It's a well established fact that a much larger percentage of non-Western immigrants is unemployed compared to Western immigrants and/or locals. [1] [2] As I'm excluding the people inside that group who wish to work but can't find a job fro

I'm always surprised that people don't bring up the Netherlands, which essentially has a BI. If you see a homeless person on the street here you can be sure they're either a drug addict or a mental patient, both on the street by choice ra

Love the product as well! My from-the-hip feedback: * From the opening screen I couldn't figure out if you were Hot Pop factory or Platonix. After I got that you sell Platonix and Boreal I still don't know how you two are related. * My #1 f

You also have Red5 which is open source and rocks very much. It is just a -tad- less reliable than Wowza which you can't really sell to paying customers, but it's much more fun and customizable. And to answer your question, Wowza is just a

My ideal twitter account would be closer to this list of major world events for 2013 on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013#Events (found that trying to look up what I would consider the main stories of this year ;)

Your points are all good tips on how to run a 'proper' dev shop. I was more cynically referring to big consultancies that intentionally complicate/delay a mission critical project in such a way that every time the new budget runs out just

Many consultancy companies define a project's success in terms of money extracted from the client. You were probably given a poor performance review because it was actually your vocal opposition that endangered the success of the project.

I'd say this is true. I can count the number of times I watched TV over the past 2 years on one hand. The only time I miss it is when I miss some huge event (earthquakes, shootings) and my friends look at me funny when they realise I haven'

If you want to make international phone number entry work better, I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about that recently. I've created a draft proposal you're more than welcome to follow up on at https://github.com/mtrimpe/jInternatio

No. I did finish my sentence. I excluded everything that is a choice . Being discriminated based on something that you can't change about yourself is substantially different from when it's based on something you can choose not to. P.S. I

I used the general term as just that, a general term to describe a class of voices. I wasn't referring to posts that used that exact generalized claim. As for scientific manner; there's a lot being discussed on HN that isn't scientific. Alt

I interpreted it as which kind of female voices got up-/downvoted: the ones that go along with general consensus or those that are critical of male privilege.

You can still find offices today that closely resemble that of Mad Men and in the 60s you could also have found offices that are as respectful of equality as today's average office. Why they chose this stage, and why it became such a succ

You're right that it's not specific to technology at all. It's better to think of it as the subset of sexism which occurs in the technology industry. Before downplaying the significance of this it's probably good to keep in mind though that

I'd argue with the PlayHaven guy's career being publicly shot to pieces, since hardly anyone even knows who he is and I doubt he's going to have a ton of trouble resuming his career in tech. > Don't underestimate her intelligence. She i

Don't worry. I'm European and I am certain beyond the shadow of a doubt that this won't get me anywhere near trouble under European libel laws. (Apart from the fact that there is no such thing as a 'European law') First of all, European lib

I really can't figure out why are women in tech so hard on themselves... From what I can tell Adria was a woman who misjudged the level of public support for her 'cause' and what was appropriate in 'defending it.' She crossed a line she did

I'm trying to say that they are linked through an underlying cause. Pornel says it much better than me in his comment though. Jon's closing email is also quite telling: Dear All, It is with a heavy heart that I send this message.

They seem linked to me. Since cases like this are much harder to pull off under European law unless you can show actual copy-pasted code, this (like the WebKit move) looks like the symptoms of clueless non-technical management taking over

While magnet URIs come close I think this would actually be a better match for a purely functional data store, like Datomic for example. If you namespaced each Datomic database and add a transaction ID you would get a reference to an immuta

Indeed. From what I can tell it seems that your post is actually taking aim at Java and it's ecosystem and how Maven embodies that more than against Maven itself. You're framing it as an attack against just Maven though..

Maven is very, very customizable. I've built ETL libraries that use a completely custom lifecycle (pre-/post- extract, extract, transform & load) in Maven with a directory structure to match. If you can't code in Java that will be hard,

In that case I'd say it's similar to the fact that people get depressed regardless from their objective situations and how happy they should be relatively to others. Put another way, I'd say that even a spoiled rich valley girl who tries to
