He's a cranky old unix dude who wrote one of the first major cross-platform web browsers (his old blog has plenty of great rants about platform-specific unix fuckery in the 90s), then cashed out and now sells beer to clubgoers in SF (after a not-so-brief tango with the SF and CA local governments during the renovation and relicensing of his club). If that plot arc doesn't yield a severely cranky and antisocial person, nothing will.

The old-school method is to get a grip dynamometer and keep a daily log. If your grip strength suddenly takes a dive you need to take some recovery time. Lot's of other indicators seem to work too, eg resting heart rate, but grip strength is really easy to measure reliably.

Yes, on the show floor. The comment above was that the Broadwell-E processor could go further, there is not support for this clain. The referred processor is unstable above 5GHz, even with liquid nitrogen (note that the frequency record is 5.8GHz but on CPU-z, a far cry from running Cinebench). Ryzen has this video on its side.

My personal opinion is to wait for more data, march 2 is not far away. For sure anandtech and the other good bench sites will have a Perf/$ graph.
This is the part I don't understand. Quoting from the current version of Mike Isaac's NYT article:

"Uber’s aggressive workplace culture spilled out at a global all-hands meeting in late 2015 in Las Vegas, where the company hired Beyoncé to perform at the rooftop bar of the Palms Hotel. Between bouts of drinking and gambling, Uber employees used cocaine in the bathrooms at private parties, said three attendees, and a manager groped several female employees. (The manager was terminated within 12 hours.) One employee hijacked a private shuttle bus, filled it with friends and took it for a joy ride, the attendees said."

We are also told that the NYT has non-public information on this from their 30 interviews, reviews of internal emails, chat logs and tape-recorded meetings, of which, precisely one person is willing to attach their name to this, due to fears of reprisal.

Given that the NYT just claimed to have evidence of a felony, shouldn't the police be involved here? I mean, it's very clear in my opinion that the NYT is trying to tell us that all that confidential information they can't show us somehow proves that Uber was complicit in that incident, so I'm really wondering when something will hit the courts?

Or is there a case already going on that I don't know about?

Software safety is greatly impaired by type erasure: removing type information prior to execution.

The safest possible arrangement is one of static checks, backed by run-time checks (no type erasure).

Run-time checks are simpler and therefore much less prone to false negatives: situations when an incorrectly typed operation is permitted to proceed, with various consequences: nonsensical values, corruption, crashing and so on.

The situation of a proper type exception being thrown (dynamic language) is superior to unpredictable behavior (static-only, type-erased language where the type system failed or was subverted).

Checking types and then throwing them away is like a navy using life jackets in training and then leaving them at home when embarking on the actual campaign.

> The whole surge pricing thing was pretty innovative.

The innovation is in having a flexible workforce. Surge pricing is mostly price gouging. Having plenty of passengers wanting to go places is incentive enough to get extra drivers on the road.

Notion of diversity being a better metric than actual performance is makes sense only if you see companies as a vehicle for hiring, not a tool of delivering value.

You act as if it's this one thing that has people upset about Uber. Uber has actually done a lot of sketchy things-

* Threatening to dig up on dirt on journalists who aren't nice to them.

* Having a "god mode" available to all of their staff to see who drives where, which was only restricted after it became public.

* Creating a blog post about how they can figure out who is having one night stands (or, as they called it, "rides of glory").

* Blatant and repeated sexism. Anyone who lives in the bay area knows people who have worked at Uber and have heard the stories.

* Encouraging drivers to sign up for subprime auto loans.

* Tracking users locations even after they get finish their ride (even more ominous when combined with their "rides of glory" privacy invasions)

* Hiring a firm comprised of ex CIA agents to pry into the lives of people who screwed with them.

All of that can be confirmed with multiple news sources by a quick google search. It's not just their lack of diversity that makes them a cringeworthy company, it's the fact that they repeatedly and regularly go out of their way to disrespect privacy and generally act super sketchy. They're practically comic book villain level at this point.
I'm going to put aside the question of whether it is "evil" or not (it is, IMO). I don't believe there is anyone putting a gun, or a huge check or whatever, to the CEOs head, or the HR director's head and telling them they have to play enabler to a serial harasser, even once. And it doesn't matter whether it's a sexual harasser or an abusive supervisor, the person should be out either way.

The idea that being an a-hole is what gets the job done is just a relic, if it ever was true. People do their best work when they aren't being harassed or having to put up with alot of useless BS. I would bet that if you look at the actual results, you would see that their employees are getting the job done in spite of these tactics, or maybe that they're not performing as well as they could, and that the toxic person is also sabotaging other teams to such an extent that their group looks better by comparison.

Bottom line, either the people who should be making the right decision and firing people for toxic behavior don't care, or they are not allowed to do their job and get rid of them because the people above them won't let them. Which just leaves them doing damage control. Neither option is acceptable.
You don't sign anything without your lawyer looking at it first. Then bring up that you do volunteer work, which may include thing like maintaining the website for your home owner's association, things like that. So have your lawyer counter with language designed to protect the non-profits that you may volunteer at. Then any open source work you do, assign copyright to the FSF (them being a registered non profit), and you are covered.

Also, these employment agreements use the words "inventions, innovations, or ideas". Can any lawyer-types chime in if that implies patentable items, or does inventions legally cover copyrightable creations?

At that point, why stop at separate uids and not just use separate virtual servers? It's a bit more costly in space and RAM (when running), but it's pretty good at reducing the attack surface. If you really want to be paranoid, restore from a snapshot every time you start the VM, and occasionally start it just to update it and create a new snapshot. Even if an attacker does get a local account, they have to do something useful with it before you close the virt, essentially destroying anything local they've set up.
I beg to differ - GE is not an energy company, it's a multinational conglomorate heavily involved also in a dozen other fields like oil&gas, aviation, healthcare, home appliances, finance, research and transportation.

GE Healthcare alone employs >40 000 people and does >4x the revenue of Tesla today.

Maybe if Tesla merged with SpaceX and also with five-six other large companies you'd be about right.
Correct. The movie is beyond atrocious. One particular soundstage set is actually insulting.
<$75k yearly salary is now a modest income for a math major in their early 20s?

That's ~50% more than the average American household income. To do work that's not related to a degree, and without work history to show performance?

But even at the massively subsidized rates they're providing now, it's at least 3x the cost of public transportation (you can't catch a ride for under $6-7.

What tools and changes do 'we' want for how 'we on github' is perceived as part of our identity?

'We' is including a domain of engineers, students, employees, employers, scholars, bug complainants, star-ers, watchers, forkers, and jobCreators...

'Our identity' is including a domain of identification, participation, faithfulness, ownership, responsibility, responsivity, lineage, heritage, autonomy, unity, temporality, follows, followed-by, and profile pictures...

Them 'perceiving' may now be an employer, fellow engineer, or utility algorithm, but I would like to plan for possible futures with higher orders of transparency in all these products.

I ask HN because I know this community will be a transforming force that anneals or explodes the potent artifacts of github. My opinion may be that github is a value, but my observation is that it has given me value. Now, what may we hypothesize together?
He was extremely good with people; it's easy to mistake great people skills for excellent ethics when evaluating others but they aren't at all the same! He managed to make that mistake when looking at his own actions. He wasn't a Sociopath, I don't believe, because he could be considerate and do good things, his charm wasn't as shallow as theirs. He could have extreme empathy. But where he was stunningly selfish; there was no redress, he was incapable of examining his own actions for fault as he held himself enlightened and beyond such things. (Whereas in Mahayana Buddhism, enlightenment is said NOT to remove all our negative "tendencies", it only guarantees that we don't add more, and gives us a good change of noticing remaining tendencies.) If a whim took him, the damage would be done without a glance back. And no past good behavior on other's part tempered his decisions. A sort of Don Quixote. The only other person I've known to be very like him was also a mystic (but Sufi type) whose personality had been formed largely by hundreds of LSD trips. Also a menace you didn't see coming. Astonishing to meet, but not good to know. So maybe LSD or similar was a factor in the first case, too, and the spiritual breakthrough more manufactured than accomplished.
Absolutely people should be allowed to say what they want without consequences.

That's what freedom means. It means freedom from consequences. If there are heavy consequences, you don't have freedom. Otherwise you can say that North Koreans have freedom of speech too - they just have to deal with the "consequences".

This "freedom from speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" thing is so patently bizarre.

What the heck can "freedom" possibly mean besides freedom from consequences?
Yet one example: "dccp_send" or "datagram_congestion_control_protocol_send" ?
Or maybe your examples are the special case. IMO, you don't have to treat your employees poorly in order to get the best results. What happens is that important and rich companies tend to attract these abusive harassers who want to carve out a space in an important company and make a big chunk of money as well. And because the company is more focused on growth, it hasn't brought in the right gatekeepers to keep these kinds of people away.

These are some excellent points. There's no organised, searchable F# package index. We rely heavily on NuGet, which is a generalised .Net mishmash. And we suffer from the same problems that almost every other non-dominant language does when targeting a runtime dominated by another language.

The best I can offer you right now for F#-specific packages is http://fsharp.org/community/projects/ --and the advice that, if you have questions, ask away! F# people will be, I think, extremely ready to answer any questions because we're desperate to see people use the language. Try the mailing list ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/fsharp-opensource ), https://fsharp.reddit.com/ and the Functional Programming Slack at fpchat.com (well, this one will be back online in a few days--they recently had some drama, which they settled, but they had to disable new signups to let everyone cool down).

Scala has a library for units of measure: http://www.squants.com/

I think you can do it in most reasonable statically-typed languages, with a little care. Scala makes automatic conversions a bit easier because it lets users specify them. Like C# actually. You could probably do UoM in C# too.
Implicit in your statement is a belief on your part that women, black people, etc. are inherently less qualified than white and Asian men. Would you like to back that implication up with evidence?

Would you further like to consider that historical evidence indicates that when an industry claims it has meritocratic processes which naturally produced lopsided hiring with respect to gender and race, that claim has been debunked, often spectacularly, by simple tactics such as blind interviews in which the interviewer cannot discover the gender/race of the candidate?

Perhaps after considering this, you should find some other use for that reflex arc which produces "hire the best" statements whenever you're exposed to the word "diversity".
