It's an interesting counter-point, but I'm not sure it's an example to be lauded; most of her complaints were found to have no basis in fact, and she's likely poisoned any future legal suit she might wish to bring.

Additionally, she's incurred significant personal liability in the process.

> She may have to deal with legal repercussions because of her actions on Twitter, but I can't help but think that nothing would have changed had she kept silent or quietly hired an employment lawyer after being forced out.

I can't help but think the court of public opinion has been used to bludgeon an opponent, not achieve justice.

The public absolutely lacks the facts necessary to judge the merits of the accusations, and the objectivity necessary won't be forthcoming through inciting angry internet mobs. This wasn't something as simple as Sterling's overt racism -- and even then, the public's ability to observe and act on his overt racism wasn't possible until it saw the cold light of day through objective and verifiable evidence.

The safest and likely most productive way for GitHub to be held to account, if GitHub as an organization needed to be held to account, was by providing a clear, objective statement of the allegations, vetted by her lawyer, and if possible, a tenacious lawsuit and refusal to settle for anything less than a public statement.
The difference is that when she did that, she wasn't getting sued. The point of the article is, when matters have reached the court of law, keep mum and let the lawyer do the talking.
Where do you think it should be? Back at %WinDir%\HOSTS or somewhere else? Does it really matter where it is, anyway?
I think they're trying to say that if someone is likely to make just the one connection to your site, and then never fetch further pages, then you don't want to turn keep-alive on. There would be no point maintaining the connection if the client isn't likely to use it.

Imagine you run a site that provided a common javascript library. People are encouraged to add a link to fetch the .js file from their 3rd party webpages. So most clients contacting your server will be there to fetch one file only. Even if the user continues to browse the 3rd party website, they won't make further requests to your server. One connection, one request. Here, keepalives would be a bad idea.

How much private information is someone willing to provide (knowingly) for an ad supported browser?

Sexual orientation? Medical records? 24/7 location tracker? Banking status? Purchase records? All private correspondence? Check all, and you get a nice fast browser in the phone with integrated e-wallet, e-medical, e-dating, and email.

When you ask how much someone is willing to pay for their privacy, we are comparing a product with uncertain hidden cost vs informed priced products. The result will always end up the same: you get lemons until the information asymmetry is solved.
Reading more into the article Elon's SpaceX has a genuine argument. The US Administration specifically put certain Russian dignitaries (some of which are part of Russia's space program) on the sanctions list for Russia's involvement in Ukraine. SpaceX brought it up with the Federal courts which the US Administration should have already enforced.

Now on the flip side it seems that SpaceX is putting their relationship with NASA as a priority. You would think they would want Russia as a client in the future as well but I think that will never happen now.
There's a lot of problems with using radios (particularly ham radios) for this:

1) "over-regulated by evil organizations like the FCC and similars shits around the world" yet using technology that is only available for use because of the FCC. If the FCC didn't set aside radio frequency bands for non-commercial use, this project would be infeasible because the radio bands would be in use already. The FCC and its ilk is the only real reason that ham operators can operate - the frequencies have been set aside for licensed amateur use.

2) "transmissions are anonymous" but only in data - radio location is as old a location technology as radio itself. Many GA aircraft still use radio beacons as fallback when GPS and VOR signals go down. It's simple, anybody can do it, and unless you're on the move, you will be found.

3) "We don't give a fucking shit about prohibitions over the use of encryption. fuck you NSA." And yet it's probably not the NSA who will care the most, but the FCC (ironically the group with the specialized equipment vans capable of finding you). Worse, if too much non-licensed, encrypted communication happens over radio (especially the frequencies reserved for ham radio), it's possible that the FCC will revoke the non-commercial use of the airspace, which would cause a whole host of other problems. That frequency space (which includes a number of harmonic frequencies throughout the radio spectrum from ULF to UHF) is ridiculously valuable, because it's a finite and highly contested resource.

I applaud the concept and idea, and cringe over the consequences and ignorance thereof.

I think the reality is that the vast majority of programmers don't find themselves in situations where the boxing of values causes obvious performance penalties. At least, not at the scale that shows up.

So, in general, most libraries just ignore collections of primitive types.

This is already in the cards via the commercial crew development process. SpaceX has already flown a pressurized capsule and returned it safely to Earth several times, they are currently working on a manned capsule which will be one of the most capable manned spacecraft in quite some time. And it will almost certainly be used to ferry US crew to the ISS.

However, a lot of people don't realize that the commercial crew program is not fully funded by congress. There's a little bit of funding for developing certain novel aspects of manned spacecraft, which has been doled out to the current commercial crew hopefuls (SpaceX, Boeing, and SNC). But, even if any or all of those companies deliver a capable manned spacecraft there's no guarantee whatsoever that there will be money available for a contract.

One of the important things that Musk is doing here is drawing attention to that fact.
They're really re-inventing the wheel here, there's nothing there that fldigi or soundmodem doesn't do better. AX.25 is built into linux. With that, soundmodem, and a radio you can route whatever traffic want over a radio link.

On the bright side maybe this will help encryption become legal for ham radio.

>> We may think that we're coding experts, but throw us some threads and we'll screw up the code for them.

I dispute this.

With a functional* approach to writing discrete, modular code with locking as fine-grained and minimal as possible, it's not that hard.

Lot's of threaded servers have appeared. They are, as others have said, absolutely everywhere.

But isn't tech is a change agent in itself? Most tech by it's very nature emphasizes the individual by making them less dependent on their immediate social context. This applies to everything from the internet to the washing machine.

Basically, most technology stimulates people to think and act more like Westerners.

Also, taking this into account is raising the bar very high for SV, where most companies already have problems recognizing the minor differences between them and fellow Westerners.

QuickC was their branding for a 'lite' implementation of Microsoft C in the late 80's. It was cheaper than Microsoft C. Visual C++ did not exist yet. Hell, C++ barely existed at the time. IIRC, it was intended to be a competitor to TurboC from Borland.

The compiler was a bit too quick. i.e. it was pretty buggy. I started with it, and quickly moved on to TurboC. Working with a compiler that could correctly compile a for loop made learning the language a lot easier.

They re-branded GWBasic (bundled with DOS) into QuickBasic. There was also a QuickPascal. IIRC, neither QuickPascal nor QuickC lived very long.
