To be honest I hope there is middle ground, I just cannot see it. I want OSSc creators to be well compensated. These people are providing the world with an incredible service.
I stopped using Mint when they continued to insist i needed to fix login issues to my banks.

then citibank locked me out because they saw mint was continully trying to log in.

i am bearish on Mint because of this. they dont own the banks. sooner or later all the banks are going to block Mint
> I do not think that ADHD as diagnosed in most people is a real disorder.

Undiagnosed and untreated ADHD (which is underdiagnosed and untreated in adults and especially in women) can be a debilitating condition that will fuck your life up deeply, and there's ample evidence about this from peer-reviewed medical journals (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4195639/, among others, look at the "The Impact of ADHD During Adulthood" section). Just because you managed to "sleep / eating / exercise" your way out of your situation doesn't mean that everyone else with ADHD is able to do the same thing.

I’m willing to be critical of psychiatry, and there definitely are people who are diagnosed with it who don’t have it / don’t benefit from / don't need medication, but the "overdiagnosis" moral panic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/articles/17709814/) causes real harm to people who actually end up needing medical access.
It's simple, it's a hysteria
Do you know if the affected people that can't or won't move will be getting severance pay?

Where I live, such a change in working conditions would be enough for an employee to consider himself fired, which would make him eligible for severance pay.

Counterpoint: a few years ago, having been stuck in abnormally high traffic on the way to the airport, I was running right on the cusp of the arbitrary check-in deadline for my flight. I began the automated checkin service, which was comparitively extremely slow on that day also. It let me start the process, but threw an unspecified error when I got to the final stages to print my boarding pass and bag tags. Upon retrying, I was past the check-in deadline. Buggery.

Walking over to the check-in counter, a polite explanation of the situation I found myself in (and, possibly, my moderate-level status with the carrier but I don't fully know) made the service attendant remove the problem in about 30 seconds, guaranteeing that both I and my luggage would make the flight with no problems despite being 'technically past the deadline now'.

Flesh-based interaction points, by their very nature, have a tendancy to span a far broader range of service quality than machines. The bad are far worse because machines don't gossip and hate their jobs. Conversely, machines have little hope when things go south compared with a good service employee, who'll do their level best to go above and beyond their basic responsibilites to make whatever issue you have either go away or minimally impact you.

My experience is that one of the most apparent examples of this is if you ever find yourself significantly up the greasy ladder of the airline status game for whatever reason. I postulate that because carriers have realised that 'bending the rules' is a relatively 0-cost commodity to exchange for brand loyalty and this is precisely factored into the training and job directives of their employees.

What is the use of a “hello world” web benchmark?
I've recently started doing a little web programming and have found it hard to find a mainstream set of benchmarks for web frameworks beyond a simple 200 "Hello World". While there are a couple of prominent exceptions like TechEmpower [0] it seems strange that we're devoid of ways to test how web applications actually perform in the "real world". Am I alone in thinking this? Is there a trove of comparisons of JSON rendering and DB access etc which I'm completely overlooking?

Cheers!

The problem is not the existence of 5TB hard drive. The problem is how do you carry a 5TB HD in and out from a NSA office. The places are highly guarded, and they'll monitor for everything that comes in and out. You might have some luck sneaking in small devices - like pretending you have a commercial CD, but it's actually a writeable CD - but sneaking in and out hard drives it does not seem possible. And if you do it with other medias (CDs, DVDs, zip drive) it's a LOT of external media to carry around.

For as long as I can remember, I've strongly felt you don't need a JS framework; you're better off learning JavaScript and gaining a better understanding of the language.

This is, like the author says, factually true, but a conversation I recently had gave me a different perspective on the matter.

The real problem a framework solves is communication.

You can build your own state machine, router, dom abstraction and whatever else we use these days, but we would require huge ramp-up time to get productive in every new codebase.
I don't understand how YC can fund non-profits like VotePlz and the ACLU while not funding stuff like this.

Whenever I read something that starts off along the lines of "I don't understand" or "It makes no sense" I wonder how much time the poster has taken to put themselves in the shoes of those they can't understand and rough out ideas that might make sense to them.

Look at VotePlz and the ACLU, the other startups YC supports, and Octave. Do you see any similarities? Any differences? The first that jumps out at me is that YC doesn't support open source for open sources' sake. It supports organizations that serve some sort of purpose other than writing software; another way to describe this is that the organizations have business models. Some of the startups might be developing services that support software development or tech rather than something consumer facing, but it's the service, rather than the software, that is being supported by YC. In that sense, VotePlz and the ACLU are similar to the startups YC supports. Octave isn't like this. What is Octave's business model, other than to develop software that can be used by others?

Please don't get me wrong. I see a lot of value in open source projects, and have used and contributed to open source projects both professionally and personally. I don't have any experience using Octave, but have no issue giving it the benefit of the doubt that it's a worthwhile project.

Perhaps I'm mistaken. Are there software projects similar to Octave that YC supports? Is there a meaningful difference between YC's startups and VotePlz and the ACLU, and open source projects such as Octave?
Because they are a fledgling car company. Those are generally doomed. A few wrong moves, a few bad models, and you disappear. Either that or one of the established companies uses their resources to launch at competing product.

Frankly, the likes of Honda and Toyota are probably laughing at tesla. Once their ducks are all lined up their size will allow them to produce electric cars at an insane scale. Shortsellers bet on this happening sooner than later and have so far lost that bet. But that doesn't mean it cannot happen tomorrow. Telsa is still on a knife's edge, will be for a decade or more. Tesla knows this an so is trying to leverage its battery know-how into other fields, a hedge against a decent honda electric hitting the US market.
Sounds like someone doesn't want to be a VIP.

The light is traveling in a straight line ALWAYS, but merely appears (to us) to bend, because the space it's traveling thru (in a straight line) is itself bent. The space itself is bent. The light goes straight.

That's the distinction i was attempting to point out, when I said if mankind had visually noticed star-induced 'lensing' (before Einstein explaining what to expect) we would have ASSUMED the light itself was bending, and that space was 'flat' (unbent). Thinking space is flat and light is bent (the opposite of what is true), would have been the same kind of blunder we are making today believing that Dark matter/energy is actually real.
Nice pragmatic summary. Bravo.
Thanks for the great explanation. The principle of limited upside and unlimited downside when shorting is true for public companies as well. However it works, and keeps companies in check.

To be clear, I'm not bundling early startups in angel, series A, B or C. I'm talking about late stage companies that should be going public but aren't. Instead they are being propped up by private equity or foreign investment, with no market. Some of these companies are absolute dog shit, yet they continue to receive funding and insane valuations in a vacuum.
Not getting paid for open source is how the world works.

If you do any of the above you invite yourself to so much criticism that it's not worth it. I have first hand experience of this.

I hope to retire next year to do open source full time with money made from closed source. My audience will not be developers though; I'm soured on them. I'll be targeting a niche group who are actually grateful for free tools and don't feel like it's their life duty to criticize every small thing.
iphone app please! until i can use it on my iphone its not that useful...
Your comment matched my understanding from ~10 years ago (from discussions on CA motorcycling forums). However, AB-51 passed last August and it's added "lane splitting" to the vehicle code (which I just found out about 10 minutes ago).

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

Anecdotally, I'd heard of motorcyclists cited for violating the CA Vehicle Code if they occupy two lanes: "Existing law requires ... that a vehicle be driven as nearly as practical entirely within a single lane and not be moved from the lane until the movement can be made with reasonable safety."

This resulted in the semantic distinction. It's not illegal for two vehicles to share a lane. It is illegal (and still is) to drive in two lanes or to drive "between" the lanes.

Because they aren't investing more in the US, they are just re-announcing plans that were in place long ago. See Ford.
This is nuts! It took me a few minutes to figure out how the information was laid out, but once I did, I was blown away. I'll be installing this on my phone right away.
Yes and that's well within their right and within most companys' policies.. Why would you send personal mail to your workplace?
Why not stock the highest end developer laptops for example: until recently I had a very hard time finding a Dell XPS 13 in a store, but I was reluctant to order by mail since I wanted to physically see it first and see how the keyboard feels.

I think the problem is not much how do you store it once it is out. I have a cheap SAN bought on Amazon that handles 20TB. The problem is how you get 20T out of a place that has military-grade security. You cannot easily sneak a HD in or out - that will never pass a metal detector. You can have /some/ luck with DVDs. But if you take an average of ~5G per support (single layer DVD, to not make it fancy with a BlueRay, etc) and you get out one DVD per day, it takes 10240 days to move that data. That's a 39 years of data extraction. You can move many DVDs per day (risky), but unless you move dozens of DVDs/day, you'd still take forever.
Interesting idea. But how does that one gets implemented among all the noise ?
If I went to a budget hotel and they had energy-saving thermostat I would be fine with it. If I paid for a nicer hotel and they had the same thing (and some ridiculously bad min/max temperatures) I would just tell the staff and not go there again.
speed != bandwidth
I'm a Tesla bear, I've shorted Tesla a few times over the last several years, but I've heard from insiders that they are going to hit their initial deadline, and they are already testing Model 3s on the roads, in a Model S form factor. That means I'm going to stay far away from this stock, at least as a short.

> Even by the most optimistic estimations, a video that is a few minutes long at 480p will weigh in at 10 megabytes, meaning it'll take them OVER 3 HOURS to download the entire thing.

Right there in the same link, it says that the video page was a megabyte. It's the sentence directly after the 'two minutes' but. The sentence even has some 'all caps' words in it - even skimming, your eye is drawn to it. Why on earth did you stop reading halfway through the penultimate paragraph?
It seems more plausible to me that they just don't want to take the trouble to support low-bandwidth connections than that they're actively pumping up the space to keep out poor people.

I used to use Mint but they always lost connection to my accounts. I just got one of these emails. Unfortunately for them I was cleaning my inbox of "subscriptions" at the time and promptly hit unsubscribe.
Ran into the same issue with Citibank and Chase as well. I've stopped using Mint because of this. Are there good alternatives?
Between the Wires – Chris Coyier (2016)
Great post. I hope we get over the stigma of "destroying jobs" when it comes to ones like these that machines can easily do. Whenever I walk around the streets of New York I can't help but think about this. Be it the miserable cab drivers sitting in traffic staring at red lights their entire life; or guys hauling dusty insulation out of a demolition site and throwing it into the back of a truck while coughing up a fit; or delivery guys biking up and down the hostile avenues of manhattan in whatever weather to deliver Chinese food.

To me it will be a great tragedy if we never end up filling these necessary jobs with machines, be it for political reasons or something else. There's nothing stimulating or fulfilling about these jobs. It's first world human misery.
I found it amazing how common this was in India (Kolkata) - and not only were they long roads, with cars parked on both sides of the road, their were some stretches that barely had enough room for one care to get through - as in, I couldn't open the door if the car stopped.

I have no idea how a Automated Vehicle would handle this - the humans had to engage in a lot of negotiations if they came into situations in which both cars were approaching each other - particularly if they had cars behind them.
Barnes & Noble probably has more maker stuff nowadays.
Swiss cities have a separate public system where your children can go for lunch and even dinner though. Good public transport is another thing, commutes typically are 10-30min even in Zurich, so even city workers can often afford to go home. Anyways, there are ways to solve this without having lunches provided for every schoolchild. The quotes workforce participation quota shows that for a majority this is at least doable.
You aren't necessarily, though. Efforts spent optimizing the existing functionality are not being spent adding new features.
Working in the office is something I have always wanted as a frequent remote employee. I think it is great for communication and for the culture.

This specifically is very heavy handed. IBM apparently had a culture that supports this, so it is probably more akin to a layoff than a policy change. It says 30 days to conform-- not nearly enough time to make such a decision nor have this properly aligned culturally.

This may be good for morale among those disallowed remote work, feeling the company now provides "fairness" across all departments. I still think this looks like a layoff/ageism as they are comitted to hiring 25k more employees and married folks with children likely to be less mobile.

I like on site teams. I think remote work has a place, especially for those who have absorbed a companies culture, but this doesnt seem like the way to do it.
Yup, many organizations have this policy enforced. It'd be crazy to think a place like NSA would let you connect your USB stick to any of their terminals.
I think you'd be surprised. There are a LOT of NSA offices connected to the same networks. Many contractors also have SCIFs installed in their own building that can connect to the government's internal security networks.

So we started from this ideal picture of urbit:

> Urbit is the server-app-container thing that would make my non-techy Mom want to pay $5/mo for a hosted server instance.

> Want to see what Bill Smith is up to? finger bsmith. Want to argue about politics? talk.politics. God, how simple things were!

> Urbit is designed to be essentially impervious to malware.

... and we ended up with:

> but one presumes that if you host an urbit on EC2, you'd also be putting cloudflare in front of its webserver

> If you did write an app that defaulted to "accept messages from anyone" then you'd need to include some sort of "report spam" feature in it I suppose,

> "Your hosting provider might not do a good job of managing backups" is a) well outside of urbit's purview,

> So of course you need to keep your login and password safe, and the host OS needs to be secure, and so forth.

So what are then advantages of urbit over, say, wordpress install with some plugins? So far I have heard:

- Universal identity system for other urbit users

- Automatic application update

- Some subset of security bugs has been eliminated

- Simple application installation

Wordpress (with plugins):

- Has OAUTH and facebook/g+ auth plugins

- Has auto-update functionality

- Written in PHP, which entirely eliminated at least buffer overflow bugs and concurrency bugs from the user-written code.

- I can find EC2 images with wordpress already installed -- just create a machine based on them and you are all set! And wordpress provides somewhat easy interface to install new plugins!

And apparently neither Urbit nor wordpress take care of the hard stuff:

- How to set up backups and make sure they will not fail 6 month in (and no, most hosting providers will not do this automatically for you)

- How to prevent malware on your personal computer from destroying all your digital life

- How to prevent SPAM while still allowing messages from people you did not know before

- How to monitor the server and fix it (restart?) when it fails

- How to select the hosting plans to optimize cost for the resources you want to use

Now, you may say that urbit does [will do] much more that wordpress, but so far you have not mentioned anything like that. Your original comment mentioned: mail server, minecraft server, and apps that "let you upload a file to the cloud and they let your friends access it". Wordpress does the last one, and from I understand, urbit will not be that great for the first two ones.

So it does not make sysadmin's life much easier, nor does it give you some killer features you cannot find anywhere. What's the point then?
But nowhere in this rant do you ever actually say that you were diagnosed with ADHD. So then, what's the basis of your claim that ADHD diagnosees simply need to learn to focus better?

Will his work on Octave--which by all rights should be able to serve as a strong-enough resume by itself to justify his hiring--even be looked at by potential employers?

It'll probably register on the backs of their eyeballs somewhere. Some of them might even might even experience some momentary flash of recognition: "Octave? Right, yeah. Some GNU thingy..." before catching themselves and saying "Well that's, nice. But he doesn't have any Node or Angular, and I don't see any of the buzzwords, like 'microservices', 'serverless' or 'container' I was hoping so far. Smart guy, but too academic. And probably too fossilized at this point in his career to learn any of the shiny new stuff... but what the heck, let's give him a chance -- we'll see how he does on HackerRank".

IBM has about 700+ people in two different development centers in Louisiana, with a goal of 1200 total. There has been no word here about the employees having to relocate to one of the locations listed in the article, nor has there been any mass layoffs.

It was published around may of 2016, that IBM was planning to layoff roughly 14000 people, I'm willing to bet, this is more a part of that strategy than it is about people working together.
