Typical UX design by an engineer as it is, with wrong assumptions about user expectations. The users of microwaves do not want to heat something to 100 degrees. They either want warm food or they want to cook. Warming means, that not only surface temperature measured by sensors has to be comfortable, but the temperature of the whole meal, which depends on thermal conductivity and penetration depth of microwaves for specific food and cannot be controlled by a sensor array alone. People will just hit "start" again, if they feel it's not ready.

For cooking people will either use recipe from a book provided with microwave and thus they need just a selection of a program, or they will use more advanced microwave with oven and will want to set temperature of the oven to something like 200 degrees for 40 minutes. In this case sensor would be useful, but it's already not a microwave story.
Not particular to the Google stuff, but more of a general observation:

I am very much in favor of ripping the hard work of well-intentioned people to sheds, if it deserved to be ripped to shreds, like e.g. the fine "make proper God-fearing Christians of all those dark-skinned heathens" (the missionaries were/still are quite often well-intentioned and hard-working).

Now, some of the stuff that is done, well-intentioned, in the tech industry to promote diversity and/or make the workplace a friendlier space for women and other groups may end up achieving opposite results, driving co-workers apart and making the work environment more toxic for everybody.

Therefore, we must be able to discuss and criticize any and all such programs, and therefore the hard work somebody put into them, and stop such programs if we determine a detrimental outcome.

Like in science: you prod and poke and even try to shred-rip a theory (somebody put a lot of effort into), and if that theory withstands it probably is solid and sound.

I think these kinds of antagonisms are central to American society. Other parts of the world often find them alien and incomprehensible.
I have aspergers, and empathize with the feeling that society doesn't much care about our struggle (or, for that matter, knows how to deal with anyone who isn't neurotypical).

One thing I have come to realize though (and I know this will be controversial on here) is that SV and tech in general is this special place where people with limited social skills can go to work for really high salaries to create things of often dubious societal value.

I remember reading in a similar article that many "classical-liberal" types think that the wage-gap between man and woman may be caused by the fact that woman are naturally less competitive. Meaning that they are less careerist. This is of course a failure of meritocracy, in the same way that charisma often trumps skill at a job (which is the big problem for anti social men).

Here is my point: we have these different failures of meritocracy affecting different people, but for people (mostly men) with aspergers there is this special, well paying, industry. So I don't know that we have it that bad, or that efforts to attract more woman (even if you consider the given reasons to be bogus) are really misguided.

The only thing that disappointed me about this article was that there wasn't enough David Foster Wallace.

> there is greater genetic variation within races than between them

This is true, which is why we can only say something useful about averages between populations, but not extrapolate to particular individuals.

> there has been no discovered correlation between certain genetic traits and success

This is very false. IQ is largely genetic, and the biggest predictor of life success of any kind, especially in relatively well developed societies.
We really have to stop seeing people as members of a group first and an individual second. It is lazy thinking.

I don't think you should ever say that someone is naturally good, "a natural" or anything like that. Instead kids should be praised for effort, for trying and having a growth mindset.

If we only comment on how inherently good they are they might get lazy as whenever they get bad grades excuses like "I wasn't trying" works. It doesn't matter if the parents continue being surprised of the bad grades, the answer can also be "I was just lazy".

This is exactly what happened to me and I'm still trying to reprogram myself.

I see a really great and not too expensive psychiatrist who has worked wonders for me and takes a very holistic approach - he'll often suggest something for one problem but actually it solves two others and I realise years later. Anyone in the Hants area I can wholeheartedly recommend Lars Hansen.

I take the bare minimum medication such that I don't get side affects and just about notice my cycling is over a reduced range.

I drink very little nowadays and as a rule stick to a particular niche beer style for a period and only drink beer I haven't already tried. Having managed several craft beer bars and worked with most local breweries it's rare a pub has something I don't know. I don't take drugs outside of prescriptions and haven't for a few years.

I have one coffee a day, first thing, and again stick to a particular origin for a long period so I don't find myself grabbing a starbucks for the sake of it. I go to bed at a sensible time and never let myself lie in.

I don't eat much sugar, or carbohydrates generally. I don't eat beef or lamb either. I try and include something like spinach or kale into every meal. I don't eat takeaway food very often any more, last year it was twice.

I try and get outside for an extended period each day. I sit down as little as possible. We have one television and it mainly stays off apart from the odd bit of kids TV or Formula 1.

When I don't feel like doing something I need to, I try and challenge that and prove to myself I can do it and that my fears were unfounded. If I'm worrying about something I ask myself what am I really afraid of and then I can reassure myself that if that situation occurred I could handle it.

I volunteer a day a week helping young people with mental health problems challenge themselves.

I keep extensive notes on ideas I have, things I need to do, etc, so that I'm not trying to remember things needlessly. My wife and I have strictly delegated tasks like monthly budgeting, meal planning. If I'm struggling with something I know to communicate that.

When I need to take a break mentally I'll put on an album I'm familiar with and play along with it or write down some recipe ideas or similar. My garage is where I can go to be alone when I need that.

Probably there's a hundred more things that aren't springing to mind right now
Did you ask everyone you worked with if they were autistic, or is this based on gut feeling?
It does read a bit like what you would hear a "psychic" write in response to a short question, such a long response seems an unreasonably confident response without any more back and forth between the two.

I'm actually a bit surprised so many people here are quickly falling into conclusions about what was and wasn't said when it doesn't seem like it has been explored enough to have anything conclusive determined from it..

But then it's also just an essay meant to speak to certain people and not for everyone in a popular magazine, so eh.

Among my friends, it was the opposite. I have two close male friends who, like me, were obsessed with computers for at least 20 years. In both cases, their parents bought computers for their sisters, not them. Their parents encouraged their sisters to get into computers, but it was the guys who became obsessed with computers and programming, having never particularly been encouraged to do so.

Yes, we do. But I doubt anyone is using them for production workloads. Development workloads don't continuously push cpu to 100% or even 70% for large periods of time. Development workloads don't make 1000 req/sec on postgres. No one has 10 vm's running at a time on a desktop.

These perf issues will only affect the server and cloud providers or some edge cases on the desktop. Everyone else can just apply the patches and go to work.

Agreed. The newer Samsung is an inferior cost-reduced version of this design. The old version is better because the time can be set purely by muscle memory. The new version uses a rotary encoder, where you need multiple turns to set a time. The required back-and-forth movement of the hand is too complex for muscle memory. The rotary encoder skips steps if you move it too fast. The time dial does not move as it counts down, so you're forced to read the display to check the remaining time instead of just glancing at the dial.

The only real improvement is the replacement of the door opening button with a more intuitive door handle.

It's just npm that's broken. I've never used a package manager for any other language that had these kinds of issues. It's exacerbated by the massive over-reliance on external packages in JS too. `left-pad` really shone a light on how dependencies in JS land really are brought in without too much thought.

You assume that secrets circulate only within organizations and that no external parties (contractors, business partners, investors) are involved.

Sorry, but I have totally no clue what you are talking about.

Laziness is preserving energy, which seems pretty vital to survival for me. Have you ever seen a "lazy" lion just laying there, doing nothing most of the day? The reason why he's not running around all day doing active stuff is because of survival, energy preservation. He will put his energy where it is most important, food and sex. He's even so lazy that he lets the ladies hunt for him.

So I don't understand in what kind of world you are living where laziness is not a real thing.

Making food for oneself is such a wonderful way to spend time. It lets us focus on what we put into our bodies. It’s amazing to do this for yourself if you have time.

Prepared foods are proven to be as bad for us as smoking but it’s not well publicized by the mainstream media.

> Does the code actually work?

Given its reliance on '...' and the fact I'm not great at python and typed it straight into the comment ... no. No it doesn't.

> Wouldn't you need to create a instance within meta_dec and return the result of the __call__ method.

No, like with ES6 parameterised decorators return a function that then gets called with the thing being decorated.

> See at first glance I won't think it would work if I didn't know __call__ is a magic method in python.

(1) my reply was assuming the context of us both having just read the article, which has an example with __call__

(2) as I said in my original comment, you would abstract this away (and document it), I was sketching out an alternative implementation path to allow you to have an object instead of a closure since you didn't seem to be happy with closures, not offering a complete solution

> Mixing classes and FP like that doesn't resonate well with me tbh, but yeah you could do it ... but should you?

(3) if you don't like closures and you don't like objects, I'm not sure what other combined function+data abstraction is available in python that you wouldn't also dislike

(4) I'd probably consider doing it if I had a bunch of similar decorators and found the functional approach was starting to groan at the seams - I use objects for 'parameterised bag of functions, possibly with inheritance' quite a lot for that purpose

I fully agree. That being said, cryptocurrencies have real-world application as soon as we pass the gold rush.
But it does, you're just focusing on the other component of learning.

Put another way, for a new tool, learning cost is a sum of a) cost of learning idiosyncrasies of that tool, and b) cost of getting familiar with the concepts used by it.

You're talking about b), which is indeed a shared expense. But a), by definition, isn't. And it's always nonzero. And since new tools are usually made to differ from previous ones on purpose ("being opinionated", it's called), even though they fix some minor things, this cost can be meaningful. And, it adds up with every switch you need to do.

Some of it is a normal part of life of a software developer, but JS ecosystem has taken it to ridiculous extremes.

It wasn't just the 90s, sometime after like the late 2000s meeting people online organically became hard. I guess everyone who wanted to could just go on FB now. It's like everyone got put into their own little box. Discord would have been awesome if I was younger.

But yeah. Talking, chatting, reading, and running. Marathon video game binges with old friends because we have less and less in common now. Everything helps.
But that's for a microwave and I agree.

An advanced one has extra options that are functionally valid, like blowing more air as opposed to wave radiation/convection heat, or adding more moisture surrounding it to keep that chicken moist, adding some top grill heat to give more caramelisation on the skin etc.

These things requires a brain puzzle if you only use 2 buttons (think oldskool micro devices or configuring digital watches), and adding more buttons for these options offers arguably a more direct and simple user experience if you rtfm.

> It’s sort of like paying for the internet connection and still paying for the content.

Sadly, this looks like it is going to be in future, see Netflix. It will even get worse when more content distribution companies start to argue you should not have to pay for the connection, as long as you only use their service, see "Free Basics".
I agree with you broadly, but I think there are a few nuances here that make all of the difference.

The first is that I feel that text is an AWFUL medium for communication for these sorts of discussions and criticisms, unless expertly crafted (as this article was, I feel). Numerous times I've had arguments with friends via text that get out of hand because of subtle misinterpretations of intent and phrasing, where as in person they're much more civilised. You can draw a few conclusions here: either we suck at communicating via text and need to get a lot better, or discussions of this nature are better had face to face, where intent and nuance of expression are easier (for many) to judge. What feels like normal discourse and 'clinical' (for lack of a better word) discussion to you may not feel the same way to others, simply because short-form text is an imperfect medium.

The other point of contention I have is that it's fine to treat diversity programs with scientific rigour, but you also need to allow for the proper timescales in which to study the effects. If you subscribe to an intersectional feminist viewpoint, then it stands to reason that you need to observe the success or failure of such diversity programs over a generational timescale in order to assess their efficacy. Change on that scale simply isn't going to be visible over a one or two year period before you decide the diversity program doesn't work and you axe it.
Are you seriously comparing the two? Psychology is nothing more than a pseudoscience where most of the time the solution is to take some pills that will turn you into a zombie, sometimes even permanently.
My comment above mentions that. It's about perceived page load time. There are small tricks that sites do to make UIs appear faster, even if they aren't really faster. Turbolinks has the opposite effect, making the loading appear to be worse on bad connections or when there are other rendering problems.

Not true - the Karpman drama triangle (victim-aggressor-rescuer) is a fundamentally human way of seeing the world (however dysfunctional and unhelpful) and so it is present all around the world, not just in the US. I would agree that based on what I read about it, the US seems to be particularly in the grip of this perspective though.
