Roundabouts are a great solution to this. Everyone slows down a bit, instead of either doing 55 or 0. Also, when there IS a collision, you're more likely to get a glancing blow instead of t-boned.

Also, when I'm riding (motorcycle or bicycle) this kind of intersection is terrifying because it only takes one person running a light at 55mph to kill you.

That categorization ("blatant racist") will sadly tend to produce an endless argument over who can and can't be racist. That's fruitless.

More accurately, that statement is both anti-white and misandrist, almost by definition, by equating white plus male with damage.
I had to look that one up, but, uh, yea - your counterexample is a tv show character?
Public education does little to train the professionals or do the research. I went to a major public research university. 20% of our budget came from the state. All of the research and innovation was done pursuant to grants and contracts, many of them related to defense. The educational system is not effective in doing research. The military/industrial/educational complex is incredibly effective at doing research.
doesn't this also cross a legal boundary? if you're an independent activist fine, but both race and sex are protected categories in the workplace
I think what she's saying is that usually when tech companies talk about diversity they mean they really are talking about increasing the number of women in tech. To her, at least, that's not as important as increasing the number of minorities in tech. So as "white women" are in one group but not the other, the are bad because they are minorities in disguise. Even with that, it's a terrible thing to put on a slide without any added context.
Following that new "Error 53" debacle, it does seem that Apple's policy regarding repairs is "If it breaks after a year, throw it away".

I think my Macbook was the last model that even had an easily replaceable battery. I think they glue 'em in now.
It's impossible. We can't guarantee the order of the result set, so we'd have to iterate the entire collection just to implement `next`
Great power != running the company. It specifically mentions he's taken over corpdev and some other functions

Also note that Julio is a very technical guy.

Note that what you have seen here is nearly identical to what david drummond did at Google (start as legal, take over some other functions like corpdev) in the early years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Drummond_(Google)

It's hard to say this didn't work out amazingly well.

I'm also completely unsure why, without any evidence (in this article or elsewhere), you would assume that whatever power Julio has, he's using in a way that stagnates things, instead of using it in a way that enables folks to get shit done.

(David is the reason Google was willing to take so many legal/etc risks for the past N years)
Grabduck – new material design. pls try usability
As I allured to in the previous post, Trump may also not be nominated by the powers that be. Call me cynical, but the people nominated and presented to the voters, are preselected by the capitalist class.
guys (who are interested), need you help. In short, Grabduck is fulltext search bookmarking system. Would appreciate any comments about usability of our new "Google Material" approach and ways how to improve it from normal user's point of view. Thanks in advance.
I had the same initial reaction. I wonder why they used google sites as a hosting platform to begin with. there's a dozen better, more visible alternatives.
People see the world through their own lenses. Perception drives reality.

I didn't say what you attributed to me. Have you ever read anything from that period I referenced at all before you declare me to be ignorant?

>Back in the old days, there was no concept of religion being a separate magisterium. The Old Testament is a stream-of-consciousness culture dump: history, law, moral parables, and yes, models of how the universe works. In not one single passage of the Old Testament will you find anyone talking about a transcendent wonder at the complexity of the universe. But you will find plenty of scientific claims, like the universe being created in six days (which is a metaphor for the Big Bang), or rabbits chewing their cud. (Which is a metaphor for...)

>Back in the old days, saying the local religion "could not be proven" would have gotten you burned at the stake. One of the core beliefs of Orthodox Judaism is that God appeared at Mount Sinai and said in a thundering voice, "Yeah, it's all true." ... The vast majority of religions in human history - excepting only those invented extremely recently - tell stories of events that would constitute completely unmistakable evidence if they'd actually happened. The orthogonality of religion and factual questions is a recent and strictly Western concept. The people who wrote the original scriptures didn't even know the difference.
We tried to switch. After few days devs make a note on the table "X days without GitLab being down". X always was < 2.
Your musing poses an interesting question. But I'm writing just against the bit where you say we should default to accepting the zero-sum perspective given a lack of understanding of physics.

The evidence against the zero-sum perspective of wealth is overwhelming.

You can go and harvest the wheat. Or, you can let the wheat rot, and spend your day digging a hole and filling it in. Same energy spent. One creates value, the other doesn't.

You can light the gas under your stove, or you can set your curtains on fire. One destroys value at speed, the other doesn't.

You can sew something with a needle and thread. Or you can use a hand-wound sewing machine you inherited from a relative. Same outcome, one is far more energy-expensive than the other.
The union group may have good cause to sue Google for defamation. Google has the right to terminate their use of Google services. But for Google to say that unionization information violates their terms of service [1] may be defamatory. Nothing in the terms of service prohibits this.

On top of that, Google's action may violate the National Labor Relations Act.[2] This could be construed as collusion between employers to violate the rights of workers to organize. Google has a record of colluding with other employers to violate labor law, from the famous "anti-poaching agreement".[3] So Google could have a hard time in court over this, since a pattern of illegal anti-labor activity has already been established.

GitHub has, since the Horvath incident, made it pretty clear what kind of person they want to hire. And, frankly, that's fine.

There are plenty of places where I, as a competent white male, can get hired and promoted without difficulty. The fact that Github isn't one of those is not a systematic problem. More power to them.
It is much, much, much more expensive to deploy cellular infrastructure in the US than anywhere in Europe. The US is massive, and cities have much greater distances between them than in Europe.

The carriers here can't price based on where you live, because people travel (and could easily fudge their addresses). So what happens is the people who live in cities end up subsidizing the infrastructure for people who live in suburban or rural areas.

We do have smaller carriers (T-Mobile and Sprint) that have much less coverage in non-urban areas, and those carriers are much cheaper. Google actually combines those two carriers into Project Fi, which costs much less than $30/GB (I think it's $10).
It's simply that old non sequitur: it's 2016 and you shouldn't do X anymore. That's really their main argument. Stop using a 200 year old technology, even if it still works fine.

Wordpress. Add theme. Change what you don't like by Googling stuff. Get site built.

There is not a lot of utility in HTML + CSS on its own, unless you want 1996 style web pages that are static.

Knowing HTML is one thing, being able to build something in Wordpress will be far more CV worthy.
It also seemed odd that it implied that whatever the new structure is does not include meritocracy. Does "meritocracy" really mean "no managers"?

He was so furious that he bought a second iPhone which had the same fundamental design decisions and would fail in the same way if he got it repaired by a non-Apple repairer. No wonder Apple doesn't give a damn about this - everyone is just buying a new phone from them.
As someone who grew up with a C64 and programmed them, I can totally appreciate this. The C64 had ROM basic at the same address as part of the physical RAM.

I developed software called CNet BBS back in the day, and the software, written in assembly, would constantly switch the basic ROM interpreter in and out to simulate a multi-tasking environment allowing basic programs to run along side a mini OS.

I absolutely love the sound of his keyboard!

I wonder if TempleOS could find practical applications in the embedded world as an RTOS.

I currently am working with Jacinto J6 processors which are multi-processor devices. They have two ARM A15 cores and 4 ARM M4 cores (called IPUs). My work involves running Linux & Android on the A15 cores while bringing up a hardware monitor on the M4 cores. I looked at several possibilities such as uCLinux, FreeRTOS, and a commercial product called uVelOCity by Green Hills.

Something like TempleOS might feed this need for what appears to be a market of CPUs needing a small RTOS running along side another OS.

For the interested, there is also this project:

To be fair, there are a lot of sweeping theories and conclusions in history, archaeology and paleontology that rest on some very thin reeds. The further back in time you go, the more it's like trying to figure out what a 1000 piece puzzle looks like based on a half-dozen random pieces. The more pieces you find, the better chance you get that something will fit together and have a decent chance of being a good sample of the whole, but making definitive, generalized conclusions from such paltry, fragmentary evidence is dubious at best, and very suspect to influence from whatever preexisting biases you brought with you. It's the blind men and the elephant.

Science and engineering is easy. You want to study something and observe it's properties? Build it, run an experiment, and do it. Do it a dozen times, or a hundred. You have the luxury of amassing a supply of data that is orders of magnitude better than what an archaeologist could collect from a lifetime of digging up middens and graves, so there's far fewer blanks to fill in with supposition and conjecture.
In some part it can be simple ease of use.

Most larger companies will not use a third party cloud service to host their code like github.com. They want software to run locally on their own servers instead.

Github offers their software to enterprise customers to run on their own servers, but they traditionally have done a bad job doing it, at least relative to gitlab. Today, dozens of open projects and even closed ones are using personal gitlab instances, but since the ecosystem is more open on gitlab contributions come back in to make it a much more friendly tool to self-host.

Tons of larger companies favor gitlab for exactly that reason.
The monetary theories come from E.C. Riegel and Thomas J. Greco.

Both models are fine. Private currencies have historically come from a variety of institutions. You could have a particular mutual credit bank issuing certificates convertible to a valued commodity as an incentive for locals to trade in and coordinate infrastructure renovation or other projects. You could have labor vouchers redeemable for some hourly or other unit of work, as Josiah Warren tried them.

Right now there are models like CES and time banking that are somewhat active but highly limited as a result of jurisdictional constraints.

There's no particular limit to level of subsidiarity or type of currency. Local currencies have a history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_currency#Characteristics

What a lot of commenters seemed to miss is that the remote work policy applies exclusively to senior managers.

Senior managers are no longer allowed to live afar and must report to the office.

These are the people that are usually on a separate bonus plan and receive an order of magnitude more stock options. It seems totally reasonable that they should have to come into the office.
If you try writing a technical book as a woman, other women will discourage you, saying, "No one will buy a computer book written by a woman."

That's not an internal presentation, it explicitly says it's "a diversity training talk held at a different company". She works for GitHub, but we don't have any evidence GitHub explicitly endorses those views.
First Sourceforge went over to the dark side. Next, Github? This is a huge setback for open source.

We need federated open source hosting, where several companies all host the important projects, they all stay in sync, and any client can go to any service for any operation.

That is a terrible title to use for that essay.

I'm guessing most people didn't read it through, everything was well written, cited and not vulgar. Ultimately it touches that we need to adjust our values as a society and move away from just raw wealth to more intangible things that are not currently modeled effectively in economics. Things like family, community, feelings of respect and dignity for your self and others.

The title might be off putting but the content of the essay is solid
> Most mature languages have either ORMs or some database abstraction libraries

And a lot of them really suck, too, because it's a hard problem. I'll take query builders or raw SQL over ORMs any day of the week.
Good. I hope that's all "intelligent blending" means. Too often, that's a euphemism for "making ads look like more non-ads" to fool the user, with "progress" measured in metrics like how often they get clicked on -- which is, by any reasonable measure, a dark pattern.

And LinkedIn certainly does that kind of thing (example: sponsored posts on the front page inserted between posts from people I know, formatted identically, differentiated only by a medium-gray-over-white "Sponsored.")

But glad to hear that in this case you just mean showing fewer ads to those who don't click on them.
Finally, a Better Way to Search GitHub
I mainly use(d) GitHub to have projects to show to potential employers. What could you recommend that would present well?
I installed textmate 2 for S and Gs. I have to say it is elegantly impressive. Many not all of the bundles many would need. My only gripe I miss it on Linux. Sublime Text ubiquitous nature is a big attraction in this regard.
In some IoT scenarios you could afford losing a little bit of data. For instance this component does it with MongoDB https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-orion
If people are paying for it, that means there's a market for it. Most products fail because they don't solve a problem, and not because they don't get built.

So, if you can find sufficient differentiators (or the market is big enough), I'd say yes. Otherwise no.
>There are some studies pointing to mass migration being (slightly) detrimental to the wages of low-income natives, but that's pretty much it.

Why is "mass migration beats down the working class" not bad enough to warrant restricting it?
Maybe Google Ventures will end up investing in Gitlab, or some similar startup down the line. It seems like it would be a decent hedge, and possibly cheaper than developing and/or running it themselves.
As a maintainer of a popular and actively developed open source project, I would totally use the app to respond to issues and pull requests if it were usable. Unfortunately, the app is a dumpster fire, so I just use github.com.

If you do use android for development, you wouldn't need a github app to push your code to github. You would need a git app, and several great ones exist.
The presence of a leader means there is a market, which is a good sign.

> I would love to learn, I'd class it as a success if it paid for its own hosting and made me more than say $100 a month

That implies reasoned thought will never win out over the wisdom of crowds - was Pasteur a "super smart academic type"? By this logic commonly-held superstitions trump data resulting from experiment.

It also fails to recognize the experience of people who aren't in the majority. Many of my acquaintances would say the best way to improve safety for bicyclists is to outlaw cycling (I'm sure the less pleasant among them would support this), but we have the right to travel for a reason.
Feminism wasn't always as intersectional as it is now. For a long time it was dominated by white women who wanted more equality ignoring and sometimes even opposing equality for people and women of color. Suffragettes are a very good example of this problem.

There are a few people now that feel a similar thing is happening in the tech industry right now as well. In that diversity is promoted only in so far as it helps white women but not any other underrepresented groups.
To even express that it's absurd will likely brand you as a racist. What in the fuck is happening?

It definitely doesn't sound right. I'm hoping/wishing that this quote was taken out of context. Can anybody with more insider context elaborate?

I'm very interested in the "internal cultural battle" over diversity issues at Github, because my school's CS dept. is having a lot of dialogue lately with similar rhetorical arguments. Teaching Assistants recently had a mandatory student-run training session that I perceived to be frighteningly one-sided.

Besides the photo, what else did the talk discuss?
Even the decision to show the image of the scotch collection is subtly (actually, not so subtle) using our ideas of appropriative work culture to lead us down the path of believing how terrible GitHub is.

It is Verizon's responsibility to make a reasonable effort to provide that 300 Mbps to the Internet that the customer paid for, especially as content providers are bending over backwards to give Verizon that capacity for free.

This was also a point brought up in a recent talk [1] on software engineering, and what has happened since the "software crisis" was recognized in 1968.

The speaker, Mary Shaw, talks about Design Guidance, and how a decision chart is "a better organization of a body of design decision knowledge" [starts 27:40] and how we still, desperately, need something like that, and that there aren't any better ways to communicate such knowledge, that the speaker is aware of, than "this ancient chart."

Indeed. This is the essential difference between capitalism and corporatism (sometimes called crony capitalism). Corporatism is insidious. It enables established players to control markets by manipulating regulations through political favors and disabling competitors through predatory positioning or pricing. It's very unfortunate that many people (including myself in the past) throw out the entire history of prosperity building that capitalism has enabled by conflating it with corporatism. Much of the sentiment driving the distaste for disruptive innovation thinking it will cause a race to the bottom directly supports incumbent large corporations and corporatism. It's easy to fall prey to this, because the narrative can easily have compelling stories of the human harm caused by technical innovation.
