>the gap is reduced. But never eliminated!

The controlled salary (same job/qualifications) for Asians, have both men and women earning the same (women a tad higher even).
This article is more partisan than it is informative.

Because attention seeking...
I'm pretty sure the origin of the wage gap is just that relatively, income is a bigger status booster for men than it is for women. Women have other status boosters like being seen as a good parent, and if you look at those dimensions there's a gap in favor of women. People are simply, on average, optimizing for what benefits them most in society, and those things are different for men and women.

This explains observations like, when a field becomes more lucrative, it attracts more men. Or when a field becomes less lucrative, men abandon it and it ends up disproportionately female. So even if there's equal pay for the same job, men will earn more on average by being more likely to pursue the higher earning jobs.

Of course, we could say the fact that society values different things in men and women is sexism. That's true, but I'm not convinced it's sexism exclusively against women: a man who'd rather spend time with his kids is also negatively affected by society pushing him to be a breadwinner instead.

In the end, do wages matter more than general life satisfaction (not sure if either gender does better here), or other measures like life expectancy (which favors women)?

This kind of aside is what keeps me here, so I'll thank you for it :)

> Each flow chart ends with a "If nothing failed a test, but the symptom persists, replace the entire part/assembly."

I suppose this kind of does refute my point a little bit. Maybe the Tech Worker Handbook should have rules of thumb on when to quit – e.g. if the estimate for legal fees is going to be more than 1% of your salary, evaluate if makes more financial sense to quit your job and look for a new one instead.

Of course, circumstances differ wildly between individuals, so anything more than a rule of thumb is not possible.
> Apps that compile personal information from any source... without the user’s explicit consent

i wonder how far they will enforce this...

for example, will they tolerate apps that refuse to function without said consent?

what about an eula and just tapping "ok i read it"?

just my bias maybe, but "free to use" but requiring "user consent" seems like a nice avenue for getting around restriction and rules designed to protect them
Why did it cost so much money ?
Just goes to show you how small the top is in streaming. Based on this data, and assuming twitch payouts are about a quarter the average streamer's income, about 300-400 twitch streamers get paid more than the total comp of senior staff engineers where I work. Let's be generous and say that these people have no staff to pay (false assumption, e.g. Pestily has stated that he pays hundreds of thousands on salaries for editors, moderators, social media people, etc.). There are far more people than that at my one company making this kind of money, not to mention all the other big tech companies and startups.

That's just a long way of saying that if you wanna get rich, learn how to write code and talk to people. Way easier than becoming one of the top 3-400 streamers in the world.
I'm trying to assume good faith

What else?
And since the spacing between the feet is obviously irrelevant, that further implies that it's always possible to find 4 coplanar points on the surface arbitrarily close together. Or arbitrarily far apart.

“In an ideal world the scientist should find a method to prevent the most severe forms of autism but allow the milder forms to survive. After all, the really social people did not invent the first stone spear. It was probably invented by an Aspie who chipped away at rocks while the other people socialized around the campfire. Without autism traits we might still be living in caves.”

holy fuck, does every little mistake need a solemn 4000 word apology these days? that’s already not a world i want to live in, but then even the apology gets shit on and invalidated. people need to take everything much less seriously, especially shit that happens on the internet.

this whole thing should have been able to be a new PR with “sorry about the merge before, i screwed up and it won’t happen again” at the end, and everyone should have been fine with it and moved on.
My company has way more than 6,000 devs and each dev creates a git repo as part of our onboarding process and uploads it to our centralized git tool (you create and push a mostly empty test repo as part of the basic training). Just from that, I'd imagine my company has tens of thousands of git repos, although a lot of them probably only have a single file or some random throwaway code.

The number of git repos might look big but without knowing more, the content of most of those repos could be a complete nothingburger. Number of git repos is pretty meaningless metric, IMO.
That’s a fair comment. I suppose I was just documenting my own journey. Before this project I’d written a lot of C and Assembly (albeit not Arm64), but I’d never used make, or a cross-compiler (or git for that matter!). I wrote about what was new to me, originally with the aim of not forgetting, and then later with the aim of helping others who might be in a similar place. I’m sorry if it was irksome in places - I’m learning too :)
Then it's lucky the author has done well in their career despite it :)

As an aside, if the author is around, you could make 90% of the site's font rendering become immediate very easily. The biggest things would be self-hosting the FA and Google Fonts stuff, and moving the TypeKit include to an async JS approach.

After that, you could restrict the preloader progress bar to just the balloon portion.
> Not what I'm seeing on Facebook myself.. I'm seeing all types of humanity's viewpoints.

I think the Cambridge Analytica situation highlights part of this point. Facebook as a platform can and is used for targeting specific groups of people. You may not see the issues as she describes but in likelihood there are targeted groups. For example I am pretty sure you are not a 13 year old girl, but if you were you would more likely be exposed to content which is relevant to 13 year old girls, some of that driven by friends, or the communities you are in or by Facebook themselves.

Then some of that content is harmful, and some of it is being pushed for profit. Even going by the little evidence I have seen, Facebook has been told this by both internal and external sources.

So there is probably 2 major issues going on here, firstly did Zuckerburg lie to his shareholders about their attempt to clean these issues up, and also to Congress. Secondly what (and if any) part do they play in the concept of social engineering of content, and how does that affect the users. The last point being more of an inquiry than maybe a concrete legal issue.

It's not unusual in modern society to expect regulations in certain industries and this one might need some regulations, I guess we will just wait and see.

For outages the generatos are great but I'm not sure how they assist with brownouts unless they can start instantly

If the generators will help in an outage, why wouldn't they help in a brownout? You'd transition to generator when the voltage and/or frequency is outside of spec.

You'd typically have some short-term power protection to keep your datacenter running until the generators start.

I was skeptical about a datacenter that had less than 60 seconds of flywheel energy storage. But the data center manager said that if the generator doesn't start within 30 seconds, you're not going to get it started in an hour so having a huge battery stack that can power the datacenter for 15 minutes isn't going to help much.
It's not like global warming necessarily has to do with the net total. It's the heat not getting out that's the biggest problem, hence why we focus on the gas(es) that keep the heat in?
I have no interest in supporting Facebook, but this article takes a bunch of generals ideas and opinions and states them as fact with little attribution in the context of each statement.
I think you have the causality backwards. The two parties are so large and varied because the US system pushes us towards two parties. The coalition building happens within the party before the election (usually as part of the primary and convention). Other governments have coalition building that happens post election of the parliament as part of electing the Prime Minister. That means a vote for a minority party isn't throwing the vote away like it usually is in the US.
If I wanted to interpret this in a paranoiac way, I would say that's because the author of the PR isn't apologetic at all, and in fact is quite fine with forcing a PR through the maintainers without their consent.

While I believe "boldness" is more related to personality than to gender, I have noticed the "bragging bias" you've described quite a bit. But it goes both ways. That is to say "people respond to surveys when they have something to say." If you believe you're being paid too little, you're just as likely to chime in as somebody who wants to brag about their pay. It's the folks in the middle who end up not chiming in, out of the belief that they have little insight to offer. Because of this, ootional surveys oftentime yield biases towards the extremes.

Maybe since this person has a prominent place there is an attempt to set a better example for others? Not a cool move by Oren but maybe a "teachable moment".
ITT: people shocked that something like this could happen at a company the size and profile of Twitch.

Running security at scale in a hypergrowth B2C company is very difficult. It's also completely different from running security at a startup, in a B2B company, or a slower-growth situation. _Every_ security executive and manager I've met has given up in frustration after 12-24 months and gone to take a cushy FAANG job instead.

I'm not surprised at all. My experience in security at a larger SV unicorn was that changes only happened in the immediate aftermath of a security crisis. Otherwise, there was incredible inertia and you just wouldn't be able to get the institutional support you needed to make progress.
How much of this is driven by modern C++ style? I always assumed optimizers needed to become much more aggressive because template-heavy code results in convoluted IR with tons of unreachable code. And UB-based reasoning is the most effective tool to prove unreachability.
Not sure if anyone related to the Handbook are here, or posted this, but if you are you is there a way to download material covered in the Handbook? A git repo, torrent, etc.

It's good of you to inform users

But something even better than that would be facilitating a way to ingest the data or consult it without having to access the site each time.
I’ve had this exercise with my wife and I couldn’t even describe her nose, mouth, forehead or ears even though I see her everyday.
I'd guess because of this part of the post:

"There is a pattern that needs to be resolved. Projects might not fully understand what joining the .NET Foundation means..."

This sounds like not only an apology, but an attempt to start a discussion surrounding the community overall and get everyone to have matching expectations.

It is now an expected requirement nowadays to write a 4000+ essay to apply for redemption from the public.

Saying "sorry" just isn't enough to absolve your "misdeeds", whatever they might be.
> Reality is, politics isn't about fixing problems, it's about winning and having your interests prevail, and becoming the people who manage and extract value from problems, not solving them.

Some people go beyond pragmatism. And pragmatism is not the only way to live, or to even feel alive. Many things have to be fought for regardless of how anti-pragmatic it is to do so and these people look like fools to others, but have their own internal compass driving them.

I think the abolitionist movement (freeing slaves in the US) is the most obvious counterexample to your quoted point.
> Social reproduction is the primary requirement to have a society in the first place, and adult singles don't participate in social reproduction at anywhere near the rates of married couples. This is something that the society has to discourage in order to remain viable.

Eh, but that depends on how many children the couples are having! And I don't think it would be such a terrible thing for the earth's human population to shrink somewhat.
I came here to say that Pulumi is the answer, but people already mentioned it. It's TF under the hood, some of the docs links even refer to the links in TF documentation [not intentionally, just by copy and paste], but they made the experience so much better. Writing code in Typescript and seeing your infrastructure provisioned with all the goodies Pulumi added on top of TF is pure joy. No more HCL, or other "here's my DSL, learn it" scenarios.
"the describers used text-based messaging and, crucially, could include links to any publicly available image on the internet"

That is a very large algorithm, but technically could be pre-shared knowledge. (And there are lots of ways to improve over keeping a copy of all photos on the internet.)
Yes, but you can extract it only once; the device will refuse to provide it if it's already been provided.
I think the apology is here because the author of the PR doesn't want to revert it. As you can see, it's still merged: https://github.com/reactiveui/splat/blob/b930a34badfb2164f38...

Edit: as lots of people said, I was on an older version of the file. I'm not sure how I did this, but I should have double-checked, especially since there was some base64 stuff in the URL.
Sure, but, according to the abstract (it appears fulltext is not available?), that's a device developed specifically for the task. Which is not the case for AirPods.

The difference matters. AirPods and similar devices are engineered to reduce the loudness of the sound. But hearing damage is caused by intensity, which is not the same thing. One is about how the sound is perceived, and the other is about the amount of energy being carried by the sound waves. It is possible to reduce a noise's loudness without reducing its intensity.
UB = Undefined Behavior ?
Hi! Thank you for writing and publishing this project! Just to clarify: no part of my critique was aimed at you or your choices in this codebase. My main point is that unlike the original commenter in this thread, i believe that well written C is not as clear and simple as well written rust (or other modern languages). I then tried to back that up by cherry picking a random line of “c-like” code from your codebase. My beef is with C, not you or anybody else using it :)

Yes, but these photos are so low resolution that it’s not clear they’re exactly matching here, either. And it’s not clear that a police sketch has accurate forehead wrinkles. I could not describe my wife’s forehead wrinkles to a sketch artist, for example.
Without defining truth and correct, the rejoinder makes little sense, your data science credentials notwithstanding.

What seems like a plausible interpretation to my un-credentialed, low-IQ self is:
1. Within dimension comparisons in this instance may suggest that “like” populations are similar across gender, suggesting that there is no bias in how tech compensates women and men.
2. The distribution of said dimensions differing between men and women may reflect exogenous effects that are not controllable by tech since they’re upstream of the tech hiring process.
Because wealth and morality are independent concepts.
This reads like someone who has the ability and power to just steamroll over everything trying to pretend they don’t have that power.
Why is this person even involved?
In that case you can encrypt your message by considering it as one big number, and creating a message long enough to encrypt to that many blocks.

Inefficient in this particular case, but there are length-related attacks, so it's at least not crazily out of the domain of discourse.

But I had to wait for you to qualify it that way, because if someone knows this is your plan, they can compensate with an "encryption" scheme that counters the approach.
No one can own DNA. Ultimately, it’s just a number. How could someone claim ownership of a number that 99% identical to mine?
What makes you think institutions do not execute market orders? They do it all the time especially in crypto. They do it to trigger buy orders.
From the pricing page I linked to[1]:

> There are no charges for outbound data transfer when using a dedicated network connection to the RSTOR network and direct peering is established. These connections are charged separately. To find out more please contact us.

I would imagine for enterprise customers you might either be using direct peering / similar or they're able to charge based upon ballpark bandwidth usage. Otherwise I'm unsure as it does seem quite in line with Wasabi otherwise.

That "Facebook" we always speak of is never the same thing for everyone. Every Page "like", every "friendship", will change what one sees in their social bubble.

I, for one, am glad that my social bubble is utterly boring and un-engaging, and my level of engagement with Facebook is inversely proportional to my engagement/passion in life as such.
> Then that means a sufficiently advanced attacker can compromise all information by reading electromagnetic signals within the physical boundary of where the user _physically_ is

If an attacker can comprehensively monitor all EM signals where the target is, that pretty much eliminates all information (not jist cyber) security.

Sure, it means they can read your screen, but it also means they can read the paper on your desk, too.

Real attackers tend not to have omnidirectional high resolution full-EM-spectrum imagers in the target location.

Realistic threats mostly have countermeasures; identifying the actual threat model faces, risks associated with your data, and which countermeasures are appropriate and worthwhile is...what the security profession does, and its a continuous arms race with attackers.

If your standard for security is a 100% guarantee against unauthorized egress or insertion of data, no, nothing can guarantee that (but your biggest threats are probably still authorized users, not exotic external attacks, even if you are a high-value, government target.)
I personally prefer aws-cdk over Terraform for the specific use case of writing complex Step Function State Machines. Using code to link and chain steps and logic together is much easier than HCL imo. For everything else I prefer Terraform though.
Production could outstrip local distribution precisely because the excess is exported. It doesn't tell whether distribution can handle increased load.

If you really hate your job, quit and find a different one. If you hate the tasks, asks for different tasks.

I know this might not be an option though. So some things that help me to do tasks that I hate doing is to break things up. Set a small goal, accomplish that, and then take a break. Go for a quick walk or grab a snack or read something. Rinse and repeat. Slow and steady wins the race. Eventually the larger task is done. And while you're doing the smaller task, try not to get distracted. Manage your distractions and just let yourself get distracted in your breaks. You can take a lot of breaks lol.

I also find that doing random things to make myself happy let's me enjoy my time working a little more. Like having some nice snacks at my desk, or wearing really comfy clothing, or listening to good music. Then I'm not just wishing I could be done, because at least I'm eating these snacks.

I've been here. It sucks. I really would suggest trying to find a job you like doing a little more. Good luck!
Agree, I would do anything for that kind of salary.

> From what I heard about Twitch-interns over the years, it seems the company is more a third-rate-s*hole that grew too big too fast and accumulated a huge amount of technical debt and fatal security flaws.

I mean this as a genuine question, but is there any company that didn't end up like this after an exponential growth phase? I'm not saying it's okay, but this feels par for the course. I've now been at two start ups during that hockey stick growth time and both went through this as well.

I'd be curious if anyone here has worked at a large, fast growing tech company where they didn't accumulate a ton of technical debt during growth. If so, what did the company do to prevent that?
