As the sibling points out babel/webpack are like compilers of JavaScript world so reducing compile times have a huge impact on developer experience.

I am just wondering where does the complexity of juggling various ES* standards go? Also, the webpack plugins and loads of config examples might require this project to support additional complexity. Will the compiled/typed nature of Golang make it difficult to correctly maintain parity with babel/webpack?

I am really looking forward to learning golang this year. I am almost done ~~suffering~~ learning JavaScript/React + CSS3/media-queries this winter.
There’s nothing in GPL that prevents or prohibits closing later versions. This is also true for the CDDL. The reason Oracle was able to close Solaris after it had been open is that Sun had required a contributor license agreement that assigned the copyright for your code to Sun before they would accept your changes. This would work even for the GPL.

The CLA is actually what initially prompted the illumos fork even before Oracle closed the gate.

Joyent initially had a CLA on Node.js for business reasons that (as far as I know) everyone in engineering disagreed with. When we were finally able to make Triton (née SmartDataCenter) open source we also eliminated the CLA for node.

We now have contributions from many people under the MPLv2 in Triton, and we are no longer the exclusive copyright holder which means that it is pretty much impossible\* for Samsung to close it again.

* We would have to either rip out all those commits or get every contributor to either relicense or assign copyright to Joyent.
Sure. A very common pattern among my friends was that, when they had or were planning to have kids, they moved out of Manhattan to Greenwich or whatever. (This was a while back so the outer boroughs were probably relatively less interesting relative to the commuter rail destinations.)

But, at least in my bubble, when people are talking about the high CoL of NYC, they're mostly talking about living in the core.

The Bay Area is a bit unusual in that compared to a number of other expensive cities, it's hard to really commute out of the expense unless you have a really long commute. The East Bay comes closest I guess. By comparison, I live in the Boston area but you can get out to many suburban or even relatively rural towns within an hour. (Historically that's where almost all the computer industry jobs were anyway although that has changed somewhat.)
What would you call it? Your analogy fails on several levels — is there a more direct counter argument you can make?

See, a show on that would actually be fascinating.

Unlike the show the article describes, which looks rather like a standard political hate show like everything else has become.

We are, though, seeing the dietary divergence you describe. More and more food items are either "liberal food" or "conservative food" -- and not always just in the vegan=blue/meat=red dimension anymore.
If you're deciding between two similar candidates, the choice is pretty arbitrary anyway. As a white man, I've never been discouraged from pursuing my career in tech. A woman who is similarly qualified than I am probably overcame more and worked harder to get there than I did, so it's a reasonable tie breaker even if you don't value diversity for its own sake.

Even with these tie breakers, most large tech companies have about 10% women in engineering, so this discrimination isn't affecting the men that much. Are the companies you're thinking of different in this regard?
Sqlarfs: Use sqlite as fuse back end

Then why align with business interests against the interests of individual citizens? You know that most voters are not high paid tech workers frustrated by the lack of luxury mix used lofts. I’m sure with enough pr money from developers you can trick some poor folks into thinking a development boom will help them, but you are betting on ignorance. The economics are very clear; building in the Bay Area cannot lower prices. Build where it makes sense, outside the Bay Area, at a rate that’s optimal for people and the environment. Plenty of room in Livermore for high density, green, lower cost development. If we added a million people to north beach, it wouldn’t be north beach anymore. Is that the goal?

> High risk with the highest reward

I don’t understand people who think this way. Let’s imagine there is definitely an alien and we find it. Assume it follows a similar tech trajectory as humans.

If we find it in the millions of years of pre-civilization we got nothing. Probably don’t even notice it. If we get it the thousands of years before communication tech, we also get squat. If we get it in the couple hundred years between comm tech and the present, we maybe can do something? If we go beyond the present either they have killed themselves, or they’re inconceivably more advanced than us and the idea that we found them before they found us is kind of laughable. The probability that we’re the first civilization to have “found” them is laughable.

By all means, space and communication tech is interesting. Go make it. If finding aliens would have some philosophical value to you, go look for them. But to think that they’re likely to change society seems weird.
I think ESbuild is more comparable with Pax [1] (or Pax + SWC) in the alternatives written in Rust. ESbuild mostly focuses on bundling for now, and does little in terms of source code transformation compared to SWC.

I don’t disagree with your stance, but my argument is against the claim that they’re developing features to appeal to mainstream users. No backups is not a mainstream feature.

BSDs have opinionated and generally well maintained ports collections and kernel features.

Without going too far in to the politics of GNU/Linux, it's a bit messy. All the distros are different from each other, plus they're changing so rapidly that a book about one version is much less useful for managing another (think Ubuntu 14 -> 16, or Ubuntu 16 -> 18).

Also, while GNU/Linux is generally portable, many of the things you learn about Ubuntu will be different on what you'd run on a Raspberry Pi, or an UltraSPARC, or on a PowerPC.

NetBSD is the same OS on all the hardware it supports, so the system consistently does what it does regardless of where it's run. If you want to develop on a desktop and deploy on a Pi, for example, you'll have a much easier time with NetBSD :)
Hmm, doesn't HLS have built-in DRM ?
More features mean a more complex system, which takes more effort to maintain and adapt than a simpler system. So if you're not measuring and constantly reevaluating the value of your features you can wind up with parts of your product that cost the company far more than they are worth.
That makes a lot of sense. I bet a lot of these "scientific" machines ended up primarily being used for software development...

Well. Given the smaller user base the *BDSs are good candidates for a very low footprint secure OS installation. In our org we use an openbsd instance to run our low traffic but extremely secure master database. The system really spartan and has a very low footprint. It is sufficiently different from Linux that the casual automated attack wont work. Things like NetBSD are a useful starting point to getting an OS up and running on a new architecture. This happens quite frequently in research settings.

Funny how its 'blantant' when men are at a disadvantage. Where was this comment the other 99% of the places, when women and minorities are nearly non-existant? Not worth mentioning?

I know its an idealistic comment, that the world should be fair in every place. But because these comments come out only when men are not in their usual favored position, I cannot help but see them as a kind of 'institutional bias' for men.
> The entire ASP.Net Core and Entity Framework architecture was changed and is not compatible.

There's been a lot of confusion, due in no small part to Microsoft's branding and communication, but what you said is not at all accurate if not intentionally misleading.

What's been know as .NET for the last 20 years is now called ".NET Framework", this is not unlike how OS X is now called MacOS retroactively. ".NET Core" is an entirely new framework that just happened to be compatible with ".NET Framework" but as time goes on the two have diverged.

> Not to mention all of the legacy third party .Net Framework only third party packages that don’t work.

".NET Framework" and ".NET Core" are similar to Cocoa and Cocoa Touch in the sense that you can write code that will compile under both AND you can write code for either that will be incompatible with the other. In fact I maintain a half dozen packages that are compatible with both.

> Microsoft also completely abandoned Windows CE/Compact Framework while there were plenty of companies that had deployed thousands of $1200-$2000 ruggedized devices for field services work.

Microsoft didn't "abandoned" Windows CE, it stopped development for it 6 years ago as it was largely dead and Microsoft offers many pathways off of Windows CE. The CF actually runs on platforms other than CE intentionally such that any apps written for the CF will just work elsewhere. AND they still support CE and CF to this day, they just don't maintain or develop new versions of them.
Become a Consultant at Red Hat!

Wonderful, wonderful place to be a "jack of all trades," while also allowing you the opportunity to carve out a niche if you find you do become passionate about just one thing.

In addition to working in DevOps roles, there are a range of consulting opportunities that are diverse, which adds another layer of keeping things interesting. You can do work with small companies, large companies, government, schools, incubators. And you don't have to stay put. It's encouraged at Red Hat that you follow your passion. Allowing someone like you, to chase whatever happens to tickle your fancy at a given moment.

This is NOT a common occurrence. Even if it was, white male American isn’t a protected category, so that would very unlikely be characterized as “discrimination”. AND we’d have “several large companies” with actual representation of minorities and women. There is none.

The reality is these groups remain underrepresented, and others even more so (latinos in the Bay Area are a second class “minority”, for instance).
Not just violating company policy; violating federal law.

There is little congruence between C-level and workers at a large company. It doesn't take many levels of separation for that to occur.

In this case, the discrepancy lies between people at the top saying that they value diversity and inclusion, then people who doing the hiring acting on that message based on their interpretation of it.

Companies do a LOT of things that are sketchy at best and overtly illegal at worst. The amount of time since the last public fiasco is generally a good indicator of how fast and loose they play (even more for companies which have never had a negative public incident).
It's cool to wake up in the morning and see my project on HN! For the record, I'm not trying to compete with the entire JavaScript ecosystem and create an extremely flexible build system that can build anything.

I'm trying to create a build tool that a) works well for a given sweet spot of use cases (bundling JavaScript, TypeScript, and maybe CSS) and b) resets the expectations of the community for what it means for a JavaScript build tool to be fast. Our current tools are way to slow in my opinion. Let's build faster tools!
To a certain degree, and in my experience, all companies have this problem. Sometimes it’s at a team scale but for others it’s at an organization scale.
Thanks for educating me about BFS.

I am major in computer science, and published paper in top conference. Tree traversal is trivial for me. So I guess I have decent CS background and knowledge?

Writing bug free and perfect code is not equal to simply solve the problem. If you have prepared coding interviews (especially for new grad and internship), you should understand it is less about knowledge but more about practicing and memorization for that specific purpose. The time spent on it is almost a waste in the future.

If the interview is knowledge based or problem solving oriented, I am all for it. Sadly, it is not today in many places. And that is exactly why website like Leetcode exists.
> AutoFlip’s configuration graph provides settings for either best-effort or required reframing. If it becomes infeasible to cover all the required regions (for example, when they are too spread out on the frame), the pipeline will automatically switch to a less aggressive strategy by applying a letterbox effect, padding the image to fill the frame.

Looks like that was particularly demoing the "best effort" mode. If you see the demo near that paragraph, it highlights the possibility of having certain faces cut-off unless you ask for all faces to be required.

The homes on Monte Rey are even more expensive but it's beside the point. There is plenty of inexpensive housing in Cali and the US to accommodate most needs.

> That is to say that a white man will be openly discarded in favor of a minority/woman with a similar background when applying for the same job.

You just described affirmative action there. Your previous sentence doesn’t follow from this though:

> The performance required from a white man in an interview for the same job is higher.

This is true if and only if there are other applicants who are not white or male. Imagine that two white dudes with similar qualifications apply for the same job. How do you decide which one gets hired? The answer is often something like “A is a better cultural fit” or “B has a more likable personality” or, though this one won’t be spoken aloud, “C is more physically attractive.” And that’s that, the only person who minds in this case is the one passed over.

The problem is that “cultural fit” and “personality” and “attractiveness” are judgments that we tend to apply differently to people who don’t look like ourselves. There’s a lot more baggage around race and sex in America that influences these decisions, and the result has been the systemic disenfranchisement of women and people of color, especially black people. Affirmative action policies—preferring to hire from historically disadvantaged groups when all else is equal—are intended to counteract that tendency.

That’s what these companies are doing. People disagree on whether or not it’s a good idea. I personally think it is, until the industry (or perhaps the workforce as a whole) gets a lot closer to matching the demographics of the population.

Most of the points in this article are relative, for instance what does it really mean to have no care for technical debt drawdown? How much care is not enough?

There are some companies out there that have zero focus on customer feedback, and since there's only one zero, that indictment is not relative to people's expectations.

Peer nodes on a local network can see all messages, even those not addressed to them, since the common model is broadcasting packets and selectively processing them on each client and ignoring packets intended for others (in promiscuous mode, one can capture packets in the local network from all devices, but those packets may or may not contain encrypted data). I’m not sure about modifying the read packets and sending them across though — that would require a more sophisticated attack on the gateway or router and the sending device, in my understanding, which means it’s no longer a peer but an interceptor sitting in between.

I think it's important to understand that you're asking candidates to burn "social capital" by arranging those introductions. I've worked for pretty high end people (successful founders, ceos...). I'm not going to call in any favors from them for a job interview. Most senior people feel the same way. Don't ask your candidates to expend their own personal or social capital.

There are a couple reasons I've seen why you'd do that. I'm sure there are others I haven't seen.

* Sometimes companies have declared focus areas, and it's advantageous to be working in those areas. If the CEO says Project Foobar is going to be the next big thing, you want your team to be touching Project Foobar even if you have nothing valuable to contribute.

* Some kinds of projects are costly to push back on. If someone comes to you and says "this is a security feature, I'm going to build it to increase security", you have to demonstrate that the system is secure without it and not just tell them no.

* In some environments, people are measured by their ability to produce lots of features. This makes it embarrassing and politically damaging to not do a feature you proposed. So once it's publicly known that you have a feature, it's too late to think about whether it's useful, you have to just buckle down and do it.
