Completely agree - Gource is also mentioned here and does something similar.

Probably more useful tools are CodeCity and JSCity, that go beyond the layout of the repo and get to the function level, so they are able to give potentially useful insights like coupling or complexity of classes. In any case, there's a long way to go as far as the effort of running these programs actually being worth it.

Well, I keep hearing people say things like "I hate LinkedIn" or "LinkedIn is so annoying" randomly at work or in business travel.

It's a small data point, but it seems that perhaps there is a negative sentiment growing around LinkedIn.

>We had thousands of astrology and magic practitioners. It didn't make astrology or magic true in any way.

What made their practices bogus was that it wasn't scientific.

So you're using an argument that undermines your very conclusion.

The analogy to proponents of astrology and magic would be people who doubt the scientific consensus.
Has anyone found this affects memory? I 'see' thoughts but since words never completely describe an object, my brain seems to auto fill in the rest. And when asked later I can describe what I read along with what my brain auto filled in (and sometimes can't remember which I actually read and which my brain filled in). For instance I read about a tree, and I 'see' in my thoughts a pine tree. When asked later about the tree I might describe it as a pine even though that was never physically described.

In addition to what learc83 said, you can't really feasibly do this. Freelancers end up needing to do more work for the amount of output they provide because they have to pay spin-up costs on every project. This means that they are already disadvantaged, and when you combine that with the fact that they are not guaranteed work, dropping prices becomes pretty unsustainable. It's a big part of the reason that freelancing barely exists in most industries.
Plans are planned significantly more concretely.

I've found that only works as long as everyone you work or hang out with knows that you don't have a smartphone and, therefore, don't have access to Google Maps and Facebook everywhere. Otherwise you can get into trouble when, for example, someone changes the location of a meetup at the last minute, with the expectation that everyone will 1) be notified of the new location and 2) be easily able to find their way to the new address.
I find it amusing when folks self-describe as 'anti-establishment', particularly journalists writing predominantly stories about journalistic and media trends. Also interesting when articles like this are written by folks touting their own newsletter: is 'newsletters are becoming huge' true, or wishful thinking?

I think the comparison with zines is interesting, but a newsletter on the best podcasts, or featuring a 'random medieval image' is not the heir to Sniffin' Glue. Anti-Establishment, the punk ethos, youth culture, that meant something. (Back when I were a lad, pass my slippers).

The nearest I've found is Tumblr, to be honest. The porny, angry, angsty, badly written, rapid fire, wonderfulness of that pile of zines on the record store counter.

Having said all that, I also find newsletters interesting. But as it stands at the moment they have a discovery problem (podcasts suffered the same way at the start). It might be gonzo to publish without an audience, because, hell-yeah, and stuff, but I don't see how anything but self delusion could make you think that means you're reaching more people who are 'genuinely interested'.

I'd love to read more newsletters, but those I've been recommended are mostly the same journalistic onanism or smug punditry. I've not found any distinct voice that isn't amply available across the internet.

You are right. Intelligent minds have only existed for a few dozen years. Nothing can be learned from the thinkers of the distant past (anything beyond 31 years, in my very personal experience). /s

30% is for field repair support guys, who have to fill out full paperwork on every single job (and it's a rule of thumb, not ironclad). Not every software ticket requires that. It's just more to show that documentation requires some time; it's not something that you "just spend +5 minutes on the task and it's there". Minor edits, sure, but not good documentation.

First and foremost I really want to acknowledge the great tone, reflective nature, and clear chronicle of spending talent, time, and effort to build up Localeur into a going concern. I think the piece does an excellent job describing to an outsider the personal challenges of both tech and the cultural considerations that come along with being a Black founder. The apparently repetitive 'dismissiveness' from within the tech community (re: location) is tough to read but certainly strikes a chord.

My experience with Austin as a city and with its own culture really soured me on the place, in that I discovered the "Live Music Capital of the World!" to be self-congratualtory hype that wasn't true (e.g. New Orleans can toast Austin any night of the week, full stop). I've watched as 'up and coming' cool-factor-wow stuff like SXSW lost most all of its local roots.

I saw tons and tons of well-to-do people moving into Austin, driving costs up and creative types out. I saw a town where there's a seemingly endless glut of up and coming talent by way of the University; a glut that depressed wages and made companies comfortable offering no-benefit wage-slave work just to work as a sub-contractor in a "cool" place like AMD. I saw a town that desperately wanted to be cool and had long ago forgotten what it looks like outside of a smart-phone screen.

My point is that I hope the best for the founder to use his experience wisely, to look toward SV with the same skepticism that has been developed after all those years in Austin, and be careful. Don't let reputations fool you - Austin thinks its such a great music town, but it only takes a quick minute to realize that Leon Bridges, St. Vincent, Justus, and a load of other up and coming artists do their thing in Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton, not Austin. It might not seem a clear correlative to many, but I honestly do believe support for creative industries and taking risks on new business efforts are quite analogous - so be wise and prioritize which matters more, coolness or success.
In the early days of the web, web designer used to earn as much as £800 per day (~$1200 at the time) for handcrafting HTML in vi or Notepad, doing a bit of image manipulation in Paint Shop Pro.

Then Hotmetal Pro came along and we all had up learn the Dark Art of CGI scripting to maintain the daily rates. Then Cold Fusion took over, et cetera, et cetera.

The ip command is a monstrosity. It is basically trying to emulate Cisco's IOS in a command to placate those that want to use Linux as their router firmware.

Observation: I'm sitting in my office in Orland Park, Illinois using my relatively new Macbook Pro. I followed the link and, as soon as I arrived at the page, I saw a dialog to choose my location. About a second later these choices vanished, the page assumed that I was Indianapolis, and I was shown a list of events in Indianapolis.

Since I got no popup asking for permission to share my location, I assume that you are using my IP address to geolocate me, and while that is definitely not a very accurate way to geolocate, its accurate enough to place me at least within one town of my actual location.

Verdict: You should work on your geolocation method immediately, or you should disable the feature for end-users until you have time to focus on it fully.

>They're giving over the information to a third party, which usually destroys any 4th amendment rights.

Same reason that there is no need for a warrant to collect phone calls since you are handing data over to the phone companies to carry between you and the other party(ies). Also the same reason the government can shift through your mail, since the items are in the possession of a third party (you likely gave the items to the government itself).

To me this makes as much sense as the argument that since a plane carrying people can fly over you, it is perfectly reasonable to put a blimp with an extremely high zoom camera on that spies on your home constantly, detecting not just visible light, but also infrared. Also, since when you talk things vibrate, and since it is possible to view those vibrations though a window, I'm actually broadcasting my speech to the public and thus don't have any expectation of privacy.
Hi Adam, I love that you did an RCT. What journal did this get published in?

I've been using Brain.FM since yesterday, first with speakers in another room, then with speakers in my office and separated by about 2m, and finally today with Bose noise canceling headphones (I can kind of hear the 3d effect, but it is vastly outweighed by my ears overheating in the headphones). I liked #2 the best; some tracks the 3d effect was pronounced. I tend to like the percussion tracks a lot more --- going back to the webpage to skip etc is a pain. Why not provide a list of effects that you can select from and if I hate violin (bad example) then I can exclude tracks that use it.

In the past I've used rain / thunderstorm recordings. I have a Marpac noise machine with a actual mechanical fan inside. I found that machine great for sleep - but then I had a baby and she confiscated it for her own use :-)

Excited for this, but I wonder about the channel lineup. I am a huge sports fan and Xfinity provides ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, CBS Sports, Fox Sports Net, NFL Redzone, NFL network, etc. Does fiber offer those channels?

Plus, I have to give Xfinity a bit of credit. The X1 system is actually pretty good. I can set recording on my DVR from my phone on the go and even watch live TV from my phone or tablet.
Scary. Xamarin sells tools to support multi-platform app development. Microsoft would want that only to the extent that it assisted migration to Microsoft platforms. Not away from them.
>Really? You think colonialism is the main driver of economics growth?

Yeah, really. It was the big enabler for all the growth that later turned into the "industrial revolution", and continued to provide a huge percentage of western GDP well into the 20th century, directly (as exploited and plundered places) and indirectly (as markets for example).

Cheap oil, for one, is always good to ensure for one's country.

At some point it became economically inefficient to enslave countries with close to 2-3 billions of inhabitants, and the cold war had changed the political climate anyway, but not so much that countries won't participate in post-colonial power games.

It's no accident that it's exactly the countries that did the plundering (the colonial powers) that rose up into prominence, and the ones that were plundered that got the short end of the stick.
Download a script and download a theme for it? It works pretty well for things like WordPress and phpBB. And it's not like there aren't a lot of options out there.

That doesn't seem that complicated, especially not with basic shared hosting (which a company will likely have if they have any form of web presence whatsoever).

I also don't like the move towards trying to get 'average' users to walled gardens and managed solutions, since it usually ends up being about nickle and diming them.

You can't write a Constitution like the United States', without natural rights. The most basic question in any government is "who has the right to rule"? The very first line of the Constitution establishes that it is the people who hold that right in the U.S., which means they have some sort of natural rights. If they didn't, they couldn't form a government in the first place, for lack of sovereignty.

It's not about intelligent minds, sure they were intelligent enough to reason about certain things from the political bias of rich white men about the stuff going on in their lives in the 1700s; for example gun rights. It's about the relevance of any idea and their implications. And running entires societies and systems on the basis of principles created by men who have very little do with most of the people around today. And holding those ideas as the hallmark of society is a bit much.

While not open journals per se, many (new) papers will typically be available at academic homepages (preprints), via "All [X] versions"-links in a google scholar [0] search, or on arXiv [1], depending on the subfield.

For instance, the machine learning group (Yoshua Bengio, Ian Goodfellow, et al.) at the University of Montreal (the people behind open source software like Theano [2], Pylearn 2 [3], etc.) regularly makes papers available on arXiv, and is currently working on a book about Deep Learning, drafts of which are freely available [4].

> MonoDevelop is a clone of Visual Studio written in C#

They might have great intentions with MonoDevelop when it first launched, but it has been lagging behind other IDEs forever. With things like IntelliJ Rider, this position is not going to improve.

From my perspective Microsoft has done more with Visual Studio Code since its release 10 months ago than MonoDevelop has done in a decade. I'd argue it's easier to extend VSC to use it for C# development (which it already supports [1]) than to get MonoDevelop on par with modern IDEs.

And despite being JS/TS, the IDE is very very fast.

It is important because black founders are rare and highly unusual in the tech startup scene. Why is him taking note of this such an issue?

& if you ask me he actually barely mentioned race. In the initial parts of the essay he highlighted his poor upbringing, and it wasn't until the middle that I realized what his race was.

If it were me writing the article, race would have easily taken up 75% because years ago I realized the futility of catering to you "it's a color blind utopia" types.
I get that terms can change in meaning over time. I totally concede the point that complaining about the term "regular expression" being misused is a lost cause at this point. The term has graduated from a purely technical term to something that is colloquially used quite frequently. I find it unfortunate, but I'm not going to nitpick someone to death over that.

With that said, I absolutely take issue with using the term NFA to describe anything that is NP-complete. It's just plain nonsense. The term "NFA" isn't nearly as widely used as "regular expression," and it is a very technical term with very specific technical implications.

> it isn't actually wrong to say that "This RE engine uses an NFA algorithm on regular expressions."

This is exactly the problem. It is wrong to say that Perl uses an NFA algorithm. It literally cannot be true because Perl implements features that are NP-complete.

This is exactly what happens when people get sloppy with their teminology. They start bending the meaning of words to say something that doesn't make any sense. As a result, those of us who aren't as informed end up getting extremely confused.

> or to get people to stop calling their so-called (but not really) RE engines, NFA implementations.

In a discussion like the one in this thread, where the distinction ACTUALLY MATTERS, it is absolutely worth pointing out.

> Good luck convincing Java, JavaScript and Python to make backwards incompatible changes so we can restore language terminology!

This is such a bad argument and such a huge straw man. Do you think I'm on some crusade to fix terminology? No. That's stupid and a waste of time. The only reason I brought this up is because your initial comment in this thread suggested (to me) that you were confused about the terminology being used! Why? Because wolfgke used the term NFA correctly: "An NFA does not use backtracking." But you chimed in with stuff about backreferences and "real" regex engines. What gives? I don't know, but it seemed like a clarification was in order to me.

Why isn't the first line of the Tor EULA or info page (and I wondered the same about Lavabit email) "This software/service is intended to provide its users a reasonable expectation of privacy under US and international law." Or some such. It's unreasonable to expect every user of a tech service to understand how it all works so they can know their level of legal protection. Phone taps require a warrant even if the phone user doesn't know how switching or tapping works.

What's wrong with this idea?
