What is the "real" consequence here? And is it still straw manning, in a sense, to make judgements based on an incomplete story, and jump to conclusions about someone else being wrong, without the whole story?

I don't know about the yoga class incident, but I don't automatically see the ridiculousness the rest in this sub thread appear to -- it seems pretty reasonable to me for a group of students to check their assumptions about what they're doing when they learn about something related in history. Yes yoga is now a trendy healthy way to stretch and exercise, and how could history have anything to say about stretching, but it does not seem silly to me to wonder out loud if yoga may have originated as a symbol of oppression or death, or of submission to it.
I don't think anyone is going to give me $100 million and I am even less sure I even would want it if it was on offer. I live a very nice life doing mostly what I want because I don't have to answer to anyone other than me. I am pretty sceptical that taking outside investors is desirable.
Lets back up.

I claimed a white male might feel irrational fear of the disproportionately large number of black on white crimes, just as maaku claimed a black person might feel irrational fear of crimes that happened a few generations back.

I linked to a source showing that the number of black on white crimes is disproportionately large. Perhaps this white supremacist organization did make arithmetic errors when multiplying row 2 column 2 by row 2 column 5. Did they?

It's a bit surprising that with all this criticism, no one is actually claiming the number is wrong.
Even variable names? I know that class/method/field names are visible, but I didn't think that local variable names were. I can't see a reason for them to be, aside from debugging... and presumably they're not shipping a debug build.

Indeed, you are free to make your offensive speech. And I also have the freedom to tell you your speech makes me uncomfortable, and to convince those around me to do the same and shun you while you continue to speak it near us. Now both our freedoms of speech have been preserved and any appeal to "Freedom of Speech" is vacuous and we can never use the term again in this context. Great.

The poetry of programming
This is not the first time (Mozilla aka Netscape) and it reminds me back when I first started my programming career and would read good ole Joel:

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html

Joel was right and wrong.. Firefox was a huge success (or at least in my mind it was) but some might say the Netscape company was trashed during the process (I don't know if I agree).

Starting over isn't always a bad thing but I agree that is also highly overrated.
This is a logical fallacy that is unfortunately rampant on here. It's an ad hominem - the source may be a bunch of shitty people, but if we're arguing that we shouldn't accept something, attack the actual content of the message.

It's generally quite easy to do so when the source of information is biased, so dismantle the message if you want to argue about how it's incorrect.

It looks like these numbers posted were very low effort and lacking any real context whatsoever, so it shouldn't be too hard to rebut them.

Edit: In fact, unprepare does so quite well in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10655743
I've used Eclipse for PHP/CSS/JavaScript for too many years, it is still the only Open Source IDE than can do auto-completion, outline and Go to definition, Go to reference reliably for PHP.

But things have gotten to boiling point. It can't handle newer technologies, like LESS, there is no good extensions for anything relatively new.

I think Atom (and my preferred VS Code) is the future of IDEs, there is a lot of people behind these working on new features and extensions for these. And having HTML rendering engine behind the IDE does make it more approachable for hacks, simple and useful ones.
That was the build up. It led to the following statement and conclusion:

"For time when you want to prove abstractly to standard, this doesn't seem better than KCC. In short, this feels like Not Invented Here against KCC. Probably unfair characterization, but that's what it feels to me."

The obvious interpretation is commenter thinking KCC is better and (see NIH) the OP should've maybe done something with it instead...?

" Another comment points out following the standard is good for portabilities sake. Somehow, that all seems obvious to me."

You can follow the standard and be portable if you keep certain parts as options subject to interpretation/choice of the implementers. That's the so-called undefined behavior mostly.
The entire Indian subcontinent is currently struggling with the transition to a state of the world where citizens communicate freely and frequently without going through an organization controlled directly by the government.

Bangladesh, for example, has banned Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber and a bunch of other services for the last two weeks in order to prevent extremist responses to a couple of very touchy executions. The telecommunications ministry has reached out to "the Facebook authorities" and the US State Department in order to "make a deal"...but the way they've gone about doing so feeds into the narrative that the they have no idea what they are doing.

They'll learn to be effectively evil in time, I guess.
I don't get your point. The (US) drinking age is not tied to the age of majority or most other societal indicators of "adulthood."

Unless your post means to say we should probably drop the drinking age. I'd agree it's pinned higher than maturity curve of youths, and personally find the illegality to encourage a debauched form of underage drinking. But I don't really see how that's here or there.

re, your edit: Are you saying that by some developmental model 17 year olds should not be asked to rise to the standards of behaviour expected of adults? Please elaborate.
"which is not shared by many"

I agree with your opinion and am one of those that shares that thought as well.

"If the quality of desk top software in the 80's and the 90's"

Exactly. And it couldn't be as bad back in the day when things had to be good simply because you didn't want to have to update by floppy (or even CD) a bunch of software with issues.

The focus on quality isn't there. It isn't there because of the safety net of being able to update people over the web. Nothing appears to be thought out in advance anymore. Maybe "no beta or alpha testing" might be an exaggeration but it just seems like "shove it out and when problems develop patch it".

> Asking for a "safe space" where you don't have to deal with your conscience is horribly absurd.

Asking for safe space where you don't have to worry about others trying to manipulate your conscience, OTOH, is not unreasonable.

At the same time, expecting formal services at the on-campus chapel of what is overtly an evangelical Christian university to be that safe space is somewhat unreasonable.

(Which is not to say that Dr. Piper's letter is itself a reasonable response to the scenario it describes.)
An interesting observation.

If someone here asked "How do I have time to work 60h a week at my day job, 40h already feels like a lot" - You would get a lot of responses telling you about work life balance, and that 40h is plenty of work - heck in Europe they work 36.

On the other hand after coding a full day, most people here suggest going home and coding side projects.

I think each person is different, but this is HARD to do. If you are working and thinking real hard at your day job, I don't think you can really go home and do something useful on a side project. I have had periods where I spent 3 weeks going to meetings and writing tech docs - in those it would be easy to go home and code. But if I already put in a solid 40h of code? Forget about it, my brain can only code so much good code a week.
Estonian library borrowings – live map
The article reminds me of how incredibly different the modern world has become and whilst we may consider ourselves to be at the most 'advanced' stage in human history, I think these ancient cultures could teach us a lot. We have an abundance of knowledge about the external world, yet very little knowledge on the internal.

It is a problem in either case - if it really disappears then time reversibility, a real corner stone of physics, is violated, if it does not disappear the problem is that we don't understand (well) where it goes. As far as I know the favourite theory is that the information is contained in the Hawking radiation and I believe to remember that there was a paper not too long ago that showed how to recover one (or a few) (qu)bit(s) from Hawking radiation in a special case. Because time reversibility is such a deep concept it seems likely that we just don't understand well where the information goes, I doubt that many physicists believe the information really disappears.

> Supposedly it doesn't matter what you do, it matters what you feel.

I think I see what you mean. But this is not how I read Corinthians; but I agree that this may not be shared either, and I won't make this about religion, I'm really talking about the text itself.

First, it does not put love before actions. It says actions/qualities (or that most of life, actually) is meaningless, nothing, without love (as an attachment to God/Truth)

Second, it defines what is definitely not "love", so one may not use it as a pretext for wrong doing (at least).

Third, it says that we will never see things fully, neither at once, until, that is, the end (provided it's not an ellipsis, he! :) ).

Plus, "love" as expressed in this text is not Philia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philia) but from Latin Caritas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charity_%28virtue%29) (or Greek "agape"); which is not about a feeling, but about something way deeper, transcendant and, although not quite the right word, respectful, for one to an other. It's love as one of the three Christian theological virtues (fides, spes, caritas), that is, in an intimate relation to the Christian God (in this context) as a guide, a goal, an ideal for love/Philia too.

> That love is genuine, and it doesn't redeem the action.

I see your point. That love is, actually, deeply misled. Actually, that's not love, that's fear that supersedes love ("I fear that you [x] and I don't want to because this makes me [y] and I freak out and I don't think you can decide for yourself, so I'll do it and [z]").

Love (be it eros, philia or even agape) is no excuse to abuse. Good intentions don't make an excuse for incompetence.

> If they thought there was no risk of someone stealing the idea

I didn't say that. In fact, I said the opposite - they acknowledge there is a risk in someone stealing the advantage of being first to market, irrespective of the idea itself.

Being first to market on a mediocre idea with good execution is an order of magnitude better than being fifth to market on a great idea with good execution.
As a Jew I can tell you that most of the physical danger I feel and, empirically, that Jews experience comes from politically correct liberals (especially Europeans) who whitewash and fail to acknowledge the danger of Muslims and Islam.

The data source is the NCVS, a crime victimization survey. The reason is that we aren't relying on racist cops to tell us who the perpetrator is, we are just asking the victims. The survey methodology also allows us to detect unreported crimes.

One unfortunate drawback of the survey methodology is that you can't track murder.

Zerto — http://www.zerto.com — Israel (Herzliya); Boston (halfway between Broadway & South stations); remote

Zerto has the industry's leading hypervisor-based replication solution for private, public, and hybrid clouds. If you're interested in virtualization, data protection, disaster recovery—or just working on interesting technical challenges—then we might be right for you.

We're on a hiring spree with a wide range of openings, including roles in QA, DevOps, sales/solutions engineers, development, etc. Technologies include C++, C#, .NET, PHP, Apex, and Javascript (Angular in particular I believe).

Technical openings are here: http://app.jobvite.com/m?3tOHHhwr

Experience with and/or interest in these could be helpful: hypervisors, cloud computing, virtualization, VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, and Azure.

Also hiring for a ton of non-technical positions, especially in sales and account management—most of these positions are also fully remote and spread out globally. Here are some of the business openings: http://app.jobvite.com/m?3WOHHhwU

There are already cross-platform toolkits that can deliver everything a browser engine can, faster and safely.

Face it, "web technologies" are not winning because of any massive technological advancement, just like C++ wasn't this huge advancement over C. They just managed to achieve enough critical mass to make everything else look less popular. In the '90s, OOP did that through academia and commercial push (in what was a much smaller tech sector); html/css/js did it through the accidental monopoly that is the web browser. The end result is basically the same.

I've only used three different IDEs/editors with regularity: Eclipse, IntelliJ and Sublime Text. I've dabbled with others like Atom and Brackets, and you're right, they all seem to have a bit of "heft" to them - except for Sublime Text. It starts up quickly. It's closes quickly. It's always immediately responsive. What makes it different from the others?
We are trying an experiment with the a new product my company is launching.

We started out by writing down all of our assumptions, of which there are many. I'm not sure you can ever build any product or service without them, no can you successfully "validate" all of them (people's actions don't always line up with their words).

It's actually really refreshing to be able to look and see, "OK, there's all of the stuff that we don't really know, and our job is to invalidate any lore in there as quickly as possible."
And `glances` is pretty great for big-picture stuff, all-in-one. It's not as precise on CPU/memory as htop, but you get network bandwidth, disk I/O, disk usage and more.

People seem to use it as a normal IM client. They have a web UI and don't really claim to be all that secure (eg not trying to compete with Signal). I don't understand the benefit over the numerous other IM apps, everyone who uses it just says "oh i like Telegram better" or "my friends are on it".
In my experience "formal debate" (in the vein of forensics competitions, etc) is essentially heavy "research" in which you cherry pick any study or paper or blog you can find that supports your position and then spit out all those citiations as quickly as possible in an 8 minute 'speech' -- there's very little debating or discussion going on, just a war of citations which quickly shows all the participants that citations mean nothing -- no matter your view you can find plenty of "evidence" for it, it's an even playing field whether you're affirmative or negative after all.

So all in all like the real debate we see on television I suppose.

It was a failure as he said because the goal was to rewrite it for the company to do better. They failed at that. More work was done including by Mozilla. That worked but was too bloated and all-in-one. Eventually, someone trimmed it up to make Firefox and added the customization features. That succeeded.

So, there was a failure, years of struggling changes, several new audiences, and another big change before it made it. Not seeing it as a counterexample as much as good luck for a project that seemed doomed to failure.
I also felt that the real atrocity is the system, despite this one individual's choices. This article reminded me of an interview in the "The Giant Pool of Money" broadcast about the mortgage lending crisis. This person took a loan 100% intending to never make a payment. The system gave him the money, he bought a house and then it was taken away, uprooting his life. Human interest aside, it was amazing to me that this set of events could even happen.

Full Time JavaScript Instructor + Curriculum Architect

ONSITE (SF), REMOTE

http://www.vikingcodeschool.com

Viking Code School is an immersive and 100% online development bootcamp where students only pay tuition when they get a job. We're a mission-driven company with the goal of launching a million high-growth careers around the world while having fun doing so.

Instructors are the heart of everything and we're looking for an experienced and opinionated JS developer who will run the JavaScript portion of the course and continue to build out the curriculum. This is not a lecture-based position -- we heavily lean on demos and code review while supporting our pair-programming students when they have questions.

Because we are 100% online, this is a REMOTE OK position which allows for a high degree of lifestyle flexibility while giving you a chance to potentially affect millions of lives with the lessons, demos, projects and posts you create.

Requirements:

* 5+ years team-based development experience, 3+ in JavaScript and relevant frameworks (e.g. AngularJS)

* Significant experience with writing, sharing and educating (e.g. blogging, delivering conference talks, podcasting, teaching, or committing to OSS). Great communication is prized over specific teaching experience.

* A legitimate passion for education and, preferably, also a quirky weird sense of fun.

Apply with your CV, a description of why you are a good fit, and any relevant links to Github, conference talks, blog posts etc. to careers@vikingcodeschool.com
Anyone who has worked in student organizations should be able to attest that students don't have full autonomy from administration/faculty/university governance. I have no idea what role, if any, that any of these influences played on this situation, but I think it's a bit simplistic to assume students made this decision solely on their own.
