I suspect there are far more cases of disasters ensuing -- other subordinates getting angry about perceived favoritism, difficult break-ups spilling over into the workplace, accusations of abuse of power (and actual abuses of power), the situation mentioned in the article, and so forth.
I claimed some people don't play status games and their opting out is not some other type of signalling.

If we can agree that one hermit, living alone in the woods, exists somewhere in the world, then we can agree that my claim is true: Some percentage (percentages do not imply whole numbers) of people opt out of status games.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. It is probably quite helpful to look at the spread of vaccination misinformation as a meme (or rather, a memetic virus), and to attempt to formulate strategies against it.

There are few hypotheses as closely scrutinised and solidly disproven as the theory that (measles) vaccines cause autism, but a quick glance at the material spreading online shows that as one of the all-time favourites of the army of trolls and the misinformed.

I know it's not a npm package, but would the donation message for kids in Uganda when you started vim be considered no bueno with these rules? I guess it's not an ad technically
The reporters I know won't publish a claim without two or more independent sources.
Because, to my knowledge John Carmack didn't walk away with source code, detailed circuit diagrams, and technical documentation he stole from a company to start another company. The charge here is quite clear. Mr. Levandowski took something with him that the law said he wasn't allowed to take and then profited from it.
There is some of the "broken windows theory", but it's mostly the staff. There are lots of people who want to work there (my wife worked there in her teens) so they are able to pick good people and they staff the place. There are enough workers on the grounds and in restaurants to keep things clean. The staff is trained to be diligent, go the extra mile, and always be friendly! When I go to other amusement parks I see areas understaffed or staff standing around chatting and ignoring the trash laying around.
This really only makes sense if you can choose your wage, too.

I don’t agree with his problem statement that OSS developers need payment.

I think that paying people for valuable work is a good thing. But I don’t think there is a problem with this as evidenced by 50 years of great OSS software written by professional and amateur developers.

Saying I spent 4000 hours on a project without pay is not enough info to be useful to determine that I need payment. I volunteer time to lots of charities, I don’t then say I need payment for this time. I also spent countless hours on hobbies, this doesn’t entitle me to payment.

If I put an annoying ad into people’s consciousness because I spend 3000/year organizing my magic cards, that’s not really relevant to most people.
I don’t know the updates would detect this. and Even if it did, I doubt apple would say anything.
They say "Here's why", but they never explain why. They just found a correlation in what people think. No reason as to why we think that way...

This could even potentially be just from societal conditioning.
I wasn't drawing a distinction between the law as written and the law as enforced, because the latter is the one that matters in a practical sense. So sure, if you make that distinction, my comment doesn't make much sense.

The discretion police use is a huge gray area that is often problematic, but probably less problematic than not having a gray area.
datomic is built on this concept ?
I've had both, and I don't know what is worst to tell you the truth. The ones who have coded a long time ago think that their experience in another language/ecosystem still allows them to estimate tasks in a completely different environment, when in fact it doesn't.

The non-technical manager will focus more on the business side and will be easier to manage in many situations, but the problem is that that type fo manager will neglect tasks that are purely linked to technical debt, refactoring etc that don't add new functionality to the system but are still really important.
But you also left developers with really hard to use dev tools based on a fork of gcc. The arch also left you having to do all kinds of mental gymnastics when writing code to make sure you were keeping the size down.

That said the chips certainly did there job at a good price point once you got everything stable and fixes made to the binary blobs that you had no way to debug.

That's fair. I'm probably guilty of that sometimes.

Personally, I find it obnoxious when people start new projects in C code because they're comfortable with the language and unwilling to learn something better, and those projects contribute to the toxic cesspool of vulnerable software that is undermining civilization.

He didn't dismiss the article out of hand. He debunked its points and then pointed out that the author seems to have an unstated agenda.

The vortex dissipators are interesting! Hard to imagine that gravel or dirt wouldn't get tossed into the jet intake and cause massive damage. Their solution is three air jets blowing air down and aft from the front of each intake at 55psi, which apparently worked. I wonder though if despite this gravel sometimes still went through and damaged turbine fan blades.
Addiction is not universal at all. Not even close. It’s charitable of you not to look down on them, but they aren’t addicted to weed, and weed isn’t destroying their life. Their own choices are. You cannot even compare this with opiates.

I always see "both sides" participating in HN comments, but I overwhelmingly see people shooting down CoC's (and similar documents) here as opposed to supporting them. Here's my personal take as someone who is very socially liberal.

I would enjoy living in a world where these sort of documents are not necessary. However, people are absolutely discriminated against in open source projects and these documents aim to alleviate some of those pains. This sort of rule is necessary as an unregulated expectation of kindness isn't working (eg "be excellent to each other").

The prospect of anonymity could help, but cannot be expected. People shouldn't have to hide who they are as a person in order to contribute.

People also make a weird claim that people are more offended by things and I don't see how that's a bad thing. I would prefer society that calls out these intolerances instead of them just dealing with it. If gay people "just dealt with" the adversities they faced then we'd still be persecuting them. Part of "being offended" is being vocal about people doing and saying terrible things in order to put societal pressure on them to change.

There are some legitimate concerns around CoC's and the like, but the people protesting them aren't attempting to help solve those issues, they're doing so to get rid of these rules and maintain the status quo.

Hope this at least exposes some people on the fence to some of the reasons people support CoCs. I can't speak for every socially liberal person but I'll happily engage in some back-and-forth if you disagree with any points I made or just want more information.
He spent years promoting the idea, and achieved a level of misconduct that got him disqualified from practicing medicine. Relevant chunk of Wikipedia:

> After the publication of the paper, other researchers were unable to reproduce Wakefield's findings or confirm his hypothesis of an association between the MMR vaccine and autism,[8] or autism and gastrointestinal disease.[9] A 2004 investigation by Sunday Times reporter Brian Deer identified undisclosed financial conflicts of interest on Wakefield's part,[10] and most of his co-authors then withdrew their support for the study's interpretations.[11] The British General Medical Council (GMC) conducted an inquiry into allegations of misconduct against Wakefield and two former colleagues.[12] The investigation centred on Deer's findings, including that children with autism were subjected to unnecessary invasive medical procedures such as colonoscopies and lumbar punctures,[13] and that Wakefield acted without the required ethical approval from an institutional review board.

> On 28 January 2010, a five-member statutory tribunal of the GMC found three dozen charges proved, including four counts of dishonesty and twelve counts involving the abuse of developmentally delayed children.[14] The panel ruled that Wakefield had "failed in his duties as a responsible consultant", acted against the interests of his patients, and acted "dishonestly and irresponsibly" in his published research.[15][16][17] The Lancet fully retracted the 1998 publication on the basis of the GMC's findings, noting that elements of the manuscript had been falsified.[18] The Lancet's editor-in-chief Richard Horton said the paper was "utterly false" and that the journal had been "deceived".[19] Three months following The Lancet's retraction, Wakefield was struck off the UK medical register, with a statement identifying deliberate falsification in the research published in The Lancet,[20] and was thereby barred from practising medicine in the UK.[21] A British Administrative Court Justice noted in a related decision—"There is now no respectable body of opinion which supports (Dr. Wakefield's) hypothesis, that MMR vaccine and autism/enterocolitis are causally linked".[22]
I’ve been to a corporate training session at Disneyland where they talked about keeping the park clean. Broken Window theory is part of it, so they take active steps to keep the park clean. For example, they studied how far people were willing to walk before they would just drop their trash on the ground and then put trash cans within that distance of each other. They have employees whose job it is to sweep constantly, but every single employee takes pride in the park and picks up trash lying around. If one lightbulb is out they replace all the lightbulbs to reduce the broken window effect and keep the appearance that they aren’t constantly fixing things.

No city that I know of takes this approach. I’ve heard anecdotally of some cities striving for it. But I can’t imagine it being at the same level as the Disney culture

I am not exactly sure of the point of this comparison. The OP got it right. There is not enough adoption. Of course you will find less programs with bugs, because there are less programs written in Rust! That, and in case of rewrites, they are almost nowhere complete functionality-wise.

I see that there is one use-after-free bug, and lots of out of range access bugs. How does that happen?

We need draconian laws to limit this behaviour now, before we have no more air to breathe and no more water to drink.

Having the latest consumer gadget is useless in a time of total ecological collapse.

Laws:

(1) Building codes to mandate net-zero buildings. Most of this can be accomplished with decent insulation.

(2) Enforced warranties on appliances of 25 years, and on consumer electronics a minimum of 5 years.

(3) Completely prohibit lockdown of devices by the manufacturer using strong encryption.

(4) Mandate availability of schematics and repair manuals.

(5) Mandate sale of OEM parts to individuals and business outside of the vertically-integrated service system.

and, most importantly,
(6) A one-child policy until lifestyle * numbers reaches sustainable levels, along with a complete moratorium on immigration, except for emergency refugee cases, such as gay people fleeing death in Islamic countries. We must regulate our numbers until the coral reefs revive, until there is no more plastic in the oceans, until CO2 levels return to normal, until biodiversity recovers and the great extinction is stopped. And we must not act as a relief valve for economic refugees from the rest of the world seeking to achieve the wasteful and deplorable lifestyle that we have established.
Yes, I think unions under some form are sorely needed for this profession, as well as a recognized ethics code, like it happens in professions like medicine or accounting.

If we are going to be treated as factory workers, we should defend ourselves as factory workers by creating unions.

Unfortunately, due to the volatility of tech skills and the overuse of one-month contracts, I don't see this happening anytime soon, but I agree it's the only solution.

I hadn't heard of Tidelift before until recently, and I don't see it mentioned here in the discussion. Is this the kind of thing you'd like to see?

https://tidelift.com/

Something has to be done to ensure that Open Source which plays a vital role in our business ecosystems remains sustainable. There are real business implications if some package we all depend on is under-funded and implodes (we can all name well-known examples of this from recent history.)

Some projects may be of critical importance to the future, but without a business model they may fizzle out and die. There's an argument that some culling must occur for the overall benefit of the collective, and I have no doubt there is a market-driven solution that we can live with. I don't know if Tidelift is it, but it is definitely an approach.
Our brains certainly experience pain, even if burning a bit off doesn't trigger it. Also, we are not all entirely fine with what is done to mice and chimps.
The pressures we're talking about here are almost 2 orders of magnitude more than what is used to make diamonds.
That reasoning makes sense at first.

Until you consider the fact that critical infrastructure depends on underfunded open source projects that sometimes have trouble staying afloat.

Good explanation of transformers, and the history leading up to them. I look forward to the next installment covering BERT.

As someone who spent a lot of time trying to manually code up solutions to anaphora resolution (pronoun coreference), BERT seemed like a small miracle to me. As a side comment: I love that getting training data for BERT is so cheap: any text source, and randomly remove words, target output is predicting the words removed.

My learning experience was through first understanding how memory and everything works in the C language. To me C++ is not the place to learn programming, it's more like a tool to take some syntax/idea from another more specialized language and then develop an underlying implementation that makes the similar syntax to compile into the specific thing I imagine in C.

It's important to take into account the dates when the learning materials were published. New features change the way how the same thing is done (while keeping the old way still compiling and working). Specifically about the STL there are old books from Meyers. To not get lost in time there is the "C++ Standards Support in GCC" site of the GCC compiler which enumerates all the new features that were added during the post-2011 accelerated development period. The modern C++ has seen no books so it's may be useful to just watch some talks by people who develop the language, standard library, compilers or who have experience in using it: Sutter, Lavavej, Stroustrup, Alexandrescu, Carruth‏, Hinnant, Vandevoorde, Niebler for example.

I wonder if there is a relationship to e^(πi) = -1. Are there any other pair of numbers (other than multiple of these e and π) that have this relationship? Perhaps these two numbers sharing that relationship are why they appear so commonly in our current mathematical equations.
We’re saying the same thing. I am not concerned with being sensitive, sorry. Facts don’t care about feelings. I think this mentality that we can’t speak the truth out of fear that we’ll hurt their feelings, and encouraging a victim mentality only makes things worse.

Recognizing that you are a deadbeat, and deciding that you don’t want to be is the only way to even begin recovery. I’ve seen this up close. Anyone who has any experience helping addicts will tell you the same thing. That’s why forced treatment doesn’t work and will never work.

Trust me, you’ll look at this differently after you have pulled family members out of crack houses that you thought only existed like that in the movies, had them steal your motorcycle and sell it for drugs, had them give your address to their crackhead friends where your wife and kids sleep, etc. Some of us are way past worrying about hurt feelings.

And this isn’t something that happens with weed users at all, which is why I don’t think people really understand what it means to be a drug addict when they mention weed. There is just no comparison.
We have three kids and the amount each of them eat varies wildly from day to day. Sometimes they are fighting over who gets the swipe the last sauce out of the pot, other days they are "not hungry" and hardly eat anything. So some days we have a lot of leftover.

I suppose if we had like 100 kids then the variances would probably average out and we'd waste far less leftovers. I'll bring that idea up with the spouse.
So did I but apparently not. They don't seem to show symptoms.
Well, I'm on a carb-free diet right now and believe it or not, my food is full of vegetables and greens. The only kinda tasty tofu I had was full of sause (sugars and oils), or fried. I don't think either of them is healthy. My conclusion is that if you want to eat healthy the only option is to cook your own food.
Niagara Falls, NY is dumpy because is a typical Rust Belt city that experienced significant industrial and manufacturing decline in the late 70s-80s coupled with failed "urban renewal" projects. The population went from 102,394 in 1960 to ~48,144 in 2018. It's not exactly easy to maintain a tax base in that situation.

I can only get through a loaf every couple of weeks, so I keep a loaf in the freezer, and only slice off a couple slices at a time. Let them sit on a towel for 5 minutes, and they're as good as fresh without the need to toast them. Plus, it's easier to slice while frozen without smooshing it, and fresh sliced beats store sliced any day of the week.
Hate to nitpick, but 'deont' in deontology does not come from the (latin) root "deus', rather from the Greek root 'deont' - that which pertains to duty.
Because most or all of its staff live in different somewhere elses and mass transit is horrible at random route commutes.

Right, but the problem with this isn't the different somewhere elses, it's designing mass transit systems that are only useful on arterial routes into or out of the centre of a radially organised city.

This is often how things work today, but there's no reason it has to be, as long as you have a reasonable alternative layout and sufficient volume of journeys to make comprehensive mass transit viable at all.

For example, consider a big city like London. There are enough travellers to run both the Underground (metro) and bus services almost 24/7 now. A wide variety of routes, many of them not just arterial paths to or from some central hub, cover most of the Greater London area.

In that sort of situation, even if you aren't living within convenient walking/cycling distance of your normal place of work, it makes little difference whether you're travelling into the centre of a city or further around it.

If I'm competing for the best employees, I'm far better served to pay more to put my office near the transit hub and lower the inconvenience for my employees.

The assumption of a single, central transit hub rather than a more distributed, uniform arrangement is the problem here. It has much the same inherent scalability problems as any of the other services that some of us were discussing further up the thread.

All the above assumes a significant commuting base on fixed route rail that tends to cluster around hubs. It might be possible construct (more expensive) transit that was not hub and spoke.

Exactly. The challenge is to match the scale of the city with the scale of the transit system so the "(more expensive)" becomes negligible. But since in this case the costs of inefficient transportation systems and unnecessary journeys are more than just financial, that doesn't seem like a crazy idea.
Why don't these Nick Burns try-hards at Google provide the names of the websites? That would be the responsible thing to do, instead of adding to the hysteria by preventing people from getting a better idea as to whether they might have been affected by these exploits....Uh, You're Welcome!
Reference counting has well known issues that are independent of the programming language:

- can't deal with circular references without user intervention

- storing the reference counter is hard: either it clobbers a whole cache line or it ruins memory alignment

- atomic reference counting has the potential to utterly ruin runtime performance unless it used extremely carefully
