That's the correct way to see things but it's contrary to public policies that say things like "there are less girls doing physics, so we're going to make quotas to get more girls doing physics". That's not supporting individual propensities at all.

Overwhelmingly the feminist position that's pushed to the fore is "any lack of equal representation of females in a roles that're desirable is down to patriarchal actions and unrelated to any natural differences between the sexes; which differences are an illusion".
One notable difference between meetings and lectures is the variance in skill level. In a lecture, it is reasonable to expect that if one student didn't understand something, he was not alone. A junior (or newcomer to a project) in a meeting, however, is a different story. That's a relevant distinction for deciding whether to write down your question for later, or speak up.
Yes.

There is no way to move messages from one iOS device to another (such as a new phone). My girlfriend recently got a new iPhone and wanted to transfer our Signal message history from her old iPhone onto the new one. She said it wasn't possible, and then I spent an hour or two reading about it figuring there must be some hacky awful way to accomplish it. I couldn't find one. This has been an open issue for years [0][1].

Android has an inconvenient backup flow (that involves randomly generated 30 digit PIN and manual transfer of file), but that's infinitely better than the total lack of options on iOS. I do wish Android (and iOS) had a method to download all message history to decrypted plaintext (or JSON) for use with other apps. If I own my data, decrypting it should be my choice.

I regret recommending to my girlfriend that we use Signal, and won't recommend Signal to more people after this.

The (1) in make(1) corresponds to which section of the manual[1] make is in. This is useful in some cases to distinguish between things that might be in multiple sections like printf(1) the user command and printf(3) the C library function.

Getting Hands-On with Elasticsearch
sure, if you're going to be lazy and only do one do text. HOWEVER advocating for the lazy path amongst fellow practitioners is not a great strategy to promote quality output.

Documentation is hard. Good documentation is harder. There are many occasions where video and video-like things are good for getting a feel for something and just plain text is good for reference. We shouldn't be saying "just use text because you probably won't bother doing everything you should". We should be saying "Hey, video, still images, and text all combine to make great documentation and help people to understand and use your tool / product." They take time, but we should care about our users, and thus we should take the time to support them.
Wow, I don’t agree with this at all. The odd question in a lecture can mean the difference between you following along the whole lecture and losing track completely after 5 minutes. The reason you are in the lecture is to absorb the lecturer’s exposition of a subject. If you miss out on that because you didn’t understand one small point near the beginning, you might as well just read a book and not attend lectures.

The whole value of being lectured by an expert in your field is that you follow along the material with them and can ask for clarification where necessary.

What positions are you envisioning in this statement? I'm curious mostly about your statement that "several weeks or a month of lead time" is sufficient for requisite skills (unless, of course, you are implying it's a position that's substantially related to your existing skill set).
This is a new low in corporate spin: "I hope everyone in this group appreciates the thoughtfulness I’ve put into creating this career development opportunity and that you’re all excited to operate consistently with our core values", or in English, "You should be grateful that I'm cancelling all your PTO" (srsly wtf).
> I wasn't expecting Paul Graham to recite orthodox Marxism. This paragraph is only missing the word "exploited", because he's effectively saying that young good workers are undervalued because a large employer makes more money from them than they are paid.

At the very least, if the employer strictly loses money on all employees, the business shouldn't be sustainable (if it depends on employees, and they're not just a frivolous "inefficiency" economically speaking).

There is also this idea that a company, or a firm is a miniature socialism and the compensation structure is flattened in relation to the real value produced. Funny that this type of thinking kind of forces us to use some notion of value not directly tied to market, since the labor you do when working for yourself (and presumably, taking money for that directly from the market) is not the same labor you would do for an employer. The latter also provides you with a host of things (accounting, infrastructure...) that you would have to organize yourself if you weren't working for them. This doesn't even account for more financial stability and fixed work hours that you should get under enforced labor laws. So there is definitely value you get from an employer apart from the monetary compensation, if we are to compare that with the theoretical scenario of own business.
They will probably get an extremely high and disproportionate severance package as is American tradition. But nobody even similar will ever get hired again.

The advice I would give you is to maybe decide whether you want to build an animation tool or a game tool, and stick with that for now. Flash is still one of my favorite runtimes just because of how powerful it was, but there was a lot of complexity under the hood and isn't something I would recommend someone replicate as a side project.

If you want to focus on an animation tool, you'll want to think about things in terms of timelines, and how you can create independent animations with their own timelines and combine them into other timelines. A good example from your website would be the santa walk animation is one timeline, which is placed inside another timeline that moves from left to right, which is in another timeline that that controls the top level animation. Nothing needs to be scripted in this case, you just visually lay out when a timeline should start and stop and appear or disappear like any other video editor. Timelines can be played in parallel or one after the other etc...

On the other hand if you're thinking of creating a game engine you would focus creating a canvas that can programmatically add or remove VisualObjects (static images or animations that you could create in a simple timeline format) and then be able to provide other devs control over the x,y coords of where to position that visual object for every fps time interval that the game is running at. They would additionally need to be able to control which frame in the visual object to show so they can control forward, backward, stop, etc...

Sorry not much more I can provide for guidance but that would be a general start
Think back 200,000 years when modern humans first appeared. That is less than 20,000 generations of humans where for a long time, it was kill or be killed.

Think back to about a thousand years ago. That is less than 100 generations where for a long time, slavery and serfdom were common.

"Big Brother" is nothing more than a tool for the apex of the pyramid of human society. This is how "they" are able to get away with molesting hundreds of children while Joe who takes a drunken piss in the park at midnight is classified a sex offender for life.

So if you understand from _that_ perspective, it makes perfect sense. However, in contrast to every other time before, today the commoner "feels" like they are free. This changes the way they think and speak. The commoners don't feel inferior to the apex of humanity's pyramid. I expect if we get too far out of line, we'll be reminded.

Australia’s democracy has been downgraded from ‘open’ to ‘narrowed’
Well.. it is nice, I guess, but really dumbed down version in my opinion to actually be of practical use. Sure it's great publicity for Reaktor and Finland and whatnot, but I'm dubious of its actual benefits. Teaching basic statistics would be much more useful than "AI", but I guess it lacks the hype factor so marketing-wise it wouldn't just be as cool.

It's as if there wasn't enough of snake oil salesman promoting their business as "AI-powered" already. And what AI does even mean in current context? A bag of machine learning algorithms? I always likened AI to be more of general AI rather than how it's nowadays labelled.

Second: take your code reviews as a great learning opportunity. Don't let it take you down.

Advice someone gave me in a similar situation: coding requires Mise en Place like cooking. Mise en Place is setting everything up and prepping before you start cooking so everything is easy to access.

In coding, this means thinking through how you're going to structure it, have answers for what pieces of code use service calls and what needs to be its own modules. Think about the data and what it looks like: what fields and names does this have? Does it require a set or list collection?

Following up on that train of thought watch the Simple Made Easy talk and really try to internalize what he means when he talks about design.

I personally would love to see more grocery stores do culinary classes to show how to make simple dinners. The only grocery store near me that does it is $75 a person (granted, they are a gourmet grocery store, but that is still very much on the high side). This could be a break even or even loss leader, but I think being able to show someone how to make a simple meal would encourage them to cook more.

Personally, I have made it a point with my fiancee that we are going to make a new meal (i.e. something we have never tried making before) every week. Sometimes they are complicated meals, but sometimes they are simple. But that has encouraged us to learn more and actually enjoy it a lot.

For those that are on here who don't like or are on the fence for cooking, I would really encourage you to try it. One thing I have learned is that with a few high quality ingredients, you can make a meal that is as good or even better than all but the nicest restaurants in town.

I have made bread for friends with just flour, salt, water, and yeast that they thought came from an expensive bakery. Making a pasta with good pasta (or homemade), good tomatoes, salt, and basil has yielded me a meal that I would pay $25 at a nice restaurant for.

Even better, I can control exactly what is in it. I can make a meal for my vegan parents alongside a meat meal for me by only swapping one or two ingredients. I prefer to not have food products with preservatives in it (or heavily processed), so I can make my meals with that.

Corporations are typically highly coordinated, hierarchical organizations with a chain of command that leads from the CEO to frontline employees. No, CEO's are not omniscient, but they have significant control over company culture and policy and should bear responsibility for patterns of corporate misbehavior.

>Pink used to be a boy's color. //

Which shows nothing. The natural allure might be for girls [in general] to go with pink, and the use of pink for boys (is/was it something to do with hunting?) might have been pure social conditioning.

Aside: Are their examples of paintings showing boys in pink? The only historical "pink" I know of is "hunting pinks" which are bright-red.

I imagine we're only talking "aristocratic boys", as red dyes were expensive and most boys through history will have had natural coloured clothing, I imagine.

My eldest boy used to adore his pink handbag, fwiw. That's a very limited data point, however.

Edit: found https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_sources_f... it does strike me these are selections to prove the point, ie poor statistics. Also there might be errors (blue for a boy, and pink for a boy - sounds most likely to be an error). Also that a lot of the pink for a boy quotes are for babies; seems like what mother's choose for babies is different to what children/juveniles/adults will choose for themselves.

Interesting though.
