No, it's the economics. The inherently scarce number of "others" to work for you means not everybody can amass wealth. The ability to bring other non-human categories of "others" can move the balance in the supply side (not necessarily talking about high tech, if you can train a horse - or pay someone who can - and ride it, you are ahead of the guy on foot, by example).

I imagine you're right. And quite likely part of the problem is that, paradoxically, the ability to solve problems leads to increased stress. If you can't do anything about your troubles, then you're free not to worry about them.

This is an issue that I don't see being addressed at all in the U.S. On the contrary, we see articles (rather often on HN) on how to squeeze more productivity out of those silly little bits of free time in our days.
Something to think about: a proprietary program can be delivered to its users such that they have the source code. It is "open" to the licensed users who purchased the program, but not redistributable. The license can allow those users to form a community for sharing modifications to the program with each other. "Open source" doesn't necessarily mean slapping a GPL or BSD on it and blowing it out the door.

In The Mythical Man Month, I seem to recall that Fred Brooks called a program without source code to be "incompletely delivered"!

The idea that proprietary programs are only given to users in some hard-to-modify mangled code, byte code or machine language form is not some axiom of the proprietary software business.

Why should all of these have a marketing spin to them? By that I mean a catchy name. Keyless SSL is very misleading. I guess after the stupendous success of the heartbleed bug marketing every one now wants a catchy name.

Having said that is it solving any security problems?

1. Companies don't have to give out their private key to Cloudflare but they still give them the encryption and hmac keys. So nothing really changed from a privacy or data protection point of view.

2. Now they opened up a new public API on the company's server for cloudflare to use the private key.

3. Is it simply to mitigate against another heartbleed kind of bug? Whats preventing the same bug to appear in the company's server?
No, I'm calling it "command line" because it runs on and takes input from the command line.

Glad I went back and read the end of the article. For anyone else who is about to give up and let themselves believe Facebook was unfairly moralizing in this case:

> For Mr. Letwin, that can’t come soon enough. A month after his account was disabled, he received an email apologizing, saying it had all been a mistake on Facebook’s part.

> A Facebook spokesman said a report was filed against Mr. Letwin for using a fake name, which he had not done, and a reviewer looking at his account then mistakenly thought it violated Facebook’s standards regarding promotion of violence and terrorism. But the process took far longer than it should have, he acknowledged, saying that typically, an appeal should be responded to within a few days.
> Consuming the biosphere is not gas release. It is a moral choice that individuals, communities and nations can change daily.

They can, but they don't. I don't understand your point. The choice you're talking about is being made. It's not because you don't like it that it doesn't exist. In any case what matters is what is actually done, not what could be done in an ideal world.

even if you only use your left thumb to hit space it's still faster than using , for your leader as the thumb really only hits the space key, command(if you are on a mac)/alt(windows) and maybe option/alt if you are on a mac. and it's natural to use the left keys after hitting space. whereas using any key on the right side of the keyboard after a leader press is awkward and slower because the , key is pressed with your middle finger. it's also a smaller target so it's harder to hit.

Politics are ruining videogames.

It was one of the last medium where people just didnt care,but now game journalists or even game companies give a tribune to people that are not gamers,that dont care about gaming and with whom it's all about social justice warfare , i.e. manifactured outrage, to divide gamers on things that are hardly related to gaming and make the gaming community look like trolls.

Everybody knows who i'm talking about.

I dont want video games to be like TV,or cinema. I want it to be basically interactive cartoons for children/young adults/adults,like it always has been. Not every game is suited for every audience,but adult games shouldnt be PC because fear of being a victim of social justice warriors.

And if social justice warriors want politicaly correct games,let them write games and see how successfull they are.
I’m certain that if I had children, I would be failing at my job.

I’ve hit my 30s, a period when it seems as if all of my friends suddenly have kids. That’s a priority shift completely incompatible with my goals. Startups require that you give it all or go home, routinely requiring long nights, longer weekends, and blood and toil. If you aren’t willing to put in the hours, eager replacements are standing behind you. If I fail, the women I work with will be out of their jobs.

It's this fearful attitude, lurking in the minds of bosses and employees, that is the problem facing women in the workplace who want to have children, more than anything else. (For example, I put it at the root of poor leave policies.) It's called sexism when it comes from a man, but here (from a female boss) it's clear it's just culture (American culture?).

I just had my first kid, and my wife had to go back to work at six weeks. I'm a software engineer, and she's a medical device rep in trauma. Unlike me, she can't work from home, she carries a pager, and she can't choose her work hours or reduce them. She wasn't itching to go back to work either; she loved being at home with the new baby. However, you do what you have to do. Some new moms do quit their jobs, especially if they weren't making much more than they'd save on childcare by staying at home, or if it was a crappy work environment or an unfulfilling role anyway. However, for many, it's not an option not to work, and being a software developer is actually a pretty cushy gig that I would wish on moms everywhere.

If you're afraid for yourself or someone else of having kids, go out and talk to some power moms.

I fear that this comment spurred the wrong discussion. Sexism and racism addressed in video games is not the problem -- 12 Years a Slave, She's the Man, and 10 Things I Hate About You are not the problem.

The problem is that games like Red Dead Redemption, Hitman, and Grand Theft Auto systematically reward sexist and racist behavior (tying a woman to train tracks, brutalizing prostitutes, etc.). Many refute the idea that video games can affect a player's long-term behavior, and as far as I know both sides of that argument are difficult to study and prove.

I do hypothesize, however, that these video games reinforce or at least mimic the very real disregard and dehumanization of females in society. It's not so much video games that are the collective problem, it's people.

EDIT: I am realizing this comment is being interpreted as if I were suggesting a ban on certain qualities of video games. I am not. I am only postulating some sort of parallel between video games and real life.

It seems to me that Uber and Lift are working hard to poach eachother's partner drivers. Perhaps one of them will actually make the leap to make a partner driver union with a seat on the board and a say in policy and pricing changes? Wouldn't that help them poach the other companies employees?

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic here...
> It's silly to worry about it in the context of a fictional medium.

I respectfully disagree. I think it's extremely important to have discussions about various -isms in fiction. Fiction is a huge part of how we understand and view the world around us, and if our fiction has distorted worldviews, then we should know about it.

What I took away from that anecdote instead, is that tact is a thing and so is knowing what to say when, and that maybe charged opinions on tangential issues should be left to some occasion other than when your friend is trying to show you something that she worked really hard on.

I think the great thing about IcedCoffeeScript + the ESC library is how it fits into more complicated flow logic, while allowing easy refactoring. Max doesn't really get into the otherwise impossible examples in his post.

Even if you're firing off RPC's awaiting in the middle of a loop or switch statement, you can move logic around just by shifting individual lines. Consider how simple this looks:

for user_id in user_ids
await load_user user_id, esc defer user
user.whatever()
# etc., with user

Writing that in plain Coffee or JS is impossible; using a pure async library is sort of possible but impossible to refactor.

An important addendum to this is that it really does look an awful lot like matter that happens to be dark...or to be more specific, electromagnetically inert.

That's not to say it has to be, of course we don't know for sure, but I see a lot of people on the internet apparently quite certain it's not matter at all - often for not very good reasons, or via arguments that aren't remotely that strong.

In what sense? If you mean traditional business software, maybe.

If you mean real systems programming, OS drivers and such, only when an OS vendor integrates it into their SDK.

That is how C and later on C++, pushed away all the other alternatives for systems programming.

Questions/Feedback?
Doesn't seem like a very fair or intelligent article. It basically says Uber is doing nothing good and just exploiting workers, but if I wrote an Uber clone app, no one would download it, or even hear about it. Then if someone did download it there would be only one or two drivers. Then if they traveled to another city and opened the app there would be no drivers at all.

We developers can often write an app that is technically competent, but then it never pulls in the users. In the case of Uber, they not just have a successful app and brand that people know and download, but the app also needs to have a large network of drivers in it to provide good service. The vast majority of drivers I've ever had gave me their personal business card, but I never use them since I'd have to call and negotiate a time and a price - and the price they start at is often more than just booking them through Uber or SuperShuttle or whatever. So these guys aren't getting the fares on their own, Uber is clearly providing some benefit.

nbevans made a post dripping with condescension and arrogance. mpweiher pointed that out. nbevans replied with... more arrogance and condescension. And you wonder why he got downvoted?

He's also (at least partly) wrong, and so are you. FP has it's place. But what people like you and nbevans never seem to realize is that the rest of the programming world is neither stupid nor ignorant. Yes, there are better ways of working than the ways that we work. Yes, we don't know all of those ways, even though some people do. But that's true for you, too. There are people who are ignorant about FP. There are also people who are both smarter than you and more experienced than you, who do not use FP for good reasons. But you and nbevans arrogantly tell us that once we learn enough, we'll see that you're right. Your inexcusable assumption that everyone who disagrees with you has to be both wrong and ignorant is why you're getting downvoted.
