Do you believe that our industry employs black people (a demographic, which, at least in the US, have been fairly clearly historically discriminated against, until the passage of legal codes of conduct) at a rate commensurate with their relative skill and interest compared to non-black people?

> The problem with your remark is the implicit assumption that there is more "shame" in the lack of trust Native Americans have for whites than in the atrocities committed by whites that engendered that lack of trust

I don't see any reason to infer that message from the remark in question. The remark is about the refusal and distrust, and notes that the distrust is a shame. In neither states nor implies anything comparative about the relation between that and any other situation that may or may not also be a shame, including, inter alia, those that contributed to the one being discussed.

So not an intern, that's for sure.
For me, it's because I hop between development machines, and pushing/pulling a branch is much easier than the alternative of synchronizing files manually among said machines.

Also, so that if something goes awry with my dev machine for whatever reason, at least my work is saved.

Also, to make it easier for a colleague to review my code before it gets merged into something.

Also, becuase it means I can use GitHub's PR system instead of doing it on my machine (thus providing some additional record that my code got merged in, and providing an avenue for the merge itself to be reviewed and commented on).
You can make radios that do really wide swaths with really good performance. ICOM already makes receivers that go from 50KHz to 6GHz with little performance issues other than those related to antenna interfacing. In another post you mention the Astro and Astro25 radios (XTS3000/XTS5000), if we look at a Spectra as an example, the UHF R2 units do 438-470, thats 33MHz, the XTS3000 has a 66MHz tuning range it can work with (403-470MHz for example) the XTS5000 has a range of some 90MHz (380-470MHz for example)... this is achieved through more finite control of the analog portions of the transceiver circuits and through software defined first IF. So we are already seeing the fruits of SDR in some 20 year old Motorola products.

We can go in the opposite direction and look at how older radios like the Syntor had tunable working bands of 12 or less MHz, and theres always the MX300 series, with its crystals and tuning needed after that.

As the quality and bandwidth of RF parts gets better year over year we will be seeing more improvements like this. So, in conclusion, I do not see how making one common base transceiver of about 5W output and using separate external power amplifiers per-band is not an achievable goal, considering this is already a product that is currently being manufactured by Harris for both the military and public safety markets.

A code of context exists only to deal with people who are causing problems. Everyone else scans it once and then goes on ignoring it because they never run into problems.

The only people who should have a problem with a code of conduct are those who don't want to contribute to the culture as everyone else is.
> The article is lazy, cynical, and reflects shallow thinking.

Agreed. It also attempts to blame the victims of various forms of discrimination, harassment, etc. on the Internet for the distraction that their complaints cause in the community. He should stop to consider that maybe the people doing the discriminating, harassing, etc. are the real problem.

You might also streamline a community by adopting a zero tolerance policy towards discrimination, etc. That way, people are deterred from misbehaving, and you rapidly eliminate the people who cause the problems, all while supporting people who have historically been marginalized.

Is there really a bot smart enough to scan an article, then not only complain about the direct mention of IMAX (which is easy enough), but also be able to connect that mention of IMAX with a virtual reality system? I find that unlikely, unless the IMAX people had a specialized bot written just for them.

I'd certainly believe that an automated system found the article in the first place, but my instinct is that a human actually sent the letter.

> I hope you are trolling...

Not in the least. This proposal clearly reflects the belief that complaints about discrimination, etc. are "the problem" in communities, not the actual conduct giving rise to the complaints. Thus, it punishes the former while allowing the latter to continue unimpeded.

If this isn't the point, as you say, then what exactly is the point?

Edit: Or maybe the point is this: Whatever the author is trying to discuss in these communities, it is so important that one can't spare the time to address problematic social behavior. If so, I think the author either underestimates the importance of some of the social ills that plague online communities, or his work in these communities is far more urgent than I had realized.

Not having a CoC is like not having an employee handbook.

In theory, we're all nice people, and nice people don't need laws or handbooks to tell them what to do or who to behave.

But we're not all nice people. And when bad things happen, you need to have something written down that you can point to and say: "Hey, you violated this thing you said you agreed to." CoCs are not preventative measures (they don't proactively reduce bad behavior), they're more helpful for throwing out community members when they do something bad.
Social has very little to do with political agenda and misrepresenting people that I was referring to. Example: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941

I know someone who runs an auto parts store -- their primary business is selling to mechanics. They have delivery trucks that are out all day dropping off parts to the local mechanics that called in saying "I need an alternator for a 99 Civic." So the auto parts store is effectively serving as the "warehouse" from which the shops buy their inventory as needed.
Neat idea, but is this something you can actually be skilled at? Even if you know the game, and can figure out what trajectory the ball was on, it seems very hard to figure out exactly where on that trajectory it was when the photo was taken, given the high speed of the ball.
What you're describing doesn't make very much sense. There are only two cases here:

1) A feature that's in develop may sometimes need to wait for something (QA, business validation, a go-ahead, whatever) to go to master, or
2) A feature that's in develop can ALWAYS go to master at any time.

In the first case, you can have feature X blocking all other features because it's in the same branch as them, which is the problem the GP is describing. In the second case, the two branches are the same, so why not just merge into master directly?
Can't speak for the GP, but I often commit my changes every 3-4 minutes with messages like "Tweaked the padding." Then when my work is in a reasonable state to be viewed by someone else, I'll turn those 5-6 local commits into one coherent "feature commit" like "Redesigned the page header according to new brand guidelines."

You don't have to use high bandwidth ADCs, in another post Aloha brings up the XTS3000 which uses a ADC/DAC setup that only digitizes about 400KHz of bandwith and it gets along fine as far as power consumption.

My main point is that we already do this sort of thing in the radio industry and the RF requirements of the JTRS are not at all far fetched. The issue with the project is the software outside of the actual SDR code.

Also, as a little bit of extra trivia, antennas designed for higher transmit power don't have any less performance than equivalent antennas for lower transmit powers. Infact the opposite may be true on HF as you will be more likely to tune (both actively and passively) the antenna you have connected to an HF transceiver than connected to just a receiver.

On reflection, I want to say more about this.

The problem with "the most agile, creative, and curious engineers", is it is like "above average intelligence" or "good sense of humour". Almost everyone thinks they are agile, creative and curious, because - hey - who doesn't want to be those things? So trying to interview for that is like inviting people to show you their bullshit circuits.

People who are genuinely agile, creative and curious are as much unicorns as the people who want to hire them. People who think they are among the most agile, creative and curious engineers are more numerous than sparrows.
We're trying to give open source and other software projects a place to build a community and monetize.

If your code is hosted on GitHub, you can respond to bugs or other specific problems using issues, but finding a place to grow a community of users that can help each other, provide feedback, vote on feature requests and provide useful information to new users is hard.

At the same time, we want to help open source projects monetize in a more effective way than simple donations. We've built a paid support system that simplifies the flow for project owners into specifying their rate, accepting a request and getting paid upon fulfillment. We're also incentivizing backing; in return for backing a project, your posts are promoted in the project's discussion area.

If that explanation makes sense, could you offer suggestions for changes that would have made it more understandable the first time you saw it?

We'll be adding an example soon.

Thanks
Futures/promises seem like they're basically just a limited subset of FRP (Rx, RAC) observables/streams - such that they either "next" once and "complete", or "error" without "nexting".

I suppose they also have caching built in, but that is easy to build on top of FRP.
I was joking (could I say deadpanning?), the serious part being that Snowden showed a need for freedom from US-made software (regardless of citizens' freedoms), and that the rest of the world tries hard to look so bad that it makes Russia look better than it deserves.
On the main project I'm working on, the reason we have develop/master is mainly for hotfixes.

We deploy once a week, but if we need to get something out the door quickly, we make a hotfix branch off of master, then merge it into both develop and master. This way, if we find something that needs to be fixed before the next release, but don't want to push half-done updates, we can seamlessly do it.

I already introduced my own solution in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9744402

To which his only complaint was "this rewrites history", followed by "i'll rather fuck over future developers by throwing in a revert blob followed by a revert-revert blob followed by ANOTHER merge only this time slightly different".

There is no point in arguing with someone who thinks that is in any way reasonable. Additionally there is nothing day-care level about this. I've had clients like that, big companies too. Arguing for all sort of development horrors. I've fired those clients. I'd rather spend my time on companies that value the sanity of their people.

So, really, i don't give a fuck. And unless he comes back with something along the lines of "i've realized that what i've been doing is sheer insanity and torture of myself and fellow developers", i don't care to hear what he has to say, the same as i am sure he doesn't care what i have to say.

And really, i don't care whether you think what i am saying is constructive either. This factitious politeness that you and people like you insist upon is a blight on this industry. Please give me all the downvotes you can muster. It pleases me if i manage to upset people by being earnest, honest and direct, since it tells me more about their character than they're ever likely to realize themselves; and maybe, just maybe, they might end up wondering "Why is that guy so mean to me and doesn't even feel bad about it? What have i done wrong?"

And if you actually care to find out something, if a constructive dialogue is your goal, then don't start it out with statements borne of inexperience and lack of knowledge. Start it out with the only question that matters:

Why?

It's not so much the lawyers but the law. The law says that for trademarks, you have to make an effort to defend it or else you lose it. The degree to which making an effort is necessary is not entirely clear, so they have to make a paper trail to that end, even if it means being aggressive and then apologizing afterwards.
A phpunit runner for grunt, that works
I think it's people usually don't get that these are often just random and not always tied to an event, but vice-versa. Certain situations and interactions can lead up to or trigger attacks, but when it's a real disorder with the fight or flight mechanism, there's often no rational meaning to the sense of panic.

In my case my attacks turned out to be related to a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, which (among lots of other things) results in my response system overreacting to stimuli. It took me a long time to get diagnosed and I've learned to cope by rationalizing my panicky feelings as nothing more than flawed biology. I know that there's nothing really wrong, and I can calm myself down, telling myself it's just my screwed up vagus nerve, before an attack becomes full-blown. Thanks to that I was eventually able to taper off taking Xanax regularly.

But while going through that process I had days where I couldn't even work, and even had a boss drive me to an urgent care place once in a full-blown attack. The work at the time was definitely stressful, but I think the panic attacks exacerbated the work more than the other way around.
I think the main issue with the project is more the software outside the SDR software, they wanted these radios to do everything to the point of absurdity, just look at the list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Tactical_Radio_System#Wa...

This requires a significant amount of software outside of decoding a radio signal from a bitstream into another bitstream. You have tons of software to interface to all the little dingus and do-dads you want to plug in. Some of this is standardized.

Remember, the military connector category on Mouser is 500,000 parts large.
I think it depends on the project's structure and team discipline. I tend to prefer straight lines in the history where a single feature or a group of similar functions are linear.

Its really a shame she missed out on the opportunity to avail herself to a nation state without a government. From 1991-2014 there was a recognized Country without any recognized central Government. On top of that they have a informal economy[1] or an economy that is not taxed or monitored by any Gov, which they still maintain to this day despite gaining a formal and recognized Gov in 2014.

Any guesses to how this Country ripe with more conditions of an idealistic libertarian society (no central Gov, no taxes, customary laws decided by region/peoples/religions, autonomous regions), than any other modern nation, fared?
