Ah, okay. I thought we were looking to solve a problem, instead we want to inflict vendetta because we don't like something.
I am not advocating gender segregation but just gender segregated education.

That's quite literally what you're arguing for. Doesn't "jobs board and work spaces for JUST WOMEN" sound familiar to you? You're advocating for bringing us back the 1960s, and worse, the argument you're using is eerily close to "separate but equal." The format of that and "separate water fountains" is identical.

It’s a constant battle of wits dealing with men that it’s exhausting. It’s even worse than in an office environment because men think the tasks that involve physical prowess is their domain. They simply will NOT take orders from a woman. And it’s exhausting trying to make every instruction sound like a ‘suggestion’. I am running out of time and honestly the man was just using brute strength to achieve what physics could do...

And for every grudging acceptance of my way of doing things, I had to endure dumbass flirting. I just couldn’t stand it anymore. And then after every attempt to puff his chest, I have to listen to him talk about his wife because now he feels guilty for flirting. And it’s stuff I don’t need to hear.

Why not fire him?

Granted, given the obnoxious use of caps lock and lack of critical thinking skills, you probably run a small business. If so, you should be aware that companies are legally allowed to segregate for any reason under a certain level of employees.

On the one hand, it's hard to deny that a requirement (or strong preference) like this will often discriminate against some fairly large groups. And it feels cringe-y for that reason. But it's also hard to deny the value of a portfolio that's directly relevant to the job being hired for.

And, if I'm being honest... I do a lot of writing as part of my job. If I'm hiring someone for a role like mine, you can be sure that I want to see some writing that they've done. If they don't have anything they can share? (Which seems a little off. But maybe it was all internal company communication stuff.) Well, they're going to have to write something because I'm not going to just take them at their word that they write well.
The comment hasn't gotten better with age. There's a lot more respect for MS ever since they started their push to be more compatible with the non-MS ecosystem and developers coming from that ecosystem.

“ anything you do on your own is owned by your employer.”

If you use their equipment or their office or their phones. But doing a software project at home on the weekend on your own computer is not going to be owned by the employer in the states I’ve lived and worked in (VA, GA, TN, NC).

Do you have a source for a state where this has happened?
How are strikes an example of "starving the beast"? Are you saying strikes effect change due to the reduction in the tax revenue? I'm very much sceptical on that claim.

As for refusing to pay, where did that work?
I love hooks for most things, but what I still struggle with are big higher level components that hosts a bunch of smaller components where I can see componentDidMount, update, etc.... and get a feel for the behavior overall.

With my hooks I've not gotten that visibility but that's probabbly just me getting used to hooks and how to write them better in a way that makes things as clear as the old lifecycle methods.

It doesn't help that I'm bit of a noob as far as web development goes and most examples I look at are pretty straight forward simple apps for teaching the concepts ... but my questions start when things start scaling up.
I think we should eliminate all references to "excellence" too. If we can't all be excellent no one should be acknowledged to be such.

Preying on public distrust for something as essential as public drinking water is horrible.

This article/PR piece does absolutely nothing to dispute the fact that Hunter got the job because of his relation to Joe. They go after the prosecutor angle because it's all hearsay on both sides and thus easy to spin, but what's indisputably obvious is that Hunter collected those paychecks as a form of influence peddling between Ukraine and his father. You'd have to be hopelessly naive to think otherwise. Don't worry though, the hard-nosed journalists at USA Today are on the case:

>"Hunter Biden? Never heard of him," said Ludmila Rynovaya, 72, a resident of Vodiane's nearby village – population 600 – who was chatting with a friend in a small grocery store.

Case closed! The only defense they can muster is that Hunter was a naive victim who was in over his head:

>"I'm not sure that (Hunter) Biden understood the environment he was getting into" when he agreed to serve on Burisma's board, said Musaieva, the Ukrayinska Pravda editor.

Oh poor Hunter, I'm sure it was all just a misunderstanding.

Two possible explanations: A) Biology is a real thing and genders have differences that extend beyond their gonads. B) Nope. It is all sexism, always, and these Scandinavian women are just traversing an uncanny valley of internalized misogyny.
A well structured argument should take the strongest interpretation of both sides. Having code quality/clarity on one side of the argument, while omitting it on the other, makes it more difficult to conclusively draw an informed opinion.
I agree, that was an eye-opener example
I learned to code from some indie version of basic on the internet called Liberty BASIC when I was 13. I used it for years because the people on the forums were so nice and basically held my hand through learning a lot of basic computer science and exposed me to the history of computing via recreated qbasic programs and games, etc.

I’m super grateful for little things like that. All those older people that were welcoming to me on those forums have a special place in my heart, and I’ve been thinking about them fondly while I build a compiler—something I wouldn’t have been able to do without them answering all my questions when I got stuck.

I'm not understanding what the gender segregation during advanced/specialized education is meant to accomplish. Also, can you expand on this: "I believe that there will be equality between the genders and less conflict if they don’t compete with each other in the same space". Is that space referring just to school or even further than that?
Yes, the intended recipient sentence probably wouldn't be an email if LinkedIn was sending it to an existing account..

But I do think sending unsolicited emails in this fashion is illegal anyway in many places. I always found their attempt to get around this with a specific sender interesting, but I doubt it is universally legal.
I don't think it's about pulling back the curtain, I think it's about there being another curtain.

> Meanwhile, in Algeria, 41 percent of college graduates in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math—or “STEM,” as it’s known—are female.

I used to live in Russia in my teenage years and went to school there until grade 9. One thing that I remember being distinctly different from public education in the US is that the course selection was provided by the school each year and students had no say in this process. The benefit of this is being exposed to subjects that you thought you wouldn't like, but ended up gravitating towards after completing the course work. Not saying that Algeria uses similar technique in their public education, but I always wondered how much being able to select your class schedule keeps students away from discovering their potential in areas where they didn't know they could excel.
Funny that you mention separate class methods for lifecycle stuff. Because hooks were created to solve the problem that this separation brought.
I suppose the argument could be that someone with experience making OSS contributions has experience in how open source projects operate, how contributions are made, just basically how things work.

But, TBH, projects vary so much anyway that I'm not sure how much that experience adds that couldn't be picked up fairly quickly with some mentoring.

No, but I’ve jut seen kit of scientific gear (ADC module) that boasted about having examples in both fortran and basic to make integration easy.
On the other hand, I've been able to get some unsupported stuff working by changing something like VID/PID in an existing driver. Not straightforward, but at least it can be done.
I'm unaware that anything to the contrary is happening. There's just the added public opinion and media backlash, which is always fair. Tesla doesn't get a free pass.
> As someone coming from the hiring side, I don't understand how these companies are finding enough candidates that they can afford to put up all these arbitrary requirements.

Well, they're not; that's one reason why there are so many stories of "not enough qualified developers".

If I give in to my conspiratorial side, I'd say having these arbitrary requirements is entirely intentional, so a company can either:
a. not have to hire anyone at all
b. lobby for H1B
or c. resort to offshoring, outsourcing, etc.
I'll be honest, it's pretty hilarious to read someone talking about taking down the rich when their company was acquired for $13 million in cash, give or take.

2. I won't comment on this, but for a comp, LinkNYC (Free Wifi kiosks) pays hundreds of millions to its partner cities

3. Currently, cities are providing free tap water at water fountains (e.g. bus station, train station, library), the issue is not the cost of the tap water, but the cost to upgrade the infrastructure so that people trust it.

Work places discriminating based on gender would be terrible. There shouldn't be "male only" work places just like there shouldn't be "female only" work places.

This would be a regression to the dark ages of grouping and separating people based on biological identity, not a good idea and honestly not helpful.

There is zero evidence that shows these ideas actually make students or working environments healthier and more productive.
I only have this article to go off of which has the customer service rep saying:

> An employee at a call center operated (or contracted) by Honda reportedly confirmed that they had the vehicle's location, but declined to share it

But even if it’s just pings, the pings have to leverage some sort of network which can be used to establish a general location if not an exact one. That’s still too much for me.
I don’t listen to music anymore during work since silence is really rare nowadays.

Some good stuff I play(ed):
- Terrence Dixon - from the far future
- Omar S and Shadow Ray - OASIS COLLABORATING
- Aphex Twin - Ambient
- Brian Eno ambient albums
- Musik von Harmonia
A beginner question: what's the motivation behind reducing chip size? Less power consumption?
I had this problem at a job where music was piped in, at one time I was a professional musician so I'm trained to hyperfocus on the song at hand when listening, I like having background noise but listening to actual music is distracting.
VB.NET has superficial similarity with VBA and VB6 but it’s a completely different beast. You can’t just port old VB code to VB.NET so to me and probably a lot of other devs it didn’t make much sense to use VB.NET.
Driving in several of the Balkans since the 90s with German license plates always required keeping some cash on hand to buy the officer's lunch. It's probably not true any more for Croatia since its acceptance into the EU, but we still had this experience in Bosnia and Serbia up through the 2010s.
Lifecycles map closer to how the underlying UI layer works, but not to developer expectations. I've lost countless hours to desynced implementations such as failing to account for componentDidUpdate when overriding componentDidMount or missing a corresponding componentWillUnmount cleanup.

I've never gotten gVim to look anything but horrible. (Haven't tried in a few years, so just installed this one and the window and font are so small they would require a hefty magnifying glass to use.)

AFAICT, the sanest version of "real" vim that seems turnkey is the version of vim that runs in git bash in the cygwin shell that installs with git extension for windows.
Other than that, the VS and VSCode vi emulators do most of what I want and then I'm not tempted to to go down the dark hole of vim extensions.
You can always try the extensions available to open those paywalls.

Honestly, it doesn’t matter what you think or how cozy you feel with your employer. Fact is it will now be requiring users to cede their identity and data, where it was not required before. Whether FB uses the data or not is irrelevant.

Can you afford an attorney to defend yourself in court if a company decided to push the issue?

As I will keep saying it does not matter if companies follow up on their threat or not. It still has a chilling effect on people doing side projects which is the intended behavior. And a lot of people can't afford a legal battle even if they had a high chance of winning.
Hackerish tip for a fellow kick scooter rider. You can replace the bearings in most kick scooters with skateboard bearings for an easier ride. Most COTS ball bearings, aren’t optimized for force along the radius, skateboard bearings are. Also ceramic bearings don’t have the same thermal expansion which comes into play on a two wheel scooter. I have one of the small-wheeled ones with good bearings and it kicks ass—and it only weighs 4 pounds.

All that said, you are only more comfortable on scooters. I’ve been riding bikes my whole life, and I tend to think the opposite. I have much more control and power on a bike that I’m basically wrapped around then a scooter I stand on. I’ve gotten in accidents on both without helmets and never had anything other than sore palms, also both my parents rode bikes for decades without helmets and neither sustained a significant head injury.

The difference is in how the state is handled. In Clojure, it is contained in an atom, which is a well documented language primitive which can change value in controlled manner. It's not some magic construct hidden behind innocently looking JS function useState().
Just because you aren't driving you still control the car. You press start and control the route, and I expect self driving cars to have an emergency brake and laws require you to be present and focused to drive on the road, in contrast to the SV dream of sleeping/passed out drunk and delivered by your car. You still get a dui on a horse even if you are passed out on top and the horse is walking itself home.

However if self driving cars aren't individually owned and are run by a transit agency, then the responsibility shifts to the agency who turned on the car. Just like when a train or buss hits a car.

We also don't need to use cars even in cities with poor transit. Most people's car trips are biking distances. Everyone can also own a moped and enjoy 100mpg, easy parking, and experience less congestion than what the 20 foot car introduces to a city. Driving a car is a choice.

The vast majority of business logic code is portable between Clojure and Clojurescript, and the cljc file extension allows the same source files to be used on JVM or in the browser.

Even asynchronous code with core.async is portable! In browser, it will be single threaded while on JVM it will be multithreaded, without any extra work from you.
Sorry, that was unclear. That sentence is from the WebKit/Safari policy which I linked earlier in the thread. (The Verge article is a synthesis of the stated policy and the fact that the WWDC presentation clearly had a screenshot of blocking Facebook cookies.)
If honda does in fact have the location data available, then they are withholding evidence from law enforcement. They are making it more expensive and time consuming to solve crimes so they can extort money from people. This is entirely different from memory provisioning in VMs and other comparisons people in this thread are trying to draw.

A more accurate comparison would be if a hosting service logged the process of one of their customers being hacked, but then refused to turn over evidence to the FBI unless the customer paid them for "special security service."

The legality of doing this kind of thing can be debated, but i would hope people can at least recognize wrong when they see it.
> Your first points is obscured by snark.

What is obscured about the observation that your comment doesn't recognize the differences between self-defense and mass shootings, and how the qualities of the weapon affect the benefits for the user?

> The second seems to be based on a misreading.

You'll have to explain why questioning an intellectually defunct implication is a "misreading".

"that guns are more dangerous and effective than knives. That's why you want the right to own one."

Considering your claim is that desiring the right to own one is some kind of evidence that guns are "more dangerous and effective", it is thoroughly debunked if the person also desires the right to own knives.

> The third is merely the observation that empirical reasoning is non-demonstrative.

It should be noted that making a gigantic logical leap from "guns are more dangerous and effective than knives" to "It's also why the US has frequent mass shootings in schools, whereas there are no instances of mass stabbings in UK schools" is to ignore the social, cultural, economic factors that affect crime. That's not a good basis for understanding of criminal behavior.
