But browsers are by nature an engineering project several level divorced from hardware. There is no natural law demanding that they have to be democratic. Ultimately somebody has to foot the bill for their development time. C++ developers are not exactly a scarce commodity yet you don't see any major governments willing to fund browser development despite it being a critical piece of infrastructure. "Professional services" companies like IBM, Deloitte, Oracle, Accenture, get paid hundreds of millions to billions a year to build CRUD software for the public sector. Maybe it is time to redirect some of those funding to more useful purposes.
I blame the popularity service degrees. My great great grandparents were gilded age robber barons. Their children earned service degrees (doctors, lawyers) and split things up and sold them off. Their children earned service degrees and worked a little while living off their trusts. Their children earned service degrees and worked hard to run in place. I got an engineering degree and put every penny I could get my hands on into starting a manufacturing business. I will not have my children groomed to serve others who actually achieve.
“Daughters provoke parental strife” implies causality not present in TFA.

Also, as a survival of an abusive home, “daughters provoke...” sounds like blaming children for their parents dysfunction. Maybe that wasn’t the intent of the OP. However kids blaming themselves for their parents problems is a pathology many kids that went through these situations have to work to overcome. Any culpability belongs to the grown ups who couldn’t resolve their issues and put the kids first.
The thing is the powers that be can basically accuse you of anything anyway and plant whatever evidence they need to get it over the line. Your civil rights are an illusion sadly.
> I would argue that social media and media in general has disproportionately affected the minds of our daughters compared to our sons.

I would speculate it affects it in different ways. Social media puts young boys at risk of entering highly misogynistic spaces, the damage of which will be borne out on the bodies, careers, and wellbeing of women they meet later.

> In the Netherlands, by the time their first-born is 18, 20.12% of couples will have divorced if that child is a son, compared with 20.48% if she is a daughter

Ok, so 0.36% of couples divorce over having a girl, and it only happens when the girl reaches puberty. This could just be the cases where the dad sexually assaults the girl and the mom finds out and divorces him, the numbers are small enough for me to believe that is possible at least.

I agree. Also not to get too autobiographical, but life was much easier for me and my siblings after divorce than having to deal with constant fights. Divorce can be a positive outcome, especially if it can be done amicably.
And, probably more importantly, what kind of application was it and was it using a popular major framework (e.g., a web backend in Spring)?
I know many people 3 times older than I am with much more flexible minds. I also don't think there is a biological basis for inflexible minds.

> Earlier research has also shown that one of the most common things parents fight over is how much they should control their teenagers’ personal choices, such as how they dress, whom they date and where they work.

Sounds kinda like sexism is the wedge driven between the father, and his wife and daughter. One effective way to reduce bigotry is through compassionate exposure: knowing, and sympathizing with a member of a population different from yourself.

> In light of all this, it is intriguing to note that Dr Kabatek and Dr Ribar found one type of couple who seem immune to the daughter effect: those in which the father grew up with a sister.

I have friction with my stepchild. He doesn't want me to be a part of his life. Sometimes, I wish that he was older and we could try MDMA therapy to build a compassionate bond... he's not even in elementary school yet; that's a great way to get your child taken away. But I wonder if one-sided interpersonal problems like this can be addressed by giving the adult MDMA and the child a placebo...

I don't think there's anything wrong with thinking about the philosophical side of complexity theory, I do quite a lot and arguably fall into the second and fourth categories you've described. You are, of course, free to not be interested in metaphysical philosophy.

Woo merchants latch onto anything science-sounding that they can, as they're trying to steal authority by use of jargon, so I don't think that's unique to systems science - but their influence is of course extremely toxic as they both kill people and erode the authority of the subjects they steal from.

The owner could hold and hope for another fork to happen if it ever does and spend on the fork side.

If they were determined and willing to break the law they'll probably wait to do a crypto swap. Trading BTC for another crypto that is easier to hide behind in the future.

The usual arguments I get is none of this matters because the individual won't be able to spend the crypto into anything of value. Government will monitor the wallet and then monitor any assets, securities, etc the German man has.

Nobody knows what the future will look like though and what happens if any country comes out supporting crypto as their default day to day currency? German man moves, becomes citizen, denounces his German citizenship to not need to report anything and is able to exchange crypto for assets and securities.

No really, no. Note that the text says "first born", not "only child". That 0.36 percentage point difference is covering so many combinations it's effectively meaningless, and any opining about the "why" of what is essentially an error value is not just equally meaningless, but actively damaging, because it convinces you that there is something that needs explaining and can be taught to others, lending credence and validity to an incredible, invalid line of reasoning.

Huh, very interesting. Yes, I wonder where current materials engineering puts us for a maximum length cable. It might be usable to just fly a plane up to it at some point. This also brings to mind capturing an asteroid in LEO. (Surely super dangerous though.)

Maybe some of them could be used as a space station or slowly morphed into a spaceship with higher mass than we could ever launch? (like 1036 ganymed)
Thank you for replying to posts on this topic and for all your work on Spyder.

The following is simply an FYI, not a complaint - I am very thankful for all that the open source community does on projects like Spyder.

I've used Spyder for quick tasks for many years but only use it rarely now due to the string formatting in the console.

Just this morning I copied a lot of text from the supplementary data of a paper, pasted it into Spyder, processed it, and output it to a nice tab separated table in the console. In other IDEs, I can copy that output and put it straight into my file and it works perfectly but Spyder now replaces all the tabs with spaces. That might be OK if the output were all numbers but the output has descriptions and then numbers in different columns so I end up having to output to a file instead of the console to get something usable. A minor issue, but it negates the value of a lightweight IDE.

In the past I had a lot of issues with unicode in Spyder where the exact same code worked well in command line python and in other IDEs.

Because of these types of issues I find that I'm better off just going to my heavyweight IDE instead of Spyder even for simple tasks if I don't want to do them from the command line.
> Sounds kinda like sexism is the wedge driven between the father, and his wife and daughter.

That's a bit of a stretch. N of 1 but I (male) can easily see myself being more open about my daughters' personal choices than my wife. (Yes I read the article and saw the point about strife between fathers and daughters. If I had to guess my sense is that a dad's intent is not to be sexist, but to keep their daughters safe. Whether that's an effective approach is another question.)
I think people without sons may seriously underestimate the ingenuity, energy, and frequency with which boy toddlers attempt to kill, maim, or otherwise seriously injure themselves.

Anecdotal, but I have three sons and four daughters. In my experience boys are harder when they are younger (wild, causing mayhem and physical destruction in their wake, solving problems using fighting, etc.) but in their teenage years prefer to hang out quietly in their rooms. Girls on the other hand tend to be calmer in their younger years, but then in their teenage years become argumentative, moody, causing lots of emotional and psychological strife. It takes until they are in their early 20s for things to calm down. Though by then the damage has already been done. In an ideal world I'd like to raise girls when they are young and boys when they are older.

Perhaps "robed" was conflated with "robbed". Appalling nonetheless:

> With daughters, there’s less effort with physical harm and much more effort into helping their emotional well-being.

Suicide rates for 10-14 year olds are twice as high for boys than for girls, and for 15-24 year olds four times as high. I'm sure you are describing how parenting is done in general, but not spending as much time on the emotional well-being of boys doesn't seem to be a good strategy.

This is an interesting perspective.

People tend to associate single-parenthood as source of many problems based on statistics. But I wonder if those are simply correlation and not causation. i.e. people with certain traits are more prone to get divorced, and it could be those traits, and not divorce itself causes most other issues in their children. But it's easier to measure divorce rates than personality traits.
To answer seriously: it might not be most people's favorite language, but it's probably one that the most practicing programmers today and people who ever took a programming language in school any time in the last 30 years, can read; and therefore it's probably the best choice as the basis for a humor book.

Java has so little syntax—and yet what little syntax it has is C-ish—that it's mutually intelligible to everybody from programmers who only know C, to programmers who only know Haskell. (Maybe not to programmers who only ever learned 6502 assembler, but they have their own humor books published 40 years ago.)

(Is there a term for this in linguistics? A measure of the eigenvector of mutual intelligibility a language has to all other spoken/written languages?)
I promise you that Homebrew is operating "at scale." Considering that Google hires many kids straight out of school who have never built any significant real-world software at all, I think this hypothesis is highly unlikely.

I have nothing against using color in books. I think that, for example, Topology Illustrated by Saveliev got this right. The use of color is especially helpful in presenting objects (not text) when the density of information is high, e.g. in schematic images found in books on cell or molecular biology. Turning an otherwise excellent text into a shiny toy, on the other hand, only serves to damage its reputation in the eyes of a serious reader (but, sure, not necessarily a younger student who may be used to or even appreciative of shiny things).
Ask HN: Finding “Dusty Deck” Clients
I am a 61 year old software engineer and have worked in high tech for 30+ years.

I have generally preferred to work on UNIX, Linux and macOS.

I'd like to invest my remaining 10 (?) years or so helping people to maintain their "dusty decks" or at least, work themselves out of the jams that their accumulated technical debt is helping to create.

My question is this: What would you do to find clients that have "dusty decks," where a dusty deck is a program that someone wrote years ago, probably in some language that is out of favor, and that yet still serves an important function?

Most of my programming has been in C, C++, Perl, Common Lisp, shell, make, Python, a minor dalliance with Ruby, etc. 30+ years of GNU Emacs.

If you wanted to find clients with dusty deck headaches, where would you begin to look?

I'd like my prospects to know that I know how things go, how there are never enough hours in the day to do all that we would like to do, and how I'm never going to shame them for having dusty decks. No scoldings are coming. Instead, I'm going to show up, look at what's happening, propose a practical way forward, and once things are back on line, if they want to talk about other things, that's fine too.

Thoughts?

Namaste, John

The other findings are telling:
Fathers who had sisters growing up, were less likely to face divorce. Families with immigrant background were more likely to face divorce.
Pretty sure a cornerstone of gender studies is the idea that patriarchy is self-perpetuating - that is women learn and suffer from norms which they then push on other women. Is it not just as likely a wife was taught "the way women should dress and act to be "happy"" and tries to force it on her daughter despite opposition from the father?
