The issue is that time and time again the reaction to dissenting opinion isn't to discuss the merit of such opinion but to shut down the conversation and drown it out. Also, I haven't seen the original memo, my understanding is that it wasn't intended as a manifesto. Beyond this, I don't know that it called for anyone to die.

Maybe you can point out some things in the memo that you feel warrants someone's ability to make a living be taken away.

Edit: I would expect for people who preach in the name of diversity to be more open to criticism and opinions that don't match their own. I've said of myself repeatedly that I'd much rather have more politicians I can respect than those that I agree with. It's somewhat hypocritical of someone to espouse diversity, while simultaneously shutting out differing opinions.
I have a lot of trouble seeing how this tension could possibly be diffused peacefully.
Posterus provides coroutines just for that: https://github.com/Mitranim/posterus#routine

Posterus coroutines are similar to async/await, but cancelable and free of `await`'s race condition problem (promise can get rejected before `await` attaches a handler).
Damn. That sounds like they almost made it work. I wonder how those cars would have done with corn ethanol. Electric boost for initial acceleration and better heat exchangers would have probably completely eliminated the remaining problems with them. Thanks for the link!

If people want to talk about it, let them talk about it. If you don't want to read them talking about it, don't read them talking about it. It's weird hearing anyone claim we need less discussion and communication about anything. An unproductive conversation won't hurt anyone. If anything it'll teach everyone we are further apart on an issue than anyone thought and that maybe we need to step back and think about the issue more broadly.
I think it would be more like if your Son said "what if I called my sister a c-word" and you kicked him out of the house and cut him off completely.

I'm not saying you don't have the right to do that, or that in this example your son was right, I just think it would be an over-reaction and would create a chilling effect on your other children from asking questions or thinking about things differently.
Great, let him go to court and defend his thesis. Why don't all the sexist guys get together and form your own organization and let's see how you survive in this world?
So basically you are saying that it was fair game for Poland to forcibly capture the territory, but when the USSR did the same, it's wrong and despicable?

Nice double standards.
Each one has their own advantages and disadvantages.

For example, VSCode is surely preferred more than Atom by Go developers because of the integration of the tools, Atom has the GitHub integration. And, maybe I am wrong, but I think that Atom has more people hacking it (making plugins and themes) than VSCode.

At this point, VSCode vs. Atom is like VIM vs. Emacs.
You wouldn't automatically need low latency. In a situation like the above one the car could pull over and wait for the control center to tell it whether the drive on through the water or not.

> Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. This is not legal nor securities advice.

Look, we know. Only armchair financial enthusiasts use those disclaimers, and you've made it painfully obvious and its a bit contrived.

Federal Reserve regulation D is not the SEC's regulation D that you talked about.

Regulation D is not an applicable exemption, neither is Filecoin's use of it, because the secondary markets where people are inevitably going to trade them have to be registered broker dealers to legally trade things that admit they are securities. Unlike private equity, there is nothing that functionally prevents people from trading cryptographic tokens, so it is better for now that the tokens themselves make sure they are NOT securities, not just 'exempt securities'. No matter what Filecoin did, there is still a major infrastructure problem that threatens to hamper all liquidity in this space, unless tokens are structured as products and distinct from the securities market.

We've been here before. The SEC tried to regulate commodities. The SEC tried to regulate commodities futures and commodities options. The SEC thought they were covered under the wording of the Securities Act of 1933 but ultimately that just made no fucking sense for commerce. So the people of this country and the representatives thereof created the CFTC.

And yet again, the SEC's frameworks makes no sense for this market, where assets can functionally be like a security, like a commodity, and like a currency simultaenously.

A new framework isn't out of the question. For new services and sales that happen to use cryptographic tokens, being unambiguously a product isn't out of the question. Being unambiguously a security isn't out of the question.
incredible lack of critical reading ability

When factoring in all the egregiously false headlines, news stories, tweets, etc. about this I think what is really going on is not lack of critical reading ability, but rather some people's willingness to tell outright lies and willful misrepresentations when someone points out aspects of reality that these falsehood peddlers would prefer didn't exist for whatever reason.
That sounds interesting. Do you have links to some of those predictions and how measurements held up?
To be blunt, it kinda does.

Before, the major actor that could issue genuine consequences for speech was the state. The word "Consequences" in the statement "freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences", means a punch to the face or a stern shaming from townsfolk. You got on with it, kept doing your job, continued to live your life.

When the state objected to your speech, it would end your life, it would destroy you.

But fast forward to today. Suddenly loud demographics of people have the ability to destroy you in the long term, destroy your working prospects, smear your reputation, mark you as unhireable, harass you everywhere. State level consequences. It's no longer a punch to the face in a bar for obnoxious speech. It's no longer the "consequences" in "freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences". Those consequences are now state level. How meaningless would this statement be if it was "Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences from the state."

"You're free to talk, no one will stop you, but we the state still get to destroy your life." How meaningless is that?!

You say people shouldn't be vilified as an outcast. But that's what will happen!
Interesting, I would have assumed that relying on VM scheduling would be more efficient.

As a corollary, are custom promises faster than native promises?
Mazda sort of assumed their drivers would read the manual and drive the car properly. I think this workaround was figured out at some point in the 90s anyway.
I like that analogy. The immune system is generally good, but it can do a lot of damage if any number of things go wrong.

In the grand scheme of things, being intolerant towards intolerance is certainly on the positive side, but it is still scary seeing the vitriol directed towards whoever is the current target of our internet hate.

I think a lot of people (on both sides) feel like we've had the "stupid opinions" part of the debate repeatedly for a long time and are tired of having to put up with hearing the same "stupid" arguments and are ready change instead of vague platitude and promises.
I don't think the ability to put some of the heavy lifting in C++ code diminishes the value of Electron or Node.js any less than any other scripting language that lets you write modules in C or C++. The way Node.js C++ addons are written and built doesn't diminish the "write once, run on all platforms" nature unless you try really hard to write platform-specific code.
It's not a PR win, but it's a mitigated loss. They may have thought by not firing him they were endorsing his opinion, especially when many people were calling for him to be fired.

That would be very disturbing, but that's not what's written in the document. Saying that there are average differences between groups, and that therefore people should be treated as individuals, is not at all like saying that all individuals in one group are inferior to another.

>> My hypothesis is that Africa over the next two decades will look like India and China the previous two decades.

I agree with the basic idea, but Africa is way too over the place for that statement to apply at the level of the continent. Some countries will still be down and out due to their economical and political instability (there is really nothing in the cards today indicating that Nigeria or Congo, for example, will be significantly better 20 years from now), and on the other hand I would not be surprised if some countries would outdo the "China" metric and be considered developed first-world economies by then (in fact I would be surprised if it did NOT happen for a handful of them).

I have a credit card from Luxembourg that is somehow set up to ask for signature, even though it can do PIN just fine, and I really don't recommend this setting in Europe, it's a massive pain in the ass since most merchants aren't equipped to deal with that. You end up having to sign the merchant's receipt with a pen like you're back in 1970, it takes a lot more time than entering your PIN (or better yet, contactless without PIN these days).

(And I did complain to their customer service, but they won't change the setting).
I agree with that totally.

Put another way, the problem with having a "software spec" is that you already have the "software which is a spec" and now you have 2 specs.

Or a 3rd way, figuring out the right interface for 2 components is at least 50% of the work when writing software. So, spec writing is like programming. And you wouldn't want to program by committee, would you?

This is one thing Amazon got right - having small internal departments and interacting like separate companies.

VIM and Emacs treat the process of editing text completely different. Atom and VS Code do not.
The alternative is likely nuclear war.
Lol, I bought my RX-7 from an Ohio state trooper, in Ohio, and we raced the entire 2.5hr trip out of the state, in the rain. I think he called his buddies to leave us alone.
>The reality is that tech companies led by women do better
Wow, what a sexist thing to say. Ignoring Marissa Mayer for the moment, are you claiming that women are inherently better at something than men? Isn't that a little like claiming that men are better than women at technical roles? That white people are better than black people at building civilization? Seriously, that is a nazi-esque belief you have there. I suggest you reconsider your stance before making claims about one group being better in any way than another.
> Am I confused or is it not the case that the whole argument for Electron is "write once in Javascript, have a native app for all platforms"? If this is what a flagship Electron app has to do to be performant, is there a real future in Electron?

C++ data models can be write once compile almost-everywhere (all desktop platforms at least) pretty easily. You can write C++ code that compiles on iOS, Android, Windows, and MacOS, and Linux, without any great difficulty.

Making all the UI and system integration code cross platform is a more valuable service. Just dealing with something like the Clipboard on all the above mentioned platforms is a lot of boilerplate code. Not to even get to actual UI widgets!
Should "Farmers only" dating apps also be banned?

What about features in an app that allow users to filter profiles of potential mates by their religion? Or age? Or gender?

I think I understand where you're coming from - that the app contributes to cultural divisiveness - but I don't think I like the implication, which to me is "one is not allowed to seek ways of finding others of a similar culture." If you don't allow projects to be created that allow people to find those similar to them, you are taking away their ability to do so.
His "references" are mostly Wikipedia links.

I wish he had posted the anti-echo-chamber parts on their own, instead of using them to decorate an argument on gender differences.
Customization is a lot easier. In atom, I can easily tweak plugins that I install. Also, theming is done using less/css. In VS Code, theming isn't done via CSS and that makes things a lot more difficult.

The VIM plugin for Atom is a lot more feature rich than the VS Code version.
Hey, from the original document (I have added the references for you):

- Openness directed towards feelings and aesthetics rather than ideas. Women generally also have a stronger interest in people rather than things [1], relative to men (also interpreted as empathizing vs. systemizing [2])

- Extraversion expressed as gregariousness rather than assertiveness. Also, higher agreeableness.

- Neuroticism [3] (higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance).

Now what do you think about it, now you know the real references of the article?

Google's platform isn't analogous to a house (a private space) it's more like a privately-owned public space.
Interesting! This must be new. Bluebird didn't have upstream cancelation last time I checked. Now it might actually be viable. Should update the readme. Thanks!

Unfortunately it's still not viable in the browser due to its size, promises too easily get converted into non-cancelables, and worst of all, async/await forces native promises. If you want cancelable coroutines, you're forced to roll a generator-based implementation such as what Posterus provides.
I'd imagine you could split it in different ways too-- technical employees, employees in the Mountain View office, all employees, etc.
have you seen this http://toptalkedbooks.com/stackoverflow/all
Guessing you’re not a minority in anyway. When others who aren’t a member of your class tell you anything that’s inherent to your class DOES hurt people... such ideas are often used to restrict what you can do or set you up for failure in society in a particular way because ideas spread. They also do a lot of internal self-harm just from being expressed by others.

It’s bad enough to get that in life in general, but then to get it at work as well....

I think what the GP meant is that if you're a young white guy this all seems a bit accedemic because your job isn't in direct question. Perhaps it would be harder to get hired in the future.

If you're in a minority being questioned (women here, could be a racial group, age range, etc) people are directly questioning your ability and implying you aren't fit for your job. It looks like a much more personal attack.

So they're a lot more incentivised share/discuss it.
VSCode is also built with electron[1], so that doesn't excuse it. Atom's defenders always bring up that it was made with electron as the reason for it's slowness. Then, VSCode came along and invalidated that. Now, that leaves only one conclusion: Atom is slow because it was not engineered well.

And no, I don't think anyone is ready to stop pointing out that Atom is slow. Atom can implement a thousand killer features, but until they fix their performance problem nobody is going to switch back to it.

If anyone wonders why the North Korean are obsessed with nuclear weapons: it's our own fault (USA).

During the Korean war, when ceasefire negotiations were straggling, both the US and N. Koreans came to the table expecting the other to surrender. During this time, it was suggested to Truman that the US threaten the use of the atomic bomb to coerce them into a peace treaty. Already having nuked Japan in WW2, Truman did not want to issue that threat. It wasn't until his successor, Eisenhower, came to power that the US threatened the use of the atomic bomb, and the N. Koreans begrudgingly agreed to an armstice.

Thus, the nuclear weapon is their symbol of the ultimate power of the bully, and a way to guarantee their freedom and independence.
A lot of people seem to think it does:

http://waxy.org/2011/12/no_copyright_intended/

> How pervasive is it? There are about 489,000 YouTube videos that say “no copyright intended” or some variation, and about 664,000 videos have a “copyright disclaimer” citing the fair use provision in Section 107 of the Copyright Act.

[snip]

> On YouTube’s support forums, there’s rampant confusion over what copyright is. People genuinely confused that their videos were blocked even with a disclosure, confused that audio was removed even though there was no “intentional copyright infringement.” Some ask for the best wording of a disclaimer, not knowing that virtually all video is blocked without human intervention using ContentID.

The point is, people understand plagiarism, and they universally think it to be wrong. People want copyright law to enforce that social norm, not understanding that plagiarism isn't something the law cares about; copyright law is somewhat related, but it is mostly orthogonal to it, and there's no other law which even defines the concept. Therefore, people try to magic up a new copyright law which does what they think it should, and are honestly shocked when their forms of words are worthless. After all, real lawyers use forms of words to do things, so why shouldn't my magic be similarly efficacious?

Yes. Some popular promise polyfills totally trash the performance of "native" promises. I don't quite remember which ones. Needless to say, Posterus also compares very well in this field.

Is believing men and women on average have different hormone levels and generally speaking, this leads to different behaviors and proclivities, sexist?

Is admitting there is any difference between the two sexes, sexist?

Is using different pronouns for men and women sexist?
