Wouldn't it be trivial to create a female privilege checklist? For example, while women may be asked to smile by random people (44), they are murdered by random people far less often than men, representing only 21% of victims. Or, while females spend more time grooming than men (27), they are much less likely to have their genitals mutilated as infants by mothers who do not like the way they look.

There can be some things in society that do not appeal to women. There are certainly things that women find appealing that most men are not at all interested in.

I always kind of thought that young geeks used comic books to escape their reality. This is just a guess, but could it be that some geeks are awkward around women because females weren't nice to them during their adolescence? Sex hormone levels peak at around age 17 for men, senior year of high school. Is it really that unexpected that men that get no positive female attention during their sexual prime don't embrace women exploring geek hobbies?

Perhaps the focus of all these stupid gender articles should be on encouraging young women not to alienate a large subset of people. I would be willing to bet that if geeks were more accepted at an earlier age, many of the perceived gender issues would disappear.

You're thinking about the word privilege in the wrong way. When you use the term in a social justice setting you need to stop thinking about all the possible meanings and focus on a very few specific ones. (Think of the word in the same way you think of class when you are talking about programming, it has a specific meaning, trying to make privilege mean more then it does makes you look like you are trying to argue semantics).

When we talk about privilege in a social justice setting you want to think about the privilege of being the default. Ignore every other privilege and think about that one in particular. You point out all the downsides of that privilege in your post, which are all true and valid, which is why calling whiteness and maleness a privilege breaks our brains a bit. It's not unadulterated good, there are a lot of bad things that come about due to the default of maleness and masculinity.

Lets look at the idea that you put forward about Weakness, how in women it's ok, and in males it's not ok.

In males it's not ok because it violates the default maleness that is expected (a negative aspect of the default maleness), and in females it is ok because it goes along with the !default of femaleness.

When you start thinking of privilege not as things that you get for being male, but about expectations of the world, what we view the default as, and what we view the other as, the idea that male privilege could be bad for males and females makes more sense. In a lot of ways the word privilege is a crappy way to put it, because it makes us think about things that are privileges in our lives, not the privilege of being the default.
That's why I said "in theory". If there is an argument that YouTube would be liable for damages, following the rules of the DMCA would have given them immunity. By not following those rules, they lose that immunity.

1) The OP made the claim that our genes carry our experiences onto our children. I've never experienced that and AFAIK it doesn't happen.

2) Raising a child doesn't give the child your experiences either. I have no memory of what my father experienced in his life based on him raising me. AFAIK it doesn't happen to other people either.

> 1. My odds of being hired for a job, when competing against female applicants, are probably skewed in my favor. The more prestigious the job, the larger the odds are skewed. > 2. I can be confident that my co-workers won’t think I got my job because of my sex – even though that might be true.

I remember a discussion on HN where many of the comments have said that the best way to bring women into the industry is to bring women into the industry. Quite true, I definitely agree to it. And so does most of the companies - they all try to maintain a gender ratio that is not too skewed to make the firm look sexist. But, when one tries to bring a category X into a field where X is rare, to bring them in - it results in lowering expectations from them. I just had my placement season on campus (I am a final year student) - the difference was visible. Of course, that makes me look sexist (I possibly am) when I say that the expectations from male students to get a job was higher than female students. Female students are, at least now, rewarded for being rare and because women are required to be brought in the industry. Unfortunately, there are pros and cons to this approach. These steps result in unavoidable animosity because of scarcity of resources - in this case, a lucrative job. My point is that you cannot have the best of both worlds: any corrective action has consequences.
this part of the standard is not fully thought through

I agree... and this terrifies me, given that EINTR is mentioned in the man page for close(2) back in BSD Net/2, over 20 years ago.
This is a good example but more generally it is hardly possible to write serious long running and reliable software targeting posix in general...
I always loved to learn new programming languages but for the first time I feel like I want to be more conservative.

It seems there are two kinds of new languages. The ones that inspire new thinking about problems but never catch on, and the ones that are small variations of C/Java, inspire no new thinking whatsoever but still cause lots of boring transition issues if they catch on.
When a specification says "unspecified", it doesn't mean "unknown at runtime, could be anything nondeterministically". It only means that the standard did not specify the result.

Sure. But if you want to write portable code, this means you can't assume any particular behaviour.

If you never want to run on anything except recent versions of linux, life is much easier for you. But some of us don't like being so limited.
Charged who? The person being called? That would open them up to a pretty trivial attack - call their answering machine with something other than a name. The person calling? Usually you would do this from a pay phone (Remember those?) - so no luck there.

In my case, it was BC Tel, and I don't ever recall anyone ever getting charged throughout my college existence.
Network providers should think upon decreasing the cost of SMS instead of complaining about missed calls. It would give them the opportunity to monetise as well as free up the network to some extent.

And as for the 'missed call' culture, it's either used mostly by students or the poor peoples (a bitter truth of most Indians), in either of the case, it is mostly likely that none of them uses smart phones that can handle applications as mentioned in the comments here.

> I think the author of this post simply doesn't know what "unspecified" means.

I'm pretty confident Colin Percival knows what "unspecified" means. I suspect he also knows how it's different from "implementation-defined" (also pointed out in the thread you link to), and how it means that, officially, we don't even have a way to determine what an implementation does, because they don't have to document their choice.

SA_RESTART is also not a guaranteed solution for someone trying to be standards-compliant, since it's part of the XSI extensions, which may not be present or otherwise required for the application.

For such core functionality, this is a dangerous bit of ambiguity.
More like: "Let's evolve the web".

Nobody is going to write a website that doesn't render well across the major browsers, so anyone who codes in Dart will just configure their site to either serve Dart->JS converted code or Dart depending on if the user is in Chrome.

End result? Web keeps working just as it always has. Chrome users get a better experience, but non-Chrome users get a similar experience to what they already get.

If this drives more people towards Chrome -- good. Maybe that will convince other browser manufacturers to get off their asses and either really evolve JavaScript to be competitive (instead of the constant chants of 'Just wait until the next version... going to be awesome then!'), or just adopt Dart.

The web evolving is much more important than mindlessly following existing "standards". Nothing good ever comes from formal standardization processes... the best we can hope for is standardization after the fact.

JavaScript itself was something Netscape threw into Navigator, the standardization came later. Same exact situation (possibly) as Dart, if it is successful. This is a good thing.

If Dart can't beat JS on the merits, it will die because developers won't adopt it. If it can beat JavaScript on the merits, then good on it, competition is a good thing. Remember?
"I think the value of social network based games" - there are different concepts of value. One is a present value calculation of future profits. The other is market capitalization. The first might be what the OP was referring to. The second is subject to all sorts of shenanigans that makes shorting risky unless you know what you are doing. (Speaking as someone who has been on the wrong side of a short squeeze of an equity that came crashing down shortly after I covered when the bleeding just got to bad)
E-Mail Inventor: Use Technology to Overhaul USPS
A generalized, dynamic-language friendly bytecode to replace Javascript would be great. Please let me choose to use Python for client-side web without resorting to language cross-translation hacks.

Find the commonalities between Ruby, Python and Javascript and such (there are a lot!) and base the VM on that. "Legacy" javascript can then run in the existing VM. For JS, people can choose to compile it or let the browser compile it.

On the other hand I don't like NaCL at all. Even with all the security measures, there is just too much risk in executing native code directly from the web. Also it splits up platforms, splitting the client world into x86 and ARM, instead of allowing for innovation in CPU-land by exposing are more abstract interface. It is a repeat of the "browser plugin" paradigm, which luckily failed.

Here at hacker news there seems to exist an obsession on how to hire the 10x programmers and how to build great teams.

I'm submitting this link because I'm really tired to read blog posts filled with anecdotes and making claims because some "scrum master" or whatever said so and so.
I used to think this and it's not true. The takeaway is to when you interact with people think about what your interaction is doing to the other person, on many levels.

Feeling bad is A) crappy and B) not productive.

Whatever you do when you read an article like this is you shouldn't feel bad about being male, and you shouldn't feel bad about the fact that you are a privileged class. You should recognize the ways that privilege can cause the people around you to be uncomfortable and then avoid doing those things. There isn't a list of actions you can take, other then treat everybody in a way that makes them feel welcome. Nobody wants to be leered at in a technical setting, nobody wants to be groped in a classroom (true story), and everybody wants to be treated like they are your peer.
Zartis raises funding
My first reaction to the thread-safety problem: fstat before close, if it fails with EINTR, fstat again. Then you can tell both the state of the fd (since fstat will return EBADF if it's closed), and if it's still a valid fd, what file it actually refers to. So if another thread did open() and reallocate the same fd number, you'll get a different struct stat back, and then know not to retry the close.

As in:

int safeclose(int fd)
{
struct stat before, after;

if (fstat(fd,&before))
return -1;

while (close(fd)) {
if (errno != EINTR)
return -1;

/* If fstat() fails, our close() succeeded */
if (fstat(fd,&after))
return 0;

/* If we've got a different file, our close() succeeded */
if (before.st_dev != after.st_dev
|| before.st_ino != after.st_ino /* whatever other necessary checks here... */)
return 0;
/* Otherwise we've got the same file still open, retry */
}

return 0;
}

Any problems/races I'm not seeing? Is comparing 'struct stat' potentially not 100% reliable?

So says the sites' FAQ:

> You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page.

The ability to decide what Stack Overflow is and isn't is what makes it a community, and not a jumble like Yahoo Answers.

And the specifics of closing questions don't have the violence of Wikipedia deletions. I don't approve of deleting user-contributed content, especially when it takes effort to build; closing on SO removes linking to the question, adds a little explanatory blurb, and diverts new attention away from the question. It doesn't destroy user contributions.

That's funny, but not insightful. I assume that with pants, you don't mean plain jeans, but a pantsuit (because this isn't the 60's).

There are pantsuits designed for women, but no dresses designed for men. Even further than that - a dress is very specific to female anatomy in a way that a suit isn't, to male anatomy.

The real issue, however, is that a woman wearing a suit is perceived in a certain way (as aggressive and, funnily enough, "only imitating men") while a man wearing a dress happens to be an often frequented motif in comedy.

Finally, a man can wear a dress specifically to underline just how male he is, because "even a dress can't take that manliness away".

It looks like if the other thread opened the same file you might get a false positive.

struct stat {
dev_t st_dev; /* ID of device containing file */
ino_t st_ino; /* inode number */
mode_t st_mode; /* protection */
nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links */
uid_t st_uid; /* user ID of owner */
gid_t st_gid; /* group ID of owner */
dev_t st_rdev; /* device ID (if special file) */
off_t st_size; /* total size, in bytes */
blksize_t st_blksize; /* blocksize for file system I/O */
blkcnt_t st_blocks; /* number of 512B blocks allocated */
time_t st_atime; /* time of last access */
time_t st_mtime; /* time of last modification */
time_t st_ctime; /* time of last status change */
};

The only one of these likely to change is st_atime, but I don't think that's guaranteed to update. (I think different behaviours can be compiled into the linux kernel, including "only update atime if it equals ctime or mtime".)
True, hadn't thought of that. (Seems obvious in retrospect, of course.)

It's almost tempting to try to differentiate that with st_atime, but I don't think there's any way that could be reliable (especially given noatime mounts and such).
Three obvious problems, actually:

1) Thread A closes fd X for File Y, Thread B opens fd X for File Y. Thread A sees fd X referring to File Y, closes it again out from under Thread B.

2) Since the behavior is unspecified, it's possible you could have fd X briefly continue to point to File Y. This could lead to a case where your fstat() results cease to be valid by the time you run close() again.

3) fd doesn't have to be a normal on-disk file, and POSIX is somewhat vague about what the stat struct's values are for the various possible types of "file".

No, I mean regular old jeans. Women seem to be able to "get away" with wearing "female" clothing, as well as "male" clothing without any questions asked. At least in the circles I am in^. The opposite is certainly not the case.

I was not attempting to be funny at all.

^And anybody wearing a "suit"-anything is just a stiff. The people I consider my peers don't do that either at work or casually.

And if they don't, the cost of supporting this "straightforward" Hadoop infrastructure, both in terms of hardware, engineering and support, is so massive that the little elbow grease for a simple I-know-what-it-does solution may well be worth it.

That's not true. A small cluster and support from a company like Cloudera is much less than an new Oracle install.
You could try MaxCDN. They're cheaper than S3 in terms of bandwidth.

And if that's not enough. You could try getting a server at 100tb.com. They have VPS servers or dedicated servers for serving a lot of bandwidth for relatively cheap.

Eh, just because females have advantages in some domains doesn't mean that their overall advantages in life are outweighed by the overall male advantages in life. Stuff like the salary gap, stereotype threat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype_threat), and being expected to give up your career to be the one to raise the kids affect most adult women for most of their lives. Murder is a pretty rare event, and men, as the traditionally more risk-taking sex, could be bringing quite a bit of it down on themselves. I'd take the increased chance of murder, personally.
"At some point they are discussing whether they are ascending or descending, while the stall alarm is blaring throughout. I don't think anyone will consider making the stall alarm go "Stall! Losing attitude!"."

Yep, but your missing the fact that they didn't believe it was actually stalled or about to stall. They thought that was impossible since normally the fly-by-wire protects against it, so that warning can safely be ignored. That is why they ignored it. It's kind of like the boy that cried wolf. Normally, the warning can be ignored and so when it started sounding when it really mattered, they ignored it. Maybe interlacing "Stall! Stall Protection Disengaged!" (when in alt mode) and "Stall! Push Stick Forward!" (when stick back) is the ideal solution.
