Flipping off a bad hardware company, writing some scathing roasts of patches... he's obviously not checking himself into staid polite behavior, absolutely. The extent to which this makes him a jerk, or makes him bossy is a connection that I've always felt is tenuous at best.

Even his meanest patch roasts are things that I'd hope people realize can be taken in stride; technical work will have to go in but work can progress, and Linus is not forebearing, he's not enhancing the difficulty of doing that technical work by being directly scathing to the existing work, and generally (what I think most people regards as) humorous and spirited to the rest of the readership.

What I haven't seen is any real attempt to find citeable referencable direct impacts of Linus being flamboyant as he produces his technical outlook. Which contributors have taken serious injury, and how has it impacted them? Certainly contributing is hard and finding out the work needs to be redone is hard: what measures can we assign to how much harder those necessary acts are when it's a "jerk"-y delivery (which as I said is not a term I'm not confident is appropriate or applicable). Rather than focus on Linus's behavior as problematic and the emphasis of it being a deeply stemmed root cause, I'd like to see some hard impact-analysis with good data behind it that gives a better idea of why we should adopt strict tone-policing of the necessary harsh and brutal technical review process.
Have you ever worked on a car? Tons of specialized tools can be needed for some tasks. Do you have a set of triple square bits? General purpose puller? Bearing extraction tool? How about half inch drive Tor-X sockets? 200 ft lb torque wrench? When you work on a car for fun, you find that your collection of tools balloons just for all the things on the car that require one specific tool. If you think you can do everything on the car with just a simple socket set, you'll wind up stuck and having to buy a new tool for every task.
When I first encountered this behavior on BitBucket, I spent a lot of time reading the man pages and searching the internet trying to find out which option were they providing to `git diff` to get this diff output but couldn't find anything. Looks like there is indeed no such option. It would be awesome if git had something like `git diff branch-name --merge-commit-diff`.
If you're interested in these questions, you should read http://www.amazon.com/Whos-Charge-Free-Science-Brain/dp/0061... to learn more about how brains work.

There is good evidence that different parts of our brain think in very different ways, and we suppress awareness of how different they are. Verbal thinking in particular relies heavily on a section of the brain that is very good at making rationalizations, and is not necessarily well connected to the parts of your brain that are making the decisions you are trying to understand. Therefore our verbal descriptions of thinking is interesting, but not particularly reliable or informative.

It is worth noting that many negative reviews come from people who think that current thought from philosophical schools should have been included. Given my temperament and beliefs, I took this as a buy recommendation and am happy that I did.
I'm not aware of any changes between 1.x and 2.x that would corrupt a repo... I use a mix on various systems, some even still have git 1.7.x on them. The only problem I run into is when you have some script that depends on a newer git feature added in a newer version...

My money would be on Dropbox busting your repo somehow. I don't think Dropbox is an ideal solution for pushing/pulling git repos from.
I really like their API documentation pages (https://lob.com/docs), does anyone know if this was built using an open source project of some sort, or have any recommendations for one?
You aren't really shrinking a PNG though - you're making a JPEG partially transparent.
In many parts of the US, school nurses and teachers are critically involved in identifying kids that might have ADHD and getting them on the track for treatment (whether that treatment is medicinal or purely behavioral intervention). In my experience they don't push it, but they let parents know what resources are available, and have contact info for low-cost or cost-deferred pediatric clinics that can give the actual diagnosis.

Europeans tend to gasp with horror that the school system is "pushing drugs on kids." But it's really more that through the school system the kids and their families have access to free medical advice and social services. So whereas in Europe you might have to remember to ask your general/family practitioner when you see them once a year, in the US there's a team of professionals working through the school system that are making sure kids have everything they need to succeed. Usually that's things like free food so they're not hungry or school bus transportation, but in ~5-10% of the cases it means ADHD diagnosis and treatment. So while this a bit less than double the percentage of kids that get ADHD diagnosis in Europe, it makes a bit more sense in context.
Instagram was a much more niche app back when it was iOS-only, and it didn't have the likes of FB, Twitter and Microsoft racing to copy all of its features.
For catastrophic failures the fines certainly become very large very quickly. And follow up fines if behaviour isn't changed do go up as well. So far, it's usually the former as most companies adjust by their first fine.
Sigh. "What you are saying is incorrect and harmful" is not the same as "I want to institute censorship on you".

"It's helped me, but everyone's depression is different" is not the same as "this will help you, just snap out of it".

The Internet would be a better place for everybody if people were spreading less medical misinformation. I contribute my own thoughts on this matter.
Another important distinction is that most of the operating systems you mentioned are not bound to any particular hardware.
Troy has covered this several times, but some sites, even showing in the PwnedWebsites list, are not viewable until/unless you confirm control of the email address or Domain.

e: To be clear, the Ashley Madison, and Adult Friend Finder (both breaches) are denoted on the list as not being publicly searchable.
Maybe. And maybe he’s there because he is a smart lad who knows which products to monitor closely.

After all he bought Instagram and WhatsApp for peanuts, and copied the best features of SnapChat.
The click bait and advertising in that "news" website is pure cancer
He advocated for a fix to a tax on vacant property owned by foreigners by imolementing it also on citizens, but only for second, third and so on properties. Which is just another compromise which will alleviate the problems a bit, but it will not go away fully for the same reasons the first tax didn't solve it fully.

All of these attempts are imperfect but more politically accepted variations of land tax.
If your third party libraries are so poisoned that you're leaking localstorage, you've got bigger problems than just localstorage... This argument against using localstorage makes no sense
Working at a company which practices this glorious thing called SAFe Agile, this article makes a lot of sense! So many people, so many teams, all continuously adding features to a codebase just because the methodology says you should - how does that work out in the long run? Engineers need time to remove code, we need time to garden and take care of debt. However I find fighting for these things to be a challenge largely skewed by the freight train that is SAFe and its ceremonies, and maybe this is the psychological fuel that powers it.

# rant over
Yes, you can do some optimizations. Keyed list diffing is obviously doable (any respectable vdom does it). Marko-style optimizations (i.e. compiling to no JS hydration logic whatsoever) is far more difficult. IIRC Dominic from the React team looked into it at some point a few years ago but it truly is a very very difficult class of optimizations to implement generically while also supporting unrestricted JS syntax.
If his website is an example of mastering html, he might be right about the complexity.
Right, so before cars were widespread (~50 years ago) people just didn't go to work?

I didn't own a car until I was 27 and when there's no other choice, you definitely can use a bike in all weathers. It sucks, but that's life. You appreciate the warmth more after weather so cold it makes your face sting.

As for rural living, the article is talking about cities, so the idea is you travel to the edge of the city by car then get on a bike.
This is an awful campaign but this article is also hilariously tone deaf. Automattic is/was what, a $3BN company and this is the personal blog of its primary owner trying to say they're NOT in it for money?
Yes, but function names are a useful way to separate long clauses
citation needed. this is about making it (medical) science, please don't make claims without anything to back it up.
>In all of the other examples, the consequences of breaking accrue to the person making the decision to break things.

If a fishing ship goes out to sea and fails to catch enough fish or is wrecked because of a storm, it affects the families of the crew and everyone else who depended on them.

If Michael Jordan fails and misses the game-winning shot, it affects his whole team. If it's losing a playoff elimination game, it affects the workers at the sports arena because they don't the get the income from extra games.

> With MFABT the party doing the breaking isn’t often the one suffering from the breakage

I don't know about every company that's (misusing) MFABT but with Facebook, it was their mantra before 2012 when they were not making any profits and trying to survive while competing against the bigger website, Myspace. Their software engineers could have conceivably broken their website so badly that FB goes out of business. That's what happened with Knight Capital when they misconfigured a server and lost $450 million.

MZ's aphorism is just a twist on a common observation about making progress. He expanded on it in an interview:

>We've optimized so much of our culture around just making it so that people can come and build things quickly. Whether it's everything from having the right tools in the right development environment to build things quickly, to nightly code pushes, hiring the best people who have a bias toward just pushing things very quickly, very entrepreneurial. The whole culture is tuned around that. And I think there's probably something in that for other entrepreneurs to learn which is that making mistakes is okay. At the end of the day, the goal of building something is to build something, not to not make mistakes. [1]

He actually does not want a broken Facebook system. But he also knows that if there are no mistakes, it means the team is not bold enough with adding features. Yes, they could die from a broken code deployment to production servers. But they'll also die if Myspace or Google+ is more aggressive in adding social networking features. Being ultra-conservative just to "avoid breaking things" will mean the business can go bankrupt and thus, there's no website to even worry about breaking.

Like the other guy said, of course policemen in germany carry weapons. Not sure where you picked up they don't. They're even clearly visible, carried openly on the belt.
Hadn't seen this language used to describe the everything bubble, but it fits. There's no gambler's ruin when you have an infinite supply of money.
> They may look different on the surface but they should be taking people to the same brain states

That seems to be the crux of the problem though... how do we know?
What do you mean by 'just Firefox'? Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari all support Progressive Web Apps in general.

Older browsers, on the other hand, might not be able to use offline features, but at least you can use the app in the traditional always-on mode.

For your comparison with Java: It is true, Java is very device-independent, but the deployment procedures are much more complicated than simply entering a URL.
Yeah, I've seen at least on of their buildings up in the North Dallas/Plano area by my apartment. I've looked them up but all their engineering-specific jobs seem to be out of their Santa Clara office. Do you know if they have engineering positions in North Dallas? If so, introductions would be fantastic.
They want pushback on the word, not the concept
I think the carpenter analogy is actually very good: it gives us a starting point for thinking about where MFABT is / isn't a good idea.
That's quite fun (especially chain-capturing!), can't beat Alpha Beta 3 yet. Any reasons for Rule 6?
Read about the mass defect.
Montreal has a never ending construction. A colleague of
mine says the mafia controls the construction business in Montreal. Seems like corruption is a tad high in Québec than Rest of Canada
Small tip for anyone that doesn't have a Quora account:

Appending ?share=1 to the end of any Quora URL will remove any signup walls you see. You can even automate with a quick Greasemonkey script for all Quora URLs.
Hehe. I’m fine with that outcome. I think it’s a good filter for companies that are too stringent. Humor is an important metric in work-life balance.

There are plenty of jobs. Once we run into another recession, maybe I’ll put on a suit.
When you really think about it deeply, better production should depress prices because of econ 101.

However, the FED induced inflation in assets has made everything out of control.
Can’t learn to ski without snow...

Also the first line on the wiki mention that this entry needs to be updated.

The level of funding is as hot as it’s ever been. NOAA predicts a winter with temperatures above the normals. So I would go with that.
> The issue is that TLS handshakes are actually quite

Agreed and a very good point. IPs that end up on the "blacklist" are rejected before any handshake occurs. The description I gave was really quite simplified.

As michaelcampbell pointed out, prettier has ~20 pretty robust configuration options, and it's not exactly obscure information. If you're already aware of this, what do you feel is missing?
Tuesday 2am is the lowest we'll see around North Dallas. 2°F is current prediction
In Russia tickets from camera are issued by police officer. There is also a lot of errors, but You can go to court with a person that sign You a ticket. And it works.
We do yarn/lerna for the js side of our monorepo, and it's pretty ok. Hard to imagine not doing lerna/yarn/npm workspaces at this point, esp. vs say git submodules. Our warts here are more on getting docker incrementalized well, incl. for smaller air-gapped friendly builds + fast dev cycles.

More interesting to me is changelogs + docs. We juggle multiple server APIs and multiple rest + client APIs over them. At this point, I'm pretty against fully-auto-changelogs for medium projects with current tools. I suspect there are some missing SaaS companies here. ReadTheDocs + these kinds of changelog tools leave a lot to be desired. Maybe not VC-scale, but definitely bootstrap-scale...
I should have stuck to my main point which is that they actually did have traditional backup power which is also offline.
No, theft is theft, regardless of whether or not you return the item later.

There is no loophole that allows people to temporarily steal things as long as they kindly return them later.
The tone was not that of an outrage juicer opinion piece to me. Rather it was that of someone finally peeling off the sugar coating in exasperation. I'm OK with that.
Thank you for starting this.

It's something that needs to exit!
Except in places where the power is being stolen.
Electric heat doesn't need any duct system though, which is nice. Also, no chimney to worry about. For places with low-co2 footprint electricity, it makes a lot of sense.

Granted, down in TX central AC is a lot more important than worrying about heat for a once-every-30-years cold situation.
The Catholic Church pivoted from being a policy maker to a spiritual leader for billions. Maybe journalism can do the same. Now that everybody has a voice and network to distribute that voice, journalism can shift from being the chief reliable information source to the role of a thought leader and promoter of the highest quality public discourse.
I think this has more to do with people hating to write CRUD vs crafting queries for a report of some sort. I can see the argueement for thinking about SQL as wasting brain power when you're just doing simple interactions.
Agreed. "Hurrah for the Blackshirts", "Sturdy Young Nazis" and all that.
I'm confused by this. On the one hand it says:

> We'll randomly remind by email and SMS.

Then it says:

> These intelligent reminders come to you
> at the right times.

And there doesn't appear to be any explnation.
Ok, signed up. As soon as I made the account, you are trying to upsell me to buy some monthly plan. You are going for the close too early. At least let me try out the thing. Slowly slowly catchy monkey.
I think that it depends on your definition of 'foreseeable'.

One of the first markets I can see this disrupting are things like war-gaming miniatures, and board gaming pieces, which have a HUGE markup, but could be reproduced in plastic relatively easily after a more few generations of this tech. I'm not sure about patents per-se, but it's certainly an intellectual property issue.

Once these printers gain the ability to draw circuits and build or insert basic electronic components, things will really take off, but even before then there are some big markets for what are basically hunks of plastic and metal that are only expensive because they're well designed/marketed.

Will you be printing off an iPhone in 5 years? Of course not. But that fancy $60 paperweight on your boss's desk? There's a big market for those too.
This tracks very well with Andrew's Mixergy interview of Spanish entrepreneur Juan Dominguez (http://mixergy.com/redcpa-viajar-juan-dominguez/), where Juan mentions that there are really no VCs in Spain, and the money sources there offer atrocious terms.
It absolutely is not, that's a 1:1 log of my stuff and no parts were removed other than the lines not spoken by me or referring to me.

I don't think posting a full log of the channel is appropriate, if the other people that were there wish to publish their parts with their ids in there that's fine with me.
The "Photo Ghosting" feature wouldn't be a priority for most photo sites. It illustrates how diverse the needs are among people who share photos for different purposes. This bears repeating: asking if there's room for another photo-sharing site is as silly as asking if there's room for another word-sharing site.
The law being ethical is what lawyers would call a 'legal fiction'.

This is why the first juries established jury nullification.
Nope, it's not that difficult to understand, though English captions for buttons would be nice to have
That is absolutely awesome. I used to have something like this: a pair of very fast dacs hooked up to the 16 address lines of my computer and another dac hooked up to the databus. It allowed me to look straight into the memory of the machine as the processor was accessing it, quite a powerful tool. Yours is nicer though (and with todays memory size I'd hate to think about the quantity of data that passes in a split second across the bus of a modern pc).
I think this will come in the form of an LCD on flexible fabric in a few years. You'll roll it up into a tube and take it with you in your messenger bag.

No, they are currently just requiring export licenses "to get an overview". Up to now, all export requests have been granted and there are large parts of the world where no license is required:
https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/weltwirtschaft/eu-impfs...

Overall I would call it useless EU blustering, there won't be an export ban, no matter what happens. It is just the minimum required measure to save face.
Israel has competition between several private healthcare providers. That fact makes them agile and efficient than most places in the world (e.g. Britain's NHS ).
The army has nothing to do with the vaccine rollout.
Do you have some data showing that the amount of carbon stored in Siberian forests has a more significant warming effect than the methane escaping from the warming ground?
Is it zero sum? People keep saying that but if you give the suppliers more money, that allows them to scale up more and faster. It's not a given that they're just at 100 percent of their production capacity.
This post was updated over the weekend and I'm happy to share that the eBook has now reached 10k in sales in just under a month.

This is more money than corporate users have paid in sponsorships in 4 years to the OpenFaaS project, which says something about the current state of funding.

It's not going to solve the funding problems of open source, but I decided to try something else and it had better than expected results.
On the "dedicated to public use" issue Khosla won at trial and (as the bloomberg article says) also won on appeal. So it seems like at least some judges have agreed with him.

I'm definitely in the camp that light / dark mode should match the time of day or ambient light level. I love having "light mode" in the morning, but at night I always prefer dark mode. But this is because I have a huge amount of ambient light in the room in the day, and at night I have none. Dark mode is unreadable to me when the bright sun is shining on a monitor. Not so with light mode.
Yeah, at least if Hilbert spaces can fuck off, which is why we can approximate signal processing on digital computers at all. And, because of space-filling curves, in some sense ℝⁿ is equivalent to ℝ. But, to understand signal processing, a much more useful point of view is that ℝⁿ is significantly different for different values of n, but not completely unrelated; and ℤⁿ is a useful approximation of ℝⁿ, as is (ℤ/mℤ)ⁿ.

What sort of impurities are you concerned with? Are there many drugs that are psychoactive at such low (microgram) doses?
At the risk of adding to your 2-3 hours, you might want to check out Key Chord [0] (if you don't use it already) for some low-hanging fruit.

I have never heard him referred to as "Steve Woz". Steve Wozniak, sure. Woz, yes. Or even "the Woz".
Pigeon.ly is a great idea.

One question though, is this the same startup that didn't pay the dev shop that built their website? Can't find those link anymore, but remember this was a big deal some time ago.

My apologies if I'm remembering incorrectly.
I feel like perhaps I'm the only one concerned about this:
(Somehow, “SmartOS + LX-branded zones + SmartDataCenter + sdc-portolan + sdc-docker” was a bit of a mouthful.)

Not only is it a mouthful, it means there is a much wider space for things to go wrong.
I'm in Austin too, we need to hurry up and make the Breakfast Taco™ framework before someone else does.
