This is for self education as much as self amusement. Have you never done an assignment at school/college/university?
Ah no. It's an article about a software engineer in a software company which they call elite. It's shared on a site with tech people and commented on by tech people.

Elite has a meaning. It's not just a 'nice place to work'.

If you aren't able or willing to articulate your rebuttal to my comment then you shouldn't have hit reply on the original comment and then proceed to dodge/re-frame the world so you can be right.

> My original point still stands

No, it really doesn't, at all.

> Let me guess, you work at a company that's """elite"""?

No.

edit: also, could you please stop pulling made up stats out of your behind? " top 10% of companies in the Bay Area". "top 1% earner for your age bracket".

percentages & stats are real things - not flippant things which have no meaning.
Eh? I said that all of Group B are parents in my explanation.

You appear to be right, I misinterpreted something from a talk of David LeBlanc.
Yes, sorry I was unclear about that. I knew multiple parts of it, but not what position the segments would go into. I had also mixed the passphrase up with another old obsolete one, so I had too many of these segments (back then I broke up the passphrases into blocks of 4 chars in my head) to fit in.
There was also a couple of chars that I was uncertain about so those got "fully" brute forced.

The worst part about the process was that it was hard to create rules for Hashcat to generate all different possibilities for the passphrase with all the information I knew about it baked in.
Where are you storing that? Is it then encrypted with a passphrase?
I suspect the gp was referring to it using either Kafka or RocksDB for storage.
Super useful! Thank you so much for this.
These aren't bad. They are, by no means, a definitive list. If you can do all of these, good stuff; but there's plenty more where they came from.

To be honest, the very first professional project I ever did (in 1987), was a complete embedded OS.

In 1983, I wrote a Space Invaders game on my VIC-20, in Machine Code. In those days, you had to use characters to represent aliens, so I made up my own font.

I've done a number of text editors over the last 30-some years. Nowadays, most operating system frameworks have 99% of a full-featured text editor built in, and you can do it with a few calls to system resources.

I haven't written any real compilers (haven't ever felt the need), but I have done a ton of parsers and whatnot.
This is exactly why I rent my dwelling and drive an inconspicuous car.
Most of the undergrads do these projects if they do computer science

Typically intent and ramifications. I don't think it's a problem to point out that there are measured differences in the sexes; truth is truth if they've got high quality data to back up assertions.

The danger is twofold. First, people forget that these are population level trends and that it is bad reasoning to automatically assume every individual in a given group conforms with these trends. Second, a lot of people believe dumb and backward ideas about other groups, and they'll twist and cherry pick the data to try to back up their biases without the nuance of presentation shown here. In fact, most of the articles broaching this topic are doing so from a position of malice rather than truth seeking; trying to justify some sort of discrimination or poor treatment of another group.
You seem to be thinking of the labels 'male' and 'female'; but I was referring to 'sex' as biologically reproduced characteristics, and 'gender' as sociologically reproduced characteristics. The labels are statistically consistent, but the concepts are quite different. Sex is stored in our genes whereas gender is stored in cultural artifacts.
I haven't yet pulled the trigger and actually bought one yet, but I have taken safety classes and done some target practice. Unfortunately I live in an area where concealed carry is not legal.

While decreasing rotation frequency is definitely good, I'm not quite sure how is this supposed to help reuse? People will do what they need to to get their job done, exactly the finding of the article. Would be better to tackle the root cause by e.g. having shared, federated accounts or roles. Of course, it's easy to say, but should be worth it in the long run.
To be clear, I was calling back to PP's example of AMD's errata. I just built a Ryzen machine myself and like their chips just fine.

That was my point. Even if they have bugs, they sell and they work. Centaur's chips will have bugs. Intel's chips will have bugs. They all work, and they all sell.

Being bug-free is not necessary, and an unfair bar for PP to set for Centaur when nobody else in the market meets it either.
> my kids started school at 4. I've put them in full time after school care as well, ending at 6pm

> you get them asleep before 8pm

> you can give them a book and that will keep them quiet

And then people wonder why kids don't listen to and respect their parents when they grow up. You're basically just giving school teachers full control to raise your kids at age of 4, and they only interact with you for 1-2 hours during the day and don't really know who you are. I guess I am just raised differently but I can't understand this type of parenting.

Why have kids at all, if all you do is try to get away from them and make them not bother you and live separate life especially at such an early age.
This ignores that in order to become rich, you must be paid more money than you can generate with your own labor. You must have your workers make something for cheaper than you sell it for and take the excess and give it to yourself. This is business, and there is literally no way to become wealthy without severe exploitation.

Some exceptions: the lottery (which abuses the desperate), inheritance (which has no meritorious justification)

Do you have evidence for that?

I asked students in my undergrad course if they had tried these. The only one they had was the operating system. I took two different operating system courses when I was a student and never actually implemented one.
Just want to say, as someone recently on the right side of this, this reply is gold.
> women really are on average less suited for many technical pursuits

I see nothing in the article that suggests this.
Why not “quantum privilege”?
I dunno, the status appeal of money is very much what you can buy with it.

I can technically imagine stores both online (good old tracking) and brick-and-mortar (looking at clothing and subtle body cues: inferring health, psychical well-being etc. - if not matching to external data with facial recognition) being able to quote, with machine learning, higher prices for you at check-out if your financial situation is better. Now of course wealthy people spend less on such "trivial" consumption in comparison to capital investments, but for middle class this could be significant. I mean a kind of thing like this.
This is argument from illiteracy.

Hey, we need a name for that "predictive discrimination"?
When I reconnected with one of my (attractive) female friends from high school (I was 2 years ahead of her) after graduation, in community college. We decided to take a walk together from her house. On the way we passed a construction site on the other side of the street.

She looked to the construction workers and seemed baffled. She told me she was she was surprised that they were 'NOT' catcalling her with me walking with her.

That opened my eyes a bit. She had walked by them before several times and they had harassed her many times, from across the street.

She was either 16 or 17 at the time. I am pretty sure she was not 18 at the time. The age of consent in California.

This is part of the nature vs nurture debate that has been argued for millennia. People try to decide which is more critical.

Politically on the left, I encounter hostility when mentioning innate differences as an explanation for anything. (I always thought I leaned left politically...) I now self censor myself and it feels horrible. Everything is just attributed to deep cultural expectations and similar.

Me, I think outcome = nature * nurture. It makes no sense to try to argue which is more important when they are both directly proportional to outcome!
> Women just have to learn to deal with such men

You're not even considering the idea it could be different. Many people have lived in communities where they don't lock their doors because they were actually able to trust the people around them.

You realize that it is the disparity itself that creates such incentives to harm each other? The rich woman is an apt comparison, because I think the extreme stratification of society is a large part of what creates this incentive to prey. Women are still today decisively limited in their access to wealth and power unless they appeal to powerful men, which is the attention they want. Most men don't get any attention because they are of relatively little worth compared to the rich and powerful, likewise their sense of the worth of women is warped and judged by the standards of the rich and in their desperation to feel powerful they prey upon women they think meet those standards. It's disgusting on every level for everyone involved except the most powerful men, the ones who sit atop the pyramid. Does this sound just?
A good motto with kids is, if you can afford it outsource it. Part of what the US does not do well is provide a basic level of outsourcing (day care) to those who cannot afford to.
> there's no real need to make your implementation more complicated than a single array.

I think you are misunderstood about the concept an array. An array has 1) an interface that is easy to use. On the other hand, by definition, an array is 2) contiguous in memory. Property 1 is good but 2 can cause problems. I think you want only 1.

The solution is to create a data type that has the interface of an array but a different implementation under the hood. You can have a linked-list of arrays, a tree of strings, etc.
> there's no real need to make your implementation more complicated than a single array

Yeah, good luck enabling line numbers in such an editor.

In Emacs, which uses a gap-buffer for storing text, line numbers have had notoriously slow. It's gotten a bit better lately, but suffice to say, a naïve flat array / gap-buffer approach is not good enough for some relatively common scenarios even on modern hardware.

The Adventurous Seafaring Women of the Age of Sail, in Their Own Words
There are folks saying “it gets better.” I have a different experience I’d share- which is it gets different.

I work for a fortune 50 company. I’m about 25 years into my career. Ymmv.

You will hit a point in your career where expectations will increase. You’ll be the person folks look to for guidance. There will never be enough hours in a day, and you will increasingly look at your time as the single most valuable commodity. You will always have to ask- how much impact can I make in this slice of time? Is this thing someone asking me to do the best use of that commodity? Is it more important that I spend that time with my kids?

Conversely, your kids will need a lot of low value time from you as they get older. They need rides to sports, rides to class, they need direction on chores. At a certain point, you’ll realize that self care, so playfully bandied about by zoomers and millennials will literally become a life-or-death priority. You’ll have to make decisions about your time that are best guided by clear knowledge of your values.

I’m a bit surprised by this turn of events. I’d advise folks that are younger to recognize that this is a long process. Make sure you invest time early in figuring out your values, and start investing in them as soon as you have established your foundation. The teens are a time where your parenting gets complex. It may be less physically demanding, but you’ll likely spend a lot of time asking yourself if you are making the best choices possible.
The growth in the field is astonishing. Would be interesting to see how many new graduates there are publishing their first paper.

One time I was watching some retrospective about the TV show MASH with my dad. I asked him what he thought about the show. He said he wasn't too familiar with it. I was surprised because the retrospective made it seem like MASH was extremely popular and a cultural institution for years. My dad said that, due to raising three young children during the time MASH was on, he missed most of the series since my parents had no time for TV, music, and movies. Later on my dad did get back into popular culture after the children were older.

I am now in a similar place with my own young child. I am totally drained after putting her down for bed and fall asleep within an hour or two. I'm not at a place where it's gotten better for me, but I know it gets better. Hope that helps.

Edit: typing out MASH correctly messes with the formatting on this site!
> Women do understand what men experience online,

It is not my experience with the women I know that they are aware of this. Maybe they think it is somewhat reduced from what they experience, or perhaps they think that the only women who contact men are legitimate, non-harassing contacts, but they are not aware that the actual experience is zero initiated contacts.

> because many men have developed a massive victim complex lately and won't stop trying to derail every mention of something women experience online to talk about themselves.

I have observed no massive victim complex. My comment was not intended to "derail" any mentions. I flatly stated my experience and that women are generally unaware of this experience.

If there is no interest in considering the experience of a party for whom you have some desire to influence, what is the likelihood of successful engagement? If you want men, who experience no initiated contacts to fully understand that women experience large amounts of harassment, might it be critical to approach them with the understanding that they have a completely different experience?
I realise the parent comment is being voted down, but I think it’s a good point. If you’re buying a managed service, why should it matter if Amazon twiddled with how it stores data? What matters is that it behaves exactly like PostgreSQL in every way—which I’m led to believe it does.

There may be marginal resultant performance characteristics but they’re unlikely to be significant or wildly non-linear. My understanding is that this isn’t a storage engine rewrite, but a modification to the IO layer at the bottom of the storage engine.

Still, if you want “pure” anything, run it yourself.

Interesting phraseology there. Truth is truth ... unless it supports "dumb and backwards ideas", in which case it's being twisted and/or cherry picked?

> Outlook rules. You will receive far more e-mail that you can actually manage. I only have three types of simple Outlook rules. First, for each Discussion list, I create a separate rule and folder.

Third, everything else goes to a folder called Quiet, which I only check periodically (notifications suppressed).

Despite this, it’s (judging by cars) lower income people who tend to be the idiots driving recklessly on the streets. Being passed by a shitty Honda doing 120mph is common, being passed by a new luxury car doing the same is much rarer.

Why? Probably because rich people statistically tend to have better long term thinking and lower impulsivity, which is why they’re rich in the first place.
It's true, the backdoor roth stuff is basically babby's first tax avoidance scheme.
Parents talk a lot about stuff that lets their attention be somewhere other than their kids because that's the hard part, not because they don't also want to pay attention and have quality time with their kids.

It's good for kids to see their parents with autonomy and goals of their own, and simply not exhausted. Doing so doesn't have to be antithetical to having a warm relationship.

If you're in a loop of surviving the demands of very small children, then even when they have your attention it can be hard for it to be quality time. Carving out some auto only lets you be intentional and actively thankful about the time you do spend with your kids.
> To give an example, Rstudio does only one thing at the time, you are running a code, you cannot open a data frame even to look at it.

This isn't specific to R or RStudio. Start running a slow process in your Python IDE of choice, and while it's running try to execute df.head() to view some data frame - you won't be able to see it regardless of the language or IDE (and for a good reason).

> For a competitive game you are looking at a refresh of 240 Hz

Yes, it depends on the game, what i wrote doesn't apply to every single game ever made out there, but it does apply to a ton of games.

> Even for a casual game 1 ms of extra frame time variance is bad.

If it happens every several minutes you will 100% not notice it at all. In pretty much every high end 3D game (especially an open world one) you'll get way more variance by turning the camera around and/or just walking than that.

> If your Skyrim has one second freezes while roaming the world, your install is busted, because the game in proper working order doesn't do that.

I'm 100% sure my Skyrim install is perfectly fine (it is a fresh one) and it does happen, just not frequently. If you haven't noticed it... well, as i already wrote, it isn't really noticeable. And - especially on Skyrim - you'll also get way more variance than 1ms just walking around.
Yeah I've never understood how people take such one-sided positions on this issue. And it becomes such an emotionally-charged subject for both sides.
