That's a different question. None of the stories about Stallman are from coworkers. They are from people who shared meals with him, people who attended talks he gave, or people who went to his office. In his position at MIT, Stallman did not teach classes. Anyone who didn't like his behavior was free to tell him off and/or leave. They would suffer zero consequences to their career or schooling.

Also, I replied to someone who said, "If someone cannot handle social situations without making people feel unsafe they should not be in a leadership position." That commenter did not seem to care about whether the behavior was workplace appropriate; only about the feelings of some people who encountered Stallman. That was my point of contention: feelings are too subjective and too easily faked to justify what happened to Stallman.

One thing that has really annoyed me throughout this whole kerfuffle is how slippery the anti-Stallman arguments are. First people claimed he supported Epistein and child rape. Once those were revealed to be blatant lies, people fell back to anonymous emails claiming weird (but not coercive or harassing) behavior from decades ago. When none of those stories could be confirmed (and many of them were disconfirmed, such as the "hot ladies" photo and John Gruber's claims of "overt sexual advances to women"), people fell back to, "He made women feel unsafe." These claims of unsafe feelings lacked objective quantifiable behavior. I feel unsafe around my CEO. It's possible that he could be having a bad day and fire me for no particular reason. Does that mean my CEO should be forced to step down from his position? I don't think so. In Stallman's case, there wasn't even a power differential. He had no influence on the livelihoods of those who felt creeped out by him.

Now you put forth the standard of acceptable workplace behavior in non-workplace environments. If that makes one guilty then none of us are innocent.
Mindfulness.

By seeing things as they truly are, we can see that universal impermanence is poetry.

The poem is burnt, the sand-mandala blown in the wind, the code is deleted.

It is not the making, but the practice of making, that gives meaning.

I want to be wiser, physically more fit and more mindful every day. I want to be more vulnerable and more aware. I want to care less about outcomes and more about processes.

Excercise, meditate and make cool things on Github. Haha.

How does app installation work? ie. If I have a license for some software, can I rent a virtual desktop to run it on?
I believe that those patents are only meant for mutually assured destruction.

I doubt Google would really use them.
Sometimes they’ll find a way to optimize the work away.

I still think it’s better to give them tests and show them that the only way to pass the test is by practicing before hand.
I wouldn't take this too seriously. Theoretically mathematics is also a "soft science" or no science at all depending on the science theoretical background of the person you talk to (science is only experiments with data, empirical stuff...you know, following the scientific method).

I have since developed a very soft criterion for what I call science. Roughly...stuff that advances our understanding of the world and is conducted in a rigorous way.

I did it through calorie counting. I wasn't surprised that I lost weight, but I was surprised by something else: it made me re-examine everything I ate.

One of the key insights was that I was eating a lot of foods that were fattening but weren't filling. It turns out that the ratio of "how full does this make me feel" to "how many calories does this contain" is not a constant across foods. Sugar has probably the worst ratio. Protein and fiber probably have the best, at least in my experience. Fat is a little trickier, but probably also decent if consumed in moderation.

Anyway, as a result, I eat a LOT of vegetables and lean meat. For dinner (my large meal), I often have 1/2 to 3/4 pound (225-340g) of something like chicken breast and 3/4 to 1 pound (340-450g) of steamed veggies. Sometimes I feel like I can barely finish it all.

The other part of the equation was I really did have to change a lot of long-time habits. I was accustomed to just eating whatever and whenever I wanted. That had to end, and the adjustment was painful.

It probably also helps to stay physically active, but I was active before undertaking the weight loss, so I can't comment on the effect of changing that.

The closest thing to device that measures actual calories in is a scale (or measuring cup) and a nutrition label. Yes, this is limiting and tedious. Your favorite local restaurant probably doesn't have any nutrition info available at all. To some extent, you can get around this by looking up equivalents. When you're at your local burrito place, just look up the closest Chipotle menu item. If you only need to that occasionally (not every other meal), your overall totals will be pretty close.

>He did tell us to use the word “epoch,” but not before explaining what the word meant and that it was not, in fact, the same word as “epic,” to a room full of native English speakers.

"epoch" actually comes from Greek :)
Prior to the first day of boot camp they flown us to an airport in San Diego, everyone gathered at the USO lounge on the opposite end of the airport to wait for everyone else flying in.

At midnight, a bus rolls in to the parking lot. Everyone was told to line up in a formation, head forward, arms straight and down to the side.

The bus door opens and out pops a drill instructor with the vigor of a tasmanian devil, barking out orders. Everyone got loaded into the bus in orderly fashion and was told to to put our heads down, cradled between our legs. The bus drove around for what seemed like an hour. Later I found out the camp was next door to the airport.

Upon arrival, the bus stopped, the bus driver got out and the drill instructor got out. We were left to our selves, with no instructions, no understanding for ten minutes. Then came an imposing man with a wide brimmed hat with a voice that sounds like a frog inhabited his throat.

He proceeded to say in a frank manner we are now to disembark off this bus and make our way outside to find a pair of gold foot prints on the ground. We are each to line up on them and wait for further instructions.

After the last person has gotten off the bus and when everyone was situated, we are then told the meaning of those foot prints. It is a tradition passed on through history, whereby someone before us had stepped on those foot prints prior to starting boot camp and there will be people after us to step on those foot prints.

From there we entered the gates thus began our journey to become United States Marine Corps, an organization with a history of over 243 years.

tl;dr -- Every organization has whackadoo indoctrination.

This is already a thing with EU made appliances - new original parts can be sourced locally or on ebay at good prices.

As non-profesional I managed to replace dishwasher door springs or washing mashine carbon brushes. It needed some time and research - thanks goodness we have youtube and hobbists forums. At the end the family acclaim is priceless.

Unfortunatelly it is harder to fix some brands from S.Korea or China - no parts on the market, hard to open, fragile plastic, glue instead of screws, rare short lived model lines. My fridge's broken control panel costs about 1/5 of new fridge, plus I am not sure I will manage to assemble it back.

Sure, but I don’t really expect people to know how to refer to me before they meet me. Context provides some clues, and if they guessed then they’d probably be correct. “They/them” also works if in doubt. But presumably when you meet someone they’ll tell you what they want to be called (their name), and potentially their preferred pronouns. It’s more common in some circles than others, but all it requires is being a good listener and some humility. If you misgender someone by accident, it’s an honest mistake and that’s okay.

I met Mr Stallman only once, so I don't know him, but remembering this only encounter I feel that he is not one of those humans who wield power expertly. So he fell. I think this is like a putsch. We will see what happens with GNU the next ten years.

I don't mean to exculpate nor denounce him, just point out that he is different.

This is a very bold claim, would you happen to have anything to base it off other than her personal opinions that she expressed about Stallman?

The first edition of the book is fantastic!

Aurelien's writing is clear and clean compared to most other books on ML.
I agree. There is even more possible and not all modules are really well designed (e.g. why did Dieter Doepfer feel the need to swap around the otherwise identical inputs between his SEM- and Wasp-Filter?). Other modules just don’t go far enough. many lack attunoators/attenuverters (for economical and space reasons).

You have to really fight to get a decent physical interface, to get a good one takes even more.

I believe the future of modular interface design lies especially in more visual feedback which makes usage easier and more intuitive and systems more reliable during live usage. There we can learn from modular and semimodular synths from the software side.
i have always questioned this, not only is it inefficient and even confusing at times if you normally work perfectly fine in your head but often the reasoning is to "show youve done it correctly" which i qualm simply because it gives the idea that there is only one possible approach to something which kind of stifles peoples ability to accept that things can be done a different way

just because Pythagoras came up with a way to calculate the length of a hypotenuse doesnt mean its the only way but thats what youd be led to believe and as such no one considers other methods and will probably even dismiss any alternatives without even bothering to check

thats not to say that we shouldnt check that people understand how to do things but this can be achieved by posing a few questions, if the answers are consistently right then we can generally assume the method used to get there is valid (or they cheated which will be pretty evident when they attempt to apply it to a real situation)

but i have a strange way of working with numbers, as long as i understand the theory my brain works more abacus like than using arabic numerals so it essentially creates an extra step in having to sort of convert the working out back into something thats writable, in my school days i found that more difficult than the problems themselves, thankfully its something i havent had to do for a great many years

Eh, you really need to understand how scripts work without necessarily being able to read them.

You may need to be able to read some scripts, but learning scripts is much easier than learning languages. Most text rendering experts I know seem to be bilingual or monolingual, but understand the mechanics of a lot more scripts (and can read a couple). Many of them are people who taught themselves about other scripts as they went along.

It's quite easy to talk about text from other scripts in a more clinical way without actually being able to read the script: I've often had text rendering discussions about the Perso-Arabic or Devanagari scripts with folks who can't 100% read the script, but know the mechanics of the script: you can totally describe things in terms of general categories like consonants and vowels (in both scripts they behave differently, an equivalent in the Latin script would be talking about letters and accent marks).

I once wrote https://manishearth.github.io/blog/2017/01/15/breaking-our-l... which goes through the various ways scripts deviate from Latin that most programmers should know. There's a lot that isn't listed there (which only folks working specifically on text would need to care about), but it's not hard to acquire that background to a level well enough to be effective.

As demonstrated in that post you can also "collapse" a lot of scripts together into one set of scripts with similar behavior. A lot of the weirdness in text shaping, for example, is covered by the Perso-Arabic script and any one Indic script. I like to say that there's a reason so many people involved in text shaping are Persians.

Personally, while this stuff isn't my dayjob, I can read around ten scripts to varying degrees of success but I know like ... a couple words from each language whose script I can read. It's not hard to learn to read a script, and as I mentioned you don't even need to be able to read them: If we're counting understanding the mechanics of scripts, my 10 balloons to a number I can't even count, because I can for example now include most Indic scripts. I've had productive conversations in Unicode spaces about e.g the Punjabi script without being able to properly read it.

>>you'd have to want to be the only woman in a steel mill

I guess that's the question being asked here. Why would that one woman be the only woman in the steel mill. Why aren't thousands of women rushing to work at steel mills, or in war fronts, or in coal mines, or in any other stereotypical male dominated jobs. And you can't even blame this on some modern world conspiracy. These things have been true throughout history across times and cultures.

The answer to that question is simple. Women are under represented but they are definitely far more cleverer than men. Once you prove you are likely to die from cave ins or lung disease in a mine, or that you are almost assured to get killed in a war, that fact now begins to itself act as a filter as to who wishes to sign up and who doesn't. You have to be stupid and brave beyond belief, to sign up for this kind of stuff. But then what happens is those people who fight wars, eventually dictate politics and positions of power. This ain't exactly a grand conspiracy. But millions of men have to die in battles for a few to be in power and become Generals/Rulers. So the process is largely self sustaining. You can chose to break this, then eventually you face a stronger army and get eliminated.

This is where problems in software show up too. For years we have talked about open source work being unpaid labor. Now which intelligent person man or woman would sign up for this? So now you see if there is no gate keeping, no criteria apart from plain merit, ability to work and contribute code. Then the biggest bottleneck is you yourself. The fact that awkward nerds dominate this area is because you have to be that crazy and stupid enough to work for free building things for others. Eventually some crazy nerds will indeed write Linux or Perl or Emacs. Again its not exactly conspiracy. But it's a kind of brutal filter.

In a way men are stupid, but that kind of stupidity leads to a better positions on the very long term, because last ones standing hold positions of power over whatever is left. But in the process millions of men have to suffer in wars, refugee zones, mines and highway labor to make it happen.

The web is _partly_ encrypted in transit. To the point where it hits the closest cloudflare (or other edge) server. From then on it's often unencrypted the rest of the way to the real webserver.

Yes, it would be possible to encrypt email too but it would involve changing every email client and server there is, and there are quite a few of them. And a public key repository for everyone to be able to find the correct key for each receiving adress. Mailing list servers and other group mail would be particularly fun to solve.

This misses the differential impact of the disruption on different people. Freelancers that do audio recording, for example, may need to throw out and redo some of their work when it gets interrupted by a helicopter flyby. You either need to identify these people and five them a higher proportion of the tax revues to compensate, or price your tax/redistribution high enough that these high-value individuals are fairly compensated.
Thanks for the info. I only had quickipedia reference.

> The first time Stallman cornered a woman in an elevator at MIT and blocked her from leaving

Is this a thing that happened or something you just thought up? I've talked to women who worked with Stallman at MIT and complained to me about ways he hit on them and they never mentioned anything like that.
Did I claim that they were unbiased or did I claim that the concepts like truth, facts, and research lean heavily towards one side?

> The full title of the painting is Stańczyk during a Ball at the Court of Queen Bona in the Face of the Loss of Smoleńsk. It depicts a royal jester sitting in an armchair, immersed in thought. In the corner of the painting, through an open door, one can see that a bustling party is taking place right next door. However, Stańczyk does not take part in it, most likely saddened or overwhelmed by the information he received in the letter visible on the table on his right. Stańczyk sits in a dark chamber, contrasting with the illuminated ballroom. The window painted on the opposite side of the canvas acts as a counterbalance to it. Through it, one can see the tower of Wawel Cathedral and a comet cutting through the night sky – a clear omen of an upcoming catastrophe.

> The historical background for this painting was the war between the combined forces of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania against Russia in the years 1512-1522, and above all one of its battles: the siege of Smolensk, as a result of which, in 1514, the Russians gained control of the fortress for nearly a hundred years. Due to its strategic location, this was extremely unfavourable, threatening the security of both Poland and Lithuania and blocking the possibility of expansion to the east.

> However, Matejko’s goal was not to tell the story of the struggle for the fortress of Smolensk. By recalling events from the distant past, the painter wanted to show the consequences of bad decisions, manipulation, and scheming; the consequences of poorly thought-out actions and the lack of national unity
Cannot but agree. Above that 1.14 documentation was simply deleted from the tensorflow website and now we are scratching our heads at what to do when it comes to model maintenance.
We serve our models via TF Java API since our system is Java/Scala based. We can't even update existing TF Java API because it is incompatible with anything prior to 1.15. It's an utter mess.
I wonder if this could be caught differently. Such as say, allowing implicitly []struct to be passed where a []interface{} is required, but only if said receiver makes no modification. Otherwise, it's a compile time error. Of course, a read only slice marker would work as well.
