Your flags should be encoded in the OBJDIR name indeed. It is most likely more correct anyway, as you can't always assume you can mix two objects which were compiled with different flags.

An example is C++, where often standard libraries don't allow mixing debug and release code.
I agree with you about this principle generally, but the dynamic changes when the founders are motivated by money made for them by the zeal of those below.

Working with startups is probably a great career opportunity for you. But pay attention to the decisions your company owners make, and see how much thought they give to you.

If you can manage to be around people so motivated by money for that long, good for you. I couldn't manage it.
She had me until the very end, with the anecdote about the guy apologizing for swearing in front of her.

I would apologize if I said "fuck" near my country's president, or even the president of my small-ish company. Both of whom are male. It's a sign of respect. In the context of women, I see it in a similar light to holding the door open for a lady. It isn't me assuming she's too weak to open a door, it's just a common courtesy.

I'm genuinely sorry that the author was offended by the guy apologizing for saying "fuck" near her. I can't speak for him, and perhaps he was a total douchebag. But perhaps he was aware that on average men can be more crude than women, and in a professional (male-dominated, numerically speaking!) setting like that one, it's prudent to avoid language that could make people feel uncomfortable.

I just built something using RxJS that is pull-based. The easiest way I found was just to have a timer that calls subject.next(), and the subject calculates its next value and calls this.onNext(value) which pushes to the subscribers.

I was expecting more pull based support.

An Unbelievable Story of Rape
Sexism is not "over-rated"

OECD's Social Institutions and Gender Index Is at http://www.genderindex.org, and is a litany of baked in prejudice, violence, lack of access to education, lack of access to property and other normal legal rights.

When we compare the lot of a 16 yo girl in Rwanda to a High schooler in SF, yes it is hard to find where the High schooler is having problems, but we just have to look at the ratio of men and women in tech to see there is a problem - even in modern, western, progressive San Francisco.

So globally, sexism is a violent oppressive force holding back progress for billions. In our happier world, it's waaaay better, but still not equal - and where there is inequality, there is profitable arbitrage opportunity. Both for talented women and for companies willing and able to introspect and overcome whatever is blocking their use of talented women.

The most obvious example I can see is I should be able to hire the very best development talent, for 80% of the price of the equivalent male talent ! Win!

"the so-called walking palm tree (Socratea exorrhiza) found in Latin America. Many people believe it can literally walk around (more or less)."

"The amazing ambulatory ability of the walking tree has been told by rainforest guides to tourists for years, and appears in many sources as an amazing plant adaptation."

"A tree that walks in search of the sun is a fascinating, bizarre story. Alas, it's also not true; the tree is real enough, but it doesn't walk — or even stumble. It sits where it sprouted, not moving except under the force of wind (or an axe)."

Also, don't you think that the technical competence of a candidate is just a fraction of the elements required to work in a company? What if the guy is a complete toxic worker or dishonest etc. etc. It is not that difficult to pass a technical interview, after all.

* you assume those who don't explicitly indicate that they work in infosec industry do not work in the infosec industry

* also, you do you need to be "experienced" in the infosec industry to be correct / wrong.

DDG depends on Yahoo Search API (BOSS) which depends on Bing. And Yahoo Search will be no more according to the news. As far as I know neither Google nor Bing offer a Search API for third parties.

> Richard Gabriel founded a company to write software for Lisp Machines,

The company Gabriel founded (Lucid Inc.) was never supposed to write software for Lisp Machines. Its mission from day zero was to develop a Common Lisp implementation for stock hardware (SUNs, etc.). Symbolics, the Lisp Machine maker, refused to fund a portable Common Lisp implementation (which Gabriel and Benson, the latter then at Symbolics, proposed).

> found that all of his customers would rather just write in C, pivoted it again to do a C++ dev environment, and eventually went out of business

Actually the Lisp business of Lucid Inc. financed the C++ development.

It was a gamble. They easily could have continued to develop and sell Common Lisp (their main competitors from that time, Franz Inc. and LispWorks are still alive) and stay in a small/shrinking niche. But Lucid tried to diversify and to grow. The idea was to write a C++ environment with a similar and improved development experience as a Lisp system. They used the cash cow they had and eventually sunk the whole company when the C++ system flopped in the market. Their C++ system (Energize) was very expensive, technically complex, ...

I think it has likely been downvoted by people from countries that do not speed.

I have only ever seen Americans and Canadians talking about the necessity to speed to keep up with the flow of traffic (and they have a higher rate of fatal RTAs per 100,000 than most Western European countries – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-r... – Canada is close to Italy, a country that is well known in Western Europe for terrifying traffic, while America is closer to South American countries)

While driving too slow is as dangerous as driving too fast, it's not as dangerous as the Solomon curve suggests, according to the article you linked:

> Reporting on these results in 1971, academics West and Dunn confirmed the findings of Solomon and Cirillo,[11] but found that crashes involving turning vehicles accounted for 44 percent of all crashes observed in the study and that excluding these crashes from the analysis greatly attenuated the factors that created the U-shape of the Solomon curve.

The topic of this conversation also seems to oddly mirror the course of the story from the original article. Minor acts of breaking a just law, justified on an individual basis, lead to a society in which regularly breaking that law is accepted – and indeed enforced – by the state.

That is probably why people are downvoting your parent comment.

For the record I don't have the ability or the desire to have the ability to downvote.

He didn't. Also, he made a phone call and made every effort to give the benefit of the doubt to someone who, perhaps not maliciously and through naiveté, did something very silly and then made it even sillier by making it look hard to distinguish from extortion.

The best possible outcome there would have been a grumpy letter from lawyers asking him to sign an affidavit he's destroyed all the data he picked up. The worst would have been people in suits packing away his every computing device at 4 am. None of this happened and it seems the main reason it didn't is 'Alex Stamos is not a dick and Facebook lets him not be a dick'. That's a good outcome, by any measure.

This is terrible advice, unless you think you'll never be able to profit from the product itself. Don't give up prematurely!

That said, the typical case is that hobby games don't make any money, so it may be a good idea to open source it, but later. Definitely not immediately.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot to me more than you know.

You can bet I definitely would like something to come from this. I'm working on it full time without being paid. Even just a job would be life changing right now.

I'd love to hear your take on what I'm thinking of doing with it and get any advice anyone has. I thought about making it a commercial game, but I'm very strong on the coding/design part of it and not so good at the marketing and promotion side.

My current plan is to open source it actually and maybe set up a patreon account to help fund the development with donations. There are features I'd like but can't afford to do like online multiplayer. I haven't yet because I'm not sure how it conflicts with unity generated project files. I also made use of a few creative commons sound effects and I want to attribute and mark them right. So I'm not quite sure what I'll have to do to set it all up. I want to do it right.

I'm thinking about doing the open source + donation route because I figured it would take the same amount of marketing effort as a commercial game and I'd much rather give it away than charge for it. Games are best when they're shared with each other.
Software developed or maintained by the OpenBSD project
That doesn't sound as cool, so clearly can't be it.
Because, as some people fear, the AI would decide humanity is a threat and wipe us out, or take over so much resources we die regardless, or some other apocalyptic scenario. To guard against that we may decide not to hand control of important things over to the AI, or at least build in a safe guard so we can regain control if necessary.

If we believe that pfisch is correct in their assertion that handing control of things to an AI means we end up living as if we're in a zoo, then we'll (presumably) decide that the benefits aren't too good to refuse, and we'll refuse them.

Whether or not that premise is correct is what's up for debate.

This is harder to parse in my mind than:

if is_ok:
do_the_thing()
else:
warn_the_user()

In that you can see more or less visually what the intent is rather than having to mentally parse the text. But perhaps that's just personal taste.

IMHO, expressiveness and conciseness are largely the same idea because when you talk about the former, you mean being able to bang out an idea in fewer lines of code yielding the latter.

Having a complex grammar and a myriad of ways to do the same thing seems very neat, but in the end the productivity gained in the writing, you waste several times in the reading, so it ends up being a net loss.

But Perl lost the dynamic language wars a long time ago -- I think perhaps some of the flavor got picked up in Ruby?

And having a language read like English is IMO, a bad idea -- English is very ambiguous in many cases -- mimicking this in your programming language would be a bad idea indeed.

Just as there are different degrees of wrong (the Earth is flat vs. the Earth is a sphere), there are different degrees of propaganda and varying severity of political indoctrination.
I find it a bit funny that they call it a "gender index", but it really just cares about discrimination against women. Way to go... Are girls equally likely as men to be recruited as child soldiers? Presumably their statistics won't show it...

Also I think access of women to education in the third world might be a good indicator of economic and health care in those countries, not necessarily discrimination. If women are more like to die or be unable to work for extended periods of time because of childbirth, and you can only afford to send one of your kids to school, it just makes more sense to send the boy. It's unfair in a way, but not because people don't like girls, but because of biological and economic realities.

As for women in tech: women have other options than going into tech. That might be all there is to it.
There a few male preschool teachers because of the threat of accusations and prejudice. I work in schools, you're told not to be alone with children. You can work 10 or 20 years to get into your stride teaching in lower school and it can be all undone in one bad press piece. It's a massive problem.
