>If our future economies will be driven by these tokens, we might think back at this period of time, looking at perhaps the people who will be the %1 of the future.

I get your point but please don't feed this "fear of missing out" that I'm sure many are feeling (myself included, to a certain extent). Some people are going to invest money they can't afford to lose.

Maybe they'll be the next 1%ers. Or maybe they're just like the folks who bought pets.com shares. There's simply no way to know and at this point it's more akin to gambling than investment.

Play the roulette, bet everything on red. You wouldn't want to miss out, would you? If red does come out and you don't bet you'll feel like a loser.
Some languages don't have first-class functions that you would pass into a map or reduce function, which makes writing loops unavoidable.

But even if you do use map/reduce all the time instead of loops, you're just saying the same thing I did in another way - unless you're doing it for the intellectual thrill of writing a call to map/reduce for the n+1th time.
They aren't marching with neo nazis. You are generalizing an entire group of people based off a small few. Essentially this would be like saying all liberals are left wing terrorists because they support Black Lives Matter, whom speaks highly and celebrates a black nationalist who killed a police officer and fled to Cuba. Or all left wing groups are extremist because Antifa literally use communist and facist tactics to shut down there enemy. Stop and think before you post non sense.
For me, the bloat isn't as big a problem as the fact the 3.x is unmaintained and has at least one known security vulnerability.

According to the Guardian[1], "Damore initially told the Guardian he would answer questions by email on Monday, but then stopped responding to inquiries. He had a few brief email exchanges with reporters, including at the New York Times, Bloomberg and the rightwing site website Breitbart."

If he wanted to get his side of the story out after being fir4ed, he could have taken advantage of any of many news organizations - which range across the political spectrum - that were offering a platform to speak from. Instead, he stopped responding to those requests and gave an interview with an "alt-right", "men's rights" activist host, Stefan Molyneux. This is one of the worst things he could have done if he wanted to avoid being associated with misogyny.

I get the impression that a lot of people are not familiar with how fascist ("alt-right") propaganda works. While Molyneux's audience is large, interviewing with the NYT or Breitbart would have reached a larger audience, so this isn't about getting his story out. This isn't about the contents of the memo and the bad science about sex-linked preferences. It's about repeating the idea as many times as possible until the idea of discriminating against women becomes normalizes as a legitimate political question.

The lawsuit itself is similar: it keeps people talking about discrimination. The propaganda works regardless of the outcome of the case. If you want to see a very good explanation of how this type of propaganda works, see this[2] explanation of how "Triumph of the Will" probably influenced your mental model of the Nazi party.

Getting off topic fast, but I always found Chocolatey to be needlessly complicated and messy.

I was very happy when I found http://scoop.sh. It's simpler and slightly less powerful, and most notably it just runs official installers in the background instead of copying binaries over from the source and packing them up in a special way.

In your link the "Software for dev/test" is blank for cloud subscriptions. It comes with TFS licenses but I do not believe it comes with Windows licenses, even for the period of the subscription.
Let's assume ability is independent of sex, completely measurable, and completely random, and remember that 80% of engineers are men (a fact an individual employer can't change in the short term).

Under those conditions there's an 80% chance the best candidate is a man, a 64% chance the best two are both men, a 51% chance the best three are all men, and so on.

Hiring the best candidates isn't a reliable strategy for increasing the percentage of women unless the current percentage of women is near 0 and you plan on hiring a lot of people.

If the current percentage of women is over 20%, hiring the best candidates is actually more likely to decrease the percentage of women.

Another aspect of this is the fact many of those devices release a significant amount of radio frequency interference. Although mostly amateur radio operators and shortwave radio listeners are mostly affected that RFI does affect other electronics such as lights and TVs. Frankly, I wish the US govt would enforce its laws on energy efficiency and RFI more because they're not really that mutually exclusive barring switching power supplies (but even that to my knowledge is becoming less true as the regulator components are becoming even better at not producing as much RFI across the HF spectrum now).
Interesting slides, hybrid-cloud is definitively a challenge and the community need better tools.

Most of the arguments in the article are agnostic to the size metric - offhand, I cannot think of any claim that is invalidated by changing to your measure. Furthermore, it is the proponents of short functions quoted in the article who are using line count as a metric, so it is not as if the author of this article has created a straw man by choosing a misleading metric.

The newer VDSL standards define an Ethernet PHY rather than ATM-based encapsulation (given everyone ran PPPoE over it anyway it's one less layer).

How's that any different than something that talks SQL? It's the most universal data language there is.

Why do you have to make new tables? It's 1 table with timestamp, name, value to store all your metrics and you can use an array or json column if you have extra non-structured data. Add in the SQL joins and analysis and you get a much better tool for timeseries.

> I'd argue that most of our current economy is gambling (stock markets).

I think you're confusing economy with speculative investment. Most of the US economy consists of manufacturing and service industry output, not the stray under or over valuation of the stock market (which is derived from non-gambling output in the first place). Since when is $6.3 trillion in gross manufacturing output considered gambling? If there is a major economy anywhere on earth that has been a more sure thing (aka the exact opposite of gambling) on average over the last ~140 years than the US, please point it out.

Whether you value Apple at $500 billion or $800 billion right now, has no substantial impact on their sales or net contribution to the US economy / GDP. The same is true for Facebook, Microsoft, or 3M, Delta Airlines, Johnson & Johnson, GE, Berkshire Hathaway etc. Whether the S&P 500 has a PE ratio of 25 (2017) or 18 (2013), does not dramatically alter the US economy.

There's also nothing "current" about it. The stock market has been important for the US economy for more than a century. It's increasingly less important, not more. The private non-bank market for business capital has expanded dramatically while the public market is contracting - and likely to continue contracting - as fewer companies go public.
for liberals, it reinforces preconceived notion in tech.

Requester: ridiculously powerful, elegant REST client for Sublime Text
Yes, you can, depending on the environment. I've done it in prod multiple times. There are a handful of features that aren't 1to1, but they can be worked around in other ways. In most cases, the people I've seen say this either tried Samba pre v4, or had more complicated setups where it may not apply (for example, cross-forest trusts just recently were prod ready in 4.5.1+), or usually just didn't know their way around linux as much.

Is it a replacement for all situations? No. For many though? Yes. Of course there are other options as well, such as FreeIPA, etc.

> BTW. I am not aware that Damore had a senior job title and even if he had, his job didn't involve writing rigorous papers.

What else is a design document or review, a non-LGTM code review, or an outage postmortem beyond a rigorous paper? The skills are exactly the same: you have to take external research and internal data about your business practices, and explain why the observed facts were as observed, what the company should do about it, and why your proposed approach is correct.

This is a significant part of every job I've had, and Google tried to hire me earlier this year at only L4 and not L5. (The fact that Damore was L5 is well-attested by both pro-Damore and anti-Damore sources.)

When I'm not sure about something, I'll generally ask a question like "Hey, why are we using Debian instead of Fedora" or "Hey, why are we structuring on-call like this, the SRE book says we should structure it like that," and look for an explanation. I won't write a document saying "This is why Fedora is better than Debian and why all the attempts to use Debian are based in a fundamental misunderstanding of reality" and then ask for criticism.

> In his interview he said that his last performance review put him in the top few percent of performers at Google.

Who were his reviewers? Did they deserve their jobs either? Given what I know of Google's hiring practices, I would be entirely unsurprised if there are many pockets in the company consisting of incompetent people propping each other up.

This is a well-known phenomenon in large companies. Quoting Guy Kawasaki recalling something he learned from Steve Jobs:

Steve believed that A players hire A players—that is people who are as good as they are. I refined this slightly—my theory is that A players hire people even better than themselves. It’s clear, though, that B players hire C players so they can feel superior to them, and C players hire D players. If you start hiring B players, expect what Steve called “the bozo explosion” to happen in your organization.

I can imagine they had probably tested it well beforehand, just never done extended tests to discover that it caused hearing loss.
You are technically correct, the best kind of correct. It is possible that my sampling bias is giving me a distorted view of where the world is going, but:

All local ISPs I've asked, don't give out the same IPv4 (they all charge for a fixed IP, so no guarantee you'll get the same one unless you pay; at least 3 out of the 6 actively change your IP whenever they can, to force you to pay even if you need fixed IPs for short times).

All local ISPs I've asked provide the same IPv6 prefix to a customer.

I assumed that was common practice - at the very least, more common than the other way around (fixed IPv4 when you didn't ask for it, random IPv6)
Research papers cite scientific sources, sorry. Out of curiosity I've read the document being discussed here and clicked a random sample of the links and none of them I clicked led to peer-reviewed science (though a couple are Go links and a lot are Wikipedia).

The tone of the language is nice, but the Wikipedia citations remind me of my time teaching high school five years ago. Anyone who wrote a paper without citing in a significant way five scientific sources (google scholar provides free pdfs, how awesome is that?) got an automatic zero.

Wikipedia has good information but it's hardly what one would want backing themselves up for something like this.
It's just a supply/demand thing.

One guy which I knew, a movie FX guy (Maya, After Effects, ...) moved to London and washed dishes for a few months before getting a gig in his field.

And I've met quite a few more people in London doing very low paid jobs.

They are paid so low because you can easily find someone willing to do it for even less.

I'm not saying that this is fair, it's just how it is.

Basic income, which is inevitable, will fix most of this, as in nobody will need to work just to make a living.

Study Reveals Most Companies Leaving SAP Applications Vulnerable to Cyberattack
This practice is seriously bad.

It means that one group of developers is busy improving and fixing packages, and another different group is cherry-picking commits in order to maintain the illusion of stability (as mentioned above).

That second group has to duplicate all the testing work done by the first group, and additionally ensure that there are no new problems introduced.

It's very vulnerable to human error and adds a lot of unnecessary work.
Man Forgets About Buying $27 of Bitcoin, Is Now Worth About $1M(2013)
Most coins are now BTC imitators with some slight variation. ETH is tiring complete and is aimed at smart contracts, however the supply of ETH is relatively unlimited, unlike BTC which has a fixed amount.

Alt coins vary things like total number of coins or block rate and others look to improve aspects of BTC such as anonymity (Zcash and Monero) it's worth looking at the tech behind them to see whether you think it is worth investing in.

Many early coins such as PPC and NVC are essentially scams but something like NMC was trying to do something genuinely new, although the last I heard a serious security flaw existed in NMC which if it was widely understood should mean the death of the coin because it is no longer being developed as it is mainly a speculative vehicle it has stayed alive.
>to one he wrote that is backed by science and is middle of the road common sense

Being a Marxist/anarchist manifesto and being backed by science, economics or political philosophy aren't mutually exclusive. I don't view the memo as common sense - that's not to say it's incorrect, but I don't view it as common sense.

I'm not acting as though it's right-wing babble; my point is that I am against people saying that Google has a left-wing bias, when it's hard to imagine that positions which are core to the left wing would be accepted at Google. As such, I'm not making a comment on the content of the piece, I'm making a comment on the culture at Google which is supposedly 'left-wing biased'.
No one can give you a definitive answer to that question.

If there's a global economic breakdown or catastrophe of a large magnitude, cryptocurrencies would surge in value. If you check the Google Trends for Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies you'd notice how high Venezuela is ranked.

In any other situation the only way cryptocurrencies could substantially increase their market cap would be if there's mainstream adoption of it. We don't seem to be very close to it at this stage, however if you personally have confidence in this mainstream adoption sometime in the future then buying some cryptocurrencies may be an informed speculative bet on your end.

(Please don't make financial decisions based solely on anything I have mentioned)
During my earlier years, I would get into all types of dogmatic debates, such as "DRY-considered-harmful" or "small-functions-considered-harmful". With experience, I've realized that such abstract debates are generally pointless. Any principal can lead to bad results when taken to an extreme, or badly implemented. Thus leading to people declaring that-principal-considered-harmful, swinging the pendulum to the opposite extreme, and beginning the cycle all over again.

Now, I find such discussions valuable, but only in the context of concrete examples. Devoid of concrete and realistic examples, the discussion often devolves into attacking strawmen and airy philosophizing. If this article had presented realistic examples of small functions that should have been duplicated and inlined, I think we can then have a much better discussion around it.

That said, I do have to offer a word of warning. It's possible that the author is a good programmer who knows how to incorporate long functions in a way that is still clear and readable. Unfortunately, I've had the misfortune of working with horrendous programmers who write functions that are hundreds of lines long, duplicated all over the place, and are a pain to understand and maintain. Having short-functions and DRYness is indeed prone to abuse, but it still works as a general guideline. Great programmers may be able to ignore these guidelines, but at least it prevents the mediocre ones from shooting themselves (and others) in the foot.
This is all pretty hand-wavy, but I think the idea is you are creating a wide open market wrapped up in a protocol, in such a way that the network effect becomes your advantage.

I believe the economic model is such that buyers reward nodes that are closer to where the content is being accessed most. I'm not positive, but I'm hoping the protocol actual distributes / moves content accordingly. If so, then you suddenly have something pretty neat, in that you incentivize providers to pop up where they are needed most, across country borders and at cut-throat rates.

Yes, this happens to some extent with CDNs now, but imagine anybody being able to be a CloudFront provider and being able to charge for storage at the same terms as everyone else and I think that is getting closer to what Filecoin is trying to do. (though I fully admit I may be totally wrong given that a lot of these details haven't been worked out yet)

To put it in more concrete terms, when I lived in Rwanda one big problem is that within the country the network is great, they have quite a bit of fiber and very developed mobile networks. But their connection to the outside internet is terrible, they have two pipes coming in and neither is reliable. So there would be great benefits to having local CDNs there, and Facebook and Google do but others don't because it just isn't worth it. You could see something like Filecoin being the economic incentive for someone local to provide that service and greatly increase the speed of internet access for everyone in the country.
I wonder whether that is about to change. As an exchange student in Shanghai, I noticed a clear gender disparity in my CS classes at the undergraduate level. Interestingly, the effect was not visible for graduate students. I don't know whether it's a new development that hasn't had time to affect older students, or whether more women choose to spend more time in academia, or whether male students go abroad for graduate school more often.
> they sudden find themselves to be the target of irrational hatred and hostile actions.

So who exactly is being doxxed and threatened over this? Who is doing the doxxing and threatening? Yes, the debate is being stifled by hatred and hostile actions. We should all oppose that, but some seem to be withholding their condemnation because the results suit them.
