> It's not hyperbole. If you're not allowed to hold a job because you're female, how is that much better than slavery?

You serious? Just to point out a few of the glaring problems with your position:

1) you're essentially offering up a straw man to over-broadly condemn a wide range of social practices (which you haven't demonstrated much understanding of);

2) your general assertion that married women (globally, I assume) were generally not allowed to "hold a job" is questionable on many levels (for instance, on a family farm, do you think the husband had a "job" but the wife did not?);

3) if you weren't aware: slaves are legally property that can be bought, sold, and killed if it suited their master, serfs weren't slaves and neither were wives.

"The trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 strikes me as GTA skinned-over with a generic 80s retro-future, but hey, that's just me." --William Gibson[1]

It's mentioned (and little more) in the article at the end, but it still seems odd to invoke Gibson's name and not talk about this more.

No, it's not remotely delusional.

What's delusional and troubling is the degree to which this war is completely misunderstood in pop culture.

The US handily won the Vietnam war, full stop.

In classical terms is was a clear and unambiguous outright victory.

Think of Korea for example: a stalemate, whereas the US obliterated their oppponents in Vietnam.

The US hardly lost a single battle and losses in the war are consistent with the losses forces have in a 'regular war' - it's just that they seem large today's because the US hasn't fought against capable forces. Losses were consistent with Korean war, just a decade previous.

The Vietnam experience is often misunderstood because the US technically did spend a very long time there, they had trouble initially with the South Vietnamese insurgency, because the US eventually resorted to heavy bombing campaigns with too many civilian casualties, and because of complex political issues such as North Vietnamese forces hiding out in Cambodia etc..

But really the 'hard war' was not very long - you can see the troop buildup and then withdrawal here [1]

The US 'under committed' to the effort early on, and then did a slower build up to defeat the insurgency, and relatively handily defeated them after the buildup and then withdrew after a major air campaign.

The length of direct engagement by US forces in Vietnam is shorter than for Iraq and Afghanistan, and roughly on par with Korea. The number of US casualties was roughly on par with Korea as well.

The Vietnam war is understood by most people via Hollywood films and very poorly conceived documentaries. It was a turning point in some ways because it's the first time that American citizens were given insight into how horrible war actually is (i.e. reporters on the front lines etc.).

Man, in the last couple of years I've been counting myself lucky in that I bought a late 2012 Mini with the fastest i7 offered. It appears to be downhill for the Mini from then on.
The Witcher 3 and its expansions are probably my favorite game of all times, and I've been gaming voraciously since the late 80s. The story, the connection to the characters, the feeling of immersion into the world, and the character of Geralt himself are not something I've seen in many other titles. Somewhat reminiscent of Final Fantasy 7 in terms of its impact on me as a participant to the experience.

The pressure on that studio to deliver something amazing couldn't be any higher.
Try to avoid the need for sshing into things and manually making changes. Your infrastructure should be as hands-off and automated as possible.

For URLs, you can use bookmarks or a custom homepage.

That was a much better take on Goodhart's Law than the Wikipedia article. It's easy to give up and say "Measurement is impossible!" but really we have to balance different factors and measurements are more dangerous at some times than at others.
For SSH, I use one key per service, and manage them via https://github.com/ccontavalli/ssh-ident - to ensure that each connection only has access to the key it should, according to the configuration, have access to.

I can't stress enough the importance of doing this - using either this tool, or something similar (like manually managing ssh agents).

Using one key only would mean that any server you ssh to has (assuming you forward the ssh auth/roaming) the ability to "forward" that connection, and do evil things with it. See https://blog.filippo.io/ssh-whoami-filippo-io/ for more about it.

Having multiple keys and only using an agent with the "right" key for the "thing" mean that each "thing" you SSH to would, in the above scenario, not be able to inflict any damage at all.

That is, ssh'ing into your personal dev box wouldn't give the dev box access to your work github account.

It's not "easy" to use ssh-ident, or create and remember which identities should be used where, but it's IMVHO easy _enough_.

If anyone knows of a better tool, or a better method, I'm all ears. I've thought about using multiple yubikeys or the like, but all methods I've so far found fall very, very short on usability.
You are right about that one... more of a "glamour" metric than something very useful (like when longest streak equals current streak which is the case for our internal dashboard [1]). In this case you know you've been very consistent over that time period. We will probably remove that one soon.

We do believe that at least with our product this kind of information it will inspire more confidence in our users when we publicize this information more (vs. lots of products that end up stagnating over time).

Depends on the jurisdiction. California is reputed to be relatively side-project friendly in this regard. Other US states less so. Likewise UK (which is a factor in why I’m on the way out of my current gig in a couple of weeks...)

Why be a part of something dysfunctional?
No, those are many of the other members in good standing. For better or worse, the UN Human Rights Council tends to be a political platform for countries with terrible human rights records. There's a distinct tendency to be more concerned with Israel than, say, Venezuela's or China's abuses of human rights.

The UNHRC is perhaps best considered an example of good intentions and inclusiveness being coopted by groups interested in neither.
Imo smart move. No income tax in fl, cheap housing, beaches, decent weather, toruism etc.

Making 50k in fl will net you more cash in your pocket compared to living in sf making 100k after your bills are paid.
I think that's the point. Manas is a fairly small consulting company without previous clout in the OSS world.

A large organization adopting it and supporting it would make a considerable difference regarding adoption.
I don't understand United State's extreme support for Israel. No one ever explains it. You just get either accused of antisemitim or that it's because of AIPAC money. But there has to be more to it than that, there is strong bipartisan support for Israel. Why is it so much in our interest? I'd love to get the real realpolitk explanation.
Crystal will eventually have go-style parallelism as well as go-style concurrency. It's a hard thing to implement, and we don't have the resources of google (in fact we have very little resources at all) so it's taking time. Until 3 weeks ago, nobody at all was working full-time on crystal, it was entirely a spare-time project, so progress is slow, i'm incredibly proud of what we've managed to achieve so far and looking forward to more in the future.

Probably -- the problem is that no one actually knows the word xenocide who isn't an Orson Scott Card fan.
Electron apps do tend to feel like their development is driven by bored designers who want to reinvent the wheel for the 5 millionth time and almost always favor form over function.

Don’t get me wrong, I prefer to use apps that look and feel great, but that shouldn’t ever come at the cost of functionality, responsiveness, etc. It’s a great example of where what benefits companies and what benefits users differs considerably (stable, functional, lightweight app vs. strong branding and cheap engineers).
Yes; the real problem is when a proxy is substituted for what is really wanted - for example, when lines of code written is taken for a measure of how much usefulness has been created, or the percentage graduated is taken as a measure of the effectiveness of education.

Proxies are not intrinsically bad, either, but they have to be difficult to achieve without also achieving what you really want - when this is not the case, making the proxy measurement a target motivates people to seek workarounds.

Life expectancy might be a proxy, but it is a pretty good one.

At the time, the labor pool wasn't truly global yet. It's one argument to pay living wages inside a closed-ish economy, it's another when low skilled jobs, especially in manufacturing, are done for pennies on the dollar across the globe. There's always tradeoffs.

I used OS/2 back in the day, when windows 95 came out, most people knew it was over for OS/2.

Generally you should already know its on the downslide. Easiest method IMHO is job listings. Search on Keywords of what you know.

As for what to do next, is a very tough. Anything you hitch up to can turn south. FWIW I looked at relational databases (before I was using OS/2) and decided there was not enough future in it. OMG was I wrong!

That being said, I suspect the real issue is how do you keep moving? The ideal answer is pick something broad, then hon in on a part, but be able to move to other parts. You were OS/2, can you leap forward to Windows or Linux, then specialize in a particular version of either? Everything you know about OS/2 is not dead knowledge.
Missing the forest for the trees? Cherry-picking?
I did this. Left a cushy corp job a few years ago, then worked on my own startup for 3 years. While we had some small funding, we could only pay ourselves very little salary (almost below livable standards for bay area, cutting into savings a little monthly), and in the end it had to shut down after 3 years. Went back to regular job (non-corp, an early-mid stage startup) after that.

I think the only factor that I have regrets about was financially. Not so much about having to cut into savings because I had good enough cushions anyway, but just realizing that I could've had 3 more years of high pay and stocks and padding the investment account with more money, and putting myself 3 more years away from retirement (or maybe more considering compound etc).

Other than that, entrepreneurship was an awesome experience that I wouldn't trade for anything else really.

Deep East Oakland is one of the most dangerous places in the country. It’s on a whole other level from an iffy gentrifying area like SOMA. It’s something you just don’t mess with. $1500-$2000 in one of Oakland’s more acceptable areas is likely fraudulent, or is actually advertising a room and not an apartment.
Yes. The messaging from Costco is that it's OK to eat this way. It feeds the overall mentality of unhealthy members that this lifestyle goes inline with their over consumption of oversized foods at Costco generally.

That there is nothing wrong with grabbing a hotdog, pizza, and soda on your way to pick up your blood pressure "medication" at the pharmacy once you're done stuffing yourself with the food causing your high blood pressure.
For better or worse, I think a good analogy is making a movie in Hollywood versus anywhere else. Yes you could make your movie in New Hampshire, but it'd be that much more inertia to find a screenwriter, to cast the talent, find the crew and get funding, etc.

And for tech startups, where time is of the essence and the secret recipe for making a blockbuster tech IPO is somewhat ephemeral, why risk it if the opportunity really is as amazing as you are telling the VCs and LPs.

Another aspect is a lot of startups have the back-up plan to get acqui-hired by FANG or Cisco which are located in SF/Bay Area, so it make sense to have the key talent on the team prepared for that eventual integration/docking with the mothership.

Neutrons are a pain to control as a beam because they have no charge, so methods employing electric or magnetic optics are not applicable. Typical pocket sources use the alpha(9Be,12C)n reaction to produce neutrons; if you have a reactor handy, you can moderate (slow) the neutrons produced and use them... this would be by far the most economical option.

As a nuclear chemistry PhD, I am highly skeptical of the practicality of this as an energy source.
We have an in house "go links" [0, 1] tool, which I update heavily as I work, so everything is always a few key strokes away. So if you want to access "foo", you just type "go/foo". If you want to access to the dev version "go/foo-dev". If the link does not exist you are automatically put into a UI to make the link then and there.

If you have an issue tracking or code review system you customize it so you can do "go/T123" and go to issue "T123". Or for common apps you can put in place simple patterns like "go/foo/id" and it opens that application to looking at that id.

Not in general, though of course lots of production language runtimes do involve a certain amount of GC-related jitter. But even where such jitter is introduced, it might not be a very big deal for something like TCP/IP.
A few things you can do at Costco without a membership:

* Eat at the food court
* Buy alcohol (in certain states, see below)
* Get an eye exam
* Get your hearing checked
* Fill prescriptions at the pharmacy

States where you can buy alcohol w/o a membership:

* Arizona
* California
* Connecticut
* Delaware
* Hawaii
* Indiana
* Massachusetts
* Michigan

* New York
* Texas
* Vermont

He's not half wrong - too little cyberspace internals in the trailer. Makes me wonder how this will be resolved, given that the game is based on Cyberpunk 2020, a tabletop rpg game written well before the mobile and blockchain revolutions.

This is anecdotal, but I manage my golf league scoring with a relatively complex multi-sheet spreadsheet. In 2005 I couldn't even open it in docs. In 2010 I could open it, but many formulas didn't work. In 2013 most things worked, but it was unusably slow. Today it works flawlessly in Google Sheets and I don't even bother opening Excel anymore for it.

I'd say they've definitely made some upgrades.

Or Charlotte. Or RTP. Or Austin. Or Phoenix. Or Chattanooga. Or all the other various wonderful places to have satisfying lives and careers and not pay astronomical rent. Seriously getting sick of hearing about the renting woes. Give them the middle finger and move. It's not worth it.
It really depends what the absolute value of the remaining 50% is. If it's <=$2k/month then yeah, that's pretty bad. If it's $5k/month then you can still live a very nice life and afford many things, in the Bay Area. Don't forget, products bought online still cost the same anywhere in the US (well, almost, there's sales tax involved).

I think people get way too caught up in "oh but I pay <insert large percentage> on housing, that's terrible". It doesn't matter. What matters is how much money you have left after having to pay for rent/mortgage, food, car lease/insurance/registration/gas and utilities. If that amount of money allows you to go to restaurants, go on world trips, buy the latest gadgets/hardware then who cares.

I feel that people complain about this because they imagine some kind of unrealistic scenario "oh, I make $150k/year, imagine how much I would be saving if my rent/mortgage wasn't %50 of my income". Newsflash: rent and mortgages are that high _because_ you (and many others like you) make that amount of money, so pick your poison :) Of course, it's a completely different situation for most people that aren't working as engineers for tech companies in the area...

So basically it seems that you're saying that women need to be willing to suffer and live in lousy relationships so that they can keep shitty men from turning violent and also so children can grow up in idealized 2-parent families (many with these men with violent tendencies).

The way I see it, the reason our society seems to be falling apart now is that women now have power and wealth, and aren't forced to settle for lifelong marriages to shitty, abusive men and being relegated to being full-time mothers whether they want that life path or not.
I have not yet read the post, but this trend of striking people off for their mistakes gets on my nerves. The morning I was reading an article on NYT comparing Einstein's remarks from his visits to Asian countries, which are rather racist, and his standing with the black in the American racial conflict. Tge possibility that he discovered the falsehood of his previous thoughts, if we take them as racist ones, and changed his ideas and stance is completely ignored. We make mistakes, sometimes we learn better.

The best guess I've heard is that it's actually a kind of understanding among the USA, Israel, and the other Western countries.

Waste and the associated expense thereof, for one. Especially for professional use - there is an average waste of half of the last roll of film on every shoot, and that means 8-12 wasted frames on 220 versus 4-6 on 120. For the consumer side, a very large percentage of cameras used a window on the backing paper for frame counts, something that would be disastrous for 220. And for anything that used a pressure plate rather than just film tension to maintain film flatness, you'd need to have an adjustable plate (many cameras didn't have that).
