In fact, that's not what it says. It says the kids of the 60's and 70's who are already adults are already causing problems today because of attitudes and habits they picked up back then.

This is not an old argument and a careful reading of the text will show that he starts with the mass movement of children to high school. When Americans lived on farms, we didn't have that. (We had one room schools and my grandmother taught in one as her first job.)

The author's premise is that high school changed everything and created a "high school mentality" that's still very much with us -- in people who are now 50 and certainly in people younger than that. He gives numerous examples of how acceptance of this fact is already the norm in popular culture.

So he's not bemoaning the kids of today, but the adults of today, and explaining one way we might have got there.
On the flip side, if you know how to not do that it's a competitive advantage.
I understand what you're saying, but I don't see why it should be an excuse. After all, xenophobia and racism are natural human behaviours as well, (and not just human behaviour) but they shouldn't be tolerated, and we shouldn't promote policies that encourage them.
I've seen the = instead of == in the wild with disastrous results: the assignment was on an ORM backed object, e.g.

// accidentally mutates all names to Sam and persists to the DB
myList.filter { myDomainObj.name = 'Sam' }

But it makes me wonder why our programming languages would use characters which can often lead to this type of error.
Why People Are Scared of Marie Kondo (Kondopilled, Part 1)
Because at the end of the day "equal skills" doesn't exist. You can't just measure a developer's overall skill with a single power level number like in some anime. Different people are good/bad at different things and two engineers at the same level/experience can contribute to the team in completely different ways.

That's why compensation exists in bands, which is aimed to reflect that skill levels exist in bands (not all L4s are equal, etc).
The point is to create a range in which both current and prospective employees can refer to. Obviously it's not perfect as that would require all information which would be a privacy concern.

Are you arguing knowing nothing is better than knowing something?
Another one down the drain :'(

Many major new features have been introduced in 8.0 point releases. Some examples:

* 8.0.12 added INSTANT algorithm for adding new columns to a table

* 8.0.13 added DEFAULT expressions (column default values may now be any arbitrary expression, not just a constant)

* 8.0.16 added CHECK constraints

* 8.0.17 added the CLONE plugin for rapid physical copying of a db

* 8.0.23 added INVISIBLE columns (excluded from SELECT *)

These are just a handful among many others... basically MySQL 8 does not follow SemVer at all, nor does it claim to. (Although personally as a tool developer in the mysql ecosystem, I selfishly wish they did!)
I am also of the opinion that `and` is more readable than `&&` (and isn't as easy to typo in a catastrophic way) - although my main point was about the weaker type system.
This is a sexist comment and could be career-ending if made by someone of the opposite sex. For a demonstration why:

Where can I read more about the custom things FB added to MySQL 5.6? Their work on replication and the DDL work seems fascinating. Are there scholarly papers, white-papers, blogs?

Are they storing the friend graph in MySQL?
Ahhh, so it was a problem with lazy evaluation (and the lack thereof when using &), and not type coercion, like I initially thought.
I thought about it but 1. I wasn't the person being discriminated against and 2. The friend wasn't going to report it for the reason I noted. I understood / respected that choice.

It still burns me up a little but at that point I 100% understood his call and honestly not sure I would want to go all the way down the road fighting it too...
it is a lot better. Quite a differemt font, even. I never bother to change the original in latex for my own things, but whenever I have a long paper that I really wat to read typeset in CM i make sure to print it.
I guess I'm cynical, but to me looks like Oracle renewed interest in MySQL after PostgreSQL gained momentum. MySQL is not really a competitor to Oracle but PostgreSQL overlaps with both of them.
Taking notes helps a lot with recall, IME. Otherwise I'm the same way.
Quantum computers don't exist; qubits as they exist today are simply sources of entropy. So every time someone does a big fanfare announcement of this many qubit "computer" I chuckle a bit; ok, you got a bigger "random number generator", cool cool cool :)

If you downvote, please also include a link to something that proves a quantum computer exists (outside of theoretical papers); I'm genuinely interested in being proven wrong.
TFA excludes it, but from page 12 of the filing [0] there's an example of someone with measurably worse performance getting promoted ahead of a female colleague:

"... In another example, a female employee who worked at Blizzard Entertainment was assigned to a lower level, denied equal pay, and passed over for a promotion despite multiple factors that suggested she earned it: (1) highly rated performance reviews; (2) she generated significantly more revenue in her marketing campaigns than her male counterpart; and (3) she ran almost twice as many campaigns as her male counterpart."

It's not the environment. It's people's behavior. I hate to pull the old card, but lots of boring social qualities are ever so hard to find today: punctuality, thoroughness, courtesy, and in general just "giving a damn." Anyone who lived before about 1980 will know what I'm talking about.

The problem is so pervasive that it isn't even noticeable. And now grown adults with high school level mentality and professional development having children who are also adults and were, of course, raised with the same bad ideas.

Have you never heard the complaint that there's no service anymore? No loyalty anymore? And no good communication anymore? It's something old people say and it's true.
If you consider a linter part of a programming language, most, when properly configured, do not permit this. It's just the syntax that does; professionals do not rely on syntax validity alone but employ linting, code review, static analysis, and integrations tests on top.

The gradient of professionalism
in our industry is very wide, and the slope is quite shallow.

To your point, however, many languages (such as Go, developed and used by Google, the organization under discussion) have designed their syntax now to completely avoid this type of error even being possible.
Edit: Someone has explained the issue below

I don't understand how that broke anything?

The C++ codegen for && and & is the same:

bool good(bool a, bool b) { return a && b; }

good(bool, bool):
mov eax, edi
and eax, esi
ret

bool bad(bool a, bool b) { return a & b; }

bad(bool, bool):
mov eax, edi
and eax, esi
ret

It's also bizarre to see claims that unit tests are so new. I can't say I really know about other communities, but Perl at least was doing a lot of unit testing using the Test Anything Protocol (TAP) back in 1987.

We do indeed have 'additional info' planned.

When that's implemented, the customer will be able to enter any kind of detail you'd like them to (like their username, MAC address, or something else) and we'd pass that info on to you when they successfully check out.

With that, you can then automatically perform actions and deliver the digital product/file.

That's not what happened in practice as health care improved. The retirement age has been increasing together with life expectancy.

The market balances itself so that the cost of living adjusts so that an average person would need to work until retirement age. That's why the cost of living is significantly higher in the bay area.

For better and worse, this capitalistic dynamic is what makes the US so productive as a country.

Meh. It is an undeniable direct Warhammer 40K plagiarism: before coming up with their own StarCraft universe, Blizzard tried and failed to secure rights for Warhammer 40K setting. So it is easy to see the source of their 'inspiration'.

They had many bright moments, but this one is not one they came up with themselves.
It’s almost as if there needs to be some form of tax on carbon emissions to help pay for mitigation of the effects of climate change.
Yup that's exactly right. Alerts are only sent out when original content is released.

Mentioned this in the earlier reply but you'll soon be able to do conditional alerts as well.

Some Examples:

- "Notify me when Elon talks about battery prices"

- "Notify me when Stéphane Bancel (Moderna CEO) talks about Delta Variant"

- "Notify me when Gladwell releases a new a book." :)

"MySQL, an open source database developed by Oracle" - Gawd! Were most devs at FB born after the acquisition?
> For things that shouldn't happen in the first place, just a few cases speak a lot.

what does this mean? assuming the allegations are true, then yes, these things shouldn't have happened, you won't find anyone who disagrees with that. but what does "just a few cases speak a lot" mean? are we supposed to infer that because these cases are being prosecuted, that there's much more misogynistic evil happening beneath the surface at Activision Blizzard, enough to spread to their entire corporate culture at some deep, primal level? that's quite the supposition! "some bad people, especially those with power over others, did some bad things" is much easier to believe.
Is the paranoia thing schizophrenia? I have similar issue where around 27 no longer could smoke without getting super paranoid. Typically I have found if I am not living right in some way weed will bring the fear of it right out. However are you saying anything along the lines that this paranoia thing is related to schizo?
I'll add that alcoholism's social and psychological effects can be extreme. Some cultures have experienced it more than others.

A close relative had that since ~30 years of age until death at ~80 years of age. During his twenties he abstained. Then it was social drinking, then it became more frequent, then he started becoming dysfunctional, not being able to perform in his professional life, all the while his mental state degraded, around 50 years of age you could still argue with him, around 60-70 there wasn't anyone to argue with anymore, there was only a craving left.

I don't think it's just the alcohol. I presume that it concealed a psychological problem. But, I can't help thinking that if it were some other drug the person in question would have had a higher life quality. Alcohol is very punishing in all ways.
The way you fix organizational/process failures is not by firing the person in charge of them every time they fail to catch something.

How many breaking bugs have _NOT_ shipped due to the current processes. Your approach suggests that there is some perfect process manager out there who will let no bugs like this ship (whilst not dropping any other business priorities mind you) that they just haven't hired yet into this position.

This isn't as big of a bug as people on HN want it to be. A few months from few people will remember, and even fewer will care.

> Like will this be useful for someone who is following thought leaders in MMA fighting, Pornstars, DIY Guns and Drugs?

We haven't quite been considering the latter folk for obvious reasons, but we have been pondering the general question of "which types of people should we index?"

I think this is an interesting question to consider.

One framework we've been using to try to answer this question is the old vitamins vs. painkillers line of thought. Where is the need for a product like this the greatest? Or "where is the consequence for missing out on a piece of content the highest?"

This line of thought leads us towards the finance folks, where a single piece of information/alpha from a thought/industry leader can lead to 100+x returns, and missing out on those returns can be financially painful.

But I'd love to hear others thoughts on this question.
> That's mostly an effect of what women study, and motherhood.

I secretly wanted to see the actual arguments based on numbers since I'm very aware that the global survey like this can fail to account for domestic contexts, but yeah, typical canned arguments.

I personally don't care who you are (except for your country in question), but if you feel unsafe about the discussion after all you'd rather not talk about it at all. In the other words, expect the criticism if you keep posting those typical canned arguments.
My understanding is that StarLink is aiming for 100M un-guaranteed in beta. So that's considerably below gigabit.

But I also know that most households with FTTH around here use considerably less than 50M.

So perhaps you meant that gigabit internet kills Starlink. FTTH has some advantages over Starlink. But Starlink also has advantages over FTTH. If you need more than 100M, Starlink is not in the game yet. But if you want some leverage with the local monopoly and have typical usage...

Or, if you snowbird (common case here) and want the same provider on the border of Canada and the border of Mexico...

If this doesn't qualify, what does?
> By that logic, almost no individual failure is a firing offense.

That's pretty close to how it should be. That's the core premise of the no-blame post-mortem culture that's great about some companies.

As long as you go through the port-mortem process, which includes doing your best to prevent this from happening again (which may include changing organizational processes, testing strategies, etc), then everyone can move on with their lives.

Firing happens when you have a history of performing below your level. Never for a single engineering failure.
> “It doesn’t appear to have undergone thermal metamorphism, which means it’s been sitting out there, past Mars, untouched, since before any of the planets were created meaning we have the rare opportunity to examine a piece of our primordial past.

It sounds like that's par for the course for this type of meteorite. So it's rare, but not unique: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonaceous_chondrite.

Interesting. I wonder if the sector influences that. I've never seen men hit on women coworkers at happy hours. I Actually had a woman coworker start talking about going to a strip club after one and taking a bunch of other men and women there and inviting me too. I have to say, that wasn't something I was expecting (I was only there a year at that point). I'm in finance IT. I haven't noticed it in the office either. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens on a small scale. I've had 2 women say... "stuff"... to me in the office before.
Another day, another situation where the best way forward was “we don’t comment on ongoing litigation”.

Less glib, this past year has taught me that a lot of companies are led by genuinely unintelligent people. The number of short sighted, self destructive, and downright childish behavior coming from the C suite of even some big companies has been nearly endless. The idea that Blizzard is led by someone so impulsive that he basically goaded the state into suing him is unsurprising.
> So, are you against pay transparency, or not?

Against. Not because of the ideal but because sufficient numbers of capable engineers I'd like to work with are simultaneously poor evaluators of whether others are capable. i.e. lack of pay transparency permits us both to turn the situation into a low stakes situation if we do not highly estimate each others' ability to evaluate others.

> You say you're capable of receiving and transmitting, but ultimately you aren't receiving the truth, only what is told to you - which may or may not be the same.

I am capable of having trusted relationships where I do not need third-party enforcement of truth. Just like I'd believe a friend who says she's going to the store without having to check her location on Google Maps, I am capable of believing my trusted co-workers when they express things like this as truth. I do not lie to them and I am capable of forming relationships where I believe they do not lie to me.
Did what exactly? Most the transmission grid at least is overhead lines in Denmark. In fact, it is said that putting more than 15% of transmissions lines underground would be irresponsible due to physical limitations of AC lines, which corrupts the transmission system.

I've got a smallish collection of old IBM ThinkPads I hold on to (most of them with the matching laptop bag). Models include: 701C, 380XD, 380Z, 600X, 770Z, T42P, T43P, X41t. Running Linux on all of them except the T42P, 380XD, and 380Z.

Oddly enough, my current 'laptop' is the Lenovo X1 Tablet, probably the least IBM-like ThinkPad ever (it's like a Microsoft Surface). I just really like the form factor, and unlike the surface, you can take it apart and replace the battery. With thunderbolt, I run an eGPU for light gaming and video editing.

There are different types of intelligence. I’m good at cooking but bad at math.

Wow. I worked on the upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1 (I think). We had fewer than 100 patches at the time. 1700 sounds like a nightmare. I apologize for any and all of the patches I wrote.
So the people doing the outting bought the data to peruse, which at this time is legal. The people selling the data also broke no laws. The data was originally obtained through 3rd party networks that apparently are also not breaking any laws.

Essentially, everything here has been legal. Is doxing illegal?

Even if these people had used a hacked data dump, did they do anything illegal?

Putting a pin in the app selling this data being morally/legally right/wrong, let's talk about people publicly putting their personal information on a site/app that is designed to use that data to connect you with another like minded person. Even if the app/site does not share that data, would it be legally wrong for the matched person to recognize and then do the outting? I get the desire to connect with someone might be very strong, but when you have this much to lose by being outted, you'd think the risk would be too great to actually follow through. Again, I'm not a millenial or newer, so all of thse types of apps/sites are just so different from how I think. <shrugs>
