You missed my favourite part and quote from the pilot (Moody):

> As Flight 9 approached Jakarta, the crew found it difficult to see anything through the windscreen, and made the approach almost entirely on instruments, despite reports of good visibility. The crew decided to fly the instrument landing system (ILS); however, the vertical guidance system was inoperative, so they were forced to fly with only the lateral guidance as the first officer monitored the airport's distance measuring equipment (DME). He then called out how high they should be at each DME step along the final approach to the runway, creating a virtual glide slope for them to follow. Moody described it as "a bit like negotiating one's way up a badger's arse."

They are great too, I see them on par with DO
Your statement is false. They called for contributors many times, last time in August https://github.com/fafhrd91/actix-web/issues/1019 .. This was public and open message and is not the first time.

Though while people are ready to open issues and complain, sometimes even supply patches and make big noise if they do not pass code review, there were nobody who could join to share responsibility in making decisions about the project.

Andy here, co-founder of Tettra. Just wanted to say thanks for the shoutout. A pleasant surprise to my day as I was reading this thread.

Happy to answer anyone's questions about Tettra and the wiki space in general here.
Yes, but one thing Vultr didn't copy from DO is their disgusting and virulent anti-free speech position. The result is a superior product.

Today, Vultr offers similar service, at a lower price point, without the risk that your entire account will be suspended for thinking unapproved thoughts. This is a pretty good selling point to anyone who isn't an apparatchik of modern political and social dogma.
There's a difference between engaging and putting up with raging users
If your job is being reactive and sending e-mails it can be the center of gravity. This is particularly true for investors, executives and sales people.

However, if your job requires you to "build" whether it's code, slides, designs, etc then proactive work planning is essential and turning emails into tasks to be deferred is essential. I think of these as people who teeter between the maker and managers schedule: http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html

The article is about women in STEM in Academia, not just STEM.

And I don't understand why people absolutely need to have biological children. I think more people should just adopt if they want to raise children.

I also think sexism in the US is the biggest factor for women leaving Academia or not entering STEM. In other countries more than 50% of the researchers are women and 40% of the students studying computer science are women.
I agree, to the point where I wish that we'd just talk about the original article instead of this repost, instead. Maybe the URL could be changed to [0]?

The "boring" was in response to the comment above it, which was discussing if the patch is large enough to merit a statement that they are contributing under the projects license.

The patch was "boring", not substantial to claim copyright.
One of the most important aspects IMO is the attitude they take:

> "While we at Microsoft have worked hard to be 'carbon neutral' since 2012, our recent work has led us to conclude that this is an area where we’re far better served by humility than pride," wrote Smith in the blog. "And we believe this is true not only for ourselves, but for every business and organization on the planet."
Also worth noting that this is absolute number of tellers, not tellers per US resident. Automation is very clearly reducing the demand for tellers on a per-potential-customer basis. For example, if we had seen the ratio remain flat, starting in 1980, we'd have expected a 50% growth in the number of tellers. But in fact it was flat (at least on the original article's graph).

I can't find numbers on what fraction of the population was unbanked in the '80s, but I can only imagine it was higher than it is now. That also is not accounted for in the parable.
This is also on HN's front page.

Interesting juxtaposition.
And the apparent state that, not only can they not get the thing made as proscribed in the amount of time - how do they make it robustly designed with mind for future use?

They're like a freshman finishing their paper the night before - hell no they didn't edit for clarity, much less added depth.
Too Much for One Man: A new life of Charles V
Thanks! Yeah its just an idea I'd like to look into at this point. As I said in my post I grew up natively thinking like a programmer surrounded by a bunch of hackers in university on IRC when I was still in grade school, but I never did any structured programming learning and when I got to college it just didn't feel like a realistic path to a career-long job, as to me coding was familiar enough that it felt anyone could (and would) learn it in the future, and there were only so many jobs to go around. Facebook was built with a handful of people, who would have thought in their wildest dreams a social media website would need more than 40,000 employees? I have no idea how many of them are engineers, but probably way more than I would have expected.
> Of course, it is not reasonable to demand that an already-overworked maintainer-for-free find extra hours to have the pre-PR discussion either. It needs to be exploratory and respect the maintainers' timescales

I absolutely didn't mean to imply that. I also think that a pre-PR discussion can be useful because if the maintainer doesn't have time to say they want a PR that's a decent hint they won't have time to handle the PR.
Why? That ship has sailed long ago. HTTPS is a requirement for browsing the web in 2020, just as HTTP was in 2000.

Most of the browsers that can't do modern HTTPS run on operating systems that shouldn't be on the public internet because of security concerns in any case, so that leaves perhaps a few really fringe browsers. Come to think of it, I can't even name one of them — even text-based browsers like Lynx work with DuckDuckGo (you end up on this Lite version).
And I agree completely. Except when you claim you're a "maintainer." If you do, that is supposed to mean something. And I think it means you're going to maintain the code. That's the only responsibility I am talking about.
I thought the article would be about certifying software, not software developers. That would have been a more interesting topic to me... ;-)
Heh, Firefox doesn't have that problem at all. I don't think I have pulled more than 1 GB on it? But then again I usually only have 10-20 tabs open at the most.
You mostly don't - I had a decent setup for etching, so I just quick-and-dirtied a layout, put down a few extra pads where I suspected I might need some, processed a board and gave it a go.

The one important thing is to not pinch on the pincers - buy a good pair... :)
You sure could. But DDG is a decade old company and its total lifetime searches amount to less than a week's worth of Google searches so it's likely your efforts will be in vain.

Why are children these days ‘allowed’ to ’destructive’? I was using my mother’s NeXT Cube back in the early nineties when I was about eleven or twelve and it’s still in mint condition. It was made very clear to me that allowing me to use it was an enormous privilege and that if I had in any way damaged it there would have been hell to pay and I have absolutely no doubt that my arse would’ve been kicked into tomorrow if I had broken my side of the deal. Teaching kids to take care of stuff is a key point in the escape from disposable consumerism.
When I worked for a company which tracked this religiously, an average junior candidate with at least one certificate listed on his application had a lower score than an average junior candidate. The observation was the same, people frequently sunk time into some cert which taught them some syntax quirks, or were so shallow that the basic concepts behind what they (supposedly) learned were totally foreign to them. Too little practical knowledge for it to matter.
It's routine to make sure potential candidates who won't fall in line don't get their voice heard with equal footing. I would say the majority of the primary candidates in any election are cookie cutter. Trump and Bernie are rare exceptions I haven't really seen in my lifetime until recently.

Exploring and understanding Python through surprising snippets
Even given actual monopolies (I strongly disagree with the current claims) for competition it is a push and pull thing whose specifics vary by situation.

Monopolies have better economies of scale as an intrinsic real advantage but tend to be more hidebound and less innovative as they both don't need it in the moment and from a fear or cannibalization. But not always for innovation - they may also have the resources to devote to R&D that smaller players would lack.

The mechanism of the monopoly also has significance for it determines what needs to be done to maintain it. Although having a "better" source like leveraging a prior runaway success is no guarantee that they won't turn to bad ways to preserve it like regulatory capture with no other purpose served.
Notice how every single line in your comment starts with "I".

You alone decided that maintainers have all these obligations (which I would consider reasonable things to do for the record), but the maintainer of this library doesn't agree, and the license doesn't require it, so you're just setting yourself up for disappointment here.
I don't know if this is the right place to talk about this but what I've always really wanted out of Duck Duck Go is "category" filters or maybe even anonymous user profiles. A problem that I have is that most of my queries make sense within a certain domain.

Example: I wanted to know about Chicken Scheme. During my exploratory phase, I'd sometimes search for "Chicken Lisp" and would get results for "chicken lips" with a very small font suggestion for refining my queries further.

Perhaps, if I was able to select a category (software engineering) it would automatically skew my search results for that preferred domain. Maybe a !cat macro? Google doesn't really have this problem either - and I'm guessing here - because it is either better at guessing intention or because it knows that I'm a software engineer because of my previous searches and then it automatically customizes my search results within a boundary of correctness - i.e, if OhSoHumble searches for chicken thighs then that person probably wants recipes rather than info on a Scheme implementation.

I guess account profiles would somewhat help with this as well - where you can opt into skewing your own results on the regular.

Regardless, I think there is a good middle ground to take between "collect as much data on this individual as possible to customize their results" and "put programming related search results at the top if the individual asks for it".

>...against the cloud provider market becoming even more of an oligopoly.

I'd be interested in the more opaque aspects of all cloud hosting i.e. Unfettered, and or, at least, Invisible government(s) access -- however there is a really dark double-edge on that privacy hope. (specifically, that there is a lot of nefarious dealings on dark web systems which humanity would be better without)

Its almost as though we also need the antithesis to the dark web. Whereby, if we were to consider the contemporary Internet as the 'Gray Web', the ostensibly-perceived-as-criminal 'Dark Web' the host of Nefarious Dealings, and a 'White Web' for things on the transparent, or at-least validated on the up-and-up.

I would propose that ALL sites with content directed at children must be regulated on the 'White Web' (looking at you, YouTube >:-[

Anyway - my overall point is that Cloud has become 'Privacy-out-of-sight-out-of-mind Land'...
Sounds like what the Baltimore Police Department does with Lotus Notes.

Yup, I can confirm. techcrunch.com redirects to guce.techcrunch.com, which redirects to guce.advertisting.com, which then redirects back to techcrunch.com. This only happens on the first page load (presumably due to cookies being set for the guce.techcrunch.com domain).

The redirects are really fast, seems like the only reason @esaym noticed is that they are blocking advertising.com via their hosts file which prevents the final redirect back to techcrunch.com.

Welcome to surveillance capitalism...
You greatly overestimate the size of the solar system.
Our solar system is a mere ~20 light hours in radius. We even have two man made objects out of the solar system (Voyager 1 and 2).
In a century, our signals already made it past ~15 thousands star systems.

So now imagine a civilization similar to us but slightly older, not only would this civilization's signals have reached all parts of our galaxy, but those signals would likely be much stronger than we have produced in the last 100 years.
It would also be possible for a civilization a few hundred millions years older than us to send probes to every star of the galaxy by now.
In the past, the companies formed from a broken up monopoly are competitors. The company isn't broken up just along business lines.
Google and Facebook are some of the biggest lobbyists in Washington. I think you'll find that very little will change with respect to this.
If you are willing to spend a decade marketing privacy features and bashing the establishment, yes. They are not Google-style "tech disrupters". One could say their success is as much a product of Edward Snowden's revelations and the subsequent societal shift towards tracking-as-a-liability as much as actual technology. Don't get me wrong, their UI gimmicks like !g are nothing to be scoffed at. UI has value, just ask Robinhood and Stripe. But DuckDuckGo is certainly not "hard tech".
This is a poor comment. You clearly don't understand how unsafe is to be used. No code (of significant size) that you run will be bug free ever. So you might as well start from that assumption and realize you are trying to minimize the amount of unsafe code and bugs; you will never remove all of them no matter what the language.
Thanks, I stand corrected. Apologies for the mistake.
I think I understand what you are getting at. Though there may be disagreement on exactly where the lines should be drawn, I think it’s important to underscore the value of patience on the part of everyone in the conversation.
The rust community has a position on these things, but perhaps it isn’t as well-documented or refined as it could be.

No doubt, having to contend with this issue is frustrating for all parties. I think it’s important however to help people feel heard and respected even if we don’t agree with them. One of the burdens as a pillar of the community is the necessity to rise above that frustration (articulating it in an emotionally intelligent manner when necessary) – to focus on educating, and hearing constructive criticism.

That said, candidly it’s not helpful to talk about using snark as a means of being heard. It’s like saying “I’ll put down my weapons after you put down yours”

Let’s not bury the lede here: people are coming to Rust because they see, and are excited by its potential. They are passionate about making the language better. I think we should hear them, search for patience, and disagree without being disagreeable. We will go a LOT further together through collaboration than we can through divisive rhetoric.
What? No headphones? I wouldn't want to be working in such a place. I almost can't code at all without headphones on...
Interesting. I haven't followed as closely since left the real estate business but thought he was always pretty measured. And data driven. See

For an example.
Could you explain why you think this?

Programming is 75-90% repetition of patterns. The remaining 10-15% are the difference between a simple translation of usual human language into a foreign language vs. developing algorithms and/or logic to solve a problem.

If we can get rid of the non-algorithm, non-logic part we'd be better off, and this is what i read into this sentence.
IE had way more market share than Google-controlled browsers; MS let the web stagnate and trapped users in their worst of breed browser. I don't really see that many similarities. Google is currently in a leading position because they're most dependent on the web to succeed (MS and Apple never cared much about it), and thus have poured the most resources into it. But I don't see a lot of cases of that dominant position harming the end user.
Its almost like they are biologically and mentally hard-wired to have children! How dares nature to create a unequal duality with specialized roles.
I'd echo what others are saying here: learn to live cheap, cultivate your professional network, learn to be a team player.

Amplifying: Don't have kids unless you really want them--they're very expensive. Don't get married unless you really want to--being (and then likely not being) married is very expensive. Avoid those and a drug habit, and you don't need a lot of money.

I didn't realize how important networking is when I was young. It really is "who you know and not what you know". And to the degree that it's the latter, it's how well you interview, not what you know that actually matters. It's rarely possible to evaluate someone's skills or how they'll do in a company until you've had them on-board for a year or two.

I was much more idealistic when I was young, and often stood on principal. That was a mistake. If management wants to drive their train over a cliff, offer to sell popcorn. Or write a crash analysis tool that will look good on your resume. But smile the whole time, and keep your resume polished. You're playing for your team, not your employer's.

One of the proxies had to win out, right? We're only talking about DuckDuckGo and not BearBearClaw because they survived. I don't think they're doing anything particularly special. They're also a much older company with a lot smaller search volume than people realize.
That is true and that is where the analogy ends.

I originally invented the analogy to make some friends of mine who had a very strong market oriented mindset, understand open source. This was many years ago, when the likes of Microsoft painted open source in the light of anarcho hippie communism. I needed to explain to them that open source is closer to their thinking than some Fortune 500 behemoth that is capitalism on the outside but basically socialism inside.
>Export is really the weakest area of OneNote

I'll give you two guesses as to why that is.
I don't know enough about the specifics of this situation. My point is, I don't agree with the idea that volunteers inherently owe nothing.

And to focus on a different part of the analogy for a moment—if somebody looks more closely at what I'm teaching students, and sees that I'm actually showing them how to use flamethrowers, yeah, they have a right to be upset. Again, it doesn't matter that I'm a volunteer, they've placed a significant degree of trust in me.

People should still audit their dependencies, just like people should observe my teaching. But it's also fair for them to have expectations.

A popular vote "disenfranchises" any voting bloc that stands in opposition to a majority. Do you believe this strategy of ameliorating tyranny-of-the-majority scenarios by weighting votes generalizes to demographics other than place of residence? Can we give extra votes to all disadvantaged populations, or is there something unique about small-state folks?
Surprisingly large amount of soviet era consumer electronics are built quite similarly and use what in essence are military/space grade parts (and meticulously made cable looms). I assume that this is simply caused by using whatever was available in large enough quantity in combination with slightly different engineering culture (cable looms!).
> I think more people should just adopt if they want to raise children.

As someone who has adopted 3 children, I assure you that the biological route is way easier and cheaper. It's not like rescuing a dog from the pound...
I was responding to the main premise of your comment, that "the fact that women shoulder the primary economic burden of raising children is structural sexism." This implies discrimination due to external forces that make men and women behave differently.
> If someone finds this kind of thing "boring", is Rust really for them?

Are you kidding? Rust is a tool, not an ideology. You don't have to share in the beliefs of the tools designers to use a tool...
"Owe" is a very strong word and can quickly get people into trouble once you start trying to break down human interactions into transactions where certain things are owed. Part of this is because to owe something is to indicate some level of force to cause a person to comply. It touches on topics of forcing a person against their will. I'm not saying that it is wrong, but that it makes people extremely uncomfortable and can even lead to people attacking your character for trying to do such a breakdown.

I think what we are running into here is a matter where different groups have different expectations of what is owed and why it is owed, but due to the difficulty of talking about what is owed to others makes it hard for us to verbalize or sometimes even concretely conceptualize what we are talking about. There are also different extents one can owe something (legal being the most extreme, as you will be forced to by the courts with possible violence if you don't).

If a one of the parents tried to get a court to order you to teach the class on penalty of contempt of course, would you find that reasonable? This sounds quite extreme, but there are plenty of cases of owing someone something that the court does enforce in a similar manner. My guess is that you would find such an reaction unreasonable to an outrageous degree, but would find far less extreme enforcement measures (such as being disappointed) as being reasonable. I would even go a bit off topic and say that this level of being owed is proportional to the payment you receive. As a volunteer you likely get no money, but are still 'paid' in social recognition.

So you can owe something on the level of being disappointed, but not on the level of court order. So what level does a project maintainer owe others and why. And what do those others owe them in return?
