AMD already has HBM chips out (Fury X and Fury) and already has a shipping chip with 32 GB of memory (S9170). If you are willing to work with OpenCL the double precision rating of AMD chips is very compelling (look at the W9100 that has been out for a while now has a peak rating of 2.62 TFLOPS double precision!). I am looking forward to HBM equipped firepro cards where the double precision support isnt gimped.
> It is not due to women leaving their career for family either, since many of this 56% decide to continue working, but in a non-technical role.

I'm not sure how you jumped from A to B there? Yes, this is an anecdote, but I know more than a handful of women who were in non-technical roles to begin with, started a family, and then entered a completely different industry when they went back to work. Most of them just didn't like what they were doing in their old job.

You quite possibly have a valid and correct point, I'm just having a hard time justifying it based on my own experiences.

> I actually think, if you read her tweets carefully, that she's very intentional in pushing the Overton window and making space for less-rude people to push their point. It's certainly possible she could accomplish her goals without rudeness, but she couldn't simply drop the rudeness the way Linus does.

That's an extremely interesting and helpful point, and makes me actually more sympathetic to her. Thanks for that.
Groundless discrimination based on race, gender, religion, age, and all kinds of other factors happens all the time, and it's a real bummer. The simple fact is that people take all kinds of shortcuts in making decisions, and very little of the workplace is an actual meritocracy.

When I first entered the workplace as a programmer, I was not taken as seriously as I might have been because I was so young. I got my first programming job at 16, and even when I started doing major consulting gigs across the country at 19, I looked really young for my age. One client remarked, upon meeting me, "You don't look old enough to operate a car, much less our computer." It was always a challenge for me to get people to evaluate my ideas based on their merit rather than their source, and to evaluate me based on my work product, rather than where they were at in their career when they were my age.

I have worked for myself for many years now, but if I sought employment elsewhere, I'd probably face some difficulties because I'm much older than the average developer, and people would assume that I'm stuck in old technologies as many professional developers my age are.

But the truth is that unfounded discrimination happens all the time in the workplace, for all kinds of reasons. Almost nowhere is a true meritocracy. At one place I worked, even when I was at the perfect average age for software developers, and white, and male, even then I was cut out of the circle of the key developers. It was because the developers, owner, and key management liked to stop working many days around 10:30am and start drinking heavily, maybe stopping back by the office briefly some time in the afternoon, then go back to drinking steadily the rest of the day until 6 or 7 pm. I didn't really do that with the same kind of endless enthusiasm that they did. I didn't fit in very well.

If you find a group of people that accept you the way you are, and evaluate you based on the work you do, you've found gold. If mere excellence is the currency of the realm, and all they want from you is to be the best you can be, then that's a glorious place to be. But finding such a place is very rare. It's hard to find that in a workplace, a church, a group of friends, or anywhere. And if you're struggling to find that, it's not entirely because of race, gender, age, or sexual orientation-- it's mostly because of people's basic nature.
I was thinking of privacy from the angle of mining data on companies to sell to investors. If you know a company is running well and everyone is really happy then that's probably a useful indicator for investors (eg to buy the firm, reduce wages to unhappy levels, sell on with an 'efficiency saving' before the shit hits the fans /cynicism).

I don't think that's the case, but I still commend them for doing a recall this quick.

Shooting the messenger seems to still be quite a strong reflex for corporations faced with bad news. The way to look at it should be that these guys did Fiat-Chrysler a service. After all, it's not only security researchers that have the ability to write code and that have prolonged access to a vehicle to test.

They seem to be mistaken about the time to write the code, after all, you can write the code and test it on a different vehicle than the one you intend to crash.

Law enforcement typically won't analyze the firmware of all the computers in a car after a single vehicle accident (and it would probably be quite possible to erase the evidence once the car has been given a command sufficient to kill the occupants).

Often that is acceptable advice, but in this case, their issue that:

> - Doesn't break in the next release.

is something that can't be worked around simply by creating your own theme. That seems to be caused by poor compatibility checking (or reckless disregard, as others are claiming), which could bite you even if you create your own theme.

Obviously, you could extend your suggestion to "fork gtk3", but that's likely a significant undertaking and not reasonable for everyone. I think it is reasonable to expect developers to maintain compatibility between minor version releases, assuming they're using semantic versioning, otherwise it's poor communication on the part of the developers.

I have no doubts in the entrepreneurial abilities from Japan but one questions if maybe, there's a limit to it seeing that so many past American acquisitions by Japanese buyers have been nothing short of horrible. Recall that Masayoshi bought Sprint and it's now less than half what he original paid for which was close to 30 billion as I remember. More recently the acquistion of Financial Times by Nikkei for over a billion dollars (during times of declining subscription and falling ad revenues, washington post was 5 bought for times less to Bezos). There are so many other poor acquisition strategies coming out of Japan, I can't help but question if there's some inherent flaw to Japanese thinking at least when it comes to market stategies. They almost certainly pay a huge premium for no good reason, and are unable to spruce it up, either due to incompatible culture or god knows what. California Golf, Docomo, Lehman Brothers in 2008 by Nomura Securities (which have wiped out it's own shares), there's quite a list of acquisitions that have proven to be disastrous for these Japanese firms.

This is a terrible decision. On such a short timescale, they'll only be able to fix the particular bug in their infotainment system. The real problem as everyone has pointed out is that the car control and infotainment should not share channels. There should be a physical gap between them and if really necessary a very tightly controlled message bridge.

The real fix will require much more intervention than just a firmware flash at the garage.

> And as several correspondents have reminded me already -- switching your sshd to keys only authentication will let you sleep better at night.

Even with fail2ban and limited retries, there's no excuse for using password-based authentication anymore. Use an SSH key, protect the key with a password, and turn off password login on all your servers.

Other than that, the main gist of this post is: on most platforms, the default settings for remote login already make brute-force login attempts annoying at best, and with fail2ban or something similar, it's a non-issue.

Smart Polygons: Shaping a More Intelligent Location
It seems like she's trying to gain credibility as someone who's been "exposed" to the travails of most women in tech, but then her solution isn't to fight the physical violence, intellectual marginalization, or boys-club dynamic in the c-suite - all of which she alludes to and confirms with her personal experiences - it's to just bury yourself in work to the point that non of that (your career, professional life, emotional health, your entire life) matters. What a fucked up apology for the even more fucked up status quo.
The language in the FCA press release (linked in another thread) is softer:

The recall aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action.

So through the process of extensive journalism, unauthorized remote manipulation got turned into hacking vehicles.

Oh my word. Not saying I agree with all of them 100%, but you have utterly misconstrued the arguments.

> Men are rapists and sexual offenders by default.

Nope, the argument is that there is a societal pattern that devalues the severity of rape through humour and other cultural tropes.

> Men are violent.

The patriarchal "masculinity" foisted upon men is one that is competitive and aggressive.

> If a man finds a woman physically attractive then he is objectifying her.

If you see a woman only existing as to please your sexual appetite, you are objecting.

> Men should not be paid according to the merits of their work and ability.

Women should be paid according to the merits of their work and ability, along with men.

> Men should not have any reproductive rights.

A woman's body is hers to do with as she should wish. Nobody should have operations forced upon them.

> Men should continue paying for a woman's lifestyle after a divorce.

Due to the fact that often a carer role is taken by a woman in a patriarchal society, this means that her earning potential and career is sacrificed.

> Men should recognize their "privilege" and be constantly reminded of it, even though being told you should be ashamed of your gender is at the very heart of sexism.

There are advantages that men get because of their sex/gender, and these should be recognised.

> Men should not be allowed into women's "safe spaces", implying they are dangerous and intimidating by default. Similarly, men should not be allowed to have their own "safe spaces", because that's sexist and exclusionary.

Due to many women having suffered terrible experiences at the hands of men, and the tendency for men to dominate discussions, there needs to be a place away from that where people can talk without fear and interruption.

> Men cannot have body issues resulting from over-exaggerated muscle-bound heroes in cartoons and movies (He-Man and the like) because they represent a "male power fantasy". But Barbie is responsible for decades of female self-image issues.

Not sure about that one, I think the argument drastically varies, but men are more often portrayed in a powerful, dominant role.

> If a female character chooses to dress provocatively, it is because a man chose to objectify her, not because a woman can take charge of their own sexuality.

Characters are often designed by men, for men.

> If a man is harassed online, it's unfortunate (sometimes). If a woman is harassed online, it's representative of a disturbing trend. Similarly, men cannot understand the plight of a woman's harassment, even if said man also receives daily death threats and has had a gun fired through their living room window.

Yes because receiving some flame or smack is the same as constant rape threats.

> Men should receive much harsher punishments than women for committing the same crimes.

This is bullshit, obviously.
Ah yes, bad luck. One of those things Heinlein was a master at dissecting.

Choices were made, and pipers will be paid. Signing on to a currency that a historically frugal nation can't individually control is perhaps not a wise choice when the others who influence the value of that currency have been historically, let's say, less frugal; spending on things that do not increase productivity but pushes the problem to the next generation; creating a bureaucratic structure that dissuades innovation because stability is considered more important, and so on.

Yet the "answers" from Krugman and his acolytes such as the author is to spend future influence (what does the author think devaluation is?) to make things look better in the shower, and poohpoohing those who recognize that devaluation is short term theater.

When these decisions don't work - we will call it bad luck.
> Seriously, you could apply this to any hobby if you want to use an endless list of externalities.

I don't think you could. Fuel is one of the most mispriced things in the world; airlines may not be paying pennies a gallon like certain countries wastefully subsidize fuel in their countries, but it's pretty blatant that fuel subsidies of every kind are enormous, and they've been particularly singled out by economists like the IMF as wasteful.

> It's not like the plane would be sitting on the Tarmac if he didn't board it. It's flying anyway.

On the margin of plane flights, there would be fewer plane flights if he didn't have this 'hobby', and much more directly, every flight he boards wastes a lot more fuel simply carrying his weight.
I'm also interested to see a mid-size scale SPA project that has excellent unit-testing and integration-testing.

I've read a lot about how JS can make programmer productive, I've also read a lot how code can be succinct and all that jazz because of JS, but I have _never seen_ a well-architected, well-documented, well-automated-tested non-todomvc SPA codebase.

This isn't a sarcasm or criticism but a serious and legitimate "ASK" because I'm working on a large-scale SPA project that's hard to write automation test other than Selenium.

I'm looking for something that can taught me:

1. Unit-testing (with some level of mocking)

2. Integration-testing (testing various components without hitting the UI but all the way up to the sending request, kind of like driving the front-end code without the UI).

3. Best practices/patterns for architecting large-scale SPA (hint: generic EventBus tend to be abused).
I worry that "we do care about security" is increasingly insufficient. It's one thing to care about security, another to think that you take it seriously, and another to actually take it seriously.

Depending on the application, the amount of resources you should be expending on security is often times multiple times what a naive person would expect. Security is tricky and subtle, and most people don't realize how wrong they are when it comes to doing things securely.
Realizing that the benefits outweigh the costs (health and financial). In my case, the benefits would be avoiding the annoyances of glasses/contacts (cleaning them, reshaping the frames when they get bent, moisture, buying new ones) but given that the surgery might not result perfect vision or even cause new problems (halos, night vision, having to redo the surgery after ~10 years) it's not worth it. Plus, I'm less vain and more frugal now.
Thankfully my use of PAM is for 2FA with SSH when I don't have my key. So they wouldn't have been successful in pulling off a bruteforce anyway. But it's annoying that their attempts weren't being limited as it can waste resources...

Indeed. I can't wait until that is implemented across the board. It still leaves the privacy issues.
IMO the blame lies at least partly on American hyper-competitive mentality, where you have people on both sides willing to go to war over slavery, or "wage cultural war on homophobes" today. My link was intended to show that not all countries are like that.

I just can't agree with Rayiner that we should escalate more because the current conflict is all-important. Game theory tells us that if everyone thinks that way, society loses. And game theory offers a way out: you need a shared culture that enables de-escalation without losing face. Conflicts would still get resolved, but without wasting tons of resources on both sides. Many countries have that.

That's interesting, actually. I think that many radfems have actually got the wrong end of the stick too, as I've seen many an article (not by Dworkin) saying that PIV sex is always rape. But they are seen as kind of wingnuts in the broader feminist community.

No she does realize that and goes over it in the article. She's trying to ask you to respect her opinion regardless. Which obviously went over the heads of many here. Even though all she is essentially saying is "listen to me", you refuse to listen and try to invalidate her opinion. Because "her advice doesn't translate well to others". The only advice she gave was to acknowledge her experiences and perhaps digest them.

I agree it applies both ways. My point was male-centric to align with the argument being made in the article. Probing the local social order applies to both genders and how they go about it can be slightly different but no less vicious.

> all the JIT in the world aint gonna help you if you're cache missing every damn fetch(hello Java).

Acton (sort of) has a talk about that too. Except he speaks about traditional, ahead-of-time compilers. Tldr is that because of how the vast majority of programmers arrange their data, CPUs spends the vast majority of their time stalling on memory. Therefore improvements in optimizing compilers can only marginally help the marginally small section of running time spent actually exercising the ALUs. The solution is to devote more effort to changing our habits regarding data layouts.
No, the behavior needs to be identical in all failure cases or attackers can use the different feedback to learn valid usernames, etc
