> Do not hesitate to make it clear that that's not the place for such behaviour

Perhaps the point (of the cowboy image, perhaps with regards to self reliance) is that you can tell them that you decide, since you started the project and are still its leader, and that since you think the contribution is screwed up, you won't merge it. This explanation does not contain anything about the contributor's behaviour. Well I guess I don't know about what that part of your example entailed :)

Anyway, thanks for the comment!

When people complain about GitLab I always try to give a positive response, thanking them for their feedback and trying to address their point. People complain because they care about you getting better. As the project matured the expectations are higher so there are more complains. Which means I say sorry a lot more. But as the project matures people are also no longer expecting the CEO to care and say sorry anymore. So when I respond to a complaint the tone of the poster frequently changes. Some of these initial complainers have turned into fans and contributors of the project.

Your code is not you and neither is your project. As maintainer you are not responsible for fixing all bugs (we at GitLab Inc. are, but that is another story). If people care to complain it is OK to ask them to contributing a fix or showing the advantages of a different approach.

In theory, an advanced prefetcher can detect that you are stepping through an array of pointers, dereferencing each of them, and start prefecting.

Even that would have its problems, though. Typically, every one of these dereferences brings in a new cache line. Unless the data that the pointers point to fills an integral number of cache lines, you are bringing data into the cache that you will not need.

Does anyone have any recommendations for programs that pop-quiz you periodically until you retain what you've learned?

I've been using vim for a decade and I'm trying to switch to emacs. Retaining muscle memory is only possible if I keep using the bindings I learn. Remembering all of them is difficult, and using a subset will lead to suboptimal results.

Some kind of app that quizzes me seemed like a good path to learning emacs, since after 100 hours I would end up much more effective. Then I realized maybe an app like that might be helpful for anyone investing 100 hours into a variety of things.

I use Dropbox to sync my ~/Sites folder in OS X, between my three macs. It works.... Except when it can't figure out a conflict and creates CONFLICTED copies of git object, refs, head files. Quickly turns into a nightmare.

CONFLICTED copies in Dropbox drives me absolutely nuts, and should not happen since I never edit the files concurrently.
I was drive crazy by Gimp this morning because of this. The move tool has a mode: move layers/guides, move the selection or move a path. Sometimes, somehow the mode flips to "selection" and stays there, leaving the user unable to pick and move a guide line (even if the user clicks on the ruler first, which is usually the trick to get into a mode where you can pick a guide line). Just figuring out why it stopped working had me baffled; at one point I "fixed" it by quitting and restarting Gimp thinking it was a bug. Then I found the answer online. Grrr! Though I know what to do, it's still annoying to have to bring up the tool options dialog on the move tool whenever I can't move a guide.

> GP was likely someone who could have passed the HS to University bar without having to go the CC route to increase his or her odds.

That's true. I was accepted to Berkeley, among other top schools, straight out of high school. I chose to go to community college. The point being: going to a CC did not negatively impact my personal outcome, and should not be discouraged as an option when it can benefit a driven student.
This is one reason why I thought the C and C++ Builder products by Borland were quite strong. The 'properties' and the interaction with the forms were arranged such that the programming environment, the debugger and the application were as close to each other as possible.

The only other environment that manages to achieve this (and better) is smalltalk.

> What bothers me about Dropbox is that many of the complaints I had 7 years ago are still there...

People have been complaining about the AppData binary thing and the roaming profiles issue since Dropbox launched.

I thought that FINALLY, after they had launched Dropbox for Business, it would come with an announcement that they had fixed Dropbox on roaming profiles and started storing the binary properly.

Nope. Just a branding initiative. I managed to screw around with it enough to get it working on my profile, but I've been unable to repeat that success, even with admin access. So, so annoying. iTunes works better in a corporate environment than Dropbox does.
We have our collective chains jerked all the time over some random lunatic shooting a few people for some random lunatic reason if it happens to fit some political narrative. My facebook feed gets absolutely flooded by this stuff on a regular basis. Until people wake up and learn that they are just being thrown around emotionally like a dog being tempted with a snack, they are going to have an easy time influencing the public to do whatever they want.

For some reason, I am regularly downvoted when I make comments like this. The key thing is that people don't think about how something in the media affects them directly. It's like shark attacks. The risks are negligible, yet they captivate the imagination. The mental images and pictures that they are exposed to on a regular basis by the media, both news and fictional tv shows and movies, are specifically chosen to get a response out of them, like a bully getting a rise out of taunting his victim. People don't think they can be manipulated, because they don't like to think they are that stupid, yet it ridiculously common.

I disagree. You're painting modern computing as either hard number crunching or the most basic of browsing. Modern phones can barely handle WebGL, are abysmal at multitasking, and definitely aren't able to handle editing source code of the magnitude that I deal with daily at work. Then there's gaming, video editing, large scale image editing (read: Photoshop/Sketch), and many more. There are use cases for the in-between, and I'd argue they're a larger market segment than the two tails combined.
> We call that quid pro quo, and yes, it's intentional. If Islam itself is responsible for the actions of a minority of a minority, then it stands to reason that Christianity itself is responsible for the actions of a minority of a minority. So long as conservatives blame Islam in general for ISIS, we will blame Christianity in general for Westboro Baptist, for Clinic Terrorists, for Jehovah Witness child negligence murder, etc.

You are mimicking the rhetoric of the worst, most extreme segment of your opposition, which brings you (and this conversation) down to their level.

> I think Google is faster at file sync than Dropbox.

Speed of sync isn't much of a concern to me personally, I don't use Dropbox for big files. Reliability of sync is key for me, and for that I have never had an issue. Everything is everywhere, without exception. No conflicts or corruptions, period.

> Most of us are complaining about services we use for free.

I'll complain about a browser too. "Free" isn't an excuse to offer a crappy product. You're still making money off your userbase somehow.

It's also worth noting that the problems that exist with Dropbox, permiate all tiers. I'll use it, but I'd never pay for a service with so many issues unless I had a very good specific reason. For example, iCloud Sync is way worse but I'll pay for the privilege of being able to dump my iPhone photos online automatically.

I've been bitten by this problem too. What's extra obnoxious about it is that the client used to work just fine -- but a couple years ago it started randomly hogging an entire CPU core for seemingly no reason at all.

I still use it, but Dropbox's refusal to do anything about this problem (or even acknowledge that it exists!) is mostly what's prevented me from taking the leap to a paid account.

It's too bad, because Dropbox's speed, simplicity and (at the time) minimal performance hit was what I originally liked about it compared to other sync solutions. Now it's missing all three.

HN readers in particular should consider how technology has affected an important part of J. Edgar Hoover's political extortion: COINTELPRO[1].

Technology has made it a lot easier to discredit and disrupt political activists. An obvious example of how to map relationships to find potential organizers that might bring together a larger political movement is the NSA programs COTRAVELER[2], but the methods are not that different from "targeted advertising" or any Facebook-style social network.

Occupy terrified a lot of people in power specifically because it didn't have an obvious minimum spanning tree to target.

We even have documents from Snowden about GCHQ's version[3]. JTRIG even has a wide assortment of tools[4] available for disrupting and discrediting their targets. Their tool for "amplification of a given message, normally video, on popular multimedia websites (Youtube)" doesn't seem particularly useful for national defense or catching terrorists - they have other tools for feeding a specific target false information. On the other hand, amplifying the popularity of a video would be very useful for propaganda.

Obviously very little of this is proof. It was already frightening what J. Edgar Hoover was able to do decades ago. How would the same thing be done with the benefit of modern technology? Would you even notice it?[5]

A even better question might be: given how eagerly the advertising industry used tracking technology and data mining, would you consider it likely that a government agency with little restraint or oversight would refrain from doing the same thing?

> At the very least that data does not really fit the theory.

What theory? It certainly fits a theory: that insecurity (and, thus, plenty of downward mobility), limited upward mobility, and a steep drop to the bottom combine to provide a condition in which members of the middle class become more prone to reject the existing social order and adopt extreme alternatives that are offered.
I honestly don't know what you mean by saying mobile phones are abysmal at multitasking (multi threading? Multiple processes? Drawing Multiple UIs?). Mine doesn't seem to have a problem with multi threading or multiple processes and the only reason I don't use it more is because the UI is horrible and I can't replace it.
Also if your source files are long enough to slow your editor down you should probably start factoring stuff out (long files are hard to read), but I've never heard of or seen that actually happening IRL.

If you're going to walk this tricky line of trying to cool hysteria about a hysterical situation, you still need to make it clear that you're oriented against the offensive parties. Something about your holding action serving to protect those that shouldn't be protected.

It sounds like you are trying to give honest, pragmatic advice, in which case your downvotes are unfair. However, usually when people give that particular advice what they're really saying is that the bad behavior from other people is OK and that the person who feels bad because of it just needs to lighten up.

It's sort of like when someone says, "99% of humanity is too sensitive!" The ONLY people who say that are people who go around pissing off other people on a regular basis and it never occurs to them that the problem might be with their own social skills and not 99% of humanity.

So, when someone's response to someone else getting upset over jerks on the Internet is "you should get thicker skin", it's easy to jump to the conclusion that it's coming from a troll rather than someone honestly trying to help a fellow adult. Based on this comment it sounds like you meant it in good faith and were just trying to help the OP out.
