That doesn't sound like the kind of behavior anyone would want to encourage.

I will say (anecdotally) that the women that I hired as individual technical contributors and promoted to managers were (on average -- with a small sample size) better at adapting to their new responsibilities than the men.

I didn't hear much of the kind of talk you are talking about -- but I discouraged employee fraternization of that type -- and maybe I was wrong to do so. (This was a while back - maybe norms have changed?)

A few bugs don't really make Safari the new IE. There will always be bugs and differences with rendering engines, that is the price of competition. However IE was a completely different class of shit sandwich that inflicted horror onto all devs who had to work with it.

It seems as though we are getting closer and closer to having feasible rooftop mesh networks, where one house gets a fiber drop, and splits the bandwitdth with N neighbors.

I'd love to know what a feasible value is for N, assuming 10's of MBit average throughput per house (so a few 4K netflix streams at night, once that's a common thing), and sub 100ms RTTs (absymal, because this is for early adopters anyway).

The "Sanders is soviet" propaganda was very widely spread when he was giving her a hard time. Sanders going to USSR for honeymoon decades earlier was the "basis" for that

Hillary is scum. And honestly, when I want to feel less bad about the Trump presidency, I remind myself that it's at least not Hillary. I wish Sanders had attacked her hard during the primaries. He would have beaten Trump afterwards

Her name should be Hillary not-my-fault Clinton.

Because it's a private system, and it's at least theoretically voluntary. Nobody forces you to get credit cards or borrow money.

Credit cards are immensely convenient. I hardly ever carry cash anymore. I buy everything from coffee to lunch to groceries to gasoline using credit cards, and pay the balance every month. If I had to make arrangements to always carry cash to cover those sorts of expenses, it would be frustrating.

I wish there was a more modern version of Programming Windows by Charles Petzold that I could recommend for its great, down to Earth introduction to Win32, but unfortunately the fifth edition from 1998 was the last of its kind.

If you're OK with the dated context it's still applicable to modern Win32. You can find it used.

What was distinctively git-like about it that makes that connection more meaningful than "it was a version control system"?

That is, what made it Smalltalk's git, and not, say, Smalltalk's CVS or ClearCase? The linked-to page suggests that ENVY used a centralized system. (Eg, "The Git model is better for distributed development" and "it had a small process that ran on a server to manage record locking".)

Consider also some of the limitations in ENVY. "You would bring your changes to the machine in the form of (IIRC) a list of RCS-like versions of individual methods, then review and merge them with latest." and "What wasn’t available, was automatic merging".

I agree completely. The only reason for this company to exist is to maintain the data that now is compromised. This company needs to be brought down as quickly as possible for everyone's safety, and the other two companies need to be seriously monitored.
None of these problems are unique to web development. How do you solve these problems in iOS? In iOS you use MVC, and the Application object holds the state as a tree. MVC has a better solution to all these problems.
Thanks. Fixed typos
meh, desktop Safari is actually a very good browser. It is the fastest of all browsers in macos for a bunch of operations and their support for ES6 features beats all the other browsers (99% in https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/ ).

Also one could argue that if Apple did not invest so much in WebKit then chrome would have had a harder time achieving its current usage and would probably be a very different browser than what it is today.

Because it's fast. Nightly 57 is very very fast.

this seems like goalpost moving. first you said 'we as a society', yet there isn't much 'we' in this. it doesn't seem to me that people (the general public) are properly aware at just how vulnerable they are. they haven't therefore 'decided' that this is okay.

> "How do you setup the rest of dependencies configuration ? How do you know that there are no hidden dependencies ?"

Each dependency has its own build configuration file. You build a tree of dependencies and start compilation from the lowest level (i.e. the build objects without any non-compiled dependencies).

With such an approach, why would you have a hidden dependency?

> "How do you handle time ?"

What do you mean by this?

> "How do you ensure that it can be reproduce ?"

Semantic version control on the dependencies.

> "How do you define the dependencies ?"

Is this a hard problem?

> "How do you make sure that nothing change the build paths ? The deps paths ? That your environment is exactly the one you want ?"

By testing during the build process. In the case of the environment, it's just a question of checking against a list of expected environment settings (e.g. OS version, processor architecture, processor features, etc...).

> "That you dynamicly link to the correct lib ?"

This comes down to version control.

> "Also how do you clean behind yourself ?"

Again, is this a hard problem? Even the simplest of makefiles can describe how to handle this.

Perhaps it's best to give a concrete example of a task which is hard for a build system to manage, because I'm still not seeing the complexity here.

Yeah, but many people would choose not to pursue a business that sells out a large numbers of people on ethical grounds. That doesn't even get into his corporate backstabbing and other acts.

Simply because he can exploit a large quantity of rubes to make money doesn't change the fact its not exactly an ethically sound choice.

> I do not know him personally, to answer your question, but it does appear to me that the rather superficial ramblings he offers in articles and blog posts and interviews are at least skewed to the idea that he can do some good in the world, even if his idea of good is perhaps different than yours.

Every "liberal" CEO does that and tries to make themselves sound generous and empathetic. It is good for their income, it is good for their corporate image, and its good for the professional prospects.

Even his charitable acts are largely grandiose tossing of money that frequently fails due to a lack of even basic research. He doesn't genuinely care and its pretty damn obvious when people who donate a couple grand put more effort into researching how well its used than he researched pretty much any of his charitable attempts.

Facebook is a company that _badly_ needs public good will to remain in operation because if people lose faith they'll abandon the network.

I genuinely do not understand how people fail to realize these sorts of things are a combination of ego, self-interest, and political leanings rather than genuine desire. If they were genuine desire, he would have retired from running Facebook like Bill Gates and focused on charity.

Whenever his other merits or demerits Zuckerberg seems to have very little mass charisma (i.e. the ability to fire up a crowd or inspire people over tv).

Look at some recent matchups and think about who had more mass charisma:

Clinton v Trump

Obama v Romney

GWB v Kerry

GWB v Gore

Clinton v Dole

Does it make any sense at all for a party to nominate a candidate with poor mass charisma?
The department of justice should break them. This is their job.

But this is a government with a grifter at the top, so I have almost no confidence attorney general Sessions will investigate this seriously, let alone destroy the company. He very clearly enjoys targeting e.g. black people who smoke weed with incarceration, destroying their lives, than punishing Equifax's officers, board, or shareholders with destruction.

I have more confidence in a handful of state attorneys general working on this effort.

> Just because you don't think of him as a politician doesn't mean that he won't do a good job.

This is a really silly argument. Zuckerberg is not a bad candidate because it is hard to imagine him as a politician. He is a bad candidate because we can see the impact of Zuckerberg's attitude toward the general population in the way he manages the Facebook platform. That is not a society anyone wants.
Show HN: Coalesce – Where Research Lives (AMA and Comments)
Disagreed completely. In my view it is enough for a platform to comply with legitimate requests for information from LE and have a team that handles user-generated reports of illegal/rule breaking activity that occurs on the platform. Anything more is placing an undue burden on these companies and either making some technologies dangerous to use/invest in (bitcoin can be used to sell drugs) or barring small companies from particular business opportunities because they would require too much monitoring overhead.

Let's trust the laws that already exist to handle things that have been illegal for a long time.
Part of living in a society is recognizing that you still belong to it even when it makes decisions you don't agree with.

To more directly answer your question, though, consider a regime of general commercial liability for security incidents caused by failures of engineering (which Equifax is an example of). What would it be like to bring new products to market under such a regime? How much more difficult would it be to enter the field? How much more difficult to hire qualified people? What would that do to the prices of things made possible largely through software engineering work? When the prices of things increase, they're put out of reach of more consumers; markets constrict. What does that do for employment? What does reduced employment in a sector do to wages?

I'm not saying this to justify insecurity. I'm ambivalent about the tradeoffs our society has made on these issues. I just don't think we tend to grapple with them honestly on HN.

I can understand your disdain for the Democratic party. I share it.

However, if I may offer up some counter points on Sanders specifically.

First, let's be clear that the republican party does not have the interest of the working man at heart either. Let's not forget that the first actions of almost any republican candidate in recent times almost always involve tax cuts for higher income brackets and budget cuts on education, infrastructure, health care, and environmental programs. These budget cuts adversely effect the working class.

Second, Sanders wasn't really aligned with the democratic party. In fact, the system was purposefully rigged against him. This isn't a conspiracy theory. Many high ranking officials of the DNC have admitted to it.

Third, Sanders was the working class' best hope. He was in favor of raising taxes in all brackets in order to raise money for public works programs, universal healthcare and no-cost tuition for higher education. As you might imagine, these platforms definitely rustled some feathers. Not only was his platform based around dismantling the racketeering industries that are higher education and medical insurance, his platform also seemed somewhat gasp socialist. Socialism is a dirty word in the U.S. no doubt because of the cold war. However, these programs were shown to be successful in other nations in Europe and also in Canada.

Fourth, Sanders was the most honest and squeaky clean candidate that has ever run for the office. He legitimately believed in his ideas, he wasn't in the pockets of large corporations, he had a voting record consistent with his platform, and there is historical evidence of him supporting strikes and equality protests.

All I'm asking is that you understand that Sanders wasn't a Dem candidate. He wasn't running on party platforms. He was purposefully ousted by the party because they knew he wouldn't listen to them and their corporate backers. Sanders used the Dem as a way to gain legitimacy. He really had no choice considering that most people in the U.S. consider third party candidates to be a joke.
Every generation is galvanized by serious injustices. But, it feels like we're far less effective at turning that anger into change; though maybe that's always how it feels at the time.

I'm almost sure I once saw a quote from Bill Clinton's press secretary that said something like "We knew that if we could survive the first 5 days of a bad story, it would get dropped."

That perspective solidified for me during the Occupy Movement. Granted, it lasted much longer than 5 days, but ultimately, what of it? The FBI didn't investigate the bankers, it investigated the protesters.

You see it with Flint. You see it with Climate Change.

I've always been politically apathetic. Moreso as a foreigner where I recognize that living in a foreign country is a privilege, not a right. Plus I'm a cynical person (not a healthy habit). Which means that whenever I hear about "boycotts", or "writing to your representative", or "held criminally responsible", or "..." I always think two things. First, that people are naïve, and second, what's it going to take to drive people to take un-ignorable action?

Given the fact that every other week some company gets hacked and leaks data on customers they shouldn't have been keeping in the first place, I'm looking forward to some court precedent being set. I don't know why the Equifax leak is getting all the attention and hate when https://haveibeenpwned.com/ discloses a major hack constantly, but it'd be great if companies were held financially responsible for security carelessness and improper disclosure.
Zuckerberg is only hyping running so he looks more important to the Chinese government so he can get more leverage for getting Facebook into China. He's doing this because rolling over by creating backdoors and censorship tools to appease the Chinese Gov was apparently not enough. It's a scummy move but given our current president ......

Guix does not overcomplicate things. For example, it uses derivations exactly like those of Nix. (That's the extent to which Guix "takes heavy inspiration from" Nix: it uses the Nix daemon and thus the same derivation format.)

G-expressions are used to generate build-side code without having to resort to ad-hoc string interpolation in a target language like Bash. Ideally, this could be done simply with quoted S-expressions, but the paper explains why S-expressions are a little too primitive to use them conveniently in this case.

The gain here is that there is only one language and one set of rules for everything, namely Scheme. In Nix there is the Nix language and a mix of build-side languages (e.g. shell), where host-side values are embedded in build scripts through string interpolation.

There's work underway to extend the reach of Scheme to the daemon itself.
Can Zuck rise people up like Trump and Obama did? I doubt he could give a politics/"vote for me" speech without half the people falling asleep.

except it's not, it's as natural as a market bubble or a monopoly, look at higher education literally anywhere else, it isn't that expensive. The problem with the market of college is similar to that of medicine, people will pay anything for it because they believe they need it no matter what.

Then systems of governance are utterly broken and management should step in to enforce remedial actions, ASAP.

Trump won because Hillary and the DNC in general is full of corrupt crooks.

As a non-american I honestly can't tell democrats and republicans apart when it comes to corruption. For me trump's win was because he was the only candidate left who promised a genuine change. The thing americans seem to want most of all is a real change away from the traditional washington politics, with it being almost irrelevant whether that change comes from the left or the right. It's why both obama and trump could sway the same electorate, despite having no politics in common.
Mine are a little simpler: It's "good enough," and seems good for the open web and open source.
