It's probably to do with the snark - intentional or otherwise - in your leading "Whoops!" - it comes across as "hey, everyone, I'm really clever because I found a flaw" which a) several other people found anyway b) you didn't actually report accurately; as others point out, the 'wobbling' is the positioning algorithm still running, nothing to do with scrolling c) is an edge-case; no matter what your claim that "200 points aren't a lot", most timelines I've ever seen online have had nowhere near 200 points. It's also painfully obvious before you even begin that 200 labels won't fit at all sensibly in the given width, so nobody using this library would actually make such a blundering mistake.

Preparing for the Technology Revolution Created by Artificial Intelligence
Those "millions" of programmers had work in their own countries I presume. Long before a small fraction of these "millions" get around to leaving and moving to the west, the market would have stabilized a bit. Wages would raise there as the supply drops below demand. Eventually we will see "millions" of western developers taking a small paycut to move to Romania or Maruitius or wherever for lifestyle reasons. I hope someone will come here to replace my job for much cheaper, I am sick of it. It would take them a while to train up though, and by the time they are ready to take over, I will be ready to move on to something else. All these new programmers will need someone to support, train, manage, lead, and coordinate them.

Yes I am overpaid on a global scale. Underpaid on a local scale heh. Now what we need is millions of people here earning less than me.. That should put prices down...

Well, not everyone thinks Java is easy to read. I've doing my job with JavaScript and CoffeeScript for more than two years and I still hates JavaScript, let alone Java. And CoffeeScript is way better than it, even it's simply just some syntax sugars. I'm learning Clojure and it's even more expressive than CoffeeScript and that's why I like reading Clojure.

She's making nearly $1 million a month and hasn't demonstrated any long-term initiatives that will actually make Yahoo worth anything to it's investors. They brought her in because they thought she was a golden child and paid her as such, it's been ~4 years and with no results. Even worse, left to it's own devices Yahoo probably could have avoided the huge morale issues she created.

She was given huge latitude by the board to make decisions and show that they were valid. In the end she created an environment that led to an exodus of top talent.

She's a good high-level executive but not really a CEO.

Thank you for putting this together. Great work
I've been using GV for coming up on a decade and it has the same problem that Dia has - you can tell it was made by engineers. In the same way you can look at code written by a UX guy and just know it wasn't written by someone formally educated in CS, the converse applies when engineers try to do UI.* Engineers historically just cared about the functionality - e.g., "Does this UML depict the information as precisely as possible? OK. Good. Next problem."

You saw the same problems with XFree86 WM/DEs. I spent months trying to get XFCE to be perfect in the late '00s, but it just always looked off. I'm a keyboard-consoler 98% of the time anyways, so staying in my `screen' instance was fine (in fact preferable,)with a nicely configured Konsole (or was it aterm, or did E17 have it's own Term? One of those..) full-screened. But such is the folly of projects like DIA and GV. It's getting better as NYT and all end up hiring people who have multi-disciplinarian abilities (I think Square or AirBNB open-sourced their dashboard which has a lot of good vis tools) but I really just want a standard, declarative language I can embed in Pandoc that looks good whether I export to PDF, HTML or print it.

*LaTeX not withstanding. Knuth brilliantly applied mathematical rules to typesetting and I maintain it still beats out InDesign in certain scenarios, granted I've heard many-a-grad-student's yells of frustration as they try to embed their results into a .tex, so YMMV. Look at this TeX and I defy anyone to tell me it's not pretty:

Moxie, you really think crypto nerds are being attacked? They're not the ones with Keys to the Castle. Sysadmins have the keys! In fact, the NSA has been targeting sysadmins for a while. Sysadmins make great targets. Forget about their inability to implement a real security program, a sysadmin can barely get a security compliance regimen off the ground. Here's an article from Glen Greenwald's TheIntercept that details why Sysadmins are sitting ducks against both the NSA and Nation States: https://theintercept.com/2014/03/20/inside-nsa-secret-effort...

It's Sysadmins who make for a delicious muskrat lunch, not the crypto nerds.
If both content and form live in the same file, like in the standard LaTeX approach, they're not separated.

My approach is to abstract all style-related concerns in a template and keep the content in dedicated files: YAML for structured content (CVs and invoices) and markdown for prose-like content (letters).

Beside making life easier by using formats more suited, syntax-wise, for the particular type of content I'm dealing with, this opens up new possibilities for automation (e.g. I can iterate on repetitive data structures, for example for building an invoice table) and ultimately results in DRYer LaTeX code in the template.

> Instead of making a single big bet that might have focused the company on something completely different and potentially groundbreaking, Ms. Mayer staked out a lot of small and midsize positions, rarely committing to anything early enough to make a difference. For Ms. Mayer, original programming was just one of dozens of products in a portfolio that remains too complex to understand.

Other sources indicate that Mayer is very much a metrics-based decision maker (a).

I'm wondering if that's the result of putting a metrics-based decision maker at the head of a technology company. For sustaining innovation, carefully finding a local maximum seems fine, but in a dynamic field, you also need to be able to make a big move based on a more qualitative understanding of your surroundings.

As a technical contributor, I've been on-and-off frustrated my whole career by quantitative managers asking for promises of real profit before committing to cleaning up technical debt. There's no honest way to come up with a good number here. You can't solve the problem thirty times and then present a high mean and low p-value. "Keep doing what we're doing but maybe 5% better" requires absolutely no proof, in contrast. You don't have to prove that COBOL-based system XYZ won't blow up in your face or that frames-in-frames webpage mycompany.com/abc won't eventually look unprofessional and affect the company's brand.

I'm wondering if Mayer's "inability to bet the farm" is a higher-level version of the same problem... setting the bar too high for definitive proof creates barriers to strategic moves into areas with incomplete information.

Yes and no. The stated objective was to improve collaboration in "hallway and cafeteria" discussions [1]. Privately, former Yahoo employees said that the policy led to "people slacking off like crazy, not being available, and spending a lot of time on non-Yahoo projects," which is a problem with the management of employees not the policy itself.

If someone is working from home and not meeting their duties they should be fired. Eliminating the policy was a band-aid, having hard conversations and getting rid of the slackers (and their managers) would have been the cure.

The paintings are bad. Really, really bad. If you take for example the football photography turned into a painting, from the article[1], you can see even at that level of detail, that the painting is amateurish, lacks detail, and looks worse than the photograph. Their reproductions of famous paintings are even more obviously inadequate. Which is a shame, because unlike its execution, the idea itself is very good. I am disappointed that I cannot buy myself a nice reproduction of a famous painting.

My old boss had a very relevant point about why the company would fire folks as they did. If you have a guy on your team who usually doesn't work enough or comes late and leaves early you can fire him, or put up aa time clock, but the second you put up that time clock you've just alienated all the other good employees who didn't need babysitting. If people abuse the system, fire them and don't punish the loyal and hardworking. Mass punishment may work in the military, but this is the private sector and I have options.
I think you have a valid, and insightful, point. Metrics are meaningless for visionary projects because there's nothing there to measure yet.

I actually would have been happy if Yahoo resurrected a web portal and built social search to address the failings of Google, but instead there was this weird unfocused acquisition spree.

Ask HN: Have offer, still talking other companies

I accept and give my notice, possibly quitting before starting?

Thanks
"While the SourceForge Installer may present third-party offers,"

Don't worry, it's just an "offer". They're totally not distributing malware via their installer.
"Scientists at Newcastle University have shown the disease is caused by fat accumulating in the pancreas and losing less than one gram from the organ can reverse the life-limiting illness and restore insulin production."

That vaguely implies to me they have proven that pancreatic beta-cell burnout is always caused by inter-organ fat, and that losing just 1g (9kcal) of said inter-organ fat will always result in complete regeneration of the pancreatic beta-cells in a short period of time.. happy to hear that for all T2D's if that were indeed the case, still I'm slightly doubtful.

Over the long run of course, barring other chronic conditions, hormonal mega-mess or organ malfunction, the pancreas should be able to regenerate just like the liver and other crucial organs, given nutrients time rest and absence of undue stressors. Well that's a long list of "if"s already. By the time a T2D is usually diagnosed, shockingly chronically elevated insulin has been doing quite a bit of damage on their bodies all while still performing the job of keeping blood sugars stable. By the time this is no longer possible and "high sugar" is finally diagnosed, a lot will be well out of whack and healthy regeneration will be a lengthy slow process.

OTOH, I'm not a medical professional.
Unfortunately Filezilla has this trojan for some years now!
The trojan send all your identities to a server. This is tested 100%. We had many passwords stolen this way and we are 100% sure that it's filezilla.

Just take this test: Try to download the Filezilla and when the download page shows click on the Direct Link. Then compare the two executables, one that downloaded automatically and the one that it downloaded via the direct link.
You will see that the direct download is clean but the other has the SF icon and it has a virus!
Well, technically speaking, that's not true exactly because, they are off, 4 or maybe 5 days a year during major festivals. Remarkable achievement, nonetheless.
That might have been a machete approach to a problem more appropriate for a few dozen scalpels.

Maybe Yahoo didn't have time to sort through all those cases, but it shouldn't be surprised that:

1. Yahoo might have pushed out many people who didn't deserve it. Many of them are working parents and perhaps people with disabilities.

2. Yahoo might have pushed out "cheaters" without really telling them why, leaving them disgruntled about work-from-home policies instead of embarrassed that they were caught not doing their jobs.

3. Yahoo singled out a certain category of "cheaters" unfairly. I'll bet $5000 that there were at least twenty always-at-their-desks Yahoo employees who "wasted" a significant amount of time on HN, facebook, reddit, Yahoo video, or just talking about hobbies and sports with coworkers. Taking the ax to at-home slackers and ignoring the general slacker problem is slightly unfair. It doesn't project communication and transparency; it teaches employees to hide their routine from their bosses as much as possible.
It's funny I already use WinSCP but for SSH and SFTP connexions to Linux servers, it didn't even occurs to me that I could use it for regular FTP too. Thanks.
Don't tell them you have other offers. Set a reasonable date by which you should decide (a few weeks at most) and conclude all your negotiations by then, tell the 'winning' party that you accept their offer and hand in your notice.
At one horrible startup I worked for I would do 3 hours of work and then wait out another 6 hours because of the 9 hour face time expectation. I had high output because I'm good at what I do but they couldn't wrap their heads around not having me there constantly.

I ended up quitting because I was tired of watching my boss browse Facebook and sports blogs all day.
When you're a CEO at that level you can always get a new gig and you always get a golden parachute. Always.
There is a bunch of overlap between those groups (though too many sysadmins indeed don't grasp the threats that face them, or don't take them seriously).

I'm saying this as a sysadmin and crypto nerd who really wishes we had a secure messaging system that achieved both of Moxie's stated goals. Unfortunately, I don't want to use it in its current state for largely the same reasons as laid out by 'darklajid.

Both goals are important and feed into each other. If we don't have #2, it's easy for NSA and friends to backdoor the software or services for #1, for example like they did with their trusting-trust trojaned XCode.

Does anyone really believe these agencies will not react as we deploy "mass-surveillance-proof" software? What will be their next move to collect the data that they want? All of these attacks that people now write off as "crypto-nerd paranoia" will just become the new normal.
I'm familiar with Rust's tooling, not knocking it at all.
There's nothing preventing you from writing analogous data structures in any language.

The problem is the language culture and what is idiomatic. I write Python in my day job and while I could certainly write immutable data structures in Python and code in a way that treats data as immutable, it would be going against what is idiomatic in the language, which means that it won't play well with libraries and that my coworkers can still trample over my data without my knowledge. That is, the language gives me no guarantees whatsoever that my immutability is actually respected and that other code somewhere else that I did not write (either application code written by a coworker or library code written by a stranger) respects the immutability.

I find this argument similar to asking why bother writing in any high level language when you can implement the same things in assmembly. Hell, why don't we all just program turing machines directly?

Languages carry a lot more with them than just the features - they carry idioms and culture and community trends. All of these (and even small syntax differences) influence how we think about problems and how we create and structure solutions. They also influence how my code will interact with other peoples (and theirs with mine).
