> The worst thing is that the standards themselves tend to be written by 3rd party organisations with an interest in that domain, so they have a strong incentive to make the standard match with whatever they're doing.

Related anecdote: years ago I worked a semiconductor company, which was working with a competitor to standardize the sensor/camera component for the OpenMAX [1] multimedia framework (like GStreamer).

We wanted a unified component that output a finished image (because our hardware was capable for that), but the competitor wanted modular components that produced/consumed pieces transferred to memory (because their HW was more limited).

I think the final standard followed theirs, much to our chagrin.

It's an example of treating the symptoms. The company has a hiring pipeline biased toward white people so it tries to compensate by having a second pipeline biased toward non white people when the actual solution is to make one pipeline that works for everyone.

This reminds me of a VC/incubator who was offering a favorable equity loan hybrid where you get no strings funding with the additional benefit that you can buy your equity back at any time for 3x the original investment. It turns out that this met the needs of a lot of black and female founders even though diversity was not even an explicit goal. You could literally feel the HN commenters roll their eyes while they said "So this is just a terrible loan with high interest rates?" as if having access to business loans is completely natural like breathing air, when it's the exception for black people.
A killer use-case here might be interop with Delta Lake; you could allow data scientists to work with the data there (parquet in S3) in a local-like manner, using an API that might be preferable to Spark's!

Has anyone tried this, or know if it's possible?

I don't want to tread outside of HN policy, but in the spirit of a comment I saw Dang leave on a thread about wanting "surprising" comments on posts that tend to go in predictable directions, the sheer predictability of what happens on threads that even mention the Uyghur as a people makes me wonder if there's a good data visualization blog post somewhere here.

I would be interested in seeing someone explore what keywords seem to trigger the reaction, how fast it is, etc... HN has a pretty open API, so it feels like it wouldn't be too hard to make some interesting graphs on how the posts/comments evolve over time.

Heck, I'd be interested in seeing a visualization like that for HN posts in general, but PRC posts are the ones where it seems the most like there's an obvious, reproducible process happening that could be explored and experimented on.
You're missing the why Israel is "consistently dealing with external existential threats". It's because they are engaging in aggressive, illegal and amoral behavior that is causing others to retaliate. The espionage mentioned in this article is just one of many dirty tricks they are using to prop up their apartheid state.

Great thing about Bitcoin is you don't need to argue. Don't even tell people you're into it. Just buy a little every week if you agree with the philosophy behind it.
I was grumpy. Sometimes people are inexperienced and don't know how to make simple clean software and so end up with subtle bugs. I can understand that and dealing with it is part of life as an engineer. This was just laziness and there's no excuse for it.

Perhaps, presuming OP's assumption that women have an easier time to follow the rules and there are more women in education than men is correct, that school has a lot of rules and not enough freedom.

I have no real opinion on it, just that my memory of school was a really strict place compared to real life and work. There are plenty of plan B options, alternatives, ways to think outside the box in real life, but not in school. You could only use your brain on the task but not to get out of the task or complete it in a different way than your teacher had intended you to.

As if I had left a traumatic situation, I vividly remember enjoying a lot finally having time for myself after work the first few years after I dropped out of high school. I had to put real effort 8 hours a day, then nothing else was expected of me.

That stuff is so distributed and so heterogenous that I just don't think a successful attack of that sort is likely.

Edit: Maybe the most sophisticated attack of that sort was the one against the Iranian nuclear program, and while it was successful it and seems to have set back the program it was hardly a show stopper. It also required pretty specialized knowledge of the controllers used to operate the centrifuges (for enriching the fuel). If you consider the enormous variety of controllers and ways of doing things across different plants I just don't see how it would work to shut down a large fraction of even something like power generation.
I tried this a week or so ago, and it was indeed 100x or 1000x as fast as my webpack setup. Shocking, really. I couldn't get dynamic imports / code splitting working, which seemed to not be fully implemented yet. I also wasn't sure how to make polyfills happen.
Would you consider kindergarten teaching to require a specific gender? Or carpentry? If not, please explain how you are going to persuade a huge number of women who wanted to be kindergarten teachers to instead become carpenters, while also persuading an equal number of men to do the reverse.

You can't give people the language to recognize and identify a pattern, and
then forbid them from using that as a tool to reproduce it.

Can you imagine?

"You can talk about patterns as a means of description, but don't consciously wield them as a means of production. Also, do not make statements such as 'the architect used this pattern'. Rather say, 'the pattern spontaneously emerged in the work, facilitated by the architect's intuition'."

Haha, right.

We have a difference of opinion here. I lean away from bikeshedding in favor of finding more substantive issues. I'm also an old-timer and I'd call this a 3, on a scale from 1 (easily readable code) to 10 (a suitable IOCCC entry)
I wonder...

After doing something stupid at work, I once said, out loud, "AnimalMuppet, if brains were leather, you couldn't saddle a flea." And 30 seconds later I was over it and back to work. I didn't say that because I think I'm stupid. No, I was able to say it because I'm sure that I'm smart. The security of being sure made me able to say that.

I wonder if the females don't feel secure enough to say such things, or if they're just wired differently. (So that saying derogatory things about themselves, which they don't actually believe, is an alien concept. It sounds rather weird when I put it that way...)

When your "customers" or "boss" are people you love vs. a boss or corporation that is more prone to be an asshole than not, and the work of having kids has genetically encoded feel good chemicals while many find work a pure slog, it's not surprising if given the choice people would chose to be mothers vs. workers for a while.

> all everyone seems to talk about is how to pump prices.

To me the shark jumping moment was when Coinbase and many other "crypto banks" reworked their UI/UX around presenting your holdings as a "portfolio."

When I log into my bank I don't see my "portfolio of USD." I see my account. I'd see USD in my "portfolio" if I had a Forex account, but then I'd be trading currencies not banking them to use as currencies.

It's a pure admission that for the vast majority of its user base the sole purpose is just to play pump and dump games.

The only group I see routinely using cryptocurrencies as actual currencies are online black market users and sellers, and they do so for an obvious reason that outweighs the downsides. Many of them have moved to Monero and Zcoin too since those actually have decent privacy. (Not foolproof, but decent.)
Bingo. Nuclear is just ridiculously expensive compared to Wind/Solar. You could overbuild 2-3x and maybe even add batteries.

Big honking power plants of all flavors are just not economically viable. The SMR thing might work, but it'll have to do better than wind+solar+batteries which have enormous economies of scale.

RIP, only France did nuclear right :(
Like when you solve the arithmetic problem with algebra and the teacher says it's wrong because you didn't use the official method?

If you want nuclear to happen:

1) Disrupt the nuclear construction contracting process. Until fleet contractors like Bechtel et al are stopped from parasitizing the industry, it's going nowhete due to spiralling costs.

2) Lower the cost of reinforced concrete.

3) Close the fuel cycle.

3 is technically feasible, 2 isn't very sexy, but possible. 1 seems insurmountable.
NSA used to push pretty hard for moving to elliptic curve from RSA. There was some speculation they already knew better factoring methods that worked for breaking RSA.

But then the Dual_EC_DRBG backdoor came to light, so maybe they were just pushing elliptic curve to get their backdoors out there.

These days NSA pushes for post-quantum crypto, but it's not practical yet.
What you will realize years after you leave college is that in many cases, the way you do things is designed to get you to integrate a concept with your understanding of the domain. For instance, this is why many courses will ask you to write code to do something while disallowing the standard library. I see a lot of students complain "There's a library function that does exactly this but for some reason I can't use it!" But not using it is exactly the point.

Viewing college as a trade school is a mistake many of us make. No, you're almost certainly never going to be manually proving things by induction in the real world. But that doesn't make the exercise valueless.

Quick Guide: How to Write a Software Developer CV
Reuter’s Carrier Pigeons (1850) [pdf]
"On April 24th, 1850, Julius Reuter made a verbal agreement with a Herr Heinrich Geller – a brewer, baker
and pigeon-breeder – in Aachen, to supply him with forty well-trained birds ‘suitable for the establishment of a
pigeon carrying service between Aachen and Brussels’. The contract, finally committed to writing on July 26th
of the same year, laid down the most stringent conditions for maintaining absolute secrecy in the handling of
messages. Herr Geller seems to have shown a considerable measure of generosity to his enterprising but by no
means wealthy client. He first accommodated Reuter and his wife at his house in Aachen, and then acted as
their guarantor when they took rooms in a local hotel.

Every afternoon, once the Brussels Bourse had closed, or
the last messages had arrived by telegraph from Paris, Reuter’s agent in Brussels copied the latest stock prices
onto thin tissue paper and placed them in a small silken bag secured under the wing of one of Geller’s pigeons.

For safety, three different pigeons were normally despatched with the same message. Six or seven hours before
the daily mail train arrived, the pigeons were circling over their dovecot at Geller’s house in Aachen, where a
full team, consisting of Reuter and his wife, Geller and his thirteen-year-old son, Franz, caught them, extracted
their messages, copied out the prices by hand and distributed them to their local circle of subscribers. Where
the messages had to go further down the line, Reuter would run with them in person to the station telegraph
office.

This is the origin of modern high frequency trading."
Men are over represented at the top _and_ at the bottom.

So the average may be higher for girls, but that’s across all girls.

This is what the bell curves are and a result of men’s being very wide and girls’ being very narrow.

This is known as the variability hypothesis.

I don't know.

For complex desktop apps I don't really think Java was a viable option until the 1.3 release in 2000 (from memory). You also always had that problem that you couldn't guarantee what version of Java somebody would have installed so you'd have to bundle whatever JRE version you needed into the installer. Deployment was always a challenge.

In the browser Java never really got past 1.1 because Sun and Microsoft fell out so you had to install a separate plugin, which almost nobody did, or just live within the restrictions of AWT.

Couple this with the fact that, as you've pointed out, Java Web Start was so late to the party and it's easy to see why it didn't do better, either on the desktop or in the browser.

Until Android came along I really thought Java was a dying technology platform. Obviously since then its fortunes have significantly improved.
Sure, but the manner in which they critiqued the framing shows they didn't understand, potentially deliberately.

> My point is that, why when a message has nothing, gmail didn't say "warning: no DKIM signing".

Because 99.9% of users would say "What is a DKIM?"

Google has decided that regular uses don't need to know if DKIM and SPF passed or not, because they don't know what that is anyway. They use those things in their spam filtering. If a message got past their filters, regular users assume they are safe, and even if it had DKIM status on it, that wouldn't change.

Power users can bring up the second screen you showed if they want to be sure.

The Post-Keynesian Worldview in Five Principles

Would think twice before creating tools for others to do this exact thing
I'm always skeptical of books and stories like these. If the author wants to know why men don't share confidences, it's because they are confidences. Mystery solved.

But friendships between men tend to be vulnerable. The challenge in responding to criticisms of how we manage our friendships is that it involves talking about how we relate to women, which is fraught with taboos, and I don't think there is value in re-litigating those.

To invest in solving the future problem of isolation in old age, some years ago I joined a fraternal organization. The reason was while I have a lot of activities and activity friends now, it was an activity I could do independent of what my circumstances were. I have found that what most men want in their lives is peace and stability, so the thrills of gossip, politics, and witty brunch-banter don't figure into how we relate. Tropes about locker room talk are mostly myths, and what you really develop is high confidence from learning how different - and similar - men's experiences really are.

You could get the same kind of relationships by joining a hunt camp, a hockey team, or something else where there is a significant investment in a necessarily group activity, but what you really learn is to set boundaries for yourself, which guys test all the time, and it makes guys less emotionally needy to their wives and partners. Anyway, organizations are what you make them, so ymmv, but I can heartily recommend joining one as a hedge against the issues described in the article.
None of this explains why women are capable of following these rules and men are not. Are you saying men are biologically predisposed to not follow such simple rules?
Grades aren’t great at measuring real learning, but it’s the best we have.
Never bored, I went from basic electronics and microprocessor to troubleshoot mainframes at bit/op code level, replacing heads and aligning disks, to admin'ing new then Silicon Graphics, Sun Unix and VMS and large scale databases, analog and digital research instrumentation (NMR, among others, RF, cryo, even writing minor pulse sequences and HW to control laser excitation of molecules, among others), new then IP networks, IBM Server and NT and automating rollout of thousands clients, email (cc:Mail international) architectures, the early network security configs and proseltyzing, a hospital systems ATM (not money machine, a net arch) mesh network, and later specializing study in computer science/information systems and all that, Apache servers, and automating certain new aircraft systems. The magic was being generalist, understanding fundamental concepts. You cannot believe how upset some people, who locked into their narrow fields, became when I was able to move around so easily(? - it was a lot of work though, but it was always a hobby so never a job). Now retired and following/studying NMR technology applied to quantum computing to leverage my way into the algorithms, and ESP32. that is how the generalist wins in many ways, in my opinion; leveraging fundementals to do interesting things. But I do find that without the steady back pressure, I tend to wander a bit much into the wilds.

> Well T-shaped individuals have greatest chance of success.

Personally, I feel like T-shaped individuals are a chimera. I don't know anyone whom I'd considered T-shaped. Maybe it's just my location. I have noticed that even the highest placed engineers at my companies, and I'm talking world leaders in certain areas, often do not like to venture even a little bit outside of their specialization.

> For example I am software developer so for business people I am a specialist. But I am also a "full stack developer" where for my fellow developers I am a generalist. Then I mostly specialize in .NET and Angular.

This I can absolutely agree with. I would not call that a T-shaped person; rather, to me, the above is a generalist. I do think that this depends on a point of view. But T-shaped person signifies that a person has one deep specialization. I'd say that having a deep specialization goes against going wide.

From my observation, I've never seen a person who'd have both deep specialization and be comfortable with other technologies on the side.
