To paraphrase Judge Dredd on this one, The Law is what's most important. The law is written to oppose injustice and as part of doing so, inequity Follow the law. Work to have it changed if you think your public persona can survive fighting the EEOC's existence and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But follow the law first whether you like it or not, whether it's "profitable" or not.
A few things strike me about France's 'cultural preservation' type approach - firstly, in preventing change a decision is being made that a period in time represented the high water mark for France's development, and that change from that point can only be negative; given that before this period change was allowed, and that indeed it was change that led to the perceived high point, isn't it strange to now say: 'no more change, change is bad!'.

Secondly, who gets to determine what industries/culture gets preserved, and what process is used? I'd be surprised to find out there is any kind of consistent process behind this.

Thirdly, aren't these booksellers supposed to be businessmen after all?! Perhaps if they are so attached to a goverment-protected role involving culture they would be better off in a library or museum.

Whenever I have to speak publicly, I try to channel Barack Obama. He talks so ... slowly. He pauses so ... ... long between sentences. It feels like agony when you’re doing it, but it works. In reality the pauses are never as long as you imagine, and it gives the audience time to absorb what you’re saying.

The only problem I can see is mixing strings and numbers. But there are probably more errors someone pro types would say is type errors while someone pro dynamic/loose typing would say is not ... Here's a nasty bug that took me like two hours to debug (this is only two lines, but imagine a sea of code where such thing could easily hide). Can you spot it ?

var foo = [];
foo.push["bar"];

You could say it's a type error. It's however not caught by neither TypeScript or Flow.

Compiler/runtime can create two pointers with different integer values that point to same memory address. The article explains a few reasons why that might happen. It's very uncommon, but it's valid in the standard.
Wow. You know, I read your original comment with the opinion that it was very programmer-centric but this narrative made me think deeper about what you're trying to say.

I think Evernote sucks and they need to refocus, things that have already been said to death. But it's amazing how a narrative, storytelling, can make me re-examine my own initial opinion like that.

As much as I like to see a car free HK, there's still a lot of need for vehicles in those areas, banning cars, especially in HK is not the solution.

If you want people to walk more, make the city actually walk friendly, even a short walk from my apartment to the MTR station is annoying; people just randomly walk anywhere, making it impossible to enjoy walking. There's aircons leaking constantly, little newspaper stands blocking the sideways.

I really enjoy walking, but in HK it's really not that fun.
It has an incredibly impressive feature set for an open source application, but it seems to me too much effort has gone into bells and whistles at the expense of the basic functionality.

The thing that killed it for me is that unlike every other text editor in the world, you can't apply formatting to text until after you've typed it.
Could you expand on this? what do you mean by locking it down? EKS, GKE, AKS, and OKS (Oracle has their own now) and IBM's CKE are all wins to me. While I personally don't think people should be trying to tune Kubernetes into heroku (IMO you should build a layer on top of kubernetes for that), people are trying and succeeding in making it way easier to run applications on it.

Dumb managers are gonna do dumb stuff no matter what, but judging by how the widespread use of AWS did not in fact mean hiring less developers, it just changed the kind you needed to hire. I feel like the job posting just changed from sysadmin to sysadmin (for actual in-company computer management) + devops (for tech-side server management)?

That said, I'm also kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop on Kubernetes, it just seems too good to be true (minus the complexity of learning it of course). Well, thinking about it, I use gmail so maybe I traded my privacy in small part for this.

As the provided example states "For example, an employer's reliance on word-of-mouth recruitment by its mostly Hispanic work force may violate the law if the result is that almost all new hires are Hispanic."

We tried to set up a small startup of 3 people with the goal of offering a service for social bot detection, reporting and (eventually) removal. The assumption was that they are an annoyance and might be a danger to the public opinion and to brand reputation. We started on Twitter for our MVP.
We failed to generate interest in it and it turned out that social bots are actually mostly marketing tools by ad agencies to promote their customer's product. Their goal is to make a topic trending, so that real people start noticing it. There is a strong business case for social bots.
We should have created some Social bot toolkits, that would have probably worked much better...
> Why would you waste money advertising to women who don't want mascara or don't need pads?

Because you don't know in advance. It's entirely why advertisers offer so many different bits of information on you, to optimise this.

> I would think you'd be better of targetting people who bought some sort of eye makeup if you wanted to sell mascara, and target people who bought pads or tampons if you were selling pads.

And people do this, if they have this information. Of course, there's also the side that you don't want to advertise to someone you strongly expect to buy, because it's the conversions from no-sale to sale you care about.
Very clear, balanced and insightful, thanks!

No, there are a bunch of areas that have specific laws prohibiting gender discrimination. Employment is one of them, housing and credit also have similar laws, but not most consumer goods and services.
That's just nuts. You'd think that there are at least state-level regulations to have sufficient sidewalks, car culture or not. I mean at some point it's a health and safety issue (when you can't even get to the doctor's office across the street).
There's a new blog on Rust Qt Binding Generator with the most feature-rich application in it yet:

The full version is also free. It comes included with the Office365 installer, but can be downloaded on its own:

OneNote syncs to OneDrive - so if you have O365 your storage space is quite large, whereas free users only have 5GB (though compared to Evernote's 25MB this is still plenty)
Don't you mean was the future?

I have no idea what the current future is, all I know is that is doesn't include 3D TV sets and tablet computers replacing PCs (apparently, the PC can decline all on its own)
I disagree. If they know they are hosting employment ads, they need to be required to perform to legal standards. That means that, minimum, an employment ad should be seen differently than a regular ad by the algorithm and by the backend - no demographic weighting can be allowed within the protected classes; unless the employer applies for a BFOQ, makes it clear what that BFOQ is, and has it authorized by either an EEOC rep or an employment law professional within the ad platform (in this case Facebook). Otherwise they're clearly in violation of the law and knowingly so.
Personally, I am increasingly convinced that a lot of this hate comes from programmers with weak abstract thinking who simply cant do it. Instead of admitting that there is learning cure involved, they will claim the system is bad and everyone else is bad. Compounding factor is difficulty dealing with system that was written by different people who holded different opinions.

Yes, there are badly designed large system. No large system is perfect. However, there are also reasonably designed large systems, including in Java and Java is used in such system for a reason. It is more challenging to write large system. Yes, it is harder when parts of system are written in style that was considered best practice few years ago but was abandoned since then.

If you are spending a lot of time looking at millions of lines of Java that do almost nothing, them you likely dont really know what it what and need to read up more. At least that is my experience.
Totally reasonable! All the power to you for keeping the free tier! The free advertising is indeed a good addition.

Thank you very much for making such cool tools, best of luck with the product
Let me guess: your running Ubuntu. I say that because of your reference to "dist-upgrade". On Ubuntu that happens every 6 months. For Debian it's more like 2 years.

Ubuntu is of course mostly Debian, just released 4 times faster. So it runs runs the latest shiny and but has 4 times less testing. It shows in the ways you would expect.

For what it's worth, we are moving to Debian from Windows on our most common install for very similar reasons you say you are ditching Linux: we are sick of things like WiFi drivers dropping out, the latest buggy Chrome being automagically installed. Well that and these are low end laptops, and Windows is very slow, occasionally taking second to response to a click on the start button (or whatever it's called now). Lxde is always instantaneous.

Oh, and why do you expect OpenVPN to be different on the mac?

The project is designed to help students to understand the basic of coding logic using their voice. Think of it more like a coding lesson for beginners. Many at this level use drag and drop coding. Code.org has many drag and drop coding lessons. The difference here is it uses voice. The recordings are not part of the code produced, just plain text. This version cannot make production like code, just add game logic to an already created game template.
Women in Tech: An opinion piece by a young female working in tech
> There seems to be some philosophical disagreement here: what obligation is there beyond the letter of the law?

Spoken like a true sociopath. The world doesn't exist purely for each and everyone to scheme their way through, the world is generally a much better place if everyone works to improve the world instead of their own standing in it. Here is where the disagreement comes from (very broadly speaking): Americans hold the utilitarian point of view that if everyone chases their personal goals the world will improve, while Europeans think the world will improve if everyone works towards common goals. In the latter worldview, the law isn't the only boundary to observe, it's merely the option of last resort.

Here's where the utilitarian approach falls flat: it only works if everyone is of comparable power. Having one or two mega-corporations that have more power than entire countries is not going to produce a universally better society.

> I'm sure it's satisfying in the short term to siphon off a fine here and a tax there from these companies

I'm sure it's equally satisfying for American companies to siphon off European profits to overseas territories while giving nothing in return.
A woman and a suspension fork, not what one would expect for a speed record, is it? Not to be sexist or anything, I love it!
It's not entirely different in the eyes of law - in fact, advertising a job solely in men-targeted magazines would be considered as a discriminatory recruitment practice and be just as illegal as these targeted Facebook ads.
Most of what you say are qualities I like managers to have too, but 'someone tried to ask us for help with someone else's project without asking her first--she was furious.' is a quality I do not value. I mean, protecting your people is one thing (an essential quality), but being furious because someone in need of help asked in the wrong order doesn't foster cooperation beyond the borders of the own team (causing silo mentality).

I don't know the companies culture and the people who asked for help, so maybe it was a good reaction at the time, but in general, I would advise being cooperative towards other departments.
Evernote is a company?
The code could use closures to split the expression or define local functions on the bottom of the surrounding function (a.k.a Haskell style). This would increase readability a lot.

I feel like slideshows exist to save the author time at the expense of the participants. Given that presentations always have more viewers than authors, this is rarely the right tradeoff.
Huh, for me it's opposite. Recorded myself practicing, thought I talked at a reasonably pace, but realized it was sooo sloow.. and.. boring.. to listen to. So I feel I have to deliberately talk faster.

Anyways, record yourself practicing, it's a great tool.

Those two things are often related.

The book was about the experience of jews, not Israel.

If someone's anti-Israel attitude results in them discarding the experiences of people who are merely jewish, then there isn't much difference between that and being antisemitic.

Once you resolve questions of values and fairness, you should be able to leverage data and metrics to achieve outcomes consistent with those values. Say you’re designing a jet engine. You decide what output parameters you care about optimising (maximum thrust versus fuel effiency, for example). You know that you can manipulate certain input parameters to influence those outputs. And you can use data to verify and iterate on your design. But all you can do is change inputs to a very complex system. The unbending rules of the system itself decide how those affect the outputs.

The problem is that most in government simply are not systems thinkers. They are focused on values and fairness, and believe that once you’ve identified those values, you can directly legislate those into outcomes. This thinking leads to spectacular failures (the war on drugs, the war on poverty, tough on crime, etc).
maybe a lack of focus as well. just look at those apps they brought out years ago, evernote food and the other contacts app

While I get the whole nostalgia factor, I just don’t get why they keep choosing to keep the worst part of these old systems, the stupid wired controllers! I don’t think being able to sit a comfortable distance away from the tv, without wires running in the middle of the floor, would ruin anyone’s trip down nostalgia lane.

I wish they hadn’t put FF7 on it though, because now I’m considering getting one. That was the first game I remember deeply falling in love with, and while I have bought it and played on multiple other devices, nothing beats playing it on that cheap plastic enterprise grey wired controllers. If FF8 & 9 were to also be included, that’s an easy buy for me.

There are a few games that if they don’t put on it, it’ll practically be a crime against humanity, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Toomba, Chrono Cross, Oddworld, and PaRappa the Rappa, to name a few. Though now that I’m thinking about it, I’m not sure I want to ruin my nostalgia goggles.

Hopefully Sony learned from Nintendo, and actually make enough so people don’t end up buying this thing for 5-10x the retail because they just can’t wait to try to relieve their childhood.
It's weird how easy it is to be shitty manager. If someone is otherwise excellent, but blames you for stuff you didn't do? Instantly shitty manager there.
It is odd, I agree. But on this specific topic I saw a) this weird tone shift seemingly overnight - while I really don't want to make this personal, a prominent individual adopting a quite different communication style to what they'd used before. And it came coupled with b) these inconsistent arguments that just don't make sense. Signal pushers smear those who disagree as "crypto nerds" and yet perfect forward secrecy, the one advantage their system has and the thing they use to argue for all the compromises they made in every other area, is the ultimate "crypto nerd" property: it's elegant and theoretically exciting but practically almost useless (I don't think I've ever seen a threat model where it actually makes sense).

This is the real answer !
Yes, it surely is a situation where this question should be asked, however the question has been asked and "we the people" have decided (and written into law) that in this type of scenarios equality overrides individual freedom.

In particular, it's been decided that in many cases (IIRC it starts to apply if the company has more than 15 employees) any person, male or female, does not have the right to decide what demographics their private company is composed of. That's it. This is the similar to "the right to swing your fist ends at my nose"; there is an inherent conflict between ability to choose demographics in your company and the ability of all demographics to get a fair job, we can't have both. We considered that this is a problem that needs to be solved and that such restrictions are going to be (part of) a solution. We may make different choices in future, but that's the one we currently have.
