The advantage (for me, at least, on a Mac) is that it's easier to pick which terminal you want when they're laid out across the screen instead of all being in the same position: "The window I'm testing my code in is in the bottom right", "The window I'm compiling that large thing in the background is off to the left", "The window I'm running my backup script is up at the top".

> feel free to start with the 1400 or 1600 private jets that landed in Davos to discuss CO2 and AGW

That's a really stupid reason why be skeptical. First of all, these people are mostly the governing elites, not scientists (actually all of them, I don't think there is a climate scientist with a private jet). If anything, the fact they are discussing it means it exists!

But OK, maybe you believe there is a conspiracy of those 1000 private planes owners going on, whatever that is. This is still not a reason to distrust scientists, just like existence of huge profits of pharmaceutical companies is not a reason to a priori distrust modern medicine. In fact, it may as well be a symptom of the thing being true.

Tangent: I think that paid paternity/maternity leave is prejudicial against those who have chosen not to have kids. I get the sleepless nights in the first few months, and wouldn't want to deny parents time to bond with their newborns.

But looking at it objectively, why should a company offer benefits associated _only_ with parenting? It benefits society (not individual companies) to encourage breeding, and therefore parental incentives should, if they exist at all, come from the state rather than private enterprise.

At the company level, flexible personal paid leave for employees who have earned it might be a fairer arrangement.

A government and enforcement (military/police) entirely made up of robots running open-sourced and transparent AI? So that everyone could see all the factors that go into their decisions, and the short- and long-term benefits that the AI calculated for all parties affected by its rulings.

I mean, if the core issue is natural human flaws, then removing humans from the process altogether, like we do with all our other routine automation, seems to be the inevitable solution.

The problem, of course, is deciding who gets to decide the initial set of rules, and when to patch what...

You're equating "capitalism" with "exactly what we have now". They're not the same. Capitalism is a small subset of what we have now. It's quite possible, for example, to have free market socialism; everyone trading with everyone else isn't exclusive to capitalism.
I'm fairly sure bsdtar had automatic compression detection before GNU tar did. Been the default on FreeBSD since version 5.3 (2004).

The reality is that the example is set by senior management. If anyone has any ambition to succeed in a large organization they will do a lot better if they follow the example of their leaders. It is human nature that managers tend to promote those who toe the line, and invariably, this line is not defined in the company handbook, but is a set of unwritten rules and behaviour that is set by the leaders in the organization.
What does Capitalism have to do with your example?

Capital has always and will always be a traded good. Nothing about that can ever change. Unless you plan to return humanity to the most basic of existence, living day to day, scrounging, trying not to starve without reserves.

No regulation? Please point me to the industrial economy without financial regulations on any major specific thing.

What happened with the global financial meltdown was very obviously not due to lack of regulation. It was caused by the Fed encouraging reckless behavior by intentionally inflating asset bubbles as an attempt to accelerate recovery from the 2000/2001 recessionary economy. Hint: they're doing the exact same thing all over again right now, they're doing it on purpose and have been for over half a decade, and they're openly admitting it.

Agreed, and I think people do not fully understand it because the way it happens is not safety based the way you describe it. The question is not is X safe and Y unsafe, the question is each on its own. Is X safe, and will it still work on old systems or in ten years? Yes, 100%.is y safe and still work in ten years? Well some old system might have issues, and the patents might still exists, and....

Government will never be perfect, in view of that why not regulate and inform the consumer? Allowing companies to do things like change product sizes (hidden by using the same size package) and alter ingredients without informing the consumer means that companies can more easily avoid backlash over their negative actions.

Perhaps there are good reasons why this hasn't happened yet, but I'm surprised that the bulk of Wordpress-based websites don't split the editing of content from the display of content.

What do I mean by this? Imagine you have two servers. Server 1 has WordPress installed, and is where you manage your website content. Server 2 does not have WordPress installed, but instead displays a static copy of the WordPress content, which is updated by a script on Server 1 whenever new content is published.

What are the advantages? First of all, Server 1 can be very heavily locked down. You can keep it accessible only over a VPN or ssh tunnel, you can keep it unlisted off search engines, you don't even need to register a domain name for it. Secondly, due to the static nature of the content served on Server 2, site performance and scalability is going to be excellent, and it'd be easy to manage a cluster of "Server 2's" if a single server isn't fast enough.

What are the disadvantages? You have to rely on a third party solution like Disqus if you want to have comments on the content you create. Same for shopping cart functionality. Also, you may not be able to have a Wiki. I can't think of any other disadvantages.

Parental leave is available to everyone. It's not prejudicial just because you choose not to take advantage of it, just like it's not prejudicial to offer gym memberships to people who choose not to work out.

Besides that, parent leave is better seen as an accommodation (like bathrooms or wheelchair ramps), not a benefit. It's a human function necessary to society--until the robots take over anyway. Because it's uniquely tied up with work schedules, it's reasonable for society to force employers to make the accommodation. It's entirely reasonable for private enterprise to sometimes be forced to foot the bill for activities that benefit society rather than the business itself.
It took me a while to run across envconsul and consul-template after discovering Vault also. But the simplicity of the tools together is much easier than any other configuration software option I've tried. So much more straightforward than an ops tool like puppet or chef (though those have their place).
But looking at it objectively, why should a company offer benefits associated _only_ with parenting?

Because companies are cheap and want to keep paid leave to a bare minimum. But parenting is important so its harder for them to take a firm stance against time-off policies ion that specific situation.
I'm sorry for your loss.

It's still evidence of massive hypocrisy by many of those who claim to care very much.

Welcome to Quebec, the province intent on shooting itself in the head. Check out their language laws if you really want to see totalitarian, it destroyed their economy and has likely set them back forever. Beautiful place to visit, just beware of falling concrete.
A lot of things in life shouldn't be painful, but they are (legally speaking). Starting a business, getting divorced, moving to another country for work, becoming a citizen of another country, getting an abortion, adopting a child - all of these are painful (unless of course one is rich) in terms of legal/paperwork/bureaucracy. This is assuming that one is clean with no baggage, has proper paperwork etc. If a person has criminal history (even a non violent one), it gets much worse.

For all the amazing advancements humans have made - it is sad that we can't make the absolute necessities of life easy and smooth. We have weird laws, we impose our opinions/ideas on others for no reason instead of letting them be - we are really a weird species.

"Also a major nitpick, most of that billion were brought out of poverty in China in the 1950s at the peak of Maoism/Communism."

That's an odd definition of "brought out of poverty".

What does this mean exactly? Is his machine a mail server?

I used to know an engineer/scientists who only used a single laptop (linux) and it acted as his mail server. When he travelled he used dyndns (or some such thing) so that delayed mail would be delivered to his laptop. Could never get a straight answer about whether this worked all the time or not (whether he ended up missing emails).
Look at your GitHub link. The thread has plenty of people of colour on it thanking them for the change. Also, this trend started with a complaint from a black man. In 2003. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/master.asp

By the way, I didn't address it, but your idea that changing it could be damaging to a minority group is flatly idiotic. Even if you were right and this was terminology that wasn't truly offensive, it wouldn't render it offensive and thus create exclusion in other unchanged places where none had existed before. People understand that changes take time to propagate. The only theoretical danger would be the sort of devs who Take A Stand and wilfully continue to use the old language to make a point, regardless of who they offend. And, yes, those men would then be exclusionary. As you want to be.
Don't worry they're only internet points :)
It's trivially easy to refute the conclusion in fact. Fortunately history has already provided the refutation, dozens of times, and history will continue to prove that Capitalism is the only system that works long-term. All other systems rot and collapse, requiring constant reform back towards Capitalism (see eg: Sweden since the 1980s, UK since 1970s). There isn't a single example in world history of Socialism, Fascism, or Communism working. Every example of heavy welfare state systems has resulted in eventual stagnation and decline.

There is no ultimate conclusion to Capitalism, the system continues to create more prosperity, and capital continues to seek higher forms of productivity and profit, which perpetually raises the standard of living for any nation that deploys Capitalism with its well understood requirements (which include a strong judicial system, property rights, et al). New innovations and breakthroughs perpetually lead to new industry and expansion, creating perpetually greater numbers of jobs (which is why America doesn't only have 500,000 jobs available today; and America isn't even a properly functioning Capitalist nation, it's a poorly functioning highly regulated mixed economy).

Sweet Jesus, so true.

Every time someone suggests we have proper requirements or decent testing or put some thought into design or rewrite something that's causing endless trouble, we're told there's no time for it.

Which is how we're now up to "release candidate" FORTY, four months behind the original release date. Because tests get done six months after the code was written, whatever doesn't fail has a fifty-fifty chance of not actually doing what's needed (so it's a bug), and testers and coders have long conversations about "what's it even meant to do, anyway?" that are unanswerable because there is no requirement or design reference.

The cost of running four months over schedule thus far is, well, four man-months multiplied by the number of employees, basically. So yeah, excellent savings compared to having spent a couple of days thinking about what we're trying to build and having testers involved throughout rather than just dumping six months' worth of untested development on them (and expecting them not only to be able to test it in a week, but expecting everything to pass).

Wouldn't mind if this was the first time, but EVERY DAMN CYCLE is the same. We can't possible start doing things properly, look how far behind we are! It's like there's a mental gap, some kind of inability to see the cause and effect right in front of their faces.

"We still need to fill these jobs, and a generous basic income would make these jobs highly unpopular. So we can either set a basic income that is not high enough to solve the problem it was trying to solve, or we create a situation like in Saudi Arabia – where all the undesirable jobs are taken by foreign jobbers "

Or we could just let the wage for those undesirable jobs rise to a level that someone will take them, even though they're getting the basic income.

Why shouldn't someone get paid a lot of money for (e.g.) trimming my toenails? Someone else would have to pay me a lot of money to do that.

I bet there's a number of grid corrections due to historical subdivision, not cartography.

The first land developers like George Calvert and William Penn and more going westward had large tracts of land to subdivide into smaller and smaller units but they didn't all make the same choices. Eventually roads within needed to meet and corrections made.

In the East, almost every town has a "County Line Road" and more times than not, it's crooked and met with a number of dogleg corrections.
Not while satisfying the requirement that each piece of land be six miles square, with the boundaries running north-south and east-west. In fact that's impossible to do for a single piece of land that does not straddle the equator.

One solution would have been to make each parcel of land 36 square miles, with the parcels getting taller and narrower further north.
