I'm not worried about myself with the stars and forks, I'm worried about the people who starred and forked my repo and the costs that moving my repo has on them.

For the stars, they presumably did it to get update notifications. I guess they'll get a notification if I update the README, and they can decide what to do about that. I'm making things just a little bit harder for each of these people though.

Forks are even easier to maintain than you're describing. You just need to do a change the url for your upstream. The issue for me is that I have several forks of other peoples projects and in almost every case it's because that's required to make a pull request. For each of these projects that moves, they're multiplying the small effort by the number of people who need to move their forks and/or learn how to make pull requests on the new service.
The business model of such companies is to bullshit and sometimes bribe the execs into a multimillion contract and then deliver crap (they often have threaten going to court to get paid for their non-services). Not everyone is willing to do that.
No. I had to sign an affidavit as part of the appeal after Nintendo appealed saying I was willing to go to court and that YouTube was going to end their involvement in the dispute if it continued then the next email I received was saying I had lost my dispute and I could start the process over again for a third time. At that point I started considering the reality of doing this with every video and decided to cut my losses since it would never scale.
I trust those who exhibit exclusive self-interest to throw me under the bus the moment it is good for them. The term for it is selfishness. And you can usually count on a large corporation to be selfish sociopath. It is the job of society and the public to constrain the selfish they do not harm others through their greed.
You have to keep up with the increasing sophistication of lies enabling business, so perhaps? (not sure I should put /s here as I am torn if I meant it seriously or as a satire; it's kinda blurry these days)
I'm an EU citizen. If I drive from Juarez to El Paso I assume I can contact the company the CBP is using to find out what they're doing with my data?

It's not an official Google project, but there is a lot of activity here:

a simple program took 25 seconds or more to build

This is surprising, I haven't had that experience, although I've been using the JavaScript backend instead, maybe it's much faster? It takes a few seconds, but not that much, and I'm on mere X220.

Like the author, I also struggle to write clean code in it. I've been writing a personal project to learn functional programming, Idris, Lambda and DynamoDB, and it's been going slowly. Reading the book, and embracing the suggested development method (type, define, refine) has been helpful, and I'm enjoying the whole process, despite a couple of snags with the JS interface.
I'm not convinced. I've seen some terrible test cases written by Infosys engineers. Just a complete lack of imagination with respect to the failure modes of a piece of software. Remember that India is not the "only choice"; Eastern Europe is waiting in the wings at a similar price point, better quality, and better timezone overlap.
Is it playing stupid or is it careful journalism? Causality is quite hard to prove in a case such as this. While we do have a correlation between lack of broad wealth distribution and lack of entrepreneurial dynamism, it seems to me that such a broad category of economics as "# of young firms" is going to be beholden to numerous variables, including legal climate, taxes, new platforms to innovate upon, anti-competitive practices by the big 5, and a general misallocation of talent where our brightest minds are working on how to increase ad revenue, not increase society's overall well-being.

Just adding for clarity: this isn't async io, but the foundation trait for building promise/future combinators in Rust. Tokio, an async io library, is built around this trait.
At first this didn't add up, but I think they want to be able to prove that you overstayed your visa. But with the current process, you can come, overstay your tourist visa, and leave, but they don't stamp you on departure, only on arrival, so they can't actually tell that you left.

Again, is this a real, rampant, dangerous problem? Probably not. But it's a real use-case (so they don't have to give fake reasons) for state-wide surveillance. Since it also claims to target foreigners (which by definition aren't voters), most locals/voters/politicians won't care, thinking it doesn't apply to them.

Not that I'm defending this, I think this level of surveillance is extremely dangerous. And the most obvious thing is that they'll slowly and quietly expand this to everyone else.

LOL. What makes someone senior? What are the advantages that being senior brings to the job at hand? Should we all be non-senior instead so that we have no experience or skills formed? Change is a part of life. You are going to get older and then die. Too often, technology firms worship youth at the expense of experience. In any case, youth ages and then it is your turn in the box, being lectured by the next generation about how averse to change YOU are. sigh.
The US and Canada haven't had exit checks in the recent past. What they've done is collect flight manifests and use that as confirmation that a person has left the country.

However, it's quite common in Europe and other countries. Every time I fly out of a European county, my passport has been check to confirm that I actually left. Same with several Asian countries.

Apparently the UK doesn't do it, but other EU countries do.[1]

> Just another data point, but for me it's the opposite. I drink mate every morning becasue its effect is softer than that of coffee.

OP is on about Club Mate. A soda drink with mate.

Its not very good for the teeth, like other soda drinks (the acid, Co2, and sugar). Furthermore, tea is bad for keeping your teeth white. But other than the latter, normal yerba mate doesn't suffer from the other downsides soda has. Normal yerba mate doesn't contain acid, Co2, and sugar.
Hell yes - it's an incredibly productive language, and the Web frameworks for it (Flask & Django in particular) are really nicely mature.

For fast Web App development it's a superb language choice.

Not so good if you wanted to write a super-high-throughput proxy service, but asyncio & ASGI is starting to change things there too.

The more important question is how did the wealthy get their fortunes. I think the last I checked, 2/3rds of them inherited it. Some hard work there.

You know, in practice, even your passport has always been a "permission to leave".

It's also a "permission to enter" some other country. But without it, you won't be flying anywhere.

Then you've got visas, which are "permissions to exist" in a certain geographical area (within a certain time-frame).

We've all had a default assumption that we can get a new passport any time, but it's actually never been guaranteed.
I think it's more troubling that small business formation is declining than you think. Small businesses provide a way for smart and hard-working people to improve their financial situation when they don't have other options available to them. Startups mainly help people who could have gotten a 6 figure job to potentially make even more. I'm not trying to criticize startups, but I think it's clear that a society where people can move out of poverty is a better one than a society where people remain in poverty but can move from the middle to the upper class.
FOMO is a hell of a drug.

Perhaps what they meant is on a per company, not per revenue basis. But I agree - a significant portion of the productivity value of a startup is job destruction of in traditional industries. Small companies have higher marginal utility from each employee. It's an uncomfortable truth that the article seems to ignore.
True. They're giving it to other rich people in the hopes of making even more money. Or they stash it in the Bahamas.

I agree with you, that some of the money is being reinvested and "average" people benefit from it. The statistics however are speaking against you. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer in nearly all first world countries. Trickle-down economics don't work.

Interesting observation.

Now hypothetically lets imagine for the sake of argument we've a safety net of the likes of somewhere on the spectrum between France and one of the Scandinavian countries.

All else equal, do you think the American entrepreneurial dynamism you see now would still be around if we had one such welfare
state-lite?

Or do you think people would grow lackadaisical? Have there been studies on this sort of thing?

I'm not implying that its necessarily bad but this comes up a lot in discussions of UBI and such. Tangentially, just last week there was a discussion on how labor laws make life difficult for startups in France.[1] The discussion there makes you wonder perhaps the issues surrounding what actually spurs the indomitable entrepreneurial instinct is more complex than it seems on the surface.[2]

IANAD (not a doctor) but just as a note of caution, I remember reading that eating one large meal a day rather than several smaller ones can have adverse consequences due to stress on the oesophageal sphincter. This study appears to come to that conclusion: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4223119/

(I'm not judging, I've been known to skip the odd meal here and there myself.)
It's a CNS stimulant, those are sensibly some of its side effects. I'd say moderation of use is an effective way to limit those side effects, as the pros/cons tend to change the more used to caffeine the body becomes.

There is also a genetic variation in receptors/enzyme configurations, think of it like the global options/settings. One person may react quite differently due to slight changes in the shape of their receptor due to a different genetic allele.

He's (well, the shareholders) still taking the surplus value of the work of all employees while they did most of said work. And you may be in a voluntary relationship but for many people, such a relationship is required to survive and it may not be so easy to find work elsewhere (especially when you're not in tech).

" Just a complete lack of imagination with respect to the failure modes of a piece of software." you get what you pay for to some extent.

E. Europe is considerably more expensive than India.
Managers should just be concerned that the tasks and goals assigned to their staff are being worked on, that they will be delivered on time based on a mutually agreed upon schedule. Communication (verbal, written, predictive based on data analysis) is key. Being "busy" should never be the point, getting things done should be.
Good. There's nothing more annoying on Android than the Google app presence on it perhaps ironically and having this pushed at you all the time really puts you off.
If you think anyone has "bulletproof automated source rewriting tools" I've got a bridge to sell you.
Little silly. Google should just charge for Android and then credit if ship with their stuff. Problem solved.

Really think the EU risks getting a worse result with this type of thing.
Indeed. I too am (British) Indian ;)
Your comment would imply that there would be a correlation between high entrepreneurship and high income equality, but the exact opposite seems to be the case. And I think there's even a simple reason for this. The fact people can raise tens of millions of dollars for ideas as stupid as a DRM'd fruit juice packet opener machine is a result of the fact that there's a lot of people with a lot of money looking to invest in pretty much anything.

Maybe there's an argument to be made that they're investing these stupid ideas in lieu of other options that could be more desirable by one metric or another, but the excess of money is I think, without question, what drove the meteoric rise in entrepreneurship. When nobody has the surplus of money to invest in ideas, it's tough to get the capital to go out and try to make them happen.
const results = await Promise.map(urls, url => process(url), { concurrency: 8 })

You can find a "map with concurrency limit" implementation in Bluebird (shown) or standalone on NPM.

For example, off the top of my head this would probably take me 40 lines of ungeneral wait group code in Go.
There is no reason to stab in the dark re: a cause. Wealth concentration is the cause. Break up the big 4 and you will cause a massive wealth redistribution by the unleashing competition that has been stifled in tech.

I think the key (and very appealing thing to me and a lot of people) is:

The results of work over the hours put in.

It also relates to the the idea of saying whether you're working or not. If you're producing great results, it shouldn't matter when/how/how much time it takes you to do it (provided maybe people can get ahold of you in an emergency). But I also seems like the key to this working is being willing to get rid of people that aren't meeting that high bar (whether weren't up to snuff or weren't because they weren't putting in enough time).

I think most organizations are unwilling/uncomfortable holding people to this high of standard on outputs, and so measure inputs (40 hours, at least not looking like you're slacking off) instead.

Charlie Munger tells a story about Fedex and how they needed to move all their packages around different planes every night in one central location. They had a team of workers to do it, but they were having trouble getting the work finished on time and keeping people motivated.

Eventually they decided -- instead of paying people by the hour -- to just pay them the same thing no matter how long it took (per shift), and let everyone go home when they were done. Lo and behold the night teams got their packages moved around much faster and and made just as much money and Fedex was able to deliver better and quicker everyone was happy.
Thing is ideally everyone will go to one place which appears to be GitLab.
Will one of y'all just post whatever this person emails you?
I don't have control over forks people make of my projects. Luckily, this concern is more of a hypothetical for me, as only one person has forked one of my personal projects on GitHub. I'm much more concerned about stars and hyperlinks no longer leading to the real repo when people follow them.
So what? They stated they were running numpy, so the scaffolding is already there.

Been saying this since the beginning and just want to go on record with this again now in case this comes up 5 years from now like Theranos did.
They’re not “undisclosed”, they are just untapped.

Consider Instagram, there was a time when it didn’t have as much advertisement as it does now. In those days you could cheaply advertise a product through someone with a high follower count. As more people started doing this, demand went up and so did prices, and then standardization came in. Now it takes big money to advertise effectively on Instagram.
It's true that embedded software doesn't need to be written in C but if you're distributing a _library_ that's aimed at embedded systems then C is still a terrific choice for a ton of reasons. The goal of a library should be to embrace the path of least resistance for adoption. And when you're working in the embedded space that means targeting the least common denominator. Are all embedded systems extremely resource constrained? No, but many are. Do all applications running on embedded platforms need to be real-time? No, but many do.

Writing in C means you can get small binaries, with minimal runtimes, easy control over things like memory allocation, and if you want to use the library you don't have to write C because almost any language with any form of FFI is going to target C before it targets C++.

Even if Chrome never stagnates, it’s not a good thing for it to be overwhelmingly dominant with competitors stuck in firmly the margins. It gives google too much power, regardless of its intentions. It might be more convenient for web developers (if I had a dime for every time I’ve heard of desires to ignore everything not chrome...), but what’s convenient for devs is rarely what’s best for users.

You really think that's going to be somehow treated differently?
So what. How is CEO pay any of your concern. It sounds like jealousy. For large companies, CEO pay is insignificant to the total company’s revenues. If the CEO make $1 that would suddenly result in money to pay more to employees. $10,000,000 salary divided among 20,000 workers and each worker gets $200 extra which is and extra $17 per month.

The his focus on CEO pay is nothing more than old-fashioned class warfare jealousy. Think how much more money workers could make if we cut payroll taxes by 20% — a lot more than if they paid the CEO $1. But those on the left complaining about CEO pay would go apoplectic just discussing tax cuts. Because the issue isn’t really about pay, it’s an ideological thing.
I was thinking the same thing. The equivalent of a power factor conversion stage at input makes this type of attack impossible unless they have access inside the product.

We need more details. It doesn’t state if they would do anything at all. They could be tagging faces for visa overstays so they would be flagged next time they can through.

It sounds like they don’t really have any automation to relate departures with overstayed visas.
This is amazing. Thank you for making this.
I agree: account-based accounting is not the perfect form, transactions can be much clearer. People here are suffering from status quo bias.
In addition to some other sites I've seen mentioned in respnose Reddit seems pretty major, and AFAIK it's still largely in Python. (They wrote their own Python framework, although they've been moving to Pyramid.) Yelp is also a Python shop, as is Disqus (which is built on Django).
Not really, when you consider that tasks need to be repeated multiple times in India before they're done to an acceptable standard. A few years ago, things were still cheap enough to accept this problem, but now development costs in India have gone up significantly and makes them non viable in my opinion.
working is compulsory, working for a particular company is not.
There is wide and abundant distinction that the left seems to willfully ignore with immense effort -- the distinction between legal and illegal immigrants. The argument was never anti-immigration, it was always anti-illegal immigration and anti-unrestrained immigration.

This nuance is important.
Many of us have families to support, and can't afford to take the risk (especially with the poor social safety nets in the United States).
That presumes the job market is perfectly efficient but inn reality it isn't. Back in 2015 Apple and Google (among others) being convicted of breaking the law to suppress wages. It was broken before that lawsuit however, and you can bet that the job market hasn't magically been fixed since they settled.
