> Preference in all honesty, what besides the obvious requires mangling?

We have a module system. So we have to do name mangling to allow you to use multiple functions with the same name in different modules. This allows you to program without fear of annoying name collisions.

mod foo {
fn f() {}
}
mod bar {
fn f() {}
}

> What took place of split stacks? guard pages?

Stack checks that abort if you run out of stack (like MSVC's __chkstk). It would be nice to just replace it with guard pages where available, and we can probably do that in future versions.

> an example is to use weak aliasing of dummy functions - but this is sort of elf dependent (I have no idea how or if weak aliasing works in pe). I think this is an area that needs to be improved.

How does this allow the linker to throw away unused functions? The reason we use function and data sections is to allow the static linker to remove dead code (which is a lot for many programs).
> to prevent bacteria growing in the soap itself

Only in the liquid soap. That's why I prefer solid soap bars.
why those histories never have the name of the agents, prosecutors, judges, etc?
I never said I find them unbelievable. Quite the opposite.
Sumatra just uses muPDF, FWIW.
There are unallocated /8's that are privately routed. A lot are controlled by the U.S. DoD. But every time they come up, the response is always "so what? use IPv6!"

I generally agree. Putting those in circulation would actually be a bad thing. It would allow IPv4 to continue to zombie-walk for another couple years, maybe another decade, and in so doing to become more deeply entrenched, harming us in the long-run. IPv4 is technical debt.

It's also important to consider why DoD (and some large corps too) likes to sit on these address spaces. The problem with IPv4 isn't just that there isn't a big enough address space for every device on the Internet. IPv4 also lacks enough address space to permit the easy allocation of non-conflicting private address spaces. Ask any large-scale enterprise network engineer what happens when two companies merge or want to interconnect corporate networks and both use 10.0.0.0/16 as their address space. The answer is a visit to the bottom-most circles of NAT hell where sinners are boiled in firewall port remapping rules for all eternity. Either that or one of the merging/linking entities must renumber their entire network, which is often even more painful.

It really, really pains me that so many cloud providers are taking so damn long to support IPv6. Does Amazon even support it yet? I heard Digital Ocean was finally doing a limited beta. Jeez.
Yes, as a white male I see it constantly. I worked for what I would consider one of the best for women in tech (ThoughtWorks) and even there you see this stuff. So much more in other places.

> Most of the engineers I know in tech are decent, upstanding guys. If anything, I feel like if any of us was pulled aside by a female co-worker and she described shenanigans of the sort I read about in these articles, we'd probably jump to their defense in a heart beat, almost maybe too easily.

So here's the thing: most guys everywhere are decent, upstanding guys. Don't think that MVC is writing this to slander decent, upstanding guys. But being decent and upstanding does not make you aware of all forms of harassment and discrimination, and you can still do harm without meaning to or being aware that you're doing it. It's important to talk about the experiences of women in tech, to talk with women in tech and understand what their concerns are, not because they want to beat you over the head for being a bad person, but because you just don't see it. I can never have the experiences of a woman in tech - I'm not one. That's why it's so important to listen to what they are saying.
I don't know why you were downvoted, this is a good question. Have an upvote.

I did this. I just showered more frequently for a month. No one noticed.

After that time, my hair and body odour are permanently better. In fact, I never have BO. (women have confirmed this).

I wash my hair with baking soda apple cider vinegar occasionally. If I eat well and sleep, it never gets greasy. If I eat poorly, it will grease up a bit.
It sounds like it's ever. I know he's mentioned overfunding as one of the primary wedge drivers into already-shaky teams, so that's post-YC.

Such a fascinating article. Let's break this post down:

- Anecdotes used for evidence (check)

- Moral outrage declared (check)

- Call to arms based on emotion (check)

- Appeal to baseless fanatical ideology (check)

- Vilification of a massive segment of the population as homogeneous villians (check)

There really appears to be a massive disconnect between very high intelligence and the ability to accurately observe the real world. Or perhaps in the age when page views reign supreme, rational empirical analysis becomes a vestigial burden from a bygone era.

Not every developer is trying to make a million dollar hit. Many have jobs that make pursuing games as a full-time thing impractical.

Game jams like Ludum Dare (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/) show that there are a lot of people making games.

What I mean is there are some developers where if they make any money at all, it's a bonus. They're not in it for the money, and they're not doing it as a business.

For every developer that's serious and financially committed to making games there has to be at least a hundred that are far more casual.
> Why doesn't Cuba do something about the situation at Guantanamo?

Like, what? Start a war with the US? There's a pretty obvious reason not to start a war with a country who you are close enough to that there aren't many logistical barriers to them bringing their military force fully to bear on you, and whose annual military budget is on the order of 10 times your GDP.

Cuba's jurisdiction over Guantanamo is a legal fiction that the prior administration tried to leverage (largely unsuccessfully, given the Rasul and Boumediene decisions), not something that has real substance.
The RESTed NARWHL
You sound stinky
Um, or it could be that this is just pretty well done, as a result of multiple voices contributing and the hard work of Shanley Kane as editor.
I am going to convey my experience of reading this, in the hopes that it might be helpful. The message that I get from this essay is as follows.

"We are angry with the way we are treated as women, by men. We are angry with the way we see other women being treated by men. Even though you might not personally have treated us like this, we know that you are a man, like other men, and we hold you responsible for what has happened to us and what we have seen. You have power, and we don't. It is by your choice and negligence as men that we are powerless and demeaned. You are not innocent, even though you think you are. We aren't interested in your opinion. You don't know anything. You need to change to make us not angry."

The reason I think this might be interesting is that I know (re-reading the letter, especially) that THIS IS NOT WHAT THE LETTER SAYS. For one thing, it is far from the only thing discussed in the letter; more importantly, however, I don't think this interpretation is all that fair a reading of what the authors have actually written. I know that it's a distorted version of what they intended to convey, and it might not even represent a correct interpretation of how any of them feel.

So why is this my impression? Your own conclusions are welcome, of course. You're free to dismiss me out of hand. But for myself, I think that it has to do with the confluence of two factors. Firstly, I don't really feel that I have a lot of power over women. Actually, I feel like women have a lot of power over me. My life is inextricably entangled with the lives of women, and it would be a meaningless, barren hell were this not so. But instead, and secondly, I am being told how separate I actually am --- and always will be --- from women. I am being told that women are not being treated as people by writers who go on to talk about women, and men, and the relationship of victimization between the two, without hardly a word about people, and how people treat each other, and how some people come to treat other people differently, and what we can do about it. Instead, I feel, I am being told that I am wrong to treat people as 'women' by people who are using the power of that identity as leverage to demand my compliance.

If feminism is the radical notion that women are people, then a feminism that is not about people is radically flawed. I don't like people having power over me, either. I don't like being treated as the avatar of someone's fears, pain, and disappointment, either. I don't like not being treated as if I'm me, really a person, either.

This is all off the cuff, and I have no time to be writing it, but that's my experience, and my reaction, and thanks for reading it.
They did not cause the debt. The government did. The government took money they did not have and spent them. However, you do not parade your biggest accomplishment as "We have discovered 130000 corruption cases" or "We have audited 130000 government records and found multiple cases of waste and fraud which we helped to fix" or "We found 130 million euro spent on crony project and helped redirect them to health and education". No, you say "we helped government to control finances of 130000 citizens and prevented them from using the option of lower tax environment, thus ensuring our government has no competition". You started with supporting the government in oppressing their citizens, not with making the government better. Good start, congratulations.

>>> About 40 billion euros from Spain are gone to tax havens every year.

Of course, the natural thing would be to grab that money. After all, all the money rightfully belongs to the government, right? If there's some money we can't grab, it's not right. I wonder when the people and the whole companies start fleeing - would you also institute exit visas and ban exporting capitals? After all, if somebody - especially somebody with high salary, like software engineer - moves from Spain to, say, Singapore, he deprives Spain of his taxes. Which would lead to higher taxes on those who stay. So we should restrict this thing, right? Let him work at least 30 years to the benefit of the glorious State, and then he can go, maybe.

>>> Having control on these mechanism used by tax evaders will help to actually reduce taxes

It is so fascinating you probably really believe that having government in absolute control of everybody's finances and citizens having no escape to lower-tax environment and thus the government having zero competition in tax-rate market would actually make them drop taxes. And with this kind of naiveté you hope to build a better government. Well, good luck, but I'm not holding my breath. In the best case, you fail. In the worst case, you'll actually succeed and make the government you despise more powerful, more controlling and less accountable.
The politico article is consistent with the same narrative. The Republicans are blaming the trial lawyers exclusively. The Democrats aren't even denying their involvement, they're just trying to spread the blame more broadly because the general public is more sympathetic to the plight of biotech researchers than trial lawyers.

They're even describing loser pays as the main point of contention, which is of primary concern to trial lawyers. If you have a clear case of infringement then loser pays is irrelevant because you won't lose. But if you have a clear case of infringement then there is no trial anyway, because it's just as clear to the defendant. The large majority of legitimate cases of infringement and licensing are already handled outside of court, which is why loser pays has minimal effect on holders of legitimate patents. But loser pays would stab the trial lawyers in the face, because nobody goes to trial with strong patents, and loser pays would reduce the inclination of plaintiffs to go to trial with weak patents. Which is the whole point of loser pays.
He does nothing for a living, and it has been that way for a while.

How about Square Cash then? I was quite impressed to see them use only a debit card number to receive cash.
That's a false dichotomy.

Also, pentesting sites without their consent is a poor choice to begin with, which is closely linked to why the "I was just trying to help" defense works so poorly.

Deciding to "have some fun" by exposing people's private information and profiting from that "fun" are pretty terribly hobbies.

"Down there" actually smells permanently better when you stop using soap. That was my personal experience anyway, and others who have tried this have reported the same.

You're actually not supposed to soap your genitals directly. Even those who use soap don't recommend this. The bacterial balance of the glans penis and the vulva is more delicate.

The stink is often byproducts of anaerobic metabolism. Diet and stress greatly affects it. If you keep lipolysis and protein catabolism down, you really don't smell.

I've found it very noticeable how much I stink after stress, like public speaking. It's because cortisol and adrenaline ramp up inefficient anaerobic metabolism.
>Surface Pro 3 is only good for one target market: designers.

Actually its also good for people who travel a lot and needs to get things done on the way. I am one of those people.

>Surface is also too expensive if you want a decent amount of storage.

Well its has a SD slot, USB3 and with cloud storage, it wouldn't bother you as much as you think.

>It doesn't win Microsoft anything other than a very small niche of people.

Actually if through those niche people they could make it though to the enterprise world, its one of the biggest wins they could ever have.

You're right. Ugh I can't remember either, but I vaguely remember learning about it on Hacker News.

It was nothing technically illegal or anything malicious, it was just normal web-cookie tracking in overdrive. Then the company whose page you hit pays the tracking company for the information.

This. Soap isn't an antibiotic as much as something that fatally disrupts the lipid membranes of bacteria, as well as messing with other oils you happen to have on you.
@danilocampos - I think it matters for getting to a solution. If there's something inherent in tech, or its male work force that makes the problem worse, then knowing that might help get at the root of the problem a little faster.
To clarify: it seems to me that you're using the term "ultra-feminist" to belittle and to trample the points being made.
I think that Apple can make iOS/iPad more "Surface" like faster and more successfully than MS can make the Surface as popular as the iPad.
When you have a population of beneficial microbes, they push the harmful ones out. The ones that cause acne, odor, etc...

When you take antibiotics it kills bacteria nonselectively, good and bad. This can lead to an overgrowth of harmful bacteria when you stop taking the antibiotics. Also good luck when the strain of bacteria you're fighting become resistant to the antibiotic you're taking... Maybe then you'll reconsider microbiomics.
I'm torn, on the one hand we've put up huge barriers to becoming a cab, and cabbies went through all the necessary steps (including set fares, mandatory pick-up rules, etc) to be a legit cab service.

On the other hand, cabbies are scum and the worst drivers in the world, and maybe we should rethink those regulations.

I do think Uber's made "flaunting regulation as a service" and is pretending that making an app somehow makes them anything other than an illegal cab service.
Many women ask that more men would stand up for them. I think that many men would if they actually saw something occur, but many just don't see anything.

In my own career I have only once seen anything that even looked like harassment or discrimination, and that was almost 20 years ago. It does not mean that I question these women's experiences, but I do think it means that the "bullies" know that what they do isn't accepted by their peers. And hopefully that means that speaking up more when these things occur would make a positive difference.
Which is totally relevant to this particular case.
I can always count on HN to reduce a fairly interesting story down to pedantic bickering.

Fair enough. However, it is possible that the microbiome that results from showering could be more deadly than the one that results from not showering - its not only a matter of how many bacteria there are but also what kind of bacteria they are.
I'm still alive, that's as far as it goes. 30% + chance of recurrence and it's not like I can have those organs removed a second time. However, it's an improvement on the initial diagnosis which was stage 4 adenocarcinoma with peritoneal metastasis (ie. a Kaplan-Meyer survival of about 5 years max).

It's not just immuno-suppressed people, it's everyone, and a risk/benefit comparison with peanut allergies is spurious. If everyone smeared themselves in peanut butter before they left the house each morning, you'd have a closer comparison.

Here is the list (US only).

* Domestic violence (men can't be the victim in eyes of public and law).

* Divorces (70% initiated by women, child support calculated basing on one month of his highest income ever, women get the children).

* Body integrity (circumcision anyone?)

* Sexist sentencing (men get on average twice as high number of years in jail for the same crimes)

* Education (man are lagging behind women in both primary, secondary and college degrees)

* Work-place related injuries and deaths (mostly men, all of the time).

Women in US? Yeah, often meet with prejudice when it comes to evaluation of their abilities as employees and professionals. Most other often repeated problems are BS and are not supported by statistics.

Because the combination of decent emergency response and site-specific limitations on peanuts in places where there is a particular likelihood of them affecting someone who is hyper-allergic is currently viewed as an effective- enough mitigation to the hazard posed, not because people have an unrestrained entitlement to act as they want even when it is harmful to other's health.
