Deeply-engrained cultural/societal biases that women can do no harm. You can see it in the trickle of sexual assault cases involving a woman teacher/underage male student; the women often get a relative wrist-slap of days in prison, if that. And let's not even get started on how routinely and holistically fucked men get in family/divorce courts.

You don't hear about these problems talked about though, simply because men are the affected parties.
I was on call 10 years for lottery systems and usally got a call a week sometime during the nite that involved doing a c hotfix or restore some state and rerun a process as systems had to be ready next morning. We got 20% of salary after working hours and 30% weekends and vacation. The last few years I was alone 24/7/365 as people left with stress and as it took 3-5 years to be trusted with this and we hadent prepared anyone. and in the end my new boss told me he wasent paid to being escalated to and after I raised the issue for 3 months I had enough and quit.

I would consider machine learning to be an application of statistics, in much the same way that mechanical engineering is an application of physics. The foundations of mechanical engineering are rooted in physical concepts, but mechanical engineers have formulas for all sorts of things, like calculating the fatigue life of gears, that you can't get from pure physics because they are empirically derived curve fits, rather than natural laws. The science is more pure, but the application of it is what's powerful in the real world.

So in a sense I agree that "machine learning is not statistics," but I strongly disagree with the tone of the article, which is "we're better than statistics." Don't shit on the shoulders you're standing on.
Comparing newcomers today to newcomers 20 years ago, and seniors today to seniors 20 years ago makes more sense to me.

I don't agree and didn't downvoted. But it's simply not a good argument though.

Eg. Who downvoted me? Let's check out there previous post and downvote all of the comments. Put a HN alert on it, so I can make his life hell...

The mods do a good work though, eg. I would like to talk politics, but there is a reason that it's ignored ( correctly so, for quality of the comments)

And please, don't let anyone discuss 10 threads why he's downvoted to go off-topic. I would appreciate better replies if it happens, but that's hard to crack.

Just some feedback for the company and people applying.
I interviewed here earlier this year and this was by far the worst interview process I have seen (was also told to expect start up like hours).

A Skype that was irrelevant to my resume which left me depressed by the end, somehow passed that. Then, I got a ~50 page manual on the take home task which took 3-4ish hours of a Saturday and after weeks of silence I got a no as it didn't pass some cases.

Quite a big waste of time personally.
Why Clojure? I’ll tell you why…

An employer does not need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you missed your target, mouthed off to your boss, or any number of firing offenses. Association is voluntary, on both sides. Unions sometimes win a quasi-judicial system for firing, which this forum usually bemoans as making it too hard to eliminate low performers. With a judicial procedure only for sexual harassment, companies could always fire you “for” something else.

> Still, we end up with cases like Brock Turner where he does get convicted not with the victim's testimony but a mountain of corroborating evidence and national media scrutiny.

How can we know what specific pieces of evidence led to his conviction? I would assume the jury took into account the victim's testimony and the testimony of the onlookers who stopped him. What makes you say he was "convicted not with the victim's testimony but a mountain of corroborating evidence and national media scrutiny"?
This was utterly, utterly predictable, and I'm sure the same dynamic is playing out in milder, more insidious forms in industries that are less openly regressive than Wall Street. I said as much to many of my friends during the nascency of the movement, and was baffled at how novel a concept it seemed to all of them.

This isn't fair to women, of course. But Water flows downhill, and people follow incentives. If you create a no-due-process superweapon that a class of people can point at another class, expect the latter to avoid situations where the former can use it. Duh. (In theory, women wouldn't be considered potential false accusers any more than men would, but the fact that the breakdown of gender roles has been intentionally lopsided means that a female accuser is both more likely and more likely to be taken seriously).

As die-hard a liberal as I am, I'm still sympathetic to the idea of examining whether we should shift the burden of proof for cases with characteristics that are systematically difficult to prove (not in the criminal justice system, of course; I think society-sanctioned state violence does and should have a much, much higher bar for protecting the innocent). But as a left-liberal, one of my primary points of departure with the contemporary left is that it seems to believe to its core that wishing on a star is all it takes for a policy to be effective, with no attention paid to the _actual_ way that a policy is expected to play out in the real world[1].

[1] I don't mean to suggest that the left uniquely has this problem, but I've got less exposure to the man-on-the-street version of the right, since I live in a deep Blue bubble and most of my friends form their beliefs based on whatever the Atlantic et al have on their front page.

> accused of physically touching a clothed area of the woman's arm without being granted consent

Is this really an offense worth ending someone's career over?

(And is it any surprise that we might all deduce the lesson if it is?)
A union is a mechanism by which a class of people with less power (typically workers) pool together to enforce rules on people with more power (typically employers).

Right now, software developers have LOTS OF POWER. Companies are constantly courting devs, offering very high salaries, and including incredible perks that simply aren't available in most other industries. Yes, some engineers are exploited, but on average the power lies with the employees.

When you think of all the "union overhead": voting on contracts, complying to work rules, occasionally going on strike, there just isn't enough pain to make that worth it. Yes, I might work too much overtime and go on call at bad hours, but I can also leave and get a new job relatively quickly, and get paid a lot to work in a climate-controlled environment with free drinks and food.

A real software union will arise if and only if it becomes necessary. If somehow everyone is automated out of a job and the few engineers left feel that their very existence is at risk, and the few employers remaining ruthlessly exploit those engineers for minimal pay and benefits, THEN people will fight back (and a union is one possible strategy for this fight). Until then it's a waste of effort.
"...would always lose"

Really? I think the reasons for the requirements of evidence are justified in civil matters just as they are in criminal.

We cannot have a situation where men always have no defence because of a lack of requirement of evidence.
That would be nice, except most are simply incapable. They forward the requests to the dev team, causing interruptions, distractions, and aggravating engineers.
This is essentially an opinionated take on how to deploy JAMStack style applications. TLDR is to use index.html as deployment config / manifest ONLY, and load all other assets from static unchanging resources. This kind of discipline is a little like what you might use for an optimal IPFS (content-addressed) deployment, so it's cool to see best practices converge.

I clicked through and read the article because I though it would be about Clojure-style immutable data structures, like ImmutableJS uses. Or maybe how to use databases like Datomic or patterns like CQRS and event sourcing.
> The Chinese are doing the same thing the Brits did to them: getting an entire country addicted to opiates.

No, that's not actually happening at all in fact, either in the US or Canada. Most of what you're seeing re China is fentanyl - because it's extraordinarily potent - killing a lot of people that would otherwise not be overdosing from heroin at anywhere near the same rate. Their culpability in the spread of opioid use and addiction is minimal, it's primarily the increase in overdose deaths that China's fentanyl is contributing to. US doctors and some specific pharma companies have the vast majority of responsibility when it comes to the opioid addiction and abuse increases we've seen in the US over the last decade.
