If the meeting isn't relevant to you, why do you even go to it? Just decline the invitation with your reason.

MMkay, Rails is old and should be replaced. Well... to be replaced you need to use something instead, something at least not worser thann "yesterday’s software". Rails still great software, despite its "super slow" negative fame it still pretty damn good at getting things done (also faster than like 80% php frameworks)

I don't see any competitors out there. Well.... Phoenix looks pretty damn good. Still, with not-so-mature ecosystem (~2k packages vs ~100k for ruby, same goes for SO questions/answers, blog posts etc) it can't be solution for everyone as of yet. So... What's the meaning of
Maybe, but even then the differences between the countries are interesting. As a German, I am unpleasantly surprised we rank so low here.
It's not black/white situation. Sometimes only part of the meeting will be relevant to you. By using laptop or any device you show no respect to the person that organised the meeting but as well you might losse a lot. I agree that people tend to organise to many meetings but doing anything else on that meeting is not a solution. Sadly (as I am developer too) I realised that developers often thing that they are to smart to do anything else to code and this is the only good way of spendign their time.

"Why" is my favorite question. It's also the most important and leads to solutions for 9/10 problems if you just keep asking it. Stop when you get to the root cause that you can fix (not some arbitrary number like 5).

A very good approach.

Frequently talked about, rarely applied.
Yes, this!

As someone who likes to fundamentally understand processes and underlying reasons. It does take some practise though to get at the heart of the matter and propose alternative solutions that work without being abrupt or like "c'mon, etc?". People higher up tend to be rather attached to their solutions even though after chatting for a bit it becomes increasingly obvious a different approach would get them what they want and often reduce human error factors and/or make effeicent :)

I'm figuring this out slowly, getting "it" though.
> people tend to talk about solutions and not the problems

Hard to make this any clearer. To expand a bit on this, most of the times the solutions they talk about are of course expressed in terms of what they already know, which makes communication that much harder. It's a key aspect to keep in mind, and one that ideally both parties, but at least the one that's taking the job, needs to be aware of.

Otherwise it's like visiting a physician and telling them the diagnosis instead of the symptoms.
So many comments segwaying into, meetings waste my time, and I'm a coward who won't address this issue instead, so I have a right to use my laptop cause I'm smart.

Sentinel One's position didn't make sense to me.

> “We were more than willing to work with them, but they didn’t have a way for us,” said Tomer Weingarten, chief executive of SentinelOne, a firm that acknowledges it was cut off from the feed against its will. “This is a step back.”

> Weingarten said SentinelOne had added a new data feed to replace VirusTotal and predicted that VirusTotal will become less relevant as companies are excluded.

Even Microsoft's offering has an "advanced membership" through which they encourage users to share specimen of detected suspicious activity back to the mother ship. If Sentinel One can detect, they should be able contribute back?

Do you have a link to Kevin's post and Maciej's responses at all? I (and I suspect a lot of other readers) completely missed all this, and whilst I'm not very interested in the drama, I am interested in the points you bring up in this post.
For those who thought "tl;dr", I can sum up this entire post in one sentence - "programming is hard and to be effective as a programmer you need to have at least a reasonable amount of knowledge of the language and frameworks you are using".

Hope this helps.
Easier solution: quit demanding "respect" by asking people to pay attention through irrelevant stuff to appease your ego. Some meetings will have things relevant to different groups of people over time, and you don't need everyone's full attention for the whole meeting.

Key quote: "Marx of AV-TEST said that some newer companies secretly relied on data supplied by older companies while marketing themselves as a cut above the older technology. "They are using traditional methods, too," he said. Some of the newer companies said they do not share their evaluations for competitive reasons."

The above sentiment may ring a bell for those of you who follow the news. It's the exact same behavior we heard from Theranos: Startup makes headlines as breakthrough technology, but under the hood nothing works and they rely on decades-old technology for actual testing. When asked about their technology (even by their investors!) their reply is "we can't tell you more because competition."

These garbage companies, shrouded in secrecy and enjoying the hype, should be outed for what they are: snake oil.
The argument you’re making is the same reason why we switched from batch processing to multitask processing.

I've been to hundreds of meetings and I can count on both hands the meetings that were actually important for the team assembled.

I agree with the spirit of the article, but the problem remains that most meetings are, at best, fora for discussing things that could be discussed in a more decentralized manner, and, at worst, complete wastes of time where one person is flexing control muscle in order to inflate their self-importance.

The problem with "meeting culture" is completely unrelated to the problem addressed in the article, except to say that the problem addressed in the article wouldn't be such a problem if the "meeting culture" problem were addressed instead.

Don't call a meeting if you don't really need one. Hint: most projects really only need 2 meetings: one at the beginning, and one at the end. Everything in-between can be dealt with in a much more streamlined manner. This, unfortunately, includes "Agile" development "stand-up" meetings. With the correct tools they become completely unnecessary, and only serve to hinder (or artificially accelerate) development milestones.

I'm sure that there are some teams out there who do this correctly, but I haven't been lucky enough to come across any yet.

Not sure of the original intent, but when I started using Rust I used Rust By Example for finding snippets of things like file io where I get the gist but want to quickly see the pattern or involved parts of the stdlib.

The Rust docs are great, but having a starting point can be super welcoming so you aren't poking around blindly at different types that might be relevant.

Oh wow. That seems like a horrible state of affairs. I've worked in bicycle routing before (Germany) and we had a very good, curated mesh of bicycle paths, tagged for suitability for certain bike types. We also used OSM and previously Navteq for roads to also use for routing and at least in Europe the tagging seems to be mostly useful.

But I can see now why navigation breaks so horribly when all you have is an essentially uncategorised road network.
I don't get the purpose of the article. So the first complaint is that programming was hip but isn't now. Who cares? Do you program because it is hip or did you choose the language, framework and so on because it is hip? I hope not. Maybe if that is one of the concerns, just change the language. Is Nodejs still hip or Go or do you need to program your stack in Swift even before the language is really stable or as an official package manager?

The next complain is that Ruby is slow. Ok, fine maybe you build the next Uber and you need to scale almost unlimited. Then maybe Ruby is not the tool you should use (disclaimer: I know not that much about scalability with Ruby). Before you need to scale you usually need to get to the market and if your stack is easy and fast to build with Ruby just use Ruby and then rewrite critical stuff with "faster" languages. Hopefully everything is faster then and you don't discover that the database is the bottleneck.

Only the last complaint is something I get, debugging and all the gems. That is something I had problems with when doing Nodejs projects too. Still, being able to add just a module that does all the OAuth2 handling and I just needed to add 2 or 3 lines of code was nice.

So in the end, what is the point of the article? Is it just the roadmap of Ruby that bothers you? Is it the Rails community that consists of lazy thinkers (not my opinion)? Or do you see all the people doing fancy and hip stuff like Protocol-based programming and functional programming and you doing still OOP stuff? If that's it, learn a language from those realms and try it, I'm pretty sure you will find those being the silver bullet either.

I know my comment sounds like a rant, it is not meant like that. I'm just wondering what got you to write the article and what is really bothering you. Also, why are so many people afraid to miss the next big thing? While developing and working with a language and framework you're not just learning that particular language and framework but you learn how to approach certain problems, what pitfalls to consider and so on. You can use that with most other language/frameworks again. You didn't waste your time.
It was always ironic going to a school that touted laptops in the classroom as a selling feature, and then having professors demand the lids be closed. I'm divided on the issue, but having a laptop reassures me that I can reclaim my time during a redundant/slow lecture. My alternative of choice, being a lazy student, was to not go to class, going from 20% listening to 0%.

No genuine ones. There are some extremely few ones, but they're all related to "some people use emacs and it's good for you to fit in with them" (for instance, I recall a proof assistant some years ago which was painful to use without the associated emacs mode).

Any advantage gained from the interface are small enough that they're not worth introducing another mental mode for. Any time you sit down at a keyboard and have to mentally remap ("copy works differently here", "shortcuts are different here", "that thing you do all the time must be done in a very different way here"), it's mental capacity out the window. When you do a task, you want your interface to be as similar as possible to the interfaces you're used to when doing related tasks.

Emacs could have become the common, core interface for working on a computer (unlike vi, I'd say) - but it didn't. The common user access standards that you're used to in VS, Eclipse and IDEA did. Spend your time mastering those instead, it will give far more transferable and valuable skills.
Why is there no filter on the intake? It was proposed, but declined by management as "too costly".

Why is it too costly? Because cutting visible costs is perceived as saving money and therefore Good, whereas prevention and maintenance are perceived as unnecessary, because Bad Stuff Just Happens Regardless.

Why? Because people suck at statistics ("if we can't eliminate a risk altogether, there's no point in trying, let's just forever keep fixing the fallout") and because Fixing Broken Stuff Is Someone Else's Budget, Let's Pass The Buck.

Half the things he's complaining about can be fixed by streamlining dependencies.

If PHP can sort out their mess with more modular components, seemingly driven by Composer and Syphony, then I can't see why Ruby can't sort themselves out.
While I tend to lean more to your side of the argument, the devil's advocate in me has to point out the fact that you leave out the massive costs of research, development, clinical trials / fda approval, etc. that go in to getting a drug to market.

This not to mention all the extra capital needed to fund research into all of the drugs that never make it to market before a company finds something that works.
1/1000 x 1/1000 only holds for two independent events. If the gear production and preparation is linked personally, locally, informally, productively ... then the probability of the backup device also failing is larger than 1/1000 if the main one failed.

Not true. I know people (men and women, not that it matters) who regularly discover and explore virgin cave in the UK, France, etc.

Which is why I try to insist on stand up meetings. Not the "agile/scrum" morning status micromanagement stand up meeting, but normal meetings Ie quick architecture design, general discussions, generally around a white board of some type. Standing up will ensure people cant be on their laptop/ipad and will also keep it short.

For eyes forward meetings bring your laptop, they are mostly waste of time anyway.
I strongly disagree with this. I have the inattentive kind of ADHD and the coping mechanism that works for me is to multitask.

Few people are wired to comprehend "tl;dr" versions of stuff -- if the meeting is going for eternity, please don't blame me for not listening.

Terrorism is not a serious or legitimate threat to the vast majority of Americans. Instead, the threat of our government abusing its power under the guise of fighting some imaginary adversary is far worse and has more impact on our lives.

As a comparison, the war on drugs (which a Nixon aid recently revealed was intentionally designed to target his adversaries -- progressives and minorities) has been used as a justification for increased government and police power for years. Now the DEA, FBI, and local police are using parallel construction and keeping their search methodologies out of the purview of the courts.

Even if there is some 'greater good' that our government ideally aims for, the reality of its motivations and actual actuals is far different. Thus, we need not enable further surveillance. If the government wants this data, it is already publicly available and they can build that capacity themselves.

That being said, I agree with most people here that this is mostly for show as they will purchase access through some other means.

The grey area between corporation data collection and government surveillance is interesting though. It puts groups like the ACLU in odd positions -- take drone policy for instance. They believe that "a drone should be deployed by law enforcement only with a warrant, in an emergency, or when there are specific and articulable grounds to believe that the drone will collect evidence relating to a specific criminal act."

But they do not want regulations limiting individual/private use of drones.

It does seem strange to allow a private surveillance fleet but be against a government one. Why does google (or my neighbor, for that matter) have the right to fly drones with surveillance equipment but the government does not?

From the article:

> Within the last years, multiple Javascript frameworks were developed that can help you to create, train and use Neural Networks for different purposes.

Due to the popular discourse on how 'unsuitable' JS is for anything but front-end development°, does anybody have any insight on how the efficiency of JS neural net libraries compares to that of the classic Python et al. tools? I've been trying to get started in neural nets for a while now, but am curious as to if learning it via JS will be a limiting factor that I will ultimately have to switch to a more efficient/suited platform.

Thank you; I honestly did not know that. I've worked in routing previously, but in Europe it seems most road data is much better categorised. It also helps to have less area and fewer roads, of course.
Key sentence

"Some security companies rely completely on the database, essentially freeloading, said executives on both sides of the divide, and did not want to share their analysis for fear of being found out."
I certainly prefer a simple rule so that I don't need to ask an attorney whether a particular API is copyrighted before I start working. But I found the original article misleading in a few aspects, and wanted to clarify things before the discussion turned silly over misunderstandings.

It's also true that courts are expected to come to the right conclusion for the right reason. If a company spent years telling people they were free to use some particular API, then sued them for doing so, it would be important to distinguish between a case where the API isn't copyrightable and a case where the API is copyrightable but that people had permission to create derivative works based on that API. For some reason, many people are unable to make that distinction when talking about things around the water cooler.

> Given the fact that humans do have this inherent capacity and ability to imagine and create, future changes in markets or geopolitical conditions (that are mostly due to human actions) cannot be predicted based simply on past events.

Does the author mean there is some non-neurological reason we are able to 'imagine and create'? The neurological connections in our brains certainly are a function of 'past events', even in the case of creativity. There could be we have some random number generator in our brains that somehow create new and unexpected connections, which we then call imagination, but I see no reason why this cannot also be implemented in a computer.
Not only does it not help, it also misinterprets and trivializes the message.

I encourage people to read the article instead and ignore the post above.
VS, Eclipse, and IntellijIDEA very likely won't.

Well, I hope they won't. But I'm sure their many common UI conventions will. Those conventions are shared between hundreds of thousands of apps already.

In 20 or 40 years, the Emacs UI will still rule only in a single program (and if we're unlucky maybe a few other tools still, like the readline library!).

As for vi, I'm sure some people will still be installing vi plugins everywhere to get 1/10th as smooth an experience as everyone else, and telling themselves they're more productive for it. Already these UI conventions developed for a line editor have outlived much of the generation that has ever used a line editor, so I'm sure it can go on for another 40 years!
