>The implication being that the other hosts looked fake, not like engineers or rocket scientists but like PR people.

You made the same incorrect jump! The implication is only that he's definitely not in PR so he's probably a real engineer. The others have the looks to be in PR (which is why he "wouldn't be surprised" if someone said they were). Yet he never said they couldn't also be real engineers.

They are just attractive enough that it's ambiguous as to whether or not they are real engineers or just PR folks.
>If you read my assertion carefully, I said "control" not "fund".

So then your association with income inequality makes even less sense. If you're just referring to the centralization of the control of funds that happens with anyone who puts their money in a pool that has a manager. It has nothing to do with inequality because teachers make very little and so does their chosen pension leader and yet the latter has investment control over massive sums of money.

>sounds like a fairly obvious canard.

Yawn. An appeal to obviousness is tiresome to respond to. If you think you have a point to make, elucidate it. From where I sit, as long as pensions are involved in private equity, it benefits working people too.

>in fact the thrust of the article I cited is that diminishing numbers of IPOs are making wealth inequality more acute

So then it's not a symptom, it's a cause. To explain the difference: Lack of IPOs are not caused by income inequality but the lack of IPOs lead to more income equality.

Does that part of the build system then need to explicitly unset CLICOLOR_FORCE and MAKE_TERMOUT

Yes, it should be the responsibility of the build system to control the environment variables set during the build.

What would happen if a build system set one of those, and then somewhere deep in the build system (or even in a shell script called from the build system), someone ran grep in a pipeline

The person adding the 'grep' would need to be aware of whether the build system is using color output or not.

This is also part of why programs like grep are removing environment variables like GREP_OPTIONS: they break scripts.

This seems unfortunate; scripts could just unset GREP_OPTIONS if they care.

Nope. Maybe the later generations of the device and competitors entering the market forcing a lower price will, though. I’d pay 300 tops for it.
Hi can any statistician help? How many samples are we supposed to collect? Would this solution work in small boutiques where only you get 4 or 5 samples a day?
I use 9term (from plan9port[0]) as my standard terminal emulator. It has no support for colours. Plan9port comes with a command, nobs, which strips ANSI colour from output. Setting PAGER=nobs and TERM=dumb takes care of a lot of the colour outputting.

9term also does not support a lot of other terminal features. Using it I’ve noticed that there are two kinds of terminal programs:

1. Programs that uses the terminal as a GUI.

2. Programs that can be composed with other programs.

I prefer a program in category 2, since I like scripting to automate my tasks.

I know little on this topic, but as you were looking for some feedback I thought I would response.

Because the Microsoft version was closed source for a long time?

It was released in 2000. You give 2014 as the open source date, which was only 4 years ago.

Woolvalley was referring to the implementation, so bringing up the specification is not that relevant.

The ECMA specification does (did?) not include ASP.NET, ADO.NET, and Windows Forms. The implementation of those APIs were potentially covered under patent, as the Microsoft Community Promise did not apply.

As Wikipedia points out, "These technologies are today[when?] not fully implemented in Mono and not required for developing Mono-applications, they are simply there for developers and users who need full compatibility with the Windows system." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software)#Mono_and_Micro... .

While that point is moot today, that is part of the history which guides current views.

If by C# you mean the ECMA specification, then that's different than C# as available for Windows by Microsoft.

Is C# a first-class citizen on Linux comparable to how Visual C# is a first-class citizen on Microsoft Windows, or how C++ is a first-class citizen on Linux? I don't have the experience with that, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

What languages do you consider to be "first-class" and "second-class" on Linux?

I think a major contributor that isn't pointed out in the article is that clothes can last forever.

Heck now with microfiber underwear those last forever too.

I like your solution further down in the Rust pull request:

programs like make could collect output using a pty rather than a pipe or temp file

This seems brilliant. The pipe mechanism is too dumb to differentiate between these cases - Unix needs a smarter pipe, and pty could be it. Maybe there could be another character in the shell for a pipe that's really a pty like '_', or a digraph like '|p'.

First thing I usually do on a new Linux system is dial down colors in “ls”. Default colors are ridicuously distacting and most don’t convey any new information. I like directories and symlinks highlighted. But the fact that a file is a .jpg or .tar.gz is sufficiently obvious from its name, without turning my terminal into a circus.

I similarly dislike the new trend of fancy command prompts. It’s a prompt, it should stay in the background.

Pumps may be simple but I’ve heard experts in outdoor gear question whether filters are reliable. They can develop micro cracks and therefore invisible failure modes.

Similarly to air or water, I see no problems with companies building the ships that ply the medium. Do you find it odd that Boeing and Airbus make most of the airplanes that you fly on? Government sets regulation where it can and allows the market to operate within those regulations.

You can bet that when and if a lunar, astroid, or any other colony burgeons beyond a sizable hotel that a local government will form and begin to assert its own regulations, not unlike towns of the American west or trading posts operating underneath a larger national trading company. Under what form that occurs has yet to be seen.

Before I say what I'm about to say: I know nothing about Airbnb's finances (aside from what's mentioned in the article) and I have no idea if it actually does or does not make sense for them to go public this year from the standpoint of the success of their business.

However, in a general sense, I believe that any company that provides their employees equity as a part of compensation has a moral obligation to get to a point where they can provide liquidity to those employees. It seems the founders and some early employees of Airbnb were able to cash out some of their shares in previous VC rounds, but that likely leaves the bulk of employees holding options or stock in a position of hanging onto something they aren't sure they'll ever be able to cash out.

Obviously there needs to be a balance of priorities: going public in a situation where the stock price will likely tank or the business will fail before employees can sell will of course not help anyone. But ignoring the fact that you have a ton of employees depending on some sort of liquidity event (even if it's just a company-initiated stock buyback) is IMO unethical.

Not saying that's definitely what's happening here at Airbnb, but the article sure makes it smell that way.
> Later, The CEO, Roy Lai, confirms 'only' 21 people of 'over' 1000 were affected.

I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration. I’ve certainly had some untreated water from time to time and never had an issue. To be clear I don’t advocate putting yourself in a position where you have to do so. But I also don’t think it’s extraordinary luck to not get giardiasis because I end up swallowing a mouthful of water whitewater paddling or because I’m dehydrated and have no water treatment.
I caught giardia and who knows what else while I was in India for a year. I had diarrhea 10+ times a day for over a month, vomited a few times, bloated and lactose intolerant for over a year, and two years on I'm still not feeling 100% even after taking over 100 pills to nuke everything.

You might be lucky and not be too affected by this stuff but it's not something to mess around with.

> At the same time, data keeps getting bigger and computers come with more and more cores (which Python cannot easily take advantage of), while single-core performance is only slowly getting better. Thus, Python is a worse and worse solution, performance-wise.

PySpark is makes it really easy to take advantage of multiple cores & machines. Most operations I want to do to my data I can find in PySpark's pyspark.sql.functions, so I get all the benefits of the JVM. In the cases I need something from Python, I can just UDF, it's a little slower than JVM but still extremely fast when distributed--I find all problems come down to time or memory complexity, which is independent to whatever your programming in. Also, it's very easy to take advantage of spot instances with Spark... I'm usually working with 2-20 spot instances, and sometimes go up to 60 depending on what I'm doing.
Or it can be a competitor that does it better. As it stands now I don’t see remarkable making notebooks obsolete. It’s a pretty bold statement.

To me, the critical quality exposed is the abstraction/synthesis moment of Haskell/types/FP thinking. Python is what I use, but I rely on insights from a Haskell person to get solutions of merit. Left to my own devices I frequently derive python solutions with bad scaling, few and weak opportunitistic parallelism moments and heaps of errors.

When driven to think in types and simple function composition the solutions seem to run better

As for high level C++ threading you have OMP. It's incredibly easy to use. In the simplest case you just use a preprocessor directive before a loop to say it should run in parallel. It's probably not as nice as what you get in Haskell because it needs to be done explicitly but it is really easy to use.

I recall reading SpaceX had to reinvent quite a few wheels because the existing private sector was far too expensive — everything from cryogenic pumps to sea recovery of lower stages.

The problem is lack of meaningful competition, rather than government vs. industry; governments can be very good when competing with other governments.
Literally everything Lockheed, Raytheon, ULA, and every other company with a building along the Dulles Corridor is government funded. Not a single one would have private funds as SpaceX did to develop capabilities not specifically requested in a government RFP. TLDR: You have no idea how the government works and why SpaceX is different - GTFO.
