Kubernetes is relatively easy to contribute to, but that almost seems incidental. IMO The reason why Kubernetes sees lots of outside contribution is because Red Hat, Microsoft & IBM et al recognize that it's in their best interest to contribute to Kubernetes and to apply technical and business pressure to ensure that Kubernetes doesn't become a silo.

I have no idea why this didn't happen for Android. Samsung & LG have spent a fortune on Tizen & WebOS, and would have been a lot better off with a truly open Android. Whether that's their fault or Google's is hard to tell, but I suspect that answer is "both".

I think having an expectation about someone's further political beliefs based on information about some of their political beliefs is a little less unethical than presuming criminality, my friend.

But you're right tho, I think it's easier to cut out the middle man and dismiss his concerns because I think his concerns are shit, regardless of his other politics.
If I were starting a business in 2018 or consulting with someone who was doing an infrastructure migration, I couldn't in good conscience tell them to go to GCP. The support infrastructure isn't as good - ie people who have experience.

There is a lot to be said about choosing the default. I've been a .Net developer for over a decade, but when I started looking into Lambda for instance and saw that it looks like most people were using Node and to a lesser extent Python, I begrudgingly started learning Python. In hindsight, I'm glad I did. I'm actually starting to like Python and I usually hate scripting languages.

Besides, for my own selfish reasons, why would I spend time on the cloud platform that is the least marketable? Companies are asking for AWS and to a lesser extent Azure experience. Very few are asking for GCP experience.

> 32bit chars and 64bit shorts are theoretically possible

Indeed. I worked at Cambridge Silicon Radio. Their Bluetooth chips often had two processors: a XAP for the BT stack and a Kalimba DSP for audio processing. They had 16-bit and 24-bit chars respectively. About 1 billion such chips have been sold, so it's not just some wacky architecture invented by a mad bloke in a shed.

Becoming overweight is a slow problem, something that happens over the course of years. The solution is also slow: changing food behavior and keeping that up for a long period of time while resisting all kinds of temptations and pressure from a body that has gotten accustomed to a certain way of being and resists change.

Humans (or at least this human) are not good at dealing with slow problems. We like to fixate on immediate, discrete threats.

Also there's a global industry that profit s from people being addicted to cheaply produced unhealthy food.
It's a thought-provoking comment for sure, but it makes a number of invalid inferences.

> This is not to say that your particular choices are wrong. It’s just you are already engaged in “non-technical”, political work

A non-technical choice does not entail a political choice. In particular, such choices aren't always about managing "power", which is what politics is about.

> With limited time and resources, you will have to make tradeoffs in your code, documentation, and community about which people your software is supportive and hostile towards. [...] At the community development level, your intentional and forced choices around language, schedule, pronouns, and even technical terminology can make contributors from varying backgrounds feel welcome or unwelcome

I don't think this argument is sound. "Not supportive of" does not entail "hostile". Choices surrounding language, schedule and technical jargon does not entail how welcoming a community is.

This is an overly simplistic viewpoint that's typically indicative of a conflict theory mentality, but is not how good open source projects typically function. If you're ready and willing to be helpful:

1. if you don't know the jargon, people often help you learn it

2. if you don't fit the schedule, people will often help accommodate your efforts

3. if you don't speak the language, people who do will often assist, but if no such person exists, then that's just an insurmountable problem given limited resources

> Consider: you wish to take only the best developers, and yet your post has already discouraged good engineers from working on your project. Doubtless it has encouraged other engineers (who may be quite skilled!) with a similar political view to your own; those who believe, for instance, that current minority representation in tech is justified

This conclusion just doesn't follow. You can oppose some inclusion efforts in tech and yet not accept that current minority representation is somehow justified. The above argument blatantly begs the question that inclusion efforts a priori ethically justified, except the ethics of such efforts is precisely the dispute.
Keep in mind that the Nobel prize comes with an approximately $1 million USD cash award. It's not just a fancy gold medal.
There are lots of tests for quantum mechanics, it’s probably the most rigorously tested theory in physics.

Some parts of quantum theories are inferred, but they’re inferred from data collected in reproducible tests. Also, any part of quantum theory that hasn’t been confirmed by experiment has scientists working to do just that. If something was untestable and thought to never be testable in the future, then it wouldn’t be considered science.

That's a lovely post. I've moved around a lot when I was a kid so I always ended up tearing things apart and putting them back together in new configurations. I'd feel right at home in that room.

> And then you have users who always go to the same PF Changs but use navigation in case there is traffic and they should use an alternate route. Your competitor app will learn this and adapt and yours won't.

Your conclusion doesn't follow from your premise.

Once a user navigates to a specific PF Chang's from a specific location, the navigation app can suggest an alternate route that takes into account traffic, regardless of whether that user has a history or not.

In your scenario, the history of the user data would not affect the ability of the app to suggest routes that are less trafficked.

> Analog computers were just digital computers with a different computational paradigm.

No, there are fundamental differences. Digital computation is inherently error correcting because there are only two states — on or off. With analog computing, errors compound over long times and there’s fundamentally no way to fix this (it’s not just “hard”, it’s theoretically impossible). That’s why analog computation is fundamentally limited in scale, it can’t handle complexity through abstraction. Modern computer science is fundamentally tied to digital computation. This is also why evolution relies on a digital (albeit not binary) storage medium (DNA), and if we every have useful biological computation, it will likewise be digital.
That’s all fine and we’ll, but I’m not mentioning Taubes for his carbs hypothesis (btw, he goes to great pains in Good Calories, Bad Calories to make sure the reader understands that his hypothesis could be wrong because it is also lacking the necessary type of study to demonstrate it’s effectiveness). I’m linking to him because he has important stuff to say about the limits of epidemiology, in general, and the terrible state of nutrition science, more specifically.
I think this is correct. Since _solidAllowed is set to false at the beginning of Code(), it will remain false if an exception occurs in the middle of decoding (CVE-2018-5996). This will enforce PpmError being set to true for the next item, which in turn will enforce the (possibly broken) PPMD state to be reinitialized. In some sense, this means that the new bug fix is a generalization of the first one, fixing both CVE-2018-5996 and CVE-2018-10115.
Doesn't that already happen when you upgrade to a new device?
Oddly, those two are not unrelated.

I assume you are drawing your opinions from practitioners in random dojos in strip malls and from the Internet. But the same can be said about most karate and tai chi studios. Yet no one disputes that there are karate and tai chi practitioners who are very proficient fighters.

The problem is that they push "standards" but the implementation of the standards often does not function as written.

Typically standard bodies avoid this by requiring two independent implementations, but the market situation really means that the standard is what Chrome implements, and nothing else.

> The process of deploying code to production is very simple, and takes about ten minutes total. This results in a life cycle in which we deploy code to production approximately 100 times per day.

What? They spend 1000 minutes out of every 1440 deploying to production? The deployment process is occurring over 16 hours out of every 24? Am I the only one who is nonplussed by this?

EDIT: Ok I get it, I get it. I guess I always worked in much smaller companies where CD meant deploying about 10 times a day tops. TIL big companies are big.

How  Understanding Employee Engagement Boosts Motivation
Hi everyone,

I spent the last 8 months working on a web analytics app that is completely self-hosted.
First it was just as a small side project - but then I more and more liked the idea and added feature after feature.

I wanted to have a web analytics tool that I could easily set up on a new project, that is easy to use, provides an appealing user-experience and combines all the features of "classic" analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics) with functionalities like Heatmaps (so I only have to use one tool). Furthermore, I wanted to have full control over all my data.

I was so pleased with how everything came out that I decided to give it a try and make it a product (321 Analytics).

So the first version of 321 Analytics is finally ready and I wanted to share it with you.

I would be very happy to hear your thoughts and appreciate any feedback or suggestions for improvement.

It was back in the vanilla wow days. I was active over at some german run wow hacking forum, did some reverse engineering, and posted about finding the values being stored client side in ram. A few months later someone did it... and then it was patched almost immediately. It's entirely possible they weren't related and whoever did it found the values themselves, but that's not as fun a story to tell myself or others so I stick to my version.

Now you have me feeling all nostalgic for the day wow went from beta to live... and those early vanilla days of 40 man raids.

Well, that sucks.
Differential Privacy and anonymous-but-unique identifiers are disjoint methods of protecting privacy. Per TFA, they appear to be using the latter.

And WRT differential privacy, if enough data is captured and associated with a single identifier, then it's sufficient to get a pretty good idea what the user actually does. That's the point of differential privacy in the first place, since it indicates that a statistically meaningful amount of the data is valid.

For example, if my user id has five visits out of 1000 DP recorded visits to google.com, it's unlikely that I actually visited google.com. However, if there are 200 recorded visits, it can be safely said that yeah, I intentionally visit google.com.
I think the fact the deck doesn't have many repeats of 9s. It has lots of repeats of 5s which causes merges and the other numbers will eventually merge. You have 4 each of 6,7,8,9. If you repeat 9 4 times there will be no more 9's and it will merge.
C'mon dude, it obviously doesn't require everyone in the company to spend 10 minutes for each deployment, it takes one person 10 minutes to deploy one thing.
