In fact that was one of rms' points. The broader story is about the joke. TFA's take is TFA's take, it's part of the story but the joke also matters.
Not hugely, probably, as one doesn't care hugely about stepping in dog's turd while walking on the street. Not the end of the world. Still better to have turd-less streets?

You keep saying Uber hired him, but where did you read that? The statement in the article said "we have brought on former NTSB Chair Christopher Hart to advise us". Given how high profile Hart is, and given the focus of his career, I understood that to mean that he agreed to review safety practices and make safety policy recommendations, a topic in which he's an expert on. Unlike wording like "joining to lead a safety program", this arrangement doesn't really imply profit-driven motivation, IMHO.
"You. The world. It's only a matter of discovering the lever. If you learn how to rule one single man's soul, you can get the rest of mankind. It's the soul, Peter, the soul. Not whips or swords or fire or guns. That's why the Caesars, the Attilas, the Napoleons were fools and did not last. We will. The soul, Peter, is that which can't be ruled. It must be broken. Drive a wedge in, get your fingers on it — and the man is yours. You won't need a whip — he'll bring it to you and ask to be whipped. Set him in reverse — and his own mechanism will do your work for you. Use him against himself. Want to know how it's done? See if I ever lied to you. See if you haven't heard all this for years, but didn't want to hear, and the fault is yours, not mine. There are many ways. Here's one. Make man feel small. Make him feel guilty."

I wonder if the "It's simple, just use kops!" etc, have tried to deploy kubernetes to anything other than a cloud service provider. Setting up a production grade Kubernetes cluster integrated on-prem with in-house development and operations teams is no small feat for anything other than a toy deployment. Kubernetes has benefits for some use cases, but I think some of the HN crowd underestimate the rather large investment of time and energy it can take to get there.
True (which is one of the reasons I don't use GPL for my personal projects) but that doesn't mean GNU technical space should be a venue for every other political discussion in the world. There are far better venues out there.
Not a curated list, but I am writing a serialised book on the subject:

I can see that point now. Yes, maybe how our observed physics and universe depends on constant time illusion.

Yes, the problem of how to test such things. That is why it is so fun to think about it.

For all we know between the seconds a trillion trillion tiny life forms that resemble ants slip out between the cracks of space time and take a untold amount of time (to their reference) to nudge each particle just so according to a small tattoo on their forearms. When they are all done they slip away just as mysteriously as they came. And each time they come back to arrange our universe it is done so by ancestors of many generations removed of the last workers who came to enforce our its will on our universe.

This also brings me back to Lawrence Krauss? with the notion of there is not really nothing in nothing and we can't truly ever have a "vacuum" void of all. I think it was in his book Something out of Nothing.

Thank you for the explanation. This indeed is pretty obscure, and if that it what it is aimed at, the joke is also not well constructed - US govt does not ban anybody from promoting abortion with this rule (I assume we accept the joke's premise that talking about this function is "promoting abortion") - it just withdraws US governmental financing. But that would imply that otherwise GNU project is financed by US federal government? Not sure this is the impression RMS would want to make... OTOH, given RMS's politics (as I understand it), maybe he wouldn't mind it at all if that were true.
This seemed interesting. For anyone else who was wondering, the separate girls and boys math circles was due to circumstance not an idea that girls shouldn't learn math with boys or in the same environment. This is addressed in the first page of the girls chapter. I know I had a strong initial impression from the TOC, but it is worth holding judgment.

I didn't read the whole thing unfortunately, but I do agree with much of the material at the very beginning - make math interesting and challenging, and spur creative thinking rather than trying to force kids through a curriculum.
The one thing that's improved conference rooms the most in the time I was there was the switch to TVs from projectors. Because projectors have a lag time before they turn on, and when switched off need a full cooling cycle any mistakes would waste up to 15 minutes. That said even with the change getting an image on screen still dominated the initial few minutes.
Maybe a dumb question, but do companies often support -both- AndroidAuto and AppleCar play? Or do they do lock-ins and partnerships...because if they lock you in, it really defeats the purpose.
This comment reminds me of siberian/slavic shaman music, the whole musical genre is about mimicking different animal sounds. Very strange.

Sure making things more usable may sometimes have trade-offs. But I'm struggling to think of the disadvantage of basic markdown support on a site where everyone knows markdown, and even assumes it is supported. People are constantly posting markdown lists that end up all on one line.

I assume the reason it hasnt been fixed is that nobody can be bothered, which is fine. But it's still a little embarrassing. Kind of like how Stackoverflow doesn't support triple backticks. I often see questions with formatting screwed up because people assume a site that heavily relies on markdown supports an extremely common markdown feature.
My mom certainly does that for me. I try to explain non-intuitive programming concepts to her with analogies, but I don't think I succeed most of the time. I love her dearly for putting up with it, though.
Maybe, but good luck ever getting that built.
You mean the video that showed the safety driver staring at a cell phone for 6 full seconds right up until nearly the moment of impact? Maybe that would have exonerated the driver, but only to prove how perverse our driving laws are. But in my state the driver would have been convicted.
Its not contradictory. If Go-Daddy is correct and I'm wrong then I'd like that to become evident. Stifling ideas does not lead us to the most optimal solution. Much of human history can be described as a breadth first search and a series of local optima - to get to a higher level we've had to undergo some regression. Perhaps its possible to have our cake and eat it too but I fear we won't get there by shutting down discussion regardless of its content.
If there is business justification of joke in documentation then maintainer has no authority to say no.

Growth hacking is predominately about online businesses. And it's a pretty solid fact that there are more of those every year than in the preceding year.

And not sure what you mean here. Growth hacking is not just about marketing. There are plenty of growth hacking initiatives for improving financial or business metrics e.g. employee retention.

Might want to read the book about Growth Hacking to understand the discipline and why it is getting more and more popular. It actually isn't just some lame name to describe a few marketing tricks.
Most worthwhile things are political. If there really is such a rule in some country, it should not condemn organisations to self censorship & apathy.
I fail to see your point here. I'm not sure how much clearer I can be. "proof-of-work mining generates greenhouse-effect negative externalities" is incorrect. Power production creates these externalities, and they are unaccounted for.
>The reality is that driving at night isn't safe at all

Where did you learn that? Sources, please!

Because the reality as I know it disagrees with this claim.
I can't speak for cars, but there's a similar situation with bicycle wheels and tires. There are all sorts of historical measures, such as "26 inch" and "700c," but at the same time most rims and tires are marked with ISO dimensions that are in mm and quite well defined.

So for instance my "27 x 1-1/8" tires are also ISO 28-630, where 28 is the approximate inflated width, and 630 is a particular dimension of the rim. When I buy a new tire, I look at the ISO number to make sure I got the right size.

I recently restored an old Schwinn with its own oddball tire diameter, but ISO numbers published by modern tire makers got me up and running with new tires.

I think that in a lot of cases, English vs metric is a moot point because a tool is so specialized (spark plug wrench) or because production tools are computerized and switch unit systems as needed. On a milling machine, all dimensions boil down to the number of stripes on a precision glass scale, regardless of what units you choose to specify.

Historically, there are bike parts with mm diameter and English thread pitch, such as some old French pedals.

I assume you are writing in an attempt to persuade.

Your message is being lost/ignored as a result of your delivery.

We want to understand your message, but you aren't giving enough background. I don't trust your message because there is no supporting background. If you're going to tell me to not do something, either:

A) provide a compelling alternative (not doing $it is not a compelling alternative to $it in nearly all cases)
B) explain in detail why you shouldn't do $it. Provide more details if asked.

I want to believe what you are saying and be convinced by it, please help me. (Note: I'm not trying to be a dick, I've just known a lot of people who are perpetually ignored because of this communication style and take forever to learn that lesson because no one bothers to say anything)

> They hate flat head screws

My experience with flat head screws in a production environment was the driver slipping out of the screw and scratching the paint on the part being assembled. Boo!

My experience with Philips is, works great as long as people use the exact correct driver, which they won't. Which results in a striped screw and a striped driver. The latter like a bad penny will go on to strip more screws till someone holy and wise (me) tosses it in the dumpster.

So Flat, just don't. Philips is okay for light duty. Anything else use a Torx or Hex.
Definitely not local. Pretty much a given in Lithuania too. If someone lets you in etc, it's just rude to not flash emergency lights. Even if somebody squeezed in like total dickhead during a rush hour

Sorry for the delay. Just spotted this now. I’ll send you a code in a moment. :-)
True for pvc pipes also. Quite confusing.
One of the most significant obstacles against blockchain and cryptocurrency products from entering daily lives is bad user experiences. It is extremely difficult to figure out for someone who isn’t tech-savvy.

This has nothing to do with "blockchain."

It has everything to do with public key cryptography. Managing private keys is a royal pain for ordinary people. Yet every block chain secures its users assets with the same basic technology.

Users detest managing private keys so much so that they'll obligingly turn over their digital assets to bank-like institutions (Mt. Gox and a cavalcade of others who rarely get mentioned). In so doing users undermine the original censorship-resistant value proposition on which legitimate block chains are based.

If you want to make block chains more usable, focus on making public key cryptography more intuitive.

I assume you mean the Spinnaker/K8s v1 provider abstracted away the K8s primatives. The new v2 provider allows you to deploy manifests and supports all K8s objects.
In many places it's illegal to enter the intersection (even if the light is green) if you're unable to immediately leave it, mainly to ensure that intersections don't get blocked if there's a traffic jam in the direction you want to go; and this rule also prohibits (not everywhere) to enter the intersection for a left turn if you can't complete the turn right now because there's still oncoming traffic.
As others have said, the glibc is part of a political organization. If the Chinese government had forbid GNU from speaking on forks and required the exclusive use of chopsticks, you'd see a similar joke on the page for fork. Nobody is trying to deny that abortion is a sensitive topic, politics is always about sensitive topics, and it's sensitivity might have something to do with why the US government legislated on it.
Blockchain is a technology – and as with all technologies, it should be abstracted away from the user. The majority of people don’t care about words such as “trustless” or “decentralization”; those are essentially meaningless. They need tangible benefits such as lower fees. Not sure why people in the cryptocurrency space don’t understand that.
LocalStorage or IndexedDB on the client-side, with Javascript. The "untrusted" aspect is not a significant concern, since both browser JS and these APIs are sandboxed and can't escape a single file associated with the website. CPU usage and disk storage can be a concern, but most non-abusive sites won't be anywhere close to hitting levels where the user cares.

The biggest problem is that a lot of the algorithms that made the web successful can't be run on just one person's data. There's a reason why webapps replaced desktop apps, and that reason isn't just that you only need a single UI with no installation and aren't vulnerable to all the Windows worms that were going around in the early 2000s. If you try to compete with leading webapps you quickly realize the extent to which collecting all that data actually helps them build better products.
Again, I'm not saying GoDaddy didn't have a legal right to do it.

Even Zeno knew the arrow would arrive at the other end of the room. The real question was what was creating the (apparent) paradox.

>It's much more plausible that the dashcam dynamic range was in fact crap and that the police officers at the scene were smart enough to figure out to just pop off the SD card off the dashcam.

..and Uber's lawyers figured that most people have no idea what "dynamic range" is and will eat up "it was dark" as a legitimate excuse for this manslaughter.

There likely was no need to manipulate that video. It was still quite dishonest to release it without clarifying that it was nothing like what either a human or Uber's sensors would see in BIG BOLD RED LETTERS. Most people don't really know better.
Not the same thing. "spam" & "eggs" are very neutral. If they used politically charged terms, and inserted example code like "if brains(republicans) == 0 # always true!" then the situation would be similar. The difference is between neutral light-heartedness and non-neutral political message.
And yet, you're now aware of the gag rule and GNUs opposition. So, on that level, it's succeeding.
But we are in the golden age of SparkFun! There are so many great project kits and microcontrollers that I wish I could've found as a kid at RadioShack.
Oddly enough, even impaired drivers are probably pretty good compared to some current self-driving cars. I'd give good odds that someone with a 0.10% BAC would have swerved or stopped for that woman that the Uber car hit.
Something like this could be developed. For instance, the car could have an array of lights on its grill (think Knight Rider) that track in the direction of detected obstacles, if you don't see a light facing towards you then you know you are not detected and to use caution. Alternately a light on the front of the car could turn from yellow to blue to indicate its intent to yield.
"unless profits are greater than at a minimum of $150,000 a year."

Ok, sure. Similarly, an LLC is probably overkill if you're making under $100k. I'd argue it's a minority of entrepreneurial software consultants who make over $100 but under $150. Finding a good accountant to help you figure it out (and to handle the paperwork) is also likely to help you join the S-Corp cohort.
I'm actually super impressed with the recent progress that the Android OpenStreetMap client has made. In the past six months or so it's gone from virtually useless to being a full Google Maps replacement (at least for my use cases).
I want to defend Rust project here. You should realize that Rust CoC is scoped to official Rust project space.

> They have a member on their core team who has advocated violence in the past. It's just that it's violence against white people so it's "OK".

As far as I know, the member you are referring to never advocated violence in the official Rust project space. That's enough for Rust.
A Plane That Accidentally Circumnavigated the World (2014)
On rent control and gentrification I don't have a strong opinion right now. But I'd argue that if one has the means to buy but chooses not to, I can't feel bad for them if they get pushed out by rising rents. Buying a house is a good way to establish roots in a community. For those who can't afford to buy I feel that the argument that gentrification is harmful has some merit though, of course if the renter has started in a bad neighborhood I wouldn't think it would typically be that expensive to buy.

To use your analogy, if you don't put a ring on it you might lose it [your partner]. At least if one is divorced there is likely some alimony.

I suspect much of the real problem with gentrification involves the legacy of redlining and other abuses of vulnerable populations, like predatory contract loans and subprime mortgages. If populations such as inner-city blacks weren't systematically prevented from purchasing property in past decades gentrification would probably be much less a hot-button issue.
And just to clarfiy - it doesn't collect any data that you don't allow.

It's also really easy to delete any (and all) associated data after an account has been created.
> If any of that stuff is actually working on your site, not having a WAF is the least of your problems.

Is this advice assuming that it's devs who want the WAF, rather than ops or management?

For devs clearly it's not what they should be focusing on. But saying something isn't worth doing because it shouldn't work is a terrible security principle.
> Make sure you are logging centrally, and logging the right things.

Could you please elaborate on what some of the right things generally are?
The benefits of the doc is purely subjective (obviously) so asking what purpose it serves is a dick move.

And it specifically says not to remove. RMS only objected when they tried to introduce a change he specifically said not to remove. Calling this an unwarranted exercise in authority is also a dick move.

It isn't even a code change. Let's talk priorities: glibc could see improvements preventing y2038 bugs and fuzzing, but we fret over a joke.

Also there is no evidence that the joke could be traumatic to anyone.
The "universal" part of "Universal Basic Income" is very hard to cover. Maybe it's time to mint "LBI"/"Localized Basic Income" (sounds more like it's addressing the spatial dimension) or "Limited Basic Income" (perhaps covers the temporal dimension better.)
It's just RMS continuing to be an authoritarian, as he's always been. He's always been unwilling to compromise on big things, he's still unwilling to compromise on small things.
Then of course there's North American dimensional lumber, where the actual dimensions are either 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4 inches less than the nominal dimensions. A 2x4 is 1.5 x 3.5 inches.

Concorde was iterated 3 times, each carrying substantial modifications. From flying prototype to a preproduction version to the production version.
I agree - this is the basis of the issue. Though there's no apparent solution. Using passwords is inherently less secure. What are the other alternatives?
I think people in the crypto currency world understand that pretty well. The problem is that blockchain solutions don’t actually do anything useful yet.

And titanium, lots of which they inadvertently sold to CIA front-companies for use on the A-12 / SR-71.

When NASA started to scrap a warehouseful of 71 spares, that included many tons of Soviet titanium bar stock which the Air Force whisked off to Tinker AFB for future use.
Conway's law of technical interview challenges
The Bill of Rights does not enumerate human rights, it sets limits on what the government can do to those rights. If you read them, you will find "Congress shall make no law ... " and "shall not be infringed" and "shall not be violated" and so on.

It's a list of limits for the government.
> Europeans and Africans are quite genetically close, while East Asians are the most distant.

This is not true per the latest genetic understanding of modern human migration. All non-African populations diverged from each-other more recently than their shared common ancestor did from their ancestral African population. See:

https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/human-journey/

Note the branch leaving Africa that is shared by both Asian and European populations.

> Furthermore, initial data suggests that articulation issues are most prevalent in Africa and Europe, and least prevalent in East Asia. Europeans and Africans are quite genetically close, while East Asians are the most distant. Similarly, choral singing is least prevalent (today and in recent history) in East Asia, which would be consistent if the emergence of articulated speech diminished the utility of choral singing in supporting cooperative behavior.

This seems like a strong claim of causality that requires some citation. I'd be very careful before attributing differences in cultures' musical style to anything like genetics. People sing in groups in unison all over the world. It's just that the most widely known traditional musical styles of East Asia (and the middle east and South Asia also) tend to focus primarily on melody with harmonies being emergent or incidental.

Also, the traditional Asian music we think of today is a very recent development on the timescale of human evolution, so its differences shouldn't really be attributed to anything more than cultural development.
These actually seem like great ideas. I think in a world with far greater need of private censorship than ever before, structure and transparency standards are a great idea. I came into this with a chip on my should ready to dislike it, read the 2 page pdf and it changed my mind.

The appeal process is the most likely part to cause have problems with implementation, I suspect (possibly followed by attribution of the source of the take down request in some jurisdictions).
