While I'm not the first to start screaming about free speech when these kinds of issues arise, it seems like a stupid reason to fork the codebase again and split the community.

Thanks for picking that one, that means I don't have to choose between it and my joint favourite, the snappily titled "Why Heideggerian AI Failed and how Fixing it would Require making it more Heideggerian".

Where Turing's paper put us on the journey towards AI, 57 years later Dreyfus points out how the direction chosen is not only wrong, but hopelessly misguided.

As I studied the RAND papers and memos, I found to my surprise that, far from replacing philosophy, the pioneers in CS and AI had learned a lot, directly and indirectly from the philosophers. They had taken over Hobbes’ claim that reasoning was calculating, Descartes' mental representations, Leibniz's idea of a "universal characteristic" - a set of primitives in which all knowledge could be expressed, -- Kant’s claim that concepts were rules, Frege's formalization of such rules, and Wittgenstein's postulation of logical atoms in his Tractatus. In short, without realizing it, AI researchers were hard at work turning rationalist philosophy into a research program.

I encourage you to teach a science course for non-majors at a local university that serves minorities. Unless you are intentionally blind the experience will be enlightening. The variation in quality of high schools in the US is astounding and needs to be experienced first-hand.

Where does the talk about genetic variation and unconscious bias even come from? It's not relevant in this context.

"Again"? Node has 7,660 forks and counting:

https://github.com/nodejs/node

It's only notable if any substantial portion of the community forks.

The "previous" fork, Io.js, was key moment for Node. Because that was about fundamental technical questions of choosing between stability versus innovation.

This appears to be yet another tweet-fight about CoC's. I can't imagine the community actually fracturing over this, but if it did then I would be fine with that. Let there be one set of conferences for the Douglas Crockford's of the world to discuss code, and another set of conferences for people to discuss Douglas Crockford.
> Frankly, I'd rather just write 'C' again. If I have to care about the fiddly bits, I'd rather the language not fight back.

Instead, you'd rather the language be written with conscious land mines in it?

Like, I have a history of dunking on JavaScript. (Though, to be fair: ES6+ is better! It's a lot better. I kinda like it.) But C is unsafe as hell. The list of people who should be writing C is super short.

If you're running into memory links in Node, that points to bad native code or handles that are never getting removed. That's not something easier in C, unless you also like buying yourself double frees that you have to worry about. And backpressure is an architectural problem--it doesn't go away in another language, the ephemera of it just makes the problem surface in a different way.

Maybe what you're writing isn't appropriate for Node. Much of what I write isn't--if I start seeing buffers, I start reaching for another ecosystem, usually the JVM. But that's a far cry from a meaningful criticism of Node for what it's good at. Use what's good where it makes sense. Use other things where they make sense. Revisionism to have C make sense, in 2017, when we have modern, clean C++ and Rust both and Go if you really don't actually care about type systems, makes me really skeptical.
Yes because 4/5 of the transactions are revealing a LOT more than they otherwise would, thereby greatly increasing the signal to noise of other analysis techniques.
There are two ways to interpret their funding goals: based on projected cost and based on projected backers. 1.5 million dollars may not be very much money for smartphone development, but it is very ambitious as a crowdfund goal. It basically requires around 2500 backers ($1.5MM / $600) to pay $600 out of pocket for a device that, at best, will be delivered in 18 months.

Given the success path of most hardware kickstarters, I'd be surprised if this fully funded. The price point is relatively high (even though it is a whole phone, I get that, it is just a lot of money). I'd also be surprised if it actually delivered in 18 months. That's basically saying: "we have the design all done and are in our final mass production engineering phase right now". I mean, if you follow any prior hardware kickstarters that include significant production parts (pebble, keyboardio to name just two), the one major lesson is: mass production takes a ton of time and money to get right.
The only benefactors of affirmative action have been white women.
Why can't we prioritize overhauling systematic oppression by calling attention to it and occasionally giving advantages to people who have historically been disadvantaged?

With X11, an exploit in any GUI application can be turned into a privilege escalation vulnerability. On Wayland, to achieve the same, an exploit in a GUI application would need to exploit another application running with higher privileges to escalate.

Not running apps you don't trust is an overly simplistic security model, and completely ignores exploits.

It looks like 4 people left the TSC after the vote failed but only 2 people actually voted to eject Rod [6 against, 2 for and 2 abstains?]. Was there something that prevented people who weren't comfortable with Rod being around from voting for him to leave? Though, too be fair I think some of the people who have left have said it wasn't because of someone in particular but rather because of how the TSC was working (or not working).

Nope. In fact just a couple of months ago I walked into Target and said "I want a dumb TV." After a funny look we found the last Dumb TV: a 50" Element... it ended up costing less than $200. It was the last Dumb TV they had and it was a floor model.
To fix inequality of opportunities one would be well advised to start with the way k-12 schools are funded. It's too late for most disadvantaged students by the time they are old enough to go to college.
Single-threaded isn't a benefit, but in a world where multi-process isn't a problem, a lot of that is blunted. Granted, for problems that are both compute- and IO-heavy, something like the JVM makes much more sense (so just use it--duh, right?). For throwing bytes over a wire, something like Node is really, really easy and really, really effective. My biggest beef with it is the weak libraries for talking to RDBMSes, that's about it; my API tools of choice remain Ruby/Grape/Grape-Swagger because ROM is so much nicer than anything I've seen in Node, but that's really about it.

Like I said upthread, I used to dunk on JavaScript a lot, but it doesn't make sense nearly as much as it used to, to me.

I am sort of troubled by the crowdfund page. It is obviously designed to look like a kickstarter page, but it is in fact not a kickstarter. Say what you will about kickstarter, but I have questions.

Will the campaign charge you even if it doesn't reach its goal? There is no indication one way or the other on this page.

DocGrok is a re-imagined documentation platform that supercharges product teams.

Definitely a gem. I loved their accurate comparison of the common programming paradigms, though I have to admit, that I didn't follow their idea of functional relational programming in detail.
I agree with this. I've seen the same but the core problem is we don't learn from others mistakes: we prefer to rely on our own tool-making skills to demonstrate increased facility while making similar mistakes.

The thing missing in developers that I have decried over and over in this devop/agile movement is that SAs had discipline and an ordered idea and that developers exist to perturb the norm to better effect. The two ideas are not readily reconcilable.

30 seconds is actually a gross overestimate for AE startup. Your description of our problem is very accurate, though. We still need to over-provision just before the spike, which we do with a cron that scales up to several hundred instances 5 minutes before 10pm and then back down to normal levels 5 minutes after. Autoscaling takes care of the rest.

That would seem to only emphasize my point... if you're planning to be a taxi company, it would seem you'd be even more likely to fall afoul of regulations if you don't play by the rules designed to cover taxi companies.

In short: I don't think your comment actually addresses my point.

Again, they're basically silent on this topic in the deck, which might be accidental, but feels like an odd omission. If I read between the lines, it seems like they thought that because they avoid street hails, and because it was pitched as an invite-only service, somehow they puts them outside the existing regulatory structure. In hindsight, it's pretty clear that was at best a very naive assumption.

I think we agree, the question is what is the next step. The common rhetoric we hear is that tuition is increasing because those greedy Universities are charging too much, and spending wastefully. My argument is that that's a false narrative. The amount spent on students is relatively flat, and the staff and faculty at state schools are more efficient and are doing more with less than they were 30 years ago. What we should be doing in response to the increase in tuition is to restore state funding, not attacking the Universities.

Manhattan is expensive because there's only one of it. If the jobs build around the rail lines, you can save a load of money by not needing a car, and split the difference with your employer. And sure, not every job will be able to do this - factories need space. But that's a small portion of our economy at this point, and getting smaller all the time.
