What's the deal with all of the random italics disrupting the flow of the article?

All very true. I'd just naively assume that the risk of some very negative PR isn't worth it when you can largely mitigate it by providing just a few weeks notice. Clearly, they didn't see it this way.

These types of business decisions always mystify me. It's certainly their right to choose what content to host. And, I wouldn't expect them to host content that isn't serving their business. But, making such a change with bas

Are you saying that 64 bit CPU + 64 bit CPU = 128 bit CPU (as long as they are time synced)? 1. It doesn't work this way 2. Why would you want a 4096 bit CPU?

I was expecting some sort of interesting discussion of different databases. What I got was an ad for Amazon's products. And I found it quite off-putting that the post seemed to go way out of it's way to avoid even acknowleding dat

So, what, do we hire first grade teachers to be brain surgeons and wait to fire them until they kill a patient? Its preposterous to say that we can't look at past behavior and use it to judge someone's fitness for a job. He advoca

I was clearly referring to Jim Crow era segregation. And, if your point is that all supporters of Jim Crow era segregation, which is super racist, will inevitably do more things that are super racist, why must we wait for them to do additio

I wasn't saying that there aren't certain protections for speech - there are, and there should be. Its not like once you speak everyone in the room has the right to punch you in the face. What I'm saying, is that once you spe

Which isn't what happened here. The consequence he faced was that his employees demanded his resignation. He resigned.

he was CEO for 11 days. I'm not quite sure how you can say he was doing a good job. As far as his technical chops, his qualifications are impeccable. And those qualifications have nothing to do with his terrible views. Thats a very dif

Everyone has the right to free speech - but no one has the right to avoid consequences for that speech. In 2008, he spoke, via a $1,000 public donation, of his opinion to support Prop 8. It wasn't just some random thought - he had a ve

If all political views are valid, what about someone that has documented pro-segregation views? Is that person qualified to make decisions that impact the lives of a diverse workforce? If not, where do you draw the line? I'm not trying

Not all opinions are the same. Some opinions are trivial. I think Wendy's produces a superior burger to Burger King. Someone else might disagree. We can have a friendly discussion about our points of view. Other opinions aren't so

You can't just throw your hands up in the air and say that because there is no absolute scale with which to measure human rights, everything goes. And I think its also not good policy to say that because an organization might* fire a p

Anonymous speech is super important. Even terrible anonymous speech. But this wasn't anonymous speech. Maybe it was speech he hoped no one would find. But, he made the conscious decision to speak in a public forum by donating money to

The mere fact that a lot of people believe something, doesn't make it right or just. Justice is protecting the weak and the powerless from the powerful, not voting on who has human rights and who doesn't from week to week. Also, P

He wasn't outed - his donation was public. Its not like some secret conversation was recorded and then reported out of context. He didn't accidentally donate $1,000 to oppose same sex marriage. Once called out on it, he didn'

He didn't just have an opinion. He acted on that opinion. In a way designed to harm some of his own employees. That action was publicly recorded. And its not just "some opinion". Its not like he preferred Turkey Club sandwich

He was the CEO. How are Mozilla employees supposed to believe he is going to look out for them when he literally spent money to advance a cause that was harmful to some of his employees and in no way beneficial to anyone. It wasn't lik

I've read many people complain about static typing + more advanced type systems making programming too hard. This is the first time I've ever read someone assert that they make programming too easy.

I'm not a C++ standard expert, but, here is my understanding: In C++, if you have a reference, it must refer to something. I'm not aware of any way to legally construct a reference that refers to NULL. Of course, we live in the re

A minor nit: There is a major difference between Rust references and C++ references - while both are guaranteed to point at something, only a Rust reference is guaranteed to point at something valid. A C++ reference can point at an already
