Yeah yeah but that doesn't solve the problem of programmers needing to eat and pay rent, so I guess the answer is why not? If people can't afford to to invest time in writing OSS even if it's widely respected and reused, then that limits the development of open source. I mean here's this guy with a ~25 year body of work which everyone agrees to be of pretty high quality and he's broke. That ain't right.

Saying 'it's not a business model' is basically equivalent to saying 'I don't have to worry about money.'

How are they going to prove you are in control of a social media account? What do they do if you tell them you don't remember any of your passwords, in fact you wrote them down on paper because you were that bad at remembering them and just happened to lose that paper? What happens if someone does not use social media, are they going to deny them on the basis that they don't use Twitter or Facebook?
It took off like crazy for VPS hosting, until superceded (although I know of many that still use it).

OpenVZ was popular enough to support the parent company Virtuozzo/Parallels/SWSoft (many name changes over the years) and the commercial Virtuozzo product is still sold: www.virtuozzo.com .

The lack of OpenVZ being accepted into the kernel, is what eventually killed it IMHO. Since the cgroups and other code that underlies Docker/LXC etc. is in every kernel, it was only a matter of time until the default became accepted and then used widely.

You might want to check with the Julia folks. They now have a company (Julia Computing) backing the project. I don't know if they are hiring right now, and if so, whether you'd be a good fit, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

Might be a better alternative to working for MathWorks! Julia is an open source project with many brilliant developers and mathematicians contributing.

Maybe it's because YC pivoted from startups to social justice?
The idea is a good one. But see how none of the projects break $3k/month? And how drastically it drops down to $500? There just isn't that much money moving in that model. Period.

Considering the quality of the code I see currently and the costs created by that technical debt I'm not sure if becoming less elitist will be a good thing. Instead of all these code camps, I can't help but wonder if we could get 90% of the value and 10% of the problems if we taught people shell scripting instead of programming.

I think the real reason is that in the mid to late 90s, there were several hardware vendors that focused on Linux. One of them at least went public (VA Linux).

In fear of losing hardware sales, Dell/HP/Sun (their X86 hardware unit)/ IBM all made sure that their servers could run Linux also. This resulted in a lot of hardware support being added very quickly.

FreeBSD never had that "tornado" of uptake from major hardware vendors, and thus, support always lagged, if it was there at all.

That argument, though oft-repeated, is mathematically non-sensical. Unless companies are currently operating irrationally, one less dollar spent on advertising will result in more than one dollar lost in revenue.
That was also the basis for the Army Corps of Engineers ordering a more extensive environmental review.

The next looming debt crisis is one founded on education loans. Does this sort of government gutting really help with that?

As a citizen of the US and native English speaker, I would say the connotations differ.

"International" - similarity to US / Western political systems and values, but not in the geographic boundaries of the US

"Foreign" - different from / opposed to (depending on how xenophobic whoever you're talking to is) US / Western political systems and values

So, in many ways mirroring the definitions. International is a thing in and of itself. Foreign is a relationship to something else.

> Do you really think a true expert couldn't make a safe C++ regex library?

I do believe that a C++ regex library written in reasonable time using normal development practices will have memory safety problems in it. This is based on the real-world experience we have with C++ projects.

> Yet another time, I find out you really can't accomplish the task without writing unsafe code, so the compiler really wasn't going to protect me from myself anyways [2].

If your project is 5% unsafe code and 95% safe code, that's a win due to isolating the trusted computing base. In fact, when you get down to it, this sort of setup describes all Rust projects, as the standard library has unsafe code.

> [1] Honestly, I think you guys are screwed on that one. I suspect you're going to have to break backwards compatibility to really fix it, so I believe you'll leave it broken instead.

I don't agree that it's broken. In order to "fix it", we'd either have to throw out generics in favor of C++/D-style templates or have Haskell-like overlapping instances link errors. Each of those options is unpalatable. You lose some expressiveness, sure, but writing newtype wrappers is not the end of the world.

In general, I find issues with the expressiveness of generics are often overblown. Remember that people write all sorts of software in Go, which doesn't have generics at all, much less overlapping instances!
Some toolboxes are quite comparable. The signal processing, image, and control packages in Octave, for example.

Any plans for a web client for chat?
Not at all. Closed source isn't a business model either.

A business model is where you figure out who will give you money in exchange for value delivered. If you need money, you probably should think about that. And then you'll need to spend some time on execution of that plan.

I get that programmers just want to make things and have people use them. I feel that too. But pretending that "open source" is a business model is essentially just denying economic reality. It's the same thing when young artists grumble about having to earn a living somehow when they'd rather just be creating art.

People can definitely make a living with open-source software. But it doesn't happen by magic, any more than it does with closed-source software. It takes thought and work. That work is grubby and mundane and a bit banal, but it has to get done.
I haven't put much thought into this idea, but I think social media degenerates into bubbles is because its form of communication (asynchronous broadcast to close social circles) has never really been available massively until very recently. It's a form of communication that has no real-world analog, especially impersonal actions such as liking a post.

I doubt people will ever understand how to use social media properly, since there's no incentive or mechanisms to self-correct - "sharing" is much harder when you actually have to look at other people's reactions face to face. Sure, on social media you could get in a flame war with someone who shares fake news or has a different viewpoint than you, but it's extremely unlikely that it will have any effect.

For now the conclusion I've reached is that social media should be considered harmful, so I've deleted my Facebook account, and encourage everyone else to do the same. There are more than enough substitutes available for humans to communicate with each other.

Have you used the IDE at all? One of the things I liked about Ceylon is that they seem to think that having a good IDE is as important as having a good language - something I agree with. They're shipping plugins for IntelliJ and Eclipse, where a lot of other languages start off with an Emacs package, but don't go for the full IDE experience. Clojure would be an example of that, I think.

The vast majority of savings is simply unspent income. Income accumulates at a more or less fixed rate, and the extra income you get for extra experience grows much faster than the extra income you get from interest on the unspent portion of that.

The simple answer? Because humans are actually intelligent.

Find me someone in a job who has the exact same day at work every day with no exceptions and I'll show you a job you can automate. Exceptions are what define things that machines can't do well, and every scenario brought up in this story has routine exceptions.

More importantly, even in cases perfectly suited to automation, we can't pretend all the software we build is perfect or even remotely approaches the quality that can be produced by the brightest minds in the industry, either. Everyone wants to automate everything, and you can be sure most of it will be done poorly. Even the simplest human at least does a better job than a poorly built piece of software. I can rage 24/7 about how bad the software people write is. At least 90% of it. I rarely find myself annoyed at how incapable of doing their job the typical service worker is, and when I do it's virtually always fixed by their boss or a manager.

Automation done well is a tool. It turns many jobs into a few, where people handle exceptions and have actual administrative control. I've had tons of bad experiences with automation that has little/no human backup and it's by far worse than dealing with people. And this is coming from an introvert.
The nice thing about software projects is that they're easily replaceable. They can be treated as any other business asset in that you can hire a shop to develop them or do it in-house. So long as you have enough business eyes on the process then it works. Expensive, but it works. Businesses are used to expensive.

The real value of good code is way, way less than developers would like to believe. This is coming from someone who is damn near a perfectionist about code. I have to constantly check myself and ask whether whatever I'm demanding we spend time and effort on is really worth it from a business perspective. Occasionally it is, most of the time it's not.

If coding wasn't the thing I could make the most money with at this point in time, I'd do something else and code free software as a hobby. At least free software really benefits from great code practice.

> What you cannot do right now (v0.22.0) is let some people see cards but not create "new questions".

You definitely can do this with "Collections" (added in v0.20.0 I believe). You need to make sure to revoke all the "Data Access" and "SQL Queries" permissions for all groups the user belongs to (including the "All Users" group), then give their group "View" permission to the collection you want to allow them to view cards in.

(Now that I think about it, I'm not sure why we don't have a similar permission for cards that aren't in a collection.)
Naruto Season 1 Episode 27 Replication Match I'm the Main Character
Great. I agree with you on what you are saying, just like your last post. I agree the bar has changed dramatically for getting into startups and building software, hosting software, and building infrastructure. AGAIN....that doesn't conclude why YC is less personable, getting larger at the pace that it is today to the point that it's not as tight knit as it should be etc. That was really the only thing being mainly criticized in this thread, to which you brought up a true fact of the state of startup ecosystem, but not a fact which properly concludes and addresses the criticism. Anyway, good post so have an upvote at least.
Everyone is worried about how the DHS will verify that the set of social media accounts is complete and accurate.

Easy. The officer will simply ask the visitor: "Are these all your accounts? Are you holding any back?"

And then they will instruct the visitor not to lie.

In order to ensure compliance, there will be a second officer who asks the visitor: "Did you lie to the previous officer?" That would provide a second level of security.

You could, at additional expense, add a third or fourth officer.

This is the line General Petraeus crossed. No info goes to the press that results in uncontrolled blowback or merely for personal gain.
