> I suppose when talking about PLs it's proportional to amount of working code in the wild.

It comes down to the number of people that knows, or shows interest in, any given programming language.

You are right that you might need to diverge from your language of choice at one point, even rewrite your whole application (which is scary enough), but you should do that at a point where a different language is "at top", or at least trending towards "the top."

Perl is trending downwards in all statistics,[1][2][3] except maybe statistics that has to do with salaries, because it's hard to find people who can do the job.

This is not a bashing of Perl itself: I love Perl, but I also see where it's failing, which is why I make use of several different programming languages to get a job done, if necessary. At the end of the day, Perl is just another tool in the toolbox, and as a boss you need to employ people that are familiar with the most popular (not necessarily the best, sadly) tools to get the job done.

I agree that it's a "two-way street"; but that seems to contradict your initial language was that it was "[the newcomers'] job to integrate".

Ah. The fat detective.
In this case, yes. For one, the original title has them. Secondly, as stated in the article, Reddit denies the allegations:

> [...] admin u/landoflobsters explains that it was not the company’s intention to remove any mention of Knight’s name, but that there had been “overzealous automaton” when it came to preventing doxxing and harassment. The admin explained that an internal error had led to the suspension of a moderator who had posted Knight’s name, and that the company had “communicated clearly” with the affected party as they resolved the situation.

A now fixed error would not count as censorship. He might be lying, but there's enough reasonable doubt to allow for quotes IMO.

On a side note, though, it's funny that the article choose to put quotes around “communicated clearly” as well.
That's wonderful! You sound like a very driven person to be able to do all of that. Of course, your experience and ability shouldn't be considered the norm with everyone or expected of anyone, especially because with finite time in the day and differing situations, we must strive to judge everyone on the same plane.
Just like armies technically could curbstomp civilians during protests, but many countries realize that's a bad idea.

I don't doubt admins and "powermods" are often the same people, and I'm not defending the morality of reddit as an org. However, the etiquette is that mods have total control over their subs as long as site-wide rules and real laws are not violated.
Reddit must be spending 10s of millions of dollars a year with AWS. They're not about to boot them off without a court order.
Grantham convinced London to scrap all plans for political reform on the basis that it did not "interest the British electorate". Later, when confronted by the Hong Kong public, he blamed London.[12] All major democratic reforms for Hong Kong were dropped by British Cabinet decision. In October 1952, the British Colonial Secretary Oliver Lyttelton announced that the time was "inopportune for...constitutional changes of a major character".[16]

Of course, British has its own interests, while China also has its own interests. In the end, HK is part of China, and it should be returned to China fully. If British consider Hong Kong's freedom is more important, maybe they should went to war with China instead.
If this is all well understood -- then:

Well, when viewed from the perspective of legal realism, a lot of software licensing is a joke.

I'm an open source developer - but even if Oracle had violated my license terms and I had indisputable proof of it, I wouldn't take them to court.

Arguing about the differences between GPL3 and WTFPL in a hypothetical court case is about as meaningful and productive as arguing about the differences between a chainsaw and a katana in a hypothetical zombie apocalypse.
It appears she is pretty good at rallying troops for her cause, even despite this controversy. It’s not that far fetched she could have seemed a good community manager.
They can always just stop using Reddit. Digg went this way, too, and it ended badly for them.
Intel's new GPU's need the all the advantages they can get to survive market entry. When Intel's process is ready, shipping, and better then they can switch.
This would effectively kill devices like PinePhone, because they wouldn't be able to test the product in development with the community. Is that really the desirable outcome?

It's not like we're talking about some kind of small print in the EULA here, either. It's prominently plastered all across the website, and during the ordering process.
newest iPhone SE fits the bill
No, a modern GPU literally draws about 1000 amps of current. For example, a non-overclocked 3090 draws about 500w under load (some of this goes to memory, but that is powered by the motherboard not by the external power connector), at a Vcore of roughly 1.1v which gives a bit over 450 amps--on average! The peak power consumption (as measured on a nanosecond scale being consumed by the asic itself) can easily be double the average power consumption due to the bursty nature of asic power draw.
Interview with Georges Jeanty: Illustrator for Marvel / DC Comics
As always, there are tradeoffs.

Personally, I work with some incredibly (100+line) long "unit" tests and they are a nightmare to work with.

Especially when the logic is repeated across multiple tests, and it's incorrect (or needs to be changed).

I really, really like shorter tests with longer names, but I'd imagine there are definitely pathologies at either end.

My friends in Hong Kong care a lot. They were born and raised there. They're all making plans to leave because they don't want their children to grow up in a CCP-dominated Hong Kong.

I understand all the things you're talking about, and I agree, you can block the main thread (and elixir does not use the OS processes so it's awesome...). I do disagree with the take on await/async but that's a different discussion.

Is the article insightful? Mostly, yes.

Did Node and JS have to be painted this way? probably not.
Your app actually solves exactly the right problem for me and it looks and acts exactly how I’d want it to. I think you really nailed it and your mention of unifying slack and github comments sounds very appealing.

$10/month is priced way too high. That’s the combined price of slack and github for just a more efficient way to see notifications.

If I was in a smaller startup I might consider paying $1-$2/month out of pocket or expensed to my productivity budget at a bigger org, if you had the github+ slack thing and the calendar thing.

If I’m paying monthly then I expect lots of very rich updates or new products added to the lineup.

I personally think either $10/year with more widgets and tools is a good price point but it also limits you to the people who need all the tools you’re building which shrinks every time you add a new tool.

So maybe instead go with a one-time purchase option of $10 for just this calendar widget, and any new significantly better version or other tool would be another $10 to upgrade or buy the other widget. That’s effectively recurring pricing if you continue to deliver new features but it lets users value each thing individually and only buy what they want
Can you expand on this? I haven't noticed any change in comment section usability and I've been on reddit for 10+ years.
This is my favorite algorithm ever, and the first serious one that I tried (and failed) to implement in my life when I was a teen. I remember dearly implementing the first three algorithms (A, S, M) in the nasm assembler on my debian "hamm". Then I tried for many weeks to get D right, but never managed to be sure all the cases worked.

These algorithms are probably easier to implement in assembly than in a higher-level language.
Not just the US. 8% of the manufacturing is done in EU when like 90% of the global supply is made with European ASML machines... I don't think it was a coincidence that Gelsinger mentioned national security, EU, and ASML in his speech.
Reddit's automoderator is not a wild animal that gets "aggressive." It's a simple regex: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/automoderator/full-documentation Someone edited the rules to deliberately block any mention of the name in question site-wide.
Supposedly, in the 1940s, when Arthur C Clarke (now mainly known as an SF author) proposed the idea of geostationary satellites [0] as extra-terrestrial radio relays, he believed that they would have to be manned space-stations because of the need to keep changing the valves that had blown.

You actually save additions too.

If you look at Strassens algorithm [1] you see that it splits each matrix in 4 blocks. Naively you can do 8 multiplications of those blocks, as well as 4 matrix additions, and recover the full matrix multiplication.

If T(n) is the number of operations (additions as well as multiplications) for an nxn matrix multiplication, we can write the equation T(n) = 8T(n/2) + 4(n/2)^2.
If we solve this, we end up with T(n) ~ n^3, which is of course the time complexity of naive matrix multiplication.

However, with Strassen you end up with 7 smaller matrix multiplications and 18 matrix additions. The equation we get now is T(n) = 7T(n/2) + 18(n/2)^2.
We end up with T(n) ~ n^(2.8).

We see that when we save _matrix_ multiplications we eventually end up saving both elementary multiplications _and_ additions.

I didn't say anything about pulling a gun, just that if you aren't willing to arm yourself and re-engage, it is a dick move to call someone else armed to come over and do it for you.

It has nothing to do with violence. The correct move is obviously to not re-engage, personally or by proxy.

> Isn't that the very reason societies develop laws and governments? To not have people using violence to get their way?

Quite the opposite. Laws are enforced exclusively via threat of violence, and the only thing that distinguishes the government from any other leadership organization is a claim to legitimate use of violence.

I think the decision makers at Reddit are fully aware of the Streisand Effect but they don't care because they know the userbase has a short memory and things will go back to normal within a week or two.
I agree that's a problem of traditional management. The way to counter it is good management methods, in particular ensuring that reviews and promotions are cross-validated using other personnel, both horizontally and vertically. I'm sure you're right though, some bias will slip through.

The question you have to ask yourself is whether you are prepared to tolerate occasional suboptimal decisions for a metrics based evaluation that _corrupts the entire system_.
The root problem is that redistributive systems are inherently coercive. If your system has money and commerce of any kind, more money will end up in some hands than others.

I'm not making a fundamental judgement on this, all laws are coercive in some sense, capitalist systems often have redistributive features, taxes and such.

However redistribution in the extreme and complete sense in communism is often characterised in utopian terms. From each according to their ability, to each according to their need. That's a fine sentiment, but it entails an awful lot of systematic and thorough coercion, and the virtual elimination of freedom in the distribution and use of capital, or in fact property or resources of any kind. This is why we keep getting the "no true scotsman" complaint that criticisms of communism are invalid because they are never 'real' communism. That doesn't account for the coercive and prescriptive nature of a thoroughgoing redistributive system run by a bureaucratic elite. Since they need the authority to redistribute all resources, they need effectively unlimited power. That's why they keep ending up becoming so corrupt.

To the extent that socialist systems retain any freedom in the use, exchange and accumulation of money, they become correspondingly capitalist. Hence communism with 'Chinese' (read capitalist) characteristics.

Those people are (intentionally?) confusing censorship with the legal right to censor.

What Reddit is doing unambiguously qualifies as censorship. It is also perfectly legal, but that's not the point.
They meant there's comments Stallman made about Epstein/pedophilia and then there's this.
Well effects do not systematically happen. I'd say that as a general rule people don't care, even if they should. So if a Streisand happen it would mostly be because of a tini active and loud minority and maybe a medium sized passive community of "retweeters", the vast majority being as always passive and silent.
Well, that would be improper, so I'm glad they haven't been.

Booting people off core infrastructure (IaaS, colo, DNS) for reasons outside violation of law is a very slippery slope.
Watching a tech company break free of legacy media and seize control of its narrative and position in the culture is awe-inspiring. Stripe is all the more impressive because their business wasn’t media-adjacent like Netflix’s.

I’m seeing a company that nails things so consistently and effortlessly that I am convinced that in a decade it’ll be Amazon but for finance. Potential competitors will be terrified of Stripe the same way they are of Amazon. They just execute too well to be comfortable around.
>Some people would argue that "censorship" would not apply to a private company owned platform.

You're mistaking the argument here. The argument is that a private company exercising censorship isn't violating a US person's constitutional right to free speech because the two things are different. It doesn't mean its not censorship and it doesn't mean it can't be unethical. It just means that the company has the legal right to censor whatever they want.
Yes but sadly I'm on Exchange - so it won't work for me right now. Otherwise I'd already be playing with it!
That statement only holds if you only define "value" as financial gain. I would consider that a dangerous simplification.
Nope, still stuck as of this post. It's easy to check:

This is just another single dimension hiring credential, that will result in limiting your hiring pool to people like yourself. My code ran on 70+ million machines last month, but I've come to decline any timed or proctored technical interviews.

It's not that I'm too good for whiteboarding or timed tests, or that my options are so open that there isn't significant cost in doing so - quite the opposite: I'm come to find the process so traumatic that going through with it isn't worth it for anyone involved: those jobs just aren't open to people like me.

This might be an unpopular opionion, but anyone who feels that Stallmans antics make him unfit for leading the FSF is also not someone I want have any say in that organizsation.
It shows a lack of ability to discern between message and messanger, as well as private and professional opinion.

He is the single most consistent arbiter of open source, clinging to views we all here admire; With such a dedication that it is hard to imagine ANYONE, even fictional, who would be better suited for that particular position (head of FSF).

Aleniating people is in and of itself not a problem for a leader, it works the same way in any other area:
Would you want to attract people to Black Lives Matter who would be alienated by Martin Luther King?
Do you really find it problematic that the buddhists don't try to attract people who can't stand the Dalai Lama?

Is it really a Problem that the FSF didn't attract people who would critizise Stallman ONLY on points which have no bearing on the mission of the FSF?

And the article really makes a great point about how most of that criticism consists of misrepresentation, faulty analysis and double standards.
Keeping people like that out of the FSF is not only fine by me, it is absolute paramount to keep it working.
Same here. This looks like the exactly the right move Intel needed.

I don't think enough people fully appreciate that just about the entire world's leading edge supply is located within cruise missile range of China. The CCP could cripple the global economy in under an hour. Having supply chains out of their reach is not a nice to have, it is a must.
“Soviet” feels like a dramatic overstatement.
I don't have a car, I don't plan to get a car, and I've lived happily for years without a car. I use transit and cycling to get around, even though this takes a lot more time and effort. I even refuse to use a taxi.

Just to clarify my PoV, and my view why most carmakers should be closed immediately (at least VW started building electric vehicles since... that's at least some improvement).

The original study by the west virginia university, for the ICCT, names 6 carmakers all using defeat devices. (I read it back when Dieselgate happened)

Bosch, manufacturer of the VW defeat device, in trial, said that they delivered these exact configurations to all their customers, just with slightly different parameters.

Defeat devices based on temperature (instead of air pressure or humidity) are legal in the US, "to protect the engine".

One of the results of the dieselgate scandal was that VW was forced to build a certain amount of electric vehicles. Why weren't the other carmakers forced to do so as well?

That's mismanagement that doesn't even see it's mismanagement.

A policy problem that affects a person in leadership affects everyone in the group. They should have communicated with the affected parties and it sounds like they left it to the moderator to sort everybody else out.

They chose... poorly.
One thing I am not sure is why such a radical action was taken so quickly without thinking carefully first? It's not like a lawsuit was threatened or something. The original request in https://github.com/minad/mimemagic/issues/97 that you linked to was very polite and professional.

1) A time extension to remove the GPLed code could be politely requested. I know that the copyright belongs to all contributors but getting on good terms with the maintainer could be a solid first step. I think just opening a PR with that file deleted (and tests failing) could have been interpreted as a willingness to comply with the request in good faith.

2) A request to relicense the XML file in question under LGPL could have been sent to the original project (could be problem without CLAs, but still worth a try). Then the library could have been relicensed under LGPL.

3) Gem users could have been notified. Some prominent people from those projects could have helped with (1) and joined a kind request (2) to the original project.

At least that's how we'd (try to) handle it on our project under Eclipse Foundation (though we used to have a GPL code scanning for releases in the first place until very recently) if such situation arose. Anyway, talking to people first before doing something quickly is often a good idea.

We can define propaganda in contrast to psychological warfare. Whereas psychological warfare is the dissemination of cultural products by a military to the population of a foreign adversary in pursuit of a strategic objective, propaganda is the dissemination of cultural products by a government to their own people in the pursuit of strategic objectives. This definition serves the discussion of propaganda in the broader context of warfare well.
