> Oh, so just garden variety tech feminism then.

Dismissing opnions you disagree with as inconsequential or belonging to some agenda is essentially the core of political correctness. (At least if with the definition of "things hard to talk about", rather than which words to use).

> So what specifically do we need to do in tech?

What to do isn't the problem. Not only can you find far better writing on the subject in the wild, but there are people are already doing it. But since you are asking I will give you an example.

Hacker culture puts a large, disproportionately so even, emphasis on hobbyism. Stories like the one in the article, getting started when you were young and not doing much else are meriting. For a women to have be able have the same experience they would have to engage in a largely male dominated culture at an age (as in seniority) when many boys nor girls aren't particularly sociable with people of the opposite sex and when fitting in is especially important. So when we value things in computer culture other than things with technical merit and instead put merit in peoples backgrounds or the tools they use we do so with a culture that largely isn't accessible to women.

Maybe that is vague to you, but not everything is clear cut. As a said, people doing things change this. They give girls opportunities to get excited by technology in their own way. They give women from other fields a chance to get acclimated at tech companies on their own terms. They try to emphasis the things you can do with technology instead of the culture etc.
ECC us unlikely to be worth the inflated price, too.

A slightly slower CPU can be had for a significantly lower price. GPUs are a lot more important to most workloads.

... But I didn't mention any of those.

The only reason for an expensive motherboard is to use multiple video cards.

>$200 is not a good price for a PSU. 1000watt is absolutely unnecessary unless you need to power 3-4 GPUs.

My point is that you can easily build a very similar system for half the price. This isn't the rattly '90s. $5000 is a lot for one PC.

If you want to shell out $3700 on PC components, you can build a much more powerful system, especially when you start putting in more GPUs.
Is English your native language? I definitely have friction switching my focus to the other person, but it's not to the extent that I can't literally understand them.

Regardless, I agree with afarrell: explain this to your wife so she can understand your behavior. If you've never explained it, she likely doesn't understand.
If you buy a workstation from HP/Supermicro, then you get something much more powerful for the same price.

Not really. Go to HPs site and put together something like a z640 with as similar spec as possible and you're close to $4k before even adding a screen.
Even outside Web, you still have mostly-ASCII:

* filenames

* identifiers

* config files

* text protocols

* host names, email addresses

* embedded scripts (including SQL and OpenGL shaders)

* command line interfaces

* translations for languages using Latin alphabets

I don't think 2/3 size reduction for some languages will offset the cost in all the other places.
There are non-chemical ways of treating ADHD (which is what Adderall is generally prescribed for. I am not aware of any disease for which bears are a generally accepted treatment, however), so I suspect that non-chemical techniques to combat ADHD may also work for those who's attention issues don't rise to the level of having been professionally diagnosed.

Diet is a big one. No (extra) sugar - definitely no soda, cut back on the dessert, no fruit - it's just dessert vegetables).
No caffeine - a large highly caffeinated Philz coffee is the legal equivalent of a small amount of meth. No alcohol either.

Get enough sleep every night.

Get enough physical exercise to take the edge off.

No background TV noise. Dim the lights.

Get out in nature, which is generally less stimulating - fewer brightly colored billboards, cars, amplified music, etc.

Google has a large list for those that don't want to resort to Adderall.

I suspect there might be a middle ground between the libertarian/individualist "people are competent, rational agents and you're on your own" and treating people as children.

We might, for example, recognize that many people, even competent adults, can be quite bad at dealing with awkward or hostile social situations, and can use help.

My personal anecdotal experience is that people that say they are social justice warriors, including my cousin, tend to not engage well in the conversations that facilitates equality by building mutual empathy. It is very hard to meet the person in front of you for whom they express themselves to be when you already made up your mind on who they are before they opened their mouth.

Don't get me wrong, I donate the the ACLU to protect the speech of the social justice warriors of the world and any other exclusive world-view. However, it is important that we protect ourselves from being limited to these exclusive world-views and refuse that they limit us from exploring possible different solutions. Protecting our democracy is messy and hard.
Exactly my thought. I guess that would mean it would need some intimate knowledge of the target site this reducing the scalability of the attack. But then again, thee are some clever people out there who could automate it.

I'd say that a bad marriage is a zero-sum game, but a good marriage results in both sides ending up better than they started.

I don't know you or your wife and can't presume to tell you how or whether to fix the situation (assuming it could be), but the lesson I learned long ago regarding relationships is to honestly evaluate yourself and define your capabilities and needs (not wants, but the things you absolutely require) and to either have your partner do the same (or less optimally evaluate them yourself as best you can). If you have a need that cannot be realistically satisfied by the _current_ capabilities of your partner, or vice versa, then end the relationship as quickly as you can. Attempting to have a relationship with someone who does not satisfy your needs, or you cannot satisfy theirs, is a doomed effort and the longer you remain in the relationship the worse and more hostile it will become. Walk away as friends before you build up resentments and end up leaving as enemies.

> ECC ram

I'm not sure how Apple has people convinced they need ECC. It's practically worthless outside of very specific workloads. A workstation user does not fill several gigabytes of RAM with terse important data, query it millions of times/day, and do so 24/7 all year long.
Widening our spheres of empathy means we can't predicate empathy on finding a label that fits people into an orthodox feminist understanding of privilege.

The key takeaway from Farrell's book is that men also suffer. We need to become OK with having compassion for men, full stop. Even the men for whom we cannot apply an additional qualifier like "neuroatypical".
A lot of old point-to-point wiring and soldering does typically look kind of terrible compared to modern day electronics, probably because it was assembled by hand by workers just trying to crank stuff out out as fast as possible.
This article is nonsense. It completely ignores the incredible role Universities have played in technology and science. It attacks the "catastrophic intellectual failures of the social sciences" while implying that, somehow, this would have been done so much better in a Vienna-like cafe. Notwithstanding Austria's shocking capitulation to Hitler at the height of Cafe life, or its mistreatment of many of these same Viennese intellectuals, most of whom were forced to flee Vienna.

Universities may have their flaws, but they are the best chance for merit to triumph over elitism.

Nate Silver has written a lot on his blog recently about how difficult it is to get people to think statistically. As an example, when he predicted Trump had a 30% chance of winning people complained that he was wrong because he had said Hillary would win and she hand't. Likewise, I fear that if you tell people that Group A is 20% more likely to X than group B what will be remembered is that A's do X but Bs don't.
This week I made hyperactiv, a super small reactive library written in less than 120 lines of code.

Basically hyperactiv observes object mutations and computes functions depending on those changes.

The key point is that the library is smart enough to remember the dependencies, meaning that you never have to specifiy which function depends on which observed property.

A typical use case would be to create a smart reactive store which re-renders your web framework components when needed. For React, a small wrapper takes only 18 additional lines of code.

Feedback is appreciated !

> It's also interesting how perception of these bottlenecks differs. I wouldn't care much if tests are running 30% slower, I run them in the background from my editor anyway. I usually tidy up stuff in the meanwhile or git stage some lines (which needs to be done anyway).

Heh. I do that too, but I'm anxious enough that I rerun tests after finalizing the commit. I'll still use the time for the tests to finish to do another read through the commit, but especially when pushing to many supported branches at the same time, tests still take longer (work on a pg, which has 5 years of supported back branches...).

> However, if an editor has a higher latency than I am used to, it drives me crazy.

Oh yea, but I wouldn't use a web based editor, ever ;). The point I was trying to make was less about something as central as an editor - where I spent a lot of my time, fighting for first place besides terminals - but more around secondary non-critical path stuff like IM.
It does make it more likely that a compatible replacement can be found on the market, though.

He's right though. The typical meaning of "bullshit" is "usage of jargon to exclude from the discussion those who aren't skilled in said jargon, and to make things look more complicated than they are to the outside observer".

Many (not all) of those speaking the jargon when it's inappropriate do so knowingly, but there is indeed a significant percent of people who are so used to the jargon that they don't realize when it's inappropriate.
You really aren't giving people enough credit here. You don't have to be at the top of an org to know the nuances of your own job. There are tons of people who work hard and are interested in their job beyond trying to "avoid getting fired." Don't rule people out so easily...literally everyone knows something you don't.
That version exists - it's called equals(), and it generates different code that doesn't need to distinguish the less than/greater than cases.

> How well did you "learn" Apache Groovy?

I'm not sure. I did it because of Jenkins Pipeline DSL; I learned enough to write ~400 loc of a build script from scratch. I was able to de-sugar the DSL and wrap raw APIs with a DSL of my own design (I'd say that I "wrote a couple of helper functions", but the former sounds way cooler...). I did stumble upon some gotchas - the difference between `def` and simple assignment when the target changes, for example.

EDIT: I wonder, is that level of proficiency enough for you to at least drop the scare quotes around "learn"? I feel that putting the quotes there is rather impolite.

> did you skim some docs and just learn what Groovy should be?

As I elaborate on in the comment below, there are different levels of proficiency and I never claimed mastery - just a basic proficiency allowing me to read all of the language constructs and write, as mentioned, a simple script from scratch, with the help of the docs.

> And did you already know any Java beforehand?

Well, a bit, although I didn't work with it professionaly in the last decade. However, knowing Java wouldn't be enough to make learning Groovy that fast - I have another trump card up my sleeve when it comes to learning programming languages. You might be interested in a section of my blog here: https://klibert.pl/articles/programming_langs.html if you want to know what it is. To summarize: I simply did it more than 100 times already.

They are implemented in different ways, depending on the instrinsic.

Many are implemented in the in-memory intermediate SSA (?) representation the JVM uses for its JIT, so they essentially get compiled down to assembly at the same time as the surrounding bytecode.

Some are implemented as jumps to various native methods, which in turn might be implemented in C++ or assembly. Most intrinsics are available on most platforms: only some of the hand-coded assembly versions are less likely to have wide support.
Some of them have wings:

Get out of the library and start talking to people in that field. It will take some time and have some slow starts, but the only way you learn about an industries inefficiencies and its opportunities is by hitting the pavement.

You’ll need some explanation “story” to help people understand your intentions. I am upfront and say I am interested in their space personally, and I’m looking for business opportunities - but I Don’t Know What I Don’t Know, and therefore I’m in listening mode.

With your example:
Go to the stall owners, and ask if you can talk when they’re not busy. Ask little, listen a lot. Stand there for hours and observe the different stalls. Take notes.

Map out the different players, and ask to talk to them. Eventually you’ll get connected to events that they attend, and they’ll also pass you along to their peers. Ask what conferences they attend and so on.
Since when have computers been “basically built for copying”? Computers are designed for computing, from the Turing Machine onwards storage and duplication have merely been instruments and steps (respectively) towards achieving universality. The idea of a computer as a communication device came relatively late in the game (most of Shannon's Information Theory's applicability to computation was to infra-computer communication between circuits, or transmission “down time”, meaning storage and delay loops), and not to intra-computer communication.

Yes, modern computers are effective communication devices and the idea of networking has become almost indelibly welded to the idea of computation, but on a theoretical level they are absolutely distinct, and it's probably an accident of history that the two concepts ended up entwined. That's why there's lambda calculus for making statements about computing and pi calculus for making statements about process communication.

Ask HN: What concepts one has to be aware to be claimed as core python developer
I have been using python for almost 4 years. But I still feel I am naive in python. How can I improve my understanding of python and how it works internally.
Some of the concepts I am referring are:

1)How actually "sets" works to store only unique things?

2)What is the role of hashing in python?

3)Why people are saying python is slow?

4)what makes the numpy arrays faster than core python arrays?

5)What is the purpose of adding "compile()" function in the python core?

6)What is the exact problem with python threads?

These are some of the questions I ignored but just used it. Instead I want to know/get answers for the questions like these?

Why affirmative action? Because if one person takes everything from another person, is it fair to say "you know, that was bad, and it shouldn't have happened, but since that's in the past we should just make sure that we treat both of them the same now"?

(I will also note that all the work I see being done to end 'regular' discrimination, a.k.a get to the state where we do see people as individuals and don't act based on racial biases, is being done by the left. The arguments that affirmative action is a bad distraction from our current utopian racial blindness that we should 'continue' are based on a baffling disregard for all the evidence for the current existence of racism).

The percentage of people who instantly divulge their roots as outside the bay area are pretty small- it's not a helpful attribute in terms of employability, or even really making friends.

In order for most people who read this question to have a meaningful answer, they'd have to a) work with a lot of them, and b) know they're working with a lot of them.

I'm sure the demographics will show that they skew more young, more educated, more wealthy, more single, and more asian than those currently in the bay. An amazing number (amazing to me at least) have a "deal" on housing by relatives or friends letting them couchsurf or use the spare room.
