> The way we do this, rather than ordering people to be kind or else, is try to help people learn to make their communication more kind.

This is excellent; using love and persuasion to help someone improve is so much better than by force, compulsion, and fear. How many children rebel against restrictive and domineering parents? but a child who is loved and taught, but allowed to make choices and pursue independence usually ends up much healthier and happier.

>I disagree with making "diversity" a goal. If the developers in a specific free software project do not include demographic D, I don't think that the lack of them as a problem that requires action; there is no need to scramble desperately to recruit some Ds.
>Rather, the problem is that if we make demographic D feel unwelcome, we lose out on possible contributors. And very likely also others that are not in demographic D.

This dovetails in so nicely as well. You get more bees with honey than vinegar, and it is better to make a project open, kind, mentor-friendly, and productive-- which furthers the industriousness and quality of a product. Let all come who desire to come and treat them in the spirit of kindness and co-operation, but giving no preference or overt recruitment campaigns, which in themselves could end up sidelining or diverting attention from the true aims of the project.

I don't always agree with Stallman, but I think this is a magnificent and well-thought out plan and response.
That is a pretty interesting take on what was called "single system image" in the past: but instead of worrying about all the pieces on a system, they made the system "inside out" and just worry about scheduling processes.
I find c) to be correct, I observe the same thing. But, given that I perceive Stallman as even less self-aware in that aspect than Linus, baby steps it is indeed.

Must disagree. If you have money it is easier to find equality/justice. My favorite example: If you can afford it, you can get a license plate expressing your support for the state police (or your state bird). You can add to that fraternal order decals further expressing your support for the police. Does your willingness and ability to purchase those things make you MORE or LESS likely to receive special treatment during a traffic stop than someone without the ability to do so. Think about this.
No. Instead make the “Accepted” moniker have people do “Seconded” for whatever latest version it still works for.

Although I agree with you in a general sense, in this case there was no blacklist mistakenly used.

If the server is configured to serve uploaded files securely, it is feasible to allow all file types for upload (e.g. think of Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage).

However since there is no way to ensure that the server security settings to securely handle uploaded files are applied, limiting file uploads with a whitelist minimizes the attack vector sufficiently.

If you still support IE11 very little has changed in the last 2-3 years. JQuery is still king. Companies that support large enterprise or government absolutely require IE11 support, since these places are required to use it due to exclusive e.g. Java Applets/Flash/ActiveX, etc.

Microsoft's decision to drop those technologies from Edge was kind a mixed bag. From a security perspective it was the right decision. But it has also stuck many of us developing for a non-evergreen browser, even while our users are on Windows 10.

IE11 is the new IE6.

You're using a line of argument that I see quite often in day to day stuff (outside the kernel) so I have to push back on this.

>would have more weight for me if [...] It came from major Linux contributors.

The group of people you would give the most weight to the opinion of are also the group under the most pressured not to voice dissent publicly.

It isn't wrong to look to them or give large weight to their positions. The error is in assuming that we can know their position beyond their choice not to rock the boat. It might be very easy (they're in full agreement) or very tricky (blood boiling, but "not their hill to die on").

All we know is that they do not dissent to the level that they are willing to risk their involvement in the project at hand, or have a damaged reputation when they try to participate in another.
Regarding repairability, the mid-2000s Dell Latitude line (D600, D620, D630 etc) had similar repairability as well. I worked at my college's IT helpdesk back then and the repairs were easy to make for even student employees whose only reference points were the Dell Service Manual and a couple of training sessions.

I am curious to know if that is still the case.

I have very little sympathy for these companies getting called out. Many of them gleefully throw themselves into the political arena when they can capitalize on things like pride or international women's day for cheap progressive points and some marketing exposure yet shirk away from the conversation about where they get their investment money from. I would say this is a nice lesson for a lot of marketing departments. If you're going to interject yourself, as a company, into the political arena, you have to be all in otherwise you will get called out like this eventually.
I don't see a meaningful difference between personal and political spending here. If I can pay a politician to enact a policy I want, perhaps to the detriment of his constituency or society at large, what do I care if he goes on to spend that money on sports cars or his campaign to retain office? As far as I'm concerned it's quid pro quo either way.

I think you'll both find that the majority of Americans are neither far left nor far right. The "echo chamber" of the internet will tell you otherwise, of course, but that's a case of the vocal minority.
I think this would be covered under assuming people are acting in good faith but I absolutely agree this is something that should be stated explicitly.

Don't treat someone who says they felt hurt or excluded as someone overly sensitive. Because even when someone gets the wrong impression you may find it valuable to reflect on why that impression was received in the first place.

And please don't treat people who try to point out exclusionary or hurtful language like they're your adversary or trying to control you -- it can be incredibly hard for people of disprivileged demographics to speak up for themselves. I have to rely on the defense of others constantly because when I speak for myself I'm not taken seriously.

My post didn't say a whole hell of a lot, yet it seems to have triggered you quite a bit. Ask yourself why that is.

In response, I would just say that, yes, I do understand the recent tax bill. At it's core, it's part of a long term plan to reduce government by starving it for money, at the same time it is a giveaway to large campaign donors. These are not speculation, but directly acknowledged by the spineless and craven Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan.

This is a classic ad hominem argument.

There was a claim made, someone asked for evidence, and then a third person provided the evidence. Done. This is a good way for discussions to work. What would really kill the discussion is if people stopped and gathered evidence first, and compiled it into every comment they made. I trust people are skeptical enough not to believe garbage, and if they’re curious they can ask questions or do additional research themselves.

It depends on the hardware. There may be offloading for h.264, VP8, for different profiles and for encoding or decoding. But not all combinations are available on all machines. So software decoding may still be needed.

Now software decoders are often written with some hand-optimized assembly loops, but those optimized variants don't cover all possible target platforms and not every single loop is hand-optimized. So everything that's either a plain-C fallback or just hasn't been optimized can benefit from compiler improvements.
The status quo seems inconsistent with their mission (stated as "earth's most customer-centric company").

It's a compromise. You can still get a T480, which does all the things you list afaik. But I'm glad that I can also get an X1 Carbon, which is much thinner and lighter. These things aren't achievable without making some compromises. And for how integrated they are, they're still incredibly repairable. Here's the hardware maintenance manual for mine (X1 Carbon 5, last year's model): https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/x1_carbon_5th.... It includes instructions how to replace virtually every part in the machine. Broken screen? Fried mainboard? Broken TrackPoint? This is how you replace it.

The more annoying change (imho) is how hard it's become to replace the keyboard. That used to be really easy, remove a handful of screws, slide out the keyboard, and unplug the connector. Now it requires disassembling the entire machine, at least for the X series.
If we had a single organization developing our national CPU manufacturing process, it would likely have been staffed much like Intel, since Intel is the big gorilla and the people best able to climb the organizational ladder ended up there. Thus, I think it would be more accurate to say that this is an example of why you DON'T have a single, national organization do something as important as this.
The compiler is irrelevant here as stdint.h can come from a variety of sources. There's no reason to not have stdint.h, even on ancient as dirt embedded systems stuck on C89. Even in the worst case of there's no vendor-provided one you can still just define it yourself using a copy from almost anywhere else, there's very little to it.
I'm pointing out that people who are very well off tend to criticize the culture that provides them with the comforts of modern life while being oblivious about the benefits of their culture which they enjoy. I made no claim about other kinds of people.
It used to be that Sears house brands--Kenmore, Craftsman, etc--provided good value to the customer. Not luxury or top-of-the line, but reliable stuff that worked and was worth what you paid for it. But in recent years that hasn't really been true. But then, it's not really true for just about anyone any more. Amazon copied the Sears model--sell everything to everyone--but it has also opened the floodgates of third-party sellers selling cheap crap and counterfeit goods. It's less like the old Sears and more like an old-world medieval bazaar.

"What happens when I use your service?
When you use your project specific Javascript file and add the license key meta tag to your project's HTML, we'll validate the use of your product on pageload with a GET request to our server. We'll check our records to see if a valid license is used and that the license is used on an allowed domain. If not, we'll show the user an Access Denied page (which you can customize) and notify you about the breach."

Lovely design. I feel this could provide value for a lot of indie developers. However, the copy could use some work..

There are two reasons why you may have 0 users:

1. Users don't want the product you are offering

2. Users don't know about the product you are offering

Your first job should be to distinguish which issue you have. You can probably Duckduckgo some basic benchmarks to figure out what the conversion is if you are talking to the right people.

For instance, if you are advertising in first class lounges to pay off student loans, that is just a waste. You have to look at your where you are placing the ads, or how you are reaching customers first.

If you know that is right, then you should talk to a few customers to see if you are offering the right thing.

The second is fixable, the first might be. It is only a failure if the first point (can you iterate the product to something people actually want in a reasonable time at a reasonable cost) is not fixable.
Fascinating. The degree to which you micro-manage yourself with the "recurring goals" is a bit shocking tbh, but seeing the data stack up over 4-5 years is instructive.

I have 3 main observations/questions:

1) what happens to the goals you don't attain?
2) are they prioritized in some way?
3) having 1.035 activities in a qtr seems like a lot. how do you think about the "upper limit"?

I lead a large team and fount this useful for empowering individuals in their own development, and also highlighting what you're working on, routinely (beyond JIRA/Github).
> If you talk to a majority of nodes and ask "this is what we all have, right?"

You cannot know this, because the transaction replication is racy and not atomic--it may have applied to only one node while you are doing your read. Whether you see it or don't is luck. So you can have the following scenario (and in practice you will):

- TX commit begins

- TX replicated to node A

- Read from coordinator A' begins

- Read sees replica A (has tx) and replica B (does not)

- Read assumes A wins because of some kind of vector clock in the data value (choosing the older value doesn't make things better, just in case you are wondering)

- Read from coordinator B' begins

- Read sees B (no TX) and C (no TX)

- Read completes with stale value--serializability violation has occurred

- TX finishes replicating to B and C

This leaves aside write skew, torn transactions due to partitions, and all kinds of other problems.

The article's assumption that the core demographics (of men 20-34 let's say) are not foregoing their basic needs is flawed -- not only are most of them living in much smaller spaces than they were before, they are also less likely to have children to support(which is a basic need for most people) for a bunch of reasons most of which have nothing to do with either video games or the preference of young men.

Largely, young men need less money even for their basic everyday consumption (and so they have more time to spend on leisure). This is to a lesser extent true of young women (which are not discussed in the article even though their participation is also lowered -- are they playing video games too? Maybe those mobile games? Are there Facebook games still today?).

Have you ever spoken to a police officer? I've worked with several, I've served on a borough council and a civil service commission, I've been contracted out to regional and state law enforcement agencies.

Nobody cares about the little sticker you put on your license plate. It's a $5 fundraiser. In my state I think the non-LEO license plates you're talking about are an extra $30 or $40 on top of your normal registration fees.

The only thing I've ever heard having any affect like what you're implying are the "police courtesy cards," PBA/FOP cards, whatever they're called in your state. And I haven't heard of them actually preventing any punishment, just incurring more of it.
Depends on what "per license" means. It's a license-managing software, that can have multiple project licenses, and... It gets confusing which license a "license" refers to.

All in all, it's not unusual to pay 10k, 30k or even 100k USD a year for a core technology like that. For example, self-hosted JIRA costs 8.3k USD per year (if you want updates) for 100+ users, and you usually have several services just from Atlassian in this price range.
I don't know how much this is still true but traditionally Intel processes have better drive currents but more restrictive design rules than their competitors' at a given node. So I'm skeptical that their densities would equal TSMC's in practice. This isn't to deny that Intel 10nm and TSMC 7nm are roughly equivalent, just to say they make different trade offs in a way that chart doesn't cover.
