Honestly, scientific literacy does jeopardize the "personal God" concept, and in particular obviously the Christian mythology. There are still plenty of christian scientists though, some more keen on the moral teaching and community aspect of the religion, some interpret the texts as non-literal (a tiny minority I presume cling to literal texts).

I mean, I'm all for more engagement and scientific literacy, but let's not pretend there isn't some conflict here; specially for the more hardline churches -- while catholicism in particular seems happy to transition its role (into important lessons and social support) and turn dogma into allegory.
If the app is pretty simple, you could get away with writing it natively for each platform instead of worrying about making one version cross-platform. This way it will look native on every platform and it shouldn’t be significantly more work, assuming your app is fairly simple.
> Going against our primal instincts is essential for a productive society.

I’m debating with myself about that statement. Is the goal of society a high amount of productivity, or stable, happy families and relationships? It seems means and ends are getting mixed up.
That's it! Thanks
I'm pretty sure it's a skill to be developed, although certainly some find it easier to develop, and some use the new freedoms of adulthood to choose not to develop the skill.

Based on my experience, and that of my peer group, I've decided it's important to try to make sure children have some experience with things that are hard, so they can start developing skills to handle it. For some (most?), this may not require anything extra; for others, it requires extra effort to provide activities that are actually a challenge, but also engaging.
Boo for whining about downvotes and accusing everyone who doesn't agree with you of being alt-right.

You're being intellectually dishonest here. You expect to be able to share your point of view without critical response but you insult others for expressing theirs.
I'd like to double-down here on the benefit of having a local installation of a reverse proxy vs what yum/apt gives you.

Though this is the main reason I use Caddy over Nginx. I have my Caddy executable and config for all my projects right there in the home root. I ssh into one of my cheap vps and I'm an `ls` away from remembering how to configure it.

Meanwhile, every time I use Nginx I have to remember where the different folders are that it uses, where the configs are, and how to even start/stop/reload it. I usually symlink its config to the home root and paste a few common commands into ~/README.md for future-me.

Obviously, at a larger scale where you're automating your machines, this doesn't really matter. But at any scale under that where you're sshing into different machines, it becomes a nice to have.

> There's a fairly simple explanation: in egalitarian societies femininity is socially acceptable even in "traditionally male" occupations. So women don't need to act "masculine" to make progress in those jobs. When it's socially acceptable for a CEO to be a mother and a woman, more women will feel comfortable pursuing a family in addition (rather than in exclusion) to a career.

I don't quite understand what you're saying here. The study doesn't seem to say anything about women "acting masculine" or "acting feminine". It's about gender disparity in careers, and how that disparity is larger in egalitarian soceties and smaller in less egalitarian societies.

> There's another fairly simple explanation: "equal opportunity" is not the same as "non-sexist". Without knowing how "gender-egalitarian"-ness is measured (it's suspicious that it uses the phrase "more developed") it's impossible to tell what the societal attitudes actually look like. But it's entirely possible that the countries with the most egalitarian laws still have strict gender roles that are socially reinforced.

Are you arguing that that North America, Western Europe, and Scandinivia may actually enforce stricter gender roles than Iraq, Iran, and Kazakhstan? That seems...unlikely.

Anyway, the abstract mentions a "Gender Equality Index" that's being discussed here. I imagine they go into more detail in the paper itself if you're curious.

> So either way the lesson isn't "feminism is wrong" or "equal opportunity is meaningless": either equal opportunity allows women to succeed without abandoning their gender role, or egalitarianism masks the harm of socially reinforced gender roles, or maybe even both.

Again, the abstract doesn't seem to be saying anything about gender roles -- it's purely about male and female representation in various careers.

Also, egalitarianism would have to do more than "mask the harm of socially reinforced gender roles," it would have to increase that harm, as less egalitarian countries have less gender disparity.
Some are saying this is no where near the amount of processing the human brain has. But, it doesn't seem we need that much of the brain. There are plenty of stories of highly functional and talented individuals with almost no brain, and this machine would probably be in their ballpark.
There's a small difference in this case -- I believe PCs with UEFI do have a certificate that allows some Linux distributions to boot.

I can't agree with much of anything in that video. The question is immediately reframed as a strawman ("childcare is not work"), but that's not at all what I'm saying.

My household absolutely derives value from my wife's labor. What is impacted here is earning potential; if my wife were to need to seek employment outside the home in order to earn income, her income would be substantially less than it would have been if she had been gaining relevant experience during this time in our lives.

Indeed. Actually the cosmology of Middle Earth (which is the first part of 'The Silmarillion' and barely mentioned in TLOTR) does require, to put it charitably, a certain suspension of disbelief. I'm paraphrasing somewhat... (spoilers)

The creator, Eru / Ilúvatar creates a great theme and the Ainur (spirits) are then invited to create a music from it. The evil Morgoth (Sauron's boss) sows discord by breaking Eru's harmony. Eru then stops the music and the various spirits manifest in the world (Arda) created from it. The world is initially illuminated by stars and then the light from two great trees. Which Morgoth destroys, although their light bearing fruit are used to create the Sun and the Moon. The Valar (the most powerful good Ainur) create the westerly island Valinor, which (after a lot of misery which forms the main subject of the Silmarillion) Ilúvatar eventually makes inaccessible by sending a great wave, changing the shape of all the lands of Middle-earth.

Hence my comment that plate tectonics (or whatever geological processes were understood in the early 20th C) wasn't an overarching concern for Tolkien. But once he'd made this world, he made sure that the LOTR characters would see the same phase of the moon at their respective parts of the story.

I'd really like to discuss % of female founders looking for VC funds. Also, let's break it down between Angel & VC.

For example, if I have 100 startups founded by men and 100 startups founded by women, what percent of the male-founded startups are raising money versus the percent of female-founded startups (within that 100) are raising money?

Also, if we have 500 startups raising money, how many of those are female founded? That makes a difference in the power of "just 2.2%."

Finally, I hate that this number gets tossed around, conflating the difference between angel/private investor money versus VC/institutional investor money.

How many women successfully raise an angel round but never go on to look for institutional financing?

There's got to be some behavioral research that explains this beyond "investors are misogynistic" which is how these stats get interpreted every time.
We'll just have to agree to disagree about that. It's pretty clear to me that "egocentric jerk" was intended to impugn Popper's credibility and not just a random insult.

But if it wasn't an ad hominem, then it was a non-sequitur. Either way, it's not the most effective way to support the position the philosophy has made progress IMHO. Hence: irony.
Shot in the dark here, but I vaguely remember a blog post that used birds in an explanation for monads and I can't seem to find it again. It had hand-drawn birds, and I think it started out with the identity monad, with the bird representing it only able to speak their own name.

Does anyone remember that post? I'd love to find it again, I got really excited when I saw the title, thinking that it had finally come around again.
This is especially important when we're talking about something as difficult to observe, measure, and test as astronomical phenomena. Staring at

F = G * m_1 * m_2 / r^2

may not provide an intuitive sense of what's happening for many students.

Many equations in physics are just not that complicated. A few constants, a multiplication here, a division there, and a square or square root operation describe most of the mathematics. If you can come up with a physical analogy that operates on the same mathematics (like using electric charges and Coulomb's Law - which matches the above equation - to simulate gravity), you can do interesting tests on a workbench with some wires and charged spheres where real world tests would be impractical. This is really cool and useful!

However, conveying understanding of an existing law that we already know isn't the same as revealing new physics. Coulomb's law and Newton's law of universal gravitation are the same; that's not to say you can hook up the electrical charges in a Coulomb's Law demonstrator to an electric circuit and reveal something that could be done with gravity.
companies do not care about the quality of their hiring process. which is sad because they do care about the quality of their employees.

they say they care, but it’s lip service. if companies cared, they would put in place a candidate feedback mechanism, ie post-interview quality survey. you could start with only surveying those you extend an offer to.

CTM has a wonderful premise; and unlike SICP, it does not aim to be freshman text book, and hence can jump headlong into the depth of the matter.

This article/blog entry says really nothing for the most part. I know two people personally who interviewed for Google. Neither hired, one got to a sixth interview, the other only fourth. Both told me two exact things:

How do you solve a problem?
How do you solve someone else's problem?

I counter with "who cares?". CAN YOU SOLVE the problem is the winning answer. I think Google is really guilty of wasting their time and the time of the candidates with that many number of interviews without any payoff. I know within 15 minutes if a person is going to a) fit in the culture and b) able do the job. If Google needs more than one interview to figure that out, then they are doing it wrong.

What Google is really doing is providing someone with the privilege of having google on their resume. I doubt it's worth all that.

Tempo Automation | Full-Stack Software Engineer | SF | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://www.tempoautomation.com

Tempo operates a factory in SF to produce printed circuit boards extremely quickly - in doing so, we give our customers the physical equivalent of a fast compiler, enabling them to turn their designs into real products significantly faster than they could before. Our customers build rockets, drones, medical devices, and much more - working at Tempo means you can accelerate all of these industries at once. Providing a system to produce circuit boards quickly and correctly means we're both a software shop and an advanced manufacturer. Our software team is still pretty small (9 engineers) which means any new hires will still have an outsize impact on the direction of our technology, and on the company as a whole. We love hiring strong generalists [python experience highly preferred] who take initiative and act as part-time PMs when they're working on projects. Some projects you might work on:

- Offering real-time, automated manufacturing feedback based on certain parameters of our customers' designs. Think linting for hardware.

- Optimizing our factory processes with machine learning and scheduling algorithms.

- Encoding the three-dimensional structure of each order's components (e.g. resistors, capacitors) for our assembly robots, in order to speed up assembly and ensure minimal manufacturing defects.

- Optimizing our automated optical inspection machine to make it faster than any in the industry.

I think the single biggest thing they could do to get to $2T is build their own search engine, and ditch google completely. I think it's funny how some people (and Apple themselves) always say how Apple is so privacy conscious, while at the same time they made 9 Billion Dollars from Google by using Google as the default search engine in Safari (which most people don't change). So it seems they're willing to sell some of their users privacy for profit, and a very nice one at that.

If they just built their own search engine and used it as default, and it provided high quality un-manipulated results, I think even more would flock to Apple. Yes they'd take a (big) hit up front by losing out on all of that free Google money (estimated to be ~$12B in 2019), but then they could actually say with a straight face they were truly privacy advocates and won't sell their users data to Google via the Google Search Engine.

Saying how privacy conscious a company is, while literally making billions of dollars by indirectly selling a lot of their customers data, really rings hollow with me. Build a search engine. It's not as hard as building Apple Maps, and will do more good in many ways. Hell, even non-Apple people might use Apple search and fall in love with the results, bringing them into the Apple fold.

JavaScript, in My Opinion
Free speech absolutism misses the forest for the trees. Free speech isn't the Ur-state of a just society, it's a means to an end, and the end is the reduction of suffering.

When free speech reduces suffering, it's a good tool and should be applied. When free speech increases suffering -- and there can be no doubt that G*b increases suffering -- then it's inappropriate. Consequently, this is a Bad Post, and a really Bad Look, from Epik.

Ugh, as a woman at a lot of these events I’ve experienced many of these socially awkward man children. A perfect example was some white guy following my coworker around an event trying to hit on her in Chinese. When she explained that she’s Korean he STILL tried speaking to her in Chinese until she went off on him in German (since he couldn’t get the hint when she was speaking English and to illustrate how obnoxious it is to try to speak to somebody in a language you know they don’t speak). We quickly left the event since the guy STILL wouldn’t leave her alone.

As far as I know it doesn't actually say that. The comparison is between countries, not before and after reforms. The paradox is supposedly that countries with higher equality have higher gender differences. But it isn't really a paradox since correlation isn't causation.
> Gender aside, this is still discrimination based on a persons “experience”, as you call it, or very simply: their employment status. This is against the law. Plain and simple.

I'm not a lawyer, but that doesn't sound right to me.

Consider four people who graduated at the same age, then took different paths:

* Experienced Eric worked for the same company for 11 years, is still there, and is considering a new job.

* Younger Yenina worked for the same company for 10 years, is still there, and is considering a new job.

* Late Larry searched for a job for 1 year, worked for the same company for 10 years, is still there, and is considering a new job.

* Unemployed Ursula worked for the same company for 10 years, got laid off, and has been looking for 1 year.

The law you quoted appears to say it's illegal to discriminate against Unemployed Ursula for being currently unemployed, so she should have the same shot as Younger Yenina and Late Larry. It doesn't say her year of unemployment must be considered equal to Experience Eric's extra year of work.

(There are also age discrimination laws that say you can't prefer Younger Yenina simply for being younger, gender discrimination laws that say you can't prefer Late Larry simply for being male, etc.)
The problem are the double negative questions. They should be reworded into positives to remove ambiguity.
Apart from warranty issues, yeah, they really don't care.

Interesting. 51% of 51% would allow you to control a company where another party holds 49%, even if you invested much less.
That you hold a certain value is logically true as long as you actually hold that value. There is no belief necessary in that case. _Why_ you believe it, i.e. the justification for that belief would need to be empirically grounded if I understand the article correctly. That seems a tall order.

Further, isn't even the scientific method at its core also based on certain beliefs about the world for which there is no empirical basis? Not that that would make it any less valuable as a tool for understanding the world.

Is this true at Google? I've never heard of a company where interviewing was voluntary, it's always been part of the normal job responsibilities.
it's not just unfair to the business though. if i have five years experience as a c++ dev and you have four years plus one year as a stay at home parent, it is unfair to me if the hiring process treats us both as if we have equal amounts of experience.
> Who is supposed to issue this apology?

Who was involved in the decision to fund SCO in their lawsuit against IBM over copyrights in Linux? I could stand to start with those people.

Next, round up all the people who paid for (and probably ghost-wrote) articles, in all the trade press, to persuade corporate America that Linux was a copyright-absorbing cancer?

I'll believe Microsoft "LOVES LINUX" when they announce Office365 for Ubuntu, and not a day before.

Yes, I'm bitter. I was very active in trying to get Linux more-widely accepted at my Fortune 250 in the 90's, and a bad-faith manager used the lawsuit, and the coverage of it, to stifle my efforts.
