It's much like an immutable data store. You get one operation: insert.

With full backward compatibility, you agglomerate features, and changes are implemented as optional, with the default being the old behavior.

You can add layers that depend on existing code, but you cannot make existing code depend on those new layers.
Thanks for the reference to Monese. What did you have to provide as part of KYC?
Your comment shows the downside of assholes being effective. People so often have to deal with ineffectiveness, they come to feel happy with anything they can get that works, forgetting that’s it almost always possible to be just as direct, blunt, and compelling with different rhetoric.

Assholism is not the solution to great leadership. It’s one of many techniques leaders use. Some leaders are effective using it frequently, but it’s important to note it’s usually not required because there are trade offs and downsides, both morally and amorally from a pure efficiency standpoint.

I don't understand what's so hard about voter's registration... assign one voting number to each individual, check the number against some form of ID, check that each number is used at most once.

Voter's fraud is already pretty low, so I'm assuming the above works fine as it is...

It's a gh-pages site right? Never seen one of those bulk over heavy traffic. Or are they (you?) hosting it somewhere else?

edit: nevermind, reading more of the github README.md I realize the site itself is a PWA (make sense) and you probably need a server and not a static site like gh-pages.
Agreed but I don't think that it's going to happen.

We tend to excuse people for being bratty assholes when they're smart and correct. Which Linus was here.

Doesn't make it right but it's not just a Linus problem (I mean, generally), it's a people problem.

Profanity by itself isn't the problem. I don't have a problem with shit piss cunt fuck either. It's telling a contributor that their contributions are worthless, cannot be fixed, and other ad-hominem angry insults that just fosters a macho, jockish atmosphere in Linux that has demonstrably alienated capable contributors. I'm sorry that Sarah Sharp is no longer maintaining the USB modules because of Linus's attitude, because I've never seen anyone else who knows as much about USB as she does.

Basically, it depends on the size of the company - the numbers reported by Netflix are GAAP. The tricky part is depreciation and amortization v. cash which would create a different outcomes in a cashflow and GAAP.

A company with a positive cashflow and GAAP profitable is in the best spot, followed by a company with a positive cashflow and losing money in GAAP-land, followed by a negative cashflow and positive GAAP-land, followed by a negative cashflow and negative GAAP.
I haven’t heard it’s competitive once you’re in the company but it is competitive to get into Netflix.

Top Tier in the sense that they have very good technical skills, paired with the right attitude for Netflix’s culture. I haven’t them be unreasonable for the standards they set but they want the very best and want you to work hard everyday. The difference is they don’t seem to stockpile talent, they cut when someone doesn’t meet that bar and have paid them incredibly well till that point.

What is a bootloader and when do you need one?
I've called Linus an utter asshole many times before, I have no problem calling him an asshole when he is one. I've made big career changes because I was sick of certain toxic people in open source projects. I'm not defending Assholes In OpenSource(TM). I just don't think this is an instance. He isn't personally insulting the person, the person was defending a choice that anyone exposed to kernel development should know does not meet fundamental expectations. After 3 weeks, that requires some bluntness.

There's a thicker-than-fine line between being hostile to new contributors and being unkind, and tolerating bad practices from people who ought to know better.
I was recludant to agree woth Linus at first. Why should we avoid break hard? I understand we wany to avoid breaking user interface as much as possible - who would want to use an unstable API? But why is it better off to let things fail silently? For example he cited certain obsolete fields in /proc/stats return zeros.

Is it because Kernel is used by so many people and projects we can’t afford having some <insert your favorite Linuz utilit> broken after upgrading to a new kernel. Replace Linux kernel with OSX or Android etc

Yes of course. But I feel the consequence of never break your interface and never blame userland is to force the users to write tests that can report changed behavior.

The US is not the whole world. Are you that stupid?
I would argue that ideas are cheap until they are proven correct, relatively, compared to the effort to proven them, in some cases, also to apply them into real world scenarios.

I see the society give unproportionally large credit to the so-called "leaders", because they pioneered certain "ideas".

That's wrong.

Histories bury too many talented individuals who are not recognized, because of some pioneers are frantically sucked all the attentions the society can give.

In professional research community, authors are listed because they are deemed a critical contributor to the work. Plain and simple.
Agreed, and if this a fundamental concept in kernel development, as he says it is, I believe he has every right to feel frustrated as the debate thread has been going on for three weeks.

Linus has been known to have some hostility to 'security developers' in the past, so I'm also going in with some skepticism. But I'm not seeing him be unreasonable here.

These are human processes, a lot of personality, dedication, and sacrifice is involved in these projects.

A whiteboard. Seriously. A presentation is (or at least should be) first and foremost about a human being telling a story, which humans have been doing for hundreds of thousands of years. If you can't tell an effective story without a computer then no software is going to save you.

Take a look at some of Eddie Woo's videos on YouTube. He gives some of the best presentations ever with nothing but himself and a whiteboard.

> usually perceived as important or more important than the first author who "did all the work"

To be accurate, that person is considered the one who will claim the credit after the student graduates. Not that they are important to the work.

It was a total failure at release though, since WB didn't make it available DRM-free[1]. It's a counter example of how to do things. The end result was - never trust WB.

CAS don't do cache flushes. Caches are fully coherent so they never enter into the window in any lock-free algorithms.

Also any lock implementations also use a cas or equivalent internally (you could use the Dekker algorithm, but it is not cheper).
Most kids 3-5 can identify parts of animals they have never seen as long as there is an analog in their experience.
This is a little bit off topic, but one thing that I wish python used is ruby's indicators for the purpose of a function. i.e. "?" for boolean returns, and "!" for modifying functions in place.

In a language without explicit typing and return values having an instant indicator of the functionality of a function can be a huge help in writing readable code.
It feels good to step through some code just using paper and pencil with all computers off. It's not for everyone, I get that, but some of us love it. I tend to walk away with a much deeper understanding of the code. I don't do it all the time nor do I need to. I reserve this ritual for truly interesting pieces of code.
So how do you verify that the same individual doesn't have two different ID numbers?

Looks very interesting.

One thing I've been wanting is a VM that would contain a "minimized" version of an operating system, plus a single program, in addition to the programs dependencies.

I've looked into using Docker to do something like the above, but it didn't seem straightforward a few years ago. LightVM seems like it could be an option in the future.
Trees will be planted to replace these trees assuming the timber is sourced correctly; also the carbon bound up on the wood is staying in the wood.
That is a good reason to keep using a password input. I should probably intercept the keypress events and show nothing so that the password never even reaches the DOM. Then I wouldn't have to worry about the input growing/wrapping.
Why do you need Closure though? If ClojureScript's compiler compiles to JS, why do you need Closure? You already have JS code and can already run it.
On a similar note, look at what happened in Iraq during the ISIS rein. Thousands of ancient monuments were destroyed :(
I still don't get what React Router offers that some simpler router, like page.js, for example, doesn't.
Think of trees as co2 batteries. They take in co2 to create wood then release it back when they burn or decay.

If you plant a tree farm and use the wood to create buildings you are effectively doing carbon sequestration.
> Pretty much the same reason everybody voted for Trump.

"Everybody"? Sanders also said a bunch of things like they are, and he said them politely. Especially factoring in grass roots support, he was more popular than Hillary and would have wiped the floor with Trump.

If you allow your media and "leaders" to sweep people like Sanders under the rug, you make people like Trump inevitable. And then you still don't learn. There can be worse things than Trump, so much infinitely worse; and they will come to pass if you insist on this trajectory.

The interesting issue is more of leadership.

1) Is it possible to get equally direct and effective results in a different style?

2) Does Linus care about the answer to question (1), or would he act out of emotion even if he knew knew there was a equal or more productive way?

1% a day as a boast is unfortunately nothing anymore.

I've been seeing ads for Bitcy.biz lately, too. Take one look at their promises, if you will. They're advertising all over the place now because of their bounty program -- ie. they'll pay between 0.025 and 0.5 BTC for hosting banner ads, making blog and facebook posts, etc, and people are biting.

For example, they have one program where they promise that if you put in a minimum of 0.05BTC for a period of no less than 100 business days, you will returned 7000% of your original investment (including your original investment). At today's prices that would mean for ~$351 USD that you lock in for ~5months, you will be returned $22000.

They're actively trying to scoop up all of the stupid. That or there's some thinly veiled money laundering schemes occurring all over the place now -- which wouldn't surprise me at all.
> As I previously stated: use a computer that fits within your definition of "very easy to secure" to setup the YubiHSM; after that, encryption using the HSM is theoretically secure to the degree the CPU accessing the plaintext is secure (this does not have to be the CPU the YubiHSM is plugged into).

Whats the point ? We already have a secure system.

Trezor is an ideal HSM. Chromebook C201 can make most secure (not sure if its enough) HSM laptop. And I dont think performence is a requirement.

I more suprised why people are using YubiHSM like devices to store root keys. I dont mean to shit on someoneelse's party.

> With Bitcoin you only have trust in value of Bitcoin.

More specifically, you have trust in the continued trust that others have in it. It's a self-fulfilling prophesy: as long as people continue to trust it, it continues to be valuable, but as soon as people start to doubt that others will continue to trust it, it's instantly worthless. There's no real value backing it up. This makes it very vulnerable to hype and hysteria.
When famous celebrities get involved in speculation that is the ultimate sign of a bubble. Similar to when pro athletes like A-rod and paul pierce starting making day trades back in 2004.

One reason for this is that for the longest time they weren't really available in a cross platform way. I'd learn about e.g. mutexes in a computer architecture class, and then I could immediately go use them with boost or pthread or whatever.

I'd also learn about atomic operations, atomic cas, and memory barriers, but short of some very specific game libraries with weird macros for this, I couldn't find them anywhere.

It seemed like we were expected to sprinkle volatile everywhere, remember rules about unaligned access, and write our own platform specific macros for memory barriers. If you're primarily testing your code on an x86 laptop, it's very difficult to be confident that you're doing it correctly.
