:) No worries. I personally don't like the term because I'm a man who is quite capable of explaining things well. Most of the things I see labelled as mansplaining I think are poor explanations that lack nuance, introspection, and social / emotional awareness, and as you pointed out they are usually condescending. But how does it relate to my own manhood when something someone else writes is labelled as mansplaining, since I've also been attacked due to my membership in the class? Am I not a real man because I'm not lacking in these things? No, of course not. Would I be offended if some angry person labelled my own writing as mansplaining? Not really, they'd have to attack me on the specifics, in which case I'd listen, etc. I would however use it as a filter indicating I should be wary of their future arguments though, just as I use other slurs as a filter.

In general I think it's pointlessly divisive to invent slurs for the other side in the push for egality. That said, men probably have 10x the number of slurs for women (at least if our names for genitals is an indication), so it does make for an uncomfortable object lesson.

Do girls look at Christina Li and see someone who looks weird (admission: I'm old so I have no idea if her personal style choice is fashionable), and does that turn girls off from STEM?

Doctors and Lawyers look more professional, and perhaps that appeals more broadly to the women who would otherwise be qualified to go into tech?
Why is this a surprise? Facebook was founded on theft -- starting from when Zuckerberg stole the business from the Winklevoss twins.
If someone "just" bought something in your shop (as mentioned in the article) you shouldn't bother them. If you're running a business like this, managing expectations is a large part of your job.

When discussions with customers occur frequently maybe it's time to review how your business is communicating with customers. What can be done to prevent misunderstandings regarding using laptops/hogging tables? etc.

There was a coffee shop I used to frequent that used a captive portal for wifi, and the only way to get past it was to enter a 90 minute passcode from the bottom of your purchase receipt.

So if I came in there at night after work I considered it basically paying for internet, and getting a free coffee or pastry alongside it. Seemed perfectly fair.

I also find it amusing that Starbucks gives you free refills on brewed/ice coffee, provided you go enough to get their "gold" status (usually, 30 store visits a year).

They don't care if you camp there and keep getting free refills on coffee. They just care that you do it often.
I wish Google would start fighting dirty.

Yep. I wonder if it's a lack of co-working spaces or pricing to "what the market will bear".

I need a cross between a hackerspace and a co-working space.
Ask HN: How do you monitor API fraffic/performance?
Hey HN,

At our startup we've just released a new version of our API (REST, web-based), and folks are finally signing up to use it. Unfortunately, we've neglected to set up any kind of traffic or performance monitoring of our API specifically. Here are some of the problems I'd like to solve:

* An new API client emails me, saying that a particular API call isn't working. I'd like to be able to go into this magical traffic logger and see precisely what calls this client has made, to what endpoints, at what times, and what we responded with.
* We release a new endpoint. We've tested the endpoint and feel confident in it, but still, we'd like to ensure that it's working the way we thought it was going to work in production. We should be able to go into this traffic logger, filter by the endpoint that we want, and look through the logs manually, and ensure that everything looks reasonable.
* I'd like to be able to track the performance of endpoints over time. I'd like to see statistics about error rates and response times, broken down by endpoint.

Here are the services that I've considered:

- 3scale/Mashery: Though it seems to satisfy my requirements, these services offer a whole suite of things that we don't need and wouldn't want to pay for, like monetization and authentication. Also, I'm slightly sketched out by the API proxy part of Mashery -- I don't want our API to be dependent on Mashery being online.
- Loggly/Splunk: Maybe this is the time to jump to a big boy logging solution? Right now all our logs just live on our app servers. Perhaps I could just log some information about requests, and set up fancy filters and such inside the app itself.
- New Relic: I believe that New Relic can satisfy these requirements if configured properly. One downside is it seems to be crazy expensive.

Anyways, I'd love some feedback. Have any of you tackled this particular solution, and what have you done to solve it?
If that is the typical dialog between the owner and the customer, than I have to assume that the owner is an idiot, as are patrons of his establishment.
Norse is generally considered a joke by all the professionals I know in the infosec and threat intelligence industries, and not just for their silly map. Even moreso after their recent Iran report, done in conjunction with the political thinktank American Enterprise Institute. No bias there at all.
What to Expect from Firefox in the Future
> Every feature in the browser should be polished, functional, and a joy to use. Where we can’t get it to that state, we shouldn’t do it at all. In some cases that will mean spending time to make it great. In other cases that will mean removing code that we don’t see ourselves improving any time soon. In other cases it will mean finding third party services or addons that can do the job better than we can.

Pay close attention to this. This change in philosophy around features and incorporating third party services is going to create a Firefox that's radically different from releases in the past. For better or worse we've already started seeing these changes with the recent Pocket integration.

> We’re not like most organizations, so we have to partner differently. We worked with Pocket to amend their Privacy Policy to be more in line with our principles. We made sure the code that shipped with Firefox was licensed appropriately.

Amending Pocket's Privacy Policy is something I was not aware of, and I think puts things in perspective. I have a little more faith in the Pocket decision now. It shows that the move was well thought out and Mozilla wasn't a Read It Later, Inc (Pocket's developer) pushover. Regarding the topic, Dave recognizes the community criticism later in the email.

> But folks raised objections, and we need to address that. Some of the objections were about policy and strategy, and I’m not going to address those in this thread. But we did hear specific complaints about how the code was integrated. Folks said that Pocket should have been a bundled add-on that could have been more easily removed entirely from the browser. We tend to agree with that, and fixing that for Pocket and any future partner integrations is one concrete piece of engineering work we need to get done. Pocket was also given first billing on the main screen, and that may not be a scalable solution. We’re going to need to figure out how to best surface these things in our UI.

I admire this a lot. I just hope that future partnerships are announced well in advanced and the community has time to comment on implementation. I think integrating third party services will be an improvement, but only if executed well. Open-minded ideas like this certainly would have avoided problems like Microsoft's negligence of IE during the previous decade.
I have, I found their Sydney instances to lag for seconds at a time, completely randomly, while SSH'd in (I also live in Sydney, so it's not distance). I now have an instance with Digital Ocean in Singapore and I much prefer it.
> I refuse to see the term as a neutral-term applied equally to both genders for three reasons. One being the term itself is gender-loaded (includes "man" in it) [...]

I agree here. In my mind there is no question that the 'mansplainer' is a man and the 'mansplainee' is almost certainly a woman.

I read the first bit of the Wikipedia article, seems like one of those cases where Wikipedia is going out of its way to be 'neutral' on a one sided subject.

It is clearly a gendered term, not universal.
Websites are a great example since the bloat is clearly visible on the developer's end. I decided to try using Foundation last week. The last time I worked on a website I just generated some static HTML markup and filled it in with my own hand-built CSS. Nobody would give an award for that design, but it was functional enough.

The Foundation install instructions first ask for three dependencies: Ruby, node.js, and git. Subsequently, through gem and npm, dozens of other dependencies were installed. The framework pushes multiple .js dependencies onto the served pages, and heavily encourages using either Compass or libsass to generate the final CSS, making it weigh considerably more. It even had tooling to automatically rebuild as a background process.

All of this, and I basically just modified the example templates slightly to help me build a layout. In theory all sorts of other things could be done with that framework, but the nature of the software stack we have, at least in this domain, favors including the kitchen sink when you need a cup of water.
There's definitely selective responses in single unit recordings, even upstream of sensory neurons in "higher" areas; look for articles on the "Jennifer Aniston cell" and on so-called mirror neurons. The question is, how come you can fool a DNN into classifying noise as something with high probability (as they explain in the article), but you can't fool the brain?

The Future of Graphics Programming: The Vulkan API
Well come on, I'm not even being sarcastic or anything, my cynicism about art in general and my own in particular is very real and kind of a problem. But I get what you mean, sorry for having a bit of fun at your expense.
This is becoming a real issue for me. I've basically stopped goings to cafes and bars because the owners seem annoyed by me camping around and I can only drink so many cups of coffee a day. I would gladly pay an hourly rent if they'd be happy with that but it seems once they've decided that I'm not welcome there nothing can change their mind.
I always wince when I see statements like these. The implication that artists should be unpaid is completely absurd.

How about, YOU, quick name a television/book/movie you enjoyed , where every artist went unpaid. There is a reason Netflix PAID people to create content. There is a reason that today YouTube still pays people to make content for YouTube. Quality content comes from smart people who if not paid to make media, will gladly take their talent somewhere else. In your "solution" the outcome isn't that Destin makes content for free, its that he continues his dayjob as a missile engineer and the world misses out on great content like Smarter Everyday. We get great content when artists don't have to starve to produce it. How about you work entirely for free in your day job (Hey the kernel your program for was built for free, why should you get paid before Linus?), and see how long you last.

We are already seeing the print industry go this way - with cheap, easily churnable content listicles and articles that may-or-may-not be written by PR firms at corporations. I don't know about you, but I vastly prefer the content on HBO than to cheap formulaic YouTube shorts and corporate pr films.

We should be thinking about how we funnel the billions of dollars of the media industry to the best content creators and out of the hands of RIAA execs, not wiping it all away because "lol artists who needs to pay them?"
This notion of "strangling" old code is new to me, but I think it is similar to a benefit I have seen with using Flux to manage SPA state:

You can always add more stores.

Since every store receives every dispatch, playing with a new way of managing state need not ever modify existing code; just create a new store and intercept the same actions with a different outcome.

On several occasions, I have even duplicated a store to try changing one or two things, leaving the original intact. This made me feel dirty at first, but it is actually a great way to try out new ideas without introducing any breaking changes, intentional or otherwise.
Truly- When asked why he did not patent the polio vaccine, Jonas Salk responded by asking if you could patent the sun- it seems as though if the sun were discovered today, we'd have a legal battle over all of the attempts to do so.
What does the content creator gain from the user seeing a black box? That's way worse than them seeing the content and the creator getting money for it, from both the user and the creator's perspective.
That's a good point. There's a coffee shop in my area where you can buy a $30/mo contract to a faster internet line, clearly catering to the remote working crowd. They also mark certain areas of the store as "no laptop areas" during certain times of the day. The clientele seems totally fine with this arrangement.
I'm curious to see what these charts will look like when watchOS 2 is released, or if it'll even make a difference.

P.S. Good to see you here John.
Basing an impression of a region/culture on a movie is just as irrational as basing that impression on a single hackathon.

It makes sense that many of the engineers and companies in SV will be highly accessible to a talented engineer. Engineers like people like themselves, and companies are still looking for top-tier talent.

The question is whether you'll ever be one of the people who makes enough money to make a career in SV worthwhile. Yes, you read a lot about the engineers who succeed there. But that's giving you selection bias.

There are a lot of engineers who fight against the cost of living and grueling work hours, burn out, and leave without making as much as they would have in a different city.

Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum (burnout to Zuckerberg), chances are nearly that you'll be anywhere close to the Zuckerberg end of the spectrum. Starting your own company is a great way to lose a lot of money (yours and others'), and it's delusional to think of them otherwise. It's delusional to gamble on your own talent when talent and meritocracy aren't what make successful startups, and it's delusional to invest vital amounts of time and money in something with a 0.5% chance of success.

That said, if you have a financial safety net, can survive the repeated failures, and don't feel like you can do anything else, starting a company might still be for you.
Sorry, I'm having a hard time figuring out what your question is getting at.

Are you saying that the stereotypical programming lifestyle is equally appealing to men and women? Just looking at video games, I don't think that's the case. For instance, I recently started playing Dragon Age Origins, and playing as a female Gray Warden, I kept getting repeated comments from NPCs saying "Really? A female Gray Warden. Wouldn't expect that", and so forth. Why would a woman choose to make a video game that is continuously surprised that she exists? I really enjoyed the game, but it's honestly the stuff like that that tells you in subtle ways that you're not welcome.
It is, apparently.
It's finally nice to hear about Web Components again. I remember when they started Polymer you heard how Web Components were the future, and then they just dropped off the radar.

Good to know that all the major vendors are continuing to develop them though.

The coffee-shop version of anti-homeless spikes?
I'm really surprised to see Apple's name on this list. Their behavior over the last few years has led me to conclude that they are no longer interested in seeing the Web flourish now that they have market power. Glad to see progress (even if it's obscenely slow).
In many cases it's not. In fact I've recently worked on several projects where the frontend is stupidly heavy for zero reason. Just sloppy or over engineered code.

I know the full extent of the capabilities - one is just a corporate website with no interactivity. It's just dumb. The previous version was just simple static HTML; but as part of the "responsive design overhaul" it turned into this behemoth that makes several dozen requests to open the homepage. Nuts.
One of the cafes in the area put packing tape over all the outlets. When they did this I worked out that the coffee I drank cost over 200 times the electricity they saved-as you say they must be trying to displace people, not save money- but my MBP lasts nearly 6 hours[1] so I'm not so easily put off if the place is good :)

[1] I use Turbo Boost Switcher to stop the cpu running hot and gfxCardStatus to stick to integrated graphics. This seems to give me nearly 2h extra. I don't need speed for compiles or anything like that.
Maybe Montreal just doesn't pay for 3d graphics programmers. Triple what you just quoted and that's what an average gameplay programmer makes in the bay area. 3d graphics programmers make more because an average gameplay programmer can't do what a 3d graphics programmer does. Then again, there aren't as many jobs for 3d graphics programmers. You'd pretty much have to work for one of the big graphics engine makers (Valve, Unity3D, Unreal, ID) or a company big enough to make their own (Ubisoft, EA, Disney).

In Montreal, that's pretty much just Ubisoft, isn't it?

Anyway, the original suggestion was 3d graphics, not necessarily for games. Lots of other fields use 3d graphics as well. I don't know how well they pay, though.
I've definitely guilty of doing this. Usually I get so engrossed in my work I lose track of time. I have no problem with proprietors asking me to make another purchase or leave.
Linode has always been very strict about keeping their IP ranges clean.

The fact that Linode's lowest tier has been $20/mo until recently ($10/mom nowadays) also helps. That makes Linode unnecessarily expensive for people who just want to burn IPs, since they can easily get an IP for $5/mo with DO or even less with low-end VPS providers.
The remaining malls in the U.S. are living on borrowed time.

In general, there's no/fewer public drinking fountains, fewer public restrooms, shrinking number of places that doesn't involve soup-Nazi consumerism and ever less spaces for homeless and the elderly to not be bothered. It's a not-so-subtle form of hate directed at anyone unable or unwilling to be extorted on a regular basis. Folks are going to get their power and heat/air-conditioning somehow, but there's big trouble in store for any shop owner that retaliates against customers... because they will inevitably find ways to ruin the business. Starbucks is immensely profitable and doesn't have to resort to passive-aggressive hate and discrimination games.
Don't start on node. A dozen thousand files of dependencies because every function needs its own module containing at least 6 files. And using RequireJS, well it takes 30s+ to build this site even though it's not doing anything earth shattering. And that's before running uglify or any such minimizer. I don't get it.

Sandboxie Crack 4.18 Serial Key, Keygen Full Free Download
I wouldn't be surprised if a significant number of people here do this. I do this as well. Most of the time, I'm not asked to leave, but other times, if I feel guilty, I buy something else, like another coffee or a sweet. I suppose I'd willing to "rent" space if it were available.

A funny relevant anecdote. Yesterday, I was at home trying to work, and I could not focus, so I walked to a nearby coffeeshop. Apparently, a group was filming something in half of the shop, so another section with most of the seats was closed off, as well as outside seating in front of it. Naturally, the remaining seats were full.

So, I randomly asked a person if I could share a seat with her. I didn't make small talk, I just sat and read. After twenty minutes or so, she got up to leave. After a while of reading, I saw a number of people come in and be told they might have to take to-go since the place was full. I was more than willing to share a seat at my table, and a number of other tables had open seats, but no one approached me, or anyone else for that matter...

So, I got up, and purchased a slice of cake to-go. A gentleman who was waiting for a chair thanked me and took my place.

Now, on the way home, there is a chocolate shop which has a couple of seats as well. I decided to peer inside, and guess who I see in the window? The lady who's table I took, apparently. :/

I guess I can't fault other people for not being as comfortable about sharing "personal space" as I am, but especially in that sort of situation, it hurts more than it helps.
