> "Red Hat has never intentionally inserted a back door in our products, and we have never received a court order to do so,"

Sure. But that doesn't mean it doesn't contain any backdoors. RedHat (also Fedora, Ubuntu, and many others) kindly accepts non-free binary blobs (in Linux kernel), which may make the system vulnerable with backdoors.

Not much people care about software freedom. Most care about "open source." Though it does have some interest in freedom (ie, opening the source, but not freeing), that's not its vital aim. For most, it is money (though they say, quality), and for a few it is power.

As long as the majority of the world focuses on money or power, we will see some weakness in security, and freedom (That doesn't mean free software are more secure, but the user have the choice).

The topic of the article is the experimental data, which does not distinguish between Verlinde's model from many other alternatives to DM. You may think the story Verlinde tells gives new a-priori reason to favor this sort of theory, but it doesn't have much to do with the experimental data being discussed.
He's saying as a bicyclist without insurance, he has no advocate with the insurance company. If he were in a car (and thus insured as required by law) then his insurance company would duke out a settlement with the other driver's insurance company. If you're just a Joe talking to someone's insurance company you're gonna get the short end.

djsumdog was riding a bicycle, which does not typically have insurance associated with it.
I think he's referring to the fact that some bikers are outwardly hostile to drivers, engaging in a kind of "share the road" fanaticism if they think you are, say, driving too closely or in any way not sufficiently deferential towards them.
Absolutely. It doesn't matter whose fault it is when you are dead.

A couple of years back I wanted to walk over a crosswalk. The pedestrian traffic light was green. I looked left and right, saw a car approaching quickly, and stopped. The car ran the red light, drove over the crosswalk, and hit two crossing cars before crashing into a building on the other side of the road. The driver must have missed the red light.

Never assume that other people see you, never assume other drivers are as alert as you are, always be defensive, yield when you are unsure if the situation is safe, especially when you are vulnerable (pedestrian or biker vs. car).
I didn't assume it was consensual, just that it could have been apparently consensual.
The VIN plate is what is insured. The rest of it builds off the insurance. You need insurance on a car to register it. You need a registered, insured car to get a drivers license. The insurance company will pay out, however you will be dropped immediately after and possibly sued.
My current model of the psyche is based on Internal Family Systems theory[0], which seems much more accurate, useful and potentially more effective than current models. I'd be very interested in playing with your ideas and seeing how the two models can improve each other.

True, but when you rent, the cost is obvious and stated upfront, however ownership has many hidden costs that are not apparent when you consider only purchasing price.
No, but you can ride a bike without insurance, and then you have to either get a lawyer or navigate contacting the driver's insurance company yourself if you get into an accident. Since insurance companies are used to defending themselves aggressively against other insurance companies, as an individual going against them, you're in trouble.
If the effort is not too great I would suggest you give it a try. My feeling is the traffic you will send will be pretty low quality, but if you do find you can get high quality traffic on demand for different services (especially in the B2B market) then you are on a major winner.
I didn't think about this until you mentioned it but I definitely take commuter rails more frequently as a result of knowing there will be an Uber in the neighborhood to get me through the last mile. I do this at the expense of renting a car and for whatever reason, using the local taxi service that undoubtedly existed all the while never occurs to me (I've ridden enough sh1tty local cabs to never do it willingly).
Fair point, although "37 percent of households have no retirement savings" is still a pretty shocking headline.
No one is forcing you to work at a company which colludes with competitors to avoid poaching each other's employees. No one forces you to purchase products from companies that form cartels.

However, we've decided as a matter of public policy that collusion of this sort harms consumers and workers.

The problem isn't that SF is against autonomous driving pilots. The problem is Uber doesn't want to register for a permit and thus be required to report its accidents / incidents of driver intervention.

Uber's claim is that a permit is not required because a human is overseeing the system. But that's 100% disingenuous. The permitting program explicitly assumes a human is in charge. The point is to compel companies to report when the human has to disengage the system because it making an error or fails to intervene in time and causes an accident.[1] That information is crucial for assessing the maturity of autonomous driving systems.

Probably Uber's fail rate is super high, judging from multiple reports about them running red lights on day 1. They don't want to scare people off by reporting their early numbers.

You're not using your imagination if the only way you can think of to bully someone is to threaten death :)

I've seen a ton of hand gestures, cyclists physically hitting cars with their fists (or open-palm slaps), lots of yelling, and on one occasion I saw a cyclist stop in front of a car, dismount, and walk around to the driver's side to demand he roll the window down in order to engage in a verbal confrontation.

When you ride your bike to and from work every day for 7 years you see a lot of stuff. Believe me, there are a lot of self-entitled cyclist bullies out there making things less safe for the rest of us.
The unsustainable pricing point overlooks how driverless vehicles will drive the cost of door to door transit to almost 0 (especially as cars go electric and solar brings extremely cheap power).

While it will bring many ills (e.g. increased obesity due to cheap door to door transit, more spread out cities), let's not delude ourselves with this article's misguided rhetoric -- mass transit will be more affordable and accessible than ever in history to the masses.

This article aims to treat the car sharing as ceteris paribus (all else equal) when in the current state of exponential change, it is anything but.

Not the poster but how I read it: the car driver had insurance; he was on a bike. In the US, in the event of two-car collisions the drivers will contact their insurance carries, and the insurance companies talk to each other to negotiate the settlement. Since he had to negotiate with the insurance company himself, and he had zero leverage.
I feel it's a cycle of mistrust. Companies don't want to spend as much time training junior workers or apprentices because they often leave shortly after achieving proficiency. But this lack of perceived loyalty comes from a rational viewpoint. After the shift in business culture in the 80s, where workers were laid off in bulk even if the company was in good financial health, workers woke up to the new reality. (To be fair, the era of the "company man" only encompasses half a century, so it's not necessarily a right or natural phenomenon)

I remember in the 80s and early 90s it was common for a salaried worker to stay at the same company for decades. Since the 2000s, it appears to be less prevalent.

The solution would appear to be to make conditions good and wages competitive for the newly-trained junior workers to improve retention. However, some industries risk their competitiveness with labor costs above a certain level. I wonder how much of the shortage is due to the intransigence of capital versus true limits for competitive pay. I suspect the former for almost all specialized positions experiencing shortfalls, such as pilots, machinists, CNC operators, and millwrights. For unskilled labor I suspect that the wages cannot climb much higher without harming profits or risking competition from overseas.

A signal is not priority. If there is a vehicle in the lane to your right they are perfectly free to pass, signal or not.
Actually, this shows one of the strengths of self-driving vehicles:

Once an issue like this is found out, acknowledged as a problem, and a fix created, from then on it won't happen again (assuming no regressions). Gradually, the self-driving vehicles should become safer and safer; after several iterations, they should become safer than most human drivers.

That is how commercial aviation became one of the safest means of transport. Every significant incident was reviewed, direct and indirect contributing factors were determined, and new procedures and/or systems developed to reduce the chances of it happening again.

Unfortunately, it will take some time to get there. The initial implementations of self-driving vehicles are going to be less safe than the average human driver, and will remain so until enough experience is gathered. Not every accident is going to be of the "slow speed read-ended while waiting for the light" sort. Google has been getting away with it so far by putting a human on each vehicle, ready to take over on a hair trigger, while still trying to collect enough data to get over the safety cliff. I don't know how far they are, but by having the human assume so early, they are avoiding precisely the sort of difficult situations which could become important learning experiences.
Check out the material-ui `next` branch. It isn't released but I'm using it (and publishing my own private package) for a soon to be production application. While not all components are ported, it has enough to use, run the `docs/site` and see for yourself. The next branch seemingly takes all the complaints from the current release and solves them - really a pleasure to use.
So you can achieve smaller (/obfuscated) binaries by automatically renaming everything in $GOPATH to short unique strings? That would be a neat project.
I read in the newspaper that Boeing has a skills gap with their machinists. The skilled older ones are retiring, and the younger ones aren't experienced enough. There are few in the middle.

What happened? When they had layoffs, the machinist union rules specified the ones with the least number of years of service got laid off first. This left Boeing with a very unbalanced workforce.

I'd disagree with the second one. `[list: 1, 2, 3]` reads more like in English: "I'm going to define a list: one, two, three…". Whereas `[list| 1, 2, 3]` has no obvious vocalization. (Vocalization is an important characteristic for us; it's how `ask` came to have its syntax.) In addition, we usually use `|` in programming languages in a separator kind of way (even `||` for "or" separates expressions), which it's certainly not in the list expression.
Remote work allows me to rotate through several coffee shops and keep my environment fresh. I get to take a nice walk there and back, and pop into my favorite pastry shop on the way. Sometimes I workout during my lunch break. Or even take a little power nap if I so desire.

I hate offices with an intense passion now. Not just offices, but office culture as well - where seniority is gained by being the first in the parking lot and last one out. I'm officially opting out of competing with these drones and focusing on my quality of living. I encourage other developers to do the same :)
> In some cases even allows for an increase in public transit usage, by handling the "last mile" (where individual vehicles are a good solution) and delivering people conveniently to and from train stations (whereupon they can switch to what public transit does efficiently -- moving a large number of people at once).

The article's whole point is that because Uber underprices their service, it could be cheaper to avoid public transit entirely.

> It is possible to make most reflection operations run with no peak time performance overhead at all compared to normal operations.

Hmm... but my discussions with people who have worked on Ruby execution engines say that Ruby's normal operations are slow (because Ruby is constrained to do many slow things for normal invocations). How does Ruby reflection compare to .NET reflection and how does Ruby invocation compare to .NET invocation?
I wonder if these vehicles are programmed to pull over when cops flash their lights/sirens? Do they accept tickets? Can they be towed without the vehicle rebelling (har!)?

The filter for relevance for investment that has overwhelmingly survived in the market is social proof ("warm intros") for a reason: it's substantially more expensive and harder to fake third party signals (including their own quality) than your own.

Why did Google beat all the search directories? The latter used keywords on pages to figure out relevance, which was easily gamed by sites putting up thousands of keywords. Google weighed (still weighs) both the number of links and the quality of each referrer. The SEO vs search relevance war continues to this day, but PageRank gives Google a long term advantage.

The attractiveness of an investment has many variables with the two most important team quality and traction. Many VCs are on record saying they'll fund a pre-product company if the team is worth it.

If a number of high quality referrers are recommending the team, then the team quality variable might override the others. The hype's substance here was the referrer quality.
Yeah article doesn't show the third case, where cyclists consider it 'cutting them off' if you don't let them get to the intersection first - even when you're well ahead of them. I suspect what many complaining cyclists call a "hook turn" is just them not wanting to let cars get in front of them and claiming that's a dangerous situation (when in fact if they were another car they'd have the same obligation to let up and slot in behind the other vehicle).

I don't think most younger devs know or care about Extreme Programming. That book was published 17 years ago.
"Rendering everything outside of X" means directly accessing the GPU. Doing GPU stuff through X is slow and for DRI, the X server gets in the way. And X's 2D rendering primitives are obsolete. You want 2D primitives? It's called libcairo. Wayland provides the missing piece, the only bit of X anyone actually uses: providing buffers to clients to render into to be composited on the display.

Just about everyone who has worked seriously on Linux graphics agrees that X is a problem and Wayland is the solution. You might want to look into why they all say the same thing.
Lets use Rust for an example. While I understand what a lot of operators in Rust do, like let X : Y = Z or !foo, I personally adore the Python habit of starting with a word based grammar and graduating common functionality into more obscure abbreviations (def) or glyphs (%).

Using those examples, let X as Y = Z is just one more letter but eliminates any confusion for someone unfamiliar with the syntax, since its fairly distinct from other C like languages.

Its also not particularly cumbersome for a language to support a ! operator and the keyword "not" for logical negation.

Same with : and "in" in for loops.

That and syntax features like whitespace significance as a basis are IMO great for good style.

For a language like Rust where it is now, adding these optionally would greatly increase my enjoyment of the language, because I generally like programming that I can read like Python, despite having a half decade of C++ experience so its not for a lack of benefit from the terseness.

Your initial list pretty much exactly describes Pyret. It doesn't have JS's warts, but still runs in the browser entirely. It's higher-level than C and C++. It doesn't require types or a JVM. It isn't like Perl in any of the zany ways. It's a bit like Python and with totally sane scoping. And it's very much like Scheme but with conventional (infix) syntax and lists, sets, maps… And it's used in several high schools already.

I'm a much better developer than I was 10 years ago, and I was pretty damn good then, but even when I'm 50, there will be people whose talent and ways of thinking about programming at 25 will be much superior to mine.

And every year, my intuition about what constitutes bloat vs developer convenience, and when to just throw hardware (physical or cloud) at a problem that could be fixed via developer time, gets slight slightly more out of date.
I don't know the specific circumstances in the US - but at least one thing is definitely desired everywhere - pay more for "rapid" transit - stops at fewer stops?

You can share UI code between platforms if you want, though!

At least Android + iOS. Some components are platform-
specific but at least on a small simple app I've been successful sharing my UI code.
First of all you have systemd-logind that tracks "sessions" (using a different definition to the one found inside the kernel, natch) and "seats", that then polkit talks to via dbus (yay...), and then the DE talks to polkit (again via dbus).

These then try to tie a video output, and at least one input device (mouse, keyboard, whatsnot) to a specific seat (as defined by systemd-logind) so that only associated (systemd-logind defined) sessions can interact with them.

Note that all this happens above the kernel, that (as best i can tell) do not have a concept of a seat, and sessions are tracked on a tty basis.

And ttys used to be physical devices connected to the computer via a serial connection (and still can be even on Linux, nice for getting those early kernel errors onto something that do not go poof the moment the GPU driver code do a belly flop).

Never mind that X was designed to work as a graphical tty of sorts. Thus rather than try to stuff raw bitmaps down the wire, the client code running on the computer would send draw command primitives (line from X,X to Y,Y, square with top left corner at A,A and bottom right at B,B, that sort of stuff) that the X server sitting on a desk somewhere would turn into a GUI.

I think Xscreensaver still use that for drawing the "screen lock" password prompt and launch popup.
