i suspect that even without the ridiculous hoops, the incompetent will always spend a disproportionate percentage of their time job hunting, and thus making the hiring process challenging.

It depends on app and developer tool support. Raskell (Haskell IDE for iOS) and Pythonista (Python IDE for iOS) are fun enough to use. While I would really like IntelliJ and RubyMine on my iPad Pro, I really like macOS.

All this said, I like to see completion. There are some very interesting Window 10 hybrid devices, and the new tiltable desktop Surface look interesting. I hope that there is never a 'winner take all' for consumer devices.
That doesn't really work very well. News as a product means you give the customers what they ask for, not what they need. If they ask for lies, it's not fraud.

However, news as a public service has standards of liability to the public in general, not just to your own customers. It is an obligation to society, not to the buyer.

It's especially beneficial to the UX when attention is driven towards the user task. It's easier to digest short, helpful animation than reading through a block of text.

No user wants a repeat of 90's animated gif obsession or the 00's overly dramatic Flash craze. Hopefully we don't regress because of more recent advanced animation capabilities.
As for your last point, I see that here in Japan as well. There are a lot of vending machines here that sell alcohol (5% beer, 8% alcopop and shochu) with no monitoring or ID checks. And it just doesn't seem to be a problem at all. (although TBH, the cigarette machines do require an ID card to be scanned)
Thanks for this, just posted it at my desk
This doesn't make you an idiot. Being able to trust that this basic functionality (access controlled push/pull) will be available is why I pay for GitHub and decided to wait until GitLab stopped having avoidable, serious outages before considering them as an alternative.
Here in Toronto, we have both. In fact, one location of a grocery chain might allow you to tag and weigh your own items, whereas another location of the same grocery chain might require an attendant (usually right next to the automated machines) to verify it.

I've seen one location go from requiring an assistant to allowing full self-serve.

Not sure about the U.S. but I have the impression that there must be places which are similar in the U.S.
No it's not?

The definition of fake news is getting stretched to include controversial news.

"Fake news" is fiction being sold as news on websites that look credible.

Flat out making stuff up, and polluting the media stream with it in order to manipulate people.

This is the easy case to solve. As people actually try to grapple with this, "fake news" will evolve, it will add parts of the truth to it dodge this 0th level definition.

A dossier actually compiled but unverified is still not fake news - it's a shady bad practice circa 1990. Unfortunately we're dealing with much worse problems today.
Perhaps your worry is unfounded:

Even working with the specific material of film header is surprisingly common in experimental/artists film.

See e.g.

Guy Sherwin "At The Academy" (using standard Academy header)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=agQsAS6T_Lk

Birgit and Wilhelm Hein's "Materialfilme" is just colored header which bears the marks of repeated projection. https://www.edition-filmmuseum.com/product_info.php/language...

Those are from the 60s and 70s. Artists are still at it, e.g. Lucy Raven, RP31, (2012):

I'm not judging Raven's work but I for one am no longer interested in variations of this genre of film...
as a child, i used to go over to my friend's house on my bike and a bunch of us would play D&D in the basement. afterwards, we'd get on our bikes and ride through the foggy streets alone, trying our best not to accidentally cross the path of a demogorgon.

one time, we met this weird girl with really short hair and telekinetic powers. she needed a place to stay, so we hid in her in my friend's basement.

it was pretty creepy. sure am glad that's over.
No. The majority of vegetables I buy (in Canada but it's the same in the US as far as I've seen) are not pre-packaged. Self checkouts have a scale built into them that you weigh your own produce and punch in the code to say what kind of food it is. It's trivial to cheat if you want, but most people are honest. This is also true in hardware store self checkouts where you buy loose items and the store relies on you being honest about punching in the correct code when you check out.
Drafting techniques. My uncle was trained in drafting and blueprinting.
I've now worked at two companies in that space -- a startup I cofounder in 97, and a much later-stage startup I recently joined -- and all I can say is... shrug

The company I'm currently at is certainly making things better for a subset of candidates, but what we do is largely orthogonal to these issues.

> So build stuff that completely disrupts entire industries, and eliminates whole categories of jobs, but STFU about it's actual effect on people?

Yes. The jobs weren't their responsibility when the existed and shouldn't be when they're gone. We have other entities to worry about things like that, governments.
There's a linux kernel security feature named seccomp[1] too, in case you didn't already know. Changing it would maybe avoid confusion.

What are you looking at? According to Wikipedia(1), it is 3.9/100,000 in the USA, and 16 in the Americas. From the source(2), it was less than 1 in the USA by 1800.

There also variable crime by region in America. Baltimore, St Louis, Detroit and New Orleans have homicide rates around 50. That's higher than any country in Africa or the Middle East.

Yep. Happens in Michigan, just 15 minutes outside of a city with 200k people.
I don't think that was implied.

That immigrant founders tend to be amazing people statistically makes a lot of sense. The US government doesn't just hand out visas. They go to highly educated, successful people. So when comparing the highest achievers from another country with the average achievers from our own country, of course immigrants look good. Comparing our highest achievers with highest achievers from abroad would yield a more even comparison.

There are of course also seasonal worker visas and such, but those immigrants are not the ones founding companies (nor stealing jobs unless you want to break your back in a field all day).

There's another reasonable takeaway: GitLab will probably now prepare for this sort of thing better than the average competitor who hasn't been bitten by this.
Not that the majority of users have that. Even eschewing those outside of wealthy countries, most users are on mobile devices (laptops, tablets, cell phones). Of those who have desktop PCs, very few have terabyte SSDs and even fewer have 32gb of RAM. For most people, RAM is probably somewhere between 4-8GB.

I think this phenomenon depends on the nation/neighborhood.

For example, I was watching videos of Seoul subways systems and the expat was commenting how young kids were going about on their own to school and such, without adult supervision.

Same with Tokyo too.

But yes, I don't let my kids out. I would only if I lived in a gated, nice community. But I don't so they rarely go out on their own, except for soccer games, school etc...

Man, what have we done?
When I lived at this apartment two years ago I did not pay anywhere near market rent. The building was run more as a hobby than a business to be completely honest. So long as the bills were paid and the family members that lived off the income were taken care of, the rent didn't change.

This was a huge matter of contention for my family.
You lose the "freedom of thought" simply because a computer does exactly the same thing that a good salesman would do, simply at scale?
good. that's a 5x increase of efficiency and should be lauded.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Pretty fantastical post, seeing as Github had a severe outage on 1.27.2017. I'd also guesstimate Github has at least 2 to 3 major outages per year (a mix of DDoS and human errors)

Setting up a DigitalOcean droplet or AWS instance would have only added a few dollars and extra minutes to your transfer today. The benefit would be to reduce dependencies on external service that are vital to your core product.

Always remember, when you don't host your code you don't have full control of your code. To me having 100% ownership of your source should be the foundation to any software-driven organization
No one said tech doesn't effect people.
Not exactly. Typically there will be a sign that lets you know how much the produce is per imperial pound. There are analog scales there that you can use to weigh your produce to give you an idea of how much it will be, but the real digital scales are at checkout. At self-checkout you put the produce onto a scale and then click on the picture of the produce your are purchasing so the computer can correlate the weight with the item. There isn't anything stopping you from clicking the picture of a cheaper produce item other than the honesty system.
I am sick of the "They are transparent so it's ok" argument. The fact is this type of thing should not happen anymore.. I get it, stuff fails but it's not acceptable to lose production data at this scale and save face by being transparent. That was ok back in 2003.. Not anymore.

Here in the UK, like the US, the self-checkout machines have built-in scales that weigh your produce and calculate the price automatically.

There's no extra tags involved, you just have to select what the produce is if it doesn't have a barcode.

There is indeed an opportunity to "cheat" by weighing something expensive but telling the machine it's something cheap like onions or potatoes.

But the machines can be monitored remotely from a security station, so there is a small chance you'd get caught. That keeps most people pretty honest.

I'm sure a few cheats do slip though, but the losses from this sort of thing are presumably much less than the savings from employing less checkout staff!

These already exist, they're just expensive.
What network effects? Awareness was an issue before the internet but we have instant global news coverage now, so what does this particular strike (which is not civil disobedience) do?
Which is still business as usual and has solutions elsewhere.

America and the world have a situation where advertisers need to prey on the Id and emotions of users in order to sell widgets. The advent of the internet crushed the ability of media firms to stay afloat and replaced the ecosystem with many upstarts who also faced the same pressure.

In short there's an overheating attention grabbing system when it comes to the media, which is its own issue that needs to be solved.

Unfortunately there's a new hitherto unbelievable problem, where people fabricate complete and utter lies/fiction and can sail it down the streams of social media.

This is different from the older issue in that these are not major news agencies, but websites masquerading/camouflaging themselves as a news outlet and fabricating stories designed to directly press emotional buttons without having to deal with facts.

A closer model is conspiracy theories.
I was born in the early 80s as well. I was way out in the suburbs and took the bus to school, but there were plenty of kids that walked. (Occasionally a teacher would forget to unlock the back gate and you'd see them all standing there in the morning when the first bell rang ... usually followed by an announcement of how none of the walkers should be counted late).

I walked everywhere, which even then, wasn't all that common. It was ~2 miles (4km) to church, and there were several times when other parents would stop and offer me rides.

In the mid-2000s I was in Cincinnati, and noticed a lot of the neighbourhoods close to the city usually had squares with the usual restaurants, ice cream shops, bars, etc. It was refreshing to see teenagers out in the evening in the weekend. They had places that were easily walk-able to meet up with friends (even though the bus there is less than ideal).

I would have much rather grown up in that kind of environment that way out in the suburbs where you needed rides eveywhere and few of your friends were in walking distance.
Refactoring Towards Resilience
I agree with this. For an open source project it's just going to be ridiculous. "Hey you know all that free work you already do? Well now you can troubleshoot some user's OS issues as well! Doesn't that sound like fun, we all know you love unpaid work!"
And how do you ensure you're not going to have the same problem at the next place.
Nah, no need to think about backup now.

Stuff like this only happens once :) haha,

To be fair, I suspect gitlab will a adopt a 'never-again' policy towards making sure their backups work.
> already weighed and tagged portions

generally no. They do sell stuff like that as well, but most is out in the open and you bag yourself. And then punch in the item codes or look them up at the self checkout. There's no real check, although sometimes they catch people cheating by reviewing video.
Its my impression from the histories I've read of my city (Chicago) that black people certainly didn't have 6 miles of uninterrupted neighborhoods where it would be safe for them to meander in.

Further, Italians, Jews, and Eastern Europeans were still very much segregated into smaller enclaves than that. The Irish were only recently able to move about freely at that point, and there were certainly places they couldn't go.

The larger point of this article seems to be, rural people have more space, which doesn't seem to have much value as an observation.
I think it's perfectly appropriate to use violence to take back the object that you crafted and someone stole from you. I don't think it's appropriate to use violence to force someone to hand over an object they crafted and which they never agreed to cede to you.

I would be surprised if there were any organizational overhead to speak of for MS in maintaining the two.

I sure wouldn't, because I worked on the VB.NET compiler team back in 2008-2009, and "organizational overhead" was pretty much the whole game. The VB and C# compilers were completely separate codebases, managed by parallel but non-overlapping teams of engineers. We never touched the C# compiler's codebase, and the C# people never touched VB. (I did once read through a piece of the C# compiler source code, to see how they'd implemented a feature I was supposed to be reimplementing for VB, so I could be sure to use the same semantics: but that was it.)

We had lots of meetings, though. Oh, god, so many meetings. So much time burned keeping all those parallel projects in sync. Whatever commonality the languages have occurs through endless soul-crushing hours of almost-pointless meetings sorting out how these two separate pieces of software are both going to be modified to do pretty much the same thing, with almost exactly the same syntax. Every new feature had to be designed twice over, implemented twice over, tested twice over, and documented twice over. They may look like twin languages, but the illusion is maintained via massive, ongoing investment of sheer brute force man-hours.

Maybe things have changed since I was there, but it's really difficult to imagine how that could happen. The VB compiler was effectively legacy code, a horrible creaky mess of ancient patched-together bullshit, and nobody wanted to touch it any more than necessary for fear of breaking something. Refactoring was totally out of the question. I cannot imagine an organization as sclerotic as devdiv managing to rally the effort it would take to rewrite it - safely! - such that the VB and C# codebases could be combined far enough that they would no longer need to have a separate VB compiler team.
What? You could put them in the car and drive around. What else are you going to do, running on foot to find them?
I don't want to blame any parents for the desire of knowing where their kids are and that they're save. But at the same time I'm very glad that I was born two decades before parents started to think that making their kids carying a GPS tracker is the prequisite for "more freedom".

I'm sure my parents were better off many times with not knowing where I was. So I think the psychological part isn't going to play out well - at least for the kids.
>It is still doxing. It doesn't matter if it is a criminal or not.

The term "doxing" is almost exclusively used for outing people using pseudonyms online. I've never heard it applied to an attempt to identify a random criminal.

>Reddit doesn't have a place being involved in this. Look at how the Boston Bomber situation turned out.

And how did that turn out? I mean, in the end. A lynching? I must have missed it.

>If you think someone commited a crime and you have evidence take it to the police. If they want community help in hunting someone down then they will ask the community.

Sometimes the cops need to be prodded into doing their jobs. I know there are people on the left cheering this assault because they don't like the victim, but I'd really rather not see political violence become commonplace in the US.

EDIT: By the way, I like your "If you think someone committed a crime..." formulation, as if there's some question whether or not something illegal happened.

> GitLab cost everyone a day

GitLab isn't popular because of the stability of its cloud platform. It's popular because you can install your own instance for free practically anywhere with minimal effort.

I run GitLab CE on a box in my server closet for projects that involve livelihoods.
I'm tired of this claim that kids today are less free-roaming.
Such articles never seem to provide empirical evidence to back it up.
The term "helicopter parent" is thrown around as if it has some sort of scientific definition. In actuality, it is just a pejorative used to label any parent we have observed being overprotective.

These claims about a societal shift serve only to tickle persons' biases that kids today are coddled, lack personal responsibility, and generally thin-skinned. (On the contrary, parenting styles are as diverse as children themselves.)

Never mind that adults' personal anecdotes about their childhoods are unreliable and subject to massive bias.
Think about it: Most people have scarcely any vivid memories of their 0-5 years. Many claim that they were allowed to roam free back in the day. Adults remember being allowed to run around, seemingly unsupervised. They are oblivious to protective steps taken by their parents. Most everyone with children knows the parenting tactic of giving kids the impression of freedom while taking discreet steps to protect them from harm.
Great, I love it so far, and turns out F# is really an evolution of OCaml - so you sort of get two for one.
