One person in the sentence is male. The other person is female. The female person is described as never going to use some skill the first person is teaching her.

Maybe she owns the company. Maybe she won the lottery. Maybe, just maybe, learning CSS isn't that much of a super-cool thing to do.

Maybe we're taking all of our pre-existing bullshit and putting it into some random sentence in some article somewhere.

But definitely not an eater.
What?? How is that possibly sexist? Since we are not being sexist and treat both sexes with equal respect and attention, it doesn't matter if he used two guys, two girls, or a mix in his example - it's all the same. It's only sexist if you want to find it sexist - if you believe that it's sexist because he said that a guy is teaching a girl some CSS, then well, there's something wrong with your head.

Yea a few minutes is ridiculous. IntelliJ takes max 30s for me to start and it's pretty heavy, I can't imagine waiting more than a whole minute. That's just unacceptable.

> How often do you start up an editor per day?

Probably 50 to 100 times.

Also it's not just the startup time, atom in general is slow but most of the work being done is on the speed of the editor and not startup time. While I do agree that the actual functionality is more important than startup, it seems like they don't really care about the startup time at all.

it's a polyglot PDF/TeX, and you can generate the PDF by directly running PDFLaTeX on it (so you distribute the source with the viewable result)

the 2 tricks:
- include the source unmodified in the PDF itself
- modify the PDF so that it's parsed by PDFLaTeX itself.
To be fair, that email is from 2007. Did x86 processors have nested page tables back then? If not, he might have been complaining about that.

Code Club -- Head of Engineering -- London, UK

As someone who has written C professionally in the past, I agree. IMO this is fairly ugly C. Definitely can't see why someone would consider it to be beautiful.

That said, there are some neat things I've seen in the ruby C code in the past. I thought [1] was pretty clever (this pattern shows up several times in the ruby source) the first time I saw it, since it lets you access the members of the union like `foo->as.thing`, which is fairly pretty IMO.

As a regular IDE user (Visual Studio, PyCharm, WebStorm) there is no way I would forgive a few minutes loading time. Of the IDEs I use PyCharm is the slowest at perhaps 15-20 seconds to start up, and I consider that barely acceptable. Had it not been such a great product once started up I doubt I'd be as forgiving about its start up time as I am.
We have one of those already, it's "they".

It's very unlikely to work that way for most jurisdictions.

Let's look at the situation if you had a US-based company and you visited the UK. While you were in the UK you did some work. The UK tax office will interpret that as meaning you are earning money within the UK jurisdiction and therefore you owe money. In this specific case there are set limits of days for when 'work' is deemed to have taken place, and you would handle it through the double taxation between UK-USA. But, to be clear in this simple example you would incur UK tax.

I can't imagine which jurisdictions you're visiting that would not interpret you as "working".

That's correct. Everybody needs to be able to produce an ID when asked for it by the police. Note however that it is not common for police to ask you for your ID, so not everybody carries it at all times. You get a fine if you don't have it on you or the police can take you to their station.

Show HN: TypeWonder – Test web fonts on any site on the fly
Open source can (and does) work, but questions can be asked about whether legacy open source code is receiving necessary scrutiny - and if not, why not.

Not every criticism of open source is whether or not it works. In this case, is it working well enough, given the coverage and criticality of some of the software in the wild?

Bear in mind, this particular patient has been in the waiting room for decades. Asking why a doctor hasn't shown up until now is at least reasonable.

Re. edgenet: it looks to be overlapping with serval https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.servalproj... - I wonder why not contribute to that project rather than building from scratch ?
I'm surprised that the author could write such a cherry-picked article with a straight face. I clicked through to the six links in the twitter comments. Here's a summary of who made them:

1. bobcostas55: member for 146 days, 42 karma
2. gph: member for 997 days, 634 karma
3. lulzwat1111: member for 32 days, -8 karma, comment downvoted into oblivion
4. aianus: member for 588 days, 369 karma
5. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8372411 I honestly don't see the problem here?
6. nickthemagicman: member for 690 days, 241 karma, comment downvoted into oblivion

For context, I have over 4500 karma (I only comment a few times a month and don't submit much), and the HN user with the 100th highest karma has over 16,000. In other words, these comments are not representative of the entire community, or of even a single medium-profile user.

The vast majority of the time, ignorant comments are met with multiple replies setting the person straight, or with downvotes (as I do, for anything that is insulting or offensive).

Hacker News intends to attract a technical audience. The community includes a wide variety of people, some of which are 16-to-25-year-old men who have poor socialization skills. Some of them (and some others, certainly) have naive, twisted beliefs, or they are just unaware of their privileged position in society. Others are from different countries that have old-fashioned gender norms.

I don't think this is a problem unique to HN or even to tech. I claim that you could just as easily write an article like this about fraternity or country club communities, if their communications were indexed for the entire world to see. At least in the case of HN, you have a large number of dissenting viewpoints.

I actually think it's good that short-sighted individuals express their bigoted views. It gives others a chance to provide them with some perspective. Even more, though, prudent individuals who think the same thing have the opportunity to have their viewpoints changed as well. Also, seeing the extreme version of one of your views can cause you to pause and reconsider it.

Personally, I was quite libertarian and lacking in perspective on several issues (e.g., end user empathy, social welfare, the importance of tact) when I joined Hacker News 7-1/2 years ago. Of course I can't give all the credit to HN, but it has definitely had some positive effect in improving my personality and broadening my perspective.

We don't have a cure ... and won't have one in time to help (almost) anyone who's contaminated in this outbreak. There's really not much we can do except to contain the virus (if we can do that). I don't necessary want to be nuked from orbit, but if I were to contract this illness I'd also rather not linger towards an almost certain death.

I know it sounds a bit fatalistic, but why be an organ donor, draft a living will (etc) if you don't consider that one day you may perhaps die? And the truth is that most of us are unable to help the current situation in even the simplest way. Those of us who have a suitable belief system can only pray.
I always name them after people I know. Never occurred to me that there was a better way to do it.
What I said applies to French citizens, not foreigners. For foreigners the situation is less clear, in some cases you need to be able to show your passport and visa http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/particuliers/F31208.xhtml -- if you are within the scope of a visa exemption I would imagine that you would need to justify it by producing a passport of the correct nationality and supporting documents if any.

(Personally, I always keep my passport with me when travelling abroad.)

In France I always have my ID with me but I know friends who don't (e.g., did not bother replacing a lost ID). Having lived 24 years in France I have never been asked to produce ID by the police or gendarmes. (That said, I am white, not often involved in demonstrations and such, etc.; other people's experiences may vary. :-/)

Not really. He's right. The memory, paging and protection model for X86 is fugly at best. It's very easy to hang yourself as demonstrated.

You can be as insulting as you like if you compare X86 (and X86-64) to SPARC and POWER which is what I assume he is doing here considering he provides operating systems for multiple architectures. We're talking about an architecture that started with the 8086 and despite changes to the underlying microcode architecture, the front end ISA and system interface is still plagued with poorly designed extensions hacked on.

Regarding virtualization, any sharing of resources, particularly at a hardware level is an attack vector if not implemented correctly. Whether or not it is implemented correctly or is exploitable is merely a matter of time and effort as demonstrated here. That is unless mathematically verified, which it isn't and based on the evolved x86 architecture probably isn't possible so it can't be more secure and is unlikely to be as secure. That leaves only less secure.

For a trivial but high-visibility example, the very first two paragraphs of the document have "orphaned" words on the last line--a big typographical no-no.

In the first paragraph, the orphaned word is "of". If there's no way to squeeze those three characters ("of.") into the preceding lines then one should probably be a little more generous with the character spacing in the second line so that the "of." doesn't look so lonely.

It is possible that as it happens there is no clean way to format that paragraph, or that Sile simply prioritizes other factors over orphan lines, but for a paragraph that opens with "SILE is a typesetting system. Its job is to produce beautiful printed documents.", leaving three characters orphaned on the final line is unfortunate. If nothing else I'd reword the paragraph to address this problem.

My advice would be to finish high school and, afterward, if you can[1], take a year off to go work for either a remote team, or move to a major city and work for a local team.

I used to live out near Erie; the job market is nearly dead there for development. Once I started looking at Cleveland, things picked up. It looks like your equivalent major city is Pittsburgh.

Once you've worked for a year or so, look into state colleges etc. for degrees. Neuropsychology sounds like it would need a degree, unlike development (which would benefit from one but isn't shackled to it). Just make sure you're not paying too much for it. If you're not going to an ivy league school, find a cheap but competent program. Private colleges are only likely to put you in more debt than you need.

Get some help for the depression. Wellbutrin helped me way back when, but your best option may be something different. A doctor can help with this.

We are hiring, but we're looking for very experienced developers local to Cleveland, so it likely wouldn't help you.

1. Only take a year off if it will not affect your access to doctors and medicine. If you are reliant on your parents for health insurance, I believe you need to go directly from high school to college to still be eligible.
And you seem to be wedded to the idea that change can happen regardless of physics. Automated cars isn't going to eliminate the need for a certain level of crash protection, and reformulating tires isn't going to change the basic physics of energy loss due to deformation versus the need to have deformable tires to get adequate traction.

There is a reason advances in transportation (or energy) technology are so slow and expensive. The physics really are not in your favor.
I don't have access to the full text of the paper that quote from the article refers, but I gather from the abstract that the idea of classifying high/low EI jobs is from the paper, not the OP. Perhaps full text of the paper has more details on how they classified the jobs.

Overall, I find it ironic that most people who say they care about EI are the ones who don't prefer to be accommodating when interacting with others with seemingly lower EI.
