With what modern medicine can do, sorta, kinda, in the West, if you're wealthy enough. Freezing eggs is nowhere near standard practice (though with ever growing credentialism, it may well just become such), and having kids (really: starting a family) involves a lot of other things than just getting some sperm and an egg to occupy the same space at the same time.

(Also, really, modern tech is currently one of the most family-friendly profession out there, because of demand surplus. I think GP is talking about women living a different reality than men, not about women not wanting to go to tech strictly because of it.)
To continue the game theory tilt, the problem with making the game harder as the player advantage increases is that it disincentivises the player from seeking advantage at all.

In the theoretical game of "capitalism" this sounds like a good idea, but in the real world a government that imposes these kinds of game restrictions through something like taxes only forces the advantaged players to pull out of the "game" completely (a nett negative for those reliant on their advantage long term) and move their advantage to another "game".

This isn't necessarily a bad thing though, so long as the vast majority of players still in the game have enough resource to continue playing comfortably.

Page views are most definitely transferable. Why do you think Instagram was sold to Facebook for $1B?

I guess more concretely, the wikipedia.org domain is a very valuable asset.
You can say the exact same things about the supposedly 'innovative' companies. Did Apple invest desktop computers? No, they copied the concept from Xerox. Same story with the iPod (Rio), the iPhone (Blackberry) and Watch (Garmin).
That's how we did things when I was in high school. Local keypunch wasn't an option, and having somebody transcribe written programs was too expensive for supporting a couple of dozen schools in the district, so we used Mark Sense cards. Those were slow to read directly, so our cards were duplicated to punch cards on the cheap machine while the expensive machine was doing slightly more important things than printing out "syntax error, try again idiot". It was then much faster to batch a couple of hundred syntax error messages from punched cards during free time. One must think about process efficiency.

In my case i've got a flagship panel, the Samsung Q90R (which cost me about $2500) which has a quad core Qualcomm chip with almost instant responsiveness. My Apple TV now sits in a drawer. From the reviews i've seen all the flagship brands like the LG, Sony are all super fast and quite good. I suppose for people buying entry level panels they aren't going to be springing an extra $200 on an Apple TV so they'll put up with a slower experience because it comes included - and that's what consumers appear to be doing.

>>>The goal is to fix the problem that in the US, where there are 5 men for every woman working in top major software corporations

There's also 99 men for every 1 woman working in coal mining. Why is no one (especially women) advocating we "fix" this gender disparity?
With my current understanding, I believe I can answer this one. It's #2. Specifically, your parenthetical comment in #2.

Bias exists and is a problem. It is worth spending additional resources to draw additional samples from the underrepresented population in order to offset that bias. With more samples from that population than the previous pipeline stage would provide if you sampled evenly, you can counter some of the bias without adjusting any standards of quality (capability) based on the population being sampled.

If you are a member of the overrepresented population, you will have a smaller chance of being hired with this intervention. But for someone who is hired, their skill level will be independent of what population they belong to. (Women will not be given an easier interview. They will be more likely to be offered an interview in the first place.)

Whether that is "fair" depends entirely on how you define fairness. This procedure stacks the odds against a man. Our current overall system stacks the odds against a woman. Both can legitimately complain about unfairness.

Thus, it's largely irrelevant that the percentages in earlier stages of the pipeline mean that there's no way for the overall balance can reach 50/50 through only later-stage interventions. Where did this magic 50% figure come from? The only point is to improve the percentage from where it is now. The issues that prevent achieving 50% are real, but don't prevent progress anywhere in the pipeline.

I imagine the additional costs of sampling more from a smaller population would rise dramatically the closer you try to push the outcome towards 50%. So companies will have to decide how much they're willing to invest. Fortunately, there is still real value in pushing beyond the status quo even if you don't get to 50%.

(More generally, the magic number is not always 50%. It's the proportion of the URM in the overall population. 50% is roughly the female part of the population in areas advanced enough to have these sorts of jobs available.)

Wikipedia itself. The WMF could continue as an empty shell and sell its core assets. In fact, it would be forced to by law, I believe, if it was badly in debt.

To clarify, Wikipedia comprises not just the stuff which is free of copyright, but primarily the userbase, community, support staff, management structures, and (configured) servers it's hosted on. There's plenty to sell there.

> If the percentage of female computer science graduates (as a strong proxy for the available candidate population) is 18% (Google for the facts and stats), how is every company to hit an idealistic goal of 50% representation?

I really thought it was the accepted fact and a starting point of all the discussions on this subject, that the issue is the pool of candidate.

Myself I recently tried to hire a developer and that’s a reality that there is nearly no female candidates. And I‘m not restricting it to CS degree.

I don’t understand how it’s not obvious that what can be done at the hiring process is completely marginal. There is no politics here.

The politics is how much we try to aim for 50% candidates (education, training...)
I don't see that as bad faith. Companies have weird diversity goals to do with physical features of their bodies and sexual preferences. Pedophiles are just part of that. They happen to be a marginalized group, but that's the thing about being marginalized, you get pushed to the margins and not advocated for by big companies and popular blogs.

Perhaps if you went back to the days of women's liberation and somebody said "what next, gays?" they'd get dismissed too. That might be right, but it's possible they really saw it as a serious issue before its time.

Sorry, but this is just no longer the case. Even my neighbour doesn't turn on his Nvidia shield anymore because his Samsung TV OS is good enough and the Youtube/Netflix apps are fantastic. Samsungs OS is where the dominant marketshare is so the apps are great.

> It's also hard to enforce tagging when you can't automatically destroy non-complaint objects

You can automatically destroy non-compliant (with your tagging policy) objects, by querying objects that exist and examining their tags through the API (heck, you could even script the CLI to do this), and, if you use AWS Organizations, you can prevent noncompliant resources with a combination of service control policies (to require tagging) and tag policies (to specify use of tags).

> (for instance, by SDK/cli, you can't create an ec2 instance with tags.. you make the instance, then tag it.

That's...not true. The runinstances call in the SDK that creates one or more instances from an AMI takes an optional set of tag specifications for tags that can be applied to the instances and/or any of a wide variety of associated resources.

When I was loading my car in SF to move out of SF (back to Seattle, not much of an improvement unfortunately) I left a note saying "I am loading the car, I am nearby and if I see you I will run out and kick your face in".
I saw a homeless person check out the car (with lots of visible boxes already in it) and just walk by.
Interesting. I wasn't aware Elizabeth I was such an avid translator. Now I'm interested in her work - though I suppose it would be in the contemporary diction, which will make it somewhat less readable than a modern translation. Still, as Philo points out, she's a better Latinist than most today.
I moved to Amsterdam to have a better work-life balance, with a family.

Maybe you decide not to care about starting at the same level. That’s usually an easy fix. The strategy game Go, for example, gives weaker players extra stones on the board to start, allowing both players to try their hardest and feel like they have a chance of winning.

>taught cultural behaviour

There was a video that presented images very quickly and asked you to count spiders and snakes percentages among innocent pics. Most respondents (me included) evaluated to at least 50%, while real ratio was something like 1/5 or less. Also, when you watch it, it feels like snake-spider-snake-grass-spider-snake. You may not run in panic, but you do see it.

Cannot find the video, and it was probably a gif, afair.
Do you think other degrees, outside of maths or physics maybe, makes you better at the things you listed?
It seems unlikely to me, and the fact people struggle with this is more representative of the general population than of the degree itself I would say.

It might depend on how the degree is taught I guess, mine had very little actual programming.
Yes, you can use any python library inside a metaflow step.

Instead of "you are not permitted to reverse-engineer", maybe "you are not permitted to interact with the server except through the user interface produced by a web browser in accordance with the HTML-based instructions sent to your machine by our web server unless given explicit permission by us"; that effectively prevents people from using that reverse-engineered knowledge to attack your site, whilst still permitting bug reports.
I'm sure a lot of very smart people are working on this, and I don't want to detract from their dedication, but man this language looks like a mess. And in no small part because it wants to be backwards compatible with C (the reasoning is unconvincing -- why not just use C++?).

In the age of Go and Rust, which already have a hard time finding niches, I don't really think there's any room for a language like this. And on the other hand, from a research standpoint, it's probably a lot more interesting to build a new language from the ground up.

Yes - you should be able to use dask the way you say.

Your first part of the understanding matches my expectation too.
Dask single box parallelism achieved by multi processing - akin to parallel map.
And distributed compute is achieved by shipping the work to remote substrates.

For your second comment - we leverage pickle mostly to keep it easy and simple for basic types.
For small dataframes we just pickle for simplicity. For larger dataframes we rely on users to directly store the data (probably encoded as parquet) and just pickle the path instead of the whole dataframe.
Lambda has always been the most expensive compute you can buy on AWS -- you could think of that as the premium for being the most "elastic". So this feature is about giving away some of that elasticity for (a) performance predictability and (b) a bit of total cost savings. Note that you can still happily "burst" into exactly as much concurrency as you could before, you'll just have cold starts.

People used to write cron jobs to keep their functions warm, which besides being ugly didn't even work well -- you could at best keep one instance warm with infrequent pinging, i.e. a provisioned concurrency of 1. So this feature addresses that use case in a much more systematic way.

There's some precedent for features like this -- provisioned IOPS and reserved instances come to mind. In both those cases you tradeoff elasticity and get some predictability in return (performance in one case, cost in another).
A funnel representation would be clearer.

If you start with 50% women at age 0, which steps are leaking the most? High school, university, company interviews, people leaving companies/switching careers?

I think the answer is that many of these steps are losing women in the process.

But in my opinion, companies are only responsible for: hiring fairly, retaining fairly, promoting fairly.
Can imagine that quite easily really, only characters missing from that list that would be used often would be curly braces.

> Game development seems to require a high amount of skill and creativity in terms of design, art and development. But whenever I read articles or hear talks about the business of things it seems like there is a huge disconnect between requirements and the compensation. And not only that but the economical impact of games is rather large. It seems like big publishers are doing very well.

Sadly, it boils down to oversupply and people putting up with it due to passion. "Too many" people want to work in (non-mobile) video games, people fight over vacancy, and publishers can keep the pay low and employees overworked as their passion fuels them. Then burnout happens, some leave, and the cycle continues. I don't have a proper source so take this with a grain of salt, but I heard it pays more to work in IT than in game development, in the same region. (Same experience level)

Java Doesn’t Suck – You’re Just Using It Wrong
I think that assertion muddles their argument.

Their key points seem to be that Rust (and other existing languages) lack backwards compatibility and have different memory management strategies. Lumping Rust in with GC languages is confusing.

Whether either of those things matter is another story. From using TypeScript, I'm personally inclined to believe that a superset of a difficult language can't solve all of the underlying problems, while a totally new language can.
Many boards games attempt to make things fun even if you’re losing.

One of the best games for this is Concordia, where you don’t count up the points until the end. You always feel that you have a chance. Once you get fairly good however, you can scan the board state and do some rough guesstimating to see who is in the lead.

Other games can be quite brutal. You make one wrong move and you know you’re in for 2.5 hrs of pain and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Personally; I can forgive an IDE, depending on what I'm doing (just viewing source shouldn't be spinning my fans).

But debugging, deep code inspection and so on are complex features used by specialists.

Slack is designed to be used by everyone; thus I don't give it as much of a pass. Because if everyone in my company is using a CPU core and 1GiB of memory to just talk to people then that's a very high actual cost of resources.

Just like you can forgive specialist software in other areas (final cut, photoshop, CAD) taking significant resources.

Tools designed to be used by everyone should be lean, optimised and feature complete. In my opinion.
This is pretty much what Bear does. It's great.
> If you want to get better, train up.

This doesn't mesh with why lots of people play things. It's play. It might just be a nice way to pass the time. I would rather play basketball against someone my level than Steph Curry playing all out. I'm not playing to win or even to get better (getting better is fun, but isn't the point). I just want to have fun.

For many kinds of play, if you have to train for it, you may as well play something else.
