The post have a comment by the author saying basically this:

"I'm just pointing out that the jobs are here and those folks simply refuse to do them."

Problem is that this is a phenomena you see everywhere regardless of system but in all liberal markets.

The only thing thats consistent is the technology.

The problem when you remove regulation (uber) you end up with lots of jobs that pay less until as with Uber they will all be automated away.

This is the problem and ignoring it by trying to use the typical "there are plenty of jobs" as the Author does is simply refusing to deal with the reality as it is IMO.
Just because a CEO spends their day making high-level decisions because they are literally delegating tasks to tens of thousands of people doesn't mean that they are "resting".

There are definitely some 10 year old bugs, just like there are funny, off-topic, celebratory bugs (https://bugzil.la/1000000). Like callahad said, you can tweak your email settings, and the bugzilla email headers are super easy to filter on.
Swiss town of Zug first to accept Bitcoin for government services
Is attacking their allies inside their territories, breaking, entering, installing viruses and malware against the personal home computers of civilians in allied countries ... is that considered "legal" from a US point of view? Which is what they did to the completely innocent civilian sysadmins of a large Belgian telecom.

Was that US-legal to whistleblow? Was it US-legal to perform acts of cyberwarfare against allies? I mean we all know how the rest of the world feels about it.

You can try and draw a line between legal and illegal behaviour all you want. But that really means very little if that decision, what is legal and what is not, is made by a government/legal/intelligence system that gets away with anything because they are so powerful (torture, war crimes / ignoring the ICC ..). Maybe not a very respectable moral compass to orient oneself by, don't you think?

The so-called illegal parts of Snowden's revelations informed me that basically all my data that ever went over the Internet is considered completely fair game by the US, GCHQ and the other Five Eyes. Other US-illegal parts of Snowden's files told me that MY government is complicit, acting like a vassal state. As far as I understand, that last part is illegal to reveal from the POV of the US, cause it involves their secret intelligence missions and doesn't reveal illegal behaviour of the US Intelligence per se (just those of the Dutch Intelligence).

So please, could you repeat that, to my face?

Is there an actual moral reason why it's wrong to release those files? I believe not, but we could talk about that.

However, if you're going to pick right and wrong on this matter by what is legal and what isn't in the United States, then say it to my face: A non-US person is a second class person, even if they're allies.

You believe it is right for you to know whether your government is doing illegal things or overstepping boundaries in surveillance. But you also believe that I, tripzilch, as a non-US civilian do not have that very same right; to know that my government is doing the very same, a lot of it in service of the US government. Or all the surveillance done for economic espionage? Better keep a lid on it because it only screws over those second-rate, non-US people? The biggest problem with the way that we've been doing thing is, the more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me. Alright!

YouTube says that, I've seen no evidence that they've ever actually punished a false claim, or even prevented that false claim from happening again.

For example, a video of mine was ContentID claimed for a public domain piece of classical music. I successfully contested the claim (the scammers give up quickly because their bread-and-butter is the 95% of victims who YouTube scared away from the "contest claim" button, or who never revisit the video page after posting). About a month later, I re-edited the same video and re-uploaded it, and I got the same fraudulent strike from the same scammer that I'd already successfully contested.
> The thing that sucks about approaching someone is when it is welcome, you are golden, and when it is unwelcome, you are a creep.

I hear you. I actually read a comment here at HN by such a "golden" man and his experiences (women from his workplace approached him often), but unfortunately I cannot find it right now.

Keep the workplace separate from romance. Heck, even outside of the workplace things can be risky (I had been called a stalker by a female neighbor just for existing, uh).
Just remember that language isn't truly normative - in general, one of the best tests for "correctness" is "appears in speech by native speakers". Which is somewhat complicated by the existence of written language. In English, Shakespeare is somewhat famously the inventor of a number of idioms that would probably seem strange at the time, but are now ingrained to the English language, see eg:

The entire "agile" methodology strikes me as a prominent example of a software engineering cargo cult.

Yes, good projects have been executed successfully using agile methodology. No, this does not mean that using agile caused these projects to work out well.

Most agile projects fail, just like most non-agile projects. There is no evidence whatsoever that agile methodology causes projects to work out well -- but there is a whole mini-industry of training, books, seminars, "scrum masters" and so on built around the idea that it does.

Youtubers are already showing (and Camgirls showed long before) that you can, to a large extent, sell friendship. It can be a mass market product, or it can be something fairly niche. A history professor with a hobby for Collectible Card games made a successful transition into a youtube webseries host[1][2]. I give some money each month to eSports personalities like Day[9], TotalBiscuit, Neuro; each of whom address their viewers as friends (with cute nicknames). Twitch is a media empire built entirely around this interaction, but Youtube's success with PewDiePie and Markiplier is essentially the same thing. People are willing to pay to watch friends being friends - Most of RoosterTeeth's entertainment product is basically just that.

But we've also seen niche markets be more effectively catered to. I'm running up a decent bill on Patreon each month, less than I would for a cable subscription, and I feel somewhat overwhelmed by the interactions I am having, even if they're somewhat passive.

I see the future of work looking a lot like migrant laborers sending remittances does now, but with a very different scale and breadth. A lot of mid-sized communities (small towns), where there's a single major breadwinner and a bunch of entertainment and services to support them, but without the vassalage that this lead to in the past because of the interconnectedness of the social graph and the amount of flexibility that allows.

The new social structures are going to look somewhat between an extended family and an orgy. The social ties are moving from fixed points like blood and religion into common interests and value sets... which are well predicted by the old indicators, but not exclusively tied to.

I just hope that we survive it, because the re-org will not be pretty. Tribalism and fear of the unknown are still powerful factors, even if the widening of personality-space has weakened them.

If this was "after hours" between two adults? Was it a couple comments, that got rebuffed (You think I'm cute? Thank you, but I'm not interested) and was then dropped? Was it repeated comments that continued after "she" said no?

I wouldn't use those terms with someone at work, during working hours... I wouldn't think it's earth ending to compliment someone after hours, outside of the work place (The terminology is a bit strong for my tastes, but assuming it is intended to be "complementary"... depending on how "comfortable" I was with someone, I might use similar terms if I "read the situation" as "she might be interested")

I'm all for "fire for harassment"... but is this really harassment (continued after refusal)? Or is this a one time thing that happened when hanging out after hours that ended upon request?

"Context is irrelevant" is a bit short sighted, because context - and responses of all involved - is completely relevant..

Building on pjmp's comment, this quote...

"The question is, why are there not more languages that have the same paradigm, but also add basic memory safety, avoid spurious undefined behavior, provide namespaces, with a non-stupid standard library, etc.?"

...basically just described Modula-3. It meets your requirements, was easy to read, had concurrency, had decent stdlib which had some formal verification, and could act as low-level as you needed with "UNSAFE" keyword. Brilliant design given all tradeoffs it balanced. It had some commercial uptake and was used in CVSup for FreeBSD.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modula-3

Note: Important to not ignore it once you see "garbage collection." The GC was optional with a single keyword determining whether you or it handles a specific variable. Let's one pick and choose their battles with fate. :)

Note 2: The Obliq distributed programming language was an interesting project based on Modula-3. The SPIN OS, written in Modula-3, let you link code into a running kernel in a type-safe and memory-safe way for reducing context switches for performance.
So, is it still true to say, "You wish you could express your business logic with pure functions. But often you can't because the lack of immutability hurts performance in various ways. But ELM creates a 'sandbox' in which you can do so, by letting you write functions which work over time varying streams instead of stateful callbacks."

If not, which parts changed / how would you revise it?
I sometimes read only the comments and not the article. I think that's a bad thing :-(
They've added escrow for situations where the video remains viewable, but ad revenue is claimed.

OP says his video was struck from the site entirely. Escrow wouldn't have helped him.
Pitt grad here, though a decade after the OP. Pitt has 3 courses related to this stuff:

* CS 447: http://cs.pitt.edu/schedule/courses/view/447
* CS 449: http://cs.pitt.edu/schedule/courses/view/449
* CS 1550: http://cs.pitt.edu/schedule/courses/1550

447 and 449 are required, 1550 is optional.

447 is almost entirely MIPS assembly, and goes into hardware architecture as well https://people.cs.pitt.edu/~childers/CS0447/

449 is a C class, using K&R 2nd edition: https://people.cs.pitt.edu/~jmisurda/teaching/cs449/2164/cs0...

1550 is more specifically about operating systems, using Tanenbaum's book: https://people.cs.pitt.edu/~jmisurda/teaching/cs1550/2164/cs...

So at least today, there's one class that's all C stuff. Almost all of the rest was Java, while I was a student.

Maybe getting a little more traction. Just spoke with a few VCs who seem super excited about what we're building. Funny thing is that I met these SV VCs & PE folks in LA & subsequently over here. They promised to line up intros to Google Ventures and other in the Bay Area.

That, combined with targeting angels via AngelList seems like a good combo. But it's still weird that there isn't a more obvious path. (Of course there's the YC lottery)

The thing I think both Mozilla (it seems a few of you hang around here now) as well as others should understand is making certain feature switches available for end users.

Just because something isn't for everyone doesn't mean you can make a browser for everyone by removing said feature for everyone.

This should be obvious but thanks to what seems to be a certain kind of ux designers we are now stuck with lots of pixel perfect and consistent but otherwise broken and unusable apps.

Although this is an interesting post, I'm disappointed from a pedagogical point of view. The article covers these topics, in this order:

1. What book do we assign?

2. What should we lecture?

3. What sort of code review work should we have students do?

4. What kind of assignments should we use? But only to say that he won't cover it in the article!

This is the almost the exact opposite order of what is most useful in terms of learning. Yes, some people (especially auto-didactic and well-focused students) are able to learn tremendous amounts on their own through books. But they are a relatively poor tool for teaching, compared to active learning methods. Lecture can be great, but usually is passive and worse than useless.

I want to acknowledge the importance of defining what you will teach and what successful (end-of-course) students look like and how to assess them. After you've decided that, it is proper to devise assignments and assessments, and then to decide on lectures and supplemental materials that support students in completing the assignments and assessments successfully. The time students spend should be active and practical - not that readings can't be provided, but they should be on-point and meaningful. Proper application of Instructional Design principles and theories of learning can make a world of difference for students.

But kudos for thinking about it, kudos for thinking about feedback mechanisms, and kudos for

As far as web standards go, Gecko's the only open-source browser controlled by a nonprofit. The alternative is a webkit monoculture, a world controlled by Apple and Google (oh, and Microsoft).

I agree Haskell will stretch my mind on the subject when I get around to learning it. It's exactly that reason that I've put it off for so long. ;)

Far as industry, I'm not feeling as strong doubts as you looking at the quantity and diversity of this list:

There's some real ass-kicking going on in industry with Haskell even if it's niche use and has obstacles/issues from that perspective.

I do that too at times.

Sometimes I'm more interested in the tech scene's opinion on an article than the actual article itself.

Other times, if an article is excessively long, or is a video, I look for someone that summarised the gist.

On that note - am I the only one who would prefer to read transcripts of videos than watch videos themselves? Specifically news sites that only have the video report and not any accompanying text.
> I mean, YouTube has nothing to gain from making life difficult for content creators - they are acting in this way because they have essentially been compelled to.

To be fair to YouTube, their ContentID system is better now than when it was launched. (Now it'll actually tell you where in the video the infringing content supposedly is, and allow you to do automatic audio-replacement in some cases.) And to be fair, they've finally implemented an escrow system that can help for some false ContentID strikes.

But they've still taken no action I can see to reduce the number of fraudulent ContentID strikes. Creators have a "three strikes, you're out" system; ContentID claimants seem to be able to push out millions of false claims with absolutely no response from Google.

If I'm liable to lose access to my account for using someone else copyright without permission, than I see no reason a ContentID claimant should get off scot-free for claiming someone else's copyright (or a public domain work) without permission.

If there was some enforcement of that in place, I'd call the system "fair". As-is, it's grossly unfair.
