Ultimately, if you don't want to work on AOO, there's probably not much I can say to convince you. And that's fine. No hard feelings. So the rest of this really isn't even for you, it's for other people who are reading and who don't already have their minds made up:

Why would I want to waste my time working on a has-been office suite when I can work on the leading FOSS office suite, which is LibreOffice?

Because you like competition and you want to knock that "leading FOSS office suite" off its perch.

Why would I want to commit my time to a project that seems to only seems to exist because of a licensing dispute?

1. The license thing does matter, because it's easier for other projects to incorporate patches that are licensed under the ALv2. And even where that's not actually true, it is the perception. In either case, I'd posit that contributions to AOO stand to benefit everybody, whether they're using AOO, LO or something else.

2. The Apache Way. Some people will just find that they enjoy the style of collaboration that results from the way Apache projects operate. It won't be for everybody, and it's probably a minor point, but it matters to some people.

3. Everybody loves an underdog and here's your chance to be a hero. Contribute to other projects and you're "Just another person who contributed some patches". Help AOO (especially right now) and you get a chance to feel like you're really making a difference.

Why would I want to join a chronically understaffed project when I could instead join its competitor, which has far more development support?

You can probably have more impact working on AOO. There's more room to influence major technical decisions exactly because there aren't as many active developers. Want to radically re-invent how office suites work and create something truly novel? There's probably more opportunity to to that within the AOO project than others.

Why would I want to join a project which all major Linux distros have abandoned, when I could instead join its competitor, which all major Linux distros have switched to?

Meh... I don't see how that matters for anything. Why should someone else's decisions influence what you decide to work on?

I'm sorry, I haven't seen any good answers to these questions at all.

And truth be told, that's at least in part because we haven't spent a lot of time trying to come up with answers to them. We've been content to just accept that some people will want to work on AOO for their own reasons, and others will prefer to work on other projects for their reasons. We'll see if that changes in the future. I just started a thread on the AOO dev list trying to provoke some discussion around this very topic.

Working on a FOSS project that is popular and stands a chance of becoming even more popular among non-techies is laudable.

Yes, that's why we do it. :-)
Usually, in my experience anyway, it doesn't get that far.

The blog post just refers to interviewees saying "I wouldn't want to work with the interviewer" when they mistakenly feel that they did poorly in the interview.

Anecdotally from the real world, when I (headhunter) get feedback from a candidate shortly/immediately after an interview, if they feel they did poorly they tend to add that there were things they didn't like about the opportunity (a person, the office, something). People that feel they did well don't usually go negative as easily.

But I also go back to the employer and get their feedback ASAP, and when that comes back positive I immediately pass that message to the candidate. Assuming the employer's feedback is somewhat prompt, the candidate doesn't get too much opportunity to go negative, and once they "feel wanted" by the employer they usually trend back positive. Offers come shortly thereafter.

> Does this really seem fine to you?

You're attributing to me emotions I did not express. Obviously, because I didn't offer an opinion on anything in my question.

>There are now many women-only places/clubs but the same is denied to men in the US.

This is demonstrably false, and can be disproved with Google in seconds.

But I'll surmise you aren't all that concerned with the existence of women's social clubs as a counterpoint to men's social clubs. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and guess that your concerns are likely about something more substantive.

I was just asking where one can objectively measure the severe disadvantage of white men in America. A disadvantage so profound surely would be obvious in data of education, political power, wealth, or employment, or the like.

Your contention is at odds with what I would have guessed based on having lived my life in America. So: what publicly-available data set would you use to exhibit this severe disadvantage?

> "There doesn't exist any sort of neutral arbitration board that would allow troublesome developers who were out of sync with the governed to be removed from the project."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the problems with OO.org started/accelerated when Oracle bought Sun. If that's the case, how are you meant to kick out the owners of the project? Forks are an effective defense mechanism against problems at the core of a project.
> It seems like you're using WaveNet to do speech-to-text

I'm proposing reducing a vocal performance into the corresponding WaveNet input. At no point in that process is the actual "text" recovered, and doing so would defeat the whole purpose, since I don't care about the text, I care about the performance of speaking the text (whatever it was).

In your example, I can't force Trump to say something in particular. But I can force myself, so I could record myself saying something I wanted Clinton to say [Step 3] (and in a particular way, too!), and if I had a trained WaveNet for myself and Clinton, I could make it seem like Clinton actually said it.

Wow! I'd been playing around with machine learning and audio, and this blows even my hilariously far-future fantasies of speech generation out of the water. I guess when you're DeepMind, you have both the brainpower and resources to tackle sound right at the waveform level, and rely on how increasingly-magical your NNs seem to rebuild everything else you need. Really amazing stuff.
I worked at a company in the suburbs of Portland for about a year and was really impressed when they hired a guy in his 60s to do a job currently being done by 4-5 people in their late 20s (a mix of males and females). I wouldn't necessarily say he was slow in picking up stuff, but his style of learning is was definitely a lot different. He was a great asset and it alleviated some of the subconscious biases I had myself.
Yeah, so Nagios does all of this, and it's been battle tested the last 20 years or so.
Not to mention, in this primary race.. what the hell do i vote for? With this stupid voting system (first past the post) i am dammed to not vote for who i agree with or believe in, but rather some strategic vote move.

I totally agree with voting locally, but voting for for a president.. especially this year, is a difficult to comprehend for me personally.

In the U.S. Navy, the line-crossing initiation is voluntary, or at least it was when I was in, but it's kind of expected. One of my roommates aboard the USS Enterprise (the aircraft carrier) was an older warrant officer; he'd become a trusty shellback as an enlisted man, but when he got his warrant, the record was misplaced. So when we crossed the line, he went through the initiation again, with the rest of us slimy pollywogs, so that it'd be in his records again. He was a good sport about it.
>But it does get awkward quite a few times when having to interact with a human (customer services, hotel bookings, etc) via email or phone when they get a bit confused why their company name is my email alias....

I had that problem so many times that I whipped up a quick Rails app that generates new email addresses. Type in the company name, hit submit. It uses a random project name generator gem to create something like SteelyFishSauce@<mydomain>.com, displays it on the screen, and emails "<Company name> has been associated with SteelyFishSauce@<mydomain>.com" to the spamcatcher address.
> If I am a business owner, and I need someone to create a website for me to do something, the first thing I will reach for is someone who has already done similar projects and has a track record of getting it done.

If that is the case, what you need is a contractor, not an employee, and you should hire accordingly.
I agree with everything you're saying. I spent a great deal of effort getting to know my guests as best I could. A lot of my guests and I added each other on social media after and have reached out to me to come stay again.

I only spoke on the phone with one guest before hand and we ended up connecting very well. Her and her daughter were first timers and I walked them through the whole process. Her feedback said something like she considers me family now haha

Airbnb has basically stripped that ability away from me. So thanks Airbnb. I'll stop being the racist you've incorrectly accused me of being.

If PHP and Jquery are fine to get the job done, whats the point?

I have learned a few languages now - Java, Perl and now Python. Python has pretty much everything I need. I have looked at NoSQl databases, but haven't found a use case where they would be better than relational databases. I prefer to write good quality Django code than to write my first app in yet another language / stack.
Ideally you'd have a symbiosis, and each side would recognize the importance of the other.

Even if you require your data scientists to be able to do engineering work, it's probably way more efficient to have some good generalist Software Engineers doing all the "pre-math" work and freeing your statisticians up for what they're (hopefully) good at.

Plus as a side effect, your software will probably be better.
Why do you contribute to AOO and not LO? On what basis should one decide to contribute to one or the other?

For me personally, it is a combination of preference for the Apache License, familiarity with the ASF (from being involved in other projects) and a general comfort level with how the ASF works. That and a little bit of wanting to support the underdog, and compete with the perceived front-runner.

This isn't the whole picture. In some states, there's a proof of citizenship requirement in order to register to vote, and the most common form of photo ID (driver's license) is not sufficient for that purpose in most cases, because non-citizens can also hold it.

Problem is, for many people, they don't actually have any documentation to that effect. The most typical documents are passports and birth certificates. The former aren't free, and are otherwise only really useful when travelling in other countries, so there's little incentive to have one. The latter are often not available on hand, and you have to go to a completely different place (from where you register) to obtain yours; worse yet if you were born in a different state. It's usually not free, either.

Polarization is more representative of social media bubbles and the teams' resulting marketing strategies rather than an indicator of actual importance.
The line that stood out most in that article was the woman saying "Every job I've had I got through my contacts, but they're all gone now". It had never occurred to me, but it's obviously a huge problem for older job seekers.

If you're 33, you might get a job using a recommendation from someone who managed you a decade ago. If you're 53, that same person retired years ago and doesn't have any pull to offer. And someone who worked for you 10 years ago can't recommend you easily, because it's hard to "recommend up" to a position above your own.

It's a subtle sort of thing, it's not direct ageism but it's obviously a big hurdle for an older worker.
It's north of 98% everywhere, I'd think.
More concerning is that this site focuses on "issues". As if huge policies will be decided by the next presidency. Instead they should be focusing on the metagame, the shift in public perspective on things. For instance, do you want to support a candidate from a party shown to be corrupt? Is that really less damaging to the future of the US than having a loudmouth arrogant "whatever" on stage for a few years?

A vote for 3rd party at this point is basically a vote for a corrupt party to win.
You'll never discriminate on anything, except the things that are important to you and you don't like. Got it.
Yes, there wouldn't be any additional benefit in terms of vote-counting at first. Our current "vote for one candidate" approach is the same as picking your top choice in a ranked ballot.

But the benefit would be that we'd actually have data on being able to say, "Here's who would have won if we had used IRV, here's who would have won if we had used Condorcet", etc. And then later pick the actual counting method that proves effective.

I mostly like the idea is because I think the debate over counting method gets in the way of the debate over using ranked ballots.

A risk would be someone picking a different first-choice candidate than they otherwise would, out of improperly believing that their preferences would be counted.

This did happen to me once. I asked someone to a general get-to-know-you coffee and she spent the next two years mentioning her boyfriend to me and even mentioning a couple of times that she liked me as a friend but didn't want to date me. I thought it best not to mention that my interest in dating her was equally low.

I believe a country that is actively engaged in the political process is good for all Americans, especially my children who will inherit my generation's screw-ups.

I believe a country where 30% of people vote is worse than one where 60% of people vote, and that bad politicians are held less accountable. In order for a higher turnout to happen, then lots of people like me need to vote, even if their vote doesn't do much.

Whether I hold the door for the person behind me doesn't really affect my life. It might make me feel good about myself for a bit (like voting) and it may help a stranger a bit. Voting is maybe less directly helpful, but it's helpful to millions of strangers.

Also, my vote has way more power down-ballot, as others have said.

Why? If someone chooses to discriminate, why not let them suffer the consequences of lost potential revenue naturally?

It gives people who don't discriminate a chance to step in and gain market share.

It reminds me of the story of the bakery who wouldn't make a wedding cake for a gay couple. If I owned a bakery, I would put up a sign the next day saying "we will happily make cakes for gay couples".
After having interviewed dozens of people, the idea occurred to me that my ratings for interviewees were a Gaussian curve with a normal distribution. Most people blended into each other - they knew the topics the same amount. Enough to be employed in their current job. Then one in six was a standard deviation below or worse, and one in six was a standard deviation above or better.

That might be one reason for the impostor syndrome. Because if we interviewed six people, one would be unqualified, four would be OK but not spectacular, and one would know the subjects better than anyone. So in an interview of six people the best qualified one of the six would have the job. The average four were not truly impostors, but would not get the job unless they had an inside recommendation or if we were really needed someone and there was a shortage of candidates coming in.

There is no direct or causal connection; at least I've no studies to cite or similar. It's common sense. Take any activity and I bet you will find that those that explicitly seek to engage in that activity will perform it better than those that come across it by happenstance. In voting that means understanding what you are voting for/against.

Do you you really think that a passive participant in an activity performs at a similar level to an engaged one?

So, obviously a LinkedIn search for exact title of "data engineer" isn't exhaustive. And as I understand your point, there's certainly no agreed upon group of skills/certification that qualify someone to be a data engineer (or data scientist, or software engineer, for that matter).

But the GP was particularly amusing to me because of its assertion that 'smart, quantitative people, regardless of industry, can build data infrastructures for startups.' I guess we could also say, there's little incentive to pay to train them (or for them to pay to train) to become a data engineer.
also not true in australia
Well put. Especially on 5 yr project thing. I'll add that even nature balances what types of us there are for innovation and resilience. The idea that one, narrow type will be ideal for all startup or tech work is absurd in comparison.

The fact that it pays well makes it a job you're likely to get laid off from. Most managers would rather hire two junior developers so they can screw it up faster or better yet hire some people in another country who are really fast and cheap at screwing it up.

COBOL itself isn't tied to any specialized hardware, and you can get COBOL compilers (whether proprietary or open source) for all major platforms. If it runs PHP, it probably can run COBOL too.

The real problem with porting most COBOL code is that few COBOL applications are actually pure COBOL, they are full of calls to proprietary middleware, databases and operating systems. For example, a lot of COBOL code runs on IBM mainframes and calls mainframe packages like CICS and IMS and the underlying mainframe OS (z/OS aka MVS). While there are replatforming solutions which emulate some of these mainframe software packages on other platforms, the emulation is generally imperfect hence there is still effort and risk in migrating.

I think the biggest problem with mainframe COBOL software is not the hardware but finding people with the right skills to maintain it. Even if you use some replatforming solution to port it to a more mainstream platform (Linux/Unix/Windows), you will still need COBOL programmers familiar with the relevant mainframe technologies, plus they'll need to understand the limitations of the replatforming solution you chose.
I think it's cool how you can tell the writer's accent from this - something you can rarely do with written English. "halve" and "kin knot" sound nothing like "have" or "cannot" in my native accent, for example.

Similarly, rhymes in Shakespeare's sonnets have been used to work out how Shakespeare spoke the same words, as we no longer pronounce the words the same way (and many of the rhymes have been broken).
Because we tried that and it didn't work. It wasn't a single decision that resulted in redlining that forced all the black people in cities to under-served slums. It was an aggregation of millions of personal decisions, many of them by otherwise reasonable people who were simply responding to the very powerful human cognitive bias of loss aversion. So, as a society, we decided to do what can to foreclose on that pathology.
