I run the Ghostery extension and a year or so ago I noticed that when visiting YouTube ~15 analytic trackers were being blocked. Turns out a couple of extensions were injecting tens of trackers into popular sites (without my express permission), and I would have had no idea unless I had another extension to block and report this activity.

My girlfriends computer is worse - her extensions seem to inject actual adverts into lots of her pages. I asked her why there was an obnoxious "click the bottle to win 1000000$" flash advert on Facebook and she thought it was just how Facebook is. Same thing for YouTube and other popular sites.

It isn't just that. I have opinions on the subject (which tend to get me attacked but not flamed -- I dunno, maybe I am oblivious to the flames).

> But the voices in this game aren't reasonable and rational anymore.

Part of the problem is that the assumptions that underlie the discussion are flawed and so this leads to shrill argument. Maybe the sexism in tech is far more systemic and far less individual than folks would like to think. But if we admit to that we have to stop blaming individuals and direct the effort instead to reforming the system.

A nice parallel to this are the discussions of abortion and gun control. These discussions, too, end up being discussed solely in terms of individualism and individual rights in the US. But this leads to very narrow possibilities regarding solutions. Would the NRA approve of the Swiss approach to gun control (widespread gun ownership along with mandatory military service, mental health checks, and so forth)? Probably not. And imagine how angry both sides would be if the US followed Denmark and banned second trimester elective abortions but publicly funded first trimester abortions. I am not speaking to the wisdom of such policies (which is off-topic here) but just making an observation about how individualism narrows the discussion and scope of possible solutions.

The discussions of sexism end up a lot like these other discussions. These are seen solely as individual issues, rather than questions of community structure. Since we can't discuss the latter, everything becomes name-calling.

What the discussion needs is for a large number of voices to come together and discuss "why I am making the decisions I am making." Only then can we even have a clear view of the issues.

Hi silverarr; I'm from the UK and work within the industry, so I can help you with this.

£40-45k p/a is pretty average within London, where living expenses are higher, for a mid-experience sort of job.

However, £40-45k p/a will give you much more 'bang for your buck' in a location such as Bristol, where there's a pretty good tech community.

Hope this helps a little,

Grade inflation: What the Ivies can learn from Wellesley
C++ exceptions came from ML.

The original purpose in ML was definitely control flow. Or rather, controllable heuristic search in the context of a proof assistant. A heuristic could "give up" by raising an exception and a meta heuristic would then try something else or give up.

They worked well because memory handling is clean and automatic in ML and because proof assistants mainly work in their own little world with little to no I/O (apart from logging to a file/stdout/stderr).

> What I observe is that there is more discussion about the discussion.

Maybe that's because people keep arguing about the discussion itself, instead of contributing opinions about the subject? 41 comments up and almost all of them focus on the tone of conversation rather than the problem at hand; the only thread so far* is the one commenting about the workaholic culture as a possible cause.

To avoid contributing to that trend, I'll do my part and introduce some meat to the discussion. In the Wired story linked from the article[1], someone complained that she was redirected to a gender-specific investor specialized in funding female-founded companies.

Now I think that when there's a problem of cultural bias, having support groups of similar-minded people that may work as safe havens and counter the bias is a good thing. But I agree with her that it should not be the only way to participate, and that the mainstream group should have some minimum requirements of professionalism and treat people from the targeted group in the same way as any other professional. It remains to be seen whether that can be achieved without such groups exerting pressure.

I can find a lot about Zawinski's law, or Greenspun's tenth law.

Letts' Law: All programs evolve until they can send email.

Zawinski's Law: Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.

Greenspun's tenth law: Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.

RTM provided a "corollary which clarifies the set of "sufficiently complicated" programs to which the rule applies: …including Common Lisp." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspun%27s_tenth_rule

I'd describe that as "verbing" it rather than "punning" it. The verb makes sense too, when you take keyboard short cuts into account. A very common short cut to exit a program (in Windows at least) is File->Exit, which translates to `Alt+F, X` so you do, in fact, "X it".

How about willingly paying money to rent a movie because an actor dies and you want to watch something you loved said actor in?

By your logic, I'm just as guilty. I'm supply the demand, happily. That profit doesn't exist if I don't hand it over.

Your logic is wrong (worse than that in fact, it's anti-life). Taken to its proper conclusion, you could just about never watch a movie again, for there will almost always be something tragic or sensational occurring at any given time with someone in every movie. Robin Williams is in rehab and in the news? Oops, can't watch his movies. Jodie Foster comes out as gay? Oops, can't watch her movies until the headlines go away. Angelina Jolie adopts an African child, oops, can't watch her movies until the headlines clear, that would be giving the studios a profit off of something beautiful and that's wrong /s

I'd be very interested on why they choose to guess the language based on IP. What could be the advantage ?

Another old example.

WordStar: Used "X" to Exit to system in its main menu (https://www.flickr.com/photos/markgregory/6946218793/?rb=1) - I do not know the revision shown in the screen shot.

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordStar) WordStar was released in 1978. Which moves the date back to at least 1978 to use X for exit.

However, there is possibly a very simple explanation that the blog posting overlooked. In text menu's, such as WordStar's, which were quite common for a lot of software from that era, using the word "Exit" to mean "leave this program/application" was also common. When one goes looking for a single character memonic for "Exit" to build in as a keystroke to activate the "Exit" command from the menu, one has four choices: [e] [x] [i] [t]

Since [x] is an uncommon letter, while e, i, t, are more common, and therefore more likely to be used for triggering other commands in the menu(s), choosing [x] to mean exit meant that the same character could likely be used as a universal "leave this menu" command key across all the menus.

Which would then lead to the common _F_ile->E_x_it command accelerators in drop down style menus (whether in a GUI or in a text menuing system). [x] was unlikely to have been used for the keyboard accelerator for other entries in the "file" menu, so picking e[x]it was a safe choice.

It is not a far reach from _F_ile->E_x_it using [x] as its accelerator key to labeling the title bar button that performs the same function with an X as well, to take advantage of whatever familiarity users might have with the drop down menu accelerators

To be fair, when the pro-vaxxers don't differentiate between Varicella vaccine, Gardisil, and Measles vaccines in arguments, anti-vaxxers are more or less invited to use the same equivalence.

What is needed in the US is a more nuanced view on vaccination, and a realization that one can be against endlessly pushing ever-expanding vaccine regimens, but still in favor of widespread and routine vaccines for those few serious diseases for which vaccination is really ideally suited.

But once everything is black and white, usually both sides are wrong.

It's a hopelessly self-referential process. You directly ask someone if they self-identify as a narcissist, and use their reply to avoid asking a hundred questions that would only have produced the same outcome, for the reason that the superficial question, and the elaborate approach, both rely on self-reporting, the bane of psychology.

If someone should successfully explain why some people are narcissists, and create a test that doesn't rely on asking stupid, predictable questions but uses an objective diagnostic test (imagine a microscope instead of a microphone), then such discussions would move away from empty philosophy, toward science.

Mm. So, implicit learning is a scientific term, that should be contrasted with semantic or declarative learning rather than "explicit" or "~~intentional~~" learning. Implicit learning trains implicit or procedural memory, whereas semantic learning trains semantic memory.

Semantic memory is your memory of places, things, facts, etc.. Procedural, or implicit, memory is of things like "how to ride a bike" or "how to identify a chess tactic". Your implicit memory, and your ability to implicitly learn, is related to all sorts of things, like creativity, fluid intelligence, intuition, all of your background processes.

I'm not sure how you can operationally define something as nebulous as "mindfulness" (I've seen a reference to the metric they use in another comment, so apparently operationalizations do exist), but if it does reduce implicit learning, it is indeed bad.

Virtually all learning should eventually end up being implicit. Implicit learning is venerable hacker feeling out a bug in some code and massaging in a solution. Implicit learning is what makes it possible for chess grandmasters to instantly identify board configurations and memorize arbitrary board layouts instantly -- as long as the layout is legal. Experts can do these things because they have automatized their disciplines, because over time their repeated, implicit practice has caused their pattern-matching brains to encode vast amounts of information over years of lessons.
