I have a cousin that works building fire fighting water bombers. The planes were never engineered for that application as well. They are literally taking these planes and gutting them, add giant pumps and plumbing and other devices some of it literally off the shelves of stores any one of us could use. These devices were never made "for air plane application". But they ultimately have an engineer who decides what is safe and signs off on the design. I have no doubt that this company either has the same or paid the price to have that pod engineered on to the existing limits of the plane.
Frankly, I find this comment surprising. "Lack of transparency" describes 80% of the companies I have worked at. If Gitlab losing its radical transparency is a reason to jump ship, to where would one go?
Zero “massive fortunes” are made pulling your money out of the market and hiding in cash like OP suggested because you are scared.

To profit off of a black swan event, you need to do 3 insanely hard things. You need to 1) predict both the exact timing of the the crash & the recovery after 2) predict the scale of the move downward and 3) actually go short and expose yourself to massive asymmetric risk.

Massive fortunes are also made at the casino once in a while. That doesn’t mean it’s a repeatable strategy. Paul Tudor Jones and John Paulson know a thing or two about this.
And this is why I find DevOps work more interesting than programming. System integration is just endlessly challenging. I always enjoy reading a well-documented integration debugging session!

AFAIK, there is no tool that lets you specify a compiler version in your project, then automatically build with that compiler. The equivalent of rustup, rvm, nvm, etc.

There is also no standard package manager.

It is very hard to persuade GCC to use a specific set of libraries that you have obtained using a package manager, or vendored or whatever, rather than getting distracted by random libraries it happens to find in in /lib etc. The root of the pain is that you really want to use the host system's platform libraries, the ones which implement the POSIX API, but once the compiler can see those, it tends to go off looking for other things in the same place. In my experience, at least!

These deficiencies are tied up with the historical interrelationship of C and the operating system, but that doesn't mean that they aren't real.
can't you buy a domain with a pre-paid debit card ?
The argument here is that we need to streamline the regulatory environment for nuclear, invest in it, and convince people not to fear it, if we hope to make a real dent in climate change.

Solar and wind are great technologies, but they cannot be the sole basis for a power grid without positing some new energy storage technology that does not exist today and for which there is nothing on the horizon.

Nuclear technology has stagnated horribly because of the fears. Even the newest reactors are using old designs because it's impossible to move forward with new ones.
Alvin Weinberg basically said that one cannot make the same safety guarantees for a 1000 MW utility scale reactor vs. a 16 MW naval scale reactor.

Is it "no Russian employees" or "no employees located in Russia"? Because there's a big difference here, and the latter is a pretty common policy (and de facto true for the vast majority of companies, even if not intentionally).

>Banana-gorilla-jungle problem results from OOP.

Not really. There are specific design decisions that Java made which enabled this issue to manifest. I've recently took a foray into Smalltalk and it doesn't have this problem, because methods depend on object interfaces rather than class types. AFAIK, OCaml also got this issue right while keeping static type checks - they decoupled classes from types.

>Functional languages don't carry around their environment with them

It is entirely possible to recreate the issue in a functional language, as long as there are sufficiently powerful mechanisms to enforce type safety during compilation. In fact, if you don't understand this and follow the advice in the article too far, that's exactly where you will end up. You will have a jungle monad containing gorilla monad holding hostage the banana data structure the user actually cares about.

Expecting developing/advancing countries like India/China to restrict their quality of life will never happen. Neither will countries in Africa decide that improving their citizen's lives should take a back seat to climate change.

We need more power, as carbon clean as possible. Any talk of reducing usage is naive at best.

No it's a not a terrible argument. I agree that diets aren't the same from species to species, but the plant life had to be thriving in order to support creatures that large and that abundant.

But for what it's worth, birds are the closest living relatives to dinosaurs and we have no trouble digesting birds for nutrition. In fact, chickens are the closest living relatives to Tyrannosaurus Rex. So we would have no trouble at all roasting a T-Rex and consuming it for nutrition were we able to hunt one.

Prior to the recent debacles, they were rewarded for their transparency.
In the PyCon video (link posted elsewhere), a questioner asked if they had thought of making the pod able to be controlled during banking to keep the data from being tainted with outlier values. The speaker described that FAA rules determine what can be attached to the airplane so it was better to make the pod dumb and fix the data in post processing. Presumably they built the pod as light as possible to fit under FAA regs.
A fully invested technical partner
Indeed, why should one.

This letter doesn't really inform the reader of anything. The very fact that it talks around the issue so much that you cannot even discern at all what the issue was, hints at "I don't need, nor do I want to know".
As I recall, the original UTS ran on top of VM/370, but the later, native version relied on being on Amdahl hardware. I don't recall what specifically was required.

It seems Automaticc did something like this. Wordpress was founded in 2003, and the company Automaticc in 2005, meaning they probably spun Wordpress out as the product. Now, the parent company owns a bunch of different products. Obviously speculation on my end.
It’s just a confusion between two different valid definitions of the word public, not some indication of the state of the culture.

Public/private can refer to government vs commercial, or it can refer to “out in the open for all to see” vs “the privacy of your own home.” “Public space” is a common phrase that uses the latter definition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_space
I am the one who posted the comment you quoted.

I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me. But I had heard of the Salt lake City program years ago, and expressed doubts about it online (unsurprisingly my opinions were not very popular).

While I hope it works out, there are always externalities to doing the right thing (and housing homeless definitely is the right thing).

Residents hate living in buildings with homeless neighbours. As sympathetic as we should be, once paying tenants start finding needles in bushes or drunkards stumbling around at night, they are not so enthused. There is a degree of hypocrisy in that the liberals who want to house-first are seldom the ones who want to house-next door.

Second, municipalities that offer generous support for homeless may end up with a greater homeless population because of immigration. There isn't much of a solution for this so long as homelessness is tackled on a local basis.
That sounds nice. Please do that.
As a consumer, I don't get to pick which landfill my crap goes to. And even if I did, it would be one of fifty million micro-decisions that I, quite frankly don't have the time to make, or have the knowledge to make well.

Instead, the industry should make these decisions for me. It already does, by deciding which products to build, and how. Set tariffs, taxes, penalties, and let producers figure out how to most optimally make money in that environment. That's their core expertise - it's not my core expertise.

We don't expect consumers to be medical experts. We have doctors for that. Why should we expect consumers to also be experts in the long tail of 'various ways that producers screw up our environment'?

Well, most JSON parsers (haskell being a notable exception) use an amount of memory that is proportional to the size of the input, independently of whether they can parse deeply nested structures or not.

Saying that a parser that does not limit the nesting depth will crash your server does not make any sense. You could as well say that str_replace will crash your server.
I'm not sure I'd want it removed, but generics tend to be pretty horrific looking to people new to the language.

An example:

fn largest<T>(list: &[T]) -> T {
let mut largest = list[0];

for &item in list.iter() {
if item > largest {
largest = item;
}
}

I'm sure experienced Rust devs look at that and say it's fine, but that's definitely a hurdle for new developers.
Seems like they should have used their own capital to grow rather than take outside money. I'm sure with the influx of investor money, they were pressured to hire staff. Inflated themselves and felt they needed to get "professional" with a new brand.

He was likely throwing off a ton of money at $70k/month as a sole owner, why not just hire a few people at a time?
To expand with more detail: there are several sites which let you enter a lit of cards and they'll generate printable PDFs which, when printed on paper, are meant to be easy to cut out. For example:

http://www.mtgpress.net/

Then, you simply slip your rectangles of printer paper into a card sleave with a real Magic card (usually some card you don't care about such as a basic land) and tada, you've got whatever cards you want and all it cost was ink and time time.
Thanks for the comment!

> not a very simple one with all the "labels" and "numbers" etc.

I understand this concern. I did have quite a large number of non-technical people do the Japanese version of this course (I have a big following in Japan), and they seemed to actually understand it based on the feedback I got.

The course itself doesn't use any code and is not very fast-paced compared to this article: it spreads out the material covered in this article in 17 pages and takes about 2-3 hours to read.

You beat me to this.

There's a lot here that doesn't make sense. Supposed 5mil entrepreneurs used it. I assume that's paying customers because why count looky-loos that don't buy a logo as a customer? $20 is the cheapest logo plan. That's $100mil. They're having trouble because? Plus I mean, their "AI" technology is supposed to eliminate the need of employees anyways... so... what's the problem?

Unless... gasp... they're full of shit and it's not AI, just a randomly generated template system with a large library of symbols that are keyworded extensively since the entire process requires you to actually pick within narrow parameters?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills sometimes.
>How do you measure the public health effects of radiation?

However you do it, be sure to measure the public health effects of radiation emitted from coal plants, which is far higher than that of nuclear.

I'd love to see a project preserve data for tens of thousands of years. The Egyptians did this by creating tombs. Surely we could do better.
I definitely understand the assertion that if you take too long to experience some piece of media, it harms the experience of it in a not-insignificant way. At the extreme end, it's certainly possible to put something down so long that you can't just pick it back up again without starting over—probably most people have experienced that. It's reasonable that there is some less-insurmountable but still real harm done to the experience by stretching out reading a novel over too long a time.

Just couple of weeks ago I had to debug a production problem when Jackson parser failed on parsing prod-specific configuration (in JSON). Turns out the problem was a trailing comma in the array of values. IntelliJ IDEA JSON syntax highlighter did not flag it, due to some obscure setting.

I also had problems with some JSON parsers allowing NaN and Infinity as double values and others - failing on them.
Here is a deal. Change offer name back to LogoJoy, keep Looka as a company. Then build it from that.

Once it is established and substantial, one can always do a smooth logojoy.com -> looka.com/logojoy tansition. For example, the transition to looka.com/logojoy can only be applied when a customer is logged in.

Once they have registered customers, they can pitch them other offerings from looka.com domain like looka.com/brandjoy etc.

Such incremental approach would open a smoother path to success.

P.S. As a quick remedy, they should change looka.com/logo-maker/ to looka.com/logojoy right now. Then, they should pitch the visitors with the right message: "Make a logo with Looka" should be changed to "Make a logo with LogoJoy" or "Make a logo with Looka LogoJoy". Karma is real, once one has it they should not deny it.
Even funnier is my negatively rated comment. But hey I guess the Attorney General of California is California! Who would have known!
It appears that someone who wore a pro-Trump MAGA hat to a software conference is being punished for violating an event Code of Conduct. Unless there is a general ban on hats and clothing with political statements at software events, this is clearly discriminatory.

"The Linux Foundation received a public tweet sent to the @KubeCon twitter address. That tweet recommended that Kube Con discontinue their association with Charles Max Wood. The reasons given in this complaint were his request for an open and civil phone call, and a picture of Mr. Wood wearing a MAGA hat.

The Linux Foundation publicly replied from the @linuxfoundation twitter account as follows:

Hi all, We have reviewed social and videos and determined that the Event Code of Conduct was violated and his registration to the event has been revoked. Our events should and will be a safe space."
Quite the feat to build a site this slow...
I want transparency from my government.

Would I want an unwavering commitment to do everything in the open from my employer?

Clearly people who joined GitLab knew that was the deal and, while I see the point you're making, VC-funded code hosting (plus extras) isn't in the same league as the government.
An important point to communicate here is this is based on someone's geographic residence, not their ethnicity or nationality.

An American living in China or Russia would be subject to the same policy of not being hired. A Chinese or Russian person living in Europe would still be eligible for employment.
I wish.

The dev simply writes new string concatination code every time a new endpoint is needed, so I can't even hope for some bugs being gone for good after he tested his implementation with a few endpoints.

It was a nice read. The real lesson here is how to diagnose issues like this.
Sounds pretty dismissive. AI and Big Data are buzzwords that shouldn't be used very often. Data Science is about creating solutions that are right for the size of your data, and the questions being asked of it.

A C++ program with a couple megs on the heap is appropriate, just as an ETL pipeline is appropriate for gigabytes to terabytes.
A lot of divisions in America are driven by generations of policy based on racism - from redlining, white flight and zoning policies that changed the structure of cities and are now used as weapons against newcomers and change, to the very existence of many cities and governments that were created in order to be a separate white space from the larger cities nearby, and the use of these boundaries to avoid funding the basics of society for everyone (school districts, libraries, roads, etc).

The vast majority of Americans are not racist in the sense that they are personally antagonistic to an individual of another race. But many of them are racist in the sense that they think black people on average are poorer because they have shitty culture, not because white people historically prevented them from buying land, prevented them from being educated, prevented them from using opportunities like the GI bill, etc.
In Norway we place plastic over the (food) landfill, gather the methane and use it for electricity production.
When there is no more methane the same landfill is used as soil for food production.

On the disruption part, I disagree. There are markets that are just old or aging. Fairly small improvements and a rethink of the market can already make a new product viable.

> They were saints because they passed the Roman Catholic saint tests. The Church is very specific about that.

Yeah and that test is that (a) they lived a very virtuous life, with virtues being generally well defined and these definitions generally agreed upon by anyone who ever learned a thing or two about them, and (b) through their intercession miracles have happened and been verified thoroughly as being outside the boundaries of science.

> Of the ones that called themselves Protestant, you may be correct. Of the groups that the Church labelled heretical and got quite pointy with, they've been around a lot longer.

Sure, there were Arians and Gnostics for example, but no Christians today ever say they're Arians of Gnostics, they say they adhere to the doctrines of Luther or Calvin or Zwingli or Joseph Smith or the Queen of England, etc.

> Nah, most of the Protestants started off having problems with the idolatry and the excess of mammon. [...] The Bible is a bit picky about idolatry and excess of mammon. I guess it's each to their own as to what you consider a credible teaching.

That's the same thing I said: they claim the church became corrupt, and for their reasoning they point to bad practices, trying to draw from these bad practices conclusions about corrupted doctrines.

> Well, that's good to know. Hate to think there's any systemic issues with the modern Church.

Your sarcasm is very warming on this bitterly cold day. Yes, there is corruption in the church once again. That doesn't mean the teachings or the Sacraments are invalid, just that the teachings aren't understood as well or followed as much anymore, nor are the Sacraments received properly often enough.

That's why I try to correct any and all misunderstandings anyone has about Catholic teachings insofar as I am able. So many people are led away from Catholicism, or lukewarm with it, simply because of misunderstandings about what it really is and what it really teaches.
> I don't see whats wrong with the title? The article is exactly what the title suggests - An open letter to the linux foundation

The problem is the title gives you no information about what the letter is actually about. An open letter could do anything from raising an important for the community...to something that's tedious and irrelevant (e.g. "An open letter to the linux foundation about the lack of vegan food in the cafeteria").
