The post she linked to as something she had written before essentially equivocates "that CEO who had several men who had raped female employees kept on staff because they were good coders" with someone that has hired people they know, have good personal relationships with and have a similar background to.

It might sound weird and foreign to these SJW types, but when you're a fresh grad or someone with a couple of years experience and you go start a startup, you're unlikely to care about your diversity quota. You hire people that you already knew. Fellow university students, people from former jobs, that sort of thing.
I think you mean 'shed/cast light on'. The author believes that having a family to support (apparently that's a characteristic of latecomers) makes them deserving of a more equal stake. What if the founder planned on making a family thanks to his big stake?

edit: I tried being more charitable about the article - "give more than one percent to people, sure"- but most of it is still irrational.

What's the best way of scp'ing from a remote server connection to local machine, if the local machine isn't externally accessible (e.g. isn't running SSH)?

e.g.

remote$ # oh, I need to copy file.txt back to my local host
remote$ #?
Most divsoup-layouts are not semantic at all, either.
A competing service that continues BAU without participating has the result of undermining the aim of the strike - to disrupt services.

The term 'strike-break' is usually used when that service has some obligation or agreement to participate in the first place. In this case, the strike was ineffective because there was enough competition/redundancy to cope with the withdrawn services.
Unfortunately this isn't possible for a service like this. If money passes through the hands of the app-creator than they have to hire an accountant, take on risk, and file tax returns. Not possible with a non-comercial service.

Yes it is. Besides just syncing the data there are a huge number of other performance hits.

> of course you don't need to store the attachments etc.

Why not? Do you want to a) drop support for searching through attachments (like pdfs) or b) not encrypt those?

> companies are not incentivized to solve this problem.

There has been huge improvements in the last few years in this space (take Signal as an example). But major email providers are not incentivized because most users don't care, UX and performance suffer, email is inherently an unsafe (even if you put PGP on top [1]) and because they would not be able to make as much ad revenue (worse targeting).

Always interesting to see this. Looks a lot like a 4k synth I did myself many years ago. It also amuses me to see that almost everybody was using those RBJ biquad filters.
I appreciate the concerns of the libre community when it comes to the world we're building: where you have to strongly identify yourself to do almost anything (hail a taxi, buy bread, use public transport, etc.), but taxis are a place where strong identification is good for both parties.

This is very puzzling for me. You know, volkswagen as volkswagen, they will do anything to increase profit, but how it's possible that people buy those? Because it's not that thet they produced more cars, someone buy it. I can't understand how company having such long miserable history of cheating it's own customers (one sample, manufacturing defected TFSI engines they refuse to repair under warranty), and society as a whole (poisoned by deadly particles that shouldn't be emitted), still is commonly desired.

I was searching for new in 2015, also considering VW, but they were overpriced, especially if you don't want basic version. After some research we decided to buy Toyota. They were maybe little delayed in terms of design and equipment, even slightly old-fashioned. But on the other hand they have long history of solid reliability. Of cource they have some bummers (like some d4-d engines), but at least Toyota always tried to fix them, even after warranty.

I assume you mean 'a free software project' rather than 'an OSS'.

Well no, that's my point. Free software projects don't have governors, they have maintainers. They don't have non-profits and boards and diversity quotas and codes of conducts, they have mailing lists and BDFLs and coding standards and banhammers.

This politicisation and corporatisation of free software is not good for free software.
The premise is good, alas that is not enough to make for an entertaining movie.

There's 100% of a company to go around. Here are the options.

1. Founder takes 100%, no one else gets anything.

2. Everyone that joins gets an equal share, which approaches a minuscule amount as more people join.

3. Some people get more than others. Some get none.

Which of the above is the author advocating for? There's no actual follow up on what the author would do with regards to equity. She only speaks about salary.

> That means paying juniors very well, paying late stage employees well and fairly. It means treating people as humans.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement, but it has nothing to do with the original quote the article was written about.
And that will be taxi drivers going around with lots of cash in their pocket. Not at all an attractive target for criminals.
But that's not what Uber/Lyft does. And this is said to be an alternative to that.
He didn't say he uses traditional taxi's, maybe he has the same concerns for drivers in this situation. Also, I imagine a taxi company has some forms of insurance against people not paying, etc.

I'm in the process of teaching the general public, including schools, colleges, the aged, etc. about remaining safe and secure on the internet. One of the engagements was when somebody I knew heard about it at a corporate and called me in to educate a large batch of new joinees from colleges. Next up: administrative staff in the office buildings and also employees. Though I'm funding it entirely from my own pocket now, based on the conversations I've had, I think companies will be willing to support it in the future - not to a level of profit, but to keep it running and so that I can pay experts for more their time and more content. I hope that will also cover the expenses when we do workshops at poorer schools and apartments and for senior citizens, where it is going to be entirely free for the attendees.

I also added a bitcoin and ethereum donation address recently. I've got nothing from it yet, but maybe you can try that also.
That's a problem for sure but last week I looked into creating a family tree with the basics of HTML and CSS and the following nested lists seems to be the best solution according to forums.

>Containerisation seems like the only way to do this that doesn't involve keeping packages and system configurations in sync in two or more systems.

In a nutshell, this is why I'm now hooked on docker. I can reproducibly build things on my macbook without tearing up the system packages, and I can deploy them to my small datacenter without thinking twice.

I'd suggest you at least try it out.
I'd rather be a hermit.

I am the sole front end developer at ReportDash, an online report and dashboard builder. We use backbone, backbone layout manager & coffee script and never ever once regretted the choice. The code is highly organised, thanks to the structure provided by backbone layout manager, and is pretty much readable and extensible. And not even once I felt limited by the framework.

The code has got quite complex over time, and I strongly suspect I would have gone mad if I had used a different framework. I used to wonder why the hype over react, vue, angular etc.

>Any time you hear, "taking the most risk" replace it with "have the most privilege and resources."

This is absurd and adolescent.

I know people who are extremely privileged, and don't make any sacrifices or take any risks, just so they can avoid discomfort, and I know people with very few resources, who sacrifice and suffer in order to start companies. Being an entrepreneur is a risky venture, and hard on one's health and wealth, and many lose it all in the process.

Shame on the author for making such a ridiculous blanket characterization about entrepreneurs that discounts their sacrifice, in the name of brain-dead socialist ideology.
such a great tool, so easy to use, much better than top, though that is my own opinion
Xenophobia is an intense, irrational, pathological dislike or fear, and connotes something pathological. Bias (in this case, tribalism bias) is something that's a pretty well ingrained aspect of human psychology, and something everyone has. While a common usage of bias has the connotation of something unfair, it's also used in a stricter sense to indicate these inborn aspects of the human psyche. My original comment was intended to point out this distinction. I should have taken the time to be clearer.

As for racism, sexism, and so on, or the political aspects of these, or xenophobia, those are beyond what I was addressing in my first comment, and not a mess I'm interested in digging into right now.

Come on, rationality as a concept of the mind is unapplicable to reality. Reality just is.

Genetic patterns, for example, are not rational or irrational. Some of them encode genes for proteins, so they are preserved by the evolution processes (mutations in, say, hemoglobin would be selected out). Some of them are random noise. The whole thing is stochastic - random mutation occur, so God plays a dice, but some patterns managed to propagate itself, so here is some determinism within stochasticity. That is basic life.

And then everything builds up upon it, up to french existentialists, speculating about abstract freedom.

I think people confuse terminal with ssh, or even netcat with SSH.

Netcat doesn't use SSH, it uses raw TCP pretty much.

There are versions of Netcat which can use SSL/TLS it should still work with this if you download those builds.

That said I can't recommend using a service that uploads your data to some random site, and worse basically tells you to just "download" some data that will be input into your terminal from some random site.
This whole thing looks like a social experiment of how many secrets can I get from people who should know better...

This is the situation I am currently finding myself in. I work as a telephone switch administrator for an independent phone company in Canada. I've had this just for 13 years now, it was the only job I've had since university. My undergrad is in computer science. I ended up with this job because the company bought out a friend's ISP that I was helping run when I was in high school. It was a good job, nice company, they treat me very well. Pay isn't quite at industry standards, but back then I was living in an isolated Northern Ontario Community, so it was a decent job. Plus it allowed me to work from home.

But I love programming. I've been doing it ever since I was a kid on a Commodore 64. While I do get to do a good amount of programming, I wish I could do more. It would be awesome to get more into systems or embedded programming. I recently moved to Ottawa, one of Canada's major tech hubs, and I've been sending out resumes everywhere. So far I've only gotten one interview, which was at Shopify. But I didn't make it past the initial interview--there were too many other applicants with more experience than me. I've applied to other telecom related vendors as well, like Cisco, Genband, Nokia, etc. but I've never gotten a callback.

Now I find myself wishing that after graduating university I'd taken an internship at Nortel or someplace like that, so that I'd have it on my resume, and focused on my programming career rather than just keeping the same job. I find that all entry level job postings are for new graduates only. I've contemplated doing my masters so that I could "reboot" my career so to speak and become a "new graduate."

How to add “Add to Homescreen” popup in web app
This article could hardly be more wrong or ignorant. It presents the exact opposite of what the radical majority of business founders actually face. eg:

> Any time you hear, "taking the most risk" replace it with "have the most privilege and resources." Works well.

In two decades of building Internet companies, I've taken side jobs, made endless trade-offs with regards to my life, willingly suffered immensely to pursue what I want to do with my life (no, your opinion doesn't matter on my suffering to pursue what I want and whether that's the wrong way to go about life because you say so), and I did so while having very few resources in most instances. My first efforts were usually started at a cost of a few hundred or thousands of dollars.

What it means to take the most risk: I will work as long and hard as necessary without a paycheck - if necessary - to give my business the best shot I can at succeeding. The business is mine, I do not treat it as a job (no, your opinion does not matter on that either), I started it, it belongs to me first and foremost. Employees overwhelmingly do not behave that way, they properly (emphasis) leave if you do not pay them.

Most business founders are of this mold. It's incredibly hard to get a business off the ground, it takes countless painful trade-offs to do so. It frequently requires years of time during which your paycheck can be between non-existent or being very slight. The article is either intentionally pushing propaganda, or ignorant of what most business creators go through.

Yes. I had a lot of problems. In my late 30s, I worked at a large multinational for 10 years doing... some kind of middlemanagement sharepoint stuff that makes my brain fall asleep just thinking about it. For about the last 4 years i knew i had to get out, but never did.

Eventually redundancy was offered and i went for it, all eager to throw myself far away from microsoft vista, sharepoint and balanced scorecards into the brave new ubuntu/os-x, ruby, agile world.

I worked on side projects, i built stuff, i hosted on heroku, i went to meet-ups, i got mentored, i did all the stuff... except get a job. I went to interview after interview (where i did actually get an interview). I got short term contracts and held on until i was thrown out - what i realise now that i didn't realise then was my confidence was shot. I was dwindling savings, keeping a brave face throwing myself into everything but the constant rejection was killing me, i just never realised it.

One day a doctor friend mentioned that they needed 'an IT guy' in their clinic, with nothing else going i submitted the 42875th iteration of my cv. I had no idea what the job would entail when i went for it, it turned out that they had no idea what they wanted, but part of the job was making sure that 'PC LOAD LETTER' doesn't stop them from printing letters, but the interesting part was that they had to submit governmental reports on patient demographics and results - this was the interesting bit (for me).

So i took the job (awful, awful pay in the NHS it was about 13K (gbp) but it just about broke me even... although possibly not after childcare). But learned R and started rewriting excel macros and dismantling legacy access databases (where applicable, some were perfectly good) and off loading heavy lifting tasks to R - it was a tremendous expereience. The clinic was very happy with my work (as well as the data stuff i would come in weekends to help fix computers). But the most important thing was i LOVED my work, and so my confidence was back.

This was the single most important thing, i loved my job, i loved getting clinic computers working in an underfunded clinic, i loved helping management identify trends in their clinics. And i came home from work, broke, but very happy. And that was the key to getting my confidence back.

I've since moved, i'm in my 40s still very happy working as a data engineer but the reason i write this is perhaps there is industry bias, perhaps there are people looking at you and thinking 'too old' - but perhaps there are people looking at you thinking you lack confidence. Are there perhaps any places that NEED someone like you? where you could find a fit?

> they can step straight into a high paying job from someone else.

To the extent that's true (and I believe it is true), it says more about how skilled/productive they are than how "privileged" they are.
I look forward to trying modern flexbox and grid layouts. I have not had the privilege (?) to work with either yet; our customers are not necessarily on the bleeding edge of browser releases so I have to stay a little behind the curve. Hence, a lot of div soup and ridiculous indentation levels.

Honestly, for what I'm doing (a pretty complex web app with an almost desktop-style GUI with a bunch of buttons, text inputs and checkboxes everywhere) a Bootstrap-style div layout gets at least as verbose and messy as a table layout would. I especially hate having to always do HTML comments with class/id names after every </div> so I know what closes what when I'm near the bottom of the file. At least with tables you get </td></tr></table> instead of </div></div></div>.

But of course a div layout is at least partially semantic and mobile/small screen friendly.

In a classic table layout, there's an extra top level element in addition to "body" - the surrounding table.

In practice, any bog-standard div layout today has a <div class="container"> at top level which contains nothing but other divs and sets size and positioning for the whole page. This is roughly equal to a <table>, no?
You can mitigate this about 50% by switching from pure Bootstrap to something like Bootstrap-Sass and inheriting selected rules on something semantic like <article>.

(But then you'll hit a wall as you try to deal with the containers and subcontainers.)
