> And when you start looking at professional level software (e.g. CAD), very often you will find that there is literally no FOSS alternative in existance. If it exists, it will most likely be a buggy mess that has far fewer features and a horrible interface.

We wanted to help FreeCAD[0] grow as a leading FOSS CAD application, to help it reach out to other developers. That is why we invited Yorik van Havre[1], one of its main developers, as a main track speaker to FOSDEM 2015 [2].

I'm not asking you to do something similarly constructive, but... Next time you state your opinion about "professional level FOSS software (eg. CAD)", please think first if it is necessary or even useful to gratuitously throw around negativity. Even if the tools are not useful at all (yet?) for your task, why discourage its users and developers? Chances are, the FOSS app _will_ be useful and even the only option for some.

I'm a bit disappointed about grammars. Usually, when I try to use them, it gets difficult. Especially when recursion is involved. Lately, for instance, I was reading the ECMAScript 2016 reference, and in it they define a repetition of elements with recursion[1]:

ArgumentList:
AssignmentExpression
ArgumentList , AssignmentExpression

I've never managed to do something like that with Perl 6's grammar. Basically every time I try to use recursion, it doesn't quite work unless I do some tricks.

Maybe I ask too much, I don't know.

See, this is the point I still don't understand. None of the things you mentioned involve the publisher or title of the journal. All of those reputational aspects are functions of the reviewers and editors, right?

The people accepting and reviewing the papers are the sole source of any journal's value. I mean, people didn't stop listening to Lou Reed or Prince or Radiohead just because they switched labels. Nobody buys music because of the label.

So what's stopping a mass defection of a reputable journal's editorial staff to a new, open title? I'd expect this level of brand loyalty from mindless consumers buying material junk, but not from a scientific community supposedly dedicated to objectivity and quality.
> A lot of documentation is a bad sign to you?

A lot of documentation that specifically talked about Visual Studio and not any other (more platform agnostic) tooling is probably what made them say it was a bad sign.
Very well explained, thank you. I was assuming things will happen as if they were "separate companies" but had no clue about the recusal and how the board room operates vis-a-vis new deals and voting.
Many API developers misuse/overload HTTP status codes when they should actually be using application specific status codes delivered via a wrapper to the response.

Any time an API returns a correct response the HTTP response code should be 2xx. Many developers use 4xx status codes to indicate things like data validation errors or other things that are not part of the HTTP transport.

HTTP is the transport layer, and any application specific scenarios are best handled with a custom error namespace that can be returned within any 2xx HTTP response.

Generally speaking, if the HTTP layer is returning 5xx you have a server problem and client code should not know anything about that or do anything but retry. If the HTTP layer is returning 4xx then the client is likely poorly designed or misconfigured.

But for typical client operation, when there is no server error or client design/configuration error, HTTP responses should be 2xx or 3xx and any additional detail should be handled in an application-specific way, not by overloading the meaning of HTTP response codes, which are for transport-related concerns only.

> There will always be deviations from the norm, and given the fact that there are known physical and psychological differences between the sexes[1], I don't see why those differences wouldn't lead to differences in career choice overall.

This sentence is nonsense, which you can tell from how you had to formulate the conclusion. Not "A therefore B" but "A therefore you can't rule out B."

Yes there are gender differences in psychology. But the link between the specific gender differences the Manifesto author pointed to and the conclusion is non existent. The piece is just a bunch of handwaving. It's the Chewbaca defense of sexist ranting.

Nazism is today considered by almost everyone a very radical belief, far more radical than almost anything else being commonly discussed in politics.

Nazism is not a case of "right vs. left", "republican vs. democrat", etc. It's not a case where it's an almost 50/50 split, but because the left has more power over media/tech, then the right's views are considered fringe and are "punished".

This is a case where almost everyone agrees that these views are completely outside of standard discourse. Don't conflate this with the common (and IMO somewhat valid) view that a lot of what's been happening lately is "repression" of the right by the left.
I believe that cc65 has a good linker that handles once set up for a platform/memory configuration. I don't know how efficient it is, but I bet that manually organizing code and data to minimize cross-page access will be more efficient.

On old (16-bit) x86 you used "far" pointers, which were larger for cross segment access. These were larger and I assume slower since they encoded both the within-segment address and the segment number.

How to choose the right web application firewall
As a company, Daedalic has only been a company for 10 years. Here are some games older than 10 years that use a 'single cursor' interface:

King's Quest 7 from 1994

Zork Grand Inquisitor from 1997

The Longest Journey from 1999

Blackwell Legacy from 2006

Pretty much, this has been the standard interface for most P&C games since the mid 90s.
That's certainly reasonable. And I totally agree with "try it out and gauge for yourself whether it's valuable for you".

My worry is that people will be put off from the field of machine learning if, 3 lessons into Andrew Ng's course, they will see that they don't understand anything, and that it's not practical to boot.

So my advice (generally applicable) is to try a few different things, because different resources click for different people.
It's not in Germany. And the government companies that did have been sued all the time, and lost every time.

My city currently has the issue that we need new low-income and student housing, the private companies refuse to built it (not profitable enough), but say they'd immediately sue if the city would build on its own.

The resulting housing crisis has driven up rent for 2 decades now, but we can't do anything. It looks like they're slowly coming to an agreement now, with the city making a deal that they can build such housing, in small amounts that are unlikely to influence the market prices, if it's built in places where no private developer wants to build.

So Damore wrote a treatise on how the "diversity mindset" -- with it's presumption that both (all?) sexes are equally biologically suited for technical pursuits -- might actually have a biological component which is being overlooked or, worse, willfully ignored, and the response to that is, no, this isn't possible, and that the systemic cultural influences are beyond his comprehension? So, the answer to his call for further discussion is to double down on the original argument? Am I reading that right?

It's not equality of results, it's equality of opportunity.

You can get the same initial chance to prove your ability at basketball as he did. You can even get a slight boost to compensate for things (maybe he was a lot more motivated, or maybe he got some practice in the 'hood). And it'll turn out you have no skills/talent/ability, you're not 2 meters high, and so on.

Now, with sports, it's not a problem if we don't spend more than a few seconds of thought on trying to create equal opportunities, because with competitive sports the point is exactly to not have equal outcomes.

But with broad categories like jobs/career, income, wealth, political/legal/professional representation, we pretty much want to make sure that if one gender is underrepresented then it's not hurting us all on the long run. It might turn out that yeah, women don't really like tech, and those few who do are very welcome, men can behave around them, and those instances of sexism are just the expected rare problems that do happen in every other walks of life. But so far, it seems that it's very much not the case.
> Nevertheless, Americans as a whole still consume very little soy protein. Based on 2003 data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, per-capita soy protein consumption is less than 1 gram (g) per day in most European and North American countries, although certain subpopulations such as vegetarians, Asian immigrants, and infants fed soy-based formula consume more. The Japanese, on the other hand, consume an average 8.7 g of soy protein per day; Koreans, 6.2–9.6 g; Indonesians, 7.4 g; and the Chinese, 3.4 g.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1480510/

At least it's several times bigger than European and USA consumption.

Citation required for what? The fact that they eat more soy?

Demonizing soy is just a fad. Like demonizing meat or dairy.

Most of USA and Europe eats female mammals like cows and chickens, are we going to make claims that female animal estrogen contained in that flesh makes men infertile? Seems like a much more probable cause than phytoestrogen from plants, not that I would be irresposible to make that argument without any evidence, as is the case for soy.

> "and it is not necessarily a bad thing to have separate tools to handle separate needs."

It's not a bad thing to have different high-level tools for different needs, but in the case of lower level frameworks it's suboptimal unless interoperability is seamless. In the case of PulseAudio and JACK that interoperability is not seamless, and is fraught with problems, so in this regard Linux audio is worse than CoreAudio.

As a general comment, I would love to see more "reviews" of programming languages like this, even ones that are already in, use but maybe only in one niche, or should perhaps be more popular than they are.
The article claims so in the headline and then proceeds to show that it's relatively easy to set up a fake account and get some brand deals but then provides no numbers or insight into why this is actually a widespread problem. The fact that it's doable doesn't mean it's a problem, if they made less money than they put in then it's not a problem because no one in their right mind would actually do it. Putting something in a headline doesn't make it true.

What I think is even more frustrating is that OMEMO is not required by default. I try to communicate with a group of people without WhatsApp, but I'm not in a position to tell them each which options to check, and what to look for. That's too much hassle for them. That's why I think Jabber/XMPP is lost.

Encryption must be on by default. Better if there is no option of unencrypted communication at all. Go get a debug build for that.

Receiving receipts and reading receipts are a must. It must be on by default. Communication always goes two ways. I had enough situations where one couldn't be sure if the other person has read an urgent info and whether the situation needed escalation.

Account information must be hidden, if the system is not decentralized. People don't want to remember account names and passwords. Get device specific keys, or whatever. Just hide it from the user, unless they want to look at it. People don't want to hear about servers.
But you don't know the reviewers when you are looking for articles about something.

Reviewers aren't related to the articles: you don't know who reviewed your paper, and in good practices reviewers won't know the author of the papers either. The point of trust is the journal: the journal has its impact, its reputation, built as good articles are published and cited. And the cycle goes on: good reviewers means good articles published (on the average), that attracts attention to the journal, that will be looked for new articles and will attract better reviewers, that will do better revision, that...

Want to break that? Begin to give credit to the reviewers, and it will be gamified too: people will have to pay to publish with good reviewers (and there will be impartiality?), or they will make a journal/company so that you take off the weight of the reviewers names and will put the impact factor on the journal... ops...

What's Behind a Successful Startup Apprenticeship?
I disagree that the LaTeX pdf looks better than the LibreOffice pdf, because fully justified text is less legible. If you take your eyes off the text for a moment then it's harder to find your place again. It's all one featureless block with nothing to guide your eyes. The uneven right edge of the LibreOffice version makes it easy to distinguish individual lines. This is especially important if you're skim reading.

But I recognize that some readers prefer the fully justified version. This suggests that the real problem is designing for a fixed page layout. It would be better to publish in something like EPUB, where you can display it however you like. Everybody I know who reads scientific papers reads mostly on screens now, and I think this is common. The printed paper version is more for archival than actual reading, so it doesn't make sense to prioritize paper based typography.
I wounder if this is the start of a significantly less free internet. In the past if one site started censoring ideas, one could open up a new site to express those ideas. Now that a hosting site is removing a site for hateful ideas, I wounder what would come next. Maybe in the not so distant future, sites that publish mainstream Republican news will be removed from GoDaddy, or maybe sites that disagree with SOPA [1] or that shooting wild elephants is wrong[1].

While I think that posting an article titled "Heather Heyer: Woman Killed in Road Rage Incident was a Fat, Childless 32-Year-Old Slut" shows that you are a terrible person, there has to be a media for them to express their ideas. If the government wont "sell" domains directly to people then there should be a rule similar to net neutrality that will require private companies to treat all sites equal no matter how much they disagree with the idea. The alternative to that is to make sure that you don't post anything on your own website that will anger the domain name registras.

Who knows if in the future your idea will become an idea that many others disagree with.

> Gowers hopes that German negotiators and Elsevier will both ‘refuse to budge’ and that contract talks break with no agreement.

Cross-site scripting
If done collectively that has worked before. In 2001, almost the entire editorial board of the Springer journal Machine Learning resigned [1] in order to lend their support to a new open-access journal, Journal of Machine Learning Research, which quickly supplanted the former as the top journal in the field. It helped that this included a lot of senior people in the field (Stuart Russell, Geoffrey Hinton, Leslie Kaelbling, etc.) who would be the ones judging ML hiring and tenure cases at many universities.

Well, if you were a common Hans in 1930 Germany, you might have listened to smarter folks, and they wanted to hurt Jews a lot, take their stuff and beat them for their greed (or whatever).

Are they really smarter? If you think yes, then what can we do, you'll happily join them, and probably won't be swayed by even smarter people's arguments.

If on the other hand those allegedly smarter people advocate against the spread of nationalism by recommending that you maybe don't employ or get employed by nationalists, that might be a bit different, yet maybe totally counterproductive.
