No, only "re-link-ability" is required, thus you can dump only obj files somewhere.

They don't make FAQ about this, because they don't want to publicly state that it is possible to use free Qt for commercial mobile apps.
Science is often far more equivocal than people believe. People on all sides of the spectrum want to use scientific results to bolster their case, and ignore the equivocations and stretch the evidence. There is also the tendency to cherry-pick the evidence that supports your views, and respond to countervailing studies with accusations of malfeasance.
I don't think the two deserve comparison. One is about protecting the planet for future generations. The other is about going into countries to blow people up, for the most part, unnecessarily.

Downtime isn't a loss of productivity. It's when you let your subconscious do its job—making gut decisions, allowing ideas to overlap one another, omitting the non-essential. It's key for creativity, and creativity is what helps you spot opportunities.

Trump got 46% of the vote. Which is normally rather far from 1/2 in election terms, ~25% of registered voters, and about 19.5% of the total US population. So, yea the guy won, but it's hard to extrapolate that to much popular support.

At best you can say this is based on the electoral collage, but Maine and Nebraska split their delegates by district making it an even odder system than generally talked about.
This is the biggest cop-out of a reply. I hate it. OP has already stated:

>I pay them. My work pays them.

Github is raking in oodles of cash and they STILL can't keep their service up without going down, quoted from OP, "[e]very couple months".

It's not about "making a better one", nor is it about paying for the fancier/premium features; it's about the uninterrupted service, which Github keeps failing to provide.

Yes. Remember, there's not really "the Google infrastructure" as some separate component. With a few exceptions, it's all One Big Repository (https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/7/204032-why-google-stor... ).

Google is a very large engineering organization, and (my opinion here, but one shared by others) recognizes that there's a lot of diversity in what engineers like for their workflow. There's obviously a set of standards for what you can choose from as far as laptops (since the company is buying them), but it's pretty broad.

Here's a Quora answer that goes into more detail:

I build an audio ring-buffer app. At any point I can save up to 30 min after they happened. This is a strange kind of surveilance: strictly speaking I'm only (permanently) recording when I decide to have done it afterwards.

In a way I can ask "is it ok if I record you for the past 5 minutes?"
If you're developing a library dual-licensing is a reasonable option.

Many open source developers probably shy away from that option though because they're afraid that fewer companies would use their library in the first place and they're also probably not entirely mistaken:

Enterprise companies are wary of effects licences like AGPL might have on their ability to keep their source code private. Unfortunately, those companies more often than not aren't exactly eager to pay for a licence that allows them to do just that either.
So we should disband NATO entirely and Europe can fend for itself? I could get behind that as well, it would save the US a lot of money.

The govt introduced this law so that the NPA's can be recovered at least partially by the banks, so that the tax payer is hit less. Previously, because of the legal loopholes the companies/NPA's used to drag the liquidation process and paying off in the courts. This law brings a very powerful rule to complete everything in 6 mons.

The banks will recover some of these, reinject money into the credit system so that more deserving can get loans.

I love doing side projects in C#. I'm in it all day at work so I don't need to spend hours figuring out how to configure my local environment or why I'm getting a blank page (horrors from my early days in PHP). If I'm trying to get something out the door to get that sweet, sweet AdSense money, it's going to be in C# unless a static POC site will do.

If the side project is to learn something new, the language is usually what I'm trying to learn, so it's harder to pick what to build rather than which language to use.
What golden eggs?

We are (or were) rapidly approaching a point where Intel would be the only PC, laptop, and server processor worth considering. If that happened, their only competition would have been themselves, the remnants of AMD, and start-ups who would be behind by hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure.

In that situation, would they be likely to keep developing new processors, making them more efficient and more powerful, investing heavily into R&D, and aggressively pricing their products? Or would they give themselves a bonus, their stockholders dividends, and rest on their laurels while taking in the cash for a product that has become essential to the global economy and really the future of humanity?

Or were you speaking of AMD being the good that is working hard, taking big risks, and laying golden eggs because it is fighting an uphill battle?

If so, consider that risks are risks because they don't always work out. Sometimes they fail. And while that works if you are an angel investor risking a few tens of thousands on dozens of start-ups, where any one success can make up for the loss of all the others, it is not as smart when you have a single company you're risking and success means you just get to keep playing a little longer. And having a handful of processor companies takes more than a few tens of thousands each.

>I'm talking about the more common case where engineers don't understand management priorities because they're not aware of the business' non-technical concerns that are part of the prioritization decisions.

Ok, so assuming:

* All user stories are prioritized by management.

* Management determines the exact % of time spent on refactoring stories.

* Refactoring stories are prioritized by devs and slotted alongside user stories (according to the % above).

What kind of hypothetical non-technical concerns that are part of managment's prioritization decisions would become a problem?

Because, as far as I can see, in such a case, it wouldn't matter if the devs are not aware of the non-technical concerns because those concerns would still be reflected by the prioritization.
Not sure if it's typically the case in Japanese custom, but there are a number of scenarios where a person forfeits certain compensation by quitting that they would otherwise be entitled to if they're fired. So if the company can get rid of them by making them think it was their idea, the company saves on severance / recoups equity, etc.

Ask HN: Is there an almost good way to pre-validate an idea myself?
I am interested to find out ways/heuristics/questions on how to pre-validate my own ideas before going with them to talk with possible customers or partners.

In general I have a lot of ideas and I am looking for a way to decide which one is the one who I should invest time to validate it with potential customers.

I found some good questions to ask about my idea in term of market size, is it a need or a possibility, what kind of customers will there be ...
But I am looking for more ideas or better questions that can guide me and make this process less subjective.

I am curious if someone recommends a way to do this in a way that is as efficient as possible.
Probably I am looking to some kind of skeptical analysis combined with data.
Very different situation.

Depends on your level of comfort and future ambitions, of course, but if you live in a country with low(er) cost of living, strong social safety nets, tuition/healthcare costs minor issues, etc. then spending more of your (young) life outside of an office may be very attractive. Which is probably why part-time work is relatively popular in the Netherlands, that and strong desire for a healthy work/life balance.
Well, it's really hard to tell which myth is causing more harm in our culture - myth about rationality or myths carried over from Romanticism. I'm not contrasting rationality with 'romantic' feelings (term that doesn't explain a lot), but rather conceptual with pre-conceptual.
Market economy should be OK solving such problems.

If we’ll start running out of places to charge EVs, the existing places will raise their per-KWh prices to maximize their profits. This in turn will create incentive to install more plugs, and upgrade electrical grid and generation to supply them. No need to bury millions in advance installing the infrastructure before there's a demand.
It's an old movement and the election of Trump and the rise of the alt-right is a reaction to its failings.

Early roots of neoliberalism were laid in the 1970s, during the Jimmy Carter administration, with deregulation of the trucking, banking, and airline industries.[76][77][78] This trend continued into the 1980s, under the Reagan Administration, which included tax cuts, increased defense spending, financial deregulation and trade deficit expansion.[79] Likewise, concepts of supply-side economics, discussed by the Democrats in the 1970s, culminated in the 1980 Joint Economic Committee report, "Plugging in the Supply Side." This was picked up and advanced by the Reagan administration, with Congress following Reagan's basic proposal and cutting federal income taxes across the board by 25% in 1981.[80]

During the 1990s, the Clinton Administration also embraced neoliberalism[68] by supporting the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement, continuing the deregulation of the financial sector through passage of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act and the repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act, and implementing cuts to the welfare state through passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act.[79][81][82] The neoliberalism of the Clinton Administration differs from that of Reagan, as the Clinton Administration purged neoliberalism of neoconservative positions on militarism, family values, opposition to multiculturalism and neglect of ecological issues.
It sounds to me like he displayed great patience and diligence for a long time, and the new attitude of "evil" arose after observing that the former approach essentially never worked.

He can't be concerned with correcting their misapprehensions if he can't correct them.
That conclusion is almost certainly incorrect. Internal communications at Google indicate strong confidence in the approach and viability of the cars. There was constant crowing about hundreds of thousands of miles driven autonomously (with the only at fault accident being the car committing the egregious sin of expecting an overtaking public bus to yield for an indicated merge). A recurring internal criticism is that they have been ready to go to market for a while, but are proceeding with extraordinarily caution. Google probably wants a repeat of the Personal Computer market: open, agile, competative. There's a hint of this in the way they structure deals (quietly helpful, non-exclusive). "You want the technology? Sure. You want exclusivity? Nope." If Uber had asked for a technical partnership instead of straight up stealing the tech they'd probably have gotten what they stole and more with a smile and a high five.
So... it looks like the US has a serious case of pneumonia.
I happen to agree. I also think that standing back a little, albeit with support and encouragement, and giving kids space to develop their own intrinsic motivation is far more likely to lead to a happy adult.

Many of the same researchers that developed the techniques that Exxon relies on to find oil also developed the arguments about anthropogenic climate change. There are certainly individuals within Exxon who acknowledge climate change. I do not envy their cognitive dissonance.
No, it's not a breakdown of what Americans don't know how to spell. It's someone playing with Google auto-complete.

But no. This nonsense instead. Which -- even though they say it's not scientific -- people will look at and try to draw conclusions from, which will shade ever so slightly how they view the world.
Wisconsin in Wisconsin is a joke, right?
Right. It went straight over my head. :)
That's my take on the situation too.
It certainly is a separate issue, but it has many similarities such as shared responsibility, and I get the sense that a portion of the moral outrage is based on a matter of principle.

I just find the nature of some of these discussions to be a little bit dishonest/disingenuous, everyone is always eager to get mad at the US, if you ask them to look in the mirror (whether the subject is directly comparable or not), everyone isn't so eager any more. Nothing to be terribly ashamed about as it's pretty common human behavior, I'm just pointing it out in a Devil's Advocate sort of way, but on a serious note, as a voter this behavior this type of behavior certainly influences the way I vote.

These comments baffle me. Doesn't the majority of HN work in the industry? Clearly the driving factor regarding IO at this point is machine learning and networking for cloud applications, not gaming.

Desktop/workstation (e.g. gaming) performance hasn't been driving the industry for easily 5 years now. Intel and AMD both simply use their high performance desktop offerings as proofs for their server solutions, which typically come a few months later.
Turbos are fairly accessible, and so it isn't a lot of labor to replace (a few hours), and the turbo itself is only a few hundred.

The real worry about turbos is the common failure mode is it starts putting engine oil into the intake. In a gas engine that probably doesn't mean anything, but in a diesel engine that results in a run away engine: max throttle, higher RPMs than the engine is designed for - all while they engine is burning away its own oil that might protect things until the engine explodes. (In modern engines they put throttle valves specifically to shut off air if this happens, but old timers in industry can tell you stories)
I don't follow US politics very closely, so I don't know whom you are referring to; but if they were a fossil fuel CEO, they may no longer have a financial interest in quitting.

China is cutting out coal even turning back ships from North Korea mid shipment.

And China is said to be spending $360 billion over the next three years implementing more green power sources. But has already installed a lot of solar and wind. In fact "one new wind turbine per hour in 2015" according to Greenpeace.
I'm from Nicaragua and this is new to me. But it does not surprise me. The ruling party have made billions from Venezuelan oil. They control the import, distribution and final sale of gas to customers. It's not in their interest to change the energy sources.

Internally there's have been development in renewal energy, but these have been done by investors close to the Government and they mostly sale each watt as it was produced from bunker. This is possible because they own all the energy business in the country.
Without unsigned types you have to use the next larger type and mask. It's ugly, a pain, and slower. You run into this problem a lot when dealing with binary data.

This is absolutely wrong. You can't manually place BGAs with any accuracy. I work in an R&D environment; our electronics are custom-built in-house at very low volumes, and they do use machines even for a one-off. Some parts can be fixed manually if they didn't get reflowed right, but BGAs cannot.

Even if you're doing boards with nothing smaller than SOICs, even there it's simpler and easier to just get a Kapton stencil and use solder paste, though you can of course pick-and-place with tweezers.
