Not literature per se, but two episodes of Black Mirror come to mind:

"Hated in the Nation." Online mobs lead to death in real life because of a scifi twist involving artificial swarms/hives of bees. I won't get into details so as not to spoil the ending, but it deals rather directly with the issues raised in the article.

"Nosedive." Less directly related, but hits the nail on the head with respect to the employment concerns raised by the article.
You didn't think it was okay to punch Richard Spencer, I assume?
The use of previous branch history and branch address as a "context" for prediction reminds me of the very similar technique used for prediction in arithmetic compression as used in e.g. JBIG2, JPEG2000, etc. --- the goal being that, if an event X happens several times in context C, then whenever context C occurs, the probability of X is more likely.

Also, since modern CPUs internally have many functional units to which operations can be dispatched, I wonder if, in the case that the "confidence" of a branch prediction is not high, "splitting" the execution stream and executing both branches in parallel until the result is known (or one of the branches encounters another branch...), would yield much benefit over predicting and then having to re-execute the other path if the prediction is wrong. I.e. does it take longer to flush the pipeline and restart on the other path at full rate, or to run both paths in parallel at effectively 1/2 the rate until the prediction is known?
You can't be serious. I literally got harassed by a stranger yesterday.

What is the reason for the fork ?
What's the reason they forked/main difference from Node.js?
Try Amazon Prime Now for groceries. Where I live [1] they are partnered with Sprouts (which is similar to Whole Foods). Or Instacart.

Edit2: What do you mean by subscription? They still seem to have an order minimum (that varies by store).

Why cant Apple Ireland buy US companies?
Wow, I never knew about Google Express. I've been using Amazon Prime Now to get my groceries, so this makes things even easier.
From an issue:

> I'd be open to re-merging if and when the problems plaguing Node.js are resolved. Problematic people removed; use of "policy" as an excuse ended; power structures reorganized to emphasize community over tech. So far though it seems like there's little desire to fix these problems from those with the power to do so.

I'll let you figure this one out. I don't really think it's okay to punch _anyone_.

Given that Spencer's position is seriously indefensible, it's much more effective to attack his arguments directly.
Another property is that because it holds an integer numerator & denominator, there's no round-off errors in drawing the line. Now, we'll have to get some pretty high pixel counts for that to matter, but it's another interesting property vs accumulating a fixed or floating point calculated slope.

Electric will drive down the per-mile cost of the vehicles, and autonomous will drive up the per-hour use of the vehicles, which will lead to a larger potential margin.

You can sell a car for a lot more if it's being rented out for 12 driving hours per day. Especially so if it's a high end experience. People have a hard time shelling out $60,000 for a car when they could get something pretty adequate for $30,000, but when the choice is a $2 cab ride or a $4 luxury cab ride, a lot more people will pay the margin.
probably both bug and feature, humans havent stopped evolving yet
It's because women in S. Korea (and several other Asian countries) have been treated almost like animals, and it was a cultural thing. It's a backlash for something that's been happening for a very long time, and in a way arguably more violent than in the West.
Care to share a good brand?
'This project is bound by a Code of Conduct.' in bold has probably something to do with it..
Seems to be disagreement on either architecture, failure to implement specific features or fix specific bugs, and angers over the policies of the node.js maintainers.

Serious question: do you have separate beds for sleeping/working? I've worked in bed during long periods of recovering from injury but I found it was very difficult to fall asleep at the end of the day because my body thought it was still 'in the office'. Now I work at a regular desk, and fall asleep within a couple of minutes of lying down at the end of the day.
From the issues, it sounds like there is some sort of political dispute.

I don't think any protections are needed. People just need to stop participating in those "online mobs" and not take them seriously.

It's the same tactic that needs to be employed against terrorists. The more seriously you take them, the bigger threat they are.

The people who fired Damore are the problem. They escalated the conflict. They are the ones who should have known better and not get involved in mob justice.

So a little less than 3 hours, I'd imagine.
Nope, I use the same bed. I do have difficulty to fall asleep though.
That same comment is in the Node.js readme as well. And if Ayo.js was objecting to the code of conduct, then they would have removed it when the edited the rest of the readme.

As far as I'm aware, Cryptopanic[0] is the only decent news aggregator but it doesn't have HN-like discussion features.

News in the cryptocurrency community can be extremely unreliable and designed to influence trading negatively or positively so most people stick to sources they can really trust.

Day/Swing Traders - They use Telegram channels(Whalepool, Whaleclub, Bitstash, Coinfarm) for their discussions and pick their news from subreddits(r/btc, r/bitcoin, r/bitcoinmarkets, r/Ethereum, r/ethtrader).

Developers - Slack and Telegram. Reddit and Twitter for their news

As a fellow open source developer I completely understand you. Thank you for your work on LibreOffice.

Having said that, the grandparent reflects an undeniable truth of our time. User expectations are high, users are "spoiled": they expect it all and they expect it for free. Not commenting on whether that is a good or bad thing, just pointing out that it is true.
Germany had, just 10 to 15 years prior, shown pretty thoroughly that they were competing with the best of them in terms of "self-determination of a single nation bound together largely, but not exclusively, by ethnicity, shared language, and implied lineage to predecessor states".

Japan today and Germany 196x share the labour shortage. But Japan's demographic problem adds a second incentive to encourage immigration, whereas Germany back then was experiencing the baby boom. So, if anything, Japan has an even better case for immigration today than Germany 60 years ago.

You're no better than him when you engage in thuggery.
But why won't they just work on a separate branch still sitting against the main git repo? So long as the internet is up it offers the same thing basically.
Is the opposite also true? Is the upvote button not an "I agree" button? If it is, then the opposite is also true. Otherwise there really isn't a point to the vote buttons.
Since the comments say this is probably due to political reasons, I feel like this fork would mean a lot more if it included contributions that were rejected by nodejs as well as a communitity of contributors to keep this fork active.
Aye! Oh!
Not if the new person disagrees or prefers a slightly different style. Reviews at least provide a chance of discussion and a possibility of change. Not everyone wants to work in an authoritarian environment of "do it this way or leave."

Not to sound pedantic, but... why do you think they pay you?

Not many of those things get blown into the air in massive amounts right where population density is highest though.
If it ends up having a similar impact like IO.js, I would say, why not. Fork it every other month, I wouldn't care.

If this is less "technical issues need to be resolved and we need to be agile" and more "I hate the other person so I won't work with him/her" though, then it would just cause problems all around the community.
soooo... you want mercurial?
For those asking what the reason of the fork is it looks like it has something to do with a code of conduct violation by one of the node developers that the steering committee voted to ignore. I have no idea what the story behind it as it doesn't seem like anyone has actually published the full story.

Regardless of the reason, this seems like a premature announcement of the project. There isn't a roadmap, list of distinguishing features, or the guiding principles. More information is definitly needed here.
I read it, wish I hadn't wasted my time on something as disgusting, but I did. I doubt 5% of the world would appreciate the message. Then again, I never saw equal rights as a threat.

I don't think he's necessarily a Nazi though, just a spoiled biggot who hasn't walked a mile in anyone's shoes, not even his own.

> but personally I feel like I'm less likely to engage in the sort of behavior which might invite an angry mob while posting under my real name.

The problem with this is the 'sort of behavior' you are referring to is posting any statements that disagree with the worldview of the majority of the people in your circles.

Without anonymity you will also lack civil discourse when all of the sane people on the minority side know not to speak up because they fear retribution.

Anyone who publicly considered voting for Trump was accused of being a sexist, racist, xenophobic, Islamophobe. So instead of any sane discourse, there was just a surprise upset when Trump won because everyone was convinced the strategy of accusing all Trump supporters of 'isms' until they shut up was working.

Person, AFAICT there was just one guy with a Nazi flag but a lot of picture where made of him.

Portraying the whole alt-right (or the whole right) as Nazi's is inaccurate, offensive and divisive. It just helps them, and it leads to everyone reasonable getting stuck between angry fascist communists and angry fascist Nazi's.

As an aside, white supremacy != Nazism. Nazism includes white supremacy, but adds some other factors like fascism. White supremacy is not all that different from the popular Jewish supremacy movement in Israel. Most peoples want to preserve their cultures and not let themselves be replaced, but it seems like only European welfare states and the U.S. are ever attacked for it.

When did you last hear about the "Islamic supremacy" that is the dominant culture in the Middle East?

Yes, it means that you may link it in your C code or use it standalone (hence – `Embeddable' in name). Lisp programs share ABI with C, so you are able to create library in Common Lisp which will be used from anything having FFI to C ABI.
"Smart" does not mean computer-controlled, as opposed to mechanical. "Smart" implies that it talks to and is controlled and updated via the internet and usually cell phone apps. Offline non-smart devices are still wholeheartedly welcome to use computers for internal and local control.

The way this fork has been presented clearly indicates this fork has no future.

If you indeed have problems with the way nodejs is run, the first thing you do with a fork is present it upfront in your fork, with some idea on how you're going to go forward. All you see here is one issue potentially discussing some bad policies or people. wishy washy.

And discussion in another thread is almost satirical -- discussing "lifetime" of a benevolent dictator "for life". [1]

There's no clear leadership or goals for this fork.

The previous fork was successful because a lot of the developers went with the fork and it was fulfilling an unserviced need in the community for a node built on newer versions of v8. Does anyone know if this fork has much of a chance of survival?

Lack of seaworthiness in nodejs
Things get a lot more complicated than the standard bresenham in the real world.

For instance, if you plot (x0,y0) to (x1,y1), will it visit the same pixels as plotting (x1,y1) to (x0,y0)? Probably not, unless you take care.

If you need to consider clipping, then setup requires multiplication and division (or you can step N times until you are inside the clipping region, but that can be slower).

Snapping to integer endpoints produces very noticeable artifacts for animated graphics (yes, noticeable even if the lines aren't antialiased).

It seems like NZ is growing at a pace of around 3%p.a. You're free to argue that there's some fantastic economic system that only you know, but most people will rightfully be sceptical of such claims unless you have a few examples of countries at NZ's high level of development growing at a much higher pace.

Other than that I've lost track of what were arguing. It appears as if you just start making completely unrelated arguments when you're proven wrong.
The couple I looked at were on Wordpress or React.

Alternate Reality, a cult classic game from the 1980s by Philip Price featured a character creation process similar to the one described in this article (it also contained many other game features well ahead of its time). A rotating series of numbers would scroll through each stat box, with the player having to hit the space bar to freeze the numbers and select their stats. However, the stats slowly degraded the longer the player waited and watch them scroll past. Interesting to see this issue examined in depth over 30 years later.

You violate HIPAA, and it's severe. So there's already a precedence for sensitive data. We just need to ensure all our personal data is considered under a sensitive data infrastructure of some form. That would hopefully also disincentivize home gadgets from constantly dumping everything to their mothership.
Going through those links it's still not obvious what's happening. @rvagg has some kind of leadership position, has some strong opinions about codes of conduct (not the only one), and they're forking the project for that?

What?
Yeah but not the touch bar.
didn't follow the node development closely, what was this fork?

Gofmt, or rustfmt or whatever language fmt are really one of the best things that happened to modern development. Even if you don't agree with the style, which nobody does fully, it's much better than having discussions about style all the time and having to format the code manually. Formatting just happens when you save the file, so you can forget spaces and everything when writing and your code will look fine when you save it.
observation:

Good: Hardly any entry of "Uber for X". That's a relief considering most "uber for X" are not viable businesses.

Bad: we are going after "billion dollar market". How do you even estimate the market size ?? why dream of revenue in billions why not millions. A small company can be a great company.
Bad: 50%-60% companies from day 1 or day 2 do not have mission critical business. Their business is finding a problem for some kind of solution that claim to have.

Ever since SCSI I can't say that anyone will have success trying to encourage people to pronounce their project names in a certain way.

Good luck to them though and anything that improves the node space is welcome in my book. Forks included.
All parties are hypocritical in practise, so I'll take your point. For the Trump election, they really sold the protectionism in a way they hadn't before, though. Full-on "Down with NAFTA!" etc.

I agree. and it's not just transportation, or even taxes, it's also the cost of labor. iphones are assembled in china because chinese workers are cheaper than automating those particular jobs. cars, on the other hand, are almost entirely made by robots these days.[1] there's not as big a price difference between chinese and american robots as there is between chinese and american humans.

apple has a history of entering fairly high-margin markets where the existing products don't look or feel or function very well, and then they give it the jony ive treatment. but tesla is already there, they applied apple's playbook to cars and honestly took much bigger risks to get there than apple ever would. tesla took on a LOT of debt to be competitive, and it'll be a while before they even have profit, much less good margins. it'd be very hard for apple to compete. if apple ever enters the car market, a tesla acquisition is the only thing that would make sense to me.

I always thought this process was sort-of intended. I feel it shows some respect to the author of the code under review to comment on it, and not to change it–especially not if that would result in changes that are then merged without first getting approval from the author.

Agreed. It also prevents the reviewer from introducing extra bugs from knowing the code less than the author.
It was called io.js.
