There is no one size fits all answer to this and following the GitHub you linked would be actively harmful in my opinion. The specifics of your situation matter greatly.
Cool, from the self web page -- "The project continued at Sun Microsystems Laboratories until 1995, where it benefited from the efforts of Randall B. Smith, Mario Wolczko, John Maloney, and Lars Bak."

Java was released in March of 1995, about 1/3 of the original Java group left after the 1.0 release (not in a small part because of Sun's attitude). I made the mistake when I went to work at Google of disparaging Self (which Urs Hoezle had worked on and was my boss's boss, oops!) But much of the original Java team had ended up there so it was kind of a fun to catch up.

So when you visited Craig at Stanford did you get along with him?
I stopped reading at the end of the article. Hope this helps.
The organization's Code of Conduct was so broad-reaching, thorough, and explicit that it doesn't appear to have left any leeway for common sense.

Did we read the same article?

The article says that he was pointed at two contradictory codes of conduct, and violated for violating unstated standards from an implicit code of conduct that wasn't revealed to him.

That's making shit up to be able to say you did something. It is exactly the opposite of rigidly following a code of conduct.

And, as the article points out, they managed to fail to follow their own official code of conduct in the process.
Ember has somewhat solved that problem though.

You have the concept of data adapters which would be clients for your API (you can make a custom one if extending the existing ones isn't an option) and the rest of the application just interacts with the equivalent of database models without ever having to worry about fetching the data. You could swap the data adapter without having to change the rest of the code.

We seem to have lost this with the move to React though, and even the hodgepodge of libraries doesn't provide a comparable replacement.
Other elements have higher specific gravity than gold (iridium, osmium, maybe tungsten and Platinum, id have to check the last two. )
It, seemingly, isn't inevitable - I can count on one, _maybe_ two hands the number of unfair incidents I've heard since I started hearing people trumpeting the dark side view that 100% absolutely all power is put into service of evil, always.
Google Discontinues Nest Secure
Though, of course, the church door bit almost surely never happened.
Was won due to the role of one man? No. Effective, perhaps, but your claim is far over the top of the reality.
I don’t read those extracts as implying the same result as you do. The result type (promoted type in the C++ case) will still be unsigned, yet will be in most cases (especially small ones) full of 1s where there were zeros, and won’t compute the expected modulus. Draw out the bit patterns of 1’s vs 2’s complement for (say) n=5 and n=65535 and see if I have it wrong.
I think utility is surely a significant factor in motivating humans to learn some topics. If you're retired, you're unlikely to take much interest in mastering Jira or getting CPA certification or a six sigma belt — skills you'll never use. Likewise, if future prospects for using a skill seem more limited with age, you're very likely to be less inclined to pursue means to such ends.

Or perhaps mice just relish sugar water less as their taste buds fade with age.
Thanks that is insightful
I had a client who started a non-profit community center looking for a such solution like yours. They endup using PandaDoc. I'm assuming most new business would start with $49 and downgrade to $8.

I think it an interesting idea. How many active users do you have?

As far as I know, indulgences never got you out of hell. They were to shorten your time in purgatory.
Brinks is owned by ADT.

We said no to an ADT system since it was expensive and required two year contract and favored Nest secure instead, so this is disappointing.

It seems like Ring is in it to win it unlike Nest for some reason.
Most modern legal systems give people the right to confront their accusers for good reason: Giving people the power to accuse others without any possibility of consequences will ultimately be abused.

I understand the desire to protect specifically vulnerable accusers in unique situations, but we should be catering to those situations on a case-by-case basis.

In this case, isolating the accusers from the accused didn’t help anyone. The accusers weren’t even the direct victims of this imagined offense. They were simply using the CoC machinery to bring something negative upon someone else while knowing they would never suffer any negatives for what they did.
This is a 3 years old locked thread on Reddit. Why don’t you submit an “Ask HN”? As a survey technique, though, it would be dodgy. People “bored with the Internet” wouldn’t be on the Internet.

TIL: new word: "consumption-based."
That's probably part of the reason the branding of the hand worked reasonably well in practice in Britain.

If you plead the 'benefit of the clergy', you were branded, so you didn't do it again.
> According to the 1% rule, about 1% of Internet users are responsible for creating content [...]

I wonder how true this is now? Even if we don't count social media as "content" (and some of it certainly is) most web content is participatory in some way and I'd wager a decent percentage of web users (if not internet users) are now contributing.
History proves that anything less than universal suffrage, even if ostensibly for the "right reasons" will be abused.

On the grander scheme, any avenue for political groups to obtain or retain power will be abused. This is why we don't require licenses for people to have children, because the system will be abused in order to ensure a politically desirable future generation.

I absolutely agree that most people are stupid and should not vote (to put it bluntly), but the alternative is much worse.
well, whenever I did rails, that was pretty standard. Laravel's baked in auth, is probably why it's so much better than rails, that and queues, telescope, etc... all the nice to haves that come standard in laravel that are extra in rails apps.

At some point all of it calmed down, the war ended and people moved on.

With social media, there are no signs of stopping, it’s an endless stream of addictive outrage and one sided opinion.

That in my view is what’s new and worse about it and it’s only likely to get more integrated with us.

Imagine when you have a brain implant like Elon and Co are working on ? You won’t even have the luxury to put your phone in your pocket.
Boston/Route 128 had MIT and Harvard and in the 1980s Stanford was nowhere near in prowess.
I think it's worth noting that Clearwire and Google did a pretty darn awful way of handling email accounts: Clearwire used basically Google Apps (now Google Workplace) for all of their customer's accounts. It meant that yeah, all their customers got their @clear.com addresses with a Gmail client instead of something likely far worse.

...But when Clearwire started to go downhill, they just... shut it off. There was no way to migrate over to a regular Gmail account, Google obviously had no bespoke method for people to keep using their @clear.com addresses. People just straight up lost their online identity. I had a customer at the time who literally just didn't understand why she couldn't log into her email anymore, she hadn't understood the notices Clearwire sent out.

In comparison, people with aol.com and earthlink.net accounts are still out there. Heck, peoplepc.com email is still out there! I'd argue if you're going to hand out consumer email addresses, you ought to have a plan to ensure they effectively never lose their email addresses. I am a little vexed that Google even let them do what they did, and neither Clear nor Google had a real migration plan when they ended it.

"...starting April 15, 2015, Clearwire will no longer support your CLEAR Email/Clearwire Email services. After that date you will no longer be able to send or receive emails, nor will you have access to any stored emails. This service deactivation affects all CLEAR Email/Clearwire Email accounts. Other applications that come with your Clear Email/Clearwire Email are also impacted and will no longer be available including Google Talk/Hangouts, Google Drive and Google Calendar..."
>But I thought part of what made us American was our rich, diversity of opinions and our grit to withstand challenge. We're supposed to work together and see past the differences.

Surely though, you recognize that this statement (and most of the rest of your comment) is perhaps a little ironic?

Anecdotally, my karma here on HN used to be at least double of what it is now. But at some point there was a change in people’s moods, and now it has been slowly eroding over time. I suspect someday it will be zero, or worse.

My writing style and sharp criticisms of damn near everything hasn’t changed much, except perhaps knowing I’m going to be downvoted makes my wording more bitter. I suspect it is the HN crowd which has changed, and has an axe to grind. I will not be allowed to hold certain opinions anymore without being punished.
It may sound a bit barbaric, but the family of the victim might be better off with a chunk of money than with the knowledge that the perpetrator is serving time.

(However, if you look at the incentives and deterrence, inflicting inefficient punishment like sending someone to prison for a long time, might still make sense.)

I hear this so often, so as an exclusively js/ts dev I have to ask... what about this is “done poorly”?

```

try {

return await fetch(url);

} catch (e) {

handleError(e)

}

```

Because that (metaphorically speaking) is 90% of what I write. Throw in the occasional closure, `map()` or `reduce()`

My day to day headaches are never from TS, and always from unpredictable DOM api/layout/style behavior.

I guess I just don’t have any frame of reference for how “nice” a language can be. Is it just that JS has so many “bad parts” and footguns that I’ve gotten good at ignoring?
Why are you trying to catch them being hypocritical? A hypothetical situation where multiple talks violated the CoC but attendants only reported one talk and so the conference only took action against one speaker doesn't seem like a huge problem. Like, sure, maybe they should have CoC cops sit through each gathering compromising material just so that it's perfectly fair, but I don't think that's the best use of conf organizers' time.
The UK has been thinking about tidal power in a "Severn Barrage" on the Severn river near Bristol since 1849:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severn_Barrage

No progress in recent years though due to environmental concerns, although there is always Salter's Ducks (which is just harnessing plain wave action, not tidal):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salter%27s_duck

Sadly, seems like it also suffers from a similar lack of progress.
I took a gamble selecting Flutter overreact for an outsourced app. I basically didn’t know anything about either, but it landed on flutter because at sea developers that looked a lot more familiar to us.

Ask HN: Do you think you're smarter than your boss?
In the land(SV) of too many chefs and player-coaches, I've seen the watering down of titles. VPs with a team of 1, directors of none.

When your boss is a VP with 5 people, including yourself, under them do you covet that role? Do you see something different for yourself?
I'd be curious which languages you feel are closing the gap, and which gaps are getting closer by them.

For example, I do a bit of Swift in addition to Python, and sometimes I've heard people try to compare the two. But I vastly prefer Python to Swift when I can afford to.
Do you mean busting out as in a violent prison break, or having the right connections and bribes and intimidation behind the scenes?

This isn't a reason to refrain from (or worse, prohibit) commonly acceptable and valuable behavior just because a certain minority's state of mind might not be receptive to it (either through actual past trauma or just malicious intent to instigate drama).
Here's a router for television signals. It's got 100 different video sources, 80 different destinations, and "layers" (you can route audio differently from video, though you usually route them together).

You have 6 or so different sources of control (different panel systems, automation systems that use serial interfaces, other automation that uses Ethernet). Each of those is a different thread.

All those different sources of control need to see the same image of what's connected to what. So when one thread makes a change, it has to change for all the threads.

You could think about separating that state into parts, but does that really gain you anything? If you've got 80 variables that behave identically instead of one 80-element array, are you really ahead?

No, it's native. At least on Mac.

Do you blame the dev? Do you blame the HR system that hired them? How about the manager that pushed them too much? What about his manager? Is it the VP of IT's fault, even if he didn't know the technical specifics? Nothing is any one person's fault. Blame is a stupid waste of time.
A case of maintainability? Most games (although its changing these days with loot boxes, and micro-transactions) don't really change ultimately in large ways after the initial development.

A website, often these days, is an ever evolving beast forever changing and adding features to it is (apparently) imperative to ensure that the gravy train keeps flowing. Its one of the reasons why I think there's an increased focus on developer productivity in web frameworks, libraries, and tooling rather than a focus on delivering a better solution.

> The term is pointless. What happened in this case sounds bad, at a glance. Let's not generalize it to other things. It'll get nowhere. Whether or not one believes something is a part of cancel culture has no bearing on whether a particular idea to squash something is good or not.

Yeah, that's how I feel. Arguing or getting outraged about ill-defined things that can't be attributed to specific people doesn't seem productive because there's no way to resolve it or learn anything.

Some people exist that get offended by some things other people aren't offended by. So what?

It's just noise.
At some point we will sit down and recognize that calling programmers "engineers" was a mistake. True engineers make guarantees within clearly specified limits and take on liability for those guarantees. Modern technology companies claim many things while owning little, if any, responsibility.
Some relevant statements from the author on this topic:

> Code of Conducts can be a useful tool, when thoughtfully created and thoughtfully enforced, to address sexism, racism, and harassment, all of which have been problems at tech conferences. Given the diversity issues in the tech industry, it is important that we continue the work of making conferences more inclusive, particularly to those from marginalized backgrounds

> In particular, I was concerned that if only partial information became available, the anti-CoC crowd might jump on this as an example of problems with codes of conduct more generally, or might point at this as part of “cancel culture” (a concept I vehemently disagree with, since what is referred to as “cancellation” is often just “facing consequences”)

You wouldn't advocate scrapping the entire criminal justice system, just because one innocent person was convicted. A little more nuance is useful here as well.

Every community has its set of guidelines, either explicit of implicit, intended to foster the community's purpose. If I go to my neighbor's party and behave like a jerk, and insult the other guests, there's a very good chance that I won't be invited back. If I start posting "dank memes" continuously on HN, I'm eventually going to find myself banned. As the author himself said, what is referred to as “cancellation” is often just “facing consequences”.

In this case, I have no idea why the committee came down hard on the author. I saw the relevant portions of his talk, and didn't hear anything rude or objectionable. I think the committee got it wrong in this instance, but that doesn't mean everyone in future should be allowed to be a jerk, and not face any consequences.
By the ACA law health insurance companies have to pay out at least 80% of premiums on claims. The cost of running the company and any profit has to come out of the other 20%. 5% of billions of dollars is huge in absolute figures but as a percentage falls in line with other industries.
Intel's latest top IPC CPU is Ice/Tiger Lake, not Skylake derivatives. So maybe Zen3 is the catch up to Intel.
Even the "CoC experts" in the post say that trying to codify acceptable behavior is the wrong way to do it. You just end up with overly broad rules like "be nice" because there is no way to write a CoC that covers what is acceptable behavior of every person in attendance.
Not even in the worst straw-person SJW interpretation of CoCs would this be the intended outcome.

Why do you say that? I absolutely think this is intended by some of the people involved.

Any political movement that is trying to gain power by creating taboos needs high profile examples to scare people into following their agenda. Incidents like these therefore become something to brag about.

It is a basic power play. No different than having a new leader in an organization singling out someone trusted by the previous leadership to target. Which forces the rest of the organization to choose sides, and thereby cements the power of the new leader.
Anyone running these systems probably have hardware in place and don’t plan on changing said hardware. The reason these systems/OS are in place is because of, “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it”. Probably not jumping to update drivers.
I mean that sounds simple and all.. But historically that hasn't worked well for us long term.
This is your friendly reminder to avoid the productivity hacking tarpit. It feels productive to think about productivity but oftentimes you're confusing movement for progress. I'll give two specific pieces of advice for people who are thinking about switching from methodology / app A to methodology / app B.

1. You might find something that B does that is just so difficult to accomplish in A, so you want to switch. But before you do, you should spend a week living with the difficult path to do that thing in A. You will likely find that learning the muscle memory to do that thing in A was actually the difficult part, and once you've overcome that hurdle it isn't difficult any more.

2. You might switch to B and feel that "now, everything is so organized!" However, it's very likely that you could have "switched" from A to A and you'd feel the same way. What I mean by this is that by switching, you've forced yourself to revisit all of your notes. If you forced yourself to revisit your notes without switching, you'd see the same effect.

Moving the entire logic board from one phone to another is not the same thing as just replacing one of the cameras. They may do some cross camera calibration. So one camera is used to help the other camera. So if you replace the whole set and that data was stored on the flash storage, then it’s probably totally wrong now. 2 or 3 cameras have the wrong calibration.

If Apple does the service they probably have an operation to download the cal data and transfer it. Or for a new module they have cal data that they store into the phone. I totally agree with the right to repair but it’s possible in this case it’s a bit more complicated.

Another thing another commenter mentioned that if the images store some magic bits that water mark your image which could be matched to your phone that’d be super crappy and Apple should say that otherwise it would damage their image they are trying to push as caring about privacy..
