>Even something basic like replacing malloc with your own instrumentation

EDIT: I removed my comment. I thought it was funny that someone would call this basic. apparently I was wrong and it is very common.
This is the main issue that prevents me from learning C++. None of this seems to be documented or explained anywhere. I can find fantastic books on how to write C++ but this entire topic isn't addressed anywhere even though it tends to be a big source of time-consuming errors/issues for beginners. I've wanted to use a certain library, spend close to a week trying to figure out how to make it accessible to my project and then give up in frustration.
I understand we have reason to distrust the mainstream monolith, but I don't see why I should trust Wikileaks. You're not providing evidence for, just arguments against. "Because it's not mainstream" gains it nothing. So is Infowars.

this is a great article, both in content and in form.

keep in mind though managing your carbon budget is like managing any other budget, which in turn is like optimizing any other queue. meaning: don't over-optimize the 5th most important thing when you're ignoring the top 2 - 3 most important things.

by which I mean: #1 flying, #2 driving, #3 heating and #4 cooling.

just to put a sortof min-max on it: if you eat vegan but fly to a conference once a quarter and drive to work every day your emissions will be greater than if you eat cheeseburgers for lunch every day but take the subway to work and rarely fly.

which is why imho you should go for the 50 - 80% win (80+% reduction in red meat) in this category (food) instead of going all the way to vegetarian/vegan.

or put another way, being pro video-conference has a better GHG reduction return than being vegan :)
Offtopic, but hope I'm not the only one who finds naming the LA Coliseum "United Airlines..." disgusting. Don't want it renamed at all, but especially by such a despicable company. What can be done about that?
A roadmap to becoming a Rust web developer in 2019
I live in Mexico and have had to get stitches many times. Paid $4 per stitch in the private hospitals in Guadalajara. I paid $24 in cash with the pesos in my pocket and walked home.

Even the dentist system in Mexico is walk in, pay, walk out for high quality work. I tried to go to the dentist when visiting family in Texas and had to fill out paperwork and pay to be a member first.

Seems like the only benefit of the US system is when you have a nice job, everything is basically free. Probably why nothing will change too much anytime soon. To quit your nice job to try to start a business forces you to gamble with your healthcare.

at 25%-50% you hit the "resent horizon" at this point you need to refactor - because let's face it - the code has started to smell and debugging becomes REALLY annoying. Refactoring is a totally different mindset, akin to gardening, but if you learn to like refactoring you'll always finish
The case was ridiculous. The way they pursued it was ridiculous. The way Sweden pursued extradition was ridiculous. The only lens through which it makes any sense is when you realise it’s a ruse to limit or remove his freedom, because he crossed the US government.

DockerHub Breach Exposes Usernames, Hashed Passwords, and GitHub Tokens
That's pretty silly. If you have enough technical knowledge to use a non-default window manager, I feel like you should have enough self-awareness to know that you shouldn't necessarily be catered to by devs. I primarily use Linux on servers, though. Maybe I don't get the mentality of a Linux Desktop user.

Scrum != agile. You don't need sprints to be agile. If sprints aren't working for you and your team, then stop doing sprints. If your team can't decide to stop doing sprints, then you're not leading your own agile process and you're not really doing agile.
>So the companies always had a successful exit even if the codebase passed onto the acquiring company or to the public investors had major issues.. so at least in my experience there's no feedback loop to correct the issues.

In a sense, it sounds like there is nothing to correct! Would moving more slowly and deliberately have improved the exit, or worsened it? Perhaps code quality has only a tenuous link to business outcomes.

A Conspiracy to Kill IE6
This is 100% accurate given that it's exactly what they have done time and again since almost their founding.
Dave Thomas, one of the original authors of the Agile Manifesto [1] wrote an article called "Time to Kill Agile" [2] a few years ago (which he subsequently re-titled "Agile is Dead"). He has some good insight on how Agile (the methodology) got to be something very different from what they intended. Originally they were trying to break away from a rigid methodology, not introduce a whole new one. Unfortunately, if you don't codify something into a set of rules, it's pretty hard to get people to follow it, and it wasn't long before "experts" were building formal processes out of it. I've never seen it work well, and the more ardent the adherents are, the worse it seems to get. I think every team needs to find the approach that works best for them to itemize, prioritize and communicate progress. In my experience the two most important aspects of moving a project along are simply communicating what needs to be done and recognizing effort.

Why do people care about Linux gaming? Is it that hard to just boot into Windows? Or even, a VM with a pass-through graphics card? It's hard enough to make games as it is. It seems unfair to complain about something when it's clearly not in the developer's interest to waste a bunch of time on something nobody will use.
I've been there. The containment tank is positively MASSIVE, way more huge than what can be conveyed from those pictures. It took a good 3-5 minutes of walking down stairs just to reach the bottom of the tank floor, and once you're down there it takes some more to appreciate the expansiveness of it all. Definitely recommended if you're in the area.
In communications that's typically referred to as an aside. It would be a bit of information the author wants the reader to be aware of (for any number of reasons including context of either the subject or the author's perspective), but doesn't want to make the focus of the messaging. It's a common device in writing.

I implied it was tangential (and consequentially implied: counterproductive) to inflate the relevance of an aside.
Yes, that is true, quartz are better at keeping time, though mechanical watches are still better at measuring time. Astronauts for example are required to use Omega Speedmaster mechanical watches on spacewalks (which at it's cheapest is still about $8000), and it was the watch used during Apollo 13 to time the engine burn (which required great accuracy).
This job posting is part of a pilot that the US Digital Service is running, and we read Hacker News. :)
> If your agile ceremonies end up being all about giving management control -- if your story points are used to tell management how much work is getting done, if management is using the daily standup to make sure people are on-task instead of being about commitments. If agile is just another way for management to exert control over software development, rather than being about ceding control to software developers, it won't "work."

This is exactly what it has become though. It's not about developers, it's about managers and product owners. It's about numbers in a spreadsheet that managers can show upper managers.

Management has sucked the life out of agile. It's become this rigid metric producing muck that gets in the way.

New Roles of Analytics – The Data Product Owner and Analytics Translator
I'm vegetarian and aspire to have a plant-based diet, but I recognize the difficulty in such a diet in a lot of places.

With that said, I'm curious why you don't want anyone trying to convince you to change your mind?

I don't want to eat meat, and I don't plan to, but if someone had some reasoned arguments as to why I should, I'd listen and decide for myself. I'm not you though, but I am curious what reason(s) you have for not being open to discussing it. I'm also curious why you phrased it as someone telling you to do it, rather than discussing it.

Like I said previously: Nobody is claiming that white people can't suffer from poverty. But no white American was ever forced into poverty solely on the basis of their being white. White people can face poverty but being white does not cause poverty. Similarly just because black Americans are disproportionately affected by poverty doesn't mean that every black American is poor.
I have already delegated access to my Model S to other Tesla account holders through customer service (manual process). Seems to automate it is straightforward?

Tesla could replace Turo for Teslas fairly rapidly IMHO (and possibly Zipcar!). Supporting Lyft/Uber functionality would of course be more effort, but also doable. This isn't trying to go to the Mars (insert chuckle here). Even if you discount full autonomy, Tesla could collect a skim from every one of these transactions, while also collecting autopilot data from each trip.

Here's an open source rideshare platform: https://libretaxi.org/ TLDR Lots of dollars to capture besides for handing manufactured units over to customers. It's so silly people value Uber and Lyft as platforms so highly (as just mobile apps) while they have so little capability compared to Tesla, who not only has similar software engineering capabilities, but actually builds the cars and restricts their ability to join other platforms as deeply integrated components.

A certain breed of neckbeard, at least that’s been the association the last 10-15 years. It’s probably more of a jokey reference these days though. Although red hats in general are also an unfortunate form of branding to be stuck with nowadays, not unlike the band Anthrax after 2001.

A textbook covering complexity analysis, the standard types of algorithms and most common algorithms in each category, with implementation notes. Could have been the textbook I had in 1992.

It seems to be completely pie in the sky type of thinking.

The only rational -non delusional- reason I see for the talk is if Musk does it to get better financing terms before the self driving hype dries down.

I think taxi services without driver are coming but the the secret sauce is remote human operator working together with high level of automation. Driver is the main cost of taxi service. If you get one operator to remotely oversee 20 highly autonomous vehicles and provide input when needed, the cost of taxi-service drops into a fraction of what it used to be and service is better than fully autonomous driving.
The other issue is that the kind of people that bully someone to the point that suicide is the only way out often lack the empathy and self-reflection to understand that they were the cause of the problem.

The way they called this out in the show could be interpreted as vengeful, but is there any other way they could have addressed this angle?

The jock football captain raped her and then showed such little remorse, not only brushing it off as nothing, but that because of who he was, she obviously was "gagging for him" (to coin a British phrase.) He thought of it as having done her a favour by gracing her with his attention. Is there any other way to demonstrate what effect that had on her mental state to someone with such narcissistic tendencies than to choose a tactic like this to make him hear her and understand the effect he had on her? He clearly lacked empathy and had little if any ability, or want to self reflect. If she'd still been alive, he probably never would have listened to the tape. He'd have scoffed at her and belittled her and would never have given his behaviour a second thought. He only listened to the tapes because he was backed into a corner where he needed to know what was said so he could get in front of it and keep himself out of trouble. He needed to keep himself in everyone else's good graces because the image he needed to uphold to maintain his place in society was more important to him than his integrity.

Sure, she was mentally unstable... but why was she mentally unstable? The eloquence demonstrated on the tapes were evidence that the torment of her life was the cause of this instability. Any sufficiently skilled lawyer would've been able to argue that point from the tapes alone.
Presumably the insurance (or company who failed to get insurance) would pay the affected users.
Robots Have an Increasingly Important Role in Construction
There are no C-level individual contributors, really. At the head of an organization, is a manager/leader.

Even the top level technical track folks who are nominally IC's wind up doing some leadership. This makes sense; there's fundamentally a limit on how much you can accomplish all by yourself. Somewhere along the road, your visions will require the work of more people than only yourself.

You can be a technical leader without being a manager, so it's not all bad.
Not a corporation, but that is the structure for most major athletes and actors. Managers can make significant money, but if they're not taking advantage of their client, then it's usually less, sometimes significantly less.
