I had an appliance out of warranty in need of repair. The manufacturer
wouldn't help but recommended a freelancer. The freelancer was taking
weeks to get around to it, but getting a friend with a twitter account
to tweet about it lit a fire under his tail, possibly due to pressure
from the manufacturer. On another occasion I was trying out a cloud
service offering a small amount of free usage in exchange for a tweet,
so I signed up for a twitter account to tweet about it. I also tweeted
that Donald Trump should appoint Judge Judy to the supreme court, but
that tweet was ineffective.
I am the worst case of insensitive behavior, and I will admit that when I read a female resume with those words I think "oh man, she is going to come in a pantsuit and try to make me feel like I am not doing to dominate her". Which, I wouldn't, but the prospect of a conflict is enough for me to archive the email.
Yes. The initial PR was a bit misguided IMHO, and left a big "huh?".

The futureofcoding interviews were much better, what they are doing is really interesting, though I am unconvinced that all the stuff they're doing is actually required to achieve their goals.

For example, they claim that a structured editor is required, but if per-method granularity is good enough, then a normal method browser would work just as well. As far as I can tell.

Wow this looks quite serious. I hope that github will at least provide a way to turn these commands off entirely.

I hope they also fix the stupid authwalling of the execution logs that happens for public repos. The code is public, but the logs need an account? There is barely any security benefit in doing this for public repos, but it does make it harder for me to check PRs that I make to open source projects while not being logged in (e.g. from my phone).
Its use can be justified elsewhere, but it should always be understood that manual memory management is always going to be more difficult.

The problem I see, and the reason I sometimes reach for rust when I don't really require manual memory management, is that nothing else is really better for strongly-typed statically-compiled self-contained executables.

Go: it's got the convenience and packaging and ecosystem, but an absolute shit type system.

F#: carries around the baggage of the CLR, and the best tooling is Windows-exclusive. Type system is good but not as good as others.

Scala: absolutely amazing type system, but lots of unneeded stuff too. JVM packaging is a huge pain, and pretty heavy weight. Native compilation options are few and have slow executables in comparison.

OCaml: tiny ecosystem, multicore is always one year away, some weird ergonomic choices.

Haskell: lazy, IO has terrible ergonomics, and the community consists of pie-in-the-sky type theorists.

I would kill for a Dotty-like (Scala 3) native programming language that could omit all of the bullshit that was required to fit into the JVM and work with java libraries.
I worked on some Scala codebases, which has this problem. It even lets you end up with Some(null). I call it the two billion dollar mistake.
Lobbying is a bit different. Like most folks, the idea of 'lobbying' strikes me as wasteful/corrupt.

Are people aware what everyday lobbying is in it's most basic form? It's companies engaging their elected representatives on policy issues relevant to them.

So when the Obamacare bill was being written, the AMA (representing physicians) lobbied Congress to make sure their views were heard. Completely legitimate. Another example might be a crime bill where the ACLU lobbies Congress. Or the EFF lobbies Congress.

And the lobbying dollars that are spent aren't bundles of cash given to Congresspersons, it's dollar spent on lobby firms that have armies of experts who know how Congress works, who to talk to and how to craft an argument that resonates. That doesn't come cheap.

Now up to this point nothing illegal has happened. You could argue it's unfair that businesses (well, more accurately organizations) have better access to Congress than individual voters, but groups will always have more power than individuals (since they represent more voters). There is nothing to stop a group of voters from forming an organization to lobby Congress on a specific issue. Again, that's what the ACLU and EFF do.

It seems like most people see "the AMA spent $10M on lobbying last year" and picture lobbyists passing bags of cash to Congress. No, that's illegal and has been for a very long time.
Not really. There is a huge replication crisis. Even the famous "anonymous orchestra auditions" have been debunked afaik.
Governments should pay the necessary salaries to hire some top tax-avoidance experts to help them close loopholes.
> I do find using VSCode with neovim to work better than vanilla vim

Do neovim and VSCode integrate in some way? I've never used neovim so I'm curious how you're using these two together
I'm not quite up to date, was it passed since 2018? I remember it being delayed quite a bit.

My Google-Fu has proved insufficient.
I expected our offices would hit them if our devs weren't working from home. That'd be all the devs at a given site pulling images from the same public IP address.

Although in case it's what you're asking: we haven't actually hit the limits yet. They're being progressively enforced. We're just taking steps to avoid being impacted when they do start affecting us.
The words themselves aren't, but the traits are based in gender stereotypes.

Being less assertive is considered a feminine quality. Being too assertive earns someone a label of "difficult to work with" "bossy" or cruder, "bitchy".
I feel like learned nothing about how the pump works from that sodium - potassium video. They just handwaved it away with "conformational changes". Would be neat if they zoomed in on the moving parts.

One of the authors is Sonia Kang, https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=AYjR5XIAAAAJ&hl=..., who has a couple of thousand citations of her academic papers. If she was getting the math wrong or making fundamental statistical errors I don't think people would be quite so keen to build on her research.

I think your ad hominem attack is a bit unjustified. You can disagree with the research without suggesting the author is incapable of making a cogent argument.
> I have never actually seen a left-placed mouse in the wild.

Then you've never seen my desk! (About 10-15% of the population is left-handed)

But really, the Pi 400 supports Bluetooth 5. So I expect many/most folks will go wireless for their rodents.
The "wage gap" is the one I see most often. It's presented in a way that makes it seem like women get paid significantly less than men, but in reality there's almost no gap when you account for the same position and experience level.

One thing that makes it hard to grok is how large the scope seems to be and the cognitive bias many devs have developed against new platforms due to being burned in the past. It reminds me of a throwback to 90s era RADs that wanted to encompass everything for everyone without really having clear intent or at least a platform company backing them to snare enough users to become a new platform. Sometimes there are gems in the rough in things like that like Delphi, and I don't mean to dismiss any of the ideas or dreams, but IMO platform companies are going to continue to monopolize the language space (for instance, I see great irony in they are using .NET because Microsoft basically does what they are trying to do). So that's why I bring up Delphi above, it seems this could be an opinionated framework on top of a .NET language instead of yet another language?
Try M-x find-file-literally to avoid any mode-specific hooks, colorization, etc.
You might be kind of wrong. I think you don't need consent. But the cookie law still requires notification banner (which is basically the same thing). That's because cookie usage by itself (no matter the purpose) requires notification.
I don't think more successful sales efforts are so _you can more effectively predict incoming revenue._

I think the most successful is so you can move beyond what is predictable.

To build a technology company,

What I like to have is a product or service that sells itself and can be launched with a simple awareness campaign.

Then build an organization which is sustainable meeting the organic or inherent demand, consisting of only the most persuasive advocates from top to bottom, only possible because of their deep involvement with the product.

At this point you're selling all you can make because everyone's effort is rising to meet the demand that is calling.

A dedicated sales group performing only persuasive advocacy at this point can be counter-productive.

They are supposed to be busy taking orders and delighting customers/clients with delivery of product.

All ouside contact with the organization is always with staff having a more advocating nature than normally encountered, underlyingly more persuasive too but with appropriately limited implementation compared to sales outreach. More well coached and on the same page than a dedicated sales group would even have. You don't want every contact to feel uncomfortable because everyone in the company is always trying to sell them something, especially when everyone is. You want contacts to feel good about the enthusiasm and attention they encounter by staff who are not even trying to take their order, and build anticipation for a rewarding transfer to Sales whenever the time may be right.

Organic demand can take you very far or it can have limitations that might be good to overcome.

Since you're always selling all you can make, it can be tempting to scale up and make more.

Depending on ambition, that is when you need a marketing approach more dedicated to persuasive advocacy, and now empowered with dealmaking abiliity. When you can finally make more than you can sell.

It's common to double production scale but then you need sales efforts that can double the company.

But all the company's effort might have gone into doubling production.

An oustide sales group should be highly feasible financially, but will never have the upside potential compared to when your longest-term deep advocates are running that show.

To build a sales company,

I like to have an unlimited reliable supply of products or services that sell themselves.
Reddit and Lisp Psychosis (2005)
Similar to an old trick for gastro workers. Take two pairs to work and swap them half way. Your feet will feel a lot better at the end of the day.
I had not considered that. I should also note that I rarely look at videos on YouTube so I am not really aware of the scope of that is there.
The tale of Docker is the tale of a non-success business, and unfortunately in those stories, a lot of problems created a lot of bad fallout. So depending on the lens you come and view it through, you can find villains all over the place. IMO, one of the biggest problems was that the Docker moat was primarily about mindshare. The core tech popularized containers, but it was thin enough that there's now the OCI, many other competing container runtimes, and docker plays completely no role in many large container usage scenarios (large public cloud operators). Kubernetes and really a lot of other clustering solutions always seemed to outweigh docker swarm, which was unfortunate too because that was probably one of the better monetizable vectors for the company.

If you compare all of this to a company like hashicorp, which in my opinion is just expertly run from the top, it's just a night-and-day tale. You can build great developer businesses, but you have to be careful, and probably still a little lucky. Docker had poor luck but I think they also had a lot of problems with not fully ideating the business of the product.
Hence "paired down." BTW, I take my definition of ghandism form george orwell.. he was not at all a ghandist.
I'm personally fed up with the "racism and sexism don't exist" propaganda.
Health-"care" costs are rising even faster - premiums are rising 13-15% EVERY year.

And the only way you see it in full is when you are self-employed. If you have employer-sponsored health insurance, some part of the increase is covered by the company - at the expense of your salary increase or bonus, of course.
That doesn't work because async functions need to be compiled for minimal stack usage (i.e. segmented stacks, packed variables), while non-async functions need to be compiled for minimal CPU usage (i.e. no stack checking or allocation, no variable packing, only one stack adjustment per function).

If you compile both for the same goal the system will have suboptimal memory usage or performance, and in general you don't know whether a function will be interrupted in advance if you don't have colored functions (also you can't move the stack if you have references unless you have a GC, which is terrible).

Why is there a gap in position and experience level?
It's dangerous to think of any React prop as "corresponding" to a DOM property. Only exception I can think of is "dangerouslySetInnerHTML" which has "dangerous" in the name already.

Children can be a function, node, or array of nodes (or something else); and you need to know the API of the component you're using before you can really know anything about any prop.

> I keep bouncing off Arduino stuff just because I find their IDE to be astonishingly awful

Arduino is both a cpp framework AND a really bad IDE. Using tools like PlatformIO or just your favorite toolchain, you can still use the Arduino libraries and skip their IDE.

With the ESP8622/ESP32 you can also skip arduino and use MicroPython, or push c/cpp code.
It's not. Email is decentralized, anyone can run a server, and there are no email monopolies.
Just out of curiosity, how important is live chat? I don't think I've ever had a good experience using a site's chat function.
>The owners of the company can sell the company, including cash balance, as an asset.

And just what do you think a cash balance does to the sale price of a company? Btw, that sale is a capital gain.
Hacktoberfest 2020 – Thanks to Our Contributors
I agree with this. I would also add that DKIM does not mean I created those keys. Many email providers today implement DKIM for their users. Fastmail is a great example of this. I have a few domains pointed to fastmail for family members to use. Their emails are DKIM signed. That signing is from fastmail, not my family members. If their account password is compromised, the attacker can also send DKIM signed emails. IP addresses are also useless in any case. Malware can be used from a family members PC to log into email. So DKIM is really just useful to minimize spoofed emails for accounts that are not hacked.
Agree - classic economics says a value creating infrastructure investments are always a good investment. In the US we've probably been to conservative on those investments given the "fiscal hawks". One large infrastructure spend that would great jobs, innovation and improvements in health would be for a large scale push into the hydrogen economy. That would be a huge game changer for this country and the future planet.
A society will naturally embrace those who are productive and naturally reject those who are destructive or parasitic. That is what you call racism.
Sure, but this was a discussion about taxing revenue produced within a country. What you are describing is avoiding for example profit tax, is it not?

I'm still not seeing how it applies to the proposed example.
Daniel Micay's take on it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20152005
The problem with _cfduid is that it is essentially a third-party cookie (even if it's set on your own domain).

So I think you are still required to inform users of the cookie usage, the purpose of the cookies and link to the relevant Cloudflare privacy/cookie policies.
The main thing is, but it just shells out to its CLI (named PlatformIO Core). Nothing is stopping you from using with another IDE, and they even have automated tools to set them up for you: https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/integration/ide/index....
someone probably said this to stallman and tovalds
That sounds like you're depriving yourself of information that could indicate emotional intelligence, communication skills, intent in applying, etc. I think you're only hurting yourself and your team (admittedly by an amount that is difficult to quantify). Why don't you read cover letters?
You wrote, "they prevent the largest cities from determining the vote for everyone."

Why should people living in a less populous state have more influence on the outcome of an election than people in more populous states (or cities)?

If people living in large cities have more influence it's not because of where they live but because there are more people. More people, more influence; the Electoral College dilutes this principle of fairness.
Women do get paid significantly less than men though. The statistic doesn't lie. We've decided to pay less for the jobs that women typically take. And they are less likely to get the same positions as men and are also therefore denied the same experience.
Eh, it’s not necessarily clear that nobody needs what you’ll end up with after iteration. Or maybe people need what you sell, but your marketing is unclear.
As a white man, who came to Britain from Ukraine on visa, the poorest country in Europe, whose parents earn 300$/month total, whose grandma was starving during the 1933 famine, and whose nation had slavery by 1861, whose language was banned on multiple occasions, (and other things like my accent etc) where do I stand in my white male privilege in comparison others who were born in the UK and US?
You’re not getting downvoted for saying mean things about the Clintons; don’t try and be a victim here. People disagree with your take on Taleb vs. Silver.
I don't know OCaml, so I can't give you a great answer, but I know that OCaml has a different type system that has some features that Scala 2 lacks, such as union types.
In fact, in instances where this has been examined, men have been underpaid: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/04/technology/google-gender-...

Note that this study was done only after women complained about being paid less.
Hasn't it? I think you're looking up, when the split happened down. Phones and tablets for consumption, laptops and desktops for creation. When you need more oomf, temporary cloud resources. A decent linux box with a good monitor seems just like my old SPARC IPC. I have an optical mouse (wireless and any surface!), ctrl-alt-meta keys on both sides, a compiler suite and and an X server. 1989 is still here if you squint.
If that's what you took away from my comment, then you are very likely part of the problem.
I think part of the reason why React causes negative reaction towards perceived "Javascript fatigue" is that Facebook introduced too much at once.

There's no reason why JSX had to be included at the same time with React. There's no reason for it to provide classes, the whole bells and whistles.

They could have released just the Virtual DOM part of the library (which was the major innovation) and keep other parts of it to themselves or release them later. When React released with so many features at once, it looked on the surface like just another framework. In fact, people still call it a framework today, even though it isn't one and was never really meant to be one.

And the fact that React was released in a such a big package, it meant that people weren't eased into each of the concepts, one at a time. Suddenly you not only have to learn about Virtual DOM, but the class API, JSX at once. Some people even throw Redux at the junior programmer at the same time. Imagine having to learn so many concepts at once! No wonder it's hard to learn.

It's a pretty basic pedagogical concept. You have to introduce each concept in isolation and then build understanding of the whole from those parts. If you do not understand what the problem with vanilla DOM manipulation is, there's no rush to learn JSX and Redux!

I guess in the end I'm just glad you decided to play around with vanilla DOM manipulation and build from that, step by step. "Learn everything at once" doesn't work very well.

It looks like Dark is trying to be a new language, a backend server, a CI solution, and an IDE! Then there is a blog post that everyone churns:

> Currently, we get 10 user signups a day, and on average, 0 of them stick. We do have developers who love Dark, but not enough.
https://roadmap.darklang.com/goals-of-dark-v2

I think the company should focus on just one of those things and it would still be an enormous lift given their size.

> The problems and fixes are across the product. One problem is that undo is slow, another is that you can't put a minus sign in front of an integer, another is that we need to define how namespaces will work in the package manager. The fixes range from adding tooltips in the UI, to adding a type-checker, to making the package manager public.
