We use ReviewBoard, which allows you to tag both a group and specific members of the team with review requests.

I generally tag more than one person, and if possible people who know that bit of the code. I wait until I've had two signoffs (with verbal badgering if people are being slow; we are all near each other in an open plan.)

I will often find myself holding out for the one person who "owns" that bit of the code before pushing the patch, though.

One suggestion that we tried: People agree to do check for assigned reviews first thing, and as they return from lunch. This way people aren't interrupted from their development flow by the reviews.
This was leaked to journalists, not dumped on the web (similar to the Snowden leaks) so no, almost certainly not.
+1 to design docs and feature flags. We started to keep design docs in the repo, too and have the design review process work the same way (if slower) code review does. So far so good.
I - as a man - would love to have an automatic full-blown blood test every month without going to the doctor
Wow. Wow. Wow. This is the honest and most useful advice to managers. Thanks very much for speaking out my mind.
> The press wants their own piece after they lost the previous major leaks completely.

The information is being released by 100 different news organizations in 100 different countries. It has nothing to do with protecting their jobs from "Internet sleuths", it's having professional journalistic standards.
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the good work the NSA has done in respecting the privacy of tax evaders.
> This is a multi-state G20 planned leak and not the work of some moral insider or hacker, the money laundering world is becoming a difficult place and for good reason.

I agree

And of course those in the know are moving to hide their assets somewhere else

It's interesting to watch how different authors write about this. With so much information, it will be almost impossible to write something without sounding biased.

I bet we see some really awesome journalists emerge from their unique and in depth coverage of the information available.
I'm glad to see such an active Swift community. There are a few too many newsletters though however. I actually subscribed to the Swift.org mailing list and it's terribly difficult to follow. It's like reading a giant email thread. Actually, that's exactly what it is. It's pretty unpleasant and it definitely detracts me (and I imagine others) from contributing to the conversation. The thing is though, that's really the only newsletter I want to follow. I personally get a bit anxious about submitting my email to yet another newsletter. I have no idea what's being done with my email address or if it will be used for profit.
The heads up was given a long time ago, you won't find their names in the leak, it's kinda funny Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson is being outed, I guess he didn't get the memo on account of his recent actions.

So what about scientific textbooks? Not undergraduate ones, but the really narrow topic ones that are used in graduate classes as reference materials for professionals. They're frequently written by author(s) who are partly to fully funded on government grants, and they too are very expensive, as some journal articles are. Are these fair game for distribution on Sci-Hub too?
> This is all about violating a license/copyright law. If we were talking about a large company using GNU/copyleft code and not sharing their changes back to the community, many people in the community would be demanding the law get involved

Companies: not sharing their changes back to the community

Publishers: not sharing the papers with everyone willing to do research

I see a parallel...
Strictly speaking: none of those commands were "included in the distribution" when it came to OS/2. There were of course ports of those commands to OS/2, which one could install. But none of those came in the box.

I believe that that was also true for AmigaDOS, even the post-Commodore versions, but I don't have the firsthand knowledge to state it unequivocally.
The 15th century Roman Catholic Church would totally back this Kickstarter.
> If anything it is in the academics' best interest to have their papers show up on this service as it increases access and probability of citation.

Most people I know (myself included) are very happy to see most of their papers on sci-hub. We couldn't care less about how people find them, as long as they're cited.

> You are aware that academics make 0 dollars off of content submitted to journals right?

And yes, in fact, in my field, publishing costs ~$2500 per paper. More if it's open-access.
This whole controversy is all over "500 listings" !?!?

What if the city just allowed people to build 500 more homes?
May I ask what your reticence is to Ember-CLI?
> You can't tell me all of them are government funded.

The majority are. A minority (<<1% to ~30% depending on field) were (also) funded by private grants and industry. In all three cases, the institution funding the research will receive 0 compensation from the journal if you pay $30+ for a paper. It all goes to the journal and its 40%+ profit margin.

"But why don't competing journals steal their business?"

Because the top few journals are the de-facto clearinghouses and ratings-providers for academics. If you are an academic who values his career, you will pay what they ask.
Of course there are many exemptions. Did you expect them to release the F-22 source code or NSA PRISM architecture?
I typed in a doi to a paper I co-authored, and I was proud to see my work pop up. So it works.
Spending is only good if it is wise. If you tell a company "sorry, you have to spend it now" it is equivalent of telling you "sorry, I don't care if you don't like any house on the market now, you'll have to buy now, you can't wait". That's no freedom, but slavery. Only when you have a choice of hoarding vs spending, then you help the economy to truly grow by providing everyone with the best products and services. Incentivizing spending at all costs simply means creating more useless things instead of making technological breakthroughs and improving quality of life.

When you say "you don't trust Apple" it doesn't matter. Apple made its money honestly. It didn't steal from or rob anyone. More importantly, simply because Apple made so much money, it must mean it knows damn well how to invest it.
If your team uses feature flags, and it should.

The only healthy thing to do, is to set a deadline for each. When the deadline comes around, the code should be deleted, or a very valid reason should be brought up to extend the deadline.
We have three rules which help here.

1. You cannot start a new task before all reviews have been done
2. You need to talk to the author somehow when reviewing.
3 If you've pair programmed you don't need to review.

The first rule makes people allocate time. The second rule takes focus off minutia and moves it more to the issue or imrovement and suggested changes, including architecture.

The last rule is there since we believe that reviewing is a natural part of the cooperation when pair-programming.
Disagree. This way they can perhaps force anyone involved to comment, while blowing everything wide open in public would perhaps make the case revolve around a single case, and not the actual political aspects of the case. Or am I just making stuff up here? In my world this is a great tactic. Danish television will be covering this for a week. If politicians are involved it's probably best to let them comment and do their job first, instead of putting them in the spotlight where they will avoid commenting on the case.
I've looked at reviewboard and so far have found two major problems with it.

1) You cannot create accounts through the API. This makes it really annoying to test and evaluate.

2) It operates primarily diffs. When you have a patch set to review, you really want to see both the overall diff, as well as the individual commits. Then, when you want to update a review with new commits to address comments on previous round, the tools do not allow to do this without manual intervention. At least I haven't found a way to run `rbtools` for review update in full noninteractive mode. Again, this acts counter to integration.

From (workflow) integration point of view these two are pretty big killers. They are also the two reasons we don't yet have RB even in full-scale testing.

I do want to use something that can import copies of git branches so historical reviews are available without polluting the primary gitlab installation with hundreds or thousands of stale branches.
Many men don't realise that women have been "hacking their bodies" since the invention of the pill - thanks to chemistry advances, a lot of us just decide we don't want our period anymore, or choose when to have it. If you ask a bunch of women about the most important invention of the 20th century, the pill (and its modern friends such as the IUD, Depo Provera and implants) usually comes up first.

So since many western women are choosing when to have their periods and we do so often purely for reproductive reasons, such a tampon-analyser would sell very very well. We're already used to being grossed out by our blood by the time we want to reproduce so what's the harm in dropping a used tampon in a cylinder once a month, on top of everything else we do.
DoD work can, in at least some cases, be open-sourced. We had some work with DARPA where open-sourcing was actually mandated in our contract (at our request), and that code was, for a while at least, in active use in the field. Although I guess research is a little different.

Whether or not it's feasible is entirely dependent on the project, though. Something that's ITAR/EAR (or classified) is never going to be open-sourced.

Scientific journals don't necessarily fund research, and groups who fund research don't necessarily benefit from proceeds from journal subscriptions. Funding scientific research isn't as simple as, say, funding startups. A vast majority of scientific research, especially basic research, yields no returns on investment.

The real issue people have with the way journals work is that they seemingly don't provide a great deal of value. Imagine if GitHub worked like a science journal: You would submit your code to GitHub. They might have someone do a code review or run some tests to assure a baseline level of quality. Then they would lock your repository and charge anyone who wanted to see more than just the readme file $30 - $50. All of the proceeds from that go directly to GitHub. You, the author of the repository, get nothing.

A software developer simply would not tolerate this model, but it's the norm in science.
What this presentation doesn't mention is that HotSpot supports automatic conversion of synchronised blocks to TSX transactions already. So if you run the latest HotSpots on the latest Intel chips (note: TSX was disabled for some Haswells) then you are already benefiting from this!

What people found, if I recall correctly, was that a lot of popular software doesn't benefit much because it wasn't written to reduce data contention, and servers especially often contend on statistics and metrics counters. But the slides show ways to avoid that. Also, the most popular software was often already well optimised to reduce lock contention.

The problem I often run into is people making a bunch of comments but not having the confidence to actually make a call (ship or no ship). I think this has roots in the idea of code review as a way to cover your ass when something goes wrong.

This would be nice:
As a reviewer, your responsibility is to say whether the code is shippable or not; the remaining content is simply justification

As a submitter, you determine who needs to see your code, and this is a flexible thing - if you paired with the people who would be reviewing your code anyway, maybe getting approvals from all of them is unnecessary, etc.
Sure, it probably won't get profitable, as Tesla expected less preorders. Investors don't have a problem with that.

The only thing that matters now is whether Tesla can build a great car profitably and cheaply in high amount, not cash-flow.

The researchers generally pay money, often thousands of dollars, to the journals in order to publish their work there. I have literally never heard of a situation where a researcher makes money by charging for access to their research.
Both the British and (especially) German [0] media are virulently anti-Russian. They blame Russians for all of their ills. Societal problems? Blame Russians. Anything that happens in their countries, they manage to find an angle to blame it on Russians somehow. Norway [1] & Sweden are also under a constant paranoia that Russians are just days away from invading them.

But nothing compares to German media when it comes to paranoia about Russians. They're truly in the league of their own. They have tabloids like BILD that devote several pages of every issue on "evil russians". They even print special issues about evil Russians and new Hitler aka Putin.

When I visited Germany last year, I felt like they're in a second Cold War or something. In the US, we managed to stop being paranoid after 1990s but Germans are still paranoid about Russians. It was explained to me by a german friend of mine that this is because their biggest publisher, Axel Springer, was started with CIA money and that every journalist who works for any of the Axel Springer properties has to sign a contract that says that they have to foster the relationship with the US. Unsaid rule is that they have to disparage Russians. And sure enough, if you search for some of this stuff, you can find things like [2] and [3]

Edit : After some googling, I came across this interesting article by Rüdiger Göbel... it sums up things nicely.

Edit #2 : I see my comment is controversial and is being heavily down/upvoted with downvotes winning.

Anyway, to add even more evidence to what I'm saying, see the Twitter feed [4] of Julian Röpcke, who's a 'political editor at BILD'. Go take a look for yourself and start scrolling. Everything that happens in the world, Russians are somehow behind it according to him. Millions of refugees from Syria in Europe? That's because of Russians and Putin (never mind the fact that millions arrived way before Russians started their deployment in Syria). I guess he cannot mention that unrest started after US implemented a policy of destabilizing Assad and funding of various islamic terror organization... because that would be against his pro-US "jounalistic" contract that he signed.

Maybe, but "father of a PM" is not even close to the same thing as "PM". If Cameron's father has done something wrong, that doesn't (shouldn't) affect perceptions of his son. The days of punishing children for the crimes of their parents are long in the past.

Assuming the guy did anything wrong, of course. As these articles note, off shore companies are not illegal.
Sounds like a problem with management. Decisions shouldn't be made around arbitrary ideas like 'sprints'.
Which is why it's good that this massive pile of data is analyzed by a huge load of international newspapers.

This way, papers can selectively publish stuff that won't put themselves in too grave danger - just look what happened to The Guardian with the Snowden leak (visits from three-letter agency officials) or what happens in Turkey, Ukraine or Hungary with media that dares to publish stuff too offensive to the respective regimes.

The situation sucks, yes, but it's the only viable modus operandi for now.
Having participated in the publishing process, I firmly believe the actions of this girl are justified. When what is legal no longer aligns with what is right, the law must change, or else it becomes a joke.
Like Tesla will have any trouble raising cash. Too many people would line up to throw cash at them. They're the new Apple.

Humans are dangerous!
Interesting, time to research Robert K. Merton to understand deeper: "The world is broken, and money always wins. [...] I would like to reference Robert K. Merton, the founder of sociology of science. He studied ethos of research communities. And what he found is that communism is one of the four important ethical norms (along with universalism, disinterested, and organized skepticism) that makes science work. By communism, he meant the common ownership of scientific discoveries, according to which scientists give up intellectual property in exchange for recognition. I think that his work is very relevant to what is happening in science now."
The article itself (despite the sensationalist title) is not extremely insightful - investors aren't expecting an auto-manufacturing startup to be cash-flow positive while quickly scaling production.

In addition the content at times even contradicts the title...

"RBC analyst Joseph Spak, who has a $180 price target, said strong initial orders for the Model 3 could help Tesla achieve positive free cash flow"

...

"In February, the company said it expected to be cash-flow positive in March."

A more accurate title might be: "High Model 3 demand poses growth challenges and an increased need for capital."
>People who don't get addicted to chemical drugs don't get addicted because they have things in their lives (rewarding work, good relationships/sex, religion and other forms of self actualization) which gives them dopamine triggers that are more enjoyable than the drug.

That sounds like something you should back up with unambiguous evidence.
