Men are 42% of teachers at the high school level: https://www.aaeteachers.org/index.php/blog/757-the-teacher-g...

School administrators are overwhelming male: http://aasa.org/SchoolAdministratorArticle.aspx?id=14492

I'm male, and taught K-5 special education for 2.5 years in my first job out of college. Few men join the profession, and many of them leave for better paying jobs, but I think a huge part of it is society's willingness to make raising children women's work. This is the "oh Daddy is babysitting!" phenomenon happening at the professional level.
I've fought with/used a whole shitton of note tools, including Evernote and OneNote, and what I've finally settled back on is plaintext synced via Dropbox.

I don't even use Notational Velo anymore, since OrgMode converted me to an emacs zealot. Turns out, there's a workalike mode called deft that gets me all the same awesome search behavior.

On iOS, I use a mix of Drafts and Editorial (well, and BeOrg, for the orgmode files).

By going this way, I'm no longer dependent on someone else's product map for my notes. Sure, I guess Dropbox could become problematic or something, but there are other options there -- in this context, it's just plumbing.
Under "External Open Source Projects Using LLVM 7":

> Zig is an open-source programming language designed for robustness, optimality, and clarity. Zig is an alternative to C, providing high level features such as generics, compile time function execution, partial evaluation, and LLVM-based coroutines, while exposing low level LLVM IR features such as aliases and intrinsics. Zig uses Clang to provide automatic import of .h symbols - even inline functions and macros. Zig uses LLD combined with lazily building compiler-rt to provide out-of-the-box cross-compiling for all supported targets.

Nice shout out :)

It's not so much that they want to build crap (margins are better on "nice" things anyway) but that if you have to do something you may as well list it as a feature. It's like how all the electronic nannys on modern cars are advertised as features even though they're required.

Relevant illustration: https://xkcd.com/641/

Construction companies and contractors make money building things. An estimate, quote or contract for whatever work is being done typically includes a profit margin on materials, labor and anything sub'd out. If anything they want code that specifies everything be grossly overbuilt.

Heat is way worse than cold. Many people can't do harder physical activities once it's around 30 degrees Celsius and/or humid because they would pass out (me included, when it's over 28, I just drive everywhere because I can't stand it outside). The idea that someone in their full health would force me to bike onto the steep hill where I live (and 18 km away from my workplace) is extremely unsettling to me. Public transport is not an option - it takes 50 minutes that way (while just 12 min by car) and the buses and trams are constantly overcrowded, late (or don't arrive at all) - and you definitely can't transport a server (or groceries for a 5-member family) that way.

The problem is you chose to group your coworkers by gender in the first place, and then assign some trait to that group.

Your comments just end up reaffirming confirmation bias. It also reveals your own bias to automatically associate traits with a certain gender.

Why not group people by color of their eyes, handedness, tallness, and so on? I'm sure if you look at the coworkers with "good communication" you could find common traits that are not related to their gender. So why imply gender as the cause?

Anyways, I think it's something to be avoided and be aware of in your communication. I assume you didn't do it on purpose.

Governments should be competing for wealthy taxpayers. And as income sources become divorced from physical locations, they will be forced to do so more and more every year.

I run venture backed businesses. Teams are distributed. So I count days across the world and do not pay taxes anywhere (i am not a US citizen so it is much easier). In the process my company and I benefit from low cost of capital raised in silicon valley, low cost of excellent talent hired in russia, my personal expanded social network in markets in Asia. And it easily pays for itself just in terms of not needing to pay any taxes anywhere.

It just makes sense to live this way once you have high income, are building something that is not physically in one location, understand how to be healthy/social/etc while living in many places.

the current tax system has no future. the fundamental reason is that there is simply no point for anyone to pay crazy taxes. the United States (or any other country) just do not deliver enough marginal value from being there for more than X days per year to pay an extra 20-40% in taxes.

Wait, are you saying that being resistant to schedule work which both is recognized as appropriate for official working hours by the employer and which can be effectively performed during that time given the structure of the working day somehow contradicts the claim of necessary work that either cannot effectively be done during the official working day or is not recognized as necessary by the employer that must, therefore, be done outside that time?

Because from where I sit those don't conflict at all.

I think it is also out of laziness or simply forgetting to step out of one's own shoes sometimes. It's sometimes hard to explain all the technical parts of a project well to a newcomer who has 0 experience with a particular project when its something you've been working on for months at an in-depth level. We're all guilty of skipping small parts of explanation simply because subconsciously we've done it so much, or it is such a 'trivial' component of a given process or system.

These poor explanation and documentation patterns I find most often in open source (though it does indeed occur in industry software as well). A huge number of GitHub READMEs reflect this notion (even in npm packages, for example, that are downloaded 1000+ a week!).

To the author of software, the README may be perfectly clear, but for first time users of the software, it can be totally lacking and/or just plain confusing. I always try to be explicit as possible in my instructions and documentation in hopes to battle the field's poor explanation reputation. It's definitely a skill I always try to work on and get better at.
> Developers (OSS developers included) don't respect them and assume they're too stupid to be permitted to use anything but the safety scissors. After all, if they were worthy of creating things they'd be C greybeards.

Thanks for mentioning that too. I loathe that mentality.

What people don't understand is that it hobbles the developers/geeks too. It causes us to build systems that waste our time futzing around with minutia. Bad UX and bad tooling is objectively bad in that it imposes needless cognitive load.

I learned this when I (almost cliche) switched from Linux desktop to Mac. I was amazed at how much more I got done when I didn't have to futz with drivers, config options, broken packages, etc. I now probably spend an hour a month messing with my computer compared to an hour a day.
Majority/minority are not strictly numbers in this context. Its more about opportunities whose limiting factor is age/race/gender etc.

> 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.

I think the key here is may. Nothing I have read seems to indicate that targeting men only violates the EEOC rules. The rule only seems to be if the result is almost all new hires are X.

What if we had a good pool of men working, and the company was a perfect example of diversity but found that it lacked women needed for a spot to keep their 50/50 ratio. Now let's say they had a lot of qualified men candidates already lined up. Why should the be forced to put ads out for men they know they won't hire because the next 5 hires are going to be women to keep their diversity ratio?

Side note (off topic), I was unaware of the EEOC rules on this sort of thing and am a bit shocked knowing that on HN and various places on the internet I have seen people promoting jobs that flat out say "POC or Woman applicants will only be considered". It Think Evergreen and UCLA recently had job postings with this type of wording recently. How is that not a EOC violation?

It's still N times the work. You trade rewriting the core for figuring out how to meld your vision to two different APIs, two different UI libraries, etc., and of course fixing all the quirks.
Thailand first. Then maybe I'll roam around. Vietnam, Cambodia, etc.
I'm not aware this is possible. The git commits form some kind of depended hash tree, so you can not "rewrite history" without screwing up that tree.

Meaning: If someone altered the code on GitHub, the current trunks hash would change. Subsequently, if Torvalds tries to push to this repo, he would receive an error.

Of course MS could offer Torvalds one "version" of the git, and everyone else a "tampered version"; keeping the two in perfect sync. But since the kernel git is also located on other sites, this tampering would show up rather sooner than later.

Edit, some small nit-picking: I think this should be prefixed with "Ask HN:" ;)

> Compare that to cryptocurrencies with volatile value

I was comparing the network, protocols, and interfaces that make the transaction happen, not the currency itself. Please don't take this as a endorsement of cryptocurrencies, because they do have problems.

Even with improvements you mentioned, there is just no comparison between the technical and mathematical simplicity of the cryptocurrency transaction as opposed to a bank transaction.

The blockchain was a truly genius innovation. It's that kind of out-of-the-box thinking that I believe we need more of and applied to more varied problems (and obviously not blockchain again, because that would be thinking in the blockchain box).

If you were really willing do to this, could you be so kind as to share your prognostication for where future disaster will strike with disaster planners? For you see, that task would require you at least 5 days of advance planning (assuming you were a champ at locating and ultimately selling them), probably more than a week in any actual executable plan. Even for well-forecast hurricanes, that is pushing it for advance notice.

Nobody wants less than code, because it won't pass inspection. Nobody wants more than code, because it would cost more money. So it gets built to code minus whatever the local inspectors can be expected to let slide.
>But the problem is the design and not the philosophy.

If the philosophy prescribes dozens of tools for managing complexity and no tools at all for reducing it than it is the problem.

"Abstractions, decoupling, and modularization of logic/responsibilty" are not some kind of universal good. They are only useful within specific contexts. A lot of software engineers do not understand this and routinely engage in premature abstraction. As a result they produce systems that are 10 times more complicated than they need to be for absolutely no reason.

Java definitely encourages this kind of mentality, because the language itself and its standard library lack in some fundamental areas. Introduction of lambdas and streams helped, a lot, but the overall mentality is still well-entrenched.

Coming out of high school, my writing was terrible. One of my history teachers assigned us ~10 page essays every other week. The class actually taught me pretty well to construct well-reason arguments with supporting research, but the only way I (or anyone else in the class) could produce that many pages that regularly was figuring out the _least_ efficient way to say what we meant.

My writing didn't really start to improve until college when I wrote some research reports for a semi-retired professor who took the time to wean me off my bad habits and write in a scientific style.

Sadly with some crazy UX changes - tapping on an action used to open it but now it runs it (which has caused me a few misfires already!) Plus the "pick an action from the list" is now a scroll-up pane rather than a scroll-sideways pane making it horribly more clunky to find what you're after.
It's perhaps worth to consider what does "quality children" mean in the context of a "good school" - and it could certainly be argued that one of the major criteria for parents moving in and choosing a school is to get their kids into a school where the other kids are of a comparable or higher socioeconomic status. The other things about the school are fixable by heavily involved parents, but you can't (easily) alter the peers which your kid has in school, only pick a school with "good" peers. Other things being equal, having your kid in a school with (other) poor kids puts him/her at a disadvantage, all kinds of poverty-correlated problems (e.g. parental neglect, parental drug abuse, nutrition problems, crime and imprisonment) drag down not only affected kids but also their classmates.
