Bingo! Coming from C# and C++, I had exactly the same realization using Python (before I switched back). I always ask Python programmers "but are you just keeping track of the type…

Was I the only disappointed that the game play description didn't include having to use an "Ok to go!!!" audio command to start each mission?

I think they made the right decision. I've seen way too many open source projects run by academics die a sudden death when the two or three professors that were maintaining them de…

I'm curious what HN readers think the yearly UBI would be (in US dollars) if it were actually implemented?

Good night gents.

No. I simply refuse to adopt his/your standard of proof. If that makes you think you've won the argument then so be it.

I'm not concerned about how often it happens. I'm concerned about the potential for it to happen. The Richard's example shows that potential. Your insistence on more examples as so…

What are some others? Why is the one example not enough to prove my point? I could name a hundred and you still wouldn't be happy. Why bother.

Thank you for taking the time to address my concern. I'm glad we both think it's an important issue in spite of what some other commenters have said.

I'm doing nothing of the sort. The code of conduct was clearly cited as one of the steps taken. I have issue with that step. And I have as much right to comment here as you do. You…

Can you cite any examples of people who have been silenced or shamed by a conference harrassment code? You mean besides the Adria Richard's example? At a professional conference, i…

Ah in gallops tptacek on his trusty steed. Dead horse indeed. As usual, any submission concerning improving the ratio of women to men in our industry immediately becomes a coatrack…

Harassment includes verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and >expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appe…

Fine. You could have made that point without bringing his race, class or gender into your argument.

So if Evan Speigels had been female, black and poor (i.e. not privileged) he would have taken the money and that would have been the right thing to do? Why because people without p…

This is the typical response (and there is evidence to back it up) but then are these people really deserving of long term unemployment benefits? If you've been unemployed for five…

Ok but if your problem is that no one will look at your resume because you haven't worked in five years surely one of these jobs will solve that at the very least.

It would be interesting to see what the socioeconomic/educational attainment breakdown of the long-term unemployed looks like (Link anyone?). I think the assumption is that most of…

I wonder if it's because ResearchGate is not based in the U.S.?

I'd love to see their business plan. Academics on the whole are not a good demo for advertising and don't want to pay for anything related to their jobs/research unless they have a…

So? If his argument for why this is good is that it's "killer" and from "legendary engineers" then he deserves it.

>You are a threat, remember? You are Schrödinger’s Rapist. Aaannd scene...

Depends on the record you're looking at. If you look at the temperature records from ice cores you can see that the entire 21st century has so far been within the historical range …

It's funny whenever I hear someone say "We only hire people who went to X" I always just assume that person is insecure about their own abilities. Hiring based on credentials doesn…
