> Why do these guys [Kleiner Perkins] get reimbursed?

From the Reuters report, it appears that Kleiner made an offer of judgment under section 998 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, [1] which provides in part:

<blockquote>

(c) (1) If an offer made by a defendant is not accepted and the plaintiff fails to obtain a more favorable judgment or award, the plaintiff shall not recover his or her postoffer costs and shall pay the defendant's costs from the time of the offer.

In addition, in any action or proceeding other than an eminent domain action, the court or arbitrator, in its discretion, may require the plaintiff to pay a reasonable sum to cover costs of the services of expert witnesses, who are not regular employees of any party, actually incurred and reasonably necessary in either, or both, preparation for trial or arbitration, or during trial or arbitration, of the case by the defendant.

</blockquote>

(Emphasis and extra paragraphing added)

"Costs," incidentally, means costs of court such as filing fees, court reporter charges, etc. [2] In this case, by statute (quoted above) the term also include expert witness fees. "Costs" usually does not include attorneys' fees.

Say Hello to Nest Cam
The summary I read basically had a few reasons. First that her lawsuit was rather manipulative, with things like refusing to cooperate with investigators after she reported misconduct. Or her classifying a voluntary relationship as coerced.

Additionally, folks on Reddit seem to believe that she coordinated with the previous CEO to take over the job so she'd have a CEO title going in to the lawsuit. Hence the sudden resignation of Yishan for no apparent reason.

There's other things, like refusing to negotiate salaries "because women do worse", which is really just an anti-employee action.

All this was before the banning of subreddits. I also don't find it credible that people dislike her because she's a woman. I don't know if the bits I read are true (they seem well presented, but many false things are), but if so, that's certainly enough reason regardless of gender.

ruby has a parse.y yacc grammar source file (linked to from the post I linked), and yes it can be parsed separately from being executed.

However, IIRC, no one has been able to re-implement parse.y; jruby and the other ruby re-implementations copied it and made what adaptations were necessary.
Ok, that was a detail, I simply misunderstood. I thought, that she refused the settlement and wanted to bring it to court.

Still, without knowing the details, it is difficult to judge over a persons motives.
You can use Typescript as well for an alternative to Babel, it doesn't have all the features Babel has (like async/await) but they are planned. And you get types at the same time.

While I agree with most of what you say, Nokia did have a differentiator: awesome, reliable, rugged, (occasionally) stylish hardware -- not a strength for most Android manufacturers, I think you'll agree. But Nokia's software is generally terrible.

Nokia hardware & Android software could have been a pretty killer combo, and a sufficient differentiator to get some extra profit margin; plus Nokia was (is) very experienced in producing at huge volume.

Unsurprisingly, the rump of Nokia that was not merged into Microsoft is now climbing on the Android bandwagon in a big way... but unfortunately everybody else now has a 10-year headstart.

C/C++, learning python, ruby over the lst couple of years. Been working for several years, graduated with bachelors from a cow college no one has heard of.

bug fixing. that's all i've ever done. anytime i try to move into a dev role they shut me out. Writing new code was not an option; tinkering with new code was not really allowed. I thought about what I could do to make things better but they're already fairly optimzed. doesn't matter, I'd just make it worse.

You'd think they'd hire for c/c++ but not me.

tl;dr, you're an idiot, talking out of your ass, mixing lies with bullshit. Typical fucking HN.
Yeah, so, SHE did not censor those posts. Nor did admins. Sub moderators did. I mean, it even says that in the news articles you posted.

I wish antidepressents would work. If I could cut out parts of my brain and be better, I would.

I just don't get it. Everyone else has done something right or at least better. People say things and everyone else gets it. I've been working for seven years, unemployed for one year. I had a job for a month and they fired me because I didn't have the skills they needed (not sucking, being experienced, nothing tech specific).

I just don't get it.

True. I wasn't specifically talking about hate speech though. I was talking more about launching a site/app/business or spreading an idea. More often these happen entirely through a few closed channels (social networks, Reddit, app stores) and/or are completely reliant on a few closed channels to get any traction.

The Internet used to have more of a creative and community driven focus when people ran their own websites and found information through link networks. Now it's a continuous stream of information fed through a few closed platforms. If you don't submit yourself to the follies and whims of these platforms, you will never be seen.

I think that's most of what made Reddit so successful which is reminiscent of the old days-- its subreddits and link network of those communities.

I wish RSS, or something like it, hadn't failed.

I am pretty sure there is something you like to do. Get good at a tiny small particular thing first before you extend your interest to other things. If it helps, I used to be a test engineer who was tasked to run test cases manually. You know what I did? In me spare time I wrote an extremely dumb and simple executor that did my job. Management realized the potential, they let me write a better tool now with their approval. This was 10 years ago. Today I still struggle with Java and sometimes with Python but I found a handful of languages that I really like and I am focusing on getting better with those, kind of ignoring what is mainstream. I regularly fail job interviews (the last one few days ago, using codility) but I keep interviewing so I can do those better over time as well. I do one interview per week as a minimum. I try to contribute things to open source projects. Even stupid simple things like this (https://github.com/cloudera/hue/pull/68) it is not even code, it is configuration, but we needed that few jobs back.

I don't think I am particularly talented, but I spent so much effort on this (learning how to write software) that I can say today that I am a mediocre software engineer. Again, just think about it. I spent 10 years on this. In the meantime I did everything that I could, being Linux admin, systems engineer, data engineer, just to keep myself running. Almost forgot, I never received any formal education in computer science.

My co-workers run circles around me when it comes to programming, yet my persistence helps me to outperform them.

I guess what I am trying to say is:
- don't give up
- expect success over time (1-2 years as a bare minimum)
- try to start with a simple thing, as simple as it gets (QA, DevOps, anything where you don't need to flip binary trees on a whiteboard :) )

This was my story, I hope it helps.
I'd love it if some Rust insiders could comment on how Rust might implement the stack trace feature (assuming they did decide to implement it). Perhaps a trait such as "GeneratesStacktrace" that can be implemented with "Derives"? And the stack trace is only available in a Debug build when you compile with the appropriate flags?
I'm not sure that's accurate. I rarely see women get "heat" on reddit but once someone identifies as a women they seem to get far more comments, many even sexual. I'd say women get hit on versus catching heat.
Were I a journalist, maybe:

"Reddit is a large Internet forum with thousands of different communities."

It's short, points out the scale, and would be at least modestly comprehensible to the bottom 85% of people when it comes to technology understanding. They mostly know what a forum is, and they know what a community is, and they know what the Internet is.
Avoid Analysis Paralysis by Experimenting
If you have to get an OTP multiple times a day—say to ssh into a prod server—you quickly learn how laborious it is having to take your phone out of your pocket, unlock it, find the Google auth app, find which OTP you're looking for then finally transcribe it without any errors. Pressing a key combo/tapping the yubikey (depends on the model you have and its settings) is much faster.

To me, not having a yubikey would be like not being able to use cmd-C/V to copy/paste and having to use the system menu every time instead.
Refactoring a module to a package (e.g. mymodule.py -> mymodule/__init__.py) can cause errors if you don't clear the bytecode, since it can pick up mymodule.pyc and fail to see the new files.

Not sure about the exact conditions when this occurs, but it's definitely happened to me when code is refactored and you pull the newest version in with git.

Because IT folks are generally very well-paid to begin with; have strong individualistic tendencies; have a very, very wide range of skills that aren't easily equatable; and frequently job-hop for better offers rather than bedding down. And mostly, it's an industry with a very strong negotiate-your-own-paypacket ethos.
I have experience with Angular and Backbone. Backbone will definitely give you more control, but you have to make more choices. Angular is definitely generating more buzz, but Backbone has a sizable community too, and is more mature and battle-tested. That's a big deal in the Javascript framework space, where the scenery can change drastically month to month. If you're doing something small, or you have a little extra time, it's worth getting familiar with React, Angular, and Ember too. TodoMVC is a nice way to get a sneak peak at the various idioms of each framework without investing a huge amount of time.
Now, now. Don't conflate what I said with the naturalistic fallacy. I didn't argue that.

Your story is heartening. I wish it would work for me. Nothing really makes me happy or interested. I could lay in bed all day if I didn't force myself to get out.

I think it's great that you didn't have any formal education, and you have gone farther than me, someone with formal education and 'seven years' of experience.

I've been unemployed for a year. I think my career is over. Other, better people can do more.
I view the situation slightly differently: we now have a few examples of business strategies which employ open-source as part of a freemium sales model or for strategic commoditization. Such businesses can identify the subsets of code which qualify for one or more of the software freedoms, i.e. they have already done the legal groundwork for source-controlled separation into different asset classes. A "marketing standard" for View Source would let them earn incremental returns on the already-cleared code.

Github would have a lot to gain from such a standard, as they are already in the code history and metadata business. It could be prototyped with a browser extension, prior to standardization. In time, businesses will care more about software supply chain transparency, for open and closed code. A "View Source" standard could optionally request authorization before the source is made visible, e.g. from a private Github repo. The value comes from the run-time coupling of source and behavior, and it can be derived from source anywhere on the licensing spectrum between proprietary and public domain.
I am not a native speaker, so I might have been misunderstood ...??

No, you weren't. In the U.S. the primary way to get redress in these kinds of situations is a lawsuit with a concrete financial reward. And to some people, the seeking of a financial reward implies only the desire for the financial reward.

So by that logic: by virtue of seeking redress you're
only out for some cold hard cash. And what easier reason is there to decide to not believe a person's claims?

Dear lord. Are you telling me you believe unsolicited sexual advances in response to any non-sexual thing one might post is desirable to women? News flash: it ain't. If you think that women aren't treated badly on Reddit, go to /R/shitredditsays. If you have a problem with the politics of that group, you need not read the comments. Just peruse the linked posts. A pattern quickly begins to emerge.
sounds v. reasonable to me. if you don't have devs like panic onboard, you've got a problem, imo.
holy shit it's three hours long
You should probably check your facts on this.
Interesting. I noticed that the "sympathy" posts disappeared from my front page (mostly from /r/pics) within a few hours.

Did they rig things? That would make sense.

Frankly it's fine with me. I was worried I'd have to stay off Reddit for a few days until the juvenile hate-mongering died down. I've had to do it before.

I'm with the GP. Every time one of these things happen I get more and more uneasy about Reddit. This, the jailbait thing, Boston Bomber witch hunt. Every time 'the community' speaks up I end up disgusted and a little sick.

Most of the subs I'm in are too small for this garbage, so it often passes me by, thankfully. But then some event reminds me of the putrid filth just out of sight.

Not really. I happen to think that a browser is supposed to enable the browsing of HTML documents but every year the browser becomes more of the one takes all platform. Which means my hopes of seeing JavaScript go out of existence keep waning.
A correction, I think, for part one. It is mentioned that neural network based translation is "recently proposed," but attempts to use neural networks in machine translation date back to at least the 90's.

In high school I chose CS as the category for my IB paper, and chose to write about machine translation. Neural network methods from the 90's is one thing I looked at, and I'm a bit surprised to see neural network translators making a small comeback in the past couple of years.
What incentive does Google or Firefox have for adopting ES6? How is it different to Apple?

But I agree with the sentiment - when every other browser is on multiple releases a year (Chrome at a release every 6 weeks!!!), it really is archaic when Safari is releasing only once a year.

I would love to see WebKit updates to Safari in the iOS and OS X point releases. I guess it comes down to Apple wanting to remain 'API stable' within each major OS release.
"These people, says Harris, are the last of a dying breed. 'If you were born before 1985, then you know what life is like both with the internet and without.'"

That statement really needs to be qualified a bit: it's people living in the "developed world". A significant chunk of the planet (e.g., large parts of rural India or Africa) doesn't yet have electricity and running water, let alone internet service.

I think of devops as dealing with infrastructure to host some business application - and to that end, the mentality you need to have is to automate everything.

Software through APIs provided by cloud providers should be how you manage provisioning, deployment, and monitoring. Having a good one-button system for deploying code is essential to moving fast - you should be able to deploy any set of changes to your production fleet in under a minute with no fuss.

There are a variety of tools for helping with this, but at the core it's writing software to solve your problems instead of solving them directly manually.
Not sure what you mean by virtual DOM. From the WebAssembly FAQ:
"Is WebAssembly trying to replace JavaScript?

No! WebAssembly is designed to be a complement to, not replacement of, JavaScript (JS). While WebAssembly will, over time, allow many languages to be compiled to the Web, JS has an incredible amount of momentum and will remain the single, privileged (as described above) dynamic language of the Web.

I'm not making any judgements on the case itself; I didn't follow it at all beyond blurbs I heard here on HN and on reddit. However, part of what I heard and just now validated is that $2.7 million is the exact amount that her husband owes in legal fees regarding that ponzi scheme he supposedly ran. If the numbers didn't match up exactly I might have a different reaction, but with that settlement amount it seems entirely pragmatic, not principled.

And how do you tell where an error originated without a panic being called? Is the programmer expected to just instrument the their code to put the panic in as soon as possible? Anyways, this is a well-known problem with monadic error handling, and one of the main reasons it doesn't get more widespread adoption.
