I'm actually unsure what's meant by reference here. But VP9/10 is the base codec on which AV1 is being built, but many of the most significant innovations from Daala are being folded into AV1.

Daala isn't dead and will continue to have value, at the very least as an experimental/development codec, but it may also form the base of a future static image format (it compares very well against JPG and HEVC/BPG.
This is comparison is over a year old so it's even better now: https://people.xiph.org/~jm/daala/revisiting/compare.html

They were both growing rapidly in a brand new market. What I am proposing is a solution for low budget OS to have ANY chance against duopoly. If Mozilla would allow painless wrapping Android apps, I bet their platform would be in a different place now. I remember my non-technical friends saying they like Mozilla for price etc, but they won't get it as there is no apps.
Tangential question - I've been meaning to set this up - how are you hosting your own email domain? Fastmail/Gsuite/self-hosted?
But it is difficult to tell what has merit when looking in the short term. If you archive as much as you can, you can sift through it all later when history tells you what become important.

Or it doesn't even have to be profound... I was talking to someone yesterday who mentioned that their corporate site had actually been online since the early 90s, despite them being a non-tech company, and he wished he could show us the old designs. So we pulled up some old designs on archive.org. They certainly weren't archived for their historical value, but it was a nice experience.
Why Trading Is the Most Rewarding Way to Earn Income
How do you deal with investments and transfers into savings account?

When I track my expenses I want to ignore them – as I set a budget to spend $1000 this month. Savings are not really an investment but if I transfer $500 into savings it's hard to track the budget – maybe some reference code could help with that.
See now, this is the part I don't get. Assuming that you don't encrypt your email with pgp (reasonable, if you're emailing someone who isn't very techy) and aren't emailing someone else who also uses protonmail, there's nothing stopping them from making an unencrypted copy of every email they receive.
It probably makes sense these days to differentiate between "local root" and "container root" in security advisories.
I can't help but notice that the script link to GitHub (seriously?) in the OP topic contains something involving NRPE and NSCLIENT++ - that's part of a bloody monitoring system.

There are APIs, connectors and the good $DEITY knows what in so many languages it isn't funny anymore that you decide to re-purpose a monitoring agent to delete an account? I'm no programmer but even I could whip up a link between MySQL/MariaDB and say AD with PHP, Python or Perl

Actually the more I bother clicking on the links in the GH repo and idly browsing the more I wonder what is going on.

Not sure why this comment is on the bottom, but this is the most reasonable arrangement to me. Hot shot salesmen at paid on closed deals, not butt in seat time. Not even a vesting schedule makes sense here.
It's something that started as a sign that "we're cool and edgy and different", and gradually become a cultural shibboleth for startup people.

Having worked at dry offices, offices that had alcohol available at all times, and ones that did weekly TGIFs or whatever, I can't say I favor the trend. Invariably, it becomes a problem, and then people start moaning about how the culture is changing because the alcohol is disappearing. It's also alienating for a lot of otherwise good people (some people are alcoholics!)

It's a workplace, not a frat house. If you need a drink, finish your work, and go out and enjoy your life. But then, I feel the same way about office meals (I'd prefer you just paid me a higher salary, and I'll buy my own food, thanks), so I'm not a "team player".

> Also, they don't show versions lower than 2.3 on this graph, but I think it's fair to assume that the user share for 2.1 is far lower than 2.3's 0.8% https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html.

The graph legend says they don't show versions with user share lower than 0.1%, so one could infer that the user share for 2.1 is <0.1%, but they also say that this graph only shows "devices that visited the Google Play Store in the prior 7 days". Devices which haven't connected to Google's servers recently (for instance, because they don't have an Internet connection) aren't counted.

And while the development tools still allow developers to target older releases, there were large API changes in Android 3 and 4 (these were the versions which added tablet support), so developers often will target only API level 14 (Android 4) and above.
That is basically how it works, with the caveat that if you want the kernel to arbitrate your stack expansion you must only expand by a page at a time (and that's what gcc's -fstack-check does).

If you decrement your stack pointer by a large value and then offset it - which is essentially what's happening in these cases - the kernel can't arbitrate that because if the access lands in otherwise allocated memory it doesn't fault and so the kernel never sees the access at all.
Original iPad only had iOS 5 - so no such luck.
Same applies for pre-3GS iPhones and first 3 generations of iPod Touch.
My insomnia causes me to be productive during the best time of day: when everyone else is asleep, I can finally focus and get work done without being interrupted. Definitely valuable to me personally.

As far as any valuable habits at work, I do well to not be as stressed as everyone else. From the philosophy of Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy that I try to live by: No matter what situation you find yourself in, DON'T PANIC.

This, however, can appear as a blessing and a curse: The fact that I come off as too down to Earth or too laid back or lackadaisical, which can upset my supervisor or co-workers because it appears I'm not taking something seriously [enough], although I certainly am, I'm just not stressing about it as much as everyone else.

Whatever the situation, there are only two outcomes: We'll either get through it... or we won't.

Since life is pretty much in a linear dimension, especially when it comes to work, it would be rare that we wouldn't get through any situation and we'd eventually move forward and learn from whatever we went through.

And again.. the downside of this? I'm probably more likely to get passed over as someone who could be in a "supervisory" or "management" position. The plus side? Less stress ;)
The attraction is building social glue. Does it work? It's really mixed; i've seen it work very well for bonding with new coworkers; i've also seen people alienated because they don't drink (for a variety of reasons).

These policies also make so much more sense with small offices where everyone knows each other.

Finally, there are typically stringent "on call" policies for people in control of deployed infrastructure to ensure they don't drink. People further away from the money don't need this as much.
I'm in the same boat as you. In the meantime I'm keeping myself entertained with https://ubports.com/

Android 2.1 is probably not usable at this point anyway.
They are saying each word in ABSL is a unique sign without being composed from other sign elements.

In BSL, for example, [as I learnt it some time ago, at a basic level] the signs for class and group share the hand movement but use respectively the hand-shapes for C and G; they're compound gestures. Or any easier one, vehicles like car, bus, etc. are signed by miming use of a steering wheel and saying/mouthing the word (eg http://www.signbsl.com/sign/truck - see the "SignStation" version of this and http://www.signbsl.com/sign/car); again compound.

ABSL presumably has words for car and truck but they don't share visual elements?

To attempt to answer your question I think the idea is that it's surprising that a language is not compounded from smaller elements, like verbs using "ing" to denote action? Or like how Greek prefixes/suffixes are used in English, xeno- say for foreign (eg in xenophobic: fear/hate for foreigners; and xenolith: a rock type foreign to the surrounding rock) or -lith for rocks (as before and megalith: a big rock). One expects to quickly run out of new sounds (or signs) if you don't compound/combine them atomically.
Yes, we should all write unit tests, have 100% coverage, all that stuff. I practice it never happens.

If you are lucky enough to have unit tests, they are full of holes and/or outdated. I've seen it happen on critical software. The kind where a crash can literally kill people, and where appropriate testing is mandated by law.

Relying on unit tests for anything is madness. They are nice to have, but they are just another layer in a defense in depth strategy, not something you can count on. Static checks (including typing) is another layer, just like code reviews, functional tests, etc...

And yeah, you can write very robust code in any language, but Python doesn't help much.
You can do it yourself with AWS, Azure, etc. There are many ways to set it up, see

It is affordable so long as (1) you turn the machine off when you are not using it, and (2) you don't allocate a huge amount of storage. It is easy to attach a 500GB volume but you pay for that even when the server is shut down; the cost for 10GB of storage is almost nothing in comparison.
To be honest I wish I could find a listing of alcohol free offices and offices that don't have a drinking culture. I can't drink and being dragged to the bar which usually has overpriced and or tasteless food is a real pain for the cost of socialization.
Overtime? Huh? Since when do high tech jobs that pay over 100K keep track of hours and have over time pay?
General Catalyst and Founder Collective are both Boston funds, so SV rules don't apply here. For better or worse raising in Boston is very different. I did a bit of diligence on this deal as it was going around (for a different fund), and the dynamics of the company stage probably dictated the raise size.

It's not uncommon for an institutional seed round to be $2-3MM on a valuation of $6-15MM in Boston right now. The size of rounds is partially a function of how frothy the OSS tools market has gotten. I'm looking at another hybrid enterprise/OSS deal that has a valuation north of $15MM.

A rounds nowadays look for $!MM ARR so you can say the letters shifted as well :)

And then a web gmail where everything is labeled with a plus(if websites don't accept the plus, I use a series of periods in the first portion of the email to make it unique. Then, I forward all emails with whitelisted +whatever's from my web mail to my personal mail.

Phones have advanced much more rapidly than computers in the last 10 years.

If a thing is still usable and someone wants to use it, preventing them from doing so is violating their freedom.

You are free to continue using your Android 2.1 devices, just not with Google's store. It is your position that no service provider should ever be allowed to drop support for any hardware that might still be functioning?

I gave up using Twitch on a browser, it just sucks (and they keep adding more bloat, weird page refreshes that often load the videos twice, notifications that I have to close every single time unless I'm keeping their cookies permanently)
Other professions? I don't think all professions should strive to get more and more regulated. On the contrary, I'm sure that some shouldn't. For example, if government starts messing with artistic expression (painters, graphic designers, musicians, typographers and many other professions) - that would be a disaster. Same goes for most scientific research, with exceptions for hazardous and dangerous facilities. That were all obvious cases, of course, but I'm sure there are more examples, I just need to think about it (and I'm slow).

As many other regulations, construction codes are there, because otherwise unrelated people lose property, get injured or even die. A building may deprive neighbors from enough sunlight, and that is unhealthy, so there are standards for insolation. A badly done electrical wiring can overload or short circuit - and the fire doesn't know about property ownership and jumps onto the neighborhood.

In a imaginary scenario, if one's on their own land, with no one else around (and no woods to burn, no basins to pollute, etc etc) - I don't think mandatory state building codes would make any sense. And in the virtual space, things are frequently just like that - if something goes kaboom, it only impacts that system. Of course, some exceptions apply (NTP DDoS amplifiers, misconfigured MTAs or hacked websites abused for spam, etc).

And I think IM apps are very different from housing. Usually, compromised communications do not have any impact on third parties. And when they do there are usually provisions for that, e.g. HIPAA.
Hmm. My desktop machine is 8 years old. Things haven't changed much since then. It seems AMD is giving good reason to upgrade.
Youtube's streaming is so laughable that youtubers will upload a video announcing that they are live on Twitch.

The Youtube notifications are absolutely terrible though. They stick around after the streamer is done, so every time I open YouTube I get notifications like "someone is live!" when the stream ended 8 hours ago.
You'll need to fix that. As other have pointed out: If I'm not a fan of spam then I'm likely not a fan of desktop notifications either.

Who watches twitch?

I mean this seriously; not as a dig. Why be exclusive when everyone knows youtube? I may even watch a video if i see it when browsing.

But who just watches OTHER PEOPLE play games for fun? How can you build a hugely expensive business off this? Is it all basically advertising for video games funded by companies?
Ask HN: What was it like to quit your job and focus on your successful startup?
For most people, dreaming about quitting a job to focus on a side project or a startup is a dream come true, especially if it ends up being successful. It can bring about so many emotions and fears all during that entire process... not knowing what is going to happen.. and what if it failed? Would it have been possible to return to your old job? So, for those who quit their jobs and were successful, how did it feel and what did you learn?

They announced a "Jobs API" for Google Cloud but it was closed, and as far as I can tell was the non-threatening trojan horse to get the big job sites integrated. ( https://cloud.google.com/jobs-api/ ) As you can see, Google is already including job postings directly from companies - which is in contrast to what they claimed they were going to do with the Cloud Jobs API. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr_8oNKtB98 )

This move, like so many other things Google does now, just pushes the organic results further down and off page 1.

In the short to mid term, the other job sites - Indeed, Monster, Ziprecruiter, could act as a funnel for populating the longer tail of job postings. In aggregate, it is very, very hard to get postings from all of these small businesses that lack a robust ATS. That is why companies like Ziprecruiter have to run their ads (to acquire employers) all over the place.

In the long term, it will be easy for Google to cut out the other job sites. If you follow where job sites get their traffic, with the exception of Linkedin, it is basically all ultimately from Google. I'm somewhat surprised it took Google this long. Perhaps in part it was reactionary to Facebook. ( https://www.facebook.com/business/news/take-the-work-out-of-... )

If Google takes that path, then it has to start charging companies for job postings. Already today companies like Uber have to hand over millions of dollars to Google to acquire their workforce. I imagine this would only strengthen Google's hand.
Ehh, not always. It is often best to avoid a full OS in favor of something with less complexity. Android Things and Windows 10 IoT are attractive for this reason, among others.

I only keep my monthly spending budget in current account, and everything else ("savings", pay, rent etc) goes to the savings account. And for this utility I only monitor current account which is directly linked to my cards so works pretty well for me. My bank in ANZ so they have this setup by default.
The difference being of course that this 4.8-second compile in 2002 was done on an IBM p690 which cost half a million dollars. Whereas the 15.6-second compile was done on the EPYC 7601 which is only $4k for the CPU, ~$6k for a whole machine.

$6k vs $500k... Let that sink in :)
"The largest notable exceptions seem to be internal file shares, and remote connections to machines that need to be behind a firewall."

Office 365 / OneDrive and Google Drive are even doing away with the requirement for internal fileshares. We used the former heavily at my previous job and I use the latter in my current role. Both have been pretty good alternatives.
I think it's similar to [Security Through Obscurity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity), since Google may not be interested in one single person. But still, it only means Google doesn't want to, It doesn't mean they are not able to. Plus, using Google Sheets as backend means you have to choose "publish to the web". While the data was set to public, you've dropped the [expectation of privacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expectation_of_privacy). And I'm sure Google is still going to analyze your usage of their product no matter what.
yup. Exclusive deals are just like exclusive games for consoles. It only feels good for the first party publisher and the fanboys but its bad for pretty much everyone else.

Google UX design in general, across all their products, is user hostile garbage.
