I think we would end up with multiple major repositories and many smaller ones. One of the first steps towards more decentralization would be an issue tracker that doesn't under numbers but hashes and that stores its content in a git repo (like the wiki already does). EDIT I noticed in the comments the Fossil already has this, interesting http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/tktview/3711fc7cfd21d7f8684...
Unpaid internships must provide education/training; otherwise they are typically illegal.
It has little to do with whether a company can "afford" it. If the worker does not provide at least $15/hour worth of value to the company, they will be out of a job.

Positions which do not provide value > than the minimum wage will be eliminated, either because the roll they fulfill can be automated at that price point or its no longer worth while to the company.
I think it's from American football - east/west is lateral movement, north/south towards/away from the goal lines.

The quality of the questions on Bernie Sanders' AMA were pretty good, but it was informative only because he didn't shy away from answering the interesting questions.

One of the Chicago Mayoral candidates did an AMA in the recent election and it was pretty abysmal. The good questions were skipped and the other answers were evasive. In that respect, Reddit lacks something an in-person interview can deliver (with a good interviewer) - the ability to push back on a non-answer and not be ignored. You also can't catch someone off guard on Reddit, really - the answers are going to be very carefully curated.
In order to get a job as a fullstack python dev, at the minimum you need to know:

- Python

- JavaScript

- jQuery (bonus for knowing Angular or something other framework)

- Basic Git skills

- SQL

- HTML / CSS

- Flask or Django

- Basic Unix skills

- Basic knowledge of algorithms and data structures

I cover how I personally approached this here:

http://alexkrupp.typepad.com/sensemaking/2013/11/2012-my-yea...

Once you have these skills, it's still going to take a couple months because every place you approach is going to ask you to do a code challenge, since presumably you don't have a well-developed GitHub profile.

The best strategy is to take a job as a consultant at a dev shop, even if it's at somewhat less than market rate. Then after a year or two you'll be extremely employable and your salary will basically double, assuming you've been using all your free time to teach yourself new skills and build a portfolio.

> Terrorism is currently just a euphemism for "enemy." We should just go back to using that title. It's way more honest. 'US removes Cuba from list of enemies' is what actually happened.

The word "terrorism" may be overused and too broadly used in many political contexts, but in this particular context it is narrowly used. The official list that Cuba was removed from was "Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Syria". The list of enemies would be a larger list.
It also reminds me a great deal of Far Cry: Blood Dragon, which used many of the same tropes.

Where do you live? Here in Minneapolis, where ramen is becoming trendy, many places have vegan alternatives.

That said, getting a really good umami flavor and rich texture in a vegan broth is hard - not impossible, but much harder than with meat. And frankly, most vegetarians are lousy cooks who don't pay attention to good textures and flavors, and most meat eaters are lazy cooks who don't learn how to get richness without meat doing the heavy lifting for them.

For vegetarian/vegan, a kombu-based broth can get that richness, but it'll take a lot of patience to make (this is also true of bone-based meat broth).
*then some other companies with similar scale and profitability can afford to do it too

The funny thing is, it was actually creationists that convinced me that evolution was true. I grew up in a fundamentalist Baptist church. Used to drive my biology teachers nuts regurgitating the arguments I'd read against evolution. Then toward the end of high school I went to a "Science Class" at my church. It was lead by some church dude that had little to no college education in the sciences. He started reading through some creation arguments from a book and it occurred to me how flimsy they were. So I started debating with him (I was just an argumentative kid and loved to play devil's advocate) and his reasoning just fell apart. I left that class immensely perturbed by my church's attempt to masquerade creationist propaganda as a "science" class. Clearly they didn't know what "science" actually entailed.

My biggest takeaway was that most of the people preaching against evolution are not even qualified to have an informed opinion on the subject. By college I had flipped camps.
You're sure they aren't watching one of the featured stories about a city or an event? At a 10 second maximum, that gives a minimum of 270 snaps - not too impossible but I think there might be more going on there if you're not too familiar with the platform.

It's a neat idea, and one I think people won't be able to appreciate until the killer app hits, possibly in fitness or high-end suits. As far as I'm concerned, it's just neat research being backed by Google with no obvious ulterior motive, and that works fine for me.
You'd be logged into your "home" instance, which gives you the permissions you need. You click a link on the remote site, which takes you (either directly via URL handler or indirectly via central site redirect) to your home instance with appropriate values filled in, and prompts you to confirm (to avoid CSRF).
It was a classic (very simple) hero's journey that strung those scenes together. And the scenes were pitch perfect riffs on eighties action movie tropes. The whole thing was incredibly on point from start to finish.

Easy. Tone down the hostility and thanks for proving my point. Despite my ignorance WRT non-US posts, a quick glance at the top /r/politics stories from the past month[1] displays the bias I mention: there is literally not a single pro-conservative post, only libertarian, liberal and anti-conservative posts. It's not my intent to prove anything however, so lack of facts to support doesn't disprove my opinion either. I posted to have a discussion, not whatever you're trying to have.

It is hard to do issues and pull/merge requests in a decentralized way

...Over the web...

I mean, Git and Linux are developed via email lists, which is a decentralized way of sending pull/merge requests, isn't it? I guess you could argue the mailing list is hosted on a server, fine. So then fine, usenet.

Yeah, email and nntp are old crufty technologies and there are obviously advantages to having a web based interface and a central place to go for a project. But git itself certainly supports a decentralized mechanism for merging.

So then the question really is, how do you decentralize a web interface, isn't it? The dvcs itself isn't the problem.
When i was just starting out (back in 1996) i simply built a website for myself, then one for a friend, then one for the company where i was working as a janitor to get some extra income to pay for my studies. Mostly for free, the company one in exchange for computer parts since they could then just write it off as tax deductible office equipment :) Basically you build up your portfolio on the low end until you find an entry level position somewhere or find that your good at selling yourself so you can start freelancing and then you roll from there.
GC does help with ABA style concurrent problems, and it also simplifies the places where you simply don't care (slow/uncommon paths). But concurrent data structures are a special case, and likely, not always the best anyway since even though they scale much better than locks, with enough writers and cores, the cache coherence traffic is going to swamp the application.

I do agree with the flexibility comment. A hybrid environment where you can pick and choose the mem mgmt strategy (and, very important, not pay in perf for things you're not using) would be great.
I don't see that comment as trying to be an accurate summary of what conservatives stand for in the US, just highlighting a few prominent issues that are sufficient to illustrate why the ideological split is so divisive.

An exhaustive or more representative listing including things that are less controversial or that conservatives and liberals agree on would be pretty irrelevant because they're not enough to outweigh the strong differences in opinion on the hot-button issues.

Simply leaving out the good bits doesn't make a portrayal a caricature unless it's exaggerating the bad bits. So it really does matter what your take is on the validity of the claims that were made, not just your opinion on what other claims should have been made.

Here goes my dream of being the first to create a CPS suit from Continuum.

It's actually a weird feeling - on the one hand I love the progress we have; on the other hand, I feel sad that I can't get to be a part of it. It also seems to me that any cool idea I have tend to become a mass-market product before I can get around to start prototyping.

Yeah, I know, the real world. Real world sucks :(.

Unpaid interns are often illegal if they are doing productive work for the benefit of a for-profit firm. For instance, in the US, according to the Department of Labor [0], for an "internship" not to be an employment relationship subject to the FLSA, including minimum wage provisions, one of the criteria that must be met is: "The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded"

No, it is fine to teach and it IS a philosophy. Objectivism is a BS philosophy, but we still teach it.

Freudian psychology is a bunch of unsubstantiated BS, but there are still entire classes devoted to it. There are still people that specialize in it.

> I wonder, isn't it working on the stack much faster than working on the heap anyway?

Working on GC-managed memory is faster still.

Remember, not all allocations involve an actual heap allocation. Conversely, not all deletions cause a 'free()' operation on the heap.
"monolingual person he might consider a C2 (European Framework) level"

I speak one foreign language at a solid C2 level, but I also scored in the 99th percentile on the GRE verbal (USA's English Language grad school entrance exam for native English speakers). I never feel fully fluent in that foreign language, even when I can pass language exams most locals can't. There's simply to way for me to match my fluency and comfort with English.

So I agree; the standard for fluency is always relative. And -- contrary to superficial appearance -- even native speakers have a wide variety of levels of competence and you can always benefit from studying more.
Can your microbiome shift in only a week, after a dietary change?
The stack and the heap are both just regions of memory, so there's nothing inherently faster about using the stack. The difference is the memory management strategy: Usually, stack variables are all allocated at the beginning of a function, and all deallocated at the end. If all of the memory your program needs is tied to a particular scope like that, then it's certainly faster than any other memory-management strategy. If you need to share data between scopes, build complicated data structures of indeterminate compile-time size, or allocate large blocks of memory (the stack is usually limited in size), then you have to do something different (like use the heap).

That said, I think the Rust approach to memory management is really interesting: try to tie all allocated memory to some scope, and keep track of when ownership is borrowed by or moved to a different scope.

The "just takes one" argument doesn't work on reddit because if the one question goes against the hive mind, it gets downvoted into oblivion and will likely never be seen in the AMA.
I'd go with option 2. With tiered pricing, you can attract indie developers with more affordable pricing.
In the case of something like Slack though, there's a huge business risk: Storing your confidential internal discussions with a random startup of questionable security practice.

Databranches: using Git as a database (2011)
Yeah, decentralizing the web interface is hard. Maybe it is the wrong question. Maybe it is, how can you use usenet to get an overview of issues and do code reviews.

Care to elaborate?
I thought they turned it into a license feature (so LT doesn't have it, only the full version does)?

But yes, I found AutoLisp to be very useful for automating things. The place I used to work for had to have the CNC machines cut out differently sized shapes from a library of shapes, so I created functions to draw each library shape for me quickly.

This is a lot easier than trying to form four mutually tangent circular arcs into an oval by constructing everything by hand.
Google Image search has such a feature too. One can drap&drop a local image to the search bar on the Google Image page. Help page: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/1325808?hl=en ; info: http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-algorithm-used-by-Google-Se...

One of the earliest such similarity image search was a research prototype on Airliner.net (ca. 2006): http://www.airliners.net/similarity/ , e.g. http://www.airliners.net/search/similarity_search.php?photo_... , http://infolab.stanford.edu/~wangz/project/imsearch/SIMPLIci... , http://alipr.com/cgi-bin/zwang/regionsearch_show.cgi

OK, that seems pretty straightforward.
It works! Very cool.

Start talking to local dev shops and startups that heavily use Python and offer to work for free (as you mentioned).

This is why I think their valuation is less absurd than it seems. Their rate of adoption among college age and younger demographics is astounding. Way faster than facebook, or twitter, or any other social network was adopted.

I think a lot of people are skeptical because the concept seems really dumb. But I've just kind of accepted that social networks get popular for very subtle reasons, some of which are non-technical.

Building a social network seems to be more of an art than a science.
That's not necessarily completely inaccurate, but terse to the point of opacity: the problem posed by unpaid labor in support of for-profit efforts is that if it is allowed, it is very easy for it to become a necessary prerequisite (e.g., as something you need to have to be considered) for paid labor in the same industry, which, if it expands to many industry, makes it potentially a matter of economic coercion to accept unpaid jobs as a means of gaining potential (but not guaranteed) access to paid jobs.
Places like San Francisco and Palo Alto have their own little bubbles too.
If you're interested in this kind of thing, Becky Stern with Adafruit is a pretty great source for DIY wearables. Lots of tutorials and a regular Youtube series that keeps you updated on the latest products and tools.

> The problem with surveys asking about behaviors is that it gathers unreliable data.

But the point of doing the surveys is not to gather reliable data -- it's to generate clickbait headlines that will go viral. Even if the sample size is 10 and p is hacked to bits, people are going to share your "Android Users 3 Times More Likely to Drop Their Phone in Toilet" blog post.
The inherent benefit to the stack is the memory region stays hot in cache due to natural use of the stack. That's your fast reusable buffer for temporaries.

In addition, of course, cleanup/reclaim of the stack space is pointer bump, so you get pointer bump allocation and deallocation, effectively.
Obviously I have the option not to use it, but we can still have a discussion about the pros and cons.

What I'm saying is that "pull requests welcome" is a really lazy way of telling someone to support themselves. That's fine if you have a unique set of needs, in that case you should be building things out specific to you.

For something like chat, most people have a very similar set of requirements, paying Slack a couple of dollars per month to handle it is awesome. Would it be cool if Slack were opensource? Maybe, but that isn't why people would use it even if it were. It works really well, there is a team behind it that is paid full time to develop new features, and we can focus on building our own company instead of using bandwidth building tools for basic functionality.

That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement, but the places for improvement in Slack aren't that it isn't open source.

I am more or less in the same boat as you. I do however think that a simple algorithm of "save people in the car" is better than "try to save objects identified as people outside the car" because it is simple and in the long run likely very effective. Making computers make moral/ethical decisions is difficult, especially with poor inputs.
How is he in any way proving your point? He provided no evidence regarding the prevalence of conservative viewpoints on Reddit. His hostility—to the extent that it is at all acceptable in a forum like this one—is justified by how simple and shallow your factual mistake was without needing an element of partisan bias.
The trend is against all three of these, but it's a slow trend.

On #1 - the issue is individual employees each have shares tied to their hire date. It's possible that someone could do some kind of financial engineering to make it look like 1, but this hasn't been done yet. This is the issue that forced Facebook to go public.

On #2 - If it's a cash purchase, the problem is less an issue. It gets tricky when the acquirer is significantly away from a funding event. The values of many high tech firms can be +500% or -80% just 6 months after a prior event. This has a massive impact on share-based acquisitions. Less of an issue with more mature companies.

All this said, it's fairly easy to see a world 20 years from now where there are much fewer public firms.
