Yes, I'm pretty sure that zedshaw, who has been an HN user for much longer than you have, understands how it works. Now why don't you try reading the piece under the assumption that he isn't a moron?
Regarding this Video - I follow tptacek religously, particularly when he's talking about cryptography, and I'm always interested in what Zed is up to. And, while I seem to recall a post by Zed somewhat negative about RoR, I've never heard about this "video".

And if someone like me, who reads HN every day, and follows both Zed, and tptacek postings closely has never heard of it - it's pretty clear that next to 0% of the world even knows what Zed is ranting about.
Try directly criticizing anything Zed has written and see what you reap.

having a hard time parsing your comment, and I don't want to do too much back and forth, but:

If you go back to some HN posts linking to mailing list stuff with one of Linus' rants, there's often more than one person saying "I do not want to work on Linux because of how Linus talks".

This could be exaggeration, but it's turned off people and it turns me off. Though I agree that Linus does gets brownie points due to his usual rightness on the technical domain.

In the words of the Dude: not wrong, just an asshole.
I would agree with that, definitely. But then I would expect both sides of the story to be expressed in a more balanced manner in the articles criticizing the contents of what has been produced. I've found that more often than not, people tend to be blindsided and go for blood because it's better shock value and helps create buzz and clicks.

Something akin to: "Zed Shaw took on a complicated task, one that hasn't been fully mastered since K&R, but he still took a swing. The author knows what he's talking about, having produced software X/Y/Z. Yet, teaching C, a language that has known worldwide adoption in all layers of software for the past 30 years or so, is such a divisive and complicated matter that I feel that even a skilled programmer such as him somehow missed the mark. Here's my opinion about the good aspects and somewhat less perfect bits of Learn C the Hard Way, so that future readers will know where to exercise caution and where to relax while unleashing C's potential".

This conveys the very same opinion, but in a way that is less polarizing and recognizes that writing a book about C programming is a touchy subject, where opinions are aplenty and often strongly engrained in a long-established mindset, making any potential author a target for criticism.

But really, I absolutely agree that "You built something" is never an excuse for any behaviour, I would just like to think that it buys any person a wee bit more of the benefit of the doubt.
Well, there's a difference between speaking to vent and speaking to effect change. If you want to change things, speaking (or writing) angrily is usually counterproductive. If you just want to express yourself, then you can write however you please.

What interview questions to ask when hiring a Software Engineer, Full Stack
I didn't, but I'm presuming a specific mechanism to that, because HN really doesn't have that much moderation (just dang, as far as I know, and previously just pg very part-time.) This might be overly charitable, so correct me if you know more:

Probably these YC companies' founders—or, if they've gotten big enough, their social-media people—read HN. They see these things, and then, being wiser-than-most to how HN works, they report them directly to the HN email address.

From there, maybe dang has specific orders to do things YC company founders ask him to do, but I doubt it; probably any contact to the moderation staff asking for a "gratuitously negative" (and possibly slanderous) post about you personally to be taken down, would be taken seriously. It's just that you'd have to do such policing and reporting yourself, like the YC companies do.

What I don't expect, is that dang remembers every possible YC startup (or has some userscript highlight all mentions of their names for him or something), and then deletes posts if-and-only-if they're both "gratuitously negative" and about a YC company.

>Sounds like a recipe for the sterile PR speak we're surrounded by. If he's angry, why shouldn't he write angry?

This guy let his rage blind him so much it's hard to actually get anything of substance out of the article. I think the only real example he gave was Thomas's video. The rest was just complaints about generic behavior towards him that I haven't ever witnessed in the last 4 years I've been on this site.

Also, it makes him sound incredibly stupid. The best insults he can come up with are that people have little dicks? What is this, high school? There are lots of much better insults around self-importance that you could easily sling at this crowd.
I think most people crave community and especially for something like kicking a tenacious habit, some social support could be really helpful. Of those options, probably a very simple forum would be best.

Chat is too dependent on having a critical mass of people online at the same time. (For a niche site I visit occasionally, online-go.com, there are several hundreds of thousands of users but it's not unusual to see only 30 or so in the chat at any given moment, and of those, only two or three will be active.)

Q&A has to have some kind of purpose behind it. SO became a hub for programmers and people in related fields who had to solve specific problems on a regular basis, often the same problems over and over. It kind of suffers as a community support thing and shines as a repository of knowledge.

"Rooms" are just a partitioning of your chat or forum, and probably shouldn't happen before they become necessary.

But be prepared to spend a significant amount of effort on whatever social layer you build. Whenever a bunch of people start to interact, there will be differences of opinion and then disagreements, malicious people, well-meaning but disruptive people -- handling all that can be a huge energy sink.
> When you are an adult, being a jerk usually never pays, unless you are surrounded by jerks and you want to fit in.

Definitively not the experience I have at working in large companies.

It is a coincidence because I have had that very same discussion with colleagues last week and we collected the stories.

In our experience being a jerk always pays off if you have higher aspiration than staying in your team (i.e. you want to be promoted or move to a different team)

Our conclusion is that big companies don't fire somebody without bullet proof objective reasons and since most employees at all level are non confrontational, the jerk are never called on their bullshit. So you get the jerk accusing everybody of murder and nobody calling him on it, which is the end of any HR move to fire him. The other option is to move them around until they end up in the position where they are less toxic.

So we all ended up with variation of stories like "The boss told us he knew the guy was a jerk, and not to worry about his attempt to sink the team: nobody is taking him seriously" that eventually conclude with the guy moving to be somebody else problem until he eventually get what he wanted ( promotion, raise, ... )

it's very popular to hate apple for privacy.

it seems odd that the same people flock to google for privacy when google's entire business model rests on selling or farming it's users data in various ways. (where-as apples is selling products which you pay for)

I've said before that Apple has a business model that is capable of being privacy conscious- so I'm more willing to trust them than google.

it just seems like some very well placed propaganda.
Been there, theres not a lot to see beyond the fire station and a memorial to veterans. I first heard about it in an article about the movie Silent Hill and how the producers discovered a town that was covered in fog like the fictional city.

I noticed that being nice and pretty good all the time brings you nowhere vs anyone being meh and pretty bad all the time.

I think that's the whole point too, there's a lot of details but in the end - if you're nicer than the other guy, he'll exploit that.

In yet another set of words - which while funny is actually exactly the same concept:

batman: i'll always beat superman, he has a strong weakness.

batman: no, he's a nice guy, i'm not.
If that is an example of the "slander" Zed speaks of, his response is way overboard. It has that "more hacker than thou" tone that I find annoying in anyone (and most annoying when I catch myself using it, which is often), but I can't imagine anyone would consider it slanderous. And, it is by a no-name account, which, I suspect, makes everyone somewhat less likely to pay it any mind. The idea that something like that constitutes a years-long campaign of defamation against Zed is worryingly like paranoia.

"I didn't, but I'm presuming a specific mechanism to that, because HN really doesn't have that much moderation (just dang, as far as I know, and previously just pg very part-time.)"

This is not correct and has not been correct for the vast majority of HN's existence. There were a number of moderators in the early days, selected by pg, and there are a number of moderators now, presumably selected by dang. And, of course, everyone can contribute to moderating by flagging things that don't belong on HN.
Ah! Sorry about that.
Also, WOFF2 uses brotli instead of deflate.
I feel you. Sadly, almost no one else here does. I am yet to determine as to why, but everyone prefers smoothed-out shit to blunt truth. And the topics discussed here are not even that emotional compared to other possible alternatives.

This is also said in the context of the recent 'blabla no negativity' rule.
I think you've answered your own question, tbh.

A site becomes abusive by tolerating abusers. If someone really has it in for zed or pg or whomever, they'll find a way to say it. HN could be more moderated/less tolerant of abuse/disallow throwaways, and those people will just go elsewhere and continue to say what they want.

Personally I think zed is wanting to throw the baby out with the bath water, but that's easy for me to say because I'm not the one getting abused by that video.
I wasn't aware of that. I suppose it came with the driver dev kits? I've not really been into windows development, but I thought I'd at least have brushed up it accidentally if one could use the official MSVC compiler to produce shareware and commercial software for free?

Were there any (free) IDEs that took advantage of this? I thought one of the reasons Stevens used DJGPP was that MSVC wasn't available for free? I suppose I could just be that it wasn't freely distributable, which makes it hard to bundle with a book (at a time when people can't just go and download megabytes of data from microsoft.com).

Or maybe MSVC was free, but not the c++ part? See eg:

http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue162/52_Windows_pr...

Well the other conclusion that you have to come to is that he thinks he should not be allowed to be criticized on the Internet, which is pretty naive. The same thing could happen on reddit, 4chan, etc.
It's much simpler than that. We don't have any orders to do anything about YC companies, nor do they email us about negative posts (if they did, we'd tell them it's a public forum and there's not much we can do), nor do we delete posts. From my point of view it's a non-issue, though I understand why that's far from obvious.
Well he's writing that way. Did you even read the post? He insults the entire HN community for stuff that most people can't even recall or find evidence of.

Also, if you read the post it sounds like he's not a very active user. He is likely completely disconnected from how this community works.

What an odd rant. I don't see where it's coming from, and honestly, I expect better rants from Zed. So here's my response.

Dear Zed.

For better or worse you've made it; you've become a public figure. Your voice carries weight whose normal people's doesn't. Most people don't make it that far. And very few gets to enjoy the luxuries associated with that.

But as you've clearly noticed, there's a backside: All public figures, warranted or not, receive slanderous comments everywhere across the internet where internet egg-heads like ourselves can post comments.

Tough shit. It's a internet-wide problem. It's like a law of sorts. Should we call it Zed's law? The problem is that nobody knows what the solution is. Nope. None.

Blaming Paul for not making a special-case of you and comments written about you on a site who is supposed to be as open and transparent as possible (or at least likes to pretend so) doesn't make much sense. It honestly makes you look like an entitled child wanting special treatment others cannot expect.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but if your beef is how your public figure is reflected via HN, posts and drama like this is not likely to help.

Cheers.

> The analogy I see is that there's a large number of people working on a topic at a university. That topic is of likely commercial value.

The MIT AI Lab projets like the Lisp Machine were financed by DARPA. D stands for Defense and ARPA for Advanced Research Projects Agency. It was always expected that the research was paying back with real applications and improved defense capabilities. Remember, it was cold war money.

The Lisp Machine companies LMI and Symbolics were basically startups founded by people of the MIT AI Lab.

Stallman was at best naive. What did he expect? That government/DARPA would finance his hacker paradise without actual results indefinitely? The MIT AI Lab cost huge amount of money and was a part of a DARPA research and budget plan. Commercialization of the research was a part of the plan. The companies then should work on bringing research results into deployment or enabling more specific research - DEFENSE stuff. For example many of the early Lisp Machines went straight into SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) research.

> Nobody had envisioned that the AI lab's hacker group would be wiped out, but it was"

Maybe he should have talked to the lab director, checked with the DARPA director, should have looked at the business plans of LMI and Symbolics, etc. etc. Then he would have known what was going on.

Did he expect that Greenblatt founded LMI, Inc. to create a new computer company and did not need any people? Where should the Lisp hard- and software experts be coming from? The market? Which one? There was none. This was all new stuff, straight out of university research - financed by DARPA for DARPA. Thus LMI people were coming from the AI Lab.

Symbolics had at it best time almost 1000 employees with over 250 software engineers. Where would these people come from?
