On chrome there's a bug showing the console that's preventing it from going beyond the start screen.

On Firefox when using the arrow keys to read through the next, a single click renders two screens of text too quickly for me to read the first of them.
It's not what people say, it's the intention behind it.

If I say "I'm too white for that" or "my male brain cannot process that many stuff at the same time", am I'm being racist and sexist? No, because I'm just joking about my own stereotype.

If I would want to verbally assault a women, I can do that without ever referring to her gender.

The other hugely important factor is the body language and tone, that completely get lost in the reporting, I can say "I'm going to brutally murder you and hang your corpse up a tree", which sounds like a legit death threat, however, if I say this to you, it depends on how I say it.

So clearly, worrying about what people say without context is backwards.
Inside the mind of a Coccinelle programmer
That's part of Danto's Theory of "The end of art". http://hyperallergic.com/191329/an-illustrated-guide-to-arth...

"
Art history is generally thought of as a linear progression of one movement or style after another (Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, etc.), punctuated by the influence of individual geniuses (Delacroix, Courbet, Monet, Cézanne … ).

(...)
The story Danto tells in “The End of Art” follows on from this model. According to Danto, the commitment to mimesis began to falter during the nineteenth century due to the rise of photography and film. These new perceptual technologies led artists to abandon the imitation of nature, and as a result, 20th-century artists began to explore the question of art’s own identity. What was art? What should it do? How should art be defined? In asking such questions, art had become self-conscious. Movements such as Cubism questioned the process of visual representation, and Marcel Duchamp exhibited a urinal as an artwork. The twentieth century oversaw a rapid succession of different movements and ‘isms,’ all with their own notions of what art could be. “All there is at the end,” Danto wrote, “is theory, art having finally become vaporized in a dazzle of pure thought about itself, and remaining, as it were, solely as the object of its own theoretical consciousness.”
Warhol’s Brillo boxes and Duchamp’s readymades demonstrated to Danto that art had no discernible direction in which to progress. The grand narrative of progression — of one movement reacting to another — had ended. Art had reached a post-historical state. All that remains is pure theory:

Of course, there will go on being art-making. But art-makers, living in what I like to call the post-historical period of art, will bring into existence works which lack the historical importance or meaning we have for a long time come to expect […] The story comes to an end, but not the characters, who live on, happily ever after doing whatever they do in their post-narrational insignificance […] The age of pluralism is upon us…when one direction is as good as as another."
Didn't Taleb advocate cash holdings (90%) and high risk investing (10%). I always though that 90% cash was a pretty whacky idea and personally just stick to portfolio theory.

I think your plan (substitution index funds for cash) is already a lot better than what Taleb suggested.
You accidentally put "readability" in the Pros column, fyi.
> It just so happens that the portion of the community is the one most looked up to by the rest of the community

It certainly is the most vocal.
Common core encourages repetition through its focus on multiple representations.

Not sure if I'd say Common Core itself encourages any particular method, nonetheless many modern math curricula take this approach. I have an elementary age kid at a school using Everyday Math which is like this, and it is pretty terrible. The homework is, like you say, a few problems of one type, then jump to something else, then jump to something else. There is never mastery of anything. Not basic operations, not coloring squares, not anything. I'm not opposed to multiple representations, but there isn't enough focus or repetition, so there ends up being no mastery.

While most of the kids could color 1/4 of a square and understand that conceptually, if I said color 40/160 of a square, they'd freeze because they don't work with numbers or basic operations enough to figure out that it is the same %.
Why in the world you would need 6GB in a phone today?
And the nexus can have all the ram in the world but will always be painfully slow.
I am really surprised that I didn't throw my Nexus 5 against the wall out of frustration in the end.
The real surprise was when my friend bought the nexus 6x or whatever is called and it was even slower than the nexus 5.
Just to sum up, RAM is the most useless thing if all the rest sucks.
I've seen ops accepting to run a couple of services on Windows and Linux at a time they were all HP-UX and Solaris.
There were no good alternatives for those services so ops were not happy but had to learn how to operate those servers. Can I suppose you went through the same?

I'm not sure if you complain just about React, or about using a functional programming approach to games in general. In case it is the latter, I strongly recommend reading:

"A Worst Case for Functional Programming?" http://prog21.dadgum.com/189.html

where the author (also a game programmer for decades) concludes:

> Would it be simpler than the OOP version? Probably not. [...] But at one time I would have thought the functional version a complete impossibility, and now it feels like the obvious way to approach these kinds of problems.

I don't have any answers for you but wish you well in your endeavour. All Eclipse based proprietary IDEs I've come across in embedded controllers have been terrible. Would love to see an independent developer provide a better solution. I hope there is a market for you there.
It's not that Intel's not given the choice -- that would still be very far away. It's that Apple's move would be the first real example of overlap in computing space. Others can follow and eventually claw at Intel's market share in laptop/desktop market.
Someone might be better equipped to write something new and original if they knew 10,000 words vs 1,000. Or to bring it to programming, do you think a programmer who has complete mastery of the syntax of a language might be better equipped to develop innovative software than a developer who had to refer to stack overflow to lookup whether == was assignment or equivalence?
And this does not even consider the counterfeit adapters many people use. I think wireless might be more efficient than many badly designed adapters.
Rosetta worked, because the Intel chips were much faster than the PowerPcs back then. I doubt that the ARMs would have a sufficient large lead in performance. And there are plenty of reasons to run x86 code on Macs, be it older programs which might not be ported to ARM, or all the Windows and Linux stuff running in VMs. As much as I would like an ARM based laptop, it would be much less practical than an x86 one.

I don't know the answer, but GNU has really lost its way.

My main connection with them is through GCC, where I believe years of bad to level decisions has lead to a huge movement of to talent to clang ,(requiring copyright assignment then taking months to complete the forms, forbidding plugins for years, etc)
Of course you can. Look at the web.
more computing means less battery life. rather have more efficient setup than larger one if there is no difference in perceived performance other than battery life.

Peoples who have created anything remotely resembling a functioning society don't act with this brutality and frequency towards their own kin and tribes, no matter the circumstance. Either the Papua New Guineans and others like them have gone "backwards" from a common ancestor (insert pedantic comment about how there is no such thing as devolution), or the kin-killing irrationally violent genes were always there and the rest of us eliminated most of the people that carried them because they were preventing us from operating even the most primitive of villages.
Mirror Matter
One of the things I admire about the tech community is their willingness to just give away their code for free. This is a cultural fact that has underpinned such an enormous collective gain of everyone in the entire world that I get genuinely worried when I see people get that mad at open source maintainers.

I look at the scientific community and their inability to share their data with one another out of paranoia, publishing incentives etc... it's not just bad for science, it's bad for their community - their ability to enjoy each other's company on a daily basis.

So you know - I just feel you gotta be kind to open source maintainers. They didn't break anyone's app. They just released new code that you don't have to use.
And what a mixed blessing that turned out to be.

On the one hand, we had a few decades of unprecedented sharing of prosperity. Those times have ended.

On the other hand, the unions have become their own sclerotic system of oppression. The greater pity, they do not see it that way.

Especially once all this “deregulation” has finished. Actually, it was not deregulation, but divestiture of public services to the plutocrats. Barely any regulations have been removed.

Now we have basic services supposedly available on a free market, but in practice there are so many requirements that it’s all crony capitalism. And one of the major powers fighting for its share of the bureaucracy and waste is the unions. That’s one reason why it costs so much and takes so long to do anything in an industry controlled by unions.

Unions are nice, but tricky to do right, and currently there are a lot of bad examples.
Yes. This seems like a situation where individuals should be blamed, not an entire group, who may not even be aware of the actions of specific individuals. If the group is aware of the actions of the individuals and sanctions it, then that's a different scenario.

> The FSF fired her because they thought she, rather than the assholes bullying her, was causing the FSF potential damage. As a result, she was fired from the FSF.

It also seems worthwhile to understand what is the other side of the story about this.
Don't worry too much. You answers will be modified. Questions will be changed or blocked (so no one will be allowed to answer). Just because those people "who love answering questions" will know better. They even know if your question is a question.

I think you'd better have a blog. This way you can answer the questions you find e.g. on SO, but no one will change your answer.

The poster levels accusations at members of GNU but does not substantiate them with evidence (at least in that thread which I can see). I should hope we still live in a society where the accused are innocent until proven guilty. Can we see some evidence before any conclusions are drawn?

If it is just one member of GNU who acted inappropriately then I also have to ask why the poster is attacking the whole organization. Evidence ought to be presented for GNU's complicity in any sort of bias as well.
The superstar company: A giant problem
Personally, I want the opposite of "settings and files ... accessible in every context"—I don't want my personal data or configuration touching a corporate network, or vice-versa. I want the "bring your own machine" philosophy to be taken to its fullest extent: where there's no such thing as a workstation any more, because everyone just owns a PC (their phone) that they bring to work, which maybe contains a sandbox/VM with their work stuff in it, or acts as a thin client for a corporate shell-server, but is ultimately their machine.

This enables you to e.g. set up your own VPN for host traffic, to securely access whatever you want during work hours, completely opaquely to packet-sniffing on the corporate network. The "work sandbox" can ignore that VPN and just use the corporate network (maybe through its own VPN) like normal. Whereas with a shared workstation + LAN, all your personal data and traffic and ability-to-use-software is completely at the behest of corporate IT policies.

Oddly enough, this is already pretty much what the experience is like for iOS with a MaaS360-managed profile installed and Exchange ActiveSync-based accounts set up. Translate that to a desktop UI while keeping the isolation metaphor and it'd be perfect.
This is sad in many ways. I can understand that Leah and others would've suffered a lot of anguish and frustration because of a set of actions and decisions by some people/office of/in FSF. The frustration would've been like, "Who needs more of this discrimination since there's already so much to deal with in society?"

Without the entire context and all the back stories of the different sides, this looks like a blanket accusation on the entire FSF/GNU community with a similar punishment, which, ironically, is exactly what some majority groups do for classes like LGBT, people of color and other oppressed groups - try to paint everyone with the same brush and attempt to banish them from their world on this basis. I personally don't think this is very helpful to all involved, concerned and affected.

I strongly feel FSF ought to do the following:

1. Analyze what happened in a neutral way (as objective as possible).

2. Provide an explanation, a polite and calm one, on this matter without blaming Leah or others who're in the affected group.

3. If the findings on the firing of the person show damning evidence of discrimination, then take appropriate action against the specific people involved.

4. Commit to making the environment more open and transparent so that such drastic actions wouldn't be necessary to draw attention in the future.

Silence on the part of FSF will only help make stronger the impression that the accusations are pervasive in it, and could trigger more of such reactions from other people/groups involved with FSF.

My apologies for taking so long to reply - I'm not the best at checking my comment threads on HN. I basically specced up all the way since I expect this laptop to be with me for the next several years, and went with the 1440p IPS display. To be honest this is not something I usually pay great attention to - I don't use this laptop for gaming, only dev/browsing/casual use. On the whole I thought my 2013 Macbook Air screen looked better. I didn't boot up the ThinkPad and think "Wow, I'm so glad I got the 1440p screen" (in fact I didn't even remember which one I chose to be honest).

Part of lack of wow factor may be the fact that when I first uninstalled Windows and switched to Linux my resolution in general was all messed up - some apps would take up too much screen space, others would be tiny. There was no consistency and it ruined the experience (one miraculous dnf update day this seems to have been largely resolved, but I still do not find anything special about the 1440p display experience on the laptop).

I think I can help clear up one point here at least. You confused Shell Corporation with Holding Company. There is nothing "shell" about a multinational conglomerate.

As to your other points, I'll refer you to my original post.

You're not wrong about the bay being mostly shallow. To clarify though, the bay's average depth in the southern and northern areas is closer to 15-17 ft and near the Golden Gate Bridge and Treasure Island area is closer to 40ft[1]. Maybe the median depth is closer to 7 feet.

> ... the author wrote a book on the topic, and teaches a fairly famous course on it.

Sadly, that doesn't automatically mean anything from a correctness perspective.

Educational methodology, in particular, tends to be absolutely rife with fads more than fact and immediately sets off my alerts.

This is doubly problematic when someone touts how popular their course is instead of how effective it is.
Denouncing GNU/FSF, but not removing the advertising links from the mail signature also points toward a heat of the moment reaction.
I'm more involved in the analysis / software side of research, and somebody who is working on hardware can probably tell you more about technology spin-offs. In fact, I'd like to hear about them, too.

One thing that has been pioneered at the LHC is grid computing. Basically we were doing cloud computing before it was cool. Of course, the requirements of science and industry are different, and we were quickly overtaken in scale by Amazon, Google, etc.. But still, particle physicists were among the first to connect different data centers across the world to a unified resource. You just say "do this computation on this dataset" and the system finds the optimal place to perform the calculation without copying too much data around, and delivers the packaged up datasets back when it's done.

Many spin-offs are small improvements of existing technology, giant leaps are rare. An example of an incremental step are improved solar panels [1] using LHC vacuum technology. There is also a lot of work done on superconductors and magnets that is cutting-edge, but I don't know if it has found application yet.

We have a lot of hardware development that is really interesting, but too far away from consumer electronics to be used as a spin-off, like radiation hard electronics, or high precision particle detectors. Maybe some of this will go into medical devices.

We used to be early adopters of machine learning (e.g. neural networks) and pattern recognition techniques, but have been utterly surpassed in these fields by industry recently, and are only starting to import modern techniques, like deep neural networks.

I have the 2012 Macbook Air 8gb RAM and 512 GB SSD

Still perfect for me, I do casual video editing and some compositing in 1080p and rendering time is still great, I compile large programming projects and it is comparable to all the spiffy new macbook pros companies want to set me up with

I did replace the battery for around $100

It has all the right ports at the right speeds, multiple usb 3.0, sdxc card slot with sdxc speeds, thunderbolt at thunderbolt speeds

The user experience still beats out all the sub $1000 laptops because the target audience accepts a lot of compromises and their budget is $400 (okay, I haven't looked at the market, just see what I see. a lot of people switched to tablets)

So I just wish they'd release the 1 TB version with 16gb RAM

The macbook air 2012 is the machine I always wanted to exist for half a decade, and it is still great. Not the model before, or the model before that.
On the other hand, this individual has the authority to make the decision on behalf of the FSF. So at this point in the time and until more evidence is provided, this _is_ the decision of the FSF.

Having said that, there are still many layers of information that needs to be provided to get a clear picture.
I think the main point of this article (which could have been half the length) is that you can't just declare a job remote.

You have to have a culture and technology that supports it, or else if you take that remote job, you're getting set up for failure.

If everybody else is having water cooler conversations, and making binding decisions based on them without email or chat, any remote employee is going to be constantly blindsided, and not rewarded by the organization.

I worked on one (and am currently working on another) highly distributed team, and the amount of whip-cracking that my manager had to do to make sure everything was documented and accessible to everybody on the team was incredible.

I just want to point out that whether they built it before or after starting their business doesn't really matter. It's definitely a part of how they promote React Training today (see: moving the project to the ReactTraining GitHub organization, or how many times react-router is mentioned on their marketing website).

Not that I have a problem with that; all the more power to them. Especially if it helps support development of these libraries.

The Neo-Generalist, and why we should all have ‘one’
Right now the display port and the two USB ports for the Air feel just about right for me, and it seems like the ideal "minimalist" laptop.

Performance wise I hear that both are comparable and you'll get similar battery life on both, but for me the Macbook_Raw barely crosses the line of "too minimalist". Though honestly, even a second USBC port would probably change my mind on it.

I also really like the feel of the 13" screen - it seems just right, but I suppose I could get used to the 12". Also don't really wanna go back to a Bluetooth Mouse again, but this is ultimately a minor quibble that I could get over pretty easily.
Even better than that, it could be set up so that your house drew power from the car battery when rates were high! You could set it to, for example, draw from the car battery until the charge drops to 80% or some settable limit.

Then all the rechargeable cars become part of the battery moderation of the whole grid!
The TDP limits of smartphones (no more than ~10W) make them unuseable for heavier workstation loads, and there will always be demand for a lot of local computational power.
