From the study itself made by the organisation "Women In Banking in Finance":

"Women in Banking and Finance (“WIBF” or “we”) are indebted to 44 women in financial and professional services, who gave their time for the qualitative interviews and the 35 women, also in financial and professional services, who took part in the roundtables. "

So apparently they simply asked 44 women about what they about men? This doesn't sound like a very rigorous method and the name Women In Banking in Finance doesn't sound like a very unbiased organisation either.

It's the same issue with the audio recording. The solution is it's in a loop, and those recordings are almost never released.

As for video, VHS quality is about 1Gb per hour. Meaning you can put 64 hours on an ordinary USB stick about the size of my thumbnail. Furthermore, video recording has nothing to do with flying the airplane, so there are no safety/certification issues. It doesn't even have to be in a crashproof box.

I know that airports now have video surveillance, but those cameras are pointed mostly at the tarmac for security purposes, not at the runways for flight ops.

GS is known for the “discount”: they pay less to all levels of employees than their peers.

Both of these companies pay somewhat low wages relative to jobs requiring equivalent expertise in tech. A common story I hear from technical managers in these places is their subordinates being hired away by tech for a significant premium over the managers compensation.
A/C is basically unheard off in western Europe. The temperature is above 78F all summer long with an average humidity of 72% and we don't have more SIDS than the USA.

78F is not even particularly warm. Just dress appropriately and you will be fine.
I wouldn’t call it performance, but control. The Java and .NET world focus on different things - the JVM has a very very advanced JIT compiler and due to the programmer not being able to specify all that much about certain aspects of code it has a better chance of optimizing it (similarly to how SQL queries can be made very fast precisely because they are at a high level of abstraction). The CLR provides more control at the expense of less optimization opportunity. This escape hatch is really useful for some programs, but not all of them would benefit from it.

That's your point, my point is the one of the comment.

And I guess the government didn't give the PC to everyone because "oh we need to stop our Bill Gates to run out of the country". But rather, their interest was to give equal opportunity to those in need.
Reminds me of "Smart" motorways in the UK - they're "Smart" in that you can drive on the hard shoulder when there are no accidents. When there are accidents, the hard shoulder is meant to close and the motorway returns to normal operation with a hard shoulder. What actually happens is you break down, there's no hard shoulder and a lorry slams into the back of you killing your entire family. The Highways agency has been referred to the crown prosecution service to consider charges of corporate manslaughter.
Try right clicking anywhere. Almost everything has it's own fancy right click menu design for no good reason. Personally I don't find it annoying, but it's just silly that such a large company can't just stick to one design.

There is nothing like one universal model of dating. Mating habits change more or less once per generation. And they look different for various societies, cultures, social classes, sexual preferences etc. Human beings are surprisingly flexible and adaptive in their mating habits.

So this change is normal and natural. Only grumpy old men long for good old times.

That's the "it takes will" part.

Organizations can and do take many decisions of which "the accounting folks" are not fans of, the accounting people can and do say such things about the costs, but they don't have a veto. Arguments about cost of mitigation are valid in general, but leaders and owners can choose the priorities, and the responsibility and blame for these choices is fully on them (for their will or lack of will), not on "the accounting folks" arguments.

Also, sometimes that accounting argument is entirely valid. For example, look at the recent case of First American Financial - https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/06/first-american-financial... - if the consequence of leaking the sensitive financial documents of millions of customers is just 500k, then it definitely is cheaper to just accept the hacks and pay the compensation, because investing in proper security would be much more expensive than that.
I always liked the flat-shaded look, the gameplay and world, but when I revisited it as an adult I just couldn't play it due to the frame rate. I'm so used to playing at 90-144fps that anything below 60 literally looks like a slideshow. And 20fps is just crazy. Can't wait to try it at a higher one!
I did specify that this is related to GUI approaches, not command-line tools. Thankfully the "churn" in the CLI is much lower, but not zero. Most users are happy about the the migration from the legacy CMD-based tooling to PowerShell, but the latest crop of tools are abandoning that and reverting back. E.g.: "dotnet", "bicep", "aks", "az", etc... are all going back to the UNIX-style parameters for consistency with Linux, even though PowerShell is a demonstrably superior shell, especially on Windows.

So even there, the unnecessary and counter-productive interface churn continues to the detriment of the users.
Great use for a 3D printer.
This, for sure. And you definitely don’t need to go to SF or Seattle, there’s plenty of jobs in cities like Chicago, Austin, Salt Lake City, Raleigh, Atlanta, etc. But there may be be much less options in rust belt towns and rural areas.
I'm an Android user in MA and I don't seem to have this app installed.
I got my Titan back in January after 5+ years of sitting on a cheap chair I got from OfficeMax. Having switched jobs during the pandemic and now working from home I needed something better. It wasn't a week after the new job that I started getting constant aches and pains in my neck and back. This went on for nearly three months until the new chair arrived. It took maybe a week of readjustment to get comfortable but once I did I wondered how I lived with the old one so long. No more neck or back pain, no more wrist pain as I can raise them to a straight position. A good chair is worth its weight in gold.
Java GC bad? It is the state of the art (though it has multiple ones, but G1 and ZGC are the best for different workloads), no other runtime has a better one, with V8 coming somewhat close.
People say this, and I certainly do move around a bit in it, but only when im in a meeting or something that doesnt involve hands on keyboard/mouse.

I still feel like I spent 4-6 hours in an upright chair position a day, and I find it very comfortable for that.

Re: tall people, agreed. I'm 6'4, have the medium size lift, and it can almost support me while standing.
"full network access" is a hugely important permission.

My cynical side believes that the reason for it not being as visible as other permissions is that platforms profit from the ad-driven app model, which itself heavily relies on an apps ability to access the internet.

That could also be why stock roms do not allow users to disable full network access on a per app basis. (...like, for example, the camera permission.)

Not the law. Google having root access on 2.5 billion android devices.

The law didn't allow Uber to greyball either. It did though.

This is a risk Google fully recognizes - it's why Google prevents f droid from updating apps one by one without user input. That's a privilege reserved exclusively for google play services.

I don't see an objective reason this is more or less clear than

sqrt(sqr(b) - 4 * a * c)

or

(sqrt (- (sqr b) (* 4 a c))

Honestly, by objective measures the traditional style is probably the worst. The Forth style makes it easy to see large stacks because you'll see long sequences of literals. The sexp style makes it easier to work with subexpressions. Both the Forth and sexp style don't require remembering PEMDAS. The sexp style is easier to parse, and the Forth style doesn't even need a parser.

The only thing going for the traditional style is that it is an ugly approximation of mathematical notation - but that notation itself loses most of its value in the uglifying.
Specify a max heap size and use g1. Java will use memory if it is available.
>[0] Not sure what those are. Do random third-parties "augment" system dialogs by drawing random stuff on top of them? I find that thought horrendous.

The common example would be Dell/Synaptics adding their own tabs to the old Mouse system dialog.

I think the idea was quite sensible. Keeping the configuration in one place while supporting whatever features the manufacturers might have added e.g. touch pad gestures.

The only reason it's unfortunate is that the new dialogs don't support the old extension mechanism, forcing the old dialogs to be kept around.
This is ignorant of the reality of the personnel strategy in these institutions over the last decade, at least.

Strong technical teams in securities are almost entirely foreign. I was one of two Americans in a unit of fifty. Good communication in mathematics and software doesn’t require you to be from the USA.

They’ve also been building quantitative and technical teams in places like India for years to stand up core functions so that they can effectively deliver larger objectives, and moving responsibilities there for components of larger mandates.

This is only accelerating due to their inability or unwillingness to compete in the US for tech and quantitative talent.

To be fair, isn't the maritime market a bit like the aviation market, where a pack of 6 disposable AA batteries potted in a pack will cost you $43?

Fair point, a portable AC sets you back 150 dollars or so, so with outdoor proofing and all, you can build a passable cooling system for 250 dollars. That would be the proper engineering solution, but it wouldn't look cool, like the steering yoke in the recent Tesla.

Cool Ideas (2011)
I highly recommend using iMazing for your backups. If you have a Mac it's essentially just doing iTunes backups (which in a lot of ways are better than iCloud backups, especially when using the encrypted backup option). The interface is much better to manage, you can pull data from the backups right from the app, and you can do the backups wirelessly as well.
BTW, I can buy a dashcam for $100 that records HD in a loop and plugs into a cigarette lighter. I'm not buying there's any technical or cost issue with installing one in the cockpit. I will buy that the problems are all bureaucratic in nature.

Just make a secure bracket for it, and a 12V feed.
Because it's oppressive and stifling to be forced to culturally code-switch 100% of the time.

You try answering honestly anytime someone asks "How are you?" for a few weeks ("Not so well; I was fighting diarrhea last night, and got no sleep."). Or try following Middle Eastern norms on gender relations. Or raising your child Korean-style with after-school academic programs where your child spends more time in academics than Americans do awake.

Or if you want a simpler exercise, try mirroring Indian body language: nod sideways for yes. So how much cognitive load there is to a simple nonverbal communication change like that.

I'd advise trying to adopt African American communication mannerisms, but you'd be steamrolled for cultural appropriation (which is a very American concept).

As a footnote: Yelling is a normal, natural way to express excitement, anger, urgency, and a whole slew of other things. It's like forcing a dog to never bark. I understand how central not yelling is to some cultures (white/Western, Japanese, and a few others), but I don't think it's healthy or natural.

Every windows update makes the strips a function from the control panel and ads something not quite as good to the settings app.

After the last update the settings app even has ads for 'bing rewards points' in it. Which appear to be impossible to remove.

I need to look harder at getting one of the commercial versions of windows that only gets security updates, but no feature updates, because I've come to hate and fear upgrades.
> Every time your phone sees another phone, they get one of your tickets and you get one of theirs.

This is exactly how the German app works. It broadcasts anonymous Bluetooth beacons, and logs whatever beacons it saw.

If you are infected, your app sends to the server "I saw these beacons then found out I'm infected", and the server updates its live infection list.

There are some useful protocol extensions supported but some other important ones are missing (e.g. CONDSTORE).

> I'm sure there is a corresponding command to cycle through the tabs, but alt+tab is deep muscle memory, that it beats this command always.

It's ctrl+tab. And shift will reverse direction in both. It's nice and related.

And then there's MacOS, where cmd-tab doesn't cycle through windows, but through applications. Cmd-` cycles through windows of the same application. Because apparently, using multiple applications and multiple windows means you're a bad boy and need to be punished.
In the managerial class, sure. I doubt there's anyone alive who hasn't seen that first hand. However it's rather funny that the question of equality nowadays revolves around reshuffling desk chairs for the top 10%.

I know stadia is so poorly managed that it is not even a worthy competitor but the concept is sound and nVidia’s GeForce Now and Microsoft’s x cloud will eventually work well enough on Google Chrome that between that and Proton, Windows’ gaming advantage should become a little diminished over time?

I haven’t used android games on chrome os but things like candy crush should work just fine in chrome os by now?
> Men in profit and loss roles who were "mediocre" were often reshuffled into positions where performance was less visible.

That’s being moved aside; in banking, that’s pretty much the opposite of failing up.
It was a best guess with large error bars, not an exaggeration.

My assumption is that minor incidents would take 5-15 minutes (e.g. in your case of the toilet overflowing, perhaps a refund). If this dominated, you'd be looking at 30+ cases per day per agent.

More serious incidents would probably take a few days.

I kinda took a geometric mean, but I have no idea the threshold for incidents escalating to this team.
A CLA and copyright assignment was how Oracle were able to make (now Oracle) ZFS proprietary again in the first place. As you say though, OpenZFS and Oracle ZFS have diverged quite a bit, and most of the world is now based around the OpenZFS variant that acts as the upstream for Linux, FreeBSD and even Windows variants.
Go is ridiculously verbose and it is funny when Go advocates call Java that. The “C with GC” is sort of true about it in terms of no abstraction power resulting in one having to write many times more code with real redundancy.

Also, its performance for low-level situations is not-bad due to not having to use gc due to structs, but it has place to improve on more complex use-cases with lots of garbage generated.
Very often there's no choice. Either something under your control, or CPS comes and takes the kid away. Schools even do this to avoid dealing with abusive teachers and the like, or just to get rid of a specific child.

And that would be this CPS:

https://www.kansascity.com/news/special-reports/article23820...

The idea that justifies the power of CPS, that these sorts of "measures" are taken in the interest of the child, are totally ridiculous upon inspection. Not because there aren't any problems, but because these "solutions" are so much worse.

> Apple, et al. is more willing to break things than Windows is. They aren't as bound to legacy compatibility, so old UI elements can be shed easily.

macOS has actually been pretty good at seamlessly adding new features to old apps, with just a recompile against the latest SDK, like all the NSDocument-derived stuff (auto-save, auto-recover, iCloud etc.), Dark Mode, accessibility etc.
Sleeping/sitting is the only thing I can think of that you can't do while walking (that you could do in a car, i.e. not tivial exceptions like 'visit the Sydney Opera House while walking the Appalachian trail') - it's basically an autopilot thing anyway, only breathing bests it.
I would say that happened unintentionally, given how hard they tried for years to undermine the PC gaming market in favour of Xbox.
The updates/upgrades on Windows 10 were particularly bad- i was a late adopter and still ran into an unfixable black screen on startup. not good.
Although I don't necessarily disagree with your arguments, using security cameras on the tower would probably give you very little : the distances are huge.

The permissions problem reminded me of an issue where CI builds in Cygwin would intermittently fail, complaining about not being able to read a file. However, just rerunning the job would always succeed.

It turned out that although just opening the file for reading worked fine, access(path, R_OK) returned false. The build system only called access() to cover some special case, which didn't occur on the rerun (because of caching?).
