I get your point here. It's important not to hold back and to be "honest". Being nice doesn't make the work better.

I have met some people who take this as a license to not think as hard about how to formulate their feedback. So it comes out as harsh and personal, even if the kernel of feedback is valuable.

Almost every "angry" feedback I've seen on the internet could have been rewritten to simply be good feedback. If you have the time to write and rewrite feedback, you can probably clean up arguments much faster. Taking a chill pill if you will.

This is harder to do in face-to-face conversations, though.
I bet that Mission residents would complain if they didn't get any bicycle stations. "Why are these only in rich neighborhoods? Why are the poor excluded? Poor people need these!"

It's a classic Bay Area story. Any kind of change is met with backlash from somewhere. No place does self-righteous entitlement quite like the Bay Area.

By their nature there really isn't much one-off stuff to be done. We've got the kids on Supervised (local-ish) accounts which lets us monitor their browsing habits and enforce SafeSearch but that's about it.

The reasoning was hammering it down to everybody's throats by Redhat. It is easier to adapt to proposed solution (even inferior) where there are some guarantees of support and traction, than to reinvent everything and be left as sole maintainers.

It doesn't relate in any way to the quality of the solution.
I used Scrivener for one non-fiction book I wrote that was very chapter-centric. (i.e. it was a compilation of quasi-independent pieces organized around broad themes). I really liked the flexibility it gave me to reorganize and include fragments of thoughts.

On the downside, once you get past a certain point and get into editing and collaboration, you pretty much have to throw all that away and switch tools.
Agree. I think we're all Stringly-typed developers. We use strings everywhere. We throw strings across system boundaries at will.
Fuel ends up being about $50 an hour (depending on the price of fuel, but most C172 trainers burn close to 11 gal/h). While an electric trainer would save almost all of that money in fuel costs, most FBOs don't pay for a _new_ C172 they but one of the thousands of used ones. Buying a new electric trainer would be quite a bit more expensive than a used C172 and I'm sure that would change their rental rates for the aircraft. I think it's likely to offset the cost savings you'd get otherwise. Then again, maybe with the additional reduction in maintenance costs it might end up a bit cheaper to fly.
> If you checked your blind spot every time like you ought to, the blind spot detection is at best a minor additional safety

This is not true. On some freeways in my country, idiots have a habit of driving 2x the speed limit. Checking your blindspot at the time you started the maneuver is no guauantee it will still be empty a half a second later. The blind spot detector is pretty helpful IMO.

Btw .. I don't understand what perfect world some people live in. Do you live in a world where programmers write bug free code every single time like they have been taught?
I've yet to identify a core contributor to this project that has done anything of significance with Node.js. Is there a major player here, or is this just a publicity stunt?
There won't be any attacking of members because there won't be any members. There also won't be any contribution, because these people aren't technical. They want to put "community over tech" in a technical project.

The only fund I trust to manage any of my assets currently is FSI(futures strategies inc). It's a private fund that accepts outsiders if a member introduces them and they meet capital requirements. They are very quick at reversing their position, sometimes dozens of times per day. Fees are a flat 2% of managed capital, taken quarterly. I've been with them for the better part of a year, and so far(knock on wood?) there have been 0 losing weeks since I joined.

That said, the majority of my capital is traded by me. It's all in the futures market, specifically US debt instruments.

Respectfully: what the...? The title in the title office (or whatever else they call it) is the official truth. If someone, say, has a right to use the property until their death, that's a note on the title, not a piece of paper on the drawer. If it's not on the title, no one cares about your business or family agreement. If you contest the title based on such an agreement in a court of law you will always lose, in the most literal sense of the word, the title is all there is.

While I am sure that dishonest reporting does go on in some cases, a possible explanation for that phenomenon is that many services have to scale the budget not only by inflation but also by population. For example, the health service might have a fixed cost per person and so their overall budget growth could be inflation+population growth
This is called the Droste Effect.

I'm assuming that people making those decisions are as smart as me, and if I can think about it, I'm sure they thought about it.

I never base my arguments solely on "other people are making mistakes".

That's before we get into the issue of trying to serve both a mass market and a niche at the same time. It doesn't work. Google should not try to serve the several thousands or few million users who want a fully-featured, paid product for personal use.
The actual reasoning was "we need to get something to make desktop guys happy. Something is better than nothing. Dbus is something". And it is a valid reasoning, right. However, it left some legacy and can now be rethought.

Agreed. It's really important to understand that the core of the frustration for those affected by the gentrification is the lack of control and the lack of influence they have over where they live. This piles up fast and even with beneficial changes that likely everyone can participate in, doing it without the input of the people actually living there just adds to the idea that they have no control over their lives.

I mean, look at upset people on HN get over user tracking (see recent Firefox analytics uproar) or any other change in software that is forced on users - with software there's a choice to not use and often a choice for another. With Urban development, typically once done it's hard to change or revert changes.

The residents want more control and input over their neighborhoods and lives, not corporations deciding for them. I would think this position is not unreasonable, even if it results in unreasonable actions. Understanding where these reactions come from helps move the discussion to a more amicable place. Does that mean scaling back gentrification efforts while trust is built up? Yes, but that's how relationships work; you have to build a trust foundation.

> in order to deter "more fucking billionaires from moving into their high rises"

They're most probably fighting a losing battle. The only thing that can now stop the NYC real-estate bubble from inflating even further would be a severe financial crisis, in which case your friends' neighborhood gentrification will be the last of their problems.

I guess SJWs can't stand it when it is pointed out that their ableist behaviour is at odds with their professed beliefs. Do they pause, reflect on their behaviour, and mend their ways? No, they throw their toys out of the pram.

In a way this is a good thing. Now that there's an SJW fork of node.js, this will be a concrete test of whether SJW-inspired CoCs help or hinder development on open source projects. If Ayo does better than Node, it's evidence in the SXJs' favour. Likewise the opposite.

> If you see collection.map(...) you know that each iteration is simply a pure function from original element to transformed element, which is an immense help when reading the code.

You'd think so, but I've had colleagues who managed to fuck that up and use map or list comprehension solely for side-effects.

By a "known MRA" which apparently completely invalidates all the arguments and turns it into "hot garbage" and will keep someone who doesn't contribute to Node.JS currently from contributing in the future because "problematic individuals" need to be "removed", even though the board voted not to remove him. Mostly because nothing he has done is objectionable to anyone with any sense of what actual offensive conduct is.

From his wikipedia page:

Geoffrey F. Miller (born 1965 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American evolutionary psychologist, serving as an associate professor of psychology at the University of New Mexico and known for his expertise in sexual selection in human evolution, and for his views on the evolution through sexual selection of the human brain as sexual ornamentation.
Just FYI, they ran this example over some built in reflection APIs. Hard to write code designed to get methods by string name without strings...
The issue is that people have apparently on many occasions said "Hey Rod, don't do that, it's against the CoC (code of conduct)" and his attitude has been "I don't care about the CoC, I don't believe in CoCs, and I'm important enough that you can't touch me."

The accusations would carry more weight if they were accompanied by links to examples of their behavior. At the moment, it reads like you're quoting him even though he probably didn't say that.
"Efficient at what?"

Efficient in terms of resource usage, which is exactly how the comment I replied to was using it.

"but is that a matter of fundamental human needs, or something more like fashion?"

Oof, I'm so very happy you shared this with me. Looks like I'm rebranding!
The more I code, the more I appreciate projects and languages that are not based on a democratic committee and have a consistent unique single minded vision.

I'd rather stick to a language/framework that aligns with my own preferences, than stick to one that tries to please to a large group of people.

I feel this is the major problem with Javascript, Node, etc.
What is the "most restrictive" form? The answer to this question is highly context dependent (for example, programming language / architectural framework) and expensive to give. Remember that everything has a cost. And especially overzealous formalism.

Personally I find simple C index-based for loops consistent and refreshing. And it's typically not a huge deal. If it is, the procedure might be doing too many things at once. (But yes, I use simple "for x in y" style loops in Python or C++ when they make the lion's share of the loops).

Many different types of loops in a single file, over a single datastructure, always remind me of odd syntax highlighting (for example in vim) in so many different colors that it's only a distraction. I don't care to make so many distinctions. I try to focus on the distinctions that we have to make to get a program done.
The worst thing you can do is try and time the market. You're young, think long term.

If you wait, what will mostly likely happen is you'll jump in after 80% of the recovery happens.

Far better to invest now, hold steady through the downturn and be in the market when it goes back up.
Good catch! Thanks for the correction.
Resigning committee positions at Node.js and forking the project is just about the only "non-lazy" option in open source. Like, the closest thing we have to a sit-in is a DDoS and while that might be suitable for Anonymous's hacktivism it's not very suitable for open-source contributors who feel left out at inconsistent application of Codes of Conduct to committee-members versus occasional-contributors.

> People hate change.

Fact.

> People really hate change they didn't choose (irrespective of whether that change is good or bad), because people want to feel in control.

Which is why doing what was done here, i.e. rolling in overnight and changing shit, especially when the direct benefits of that have not even been attempted to be explained to, let alone explained well to the affected community, was probably a shitty idea. And the backlash was utterly predictable.

Considering that these people are paying taxes (even if they get it all back at the end of the year, optically, they are "paying taxes" because they lose a good chunk of their paycheck that they could probably really use) I don't think having a say as to what and how public services are created and executed in their community is such a terrible thing. I'd say that is a fairly rational desire.

> But I very much disagree that the subsequent reaction was rational or thought out based on a cost-benefit analysis.

I have a hard time recollecting any situation where vandalism is a rational, thought out reaction to anything. Nor did I say it was.

The weight of the electric motors is definitely a lot less, but what most people don't think about is that the main weight of an electric airplane is in the batteries. The battery pack in a Tesla Model S is ~1300 lbs. The batteries required for an aircraft to have an hour long flight time still add too much weight. Batteries have gotten light enough to make it feasible, but we still need major advances in energy density to make electric airplanes make a lot of sense.

I really appreciate your response; you're correct. I was wrong to offer the ideal I did. I had hoped to posit that taxation is often abused, used as a tool to accomplish something other than to generally fund the government or improve society; as a control over the people.

My argument wasn't sound - I'm glad you provided historically accurate facts that were both enjoyable and informative!

Yes but it is damn hard to tell someone that a book has fundamental flaws. A big part of editorial is also emotional support and faith. So the editor must have dug very deep to be able to actually tell him you have to go back to the foundations. It would have been much much easier to say "it needs this or that series of changes" hoping it would be enough and avoid the more emotionally difficult task of saying "this does not work at all in its current form".

So it may help to have an inner asshole when doing this.

I have never seen a more grandiose, idealized view used to describe the modern job market than this blurb. Even in our very hirable field in tech we see a market rife with inefficiency.

I almost spit out my coffee reading "ubiquitous access" and then had to stifle a laugh at "passive recruitment".

But as I said, everybody has an opinion on "savings vs spending" (just look at the responses to my original comment), and it's such a clear classification that at that end of the day you can divide every individual on one or the other side of this debate.

Savings vs Spending is actually more accurately defined under "Say's Law". Whether you believe Say's law to be true or not. Keep in mind, pro-spending side defines Say's law different than pro-savings side (it's like pro-choice vs pro-life).

The economic ideas which fall under "Savings drives the economic growth" are:

Free Market policies, deregulation, privatization, reduced govt spending, (most) Republican/Conservative economic policies, anti-war, lower taxation, global trade, anti-protectionism, "Work and jobs will always exist".

The economic ideas which fall under "Spending drives the economic growth" are:

Increased govt spending (includes war spending), regulated markets, nationalized industries, UBI, Welfare, "machines will do everything one day", higher taxation, (most) Democratic/Liberal economic policies, higher spending on education, universal healthcare, infrastructure spending.

Funniest part about economics is that if you try to look at "evidence" then you'd find both the side being able to present the same events as an evidence of their theory being right. New Deal is simultaneously an example of how govt spending got us out of recession and how it dragged the recession to 10+ years.

Yup the biggest social change in my generation (I'm 60 soon) was women going out to work. Mysteriously, having two wage earners per family has not actually increased apparent wealth. In fact it has decreased.

In UK housing has become much more expensive as a proportion of earnings, and wage rates seem to have declined in real terms.
The better Python market isn't an easy one to crack because its a bit crowded. Go (despite its perceived and real faults) has succeeded in this space by delivering better GC, good libraries, static typing and faster programs. Python itself is improving rapidly, for example with the addition of Type Hints. Its pretty difficult to be a better Python in 2017.

The better C market, on the other hand, hasn't seen any real contender other than C++ gain traction for decades. Rust is trying now and it could get there, but its still a massive opportunity.
