I might downvote you for that, yes - if you said you were worried that people voting for politicians would facilitate the spread of terrorism in Europe, that would be an entirely understandable point of view.

The fear of Trump is based on what we've learned from history: charismatic leaders, sowing discord and tension, talking about building walls to separate and contain people, trying to rid a country of certain races and religions, have caused the utmost tragedy in recent times. Trump is the one injecting US presidential campaign bullshit into this issue, and that must be countered.

That you think fear of appearing racist is stopping people telling the truth here is telling.

We know why terrorism happens. We've known this for an awfully long time. We don't need unscientific nonsense about how brown people are magically terrorists.

> That said, if your competitor fields a supersonic option, you have to, too, because you'll just lose business class to your comp, which is worse than losing it to yourself.

Honestly, I'm not even convinced that bit's true. Copying what others are doing is often the least effective way of competing. If supersonic premium carriers actually start eating into your business class demand, the sensible, conservative response is to refit your existing transatlantic fleet with more economy seats, refocus it on new routes or consider shedding an aircraft or two. You lose a stream of profit and a touch of prestige, but don't gain the problem of having to profitably operate new aircraft specialised for a highly volatile market segment. Especially when it's a new airframe programme from a no-name manufacturer.

To be honest, in a hypothetical and unlikely near future in which business class priced supersonic transport exists, subsonic premium services will happily coexist alongside them due to better start times, destinations and connections, even on the few routes actually suited for supersonic transport. But yes, there might be fewer flights and higher coach class ticket prices on a handful of routes.

For the most part major airlines didn't benefit from trying to cannibalise part of their existing business to copy [reliably profitable] low cost carriers, and they'll do just fine without the riskier option of supersonic medium haul all-premium flights.

I think (and I've spoken with considerably more commercial airline fleet planners than the average person) the sales challenge with this concept is even bigger than the engineering challenge, which is saying something.

An interview with the BART social media manager
"mySql" is dead to me. Literally. Anything Oracle touches becomes a potential legal liability. Its Maria DB now and although I do maintain a legacy 100GB+ MARIA db, I will never use it again for new projects. The thing about postgres is that once you start using it you understand there is really very little competition in both the open or commercial worlds. My previous big project relied on mongoDB for statistical data. At the time there was no other compelling document database for our use case. Today, this decision is no longer relevant because if I can get the same functionality and performance out of Postgres I will choose postgres. The ability to combine the SQL with "NoSQL" is just too compelling.

Perl is actually more in the "real language" camp, believe it or not: It makes it more verbose to launch other programs than to not launch them, and it doesn't have pipes.

In a shell, any bareword is either one of a few built-ins or an external program. Using a bareword which doesn't correspond to anything isn't a syntax error, because the parser can't know what programs you have installed from moment to moment. That is the biggest difference between a shell CLI and a programming language REPL.

You seem unaware that "market forces" do exactly the same thing, with the difference that it's investors and not workers who demand eternal and infinite inflation-beating returns across the entire economy.

I've long suspected that one of the prime dysfunctions of US corporate culture is the projection of greed, puerility, incompetence, and worthlessness by management onto "lower" workers.

In reality the whole point of being a professional is that you get paid well, you produce good results, but it's not just about the money - because you have an ethic of personal pride in your work, and will over-deliver if you're allowed to.

The worst kinds of corporate management in the US spend an incredible amount of time trying to enforce this state in theory, while simultaneously undermining it in practice.

The best kinds of state ownership around the world prove that it can only flourish in a more mature, stable, and sane environment.

> Before launching an API, you should come up with 5-10 compelling usecases that someone couldn't use your website for.

Disagree. The most important thing by far is to have an API at all. Just being able to build your main site but with a different UI (or as a native program) is a more than good enough use case to make it worth publishing an API.

By all means improve the API if you can, but having one at all is the most important thing. And as people start using it they'll naturally map out the use case space and you can see what cases come up - rather than trying to figure out which interfaces people will need up front, it's much more efficient to respond to feature requests as they arise.

As I posted elsewhere, Norwegian salaries are always pre-tax but are substantially smaller than for similar positions in the US.
But you and I are not taking speaker fees, book royalties, or garnering fame and awards, i.e. directly profiting by the _appearance_ of being against these things, but not leading in any substantive way that befits someone we might reasonably say is an influencer and a leader. Has he even solicited for a formal letter of protest to the university? What about a refusal to appear? If we apply the "well, my sacrifice won't hurt anyone but me" logic to everyone, a billion tiny pursuers of self-interest will continue to keep the system propped up. Is it any consolation that the CEO of BP is an environmentalist in his personal beliefs but acceptable that he followed his stock option incentives to keep costs down by cutting corners on quality checks that cost 11 lives and massive pollution in the gulf of Mexico? I'm not saying it's not an understandable and unfortunate reality that our personal benefit might run counter to our ideals, but that it's less than honest of someone to profit from that stasis on the assumed grounds of having superior insight and moral standing. If there's too much good to be gained from the current system for anyone to give it up, then it might not be all that bad and much more nuanced, if we're going to be honest with ourselves, whereas the vilification is actually counterproductive, as it keeps us from a fuller understanding and movement toward a solution.
Maybe we ought to settle this argument by looking at a completely neutral source:

https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=islam%2C%20terror%2C...

Draw your own conclusion.

Plus I don't think you really want to make this association. Breivik was a (neo-)Nazi (e.g. [1]). If anything he supports the argument that ideology leads to terrorism (it is baffling to me that anyone would ever think it doesn't). I don't think anyone is making the argument that there is only a single violent ideology on this planet.

But I find it weird that to make your point you'd draw attention to the association between terror and ideologies. Because then you'd very quickly arrive at the obvious question : per ideology, how much terror, and at what point do we take action ? Per ideology, how much terror is something the above graph can help with.

What reaction and how will it kill innocent people? Be concrete. You are speaking of a vague hypothetical as if it were a fact.

I know it's trendy to be self-loathing, but I would rather have blood on my hands than someone else having my blood on their hands. An innocent civilian dying due to coalition forces' attempt to combat terrorists is not the same as a civilian being killed by said terrorists.
> Unlike Linux

What? Linux has always had better multiarch support than Windows. Running x86 code on x86_64 has never been a problem on Linux, unless you custom built your OS to exclude it. Not to mention it doesn't require anything like LoL or "Linux on Linux", as you claim Windows seems to.
This really nails the psychological atmosphere of my late 70s-early 80s British childhood. I remember being terrified of rabies thanks to films and posters like the one in the article, and believing that I would one day have to fight the Soviets in some foggy, anthrax infested field. All before I was ten years old!

This diminished as the 80s went on, along with that sense of Orwellian paternalism that seemed to suffuse British life (see films like Scum, If..., The Offence) - Perhaps it was the shadow side of the "cradle-to-grave" era which ended with Thatcher - a welfare state administered by former aristocratic imperialists. I don't know. I was too young to have a handle on it, and like the creator of Scarfolk, the time has a kind of mythological existence for me.

The article mentions how the creator of Scarfolk was inspired by public information films. These were a source of pure terror to any kid who grew up in 70s-80s Britain.

Imagine you are watching something fun on childrens TV, then, out of nowhere a short horror film appears - only, as the authoritarian narrator reveals - this isn't fiction - this is real. You couldn't watch tv without the fear of some horrible thing being shown at random. There were certain times of day when they were more likely and you could feel the dread mounting as they approached.

Here's an example of the wholesome and educational material 80s kids were subjected to:

This scared the crap out of me as a child. If you're at all interested in horror or propaganda then I highly recommend them! There are a bunch of them on youtube.

>App developer here. Patently false. I actually haven't implemented 3D touch in any app. Want to guess how many support requests I've received for it? Zero.

Well, I said "will add it to their apps anyway", Not "already have added it". And I'm talking about flagship apps , the kind everyone has on their home screens, not any random app or developer.

It's not a "no true scotchman" either. Obviously I know that not all of the smaller/casual/fart/etc apps are gonna get it -- heck, I've got several old apps that haven't been updated for even for far more important changes (like Retina assets or larger screen sizes).

So, if you make "Funtime Googly Eyes" or "Milan Metro timetables" you might not add 3D Touch. But apps like Facebook, Twitter, Gmaps, Dropbox, Gmail, Evernote, Instamatic, Flipboard, Procreate, VSCO, etc, are sure gonna add it. (and lots of smaller apps wanting to differentiate themselves too, but all the big ones are getting it sooner or later -- some already have).

For many years all tech companies have, as expected, complied with warrants. We don't expect otherwise.

Now, in this one case, Apple is fighting the warrant.

Well, no, not really. Apple isn't as bad as some, but they still gather too much data and they still (as they should) obey any warrant they're given.

> He realised that the problem with the “Technical Debt” metaphor is that for managers debt can be a good thing

This attitude gets my goat. Technical debt is a strategy that contributes directly to the success of young companies. If you don't share that goal with your manager then he/she should fire you.

Some managers pressure devs into cutting corners for other reasons, but I'd argue that unless some kind of evaluation has been made of both (a) the cost and (b) the value of that shortcut then it isn't technical debt, it's just ignorance (and probably poor communication).
