In terms of women and computer science, I've been curious if anyone had followed up on Fran Allen's (the first woman recipient of the Turing Award) claims in "Coders at Work" that she personally knew of women colleagues whose work was outright stolen:

http://www.codersatwork.com/fran-allen.html

Peter Seibel. Coders at Work: Reflections of the Craft of Programming (Kindle Locations 6410-6419). Kindle Edition.

Seibel: You have been the first woman in many categories-first Turing Award winner, first IBM Fellow. Do you feel like there were women before you who were overlooked?

Allen: Oh, yes, absolutely. Seibel: So when you won the Turing, did you think to yourself, "Gee, there's another woman who should have won this a long time ago?"

Allen: Well, the very first thing I thought about was how wonderful it was. And then I started to think about all the many other women who were never recognized at all for their work. In many cases, their work was stolen. I thought about the women who had done some very amazing things that have not been recognized, even by their peers. When I approach them and say, "You need to join some professional organizations-I'll write some recommendations for you," they kind of shy away from that.

Seibel: So you think that part of the problem is they don't get recognized because they're not putting themselves in a place to be recognized as easily.

Allen: Right.

Seibel: Are there any particular folks that you would like to name-to give a little recognition now? Allen: Well, there's Edith Schonberg, who is a great computer scientist. In terms of technical work, it's just one first after another on some of her papers. She's had work stolen-absolutely brutally stolen. She wrote a paper on debugging of parallel code, which is a very hard problem. It was not accepted at a conference and somebody who had been on the program committee made three papers out of it. That kind of thing. It happens in our field and we don't have good ways of dealing with it.

Seibel: And it happens more to women?

Allen: Yes, I think it does. They were often viewed as not going to put up a fight-that they were more isolated and don't have the advocates who will deal with a famous thief. He was a famous thief, known but nobody dared touch it. And there are plenty of others way back from the Stretch days. There was a woman who essentially was the inventor of multiprogramming and credit was taken by somebody who eventually became a Turing Award winner.
Because you rewrote history it is harder to see what was written, tested by hand and tested with CI at what time.
Well, but after 30 years, when you retire the place is yours own and your monthly payment goes down. Even if you saved that 100-150 euro every month, you'd not afford buying it after 30 years, assuming it stayed at the same price-point.

On the other hand, it is hard to believe you can rent a 200k€ place for 500€/m. In Warsaw, a 2-room 40-50 m² apartment in the city center costs about 400-500€/m to rent, but if you wanted to buy it, offer prices start below 100k€.
I have to agree. All the talk about STEM eating the world in mind, the fact remains that the vast majority of scientists, no matter how well distinguished, are not celebrities.
What I've always found intriguing about Adobe, is the absence of public betas for its main softwares. How do they manage to ship without large, real world usage ?

Industrial control systems and engineering simulation suites are my personal programming experience, so my work is all entirely back-end or desktop based development.

I know very little about web programming or website development to be honest although we are starting to offer some of our applications through web services so my knowledge in that area is due to begin increasing very soon as a necessity.
There is difference between rewriting a "published" history from your local repo. I am heavily relying the ability to rewrite history before pushing. I hate seeing people pushing a series of commits (in a single push I mean) where the two first ones introduces a big mess and the subsequents are tentative to fixup the mess.
Even though it's beside the point, I personally was born in Russia. A lot of Russian journalists opposing the government were murdered, for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Politkovskaya

When you demand "facts", do you demand definite proof that the government did it (a bloody hard thing to obtain in the case of a murdering government), or are you claiming that the UK murders a similar amount of journalists?

As to "countries that I consider free" - I don't know where you get insight into my thinking; I was talking specifically about the UK which the grandparent brought up.

I have to admit that I'm sick and tired of relativism brought to a point where black and white are supposed to be indistinguishable. Seriously, who'd you rather fuck with, the Putin government or the current UK government? I think we all know the answer. Why are people wishing to sound "objective" so eager to ignore the obvious?

I had a phone screen, 2 quick coffee meetups with CEO (<30 mins).

I was then given access to github and told to implement a fairly simple feature in the next few days. This was with a stack I didn't know, so I had to prove that I can navigate my way through the code base. I sat down on the weekend, learned the basics of Rails, and implemented the feature. I then pushed upstream to github and was told I was hired a few days later.

So, that seems to be an open question in Texas. The Texas law leaves a lot up to interpretation, so reversing charges for nail holes would require suing your landlord. I'm not sure, but I think the situations in Florida and Virginia are similar.
> First, I only get paid 80% as much

When you consider tax, you're getting more than that.
Oh right... yeah I guess that's true.
If that's from the O-Zone song, it translates (from Romanian) "you only don't take me" - was it a pun?

I think the idea is that the branches cascade. You would never create new commits directly into release or master, the flow would only ever be develop > release > master, thus making merge commits and conflicts impossible.
Another social issue. In the projects i work with, it is commonly agreed upon and known that of course after a rebase every commit needs to be retested and reverified with CI. It is a bit of extra work, but as i mentioned in another commit: We do that extra bit of work now, to avoid having to analyze the cross-talk of a bunch of branch merges at a later point; mainly because that bit of later work often turns out to be considerably bigger. (Technical debt is a talking point here.)

Of course, this might be unviable when under unusual time pressures.
Disappointed Dev Update after 24 Hours: "After speaking with Stripe I have decided to end our dealings. Unfortunately the issue could not be resolved. We are looking at alternate providers."
I am continually amazed by the guys at Serif. First, they are offering Designer at £29.99. Secondly, in spite of the trumpeted GPU preview updates in CC 2015, Affinity Designer just blows Illustrator away in rendering and moving around the document. It's really impressive and ends up being much more pleasant to work in.
1) No, the resolution is a function of the solid angle taken by the screen. Yes, there needs to be an uptick in PPIs but 8000x10000 is basically a hard cap on what's necessary (corresponding to a field of view of 135x180 with a visual acuity of one arc minute). There are already prototypes doing 2000PPI so it'll be at most a few years.

2) It doesn't have to be clear that VR will succeed for it to represent a threat to IMAX's business.
Whataboutism is a fallacy when being used to dismiss the argument entirely. It is not a fallacy when used to state that the reason other problems are dismissed should also apply here.

The difference is:

Fallacy: "What about Y. X isn't a big deal as long as Y is an issue."

Not Fallacy: "What about Y. Y isn't a big deal because A, B, and C. A, B, and C also apply to X, so shouldn't that mean X isn't an issue as well."

The problem comes in that the second sentence in each scenario is left shortened if not completely left out, making it hard to tell which version of 'What about' a person is using.

Yes, that's indeed a none-obvious issue, and looks rather strange on the graph.

That's not the 'partial evaluation' per se. Instead, it is the difference between RPython and HotSpot that surfaces here. RPython does currently generated singled threaded VMs, and neither the GC nor the compilation are done in separate threads. The HotSpot JVM however can do those things in parallel and additionally has other infrastructure threads running. In the end, this increases the likelihood that the OS reschedules the application thread, which becomes visible as jitter.
I'm explaining why it is seen as a negative. Treating that person the same as anyone else is your group is what is appropriate.

>And then you accuse him of viewing all women with suspicion. Do you not see the hypocrisy?

I don't view all men with suspicion so no. I view men who act like he described with suspicion though.

>He's not complaining about "women" being "devious."

"Is she going to report me for code of conduct violations when things don't go her way?"

That's actually exactly what he was doing.

>He's complaining about the poisonous and paranoid culture that is created when certain groups have carte blanche to hang the scarlet letter of "Harassment" on you for God-only-knows what reason.

No group has that ability though. What is happening is he's built up in his mind this boogyman and is letting his fears of it control his actions in such a way that he is actually making himself act in a negative way.

>A person is a person. Isn't that the goal of "equality"?

Yes, and that is exactly what I said above. He was describing a situation where him and his group were specifically not treating people equally and being upset because his actions in differentiating a person from his group was off putting.

>At the same time though, your comfort zone does not automatically obligate everyone around you to change.

The thing is though the community has decided on a set of rules for how people should act to be a part of it. If you can't live by those conventions then fine but you can't complain about being excluded from the community when you don't.

If you find being asked to treat people civilly and equally to be a threat to you then odds are you really need to reevaluate who you are as a person.

No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, everyone is an asshole at different times or acts inappropriately. Being able to recognize that you are in the wrong at those times instead of blaming society is a part of belonging to it though.
I could not help myself. We have had a nightmare dealing with the money extracting CC. Between their licensing and their use of Flash for their horrible UI. Upvoted.
Yes, thank you for explaining this so well. I commented on that elsewhere, but didn't do it nearly as well as you did.
You can do it but at GitLab we advise against it if you can avoid it. Many things become harder, for example it is more work to to link merge requests to issues and you can't push a commit to help a person without them giving you access first.
You're probably right but will it in 5 years is the question you need to ask?

You always pay over the odds to rent initially but due to inflation and relative property prices it becomes good value rather quickly.

I don't know who has this happen to them more often, but I know a lot of stories about theft among male scientists as well. And think about the whole system of PhD where students to the work and the supervisor gets the fame.

Not convinced that this is not just a case of bad framing.
I think a lot of the harm comes from people treating science as some sort of monolithic entity. Science says X! Science says Y! When really it's more like some scientists over here have found some evidence for X, some over here did some work that points to Y.

It's neat that mainstream enthusiasm for science has grown so much in the last few years, but it seems like a lot of times this kind of treatment oversimplifies things.
I really like your statement that science is a hill climbing algorithm (with the ability to get away from local maximums). I think it's important to note that science isn't always right, but if it's not there currently, it's working on it and will get there.
>But who is calling just any theater "IMAX"?

I'm not saying any theater but I have noticed that some visitors to Epcot refer to the Canada and China 360-degree movies as "IMAX". The actual designation is "CircleVision 360". But people don't remember that 7-syllable trademark. The first word that comes to the tip of their tongue is "IMAX" because that word has become a placeholder for "any immersive large screen experience".

>Something else you have to consider is intent.

Yes, but society's casual use of "Escalator" to "escalator" and "Kleenex" to "kleenex" didn't have any kind of mastermind conspiracy to dilute the trademark. It just happened. I'm guessing most trademarks erode without malicious intent.

Could Otis Escalator and Kleenex lawyers have done anything to stop the trademark erosion?
I noticed that too. I think it's the rhetorical hook but also the context. The supply chain is a pretty good story and makes an interesting story out of what would otherwise be "just" mobile e-commerce sites for hairdressers. Fair enough. Arguably, fixing the supply chain to make it more efficient may involve a series of dis-intermediation steps, of which this could be the first. Perhaps the hairdressers will go directly to India or China -- or perhaps Mayvenn will do that on their behalf (taking just a little bit for the effort). Guesses. All guesses.
If someone (such as OP) believes that SteamVR can be a competitive experience with IMAX, then they can believe it can be certified or licensed by IMAX. Thus consumer confusion is possible here.

And there's a difference in saying "Twice the resolution of IMAX!" (for example) and saying "It's like having an IMAX theater in your house." Those aren't the same kinds of statements.
to this west coast usian ear, 'whom do you trust' sounds hopelessly antiquated and pedantic.
Do you screen for cigarettes and alcohol use as well? Smoke breaks take up a lot of time, and someone with a hung over or slight buzz can be a safety issue.

What I've seen is that most companies don't care about those. They only care about illegal drugs. Even legal prescriptions that could have nasty effects are not judged harshly.

In short, there are more defensible reasons to drug test than what I listed, but they don't show up often in practice.

Yes, LLVM has two tiers, a front end, and a back end (someone else correct me if i butcher concepts or names):

The front end basically converts your human readable code to LLVM intermediate byte code (called IR, or intermediate representation). The byte code is independent of a CPU or programming language.

A second stage then turns that IR into x86 code or ARM code, etc. (these are "targets").

In this case, they added a target so it converts the IR into WebAssembly (which is, funny enough, yet another byte code).

You could probably, technically write any language to this but JS has certain behaviors and the JS engine will probably expect those behaviors.
Most programmers I know professionally and personally are working within variations on the theme of civil engineering, logistics, finance or telecom. Sure some of them occasionally write tools that are accessed via a web browser, but non of them would probably classify themselves as "web developers".
You did not address a single specific points I made.

I specifically mean the behavioral capacity of general intelligence

Any image-matching algorithm can be used to generate images. A simple color-matcher can be used to create very impressive things if plugged into a genetic algorithm, but no one claims it's conscious or intelligent. None of what you wrote here points out some fundamental differences between this and other image-generating techniques used before. You're simply trivializing what it means to be conscious or intelligent to the point that word is no longer useful.

I will consider an AI to be "generic" when it is able to apply training from one domain to an entirely different domain without any manual "mapping" from humans. For example, being able to decently play checkers after learning chess and being given a description of checker's rules. Applying training in image domain to image domain with tons of manual tweaking might be interesting and useful, but it's hardly qualifies as "mind-blowing".
NEVER switch completely to a x.0 Adobe CS/CC release.

ALWAYS wait for the x.0.1 and keep your prior versions handy.

The only problem with this update is Adobe forgot how bad they are at x.0 releases, defaulted to deleting prior versions, and made it cumbersome to just say no.
If house prices cross a threshold where first time buyers can't afford to get onto the property ladder, they're forced to rent - driving up competition for stock & thus rental prices. (This appears to be affecting more & more people in the UK).
This. So much this. I hate looking through history and seeing crap like "lol forgot semicolon". Rebasing when you're still in your feature branch before the code hitting master to make your commits succinct, readable and above all not contain known broken code is a must.
Bingo! Recently I've been working on resolving a bug with a small group of coworkers. We created a repo in which we have been rewriting public branches all the time. You just send an e-mail. Everyone just has to know how to migrate their local changes.

$ git fetch # the rewritten world
$ git checkout
Your branch and 'origin/foobar' have diverged,
and have 13 and 17 different commits each, respectively.
(use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)

Now I happen to know that only 3 out of the 13 divergent commits on foobar are my local commits. I rebase my local foobar branch to the upstream one, migrating just those 3, and ditching the remaining ten:

$ git rebase HEAD~3 origin/foobar

Easy.

This is all just test code people are trying in investigating the bug. Any permanent fixes arising are properly cleaned up, commented, and submitted via Gerrit to a whole other repo where they are cleanly cherry picked to a linear trunk which is never rewritten.
It's a good thing that science can change. This is what distinguishes science from dogma.

The problem is not these supposed 'reversals', but rather how this information is being reported. Pop-science media reports modest studies as absolute truths to catch eyeballs. When one study merely suggests research in one direction, it's emblazoned as fact on the tabloids.

In the example you identified: "Fatty food is bad - no it's good" the issue is not the studies flip-flopping. Rather, it's a problem of regular people taking what are likely modest reports way too far and massively integrating them into their daily lives, without ever reading the study and understanding the context or scope of it. A study indicating that, say, there may be health problems associated with consuming excess saturated fat seems to compel people to follow no-fat diets. So I'd argue that the bigger problem is people reading oversimplified reports of scientific information

I mean, I'm not terribly familiar with this field, but the study itself indicates that whether high or low serotonin levels were contributory was "a matter of debate" and that "only a few studies have used molecular neuroimaging to examine serotonin dysfunction in SAD directly."[1] So this doesn't appear to be a reversal at all, but rather a study which helps clarify the role of serotonin in SAD.

What I'm personally really surprised about is that nobody's rewriting Redis as a unikernel to clear away all the OS context-switching/networking overhead from its basic operations.
Actually in the tech sector the price vs salary ratio is pretty consistent all over the UK. The prices are high in London but you earn a pile of cash. The inverse is also true elsewhere.

London is one of those crazy places where a job jump can actually get a salary boost larger than the national average salary in its entirety which is where the short term advantage is if you know how to play the market.
Also new to 2015, god forbid you lose internet for 2 seconds because the Creative Cloud menu instantly takes over your screen to complain. Every time.

3. Beat that.
I wish - I'm currently renting a house for 1200 pounds/month(so...1900 USD per month) and the agency took $1000 just to take the property off the market("admin fee" - non-returnable, doesn't go towards the deposit, it's just money down the drain really), then 1 month rent as deposit, and 1 month rent in advance. So really, I spent nearly $6k just to start renting a place.

I'm really considering a mortgage, but don't have money for the downpayment. Our mortgage payments would be actually less than what we pay for rent now.
Especially since they now have a pretty straightforward beta seeding program available with Creative Cloud subscriptions. Pretty sure a public beta would have caught the SVG issue.
Ah so I had the gist of it but it's actually even better than I thought, two tiers. Nice. Thank you for an informative answer and I'll be sure to read up on LLVM later today.
