For me, org mode becomes a note taking and link dumping ground. I let JIRA be my todo list, and throw notes and links to different files in my org-mode file. The problems I have is when there's personal notes that should probably exist in the JIRA cards for others to use.

EDIT: I also have been using it for documentation. Github parses orgmode files, so its useful for me and the rest of me team in these cases.

Because retaliation shifts our foe's "risk of destruction if drone sent" vs "risk of destruction if drone not sent" tradeoff toward "don't attack".

Actually, I find the DOM surprisingly structured for reading and manipulation. This button have one or more events? No problem! Want to see the code in that event, no problem. The DOM is the truth, and you are free to read, understand and modify it as you like.

What is a problem though, is that there is no consensus in the team about how the code should be structured. So everyone creates their own mess.

Oh state management? There is something called observer pattern for that.
This same concept, by the way, is why we always say that music from $previous generation is better than music from $current generation. We have access to all of the bad music from today, but the only music we remember from the good old days is the good stuff, this is doubly true if we weren't alive back then. We only have the music that survived because it was good (popular and lasting).
> Laws rarely get removed

It's true that they more frequently get modified, often repeatedly and radically, until little trace of the original remains.

But anyhow, this isn't a law it's a regulation, and regulations are somewhat more likely to be removed (sometimes, because removal or even modification of the law under which the regulation was adopted forces this, independent of what the regulator would choose without that constraint.)
There are actually exceptions in the law that say if you have shade trees you don't need solar.
How is a 50% increase in core counts "not much on the performance front"? Intel used to push out yearly 5% IPC increases + 5% clock rate increases before AMD released Zen.
I'm sure it's more of a problem at these events than others, but I doubt it's never an issue at any type of event with that much of a gender imbalance. I'm absolutely not suggesting that there isn't a serious issue with harassment in our industry, I just don't think that is the actual root cause of the gender imbalance that exacerbates this issue. Clearly workplace discrimination broadly is an issue, but that all happens after the talent pool is heavily skewed towards men.
Late to the Mac
This seems to be a common symptom in most of these 'women-in-tech' articles. Each one of them has advice for men who are in the industry, but never for any women trying to get into it.
> unless you generalize the concept to such an extent that it becomes worthless.

Worthless in what way? Supply and demand is far easier to write than this long-winded explanation I have ended up giving to explain what it means. That seems well worthwhile, at least when in company who understand the meaning of the term. It is not like it is some grand unified theory of economics, if that is what you were hoping for.

> You can basically frame any human interaction in terms of supply and demand

Absolutely. All interaction has some cost, and supply and demand observes the willingness of all parties to accept that cost. That is exactly what supply and demand is all about.

> And it's certainly not what most of us have in mind when we talk about "basic supply and demand"

What is it that most of you have in mind? Supply, by definition, is the quantity of a product available at any price. Demand, by definition, is the desire and willingness to pay a price. Supply and demand is simply the observation of both and how they interact with each other. I am honestly unsure of what else you could think it means?

Or what about accounting and book keeping; which is a professional, white collar career that also happens to employ more women than men?

Women were programmers very early on. I think we should look for some common thread between computer programming in the late 1950's/early 60's and accounting and book keeping today.

While socialization may be a part of the equation, there's a lot more going on here and simply blaming women for being "too social" just panders to common stereotypes.

I don't think you should be characterizing it as "blaming." Things are as they are. I remember reading a paper in grad school finding that software engineers actually had more need of interaction than other fields, despite stereotypes. I think there is some important factor we don't quite understand.

It's worth noting that Google Assistant has been able to make reservations with OpenTable since 2014. No need to have Duplex talking to Duplex; it's just protobufs or JSON or XML or whatever people use nowadays for RPCs.

I've lost count of the number of college hackathon projects where they say, "oh, push a button and you get a pizza" and they think they'll just put an iPad in the kitchen, and then fizzle out when they get to a real restaurant.

In practice, the restaurant might pass around pieces of paper in the kitchen. So you think, oh, I'll put in a thermal receipt printer. But then you realize that they don't have Wi-Fi or internet, so now you have to put in a $70/month internet bill, on top of the phone bill, and a router or two. So you think, "oh, I'll use a fax machine", or "I'll integrate with the point of sale system". But the fax machine runs out of paper, and the point of sale system is an offline piece of ---- running Windows XP. And even if you do get them using an iPad or OpenTable or Yelp or whatever, before you know it, you have waiters writing on a computer monitor with a whiteboard marker: https://javlaskitsystem.se/2012/02/whats-the-waiter-doing-wi...

Your logic is bonkers. Not every principle or virtue is a hill that every inch is worth dying over. The US and EU (and pretty much every other country) also have many laws and regulations that are not privacy friendly. You claim this means they should close up shop (or only sell to seasteaders) if they are a true privacyman? It's a recycled version of the 'Al Gore has a big house' joke, guess he's doesn't really care about the environment. Heyo!
I feel similar to both OP and you; especially when first learning React a year ago. I feel like the only real way to learn it is to get a job where you work with React full time, and after a few months you will finally get comfortable with it. (that's how I learned it) I was fortunate enough; when shutting down my startup a year ago and needing to land a new job, a team of coworkers I used to work with took me in without much of an interview, so I was hired into a React shop even with zero React experience. I can imagine the predicament when you have no React experience, and also can't get a React job to learn it.
Firefox overall performance starts to be pretty good and it's
pretty pleasant to use. It feels smoother than Chrome on 2015 Macbook Pro.

But I guess there's a long tail of issues that keep some people from (still) switching to Firefox.

Mine is lack of smooth pinch-zoom on macOS. Once that is fixed, I think I'll be using Firefox most of the time.

On 2018 Android flagship phone, scrolling speed seems to be maybe 58/59 fps. Occasional jerky motion sticks out like a sore thumb. I think it might feel smoother steady 30 fps, because at least then all frames take equally long to render.
The state of North Dakota has its own bank, the only state that has one. It provides services to citizens of the state such as home, farm and student loans. It also is the bank of the state government, all state tax revenues are deposited there. It was formed in 1919 as a way to allow farmers to get low cost loans.

This is dead on. To be honest, girls can get creeped out whether I have platonic intent or not. Part of what defines a guy as "creepy" is the mere fact of whether or not he's reading a girl's signals correctly. This can be problematic, since it doesn't necessarily follow that failing to read a girl's boundaries correctly means I have anything other than platonic intent.

This can be circumvented for sure, but my usual method is simply to keep conversations about work only, and not to linger when a work topic has concluded. This might seem like overkill, but I'm trying t err on the side of caution here.
If someone happens to idolize "The Rock", the rule doesn't go down very well.

It possibly devolves to "behave like a bumbling star-struck fool around all women".

Or possibly to "treat women like goddesses". Example: if I run a cafe, and idolize "The Rock", should I give every woman a free coffee and muffin, because that's what I would do if "The Rock" walked in?

People who are famous get all sorts of unwanted attention that would easily amount to sexism or sexual misconduct if it were lavished upon a person because she's a woman. Fans want to get near you, touch you, take a picture with you and whatever.
I think the gap varies dramatically by ethnicity. Its possible, perhaps likely, that different cultures have different biases towards women in tech fields. If you add that as a variable to all these charts, I think things may look significantly more skewed than they already do.
I think this person needs to think in terms of a series of onboarding ramps. You aren't going to learn to fly a commercial jet from nothing. You might want to get a private license first. Before that you learned to walk, talk, read, write and add up.

In other words, learn JS proficiently without any libraries first.

Then learn basic react, maybe without all the complex toolchains - just include the CDN link that compiles the code on the page and grok React.

Then finally do some basic React coding without the Redux etc.
One way to possibly look at this is that she opened up to you because she felt you might understand, to her you responded sceptically and out of professional self-interest she downplayed the whole thing. That doesn’t mean those guys are necessarily creepers but that you’ve definitely lost her trust.
Such anecdotes are also exemplary of how a lot of women(meaning not all) fail to question why it is they are being excluded. I think much of that comes down to how a lot of women don't understand just how intimidating they can be to men.

Women who are reading this should understand that you are undoubtedly intimidating at some level to some men out there. This is because we are not only frequently perceived as being "creepy", or trying to court women, but the perception is that society is asking a lot of specific treatment of women from men(one wrong word and we might have offended you somehow). Unless a man is attractive, it's much easier to avoid women all together.

I'm not saying it's a perfect system. It's mostly flawed. But I just wish that women would have a little more compassion and understanding to the male perspective. This article and others like it come off as externalizing that's basically concluding that men are being themselves too much because of ignorance and therefore need to change their behavior to comply with the wants of women, even though the reverse isn't being demanded of women; not often will you hear a man in tech say that women just need to toughen up. (by the way, I'm not even implying that)

I see this as a problem companies need to solve, not individuals.

A man intentionally going out of their way to befriend a woman has much more to lose (potentially being considered a “creep” leading to a poor reputation that may spread) than they stand to gain compared to if they tried to befriend another man. But the main reason that can occur is the intentionality of making an “approach” like that. And yes, it will be construed as creepy a significant portion of the time, especially if you are unattractive or have poor social skills - that’s a fact of life.

If instead your boss/professor mandated a few small social events to get new hires to meet each other and existing employees one-on-one, there’s no way you can misconstrue getting to know someone as trying to flirt with them. Everybody wins.
Speaking not only as a Woman but as a Mother (Happy Mothers Day everyone) nothing would of persuade me away from STEM career. My parents were both in STEM and the love for science was as early as I can remember.

As a nerd that grew up with nerd friends, I have seen firsthand how unsolicited social overtures may be cruelly rebuffed or punished.

When one of the consequences may be an uncomfortable conversation with the dean or with HR, it is completely unsurprising that male nerds will not make the first move socially. They have been trained to not do it.

Every last behavior that is rewarded as "flirting" from an attractive person is punished as "creepy" when it comes from an unattractive person. The best an ugly can hope for is to suppress their natural social grooming behaviors, and just be relentlessly neutral. It's much better than "creepy", as it still allows for a level of acquaintanceship that makes it possible to display non-physical qualities, such as a particularly well-developed skill, or a sense of humor.

"Go befriend a girl... it's not creepy." is something only a non-ugly person would think to say. Of course it's not creepy for them. Parent post is absolutely correct. If you're not pretty, it's creepy. If m'lady wants a friend, m'lady may approach on her own terms.

I wonder why no one has mentioned using Google-Calendar as a task-management tool. I too use (starred) emails to remind myself of tasks that I have pending. But for anything that's time specific, I just put it on my google-calendar (or any online calendar really).

Eg: Mow my lawn on Sunday? Ok, I'll create an all-day event on Sunday to mow-my-lawn. And once I'm done, all I have to do is delete it. I can then periodically check my calendar from my phone/laptop/tablet, and see everything I have to do that day/week. If I want to get a head-start on anything that's coming up next week, it's all there on my calendar too. If I need a reminder, I can just have it send me a push-notification at a specific time. Best of all, I never have to be at my computer to get all these info/alerts. As long as I have my phone nearby, I can check my tasks, and get reminders for anything I've forgotten about.
China produces twice the CO2 emissions as the U.S. China produced 29% of global CO2 emissions in 2015, and the U.S. produced 14%. (wikipedia)

If you’re so bad at socializing that you might accidentally harass someone, fix that! Don’t just retreat from the world because you can’t handle a basic skill.

Facebook would work perfectly fine with fake data and without privacy violations.

I can sign up with a fake date of birth and a throwaway email account, under a generic name (remove any identifying unique spelling or middle names, for instance) or a completely fake name. And I could still connect with friends and family, provided I know the names they've chosen to use on FB.

According to the GDPR, anything you share publicly is basically fair game. So if you post something in a public post on your public wall, anyone can view and use that data for whatever they want.

The issue is all of the secret data FB collects. They have disturbingly extensive profiles of every one of their users, including political standpoint, which phase of life they're in (eg. "stable established adult" or somesuch), their sexual preferences, sports teams, club memberships, medical history, the list goes on and on. They get this from your non-public account information and from tracking you across websites you visit.

That is the issue here, the tracking and storage of personal information that people want to keep private. FB's tracking and privacy violations are not vital to the service they provide. Their business model may depend on (targeted) ads and privacy violations, but that is not an excuse. You cannot base your business model on breaking laws and hoping to get away with it.

FB isn't "allowing" users to either agree to the ToS or go pound sand, they're basically saying "fuck you, we'll exploit your private information as much as we want, and you don't have a choice". They're doing this to muddy the waters and make people think "oh I already agreed to this, make it go away", when the actual GDPR consent form pops up after the 25th.

But users do have a choice. The GDPR very specifically says that you cannot make access to your service contingent on opting in to private data collection and tracking, because consent has to be given freely, ie. not under threat of access denial.

You can only do this if your service cannot possibly work without the collection of personal data. Something like Strava (which tracks bike rides via GPS) cannot function without collecting GPS locations. So they have a good argument that they cannot provide their service, if users do not opt in to location tracking. But they have to very clearly state what they will use this collected data for, and they cannot change it later without collecting new freely given consent from their users.
I think that's overstating it. Who literally needs Facebook as much as electricity? I'm saying this as someone who has a Facebook account, but never logs in to it or posts anything.
