I run a small blog using Hugo. Some weeks ago I published a new article. All was well, until I visited it a few days ago and noticed all but the very most recent article link was broken.

Apparently Hugo decided to transition article urls from PascalCase to lowercase without any sort of migration path, warning, or indication to say that things were about to break.

You would think at least some thought would have been put into a migration path.

It's one thing when entering a new market. You expect your sales in Italy to go some zero to something, and if it doesn't you know your ads aren't working. It's harder to tell the difference if you already have large sales, unless you can connect an individual sale to the ad that drove it.

Two things are swirling in my head:
1) Libraries and librarians are rabidly anti-censorship
2) The Supreme Court's ruling about pornography "I know it when I see it"

Libraries aren't cesspools of things titled "...a Fat, Childless 32-Year-Old-Slut" and yet subversive books have always been available.

Libraries/librarians seem to have figured out how to toe the line between freedom of speech and the kinds of hate-speech that caused GoDaddy to dump the Daily Stormer.

These are raw thoughts, but I'm wondering what we might be able to learn from the librarian ethos.

Decolonising Science Reading List
>The real advance was noticing that a server-subscription based MMO can print money while a non-server-based client-authoritative game architecture dies a rapid financial death due to piracy.

MMOs have more consistent cash flows than regular games which means the developers can work on content updates in the future. Regular games will have the majority of their sales within the first month then quickly taper off. This is unrelated to copyright infringement. In a peer to peer architecture cheating is a far bigger concern than copyright infringement.

By the way the reason why ingame transactions in freemium games work is because there is no spending limit which means a small rich minority of players ends up spending multiple thousand dollars on the game to compete with other players.

> IMHO a 6502 is too limited to be effectively programmed in C

I've had some thoughts on this before and I think it boils down to the requirements. Beyond the obvious (the speed and memory requirements for your application):

If a 256 byte separate data stack is large enough, and particularly if you can put that all in zero page you can save many cycles. Then you can use the X index register as a stack pointer, benefiting from shorter and faster zero page indexed addressing for stack-relative loading and storing and using values on the stack directly for indirection using the indirect addressing modes without first copying stuff to zero page.

That's not to say that Z80 isn't a much better target for a C compiler. Among 16-bit 6800-likes, 6809 doesn't seem half bad, though.
>original CEO pushed out... honestly, they should...

I'm not convinced. If you look at the big ones like Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, they kept their founder until big except Apple where they kicked him out, went pretty much broke and then got him back and then recovered.

There are also many examples where the founder was kicked out and the company tanked but it would be hard to distinguish cause and effect there - maybe they were fired because the company was doomed. I find it hard to think of any where they achieved great success by firing the founder(s).

Managing a large company is a skillset but you can hire for or learn that.

Having the vision and drive to start and build a company is also a skillset, and one that's much harder to hire a replacement for.

By the way The Hard Thing suggests hiring experienced people to help the CEO, not replace them.

Lol. Citing arxiv is even worse than citing wikipedia, and some reviewers will reject arxiv citations all together. It's full of junk 'science' by crackpots. Not just 'hey look I ran this regression on a public dataset' bad, but all-out 'I was abducted by aliens, and I made up an equation to show that they took me to Pluto' bad. Maybe it differs by field, I don't know - but suggesting arxiv is 'trusted' the same way Nature is 'trusted' is inane.

I have no quarrel with the author writing a blog post about his opinions. Also, every open source project has its complainers (paradoxically, the less money people pay, the louder they complain). No open source project survives longer than a year or two without learning to separate the signal from the noise, and tune out the outliers.

What does put me off though, is the trend toward "clickbait" headlines even for personal blogs.

"Why I'm Leaving X"

"X Considered Harmful"

"Farewell to X"

"Why I Do Not Like X"

I guess you just have to do this in 2017, if you want to get anyone to click your links and read your stuff. But the web feels dumber for it.

> should be judged on their content

This works in compsci and related because evaluating the quality of content is easy. For biomedical research you generally need one of the very few people with verified expertise in a very narrow sub-sub-field to distinguish solid research vs. "mostly bullshit" vs. "useless intellectual masturbation"... you can't just replicate in order to verify a study where you might need a >1M budget to replicate. And these people's time is extremely expensive when they are simply not "unavailable".

Also, even people's knowledge is hard to verify in there areas. Someone might "sound highly informed and experienced" but be "100% full of bullshit" while holding a tenured position... again, especially in the medical science area.

So people simply go for some type or 'argument from authority' simply because finding an alternative solution is too hard (and would also piss off too many people and/or corporate interests in the process...) to be practical. A "human chain of trust" is the only economical alternative, unless you want to re-make the entire academic system from scratch along better principles in these areas...

So at least you try to ensure that a for-profit entity like Elsevier doesn't "own the human chain of trust".
Adoption (especially in industry) takes time, but there's definitely interest in the Clojure and Scala communities.

Yes which is why ordinary individuals can't just start a journal. But governments and universities come with already-established reputation.

Have any universities actually tried?

Unless it's a documentary, absolutely not. I "need" to know whether a character is drinking water or soda or coffee or wine, but not what brand. Make one up, it's more interesting. The realism should come from other things than brands of all things... if that even moves the needle, the movie is trash anyway.

And yes, a lot of trash is called movies, and a lot of shills-du-jour are called actors. So? Compared with craftsmen they are nothing and produce nothing.

Well, that exists in the form of citations. The more a paper is cited the more valued are its authors. Just as the more often a site is linked to, the higher its page rank. And since you're not dealing with massive numbers of sites with lots of SEO experts, straight citation count is good enough without any of the corrections included in the page rank algorithm.

Hiring committees look at both quantity of publications and citations to those publications. The problem is that quantity doesn't always indicate quality. Which is why journal prestige acts as a proxy measure.
