Because everybody else did, including Timothy McVeigh.

Some quotes:

"McVeigh was reprimanded by the military for purchasing a "White Power" T-shirt at a Ku Klux Klan protest"

"he spoke daily to his co-worker Carl Lebron, Jr. about his loathing for government. Deciding that the Buffalo area was too liberal, he left his job and began driving around the country, seeking out his old friends from the Army."

A letter he wrote to a newspaper:

"Taxes are a joke. Regardless of what a political candidate "promises," they will increase. More taxes are always the answer to government mismanagement. They mess up. We suffer. Taxes are reaching cataclysmic levels, with no slowdown in sight. [...] Is a Civil War Imminent? Do we have to shed blood to reform the current system? I hope it doesn't come to that. But it might."

"McVeigh introduced his sister to anti-government literature"

"For the five months following the Waco siege, McVeigh worked at gun shows and handed out free cards printed up with Lon Horiuchi's name and address, "in the hope that somebody in the Patriot movement would assassinate the sharpshooter." (Note "Patriot movement" was the way right wing extremist groups were re-branded in the 90s, just as alt-right and some other names have been used since.)

He made his meager living selling copies of The Turner Diaries (a novel that fantasizes about an armed revolution against the US government, and genocide of blacks, Jews, and gays: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Turner_Diaries) among other right wing literature at gun shows.

I don't see how he can be considered anything but right wing, and pretty extreme right wing, at that.

Strictly speaking, from a conventional mainstream scientific view, stress is physiological. Psychology is a subset of physiology (unless you believe minds are aphysical). The "stress" that you feel in your head when you're stressed is only part of a larger, bodywide physical response.

> Nature is lazy before it's intelligent. At every turn, it would rather reuse a system designed for a completely different purpose than design something new from the ground up.

So we can blame all the crazy things we do with computers and software on nature? ;-)

But seriously, that is a great insight. Both where evolution is concerned, and software development. (And other branches of engineering, too, I bet.)
Aside from the obvious everything that's troubling about the rise of white supremacist organizations, another question has been bothering me.

Where's the line on what terrible things are morally just to do to terrible people? And what must those terrible people do to morally justify the actions taken against them?

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it", etc. free speech is one facet. But I'm focusing on actions rather than speech here.

Just because someone is a racist, sexist, * ist piece of shit doesn't give someone else the right to shoot them in cold blood... does it? And if not, then how far back does that walk before our response is back at "reasonable American citizens striving to live in a harmonious culture that allows for diversity"?

I feel like my spidey sense is going off when I listen to interviews and get the sense that the person speaking would tell blatant lies without missing a beat to win the argument, because they believe their cause is that just. And I've been getting that prickling a lot when I hear both sides speak about their positions. Which terrifies the hell out of me.

Any thoughts / personal moral positions or frameworks welcome. I'm honestly looking for a way to find a shred of solid footing here that makes me feel more morally comfortable than "white supremacy is bad, therefore anything done against white supremacists is good."
> If a club wants to only allow a specific type of member then it should be a private club.

All clubs are private, they just have varying degrees of specificity in their entrance requirements.

That's really the entire point here. Private entities have the right to choose who they will do business with unless the law prevents them from doing so, as it does in many cases (sex, race, etc).
EDIT: Why all those downvotes? Are famous developers not supposed to criticized on HN?

While John has a lot of interesting things to say, the presentation is awful, almost an imposition to the audience.

There's not a single slide, or any repetition to clarify structure, or any notable gestures to make up for that. A simple overview, just a damn simple list of keywords, would already go a long way. That would add a lot of structure and would make the talk so much easier to follow, especially for non-native speakers.

Just because one is so much respected by the audience that they will tolerate everything, one should not act like the audience will tolerate everything.
Ah, I see. Well then, seems like it'd be good to ping them for some clarity and perhaps share the answer(s) here. :)

> All of this inevitably leads to a bunch of pissed off devs. The ones that are happy to eat it become the golden boys and get promotions.

The question asks about behavior that management repeatedly makes. If management repeatedly makes these mistakes, then the mistakes should become expectations, so one should simply accept them and understand that they are part of the game being played. If they are expected behaviors, being "pissed" about them simply is foolish.

Of course, by "accept them" I don't mean one should never try to influence or change the situation, but reacting emotionally rather than rationally is silly. Even if there are no upward-feedback or 360 review procedures in place at the workplace, one can articulate these concerns more diplomatically (less offensively) and send out an email requesting that they be considered. One can even illustrate and trace through how such mistakes have impacted recent projects.

It seems to me that the ones "happy to eat it" simply understand that others have limitations and make mistakes and will try to make the best of the situation. It sounds to me like such people indeed deserve the promotions more than people who bring anger to bear on their work.

Custodial land assignments. Instead of selling lots, which you'll never fully own as allodial titles no longer exist, set up a system which qualifies individuals and families to be awarded land. The idea that we are thrust into this world which requires us to follow a fairly strict path of hurdles just to have a home is a sadly maligned truth plaguing our existence.

We been doing this at Vonage since 2001. This was our "secrete sauce", since at the time there wasn't a well documented or an industry standard on how to do this. Eventually SIP through NAT papers and RFC's did appear, but we already had our way of doing it that was just as effective.

We found that renewing the NAT entry at a rate of once per 20 seconds was good enough. This made it work through all the routers and gateways we came across.

EDIT: SIP is short for Session Initiation Protocol. Its the protocol used to connect VOIP phone calls. We used UDP. SIP's standard port is 5060 and 5061. We had to switch to port 10,000 (any port other than the standard) because too many high end routers and gateways would manipulate our packets. These routers were trying to implement SIP through NAT on their own. I applauded their efforts but it caused problems for us. I still remember the day that I took it upon myself to change production to use port 10,000. I was really scared I was going to break something but everything worked out in the end.

> Minimum guaranteed income

Would this work? Isn't it like "everyone above average"? If everyone gets a minimum amount of money, money will be worth less. It would make more sense to guarantee certain resources, or more targeted welfare (e.g. that comes with requirements on how it is spent).

MRA? You mean the group of mostly men pushing for equal rights to custody and/or visitation of their kids? Wasn't that group started by a male feminist scholar?

What do they have to do with this fringe hate website most of us never heard of before?
Huh. My wife and I deliberately did the opposite of the "avoid exposure to allergens (especially nuts)" guidelines for kids because it seemed like obviously ass-backwards, stupid advice, considering that rates of kids with serious food allergies seemed to have gone up like 10x under those guidelines vs. when we were kids and everyone just fed their kids peanut butter (and everything else) ASAP and serious food allergies were a thing that a couple kids per school had, rather than a couple per classroom now. Looks like we guessed right on this one.

> Some of the provided tarballs are riddled with old vulnerabilities

Are you sure you're referencing the current stable version of the LFS book (8.0)? As noted elsewhere in this thread, there was a Live CD version of LFS which hasn't been maintained for several years, but the main book project, along with the ancillary BLFS (Beyond LFS) and ALFS (Automated LFS) are very much alive and well. LFS 8.0 gives you glibc 2.25, gcc 6.3.0, and a 4.9 kernel. If you want bleeding edge, the development version of the book is updated when upstream source packages are released.

> Does it support SATA and UEFI boot disks yet?

LFS has supported SATA ever since it was available in the kernel! There's also nothing preventing you from building a UEFI capable LFS install, provided you setup the BIOS and grub properly.

> should not be used for building a secure, general purpose system.

Why not? LFS is more than capable of providing secure, general purpose systems -- desktop and server.

Assuming that because someone shipped software that looks good , that they're good.

Everywhere I worked, there's always one "super star" who keeps getting promoted for shipping something quick that looks good on the surface, but did so either by introducing massive amounts of tech debt (beyond what would be acceptable for an MVP), or by shitting on everyone else (working in a corner, ignoring any request for help, ignoring their direct reports, or generally at the cost of all of their other duties).

Makes everyone else look bad and them look good, and generally creates a pretty toxic atmosphere until management gets it (at which point its usually too late).
You don't think technology, and the march towards the technological singularity, is disruptive enough?
I agree. And the study actually points out that "There was no significant between-group difference in the incidence of serious adverse events."

It's important to remember how vital early introduction to both beneficial and harmful environmental agents are to human development. Its easy to have the mindset that I will wait until my child is 3+ years old before I introduce anything potentially harmful with the idea being that they will be bigger and stronger. The immune system is actually quite strong and adaptable early in development which is precisely why vaccines work better at an early age

That being said the parent (esp mother) also plays a large roll in the first introduction of helpful bacteria that break down various foods. The bacteria that are transferred during a vaginal birth give the baby a leg up in establishing its early gut flora. Additionally there is a direct transfer of antibodies through the placenta and breast milk which help protect the baby. I would imagine a mother eating peanuts during both those times would help pass some of these antibodies to her offspring.

Also a common fault is the bearings supporting the drum. These actually take a lot of beating. In the olden days, you could replace them for $15 and two hours of straight-forward work. When my ~ 5 year old Bosch failed last year, I spent an hour on the teardown just to discover they now plastic weld the drum shut, so you instead have to buy a new $150 drum assembly. Youtube had teardowns of the same model built a few years earlier, which was still repairable; there were even still bolt holes right next to the plastic weld on mine. At which point I said screw you Bosch, I'm buying a new Miele. Here's hoping it lasts 20 years.
That's happened in my field. I've helped a couple of C-suiters to recreate/edit their resumes.

Burns me up a bit.

Civilized discussion on hard topics -- There seems to be a large amount of shouting matches going on right now. We need to be able to discuss things in a calm and respectful manner even when we strongly disagree with the other side. There are a lot of buzz words that get thrown out that to me have lost meaning (racist, sexist, etc.). These words do have meaning and there are absolutely people doing these things that need to stop. However, lets stop name calling and start sharing our stories with the intend to do just that, share. When the only goal is to get everyone to believe what you believe, it likely won't be a productive conversation.

The question is what you want to be doing in 5 years or so. You should start taking steps towards that goal. If you want to be freelancer, then you should start taking steps towards that goal. Your first goal might be to get a regular job to save enough money for 6 months of living expenses. Or maybe you don't need to save any money then start now.

As for technical skills, let me tell you a story of my friend. He was an average or below average programmer in university. We all got jobs in brand name companies; he could not get even an interview. Honestly, he was really bad programmer, I don't fault companies.

He expanded his job search from big companies, to smaller companies, to finally anyone posting a gig on Craig's List. He wanted to get hired by a guy who was setting up his band's blog. He had no idea what he was doing.

Eventually, he did a few fixed price contract work for setting up blogs. Then he got a contract to build Facebook for $500. He thought he could do that in a month. As deadline approached, he asked one of his unemployed friend to help him with it, who was also a bad programmer. They still thought they can deliver it within a few weeks. Of course, they never finished and not sure if they even got paid anything for it.

But they kept on bidding projects, taking on too much work to handle. They asked their friends including me if we wanted some side work. Of course, we said no when we saw type of work and money involved.

Eventually, they started a company to look professional. They hired part-time programmers. They even started an internship program with a local university.

Now 7 years later, they have 20 people working for them. They still like to code and they know they are bad programmers. They tell me that their programmers hate it when they get involved in a project. They are supposedly still working on Facebook clone website.

Now to be honest, they did had several advantages over many people in the US. They lived with their parents, so had no living expenses. Their education was paid for by their parents, so they graduated with no debts. So their success might not be easy to copy if you have bills to pay.

Also pretty sure all these perks came with daily nagging by their parents though.
