The features are all listed, but just by glancing over the site it's not clear what extra features are provided on gitlab.com for open source projects that would require webhooks to external services on github and the associated security risks. So, in addition to listing features of Gitlab Community and EE it would be helpful to see that for example there is built-in CI support that targets X platforms.
You're speaking entirely in terms of actions that you can't perform, rather than outcomes. I use Google Docs and Quip because what I want to achieve is collaboration on a text document. None of that requires me to make two work together. That said, I just checked, Quip offers me to export to Word, PDF, Markdown, HTML and Latex - Google Docs to Word, ODF, RTF, PDF, TXT, HTML and ePub. I think I might just find a way.

I used Spotify to illustrate interoperability between brands, but all of the mentioned devices support (many) other sources as well, including DLNA.

Movies show things that are pretty, not useful. It's a flat out cliche that practically anything that happens in any movie (not just in tech, but pretty much any field) looks ridiculous to people who actually knows a little about what's going on.

Why? The engineering definition of deterministic implies predictable outcomes given a known internal state. Are you suggesting that we're already at the level where we can accurately and fully measure a human brain's internal state?
Restricted to the publically-available data from one particular and rather odd site, but probably not crazy.

At first it seems counterintuitive, shouldn't it be roughly 50% gaining and 50% losing? But I guess that people typically put in a modest amount of play money, and then tend to trade until either they run out or get discouraged from losses.
> But the 1m rule sounds draconian to me.

Germany has even stricter rules in practice: courts have regularly decided that a minimum of 1.5m ... 2m is necessary, depending on the situation.
In special cases, even up to 2.8m have been deemed necessary.

BTW, even if cars don't actually touch a cyclist, but merely frighten them and cause them to react, it's already a traffic offense. Difficult to enforce in practice, of course.

It's kind of strange to see the intensity of London driving described as "chill". I wonder if the huge difference in availability of public transport has something to do with it; most Londoners and many of the commuters into London simply don't drive on a daily basis and probably won't even own a car (where would you keep it?) So the traffic is much more likely to be commercial.

The medieval street layout also makes it hard to get up speed in London.
As a NixOS user I've certainly encountered some of these issues. While Nix and NixOS are really nice, the first thing I'd recommend to a new user would be to learn the Nix language, as it's pretty much a requirement for getting anything done.

I agree with the author that per-user configuration is a bit overkill for the common use-case of a single user machine, but you have to go out of your way to use it (via the "nix-env" command), so I think it's a bit of a non-issue. Since Nix can be used from any user's home directory anyway (this is often how it's used on non-NixOS systems), it's not necessary for Nix/NixOS to contain this per-user feature; however, by doing so they gain a huge space optimisation by re-using the same store. The same can be said for NixOS containers, which I don't use but I see why it's there.

As for making packages available at runtime, that's what the "propagatedBuildInputs" attribute is for. Sometimes Nix can actually automagically figure out runtime dependencies, since it looks through files as they're installed to see if they contain references to other store paths; if so, those paths are added to the runtime dependencies.
I agree. Others here are making arguments as to why they think this is akin to gambling, but there is a specific legal definition of gambling (at least here in the U.S.) --

"A person engages in gambling if he stakes or risks something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance or a future contingent event not under his control or influence, upon an agreement or understanding that he or someone else will receive something of value in the event of a certain outcome." [1]

This is not a contest of chance, and there is no future contingent event. Other participants future actions within this event do not count as a "future contingent event."

Jerks happen to use various ways of moving around. Some happen to use a bike, please don't use generalization.

While momentum argument is real, my personal philosophy as a daily commuting biker in France is "I'm the more exposed to risk and the more hated road user, so don't get in the way of cars and don't ever dare touch pedestrians"

That being said, yes I do pass red light when I have good clearance and I don't "emergency brake by courtesy" for pedestrians that are not already engaged in crosswalks or clearly far from my course.

Theses two paragraphs are perfectly compatible IMHO. It's just that in order to play with the rules you must know and accept them and be aware that you are doing something borderline. And by borderline I mean something specifically NOT dangerous to others and yourself. If it's dangerous it's just plain dumb and irresponsible.
Baltimore is surprisingly much the same, with the delightful twist of cyclists who cheerfully (and ubiquitously) ride on the sidewalks, and who then try to act like you're the asshole when you explain politely to them that they need to get off the God damn sidewalk and into the God damn road. Don't even get me started on cyclists who use the light rail. They're worse than football fans, which is saying a lot; football fans pregame and travel in packs, but at least they are susceptible to an authoritative baritone instructing them to move into open space rather than packing up by the doors, and to make way when passengers need to board and disembark. Football fans don't try to be rude; they just don't know any better, and are willing enough to be told. People with bikes are just likely to act like they own the whole damn train, and take great offense to the news that they do not.

Cars are fine. As a pedestrian, I love cars. They behave predictably and their drivers are often polite to a fault - I've developed a whole physical language to explain that, while I greatly appreciate a driver's consideration and courtesy, I also feel it benefits no one for a much faster-moving vehicle to await someone on foot, and therefore to please go ahead and make the turn or whatever, so you don't have to wait and I don't have to hurry, but thanks again for looking out.

This is tough to fit in a single gesture, but I think I've got it taped now. The key is not to mind hamming it up a little, because it does after all have to be easy to read from a distance, and to get the whole upper part of your body involved - you want to combine a smile of thanks with a forward incline of the head, connoting a degree of deference, with a rather sweeping motion of the arm across the billboard of the torso and out to full extension in the direction the driver was about to go anyway, to convey the intended outcome. Laugh all you like, but this works; I rarely have to repeat myself even once, and I usually get an answering smile and wave from the driver besides.

So yeah, cars are great. Cars are whales. Bicycles are sharks, fast and deadly and hard to hear coming up from behind. Usually piloted by assholes, too, which I guess sharks aren't, but when I'm just trying to get to work in one piece and I'm having to deal with the adrenaline shock of yet another near miss, I get a little loose with my metaphors.
Personal opinion: I can imagine that the reason of how we experience consciousness might be unsolvable, much as the question how the color blue feels is hard to answer objectively.

However, I think there are a lot less fuzzy questions that are strongly connected with consciousness that I'm hoping can be find answers for - and that could shed some more light on what consciousness is and what it isn't. Such as:

- what are memories? Could we build some machine to extract or even manipulate them? Is it possible to compare memories of different people?

- what are dreams?

- different parts of our body are affected differently by our consciousness: Some things we can control directly, like hands, feet, speech, etc; some processes we cannot control but we do experience them, such as hunger or sleep; and some we neither control nor experience such as digestion, homeostasis etc, even though they are also regulated by the brain. Even more couriously, many of those autonomous processes are greatly affected by conscious thoughts even though we don't experience them as directly controllable - such as fear and arousal. Inversely, conscious actions often have autonomous "sub routines", such as walking.
So what what mechanism in the brain governs which processes are conscious and which are not?

- Suppose we could actually do brain transplants. Assume we put an adult human brain in a jar and connect it with some kind of VR. Could the brain learn to control a non-human body such as a spider? How about a human body with different proportions?

What network design is used to communicate between the satellites? I presume that they don't all go at the same speed in the same direction, so the network layout must be flexible, right?

Also, what is their size? You called them nanosatellites, can they really be a hundred nanometers big? How are they powered, and how are they put out of commission?

The vast majority of people on the planet are mediocre, and many people seem happy about it; or rather, if they're unhappy then they're unhappy about other things rather than their own mediocrity.

But then you've got the interviewee for this article, who is probably not happy with her own mediocrity. You can tell this by how hard she insists that she is. People who are genuinely happy with their mediocrity don't go around blogging about it -- in fact, they don't think about it.
To a first approximation, it's the same kind of power as using the camera flash with every shot. It's just a "flash" that's not in the visible spectrum.

Despite what many think, Android is not the same as GNU/Linux.

The NDK is so constrained, with quite a few API features removed (e.g. no UNIX IPC APIs), that Google could replace the kernel by something else and only the OEMs would notice.

Access to native code is only there for games and implementing Java native methods.

Google likes it so much that Brillo makes these constraints even more explicit, although it is all native code.

systemd has no dependency to dbus, even in Ubunutu it's just recommended[1] - the fact that recommended dependencies in Ubuntu are installed by default is another story.

Ask HN: Markdown, for students viable?
I wanted to show to my sister how great Mark Down is when I see her struggle with Ms Word formatting. She liked the approach, then she asked how can I create pdf and word doc as mostly is needed by teachers as end document. It ruined my morning so far, as pandoc needed command line, she is on Windows, command line is out of question due to paths and all that stuff. I could not find easy , free editor for Windows with .doc, .docx and pdf export option.

Also please know that online editors or converters not applicable as internet dependency can be deal breaker in her case. Thanks in advance for any suggestions in this regard.

> There was an interesting pilot program to give $50 tickets to people exceeding the speed limit by 30mph in school zones. Tons of opposition.

This sounds way, way too little. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but I'd expect you to lose your driving license for a violation like this in Finland, temporarily at least.

Just for comparison, exceeding the speed limit by 15-20 km/h in a low-speed zone results in a fine of 200€ (~$225), and in excess of 20 km/h (~13 mph) gets you day-fines.

And yes, if you make millions, the day-fine ticket can get expensive; the current record is €112,000 for exceeding the speed limit by 14 mph. Which I think is fine -- $50 slap for a millionaire doesn't provide much of a deterrent, does it?
If you have ever done any non-trivial coding in C, you will have come across the need (or the advantages) of using goto for local error handling within a function.

You can write the error handler code for a given function (which usually just resets some resources and returns an appropriate error value) in a single place, usually at the end, but jump to it from within any loop or structure within the function, as soon as you detect that the computation cannot proceed.

setjmp / longjmp is the natural extension of this mechanism to an entire library, as in a set of tightly coupled functions that are hopefully hidden behind a public API. I think it's a good design choice. If done properly it makes the code more readable, more easily maintainable, and more optimized for the most common execution path. I wouldn't avoid using those libraries just for that design choice.
The problem with this is lack of uniformity. You can have a single perfect crystal lattice that is perfectly uniform over 5 billion transistors, but you cannot deposit small pieces of lattice in 5 billion places without at least one being deformed.

The article gets it at the end even if the author doesn't appear to: in order to talk about mediocrity on an absolute scale you have to be thinking of achievement on an absolute scale, and that a flawed approach no matter what percentile you are at. Achievement, and happiness, and other metrics of utilitarian outcomes, should be measured in context, against your inclinations and potential and situation. Trying to grade yourself against an average or aggregate scale will not only be disappointing, it won't even help you accomplish the right things for yourself.
