I'm Russian, so it's easy to follow the local news and social media.

Also, I follow a variety of "interesting" people on LiveJournal. Among them are some separatist militia fighters from Donbass, so I get a scoop of their inner news, rumors and propaganda. These guys are actually surprisingly ready to share with most anyone who's willing to listen - they have a lot of broken expectations, and many are angry in a very loud way.
Ask HN: Recommendation for open-source self-hosted collaboration software
Hey HN guys,

there are dozens of open source self-hosted collaboration solutions. Can you recommend any of them you have good experience with?

Required standard features like upcoming events, calendar, mail integration and notification, document and contact details sharing, discussion boards, internal wiki, possible attendance system integration.

Community is from non-technical people so it needs to have user friendly GUI (CLI interface not needed). Solution needs to be open-source and self-hosted.

Thanks
Essentially all those cases are cases where the other traffic is clearly at fault for not being situationally aware. It's akin to victim blaming to suggest that one would need to ride 'assertively' in order to survive in traffic.

All you should have to do to survive in traffic is to obey the traffic rules and the onus is on the rest of the traffic to give you the space you require in order to be safe. Anything less simply won't do.

Is this article the source of your claim?

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/women-cycling-in-londo...

If so I'd expect something a little bit more substantial to be presented as 'the leading theory', it's just a news paper article repeating a claim by a sports cyclist.

Lorries should be equipped with mirrors overseeing the area to the immediate side of the vehicle. And contrary to the statement in the article the safest place to be is not in front of a lorry but behind it, as a cyclist you should never ever go beside a lorry unless it is stopped and unlikely to move in the next minute.

After all, in order to get out in front of the truck you're going to have to be beside it anyway for a while (and how long will depend greatly on how fast you are moving, something a professional racing cyclist might over-estimate for the general population of cyclists.
According to the article, after a civil war half the female elephants left alive were tuskless, because they weren't killing the tuskless ones.
Well for better or worse, people don't like to wear helmets. Cyclists are actually pretty good with helmet use compared to pedestrians and car users.
It's also the more ergonomic way of opening a door, no awkward angle between hand and door lever.
>This is partially why I'm wary of devices with batteries which aren't easily removable.

Why? It seems like the batteries burn out fast enough that it wouldn't be possible to safely remove one once it starts smoking. In any case doing so might save the phone - unlikely but it might - however now you have a completely naked ignited incendiary device lying on your carpet, rather than one enclosed in a protective case. That sounds to me like a worse situation to be in. And anyway now you've saved your phone at great personal risk, what are you going to do with it? Put another Note 7 battery in it and keep on using it? I'm curious what your reasoning is here.
Lights (rear and front) are compulsory by law in the Netherlands too, though many still do not use them.
I don't know about this project, but having all processes in the same address space can simplify inter-operation - calling code and accessing data of another process. But that would also require some novel protection (access rights) principle, other than address space separation. The project mentions nothing like this.
Sure. It's an example of terrible practice though.
Nice too see an alternative for linux since OneDrive is probably has the best pricing out there. I used to be an SpiderOak customer but has switched to OneDrive since it's better in several ways and half the price for the same storage.

It's nice to have auto-upload for my photos taken on my phone. I wish SpiderOak made their client simpler to use since last time I tried it was kind of confusing GUI even for me as a programmer.
The only real thing then is to ban bicycles. or cars. Both parties need to learn to co-operate, because while separated lanes will help improve safety, the fact remains that the two will always need to share roads, just like pedestrians do in many ways (think crossings)
No.

Yesterday my friends Mac crashed hard while they were working on a foolishly unsaved one-and-a-half page document in LibreOffice.

At the next start LibreOffice gives a big warning of "Oh shit things are really wrong, should I fix them for you? [Continue | Cancel]" .

Thank you LibreOffice team for making it so that within the time of a phone call to me plus the time it took to press "Continue" they were able to recover the their document and continue working.

This "attempt to rectify" the problem, could only have made things better not worse, so that's reasonable to implement.

I am not saying that every problem needs a solution like this. But blanket statements like "crash whenever there is a problem with your environment", while certainly the correct way to do it in some cases, leads to software that's really shitty use if that's all the software does.

Because while

> Almost all of these are the wrong numbers.

is correct from a programmers point of view, we aren't talking about the numbers a user put in, but rather numbers that the user has no control about.

And not many things are more annoying than computers doing unexpected things for reasons that are incomprehensible to you.
I was surprised to agree a lot on what Disney's Tomorrowland stated on that exact matter.
Let's just agree that we will all disagree.

Then let's agree just to accept that there is no ideal, but that there is benefit in using the same formatting, and that perhaps we should create a sqlfmt utility like gofmt and all just use that.
Kinda. Best i can find is that AmigaOS didn't have memory protection because the 68k initially didn't have it, but later variants got it (68030 onwards?).

I think there was similar issues with (classic) Mac OS and Windows 9x.
Thanks for the comment. I might even pursue that if I still cared but I left the country which makes that option substantially more inconvenient.

If you've tried driving in the Netherlands, you know why so many people prefer to ride a bike instead. Well maintained, but narrow and extremely busy roads, densely packed with tiny vehicles. Wearing a helmet while cycling in the Dutch bike lanes is a bit like wearing a helmet while walking on the side walk. I used to only wear it while racing.

Since I had a bad crash after being hit in the eye by an insect, I wear a helmet and cycling glasses on my commute as well. This has a remarkable effect on how you are treated in traffic. Gone is the usual friendly coexistence between cyclists, pedestrians, drivers and even scooters. Without the helmet, I'm just one of the thousands riding their bike to work, but wearing it, apparently now I'm an asshole bike racer who needs to be taught a lesson, much the way cyclists in general seem to be treated in cycling-hostile countries. A helmet doesn't really make you feel safer if it changes the way you're treated by the rest of traffic.
> it breaks the Samsung monopoly over Android

Is there a Samsung monopoly over Android? Apparently Samsung sells about 25% of smartphones https://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-market-share.jsp and 85% of sold smartphones are Android... so certainly not a monopoly.
The definition suggests we should focus on the context that disables people -- the mismatch between abilities and affordances, because as you point out, disability being part of humanity isn't a useful result.

For example, until the mid 20th century, deaf people in Martha's Vineyard might have been atypical (0.7% of population) but because islanders used MVSL, deaf islanders were not disabled. Later conditions changed, sign fell out of use, and deafness became a communication barrier.

Sure, if more people were deaf, Martha's Vineyard would still use sign. But deafness itself is not a sufficient condition to be disabled... rather the direct cause is society.

Well, now I work in a male-dominated field but I would be offended by the same arguments/thinking if I worked in a female-dominated field and they used the same arguments there but for men.

Maybe harassment is an issue, not that I've experienced it in my country, but creating seperate groups and focusing on gender even more is just making the entire issue worse. It won't stop any harassment in public spaces either.
I see nothing in this article indicating why it would? Shareholders want profits. Why would they allow twitter to go non-profit?

If you want a non-profit twitter, make a non-profit alternative and hope for Twitter to die.
"My intent is to continue personally supporting and maintaining Fossil for at least three more decades."

>Many, if not most of these things are problems with the environment, not things programmers should think about or try to solve. In fact, most of them should explicitly not be thought about. All that that will do is lead to defensive programming - What if X happens? What if Y? The answer to most of them is simple - Crash.

When it comes to time, a crash is not the most likely outcome of not thinking about what could happen. More likely your code will stall or do the wrong thing.

Think about polling, pinging other systems or rate limiting. At the end of daylight savings time your code could easily stall for an hour or DDOS another system because rate limiting fails.

Parameterized/Data-Driven Tests in Swift
They only consume more energy when displaying white. They consume very little energy when displaying black.

OLED displays have a very wide color gamut. If you have source material that was tuned to it, there's really nothing like it. To get a similar gamut with LCD you need a quantum dot backlight. Samsung devices all have a screen mode where they constrain their gamut to sRGB for more accurate colors, though.

In terms of color accuracy, they've consistently been the best around, when set to limit their gamut to sRGB. This (http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note7_ShootOut_1.htm) site has test results for most recentish smartphones and tablets and declared the Note 7's display to be "the best performing Smartphone Display that we have ever tested." Every Samsung device with an OLED display released in the last few years has achieved this.

And of course the contrast ratio is much better than LCD. In terms of display quality, provided the phone can be set to sRGB mode, OLED is as good or better than LCD in every metric. And this doesn't even touch on all of the novel uses a display that uses no power when displaying black can be put to - for example, Samsung devices can typically display the time or notifications in white-on-black on the display persistently when the screen is otherwise 'off'. With OLED, only the pixels that are active are drawing power.

The only problem with OLED has been blue pixel decay. I have an OLED display in both my tablet and my phone and I'm a heavy user, and I haven't noticed any change in the 2 years I've owned them though.

Really, it's just a better technology. It's shameful that everyone has allowed Samsung to maintain a lock on it. I really wish I didn't have to buy Samsung devices to get this fantastic technology.
I wonder if it's possible to find even a rare mutation of a tusk-less male and manipulate things somehow. Or perhaps even if we do, for males tusks are really too much of a necessity for this to happen.
At least in the context of Amsterdam, it's already a terrible city for driving. The housing market in Amsterdam is (and will continue to get more) ridiculous, but certainly not due to lack of parking or cycling-prioritized city planning.

Bullshit. I'm Dutch, never heard of or exercised this "Dutch Reach" behaviour and I was not tested for it when getting my driver's license. Instead, you just look around and in your mirrors to see if other traffic is coming before blindly and like an asshole opening your door, it doesn't matter how you open the door after you became aware of what is going on around you. I call this behaviour the "Dutch Common Sense".

I got two I noticed over the years:

* Didn't think about time at all.

In most cases most don't think about time until it becomes a problem. It often ends up with a system which behaves in surprising ways, and is the equivalent to the developer believing any of those things in the article. But there is a difference in them believing those falsehoods, and simply not being a aware of them at all.

* Time moves forward

This is probably the biggest gotcha of all. Just imagine how many times int the past you did dt = now() - t0, then did something with dt like sleep(dt). Well time will move backwards sometimes and dt is negative. I bet this will make most people here worried and they'll think about code they wrote like that (sure did). I have seen systems freeze for example because they end up sleeping for a huge amount of time (negative number was cast to an unsigned huge number).

A small advice on how to improve errors related to time is to abstract it away from algorithms and code as much as possible. Instead of always calling gettimeofday() / time() / now() function to get the current time, in a piece of lower level code, try to pass it in as an argument. That will make code testable.

I have seen fun failing test cases. Something like encoding the current time the test was written and a dt to current time. The test was working for years then started failing eventually because of the hard coded time.
A lot of systems use the 60hz (or 50hz depending on location) signal from AC power as a way of keeping time. It's used enough that power companies will actually adjust the frequency minutely at night in order to make up for any mistakes made during the day. (Which in turn makes it so reliable that more systems use it to track time, and so on...)

I guess grandparent post is saying power companies go ahead and feed in extra cycles for the leap second. It's not something I'd heard of, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Well, does that really solve your problem? Isn't that just prolonging the real issue and potentially even making it worse?

I don't think the world needs more segregation between genders and I find any attempt to do so ironic as it is the exact opposite of any gender equality from my view.

I'm sorry that people is harassing you or that you've had bad experiences but I think most people have had bad social experiences even if the details is different for the genders.
What Google Won't Find (2007)
We don't let people do drugs, so why do we let them ride bikes on roads? It's the exact same kind of self-harm, brought on by poor life choices. All the problems in the article can be solved simply by having everyone be in a large sturdy steel frame, i.e. a car. Cars are cheap safe convenient and easy to use, so why is everyone getting on these two wheeled death traps?
You can argue about the pros and cons of wearing helmets - plenty of people (like me) choose not to wear them.

One thing that's fairly apparent is that making people wear them decreases cyclist numbers dramatically.
I think this will hold true for the current interest around ML. We are already at a stage where we can not reliably 'debug' models.

I'm stating the fact that when I worked at Yahoo, one did not need to utilize the VPN to connect to production (which is where most staging / pre-prod environments existed as well).

HEALTH CHECK ON Your PROJECT CONFIGURED IN JIRA, THROUGH CLOUDMUNCH INSIGHTS
Interestingly, in Germany there are some bicycle "hub" cities the prototypical example would be the city of Münster. My very unscientific feeling is that it's mostly mid sized cities with a university campus (especially if it's a multilocation campus spread across the entire city like in Münster).

Apart from the cities, there's also some pretty nice longer distance bike tracks. I belive Germany has one of the best bike route network/infrastructure. There's the so called D-Route (12 sections): http://www.radnetz-deutschland.de/en/d-routen.html

But the Dutch are #1 when it comes to bikes (imo).

Fun sidenote: The German term for what is typically known as a roadster bike is even "Hollandrad". In the Netherlands it's known as "Omafiets" which roughly translates to grandma-bike :)
Agreed, it's unlikely to be retrospective on the federal level. But I assume cities are free to introduce no-emission zones once electric cars hit the mainstream. The existing Umweltzonen (low-emission zones) in Germany are retrospective, they don't make exceptions for cars that are older than the law (except for antique cars).

The German gov't also subsidised the renewal of older cars in 2009 with 2500€ per citizen, so that's another model that could be of interest to lobbyists. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umweltprämie
