I think some people overlook the second half of the company/product name, “hub.”

Or maybe it’s just easier to be overly-critical than to appreciate a cool way of sharing/saving information.
Oh my. Please tell me you’re joking or using extreme sarcasm as humor. If not, that would be a dangerously weak and nonsensical philosophy tantamount to thoughtcrime. Assault is getting up in your face with intimidation and imminent violence. Calling speech “abusive” is often a dog-whistle for academic totalitarianism that bans people outright without any process and eliminates debate because there’s “accepted” ideas and then there’s outlaws whom aren’t allowed to participate in the discourse. That’s not rigorous academics or openness to ideas, but touchy childishness, often attempting to control and subjugate other people with facist-modalities of draconian control.. to the point boys and others have to walk on eggshells, lest they offend hypersensitive, power-hungry control-freaks. Worse, only exchanging “approved” ideas leads to Dark Ages stagnation and materially-weak academics that could well be superseded by superior ideas, technologies and academic institutions that are more open and rigorous elsewhere.

The problem originates thin-skinned toddler with their safe-spaces, microaggressions and crybully reactionary-outrage, brow-beating BS, which mostly grew out of the hierarchy of victimhood anti-white-straight-male ideologues, ... compounded by faculty, staff and parents whom fail to correct them, set sensible boundaries and lead-by-example.
While I find the actions of these parents despicable, they do not constitute "denying the right to exist".

I think you'll find "clientism" is a function of the unemployment rate. When people are desperate for jobs, clientism will rule. In the real immigrant regions of Rotterdam for example, there is near 100% clientism. By which I mean that every dishwasher is there because they're related, married or very close friends (rare) to the owner.

Not that it doesn't happen in The Hague in the big banks, it does, especially higher up. But once you get lower than director, there is very little of it left. There is essentially no unemployment among the educated Dutch population, and they would never do the clientism thing ... at least not for an entry level job. Where you really find it is when big companies outsource local functions, like cleaning the office, or buying large amounts of furnishings. When you look at the personal relationships between those businesses, that's where you go "wait a second ... I've seen that name before".

With 30% unemployment, of course you try to help your family with a job, especially if that's the only way to survive. And that pushes out everyone else at that level of unemployment, of course.

With 4% unemployment. How low is that ? Well, there are ~10% people with an iq < 80, in any population, which is the level where you have to repeat instructions every 2h at least. Not once, not 10x, not 1000x, but every last 2h. Nor are these people capable of correctly carrying out simple written instructions, so you cannot hang them on the wall and expect anything but disaster. (75 is considered handicapped to the point that they cannot be left alone, ever).

In the Netherlands, half of such people are employed in private businesses. That's how low the unemployment rate is there at the moment.

So no, with that sort of competition for workers, there is very little clientism at the lower levels of companies.

But this has very little to do with cultural differences or attitude differences between the Netherlands and Greece. I'm sure they mattered for the first 2 months of the problem, those differences ... perhaps ... but not for very long. Under the same pressures, the Dutch would surely do the same as the Greek.

Also, I apologize for not directly responding to your actual point.

Is it racist for a charity to only work with black farmers? The reason I wrote what I wrote is that the answer entirely depends on whether your definition of racism includes the systemic oppression of the less powerful for the specific purpose of keeping them less powerful into the future.

Based on my research, a conservative (and I am using these terms to describe teams, so it could be "shirts" vs. "skins") would say it's racist because it consciously discriminates against white people. End of story.

A progressive would contend that white farmers already have all of the inherent advantages of their whiteness, and therefore it's wholly appropriate for a self-organizing group to serve less powerful communities to the exclusion of the ruling class. (Class as in group, not social strata, although I'm confident that black farmers are farmers who are black, and therefore part of an oppressed class. They are free to decide who is oppressed in the same way an editor is free to decide who to publish.)

The truth is not up to me to decide, but it's a shame that we can't have two parallel conversations where both views have a good point.
Big for-profit companies have always been marketing against open source software; before, they would say that because it's free; it means that it's insecure and low quality.

Because it's now obvious that this is not true, for-profit companies have resorted to focusing their marketing on the idea that it's "too much effort to manage and scale" open source software.

> speech is transmitted by the movement of air molecules

Under this definition of "speech" English, which I understand, and Chinese, which I don't, would have the same effect on me. But of course they don't. When somebody speaks in English or another language I understand, I have no choice but to hear it, not as noise, but as meaning, as sensations and memories activated in my brain and body.

Since you're German you probably like Kant. Korsgaard is a Kantian philosopher at Harvard:
"If I say to you, “Picture a yellow spot!” you will. What exactly is happening? Are you simply cooperating with me? No, because at least without a certain active resistance you will not be able to help it. Is it a causal connection then? No, or at least not merely that, for if you picture a pink spot you will be mistaken, wrong. Causal connections cannot be wrong. What kind of necessity is this, both normative and compulsive? It is obligation. "

> dangerously weak and nonsensical philosophy

Yes, clearly Wittgenstein is less of a philosopher than the author of this article.

Look, I get what you're worrying about. Yes, there is a dark history where totalitarian regimes suppressed people from free speech. Nobody wants to go back there. What I'm pointing out is that "free speech" as implemented in the current society is not without its glaring defects, and that to get to the next stage of progress we need a subtler idea of free speech, rather than this clearly incoherent "speech is powerful enough to cure social ills, but cannot inflict as much damage as a fist."

Just to spell it out for you again, under any reasonable metric, the desirability hierarchy is:

totalitarian suppression of free speech < "free speech" in the liberal world as we know it < a more nuanced understanding of "free speech", with bug fixes

Exactly, I really like the ideas, it seems to be 'vim, done rationally', but the vim muscle memory is just too ingrained, and I have quite a few custom keys bound for things like kicking off a test run, adding 'focus' flags to a current test etc, and then multi windows/panes, and plugins like nerd-tree, git tools like fugitive, gitgutter, etc, etc

Playing with it for a while did prompt me to look into and adopt vim visual mode, which I've never really used (was it even present if vi on ttys?). It's a step closer to the more rational (to me) 'selection, action' ordering.
Honestly, no.

> I think you are also confusing "harms the body" with "feels like pain"

Nope, wrong again. I am talking about cases where abusive speech is systematic, unescapable, and occurring in the context of a drastic power imbalance. Parental child abuse, for example. I can point you to countless studies where parental child abuse leads to physically harmed bodies, harm here consisting of chronic unmitigated pain, autoimmune disorders, even brain tumors.

Word banning is known to be a poor method.

First, because the use of the word can be in a positive or negative sentence, and thus can either agree or disagree with your "censorship rule". You need a deeper NLP analysis to disambiguate.

Second, because - if online fora with this kind of ban has taught us anything - it's pretty easy to work around it by using punctuation, replacement characters, or other style variations to write the word in a way that it won't be caught by the regex.

Third, this method ends up banning legit words. There was a forum where I couldn't write "booby trap". I don't need to explain.

WRT reputation, networks that allow "unlimited registrations" are easy targets for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_attack - One can use account age to mitigate of course, but given the amount of fake accounts that exist on the market (look at fiverr marketing offers) with long life and activity, I wouldn't expect age to be that big of a helper.

I don’t use Julia for speed but because it is so easy to use and powerful.

Haskell e.g. is very powerful and elegant but time consuming and hard to learn. LISP is easy to learn and powerful but has kind of clunky syntax.

Ruby has quite nice syntax and is quite powerful but also kind of messy. Python is quite clean and easy to use but not as powerful.

Julia I would say has hit a sweet spot between all these languages. It is quick to learn and understand while also allowing you to write clean easy to read code. That may describe python. But with macros and multiple dispatch I would say it is a much more powerful language.

I also find it much nicer than Python to use as a script language as you got way more functionality out of the box.

I am a C++ developer professionally, and write little Julia script to help me with various boilerplate coding inn C++, processing assets etc. Julia is really quick to drop into when you need it.

With python I always forget which module some functionality is in. The name of a function etc. Julia has much better naming most useful stuff is already invluded in the automatically loaded base module.
As others have pointed out, I've used two kinds of self-checkout mechanisms in grocery stores (France).

The mechanism in as shown in the article (bring all the bags to the check-out lane, scan, weight, pay) is just horrid, and way slower. I just go to the regular checkout in these cases. I've seen a store which replaced all regular queues with self-checkout lanes, and now I just avoid it.

The second method is by taking a barcode gun with you at the entrance, scan the items as you go, and simply pay at the exit. There are random-rechecks, but they are performed by the cashier, so they're quick. On average, it's actually faster, and I do prefer this method. The barcode scanner takes the tally for you and can do a price check, which is another convenience to have sometimes.

Every store I've seen using this tech was from Siemens and I'm pretty happy about the implementation.
I have sympathy for you for being downvoted. I have raised this issue a couple of times before for using github for things other than hosting source code (hosting online courses, using github issues as calendar or comment system for blogs). No downvotes but people laughed it off like I was suggesting something crazy.

You know, facebook started off a social media and now it has become effectively a news outlet and entire Internet in some places. Google started as a search engine but now become many people's part of life.

When people start using services for everything, it's the service provider that is happily harvesting the data. Users end up being tied to a system that they find hard to replace. Github offers free hosting, free domain, free https certs, no need ssh, no need CMS, pretty neat and convenient, except now you depends on github's black box for hosting. Same for github APIs, which are not part of git, but github's proprietary technology. Wait until Github uses that as a leverage against you and you are forced to migrate off it.

Edit: I'm not saying don't use github. However, I would suggest not abusing it or become too dependent on it for things other than what it was designed to do.

I've written a couple of websites that have user-to-user messaging, once even a dating site. I didn't use SMTP at all, and I'm surprised why you would consider it.

Assume for the moment you created mailboxes for each user, assume you have two users "Alice" and "Bob". If Alice wanted to send a message to Bob you certainly could send an email to a local SMTP-server via an address like "Bob@mail.local". Then when Bob logged into your site you could poll that mailbox via IMAP/POP3 and retrieve the message.

But really it would be far simpler to just query a database, avoiding the overhead of needing to speak IMAP(S)/POP3(S). Especially if your site is dynamic already and needs to use a database.

Sure use outgoing SMTP to send an email to the real-address of a member "You've got a message from Alice".
> Just in the last few months BinDeps was broken ...

What I don't understand is why you didn't just stay with old stable versions? You wouldn't be exposed to such issues, wouldn't you?

> It's not a development culture I would rely on when products and money and jobs are at stake

On the other hand this 'development culture' has brought brilliant results in a relatively short amount of time with a relatively small team.

There was a talk [1] at the Juliacon 2018 where a company very successfully replaced an IBM product with Julia code. At 48:07 there was a question 'about problems with changes in Julia'. Answer: they started with v0.3 and 'didn't really have many problems'. They 'didn't use anything particularly exotic'. So, yes, I'd say if you adapt to the given situation it can (could have) work(ed).

I'm not convinced that a non-cowboy style would have been better. (And besides, this doesn't come free moneywise).

So, if we assume for the sake of discussion that the author of the article is not playing identity politics games and is truly trying - to sort of quote you - to help those in greatest need, then don't you think the criteria should objectively be those in greatest need instead of relying on some sort of questionable correlation between one's skin color and one's economic condition to pick and choose who's most deserving of their help?

I think what is truly driving a certain category of people (which I belong to) nuts when they hear that folks base their decision on people's skin color is exactly that: instead of relying on some dubious, questionable, to-be-proven, and most certainly never a 100% accurate, equivalence relation between one's skin color and one's economic (or other) condition, why not just call an effing cat a cat and just say you're trying to help people who need it the most?

To me, there's only two explanations: you're either not very smart by equating two very different things, or you have an identity politics agenda. Either is a source of frustration.

Finally, "the inherent advantages of their whiteness" . And you're trying to tell me you want a constructive conversation when using language like this? Please. The 50's are long gone, time to move on.
Hi - small note from someone who has worked extensively with homeless.
While each bullet point you make has a superficial logic, they are (unfortunately !) Incorrect due to erroneous assumptions.

If the "problem" was as simple as you assume, the solution pointed out would have already worked.

It's a complex problem, which requires complex solutions.
In my experience, the major element is mental health. Many people are on the streets due to mental health issues, or develop mental health issues when on the street.

One take away note: most people are only two simultaneous life disasters away from being on the streets. One disaster (health / family / relationship / job) can typically be weathered, but two or more at once is typically catastrophic. There's many a PhD / CEO / father of four on the street.
I think what they are trying to say is that try everything yourself and see and don't just blindly believe in benchmarks.

And also mentioned on the same page is this :

In the spirit of demonstrating typical performance characteristics, the benchmarks presented in this comparison page are implemented in an apples-to-apples, naive, idiomatic way (i.e. the way you would normally write 99% of your code) and do not employ tricks or advanced optimizations to make one or other framework look artificially better. You are encouraged to contribute a PR if you feel any DbMonster implementation here could be written more idiomatically.
Some shops in Japan has another combination of automation.

There is a cashier that scans your items as normal (from one basket into another basket) but each cashier station has two automated pay stations (they can also be shareD).

Once your stuff is scanned the cashier sends you to one of the stations with your basket and you pay ther. You then pack you bags in a dedicated packing area.

It removes the frustration of dealing with scanning yourself. Paying is quick and simple and a separate bagging area (which is std in Japan to be honest) ensures no bottle-necks.

I gotta say I like this system a lot
