Nowhere is it implied that people going through rough patches will be judged for poor performance and “booted out the door.” The point is that people should be setting expectations ahead of time and will be held accountable for the expectat

It did give me pause, then it gave me concern, then it fizzled into lack of surprise. Damore lost the PR battle long ago. PR justice, while disheartening, isn’t anything new. Challengers to popular ideology are never right at first, but he’

I do disagree. This is on multiple thorough readings of his memo and a sound mind. He never advocates for Google to discriminate against anyone in his memo, nor does he advocate for Google to not prioritize diversity. There is no quote in

This is well argued but some of the assumptions are false. 1) Damore never argued men were better suited to software engineering than women. 2) Damore never argued for google to violate EEO laws, and in fact it’s the opposite. It’s very sad

You can downvote me all you want but it doesn’t justify your actions nor does it make your actions any more transparent. Why did you shadow ban my submission? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16366248

Maybe the growth of meta posts is a weed you are fertilizing yourself.

It goes both ways. Have you had the experience of being shadow banned unfairly? If not maybe consider what you’re missing. Maybe listen to your users.

I whole-heartedly agree with you. I’ve been restricted on HN for much less. My posts are always respectful and encourage productive dialogue, yet I believe I’m perceived as a troll because I’m direct or maybe aggressive. Again, I’m never d

I’ve always used it for sincere intellectual curiosity and thoughtful conversation. My posts across all my accounts are more representative of that more than bad faith trolling. You can trace through it yourself. Saying Bryan Cantrell has

Facebook isn’t the problem. Phones are. I don’t use Facebook or any social media, yet I’m addicted to hacker news and checking my email. But even phones are not the problem. People are responsible for their own “addiction.” It’s like blamin

Kind of at a loss here: Is the final analogy showing that relative performance on any given trial is mostly random? Or is the analogy to reinforce his point that relative performance on subsequent trials is inversely related to the type of

This is not a good use of EINTR, you can even see it’s fundamentally flawed given this usage introduces a race condition. pselect() isn’t the right answer given it’s not portable and it’s totally broken on various versions of macOS. signalf

Just curious, in what way is FUSE not composable where TRAMP is?

Pattern matching logic fails for both educated people and potheads alike. Bitcoin is unlike anything seen before and no one knows what’s going to happen with it.

Never said it was going to fail. I just don’t expect it to be more appropriate as a hacker’s OS than OpenBSD or Linux.

It wasn’t that. It was rate limiting me... for some reason.

Nah, writing a kernel in modern C++ or Rust is pretty rad. Higher level abstractions can be designed to avoid bugs (As evidenced by the explosion of macros in the Linux code base). Check out L4Ka::Pistachio https://github.com&#x2

Don’t hold your breath. The zircon API isn’t innovative in any modern sense. Additionally it’s bloated and not clean like L4. It’s just in house IP for Google. (HN won’t let me directly reply to the comment below so here it is: Nothing in z

How exactly is Google getting power here? The code is totally open. They just seem to be giving themselves more flexibility and potential to build better products. If anything, this will result in less power over the Linux kernel for Google
