Had he stopped there I might have concluded it was just a poor explanation. But luckily he continued:

Put another way, we've introduced a mutual dependency. By introducing a trend, we've made Y1 dependent on X, and Y2 dependent on X as well. In a time series, X is time. Correlating Y1 and Y2 will uncover their mutual dependence — but the correlation is really just the fact that they're both dependent on X. In many cases, as with Jennifer Lawrence’s popularity and the stock market index, what you’re really seeing is that they both increased over time in the period you’re looking at.

What, pray tell, is the X for which the stock market index and Jennifer Lawrence's popularity depend on? Oh, you say they're both dependent on the underlying trend... What?

Lennart Augustsson is a skilled compiler writer, especially for Haskell, to say the least. Mu does more than just strictify Haskell—the code portability stuff is pretty unique as well, for instance.
with gpu-accelerated css transitions, requestAnimationFrame, virtual dom and web workers, the experience can be damn close. he makes it seem like "no comparison", this is provably false at least for the apps he demoed. for games, native is still necessary. what react offers beyond performance though, is definitely awesome.

imo, the talk comes off a bit like a sales pitch at a pep rally.
That's right. Sort of like factoring out common variables/values in algebra I'd say. Time series is the "easy case" but I suspect identifying less obvious commons is the real art of it all.
Wow. I never would've guessed our aerospace industry outstrips our wheat exports. That's pretty crazy!

> Web Workers being crippled

As Tom said, you can't do layout or prerendering-to-bitmap in a web worker: there's no DOM or Canvas API unless you bring your own, and despite Emscripten it's foolhardy to bring your own. If you want to decode a JPEG, you have to do that on the main thread and pass it to the worker right now (except in Firefox with its nonstandard ImageData API).

I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that the iOS UIKit internal code for animations is closed source - the best anyone can do is reverse engineer, move their thumb and see how things react. What are the Bezier points on the curve used for the fade when you "back-swipe" from the left of the screen? Good luck figuring that out - it's possible, but only barely. Tom hinted at the idea that if developers were better organized, they might be able to replicate things better, but it would still be an uphill battle.

Except that's not what's happening. The war is between the ideology that genders are equal and the ideology that genders are not equal.

>(given two people with the exact same competency you will typically choose the male)

My experience directly contradicts this. Software companies currently prioritize female engineering hires because people are making such a big stink about the fact that there are fewer women than men in software engineering (and automatically assuming that this is due to sexism).

I recently received an email from my employer to the effect of "If you know any female engineers, please send in a referral!". Yes, they used the word "female".
Well, AFAIR (as far as i read), LXC are C and python and Docker is go-friendly, so recently they included libcontainer and slowly will remove the piggybacking on LXCs, i feel so, its optional with new release.
http://blog.docker.com/2014/03/docker-0-9-introducing-execut...
So in that case, they will bring along more features too,that will surpass LXCs.Also its the matter of statefulness and statelessness. LXCs are stateful and dockers are stateless so this is a big win here for dockers. Libcontainer brings more dimensions to dockers. So if state is not a concern for you, LXCs are any day great ones to go for.
So... I'm a little confused here. When you say something like:

> Women make excellent troubleshooters, they can see angles and possibilities that men often can't. They can design awesome algorithms, come up with innovative solutions and take projects into bold new directions. Men are better at technical syntax, middleware, configuration, builds.

That just comes off as sexist against both men and women simultaneously.
Doesn't every CDN already accomplish the same functionality with multiple origins and failover detection, while accelerating static content by caching it at the edge? Given how cost competitive CDNs already are, I don't see how they can charge a low enough cost in comparison to be compelling, while still incurring bandwidth costs and at least some network infrastructure which make it almost as expensive to run, minus some caching nodes. And if for whatever reason, there does happen to be some use case for anycasting the IP that's advantageous, any CDN could add this feature overnight while having a much more established footprint and infrastructure in place.
That's every bit as much as people on the other side have.
Please help me understand. Assume I have 100 years of atmospheric CO2 levels and 100 years of temperature data over the same span. These are both "time series data".

Well I thought that is why there is requestAnimationFrame.
I think that's a valid approach as well. The server models are there as a way to resolve differences between the state of the models in the view and the state of the models in the server. It's nice if, for instance, the users loses internet connection and then comes back online we can intelligently figure out what's different between the client and server and sync those changes. Another situation is if we want to intentionally let the client state drift from the server state temporarily. For example, add, remove, and update models in the UI without having them be synced to the server immediately (ex. maybe they can make a bunch of changes and then press "SAVE" to fully persist or "CANCEL" to revert). It's particularly useful for apps where there's a lot of modification do data rather than just displaying data, but there's certainly other valid ways to approach the problem.

Twilio is useful, and not too expensive. It's most useful for SMS input, since it doesn't understand voice; it just records it. I just use it for a fun application; I have it connected to a 1930s Teletype machine at steampunk conventions, so people can send in telegrams to be hand-delivered.

Inbound SMS is still limited to 160 characters; Twilio can't reassemble a multipart SMS message, or give the user enough info to do so. Nexmo, a competitor, can handle multipart inbound SMS. I wish Twilio would catch up in that area.

>We should figure out where the educational system is failing women here.

How does "women do relatively poorly on quantitative tests" imply "the educational system is failing women"? This could be do to any number of factors, many of which having little/nothing to do with the education system.

And, of course, there are more female college students than male college students, so there are other areas where you could just as (in)accurately claim that the education system is failing men! In reality, it's probably (again) due to external factors.

i think his answer was that all the magic numbers and heuristics that make the physics and animations and whatnot feel perfectly native are black boxes. if you want to make a "native" iOS/Android experience on the mobile web, you literally need to guess about all of those things -- and it'll always feel a bit off. probably a corollary of the uncanny valley

I think time - then you're left with data. If when removing this they still have the same shape they do in fact correlate. I'd be curious to see the results of that experiment to be sure.

I believe the beauty is you're using time (x and x-1) to preserve the change from sample to sample but remove the time influence that broadly affects all and distorts the subtle differences that may in fact not be related.

It only matters if the commonality is far more influential and unimportant than the unique but import parts.

How is that line of thinking, rational?

I'm a little unclear if you are arguing that the terminology of it "being the front line" is irrational, or if equality is irrational.

If the first then I agree that it's an odd way to describe it, but I'm not sure I could explain their thinking any better than above.

If you are arguing that equality is irrational then I have to say I disagree quite strongly.

When any form of change is unfairly imposed on ONLY one section of society or in ONLY one geographic region, within the same country, there is bound to be a even greater degree of resistance.

I agree that there is resistance to seeing changes only occur in some areas. I agree it is unfair that equality isn't equally distributed.
You should first break out the relationship between CO2 and time, and the relationship between temperature data and time. You effectively normalize both for time.

So, in effect, you model the correlation between CO2/time vs. temperature/time. The interesting correlation would be if every time CO2/time deviates you can find a correlation with a temperature/time deviation.

> "But I wish the piece had spent more time talking about the trajectory of the situation instead of just a description of its current state."

I admire the leadership being shown at YC right now and the progress that has been made.

But I'd caution against mistaking these accomplishments for trajectory. Just read the most upvoted posts in this very thread, and the number of men here who perceive that "women in tech" or feminism is a vendetta or war against men.

While we certainly appear more willing to call out the most egregious and obvious sexism in the industry (see: the Tinder fiasco), there are an alarming of young, supposedly enlightened participants who are vocally and virulently against any kind of reform, and adamant in their belief that women are "shaking down" the industry with their rabid bands of "SJW" lapdogs.

Note the sheer number of posters here who have completely not addressed any substance of the article and instead are focusing on how the tone is overly abrasive or the wording ineloquent.

No, I'm not willing to optimistically call the trajectory upwards - I'm not sure if I'm willing to call the trajectory level.

Hipchat was basically unusable for me. Constant crashes, sloppy integrations, poor search, and a notification system that did more harm than good.

Slack is completely different. Pre built integrations mean I don't have to spend time writing a bot. Starred search means I can find that message from a few months ago with the click of a button. Auto responses mean I can inject some humor into conversations during the work day. Image comments mean I can use slack to gain feedback on wireframes. I could go on but theses are just some of the things that make slack far better than Hipchat.

The "and this is why it matters" is often left to be inferred by the reader. ;) General kinds of reasons include "preventing (whole classes of) mistakes" or "writing even more reusable code" or "making things fast".

I know the kind of thread you mean -- it happened to me last weekend https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/2tl8v1/making_prop... . But I really appreciated those suggestions about even more clever ways to make my code better, even though I have so far not incorporated any of them.

It helped me learn more about the shape of a space I'm only starting to explore, and since I'm exploring it for real-world reasons, the very abstract and hifaluting suggestions were easy to relate back to real-world concerns. Which is a great way to learn.

And I suspect several of the commenters there were commenting for exactly that reason -- if there's one thing the haskell community excells at, it's noticing when someone is in a receptive state (or coaxing them into one), and helping them learn.

You may think they are simple machines which do one job and pretty much never need to be changed (not an unreasonable assumption), but that's not the case. I work in the medical device field and, well, you still have to sell instruments. To do that you need to beat the competition. To do that you need more features which make the doctor's/tech's life easier and the diagnosis more accurate.

That doesn't mean upgrading is easy. At the 501k/PMA level it pretty much always requires a re-filing, so you try not to do it often. But you do improve the product over time.
Indeed. If I look at Slack which I believe is actually a wrapped HTML5 on iOS + Android it looks already very good.

But it doesn't have a lot of gestures+animations+images, so that might be the difference.
