We use gitlab.com for code reviews and CI, and we basically lost a day of integration productivity because of it.

Yes, our process is too tightly tied to a single service, but it happens because we don't have the resources to self-host our own solution. We love GitLab, but this has absolutely got us looking elsewhere.

Not "Trump", but "one of Trump's companies". There's a difference. Trump would only be really at fault here if he was the author of the discriminatory policies in question, and there's no evidence that he was. Moreover, he testified under oath that he wasn't.
I lived in Taipei in the 1990s, when they were doing a lot of underground tunneling for the subway system. I remember one night a sinkhole opened up on one of the major thoroughfares and a couple taxis and delivery trucks drove in. They got the drivers out, and then just filled in the hole with the vehicles still in there. I always thought that would make an interesting archaeological dig a few hundred years in the future (or the next time they need to dig up the roads)
Last time they decided to play detective it did not go well.

From what I understand bitcode is still somewhat architecture dependent and wouldn't work well for ARM<=>x86 translation.
Late 20's(mid 1990's as a kid) here in Northeast US. I had the same experience growing up, days when it was nice outside, we were expected to not stay in and watch TV, so we would go outside and find things to do. I feel like it's that last part though that may have changed over the years as well. There's so many compelling forces today that A) make kids want to stay inside and B) make parents want to want their kids inside.

In these discussions, I hear people say "I'd be charged if I let my kids outside today", but it doesn't also address the cultural shifts that have happened to both the kids and adults that make "outside" a worse off place to be.
> I don't know why people on hacker news are against transparency.

I hope you'll be there when someone doesn't hire the person responsible for their mistake so you can vouch for them.

You don't have radical transparency because the world is not the understanding meritocracy you think it is. There is no value to the employee for having radical transparency in a post mortem.
I was very excited to read this post, as it's premise appeals very strongly to me. Wandering is crucial, and every bit of wandering I was allowed to do as a kid I treasured then and treasure now.

"Imagine if this had happened to any other group: If we kept restricting the rights of women, or minorities — it would be seen as a terrifying, intolerable assault on their freedom."

Well, I guess that explains my MIA repos earlier today.

No. The jury specifically rejected the claims of misappropriated trade secrets, which was the main thrust of Zenimax's argument.

The damages break down to $50M for copyright infringement, $200M for failing to comply with the NDA, and $250M for false designation.

While I personally believe they did break the NDA by showing the hardware with the demo Carmack cooked up, the amount of money awarded is beyond absurd.
I think the primary evidence is near the end of the article:

"Kosinski has observed all of this from his office at Stanford. Following the US election, the university is in turmoil. Kosinski is responding to developments with the sharpest weapon available to a researcher: a scientific analysis. Together with his research colleague Sandra Matz, he has conducted a series of tests, which will soon be published. The initial results are alarming: The study shows the effectiveness of personality targeting by showing that marketers can attract up to 63 percent more clicks and up to 1,400 more conversions in real-life advertising campaigns on Facebook when matching products and marketing messages to consumers' personality characteristics."

Who honestly gives a shit? Not me. There are a veritable army of unproductive losers who spend all their time on the Internet. Nearly every occasion where I've seen people complain about "censorship" from a website, it's unproductive drivel from these people.

Good riddance, I say. When productive people don't like their speech being suppressed they create lobste.rs. But these people aren't productive at all. They're useless wastrels, for whom the psychological kick of receiving an upvote from their feeble-minded brethren is sufficient to drag them through the day.

I will continue to use reddit for /r/rust and whatnot and it will be good.

Normally, I wouldn't even enter this conversation but there's this trend where people assume that these worthless fools are the majority simply because they spend every waking hour whining about some thing or the other. And then people act as if they must be placated. When really they should just go away.
curl should be fine, might I suggest changing your instructions from:

curl "https://github.com/Flaque/thaum/releases/download/v0.2.0-bet... -o "/usr/local/bin/thaum"

to use sudo and chmod because root owns `/usr/local/bin` by default:

sudo curl "https://github.com/Flaque/thaum/releases/download/v0.2.0-bet... -o "/usr/local/bin/thaum" && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/thaum

What do you think of Blended
Hi guys, I just wanted to know what you thought about by static website generator Blended? http://jmroper.com/blended
That's interesting! Completely different.
He did the work on company time. Thats a big no no. This is isn't some young kid, but a grown man.
I think you're right. Kids being randomly abducted is vanishingly rare, but the faster and further news spreads, the more 'real' it seems. A smaller country would be less likely to see it as a problem that "happens here".

I was born in 1981 and from the age of 7 or 8 I remember walking to school (1.5mi and parts of it along a busy street). My friends and I would play in the drainage culvert under the road, walking back and forth, the far side actually was basically a cliff, but we didn't want to fall, so we took care. I remember at age 10 wanting to ride my bicycle to a friend's house across town, but it was "too far" according to my parents. It actually was quite far though; at least 6 miles and mostly on very busy streets, no cycling infrastructure. By 11 or 12 I was riding my bike dozens of miles from home. My friends and I went all over the place unsupervised, all summer long, and this was just in the mid 90s. It was just your average middle class suburban American town.

I definitely hope people takes these stories to heart and it encourages folks to let their kids roam. But it's hardly a memory of generations past.
To be fair, in a recent brief visit to Switzerland I stayed with some friends in a small village near Zug and saw examples of this sort of attitude throughout more aspects of life than just child-raising. For example, many farmers were leaving produce out with price tags on and relying on an honour system for payment. Some did a 'pay what you want' system for their produce and just relied on people to do the right thing when valuing the items. It was really nice and refreshing and had a very positive community feel to it. It wouldn't surprise me if it's an attitude conditioned through exposure to it in all kinds of different aspects of life. I hope it stays around.
But they have such a cool name.
Maybe I'm thinking too much in the context of pair programming. When I share a workstation with a person there's one cursor there, but perhaps this is a different goal.

... I forget people use vim to do anything but programming?
But some languages have better cultures/eco-systems than others. Java has one of the worst.
Was the Itanium fiasco more HP or Intel's fault?

Either way, it's been 20+ years they could try again.
Crime in many parts of America is higher than it was in medieval and middle ages in Europe, judged by intentional homicide rates. Also, crime approximated by intentional murder rate, outside of periods of war, is historically higher now than in history.

This is essentially how it works in Japan as well; once the kids are old enough, the parents will walk with them to school a couple of times - to ensure they learn the route and to introduce them to neighbors they might meet on the way - and then the kids are on their own.

Japan's cultural safety net (by which I mean the overarching concept that everyone is more or less working together for the common good) is one of my favorite things about the country, and one of the most startling to me after moving to Asia.
The court documents say Iribe.

Carmack took his emails with him on a USB stick (which Zenimax's lawyer called "10,000 confidential documents") but the jury didn't award any damages for that.
I was looking at this phone for kids recently: http://tinitell.com/ - just GPS and voice, but let's a kid be in contact.

I'd be curious if people have tried this sort of thing, and if it works... mostly if it works psychologically. Do you find yourself really giving your kid more freedom? Does it address the anxieties that keep us from giving kids freedom?

It doesn't address the highly structured time, but at least I'm doing OK there by just not opting in to most structured activities.
Imagine how deep their pockets are. Now imagine how deep your pockets would need to be to go toe to toe with them.

Sure plenty of uber larges Incs are "in the cloud" but with mission critical (read: high value worth sueing over) applications and data? That's a pretty small universe.
Yeah. Compare this to the 90s games I've been playing: I can still take a copy of Q3A or UT from '99 and install it on my computer (although why you wouldn't use the IOQ3/UTPG patches is beyond me). Ditto for Doom and Descent (although you need a src port). Thief, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, and Baldur's Gate are a little harder to get running (you have to use wine, and in the case of Deus Ex, figure out how to get the shoddy programming to work with modern hardware), but it's still doable.

Will that be true of FTL, Bastion, Shadow of Mordor, Limbo, or Assassin's Creed?
Could this also have as much to do with the baby boomer generation growing up with more children nearby? In our neighborhood, there are only two other children my son's age.

As another in a long line that identifies with this, my partner and I are taking steps to buy a small acreage on the outskirts of a city where we can 'free-range' our kids whilst giving me access to city work. While we also want this lifestyle we think this is super important for our young'uns (5&7) and I'm more than happy to accept the additional commute to give them this. This will take my commute to about 90 min each way but I'll try and offset with 2 days a week working from home if possible.

So for all the people acknowledging the loss, it's completely an option to give your kids a free range life if you willing to give up the inner city life yourself.

Just encountered an article from AP, which purports to "fact check" some Trump statements. The whole article did not contain even a single link. Not even to the statements they are checking. I went back to look at another "fact checks" from AP - yep, not a single link to the source at any of them. Sigh. And these people probably think Wikipedia is unreliable and poorly sourced.
How do you distinguish a "law" from "astrology" in this case?
That's what I thought when I read the report earlier today. A system with that much complexity is doomed to failure eventually.

I can understand "right tool for the job" but at some point it should all come together. An MVP can be hacked together from bits and bobs, but when it becomes a business it should be refactored to reduce complexity where possible.

Trying to maintain five seperate backup solutions, let alone trying to restore from all five of them, sounds like my worst nightmare. Trying to restore from one backup is often hard enough by itself.
From what I've heard/read telomere length as the anti-aging curing may be a bit overrated, because we actually want to prevent cognitive degeneration (who cares if you live longer if you can't think as well). There's a very interesting ongoing study called the Lothian Birth Cohort Study, where they tested cognitive functioning in 11 year olds born in Edinburgh in the years 1921 and 1936. In the late 1990s/early 2000s the individuals were tracked down (now in their 70-80s) and researchers did extensive, extensive testing to try to explain variances in cognitive functioning between their scores at age 11 and now (why did some people lose ability/others gain?)

I talked to the director of this massive study and he said there was no correlation with cognitive functioning and telomere length [1] and the entire thing may be a bit overrated. Interestingly enough though, he said there there was a strong correlation with DNA methylation[2] with increased methylation associated with worse cognitive aging.

Very interestingly, DNA methylation decreased for Scott after his time in space...

Conversely, if you get dividends but do want to keep the money in the market, then you pay for the cost of a trade (or trades, for a portfolio) to buy more shares.

Frankly, I think the Berkshire approach, or at least companies that offer a dividend reinvestment plan, makes a lot of sense. For the average investment, dividends are fiddly, modest amounts of income that you just need to do tax paperwork for and then deal with reinvesting. Much more convenient to do nothing during the accunulation phase of your wealth building, then sell shares when you want the money back.
Note that they were banned for doxxing, not for intolerance or hatred.

Generally I strongly favor free speech and believe the answer to 'bad' speech is more speech. However, there always are limits such as slander, harmful deception (yelling 'fire' in a crowd), provocation to crime ('assault the man in the front row!'), and more. I think there may be a way to clearly and justly draw a line for white supremacist and other hate speech, if and when we want to do it.

Tolerate all but intolerance itself.

There is some theoretical support:

* Think of tolerance as a social contract: I tolerate you if you tolerate me; or, everyone tolerates you if you tolerate everyone. If you break that contract then you have no claim on everyone else's toleration.

* Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance. Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.[0]

On the other hand, the always incredible Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy makes some good arguments against it, especially that humanity will abuse this new authority.[1] Partly for that reason and partly to err on the side of individual liberty, I would apply this rule only when there is a practical necessity. One requirement would be that the intolerant group poses a threat. For example, a group of intolerant Jainists in Los Angeles isn't a threat - they are too few to threaten anyone in that environment. In a tiny town where they are the majority, or in a locked room with one Confucian about whom they are saying intolerant things, it would be a threat.

But this all is my personal analysis; I'd be interested in some established standards such as workplace law, neo-Nazi speech in Germany, etc.

Are Netflix and other streaming services creating a content bubble?
I was discussing with a friend these days about the possibility/idea where Netflix, and other streaming services, could have being creating a content bubble. Too much content have being generated in the last years, but not all of them seems to be that relevant. I really wanted to have access to "dropped series per users" statistics, but I guess these services will never give this info.

By the way, I am really like the things that are happening because of content streaming: independent projects are being made possible, more original contents (instead of the standard Hollywood script), more dynamicity and so on. The only thing is that bubbles happen and we may be seeing one in front of our eyes.

Or maybe I am just overthinking it?

Windows 10 Apps seem to have bridged the divide between mobile and desktop, and run fine on both.

It wasn't instant, Windows has been trying to bring this divide closer since Windows 8... and after so long they're pretty much succeeded with the Surface tablet/laptop.
I've been reading about the gameboy's architecture and internals (in the hopes of making a game with it), and it's pretty amazing how much specialized hardware there was in earlier generations of consoles, especially compared to the more general modern consoles. And yes, new consoles have GPUs, but those are everywhere.

Your computer has a GPU. It probably doesn't and didn't have scrolling registers or hardware sprites (unless, like the C64, it had a gaming focus).
It's odd that mobile phones didn't change this trend.

You'd think the giving a 6 year old something they could use if they did get in trouble and that enabled parents to talk to them would make it safer.

I walked to school in the 1980s and would really like my kids to do the same, but my partner, who also walked to school, won't have it.

Git makes multi-tasking on multiple branches far easier than SVN. In the SVN days I always had multiple checkouts and a pile of scripts for changing/updating to branches for handling a few regular tasks in that context. Once git won I was able to delete them and have a far simpler workflow.
I feel like this more than a cultural misunderstanding. It would not be considered normal or acceptable to leave your children alone for so long in Germany either.
When I grew up (in Australia) in the early-to-mid 90s I was allowed to roam quite a bit. The rough rule of thumb was that I would need to be home by sunset or have already called mum from a friend's house letting her know where I was and agreeing to a plan to stay after sunset. I think my parents struck a pretty good balance between driving me places when it made sense vs. just making me ride a bike/walk to the local town area or to friends' houses when I wanted to go of my own accord - it taught me responsibility and independence.

I really value it (still) and plan to allow the same freedoms if I have kids.
