There was an incident related to this that got a couple of German colleagues in big trouble. They were told that a specific change "must not" go into a release, it was OK for it to wait for the next patch release. They heard "must not" as the negative of "must", as it is in German. This is wrong: "you must" and "you have to" are the same, but "you must not" and "you don't have to" are not the same. They thought they were being told "you don't have to" but thought they had the freedom to get the fix to a customer sooner. It seems this caused breakage for a different customer and they were accused of being insubordinate until it was sorted out.
I only dug into this because people were raving about it. Never played D&D, but it did remind me of those text adventure games I played as a kid.

When humans play D&D as the game progresses, are the rules of the world that people establish supposed to be internally consistent and is there a planned plot arc? Can you say there's no gravity and then later drop your sword?
> Even so, you can still point to the discrimination being traditional gender roles, where women are the ones who typically stay at home. Or even to the economy itself; we don't value raising kids as much as we value rising through the ranks of management at some cooperation.

Aren't these statements at odd with one another? When you value raising kids at or above office work, then it doesn't look like "discrimination" that women chose to stay at home to raise a family, it looks like a personal choice that's highly valued by many. I think being a CEO or being a grandparent can both be viewed as successful in our society, they shouldn't really be compared directly though.
To be fair, the whole quote is about getting people excited to do work not by telling them the actual actions they have to perform, but selling them a dream to long for and work towards.

It could be that his goal was to get people to repeat his quote about building ships. And he did it by selling some dream about being motivational by telling a grand story.
Both an unhealthy diet and irregular sleep are more likely to be symptoms of any given neurological condition rather than causes. Someone willing to take medication and/or seek psychiatric help probably has tried "just sleep 8h per day" a few (dozen) times before.

Even the famous marshmallow experiment didn't claim that people eating the marshmallow right away caused their disappointing career trajectories. (the successful people actually got twice as many marshmallows out of that experiment-go figure)

Simple Rules ‘Bootstrap’ the Laws of Physics
The computer scientist David Parnas had a great technique for helping his students who were having trouble writing their theses. His idea was this: every chapter and paragraph in your thesis should answer a question. Start your outline with questions. For example:

Chapter 1: What is this thesis about?

p1: What is the problem tackled in this thesis?

p2: Has there been previous work done on the problem?

p3: Can the previous work be improved?

Chapter 2: How did I approach the problem?

and so on.

Then the writer started answering the questions. The final step (usually) is to change the questions into headings or remove them.
Yeah, I guess the top 3 have so much momentum.

A too-big-too-fail bank is using cheap short-term funding (from repos) to invest in long term assets, bonds.

The magnitude is concerning.

When confidence in overnight lending between banks reduces (because the other banks realise what this funding is for), the interest rate (measure of risk) rises.

For repo rates: 2.5% is high, 10% brings the house down, and has a blast radius that impacts the entire system.
It makes sense, if the US is going to push against Huawei. Especially since Intel actually compromised their on chip random number generator a few years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDRAND

Relevant quote "I am so glad I resisted pressure from Intel engineers to let /dev/random rely only on the RDRAND instruction. To quote from the [New York Times article[22]]: 'By this year, the Sigint Enabling Project had found ways inside some of the encryption chips that scramble information for businesses and governments, either by working with chipmakers to insert back doors....' Relying solely on the hardware random number generator which is using an implementation sealed inside a chip which is impossible to audit is a BAD idea."

> Every time I want to write a class that manages a resource with RAII, I am almost always writing a copy constructor, move constructor, assignment operator, move assignment operator, and destructor.

No you aren't. You only do that at the lowest abstraction level. For normal classes you can add a vector member and it will just work (see "rule of zero").

> On the other hand, if I write the equivalent code in Go or Nim, I can just add something like a Close() method.

Yes, and then find and update every place in the code where that class is instantiated. If the class was ever instantiated as a temporary, you also need to pull it out into a named variable so you can use defer. If the class was ever used in a vector, you need to find all the places where an element of the vector is removed and make sure close is being called there, etc.

This is really awful, so in a language without RAII, you are strongly incentivized not to tie ownership to object lifetime. I've found the best way is to aggressively simplify managed lifecycles and do allocation/cleanup in some kind of manager object.

The clarity in my head overpowered everything. If I didn't get enough sleep, I still felt it. Again, it was a lot like being wired on coffee but without the uncomfortable side effects. I could feel the fatigue like I should sleep but while still having that clear head. Kind of like when you drink a bunch of coffee to wake up. ;)

Again, everything went out the window with some major life changes at home. And I'll be looking at getting back on after the holidays. But when I was sleeping well during this same period I was amazed at how I was able to settle into a route of being dead tired and jumping out of bed at the same during at night and in the morning respectively. This is probably another normal life thing which I had never discovered because I had never thought to set a normal sleep schedule. Everyone looks at sleep as something to be managed and scheduled rather than listening to the body.

It's interesting that you mention your kids are your alarm clock. Kids generally need more sleep than adults. And of course adults look forward to putting the kids to bed to get some quiet time. Maybe try timing your sleep so that you sleep right after the kids and wake up on your own before they wake up? Hopefully that would be a viable experiment in your household. ;)
As someone who's relatively well-described by this article as having ... largely shifted my viewpoints, I both agree that the privacy concerns for callers are real, but also have a hard time sorting out how any identity system that doesn't accurately reflect the calling number to the recipient, would work.

Alternatives might be for telcos to track caller reputation, or for there to be an additional trust/verification step for certain cases. For individual call recipients, that's the general problem currently. In the case of businesses, there are generally two problems introduced by Caller ID (or its lack):

1. Filtering out robocalls and spam / scam calls.

2. Preserving the privacy of other callers. For toll-free numbers, the caller's identity (or at least number) has long been available, ostensibly for billing purposes, but as a bit of tracking and marketing data was also a key selling point of such systems. Yes, you're paying for the call, but you're gaining valuable (to you, if not the caller) marketing data.

When Caller ID systems first went into place, that tracking information was a concern. Note that Caller ID blocking (an actual service) did not apply to 800 / toll-free numbers:

This is just part of the larger pattern of anti-male expression in the media. It's remarkably consistent.

If there's a study about differences between men and women, it will only be published if it can be spun such that the women are better.

In a sitcom, the husband will always be the dunce of the family, and the wife is always the steady, responsible one.

If there's a problem affecting genders differently, it'll always be presented as affecting the women more, while the men's suffering is simply ignored. This can reach absurd levels. E.g. Women's share of university degrees recently passed 60%. The media spin? "It's so terrible these women won't be able to find men educated enough to satisfy them."

The reason is simple. All these academics and journalists are under watch from cultural police. If any of them ever wrote something that indicated men were better in any way or context, or were victimized by women in any way, they'd be subjects to a brutal and likely cryptic personal destruction campaign by feminist activists.
You dont need NYC levels of density to achieve big improvements though. You just can't have a "city" full of single-family homes like you do in places like San Francisco.

I'd also posit that the culture changes follow, and are directed by, the density. That's my speculation though.

> They claim that lack of female participation at the higher levels of the corporate food chain is due to discrimination without even talking about women dropping out of the workplace at a higher rate to have children (or any other conflicting points of view). Seems like junk "science".

From the article:

> Female employees, on the contrary, have the same career progression regardless of the manager’s gender.

I read it as women who don’t drop careers are accounted and don’t disprove the point.
It's pretty straightforward to motivate people. You just have to make that what you teach them has value that they can use immediately. For example, to motivate someone to train in self-defence, just beat them up every week. Now learning self-defence will have value in their life. If they don't get beat up weekly, what's the point of learning self-defence? If it's only once a year, then who cares. Spending time every day to counter something that only happens once a year isn't worth it. It's less trouble to get beat up once a year than it is to spend learning self-defence daily.

There just has to be an immediate value in what you teach. If there isn't, there's no point in teaching it. Students will just forget it anyway after the test.
Good luck and I'm rooting for you! It's worth working through the mood issues. Keep it going. Think of it like detoxing from cigarettes or alcohol. You'll have those mood issues but it's worth it.

Not sure how this would be much of a penalty; how many rich folks who donate to politicians are themselves wanting to run for office?

Disenfranchisement for N years (where N could be "for life") would seem to make more sense. But it would probably have a side effect of pushing that person to find backchannels of influence.

Finance does not seem to be included which is probably the main explanation for NYC not being on the list. It seems a biy idiosyncratic from the perspective of someone in what HN readers tend to think of as "tech" but I'm sure there's some methodology behind the choices.

Metasploit for drones? Best of luck with that, muses veteran tinkerer
"New tallest skyscraper in the world" has long been recognized as a sign of impending financial collapse. I wonder if one could objectively evaluate "inartistic garbage selling for high prices", as a means of predicting the same? Esthetics is hard to rate objectively, but there would certainly be a consensus agreement on both of these examples.
I think the article is right on and makes a good point. The title does imply that containers are somehow bad for system administration. But the point is not that a container with a nicely installed, maintained, sensible image and applications pre-loaded on it would be a problem for system administration. Nor would it be anything but trivial to update patches in this situation.

The real point the author is making is that many times containers are misused to paper over problems like lack of reproducibility, dependency hell, etc. They aren't reproducible, certainly not by you. If they were you'd not need the container in the first place, or you could build your own easily. So for this kind of misuse, the analogy to Tucows Windows 95 shareware is pretty close.

Hadoop and Docker are just the examples to make the point. And they are good enough ones, because I could understand exactly what the author meant. There are certainly hundreds of other examples.
Side point is that it's hard to believe that there isn't a group of women who got promoted or advanced because the men they worked under found them appealing or nice to be around (in a non sexual relationship way).

The real issue is people becoming “enraged” in response to reading something on the internet. We can hardly control what comes to our attention. By responding emotionally to anything that rises to our attention, we cede control of our emotions to outside actors.
Afaik specifically browsers' hyphenation algorithms aren't made for optimal output. Software like InDesign or TeX spends some time juggling the text to find the best layout for an entire page or several of them, taking a bunch of factors into account. Meanwhile, a browser has to slap a paragraph together in a few milliseconds.
Waterfall refers more to the fact that further work (development, testing, or deployment) has to wait for someone else to finish something else first. Multiply that by how many “steps” something has to go through before being released. This implies everyone is taking work in large chunks instead of small iterations, and that too much is being planned too early instead of learning as you go.

Taking things iteratively, small iterations, delaying decisions, learning as you go — that’s what agile development is. And all the stuff you mention above is possible when developing with agility.
If your city is dense enough that you live within walking/bus distance of your work and basic necessities (groceries, etc) you dont need to have every single person own a car.

One of the big things is that it uses more common UDP rather than a completely new IP protocol like IPsec wants. This makes it play much nicer with a lot of networks that have unusual setups or restrictions that otherwise block IPsec. OpenVPN can also accomplish that, but it's got a more complicated setup than WireGuard since it needs a full TLS stack and certificates.

A Gulfstream 5 has a range of 12,000km. For comparison, a Boeing 787-8 (one of the longest ranged commercial airliners, often used for transpacific travel) has a range of about 13,000km.

Even the smaller private jets, such as a Citation, have a range of 6,500km, which is still more than enough to go transatlantic in a single flight, or even US<->Asia in 2 hops. For comparison, a Boeing 757 (often used for smaller US<->Europe and US<->South America flights) has a range of 7,200km.
Back then I imagine the real problem wasn't the "hardness" and physical demands of the labor, but the risk of physical injury due to poor safety controls/practices that "caused their bodies to break down."

For women especially, hard physical labor, assuming it's done safely, will do more good than harm. It's one of the few effective means to combat osteoporosis, and something folks have to go out of their way to try reintroduce in the form of exercise and gym memberships these days.

I have a construction worker father and stay-at home sedentary mother whose only labor in life was childbirth and light house cleaning. There's no way in hell I'd sign up for her outcomes over his, even including his acute injuries from easily prevented poor worker safety like the nail in the eye or skin cancer from decades of shirtless hard labor.
I think caller-id got alot cheaper in that era. IIRC, my parents upgraded to a bundle with numeric dialing, regional long distance, and caller-id around that time. Previously, I know that numeric dialing was a $10/mo upgrade, and caller ID required that plus something like $17.

When the price came down it was worth it so that my mom could screen forced overtime calls. She was required to report to work if contact was made, so we basically didn't answer the phone at certain times! I remember coming back from college and my sister answered the phone on a Sunday night, and I was shocked.
Results in either direction will make some people angry, but the power differential in terms of who will actually punish dissenters is obvious. One of those sides gets you fired for arguing it respectfully in good faith (e.g. Damore) and the other doesn't.

More evidence is the asymmetry in your own statement:

>Some people will be enraged by the suggesting that there is systemic bias against women, while other people will be enraged by the suggestion that there isn't.

You never even acknowledge the possibility that someone could think there's a systemic bias against men.

Are there no required classes like that in your state? I took a consumer economics class in high school just over a decade ago out of requirement and looking at the current curriculum for my high school still shows an Illinois consumer education requirement which can be satisfied by consumer economics, economics, AP macro, AP micro, Introduction to Family & Consumer Sciences or Introduction to Business.
> Its doubling and quadrupling (even 10x) the number of housing units that is really needed and that affects everything - more cars, more schoolkids, more water, more trash, more crowds.

If you're 10x the number of housing units, there will be less cars though.
I don't think EVs can be exact replacement of traditional vehicles in all instances yet, for this very reason. But in many cases they fit a use case perfectly. In my case I have 4 kids and a wife, and we have 2 cars. One is a mini-van and fits everyone with room to spare. The other one only seats 5 (uncomfortably) but I only use it to drive myself to work. So my next car may very well be an EV of some sort, but we cannot replace the mini-van with an EV due to the range and requirement that we need to drive farther than that (which means quick fueling at gas stations).
We don't really know about the fine details of diet, such as the importance of meat, the kinds of sugars and fats that are good for you, etc... However, the are some obvious things we know for sure. Eat too little and you starve, eat too much and you become obese, don't get vitamin C and you get scurvy, etc...

Same thing about sleep. No sleep = you die. Starting from there, it is obvious that extreme sleep deprivation is bad for you. It is the details that are less certain.
