That's not the way a company works. A CEO is not dictator, and there are more paths to resolution than simply following orders or quitting.

Why then should the dictatorial mode be the way a non-profit or volunteer effort works?

Moreover, in a company it's the Board of Directors which delegates authority to the CEO. And the shareholders could override even them.

So if we interpret glibc as as a cooperative where the shareholders are also the developers and others working on the project, then certainly the shareholders could override management.

What is dependency shading in Java?
Yep, carplay was the sole deciding factor of my last car purchase and I've been happy with it since. There are some cars I've rented with absolutely horrific carplay integrations. Audi for some reason didn't use a touchscreen so everything is selected using their pretty terrible control wheel. A kia I rented turned on night mode on maps whenever the daytime running/parking lights were on - really weird. Nicest carplay I've had was a 2018 dodge charger. That screen they used was beautiful and huge.
I don't approve of the "full stack" mindset, or the term. I gave it the benefit of the doubt but I am past that point now.

The idea is that full stack engineers implement features "vertically" by maintaining various parts of a "stack" at the same time.

Sounds good, but often the result is bad. A web frontend is very resilient, whereas backends are the complete opposite. If you apply the same mindset on both it better be a backend mindset:

- what happens if you leak memory in a web page? well, eventually the user will navigate away, and all resources would be freed, making everything fine. You do it on a server? your server will eventually collapse.

- What happens if you don't handle an exception on a webpage? Not a lot. But on a server? many things can happen... you can crash a server process, leak memory, etc.

- Security is similar. Browsers have restrictive defaults whereas servers don't. And the list goes on and on.

This is why "full stack" to me is a red-flag. Full stack to me equates "competent at front end, has some knowledge about servers but requires supervision".
Maybe even helped them. Those tools create in informal atmosphere seem much more robust and useful than what the present day brings.

5 things I did that led me to an internship at Google
This reminds me of when I explained inverse functions to my kids. I was about to teach them to my grade 10 students and I wanted to use the Dr. Seuss book, The Sneetches to give an example. I asked my kids if I could borrow their copy. When they asked me what for, I told them and they ended up asking what inverse functions were. I similarly played a game where I told them what a certain function machine did and they had to come up with a machine that undid what my machine did.
That's why I specified orbit-to-orbit systems. The advantages there are immense.

When we finally do it, that's probably how it'll happen.

If I recall correctly, participants of Egypts Arab spring mentioned the same tactic to spread the information about the location of upcoming demonstrations. A few people took cab after cab and kept mentioning that a protest will take place that evening in place xyz. In a few hours the information had spread through the city.
I didn't indicate I don't understand their role. They don't understand mine. They seem surprised and offended when I'm short with them and say I can't talk right now when they call me in the middle of the business day to "just chat" about some property I hit "inquire" on (and expect me to remember their specific listing). They lack empathy and that's why so many are poor salespeople.
Well, “I’ve never had this problem” doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Wow then we need to annihilate the Gnus manual...
Sure it’s possible to do it when you’re not rich. It’s just a lot easier if you are. Like many things in life. :)
"a GNU manual, like a course in history, is not meant to be a 'safe space"

That blows my mind. Really? Why? A technical instruction manual should definitely be a safe place.
This is exactly what I've meant.

Ford doesn't compete with Land Rover, Mercedes and BMWs but deliver a good value-for-money nonetheless. Compare that to a Cadillac Escalade from GM: Worse quality than a Ford, priced at Mercedes level.
Maybe, maybe not. I think the core issue is that RMS doesn't believe in that strong "technical" vs. "political" separation - to him, the whole GNU project is a political endeavour, including all the tech in it.
I think it was a battle in the sense of "Amazon made Walmart pay a shitload and the Flipkart founders wanted the safest possible route to close because holy shit dat money"
No, I am suggesting that the only problem here is accounting. If you have a price on carbon, the rest will sort itself out. The lack of this cost being accounted for creates the false equilibrium where we plunder the environment to efficiently meet our needs within an otherwise well designed economic system - that is only made better by Bitcoin.

Would James Damore be spared if he claimed not that he thinks that women are whatever, but that he believes so?!
I don't think it's a matter of excusing, it's whether he has ultimate authority based on the fact that he created glibc and he's the head of GNU. Talking about excusing assumes he did something wrong, which is jumping the gun, since that's exactly what's being discussed.
Stallman has his problems. He is like Cassandra, talking, talking, talking for decades about dangers, they come true and still noone listens. Already in 2002 and 2010 he has expressed suicidal thoughts https://www.wired.com/2010/04/ff_hackers/all/1/

I am saying to help understand him not to say he is right here.
There is Amazon Pay too.
Is there really a clear line of authority between the glibc maintainers and RMS? It certainly doesn't seem like it. Authority decays, and RMS's is gone, over glibc at least. Compare with GvR: Guido is involved day-to-day, talks to people, makes decisions. No one questions whether he has power, because he uses it, although they certainly question the way he uses it.

I think the monarchy of the United Kingdom is good way to look at RMS's position here. On paper the monarch has a lot of power, but the reality is that they don't and trying to use it would provoke exactly the kind of crisis we're seeing here.
> then you have two seconds

Which takes us to 10 9s of reliability. Are there any computers with that level of reliability?

> The question is now, of course, whether only those <<10 s intervals count as the failure, or your entire approach to driving (e.g. driving while texting).

I thought about this all day. I feel that from the moment you can no longer avoid to accident (no matter what you do), until it occurs, is the correct timeframe to measure. Not sure what that number is though.

Say you texted, got in a dangerous situation, then corrected. Is that really a failure? It's a risk of course, and enough people doing that will increase the final death tally. But for each individual driver it's not a failure, if it's not a failure then you can not count it.

i.e. doing it any other way would be counting it twice: Once for those situations that actually caused an accident, and again for taking the risk.

Or put another way, taking a risk and winning is not a failure. (Otherwise where do you draw the line on what a risk is?)
He might not be the maintainer, but he is the BDFL. It's about respect. See what happened to Drepper who violated his respect.

I like the joke, and I sympathize with RMS to let it in. In any case he opposed it so there is now a power struggle about the control of his project. I would love to see a better maintained glibc btw. Too much politics, not enough competence.
I would be polliticaly on the oposite side from RMS on this one. But I also respect a good joke, and I wuldnt try to remove it, especialy of just because it might hurt some feelings.

About the leadersheep I am suprised why this came out only now. I wuld think that they have things sorted out after all this time. I think that RMS is still central figure in FSF
List of DNS record types
That still sounds pretty farfetched IMHO. You're basically saying that both the supervisor and a senior lawyer were on call at 10:30pm on some random day _and_ were immediately available upon request _and_ knew exactly what to do and who to call next _and_ the police were just twiddling their thumbs the whole time, despite there being a dead body on the scene. And lawyers/engineers can teleport from SF to Tempe somehow since there's no way they would've been able to fly in with that short notice so late at night.

If anything, I'd imagine that the police would be blocking access to the accident area and the car, especially to an alleged Uber employee trying to muck around with evidence without a government-sanctioned body overseeing forensics.

If I were to make a guess, I'd imagine it would've gone like this:

- "omg, I just hit someone"

- driver sees victim on the ground, panics and calls 911

- police and paramedics arrive

- police interviews driver, gets the account of the story, checks paperwork, get driver's information

- driver tries calling supervisor to escalate the issue (potentially unsuccessfully)

- paramedics declare victim dead, driver gets upset, body eventually is taken away while police tries to calm the driver

- tow truck arrives, takes car into police custody

- next morning, local police investigators look at the car in the impound, find the dashcam and look at the video. Uber ATG wakes up to the bad news and scrambles to figure out what went wrong and what to do next. The engineering team is still nowhere near Arizona and probably too busy wading through TBs of sensor/AI data to even remember there was a cheap dashcam installed in the car.

- Police releases a statement (w/ the dashcam video)

- NTSB gets involved in the investigation and gets in contact with Uber to understand how to acquire forensic data out of the SDV's databases.
Raspberry Pi Becomes Cycle Exact Commodore Drive Emulator
I agree with you. I think it's possible to ignore the content of the joke and examine the interplay between the glibc maintainers and RMS, and I think that's an interesting conflict all of its own.

But... there's also an unnecessary joke in the public documentation of an important free software project involved here, and I think it's also interesting (perhaps even important) to talk about the content of the joke, and if things like that are ok/productive/positive/offensive/bad/exclusionary in our world.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't really expect any discussion of this latter point to be particularly productive on HN. I don't say this with any amount of derision; I just feel that's the way it is.

(For the record, I say good riddance to that particularly unfunny joke, and I think it's worthwhile to remove dreck like that from our projects.)

From other comments in this thread, the correct number is actually 10 9's, not 7. So using the accident rate instead of fatality takes you to 8 9's.
I'm so jealous. In Canada, Amazon is pretty pathetic.

So many things are out of stock, or not available for purchase.

The few things that are available for purchase are sometimes only offered by third-parties, who jack up the price by an exorbitant amount.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-world_experiment
Again, I'm not refuting your claim, merely saying that doesn't preclude, or deny the claim you're responding to. History, while complex, and civilizations more points on a spectrum, than a closed system, doesn't prevent or deny the claim of a civilization claiming a unique, distinct, and separate identity that is used to claim the products of a society.

Nothing is original. If that's you're claim then it's not a valid argument, and doesn't really address the situation other introduce some existentially reductive platitudes.

Right. But when that happens what needs to be fresh in your mind is the sole idea that a person is put in charge of a team of people if they can coordinate those people to collaborate towards a solution. If that is not happening they're not doing their job... Meaning, it's their fault not yours.

More specifically, you need to be given actionable, specific feedback... hopefully without noise or personal, emotional drama.
I don't think you can have one without the other. GNU was successful in large part because of RMS's uncompromising position on issues both big and small. RMS is not, and never was, a "power-hungry dick". He just has strong and well-defined political views, and the GNU project was created to reflect those views.
There's nothing bad providing you're using the native language of the platform. With React you have to go through bridge code to communicate with the native controls. So there's a level of indirection to and from the native control. Flutter communicates with its widgets directly so there's no level of indirection. The other major advantage is that it compiles to native code so performance is always going to be superior.
Not to diminish his achievements but...

> you know he founded PayPal, right?

Confinity (Levchin, Thiel, Nosek, no Musk) launched PayPal in late 1999. X.com (founded by Musk) merged with Confinity in March 2000. In no way can Musk be considered a "founder" of PayPal.

> His first company was acquired by Compaq for almost half a billion.

Zip2? $340M. Nowhere near half a billion and that was in 1999 at the height of the ridiculous tech bubble.

Here is an avid Indian online buyer's point of view on this:

Flipkart was the favorite child of online commerce and had dominated the space in India in the first 5/6 years. I have been an active customer. They did bring on large deals, like Motorola Moto G and Xiaomi Mi phones launching exclusively in India through them.

But as with our modern connected world, competition is global. Amazon is a huge brand. Even in India the software developer world literally bets on AWS. Yes brand presence is a thing in marketing/sales psychology. Amazon started offerening faster deliveries and that I what, I think I remember, made me to switch initially.

Early days of Amazon in India were fairly low profile. The product catalog was poor. But if you keep a tab on global brands, you know Amazon is pretty much a predator in supply chain management. So they slowly built up their infrastructure. I still remember having debates a few years ago about which e-commerce player delivers to more PIN codes in India. Flipkart was still a winner a few years back, but that is now history.

I think Flipkart lost focus somewhere, got busy with I do not know what. Their deliveries did not get better. Amazon is a 900 pound Gorilla and very silently played their cards, got customer attention and sales. I easily remember how many Flipkart delivery boxes I used to see on the roads daily, which are now more in the Amazon brand these days.

Oh and one other thing: English is very common in India, at least in the urban consumer - so that makes us very aware of the US companies like Amazon (even Walmart) and when they enter India we do want to give them a try.
Ah fair enough. The few times I have seen this issue was when jumping on old Solaris SPARC boxes which also mangled the the backspace key in the interactive terminal.
So it sounds like I've put 2 and 2 together and gotten 5.

You are also assuming that the 4% of the worlds population in the US is representative of the world. Or imperial privilege as those of us who suffer from empire like to call it.

That you push your social issues on us as well as your armies adds insult to injury.

For me monitoring the logs is already too late to do anything about the hacking attempt. Usually web servers write logs after the request was served. One approach (I have seen commercial products do it) is to hook into the web server code and inspect every request real time before it hits the application servers and make a decision if it is a legitimate request or not.

RMS has always struck me as the kind of person you generally avoid, except when you can't because they're family, and when they say things you smile and change the subject. Where he's unusual is that the ranting isn't about minority groups or political parties, it's proprietary software.

Somehow, I had never encountered this argument before. This makes great sense.

It's not entirely clear how to put a price on carbon, though. And, bitcoin's censorship-resistance (which of course I laud as an amazing and important innovation) might make it harder to force everyone to account for externalities.

Is someone doing serious research, writing, and thinking on the relationship between crypto-blockchain tech and the economics of environmental externalities?
There are a lot of other people who have spent countless hours on glibc, also.
Self publishing is awesome because you keep all the money, but it takes years to build an audience.

I can totally relate to that. Some things about self-publishing were much easier than others. Building an audience is hardest so far. Experimented with Google and Facebook ads, stopped because it was too expensive.

Right now, I am only doing content (blog posts, ...) and Twitter. Sales are low, but I am not losing money anymore ;)

For my React-Book, that's OK. But with my other book about "Agile Anti-Patterns", I invested some money in Illustrations and other stuff: https://www.quickglance.at/agile_antipatterns.html So it would be nice to get that money back some time ;)

Email marketing is more powerful in this space than you might believe. Even today.

I stopped that, too, because it did not work too well for me. And also there are quite a few legal implication when you do that in my country (always have been, not necessarily GDPR related).

A gold standard does not imply currency pegs. I think we can all agree that pegs never work.

As for the panics etc. in the 19th century, yes they happened, and were usually the result of government monkey business with the economy. Note that with fiat money we've still had panics, depressions, and recessions, including the Mother Of All Depressions.

The last one was just 10 years ago.

> The gold standard can't stop price inflation

If it doesn't, then you don't actually have a gold standard. You have pegging a currency to gold, which is something quite different.
As a teenager I stripped nearly all the screws holding the crankcase of my motorcycle together before realizing that JIS was different from Phillips. Didn't help that most of the old steel screws had seized against the aluminium crankcase. After a few unsuccessful attempts with an impact driver, I ended up just welding nuts to the heads, waiting for the heat to soak, then then wrenching them off. Then threw the lot out and replaced them with something sensible - stainless internal hex head screws.
I guess the original theory for JIS was that its easier to replace a screw you've mangled then it is to replace the internal thread you stripped by over torquing it.
