You are right about upper ear response.

I can tell the difference with my now-old ears, if it is a good recording of real-world instruments in a common space.

That is a lot of qualifiers, but on playback you can ‘feel’ that other space.

I believe that it is because of the way that the higher frequency components of the sound interact with the environment and effectively down-transpose and affect the rest of the signal before they hit the listener’s ear.

I never understood how throwing in a free browser was detrimental to me. The kerfluffle over uninstalling it was irrelevant, too. Don't like it? Don't use it. It wasn't necessary to uninstall it. So what if it sits there on the disk. I don't use probably 90% of Windows/Linux/OSX, but it doesn't disturb me that they sit on the disk. I currently have both Chrome and Explorer installed on my Windows box. Sometimes I use one, sometimes the other. So what.
Many Chromebooks in schools are already running on Rockchip ARM processors.
Ahhh. That rabbit hole is deep. Buckle up if you're going in because it starts ugly and gets worse.

I've spent quite some time exploring the caverns of XACML (eXtensible Access Control Markup Language), even going so far as writing a limited implementation of it in JavaScript. It's infinitely flexible, extremely capable, horrendously complex, and just about the least fun standard to work with. Sure as heck gets the job done though. Just get yourself used to writing and debugging XML and you'll be fine.

I've also looked in great detail at Amazon's IAM policies. These are significantly simpler, and heavily inspired my current favourite library, ladon [1]. I recently wrote a GraphQL API and I found that GraphQL mutations and field accesses mapped nicely to policies in ladon.
