I would have expected Deadspin to be a little more on top of the incompetent Olympic athlete phenomenon, since it happens every two years. She isn't even the worst example in this Olympics- you need to at least mention the "I first saw snow 12 weeks ago" Tongan entry. And how about some Eric the Eel reminiscences?
Thanks for comparison. The two (awesome) sites are aimed at the developer to developer level, whereas Algosaur is more of a developer to casual non-coding user.
Thank you! I will definitely add Python, once there will be a developer willing to invest his time into the platform and potentially earn some income.
I've worked at Bloomberg, I did not know they used RoR in large external facing apps. Only heard about it for smaller internal sites. My team worked on things very far from BLaw and BVault implementation details though.
Haxe can compile to Flash, which is such a distinguishing feature that people actually use it to write Flash applets:

If you have ever tried to write Flash applets the old-fashioned way, it feels more like a scriptable paint program.
Needless to say, when rates did go negative, banks did not respect the interest rates they agreed to. Did not respect the contracts they agreed to with customers.

When they were legally forced to do so, the government prevented them from being sued to do it anyway, by destaffing the only judicial office where such procedures could be started.

Also, banko Santander was sold to external investors, with direct involvement from the central bank and the Spanish government, and ... failed to mention these negative-interest-rate obligations. If anyone else ever did anything remotely approaching this they wouldn't just be nailed to the cross, people would be talking about it for decades too.

Oh and despite all this cheating, banks and governments not respecting their own laws (nor even taking the time to change them, or even so little as involve the legislative branch in the process), despite violating every precept of democracy on both the Spanish and European level ... all large Spanish banks are a hair away from bankruptcy.

Raising hopes for a better-connected megapolis
There are public guarded bathrooms in the area. I have not seen any line there but to be honest I went in the area once a week for 3 years. When you see people literally doodling with their diarrhea, it doesn't feel like prison or community service should be the universal answer for them.
You make it sound like it's some kind of moral upside to adopt new technologies when it's just the result of having a vacuum of world solutions. Happened before with mobile technology adoption, countries with bad infrastructure will adopt the new generation of that technology sooner.

Does it mean China is more vital? Not necessarily, it simply means they are filling a gap.
This sounds like a twisted account. One example: the damage caused is put in the headline and teased in the narration. But it is never actually specified in the story. What does “smash” mean?

Another account (http://www.wweek.com/news/2018/02/17/no-violence-brief-disru...) makes this seem like one of those phony alt-right PR stunts. It sounds like there was a disruption at the event, but the damage was repaired in a minute and just done impetuously.
> This CoC can be summarized as "don't be a jerk to other people"

That is true if in your world saying or writing the following is being a jerk:

- hug, <3

- smoking is bad for you, you should eat healthier food, I think that food is disgusting

- men have higher testosterone levels

All of these violate their CoC.

If all they wanted is a CoC that says "don't be a jerk" then they would have put that into their CoC and not what's in it currently, like many other projects had done so[1].

> I can't even fathom how that's a controversial or political statement, but yet, here we are.

It's political because it's being pushed by political activist groups and it's controversial because not everyone agrees that writing hug should get you banned from a technical community.

Hardly. Again, watch some National Geographic. You will see plenty of animals struggling as they are devoured alive. We raise chickens for eggs. A few times, Opossums or racoons have gotten into the pen. They will kill every single chicken and eat maybe one or two at most. Sometimes, they will even chew off a hen's leg or both and leave it alive.
> After the Europeans could not find enough surviving Native Americans to enslave, they went to Africa next to start another round of cruelty.

This is off. The problem wasn't that there weren't enough natives, but that they tended to die quickly when enslaved.
That's not really any better. That just supports the narrative that Apple only cares about frivolous uses of their devices ("toys") and aren't serious about supporting Pro users (who will definitely want to restore corrupt files from backups)

Disease spread is such a drop-in-the-bucket among the (moral, ethical, personal, societal) issues surrounding prostitution

That is simply a matter of perspective and implementation. There are many countries and areas where prostitution is legalised (an sometimes even unionised), and evidence shows that on the whole, the majority of problems associated with prostitution are caused by prohibition.
>For example, I'd feel quite comfortable wearing a Burnie Sanders shirt or hat to work. I'd expect that wearing a MAGA hat would cause problems.

They aren't equal things though. The latter is basically you promoting the idea that people of different backgrounds aren't as welcome in the workplace. Especially if your workplace hires anyone on an H1-B or on any other kind of visa, or anyone from Iran, Sudan, Iraq, or the other Muslim ban countries.

I get that in terms of an election they are both equally valid political candidates. But the actual substance of both pieces of clothing is different. One is easily going to divide any workplace where you have employees of foreign nationalities or minorities and the other isn't. There's a reason why what you expect from both scenarios makes sense.

I wouldn't write off an entire company on this abbreviated description, but damn, I'd be worried about this. It does not speak highly of your CTO.

I'm not saying Elm is objectively better than JavaScript (I don't do either). But, can't these things sit side by side. And, if so, how is rewriting code aligned with moving faster? At worst, keep what you have in Elm, and write new code in JS? Also, there's plenty of "ugghh" with JavaScript that I'm skeptical of anyone throwing away existing code in order to rewrite it in javascript.

This is all doubly true for a early-stage MVP, where I'd expect a CTO to be technically minded and enthusiastic. Sounds more like "I know JS so we'll do JS."
Ohh I managed to miss until now that mathtools itself loads amsmath, so it's never necessary to manually load both. Thanks.

Don't know what your goals are here, but if you have $2M banked then you're presumably shooting for a relatively large ~$100M+ market valuation. At this point, your primary focus should be the success of your pivot, and nothing is more valuable than cash.

If the extra 16% equity is necessary to ensure your ability to fundraise and retain talent, then it is a fatal condition. You must find a way to show the equity holders that their 16% will be worth zero unless they give some back.

If the extra 16% is _extremely annoying_, and you really wish you could get it back because you think this new venture will be HUGE... then I'd advise you to consider leaving it alone as "dead equity". Yeah it sucks, but your options here are Victory or Zero. Giving up cash (or time, and mental anguish) for a slightly larger Victory doesn't really help you, and increases the probability of Zero by a non-trivial amount. Check your ego and be wise here.

IANAL. Your Mileage My Vary.
So you see it as a general career progression impediment - even the gifted gets "slowed down" progression wise?

Are you talking from personal experience, or guessing? I strongly suspect a lot of this depends heavily on how the talent review process works in the company this takes place in. A gifted engineer will likely get recognized anyways, but an average engineer will need the review process to look beyond face value.

I talked to multiple attorneys. The jobs I am talking about involve security clearances and it does not seem like the true fact of the incident can be erased for such purposes.

I can petition to have certain legal consequences removed --
like my right to buy a firearm for hunting. This still would not erase the incident from the government database.

I can explain that it was a misunderstanding and show how I did not technically deserve what happened to me. However what I said was still very stupid and not something I ever want anyone else to read. It was my mistake for writing it but the consequence will follow me forever in this small way.

As much as I'd love to discuss them, potentially learning more about them myself and (gasp!) even changing my mind in the process, I'm not comfortable doing it. There's a high chance I will be immediately labeled as "racist / sexist / bigot / white supremacist / [fill in the blank]" for even contemplating disagreement on these topics (let's take "diversity" or how we're handling it as a society as an example) without any supporting evidence.

Look man, welcome to being an underrepresented minority / woman in the US. This is our every day everywhere we go. We always have to watch our tongues make sure what we're saying doesn't get us labelled as "uppity" or "thuggish" or "bossy" etc etc etc.

Is that actually clear?

New York has a much higher percentage of homeless people per square mile yet it doesn’t feel as problematic because more of them are sheltered.

According to HUD ~88% of SF’s homeless population is unsheltered whole only ~5% of New York’s is despite having more per square mile.

San Francisco is more willing to leave this demographic on the streets so it’s more of a issue of policy, and a bad one at that:

To feed / house / and provide essential medical care to a homeless person costs about $28000 / year according to a study by Pomeroy in Canada while HUD claims the cost to the tax payer for a homeless person is $40,000+ particularly because their only medical assistance is typically the emergency room. Why there is a homeless problem at all is something we should all consider.

Hi, early Twitter employee here. The reliability team called the infrastructure Fisher-Price internally so this wasn't just one random executive coming up with a term on his/her own.

The problem wasn't ruby. The problem was the way that Twitter used Ruby. We had one big mono repo with every single function and every form of business logic baked into a single place. That logic relied on monkey patching and all sorts of crazy horrible glue to keep it working together. Every time we had to scale up we would glue infra in place to keep things working while we came up with a real solution (which never really materialized).

In my time there we had memcache instances which held timelines. Populating them took hours/days and while they were unpopulated the site was offline. Rebooting/restarting the caches was simply not an option. We had a data sharding strategy that was temporal. We would spin up a new database cluster every few weeks to handle all of the incoming tweets and failing to spin up a new cluster in time meant we would have a global site outage. Don't even get me started on the "load bearing mac mini".

In reality the only problem rails really contributed on its own was that it could only process a single request per process at a time. Each machine would spin up 16 or 32 processes to handle requests in parallel but each process needed its own connection to the database, to memcache, etc. At one point we had something like 100k processes all trying to talk to a single mysql master. Much of this could have been mitigated by better design of course, but rails encourages models that don't scale up to crazy dimensions.

In reality moderation was virtually impossible because we were in a 24/7 fight with ourselves about how to keep the system alive for the next couple of days. Constant infighting, managerial changes (I had 9 different managers in 3 years), focus changes (we didn't finish the last major site redesign before starting the next one) and a general unwillingness to pause features long enough to stabilize the system meant we were always on the losing end of a infra battle.
I think hq4x has a slight edge because it doesn't go all the way trying to make everything smooth, still preserving some pixelation. There's actually an analog to this in denoising: if you denoise too heavily you end up losing detail. Smart denoising manages to preserve edges, giving a better result. In this case, pixels are the same as noise, undesirable, but containing useful information.
It doesn't count as a major success story I knew about when I was typing that comment.
Just want to point out that this is life in America for most minorities / women. We all have conversations amongst each other we would never have in front of others precisely because we know that our white / male bosses will take it poorly and treat us differently if they hear it.
Anxiety is a broad word: what is causing the continued disruption, what is it that is causing his brain to seek entertainment elsewhere, why is he taking coding breaks? Genuine disinterest articulates itself a little differently, but misplaced anxiety about solutions will come up as break, break, break, breaks to flow.

For newer devs TDD is about removing obstacles to flow and clarifying action as much as the design/testing benefits. It won't solve genuine disinterest, but look at this threads title... it doesn't say "I find code boring" it says "I can't persist with coding any more".

>I also agree that tech companies can be a difficult place for constructive political debate (or even agree-to-disagree conversations), and I do not think this is a good thing.

I think it is because there are already places for constructive political debate. You can go there to do that. In the workplace, be civil, and if people are telling you they don't like you to do X and Y be reasonable and willing to compromise / apologize if you need to.

Thanks for those. Well, I'm in Australia. We have some of our own small crazy moments too..One that comes to mind was the 2012 story that "Alan Jones did not breach the radio industry's code of conduct or his broadcaster's licence conditions when he said five times that Julia Gillard should be “put in a chaff bag” and dumped at sea, the broadcasting regulator has found" - she was at the time Australia's first female Prime Minister (i.e. leader). Jones had a popular right-wing radio talk show.

edit: OMG, I just read that Ebert page. Are you kidding, that made you like Ebert less?! Can't follow you on that one. He hardly just 'said' it, it was the very start of Ebert's open letter to Limbaugh, it seems. "You should be horse-whipped for the insult you have paid to the highest office of our nation." In context, it sounds a fair enough remark to me.

Ebert goes on, disgusted Limbaugh and caller agree "that Obama might steal money intended for the Red Cross to help the wretched of Haiti. .. This conversation came 48 hours after many of us had seen pitiful sights from Port au Prince. Tens of thousands are believed still alive beneath the rubble. You twisted their suffering into an opportunity to demean the character of the President of the United States." etc Well, I didn't hear about that, maybe Obama did steal the money, in which case I apologize. But I kinda doubt it.

So how does that fit into "suppression because they fear it's true"? I don't see any part of it fits that. But anyway. :-) Thanks for this exchange, it was enlightening.

I guess for a few reasons:

1) SJW isn't a bad thing, like racism. social justice (the literal term) is what all people want in their society. It's preached by nearly every religion (the idea that the poor are equal to the rich, the black people equal to the white, etc).

2) Racist is an adjective but SJW is a group affiliation often attributed to people who don't wish to be affiliated that way. A person can say a racist thing, but no one can do an SJW thing. We can qualify certain things and statements as racist or not. We cannot do the same with SJW. SJW will always be used to denigrate someone. Racist, however, can be used analytically and without malice.
Seems to me like we have a lot more important things to worry about. For instance, police kill more innocent people than school shootings and terrorism.

What are we doing about that besides bodycams? Because that doesn’t seem to be working.
WASM gives you a linear memory block and performs only bounds checking. It provides very few higher-order abstractions.

For example, the way you allocate memory in WASM is to link in a malloc() implementation. This malloc lives in the same linear memory block, and so its internal data structures are vulnerable to being smashed, just like classical heap smashing.

One improvement is that the call stack is maintained externally, so it is not possible to stack-smash a return address. Still heap function pointers are vulnerable to a return-to-libc style attack.

Round and round we go.
