Yes it does. There're various decent explanations and videos of how both modes work.

You might want to ask the same question for occupations where males are the minority: nurses, childcare workers, HR, etc.

Will those fields be somehow better with more male representation? Are men being discriminated against joining those professions? Or is the gender disparity that exists in pretty much all professions a product of our own differences in interest, social predisposition, or any number of different factors?

I'm not downplaying the discrimination women have historically faced and continue to face in the workplace, and the wage gap that still exists. But maybe we don't need to label any gender disparity as a social injustice that needs to be corrected.

FWIW, I don't think video games are a medium where the gender of the creator matters much. Like any creative art form, what matters is how the consumer experiences it. Do you care about the gender of the painter, or about the painting itself? Do video games really need to be created by a specific gender to be enjoyed by a specific gender? Why is gender even part of the conversation when video games are a creative outlet only limited by our imagination?

With how popular games are today, and how easy it is for anyone to start creating them, what exactly are those cultural barriers you talk about?
Pattern matching is a key feature of functional programming languages; it predates Java by 20 years and remains widely used today. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_(programming_language)

For some examples relating to business logic, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/...

Lots of compilers are written in functional languages and use pattern matching for traversing abstract syntax trees, dispatching on the node type. The OO way to do this is to put all logic relating to a particular class in the class itself. The functional approach is to put all logic for a given method/function in one place and handle all the different types. They are two different philosophies both with different tradeoffs, and which is best depends on the type of program you're writing. But it's nice for a language to support both, so you can pick and choose which approach is best for a given problem.
I definitely really like it when people come back with more thoughts after an interview. Accounting for nervousness is always a difficult thing to do, but important. Definitely the stories in this whole thread about people who were told they weren't "confident enough" imply people not taking this into account.

On the other hand, I was once involved in hiring someone who we thought was nervous but it turned out the signs of nerves we were seeing were probably DTs. They didn't last very long for mostly unrelated reasons, though it's possible we could have done better by them as well. Still, it's sometimes hard to parse out what even looks like nerves in an interview because it's usually treated as such an adversarial process.

Mostly these days I try to focus on making it feel less adversarial when I interview, to try to get people over that nervousness and treat it more as a conversation. It's amazing how far you have to go to convince people you're not trying to trick them though, because of how many standard interview questions are (intentionally or not) trick questions.
I don't understand. The overall purchase was less than 100 mil. Yes, a large amount but for a country that should be very manageable and in theory it still has a possibility of gaining.

I agree it's too early to make it a country's currency since it's too easy to manipulate and he has no control over it but it's a work in progress. He has years to make it work for the country.
Wow, this is a fantastic solution to some questions I've had rattling around in my head for years about the optimal bucket choices to minimize error given a particular set of buckets.

Do I read right that circllhist has a pretty big number of bin sizes and is not configurable (except that they're sparse so may be small on disk)?

I've found myself using high-cardinality Prometheus metrics where I can only afford 10-15 distinct histogram buckets. So I end up

(1) plugging in my live system data from normal operations and from outage periods into various numeric algorithms that propose optimal bucket boundaries. These algorithms tell me that I could get great accuracy if I chose thousands of buckets, which, thanks for rubbing it in about my space problems :(. Then I write some more code to collapse those into 15 buckets while minimizing error at various places (like p50, p95, p99, p999 under normal operations and under irregular operations).

(2) making sure I have an explicit bucket boundary at any target that represents a business objective (if my service promises no more than 1% of requests will take >2500ms, setting a bucket boundary at 2500ms gives me perfectly precise info about whether p99 falls above/below 2500ms)

(3) forgetting to tune this and leaving a bunch of bad defaults in place which often lead to people saying "well, our graph shows a big spike up to 10000ms but that's just because we forgot to tune our histogram bucket boundaries before the outage, actually we have to refer to logs to see the timeouts at 50 sec"
IMHO, both situations are true. There used to be more regulations in the US to prevent monopoly formations in media in a region [1] that once relaxed lead to more concentration. Banks had/have some regulations on M&A [2] which when relaxed generally result in smaller banks getting bought out. Concentration are natural trends in many markets without regulation to limit it. Maintaining the "invisible hand of free markets" isn't actually a naturally stable equilibrium in many markets. Especially those where fungibility is low (local media, local banking, ISPs, healthcare, etc).

Now in other markets a high bar of regulations conversely encourage concentration due to increase costs of meeting the regulations. Reforms like Frank-Dodds can be a mix, both making it more expensive to meet the accounting and reporting needs favoring larger companies, but also imposing rules limiting concentration of ownership. However regulation heavy fields can still be opened up by startups/new entrants if they're significantly better than competitors (SpaceX comes to mind).

It's multi-faceted game theory, not a simple rule or sliding scale.

this article sucks. because of widespread issues like hypothyroidism that aren't routinely screened for (in some cases yes but i don't think this is largely the case), there are serious endocrine and metabolic disruptions, so for the author to brush that off in an article that is clearly designed for people who are struggling to lose weight, it's just way off base. there should at least be footnotes for people to have their T3, T4, and TSH checked if they are struggling to lose weight at a caloric deficit.

> If it was possible to concentrate a proton to make a blackhole, when it evaporates, I'd say it "eject" itself (a proton)

From Wipedia:

> Quantum gravity (via virtual black holes and Hawking radiation) may also provide a venue of proton decay at magnitudes or lifetimes well beyond the GUT scale decay range above, as well as extra dimensions in supersymmetry.

Perhaps it's possible that a proton get transformed into a black hole and then the black hole decays into a positron and a pion (or a positron and a few photons). Nobody is sure about this, and nobody has seen this or other decays of protons. More speculative details in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_decay#Theoretical_motiv...

I'd be surprised if it matters. In older TLS versions (the version is not specified either) the suite might include various handshake parameters, but they're irrelevant after the handshake completes anyway. After that, regardless of version, realistically you are doing AES or maybe ChaCha20. There are lots of options in TLS 1.2 and earlier, but you won't use any of them, since both machines know AES.

The fact it's bottlenecked somewhere but CPU is fine suggests some configuration parameter somewhere results in not as much data being in flight for HTTPS, limiting throughput over this very fast connection. If so, fixing this parameter would make the noticeable difference essentially vanish.

Part of the weakness is that 'warfare' is probably not the best way to conceptualize it.

In actual warfare I end someone's life and they do not wake up the next day to fight me, or I wound them to a similar outcome. In 'economic' warfare I still wake up the next day when you freeze all my assets, or stop sending me my goods, or stop servicing my departments.

It's just a fundamentally different dynamic. And I agree, it's not clear.

That said, I do think these actions were necessary, geopolitically. My tangential opinion is that there have been two implementations of Capitalism in conflict the past decades, Western and Chinese. It's what I think has spurned the capital booms in each and acted as the foundational fabric for lots of cultural and political skirmishes.

But in this environment China could not necessarily be seen in direct competition and vice versa. Here, Russia acted as a sort of European conduit for China's geopolitical aims and cultural propaganda.

These western economic actions now help to more clearly split the two implementations in order to, I speculate, give the Western system time to breathe and consolidate. Lick its wounds. Whether it meets its goals, i'm skeptical, but I do believe it's rational even if it causes Russia to re-orient rather than collapse.

It may also be beneficial as a warning to smaller nations looking to try and keep a foot in both, if Russia can't do it...
I think there's something about this article that isn't just off, but encourages a sort of psychopathy-victim dynamic.

Where it oversimplifies reality, just for a few examples:

What about cases where people take credit for what others do?

What about when people prevent others from doing things, so as to create artificial scarcity?

Are others really knowledgeable about the long-term value of something to themselves? Are actors rational?

Just for instance: all of the characters in that Glengarry Glen Ross scene are white. What if that character decided blacks are worthless because no one wants to do business with a black person? Do we just passively shrug and say that's reasonable, if true? What about the long-term consequences of a workplace environment like the one in the film? Is there another way of doing it? What about the higher-order value of sales benefiting that company?

I think there's a certain false wisdom about the perspective of the article that rings hollow to me at this stage. Like, it's not just cold or harsh, but false.

Not too long ago there was an article posted here at HN about a sort of bias to see cynicism as intelligent, and I guess I see this as part of that pattern. I've met too many people in my life that justify rewarded narrowmindedness, bigotry, incompetence, or psychopathy in terms of "how life is". Maybe at some level that's true but to me it leads to a certain psychopathic brand of meaningless tautology in which we're all either swindlers or marks.

It's hard to say without more details however the bit about applying to 1000 jobs definitely raised my eyebrows.

How do you apply to jobs? If you're simply going on indeed or LinkedIn and clicking easy apply I can see why you might not get many responses.

For reference I think I've only applied to maybe 20 jobs in my life and got at least a first interview for 18 of them. That said my process for applying to a job takes at least a few hours if not days, because I research the company, try and understand why they're hiring, try and find people who work their to talk to, then I tailor my resume to the position and apply by asking someone to pass it along to the relevant person. I don't have A CS degree, a deep network or any notable opensource projects so I'm fairly confident this approach would work for anyone.

The UK education system is extremely odd and fascinating to me.
The key trade off if low-dependency, with everything up to and including alert notification delivery pushed down to the region. For alerting queries to happen there is little infrastructure Monarch depends upon to keep running beyond networking and being scheduled on the machines.

If you think about Bigtable, a key observation that the Monarch team made very early on is that, if you can support good materialized views (implemented as periodic standing queries) written back to the memtable, and the memtable can hold the whole data set needed to drive alerting, this can work even if much of Google's infrastructure is having problems. It also allows Monarch to monitor systems like Bigtable, Colossus, etc., as it doesn't use them as serving dependencies for alerting or recent dashboard data.

It's a question of optimizing for graceful degradation in the presence of failure of the infrastructure around the monitoring system. The times the system will experience its heaviest and most unpredictable load will be when everyone's trying to figure out why their service isn't working.

That's an amazing reference, but it's about the language, I was thinking more of walk-throughs of code in the language. E.g., for some BQN code: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30913872

There was a better example a couple of weeks ago here in a thread, someone had done a bit of APL or K for Advent of Code or something and posted a line, and someone else broke it down and explained how it worked. I spent an hour just now with Algolia trying to find it but I failed. :(

Holm's Klong docs have a good example in https://t3x.org/klong/klong-intro.txt.html where he explains how a table formatter function works.

Mathematical equations are usually embedded in papers that explain them. (I mean, I've read papers that were basically equations one-after-another with just scraps of interstitial prose, but they were heavy going.)
Two thoughts:

1. I believe Russia also has India as a trading partner, so a resource rich country has access to over half the world’s population — they’ll figure it out.

2. I believe that China has already weaponized finance against the US, from funding organizations at universities to coercing policies at major companies, eg Disney and WarnerMedia, to demanding IP transfers from anyone who wants to do business there. My understanding is that the US was woefully unprepared for a one-way open market and the disruptions that would bring to their economy.
> But if B is moved by another body, which in turn is moved by another body, and so on, then we face either an infinite regress or a cycle, with each body moving the next. To handle this, Leibniz invokes p4, taking together all bodies which are movers, and referring to the whole as C.

So the argument hinges on the composition of (all) moving objects and the premise that the composed body is also moving but cannot be moved by another body since all the bodies are in the composition.

Supposing the only objects in the universe are two objects moving each other (in a cycle), they are considered a single body moved by an immaterial body because their composition cannot move itself? So everything boils down to where does energy come from?

Interested in your enthusiasm on this front. If (x instanceof String s) was demonstrated at the JavaOne announcing Java 9.

There are some merits for that, but I think that is both excessive and deficient at the same time.

I think that these are valid points, which I have some comments relating to.

> Support HTML 5, CSS 3, HTTP, TLS

You can add other file formats and protocols too, such as Gemini, Gopher, and possibly Markdown too.

> Maybe remove website specific styling altogether and instead design a consistent design that optimizes navigation and readability.

That is what I think too; even the HTML with no CSS, will be OK. Perhaps let the end user to specify colours, fonts, etc.

> Allowing the user to query for information and have that data displayed without full page reloads (AJAX)

For data-oriented stuff, you could also have such things like <a rel="data">, you can just get the data and use your own software to display it.

> I want a minimal, modern set of browsing tools where I don't have to make any sacrifices between usability and compliance with the standards.

Yes, I think so, too. Splitting all of the components separately is one start, I suppose (although it is not good enough by itself) (a C program can then be written to tie them together, and this can be changed as needed, including to add/remove components) (this is like reversing core and extensions the other way, so that e.g. HTML and HTTP are now extensions instead of core). However, half of the standards are I don't want quite compliance and should deliberately implement them in a better way than what they say.
I mean, if you want to give his point a generous interpretation, replace murder with bullying/alienation/etc.
