SMS is asynchronous, textual, and terse-- these qualities make it easier for a user to hide information they might otherwise reveal by accident.

1. async means pauses/spaces are unreliable as a source of info.

2. text hides inflection, which often betrays more than the speaker would like.

3. the expectation of brevity makes it easy to craft messages with ambiguous affect.

Sometimes people hide feelings when revealing them has an opportunity cost.

So that's one reason people use SMS.
Playing on the highest difficulty. Had no issues with buying anything I wanted before leaving white orchard (tutorial area).
Still, it is interesting that even German media keep talking about the "pause" that never existed.

I really hope that the investigation will be dropped officially. If it will mere be discontinued and put on ice, this would have a really bad psychological effect on Markus and André. Even if it is 99.999% sure that they won't face any repression, having the investigation dropped would be a clear cut, and enable them to be truly relieved.

Unfortunately so far the same is possible for gitlab too.

Ag in the US gets huge subsides even on exports which are vastly beyond its economic impact (~1% GDP). The reason for this is because it's focused in low population states which have massively disproportionate political power due to the way the house and senate are setup.

USA picked it up for the second season before the first episode aired, which is a fairly bold move, showing the faith the network has in the show.

It was also originally conceived as a movie, and the first season of the show would have been act one of the movie, so it's laying a fine, detailed groundwork for whatever is to come.

Both can be efficient. In text, in some mediums, you and the other person can talk in parallel, which is quite challenging (and unconventional/"impolite" even if possible) in verbal communication. You don't need to wait for a break in the conversation; what you say gets processed in a queue-like fashion by others listening. For that matter, I've been on active IRC channels before where many people are holding several different conversations simultaneously, and nobody considers that rude; that's not really possible in verbal communication.

On the other hand, people can be unnecessarily verbose and circumlocutory in text (especially email, as opposed to IM or similar), while in voice you can more easily push for directness.
Right, so how is what you are saying not what I said? GitLab CE is free and open source, you can install it wherever you want and manager your repo. You can personalize it and change the code to suit your needs. Does GitHub offer the same option?
There is probably a subtext we are missing.

I'll pull out one part of your comment to ask a question: you wrote,

The USA education system does allow their top kids fly freely(which is really a small percentage)

and I would like to ask, where does that happen? What place in the United States allows the top kids to fly freely? I ask, because I interact online most regularly with parents who have children identified as gifted children through regional Talent Search programs or specialized summer mathematics programs or the Davidson Institute for Talent Development.[1] I only very rarely hear of "top kids" (by any reasonable definition of top kids) whose parents report that the USA education system allows their children to fly freely. I just looked at your Hacker News user profile to see if you identify what country you are from. It is unusual enough here in the United States to say "USA education system" rather than "U.S. education system" or "United States education system" that I wonder whether you have ever experienced the education system here in the United States during your own education. On my part, I get the distinct impression that the United States education system underperforms for all learners in its care,[2] although not as badly as, say, Mexico's or India's.

It's awesome to see this because I've been planning on doing something very similar for a future project. The only major difference between what I was envisioning is that I was still going to have a few EC2 servers to maintain WebSocket connections to the client as I want near-instant responsiveness. Another minor difference is that I was planning on using a static site hosting provider like Netlify to host static content since it's a) cheaper and b) automatically uses a CDN.

But my worry has been on the performance side of Lambda...that near-instant feel is going to be compromised if there's much latency introduced and I still haven't done any performance testing to see how much latency Lambda introduces. Have you done any exploration along these lines? In particular, I'll need to figure out what the consistent overhead is and how often Lambda doesn't reuse previous instances and forces db reconnects and the like.
I'm highly suspicious of "unlimited" vacation or leave policies because the line between reasonable and not is still there, it's just way less visible and ultimately arbitrary, depending on your management chain and workload. I can't wait for this fad to die. Let's just have generous, well-defined leave policies that don't put the onus on the employee to figure out what is OK and what isn't.

"Experience shows people perform better at work when they’re not worrying about home." People also perform better at work when they're not worrying about repercussions for being seen to abuse their "unlimited" leave.

Saying "the US" is usually not helpful here, since many of these issues are simply not legislated at the national/federal level. Some states do have paid leave: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maternity_leave_in_the_United_...
Press freedom is part of the German Grundgesetz (the constitution) as well, so there's really no difference here.

Introducing Bernard Lonergan's Philosophical Proof for God
> I'm glad to see paternity leave included and given equal weight to maternity. So many employers don't offer this important benefit.

Really? What employer doesn't offer family leave on equal terms? Certainly, this used to be quite common, but every place I've seen for many years has explicitly been equal.
> Any politician who votes for or promotes any law that actively and intentionally seeks to violate the first amendment is guilty of treason.

Wow, that's going to be lots of fun. That would include every politician who voted for the campaign finance limits overturned by Citizens United. And every one who voted for the Affordable Care Act would have been on very thin ice, although the Hobby Lobby case ended up not being decided on 1st Amendment grounds.

Careful what you wish for.
You could probably do this with Fanout.io, which has a WebSocket->HTTP gateway.
Allowing deletions on a discussion board is a bad idea. A dissatisfied person should not be able to trash context and history and public conversations going back years in some misguided attempt to reclaim privacy that never existed in the first place.

This sounds harsh but I've been in one too many old forum posts that were rendered incomprehensible due to some selfish person. Think before you post and it'll never be a problem.
Does Netflix publish any stats about vacation usage?

I would love to see stats. I doubt they'll publish them. If people use less vacation than they used to (before the policy went into effect), then they would take a negative PR hit for it. If they used more than before, then it might encourage other employees to do the same.

first they forked node, then began using semver, and very quickly got to 2.x and now 3.x.

Merging with node just means now anyone using node can use whichever version they want, and future versions are officially part of node.

I'm hoping they will converge towards Go, with its fine-grained threading model (with shared state), as opposed to an asynchronous model which is effectively the cooperative-multitasking that we remember from Windows 3.1.

Asynchronous programming forgets that the CPU is also a resource that needs to be managed in a non-blocking way. Currently, in Nodejs, long-running computations (e.g., computing a large prime number), totally block the CPU.

EDIT: For anybody saying that shared-state is a bad thing, read up on functional datastructures with structural sharing.
You can use github's api to identify out who pushed a commit:

> Unlimited leave policies encourage employees to self-police and conform to peer pressure.

I'm sympathetic to your concerns, but this is still a good thing and–importantly–a very good step in the right direction.

Playing devil's advocate a little, but this "peer pressure" idea seems to come with paid vacation too. I think, to an extent, it's peoples own responsibility to resist this peer pressure, rather than the company's. I would always take paid vacation on principle, for example. If you don't want me to take it, don't offer it to me–and if you don't offer it to me, I'll take a job somewhere else, thank you. I'm quite happy for the quality of my work to be judged on its own merits. Which is not to say it's easy to do if you're working at a company with an entrenched culture of abusive expectations. But we only become complicit in it if we give into peer pressure rather than asserting our rights, no?

That said, I say this from the privileged position of living in a country where taking paid vacation is expected, so perhaps it's easy for me to say...
Society isn't a group of people trying to get over on each other, but the small minority who thinks like you have given cause to authoritarians to treat all of us like we are you.

But in my understanding a version number also reflects where a project stands in respect to features planned vs features implemented.

Nope. Version numbers are completely arbitrary. Firefox is on version 39 and Chrome is on 46.0.2471.2 and Safari is on version 8.0.6 and Webkit is on version 10600.6.3.

Windows 3.1 was followed by Windows 95 was followed by Windows 2000 was followed by Windows 7 was followed by Windows 10?

So learning it as a general skill excludes the notion of art and gaming? What? If coding wasn't intrinsecally A LOT about PLAYING with ideas and concepts and designing them in the most simple/efficient, beautiful and creative way (art) then IT wouldn't have got where it is now.

From what you say and how you speak, yes you are. And you are also half conscious about it. You could have reached some kind of saturation point. Maybe you need to do something different for a while and find other stimuli somewhere else.

If i recall right, it's abuse of this that got the farcical/satirical "c plus equality" project drummed out of nearly every code hosting site. The name and email pulls in a Gravatar, the same one probably used on many other sites, with the result that it amounts to a really convincing forgery.
This would've been better if it was like a cliched startup closing. "It's been a wild ride", "privileged to get to go on such a journey", etc.
I think unlimited with a minimum is really the solution.

Never say "shared state" and "threading" in the same sentence.

If anything, all languages need to move to an Erlang shared-nothing model. But, Erlang was doing all this back in the 80s, so people have to re-invent it worse in the 2010s to feel special. You can't just go around using things other people made (OPC—other people's code) that just work, you have to make it your own and start your own conferences and books and webinars and vine instaslacks.

Erlang is also preemptive (bumping reductions) so your "long running computation spinning on a thread" problem goes away too. Though, we can't say "goes away"—sounds too much like Go—how about it "erlangs away" the problem?

Decent write up on erlang scheduling at http://jlouisramblings.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-erlang-does-...

Also see decent writeup about shared-nothing at http://jlouisramblings.blogspot.com/2013/10/embrace-copying....

Erlang also has per-process (green thread) heap/GC (i.e. no 'stop the world' required), full load balancing over your CPUs, unbelievably useful pattern matching, atoms/symbols, full serialization of all native data types, built with network distribution in mind from the ground up, plus a syntax that doesn't look like somebody woke up from the 70s in 2010 and decided to write a new language just like their old favorite language. Any knocks against Erlang syntax is because it stands on the shoulders of giants, not because somebody made it in 2010 and ignored all programming language and usability research from the past 40 years.

> How about we pass another, federal law. Any politician who votes for or promotes any law that actively and intentionally seeks to violate the first amendment is guilty of treason.

Were Congress to pass a putative law which purported to do that, and were any effort made to enforce it, it would no doubt be quickly struck down by the federal courts for the cavalier way in which it flies directly in the face of U.S. Const., Art. III, Sec. 3, clause 1.
Thanks for the suggestion. Based on yours and other feedback, we may look at approaching either corporate fleet manager or accountants to act as a bit of a 'reseller channel' for us to spread the word amongst their workers/clients.

I think targeting the freelancer/small business person directly was not as effective as I thought.
When you think about it, though, the idea that Witchers would be poor is kind of a dumb concept. With the powers they have, and the services they provide to people, there is zero believable reason for them to be poor.

It's very encouraging to see some states have it, but an awful lot of that map is blank... I did see a news article recently about the Navy being quite progressive in this regard though (recently tripling its maternity leave time), which is also encouraging.

LOL. Going to work is a vacation compared to taking care of an infant.
Agreed. Well, probably not enough focus on 'pre marketing' and doing a full study of the potential market before embarking on the development stage...

GP is talking about parity between maternity and paternity leave. Citing statistics about the existence (or, as is demonstrably more common, non-existence) of maternity leave is pretty orthogonal to that.

Unless you're claiming that the fact that most states don't offer any paid maternity leave (and almost certainly no paid paternity leave, either) counts as the kind of parity the GP was arguing for, I guess.
