Out of all the recent IPOs, WeWork has both the most certain and uncertain future of them all. The spaces are clearly differentiated, hard to replicate (without a significant capital injection from a limited number of players who have a stake in WeWork anyway) and have the clearest economic model of all the recent startups; offer services + community (to the extent a place like this can offer one) + great workspaces to companies looking to mimic FANG benefits without investing significant capital.

But everything rests on the edge of a knife. The underlying price sensitivity, the economics of providing the service and the rent of the space. Their model of cut-rate rents is subject to local trends and their investment in each property means that it is not easy for them to shift locations and it would be a significant loss if local landlords got out of hand. As a global company, not every market has strong renter's protections and it makes me wonder how they'll protect their assets when people realize that they could get more from them. Then there is the CEO that leased properties he owned to the We Company, making millions in the process - https://www.wsj.com/articles/weworks-ceo-makes-millions-as-l... (this bit of impropriety should raise eyebrows and raises questions about the company's ability to prevent such rolling conflict of interests going forward).

It is unclear to me how they'll position themselves for the long-term given the variability in real-estate. We are in the run-up to a recession, but after that when it's boom times again and prices rise rapidly, again, how will WeWork survive? Do they plan on buying properties during the bust? What's the long-term plan over here that ensures that they keep on top of the food chain? What is the lock for their spaces?

Edit: The company might be losing money in the pursuit for growth but the model is clear in the sense that they provide services + benefits (swimming pools, beer, massage bars etc etc) on top of leasing out space for a fixed amount X. Unlike Uber, it is easy to imagine them minmaxing this to make money. It's not hard and they lack the kind of competition (Lyft) that would trap them at this low price point as few places in the different jurisdictions that they operate in can offer similar services due to the large upfront investment involved.

> It seems unfair because I guess you're thinking of situations where then subjugated races can then be racist towards non subjugated ones?

It's not a question of "fairness"; it's a question of whether or not the ideology is a racial ideology, and the quoted slogan (in context) is considerable evidence that it is. Because (lawyering aside), the slogan is a pronouncement it morally permissible to treat members of one race worse than members of other races.

Thank you for the recommendation; will check it out.
Of course — all food has good and bad qualities, the question here is really: Is it unhealthier than a beef burger? With all other qualities being equal or better?

For example: Coconut oil may have the highest % of saturated fat, but that data point isn't relevant unless we know how much they put in each impossible burger, and compare that to the amount of fat in ground beef. I.e. despite that percentage, _per burger_ a beef burger might still give you more saturated fat.

The same goes for the concern about heme.
I believe the ASF blog[1] to have a much better title: "The Apache® Software Foundation Expands Infrastructure with GitHub Integration"

"joins" sounds very wrong to me. Apache has had a Github account for years and the mirrors have existed for years as well.

The ASF still hosts their own Git repositories at https://gitbox.apache.org/ In fact all ASF projects needed to migrate from the old git-wip to gitbox just recently (December 2018) [2] and in that announcement they said: "When your project has moved, you are free to use either the ASF repository system (gitbox.apache.org) OR GitHub for your development and code pushes"

So I believe the ASF still hosts a fully up-to-date git repository for each of their projects that use git. It's just that the integration has gotten much better between ASF infrastructure (e.g. Jira) and Github.

I agree with this article on all points. Currently we have a massive jenkins pipeline sprawl that's difficult to maintain. It is also difficult to create new jobs in Jenkins itself, specially if you are using pipelines. My average is around 100 test builds before I can get a full pipeline success for anything of modest complexity.

If all you are doing is using jenkins to run simple bash scripts, you may be able to get away with it. The problems start when you want to add some logic to the pipeline – which you are doing, otherwise why bother with a pipeline?

First things first: are you going to use the scripting pipeline, or the declarative pipeline? The declarative pipeline is a bit better, but it lacks examples, has lots of bugs (I've littered my code with references to JENKINS-XXXXX) and is very restrictive (arguably by design). Of course, you can have 'script' blocks inside your pipeline->stages->stage->steps blocks.

Then you want to take advantage of parallelization or conditional steps, and to visualize that you want Blue Ocean. Problem is, not all plugins are compatible with Blue Ocean, it also doesn't have all features, so you drop down to 'old' jenkins often.

People will want to have a whole bunch of tools with incompatible versions in their builders. Not all are supported natively, so you need to figure out your versioning.

Once you figure all that, congratulations. Next guy to automate something will either find a similar pipeline to copy from, or will endure all the pain again. At this point you may want to use Groovy.

Groovy was absolutely the wrong tool for the job. Yes, I get it that it works with Java, which Jenkins is based on. Still it is the wrong choice. You see, the kind of things you want to automate often involve passing commands around, be them bash, ansible, SQL statements, what have you. Groovy's string escaping rules will ensure your life will be pretty miserable (https://gist.github.com/Faheetah/e11bd0315c34ed32e681616e412...)

You could get around most of these by perhaps moving most of the logic to containers and then running those. There again you'll run into problems with declarative pipelines, random things won't work and you'll be scratching your head.

However, if you are going to do that anyway, you're better off using a more modern system for CI, any system. Drone was already mentioned, there's also Concourse and a bunch of others. For CD, you can use Spinnaker as well.

Or maybe keep jenkins around but forget all the fancy stuff. Delegate all the 'thinking' to scripts and pretend the more recent development has never happened. You'll be saner that way.
Stuff happens. The fact that damage to a single AOA sensor -- whether in the factory or in the field -- could cause this sort of event is strictly an engineering issue.

> feel as though "initial skepticism" is ALWAYS the correct response

Here is the problem with that. I don't think you understand how toxic an eternal skeptic is to a conversation.

An eternal skeptic is someone who never makes any positive claims or reasons as for why they disagree with something that someone else said. All they do is repeat, over and over again "ummm, why don't you prove it!".

Yeah, no. If you disagree with something, then the honest thing to do is say specifically why you disagree with it, and to make positive claims of your own.

If someone just sits back, and refuses to engage with the argument, or give evidence as for why the other person is wrong, then what I usually do is give them the evidence that they asked for, and then make fun of them for not knowing about it in the first place.

Because if their initial skepticism was correct in the first place, then the skeptic would have had the guts to explain why they disagree, instead of just being a coward, by only repeating "prove it" a dozen times over.

It is ridiculous to expect someone to give a 30 page essay of facts and figures, for every single claim that you make.

Instead, the honest thing to do, is to say specifically what you think is incorrect, and give your reasons why, and then the conversation can go from there.
This is great, thank you! I have read the preface of Munkres, I'm looking forward to going through his book. He's a great writer.
I appreciate what you're trying to do here, but "skew metropolitan"(your point) and "aren't common outside of certain metro areas"(op point) don't feel like the same rhetorical weight.

I mean my thoughts are the whole "Vermont Hippy" seems like a thing, and IDK that Vermont even has a meto area (/s).
Not sure it matters seeing as Facebook's Flow is already more popular. Good luck searching for "How do I [X] in flow" without getting more result for Facebook's Flow.

Even if Facebook's Flow never existed, the word "flow" is a challenging term to search for and was a poor name for both Flow9 and Facebook's Flow.

I'm starting to notice that I need to replace shoes at a rate of nearly once every year. Granted, I buy cheap sneakers from Marshalls/TJ Maxx and spend 4 winter months walking across semi-icy rock salt laden streets.

Part of me wants to buy walking shoes over the $75 mark to figure out if they last longer, but the other part feels that at that price point, they aren't designed to last any longer than the sub-$50 brands.

I don't think Jenkins is gui oriented, slow or hard to backup/config, but I did enjoy using TeamCity few yers back. Sure it costs you arm and a leg, but it worked well without any plugins.
Sounds like a religion. I get not wanting factory farmed meat, but what's wrong with hunting meat for yourself? In the end we're all meat for something, even if it's just the worms.
Given many programmers got their careers started by making plugins, themes and sites using open source CMS systems, I'd say those won pretty handily. If you've ever used WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, MediaWiki, Magento, phpBB etc for a project, you've benefited from open source.

Same goes with anyone who used open source programming/scripting languages. The likes of PHP and Python are open source, as are Ruby, JavaScript, C/C++ and even now Java.

Hell, it's probable web development wouldn't exist with anywhere near as much of popularity if most basic components of it weren't open source.

Does that mean some people can't make much like they used to? Sure. But it also means a lot more people can make a living at all.

And given the salaries of many developers/programmers, it's a lot better as a situation than the one journalism is in right now. Or the ones involving creative fields like art, music, media, game development, etc, where the top 0.01% make money and the rest kinda struggle.

What FANG benefits are you referring to?

I have a few clients who work at WeWorks and the nitro coffee and kambucha on tap is fine and well but I wouldn’t call it lavish. Having a few hot and cold drink options for visitors is just common curtesy and basic part of doing business.
My friend who works on Flow9 for something like two years was willing to answer questions, but his message did not get through the moderation in this thread I believe. Basically Flow is a functional language somewhat similar to OCaml (that's my naive understnding). It has multiple backends, and my friend who originally is a math teacher in university and develops theorem provers was hired to work on some of the backends, I think it was the Java backend. He is always so exited talking about Flow, and kept telling me for a about year that they are going to release it as open source and there is a lot of excitement because of that.

I wish they could build a community around this language at least as successful as OCaml's community is.

> But when you have many similar repos (modules) with similar build steps you want to manage

How many teams do you have? In all seriousness, if you aren't talking at least one team per repo, have you considered a monorepo setup? Aren't you burning time managing those many similar repos with many similar build steps?

That said, even in a monorepo, I still prefer Jenkins compared to cleaner seeming cloud offerings due to its limitless flexibility.
Neither, it's a fact of life: criminals do fear extrajudicial "justice" of having crimes committed against them and being unable to report them (and have it happen to them frequently, as I say on the second paragraph above).

What? This is 100% incorrect. Unless you make obvious errors, all of your personal assets are protected.

> Like shareholders of a corporation, all LLC owners are protected from personal liability for business debts and claims. This means that if the business itself can't pay a creditor—such as a supplier, a lender, or a landlord—the creditor cannot legally come after an LLC member's house, car, or other personal possessions.

Talk to your manager, just be polite about it. Don't say things like "this guy talks like he knows everything! his previous team laid him off!" That doesn't seem very considerate.

Instead, you could phrase these concerns like:

"Hey, I've been having a bit of a frustrating time working with X. For someone of his experience, I thought he would be familiar with some of the simpler parts of our work, like Y. But in practice he has needed assistance there. It feels like he has been slowing the team down, rather than speeding it up.

I also feel like his attitude isn't the most productive. When we were discussing issue Z the other day, he was very insistent about an issue where he ended up being incorrect, and wasting a lot of the team's time.

I feel like this colleague is used to working in an area where he is very experienced, and isn't used to this sort of project. Maybe you could talk to him about it? It's hard for me to bring this up since he's so much more experienced than me. As it is, I feel like I would get more work done if I wasn't working together with him."
Burgers should not be served rare because of the risk of food poisoning in under-cooked minced beef. You can eat steak rare because you sear the outside, killing the bugs.

Calling it "blood" is wrong (but everybody knows what that means), but sending it back for more cooking isn't.

Some people think the risk is small enough that they're not bothered by it.
My sentiments exactly. To branch a little bit, Nintendo has been historically focused on preventing piracy. It makes sense given their consoles tend to be the easiest to hack of the big 3.

If you remember what happened on the 3DS with Cubic Ninja [0], that game’s level editor allowed the console to run homebrew code. That was inevitably another vector for piracy at a time where Nintendo was already grappling with the for-profit piracy enabler that was Gateway.

Based on this I can’t personally say if Nintendo is against homebrew running on their consoles or if they’re trying their hardest to prevent piracy, at the expense of homebrew. I do think that the feature included in A Dark Room would have had better chances of staying if the dev hadn’t kept it a secret through the publishing process, though.

I wonder what would happen if you just keep on allocating and never free anything. The system would eventually swap out everything that should be freed. A 64-bit process has plenty of address space, and hard disks are huge.

Of course, there is probably some huge painfull punishment in store if you try this in real life. I just wonder which. Your average GUI process that shuts down every day or so maybe wouldn't suffer too much.
Oxford and CSIRO scientists already proved grass fed cattle is worse for greenhouse gases than CAFO beef farming. Carbon sequestration no where near makes up for the increases emissions.
Their revenue growth is accelerating and they're only losing money because they're investing it all on growth. The year they stop expanding/buying/renting new spaces, they'll bring in a huge net profit.
Weirdly enough this perspective might suggest that the problem is not actually with Go, but with object oriented programming. Which wasn't considered thoroughly by original authors, because they were not OO programmers.
I've noticed the same three categories discussed in two "go west" novels -- Steinbeck's East of Eden (1952) and Kesey's Sometimes a Great Notion (1962). It's interesting, and a bit jarring, to see the MBA translation of what, to me, existed as a literary aside.
If it takes you 100 tries for a moderately complex jenkins pipeline, you have other problems that are not jenkin's fault.
Fair.

I used to work at company that rented from WeWork. And we were in their awful glass cubicles, like working in a Borg ship, and we wanted some privacy, so we asked about putting up some removal decals.

They said no, it violated their brand guidelines.

I believe they renamed it to Flow9 at least partly because of the namespace clash with FB's Flow.
> Personally I would be hard pressed to bother contributing to a project not on GitHub at this point.

Personally I find it a pain to deal with github-only projects. Why should I have to sign up to a social network for coders when I could just send a patch to the development mailing list? It's more depressing than surprising that Microsoft paid $7.5B for that.
- simplicity, never worked on those projects using layers of layers with a lot of magic ( like Spring )

- memory consumption, never wondered why you never see Kubernetes sidecar / daemonset in Java / C#? because they use 5-10x the Go memory, no thank you using -xmx -xms 512MB for a simple API server.

- the billions GC settings that you need to try to make something work at scale ( hello Elasticsearch )

- Don't need 200MB of library to open a file or create a REST server

- maven / graddle build system that are completely bloated, in Go if you have your vendor folder checked in ( and you should ) you just do go build . and you have your single binary

- 50 line stack trace that tells nothing

- observability imo is better in Go, it's getting better with Oracle adding stuff into OpenJDK, but it was a pain before without paying ( jvisual vm, mission control ect .. )

I worked with Java for many years and I can tell you that Go is a breeze of fresh air, it's not perfect but it's good for what it was designed.
And, like Go, TypeScript was strongly associated with a lead designer whose name is well-known and who shaped the industry over multiple decades.
Doesn't seem to say whether it is an obligate-GC language, or supports something akin to the C++ destructor or the Rust "Drop trait". The JS target suggests GC, but that would not forbid programmed resource management.

Also, as with a lot of places where algebra meets geometry, the 'homogenising' (in a good sense) effect of the algebra makes the geometry much less challenging than it could otherwise be. (Linear algebraic groups, which are a particular kind of scheme, underlie much of my research; but I understand way less about schemes in general than about the geometric structure of LAG's.) That's just to say that, from my point of view (as, admittedly, an algebraist), getting the solid linear-algebra background to handle Lie algebras as abstract structures is way more important to understanding Lie groups than a full picture of all the subtleties of differential geometry.

(With that said, anyone who wants to understand the geometry of differential equations will need at some point to handle a lot of non-homogeneous geometry, so my advice isn't the end of the story even for those who agree with it.)
