Definitely in great doses (or maybe not; see nolite's comment). And I don't think it would be far-fetched to say they were willingly blind (by greed) to future repercussions.

And now suddenly "wake up", after RSUs / stocks have vested, and cry foul: "Clashes over privacy...Values..."

To call it 'disingenuous' is putting it a bit too mildly.

Sorry if I'm too cynical on that; somehow I can't just seem to bring myself to assume good spirit in this case.

Project hosting sites should perhaps have a built in mechanism to make it easier to deal with these situations. Perhaps a dead man's switch that if tripped allows those with write access to the project to appoint a temporary replacement leader. If the missing leader returns he can reclaim leadership. If he does not return, then after a certain time has passed, the temporary leader becomes the permanent leader.

I've had the same experience though I don't use a special app, just regular audio recorder, as the phone I'm using for the call isn't my mobile. On every occasion that I've mentioned having a recording of terms distinct from what is actually being provided/charged I've received immediate escalation and resolution.

The funniest was with an ISP (who shall remain nameless) who claimed that they didn't have access to their copy of the previous conversation and thus couldn't confirm or honor the supposedly offered price. Once I mentioned that I had a recording the call resolved in about 1.5 minutes.

I do not see the danger of abuse. This is not about a takeover by someone entirely unrelated to the organization and repositories. This is about transferring ownership of an established open source organization to those who already have write-access to all repositories and are in fact now running the project. This seems fair when the original owner can no longer be contacted for months. Why should the organization be forced to fork because of this?

Don't people expect to be able to swipe on the screen these days? That seems more intuitive than indirectly controlling the screen via buttons.

> Ah, it seems to be people transitioning but doing so without the aid of a doctor.

No. The number one piece of advice on the site is to see a GP and endo for monthy blood testing of certain specific markers to ensure that everything is fine.

The reason the community exists is because for many people the local (and usually arbitrary) rules put on transitioning are ridiculous, and even after fulfilling those points the health service makes them wait typically over three years for hormone replacement therapy. Given that HRT is a critical aspect of treatment, and almost completely safe, for many people on /r/transDIY it's a hopeful alternative to ending it early.

(HRT has ridiculous rates of success compared to other contemporary medical treatments: https://twitter.com/GenderCareDrL/status/820672719473770496)

I had to stop myself while watching the S4E3 episode Crocodile near the end. Holy moly what a dark episode.
This is great news! This is one thing that eats at me when I work on most distros not being able to just run the latest of a language. At least Rust has rustup but I wish rustup was an official package on my distro at the very least?
> Register renaming, cache hierarchies, out of order and speculative execution etc are not visible

That's different from C.

In the history of x86, most new optimizations have preserved the semantics of code. For instance, register renaming isn't blind; it identifies and resolves hazards.

In C, increasing optimization has broken existing programs.

C is like a really shitty machine architecture that doesn't detect errors. For instance, overflow doesn't wrap around and set a nice flag, or throw an exception; it's just "undefined". It's easy to make a program which appears to work, but is relying on behavior outside of the documentation, which will change.

Computer architectures were crappy like that in the beginning. The mainframe vendors smartened up because they couldn't sell a more expensive, faster machine to a customer if the customer's code relied on undocumented behaviors that no longer work on the new machine.

Then, early microprocessors in the 1970's and 80's repeated the pattern: poor exception handling and undocumented opcodes that did curious things (no "illegal instruction" trap).

You translate it yourself ;) you're a programmer, go program!

More seriously, the main classes of bugs TLA+ defends against are logic hole bugs and concurrency bugs - spec/design bugs, the most insidious kind! That's what AWS used it for; there is no machine-enforced correspondence with the code. People get really hung up on this, but after they try to formally verify something they see the wisdom of the separation. Proving code correct is extremely time-intensive. In contrast TLA+ gives you great bang for your buck.

And to repeat - translating a TLA+ spec to code is not an error-prone process and is well, well within the grasp of software engineers.
What's Coming Up on MISOGI Radio? Amazing People Leading Amazing Lives
It sounds like they were having trouble doing their job because their corporate IT decided it was more important to intercept all TLS/SSL traffic on the corporate network than to allow software developers to do their job securely.

They weren't MITM attacking people outside the company, just MITM attacking their own employees.

I feel that pain, quite often (and am slowly losing a war on it at my current employer, sigh). TLS/SSL Interception Proxies are scum that make the internet overall less secure for a weird sense of security by corporate IT departments.

As a software developer, it's my job to make sure that no one is MITM attacking me so that the code I download to incorporate into projects is safe and secure. I can't check if a bad actor is MITM attacking me when my own employer is MITM attacking me.
> 12 weeks of fully paid maternity leave and 4 weeks of fully paid paternity leave

Just out of curiosity: why the difference between maternity leave and paternity leave?
Absolutely, totally agree. Prison should only be used when someone absolutely must be removed from society in order to keep the rest of the population safe; I think many people currently in prison should be in some sort of rehabilitation program instead.
HAL is personlly my current favourite, it seems to add the minimal overhead on top of JSON whilst adding in links.

> JSON-LD is a significant cognitive leap to reason about

I fully agree. JSON-LD requires first some kind of idea about RDFa which I didn't even know was a thing until reading up on JSON-LD.
The other major limitation is that forking the encoder state significantly inflates the number of reference buffers you need to keep, which greatly increases memory requirements. That's not much of an issue for software, but it can be a significant problem for hardware (a lot of real-time interactive encoding is still done purely in software, however).
