I think we are toast.

Last time during the title 2 classification we the people had the Online Oligarch on our side. Not because Google,netflix , and amazon cared about the people, but because out of their own survival. Had net neutrality principles been killed then Google, netflix, and Amazon would have been at the mercy of the customers ISP.

What worries me now is that I don't see the same level of efforts by the Big online Oligarch, this time around. Heck, even google has slowed their google fiber business.

I think we are seeing the creation of one of the biggest Oligarch alliance in the making.

I wonder if the ISP oligarch and the online Oligarch have come to an agreement where they will not compete with each other.

In other words Comcast won't go into the streaming business, search business , social media business, merchant business as long as Netflix,google,facebook,twitter, and Amazon pay them a percentage.In return comcast will throttle the existing Online Oligarchs competition.

Its a win for both the ISP and now the Online Oligarch. the end result doesn't change the consumers get Fd and now will be at the mercy of both the ISP oligarch and the Online Oligarch.
You are missing something, it won't compile at all.

You're missing a Some(val) at the end. Now you could remove the `if let val` as well to make it compile, but then that obfuscates what the ? operator was doing there.
Because you still want to bleach your whites. Sheets, towels, t-shirts from the gym... bleach goes all over that stuff, and it smells great! (And yeah, anyone who doesn't have white towels is doing it wrong. Eww, can you imagine all the filthy on a towel that hasn't been bleached?!)

Separate cloths by colour, and by type (glad you're doing half of that already!)... you wouldn't wash jeans with dress shirts... let the machine's auto-sense take care of the quantity / duration issues.

Hmm not everyone sleeps the same amount of time. I have a friend for whom a healthy night's sleep is 10+ hours, with lots of daytime naps.
Check universities, because P/T developer work is in abundance here usually weekends or remote once you get to know the researchers you work with, showing up on odd weekends. These contracts pay less than industry but the education you receive working with post-doc's imho makes it worth it and it's still more than a livable wage. CompSci dept students don't often apply for whatever reasons, I suspect it's because they are chasing internships at big money corps.
Are you referring to majewsky's encoding? How is that a Go-specific type tag? This is a really common encoding of sum types in unityped languages: the presence or absence of a key.

You consider Ethereum to be decentralized? I don't see its governance structure being any different than neoliberal central banking. Hence Ethereum Classic.
For me, it isn't necessarily the long hours that do me in, it's the overburdening process that strips any creativity or problem solving out of the trade.

I don't mind working long hours as long as they don't expect me to. I'll do it because I want to finish something cool and useful I'm working on, and move to the next cool and useful thing I get to create.

Also, my perspective is from outside SV. I don't have any desire to work there.
"Maybe a nitpick, but given that most other programming languages don't distinguish named vs default, it's probably not necessary"

Not sure that how other languages do things really plays a part in how JS does things?

I think his point is that having them available is necessary, because they both have strong use cases.

"I work in data processing for a large corporation. How about you?"

Having used Chef, which completely half-arses the cookery metaphor, that's not one I'd choose. You got cookbooks and recipes and knife, but then the developers just couldn't be bothered any more so you also got nodes and run lists and data bags...
What an innovative technique hahaha!

Years ago, I did a brief stint at a government agency which strongly discouraged employees talking about their work to anyone.

Made for some quite awkward Christmas party small talk that year. "So, I hear you landed this new job..." -"Yup. Public servant." "Oh. What do you do, then?" -"Public servant stuff."

Now, working in the marine industry, it is much simpler. "I get heavy, expensive stuff to the seabed. Oil stuff. Unmanned submarine stuff. On good days, I also get it back up again." "Oh, I see."
Java or C# solved all of this like 10 years ago but people like making this hard on themselves.

> Well, I don't think your app looks better than an Electron app, in fact, you've styled it in a very web-like fashion

Well, it wasn't about being "better", it was about not looking like shit.

> The Blizzard app does not look good and its performance is vastly worse than most Electron apps I've tried, so the irony eludes me.

Well, Visual Studio Code used to drain battery life for blinking the cursor in the background. But again, it was never about performance. My original argument was that newer 'native' applications written using Qt or swing can look just as good as web based UIs
This is a nice surprise for Thursday evening! Just spent 15 minutes playing around with this and making some sounds; very good indeed - when the VCV bridge to VST hosts appears then it will be really useful (although I think there are some downsides to such an approach as I believe this will mean that patches will need to be saved in VCV as well as the host song setup, which is a bit of a pain?) - if I was still teaching Music Tech this would be straight in as a teaching tool as it's so flexible and you can make as simple or complex a synth as you want, pretty much.

Registered and downloaded other plugins simply and seamlessly; I have a new Macbook arriving tomorrow, so I'll get it on there and have a play with it over the weekend with any luck.

No, non-citizens in foreign soil do not have any constitutional rights, including habeas. Boumediene is predicated on the idea that the US has de facto sovereign jurisdiction over Guantanamo Bay Cuba. That reasoning wouldn’t apply in Iraq.
You own a bakery but somehow never bought an oven. You just rent someone else’s when you have stuff to bake.

You own a large bakery and bought a ton of ovens. Soon you realize, why do you spend time and energy creating the recipes, when you can just rent the ovens out.
There is a reason for that, though.

There is no reason to import what you don't need. This is why wildcard imports are generally frowned upon in most development teams. (I say most, thats unqualified, of course, but from my experience, its always been a part of the code standards)

Your code is much more readable and clear when you are explicit about what you are importing.
Or go with a distribution that makes it trivial to make drive-by contributions, like NixOS for example. Updating a package is a simple as bumping two lines and sending a pull request here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs

For reference, I’m the (co)maintainer of over 80 packages in Nixpkgs. IIRC, I submitted my first PR within roughly a month of using NixOS. Before NixOS, I had used Ubuntu for 4 years. How many packages did I maintain there? Zero. It’s just too difficult to track down the right project, figure out the arcane build/packaging setup, contact the maintainers, etc.
Very fair, this is just version 1.0 and I have lots of plans for things I think might persuade you soon, but for now I totally understand. I'll be back

I have children. That video gives quite a good perspective on life, using having kids as an example.

But then who is he to judge? If someone want's to bum around all their life, not do or achieve much. Enjoy having lots of rest time. Watch Netflix, etc. Why not?
If I recall correctly Google started winding down their google fiber efforts after the title 2 classification. If they continue to slow it down, then you will absolutely know we are Fd and some alliance between the Online Oligarch and ISP has been formed.

I'm an Italian living in Italy, and I 100% agree with the parent comment.
Also, I'd add that most members of Italian national unions are retired people, so unions mostly care about pensions,ending being often in contrast with younger workers interests
(for instance, keeping retirement age low, even if it's one of the lowest in the EU).
One must also consider that there's a strong divide between unionized, older workers with "permanent job" contracts, and younger workers with precarious jobs, whose issues are completely ignored by national unions.

"Prove that x didnt happen" is impossible.

Occupy was the reverse of the strike -- it wasn't a bunch of workers refusing to work, it was a bunch of unemployed people protesting the unavailability of work.

Ask HN: How do you keep track of the components you develop and run?
What methods or tools do you use to keep track of the various components (whole systems, microservices, libraries, ...) and their interdependencies in your organization?

When the number of these components grows rapidly, it can become increasingly annoying having to search for these components, navigate between their source code, documentation, CI setup and history, recent log entries, deployment information (number of instances, endpoints), metrics, monitoring dashboards, etc.

I know Spotify tries to approach this with an in-house tool called System-Z (see https://dzone.com/articles/modeling-microservices-at-spotify-with-petter-mari). Have you seen any other interesting tools in this space?

Do you think it is beneficial to have tools that make this easier and show all the necessary information in one place (via UI or an API), possibly along with visualizing application dependencies? Or do you believe this is basically a non-issue, given how lots of organizations are moving into the cloud, where vendors can provide a lot of these tools for you?

Rolling your own distro is a sensible thing to do for a big installation. Thanks to open source, you can take an existing distro (Ubuntu, in this case) and modify it, until it suits your needs. Some people prefer to call such a thing »spin« or »blend«.
How do unions work in the US? From what I hear it sounds like members are "employed" by the union and the company is forced to hire workers from the union? Have I misunderstood?

In Europe workers are hired by the company and are free to enter whichever union he or she wants or not to join a union. Usually all workers at a workplace join the same union and form a local branch/club at the workplace. Unions are national and usually there's several different unions organised under one union organiser. The biggest union organiser in Norway have almost a million members (that's one fifth of the population!) across almost 30 different unions. So when push comes to shove they are able to call a general strike and basically shut down the country. That almost never happens though.
Down this rhetorical road lies Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Let's pray the voters and legislative branch of New Zealand are able to temper PM Ardern's flights of fancy.
Current FCC plans run afoul of anti-trust law since they would allow monopolistic ISPs who own the physical network and services like video, to harm competitors (which provide over the top services that have to go through the above physical network) by using data caps, interconnection blocking and other anti-competitive approaches. How is that not a serious legal argument?
Thanks - but us folks at Google still wouldn't employ you, because you know, inverted binary tree tests and all that.

He did succeed, only he didn't define success very well.
1. His game got good reviews and did quite well.
2. He set a target at 700 units. He should've set the target at x units / month. Or, even better: x% growth / month.
3. Why did he quit his job? Why not make the game in your spare time and release it a year later?
4. 4 months worth of savings is way too little. I sometimes get nervous with ~1.5 years of savings and I'm not aspiring to start on my own.

Seems like he was a little bit naive in the financials.
Transmission comes to mind. It as a gtk, osx and Qt GUI
My first "industry" job back in 1996 was working for Eurocom Laptops in Ottawa, Canada. I think they're still around..

They were/are a Clevo reseller (back then the company was called Kapok), and our leadership and hardware team went to Taiwan for quarterly meetings - along with other territory partners - to have round-table discussions to help the factory decide what to put in upcoming models, and so on..

So I would believe that this is in fact still the process that happens to this day..

The factory (Clevo) focused on sourcing parts and assembling the units, but even back then they leaned pretty heavily on their retail/B2B partners to help them figure out what machines they should be building.

If System76 is moving enough units for them, you can bet they are asking them for input and guidance on what to put in their machines.

There is a systemic cost: the cumulative effect of encouraging the expectation to find things on Github. It also costs time to maintain an additional remote if you want to interact with potential contributors.

Using Github only to say "hey, don't forget about this piece of software that you shouldn't be looking for on Github" is a terrible habit as it artificially inflates the importance of Github for Free Software and ... we already have search engines for that kind of thing.
Unions: We demand high pay for high-quality work!

Management: We don't want high-quality work. Bye.
Yep, this is true. In fact the only software dev work I've been paid to do in 2 years has been part-time a uni in Manitoba working with a post-doc there. It's way more rewarding overall than anything I've been fired for doing in an office somewhere accounting for my story points.
This is more "why fixed camera stereoscopy doesn't work and never will". If you have enough data to re-pose both eyes and track focus, then suddenly all of these concerns dissolve.
Under deflationary conditions banks don't lend out because banks too want to get the above market returns of deflationary cash. That is why the amount of excess reserves (unlent money) shot up during the last financial crisis. This is a bit of a simplification. You also have to take into account risk and liquidity. Banks or anyone else won't lend out or invest unless the money has a lower return than market investment or that the volatile money gets too risky to hold. Eventually money gets pushed towards enough volatility that some level of investment returns. This might help avoid complete economic ruin.

Google Cloud Startup Program
Hi,

We are a small startup but we don't have nor need the backing of a VC etc. Google cloud's startup program only accepts applications from those startups. Does anyone know a way of getting credits or a welcome package without this?
All car manufacturers except Ford were bailed out, and Ford is about as unionised as anybody else.

Not to mention the bank bailouts, and I don't remember banks being known for their exceptionally strong labour organisation.

The bailouts were the reaction to an exogenous shock, the recession, and have not much to say about labour politics. In fact unions have the ability to collectively negotiate wage stalls, like in Germany in the early 2000s or Scandinavia in the 80s. Which is a positive in recessions to maintain employment and liquidity.
I don't want any thank you notes. Never asked and never will. I just don't like people who are rude, and I find them annoying. I don't know what's wrong with feeling annoyed by them being rude to me.

This is the case in the EU as well. If your company is of a certain size, you are required to pay a person that works for the union rather than for the company.
