Maybe I have just been lucky, but I have never had a job in which my only function was to translate a design doc or mockup into a website. I couldn't imagine working in that type of environment for long. Part of the job has always been to talk through design choices with bosses or clients because it is easy for a non-developer to make a decision they don't feel strongly about that would add a multiplier to the development timeline. So my original comment wasn't purely about my own preferences. It was also realizing the benefit of pixel perfect design is negligible and that I should be willing to argue against it when the issue is brought up.
I am reasonably confident calling it flatly false at this point, given the absurd amount of fine-detail combing over of Zoe Quinn's life done by her harrassers that's still never come up with anything real to present.
As long as the audits are for purposes where there is actual competition[0], this is possible.

The important thing is to never treat compliance audits as box-ticking exercises. That's a never-ending, vicious cycle. In fact, many of the findings are simply different aspects of the same thing. You can pre-emptively work on this: identify what parts of requirements are essentially duplicates, and make improvements that satisfy all of them at once.

Then proudly flaunt them. When you can show to the auditors, in person, that you have considered the wider business implications and worked to understand the compliance requirements, you are on much better ground. That buys trust.

Then, educate the auditors when necessary. Show them in practice how something simple can provide a better trail and an improved experience. When possible, provide evidence in the format they initially ask for, but also in the format which is more suitable and more convenient. Auditors are humans. They just often are not aware of the leading edge, of what is possible. Show off solutions that are more convenient to both of you.

They will learn. They will be impressed by some things you do. Anything that makes their job easier, while satisfying the intent and spirit of the audit, will be an easy sell. They also believe in repeat business. Show repeatedly that you know what you are doing, and why you believe that your approach makes more sense (while delivering better audit trails).

Convenience is a strong currency.

0: There are some domains where a single company has essentially a "Royal Charter". These are much, much harder to deal with, because the monopolist has little need to employ personnel with proper technological understanding. They can also strong-arm and bully their customers at will, because there are no alternatives. Audits like these can very easily degrade into box-ticking bonanzas. My advice for these cases is: pick your fights. Double down on what you truly believe and give in on smaller, less disruptive items. Rinse and repeat on subsequent years.

Predicting things and forecasting is an enormous part of ML and stats. Especially in the more statistical side of the community, there are very principled effective ways to do this, even in the presence of weird outliers like the germany/brazil meltdown.

Take a look at robust regression and influence functions to see some of the interesting flavor of one way to look at outlier weirdness.
That’s a completely absurd argument. By that reasoning nothing can be done to study any problem.
This is a little circular, though. When the culture of the time makes it evident that you should be on the defensive with respect to sexual harassment/assault due to its prevalence, then you're more likely to have a false-positive read to any situation.
If they can crack it open with a 12" set of bolt cutters, the question of how well the technology works becomes becomes moot in my book. I mean, nothing is going to stand up to the bolt cutters I keep in my garage, but 12" can fit in a coat pocket.

One of the main techniques taught in Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication book https://www.amazon.com/dp/189200528X is how to discover each other's intentions and share your own intentions and needs.

To suggest that the targeted harassment of women (and the complete avoidance of significantly targeting anybody else) was the result of “a small minority of trolls” who didn’t have the support of everybody using that banner is laughable, especially given that GamerGate had an explicit start with the harassment of a woman.
Neighbor to neighbor, not medical advice:

Navigating the mental health care system in this country is difficult. From what you've described, here's what I would do:

- Start with an in-network therapist. My personal bias is to look for someone with a PhD in clinical psychology, but the important thing is to get started. Talk with your therapist about medication. They are trained to do this and to get you do an MD (psychiatrist) if you agree it makes sense. They will take it from there. Managing meds is basically what they do. (There are psychiatrists who also do talk therapy. If they are good at both, it won't be cheap).

- Do not feel at all obligated to stick with your first provider. This part is hard, due to the awkwardness of firing your therapist. Therapy takes time, but it may be clear after a couple of sessions that you are, e.g., with someone who won't talk about solving practical problems and only wants to talk about your upbringing, or the other way around. If you think it might be a good fit, give it more time, but it's true: you do have to click with your therapist for it to really work, and there is no formula for that.

- If you are not a danger to yourself or anyone else, and you are able to take care of yourself (basic social functioning and providing for yourself), then consider thinking about your care in terms of cost and benefit. If you are having to make excuses to duck out of work, that's stressing you out, and the therapy isn't helping, that's a bad c/b. If it's costing you an arm and a leg, your mind is more important, but that's still a bad c/b.

If you are isolated and in constant pain, strongly consider staying in some sort of care as a safety net, even if you can't find someone with whom you really click.

As an atheist, I'm not saying that religious values are somehow the ideal. Also, I'm not saying that religious values come from God or are somehow immutable.

However, if we look at different societies, some work better than others. I think most people on HN live in societies that actually work quite well.

To think that you can somehow reason your way to anything better, from first principles (which have to be values, not rules), is very optimistic, in my opinion. First of all, you have to be very certain that you have the correct first principles. (I think this is a much harder problem in itself than most people realize), but even if you do, creating a full ethical system that maximizes those values, is computationally impossible.

To my knowledge, most attempts to introduce radical changes in this manner, has lead to societies that function worse, not better.

I think this problem is very closely related to defining a utility function to a superhuman AI, that you can trust to lead to good outcomes.

Because from a networking point of view, data caps is an artificial thing.

> Nothing is unlimited, so why pretend you can get an unlimited amount of data?

Your connection is not unlimited anyway; the max you can get out of it is MAX BW * seconds/month.

Since the providers don't have guarantees about the max bandwidth, it can vary depending on the demand from the other users, I don't see why you need an artificial data cap.

One of the Home Depot's in my area had broken Wifi for multiple months. You could connect, and go through the disclaimer, but nothing was reachable through it. Particularly annoying because the other store, which is about the same distance away, has working Wifi but horrible reception. Since I'm occasionally in each, I had to remember to forget the Home Depot Wifi and add it back in depending on when I wen tto different stores.

> "match (xs head)" is not described anywhere (on the page at all).

“A ‘match’ expression takes an instance of an ADT, matches on its tag, and unpacks its fields (if any) onto the stack so they can be manipulated.” (Under the “Algebraic Data Types” section.)

By a “traditional” tokenizer I mean “a tokenizer more like what you’d expect from a mainstream C-like programming language, not just splitting on whitespace like Forth does”. It has some superficial similarities to Forth (postfix by default), but overall has more in common with the ML and C families (Haskell, OCaml, Rust, C, C++).

The reason I decided to start labeling it a “systems” language recently is to get the attention of the people from C++ and Rust who I’d like to try it out eventually. The implementation isn’t nearly close to this, but the language itself is designed to be easy to implement efficiently (strict evaluation, guaranteed tail call elimination, unboxed data types, no GC or nontrivial runtime required) and has a lot of static structure available for the compiler to do optimisations (static type and effect system).

Kitten’s docs are perpetually in an awkward state because I’m the only one working on it regularly—they’re usually slightly behind the compiler version I’m actually working on, and occasionally describe language features that aren’t yet implementation features (i.e., they should work but are known to be buggy/incomplete in the current version). I’m focusing on the next major round of changes to the compiler, which I hope is the last before a release, and I plan to go through all the docs and flesh them out as part of the eventual release process.
And yet, they performed targeted attacks against a number of prominent women in the games industry, so much that these women had to relocate multiple times for fear of their personal safety.

Interestingly, the FBI got confessions from some of the attackers, and decided not to prosecute. http://www.businessinsider.com/gamergate-fbi-file-2017-2

Just because they didn't have a central organization, doesn't change the fact that it was a movement that caused a lot of damage. In fact, there's a parallel with the Alt-Right.

Many terrorist organizations operate with individual cells who work independently, so that they can't implicate each other. I'd still call that an organization.
This is game changing. Thanks, I can't wait to try this out.

It's an interesting story to me, but I wish there was a shorter, more to-the-point version that I could bookmark/share.
To suggest that Gamergate was about the "targeted harassment of women" and not censorship in gaming is a complete mischaracterization of the issue - one that has been repeatedly pushed by those on the pro-censorship side.
It sounds like you're suggesting folks reporting non-overt events as harassment are potentially falling victim to misattribution?

That is, they're drawing the wrong conclusion for, say, a rebuke or lack of praise.
Why isn't the developer involved in the design? Might help to point out elements of the design that would take large amount of effort to implement faithfully.

I thought of that when I read it as well. I wouldn't consider passing over a woman for advancement as "sexual harassment". Fortunately it doesn't matter too much in this case because both kinds of behavior are relevant to the study.
It’s not surprising if you read in the docs that it is an intended feature.
I think the first one (the list i gave is for that) since it seems to have the most tools and documentation available out there. After that Quake 3 seems to be the most popular, but that is multiplayer only (not that some people didn't try to make singleplayer mods though :-P).

Kerberos actually operates on keys. The nfs service key is typically a random one stashed in the keytab.

I don't understand the objection to Kerberos tickets -- it's a single-sign-on system. You can obtain a ticket with a public key if you want, see e.g. http://www.h5l.org/manual/HEAD/info/heimdal/Setting-up-PK_00...
I don't know how easy it aould be to use SSH keys, but I once designed an authentication system for a scientific facility that was based on PGP keys and a web of trust reflecting administrative/social structures in the days before things like Eduroam and (viable?) NFS4, but not before AFS, which has been successfully used in the same way for a long time.

I don't know why anyone would think "Kerberized" wouldn't involve Kerberos, but it's nothing specific to user directories.

OrangeFS (nee PVFS) is a userland parallel filesystem (with a kernel driver in Linux) that can use two types of public key security if you want that sort of thing, but I gather that's not widely used.

For example, I'm developing a 1-person chatbot platform and I want to run botkit processes inside the app so I don't need a backend. It can't be done with React Native but could be done using node-android or nodejs-mobile.

It's hard. Bosses can (and should) be able to fire for poor performance, but then an abusive boss can invent a "performance" reason to fire an underling for resisting harassment. And it does happen, all the time, which leads to a lot of underreporting of harassment, for fear of getting fired. It's no different from the need for whistleblower laws, really.

A heavy, bureaucratic firing process protects underlings (somewhat) from abusive bosses, but at a cost of protecting incompetence. You'll see this in any big corporation, and a great many academic jobs as well.

The whole idea of tenure in academia is to protect academics from retaliation so they can speak freely. But their lab assistants and secretaries and such get no such protection.
Also forgot the biggest reason: "they allow you to buy and sell volatility".

Ok, but volatility isn't an asset. So this must be the original "synthetic asset", long before all the other exotics came on the scene.

On one hand, why should I care what other people do with their money. But what worries me is that with normal markets, assets have intrinsic value: corn, oil, securities. They're all things people want. The market can always assume this is true, but with synthetic "assets" like trading volatility, it's not true and that creates a market built on a false pretense.
A better approach is to draw attention, start new institutions, do independent research, and the like. As with most revolutions, burning things down wastes energy and just creates a vacuous wasteland that is often filled with all manner of vermin. Successful, new institutions would demonstrate that a viable alternative is possible. The idea is that by demonstrating something better, the defective ones will need to change their ways or suffer extinction.

Do you have a reference to where Hadley et al. suggest using factors in a key-value system? I'm reading Wickham's books at the moment and have not seen this assertion. Indeed, I believe he would not state this, as he explains the utility of factors explicitly:

A factor is a vector that can contain only predefined values, and is used to store categorical

> the forced censorship of games by those who found them "offensive" or "not inclusive enough".

This is false. No one proposed censorship. They proposed and created new games that were more inclusive. In doing this, they also criticized mainstream games. The narrative of censorship was invented by GamerGate.

And clearly, their version of events was so compelling that others repeat it as fact.
Well you would say that, would you ;-) I will agree with you that it is a very good language from my explorations, which is why I recommended it. It's one of the most mature languages that I've listed and has three excellent compilers. Some might say that its relatively slow GC is it's main disadvantage but that is obviously only going to affect certain classes of applications and the parent already stated that GC is not an issue for their work. The programs that I wrote in D were all highly performant compared with other languages. I also didn't find the language level support for concurrency to be as easy to use as either Go's or Rusts, but again, that's probably just me. Anyhow, I wanted to thank you for all of your efforts with D.

Who here thinks that all sexism is sexual harassment? And why?

> I'm going to do science. But on my own terms.

Hey, I'm interested in this. I already quit my (non-science field) job and started a company. :-) But I'm just getting started on science. I'm using scientific principles, but I want to advance my practices.

From what I can tell so far, measurement-based or evidence-based science (hard science) is inextricably linked with the concept of society, because "that good which can be packaged and successfully transmitted across a network of social bonds" is really the main goal measuring systems serve.

Unfortunately, measurement science is also extremely shallow by its objective nature and facilitates what might be called "information pornography" when it has become too far removed from the subjective realm. Because measurement is also the art of using labels for things, the definition of (and blind spot of) "science" within this kind of institution I'm reading about would lean hard toward "labeling".

It seems that no matter how far we try to outrun the subjective, qualitative realm, our caricatures of it are really what haunt us most about it. So to sum up, what I'm looking for is reasonable measurement-based science _in society_ linked up with deep, high-quality subjective science.

Does any of this ring any intuitive bells with you? I am looking not for yin to win over yang, but for ways as a _non-professional scientist_ to meaningfully combine these aspects--to link up with others who are willing to philosophize, theorize, take measurements, remain open to new ideas, etc. within a framework that is not so swayed by some of the shallower measuring incentives, but still meets reasonably high standards.

Would love to get your thoughts--thanks for your comment and sorry to hear about your experiences at the institution in question.
