Here you show your difficulty perceiving men as victims. He didn't just apologize, he broke down crying. He was being tried in a court of public opinion where he was not allowed to explain or defend himself. Look at what happens to men who refuse to prostrate themselves to the social justice mob: they lose their jobs (even if they founded the company: Brendan Eich, even if the have a Nobel Prize: Tim Hunt.) Threatening somebody's career for an honest mistake and then celebrating their tears is, in a word, scary. It's bullying and I'm touched that others have come together to show him support (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/matt-taylor-rosetta-proje...)

The reason I bring up victim-blaming is that even when it's pointed out to you, you don't see it. Benefit of the doubt suggests it's because you don't believe that what happened to him was wrong.

An aside: nobody asks what the effect this charade has on young boys looking at a career in science. It tells them that an undergrad in physics (which is 10x the work of most degrees), and a PhD in magnetohydrodynamics (which would be literally impossibble for most people), and 10 years hard work as a scientist still won't be enough to earn them the benefit of the doubt.

> Also, it's not clear to me that he was the lead scientist, and he only joined Rosetta in 2013.

True, apparently Taylor joined Rosetta in 2013. He joined the ESA as a project scientist on different mission in 2005 before getting the Rosetta job. Notice that here (http://sci.esa.int/rosetta/43058-mission-team/) his name is second from the top. He's a superstar.

All of this is so far blown out of proportion that the fundamental argument isn't being challenged, is "casual sexism" really what's keeping women from careers in science? I'm not convinced.

Since you're calling people out for being anonymous in this conversation just remember you get to have your name attached to your arguments without risking your social life and career.

I'm actually curious -- I understand that you have tech debt that prevents you from moving to Git, and I'm not here to tell you your concerns are irrelevant. At what point do the compromises that tech debt forces you into hamper the visibility of the project?

This seems to be a continuous problem in the open source community. As tools, maintainers, and support platforms age, how do you deal with the tech debt of keeping them supported? It's an easier calculation for a business; I'm just curious how various open source projects make these kinds of choices absent a corporate benefactor that sets direction.

For me, it was easy to pickup php/mysql and started making decent wages since high school. Then later, after finishing college, I came back to the web world and picked up jquery and just with 'jQuery' being in resume, jobs were easy to find. Then came rails for high figure salaries and then came angular or other frontend frameworks. I think the age of Dev Ops just passed by but what is next?

The US didn't ruin Cuba's economy. Cuba did it to itself with the nationalization of all industry, prohibition of any private enterprise, limited access to information, and restricted freedom of movement, among other things. The Castros don't care about the well-being of the Cuban people, only their own hold on power. In the 90s, after the collapse of the USSR and its subsidies brought the Cuban economy to its knees, the Castros temporarily liberalized parts of the economy. As soon as the situation improved enough to prevent a revolt, they renewed the crackdown on private enterprise with a vengeance.

I didn't get your rant until this comment thread really showed me what kind discourse you're looking for and how the other poster was being inflammatory. On your side.

Now, on this topic, maybe it would be possible to establish a matching fund (maybe crowd-sourced, angellist style?) that gives some amount of matching funding in order to incentivize those VCs investing in demographic outliers, lowering the potential economic risks to investing in first-time, first-generation founders and non-Stanford/MIT grads.

I'm trying to recall the name of a crowd sourcing project where... I think participants were trying to arrange shreds of documents back into their original form. But then there was basically one guy who used different IP addresses to mess up everyone's process. And in the end, that one person was able to ruin the contest.

Anyway, that's the tug & pull of building a community on-line and featuring unfettered free speech. I don't think you can have both at the same time, only one or the other.

Both community and free speech are their own kind of tyrannies, but then how does one become better than the other? Well, I think it's to the degree that the members of either forum style are thoughtful, wise and can absorb new information. And I think that a forum that is striving to be a community of some kind, rather than a watering hole for everyone with every idea, is going to be more successful at providing something helpful to people.

Because let's face it, internet forums are for the most part a vast wasteland of stupid, ignorant comments and opinions. There's a lot of dummies out there. And there's a lot of people who like to troll and break things. In some places it's actively encouraged. Moderation of forums is probably the best way to go if you want to build something that people can use and find lasting value in.

No DSL knowledge required, at all. Just shell knowledge, and the willingness to look at sourced shell scripts.
The nationalisations that caused the first trade embargo followed hostile moves from the Eisenhower administration by e.g. reducing trade quotas and through the refusal of an American owned refinery to sell to the Cuban government. The rest of the nationalisation followed as a retaliation against the that trade embargo.

Basically Eisenhower shot himself in the foot by first rebuffing early advances by Castro that sent Castro head first into the arms of the Soviets, and then it just got worse from that.

It had nothing to do with ideology on either side, but with money and power.

One method I have been using to teach my son is Project Euler. The language he uses has switched a few times (he keeps picking different languages, you'll see why in a minute).

Project Euler isn't a programming tutorial, it's a math problem site. This works out well because it has interesting and challenging problems which pay off quickly. I generally read over the problem with my son and then he starts to work it out. At first he would show me what he wanted to do on paper ("I want to be able to take a number and add another number to it over and over again, quickly because I have to do it like 1000 times", he would say, for example). We would then sit down with a language and I would tell him how to make the language handle that ("Try creating a variable, which is like a box to put something in, put in your first number. Now lets loop and add things to it. See how that works?") He would type it out and get the logic rather quickly and solve the problem and feel great about getting the right answer.

Here's the fun part about Project Euler. When you answer the question you are given access to a question specific forum where others post how they solved the answer. He would then read through the other answers and see if he could assess whether his method was better or worth than others (he's competitive). This gave him exposure to a lot of languages and techniques. He asks me millions of questions about this language or that. Then he tries them. Then he moves to the next problem.

Over all, for an 11 year old, it has been a great experience. He's learned a lot about both math and programming. We also get to spend some good time together.

Another thing I think also kills creativity is obligations. Jobs. Deadlines, things you have to do soon "or else" - be it in private or work life.

As a kid I could spend hours or days (or, during summer, even weeks) doing whatever it is I was interested at the moment - be it playing games, writing code or drawing things. I could go easy and take as much time as creativity requires. If I fail, no problem. There was always tomorrow afternoon. There was always next Saturday.

As an adult, I can no longer do that. There's tons of obligation, and every scrap of free time I have must be allocated well. I feel this pressure to be immediately successful, immediately rewarded, because there's very little time left in between errands and having to get some sleep.

This pressure is what I think makes people just not bother. Not think creative thoughts, because there won't be time to do anything with them anyway. There's this bit of "statistics" floating around the Internet, that "Americans [or other first-worlders] spend on average 4 hours a day in front of TV". If only they could channel that time into something creative... Except they can't. Because when you come home tired, your willpower drained at work, after you're done with your chores, for many drinking beer and watching a movie (or reading a book; somehow, no one ever says reading books is a waste of time) is the only reasonable way to wind down. Because you don't have to commit. You don't have to allocate time, worry that you won't have enough of it. You just sit down and enjoy the show, and then repeat the loop 'till you retire.
Err, what? Their open source policy is stated in the video and in the text. Every keyboard ships w/ a screwdriver and the firmware is on github. https://github.com/obra/KeyboardioFirmware

"We believe, quite strongly, that you own the things you buy from us. You are 100% welcome to open your keyboard up, flash its firmware, reflash its bootloader, solder weird connectors onto the circuit boards or flash our firmware onto something else. (Do note that we're not going to be able to help you out a lot after you do some of those things.) To make all of this as easy as possible for you, your Model 01 will ship with a screwdriver, firmware & bootloader source code, schematics, and all the CAD you need to design your own enclosure."
Well, that's a good way to entrench the non-git position.

> Lots of reasons. I'd rather not go into an argument about it. It's not something that can be fixed: git is a no-go for us.

I'm not interested in getting into an argument, but I'm genuinely curious what reasons remain for people preferring mercurial. At the moment, apart from "got used to the UI", the main one I know of is more "native" Windows support (without needing a Cygwin-like environment to work in). I don't know if that's an issue for your project.

> I'd rather break free, not change masters.

Fair enough. In terms of repository hosting, moving to Savannah seems like the obvious choice there then. And assuming you have people available to do the work, you could always move to gnu.org or nongnu.org, depending on your tastes and the nature of the software your directory links to.

> The problem is that when I have 10 or 20 units with interlocking dependencies, it's an absolute nightmare to try and untangle because I have to jump between so many different files

How that's different from sysvinit?

> The longstanding /var/log/messages is now replaced by journalctl tool, and the logs are actually in binary.

`journalctl` prints plain text on its stdout, so you can think of it as a glorified `cat` if you don't want to use its extra features. On the contrary, if one needs its extra features on plain text log files one usually resolves to using fragile parsing hacks.

> The venerable "hostname" command is now "hostnamectl" because it must go through systemd

They do different things, `hostname` only reads the current hostname. `hostnamectl` is able to set the hostname, standardizing what used to be a per-distribution custom mechanism. Despite being shipped with systemd (to make sure everyone can rely on it) it doesn't actually depend on systemd and in no way goes through it.

> They have also replaced chroot with systemd-nspawn, and made it so you cannot even use systemd while in a normal chroot.

`chroot`'s purpose has never been the ability to run an init system inside it, no matter if it is sysvinit or systemd. On the other hand `systemd-nspawn` creates isolated containers, I'd be surprised you can't run sysvinit inside it.

Again, you're comparing apples to whole orange trees as the systemd utilities do much more than the traditional ones you mentioned.

The point is that ordinary commuter cycling in normal weather on flat, clean roads is a lot less dangerous than standing around while people throw bricks at your head.

And there's a health tradeoff between the exercise benefits of physical activity and the risk of injury. Convincing people that cycling is so dangerous (like people throwing bricks at your head) that you need to wear some goofy-looking, uncomfortable contraption dissuades them from getting the exercise and the fun of cycling around their neighborhood.
