I was looking for a comment that mentioned this! Pit crew methanol fire is also what I first thought this article was about when I read the title!
First bullet point in the first paragraph.

>Too many people experience Stack Overflow¹ as a hostile or elitist place, especially newer coders, women, people of color, and others in marginalized groups.
Man, all these people having this narrative that needs to be spun. Completely impossible to setup something that is hosted mostly by the users, is it?

Oh, wait crypto-infrastructure and p2p did that ages ago. For most services on the planet centralized providers are as necessary as testicular cancer.
No, it’s actively hostile. I’ve seen questions closed, new people denigrated and people who answer questions in good faith actively told off by old hands.
Can’t answer the question of gender and color since I’ve never experienced those kinds of problems on SO, but the site policies are definitely unwelcoming. The barrier to entry to ask and answer questions is really high. You have to earn it by voting on existing answers. I see good questions and good answers shut down all the time. I kind of wonder what the quality bar is for these moderators.
Lots of people have bee saying that WhatsApp was a better alternative to messenger because of better privacy. Looks like Facebook is listening and want to “solve” that issue.
Yes, in mathematics, not programming. And a function that doubles a number isn't idempotent even by that definition.
I have yet to try Blink. I find it somewhat expensive.

Ask HN: Entrepreneurs/co-founders in the UK?
I moved to the UK recently from Canada and hoping to extend my entrepreneurial network in the UK with the potential of finding a co-founder. I'm based in Scotland and would love to get connected to the startup scene here.
The city of london is only a part of a bigger city. A village with 100 people means that there's uninhabited space around that village.
US Bio effects of diagnostic US are discussed at (painful) length in undergraduate radiography training here in New Zealand. We are fairly well aligned with the UK in our training pathway but in my (limited) experience echo techs don’t seem to come from a radiography background while ultrasound ones do. Could be a local situation though.
Broadly, the priciples seem to be ALARM and perhaps don’t do ‘souvenir’ scanning of foetuses. I wonder if anywhere follows that.
When does it makes sense for a European to start a Delaware LLC?

Let's say you have a lifestyle side-business and many clients in US.

Where is the legal tax avoidance here?

You still have to report the pass-through income to your home country.

You can't just keep the money in the LLC and delay the tax?

Maybe you want to buy 10 servers in US to be used and shipped home to Europe to be used for the same business.

Would you be able to deduct those kind of expenses?

PS I had a vanity Delaware C Corp in in the 90s which I did absolutely nothing with besides getting all the cool corporate knick knacks.
It's not necessarily so difficult. There are blindspots, they need to make more videos to cover them. Take a survey of questions in the forum and make new videos covering those topics. These videos could be optional. The learner can then watch as much as needed, thus, the course adapts to the learner.

Tbf, my last phone(Xperia Z5) did the same thing - it would show me that apps were taking ~22GB, but when you displayed them and actually added up the numbers it was about ~12GB. I actually went and uninstalled pretty much everything I could, and "apps" were still showing as using nearly 10GB. I only got it back after a full firmware reset.

The Impact of Speed-Of-Response on Your Deal Closing Rate
Your objection is not helpful.

Being careless with personal data has harmful consequences.

Being careless with food safety has harmful consequences.

This is why these things are related.
This is what I learned. This is what I use. It's nice to have more options though. Unfortunately that makes it all the more confusing.
As a language nerd, I had to take a look. But I really can't figure out what this is about.

"Ballerina makes it easy to create resilient services that integrate and orchestrate transactions across distributed endpoints."

Is it real or a joke? It sounds like a markov chain generator was fed with tech mumbo jumbo and then generated this?

If it's real - what is the no nonsense description?

And who is behind it?
Express Gateway v1.9.0 has been released
Have you reported the channel?
Yes, might be a fun option if all of this applies:

- freely chosen

- not feeling unaccomplished in comparison to the spouse

- not doing 8 hours of chores a day

- enjoying time with the kids (if applicable)

- still having a say in financial matters

- no old fashioned gender roles

- financially and educationally independent enough to survive comfortably alone if the partnership fails

- you actually want to be in that relationship

If you want to answer the question of "should we let people solely convicted of drug crimes free", then the point is that whether it might be possible to convict them of something else is irrelevant - at present, they're innocent of those crimes.

If you want to discuss plea bargains in general, you're wildly off-topic in a harmful way - there's context in this discussion that you've decided to ignore without saying so, and in doing so, appeared to support the argument that people shouldn't be let free because they might actually be guilty of something else (that they've never been convicted of). I can promise you I'm not the only person who read your comment and thought you were saying that.
To be fair, companies gather a lot more data than they need to to do business these days.
Adding 10.000 years to our calendar to better represent human history
I don't disagree (nor agree), but trusting Europe to not block anything is wrong. There are EU countries that are right now blocking something. Porn in UK, foreign gambling sites in Czech Republic and of course Telegram in Russia.

Edit: I of course know that Russia is not in the EU, lol. Parent said "Europe" and I added Telegram as a fun remark after two serious examples (and there are more). Calm down with the downvotes.
The Power of Flex Grow
I agree on most of what you write but thats not really my point either.

My point isn't that we shouldn't have the arts or humanities or social sciences, these are very important areas. The discussion was whether it needs funding or whether we could use the money for basic research instead.

Again not because it's not important but because it can be done in other ways such as self studies.

The biggest issue for the non-stem fields is that they have no external reality check and that opens up for the most absurd studies to be done and more importantly often affect society without any solid base because they can't be reproduced yet might affect policy.

https://www.nature.com/news/social-sciences-suffer-from-seve...

This is not just a problem for social sciences this is also a problem in real sciences but there are checks and balances in place that allow you to test that not so for humanities and social sciences.

And again I am not saying the fields under humanities, art and social sciences aren't important they are just not science.
Archive.is goes to a lot of work in order to make archiving pages on widely-used sites actually work, from what I can tell.
Because if the products actually worked they'd be allowed to claim they work for actual diagnoses (e.g. "Fixes Insomnia from dose 4" vs "Promotes sleep")
Not OP (though I only somewhat disagree with the original statement), but a statistically significant result of a poll (where you would correlate people answers by their background) would convince me.
I've been using Android since 2.x and I sell to remember it has always been like this. The recent change iirc is being able to decline a certain privilege and still use the app.
Took me a while to find the light grey 'create a flop' button. Then I created a flop. Then what?
I'm looking forward to the introduction of this device, but it should be noted that color Doppler is also available on the VScan handheld. I think MEMS sensors are going to revolutionize the industry by making the probe an inexpensive part.
That’s just excellent. It stays. Guess which field I work in.
What kind of insurance can you buy for GDPR non-compliance, where it costs you less than actually complying?
Why would GDPR apply to the internet archive? It's a US based nonprofit. As far as I can tell they don't do anything that even remotely hints at them providing services to EU residents (like offering their site in European languages, having the €-symbol somewhere on their donations page or any of the other more subtle things mentioned in GDPR).
Closed Source Is Best Source
> I should have used "side-effect-free" instead of "idempotent" in my tweets

The HTTP term is "safe method". Although you weren't even wrong because section 4.2.2 of RFC7231 (i.e. HTTP) defines all safe methods, including GET, as idempotent.

I think they use this language because nothing is truly side-effect free. In fact GETs can have side-effects, the most obvious of which is writing the fact of it to a logfile, and that's the most harmless side-effect of all, right until you run out of disk space.

Being a language arse I think the high precision descriptor is actually nullipotent. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nullipotent but I'd never say it out loud.
Are we sure they didn’t just... hire someone?
Can you point to any accessible versions of this? I’d love to check out an example, sounds really interesting.
Bear in mind that the COBOL system isn't a static target - it will be constantly added to in that 5-10 years.
My understanding is that the probes are the expensive part. The rest is added value, for sure, but there is something of a monopoly on high quality piezo crystals used in the probes. This ensures that the current players don't compete much on price.
Given all the emphasis in hiring on avoiding “bad” hires at all costs ...

I suspect that a small portion of companies use grueling interviews as more of a hazing ritual, and many of the rest follow because, well, that’s just what everyone else seems to do.
I don't see why the burden to "make ends meet" in a totally scorched landscape should be on those not scorching it, with those looking the other way preaching to them from a supposed moral high horse. Stuff like the right to confront your accuser is totally lost with these companies as well as on HN.

But don't worry, even being on the wrong side of history you'll still be in history.
The problem is that you can't even identify, much less stop, the cash sinks - nobody seems to be able to do it in any sort of large corporation (or any other sort of organisation). Fixing some random bug that you have no impact numbers for therefore has to compete with the sexy new six-month cash sink that someone thinks will bump stats across the board. "Perfect is the enemy of good" seems to be the mantra, which would be better written as "lazy is the enemy of good." Can we not agree that this is a bullshit saying, and that nobody ever argued for actual perfection? We just have different ideas of what constitutes good (or profitable) software.
I think most buy/lease new cars, but it might be outdated; I think Uber used to have more restricted rules on the age of cars, but it seems nowadays they can be 10-15 years old.

(1) "10k spent in a year on the cars as capital instead of employee benefits" - Right, but nowadays they are spending on neither :)

(2) Right, but that means Uber can't take over the market. That's a pretty big blow.
The combination of right to be forgotten and GDPR practically mandate that this be the case and, as others have pointed out, in the pre-internet era there would often be no record, unless it had hit the print media. Most criminal offences are expunged (at least in the UK) from your criminal record after a number of years, so why should the internet be allowed to keep a permanent record after your debt to society has been paid?
The best part is perhaps the quote at the end from Ignition!.
Ask if user is European, and if they answered yes, deny them service. If they lie, then you have plausible deniability to mistreat their data.

Users of free services will just set their country to non-EU, and continue to consume the services. GDPR will gave achieved nothing in that case.
For future reference, you can rate limit bandwidth with dev tools in Chrome (and probably Firefox), which makes it a lot easier to dodge redirects in situations like this.
Ballerina is a compiled, type safe, and concurrent programming language to make it easy to write integration services, which are typically the glue between connecting different endpoints with distributed transactions, reliable messaging, mediation, transformation, and orchestration.

These are all capabilities that are usually built into integration products around a language, though these concepts are baked into the syntax and the language design.

The platform portion contains additional runtimes components for enabling this functionality including an API gateway, a message broker, a transaction coordinator, and a bridge for brokering transactions to services that are written in other languages.

There are roughly 100 committers. It's a lot of people that were involved in Apache Synapse and WSO2 ESB.
This is the first time I've ever heard of Ada being garbage collected. Neither
ARM, Barnes' nor Ben-Ari's books, nor GNAT manual say that there is supposed
to be a garbage collector (quite the contrary, the books say that GC is
allowed, but usually not present).

Where did you get your information from?
Look everyone, it's the non conformist! Downvote away!

On a serious note - people talk all the time about "the right to be forgotten". Medium is securing and enforcing that right on behalf of its users, how is that a wrong thing to be doing?
>Well, "bilingual" is not black and white.

Not entirely, but it is definitely possible for someone to be a native speaker of two languages, and they wouldn't make those kinds of mistakes if they were.
I was expecting a nice treatise on something like this topic:

https://lispcast.com/nil-punning/
I'm not sure a ratio-to-salary is the best tool here. I mean, why would a developer on $150,000 have twice the healthcare cost, or office space cost, or equipment cost of one on $75,000?
This was all addressed in the previous submission. People aren’t saying they’re made to feel unwelcome because of their race/gender/etc, it’s that people from underrepresented groups have reported those feelings in greater numbers.
Why not introduce aging into the answers? I think SO has a bigger problem, how to invalidate answers that are for obsolete versions of software? Maybe if the answers would slowly age (say lose one point per month), then the old guard wouldn't be so protective of them, and the problem would solve itself.

So, how was your IT department treating them at time time?

As valued employees, pairing with the Java devs on code, attending team lunches and other functions, generally integrated with the teams to which they were passing on their life's work?

Because to be honest I'm struggling to believe they were being treated as equal members of a team if they were behaving like that.
I really (seriously) don’t get why you did’t use POST in the first place? If it’s all for the “easy hit of the url in a browser” there are addons for that? Care to explain? One can’t be that lazy :)
Depends on which part of the world you're in. Have you been to the USA? English/Spanish bilingualism is pretty common there. And there are lots of places where it's completely unremarkable for children to grow up speaking two languages.

You last answer kind of illuminates that you are talking about something very different than me. Academia didn't solve any of those areas and I never said that academia doesn't have important areas we are talking about whether it should get funding which my claim is that it doesn't need these days compared to basic research in the hard sciences.

The worlds problems aren't going to be solved with another expert in peace or a political science major, understanding how to get fusion to work on the other hand is.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't have experts in peace or political science and that they can't be instrumental in bringing something to reality but we don't need funding to learn to be a political major or to acquire knowledge.

Getting an education and educating yourself isn't the same.

> I can do it single handedly

For every 1 programmer working on a Cobol system who would and could rewrite it, there's another 3 who actively resist rewrites to keep their jobs and put bugs in the system to generate overtime-paying after-hours callouts. There's yet another 6 programmers who don't have the aptitude to program but who somehow managed to get into their job and are just productive enough to avoid being terminated. And perhaps they bring one of their kids to work for the day every now and then.

You don't get to do a Cobol rewrite single-handedly when there's 9 others on the team working against it happening.
It uses Project Icestorm which is absolutely great. So much better using an open source toolchain than the proprietary horrors that FPGA vendors inflict on us. I wrote a quick intro here: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2018/03/17/playing-with-picorv32-...

It's a real shame that larger FPGAs aren't yet supported.
>>This is actually a fairly recent change to Android

if by "recent" you mean "almost since the beginning" then sure.

The app permissions system has gotten better over time, more fine grained, ability to deny permissions while still install the app, and other features, but the basic list of "if you install this app it gets X access" has been there for a long long time, v2 or v3 if I remember correctly
I think his question is if SO community is hostile to people from different backgrounds, or simply to newcomers.

I think it's hostile to newcomers, and they are treated the same regardless of race or ethnicity or gender.
To be fair, you also need to consider the tradeoff of continuing to run but not seeking treatment for any injuries sustained.
I know plenty of people including myself that experienced it with Android phones. Weirdly, one of the most stable Androids I owned in terms of phone use was my Xperia X10 — one of the first android phones out! I miss that phone. And my Nokia N9.
Nope because they bought the book. It's their property. My article is MY property.
Any changes that SO makes will necessarily benefit anybody who isn't part of the "in-group", white or black or green. But identifying the in-group is hard. It's quite likely that there's a black lesbian coder on SO that is part of the in-group; but she'd be pretty unique. Anybody who's not part of the traditional SV class (white & asian males) is much more likely to not be in the in-group, so that becomes a reasonable proxy given sufficient sample size.

IOW, help all outsiders, measure effect on visible outsiders.
I really don't know about that. I had the og Moto-X and it served me will for years without issue.
I now have a Nexus 6 and didn't wipe the phone for two years after use. I only did so because I wanted the better system encryption that came with a newer Android and that was only available after a full wipe.
Good idea, but I think a boutique store claiming lots of cash based transactions would send alarm bells ringing. Buying an $8k chanel handbag in cash would be very unusual.
Sorry, this site really needs a web designer.
Which makes their behavior in relation to ElsaGate -- how long they ignored reports and pleas, and how they either did or published zero serious investigation of the issue -- even more disgusting. They could donate the ad money they made from videos aimed at abusing children, knowingly or not, to charities helping abused children, or something like that. But no, instead they used the occasion to brag and pat themselves on the back.

Observe how they treat the defenseless, and how they treat those with clout. It speaks volumes.
Mobike apparently has a factory that can produce 50,000 bikes per day. They can easily flood a US/EU city with bikes just with a day's production. Transporting a container full of bikes via ship is cheap so I don't think they produce anything locally.
I think one of the reasons for the hostility is that people don't give a f#*@ to write proper questions, they don't even bother to RTFM. Grammar issues, no error logs, no links or snippets of code... I think the over sensitivity trend also adds up to this "problem".
I also suggest checking for trademarks as soon as you come up with something.
It's really disappointing to let a name "grow on you" only to realise it's taken when you're ready to launch..

I'm not saying you're an Apple fanboy, I'm saying the link is.

But if your counter-point was “They laughed at the iPhone and look how successful that was” then posting Steve Ballmer's response to the iPhone (a YouTube video titled “Ballmer Laughs at iPhone”) is dumb because he of all people is hardly going to have said, ”Wow that sure is an amazing phone Apple just produced, Windows Phone sucks in comparison”

Again, I'm thinking about applying this to all individual (and human) adult citizens of a country, which will probably obviate the need to repeat the process at smaller scales like companies, where the problem is compounded by artificial constructs such as corporate personhood.
