>But that's not my experience with C++; only using a subset makes you vulnerable to all the problems associated with not understanding the actual language that is implemented, not just the subset you wanted it to be.

The real problem is your simple subset is often built with the very difficult features your attempting to avoid using. So by running from complexity you just embrace it, but don't learn that you're actually working with virtual templated necromancy until 2-3 months later when you try to extent the production code base.
Interesting, since here in EU the VAG group cars (Seat, Škoda, VW, Audi) are widely perceived as the most reliable and there's a huge amount of people buying nothing else.

>Am I the only one thinks that the user's experience should be more important than everything else?

No. I value UX over almost everything, but you have to realize that your values don't exist in a vacuum. Without something to keep the lights on and the AC blowing air on the servers, UX is pointless and doesn't amount to anything.

I'm using deepstream.io for a project and it works well so far. It has some extra features like distribuited RPC calls, realtime search provider and transforming outgoing data.
I think it's extremely simple that someone he had a business relationship with put pressure on him in private and he caved. This is a far more common occurrence than people acting against their own financial best interest in the name of a vague morality. Especially when that morality is almost directly opposed to something they _just did publicly_ several days ago.
Do you know how karma and voting system work? I mean algorithms?
True, but if I have a bouquet of carnations and call it a dozen roses, that doesn't make it so.

A law degree is an almost entirely coursework based degree with no dissertation. Attrition rates at elite law schools are vanishingly low (like, less than a half of a percent, whereas PhDs are as high as 50%, 100 times higher). Undergraduate majors prior to law school tend to be the easier ones.

They're smart and hard working students, but no, I wouldn't consider a law degree to be a "doctoral" level accomplishment by any external standard. Personally, I think that simply majoring in CS or other rigorous undergraduate majors represents a greater academic accomplishment than Poly Sci or Lit + Law School.

Think of it this way - to me, a law degree is like running for 70 minutes at an 8 minute mile pace. Not bad, you're certainly fit. Majoring in CS at a tough program is like running a 6 minute mile for 40 minutes. You aren't running as long, or even as far, but the athletic challenge is greater.

I can't figure it out but I'm positive that 12 year old me would have lost from this position.

EDIT: actually it isn't that hard! I really could cock it up from that position.

Nice work, but but isn't this way of breaking down sentence structure already a standard thing? I get the impression that the writer didn't find much on this in the AI literature, but reinvented a wheel that has been long-established in linguistics departments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_diagram

I don't mean that in a dismissive way - even if it was a reinvention of the wheel it's still an elegant and useful one. It would be interesting to work up to larger chunks of text, and also to encapsulate ambiuities in some way, such that if presented with a sentence that admits of two meanings the program could honestly say 'I don't know, tell me more.'
>the emissions guidelines were being gamed by manufacturers

Not necessarily gamed - the measuring just needs to factor it in. e.g. (Rather anecdotal) I know there are cars programmed to capture emissions in a filter & then automatically clear that when the car reaches high speeds (freeway). Makes sense in a way...you'd rather have the car expelling the crap on the freeway than city center. That mechanism is apparently a big problem here - I live in a place where the cars never reach freeway speed so they keep clogging (so I'm told).

Some models of the Yamaha R1 have an intentional flat spot in their fuel maps which happens to be right at the spot where testing happens, too.

In a similar vein, the Aprilia RSV4 kind of cheats at noise testing: in neutral, there is a baffle which flips down to dampen the exhaust note a bit. :)
Sadly, you're correct. The protections that were on the Xbox 360 and in Apple phones started out as academic explorations in secure hardware. Many of these have direct application to DRM. Microsoft is heavily invested in them. It can still be done with user in control but device and OS manufacturers have opposite incentives.

This was true for much of the 2000s, but the new platform used from ~2009 onwards (the one implicated here) has been perfectly fine. The 2009-2016 Golfs get consistent Very Good/Good reliability ratings from Consumer Reports.

They're still not Honda, but they're now better than average.
The way online monetization currently works is extremely inefficient for pretty much everyone involved, and it will change. I recently worked in the ad tech industry and I know this first hand: publishers have been feeling the heat of dropping ad prices, advertisers have been seeing terrible ROIs, and consumers have been getting fed up with a poor online experience.

No one is going to stop changes from happening - market effects are in play here. But change always comes with pain for some, and not everyone wants to directly be involved with that pain.
Am I the only one thinks that the user's experience should be more important than everything else?

No but you didn't compensate the content creator with anything to demand a superb UX. When you pay them or exchange anything of value in return of the content you consume unless they're giving it explicitly for free, you could then argue that web advertising is degrading the UX.
> "You're sticking it to the little guy."

And I'll keep doing it so long the little guy thinks being the little guy entitles them to dick their users around.

Yeah, there's nuance to the debate around ad blocking, but this argument is just silly. If a mom and pop diner refused to follow basic hygiene procedures we'd shut them down, just as we would a huge restaurant chain for doing the same.

If small businesses are spreading malware by using ad networks that are regularly compromised, it's on them. If small businesses are feeding their user's private data (often via exploits) to extensive ad networks, it's on them.

Being small doesn't exempt you from being a good citizen on the internet.

Of course, the reality isn't that small businesses and publishers are somehow evil and cackling maniacally as they feed their user's private information to huge ad networks. The reality is that they needed revenue, they chose an ad vendor, and they followed some guide on throwing some JS into the page so the ads get loaded. The real shithead behavior is on the part of these adtech companies.

But ultimately the misbehavior of adtech and ad networks is still held against the websites who choose to integrate them, and rightly so. This increases every single time an ad network is compromised to distribute malware, or is actively user-hostile, but the publisher chooses not to switch networks.
But what you're supposing is that there is _no way_ for people to profit off of their content except to bother me with invasive advertising. I simply can't accept this: the history of our industry and capitalism as a whole is a case study in how clever people are at monetization.

The backlash in this thread is mindboggling. The author's "attitude" seems pretty appropriate for someone who was very recently betrayed by a team member. I understand if you don't like the "nerds vs jocks" imagery but frankly that's not arrogance, it's colorful storytelling.
Sorry about that. In future I'll be more careful to write The Netherlands.
I think one of the problems is that for any project that is moderately complex you really need (or at least would greatly benefit from it) to master the language + companion library Boost.

I did two relatively big projects (years apart), with the last one using Qt (because I also needed to do a GUI), and despite it working and doing what was supposed to, I wasn't entirely happy with the quality of the code.

I remember one good argument she made, a reductionist one that if the firmware on your Ethernet adapter can be hacked without recourse or relief from the OS (she gave a specific example), reducing the Xen part of TCB was not too relevant.

It's worth noting that the seL4 people haven't tried to formally verify it on x86 (and there's no 64 bit port to date that I know of, outside of possibly the lowRISC GSoC effort which I should check up on), only ARMv6 and v7 (which, I'll grant, also has to do with academic efforts to verify ARM in general). If you're that serious, seL4 serious, there's a good argument you should eschew Intel and start with some of the less chaotic ARM systems (i.e. not so much kitchen sink ones from the mobile world like the Broadcom chips the Raspberry Pies use).

I take her as trying something rather different, the pragmatic approach of getting the best security possible out of our existing infrastructure, hence the use of x86, Xen, Fedora, etc., based in part on her experience when figuratively putting on a black hat. She's discovered a lot of exploits, hasn't she? (lowRISC also includes an effort with tags to make our existing C/C++ infrastructure safer).

Governments do this on a massive scale with lotteries. I agree it's very dodgy ethically.
> I probably won't get you to change your mind, just know you aren't sticking it to the man. You're sticking it to the little guy.

And that is the exact reason I noted there needs to be an alternative to "my site is ONLY supported by ads". Right now all of this is predicated on that assumption.

I challenge that as being necessary, which is why I also noted the google effort which while great for google ads, does nothing for other ad networks.

Hopefully that clarifies things as apparently you think I'm against supporting businesses despite my efforts in making that abundantly clear that I am not trying to deprive people of money for their content. I'm unable to right now provide support outside of viewing ads, and that isn't just my problem, its the content providers as well.

Taking the easy way out and saying I am the issue with not wanting to view ads and not that all of the parties involved is not very convincing. I do not buy into it being a moral view, nor ethical for that matter.
Weight is way more variable than that. Every one of these scenarios affects your weight: Spend some coins at a slow machine? Holding coins compared to putting them on the machine? Holding a drink? Eating or drinking something? Holding a purse? Leaning on something? Talking animatedly?

It's easy to weigh a few pounds differently between waking up and going to sleep. Much of that is lost through breathing.
I don't want to infer motives because I don't know. I will say that I am among those who doesn't really believe this is simply a morality tale. There are several folks here, like yourself, who are basically saying, "yeah, I can understand the mentality of not wanting to do and ad-blocker because of the moral grey area" I can understand that as well.

What I can't understand is the quite sudden change of heart 2 days after launching the product. I don't think people here are questioning whether developers are willing to forego their own financial gain for their moral ease (the very existence of the FSF makes it clear that there is a willingness). It's simply a very sudden turn for someone who previously demonstrated no such compunction.

Very interesting result, and it feels like this could be more important than it might seem at first glance. If this result could be further generalized for sampling any continuously integrable function, it could have interesting implications for Maxwell's Demon.
Huh? The solution doesn't require you to "IGNORE EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT CHESS RULES". I can't speak for all casual players but this is a rule that seems technically possible but just never executed because it's hard to conceive a situation in which it would ever be used in practice. For those of us who don't know this specific rule, there's no excuse for us not thinking-outside-of-the-box...and learning of the "solution" is enjoyable.

Life is full of rules in which the exception was never addressed or outlawed because the exception was never even considered. [Insert Kobayashi Maru trope here]
You right. For instance, before huge drop in value of Ruble, people rushed to buy all kinds of goods (Big TV's, Apple products, Cars) to capture value of currency. It can be argued that sudden increase in purchases can signal anticipation of economic downturn.

What argument are you making? The person you are arguing against is saying that Marco didn't fully realize what he was getting into, quickly did realize it, felt uncomfortable, then got out. If your argument is that Marco should have realized what he was getting into, then you're not disagreeing with anyone, including Marco.

I would agree that those are a little weird.

So, because one particular style of "scientific" building/housing management failed, your implication is that all others are doomed to repeat the same fate? IMO there's a pretty big difference between your "example" and what the posted article is attempting to do.

> Pulling an app two days after a long period of development without really thinking through seemed odd to me. But that's his choice.

Right, absolutely it's his choice. I wouldn't even go as far as saying I'll never buy a product from him again, just that I wouldn't on day one. It's not that I necessarily disagree with what he's saying (I'm glad the conversation is being had), I'm just surprised he didn't anticipate this reaction.

On a broader note, if he is concerned about the ethics of ad blocking, perhaps it would've been better to maintain control of one of the most popular ad blockers? Then he would at least have been able to influence the outcome, e.g. encourage his users to adopt whitelists or similar.
thanks for the clarification - the part about not having to file any papers is something I didn't understand at all.

So in this example of startup weekend, whoever writes a piece of code owns it, whoever writes website copy owns it and so on and so forth to the extent that the startup weekend ip policy doesn't setup something different for participants.

Yes, bad things aren't always possible to avoid. That's just the nature of human existence. But you shouldn't go out of your way to create problems for yourself.

Some deadlines are unavoidable, but you shouldn't create artificial deadlines and you definitely shouldn't create an artificial deadline for every single micro-task that someone is working on.
Thank you for sharing, i found this a very inspiring read. It really resonated with me! I have nothing intelligent to add to the conversation, though.
Two other caveats:

Don't book a round-trip ticket like this, only one-way. The airline will usually cancel the return ticket if you skip part of the outgoing one.

Don't book on an airline where you have frequent-flyer miles you want to keep. In the past few years they're cracking down more by cancelling the accounts of people who use booking tricks that violate their policy.
There is an intersection between F2P and AAA, you know. TF2, StarCraft II, LoL. Most online-only competitive games. Even Nintendo's Splatoon is sort of here, despite costing $60. They all mine metrics; wouldn't you, if people's gameplay was going through your servers?

And that's ignoring MMOs. I don't think anyone can say WoW isn't "AAA".

Except, it's in a temperature regime so alien to us that your assumptions on seeing those 'rocks and ice' are very wrong. The 'rocks' are water ice. The 'ice' is frozen nitrogen. Nobody thought Pluto would have a dynamic weather system - a climate. And yet it seems to have a glacial nitrogen precipitation cycle. The geological forms look familiar. The mechanisms are not. That's pretty incredible.

You seem to be confusing "Agile" with "Scrum" and "Management" (which is an amorphous group) with "the Product Owner" (who is expressly a specific individual.) With those replacements, the described divisions of responsibility are accurate descriptions of the rules laid out in The Scrum Guide™.

But an Agile organization may or may find the practices in the The Scrum Guide™ suitable; confusion of Agile (which favors free adaptability to the conditions and what works for the actual team involved, with selection and modification of processes and tools around that) with Scrum (which is a very specifically-defined canned methodology with defined organizational roles, even if it has specific designed-in limited areas of adaptability) is itself a symptom of at least incipient cargo-cult Agile of the type to which the article attributes the failure of "Agile".
That's the difference between a short-term collateralized loan and an open-ended unsecured loan.
Some people "don't know what they think until they run it through their mouths." Some test reality by trying a thing, seeing how it feels, deciding what to do once they know how it feels.

The kicking kittens analogy is bad -- we all know we aren't going to like kicking kittens. As I said, I briefly worked on something similar to adblocking. I didn't know it was going to make me miserable until I did it (for maybe 2 months, maybe less).
>If the site had an "opt-in to ads" modal (which set a cookie or something,) would you ever accept?

No. Maybe I'm jaded from years and years of terrible, manipulative advertising on all forms of media, but no.

But that's no reason to require "opt-out".

Not really, because now all those who bought "Peace" in good faith feel bad. We trusted this guy to deliver a good product and then it disappears under us. Grrrrr..
> If the rules for the weekend are the "team decides" you can't just go claiming ownership of stuff you did for the team.

That's a nice opinion. But as you say, it's a "rule". It's not the law.

And the law disagrees with you. If 5 people write code with no legal framework in place (such as a written contract), they each own their individual contributions.
