I think this whole thing sits in the same boat with error handling and unit tests. Many folks tend to see these as something separate from programming. Some kind of side effect that isn't a lot of fun and is therefore best ignored. "Hey, I can write me some code.. and oh yea.. there's also this bit of stuff I should do, but I'm busy writing the next big thing."

It helps to start thinking of all this as one and the same. No single part of it is more or less important. If you are writing code, you are writing documentation, you are doing correct and thorough error handling and you are producing consistent and relevant tests. There is no difference.
mutual exclusivity of political parties?

Party primaries were the answer to closed party candidate selection methods. Those smoke filled rooms. It was considered in the public interest to increase participation. Which is why govts now pay to administer those elections.

This way there are still two major parties but a candidate must get support from the lesser parties to succeed.

"Electoral fusion is an arrangement where two or more political parties on a ballot list the same candidate, pooling the votes for that candidate."

It's a partial step towards approval voting. I support it.
I am not as much against automated trading, as I am against High Frequency Trading.

Automated trading itself is still dangerous, in that many of these algorithms are black-boxes. They induce complexity and turbulence into the system. For example the minor bubble just before 2008 crash. May be automated trading/HFT was lucky that, the crash wasn't majorly their part. But it is a ticking time bomb.

Now with HFT it is all the more dangerous, because of the speed of interactions. If I make a bet in 50micro seconds, the space of possibilities explodes on you.

And how is it of enormous benefit to society, when it is concentrated in fewer hands. Again, these micro variations hardly say anything about the quality of the goods being produced than what other traders think about the goods. You are optimizing on a parameter, which does not model the problem you are solving. You might find a minima, but one that has nothing to do with making/distribution of these goods.
The tea party has a high re-election rate. Even if they didn't, the barrier of entry is so low that any elected member that is not extreme enough will be replaced by a challenger that displays the right amount of zeal.

Throughout the world, women tend to be more nurturing,
risk averse and emotionally expressive, while men are
usually more competitive, risk taking, and emotionally
flat.

The article seems to imply that since the world has a persistent bias toward men in terms of competition and risk, that this is the normal state of affairs.

Would these results hold in a matriarchal society? Is the causation genetic (unlikely in my estimation) or just cultural?

If the causation lies in cultural norms, wouldn't a "Lean-In" type push shift the line over time?

As if taking care of the kids ISN'T WORK? This article is about priorities, and we all need to stop being elitist assholes who think work outside the home is more important because it generates currency.

My wife is a stay at home mom, and she works her ass off to do the most important job in the world: creating new, productive citizens.

What sucks is how she has to deal with social pressures which increasingly make her feel like a loser if she isn't pursuing a career outside of raising our children. Feminism is about giving women and men the same choices. Hell, I wish men could stay home with kids without being viewed as "not real men" in the majority of this country.

Destruction is a huge part of street art. No one expects their piece to be permanent. There is a loose code as to when it is acceptable to go over someones piece and a good one can stand for a long time but it won't be there unsullied forever.

These throw ups are making a real statement and it is this:

Banksy is no longer a street artist. He's chosen to give that up by selling out and his work is worth less than a shitty throw up to those in the scene.

I've said this before, but they wouldn't do it if it didn't work. Just google "video engagement vs. text engagement". It really does increase conversions and alleviates a lot of confusion. It doesn't excuse the need for descriptive text, but rather complements any online offering. Seeing is believing.

I agree with this sentiment, I too avoid video, but it is a very easily digestible format for a lot of people. Think about Leap Motion, would it have nearly been as interesting without the impressive video showing you why it's interesting?
Another way to frame it is to postulate, if gender roles tend to persist and even increase along with wealth, why are our political and economic systems configured to be so "masculine."

For example, the US has a very low proportion of elected representatives who are women, in relation to other developed countries.

If you take this article at face value, the involvement statistic could be an indicator of how we conduct our political affairs, more than an indicator of women's empowerment.
Women and men don't currently have the same choices. That's the problem.

There are huge systematic biases that push women towards less powerful roles in society.

Mind you, if they lower tick sizes, that means a lot more order cancellations. A market-making algo is simply a control system, taking in a set of inputs and spitting out a fair price that it is willing buy/sell something for. The number spat out is a rational one, that is then rounded to the nearest discrete tick. Smaller ticks = more jumps in the discrete output price = more cancellations/modifications. Which is fine, except the anti-HFT brigade seem to think a trading system that cancels 10000 orders and trades 100 times is the devil. It's not, it's about as remarkable as any other control system. You may as well express outrage that the cruise control system in your car adjusts the throttle ten thousand times a second. The only downside is that the exchange needs to cope with that level of traffic.
> Save for the UK, I can't think of a single Western European country that goes to the extreme lengths of surveillance that the US does.

People were equally skeptical about the extent of the US's surveillance until the Snowden revelations. It always seems far-fetched ... right up until the moment it doesn't.
The position the article is espousing is more nuanced than your characterization.

According to the article, some studies suggest that where women have greater opportunities typically they will pursue interests that are not strictly tied to high power/earnings as they reach certain earning thresholds. This level of earning need is less than that of men on average.

It's an interesting article and worth a read, regardless whether one thinks the data is accurate.
Lead generation automation
People who write term sheets are using trust -- human capital -- accumulated over a 30-50 year career, to raise the funds to be able to deploy them in the first place.

For better or worse, the reason any random person off the street can't raise enough capital to start a bank, VC fund, or other capital-intensive project is lack of trust. Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, etc. have trust; you don't.

It's always great to see people jump into doing something new with their hands.

That said, I predict cracks and early failure for the top. The author created something called "breadboard ends" (the left and the right side of the top writing surface have boards that run 90 degrees to the main boards of the top). Breadboard ends are a great technique - they keep the natural tendency of the left-to-right boards to cup (curl up in the short dimension) in check.

That said, there is one issue with breadboard ends: the long boards will shrink and grow in width with humidity changes over the seasons by 1/4" or more. Lumber only changes in width, not in length. So the breadboard ends will not accomodate the seasonal change...and something will give. Likely cracks will open up.

There are techniques to avoid this. Perhaps the author used some of them (only gluing the breadboard ends in the center, etc.), but if so I missed it.

Moral of the story:

* learning new things is great

* diving in is awesome

* sometimes trades do have semi-secret techniques evolved from dealing with the same damned issues over and over and over again.
I've always liked InnoSetup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php). You describe your installation in a short file created via its syntax-highlighting IDE. A big con is that its scripting is done in Pascal, but you can likely find existing scripts to do many common operations.
I wonder why this is off limits for governments? Sexual orientation, birth control, sexual health, religion et al are equally ludicrous areas to legislate in. The fault is less black and white, but isn't that more reason to avoid the issues?

Throughout "Lean In", Sandberg uses the terms "works inside the home" or "works outside the home" to help drive that point home.

There's also a lot of discussion about how men don't have the same choice to be primary caregivers the way women do. I was skeptical, but it was a good read.

To me the fundamental shortcoming for javascript is not its typelessness, it's the lack of language syntax support for asynchronous programming, which is the butter and bread for most javascript applications (server or client side).

I really hope I can do something like

rb <- async_opB(ra),

_ <- asycn_opC(ra, rb)

).run()

Ask HN: What it's like to move from home to pursue a dream opportunity?
Hi,

Yesterday something funky happened to me. I received yet another job offer, but this time for a very well known UK company. A dream opportunity.

Basically they'd love it if I would move away from my home and family in Canada to join them there. They're inviting/paying me to meet the team for one day to see if I like it and if I like the project/team/etc.

Following that request, a bit dizzy with the "holy crap is this really happening?!" feeling, I talked about it with my family to see all their faces going pale with fear of losing me forever.

I'm used to traveling, I've spent several months away from Canada for various reasons such as working (not it-related at the time though). They know I always come back home, I love it here but I feel like I'd me missing something huge that could totally redefine my life even if I don't speak a word of that country's main language.

I'm currently 25 years old, I've been working for a startup for the last year and a half and have received a partnership request from my client which is great but sometimes I feel like the project is slowly drifting apart, my client has a job, kids, a wife and way more priorities than I personally do. It's a lot on his shoulders with the investors pushing in his back.

I have also a girlfriend of a few years, animals, a big and full apartment, etc.

---

So the reasons I'm asking this here are:
- Anyone lived the same? What was your decision and how it ended up?
- Did/Do you like the experience of working abroad?
- Considering the wall of text I just wrote ^^ what do you think I should do?
- How did your family/peers reacted? Are they mad or something?

Thanks to whoever takes the time to reply, this is very important for me.

Have a nice day.
Ah, yes. Back around 1980, a piece in WM gave an number of hours flown for the USAF during the previous year or so, compared it with hours for some period about 10 years previous, and suggested that the decline was due to the Air Force's appetite for ever more complex and high maintenance airplanes. That the earlier period had been in the middle of the Vietnam War they did not mention.
First, let me say that SmartGit is an excellent application, too. However, most people that chose Tower over SmartGit prefer our approach in regard to user interface, workflows, usability, etc. Tower goes a long way to make using Git both as easy and as comfortable as possible.

However, don't believe me ;-) I recommend you download the free trial from our website and see for yourself.
So how should I use a TypeScript module like typescript-collections with Node.js? If I don't add /// <reference path>, intellisense doesn't seem to work, but if I add /// <reference path> and import, I had some errors too.

The author waits until the very last paragraph before acknowledging:

"Gender differences can sometimes be symptoms of oppression and subordination."

And that's true. Oppression, subordination, etc exist. And so do innate differences between men and women. There doesn't have to be a hard-and-fast dichotomy here.

I think the author is right to criticize Sandberg, since Sandberg apparently says:

"A truly equal world would be one where women ran half our countries and companies and men ran half our homes."

which is contradicted by the research mentioned in the article. To take Sandberg's position would be sticking to one half of the dichotomy that I am alleging is a false one.

That said, I think perhaps this author underestimates the extent to which oppresion exists and to which gender roles are contingent (i.e. not innate). Or, at least, the tone of the article could lead to that sort of interpretation. IMHO, better to put that acknowledgement up front rather than at the end of the article.
It takes even longer; the documentation required is very strict, and due to the wide range of applicants, hard+subjective to judge.
Better title: "What 'Lean In' May Misunderstand About Gender Differences"

This study shows that more questioning and investigation should happen, it most certainly does not "prove" that women are e.g. inherently less interested in engineering. The title is conjecture, Sandberg may be totally correct.

Interesting study tho, nice to see this complicated question get investigated more.

If that was your takeaway, I'm not surprised that you're disappointed... But it wasn't mine. This whole discussion about gender roles gets contentious fast when people feel they're being told that their sense of identity is wrong, their preferences are abnormal, their priorities are upside down, or their life choices were incorrect.

People all along the opinion spectrum overgeneralize and end up making others feel this way. Even your comment may easily alienate someone who has actually made the choices you dismiss so easily.

When I read a piece like this, what sticks out in my mind is one question: "Hey guys, are you sure A, B and C are what everyone of gender X should be / do / value?"

I love a simple Gladwell-style opinion piece that actually makes me think with a few carefully revealed key facts.

My big takeaway here is that America is not and never has been one country. In Europe we are wringing our hands that the Southern states are too poor and being carried by the richer North, that migration must be controlled lest we depopulate a country and why can't we be more like America who just seems to go from strength to strength

yet, it's not true - all we fear in Europe apparently happens in the US anyway - different areas have different economic cycles, mass migration, vastly different state laws and yet it seems to balance out ...

Oddly I guess Anerica is a small working example of Keynes' International Monetary Fund - perhaps call the Fed a Continental Monetary Reserve.

It also suggests that acting more like a proper country might not be very good for you.

edit: The IMF was originally conceive as a way to balance out economic cycles - countries would pay in in good times, draw down in bad times. It seems however that politicans like the spend in bad times, but happily forget the pay in in good times part.

I always wince whenever I see a person espousing any inherent gender differences or preferences, because they are consistently ripped to pieces.

I actually think it's valuable to examine if, when X occupation is 80% male, does that mean that 80% of the people entering the occupation are men?

Do the women:

- drop out (possibly sexist work requirements, hours etc.),

- get pushed out (obvious sexism),

- or are there just a small number of them pursuing that path to begin with?

And if it's the latter, is this actually an issue? And if it is, is it the fault of the industry, or does the problem start with girls not finding science (for example) very interesting at eight?
Great post, really made me take a deeper look into the product.

I wasn't disturbed by the short video which explains most / all the features, but I can see the need of also having them as separate web pages (also useful for SEO).

"I do self-experiments all the time"

I just saw your work on LSD microdosing. I really admire your dedication to finding something out through careful experimental design. This is an example of an experiment where self-blinding was possible, but I don't see how it would be possible in testing my own reactions to something that, by definition, I would need to be aware of. So, yes, A/B testing would not be possible here on myself. That's what I had in mind.

"For all you know, you still click more and get more out of the HTML emails"

I never click on them, so there is no question here. Really, I don't need a formal testing regime to know that HTML email sends me a bad signal any more than I do to know how I feel about people wearing obscenity-bearing tshirts.
