Printers are really just a hardware distribution mechanism for printer drivers, which are an unusually bulky form of malware.

Any printing functionality is entirely incidental, especially on inkjets.

If you need something printed urgently, you can guarantee that one of the following will happen: drivers need updating (=> 400MB download, if you can even find the file on the site), drivers don't work, out of ink, clogged nozzles that need cleaning (followed by out of ink), paper jam, file prints landscape instead of portrait, or vice versa, and there's no obvious way to fix this.
Leaked Stingray Manuals
Well, mostly, I believe we need support for custom fields, so we have for each ticket, the Platform, Component, Branch, Type, etc. And those fields can be queried or made mandatory.

You can get then queries like:
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/query?status=assigned&status=n...

And no, tags are not enough.

If rental or "share" cars are anything to go by, they will be lowest spec, with maybe AC and electric windows if you are super lucky and someone wanted to splurge on extra "luxury". Electronic detectors for puke? What universe would that be in?
Seconding, it seems a bit quieter over the last six months or year.
I think it also highlights how a lot of programmers have learned everything only from one point of view. Concepts like interfaces, structures and types are general and abstract, they should not be explained in terms of OOP, instead they should be used as tools to explain OOP.
How Rothenberg Ventures went so very, very wrong
This sort of article and the sort of thinking underpinning it is a betrayal of the uniqueness (relative to the more ``mainstream'' choices) of languages like Elixir/Erlang. In fact, part of the point of using a language like Erlang or Go (besides more production-relevant claims to fame like reliability or build times respectively) is to break one's thinking out of the object-oriented lens.

Not every abstraction is object-orientation. The notion of not caring about the internals of something (as with the article's mention that "This is possible because Elixir doesn’t care how the process works internally") is something that goes deeper conceptually and further back in time than objects as we know them.

It might be neat for weaning someone off an overwhelmingly OOP mindset, but that's not what it seems to be trying to do. Instead, it's just demonstrating how to use a new language without it forcing you to think differently, and that's worrying. If every language is a fantastic object-oriented language, why bother using any given one?
It seems that you could just use Google's algorithms and modify the site trust metric using a front-page spam-score, whilst reducing the effect of link-juice from links with associated marketing keywords ("buy the doohickey on this link", or whatever).

Keeping marketing sites high in your SERPs would make you way more money on referrals though.
Well one advantage compared to Mongo is they actually keep your data safe.

> The former group have no idea that the latter even exist despite the latter being the "vast majority".

This is exactly the case. It's really easy to forget when living in a city that the people out in the 'burbs dominate your bubble in terms of both size and influence.

I don't see the need for a car right now because I live in a city. But whenever I go back home, I'm reminded that living in the burbs without a car is usually impossible. It's not even that the buses are inconvenient -- they just don't exist.
Erlang uses asynchronous message passing. Smalltalk models method calls as synchronous message passing. Therein lies an enormous amount of difference.
Google basically does all its monitoring through time series databases.

Basically the record response times, error rates, and internal health metrics from all kinds of services and service instances all as time series, and then define rules on top of these to define when to generate alerts.

Other things you typically want to record are all kinds of resource usage metrics, like disk usage, RAM usage, number of processes, network traffic and saturation etc.
Interesting that if this were a parsing problem (i.e. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12478538), folks would immediately suggest accepting known good output, instead of trying to blacklist specific problems. The analogue in search would be something that looks more like a directory than an internet wide search engine.

Of course what killed directories in the early web is that they had no hope of scaling.

Linguistic APIs review
Forks happen. Things don't always go as planned. The original author of uBlock handed over the project to someone else, who promptly contributed nothing to the project other than to slap a "Donate" button on the page. The original author then reasserted control over the project by making uBlock Origin.

So to recap, uBlock is a stagnant branch of the project that has not been updated in some time and has seemingly been abandoned by the maintainer to instead work on a paid adblocker for iOS. uBlock Origin is actively being developed, and helmed by the original author. Use uBlock Origin. In a perfect world you wouldn't need to, but, it is what it is.

I was thinking the same thing. Many big open source projects are "entrusted" to Apache after their funding/support is cut off.

Why is Apache taking these up / wasting time on them? So far all of them have died shortly after, with no significant improvements landing once Apache has taken over.

The irony is that if nobody uses the home button, the buyer of the used phone shouldn't care if it works or not either.

Of course psychology and human nature doesn't work that way (I too feel weird buying something when a feature I don't need is broken), but it's still funny.

Git Tower 2.5 for Mac released
Lots of strategies for choosing from large sets. One friend tries dishes at a restaurant until she finds one she really likes, then sticks with that ever after.

I've read a better algorithm: look until you find an acceptable choice, then reject it and keep looking. When you find a better option, keep it. Works for shoes, cars, spouses etc. Might work for restaurants. The statistics say it should usually move you 1 std dev above where you would have been.
If they hide their sell links, shipping baskets, closing pages and such then they'll kill the sales though.

You can have paid news, but it's not doing anything if the mark can't buy the product afterwards because you had to remove all associations with selling to get the news to rank.

View from the other side:

I'm empathetic. I upgraded a Samsung S5 to an S7 and I'm mostly extremely happy. The phone is astounding, the weight, speed and battery life are brilliant.

Unfortunately, they've done something to the design and finish. It's much more slippery than the S5. I never dropped my S5, and in the 2 months I've had my S7 I've fumbled and dropped it multiple times. No damage yet, but I feel like it's a matter of time. I usually use phones without a case, but I feel like I should buy one for this phone!

EDIT: The S5 has "rubberized" textured back panel and grooved edges. The S7 has a mirror-smooth back panel and shine edges. I feel that they've sacrificed function for form here.
Now that is a presentation page.

Two reasons, for me:

1) I don't trust myself to operate a machine that can kill other people.

2) I have better things to spend my money on. Why dump money into a car when I can live by myself in a big house, eat out and/or have food delivered twice a day every day, and fund several expensive hobbies?
The fact that I can use the CI in one tab to build docker images in another tab and host them right next to the repository in another tab was absolutely killer.

Also, GitLab community is free (!) and imports very well from GitHub.

Look for a Toyota with a 22r engine (Carburated, or FI), with a manual transmission. A lot of 80's trucks, cars had them. They are easy to work on, and just last.

I would even buy one with over 175,000 miles. When you are at 250,00 to 300,000 miles you will remember this post.

There are other cars you can drive on the cheap, but I don't know the exact models. Older Hondas last. Older Volvos last. An older 60-70's VW will get you around cheaply, but are like riding in a covered wagon.
The cost of battery is included in the $80. And Apple will almost always do the replacement in-store while you wait.

This is very shallow. Negotiation theory is not helpful when you're plainly or partially wrong, or just in a very weak position to defend.

Here's a classic negotiation example that I just can't crack:

Her: I've told you, please don't leave your socks on the floor.

Him: (mirroring) Leave my socks on the floor?

Her: Yes. Please throw them in the laundry bin right after you take them off.

Him: (open-ended question) How am I supposed to do this if I'm in a hurry?

Her: After you take off your socks, pick them up. Then throw them into the bin. Two seconds and you're are done.

Him: (Pascal's empathy) Yes, you're right. Leaving socks on the floor is just annoying. But understand that when I get home sometimes I'm in a hurry or I'm tired and I don't feel like picking up the socks.

Her: Please just do it. It annoys the hell out of me.

There's just no good way to negotiate your way out of this. Typically negotiation courses and books always focus on how the reader will bargain to win, not to minimize losses or just accept to lose but compromise on an ongoing basis (give-and-take).
As did mine. There are many well known attacks that breaks locally stored data out of its sandbox. If attackers are sure there are bank account numbers, balances, email addresses, and other sensitive info in plaintext, they'll come after it.
I'm the exact opposite - I love owning a car and doing all the maintenance. I'll check the oil level and tyre pressures every few days. Every weekend I spend 2-3 hours outside, cleaning the car, polishing it, then doing the rims, and then vacuuming the inside and cleaning all windows. I just find it super relaxing and very satisfying.
I bought myself an Ubiquiti Security Gateway and the AC Pro access point. Works really well and the total cost wasn't all that much more than, for example, an Airport Extreme…
I fall into this trap so many times. You know in your logical brain that what you see isn't a good enough sample for any kind of statistical significance but at the same time you keep seeing things that every other part of your brain reckons is significant.

Like I see Belgian drivers driving terribly every day and I'm pretty certain that they're much worse than British and German drivers in every way. But the only statistical thing I can go back to is the number of deaths [1], which could include other aspects rather than just stupid driving.

My brain wants to shout out that their's clearly a problem, but that 'clearly' is only on the stretch of road I see. It could be that Belgian drivers are really good everywhere else in Belgium.

No, there are dual 2-core big.LITTLE implementations (the K3V3): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE#Implementations

Besides, Using 2 instead of 4 cores isn't really a notable difference. It's certainly not enough of a differentiator to make his claim meaningfully true. But that's beside the point because dual 2-core chips exist.

Why is it a barrier to adoption? Our intend is to make it easy and possible to use only part of GitLab, whilst integrating with your other tools.

The integration with our own tools will always be better, because we can do things that'd be hard with external tools, but if you want to use something else for anything, it'll work with GitLab.
Can you elaborate on the self-posts bit?
As far as I can tell, the Google Camera app still has this option. Not sure about an iOS version but if they made one I wasn't aware of it. It was actually what I thought of when they mentioned similar functionality in the new iOS camera app.
We have seen many.

Big joins are our best use case. Joins are hard for many databases to optimize when they have not seen them before or are not "expecting" them like when you let amazon know how to partition your different tables onto the same physical machines so that redshift can return your query in a reasonble amount of time. But most SQL operations can be accelerated by the use of GPU's. Order by (holy smokes it helps), arithmetic or date transformations (20-30x for comparable cpu code), predicates, group by. All of these operations are happening over vectors of data. SIMD rock out when it comes to running these kinds of loads. The only use cases that we actually think are very poorly suited to gpus thus far (and this is a nut someone will one day probably crack) is wild card string searches. Some of our competitors handle this by caching all the data in GPU RAM but we consider that to be "cheating" since you would never be able to justify the pcie transfer to do wild card string searches.
I'm pretty much in agreement with this. I don't want to be advertised to unless I'm specifically looking for something and the ad is relevant to exactly that for exactly the time I'm looking for it. At all other times, I don't want companies constantly telling me what they can offer me. If I wanted that, I'd go to the mall.
This is extortion, plain and simple. Essentially they're forcing advertisers to funnel all ad content through them.

Good thing for uBlock Origin because otherwise they should be indicted to anti-competitive behavior.

No, I don't like ads and I run uBlock Origin. I don't work for an advertising company and couldn't care less about ads.

But what Adblock Plus is doing here is illegal.

Been this way for years. Old dot-matrix printers often had a dip-switch to select 'options'. If there were 4 of them, you had a 1-in-16 chance of it working. If there were 8, forget it.

Its like mean-time-between-failure, excepts more like chance-of-succeeding: multiply all the probabilities of success at a stage together, you get the total chance of success. It becomes diminishingly small the more screw-ups are possible. Inkjet has two or three more places to fail, so.
Three Questions for the Next Generation Customer Experience
If you end up enjoying it, why do you prefer having found it yourself over going to some place that's well known to be good?

Unless you've run out of new great places to try, I can't understand why the former is "better".
Not a millenial by any means.

I hardly ever use the car now, walk most of the time and prefer public transport wherever possible.

Driving these days is a boring, stressful, tedious task that I only endure out of necessity.

There are no constitutional restrictions on what can be taught in schools.
I agree, but I still think the advice has a ton of merit. I've seen weaker ideas padded with features as if the cumulative total can somehow make the product special. ("Sure others are in the space, but we'll be the only product that also does this, this, and this.")

That's a hard way to build something and the result is often really hard to sell. This is especially true with software products where additional features never feel as expensive as they actually become.

In the beginning, it's important to be known for one unique, valuable thing that you do very well. That's how people place you in their mental maps of the world. The challenge I think, is that focus does take bravery. You'll be barraged with feature ideas from customers, investors, employees, and even yourself.

> misconception that the home button will wear out

I don't think it's a misconception at all. I've had to use the AssistiveTouch solution with both my 2 previous iPhones because either the home or power button stopped working. It's still enabled on my current iPhone and I still use it out of habit. I don't resell my phones, so I'm not worried about that aspect of things. I've only had 3 iPhones, 2 of them had the issue and I feel my current hasn't gotten it because I still use AssistiveTouch.
Edit: Intercept is not British, my bad.
> Does this mean if the account has private repositories, even if unused / dormant, that a username cannot be freed?

Correct. We understand that sometimes users will be dormant for a while and when they have data of any kind, we have to give them the benefit of the doubt.
