> From what I can tell, many developers view the development process as a sacred protected space for creation.

I think this entirely depends on what kind of people you hire, and what type of environment you put them in. I've worked with developers who's sole focus was on just building whatever they were told, they focused on the technical aspects, and didn't care whether it would be deployed, or if the user would even use it.

I've also worked in teams, where everyone was a product engineer, which essentially just means that we focused on building products, and while the tech side was important, it was more important to make sure the product got build, and eventually used.
We often worked side by side with our business teams, marketing and design people, and it was honestly the most fun I've ever had. Knowing that I was building something that people were actually going to use, just motivated and excited me.

That ejection (for anything other than outright illegal content) makes the moderators “publishers” responsible for what does not get culled. Can’t offer the space as “public”, eject people for opinions, then claim “public space” protections when actual criminal content is found on site.
Trust in good intentions is a huge red flag any time communism is being discussed. I'd like to believe that you are approaching this from good intentions and that you honestly can't see the horrific results that your proposed political/economic system would bring about - but there are just so many corpses tied to attempts to implement communism that anyone proposing it in serious conversation either does not fully understand the full history of it, or they are intentionally ignoring it for their own purposes.

Take for example your use of "libertarian communist." These are mutually incompatible ideologies. Libertarianism promotes maximum individual liberty (freedom). Communism by its very nature limits personal liberty to the maximum extent possible. You cannot have both because nature of communism will immediately begin to erode all liberties you may have envisioned.

No gulags or prisons? But where do you put the people who oppose the ideas you are proposing? But you will convince them your ideas are pure and you just want the best for everyone so you won't need to lock them away or dispose of them. But what about those who don't want to be convinced? Or the people who just don't like being told what to do? How will you incentivize them? There's a lot of people like that out there. You'd need an entire bureaucracy to promote your ideas to the non-believers. But some people would be silent dissenters - stirring up doubt and pursuading others away from your ideas through less public means. You'd need a way to keep tabs on these people to make sure they don't try to overthrow your administration before its had a chance to succeed. And what if they do find evidence of a conspiracy to abandon your ideas? Because your ideas are pure and the outcomes are expected to be glorious, anyone who rejects them must be...

And what of the people who do support you? How will you reward achievement and promote innovation in a system without means of reward? How will you keep them loyal? You will find the solution is quite simple actually - a system without reward mechanisms still has mechanisms for punishment.

So no - communism is not just misunderstood, it is not just implemented badly, it is not just attempted by the wrong people. It is rotten to the core. It is a fractally bad idea.
You know that courts are often involved in disputes between two private parties? Especially when it comes to the completely one sided termination of a service agreement by one party.

In case they locked you out without ability to get your belongings or mail a court case may be sensible.
I was under the impression it is always a hyperlink.
This is my personal opinion.

We have been devouring each other for ages now. Entire cultures have vanished, destroyed by more powerful members of the same species. The entire history of our species has been on violent conflict where a stronger group removes a weaker group, only to be removed later by another group that emerges stronger. Previously it was racial, clan-based violence. Now it's economic servitude where a perpetually unfortunate lower class keeps on greasing the wheels of industry with sweat and blood. The rich stay rich, the poor stay poor.

We are not benevolent or kind creatures. We are programmed to survive. As long as the poor live, they will rarely question the rationality behind the inequality that keeps them poor.
It is interesting they consider it a paradox. When the demand curves show it. As making something more efficient moves the supply curve around (and moves where MR=MC is). Or in econ 250 class speak 'shift the supply curve right'. I think the 'paradox' comes in where they do not consider there is more demand on the other side of lower prices? Not all goods goto infinity on cost vs demand curve. But some sure act like it.
Technically it was not the airline refusing service, there was a force majeure, and many insurances have explicit exceptions for stuff like pandemics, wars, etc.

1) Marketing: it has contributed to my Twitter following today (+50 so far), other effects are probably not so visible. Maybe someone checking out my websites, etc.

2) Advice:
- you have to do marketing or no one knows you exist
- try to get over the fear of exposure
- work on less scary things (SEO)

Post-disaster cleanup is expensive, time-consuming and wasteful
Quite a lot of work that when’t into making that look good. Is ok for beginners. Some comments:

1) rvm vs rbenv, I’m on the rvm side so I would nope out

2) db choice, PostgreSQL, yup very popular but I’ve got MongoDB and MariaDB installed and SQLite comes by default so I would nope out here too

3) overall nice, I think I would recommend it to somebody who wants to start out when I don’t have time to help them set up, did the setup with a friend for the rails alpha 2 weeks ago (with rvm and SQLite). There is a place for something like this to make it easier for noobs to rails

4) I’ve done this setup often enough, I should have created a script for my setup long time ago and pushed it to github

I think it looks amazing. I wish I could work on an UI like that all the time... Not long ago I was working at an office (non-IT stuff) and they had these very old computers, still running Windows 7, and I remember being able to enable the Win 98 theme, I was so happy about that... at home I was running Windows 10, where you can no longer give your desktop that ancient feel...

I'd say Windows 95/98 was peak UI design. This UI feels even better...

The more legitimate usage of Tor there is the better as it will attract less attention. This also helps Tor users who use it for privacy protection.
Glad to hear this is still on the table! I have been very keenly watching this space waiting for this to land here :)
I spend a lot of time sniffing them out.

My area of expertise is biochemistry, life science, immunology, cell bio... So if anyone wants good recommendations in these topics I have plenty! :)
On that note, I have started using a VPN to my home country (where I have a gigabit fiber link) just to stop seeing all these fucking ads. Especially on YouTube.

1-2 ads, fine... But I regularly saw 4-6 on ~15 minute videos, give me a fucking break.

I NEVER buy anything based on ads.
Could you explain why? Any experience/benchmark to share?

I am not aware of anyone anywhere doing this in production, load testing this application in a way that matches production server traffic or ever having used this outside of a desktop. That is the point really. You would be one of the first to tickle any bugs. If you can find a community of people doing this that could help when you run into problems, then you might not be the first to do this. I am never against bending applications to do something they were not intended, it's in my name.. but I am also very familiar with sitting in front of a room full of executives that want an explanation for why the outage occurred and how to keep it from occurring again.

By the way, [1] has a GUI, but you can install only the daemon on the servers.

Correct it was not intended for servers.

Limiting to what IPs/domains/ports an application connects to might be useful. But blocking unknown binaries is where this apps really shine (reverse shells, miners...), not because they stop them, but because they'll tell you what app tried to establish a connection, where it is on the disk, etc.

This is less of a problem on servers. You would not deploy applications that have not been QA tested, benchmarked, code security reviewed and approved for deployment. If that is happening outside of your control that is an issue that needs to be brought up with the leadership of your development teams. Encourage them to use distroless containers and strip out applications that have not been approved. Your web daemons need to only have access to applications they are approved to use. You can enforce mandatory access controls in AppArmor/SELinux though I acknowledge people get overwhelmed by this and just disable it or use the default targeted rules that come with the OS which is barely useful at all.

I summary, if you want to be one of the first organizations to use this in a production datacenter setting that is great but you will be the first to experience all the "it wasn't supposed to do that" moments. If you do this, please document all the issues that you run into so that others can learn from your experience and go easy on the developers of this code as it was not intended to be used this way.
Awk is advanced in the sense that it is a programming language by itself. Years ago I had to migrate an old version of an Informix database to a newer version. The old version did not have tools to export the database as DDL and DML statements. So I had to create a tool myself to do it. The system did not have perl installed so I had to use awk. It worked nicely enough.
What kind of hidden allocations?
Hi Luca - congratulations! I have a quick question, have their been any proposals to add Subresource Integrity hashes (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subres...) to the import syntax? I think this effects Deno more acutely than other projects since Deno supports / (encourages?) directly importing from a url with a precise version number encoded in the url. It would be nice to add another layer of safety on top and be able to assert that the module received is exactly as expected. Thanks!
> Your username is Kaiser. That could be a bannable offense.

Why? Kaiser is a royal title and widely used family name from the German sphere of culture. Who could be legitimated offended by this alone?
Do any NFTs right now give you ownership over the pic or what have you? I haven’t seen any that have. I also haven’t looked too deeply.
You're making the same mistake all star eyed futurists-skeptics make, which is to not realize that in reality, new sigmoidal curves are started all over the place.

It's just a matter of time and survival. How long? I don't know. Probably long.
I think the employee made a mistake.

The way I understand it, she accused her boss of rape, went to court, and her boss was charged for "forced indecency", which is a lesser crime. I don't know Chinese law, but generally, once someone have been convicted, it is the end, and you can't accuse someone again for the same facts. What it means is that officially, her boss is not a rapist.

If the employee continues with her accusations of rape without bringing in new facts, then, they are officially false accusations, because she goes against what the court of law settled on. And her boss can probably sue her for libel.

I don't know the full story, I am not a lawyer, and even less of a Chinese lawyer, but I think she either went too far, or got tricked by clever lawyers.
That's one particular social group that has free speech. It isn't the only one.
I worked at a small Rails shop a long time ago. Everyone had their Mac setup differently (they each did the setup themselves), and nobody really knew how theirs was setup. Until something broke.

Development domain names - some people used /etc/hosts, some people used pow, others used PassengerPane. For packages, a few people used Brew, some used MacPorts...

In the end we went with a standard setup where I implemented things like rvm (we had both Rails 2 and Rails 3 apps). And even created a CentOS setup script which was as similar as possible.
My favorite feature of Láadan is grammatical evidentiality, which I believe is based on real features of certain Native American languages. This is where you state how you know something, did you see it with your own eyes, hear it from a close friend, or just through the grapevine. There's even a particle for having dreamed it.

How is this different than English? For one, English relies heavily on the copula (is/to be) for statements of fact ("it is raining" vs "I see rain"), and secondly it's baked into the grammar. Stating something without evidence would sound just as wrong as "Me fail English? That's unpossible!"

The one exception might be the "uncertainty suffix" -ish.

Banning users from accessing their email accounts just for bad behavior at a public forum seems like an overkill approach. Email access should remain even if you can't access the forum.

Searching for Kaiser reveals several companies which provide a variety of services (care, raw materials, etc). Also some people call Schumacher the Kaiser of Formula 1 for his achievements. Doesn't sound like a bad username at all.
What do you get when you allow communists and their apologists, and several other parasites, into your communities, and reach positions of power?

Is there some proposal for making the type syntax valid? No type checking just JavaScript parsing code with types and ignoring it.
Pharmaseutical companies cannot just place products on the shelf without regulation. And no, they do not have some conspired place in the government rungs that gives them any sort of sway. There were LOADS of pharma companies that were denied the ability to produce a vaccine because they didn't meet the requirements.

And just like your doctors aren't incentivized to misdiagnose you to run more tests and get more money from you, pharma companies are not incentivized to mislead patients and make them think they need 10 shots when 1 will do. There are so, so many independent research groups, including several in the government, that would love to publish findings that pharma companies are misleading people. It does happen, but not often.
Yeah there is. A world where everything is someone's house and they get to make the rules is not a world of freedom.
The critique is reasonable but it's a straw man -- Nordhaus is already well aware of the critiques he raised and has responded to them.

My source: Nordhaus was my thesis advisor in 2016 and I wrote my thesis according to the same critiques Keen raised in this video, and Nordhaus responded to them... this video was from 2019.
>> I would prefer it to be longer and healthier.

So, you are fixating on "healthy" and "long" life and you are SO afraid of death that the idea of aging cure seems to be attractive. Delusion, greed, and aversion are classic poisons that are the root cause of all human suffering.

"The units may vary, but the value remains the same. You get more dollars, but they are worth less, as the purchasing power parity is diluted. See: 6.8% inflation this year."

Nope. Supply side issue. Move from service purchase to goods. Only neoliberals believe inflation is always money related.

Using that line also suggests you believe in equilibrium - another notion that we've known is nonsense since at least the 1930s.

"economically rational person"

There are no economically rational persons. There are just human beings. Surely the last year has given you an indication that rational is the last thing we are.

"I'm trying to engage you in good faith[0]."

You'll need to try harder. You don't 'engage in good faith' by trying to mind read and put words in people's mouths.

Interesting fact is that very early Indo-European likely didn't have grammatical gender. The (extinct) Anatolian languages (Hittite, Luwian) split off before Indo-European really gelled, and they didn't have gender but instead a system of animate/inanimate.

> The tools of marketers (data mining, consumer behavior analysis, surveys, market testing, etc) aren't just a veneer to be applied at the completion of a development project. Marketing, when done correctly, informs UX.

Up until a couple months ago, I thought Marketing teams/organizations were a bit hand wavy. But recently, I took a digital marketing course at Georgia Tech, which changed my perspective completely: marketers (can/do/should) apply data driven techniques.

As an engineer, I now (at least try) to think about how the feature I'm building will impact the end-user; it's easy to fall into a trap where you are writing code without thinking about your end users.
I feel motivated to go write up some marketing posts for my apps now. Thanks for motivating me :)

I was just thinking about how it needs to be a small simple habit. One post a day, and don't look at it and get nervous and delete it right after I post it.

Thanks!
The principle is similar for the speaker. Anything the speaker would say about themselves would have to be gendered accordingly.
