Facebook's strategy to create separate apps is a good one, but Rooms seem rather niche. Facebook groups are better for many purposes since they have access to notifications and the newsfeed. Reddit probably works better for large groups and allows anonymity too (though not on a per Reddit basis). So Rooms work for groups where anonymity is valuable (ie. sharing secrets, controversial opinions, ect) and where the groups aren't too large. Here, the discovery mechanism being overly complex actually does provide an advantage. It makes it more likely to be "underground" and hence cool.
What does it say that there's no commentary here? Collective guilt over the human cost of maintaining these services? I also wonder how a site like Ello would deal with this, if they became big enough to need this kind of content moderation.

I can't imagine having to look at the worst humanity has to offer for eight hours a day. It should merit hazard pay and unlimited psychological counseling at the very least.

Since I don't have such downtime due to waiting for compiles, I'm not entirely sure what advice to offer.

Except:

Maybe you should spend that time trying to fix your long compile/recompile times. Odds are you're re-compiling too much, or your binary is quite monolithic and includes items that could be put into separate DLLs/shared objects.

Yeah, but they don't ship with international keyboards and Canonical don't test on System76 hardware in any special way, so it can break on any upgrade.
As someone who grew up in the 1980s, I think the pop-culture argument could go both ways, as the nerds got their revenge, and there were also movies such as War Games (1983) and many other portrayals of genius computer hackers. 'It's hip to be square', as the song went.

More importantly, the PC industry crashed in 1984 as did the video game industry. To some extent, it was all perceived as as a pop-culture fad akin to disco and it retreated into the underground. There was also a general cultural shift within the computing world from mainframe systems to UNIX/DOS/C, and I suspect that may have had a greater effect on women's CS enrollment than anyone has identified.

> > Catholic charities =/= Catholic Church

> Not true.

No, entirely true. Catholic Charities USA is a federation of various US-based Catholic charitable organizations (and is itself a member of a similar global organization, Caritas Internationalis), but it is not the same thing as the Catholic Church, nor even the same thing as the charitable activity of the Catholic Church, nor even the same thing as the charitable activity of the Catholic Church in the USA.

> While this is about Catholic Charities of Baltimore, their national office is Catholic Charities USA

No "Catholic Charities of Baltimore" does not have a national office, they are non-profit organization founded by the Archdiocese of Baltimore. They are a member organization Catholic Charities USA (a much newer organization), but CCUSA doesn't run or direct its member organizations.
Don't mind him, it's a common prejudice most "tech" people have against everyone else. Sometimes, I even catch myself falling into that mentality.

I am coming from the opposite direction - very good coder but not a very good business man or graphics designer. I am also a new father. I always appreciate tech industry articles written from a non-"techie" perspective. My life philosophy is to know at least a little bit of everything, so that my solutions in life can be better informed.

Agree completely. The blog post was one guy sharing his experience to a community likely to be interested. Even if their main message is "this is all-consuming", YC are trying to attract a diverse range of founders (women, minorities, those with families) because it's likely to discover and solve more problems than had by the typical founder. Stories from those will be useful for others.

And, as you said, the life described in the blog post is hardly different from that of a typical worker or small business owner. I run a small business I started 15 years ago, but I still do a late night most weeks where I miss my son's bed time, and have commitments outside of work that means missing some weekend days.

If you work online, you can work after kids have gone to bed, or get up early to knock off a couple of hours before they wake up, etc.

No monotheism means that you only believe in one god.

I know very well what monism means so don't worry about how much I read on that account.

Of course monism can mean there is only one supreme being if that supreme being is being said to be the creator of the world we exist in. It's just a matter of definition. And again the objection to the quote is the primary center for this discussion and in that context it's not clear exactly what is meant with creation.

One of the biggest misconception in the startup world is that there is a 1:1 relationship with the unquantifiable "hustle" and time spent in front of a computer.

Long story short from me: a few years back my company was courted by one of the big guys. We had a staff of four and immediately thought "this is it." They asked a lot of us in this "discovery" process, and I was routinely working 18 hour days, and my productivity dipped further with each day. As I clamored to work more and therefore "get more done," I ended up getting less done than ever.

The deal fell through but not due to not coming through for them.

Fast forward to last year when my wife and I had our first kid. It's an immediate hit to your flexibility. For the first few months I felt helpless, I wanted to work all day long but I was exhausted. The more I tried to sneak work in, the less I got done, the grumpier I was and the less time I enjoyed with my family.

It took months, but I realized that productivity in limited time is about efficiency and delegation. It's about finding what time-consuming responsibilities can be handled by others (either through charity or payment), it's about reducing recreation (or scheduling it for a certain time).

I spend less time working now than I did when "hustling," but I get more done. When I sit down in the morning it is time to go. I don't check Facebook when I work. I don't go out to lunch, unless I'm meeting someone.

Hustling is about effort, not time invested. Don't fall into the trap that says you can't beat someone with more time to spend on something, you just have to work that much smarter.

It's a mistake to call it "balance," it's really about efficiency. Don't waste your time with your family and don't waste your time with your company - and finally: know that most people do waste time.
I guess if I were trying to make your point, I'd point to Brendan Eich / Condi Rice rather than no-name CTO with an actually very offensive twitter history (multiple fire-worthy tweets for a high-profile job IMO) vs name-brand celebs.

What a rude and judgemental thing to say.

I am in a similar position to the author, only with a small business in place of a startup, and my lifestyle is hardly different. If you have a day job and a young child, you are typically not going to see your child weekdays outside of 7-8am and 6-8pm.

This would be a normal situation for almost everyone in a 9-5ish job and with a commute.
> 3) Outlaw rent control. Now you have more abundant housing.

The biggest problem preventing more housing being built now isn't rent control, it's zoning usage and density laws. Most of the time low-density zoning is enforced for the benefit of existing house owners to artificially inflate the value of their properties. This (and Proposition 13, a law that's supposed to provide relief for property tax rate increases but ended up being a huge disincentive to sell real estate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_13_%2819...) are the major factors keeping housing supply from increasing to meet market demand in California. Rent control is wrong, but it's not the biggest problem.
It works for me, and doesn't obviously glitch in the sense of dropping frames, but it feels wrong. The animations all start really slow, and the curves are way off the curves of OS-native features that do a page-at-a-time swipe. Also, if you continuous scroll with the trackpad and backtrack your fingers even a little, it jumps back a section. Still, I am not sure it is easy to fix these issues given what the web platform offers today, and kudos for not blatantly dropping frames.
> The Catholic Church has hundreds of billions of dollars in expenditures.

The Catholic Church is not a single expending entity.

> The Vatican has control over some portion of church revenues.

The portion the Vatican has control over are the Vatican's own revenues, including things like the Peter's Pence and the surplus returned by the Institute for Religious Works to the Vatican each year. This is in something like the low hundreds of millions annually, which isn't exactly something to sneeze at, but quite a lot of the existing operations would need to be curtailed to support the digitization of the library holdings without a separate revenue stream for that purpose.

> While the Vatican itself may not have direct and absolute ownership over the assets of the Church, it does have significant control over them.

It really doesn't. I mean, I suppose that in theory the Pope could simply start deposing bishops that refused demands to turn over local assets to the Vatican for its use, but there wouldn't be a global Church very long if that happened.
No, he has not! Didn't know about that, but I'll tell him to definitely look into UK banks and apply. It might be a great match as he knows all the old tech banks are based upon but also the new stuff they could use to make their systems better. Thanks for the insight :)

If there was no rent control, and all renters were feeling the pressure of the price increase, there would be significantly more political support for allowing more and denser construction.

> By mid-August we discovered that a former German employee—whom I had suspended in 2010—was cultivating business relationships with a variety of organizations and individuals by shopping around the location of the encrypted file, paired with the password’s whereabouts in the book

I remember reading Daniel Domscheit-Berg's (or was known as Daniel Schmidt, I think) book "Inside WikiLeaks", which talked about Assange's increasing paranoia.

I'm sad to read that the former German employee was once someone very important to Wikileak's early days and, if you read the book, someone who was very close to the man himself.

I'm suddenly more worried about Julian Assange and his paranoid/conspiracy theory view of the world
Calling someone a conspiracy "nut" is not an argument, and doesn't add anything to the conversation besides an ad hominem fallacy.

> I just don't have the patience to sit and list out why his other points are equally silly for anyone versed in the space.

In other words, your argument is: if it isn't self-evident to you that I'm right and Assange is wrong then that can only be because you are so profoundly ignorant that it is not even worth making the effort to educate you, or even to point you to a reference.

You'll have to pardon me if I don't find that convincing.
> It’s pretty easy to look at these messages and see young males acting out in hopes of attention. But what societal and psychological dynamic is at play that they target a female at such a disproportionate rate to a male?

Could be a million things. How about testosterone, the sexualization of just about everything online and on TV, and the courage brought on by anonymity on the internet? Of course, asking what "societal and psychological dynamic is at play" shows a very clear naivite on Ms. Greer's part. That is an impossibly difficult question to answer. And like all other overly-broad, overly-difficult questions, it will never be taken seriously.

> Running these numbers through a statistical significance test confirms what should be obvious to anyone following Gamergate: with a 99.9% confidence level it is harder to be a woman than a man in the game industry, independent of what you say or do.

Maybe, but let's not forget what incident started Gamergate: Zoe Quinn; an entitled, unethical, and hypocritical developer (female or otherwise).

Furthermore, I'm sure it's more difficult to be woman pilot, a woman programmer or a woman CEO than their male counterparts. This has been known for a while now. I'm not sure why Gamergate et al. think they stumbled across some novel sociological phenomenon.

C# has very defined behaviour that when "ported" to C++ is going to result in similar speed hits. Allocations are zero'd out. boxing/unboxing objects, array bounds checking.

GC is going to be the big hit as you're still going to need to pay for that even in C++ land. I'm not really seeing what you'd get over just C# with a more modern JIT unless you start converting to non-safe C code and doing sneaky c stuff behind the scenes (and I'm sure absolutely nothing will go wrong*).

The webgl stuff is fine to not be bound (I'm assuming it's being converted to js anyway?) but anything running in the plugin better be.
