Wow. This is all kinds of wrong. * Java is far faster than Go. Nobody is working on high-performance low-latency systems in Go while Java is quickly becoming de-rigueur in this spa…

You simply stop talking to them. In the real world when people begin spouting nonsense they are ejected from the community almost immediately. At elite institutions claims to not "…

For somebody who claims to live science you really don't seem to understand how our why it works. Replication is not at all important to science. It never had been and never will b…

The goal of such "controversial discussions" is always to silence the minorities. The goal is not discussion or debate but normalization of extreme views. The mechanism here is ver…

HN is a very carefully controlled bubble. It's almost completely dominated by a crypto-libertarian groupthink. The article [1] is interesting though. What we're witnessing is the c…

I think XML is better than protobufs when it comes to long-term even storage. Three very big problems with protobufs: (1) Protobufs are not self-describing. There is a meta-model b…

GP is clueless. Kafka is in fact more resilient and much more performant than systems like MySQL. It's the difference between having one writer and many writers. More importantly, …

That write-up sounds absolutely terrifying. I really fear for what the .NET community might be doing with event sourcing. Event sourcing is the definitive way to write high-perform…

There's no proof or sources for this. It's just more malicious nonsense. Salaries in Spain are less because, ironically, many Spanish harvest workers are from Eastern Europe and Po…

> If you're not white, it's almost socially acceptable to say "fuck white people" in cities like SF, NYC, and Chicago. This is a fucking joke. You would only believe this if you ha…

Virtually all of these currencies are very vulnerable to what's called a "Sybil attack." Bitcoin is no different [1]. Of course, to economists the concept of a "Sybil attack" is no…

What you're saying is absolutely nothing new. There's a lot of FUD and confusion in this thread (no surprise) but this has been apparent from the very beginning. "A Proof of Stake …

No, the result of a "narrow Overton window" is just anybody worth a damn leaving the conversation. Which is what the trolls and their heroic free speech defenders really want. The …

> It's my opinion that most women don't want to be programmers/ICs deep down, but in a bubble environment many women will gravitate towards CS because it's where the action is in t…

The thing stopping San Francisco from increasing density is democracy. The people of San Francisco do not want more density. They don't want more traffic and traffic fumes. They do…

It's because everybody knows that this has nothing to do with free speech. People like to be pretend to be concerned about free speech up until a very specific point . Everybody dr…

It's worth mentioning: Google broke the web when it monetized linking via PageRank. Literally overnight links went from being an organic expression of organization and interest to …

> The other companies won't have as many high quality women because Google scouted and hired them already, but will have just as many low and medium quality women who aren't good e…

This is the funny thing about the memo. How it's read is completely determined by people's own biases. That sentence makes it very clear that Damore considers women to be biologica…

You wouldn't be surprised because that's exactly what you want to believe. It's so funny: the more things change. For decades we've been hearing arguments about why women can't go …

> Because you have cases like Norway, one of the most genre equality countries, where the ratios or men/women in tech are even worse that less genre equality countries. And the mos…
