I totally get that there are non-cost reasons, like being able to rapidly expand. I was addressing just the "cost per person" angle. (I basically worked in that scenario before. We started with our own offices, then as we grew we reconfigured to space into large rooms with 4-6 cubes. It worked okay, especially because starting with individual offices enforced a "quiet" culture.)
Something doesn't add up.... when my co-worker or manager makes sexist or racial jokes, my experience tells me that a) the immediate issue to be solved is not the sexism or racial discrimination in my line of business, but this specific person. The only solution -- this person needs to be replaced, not taught to behave (let alone persuaded to change views), and that b) his/hers personal issues very probably don't stop at women and minorities.

But I understand that we have this whole lot of discussions recently simply because, there are too many of such types kind of accumulated in one place, which makes replacing them all even less probable.

So how the industry believes this can be successfully addressed at this scale? I'd think the behaviour of people on the plane she described is simply about basic human decency? So, everything now needs to be codified by HR? "Don't speak of pornstars when on the plane with other people", "Don't bring into conversation how you tortured small animals when a kid"?
Sure, but to the employer the primary benefit of this is that people don't get stuck in problems that they can normally tackle with relative ease; the main effect (to the employer) is the fact that they're much more productive, not that they're a bit more happier.

Wow, that is very cool.

Some feedback/ideas:

1) things like xrp_usd need more decimal places for price (Max price 0.16, Min price 0.15, you really need at least 4 decimal places.)

2) What you call "Amount" should really be called "Volume".. "Count orders" should be "Count Trades" or perhaps just "Trades".

3) The buy/sell graph: i would place the buy/sell bars beside each other (instead of having sell underneath pointing down). This would make it much easier to see which is higher, buy or sell.

"Young people like different things to old people."

Get over it.
> While millennials like to workout, they're ditching gyms in favor of boutique, class-centric centers.
"Millennials don't want to be tied down," Megan Smyth, the CEO of FitReserve, a service that lets members book boutique studio classes, told the New York Post. "It's a spontaneous demographic."

Ditching 24 hour gyms where you can go whenever you feel like in exchange for booking classes is "spontaneous"???
You're welcome, America. Will anyone really miss Buffalo Wild Wings? Or Golf? I suspect we drink just as much beer, it's just more craft beer than Sam Adams or Corona.

The 'Millennials don't like breasts' angle is a new take. I'd figured that one was a constant.
Marijuana still can't be legally sold in the US under federal law afaik. So that behavior is consistent with Lutke's stated philosophy.

I'm not sure why they block the adult industry. Perhaps extremely high rates of credit card fraud?
I think this is a good analogy.

To complement it a bit. There's the problem of bootstrapping. Once all that new city infrastructure and beautiful planning is complete, who wants to move into that new city that has no markets, stores, bars, restaurants, etc?

Desktop is full of old cruft because people use old crufty software today. They must be able to continue to use old crufty software because they need to until a better alternative exists, but they use multiple old crufty software and better alternatives come slowly.

Desktop builds the new city adjacent to the old one and makes the grass greener there, but it takes quite a while for the old city to get empty.
It's a cheap way to play with clusters while still using pretty common hardware and operating system choices. In addition the pi is small, the hardware is pretty simple and available, and it has enough flexibility for any basic project.

In terms of any performance benefit? No.
sure, that was my point about the problem being parallel or not. Of course the program make use of it and be multithreaded and cpu-bound or not. That was not the point. The OP talked about "developing in multi-threaded languages", which is 1) about new developments 2) about language being multithreaded or not. I believe we both say it shouldn't be a problem of language as in 2017.
The author is making assumptions about what Open Source is and what should or shouldn't be. While many developers would like Open Source to be about "creating communities to build better software together" (myself included), open source just means that everyone can read the code.

Different developers and companies might use Open Source for different reason, included but not limited to: reduce Q&A, brand relevance, increase hiring power, strategic positioning, ideals that code should be _libre_, etc. Some companies and devs might even want several of those!

In this line, Facebook is a private corporation who I think we all agree their main reason for releasing React.js or any code at all doesn't seem to be purely idealistic. I would say strategic position (the best tool in the dev world, notably against Angular) and increasing their hiring power are really high within their reasons to release Open Source.

It is patently absurd to tell companies what to do and patronizing to tell developers what to do. Also, something that I don't see anyone arguing for/against is why so many big companies, even ones competing with Facebook, can use React.js freely and without worries? It's a point that anyone arguing against React is conveniently ignoring but I'd love to hear about.

In a meritocracy, sure...
Any type of job with even the least amount of authority - however insignificant it ultimately is as long as they can assert it without recourse - attracts the worst type of people. I call it the 'nightclub bouncer syndrome'.

Then again VC is a 'retail' style job and any job where you are continually put into forced social situations can make you cynical and impatient with people. So there's also that side of the equation.

Thirdly, it's also a type of job where you're surrounded by 'yes men' trying to suck up to you. You never get the type of negative feedback loops about your behaviour that you normally would/should. American bigco CEOs and celebrities are notorious for having this problem.

I think this article demonstrates the 80/20 principle: Just having a technology on the marketplace is 20% of the way there. The other 80% is solving small, but critical problems, needed prior to adoption.

Dev-Oops: Why DevOps Efforts Fail – SD Times
So let's summarize the facts:

1. neither of us are scholars in these fields,

2. without detailed scholarly knowledge, it's too easy to be mislead by flawed studies, or to improperly generalize the results

3. as a proxy for scholarly knowledge, most people operate on the evidence of a consensus among scholars for any given position; such a consensus is easily produced for any topic for which such a consensus exists

4. you've claimed such a broad consensus on these topics

5. I've asked for evidence of this consensus

6. you respond that I should read thousands of papers on the topic, effectively becoming a scholar in the field, thus defeating the entire use of consensus as proxy

7. The replies by non-experts and experts, like Sadedin, that I've read, literally attack a straw man of Damore's arguments, or cite no evidence of their own, instead hand waving away their existence (like you).

8. The replies from experts that agree with Damore's empirical claims reinforce that narrative quite well.

What exactly am I supposed to find convincing? I think you should take a step back and review how you and others are approaching this topic, because you're frankly not doing yourself any favours.

You've now written 15 or more replies to a number people who have asked for evidence similar to my request. You could have saved yourself a lot of time and aggravation by either producing verifiable evidence of this consensus, or by acknowledging that such a consensus has no easily verifiable evidence, and so skepticism is perfectly warranted.

I notice that the napkin entry implicitly assumes disposable napkins. Given that it's often said that millennials value authenticity, I wonder if part of that decline can be attributed to cloth napkins, and the cited Washington Post article at least touches on that but doesn't seem to have any data. The beer entry similarly seems to disregard the explosion of popularity in microbrews.

Of course, like most such articles, this is really less about millennials' preferences than it is about our economic situation. For whatever reason, a lot of people seem to think that inflation ended in the 1970s and that we aren't all running out and buying houses because we lack an "ownership culture" or whatever.
I think Millennials realize that they can see boobs any time they want, and don't need to go to a crappy, overpriced restaurant to ogle the topboob of a stressed, exploited, overworked waitress.

Someone with knowledge should bring clarity to all this noise!

My understanding is, if I sue FB for some patents, they can sue me back with any patents they may hold on React. We do not know of any such patents they own. So practically I am no safer if I use preact/vue or even Angular, since they may own some patents that cover those tech.

tldr; Do not sue FB unless you have muscles.

It's a pretty nice service that shows the power and extensibility of Prometheus.
Components with extensibility through inheritance written in a prototype-based language. Having worked with around a dozen component-based systems over the years I'm not particularly enthusiastic.

I think it would be much better for the web if browsers had a sane API for extending behaviors of any tag via attributes. This would make things easily composable and eliminate most problems of traditional component-based systems.

<button does-stuff does-more-stuff></button>

It would be even better if people working on these specs spent some time reading research papers on how a sane component-based system could work. For example: http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~mt/thesis/mt-thesis-Contents.ht... A lot of interesting ideas regarding extensible behaviors and ease of understanding.

Edit: And yes, I'm aware of is="" functionality. It's not exactly what I'm talking about. In fact, if the specs were designed the way I mentioned, there would be no need for making anything special for built-in elements as opposed to the new ones.
Would love to see the parallel article of the 20 or so industries and products that millennials are boosting.
There were a lot of people in the older thread about the patents stuff saying things like "well, are you ever going to sue Facebook?? You don't need to worry about the patents stuff".

But consider this: Facebook do something disastrous, like leak a bunch of private or financial data and it affects you really badly. There's a class action against Facebook. Now you can't join it, because you don't wanna rewrite your app without React to ensure Facebook can't counter sue over a patent that may or may not exist on React.

How to Keep Your Reputation in Check When You Trade
They frame it as "imposition of morality" though the issue is broader than that, i.e. Breitbart's tendency to incitement and spreading disinformation.

Crying "free speech" over issues of incitement or violence is the bread-and-butter of the alt-right, and I'm deeply curious as to why Shopify decided to employ that tactic.

> In a way, my position is an appeal to preserve some of the gray in the world. All solutions necessarily have to come from the middle ground.

This is bankrupt, morally and intellectually.
The only reason googling shows so much confusion is most people don't understand the definitions of routing and switching.

"Layer 2" = switching.
"Layer 3" = routing.
"Layer 3 switch" = a marketing term for an ethernet switch that is also a router, and supports internal routing between VLANs (and related optimizations for this common use case.)

Your "pure layer 3 switch" that only services a single subnet is actually a regular old layer 2 switch.
It doesn't need to be aware of "layer 3" at all.

Cutting unpopular industries/sites/businesses off from payment processing has been a popular sport of activists behind the scenes since I've been in the industry.
