> What us privileged few who work in technology see as using our position of influence for good, many other people may see as a small minority abusing their power to manipulate society for the worse.

Nevermind "good" or "bad" by the select judgement of a few privileged people -- it's whether you even bother to _consider_, or instead just claim "this is hard".

We can create influencing machines, or consensing machines. Your rightful concern is applicable to influencing machines imho. A consensing machine has no centre it's drawing people into. It's a technology for users to find and coalesce around the centres that work for them.

The things the OP is implying unnavigable are the same class of challenges we navigated hundreds of years ago with intellectual property. We thought ownership was worth controlling access over, and we made arbitrary laws to propagate that regime in the world. We could deign it worth creating processes to collectively negotiate moral right/wrong together (without presupposing the will of the steward of the tech is right/wrong) and hold ourselves to that.

The fact that we don't even bother to consider the question of "should we do this" and instead fall on "this is challenging" -- that speaks volumes to how some of us are limited in our imagining of what the sickness in society might be.
I totally disagree with this article. IRC is incredibly user hostile and for even a technical user is intimidating, complex, and nonobvious. Everyone uses Slack or Discord, and everyone knows how they work, and the UI is easy. All the features that ddevault says are bad are things that almost everyone else cares about. I, for one, am thankful that more communities are moving off IRC.
Your brain doesn’t shut down when you sleep. You just stop forming memories.
I like to see people re-implement things and share their (better) results. Even if the results isn't better than the 'battle-tested' existing solutions, at least we can learn something in the process.
>What you're describing is cooperating with the status quo, which is definitely an exercise of power.

Working for ICE as an engineer would be you exercising your power for ICE. But working for GitHub as an engineer, where GitHub is customer-agnostic, doesn't seem like an exercise of power to me. Anyone can use the product you build, it's not specifically for ICE. Similarly if you design a car and some cars of that design get used by ICE, that doesn't seem like an exercise of power in favor of ICE, unless you build features specifically for ICE.

Threatening to quit if GitHub continues to sell to ICE seems like an exercise of power against ICE. Silently quitting and not telling anyone why you quit I would consider a very slight exercise of power against ICE, because over time if it happens enough, businesses that deal with ICE will be less competent that businesses that don't deal with ICE, and that will harm ICE slightly.
1) OP stated they were "notifications and polls", neither of which would contain private information or pictures.

What makes prefect stand out is the highly pythonic API and the powerful primitives for defining failure scenarios. Additionally, for me, integrating with dask is key as dask has become one of my main tools.

Heres a rewrite of the airflow tutorial in prefect: https://docs.prefect.io/core/examples/airflow_tutorial_dag.h...

My advice is try it out and see if you like the api. I think that the airflow ui is still a killer feature in 2019 though.

Theres also this post from the creator of prefect on why not airflow: https://medium.com/the-prefect-blog/why-not-airflow-4cfa4232...

I haven’t tried dagster yet, how does it compare to airflow?
>The 68000 has some serious design flaws in the architecture.

So do all CPUs from that era. This is why 68000 was replaced by Motorola itself. It's an abnormality x86 has been dragged this far.

>The CPU architecture specifies a small number of levels.

7 is pretty reasonable. They're autovectored, so interrupt latency is low. 68000 was often chosen for realtime applications due to this feature.

>Better designs, like x86 and PowerPC, leave that up to the interrupt controller chipset.

68000 doesn't in any way prevent having an external interrupt controller. Paula fills that role in the Amiga, providing 15 interrupts, mapped to the autovectored ones.
The verse says nothing about economic growth.
Good point, I did think of having a command that essentially output everything in one hit.
> In modern systems your workload is probably very specifically disk bound, or CPU bound, or network bound. It's much better to actually look at all three kinds of load separately.

> But what happens when democracy reaches a conclusion that seems obviously unjust?

In that case, we imagine a better democracy. If someone feels empathy is what makes their local democracy work better, and the further-above larger spheres of democracy no longer embody that:

We should imagine a new democracy that optimizes for empathy, no?
If they want to model the constraints of humans, they probably need to create some “attention” system where the AI needs to choose where to invest its finite attention resources. For example, the AI could choose to focus more on the minimap, which would give them higher reaction times to move around the map, but would reduce their reaction times for things on the main screen.

A great example would be seeing the faint image of cloaked units. How does that work with the AI? Can the just phrase the current screen and instantly see any cloaked unit? I can imagine an attention system where more attention dedicated to part of the screen would increase the probability of noticing a cloaked unit there.
Instead of re-inventing the wheel building your own interface, why not just spend that time working on the FOSS project in question? FOSS dogma seems to frequently get in the way of FOSS development. If you aren’t pure and blessed, somehow you are less worthy.

> isn't the whole "people with power have the moral imperative to defend (their view of) morality" how the US got into the "America, World Police" problem in the first place?

Since that didn't actually happen (the US has never been particularly enthusiastic about applying power internationally for any reason except it's own geopolitical interest, and has never been particularly shy about ignoring moral constraints to do so—though it's often struck with moral pangs after the fact), I don't think any explanation for why it happened can be accepted.

The “America, World Police” problem is a fiction railed against by advocates of even more aggressively amoral foreign policy, not something that actually concretely exists or existed.
> What you see as “lengthening the process”, others see as actually aligning the process with the laws.

It is lengthening the process no matter how I or anyone "sees" it. It's comparative, I didn't give a value judgement.

It is all politics. Part of the current administration's campaign promises was to let in less immigrants. They now take political moves to do so, including lengthening the asylum process.

There are other reasons besides not liking cheap tech labor to not like H1-B visas. Because they are tied to employers, workers that hold them are easier to abuse, as they have few other options. Other people don't like that it is based on a lottery system, and so companies that request the most H1B visas will get the most H1B visas.

It is not dissonant to believe that H1B should be reduced or removed in its entirety but other visas and legal immigration avenues should be also be opened up.

So were 386, 486 and Pentium.

At that time (Pentium), 68060 (which was also superscalar and released months earlier) would easily beat Pentium's performance at half the clock and much lower power.

Later on, x86 would surpass 68000 series, but only because Motorola never released a 68k successor for 68060. They moved on to PowerPC.
It's not. But plenty of other standard C functions like to use 0-terminated strings without explicit lengths, including most of the system interfaces, and others make it awkward to pass in the length that you're actually tracking. You only need to call one of those with an unterminated string and it doesn't even matter whether your code knows the string's length.

You could say that just means you have to be very careful whenever you pass a pointer to a string around without also passing in its length, but that's a lot of places.

A type of brainwave may help clean your brain while you sleep
This is just lovely. I'm the lead of a company's data warehouse project, having inherited it from someone who was a DBA that read a book and then made the whole thing ...

I tend to joke that I'm a digital janitor and now I'm a big data janitor. Well, things are going well enough, but cleanup on a live system with users and zillions of reports is incredibly difficult. Part of the issue is isolation and size: too many have too much access to too much data. It's overwhelming and it also leads to a lot of high cost because queries aren't understood and they're run against massive datasets.

I've been educating myself as well as I can between fixing errors and this book is just the thing I need to calm my nerves. It totally makes sense how the stages are set and even just this blog post overview has given me ideas of how to carve some things up.

Kudos, cheers, and all that. Happy Halloween!
I understand what you are saying but I do not believe all morals and values are created equal.

For one, many disparate cultures have separately developed values that are very similar. In a lot of these cultures values intersect more than diverge.

Second, I do not believe discriminating on an entity based on the perceived harm it is causing others is the equivalent to discriminating on an individual or group based on intrinsic characteristics the individuals were born with.

Further, I believe it's potentially desirable to attempt to derive a set of values and morals based on reasoning; attempting to maximize for the constructive and empowering and minimize the destructive and oppressive.
I love that I can count on the Top Minds of Hacker News to tie themselves into knots debating whether or not it is morally and ethically justifiable to try to stop the We-Kidnap-Children-And-Put-Them-In-Cages Agency from doing their job.
That's not at all what that decision says. Finding that it did not happen is not the same as finding that it is legal for it to happen.

Israel is beset on all sides by enemies of its state and has basically been at war since its creation. It has a very strong incentive to develop military industries. With support from the international community, they also have had the means to do so.
Steam numbers are massively inflated by the tons of game purchases that come through sales, bundles, and giveaways and are never played. I have something like 600 games in my Steam library, and I would bet that the median playtime would be 0.0 hours...

Just today I saw something that looked interesting, and it was 85% off because of a Halloween sale. So I grabbed it for a couple bucks. Free time being such a rare commodity, there's a solid chance I never even install it... and then there's always Stellaris or Mount & Blade or Medieval Total War that I could happily play until the heat death of the universe, competing for my attention.
Terraform 0.11.14 support added to Github Actions
While there are certainly plenty of parlor tricks and other illusions, I think in the best case, a game can contain a finely tuned learning experience, where by training you actually do get better at something. (Often something unimportant, but still fun.)

Throwing people into the deep end of the pool usually doesn't work so well. Scaling down the difficulty helps, but really what you want is challenges that teach you something. And you don't really need AI for that.

Last year I started learning to play accordion out of a method book. It has a bunch of songs ordered from easy to hard, and they're also chosen to teach certain skills. It reminded me quite a bit of good level design.
I agree with all that I think working on a thing is continuing to bring it into being. Declining to have an opinion is the same as agreeing with the current planned direction.

In that sense, continuing to work for github forwards the net moral "output" of its work. Each wrong or right is weighted differently and though I think we can all agree that there is a direction amplitude is harder.

I just want to add that, in the same sense that quitting github quietly is a tiny blow against ICE, continuing to work for github silently is also clearly supportive of ice. Actions are rarely totally morally neutral, which is ok as long as we don't pretend they are.
I guess I'm still one outrage behind when CNN and Warren were complaining about the Trump Biden ads (which was technically a candidate ad).

> The author doesn't equate them - they even list many critical things that Slack has that IRC doesn't. Which makes their conclusion even more silly.

After reading the article I feel you're misrepresenting what the author actually said.

The author lists a number of problems with Slack that in his opinion renders it "not a tool built for open source projects to use for communication with their userbase", and instead Slack is "a tool built for teams".

The author stresses that communicating with a community leads to entirely different usecases, and that "Slack has gone on record as saying that it cannot support this sort of use-case".

Afterwards, the author proposes IRC as a technology that mitigates some of the design problems that render Slack ill-suited for communicating with the userbase of open source projects.

The author enumerates arguments (technical and not so technical) to support his thesis. You've ignored them all.
There are hotels with laundry rooms; and many chains have suites that give you an extra room, including doors, or connecting rooms. Very often the price difference isn't that significant.

I haven't read enough on the Harvard admission scandal to have an opinion.

That said, there are lots of services that consider protected class in ways that aren't currently considered discriminatory. Ladies nights, for instance, are not illegal. Giving discounts to senior citizens is not considered discriminating against others.

All that said - those corner cases are always being considered and questioned. There are instances where I think the official decision is right and ones where I think it's wrong, but I'm no more perfect than anyone else.

I have long argued that the leap is not "over the chasm of uncertainty" but a "leap into the abyss." I don't have a reference handy to make my point, but it was the conclusion I drew from reading Fear and Trembling many years ago.

EDIT: “Yet Abraham believed, and believed for this life. Yea, if his faith had been only for a future life, he surely would have cast everything away in order to hasten out of this world to which he did not belong. But Abraham's faith was not of this sort, if there be such a faith; for really this is not faith but the furthest possibility of faith which has a presentiment of its object at the extremest limit of the horizon, yet is separated from it by a yawning abyss within which despair carries on its game. But Abraham believed precisely for this life, that he was to grow old in the land, honored by the people, blessed in his generation, remembered forever in Isaac, his dearest thing in life, whom he embraced with a love for which it would be a poor expression to say that he loyally fulfilled the father's duty of loving the son, as indeed is evinced in the words of the summons, "the son whom thou lovest.”
I’m making around $1,500/month of passive income. Here is what it worked for me: I created a web tool for stock technical analysis but instead trying to acquire clients by myself, I contacted some players with a solid distribution channel who lacks some tools to sell. So I offered them white label to sell inside their website, splitting the profits by 50/50. No cost for me to acquire users, sales, marketing or even support. I believe it can work with any kind of product. Pretty much the same as selling your app in a marketplace, but I would say it is easier to sell having a brand on top of it.

While I've certainly heard that statement made, the publicly stated demographic statistics do not support it.

As of July 2019, 13 - 24 year olds make up 31.9% of Facebook's overall userbase. Another 32% make up the 25-34 age range.

Compare that to some of the other platform's 13-24 demographic:

Twitter 39%, Instagram 37.3%, Snap Chat 58.5%

While Snapchat has a slightly younger audience, they also only have 210 million active users, a 13% increase from previous year. Facebook on the other hand has 2.45 billion active users, a 9% increase from previous year.
Or, the one I get the most, "But it's our government and I have nothing to hide from them." So while they wouldn't want private actors to have that information, they're fine with the government having it because they still believe the law is actually fair and impartial and such.

> The same can be said of probably most disorders listed in the DSM.

True. Although, it is plausible that some DSM-5 disorders may have greater validity issues than others, and ASD may be one of those disorders with greater-than-average validity issues. The paper I cited built an extensive case, based on 14 separate research findings, to support the conclusion that ASD lacks validity. I wouldn't presume that if you repeated the same exercise for some other DSM-5 disorder you'd necessarily get an equally negative result.

> The original purpose of DSM was so that psychologists and the lot have categorizations handy for filling out claims with patient's insurance.

Which makes its use in research especially questionable. And this is part of why NIMH announced back in 2013 [1] that they were shifting research funding away from research based on DSM categories. If research based on the DSM-5 is dubious, then funding such research is not a good use of limited research funding resources. (It is worth noting this study was funded by NICHD not NIMH; I'd question whether NIMH would fund a study like this given its current funding criteria.)

> That doesn't mean these disorders don't exist or that DSM diagnoses are invalid or useless. It just means that it's all a bit 'hand wavy'.

What do you mean by "invalid"? If by "valid" one means biological validity and/or construct validity, then the whole point of the paper I cited was to argue that ASD lacks both forms of validity, and hence that in those senses of "valid", the diagnosis of ASD is invalid.

> for up to 250 users

The thesis defended in the article is that Slack is not suited to communicate with the userbase of open source projects.

Capping a basic feature such as collecting message history at 250 users is a limitation that supports the author's thesis, as clearly it demonstrate that Slack is unable to handle the communication needs of a moderately popular open source project.
