I took the Sun certification for Java 2 about 20 years or so ago. Actually I took two: the programmer certification, which was a multiple choice exam, and the developer certification that required you to develop an app, turn it in, and then answer some questions about some of your design decisions (I assume to prove that you really wrote it yourself). My overall experience was similar: I spent about a month studying on and off, learned a lot, and felt like I was a better Java developer for it.

No, women are certainly capable of great software engineering the same way that men named Steve are capable of being great football players (Steve Young, Steve Largent). But since it’s clearly possible to build great software without many women, and win Super Bowls without Steve’s, If I’m a football coach I’m not going to start a Steve Initiative where I recruit players named Steve.

That is clearly not the only reason, and likely isn't even a major factor in and of itself. Yes, we might expect to see slightly more men in general in math heavy fields, but that women tend to drop out as they approach not heavier math, but more time consuming/worse work/life balance situations (management) suggests the issue isn't just "men are more mathematically inclined".

Like any complex phenomenon applying to a multitude of people there are several effects happening in different proportion at the same time.

Right, but as I said, the scale of these local delivery services is much smaller. Even if we accept your premise that each local job would be better (which i'm not sure is true, but i'll grant you it), there would be far fewer of them. It's not obvious to me which is better: A lot of bad jobs, or a few good ones?
That's not the point. Smart pointer implementations aren't some dark magic, they're just the opposite: mostly fairly simple to implement (shared_ptr is a little trickier), and obviously right by construction: the compiler does the hard work of making sure the constructors and destructors get called appropriately (and this is a little harder but still far far easier than making sure that malloc() and free() match in all actual uses).

Oh yea it's always easier with scale. The main point I was trying to make is that the hardware is actually pretty cheap compared to the network costs to link it. Especially when large companies dump 2 year old servers for pennies on the dollar because the electricity costs at their scale justify it.

Side note: I took that cluster and split it into 8. Then moved them to different geographical locations and where I could use friend or families residential connections and a cloudflare cluster to offset my cost in exchange for unlimited hosting. Very similar to Ceph actually
Can you explain your insight on why you thought programming would be an unattractive field to work in in 2004, where wages would become much less, like they are for auto mechanics? Since the 1980s at least software has been probably the leading factor in increasing business performance, efficiency, and automation. I guess in 2000 there was the dot com implosion but after that there were always lots more demand than there were devs, there's really been a shortage of devs my professional life over 25 years except maybe 2001 and 2008. I used to worry that there would be an infinite series of much cheaper software engineers worldwide, taking my job for less page. I think there is enough work for all the tech workers in the world, plus many things are easier with local engineers, like product discussions and evaluation of quality. But there are great engineers all over the world, of course. Maybe we've had better university training in the us but I don't see that anymore, the people I work with from india and china are first rate.

Just write some code, some toy problems, find something that is fun and go from there. And yes, software engineers face constant recruitment, daily recruiter spam on linked in. It's been a crazy hiring environment for 10 years, even worse. Everyone you try to hire has a job already (that's where the negative comes in), college students often get jobs offers their junior year.
I prefer the term “lottery factor”. Winning the lottery sounds a lot more positive than getting killed by a bus.
This idea that replacing unsafe code with safe code is "spitting" is unhealthy in the extreme.

I don't understand why the author felt so defensive about accepting packages. As far as I can tell, they've always had this attitude.

Why even make a project open source if you don't want to consider patches? The whole idea is that even if you think a thing is boring, someone else may not and they'll do that work for the community.

Weirdly, this is now some kind of grave affront to the maintainer who appears to take the idea that a compiler check could be added to their general framework as an insult.
My wife and I were talking at dinner about a problem she was having with a Scrum Master at work, and our son, who was probably about 12 at the time said, “Scrum Master? That sounds like something a third-grader would call another third grader as an insult! You’re such a … Scrum Master!”

And I’m not sure he was that far off.

Rust is a programming language. Nothing more, nothing less. It is a tool. If I like the typing and macro systems used by Rust, but I do not care in the slightest about “memory safety” I can write my dirty, filthy ‘unsafe’ C style code with casts, and raw pointers, and multiple mutable references in a giant unsafe block and get a compiled binary out of rustc. And if I use the above style of coding to write a neat CLI tool and offer the code as open source on Github, so be it. What the purported ‘Rust community’ thinks the language professes doesn’t mean a thing. Use the tool or don’t.

I don’t want to come as negative toward Rust or developers using it, but there is a whole lot of using Rust’s ‘security’ focus/features to say the Actix developer needed to do things a certain way. He wrote he, he could do whatever the hell he wanted.
There was a recent post here on HN for a medium article "Get Rich Slow And Steady" [1]. It seems like this is a space attracting the attention of investors. I think the developer tool business overlaps with the type of SaaS businesses described in the article.

There is still space to tackle getting from a no-revenue idea to a stable cash-positive subscription service. My eyes water when I see ideas attracting 10+m in seed capital before they even have a viable product. I remember pitching an idea with a friend for a slow burn SaaS startup (in real-estate). We wanted under 1m and we were laughed out of every room. Everyone wanted to back a potential unicorn and not waste their time on guys thinking so small.

Maybe things have changed but it seems right now there are two categories: startups with huge ideas that can get substantial venture capital to take moonshots and stable existing SaaS business that can slow burn on existing subscription revenue. I'm just not sure there will ever be a market for "Give us 1m and we'll build a company that generates 250k/year of profit".

I agree with this and the subtlety of the OP’s argument. There is clearly a problem, there are clearly many contributors, I have personally seen The OP situation play out with my female friends/colleagues in STEM (and other “high power” sectors). This does NOT discount that sexism still is a problem nor that there may be cultural/societal norms that influence the family planning issue.

It’s a complicated issue, it needs to be tackled on many fronts. As men in the field we should advocate for those things Karen recommends, namely flexible hours, obscenely convenient high quality childcare, and other supports to make a career not the death of family.

Even if you disagree that there’s a problem here (and I think you’re wrong) how would these changes cause harm? Wouldn’t it just be a better world if people were less stressed by these things?
>Sexism is not merely about personal conduct but also how we structure society.

Great.

But my personal experience is that this notion seems to vanish as soon as we look at things like rates of workplace deaths, life expectancy, hours worked, imprisonment, or numerous other areas. And even if they don't vanish, the level of attention devoted seems to be remarkably different. Would the way we structure society in regards to structuring our attention for social ills also possibly include sexism?

And I guess such notions can be dismissed as being off topic. As they aren't relevant to the actual issue under discussion. But when we start viewing larger more structural things as sexism, then wouldn't even such dismissal potentially qualify as sexism?
You'd get too many support requests from customers wondering why all their data disappeared after they rebooted.
Yes, supply and demand are both relevant.

On the supply side, the very high cost of Intel CPUs has been adversely constraining the pricing flexibility of Mac computers. Apple sells orders of magnitude more iOS devices, all ARM-based; if they could sharply increase the sale of Mac computers, it would also be profitable for them -- and it might unify+simplify their software development efforts.
Assuming this thing was designed in early 80's (which it probably was given the LQ470-like DIL 7segment LED displays) there certainly was soviet made NMOS ASIC that implemented most of the functionality in single package. But similarly to contemporary western counterparts it required bunch of funky supply voltages (albeit the supply rails used by soviet alarm clock ASICs are nowhere near the supply funkiness of Sanyo's essentially AC powered alarm clock ASICs) and were nowhere reliable enough to be used in space.
In the part where I have to deliver it 10km away ($3 in gas round way), and if I reject your kind offer you’ll blacklist me from ever being offered a job again?
This is just your opinion, and not a fact or some kind of social rule. In fact, I would say that using your logic, I can say that you should never ever express your opinion on such matters again, since you clearly don't know what you are talking about. Just giving it to you straight. My opinion is fact. Respect it! Do you see the irony?

> think a benefits platform that allows companies to offer daycare as a benefit

Companies could offer daycare as a benefit today if they wanted to. It isn't their benefits platform holding them back.

In fairness, I can see why companies don't offer daycare as a benefit: it's enormously expensive (particularly in major metros) and it would be very difficult to plan what % of your employees would be utilising it at any one time.

Other countries have solved this problem by making it everyone's problem: the government subsidises it. I won't hold my breath waiting for the US to do the same.
I started reading "The Hobbit" to my oldest son when he was about 4. He loved it. What astounded me, though, was that his little brother, who was only two at the time sat and listened with great intent. I didn't do the voices, but in retrospect, I should have. I realized later how much fun it was.

Of course, maybe I shouldn't have been surprised. When we bought my second son the hard-bound original stories of Thomas the Tank Engine, which was filled with wonderful art, he literally sat and paged through it for like 45 minutes straight. And he wasn't even 2 yet at the time.

I also read my kids "The Wizard of Oz", all the original "Winnie the Pooh" books, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and many others, including the usual short-form kids books like Dr. Seuss and P.D. Eastman when they were really little. I miss reading to my kids, but eventually we couldn't all fit in the bed together... (Plus, they're all adults now.)

Interesting question. Maybe, maybe not. If such a move were to foster greater competition, one might think it would help US tech innovation.
Yes, nature and sexual selection were sexist and designed women so that they have to bear the brunt of having children. That's reality, I don't see how it helps in any way to call reality sexist.

And having a career is not the most awesome thing in the world. Many fathers would very much prefer to spend time with their families, but can't because they're expected to first and foremost provide for them.

Best Way to Show Home Feed According to User Preference
I'm working on a startup where I need to show data according to user preferences. I successfully collect what user likes, dislikes, whom to follow, and other stuff, etc... Now I need to show the user data or you can say the Home Feed like how Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and other Social Media Platform shows.

You may be saying that you get the posts of user preferences from the database and show it. But you see if a user following someone and the followee has uploaded three or four posts since the previous visit of my user. Now, this is where my first question arises.

1. Should I show all the posts one after another or show a couple of posts then insert a couple of different follower posts and later show the remaining post?
2. Another question if the above scenario is correct how do I randomize the user preferences and show them with proper pagination. Because I can't just load all the data to the website or app. This will cost me performance issues.

Thanks for your time.

If people don't want to use an unsafe library, don't. If their patches aren't getting merged, clone it.

If reddit is being meany-heads, don't login.

I really don't understand what the point of this post is. It's arguable whether there's a problem, and if you take the author's point that this is a problem, no solution is offered.
> But there are men making this choice, and their careers are generally just as negatively impacted as the women who make it.

I don't think this claim holds up to scrutiny. Yes, there are men out there whose careers are negatively impacted by starting a family, but by and large the expectation is a man continues working while a woman drops everything. That's part of the reason why family leave for men is less common.

Which boils down to structural sexism being an issue for both men and women. Men are not allowed to spend time with their family and women are expected to drop everything to take care of the children. In a more equally balanced situation, men would have the opportunity to be the full caregivers while women could continue their career in their field of choice. But right now a lot of options for families depend on your gender.
Three Papers in the Eye of the ‘AI Breast Cancer Detection’ Storm
I think there's a huge distinction you're missing here. As a volunteer teacher or facilitator, you've made a personal commitment to a group of individual people. I think there's a difference between that and sharing code with the faceless hordes of the internet. Personal interactions differ strongly online vs in person. It would be quite unusual for a large group of people to start screaming at you in person but this happens commonly on web forums etc., as was described in TFA.

If Linus is truly a volunteer, then he owes me and the rest of us nothing beyond what he's done already. I haven't sent him any money and have no relationship or agreement with him; he owes me nothing. The chaos will resolve itself and the world will go on.

In this case there's nothing to prevent someone else from forming the code and moving forward with it, until they also tire of the abuse this poor fellow experienced.
NoCode Machine Learning
Daycare isn't an appropriate analogue to your example though. A shift in culture that allows you to bring your children to work would be and would be absolutely sensible for white collar and several blue collar jobs.
Exactly! Everyone should demand a full cash refund for all that they paid for the maintenance of that piece of software.
> What does raising children have to do with society? Decision of having and raising a child is a fundamentally personal, not societal decision.

Of course it isn't. Every society needs an up and coming younger generation as the older generation stops working. That is absolutely a problem on a societal level.

Cute, but here's the bottom line. Some certifications show you really do have a clue. Some don't. But, all of them open HR doors, which would be otherwise closed.
There’s another rush hour between 9 and 11 pm.

Another way to confirm this is to compare with the morning rush hour. Way more crowded as most people start work at around the same time (most companies have a starting time of 9 or 10 am).
There's a big tendency to ignore the price at which career success is sold. You have to give up more fulfilling and creative work, perhaps, or spend long hours in front of a screen on difficult yet boring tasks, or put in years and years of all-encompassing work in various qualification gauntlets. Not having paid the price for fame in academic STEM, I have no jealousy of the success these people have found - they have their fame, I have my free time.

I think a big issue in the study of gender differences in work is that it is much easier to quantify the salary earned than the price one must pay in order to be successful in the field. About the best you can do is compare sub-populations that have paid roughly the same price - eg, urban childless single college-educated adults. At that point, studies generally show an insignificant gender difference in wages and success.

So, why is there a gendered component to participation in high-pay/high-sacrifice fields? I've not seen any sort of hard data, so I'd have to speculate. If you made me single out a candidate for investigation, I'd have to look into the how the heterosexual dating market will asymmetrically treat career success. People respond to incentives, and dating success is one hell of an incentive.
Also, mothers didn't have to keep an eye on the kids all the time past infancy. It was fairly common to leave them on their own with other kids to play, only ensuring they're fed on time.

And once they reached a sufficient age (10 or 12), children usually helped the family with their craft.

Before the industrial revolution, what's considered norm today was the norm only for aristocrats.
