To me, when someone wears that hat, it definitely is. It is endorsing all the hate that comes out of him.

Here are 271 times Trump has used the word "loser" on Twitter alone.

That is HATE. MAGA Hat == HATE, to me and a large percentage of others on this planet.
> for trying to improve their bottom line

Put in a more relatable phrasing, they're angry that they're not being compensated for the substantial expense they put into creating that content (e.g. $8M/episode for season 2).

Not paying for something you value is a good way to reduce its quality.
> Yeah, I've lost you here. Would you mind clarifying

Some time after leaving university, when your statements are no longer labeled as correct or incorrect - people like the GP start strongly believing that any nonsense that enters their head is a fundamental truth. GP's statement is an example of the above.
The carriers keep everything anyway.
No, because I didn't state that he was planning on wearing it to the conference, I stated an "if": "If Charles Max Wood would have worn a MAGA hat at KubeCon". That isn't a fact.

But if he would do it on Twitter, what is to say he wouldn't feel empowered to do it at KubeCon?
"Electricity itself is stupid cheap"

Yeah, yeah...the DC fast chargers though? I saw where somebody said they were charged like $10 for enough electricity to drive less than 20 miles. I don't know if that is really representative, but what feels right to you or anybody in terms of price is even less meaningful than one random data point.

Gas stations can sell gas for minimal cost usually due to having a convenience store with high margins attached. You can charge at home due to having a connection to the grid, a house, and wiring, all of which cost substantial money beyond the per-kwh charge. So regardless of what charging "really" costs, your reasons for why it should be essentially free seem obviously flawed to me.
What does "use all of their properties and muscle to wrest control of iOS" even mean? Apple would still control the OS and how it works. They would just allow for a real web browser that can run web code as well as you can on Windows. That's not hurting Apple at all.

Apple should stick to making top notch hardware and software for their phones. Just allow users to run a real web browser as well.
I'm not stating a personal opinion here but, for many people wearing a MAGA hat is equivalent to supporting this kind of speech:

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best, they’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” - Donald Trump, 2015

If for instance you were from Mexico, it could be discouraging to attend the presentation of someone who believes that your ethnicity implies you are, most likely, a criminal.

I personally wouldn't ask a question to someone who believes I am a rapist based on my ethnicity. Would you?
Reading the attached twitter thread, I do believe the author is engaged in a bad faith argument.

WebKit engineers provided very reasonable arguments for why WebRTC and service workers took a while to build and diverges from the spec: privacy.
> 3. People who talk about "maintainability" of things while clearly never having to maintain a large body of someone else's code.

This is the point from your rant which bugs me the most.

Quite literally due to maintainability my team uses an FP language. It is so easy to pick up code you wrote 3 years ago, code someone else wrote 6 months ago, code the guy who left 4 weeks ago wrote, code 10+ people are working on at the same time, and then continue to maintain that code without fear of misunderstanding the deep complexity that is also associated with it on top of the additional complexity you are about to add to it.

My team doesn't need to waste days doing archeological digs and comprehensions on the 18+ projects we now maintain. We simply grab the code base, modify the code which uses the idiomatic "write small components, build bigger components with those" mentality that comes with writing in a FP language, and then fix the chain of compiler errors along the way until our new feature works.

By attempting to be more precise (through either terminology or code correctness), introducing higher confidence levels (programmer confidence, code operability confidence), and wrangling complexity through well designed idioms (monads, proper effect handling), you end up delivering a large amount of value to your customers which impact their bottom line. Faster feature delivery, lower bug rates, nearly zero risk of data leaks, uncrashable software, maintainable custom software over 5+ year timelines.

I've been in this industry for 20 years now and have seen a wide spectrum of good and bad. Using FP over the last 3 years has definitely moved the bar in the "good" direction a lot further than I originally anticipated, but I suppose YMMV.

Might make things a bit more clear on the reasons why certain things are done in a certain way. It's by no means THE only way, but I hope I have listed my reasons clearly.
I read here a while back that as Engineers we have an ethical obligation to only present good options to management. That when pressed for more options we need to be careful on what we present.

I think I have gained a lot of understanding around this now, and have pushed back time and time again to prevent management demanding dangerous and risky changes without even quantifying the impact of those, positive or negative.

If only I had that before this mess began.
> This issue transcends politics, and is more directly about ethics and human decency.

False. Politics is how we work out how to live together given conflicting value systems.

> When a few bad actors threaten the stability and civility of that environment, conference organizers have not only a moral duty, but a professional obligation to address the situation.

This type of response is not going to change anyone's mind, and is only going to make the problem worse.
I didn't say that, I just said that it is threatening to others to wear that hat. If anyone wears that hat knowingly in public, they do it to agitate others, IMO.

The CEO of Charter is banging his head against the wall? How about legitimate, paying consumers (such as myself) who happily pay for these services yet endure pure bullshit like unskippable ads on DVR recordings or disabling accounts because of IP address changes? These chumps are making money hand-over-fist yet feel like they’re “losing billions” to password sharers. If these streaming services move to the tactics the article mentions, consumers will drop them like a hot potato. I can tell you that the day Hulu (for example) starts using crap like 2FA to allow me to continue watching a stream is the day I would cancel my account without hesitation.

> This is not art criticism,

I didn't say it was, but as an art critic he's more than sufficiently qualified to share his opinions on art galleries around the world. He visits art galleries for a living. He has plenty of credibility to make such a critique and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the fact he's American or writing for an American paper.

It's amazing what some people choose to get offended by. Or how people seek out mini power-trips by rejecting a diversity of ideas, pushing the idea only people born in some place or with certain attributes can be allowed to critique things. Or at worst the inherent xenophobia of dismissing foreigners opinions because they weren't born in the same country of the thing they are critiquing (which France and the french are notorious for, even here in Canada).

I usually have massive nerves when I give talks. I once remarked how average Go is: https://blog.chewxy.com/2019/02/20/go-is-average/
Subs don't typically dive that deep only a few hundred (US Los Angeles class) to 2000 or so (US Seawolf class) (of course this is stated depth but speculation gets us nowhere). The ocean averages over 3.5 km deep so most of it is beyond the range of subs so they probably have pretty good maps of up to the continental shelf but beyond that it gets less useful.
According to this CNN article (https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/04/tech/microsoft-japan-workweek...), they measured "sales by employee" and compared with the previous year.

Your feeling is wrong. I used to collect optical media for many years, until I got rid of all my optical drives. At which point, my only choice was to torrent movies. Optical wasn't DRM free, but at least I could rip those, which is what I usually ended up doing for ease of use.
It seems that you are agreeing with me.

A standard library for a language with a purpose (like Go) should include a lot of stuff related to that purpose. That avoids the need for an intricate web of dependencies and specialized third-oarty code, but ties the language to its purpose a bit more.

A standard library for a use-for-anything-and-everything language (like rust) might be smaller because it relies more on third-party libraries for the specific purposes you have in mind.
I am. I think others in the company are now too. To be told that our knowledge and expertise isn't respected was a real blow.

>> where the mainstream political candidate of the American Right has more in common with despot authoritarians

Citation Please... I would love to know what actual policy, law, or procedure in place from 2016 to 2019 that is that starkly different from the policies and actual policy, law, or procedure that were in place by the US Federal government from 2008 to 2016.

List them...

Trump is a buffon, and is boorish with his speech and loves to piss people off on twitter, but the American president (thankfully) is limited in power, as such in reality not all that much has changed from one president to the next.

So you are either ignorant of the policies that have been in place for probably decades that many people think are "new" (especially around immigration which those policies have been in place for decades now)

>We know that any involvement of people from diverse backgrounds leads to a more creative environment

As long as they are not republican right?

>Whether or not political extremists are bothered by that is frankly irrelevant.

Does that extend to Left Political Extremist (for example people wearing support for communist messaging ) or only what you consider "Right Extremism" which is most likely normal republican policies. It funny to me when people call Trump (a former democrat) "Extreme Right" when in reality is left of what the Republican party was just 15 years ago, he has pulled the Republican party more "left" on social issues. The problem is not that the republicans have gotten "more right" it is the Democrat have pulled their steering wheel all the way to the left and stomped on the accelerator peddle.

I am outside observer to both parties, the Republicans have not gotten more right, it is the left that has shifted WILDLY in the last 4 years.
Yes, I think the confusion of thoughts with the mind seems to be at the root of much of the controversy surrounding free will. Narrativized thought is not necessary for action although it often accompanies it. Too often we mistake the verbal part of our mind for our whole mind, it is only a part though it happens to be the loudest!
Yeah, this is pretty much my thoughts as well. Even aside from the large range of topics out there, there's a massive gap from "can do something useful" to "can program well / in a maintainable way".

One of my dormmates in college was in some engineering degree, I forget what, and decided to learn some programming from us, since so many of us were in CS. It was a pretty short time before he could do useful things, actually helping him finish his projects faster, but all that took was some very basic concepts: arrays, loops, conditionals. I think on the order of a week to get the concepts down and be able to write a C program from scratch, and another week or two before he had the concepts embedded in his mind enough to use it with his own work.

Thing is, even that was far faster than I typically saw for those same concepts, as a Teacher's Assistant for the introductory CS courses. The engineering mindset seemed to give him some sort of foundation to pick it up faster, even having never done it before.

And his code was absolutely terrible, he had a long, long way to go if he ever wanted to even consider programming as a profession.
> I'd still consider it a fundamental right of anyone to openly advertise their support for a mainstream political candidate and not get banned from public venues for that.

KubeCon is not a public venue, at least in the way I think you mean it. It's a private conference, with tickets and admission policies. It's not a government; presumably so long as it does not take discriminatory action towards a protected class of people, it is free to do as it pleases.

> it's not appropriate to require them to change their opinion or try and exclude them from society.

Ease off on the handwringing. KubeCon is hardly "society". It's a niche industry conference.
Agree with this. The MAGA hat is a symbol of endorsing every vile thing Trump has ever said. It is a threatening symbol and I believe many wear it not to stand with America but to stand with Trump, who is only concerned with Trump. And some wear it to trigger others.

It is a threatening, offensive, inconsiderate gesture.
No, I'm quite certain that people deserve to be treated with equal dignity and respect regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, race, national origin, or disability. Perhaps in the past this masqueraded as a political question, but it's too late to put that cat back in the bag. If we're sophisticated enough to hold a conference on the future of open source service orchestration, surely we have it in us to call a spade a spade and keep our conferences safe from bad actors.
This is a good point, but as far as I'm aware there is no legislation in the US prohibiting power companies from building nuclear plants right? In fact, there are subsidies and loan guarantees put in place by the government to encourage investment in nuclear. What precisely are oil and coal companies doing to prevent the construction of nuclear power plants?
Agressive EEs can cover a lot. I started out designing chips. Agressive CS (Compilers, OS, Data Structures, Databases) can cover a lot. Some of the modern stacks dependencies (npm, blegh) leave you with a lot to comb through. Modern compiler's ability to deal with various level caches and memory architectures, and look-aheads, and TLBs, and what not, can boggle the mind a bit.

One can pretty easily understand all of the sub-systems in isolation (well, it takes more than a couple of years!), but not on ALL of the systems, and complex systems, in total are more than any one mind can reason about in, in total. Too much for one brain to contain the dependency graph.

Didn't he say "their rapists" not "they’re rapists"?

Subtle difference but it does significantly shrink the group being called rapists from the entire country of Mexico to only immigrants.
I would lean toward Protobuf wherever you can use it. It is designed to deal with issues like this. However, you can't always fulfill some of the requirements for it.

In those areas, XML strikes a practical balance. Especially if you can use a significant subset of XML. (If you don't need DOM, then use a parser that doesn't produce it, etc.)
We've got low unemployment (record low for African Americans and Hispanics), rising wages, and a strong stock market.

Why mess with things now? I'd understand it if someone wanted to monkey with things when the economy was awful. But why mess with it when things are good?
A fight for America, and a fight for what it's values are is exactly what politics is about. I mean, politics isn't really about voting about the color of a bikeshed; rights of people and ethics and how we negotiate large swathes of population having conflicts is the core of politics, and only when there's a consensus about the big things (which is not the case today) then "politics" becomes arguing about trivialities.
Thanks, this is the clearest cut case of voters overriding the opening of a nuclear power plant. In the US we don't usually get to vote on things like that however. What is stopping the proliferation of nuclear power here?

I will add to the pile of agreements on this.

Also, if you do end up sharding a relational database, it is often by identifying subgraphs of document-like structures that you can shard on. Need to ensure these subgraphs do not have foreign key relations with one another, but you can maintain the valuable foreign key relations WITHIN the subgraphs.

Practical example: database of user profiles where suddenly you have billions? You can skill keep foreign keys on user to email-addresses or user-to-comments while eliminating cross-user foreign keys.

I would also add a good rule of thumb: when you make the design decision to remove a database feature, you need to assume that you now need to handle that feature yourself, or your data will get corrupted. For example, when removing FK constraints, or transactional boundaries, or introduce irregular checkpointing, you now need to implement a data repair system, because your data will get broken. At which point you are probably going to end up using a change event log (your own transaction log) and a system that replays the logs in order to repair and rebuild the database.
