Do you consider it a solution that if somebody doesn't like an OSS project's current direction, or contributor list, they could fork it and do whatever they want with the fork?

>I think the poster is holding a pretty untenable position but I'm trying to softball it, because I could be much harsher about it.

I don't understand how that position is untenable. It seems to be a meritocratic line of thought, IMO. There could be a problem with how "merit" is calculated? Or you believe that ideas, contributions which have merit are denied / ignored because of the gender/ethnicity of the contributor?
It would a wonderful project for someone to bring epoll and kqueue (with a fallback to select) to the PHP (and its related libs).

I don't think a book is "not language agnostic" because two particular languages aren't very good at it. C's lack of closure support is unique among any language still in use, for a variety of reasons. Java... was Java. If you weren't there you may not remember or understand, but at the time OO was at its most dogmatic and either it was an object or it was not included. Anything you could do with a closure could be done with an anonymous inner class. (Which is, technically, true. But the amplification factor on the effort and the sheer quantity of text involved to do so in Java is astonishing.) You can hear some of the echos of this in the older Ruby rhetoric, though I haven't heard it in a while.

Any other general-purpose language you'd be inclined to pick up right now would be fine.

IIRC, you end up implementing a scheme, which you can do nearly in the language of your choice, then the book covers that language you are implementing.
Someone at a state school would have the same thing happen to them if they pulled stuff like this. No reason why they should be treated with kid gloves because they got into Harvard.

> I truly don't get what kind of company is expecting software engineers to be on call.

What if you have clients who pay you big $$$ and they work all the time? That's not that unusual.

> What do they even want you to do about issues clients have with software? If the software is down for some reason, call devops. Or call AWS. I don't care.

Very narrow view. You can have a software team of 4 people and bring in 10-100 mil contracts. There's not a DevOps staff in this case. And what would AWS do?

> If there's a bug, its not going to get fixed at 4am by one person pushing a hotfix through production.

I've solved 100s of problems ~4am by doing just this.

> Although if thats how bugs get fixed at your company, maybe you should revisit whether thats a good approach to devops and when you find that its bs

- Buy/start to manage legacy app for XYZ company

- Legacy app breaks

- Need to fix it

None of that has anything to do with the software company being a bad company. Things break.

> "btw, you're on-call.." "if I wanted to be on call, I'd be in medicine."

I'd be super mad if I didn't know I needed to be on call at a company and they just told me I needed to be.

I'm not arguing that it should be expected in software, just that there are plenty of software companies that require on-call staff, like mine.
I wonder what role will Google play in this. I mean, will it simply continue to evaluate "based on quality" (and other external factors), which would mean that as time goes by more robot-written articles would rise to the top, or would it take a hard stance against robot-written articles, just as it did against article farms, and find a way to ban all or most automated articles?

A lot of the right wing "propaganda" is not coordinated by any central apparatus. The people running many of these sites are opportunists who understand that the "alt right" is a firehose of traffic, and set up sites purely to make money from ads.

The idea that there is some evil mastermind group behind the media blitz is laughable and only further demonstrates the misunderstanding the democrats have. ("The Russians hacked the election!!11!!") Fact is, where there's traffic, there's advertising revenue. Setting up a "news site" and blasting it across twitter, The_Donald, etc can be very profitable. Profit is the main incentive here.

> Italians, Greeks, and the Irish also used not to be "white".

Are you thinking of the term "WASP" in place of "white"?
Italians and Greeks are 'W' but not 'ASP', and Irish are 'WAS' but not 'P' — but I think all three would be considered 'white' by people all around the world and I don't think that has changed.

Perhaps where you live where's a different capital 'W' version of 'White' (contrasted to 'white'), but that's not how most of the world looks at these groups. Do you think the people living Italy, Greece, and Ireland believe they are excluded from being 'white'?
Bitcoin addresses are basically a public key, so you can generate them offline the same way you can generate pgp keys, openssl keys, SSH keys you use to access GitHub etc.

The chances of a collision are so astronomically low that our sun will probably run out of fuel and explode before two identical keys are generated.
I think the concern here is that it was private.
In addition, there's also the high-achieving students that basically get ignored because they're not a problem. I had a ton of behavioral problems in elementary school because I did well and was bored out of my skull... I only got attention when I acted out, so of course that's what I did.

Things didn't really click for me until I had a series of teachers who recognized that I was doing well and treated me like a person who was actually interested in learning.

I wasn't even an extreme case in my school system. One kid, who was generally regarded as the smartest kid in the school, got caught basically turning an SAT scam into a business. Ended up getting multiple Ivy League acceptances reversed. He didn't even need the money, he was just bored and liked the popularity that came along with doing SATs for the cool kids.
I didn't look at comments until today, I love that the primary thread I spawned was the semantic differences between absolve and abdicate. I appreciate the criticism, I learned quite a bit about the differences :)

From personal experience (IANAD), cutting carbs to below 50g/day has greatly improved my life. This "diet" naturally leads to increased fat and protein intake, and for me resulted in weight loss, better concentration and reduction of inflammation (mild psoriasis improvement).

Also, I recently got a pack of (urine) testing sticks which confirm a high level of ketones, and plan to experiment with increasing the daily carb limit.
> The students in the spinoff group exchanged memes and images “mocking sexual assault, the Holocaust and the deaths of children,” sometimes directing jokes at specific ethnic or racial groups, the Crimson reported. One message “called the hypothetical hanging of a Mexican child ‘piñata time’” while other messages quipped that “abusing children was sexually arousing,” according to images of the chat described by the Crimson.

You know, if that's your personality, I'm OK with you feeling ashamed enough that you feel the need to keep it private.
Vaniila is a new take on live blogging, focusing on social engagement, a super-easy slideshow format, and an extremely-focused feed highlighting only the best moments. This social live blogging platform is for anyone who is passionate about sharing events.

From a quick google search, it appears 20,000 of Google's 60,000 or so employees are headquartered in Mountain View, and it is widely considered the company's "headquarters." I'm not sure it's apt to think of it as an exception. And it's in the process of being rebuilt, which can be understood as a doubling down on this approach.
What platform isn't personal? Sure, you don't use your real-name here or there, but it can and will be linked to you in the future. Any online and offline activity has a real chance of being linked to you at some point in the future.

It's bizarre thinking to be honest.

iOS is never getting rid of the App Store and given that it is the lead development platform for most apps it still sets the direction for the industry. Which is perfect for Google because it cements their control over the Android ecosystem as well.

If Amazon was smart they would go after Microsoft instead and try to build some smart, next-gen cross platform productivity and consumer apps backed by intelligent backend services. Control over user data is where the real money is.
Why does working consistently like an appliance require the OS provider to know the state of your device at all times? Our appliances have functioned well for decades without this capability and clearly don't need this senseless data collection for the sake of data hoarding. Yet every manufacturer of every product is jamming it in wherever they can. Fridges, cars, dildos, you name it, it's got telemetry or people trying to implement it.

It is simple, data is becoming worth something because you now have the ability to analyze all the data you could ever collect. And so, everybody naturally jumps on the wagon because of the inherent profit motive.

If a computer was an appliance, you would buy it and it would never need to phone home. Now we both know that there is some need for updates and it might therefore be a good idea to classify computers as something other than appliances.

Really "gluten-free" means that someone with severe celiac disease could eat there, and the acceptable levels of flour/gluten/whatever have to be very, very low. So low that you will probably need two separate food prep and storage areas. That doubles the space and staff and work requirements.

That being said, gluten-free reheated frozen food out of a bag is just a more expensive version of ordinary reheated frozen food out of a bag, so I don't think it would help these places very much.

> Furthermore, the ship has sailed on the debate of whether these expanded TLDs are a good thing

Why? We could simply remove all of them again.

Or we could open TLDs to be affordable for everyone.

But the current situation has literally Google domainsquatting on TLDs. That’s... insane.

There was a really good article on Ars about using this to detect natural gas leaks just a couple weeks ago:

https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/04/natural-gas-is-leaki...
They are guaranteeing for that producer their power is purchased at x$/whatever for 20 years. Massively lowers the risk profile for the wind farm, and lets them focus on potentially expanding. Google is basically acting as a subsidizer of renewable energy here. So while yes they rely on the grid, they're a market force for increasing the percent of the power produced on the grid to be renewable.

Every MW produced by the renewable is a MW not needed to be produced by natural gas/coal
Wouldn't the same logic apply with the seller and their vendor? At the end of the chain, someone ends up holding the Bitcoin, and they have an incentive to pay a little extra, assuming a reliable and consistent level of deflation.

In a sense, this already happens in dollars, in the form of opportunity costs for relatively stable investments like mutual funds. Assuming zero transaction costs, what's the difference between spending Bitcoin that would otherwise appreciate 5% value per year, vs. spending dollars, thereby foregoing the opportunity to invest in a 5%/year mutual fund?

(Obviously, I'm assuming an ecosystem of both fiat and crypto; it might be a different story if we were debating a deflationary-crypto-only marketplace.)

Also: it's worth noting that the steady influx of new coins, deflationary and otherwise, means that if one looks at the entire crypto ecosystem rather than just Bitcoin, the deflationary problem may end up being practically non-existent. For better or worse, the whole thing is effectively a live experiment in the Free Banking model: creating markets for currency itself.
It's harsh in the sense that not only is there a tiny amount of it that can be safely occupied by humans, but also that the sliver we do have can be easily wiped out by random events, and will be inevitably destroyed in a few million years.
> not as usable in terms of backups/enrollment as I want

That's what I was referring to when I said "all current implementations are crap." A better implementation would change that (by e.g. having client certs sync in browser-sync like cookies do; and sync in the OS between devices like macOS keychains do.)
Agreed! Here's hoping they cancel the Mountainview expansion and focus on replicating the New York approach.
What's expected? As an owner of a software company that requires on-call staff (I'm basically 100% on call all the time): If they did not mention it during the interview, nothing is expected of you on-call. If they bring that up, renegotiate your contract.

- How often are folks on-call? How frequently do issues occur at your org?

I worked in IT that had a rotation. We'd have 6-8 techs and just rotate weekly. However, issues were infrequent: maybe 1 every 2 weeks. Minor things.

- How much do people get paid? Is it extra when issues happen?

Depends. Maybe your total compensation is worth it to you. Maybe not.

- Is it normal to have all developers on rotation? Or do you have a separate operations team?

It's absolutely normal to have only some devs on rotation. It depends on your business.

- Can you work remotely? Are you expected to be available at short notice? Do you have a second level backup person?

Legally, at least in most US states (if not all), if you need to be available you must be paid for it if you're not salary exempt. So if you're not being paid, feel free to go camping.

Always have a second level guy. Then a number that gets called to ping the CTO/CEO if that second level guy doesn't check in. There are systems for this.
I'm so conflicted right now.

On the one hand, yeah, that shit is offensive and I'm not too keen on elevating a person who makes jokes about sexual assault or violence against minorities.

On the other hand I'm terrified at the creeping surveillance society that has institutions examining all of our utterances for "wrong speech", which is much too close for comfort to "wrong think", which is much too close for comfort to "wrong person".

My issue is that there’s corporations squatting on TLDs, which no normal person can afford.

Not only does this increase the advantages an established corporation can have over individuals or startups, it also ends up with Google literally domainsquatting entire TLDs just because they can.

And there’s no registrar above them that could simply revoke their domains for squatting.

And de is as much a ccTLD as .io – it’s not really the actual case anymore. DE is one of the largest domains overall, even counting gTLDs.

And we could simply solve this – use the power of democracy (aka, governments) to force TLD ownership to be entirely non-profit.

I don’t want to see large corporations buy massive amounts of TLDs (as google has done) and then sit on them. In addition to the antitrust issues that can appear with this.

How should a startup ever be able to compete in a reasonable timeframe with Google if we allow these corporations to grow ever further, and gain ever more power?
You would need a cursory knowledge of ml to be able to understand it, but you can implement the examples in plenty of other languages. The principles taught are fairly universal. (At least for the first half, I haven't made it beyond that yet...)
Presumably they pay more money for the renewable energy, overall increasing the demand for renewables and decreasing demand for coal.

I see what you mean. I interpreted a little differently, as another poster here mentioned in the sense of "avoiding extremes" or overconfidence in general. So all in all a rather basic notion that people are familiar with from culture, historical events or their own life experience but dressed up in a way that ticks a lot of satisfying mental boxes. But if you interpret it in the way you mentioned then I agree that it's not very useful.

I did undergrad at a state school (University of Illinois at Chicago) and later worked there as a researcher and our pension was bankrupt and the state was just trying to murder what was left of benefits and reasons to want to work there.
