What do you think SJWs are?

Useful idiots. People using a shame tactic for those dumb enough to fall for it.

They can't survive in a world based off merit

That, or they are too lazy to.

Psychopaths are known for infiltrating groups of crafters and artisans, infesting it via internal-politics, and reaping discord. This all reeks of a loose psychopath or even psy-op. They don't give a shit about transgender, this is purely about dismantling Linux. Wake up people and get your head out of the gender narrative.

Let's be real. Feminist - cuck husband.

Java had primitives. Ruby is all objects.

I think this code has a dangling pointer in it somewhere. Better review it to make sure.

I'm fine with suggesting the variable name change just for the sake of professionalism.

Agreed. If someone wanted it changed, and they also contributed elsewhere on the project,t I'm sure it would be changed without question. But this person didn't really care about the variable name. Their mind is just obsessed with this invisible oppression and they felt they needed to expose how the patriarchy is ever present. It would be like me going on a subtle anti-Semite tirade about somehow based on Jews owning all the tech companies, in a bug reporting forum. Giant fucking waste of time and highly unprofessional.

There are only two hard things in programming: naming things and and getting head.

"Triggered" is code for "you bothered me, but I have special gender/race privileges that allow me to bother you with impunity".

And here is what happened. She got triggered. Went on her stupid tirade in a bug tracking forum that people are trying to be productive in, and was promptly banned. Her being triggered, in all seriousness, triggered them. Turns out, she isn't as privileged as she thinks she is.

Correction: Programmer was banned for submitting a bug report to change a variable name on the basis of their fee-fee's. The user was promptly banned for wasting everyone's time. Now they are "quitting" the R programming language. I guess the world will never know how much genius it just missed out on! /s

It's probably way easier to put one into software than it is to find one. The old needle in a haystack proverb.

Why is this in /v/programming ...??? We can't talk about github's reverse sexism but we can talk about tech reviews ??

At least they make fancy UI changes. How is the gnome project doing btw....? Piling up bugs, alienating users...? hint: nobody works for free for long.

wat

Because people don't read.

It's his job, as a moderator, to keep things on topic.

And that's how we know it's a fallacy. When the first thing you open up with is the "it's their job" excuse.

I come to /v/programming to learn about Programming languages and tools.

Good for you. Then go to a subverse dedicated to that. Don't dedicate a a subverse with a general name to specifics that you want.

Maybe a different sub would be a better place for something like this?

The exact converse. Maybe a different sub (such as /v/learnprogramming) would be better for tutorials and tooling.

Lol fuck you piece of shit. Go ahead, spew more vitriol around. Like that's going to help.

That's fine. People should speak up and downvote if they don't like it. I'm sure within a week or 2 this will be old news and everyone will be tired of it. For those who don't know yet, they can read. How many pixels does this take up on your monitor anyway?

The users want to submit and upvote this, I don't see a problem. What solution do you propose? Ban stuff that you merely suspect is associated with activism (eg: Github in action)? I merely posted that because its a source on the matter, not because I am affiliated with that group.

As a mod, why even get involved with book burning like that? Your "solution" seems more like a problem.

Edit: That stuff was in October 2014. Almost a year ago.

And it isn't well known. I found out about it today. And its very relevant to what is going on today.

Whoa... back the fuck up. Did you just rape me?

The second example is also easier to debug. You can put a break point and actually introduce a faulty test variable.

Exactly why, in Java, I force myself not to do many references on the same line. It's impossible, in Java, to know which reference (eg: obj1.getObj2().getgetObj3()) throw a null pointer exception. Having to deal with which is null in production is just a real time sink, and at a time where you need fast turn around.

Only 15 years here... but I feel I can answer this one. Version control history. That has always been the deciding factor. I'm not talking about being hyper critical over code quality. I'm talking about people who just sort of change things and cross their fingers that they hope its fixed. Not because they were lazy, but because they truly just don't understand how/why to debug code. Running code locally/stubbing/remote-debuggers are just too advanced for them. It becomes obvious, what people were (or were not) thinking when you see what code that they checked in. This is why people say code needs to be written in an interview.

I think this is really good advice. It's hard to say for sure if software development money will be as good as it is now. Mark Zuckerberg is trying to get legislation passed to make onshoring easier. And I'm afraid TPP may be aiming in that same direction, perhaps with his help. This may be why tech companies like Google, who are notoriously bad for trying to fix SE wages, are silent about TPP.

Just good all around advice. Invest now, while you can. Don't buy a big house with the expectation that the mortage will be paid off, as six figure salaries for software developers may not be the norm in 10 years.

Good points on TCP over UDP. I can't really see how to justify writes on UDP overall as a database design. I'm just storing tweets from the unwashed masses so I guess that's why I don't care about losing a few writes.

What I found odd before on linux was that I had my database on the same host as the app and it still ate up a lot of TCP/IP... but that may have been from the scraping, which was clearly opening connections to many new web servers...

why not both ?

http://projects.spring.io/spring-xd/img/spring-xd-unified-platform-for-big-data.png

It's a new project. I want to dump mostly just tweets into a database for warehouse purposes. No functionality will read from them, I just need it for my own analytics, so I can query and explore in depth. Aggregates will be persisted somewhere (maybe a relational).

I don't think there would even need to be user accounts for this app. I know getting users and blowing an app are considered a goal, that translates into money I know... But I am focused on solving a particular problem and I honestly hate signing up for websites/apps.

Edit: Because tweets will be the primary data, I am thinking of using something that works well with Lucene for full text search support. couchdb-lucene is one option.

http://nosql.mypopescu.com/post/697070985/redis-udp-protocol

My concern (opinion) thus far with couchdb is that it is a hipster database, that choses sleekness and javascript/web all the things over obvious performance choices. That concerns me superficially.

Edit: In the past, I have written similar software and the benchmarks kind of shocked me. A lot of CPU was eaten up not by parsing/regexes... but socket layer. It turns out, TCP/IP eats up a lot of CPU. So I am now weary of sockets when it comes to large amounts of data processing as quickly as I can. It actually surprises me that so many drivers use sockets, I guess the enterprise architecture and web scaling are the big players.

I used to have an app that persisted all of its data to a MySQL database but also scraped the web at the same time in different threadpool. All the concurrent TCP/IP connections ate up a lot of CPU.

I do this when the requirements are coming from a lead (a BA/Product manager/VP/etc). When it's my project, I have to start with UI-screens mockups to make sure that my model doesn't just run-away and turn into a design-paralysis type of thing. That's just how my brain works, as you can see everyone has their own way of thinking.

Notional Velocity. I need to be able to just type it out as it streams off of my consciousness. So far that's the only real productive tool I have found. Others have too many workflows which really break my concentration.

I also use "Tree 2" (OSX outliner) to better organize the chaos that can happen when a linear note gets too big. If I had to, I would write an app that makes breaking a linear note into a Tree system by merely selecting the text and letting it form a new window/bubble. Since ideas tend often sporadically spawn new categories.

If you need open-source (public facing hosting/UI similar to github)? Bitbucket.

If you just want private repos, Barracuda Copy + EncFS /w rsync to backup every hour/minute.

If it makes you feel good, then it must be true.

it can pretty much be ignored (unless you're part of the project)

So it doesn't matter, until it happens to you?

They are located in SF Bay area. That's normal for them.
