FWIW, I think the story hit the front page simply because it was a positive story about Rust and a lot of people in this community reflexively upvote that sort of thing. I took your comment as well deserved criticism against the community.

Being asked to solve it using lookup tables is not a tricky problem. It's a straight-forward application of bitwise operations common in the field of software engineering.

Are you assuming men and women are not choosing these roles freely or are you suggesting to force them to do things they do not want to do?

> I agree that the gender pay gap is troubling, but I'd like to see more fathers as primary caregivers instead of looking for ways to make primary caregivers also earn as much as primary earners. Why would you like to see this?

> By "cost-free" I mean that they use precise traces so that memory is always freed at the exact moment it is no longer used. So they underestimate (greatly IMHO) the memory used by malloc/free versus the garbage collector

It's nonsense, the only way to make a GC fast is to use many times as much memory as manual management (about 6x to reach parity[1]). [1] https://people.cs.umass.edu/~emery/pubs/04-17.pdf

I guess that's why you Rust guys don't have exceptions, so you don't have to pay this cost. </s>

Net revenue is what Uber makes after paying the drivers. IOW, any losses Uber has accrued in that quarter is based upon costs outside of the rides themselves.

How is $1584M net revenue in Q4 subsidizing rides?

> They break labor and transport laws flagarantly. This was addressed in the second half of my post. Most people didn't really have a problem with this part for a long time.

Just an accusation at this point.

Most of the criticism of Uber boils down to calling them a bunch of "bros" or saying that they push back against legislation that you just admitted has had a positive effect on the world.

Willingness to ignore rules does not lead to these actions. It's nonsensical. There is no way you would tell a complainant that you were protecting a manager because they were high performing. You would be extremely secretive about tha

The only thing that review says in reference to women is "Emotionally unintelligent male managers (all the way up to the CEO) make it hard for women to feel heard and valued." This has nothing to do with sexual harassment. There i

Telling a victim that they should expect to be abused further (in the form of a negative review) does not minimize boat rocking or protect the interests of the organization. It leaves them open to lawsuits and antagonizes the victim into fu

I have a hard time believing HR really behaved the way they are portrayed in that article. They really claimed that if she elected to stay in her current department she should expect to receive a negative review from the boss she rejected f

You don't have to use setjmp/longjmp in libpng, it's just the default behavior. You can instead set an error callback to do whatever you want.

The _average_ Indian, Bangladeshi or Chinese will move up in the world? I get the impression that you are comparing the exceptional people from those countries to the lowest performing Americans. Also, if the average person from those count
