I was lost as to context, following the mailing list thread (which was essentially just Linus' response to something I hadn't seen.)

I was in the middle to start with, and this pushes me right onto Sarah's side. Especially this:

> "I don’t think we’re going to hate each other. I think we’re going to go to Kernel Summit and eat cookies and discuss this."

You can definitely give negative feedback without being a foulmouth, especially when you're talking to people who are at work. You can be emphatic, rigorous and uncompromising without swearing or insulting anyone.

Sarah, in fact, is giving exactly this sort of negative feedback to Linus. He just needs to understand that, and that everyone is always improving how they work, no matter how many years they've been doing it, and no matter whether they invented the field.
For (European) businesses, it's not the issue of safety, but the issue of compliance. If I (EU citizen) have personal data with EU company that stores said data on US-controlled servers, they are potentially viable for breach of data-protection laws. Since these laws are EU laws, it wouldn't be a problem if EU governments would read this data, since that's governed by the same set of laws.
Sign language also has other complexities. I don't know about american sign language, but german sign language (which I learned, I wouldn't say speak) is very depending on context and direction. For example, meanings can differ depending on what you are looking at. It is not "just recognition", it is "parsing the whole scene within context".

Given the mailing list posts I've seen, at least with Theo you know the range of attitudes you're likely going to get. Heck, I got a pretty vitriolic email a while back for asking if OpenBSD wanted a donation of some unsupported RAID cards from a vendor that wasn't very supportive of OSS projects.

Linus's range of responses is much wider and more unpredictable, and he has a much larger audience.

I think he made the point quite well. "No" means "no", and they're saying "no" pretty emphatically and consistently - and no amount of "but I'll make your life so much better" trumps that.

The Theory of Evolution does not say this. In fact, the Theory is predicated on the existence of randomness and adaptation. What you're suggesting is that every behavior has a reason for existence, which is almost the opposite of the Theory of Evolution.

Again, bullshit. People with severe OCD, bipolar, schizophrenia, etc. can clearly have little or no control of their emotions and reactions. Abused children deprived of social interaction can lack the ability to even develop language. For example, http://www.tampabay.com/specials/2008/reports/danielle/
If I had the choice between Linus' abrasive style and the fake politeness in Wikipedialand, where you can needle and provoke your enemy at will provided you don't use rude words I pick Linus a thousand times over.

Linus knows what a colleague is, and Wikipedia doesn't - over there they have enemies, not opponents. The headline calls it "verbal abuse", but they don't seem to have a grasp what abuse is.

You do realize that there are massive amounts of people who are part of our world that are living in worse conditions than this tribe is? How about we focus on them first before we decide that our way of life is so superior just because a minority of us have regular access to modern medicine...

I'm positive you don't need to be an anthropologist to realize this.

I don't even understand the zoo reference. This is not a man made entrapment, it's their home. "Leave them alone" doesn't mean starting island tours.

This world cop attitude is incredibly egotistic. It assumes that we've found the superior way of life. Evidence points to the contrary when you consider the number of species we've played a key role in extinguishing and endangering with our super amazing society.

Aren't both of those O(N^2)? The first case is your standard example of nested for loops, where you run "i==j" N^2 times. In the second case, for every iteration of the outer loop, you run the inner command i times, leading to the sequence 1+2+3+4+5+...+N=N(N+1)/2=O(N^2)

What is going on in the story is more a case of for(i=0; i<N; i++){for (j=0; j<K(i); j++) {matrix[i,j]=1}}, where K(i) does not grow with the size of the problem; and (for the sake of Big-O analysis) can be replaced with a constant.

I started this project because I already work developing CMS using relational databases and there are some things that SQLs gives headaches, schema definition, migrations and denormalization for performance are those things.

So I started Quooka as an experiment to get rid of those limitations of SQL databases. Mongo was a natural choice because it was the only one I knew how to work and Flask because it already works well with mongo and mongoengine.
Swearing is not a problem. In fact, people who swear tend to be more honest than those who don't. You don't have to be polite, you don't have to avoid confrontations. What you have to be is respectful. You should never attack a person, you should attack their actions. But only after you understand.
Don't want to take us too far out into pseudo-science land, but any kind of contact with an alien probe would most likely be intermittent and not reproducible. For those reasons, even if we observed it in nearby planetary space or in the atmosphere I'm not sure anybody would take the observation seriously. Along those lines, I've always thought the Rendlesham Forest incident[1] sounded the most to me like a story of an autonomous, perhaps self-replicating probe.

It's not Chrome's fault Apple doesn't put a middle button on their mice like everyone else. Though personally I prefer 3-finger tap to using buttons at all on a PC laptop trackpad.

Even if Chrome always opened external links in a new tab with a left click, you'd still want middleclick functionality to browse the web effectively; I constantly open multiple tabs from the same domain- for instance, to open a HN comments section without navigating away from the front page.

Oh the children? Whats next, terrorists and pedophiles? Go get an education.

OK, how many kiddies in the fabulous USA live under the international levels of poverty? Around 9,000,000 ,right? 9M kids "condemned" just for living in the wrong country? And you want to interfere with proud people living their way on a island? You want to wade in and force western ideals and so on on to them?

And how dare you compare western happiness to that of a tribes people. You sound as arrogant and disgusting as we Brits must have 400 years ago. Please learn from our mistakes.

And just because your culture might well rape and murder their way to a false sense freedom, it does not mean others will or do.

How dare you so arrogantly and ignorantly judge them. People have the right to self determination, whether the West likes it or not. That is actually something I would risk my life for. That is freedom.

If the people venture out and want to be part of us, of course, we open our arms to embrace them. Mean while, leave the the hell alone.
>I find it really hard to imagine our society going back to a dark age though...

Do you though? World War I, World War II, etc.

I firmly believe there will be a WWIII in my lifetime. The US government is already a big boys club. You have money? You can join, we have money too. Look at how much the US is capitalizing off of student loans. Where do you think that money goes? It sure as hell ain't social services.

I really think that there are a few people running the country to completely militarize it at some point from a long time ago and their plans are finally coming to fruition.

All spending is going to the army. Police forces are more than equipped to fuck up nearly every city if they wanted to. At some point, the military/police will have so much force that the "people" no longer matter.

One day a switch will be flipped and it will become an entirely military country.

Once that happens, combined with Chinese forces, nuclear warfare, and global tension, I doubt anyone would survive a WWIII.

This is all just off handed bullshit-theorizing though.

The OP purports to have a way of assessing teamwork-capability based on good interview questions (and I think his questions are spot-on)...but the anecdote he closes with is too pat:

> Many years ago a CFO of a fast-growing Southern California medical products company excluded a candidate I presented for a corporate cost accounting manager spot since he believed he lacked strong team skills and a sense of urgency. This was after a 20-minute “chat.” After I mentioned that the candidate was assigned to lead an international task force to implement a state-of-the-art cost system for a F50 company he quickly relented, re-interviewed the candidate, and hired him a few days later.

As the OP describes it, the overriding factor is: what is the candidate's claimed team-related achievement(s)? In this case, it was "being assigned to lead an international task force to implement a state-of-the-art cost system for a F50 company"...but that doesn't seem enough on its own...for example, was that project successful? seems to be an equally important question...and even the answer to that doesn't definitively quantify that person's ability to work on a team.

To be fair, the OP is describing a situation in which the hiring company apparently made a decision based on first impressions (i.e. mannerisms, appearance, etc.)...which of course is just bad. However, it'd be interesting to hear more in detail what factors were used to assess the candidate that were not found in that initial interview.
You'd think they'd look for cultural fit, but instead they're looking for "growth in terms of the size and importance of the teams the person has been assigned". Feels bigco-oriented to me.
As a fellow "hipster programmer", I was also enticed by the Bellroy wallet ads...

There seems to be a line of thinking that one can only be "fake polite" or "aggressive", and that there is no in-between.

It is perfectly possible to be assertive without being aggressive - to be certain, and strong-sounding without belittling the person you're talking to.

It does require more effort, to many people, than simply screaming at them. But if you want to get the best results out of them, and avoid putting off people who simply don't want to be around someone who screams, then it's worth investing the time.

Well, that's a constructive comment. The strange irony of what you said is that it was exactly the intense bullying I received as a computer nerd in grade school that helped lead to the understanding that I am in full control of how others "make me feel".

I did this because github is slow sometimes for browsing on folders. I always like to take a look at all the project tree to see what it offers and how complex it is.

10 Dilemmas Every Startup Founder Must Deal With
Happy Birthday OpenStack How did you grow up so fast?
I've never once seen a math teacher who got more than half the class to really properly "understand" in the way that's described. I've had teachers who went by the book, I've had teachers who ignored the book. I've had teachers who were boring, I've had teachers who were incredibly engaging. None of them really reached most of their students.
I've been trying FastMail for the past two months or so and have been very impressed; it's actually better than GMail in many ways. Most importantly to me, it seems to be quite a bit faster than GMail for me.

One problem I've had is with their spam filtering. I've marked everything spammy as Spam (some 800 messages so far), but I can't figure out how to get things marked as non-spam (so that the personal database gets enabled). I've setup auto-non-spam folders and a lot of messages get routed into those, but they're not being counted as non-spam. I've also moved a few messages manually, and they also don't get counted.
I agree with you, I'm just refuting the claim that this is Github fault due to their own incompetence. What can Github realistically do except mitigate? What can _anyone_ do except mitigate?
>The feature is under Promotions, a section already laden with junk for most people.

I don't know... I don't know how Google decides mail goes into the Promotions tab, but I have no junk in there. The things that went into my Promotions tab were:

-My auto insurance policy

-A notice from my vet saying my cats were due for vaccinations.

-Some (but not all) emails from my college's Alumni association (which probably would be considered promotional)

-Emails telling me my phone bill was due.

-Email confirming a car rental.

-Emails telling me that my auto loan payment was due.

-Email from Walgreens telling me that I have a prescription that was due for refill, and to reply to that email to automatically refill that prescription.

-Some emails that sites send after you create an account with them.

All these are important for me, but I wouldn't consider any of them promotional material. I don't sign up for promotions.

I went and disabled these silly tabs...

I could be wrong, but I believe Google has been pushing the government to be able to make this public since well before the PRISM story broke.

> It's a drop in the bucket compared to what they were legally compelled to do before.

Actually, we don't know if there is a bucket or not, which is precisely what Google and others are trying to remedy here. We simply have no data on the scope of what information the government is receiving.

I'm all for providing guidance and assistance to the poor, and intervening when serious moral problems are systemic (abuse, wanton violence, diseases untreated, etc.).

Hmm ... interesting that you believe site is just glorified App Store page. You are missing the opportunity to educate and converse with your target audience. Think of app as a product and site as a marketing, education, support, and community channel.

I only have experience with iOS App Store. Things, I always find missing pursuing apps in App Store is decent amount of information about app and typically land up on developer website to learn more. I invariably ignore apps (especially paid ones) that don't provide enough information. You can't make me write check until you convince me that your product is what I need or want.

If someone is coming to your site, they most probably either trying to decide whether to buy your app or looking for support or to learn more. Use this opportunity to engage with your prospects and customers.
Please stop swearing, you're causing psychological damage.

They may well have good reasons for being hostile to outsiders. Imagine 400 years ago they were friendly and approachable, but after a succession of whalers, slavers, British kidnappers and who knows what else, quickly came to the rational conclusion that outsiders are hostile and must be fought off.

It would be more accurate to say that it is not a great advertisement for our more complex social structures to yield harmony.

> Who at Google failed to tell the truth until it served their own interests? Who decided to meekly comply rather than taking a stand?

Google didn't fail to tell the truth here, they (and others) were legally prohibited from doing so. You have to understand if Google were to simply put up a page saying, "We've complied with 1234 NSA requests", people will be thrown in prison.
