Gotta jump on this specifically, first:

>First of “neurotic” is a psychological term. He was using it in the scientific way, not the colloquial way.

Whether or not it was used scientifically doesn't mean much. If I say all HN users named amw have been shown to be sociopaths, does that remove the social burden of the negative association with sociopathy even though I'm specifically referring to the diagnosis from DSM IV?

To the rest: Yes, Damore was making the point that not all women can be programmers. And he was making it with pseudoscience and "intuitive" beliefs that haven't really been shown to have any backing in the essentialist way that he and other apologists have shown them. It's kind of like saying that Charles Murray is "just" demonstrating that professional work just isn't for black people thanks to the "scientific" differences in their IQ: He's not "just" demonstrating anything, he's cherry-picking science for a conclusion he likes, a conclusion that happens to be inherently (and needlessly) discriminatory.
Today, my background is 25'ish years in security design.

My near term aspirations about the ideas that will matter in 10 years from now include more functional programming with Haskell's QIO monad for basic quantum related concepts, understanding GANs, the gremlin stack for graphs instead of cypher, and maybe some category theory. Solving problems in these areas is the foundational knowledge for the next 10-20 years in tech, imo.

Wow! I'm 57 years old so I'm already into the sample set (they started at age 50).

I wonder if my Sunday Afternoon TiVo binges of "Dr. Pimple Popper," "Below Deck," and an occasional "Judge Judy" are making me dumb!? I hope not.

Oh, and I tried the new podiatric reality show: "My Feet Are Killing Me." I think I'm smarter because of it.

Granted, I watch about 4-5 hours of TV a week, not 3.5 hours/day. But only because I don't have enough hours in the day. I enjoy television, and look forward to my Sunday binges.

You will not get enough CPU time given to a task if it does, say, 10% IO, and 90% CPU if there is an IO hog running in parallel. You either IOnice everything to oblivion, or bare with this.

IO blocks are almost always CPU blocks too on anything that does even minimal IO. And the more simultaneous IO, the more CPU overhead there is.

Try running compiling something big with -J 32 or more.
Both Chrome and Firefox handle that form just fine. In my case it's four steps: login, password, hardware key, and clickthrough. It is fast and painless though.

Plus if you have a bunch of tabs open (G Suite), it will log you in all of them once you log in on one.
This is because certain email addresses have SSO enabled and don't use a password. The only way to know is to get the username first and then redirect to the right place.
Since most people are interested in the time taken to compress/decompress rather than the speed at which it happens, seems to me a better metric would be:

"... decompression time dropped to 14% of what it was..." (s/14/actual_value)

It spends paragraphs saying why the "root cause analysis" is not including ignition.

Disappointing indeed.
We're measuring by revenue by user?

It's got to be something more expensive than that. Hololens starts at $3500, so it's probably a good candidate for instance.

Which kinda gets the point across that revenue per user matters very little.

If we're looking ourselves to software revenue and ignoring device cost, look towards vr headsets. Practically every user is buying expensive games.

If you only want to include things with built in processors as platforms, look at Oculus quest in particular.
I have a very backend (like, orchestrating customer vms) admin panel running in prod with liveview. the elixir backend replaced a flawed stateless django program and has been error-free since we kicked it over a few months ago. Mind you the scale isn't big (we have 10 or so customers at any given time) and will be hiring a junior to build a user facing liveview. I'm confident that elixir is footgun-proof enough to do this.

Well, it's a hint (but then so is `nice`), so it doesn't have any strict postcondition. The meaning of the hint would be that the process won't make good use of CPU cycles at present, and it would be preferable to yield to any other processes now, rather than being preempted later when it are busy.
There's no fan community yet because the service just launched and it's starting from zero subscribers. The 1 year trial requires a hardware purchase, so that will only start to build a critical mass over the next year or so. I don't think it has anything to do with DRM.
Yeah I didn’t think Gore was all that exciting either so I can understand. But unfortunately everything has to be one side or the other. Even science.

I use Enpass. I believe it ticks all your boxes.
Cool :-). I use Symfony for bigger projects (because I have a deeper understanding of it by now and the ecosystem is large) and Python / Flask for smaller projects because I feel there's less stuff pre-configured.

Maybe someday I will use Django more, once I'm deeper into Python or perhaps I can find a freelance Django project.
Thank you for your honest feedbacks!

Not really, and I don't really see how that would work on a touch interface. I've seen countless attempts at making tablets (and phones) useful for more than looking at cat pics and watching cat videos and they've all sucked.

But being able to at least easily view diagrams on mobile may be useful, I guess? I'm not sure if it's supported right now.
I am always at the edge with my computer science basics. Someone who doesn't know their carnough diagrams, someone who can't make a simple computer using logic circuits, who can't understand the math behind finite state machines or constraint programming is never able to get ahead of me no matter what new cutting edge tech they read on a blog or news site. So yeah, I recommend back to basics.
Sure! Remember Linus mantra of "never break userspace". But the code in point is not a legacy binary, it is a new program getting ported to linux.

Still it might make sense to change linux scheduler behaviour to improve performance of unmodified Windows games under Wine if it turns out that using yield (or the Windows equivalent Sleep(0)) is common.

And in fairness to the original post, the author had a latency issue, they invertigated it and correctly identified the problem with spinlock and yield and found out that using a proper mutex is the best solution. The only issue is that they thought that the scheduler was the root cause of the bad behaviour, not the yield itself.

While that's true, it is not that many IPs, and they do not change that much.

Maintaining a list of IPs for YouTube, Netflix, and other mainstream services is probably a couple hours of work per week at most, probably distributed between multiple people in whatever department handles it.
Yea, I've been using Clojure for years now as my default language of choice. That was after several years of trying out various different "newfangled" languages like Scala, Golang, Haskell (ok, Haskell isn't very new), etc. I eventually landed on Clojure and it just clicked.

I use Google’s with many accounts (personal/work/partner)

You don't mention your use case but it's almost always a bad idea to be logging in as someone else, not just at Google but everywhere. Some sort of access delegation would probably be much better.

As for a work account, I keep it in a separate Chrome profile. Not because of logging in but because you can sync everything without risking spillage.
Whenever this sort of policy comes up I wonder about the effects at the extreme ends of the spectrum.

If you're in a position to opt-out of this sort of policy and become more competitive as a result, then this can be great for you because you improve your position relative to the others.

A bit like how people talk about capping incomes, seeminly not realising that this cements pre-existing owners of wealth further.

Right now I'm sort of in an OK position, but ten years ago I would have told you - I don't want a 4-day week, because you're ahead of me, and I want to catch up with you.

I mean, ultimately there's nothing stopping most people negotiating a 4 day week. It just seems to be the case that "most" people accept whatever job is thrown at them, so if you're unskilled, it's difficult to convince an employer of anything even slightly unusual. Fixing _that_ situation (e.g. giving people leverage of some sort) is the way to go, IMO.
You can think of them as verb-like adjectives and noun-like adjectives, or you can think of them as adjective-like verbs and adjective-like nouns, but it really makes no difference one way or the other, and either way they are going to be their own separate categories.
The last time I tried, I used vue-cli to initialise the project and it “just worked” in that sense. Converting an existing JS app might be a bit trickier though - I guess you can specify at a per-component level what they’re implemented in via the script lang attribute. So basically I would go with: latest TypeScript, latest Yarn, latest Vue CLI, initialise a bank TS project, add some basic components to check everything works, move your old app components over one-by-one.

BTW, Fedora recently switched to zstd compression for its packages as well. For the same resons basically - much better overall de/compression speed while keeping the result mostly the same size.

Also one more benefit of zstd compression, that is not widely noted - a zstd file conpressed with multiple threads is binary the same as file compressed with single thread. So you can use multi threaded compression and you will end up with the same file cheksum, which is very important for package signing.

On the other hand xz, which has been used before, produces a binary different file if compressed by single or multiple threads. This basucally precludes multi threaded compression at package build time, as the compressed file checksums would not match if the package was rebuild with a different number of compression threads. (the unpacked payload will be always the same, but the compressed xz file will be binary different)

I've been reading more philosophy lately and something that stood out is that human-centric views, masked behind "welfare of mankind" has long-term consequences. The are much larger problems such as deforestation, animal extinction, pollution, that human-centric views are responsible for. Take into account that we now have 8 billion people and human rights seems like a worldview that's preventing any real sustainability.

Some Ideas for Reducing “Release Decision” Time
The are no "rights" but what the law/constitution/etc gives people.

Not even some "right to life" - a person can be executed, lawfully too, in many countries including the US, if a court says so.

So there's no reason for the Rolling Stones to have a right to music recorded by them, other than special provisions in the law (which we call copyright law).

Well, the same law says that works also go into public domain if you don't release them in X years. This gives everyone a right to any such music released by the RS.
James Damore cares about diversity in tech the same way that a lot of gamergaters care about ethics in videogame journalism.

Same here; even throwaways get built on Django. It's just so quick and easy to test something out. And if you're lucky and it does need to scale… Django can scale just fine for the vast majority of things.

It Just Works™ and the Django group is not trying to steer Django into something that it's not. Same with Flask.

Perhaps there's a relationship between the perceived need for a scientific sounding explanation and compatibility with traditional medicine for a particular idea.

> They believe that without that public optimism, the fragile effort to battle climate change will collapse completely.

I can imagine this being true.

If a meteor is going to destroy Earth you probably aren't spending your last few days doing the dishes and sweeping the floors. You're only doing that if there's a > 50% chance that we'll be able to divert it.

And better than "being optimistic" is rapidly developing the technology and passing the law to make it realistic.
That is by design. Companies that intend to ship locked-down devices or sue their own users for patent infringement are probably not going to be good open source actors anyway.

Your criticism of the criticism is disappointing too. Because you "can't understand why you'd want to edit raw markdown" means you don't understand the audience. I edit in raw markdown because it's faster for me, especially when I need to make changes and it's 100% predictable. I can't understand why you'd want to edit in a WYSIWYG when the end result reflects the stylistic and user experience whims of some development team.

See how that works? Markup is always predictable, keyboard shortcuts have to be learnes for every new system and if their keyboard shortcuts aren't sufficient and I have to touch my mouse, then it's a bad product. (I'm looking at you, Atlassian. Always looking at you.)
I store my keepass database on a private Seafile server hosted on a cheap cloud VPS.

Disclaimer: I am in no way associated with seafile, just a happy user for many years.

Yeah, the perfect amount of bezel is significantly more than zero, I really don't get the hype for maximising screen/body ratios.

How to Determine When You Are Under Physical Surveillance
Learn how to really use a relational database, relational data modeling, and SQL. Not knowing of their capabilities may lead you to unnecessarily complicating your tech stack. You can go a really long way with just this domain of expertise. From there, do the same with whatever key-value store interests you (for me, it's Redis). Python isn't known for high performance but when a django web app uses a cache and relational database effectively, it can achieve a very acceptable peformance. Case in point: the Zulip chat platform: zulipchat.com.

Aside from the database domain, I really enjoy using Rust and recommend it as the next language for anyone to learn, but only after taking time for in-depth relational database training. :).

I would say if you have an appetite for learning something new, then pick something which nicely complements your existing knowledge and broaden your horizon.

For example, if you are a Java/C# corporate developer then maybe learn something different like Go, Rust or go for a complete paradigm shift and look at a functional language which will teach you complete new things and change your overall thinking of software development.

If you have been mostly doing backend why not learn a frontend language? Just pick one which you like the most from your initial gut feeling, don't overthink it.

If you've worked with a lot of dynamically typed or interpreted languages, then pick one which is statically typed and maybe compiled.

Basically, just learn something truly new, which will most certainly teach you something regardless if you will continue doing it for a long time or not.
Here's a thought: if the percentage of cars on the road which are electric rises significantly over the next decade or so, will the corner gas-station have a problem? I have heard that the gas is not really the source of profits, but it is the source of the traffic. If fewer drivers need to fill up (or they have to do it less often, in the case of a hybrid), will the convenience store business model be threatened? Or, perhaps, it will just more or less seamlessly morph into the corner grocery store.
