This arrangement sounds great, theoretically. At previous jobs I left, I constantly thought about trying to set up this sort of open conversation with my manager, and laying out my reasons for considering making a change.

I never did it. Not once. I conducted my search in secret, gave my notice, thanked them for the opportunity and moved on.

At the end of the day, despite all of the assurances from my manager and my employer about having an "open dialogue" about my concerns or reasons for looking elsewhere, there's simply no assurance that they won't walk out of the meeting already having me blacklisted as someone looking to jump ship. I have to take their word for it they will work to address my concerns, and there won't be any future resentment or even retribution. When it comes to something like my career, I just can't afford to make that gamble.

More often than not, this isn't nearly as much about employee satisfaction, retention and growth as it is protecting the employer from the potential impact of an employee leaving unexpectedly.

> But it will take a complete tear-down and rebuild to make the tech world the kind of place we’d [i.e. women] want to be.

Imagine if men said this, and put it forth as a social goal as this author does -- they would justly be accused of sexism.

So hey, knock yourselves out, but don't expect to be treated any differently than men would be, saying and doing the same things. Why? Gender equality, that's why. Or is that no longer the objective?

If women really want to succeed in tech in spite of stupid, counterproductive male behavior, they should consider starting their own companies and financial institutions (women control 60% of U.S money) to achieve that goal.

I know this would work. And how do I know? Because men did it -- they established male-dominated tech and financial institutions, and have systematically excluded women from all but trivial and demeaning positions.

It's women's turn to use the same strategy -- if they choose. But continuing to complain about men, continuing to blame men for women's standing in tech? That's a losing strategy compared to voting with your feet.

Stop whining, start networking. Stop trying to accommodate the enemy.
This is true. I found by simply cutting out soda and juice I began losing weight. I also found that after not drinking soda for several weeks, when I would drink it I would find it far too sweet and have actually lost the taste for it.
What about international numbers?
Not sure why so many people are telling you that you have to do this and that as opposed to doing it themselves and letting you do things your way, which sounds like they're working. Would you mind sharing what this business of yours is that requires so little day-to-day management?
You should trade some of that fat with muscle gain (especially upper body), instead of shedding it all. Develop a consistent weight lifting routine at the gym. You'll feel a lot better about yourself. Stationary cycling might make your legs great, but your upper body will probably start to look "skinny fat".
Agreed. For those of you who are offended, do you provide a graphics tablet, AutoCAD, 3D printer, reference-quality microphone, synthesizer, full spectrum analyzer, and every instrument known to humanity every time someone needs to be identified by your software?

If we can't expect the name to be in a character set, why can we expect it to even be two dimensional? What if it's an object? What if it's a sound that Western voices can't make without years of training, ala Tuvan throat singing, with no written form? What if it's a sound that needs to be played on an instrument known only to the person's tribe/nation/whatever, and the only one in existence is a family heirloom halfway around the world? What if it's something like a particular pattern of brainwaves created by meditating a certain way? Maybe a little extreme. There's an African language which is primarily location-based. People are raised from birth with an extremely accurate innate sense of spatial position through dead reckoning. Greeting someone and identifying yourself requires specifying your location and the direction you're facing. Fascinating stuff. There's a great Radiolab segment about it: http://www.radiolab.org/2011/jan/25/birds-eye-view/ So is it racist to choose a column type for holding names that isn't designed for GIS? If you did, isn't it racist to use a system based on Cartesian coordinates instead of the native way of representing locations?

My point is that you cannot possibly cover all the edge cases for the ways people identify themselves, and calling that offensive is just silly. Giving people identifiers that you created is also offensive - that's prison/Nazi crap. So what do you expect us to do?

A blank box in the character set of the primary language(s) where the application is used with zero validation and zero transformations is a reasonable demand. Calling it racist and offensive to fail to cover every edge case is a bit of a stretch.
what browser and version are you using because it should work.
This is great and certainly don't want to discourage anyone.

Some people need extreme transformations like this to be successful. Most people, however, don't.

You'll have a much higher success rate if you're patient and change just one little thing at a time. Once you're comfortable, you move on to the next.

I myself have lost over 30lbs and increased strength tremendously (power clean 250+).

I went about it by doing one small thing at time. First I got used to going to the gym a couple days at a time. Once I was used to going to the gym, I started a strength program. Once I was used to going to the gym and being on a program, I started crossfit. Then after I was used to that, I started omitting wheat from my diet. Once I was used to that...you get the point.

Traitors to Their Own Kind: Radio-tagged Judas Pigs and Pythons
The financial crisis was one big fuck-up, but that fuck-up was accidental and not on purpose. Generally, there is no criminal liability for an accident, because it was an accident. There is criminal neglect, but that doesn't come into play here: given a reasonable level of expertise, it was impossible to predict, and, after the fact, can be seen as a natural consequence of the structure of the world financial system. Who do you jail for accidentally, unpredictably creating a flaw in a worldwide system?

I expressly declined to participate in my last one.

After researching the topic online, I found that there's negative value to the employee in those interviews. For example: complaints will get back to managers, reducing their value as references.

They serve no higher purpose other than to make things easier for the employer in the event of a post-departure lawsuit.

The answer is to allow a single unicode text column for names, and don't try to validate it.

That's not very hard, and is in fact easier than trying to validate or restrict names. You don't have to learn about all the different cultures etc, just don't assume they are like yours.
Totally agree that demanding that someone be put in jail is the wrong approach, however clawing back all the ill-gotten gains and then some as a fine are reasonable. Every single one of these people responsible should have had every penny of the money earned clawed back. The correct deterrence is to make sure that being irresponsible is simply bad business because it is undeniably unprofitable.

I guarantee you that if you were to look at the lifestyle of many of those responsible today that we would see that they have plenty of money stashed away, many apartments and homes, club memberships, etc.

I think we would all feel more comfortable that a crisis like this would not happen again if we knew that the practices that led to it were shown to be unprofitable.
Not exactly poll. Use scroll events to start your polling; after the second time your loop function doesn't find a change in the scrollTop, stop requesting frames.

Even without this guard, with just the `old !== getScrollTop()` it doesn't eat so much CPU neither.
I'm in Philadelphia. They recently added large electronic signs on various highways with information on how long it will currently take to get to certain destinations. I vaguely remember reading they were using anonymous E-ZPass readings for this. So yes, I thought this was common knowledge, also.

This book (Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman) is absolutely fantastic. The first time I read it, I opened it up in the middle and just started casually reading an excerpt. I ended up reading to the end in one sitting, going back to the beginning, and continuing to point where I started. It was that good.

Addiction or dependence or obsession is usually defined as a behavior that causes negative consequences for the individual that they would prefer to avoid.

In that case, oxygen and protecting your family would not be regarded as addictions.
FWIW: I don't like OpenSSL as a CSPRNG; I think you'd generally better off replacing it with direct reads from urandom.

Another useful thing to know: there is lately a push towards crypto constructions that minimize dependencies on randomness. For example, there's "deterministic" DSA that replaces the nonce with a uncorrelated (psuedorandom) bits from digest functions. If you see people talking about cryptosystems being bad or good based on CSPRNG dependencies, that's the idea they're talking about.

This was a good post. For the record, we've been repeatedly trying and failing to hire Daniel Franke ever since that HN hack.
Watsi is only used in extraordinary cases. (Otherwise they would have plenty of patients for people to fund.) I doubt that the money they're pouring into 'Brown people' hospitals is even a dent in their total volume of revenue.

IIRC, the patients aren't even told Watsi is an option until a doctor on the ground identifies them as a potential candidate.

>Yes, that's why you can't get on the internet except through AOL any more.

I don't see any justification for your sarcasm.

It might not be called AOL today, but between FB and Google you have a even more widespread and far reaching modern equivalent. Add Youtube, Android, Google Fiber and Glass to the mix and the control and information gathered is even more than what was there to AOL's wildest dreams.

And between Google Search and Gmail, it's even less easy to switch to than from AOL. AOL was all disanvatages, whereas Google Search is best of class, as is Gmail. People are even afraid to leave FB (you see it all the time, even on HN threads) because of peer pressure and the effect on their social life. Leaving AOL never had that.

>What nonsense.

iTunes Store, Mac App Store, Windows Phone Store, Google Play Store, console software, etc etc. So called "post-PC" devices like the iPad have adopted the walled garden approach, that's not something to be argued, it's a fact.

Do you have any counter-examples, or just wanted to insult my response with the content-less reply of "nonsense"?
Since this is another weight loss post on HN, I'll tread out the old lines again[1]:

If you only care about weight loss: calories in vs calories out.

However

If you care about maintaining muscle while losing fat, the story is still pretty simple, and calories still count, but the macro ratio of those calories are very important. In this case, keep protein high and get the rest from carbs and/or fat. I personally recommend a more Keto approach in this case because most people will be satiated longer.

The point being, weight loss is one thing, but muscle sparring while losing weight is another. Understand what you are going after and know the correct path.

[1] - When most people say they want to "lose weight", they really mean fat. Really, who wants to lose muscle? Probably no one. That is why calories don't tell the whole story. If, however, you absolutely don't care about muscle (and if you say "yes" here, I would personally question that), sure, just pay attention to calories and ignore the macro ratios.
Agreed, Jason.app is really handy for browsing, validating, prettifying, and minifying JSON. I think the outline view is even less friendly for a non-technical person though, listing every value as a name/data-type/value row.
Not everyone is salt sensitive. Talk to them about measuring your salt sensitivity (or you can do it at home, but less reliably).

If salt is hard and the rest is easy, you may find losing weight and exercise the two you worry about, and ignore salt.
It's weird how that stuff works.

I'm 32, my last physical revealed that I'm 63 lbs overweight, I smoke (pack a day), drink fairly regularly, my blood pressure is fine, my cholesterol is fine, and have a great insulin response. Lung capacity is definitely not where it should be though.

I also eat almost entirely meat and carbs, save for lettuce/salad. I can drop 5 lbs in a couple weeks just giving up soda, 10 lbs if I give up carbs entirely.

I think the low fat / no meat thing is a load of crap. At least for me all I have to do is drop the carbs, and especially sugar.
Lo-Dash v2.0.0 released — supports custom builds
I'd have to say of the three things, the one that definitely has to be given up to lose the weight is beer.

Beer is not only caloric, but contains alcohol. When alcohol is ingested, the body's fat metabolism practically stops until it's out of your system. Drinking a beer each day would almost make it impossible to lose fat efficiently.

It wouldn't matter if you were eating under, because your body would not be able to easily burn fat for fuel. Instead, it would burn other things, acetate (from the alcohol), carbs, your own muscle, then fat, etc.

Anyway, I thought that the reasoning that a customer could not be served because address or name "does not fit into the system" were frowned upon since the time of COBOL mainframes, but seeing this whole thread with its resort to a hyperbole of "0.01%" cases is a welcome contrast to the otherwise high aiming goals plastering the homepage of this site.
"But I made a decision to stop right there and then. I didn’t want to wait until Monday, or until we’d run out of crisps in the cupboard. I was putting an end to it."

This is so true... why do we always say we'll start something on Monday? I'll start eating better... on Monday. I'll start my new workout routine... on Monday. Where did this come from? Why is it so hard to make the same commitment to yourself today?
Congrats on making up your mind and following through! Super inspiring!
A couple diet strategies that have worked for me:

Drink a lot of calorie free, caffeinated liquids. I probably drink more diet soda than I should, but tea and coffee are great as well and healthier

I find eating small amounts of crap can actually help. If your diet wasn't amazing in the first place, and your goal is to lose weight so you cut out all unhealthy foods, you're fighting two battles at once - cravings for sugary/unhealthy foods, and hunger cravings. Eating a small amount of ice cream or a few french fries can satisfy the unhealthy cravings, and work as diet foods as long as your calories are sufficiently low.
People are unwittingly bearing the cost of this in terms of ridiculously low interest rates on savings and high unemployment.

I think your tone is a bit condescending towards people who have names that don't fit our norms, but to some extent I agree with you. Let's be honest, for every person with five hundred characters in their real name there's going to be a thousand people who accidentally pasted a bunch of text into the wrong field, and at least ten jackasses who are just trying to see if they can break your app in some interesting way.

Accommodating everybody is a pretty tall order (see: Prince). Where's the appropriate place to draw the line?

a) a homeless person lives in my spare bedroom

b) . . . rural poverty isn't something I focus on, no . . . but as regards systematic health care reform . . . I do not own health insurance, but belong to a health-sharing plan, somewhat analogous to using a credit union instead of a bank . . . not necessarily a solution to world-wide health coverage (or rural poverty), but perhaps a step in right direction.

Band-aids and system solutions ought to go together, and I'm open to learning more about how to do both better.
An Unfalse Poem
Yet again, we arrive at a, "could" story, and not a "does" story.

The NSA "could" have you arrested for a crime you didn't commit by sharing intel it's collected about you! The NYPD "could" use your E-ZPass to track your movements through NYC! Google "could" access your Wi-Fi password as it's synced from your Android device!

I think people forget sometimes that 1984 was a work of fiction, and never actually happened.

Ritz, The Missing Clojure Tooling
Yup.

My wife took only 5 months mat leave. I took the other 7. People were generally envious and supportive of me, at least publicly.

My wife, on the other hand, got to hear all the negativity. People treating her as heartless for going back to work and "leaving" a 5-month-old, and being deeply suspicious of "trusting her husband with the kids", which kinda turns my stomache.

Honestly, most folks are pretty positive about it, but it only takes a few throwbacks to make you feel disgusting.

Faster the more help we get!

As part of my Matasano internship, I've been working on a patch to NSS (Mozilla's crypto library, used by both Firefox and Chrome for TLS) that will give the necessary hooks needed for browsers that use NSS to implement TACK. I'll hopefully be submitting that for review soon (you can see it on bugzilla[1] and fresher in-progress GitHub[2]).

At this point, it mostly makes sense for me to finish that (though I'll have a lot less time when I go back to school, so there might be some work that needs to get done when the review comments come back that I can't get to for awhile, so someone to power that to the finish might be helpful).

But once that's in, we'll need to work on getting patches into the Firefox and Chrome that actually integrate TACK. There's also some other work to do, especially for some other longterm ideas we have (eg. securing communication between mail servers with TACK).

If you're interested in helping, either email Trevor (email is on his website[3]), or email me (danielj@matasano for the next week, personal email in my profile).
