I read it. All of it.

At best this seems like a proposal for a paper rather than a paper. In fact, the authors continue to talk about things like "Our paper also aims to explore such diversification" 80% of the way though their work. I'll save you the suspense, they never create an actual "Case for Feminism in Programming Language Design".

Having read it all I don't see "A Case for Feminism in Programming Language Design". I see a descriptive rant that qualitative == masculine == bad and that it is not "fair" that top journals don't publish quantitative, ethnographic, diary based research. There seems to be nothing about feminism here either other than it being the self appointed champion of all diversity. Really this paper could exist almost as is with any modern topic grafted onto it as it is so generic.

Ill give the authors kudos though as do point out that many aspects of computing have their beginnings based on the works of women or women dominated fields like knitting and the incredible works of Admiral Hopper but that only seems to diminish their arguments.

All in all, I can't believe this was published by a peer reviewed journal.
Most of my siblings are blue collar workers. I'm one of two technology workers in my family, and I'm just a lowly Sysadmin.

So I've always been concerned for them. But I understand your point.
Yeah. The Highway Code Rule 264: Keep in the left lane unless overtaking.

There are a lot of circumstances where this looks ridiculous though. Tons of cars driving on, say, M25 will cram into the leftmost lane while the other two will be empty. Then you'll deal with cars constantly joining from the left every couple miles. Then sometimes leftmost lane will leave left and the road continue as two lanes for some time. Then overtaking cars will fill the gap in front of you and you'll need to slow down to keep the following distance of two secs.

As a foreigner living in the UK for the last 3 years, I generally like how the driving rules are laid out and how people drive. But this totally misses the point.
I work in a small team, we have ~30 active clients and other ~100 or so that are low maintenance or dormant.

We don't have an on-call rotation but I desperately want one. Because if no one is on-call - then all of us are on-call. Any one of us could be called at any time if one of our larger commerce projects falls over.

To me on-call is a necessary burden that means when I'm not on duty I am completely free to ignore my phone.

I'll certainly feel more positive about helping outside of the 9-5. I do like to be helpful, but perhaps that'll wear off like some kind of honeymoon period, juxtaposed to my current situation.

I'm always looking for more positives in such a system because I want it to work. Tuesday to Tuesday sounds great. Other comments here highlight the difference between critical fixes and patch it laters. Any other insights are welcome.
I had the same question, especially that the researchers are from a western "enemy" country. It's impressive the length researchers go to, well, research.

The pedestrian guy did not hear the Tesla. And the Tesla was really that close. I saw it and thought what the heck is happening - even if the road is yours, why would you choose to drive that close to a pedestrian - who at any time can choose to stop or to turn around. It's stupid, because if the Tesla would even slightly touch the pedestrian, it would be a serious problem for the driver.

I looked at the Tesla driver, then the pedestrian noticed something is wrong and then noticed the Tesla, too, and left the lane.

This is a very risky and reckless driving behavior. I've seen such behavior from young guys wanting to impress or some stupid drivers with fast cars who things the roads are belong to them. The Tesla driver was about 50y old.

I've should have made a video and post it here. No one believes me :)

Clunky desktop computers connected to the internet in the 90s were already an easy mode. It's a weird point in time to pull the ladder up. I wonder if the people in the 70s shared the same sentiment.

I, for one, am glad the networks became easier and more accessible. I wouldn't be here otherwise.
Very much feel that sentiment.

I'm grinding to start a cooperative company with a non-abusive work philosophy.

I have respect for the people I collaborate with. It's easy. Yet so many managers and business owners rely on explicit abuse and manipulation... for what?
I also agree with this. They should have to fly commercial like the rest of us, but I can't control what they do.

When I just started out, I used to take everybody's on-call service because it paid well. Also had the advantage that I learned the ropes quicker. Now-a-days I'm very happy to not be awoken at 3am, even if 1 weekend incident would amount to a couple grand.
Why would they do it during the off state? If they know the voltage and can measure the current that they're driving it with -- or vice versa -- they can use Ohm's law to calculate the resistance.

They'd probably have to do that anyway.

How about building an electric guitar? I made one when I was 17. It does require some special tools. Stewart Mac is a great resource for information and parts/equipment. Check out their book. https://www.stewmac.com/luthier-tools-and-supplies/supplies/...

Building a fender-style guitar first is the easiest route, especially if you use a double-truss neck rod (get it from Stewart Mac). I recommend buying a pre-cut fret board as well. Also, you can use tung oil instead of clear coating. Trying to do an opaque spray job was my biggest regret. I could have oiled my beautiful mahogany body with much better results.

Tools:

* Flexible edge (for pegboard and body profile https://shop.pacificarc.us/products/flexible-edge-curves)

* Bandsaw (body and neck shape)

* Drill Press

* Router (For the neck and body cavities)

* Thickness planer (only need this once to plane the body wood before gluing)

* Curved carving knife (Like this https://ramelson.com/product/curved-hook-carving-knife/) to profile the neck.

* Pipe clamps

Nice to have tools:

* Oscillating spindle sander

* Belt sander

* Router table

I recommend using an easy to work wood like maple for the first attempt. I found mahogany to be a lot of effort to work. Expect the project to take quite a wile. I think mine took 200 hours.
Honestly, I don't understand why the threshold for war seems to be ground invasion. If you're shooting missiles at another country, that's war too. Israel is at war with Syria, Iran, and Lebanon imo. Not to mention Hamas.
In a terminal, what does `dig www.verbeeld.be` return for you?
Try a different browser. Maybe your ad blocker is breaking their website. I just clicked "Help with something else" > "I need more help" > a chat popup window appeared, I typed "human" > I clicked "Yes" > I clicked "Connect with a Customer Service Associate" . Easy. I think a form of Hanlon's razor applies here "Don't attribute a wildly sensational change in policy from a famously customer centered company, what could more easily be explained by a browser glitch".
If you read the entire article you will get to the problem: the rapid information dissemination tech has provided ...

> there is a worrying trend of Tech veering strongly to the right and using the money they get from us and our data for questionable causes.

Tech may have ... not given the election outcome leftists wanted. Twice! It now appears tech will not lead to a communist/socialist utopia, and so they are now the enemy. And so, they will, read the paragraph after this statement:

> The point of all of this is to say: the tech utopia fantasy is truly dead to me. The image of the cool, hippie, leftist Silicon Valley tech is wrong. The companies themselves and the VC’s they take money from are supporting values and governments that do not act in your best interest and do not even align with their marketing image. Don’t be further misled. Stop giving them your money, time and data as much as possible for you. They won't bring us closer to these ideals they promise.

This paragraph comes after more than a page of text pointing out that tech DID in fact, bring a lot of parts, some would say most, of tech utopia.

Frankly, I'm pretty damn sure that the actors responsible for the swing to the right are not FANGs, and not even Twitter. The fact that the world has changed and that China, Russia and Iran ... and "that" ideology's extremists ... have started cooperating and have become a real, serious threat to the lives of billions of people, and are actively killing millions ... I feel that has a lot more to do with the current situation than either Facebook or Amazon. Combined with the failure of governments to keep the economic growth of the past 10 years going (e.g. housing, ...)
> "Viral infections may trigger long-term and persistent impairment in one's immune system," says Avik Roy, chief scientific officer at the non-profit Simmaron Research

This is also true in a very direct and literal way, where a Measles infection can make you vulnerable again to past diseases, because of the immune cells it attacks.
Crime would be a fraction of what it is now due to a massive shifting in incentives and societal landscape, and probably dealt with very differently when it does occur instead of turning it into its own for-profit industry (with some of the lowest paid labor among prisoners). Knee jerk reactionary notions of "justice" begin to look very primitive through a materialist lens.

> Marxist organisations are not so known for their transparency btw.

Marxism offers a timeless framework and does not require subscriptions or other grifts. That the latter exists does not invalidate the former. It's just example 100539 of what my previous reply was getting at.

> I don't want to change humans.

Humans deserve better opportunities than most presently have, and than most will seemingly have on our current trajectory into late stage capitalist madness. We should acknowledge/embrace our flaws to see commonality (which is different than being ashamed, proud of, or profiting off of them).
If most people in your company are on s, your management is probably breaking the laws and is not the sort of person who appreciates honest communication.
> Fission power remains uncompetitive with natural gas; you’d have to convince Western consumers to bear higher prices for reduced emissions which nobody is willing to do.

I was mainly reacting to this. Can nuclear really not compete with gas even if the government subsidized both equally? (with all the caveats that come with comparing subsidies)

In this ~40yo case, I'm guessing it was more of a "I got into a very prestigious state university because I busted my butt in high school and I've learned that CS is a high growth industry."

The talented and hard working folks got in and found that studying algorithms at the beginning of the 3rd year from a textbook was doable, but designing and implementing a significant software system (or tweaking an operating system) in the 4th year is a whole other level.

It's just that software design and engineering is really a unique beast. I mean, it is the most difficult engineering on the planet, because every single other industry and discipline depends upon it.
Ugg. I'd like to hope that Matt had hired better legal advice.

> the concept of people thinking of their clones as children is wild

I dont think so. The clones would be children in every sense that matters to society. They grow up to be adults, like any other human and with the disclaimer that early experiments will have genetic problems. Cloning is a go-to strategy for situations where traditional/assisted procreation is failing catastrophically or unavailable (eg spacefaring colonies that are sterilized mid-transit).

Treating specific genetic sequences as a legally special class, is a different discussion that arises in treating clones as something other than children, as they are literally descendants.

Annual National Minimum Doctoral Stipend, currently £19,237 + £2000 London allowance for 2024/25. Doctoral stipends have been standardised across all the universities for as long as I have known (20+ years).
All fair points.

There's a lot you can do, especially to use your resources to help others, as your mother did, while also enjoying life.

I wasn't saying early retirement is bad; I'd love to do it myself. But rather the question is, what am I willing to give up to achieve that goal. What is the opportunity cost. Maybe you're lucky and there's hardly any. But often it's your children who pay the price (as in the comment I was replying to). Or you yourself pay the price with suffering from significant stress, anxiety and unhappiness.

Why not enjoy life earlier, and especially with your children, and then just work longer.

I've turned down more money because I knew that it came with strings attached of more work and stress, and I didn't want that for myself or my family whom it would most certainly impact. So, I'll have less money for retirement and I'll have to work a few years longer. But I want to be happy _now_ not just when I'm old.
When you think you're removing sexism, just to bring it back.
One of the main characters in Hackers was a woman and she was portrayed as the best, or among the best. Not sure how this supports your argument.
I think this is true. At the time I’m writing this comment, yours is unfortunately getting downvoted, and I wonder if it is a wording issue or something.

There definitely exist some people who do these sort of jobs in a way provides a negative/roadblock only type of contribution. This isn’t to say nobody produced a positive contribution in these jobs. And it isn’t to say these people who produce negative value are, like, bad (everybody needs to eat and they didn’t ask to get born into a capitalist society).

But, there are definitely some folks who we’d be better off paying to not do anything.
I don't like all the stereotypes people throw around, but among those stereotypes is that California tech bros are pathological delusional wannabe-hippie optimists who blow smoke and sunshine at everyone.
This is awesome. Super fun, love the look.

One thing: I wish there was a way to quickly reset to the top of a chairlift (map maybe?) or set a session and easily teleport back to it.

Reason is, I took the sunshine chair (I think its called that, the one on the right) and then went super far right into the trees cause I was curious if anything was over there, but the trees are super tight so when trying to go back, I keep hitting them and falling, and it's a bit tedious.
So bleak. It's fine to protect yourself but your managers are people too. You _can_ build a report with them and be frank with them.

When I manage folks, I much prefer honesty over someone who just bullshits you.
Right. 4 clay cylinders inch-long, perforated, with geometric symbols on the outside, are not jewelry (otherwise found in the same tomb) but ... labels with a new form of writing because... they were found next to the pottery?

The article is brilliantly written to lead with the significance of such a find before providing evidence.
I think the thing I'm being accused of over and over here by people is that I'm pro-management and anti-labor.

I'm not. I have repeatedly and continue to voice my opposition to RTO specifically, even directly to the VP. I can do this because if I get let go, I can easily find other work, and some of my coworkers can't due to restrictions on their lives.

Elon Musk is a slimy snake that seems to be dead set on becoming a fascist dictator. No fan of him. Actively avoid his products.

But it's odd that merely advocating for taking a moment and considering how we sound to others and maybe that their situation is different gets me lumped in with Musk. I didn't say "we all need to go back in the office in solidarity with the security guards." I was just saying I feel weird complaining about it around them.

Yes, some minimum wage workers are there because they chose to be, but I don't believe for a second all people living a more difficult low-wage life are doing it because they failed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, as someone in a different comment said. America does everything it can to remove those bootstraps for less privileged people, and I'm just saying I think it's wise to consider that.

We should all be working together against the corporate overlords and fight for better rights for all, up and down the chain. Let's just not think we deserve so much more than others while we do it.
A better way to think about the problem is to recognize that the APIs and drivers are providing various services that pretty much every user is going to need, and which you will now need to reimplement yourself.

Nobody needs all of Vulkan, but everyone needs quite a bit of it. Buffer allocation? Command encoding? Scheduling? Synchronization? Abstracting GPU architecture differences (and GPUs vary a lot)? Render pipeline fixed-function stages like primitive assembly, tiling, and blending? You're signing up to implement all of that - good luck!

In this view, your idea is the assertion, "I could do a better job at all that stuff than the driver developers." Maybe so! They're only human. Drivers do have bugs. But you're only human too.
I don't know what godawful chain you are hitched to but I hope you can find a way off it.

High-performance managers realise they are there to enable the talent. You're Brian Epstein, not John Lennon. The job is to create the conditions for folks at the pointy end to be wildly successful.

One of the most defining characteristics of this attitude is the maxim "hire people smarter than yourself", a very fine sentiment with the only problem being that by induction it makes the CEO the dumbest person in the company.

But I digress. If I'm fucking up, then I hope to god my trusted lieutenants will tell me without any pussyfooting around. It's practically what I hired them for.
Ok yes I see your point. I think I am guilty of some imprecision here.. More of a family resemblance I guess.
If we’re productive enough to pay them to construct roadblocks, surely we’re productive enough to pay them to do nothing.

>"This sort of thinking is what leads you down the..."

Please spare me from this bullshit. You are free to go back to that cave.
I had much the same reaction. To put it diplomatically, the article's advice is all about diplomacy.

Much of their examples are a kind of diplomacy that you might use with a somewhat hostile, stupid, and/or petty person. Not in an environment of trust and respect.

Or with an enterprise customer, where "business politeness" is expected, trying to gain advantage is expected, and no one expects you to be very honest.

(Exception: In some cultures, it might be outright rude and mutually awkward to ever say anything critical-sounding upwards, or to offend someone by not going through the politeness motions, which would just be disrespectful. The article seems to be coming from some kind of environment or social expectations like that. I'm not talking about that here. I'm talking about, say, a US tech business environment that at least thinks it values speaking up with honest assessments.)

Ideally, management welcomes straight talk, and will do the right thing with it.

For example, if you've not been given reason to think the person above you is dishonest or unreasonable, and they haven't been given reason to think that about you, but you don't yet know them well, here's an example:

"The team is having some serious difficulty. Is now a good time to talk very candidly and constructively about that? ... Two things. First, I think that people are feeling that they don't have a good understanding of what the goals are, and how they're supposed to be prioritizing, on a daily basis. The other thing that seems to be bothering people is that onboarding is rough, and people immediately feel like they're not doing well, and then they aren't getting out of that feeling."

Note that this might sound a bit like some of the diplomatic framing of the article, in that it's not accusatory, but that's not what I'm doing. Some examples in the article attribute problems to the manager, and then use diplomacy, for cultural politeness, and/or to circumvent some pettiness they expect.

By contrast, in this example, I'm instead respecting the manager as someone who will take the information constructively. I'm also not presuming to attribute blame for the problems, since I don't have all the information about the situation, including not knowing everything the manager has been doing and why.
Rest assured, if there is a horrible way of doing things, Intel will find it.
It will be interesting when Matt changes his story yet again and issues yet another non-apology.

At this point I'm honestly surprised there are not criminal charges. Just blatantly stealing another business's property/storefront, and then threatening to do the same to other businesses is a shockingly brazen thing to do.
So serious question: what are those lower-status jobs that could be done from home but aren't allowed? How can we help advocate for them alongside ourselves?

The question is who comes up with words. If you re-type textbook, you are plagiarizing. Same happens if you re-type ChatGPT output.

On the other hand, if you read some text first (be it ChatGPT's output, or a textbook) and then rephrase it yourself, then you are the author.

How much you have to rephrase? Is changing every other word with synonym enough? That's actually a gray area, and it depends on the teacher. Most teachers would expect you to at least change sentence structure. But in this case it's completely irrelevant, as we know the students did copy/paste.

I really don't see why you are trying to present ChatGPT like something special re plagiarism. Copying other's work is copying. Paying $10 to someone to do your homework and then copying their answer as-is is cheating. So is using ChatGPT yo do it for free.

I vaguely remember an index for the number of earthmoving machines per capita for a given country. It was a really good indicator for productivity. It doesn't seem like industrial robots have the same level of correlation. At least not yet.
