  1. WebAssembly Gonna Nuke It From Orbit on Node.js Event-Stream Hack Reveals Open Source 'Developer Infrastructure' Exploit (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Thank god WebAssembly is rapidly advancing with the fever of someone trapped in an elevator with fat guy who ate nothing but beans for lunch and the entire clusterfuck that is Javascript/Node is about to be dumped on the garbage heap of dead tech.

  2. Most People I Know Have Accounts, But Are Dead on Facebook Now Faces a Massive Backlash. But Will Anything Change? (fortune.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've given up even bothering checking my friends and acquaintances on Facebook. 95 percent of them are dead. Most actively post on other social media services and a few of them will occasionally post something randomly on Facebook but it feels like a ghost town.

    And besides the dead accounts, Facebook feels incredibly outdated and clunky to use.

    One might suggest that the accounts I follow are just an anomaly, but they are a pretty diverse set of family, friends, and work focused accounts. I have to imagine that the entire Facebook valuation is a giant house of cards just waiting for some social media/data scientist to come out with some study that shows the emperor has no clothes.

    Oh look, it is the same boring SJW AC troll who never manages to get any upvotes.

    For the non dumb SJW trolls who want to see the SJW organization referred to just look up Coraline Ada Ehmke Code of Conduct organization or the something similar. I don't really have the stomach to search through such a vile person's Coraline Ada Ehmke's social media timelines right now for a link to it.

    Should be a shock to no one. It is the dream job of every SJW to sit at home all day tone/thought policing people on the internet while getting paid.

    > Seems like it might be a good choice for a CoC.

    The other and more sinister reason is the massive attempt by SJWs to ram the toxic 'contributors covenant' by the vile Coraline Ada Ehmke and others is the creation of SJW thought police organization for all open source projects who are dumb enough to adopt it.

    Essentially SJWs getting paid to sit at home combing through open source projects searching for cases of wrongthink and working behind the scenes in ideological star chambers to kick their ideological enemies.

    Projects creating their own sane CoCs or even just mocking the push to adopt these toxic SJW CoCs infuriates them. They are trying to get every single open source project to adopt a single universal SJW CoC and place every project under ideological thought police.

    Think this is all hyperbole, just look at the sickening attack by Coraline Ada Ehmke against Ruby's creator when he refused to bend the knee:

    > when you break down all CoC documents, they are asking others to be kind and do the morally correct thing.

    LOL

    The entire point of these SJW attacks on open source projects is to use weaponized CoCs to hijack the project and kick and publicly humiliate their ideological enemies.

    node.js
    Drupal
    Opal
    FreeBSD
    Linux

    All these above projects have been attacked and infiltrated by SJW mobs using weaponized CoCs to attack innocent project members for nothing more than wrongthink.

    In one form or another each of these projects had weaponized CoCs rammed down the community's throats where the sickening Progressive Stack was enshrined as a fundamental precept of the project. In other words, establishing that the project is comprised of oppressors and victims and the CoC only applies to oppressors - in other words white, male, and or conservative. Toxic behavior by anyone in a 'protected class' aka 'victim class' is ignored or even encouraged.

    It took only TWO DAYS for the attacks on innocent Linux developers from the time the toxic CoC was forced on the community.

    Its 2018, it is time to stop these silly and dangerous claims about CoCs being these innocent little documents that 'just tell people to be nice to each other'.

  11. Similar To The James Damore Ideological Attacks on Amazon Scraps Secret AI Recruiting Tool That Showed Bias Against Women (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes.

    Both this ridiculous garbage reporting and the apoplectic shitshow from ideologues in the press over James Damore's memo are not just the usual bland claims of sexism.

    There are long known and well researched gender differences in interest preference going all the way back to infants - long before any possible way to for the results to be explained by 'societal sexism' or other such nonsense.

    Feminist dogma is 100 percent counterfactual this basic and well researched science.

    Hence why the over the top attacks on anyone and anything that brings to light these fundamental differences in the abilities of men vs women in technological jobs.

    The reason there is such a huge disparity in male hires in tech companies is a direct result of those well established gender differences. The candidates being selected are at the very, very top end of the bell curve in both intelligence(where men have a significant advantage) and a lifetime of interest in and drive compared to female applicants in general.

    Of course the usual 'argument' and response anyone pointing these basic facts out is screetching that the claim is women aren't as capable as men.

    Any individual woman can be just as capable as a man in tech.
    However, that is not true at the population level where men will significantly outpace women in the number of highly qualified candidates.

    You're like the person taking a driving test who manages to hit EVERY SINGLE CONE.

    Every single in your rambling post is objectively wrong. Not only is every single thing you posted objectively wrong, anyone with absolutely no knowledge of the console console market can see that you are wrong with just a minute of searching.

    Congrats!

    Moving on...

    PS2 sold about 155 million consoles worldwide.
    GameCube sold about 23 million consoles worldwide.
    Xbox sold about 24 million consoles worldwide.

    The GameCube sold 14 percent the number consoles the PS2 did worldwide.

    "what if the top stakeholders in MS see the console division as a boat anchor and cut it loose like google's cutting loose G+?"

    The Xbox failure and losses were so bad that at for a time Microsoft was hiding them by including Mac Microsoft Office profits(as crazy as that sounds) in the Xbox's division's quarterly report numbers.

    It was completely understandable back in 2001-2 for clueless people like 110010001000 to engage in Microsoft fanboyism and their prospects in the console market.

    But in 2018, it is just...sad.

    Microsoft has been getting their asses kicked by both Sony and Nintendo for sixteen years now. There is no more Steve Ballmer to keep turds like Xbox from getting the axe.

    Boggle.

    I remember these inane posts from back 2001-2. Bill Gates was going to walk right into the console market and own it with 'pocket change'. And Microsoft has '50 billion' in the bank.

    That was sixteen years ago. To see someone spouting that same drivel in 2018 is just sad.

    It is no secret why Microsoft got destroyed by Sony in the console market:

    * Hardware - despite Microsoft's 'billions' they never were smart enough to invest in the console hardware design and manufacturing needed to be ablet to compete with Sony.

    * Software - despite Microsoft's 'billions' they never were smart enough to invest in first part developers that could compete with Sony's(or Nintendo's) massive first party studio array.

    Sony entered the console market and blew all previous worldwide sales numbers with the first Playstation. 105 million consoles sold worldwide.

    Microsoft? The first Xbox bombed with a pathetic ~25 million before being killed off after only four or so years.

    It wasn't some accident or luck by Sony. Here we are in 2018 some sixteen years later and the Xbox One is bombing in sales worldwide at roughly the same rate the first Xbox marketplace failure with only some 30 million consoles while Sony's PS4 is selling as fast as any console in the history of the market.

    Microsoft is 0 for 3 in the console market after some sixteen years or so.

    The first Xbox marketplace failure just barely avoided coming in last place due to Nintendo dumping the GameCube a few months earlier.

    The second Xbox came in last place worldwide despite being rushed out the door a year early compared to the PS3 and having the 'luxury' of the RRoD hardware fiasco that led Xbox owners to buy tens of millions of duplicate consoles.

    The third Xbox is going to be dumped into last place by the Switch. It's only a matter of soon it will happen.

    The days of Steve Ballmer endlessly throwing billions of dollars failed Microsoft products like the Xbox are over.

    For years Microsoft has been trying to get hardware manufacturers to build Xbox branded hardware while Microsoft rakes in royalties. No one has been stupid enough to do so.

    So here we are. Say goodbye to the Xbox fiasco.

    If Microsoft is going to fail in the gaming market, it is cheaper to fail in the game streaming market than trying to design and build console hardware that can compete with a tech powerhouse like Sony.
