I don't know if people who have not experienced it (or learned how to recognize the pattern of subconscious association) will ever understand it.

It sucks being sucked into your own black hole and I do not believe trauma victims walk into their own black holes willingly. It's a state of mind and it can be learned to be dealt with, but it requires strength.

There are lots of people who live assuming they are in control of every thought and reaction they have. Sometimes this is a rationalization to prove to themselves that they will always have control: it is meant as an affirmation because they fear losing control.

But it denies the experiences, intuitions, and most importantly - the emotional, hormonal, and physically chemical responses of others. We are human. But we are animals too, and as animals we are subject to some 'laws' of our own physicality. People are supposed to learn coping strategies to deal with stress and negative emotions. But trauma victims rarely learn these strategies, and instead learn to pick up on tiny red flags and measure people intuitively on a scale of abuse potential (which is typically heavily biased by correlative relationships).

Do you want to live in a world where everyone is perpetually judged as enemy/non-enemy, but you are constantly told by culture that your intuitions are ridiculous and irrational? Because as a trauma victim, the conditioned response based on experience tells you different even if you are a very smart trauma victim (in which you know that it's based on an outlier from which you can not judge the entire populace). Still, it can be hard to override the physical response to this mechanism - such as hypertension and other indicators of adrenaline release.

But they don't sell $10,000 headphones direct. And Beats has the same model: "same as the stars use to mix their tracks".

Of course that's complete garbage, but its a much easier sell when the only headphones you sell are an affordable $200-400 range with "justifiable" reasons for it.
You can work full time, but get a 4 months vacation every year. If your employer don't offer unpaid vacation - do it when changing job.
I would gladly work less and be paid less; in fact, I have done exactly that. 6 hour days and just not come in whenever I want. But now that I'm corporate drone I don't have that option.
The interesting point that no one is discussing here is his assertion that the research program was changed in reaction to the hippies, to focus on tools of social control instead of ways to reduce time in wage labor.
The .Net platform is a well engineered development stack and learning it would only become an issue with regards to opportunity costs. Time spent learning .Net is at the expense of learning something else. Only you can judge whether or not that's a worthwhile investment of time.

Now, to answer your question more directly. The .Net stack is excellent platform for building any type of application that can execute the runtime. The platform is mature, runs many large websites, enterprise applications and cloud applications. It can do anything the MEAN, LAMP and Java stacks can do. The differences in these platforms exist in a somewhat narrow range of features that these stacks were focused on (ie, performance/async vs rapid app. dev vs. mobile dev vs maintainability).

In addition to this, the CLR and core framework has been open-sourced by Microsoft. A Linux runtime and implementation of ASP.NET are all planned to officially release sometime this year. I personally feel this will give .Net a big shot in the arm, so to speak, with regards to adoption outside of its more traditional domain (enterprise development).
Go on. I'd like to see how telemarketing is useful. For me, it's a more demeaning job than being a prostitute - at least in the latter case, two parties engage in a mutually beneficial exchange of value. The job of a telemarketer is to trick a person into wasting his/her hard-earned money on a subpar product the person doesn't even need.

You are assuming that working less hours means earning less money. An obvious enough assumption.

Well, that's false.

First, the actual mean work-week is not that high, once you take unemployment into account: some people are working their ass off, but many others either have precarious part-time jobs (fewer hours, but often no reliable schedule), or don't work at all. Reducing the official "full time" work-week would merely force the capitalists to re-allocate work a bit more equally. This will mean less unemployment, and less expensive unemployment insurance —which plays a big role in compensating for the loss of gross revenue.

Second, we could consider allocating less money to capitalists, and more to workers. The ratio used to be 60/40 in the 70s. Now it is more like 70/30, if not worse. Taking that ratio back can easily compensate for 20% cut in our working time.

Of course, such a change is impossible to initiate through individual action alone. You did capture the current conundrum of the isolated proletarian: work one's ass off, or don't earn enough. But there is a third alternative: rise up and change this rotten world.

Not easy. But as history has proven to us time and again, the world can change.
15 years ago, a french socialist government passed a law that shortened work weeks from 40h to 35h. The result was a giant mess, the institutionalization of extra-hours, and absolutely no effect on unemployment.

I don't see how working less solves the real problem here: how to improve wealth distribution.
I think delegation or proxying is an important feature in a direct democracy platform that I see missing here. It allows people without the technical expertise to make an informed decision by allowing a trusted third party to make the decision for them.

I believe this would give rise to something like we have today where policiticans collect proxies (votes), however it would be a more ephemeral relationship since people could take their voting rights back if unsatisified or if they felt strongly on an issue. I think this would create a more balanced dynamic then we currently have.
I've seen this before as well, when going from Windows to Slackware. It's only happened to me with certain video cards, but notably with Intel's 945 chipset (the article mentions that, with the VirtualBox bug at least, Intel is not affected).

A few thoughts ...

First, tails scrubs memory (or something like that) when you shut down - should they be scrubbing vram as well ?

Second, wouldn't it be quick and simple to "scrub" vram by filling it up with intensive usage after working on sensitive information ? What happens if I watch 2 minutes of 1080p video - wouldn't we expect all previous framebuffer data to be flushed at that point ?

Finally, I would be very curious to see how this changes as you work with multiple graphics cards in a multi-monitor setup. I tend to have all of my VMs in windows confined to a particular monitor that is driven by its own graphics card - presumably those guest operating systems are only accessing that framebuffer ?
It's on your wrist, for one.
The apple.com website in 1998 April
During the 70 year US superpower reign, there have been zero major wars between history's powerful nations (Germany, China, Japan, Italy, Spain, Britain, France, India, Russia); there have been no major wars in Latin America (eg Brazil invading and destroying Colombia); and there have been no more world war equivalents. The worst we've seen have been very small scale, eg between India and China.

That's not a coincidence, it's a benefit provided by the US military's overwhelming superiority.

The US military has also taken an extreme share of the burden of keeping global trade / shipping lanes open and safe for operation - and it has done an extraordinary job at it.

The USSR wasn't going to just stop mid way through Germany, and Russia was obviously not going to just stop at Georgia. Who is going to act as a big enough deterrent to them? The same countries that prevented genocide in Europe's backyard in Kosovo? No, only the US is a powerful enough threat to Russia to keep them from going on a non-stop annexation spree.
> The US has a better quality of life when compared to all of Europe which is why a tiny Nordic country is usually used.

Perhaps if you average all of Europe which is a couple of dozen countries however against specific large countries (say the UK, France, Germany) then I'd say it's not that clear cut.

Indeed look at the US, the disparity between the poorest state and wealthiest state is as great as the disparity between European countries.

The US is materially more wealthy (largely by want of having the worlds largest currency and the PPP boost that gets you) however the UK (for example) has shorter working hours, better social welfare system, free at the point of access socialised healthcare, 28 guaranteed vacation days a year, maternity and paternity leave and we are the nearest politically to the US.

All things been equal I'd prefer to live in France or Germany than the US quite frankly.
autism is now pretty broad. spectrum broad. aspergers is gone. the article seems to insinuate that retarded is no longer going to be a valid state, and most affected by mental retardation will be labelled as autistic spectrum disorder.

i think the whole idea of promoting a label that allows you to speak of someone with a severe illness where they are non verbal and unable to look after themselves, and someone who doesn't make "enough" eye contact, "in the same breath" is pretty dangerous. particularly dangerous when those who create or make things, on whom most progress depends, tick the box.

the euphemism treadmill will therefore eventually accept "autistic" pushing off earlier terms.

in fact i can already see technically minded people labelling each other and themselves autistic, jokingly.

my prediction is that autistic will become an insult and will eventually be replaced by a newer more politically correct term.
Right now it's certainly closer to 30% than 5%, but I imagine a well made $100 Apple device would sell really well in India and China. I doubt it would be a good investment for Apple, but the problem isn't that there aren't enough people to sell to.
Go read it.
> Also it's hard to take an article seriously when it cites Marx, whose theories obviously don't work in the real world, as humans are competitive to varying degrees by nature.

I find this a curious objection to Marx, as if anything a major part of Marxist thinking around class struggle is about how to stimulate the working classes to stop silently accepting the hand they've been dealt and organize to rise up and demand more and to compete against the bourgeoisie the same way Marx describes the bourgeoisie as having outcompeted feudalism. A large part of the problem for the working classes, according to Marx, is that they buy into the capitalist idea that people are paid what they deserve, rather than what the capitalist can get away with.

Furthermore, Marx spent quite a bit of time praising capitalist competition, as an absolutely essential pre-requisite to create the economic efficiency required to make socialism viable. The first chapter of the Communist Manifesto for example, starts as a homage to the advances brought about by capitalism, and first towards the end does it turn to criticism of where capitalism was going.
Feature, obviously. Your boss wouldn't want a pesky union in his company.
Sad to hear about your situation. A very close friend of mine is in a similar one, and I see how his life is. It's hard. I always tell him he's lucky to have a lot of faith, otherwise I don't know how he would have coped with it (I wouldn't have been able to, in his shoes).
I think the article's author, with that very detailed description, intended precisely to stress the huge gap between both attitudes in conflict: the child's mentality of those defending the need of a safe space on the one hand and the grown-up mentality of those organizing the debate on the other.
Here is my (completely unsupported) prediction...

People involved in "safe spaces" or passing out fliers against "rape culture" (not rape, that's a crime and a different subject), generally, on average, after college, don't enjoy happy long term rewarding relationships, successful careers nor make a lot money nor contributions to the world.

When I was in college in the early 90's I flirted briefly with the emerging "PC" movement, (many of the principals which I support in theory). I quickly distanced myself when I perceived the pervasive underlying negativity and unhappiness.
Strange attractor.

It's not the we can't enjoy ourselves, it's that the exhaustion of work affects the kind of enjoyment we seek. Instead of going for a nice, long empty walk for free, we feel we have to spend $30 at the movies. Or we don't have enough time to cook, so we spend $50 on a restaurant. Both of these activities keep the "economy" flowing, by constantly moving money out of our hands.

I don't believe us working hard enough to ensure that we can only entertain ourselves by spending money is a diabolical plan. But I think the evil part is when we're influenced to think that we need to spend all that money on ourselves...
How I become a hacker
I don't think that node is a POD type because it holds two reference members. More on this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4178175/what-are-aggregat...

In particular, node does not have a trivial copy-assignment operator. Further below it seems that classes/structs containing references do not have a standard layout. Hence, it is not a POD.

Also, the standard does not guarantee anything about your usage of reinterpret_cast.

Maybe the code you provided works on your particular implementation, but I'm willing to bet that it violates the standard in several ways.

EDIT: cool trick though. I forgot that a name is in scope and refers to itself just after it is declared, i.e., that you can refer to nil while constructing nil.
If that was compelling, we would still wear wrist watches to tell the time with. We don't: it's not that much harder to take out your phone.

And anything more information intensive than the time is going to be even harder to access on a watch.

And we still have to keep our phones around anyway - the watch is just a conduit to them.

Java has no notion of "taking the address of an object" because you never have an expression that refers to an object directly. You only have the addresses, so there's no need (or way) to convert objects to their address.

And it's all pass by value (for all values you could have - numbers, addresses, booleans, whatever).
It was made in such a way that it maximized productivity (at a steep price for factory workers), but it created a huge boom in employment. It had lots of bad sides, yes, because of all of the trade-offs that came with it. But a steep decline of the work-week is necessary at some point.
At the risk of stating the obvious: it's hard to excel at this level in two different skill sets that take concentrated effort over years to become proficient.

What this process seems to be tuned for excluding potential candidates. And if the end result of many many interviews is the idea that the talent pool outside silicon valley is poor, perhaps that reflects the focus of the approach.

I suspect that it is very likely that this process ends up excluding very high-level producers.

Just as a sidenote, the Rabbis determine that a fetal calf does not count as meat, so one could actually cook a calf in its mother's milk, according to Jewish law.
Sorry for not phrasing that better, I definitely would portray the scenario in the same way that you do, but I didn't want to distract from the main point. I probably should have phrased it "not globally attractive" instead of the negatively toned "not super attractive" but even that probably isn't nuanced enough.
Great points that I agree with. For many people the ubiquitous phone has replaced the previous need for a watch. Now if someone wears a watch it is typically solely for fashion.

If like you said, a watch could stand on its own as a communication/fitbit device then it might take off. Perhaps Apple is simply out front here?

Noble intent, poor execution.

Consider that people in oppressed groups (women, victims of sexual assault, ethnic minorities) have had their legitimacy questioned and denied throughout most if not all of history.

And then along comes you, the noble truth-seeker. Probing and questioning their views. Looking for logical holes. What wonderful subjects these people make for your rhetorical sparring!

The reality is that your intentions are good but from their perspective, chances are that you sound pretty much the same as the last few millenia of people that have shouted them down and questioned their legitimacy. Give them room to express their views, even if you think they're wrong, because this is something they are often denied the right to do.

The solution is simple but not easy. Make sure you're listening and reading a hell of a lot more than you're speaking and writing.

I 100% believe your intentions are good, by the way. Just understand that intent is not magic.

This part:

This is a pretty bad opinion piece using scare quotes,
personal attacks and anecdotal commentary.

And this part:

It's disappointing to see this up-voted since people
here aren't interested in a debate, but just to
affirming there own views on the subject.

And some people are probably downvoting the vindictiveness and prejudice you hold and make evident in this part:

I pretty glad I got out of the mainstream tech industry when I had the chance.

And maybe some are downvoting the prejudice and spite you demonstrate overall. Hope your day gets better.
Josh Tetrick's food revolution: saving the world one egg at a time
YC accepts non-profit groups assuming they have a high return of value (nb. not necessarily money).

The way threads here go when TempleOS comes up, there are definitely people who believe it to be of great value. You clearly believe it to be of great value if you think it belongs in the MOMA, so surely YC would at least consider amplifying the project.
Honestly, the author seems to be somewhat delusional about what America is like. People choose to work a lot because that enables them to have greater purchasing power. When I read phrases such as:

"As technology has boosted productivity into astronomic levels, we have not seen any shortening of the workweek or even a relaxing of the lunch break in fact we have seen just the opposite."

Of course not, the technology enables our work to be magnified. The company wants us to continue working to the same extent because they get more "bang-for-their-buck"

I would also like to say, I recently accepted a job paying about 20% less simply because I would be able to work slightly more relaxed. Ironically, it was a bank, as opposed to Google, Apple, Twitter, etc. As my friends all went and worked at those places, I noticed they had to work 50 - 60 hours a week pretty regularly.

Instead I chose to take a job where the work would have a larger impact on the company (i.e. I had more weight because I was more technical), and I could work less because I could out perform their expectations. Selecting my job in such a way is me selling my skill set for less money, but more time.

Usually people want to always maximize income, and because I am working on side projects I indeed feel I am maximizing income. However, the author seems to ignore this simple fact of life. Working less might be better for some people, it may even be better for the company... but there is no way in hell people are going to EVER want less in life. If this seems to be the case, then you likely don't see the full picture (i.e. perhaps they value freedom over money).
> Bruni points out, for instance, that among the American-born chief executives of the top 100 companies in the Fortune 500, just about 30 went to an Ivy League school or equally selective college

Wait, so 30% went to an Ivy or equivalent, even though those schools probably only graduate 1% of bachelors degrees? That's a hugely significant difference
