It doesn't seem relevant to the bug you posted, but as long as you're here... I'm always annoyed by the vagueness of JSON.parse syntax errors. Instead of showing the source file and line number of the call to json.parse (or even better the location of the syntax error in the json string it failed to parse) I get "uncaught syntax error in index.html:1". I know now that that usually means i've forgotten to wrap a json.parse in a try..catch, but it's caught me out a few times.

That's missing the point, though. It's about regret—what people feel they didn't pay attention to when they were younger and healthy, not what is going on at the moment of death.

To say such a thing also isn't necessarily opposed to belief that hard work is good, or that it is valuable to one's self and society. It simply means that if you work too much, you can miss out on life.
Exactly at the point where I place it.

Because Kernel changes should never break backwards compatibility, so that would mean the major version number would never change, making it worthless.

And you'd end up with very large numbers for the minor numbers, which Linus seems to dislike.

... actually, versioning large files is easy, but not directly in git.

https://github.com/bup/bup strategically breaks files to chunks of ~8k length, in a way that makes small changes to a big file become a small change to a small number of chunks (ideally, changing one byte in a 80GB file would change exactly one such 8KB chunk -- and that is often the case, though it's common than 3 or 4 would change).

bup then puts[0] the chunks into git, together with a "reconstruction map". As a result, you can efficiently put huge files in git and only pay for the real deltas in storage.

[0] It doesn't actually use git or libgit - it writes git packs directly.
"A sweeping statement like "women only care about social validation, and that's why there aren't many in tech" is sexist."

I feel that you're making really strong and incorrect assumptions about my posts. I never said that "women only care about social validation". Is it wrong to say that more women frown upon occupations that are seen to be held by social pariahs and outcasts by society at large? Why would an ambitious woman be interested in becoming what's seen as an educated plumber or janitor when she can aspire to become a respected high level, finance executive or powerful lawyer instead? imo it's more common sense rather than misogyny.

Also some sweeping gender statements are actually true, such as men being more prone to violence than women.

"Second, that's sweeping under the rug the constant discrimination against women that is keeping them out of our industry."

I agree that there's a ton of discrimination against women in the tech industry. But really how of this discrimination keeps women from actually joining our fields? Your argument would make more sense if there were a lot of women entering AND then leaving, but that doesn't happen. Few actually even try entering our field. Look at the military. While things are slowly changing, there are few environments more toxic to women than the military's male dominated, authoritarian atmosphere (gender discrimination is horrible, but rape that isn't prosecuted and punished is much worse); the tech industry isn't even close to being as bad. This is pretty well known to society at large, yet there are more women joining the military (and then leaving) than there are women joining the tech industry; which leads me to believe that the general social perception of our field is just horrible when the even armed forces are beating us at female recruitment. Now let's look at finance. The average wage gap in the financial industry for genders is the worst compared to other industries (about $0.70 to a $1), investment banks have the reputation of being 'frat houses', and yet more women enter finance than our industry. imo gender discrimination isn't as strong of a force for deterring women from entering a field. Gender discrimination is much stronger at affecting how long women stay active and how far they can rise within a field.

Historically there's been a ton of discrimination against women in pretty much every field. I feel that the sectors that already got 'fixed' (i.e. somewhat better than before) were the ones where large numbers of women have entered due to interest (i.e. politics, healthcare, business, legal). Those women were well aware of the toxic environment, but the interest level was so high they joined anyway. I feel that while education and company policies regarding discrimination helped those sectors, the larger female presence was a stronger force. I just don't see that in technical fields.
At 40-something, I find that money and health have become increasingly important. However, they both depend heavily on the foundations I laid in my 20s and 30s. So watch out.

I can't think of too much I wish I had known, but there are quite a few things I wish I had fully internalized:

- the math behind financial freedom and how small differences in savings rate, burn rates, and the carrying cost of owning "stuff" can greatly impact one's chances of reaching it;

- the almost unbelievable opportunity and money costs of having children (I thought I knew.... but I was off by orders of magnitude);

- that compounding growth (in any aspect of one's life, not just investing) only matters if you give it time. Start today with a little instead of waiting for the day you have "enough" to start;

- the importance of due diligence. I spent more time and care speccing out my personal computers than I did buying my home. Then compounded my error by hanging on to it long after I should have cut my losses;

- that if you are not working towards a specific destination, you're just floating where the wind and tide take you and hoping you end up somewhere good;

- the importance of caring for your body, listening and acting on its complaints rather than pushing yourself harder;

- that where you end up is mostly (aside from a certain element of sheer chance) the result of the choices YOU make (or allow others to make on your behalf) in life;

- to seek out relationships with the kind of people you wish you were. You grow to be more like the people you have around you;

- to learn from the past, and then let go of it. You need to focus on the future. It's especially important to let go of cynicism and bitterness as they poison your future and hurt everyone else around you;

- to take the long view when weighing your options and making your plans;

- that willpower is severely limited. I wish I had done more to make the right choices the easiest/default ones. Examples include automated savings, only keeping healthy foods in the house, building exercise habits into my daily routine, etc.;

> By all accounts she's also doing very well as an operator at Reddit.

That's completely the opposite of what the linked article claims. It says that a reddit employee sent the defense a letter asking to subpena reddit employees regarding conflicts with Ellen Pao.
It was a serious design flaw to move away from physical write-enable protection. Physical interlocks for rare-but-important events such as upgrading firmware should exist in almost all situations.

Look back at floppy disks: while many people were caught by the write-protect tab/switch while they were still learning, it was an easy concept for people to understand once taught. I knew many non-technical people that quickly adopted habits that utilized write-protection.

The physical interlock is something that can be taught a lot easier than how to use crypto without screwing up. If you require proactive checking or fancy technique, it will be forgotten and skipped. On the other hand, if you fail the update with a message "did you forget to flip the write-protect switch? [picture of switch]", a lot of people will figure it out.

There are similarities to Schneier's (et al) recommendation to make good (long, random) passwords, but write them down and keep them someplace safe. (i.e. leverage the physical security knowledge that people already have)
The answer is probably they spent around two days building this before demand grew left them zero time to improve infrastructure. Which is more or less good.

These things nearly are free if they'll last (and are used) for 20 years.

These things are pretty inexpensive if you already have conduit and room on a power panel.

That's why my local city requires new construction, from single-family up to big apartment buildings, to pre-install conduit etc. such that it's not bad to subsequently add chargers to garages and parking areas. It's pretty cheap to do that at construction time; for retrofitting, the argument revolves around how to amortize the (admittedly larger) cost over the lifetime of the asset.

My city even has street parking and public garages with chargers.

These are not hard problems to solve. The main unknown is whether chargers are going to be actively used for a long time or not.
Small meta-comment: it's very annoying to see your comments consistently downvoted (even when you're not playing your shtick).

> Oh, it probably is. Someone has to propose radical ideas or moderate changes never happen. Radicalism is the role I've had to take on these issues, for a variety of reasons not worth getting into.

So, I appreciate your line of reasoning here, but I'm not sure if it's the most effective one. In fact, I think your approach is getting you the exact opposite result of what you want. The thing is, playing a radical is extremely hard, hard especially when you aren't even that genuinely radical. Stallman plays a radical superbly, and I think that really is because he genuinely believes everything he says. I fear that when you say radical things, they can be served as arsenal for the other side, who coopts your arguments as reductio ad absurdum devices for opposite goals.

How Can Decision Making Be Improved? (2008) [pdf]
Based on two recommendations, I went and read the slatestarcodex article. I too enjoyed it greatly, though I had a methodological quibble or two.

The main reason I'm commenting is because I want to note that the entire point of the article you linked is to debunk the articles in the third paragraph (none of which I have read).
#1 : tech workers are not under attack. Your suggestion that they are and a far drawn remark that it relates to the oppression faced by blacks/jews is an appeal to extremes and is a logical fallacy.

Why is it an appeal to extremes? Not all racial prejudice or violence is extreme. My original point was that we should apply the same standards to claims about tech workers as we would about racial stereotypes, that is, to view them critically and demand evidence.

#2 : In the real world, people conduct violence against others all the time for varied reasons. Just because you have a well paying job doesn't make you immune.

This is a view of mine that you have invented. I never said tech workers should be immune from the real world, but rather that inciting violence is always wrong, and is wrong in this case. Would you tell middle class gays that they are not immune from the real world, and need to deal with violence from people who don't like them?

#3 : The left/right/center .. Has nothing to do w/ this matter. If you're an asshole, someone might...

You can't just rationalize violence so easily. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, or that tech workers deserve special protections not afforded to others. But just because worse things happen to other people, doesn't make violence against tech workers ok. People who face real struggles and adversity probably find White middle class feminists to be cry baby's too, but that doesn't mean these feminists have nothing to complain about.

I don't need any lesson in how to live my life, I live a life consistent with my views which are different to yours. You see value in the grittiness of people's lives outside the White middle class. I also see this value, but I don't think it's necessary for a person to be exposed to this in order to live a fulfilling life.

> Your only evidence is one letter sent by anonymous employee (assuming the NYT has accurately described the person in question and they were in fact at Reddit).

Do you really need more evidence? Your CEO should be a pillar of stability. A rock, a mountain of fortitude. One mistake or "situation" I can understand, but it appears her issues have followed her to reddit. There's clearly and obviously something more going on. Again the point is not one of right or wrong, but who you want heading up your company. And quite frankly, I wouldn't want her anywhere near my properties.

If you have a person who never does anything wrong, but trouble has a way of following them everywhere, would you want that person working for you? Put yourself in the shoes of reddit's board. This isn't about her career, they don't care about her career, her needs or wants, it's about what's best for reddit.

This isn't a fantasy world where ideology wins out, the good guy wins, and pragmatism and compromise are only found it stories... No, this is the real world where you have to weigh the benefits and drawbacks and make extremely hard and difficult decisions.
Really? So you're using these tests as a crutch? The personality type who does well on these may have no correlation to actual work. Even Google has stopped using these. I ask simple "What if" questions, and describe a scenario, sit with a white board, and see their next steps. It shows their strengths, their weaknesses, where they go to first, where they find passion, and where they find dis-interest. That's my approach.

The question isn't, "what's the cheapest fuel at the moment?" The question is what's the cheapest carbon-neutral power source that could scale up to meet future global demand?

Daniel Nocera has been arguing for years that using solar energy to split water into hydrogen (ie. the "artifical leaf") is the best strategy. Not even nuclear can scale to meet global demand[1]. But solar devices can be mass manufactured and distributed to the point-of-use (leap-frogging the need for massive infrastructure investment).[2]

A comment on Ovid's blog post says:

> Perl 6 does some compile time type checking but it only works in some very simple cases.

I was thinking that all P6 code had static types that were checked at compile-time and some code, not much, also had dynamic types that were checked at run-time.

In the form of a question/answer series, here's how I thought things worked:

> When are types checked?

Static types are checked at compile-time.

> What's a "static type"?

Class types like Any, Int, Str, and users' classes.

Additionally, static subsets.

> What's a "static subset"?

Subsets are the subsets introduced by Ovid in the OP.

A static subset is one that the compiler has decided to reduce to and treat as a finite set.

The compiler may treat Wday in the following code as a static subset and thus a static type:

my enum Day <Su M Tu W Th F Sa>;
subset Wday of Day where M .. F;

Currently Rakudo does not treat any subsets as static types.

> So what are dynamic types?

Subsets that aren't (treated as) static are (treated as) dynamic subsets and are thus treated as dynamic types. These are the only dynamic types.

> Which code avoids dynamic types and hence is fully type-checked at compile time?

All "untyped" code. Scalar containers ($foo, @bar[1], @bar[2] etc.) and values are assigned the static type Any. Of course this is pretty trivial but it is type checking and it does happen at compile-time. :)

Most if not all the code in the core libraries.

Most of the code in the ecosystem.

Can you somehow handle requests that are primarily research questions, that don't necessarily culminate in an immediate (or an intermediated) financial translation?

I'm just thinking about requests that ask for a recommendation for a product or a service that won't be purchased right away (like finding a certain kind of restaurant with certain parameters, but not getting food delivered from it, or finding a certain kind of professional service without immediately contracting for it).

Or for that matter factual questions like "Who won the 2014 Oscar for Best Documentary Feature?".

Would this somehow look like "I found 3, and I'll tell you about them for $5, OK?"? Will people be more resistant to paying the fee if the fee is the only item they're paying, rather than bundled with the price of some other transaction?

Thanks for stalking me instead of taking my comment at face value (I wonder if that's a new, evolving form of the ad hominem logical fallacy).

It's funny, actually. I've never seen so many downvotes flying on hackernews as I have in this thread. Not my comment, this is actually my first downvoted comment on this website in 2 years (which would contradict your claim of me being "a troll"), but watching this thread proves it's a hot button issue for many people.

I'm a "she" by the way. And no, my comment history isn't littered with rude comments. I may speak frankly and honestly which is often confused with being rude, especially to those who are extremely sensitive to such things, but the hard truth should never be considered "rude", it should be welcomed. Warts and all.
