Both of these issues...were they brought to you by people who want to stop climate change? Or were they brought to you by the people who do not care about climate change?

Starvation and poverty are being created by the same systems and short sighted thinking that are bringing on climate change. It is a truth that the human population should have never become this large. And how did that happen? With technology and capitalism.
More people than you might think.

The whole idea of shodan:

and I wouldn't be so sure about many people having learned that every time you provide some means of remote access you are introducing a (huge) vulnerability.
Realistically an Amazon-wide union is the only way Amazon workers are going to get decent wage increases. If the USA is going to allow manufacturers to outsource the majority of well-paid (~$30/hr avg) manufacturing jobs to Mexico and China, without having any cross-border capital flow penalities (neoliberal globalism in a nutshell), then the major employers like Amazon and Walmart are going to have to double their wages.

Yes, that means less for the executives and shareholders. They may have to sell some of their properties, oh dear.
I assume that the statement terminator was chosen first, so they could've used something else for member access, such as `\`. Though I don't know about floats.
Talk to your local government. We were in the same situation, and it turns out Comcast was legally required to service our house, they just didn’t want to (because of the expense). A few days after getting the government involved we had a trenching crew on-site.
Not headed for Rome right now, but I’ll archive that comment for when I do. Thanks for the suggestions!
I’m interested to learn what “first-class functions” means to you. Ruby has both `Proc` and `Method` which would appear to qualify. Is your frustration that you can’t `def foo … end` and then use bare `foo` to refer to it as a value (vs invoking it)?
If I hazarded a guess, this might have not gone through their legal department first.
Are you able to form mental images in your head? I'm wondering if people who can't have more trouble with such things.

Most likely can’t be fixed by an extension and also to the parent poster, Firefox can’t strip this info out because the encoded string (how I read the original question) includes the actual metadata about what’s to be displayed. Looks like fb won this round.
It is arguably "good design" because tags are infinitely extensible whereas attributes are not.

For example in the case the author supplied imagine if you wanted to add a compression type to a member. Your only choice would be an attribute which means that it can only be a string.

<struct>
<member name="faultCode"><int>-123</int></member>
<member name="faultString"><string>some fault</string></member>
</struct>

If in the original you could add a new element inside the member like

<compression>
<algorithm>zstd</algorithm>
<dictionary>dict7</dictionary>
</compression>

Not the best example but the point stands. Of course the complaint is valid because while extensibility is valuable you need to weigh it against the cost of the verbosity (both in use and for developers).
In my experience, this can be due to poorly designed/functioning HVAC systems. My office is regularly in the sixties while the guy on the opposite side of the building is sweating.
Right, but the entropy is literally zero in my opinion.
I agree with the comment that Amazon is fucking nasty, but I don't think a comment just stating that is adding a lot to the conversation. More well thought out comments are usually more interesting, so I'd downvote it myself for that, even though I do agree with the sentiment.
obviously amazon doesn't have a real case against unions, but they can try to use scary language to confuse people

Technology and capitalism lowered the under-5 mortality rate in my home country from 1 in 4 in my dad’s generation to 3 in 100 today.

Inflation was (likely) caused by central bank money printing to bankroll social spending.
What do you mean by “property or function”, though?

There are no properties or functions in my view—only messages. object.message sends message to object, which object may or may respond to.
> Efficiency alone almost certainly will not allow us to avoid climate catastrophe, due to the Jevons Paradox:

Meh, it depends.

Having a light bulb that uses 15W instead of 100W to illuminate a room is certainly a win. There's only so many lights that you'd put in a given area to achieve the same result, even if you add more for aesthetic reasons: there's only so many lumens that are useful in an area.

Furnaces and water heaters are now >90% efficient, and given that they (direct) vent from the outside, and exhaust to the outside increases safety and air leakage. Do you add more heaters and furnaces to a house because each is more efficient.

Cars are more efficient, and yet total annual distance driven (in the US) seems to have plateaued and fallen over the last decade or so:

Children.

Women leave tech jobs because children are more than a full time job and are more rewarding than twiddling bits around. If they have a husband that can provide for them they will stay out until the children move out. They will only start looking for work again then.

So if you want to have an equal number of women in the work force be prepared to take on 40something and 50something women with a decades long gap in their career.

What's fruitless?

There's an overlap in articles like this. There's many things I relate to and some thing I don't. For instance, in the piece she talks about micro aggressions:

Being spoken over or interrupted at meetings.
Sharing an idea that gets no traction, only for a man to share the same idea ten minutes later and be applauded.
Being asked to supply lunch at a partner meeting when I am the only woman in the room.

Other than the last point (I've never been given access to order lunch for my team, though I have a purchase card, my use of it is regulated to hell and fear mongered), the rest of these points are not only salient but relatable. It's what's driven me mad some days; the only defense I have with people like this is that I got good at finding a way to tell people they exhaust me in the most kind manner possible. If I don't, I'm looked at like an asshole regardless of what led up to the event.

What she says about promotions is the same. On paper, I'm a very successful and young-for-my-level engineer. I've also never been promoted. I've driven multiple operating system transitions across multiple companies, I've led the way with higher coding standards, focuses on developer experience that had discernable improvement in productivity and happiness. Yet, not a single promotion.

I can go on, but my point is, if you pay attention to what she's saying and you solve the things women are talking about then the impact you'll feel is going to be pretty universal.

I might just have low standards, but I never really feel as disappointed as a lot of the community seems to be whenever there's a live action adaptation - be it of Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop or something else.

It's sometimes interesting to see how certain aspects of the original are carried over or changed in the live action. Also, Cowboy Bebop was just pretty to look at!

You have to pay based on your max earning potential (the more stressful job) so if you take a less stressful, lower paying job you may have no money left to live on at all.

I suppose I don't see how this is a lack of representation. 1:1 would be an overrepresentation. If you account for the existing distribution across the workforce it's closer to an equitable representation. You'd expect women in management roles to be roughly proportional to the percentage of women in tech.

I am not disagreeing the supply side squeeze but this has been happening since 2020. If you look at container flow stat it is clear as early as 2021 we had severe clogging issues. The problem was the narrative back then from Fed was that this is all transitory. They didn’t act.
> Being spoken over or interrupted at meetings.

I observe this so much in meetings. It happens a lot, it isn't malice, but it keeps happening. I don't really know how to deal with it. I sometimes call it out... only once in a while. But I try not to do too much, because I (through overthinking things, maybe?) don't want to undermine women standing up for themselves and also my callouts just becoming noise.

Can't tell truth and lies at the same time.

Or can you? I haven't actually given the idea serious thought.
Hustle is probably an overloaded word in this context. I don't think you'll find a lot of people who say "hustle" in the abstract is bad. What you will probably find--especially among older better-off people--is a certain distaste for trying to aggressively turn everything into a side-hustle and monetization opportunity.

mrits: "You guys love the police union too, right? Right???"

The general idea, yeah. It proves how strong a union can be.

The implementation? No. A union for people who have monopoly on violence? No. A union that protects people who are actively hurting civilians without recourse? No.
You are in fantasy land if you think solar and wind could replace fossil fuels. Battery tech is (hopefully) a decade away and you can’t get over transmission issues to cloudier places.

The correct answer is nuclear and investing in our own fossil fuel industry.

Furthermore you are advocating for supply side economics. Totally agree - we need to cut taxes massively on business and encourage everything we can do for the private sector to invest in more supply production - of everything! But the left endlessly attacks business and sees them as the enemy, which results in less production and higher prices.

Fantasy land everywhere.
I like a good conspiracy theory as much as anyone, but is it really so hard to believe that people could object to abortion on religious grounds? I agree that anyone rich would have little problem flying to a state where abortion is legal though.
Not the OP, but I'm in the US and.. it's complicated. I would say, in general, meats like lamb and, especially, veal have fallen out of favor due to the perceived poor conditions and youth of the animals. Rabbit isn't common in the US (it's not generally available in stores) but the "cuteness" factor plays a role here as well. This has changed since the 80's when lamb and veal were more popularly consumed. I'm guessing PETA's work has moved the needle in this area.

Living in Minnesota, however, wild game is more widely consumed so things like duck, geese, pheasant, etc. aren't seen as odd or offensive.

Horse is considered taboo for consumption in the US.

I would say, in general, Americans can be turned off a meat source if it is perceived to have produced from poor conditions or is "cute". This, however, does not apply to beef, chicken, or pork. (Though you can squeeze a few more bucks out of people by calling something "free range").
Aren't other non-US states also in inflation?
Not too many men go into nursing because caring roles are often ascribed to women and because they have a harder time fitting in (especially in caring jobs that involve children).

We just don't usually make a big deal out of it because society values nursing much less economially (and, arguably, socially - save for a few clapping fits during early COVID).

Please just hit the hide button if all you want to do is deliver snark and even admit to not reading the article.
What I've never received is an explanation of why we expect women and men to equally represented in all positions across the economy, but are ok with prisoners being close to 10:1 in favor of men.

An old sentiment, but I liked that it defines the difference between a product (even connected, you own it) and a “service artifact” (an object that exists as an interface to a service).
One annoyance: it looks like their p-values weren't adjusted for multiple comparisons, which seems like a problem given the number of different comparisons they made in e.g. the fMRI results.

If I'm doing my math right: if they applied the Bonferroni or Sidak corrections to the fMRI results, then only one of those comparisons would still be significant.

Rabbit, Duck, and Lamb are all pretty common meats to eat in the US. Usually in finer dining, but I've never seen anyone raise an eyebrow at these. Horse, on the other hand...
You were so close to getting it right...

Clearly we need to encourage men to go into nursing!

Yes, we do. When there aren't enough people doing a job we need to encourage anyone who wants to do that job to apply regardless of any stereotypes or biases people have. Male nurses, women dev managers, whatever. We also need to work hard to retain people who are leaving because they feel unwelcome - losing people just wastes talent. That's true for nurses as much as it is for tech.

At the time, the point was simple, non-binary RPC calls. I'm pretty sure that the spec came from a hacked up client and server, then frozen, with all warts intact. I'd be surprised if the initial (and final) spec had more than a handful of weeks of actual work in it. At the time, it did mostly work, and it did enable an explosion of connectivity in the early weblog adjacent world.

SOAP was basically XML-RPC++, with namespaces, 4 part harmony, and 8x10 color glossy photographs. It's the codification of XML-RPC adding all of those XML features, data types, and interface definitions. It's also a miracle if there's any interop between different stacks.

> I am not sure how the method of installation plays a role

It does, because it means I cannot just install Linux on the machine. I have to have macOS installed and running first, then and only then can I install Linux. It makes the hardware dependent on macOS, even if I just wanna run Linux.

Other computers you can have literally nothing on it, and then get Windows or Linux running on it (or macOS even).

I didn't make that list myself, it's from the official Asahi website. And I'm not gonna argue against you if each item on the list has a big impact or not. I'm generally a fan of Asahi (and I donate to their efforts each month), I was just putting it out there to show that there are actually a bunch of "drawbacks" (more like missing features) than people in this comment thread is letting on.
This is incorrect as Asahi Linux can also be installed from macOS Recovery, which is the Apple UEFI equivalent.

I am not sure if the article was very convincing. 72 women being promoted to managerial roles for 100 men doesn't quite support "Women developers hoping to move into management have far fewer role models who look like them than their male counterparts" - the numbers presented imply that 3 out of 7 will be women.

The prescriptions are a bit worse. I have absolutely no interest in sharing details about my private life in a work setting; nor do I like being forced to socialize.

The fundamental problem (in my opinion) remains one that PG mentioned nearly ten years ago:

"If someone was going to be really good at programming they would have found it on their own. Then if you go look at the bios of successful founders this is invariably the case, they were all hacking on computers at age 13. What that means is the problem is 10 years upstream of us."

"It's already too late. What we should be doing is somehow changing the middle school computer science curriculum or something like that. God knows what you would do to get 13-year-old girls interested in computers. I would have to stop and think about that."

What I really want to see is a general purpose query engine. This has some of the features but I want to see features like:

- Very easy to model HTTP APIs as a table.

- Easy to model basically anything as a table for example files on my filesystem.

- Optional caching to make development quicker (don't need to hit external services for every iteration).

- The ability to build up my own personal library of "tables" or "graphs" over time in an incremental way.

- A decent query planner so that I can avoid expensive things (like API calls) if I can determine if I need the object based on something cheaper (like a local disk access).

- Ideally a language more compostable than SQL so that I can define common filters and views that can be shared across queries.

I think the main fundamental difference is that this wants all of the data upfront in a data file. I want something that is easy to extend to sources that are possibly non-listable or at the very least I don't want to have all of the data available.

IIUC this is possible with something like a Postgres or Sqlite foreign data wrapper but IIUC the optimization isn't always great and they are difficult to write.
From the inside, it can feel like there are actually too many rules. The interviewer is likely running a fairly narrow script. The interviewer probably believes they are being fair or generous when allowing minor deviations from their structure.

From the outside, it all feels random: unless you know the rules the interview is playing by, you can easily make a mistake. Each place has a different interview script and priorities.
