My undergraduate was in engineering and it’s fun to look back because we used to do that with business and sales. For a student org we once sold shirts that said “friends don’t let friends become business majors”... which was fun and in jest of course.

I didn’t experience a lot of what you described in my MBA program as an engineer, though. Usually it was the opposite, but I think that comes with the maturity of the program I was in where you knew that not only was engineering important and valuable, but so were sales, accounting, nursing, and all sorts of other disciplines.

It hasn't been since at least fall 2019, when he stepped down. He hasn't been involved (at least on paper!) for over a year now, and the FSF has presumably been functioning between then and last Saturday.

It hasn't been since 2004, when the FSF staff unionized to protect themselves from Stallman (https://twitter.com/paulnivin/status/1374532930400227328).

It hasn't been since whenever Stallman's rider started including explicit instructions that his speaking fees should be sent to his personal mailing address and made out to his personal bank account, not the FSF treasury, not even to his personal assistant employed by the FSF. https://github.com/ddol/rre-rms/blob/master/rider.txt#L725-L...

And maybe it is in practice despite all that, but should it be? That's not their mission statement, and I think, for instance, that very few software authors would have been willing to say "or, at your option, any later version published by the Stallman Foundation" - let alone transfer their copyrights to the Stallman Foundation. Free software developers including myself entrusted the FSF with the ability to control our work precisely because the FSF was not just one guy, it was an organization that claimed to represent the entire free software movement.
It's wild to me that in the trials they didn't test all participants (including asymptomatic people) when asymptomatic transmission is the reason we're in a pandemic.
Bird-lovers have pushed an anti-lead agenda (for hunting) for decades and have been highly successful. They continue to make inroads into banning use of lead entirely:

"Bald eagles across the United States are dying from lead poisoning":

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/16/us/bald-eagles-dying-lead...

"CALIFORNIA'S LEAD AMMO BAN IN EFFECT JULY 1[2019]":

https://www.gohunt.com/read/news/californias-lead-ammo-ban-i...

I think most of this is anti-gun lobbying. When people are reduced to stoning wild ducks and spearing deer then anti-gunners will ask Congress to ban sticks and stones.
Sure but fluent-rs is not a small project. I don't have exact numbers but definitely above 2k lines. Even if you exclude the comments.

What I mean by it, maybe it's not the line count, but using too much macros and/or monomorphization.
The podcast definitely focuses on those problem members more than the good because egotistical assholes make for a more interesting story than mild-mannered retired college professor types who certainly make up a sizable portion of Mensa. However I also think it is fair to criticize a group as a whole when they fail to do anything to even try to curtail their worst members.

And obviously don't feel like you owe me any response after you listen or to even listen at all, I just recommend it for those interested in what Mensa can be like and the whole series is a relatively quick listen coming in at under 3 hours.
I started the current job during pandemic. I had never been to office of current. Zoom interview and WFH until now. Kids are also schooling from home. Hence, I now have three office set ups in home. One for me and two for kids in 3700 sqft home.

At least for me, I don't want to spend 2 hours commuting.

Since, the job pays well, I will go to office if asked for it.
FWIW this definitely wasn't the case for their Austin office pre-pandemic.
VAO and maybe more things that I don't even know about... I might be able to reimplement those in OpenGL ES 2 but I think OpenGL (ES) 3 is a good middle way between old stuff and over-engineered Vulkan, DX12 and Metal for dense but still ok performance and cross platform (mobile/PC) support.
I agree that the office is great for socializing, but that isn't what offices are for. I'm talking about trying to do head-down work requiring concentration.
I don't know, I don't have insecurities relating to personal identity (despite being in various categories that some people would label marginalized, though I disagree with that worldview fundamentally) so I can't say how people who do have such insecurities think. If I joined a group about XYZ it would be because I want to engage in XYZ activity or discuss XYZ topic with others, just like religious people go to their various religious activities and so on. I'm not disagreeing that some of these people in Mensa, parades, etc may in fact feel insecure, but I do want to point out that engaging in a group about a topic doesn't mean you're insecure
This paragraph was confusing:

"Kher has a brother working as an engineer in New York. He applied for a visa that was approved in December 2019, indicating a visit to the U.S. He took the trip more than a year later and was taken into custody on January 11, unaware of the outstanding arrest warrant."

It makes it sound for a moment like his brother got arrested. In fact, he applied for a Visa in order to visit his brother in NY.
None of those companies have any expertise in running a semiconductor fab, though. There probably is low-hanging fruit, but you have to be really familiar with the process to know where it might be.
Very cool! Great work :)

> This is a consequence for past actions

This is exactly how people justify cancel culture and/or cancelling others.

Before anyone downvotes as they did to OP, I am in no way shape or form defending the person of interest. But unfortunately, this is what cancel culture is; there's no reason to redefine it.
From my mind, agriculture gets priority because food is important and harvesting is time sensitive.

Food processing gets priority because closures of large facilities due to outbreaks caused significant disruption last year. Kind of meh to reward an industry for having low spare capacity, but it is what it is.

Retail, restaurants, etc workers have higher risks, but disruption is limited. Maybe a restaurant has to close (and several did over the past year), but there are other restaurants. Same for retail, even supermarkets.

I think there's a limit to how many people you can prioritize over general population before people start really gaming the rules even though I know some people have been gaming the rules since the beginning. It's not reasonable to expect vaccination facilities to check patients' employment to determine priority, so it's going to be on people to follow them.
This is bad for applicants who may be at dead-end jobs that don't provide much meaningful development experience, so instead choose to self-learn and/or contribute to OSS to fill the void.

Not saying your strategy is bad, just that you might miss some good candidates.

> As a very liberal person, I have to say that I am disgusted by cancel culture.

Are you using the non-American and leftist American definition of “liberal” (center-to-center-right capitalist) or the American center-right-to-right definition of “liberal” (anything left of the center-right) when you say “very liberal”?

> when I read Stallman's actual comments last year, I thought that it was very clear that he was only defending his friend, who was dead and couldn't defend himself.

A lot of the comments and actions at issue, including the separate general endorsement of “voluntary” child sex, had nothing to do with Minsky.
> it's not particular to JS

We're specifically talking about new programmers who haven't used any of those languages, and who are being reared in the JavaScript ecosystem where certain patterns reign that obscure this language behavior. That's what the original discussion was about.

> It's important if you really want to know why your examples work they way they do.

It's really not. Pass-by-reference and pass-a-pointer-by-value are subtly different concepts even in the C++ world, and using terminology that involves the word "pointer" opens up a whole other can of stuff that needs explaining.
The only thing I would probably say is that this person was in charge of subreddits like /r/teenagers

If you had even some suspicion that this person could be compromised or maybe not be a great option for the ADMINISTRATOR of certain groups that could be easily influenced, wouldn't it be better to just decline them as not a great fit for that role?

This just seems like bad judgement given the fact that she was thrown out of two parties and just the association with her father at 21 (very much an adult mind you) seems like it would immediately disqualify her from working with children (note: nothing against them working for reddit, but in the capacity they were employed it seems incredibly irresponsible of Reddit)
Well, guilt by association is certainly a trait of cancel culture and, unless I missed it, association is the source of all pedophilic activity in this story rather than anything the subject (Mrs. Challenor) did themself.

Yet if you look at Reddit's homepage, you'd think she was the one charged with child rape.
Small addition to avoid confusion: the purpose of STUN is kind of the opposite of TURN in this context. TURN will tunnel the traffic through the server and the clients don't need to know each others real IP addresses. STUN on the other hand is used in order for the clients to learn their real IPs despite NAT and be able to establish a direct connection.

Wouldn't one of the "obscurity" features in this case be how few messages were encrypted with the cipher? If there were a larger database of encrypted messages, it may have been more susceptible.
Call me crazy, but I go even more verbose than that. I go full Rspec/BDD mode:

class TestAuthenticateMethod:

class TestWhenUserExists:

class TestWhenPasswordIsValid:

def test_it_returns_200(self, app, user):
assert ...

class TestWhenPasswordIsInvalid:

def test_it_returns_403(self, app, user):
assert ...

class TestWhenUserDoesNotExist:

def test_it_returns_403(self, app, user):
assert ...

It is so worth it. I can look back at my tests 3 months later and know exactly what was intended wthout duplicating explanations with comments. Yes some methods can get a bit long and indented, but it's worth it for me. The other downside is you have to start all classes/methods with "test" but I got used to that very quickly.

When you run pytest it's very clear what's being tested and what the expected outcome is since it gives you the full class hierarchy in the output.
> He is being ostracized for sexual harassment.

Being a bit of a weirdo - which is really the only allegation so far that has had any real merit, to my knowledge - is not sexual harassment. Claiming otherwise does a massive disservice both to neuroatypical people and to actual victims of sexual harassment.

> Finally, does he have an autism diagnosis?

Does he need one? This is the US we're talking about; considering how frequently and harshly even the slightest mental irregularity gets ostracized in this country - as exemplified in this very thread - I wouldn't blame him for being undiagnosed, whether due to not knowing there's something different about himself in the first place or due to actively wanting to avoid the stigma such a diagnosis would carry.

> The responsible thing to do, if Stallman were autistic, would be to seek treatment for autism.

Right, I'm sure there's some pill he can take, right? Oooh, or maybe hypnotherapy! Or lobotomies! Or electroshock therapy!

Imagine calling me ableist in the same breath used to insist that neuroatypical people should submit themselves to some sort of conversion therapy if they want to be accepted in society.
I wonder how in-scope this would be for bug bounty programs. Getting a dev's-eye view into an application would be invaluable for determining attack vectors, and there's also snooping kanban boards for low-priority bugs and slack for lazy cred sharing.

If I didn't live out in the sticks (and had done research to make sure it would be legal) I'd give it a go.
The state of vaccine distribution/availability in California is pathetic. I'm a former thyroid cancer patient and since going through treatment a year and a half ago, I've become more susceptible to infections. Yet I'm not eligible for a vaccine since I don't have cancer currently.
Right so if you are vaccinated you are no longer a carrier and cannot infect those who are not vaccinated. If enough people get vaccinated they act as a barrier between the carriers and the unvaccinated, hence herd immunity.
> Challenor moderated the major Reddit forum r/lgbt among others for several years.

Key quote from this article: https://freebeacon.com/culture/reddit-faces-massive-user-pro...

I deactivated my reddit account and blocked reddit domains on my devices this morning as a result of the censorship. So now I'm cut off from any more reddit interaction and can't provide anything further. Also, Challenor and other admins deleting evidence and permabanning people is like, the whole issue.
I read through as many specific quotes as I could find and it all looked like your typical tenured male professor running his mouth. Is Stallman kind of creepy? I think so. Is it a good idea to explore the philosophical points of under age sex in an academic setting or in public? No, but thank the gods you are allowed to...sort of. Has he DONE anything wrong? If so, someone should notify the police.

That blog post calling for his removal was way overblown and quite childish.

I worked in a college setting for years and tenured professors were found in possession of pornography on school grounds and on school equipment. We in tech, who discovered and reported it,thought it was a big deal. Academic freedom policy and union protection gave it the big shrug. That didn't protect their reputation but it did protect their freedom.

I came to hold dear the notion of academic and intellectual freedom from my years working there. Web filtering and monitoring were completely off the table. Not because it might protect some creepy dudes from exposure but because it protects us all in ways that most people don't even fathom.

I predict that the author of that post will deeply regret their actions one day when they grow up.
Writing this on an iPad Pro 10.5".

The key combos on an iPad, even with an external keyboard, aren't perfect so SSHing isn't going to scale well.

It's easier just to use a regular computer than try to pretend an iPad can become a terminal. I should know, I've even tried developing over SSH from my iPhone with an Apple Magic Keyboard.

Just don't.

Use a laptop. If you don't like the built-in keyboard, get a USB or BT one.
Sad to see a website that once felt kind of indie succumb to obvious corporate-speak and lies like this.
> I am still amazed we can still buy stuff from amazon with 2 day delivery.

Depends on what you are buying I suppose. I was burned by some purchases early on in the pandemic (most notably a printer, something that has been in short stock nearly everywhere) and haven't used amazon or any other online delivery service since.

At least with stores I know it is there in front of me, even if there are shortages.
I think you missed the point.

Someone hijacks a LNG carrier, parks it in the canal and says they have a bomb on the pressure vessel.

Regardless of what infrastructure it would damage or not, it will shut down shipping.

Who would be willing to get close to it to do anything about it? What do you do, stand off and launch a missile and definitely destroy it?
I had a similar experience but I eventually found that sticking to a consistent 8hr sleep schedule and doing a quick 20-30 minute physical warm up first thing in the morning fixed the problem.
You're misunderstanding what I've described. Only the JITting would occur in a separate process. The sandboxed app would give the JS code to the JITter daemon, then the JITted code would be mapped to the address space of the sandboxed app, where it would run just as if it was part of the native app binary. There's no marshalling other than sending JS code to the JIT daemon.
I strongly support the concept and the practical benefits of both Firefox and Tor, but I would never have anything to do with the two organizations behind the software. How many people in the Tor project leadership directly supported or did not directly oppose the death threats, home invasion, cyber bullying, and extra-judicial punishment involving Jacob Appelbaum?

Free software is built on volunteers doing what is often a thankless job, and all this drama is going to make a lot of people to consider doing something else than contributing.
Thanks andrewnc !
> I'm not fully aware of what he did, and to what extend he hold on to being a "misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety". Hence I look fwd to a defense.

The accusation uses political activist wording that most of us are familiar with at this point, indicating that woke activism of the signatories and the organizations they work for have at least had some influence. Do you think an expectation of a response should be tempered by this concern about political activism of the accusers?

Socially extremely competent innocent people regularly fail in defending themselves, or get cancelled even after proven innocent. Asking a borderline autistic person like RMS to defend himself while navigating the complex woke activism in the accusation seems like a big ask.

The subject of the interview states that crime has been rising since 2014, but that doesn't look to be 100% the case checking the FBI crime statistics.

https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr/publications

Instead it looks like we had a rise in violent crime from 2014 to 2016 and then further decline through 2019. Although I can't find good data for 2020, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt given all the rioting that happened over last year.

Even though there were more violent crimes in 2019 than in 2013 before the rise, it was only by about ~50,000 offenses on a scale of 1.25 million. Noticeable for sure, but it doesn't seem obvious that "Our Great Crime Decline" is by any means over.

Also interesting how we talk about 'brutal police tactics' causing 'harm' that are unfortunately 'necessary to prevent criminal violence'. I guess citizens are 'violent' and the state is merely 'harmful'. If we are going to have a discussion on violence we may as well address the state's implied monopoly on it; and thus the real reason why guns are a 'problem' in America.
Hey! It absolutely shows in your products. Very happy Pro 3 owner; it is a joy to play, the sound and controls are always inspiring. A true musical instrument.
Yeah, beyond health workers and old people - logistics around prioritization just seem like a disaster.

You could do age bands to get old people in, but once they stop coming just keep expanding the age or open it up to everyone.

Did you, uh, read the medium link that I and the appendix linked to? https://selamjie.medium.com/remove-richard-stallman-appendix...

He threatened suicide if a woman wouldn't date him. That's abusive manipulation.

He, unsolicitedly hands out 'pleasure cards' to women at conferences. That's harassment: Conferences are a interest and professional environment; they're not Tinder.

Having a bed in his office at MIT is creepy as hell. Inviting woman at MIT into his office would hence be harassment.

Women at MIT had to keep plants in their offices to ward him off. Ward off his persistent, unwanted, sexual advances. That's him causing harassment.
Unless I’ve worked with you or someone that I deeply trust has and will vouch for you, I don’t have any stronger signal of your coding and teamwork abilities than a strong OSS contribution history can provide.

It’s rare for an interview process to provide more than 6 hours of content, some of which is non-evaluatable. Reference checks are all but useless compared to seeing actual work over time.

About 1 time in 6, you’ll interview a full standard deviation above or below your “true” ability. About 1 time in 50, you’ll turn in a +2σ (or -2σ) performance. That’s largely eliminated with personal experience, a trusted vouch, or a strong OSS portfolio.
Perhaps a better way of putting this is that while autism doesn't need a "cure," being an asshole is absolutely a thing that - if it is indeed caused by a medical condition - a medical professional can help with. (And if it is not caused by a medical condition, then it is simply a character flaw, and should be judged like a willful character flaw and not like a medical condition.)

There are plenty of autistic people who are not assholes and are lovely people. Many of them say they go out of their way to have their rational brain compensate for the level of emotional processing that other people expect out of them, that they specifically worry about being perceived as rude.

The least a leader of an activism organization can do (assuming he does in fact care about the activism) is to figure out when he's alienating people and figure out how to stop, or to step down and let someone else take the leadership role.
So have there ever been vaccines that prevent you from getting getting the disease while still allowing you to spread it? This is a genuine question.

Bull manure. That's a choice you've made for yourself, not some larger truth about life.

I live in the suburbs (20 miles west of DC). My office is 1 mile away and I walk. The schools are 1 mile away; if I had school-age kids, we'd walk. I can walk or cycle to the grocery, the brewpub, coffee shop, post office, and burger joint (all 0.5-2 miles away). I rarely use my car during the week; the vast majority of my mileage is weekend trips to the mountains.
Edit: I don’t want to comment

No, because you have to be a right-wing partisan to believe that “cancel culture” is somehow a thing (and even then, it's not clear how even they can believe that the exact same things that they described as both novel and distinctly leftist, despite being practiced by all sides for most of human history, including by the people complaining about it, from about the 1980 to the late 2010s under the label “political correctness” are now novel and uniquely leftist under the label “cancel culture”.)
