I don't see how this would work for command line tools (there are other applications where an extreme version wouldn't work, but for command line tools I really don't see a good workaround except giving broad permissions).
Shaming people doesn't change their behaviors, it just hurts them and makes them hostile to you. It's always counterproductive. If you want vengeance for something there are more satisfying ways to hurt someone, if you want to cause change shame is the wrong way to go about it.
I'm not saying it's nefarious, I'm just saying they're desperate to show as large a market share as they can claim to. I used to work at Microsoft on MSN and helping Bing boost its numbers by all means necessary was job #1 by the time I left. Some of the means were not quite kosher.
Why is AGPL toxic? I'd advise all developers to do dual AGPL/commercial license for all their open source projects. AGPL would guarantee that their work is not used by others without giving back anything; commercial one to keep them afloat and allow proper business.
I don't think he's saying it's supposed to help the people being laughed at - it's supposed to help the reader, by de-normalizing and shaming fatness, so they are motivated to become or stay thin. The target is collateral damage.

I don't really buy it, it's transparently a post-hoc rationalization for a sub engaging in the age-old business of being nasty to low status people because it makes us feel good and superior.

Maybe you're a bit confused about political ideologies. Check https://www.politicalcompass.org/test
There are 3 types of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. The short answer is that they probably aren't. There are a million ways Bing could slice this data to make them appear to have more market share than they have. I imagine Google has a completely different take on Bing's market share, it will be interesting to see if they refute the number.

TFA mentions Groovy but not JavaScript which could be considered Java's direct dynamic/scripting variant given JavaScript's origin. In fact, there are two mainstream implementations of it even (rhino, nashorn), though not upgraded to ES2015.

No, but if we're being honest, it's exactly what everyone wants it to be. A bytecode for the web.
Sure they have lawyers, but I highly doubt they reviewed it and I don't blame them since open source licenses have been pretty vanilla for over a decade now. The only companies that actually even really reviewed open source in terms of legal implications were extremely risk averse ones like the telecoms... in the 90s and early 2000s. Of course I could be wrong especially if any of those companies use a tool that checks licenses (I have my doubts).
>The same as that of most researchers: that his conclusions are scientifically problematic

So scientific conclusions i don't like are now "problematic"
You're only partially correct.

1 ) Its true that there aren't enough quantitative oriented students, and the ones we get really suck. Aka, I searched some text and now I'm co-author!

2) A lot of these directions have really low potential because they are mainly putting spin on otherwise failed or inconclusive work. p-hacker is a pejorative. From personal while simulating a development biology model might be computationally challenging (although often not), the models I've seen seem to be flawed somewhere in their conceptual design as they lack underlying mechanics or a null hypotheses. But after you've spent a few years hanging around doing little work for little pay, you really gotta get this stuff published

tldr; computational people rare add anything of value compared to the holistic (not individual) contributions who actually do the work.
Linear algebra – software issues
In my hardcore gaming days using a fantastic Hitachi CRT monitor I did some basic experiments with refresh rates.

My subjective results were somewhere in between the values you have as an example. I stopped noticing significant difference somewhere north of 160Hz, and at 200Hz they were barely perceptible.

Very interesting to hear that someone has actually been measuring this in a more controlled way than I did some 18 years ago.

It's also quite interesting how reluctant people are to even acknowledge the existence of something they themselves haven't noticed. Almost everyone refuted my eye witness account simply because they had read/heard that they eye can only notice <some number between 20-60> frames per secobd, and thus I couldn't possibly see any difference in motion above that threshold.
He also doesn't mention BeanShell, which there's no excuse for forgetting, considering it was a direct competitor for Groovy, or JRuby/Jython/Rhino, which could be excused for excluding since they're ports of other languages to the JVM.

It is entirely possible Bing's market share is improving because Bing itself has improved.

I really don't know much about wasm.

I just wondered though, from a birds eye view, does using wasm effectively give you control of everything within the "frame" of your browser?

Can I get rid of the DOM(boilerplate aside), get rid of CSS?

For example HTMLCanvasElement is a flat surface. I can do what I want within it as a scene graph renderer.

Could I do that with wasm? Could I invent my own 2D entities (x, y, width, height). My own 2D Constraints resize like Apple Devices etc?
Aw, they put networking in the kernel? Dan Dodge would not have approved.

60KB was just the kernel, not the additional processes that run in user space. The great thing about such a tiny kernel was that it could be fully debugged. The kernel didn't change much from year to year back in QNX 6.

Many embedded systems put the kernel in a boot ROM, so the system came up initially in QNX, without running some boot loader first. You built a boot image with the kernel, the essential "proc" process, and whatever user space drivers you absolutely had to have to get started.

QNX went open source for a while, starting September 2007, and there had been a free version for years. After the RIM acquisition, they went closed source overnight and took all the sources offline before people could copy them. That was the moment when they totally lost the support of the open source community.

It walks the iterables (no need to convert them to lists), but its main trick is actually knowing how much memory it'll need for the end result, so no re-allocations happen, simply a one pass (through multiple iterables) copy.
Then in concrete terms, what do you want?
Thanks for the correction -- I misread the original comment. It was the end of a long day. :)

I agree that kids should not be given refined sugar. I had almost no sugar until I was a teenager. I had my first soda at about age 16 or 17. I consumed sugar as an adult, but eliminated it again about two years ago with great results. Eating refined sugar is irrational behavior -- it has no health benefits and is more like a recreational drug than food.
> No. Things that get banned almost always have significant political content.

If you look at list of banned goods and services, most of them are not politically related, but are related to liability, abuse potential and (probably) payment processor restrictions.

I'm not saying that banning whole classes of goods doesn't have an impact on free speech.

Yet there is still a fundamental difference between having a list of prohibited goods / services and removing a member selling allowed goods and services because you don't like their politics.

The first one is banning the sale of pornographic products on your platform, the second is banning the sale of (otherwise permissible) t-shirts by pornography companies on your platform.

Employee retention rate at top tech companies
> There are certainly many talented people who move away from tech

Let's be honest, most biology majors turned programmers aren't oppressed people who had passion for tech but were discouraged from tech by terrible, systemic biases. They're people who either couldn't make it to med school or didn't want to go to med school who realized that there is more $$$ in the tech field than in biology research.

> It's a bit cynical to say that's done simply in the name of gender.

Not really. In this context, that is exactly what the parent was saying. Again, there are many non-CS majors that give people skills more relevant to programming. There isn't much of a reason to specifically recruit biology majors (other than for demographic reasons or if the company software is related to biology).

Isn't Oracle giving leadership of Java over to the open source community (i.e. to Apache or Elcipse )

As such, what's concerns still exist?

I love Ceylon - it is what Java should have evolved into (had it been managed better).

Java replacement would have to introduce something an order of magnitude better than Java, just like Java did, with respect to C/C++ (for business-level applications).

None of the existing solutions (Kotlin, Scala, etc) are at that level.
He was on certain levels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Madsen_(inventor)
White males are overly represented but I think it's fair. After all the US is white male culture at the higher levels so those who grew up with this culture have an advantage. They are fish while everyone else are forced amphibians. It's natural for advantages to compound.

Change in culture often comes with damage of supplantation of existing cultures. US culture is unique in that is can coexist with other cultures but isn't entirely replaced. At least not the high status portion. The low status portions have been excised. (trump supporters)

To replace high status white male culture there needs to be an equivalent high status opponent. Pao's article I think is useful in that it targets this directly and doesn't just stop at discussions on passing whiteboard interviews for IC2 positions.

It's expected as with any invasion that there is collateral damage. Trump supporters feel impotent and sidelined. These higher level incumbents are a lot more crafty and a lot more powerful. We can't even deal with rascists except defang them and wait for them to die.

This is why high status Chinese/Indian female/male culture doesn't exist in the valley for the most part, at most upper middle culture. There's not enough space at the top and it isn't worth it to start a war. Because in culture wars, home turf always wins. Giving coal power plants unlimited nuclear fuel or tidal plants unlimited sun doesn't tap into the necessary power.

Chinese/Indian high culture taps into society. For people in the valley this source of power is removed. I'd say that US high status white male culture is more standalone and deals with pure power in the ability to manipulate or coerce people. Interestingly this spreads more easily across gender than race though often the new entrants must give up their old culture in many ways.

For males that don't give up their mother culture they can feel marginalized and impotent, feeling that everything is unfair. For those that do they see no imbalance. The gap for women though still exists.

Ask HN: What are downsides of Kubernetes/containers?
I have been reading more about Kubernetes/container management and I see a lot of excitement around the technology on HN.

What I am trying to understand is the downsides of container platforms like Kubernetes:

Are they more or less resource efficient than what you had before?

Are they inefficient at using resources, but make life just so much easier that it's worth it for saving dev time?

Are there many managed solutions (aside Google cloud) or are people deploying this themselves?
...or get replaced with bugged modification by CIA!
Maybe this was labeled a decade+ ago and the ebayer is just some salvager going through a warehouse. There's no way someone would go through that effort today, with neither chip being that expensive.
By working in practice I don't mean "unimplementable or not", I mean the difference between CORBA and gRPC: One can argue endlessly about the benefits of one vs the other, but it's practical experience what's informed the latter of how and why the former sucked.
So, the chip is fake, but how come such chips could work satisfactorily in their place in a PC??

> Sweden does not have socialism

Well, the Swedes think they have their 'nordic model' version of it. Its been governed by the Social Democrats for almost all the last hundred years. Perhaps their definition differs from yours?

> There is less economic regulation of private companies than in the United states

Crikey, poor you folks! Given how startup-hostile Sweden truly is on the ground, its amazing that Silicon Valley can exist at all if its worse over your side of the pond! ;)

Here, very few people can or would start a company, and startups are rare and happen despite the poor investment. I've met some of the founders of the companies that are often cited like skype and I don't think they started in Sweden rather than the states because Sweden is a less regulated economy. Sweden is part of the EU, and the rules are the EU rules which Britain alleges to have found so over-regulated that they had to leave! ;)

Everything you hear on the news is true unless you have some personal experience of it. So it is with the brush Sweden gets tarred with in the US. There's some crazy left-wingers who think Sweden isn't socialist enough (and their idea of collectivism seems to be towards communism, and Sweden isn't communist), but its mostly the right-wingers thinking Sweden is some immigration hellhole. People in Sweden don't recognize the Sweden portrayed on Fox News.

Interestingly, the coverage of the US that you get on the European media seems to be much more truthful and balanced; I know plenty of US citizens, I've visited an awful lot, I've worked for US companies for years, and the general portrayal of the US life in the media over here seems to ring true.

Thanks. I'm already aware of that article. What I meant by some skin in the game is the opposite of what the author included at the end of that article:

"Disclaimer: As with everything in law, I reserve the right to throw every word out like yesterday’s newspaper if presented with new information or a recent decision by a non-caffeinated judge. Hubris and the law make for bad bedfellows. If you have information or arguments that I didn’t consider, make them below! I will update this blog if any new information changes my opinion."
Many people including other journalists before her. I honestly don't think anyone before this incident would think it involves any danger at all. A subway dive with a well educated, white middle aged man who is regularly in the media is not your typical crime scene.
Lecture on How to build a recognition system (Part 1): best practices
This is true. However, I think at the highest levels of autonomy is when people actually get to define what their goals are[0].

That is not to say that it cannot be done remotely. In fact, in most large tech organizations, the highest autonomy positions will almost certainly entail a lot of remote collaboration (with customers, sales, suppliers, support, remote engineering teams, etc.). However, the more autonomy one is granted, the more context one needs to make the correct decisions. Context requires access to high-signal information sources (i.e. relationships with the right people). Being in the office is a good way to discover those information sources.

You also have to make yourself highly visible. You can certainly do that while being remote, but there is more conscious effort involved.

Ditto for asking Siri anything that she cannot handle via specialized search conduits (weather, sports scores, etc.). Anything else ends up as a web search powered by Bing, and its tallied even if it was useless and unused.

This often happens to me when I'm exploring the edges of what Siri can do (which is much less than Alexa or Google's assistant). It also happens when Siri mis-hears me and can't properly route the search query to weather, sports, or whatever handler would have been appropriate.

And note that while it is possible to change Safari's default search engine, it is not possible to make these Siri searches run on anything other than Bing. I'm sure Apple is being paid handsomely (and keeping some valuable data out of Google's hands).
While I appreciate your point of view, I do think there are more differences between men and women than there are between the various "races" of humans.

That being said as long as a job/role's requirements are appropriate and fair, there should be no reason a senegalese (black) woman, philippino (asian) man, or danish (caucasian) woman can't be a software engineer, soldier, nurse, or nanny.

since when is breitbart equivalent to hate speech? has anyone here even read it? I have, and it looks like it's just a bunch of news that would be interesting to conservative types. I see no evidence of "hate speech".

are you sure that this isn't just left wing propaganda trying to reduce the influence of conservatives? don't forget, all of this is just a simple power struggle, and we're the pawns.
It was more likely some salvager cleaning out a warehouse of old crap.

> If you are using aliases you are not using explicit imports.

You are as you have the "import" code line in the code sources. If you get rid of that code line, you make it happen implicitly and this is the case of undesirable "magic" happening.

Some IDEs do support automatic Webpack's aliases resolving, so you can navigate to the module by ctrl+click.

> Then I'm guessing you consider all OOP languages badly designed since none of them have properties for 'methods', 'getters' (computed), etc. Yes?

Don't be silly, we are talking about JS that has a room for adding some structure as it's being too flexible by default.

Anyway thanks for the Youtube link, it helped me to realize that I'm not going to use this Marko thing.
[Lecture] Evolution: From Vanilla RNN to GRU and LSTMs
I've been using play + java 8 for the past two years. Have been quite happy with it. I did php and node.js before, and I can't say I'm missing anything in particular from those ecosystems. Build times could be a tad better, and some aspects could use more documentation, but the code is easy to write and maintain and the app is blazing fast and easy to deploy. I've gotten the same positive feedback from other web devs that joined my team. They all like it.

Wait, your argument is that PC culture has wrecked all rational discourse? In all cases, at every University? I do see cases where what you would refer to as 'PC ideology' has eschewed rational discourse with cleverly disguised emotionally charged discourse. But to say that PC culture has unilaterally reduced the value of college to near zero, is quite a stretch.
I agree on the first 3... and most probably that's why I very strongly disagree on the last part.

The way the languages "match" the environment in the first 3 examples is almost reciprocal to the way the language is a mismatch in the last one... "it just happened".

Also seeing those first 3 environments even listed with the last one somehow does not seem fitting... but is still a nice pictures of current "Zeitgeist" of computing and software development, imo.
