I could write more, but this isn't the place for an essay on electric motor history. Since many VCs are on here, I suggest "The Electrical Manufacturers, 1875-1900
A Study in Competition, Entrepreneurship, Technical Change, and Economic Growth", by
Harold C. Passer. This is a Harvard Business School book. It's like reading about the dot-com era, a century earlier. All the little startups, the patent battles, the consolidation, and finally duopoly - Westinghouse and General Electric.

That book has Edison's business plan numbers for the first power station, Pearl St. in NYC. Overoptimistic payback calculations and all. The margins were quite high. Gas lighting was expensive and electric light was much cheaper to provide, so Edison could and did mark it up a lot. Electric lighting was very profitable, which sped deployment. Initial sales were slow, though. The bottleneck was marketing, not the technology.

True, and "let" would have been better. Scala uses var and val though, so I suppose they chose it for familiarity.

When it comes to Ceylon, they weren't going for easily distinguished, they were going for unabbreviated (see earlier link) - the rest of the language follows the same pattern.

Anyway, I'd rather take this minor risk of confusion than a language I can barely write without auto-completion. It hasn't been a big problem for me in practice. And if you do use an IDE, it will use syntax highlighting to distinguish var and val.

I’d like to see some scientific studies with decent citation (and potentially well sized sample sizes) around the health impacts of eating / digesting said compound. IMO there is a huge difference in taste between ‘simple’ ice cream recipes vs complex highly manufactured ice cream, I’m weary of adding another state controlling compound to the mix.

Of course, I fully agree. And yet I have witnessed enough developers stating the first stage almost verbatim as a response to a complaint that I grew really quite fond of the link.

It is, actually, quite useful in that regard - it allows you to point out the absurdity of the statement in a humoristic way.

Nobody I know in the SV founder/investor scene talks openly about their sex worker preferences, their porn habits or desperately tries to trick their coworkers into surprise romantic weekends together. However, I'm clearly not exposed to the demographic that is all about that, and I'd love to know more about it.

What is it about that group of people that makes them behave that way? Do they feel they're too powerful to be reported? Do they just not have the EQ to understand how they make others around them feel? Someone steel man that one for me.

That's not in the least a charitable version of what she said, and this is a generic talking point of the kind that always moves discussions in a less substantive, more angry direction (as indeed you moved yourself in the next paragraph).

Woo what a subject.

Where I grew up we had space to grow out. This means our two stall garage became a place for storage, pack ratting. Some of it good but a lot of it.. Eh?

I have to admit this meant that there was never a shortage of tools but this also meant that during my father's passing I had to decompress and sort all of it. Some of it is packratted in my own three stall garage now.

Having a trait to collect myself it is hard to tell when you are going overboard.

Some things like early Nintendo games paid handsomely to keep about. Others like well worn copies of B rate VHS movies? Not so much. The advancement in movie quality made from very high grade studio masters was easy to see if you had technical knowledge in that area but the growth in perceived value for other things is hard to gauge. Growing up with the room to store what you like meant a lot of oddball stuff got packed away.

I'm trying to be more selective with what I pack than my father before me.. But hell, some things I'm going to keep just cause I like them.
> I would advocate people getting more familiar with their package manager.

Personally, I think these kinds of lists and the package manager don't compete with each other. On one side, you list the software packages. The other side is where you get them/ where you package or publish some if you are a developer. For example, if you are from another OS and just came to linux and you wonder: how can I edit videos on Linux. I don't think searching from the package manager is more valuable than this list. It gives people more choices, a wider look, a quick skim like you go shopping.

> Plus there are nice graphical package management tools like the Ubuntu Software Center.

I swear half of the softwares I found on this list (with my usage, not all of them) is not in the Ubuntu Software Center.

dpdk seems to be moving in that direction i.e. using meson.

So they're interrupted more frequently that the time it takes to refocus and therefore never complete any task?
>old household tools like scissors

I hounded an old roommate of mine that moved out with my scissors. Inherited from my father they were rough looking and probably better described as shears but they kept an edge like nothing else and cut without effort.

I like to believe I hounded my old roomie until he gave them back because I couldnt readily replace them even at the hardware store. But mostly I think it is because he took my fathers scissors and that peeved me good. :)

IDE is a good way to kickstart the tests, it allows non-technical people to create skeletons for tests which can then be touched up/prettified/refactored by devs.
Other issues? HN is about the tech industry. It shouldn’t be all roses and technical bits — the unsavory underbelly definitely deserves to be exposed. And unfortunately minorities experience negative things unique to who they are, so it’s important to hear them. The private jet doesn’t matter here — it only demonstrates that discrimination occurs from the very bottom to the very top.
We will see, but most likely it will be a letter from a legitimate employer and bank statement showing a particular level of wealth or regular income, similar to the Business Visas you could get until recently. Previously, at many consulates you could get a 1 year Business visa without a Thai employer, usable by telecommuters or oil-fields style workers for instance, but that stopped maybe a year ago.

Interesting that this got on the radar and might happen. Thai visas have not progressed for decades, and many changes have been regressive tightening of border regulation rather than tackling the sources of problems (mostly foreigners working without work permits, where making regulation more onerous punishes companies trying to follow the law and rewards the ones prepared to flout it).

Collections of things are copyrightable (in at least some jurisdictions).

A recent legal case was brought recently by some sports stats website who sued scrapers. They didn't "own" the stats (any sports viewer could have built the collection independently), but they owned that specific aggregation. I imagine the same is for collections such as map data.

True, but for me, part of the same feeling is tied up in a sense that I might not have money later and I shouldn't count on my current 'wealth' for ever. Don't get me wrong, this isn't some crippling overbearing panic, but it is generally at the back of my mind when thinking of stuff or money.

I'm hoping that this feeling will enable me to either retire a little earlier - as I've saved well, or set up my own business one day - but then again, the risk of my own business! Argh ;)
I dont think we'll ever get private office spaces back. I personally like the openness of the open-plan office, but struggle with the noise.

What would help enormously though would just be full-high glass partitions between banks of desks - e.g. put each group of 4+4 desks inside a glass "fish tank" so that noise does not propagate as easily outside of that group, no need for doors although that would be a bonus.

You'd not need to radically alter the layout of the offices too much - just a thin sheet of toughened/safety/whatever glass between the banks. Bonus points for making it modular so that the tanks can be enlarged to put 4 banks in one batch rather than just 2 etc. Surely this sort of thing would not consume too much space/money?

I would be concerned about echos within these glass-walled partitions, but then on the other hand I've never struggled with echos in the glass-walled meeting rooms so I guess it might be ok.
> What is it about that group of people that makes them behave that way?

Your question overgeneralizes. You're attributing to the group, the qualities of a small number of individuals.
What about the advanced mathematics courses that are obligatory in computer science? Calculus, linear algebra, discrete math, probability, boolean algebra, statistics, and others? I see no mention. Lacking these, I doubt one could be accepted for an advanced degree in CS in a reputable university.
> keeping engineers crowded together like livestock in stables serves as a visual indicator of the inherent superiority of their managers

Bad management and a sign the company is toxic.
that's if you can tolerate having hot earmuffs pressing on your head all day, which I cannot. It hurts and gives me earache.
I think that there are plenty of reasons for companies not to contribute. Not many companies have spare engineering capacity for working on OSS. Of those that do, they have to choose where to spend the effort --- testing tools aren't as exciting as Machine Learning, or the latest JS framework, or.... Of course, once you start hacking on the code, you may find you like it a lot. :)

The IDE is a mature, and old product too, so even if engineers can spend time hacking on it, getting up to speed can be tricky. The Selenium project has an active "selenium-developers" google group, a #selenium IRC channel on freenode, and a Slack channel, where many of the core team can be found.

Which is a long way of saying that it's not always easy for even motivated individuals and companies to contribute to OSS.
That's kind of a moot point when your browser handles most of your online interactions (and therefore a good chunk of your online identity, which is quite valuable to most people). Even if you isolate it as much as you can, which is a good thing to do in any case, it can still do a lot of damage without escaping the sandbox.
No, I will not post any comment in opposite direction, and neither I will keep silent.

If society wants to remove sexual harassment from work environment , then both genders need to adjust their behavior, not just men. For women it means zero exceptions allowed for dating at work, even if the guy is attractive. Or going all in and accepting the dating and sexual advances from coworkers, however that would mean forfeiting the "sexual harassment" cliche.

I think having someone pick a problem for you (thereby removing the option of choice) also focuses the mind.

It likely prevents you from doing a breadth-first search across the many problems, whereas a correct solution probably requires a depth-first approach.

The whole matter feels like a witch hunt to me at this point. It is both unnecessary and dumb of the people and businesses repeatedly pulling their plugs.

> What is it about that group of people that makes them behave that way?

Ok, maybe I'm just parsing words here, but your statement can be read as:

"that group of people [VCs and CEOs] behave that way [sexual harassment]"

Which overgeneralizes, because this still appears to be a small number of offenders, despite the recent outings.

That said, I'm willing to believe/accept that the same qualities that make someone think they should be CEO or a power-investor, and not a lowly peon worker, translates into a higher likelihood of douchebaggery.

Writing an application in React using Redux for state management
If you're using angular, you're almost certainly using Typescript which contains this less extreme version of the same sort of patent clause:

3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

As I understand it, Angular in general doesn't contain a patent grant at all. Believing that that is superior to a grant that is removed in certain circumstances requires some contentious legal argument that as far as I know has not been demonstrated to stand up in court.
