In 2005 I was just graduating from CMU. I remember when Facebook came to campus. They picked a large lecture hall to pitch their job openings. I want to say Facebook was way less than 100 employees at the time. In the lecture hall (which probably sat 100) there were about 20 people. I already had a nice full-time offer lined up - and remember thinking - why would I ever want to work for a company whose users "poke" other users. What value is there in that? #doh

Hi - I am eclipse che project lead and founder of codenvy.

A couple of things:
1. If you checkout che.
2. Go into assembly-sdk
3. mvn clean install

If you do this directory, you just download the binaries - will take only a couple minutes.

You will want to checkout 4.0 branch, which has all of the new capabilities and design into it. We have swagger APIs that you can access for all of the RESTful stuff. It should be at http://localhost:8080/im-api-docs-ui/. I am going to verify with the engineers and get back to you if the URL has changed for Che 4.
Of course, but what do you want to work on? A good idea or a great idea?

No, it is hosted on servers I own, or in a portable small repository (like Fossil, for example).

Microcomputers solved the problem of portable powerful processing, so I do not see why I would defer the processing elsewhere. It isn't a problem that needs solving.
Thunderbird has been my email client ever since I used unix as my day-to-day platform and it's a real pity that Mozilla stops maintenance but on the whole it doesn't need that much maintenance. It just works, I don't think I have a wishlist of features or any bugs that are so bad that they need fixing.

Just keep it as it is and I'm perfectly ok with it. If mozilla did the same with FireFox a and would focus on long term stability and bug fixing rather than grafting new parts onto it and re-writing old parts that are working just fine I'd be OK with that too. (The default seems to be that bugs are not fixed before the part of the code base that contains them is replaced by something new which in turn also contains bugs.)
Absolutely agree. For example, I used to be confused whether to build my product and look for funding or find customers, but over time I have realized, funding is a way to keep your run way extended while you can work on your idea and get customers. But this is something you cannot worry about when you are getting the idea shaped, building a v1 etc. Also you need that ultimate customer who is gonna use this in mind and the value it brings while building always whether you get funded or not. So funding in a way greases your execution and makes it smoother better but never can be thought of as the thing to go for at any point in your journey.
That's a strawman. Even the folks screaming at their residence hall master at Yale didn't assert an abstract "right not to be offended." Their beef was about an institution they pay money to not doing enough to police the conduct of other members of that institution.

What's equally baffling is Ivy-league frat boys thinking that "free speech" entitles them to engage in conduct that would get them summarily booted out in the real world.
The announcement from Mitchell Baker really is corporate drivel at its worst: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.governance/kAyVlhfEc...

This also seems like a shame. I'm not sure Thunderbird was ever a great product, but it was always a decent alternative to worse things, and I remember Enigmail being quite a good option as a relatively simple way of signing and encrypting emails.
> Then don't use it, right?

I don't. Though I would like to from time to time.
I honestly don't think he was being dismissive. I think he was acknowledging that the student's uncomfortable feelings were legitimate, even deliberately provoked, and offered a prescription for how to best handle them. This is (one) Christian message, and presumably one that the students at that school knowingly signed up for (well, their parents did, at any rate). I'm not a huge fan of self-blaming guilt, it tends to be just as self-indulgent as feeling violated by some sermon, but a sense of shame at one's shortcomings can be a useful guide for self growth and development. I am neither conservative nor a Christian but I find that I generally agree with his sentiment.
They want to kill XUL for Firefox so they can be all fancy HTML. So they have to kill Thunderbird, a XUL app.

In a few years the all new HTML Firefox will come out. My bet is that it will suck. It will lack a TON of features that the existing Firefox has, but hey, it's all HTML! And you won't be able to stick on the old one, because within a week or two some critical security flaw will be discovered and eventually (like six weeks later) they'll stop supporting those for old Firefox.

Initially the HTML Firefox will suck. When you take an app that's been worked on for 15 or so years and then replace it's UI you're going to lose a TON of features. They'll slowly reintroduce some of the most popular features (hamburger menu will be priority #1!) but there will be a TON that they will not reintroduce. Why? Because when they were first introduced a decade ago it was a cool idea someone had, and no one knew how popular it would be, so heck, why not implement it. But now they know that only 10 million or even 1 million people use that feature, and they're only interested in 100 million user features! If Google Chrome doesn't have it, it must not be important!

As much as people complain about XUL not looking native, wait for HTML Firefox, it will take them forever to get where XUL was years ago.

They can't just kill XUL for Firefox though, they have to burn down the XUL ecosystem first so they're just releasing a new Firefox, nothing to see here.

1. They try to kill xulrunner as a project separate from Firefox. They try to move everyone to firefox -app.

2. They stop releasing binaries for xulrunner.

3. They deprecate XUL extensions.

4. They distance themselves from Thunderbird. They say it's better for Thunderbird. Yeah right! Thunderbird is built on XUL, it's not going to be rewritten in HTML any time soon, definitely not by volunteers. It's not going to be able to maintain XUL either, and when Mozilla stops supporting XUL for Firefox a few years after deprecating XUL extensions then Thunderbird will be screwed, but hey, it's not our project! We abandoned it years ago!

So when the crappy HTML Firefox shows up, with way less features than the Firefox of today, remember that this (Thunderbird) was one of the things given up to have it.

But hey, donate to Mozilla! $5, $15, $25, anything helps. Because we already make hundreds of millions of dollars and we do whatever is shiny and new, screw the "community" of existing stuff. We're fighting for an open web! (where you can use Gmail for email)

Do you think that decent ideas, or good ideas, are easy?

And of course it still requires a lot of effort to execute well on good ideas.
You can bring a new product to an existing market. By not being worked on by anyone else I mean that nobody is creating the same product as you.
Most IDEs can thankfully be trimmed down to look like QtCreator.

I daily write in Xcode and that is very slimmed-down. In fact, Visual Studio developers typically hate it on first using it because there is only editors on the screen as opposed to property panes both sides of the editor!

And I would say that it is ONLY C++ is truly a benefit to QtCreator!! No use trying to be everything to everyone. Plus, C++ is the best language for everything isn't it? (I jest, I jest)

Outstanding article on many counts. It also reminds me of a recent article I read on Psychology Today [1] that talks about fragile students:

"Students are increasingly seeking help for, and apparently having emotional crises over, problems of everyday life. Recent examples mentioned included a student who felt traumatized because her roommate had called her a “bitch” and two students who had sought counseling because they had seen a mouse in their off-campus apartment. The latter two also called the police, who kindly arrived and set a mousetrap for them."

[1] - https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/freedom-learn/201509/de...
"Cultures are virtual realities based on language; boundary defining engines."

It's a profound insight which reminds me of the state our not yet over-trained brains must have during childhood "Why is that so mother/father?".

In regards hard work I have met far many more people who are incredibly hard workers and dedicated than I have people with truly good ideas.
Gravity is a lie and doesnt exist. The theory of relativity is well debunked at this point.
While I sympathize with your viewpoint, perhaps I can shed some clarity on the other side. The concern is not feelings getting hurt, but rather physical security as a person of minority status.

This is something that a white heterosexual middle-class male (such as myself) can probably never fully appreciate, but I try to sympathize.

Imagine what it is like to be black in a country where just a few generations back you carried at all times in mixed-race race situations the possibility of being assaulted without recourse or lynched, or in present times accused and convicted of a crime you didn't commit or shot on sight for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Imagine what it is like to be Jewish and have 85% of your relatives systematically wiped out in living memory.

Imagine what it is like to be a woman on a college campus where statistically 1 in 3 suffer sexual assault over the course of a 4 year education, almost always with the assailant getting off without charges.

Most times such people take offense it is not about feeling uncomfortable, but rather feeling unsafe. It is about fear that what starts with words will inevitably turn to, or enable, or justify actions.
I agree with this. You also have to realize that people attach a massive growth rate to FB - and this is partly what wall street prices in. There are 7bn people on this planet and at least 1/7th of them are "active" FB users. That's unparalleled. And that trend will continue. That is why you can't really apply relative comps/fundamentals to this company.

On a personal note, I have to admit spending a little more time on both FB and FB mobile recently. The experience has really improved tremendously: delivering interesting content, connecting me to the restaurant or bar I am currently sitting, composing my pictures by "Moment". The FB force is undeniable. Another anecdote I like to think about is video views for the same video between YouTube and FB. FB simply crushes it with the number of eyeballs....
I believe it's because this people haven't actually experienced the "real world". They might try to persuade some people in following some political correctness or whatever, but the world itself wont care.
SARCASM ALERT WOOP WOOP
Hi: I am the eclipse che project lead & founder of codenvy.

If you are playing with it - try out 4.0 branch, it has the new designs & architecture which makes it near localhost.

What we are doing behind the scenes is binding your workspace into an environment which is powered by machines. You can either have a localhost machine or a docker machine. Right now each workspace can only be bound to a single machine environment, but in a couple months we'll release multi machine bindings, so that you could launch a docker compose, for example, as a way to bind your workspace.

The binding of your workspace happens behind the scenes. When you boot or shutdown the workspace, we take care of managing the machines. If you are using docker, then those machines are running out of process. If on linux we use docker natively. We use docker machine on mac or windows.

Once the machines are booted, we bind all of your projects into the workspace, which are mounted into the machines. Inside of the workspace machine, we launch another version of che. Based upon the programming language you choose, we are running intellisense services inside of the machines. For java, we actually run the native JDT code.

We then put RESTful wrappers around this, which enables the browser to have full intellisense capability. We have more work to do in integrating the JDT code with our restful wrappers and the UI, but it works well.

We now support refactoring, a lot of content suggestions, find usages, and so forth.

You can snapshot your workspace and use that image to load it again.

Your files are dual mounted between Che the workspace manager and your workspace environment. If you edit files in one, they are updated in the other. so you can ssh into your workspace or not. We provide a terminal into the workspace as well.

When you execute a command, we translate that into a process and then docker exec it inot a machine as well.
>> challenged and threatened by different ideas and points of view

That is one the problems I think. Some people (seems like the majority of young students nowdays) feel "challenged and threatened" personally, and not intellectually.
The redirection will happen in your shell, but the command will be called inside the shell invoked by sudo. So that won't work either unless you have write privs to the block device, but if that were the case, you probably didn't need sudo to read the dmg file. So this will likely fail for a reason other than the one you pointed out.
Having spent far more than my fair share of time around University students (11 years), I can assure you that the complaint is likely what the student said. It smells very much like what students today are saying.

Remember the other professor who had students call the police because there were mice in their apartment?
If he were living in Vancouver, the Chinese government would likely have not been able to execute him. And not everyone gets capital punishment.

About using the selective sync dialog: it takes me about 5 minutes to just load the folder list in the GUI, and it's on a quad-core Macbook Pro with 120 Mbps internet.

I believe a perfect solution for power-users would be a support for '.nodropbox' files, which would disable selective sync for a given directory and it's subfolders.

An even better idea would be '.dropboxignore' files, using the same syntax as '.gitignore'.
Contrary to your first comment, it sounds like you know very well which comments could affect your career.
Hi - the contributor to eclipse che include people from SAP, IBM, Codenvy, WSO2, and Serli.

We started on it about 18 months ago. It takes a long time to get through the branding and legal process.

We believe that the 4.0 release in a couple months will have finally resolved the branding items and the remaining Codenvy elements will have been removed.
'>>' will cause O_APPEND to be specified as flags when opening "/dev/sda". I'm pretty sure this flag is ignored on block devices as it's obviously useless.

fd = open("/dev/sda", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_APPEND, 0644);
pos = lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR);
-> pos = 0

If I am an enlightened owner, it seems obvious that I should help people raise kids (for the benefit of humanity), even though it makes my individual life marginally less enjoyable.

Indeed. And I don't think it contradicts what you say, to suggest that it could make your life more enjoyable in the longer term. Those kids are your future customers, employees, and neighbors. And, their parents are an economic and political force to be reckoned with.

Yet another post for HN to one-up each other decrying the "PC culture" with plenty of "kids these days" rants, while completely avoiding taking the charitable position and putting ourselves in their shoes.

The amount of hypocrisy that comes with the claims that these students should "learn to cope with uncomfortable ideas" is staggering. Guess what: these students are presenting us with an "uncomfortable idea" and the response has been nothing but knee-jerk.

Well done, everyone.

When I was at university they had Prime Minister Farrakhan speak. Many people were very mad, uncomfortable, large protests ensued. Despite the protests it was packed. I was on the newpaper assigned to shoot the protest. There was also a debate about if a public university should pay someone that much who is that controversial (also brought up how much the basketball coach makes, often times they are the highest paid public employees in a US state).

It was a learning experience. Wonder 20 years later what would happen if they tried bring someone that controversial in.

Privacy is a basic human right and I believe that media blitz of propaganda supporting reducing rights of privacy is wrong.

A friend of mine talks about us being "good ancestors" to future generations. We should protect privacy and use of encryption for business and personal use, not just for ourselves, but also for future generations.

Once rights are taken away it is difficult getting them back.
I tend to work on my side projects for fun whenever I feel like it. Fortunately I'm really into my side project, so when I come home I often feel like doing some work on it no matter how tired I am after my day job. I don't really have dedicated times for it and do as much as I feel like or have time for that day, whether it's 10 minutes or 2 hours.
That's completely irrational, though. Since when has reading about a violent assault led to a violent assault?
The UX problem isn't a matter of being online, but of not having a proper mechanism to express application UIs and styles (rather than document UIs and styles).

There are many PhoneGap applications there, and they don't make any "onlineness" assumptions. Their UI does however still suck and does not behave as expected.
As it has in the UK [0][3] and most of the developed world [1]. In the UK official data shows per capita calorie consumption has also fallen since the 1970s [0]. Obesity, similarly is on the rise. Something we have seen a rise in over the same time is heating in homes and other places [2]. I'm unable to quickly locate reliable data for calories burned by exercise or work but it seems a reasonable hypothesis that in the UK being cosy and sedentary is making up for the big drop in calorific intake.

Anticipating down votes for sources but do please study the data and where it's taken from.

Open Source may be well and good but the engineers at Mozilla still have to earn money for their families.
