Of course it's bullying. It's also a thing that happens in reality.

Imagine that it's a paying client. You can't go run to HR. You can't just say "take your money and leave". It's not ideal, but yeah, you're going to have to deal with this level of conflict and confrontation sometime in your life. (Heaven forbid you go through divorce negotiations, like the author; "your crap is crap" is probably the nicest thing you'd hear all day.)

You also assume that the attacker's words are rooted in fact. One strategy that 'warriors' intentionally use against others is to undermine them and make them feel threatened. It works remarkably well against tech people because we put so much importance on our skills.

It's uncool, but it happens. Better that you be prepared.

This is good. We need to get back to letting prices do their thing and provide the proper signals to the publisher/producer and the reader/customer. Pricing helps producers clarify who they want to their customers to be, and it helps customers clarify exactly what they do or don't actually want.

Someone already mentioned software subscriptions and Adobe Photoshop, in the context of professionals vs hobbyists. If Photoshop is too expensive, then someone will create an alternative that is cheaper. That's basically what happened with shareware in the 80s and 90s. When proper price signals are in place, the market will adjust and new opportunities will be created for entry-level players that want to address gaps in the product offerings.

Finally, in terms of accessibility: remember that there are insitutions called libraries that are the great equalizers when it comes to accessing paid content. For many years now one can go in and read any magazine or newspaper that one could want, without paying a dime. If you find yourself complaining about content subscriptions, you might be better served by making sure that your local library is fully-funded.

I have tremendous respect for Bill Gates, but who the heck thinks of him as "crown prince of the world wide web"? He famously admitted to getting his "butt kicked" on developing the web's most important monopoly [1]. While he was prescient within MS of realizing the web's importance [2], he misunderstood what type of competition would drive it's growth and let companies like Google succeed.

Let's give Gates credit for the right stuff:
- Realizing the powern of the OS to be gatekeeper to a new consumer and Enterprise market.
- Recognizing and duplicating (while eventually improving) key adjacent tech, like GUI and the office suite.
- Most importantly, his extraordinary later life philanthropic initiative, putting not just cash but judgement (real "smart money") to work on important problems.

That probably works for crosswalks at intersections, but there are other crosswalks with lights. I found a really nice one that turns the lights yellow as soon as you push the button.
Was thinking the same thing. This would increase my chances of failing builds.

It would be way more effective if you were donating straight to a competitor, or a political organization you do not support at all.
Given that Jägermeister is something that, in Germany, old and staid people drink to aid their digestion after a meal, it never ceases to crack me up that Americans a) pour it in their beer, and b) think that's a sign of youthfulness :)

But there's no accounting for taste. We have liverwurst in Germany, after all ;)
You may have a point there.

However, another reading of these facts could be that they the maintainers are human and have limited bandwidth to deal with such problems. If you observed that there was a high frequency of erroneous complaints that wasted your time citing "reverse-isms" you would be right to exclude them. Similarly if a lot of people wanted to try and bring you into debates that you didn't feel were productive, you would also ban those discussions.

I'm sure if they similarly experienced any cases where, say, cis white men were genuinely discriminated against, they would then revisit the code of conduct.

I tend to think code of conducts try and say that a community will be accepting and inclusive of people within it. They are made by people with limited bandwidth trying to do their best to deal with discrimination and harassment problems as they come up.

> So if someone white or asian, straight or "regular" gay, of regular sex, or whatever are explicitly excluded from a community initiative and someone finds that objectionable, their COC says that kind of racism and sexism is OK.

Here is the crux of the matter. Their code of conduct does not explicitly ban the behaviour you outlined. I would not say that the code of conduct says that is ok. The code of conduct does not explicitly ban fox hunting, but I do not take it to say that it condones that. If the group started to have a problem with fox hunting disrupting all of the planned work and activities it would move to stop that.

To me it sounds like the group may have started having a problem with people wasting time by trying to incorrectly cite "reverse-racism" e.t.c. as a method of causing harrassment and moved to stamp it out. Seems very reasonable to me.
It's ironic you gave communism as a counter example to power attracting charlatans.

Every time I read something on Chrome for Android I cringe. The web on my laptop and the web on my cellphone are completely different universes. One is enjoyable and usable. The other is a nightmare of blinking GIFs and misleading layout-breaking ads. I'm reminded of this fact every time I try to read something while commuting to/from work. If I ever felt any guilt about using ad blockers (hint: I don't), this would help erase it forever.

Five reasons why you shouldn't use Google collaborative inbox
A giant 360 LED clock
Have you considered that perhaps a fucking text editor doesn't need a team of five employees? This isn't a brain-surgery guidance program, it's a Markdown text editor that uses a sync system written and operated by somebody else.

Users are balking at the price because it's garbage to expect them to support some gigantic business for a simple thing. This is very common (1Password has over 75 employees!!!) and the sense of entitlement developers have to try to force their users to support a grandiose business, no matter how bloated and unnecessary the people are, isn't sustainable.
It strikes me in a weird way that power users are brought up in one of the comments as the main users of Firefox. It's obviously a major stretch to argue the counter-argument, that Chrome and others must be mostly used by casual users, but the idea that those people are somehow more accepting of bullshit UX is, well, just wrong. They are either even more frustrated, not knowing how to deal with it, or have already developed habits to sieve the noise out, definitely not bringing any additional advertisement revenue.
I think the idea is to be able to use tmux in different layouts, configured by simple plaintext. I'll try it out.
Chrome should have some UI that shows that the tab is muted, and they should have a control somewhere so the user can un-mute the page. Currently when I go to one of those pages, there's no way for me to unmute the page at all.
I could see that before IE was under fire from the justice department.

Internet Explorer became the new dominant browser, attaining a peak of about 96% of the web browser usage share during 2002, more than Netscape had at its peak.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_wars

Browser incompatibilities:
The plaintiffs in the antitrust case claimed that Microsoft had added support for ActiveX controls in the Internet Explorer web browser to break compatibility with Netscape Navigator, which used components based on Java and Netscape's own plugin system.
On CSS, data:, etc.: A decade after the original Netscape-related antitrust suit, the web browser company Opera Software has filed an antitrust complaint against Microsoft with the European Union saying it "calls on Microsoft to adhere to its own public pronouncements to support these standards, instead of stifling them with its notorious 'Embrace, Extend and Extinguish' strategy".[13]

This is a totalitarian publisher's wet dream, to strongarm users to pay them or look at they ads whether they like it or not. If somebody's using adblockers, they're not going to be converted by your ads either way. If you introduce bothersome mechanisms preventing me from interacting with your website on my terms, I'm just going to leave and never come back.

This is exactly why we need Firefox and other browsers, so that Google can't dictate what the web has to look like. They'd like to ideally introduce a tracking id in everything you ever do everywhere, it's up to us to stop them.

Anyway, no matter what kind of mechanism is introduced, there will be an equal and proportionate response to mitigate it within a week. You can't force people to watch ads they don't care about, and that's it. The sooner you accept it, the smaller losses you'll incur.
This discussion makes me wonder why I haven't seen more server side ad solutions that render ads into a page in a way that's harder to detect or block. Of course, advertisers could find ways to abuse that too and then adblockers would have to up their game. I think the best strategy is to render a fallback into your page that looks like an image related to your content and then replace that image on they fly with unobtrusive ads that respect the user experience. If people block the adds they'll see the fallback which is an opportunity to plead your case to users and ask for donations, subscriptions or permission to show respectful ads.

This isn't a way of learning programming. It's a way of learning about the variation in the language design space.

That includes teaching the very point you're talking about. There is nothing in the mystery language approach that precludes having programs whose behavior is non-deterministic, and this would then show students to prepare for it. Indeed, it's an excellent kind of mystery language, by providing a sandboxed version that can focus precisely on non-determinism.

(I will not reveal whether such behavior exists in the current suite or not, to avoid giving away solutions.)
Companies simply get better leads with tracking. You don’t really know about your audience when you are online, because there are so much traffic and so many users.

Ha ok that's true. Ad breaks are long, superimposed ads exist, and sponsored content is a thing. Maybe "less intrusive" or even "predictable" is better language. I'm thinking of moments where you're scrolling and you get a pop-up that you can barely figure out how to close. You go to click a link and the page moves, whether by accident or not, because of an ad loading there. Autoplay ads (and other videos) that make me instaclose, etc. TV is at least predictable.
I've met a lot of British people who did humanities undergrad degrees followed by something more commercial like Software/Law/Finance for a masters. Is that really common? Looking back I think I'd have loved to have done that.
Lots of working class mums that are young and single, literally paid to breed and live off benefits, which increasingly is creating a big underclass. The richer are having fewer kids.

Depends how much you donate.

Another approach is donating to a charity you despise. Some friends of mine use a mutual donation pact to get things done. Each sets a goal they need to accomplish by the end of the month, and hands the other a signed check for $50 for a charity or political campaign they hate. If they don't accomplish the goal, the other person drops the envelope in the mail.

It's very effective. :-X
Because you don't need to manage any servers.
Some of the changes in this build augmented the existing options for filtering files and folders. In addition to completely removing node_modules, you can cause it to be ignored from Goto Anything by marking it as "binary", or exclude it from indexing if you don't want Goto Definition and Goto References to show for that. 3.1 also adds the ability to specify all of these filtering options per-folder. See https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/projects.html for the details.

My plan is to get .gitignore working natively in a future dev build. I have definitely heard the request from a number of users, and I can appreciate why people would want that option.
Adding new arms in a bandit problem doesn't pose a problem for most bandit algorithms. Any of the common algorithms will handle it just fine. Arms disappearing is more interesting, as that effects the explore / exploit tradeoff. It's been a while since I was studying bandit algorithms but
"Mortal multi-armed bandits" is one paper that addresses this.

Number 2, spot on the with precious gem as Hinduism also teaches this human life comes once after many many births in different bodies so we should use it to find our real purpose.
I also think that, when I think of the beneficiaries of the giving as real people and not abstract "lives improved/saved," then "donate now" seems more compelling.

Certainly I could not tell a potential beneficiary to their face that I'm saving the money for the unlikely possibility that I need it myself, but it's fine because if it is too late for them by the time I donate I will probably be able to help someone else just as much or more at that time.

Along that same line of thinking: if my siblings desperately needed financial help and I could afford to give it to them, I would surely not keep the money out of a desire to have more later that I could give to my nieces and nephews.
The Loneliness Project
In this case perhaps it would make sense for students to learn Rust first. Much of what is undefined behaviour in C/C++ is a compiler error in Rust (perfect for this approach).

Students can then move on to C/C++ using a different approach, but already having learnt most of the concepts.
Students who do these assignments spend a lot of time trying to distinguish between these mystery languages, and writing program after program that fails to tell them apart. The next day in class, they hear a simple explanation of how the mystery languages differ. I hope that one of the lessons they walk away with is just how difficult it is to poke at a black box, and a renewed appreciation for specs.
I use Notepad++ at work and ST3 at home, and there is no way that Notepad++ is feature-wise on par with ST. The sidebar options aren't good, no multi-select, no good way to organize projects, and it chokes on big files.

The fact that I have to click through 30 modal dialogs every time all my open files have to 'refresh' after a network hiccup is enough of a reason to curse at Notepad++.
This idea involves mapping one time line to another. Why would you suspect a timeline in which our timeline is embedded? That seems like a more interesting question than the shape of the mapping.

>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.

Part of the problem is that Google and Facebook actually can know the audience better than the content creator. A content creator only knows that the reader is interested in, say, cooking. Facebook and Google know most everything the reader is interested in, and what sort of ads the reader actually interacts with. They can use all of that information to maximize the chance the reader will click on an ad.

The problem now is that because of how effective Google' and Facebook's ads are, a single click on an ad is basically worthless. Someone who's trying to sell a product isn't going to pay 100 times as much per click to use a smaller ad network, they're going to go with whoever can give them the most impact.
Not even close I think.

One common thread between a job, and contributing to free software, is that you are often collaborating with others and helping each other as a team.

There’s nothing inherently wrong from moving on from either one, but there is a vast spectrum of ways to make the transition - from productive and retaining friends, to bridge burning.

If there was some unforeseeable emergency in the PMs life he shouldn’t be criticized for that.

Let’s assume the positive, he’s probably a great guy, there’s a rational explanation, and he’ll end up making things right. The problem is sometimes other people might just be making dick moves, which really doesn’t help either party.

Thank goodness. I think we could all do with more intelligence and less 'intellectual' snobbery.
Well yes but that's the author's point. Where it used be that 'the men in Whitehall' resisted consumer culture and aired programs which were not necessarily something the public wanted but something that was good for them, they've now given in and just air whatever gets the most viewers. It's a case of consumer culture penetrating an area that used to be slightly protected from the revealed preferences of the public.

And I suspect it's not even really an aversion to big ideas, I think it's an aversion to depth. People love big ideas, look at Malcolm Gladwell and similar authors, they have plenty of big ideas but there's a bit of a pop-shallowness to them. Unfortunately the depth is what's needed and I'm not sure a culture which focuses on individual preferences will ever give it to the public at large.
I was the architect for a major Microsoft partner adoption of The Microsoft Network (MSN) back in the early 90's. I'd just finished our companies BBS project a few years prior, followed by our FTP software service and WWW support services. I did the whole MSN thing, complete with a training camp in Redmond and attending their party on The Queen Mary where I met Bill Gates. The whole time it was very surreal because in contrast with my work on our web solutions, working on MSN was like taking very significant steps backwards. I even walked out of one of the trainings after they couldn't point me towards a way to automate content uploads to MSN. For all my work, I was then subpoenaed by Congress to provide my perspective on Microsoft locking out third-party browsers from Windows. Luckily the company lawyers took care of that one for me. I very much got the sense that a lot of Microsoft employee's knew the game was over, but they had too much momentum behind MSN to turn back.
I've been considering an HTTP/2 front cache. I'm currently using Varnish 4.1, and I know that V6 handles it, but what are the real worthwhile benefits of switching to H2 for cache like this?

Is it a significant enough difference that is worth the effort? Where do the benefits kick in?
Pretty much throughout the whole article. Callbacks, promises/futures, async/await for example all assume different concurrency model from shared memory multithreading and hence are programmed differently.
I find this blog post somewhat ironic. The author starts the post by saying that the trigger for the post was Marx's 200th birthday.

Britain might have declined slightly, but Marx's home country, Germany, has comparatively fallen from the top of the world, intellectually. It's still a heavy hitter, but if you compare it to pre-WW1/pre-WW2 Germany, it's just a ghost.

In short, time awareness and spatial awareness are linked. Does that mean if you increase your spatial reasoning skills, you could increase the accuracy of your perception of time? I ask because my spatial reasoning skills suck and so does my sense of time. The possibility of increasing both of these skills at the same time instead of just the one changes the cost/benefit equation for me.
