> Well, for what its worth, I mostly agree with the author, except I never felt Ruby has made me "happy" more than any other programming language with at least some semi-decent features.

In surveys, Ruby hasn't (to my knowledge) scored highest in developer happiness for a very long time (if ever). Languages that don't tie themselves to a subjective tagline like that do, though. Rust, for example, has a pretty clear direction and mission and has some of the most excited and happy users in every survey I've seen.

Trying to talk about developer happiness as some kind of defining characteristic has always been a bad idea and I think, ironically, you end up with unhappy users by using it as an ideal to make change in your language. I think it only gets worse when the paradigm the language is built on and how it expresses that paradigm is also susceptible to more bugs than the alternatives.

The only real way to optimize for developer happiness is to optimize aggressively for simplicity. The entire foundation of Ruby is a barrier to that and it doesn't have the good tooling, interactivity or introspection of something like Smalltalk to handle that.
So do Slack threads with videos in them.

Or a #standup channel where people send in videos, that's what we do.
Sometimes you'll be on a bus and you'll get a message that it has to wait for a short time at a stop (no more than 2 minutes usually), to even out the service. This is when it's getting too close to the bus in front, so it backs off to retain an even distribution of busses.
What you've described is essentially Puppet in masterless mode.

One of the reasons why I prefer Puppet to Ansible is the speed: Ansible in push mode is incredibly slow, even after applying all of the recommended tuning options and configuring Mitogen. I haven't yet used Ansible in pull mode on a large scale infrastructure, but I'd love to know if it's faster.
I have no skin in the game, but I'll drop in my 2 cents. This may be a PR piece or someone who's had this conversation a countless number of times and wanted to lay it out in a single place.

The points seem mostly fair, though I would argue what he argues is "not possible" with an free or open source model is that it's "more difficult" to coordinate.

As an example, R is my go-to language, but the function arguments and style can be vastly different from function to function or package to package. Here I have found MATLAB to be more consistent in this regard. Python's kind of a mix - the core of Python is like one language and Numpy, Pandas another, but it does reflect the semi-independent management of these projects.

For me taking notes on my phone is usually as easy as clicking on an app, clicking new page and then typing. I have never had any problems with crashing, synching, notifications or opening the app that you mention. I find it much easier and better than taking notes on paper.

My handwriting is terrible and I can type faster on my phone than handwrite things. I have become significantly more organized since transitioning all my note taking and ideas to my phone rather than handwriting on some notebook where it will be forgotten and likely illegible.
4g wouldn't change the main thread issues.

Also, it's a mistake for developers to assume that everyone is on 4g, and that those on 4g are experiencing good speeds.

Even in London, if you're at a train station that's hit by delays, connectivity grinds to a halt as everyone starts looking for alternative transport.

In the big cities in India, 4g is pretty much always like that.
Even worse, wasn't it Facebook claiming to some of your friends that you used this feature even when you didn't?

> Suddenly you'll be forced to either accept a code of conduct, or actively choose not to do so.

A strange example considering codes of conduct are forcing people to become more apolitcal. They force politics into venues were it didn't exist before.

> The footballer will need to decide whether or not to take a knee during the national anthem

Not kneeling is apolitical, it doesn't mean you condone any stance whatsoever.

I'm getting the impression you only want political opinions that you agree with to be shared, s let's take a real political stance that isn't controversial on HN , "Should society accept homosexuality?". For me that's and easy yes and I'm sure most of HN would agree. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you do as well, correct? Well a sizeable chunk of your country (which ever one it is), most of the middle east, most of Asia, most of Africa, most of Eastern Europe and much of the Latin America disagree (https://www.pewglobal.org/2013/06/04/the-global-divide-on-ho...). Most of the world disagrees in fact.

Are you telling me you want most of them to be spouting "We shouldn't accept homosexuality" on every video of them doing a backflip on a bike?
This is a good idea, I got tempted to try this. Found this page on their homepage (in Swedish): https://www.klarna.com/se/dataskydd/

Where it says you can email this address "dataskydd@klarna.se" if you either want them to delete your data (except data they are required to store as a bank) or if you want a print out of your personal information they store.

Curiously, I don't remember Google or Facebook ads saying: "join us! we shall delete or hide your data. remember we are a private company, not a public forum" back then when they were not rich.
That's exactly why they spend that much money. They know you can be submitted. They want tech talent. Not revolutionists. It's a rough world out there and it's better to get in line than lose your pot of gold.

Doesn't make it right at all. But if you were that engineer, it's easier to say to yourself that you'll work your way up and change things the day you are in charge.
> In crypto the public uses M0 directly

Hey, the public also use bank notes with unique serial numbers. That has no bearing at all on institutions who hold your assets for you, as they don’t generally let you audit them.
100% agree. Would have thought $5.3m is barely be enough to fund a proper advertising campaign.
>Those options are presented to users who click on the words “Need help?” in one corner of the page.

Hiding something under completely unrelated link is not presenting your options in any way which is remotely close to being honest.

Just when you think these idiots couldn't come up with any more dumb shit.
I think people look at only payments and all the media hype is around payments.

A lot of things with M2M communications, be it microgrids, industrial IoT networks, self driving cars that can manage payments and invoicing themselves, blockchain networks can be very effective. Fetch.ai was an interesting project that came out.

Data marketplaces are interesting, checkout numeraire and ocean network

Having non fungible assets on the internet currently is an impossibility, say having a special gun in fortnite that no one else can have. This may not appeal to everyone but I know a lot of gamers who would treat these as assets. I’m not sure but I don’t think any service on the Internet today can guarantee that only one copy of a digital piece of information exists, Blockchain’s can.

Current internet infrastructure depends on us trusting one organisation to manage critical infrastructure and I don’t think that’s really the optimum way for anything.

Governance and management of networks was something we've never thought of, but some of the best experiment in governance are running in the crypto world. I do think networks like Google and Facebook were something people never imagined, and the capitalistic model clearly rewards the builders asymmetrically. A network like Google or Facebook was built by its users and is still being built by its users. SV has propagated this stupid ideology that 10 upstarts were able to build a network that powerful and all the credit should go to them. I'm not sure what the solution to this is, but I do think users should receive a fraction of the value the networks make. And blockchains make it possible to build networks like this. Steem is an interesting experiment but hasn't gained much steam.

BAT is a great experiment that could change the direction of the internet. I'm not sure if their model would work, but I do think its an experiment that must happen. The future of the internet is at stake with the ad driven cess pool that it has become.

In terms on energy inefficiency, this has been a problem people have acknowledged and have been trying to solve, I think we’re less than 2 years away from a breakthrough in PoS which would make PoW redundant.

Either way, I think people obsess over payments too much. I'd obsess more over how this is the first time in the history of mankind we don't need a third party to supply trust. There is no trust premium on services, which can upend multiple services, finance being the obvious one but I think it's much larger than finance. I do think that there is a lot of noise in this space and its hard for anyone rationally observing to get a clear perspective on what's going on. I could go on all day and maybe even write a scifi fantasy but yeah, there's a lot of people working towards building the future, sadly its a small fraction compared to the number of people speculating and creating noise.
True but I was commenting on the writing, not the concepts.
I'm glad you asked it. It's in my future plan. It shouldn't be much hard. I would like to pursue it after of course getting LT stable(and maybe with some funding).
These books have reinforced my belief that all relationships are transactional. Why should romantic relationships be the exception? They have reinforced my belief that romance is something made up by guys for guys, that women gladly play into the romantic ideal to their own ends, and that by focussing on finding an interesting woman to date seriously as an end in itself, you lose that woman. It’s a lost cause. I don’t mean this negatively or positively.
Lets keep it civil. You suggested to “read history”. I responded with evidence that I have in fact read relevant history thoughtfully and arrived at a different conclusion.

You provide no evidence that the factors I list matter less than monetary policy. I actually think the Greenspan Put (ie low interest rates to stimulate the economy) is a good example because many people, including, it seems, you, identify that as the most causal and important factor in creating the subprime crisis. This type of monetary policy is relatively new, yet asset bubbles have existed throughout history, even where there wasn’t even a unified currency let alone a Federal Reserve that set such policy.

In fact, evidence suggests that it was driven by a new financial business model, securitization, where loans were no longer held by banks but placed into a special purpose companies with shares of that SPV sold to investors.

Underwriting began to be meaningless as the companies originating loans wanted more volume because they got fees and held no risk. Investors were told that financial engineering meant these assets were AAA and safe.

Also throw in the fact that investment banks that were doing the financial structuring were no longer general partnerships (where individual partners are personally liable for partnership debt) but for the first time limited liability companies or corporations, and you get a clear picture of psychological, and new business model innovation, driving the bubble.

Similar story with the savings and loan crisis. Monetary policy is easy to blame until you look deeper. As in the financial crisis, you had financial innovation “Junk Bonds”, and regulation changes that let S&Ls take risks and deploy capital where they were previously restricted. All while monetary policy was tightened drastically, which should deflate asset bubbles not create them.

Further it is a good counter example to the Greenspan Put because monetary policy was exactly the opposite of Greenspan; Volker was jacking up interest rates to kill inflation and yet Savings and Loans were taking crazy risky bets and created real estate and junk bond bubbles. If you’re theory is valid, it should have a prediction on what monetary policy would create. Simply saying “it is the most important factor” gives no information. What happens when monetary policy is tight and rates are high. What happens when it’s the opposite.

Lastly, you seem to imply that someone controls monetary policy. The financial crisis made it clear that shadow banking, derivatives, and general flow of funds between banks was orders of magnitude bigger than any thing the Fed controlled. These monetary instruments were the real driver of the mortgage bubble, not any monetary stimulus through low interest rates.

Is monetary policy important. Yes. Does it explain why Uber and Lyft and every other unicorn are getting investment easily. No. Does it predict or cause most bubbles. No. I am open to being convinced otherwise.
U.2, a.k.a. SFF-8639[1], in fact, is the successor of SAS.(It also allows legacy SAS and SATA usage.) So, it has a stronger enterprise inheritance. And so, the enterprise clients can even use the same disk cases/cages without any problem when updating.

Compared to M.2 form, U.2 has two benefits:

1. support hot-swapping(SAS-age enterprise character)

2. better thermal performance/heat dissipation(for larger shape)

for data centers, the future will be the EDSFF family[2](goodness of U.2+goodness of M.2). M.2 can still stay for the consumer market.

Thanks for such positive feedback :)

Yes, the "Free for Open Source" initiative is up and running. For now, we didn't promote it a lot because we wanted to learn how it works, but from what I know, the custom license that we proposed is already used by a couple of projects.

Based on the feedback that we got so far, we're right now working on a simplified version of this license. Its initial version still had some restrictions which didn't work for Apache2/MIT projects with a commercial branch. Plus, it was simply too long for normal people :). We're removing these limitations. Once it will be polished, we will talk about it more officially on ckeditor.com.
LinkedIn has been doing this for years. It's the reason why I don't use it (and the spam they send is the reason why everybody hates them).

They will probably have lower operating costs. That will be a reason. And when they demonstrated their reliability over time people will stop thinking about it. Pilot error is still the number 1 cause of plane crashes.

As a financial advisor, will A16Z have fiduciary responsibilities towards advisees that it doesn't now?

There's also https://standups.io which has been on the market for over a year, has traction, lots of cool features, an iOS app an Android app, and Slack integration.
I think there's different standards.

There's 'good enough' which is 4 hours and you're going to have bugs (maybe), it won't be as polished or as perfect as you like but it'll pass their test. And then there's 'production ready' which is your weekend project, you'll get it done in a couple of hours then spend the rest of the time polishing it and throwing it up as a side project.

It sounds maybe like for your take-home assignment you were trying to make your production ready app instead of just 'good enough'?

But getting better is just a matter of doing this stuff all day, every day!
It goes from 18m with open water, 30m with advanced, 40m with deep specialty. After that you get tech diving when it comes to depth.
> There is apathy

Thats a massive understatement from western point of view. I have only personal anecdotes, but tons of them due to backpacking all over India for 6 months. Generally the poorer the people, the better the character, with exceptions (which is maybe universal human trait).

Utter ignorance of plight or suffering of dalits you see everywhere (simply because there is 300 million of them). They will never get a fair chance in life like rest of wealthier society. The mostly IT folks you will meet in west (or on call support call) are never from this caste, they just can't escape the vicious circle of poverty.

Seeing young women not giving a nano-fraction of a f*ck about dog dying in the middle of the street from horrible wounds sustained from being hit by a car (literally stepping over it like it was some dirty rag, I sat there crying my eyes out and the memory is still strong in me even after 10 years).

When talking to young brahmin couple, educated, visited west, very nice, soft-spoken and polite, and they considered its perfectly fine that 5-year old kids of poor have to work in firework factory and will never go to school (and they are 1 mistake away from ending up as finger-less beggars for rest of the life). 'At least they bring home some money' was their mantra. I had strong urge to ask them if they would be OK for their daughter to walk the same path but didn't want to be nasty for their generosity (they gave me a ride when hitchhiking in Yamunotri).

The treatment of leprosy (or more precisely lack of it due to religion, aka kiss of god).

I could go on and on, 6 months gives you a bit of perspective especially when you cover a lot (mostly north, west and south, not much east) from such a massive and diverse country.

It is probably still the best country in the world to do backpacking, it can change your perspective on the world and life, but boy sometimes it was too much.
Yeah, they have the patent for the pizza box. Why expensive to transport instead it would have reduced the material. It's quite a small box as compared to the square box.
IMO pilots are there in case shit really hits the fan, or birds hit the turbofans: I doubt computers would be creative enough like Sullenberger and decide to land on a river.

And 2 pilots means 2 brains that can divide the workload...
I am a designer and implementor of vital speed and distance measurement systems, with triply modular redundancy, used in mass transit application.

I cannot even imagine what the designers of this thing are going through now. It must be terrible.

To make it worse, it's a confusing topic. There are two pillars to the design of such system.

1. Faulty sensor must be detected with a very high probability. The typical way to achieve that is redundancy and diversification. The exact amount of redundancy depends on the reliability of the sensor considered. In most cases, it is sufficient to have 2 sensors, but of different models, in order to avoid common mode of failure.

2. In case of a failure, the system must have a graceful degradation, and in aeronautics, this means a clean handover to the pilot.

So, in the case of this MCAS thing, having two sensors is not necessarily a bad thing, and what M. Kornecki reports is 100% correct. What looks strange is the way a single failure was managed by the software, and how the procedure to recover was quite complicated and, even worse, not exported to the training material of the pilots. In my world, we called this "exported safety requirement application conditions" - SRACs, and verification of their proper allocation is a big chunk of the safety case. More than discussing architecture, in my view, the investigation must explain why the organisation failed to perform this activity.

The case for a third sensor can be made to decrease the likelihood of having to bypass the system ("belt and suspenders", as says M. Kornacki), but based on my experience, it will not be sufficient. As other correctly report here, it's not a silver bullet.

Ultimately, the degradation scenario and pilot handover is part of the overall system safety.

Fair point, but even then you could have a remote pilot telling the plane what to do with the automation executing the strategy (given the latency).
Your last sentence reminded me of an interview with the Ton Rosendaal, the creator of Blender. He talks extensively about how Blender became OSS and not abandonware.
