This article misses the point. It is partly America’s obsession with STEM diversity (and the resulting lack of purely meritocratic advancement) that has created this current crisis. The Chinese certainly don’t delude themselves into thinking that gender or racial diversity are important for much of anything - access to Chinese university or employment is meritocratic. It’s true that China is not as racially heterogeneous as the US, but that fact doesn’t support the inference that you can’t compare the two. The fact remains that the world’s rising superpower is not concerned with diversity, human rights, or many of the other virtue signalling calling cards that are heavily prioritised in America and couched as sine qua nons of national success. Perhaps it’s time for America to grapple with which of either its superpower status or human rights record is more important to it. Prima facie it increasingly can’t have both.

“The nation, it says, must sustain excellence in basic research; foster a scientific workforce more diverse in race, gender, and geography; and support high-quality precollege science and math education. The board also calls for forging closer ties between academia and industry, keeping borders open to promote international partnerships, and promoting ethical research practices.”

Race, gender, and geographical diversity, and ethical research practice have nothing to do with advancing America’s research prowess. See: Nazi Germany and Jim Crow America, neither of which were concerned with diversity or ethics in research. And open borders is different of course from simply saying that America should have a robust visa system for qualified candidates. American bureaucrats seem to think that if they can only tick off all the buzzwords, GDP will rise and American innovation will soar.
It's easy to overcomplicate this. Why work for someone who is an arsehole? Leave! Why are you worrying about good people not applying because of your bad glass door ratings? Do you actually want good peopel to be exposed to your arsehole CEO? Will they make a difference? No.

Either you make the judgement you can outlast the CEO, or you should be thinking of your career outside of the company.
This looks great, but I think it'd be great if you submitted this (if you haven't already) as an issue to Jetbrains! They may integrate a similar fix and that'd be much more discoverable
I had a relatively bad experience with graduate school but in retrospect it was better than working. Very little oversight on how I spent my time, got to do interesting work and being a grad student in my field (physics) was relatively high status when it came to dating the people I wanted to date.

I walked to work every day and walked home every night. I slept well.

In comparison, literally the only good thing about "the real world" is more money.

My advisor was an anti-social depressive and I often felt spectacularly dumb. But in retrospect, it was great. If I could afford to go again, I'd do it.

The error messages are very good, cargo is awesome, rust analyzer is already good but still needs some time to flourish, and the performance in production is really predictable. It's for sure not perfect, but in many aspects it feels like a step forward, so much that sometimes I'm wary on how much I'm relying on the compiler to check my decisions for me.

Replacing SSL/TLS with wireguard is cool but aren't you just going to run into the same headaches of rotating certificates/keys? No one is really going to rely on using the same wireguard key indefinitely, right?
Like I said, it's the protocol that is standardized. HD Radio as a whole is not, because of the codec. I think it's absolute BS that the FCC went down the path of a proprietary format, but it's the way things are. And the fact is, we do have at least one FOSS implementation. Since it's not DRM, I believe (but IANAL) that it's perfectly legal to reverse-engineer it.

I doubt Xperi really cares, since HD Radio is a trademark so it's not like you could build, sell and market an "HD Radio" device without licensing from them anyway.
Look at the Filco brand.
Sikorsky was attempting to bolt a helicopter atop a fixed-wing aircraft. Rather than the best of both worlds they wound up with the worst problems of each. A more interesting idea was the F-104 VTOL concept. Rather than put helo blades on a fighter, take the delta wing of a fighter and spin it like a helicopter blade. Take off with it spinning then fix it in place when flying forwards, potentially at supersonic speeds. The concept was never built but would have avoided the inherent inefficiencies of Sikorsky's approach. And a supersonic rotary-wing aircraft would be very cool.

I'd settle for any society where women built the huts. Nearly every society has needed to construct some form of shelter or build some sort of tool. Basketweaving comes to mind.

Grilling and baking are great examples of what I'm talking about. Actually, in the past baking was seen as a masculine activity. Ovens used to be much more dangerous than now. You had a dedicated town Baker just like you had a Blacksmith. Over time with the invention of gas and electric appliances and the proliferation of cheap baked goods, baking became a luxury. Now it's a feminine activity. If danger determines masculinity/femininity, then that would also explain why grilling is considered masculine. I'm sure there's a biological explanation out there for why men are attracted to danger (or at least don't mind it) while women are repelled by it.

To find some sort of culture that isn't influenced by biology, we would have to find some aspect of culture that we invented in our heads. For example, religion or philosophy or law. There are a ton of examples out there. But when we examine the culture that organically forms, I think there's a biological explanation for most of it. Maybe even all.
I disagree, and here's why: Andrew Yang is ignoring the elephant in the room. It's not just that the concerns I brought up are another factor, it's that they are by far the dominant factor in why young men are dropping out and discontent. At least in my opinion.

To use another analogy: it's like going to the ER for a sucking chest wound and being told you should reduce your cholesterol. They're not wrong, but this is probably not the most pressing concern.

Sounds like a company I know. We placed one of our Engineer contractors there - all was well. Then he joined the company (perfectly agreeable all around) and instantly started getting shit on by their CEO. Public criticism of everthing he did; outrageous demands on their time; exclusion from company events for fake emergencies; announcements that his department (consisting of exactly one person, him) was under-performing the other department (12 people) at company meetings.

So he quit; they panicked; he's now a contractor again with double the pay and reporting to a VP he got along with.

As a trans woman (assigned male at birth, lived as a boy / guy for 20+ years) - I barely know what "textile" is. It means "fabric", right? It's the thing that textile factories make.

> Do you not have curtains or a couch?

The house has the same curtains it had when we moved in. They're ugly, and I just ignore them. Except for the front window, where my spouse changed them for some reason.

My old apartment also had the same curtains it always had.

I have 3 couch-ish objects:

- A $100 futon that I bought when I first moved out to use as a combo bed / couch. My spouse also replaced the mattress on there, probably with something cheap off Amazon.

- A very cheap loveseat of unknown origin that a friend gave me.

- An old sleeper couch from my parents' house that they didn't want.

I think Jacquard is the guy who invented the loom that they teach about in every CS 101 class.

But no, I don't know what damask and Chenille are.

I actually love clothes shopping! I just don't think about furniture. It's so heavy and bulky. I love buying dresses but I don't think about fabrics. I know there's cotton, and denim, and fake leather, and then there's fabrics I never think about.

I don't decorate the house, I decorate myself. Sparingly.

Edit: For shoes I have "boots", "sandals", "sneakers", and "heels". I go to the thrift store and see what looks good and fits, and then I buy it. Sometimes I buy new shoes too, but I don't like dress clothes, so I just eyeball it without thinking about names.
This is not surprising and will continue to get worse. The Chinese pump out far more scientists than us, and the small amount of the ones we have in comparison are handicapped by thought policing in the new age of political correctness. Not to mention how you need to publish papers that appease to certain powers that be to get any funding for anything. We pay teachers like shit, and there are no incentives for more teachers to be created. Colleges are way too expensive, discriminating against Asian's for example, and are now removing merit-based testing. Our obsession with diversity and forced equality of outcomes. I could go on. We're pretty screwed.
It's not a binary thing.

If you can choose secure communication vs. insecure communication you're better off choosing secure. You're right of course this doesn't protect you 100%, but it's a lot better than not having secure communication.

Does that mean even with Signal your friend could be compelled to unlock their phone and reveal the comms? Sure. It's still better to have that be the requirement than access to all comms by default. It requires more specific and high effort targeting. It makes it harder to just query keywords generally to find people. It's the better default state.
I think this quote is actually from "We Can Work It Out". Both great songs nonetheless.
This is not it.

Having worked at some startups before, there's a difference between folks slowly getting off the boat because "party time is over", and the chaos described by OP.

In the former situation, these people are usually easily replaceable because they weren't committed to start with. I have probably seen over a dozen engineers leaving over the course of a year when more money required better processes and more accountability, and to be frank, nothing really happened.

In the latter though, the high performing, highly committed engineers leave in droves, and create a sort of expertise vacuum that is hard to fill just with new hires.
> But for stuff like rate-limiting you probably don't care.

I guess you would care in this scenario, otherwise you have cascading failures (something makes pg crash, and the lack of rate limit allows the abuse to continue).

So implementing a rate limiter separate from the rest may make sense too. I like their idea of doing it on memory and keeping the load balanced, as it doesn’t rely on any dependency.
What Happened to Jon Stewart?
I did a 10 session package (got it on sale) that focused on (distributed) system design and ML system design. I felt confident in the coding piece, but I didn't have the opportunity to work on large scale systems in my previous role. I believed that I could obtain a sufficient level of knowledge by self-study and practice, but I also have a toddler that takes up a lot of time and energy, so I wanted to be more efficient. I think it was valuable to absorb knowledge from a mentor that has real experience working in my target role. It turned out that was very successful in my real interviews. I think that I would have still done OK had I not done the interviewing.io, but, by my estimate, the return on investment was high, since I received multiple offers and negotiated up.

e: I wanted to add that my mentor and I decided that we would do 4 pure teaching sessions, and then the remainder would be partial mock interviews that would transition over sessions from them doing most of the talking to me doing most of the talking. I found this format to be good for building my own confidence.

Because recent technical change heavily favors book learning over hands-on skills, which are more compelling to males.
Not a very big sample size but I do find it interesting how the males lean towards more technical terms. A result of sexism in education, not biological differences, I'm sure...
You've changed the meaning considerably when you switched it from: "one way to learn about other cultures" to "best way".

The best documented reason would be the ongoing replication crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

Aside from that, focusing on quantity of papers published has incentivized publication of papers that don't significantly increase the store of useful knowledge to humanity, and function as a bit of a haystack to obscure actual useful results

Additionally the 'publish more papers' culture creates other moral hazards, like: 1. Cabals of reviewers who work to help publish each other without regard to the validity of the papers published. 2. Making authors who work for a long time on tougher science have a worse scholastic reputation than those who work to publish a large volume of insignificant papers. 3. Incentivizing p-hacking and alteration of paper scope to salvage insignificant/negative findings.
This is tricky, because it's a class of problem that you need to understand exists in order to seek out the relevant information. Once you know what to look for, it's easy to find guidance - even from Oracle themselves [0]

A lot of us have "learned the hard way," as it sounds like Linus himself eventually did. I think this highlights an issue with the "learn through youtube video" approach. An internet celebrity may acquire enough knowledge to do accessible demonstrations, presenting totally valid, useful, and correct information in them, and still miss crucial "unknown unknowns" that they simply hadn't encountered in their own research.

It's hard to know what to recommend for a class of issue you aren't even aware of!

A long time ago I was headed to a photo shoot with the owner of a Ford GT40. As we cruised along he commented that it was the perfect road trip vehicle. Being young and a chronic over-packer and over-preparer, I asked how that was possible, as its total storage consisted of a glovebox and a cupholder. He said "all you need is a pair of sunglasses and a credit card!"

Which in retrospect was a bit of guy-who-can-afford-a-GT40 privilege, but it also changed my philosophy of travel. The stuff you need to survive can be obtained cheaply and easily. The joy of travel comes from what you leave behind.
That must surely be enterprise only, right? Cant imagine many home users need 30tb hdd more than say 2tb ssd
The second example is a pretty standard monadic composition pipeline. In languages like Haskell or F# there can be special syntax to make it easier to read (do notation or computation expressions).

However if you’ve never done it will be hard to read. It’s easy to read to someone who has the background, and it is easier to refactor and less error prone because the context of a nullable value (the if statement checks) is factored out from the core logic. So if the core logic needs to be changed it can be done so without touching the if statement checking for None.
Not terribly new: 50 years ago (and a few months) a friend of mine rearranged his 11th grade schedule to switch chemistry sections. The wrestling coach teaching the one he left, in reviewing the metric system with the students, had defined "milligram" as "one million grams." I trust it was a mere slip of the tongue, but it did not build confidence.

On the other hand, my recollection is that coaches taught Algebra I, Plane Geometry, and Trig without causing any scandals.

[Edit: corrected the spelling of "wrestling".]

The Webb telescope is a direct collaboration between 14 countries of which the US is one, with further input from many other countries through the European Space Agency, NASA, and the Canadian Space Agency.

If the company you're interviewing for is just some boss rambling about his wife, then sure, don't bother training for it or doing everything you can to increase your chances of success.

If the company you're interviewing for is among the highest paying companies in the world, where you can literally change the quality of your life and your family's life by making enough money to comfortably retire as a multimillionaire by the time you're 35-40... then investing months doing the dreaded leetcode grind, mock interviews, and doing everything in your power to prepare for it is absolutely worth it.

In fact, seeing just how few people are willing to actually invest time and effort into excelling at an interview process that can tangibly improve ones life in ways very few other professional careers can is even more of a reason to do it. Every time I see people who are dismissive of technical questions, rant about how it's unfair that interviewers expect them to understand fundamental data structures, algorithms, time complexity, and think that all they should need to know to be a developer is how to glue a few APIs together, it makes me both sad to see how low of a standard we hold ourselves to, but also in a selfish way it makes me happy knowing that the competition for competent developers is so low.
>> espadrille, sure, that's a woman's shoe guys might not ever see the word for. But damask? Jacquard? Chenille? Do you not have curtains or a couch?

Ironically, Espadrille is the only word on that shortened list I ever heard of... but I think mostly because in my country its definition was expanded - certainly there were tons of Espadrilles for men. That may or many not be universal.

Literally Everything else on the purple list... no clue.

I do have curtains and a couch. FWIW I am a home owner in my 3rd owned residence (Condo, small house, medium house). I have never ever ever geeked out or cared about their material, by name, so I suppose there's a world still awaiting for me :)

Anyhoo, I do feel that the two lists are not symmetrical. It feels that one is fairly clustered around fashion/style/materials, whereas the other, while still having common threads, has technology, science, physics, video games, and nerdery. But is that exposing simply another kind of bias in me? Because the "male" words are familiar to me, I see more diversity in them than the unfamiliar words? Food for thought, but I still think bushido, shemale and terraflops are different categories regardless of gender :D

Fwiw, my classification:

Aileron - airplanes; howizter, bushido, katana - military; shemale - porn; strafe - FPS/gaming presumably; Yakuza - gangs; boson, milliamp,gauss, piezoelectricity, etc - physics; checksum, teraflop - comsci; parsec... physics, technically, but SciFi, practically :P

vs:

fashion/clothes/hair: peplum, boucle, ruche, chignon, tulle, chenille, voile, bandeau, kohl,espadrille, whipstitch, sateen, jacquard, damask, chambray

Verbena, Fressia - flower

pessary, doula - health
No one is saying it isn't. But that's clearly not what is being discussed here. This is just changing the definition mid argument.

My phrasing likely could have been more clear. China and India cannot curtail emissions without reducing energy availability and increasing costs to their population. This has direct and immediate impact on quality of life and human development within their borders. It is actually rather hypocritical for the developed world, which has benefitted from years of development on the back of low cost energy, to push for emissions reductions from countries that have decades of development to undergo.

To be clear, there are intermediate actions they could and should take, such as phase out of coal in favor of natural gas.
That really is a myth that needs to die.
Not every, or even most, individuals no, I would hope not. But every for-profit company surely does. No matter whatever bullshit mission they may plaster on their walls, the moniker "for-profit" tells you what the goal is plain and simple, and any high minded ideals will ultimately become subservient to that.

No it isn't, but that's not relevant to this discussion. Nobody made any claim of limitless upside.

Yes, but it implied you're likely to find the same thing anywhere that's not a super early stage startup, which is not true.
