The original experiment was WW2 - to be precise,normal Joes drafted into positions of power in conquered german territorys. There are no stories on large scale humanity rights violation beeing averted by sudden conciousness victiorious .

The experiments in that post-war context where mainly to understand the mechanism. And yes, average joe and jane, failed hard when it came to preserve basic humanity.
The article isn't about concurrency in general though. It's explicitly about the question of how coroutines are called and implemented. The article is specifically about one facet of concurrent programming that arises when you use shared memory multitasking.

I would imagine articles that focus on a small subpiece of concurrency are inadequate articles about concurrency in general, yes.

>Do we put huge amounts of effort into trying to teach bigots not to be bigots

I already replied to your other comment relating my work experience. To me, it's simple: no, you don't try to teach bigots better behavior, you reprimand them once (if their action wasn't too horrible), and after that you kick them out. Bad behavior can't be tolerated because of the effects you describe: it chases away other people. You don't need a "diversity initiative", you just need leadership willing to enforce some very simple rules of civility. If a project doesn't have that leadership, then find one that does.

>Do we eventually kick out the people causing the trouble, or the victims of it?

Again, you kick out the trouble-makers. Why is this a hard concept?

>the hacklab in my previous city where women and people of colour were regularly made to feel uncomfortable by one particular member, and nothing was done about it for months, directly losing us several potential new members.

Sounds like you (plural) needed to do something about the leadership, if possible. I'm not sure how your hacklab worked (is it privately owned, a non-profit, etc.? I don't know), but surely there was some upper management to complain to?

>The building it's situated in, up a number of flights of stairs, has lost us multiple members over the years, due to its inaccessibility to people with mobility issues - a problem to be solved, not ignored.

This sounds like a money problem to me. I've only seen a couple of hacklabs (and never got too involved) but basically they seemed to take over old buildings in a downtown area where the rent was really cheap (because the building was old), meaning these hacklabs didn't exactly have a lot of cash to spend on renovations. Putting an elevator into some old industrial building is not a cheap thing to do. If the organization doesn't have the money, they don't have the money. Would all the hackerspace members, yourself included, be willing to cough up $1000 to put in an elevator? I doubt it.

>A number of friends have received sexual harassment at conferences

This sucks, and unfortunately I don't know what you can do about that, because this isn't like a workplace or other organization where you can just identify the offenders and either discipline or eject them. It might be possible to identify them and raise their behavior with whatever organization they're representing (if any) at this conference.

Americans have an unhealthy relationship with work. It’s as if we live to work instead of the reverse. Our attitudes toward work seem to contribute to the irrational fear a lot of Americans have of some poor person getting something they don’t deserve via the welfare system. It contributes, I think, the our attitudes toward the justice system. We tend to seek vengeance over other considerations. Making one be punished is paramount. All work and no play not only makes Jack a dull boy it makes him angry and gives him an unhealthy perspective on life.

There is a "Brave" browser which is chrome with ad-blocker. But I prefer firefox on all mine devices because of syncing passwords, history and ability to send tabs from desktop to mobile devices.
I'm not so sure about your assertions here. AFAICT, the people I've worked with who are conservatives just generally wouldn't be that interested in working on a volunteer software project like that. They'd rather spend their free time with their fishing boat or something. I don't think they really care enough about software to get involved in a FOSS project. So I think FOSS projects may attract personalities that are more extreme than typical developers, with more personality defects.

But I completely agree about needing active management. I think this is true for any organization. You're just not going to get good results if you don't have some kind of leadership keeping people in line.

> We'll never have a chance to address that problem if we do not expand into the solar system.

Do you mean that we won't face the problem of completely occupying the Universe with our bodies in 9k years? Or the problem of facing a trade-off between reproduction and resources? If it's the latter, we most definitely will, and already are. I mean, the tautological answer that is actually informative is that we are already in the Solar System. We're already playing the reproduction/resource game and demonstrating our competency at it as a species. It's not looking too good, so far.

I don't understand what your comment is meant to accomplish? Is it to say that we shouldn't fix global warming? Is it to say that we should only consider leaving the planet?

Most open source projects lose money for the authors. There still isn't a good funding model for open source or open research. These tools are invaluable to developers, and open-source 'vaporware' is R&D.

Why would I want this? What's in it for me?

Why must there be something for you? The thing in it for you is the same as before: the plates. If they're no longer worth it for you, that's fine, but that's the same if the owner had kept the same model but simply raised the prices or reduced the size of portions. I don't see why that's "crap" or "inappropriate".

The only exception I see is people who already bought a plate; I fully agree they should be allowed to keep using it as-is for free, since otherwise that's a breach of an existing agreement. But there's no such agreement between the owner and prospective buyers.

I live in the suburbs, and I strongly prefer it here. Cities are cramped, noisy, dirty, and crime-riddled. I love having lots of space, and I'd honestly rather kill myself than live in an apartment ever again. And the last time I even _worked_ in the city (2014), I was subject to constant street harassment by homeless people begging for money and getting angry when I didn't pay them, and I was terrified I was going to get raped and killed some day.

If not having a vibrant social life is the price I pay for living in a place that doesn't make me want to kill myself, then I'll go ahead and pay that price. I miss having a vibrant social life, but I'd take not having one over not living in the burbs.

"Even Bill Gates, the founder and chairman of Microsoft Corp. and widely regarded as the crown prince of the World Wide Web, was taken unawares by the Internet's grassroots acceptance," writes Sharon Reier, identified by the Times as a freelance journalist based in Paris.

In his book, The Road Ahead, she adds "Mr. Gates admitted that he believed the technology for 'killer applications' was inadequate to lure consumers to the Internet."

At the time, Gates' company was devoted mainly to its Microsoft Office software suite. Though, as Microsoft's 1997 acquisition of WebTV Networks indicates, Gates was certainly coming around to the internet.

He later revised his book, which focused on the impact personal computing would have on the world, to include a chapter on the internet, added Reier. (Apparently, he wasn't sold on the idea that the internet would be a big deal at the time the book was initially published in 1995.)

Don't ask us - ask your board. Clearly they already have confidence in you, this opportunity came from your current work, and you would need capital anyway. So see if they will fund/find investors for it, whether they agree it should be separate, and see which effort they want you to lead. Maybe they will surprise you and let you run with the new thing, and bring someone new up to your current CEO role.
I worked in the Pepperberg lab as an undergrad. They are amazing animals, and working there was a wonderful experience, but I'd never have one as a pet. They're basically like 2 year olds in their behavior - selfish, demanding, destructive. Imagine having a toddler in your house every day for 60 years. It'd be brutal.
One thing I learned from "Winning friends and influencing people" is that when there's an argument, start by pointing out the things you agree with. "Yes, there was a bug. Yes, a bug caused it to freeze at an inopportune time. I agree that this was a terrible thing you went through."

Focusing on the "yes, I agree" areas helps you to connect with them and get on the same side. From there, they will be much more willing to reciprocate by listening to your side of things.
I am close to 40, and hang out with lots of people older than myself.

Health concerns are greater, most of us have at least one new-ish permanent/cyclical ailment.

The only way I feel like I can recapture youthful novelty is some kind of drug (beer, legal cannabis, psychiatric meds, etc), or certain kinds of physical/mental exertion.

Agree hugely that technology is less exciting and more simply tools, each with lots of complex tradeoffs. An interesting project is only about the tools until you can (as quickly as possible) stop thinking about them to focus only on the project. Projects are life.

People are the best projects, because they become 'new project spawn points' (and also for other reasons, heh). When you meet someone who is willing to continually work with you in exploring balanced mutual space to amuse and learn from/with each other, it's golden. Then you can take those skills back to refresh older relationships. We help each other grow, improve, recover and/or adapt, and when the shit hits the fan, nothing else matters more. Everything we love most in life requires other people in some way, they are the source of our core energy, our best protection and more.

As long as Google keeps pushing forward new useful features with Chrome, people won't care. Even more so if those new features get standardized within a few years. MS dropped the ball by resting on their laurels with IE6+ActiveX (plus the antitrust stuff scared them quite a bit) while the rest of the browser ecosystem innovated and standardized. If MS had instead kept leading the way, things could have played out differently. Instead I feel like we've gone back to IE6 days where there's one browser holding everyone else back, in this case mobile safari (and sometimes desktop safari) causes the most problems in things I work on. IE11 is more tolerable to support for me.

I still fight the good fight every now and again on respecting standards, though I get sad when it seems even the standards compliant browsers implement 99.99% of various standards but then each differ on the leftover .01%, leading to shims or workarounds for everyone. It's definitely better than it once was though -- http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ is one of my favorite sites.

It's hard because those are all organized events - in early years, you can just idk, throw some beer around and hang out, order a pizza, but as an adult there are Expectations that it's a set table, you cook yourself, you make sure your house is presentable, etc. When younger, you just hang out; as an adult it's almost like dating, you want to make an impression. It's a lot more formal because you're not poor anymore.

Can Kubernetes Revolutionize the Enterprise World?
From my POV, it's a race to the bottom. One publisher offered video ads so other publishers felt pushed to do the same.

There was a medium post here a few days ago about the eponymous extension "Adblock". Adblock offered advertisers a paid program ("Acceptable Ads") where their ads would be vetted and whitelisted. The blog post focused on the ethical and legal quandry of double dipping income (users and advertisers) but what you're talking about isn't unheard of.

How hard is it to sell a fixed <img /> tag or any block of text within an article? Sell it as "this content will stay there for as long as the page is published". The problem is that every major publisher has bought into centralized ad brokers.

Google and Facebooks of the world sell the idea that they can personalize ads better than content producers and so everyone relies on their trackers and javascripts to build content business online. Publishers should know their audience better than ad servers.

This is what is killing the business: content creators stopped caring about their audience.

You're right. Every single opinion need not even be considered either. But people should be allowed to hold it and you shouldn't disadvantage them in an unrelated field because of it.

I don't care if my coworker thinks that gay marriage is a sin. It is his right to hold that opinion. If he doesn't let it come in the way of his work it's fine. But that doesn't mean I am asking everybody to consider his viewpoint. If it is absurd enough for you you needn't worry about it.
There's a bunch fo websites (Atlantic being notable) that tell me I'm using an ad-blocker and ask me to turn it off. I'm not. I'm using stock Firefox.

So, I guess their conversation goes:

> We don't see many Firefox users

> Why do we optimise for Firefox?

It's mildly frustrating that they block users for dumb reasons. (Again, I'm not blocking ads). But it's only a mild frustration - there are a gajillion places to get news that are better than Atlantic.

This reminds me if the college freshman who starts freaking out about post-college life. They immediately regret the college they chose. They're chattering non-stop about the what classes are worth taking.

They later get two internship offers: one from a no name local place where the internship is data science (which they want), but the other is at Googazon Faceple chasing birds off the property. The student inevitably has a meltdown, because they want the prestige of a big four.

This isn't to say that there is inherently anything wrong with trying to min/max life. You'll have a better time (to a point) when you make more money. But let's not forget that if you're spending 5 years in misery for little gain, that's 5 years you aren't getting back.
