As a customer, I love the integrated CI and how easily I can now run tests for each commit and show pass/fail and coverage information right on the commit. We used to use Stash and Jenkins, but it was pretty hard to get the integration to work reliably.

Another thing I love is the gitlab-runner, which lets me spin up a machine and have another server to run tests on.

What I really don't love is how limited issues feel compared to JIRA. Namely, the following workflow is so hard it might as well be impossible:

* Issue gets opened by a user/assigned to a developer.
* Developer has a view that's only issues that they haven't worked on or that they're working on.
* After the issue has been worked on, the developer can assign it back to QA.
* QA retests and closes.

This was very well served with JIRA's open -> in progress -> resolved -> closed pipeline, as well as with the views that could filter things like "show me issues assigned to me or nobody, that are not resolved or closed, ordered by priority".

We tried to do something similar with labels and the board, but it's really inconvenient, because we can't filter for "show me issues that are NOT <something>". We used a "new" label instead, but the board doesn't know that "new" is the backlog and that that label should be removed when the issue moves out of the former.

In general, we've been having problems with issues, although the milestone view is pretty fantastic.
Rejuvenating My Developer Identity at AndConf
Case, screen protector, headphones: they are all one-time costs. If you factor them into the cost of the phone, it's still way cheaper than your car's first payment.

A data plan may perhaps equal the monthly amount of gas a car needs. But then you have insurance, maintenance, and parking. Overall, we are talking an order of magnitude of difference.

Unless you really need a car, like some of the commenters do, a car is truly a money sink. Car manufacturers seem to keep missing this point, which I honestly find surprising.
Does GitHub own any intellectual property that might require GitLab to licensing? or did GitHub totally miss the intellectual property piece of the puzzle?
> how many people know what a host file is ? that will answer your question. ad-block is the simplest way to block ads for a non technical user.

An in-browser ad blocker is also more effective, regardless of your technical skill. Hosts blocks only work if the ads are served from their own server, which is certainly not always the case. Either you don't block the hard ads, or you block way too much and break a bunch of sites.
The thing is I totally agree with you. Intellectually speaking I try to respect the diversity. But viscerally I react with complete bafflement.

Is it me or has Apache increasingly become the place open source projects of big companies go to die? OpenOffice, Geronimo, Harmony, Wave, etc.pp.

I really think that Apache should stop incubating projects which were essentially discarded by their corporate owners. Successful OSS projects are either community projects from day one (HTTPd etc) or require (at least initially) strong interest and involvement of the company that donates the code. How can you expect a community to magically develop around an abandoned project?

> Less people are checking the "new" page and so posts are not being promoted to the front page

I check New all the time, and find some good stuff there, most of which never gets above 3 or so points, and thus never makes it to the front page.

If you are ignoring New because you think you don't have time, I urge you to reconsider. If we all ignored the New queue, then nothing would change on the Front Page (kinda... I know there's manual promoting and stuff going on in the background, but you get what I mean).

> "ID (which is often breathlessly conflated with creationism),"

I think you do a misfavor by using the phrase "breathlessly conflated" in a comment which supports being aware that others may be "starting from a different premise", etc.

It doesn't help that the authors of a "Of Pandas and People", an ID textbook, effectively did a search and replace in early drafts of "creationism" with "intelligent design", and "intelligent creator" to "intelligent agency", after Edwards v. Aguillard settled that teaching creationism in public schools was not constitutional. One of the famous examples is how "creationalist" became "cdesign proponentsists". https://ncse.com/creationism/legal/cdesign-proponentsists .

Quoting the judge in Kitzmiller v. Dover:

> By comparing the pre and post Edwards drafts of Pandas, three astonishing points emerge: (1) the definition for creation science in early drafts is identical to the definition of ID; (2) cognates of the word creation (creationism and creationist), which appeared approximately 150 times, were deliberately and systematically replaced with the phrase ID; and (3) the changes occurred shortly after the Supreme Court held that creation science is religious and cannot be taught in public school science classes in Edwards. This word substitution is telling, significant, and reveals that a purposeful change of words was effected without any corresponding change in content ....

While certainly ID is different from creationism (it can allow extraterrestrials as the intelligent designer, and not just a deity), it "cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents." (Quoting Dover.)

Those starting from a different premise from you, that is, that ID is a smokescreen for creationism which uses the language of science to get around constitutional restrictions of what can be taught in schools, would not consider this as a real distinction but rather a deliberately introduced confusion. For them, it would not be a breathless conflation, but an indicator that the social and religious basis of ID as a creationist movement is more relevant than the details of its doctrine, which they also believe to be a incorrect interpretation of the evidence.

But any adventure within driving range looks increasingly passe in the era of easy foreign travel.

> The weakness of GPU databases is that while they have fantastic internal bandwidth, their network to the rest of the hardware in a server system is over PCIe, which generally isn't going to be as good as what a CPU has and databases tend to be bandwidth bound. This is a real bottleneck and trying to work around it makes the entire software stack clunky.

How relevant is that when you're looking at multi-TB data sets that don't fit into computer RAM? Sure, the RAM <---> CPU bandwidth may be very wide, but the SSD connects to the computer over the same PCIe bus.

And also: when did you have this conversation? GPU performance has changed very much year by year, so what wouldn't have been worth it 2 years ago might be a huge gain now.
PG had an essay about non intuitive things like skiing. IMO the socratic method is the best non intuitive solution for situations when you disagree someone.
Thanks, I was trying to remember that one. I think that for any new, non-profit, search engine to be viable, it has to be decentralized. deusu.com takes 2-3 months to crawl 2bn pages. Yacy claims to be at 1.4bn. I don't know how long it takes for that index to get refreshed, but it has 600 peer operators. Even if Yacy has a weaker indexing algorithm, I imagine that 600 peers, each crawling and contributing their own set of sites must be faster than a single deusu node.

Yacy is also quite a bit more resilient.

I will say that I don't buy Yacy's "no censoring" statement. If I was a bad actor, I could run yacy on a computer with false dns and false certificates, and yacy could index my fake content with official looking URLs.
I second this. No shortcut to search history, just start typing and hit up. Instead of ctrl-e or whatever it is, it has the same "move by 1 word" shortcut as literally everything else on the computer. The pre-made prompt configurations that you can browse (with preview!) in a web browser is nice too. ZSH doesn't compare imo.
Pervasive Sham Deals at Wells Fargo, and No One Noticed?
I appreciate you digging up the relevant text from the manual, but I don't think you should accuse Samsung of wrongdoing based on such far fetched assumptions.

That document does not explicitly forbids this. In addition, take a look at their sample code which indeed reads some cache configuration registers during each call. The same code is found verbatim in the linux kernel, if you now don't trust the ARM engineers :)
First, I am not Gruber.

Second, the hate he gets on every comments thread is very fun and entertaining to read, but I think it is often misplaced, and always ad-hominem.

Yes, one third of the 'review' is about the finish, and yes one third of the review is about home button usage patterns from Asia, but personally, that is why I read them, that is why they are unique, because they are not cultural reviews from The Verge, or technical reviews from Ars Technica, or node process reviews from Anandtech, which I also read. That is also why I don't read Engadget's review, or Gizmodo's one (are they still online?); their reviews are a subset of the others.

This is clearly a case of niche focus, he writes stuff others won't. And I'm glad I get to read his writing because, and this is the important part, I get to make my own mind, I don't have to agree with him.

One thing that can happen with really senior teachers is "double dipping": they retire, start drawing from their retirement fund, then get rehired by the same district at a lower salary (like a starting teacher). That combination might be enough to push into six figures but only for teachers that are at retirement age.

How many fewer cores, and how much less GPU RAM, and how much slower were GPUs in general when this was tried? They're changing quite rapidly—significantly faster than any other component in a modern PC. Any attempts more than 2 or 3 years ago aren't very relevant.

I block ads because they're annoying and I resent being sold something constantly. I have no qualms doing it because what I choose to do with the HTML I freely receive from a server on my own private computer is no one else's business. If websites want to force me to view ads, they can get me to sign a contract and compensate me for it.
If the account is 9 hours old, it's almost certainly crap. Especially if the username suggests it's a throwaway for a specific article.

This would be quite a good argument for not tying oneself so deeply to a particular framework.
>> "I believe that advertisements are neurotoxins, and nobody has the right to poison me."

And you have no right to the content you're viewing but blocking ads on. If you really consider ads 'poison' surely boycotting sites that use ads is the solution or offering an alternative solution this is actually viable.
So what we really want is a more granular search system i.e. 'only forums/blogs' 'not shopping sites' etc?

Do you use compute shaders / CUDA? I'm really surprised at the error rate. I've used fragment shaders in OpenGL ES 2.0 for compute on mobile platforms, and the "errors" turned out to be dithering.
I'm simply going to go with - They cost money.

That is assuming the article is correct at all.
>1. Buy a $5000 car up-front, which is an expensive up-front cost for me (and more than most people my age have in savings). If I've been careful in investigating the car, it will work most of the time and only cost me $500/year in repairs.

Is this accurate for the US? I live in an expensive European country and a used car around that price would cost next to nothing in annual repairs, unless you really drove it a lot. Do you need to pay $5k up front? It's common here to take loans for used cars.
Question:

Does it make sense to use a time-series database if you're not too sure that you can trust the "time" in the series?

For example, let's say you're logging user's locations on a jogging app and using the system's clock as the time record (I understand this may not be ideal). Someone could log a run 2 years from now, for example.
As an HN reader I'm obviously not representative for the majority of the population but I liked it the way it was: text, short and to the point (I looked at the mobile edition.)
>> it's not just cars as status symbol in decline, but cars as a lifestyle enabler.

That hasn't changed one bit in the midwestern United States. People go 'up north' or 'to the lake/cabin' for the weekend, every weekend. So you need a camping trailer (huge monstrosities in their own right), or a trailer + boat, jetskis, 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, or maybe just some road bikes or canoes/kayaks.

If you have a boat/camper you need a full size truck to pull the trailer. Many people go for the 3/4 ton trucks for their hauling and payload capacity. Anything smaller and an SUV will do, and you have quite a few people who put their kayaks or bikes on the roofs of their car.
I am so glad somebody finally took Gruber head on. His reviews are always biased towards Apple and he fails to take a critical look at Apple's choices sometimes. You also forgot to mention one other thing which is the camera protrudes outside also because of the obsession with thinness. I would think we would probably get another hour or 2 charge if we make it a little thicker.
> reducing the resale value

It is downright weird how everyone frets about the resale value of Apple products. Almost like they treat them more like art or similar than a device to use to get their life done.
I disagree with them.

To me, ads are unacceptable. They steal your attention and polute your mind with subtle signaling and behavioural patterns. I applaud iniciatives like São Paolo's outdoors ad ban [1], and wish it were implemented in many more cities.

It requires a case because Apple must have designed it assuming everyone uses a case anyway. I've used every iPhone I've ever owned without a case, every version from 2-6. I'm always careful with them. I've never broken a screen until iPhone 6, which I've replaced and broken yet again, because it's so slim and the rounded edges are slippery. It's the first iPhone I've really disliked, design-wise. You have to use a case to avoid dropping it. Most egregious though: the thing will not lie flat on a surface thanks to the camera lens protrusion. And since the lens sticks out, I'm much more likely to grab it by the lens when pulling it out of my pocket (everything else is so slick) so my photos are smudge-blurred (along with countless photos I receive from my parents phones) unless I take time to wipe the lens on my shirt.

I just ordered a 7 and will begrudgingly order a case along with it. I felt like the 5 was the pinnacle for exterior design, and I considered buying the new 5 SE version of that, but I really need/want the latest internals given the amount these devices cost.

Given how many smartphones with broken screens I see, it seems like a case is pretty much essential these days, whatever the phone is coated in.

Completely anecdotal, of course, but I'd guess something like 20% of phones I see have a cracked screen. I suppose there's little incentive for the manufacturers to make their devices more robust.

We're talking about the generation that never learned to really do anything for themselves (gross generalization) and are currently expending all their efforts to build services and apps that do everything that their parents did for them. Would Uber or Magic have been so successful without this generation? No (Yes), absolutely not (I'm sure it would have). This is the generation of "Can't someone else do it?"

Seriously though, cars are expensive, traffic and parking is crazy in many cities, infrastructure is falling apart, and the world is basically ending due to climate change... so are we really surprised that the this generation actually wants to a) be responsible and not contribute to this downward spiral or b) wants to live life to it's fullest and not be tied down to things like cars and houses. If car companies can't see that then they aren't asking them, because that is what many would say.
As a "millenial" in Ireland the biggest reason was cost. Cars are expensive insurance is expensive or very expensive if you're young and male.
