Did you ever consider Elixir?
The entire goal for the fork was to try to convince upstream (antirez) to eventually merge the needed changes for a better experience for Windows users. Just as any other distro doesn't want to long term maintain a fork and prefers to merge changes upstream as much as it possibly can. In the case of redis, the fork didn't entirely meet upstream needs/considerations and the Windows distro didn't have the resources to continue a long term fork.

Microsoft Open Technologies had some successes here too: off the top of my head NodeJS and Git both have gotten much better on Windows as a result of work that Microsoft Open Technologies started in forks and eventually got merged upstream. The NAPI work to support both V8 and ChakraCore continues at a reasonable pace precisely because there is upstream engagement, upstream merging, and NodeJS-ChakraCore is less of a full fork more like a distro-specific build flag.

Plus, the priority on things like Redis for Windows shifted with the Windows Subsystem for Linux; there was less need to get open source projects to treat Windows as a supported distro directly when Windows can piggy back off of Ubuntu (or SUSE or Fedora) distro work.

None of that solves lack of communication about the forks left on the vine, and it is a shame there isn't strong redis support on Windows, but everyone has priorities, including antirez, and even if those priorities aren't communicated fully, they seem to at least be somewhat transparent to this humble developer from the outside of either work.
I love the new MBP keyboard.

I have it connected to an external monitor most of the time, but I relish any chance I get to work away from the office - just for the opportunity to use the built-in keyboard.
Shadergraph: Functional GLSL Linker
Fuel from a tanker is an order of magnitude more expensive. It’s worthwhile for the military since they sometimes have a hard time stopping for fuel in the middle of a mission, and like using planes that prioritize the ability to kill people over the ability to go far, but I don’t think it would make much sense for airliners.
There's also the locality aspect of the problem which is unaddressed. Typically humans resolve ambiguity in a finite namespace. E.g. there are only a few Bob's I know of. If a single human were asked to resolve of a bob without context it would be a hard to resolve problem. I think all naming resolution problem are related to identification on the basis of attributes, and a url in a certain sense is supposed to model enough attributes to help us resolve this. We have modeled systems unlike humans, not with distributed and local information but looking at url resolution using a central brain of sorts.

It is defined and you can do it in C without using floats. On the other hand, even if you do use floats, arbitrary arithmetic is not invertible. In other words a / b * b isn't necessarily a, regardless of what types they are.
This has been possible for years ;-)
I think the value needs to be aligned with the associated network. If there is no network then I think you have increased risk of a token being a security, snake oil, or baseless speculation.

The Token Effect, by Ramon Recuero (http://blog.ycombinator.com/the-token-effect/) does a good job of emphasizing the role of a network and how value is aligned. From the blog post:

"Fairness is defined by rewarding good actors monetarily for contributing value to the network."

"Tokens allow decentralized protocols to capture the value of the network."

"In summary, tokens coordinate efforts in the network and motivate responsible participation."

The hype of ICOs has been focused on tokenizing everything, which doesn't necessarily create value. Going forward, I expect the emphasis to shift from tokenizing everything to creating networks out of everything, and tokenizing those networks. However, I also expect we will require numerous, obvious, practical examples (e.g. failures) before the community refocuses on networks as the source of value and tokens as yet another tool.
Ideally, if it's something important to you, your coworkers should get your attention, or at least communicate the results of their discussion to you.

But I realize that this is supposing two idealized coworkers in a perfect vacuum.

PGConf 2018: Call for papers open
You realize that the justification for the action and the reason behind it need not be the same thing, right? The fact that they are citing a law that was, nearly 100 years ago, concerned with employment, doesn’t mean that is why they are doing this. This is a long term strategic calculation and has nothing to do with a few thousand jobs.
The year and a half or so that I spent in a bullpen style open-office made me feel like I was an inmate in a panopticon style environment. I could constantly feel managements eyes on the back of my head even though I knew it wasn't literally happening. It was miserable, I'm glad that I got away from it and I will hopefully never find my way there again.

Hey, good luck to you. Again, it's nothing personal, and I don't mean to be insulting your choices, I just find it interesting that VC investment is so popular a choice for moneyed tech workers.
Especially Google and Facebook area extremely well positioned to know what is happening. They have a market research machinery never seen in history. If there's a new trendy thing catching up, they can see it coming and they know exactly who is interested. As long as governments don't intervene, they are in quite strong position to just acquire threats (or develop something similar).

Apple has piles of cash, but I think their business is kind of fragile. The valuation is based on being able to create products which sell for very high premium. I don't see them going away, but they might dropped from their top position.

For the Facebook and Google I believe the major risk is some backslash from legislation/privacy. Something like this would not wipe them out, but it might seriously damage the business. For example with Google there could be pressure to separate the search and advertising or to allow other companies to also offer ads on the search platform.
Yes, if you look at it from a C coders point of view. You know exactly what your program is doing (excluding compiler optimizations).

Java is taught a lot, not because it's better. But because once you learn Java, all you know how to do, is teach Java. Python is taught early because it's fun/easy, not because it's the best.

No one teaches ASM first anymore, what did you mean by saying asm is one of the first taught languages. (Maybe in some embedded systems, but generally that's not first, not by any reasonable definition.)
>At this speed the player is reacting (and hitting with correct timing) about ten notes (arrows) per second. This is possible by memorizing and reacting to group patterns instead of individual notes, but more importantly, reacting unconsciously.

You've just described how people play music in general :P the patterns trigger memory and other internal processes (whether it's recalling verbatim or dynamically based on a new pattern from some combination of scales), this escapes the limitation of input output response time because it's all internal with some arbitrary output delay which we account for by "leading" whatever the physical action is (for an exaggeration think about percussion instruments).

If you are at all musical it's fun to do a bit of introspection here... with anything slightly complicated where you do not have time to think about the position of each note (a pretty unnatural way to perform) you will realise that your fingers (or toes in some strange cases), react to a sort of stream of signals internally... it's probably not even a stream but more of a parallel matching against the pattern from which you pick a stream of notes internally because this is right brain stuff.

Disclaimer: i'm not a neuroscientists or musicologists, I just like thinking about the brain and am slightly musical.
Random advice from a random person on the internet, possibly affecting your life decisions ... take this for what it's worth.

You need to decide what you want to accomplish. If things can be changed, would you want this job anyway? If you do want this job (assuming it can be saved/fixed) then what is it that needs to be changed?

Your point 6 nails it - as I see it you need to go to the CEO and say that while your title is "manager", your "team" is actually going to and taking direction from the CEO. As a result, you say, you are unable to do the job.

Now you need to make the decision as to what you want, or you can simply leave it up to them. Choose:

* Say that you require the authority as well as the responsibilities, so your team must only take direction from you, except in exceptional circumstances which must then be confirmed by you;

* Say that since you are not given the authority of a manager then you require that you return to being a member of the team;

* Give them the choice between the above two options, and that whatever is agreed must include written confirmation of the separation of duties.

But you must decide what it is you want to achieve. Yes, it would be a PITA to relocate again, but as it stands you will be miserable, in danger of being "let go" regardless, and have no control. If you do take control of your own destiny, at least you will have some control!

You have the title of manager. That doesn't just mean that you tell your team what to do, it also means that you must manage your relationship with your manager - the CEO. Perhaps even start by saying that you are keen to make a success of your position, you need their assistance and guidance, and that to do your job properly you must be given the authority. To phrase it like that means they demonstrate power by giving you the control you need.

FWIW. As I say, random advice from a random stranger on the internet.
Self discovery is important, it is also self discovery so that makes it unwise to generalize. This statement stuck out though:

"You’ll also need to have something that motivates you more than financial security, which is an immense force."

Granted it is a bit ambiguous (what does 'which is' refer to? your motivation or financial security?) but assuming that it is saying that you need a purpose in life other than accumulating cash then I would agree. I have observed that people who have some goal other than cash, are much more likely to be happier with their life.

I attribute that happiness to the definitive quality of making progress regardless of your remuneration. Versus the challenge of score keeping by how much one is getting paid and observing that there are always people making more or opportunities that pay more. I think that sets up a feedback loop in some people where they are constantly disappointed.

For some it must be like driving down a crowded freeway and only seeing the spaces in the traffic up ahead that they could fit into, being angry at the drivers around them who are preventing them from moving forward into those spaces, and ignoring the progress they are making down the road.

I absolutely hate these. They make laptop keyboards feel even mushier than normal and have the aesthetics of plastic-on-living-room-furniture. The fact that this is now a good idea (a requirement even!) for a premium laptop is unacceptable.

I love Apple, I really do. The magsafe connector sold me on my first Macbook in 2009 and I've been buying Apple laptops ever since. However when the new MacBook Pros were announced the first thing I did was buy a fully specced, refurbished "last gen" Macbook pro because the butterfly keyboard is a bridge too far for me in terms of typing feel. Apparently it's a bridge too far in reliability as well. This might be my last Macbook.

The Art of Disagreement: the world is doing it wrong
Agreed. The constant hey siri is exhausting vs Alexa's approach. Though as others noted Siri was developed for a phone and devices on the go. Echo is a device that is in your home where you don't have to worry about someone saying Alexa unless a family or a friend is named that in which case you can change the word. HomePod will be the first chance for Apple to change that but pretty sure they are going to stick with Hey Siri for consistent and reliability.

At the scale of the sites listed, it probably matters. But those sites have the traffic volume to run A/B tests at statistically relevant scales and have probably run A/B tests against page content to have already picked up lower hanging fruit.

Or to put it another way, the BBC website is much further along the "first make it correct then make it fast" curve than most websites.
In my experience the moment people know that something is CGI they get into some kind of "extra scrutinize" mode, which moves the goal. A study showing people videos and asking them to point out CGI vs real would be far more interesting to me.
Not trying to be argumentative, I just want to properly communicate the risk and why its important everyone should be getting the HPV vaccine.

"High-risk HPVs cause several types of cancer. Cervical cancer: Virtually all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV, and just two HPV types, 16 and 18, are responsible for about 70% of all cases (7, 8). Anal cancer: About 95% of anal cancers are caused by HPV. Most of these are caused by HPV type 16."

Seems like JSON should have already been overturned. It hasn't and I don't think it will. My personal belief was that XML was kicked out because it allowed this:
<books:book>
stuff here
<xsd:schema .../>
<xslt:transform .../>
</books:book>

And so you couldn't just READ that, you had to have a parser that fully understood EVERYTHING going on there. JSON won't get namespaces, and therefore it will remain good. We will continue to replace what namespaces did for XML, but will keep that data in its own metadata document, outside the main document. I think that's why JSON won't be replaced as quickly as XML.

Also XML didn't kill XML, webservices (ws-* standards) killed XML.
That's a whole other problem [1]. Most bad managers I've met were actually quite good at the jobs of the people they are managing. Managing requires a whole other set of skills though.

> “The old traditional experiences — take museums, for example — are the institutions that become more and more archaic,” she told me. “They just haven’t been able to reformulate for the shifts in what people are interested in.”

Like diving in plastic sprinkles? This quote will not age well, much like her vision of our future: cultural and community institutions replaced by cathedrals of narcissism.

It's the daytime equivalent of a see-and-be-seen nightclub, only without the social interaction or alcohol.

What do you mean division is not defined on the set of integers? Mathematically or programmatically? Because yes you have euclidean divisions which are divisions for the integers.
Lighthouse results seem random, got three widely different results for the same website. I would expect the results to vary slightly (taking into account the time it takes to receive the requests, server load, congestion and whatnot), but I also has a feeling that the time to first paint and time to load are impacted by current load on the machine running the Chrome running the Lighthouse tests or something.

Am I alone in observing this?

Ex sounds a lot like example, rather than exception.

I really like the use of keywords, leveraging our extensive understanding and intuition of language to make a language more clear and intuitive.

Symbolic operators work well if they are borrowed from math (e.g. third grade), making up new ones often results in a painful learning phase.

Pombo.io is a free service where you can easily set up contact forms and get some leads.

Forget about SMTP configuration, Ajax requests and all that stuff that you usually have to do when you have a simple contact form on your website.

All you need to do is change the action-attribute to point to Pombo and create a hidden field with the email (or emails) that you want to receive this form.

Simple as that, no additional JS code.

After submitting the form, the user will get a nice message and will be redirected back to your website and you'll get a new lead.

I tweeted in Apr. 2016,

"You know how you feel when you have to parse XML from 2005? That’s how we’ll all feel about JSON in 2025. It’s not bad, just bloat-y."

XML, JSON, gRPC… These are all technologies to solve a problem. The trouble is people confuse technology with a business solution and they start applying it as though by "having a REST API" you've done something. You can't say you've accomplished anything until you actually demonstrably deliver value!
I am still trying to learn Rust here and there, but Zig seems to click more with me. I love Rust's documentation. Is there a Zig book in the works?

Galloway: Too hard to predict.
This seems pretty interesting, and I will be happy to play around with it.

I am a bit concerned that there is no discussion in the docs of the potential security risks of allowing direct native JS execution of arbitrary instructions passed in by an untrusted source.

I use a project called JSONLogic (jsonlogic.com) which bears some similarity to ST in terms of being able to select and transform values. The biggest advantage I see with it is, unless you explicitly plug in a rule that parses and executes user data, there is no way for the data to "escape the sandbox". This means you can safely build a query syntax on top of it where you can directly consume the arbitrarily complex query from an untrusted source and execute it in a secure manner.
Now that is neat!

Were our company in need of a way to cross the street, we would almost certainly look for a vendor supported crosswalk, plus consultants to guide us through crossing the street the first few times, and training for our designated crosswalk guard.

And I'm not even convinced they're doing it wrong. People are expensive. Most the time Build vs Buy is a no-brainer for everything but your absolute core business, and even then you should wonder if custom software really will differentiate you from the rest of the market.
