I have been using Phabricator for the past couple of years, mainly for code review.

I would point out the very wide feature set for a development team, beyond code hosting and review. A couple of times I was thinking " we should set up a web app with this", only to find it with a few clicks that Phabricator already had it. A few gems:
- pastebin-like app
- Instant chat
- task manager with planning

None of them are top-of-the class, but it's helpful to have them all in the same setup.

SEEKING WORK - Toronto or Remote

I've got things to do, I just like variety. Many companies I talk to want someone full-time and ideally onsite, and that's fine when I'm fully available, but most of the time I have work on the go, and I'd just like to be able to help more than one company at once.

I'm a consultant, so mostly I try to help people solve business problems with technology. In practice, I mostly do web/mobile/apis/cloud development and devops in Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, Scala, Swift, Ruby and Python; Ansible and Terraform with AWS; recruiting, development management and development infrastructure. Willing to do a little bit of travel, but I've got a family here in Toronto, and I'm not looking to complicate things.

For OnionBalance, on the mailing list they mentioned that while it is more difficult on v3, they are implementing HSFETCH/HSPOST[0]. I'm not sure of any other load balancing approaches outside of this. In the meantime I figure y'all have this all going through one hidden service endpoint or maybe share some priv keys or wrote some custom code or something.

When I start at a new company I create the "Onboading Guide" I wish I would have had. I take notes on all the things I had to do and where (and sometimes how) to do them. I include a "Link Bank" of all the random URLs that no one knows because they all have them in their history or bookmarks, and all the IT requests / installs that need to happen. As I continue with the company I update this doc as things change or new things come up and refer back to it myself when I need to remember how to do a rare but important task. This is the third company I've done this at and each time I get a bit better at creating it, and the feedback I get from new team members I send it to is really positive. Crucial - This doc is online in a format that others can contribute to and I encourage new team members (and interested current team members) to update it themselves.

Yeah, not following the HW releases I was surprised the other day to find out the Intel NUC Hades Canyon and how well the integrated GPU+HBM work.

I already bought a Streacom F1CWS but I'm already regretting it as, without mods, there's no way that this case can have a decent airflow even if it's allegedly designed to support CPU with 65W TDP. ^__^;

I liked the form factor too much tho.
No, has nothing to do with Russian bias. Their maps use incorrect names. Their app also requires you to pinpoint the exact location to where you are going, as in type it in and you will get a certain price no matter how long the fare takes. Which is great if you have 0 concerns about your privacy. Not very flexible in that regard

My biggest pet peeve. Oh, you're a 23 year old college grad? Better take time during your first hour of being in the real world to pick your life insurance policy and memorize what building alarm code to use if you happen to be the only one in the office at 4am on a Sunday (during a holiday weekend).
This idea seems so, hostile. I'm not allowed to use my phone in my car but I can look at advertising that turns bad traffic into a revenue stream?
A few weeks ago at work we looked at the categories Facebook puts each of us into for advertisers. The Nazis or the east German Stasi would have been super happy with that level of data. It would have made their lives much easier. You probably can always buy the data you need for a surveillance state if you can afford it.

No one reads ToS and at that point, it should be nullified. Everyone loses their FB accounts because YOU didnt read the ToS. Facebook loses their business because they lied about people reading and accepting their ToS.

Its important to be reasonable, FB definitely went full corruption and blaming the billions of customers is laughable.

Probably. It's strange how the only school of economic thought that actually corresponds to reality is the one shunned as "pseudoscience" or something.

Right, but the open-source community might be involved as well - maybe the money is more about promoting e.g. a platform than paying individual staff
I'm curious as to why you've been down-voted with no dissenting remarks. You're basically correct in my experience too (I've not been SWATed, but I've several former neighbors that have).
> I've heard that complaint a lot. How are these things handled poorly by GitHub?

Basically, when changes are requested, the patch based work flow is to submit a revised set of commits up for review. In Github, one can do that by either force-pushing to the branch that's currently attached to a pull request, or one can push up a new branch and open up a new pull request associated with that branch.

But there isn't a way to view the "interdiff" between the version of the branch before review and the version of the branch after review. Review tools like Phabricator, Gerrit, and email lists allow one do view that diff.
Thanks for this outline. I've been a happy user of Ledger for several months now, but have been stymied about how to model a scenario in which several family members pay me in advance for a bill we collectively owe that's payable in the future, and in which their payments end up in my checking account. I now see that I should have set up the future sum payment as a local, temporary liability, each family member's deposit payments to me as a local, temporary asset other than my checking account (making my local checking balance diverge from that reported by my bank -- but to my benefit!), then the future sum payment as a transfer from the local temporary asset to the local temporary liability, and bringing all accounts to their correct balances and realigning them with my bank.

So, again, thanks a lot for that last line, which helped me out.
Thanks for this solution! I’ll disable it just for the site
I just dont use FB anymore.

I get FB messages, but I dont check my feed.

Occasionally I get event invites, but I check that every few weeks or month.

I dont want to act like I'm 'cutting edge', but was on gamefaqs when it was cool, FB in 2009, reddit in 2010. I dont use facebook anymore, we moved to snapchat and niche fourms.
This is how many custom rings are made today. Of course the material for most rings is some type of precious metal. As for it taking 50 years, I can only say I hope not!
Exactly. I believe the term HFT uses for exploiting that is "spearing whales".
In addition to the overwhelmingly slap-dash appearance, its power draw was reportedly through the roof (north of 750W). With that chip, a fully-loaded workstation's power draw would exceed the wattage of most North American wall outlets.

Suffice to say, Intel's 5GHz 28-core chip is nowhere near production-ready and their demo is more than likely a heavily overclocked top-binned Xeon chip. In other words, Intel's new offerings are looking like less than stellar vaporware.

Threadripper 1 still beats the pants off of Intel's HEDT offerings in terms of price (Intels' costs quickly exceed the $5K mark), Threadripper 2 twists knife so much that its a gaping wound in Intel's side. The Epyc 2 lineup will similarly affect Intel's enterprise/data-center offerings.
Thanks for this solution! I had just assumed it would be too difficult to find elsewhere :/
You have better representation. Federally, my Senator represents ~3 million constituents, while my House representative represents ~800k. At the state level, those numbers shrink from 3 million to 120,000, and from 800k to 40k.

If you live in a state that really believes in state representation, like New Hampshire or Vermont, then your representative likely only has 3 or 4 thousand constituents.

This means I can pop into their office and lodge complaints or show support in person, am more likely to talk to them in town halls, and I'm competing with fewer letters or phone calls for access. I've spoken in person to my state representatives many times on a variety of issues, but I've never gotten better than a (very much delayed) form letter from my federal representatives.

Past that, in many municipalities, your judges and DAs are often elected, meaning you have influence over the course and nature of their platforms. If you want to see criminal justice reform, less qualified immunity for police officers, etc., you have far more capacity for influence over state and local legislatures than you do at a federal level.
I suppose there are two sorts of errors:

System errors: falsely attributing you with certain penalties (or credits). The workaround here is the same as with a bank - provide a statement and a mechanism to dispute entries.

Fine errors: penalising you when you don't deserve it. This is like anything else in the justice system, although it has the advantage that it should be an accumulation of a larger number of smaller inputs (positive and negative), so individual errors should act like noise and remain negligible.

When I was growing up, Tolkien's works were some of the few books sold in the church's bookstore. As I've grown older, I've grown more critical of the simple narratives in most literature, that make frequently abhorrent attitudes and acts possible. In the case of Tolkien, he literally dehumanizes the enemies. One example that stands out is the "light hearted" sequence where Legolas and Gimli hold a contest of who can kill the most orcs. These days, recognizing this type of storytelling, with all its justifications, is very often part of the problem, I try to find works that help develop more nuanced perspectives.

Edited to remove bad reference to Nanking Massacre. The point is that glorious battle stories with simple morals are prevalent, and are a big part of Tolkein's stature.

A number of Chinese companies, including some that Facebook shared data with, are listed as threats to U.S. national security.

True, perhaps you are amenable to it. But 95% of people encountered online already have their minds made up one way or the other pretty firmly, and I don't care to take the chance you're a unicorn.

Which begs the question, why do I comment in these discussions at all? I do not know.
Maybe it is just me but Javascript is not my favourite dynamic language. Given project like ReasonML and other languages that have type inference prototyping is not harder than without types. Is it a valid argument that it slows you down? Not sure.
Well everyone is talking about the energy usage, which is the point of the experiment.

But what happens after 5 years (the expected life of the datacenter). Most of the computers in there will be worthless then. Will they bring up the datacenter and reload it with new equipment? Will the cost-benefit be in favor of re-equipment or just sink a new one in? If its going to be cheaper to just drop a new one in, we will have ocean floor littered with dead datacenters.

Haven't heard anything about this.
Be worried. If NSA's work was to any extend genuinely relates to foreign intelligence gathering, they would not be prowling through web diaries American teenage girls. How you think they were supposed to look for Ben Ladens on American facebook.com and myspace.

Moreover, Snowden's powerpoints confirmed eager cooperation from all major US dotcoms, with facebook's early ex-CTO nearing to publicly admitting that NSLs they received were about "get raw DB access" which I assume they still have, and use up to this day.
Yes. He seems like he doesn't care much about the success of Node.js.

It was just a cool project and he moved on to the next cool thing.
I would argue that we are at a point where it's more important to raise awareness of the dangers of algorithmic bias and other AI issues because the public is not aware of them. Art is provocative and fits this role nicely.

To answer your question directly though, there is "serious" work like that from people like Veale and Skirpan; also orgs like AI Now are very serious about this area.
It's demonstrable from many datasets that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Look at FRED mobility data. Look at Forbes 400 richest. Look at what percent of the richest x% are first generation. Look at FRED data on intergenerational wealth.There are ample datasets showing that wealth regresses to the mean.

Pick a definition of wealth (income, or ownership, or whatever), and pick a dataset for which you can capture all in that bracket for some reasonable timeframe, and for which you can see what percent moves out. For every such dataset I've found over years of looking at this, every one backs the claim that the rich do not stay rich.

Most rich people are newly rich. Most rich families drop year over year in total wealth.
If nothing else, nobody "owns" CVS. Github (and thus, effectively git by sheer mass) is now owned by Microsoft.

If I understand the graph correctly, the gap in absolute terms reduces, when the derivative of the (original) Elephant graph is negative, that is the gap between the lower half of the income distribution and the P50-60 (6th decile, something like $2k - $4k [0]) increases. And the gap between P80-90 ($8k-$14k, that's the lower third of the US population) and the top increases, while the gap between P50-60 and P80-90 decreases.

Sounds like you're talking around semantics. Yes, any server you connect to as a client to clone a repo is "hosting" that repo. But that can be practically any computer it doesn't need to be a _dedicated_ host in a server farm, it could be a devs laptop.

That's not the case if you're comparing with AC. You have to use energy (generating more waste heat) to pump heat up a temperature gradient.

>In my experience nobody reads the source code before executing it

Joe Schmo isn't going to be auditing it, actual security researchers are. Heartbleed was only discovered because some research firm was auditing random open source software. Imagine how long the exploit would have gone unnoticed in a closed source application. Now imagine if said exploits were intentionally added and used by the software authors since day 1.
Nothing particularly interesting or new in the article, flamewarly.
No. That's such a congruent analogy, you don't even have to change the roles.

Google is the TV channel. The employees in question aren't content producers -- they're the salespeople who sell the ads and the engineers who air them.

It's like if those people then went home and used a special device that removed ads from the TV show.
This is little more than 1 engineer's salary and benefits for a year.

This is a really important study that should be conducted by an organization with a strong engineering culture and as little bias as possible. Who would be better then Mozilla to do this? I really don't trust academia to do this with all of its misplaced incentives.

>Systemic inequality engenders winner-take-all dynamics

The data is that the rich don't stay rich , which is why the majority of the rich for any reasonable level of rich are first generation, and have been so for a long, long time.

And the majority of the poor don't stay poor, as FRED data shows.
Seems that English society learned quite a bit from those two wars (at a steep price though). Sadly it seems those lessons are fading as the generations leave.

my last weekend was ruined by a bad experience with Spectrum Cable and my supervisor on a Friday.
These days, getting an email or other sign-up for something has (at least) two significant factors:

* Do I trust you with the data I give you; and

* What do I get in return for my data?

If you are clear and upfront that the sign-up has been introduced because of lots of bogus accesses, you'll gain some sympathy. But people will still ask both of those questions.

If you act in a trustworthy manner, and you provide value in return, then I think it's fine to ask for a sign-up. But you need to gain the user's trust, both that you will treat their data with respect, and that there will be something in return.

Exactly how you convince them of those two things is not easy, and effectively "marketing".

much respect to ryan for coming out like this. i used to think that he might have thought node was the bee’s knees and that callbacks and promises were sent from the gods. glad to hear him confirm what a lot of js devs are feeling right now with the wretchedness of the js callbacks, promises, and generators. there is a better way and im glad he is trying to do something about it.
I would guess it is closer to the cost of 1 engineer, maybe below. Conservative estimate of the average engineer at a company in the bay area is above 100K in cash compensation plus the cost multiplier of an employee is easily 2x once you account for benefits and other employer costs.

I took this to mean that glassblowers should be paid more, especially the best ones in the world.

If it was known 10+ years ago that Caltechs glassblower made 300-500k a year, you can bet they wouldn't be in this situation now.

The million dollar salaries for baseball players entice entire generations of kids and teens to at least "try" the sport. It keeps the good ones motivated and the few elite athletes a payout for a lifetime of work.

We could argue whether this is all worth it for entertainment, but you can't argue with the compensation model, it flat out works. It attracts and retains the absolute best people in the world at that specific job.

It would probably need to be linked to rent controls.

Or honestly, rent nationalization. I do not feel that private landlords for residential property are a thing that should exist. They really are nothing more than accumulating a sufficient pile of money to exclude people from a human necessity, and then using the leverage to squeeze people.

Are you saying the two governments are equivalent, particularly in limitations on power?
At 5σ, you lose a lot of the downsides of standard p < 0.05 hypothesis testing because the p value is so low.

Nevertheless, I suppose what you would suggest is just setting limits to start with and looking for a bump there instead. That's not a bad idea, and some (Gross, e.g.) have suggested setting limits even in discovery papers.
