I can confirm she is a contractor @ FB as I've seen her work in my building. The whole article is misleading saying she is an employee. Being a contractor for that team I think she gets paid ~$25 an hour. She says she doesn't want her coworkers to know that she's homeless but now we all do...

I think the problem with "this" is that you are trying to recreate classes instead of passing it as a parameter, or using currying. Arrow functions might be slightly more intuitive to intention, but the problem is still there. The implicit nature of "this" in JS is always worse than any explicitly controlled alternative.
if you think that calling racism or nazism horrible is "subjective" then you clearly have no solid principles and this conversation is over

Small correction: the performance difference between ripgrep and GNU grep on single large files isn't that great for common use cases. For some more complex cases involving Unicode (and specifically, predominantly non-ASCII files), ripgrep can do a lot better.

(That statement changes a lot if you're looking at another grep like BSD grep, or if you're directly comparing `grep -r pattern` with `rg pattern`, which is always subject to caveats, because the latter is doing some guesswork and parallelism where the former isn't.)

Coding Interview Question – Optimizing Toy Purchases
Ignore what they all said. It's proven that adding 3 dimensions of color means the information entropy is at least trippled.

If you think about the terminal as a computer <-> interface, then it's pretty obvious that we're bandwidth limited by how much information you can fit onto the page. Any amount of improvement in that bandwidth are certainly welcome changes.

Niceties like having color-coded file sizes and filetypes will seem incredibly obvious in hindsight.

The naysayers today are the same people who were outspoken that a text editor with color syntax highlighting was "poor usability and design". Well then why the fuck does every single modern text editor today colors every single word and displays them in different fonts and styles?

You think these very people don't use syntax highlighting in their editors and explicitly turn them off? They should be denied from using them and rightfully so. But they will naysay and then utilize to their sole benefit, the very things they were so opposed to.

You can be assured, they are myopic morons, barely able to internalize what they see ahead of them, let alone envision with an open mind, the possibility that your fantastic work might actually benefit them while costing them nothing.

Colors are poor usability and design? Nope. Next? You're colorblind? Well, fuck you right in your colorblind eyeball sockets. Nobody gives a fuck about you. You deserve it. It brings me great joy in knowing that you are colorblind. Your life must be unfairly shitty isn't it? Great joy. Warms my heart. Next? 'exa' is too hard to type? Then don't type. Don't do anything at all in fact. You're too lazy and useless to accomplish anything worthwhile anyway. Stop consuming oxygen and occupying space. Better for everyone.

How about those points for counter-criticisms?

It's the nature of the distributions of populations that you will always find these people wherever you look. Gladly, they are easy to ignore. Listen only to those who offer constructive criticism and carry on with doing fantastic work. It is certainly appreciated by the other vast majority of people who are silent and greatly benefit from your work.

I've completely replaced ls with exa with an alias. It's a tool that I've recommended to every one of my coworkers along with fish shell. Now I only wish I had other posix tools of the same quality. Any chance you're writing other tools too? Would kill to have a total posix tools replacement with the same quality as exa.
I am very interested in the s-expression stylesheet format. I think it would be preferable for me at least to CSS, especially the code for alternating rows; I imagine that people write programs in this language might have well done away with the need for CSS preprocessors that we have today. This also makes me ask a question - why are there no Lisp-like CSS preprocessors?

I am reminded of the proposal to markup webpages with s-expressions rather than XML, though there are packages available (actually just macros) in CL that let you write websites this awy.
Wow! I wonder if we could we potentially infer color from black & white photos of celestial objects, by this technique? Maybe it could be combined with the adaptive optics that attempt to cancel stuff like this?

Me, I can't get over the point that CSS introduced a whole new syntax for item/values when HTML/SGML attributes were exactly designed for presentational properties. The idea/dogma that content goes into HTML and presentation into CSS, with completely separate syntax, didn't make any more sense back then as it does now:

If two files are orders of magnitude different in size, it's easy to tell that just by the units. As opposing to counting the number of digits, which is tedious and error prone.

I disagree; what's easier, spotting the biggest and smallest of these at a glance:

6,677,967
5,916,109
7,164,551
3,745,059,597
3,175
4,194,304
3,550,137

or these:

6.37M
5.64M
6.83M
3.49G
3.10k
4.00M
3.39M

If they differ by orders of magnitude, then the difference is visually obvious when the full digits are printed out --- sticking out like the proverbial sore thumb. If they're compressed into units, you have to do some more mental multiplication and comparison.
Tell me. I am curious to know if use a text editor without syntax highlighting.

Seems to be the case that there is no modern text editor that doesn't color every single word. Must be so hard for you now that you're forced to use these tools with such "poor usability and design". How do you even manage?

It makes me wonder whether a lot of the more ridiculous arguments against Monsanto are actually just memes spread by Monsanto itself in order to discredit detractors.
I started reading this and two paragraphs in I thought it was crazy and a total waste of time to read. Then I seemed to keep reading bewildered by the lengths the people on both sides went in their flame war. The hours spent uncovering all this info on Van Dyke seems over the top but Mr. Van Dyke's responses, especially the email which states "the bottom line is I will not forget you.....if it takes 20 years....I may get you on my first try. I may get you on my seventeenth. But I will never stop" is definitely over the top. Just goes to show how emboldened people are when behind a computer screen.

I will have to say I had my fair share of laughs off the unfolding story and the subsequent links to "The Proud Boy and the Sockpuppet."

Three points from this and "The Proud Boy and the Sockpuppet."

1. If he "gets him" on his first or 17th try, why would he never stop?
2. Mr. guns and ammo seems to be a bit coo-coo-ca-choo.
3. The shock that Mr. van Dyke is unmarried and that he has never really had luck with women.......really?

If you have 10 minutes to spare, give this train wreck a read. You should at least get a few good chuckles out of it.

SBE ENT holdings hacked
Just got an email from SBE holdings. They own many hotels and restaurants (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SBE_Entertainment_Group) and their Sabre reservation system was breached, where access to "unencrypted card payments" and "The unauthorized party may have also accessed certain personal information associated with your reservation, such as guest name, email, phone number, address, and other information."

Here is what they said:
"What Happened?

Sabre’s SynXis central reservations system (“CRS”) facilitates the booking of hotel reservations made by guests worldwide through hotels, online travel agencies, and similar booking services. Sabre notified us on or about June 6, 2017, that an unauthorized party gained access to Sabre-specific account credentials, which permitted unauthorized access to unencrypted payment card information and select reservation information for certain reservations processed and stored on the CRS, including the reservation(s) that you may have made for one or more stays at one or more of our properties.

According to Sabre, their investigation determined that the unauthorized party first obtained access to payment card and other reservation information on August 10, 2016, and that the last access to payment card information was on March 9, 2017.

What Information Was Involved?

According to Sabre, the unauthorized party was able to access payment card information for your reservation(s), including cardholder name; card number; card expiration date; and, potentially, your card security code. The unauthorized party may have also accessed certain personal information associated with your reservation, such as guest name, email, phone number, address, and other information."

I remember when I first learned of Carfentanil years ago under the name Wildnil, very large game tranquilizer. What I remember most was the speech we got about handling is and how little time we have if we were exposed, how much reversal agent will be needed in the reversal agent was always to be had whenever carfentanil was to be handled.

The idea of humans actually trying to get high on the stuff is insane and terrifying.

I agree. My point wasn't necessarily that they should charge for storage but more so allow the community to support them financially as they're working on their product(s). The post saying, "we're not collecting money, we're not trying to make money right now" just seems kind of strange. Keep the free model. Let people play around, but I still don't see harm in allowing someone from the community to pay keybase for working hard on a hard problem. I'd be more than happy to pay them right now just because I love the work they do and want them to succeed.

How can you make good decision unless you have intimate knowledge of the problem area. And to do that, you have to have come through the ranks.

Well i think you have never used snapchat. Everyone in this thread are not all accounted in the TAM for snapchat. Before concluding that they should sell or not, i recommend people to use snapchat for six months.
Snapchat is a product which provides delightful experiences to communicate with your friends where you can express yourself as the way you are, instead of waiting for a trophy moment.

Well, SNAP DAP > TWTR DAP,
TWTR Average time spent per day: 1-2 minutes
SNAP Average time spent per day: 30-35 minutes. So SNAP has 30X potential than dead twitter with no product innovation.

The NRA has the response it has because banning pistols as a prelude to banning or licensing all guns has already been tried. They're not idiots, many of them have lived through most of the history of the gun control movement, some have lived through all of it. Also, they can read. They know the aim is banning all guns. The '60s NRA was willing to meet gun control people in the middle. Now they're not because they've learned that the gun control people are not willing to stop there.
That's partly the reason why I tend to avoid software with "modern" in its description... but more seriously, I don't care much for syntax highlighting --- I can put up with it (unless the colours are too distracting), but I do prefer monochrome text.

> 1. 100% of the headphones absolutely do not have 3.5mm jacks. Almost every pair of new "sports" headphones are bluetooth and have no 3.5mm jack to speak of.

I said "about" but I should have clarified I meant only corded headphones. I've never actually seen a USB-C pair of headphones out in the wild, only one lightning pair and I think it was Beats.

> 2. It's disingenuous to claim it "won't work" with the headphones. Does it need an adapter? Yes. Is that annoying? Slightly. But they absolutely will work.

Maybe? USB-C is mostly standardized but not necessarily the protocols each type of device uses. Granted hopefully all headphones are the same but it's technically possible some headphones could use a different protocol making it not work with everything.

Maybe I'm just projecting my bias with the issues of HDMI <-> USB-C.

> Again... have a little patience [...] but to pretend like it's not going to happen is silly

I never pretended it wouldn't and I would LIKE it to happen. The problem is, right now the user experience kinda sucks with adapters and trying to find a pair that you want and can work with your device if you lack a headphone jack. Personally, I just don't want to deal with any of that which is why I either use bluetooth headphones or only buy phones with 3.5mm plugs

I hope you're right with the 18 months I just find the rush to get devices to ONLY USB-C while accessories are almost non existent a bit premature. Again, think of the UX here especially with people who are not technical savvy. This is not super straight forward...yet.
I have no idea if this is valid, but it is often said that people who read a lot more fiction tend to have more of a certain type of empathy.

Not all types of empathy. I think the idea is that when they see someone behave in a negative manner, they are more likely to conjure up a scenario in their mind where that behavior makes sense.

I remember one communications workshop I took where one of the lessons was: "When someone acts poorly or irrationally, try to ask yourself: Why would a reasonable person ever behave this way?" If you can come up with a scenario, then you don't automatically attribute negative qualities to the other (irrational, jerk, etc).

The claim is people who read a lot of fiction are much better at this. Anecdotally, I often find I'm better at this than most around me - even people who I view as much more intelligent. Often gets me in trouble, as well (e.g. my refusal to blanket condemn Wall Street professionals after the 2008 crisis (the key word being "blanket")).

Until recently, I would get quite frustrated with those who were quick to judge in situations where I could come up with (reasonable) scenarios vindicating the person, and could clearly see the person judging had not ruled those out. But in the last year or so, people have sent me signals that this is hard for the average person to do and I'm much better than most.

And the advice I keep hearing on how you can develop that skill is "Read more fiction".

Anyway, my 2 cents. Would love to see if this is backed by anything rigorous.
This is so wrong at many levels. The reason why apps and companies are focussed in getting the 16-22 year olds are

1. They have very high power in changing their parents purchases.

2. Their word of mouth power is exponential compared to a guy who is 30 years old working in corporation.

3. 16-22 year olds are going to become 20-28 year olds in 4 years which is a real threat to facebook. This generation doesn't want to be part of Facebook.

Even taking your (IMO incorrect) assumption that the web only became mainstream when Facebook launched at face value...

> When Hotbot was launched and could actually search with some degree of efficiency it wasn't mainstream.

That was 1996.

> When I could post on Twitter and Facebook it was starting to feel like it was mainstream.

That was 2004. So roughly a gap of 8 years.

Bitcoin started in 2009. It's now 2017. A gap of 8 years.

So, uh, how much longer is a "a long way off"?
The web was mainstream when I was like 10 on AOL doing who knows what with all my classmates. My grandparents even got into it and sent me emails and chatrooms. Geocities was more or less main stream and kinda like pre-social media. Those communities were a little different.

I can also remember using Altavista and Lycos before I ever heard of a Google. My mom introduced me to google to help me research papers for school. She showed me how to do complex searches and is by no means good with technology.

Absolutely agree bitcoin is not ready for main stream. It's daunting for non techies. It wouldn't be mainstream until I can use it as easy as cash or card. Or mom and pop places accept it.
