I can relate to this, although for me it feels rather comical than offensive:

I find the phrase "I am
excited" used in almost every business announcement to be offensive, because it is not genuine, nor does it indicate what type of excitement is being felt - excitement merely means an elevated state of emotions, could be good, could be bad

My problem with FastMail is that if you stop paying for your email address, they recycle it. This means that someone else could potentially buy your old email address (if you migrate away) and use it for nefarious purposes.

Is this really what happened? To me it appeared like a bunch of Linus's close friends told him he was acting like a jerk, and he agreed. Building this into some kind of global movement out to punish wrongthink smacks of conspiracy theory to me.
No, it is not "well written". I'm no expert in analytic number theory, but here are some sanity checks:

His definition of the critical strip (2.4) is wrong.

He works with some family of polynomial functions who agree on the sets K[a] that have open interior (2.1). Of course, two polynomials that agree on infinitely many points are identical. So there really is not much to his "Todd-function". It is just a polynomial.

From his claims 2.3 and 2.4 then follows T(n)=n, for all natural n and hence T(s)=s, as T is a polynomial.

What does "T is compatible with any analytic formula" in (2.4) even mean? Does it mean "for f(X) a everywhere converging power series, then T(f(s))=f(T(s)), for s in C"? This can only hold for T(s)=s, again. So maybe it means something else? He applies it to f(X)=Im(X-1/2), which is not a power series, so what does he mean?

The Hirzebruch reference is a 250pp book. The paragraph on Todd-Polynomials (which are a family of multivariate polynomials, btw. There is no "Todd-polynomial" T in Hirzebruch!) does not contain a formula as claimed in (2.6).

Considering the last two breakthrough claims, that Atiyah made (no complex S^6 sphere and a new proof of Feit-Thompson) vanished in thin air, I remain more than sceptical that this "preprint" can be salvaged.
Has anyone managed to compile that? All I could find was a few people getting errors and no help.
Actually I was surprised by the Drupal guy since a lot of the people behind these CoCs seem to be various blue-haired kinksters themselves.

I don't think either that or Linus' excessive swearing belongs in a software project, but CoC makers clearly aren't interested in maintaining a civil society, they're just interested in maintaining their particular brand of ideology.
In the Illuminatus books there is a story that may help illuminate this. Some dude posts signs in a store that say "DO NOT SPIT ON THE FLOOR. --MGT". The staff assumes it's from management, so they leave the signs up. The customers feel insulted that management would think they would spit on the floor, so they stop buying there. The store goes bust.

The apparent blandness of the CoC may exactly be the problem.
I don't particularly like this answer but: Safari.

It's now back to running (legitimately...) only on Apple's hardware (there was a Windows version in the past, but it's long gone), so you are paying for it -- it's just that the price is rolled into the up-front purchase cost of the hardware.

Apple does seem at least somewhat thinking about privacy as a differentiating feature, and Safari has some explicit anti-tracking features.

Is it the perfect solution: no. But I'm starting to think seriously about using it as my desktop browser.
Fair enough! Yeah, I've heard good things about that series.
Sorry to say but proven until guilty and basic rights does not apply to everything in life (tax law, private endeavors, I can refuse service to someone, I can kick you out from my home without listening to you if I think you did something wrong).

Yep. There’s a half dozen there I used to contribute to... and one I didn’t realize had adopted it.

If I ever need to add a feature to one of them I’ll have to fork it.

That list, by the way, is a list of projects run by people who bowed to pressure and didn’t really think it thru or believed the lies pushed by those pushing the CoC.

Thank you for the response!

I am currently reading the "Programming Rust" book. My problem is not on the concepts themselves but on applying them: I am finding it quite hard to think of some small project to apply the learning. In addition to this, my thinking is that systems programming requires a different approach to coding/architecture of applications (because it lies closer to the OS layer than other kinds of apps such as web apps).
They are. After a 6 months internship in the UK and without telling/asking them anything, they returned money to me a year later.
"The primary goal of this book"- and my company -"is to deliver a framework - that is, a way to think about - SEO."

It's all about creating a platform (a.k.a. a web property) that enables systematic, scaleable SEO. And - measurable - processes how to deal with this platform. And as SEO is 5% is know-how and 95% execution (as everything that has value), how to come from know-how (and where to get it, hint: it's not SEO blogs!!!) to execution.

we also offer a free open source app to test for the most annoying SEO best practices and pitfalls (incl. invisible meta-data).

That example shows a clear problem in the employee/management relationship. Putting up signs like that without adequately informing the employees is really bad passive aggressive management. Likewise, the employees simply accepting such a change being made is a clear indicator that they're either afraid to ask questions of the management for fear of reprisals, or that they've simply stopped caring about what management does, because they've lost faith in the leadership.

Either way, it's a clear case of mismanagement and miscommunication.

Nothing to do with a software project CoC.

[JOB] Technical Lead Within Java/Clojure in Prop-Tech Startup in Berlin
Well, yeah, unfortunately majority of Ukrainians are not smart enough to overcome those problems (mainly with Russia). But even without IQ qualification for voting, I hope, they will be able to rule over the state right. I don't participate in voting as you can guess from my profile...

Regarding the taxes. They are not that discriminating! Because in absolute values other workers may pay to the state even less than programmers. A good programmer may earn up to $3000 every month, so $3000·5% = $150 is what he gives to the state in taxes. An ordinary worker earns (official stat) $350 a month, so he gives only $350·40% = $140. I am not sure about 40% though...

We also have very low prices here too. For instance, potatoes cost only ¢15/kg, so if you are European or American you are welcome to spend your money here : )

I disagree. Have you ever tried to deal with them? I've never experienced a company so hostile towards a customer. They are as money hungry as they were a decade ago, if not more.
> but at the same time it seems there is a fee for "Paying a direct debit.", not sure what is comprised within that term, does that mean every time we pay with a card?

No - a "direct debit" in banking is where you give, e.g. Vodafone, your bank details and permission that they may debit your account once a month to pay your phone bill. For completeness, a "standing order" is similar - a monthly recurring payment to someone else.

The primary difference is that, with a direct debit, the company can change the amount to be paid each month - e.g. if you go over your plan and incur extra changes, they can just debit those from your account automatically.
> Because behaving like a decent human being is that hard, isn't it? If a code of conduct hurts your feelings that much maybe you're just not cut out for collaborative work.

If you haven't noticed, YouTube's ranking mechanisms became more "fraudulent" at least in the recent months. So besides having a service that provides un-editorialized blackbox algorithm rankings, this service might also provide a view to purposefully/bugged excluded content.

An example of how bad it is, they've started (on purpose or not) removing videos of uploaders that aren't taking part of the YouTube monetarization + have a Patreon link in their description. [0][1]

I'd expect/hope that such practice would be suit in EU courts for unfair competition.

I wonder how "Fair Trending" implemented their technology, if they are using official YouTube APIs and if Alphabet is going to kill this service once it gains traction?

There needs to be more frank discussions about corporate and vested interests and how to protect the independence of the kernel which Linus has managed well till now.

Automatic assumptions that what is good for Redhat or Google is good for everyone do not hold. These companies have real power, thousands of employees, media and industry support, funding, and lots of people reluctant to go against them or keen to curry favour so they can overwhelm any decision or discussion with resources. This must be recognized.

Linus is obviously not easy to replace but there should be some kind of succession planning and also thinking in detail about how to retain the independence of the development process from powerful interests.

This latter is something that not enough attention has been paid to in open source. Security fud is often used to raise complexity and indirectly encourage corporate interests and monopoly. The control of standards is also used to push complexity and raise barriers.

In the long term its only the ability of smaller groups to develop software that can ensure users are not held hostage by vested interests. The Linux kernel is hugely important to open source and it needs to be managed well to encourage and motivate the next generation of contributors.
And still, the simulator is not the same as running on-device. Much of the iOS security model is non-existent in the simulator. If you’ve ever written an AppEx using a shared container, you know that. (Or you’re running to verify your code works on-device right now)

The simulator has to render the screen via the macOS display device, and I can tell you my trusty Radeon 5870 is only up for rendering about 5 frames per second in the simulator.

I’m pretty sure any Metal apps will be wildly different in the simulator.

I don’t even consider myself an expert iOS Programmer at this point, and I can come up with three examples off the top of my head. I’m sure there are plenty more. And there’s a reason every single iOS library or widget on GitHub requires all bug reports to be made only after testing on-device.
Our SREs are pretty good too!
I’m a gay man too and I flee conferences, OSS and companies that emphasize code of conducts. It’s highly linked to the intention of increasing female ratio and decreasing meritocracy, and it generally means the organization has fallen prey to a politically motivated agenda and becomes less focussed on business. I guess only successful ones with high margins do that. When you find business-centered no-bullshit people who undertake attempts, risks and ambitious projects, violent criticism is part of the deal, but extreme competence too.

The fact that Linus himself goes for a retreat to reevaluate himself, despite staying under the nanodjikstra unit, is deeply worrying for the future of open-source. If they’ve succeeded to break him down, they’ll take ownership of the rest.

Why Uber Is the Revenge of the Founders (2017)
> I'd like to see a serious investigation and discussion around the recommendation engines [...] Something is seriously wrong with youtube's algorithm

I had a pretty surreal experience last year. My youtube use is almost exclusively for learning; coding, maths, astronomy, science, and so on. Recommendations were never great for me, usually recommending videos I've already watched. At some point I inadvertently clicked a link to a teenage girl's vlog, and watched maybe 5 seconds of it before closing. Instantly half of my recommendations were teenage girl's vlogs. I then misclicked a video in recommendations a few days later, and it turned into exclusively teenage girl vlogs. A year later, it's slightly recovered, but I still get them.

I am pretty confident their recommendation would not be overrun with science if they inadvertantly click a video.
I'd prefer something easy to use with quick onramp like RobinHood. I had tried to register with IB UK, their registration process was super complex with many pages of information needed and in the middle of me filling the registration form their server went down and I lost whatever I have filled in already. I settled down for buying stocks via my bank account which has some archaic broker, it costs 11 pounds per transaction so it incentivises me to only do few bigger trades and to hold for a long time I guess.
Agreed. Education by itself and the benefits it gives are very long term, too. So this payment has benefit in that it's a quicker return than plain education and would impact a net amount of people. Perhaps there may even be network effects in that those that are able to plan for this medium-term returns can convince and be examples for those that aren't able to.
Damn, so if you move away from the UK you technically shouldn't still possess a UK bank account?

Edge is not a bad browser at all, however if you are signed in Windows it will do same shit - sync everything automatically so I would avoid using it if you care about privacy.

Email seems like more of a free market than most things considering the incredibly low barrier to entry. You can even host your own email server, you can't reasonably do that with a lot of the software that you use every day.

Just because a particular provider is good and cheap and has a lot of satisfied customers doesn't make it any less of a free market.

Once you add the words like Gmail or replace Gmail or instead of Gmail then no, it's not thousands of companies offering similar services. Running a service in Port 457 is the least of the offerings. It has to have spam detection as good as Postini, sieve, IMAP, utf-8 support, tls certificate management, a web portal, DNS and related domain management.

The killer is five nines availability. That's pricey.

I used to run mailsystems and maintain mailsystems code in the 1980s. I don't do it now because it has too many moving parts. I got a grandfathered domain into hosted by Google and it's worth a damn sight more than the apparent market force bottom price.

Hardware or software or service your competitors have to be comparable or at least bearable to apply price pressure. I do not judge fastmail as price competitive because they (like apple) are competing in quality. Not price.

FastMail appears to be $50/year if you want your own domain. --Maybe there's a discount for multi-year signups, but I can't find it in their pricing details.
