It's very simple: "Just use sourceforge". https://sourceforge.net/

GitHub didn't invent anything. They only made a better UI.

SourceForge was more oriented toward software users. It handles the distribution of binaries. Imagine a time when 90% of software sites would redirect you to sourceforge to download them. Distribution was first. The repo and the issue tracker were in a secondary tab.

GitHub is oriented toward developers. It shows you the repo as the main page. You can't distribute binary releases (well, it was added recently).

GitHub took over by attracting developers right at the start of the project. They need a repo, here it is. UI is nice, site works. The new projects eventually become well known and carry the reputation.

SourceForge went downhill slowly with their shady practices. Ads, confusing pages and software repackaged with adware.
You don't think some amount of luck is involved? I believe most of your example successes had moments where they avoided failure only via outside factors they didn't predict, control, etc.
Nah bruh it'll work just give me authority over your online rights
(Sigh).

Look at the linear function. It experiences "decrease in the rate of growth" along the line.

If the exponent is not constant, we do not have "exponential growth" anymore — by definition.
Another vote for Amethyst. Also tried kwm but it doesn't work as well as Amethyst. However, kwm potential is huge.
Clouds of gas and dust don't emit light, yet we know they exist and can estimate their mass. Couldn't we apply the same methods to Dyson spheres if this was the case?
This is also intended to be a coordination system that is written in a language that makes it easier to embed (no GC, heavy runtime). Good to see https://github.com/andrewjstone 's work getting ready for wider adoption.
Would you be ok with instituting a law that mortgage and medical debts can no longer be discharged through bankruptcy?

I bet people get really irresponsible when they realize they don't have to pay these debts, they just have to take a massive hit to their credit score....or maybe, most people don't become irresponsible, the people that really need the help get it, and a couple take advantage of the system.
And one they have stated here on HN that the new owners are ending. Judging by the comments everytime they are mentioned, they need to do a lot more aggressive PR.
Not sure what that has to do with a discussion about why Google uses a non-patented codec rather than a patented one. What access Google gives their users is not a factor, and is a non-sequitur.

But also I think you're missing the point of free software if you want to limit usage of free software based on your personal value judgement of a company. That's antithetical to free software.
This isn't some sort of best-practice example application written by the React team, nor has it even been optimised in any meaningful way - it's the same base app started by some rando on the day the Hacker News API was made available [1], and later given the PWA treatment by Addy Osmani.

I hope airships return -- for freight. In Africa it's difficult to build rail, so landlocked countries suffer. Airships would be perfect.
there is something odd about a new modern company like this not using SSD drives https://coinlist.co/static/media/landing.6efaa9c2.png
dealerships in the US are nicknamed "stealerships." People typically don't go to the dealership for service once the warranty is up, if at all. The dealerships in my area charge as much as 4x the cost of independent shops for maintenance: $120 for an oil change at the local toyota dealership vs. $30 at the garage 1/4 mile down the road. The dealership is also more likely to find non-existent problems with wear parts like brakes, belts, filters, suspension, etc to upsell you or push you to the sales department.
> I wonder what Safari's problem is?

I wonder that a lot about Safari, particularly mobile Safari.
Such a great show.
"It's quite a strange phenomenon, and it is basically this trend which leads statisticians to estimate 2070 as having a peak population."

Yes, but it might be a missleading one.
Because I think our society causes many people to consider children as expensive and time-consuming and therefore not wanting to have children.

But that might change again. There were times when childrens were be seen as a luxery or as a necessity, a insurance for old age.

I mean, I am not saying it will change to that or that direction, but I think you can't really predict the future on how the world is acting today as human society changed quite drastic in the last hundreds years. I would rather predict that human society will continue to change and therefore I am very cautious with any fixed predictions.

It's worth noting that kernel development is still git + emailing patches around. It's too big for github/gitlab.
Massive part of the reason is because if the airplane ditches into the water, the life jacket can make it very difficult for you to escape [1].

we have to do something about the interest rates though, there are tons of programs to help cap your payment...but you're just kicking the can down the road as your balance goes up.
Many people commenting here say that github did not bring anything new to the game. While that is partially correct we know that bringing only new things does not matter. What matters is slick,seamless polishing of existing ideas and execution. There are many examples of just reinventing the wheel and making it more beatiful and usable.

To your original question: sourceforge was huge, google code, cvs, bazillion of local "downloads.com" etc
How do you explaining gravitational lensing with no visible mass, without dark matter?

In other words situations where we see twin images of a very distant galaxy because light curves around intervening mass, without sufficient mass observable to explain the deflection?

I was under the impression that we could map dark matter localized to a precision that tended to rule out measurement error or a general divergence from Einstein's laws, unless it had a peculiar non-uniform distribution.

Edit: maybe somebody can explain these maps - http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/03/scientists-unveil-mos...
My idea was that Google+ should have run ads from the beginning, but donated all profits to some large but approachable goal like eliminating polio. This could have undermined Facebook's drive to create an alternative advertising ecosystem, while giving G+ some hook to encourage people to switch.
I suspect harmful content here also include ISIS recruiting.
“Long GC latency can cause typing delays that are noticeable and lead to a bad typing experience. Pauses over 100-150ms are noticeable by most of us”

Pauses over 16ms are very noticeable on your phone’s 60 Hz display; it will cause dropped frames. So according to the graph, the large majority of pauses will still cause dropped frames.
There is a joke among Cirrus owners that the way to deploy the parachute is to pull it with your right hand, and then call your insurance agent with your left hand. The implication is that the aircraft is likely a total loss from that point.

Of the ~100 Cirrus parachute deployments to date, about 15 planes were repaired and put back into service. There were about 150 survivors and 1 fatality in those deployments. Cirrus says deployments have never failed when the system was being used within limits. I wasn't able to find the circumstances of that death, but the numbers show that yes, the parachutes are reliable.

As you point out, they can't protect you from whatever you land on -- lake, volcano, piranhas, etc.

I believe Mark Zuckerberg (and the Winklevoss twins), Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates were all very ambitious people. I'm not sure about Brin and Page, but I guess they are as well. If they had not had the ambition and drive, the companies would have folded or sold instead of becoming huge.
Hi,
I am interested in the Summer Intern position at Vinsight. I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Computer Science with skills in Python, R, MS Office Suite, Numpy/Scipy/Pandas/Scikit-learn. I am a motivated individual, quick to pick up new skills and always eager to learn more. Please contact me at gunjantomer92@gmail.com if there is a role that I can fit in.

...like all the countries in the world that do maintain such border filters?
This was my experience as well. In fact, source code control tools weren't that high on the list of success factors. Communication and distribution were more important.

"Pull requests" were often just a tarball of diffs against a specific version, sent via email, and discussed on usenet. The code owner had to deal with the merge issues if the tarball wasn't built against "trunk".
And that's exactly what dark matter is.

Journalism misleads people very hard about physics research. Physicists dont run around claiming they've observed dark matter. That's the wrong direction. Physics has a problem with gravity because some things don't behave in such a way that makes theory agree with observation. Since we are talking about gravity here, we call the thing we are observing "matter". Simply because things that interact with gravity have historically been called matter. Because its "dark" in the sense that we can't see (observe) it, its called dark matter. As a placeholder for something that has not yet been explained.

Then journalists come around and spin this tale about how physicists have found this super magical stuff called "dark" "matter" and its so exotic if you dropped it onto des moines it'd turn the place into honolulu.

Dark Matter is just the placeholder name for an observation that disagrees with conventional theory.
Whether we are supporting it or not remains to be seen. May has always had this authoritarian streak but rose to the office of Prime Minister without being elected.

Sadly this is unlikely to become a key issue in the forthcoming election, so an attempt at implementation is likely and we'll end up 'supporting' it passively by voting for the proposers.
Can you provide some data?

It seems that pretty much all of Africa was affected by colonialism; even "litte" colonial involvment would have dramatic effects. Just upsetting an established government can lead to extreme instability down the road, and redrawing country borders can pit cultures into unresolvable conflicts forever.

A country not affected by colonialism would be Japan which did quite well throughout the years.
I believe you answered your own question.
The made the right calculation with insufficient data, which means they were guessing. They guessed correctly and survived. Other guessed incorrectly and disappeared. I do not see a difference to a lottery.
I didn't mean middle of manhattan. Even rural Kentucky is readily accessible.

It appears to be a very common trend. Modern mass culture creates more interest in people's personalities than in anything else. I feel it every day myself, when I can't help noticing how easy it is for any serious discussion to quickly decay into talking about someone's personal traits, habits or preferences.

Incomparable, other than they both fly.

All you need is basic weapons to bring a fully laden ship down. Security of the airspace the whole way is very hard to guarantee as those same countries are often places of severe civil unrest.
Everything that has temperature emits electromagnetic radiation. Including clouds of dust.
We've just become very passive. No one makes a noise about being the most CCTV-ed nation in the world. Even when the leaks about the true nature of GCHQ surveillance came out, there wasn't much rage in the streets.

I guess we are all secretly OK with it. "You shouldn't worry, unless you have something to hide."

Walnut Creek sold a CD-ROM that gathered up a lot of usenet source lists. To those of us who had limited access to the internet this got us pretty far.

I remember writing some extensions to usenet software and emailing the author. That opened up a whole world I never knew existed.
The U.S. has lost any strategic thinking.

The U.S. is now fighting a active war against "loosely connected groups from north West Africa to Central Asia" most are Sunni Extremists. This is already a insane thing to do, war on loosely connected groups that reach over 10000km even when the waste majority of these groups have never actually attacked the US or have any plans to. There is also almost no evidence that one can actually win such a war in a military sense. The guy who lead ISIS was turned into a terrorist not in the 1980s when the US was supporting Afgans against the Soviets but rather in 2004 during the Battle of Fallujah. Fighting and bombing people everywhere will create more Anti-American opinions then it destroys. Ironically the only place people actually like the US is in Iran where the US have not been able to bomb anybody for 40 years or so.

Outside of that they are also actively working against and sometimes fighting with the Iranian block (Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and maybe even the Houthis plus a few other groups) who are often equally opposed to the before mentioned "loosely connected groups from north West Africa to Central Asia". This means the US is at a total strategic impact where there are people already fighting but the US wants to get in there and crush both groups but also make sure the destruction of one does not empower the other.

The allies of the US, Israel, Saudis and Pakistan are all highly problematic and in many ways strategically counterproductive. Israel because support for Israel makes everybody else, especially among the population of the region angry prevent the government from embracing any alliance with the US. The Saudis and the Pakistanis are largely responsible for the creation of many of the before mentioned "loosely connected groups" and continue to support them all over the world.

The US supports Sunni governments against Shia governments but is fighting a war against both Shia and Sunni non-government actors. At the same time non of the governments they support actually give flying fuck about the US except for the support they can get from the US.

Why all of this? The US was only involved in the region because of oil. The US does not actually need the oil anymore, even if they did the resources spent are probably higher then just paying the higher price for oil. Not to mention that even without the US everybody who has oil has a huge intensive to sell it.

If you look objectively at any of this you can only shake your head. The danger of all of these groups is minimal. Yet the US spends the same amount of money they did when they were opposing another world supper power.

Sadly in Washington there is a foreign policy consensus and a echo chamber and there is almost nobody who moves very far from the 'party line' on foreign policy. Not to mention the massive vested interest that it supports when the Saudis buy 10 Billions in US weapons.
Why did you code it that way?

How hard is it to answer that question?
Juicero reviewed by an axe wielding Canadian
Excellent read. Still arguably the greatest tv show ever made. The Wire is essentialy a classic Russian novel but in the television medium.
I'd imagine you wouldn't buy this plane if that was a concern. So you'd be only looking at flight times of a 2-3 hours.

It'll do roughly 700 (2 hours) - 1400 (3.5 hours) miles [0]. Depending on weight and speed. So seems about perfect for flying the kids up to ski the weekend in Colorado [1] for all the Silicon Valley folk.

a co-op is a business venture, and so is a form of capitalist organization. But I think your point is that some forms of capitalism are more aligned with societal good than others, and that we can make different choices.
I'm pretty sure the one guy that was on Apple's side misunderstood the issue. He seemed to think WeChat was taking the tips and not that it was a person to person transfer.
Fuel consumption works out to between 2 and 4 mpg, depending on payload.
>the inequity would be if free parking was provided to workers who drove to work but no similar subsidy was provided to those who took public transit.

Really? Does it work the other way too? My employer will reimburse a small amount of public transit costs, but the people that drive get no similar benefit.
Tech Giants Aggressively Monetize User Data and Why It’s a Problem?
I remember being so confused by SF in its first years. Why would I want this, instead of CVS in AFS or over SSH?

The idea that most software developers wouldn't have routable workstations, wouldn't have servers they controlled---that we wouldn't keep running networked file systems over the Internet---totally not obvious. The SF people foresaw a need in a changing world and got in front of it.
If you first instinct is to address these problems with some sort of startup, I think you've got a hammer-problem going on. These are societal problems that the market has shown no appetite for tackling or capacity for actually resolving.
You have a misunderstanding of the problems and evidence of dark matter: https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/6488wb/i_dont_want_t...
So I used to work intelligence covering Afghanistan and Pakistan for the U.S. as a linguist.

People always ask me if my old job was like the show 24 or Homeland. I always tell them it was more like The Wire.
There is something that always puzzles me and I would like if something could illuminate me. How are those kind of massive scale astrophysical calculations made? Do they take into account every visible mass aggregate in the galaxy and simulate them, or just apply cinematic at scale assuming the galaxy centre is a point of certain mass?

I have played a little with N body simulations and I can't but be amazed about how numerically unstable physical simulations are, and how much the result can change depending on trivial simplifications.
I know this is the independent, but is this for real? It sounds like a prank, straight out of the movie Brazil especially with the whole terrorist motivation. And in the U.K.?!
Japan is a terrible example of a country unaffected by colonialism. Perry's Black Fleet triggered the downfall of the Shogunate and the Meiji Restoration, and so Japan's industrialization and embarcation on a path towards being a colonial power in its own right.
My childhood home was on "Eighth Street Drive." It's a two block long strip that is about ten feet shy of connecting with Eighth Street, so they slapped a different name on it.

I find the need to add this qualifier sad. Normally, any rational adult (children even) would be able to correctly infer your intent from the context, but given how things are these days and the crazy laws being passed, I certainly don't blame you for feeling the need to be specific.

See the particularly sad "Special note to law-enforcement agents" on https://sphincs.cr.yp.to/ .

I can't help but feel that things are taking a turn for the worse.
That's not a lack of understanding of percentages, but of Bayes' rule, which arguably is in a completely different realm of conceptual sophistication.

Dark matter isn't just dark, it doesn't interact with normal matter. When galaxies collide when can verify via gravitational lensing that the normal matter smashes together while the dark matter continues unimpeded in straight lines through each other.
LOL. somebody downvoted this, but you know. Math.

Personally, I used to put them under my personal website, seperating each to a subdomain. If you'd like to see source code, you'd download it.
I should have titled it "The U.S. is waging a massive
shadow war in Africa", which is actually not clickbait IMO. I think the current title is misleading, given that the article is more about the already sizable scale of US military operations in Africa.
I actually met a retired Baltimore cop a few years ago in Orlando and asked him about the show. He said The Wire very accurately portrayed his job & the city.
I don't know that there's a generally applicable answer if the api calls are direct from end user -> public api, and on infrastructure you don't control.

The answers would be highly dependent on the specific service, and whatever capabilities they offer. Firebase, for example, has a concept of custom tokens where you could implement rules on a per-api-consumer basis.

There does seem to be an opportunity for CDN companies to offer an API gateway with throttle, scripting, oath, conditional caching, bot blocking, etc. I don't know why they haven't offered yet. A CDN hosted Tyk or Kong instance would likely be popular.
I'm not seeing anything there that isn't a handwavey explanation for "reality doesn't match the models, so DARK MATTER!"
Kids these days :)

Richard M Stallman will tell you of the days when people mailed tapes back and forth, but that was in the 70s.

A key development was Larry Wall writing "patch" in the early 80s, which he posted to USENET. That made it much easier to start mailing changesets to the maintainers of programs. This workflow continued basically until Linux wrote "git" in the late 2000s. The idea of the pull request formalises the process of emailing Linus.

In the late 90s and early 2000s, most projects had their own CVS server and mailing list. Mozilla decided they would write Bugzilla to keep track of bugs. Sourceforge grew up as an ad-supported hosting and distribution server for CVS (and later SVN) repositories.

May was an authoritarian home secretary who was raised (and is a practising) Christian (iirc her dad was a vicar).

She's a one-woman Morality Police (in her head at least).
I mean this with sincere curiosity - why do the toilets dictate the 'realness' of a jet?

Its not like they were rolling the dice. Or shuffling cards.

They were more swift in executions, standing up to "conventional" wisdom, and persevering when others were running away.
