This page has some huge issues loading resources. I kept it open as a tab to dive into later and noticed it was still spinning after a long time... I refreshed with Developer Tools open and after 2 minutes over 100MB had been transferred!

It appears the screencast video is to blame, it is not only huge (~70MB), but it keeps getting downloaded instead of just replaying. I just checked the console again and the page is now up over 300MB downloaded. Glad I wasn't on mobile data!

Update: I downloaded the video and ran it through ffmpeg to see how much space could be saved... Original size 72.2MB, new size 1.7MB. Screencasts obviously compress very well, but this was pretty surprising. You could easily optimize this down further and probably half the size yet again.

Architecht Podcast: Brendan Burns, Kubernetes Founder on Containers and the Future
Using multiple monitors is exactly the opposite of the emacs philosophy and the unix philosophy.

If anything, it can be described as the Bloomberg philosophy, modeling one's development setup after a Bloomberg terminal, designed for quick decision making based on data streaming in from the periphery of one's visual field, optimized for an OS without a good windowing system.

If you have a mouseless development workflow, multiple buffers in emacs offers the same power as multiple monitors, and uses less electricity.

For most programmers, having a multiple monitor setup (likely connected with gold plated Monster brand HDMI cables) is like having custom rims on your car... a decorative adornment that conveys social status and bling and offers little utility.

"Tech" is a very broad and very diverse term. If an employee is design focused and a group is having conversations about the latest Linux kernel API change there is a very good chance the design focused employee won't be able to follow the conversation making them feel left out. Not to discourage design field, they have their own deep technical niches.

Not everyone can participate in every thread of a conversation but it's important to change the topic often enough to allow people to contribute meaningfully to the conversation.

I'll let you in on a little secret: paying for bandwidth per usage is for suckers. People think this is the only way to pay for bandwidth, but it's really only cloud providers who charge like that (and make a fortune off the racket). If you buy bandwidth from upstream IP transit providers, or rent a server in almost any non-cloud datacenter, you pay for capacity (e.g. $0.50 / Mbps), not usage. That is, you pay for the size of the pipe, not the amount of data going through it. Once you factor in optimizations like peering with ISPs and cross connect caching, bandwidth costs go way down.

Also, in Netflix's case, they have a box containing terabytes of their most popular content sitting in almost every datacenter and peering with all major ISPs and backbone providers sharing the cross connect: https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/

This is a wonderful message for those for whom the Status Quo works. It's what we'd like to hear and allows us to ignore tiresome issues.

Eventually it's Versailles time and everybody has to have their heads cut off. So you need to balance this "focused" (i.e. ignore the problem) approach with a longer term plan.

Or rather someone needs to. Or maybe we should just accept getting our heads cut off.

Oi - I resemble that remark!

I've also been on the reviewing end of plenty of types who think all small things are inconsequential nitpicks which excuses them from having to change anything. Then people moan about a lack of standards and consistency between teams...

I've also died in a ditch over naming conventions for unit tests - whilst not my proudest moment - it drives home one of the key points in the article, that good managers work with all their people to make a cohesive team. Everyone has things to improve on and can benefit from constructive criticism. Management is far harder than technical work as humans always have state, there's no such thing as a pure function for humans. Knowing how to coach, mentor, advocate for, protect, encourage etc is not something you are born with, and you can't really spin up an AWS instance of a team of humans to practice on.

First off, TLSA Certificate Usage 2 also effectively turns the DNS into a CA, so you're just factually off here.

Second, why is this a compelling argument? The first 2 TLSA usages are essentially what we already have: HPKP, bootstrapped from the DNS. HPKP's competition, TACK, worked the same way and didn't require DNSSEC at all. Further: all the problems people have with pinning (certificate suicide) remain in place with TLSA 0 and 1.

So basically this argument is: "that's a straw man because there's a way to deploy DANE where it doesn't accomplish anything and that's probably the only way DANE will ever be deployed so none of this matters". I am willing to stipulate that's the case.

Can't this exact same argument be made to PewDiePie? He is welcome to make whatever kind of jokes he wants, but 'his opinions have consequences.' If he makes a joke that causes people to write articles criticizing him, then that is a natural consequence of telling those types of jokes.

Just like no one gets to decide what kind of jokes are allowed to be told, no one gets to decide how someone reacts to those jokes.
I suspect it was something about compiled vs. interpreted.

The Rust runtime is larger than C's (I imagine it's not much larger than C++, but this is already way too large). AFAIK, nobody ever proved it works as designed. The fact that it's design is not very stable is also a problem.

Now, with some more thought about it, C itself is not a great target for correctness proofs. Too much is left unspecified, and there is little agreement over some of the lower level stuff. A simplified version of Rust might be a better target than C, if somebody ever creates it, but a lot of the safety would have to be left out of it.

No one's saying we shouldn't have code reviews or technical debates, just that we need to avoid being overly aggressive. A lot of young males (including myself previously, and sometimes currently) can be very aggressive in presenting their views. This disenfranchises less outspoken people in our teams, particularly woman who generally can't be as aggressive without negative social ramifications.

It'd be an outright lie for me to say that some folks don't try and prove themselves by coming into conflict with a specific person more famous than them.

But I also think it's a somewhat inevitable outcome that as you become a focal point for attention you'd better be ready for said scrutiny and for you to be interpreted within the dialogues other people are having. Asking people to do otherwise is absurd, they cannot.

I think you make a good point, even if indirectly. That is, the technology keeps changing but the products and experiences seem to remain subpar, frustrating, wonky, etc. Perhaps these technologies are progress from a pure technology POV, but if real end users were to judge what would they say? Are we drinking too much of our own Kool Aid? Still? Again?
At its most basic: Is a voice that isn't shouting heard and valued?

Is someone who seeks consensus from the team before moving forward rewarded? Or is someone who just goes out and does something rewarded more? You have to see what kind of styles are promoted within the organization, and if there's a place for the less aggressive/assertive within it. For those that may struggle with impostor syndrome, and not just assume they know everything.

It also really helps to see women on the team, especially in more senior positions, doing code reviews, etc. If there's a layer of men who are subtly sexist, the organization really as a whole won't retain, ever. A double standard is incredibly demoralizing.

But seriously, look at who gets listened to in meetings. Who takes up the time, is it just people who are loud and willing to argue about things, while those unwilling to interrupt never get acknowledged?

I disagree. The best option is to call. You likely won't talk to the rep themselves, but you will either leave a message or talk to one of their staffers. It will bubble up to them. If a rep gets a ton of calls against a particular piece of legislation, they may change their position for fear of not being re-elected.

no_std is more formalized, though C++ enforces the same thing by failing to link if you try using malloc (or whatever) when writing a kernel. no_std also means that it's very easy to tell if a crate works without the stdlib, so you can use code from the ecosystem instead of rolling your own.

Ultimately the Rust OSes resort to some handwritten assembly as well. I think that's going to be a constant of writing a kernel. Rust is working to minimize it (e.g. with things like `extern "x86-interrupt" fn`), but at a kernel level there are just some kernel specific asm instructions (like all of the TLB stuff) that either compiler will probably never support generating without inline asm.

So while Rust may be better than C++ at writing OSes (I'm not sure! I haven't looked at all the stuff you need to write an OS in C++), I do think they're in the same ballpark, close enough that if Rust is a "serious" competitor C++ probably is too :)

If you look at the URLs, most of them have the input in the 'examples/input/' dir, and the reference in the 'examples/style/' dir. The apple reference is in the 'examples/input/' dir.

Managers should focus on retaining top talent that allows organization to move forward. Interacting with others productively is one facet of top talent - regardless of what personal traits (love of geeky things, particular choice of hobbies or whatever else) ultimately allows for team fusion.

The moment management starts socially engineering the team on any other metric than team's ability to contribute to company cause, they are harming their organization.

Commercial entities are not avenues of social justice. They are instruments of making money.
> How can the strengths of each language not be direct support for linguistic relativity? All that means is that certain concepts are easier to manipulate and understand in certain languages.

The principle of linguistic relativity is that language (particularly L1) influences the thought patterns of those who use it. It does not state that certain thought patterns are easier to express in various languages.

To demonstrate support for linguistic relativity, it's not sufficient to say that Perl is better at text manipulation than C. You'd have to say first that Perl programmers tend to view generic programming problems (say, how to route email messages) as questions of text manipulation rather than other paradigms. You would also have to show that this paradigmatic shift is a result of the language itself, and not other factors including (but not limited to) language instruction or library availability.

In terms of natural language, sure, I can't translate the sentence "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana" effectively into French (since the different senses of "to fly" are «voler» and «mouche»). But that doesn't matter for linguistic relativity. The linguistic relativity argument is over whether or not the difference between English tending to use "do" for its modals precipitates a different worldview than the French «faire» ("make").
It's not a free market if you're not allowed to import from cheaper suppliers elsewhere, so that's already broken.

That's the whole point! The first study had both dimensions; the second one focused just on high-class to eliminate that variable.
Society has a risk homeostasis, which partially compensates for improved safety by taking more risks. Seat belts and air bags both resulted (over generation time spans) in higher driving speeds. So the argument goes that eventually self-driving cars will drive faster and closer, and overall traffic deaths will remain constant.

The difference with self-driving cars is that the policies affecting risk (how fast, how close) will be decided by vehicle makers, who will be very risk-averse. Risk homeostasis is mainly driven by individuals thoughtlessly taking risks. But when enterprises make deliberate decisions, like they do in commercial air travel, safety can be improved indefinitely.

I am not trying to 'monetize' it any way, so not paying attention to that, or to 'engagement' or whatever. But happy my posts are helping people, and effecting the dialog and shared understanding of rubyists.

I do think it's gotten harder to get blog attention, everyone just looks at facebook pretty much.

If you convince children that it is right to attack members of race x, then other kids of race x will end up attacked.

OK, but we're not discussing a scenario in which stormfront members have total control over what the children are exposed to. We're discussing a scenario where they have at most a few minutes of the child's attention. For the other fifteen and three quarters waking hours of the child's day, their attention belongs to their teachers or their parents. If you believe the 'racist bullshit' coming from stormfront has any chance of winning the war of ideas against those odds, that tells me something about what you think of either the quality of the other ideas or the ability of teachers and parents to impart them into the minds of children, and, let me tell you, it's not flattering.

After all, nazi did won war of ideas

Now we're no longer talking about children. We're talking about "racist bullshit" winning the war of ideas in the minds of full grown adults. If you're concerned that "racist bullshit" is going to win the war of ideas in the minds of full grown adults, that tells me very clearly what you think about the quality of your preferred ideas or what you think about the quality of the minds of those full grown adults. And again, it's not flattering.
