> We're showing you actual numbers that colleges/universities are 60-80% female, and your response is that male victimhood is some conspiracy.

You’re literally making those numbers up, they are not referenced in the linked article and you provide no proof. You may want to take a step back and ask yourself if it is you who is brainwashed.


> Overall, about 16% of all young women who are working full time, year-round live in the 22 metros where women are at or above wage parity with men.

Thats only sixteen percent of women. Or put another way, 84% of men still make more than women.

> Younger women in urban/metro areas are doing significantly better than their male peers economically (higher employment rates and income). This gap is increasing.

In 22 metro areas.

You’re framing your argument in a way that seems especially combative and antagonistic towards women gaining a level playing field. It’s not a zero sum game, but men will absolutely lose privilege as women even the playing field. There will be cases where women make more, and that’s life. And if women as a whole for a while make more than men, big deal, it’ll eventually even out.


The decrease of buying power, post Covid, makes this pretty much moot at best. It’s sort of depressing to think that even if I had children, or magically qualified to attend a prestigious school like MIT, I’d still be surely priced out. Just like I am buying a house. Making $200k a year ensures I’ll never own a home unless I want to move to an area I don’t feel safe in. I imagine having children make that trade off better, but not without substantial intrinsic costs to one’s self and one’s children. If someone makes $199k at this point, they’re likely unable to afford a home in any major metropolitan area. While being able to have your gifted children receive a free education is great, I imagine many folks will push ever so slightly past that, assuming two years working parents, by the time their children would be of age to go to school.

It’s just depressing. Sorry, I’ll go back into my hole.


What urban hellhole do you live in where you can't buy a home in a safe neighborhood while earning $200K?!

You need to look outside your immediate area. Or at another state. Most of the USA is nothing like that.


Nope, at least not by default or like one would expect from pure Erlang (when it comes to preempting). Been a while since I dug into this admittedly but I write Elixir daily for work (and have for about ten years now). They don’t do the record keeping necessary for the BEAM to interrupt. You need to make sure the “dirty scheduler” is enabled or you can end up blocking other processes on the same scheduler.

Here’s a link I found talking about using the dirty scheduler with Rust(ler): https://bgmarx.com/2018/08/15/using-dirty-schedulers-with-ru...


I think it’s more on NVidia, Qualcomm, or AMD to engineer their own ARM based chips which can outcompete x86 variants. Both NVidia and AMD are rumored to be working on general purpose ARM based CPUs. Right now NVidia is likely the one to do it thanks to their absolutely obscene margins giving them more than enough money for R&D.

I personally don’t think there is a lot of incentive for ARM to make the fastest possible cores. They’d be undermining those who are currently paying the most to license their IP. ARM’s real incentive is power efficiency and then letting the licensees use and abuse that for performance gains.


I used to think charting was bullshit for day and swing trading. Because on paper it sure seems to be, but in reality so many other players are also charting that it becomes useful and somewhat predictive. Largely because you’re all using the same signals. Sure it’s impossible difficult to time things perfectly, but perfect is the enemy of profit. You don’t need to catch the absolute bottom and you don’t need to catch the absolute top.

Specific to Black-Sholes the best option plays, when going long, are the ones which have incorrect assumptions about the volatility of the underlying. You can have far outta the money options, absolutely print, with a sufficient spike in the underlying. Even if the strike price will never be met (though you’ll also give that back if you ride them to expiration or let things settle down).


Uhh… doesn’t the link go to GitHub? I’m a little confused by this comment. I mean the project is neat and cool. But I imagine most folks go to GitHub and don’t go to the link showing the webpage. Am I missing something?


Link to the actual site is at the top of the GitHub page.


If they’re using images you’re hosting you could always put in a rewrite rule to replace the images with goatse. I used to do this back in the day. It’s not going to solve the problem of cloning but it’ll give you so catharsis and get ‘em to stop it.


Replace images with ads to your own site.


Can we have another black bar at the top of hackernews? Feel free to delete this comment, dang, et. al. She’s just obviously had an outsized effect on us all whether we realize it or not.


You have to email to request.


I love all of these ironic black bar request posts.


Here are some insights I've learned over my career:

1. Your first hire will be your most difficult. Most engineers know other engineers, and will bring them over if the work (and pay) is good.

2. You get what you pay for. Hiring very senior staff will pay for itself, even if you could get four or five junior devs for the price of one senior. Very rarely, if ever, will "more developers" mean more productivity.

3. Pick a portion of your system you need to improve and start there. Make sure your engineering team is empowered to make decisions, and that there is a "champion" with the authority to make decisions across departments. A lot of orgs can die waiting for non-engineering portions of the company to make decisions. Even worse is when they wax and wane on those decisions.

4. Following point three, if your organization is disorganized, or unable to move quickly so will your engineering team.

5. Hire remote workers. There are a LOT of folks who will never set foot in an office again. It gives you access to an immense talent pool you may not have otherwise.

6. Be flexible. Most engineers I've know have a schedule, but that schedule isn't generally a strict 9-5.

7. Whatever language and platforms you decide to build with-- make sure you can hire for them. Some are great, but difficult to find experienced engineers. I say this as an Elixir developer.

Finally, Logistics sounds pretty fun and for the right folks it will be. Don't undersell the problem space or think of it as boring. The engineering work may be the opposite of boring, or your organization may just be a good place to work.

Good luck, mate!
