Now that goal operates under the assumption that while individuals vary, all groups (a group is what society categorizes as a group) don't normally yield power to others; they don't want others to control them.

Are you really postulating that because society categorizes something as a group, therefore members of this group suddenly act in a completely altruistic manner towards their groupmates?

That's a pretty remarkable claim. Interestingly, the only people I've seen making this claim besides you are the (normatively) racist side of the human biodiversity movement. You might find Jayman's debunking of these folks enlightening - he's focused on ethnic groups specifically, but social groups have even less motivation for altruism.

To put this concretely, my real world choices are a) hire a Guju to help a Punjabi get rich while going home and banging a hot nigerian woman or b) less money, less enjoyable work, less capable coworkers and less attractive women, but I'll suffer with that out of group altruism. I guess you believe b) is the logical choice that virtually everyone makes.

Also, let me list the numbers and make my question clear. Asians are currently about 40% of tech and 4.7% of America. For black Americans to be represented in tech in equal proportions, and for us to NOT kick Asians out, then we'd need to recruit a number of black people equal to 104% of the entire tech industry. I.e., we'd need about 3 million black people to enter tech.

To bring Asians back down to 4.7% in tech, overall you'd need to increase the size of the industry by 750%, bringing it up to 25.5M people (from approx 3M). That seems a little implausible.

Your real world choices are a) accept unequal representation or b) kick Asians out. Which do you favor?
Plenty of corporate drones, upper middle class, millionaires and billionaires have done the devil's work with 12hr+ work days, they just do it on such a grand scale and under the protection of corporations they are rarely punished.

While moving to a basic income might require a shift in society's values, it's no more likely to cause criminal behavior than the ever increasing income disparity here in the U.S. A basic income would also likely usher in a new age of entrepreneurship once members of all economic classes can entertain the thought of doing work they love rather than forced to take any work they can get.

But I guess it's better to just quote a folklore and pretend the idleness is bad (of course Donal Trump got an education because he could readily afford it, didn't make him less wrong).
The point (of this obvious joke) was that everything inside a script tag which has a "src" attribute was ignored, however HTML5 disallows that.

value | 0 will always return a 32 bit integer.

Math.floor(value) can return some weirder values such as: NaN (for anything that isn't a number), and Infinity, -Infinity, -0. And Math.floor(-1e-300); is -1 so care needs to be taken with floating values near zero.
I run a software company. A very small software company. Instead of focusing on growing it, I've focused on being able to work part time and remotely.
The surrounding context is "read in this faux-XML file". I could paste the whole method that parses the file but that line would still make no sense without an explanatory comment about the lack of spec (there's about 2x as many lines of comments as code because of this) and that some files have a duplicated `template` key but some don't and all the code which uses the `template` key assumes it's in the `config` section.
Skoar – A musical programming language
I think the disaster that is Twitter is a product of its culture. If you read the history of the business, it started with a group of people who really arrived in the business quite randomly. There wasn't much thought given to building a balanced team or a strong culture. Effectively, twitter was an accident that came out of another business.

Most worryingly, the founders couldn't agree on what the purpose of Twitter was, and illuminatingly people in this discussion still don't have a clear idea of its purpose. Is it a news broadcast system, to follow current events? Or is it about sharing your personal life with your friends?

From a technical point of view, I find Twitter very confusing. I read that they were at over a million users before having any kind of backup strategy. They rewrote their systems from Java to Scala, but then seemed to regret that decision, their decisions on shutting down API access to third parties have been really nasty... this kinda thing makes me worry that they don't have clear leadership.

And then there's the politics of infighting, and some of their executives being "overthrown" over time... I can't see how you can create a good culture when people at the top are behaving like that. It's hardly rocket science - just focus on the product and your users.

I think creating a culture from the beginning is a lot easier than changing an engrained culture, so my view is that Twitter is screwed. Failing a Jobsian turnaround, the best they can do is sell and sell fast. I can seriously see Twitter losing out to a startup. Any thoughts on whether they will survive?
Time and time again the argument against commenting is that "good code is self-documenting," which makes perfect sense for those experienced enough to document the code in their heads but I don't think holds the same value for developers who do not have the experience to understand what they're reading.

If you throw junior\graduate programmer into a complicated and mature code-base it will just stiffle their learning.

I'd rather take some time to leave a comment and explain how a method operates, particularly the complicated ones, then block a junior dev (even if it should be obvious after a few minutes of reading for someone else.)
You can view images in an xterm, though it relies on X11's lack of partitioning. Xterm sets an environment variable containing its window handle, so child processes can use that to draw in xterm's window. w3m-img (an in-terminal graphical web browser and file viewer) uses this trick.

> At times I think back to when websites were produced in Flash. For all its downfalls (and there were a lot) one thing was always true. Flash sites rarely looked the same.

The author clearly doesn't remember what it was actually like to arrive on a Flash site, and play the fun games of 'where has the designer hidden the navigation today?' and 'oh crap, how do I turn the sound off?'.

Design patterns are there to ensure that functionality works in a roughly consistent manner across different sites, so instead of having to spend ages figuring out an inscrutable interface, the user can easily buy a product or find the information they want and get on with their day.

This is not a trend. This is lots of people slowly figuring out how content should be structured for maximum usability in a web context. Layout conventions will develop over time, as new ideas are incorporated and technology changes, but that's a good thing.

As has been pointed out, books have looked roughly the same for the last few hundred years, but design innovation has only increased, as technology and our understanding of the conventions involved has improved.

The visual design area is more susceptible to trends - a few years ago everything was glossy, then with 'Flat UI' everything became dark blue and a sickly shade of green. But that's ok too. Except for the green, that was horrible.

The danger is with 'cargo cult' design. That's where the complaint against generic themes is valid – a style is used because it's popular without thinking about whether it's actually the best fit for the content and what's to be achieved.
Yeah, the HA information was buried/non-existent in the docs until recently, I guess. We also ran into issues when replacing the master, b/c the kubelets where fixed to an ip and the nodes' configuration was basically immutable (provisioned by cloud-config).

What worked for us: Accessing the the master by DNS and putting etcd on a persistent volume. This way we're able to replace the master within a DNS records ttl. As the api server is not a hard requirement for the workload, this is HA enough for us.
>Generic wins out every time.

Frankly, unless you are a company where design differentiation is paramount, it is much safer to do what everyone else is doing and be "good enough".

It's cheaper, faster, and possibly on average better for visitors to glean the messages you want them to hear, compared to more daring designs.
It's sad that you're suggesting that a good accessible intuitive website needs to follow a specific design recipe or else doomed.

If I'm going to buy software from a website, what matters is quality information architecture and UX, which could be presented in any number of ways.

"Don't make me think"... next you'll be wanting all your restaurant menus to follow the McDonald's menu style guide.

"Thinking" doesn't need to be an annoyance. Promoting "you don't need to think" might even backfire. You're ignoring the benefits of standing out as unique. Leaving a lasting impression however small, can be the difference between earning respect or being seen as playing it safe and therefore a clone in the consumer's eyes. Clones are expendable.

It's a fine line, a balancing act that sorts the confident websites out from the copycat yawn-fests. Take the risk I say, but it's a philosophical difference.
Sshmuxd: SSH proxy to replace jump hosts
P.S. I like how my grand parent comment had -1 score before you replied but is now recovering well.

FWIW, it's easy to read that as a reddit-esque throwaway oneliner, which HN doesn't really encourage, rather than serious commentary about social media optimization for a musician. When I have a comment like that, and I do occasionally, I generally thicken it out a bit to signal "No, wait, actual thought happened." (An example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10177005 was originally just the first two sentences, which taken alone read like middlebrow dismissal, so I added a bit of supporting detail.)
My grandmom probably had Alzheimer's because she would always forget what my name was (she'd think she is talking to my little brother) or she would ask the same questions every 5/10 minutes.

I can see slight similarities with my dad now. He might repeat the same question within 5 minutes-- this happens when he's really tired.

I remember there was a discussion here about preventative drugs? Anyone one had experience with them?
True Partitions are rare; For most datacenters, the ingress and egress port (fiber link to the outside world) is the same, and if they have redundancies they have enough and are self-healing enough that it's all-or-nothing - Either you're down, and can safely consider that node 'lost', or you're not, and you can communicate with it.

Remember that CAP refers to the whole network. When you partition, you can safely ignore a large portion of the network. So long as you have greater than half in a network shard, you can continue serving safely from that section. If you have datacenters A, B, and C, if C drops from the network consistently, you can still serve traffic from A and B while C is down - And your logic should be built to handle this case. AWS and similar frameworks give you all the tools you need to build this. If you're multihoming your IP, your backend detects the partition, and stops offering the route. If you're using an ELB, you start failing health-checks [1]. Partitions are not rare - Full service partitions, where A, B, and C are in their own shards, are, and you have the tools to deal with it.

On the other hand, where the P still matters a lot is in speed. If you need replicas of data in the US, Europe, and Asia, you're going to have a bad time - For all three to agree takes >100ms, even in the best case. That is where you start thinking of the tradeoffs - Do you sacrifice unified-worldview for speed? The answer is almost certainly yes - Very few idioms require unified worldview, even banking.

Aaand... Looking at their landing page[1] I can see they've chosen to go with a horizontal page layout. Because they use a non standard page layout they have a black stripe bumping in and out of the viewport instructing the user that they can/should scroll. This is quite a common layout among artsy portfolio themes[2].

Has anyone ever tried to sidescroll a web page lately? On my Yosemite MBP with latest Firefox/Chromium I just get a jitter and no movement. Sometimes the scrollbar moves in the wrong the direction and then dies.

Moral: what is tried and tested usually works very well.

An exception is small scale local artisanal natural/organic market gardens and family farms that rely on skilled hand labor almost exclusively. You will never and should never consider replacing that with automation and machines. The quality products made available to the public from these operations benefit from the extra attention to detail and experience gained from a lifetime spent in this type of agriculture, sometimes called peasant farming. If you want to know more about peasant sovereignty read the following:

I don't know. It kind of sounds to me like you're saying that millions of people over hundreds of years are either running, or falling, for a huge scam.

Whereas the alternative is that maybe you're just wrong or misunderstanding of how things work.

I'd generally put higher odds on you being wrong, than of an entire field being so completely off base, at least a field as large and well researched as this.
Ok, I felt slighted by your presumption that I can't read classical notation.

Can we turn the discussion around? I'm legitimately curious about what music you like. My dad tried to make it professionally as a classical guitarist (a long time ago), so we may have more in common than you think in terms of musical taste.

Here's an example of music I really like that can't be adequately described by classical notation. Jan Jelinek's "Do Dekor"...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkpaDpwdSUI

Jelinek's music is actually fairly tonal but has static-y, noisy textures with arhythmic clicks and pops. I think you might like it.

That though is actually fairly traditional compared to some of the noise music and harsh metal that I enjoy. Here's another example, some blistering avant-garde instrumental death metal:

What you're saying is inherently incorrect. "Usefulness" of content is always going to be more limited by 140 characters than it would otherwise be.

It worked, not because people want to "share" less, but because they want to read less. Same reason a lot of people browsing Reddit for example only browse it by glimpsing the headlines. The more news there is, the less people are interested in the details of the news - they want to let their brains fill in the details.

Say, for example (and please don't read too much into the example), you read an article that says "Police shoots an innocent civilian". Then a few days later, you read another article very similar to it. Then another. At some point you stop reading the article and you just glimpse the headline - filling in the details yourself, even if they are wrong. You do this for every article you come across, and you enter a cycle where everything you read ends up fitting your own learned narrative. Your brain autocompletes the content of every article... and if there is no match, you can just ignore it.

This sort of behaviour is something you see a lot of on Reddit. People are attracted to short snippets of information they can autocomplete. Most don't want to spend a lot of time on something they might be reading on the toilet, or on the subway. It's the same reason mobile toilet games are racking in millions, while the PC gaming market is taking a major hit.

This is very dangerous.

This makes a lot of sense. To address a comment or two: It doesn't seem like much of a stretch to imagine that 21echoes' proposal includes the concept that websites of a similar nature should resemble each other rather than that all websites should look alike.

There have been automated picking machines for almost everything for years, mostly with purely mechanical systems. All the big field crops were mechanized decades ago. Blueberry picking machines have been around for decades. They require flat ground and neat plant rows, though.

Automated strawberry picking is still hard, but Agrobot makes a robotic strawberry picking machine.[1] This is an vision-guided multi-arm robot system, which is rare in agriculture. These more complex machines are still marginal economically, but the electronics can only get cheaper.

I used to use Lua a bit for scripting, so I was thinking about that as a scripting language for golang too.

After some discussion with a friend, we decide that a golang interpreter would be the best solution though. It could allow you to use channels to communicate between the interpreted and compiled sides of the app. Spawning goroutines on either side would also be handy.

However, that was yet one more project on my list of side projects that I haven't gotten to... So it is nice to see some interest in this idea.

ELENA is a general-purpose, object-oriented, polymorphic language with late binding. It features message dispatching / manipulation, dynamic object mutation, a script engine / interpreter and group object support.

The main way to interact with objects in ELENA is sending a message. The message name is structured and consists of a verb, a signature and a parameter counter. The verb defines a message action, for example read or write some data. There are only limited set of possible verbs. The signature is user defined and describes the message parameters. If the signature is not provided the message is considered to be generic and can be qualified (by dispatching).

If the object wants to handle the message it has to contain the method with the same name. If no method mapping was found the flow is considered to be broken and the control goes to the next alternative flow (exception handler) or the program is stopped. It is possible to declare generic handler which will be called for all incoming messages.

A class encapsulates data (fields) with code (methods) to access it. It is not possible to get a direct access to the class content.

To work with the class we have to create its instance with the help of the special methods - constructors.

There are special type of classes which do not have fields and constructors and can be used directly (extensions / symbols).

Classes form the inheritance tree. There is the common super class - system'Object. ELENA does not support multiple inheritance, though it is possible to inherit the code using redirect handler (so called "horizontal inheritance"). When the parent is not provided the class inherits directly system'Object.

In fairness though, whilst people's needs when visiting a company homepage vary, they're almost never "admire almost-full-screen header image, read bullet points beneath 3 icons selected more for layout purposes than because they convey the most useful information" which is what the design trend discussed in the article optimises for.

A side effect of the current design trend is that navigating to a specific piece of information, or seeing what's changed usually takes another click or a lot more scrolling precisely because the actual products and support contacts are relegated to a lower priority than the full screen "We make software (and have good taste in stock photos)" message.

Testing is great, but tends to involve small local modifications. It'll get you a site that looks the same in a different way, but won't help if you want something a bit different.

Even if people did run tests on significant redesigns, I suspect results would be dominated by methodological issues and a lack of power, leading to little more than noise.
