SE/SO reminds me more and more of how a cult is run. It's no secret that they are ideologically driven, although they kept it under lid until 2015 when they then flipped finger to their own rules and abused the platform for political causes.

Since that time it has been going downhill - not that it hasn't had problem before that. But I noticed a significant change in the "vibe" of the community from that point on.

The problem is that this can not be easily fixed as it require change of convictions. It's not about community anymore, but political wars intertwined with international agendas (which includes Y Combinator too btw).

Personally, I passed the 100k milestone, got my mug and t-shirt and deleted my account.

Not directly related but mushroom-guru Paul Stamets recommends against eating Portobello mushrooms or -if you eat them- at least cook them very very well. Paul doesn't dare to go into too many details regarding this mushroom though:

People who are poor and find that they are pregnant (planned or unplanned) - have many things they worry about, I doubt that 'my kid could be fat' is on the list of things they worry about and weigh on the decision to seek abortion or adoption.

Maybe your comment is meant as sarcasm, or to make people think about what they are saying could be construed as what you are saying, but sadly there are many people who think poor people have the same knowledge and forethought as them, and therefore are making terrible decisions that cost them and their kids in ways that perhaps should lead to them not having their kids.

There are so many things that people need to worry about, and added things that poor people are likely to consider. I don't see how obesity is likely a top concern. Maybe there are some situations where one or both parents are obese and they project concerns, and given that so many people are, that may indeed be a factor, I just don't think it's a top worry among people in most cases.

Of course there are plenty of parents that likely think most of the kids drinks from big brands that have pictures of fruit on the label actually have fruit or juice in them - and it seems that many or most do not ( https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/bestselling-fruit-drinks-for... )

So poor and non-poor alike or more likely being fooled by our food companies, and making assumptions that (mis)place trust in our brands and stores and govt regulations.

At least that how it appears from my limited view of the world these days.

One thing that agile solves that introduces the most instability into a project is the ability to constantly alter scope. It takes a lot of good management to make sure that changes in scope don't have secondary or tertiary order effects, that would be my focus for a high reliability agile process.

I've been bouncing this idea around in my head... my notion is you need to design social media* to be heavily distributed over many small sites, with a common fabric, a meta-media, connecting them.

So small sites will still fail, in fact they'll fail often, but the meta-media as a whole can continue. If anything, it forces them to be responsive because unhappy members will vote with their feet.

It also gets around many of the censorship problems that large sites have. Large sites don't want to make their algorithms or policies clear because there's a massive gain in gaming their system. A diverse collection of small sites is effectively immune to this: it's easy to game one site, but it doesn't get you much of anything.

There's still the expense of moderation, and I think it's where a meta-system shines. If you can draw moderators from anywhere, they're naturally disinterested. You can set up a standard set of procedures for how moderation is done without actually specifying what the rules are. The site owner has sole discretion as to what the rules are, and can override moderator decisions, limited by their willingness to micromanage and upset membership.

The incentive to moderate is that if you want to appeal a decision or otherwise request moderator attention, you must yourself do moderator duty to earn enough "civic duty" points. It's like jury duty, only more directly tit for tat. And I think a well designed system would help educate people as to why certain decisions are made, leading to greater investment.

I think there are huge technical barriers to such a scheme, especially building a UX that works across systems and dealing with not terribly technical site admins. Hell, I'm not even sure what the "meta-media" part of it is, whether it's discussions or interest groups or are there meta-sites that somehow overlay multiple real sites on common topics.

But it would be a fun project...

Let's be honest, Enterprise sales companies have to get a soc2 or equivalent. Otherwise, if your customers aren't asking for it, it's easy to go without. Especially at under 1000 people. I've worked at companies with ~200 employees that didn't have a security policy and were incredibly insecure. 500 is typically when b2c will start thinking about security programs, but the reality is that unless security is revenue generating it becomes incredibly hard to build out security policies

While this seems like a nice effort the roadmap for Neovim has Tree-sitter¹ integration² planned for the next release (0.5).

Tree-sitter - A New Parsing System For Programming Tools

"Developer tools that support multiple programming languages generally have very limited, regex-based code-analysis capabilities.

Tree-sitter is a new parsing system that aims to change this paradigm. It provides a uniform C API for parsing an ever-growing set of languages. It features high-performance incremental parsing and robust error recovery, which allow it to be used to parse code in real-time in a text editor.

We're in the process of integrating Tree-sitter into both GitHub.com and the Atom text editor, which will allow us to analyze code accurately and efficiently, paving the way for better syntax highlighting, code navigation, and refactoring." -- Here's an interesting talk about it: https://www.thestrangeloop.com/2018/tree-sitter---a-new-pars...

Is there somewhere leader board for uptime? I found subreddit on topic https://www.reddit.com/r/uptimeporn/
Is that such a big issue though ?

The default install of my dev machine (Ubuntu) installed two different versions of python and perl5, neither of which I use. Other languages have been installed indirectly because I installed one tool or another. As long as the language itself doesn't get in the way (e.g. the tool is picky about the language version and requires extra work to install it) why should I care ?

> They were small and close nit

That's my growing problem with Reddit (and somewhat HN). There's actually a fallacy to "the more, the merrier". As some of my favorite subreddits have grown and seen a lot more crossover users, it's become way less merrier of an experience. Like having a favorite swimming spot or nice hiking trail get inundated with people - it changes the dynamic of doing something. In my opinion, it leads to the "generalization" of subreddits, where dumb posts are the new average and the "uniqueness" of the subreddit gets lost.

Idk, to me it seems inevitable that "grow, grow, grow" the userbase is going to have some detrimental effects to the nature of a community. Maybe it's all wishful thinking at this point, but "small and close nit" sounds better of a community than "extra-large and individualistic".
We didn't have Bazel on ARM for NixOS because we can't bootstrap openJDK on ARM. There's no source code for a JVM that compiles on ARM afaik. Though in theory we could package binary blobs from oracle and bootstrap JDK and Bazel from there, it means now our trust path for your critical build tool has a random Oracle blob in its trust path there that is extremely hard to get rid off.

Build systems should be easy to build. Bazel is not by a far shot due to java being a mess in this area (ironic given it being advertised as a cross platform language).

These issues are not important for everyone perhaps. (Heck the entire Kubernetes ecosystem pulls random binaries from docker hub without any cryptographic signatures.) but it's still a shame; especially for a build system.

> You are yourself a filter

Sure, that's the point. I want to do my own filtering, not depend on someone else's.

> One wouldn't learn physics by seeing what the entire human race had to say on the subject because virtually the whole of humanity knows next to nothing on the topic. We instead filter it by people that are known to be knowledgeable on the topic.

But how do we know who is knowledgeable? There are plenty of websites out there with crackpot content whose authors claim to be knowledgeable.

One common way is to accept some kind of credential that is supposed to correlate with being knowledgeable. For example, person A is a professor of physics, and person B is a random person on the Internet with no credentials, so person A is much more likely to be knowledgeable about physics.

However, that still doesn't mean you should believe everything person A says about physics, because, unfortunately, person A is probably not going to be as careful as they should be about distinguishing actual proven physics, physics that is confirmed by experiment, from their own opinions. Watch a Brian Greene or Michio Kaku special on quantum mechanics and, if you don't know much about physics beforehand, you will come away thinking that Star Trek style transporters are just around the corner. Read a pop science article by a string theorist as a lay person with no background knowledge and you will come away thinking that physicists have experimental proof that a multiverse of 10^500 universes exists.

And this is in physics, a hard science, where we can do experiments that confirm particular predictions of our best current theories, General Relativity and quantum field theory, to thirteen or fourteen decimal places. Imagine what it's like in softer disciplines. And the more important the consequences, the more likely it is that people who are thought to be knowledgeable will fail to distinguish between what's actually known and confirmed and their own opinions. Physicists misleading people about quantum mechanics or string theory is regrettable, but nobody is advocating huge public policy choices based on quantum mechanics or string theory. That's not true in other disciplines.

So the unpleasant fact is that I can't trust others, even experts in their fields, to filter for me. I have to do my filtering for myself. That's why I don't want people to give me their opinions and spin about things. I want to see the raw data so I can decide for myself.
Syntax is the absolute best thing about Haskell and it's ML relatives, especially coming from C++ and Java as I did. It's succinct and very easy to read, without braces, parens and type annotations scattered everywhere. For example, defining a function is as simple as "let f x = ..x.."

The succinctness of Haskell really matters when dealing with non-trial code or types. Just compare the type signtaure of "SelectMany" in C# to an equivalent in Haskell.

(Monocots and Dicots split ~140-150 Myr ago [0], Arthropoda and Chordata about ~1000 Myr ago [1]) (I initially thought the Monocots/Dicots split was further back... looks like a closer comparison would be to marsupials, diverging ~170 Myr ago)

FWIW, if this were likely, it probably would have already happened. That's the paradox of superbugs.
I only pick the "best" ones around here (Chanterelles, boletus), and those happen to be risk-free because of how they look. I don't pick mushrooms where I'd need to use my judgement to decide whether it is deadly or delicious. It's also very few that are this toxic, and I don't know of anything I'd like to pick that even resembles it (I'd never pick a white mushroom, for example - and that alone lets me dodge the deadly one).

Of course if one doesn't enjoy being in the forest, and don't enjoy eating the mushrooms - there is little point to it.

These are political, ideological driven posts. Not everyone agrees with the political content; the point being, whether you do or not, this doesn't belong on a site such as SO.

It doesn't - which is why a lot of people get sick in Sweden every year and it's heavily skewed to people who aren't Swedish. I'm not sure if it's because they lack knowledge entirely, or because the knowledge they had didn't transfer.

Few swedes would pick a white mushroom at all, and most would know that it at least shouldn't be white both on top and underneath because that's deadly.
If it happens every time then it should be easy for you to give a small example. Please do! It’s very hard to understand what you mean otherwise.

JVM startup is sub-second. Still not great for e.g. small command line utilities, but completely fine otherwise.
I always have the opposite reaction. When I see its a native tool I immediately think, "oh great, now to build this I need to know how to understand your weird glib / gcc version weird compile / link / error for some ecosystem I don't understand". Instead when I see Java / JVM and know that almost certainly I will have no problems like that.

That's not really accurate. Grace Hopper created the FLOWMATIC language (which was the immediate ancestor of cobol) because she believed that computers should be programmed using something closer to natural language than machine code, and COBOL was made to be business-oriented but it was not created for business people to use. The concept of a "user" of a computer who was not an expert in computing would have been quite strange at that time (1959).
Benjamin also used a similar process to learn writing. I've been meaning to try it, but I'm a huge procrastinator.

Problems with user created content sites are all the same:

The default license is always that the user grants only the site they post to the ability to host the content.

It would be nice if the default, by law, was that user created content posted publicly was available for re-hosting. Otherwise, the company would have to ensure the user understands that they are gifting the company future control in a specific way.

The result of the current climate is that these companies go against who gave them their power and because of their content arsonal are immune to reprisal.

With a default public license enforced by law, we'd see so much more innovation and cooperation of content hosts. The balance of power between content creator and platform would shift.

This would essentially solve most problems with Facebook, reddit, stackoverflow, linkedin, and more all at the same times. They'd have to try harder to do right by their users or risk losing them to a competing platform with the same data.
