Which is why, when a project presented itself that had this need, we ended up using Apache UserGrid.

it's newsworthy when men make more than women, or when whites make more than non-whites; however, it's only a passing statement (in the vein of a full diclosure type byline) in which the opposite is true.

This article also fails to mention if the study controlled for types of law practiced by these people -- something that still persists in our "pay gap myth." A lot of the PoC and women that I know in law started out doing basically volunteer work, contract review, innocence project, public defender and environmental defense work, etc. While a lot of the white men went into patent law, divorce law, corporate law, etc. Basically higher-paying professions.

to be pedantically fair, most people who use the CAP theorem to describe a system aren't following the academic usages of C, A, and P, and thus are probably describing the system incorrectly. Look at this discussion on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4156359

While all of us call BS on the tech team saying it "can't" be done [1], I'm all for this. If you're saying mean/hateful stuff online, you deserve to have your real name attached to it. It's amazing how much more polite people are when they don't have a wall of anonymity protecting them.

[1]: My bet's on people who can barely use a computer stood up a wordpress or joomla site, and only really understands how to edit configs, not actually change the programming.

but with medical tourism becoming more reliable and trusted, as well as companies hq'd in countries unencumbered by our insistence on patents for biology, it's likely this is where another country takes the "top" spot from the US. China, Brazil, and India all seems like good potentials.

This is why any economic recovery plans that don't focus on growing the income of middle- and lower-class americans is doomed to fail. The rich can already buy anything they want, and they're saving like crazy. Until we unleash more demand from the lower- and middle-class, all efforts are futile.

It's also why we should be focusing on, and supporting, raises in the minimum wage, reductions in work weeks (more demand for leisure goods and services), and decreased tax burden on the middle class.

This necessarily implies a (potentially dramatic) increase in taxes on the wealthy. They can afford it. If someone claims they'll cut and run to a tax haven country -- let them. We'll do better without them around.

so don't fucking use it. if it's literally not valuable enough to justify 100/yr, just let it go and use eclipse or notepad or something.

Yeah, if you didn't see this coming, you haven't been keeping up. Their yearly upgrades? It's no coincidence that intellij 14 came out in 2014, 13 in 2013...

If you have kept up versions as I have, it's practically no different. If this means we get features sooner rather than waiting for a whole major version upgrade, I'm happy.

Yes, Adobe had a big clusterfuck when they did it, but you know who hasn't had as big of one? Microsoft Office. I subscribe to their office 365. 10 bucks a month for 5 computers, the whole office suite. I'll happily pay that.

And besides, there's always the community edition if for some reason your 120k/yr job doesn't let you afford 100 bucks per year...

People just have a meltdown anytime anything changes... chill the fuck out for a few minutes and let's see what happens.

you must live in the bay area...

I bet we would be surprised that women are more vicious towards other women in this regard -- a bit of the "I did it (or didn't do it), and I'm fine -- what's your excuse?" kind of thinking.

Stop working 15 hour days. That's just stupid and grossly counter-productive. Work your 8 hours, then go home and don't think about it.

Your brain needs time to absorb, process, and synthesize. It can't do that if you're trying to force-feed it new information faster than it can handle.

Take some time to write a couple tests against the code, to make some small refactorings, etc. If you still feel overwhelmed or underwater, talk with your manager and just tell them the code is a pile of crap (if it really is). They don't want to hear it, but they might cut you some slack.

Seriously? We're promoting climate change denial here? Welcome to new reddit, same as the old reddit.

Who the hell is going to buy sourceforge at this point? It's not even worth the intellectual property behind the scenes. Maybe someone like cnet who wants another distribution channel for not-quite-malware.

Yeah, and my college had (back in 2000) a womens-only robotics group. Where's your outrage over the men?

This is a dumb example.

If you read around on this, you'll read that men in these fields are treated like absolute garbage. Especially nursing.

The old rule is still in effect: Nobody hates women more than other women.

Her and I could be friends.

It's not that we have trouble with it-- it really is pretty simple. It's that there can be a bunch of rules around it that make it not simple.

For example, how do you evalute postfix addition? If you have v1.0.0-alpha3 and v1.0.0-alpha10, are all semver implementations supposed to do an alphabetical check until it sees a string? Or should you zero-pad anything with text postfixes? And how do you deal with labeling branches or architectures?

Internally, we no longer use semver, we use the build number as the version, and the commit hash as the input to the deploy systems.

To be fair, most of them are probably vehemently republican (of the "dont give ghetto welfare queens my gubmint money" type), so environmental protections are down in that "god damn commie talk" list for them. Until it affects them, personally.

Yeah, those women knew what they were getting into. Not to be callous, but you don't marry someone who would kill you for cheating without knowing somewhere in your heart that's a possibility.

Assholes attacking other assholes online? Meh, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Some of them will get what they deserve (personal opinion, of course), on both sides.

There's a difference between a double standard and no standard whatsoever.

I've done quite a lot of work in Neo4j, and have been quite impressed with it. With my last project (which was in the 1.9.x days), we had about 2b nodes and 4b edges, with lots of properties. It was basically being used as a social graph cache (for friend-of-friend style queries).

It was remarkably simple to set up, a bit harder to tune, but we ended up getting something like 5000 req/sec at <= 10ms per query sustained for several hours.

I'd highly recommend learning neo4j, if for nothing but the paradigm shift it forces you to learn.

Exactly. They seem to forget that she's part of a ponzi scheme, slept with married men to get ahead, etc.

Even if it was a bunch of racist/misogynist people, you have to consider that despite the messenger, the message might be valid. That's what being open-minded means.

The AMA-specific portions were not (originally) the primary complaints. The mods reframed the discussion into "AMA liaison and mod tools" but it was about so much more than that. The admins would make certain users mods of subreddits, who then un-modded everybody else and basically took it over. The rampant censorship of non-mainstream opinions (even if you vehemently disagree with them), articles about Pao's shady business dealings being deleted, articles about the Ponzi scheme Pao's husband is involved in being deleted, articles about Pao's sleeping with married men (while married herself) to get ahead in her career, her trivial and frivolous "gender discrimination" lawsuit, the massive use of shadowbanning in the last couple years that is inconsistently applied, and the list can go on forever.

Basically reddit was a cesspool of villainy for a while, and now she's turning it into a cesspool of SJW/"Mod-approved language". I'll take the former any day of the week. When you're afraid to speak your mind because you might get shadowbanned or a mod of a subreddit you never visit might be offended at your comment and complain to the admins, it's just a way to stifle speech.

It's basically GamerGate expanding into social media.

Damn... I predict that even with how awful we expect it to be, we'll still be shocked by what is in there.

that's not a bad thing. reduces costs, reduces HR overhead, etc.

Yes, we understand the libertarian argument. We've had it shoved down our throats for years now.

Meh, I like Java. Like, I actually enjoy programming in it. Some key reasons:

1. IDEs are not a crutch. They're a useful tool. Anyone who talks about expressiveness or efficiency in Ruby but discounts IDE help is a hypocrite. You learn the tools you have. Refactoring large methods, extracting interfaces, mass renaming with guaranteed safety -- those things actually matter when you learn to use them.

2. Ant is dead. Hibernate is dying. Spring XML config is largely dead. Much like the perf argument, most of the bad impressions people have of it are based on years-old issues.

3. Tools like Spring Boot and Dropwizard have made it so a Java REST service is smaller than a RoR one.

4. Gem upgrades can be backwards incompatible, so once your app is of a certain size, your framework support becomes very rigid and brittle.

5. Twitter left Ruby because of perf issues. drops mic

6. Active Record ~= Hibernate. Hibernate can be configured with annotations, so leave the XML out of this. You still have n+1 and over-selection of fields by default.

7. Global interpreter lock. 'Nuff said.

8. The actual argument used by DHH wrt performance was, 'Ruby is fast enough' -- if the Java community tried that, it would be an endless mocking parade.

I could go on, but won't. I don't care if others leave Java, just means more work for me. Hell, replacing shitty rails apps and replacing them with reasonable java apps is a good consulting business :)

At some point, you just need to stop caring about those people. I know some of you can't professionally, but personally, there's no need to even pretend to support IE <= 11. If they want to run an old os and old browser, they don't get to use my service. No sweat off my balls.

That old man breaks his back requiring bed rest for 12 months and multiple dangerous and painful surgeries ... versus a guy who has a couple mil in the bank.

It's a good parable, but doesn't stand up to too much scrutiny.
