Plenty of alternatives are self-hosting, but that's neither here nor there. Even if it's a major effort to port e.g. the Python interpreter to a new platform (particularly the first new platform - once you have a C codebase that enforces portability over many platforms it's much easier to add a new one). But that major effort has by and large been done for even relatively obscure languages and relatively obscure platforms. Whereas if you write in C you get to do that major effort for yourself for each program.
None of what he wrote applies to any of the large advertisers which comprise 95%+ of Google's ad revenue. I can see some of it applying to tiny inconsequential mom and pop advertisers.

Of course performance/direct-action advertisers would not bid per impression if they wanted clicks or conversions (they would bid for clicks or conversions), and if they were a brand advertiser they would pay for views and monitor brand awareness metrics (https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/3499086?hl=en). And they would also monitor their placement reports and filter out low quality sites if they wanted. And YouTube is growing rapidly and that is not ignorable.

Also, Google search ads still account for most of Google's ad revenues.

IMO this is a very sensationalist article which greatly exaggerates advertiser ignorance and platform mischief.

Couple problems -

1) you can see which sites (or even specify) which ones show your ads.

2) if you're doing it correctly, you're looking at ROAS (return on ad spend), so the type of site doesn't matter - just how well the ads return.

3) this mostly only relates to people who don't know what they're doing w/ ads.

This guy explains it better than me: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PotMuZ7uH4k

In no other medium other than online are you expected to immediately purchase or find out more after seeing an ad. For example, look at the ads on the edges of football matches, for big companies the decision to put an ad there is more about the cost of not being there than anything else. You're seeing a similar decision being made with Google search ads, as sites battle for top place on a Google search.

Online ads may not be perfect, but the decisions behind buying ads are more complex than the writer suggests. It's not all going to disappear when someone reveals all in a blog post, give advertisers more credit than that.

Thanks for linking to libpipeline; I didn't know about it. The API looks good. However, since it is licensed under the GNU GPL (the initial version was based on code in GNU troff) non-copyleft libraries like ImageMagick are unlikely to adopt it.

If you are looking for a small, standalone, non-copyleft alternative, the closest I can think of is the [exec] command in the Jim Tcl [1] embedded scripting language.

Here is an example (without the error checks you'd have in production code):

#include "jim.h"

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
Jim_Interp *interp;
int error;
Jim_Obj *cmd;

interp = Jim_CreateInterp();
Jim_RegisterCoreCommands(interp);
Jim_InitStaticExtensions(interp);

// The input redirect below does *not* invoke the POSIX shell. It is handled by Jim Tcl itself.
cmd = Jim_NewListObj(interp, NULL, 0);
Jim_ListAppendElement(interp, cmd, Jim_NewStringObj(interp, "exec", -1));
Jim_ListAppendElement(interp, cmd, Jim_NewStringObj(interp, "awk", -1));
Jim_ListAppendElement(interp, cmd, Jim_NewStringObj(interp, "1", -1));
Jim_ListAppendElement(interp, cmd, Jim_NewStringObj(interp, "<", -1));
Jim_ListAppendElement(interp, cmd, Jim_NewStringObj(interp, "/etc/passwd", -1));

error = Jim_EvalObj(interp, cmd);
if (error != JIM_ERR) {
printf("%s\n", Jim_String(Jim_GetResult(interp)));
}

Jim_FreeInterp(interp);
return error;
}

While I am a fan of the language and of the "hard and soft layers" approach in general [2], it is a commitment: it requires you to embed the language runtime in your program and learn the basics of the scripting language itself and its C API. The upside is that Jim Tcl's [exec] works on Windows, too (and you get other goodies with Jim like a fast, high quality implementation of strings and hash maps).

Alternatively, you can use the "big" Tcl [3] as a C library. It's larger but more mature and is available in every major Linux distribution.

"Building culture" seems like an euphemism for romanticizing the workplace to squeeze more productivity out of employees without spending too much money on supplementing salaries.

Interestingly, It's kinda like academia in that way. Academics romanticizing research as being some kind of virtuous or nobel pursuit to justify their shitty wages and lack of personal time. (source, I am an academic)

I guess we all become devout monks of our own domain at some point in our careers until we realize the bullshit "culture" that was perpetuated, ultimately in the employer's interest.
I remember reading this:

http://www.zocalopublicsquare.org/2011/11/30/how-doctors-die...

It moved me greatly, and also resonated because shortly after a friend of mine at the time, a cyclist with a wonderful personality and charisma, was diagnosed with a stomach cancer and within two weeks, on New Year's Eve, he died.

I remember him in hospital, he knew what was coming, had taken his last ride, had refused chemo, and was now in bed dying. I remember vividly how he comforted another friend who was crying, he was in bed, in pain, and told the other friend it would be alright. How the pain wasn't so bad now, and how he would be riding soon (when he knew full well he wouldn't and the pain was causing him to wince).

It occurred to me how much he, in those last days, did more to calm and comfort the people around him, how he took so little from them.

And it occurred to me how much joy he had in those last few rides, the sun on his skin as he glided around country lanes just South of London.

It reinforced what I'd read about how Doctors die. Reinforced my personal view that life is more than a number of days. Just as work is more than a salary alone.

My wife knows of this opinion and choice, she's very strongly communicated the same opinion, and even the manner and form of her funeral.

We choose to go when the time has come, and to live life fully until that moment. Some things we would live with, but other things, with a terminal prognosis, we would embrace as the striking of the final hour. Instead of spending that hour attempting to lengthen it, we choose to live and savour every moment of it.

"Can these women save Silicon Valley?" [1]

Whoa. This group has some bold positions.

I think it's great for women to encourage each other and other underrepresented groups to join tech. I also think it is true that some youth get inspired to study tech when they see successful professional people with whom they share something in common. And, I believe that some level of diversity is a useful part of education and the advancement of society.

That said, I wonder what is reasonable to expect of companies that are separate from government. Should the percentage of LGBT for a given job match that of the local community who is skilled in that job? What if certain companies are popular among LGBTs? Should their competitors be chastised for not being able to hire enough LGBT from the local community? It all sounds too complicated to monitor in bulk. Cases of discrimination are just that -- case by case. US law already protects people from being discriminated against during hiring and employment. And while it may not work out to everyone's satisfaction 100% of the time, the US is miles ahead of China, for example, on this front.

> Companies should improve opportunities for all employees, including all underrepresented groups (gender, race, class, age, religion, disability, education, sexual orientation, and others).

I'm confused by this statement. They want companies to give equal opportunities to all people. Isn't this already covered by law? Companies cannot discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin [2].

Also, what is the education group? Like, non-high school grads, high school and college grads?

The more I read about it, the more it sounds like they are saying "please create more jobs for more people".

Maybe it will become more clear when they start to share data and reports.

Ultimately, we're all part of some group that is persecuted by others, even wealthy white folks. We all get depressed and blame it on our environment from time to time.

The most important thing is that these values of equality are ingrained in the laws of society. And in the US, they are. Each year they get better. Gay marriage was passed, and we're now attempting to make some simplifications to the ginormous lawbook with things such as Basic Income. That's natural. It's a result of us collectively realizing that piece by piece we put together a puzzle that says "support everyone".

It's a customer's decision, not a developer's one. A one liner like the one in the post should be added at zero cost by any developer, but more important optimizations compete with the budget of the features that sell the product of the customer. In my experience customers want features first, optimizations last and only if the unoptimized app/site runs too slow on their devices. And developers don't like to work for free.

>Do you think terrorists would stop to think about your family before blowing themselves up? Think they thought that in Belgium? France? He's saying that they don't play by any rules and thus we can't win unless we really crush them.

No I don't, but I also think that terrorists would kill billions of innocent civilians if they could. Does that mean I think it's OK for us to kill billions of innocent civilians to stop them?

The terrorists do it too is not a valid defense for anything.

>He's saying that they don't play by any rules and thus we can't win unless we really crush them.

He's saying "We have to take out their families". There is no other meaning there. He is advocating committing a war crime.

Fair is an anti-immigration group. The SPLC even lists them as a hate group. Whether you believe they are actually a hate group, they're definitely not purveyors of unbiased research.

But that's what I mean when I said you can't prove conclusively whether illegal immigrants are a net economic benefit or drain. The only people doing research on the issue are biased, and there are too many variables. You can find plenty of studies by pro-immigration groups that say they contribute more to the economy than they take. Just like you can find plenty of studies by anti-immigration groups that say the opposite.

I think the main issue with documentation for Microsoft products/APIs is that the content is spread out on a large number of different Microsoft domains which makes it inherently difficult to find something. I have also often found (after using google to find the relevant article) that the content is either out of date or not relevant anymore.

Adding yet another site to the list of sites which might or might not have up-to-date content is not going to fix that issue. What they need is a central, properly searchable and well-maintained repository that spans all of their products.
