Maybe it's possible to compare the total number of the victims of the terrorist attacks of non-religious terrorists and Islamic terrorists, and also the number of civilian victims in war operations of one and another. I have the impression that the numbers differ in many, many magnitudes against the religious ones and that wouldn't support the relativism presented. But maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe we miss the proper word, the closest would be "totalitarianism" -- any kind of the ideology with the "final solution" and the desire to "rule over everything."

It sounds like you've had a lot of bad experiences with conferences let you down by not focusing on the technical discussion. I'm really sorry you've had to go through that so often. In thinking about your predicament, it seems like there's an opportunity here for the organizers to put together an online forum before the conference so that people can put in for being put into groups and sessions where people have specific things that they want to talk about. It seems like both you and the other poster you were discussing this with were equally bothered by the other's preferred activities of conferences. I think if you could arrange discussions ahead of the conferences, you'd enjoy your time a lot more.
I work in an office. The rest of my team works across the other side of the country (nothing but 2000km of desert between us), and it is far more isolated here at the office than working from home.

Working from home I at least have the opportunity to customise my environment to my taste instead of the bland white-and-cigarette-stain-brown of the current interior decorating of the office.

Working alone in an office is really really hard.

I think obviously it depends a lot on your living situation, your personality, and the composition of your team. For me, working remotely was awesome, but there were significant challenges. I had to dedicate a room to being an office and treat it accordingly, I had to get dressed to at least a base level (no sweats!), and I had to be reasonably diligent about my working hours.

But for me it worked great. I think one of the things that make remote work a lot harder are when most of the team is in one place, and you are in the other. In those situations, I find that remote workers are often the "odd man out", since it's easy for everyone else to get together in a conference room to talk something out without the remote worker.

Another issue is timezones - it's one thing if you're an hour off from everyone, that's manageable. Much harder if you're spread across multiple timezones, or a long distance from everyone. Even NY->california can be challenging. I manage a team in Europe and the timezone challenges are downright exhausting.
You have a point. If someone does not enjoy remote work, then they should not get a remote job.

I'm not a very good country music singer. When I sing country music, I feel shame, discomfort, and general depression. Therefore, I don't sing country music.
Pluralistic society could still work with vehemently pluralistic majority of conservatives. Who are not afraid to defend their own rights, even when they seem insignificant.

I really never thought I'd say that. I guess I'm getting old. "A man who is not a Liberal at sixteen has no heart; a man who is not a Conservative at sixty has no head."

> No one can come to my desk to socialize

Yeah who would want that? I've done both and both have their pros and cons, socializing is definitely a perk and introvert or extrovert should not be underestimated in keeping you healthy and happy and a skilled professional.
Of course there are trade offs, and it works for some people, but not others. This is why if you intend to build a remote team, you hire people who can thrive in a distributed organization. You also provide the tools to make it work.

I've been working for a 100% remote company for 3 years now. It was an adjustment. But everyone who was here before me gave me advice to do well in this environment. And everyone who was hired after me got the same support and guidance. We also all get together on occasion, and when we do, we brainstorm how to do things better.

I doubt you can get any significant improvement that way, but unless I am miscounting

Save file and Exit=Ctrl-K X Exit Without Saving=Ctrl-C Help=Ctrl-K H

fits in that space. I doubt it will help much because people will have forgotten the key combinations seconds after typing the first character, and even if they do remember them, they will not become as engrained as the keystrokes they know work in other programs.

I am pessimistic because I see three problems with Control-K X for 'normal' users:

- they aren't used to the tiny mode that Control-X introduces (it wouldn't even surprise me if interviewing a few 'normal users' would show that they do not know what "Ctrl-K X" means)

- most other applications separate the 'save' command from the 'exit' command (web and phone apps are exceptions, but they don't use explicit save at all)

- it's not control-S (unfair? Maybe, but I would call it realistic)

I doubt reminding them "hey, this program is different" at startup will help much for that.

Uber is trying to change the rules that you have to have a license to be able to drive taxi. Thats the part you are missing here. Its not about the technology its about the legislation.

They dont just expand slower they get bought by american companies not the other way around that is part of the problem which is what this whole discussion is about.

There is nothing to back up your claim that they are more resistant to a down market. How many European social networks are left? How many European transportation companies are in the US? The list is long of american companies dominating the markets in the EU not the other way around.

That is the core of this discussion no matter your obvious ideological reasoning.
Another Stupid Deployment (ASD)... just suggesting a corresponding name to work with.
Margaret Howe lived with a dolphin for ten weeks in the 1960s
I really wonder if this guy has ever been living outside the US ( either in a muslim country, or in a few european countries) to make so many wrong assertions about the root cause of the whole affair. Actually i'm even surprised he's working in any field related to logic, because his whole evaluation of french attacks having anything to do with what french do or did falls on the ground as soon as you notice that they've been occuring in every single part of the world ( every country in every continent with any religion) for the last 20 years.

It is simply an ideology looking to conquer the world, which adjusts its speech to accomodate with its target. Nothing more unusual than that.
It was a partial motivation. Many have stars in their eyes seeing C as best-designed system language to the point that modifications aren't considered for bare-metal. One motivation is countering that with cold-hard truth about its alleged design and real history. Other people already see its issues but might want to learn more or enjoy the full context. This re-enforces the move away from such features where possible along with providing evidence to deliver in future conversations supporting that. Either benefit is a fine result to me.

"What astonishes me is how something which seems a crude plagiarism became the mainstream of low-level and fast for so long. Even UNIX ..."

Richard Gabriel explained that well in his Worse is Better essays. Hence why you see me mention it a lot. Has much to do with ease of participation, economics, and group dynamics. Things like C, UNIX, and early OSS made it easy to get started to gain a critical momentum. Past that, it's basically all momentum and its effects. One usually can't counter momentum so much as create an alternate momentum or divert flows off the existing momentum. Hence, co-development of radical approaches like SAFE or JX OS's plus legacy-supporting approaches like Nizza Security Architecture or Cambridge CHERI processor & CHERIBSD. Yet, the full momentum of UNIX and C remain as more gets piled onto them despite the cost.

Note: Ignore his emotional rants tied to specific tech to focus on the effects of the New Jersey approach on market take-up. Truthfully, I think he discovered the time-to-market effect of technology and a method of achieving it before it became a common thing people wrote about. Then again, I haven't studied the history of that enough to be sure.
One this is certain, it has gotten easier. In my case I can work remote and be entirely mobile. In the past that involved a drop of productivity at least 50%.

The disadvantages are the health problems that occur if a remote worker is sitting at home all day, physically and mentally. These can take years to begin manifesting themselves and are really bad if the remote worker can't self identify them.

I've been working remotely for a while now, and i would say in terms of productivity it has been excellent.

No commuting which means time can be spent on reading up materials, doing actual work, or going to the gym.

Meals is also an important matter. Working remotely, I feel I have more control on what I eat. Typically i tend to pick up food at a cafe/restaurant, which depending on my pick diminishes my productivity. Working at home means having access to full fledge kitchen like stove, oven; I could do weekly/daily groceries to prepare healthy food like salad, yoghurt, etc.

There are still some setbacks though when it comes to communicating and working in a team. We tried to solve that with Slack and project management tools (ie. Basecamp, Asana); it works for most projects, while some I supposed we are still looking for the right way to get everyone on the same page mainly because there are a few stakeholders involved.

I always thought the name of git/github was mildly offensive to me... but never really enough to speak out about. Though I think that ASD mentioned above (I added "Another Stupid Deployment") isn't a bad name.
You answered your own question. An introvert would not want that. You can force your standards of what makes someone a "happy and skilled professional" on them if you like, but that's not always a case grounded in reality.
> That in a reasonably democratic society, the majority makes way for the minority? Otherwise it's not a democratic society, it's apartheid.

Would not an unregulated democratic society not care to cater to the wishes of a minority? In a raw democracy if the majority did not observe Kosher or Halal, that nation would not see an issue with making it illegal. That a minority did follow it would not matter, the majority had ruled.

Individual and minority rights are protected in the US is because there are laws in place to restrict the simply majority rule to prevent the above from occurring. Those controls were put in place having recognized the limitations of majority rule in antiquity, it is not a property of a democratic society.

Apartheid was racial segregation in South Africa and doesn't appear to apply here.
I don't use chrome!

I jog during the time I normally would be commuting, on nice days I work with the windows open, at the office I have a certain level of anxiety - just thanks to the traffic around me. I'm with you on this, working from home is awesome. It suits my personality.
If you get your work done more efficiently, you actually have more time to socialize, with the people of your choosing.

Also, socializing in the workplace tends to be very superficial, because you're extremely limited in the range of topics you can discuss. God forbid that you say something unprofessional.
One would argue that they understand it well, and default to calculating the consecutive maximum penalty or concurrent minimum allowable by law to suit the sensationalism they constantly add to every headline and article to sell because when the news is run like a business, you will get the news that sells the most, and never hear about the important things that don't attract consumers' attention. Unless it suits the need of the propaganda machine, but that's another discussion altogether.
Agreed with all of the above. I'm even surprised that more of the "hardcore devs" didn't get annoyed by WordPress crossing the 25% web market share a week ago. I can see how more and more large businesses turn to WordPress to cut license costs, decrease salaries, reduce development time and invest more in marketing/advertisement instead.

That comment is also for everyone who mentioned that the post reflects only to the state of a single business instead of an entire community, ecosystem and the business of web development as a whole.
It'll never happen. The cost of buying something can't go below the attentional cost of deciding whether to buy it.
The Sikh Regiment of the (British) Indian Army was amazing (and probably should be re-established in the British Army, in addition to the units in the modern Indian Army,) One of the most formidable and honorable military units of all time, completely loyal to the Allies.

The "complication" with India was the (Second) Indian National Army during WW2, following Subhas Chandra Bose, who were allied with the Axis. (They argued fighting colonialism was more important than fighting the Nazis and Imperial Japanese.)
I've been working remotely for the last 7 months, and I find it awesome! The biggest downside for me is less socialization with coworkers. But what helps a lot, is that my team meets one week each quarter, which helps build/maintain good rapport in the team.
You NEED to learn about keyboard macros. And C-/ (which is undo).

Actually, it helps to be around other emacs users. I've seen people do something magic and I stop them so I can learn the trick. Usually they have to do it again before they can explain it because most emacs users have everything "in their fingers". Musicians are the same.

I would credit emacs with 50% of my productivity. Learn it well. It pays huge rewards.
Love remote work. With so many companies online now it should be a lot easier to get jobs like this.

Save money by not commuting daily. No suit dry cleaning each week. Eat tasty home made food and leftovers. Way way way way wayyyyy less stress than dressing up looking brighteyed and having to sit at a desk all day so your slave owners can stare at you not working for 8 hours plus two 15 minute breaks plus 30 minutes "lunch"
The most eloquent explanation of the problem of incentives this creates I've seen is that it dosen't incentivise your isp to provide the fastest, best service. Instead in a world where this is an accepted practice, in incentivises your ISP to provide awful, inadequate service to everyone that isn't paying them for special treatment.

Eg, they will keep data caps tiny, because its better for them if every service with a lot of data usage comes to them to pay for a bypass. This is categorically massively punishing to smaller players without money and connections.

In a nation where most people are served by what is effectively a non-competeing cartel of companies, allowing strong anti-user incentives to exist is a very bad idea, because they wont just be out-competed by a less exploitative company.

Perfect isn't being the enemy of good in this case, "good enough" is being the enemy of things meaningfully improving, ever.

Do we count the state actions against the rebels inside of their territory or the wars on their borders as terrorist attacks? I think some other name is typically given to those.
And writing custom code to duplicate a library doesn't have a cost? (compared to forking).

I find that using tools like npm, nuget, gems, and the like along with github for core libraries makes managing dependencies FAR better than relying on an internal copy of said package in my project, which is just as risky as an internal fork. Yes, there's a chance the package system can be down while you are wanting to deploy.. that's why you prepare on a staging server, and duplicate that to production. Hell with things like docker, you create your container, and run it with environment variables for which environment it's running against.
I agree that co-working can do as much as the online tools. Not to discount the importance of being able to effectively communicate with the people you are working with, however I have found that being around others who are getting their own thing done is inspiring and motivational.
Working remotely in a co-working space has given me the best of both worlds - I get the social aspects of being around others and the motivation of being around others working, but no one bother me about my work cause they are not involved.
Can someone give examples of how this app could/would be used? In what kind of situations, and what the benefit of using it would be.
Yes, the genocide of the Philippine-American War wasn't covered in the history classes in my high school curriculum. What is even more amazing is how many Filipinos were willing to fight on behalf of the Americans, only a generation after the U.S. slaughtered them.

And given what a terrible record the US has in neglecting veterans of all backgrounds, it isn't surprising that the brave men of the USAFFE were treated so poorly.

We should also remember that this was the era of the asinine anti-Asian immigration policies, another shameful topic only lightly covered in American history books. Effectively they were good enough to die for us, but not good enough for us to honor our promises to them.
Must See This Is Coming Straight from the Horses Mouth
I for one absolutely believe that Hacker News should be welcoming of viewpoints that _some would perceive as_ racist or misogynist.

For example, a perennial topic around here is a lack of diversity in the software industry. My personal opinion is that a) for a variety of reasons, men and women have had different levels of interest in developing software, and b) these differences in of themselves are not a cause for concern.

I'm well aware that some consider this view misogynist. But what is the point of discussing a topic such as diversity if only "approved" viewpoints are welcomed? That would turn Hacker News into an echo chamber.

A white person says, 'N-'s don't belong in this town; they should keep their mouths shut.' If you are the black person, that's a very intimidating situation. I'm not sure I support 'free speech' there.

It would be intimidating and rage-inducing, but its worth keeping in mind that the person who uttered the racist threat is still bound by law and physical violence is not free speech. And here we've found the line to make free-speech work: even-handed law-enforcement against physical violence, theft etc. Racist slurs on the other hand, while more cutting to people who have been marginalized, are just words designed to produce an emotional response. They fall under the category of speech.

The only speech I won't tolerate is intolerance itself.

Which is a form of intolerance.
As an introvert, I like a little bit of socialization throughout my day. Too much is certainly draining, but if I worked from home I would become a hermit and have an unhealthy amount of socialization.

I've been working remotely for the same client since late 2012, in general it's been ideal in a number of ways and the positives out-weigh the negatives.

I do miss the casual social side of having colleagues in an office from time to time, but I tend to be quite a social person. That, and maintaining delivery over a long period of time requires focus and discipline, no small effort.
I just wanted to say that I was reading the comments here and it hit me that this is the Internet I love. So often we talk about dialogue and having a conversation and I really believe the Internet is perfect for that because its hard to raise your voice on the Internet and silence someone else, but we rarely get it because—for example—Facebook isn't very threaded and you have your name attached and are only having a conversation with your "friends" so its insular. On the other side is Reddit where charged things like this just don't work well. However on HN people write thoughtful, dissenting, sourced, and well-written arguments and we have full discussions. It's fantastic. This is the Internet I love.
A rather interesting use case, and one that I haven't been forced to deal with just yet. On a rather cursory search, however, I came across Switchy: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switchy/

If you keep node in ~/bin/, you could symlink your global npm path to ~/bin/node_modules/ .. just a thought here.
I wouldn't work remotely even if you gave me 25% more salary to do it. My ideal work context would be a six hour day at an office in the city that I can walk to from my condo. Sit-stand desks, balance-ball chairs, decent coffee, but no catered lunch / dinner. I want to take coworkers or dates out. Preferably with a nearby park that I can take walks in.

Sit at home with a computer all day? Sounds too much like solitary confinement for my taste.
I am an introvert and occasionally miss the forced socialization of working in an office. After long periods of working from home, I'm usually ready for some office work.
