A kind of pay gap can still sneak in by having roles that are typically favoured by women being less well paid. Also via women being penalised for taking time off to have children (in the US, probably quite a significant thing given the paucity of holidays). And another pay gap that's still quite insidious is when women are passed over for promotion to the next level that has a higher pay grade.

This is not quite as bad as two people doing the exact same job being paid differently, but it can still lead to a pay gap, and some of those factors are worth being conscious of and addressing.
I had a seminar on set theory and the foundations of mathmatics. It was very fun! But, coming from a computer science background, i found the foundations via set-theory unintuitive and a bit ackward to work with.

I know there are some type-system based approaches, how do they turn out in practice? How nice are they to work with "on a low level"?
I upvoted you because I think your link was actually interesting, but I suspect that if you use bit.ly links all the time, I think you're more likely to be voted down by others as people like to see where they're headed to when they see links in HN comments :-)

I don't know of any company that deals with someone who is underperforming by accepting that shortfall and paying them less. That would be weird.
I’ve done something like this with a SolidRun CuBox and a cheap external 2-disk RAID1 enclosure connected via eSATA... 8 years ago. It’s still running - I’ve only had to replace disks as they failed, which is expected, with zero data loss. It appears as a Time Machine on the network, backing up a couple of laptops, and as a shared SMB drive for bits and bobs.

To be on the safe side, I mounted /var on the enclosure, so the SD card in the CuBox is not stressed, and that has not failed once in 8 years. It wasn’t the cheapest thing (and it’s absolutely wasted on this task - it has good media capabilities and wifi that I don’t ever touch), but it sits in a small recess out of the way, and has been rock-solid. Every few months I dump all its contents to Glacier because I fear the enclosure will fail before the little box does.

I expect I’ll eventually replace the CuBox with a Raspberry Pi when it dies, but the overall model is sound, for something as simple as a fileserver. Just don’t open it to the internet - a lot of these small boards stop getting OS updates from manufacturers after a year or two, and their custom chipsets make it difficult to work with vanilla Linux - particularly if you need wifi or bluetooth.

I'm not sure I understand why late binding and Alan Kay style messaging is desirable.

If you send a message to something that's supposed to do a task, and it just ignores your message because it was the wrong type or whatever, how are you supposed to debug that, or reason about the correctness of your program at all?
Or actually go all the way and come full circle. Nothing matters, but you can't escape doing something so might as well do something that matters.

In my experience, deconstructing meaning and value have been most instrumental to me personally finding good ways of constructing meaning and value.

I used an aluminium enclosure for a long time and no problems with heat. And perhaps that's why there were also no lifetime issues either. "Dog slow"? Yeh I agree but mine was USB 2.0. It's much less of an argument with USB 3.0 and even less again if you don't need high performance for your use-case (e.g. backups only).

So I don't think we have answer yet as to why you wouldn't use USB.

JPEG is actually ~12 bits deep, it's just that all the decoders decode it to 8 bit YCbCr, and on top of that cause extra loss by 8-bit YCbCr->RGB conversion. It's possible to compile libjpeg with a 16-bit color pipeline, but it's a hassle, so nobody does that.
Interestingly, OpenBSD is unaffected because it does not have a procfs anymore.
This new floor also means that the entire salary range at Basecamp is now around 5x.

So the highest paid employee at Basecamp is earning around $350k. I've seen several estimates that Basecamp's revenue is north of $100M, so even if every employee were paid $350k, their wage bill would be incredibly low compared to their revenues.

How would you know if it were?
We had a medical student who had her abdomen scanned as part of teaching. They found a cystic looking thing on her pancreas. She ended up getting it excised - it was benign and would've never caused problems, but she had multiple complications and 2 months in hospital as a result of the surgery.

I think Doctors (I am one) definitely err on the side of overtreating in those uncertain situations. Just like politicians, it feels more caring to act than to not act.

If you MRI 1000 people and leave the vague results in the hands of a bunch of physicians, they will tend to be interventional. This will lead to a spate of overtreatment.

Ways around this would be to consent patients for watchful waiting in the case of uncertain lesions. Even so, telling people they have weird looking lumps that you're not going to treat will cause serious anxiety.

Or... is there a Python equivalent of "nodemon" I could run it behind?

Thanks for the great work! I was thinking Jumbo.app would implement something similar by now but I realize the problem was hard to solve because facebook doesn't let apps delete posts.
The problem there is "impervious border". It's impossible.

And even with a perfect wall in place, we still let people through it and over it and around it via other channels. The problem isn't really just people physically walking across the border away from checkpoints.

Sure. It's a correct implementation of the projection method [1] for solving the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, so it is in fact using genuine physics. In terms of physical accuracy, there are some caveats - it's using the Jacobi method (chosen for its simplicity) to iteratively solve the diffusion and pressure Poisson equations, so the accuracy will be determined by how many iterations you're willing to do. That approach won't scale to larger systems. There are also some limitations from the choice of collocated (as opposed to staggered) grids and the approximations used for the boundary conditions. Nevertheless, for a small 2D simulation, you can get physically accurate results as long as you use enough Jacobi iterations and have a sufficiently fine grid.

It's completely possible - I'd argue easier than ever. I think we're in the renaissance of online friends with the rise of Discord. We've had this gap of a few years where we shed our online aliases and moved to MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc; which frankly aren't great at providing an avenue to make lasting friendship in my opinion.

For me, Discord has completely fulfilled this niche. In recent years I've developed great friendships with people on there, which has gone as far as meeting IRL (something I didn't even do during my chatroom/IRC/forum days), to even starting a business! The only issue is finding good servers, but a quick browse through Reddit will normally provide a decent starting point, and networking can get you invited to more private servers. There are communities for everything, from specific video games, to entrepreneurship, to fitness, to mycology. My friends IRL are great don't get me wrong, but if I started talking about mushroom cultivation with them for more than 5 minutes their eyes would quickly glaze over.

These are all interesting approaches. I m surprised there is nothing related to optogenetics, but i guess that is considered too invasive. In reality once we are inside the brain it might prove to be easier to deliver signals, because our brains can learn to "read" a specific sense. This is essentially about creating a sixth sense to humans which can deliver information in new forms to the brain.

If you have a high margin/high profit company with minimum employees you can pay whatever money you want to pay.

Is DHH just saying they could pay less to earn more and they are just generous ?

Minimum wage especially with distributed teams is really a pointless metric.

The same way Google can pay top dollar and above average for all employees is not the same for most of the companies.

I am not saying the companies struggle.. I am saying companies are competitive entities fighting against other competitive entities like google.

Google extracts the vast majority of the wealth from the world that could have gone to small / medium sized businesses and so does any other highly profitable company.

As far as I know, video compression works on areas, not just pixels. To me, it looks like it's trying to update areas of the photo by moving areas of pixels, instead of just updating them individually. This is accidentally getting more than just the part that's moving, and making things nearby seem to move as well.

For instance, in the video provided in another comment, when the climber swings his legs up a bit, there's a portion of the wall that stretches behind him, before eventually un-stretching back into place. It flows behind the moving limbs. I suspect that if good video were taken of the scene, the leg would also be somewhat distorted while moving, but we can't really tell because it's supposed to be changing, unlike the rocks.
Objective c is better in this respect. It is more about message passing than type enforcement.

PaperRobot: Incremental Draft Generation of Scientific Ideas
This is pretty cool! Back in 2012, as a hackathon project, we compiled our then product (MagFS) to run on raspberry pi - and it worked beautifully (minimal work needed, as the client was in C++, mostly compiler ifdef's).

For context: MagFS (sold to EMC, as part of the acquisition of Maginatics) was a full-fledged cloud NAS (mostly following SMB2/3 semantics, although it was also mostly POSIX-compatible) and used cloud objects (e.g. S3 or OpenStack) for raw data storage instead of HDD blocks.

What you are asking is certainly reasonable but may be technically impossible to achieve. It is probably not android but the camera hardware itself that does a large part of this processing.

The reason that today's cameras on phones look so much better than those of 10 years ago (especially for static photos) is due to advanced methods of image processing. The information available to the image is limited by the diffraction of the lens and by the thermal noise of the captor, and these are two physical constraints that can not be loosened. Thus, any increase of resolution is due to heavy image processing, that denoises and de-blurs the images so that they look as if they were better than they can actually be acquired by this captor. This is an ill posed problem since denoising and deblurring essentially act in opposite directions! The solution to this problem inevitably goes through projecting the low amount of information that you have into an image model of higher resolution. This necessarily leads to artifacts in some cases.

For the case of video, the motion artifacts that you observe in the rocks are often due to video compression and the correction of camera shake. The first is done in hardware so there's not much that you can do about it. The correction of camera shake may have a software part that you may be able to disable. Have you tried different camera apps?
So this should be possible to avoid via `open_basedir`. Or apparmor / selinux.

Run time checking is not unreal. Internet run on that. Ethernet run on that.

Too much error correction like sna and token ring make the network brittle.

OK, I must be missing something fundamental, then.

Let's say you want to take payment and ship a product. You send a message that payment of X is needed. And... nothing happens because the component that handles that isn't listening for whatever reason. Do you wait for a message saying payment was posted? How long do you wait? What about the UI? How long does the customer wait?

It seems like a messaging system like this would require all calling components to micro-manage anything they're calling, to make sure things actually get done...

A second vote for HP's Gen8 MicroServer!

I couldn't get the low voltage Xeons for a sane price in Germany, so I settled for a second-hand i3, which turned out to be more than enough for what I'm throwing at it.

I'm running ESXi as a hypervisor managing two Ubuntu VMs at the moment: a router and a fileserver managing two volume groups (6 TB dump storage for movies, music, etc. that's not too important and thus unmirrored, 2x2TB mirrored storage for photos and other important data that should not get lost). Thanks to the two network ports I can completely isolate the fileserver from the open internet as only the router VM has access to hat port. If I want to access my stuff from outside, I can VPN into the router and thus have access to the fileserver.

The next points on the list is Plex or something similar so I don't have to manually re-encode movies when my TV doesn't like the audio codec. Here, the i3 might struggle a bit, but we'll see.

As for the cost: I spent 200€ on the server itself, 88€ on 16GB RAM, ~20€ for the SSD case and power adapter cable and ~65€ on the SSD. The i3 was ~25€, so I'm up to roughly 400€ for the entire server (plus storage costs, but you'll have those anyways). Compared to what you'll get for that price it's an absolute steal, especially when you compare it with several "low budget"/homemade NAS builds floating around the net/youtube.

Bonus points: you can stack them on top of each other.

That is not the point. The point is having the ability to fully control how to react to a message.

Sometimes just ignoring certain messages is fine: You might slot in an object as a sink to log certain messages and not care about others. Other times you want to be able to do things like delegate certain subsets of messages to other objects without having to know the precise set of messages in the sender or ultimate recipient want to exchange.

Returning errors by default is reasonable, as long as you can override that when it makes sense.
