Lol. Such posts have been coming up a lot lately. I'm not sure if there's a dissonance in what people understand vs what they vote for.

US has been making the rich richer. If people want some kind of redistribution, vote for higher taxes for 1% wealth (not the same as income) and higher capital gains taxes while reducing taxes on labor.

I don't think that's the objection: it's that there's a certain pain/annoyance with having to judge whether the new content will actually be worth the $X extra you'll pay, but it's in direct (economic) conflict with "I just want to pay a flat fee and not think about each little thing".
I feel like there's something to think about here since we couldn't even keep the page with this information active for a decade and the goal is to keep the actual warning around for 10,000 years.
You clearly know your layouts :). I agree, AutoLayout is the most powerful system I've worked with.

I wish others would start their layout systems based on it (others like React Native, or native Android), then add simplified APIs like flexbox using it if needed/desired.

Your complaint falls on unsympathetic ears because these pumps are quite within the capability of open source to design and manufacture.

The fact that no one has done so speaks volumes.
Continuity. Standards and limitations keep the platform usable which makes it valuable to all involved. For walled gardens to be successful, both consumers and developers must both buy into them.

So, either people are painfully stupid or a managed platform has some appeal over free ones.

Continuity, ease of use, various warranties/guarantees make walled gardens attractive. If consumers have free reign and brick their device, it's hard to expect the manufacturer to have/honor any warranty. If developers have free reign there's no guarantee another application won't break theirs or that they won't break someone else's... or that it'll work with whatever the consumer is doing.

Yes, an obvious counter point is *nix systems, but there is some authority in that ecosystem which keeps most things working. It's still not painless to setup/use which prevents it from effectively competing with windows/Mac OS.

Simply put, the price of admission into a walled garden comes with some perks/guarantees/warranties which aren't readily available elsewhere.

Not when one of the concerns is to make it possible to maintain compatibility with it.

Microsoft threw the towel for this very reason. It is quite hard to keep up when you have an implementation used by more than 70% of the market, because that makes it the de facto standard, regardless of what the standard really is.

We are going to see the same issues as with IE6: chrome does (and breaks) things before the standards are updated, and dictate huge chuncks of poorly-thought features on the web platform, that might become required for any kind of serious business (think flash, java, silverlight, widevine).

This really is the E part in EEE (the middle one...)
Not to us here at Apache. We wanted the GitHub tools to be available to our projects. Why try and recreate all that on our own? Waste of resources. The ASF is for creating software for the public good; having a great version control tool website is not in that mission. We chose to leverage GitHub instead.

And yes, lots of our communities have been asking for better GitHub support (read: access to its tools). So we made it happen for them.

> I feel you, but why are your jenkins pipelines so complicated?

You have an excellent point. Individual microservice containers are not complicated (then again, all they do is call a standardized script). The script will run a Dockerfile and push it to the registry. I would classify it as a 'trivial' Jenkins job, not even pipelines are used.

The pain starts when you want to do more than CI and try to get into CD. Or even worse, automate 'devops' tasks. That's where you run into all those warts.

A job could call Terraform, or spin up VMs, or run vacuum on a database, or any number of tasks. Or it may perform tasks on K8s to deploy a complex app. It may need to call APIs to figure out where to run things. And so on.

Since Jenkins is not only a CI/CD system, it can do anything, so people will try to make it do increasingly complicated stuff. And I'm arguing that this is wrong. If you have complex logic, it should be moved out of Jenkins so it can be more easily maintained and tested, and dependencies isolated. One of the easiest ways to do that is with containers. At which point, Jenkins loses most of its usefulness and other, newer tools shine.

Alternatively, use more specialized tools. If it is for CD, and Spinnaker works for you, please use that instead.
I feel like this is sarcasm but the real answer is you should act appropriately for your surroundings. Someone else’s event is not your platform, especially so in this case.

I kind of think the more profitable use case for WeWork isn't individual contractors, but instead small teams who want a place where they can work together but it's still too early to lease their own space (or, in the case of existing companies, where they can temporarily expand to overflow space before committing to a longer term lease).
Same for me. I contacted Facebook about this and they asked for a family member and a death certificate. My friend's family mostly are illiterate and from a small village, so I asked FB if a news clipping(of accident) and obituary from local newspaper would do, they refused. After some communication, I left it. I have since left Facebook but other mutual friends say they still receive his birthday notifications every year.
It is definitely better-served. It was the communities asking for GitHub access/integration. So we provided it.

1. You can get 89% accuracy with a convolutional LSTM https://arxiv.org/pdf/1411.4389.pdf

2. You get multiple bites of the apple the chip is processing 200 images a second. It had plenty of sign in the next frame to identify an issue.

3. All Tesla have redundant side sensors and radars, and an adversarial system for checking it's conclusions.

4. Having don't actually need to file those things in Tesla case. Why would you? They could easily test the functionality and tell no one and not worry about the regulation until they've passed a certain amount of accuracy.

5. The beta is navigation on autopilot and it's proven to be safer than regular drivers by far.

And most importantly what do you think will happen if elon release. Self driving on local roads in a year. Other than that what more would the car need to do. Be able to do that without people touching the wheel. If he just release that as a "feature" and it works there won't be a marketing issue. In fact he already has.
I think the reality is that >80% of SWEs will never need any of this, because most SWEs are high-level integrators and consumers of these algorithms via libraries. For a lot of people, their time is better spent learning how to architect and use available tools to quickly solve problems while writing bug-free code.

But then life changes and you may find yourself in need of this knowledge. I used to laugh at graph algorithm questions on interviews because I never directly used a graph in 20 years of SWE. Then I got a job where I am on a team maintaining a graph-based API. Jokes on me, now those 'silly' algorithms are very relevant.

> Persson’s is not an isolated tweet. “It’s ok to be white” was invented by the trollsters of the “politically incorrect” messaging board on 4chan. The phrase was carefully designed to trick progressive, left-leaning Americans into saying the contrary—that it is not ok to be white—in a strange nationwide campaign to finally expose anti-white bias.

And it's evidently working. Taking offense to the phrase "it's okay to be White" is falling straight into the trolls' hands. If we want to stop the machinations of said trolls then we should stop taking offense to the statement, since taking offense to the statement "it's okay to be X" necessarily implies that it's not okay to be X.

If Microsoft was aware of the phrase's history then their behavior is even more counterproductive; they knowingly walked into this trap.

I am probably just going to get buried but I don't think this is a simple as many people will think it is.

To me this is another indication of how excessively polarized worldviews are. And I think it goes for quite a lot of people on both sides of the political spectrum. There is a strong tendency towards one political extreme or another.

It's to the point where people are basically living in alternate realities from each other.

And some people may react to that with "yeah, it's one worldview that is intolerant and wrong and one that isn't" or if they are from the other side "yeah, it's one worldview where it's ok to be say you are white and another where it isn't". But it's way more than that. The hint of intolerance (or on the other side, political correctness) is used to identify people as being in the enemy camp. And it is then a proxy for their worth as a human being and all of the other beliefs they might supposedly have are grouped together.

I wonder if another political operating mode is possible.

I am confused about how they could be valued at $47 billion. (Unless they own $46.9 billion worth of real estate.)

> …but at a certain distance if you squint at it looks like the same problem…

The whole discussion here is about how these things differ in subtle ways. The problem with “squinting” at the problem is you end up e.g. using RAII and then having to redesign your system because RAII doesn’t match, and the problems weren’t obvious when you started out.

Not to make too fine a point about it here, but file handles are perfect matches for RAII / Rust lifetimes, unlike OpenGL textures. You just close the handle at end of object lifetime. You can get errors when you close but current recommendation is to ignore errors when cleaning up and have a separate path for closing/committing data on close when writing, so on most paths the destructor will nop. This works well.

An example of a mismatch with the language semantics and file handles is with GC. If you close a file handle in a C++ destructor or Rust drop(), it’s fine, those are run deterministically. If you use a JVM finalizer to close your file handle that might not happen soon enough (cue EMFILE).

Again, the reason why textures don’t work this way is because you have to release them in a certain context and they might be released outside your control.
Does it support running on macOS and Windows, too? CI for native apps is IMHO the most common lock-in for Jenkins at the moment. Anything web or container related can almost always be implemented using pretty much any other CI/CD solution out there.

It is not a fallacy to consider sunk costs when they can help you estimate the marginal return on a new investment. This is likely when you are investing in something which is hard to value, with diminishing returns, like growth marketing. Making another $1 billion loss next year might be rational, but if profitability keeps getting deferred year after year, eventually it will become irrational to continue throwing good money after bad.

I would say it's very important to wait and see what comes out of the court process. But nice article.
Notice Verge is quoting a politically-charged journal, called Roots, as proof of "problematic" language.[1]

I don't know. Microsoft can do what it wants, but as a society we need to consider doing two things:

A - Socially spurning all political language in non-political contexts.

or

B - Being tolerant of all political language that isn't DIRECTLY hateful. Using the word "white" and just saying a contextless tweet "It's ok to be white" should not offend people, or if it does, it should be tolerated. OR, we can have a long discussion about it, and go back and forth and try to figure it out.

_A_ seems wise. But society chooses [edit] neither A nor B and we get into fights over it.

And if C, allowing some opinions but not others is the course of action, then we have a real problem. We're not going to "eliminate hate" by going option C: selection of opinions that are Correct and Not Correct. Because those in the "Not Correct" category will regroup in far worse ways - don't we learn from history?

I come to a similar conclusion as you but from an opposite side.

It really is morally indefensible that Google provide technology for military drone warfare (for example). If someone working at Google finds that ghoulish, it is their responsibility to speak up about it and leave (or be fired) if that's what it comes down to. Lucky for them, they probably have plenty of job prospects and don't "need" Google.

Similarly for the military, they're perfectly capable of funding and staffing their own research centers on novel ways to incinerate human beings. Does a surveillance capitalism platform really need to do that for them?
Jenkins also routinely has massive security holes.

I appreciate your work on making HN a welcoming, supportive community. You’ve given a great deal of thoughtful attention to the feelings of folks who may be contributing from different cultural contexts, which is admirable. My argument is we ought to give at least as much attention to the concerns of women in our community who have objected to the diminutive use of “girl”. I gave a hypothetical to demonstrate the principle that how language is received is just as or more important than the intent in which it is given.

I think we can agree that we should not assume the worst intentions and should be constructive with feedback. But that is not to say that posts should not be “sanitized” (your term) simply because the poster may not have been aware of how the language would be received more broadly (internationally). We must also consider that some language, even if a mere misunderstanding, can make marginalized communities feel unwelcome.

Thanks for your time on this.

Correct. We are pragmatic-focused. The communities asked for better integration with GitHub, so we provided it. (nothing to do with non/copyleft licensing regimes)

Mind you, we maintain private mirrors and have restrictions on some of the GitHub access/workflows (eg. ICLA on file, and 2FA required). We still need to track provenance, and must be able to operate independently, if it comes to that.

Repeating my comment from the last discussion:

This whole thing is an offshoot of antinuclear FUD. If civilization collapses to the point where people no longer realize that radiation is dangerous, then so many people have already died that a few more people dying early from radiation is just background noise.

In addition, knowing human nature and our propensity for conspiracy theories, there will be people in the future who think all those signs were put there to dissuade people from finding a massive buried treasure. After all, the phrasing is pretty much what you would expect if someone had buried a treasure and wanted to scare people from digging for it.
I agree, the article does not actually present anything concrete. For me, the usefulness of category theory is in providing a simplifying and high level set of abstractions that can serve to illuminate the structural essence of a problem domain. At first, I thought it was just abstract nonsense (and this is coming from someone who has a PhD in mathematics), but after playing around with it a bit, I've started to appreciate the power of the concepts.

The most interesting "application" of category theory that I've seen (as it relates to software engineering) is the connection between databases and category theory, e.g at https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2018/06/06/applied-cate.... In short, relational schemas are categories, and common data migration operations can very naturally can be described in the language of category theory (functors, pullbacks etc).

I'd consider sunk costs on a project basis, as way to determine the profitability of an individual project, like the construction of an office building.

For an IPO for a commercial leasing company however, a growth stock should be demonstrating positive cash flow net of financing costs. I know WeWork has these absurd WeLearn, WeLive pipe dreams to explain their growth strategy, but that takes time, and can be reversed suddenly.

Uber's big pitch was "self-driving taxis" until the new CEO arrived, saw that it was a pipe dream, and focused the growth trajectory on to something more realistic like bike sharing and meal delivery.

Given all that, if WeWork are IPO'ing now, I'm interested in seeing how far away they are from positive cash flow on their core business as it stands.

Do you perhaps mean syntax rather than structure? (Or a subset of the syntax.)

If I've guessed correctly, that language has already been wedged into lots of places that it's a poor fit, so I guess there's precedent there.
EDIT: I was wrong here to criticize the latency since SpaceX's implementation will attack the problem completely differently than traditional satellite internet which has has latency numbers measured in hundreds of milliseconds.
