Fine. I agree. Less is better.
Now, I don't want to have a c vs rust like discussion, I think we will agree in fact mostly.

But, all I was saying in the beginning (and I later digressed) is that just blaming 'C memory model' is not fair.

(Dramatization) "Hey, boss, yes... an RCE, what a pitty. Yeah, missing check. But don't blame me. Is C it is at fault". That is just not realistic/ridiculous. Is like saying is the parents of Denis Ritchie that are at fault here.
Most decent computer languages are heavily inspired by theoretical linguistics. So education tends towards that. Perl is inspired by practical linguistics. It's a total mess like English and amazingly expressive like English. This doesn't fit well with standard computing paradigms, but it does make perl a decent language for people from non-standard backgrounds.
It's a lot faster and more scalable to not automate a full web browser. Bot developers would rather not do it, they only do because they're forced to. Forced to ... by requiring Javascript, like this.

In other words, the bot developers are still getting through, and meanwhile it's the actual humans who don't want JS which get screwed. Reminds me of DRM... honest customers are the most inconvenienced, while crackers still break it.
Because there's no political will and nobody cares.

> Vegetarianism breaks that cycle and leads to use of chemicals for growing edible plants.

What? It is pretty clear cut that humans eating plants directly requires growing a lot less plants than humans eating meat, which ate those plants. Animals don't grow on sunlight, so they are basically a reactor for turning plants from one type of food into another. And the laws of thermodynamics tell us they aren't 100% efficient, so... eating meat requires more plants to be grown than eating plants themselves...
Of course! Have you never met a programmer who had ~20 years of experience but actually was extremely weak at programming? Even the most basic of interviews would disqualify them from the job, but an ML algorithm can give them huge points on the "experience" alone.
They can be, but again you just need to find the right places - yes you'll be lucky to pay less than £2.50 a can.

The point is to first validate your idea by asking people if they're actually willing to pay for your service, hypothetically. I don't think the author means actually setting up a contract where the potential interested parties actually pay you upfront for a service that doesn't exist.

Cool, I'll have to look at the new data clearly, a priori it contradicts my analysis - I only recalled one situation previously where discrimination appears to give higher wages to women (over 30, working full-time), 15% is quite the gap did it make headlines?

Note they don't compare like roles here, just same industry sector IIRC.

The largest gap is 95% in favour of female archivists; that must be anomalous.
As someone who has a fairly large codebase that's been largely untouched for 3-4 years, I'd disagree. Nothing has stopped me from updating some ancient dependencies. Perhaps we should make a difference between Node and semver-major library changes
There's a lot of comments making arguments that were basically discredited decades ago, and people have got tired of having to rebut them every single time and gone straight to the downvoting.

Hacker news voters seem to have got a lot less tolerant of this kind of tired regressive culture war stuff lately. But this article is still on the way to being flagged off the front page. There are certain subjects this site is just not capable of having a mature, informed discussion of.
yeah, my experience was the same. It's a really nice database to play with or for a small project but if you need a multi-node HA cluster, the price quickly becomes prohibitive.

I guess if I ever need a graph database again I will probably go for dgraph (although I haven't used it in any production environment) - https://dgraph.io or any other graph database that at least has HA setup without 100k/year bill :)

You've only been treated fairly because of the substantial gains that unions have won for you in the past. You don't even realize how much worse it could be. Enjoying that 5-day 40-hour workweek? Without unions, it'd be a lot worse.
Yes I've seen it used in many situations where any other non-graph database would struggle. If you're doing security or fraud detection, geospatial analytics, data lineage, anything social, dynamic relationship modelling etc. then graph works well.

RDBMS has its strengths but it isn't suitable for every use case.
No. A directory gives you a list of pointers to data and files. A folder contains that data and files (though directories can conveniently contain them, too). On the web, any URI that ends with a "/" is specified to look first for an index file--such as index.html--which should contain a listing of links to files and other directories.

Which would be fine if they provided some straight forward way to replicate that (like a container). It really seems like open source doesn't have that high of a standing at Google (anymore?). I guess limiting hardware manufacturers use of open source, not spending time making sure other people can build open source code, is what gives you the promotion these days

We just did our annual conference GraphConnect in NYC last month. There's a BUNCH of talks online of people who are very successfully and very happily using it in production deployments. Check it out here: https://neo4j.com/graphconnect-2018

Btw, if you've ever stayed at a Marriott (or anyone they now own: Starwood, Hilton, Ritz Carlton) then you've used Neo4j in production (to book that room). If you've ever purchased a flight ticket, then you've used Neo4j in production (over 99% of all fare calculations are done with Neo4j). Etc.
I've run into projects run like this, but I would love to get some driveby pull requests. Sadly the segment I work in has very few software developers, but lots of people who are (needlessly) scared of the licensing bogeyman.

As you can see, the divide is becoming greater between ones who “believe” and ones who “don’t”, and the audience is massively imposing a bias here in this thread. We’ve lost our ability to listen to each other, and it’s sad that it happened on a topic which is still very easy to judge using science.

Statistically if you can get into a tier 1 company you’ll be better off. You get 10-20 years at $200-$400k by default, so $2-8 million. You have to weigh that against the exit success chance and size of a 5-10 year (as typical) startup run to an exit.

It’s not all about money of course, and if you can run your own place you can probably get into into a tier 1 tech company.
I too have encountered developers with many years of experience and little programming skill. But in those cases I'd not hire them; or if they made it through the net I'd put them on a performance improvement plan and begin the process of firing them.
Is there any research on how doggies do on vegan or reduced-meat diets? I wonder they'd have any long term health benefits from a well-planned, balanced vegan diet?
No, people making personal efforts like that has the opposite effect. It makes them think they are doing something that matters so they don't put any effort into pushing for the drastic changes required to fix the problem.

People making individual efforts like that is about as useful as praying when it comes to preventing tragedy of the commons scenarios.

>(1) There is simply no agreement currently on what counts as harassment.

This is an absolutely fair observation.

>The situation has gotten so out of hand, that recording all employee interaction might indeed be the only way forward.

Yeah, I think something like bodycams is likely the most effective solution to the issue but then things get tricky for various industries, stuff like patient/client confidentiality laws, trade secrets, etc. Not to mention stuff like using the restroom, where sexual harassment could still take place.

Then audio-only wouldn't cover miming explicit actions.

It's certainly a problem with no easily actionable answer.

Are they capitalistic or economies though? Right wing systems that value privitization? Countries that are cutting emissions in extremely significant manners (relative to their countries, they can't control the world), and putting out well reachable net-zero emissions goals, are the furthest left wing countries in the world at the moment that have checks on Capitalism.

There is no such meat in the beef or chicken industry. There are sustainable methods to raise and provide enough meat for the demand and there are ethical methods (e.g. cage free, free range) that are absolutely not sustainable given the demand for meat. There is no overlap.
The worst part, is that you just known some sysadmins are going to use this as an excuse to block all ICMP, worsening the PMTU blackhole problem; and the "these ICMP bugs were all from the 90s" argument won't work anymore.
Sites like this are recruiter-bait. (Notice that Triplebyte is a recruiter). They purport to have real salary info from the richest companies in the world to unsettle employees. (With no claim to even be telling the truth). This inspires people to be job flippers when they are closer to the average salaries that pay well but don’t compete at the high end.

Changing jobs every year might get you quick raises early but actually achieving meaningful results takes time and gets you bigger raises/satisfaction in the long run. Don’t let recruiter-bait push you into someone who hops around out of envy and never really commits to anything.

I think a similar issue is rushing to fix something in an industry you have no experience of. You might not think you need to know about property before you start an AirBnB but actually they had to learn from mistakes and wrong assumptions, fortunately they were agile enough to pivot.

Engineers often assume that everything is as simple as "my product can do that, please pay me money" when there are a raft of other blockers in certain industries, some already mentioned above. The more you understand these before you start, the less time you spend trying to understand e.g. why a hospital won't just buy some random new product even though it promises to fix a big problem.

Those who want to go to the city only because they have to work fall under the "want access to labor markets" part of my statement. "Everyone" is an exaggeration of course on my part, but it still seems like a significant portion of the population, especially high earners, want incompatible parts of urban and suburban life.

I was commenting on the claim that "few want to retire in the city", which I agree with, but in old age you need access to medical professionals and other facilities that aren't economically feasible in rural populations, so even though people want the rural life, they don't want or can't afford to give up those other conveniences of more urban areas.
So I'm wondering, all these automated detections and CAPTCHAs... how does that tie in with automated decisions being made about you under GDPR? They're trying to protect us from bots, but those decisions are also made by bots. What if their bot makes a mistake? Does that count as an automated decision under GDPR, for which I should be able to ask a human for a second opinion?
>There has never been a lack of outrage about the US involvement in those countries.

We should address our own atrocities if we want to shame the Chinese for theirs.
I don't know where you live, but at least in EU the cost of hiring the wrong person is monstrous. Unless they were literally caught stealing and you can fire them for gross negligance, you are looking at months of "performance improvement plans", when both of you know that it won't actually improve anything. All while you are paying them full salary, national insurance, tax etc, and also sinking in the time of another employee who now has to deal with the situation. It's extremely critical to not hire those people in the first place, and I would not trust an algorithm to do that.

I work in gammay-ray astronomy. We work closely together with LIGO, they alert us in case something interesting happens so we can observe the same position.

This is e.g. what happened with the Neutron star merger.

"I was referring to morals in context of the written universe, not in ours. JY characters regularly confront situations where they are forced to question their own personal code.

...
...
...

JY does not offer a moral lesson here, he simply explores characters in morally complex situations."

Tolkien doesn't do that at all: the depth of his characters is never expounded upon, their decisions and choices flow from their roles (for example Elrond as the healer, or Aragon as the king of men, or Gandalf with the mission to stop Sauron). His characters are aware of the consequences and the effect the Ring will have: not even for Boromir is that a dilemma. That's why my position is that the comparison doesn't even apply because Tolkien's characters don't undergo those dilemmas. For example, the biggest dilemma is Frodo's fear of whether and how he'll be able to complete his task, not whether he should complete it. That is light years removed from character complexity and moral choices. These two authors wrote about completely different things: there isn't any overlap to compare on.

As for the rudeness: if based on your comments I think that you should re-read the Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings much more critically because they reduce both works to satisfaction with the story and good being triumphant, and was subtly trying to suggest that, is that rude?

> By the middle of this century there will be two or three billion more people on Earth

..this is only inevitable if we choose to make it so. The laissez-faire approach to population growth prioritises sparing the feelings of current liberal observers over the happiness of the future inhabitants of earth and the quality of the environment. Whatever mitigation measures we take, a global population of 12 billion are inevitably going to have far nastier lives than 3 billion could.

Sorry I forgot the /s on the end of that.
Sigh.. I've seen this argument so many times I have to wonder if the people peddling it has ever sat on a hiring panel.

The decision to hire someone in a high-skilled job has extraordinarily little to do with their compensation and much more to do with their perceived value. Society has conditioned us to view a certain kind of masculinity as inherent value. Men are rewarded for their aggression and confidence, whereas women are criticized for ego and emotionality.

Perhaps this argument has credence in the low-skilled labor market, but it is not applicable to tech, where compensation packages are routinely so large and supported by large VC funds that those of us who do hire can see those salary differences as negligible. And, even if I were sensitive to those differences, I would not hesitate to pay 30-50k in order to get the right person for the role.

The question here is: are we doing a good job of finding the right person for the role? That is why the Google women are demanding "opportunity equity." Because the system I just described above is prone to failure thanks to unconscious bias.
I get this on my own computer that I've been using for 6 years on a static IP. It happens at least once a month, sometimes several times. Each time they ask for a phone number confirmation when no phone number is linked to the account (and never will be).

My card is now a full UK bank account and you can set up standing orders to pay into it in the normal manner. Unusually the account is multi currency and you can have linked accounts in like 23 currencies - I now have an Australian account number and sort code so aussies can make normal domestic transfers or standing orders to that in AUD. I'm not sure of any other banks that do that. Certainly not the regular banks, and my Interactive Brokers account is multi currency but AUD would go to the IB account for further credit to me rather than me having my own regular Australian account.

In fact if you want say a US bank account and don't live there Transferwise may be the easiest way to have one.
