And there have been specific instances of BLM activists killing police, this being the most high profile one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Dallas_police...

We also had a Bernie supporter shoot Steve Scalise, and the general social media response to Rand Paul being assaulted was celebratory and saying he deserved it for being a Republican.

Seems like the power dynamics doesn't necessarily mean what these people are saying won't lead to violence. There are certain things which no power imbalance excuses, and in my opinion this is one of them.

And what happened in Dallas is much more clear cut than what James Fields did in Charlottesville. He seemed to have snapped after someone hit his car with a bat. Seems more like road rage to me based on the video. I think they're going to have a hard time convicting him of 1st degree murder, honestly. Plus, had the police done their job that entire situation likely would have been avoided. The violence should not have been allowed to escalate like it was.

> What are you not understanding here? If 20% of qualified applicants are female, but 30% of new hires are female, you must be discriminating against men.

Thing is, you don't have these numbers. And you are making them up, to push your narrative. Which is another massive flaw on Damore's argument: he's trying to solve a problem he doesn't even know exists.

> Damore suggested they were lowering hiring standards and setting arbitrary quotas.

Damore suggested based on assumptions. I find that very, very, VERY difficult to defend.

I just ran "pkg install llvm50" on FreeBSD. Easy, quick, and noninvasive; it's not like installing another compiler is going to trash your system, you still have to take action to use it in place of the default. Likewise on Linux, you've always been able to install multiple compilers, and I've never had a problem with that in the two decades I've been doing it.

I can see containers are sometimes useful and/or a convenience, but you're right it is currently some weird cargo-cult. I don't find it that lightweight either; it can waste serious amounts of space storing all the different images and intermediate states in Dockerfiles. At least on FreeBSD I can use jails with ZFS snapshots (and dataset compression) to keep space wastage to a minimum, and have it quickly freed when I'm done with them without any extra effort.

Re crosscompilation: Sure, if you want to prepare an environment which has all the dependencies, then that is a way you can take. I always found it harder than using the target system directly. And in the end if you're running any tests after compilation, you still need the target system for that.

Re WSL: If the app you're working on works on WSL, great. It's not an option for many projects though.

I don't agree with this. Once an accuser has filed a criminal complaint of rape, I think companies should do a lot to protect that person from a co-worker. However, once those charges are dismissed for lack of evidence, which happened for reasons not covered in this article, the situation changes. I would like someone to tell me what Microsoft should do after charges are dropped.

Personally I find it disturbing that if I search for 'free games' and then put 'torture' in the search box I find children's games devoted to torture. OK, nobody is being hurt, and I'm aware many boys like to pull the wings off insects, and so on. But it seems wrong that creativity and funding are going into supplying this sort of thing.
If life in the universe is as common as a median of one intelligent race per galaxy, and apparent-faster-than-light travel is possible, then it would seem likely that at least one extraterrestrial lifeform would have visited us. The probability of this may increase with the number of intelligent lifeforms per galaxy.

In current political discourse, “entitlements” refers to all of the public benefit programs, whether buy-in or means-tested, that are not considered discretionary spending, Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment, Medicaid, and Welfare. You probably mean to say that the first three differ from the last two, which is true; the first three are contributory entitlements (the original sense of the term), the latter two are noncontributory entitlements (which, along with contributory entitlements, are included in the newer, broader definition.)

Q.E.D.
Running containers on Windows requires a full VM in parallel. Docker just hides it.
I think your response is reasonable. People will be happy to play games with their browsers as long as they trust the game and have control over when to play and not. Maybe firefox becomes the "fun" browser and we end up with a web version of a pokemon go type game. (Would be cool, huh? Websites would "trend" as people flocked to find $pattern and shared their discoveries.) Or some other game. Or a game-of-the-week, that advertisers can sponsor.

But transparency, opt-in, and ease of use are all key to this working.

> Apple keeps Clang up to date on macOS,

Actually, not especially. The system compiler that ships with Xcode is still quite old and the libraries are quite out of date. For example, though the most recent Xcode finally added -std=c++17 it still lacks core library features like std::variant. I wish they could keep close to mainline but for whatever reason they can't.
From my observations, a brief stint interacting with standards bodies, and a lot strong opinions about API designs and specs:

The problem starts with regulatory capture of standards and standards bodies. It is in the interests of large organizations to pack a standard with every bit of code they have created internally. It slows down the other members and it keeps small groups and independents out entirely.

You could in many cases have a standard that five people sharing an apartment could implement. Or you could have one that only half a dozen groups could, which is just enough competition to make it sportsmanlike.
all things equal, one dedicated to get power in an organization will get power over those that are dedicated to produce for the organization

this works for company, bureaucracies and everything else in life and is part of the entropy an organization accrues with time.

giving bureaucrats a weaker initial position will only extend the time before takeover.
Is a Private Bitcoin Better?
I can personally say that every time I've traded with a bank I've absolutely thought about it from the perspective of them taking a view contrary to mine. It would be bizarre if they thought that it was a good time/price to buy and instead they sold it to me.

I guess I think that every time I've given someone money it's because they're stronger (smarter/better connected/etc.) than me or because they're willing to do something that I don't want to do or because we value things differently. The last case might be the result of different utility functions or might just be the result of a mistake.

It seems like in any other circumstance there wouldn't really be a reason for me to give money.

I'll give money to a cobbler because they're stronger than me in the sense that I physically can't make shoes as well as they can. I'll give money to my house cleaner because they're willing to clean my apartment and I'm not.
FYI here in Spain you can possess drugs at your home - any illegal substance - because it is not illegal. You can't deal drugs nor carry them along with you on the street. You can grow for instance, as well, marijuana if it is for your own consumption.

There used to be a funicular nearly adjacent to the starting point of the Cog Railway that would have given the Swiss one a run for its money, as the Manitou Incline hit 68° in some points. The Manitou Incline shuttered in the 90s after a rockfall damaged the tracks. It's a popular endurance trail now, with people 'running' up the old incline track to the top of Mount Manitou.

I'd like to second your post though. I took the Cog Railway up to the summit of Pikes Peak right before Christmas a few years ago and we were blessed with having to stop as a herd of Rocky Mountain big-horn sheep moved across the path. There is a protected lambing area on the backside of the mountain which of course I've never visited but to see these animals up close at 11,000 feet was spectacular.

Plus you can buy fresh donuts and coffee up at the summit. A nice way to visit 14,000 feet if you're not inclined to the wonderful but strenuous Barr Trail.

> "Fork it" is not an acceptable answer. The problem is not with Firefox, it's with Mozilla. Mozilla is a good company at heart and they're an important pillar of the web. Losing them to stupid stuff like this sucks, we should fight for them.

Well, how do you suggest doing this when it appears that the relevant decision-making parts of Mozilla do not answer to anyone "on our side" in any meaningful way?

It seems to me that the only solution is to make an organisation with a fundamentally different system of governance. By virtue of institutional inertia, I figure it would be very hard to do this by actually raising a competing project from the ground up and hoping to capture any of Mozilla's market share or developer base (not to mention the amply made elsewhere in this thread point that Mozilla is big and expensive for a reason).

The far easier, and quite well-tried, solution is to put financial and social pressure on the current leadership to voluntarily open itself to downstream control. The former may be most easily achieved by having an Iceweasel-style "condom organisation" gain traction - that is, someone who tries their best to replicate all of Mozilla's user-facing I/O (releases, sync servers...) in a timely fashion, systematically acts as a QC layer to strip bad decisions like this or Cliqz and otherwise does not waste developer time on niche interests like classic UIs. For the latter, whatever you may think of the person of the tactic, the Brendan Eich story unfortunately shows that pitchfork mob tactics work on Mozilla. Even more cynically, it may be the case that they are the main way anything gets done these days. The (very significant, in my eyes) moral reservations aside, from a result-oriented perspective of what is most useful to reform Mozilla as an organisation, is there any good argument against the "identify a representative set of heads behind this latest measure and call for them" approach?

Failing to address workplace sexual harassment (or any of the other potential workplace issuesthat arise from failing to act on information relating to this kind of issue between coworkers) merely because a related criminal complaint was dismissed is a good way to get into deep liability, since sexual harassment (and many of the other sources of liability which could become relevant based on a failure to act) don't require the necessary elements of the crime of rape, and as a statutory tort rather than a crime, have a lower standard of proof.
> I seriously doubt that.

And that's your prerogative. But it also makes the rest of your argument just conjecture. Making a huge deal about "inequality" based on conjecture is probably not the best way to spend your time.

> You're trusting Mozilla to run code on your machine

Right, and that's the problem: trust. I trust them to be responsible with the unfettered access I've given them. I trust them to only use that access for the things we've agreed upon: updates to the core browser and some specific data-collection to help them understand and improve how the product is being used.

Now they are using that channel to push advertisements onto my system without asking. They are overstepping the intended use of the update channel we had agreed upon in a very non-transparent manner. Makes me wonder if I can trust them.

I only gave them the ability to push automatic updates because I trusted them. If I can't trust them not to abuse the privilege I need to think about revoking the privilege and uninstalling Firefox.

I find the undogmatic approach to notations interesting here; the basic calculator is RPN, but CAS/symbolic features ("expressions") use algebraic notation (with separate "big" and normal notations). Of course everything has elisp underpinnings with its prefix notation, which is also used for custom extensions. Beyond those broad strokes, the basic notation used feels quite quirky, like using _ for negatives

Wikipedia is completely different, because pretty much any user can contribute at any point in time. There's very little money involved for actually developing it, they mainly just need to maintain the infrastructure.

And well, Linux is not different at all, it really isn't, as there's just as well a shitton of money going into Linux. Canonical, Red Hat, SUSE, Google, Facebook, heck even Microsoft, they all put a lot of money into Linux.

Krita, GIMP, Blender, and the Linux desktops do not have anywhere close to the same need for development velocity, as there's much less competition in the space and as a result of that, but also just as a result of the things that they do, there not being as rapidly shifting requirements.

I seem to recall the "bailout" was a purchase of bank assets (including stocks, etc.) which was subsequently repaid as the market healed. Which sounds more like lending money rather than giving it away.

Is that correct? And if so, how is that similar to paying off mortgages?
