Of course. Women are not physiologically better at QA than other roles in tech companies. That's it. That's 100% of the information required to determine that this is the result of sexism.

However, a lot of people seem to think that describing reality is an insult to them, so I have to explain further - this is a result of systemic sexism starting at early childhood. It starts with what toys children are given to play with. It continues via socialization in schools. It's propagated via every surprised face when a woman shows up to learn about technology. No individual person involved in the process might have any malice at all. It's the result of entire systems of behavior, no individual part of which can be described as "the problem". You might call it systemic sexism.

You don't have to be able to explain the entire method of operation to see the result. Is there a statistical difference in outcomes between groups that isn't explained by a difference between the groups? Then there's a systemic bias at work.
As a layman, I am having a hard time understanding how someone could be charged of insider trading on a company that is not trading publicly? If someone could explain, thanks!
SQL will be around forever. Even if it is "deprecated" in the next decade or two, there will be lucrative contracts for decades after that, ala COBOL and RPG.
At first I was confused because of my mental rule of thumb that in a Bernoulli choice, p=0.5 is highest variance.

But that is when the payoff is 1, of course!

When it's not, we're really looking at payoff² * p * (1-p) and indeed the second situation has much higher variance.

Reminds me a little of the experience described in song “America” by Simon & Garfunkel. Although I think they’re on the bus, but much the same experience.
> But actually this is a terrible career advice and relatively few people actually end up making anywhere close to $100k on Twitch or Patreon. [...] I think Patreon is a great tool to give you a decent supplement to your income

There are relatively few content creators making $100k/yr from a single platform, but there are tons of people making that and more by utilizing all of the platforms. The first piece of advice I always give to musicians is to treat every social media and streaming platform as its own "venue" with their own unique set of users -- because they are. Always performing at the same venue in your hometown isn't going to be lucrative or sustainable, so you branch out to other venues and other cities, because that's the only way to find new markets.

The same is true for all content creation. Focusing on in-person performances ignores the entire online market, which is >99% of potential revenue. Focusing on Twitch ignores the opportunities of TikTok and YouTube. But if you take the time to understand the quirks of each platform and its users, and then chop up your content into sizes and styles appropriate for each platform, it's actually extremely easy to go from zero online presence to $10k/mo within two years.

Not everybody understands Patreon or wants to use it (and frankly, it's not a very usable site), so if your subscriptions are solely based around that platform, then you're ignoring 95% of the potential subscriber market and making everything more difficult than it needs to be. Content is content. It can go anywhere, and investing a few days into learning basic video editing makes content distribution a breeze.

While it pays less I don't think I'd ever state that it's "lower tier". If QA is an integral part of your process, that the customer pays for, then you don't disparage people doing the necessary work.
Old man rails at world because a different computer operating system works differently than the one he's used to. News at 11:00...

FWIW, I've been using Linux for the last 30 years or so - since it came on a root/boot floppy disk (though I think it was the high-density 1.44MB ones, tbh it's too long ago to remember). MacOS is the best unix workstation, hands down - the competition isn't even close - that money can buy IMHO. It's not perfect by any stretch (what is ?) but home-brew fixes most of the deficiencies.
let's say there's 5+ leading definitions of DevOps. I'll add this which I think is quite unpopular but true:

No.

A single anecdote is sufficient to merit "at least partly."

You can say it's not generally proved. But it also wasn't a universal claim.
Curious how well they were able to control for economic factors. How are they not sure it’s not

“People who can afford to buy lots of coffee can also afford other lifestyle ingredients that lead to longer life, relatively.” ?

Latter Day Saints and Adventists don”t drink coffee, and yet they get to brag about better than average longevity too. But that too could just be a canary for economic indicators.
The discussion is not about raising the price of water just for almond growers. It is about raising it for all usage other than typical households. The comment I replied to specifically mentioned cattle ranchers, for example.
This was just ordinary software consulting; meetings on site with our clients. I often I met with their lead product people, though sometimes the founders, since the companies were small. After a while, especially if you are working from their office, people don't hide things. I'm not sure they cared, either.
You’re right and I miss-typed, it’s yes that I usually use. I think it’s optimized for throughput.
I'm really confused here. This post started off as "Tell HN: GitHub was MITMd in Taiwan tonight" with an image showing a Taiwanese government SSL certificate, but once the post received several upvotes, it has been edited into something else entirely different?

At a glance, probably Western equivalent of these are Schaum's Outline Series, which start by telling you something, giving you some worked examples on it, and then setting you lose on them. It's a great way to learn, quickly, particularly for a student.

I remember distinctly learning (as a teenager) Schaum's Outline Series of Vector Calculus teaching me quickly and in detail "grad div curl and all that" very effectively, so much so that I got basically 100% on all of my A-level maths and further maths papers because, well, if you can do a big book of problems like that, then exams really are just more of the same. At the time, I absolutely loved them -- big brown books, some of which are currently by my ankles.

I'm not sure it actually helped that much beyond early university though. Exams select for a very specific skill. What isn't taught is why something was discovered, or is useful, or how an idea came to be. Many more advanced ideas in mathematics are downright bizarre and it's the basic idea that you need to be able to come up with something similar to, not necessarily the detail.
As the parent, just wanted to give a quick reply with thanks.

My reply here is meta given the topic, but I almost didn't submit my original comment because I've seen how these threads go. Any additional information in my comment would lead to even more complexity/areas to pick apart. Less information becomes easy targets for flame. I can understand why the talk was pulled, because they often seem to result in negative PR, more than any potential positive influence. I felt the same with submitting my comment.

Thank you for offering positive suggestions and discussion to the topic.
All it takes is for one bad apple to not install them correctly or use badly defected ones, and boom, people drinking water they should not. Sometimes, regulation IS the answer.
Great, now I am further interrupting what I should be doing to see if similar work exists for our Intellino train.

This effect makes me very curious, because yeah I wouldn't think adding sugar would be better, but one effect could be that - if people are really only using a teaspoon of sugar, maybe people who are able to moderate the sugar intake in coffee are good at moderating diet in other ways as well? I drink black coffee, but, it's not that I'm being healthful, it's I like the dark strong flavor of coffee, and that desire for "strong flavors" means I don't always make the best health choices in other areas.
No, wells are part of the problem.

Purple pipe is recycled water.

Annual rainfall is like your surplus/deficit - Aquifer levels are how much money you have in the bank. Unregulated wells tap the aquifer and don't allow it to replenish which then dries the ground causing it sink amongst other problems.

Have you ever driven through all of California - Ag valley, desert, norcal, east of the sierra?

True that. IIRC Mullvad was literally the world’s largest Wireguard deployment until Cloudflare did Warp. Just because people haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it’s small. They just don’t advertise on shitty podcasts, so it doesn’t have the same brand recognition.

I said QA is viewed as lower tier, not less skilled. QA, especially SDET style QA, is plenty difficult, but gets very little respect.
Any suggestions on how an European can tackle this? I now have quite a bunch of Indian collegues, and while I know what the caste system is and how it sucks, it is all just theory for me. If women are cut short in meetings I see it and can do something. If all Indians are excluded, or all Blacks, Asians,..., I see it and can do sometjing. Well, in theory. But of it is only affecting a sub-set of a group that is completely indistinguishable from the rest, it gets close to impossible. Plus, it feels like a really sensitive topic. Just wondering, not that I encountered a situation like that so far, or rather not that I saw one for what it was.
See you back in a few months!
How could one prove otherwise? (Assuming you can't send in a 5 Eyes team to audit them, haven't hacked their management network, etc.)

I think I first heard this quote in one of Taleb's books (paraphrasing):

In Ancient Greece, you were a hero for what you attempted to do and not for what you actually accomplished. This was because the Greeks considered the outcome to be primarily governed by the whim of the Fates. What you attempted to do was a function of your courage especially given that a big task could lead to a big failure outside of your control.

I think of this quote often anytime the "outcome vs process" discussion comes up.

If this puzzle reminds you of a Rubik's cube that is not a coincidence. The mathematical structure of both puzzles is essentially the same. The moves in both puzzles form a non-abelian group, which is the source of the challenge. See http://web.mit.edu/sp.268/www/rubik.pdf

In fact, a fun meta-puzzle is to find a three-dimensional analog to this two-dimensional puzzle.

Indeed and in 19th century New England there was actually a term "Boston Brahmin." It was also based on surname and social standing. The term is still used, often in articles discussing people from white well-to-do, old money New England families.

I think it's more mocking the oversimplification of complex problems.

That though caste discrimination causes significant harm and problems in the Indian and Indian diaspora communities, not every, "bad thing", stem from caste discrimination in specific.

The idea that sexism and other terrible things can be prevelant issues that need to be addressed better but they are not necessarily related to caste.
After a quick google search I can see some very controversial comments by Thenmozhi Soundararajan.

Hopefully the world is changing and demonising ones race, even if that race is white or Hindu, will soon be neither celebrated nor even acceptable.
The spring engine and community around it really is amazing, it has been around for such a long time and games on it like BAR are just plain damn good rts games.
Most of the benefits in your citation apply to general exercise as much as they do to sports. There may be some extra mental health benefit of team sports in particular but relative to simply being fit and having hobbies that involve other people, I don't think it's gargantuan. The most mentally healthy people I've known personally have been deeply invested in something outside of work; I've seen no association between apparent mental health and whether someone plays a sport (unless perhaps you define "sport" broadly to include running or biking noncompetitively).

> Never researched the mental health benefits from playing an instrument, though.

He is talking about ”minimum” so we can assume that pretty much everyone at Tesla is working past that amount of hours per week.

I don’t know all the places where Tesla operates but in some nations 40h per week is already overtime.
Haven't had time to explore much but is the solution always guaranteed?
We do have adjectives to distinguish things that other animals do. When a baby sucks on a teat it is mammalian. When turtle dives underwater then comes out on land to bathe, it is amphibious. When something takes flight it is avian.

Humans are unequivocally more advanced than other animals, so to represent those actions which wouldn't otherwise occur without human presence, we use the term "unnatural". It's a nice adjective - albeit in the context of transgender modification "unnatural" serves no scientific basis, it is just a descriptor, if that's what you're getting at.
After Trump's nativist rhetoric, a steady stream of police brutality against black men like George Floyd making national news, and a resurgence of white nationalist terrorism like the recent shooting in Buffalo, I agree we've been set back decades. But the blame doesn't lie with overzealous woke activists. Woke activists might make some white people more uncomfortable than tiki torch-wielding Caucasians chanting "Jews will not replace us" or Dylann Roof shooting up a black church, but that doesn't make them comparable in any way.
I don't know about US trains, but many European trains offer free Wifi. I hope the ones in the US do too.
There's no silver bullet. It's equally hard to determine when a manager is acting against subordinates because of petty grudges, or when a manager is acting against subordinates because they're bad at effectively telling subordinates what they want. I think that's kinda the job you sign up for when you choose to join higher-level management.
> On Reddit's /r/science board, there's a base rule that "criticism of published work should assume basic competence of the researchers and reviewers".

Since most studies/publications cant be replicated, I'd say basic competence is not warranted.
So, in the abstract, they say they controlled for "lifestyle" but then the researchers are paraphrased in the article as saying "This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower mortality risk among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine."

On the one hand I get what they're saying about their own study design, on the other hand, it might be good to get more info about lifestyle vs lifestyle.
Id still consider that to be too broad.

Something like admitting to, that you have done something criminal,and what, feels closer to the right definition for me.
I LOVE the simplicity of it!
Another good reason is if you find yourself on a no-fly list, without trial or recourse.
Realistically, these things are mainly used to pirate and break the ToS of various websites ("Netflix from other countries", "buy games at cheaper rates"). With ISPs in some countries selling their customers' browsing data to advertisers, I don't think these shady VPN companies are much worse than not using them for a shockingly large amount of people.

Mullvad seems to come out pretty clean whenever these shady VPN providers show up on the news again. Being able to use them by just transferring some crypto to the right address without even needing to enter a username or email address seems pretty good. If you ever forget your account number, you're out of a month's worth of service at most and can just generate a new account when needed. It's the only commercial VPN I put a moderate amount of trust in, even though I've never used their service.
> Criticism in general should be embraced, as nothing is perfect and we can always improve.

Honestly it depends on how that criticism is framed and who it's being directed towards. It reads differently if the criticism framed as "I care about you and want you to do better" versus "I dislike you and have developed a narrative that justifies mistreating you." It also matters whether the criticism is directed as feedback (e.g. "When you do X it makes me feel Y and I think doing Z would be better") vs. directed towards a third party to intervene in a prosecutorial way.

Maybe adding sugar allows you to drink more coffee.

Like how children medicine is sweetened to increase compliance.
One thing I don't see mentioned is that sourcehut users are taking the hit for hosting their code there. Some of it is because of natural tech activism and the coders need to create their desired order, but certainly there just typical bullying as well. Of course we're all just human, but I hope that retelling Drew's faults is not to justify any retaliation delivered to sourcehut users.

I consider drew a prolific coder who seems to be focused on all aspects relating to getting good code out of our brains. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he would come out with a new keyboard next.
I think sending in a 5 Eyes team to audit them would result in the VPN provider becoming a honeypot even if they weren't before!

The train does have free WiFi, but my experience with it is pretty bad. You're also often remote enough that you can't use a cellular hotspot, so I wouldn't ever travel on Amtrak assuming you'll have a reliable Internet connection the whole time.
Yes, given the likely outcome of raising the issue, including more discrimination against and negative rumors about trans people.

Or rather, no, like most things, it should be ignored until it's confirmed to have data. That is, things are not (true until fault is found), things are (non-true until factual support is provided).
You're right. It's changed - good.

However, you do not need to use custom policies - it's checkboxes on the S3 bucket creation page. And the wording on them is obtuse AF, and I know what I'm doing with AWS IAM.
In the same way that in the 90s you could not have immediately started having every major company start celebrating gay pride.

Cultural change takes time.

When you still have a practice occurring among over a billion people you can't simply throw it out and declare everyone doing it a bigot. You have to transition in steps and get buy in.

Put another way, you wouldn't march single handedly into Saudi Arabia and tell them Islamic law is dumb and they are dumb for following it.
I've been a caffeine user for my whole life - started drinking energy drinks as a kid, took caffeine powder/pills in college for studying, drank a lot of coffee at work - and I've stopped about a month ago.

I find that caffeine made me anxious, so much that all the energy wasn't even worth it anymore, as I couldn't focus on anything from anxiety. After stopping, my anxiety has went down so much that I feel I'm able to do much more work then before, even if I'm doing it slower, because I can just relax and focus on what I need to do, without being distracted by every single intrusive thought I have and without the crash that inevitably comes every day after caffeine wears off.

I don't care about "health benefits" of coffee, to be honest. Caffeine is a crappy drug (for me), so nowdays I only save it for situations where I have to stay awake for longer than I usually can.
The Logic of Strategic Assets: From Oil to AI
If a manager is acting against an emoloyee, someone should ask very pointed questions why. If caste might be at play, yes, saidanager ahould get a very stern talk from his superiors and HR explaining how this behaviour is unacceptable.
I'm on a 2015 MB Air with two browsers running, probably a dozen tabs between them, three tabs in iTerm2, Outlook, Word, and Teams running.

Perl 5.18.0 gives me 3.5 MiB per second. Perl 5.28.3, 5.30.3, and 5.34.0 gives 4 MiB per second.

perl5.34.0 -e 'while (){ print 1 }' | pv > /dev/null

For Python 3.10.4, I get about 2.8 MiB/s as you have it written, but around 5 MiB/s (same for 3.9 but only 4 MiB/s for 3.8) with this. I also get 4.8 MiB/s with 2.7:

python3 -c 'while (1): print (1)' | pv > /dev/null

If I make Perl behave like yes and print a character and a newline, it has a jump of its own. The following gives me 37.3 MiB per second.

perl5.34.0 -e 'while (){ print "1\n" }' | pv > /dev/null

Interestingly, using Perl's say function (which is like a Println) slows it down significantly. This version is only 7.3 MiB/s.

perl5.34.0 -E 'while (1) {say 1}' | pv > /dev/null

Go 1.18 has 940 KiB/s with fmt.Print and 1.5 MiB/s with fmt.Println for some comparison.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
for ;; {
fmt.Println("1")
}
}

These are all macports builds.
