Different groups have different issues that must be addressed. There are few 'one size fits all' solutions. People do want to be treated as peers and equals, but unfortunately there are intrinsic issues that inhibit that.

For example, a person with a black sounding name will, on average, will face more difficulty in getting a job compared to a person with a white sounding name, all else equal. It is not particularly productive to say 'if we treated everyone the same they wouldn't have this issue'.

For things like formatting/finding bugs, shouldn't those be command line tools anyway, so they can be built into your CI?

Even if not, there's no reason not to allow someone to edit text however they like, and then just load their changes into Intellij or whatever to double-check formatting and use its static analysis tools before raising a pull request.

> I don't see why one would pass up JetBrains IDEs considering they have a passable Vim mode and for the languages they have plugins and/or product lines for they're just better.

I use Intellij at work for Java stuff, and I could easily see why someone would want to use something less resource intensive (especially for less IDE-dependent languages than Java). I regularly run into issue where I get pauses while I type.
That is not the only thing for which they interact, see e.g. systemd.network(5). The systemd-resolved.service itself reads the systemd.network config files. This is what people mean by tightly coupled. But more importantly, you're telling me what it does currently, not what it's going to do tomorrow.

Suppose it did currently only interact through a stable D-Bus interface. What stops them from adding some new interaction and supplementing or replacing the existing one with it? You're left with a guarantee that systemd-resolved will continue to support the old API that systemd-networkd may stop using.
I think these graphs mistakenly compare inflation adjusted wages to unadjusted house price. It also fails to account for increases in house size.

Inflation adjusted cost per square foot is $126 in 1978 and $146 in 2020, about a 16% increase. Inflation adjusted wages over the same years went from 24.5K in '78 to 36K in '19, for about a 46% increase.

According to these stats, housing is actually more affordable for the same home size.

It's good to be skeptical, but I'm not sure that means you should assume everyone in academia is conning their peers like Wansink did.
Team cooperation is not something a cover letter can tell you. "Culture fit" is nothing but an incredibly transparent and convienient post-hoc justification for when you know you're only excluding someone for not looking or behaving enough like you but have to find some way to word it that doesn't make you sound bad.
Over the course of my life, I feel like I've read the "Voyager is going to go out of communication range/Voyager has gone out of communication range/Wait, no, they figured something out" series of stories several times.

You live in the middle of nowhere and appear on Zoom calls. The rest of your team meets with company leaders in person. Who do you think has the best relationship with the leadership? Not saying it’s impossible to do this remotely but when others don’t it becomes very very hard. Applies to everything, not just sales. Full remote works until someone breaks the chain, then everyone working remotely is at a disadvantage.

Well, who pays tax is kind-of a complicated question. VAT is collected at many points along the supply chain (and sales tax typically at just one). But who pays economically depends on a bunch of elasticities: if the consumers will buy X at any price, then the tax lands on them, whereas if they will only pay at maximum Y (otherwise they go without) then the tax lands on the seller. (But in reality, nothing is at either endpoint.)
Does anyone else see the irony here? The Dark engineers switched their core language with another because the open source ecosystem wasn't broad enough to cover their needs. And yet they're asking their customers to make the same bet on their proprietary language and platform. I mean just look at this FAQ[1]. There isn't a clear path out of vendor-lock in, a terms of service, or even a guarantee that the platform won't disappear without notice.

I have been using F# for 5 years and have never once needed to use “null” anywhere in my code - if I were to interact with a C# library I think null-handling is an acceptable price to pay for the interop (similar to weirdness with OCaml/Haskell and C FFI). F# makes that particular separation of concerns very clean and easy to handle. Idiomatic F# is safe against null reference exceptions.

I think you’re needling a small wart in F# due to the .NET requirement, it’s hardly enough to say that F#’s type system is overall bad.

We use Rider (enterprise license) to develop our F# services. Over the past year, the experience kept improving, small tweaks kept coming, and bugs were sorted out.
At the moment, some of our larger shared type definition files are a slow to edit (seems Rider/.net is trying like crazy to look over all the symbols before I've even finished typing), but overall, I had a very good experience with it.

Not aware of any linters out there. Rider might have built in rules to enforce it, but that wouldn't hook into your CI/CD.
I coded in IDEs for almost a decade up to that decision.

I could feel my "clarity" fall year for year.. I have never looked back.

I stand by my original statement, that for me, IDEs hinder my thought.

Also, I have seen other coders I really consider high-end having the same considerations (it might just be a bias, where I just notice those, who agree with me)..

Have you ever seen the "competitions" where they give a really really good photographer (or videographer) a 50$ toy and lets them compete against an amateur with a really high end setup..

Only amateurs blame their tools (above a certain minimum threshold)..
I didn't mean to say that React is bad, quite the opposite! It's a wonderful library and for good reason. But I've never used the OOP parts of it, because I like structuring my applications without a framework, customized to the domain I'm working on. Several mutable classes as a basic structure of an application is a no-go for me. Luckily, you could, can (and in my opinion should) use React without those parts, and the library works just fine as a VDOM engine.

Again, Facebook did an incredible job. I'm just commenting on why some people (not me) feel like React is "just another framework oh my god when does this stop". If they released the VDOM engine separately and the framework parts after that, people would understand that you can build your application in a way where you can pop out React and replace it with any other VDOM implementation. Most people don't seem to know this, and that's why they insist on calling it a framework.

Also, JSX caused so much confusion among people who were used to template engines. There was a huge opposition to React as a whole simply because JSX looked weird when people were explicitly taught to never mix JS with HTML. React didn't need JSX to work. For my first applications I didn't use it because I didn't want an extra compilation step, and the build/packaging tools back then were quite painful when compared to those of today. I could use React perfectly fine and it did its job in pure JS. JSX to me was just syntactic sugar, but it became a huge red herring to people who were introduced to React.

>> The fuel that took fire from the spark of insight in William Jones's astonishing paragraph had been gathered over generations, since about 1500, by scattered minds in Europe and South Asia.

"William Jones's astonishing paragraph" must be the following:

The Sanscrit language, whatever be its antiquity, is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity, both in the roots of verbs and the forms of grammar, than could possibly have been produced by accident; so strong indeed, that no philologer could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source, which, perhaps, no longer exists; there is a similar reason, though not quite so forcible, for supposing that both the Gothic and the Celtic, though blended with a very different idiom, had the same origin with the Sanscrit; and the old Persian might be added to the same family.

I'm afraid that comes across in an unfortunate way. So women can't fit that culture by trying their best to be part of it by sounding like white men, but only by being part of it - by being white men? I'm not going to go off the rails here, I understand you're trying to offer constructive advice and this conclusion wasn't what you intended.

Nevertheless I think it's clear the onus needs to be on employers to try to identify and remediate biases in their hiring practices.

Hi!

I bought your game a couple days ago :)

- The music is excellent.
- There are some really nice visual touches (screen shake, the expand/fade enemy death)
- Switching apps on android restarts the game! Critical blocking issue right there.
- I did get one random crash (on Android), which meant a restart
- The intro story could be trimmed by about half :)
- Move the green "Play" button to the top of the menu.
- Maybe rename "How to Play" to "Instructions", so only one menu item has the word "Play in it"
- The inventory system sucks! Nothing worse than having 6 slots, 2 of which are filled with "+1[2] mitts". Please implement auto-management for inventory.
- Most enemy and item names are awesome.
- A few item names are confusing. I don't know what "steelcaps are". They look like boots. Are they boots?
- Apparently I can equip mitts or boots, but not both? Does that make sense?
- The icon has a laser sword. Should I start with a laser sword? Maybe a laser shiv?
- How many dungeon floors are there? Please add that to the instructions.
- This might be crazy for a roguelike, but please consider difficulty levels. It would be nice for a kid to be able to play through the game without frustration.
Are we seriously comparing people who aren’t upset about some bad software policy to people who want to colonize Africa or deny the Holocaust?
I think you nailed it that we don't put stresses on our feet and ankles and so those particular muscles don't grow. This of course leads to challenges in running, etc.

I bought these balloon pods for standing on [1]. They create an unstable surface which your feet and ankle muscles must overcome. Its incredibly challenging. Adding in exercises like squats or med ball twists really make you work. You can feel the muscles in your feet and ankles working!

Some schools do prioritize touch typing. At the middle and high school I went to in the US, there were several mandatory computing courses to teach some basic computing skills. One of the main things they worked on was touch typing, which did work out to a good chunk of your grade. They had some typing tutor software which would report results to the teacher's database. For tests, they would drape a cloth over your hands and keyboard. Intentionally pulling the towel away was considered academic dishonesty and followed the same kind of rules as cheating.

The school I went to did have an elementary school associated with it. From what I understand they also made a point to teach typing proficiency as a focus on computer classes.

Some schools do teach it, but I do agree it appears it is sometimes overlooked. I have many, many peers who despite having a job behind a keyboard every day have poor typing form, cannot touch type, and have some incredibly low WPM. Even some basic training on typing could potentially make them much faster typists. But its just not a priority in their lives.

A couple of guesses here

a. Ant group is partially owned by a large group of elite foreign investors https://www.wsj.com/articles/ant-ipo-promises-8-billion-gain..., who will gain hugely from this IPO. The Chinese government doesn't want such a huge financial entity owned by foreign owners (even though they have claimed they are allowing more foreign entries in financial sectors). Also, China is suffering from dollar shortage/flight (foreign manufacturing moving out, foreign retailers moving in), and this IPO could exacerbate it

b. Jack Ma recently criticized the Chinese banks https://www.pymnts.com/news/ipo/2020/jack-ma-summoned-for-qu.... This is a big no no right now, especially since Xi's dictatorship is wobbly. Also this is what happens when you upset the world's largest mafia - Chinese government and Chinese state owned companies. Just look at what happened to Australia https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-03/china-broadens-trade-..., South Korea https://www.vox.com/latest-news/2017/3/3/14795636/china-sout... US https://www.defensenews.com/global/asia-pacific/2020/10/26/c... and Japan https://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/23/business/global/23rare.ht...

c. There is probably a lot of financial misreporting within Ant Group, as it is pretty commonplace for Chinese public companies - check out recently delisted Chinese companies in US stock exchanges. If this IPO is allowed to expand, that's game over for shanghai stock exchange sooner than later.

(if you ask me, why would anyone invest in any mafia pyramid scheme with no guarantee you'll get your money out...)

The reason for benchmark performance isn't related to the JIT only but rather of .NET being more "pragmatic" with memory slices(usable with stack allocs,mmap), value types and in/out/ref passing. These little things together makes the .NET code run with far less GC pressure and more cache locality like C++ code without making the code non-idiomatic (Yes, A JVM system can be written like QuestDB to achieve similar perf but it won't be idiomatic Java code).

Then the Kestrel server + new ASP.NET Core runtimes takes advantage of it (for example the new JSON parsing API's are built to directly consume byte memory w/o sacrificing too much extensibility).
b) the cookies are for marketing, which means you must be able to decline without consequences

- not women, but mothers get significantly less payed on average than the rest of people, in fact, young women are paid more than young men.

- women on average prefer to work with people and men - with things. Working with things scales well (like IT), working with people - doesnt scale well (nurse, teacher, doctor).
can you expand on this a bit? I usually try to go for the joel hiring criteria, "smart, gets stuff done". from this perspective, it's kind of hard for me to see what valuable information could be in a cover letter that shouldn't already be in the resume itself. I just want to see if they've done anything similar already and how it turned out.
In your opinion, it's a good thing overall for ebay to ban a legitimate business over completely baseless copyright infringement claims because there might be a knock on effect causing some counterfeit manufacturers to get banned as well? What?

No, this is a terrible precedent. Ebay needs to explain what's going on here.
Honestly in some groups your comments would be taken as evidence of "white fragility" and that you are not on "the right side of the issues".

If that is the only problem, wouldn't laser printers have fixed it? There's a ton of other things that don't work, e.g. paper jams. With the multi-function devices this gets even worse.

Not using a device all the time should be a use-case that is accounted for. Imagine having to service a car every time it stands still for a few weeks, nobody living in a city would have a car.

Of course, there's a lot of complexity and moving parts involved, but it just seems like a problem that could have been fixed by now. The rise of home office makes it very annoying, before that most people I know would just print everything at the office where someone manages the printer, also some places have a 7/11 around the corner with one of those big printers, so that really helps.

It would be nice if someone could make a "fair printer" at a reasonable premium, with good (open source) drivers, cartridges for different use-cases, replaceable and easy to clean parts and thinking of the biggest problems, e.g., an easy way to understand and fix paper jams. I doubt the way financing or corporations work we'll see that happening.

I agree that's it's far from perfect. Those companies with very narrow cultures should be more open to diversity and I strongly believe they would benefit from it.

That being said, as a woman, that's a company I'd skip instead of lying my way in and then hating my daily life.

I've worked in a company with such a culture before and hated my years there. I thought my presence would change things - it didn't.

> Price controls will only result in low or no supply.

This gets trotted out again and again even though it doesn't apply to the kind of price gouging we saw at the beginning of the pandemic. It wasn't 3M raising prices, it was third parties buying up supply in bulk and then reselling at a higher price. This has no impact on supply, because the manufacturer is not seeing any increase in profit margin - it's all going to parasitic rent seekers in the middle.
That's true, but in the context of a popup this means you must be able to deny or dismiss it without consequences.
