I don't believe SDD would work for these reasons:

1) people that start a serious open source product must be self-assured and innately isolated from any external community/pressure in order to avoid distractions from their goal. Shame has likely 0 effect, or negative (i.e. the person/group doing the shaming would get banned from any future interaction). It takes a certain type of person that is likely "very thorny" to the outside world unless persuaded by desired qualities in other people that want to interact.

2) those projects often start as angry reactions to what is happening in the outside "meatspace" (corruption, vendor lock-in, "voluntary" censorship, you-can-buy-everyone, selling underwhelming/dangerous stuff for a lot of money etc.); doing things differently when they start working inevitably invokes feelings of superiority over people that "just don't get it"/"noobs" and it's difficult to resist temptation of showing off. Or external people are viewed as "conformists to old ways" that would prevent better things from happening in order not to disrupt current status quo they benefit from, hence interacting with them is not desirable (and arguably dangerous until project really makes it)

3) having to wade through a lot of new issues daily and cherry pick the ones that are worth examining is time consuming and tiring. After doing this for a while it likely leads to anger and telling off someone is a way to vent

4) popular free/open source projects that made it are often targeted by people trying to subvert them for their hidden agendas; any original developer intelligent enough can be at least disturbed if not outraged by that; harsh reactions following. "How would you punish those subverters?" is a better question than to penalize a developer that was easily provoked to an angry outburst by those poking at their weak areas (and that's often trivial with honest technical folks)

5) priority of creators is often getting things done as fast as they could; "unnecessary social talk" is often viewed as a waste of effort/time, and honestly it often is, unfortunately. If they decide that at some point "talking nice" is leading to being more efficient, they would do work on it, but not before they perceive it that way.

6) Many junior developers think that they are entitled to some coding celebrity's special attention instead of taking the hard way, improving themselves and then contributing when they are finally able to.
I agree with you, people can do all kinds of terrible things especially for the sake of profit. I believe comparing defense contractors and firearms manufacturers with eating people could be considered disingenuous, however.
Respect is earned not given. Treating others with common decency is expected in a professional environment, and that's a two way street where both parties need to have a common understanding of what decency is. Finding that commonality becomes harder the more "diverse" the community involved is. People's cultural, religious and political beliefs clash and have for thousands of years, and no we're not going to be the generation to solve those issues. There are fundamental differences in how women socialize versus men. This stuff isn't as easy as "be kind to each other". Your "kindness" might be rude to me, and my "kindness" might be rude to you. Therefore I argue that the moment you start enforcing social justice you've kicked productivity in the nuts and stifle productivity for everyone involved. Instead you're going to spend your time checking off boxes about people's immutable physical traits and filling quotas of identity groups within an organization and everyone loses. The employee, the consumer, even the bystander.

Maybe 10% of women in software is just fine. Maybe women aren't being shooed away, and are just choosing other things to spend their time on. Maybe forcing women to go into STEM and SE is wrong. Maybe leaving people to make their own professional choices and not punishing people for some ideological virtue is the good thing to do.

Respect implies holding someone in high regard, as special. Or to refrain from interfering with. It's fair that in this context it's the latter that's primarily being referred to. That means respect comes with hard work that can be shown and proven. A strong track record. Being the best, having what it takes to rise out from the others. No everyone deserves respect because, frankly most people aren't special or rock star material. I'm not. If I was you'd know.

Nations that sincerely object to what happened have it within their power to pass something like the Magnitsky Act[1] against those involved. The act was signed in to law after the murder and torture of Sergei Magnitsky, who had uncovered Russian corruption.[2]

Tongue-in-cheek :-P but I do think that Viaweb is relevant here: their original business model (it was called Webgen) was to let people host their sites with them. They were also the first to figure out "cloud" where they ran their customers generated code on their infrastructure.

I believe after building Viaweb, PG had a similar idea of an IDE + language + infrastructure to allow people to build and ship applications from the browser.
Fakespot has been popular for years, and spam reviewers haven't been able to game it.
Just not enough info in that readme. A simple example would help a lot - showing input file and output file. It can be the most trivial case (10 line files).

I'm also concerned about a tool which must get updated in time with compilers. That means that there will always be some period where the two are out of sync - and that is unacceptable for any project I've ever worked on.
You were talking about high end processors with register renaming though, right? At that point you have stuff like L2 caches which take up way more transistors than the register file. And with one register file the space near it is going to be at a premium as you try to squeeze both the integer and floating point execution units near to it. But with separate clusters you can surround your integer register file with the integer bypass network and the integer execution resources and you can surround your floating point execution unit with your floating point execution units and bypass network. It's the same reason, mostly, that processors have split data/instruction L1 caches - you want to put the cache near the structures that use it.

What's even more shocking to me is when someone graduates from a B.A., manages to pay the $35,000 debt or so, and then immediately signs up for $100,000+ in professional graduate debt, specifically MBA or Law programs.

Most medical programs have a decent ROI, but many MBAs and JD programs add questionable value.

For many, the debt becomes a 20 year ROI curve. After just 7 years in industry, I can't imagine being forced to make decisions based on debt rather than desire.

> Those "thousands of diverse communities" include the ones who were using their religion as a pretext to burn heretics/witches, torture homosexuals and in general oppress the weak and the diverse as well as the ones that today are still trying to infuse young people with their toxic shame when they are non-conforming.

A repeat of the Spanish flu would be one thing, and honestly I don't know how likely it is. Unlikely but hugely destructive would be one way to say it -- I also doubt there would be another potential candidate, because the only way for new super destructive diseases that don't burn themselves out before they spread would be to create the kind of European medieval city that for centuries killed more people than were born there and which was full of filth.

Unfortunately most of those involved are at least a little bit right, and I'm not sure that we SE users who are upset have concerns that make any sense out of context. :) They don't have anything directly to do with the original tweet. I probably shouldn't even have linked the article.

I'm a bit late in replying, so I understand if you don't reply.

I'm going to ignore the specific arguments about the gold standard and cryptocurrency. It's certainly relevant to the discussion, but I'd like to avoid getting caught in the weeds.

What exactly is bad about deflation? All that's changing is the number printed on labels for buying goods. Instead of prices "going up", prices "go down". Inflation encourages spending and investing, deflation encourages saving, and monetary policy seems to always put us in the "inflation" end of the spectrum.

The real problem that needs to be addressed is rapid fluctuations, and from what I can tell, central banking causes the boom/bust cycle we're seeing instead of preventing it. Prices for goods at the store may remain constant, but valuations in the market certainly don't.

So my question is, would it really be so bad to have inflation instead of deflation by having less government involvement in the market? We can even have multiple currencies if you don't want to put your eggs in the same basket (gold, crypto, some other commodity)

I keep wondering about adwords buying for a small SAAS.

At $1/click, and then maybe 1%-5% conversion for a paying user, and even if this is a generous 100$ annual subscription .. its just terrible.

Does this really work long term ?

Is this something that requires government oversight or is it just a business plan/strategy. If the latter then the free market should tell you that your plan is right or wrong. If it requires government overshight I would say its inherently flawed. "Fake news" isnt a problem the problem is a lazy populace that take any word for granted as long as the production value is good enough.

Fake news is how free speech is supposed to work. People get to say what they want and the populace decides for themselves what is right or wrong. Liable and slander are still in effect.
You can't really get moderator privileges on SO without first being one of the "People who answer questions".

You can't cast a close vote without having 3,000 reputation. Even just downvoting requires 125 reputation. The _least_ experienced [diamond moderator][1] on StackOverflow has over 19,000 reputation. Reputation is earned, primarily, by answering questions. So your assumption that "moderators" are distinct from the other two categories of users is incorrect.

My X1 Carbon is only three years old and already looks really crappy. I take it everywhere with me and it's been through a lot - I'm not exactly gentle. To be honest I kind of like how dinged up it is, shows the nice history of planes and coffee shops we've had together and yet it keeps chugging along.
I'm not sure diversity is a measurable goal (you can never be too diverse, and there are so many ways to be diverse beyond sexuality, gender, skin colour, etc.) but diversity in and of itself has nothing to do with identity politics.

Similarly so, what sense does it make to 'correct' a bias? More often than not that means trading one bias for another, not becoming purely unbiased.

I got caught this weekend where I linked an image on Facebook, and it generated the preview properly but the link is broken because the host 404's with the added fbclid parameter.

So sure, there may be an argument that the server should ignore that param. But it's absolutely false to say it "isn't breaking anything".
Dear Open Source, It Was Fun While It Lasted
With all due respect only making 1 post on HN is not in my opinion effective marketing.
I think there are probably a number of reasons it's different.

1) 1000 5-star reviews with maybe a handful of 3,2,1 star reviews trickling in as actual consumers realize their mistake is less of a signal not to buy than if I see another low review trickled in amongst the 10-20 5-star reviews.

2) The company defrauding by purchasing the reviews is not going to make their money back as quickly probably since they won't end up on top of search results as often. So these companies will be stretched a lot thinner and probably recoup their expenses a lot slower than if they start instantly showing up on top of peoples' search results. And in order to keep from "floating" a bunch of free stuff without reviews they'll have to be extremely coordinated about how they distribute their products and request recipients to provide the reviews in order to make it a worth while pursuit.

Of course because there are many many plants.

The wood Gidgee - which "maybe maybe" poisoned someone in an afternoons exposure - is not known to be "poisonous" to the wood-database:

"This revolutionary theory – his Liquidity Preference Theory – is still considered too radical to be acceptable today."

What? Liquidity preference was taught in my undergrad macro class using the textbook by Greg Mankiw. It's the basis of the IS/LM model. And central banks are constantly worrying about interest rates and liquidity. To whom is it too radical? Probably some people disagree with it, but I wouldn't call it very "radical" today. The author is fighting straw men.
> a ThinkPad remains a ThinkPad.

Uhm, no. My a20p, bought in 2001 still works. I only swapped the HD once and the keyboard every 6 months or so. I bought my last thinkpad 4 years ago and (given limited time and budget) had only a single model to choose because I wanted metal hinges instead of plastic ones.
Even more reason to shop online..

Though just not going outside is not a solution, we definitely need legislation for this.
Even ignoring the morality, this is all ultimately driving the adoption of ad blocking. Advertising online is an industry digging its own grave, which would be fine except they’re going to bury a lot of those small and indie sites with them.
At least one of the items you can spend Jeff Bezos's money on ("End homelessness in the United States (-$20 billion)") is argumentative, since the government at different levels has arguably spent a much larger amount than that already. The only tally I see attempted is from an admittedly small-government-bias outlet (the Cato Institute, estimating $15 trillion), which many people seem to believe is inflated. Even if it's off by, say 2 orders of magnitude, you're still left with the government having spent much more already.

Which shows two things:

1. Throwing money at a problem is not enough.
2. The idea of just taking rich people's money to fix problems is not enough.

Also, one of the further items ("Fund NASA for a year (-$20 billion)"): Jeff Bezos is already spending a billion dollars every year to fund a private space company. I don't know why the assumption is that it's a "vanity" project.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ring overstated their impact.

That being said systems like Ring are pretty amazing. I can log on and people around the neighborhood (big city) are posting videos/images of people who broke into their house or were acting suspiciously late at night. I imagine even if just a slice of these lead to arrests in the short term it could lead to a very good impact in the future (both because the people who were stealing would have likely repeated if they weren't caught + if it becomes perceived as harder to rob a house less people will attempt it).
It sounds like this trend is exactly what Facebook wants. They buy some software (and its people) and mold it to their specifications whether or not it costs that team its most senior management/visionaries.

The more interesting thing will be to see what happens when all of these ex-CEOs have left and how Facebook has managed to maintain all of these acquisitions without the key leaders of each division.

Stack Overflow is still far and away the best site of its kind, but it has stagnated significantly over the last several years.

Recessions have become increasingly less frequent since Keyenes.

This^ I actually quite like the design because it's so easy to create connectors in the field with a couple simple tools. Don't have to strip the conductors or solder anything, just cut the sheath off, align the wires and shove it into the crimper.

Edit: and all this with connectors that are dirt cheap.
IO can happen by message queue that thee OS looks at from time to time, context switching can be initiated by a lot of algorithms that don't need to invalidate your pipeline state, and OS calls can be entirely synchronous.

Interruptions are mostly a bad legacy from the time our computers were slow, kept around for compatibility reasons.
Well, more like hyperthreads than cores, if I understand the Propeller correctly.

The earliest implementation of hyperthreaded hardware for doing I/O that I am aware of is the CDC 6000 series, announced in 1959, if I recall correctly. The CDC 6X00 Peripheral Processor Units (PPU) were actually a single processor logic cluster, with 10 copies of the PPU state (which old-timers called "the PPU barrel"), yielding effectively 10 I/O processors that ran at 1/10 the master clock frequency of the CPU. I/O drivers were written as PPU code that actually polled the I/O device. The PPU could scribble anywhere it wanted in main memory, so the PPU did all the work of moving data from the peripheral into main, or out from mem to device. Interrupts were very simple -- the PPU computed an interrupt vector address and more-or-less just jammed it into the CPU program counter. But the net effect was that on a Cyber 6000 (later Cyber 170-series) machine, much of the I/O was delegated to the PPU's, and thus a single interrupt represented the completion of a large amount of work.
https://forums.parallax.com/discussion/154310/parallax-needs...

There is some discussion there.

It is a really great device. The two most common exceptions are price and language support.

In many designs, the chip can replace several.

Early on, yes. Was SPIN and PASM (assembly language, but no where as hard as one would imagine) Today, C, and other languages are well supported.

It is a true multi-processor. The developer can choose freely between concurrency and parallelism as needed. Combining code objects is crazy easy too.

Concurrent can be something like a video display on one core, or COG as they are known, keyboard, SD card, mouse on another. Once done, those two cores would appear much like hardware to a program running on another one.

Parallel could be several cores all computing something at the same time. Doing a mandelbrot set is an example of both.

Main program directs the set computation, one core outputs video, the remaining ones work a little like shaders do, all computing pixels.

Interrupts could have made a few niche things a tiny bit better. Mostly they really are not needed.

I had a ton of fun programming and doing some automation with this chip.

It's second gen will tape out, and early revision chips already have. Real chips, back from the fab for a final round of polish and testing.

On those, every single pin has DAC ADC, a smart pin processor and a variety of modes and pullups, pulldowns all configurable in softwares. It is a little like having a mini scope with good triggers on each pin.

Interrupts are present, but no global ones, nor with any ability to interfere with other cores.

This will keep the lego like feature of grabbing drivers and other code, and having it act like built in hardware, while at the same time making for event driven code that is easily shared and or combined with other code.

Interrupts are called events and there are 16 of them, three priority levels, and that is per core, 8 cores total.

People can build crazy complex things able to input signals or data, process with high speed accurate CORDIC, and stream data or signals out.

Freaking playground. I have been running an FPGA dev system for a while now. That is 80 Mhz.

Real chips will clock at 250 Mhz and up through about 350.

The most terrifying thing about CoCs for me is their seeming ability to extend outside of the project and into the personal lives of the contributors. Expressing the wrong political/religious view on social media could attract a mob to hound you off of an arbitrary project you contribute to. For example, simply stating that you support Trump on Twitter could be sufficient to make people feel unwelcome according to some CoCs and get you kicked out.
