It's notable that in general, even when paid, "women's work" is less valuable than men's work. The younger a student is, the more likely they are to be taught by a woman, and the less they are likely to make -- but is teaching a high schooler harder than teaching a first grader? Cleaning, child care, and nursing are all both female-coded and low-paying.

Women are often pushed towards professions involving some kind of care -- and it's expected that they'll want it because they have an emotional attachment rather than for money. Being a homemaker is the limit case: absolute attachment and zero pay.

I wonder what would happen if we simply made the purely numerical correction of counting homemaking in GDP. Would we value it more? Would it make it more attractive to men? Would we develop better infrastructure?

Ok, but the arrow of time being what it is you cannot fork something usefully after all the code has been taken away. You can now fork the readme and change that.

It's true I think everyone should do what I do which is to fork anything I think I might need at some point , but that isn't what you actually suggested and it isn't what the parent comment was observing could be a problem for people.
I think people are arguing that to be fair, time spent on raising children should be shared equally between father and mother.
Why would you lay people off if not to cut costs?
I would expect that if wages wise, that screens-per-person would increase and children-per-person would continue to decrease.

Housing, healthcare, and actual-cost-of-food (because eating out is on the rise) are all increasing beyond any realistic hope of political reform. Best to optimize for children at the expense of any dream of middle class comfort.

My parents had a low income and made 2 kids work. I expect to stretch things thinner than they had to even with our middle class-ish income. (Most meals are homemade and vegetarian for example).

It uses the both the Apache and MIT licenses, each of which clearly allows redistribution of derivative works. It will be interesting to see if anyone (much less the abusive people) are willing to put their money where their mouths are about it.

OK, so they're scientifically valuable, historically valuable, perhaps emotionally or culturally valuable. That's plenty good enough reason to save them - I'm not trying to argue they shouldn't have been saved.

But I'm still not seeing that they have any current economic value. Which is fine, not everything needs to have economic value, I was just curious if there is some that I was missing.
The statistics do not tell the whole story.

A reason I suggest young women speak with women who started families mid-late career would hear actual experiences, giving perspective that it's not as bleak as the statistics show.

We had two children, both healthy, after mom was 35.

We also had a pregnancy that didn't go to term.

I surmise women might take some comfort in knowing that pregnancy complications are normal.
Unfortunately they released it without any testing and it cannot be used. Here's what happens if you try to enable Advanced Protection:

1. Enable the Smart Lock app, add it to your account, use it to login
2. Enroll in APP
3. Notice that the Smart Lock app was automatically removed from your account
4. Attempt to authenticate, and see that the login process requires Smart Lock and actively prevents the use of hardware security keys (my FIDO keys work on desktops, and via NFC on other sites in iOS), does not allow TOTP codes, and does not accept g.co/sc codes from other trusted devices.

The most annoying point is #4 since “use a security key” would work if the app used the built-in FIDO support.

I'm sorry, I don't see the problem. It's a completely apt metaphor for people buying into group-think, with disastrous results. The Jonestown tragedy is a perfect example of what happens when people don't question what they're told, and we should never forget it.

In her article, she explains her hypothesis that women leave top-flight STEM/academic careers because the demands (and, crucially, when they must be met: 20s & 30s) conflict with the demands of bearing children during a woman's most-likely-to-be-successful childbearing years. She goes on to suggest that creating more supports for mothers such as affordable childcare and possibly collaborative academic working environments might mitigate the issue.

What leads you to think primarily about "passion" & socialization? It seems almost as though we read different articles, I didn't see anything about that.

When you say you had "all the AWS certs", which ones specifically? I've worked with AWS for a couple of years now, and most of my knowledge has been gained as I have needed to solve certain problems. I'm in the process of studying for some of the certs.

Still, I find the AWS ecosystem is so vast, and I certainly have gaps in my knowledge. The process of studying for the certs has forced me to approach AWS with a more academic lense, learning some things that I may have not known otherwise.

I can't help but feel like some of these bits of information ultimately give me more context, and may even make me more effective on the platform.

edit: wording
I've been waiting for the hype and marketing to collapse for a few years.

Probably the fastest way to tarnish public perception of AI would be to keep pushing "AI-enhanced" products in front of the consumer as has been done. These things tend to demo well and have a nice cool factor for the first fifteen minutes or so, but after any kind of prolonged usage the limitations and rough-edges come up quick.
Some degrees are more practical than others.
Yeah, except that that's A) the designer, artisan variant, and B) a whole different class of device. IIRC, it uses a semi-integrated standalone wireless keyboard, which would add a whack ton of thickness to something that's marketed as being fairly small.
This argument confuses and saddens me. If I give away free food which I and others know to be contaminated with foodborne pathogens, is it wrong for them to criticize it? What if I don't know, but I obtain it from a supplier which is known to persistently sell contaminated food? What if I put up a sign in very small print saying that the food comes with no warranty whatsoever and all consumers eat it at their own risk? What if I put up a large sign? What if instead of pathogens, I intentionally add lead-based decorations on the basis that they look and taste good, even if they may be slightly carcinogenic if consumed? What if I clearly state that the decorations must be removed before eating? At what point do I acquire moral culpability for the harms suffered by my customers? These sorts of comments seem to imply that there is no problem with me doing any of this, as long as the food is provided for free and consumers have the choice to not take the food. I would vehemently disagree with that claim. Uninformed choice is not a true choice, and even informed choice cannot excuse certain foreseeable harms.
For me, the isolation is the point

Sure, but batteries are far more 'core' to Tesla's businesses than trucking or car carriers. TBH, I never understood that comment by him. I imagine he got interviewed right after some Tesla operations meeting where they were struggling to find trucking capacity and he just blurted out 'lets build car carriers' to the nearest microphone.

I don’t want to come across as toxic myself, but I think that the toxicity that Evan sometimes has to endure from people in the community is somewhat self-inflicted.

Last year I wrote a web application in Elm. Even though I really liked the language and had lots of fun writing code, I noticed that the users effectively have to rely on Evan to make any meaningful progress. The ‘forkability’ of the project is very poor.

To give you a couple examples of that:

- Elm has a centralized package repository: https://package.elm-lang.org/. There is, however, no functionality in Elm to host your own registry, whether it is public or internal to your organisation. The monolithic compiler/build tool hardcodes the URL of this registry.

- Relatedly, there is no way you can easily fork a package and apply some changes, especially if you have no intent to host it through the official package collection. There is no way to say: “I want to use elm/http with this tiny local patch applied that I have sitting in my tree.”

- Some parts of Elm’s grammar/intrinsics are only permitted to be used by packages with author “elm” (i.e., the official core packages). This means that you cannot fork, say, elm/bytes to yourname/bytes and make local changes, as it can no longer be built.

Because of this, the maintainers of Elm don’t just decide what goes into the tree, they effectively also decide what users may do on their end. They are the folks sitting behind the master control panel and people filing issues/pull requests rely on them to push the buttons for them. I can understand why this causes friction within the community.

Note that this was my experience using Elm early 2019 (January-April). It may well be that Elm improved in these areas since.

Did the laws have protections for the current home owners?

It seems perfectly reasonable to me that people would want to protect themselves if they don't have any assurances that developers won't just build ugly tower blocks.

On the other hand, if people are opposing development that involves real architects developing aesthetically pleasing designs that respect the existing community, then it seems reasonable to me to criticize NIMBYism.

Excel is programming.

I have to quote rms now, because it's just too perfect:

https://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.en.html

> Multics Emacs proved to be a great success — programming new editing commands was so convenient that even the secretaries in his office started learning how to use it. They used a manual someone had written which showed how to extend Emacs, but didn't say it was a programming. So the secretaries, who believed they couldn't do programming, weren't scared off. They read the manual, discovered they could do useful things and they learned to program.

Excel is that way now. It's programming for people who do not program, and it's no less mentally involved. It's just harder to extend beyond a certain point, because Excel is a pretty lousy development environment, and it typically doesn't have productivity helpers like source control.

It's also hard to port an Excel program to anything else because spreadsheets are their own programming paradigm, almost, although 'dataflow' isn't a completely alien term in the CS world.

I had this happen, in a small way, after grad school. After I graduated, the university revoked some small stipend I was getting (a few hundred dollars) because I had somehow failed to qualify in the final semester. After that, they refused transcripts until they were repaid, so they pretty much had me over a barrel.

Got the last laugh, though, as they hammered me for donations to the alumni association for the next two decades. Not one penny.
Hiring is much more nuanced than that. Putting people into categories like "Military Person" and "College Grad" is stupid.

I think we should all appreciate people's life choices, recognize people's hard work no matter how they went about doing that hard work (military, college, self-taught... who cares) and give people equal opportunities.

I've come to find that this is typically how life plays out anyway, most decent companies aren't particularly worried about the minutia of your background and are much more focused on what you know and what you can bring to the table now, and rightfully so.

I like meritocracies. The world should always operate as a meritocracy. It's 2020 for fucks sake lets end the gate-keeping.
Amazing, TIL. I'm usually picky about words, but I've gotten this one wrong. Turns out the verb "jive" like was used here actually means to speak falsely -- a sort of literally/figuratively meaning inversion.
Pull Back on Your Ambitions and Get Small Things Right First
Our profit/loss for the year is determined by growth rate.

In 2013 when we hit product market fit, we ran at a huge loss (on a percent of revenue basis), so much so that we wouldn't be able to survive without raising capital from investors. That or 90% of the customers signing up wouldn't be able to launch a droplet.

We are running at a modest loss now, which is ok because we are growing and also because whenever you launch a new product or feature the up-front costs are much higher to get the initial product built and there is no revenue contribution from it until it's launched and has ramped up.

But even so we did manage a completely net profitable year in our history in 2017, which I'm very proud of, and have been at a slight loss in other years. We still have plenty of our Series B raise in our bank account.

When you look at today's IPOs they are losing 40% more money than they collect in revenue! We are no where close to that. As we have been net profitable already, and now are just fine tuning our investment vs return, so that we can continue to grow responsibly.
I'm born and raised Sonoma County (as is my wife) and we are about the only people we grew up with who still live here. We saved/worked through college bought a house at a decent time (2014), and our mortgage payment for 3BR/2BA is less than many friends pay for a room. If my wife wasn't a winemaker we would most likely not be living here either. I cannot begin to understand how or why people would move here, and many people have come from out of the area to work at the City I work for only to leave after a year or two of living in a home 1/4 the size of where they come from and saving absolutely no money despite their pay increase. We've had 3 people hired for the same position all decline after a month or so of looking for housing, saying they cannot find a place where they could afford based on the salary (and the salaries are high).
Ughh, you can provided that they are

1) Small
2) Short lived.

Because they live on the stack and follow the rules of value types you really shouldn't be using them for anything major. I.e. you want to model a SQL query result for a table with more than 3 columns? Probably struct is NOT the way to go, use a POCO class.
Agreed on all counts: Rust is a tool and you don't have to agree with the tool designers. It's just bizarre to ignore precisely the aspect of the tool that singles it out, the reason it was created to begin with, the one thing this tool is very opinionated about.

You can also write all your Haskell programs with all functions with type IO. You can use a hammer to paint portraits.

Just expect eyebrows to be raised.
So there exists a startup that wants to deliver junk to your door because of reasons? This is a $0.7 BILLION funding round and it has got to be SoftBank that would invest in this unprofitable scam.

H.323 is the internet protocol designed by phone people, SIP is prime example of second systems effect caused by internet people trying to make it “more internet-ish”.

The reason why H.323 is “unspeakable horror” to internet people is mostly about it being built on top of existing practice of telco signaling, so: global titles instead of URIs and ASN.1 PER instead of HTTP-style (in case of SIP arguably overly verbose and complex) text messages.

Edit: and IIRC there is significant user experience difference caused by that: H.323 supports the traditional telco style Initial address/Subsequent address/Address complete dialing, while SIP works in terms of complete SIP URIs and the user terminal has to somehow divine that the dialed number is complete.

This is what is said. So why do you appear to oppose?

Programming today still means 85%-90% doing repetitive stuff. Tools could do away with this, freeing the developer/engineer to spend more time on solving actual problems.

If you oppose to this, please state the reason why, since I'm probably fogged.

To be more clear, I don't propose to make programming easier. I do propose to make so-called "programming" go away, to focus on the actual problem-solving part. "Programming" to me means mostly translating requirements into code (without having to deal with decomposing and recombining requirements, which is the real work).
I’m curious about inter-California migration as well.

Rust Code in Unreal Engine
When it comes to winner-takes-all (the bread & butter of VC economics,) it strikes me as dissonant to bet both on no-code and on dev tools.

No-code’s winner-takes-all scenario presumes full automation of developers. It’s in the name: no code, no developers.

Postulate: software developers will remain necessary as long as human brains don’t natively speak “Von Neumann.“

Thus the winner-who-takes-all is going to be “with-code,” not “no-code.” “No-code” is a misnomer and a dead-end.
Why should we expect them to get it right the first time?

This isn't their first time (the ARJ21 was). Will COMAC succeed where Mitsubishi (Japan), Bombardier (Canada), Sukhoi (Russia), and Lockheed (USA) have failed? Maybe. But China's set a deadline of 2025 to have their own homegrown product in service and it's doubtful that specific goal will be met.

The western aerospace industry is hardly betting against China here. I think Airbus was expecting COMAC to be competitive by 2020. Hell, a huge part of the reason that the 737 MAX exists today is that the Boeing CEO thought China was their biggest threat.
