That author is entitled to his perception of women in the valley and being sexually attracted to women. If you don't like him, simply avoid hanging out with him. It seems a lot of men don't like him, either. Presumably they simply avoid him.

If men being attracted to them is a reason for women to avoid tech, I wonder what realistic job openings are left for them. They'd better choose an all-female occupation.

I'm not a writer, but I don't get why first-time writers - as in, first time they're trying to get their works published, not that they've only now tried to write a book - try to do too much as their first project.

I think they should really force themselves to start with short stories first; focus on finishing a story. That avoids a sunk cost, avoids people beating themselves up for what they believe is their life's work getting rejected by publishers (for e.g. being too long), etc.

Same with software development; it's easy to write big chunks of code, it's hard to get that to production.
I agree the pragmatic thing to do is just to change it, but how much work the fix requires is not really the point here. We're talking about something more than what is simply the optimal business decision. I think it's wrong to indulge people's prejudices.
Airspeed and angle-of-attack are different measurements, whether the AoA is borked or not would make no difference to airspeed measurements, and vice versa.

Without AoA though, airspeed alone is not enough to determine a stall. If one or both sets of probes are incorrect or inoperable, detection of stall conditions would be unreliable at best, either reporting a stall when there isn't one, or failing to report one that is valid.

As for MCAS, it would likely be able to see that two AoA probes disagree, but would be unable to choose the "correct" probe. A third AoA probe _might_ address that, but I never saw that kind of configuration on aircraft I worked on, and it isn't on the MAX. Regardless though, from what I've read, MCAS only applies gradual nose down trim, so ignoring whether or not MCAS even knows enough to disable itself in abnormal conditions, the pilot/first officer should have more plenty of time to react to it (I believe it was something like 2.5deg of trim every 10s). Either the pilots in these situations are not aware that it is a trim issue, which seems very unlikely, or they are overloaded and don't remember in time to set the stab trim to cutoff which would disable those inputs. Very much still on Boeing in my opinion, but it isn't like the aircraft is just diving into the ground the second MCAS starts nosing down.
You still need certificates from Apple in order to do so. So your ability to sideload requires a $99 subscription to the iOS development program and the continued support of Apple.
Right... From the stats from Yale linked above, the median net cost after financial aid is $12.5k. That's a lot less than I paid to go to a public university.

As for a "license to do anything", it's not clear what exactly you're complaining about here? They get some money through non-merit based admissions, sure, and then use the money to build nice things for students, and to help cover most students' tuitions. The point of this thread is that there's a difference between private schools accepting donations for this purpose, vs. corrupt individuals accepting bribes. The latter case benefits only the unmeritious student and the corrupt individual, and not the university has a whole.

Spotify is platform neutral. All things being equal, that's enough to use them vs. Apple/Google/Amazon anything.

Those three serving up things like music or movies are ancillary to their main product. Spotify has a vested interest in being the best music platform. Apple as an interest in selling more phones and computers, which may be benefited by a good in-house music app.

Mock doesn't have COW (copy on write), cowbuilder by contrast creates a base chroot, then use copy on write to enrich it per build. This speeds-up things considerably.

Also, cowbuilder runs fine with several instance running at the same time, mock is a bit more sketchy in that regard. Basically, you can only build one package at a time. Typically, it's a bit of an issue for my personal scripts: https://github.com/kakwa/amkecpak, in them I can basically do make rpm -j 42 to build 42 packages at the same time, but with mock/mockchain, the chroot creation has some concurrency issues.

In fairness, I used the rather old mock version packaged by Debian, I've not looked at 1.4, it seems that some of these issues are addressed now.

As I get older in this industry performance obsession has gone from making me sad (how can I possibly compete) to making me laugh.

We work in a field where it is our literal chosen profession to leverage the most powerful machines human beings have ever invented into business logic.

Any attempt to push on the lever harder is just a waste of time. I’m actually trying to learn how to work less right now. I suggest everyone else do the same.

You know what can make you a valuable high performer though? Choosing the right levers to push. Become more tactical and strategic in your work, that’s how you start to shine.

Okay so how do you do that? There are lots of ways to do it, but perhaps the most obvious way is to work on things that will make your team more productive.
Sadly, due to the propaganda and intentional misreporting of facts, we don't know if the Russians did it or if that is just US intel operations placing blame there for political reasons. The whole Ukraine civil war thing was drummed up by Western intelligence agencies. The epicenter of the whole thing was H. Clinton's State Dept. the same assholes who kicked over Libya so they could run guns to ISIS. The US is bullshit, man. Some high-level people need to go to jail.

And now even our FAA is playing politics...

All I can say is "don't fly over war zones." Tragic.
In my experience, sane people volunteer for a cause they believe in. "Activists" grab a megaphone and disrupt any gathering of people who disagree with them on said cause, because they've convinced themselves that they are morally superior for their beliefs.

I have tried to make the jump from Emacs to Sublime a couple of times, and more recently Emacs to VScode, but I always end up going back to Emacs.

Reading the recent discussions about the need to create commercial entities around open source projects, it occurred to me that Emacs has maybe suffered from not ever being commercialised. It is clearly the best code editor (very few people who master it ever leave it), but its steep learning curve and unreconstructed GUI mean that it remains inaccessible to too many developers. Maybe if a company was created around the product its sales, marketing and documentation would improve, and more people would use it.

On my opinion there is no comparison with the dominance MS in the OS market and Apple, I think Apple’ market share is very far from the 90+% windows enjoyed
What I've heard (i.e. this may just be hearsay) was that for much of its history Saturn used engines that had bores with a fairly rough surface finish which resulted in them holding more oil and reducing wear on the bores and rings but at the cost of burning more oil. Sometimes they burned quite a lot of oil as they got old.

GM treated Saturn like a throwaway brand so they used them for a lot of R&D they didn't want to risk "important brands" over and consequently there's a bunch of random Saturn cars that have features that even some new cars don't have. My friend had one from the early 2000s that would vary radio volume with speed and window position.
> If Spotify wants to play fair, they need to pay artists more for streams.

How? 90% of their catalog is owned by big labels. They cannot sign up artists directly because it will put them directly into competition with the labels.

They are trying to move towards paying artists directly [1], but you have to be eligible (most likely read: not signed up for a label already).

This is a legal and financial nitghmare.

Sublime is my second most favorite TextEditor after VIM.
However, I have to admit when it comes to plugins and community, Sublime is way behind VSCode.
But if you compare anything else (ex. Performance), Sublime is definitely way better.
Unfortunately we have some people who put their beliefs and politics above science and will actively act against investigation only because a line of inquiry could result in evidence against their view.

You say that's people putting beliefs and politics above science, but while that's a rational thing to suggest there are two problems with it.

Firstly, a lot of issues don't and can't have any scientific rationale behind them. They're moral judgements. For example, if you want to go looking for scientific evidence for why the death penalty is a terrible idea you won't find any. You'll only find ethical and moral rhetoric about why killing innocent people by mistake is bad, or why the economics of keeping people in prison for decades when you could just kill them is irrational. Science has nothing to say. Science doesn't judge.

Secondly, people don't always believe evidence even if it's there. For example, if you take a random sample of teams and find the ones that make the best decisions are more diverse[1], some people will demand "positive discrimination" is a terrible idea and a meritocratic system must be better even in the face of the evidence or they'll just argue that the evidence is plain wrong. How do you persuade those people to change their minds?

"I don't find this particular statement very revolutionary."

It depends on how you read it, since the short 12-word summary could be read dozens of different ways. There's ways in which trivially, of course, duh, pain is in the brain, where else would it be? But there's also ways in which it stands in stark contrast to what most people implicitly believe.

Take your (you, the reader, not kimmy1 specifically) beliefs about the nature of pain, and explicitly hold it up to the concept of phantom limb syndrome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_limb And make extra sure to read the section about mirror box treatment. (That it works at all, for anyone, is the important point, not whether it's a miracle cure for all sufferers.)

You may already have heard about these things, but have you explicitly examined your beliefs about pain to ensure they incorporpate these ideas?

I don't know about fibromyalgia, but it wouldn't shock me that much if there is something a lot like phantom limb syndrome out there that confuses us by causing phantom pain in body parts that exist. For eminently rational reasons it would be a long time before we worked out way down to that hypothesis.
> That should be covered by the one time fee that developers pay to Apple in order to publish apps into the App Store. I am not sure if a simple binary needs a 30% cut of the entire Spotify profit to keep up with the costs of hosting an app there.

We're now into the murky world of trying to tell other people what their cost base or margins should be.

> Because Apple is using a completely different market, which they have a strong presence on, to increase the value of Apple Music and consequently devaluing any other competing music streaming services.

Another view is that Apple fairly charges a consistent 30% to all customers in the app store. In the same way as Amazon doesn't pay to list its own products on Amazon, and Google doesn't pay to advertise Chrome on google.com, Apple should not have to pay to market its own services on its own marketplace.
Not saying it isn't a problem but those better off have the resources to be educated better before in addition to factors like nutrition. Essentially the advantages aren't bias but a byproduct. The way to fix it of course is to raise the floor.
The general sentiment seems to be that Kubernetes is better than Borg in almost all ways.

Can't say I'm 100% on Spotify's side, but to me it doesn't seem like Apple has anything stand on here, ethics-wise. Microsoft and the IE case comes to mind.

I agree, but that's enough. In any one area, scientific fact will run into serious opposition. In a different area, the opposition may come from other people, but be just as strong.

If anything, this will make it harder to defeat, than it would be if "partisans of the tabula rasa" were a neatly circumscribed group.
> Because Apple is using a completely different market, which they have a strong presence on, to increase the value of Apple Music and consequently devaluing any other competing music streaming services.

This is the core issue. Apple using their dominant market position in the hardware/operating system markets to push anticompetitive practices for their product in a different market (Apple Music).

I don't see how this is much different than IE. Maybe even worse in some ways. But regardless, it is very clearly manipulating the market artificially in Apple's favor.
Sounds like some local cops overstepped their bounds and probably messed up some kind of operation.

VMs, remote IDEs, or FAAS are ways to develop on a server-like environment, but they all come with their own overheads; IME none has as good a debugging experience as being able to run the thing directly on your normal dev machine. (even for sysadminly scripting tasks, working via a putty window carries overhead and there are times when you'd rather be on the machine itself, though I'd agree that it's less common for it to be an issue there than for development work).

You're right that the issue is consistency rather than the particular OS. But there is a real point here that Ubuntu in particular is functional as a first-class OS both on developer laptops and on production servers, in a way that none of the other options can quite match. (Windows' administration support/automation is lacking on the server, OSX servers barely exist, CentOS is outdated on the laptop, Debian is too principled to support laptop hardware, Fedora is undersupported on the server...). So it does make for a unique selling point for Ubuntu in practice.
At least in Brazil, it's not considered truly the Amazon until the Rio Solimões and Rio Negro combine, which makes sense, as they are the two enormous tributaries that combine to form the mega-river. You're splitting hairs here, of course the tributaries have bridges across them.

That said I do agree that the whole premise of the article is pretty dumb, considering the Brazilians fairly easily (minus graft) built a bridge across the Rio Negro right before it becomes the Amazon. If they wanted to, they could do it after as well.

The problem is how do they break apart what to pay people. If they pay your record company a dollar every time a artist of yours is played and life time they get played say 100,000 times sure thats great for you. But are they going to make 100,000 off you? Sure they can make you a loss leader and parrot that they are a platform for the little dude.

But what happens when a major label demands that they also get a dollar every time a song is played. The next time Taylor Swift releases a new album the entire country of Sweden would be owed in Royalties.

Yea digital streaming doesnt pay jack. Even the best paying streaming services only pays .0064 cents per stream. Of course that doesnt add up to much considering they only have .65% of the market.

At the end of the day duder it sucks that you dont make shit from streaming services. It really does. But with how the entire streaming payout model works it just is NEVER going to be profitable for smaller artists. It 100% caters to artists that will pull in 100 million streams in a month. But how much does platforms like Spotify help artists on your label get noticed? I constantly try to find new artists that have under 100,000 listens on their top song to see if its some hidden gem or the next big thing.

Well a lot of our policies are based on the tabula rasa theory. Gender or racial imbalances between professions for instance are attributed to cultural bias and discrimination. It may be the case, I think only science will provide a definitive answer. And you are right, far right activists do assume full genetic determinism and they may also be proven wrong by advances in genetics. But they are kind of a smaller marginal group, whereas partisans of the tabula rasa are pretty powerful, particularly in academics.
