This is really tangential, sorry, but I'd like to mention that the (US) military is strongly opinionated in a relatively small number of ways. Additionally, the rules are self-enforced throughout most of its structure, and almost none of the rules being broken will cause the system or its components to fail. The US military is actually incredibly flexible, because the (mostly) self-enforced strong opinions inform the decisions of subsets of the military all the way down to the individual level, allowing each component to be effective almost regardless of the health of the rest of the system. SOAP was incredibly inflexible. I think perhaps a better analogy would be to compare SOAP to some defense contractors, where things must work a certain way, or they grind to a halt and become very expensive to debug and triage. Also, incidentally, I'm interested to hear about your experiences with gRPC. I have just played with it, but it sounds like you had some issues scaling with it? Or didn't like it so much? I much prefer REST because of its inherent flexibility, as you do, but I am interested to hear from people who scaled with gRPC.
> I think the chilling effect is already here now. Nobody will say it, nobody would admit to it and commit career suicide, but I have no doubt countless startups, corps, research groups will just not hire any women in the wake of this debate.

I don't think that is probable unless you are a man who has a sexual problem and fears reprisal, which is somebody toxic trying to hide.

Just to clarify sexual harassment isn't something confined to men in power and isn't just a women's problem.

This is stupid easy. Don't make sexual advances at work. Not even it is just joking around. Don't touch your coworks on the ass, kiss them, or any other anything else like that. Any form of affection should be something that is ok in front of your spouse and the news media.

If you do fear reprisal then always meet with your coworkers in public spaces, with doors open, and ensure a third party is in view. Don't hide anything. Again, stupid simple.

If after that you are still afraid then just be unemployed, because you shouldn't be around other people.
This is old. And for some reason people(journalist) seems to beleive the guy is right. When really if nobody comfirm what you say it's most likely because you are wrong.

The inability to clear dust on Bitcoin is a serious problem. It's fragmentation, for your money, that makes it impossible to spend (given the current fee structure, which has been defined as "normal" now that Bitcoin is "digital gold" rather than a transmission network).

It's like every time you buy something, the change just disappears, and once a week you have to spend another $20 to sweep it up. This is not how currency is supposed to work, and it's been retconned as somehow being a good thing.

Don't hate on me for stating the obvious here. Whatever happened to the "no fees" that advocates like Marc Andreesen were promoting circa-2014?

> There was too much data pointing to the biological basis of sex-based cognitive differences to ignore, Halpern says. For one thing, the animal-research findings resonated with sex-based differences ascribed to people. These findings continue to accrue. In a study of 34 rhesus monkeys, for example, males strongly preferred toys with wheels over plush toys, whereas females found plush toys likable. It would be tough to argue that the monkeys’ parents bought them sex-typed toys or that simian society encourages its male offspring to play more with trucks. A much more recent study established that boys and girls 9 to 17 months old — an age when children show few if any signs of recognizing either their own or other children’s sex — nonetheless show marked differences in their preference for stereotypically male versus stereotypically female toys...

I believe that some of the best "literary" fiction is also science fiction. For example much of George Orwell and Ray Bradbury, also Kurt Vonnegut, Ursula LeGuin. If you allow for the term "speculative fiction," you really start netting a huge catch. And more and more books once dismissed as "mere" genre titles will be considered to have "literary merit", however vague and dissatisfying that term may be. Isaac Asimov might be an example, also Tolkein.
Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode where you could block people. Sounds horrible.
it seems fair to avoid men because almost all child pornographers are male.

Paedophilia is quite common amongst women, it just tends not be called that. Search the newspapers for stories of female teachers sleeping with under-age male pupils and you will encounter many such stories. So this claim seems rather outrageous and also false. If you can't find any such stories I will be happy to provide example links later.
Just implemented a List in OOP, just to proof a (different) point.

Everything is way more "disconnected" in OOP. For example I have to implement length in both the classes EmptyElement (0) and Element (1+next->length()). Both belong together, but they are scattered across the source code. With clean like syntax i would have written them right next to each other.

It's not my intention to not work with women. I do collaborate with women. I am just saying if I am being put in a position of power in teaching, and I can choose between male and female undergrads, I would rather not be in a position of power over females in this current climate because we are at a hyper-sensitive stage.

There is no specific gain for them being taught by me instead of a female PhD student, and there is only risk for me, so all things being equal, I am suggesting that this is a stance many men might being to take or at least find themselves wondering about.
This is consistent with my experience.

One element of it is also that in many cases the path to "becoming big" starts with bootstrapping and experimental projects that you may not know if it is going to survive and exist in a few years or if you are going to throw it away in 3 months.

So in those cases you may still choose to be scrappy, knowing that it will come back to bite you, but at that stage that is thought of the success scenario and a good problem to have (if it happens at all).

This is in contrast to large serious projects for large existing companies where you can much more confidently know that X and Y are going to be required because from day 1 you know the project is not just some casual thing.

This is also why I think the software creation process and tools need to seriously think about having adjustable safety/pain knobs to allow for cheap scrappy prototyping but also allow to tighten the screws for production.

You can kind of see a glimpse of this between various programming languages, particularly in their type system. But the general concept is broader than just that.
Editors talk at parties, just like everyone else. If you're invited to a publishing house's christmas party you'll chitchat and learn factoids like that one. (You may also meet your future wife. I did.)

As to how they'd know: Editors are the people who effectively decide what books are published. Their income depends on their insight into customer behaviour. Wouldn't you try to learn why books are bought?
this kind of retroactive changes to their policies with regards to supercharges can end up biting them in the butt. it demonstrates that they consider nearly all promises changeable.

There are many interesting comments in this thread, and I think the posters (men) who are opining in specifically this thread are doing so in a safe place: under a story about sexual harrassment by a female politician.

As a man, I can say with certainty that what women want conflicts. This is because there is not just 1 woman in the world, with 1 opinion.

Women are different and want and require different things.

Women, like men, also adapt to workplace and political policies, the sentiment in the air.

These policies do not exist. There is not a single sane, normative guideline anyone can read anywhere on Earth.

It's a joke.

Reading about sexual politics is like Googling how to do cocaine or something. Obviously people do it all over the world but it's a vastly illegal thing that if discussed anywhere is in hushed voices, and very dangerous to talk about.

I am not going to give any of my opinions here but if you want to take one thing from my comment it's "Nobody is right, when everyone is wrong."

Everyone (men and women) who is a hackernews reader is a genius scientist who is among the smartest people on Earth. Let's identify that we do not have good algorithms, that fairly get men and women what they want, need, and benefit from, privately, professionally, sexually, romantically, without putting anyone at risk of something negative.

I can directly quote asking (anonymously over the Internet) two similar, professional women the same question and getting two opposite normative answers. Our "emotional intelligence" isn't necessarily the highest as programmers and hackers, it is less social than some fields, so we are at a disadvantage coming up with the correct policies. On the other hand we're smarter and fairer, and want a better world, we're way better than the rest of the Internet and society. Whatever we want and build becomes the fabric of society just a few years later.

We don't know what we want, the data conflicts, we can't talk about it. It's a huge problem.

> And who makes money from our worrying about cell phone cancer?

Every news outlet that got clicks on the subject. The Worry Industry, broadly. Why do you think people took the time to report on it? Altruism? Boredom? You think techcrunch.com is a hobby? Every day these people go to work and identify click bait so they can keep their jobs. Many people make money from this.
I asked how they are supposed to know. Saying that their job depends on insight into customers isn't explaining how they know. The only explanation you provide is: from taking to people at parties. I fail to see how that is supposed to provide insight into how many books purchased by the public at large are bought with no intention of being read.

Let's consider the problem. Presumably the majority of people who buy books that they have no intention of ever reading would never admit to that fact. How do you then figure out the numbers of such purchases? (Remember that the comment I originally replied to gave specific figures). How does being an editor somehow give you any meaningful insight into those figures?

I didn't say anything about the left. The comment I replied to mentioned the right pretends to care about freedom of speech until they have real political power. From my perspective they don't care about it regardless of their political power and they don't even pretend to.
Yep, v57.
> This is stupid easy. Don't make sexual advances at work.

Yet if you're a male, you can still end up falsely accused of sexual harassment,
because she didn't like you, she wants your position, she misunderstood you,
or she was just a bitch who likes undeserved attention, ruining somebody's
life in the process. There were examples of that, and while I don't claim they
were numerous, they are the source of the chilling effect.
The "force to think" part gets real old real fast though.

It's fine, people can understand "this function does network I/O so be careful".
When you want to process a sequence of vectors while incorporating information from a second sequence, you use attention. Attention means you create a weighted sum of all vectors in the second sequence for each vector in the first sequence. You basically add a customized summary vector of the second sequence to each vector of the first.

You have to define every mutation you need, whereas with REST it's a bit more generic.

I think the two are equivalent, but the more mutations you need, the more complex your GraphQL schema becomes.
It would be pretty cool for someone to step up and make a few of these, but they would need to be prepared to be mildly inundated with orders.

Someone should tell Casio about this, and forward them http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv018.cg... as an example of what can happen when insiders successfully pull strings.

In this particular case the poster in the linked thread worked deep inside HP and lobbied hard to get an SDK released and manufacture the calculator with a nondescript set of pins inside the battery compartment that permitted reflashing.

The result was the "WP 34s" firmware: https://commerce.hpcalc.org/34s.php is a basic overview (unknown if clicking Order works, email first) and https://sourceforge.net/projects/wp34s/ has full source code, details - and emulators for Linux/Windows/macOS that Just Work™, I might add.

This firmware was written from scratch - the SDK provided a functioning compiler and basic architectural info about the calculator, but no sample code. The above firmware was thus written entirely from scratch. It implements all standard functionality (re-implements, heh) as well as a number of advanced fan-built features (more info at the SF link above).

IIUC, the HP-20b is sadly no longer in active production, so getting one's hands on this interesting bit of kit is tricky. But despite the fact that this never really made headline news the whole venture worked perfectly. Thought I'd mention it.

As for what I think Casio should do: the TL;DR is that it's really, really hard to do things that are offensive or damaging from a business standpoint with a 8-char 7-segment LCD and a tiny keypad. This isn't a smartwatch with a full-color LCD. So there's that.

The real problem is that, well, what little market demand is left for wrist calculator watches is now split between the option of purchasing a smartwatch instead. So demand would be probably within the <2%-of-entire-market range.

But if there happen to have any active production lines still producing these calculator watches, I can totally see Casio being able to very cheaply swap in a PCB with something like what OP has created.

NB. Since I have no idea how far this comment could reach - by all means copypasta.
Yes, I'm assuming REST is easier because of tools like curl, postman and even the major browsers with HTTP GET and great dev tools.

With RPC your consumers probably need to know some coding and even maybe a specific language, a framework or a library.

So yes, for me REST is easier, and I always love to see landing pages like this one - https://freegeoip.net - where the client can test the API in a few seconds by copying an example to its browser address line. This is a simple use case, but I hope you get my meaning.
So what? The GP said the right pretends to care, I say they don't even do that. Other views on the political spectrum have nothing to do with this.
I suppose I'd better ask. Look here again in a day or two, please.
> You're assuming you want your API to work with a specialized crawler, like Google-bot.

Not really, I just don't

In general, the key point as about working in a generic way, given that it's so simple.

I don't like the idea of returning a human readable message that says there was an error but a machine readable message that says everything was fine. I have far too many cases of having to deal with human text explaining that a value is missing already in my data.
Came to make this exact point. Use a framework to automatically give you a solid, dependable REST api focussed purely on crud operations on your core data model. Anything weirder than that (which I don’t believe will be ten times the volume for the vast majority of use cases), do in the cleanest way possible, even if that means you end up with a non-REST api wrapping a core RESTful one.

You need about 1kg of lithium per kWh of battery, which is not nothing but Lithium is common and not used up by battery's making this far less significant than many assume. It's actually fairly common, we have ~700 times as much carbon but coal is 32$ per ton and the United States produces 1 billion tons of coal per year. Divide that by ~700 and your talking about a billion 1kwh batteries per year before recycling comes into play.
Unless a survey asks specially about whether a person bought a book with no intention of ever reading it AND people actually provide an honest answer to that question, then I can't see how a survey could provide the answers.

I don't see how NN would slow down breaking monopolies. The cost of complying with NN for new ISPs is negligible. And what do you mean by government "controlling" the internet?

> Search the newspapers for stories

Just want to point out that, while there are plenty of such stories, we can't use newspaper stories to quantify how many men versus how many women are found guilty of pedophilia. When a woman is guilty of pedophilia, it's newsworthy on a national level for being unusual. When a man is found guilty of pedophilia, it's treated like any commonplace murder or burglery.

The same is true for child molestation. Girls being victims of molestation is so commonplace the news barely covers it--and is even less likely to cover it if the victim is a minority, but boys being molested gets much more attention.
It exposes the accusation as being spurious and impetuous, and the accuser as being shallow, though, because whether the ‘crime’ actually occurred or not is now dependent on how attractive the woman judged the man to be.
