There seems to be a certain amount of confusion on this thread, so just to be sure that it's clear, Selenium itself will continue to work with future releases of Firefox. This means that existing WebDriver-based browser automation remains compatible with with Firefox 55+. SauceLabs', and other testing-infrastructure-as-a-service providers' support for Firefox will be unchanged. The only thing that will stop working is the Selenium IDE which is a XUL extension that allows writing selenium tests without writing any code. This is undoubtedly useful to some people, but as the original post says, there are alternatives in development that are targetting a similar niche, so the situation is not as dire as the title implies (I imagine the title is worded this way to reduce the number of duplicate bug reports that the Selenium owners have to wade through on the subject of Firefox 55+ compat. for IDE).

To expand further on Mozilla's ongoing commitment to WebDriver, we employ one of the editors of the WebDriver specification [1], are making significant contributions to the WebDriver testsuite, and are actively working on our geckodriver implementation to ensure that we have a fully-featured standards-complaint implementation as soon as possible. I also know that other vendors are working on improving the spec compatibility of their implementations, so I think the future of WebDriver is very promising, with fewer differences between drivers that aren't the result of fundamental differences in the browsers under test.

This is super awesome and fun but personally I had to migrate my micro datacenter from pis to nucs.

The "armhf tax" is that you tend to have to build your own images for stuff :( Then you need your own build infra (or "heath robinson" qemu builds) because pis run out of memory building a lot of stuff... but mainly if C++ is involved so ymmv.

That said, I got a rack of 8 pis doing nothing right now, so...

(unrelated http://www.bitscope.com/product/BB04/ is handy if you want to rack a lotta pis, not affliated...)

There is probably a micro business for someone running a slick docker build system for armhf handling the qemu emulation or toolchain dirtiness "under the hood" in the cloud somewhere, on x86-64 boxes with a lot more than 1GB of RAM.
So this blog instructs to install commercial docker instead of moby. I wonder how the licensing goes if you were to use this.

Unless she has proof, it's a conspiracy theory, "trolls" don't need to be paid to be trolls. People are naturally mean on the internet. Especially on reddit. So trolls paid by whom to do what? she didn't lose her lawsuit because of people on the internet. She lost because she didn't have a case.

My point is that a lot of engineers get very annoyed when the topic of "sexism in Silicon Valley" is brought up, because anybody who is in a hiring position for specifically engineering knows exactly how utilitarian the hiring process is.

For positions and treatment of individuals working in venture capital, however, I don't imagine very many engineers would have much to weigh in on. So what I'm getting at is that I'm pointing out how overloaded the concept of "Silicon Valley" is. Engineering and venture capital are two completely different worlds with the same title slapped on them, and it makes it very frustrating when communicating about things like this. I sympathize with Pao, but the title of the article is literally "This Is How Sexism Works in Silicon Valley."

Selenium will continue working, and is actively supported by Mozilla. The IDE (the plugin that allowed UI-based recording of tests) is the only thing that's not working.
One of more arguments: "as a filmmaker of great personal force and technical skill, he made many contributions to the industry, including the invention in 1960 of a device — the video assist, which allowed directors to review their work immediately on the set — still in common use."
Might it still work in SeaMonkey? Unless SeaMonkey also plans to change the extension mechanism...
They can't call it ice cream because it doesn't have enough fat, so that's probably neutral on the health scale.

I wouldn't really consider anything in there to be a filler, it's just favoring sugars over fats.

And that ingredient list is still pretty small. 9 vs. 5 when you combine the two sugar entries.

One thing to remember: it's only one side of the story from somebody who had/has serious financial interest depending on the outcome of the scandal. It kind of worries me how most comments take the allegations for granted.
Not sure what to make of this list. It mixes Proprietary Software with Free Software (with no clear indication of which is which, and no clear license information anyway), and software that is not just available for Linux anyway but on pretty much any other platform.

A good list for me would mention:

* License type

* Whether it's in active development or not

* Cross-platform or not

* Whether it's a KDE or GNOME application (or something else) - since it's pretty relevant for Linux users.

* Patreon/support links for projects where it's relevant

* Links to proper user reviews (folks who have spent significant time using them)

For example, backup solutions are all very, very different in terms of what they can do, and it took me a long time to find out the one that is working for my own criteria. Just listing a bunch of backup tools is not going to save time for anyone, Wikipedia is a much better resource in that regard for example.
Right. The way of dealing with NPEs in the short term is to have patents (encourage employees to file for patents, and acquire companies with patents before NPEs do).

My understanding is that Facebook's long term vision is that no productive entity can assert its software patent rights, which should then make it politically viable to lobby for laws to be changed to invalidate all software patents altogether.
Adding links (to both paragraphs) would be nice.

An Executive Interview with Check Point Software Technologies
Taxation is not voluntary. If you don't pay, there will be penalties. This is coercion. "Nice house you have there - too bad you didn't pay your taxes..."

If the collected money is then put to a purpose you don't like, or is incompetently managed, what can you do? Nothing in any realistic sense.

If you would have liked to have been generous with the money instead, too bad.

As an aside, tax rates are pretty meaningless. Revenues are at record levels.
The way she was treated, though, was disgusting.

I have zero doubt that her gender/ethnicity was a major motivating factor for the majority of people involved in this backlash and that a white male in the same position would have pretty much gotten a pass from the same people.

I got my own office as an intern at Oracle a couple of years ago.
The mainteners have indeed put some effort in making that list, which is comandable. But it was an instant close for me as soon as I reached Education/BibleTime.

My personnal opinion on this is that some 'Bible study application' has nothing to do in the same list as Maple or Matlab. I'll go even further by saying that it's not to be listed under 'Education'. A todler is not 'educated' when given batism, he's just endoctrined. Again, that's a personnal opinion and I'm fine if you don't share it.
How can we control our creations? Can blockchain re-define data ownership?
Aren't Asians fairly well represented in tech, particularly at the larger SV firms? If they're trying to keep things exclusively White, I'm not sure they're doing a great job of it. This of course isn't to say that bias/discrimination isn't a problem and that there isn't a ton of progress to be made on hiring employees of diverse backgrounds.

Slightly tangential, but what's the generally accepted definition of "techbros"? I see the term used quite often but never really understand who exactly it applies to, it just seems like a nonspecific putdown. I don't work in SV though so I could just be out of the loop.
You are right that in order to make any progress there needs to be a way of disentangling this mess but you cannot simply create distance from the distasteful situations described in the article. It is important to realise that regardless of which league you are in, it is still the same game that is being played.

This problem cannot be tackled head on - it's simply too pervasive and too corrosive. Perhaps a way out is to look to the values that we hold dear and develop more fully a sense of professional pride that takes merit and adds egality and decency so that being an Engineer means that you hold yourself to a higher standard in all aspects.
The app does, not the headphones itself.
let's see - hiking with various camping equipment for all seasons, mountaineering/alpinism, climbing + via ferratas, skiing, ski touring with avalanche safety stuff, biking, paragliding, diving, running/gym and so on and on. Do you know for example how big winter sleeping bags are? And you can't store them compressed. Or paraglide wing with harness.

And this is just hobbies/passions. Stuff you mostly don't want to rent for many reasons. Good luck fitting a bike or few pairs of skis in some suitcases :) It is true I have more sport stuff than all the rest combined (non-sport clothing, electronics, kitchen, just all the other stuff).

I've been through phase in life where I could fit all my stuff into 1 small room and still live&sleep in it. Great times, but I wouldn't go back, for many reasons.

What you propose sounds boring/empty life, or very expensive and yet subpar experience on many levels (renting everything all the time).
An interesting read. Though, for me, VC in general is not the kind of job that favors people who are nice. When people are rude to you, or try to use you, there's a multitude of ways you can interpret that. For Ellen, it's sexism. What baffled me was that in the opening paragraphs she felt the need to point out that the powerful men were white. For me, it set the tone for the whole article, and painted a clear picture of her attitude towards the case and people involved. Given the current political climate in SV, it's a poor attempt at manipulation, and doesn't help her come off as reasonable.
Probably, because Asians are positively stereotyped as being good at STEM. But a stereotype is still a stereotype.
That's nowhere near equivalent. For example, it cannot replace the following things:

pkg/test/migrations/%.sql: pkg/db/migrations/%.sql

build/%.cover.out: prepare-check FORCE

(In the second one, $* is then used in the build rule, which is why % does not need to show up in the prerequisites list.)

It is unfortunately very possible for a driver to be asleep, texting or just to make a massive misjudgement. As you say, crossing situations are some of the most dangerous on a bike, but there's no reason why a properly designed bike lane junction need be more dangerous than a normal road junction. In fact, intuitively, general road junctions are more dangerous as drivers are looking for other road vehicles, rather than bikes, and can very easily miss them. If you're going to continue making this argument, I'd root it in stats - show me a place which has no cycling infrastructure yet which is safer than Copenhagen or Utrecht.
> Relying on time stamps is a design decision that was good for its time, but it is no longer robust

I agree with the sentiment, but a small nitpick:

Relying on time stamps for older/newer comparisons is not robust.

Using time stamps (and perhaps file size) for equality checks is quite robust. And the combination with cryptographic hashes is even better (if a file is recreated but has the same contents afterwards, timestamp checks would trigger an unneeded rebuild, while a crypto hash check would recognize that there's nothing to rebuild).
You appear to be suggesting that HN doesn’t cover any news involving VCs, company management, the banking sector. I don’t think that’s reasonable.
Given that reality is subjective, how would you separate "lots of men are being jerks and don't realise" from "lots of women are hyper-sensitive to perceived slights that aren't there and don't realise it"?

I've seen so many accusations of sexism in tech by now that I tire of it. When investigated, it seems to always boil down to one of two things:

1. Some guy hit on me and I thought it was gross^Wharassment.

2. I feel a general aura of sexism that I can't pin down or concretely identify but I'm sure it's there, so I've become instantly triggered by mundane things.

All too often the latter feels like women (and male feminists) on a power trip. The feelings of being offended aren't real, it's just a way to convince/force others to do what they want.

I'm thinking of cases like the dongle incident for that. A trivial remark over nothing that led to guys getting fired. But the Damore memo is another good example. Guy points out that lots of scientists think men and women have different interests for genetic reasons, so maybe we should be more willing to discuss that -> outrage, firings, power successfully exercised. Nobody is ever actually offended by science, or even abstract arguments about science and politics, even if they may claim to be. The offence is manufactured to meet an end goal: the punishment of those who do not bow to the power of the ideology.
5 ways to reduce customer effort
Well yeah, that's the point. Plenty of people argue that Python is good enough for any job (except maybe kernel modules, but hey, people even wrote kernel modules in Java, with the obvious consequences). Plenty of people also argue that a runtime of 50ms is not worth optimizing anymore. And I disagree.
This may be a stupid question, but is there an actual use case for building clusters of raspberry pi's?

That's what we're sold, it doesn't mean it's what we value. If there was an easy way to tell durability at time of purchase, I think the trend would shift very quickly.

I believe it actually installs the Docker community edition (CE) which is under the Apache 2.0 license. Docker (the product) is assembled using the Moby libraries and components.
It's coercive because you will be penalized unless you pay the taxes. The example the government is setting is that it is OK to take wealth from people and give it to others as long as whoever's in power has noble intent. There is certainly noble intent behind Head Start, but its an expensive program that doesn't work. There are many examples.

You can't say that we as a people are being generous when we're only doing what we're doing to avoid massive fines or imprisonment.

6 Fun Facts About Emails That You Never Knew
Literally every single sentence of his comment starts with "I".
What is SEXUAL HARASSMENT? definition of SEXUAL HARASSMENT (Black's Law Dictionary) Harrassment in the workplace or discrimination where unwelcome and unwanted advances are made to a person by one or more other employees. The comments are of a personal nature and often sexual in style and manner.

Clearly the conversation on the airplane, private jet or not, was inappropriate.

To your other point, If she would have dated him under different circumstances, if those different circumstances had existed then his request for her company at dinner (aka a date) would most likely not have been unwelcome or unwanted. Most mature women will not cry harassment if asked to dinner and they turn the individual down and the individual accepts said rejection without further pursuit or retaliation for the rejection. Again, I said most, not all or none, but most. This is the reason that many companies have no workplace relationship rules.

Personally speaking, I do not care how handsome you are, if you show up at my hotel room door in a bathrobe without me having invited you (and even if I had what makes you think you were invited for sex so why are you in your bathrobe?) and you work in a position that can exercise power over my employment, you are not exercising good judgment at all. Why would you not think that your actions might be unwelcome or unwanted?

I think that Europeans often have a skewed idea of American food, comparing modern European food to what American food was like 30 years ago. Every major brand of food in the US has been on a continuous cycle of improvement, reducing artificial ingredients and processing, and restaurants have done the same. And it's not like American fast food isn't extremely popular in Europe too.

Hi Josh,

You raise some interesting points in your article. I wonder how to comment or discuss this the most efficient way (here or elsewhere?)

Some questions:
Have you looked at haiku?

What you describe as modules, I think Alan Kay calls "objects" in the smalltalk/Xerox tradition.

Have you looked at his research project: STEPS reinventing programming?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyIQKBzIuBY

Some bits and parts of this is open source.

Imagine a full system running on 10000 LoC I think this could be a step forward.

Also this blurs if not throws away the distinction between "desktop and web(remote)" applications. Because if integration of remote objects is sandboxed but still transparent you get improved usability.

Also I think you go not far enough. Databases for file system are fine but I think the ida of widgets or UI libraries altogether is not feasible anymore.

The system has to adopt to a individual level, people have different needs and workflows.

Highly adoptable and conversational interfaces are needed.

WDYT?
I imagine the licensing goes something like this:

https://www.docker.com/components-licenses

It's my understanding that the bulk of the components that make Docker work are fully open source, and some extra support and deployment related things are the only things that are commercially licensed. This would include Docker Swarm, as it's a part of Docker itself and not something separate. IANAL though.

I'm pretty sure the reason they go for plain Docker over Moby is sheer ease of use. Despite being a bit weird to understand under the hood, Docker is just dead simple to get up and running with, and using the clustering mode that's built right in is easier to teach new readers than Moby, which from its Github page is obviously designed for folks that are already rather comfortable with Docker. Straight from Moby's Github page:

"Moby is NOT recommended for: Application developers looking for an easy way to run their applications in containers. We recommend Docker CE instead."

It's your prerogative to have a different perspective on the facts presented. But "manipulation" implies intent to deceive, which shouldn't be thrown unless you have good reasons to do so.
It's not a dealkiller for most things, but imagine the opposite:

What if startup time for python scripts were 0.1ms? In this case you could imagine writing throwaway scripts and just spawning a new process every time you wanted a result. No need to build a shell to (say) hold onto a DB connection or things like that. Just write the core business logic.

That being said, for the most part, I/O is more than 35ms.

If you have a "serious" Python program, though, you easily enter seconds-long-startup from dependencies. There's some libraries that do not pay a lot of attention to this and mean things like web servers a bit more frustrating. You can no longer spin up a server when the request comes in, but must do it before.

Using left overs is a way to cook more complex meals!

If you enjoy handling food then learning about handling left overs is a big part of that. If you go back and look at weekly food schedules from the past you will see patterns, were people cook one type of food day one to have base or ingredient for the next few days of cooking.
I grew up in the 70s in the U.K. and I always laughed at the way that at Christmas my grandparents (and parents on occasion) would save string from parcels and fold up particularly nice wrapping paper from presents they received.
