We're smart, fun, and a little bit weird. Does this sound like you?
I do believe freedom of press is the way moving forward. However at the same time, restricting rumours (actual rumours that have no grounds or basis) for the time being would help for people who have less discretion to be better informed.

> But yes, if someone is finding the pressure of an activity graph and "breaking a streak" is negatively impacting their work-life balance, I think they likely have a problem.

So your misplaced value judgements, loaded language and dismissals aside... You realize that just because you might not value it, that it isn't being used to value you?

Lots of employers use github activity as a signal for hiring. And so making sure you can demonstrate very active participation in the community is often quite important to getting a job.

Even then, given that overwork seems to be something of an epidemic in the software industry and the entire industry is famously full of signals suggesting that a 60 hour work week is normal and reasonable (hell, somehow they decided that working on saturdays wasn't enough, now people say you need to work 8.5 hours every day to be "normal" and 11 hours a day is "crush")?

The signal and the reward for more work isn't healthy after some point. There is an environment around github that github has to consider.
I sincerely hope so. Every single company has to be April Fools and they are never cute or funny. Worst. Holiday. Ever.
Don't bust on Delaware. My NP is registered in Delaware, as is the Apache Foundation. Now, 5 years later, I wish I'd registered first in CA, but being in DE is not a black mark. I did it there because Apache was there, so I figured, good enough for them, good enough for us. Additionally, most US businesses are registered in DE.

Lmao so hard rn. Too many puns/memes/jokes in this comment I can't even translate it.

Been living in China for 10+ years and in the us for 10 years, Chinese memes are some next level shit.

And also, western media is kind of a joke. Xinhua puts a weibo saying don't spread rumors(it's comment section is full of jokes and satire, mind you), Washington post be like 'China bans April Fools Day'. Same things happened again and again, and will happen in the future.
Yeah I stopped using MS Office when the "ribbon" was introduced, and on the rare occasions when I have to use it now it always seems to look completely different from what I remember, I'm completely lost and I find that common functions seem to be utterly undiscoverable.
But its a real thing - both peer pressure and the pressure of your own expectations.

So the post is definitely worth pondering over and not to be discarded.

I have reviewed multiple intern resumes in the past year and for sure anyone having a solid contribution graph on github would only have stepped up in the shortlist.

So to be dismissive about this issue is just not right.

Original support request: 2016-03-31

Subject: Credit expiring soon- your assistance is appreciated

Hello there! I have $100 of credit with you. I just found out on an email that it will be expiring in a month due to a new policy. Is there any way to prevent this credit from expiring?

Thanks for your help and consideration!

Reply from (Support Team) Yesterday at 7:09 PM

Thanks for reaching out! We certainly understand your concern here, as we're just beginning to enforce the expiration of unused credit after making the change last year. We see that you haven't used DigitalOcean or the account credit just yet; while we're not able to change the expiration date for credits, or allow credit to expire more than a year in the future, we'll be glad to add another $10.00 credit to your account as a one-time courtesy to help you get started. Moving forward, however, please note that any unused balance from promo credits (including this one) will expire 12 months after being redeemed.

Let us know if you have any other questions and we'll be happy to help!

> That said, based on what I know, the answer is to whitelist the TOR IPs

That's an option CloudFlare is offering to their customers now.

> give TOR users a global session that the user has the option to opt into (likely make sense for TOR publish what the impact of this is and Cloudflare to link to it in from that page) and always let users know a global session is set in case the user believe that using TOR they reset the session

Has this been researched or suggested by the Tor project at all? I think it's fairly dangerous to suggest CloudFlare starts offering something like this before it has been vetted.

> I fail to see how restrictions on encryption software would have a different outcome.

The enforcement of any law passed would of course be impossible.

The reason we fight it is the implications. While our government and people depend on access to such encrypted communications, our society won't be focused on the right kind of ways to keep each other safe.

So, we should educate each other on the facts and prepare each other for a future where more and more criminals will communicate in hidden ways. On balance, we will be better off with encryption, because there are more good things that come with it than bad. But the bad things are something we can either choose to prepare for, or pretend they do not exist. I choose to prepare.
Flagship Brain Project Releases Neuro-Computing Tools
> Going with the mask analogy, they should instead check if a person is brute forcing lock combinations. Maybe even condition on the fact that they're wearing a mask.

That's what they're doing. They are seeing brute forcing come from a bunch of IPs and they're blocking those. What do you expect them to block on? The people using the anonymous service voluntarily identifying themselves on every request (cookies, browser fingerprinting, or pretty much anything else coming from the client side that can be faked)?

Let's say you're Red Hat, and want to release a super critical security fix for some package, but you absolutely cannot restart the affected process. This technique allows you to write some code that redirects functions to fixed versions, patching the process while it runs.

Stealth Consumer IoT Company | San Francisco, CA and Austin, TX (US only) | Lead Embedded Engineer, Lead Android Applications Engineer

ABOUT

We're a seed-funded stealth consumer electronics company that's building a product poised to change the way people experience their homes and bring them material improvements to their health and well being. The opportunity is enormous, making our work exciting, challenging and rewarding when we look at how our company stands to make people's lives better. We're a small team so you'll have the opportunity to be a part of the early team and build critical parts of our company.

OUR CORE VALUES

Users Come First- We're building a product for people and our decisions should be made with them in mind.

Be Bold - Our goals are ambitious and so should our solutions. We're not afraid to be different.

Design + Iterate - The best products result from and understanding the problem and honing solutions with user feedback. We want the best answer.

Transparency - We value making decisions and process very open so that everyone can focus on the important stuff.

Distribute Accountability - We make the decisions at the lowest level possible by the people how know the most about them. Make decisions and own them.

Show Not Talk - We focus on results and not activities.

No. It is a fact.

You need to respect China's cultural tradition and socialist core values, which value honesty and integrity over disingenuity.

Yes I understand the culture of pranking may be prevalent in the West but it is certainly not in the roots of China's long culture.
Riot Games - Los Angeles, CA / St. Louis, MO - Onsite - Full-Time - Software Engineer

We make the game League of Legends, which by various metrics is the most played PC game in the world. That means we have some really fun problems that come with operating at scale, worldwide, 24/7.

We're hiring for a bunch of things (http://riotgames.com/careers) in a few locations worldwide, but I wanted to specifically plug my team, Service Availability. We basically manage all the 'behind the scenes' stuff from data centers to backend microservices. It feels like a tech startup within a game company -- many of our engineers have tech-industry backgrounds (Google, Amazon, Netflix, MS etc).

Engineering blog: https://engineering.riotgames.com/

We're solving problems from the infrastructure layer up, making it easy for developers internally to launch and operate services worldwide, regardless of the underlying hardware/cloud. e.g. building a Docker-based cluster, deployment and build tools, microservice frameworks and interoperability standards, monitoring, logging, and other developer-experience type features. We're also working on services that use that stack to deliver awesome new things to players, e.g. the Riot API. We write a lot of Go, which I'm really excited about.

Our culture is also really interesting, especially for a games company. We've got some Fortune awards etc, but the TLDR is: we have work-life balance, we are focused around personal growth, individuals are very empowered to make change and be part of decision making, and we are very feedback-driven. If you like working in a silo we are not the place for you. We value engineering breadth and the ability to level others up.

If you're a gamer with a tech industry background (you don't have to be a massive League of Legends player, but if you hate the game, you probably won't have a great time working here), you like developer platforms, microservices, distributed systems and scaling problems... we should talk. I'm jlees at riotgames dot com, Jellybear ingame, or you can apply via our site.

PS: Working at a games company surrounded by people who love games as much as you do is really freakin' cool.

Whoa, this is big – Tesla on subscription
I noticed this as well but never thought more of it. You're absolutely right. Could be because China doesn't play the "diversity" game and values meriotcracy with Confucius values (Like LKYs Singapore). That doesn't sit well with the SF crowd here. Especially the mods and the Guardian loving faux mod.
I believe Tor is working on a new version of hidden services which would address the first concern.
> Pretty much by definition, a refactor of code should not change its behaviour.

Quite precisely by definition, perhaps for other reasons as well :-P

> My tests usually assert on behaviour observed at the boundaries of modules, so they should still pass during refactorings.

I find the kind of refactoring that most desperately needs the support of tests is changing the boundaries of the individual units. Unit tests can still arguably be useful there in making me clarify the changes I'm making to my interfaces... but they do need changing, and I can't be quite as confident that nothing is breaking if I'm changing both code and tests in tandem.

Sometimes, it depends on who notices the mistake and why.

Consider, a safety first culture can easily penalize someone for showing up to work drunk IF someone notices before a problem shows up. But, if nobody notices till after the fact then they should be free to admit it without problems. Because there where two issues, they where drunk AND nobody noticed. You can't fix the second issue if you don't know it's a problem.
