> Forcing oneself to interact for 30 minutes a day is not feasible.

There is this thing called self-discipline which many of us exercise. Last January I bought a guitar as a complete novice, and 30 minutes a day later I've written over a hundred songs and some of them are quite good.

Sometimes I didn't have 30 minutes a day. That meant an hour the next day, or a few hours over the weekend. It's all about what your goals are, not feasibility.
Sure, some instincts are good, like gagging at the sight of rotten food.

But also, our instincts tell us to eat sugar, be tribalistic, and (for men) to do stupid stuff to impress mates. We are designed to live in caves and chase herbivores. But for millennia we have been doing much more than what our instincts relegate us to.

And no, this is not a westerner with a superiority complex thing. See how relatively egalitarian the cultures of various settlers and natives have been throughout history.

Lastly, while I understand that for you and many others a childless life would be unfulfilling, please do not assume this to be even nearly universal. Moreover, not having or wanting your own (biological or not) children does not mean you can not help the next generation, through mentorship and teaching and community service.
My anecodotal info. on CREST, as someone who's been in the industry a while, and has a CREST cert.

The exams (like any) aren't perfect, but if you pass the CCT, you need to at least be pretty familiar with common pentest tooling and able to use them quickly and under pressure of time.

They're not perfect and some have said they could use some updating.

As to CREST being rolling in cash, you'd be surprised to find out that, as far as I can tell, that's not the case.

Are you suggesting a local community college only (Santa Rosa Junior College for me) or do remote courses work too? What class specifically should I be taking?

The first year curriculum at Cal Poly was Java at the time, and while cumbersome I did well enough, so I don't exactly need an intro to computer science course. I'd like to jump in to something for people with about a year's experience working with whatever languages are in demand right now. I know I need to learn to learn programming again and I'd be learning all my career if I make the switch down the road, but I'd still like to do it with a language that could get me some freelance work to start building a resume with.
Those comments would also be over the line.
I live in California.

An interesting thing we learned is that if we move out of the country for, say, 3 years, unless we set up our lives so we have no intention of remaining California residents, the state will continue to pursue us for income taxes even while overseas. Federal law has a different system which makes more sense -- a tax exemption while overseas.

Given that we expect to spend a substantial amount of time overseas in the future for personal reasons, I'm thinking we may need to move to a zero tax state in the US first, just to get out from under the sway of California.

I'm curious if anyone else on HN has experience with this.
I can't speak for women, and I'm just smart enough not to try.

But what I can say is that I don't hold all of the values that I did as a young man. I'm not excited about the same things, and today I find some of those ideas uncomfortably naive or even off-putting.

As I've engaged in more activities, as I've socialized with more people, I've encountered many more ideas and a lot of nuance. Nothing has simple answers and there are other solutions to problems besides code, or tools, or pills, or surgery.

And one of the consequences of this is that I'm not confident that if I show up to interview at a startup that I'm going to exhibit the degree of 'passion' they're looking for. I have plenty of passion. Too much, some will tell you. I just know beyond all doubt that your new iOS app is not going to save the world, and quite bluntly, that you have some unresolved issues that you need to work through if you so desperately need to believe how transformative your work is going to be. And I know that's not just STEM - all the 20-somethings who I've seen doing volunteer work - and bless you for showing up - feel exactly the same way. I'm gonna change the world. I have to change the world. Otherwise my life is empty and I am nothing.

It can be discomfiting to be around and I'm sure I telegraph it.

They say that young women socialize a little ahead of young men. Maybe they just get a whiff of my reality before all the rhetoric gets piled on so thick that's all they can see.
Based on the companies they have been acquiring, it certainly looks like they want to start their own manufacturing.

In addition Musk seems to be saying they will need an incredible ramp in battery production (to 2-3twh/year!!!) to make an important contribution to global warming. Given his style, I wouldn’t doubt he intends to have Tesla do the manufacturing: Q2 2019 earnings call:

Sonoma County, CA here. We've lost more people from our county than any other in the state between 2017-2018 [1], and it is only continuing.

From the few of these people I have spoken with - anecdotally:

- None left because of the fire risk, specifically. [though some obviously did - 2]

- Most left because of the cost of living: $600k avg home price.

- Some also left because of political and human environment: We have homeless encampments on our bike trails. We have fires caused by illegal cooking fires at these encampments. Petty crime is increasing, and state laws are only enabling this - people are sick of it.

Yeah. And the only things those other stories share with this one is "737". And, as you said, this incident could have happened to any airplane. So your bringing up the NG wing part issue is completely irrelevant here. It looks like someone just looking for a chance to rip Boeing.
We should remember that woman != mother. Not all women are straight/want children/have children.
No, the employer is not beside the point. The employer pays your salary. If you do less work, you get less salary. That isn't saying their work isn't valuable, it is saying it isn't valuable to the employer. The person who values work pays for it. In this case, it is the woman herself who values the work. She is literally choosing to pay herself, in the form of a well cared for child. In the same way that when I clean my home, I am choosing to compensate myself for the effort required to do so by having a clean home.

> but many others move away from family without giving much thought to what they're giving up.

I don't know how large of a population that really is. I've found many people move away because their family lives in a place that isn't approachable for them to live in. (e.g. Grew up in the bay area but not with well to do parents - just ones that barely got by. They aren't in careers that afford them $2m homes)

And many move away because they despise them and never wish their children to encounter their family.

I really do think many people give plenty of thought about moving away from family in one way or another. It's their family - they lived with them for something like 18 years. Everyone gives that thought.
> a) You make money on people building large architecture on it, and running out of credits and relying on laziness to move it somewhere else.

My interpretation of their marketing pages is that they pay out referral payments in cash (actually SWIFT, but...) once a signup has something charged to their credit cards. So they can't rely on unused credits. And they lose money on every referred signup that makes them less than $120 in profit.

This seems insane to me, because someone sending tens of thousands of emails to hundreds of people a year gets them less than half that in revenue.
Simple, there is a lifetime value for a customer. As long as the referral payout doesn't exceed the lifetime value, it should be profitable.

Although some undoubtedly pay more than the lifetime value of a customer as a "growth hack". This of course can't go on forever.
We gave a seedling to my parents in law over ten years ago, it's grown really well in a large pot out the front of their house in the rural outskirts of Sydney (and we didn't pay $100 for it either).
It's a personal attack. The poster is telling the maintainer to quit writing Rust, implying he can never get better and basically demeaning his whole effort.

Do you not see how that is (a) not related to the project and (b) rude in any context?

If you were, say, singing karaoke and someone came up to you and said "you're awful, never sing again, you're off-key, you don't know the words"... Is that not rude to you?
> You said that they were equally negatively impacted though and I brought up an example of where that is clearly not the case. Which is parental leave, done in a way as to discourage men from taking time off to take care of a newborn while also pressuring women to be the primary caregivers.

Read what I said more carefully. I didn't say all men are equally negatively impacted. I said the men who choose to take on the burden of childcare are equally negatively impacted.
That middleware is a different beast though, they are different engines providing different solutions for different problems - you can't have any single one of them be the solution to all problem and most of them are very complicated to be defined as a standard that is supposed to live for decades.

OpenGL, Vulkan and Direct3D are at a level where they enable you to write your own engine, but not at the level where they provide your the engine themselves. Microsoft tried it with Direct3D RM and it didn't work and Sun also tried it with Java3D as the official way to do 3D in Java but also didn't catch on (it caught on more than D3DRM but that is mainly because there was no other official way - however its popularity paled in comparison to OpenGL bindings that appeared soon after and nowadays it has been reimplemented and lives on top of these bindings).
While that's true, expecting bad maintainership to not have any effect and third parties not discussing about the quality of the software is also delusion. (And in practice, maintainers maintain, and I'm glad they do, because otherwise e.g. Linux distro would be complete absolute crap.)

What is also a in the realm of possibilities is that a project gets a bad reputation and for indirect effects or others, dies. That happened here. However, in the effects we saw here, while the people proposing patches and debating in a civil way about technical flaws (or at the very least widely perceived as such) were fine, the brigading was absolutely inexcusable, as well as the unproductive/nasty comments.
>My biggest takeaway from the article is that you'd have to be an absolute sucker to work in academia given how poorly you'll be treated.

Every now and then I get an overwhelming sense of guilt when I talk to/think about my friends who are engaged in academia or pursuing advanced degrees (I'm 28, for reference).

The crazy workloads they have, the insane restrictions on how they can do their jobs, and the cut-throat nature of the industry means that they're working so much harder than I am, and are either doing their part to advance the grand sum of human knowledge, or are training to literally save peoples lives...and I'm sitting here, a college drop out, getting paid _way_ more than they're making, in an industry where I will never have any fears about job security, playing with networking equipment and writing about it.
Out of curiosity, would you share those flaws you have found?
I'm rooting for them too. I have a bunch of servers running various workloads. They have been great and I love their product. I really hope they are around for the long term

Indeed. I am glad you point this out.

The level of entitlement in the discussion astonishes me. Someone has done a lot of work and offered it for free along with a license that lets people modify it and redistribute it and that is not enough. Instead of being grateful for it, people are demanding that the giver also make the changes that these people need and take on the burden of maintaining them.

To all those people:
Why should he? Do it yourself or pay someone to do it. It need not be any more complicated than that.
Ok, so prior to this offer, you had no jobs. And after this offer, you have no jobs. How have you been fucked over?
I'd call that a significant selling point for DO—not being willing to do business with literal Nazis.

You're borrowing money for their shares; you can earn interest on that.
>People could have forked and worked on the issues themselves, but that's asking too much.

Forking projects should be a last resort. This is the "Taking my ball and going home" approach, and now we're splitting development efforts, potentially ending up with very different code paths where improvements can't be merged from one to another, etc. It might be the right thing to do in this situation - but people wanting to avoid it want to avoid it for good reason. It's a big hammer and not the first one you want to pull out of your tool bag.

>Why do the hard work when you can just write a comment/tweet blaming someone else, right?

Except, as the article mentions, the author wasn't interested in detailed bug reports or PRs that had code that fixed it. This wasn't a case of people just being nasty - the maintainer wasn't interested in people doing work to fix it, either.

>Your comment is precisely what entitlement looks like.

This isn't someone asking for a feature request or minor bug to be resolved and whining when it didn't happen. This is a security vulnerability in a popular package where detailed reports are provided and the maintainer has a history of not accepting feedback, PRs, etc. on similar issues in the past.

Security vulnerabilities are a big deal: They have implications for not just the user or company that is making use of the software, but also potentially any end users. This is a web framework - a good portion of projects using it are going to be public facing. A good portion of those are going to be storing user accounts and information about the users. A security vulnerability puts all of those people at risk too.

I maintain that any project that you make publicly available you have a moral obligation to resolve security issues if it is at all within your power, and to disclaim them prominently if it isn't.

I discussed this with a coworker the other day - buying carbon offsets is a good way of pricing convenience vs urge to do good in the environment.

He drives to work every day, because taking the bus is a hassle/takes time, etc. What's the value to him of taking the bus? Helping the environment in some unspecified way. If he pays for carbon offsets for his driving, he can now say "hey, taking the bus saves me $x/month, I think that's (not) worth it".

"Finally, the big hope had been to motivate students to learn through interactivity and “gamification.” What any given software vendor might tout as a stimulating lesson, however, is often just a frustrating distraction for students. The case of edustar basketball shows that even highly engaged students may not be learning any­thing at all: in a randomized controlled trial, more than five hundred students were assigned either to an ordinary module teaching how to divide fractions or to a module teaching the same topic using a basketball game–like computer program. Students assigned to the basketball game spent about five minutes longer on the lesson, but performed significantly worse than students following the regular method. Ultimately, tech that boosted student engagement just took a longer time to teach them less."
> Read what I said more carefully. I didn't say all men are equally negatively impacted. I said the men who choose to take on the burden of childcare are equally negatively impacted.

And I think you need to reread my argument, which is specifically talking about those men who do take on the burden of childcare against the societal pressure to do otherwise. I think it would do you well to reread my argument from the top because it's starting to seem like you're arguing against something entirely different than what I'm saying.

It entirely depends what you're getting them for.

For certain kinds of contract work, and specific things within IT it's one of those 'checkmarks' that can really help, or be essential in some cases.

They don't necessarily make you better at this or that.

Should note: after a very long time in software, I'm still embarrassed at some 'little things' I should know, but don't.

In electrical work, they have apprenticeships and tests for certification. They have apprenticeships in carpentry as well.

I suggest the software world would be much better if we had such a thing. The basics of computer science, plus the basics of applied knowledge in one or more established languages where you learn how to write idiomatic code, basic architecture etc. - and - basic software communication, code reviews etc..

If you have a degree in CS you can skip the first part, but even so many of those spend years without knowing how to write SQL, do basic things on linux, write idiomatic code etc..

I wonder why Google doesn't publish an online course and say 'you need to know these basic things to be a pro dev'.

"Man Returns To Work After Vacation With Fresh, Reenergized Hatred For Job"

It may have also been the case, that before industrialization, metal smelting, and anything-faster-than-walking the world was inherently safe.

Daycare only become necessary once transportation, tools that could cut, and exposed toxins became abundant.

Imagine a world were all parents let their children roam the streets from dawn til dinner, child-right-of-way, and any harm befalling a child was universally met with public outcry against the adult responsible for creating unsafe conditions. (If you left a can of gas unlocked and Jimmy burns thing down, you are responsible, not Jimmy or Jimmys parents. Rational precautions etc.)

Kids would be barred from factories sure, highways and other necessarily dangerous places could be fenced off. Contrast this with our blame-the-parents instincts, now.

Can we collectively consider taking a step in that direction?

When you think or hear a particularly clever phrase, write it down. Whenever you feel the creative urge, stop all other things and write it down.

When writing, try to imagine and feel what it is you are talking about, and metaphors will naturally suggest themselves from a combination of embodiment of feeling and resonance against the words you have already written. For each of the lines you noted above, can you feel how the author feels and thinks about the item being discussed?

Particularly potent writing uses this device, lingering on these interwoven metaphors to set a contextual feel that makes it easier for you to get the point they intend for you. In this example, the first three are interwoven metaphors all drawn from the schoolyard.

Structural sexism is not perpetuated by infants. I mean come on. Children wanting to nurse is not the big issue; children grow up, and do not need nursing when they become toddlers. So why are women still expected to be caretakers of toddlers, middle-schoolers, and tweens? Surely, there isn’t a physiological reason. There is clearly something larger going on.

In reality, men and women’s roles are arbitrary, and the sexist structures present today are not the result of children asking for it. You are overestimating the intrinsic qualities of human social and family interactions, which are not as set in stone as you claim. Even the concept of the nuclear family - with one possible nurse and mother figure - isn’t a universal construct of human societies.
