I know a lot of older people who will continue to be hyperconsumers until their dying day. They are in constant battles with the cable/phone/etc. companies over fine-print terms they signed without reading. They are also overwhelmingly pro-Trump republicans.

I fully expect all of them to be burned by this at some point in time, and I also expect about half of them to still find some way to blame it on Obama--even in the year 2020!

I'd also like to second spectrum1234's comment. None of those things are really necessities. There are not enough hours in the day or enough gold in the world to sustain a government that attempts to protect people from their own stupidity.

Las tdoctors visit I had I wanted to go through a list of 6 issues. I scheduled the longest available time slot, 45 minutes. I wasn't sure how long it would take, but assumed I'd be able to take as much time as I needed within those 45 minutes.

The doctor, after number 3 in my list and less than 15 minutes into the appointment said "Are you done?" After item 4 a couple minutes later he said "Is that it?" In a condescending manner.

Needless to say, I was pissed.

But, the thing is, it's not the doctors fault. He's working in a system that values throughput over all else...and this is Kaiser, a vertically integrated provider where you would think that would be less of an issue. So he was late to my appointment and saw my long appointment as a way to get back on schedule to ensure he saw the 40 patients he had to see that day.

The whole system is broken.
(I'm writing this in Firefox Beta for Android, for what it's worth.)

You misunderstand--I desperately wanted FirefoxOS phones to succeed, precisely because an Open Web and free software is important, and ultimately a phone that can run any arbitrary software or OS. I know FirefoxOS wasn't that, but it seemed to be a step in the right direction. But if a phone is a lousy application platform and if developers can't be enticed to hack on them, then the question of freedom is moot.

There's a huge difference between abusing people and refusing to coddle them, and I'm not sure this article reflects that very well.

"unless I help create environments where all participants are willing to speak up" is an example of actively trying to appeal to a group of people, not an example of not abusing people. It might be a worthy goal, but let's not use words like "abuse" so lightly.

> abuse newcomers for still being in the process of learning

Project maintainers have a finite amount of available time, and dealing with inexperienced people who are wasting your time, even if they have perfectly good intentions, is simply not practical. To pick on Linus, since he's mentioned in this article, he has no choice except to be an asshole to people who try to add shitty stuff to Linux, because if he didn't scare those people off, he would waste all his time politely turning them away and never get anything done.

I have a few projects I've done over the years that have evidently reached a fair number of people, and I have to ignore probably 90% of the emails and github interactions I receive from people because the requests are often very stupid and unproductive. I can't imagine how bad it must be for a huge project like Linux.

And then, towards the beginning and end of the article, the author gets into stuff like encouraging diversity (not sure what they mean by that) and going to feminist workshops. Maybe that's a good idea for some people, who knows, but not really wanting to spend your time on stuff like that does not mean you are "abusing" contributors in some way. It's a dishonest and dirty rhetorical trick to try to conflate "extensive personal abuse" and failing to sufficiently immerse oneself in the political culture advocated in the article.

Ironically, one of the things that scares me the most about interacting with the open source community is people like this, who demand that you invest time and resources into whatever "inclusive" political ideology they're trying to sell you, or else you're actively harming (abusing!) other people in the community. They try to subvert otherwise productive communities, making politically motivated and technically useless pull requests (e.g. https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/3185) or institute political rules called things like "codes of conduct" that allow them to exclude people that don't agree with whatever they're advocating under the banner of inclusivity.
An Introduction into Modern JavaScript

Probably not a realistic concern.

But.

Lots of things seem to be in motion now that many people said could never possibly happen. An actual executive order on building a wall on the US/Mexico border. Government agencies unconventionally being silenced -- even if a presidential gag order on government agencies makes sense and should be allowed in certain conditions, these present conditions are nothing if not hostile.

So it seems like this administration is proving that it doesn't care about convention, or if it comes off as aggressive and hostile towards the ideals it objects to.

So... still probably not a justified fear, but we're closer to a reality where it is justifiable than we ever thought possible.

American milk is just fine.

I suspect your gut bacteria are simply unused to the new environment (possibly including the milk). The same kind of thing happens to most people when they travel overseas. As a child I spent most summers in Mexico. Within the first few weeks I would have a bout of serious diarrhea and vomiting, literally every year. But native Mexicans who ate the same things didn’t have the same problem, being well adapted.

Anyway, what specific type of milk are we talking about? Full fat homogenized milk? Skim milk? Unhomogenized milk?

In the German case you might also be talking about UHT milk, which is common in many countries (not sure about Germany) but vanishingly rare in the USA? I think that stuff is awful, YMMV.

Reading this makes me so happy. I abandoned FF shortly after Chrome became popular due to severe performance issues, haven't looked back since. I've gotten into web development professionally since and Firefox always seemed to be that block IE used to be, it just always rendered random stuff differently than every other browser...

I switched from Chrome to Safari when I switched to macOS and I'm relatively happy with it, even though it is not as fast, but recent trends have me so worried about the future. With all the BS going on at Google, I have kinda began not to trust companies who develop browsers with closed source to keep their customers' interests in line with their own goals. Now I appreciate Firefox a lot more, I have great respect for it. If these improvements turn out to be completely accurate and FF can at least approximate Chrome on performance, I would happily switch back and stay with Mozilla.
The ratings are not for you, or the customer leaving it. They are for other customers. The problem is, you think something is for you, that is not for you, and you are asking for everyone to behave like it is for you, and you are telling them that, if they don't treat it like it is for you, that you don't want them as a customer.

Fair enough, if that's the way you feel, but if that's really what you want ... put it on the app page, not some off-store forum. I question your sincerity.

Smash this gender-binary reaffirming bullshit. It's disgusting that as a society we believe that roles of nurturing or softness are inappropriate for men and that hardness is inappropriate for women. These mentalities trickle upwards too. If you ever wonder why there is a gender gap in the talent pipeline in SV, look no further than people like this spouting off misogynistic views on what is and isn't acceptable work for men and women.

Who carries without a holster?
So is the only benefit of wasting that space and CPU so you can bill your platform/project/whatever as being "js" and C/C++-free? What does a no standard library JS buy you over a no standard library C++11 everyone else is using these days, besides the pain and trouble of dealing with a dynamically typed language without native debugging support?

Why is there so much stigma against _learning_ to code in something other than $favlang these days? Most hard core developers I know appreciate the importance of using the right tool for the job, I don't see embedded/desktop developers shying away from using whatever the native toolkit/language is for their chosen platform and instead shoehorning $x to fit as much as we see this constant trend to try to use "web tech" everywhere. (Scripting in embedded systems has long been a solved problem: use lua.)
Why was this comment by ajmurmann flagged? Up to now that seems the best evidence provided for answering my question even though I think it is relatively weak evidence and it lacks a source for the second paragraph.

Well the EPA had been asked by Trump's transition team to provide a list of employees who have attended conferences about climate change. See NPR story: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/12/09/505041927/....

They have also removed all mentions of climate change from the white House website and we now many Republicans don't believe in man made climate change. So I think this is an entirely reasonable fear. We are talking about a administration that thinks that getting coal out of the ground like it's 1910 is the future...

"If you like writing..."

For me it is the opposite. I like not having to type any more than necessary. I like writing as little code as possible.

I also like being able to read through a program listing without having to wade through page upon page of long, camel case function names, and trying to follow five levels of indentation.

Not because I think that is the "wrong" approach for everyone but because I personally struggle with overcoming language and documentation verbosity in order to make any progress. It is the wrong approach for me. I wonder if perhaps this is how it feels for the typical programmer, in the OP's comment, who might struggle with a lack of verbosity.

Sometimes I streamedit (search and replace) blocks of code to remove indentation and shorten long function names to two letter labels, just so I can read without distraction.

What are the chances of finding someone who has the same preference for terseness and who is as skilled as Arthur Whitney?

q.k is about 240 lines in the version I am using. Most of the functions in .q, .Q and the other namespaces fit on a single line. This is a thing of beauty, IMO. For me, this makes studying the language manageable.

Someone in this thread posted a fizzbuzz solution last week that I thought illustrated how one can "work outward", incrementally adding primitives to the left or right to keep modifying output until the desired result is reached.

I use kdb+ daily but I'm a slow learner and still not very good with composing programs from scratch in k.

What little I have written was also done by "working outward", so the fizzbuzz example gave me some hope maybe I'm not too far off track. Thank you for that example. I hope we see some more.

I am thankful k exists, even if the intepreter is not open source and there's no BSD port.

As someone else commented somewhere, perhaps the most awkward aspect of k is getting it to interface with anything else. I think this is what keeps me from using it more frequently for more daily tasks.

But this may be more of a problem with everything else, and not necessarily with k.

I wish a more competent C programmer than I would write a lightweight replacement using linenoise or libedit to substitute for "rlwrap".

This may be sexist, but generally speaking, men are best in high-intensity/low-stamina situations while women are best in low-intensity/high-stamina situations. This applies to mental work as well as physical.

Generally speaking...

Think of it in evolutionary terms: Man hunts (high-intensity) and kills. Animal feeds the family a day or so while the man rests. Woman nurses and protects the kids. With kids, you don't get breaks.

Because that capability is too valuable. So if you're interested in writing code that can do that you can find someone to make your life comfortable on the condition that they get to keep your code. If repo of code starts growing that can do that someone will come offering them candies :-).

As it gets a bit more common place, or if tools to do some of the heavy lifing get out.

The 'facts' that I referred to are the results of correlation studies as published in science journals. The diets you mention are mainstream fads.

You're right, though, it is frustrating! My personal opinion is that it is the way we use food for pleasure and comfort that it is to blame. We are literally getting high on what we eat, which is deleterious for health if performed without break for long periods. But there's no obvious way for a scientist to address this idea at present; it would be considered too subjective and thus ignored by the majority.

"Lessons learned under former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a Conservative who was accused of muzzling scientists during his term, initially energized a "race" to save the U.S. government's climate data. Activists also studied policy papers by members of Trump's transition team to get a sense of what might be at risk.

But what they have witnessed so far has been "unprecedented," Murphy said, and "much more intense and publicly celebrated" than the precedent set in Canada.

"The transition team and Trump administration are very upfront and promoting of this plan; it's not that this is surreptitious," Murphy said."

As someone who has done some osdev on the ARM, this is true to a degree.

It's similar to ia32 vs amd64. From amd64, you can ensure that SSE exists and guarantee that certain legacy features don't need to be coded around. Plus additional GP registers are always nice and you know they're there (despite usually leaving that to a compiler to manage).

With aarch64, you can ensure that VFP3+ and NEON both exist for FPU capabilities and choose between them at your behest (FP accuracy vs speed). You also get a few cryptographic features (AES, a couple SHA's and finite field arithmetic). However, with x86 you're able to use the CPUs (more or less) with feature flags since you can test for features in real-time. ARM doesn't offer this to near the degree (since there is no BIOS/UEFI in most boards), so you either code/compile directly for a certain CPU and it's features or use something like U-Boot/Linux's device tree spec files to hint at a boards feature set. You also have different entry points, clock speeds, memory maps, etc. This is why you see most Linux/FreeBSD/Android releases released per-board vs generic installers like with x86.
But a collection of consistently good enough components is better than tying together two dozen different things of wildly different quality and conventions.

I hear this a lot about Django. The ORM is really good but "not as good as SQLAlchemy". The templates are great but "Jinja is better".

The thing is that as an engineer I value that the components are incremental improvements with sane defaults where change is deliberate and the benefits of what I'm missing out on are truly, honestly irrelevant. There's really very few times where I said to myself, "Oh of only my templating language had better support for these idioms". I just write a decent workaround because I've been using the same tool for years and it's maintainable and the total number of workarounds is so small that there are no good reasons to switch to an alternative even in the long term.

This is much better than the alternative of looking for 5 alternatives for the same component, discarding the first 3, using one for a month until I find it has fatal flaws, and finally settling for the last one.
