All of those communication modes are actually useful. Seqpacket works especially well. You can build whatever high level facilities you want on top of them: I have several times. Ease of use at the raw system call level is not relevant: application developers shouldn't be working at that level anyway.

If you want object IPC with a reply and receive operation, you can use Android's binder, which is already in mainline.
There’s a theory that longevity is lower in men because they need to be stronger in order to survive in a conflict. It’s a trade off. Physical strength is the result of growth, but some of the same pathways for increased growth are also theorized to be the root cause of aging. Note that this is independent of strength training; it’s the ability to get stronger, rather than actually getting stronger (among other related characteristics), that may affect longevity. Your intuition that accidental death and smoking do not explain the entirety of the gender gap in longevity is spot on. It’s not all bad news for men though. If you manage to avoid obesity and diabetes, your increased strength and bone density may impart greater quality of life in old age, and that may be worth the 3 lost years at the end of life. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3034172/

> I don't think water-cooler talk is possible in Slack.

Probably not quite to the same level as in-person conversation, but nearly every place I've worked had a variety of off-topic channels (both for specific topics, and totally random discussion), and plenty of my 1:1 slack conversations end up evolving into personal discussions (e.g., "Hey, btw, I saw a cool-looking book on your shelf when you dialed into the meeting - what is that?")

In humans, even individual selection is pretty negligible as an effect. We breed too slowly, we're too homogeneous, there aren't enough of us, and we don't face anywhere near the kind of selective pressure most species do.
Wow! Thanks for taking the time to write this. Great feedback and feature requests. This will definitely inform my roadmap.
There are more rules. I don't know the specifics of the US, but in most countries the activities of a non-profit have restrictions.
I hear two major problems in this story:

1) Mocking prior developers - there is nothing wrong with calling out bad code. But it should be done respectfully. We all write bad code every day. If you are not looking at your own old code and seeing how it could be better, then you are not growing as a developer. Having a discussion with the team about respect around code quality sounds like a good idea.

2) You need to accept that the team has changed. The guy who has been around the longest can often turn into a grumpy old man nostalgic for ye olden days. It might be a good time to look at the good that the new developers bring, appreciate them, and try to adapt to the new reality.

Between those two things, you can probably find a balance where they stop the negative behavior, and you seek out the positive, and you all come together as a team.

What doesn't work with short division and multi-digit divisors?
Two things I find plausible: He was under public and private surveillance, if not for his work, then for his first-degree contacts and targeting by other countries. Imagine the US state coming to you for a friendly chat: "Sir, we are aware you want to go to North-Korea to present on this 'blockchain' and 'smart contracts' thingamabob. This is a very bad idea. We only allow certain journalists and those futhering our national interest to go, you should have googled that.". "Hey, that's unfair! You really mean I am not allowed to go present public data on a conference, just because I happen to have a U.S. passport and hacker knowledge?". "Well, national interest wink-wink?" "No, thanks.". It would be fair to describe that as "sought permission and was denied."

Also of note that the complaint does not seem to have the actual presentation the guy did. The FBI must have been really nervous and interested in a certain line of questioning and topic. According to statement the audience left with a better understanding of blockchain and smart contracts then they had before. I don't think the guy held a presentation about "How to use Cryptocurrency-1 to launder money and evade sanctions". The 1 unit of Cryptocurrency-1 transfer from NK to SK could have been a hacker asking themselves: "Is this possible? Can I actually do this? What happens?". Well in this case you get the FBI-equivalent of blowing out the power in the neighborhood.

Of course, after the conference, some shady NK government employees came up to him and asked him more pointed questions (almost like an agent at the early defcons singling out Asian participants). It states they discussed "proof of work", not that the suspect was given a free (or paid) consultancy gig. I think they had nothing about the conference, so they had to wriggle all this out of him during an interview. FBI damn good at this. They got all the facts they needed to make this a convincing complaint. But reality is not straightforward.

I think you can think of plenty of other computer software nerds who got fucked by the law for doing what they do, and not murdering their wives.

>It seems like one must be a celebrity, CEO, or super user to use Twitter at all. Clearly, that’s improving, albeit at a glacial pace

I mean, most people who use Twitter are none of these things, and still seem to manage. Your comment seems to assume that someone who signs up to Twitter will never have even heard of it.

And... "esoteric grammar" of the "intimidating" Twitterverse? You do know the concept of hashtags alone have become so well-known that they're used in everyday English, right?
It was chilling to read the last section (starting “This was pretty cool ... for a while ...“). The network got big enough that people who “had nothing to do with the design, creation or maintenance of the FidoNet software” started asserting control over how the project was run, and forming committees. Shortly after, it sounds like political struggles led to forks and disillusioned members.

When I think about all the code-of-conduct/governance/etc advocacy that comes from outside the core of today’s big projects, it’s hard not to worry about the similarities.
I’m suspicious of the bacronym REST. Was it created to push the idea? I’d rather they coined a neutral acronym. This one reeks of marketing.
SUMMARY: The average person's circle of concern has a diameter of 4-5 feet, depending on how recent the last meal was. This can be verified by scrolling through Twitter for five minutes or listening to literally anyone's political opinions. Some people feel that this might have been different in the past? Consequently, "scientists" are investigating the causes and symptoms of kindness, presumably in order to find a cure. So far they have made no discoveries worth reporting, so they decided to replicate an experiment discussed in Media Studies for Dummies.

Is anyone else getting bored with this kind of “analysis”? Yes—people in the 99.9th percentile are significantly more <anything> than people in the 99th percentile.

“Never mind the 0.01 percent. Let’s talk about the 0.0001%!” would be even more crazy, considering the exponential distribution of wealth.
I'm more intelligent than someone with Downs Syndrome, but that doesn't mean their life is less valuable does it? Let me guess: they get a pass because they are human. That's what it comes down to really: things that are like me deserve rights and respect and things that aren't don't. That all humans happen to fit into the "like me" category is a relatively recent concept.
Shocking Things I Learned by Working as a Butler at the Plaza Hotel
"...considering the exponential distribution of wealth."

_That_ is the point
Every time you talk about the top 1% or even the top 0.01%, you eliminate an opportunity to talk about how you can really help the bottom 50%.

By constantly painting things as hopeless and unfair, all you do is stimulate rage.

I said it was "this weekend" and the complaint, that two drivers, one after another can ditch you at the eleventh hour and you get no compensation, no indication of what happened, no ability to rate that driver for letting you down.

Those issues are all systemic. They apply to Uber everywhere today just as much as they did six days ago when this happened.

Wildberger has a channel that explains this from scratch, also shows a different method of long division https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5A714C94D40392AB

A couple things to add:

1. Microsoft got paid about $400 million for their work on OS/2, supposedly, through to v1.3 .

Development of Windows through to v3.0 was much much less. It is safe to say that Microsoft made money from the partnership with IBM.

2. OS/2 installation had a fatal flaw: if your PC had cache memory you had to disable it while the installer copied the files from floppy. It didn't hurt install speed since floppies were the bottleneck but it was very confusing to the newbies to OS/2 that IBM was trying to attract.

3. The Ziff-Davis magazines were pay-to-play in editorial content and they plugged Microsoft as being the better choice all the time. And pre-Internet they were a big source of information.
Complaints rarely have things like "the actual presentation the guy did". They can supersede the initial complaint with a more detailed indictment, or just stick with the one count they have and introduce their evidence at trial. I think you're reading tea leaves here.
GP must be talking about the shortcut procedure to do it that is taught in schools.

Count your blessings. My job involves typically big pieces that are visible to anybody who looks under the hood. And they are often expensive custom pieces, so it's painful to add or modify one.

When stuff is visible and tactile, folks assume that they should intuitively understand it. So my work is subjected to endless critique and brainstorming from everybody, including managers.

Sometimes I envy the embedded systems people because nobody ever looks at the innards of their designs.

All of the main social media platforms at this point have exactly the same set of skewed incentives (i.e. attention maximizing instead of value generating). I sense some sort of massive opportunity around campaign the formula but not the exact way forward yet.
Amen to this! Imagine if all the bright minds in SV, were looking to improve the world instead of enrich themselves and their overlords by any means necessary.

However I don't think we should limit the number of anything, if are qualified and knowledgeable enough to do brain surgery, you should be allowed to. Not just because your family was rich enough to fund education or you were willing to foot the debt. Taking less profit out of education might help fix the doctor shortage.
My issue with all of these discussions is that they invariably present ideas that are just too complicated, and our tax code is just too complicated as it is.

Create a system that can be applied evenly, and fairly, from the top to the bottom and then I think you’ve got a great and novel idea.

> it’s hard not to worry about the similarities.

I don't find it hard to not worry about it at all.
What is the point exactly? No policy is going to change the fact that the natural equilibrium for such systems is a Pareto distribution, AKA it follows a power law. We can definitely hope to change the constants of the distribution, but to fundamentally change such a distribution would really be a fool's errand.
But you can’t get rid of guns in the US. All you can modulate is the rate of legal gun ownership.
Well, it's not surprising that Engadget would compare it to Reddit, one of the top 20 websites in the world that readers actually use in 2019, instead of a dead social platform that people don't use except maybe a handful of people still using it for piracy.

Even nested-view on forums like vBulletin and phpbb was more or less worthless for various reasons, like how the software defaulted to a single-level linear view and nobody bothered to explicitly reply to individual posts. Also, linear view let you respond to any number of posts at a time which was superior for longer form discussion among multiple people, something that HN/Reddit can't really do.
How did being PC harm anyone in this case? It appears they knew exactly what was doing it and clearly said so?
I think a study of emotional fragility with the context of gender would be very helpful in identifying this modern phenomenon. Complicating modern culture in this way can not be conducive to progress or quality of life for anyone involved.

Sigh. My statement of impossibility was understanding the brain understanding the brain as a whole. This is the only part that is IMPOSSIBLE.

Your statement of modularizing portions of understanding into pieces to deal with complexity is isomorphic to my statement that we can only hope to understand A representation of the brain as a simplification.

The engineers who understand steering Understand the rest of the car as a symbolic representation. The lead designer of the car understands most detailed components of the car as symbolic representations.

In short each human as individuals CAN ONLY understand the CAR/BRAIN as a symbolic simplification. This is the BEST possible outcome. What you are SAYING is the EXACT same thing I am SAYING.

The one difference is... I am taking it ONE STEP further with a speculation on the nature of intelligence.

There exists concepts in this world that are fundamental and cannot be modularized. It is a very reasonable speculation that the understanding of consciousness itself cannot be further modularized or subdivided. I am saying that in order to understand consciousness it may very well be, that we have to understand consciousness as a complex whole and this complexity may be too big for us to hold in our heads.

This IS a realistic possibility. We are already seeing the limits to this with the black box nature of the neural nets we are generating. Either way this was a speculation. You (and many others) completely misunderstanding and taking it the wrong way.
I don't think you'd have much luck getting anything back from that "guarantee"... so is it a guarantee?

Wasn’t that always the case. Nobody cares about the guy earning 250k/y.

It’s the handful of people who control 90% of all wealth. “1%” was a catchy soundbite but it was always the 0.0001%
One of the best examples I can think of is when a really great technical individual contributor switches to a management career path because in many organizations that is the clearest path for career growth and higher compensation, even when the individual is not really interested in or motivated by managerial responsibilities such as developing others or listening to their problems. This pattern repeats: seeking individual gain by doing something that really is not authenticate to your values and interests, with negative consequences for everyone.
We absolutely face the same degree of selective pressure that other species do. You can clearly see that some people leave many descendants, whereas others leave none. The selective pressure we face is different though. Other species may be selected primarily on ability to extract food from the environment while surviving predation and disease, whereas we are being selected on our desire to have children.
Is there any theoretical reasoning for expecting a Pareto distribution to result? Would a distribution closer to normal not be equally valid?
Yes, people always miss this, insurance companies do charge a lot, but their margins aren't high. They too are giving a lot of their income to attorneys, lobbyists, etc. When I see people simply blaming insurance it shows me they don't see the actual picture past the first layer.

Evolution focuses on genes, not individuals or populations.
As someone who holds a master's degree in economics, and is getting a PhD in genetics, I can tell you virtually everyone studying the "soft" sciences conflates observations with natural laws. There is nothing stating that a Pareto distribution is optimal. It's only a distribution based on observation, and it just happens. The underlying mechanisms are not immutable.

Please keep in mind that the process names have become meaningless marketing terms. Intel is currently a bit behind due to their 10nm fiasco, but it is entirely possible that Intel's 7nm will beat TSMC 3nm process. AMD can have 10-15% advantage for the next couple years, but 2x-3x? That's never gonna happen.
When it comes to taxes, "evenly" and "fairly" are not the same thing. That's the whole reason we have tax brackets in the first place.
It is not a universal principle that wealth must follow a power law, and even if it was, the coefficient need not be so extreme.

The point is that extreme wealth distributions push towards non-democratic societies. You like democracy, you like policies that promote it.

Also, “you can never change how it is!” is a nirvana fallacy; you certainly can make things better. It’s been done before.
Seems like there were plenty of people in the 1% cohort that would have taken up the movement if they had found an even catchier soundbite.
This seems like a different topic than the blog post but an important one none the less. I had coworkers who would deliver 100% of themself at work but only be rewarded/acknowledged for 50-70% of their contributions and they were getting worn down by it. I suggested they dial back how much they apply to somewhat more than expected and save the rest of themselves for themselves. If they’re happy with this arrangement then enjoy the new balance, if they want to do more and be rewarded for more then leave for another company.
That was a totally different DOS 4, which only surfaced relatively recently. (And the shipped versions apparently weren't fully featured either)
