It's an intriguing story.

Not to be too conspiratorial but one simple answer is that the US Feds asked Bloomberg to give the story legs, as a public signal to China. Either to raise the issue of China planting spyware chips on goods, or for some other political reason.

The CIA et. al. definitely have relationships with the big press outlets and stories are placed for reasons of national security. Not quite 'propaganda' but definitely for 'national cause'. The press is used as a way to communicate, as if to say 'we know this, and now the world knows, hint, hint' ...

She seems to be implying that she has one hell of a fix for the Linux kernel, but she’s not sharing it because Linus is mean to contributors. I can’t fathom how awesome this fix must be for her to write about it twice, and she doesn’t go into any detail.

Not the parent and I wasn't around either, but I think accessibility of education counters your point, not supports it.

More egalitarianism should in theory be more favorable to women.

Back then I imagine it was much harder to program without access to university computers and education materials.

More women get higher education than men compared to 35 years ago.

More incentives (monetary and otherwise), combined with lower barriers to entry should also be favoring the supposedly disadvantaged.

And yet the drop in F-M ratio since late 1980s has not been overcome last time I checked.
My first impression is that I am more receptive to ideas related to Fitness (and eyes), but not so much about Diet.

That maybe specific to my own lifestyle choice, but I find dietary plans too intrusive and lacking in context(my health, dietary needs, food availability etc).

One big change is that many traditionally male high paying jobs like doctors, lawyers, etc. have become much more open to women. Some, like publishing, have become majority women to the same degree as Tech.

One very likely explanation is that many women who wanted to be independently financially successful had few choices other than tech back decades ago. Now they have many other choices.

It's a Stallman copypasta, but in this case I think it's justified. The definition of "Linux System" appears to refer to a Linux distribution which would include GNU and countless other projects than just the kernel. Seems like really strange wording since it'll likely just cause confusion and lawsuits down the track.
Yeah, that's a pattern we used all over the place in games where we also abused the hell out of pointers(some in-place loaders I've seen would turn your hair white) because the pattern has other merits.
Protocol buffers are definitely not perfect. As of 2014 in Java the biggest issue was that you could not have different versions of protobuf [easily] running in the same VM due to the fact that protobuf generated version-dependent implementation code for IDL. So if one library depended version X of protobufs and another library depended on version Y, you had a problem because Java will only load one protobuf jar file. (Maybe it's been fixed but it was a problem then.)

That said...I used protobufs to encode the log of Tungsten Replicator, a replicator for MySQL. We did not have a single version related error while I worked on it over a period of years. That was essential given the fact that replication logs are an on-disk format that must remain stable across version upgrades. Our logs in aggregate contained billions of transactions--you can't not read an older log file just because you are running a new software version. The claim that protobufs do not handle versioning is nonsense.

A rhetorical question about whether other countries would spy on citizens if the US were to stop. (Hint, the answer is that they absolutely would continue).

> You create a 2 country elementary payoff matrix for that game and tell everyone what the Nash equilibrium is.

I think this is saying that there is nothing for other countries to gain by stopping surveillance programs, even if the US were to. This is the Nash equilibrium[1].

> you probably shouldn't be using elaborate data structures in streams/files.

I don't consider Option<T> a particular "elaborate" data structure, but protobuf would benefit heavily from. Instead, as the author alludes to, you're forced to do different things depending on which side of the message/scalar dichotomy T falls on; if it's a message, you get Option<T> essentially for free, as a submessage can always be omitted. (Which is bad in the case that you just want a T; protobufs will happily let you forget to encode that attribute, and happily decode the lack thereof at the other end, all without error, despite the message being malformed, as it lacks a way to express this — rather common — constraint.) If T is a scalar, you get to use one of the WKTs.

See this GitHub issue for more context: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/1606

I work with data where most attributes outside of the attributes that compose the key identifying some object are quite possibly unknown. Our data comes from messy datasets, and while we clean it up as best we can, sometimes an attribute's value is unintelligble in the source data, and it is more pragmatic to move on without it. In SQL, we represent this as NULL, in JSON, null, but protobuf makes it rather difficult, and this frustration is evident from the other posters in that GitHub issue.
I think one angle the parent may have intended is that immigration increases labour supply and thus depresses wages. This argument ignores the fact that immigration generally grows an economy and in many countries it's a critical driver. This goes doubly for highly skilled immigration - particularly in the tech industry. I've worked with extremely talented folks who'd come to the US from all over the world, raising the bar at the world's top tech companies. Anyone who's worked in these companies will tell you that it's the quality bar that's the biggest constraint on hiring. SV is a concentrator of technical talent - one of the reasons the ecosystem works so well (the other is access to capital).

Beyond that, I'd find it surprising that progressive policy should depress wages - conservative economic stance typically weighs in favour of Capital.

The ultimate irony of the parent post is that the values he strongly identifies with are those that thwart his dearest wish. Emblematic of the human condition?

If we can't find a way conventionally, at least there's always the option of becoming desperate, voting for populists and going to war sometime. After the war is over, there will also be more work because we've destroyed a shitload of infrastructure that now has to be rebuilt. Problem solved!
When people can't or won't confront the root sources of their ills (corrupt politicians monopolized by rich people), they scapegoat all sorts of other things to get their angst out unproductively: attacking ideas, movements and people. Populist fascists come along promising all sorts of cures, when they generally make things worse. After failing spectacularly, rebuilding from scratch is usually necessary. Repeat every 1-3 generations. And so it goes.

So congratulations I guess, you re-invented ASM.js on top of web assembly which was meant to replace ASM.js at first place?
Thanks for your comment, and for the new perspective.
No. But you have to examine use cases carefully including the assumptions. I think this has always been the case but people (in my experience at least) get a little dazzled by the massive scale of companies like Facebook and try to apply their solutions to problems for which they are simply not applicable.
And the thing about tests is that they can be gamed. Especially ones like the ACT where it's all multiple choice. If a student knows just a little bit of math, some key vocabulary and how to work their way around a calculator, they could easily get a score that's 25% above average (mid 20s; average is 20.7). The same can be done with the other subjects as well. The biggest issue with students taking it is (1) unmotivated people who'll never go to college being forced to take it and (2) not knowing how to game tests.

The second one can be taught, though.

> My experience with educational research is that researchers find per-pupil expense is directly correlated to improved achievement on standardized academic measures across all areas and for all variables in race/ethnicity, gender, age, and (obviously) socioeconomic status.

My experience as a teacher is to struggle to understand how it can't be directly correlated. Of course well-paid, well-benefited teachers are going to work harder, but there's much more to school funding than teacher pay. Quality of the school building, newer textbooks, all of that stuff comes into play with per-pupil funding. It's not hard to imagine that schools with higher per-pupil funding will have better resources and environments conducive to learning.

Thanks for the reply. I think we're sort of on the same page, at least with respect to opposing Neal's violent behavior

What I take issue with and find counter-productive is comingling the judgement of a person with the judgement of their (circumstantial) behavior.

I'm guessing that your original post was a strong reaction against the violence, but I also feel there's room to accept the person while still rejecting their behavior.

Anyway, cheers. Hope you have a good day.

I'm just not sure how relevant Usain Bolt's top speed is to whether women can serve in ground combat roles, to pick a long-standing gender discrimination based more or less on the sentiments of your post.
... no it isn’t. It’s saying the differences that do exist are related to sex, not gender - any statistical relationship to gender is mediated through the relationship to sex because gender is often correlated to sex ... but there are many people for whom this is not the case. So gender can’t be responsible for physical differences. Only sex, which is physical, could be correlated with physical/neurological differences.

Mac shipments fall 11% in Q3, IDC says
The US already sent most of these jobs offshore a few decades ago.

The situation is similar on Win10 (and the approach is also the same - sandbox apps have to use a certain API to invoke the file browser and get access to some files or folders).

But apps that don't do that because they're too old, just don't get access to the Store... or at least they didn't use to. Now you can ship non-sandboxed Win32 apps through the Store, and it doesn't even seem particularly obvious which ones are and which ones aren't. Windows 10 S only lets you install the sandboxed ones, but how many people use that?

So basically Windows couldn't solve that - the users ultimately decided that they care about stuff working as it did more than they did about security. I don't see why it would be any different on Linux.
From your comments I feel like I cam safely assume you do not do any serious work in ML/AI. It's not even close, and none of your examples are being threatened by advances in this area.

There's a similar language called StarLogo (http://www.slnova.org/), but the latest iteration (StarLogo TNG https://education.mit.edu/portfolio_page/starlogo-tng/) is focused on education and accessibility, and is a graphical block style language. There's a JavaScript framework based on NetLogo called AgentScript (http://agentscript.org/). I've also seen people use Processing (https://processing.org/) for agent-based modeling.

StarLogo and NetLogo were some of my first languages. Modeling real-world systems is an immensely powerful educational tool. It helps contextualize programming in a relatable way, and it helps you to learn about complexity and the way the world works at the same time.

Maybe the AI is just being honest...
Java only allows one version of any class within a single class loader. That's just how it works. So the problem was at the very least a limitation of the protobufs Java implementation.

Speaking of which, the generated code was incredibly convoluted with what seemed like tangled dependencies on the underlying protobufs library. I used to dread debugging it--sometimes I would have to go into it to figure out what the upper layers were doing wrong. Luckily it did not happen very often. And I don't recall ever hitting a bug in protobufs itself for all that the code was virtually unreadable.

> Make all fields in a message required. This makes messages product types.

Now you lost one of the biggest benefits of using protobufs, the possibility to make things backwards/forwards compatible. When you add a field to the proto, a server using the new version of the proto will fail to deserialize a request from a client using an older version that's missing that field.

The author mentions this later, but doesn't really address it/propose a better solution, as far as I can see.

I am learning Rust now, in an attempt to redo some Python scripts that run too slow (using threading). I was going to go with C (worked with it for years back in the 90's), until I stumbled upon Rust.

Rust is so easy to install and get up and running on any platform. But I am getting increasingly frustrated with documentation of many crates I try to use which were so easy in Python. For example serde, log4rs, clap (docs are pretty good).

For example, I can not find any way to change the log level in the log4rs implementation at runtime, or how to configure formatters with the yaml file.
