My point is that I'm not going to migrate away from GitHub and I don't want to add more places to deal with code. Everyone is there and you are unlikely to create something substantially better enough to cause the ecosystem to migrate. Addons need to interop with the established places users host their code.

Watch how GitHub Actions is eating CircleCi and TravisCI for lunch. These platforms have becoming increasingly user hostile and I see tons of people migrating over to the GitHub embedded solution, despite it being buggy at times. I've personally tried Google's mirrored solution and have been disappointed by it and now have the GHA migration in my queue.
All the competitive (ICE) runs have additional fuel cells.
The government threatened him with 35 years in prison and a lifetime of debt in order to extract a forced confession. That's what a plea deal often amounts to, a confession under duress.
When I took engineering ethics in college, that was my understanding. You sign off on the bridge and it collapses, you are responsible for the bridge collapsing.

Oh well, there's hundreds of tweets by US politicians threatening violence against other nations (Iran or N.Korea or Syria). That's what nations do, right?
Why is there always this call to treat the less moderate right wing, who are clearly not connected with reality anymore, as though they are simultaneously extremely powerful, and weak little babies who need our help?

When those people hold the reigns of power, they don't stop to think about how we're feeling. Why should we walk ourselves to them, why shouldn't they reflect on their anger and its consequences, and walk themselves to us?
I'm pretty sure the compilers from Microsoft and Borland supported %n earlier than that. The earliest one I have easy access to that supports it is Microsoft C 4.0 from 1986.
It wasn't "on shedule". Also, those launch vehicles were already old and proven (multiple times even!) when they launched humans.
My approach is to build a few end user apps. Silly things or something that will make the life easier for my parents, for example - recently I made a self-hosted family photo gallery with backup to cloud. This way, you can see the problems of building apps, and that could give you new ideas for your core platform services - it certainly gives me ideas.

Simcity 2000 used to have subsidised housing and homeless shelter ordinances, which reduced crime, though you never actually _saw_ anything. It is weird that they've never tried adding a public housing mechanic; it could be quite interesting.
Intelligent lights still won't work as well in a lot of situations. Roundabouts are just more natural.

Think of a situation where four cars approach a roundabout at exactly the same time. With a roundabout (and I've driven this exact situation in Germany) everyone can smoothly enter at the same time and continue on. No technology needed.

What would the intelligent stoplight do?
My first reaction is that it makes me want to be a real-life super villain. Unfortunately for me, I have neither the time or the evilness to do so. Unfortunately for them, there are others that will have both.
OK it seems that the installer was working on 10.10.1 but not on an unpatched 10.10 Yosemite. I just replaced the installer with a new version that also works on an unpatched 10.10 system.
Why did it got you banned on those services??
Many companies, including the one I work for, use college GPA as a filter. The theory is: you miss some good folks by filtering out people below 3.5, but you save a lot of effort on a group that has a much higher proportion of bad candidates. If there are enough good candidates above 3.5, this can be a worthwhile trade.

Of course, there are ways around this (become famous in the industry, work somewhere else first and do well there, etc.). But most resumes, especially of new grads or people who have only been in the industry for a couple of years, will be run through this filter.
I am a bit surprised that he did not mention big data.

But there is point in this talk.

Of course this system will not cost 300 as it has to be dependable and it must kept properly calibrated.

Xiaomi's MIUI is not much different from other OEMs offering their own layer of UI over Android. It is in no way a third OS. I doubt here if Fred ever used a Xiaomi phone. If not, it is weird at best that a comment about it's future is second on his list.

Moreover, Xiaomi's international versions come with Google Play services and all Google apps installed, just like any other phone. You do not get Xiaomi's app store (similar to Kindle store) in international versions. You get Google Play store.

It is really just another Android phone, from an OS standpoint. They have fixed a lot of things bad with Android, like permissions control and integratedness. But that doesn't mean that it is a different OS.
The only problem for vehicles is that LiFePO batteries are heavy. (IIRC ~60% the energy density of Lithium ion)
The ability to comment publicly on articles largely replaced emailed comments. But most people don't have blogs, and probably never will, so I wouldn't call that a sign email has fallen.
Long term I'm going to implement a feature that let's you toggle between low fidelity (sketched) and high fidelity. That would be next to impossible using standard HTML elements. It winds up being a lot harder to implement this way but you get a lot more flexibility too.

Plus using HTML elements would be boring :)
It's easier to just incorporate a town. This has been done many times before, such as Celebration, FL.

I always end up using perl when I have to do string manipulations and have let my c skills suffer as a result. Sad. Using perl regexp kills brain cells.

$in =~ s/$remove//g;
OK. I accept that. And the truth is that I really did value the push back that I got. I only felt it was over the top when invective language was used and personal emails were sent.
there are always two sides of the story. You spent a lot of time on that, this is your idea and your fifth kid. So you are scared that it will be stolen away from you.

However one you will pass this fear, and slowly show it to the world, you will face another kind of problem - how to promote your solution and do a PR noise. So you will spend enormous time promoting, publishing talking about the product.

You have nothing to loose.
> And Jobs himself? Forced out of Apple. Builds up Pixar. I mean, Pixar!

Also, before Pixar he founded NeXT, absolutely breakthrough stuff, though not a big commercial success:

Why don't you message MacMann and talk about it? If you're both working in the same space there could be a lot of benefits to working together.

That's now. If he fails, do you really think that the foundation won't take care of him?

FWIW, it's interesting to me that no one commented on how Buffet makes money from the estate tax via his insurance biz. He sells a line of products that only make sense if the estate tax exists.

In most cases, folks would say "look what we found when we followed the money". Why is Buffet and the estate tax different?
What is a placebo in this case?

I posit that it's something that will make you think it worked (and you'll recommend the book to all your friends), but won't make any actual positive impact on your discipline. Basically if it's a placebo, it would give you self-delusion instead of results.
ARM could probably kill x86 given some time, if that was what the writer implied - and let's just wait a few years and see how things currently brewing will develop before we start shooting off our downvotes, shall we? I am willing to bet that an often-blamed-for-being-fruity computer manufacturer will shortly migrate from x86 to ARM. Just wait.

Killing Intel themselves, though, just won't happen. If anyone can dominate the CPU market wielding ARM in their hand (haha!), it's Intel. The rest of the world has a good few years to go before catching up to their level in terms of manufacturing.
Where does it end?

Linking to copyrighted content is "bad" according to the RIAA, discussing and linking to tools like Limewire is now a problem for them. When will linking to articles about software piracy and the tools become an issue?
When you talk about Apple, and you talk about ARM, remember that Apple bought two companies: PA Semi and Intrinsity (to get chip design talent). The PA Semi acquisition came with IP for a POWER chip, the PA6T. Thus far Apple has announced nothing using that chip (and possibly never will).

Apple certainly has the ability to make OS X run on POWER, but doing that might people fall over from dizziness.
An indepth intellectual discussion may be rare offline and its even rarer on forums. The very nature of message board conversation tends to make you partisan and cut out the niceties and "I agree but.." and "but what do you think about.." like phrases. What makes forums different from face2face conversation is that it makes us assertive rather than perceptive, but as a side effect, a purpose does get served . that of increasing variety and diversity of thought rather than depth.
If that were the sole issue, I can't imagine getting a hardware virtualization solution like QEMU up to par would require too much work.
I "discovered" this about 2 years ago. It's really only visible with a magnifying glass or camera with a good macro lens.

I'm in the same boat. In a world before I found Simple, a spreadsheet with all of my monthly expenses and totals for each account transfer I needed to do was good enough. I can't get myself to see the additional value of mvelopes.com. Simple, however, was a game changer for me. Sad.
> Inevitably, some try to use PyCharm and they just get lost in it! I tell them it's like learning to drive in an 18 wheeler with a manual transmission.

Not really. You don't have to use all its features, they are neither necessary nor intrusive. E.g. I hardly know, let alone use more than 10% of its functionality. The only reasons I use it are very smart code completion, refactoring (rename variable/class/function/whatever, jump to definition, find all usages), breakpoint debugger, auto imports suggestions, and type hints derivation. I barely even use menu items besides "reformat code". But the smart code completion IntelliJ IDEs offer is by far the best on the market so its worth that. Extremely useful for lazy/occasional/novice coders who don't remember APIs by heart and don't want to sopend much time browsing the docs every time.
Using create-react-app is the solution to the problem of a sea of intertwined, tightly coupled, frequently breaking dependencies. Even with CRA there are still tons of frequent dependency problems.

Hello world may not require CRA, but not using CRA is often a huge mistake.
Makes sense. If it were just video it'd seem like it would be cheaper to include an h.264 chip, they're a lot more common and you get the same thing
I know they're unpopular on HN, but smart speakers are an easy off-the-shelf solution for this, saying "Hey Google, broadcast 'dinner in ten'" will cause all the Home/Nest/whatever they're branded this month units to say "Broadcast from $USER, dinner in ten". Same syntax works for Alexa.
I found PG by googling "why" a day when my life was particularly miserable, and came across the same essay. It was number 2 in the search results.
First, respect for the submitter for putting quotes in the headline, as neither marriage nor children is a good sign of maturity. A teenage mother who wed her babyfather isn't mature, but she would count as a an adult in this case, whereas an atheistic phd student wouldn't.

Does anybody have an actual and useful meassure of maturity?
I wonder how many homes actually have phone lines.
I can't figure out a way to be both friendly and answer productively.

Stop blaming other people, it will seldom help. If you succeed, it will be because you got out there and did the work and got in the right place at the right time. If you don't succeed, it will be because you personally fucked up. You can get that attitude, and accept that finding some way to succeed is your responsibility. Alternatively, you can blame your friends and whine on the internet about how it's so hard and the people around you are all to blame for everything. I have a feeling I know what you are going to do.
If you're good it's always easy to find programming jobs. Even when the economy is bad there is a shortage of good programmers.

That's a truism in our industry that far too few people understand, much less take advantage of. If you're good, you don't need to worry about your career all that much. You can go off and travel, join flaky startups, and otherwise sabotage your "career", and know that if it all falls apart you'll land on your feet. So long as you're demonstrably good at what you do, you can always pick up a good contract on short notice.

There's a flip side to it, of course. If you find it hard to get work in this industry, you might want to consider the possibility that maybe you're not quite as good as you think you are.
You know those discussions you sometimes have in the evening with friends? Confidentiality is implied when having them. Google makes it hard to make that happen on the web as soon as your real name is attached. You need anonymity if you want to make that happen.

That’s my case for anonymity.
Totally offtopic but does anyone else find the left side very distracting? I find it harder to read than usual. My eyes are drawn to the left (to the navigation etc).
That poor countries can not help themselves, and that they need to cede authority to western civilization.
I'm not sure if you understand what "profiled" means. He was pulled into questioning because he repeatedly set off the bomb detector. The questions about race/religion weren't profiling, because they weren't used to select him for additional scrutiny. They are part of a psychological battery designed to evaluate him without a harsh interrogation. These sorts of batteries were pioneered by the Israelis and are very effective.
Did you tell him to fuck off and that you'd call someone else?
The context is 2021 and after treason.
> and you don’t become radicalized if your life is going well.

This is the kind of thing that we all would like to believe intuitively. But counterexamples are all too easy to find, unless you want to define "life is going well" narrowly enough that nobody qualifies.

Having a shit life is not a necessary or sufficient condition for radicalization. There is a correlation there, but I really doubt that it's the best predictor of who may fall victim to radicalization.
That is an absolutely fascinating data set.

I'm really curious, for the technical salaries that are 500k+, does anyone know what is going on? There basically appear to be a bunch of random system analyst, database administrator and similar positions pulling down 600k in the most random places around the country.
I love learning. It's one of the things I spend my free time doing.

I love being able to hold conversations about things I like learning about or know a lot about -- politics, computer science, programming, whatever.

Still, I can't only have intellectually stimulating conversations all day. I'd lose my social skills.

Humans are remarkably social animals. In all reality, our socialness keeps our society flowing and from freezing. A lot of intellectuals like to think they're the ones who keep computers computing, robots robotting, etc., and rightfully so.

But had we all the social skills of some "intellectuals" I've worked with and gone to school with, our communication would be piss-poor and we'd never be able make it anywhere as a country or planet earth.

I say all that because those people, the farmers, politicians, small business owners, managers (even CEOs!), directors -- people who have to deal with the general public -- didn't grow up only seeking conversations where they "fire pure knowledge" at each other.

They went to bars, partied, made friends, bullshitted, watched some mind-numbing TV, played contact sports, read People magazine... you get the point.

Thing is, some of us enjoy the mundane. Ivory towers are a bad thing. Believing there's no joy the non-intellectual aspects of life leads to isolation.
Out of curiosity, why are you even in the position to fly often with your dog?
Am I the only one that thinks this is kind of surprising? I was taught that transgenderness wasn't something you could choose, but apparently this woman can and did choose her gender. She didn't "deep down feel like a man" but still was identified with gender identification disorder.
While a Common Lisp program is generally slower than a well optimised C program, I don't think it's fair to argue that it deserves a special place among "slow" languages. In some cases, Lisp code is even faster than C code: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u32/compare.php?lang...
Signal, because I have more trust in Moxie that the Telegram team.

I have not used Telegram though, so that’s not a preference based on usability, just on trust.
It looks like Google has removed the background before the end of the 24 hours period. At least, that's the case for me on Google.ca
What's the privacy policy for Slack Chats?

I cannot find one on that domain, but I wonder if it's the same as the one on Slack.com https://slack.com/privacy-policy .

That policy isn't aimed at protection of end user data, but rather at compliance with regulations around corporate communications.
Since this thread is empty, I'll post myself using it. I'm not a pro though. But someone did comment on my vim skillz so maybe it might be satisfactory.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I was a bit swamped over the last days.
There are now a few screenshots over at the "Features" page (https://cormhq.com/features) as well as link to a live Demo at the bottom of "Features" and at the top of "Pricing"/"Sign Up". You/Your dad can just check it out yourself and see whether it's the right fit (I'd argue it is).

That said: This was originally planned during my work for another startup where we were in contact with a lot of customers of relatively low lifetime value. As such, we needed a lightweight system to track our interactions with them without any sales overhead – all we needed was to know if/when we already had contacted them and maybe how their mood was. Plus, a bit of oversight over our outbound agents was required, so some basic statistics needed to be collected.

(Also, a lot of our customers came through other channels than direct contact, so we would often have to move contact details from production systems into our CRM, which prompted the inclusion of an API.)

So, I'd say the main use case is if you're in a similar position: You need to keep track of who you've already talked to and what they said, but you're not in need of a real campaign management and don't have a highly structured sales process that needs to be reflected in your CRM.
This often applies to smaller startups selling SaaS-Accounts, where most customer contact is of the "are you happy/is everything working?"-variety and large acquisition strategies are prohibitively expensive compared to what a customer brings in (or are simply not relevant).
You don't need to root your device to install the unofficial Froyo image. It's still an image signed by Google, so you can use the standard bootloader and flasher on your N1 to install it from the SD card.

I did this with mine and my wife's N1, and neither one has an unlocked bootloader, and neither one has rooted firmware.
yes, and the software did quite well, but see my post above for caveats.
There are also these debugging tools in the works: https://github.com/golang/debug

The ramen thing? No. Just found out about it.

Cold water rehydration? It's pretty much our default way of cooking pasta. I roasted it dry last night before rehydrating, until the pasta was a medley of different earth tones. First time I'd tried that. It was extremely cool.
This was fairly recent and might be what he was referring to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGmAUQzQJHE
Switchboard operators still exist. They're used in the field in infantry units and they're part of the communication platoon in a Marine Corps infantry batallion's H&Q company, MOS 0612: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjo2/a/0612.htm

In a combat situation, wires from fox holes that go to HQ or artillery are super important. These guys have to run over to fox holes laying or repairing wire from the switchboard during enemy fire. This type of communication cannot be jammed or intercepted remotely. At the switchboard they're doing exactly what you see in that picture, connecting lines to another manually, with like a SB-22:

Although there are more modern switchboards now, they aren't used by infantry. These things are sturdy and very simple to repair.
#10 still exists, it's podcasts and the people who make podcasts!
My favorite battlebots story was from a teen who built a 'spinner' and early in their testing they lost a nut when the blade was in full spin. It left a hole in the siding of his garage as if someone had shot a bullet out of the house, 14" off the floor. Fortunately nobody was hurt. He did all future tests in a drained swimming pool.
We're implementing ORTC (which actually gets its origins from outside Microsoft: http://ortc.org/history/). ORTC is essentially WebRTC "1.1" and there's active standardization work going on (in both WebRTC 1.0 and ORTC specs) to make them have a high level of compatibility. ORTC enables more scalable video and simplifies the way the data is exchanged by using a vanilla JS object style (eliminates SCP Offer/Answer).
> "Security guys" should be fucking competent or they shouldn't be "security guys" at all.

I'd say the same of Java programmers, but we know that's not true, and Java coders get much better salaries.

> And "behavioural red flag?" Are you shitting me?

In Britain for many years the main security measure at Heathrow was for security people to simply interview passengers on check in and ask them about their bags, where they were traveling, etc. -- the main purpose was to look for behavioral cues and not so much obtain answers to the questions. I believe this is one of the things TSA officers are supposed to receive training in.

So maybe he was low blood sugar and this triggered some kind of tic that also caused a false positive.

So you've got a bunch of things that all put you on the wrong side of checklist, voluntarily pick another one, and then add another couple from pure bad luck, and it sucks. I speak as someone who has been randomly detained for no stated reason at customs in Australia long before 9/11, and who since, having dark hair and complexion, is frequently on the wrong end of TSA profiling.

> Seriously, FUCK the TSA. Those assholes are the terrorists as far as I'm concerned.

You've led a sheltered life.
What tool do you use to emit the typescript interfaces? I looked around for one of these a few months ago but didn't find anything at the time.
