Larry is Gorean

Goreans are people that agree with philosophy of professor John Lange, that writes his philosophy in porn books with pen name John Norman

What got Larry kicked out is that similarly to Abrahamic religions, Goreans believe there is an inherent hierarchy between men and women. Or at least it is what Dries (Drupal leader) wrote as explanation for the incident.

So Larry is being punished literally for "wrong-think", having beliefs that are shared with billions of Abrahamic religion followers around the world. But Goreanism is not a religion, so probably doesn't count as religious discrimination.

Also according to a blog lost by Larry, the "proof" used against him was a transcription of a discourse he made in a private wedding.

> ...as long as that belief is not in some way construed as a community value...

I honestly don't care about that even, as long as people can discuss their ideas and leave the group if they're done tolerating each other.

> It's one of the simple facts of life that you pretty have to work with people who believe all kinds of things...

In popular usage, "tolerance" is slowly becoming synonymous with "acceptance" or "celebration". But in reality, you just described real tolerance right here. It's a good balance because we can absolutely agree to disagree and be part of a healthy community anyway. Keeping "tolerance" as tolerance is the best recipe for actual diversity of identity and thought in my opinion.

EDIT: Clarified my phrasing a bit.
> One of my past employers actually did away with ALL sick

Funny you mentioned this as Amazon is no different. In US Amazon do not give sick days unless required by state law. Say you get an offer from Amazon NY, where employer isn't required to provided paid sick days, you'll get zero sick days.
Eich was the first person I thought of when I read this letter.

"Diversity in everything except thought" is the mantra.

The problem with this is that to solve problems you need diversity in thought:

It is quite exaggerated to say that a significant portion of Google's revenue comes from serving malicious content.

But malicious content (even on the SERP) is common enough that one of the most effective steps that you can do to protect senior citizens from malware is to install a good ad blocker. The ironic thing is that the search algorithm does a decent job of filtering out malicious sites from appearing on the first page, but that does no good if there is a malicious ad right above the filtered results.
>Gor is not just a flavor of porn, it is full philosophy of gender relationships. E.g. it does not just says "this gets me off", it says "this is nature of men/women, modern society is suppressing that nature and that is wrong". Some are in it for sex, but quite clearly others are in it because they believe in philosophy and attempt to live by it as much as possible/legal.

It's a series of fantasy f*#%ing novels, ofcourse it's role-play. Serious role play maybe, and definitively weird, but the author is _still alive_ and his name is not L. Ron Hubbard. Is he participating in political activism with mysogynistic undertones? Is he otherwise projecting gor-related gender views onto non-consenting parties? No. He just wants to do weird stuff together with other people who want to do weird stuff, socially and sexually. To assume that he holds these views to be morally absolute for everyone is a gross misrepresentation and unfortunately typical of persecution of weird people.

You are right. More and more propaganda these days to steer the crowd to things were only the top players benefit. HTTP 0.9/1.x with or without TLS (aka HTTPS) is still relevant. And making TLS mandatory is a very bad decisions, it will hurt every dev who had to touch lower level APIs or do performance optimization or debugging a lot. Sometimes it would help to think a bit father then ones nose is long.
This article is lame, and would be unable to generate an accurate picture of the actual scene. There would also be loss of detail, missing objects, missing people, etc. It would feel immensely artificial, too.

I was also hoping for something more ambitious, such as "once you can detect the full electromagnetic spectrum hitting your phone from any angle, you won't need a lens to reconstruct a focused picture," as mentioned by blixt.

At a minimum, I was hoping for conceptualization and theorized advancement of the current display-pixel-as-camera-pixel train of thought.
For the record, a large chunk of the social justice community are kinky (and, separately, a large chunk of the kink community agrees broadly with modern feminist views). Nobody I've spoken to within my subset of the social justice community wants somebody to be removed from the Drupal community based on how they go about their personal relationships and sexuality.
Interesting project considering that AWS also provides Rekognition (https://aws.amazon.com/rekognition/), which recognizes faces as a service. I wonder how it compares to AWSLambdaFace?
That's exactly what I was thinking, too, when I saw the picture of the back of the phone without a camera. "Of course! The entire back of the phone could be sprayed with nano-scale sensors that collect photons at varying angles, then you computationally assemble these into a image, using algorithms and the sheer number of data points to compensate for the inevitable noise! Full-field photography, and maybe even enough parallax to capture 3D images! Brilliant! Oh wait, that's not where he's going at all..."

That's how it works. The board decides who they want.

It's worse than that. Many actually like it. Outrage is click bait because people like clicking on it. If you're reading it, it's for you.

The problem is that Larry's brand of BDSM (Gor) is not the "right" form of BDSM, as supported by "liberal sexual identity politics".

As such, he was outed, smeared, and asked to leave the Drupal community.
Sander, this is going to sound harsh, but if you want to be a contributing member of this community, spamming your own Medium articles is not a great first step.
I'm not sure what you expect "Google ads serving malware" to mean other than exactly this. Of course it's not as simple as going into Google ad manager and clicking "upload virus". The fact that it included partner networks and a compromised website is unsurprising. When malware makes it through ad networks, it is common for it to take that kind of approach. At the end of the day you're effectively exploiting networks of trust.
Another good reason to use a non standard keyboard.

Point of order: The idea of censorship only applying to Governments is from a time when the largest media network was the town square news board that had the printing press-produced news nailed to it.

Here's a fun question for HN: Does a private entity that's of a given sufficient large size, i.e. YouTube or Facebook, that covers such vast swathes of the population have a civil responsibility to uphold freedoms of speech? Typically I err on the side of you have the right to speak, not to have someone provide you a podium and loud speaker but at the same time, if we're providing everyone the podium and loud speaker does it change the rules?
I see a free or nearly free "developer edition" of Windows 10 incoming. It won't have some of the enterprise-y features (bloat) of existing enterprise editions, but it will be capable, feature-rich, free (maybe you'll have to somehow demonstrate that you're a developer) - and most importantly it will be free of the creepy shit. And then they'll be well positioned to drink Apple's milkshake, as far as developer-mindshare.
We are really looking for serialization libraries that will work with pandas and scikit.

This stuff is really all over the place - PMML, Arrow, Dill, pickle.

Some stuff won't work with one or the other. I will actually pay for consistency versus performance.

There are way too many primitive serialization libraries. Surprisingly none for the higher order ML, etc stuff.

Give the kind of people behind Arrow, I would love wrapper that will use Arrow to do all of this...But doesn't matter at the end of the day.

What polls were "basically right" in the month, weeks, and days leading up to the election? I recall most of them being very off the mark because of their methodology. There were a ton of polls that consistently oversampled Democratic voters, women, and other groups to show results that favored Hillary. This is what made them fake polls. They were being conducted to produce a result that would reinforce a narrative.

Most Fake News (NBC, CBS, NYT, etc.) headlined these fake polls while not reporting sampling to their viewers. There's a reason almost all Fake News casters like Maddow were shocked on election night. They bought into their own lies and selective reporting. I learned of the sampling methodology from some of the very sites that Google now reports as "fake" and from Youtubers they have demonetized.

"Polls are used to influence public opinion, not reflect it."

What we're seeing is Google trying to control the narrative through search and monetization now. This is a more-extreme extension of the crap they pulled during the election (where Google search-complete consistently suggested positive things for Hillary and negative things for Trump).
Doesn't matter for a CEO. The job has no such protections.
Wait so you CAN edit linux filesystem files with windows tools now?

That was the main tripping point for me last time I tried out the WSL workflow. Mainly just because a bunch of files in our repo were apparently named in an ntfs unfriendly manner, so when I tried to merge etc. the repo would get corrupted.

A core i3/i5 starts at 150$, most devices don't have these expensive CPU.

What you've described is basically a heat map data collection script, or part of one.

The script will capture the (x,y) coordinates and cache a running log of where events occurred. It's proxying the events and then forwarding them, so it can get inbetween the event and the outcome, and record the event's details with greater precision.

Since JavaScript events are asynchronous, one part of the heatmap recorder may have been decoupled and not directly connected to the rest of its sibling scripts in a very obvious way.

But anyway, to get to the point, these heatmap apparatuses do spew useless data, user by user, and can hog system resources in non-obvious ways, but in aggregate, across thousands or millions of users, develop a picture of how many users clicked directly on a button, in proximity to a button, and which button, out of a selection of buttons, was clicked in whichever order.

After deploying something like this, the raw (x,y) coordinate data is then collected, and used to generate an image. The image consists of they watthe webpage appeared to the user, and then a semi-transparent false-color overlay is placed as a layer over the appearance of the web page, and the (x,y) coordinates color the pixels red/hot for many clicks, and blue/cold for fewer clicks, like a topographical map.

See the results of similar scripts here:

https://duckduckgo.com?q=!googleimages+web+page+click+heatma...

Similar heatmaps are generated in more controlled environments, with eye motion tracking tests, where the user consents to sit in a room, in front of a computer, with a camera attached, and use a redesigned website or app, while the system records the specifics of their behavior, capturing not only clicks, but where they were looking, and how their eyes moved toward the elements that received clicks.

Testing processes like these can be really expensive to perform.

This is usually done to gather evidence of an effective design layout, among competing designs in an A/B test.

If you only noticed part of the script that proxies the click events, it may be that someone left part of an A/B test harness behind, by mistake, or that part of the harness was left out by mistake. These sorts of scripts definitely take the collected click coordinates, and forward them to the server, otherwise it's not possible to assemble the individual events into a heatmap.

Which I'd quite bad. I don't understand why/who lobbied to implement it that way in Firefox. Can someone disclose the decision-making behind this? It would help devs a lot if HTTP/2 works without TLS too.
Careful with that wide brush of yours, there's a whole multidimensional universe of political alignments out there that are obscured by the American 'Left' and 'Right'.
Someone who doesn't know that he has to "be professional and don't be a dick" is likely to disregard the code of conduct. And you don't need a code of conduct to kick someone out of a project because he's being unprofessional and/or a dick. Therefore codes of conduct are useless.
Oh god please no. I would really prefer that we stop the experimentation and just go back to implementing the standard desktop. Linux got its success by being a Unix clone, down to copying the syscall numbers. We should mimic that on desktop by just copying Windows, rather than chasing unproven weird ideas. OSX succeeds not because it's quirky, but because it is backed by a company with massive resources. And even OSX is much closer to Windows than Gnome is. Please stop innovation for innovation's sake and just make Windows 98 again.
It would be nice if someone ported Konsole to Windows. A number of other KDE apps have already been ported, so hopefully it won't be too painful.
That's assuming that they left for a better job and that the replacement jobs were not also sequentially all gigs.

The problem here is that the producers of drupal are a much smaller set of people than the consumers of something like drupal. It's the consumers that will have to decide whether they want to base their next project on Drupal or not and all this infighting is giving of an aura of extreme instability. So as a result the drupal project as a whole will suffer because some fraction of that audience will decide to move on from Drupal.
I think the development of VS Code was kind of an accident. They built Monaco (the editor component) for Visual Studio Online, then made it a standalone text editor as a side project and it ended taking off big time.

> The company's MacBooks are slim, powerful and well-built, but you'll need pile of money and a bagful of dongles. The company's support and warranty options are second to none.

Mmm...

So, the only reason why the MacBook Pro isn't first is the price? It doesn't make any sense.

I bought the Late-2016 MacBook Pro (no touchbar, of course), and it's the best laptop I've ever used by a long shot.

I wasn't happy to have to pay more than I used to (EUR 1490 vs. EUR 1199), but being a developer my machine is important, and with my hourly wage the expense is justified if I can be more productive. Thanks to the improved keyboard, I'm more productive as I can type faster and more enjoyably. I also used to have a MacBook Air, and I _love_ the HiDPI display.

I don't have a bag full of dongles, so I have no idea what that's about. I attach the laptop to an external monitor, so I have 1 adapter that I keep plugged into the HDMI cable. It's got 2 USB3 ports, HDMI, and another USB-C port. I never bring it with me or use it besides for the monitor, though.

I definitely would not want to replace my current laptop with a plastic Lenovo to save $300 (or whatever).

I guess laptopmag.com is trying to ride the MacBook bitching wave one last time to get some visitors.

I think perhaps you're underestimating the amount of effort that they do put into keeping their ads clean. A few highlights from [their 2016 report][1]:

> we disabled more than 5 million payday loan ads

> In 2016, our systems detected and disabled a total of 112 million ads for “trick to click,” 6X more than in 2015.

> We disabled more than 68 million bad ads for healthcare violations, up from 12.5 million in 2015.

> We took down more than 17 million bad ads for illegal gambling violations in 2016.

> In 2016, we took down nearly 80 million bad ads for deceiving, misleading and shocking users.

> in 2016, our systems detected and disabled more than 23,000 self-clicking ads on our platforms, a huge increase year over year.

> Last year, we took down almost 7 million bad ads for intentionally attempting to trick our detection systems.

> In 2016, we suspended more than 1,300 accounts for tabloid cloaking.

> We took action on 47,000 sites for promoting content and products related to weight-loss scams.

> We took action on more than 15,000 sites for unwanted software and disabled 900,000 ads for containing malware.'

> And we suspended around 6,000 sites and 6,000 accounts for attempting to advertise counterfeit goods, like imitation designer watches.

My question is:

Who gets to define whats controversial?

Everyone has an agenda. Seems to be that whoever is best at getting people outraged gets to control them.
The question has never been "Why Mir?", but rather "Why Mir instead of Wayland?" and I don't think they've ever really addressed that. Looking back, the one thing I do remember is that Mir was going to work with the closed source nVidia driver where the Wayland guys just said "this is the future and nVidia needs to make some accommodations or they won't get to play". I don't recall the details, but nVidia waited until the future was inevitable and then came around - and I can't blame them for waiting, given how long it actually took it could have been a waste of effort.

Edit: those are not direct quotes by any means.
Nice! I saw this in a StackOverflow post, it's odd that it would work that way don't you think? (probably not) but I think say you are A, and you connected to B (Facebook) and you then connect to C (YouTube), why would you not see A instead of seeing B at C?

Anyway thanks
