No, that's different.

Julie Hovarth and Zach were partners at one point. Later they broke up, and after the big story of her exit from Github, she told journalists that Zach:

> "was complicit in the actions of both Tom and Theresa Preston-Werner and even admitted to plotting with Theresa Preston-Werner to get women at the company fired. He should be let go from GitHub and I regret being kind to him in previous interviews."

Source: http://www.dailydot.com/business/julie-ann-horvath-names-git...

This strikes me as unprofessional and dishonest.

Combine that with the statements by the new Github executives who came in after Tom Preston-Warner's departure, especially this rather unbelievable tweet:

Ironically, the new leadership has created an environment of bullying and bigotry. They are fighting what they see as intolerance with intolerance of their own.

You're right that I shouldn't have speculated about specifics.

But I think we can both agree that when someone's being accused of vague transgressions by people this patently biased, fired, and not allowed to talk about why, we should treat that with healthy skepticism.

Wow, didn't expect there would be a guy with similar research interest. That's interesting.
The process of trying to unravel the gordian knot of cultural evolution may develop the ability to think critically, but it is surely a sub-optimal method for doing so. Imagine if people learning science were never presented with a unified model or complete picture, but instead provided all the original research papers and told to come to their own conclusions? If the humanities want to remain relevant they need to distill themselves into a valuable and cohesive whole.
How is it any different from the unlimited ways they can use their money to influence things? This is far less concerning than how lobbying works in the US, how polticians get paid absurd speaking fees by companies who benefit tremendously from said politcian, or how they can funnel unlimited amounts of money into super PACs to promote whatever candidate they want. They can buy entire media outlets and make their reporting biased in favor of whatever opinions they have.

Funding a valid, founded lawsuit against an entity they don't like is pretty far down the list of disturbing things for them to do with their money. This isn't even as bad as buying up patents and trolling companies for settlements which happens all the time.
Not sure why you're jumping on this train at this junction...
No economic use is not oblivion. Being useless needs to somehow be destigmatized while not being encouraged. It's not the end of the world, there are happy monks who live in seclusion off the generosity of others, there are some happy people with special needs who we don't try to make work and retired people who still enjoy life. There's no reason we can't have people being happy doing hobbies some day if we can get past training ourselves to feel like shit when we're not doing useless but socially necessary work (which is what most jobs are rapidly turning into). Some country is going to implement basic income and force us to talk about these ideas that successful people feel we can keep pushing away because it doesn't affect us yet.
I have seen articles all over the place and comments all over this forum that suggest we all want to move into apartments in the city. I think a lot of it is propaganda by the real-estate industry as they are making ridiculous amounts of money by selling apartments. Governments also benefit as they can save money providing infrastructure.

I have a lot of "mad science" projects, but only to help me make my work easier. I would never try to turn any of my work into products for sale. Selling tech to lawyers and law firms is a good way to make yourself completely miserable. (They are nearly always nightmare customers.)

Lawyers and law firms currently have no serious imperative to work efficiently. Until companies let go of their reliance on big law firms, this will continue. I hear a lot of talk about people wanting lawyers to change, but then if you talk to any funded started, they nearly always either waste a ton of money on expensive law firms, or they avoid lawyers altogether. It's a complicated problem that perhaps only time can change.

While some of NaCl's kernels are written using qhasm, qhasm itself is not part of the build process of NaCl. This means that those functions cannot be ran on, say, Windows, because the calling convention (and the assembly syntax) is different. qhasm also does not have programming capabilities, so one would need a lot of code duplication to write an SSE2, SSSE3, AVX2, etc variant of the same function. While OpenSSL's perlasm is an abomination, it does produce "portable" assembly output, and there is no obvious superior option to accomplish that. This is something sorely missing from our collective toolchains.

Not disagreeing - I interviewed for a position there and asked about the outsourcing effort and results. The senior manager was awfully defensive about it.
As early as 1990, I recall the guidance on capitalization being, if you are referring to internet as a class of internetwork, (possibly an internal network) then you use the lower case. If you are referring to Internet as the Internet (that is, the world wide network, globally routable, connecting all sites) you use the capital letter. The difference is between the noun, internet, and one particular internetwork, the Internet.

In the last 25 years or so, the concept of an internet has basically disappeared (for the most part, maybe we just call it a LAN/WAN now), while the Internet (soon, according to NYT and AP, internet) is all that people mean when they refer to internet now. Which I guess is how language evolves.
Have you ever used the term 'internet' to refer to networks other than the main worldwide network? I never have, so lower-casing it seems pretty reasonable to me, based on my current use of the term.
This makes sense. The "internet" belongs alongside air, water, electricity etc. It's now a ubiquitous part of this world and in my books everyone has the right to access it without censorship or surveillance.
If Chinese people start to argue about this, haha, then damn it, our lives are doomed. Deng Xiaoping has said: "Don't argue, just try it, just do it." China has made mistakes arguing, and the outcome is horrible.

However, there is something close to a common sense now, the best interest for Chinese people in the first 100 years of PRC is to lead all the Chinese people to live at least in moderate prosperity, to build a modern country.

> I'm not sure if you're being obtuse here, but the broader precedent is exactly what I outlined in my original post: that a billionaire can anonymously attack a media organisation he doesn't like.

I get your point. That is a valid broader context, but as I wrote above it is not the only one. Gawker is a media organization that gets away with attacking anyone whenever they want for any motive at all and are shielded from consequences by hiding behind their status as a "media organization" despite having no journalistic standards to speak of.

Which is worse, media organizations abusing people without the means or resources to fight back, or billionaires funding lawsuits against media organizations? You're imagining the danger of a billionaire with a personal vendetta against Gawker. I'm imagining staff writers at Gawker on power trips publishing hit pieces that barely toe the line of libel and getting normal people fired for clicks.

This is the reason given for why housing costs are high in the bay area, but is not really the reason why housing costs are high, at least in general. Only a small percentage of people actually want to live in shitty apartments in polluted, concrete cities. You can make a million apartments and it is not going to reduce the price of houses where most people actually want to live.
On box.com only admins can move & rename folders, which makes alot more sense to start off with. With this solution, it seems everyone can still rename the folders. Too bad their (box.com) support is the worst customer experience I've ever whitnessed.
I did the opposite; Chromebox on desk and MBP on lap. I pay Google about ~$7 per month to run an Ubuntu instance in the cloud so I can write and compile things. I was leaning towards getting an iPad Pro for on the go, but it's a bit pricy for only running a Prompt.

I still love Apple products, but as I've gotten older I see computers as tools to solve specific problems, not toys to tinker and play with. Chromebooks solve problems at a nice price.

It's surprising that so many good tools are regretted because of lack of clear documentation and intuitive API (looking at you, Webpack).

No, a good user experience is not a luxury you can afford to omit. Stop creating backlog tickets to "simplify code". It's just plain selfishness.
I think you'll find that its not just DBAs who like to have the database enforce integrity when it can.

> Scenario 1: what if a system need to migrate to different database system, then the whole business logic are need to totally re-implemented with the destination system DSL.

If it takes you more than a few minutes to rewrite a foreign key constraint to work on a different target database then you're doing something wrong.

> Scenario 2: if system need more just one storage system to persist business states, for example, I use db to store image metadata and use s3 to store the image? I don't believe the foreign key constrains will still works.

You're right, it doesn't - you can't use a foreign key constraint there. That doesn't mean you abandon them altogether, just use them where they work - in your database.

> Scenario 3: if we have system need to process business state in asynchronously, for example, use message queue.

Then use a message queue. Still no reason to give up on the declarative integrity checking of FK constraints inside your database.

No idea what you;re talking about wrt unit tests - perhaps you're saying you want to allow bad data into your database so that you can run your tests? In which case here's a better idea - use FK constraints to never let it in in the first place, and don't bother testing, since the DB vendor already did it for you.
Gawker took themselves out by putting a sex tape on their website without the consent of the people appearing in it. Perhaps Theil helped the process along, but he wouldn't have been able to do so if they hadn't been so reckless.
A JIT for what? Both Swift and Objective-C are AOT. Objective-C offers runtime dispatch into native code, no different than calling a function pointer in C (just with a more convenient method of looking them up at runtime).
> I heard it's the most deployed database in the world, but I'm not entirely convinced

That's absolutely true but not really a fair comparison. sqlite is the go-to method for storing structured data in desktop and mobile applications (Android, iOS, Windows, Chrome, Firefox, ...), accounting for many billions of installations, whereas the other things that people usually call "databases" (e.g. MySQL) obviously aren't meant for that use case.
Dont go for IOPS , but price. Make sure that there is replication and fail over... people at this stage just want to make sure that their data isn't lost.
Use cheap hardware like ovh - you can beat AWS on price. Plus, googling for "hosted postgresql" is still something that can be competed upon.

You're talking about things you don't understand, there is no case anyone can rationally make that Facebook is subject to anti-trust laws. You do not have to use Facebook, there are tons of other social networking sites, Facebook is not using anti-competitive practices to prevent competition.

Anti-trust laws require far more than just being popular to apply and there's nothing in them that applies to Facebook or any other website. Anti-trust laws in the U.S. have never successfully been used against a website because the very notion is absurd.

The fact is that everybody wants to add their favourite emoji, but more emoji added more confusion it will be make.

I'd be curious to see what deals Disney had worked out for its NES era games made by Capcom. While I remember them fondly, I guess I don't really know if they were commercially successful at the time or not.

If it was successful, then it just seems natural that they'd continue to license the IP out to let those who do know games do their thing with franchises, and honestly the in-house production of games for Disney always seemed off.

> And our standard of living is obviously far higher than at any time in the past

Human health declined beginning with the agricultural era. I mean, you don't even have any knowledge of every time in the past, yet you are so confident in claiming our lives have never been better.

> the access to more and better medicines, having at our fingertips

You do realise that the extreme majority of illnesses experienced today are caused by the modern world and lifestyles? These medicines are designed to fix problems that didn't exist previously. The most commonly sold medicine is probably heart medication or something like that. These were things people did not experience 50,000 years ago, or even 500 years ago.

> safer and longer-lasting cars

Do you realise that most people just use cars to sit in traffic for hours going to a job they hate? You consider that a sign of how great things are?

> longer life expectancy

Well it is now declining, but quality over quantity. Sitting around at 90 years old watching tv isn't something I would count as life.

> ubiquitous and free to nearly-free instantaneous communication

social media and communication over the internet is a terrible replacement for real-life communication. Social media is actually really depressing. There are even recent studies that link time on social media with depression.

You will mention lower life expectancy. That is mostly due to infant mortality rates. Many people lived until they were 70. They had actual lives, not sitting at a computer typing shit all day.
