If that's how you feel about it, I really think you should just enforce a blanket ban on political discussion on HN. My understanding was that political topics typically aren't permitted, and I suppose it's only because of Thiel that this one got to the front page.

The reason I say this is that political discussion has a moral urgency that technical and philosophical discussion typically lack. Civility in a political context implicitly says "I disagree with your view but it's one that should be taken seriously". I won't stir the pot by mentioning any extreme examples, but there are some political ideologies that do not deserve that level of respect. Of course, one may agree or disagree that this principle applies in the case of Trump -- I don't expect HN to take a position. But asking for maximal civility in this context is making a demand that's far less reasonable than it is outside a political context. Someone who sincerely believes that Trump is a dangerous bigot can't be expected to talk about him as if he's a serious candidate. And yet to refrain from commenting would leave his bigotry unchallenged.

So I'd say relax the interpretation of the rule slightly (it's not as if I was going completely off the rails), or make a firm decision about whether or not politics is off topic on HN. As it is, you're tending to give too much space to polite racist nonsense.

The purpose of a company is to make money. There is no disagreement there. But the fact that economic climate in the US is deteriorating is bunk, and double bunk that even if it were, it would be related to misunderstandings of the purposes for which startups are founded and run...

It is indeed a tough pill to swallow. For me, I have a bills and a family and I make that trade off to take care of them and still have time for my own agenda.

In regards to the OP, I was trying to demonstrate that you should start with that you can obtain and not make an irrational decision. I also read a tone of depression in the OP's post and the last thing I would want to tell them is "you are stuck, live with it." It's not true.

The "tremolo decoder" is an ARM optimized Ogg Vorbis decoder.

Note this is from before 1.1.1 and 1.1.3 (above) which each contained ARM optimizations so perhaps quite a bit better?
You are right, the vast majority of liberal and leftist politicians are afraid of offending their base, but it's not their voting base. It's their funding base. Money drives politics in the US, and that comes from fossil fuels, pharma, defense, banking/finance, tech, and other capitalist interests. It does not come from minoroties or any of their actual voters. Politicians could care less about their constituents, they just need to balance what their corporate backers want against what their constituents want, which is usually very different.

So, the root cause lies there. Until we somehow change this, money and corporate interests will continue to rule, at the expense of the people. The longer it goes on without more politicians addressing this, the more people will fall into the right wing fascist trap of blaming immigrants.

I really doubt if that problem will ever be tackled. In cities it is a logistical problem. Standing in line for 5 minutes for a proper toilet v/s shitting on a track right away. There is no way on earth we can build sufficient number of toilets for the people in Mulund or Dharavi slums. There are politically incorrect solutions such as letting people defecate in open but provide slightly better facilities which will help tackle all the shit.

In village however the problem is purely cultural. I worked with some NGO which build proper flush toilets but people would prefer to use them as goat shelters. Their priorities are different.

People often assume the 1989 earthquake was particularly dangerous. While it caused quite a bit of property damage (about $6 billion according to Wikipedia), there were only 63 deaths and 3,757 injuries. The previous major earthquake in the region was in 1906, and there haven't been any since 1989.

Given that, it is extremely unlikely to die or be injured by earthquakes in the Bay Area. On a list of most likely ways to die, it would be near the bottom.

edit: I should mention I lived in the Bay Area in 1989 and experienced it first hand. I still live here and of all the reasons I might move, earthquakes isnt even on the list.
I don't think we can distinguish text and pictures so easily. Look at Chinese, look at Egytian hieroglyphs. Even when "hierglyphics" is used as as a term of abuse of for programming languages synatax -- it ends up pretty popular.

I thoroughly hated LabView when I had to program in it, but it did convince me that a graphical programming language could work -- if only it refrained from doing the cking stupid things that LabView did (such as the strongly typed editor* that would automatically progate the any type error it found, but not your fixes).

In my current C++ work, I would dealy love a graphical tool that showed me where any given value came from, much like LabView does by its very nature.
My theory is Thiel is supporting Trump because he's guessing Trump will fail and thus the government will completely lose the people's trust sparking riots etc and fundamentally changing its future involvement. Very intriguing.
This is a fantastic example of the reason we went with Gitlab! I wish other products were this pro-active! Keep up the great work folks.
there isn't much to do once you've caught them all

True, but how long does it take to actually catch'em all? Because I've been playing for 10 days, at maybe 1-2 hours per day on average, I've caught 46 out of 151 pokémon, and it gradually gets harder and harder to catch new ones due to their different rarities. This means that it might take (me) 100-200 hours to catch'em all, which is not bad for a game and especially for a mobile game.

And then, they have 5 more generations of Pokémon that they can add, to a total of 746. Plus trading, direct PvP, etc.

The challenge is to fix the server issues, crashes and problems like the 3-step bug before too many users get annoyed and leave. But if they do that, I think their playerbase can last quite long.
Any work is awesome when you work with cool people - maybe find some folk you want to work with.
Did you figure out how to dodge? The battling system is designed to make it fairly easy for a lower level set of pokemon to take over a gym, especially in a group. But you have to understand the dodging mechanic (swiping when an attack is signaled by a yellow flash).
We only release things as Enterprise Edition only if they are contributed to that repository. We never deprecate features from the Community Edition. See https://about.gitlab.com/about/#stewardship

In this case I think CERN contributed code for both SAML and Kerberos over time. The SAML code got merged into CE and we ended up spending a lot of time improving it, documenting it, and providing unpaid support. It turns out that SAML is more of a framework for creating standards than a standard :)

The Kerberos functionality was contributed by CERN to Enterprise Edition https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/6 and CERN left this comment https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/685#n... on the Kerberos CE contribution.

I think Kerberos Ticket based git pull is Enterprise only.
Yes. We have found it is very frequently no where near as successful as in-person mentoring.
Cars are not "basically just giant computers" on the inside. Computers are used to control various engine parameters, and aspects of the transmission and suspension, but all the parts that make the car go are just refined versions of what existed in the 1960s. Okay, so now we use computers to control valve timing instead of mechanical means. But the principles of what valves are and how they make the engine work are very similar to 1966.

And that computing horsepower mostly goes towards fuel efficiency and safety. Which is nice, but almost certainly not the kind of progress people in the 1960's thought we'd make in automobiles over 50+ years.

> traditional pilots being essentially babysitters for autopilot systems

The first autopilot takeoff/cruise/landing happened in 1947.

> hyperloop designs

But we don't have hyperloops.

> I'd say those are much bigger changes than 1936-1986.

By 1986 we had fully-digital fly-by-wire aircraft. Our big achievement since then has been about a 20% improvement in fuel efficiency.
Do you write in assembly?

If not, you clearly see some gain in more terse syntax.

Seems like a good thing to explore, although perhaps it should not be one's sole focus in life.
Only in certain areas. In many villages a person can be beaten up for defecating in open and in some cities it would lead to arrest. Despite all the perception "toilets"has been a priority in many cities and especially villages. If you travel in rural Mahrashtra you will see large boards that say "Open Defecation Free Village", such places will even have vigilante groups to enforce this law.

> Employment contracts aside... Let's just ask ourselves, is having a job optional?

The majority of people need to work if they want to survive, that's true. So "jobs" aren't voluntary. But "a job" is. You don't have to pick plants out in a field if you don't want to. If you don't like your position, or boss, or pay, you can quit and look for work elsewhere. Or even have multiple jobs!

A slave doesn't get to say "This other company is nicer and pays better, so I'm leaving here and going there instead." But you can.

There's a similar (in concept) idea in React Boilerplate

http://www.reactboilerplate.com/

There's several projects like this. Its an opinionated React startup kit utilizing Redux, React Router and Redux-Sagas. With generators, a server etc.

Because React doesn't provide the whole framework there's a bunch of these to get you started so the space is more complex to navigate then something like Ember.
Wow, i gotta say this is like Time Warner/AOL. Perhaps the internet is more mature now to make this work but Im not holding my breath. How will they reconcile the 2 adtech stacks which are huge messes in and off themselves.

This isn't a paradigm shift. This is dock for your phone. It's literally the same paradigm as a laptop dock. You plug in your device and get to use it with a bigger screen and keyboard. That's all.

I've been proven wrong before, so it could certainly happen again, but I just cannot see this being a widely-desired product. How large is the set of people who want a tiny, low-powered laptop that is useless without a phone tethered to it? This is a geek fantasy, where we imagine that having a single computing device is better somehow, despite there being no meaningful scenarios that this enables.

I don't think an oil change is a tune up. Maybe it is.. My honda has 80k miles on it, and has had oil changes + tires replaced. That is it. Compare to a 1970s car and what it would need in the first 80k miles.

For even lower maintenance look at electric cars. I think Tesla has very very low maintenance requirements for the first years.
Terribly true, and in some ways disheartening. Pokemon Go is successful because of the branding and I find it hard to imagine any independent developer achieving even a faint modicum of the same success within the same category (geo-AR games) for lack of that branding. Heck, even amongst established, popular brands which other ones could possibly have gotten the necessary critical mass off their butts and outside playing the game? Pokemon was sort of the perfect storm in that sense.

And that, to me, is a shame. I quite like the overall geo-AR concept. I live in a wholly uninteresting, mostly depressed (economically) area. Pokemon Go brings vibrancy and life to the surroundings, making it worthwhile to get outside and explore this new "world".

But when Pokemon Go dies, the city will go back to being what it always was underneath; a bland mixture of concrete, terrible food, and pay day loans. Will anything be able to pick up Pokemon Go's mantle? I have my doubts, and that's disheartening.

You probably won't catch about 1/4 of the pokemon, you'll evolve them. This is where hatching eggs is really important, because each egg gives you a lot more candy than catching wild versions of the same monsters, and you need a decent amount of candy to evolve the higher level ones.

If they ever get trading working it would be a lot easier to fill out the last few holes in the roster.
It's still proprietary, but if you publish the data via your API is it reasonable to expect people to not chart it and draw conclusions?

Where's the line between "scraping" (prohibited) and reading (allowed) of the API data?
Just get involved in something and figure out how you can get leverage. If at every step in your life you are looking to build up leverage it becomes more interesting. Can I use that experience to convince someone to hire me/ contract me? Can I make contacts that will help me eventually If I need press? Can I learn a skill that is unique and interesting and adds value where people are not easily willing to give it?

I've done a lot of React but have since been burned out by it. It takes so much configuration just to set up something basic like server side rendering. After a year of hacking around with React and wallowing through the pain, I decided to just use Django and django templates. React is nice for a whole company that has one app with a tough initial setup but great performance in the long run, but its hard for individual hackers like me who just want to get tiny webapps up and running.

On my team we work from home roughly once a week, but don't hire anyone who's remote full-time. Honestly, I don't have super strong reasons for or against remote. It does seem like your culture needs to be either fully remote or fully colocated (to avoid the informal communication problem) but there's no major reason to pick one or the other. So I go with fully colocated, because it's the default.

We will keep making developers more and more productive. And if there aren't enough of us to solve all the problems, well tough luck - let them unsolved, every profession is like that.

You may not work at a company, but for anything other than personal use, it is very easy to see why a homebrew IRC + Mumble solution is not going to work.

> There's always a server.

Actually, no.

When you monitor state of a cluster (e.g. node count), you don't have a
server, you have plenty of servers and a cluster (completely different
thing).

When you monitor temperature in your server room, you don't have a server,
you have a server room.

When you monitor exchange rate, you don't have a server.

When you monitor a website, you still don't have a server.

And now add all the AWS Lambdas and other serverless rage.

Notion that everything works on a (single!) server was never valid, and today
it's even more visible than it was twenty years ago, when Nagios was state of
the art.
I disagree. The most critical part is #3. Were this not Pokemon hardly anyone would care.

Don't know much about Ingress but didn't it have #1 and #2 already..?
You can easily end up with dozens of services if you split up your application aggressively enough. Think about all the parts in your application that are handled by workers like Sidekiq/Celery, these can all be applications and not part of the monolithic.

For example for us at Gogobot, every time a user submits a recommendation we detect the language. This can be a service instead of a worker and the code can live separately.

If you do this often enough and aggressively enough, you end up with dozens of services. Once you have an environment that allows easily testing/launching these it's much more efficient to launch a service than replicating your monolithic and assign worker for things.

hey sytse, how does gitlab ci handle caching of maven,ivy, gem s...artifacts? Does each new build have to download it ?

I see some issues discussions, workarounds and seems like it does allow -cache directories but it is unclear how it all works.

for us( unfortunately) its 40 min vs 5 min build times, with/without caches.
I did the same thing and found it quite nice too. I tinkered a lot with React and while the reactive features are nice, its such a pain to do anything in React because of the millions of steps you have to go through just to do something basic. I've tried it, tried Redux, done server side rendering, etc. For now I'm just gonna use Django and the built in Django template system while waiting for the React community to mature. Right now everything in the React ecosystem just too hacky. There's too many different API's for different stuff you have to learn to get something good going on.
I still don't know anything much about your systems, but I do know this: find out what your hardware team uses and see if it is right for you, too. (Or find out that they are unhappy with it, and perhaps go in together on a new system.)

Benefits: shared expertise. Common language. Propagation of alerts up from hardware and down from services. Better root cause analysis. If you have a good culture, faster resolution time and better understanding.

Amazon is the most impressive company, IMHO. I love my Echo, and I read on a "paperwhite" Kindle even though I have an iPad.

I think Amazon could take over the phone market. Just make a phone that is an "Amazon remote control" with shopping, music, and video streaming built in, combined with Alexa that "just works". (Or a color e-ink phone with no video support, but a long battery life.)
