Im with you on this. Ive been fishing a couple times, caught some dinner, but I've never felt the urge to go fishing. Lots of more fun active outdoorsy things to do that satisfy all the wanting to be out in nature, but are also active and exciting and fun. Might just be sampling bias, but all the people I know who love to fish are in no shape to climb a rock wall.
As a Russian, living in America, I would suggest not to take any clues about social behavior from Russians. It's all shades of dysfunctional from the bottom to the very top.

What do you mean by absolute metric?
Grades are not ambition. They are not chutzpah.

When I was an employer what I looked for was the willingness and capacity to learn. Someone who is (book) smart isn't as important as someone who can think, see patterns, be willing to offer ideas, etc.

Sadly, many of the things that are of value aren't even mentioned in school, let alone taught. As a result I'm troubled by all the talk about free / cheaper higher edu for all. That's not the answer. It might just create more (expectation) troubles than it solves.
Serious answer: to the countryside, away from the city and its lures, away from the dealers and with a bit of luck also away from the legal dealers of alcohol, even though that would be harder to achieve.
Can't get more 'meta' than forking github, on github, to contribute to github or make a clone of github all using github.
I don't have any evidence other than anecdotal and theories.

I used to work in a bank that merged with another and the amount of inefficiencies, double teams/management and general disgruntlement was staggering. I left and so did most of the ones capable of finding new jobs. The ones that stayed behind were not the highest performers.

Another one is from macro economics.
When two companies compete they tend to be very efficient but when they merge they have no more incentives to compete to attract customers. The result is higher prices to customers and lower effectiveness. Imagine what would happen if Intel bough AMD.

But the main issue is that I want to manage my investments myself and not let the companies manage it for me by merging.
This is a sensible reaction if you remember nothing of history. Russia is acting out because NATO has crept up to its borders and Russia has been subjected to invasions since Napoleon.

The Russian interference seen so far has been clumsy and of the parts that may have had an impact, they are nothing compared to Bill Clinton's open support of Boris Yeltsin in the 90s and US interference in elections around the world since forever including military coups and the assassination of democratically elected leaders.

While obviously not ideal, the rest of the world is laughing at us.

Of note, the only piece of confirmed meddling has been the alleged disclosure of voting system tampering by a whistle blower, Reality Winner, now facing hard prison time. She has received no cover from the Democratic Party. They are hawks and hypocrites.
I mean FB is so huge that numbers lost on these deals are probably flashes in the pan, but the tbh acquisition seemed like they were buying target demo behavioral data more than a company / feature functionality anyways. No big surprises here.
Tc39/proposals: Tracking ECMAScript Proposals
Well usually everyone around you means you no harm. The person who looks at you and doesn't smile is legitimately more likely to not care if you get hit by a bus or not, even if they have no ill intention towards you. The crazy guy whose alternate personality is telling him to stab you is definitely not smiling but staring at you and muttering to himself.

Of course context matters. I don't trust a smile from a used car salesman. I trust a smile more from someone I am playing basketball with, or that I pass while hiking in the woods as they have no incentive to deceive me. And if I don't get a smile from someone I pass while hiking in the woods I would be more on my guard.
I swear the last software update on my s8 made that button more sensitive just to annoy me into using that garbage.
> The Linux distribution merely is the vehicle and the basis, the actual business is well on top of it though, on another level. Check out what redhat.com and suse.com present on their respective homepages

Those homepages are a picture of where Red Hat and Suse want their business to go - not where it actually is.

In practice both companies have struggled to diversify into broader “enterprise solutions”. After 20+ years, the vast majority of Red Hat’s revenue still comes from the good old RHEL subscription. Everything else - storage, java, openstack, containers, IDEs - is still far behind. They seem to be betting everything on Kubernetes being the new Linux, but we tend to forget just how huge Linux was in the late 90s... And how huge Red Hat was in the Linux world. This time they’re a medium-sized fish in a medium-sized pond. Kubernetes is cool, but is it cool enough to get Red Hat from $3B to $10B in revenue, with hundreds of vendors pushing their own Kubernetes service? Personally I don’t see it. As a point of comparison, Vmware is nearing $8B and has successfully diversified into storage and networking.

It’s a testament to the incredible momentum of Linux adoption on the server, that even Suse (a distant second in the business of commercial Linux) has survived this long without any meaningful diversification.

Personally I think we’ll see Red Hat getting acquired in the next 5 years, while they can still a good multiple on the “cloud native” hype. If they wait too late, the reality will set in that Openshift revenue can’t grow fast enough to offset a shrinking RHEL business. If they wait too long, they will end up like Suse.

Sigma Ratings | NYC | Software Engineers (React) | Full-time | Remote or Onsite

Our ratings and data platform - Insight - are helping global banks, private equity firms, and clients in emerging markets more clearly understand and manage non financial risk. In a . nutshell we help companies understand who they are working with so that they don't accidentally become a part of a chain of money laundering or corruption.

Just last week, one of our Founders was on CNBC (https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/06/28/financial-institutions...) and our other Founder testified in front of Congress (https://youtu.be/G0gyd9icEuI?t=1635).

We use Docker on AWS' Fargate along with RDS Postgres. We have backend services in Scala (Application Backends), Python (Data Science and Engineering) and Golang (Core Services) with front end in React. Looking right now primarily for someone strong in React to work on our Insight Platform, Scala is a plus.

Not causal, but important to clear beta-amyloid. We've done some interesting imaging studies in our center @UCSF showing radiolabelled beta-amyloid is decreased with proper sleep and exercise. The direct imaging evidence is convincing.

Likely not causal, however, we just know that these two lifestyle factors trigger cleanup processes in your body.

> It works well for > 15 million lines of code, thousands of developers: paid and unpaid, professional and amateurs alike. So it can benefit your projects as well.

While I like git in general, this particular argument's logic is completely backwards. If something works well for 15 million lines of code and thousands of developers, then most likely it will be a gigantic overkill for your small project with a team of four, and overhead that goes unnoticed at Linux's scale will be crushing for you.

At least, that's what I would think if I didn't know git first-hand. The fact that git turned out to be useful for small project is very atypical for a solution born out of needs of a huge one.

I wish Cloudflare would offer some kind of key-value store with Workers, something like Google Cloud Memorystore but globally distributed in all of their PoPs - even if it's really limited like 32 MB RAM.
This is a group selection based argument.
Sometimes I wonder how these sorts of cultural subtleties are compensated for, when defining a set of clinical psychological personality disorders.

Cluster A (paranoia): https://www.mentalhelp.net/articles/dsm-5-the-ten-personalit...

Cluster B (drama): https://www.mentalhelp.net/articles/dsm-5-the-ten-personalit...

Clister C (anxiety): https://www.mentalhelp.net/articles/dsm-5-the-ten-personalit...

Take either culture's description, and stack it next to the other, and the incompatible resolution or reconcilliation between the two certainly sounds like it could add up to any of those disorders.

When you listen to the sort of discomfort and culture shock that seems implicit in these stories of adaptation, to the wrong set of ears, this all might sound like mental illness.

Growing up in one place, and then living in another, only to feel the longing pangs of nostalia and familiarity for what your childhood instict defines or recognizes as normal, clash with the reality of a world turned upsidedown, feels like a recipe for being plied with medication, if you tell the wrong person.

It feels like this process scaled up to millions of people, is exactly the sort of thing that drives conflict around the world.
There's a lot of variations so even some natives will share your frustrations, though personally I think the option variety is a nice feature. You can have amusing moments when you've queued up an automatic response and get the wrong trigger. "Gorgeous day huh?" "I'm well, you? Err..." Sometimes just ACK-ing works well if you really don't want to think about it... "What's up?" "Sup." "Howdy?" "Howdy." Regional / cultural greeting patterns can be used though to initiate moving from total stranger to closer stranger more quickly when you reply in certain ways... "Wazzup?" "Wazzzzuuuuup."

When will the medical community take nutrition science seriously? Why don't medical students take courses in diet and nutrition?

There is so much evidence that Alzheimer's is closely linked to lifestyle (specifically diet) and the same lifestyle changes that can stop/reverse Type II diabetes like a ketogenic diet + intermittent fasting is likely highly effective in reducing onset of Alzheimers in old age.
In the US if you ask someone if they've eaten there's a good chance they'll think you're asking them out to dinner.

The "How are you?" question is a way of setting the context of the conversation quickly. Most of the time, everything's okay ("I'm good, what's up with you?"). But sometimes it's not and the "How are you?" question gives you an opportunity to express that it's not: ("Man, I'm feeling pretty crappy right now").
That is how it's supposed to work. You build a theory based on known phenomena, then you look for any new phenoma it predicts and test them in experiments. Without the new phenomena, your theory is more likely to be just "overfitting" the data. A famous example of overfitting the data - adding more cruft to account for unexplained aspects - is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferent_and_epicycle

That is the cynical way to look at it. It also creates value because it lets you do more with what you already have.

Sure, but unless that code works in isolation, it probably needs at the very least access to some sort of data store.

I didn't have mom or dad breathing down my neck in school. In fact, my dad was basically absent for my last three years while the only thing my mom cared about was how soon I would be finished so that she could stop paying.

Another related problem is that barely-better-than-being-homeless housing has been zoned out of existence. Single room occupancy units (small bedroom with lockable door and shared kitchens/bathrooms) have been torn down and not built over time in the Bay Area, and I directly blame that for a decent chunk of the homelessness problem.

In most of the Google offices the percentage of employees with PhDs is hirer than the percentage of employees with a bachelor's alone (Seattle and NYC look like the only office where BS holders are the majority). While Google might not be explicitly selecting for GPA alone, academic achievement seems correlated with employment at Google.

I love the outdoors, fished plenty as a kid, but don't do it anymore. I'd rather be backpacking, climbing, paddling my kayak -- anything that gets me outdoors _and_ gets my body and brain in sync with each other. Fishing just doesn't do that for me.
> Do the volunteers get any share of the pie?

If someone wrote code (as a volunteer, not for hire) and licensed it as GPL, SUSE doesn't own that code, and the new owners of SUSE won't own it either, so everything is the same as it was before.
Xamarin is an easy to use leading indicator because of Nat Friedman's involvement in both. Simply in choosing Nat Friedman as new CEO it is hard not to wonder if Microsoft at least has the intention to explore Open Source as an operating option for GitHub moving forward.

> But, MS has not open sourced CodePlex, Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, Skype, Linkedin. [...] I see a difference between "programming tools" and "collaboration platforms" [...]

They've open source some of those "collaboration platforms". It's not a clear black & white situation, I don't think.

LinkedIn has a large open source footprint: http://linkedin.github.io/

More importantly, Azure has a ton of Open Source: https://azure.github.io/

A lot of what might possibly be considered "secret sauce" bits of the Azure stack are open source, and you could possibly cobble together your own mini-Azure if you needed too and for some reason it wasn't just cheaper to buy Windows Servers with Azure Stack out of the box or even to just use Azure's existing cloud.

The Azure Functions Host is the biggest example off the top of my head that a lot of people imagine would be closed source but is open source.

(Another example is I've used over the years for different reasons is Azure's "Kudu" website deployment engine.)

I don't know if there's a cut/dried point where Microsoft might currently be drawing the line between its closed source stuff and open source, but "programming tools" versus "collaboration platforms" doesn't seem to be it (even before getting into semantic arguments about the fuzzy boundary between such categories).

That said, there probably is no obvious strategic reason for Microsoft to open source GitHub at this point, and maybe all that money that was spent in the purchase are plenty more reasons not to.

But Xamarin is an interesting leading indicator, and if there is a person to put in charge of GitHub with any interest in exploring the possibility of at least open sourcing more of GitHub, even if never quite "all" of GitHub, it is probably Nat Friedman.
