Related: a hardware hacker that I know recently designed and made a new keyboard[1], which looks really interesting and fun to make. Fortunately he also provided really good detailed instructions[1][2] so other people can make it too. I'm not at the skill stage yet where I can make it myself, but it'll probably be the first complex hardware project I eventually undertake.

Some GPUs need to emulate integers with floating point operations, so you basically end up with the same shader bytecode like before (or even worse) when using integers.
So true. If conservative talking points would concatenate the String s = "except when it favors the 1%," they'd reflect reality.

"Free market regulation is bad for the economy " + s

"Government services are handouts and immoral " + s

etc.
etc.

I don't think the blame is mutually exclusive.

However, I've having gone through the public education system in the United States, I know which classes were the worst (the ones all about memorization) and it sounds like the public education system in India has a lot of those classes. Perhaps the educators are only acting on behalf of the system within they exist (as a preparatory organization for this exam), but I think if the buck is to stop anywhere, it's with the administrators of the education system, they need to be held accountable.
There is value in simply having things out in the open, explicitly. In this case the point of the post is to give perspective on where the industry is headed, and I found it valuable.
What's with this stupid title where you have to read the thing to have any clue what it is about?

Imagine if the front page were full with these kind of titles. We might as well change the titles to random numbers.

The last post by this guy that I remember, and the second to last one to do well on the frontpage (perhaps explaining the current behavior), was titled "Off". Can you get any more vague?

In that post all he said about anything being off was "The presenting executives seemed a bit off, too."

My prediction is that before long he'll have a post at the top of Hacker News titled "And" where he ends it with "And that's what I think."
It makes me sad that a community that I'm part of and am passionate about has such negative behavior towards female members. I think it would be extremely positive for the developer community as a whole if there were more female developers, but I'm not sure how we go from the male centric community that exists today to one that accepts female members as equal peers. I'd like to think that the dev team at my startup would be welcoming and accepting of a female dev, but the truth is I have no idea, because we only ever had one female developer interview, and she had only a rudimentary understanding of HTML and JS, so we did not hire her.

Does anyone out there in the startup community have a more integrated dev team? And if so how did you attract female devs and guide the team culture to make them feel welcome and accepted?
Sometimes you can't fix problems from within. What exactly are women supposed to do in this case? Just shut up? How will these problems ever be fixed?
I think people often look at distinctions like that to find out of they're "one of his tribe", aka, another programmer.

It shouldn't matter, but it does to many people.
whilst it's true that Apple maps is not as good as Google maps yet, especially outside the US, it strikes me as the odd one out here.

Apple wanted to make maps better but couldn't do so with Google as the supplier without making unacceptable privacy compromises.

The current state is temporarily worse, but only because their supplier was uncooperative.
To quote Ryan Dahl: The only thing that matters in software is the experience of the user.

Or what about if you treated all law practice as a public service making all lawyers civil servants? The government would pay for the lawyers on both sides, but you wouldn't be able to buy access to a better lawyer. You'd have the problem of excessive lawsuits, but you can counter that with forcing the losing party to pay a big fine that covers the cost of the lawyers. You would also have the problem of how to assign lawyers to cases, but here it might make sense to use a lottery system, where you never know which lawyer you're getting.

As an aside: for me, Amazon Instant Video is _much_ better than Netflix Streaming. I pay for both (Amazon unintentionally, because I bought Prime for the shipping), watch both on a PS3, and spend 2x the amount of time in Amazon as I do in Netflix.

Apart from the free catalogs, which are comparable between the two services, Amazon also has an enormous paid streaming catalog. Like most nerds, the value of an hour of my time is such that even thinking about the price of paid streaming content is a waste of time, so Amazon's paid streaming catalog is a great win for me; 9 times out of 10, whatever I want to watch, I can get through Amazon.

Amazon also does a better job of maintaining my library of past purchases and my wishlist than either of Netflix or iTunes.

I didn't buy Prime to get the videos, but the videos aren't s small feature. Amazon executes streaming content as well as anyone else, and if you haven't checked them out (because you use Netflix, for instance) you should.

Also: I don't think streaming media is at all out of place in Amazon's core offering. They started with books. Then digital media, just like Borders did. Then "everything else", which is what people seem to think of Amazon as now --- the Walmart of the Web. But: then Kindle (consolidating their reach into content), then streaming media, then publishing.

It doesn't seem at all weird to me that the Internet's largest retailer of paid content would have a streaming media service; online content delivery would otherwise obsolete one of their original offerings.
>There’s nowhere to go. Amazon has either destroyed or bought every competitor that has ever come close to its retail business.

There's nowhere to go because people like you gave their money to Amazon. Congratulations! Shall I cry you a river now?
Don't be so hasty to judge an entire country. Remember, what is corruption in a third world country is lobbying here. What is cheating in a third world country is "inner city youth problems." (Guns in schools anyone?)
I'm not sure this works so well for websites hosted outside of the US... LOTS of websites really are hosted outside the US. They resort to confiscating the domain names in these cases, and releasing ICANN is a small step towards revoking this ability.

Personally, I don't really care if the US can shutdown a US hosted (both server and domain) website - that's for Americans to get their laws fixed.

I do however have a problem with the US having global control over the internet. This release of ICANN is a step in that direction.
> bundles free videos with Prime

They're not free, they're part of the $99 fee. I don't watch TV and I don't want to be charged extra so they can give me "free" TV I didn't ask for.
It becomes a problem when vitriolic responses like that (death threats, etc) are taken as indicators of the entire community. It absolutely needs to stop, and we all need to work together to stop it. However, most people aren't insensitive, sexist assholes, and that's important to keep in mind (I'm not saying you claimed otherwise).
I buy enough stuff from amazon that I would spend way more than $100 a year on shipping anyway. Getting the free videos and kindle lending is just a nice little bonus.

It's too bad Marco hasn't watched any videos on Amazon. They have some pretty good original shows. Betas is a funny caricature of the startup life we all live. It's cheesy, but relatively accurate and at times pretty funny. Alpha House is fantastic. It's like a comedy version of House of Cards.

Good. I do not want open source to prevail. I want free software.

On a less provocative note, I don't understand the argument about web apps. There's tons of FOSS web application frameworks and widget toolkits, and the web is slowly conquering the desktop, for better or for worse. Has it not dominated?

Haha - No thanks. The fact that TunnelBear rely on reviews from the MSM, who are gvt mouthpieces defending the NSA spying through sneaky wording techniques, this just puts me off. I mean come-on, they're getting Yahoo to vouch for them? With the amount of hacks Yahoo have had recently! Yahoo didn't even use SSL between their severs for christ's sakes... and not to mention the NSA are all over their users' data!

I like the idea, and the interface is attractive. But only a solid review from the likes of TorrentFreak (or a similar 'forward-thinking' media outlet) would reassure me enough. Does TunnelBear even accept cryptocurrency?
Most people aren't that kind of openly hostile extreme asshole. But I left HN for 18 months in part because it was clear to me that being a "prominent" (by karma score) female was a problem for me. And HN has been an extremely poor networking opportunity for me. I have mostly kept my mouth shut about how negative my experience here was for a time because I did not feel that would help me. I felt it would just make my situation worse.

Given that I am homeless in part because of my inability to effectively network and turn my online projects into an income stream, I feel very strongly that you don't have to threaten rape or murder to quietly and politely do egregious harm to a woman's life.

Anyway, time for me to go to lunch. Later.
No. It would just mean that you are a God.

I mean, if there would be God and he would want to prove that he really is all powerful, he would have to be able to pull that kind of trick to convince me.

> a community member of GitHub's code base

What does that mean? Just someone who has her repo on github? I am not sure how github would be responsible for someone who just has her code on github.
I like the guy and his essays, but the titles appear to be a pseudointellectual attempt to be profound.

UPDATE: Then again, judging from the comments here, maybe he was guessing (correctly) the point that nobody was going to address.
>> "What's with this stupid title where you have to read the thing to have any clue what it is about?"

I think you've answered your own question. A lot of people will think it's a stupid title but be curious enough to click through.
Because for two years she said the opposite? She is, was, or is and was obviously lying, it is just a matter of when and how much. Was she lying before when she said everything was awesome, or is she lying now?

You could play the super long odds, everything was AWESOME for the past two years, but just turned awful. Then she was only lying now (because "I've been harassed by 'leadership' at GitHub for two years..."). That would paint her in the absolute best light, and it IMHO, rather unrealistic.

You could even play the super-super long odds, and assume everything she said before was a lie (said it was good, it was actually awful) and then things BECAME good recently and she doubled-down on lying and said things were bad.

... in my case, it isn't an assumption. It is a expectation based on prior behavior.

An fpga that would be useful is a relatively expensive piece of hardware, even at scale. Additionally, finding skilled professionals that would be able to work with them is much, much tougher than hiring a comparable graphics programmer.

There's also the issue of developing for an fpga being more difficult, and thus time consuming, than writing tight c.
For so long I tried to convince others (even females) that sexism and casual sexism wasn't a thing in software development.

I tried to project an image of guys who were introverted and shy around women, and that so called "brogrammers" were in the extreme minority.

But those same women I tried to convince gave me concrete examples, sometimes even in the companies I worked for. Things I might have ignored or looked past were seen in a different light from their perspective.

When you are in the minority somewhere, even small things are personal and cut deeper. A fact that many in the tech industry seemed to have forgotten from high school, if they were there in the time before being a computer geek was considered cool.

As I said in the related thread on this event, let's stop with the victim blaming and personal insults when someone makes claims of being harassed. We pride ourselves on being intelligent and tolerant. Let's act like it and put down those who don't live by it.
Typically one would take harassment issues in the workplace to HR. Is there a stigma attached to this?

Did DHH actually agree to do this before you guys built this?

One thing that is not clear from your site, that I think should be, is that the code discussions need to happen over unconventional Rails design patterns. DHH was saying he was willing to ping pong on the original discussion thread over a design pattern in a submitted article that he thought was an unnecessary abstraction.
The original post the comment is attached to said, roughly, "The self-proclaimed Queen of GitHub is leaving. The masses cheer."

That's what 'queen' is referring to.

Also, now I presumably have to change the code of my app which uses the API.
Same here. I don't think it has to do with HN traffic since Arment's blog is often on the front page.
Doubt it; his blog is a static site.
I hope GitHub issues a public apology and a statement that can help frame her accusations and bring more light to what actually occurred. The article unfortunately did not offer the specifics of what happened, but it is unfortunate and unacceptable that gender continues to cause conflicts in workplaces for our industry.

Of course not. You have to pay $99 to get them.
and so it starts

when the people who respond with death threats, rape threats, and other sorts of abuse are welcome members of a community, it is indeed that community's fault. A community of actual decent human beings would blacklist people who act in these ways.

I share your love for Amazon Instant. One of my biggest "time vs money" aha moments was when I realized I was spending 15-20min trying to find working streaming links to watch a 22min piece of content (not to mention plugging in my laptop over HDMI, making sure it was charged/plugged in).

Spending a couple bucks a week on Amazon Instant for the season passes to shows I watch has more than paid for itself in terms of time. Additionally, I can download them for offline viewing on my Kindle Fire - instead of dicking around with ripping dvds or finding some software to convert from one video format to another.
Yes. But it also addresses the quality of the journalism, which in this case is disgustingly poor. The link to random open source repos hosted on github, the inability to nail down a title... just poor journalism.
She volunteered to do body shots with her own boss. Is it 'victim blaming' to suggest that creating a sexual environment in your workplace is a dumb idea?
1 point for you :) That being said, we're all very open to any discussion about a missing feature. We've already added a few ones and have even open-sourced the code: we're definitely motivated to provide the best HN search engine to the community. Cheers!
I think that's a bit strict. The Judeo-Christian God, if functioning exactly as advertised, shouldn't be able to do that.
Yeah, the API is different (but I feel it is overall better and they've been responsive to inquiries on github https://github.com/algolia/hn-search).

Technically, you likely would have had to change your code a month ago or so. From what I can tell, hnsearch hasn't had its content updated in the past month.

Edit: Fixed URL. Apparently if you include the period inside the parentheses right after a link (which is incorrect if it isn't its own sentence), Hacker News includes it as a part of the URL.
She is a person who thinks that Adria Richards of donglegate did nothing wrong.

She is public friends with a group of high functioning SJWs (and for this reason stay the fuck away from them unless you want to be character assassinated - they are throwing that around a lot right now) who think GitHub of all places is the pinnacle of misogynistic, explicitly female hating culture. If that's GitHub then truly tech is doomed, but then again this is SJW world where any mostly male environment is a hostile work environment, where things like libertarianism is hated because they don't value equality of opportunity and instead demand equality of outcome irregardless of merit. They think that feelings, that status matters more than results... you know, building things, making the world a better place one little thing at a time instead of always being on complaining.

Internet trolls being assholes has nothing to do with sexism. People who feed the trolls, who are male and female, get burned. Let the idiots burn. And yeah I've been called a gender traitor by the SJW idiots because I don't agree with their idea that feminism = females.

Mt. Gox lawsuit adds Japanese bank as defendant
Huh I'm curious about whether this is really that bad.

Eastern Europe (including and most of all, Russia) have peat lands which are extremely dense decayed plant matter that has, over many many years, compressed to the point where it has more carbon than coal. Russia's forest fires (having killed tens of thousands in 2010 and 2012 each) are the worst because the dense peat in the ground continues to burn through the years and nothing but a huge investment in landscaping will help put it out.

If decomposers are unable to create the peat as fast, it might make controlling the fires far easier in the short term because the peat won't continue burning, thus decreasing the risk of a catastrophic forest fire spreading nuclear ash everywhere.

Edit: That said, peat takes thousands of years to build up so it might not make any difference whatsoever.
Was she claiming sexual harassment or just harassment and bullying in general?
I got that for a few minutes too but it started working again.
That doesn't contradict the fire theory, though. It simply means that the fire didn't directly bring the plane down, but it could still have incapacitated some of the systems and possibly the crew.

"Victim blaming" implies you know for sure who the victim is. Given that this is nothing but one big he-said-she-said, I will instead reserve judgement.

We have someone who's been accused of being unable to take criticism and being vindictive. She responds by throwing a public tantrum and blaming all of Github for it. If the shoe fits... Why is she so convinced that post is about her anyway? Unless there was some truth to it.

The tech feminists never seem interested in taking the high road, and instead optimize for maximum drama. Don't complain about being a public figure when you broadcast your life on Twitter.
They do because they can. Others don't because they wouldn't dare.

I don't think accusations of harassment should automatically be believed. It's telling that the article includes the episode from the Ruby conference, which to me is a very good example of mistaken accusations to the tech industry (it had nothing to do with Ruby or Tech conferences whatsoever, there was just an incidental connection).
