Speaking of smells, my initial reaction is that Disparate Impact smells broken. I can see pretty clearly how it would be possible to argue legally that advertising a job internally and not externally (to a company) is discriminatory. And following that further along, in this way, I can see a pretty straightforward method of declaring any job advertising as discriminatory under that decision. I think law like this is broken because it's like many (American) laws where it ends up selectively enforced, because the base of people violating the law is effectively infinite. So in that way it's not used to fight discrimination, but instead becomes yet one more way to fight the oldest battle in history: The battle to consolidate and preserve the power of existing institutions of control and weaken the influence of competition and punish outsiders.
Would you rather die to expose a masked error or live and leave in the masked error? That's what rules for critical systems are about. The time to fail fast is before production.
In context of a toxic enviroment this may be more like a reset. See who has substance and who doesn't. If you do this in a clear and fair way it doesn't seem unreasonable for a non-performing enviroment. The benifits and flexibility can return when earned and the bad eggs are discovered and removed.
>"while people claim it as a right, in fact what they want are privileges."

There's nothing European about it, despite the fantasy of Europe being comfortable with dictatorships. Driving a car is also a privilege in the US - try driving one without your state-sanctioned license to do so and you will discover that.

By the way, Members of Parliament are democratically elected so I am not sure how they fit in with the rest of the motley crew.
Mostly yes. The difference is rather than changing values, you are creating event handlers, actions, and their values. You can only trigger actions on events the game already has and execute actions the game supports which is defined in the game template. With that said, there is no reason why it couldn't support all the events and actions from the core game engine it uses. For this release the focus was for beginners and the options were minimized.
I would presume this would prevent a lot of tickets as you don’t have a normal license plate.

I love the idea of FIRE and I'm working towards it. However I find it's difficult to grasp and truly appreciate right now.

I need to be disciplined over several decades until I can reach it. Being disciplined isn't something that comes natural to me and it's sometimes very exhausting (applies to eating, exercising and sleeping a well).

Thinking about this awesome goal far into the future makes me sad right now. It makes it harder for me to be present and appreciate what I already have (also something I've always struggled with).

Therefore I try to avoid focusing on FIRE too much. I don't maximize my savings rate as much as possible and instead taking a more relaxed approach. I'm playing with the idea of going down to 50% at work and 25% for hobby hacking and 25% parental leave. This will affect my FIRE date but I hope it'll make me happier right now.
My anecdotal evidence says, yes, it can be very stressful on the marriage. :)

Profit doesn't matter growth matters. How can you live in the 21 century and still hold to the idea that profit is what matters? I mean we have seen so many company not make profit for a long time, were they all not successful?

I mean, Tesla could be profitable if they didn't fund massive amounts of expansion.

> Why does "big" == successful? I'm not saying money is the only thing we should ever optimize for, but I'm skeptical that growth is a viable alternative.

They are optimizing for money. They want more revenue, not more profit.

The question is not if the company is profitable, but rather if each product individually can be profitable.
Equal opportunity doesn't mean equal candidacy.

Women are not prevented from applying for these jobs, nor are the ads hidden from women. But real-life demographic analysis shows that men are overwhelmingly the qualified demographic for this role.

Advertising to that demographic is not against the law, and it is not discrimination. Forcing employers to waste resources equalizing the advertising efforts across worthless demographics is just fucking stupid. Stop this social justice warrior insanity.
Effective policing generally doesn't mean that people can just flout the law whenever they want. That would suggest to me that particular law cannot be effectively policed. However I'm willing to concede that "effective" is a subjective term so we could both argue our points are correct.
I agree with the other person who replied. Couldn't they also say that they need women for pat downs of women, etc? So they have a legitimate reason for encouraging women to apply?

This reflects my experience with France (living just next to it, spending most weekends there). It is truly a beautiful country, but system and mentality is something I will never ever want to live in.

They don't have democracy, they have anarchy - when any industry decided it wants more money, they take rest of the country as a hostage and they don't give a fraction of a fck about consequences to others lives (trains, airlines, taxi drivers, farmers, anybody). In other couturiers those people at one point would go to jail. You want to fix a broken heater in an apartment? Well it took 1.5 years, ping pong excuses, with ridiculously high costs. Trade jobs are ridiculously protected, to the point where there is no competition and end user pays eye-watering sums for mediocre services. French colleagues, patriots they may be, prefer much more hiring Portugese or east European workers to french ones. And its not only about prices, quality and motivation is worlds apart.

I mean, many young still think communism is some ideal to strive for, that tells you enough how good spirited but desperately naive and out of touch with real world this country is. This gap is going to widen much more before it will get better. To think they want to create startup hubs is a joke, and a very bad one. I mean, even Macron has some pretty sour statements about how messed up and unfixable French state and mentality is. And he has nothing to win to publicly state those things, only to lose.

It's a typical place which has huge potential, due to its location, beauty and human 'capital' (highly educated masses), but never will come even close to realizing this potential for many reasons. The system is broken, everybody is doing whatever they want and fck the rest, rules and law are a joke to ignore and resist, corruption is very high (and like ie marital cheating, is semi-accepted as 'a french way').

The only sane discussion about these with a french person can be if that person has lived outside France for some time. Otherwise its always 'France is the best country in the world, end of discussion'.

You think these are some outsider's sour opinions? No they come mostly from my french colleagues.
If you don’t update, you will be subject to an exploit, and you and your devices will then possibly be unwitting members of (possibly multiple) botnets.

Not updating for X days just increases the risk from only zero-day exploits to the risks of X-or-less-days exploits.
Practice, practice, practice. I used to be unable to do presentations, unless I had practiced them out loud twenty times in the days before the presentation.

I wouldn’t write a script and stick to it word for word, I’d make slides and general points and then practice them out loud until I got them right.

After a few years of doing this, I only had to practice a few times.

Today I can stand up anywhere and talk about anything to anyone without notice. But it was a long road getting here.

I still get the same feelings of anexiety, but the way they effect me has changed with the practice. Where they’d once made me mumble and lose my train of thought they now motivate me. I still get red cheeks once in a while, but I’ve learned to laugh it away.

So practice, practice, practice, but it’s a lot of hard work. I mean, practicing a 30 minute presentation 20 times takes maybe 12 hours, and if you’re anything like I was, there is no short cuts.

I really enjoy a separate app as opposed to a browser tab. For one thing I can push it out of the way up in my task bar. I don't live in Slack and only use it occasionally, so it's nice to have it close by but not in my face. Also, the ability to quickly alt-tab to/from it makes it much more accessible for me.

I tried to use the browser version and it works well enough, but it broke my workflow and was distracting. The app has its own set of problems but at least it lets me work the way I want.
Yes, as the sibling says they'd be using disc wheels. I'm a bit surprised that for the OP's speed record they weren't - maybe they were more worried about crosswind wrecking the effort, versus absolute efficiency.

With rollers (what I'd think the "treadmill" discussed above actually is), and a normal road bicycle, you can feel, or at least hear, the resistance just from the spokes in a spoked wheel when you really get get them spinning "real world" fast.

On fancier road race wheels, the spokes are "bladed" for this reason - their cross section is flattened to minimise aerodynamic drag. Remember that when you're riding a bike in normal conditions, the top of the wheel is hitting the oncoming air at up to twice the speed of the bike. Though, there's also a substantial amount of appearance/marketing/armchair-engineering around...
To further thicken the plot imo NSA and other TLAs are a red herring in a world where WhatsApp was acquired for ~20B. I don't believe for one sec that messaging app peddlers just want to make sure users' conversations are secure.

This bug is very much like the most common mistake I see on Common Lisp stack overflow where one tries to mutate constant (quoted) data.

However JavaScript has no similar notion of constant data but implementations try to infer it as an optimisation. In this case that inference was wrong.

I think the memory structure looks something like:

arr -> box1 -> 1,2,3,4

Reversing:

arr -> box1 -> 4,3,2,1

But the data occupying the same region of memory before and after the sort. So then when the page is refreshed the JavaScript doesn’t change and the literal data must be included in the “parsed/compiled” form that is reused and so it is initialised as

arr -> box2 -> 4,3,2,1

The correct behaviour should be as follows:

1. arr -> box1 -> loc1: 1,2,3,4
2. Reverse
3. arr -> box1 -> loc2: 4,3,2,1
4. Refresh
5. arr -> box2 -> loc1: 1,2,3,4

The “box” corresponds to the JavaScript object for the array (so mutating the array data can change the box, the data it points at, but not just the reference “arr” as the object might be pointed to from elsewhere). And this box has another pointer to the data for the array (and presumably some bit flag to say whether that is copy-on-write or not). This allows for more efficient array functions when the data doesn’t actually change

Procedural House Production
I've seen this go both ways. It depends on how funtional/dysfunctional other parts of the organisation are. If they're as competent as you and just asking for things they genuinely need, cooperation is great. If they're not, they turn into "help vampires" and you have to put up a firewall to prevent them destroying your productivity.

I think my current workplace suffers from too much team defensiveness + not having a CTO or equivalent to integrate across teams.
It depends on the task at hand. The traditional project management knows three resources: Time, Quality and Budget.

So if the job requires a very high level of Quality you might start by telling people you want them to do it right and time doesn't matter (it's not precisely correct but pretty clear). If nothing gets ever done at all, you might need to talk again ;-)
The parent post allude to the fact that many companies do already advertise exclusively to a single gender in the name of outreach. You can not just throw around the idea of "protected classes" to mean that discrimination is acceptable except when it benefit men.

If targeted job advertisement based on gender is illegal then let make that the new norm. The extreme end on both side of the so called gender war will be against it and hopefully the majority in the middle will be in favor of it. I strongly doubt however that the law can currently be used to push this since so much of out reach programs have been using targeted job advertisement.
So if I were to say,

"Hey guys, you can get two ounces of pure, uncut cocaine right here, right now... Just send me cash via PayPal and I'll post it to you today!"

and no HN moderator removes this comment, then I have posted an unlawful advertisement on HN. By your standing, the operators are now violating the law as soon as a moderator glances across this shitpost, and would require punishment.

While that's clearly a ridiculous thing at face value - and I am likely coming across as obtuse by mentioning it - it highlights just what's wrong with your position I feel. I would consider it unrealistic to expect a large-scale content platform like facebook to be liable for individual ads. (Perhaps they could be proactive in reporting offenders to the correct authorities, but a knee-jerk punishment doesn't seem appropriate to me).

Is there any cycling record category that doesn't try to reduce wind? Time trialists use special bikes and gear to reduce the effect of the wind. Road racers try to be behind someone that can block the wind for them. This is yet another category with the same theme.
> Makes me think of the contrast with Felix Baumgartner who in his 2012 historic jump intentionally missed the free fall time record by a few seconds to not take every single record away from the previous holder, Joseph Kittinger, who held them for 52 years.

That's what I call having a class and deserving my respect. Yelling some stuff about beating 23 year old record, well, has not. Materials improved tremendously, and out understanding of achieving high speeds too.

It's like topping some old Everest record speed ascent when materials got much lighter, critical gear more reliable etc. And then yelling at Messner to beat it. Not cool at all...
Never. I'm a data scientist myself and know many other so-called data scientists. But coming from an engineering background, I pretty much agree with you. & interestingly, all of the ppl I know who claim they want to write an OS one day are all data scientist. Seriously! They don't even know what's unit testing!!!
typo: I meant I can't recommend them enough to have more understanding about this topic.
Not sure my favourite manager _was_ great. But at one startup our CTO was so completely devoted to agile and TDD that he somehow completely protected us from deadline pressures and technical debt. It was the least stress I've ever experienced in my career, and the best code I have ever written. That said, I don't really think the business case or costs on the project ended up making a lot of sense and the product never launched (the problem it mitigated against was actually solved by EU litigation in the end).
No, I want less policies based on common sense that government is the lease competent spender and decider.
Yes - the do-nothing situation here is that the UK leaves the EU, it’s international agreements with the EU, and almost all of it’s worldwide international agreements, which are negotiated through the EU. For those who’ve read the term but don’t know what it means, this is “No Deal”.

With regards to cancelling article 50 - there is no precedent for it, but there was no precedent for using it either. It’s considered an ornament. A lawyer who wrote it insists it should be revocable - but nowhere in law says it is revocable. Or irrevocable for that matter. So those who want to reverse it should plan on getting total unanimity from EU27+U.K. because anything else might not be enough.
THE RIGHT MESSAGE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE
I suspect bad. Literal data is common. Reversing is (reasonably) common. The spec required that whenever one constructs data with a literal the resulting object will have a different identity, and that (regular) arrays with different identities do not alias.
I've watched a video[0] from Fox News few months ago, the key point been the "unfair trading" problem should be addressed through WTO rather than direct tariffs, and those tariffs maybe against WTO's rules.

Also, many people here maybe don't know, China is suing the U.S. for those tariffs. Maybe wait until it played out, the everything will be a bit clear.

I don't know how people in the U.S. view this trade war, but in China, many people already start to treat it as a new normal now after realizing it will be a long lasting one. Jack Ma for example, believes it will last for ~20 years.

I also watched another video[1], which is a voice recording from a seminar, the speaker was Jin Yi Nan[2], who is one of the "Hawks" in China. In that recording, other than trying to calm the listener (mainly business man I assume) down, he made few points, which been (I oversimplified it, somebody can do a full translation of the recording if interested):

- We (China) had problems, but the U.S. also had problems. At the same time, they (The U.S.) had advantage, we had ours. We're actually chained together (trade war will be bad for both, and they are hurting themselves while we facing the challenge).

- Chinese business should keep trying to enter international (including US) market and make investment, regardless the trade war.

- Trump's idea is frozen at '40s, and we (China) will be more open (more participation in trading and welcome international investment).

I think it sort of reflects the idea of some people inside the China government, or at least showing how the government want people to think of the trade war.

On the bright side, by the time all of this ends, it will be a very good topic to discuss with our future high-schooler kids.

We just need one 8k screen per eye, which will be doable as soon as 8k smartphones are on the market.

Sadly having an 8k screen on a smartphone seems mostly pointless, and achieving the necessary economies of scale is hard with VR headsets alone.

My biggest hope is a paradigm shift in UI design. Everything we have is designed to accommodate low resolution screens. With ubiquitous high resolution screens UI patterns from print like "lean in to read this detail" become viable, and if popular would justify much higher display resolutions, directly benefiting VR.
"Sure, you might be able to hit your girlfriend with the hammer, but the relationship would probably improve more if you talked about the problem."

Or, rather, if the relationship ceased before violence entered the equation.

(In case anyone complains about pessimism, a friend of mine says often: "Relationships can only end in one of two ways: death or breakup." I'd rather think of it as a stoic position.)
When I was in Denmark, many downtown roads were close to cars, making them pedestrian malls. Unfortunately, certain traffic was allowed, such as official vehicles. There was just enough of them to pretty much ruin things. You couldn't just amble down the street without having to constantly get out of the way of them.

It's like being in the airport concourse with those electric golf cars racing between the pedestrians with their interminable annoying beeping.

>if your program depends on the stability of hash-table enumeration order, you're doing something wrong in the first place

The point is not all programs are correct.

If you're trying to reproduce a bug that occurs in the release version, but goes away in the debug version (because hash-table enumeration order changes) that makes life more difficult.
I had a great English class in university where the professor agreed fully, and went so far as to really engage the class in doing the opposite. Instead of the 5-page minimum paper filled with flowery prose, it was the 2-page paper in which you concisely argue your point and leave it at that. A lot of the class really had difficulty adjusting their writing style to be concise and convincing instead of superfluously padding their point to meet a quota.

I'd love if this is something we saw more frequently in schools.

I wonder how fine that legal line is when an outreach program is using Facebook advertisement. How common is that they tick that gender box rather than adding some line of "women and people of color strongly encouraged to apply".
