I would say there is no significant discrimination of women in tech

I would say that there is a significant lack of interest of women for tech

If anything there is positive discrimination in hiring for example, my manager already said if there are men and women applying, women will have the advantage. I guess they always had, it is just they are/were very fewer compared to men. Other example is my previous manager always available and keen to help the female colleagues, and busy for the male

The only thing you could point out would be biased education even though women outperform men in all areas from basic to university, which gives them more choice

And who can blame anyone, the majority of IT/Dev jobs are booring. Fill your head with technical knowledge, that in a couple of years is completely useless. Looks cool but useless.
If I had the opportunity and and reasonable salary I would definitely change for something more in the areas of history philosophy politics...
I think it's more for existing Notion users that may wish to have a tiny microsite about something. Someone already invested in Notion isn't going to care about self-hosting.
Great question. Yes, eventually it does, but (at least for now) it wasn't something we could reliably force as part of the query cycle and know everything was in it's "best" state with ClickHouse. To be honest, we didn't provide the final compressed size of either database because of the need to wait.

The code that's currently used by TSBS was submitted by Altinity, a heavy supporter of ClickHouse in the U.S., but TSBS is open source and anyone is welcome to contribute and make the process/test better!
Some people went with Apple in spite of their closed App Store model. They might have well not wanted it, but other advantages of iPhones won out for reasons that will remain their own.

As a reminder, Android requires manually ticking a checkbox before allowing sideloading. Sideloading is a choice, not a requirement. If you don't want to do it, don't enable it.
Innovation silos: the importance of the right organisation model to innovate
Huh, this is pretty great; I've always fussily used fputs() when I'm just printing static strings, and apparently I don't need to bother, since the compiler will just do it for me.
30 hours does not necessarily mean 30 man hours. And part of the difference seems to be that parts are assembled before they get to the line with Teslas (the front and rear 1/3's) , so it could be that they have the same labor costs baked in there.

Meanwhile, I assume that space is the cheapest part of the car factory, dwarfed by robotics.

I mean, the VW is cheaper than the 3, so that implies they aren't spending that much more.

well we can start that virginia turnout was 3 points higher in 2020 than 2016: https://www.elections.virginia.gov/resultsreports/registrati... about 400000 more votes than 2016. How many points did D legislators win by compared to 2016? if they moved only three points to win, then it was likely mostly turnout related, not party switching. Also you need to accommodate for the GOP voter that says "not my party" is very likely to simply not vote, or vote third party, likely moreso than to vote for a Democrat. This would indicate "alienation" of such voters is a good strategy in fact. It's certainly the strategy that the GOP uses against Democrats in order to get us not to turn out.

put another way, I have a lot of republicans in my family. There is zero chance of any of them ever changing. It's absurd that we all would need to be concerned about speaking the truth of the GOP party for fear of "alienating" these people. This is a silencing tactic, plain and simple. The GOP takes no such steps to avoid losing potential D switchers.

There is a lot of science which is "stamp collecting" or "puzzle solving", i.e. all the fiddly bits of fleshing out the new theory and its ramifications. There is also, in engineering, the occasional need to develop something really innovative and new.

The thing is, no one outside of science notices all the non-discovery stuff, because it doesn't make it into the textbooks or histories of science. But, it's most of what goes on in science. Also, in engineering, much of the most innovative stuff requires too much prior knowledge to even understand what it is, so not many people find out about it.
You lost me at the last sentence. (Jk, actually at Joscha Bach). The thing is, there is no consensus on what intelligence or smartness or any concept adjacent is. The layman notion is indeed wrong. But reading psychology and neuroscience will only put you deeper into this misery, as the theories proposed have shaky foundations and contradict each other.

I guess that the brain being a complex system there might not be one or multiple attributes of intelligence; just different behaviours.
>why do so many smart people fail to discover anything new?

Given his background as a venture capitalist not a surprising question but much of the implicit premise of the piece is that novelty is somehow superior to maintaining things that exist, which isn't that obvious.

doing 'new' things is fine but the world to a large degree runs on maintaining and very marginally improving what we have or just fixing things in very small ways that would probably not pass his excitement test.

Before someone like Einstein can come along and dig up some paradigm changing idea it often takes decades of work to refine something to the point where some individual can come along and discover what's wrong with it. Even within an individual life like Einstein's that is the kind of work he did most of the time. novelty is the exception, a world of novelty after novelty without long periods of ordinary work during which people refine is hard to imagine.

So just like 80% of Einstein's life was probably doing normal maths, 80% of people are probably going to do normal things, there's nothing wrong with it. It's like the popular analogy of a handful of astronauts standing on the backs of hundreds of people. Every single one of them does a necessary job, and a lot of smart people will do work that in the world of Paul Graham is somehow considered unglamorous.

True enough I guess, though it’s definitely not what I’d pick. Tangentially I wonder why ransomware hasn’t been a thing for longer. Was it an issue of how to do payments that crypto solved?
I'd venture that the time to build is inconsequential compared to the environmental and design reviews - which is why bothering to build a small one doesn't make a lot of sense in the US anyway.
I don't think they can. Current law in that respect does not apply to members of Congress, IIRC. Instead, Congress has decided that its members should:

1. Self-report on themselves, their spouses, their dependent children (why dependent children would be trading securities is beyond me, but OK.)

2. Be subject to a $200 fine for conflicts of interest or failure to report "in a timely manner"

3. Have the fine waived at the discretion of the House or Senate ethics committees

In other words, the rules they've applied to themselves are toothless.
Personally I'd kinda like it if preludes were decoupled from editions in some way. Like, fine to have a default per-edition but there are times I would really like to have a prelude without all the `impl<T> X for T`s included.

You can kinda do this now with `#[no_implicit_prelude]` I think but it has somewhat odd semantics. It applies to all submodules, unlike most attributes, and then if you define your own prelude you need to use it in every submodule because they won't all have their own.

If it's gonna have global effect I think it'd be better if it was:

#[prelude]
mod my_prelude {
use std::whatever::*;
}

and then my_prelude would be included in all submodules by default.
It's an obvious joke, the point of which is that the Stalin Sort is destructive and doesn't actually get you what you want, and you'd never want to use it.
The whole article reads bizarre to me. It’s like pg believes there is some kind of generic smartness metric that characterizes people, and so you’re either smart, very smart or not smart at all.

But people can be smart at things and terrible at others. And it’s not that smart people are terrible at things because they aren’t curious about them, it’s just that some tasks require different mindsets. Like I feel generally fairly smart in engineering, but I just can’t seem to learn chess at all.

Generating new ideas is an entirely different skill. You can’t balance having ideas and being smart. You should try and have both, and no, one is not more important than the other.

I mean the whole article feels like the stupid questions we’d ask ourselves when we were kids: would you rather have a 9-meter arm, or a boneless leg?
In this case, it's handled before the view instead of inside of it because it's managed by the OneSignal SDK as opposed to the app itself.
> Why do you think thinking fast is more important than thinking slowly?

I would say _that_ should be the definition of intelligence (as in, how 'smart' one is). If it takes someone a day to understand something, and it takes someone else 5 minutes to do the same, it's not just a matter of time spent. It completely shapes _how_ one thinks and how deep you can go in any given subject. There's only so much brainpower we can expend before getting tired and 'restarting' tasks is not easy.

Let's say if you are listening to a discussion with a topic you aren't very familiar with, but your peers are extremely familiar with. You'll see that the way the conversation flows is very different. They will rapid fire, exchange incomplete sentences (because the other person has inferred the rest) and overall have a much more rich and complex conversation. You'll be thinking about the next chess move, they will be thinking 10 steps ahead.

Then you'll say: "that's a bad example, this is about knowledge, not intelligence, they are doing it faster because they know more about the subject". Yes. I'll argue that a meaningful 'intelligence' delta doesn't really exist among healthy humans. It's all about how many patterns you have been exposed to. When we try to measure intelligence, we end up measuring knowledge, every single time.

Take the Mensa tests. Someone who went to good schools and did mentally challenging things will have most likely encountered similar questions before. Not exactly the same questions, but adapting something you have seen before to a new situation is much easier than doing this for the first time.

It all comes from my observation that the social platforms enabled interactions at huge scale without implementing the natural safeguards of real life interactions. We meet with unpleasant people too, we had unpopular opinions prior the internet but we managed to work things out. It wasn't the end of the world to have an argument or say something horrible and all came down to accumulate it on a single identity. To end up alone, you would have had to say something extremely bad, something inexcusable but other than that you had the incentive to work on your ideas and relationships if you had controversial opinions. You can say something bad and be dismissed and you can also keep pushing for it until you get accepted.

On the social interactions on the internet, you miss much of it. If someone says something controversial, they will be often censored through voting mechanisms, shadow bans and account removals.

I'm extremely annoyed from our lack of ability to express controversial opinions online. Contrary to the narrative, anonymous accounts don't actually say anything controversial if they are going to get any traction. They usually say something populist and rally people.

It also enables people who think alike to gather and re-enforce their opinions. There are no controversial opinions in online conversations, there are controversial clans that talk to each other and sometimes engage in flamewars when they encounter each other. Trump never said anything unpopular, name a person who you think is horrible but popular and that person never says unpopular things, that's how they are popular. The web has become popularity contests and the anonymity only serves for saying the popular opinions of one group when you are in another.

On every platform that I know, the most popular opinions are those who are promoted and the unpopular ones are hidden or buried, even here on HN is the same thing. You can observe how my truly unpopular opinion will get greyed out and sent to the botton of the thread, possibly collapsed and out of reach to the most so that the populist opinions on this platform can reign.

I want a mechanism where expressing controversial opinions doesn't punish your reach but because I know that this can lead to some horrible stuff(like the things in 4chan etc), I propose a way to put your reputation on the line to do it.

4Chan is an exception where controversial ideas are not buried but they have an issue with some people who are truly horrible.
What was really interesting in this article was the mentioning of "the decline in EROI is an underlying driver of the decline in economic growth".

If we can remove our dependency on fossil fuel energy, then we can turn around economic growth models which is really exciting.
All of these sound good, but the caveat is that they are wood + epoxy/resin/glue.

Depends on what you mean by good, and what level of detail you expect. People certainly have developed accurate enough models to be able to exploit biases and predict & influence patterns of behavior in others.

He was fixated on having complete control.
Upon the suggestions from other commenters, I've had recent interaction with huntr.dev. I maintain an open source project and had a few members on there report vulnerabilities over the last month or two. They seem to pay out both to the finder of the vulnerability and the maintainer (me). The process seemed a janky at first but they've improved the platform since my first interaction and they seem to be encouraging a good thing. Had a few false reports but that has been outweighed by well-defined genuine reports.

You must pick between producer and consumer, and no balance can be struck.

Updating many/all rows as a rare maintenance task, typically as part of deploying a new version of the application.

I know timescale has native support for the most common cases (adding nullable columns/renaming columns). But sometimes the transformation is more complex. Sometimes an sql update statement would suffice, sometimes streaming each segment in chronological order to the application returning the updated row might be required.
The beauty of the web is that you can take something and then make something else out of it. I love that.

Potion has pricing though. And I'm not gonna pay, because I don't know what the setup is - am I paying for Potion to run a Notion account with my stuff in, and then they layer on top?

You say "conveniently" as if it were modified to make the rules less onerous for members of Congress but that wasn't the case. From your link:

> The best way to improve software UX is regular direct observation, by everybody on the team, of the work done.

I disagree with this one in some scenarios. Replace "everybody on the team" with "your prospects and users".

It's useful for handling data that came from outside Rust.

If you have a byte array that you've received over a network connection that represents an array of floats, or you need to convert a 32bit RGBA pixel buffer that you got from some clang ffi binding to a byte pixel buffer without having to split/copy to a new vector.

> 150,000 a year in my area.

which is the top of their salary ceiling, and it's not a high number, like at all. the top number for software devs is about 700k. In my field, people make 200k+. But we're not talking about "pro" people. We're talking about a "pro" laptop. It's the best thing that apple makes - that doesn't make it "pro." It's got the performance of the midrange systems from everyone else.

>I think software engineers don’t need fast laptops either.
yeah, when I run a script to read a few gig of performance data and do a bunch of calculations on it, I need a fast laptop. Until that's done, I'm sitting there, CPU maxed out, not able to do anything else. With an M1, I have to arrange my schedule to process the dataset overnight. With a Dell I run it over lunch. Case closed.

>We need mainframes and fast local networks. Nothing beats compiling at the speed of 192 cores at once.

I'm not a software engineer anymore. When I was, no, I did not usually compile on the server. I compiled on my workstation. Because you're not on a fast local network. You're at an airport for 4 hours, or on a plane for 5 hours, or on a comcast connection at your house.
Another thing Mercury is missing is basic expense management like attaching receipts to transactions.

If you signed up for Mercury today, you’d look at Brex and think, “Eugh, I should have signed up for Brex”.

A sweeping generalization is that Mercury and Brex are the same thing, but Brex is further ahead in terms of basic features to manage a small SaaS business. Mercury will hopefully deploy their capital to build out these features.
These days it comes down to whether you need ecommerce functionality or not. Squarespace and other SaaS website builders offer that. Everyone else can get by with a free CMS and a basic theme.

Because it has similar properties as aluminum. This is obvious. Why play dumb?
I think the comment you're referring to is incorrect in that regard - of course $100 pays (or at least paid pre-chip-shortage) for the bulk-purchased chips and boards in the products, but people buy it because of the streaming services on the box, not because it has a Cortex-A55 in it (although that plays into choosing it over the 1080p model).
The return stroke is only about 5% of the difficulty of the power stroke. True jet engines are not required like in helicopters but turbo machinery in air intake would vastly increase the lift and maneuverability power. It is the brute force of exploding compressed gasses working against a Venetian valve wing. Contrast to rotary engines?
