It's a bit of a sleight of hand to conflate "other relevant" questions with the one that tptacek posed above re: Jewish people and banking (which is the one that you replied to). I agree that the relevant questions you add are ones worth exploring in this scenario; however, they shouldn't come at the expense of ignoring the experiences of she who actually experienced it. The author of the article stated that she felt uneasy about how business was going down, and that she amended her plans so as to better reflect her sensibilities. What is implausible about that? Seek the answers to your questions all you want, but overlooking the answers to them in the submitted article is willful obstinacy.

Going back to the issue at hand, your so-called easy way out is exactly what tomp was doing upthread. To paraphrase both you and him, "It's easier to put forth reasons why someone would write something like that in bad faith (mental illness, attention-seeking, etc.) and attack those discussing it that it is to actually refute it [the ongoing marginalization of the experiences of women in tech]." Underhandedly calling into question the veracity of the author's retelling overlooks the larger gender issues in the work world and sidesteps the issue at hand. It's much easier to throw out the idea that she has a mental issue, than to realize that many on-going social norms make a swath of the tech population feel unwelcome. EDIT: The moral principle that you seek is between the lines of her writing.
that is an interesting fact! wonder if there is a simple solution like a chemical blinder, that could be integrated into something sort of like a "EPO" button, making the panel inert in terms of voltage when hit? Just like the fire rescue folks can pull a breaker or service disconnect for traditional mains?
Yes it's not such a problem when it's just my 5 KW system. However here in Perth, Western Australia there are a lot of sunny days, so domestic rooftop solar systems are very commonplace now.

In my case there's some significant financial incentives to stay connected to the grid (I actually get a cheque from my power company for most of the year). That'll change in another 6 years time when this higher buyback rate expires, so I'll be looking very closely at whether I want to remain grid connected at that point.
Yeah, iranians screwed up when they took US embassy hostages. It's a fact (too lazy to put references) that that embassy was actively messing with the iranian state (I would like to see how US would react if some foreign embassy did same intensity stuff in US) and that revolution was overthrowing corrupt dictator directly installed by UK & US. They should just politely kicked them out of country, and not giving US administration more cannon fodder.

Without those hostages situation, right now Iran might have been on par with Dubai/Abu Dhabi or similar. They have the richness in oil & gas. Been there backpacking last year, people are amazingly, no AMAZINGLY friendly and nice. One of best trips of my life. They have their issues, some rather big ones, but so does other places.

Thanks! Really appreciate it.

1. The replication factor of the DHT is set to be high.
2. We'll be committed to seeding the network and will work with others to have them run nodes.
3. We will provide a full index of the DHT, so the data can be retrieved via our API as an alternative to checking the DHT (the data can be stored and mirrored anywhere, since it's hash-addressed).
> Not everybody wants to leave their country for more money

We're not talking about $100. We're talking about orders of magnitudes of your salary. That's a shitload of money.

When you start getting into magnitudes of money like that, things like nationalities and being close to your family become extremely malleable.

If you wouldn't make that choice: great. I would, and I would bet a sizeable majority of people would be totally willing to move to another country to make 100x their current salary.
Interestingly, we do something almost identical using Salt for service discovery (hey, it's built on ZeroMQ, too). We periodically ping all minions and record some information about them that gets provided as pillar data such that we can write out databases hosts and such into environment variables when configuring hosts.
The question isn't "why would I want that" it's more "given that I live in a place where grid hookup is $100k since I'm 10 miles from the nearest power line, what is my next cheapest alternative?"

Once the question is framed properly -- at least for a few million people in the US -- then the motivation for storage becomes much clearer. If you have a battery and an inverter then you hook that up and it feeds the house. And all your other power generation choices feed the battery. Solar, wind, hydro (if you live on/near a stream or river), small generator, etc.

If it costs $100k to get hooked up and then you're paying some fee for power every month it might make sense to buy the battery for $20k, buy a generator for $5k and spend $10k on a wind turbine and $10k on solar. That's $45k versus $100k which is a good chunk of change plus you can expect your prices to go down as solar panels and batteries and whatnot get cheaper, whereas fuel is only going to get more expensive.
I think this has a lot more to do with people’s expectations than inherent difficulty. EX: Becoming a chess expert takes what?
The question is: Will it be new battery just for homes or will it be a recycled/repurposed battery from 'old' Teslas?

It think it will be the later one. Elon is just thinking ahead. There is nothing really new in this story. Everything is just made up. It is quite accepted within the industry, that when the car battery has a capacity of less than 70% to 80% it needs to be replaced. But what should the car company, in this case Tesla, should do with battery? Of course, it will be re-packaged and as such repurposed for other use. What other use case is there? The other use case is Solar, especially as his friend runs a Solar company. What in incident.
Related is The Dan Plan in which a chap is trying to become a pro golfer by dedicating 10,000 hours to it (from zero experience) [1]. I seem to recall it was after Malcolm Gladwell claimed that it takes that long to achieve mastery in a discipline. Dan's almost at the 5 year mark now. I check back a couple of times a year to see how he's getting on.

I guess he feels it would be hard to justify the no risk part to a bank and its employees who aren't so familiar with the said business or industry.
YM, of course, MV, but I've worked with outsourced teams (plural) before and the decisions I've observed have suggested to me that, regardless of whatever IP agreements you've made, some will obviously be trying to build stuff they can reuse elsewhere. It's hard to enforce an IP agreement when you're in Boston and they're a couple continents away.

My thinking is "I have to install another thing onto my computer to write a script?! Eh, maybe I'll do something else with my time instead."
On zero-copy: the article claims nanomsg uses it. The official documentation at http://nanomsg.org/development-bindings.html says something else:

> Zero-copy means that the application has to deal

> directly with different native memory buffers, for

> example with blocks of shared memory, or memory pinned

> down to physical memory address (so as to be accessible

> by zero-copy CPU-bypass techniques) and so on. This is

> hard, and sometimes even impossible, to get working

> with languages with automatic garbage collection.

>

> If you still want to provide zero-copy, make sure to

> discuss it on the nanomsg mailing list or IRC channel

> in advance to avoid possible pitfalls.

So, I assume that zero-copy is not used in any out-of-the-box implementation. Maybe someone with more experience can clarify this. The documentations further mentions zero-copy only in the local form of scatter/gather (used with vmsplice etc.), which is distinct from zero-copy to the network layer.

How's the rest of the team coping with it? If other people are also stressed, it is easier to go to management for an extension.

As for just working through it, programming work is not factory work. Productivity can be negative when you're tired, and x10 when you're on a roll. You may find yourself more productive just by not doing anything for a day and coming back.
I'm ok with their coverage. They've just made it less accessible. Just another one in a long line of over-funded IT failures.
Hell, I'd move to Antarctica to make 100x my current salary.

True, but bewary of automated transfer switches. I have seen DC's fail due to ATS's not doing their job. This can be pretty dangerous for a lineman/fire rescue if your particular ATS fails to switch...

It's interesting how you consider placing a limit order as a criterion for being eligible to comment on this topic.
A realist would point our that our allies are also spying on us and the outrage is a facade being leveraged for political ends.
Including immigration law in your practice would be amazing as a small firm, usually a founder can't get that in-house until you've moved up the food chain a bit. As with everything else, create a compelling product, and a fitting pricing strategy and you'll likely do well. If you can disrupt the way founders have to pay for legal while providing quality service, I'll refer every other founder that I know.
Linux version dilemma: Linus Torvalds is “running out of fingers and toes”
I'll +1 Exercise. Meditate. Sleep. When I read your comment this is what I read though: "I committed to this goal and I gave it everything I got but still came up short. How can I make it so I didn't come up short?"

I've been there not too long ago with the goal being making a multi-million euro part of an even bigger project with 7 figure fines for delays get off the critical path in the midst of a corporate reorganization. In the end me coming up a tad short still was a resounding success for the company. The multi-year personal recovery period afterwards wasn't though.

The main thing that I've learnt is that every company is in its most optimal state when every individual in it consistently cycles between being pushed to grow AND completely relaxing. It's the same formula sporters use to get better: if you're not pushed frequently you stall and underperform; if you can't relax your dynamic range decreases and you'll slowly become less effective.

For any company to get there its employees need to internalize one very specific guideline: when you're under stress and don't see a way to fully relax and shake it off sufficiently soon it's time to reorganize the process so that your stress levels become manageable again; hard deadline or no hard deadline.
If you want raw access to devices, X11, etc, then it is not so simple. The media players I use talk to Pulseaudio, not directly to audio. Various of your needs go pretty much against sandboxing. It's much easier to focus first on applications instead of these needs. For instance, fully sandboxing and X11 won't work anyway.

It seems pretty impossible to create something which: 1) does sandboxing 2) has no limitations on what an application can do

Edit: What I meant is: Is it possible to lower your requirements or change how VLC works/can do when it is sandboxed?

Be sure you covered all your supplements. If you work indoors, you almost certainly don't get enough vitamin D. Also, multivitamins. Additionally, I take fish oil, ginkgo, and saffron and find my brain fog to be improved. But I think the Vitamin D is essential.

There is good information about supplements on examine.com

Discipline. In more way than one.

Firstly, the discipline to avoid getting exhausted in the first place. I don't knee-jerk "yes" when asked to work overtime, I make a deliberate decision despite how much pride I might have in the product or how much pressure I am put under by management. When I work overtime for a single night it's seen as a big deal and a big favor: as it should be.

Secondly, the discipline to push through if the first case of discipline somehow fell short. Then I demand leave, bonus leave, immediate leave: no questions asked. If I've had the discipline to push through, I can easily demand that my employer has the discipline to ensure that I am in top working order despite their mistake.

Take the following with a grain of salt, as I've only seen this in action once.

The language barrier is pervasive even if the consultants speak English fluently. At my last company, we hired consultants from Belarus and besides a small accent there were no problems communicating with them. However, when it came to actually coding, the differences in language were more visible.

It was mostly simple stuff. the difference between an "Order" and a "Subscription". The knowledge about western addresses (we had to explain what a postal code was). You could always tell if it was one of our consultants that wrote a given piece of code.

That being said, it was effective. We accumulated quite a bit of technical debt that we later had to pay off, but by any metric, it was successful. They were very competent programmers (one was amazing!) and I wouldn't hesitate to bring them onto another project. But I would try to micromanage more.
This is similar to what Safari does for their extensions, as a policy it sounds reasonable. However, the part about the possibility of manual review if automated checks fail is alarming.

I self distribute my extension because I found the AMO process to be infuriating. The extension would pass review then not pass and require changes. Each step in the process requires a multi-week wait in a queue. Unanswered requests for clarification, lost communications, etc, etc. After months of trying I gave up, I know I am not alone in this. The possibility of having to go back into that Kafka-esque maze is extremely disconcerting.

The manual review possibility should also be a concern of all current AMO users, as it has the potential to lengthen current queue wait times.

Does your team have a project manager? If so, he or she is the person to go to when you think a project is in jeopardy.

How did it come to this? Were the original time estimates way off? Was there significant scope creep? Were there blockers that were beyond your control (ie. tech problems with dev environments, specs were delivered late, etc.)

More than likely, the release date can be pushed.

I bought the cards on a lark after having played my own version of the game for several years (usually to get used to speaking to women unknown to me in bars). Essentially, if you want to get comfortable talking to people, you have to find ways to practice that. No joke, I've taken to using this greeting: "Hi, my name is Sean. What's your name."

I'd say 80% of the time it results in a conversation.

There are lots of specific components that can be learned for the post-introduction, and I confess that I learned a lot from a stint as a journalist that I still apply to most social settings, so you can delve into this to a greater or lesser extent – just like learning to code. But if you just want to learn to naturally do the things that other people seem to be doing naturally, I think the Rejection Therapy game is an accessible place to start, specifically because it is so unnatural.

I could talk your ear off about the ridiculous meta games I've played with friends in bars that have, unexpectedly, resulted in an ability to walk up to nearly anyone and begin a conversation. A lot of that happened by accident over several years, and I think that if someone had given me a half page of notes, I could've become comfortable in any setting in a matter of weeks. In any event, I say, start with the game. Good luck!
Not relevant to chess, but in Japanese there is a saying:
saru mo kikara ochiru. Not sure if I spaced that correctly but it amounts to "Even monkeys fall from trees"
While I see legitimate reasons to reduce population, that won't solve this problem. In fact it might make it worse.

While the future economy will be heavily automated, it will still be an economy. Declining demand will still do ugly things to it. It's likely that a drop in demand will do more to squeeze out human labor than machine labor, since the former is more expensive and in a declining economy everyone tries to squeeze margin.
Do you realize that the question being asked has nothing to do with what you are suggesting? The question is clearly about those situations where "Go get a good long sleep" is not an option. Are you going to argue that "Go get a good long sleep" is always an option, under all circumstances? if so, make that argument: detail the cases where the whole company was depending on you to reach some crucial deadline, and you felt able to go home and have a long night of sleep.

Please understand, I think your advice is good whenever it is possible. We should all try to get a good night of sleep, whenever we can. But sometimes it is not possible, and this thread is about those situations.

I assume you are intelligent enough to know that sometimes sleep is impossible. If I doubted your intelligence, then I might list the many situations where you advice does not apply. I will offer just one anecdote from my experience: in 2003 myself and my business partner were going to meet with investors on a Wednesday, to ask for $250,000. We were out of money, so we had to impress the investors, or we were doomed. I started getting ready for the demo on Monday, and I kept running into bugs, more and more bugs, endless bugs. I ended up working for 20 hours, then getting 2 hours of sleep, then working for 20 more hours, so that we could give a demo on that Wednesday that was bug free.

Sometimes sleep is not an option. That is what this thread is about.

There is a lot of arrogance in this thread. Thanks to better exposure through HN,Github etc , Indians devs are levelling up fast and I predict that in 4-5 years the quality gap will become almost non existent.
This makes a lot of sense to me, and has happened a few times. Very rarely is the crunch worth it, and almost always "burning the midnight oil" results in bad code/bad work. To the point where it might have been better to have been fresh and made a decision that resulted in 5 minutes work, or no work, versus slogging away at a waste of time because you're doggedly doing something that makes no sense.

On top of that, there seems to be a theme of employers trying to expect that lately, or "well, its IT, you're expected to work out of hours for free". Just refuse that and find a better employer, is my advice, if that happens too often.
I don't know exactly when (could be a math lesson) but when I have found memory of the Sierpinsky triangle, learned about it in class and programmed it in my home computer but it was very slow in BASIC, so I converted it in assembly language, much better.
Until I had access to a computer with a Pascal compiler and discovered that it was 'as fast as' assembly language and much easier to program.

Nice, vive Pascal but then I discovered that Pascal wasn't portable but C was so down to Pascal and here goes C (which I still like despite its numerous flaws)!
If your site is very well specified, static, and small, you might get away with outsourcing it.

A lot of startups need to be constantly iterating. That's how they make their product. Throw something up, see what the feedback is, change it. You can't do that if the devs are not very close to the feedback. And that generally means living somewhere near the customers, with attendant costs.
That's still a pilot program, though. The Wikipedia article has a good summary of various tech and installed systems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_energy_storage#Batteries
Be careful not to conflate offshoring with outsourcing, which the article does. Some startups will have their own employees overseas, but my point is specifically about outsourcing to other companies.
