I find it disappointing to read any comments on feminism anywhere on the internet, from almost any angle. Between the outright attacks, debate framing, emotional reasoning, and near-religious adherence to party lines on things like redefinitions of the word "violence", it's impossible to have any sort of real conversation. This is without even considering the input of the trolls who just want to watch the world burn. The most you can do is nod along in an echo chamber, or see who can yell out their "facts" the loudest.

Heh. This is the least bad thing about IE.

The worst thing MS did with IE was implementing proprietary, and very aggressively protected, solutions to common problems. Developers, excited about the new features, rushed to support what they felt was the next generation of web technologies, only to get caught in Microsoft's trap. Once they held the marketshare majority, they stopped innovating.

Safari is nowhere close to a majority player in the market (not even on mobile). Thus, it could never be considered equivalent to the evils of IE.
Ok, that makes much more sense than Apple screwing up their website that badly.

Wow, I had a mental failure there (way to add up to 50% instead of 100% Nadya!) I apologize for that and thank you for pointing out that bullshit. Juggling work and a few convos and did indeed make a major blunder in my math there. (Embarrassingly so...)

>In a truly fair world those numbers would be much closer to 50/50, but that's a separate discussion.

This completely disregards any and all preference for genders when it comes to these positions. There are personal preference for jobs and only in a truly unfair and heavily regulated world that does not account for human factors and gender preferences would it ever be 50/50.

I don't think many people will outright say on the record they want to be billionaires on here because then it looks like they're just in it for the money. There's a stigma against wanting to be rich in this industry over just 'passionate'.

I wonder how many people say internally to themselves they want to be like one of those people, but are willing to put in the work to get there. How many people are really willing to make the sacrifices to be at the top.

I think it's this:

> The study’s authors—[…]—found that users were 45% more likely to click on results that were ranked purely by relevance, rather than as Google ranks them now, with its own services displayed prominently.

If users are clicking on results 45% less often, that suggests they aren't getting results that are as useful to them. From that it seems fairly reasonable to claim that this is harmful to consumers.
His kind is rare. Roger Federer and Pete Sampras are still the norm as far as tennis champions are concerned.

I remember reading about Nadal how he showed up to his hotel restaurant after a match in shorts. The restaurant had a shoes and jacket policy, but the manager was obviously willing to make a compromise for the distinguished guest.

His uncle (and coach), however, scolded Nadal in front of the manager and commanded him to change into something more presentable.

So the champion, after having played a four set match, trooped back to his room, wore a jacket and shoes, and came back to eat his dinner.

Can you imagine a NFL player ever doing something like that?
It's even better than blurring the perception between private and official bodies. They now run an "accreditation" program for local chambers of commerce, some of which have membership that would hold divergent views. This national organization is a lobby for big business and has little regard for small town business owners.
Very interesting indeed. Is there any portfolio, even for fake brands, so I can see the range of styles their logos may have?

Will there ever be an Elm which compiles to real machine code? I'm currently learning Haskell, and find it a combination of mindblowingly amazing (pattern matching, monads, STM) and mindnumbingly crazy-making (namespaces, debugging, strictness).

Do all these nations use STOVL-only carrier designs? I thought there were conventional take-off carriers as well...

Or were these fleets built from passed-on UK carriers?

Can anyone speak as to how likely it is for this study to be unbiased? It was sponsored by Yelp, and Yelp obviously has an agenda to push. The fact that it was sponsored by them does not necessarily mean that the study was influenced, but it does raise that possibility.
I think we've discovered over time that OS Kernels aren't the place for Grand Abstractions.

Grand Abstractions are cool and powerful when you are happy to live within their universe. But they tend to be incompatible with other Grand Abstractions.

That's why modern kernels tend to focus on Boring Abstractions (threads, processes, locks, memory maps, files, cgroups, etc.) Then the interesting and more opinionated stuff can happen in user-space (Docker, JIT-comiling VMs, web browsers, mobile apps, etc)

What to Wear When You're Not Given a Dress Code
This is basically study done by Yelp employees saying that Google results for local intent queries include more from Google+ than on Yelp and people participated in their study didn't liked that. Well...

Yelp obviously wants to monetize their (ummm, sorry, users content) content. I would think company like Google wouldn't have much problem paying Yelp but probably their demands are too much (just my guess). So Google showed them the door and decided to do their own thing and now Yelp has problem with that.

For companies like Yelp, I would suggest they respect users intent and rights. Millions of users have sweated on to create all these content on Yelp. They shouldn't be building a giant walled garden around it. Instead they should just make all data available with a fair license to anyone who wants to use it. When more companies like Apple, Samsung etc buys their licences, it might be overall better for them than to get one huge deal out of one company. May be they should even make their data available for free for research (they did made small part available, but I'm saying why not all of it?). When the community works on this data, lot of cool ideas can spark which again benefit them to get more licensing deals and would make it worth for users who sweated out to create all this content.
No private entity should be allowed to put "United States" in their title because of this exact confusion. This issue has been brought up in municipalities and the businesses were forced to remove the name of the city.
Hi, we are working on getting that lifted (I'm one of the maintainers.) Right now you're best bet is to sign up for your own API key/secret and supply those via either a config file or command line arguments:

--client_id API client_id
--client_secret API client_secret

See https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli/issues/65#issuecomment-13... for details on how to get those.
Shouldn't it be a highly poignant here, that only Google has access to the data necessarily to police Google's conduct?

"Can I post a job ad?

A regular "Who Is Hiring?" thread appears at the beginning of every month, and you're welcome to post there. The rest of the time, job posts are reserved for Y Combinator-funded startups.

An account named whoishiring is the only one allowed to submit the regular threads. This prevents a race to post them first.

A single YC startup job post may appear on the front page at a time. Job posts have no vote arrow and just a timestamp in place of the usual story details. They begin partway down the front page and fall steadily in rank."
It's reasonable to take it with a grain of salt. Particularly to give a very suspicious eye to their research methodologies.
I use safari as my main browser, but yesterday I had to add

AFAIK there is not. Maybe one of their devs will see this and can provide a link or something though.

I still don't get it - how are they making money if they don't rent or sell those housing units?

"Minutes later, Page’s death wish was granted. Two Clay County sheriff’s deputies arrived to find that he had taken a neighbor hostage. They opened fire, striking him five times in the torso and once in the head"

I'm not sure what you would like the police to do other than this. They are here to protect us. If someone has a gun or a weapon and will not put it down, they need to be stopped.

I would rather have this than innocent people getting hurt in the process.

So, we are blaming the cops for doing their jobs and at the same time trying to put more and more restrictions on law-abiding gun owners. Innocent and law-abiding citizens are the only ones getting hurt with this mindset.
Ask HN: How to deal with female name on resume?
I'm a female working in the finance/tech industry. Applying to companies, I'm worried that the gendered name on my resume might be poisoning employers' perception of me: http://whatwouldkingleonidasdo.tumblr.com/post/54989171152/how-i-discovered-gender-discrimination.

Do you believe that this kind of name-based bias is strong enough that I should somehow change my resume to show something other than my name? Also, I'm working with a recruiter, should I tell him my concern?
Maybe I'm reading it differently than you, but I don't see that statement as being particularly meaningful. All that says is that they didn't have access to Google's actual internal data on clickthrough rates. Which is not surprising.

It turns out what they did was use a site called UsabilityHub (which is intended for testing website designs) to show the study participants a screenshot of search results. One screenshot showed Google's results, while another shows search results that were purportedly sorted purely by relevance. I'm assuming users simply reported whether they would have clicked on any results on the page, but the article doesn't go into that level of detail. I also assume the users weren't told whether they were looking at the genuine results or not.

Given that, there's nothing at all surprising about that statement you highlighted. In fact, unless Google were willing to actually run the study themselves, randomly showing either their current results or results sorted purely by "relevance", and gathering the real clickthrough rates, then what the article describes here seems like the only real reasonable way to do this.
That's a nice ideal, but reality is that it's really easy to need POSIX APIs and then you're firmly in autotools land. That said, I don't like autotools because it encourages #ifdef style nonsense, but not using it requires a lot more thought and more than a little rolling-your-own code and techniques.
My theory is that JR+lots of requirements means "We want talent but we don't want to pay for it. Hey, it doesn't hurt to ask..."
I've long since considered getting stink spray, basically the concentrated aerosol version of what is in a stink bomb, and spraying it in any smoking areas.

You basically can't make Schmidhuber look "low-status" within the subfield of neural networks. He puts some weird stuff on his personal website, but his work wins contests and his publication record speaks for itself.
I'll usually look at all of the company's tech (and sometimes other) job listings, even if I'm not interested in the jobs, just to get a sense of how the organization works, and what sort of development environment they have. A few red flags:
Don't say you're looking for an "engineer" and then mention that the job involves implementing someone else's specifications (engineers specifically design products -- they're not ticket monkeys)

Along the same lines, asking for a JavaScript developer and then tacking on "must have great UX skills" is a huge red flag. Does the company really not know enough about UX that they think it's appropriate for the front end developer to sort of figure out as they're working?

Like others have said, using words like "ninja," "rockstar," "guru" is an immediate turnoff, although that's becoming less common. Using cutesy trendy references in an attempt to be cool, or overplaying the "cultural fit" aspect is also a little worrisome. Like, "okay, I understand that everyone is TOTALLY AWESOME and loves to drink beer and play foozeball, but what about the 401k matching?" If you want to hire a bunch of out-of-college brogrammers, that's fine, but I'm not going to respect the company, or want to work there.

Clear, concise, detailed description of what the job actually is and perhaps an example of what the day-to-day activities and responsibilities are.

Similarly, be detailed about the benefits -- they tell you a lot about a company. A job description that mentions family leave and 401k matching makes it seem like they actually care about employees. "Great benefits!" sounds like they're hiding something.

Essentially, the job posting should just seem written by someone knowledgeable about the field (no questionable language, no using trendy but kind of not-what-you-really-want words like "CSS3" instead of "CSS"), professional, detailed, and appealing. I mean, what would you want to see on a resume?

This article pretty clearly isn't intended to be a technical manual for the Enigma process, but rather explaining the basic idea and possible uses to a mainstream audience.

I've consulted to the IMF as a finance and economic consultant so I'll take that report as conjecture and not fact.

Surely you can't rebuff my reasoning here.

Governments control spending, and have a large part in what they earn (taxation, economic, monetary and fiscal policy).

If you spend more then you earn, and you spend too much, the debt repayment will overcome your ability to pay off your debt.

If you cut back and spend less than your means, and you use the net excess cash to pay off your debts (that can be paid down on a capital, and not interest only basis), then you can get back to a situation where you are out of debt and can spend more again.

I submit to you that Government spending works the same way.

What makes Government debt evil IMHO is that it is burden forced onto future generations to the advantage of the current one.

What do you mean, maybe? Schmidhuber is insane, in the best possible way. He's exactly the kind of person for whom academia exists: an incredibly competent, devoted scientist who won't stand for bullshit cooked up by marketing departments.
I think it's more of a case that Yelp paid them to find something and they don't want to turn around and say 'Hey thanks for the money, we didn't find anything' so they stitched this accusation up.
Perhaps my choice of using "irrelevant" wasn't the the best. I should have said "completely meaningless". Close meanings but the nuance is a bit different.

My proposition is that interest is only a small factor in eventual career path and that interest alone won't land you many jobs. You have to put effort into obtaining the necessary credentials (be it academic or otherwise). Did you put that effort in because of interest? Sure, I can't argue that interest would play a factor into motivation but interest alone is completely meaningless.

An even better example would be "astronaut". Everyone I know thinks its the damnest coolest job a human being could ever have! I'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in my office who wouldn't want to be an astronaut! But how many people become astronauts? Is it because it discriminates towards them or because its a lot of hard work and years of training that they haven't put the effort in to do? Or is it because interest alone is an irrelevant factor into eventual employment as an astronaut?
The point is that in a statically typed language, the specific approach advocated by the visitor pattern gets compiler assistance to ensure the visitors are complete (at least in the sense that there is a visit() method for each node type). This coupled with limited, difficult to use, or expensive runtime type information in many static languages made it attractive.

In a dynamically typed language where checking if an object is of a specific class, and where you can do if-then or switch(case/when) to discriminate the node types easily, the visitor pattern kind-of devolves into pretty much nothing, and hence the description doesn't "sound" right because it misses out on most of what makes the Visitor pattern worthwhile to discuss as a pattern in e.g. C++ or Java.

Instead of e.g. implementing an "accept" method for each node that calls "visit" on a visitor, and implementing a "Visitor" interface and inheriting from that, in Ruby you might instead just opt to use a case/when structure for the visitor, and wrap it in a single method or a lambda if you need to pass it around.

I see the sarcasm was completely lost on at least four geniuses.
Other than the government, nobody trying to do client certs actually runs the CA that issues them that I've seen. Instead, they trust some random set of commercial CAs, ignorant of the fact that openssl s_client -connect will dump out that list to any passer-by. I've even seen them trusting the "domain control validated only" certs, without any indication of "maybe this is a bad idea, because anyone who can buy a cert can auth to us because we don't even check."

So for every case I've seen, they'd have been ahead to issue credentials themselves and just skip client certs.
