To be fair, I have the same problem with Windows 10 and the Surface Pro, MS's flagship product. The SP4 has a 13" screen and a 3200x1800 resolution, which is quite dense. Windows 10 helpfully suggests turning on the scaling to 200-300% when on the native screen to help things scale up a bit. Plug it into an external monitor, however, and that scaling is no longer tenable. I then have to adjust it back down to 100%. However, W10 then informs me that some of the applications won't re-scale themselves properly until I logout and log back in. So I'm more or less resigned to the fact that every time I disconnect my Surface from its dock, I'll have to restart the thing.

But there's some kind of inertia keeping those employees at FB for some reason. Why put in all the effort to leave for another company to get paid the same? Most people won't do that.

Engineers aren't going to start quitting en masse until their compensation is threatened (i.e. the stock irreversibly tanks). In order for that to happen, shareholders need to stage a massive sell-off, which won't likely happen soon due to FOMO.
Hey HN,

Enlyte is a social career platform that makes it easy for people to find the right career path, then connect them to communities, jobs, events, and products to help level up their skills.

How it works:
Career information has been collected into “Career Nodes”, then organized into a tree structure. You start at the top, as you traverse your way down the tree, career nodes become more specialized. (Ex. Computer Science > Web Development > Front-End Developer).

Every Career Node has it’s own dedicated reddit-style community, job board, events page, and products page. (Only community feature is available right now)

Feedback is extremely appreciated! I can answer any and all questions as well. Thanks HN!

They probably did not try to spin up an instance for the developer.

Or interview prep sites, like leetcode, hackerrank, etc.
Or competitive programming sites, like topcoder.

Is that basically the best we can do?

The problem with those is that a lot of HN commenters believe that practicing for competitive programming (or algorithmic interview problems) has little to no relationship with actual day-to-day programming.

Personally, I think there has to be some relationship... But the HN community strongly disagrees (see any of the interview question threads)...
The GNOME fractional scaling support is part of the 3.32 release so it should also have landed in Ubuntu 19.04. You can enable it in F29/Ubuntu 18.10 but the reason it's not enabled by default is that it doesn't quite work properly.

edit: I just installed Ubuntu 19.04 and it has GNOME 3.32 but there is no fractional scaling available in settings, in either Xorg or Wayland. The old experimental option can still be enabled but continues to make non-GTK3 apps blurry.

cartopy's website assumes that I know what I am doing.

There is no good entrypoint into the documentation, it just starts to tell me about projection details. The documentation outline is a list of the code functions with no clear point to start or indication which places might be good to start at.

I also can't find any examples for quick demonstration and trying. (edit: I found them after clicking all the links. Well... it's in the middle of a list of details I'm not interesting in and says 'Using cartopy with matplotlib'. Oh, at the bottom there is a link with more examples which I could find neither in the index nor in the outline... urgh.)

Python Helped Grab Image of a Black Hole
Please don’t downvote me into being the same color as the page background. I’m giving a serious answer to a question that was posed.

This has been asked before on HN. The genuine answer is some combination of:

* criticisms of FB are wildly exaggerated. This takes many forms, but in this particular case I think it’s the issue of attributing to malice what’s best explained by incompetence. Somebody probably just reused some old email importing code without understanding it thoroughly. If you know anything about how FB works, that’s infinitely more plausible than some shady conspiracy to unethically harvest the contacts of a small percentage of users for a slight improvement in ranking or targeting.

Facebook is not some well-oiled machine, it is a jumbled mess of thousands of junior engineers, perpetually barely avoiding collapsing under its own weight.

* People inside FB generally believe, whatever they think of Zuck, that he doesn’t just outright lie about verifiable facts. The entire code repository is completely open to all employees. If adding this feature really was malicious and FB’s response is an outright lie, somebody WILL find the commit and leak it.

* Even if FB is doing harm, on balance the good it’s doing is greater. It has made communication between humans easier and lower-friction which has many upsides.

Part of this is that all the upsides are concrete and obvious (people fall in love on Facebook/IG/MN/WA, they stay in touch with friends and family, they run a business, etc). Whereas the downsides are abstract and hypothetical (maybe someday someone will use Facebook’s collected data for some nefarious purpose).

* Even if all of the above is false and FB really is harmful to the world, the situation certainly won’t be improved by thinking people quitting, and leaving the company totally in the hands of yes-men who drink all the kool-aid.

> Feminism fights for women's rights, but not men's

I mean, that's the whole purpose. I don't have a crystallised opinion on 3rd wave feminism but the 1st and 2nd were clearly necessary.

It's like saying the black panthers were bad because they were not fighting for white people's rights.

Agree. And as a counterpoint to your other point, physical/material safety is a prerequisite to this. Nobody has time to vote, or agitate to get the vote, if they're starving and have no place to sleep. That's why the cheap goods and services are potentially important.
I'm talking about the current versions, not old stuff, i also had KDE 1 working on a 32MB machine.

I do not expect current versions to be easy to run even in 32MB (although i've heard - but didn't verify - that Xorg can be configured and built from source to use as little as 600KB) but i'm curious where those hundreds of MBs go even for something like Xorg + Window Maker.

I think this argument would carry more weight if, you know, the numbers had changed. If the top spots in the highest paid fields (finance, medicine, management, research, technology, media, government) were actually reasonably close to parity, you might say the movement has run its course. But since we are still far off from that, and women are still expected to do more than half the work around the house and so on, it seems there is still work ahead.

I'm not saying men should not have parental rights (and, it should be added, obligations). And of course there are people working on that issue (to pick one). But do you have data that suggests this is as large an issue as, say, the dearth of women in top positions?

The only reason I went further is because someone specifically asked.

I think there's an arguable point: Men are more likely to be stupid (defective chromosome and all that), and going into academia today is a really stupid choice.

This is zero sum thinking, if nothing new is added eventually you get to a steady state and all growth ceases. I'd further argue that in fact there will be gradual erosion of the job supporting capabilities of the current set of wealth generators.

> I simply refuse to mess with Xorg config files

Messing with Xorg config files is something you do not have to do since Xorg was forked from XFree86, especially when it comes to monitors. Personally the only time i had to do that was to force 1:1 mapping for mouse (ie. disable mouse acceleration), but that is not monitor stuff.
> If the top spots in the highest paid fields (finance, medicine, management, research, technology, media, government) were actually reasonably close to parity, you might say the movement has run its course.

That's exactly what I'm calling out --

That conclusion, that they should reach "parity", is an authoritarian fantasy unsubstantiated by actual data and represents a bigoted sort of view of the world: the only outcome that matters is tribal equality, because people are defined by these base, essentialist tribes.

I'd counter the only outcome that matters is people who want to pursue a career are free to do so -- to which I'd point out that women entering male dominated fields enjoy considerably more support than men entering female dominated fields.

As far as we can tell, when women are freer to choose their careers, such as in Scandinavian countries contrasted with Eastern European ones, they tend to choose different careers on average than men.

Feminism, as such, has morphed from gaining rights for oppressed people into trying to oppress people into a paint-by-numbers outcome, and a position that women aren't accountable for the outcome of their actions, such as when they make different choices than men do.

> All or most of the major tests commonly used to measure intelligence have been constructed so that there are no overall score differences between males and females. Thus, there is little difference between the average IQ scores of men and women. Differences have been reported, however, in specific areas such as mathematics and verbal measures. Also, studies have found the variability of male scores is greater than that of female scores, resulting in more males than females in the top and bottom of the IQ distribution.

> If you're part of feminism in an academic context, you're part of a majority power movement, which routinely denigrates and attacks the minority gender in blatant violation of Title IX.

Are you saying men are "the minority gender"? What planet do you live on? People who are academics are still part of the general population.
> There are so many areas of law and law enforcement that are like this. Turns out if you just let people do whatever most people will do what society considers reasonable because at scale what people do determines what society considers reasonable.

This is part of the core argument for libertarianism - and has been my experience in life. Generally every time I head someone should "there ought to be a law against that" there probably shouldn't be one without considerable thought on the matter.

> Data show that, at the moment they’re hired in research or academic posts, female physicists have on average fewer (fractionally counted) papers and citations than their male equivalents. As the careers of physicists progress, the initial representation gap doesn’t change much, and a second difference known as the “productivity gap” appears. This was confirmed by my data.

I can confirm this does happen based on my limited observations. Some people get hired at the expense of candidates which are better by objective measures of publication, citation and funding records, and those people tend to be women and/or minority groups. And despite being an unfair practice, it is encouraged from top and employed.

If there is a sexism/racism problem, I don't understand how more sexism/racism would solve it. I don't understand how there can be a righteous and endorsed flavor of sexism/racism.
