The scooter problem is more simple. Both in complexity and ability to take action. I'm glad the city took swift, simple actions to reign in illegal activity before it became worse.

The defecation issue is more complex in terms of causes and ability to take action. I agree the city should move more quickly with stopgaps like increased cleaning frequency. However, "solving" the root of this problem will take much more time, energy, and money.
I like the idea of a Beginner box. Github is doing the same with issue templates. I would suggest going one step further - give a “question quality” score made up by some algorithm that SO controls. could be machine learned, could just be a bunch of rules like a Linkedin Profile score. Gamify asking great questions, not just answering.
Particularly when they started reclassifying formerly-purchasable items, that I had in my order history, as Add-Ons.

I would have grudgingly accepted that if they'd just said "sorry, they're too expensive to ahip individually" but their PR kept spinning a tale about hugely expanded range.

Instead I started buying small items on eBay, paying the small amount of postage required, which led to buying bigger things and eventually barely looking at Amazon any more.
I’m in the same boat. 10k rep on SO and softeng.se, and I barely participate anymore. For me the most frustrating part is that the rules forbid vague questions with opinionated answers, but that at this point in my career most of the things I find interesting are all like that so there’s almost nothing I want to get answers to that I can ask.

Software architecture questions are very difficult to ask without triggering overbroadness. Another category that is off limits are getting started type questions, again they’re considered too vague (but that’s the whole point, the user doesn’t know where to start). And the illogical ban on pointing to research involving statistics also drives me batty. I’ve had arguments with moderators before where my answer was bad because it pointed to capers jones’ research, one of the most authorative sources of good software dev practices.

I always feel like it’s a game of dodge the moderator bot to get questions to not be closed, unless they’re of the boring easy to answer briefly and precisely variety.
This doesn't necessarily imply causation - that being a woman causes people to accept your pull requests.

Identification online is totally voluntary, so perhaps there is something about people who feel the need to specify their gender online, when it isn't necessary (such as when coding) that causes their pull requests to be rejected more.
I mean, any exit could be spun as a 'win' for the founders. Still surprising that a company that was by all reports highly profitable decided to sell for what is basically a down round.

I'm reminded of a similar notion that Bill & Melinda Gates wrote in their 2018 letter[0]:

"When more children live past the age of 5, and when mothers can decide if and when to have children, population sizes don’t go up. They go down. Parents have fewer children when they’re confident those children will survive into adulthood. Big families are in some ways an insurance policy against the tragic likelihood of losing a son or a daughter.
We see this pattern throughout history. All over the world, when death rates among children go down, so do birth rates. It happened in France in the late 1700s. It happened in Germany in the late 1800s. Argentina in the 1910s, Brazil in the 1960s, Bangladesh in the 1980s."

Standard 'its a three legged stool' spiel. Photos, profile, and messaging. Really messaging is the easiest part. Here is a high-conversion-rate formula:

0) playful message about profile/photo
1) flirt for one or two exchanges
2) pivot to drinks. I like the highly elaborate, "Sounds like something we could take about over drinks, are you free this week?"

Photos are probably the easiest way to stand out. Most guys seem to just do the 'house selfie in a t-shirt' thing. If you try a bit harder and maybe hire a friend for a sunny afternoon with a few changes of clothes to take some creative pictures you can generally do better than 99% percent of guys in your 'range'. This is to say if you're a 7, you gotta date <=7s. This, like the speed of light, seems to be a hard constant of the universe.
>The busiest bus lines in NY run a bus every 2-3 min during rush hours.

Hmm. I double-checked; the lines I've depended on in Chicago and San Francisco get to 9-minute frequency at best. I guess this is another axis on which New York destroys the competition.
I'm really not trying to be dismissive here...but I think you're pointing out exceptions and not the rule. The vast majority of software jobs don't need 20 years of experience. 5-10 years is plenty.

I see what you mean that COM and Corba tried to unify programming across language boundaries. But they were not a low-level ABI type thing. They explicitly pushed a particular idea of what objects are and what they are for.

In any case, judged by the standard of becoming a universal ABI, they were also designed to "fail" in the sense that MS wasn't going too sit around and standardise it across operating systems, while the CORBA was a (feeble) response from the Unix world that no one expected would take off on Windows.

I believe that Dropbox doesn't really have poor intentions here: they're trying to make their product easy to use or work better or whatever. I don't think their intentions are malicious. However, I strongly disagree with the method that they use to achieve this: installing kernel extensions, bypassing Accessibility prompts, having a hooks in every process they could possibly get their hands on, etc. is going too far. There's a reason those checks are there: they keep the user safe. Trying to get around these is, in my mind, arrogant. They think that they're better than every other company that abides by the rules. Google Drive doesn't do this. Box doesn't do this. Even iCloud Drive doesn't do what Dropbox does.

I was talking to someone just two days ago, who was tearing their hair out because their application's "Open" panel took something like ten seconds to open. Why? Because the Dropbox extension decided it didn't want to play along nicely. It's foolish to think that your software will not have bugs, and outright foolhardy to do this for so little benefit.

Vapor is the likely winner in terms of Swift frameworks, but this does not say much.

The API's not stable, the framework is in very active development.

I imagine things will settle down in a year or two - until then, there are so many great alternatives (other languages), that I don't see Swift gaining much ground.

when housing markets collapse, the economy goes down and people loose jobs. when you dont have a job, you cant buy a house. one of the many reasons why housing market collapses are not refered to as affordable housing.

The people that really need to know how to insert a 500mb string will actually explain why they need to do so (beyond the typical “it doesn’t work”).

The ones that can’t explain why are almost always unaware of the actual problem they need to solve.
You're right. My guess is that on average a 40yo needs 2x the pay and brings 1.5x the value. So it's maybe not so drastic and there are benefits of hiring older developers (stay around longer, more reliable, etc).

I did 23 and Me but under a fake name. It correctly identified me as a 1st cousin with my cousin, whom I had no idea had already taken the test as well. It was very very spooky, and I can see how useful this would be for law enforcement. At some point in the future, you can drastically limit the number of people to search for based on DNA to a single family tree, if enough people submit their own DNA. It's scary.

It's exactly like your contact list. Facebook doesn't need you to give them your phone number. They just need 1 out of your 500 contacts to upload their entire contacts list so that they get your phone number. The law of numbers is completely against you and your privacy is already violated completely because one of your friends did it to you.

In any case, his point is to program Lisp in such a way as to build a "DSL" inside of Lisp and you then program your higher level concepts on that DSL.

100% this. To say that the author of the post — whose job includes knowing whether women and minorities feel particularly unwelcome or not, based on actual data and talking to them — must have invented this point is rather outlandish. Based on what?

An online community can’t possibly be less welcoming to women, for example... because it has screen names? Because people don’t express open disdain for women like they do for newbies? You don’t have to be an expert on this stuff to know not to rush to hasty conclusions, especially in the face of evidence.

I have been blessed that the last 3 projects I worked on (roughly past 3 years) were the most rewarding of my professional life.

- helping an education activist spread her new approach to kindergarten education. Not hard technically (built a static page website, a Discourse forum, and organized a few conferences). But judging by the educators' community feedback, it's the most useful I've been in my life per unit work

There's not another viable test though that can act on a shorter window than that. Companies aren't out of line for not wanting their employees to be working while under the influence of marijuana - the problem isn't that they're being too strict ('zero tolerance'), it's that they don't have a granular test that would suffice.

That, plus marijuana is still illegal in most states. Whatever your personal conviction may be, businesses aren't in the business to turn the blind eye to illegal substance use. They're on the hook for liability.

It's very disheartening to me that these are seen as exclusive options. I use Ubuntu because I want the "it just works" part that comes from being a very popular and commonly used distro, but I also need the customization, because I want my mouse and keyboard to do the things that I need to do, not what made sense to someone else. You mention that you enjoyed Unity, which I also do, but my Unity is heavily customized through CCSM. It seems based on your comment that this high level of customization did not detract from your ability to enjoy Unity, so why do you ask for no customization?

When we ask for customization, we're not saying that the default setup can't be usable, or that hours of tweaking should be required before getting started. We're saying that when there is a feature that doesn't behave as desired, we would like the option to modify it. "It works this way and that's final" is already well served by other operating systems, why do you feel Ubuntu should copy this?
people who have leveraged themselves to the hilt to buy expensive real estate and are just managing to pay the mortgage will be screwed, when their monthly payment doubles or triples they'll have to unload, at the same time as everyone else in the same position depressing the market - there will be crying, the gnashing of teeth, and bankruptcies among those who don't sell quickly enough.

Remember your parents bought their house and paid these higher interest rates, house prices were lower than now partly because people could only afford so much of a mortgage.

If you live in the US, where you can lock in a 30yr rate, and you haven't you need to do it now, if you live in the rest of the world where mostly you can't you're screwed
Disagree. Motor impairment is one issue, yes, but so is mental impairment. People under the influence of drugs can have poor decision making, even if their motor skills are fine. Driving on meth is still driving under the influence, and those people would generally not have any trouble with a roadside gymnastics demonstration.
There's something very sci-fi seeming about the idea of a huge battlefield from a long-ago war, still too contaminated with old poisons and weaponry to safely enter. Which nature has mostly reclaimed, except in dead zones so toxic that not even plants can grow there.

And yet, this is a real thing that happened, and is a part of our past. A generation who very soon will only be ancestors the living participated in battles so destructive that they did this to the land they were fought on. I find that difficult to fathom.

Of course, humans have only gotten better at killing each other since, and WW2 was more destructive overall. But the static nature of the Western front, combined with the unrestrained use of artillery and gas, and the total commitment of manpower on both sides in places like Verdun, gave its battles an apocalyptic intensity that I think is unmatched in any war before or since. And that, hopefully, we won't ever see again.
You're arguing against something that nobody said. Neither this post nor the people supporting this change on this thread and elsewhere have claimed that SO users admins or moderators are being explicitly or implicitly biased by race or gender in the way they are treating new users.

What they did say is that the general level of hostility leveled at all newcomers is something that users who are women and minorities frequently find unwelcoming and makes them feel uncomfortable about using stackoverflow at all.
