I call that a good start. Society is still learning about this kind of funding model; there will be growing pains[1]. I find it incredible that Patreon is already allowing funding talented niche artists[2], important "not advertiser safe" social/political commentary[3], and other projects that would never make it past the usual funding filters.

Yes, it isn't a lot, but it's a good start that has already had some success. Hopefully it will continue to grow.

>we're going to spend years untangling the muddy notion in many people's minds that equality of outcome is expected when there is perfect equality of opportunity.

Exactly. Thank you for putting it so succinctly.
I work at a healthcare facility, and the "emotional support" animals are a huge problem. We only allow Service Animals in our building.
I frequently ask patients to keep their birds and even reptiles in the car.
The ADA is very specific in that they only recognize dogs and miniature horses as Service Animals.
It is worth noting that "emotional support" animals do not enjoy the same protections that the ADA provides.
It doesn't stop patients from claiming that their emotional support animal is an actual Service Animal, but requiring proof is a slippery slope toward a discrimination lawsuit.
There's at least one company in every sector that brands its products as "solutions," instead of products.

Copy machines, insurance, databases, plastic food containers, consulting, shipping, etc...

Everything is a "solution" these days. Often to problems that don't exist.
> Would be great if it could use SQLite and Electron already installed

I don't understand what this means. These are usually application building components, not installable libs/applications. What do you mean be use the ones already installed? How do you install either of those "in the system" for use by multiple apps? Or do you mean the NPM cache which I figured it did leverage? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your statement?

Thanks, I didn't and wondered if it had anything to do with Computer-supported Collaborative Work or Computer-supported Collaborative Learning (CSCW and CSCL, respectively[0][1]).

Not really, obviously, but given that one of the big sub-topics of CSCW and CSCL is about designing for remote collaborative work, CRDT looks like a technology that naturally fits in there.

It's more of a sign of how broken the internet is. For example, how you can take down most sites with $5.

Or how there's no downside for an ISP to not filter outbound connections (ip spoofing). Or how there's no downside for people to send unlimited traffic because their devices were compromised (imagine if their bill suddenly went up).

The internet is broken. Complaining that people use CloudFlare doesn't solve it.

There is a gigantic difference between who can get mortgages and at what kind of leverage one can get in Europe vs. United States.

Completely private and manual underwriting exists and always existed in the United States. The reason that it is not popular is that the vast majority of Americans would not qualify under any private underwriting guidelines for most of the loans Americans get ( and successfully pay for ).
> Once the music is recorded, they aren't 'working' anymore hours, so how would you figure they need $1160 a month to make minimum wage?

I completely agree. The minimum wage figure was just a reference point that aligns with the way we pay for it: monthly. It's ridiculous music has (been) moved into this area.

The same problem is in the software industry now. More and more companies move to subscription business models simply because a pay-upfront model isn't viable anymore. Sure, it's great to support developers in their endeavours, but what if I just want to buy this exact version of the app and decide for myself if I want to pay for bug fixes and extra features later? Maybe this version is fine for me. But the new business reality doesn't allow for this.

Anyways..

> No other job expects to be paid forever for work done years ago; if someone hires me to build a fence, I don't expect to keep being paid for every year that fence is up.

The entire intellectual property licensing space works in this way, and that space is badly broken. I agree that there's no moral requirement to pay someone for work done years ago, and the reality is that most musicians really aren't. A quality recording takes a long time to make and its average lifespan is about a year (if that) before attention (if any) dies out.

On top of that it requires a big investment to record, produce and promote an album (consider also a new website, logo and album art) and then after all you have to share the $0.00029 per song play with about five people and the label. You're lucky to break even at all.
Not quite, the laws of physics don't apply in a rotating reference frame. For example the speed of light stops being a constant.

So, if you wanted to use one you would need to redo all your math and effectively use a non rotating frame in the middle of all your calculations, or add fictitious forces and flexible constants.
It makes sense that someone who uses "message" as a verb would think "solution" is a good way to brand a printer, 3D or otherwise.

Germans tend to be better at following social rules than Americans. Far too many Americans delude themselves to think that their dog is well-behaved in public when their dog is really a nuisance.

Part of it comes from Germany's culture: It's publicly acceptable to scold someone. In the US, it's considered rude for me to yell at an irresponsible dog owner.
That's just the time off, though: once both parents are back at work, no law can force them both to devote equal mental & temporal resources to childraising. I suspect very strongly that even with forced equality of parental leave, we would see mothers devoting more attention to their children than do father.

Teachers, full-time mothers and fathers, and generally anyone who's in charge of raising the next generation properly, are all underpaid and arguably undervalued.

However, when you legislate away any reward for risk-takers, innovators, and all those folks you mentioned who simply work harder at the expense of something else in their lives...then you end up in a society where nobody tries, nothing happens, and everyone's pretty well subsumed into an existential crisis -like existence. What's the point of trying if it's guaranteed not to make a difference?

Minor clarification that doesn't pertain to the general premise of the article:

> However, if we want to use it on user-defined types, we'll need to implement the Ord class manually:

For user-defined types, you can usually add "deriving Ord" to the definition, and the compiler creates a default implementation for you. You might want to implement it manually if the specifics of how it works are important to the application or if the type contains a field that GHC can't automatically derive Ord for (like a function).

Usually, for most types I use "deriving (Eq, Ord, Show)" unless I have a good reason not to.

That's to be expected if most mothers become full-time caregivers to the children, right?

If caregiving were split father-primary or mother-primary 50/50 among families, I'd expect we'd see the pay gap drop.

(Unfortunately, I suspect that because of gains from specialization, doing something more elaborate like both parents juggling career and childcare equally leads to net-worse outcomes in terms of both care given and revenue for household).
>If you can't afford to maintain your pet, you can't afford a pet. Don't take it out on the rest of us.

Yes, but this logic is a slippery slope that drops off into a sewer depending on how far you want to take it.

If you tell certain people that you don't own snow tires because you usually commute via train and you drive maybe two days a year with snow on the ground and they'll tell you you're a menace to society and if you can't afford to go all out you shouldn't own a car at all.

Everything has trade-offs and I'm more inclined to say everyone else should be thicker skinned rather than individuals should be better behaved. It's not the individual's job to look out for everyone else. Bringing a pet or a crying baby on a plane isn't a big deal even if it's a pain in the butt for everyone else.

As much as people need to be considerate people also need to not be thin skinned when others are inconsiderate.

That said, you'd better be pretty f-ed up in the head if you're bringing your dog into the supermarket, on public transit, into Walmart, etc for "emotional support".

Edit: Not that I know where the line should be drawn, just that it probably should be drawn somewhere. Also revised some wording.

I should have known better than picking this example for this demographic.

The older photo, Bella Luna, also has the shadow of the moon darker than surrounding space, which is weird.

Or maybe that's possible. Am I wrong?
Promises and monads are way different though. Promises are used for "simplifying" asynchronous coding in imperative languages, and monads are a general computational methodology towards writing syntactically imperative-looking code in purely functional languages, built on top of type-classes. Without understanding why Haskell is purely functional, you couldn't even understand the motivation behind monads. And sure, you can extend a javascript prototype (or any object) to do something monad like, but without all of Haskell's strictness, you'd miss the jest.
Wow. You know there are sci-fi books written about a world were some people are not allowed to be better than others? If you have some advantage, you have to do extra so it's nullified.

Seriously, who are you to tell me how to run my family life? Your arrogance is astonishing. I suppose if I don't push my kids just the right amount you're going to claim you know enough about how all children will turn out to revoke my parental rights?

I had children when I was in college. I suppose I should have been forced to fail one of my semesters, or do only good and proper people who do things the right way count?

My wife wanted to stay home for many years. I suppose I should tell her she was full of shit for not wanting to make more money?

You think it would relieve pressure to justify putting family before career? Again, wow. These are ADULTS. If they are so fucking wrapped up in peer pressure they can't decide if they should take care of their own babies they don't deserve their own children. Seriously, at what point are people responsible for themselves? Where does the nanny state end? Now we have to force men to not work because some people might get get their feelings hurt? Fuck them.
I guess this situation will only permanently change if all fathers are completely and truly happy and comfortable with doing exactly the same amount of house work and childcare work as the mothers of their children. As long as the idea of the men as the bigger breadwinner still lingers around for the average parent and boss (consciously or unconsciously, on an individual basis and culturally), it'll impact the decisions being made which then in turn lead to children being bigger career killers for working moms than for fathers.

If that assumption is correct, then the actual question would be: Will this 50/50 (on average) state with truly happy and comfortable fathers ever happen, and will parents (on average) be happier or not? (this sounds like me questioning that they might be, but it's meant as an actual question).

Personally, I am actually quite happy that I don't have specific plans to become a father right now, because truth be told, I wouldn't want to give up so much of my work/passion for taking care of a child (although maybe me saying this is more the consequence of lacking the desire to become a father, meaning that I'd speak differently if that desire would exist).
Well, maybe not the founder of envkey... he might have colleagues depending on him :)
My point is

1) banks need this information for underwriting

2) the US doesn't have and won't ever have a centralized government/public database that contains this information

3) the private market takes over and compiles that information for profit
Counterpoint from Patrick from Popehat (on Twitter):

A lot of the people who need support animals are war veterans, people who've endured horrific accidents, rape victims. I got my dog from a labradoodle breeder who trains puppies to detect epileptic seizures. I used to mock these people, when I was uninformed.

He's not rebutting the argument that people cheat. In fact, the more seriously you take the idea of emotional support animals, the more repulsive the cheaters probably are to you.

> Programmers get to choose when they come to work and see it as their God given right.

Why frame it in this inflammatory way? The fact that programmers can choose their work hours is a privilege and a job-perk. What is the point of guilt-tripping them about it? Surely an ideal world is where more people can work when they please rather than one where everyone is forced to clock fixed hours just because there exist some workers who don't have that freedom?
> Those $340 refills will contain more than double the toner than the starter cartridges.

The M452dn came with "introductory cartridges" all rated at ~1200 pages. For the CP1525nw, the black 128A is rated at ~2000 pages and the colors are ~1300 pages.

The new printer was ~60% of the cost of a set of replacement cartridges and the starter cartridges are 60-92% capacity of the A cartridge replacements for the CP1525nw.

So yes it cost me less to replace the printer than it would have to replace all of the cartridges.

In reality it cost me a bit more. The CP1525nw actually started jamming on me constantly when the black got to about 1% and the colors at around 5%. The diagnostic codes indicated it was a problem with the ink so I stupidly bought a replacement black which cleared one error code but not the jam. I got a quote for a diagnostic and it was more than the cost of a new printer.
richardwhiuk completely nailed it.

Orchestration scripts and test suites are of minimal value here. They already exist for pretty much every configuration you might need, and already in open source ways. Open sourcing the tools is of very little value in meeting the needs of a site like SciHub in protecting itself from DDoS attacks. What's actually needed is servers and bandwidth.

There’s to the best of my knowledge no study that shows that the biological gender matters for the choice of profession. The issue that often muddies things is that girls have been (and still are) brought up with the notion that some professions are not suited to them. This is especially pronounced in IT, where for a long time at the start of the profession, women had the majority of employed people and things started to switch over when home computers were marketed as a boys toy.
There are strong indicators that the biological gender contributes much less than what the society expects in terms of gender roles.
Well, if the gap tends to 20% it may also indicate a strong tendency to 4-day week among parenting women while men won’t. The fact it approaches it from below suggests a career delay but other than that I don’t see signs of “career killer”. That men’s share of parent leave is so small may be more indicative, but the final datum would be scale promotion rates across genders (although that would restrict to collective bargaining contracts)

> The article is about the fact that children are a far greater risk for women careers that men's.

The obvious solution here is to convince women to stop having kids.

Now, I don't think this, but I also don't personally have a problem with women choosing kids over careers.
My son is almost two and has never met his grandparents, who live in another continent. They are in poor health and can't travel themselves.

How do you suggest we deal with this? A boat would be far too slow, and a private jet would be far too expensive.

In these circumstances, I will bring my toddler in the plane, try to keep him quiet, and bring baggies with complimentary snacks and earplugs for the passengers sitting next to us. I don't think I can realistically do more than that.

What I'm not going to do is wait five years until the child is older, because I have no assurance that my parents will be alive by then. Sorry if that inconveniences you.
Less invasive potential starting point: compare number of impressions with number of sales, look for suspicious outliers. More sophisticated options could be derived from similar easy-to-get numbers, too, like amount of foot traffic, door openings, etc.
I won't disagree with you, except maybe to point out I don't think it's necessarily just biological, but psychological/physiological gender as well that causes the difference. There is some evidence, though last I checked inconclusive, that gender identity has a fairly strong relation with certain brain structures. I don't think it would be surprising that these differences also cause people to gravitate towards certain interests.

Not to say it's always 100% going to make them go towards those interests, before anybody accuses me of making that claim, but it's fairly apparent as far as I'm concerned that even given equal opportunity, people of different genders aren't attracted to the same fields in equal proportion. Gender in multiple senses determines how the brain develops, so it would be surprising if these fields were demographically equal.

I think making an equal opportunity approach is definitely the right thing, but equal outcome I think ends up holding people back and forcing others into fields they won't enjoy. It's working not on the idea of cultivating individual people's passions but forcing them to fit some ideal.

In any case, though, I don't think any of this means that women should be disproportionately affected by having a child. I'm willing to buy the argument that it's societally caused due to expectations and men taking less time off than women for their children.

Yep, that's the one. I think it should be required reading.

Most of the folks in that thread are highly intelligent, and mean well. But to hear them toss out category theory as "impractical" and "not based in reality"?... It's just so cringeworthy. Here's their final spec, which seems absolutely convoluted to me:
https://promisesaplus.com/#the-promise-resolution-procedure

Why does any of this matter to non-js devs (like me)? Because some of us want to target javascript with higher level languages, and externing a js promise instance is a necessity. The runtime-driven behavior described here means that the compiler will never really know the type of a given promise resolution. So, the compiler is very limited in what it can handle.

It's possible to do it with a prepared statement. I just did this a couple of weeks ago and it worked nicely. Inspired by this Stack Overflow answer:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12004603/mysql-pivot-row...

I wouldn't recommend this unless it really fits your use case. For me I needed to report whether a set of users had completed various tasks. The tasks wouldn't be known ahead of time, but the report is always limited to a set of users who share the same set of tasks. This approach allowed me to build a report that works for different sets of users and the tasks don't need to be known ahead of time.

Big downside is that my query creates a bunch of dependent subqueries. Because the number of rows (users) and tasks (columns) in a given report is always within a reasonable number, it runs quickly. Your mileage may vary.
The author has obviously never traveled with an emotional support animal. The difference between how you are treated by TSA with an animal and without is amazing. I travel with my dog and, as soon as TSA sees the vest, I am allowed to go through the pre-check line (I do not have pre-check) so I don't have to take off my shoes, etc... TSA is also much nicer to people traveling with animals. Rather than the typical surly bullshit, they are nice and want to pet your dog, etc...

So, if the author really thinks that animals are a bigger problem than TSA, they are probably one of those people who "cheats" security by paying for pre-check to avoid going through proper security. I am much more concerned with how the incompetence and rudeness of TSA is being used to extract money and personal information from travelers.

If airlines and airports want people to stop lying about the reason they are brining their pets on the airplane, perhaps we should start by making TSA stop lying about the benefit they provide. When we see TSA extracting billions of dollars from taxpayers for security theater, it's easy to assume that the only people still playing by the rules are suckers.
