> No one needs any better argument. It's unprofessional

I do. If you want professional, there are plenty of professional proprietary vendors out there. Or if you insist on Free Software, probably the BSDs are more professional.

GNU is a social project first, with quality and professionalism being secondary considerations.

The whole argument is about the removal of a statement against censorship (interpreted by some as an "abortion joke"). Of course a GNU project shouldn't remove such a thing for reasons of "being professional". I agree with rms here.

On the other side is the scope. Why is rms being so difficult here? Even though I think he's right, why not shrug it off? Why even bother?

I would disagree with rms here, were it not that in the past he's often been ridiculed for being quirky and irrational about minutiae, and yet here we are, with Facebook and Google controlling the internet, each one of us carrying a personal tracking device and loving it, and e-books being deleted remotely from devices we thought we owned.

So maybe this silly, trivial disagreement about some documentation is more important than I give it credit for at this moment.

rms is known for being difficult, not for being wrong.

I don't really understand the argument that employers should recruit absolutely fairly. Humans are always biased. If there was some AI based solution that would deal jobs absolutely fairly it would negate this, but there isn't, so the only alternative to smart human based hiring is dumb bureaucracy based one.

The large scale discriminatory criteria of gender, race and age should be accounted for but beyond those constraining who you should vouch for sound extremely constraining.

I understand the argument, and I think the effect you suggest is plausible - I'm not just convinced it's such an effect that could or should be accounted for (mainly because I have no idea what process beyond blind bureaucracy could do this).
Glibc spent over a decade under Ulrich Drepper, who many viewed as a dictator. This resulted in forks and major linux distributions no longer using glibc. About 6 years ago, Drepper was removed and glibc moved to "cooperative community development"[0].

The community spoke and said they did not like dictators in development of glibc. Since Drepper's removal, many would agree that the quality of glibc has increased significantly. RMS is well aware of this and the delicate political situation. He should recognize that coming in and declaring himself in charge would not play well with a community that stated about their maintainers following Drepper: "This does not confer any extra ability to make decisions for the project; community consensus is what matters there."

That's not right. What you said about US law and protected classes is correct, but just because something is made law does not mean people should believe it or not. Gay marriage was illegal: people questioned that law and now it is being changed in many places. The user you replied to is not necessarily wrong nor making false statements; they just disagree with the status quo you described.

"mindfulness" is precisely the parts of spirituality that could nicely be packaged and sold to people that feel there's something missing from their lives.

Outside of ReSharper causing issues, I can't say I've ever had any major issues with Intellisense being unreliable.

If anything, Intellisense is often referred to as one of the best features of Visual Studio, and why people consider it to be one of the best IDE's for developer experience.
I'm far from knowledgeable on the technicalities of economics (I'm in the software engineering business), but observing the dialogue that takes place between economists and seeing the results, its hard to accept economists actually make effort to factor this in, my experience is that they are only reacting to public outcry.

I find it hard to believe they even have the tools to factor environmental impact into their models. (don't tell me factoring damage due to sea rise as a "tool".)

So I agree that the system was insufficiently tested to be operating on public roads and endangering lives, and that lack of testing was negligent; I also agree with your comment about their engineering culture.

But those two points seem distinct from the idea of disabling a system in order to have a better understanding of what's going on. Suppose they had built a car that was safe, conditioned on the presence a black box system that they likely didn't have access to the internals of - would this be satisfactory?

It's meant to "simulate scientific research", sorta: one player ("God" or "Nature") comes up with a secret rule for what cards are legal to play in a given situation, and then the other players take turns playing cards to figure it out. It's a lot harder than you think, even with quite simple rules. (The scoring system is meant to reward a "God" player for coming up with a rule that's not obvious but still guessable.)

I agree with your comment about quality hardware. I don't have fancy locking tuners, I only have a vintage Fender Telecaster with old-school Kluson "split shaft" tuners where the end of the string is bent and inserted into the shaft. Once you get used to properly stringing the guitar (it helps if you change strings often), it's not hard to avoid string slippage or going out of tune. The trick is to have enough winds around the post and for the windings to wrap progressively lower on the post until the string leaves the post lower than the nut.

Here's a great video on stringing up Klusons: https://youtu.be/GqYrXh4D6wI

This is the problem with social laws. It's easy to see things from our own perspectives, without considering that what 'we' consider perfectly reasonable can be perfectly offensive to another individual. One of the most crucial issues in forcing people to engage in behavior that they find offensive is that it goes both ways.

I think this is pretty much a constant in every system of human organization that's ever existed.
I always assumed one day I will just turn lazy enough to stay at one thing, not sure how true this will turn out to be.

However I too never stop thinking about new stuff, and after years of fails I just optimized a workflow that works for me to not waste a lot of time on unprofitable ideas.

Usually when something works I get offers pretty soon, I never thought about keeping projects once I feel 'done' with them. It seems logical that there are people who prefer to run a working business and that others rather start new ones.

> For example, in NYC, there's nothing at all uncommon about a pedestrian beginning to cross the street in front of you and approaching the area of your lane where you will shortly be. Pedestrians typically then stop about a foot away from your lane, let you drive past them, and then continue walking. If a car slammed on the brakes in this situation, it would likely cause more accidents than not braking would cause.

> On the contrary, in Tempe, a pedestrian starting to do the exact same thing as above is likely much more a case of them not realizing your car is coming at all, in which case slamming on the brakes is appropriate.

And in many SEA country you're expected to just drive around a pedestrian crossing the road (or a cow lying on it).

I'm a big fan of those Kluson tuning machines that were on the early Fenders. In terms of design it's a case of "they got it pretty much right the first time." It's superior design and simplicity (split shaft). They are easy to use once you get used to stringing them up, and I've found they don't go out of tune. They are small, light, streamlined, and the oval grips are aesthetically pleasing from an industrial design perspective, particularly when set off against the Telecaster or Stratocaster headstock.

If your house burns down, there is a reasonable chance of recovering, eg, gold slag. Not so much chance of recovering the markings that were on that gold before.

It is difficult to compare the durability of gold and bitcoin. It does seem plausible, given the length of time we've been using it, that gold's value is completely related to its intrinsic properties and difficulty of mining.

Bitcoin can't possibly be valued on its intrinsic properties, because I can fork the entire technical edifice, start a new blockchain called it Bitcoin+1, and the fork will have no value vs the original.

Anyway, I don't think our discussion is going to arrive anywhere.

You ask for Krugman (who is a guy that I like by the way) opinions:

For me, what he says there is in clear contradiction with (for instance):

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S105752191...

It seems to me that whatever it is what they put in their textbooks, even more important is what they put in their models.

Here there is a good criticism of Krugman views:

But if they didn't solve it, we are not going to neither.
I should probably let this go as it's off topic, but I don't understand the description of this incident:

- Was this on 280, or near 280?

- If the car that hit the deer was 3-4 cars ahead and you could see the deer "run across an entire field", why was "there no way the driver could see what you saw"? I'm trying to imagine what sort of obstruction could block the drivers view but not yours.

- How fast was the car going?

- How long did it take the deer to "run across an entire field"?

- Normally deer are active around sunrise and sunset and bed down during the day (source: deer hunting). It seems odd to see a deer in running in "broad daylight".

Graphics cards and ASICs are high up front cost and ongoing electricity cost that forces them to geographical areas with cheap electricity. Disk based systems are still up front cost, but substantially less cost to operate. Chia style nodes could be very low compute/electricity overhead and could potentially run off raspberry Pis on solar or using spare storage on mobile devices that are already powered on for other uses.

Yeah I find young naive devops people implementing security watching and stuff like fail2ban but in the long run it reduces productivity. Stuff like fail2ban can block legitimate traffic (it blocked me on many occasion trying to work from home).

When I was young I too used to try implement detection and banning but realised it's a waste of time. Key only access to ssh and make sure you at least subscribe to security updates for all packages is enough.

For our own app we went the ELK route due to the number of log messages coming from our own application. But yes as you said it's a pain to manage. Also creating kibana graphs/views/desktop for each type of log is also painful.

A good service I believe would be someone to offer a turnkey/shrink wrapped managed ELK for self hosting. Not only managing the system side of it, but also offering services to help create custom kibana graphs.
> If you have to join all the the jobs at the same time (which is pretty inflexible), how is the ordering of the results determined?

The model is that you can start a sequence of jobs to run in parallel, and then you have to wait for them all to finish. You get the results in the same order as the jobs you created. The order can't vary.

Think about a diamond shape - one job create two more jobs, and then they both send their results to the original job which cannot continue until all child jobs are finished.

> because that seems like the most useful/basic interface

Yes useful and basic, but the problem is it makes it easy to cause race conditions, which is where this thread started! You think you'll get some some thread being ready first so you write code assuming that without even thinking about it, and then once in a trillion you actually get the other result first. Yes, it's a programmer bug, but the point is because it's non-deterministic they may not notice until the one time it actually matters and someone dies.

No, even though this seems like exactly the kind of thing which should offend right wingers, the "political correctness" involved isn't right-leaning - that's the most astounding thing about this. The objections to including this are fundamentally feminist, left-leaning ones about how it could be "triggering" to women. This doesn't even seem to be a case of the right adopting feminist language as they sometimes do - its removal is backed mainly by left-wing campaigners like Matthew Garrett, some of whom are implacably opposed to the idea that free software should even be welcoming to people with right-wing views.

Somehow, using the glibc documentation to attack US anti-abortion policy offended not the right wing, but the modern feminist left; ironically enough, the same folks who believe that everything must be political and that any developer who doesn't care about politics is an active enemy of the cause.
