> I think people disliked your use of the word "religious", as it's sort of a discussion-stopper.

That's kind of the point. There's no use arguing about it since it's a matter of personal preference — i.e., religion.

Open source software does not try to appeal to users by using the principles of the FSF. I don't think this illustrates a problem with the metaphor. They're both fine editors and reflect the preferences of their developers. Ditto different software licenses.

I don't really 'get' emojis but I think you're woefully underestimating their impact on communication and language. The emoji library on a normal iPhone is enormous.

And those games are horrible. Almost all of them are built around exploiting weaknesses in the human psyche to convince people to spend money and become addicted. The biggest difference between those games and gambling is that you don't carry a slot machine in your pocket. For the most part the only exceptions to that are the games that were ported from desktop.
It's a known problem in ML community. Unfortunately saying "hey we do pattern matching in our product" dosen't sound so good to investors as "We are building thinking machines using artificial intelligence".

Those enterprise customers are probably already using Visual Studio Online, which already gives you the best of both worlds - Git for source control, superb backlog and CI/CD features, and ADFS authentication.

IMO, for private repos, VSO is far superior to GitHub.
Yes, Microsoft will use their new power to block Go development by deleting their repo, or grind the thousands of Facebook employees to a halt by blocking the React repository.
Maybe replace the go repo to a redirect to .NET Core.

Check out the issue list on gitlab-ce and see if anyone has requested it come to CE. They may have other reasons or they may bring it over if enough people ask. I've seen threads on HN where they've agreed to bring something over from EE because someone was asking about it so they definitely are happy to do that where it makes sense.

No. In fact, copyleft licenses are completely dependent on copyright. Copyleft advocates sometimes claim that copyleft "uses copyright against itself", but this isn't really true. Copyleft uses copyright, but not against copyright. If there was no copyright (all else equal), creative works would be in the public domain, truly free for anyone to use (more or less like the MIT and BSD licensed works today).
The Storage Access API that they mention in the blog post is proposed to WHATWG, but not accepted as a standard yet: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3338
Obsidian didn't manage to materialize a Khronos working group, so it's not moving forward. Apple instead went with the W3C to form the GPUWeb group, based on their work on WebGPU. The Obsidian folks at Mozilla have decided to follow this path instead, see here:

https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGLNext-Proposals/pull/11#...

However, there's no real writeup of what the API will end up remotely looking like right now, so it's too early to speculate. WebGPU's original prototype used Metal's shading language for instance (since the prototype came from WebKit), but any real standard probably will probably change things up.

I believe the webgpu-servo folks have, in the mean time, begun working on lower level components/libraries to target Vulkan/DX12/Metal, for use by systems like WebGPU. Sort of like ANGLE by the Chrome team, but for newer GFX APIs.

TL;DR absolutely nothing is fleshed out at all yet and it seems plenty will probably change
This sounds proportionate if a state might go after the code. For example phone encryption might be a big prize for the Chinese or even American government.

Microsoft actually hand over OS code to states regularly for certain contracts so I figure they don't need to protect most of thier code like that.
> What nobody is really commenting on is how huge of an opportunity this is for Microsoft to reinvent itself in the eyes of the developer community.

My opinion of Microsoft isn't based on whether or not it owns Github.

My opinion is based on other aspects of their behavior, such as:

- Do they force mainstream Windows users to provide telemetry data to Microsoft?

- Do they threaten Android developers with lawsuits regarding violation of unspecified patents?

- Do they use OS upgrades as an opportunity to reset opt-out telemetry gathering.

- Have they recently used dark UI patterns to trick users into installing Windows 10?

- Do they make telemetry collection opt-out (and non-obvious) for the .net CLI tools?

Any meaningful reinvention of Microsoft would involve (1) stopping those kinds of behaviors, and (2) making a compelling, public argument for why we should never expect those behaviors again from Microsoft.
Animals are the first step because testing in humans is more expensive. These devices will likely have to be tested in humans before commercialization.
This was the company that would (allegedly) start acquisition talks and then after they learned what they needed during due diligence they would back out of the deal and create a competing product. (Unfortunately, I don't know the words to search for any articles.) So, while I, personally don't think they would, I also wouldn't take the risk. FB employees looked at people's private details; if you can, someone will do it at some time.
This is a good checklist, but I have observed that corporations with a "history" have value on their own. It is perhaps less well known than other parts of the equation, but when I created my first LLC it was a pain because as a "new" entity it had no credit history, no existence history, and every time it raised a bunch of flags with every new vendor. Once it had been around for a few years it was fine. When it came time to dissolve it I had a choice of just dissolving it, or selling it to a agent (typically a lawyer) after detaching myself from it. In the latter case that is the standard public notice of sale and disclaimer of association past the sale date between me and the company.

When starting an LLC it can be advantageous to start with one that is 'on the shelf' as it were because it avoids the this is all new company unpleasantness. Most agents have a number of ambiguously named LLCs available for people who want to assign a holding company for trusts etc.

Given that California charges you $850/year just to exist as an LLC it isn't profitable to create and hold such companies just to sell, but when it is time to sell there is some value there sometimes.
How far back did Unity/Unreal transparently handle Metal support? I suspect some developers won't have the resources to update games running on older versions of those engines.

Games made by developers who've gone out of business are probably just going to stop working in a few versions of MacOS.
Gitlab already support this, no need to go with home grown bit banging.

I too wish they provided an ephemeral localStorage in private browsing.

But in any case, your application should be interacting with localStorage through an in-memory facade, otherwise it's still going to break with lots of other edge-cases. All operations should be treated as volatile, and probably silently suppressed on failures.

Using a facade also makes testing easier, and if you avoid global side-effects it becomes easier to parallelize test-cases.
only if you just claim to live there for tax benefits, but don't actually reside in the state.
Depending too much on Github and Azure (because you rely on their integration), instead of depending too much on either Github or Azure, is a clear risk increase that most users should avoid, not something "awesome". The only amazing opportunities are for vendor lock-in.

Yeah, I'm not putting any weight behind this... ask him something more concrete like how to reduce the chip count on your disk drive controller.
I've noticed that ntile(n) can give unexpected results when there are fewer input rows than n, so cume_dist might be a safer choice (or percentile_disc or percentile_cont). I wrote some more details here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27883999/how-to-calculat...

This behavior means that ntile(100) is not the same thing as percentile.

But I've always wondered if I was just misunderstanding something. I wonder what others think?
>I sure hate it when Microsoft does it, but at least they have market share. Who wants to support Metal just to target the Mac?

Plenty of big 3D/CAD/etc players? In lots of creative areas, the Mac dominates still (despite stories about people moving to Windows nobody's going anywhere, where nobody = quite few creatives overall).

Besides, with Metal they'll target iOS as well, and that's a huge platform, and where most of the profits are for mobile.

>This is the wrong place to ask but what the heck, anyone care to share their experience quitting HN?

HN is the vaping to the cigarette smoking that is burning time on Reddit, for me anyway. "It's still got a lot of smart people posting thought-provoking content, and content relevant to my career, it's ok to spend time here", I console myself with.

Unfortunately I'm doing the equivalent of taking a drag from a cigarette followed by a puff of a vape now, having had a severe relapse on Reddit usage, despite internally despising the site and most of everything on it.

> This is for the better, given the number of collisions occurring with Autopilot engaged or recently engaged.

I think this is very misguided. Tesla owners aren't suicidal or some big idiot collective. They understand Autopilot's practical intricacies (from experience) better than any other group. They continue to use it because they know it massively reduces driving fatigue.

> It's too bad the Adaptive Cruise and Autonomous Braking can't be enabled without the Lane Assist.

ACC and emergency braking work just fine without Lane Assist! One pull on the stalk for ACC; two for Autopilot.
this seems like a fallacious appeal of one variety or another.
Most of the advocacy I've seen specifically points out that the majority of homeless are not the people you see on the street. Meanwhile, just about 100% of the outrage I see on FB and Nextdoor is directed at the people you see living on the street.
It will take a couple more releases for it to stop working.

It's still badly broken in the looks department if you ask me.
It was never far behind; it was simply off an overpass.
Did you mean Metal instead of Vulkan? :P
These are not revolutionary or even helpful ideas, but they can be convenient or fun. For example:

Some medical applications (just for example, you would need quite a robust model):

* Categorize moles on your skin as cancerous or not.

* Categorize cuts on your skin as infected or not.

* Have the user input certain characteristics (images, temperature data, etc) and give some preliminary diagnosis.

Less interesting/helpful:

* Detect photos of certain foods in your app (e.g. Twitter, Instagram, Yelp) and recommend relevant emoji or hashtags.

* For a note-taking or to-do app, classify notes into categories automatically for the user.

* Suggest actions in your app based on what the user types or does.

* Recommend solutions or help articles from the feedback form in your app. Tag the feedback with a certain sentiment to determine how quickly you should follow up on it.

* Detect your products in images/videos and tag them to make them searchable, and recommend relevant things to the user (e.g. in a beer tracking app [2], detect a certain kind of beer, suggest similar types).

If any of this sounds like it's been done before, it probably has, but it's important to note this is done entirely on device (private!) and with custom labels. The current alternative is to use TensorFlow Lite [1], which is a bit more involved. I'm sure as the field develops we will see more creative (and useful/helpful) applications.

I wouldn't even know how to express it in words.

This may or may not be an example of it -- for all I know it's a commonly used one with a well-established metaphoric meaning --, but I think emoji usage is strangely idiosyncratic.
Yes. Groundbreaking new animoji technology is far more important.
It does no: (2), but thrice in a row. You can setup so only if someone calls you thrice within 3 mins, it will ring

Systems from Volvo, BMW and Mercedes are pretty close. Cadillac's system is arguably better than autopilot on the freeway, but it only supports freeways. So, I'm not sure if "remotely" is the right word... there are a few that are pretty close.
No, not really. If you're unwilling to use a Microsoft code hosting platform, and are unwilling to screw around with hosting your own ticket system, wiki, and DVCS all at the same time, but need all three of those things and would be willing to host a CGI script, you get ticket system, wiki, and DVCS "for free" with Fossil by basically just dropping a single binary into cgi-bin.

Self-hosting Git with ticketing system, wiki, and web front-end can be a giant pain, depending on what you need and how you do it. Fossil is stupidly easy, by contrast. Sure, there are some tools out there to make self-hosting Git with all the trimmings easier, but so far I haven't dealt with one that is actually as easy to host as Fossil.

Basic shared hosting with the ability to store repository files and run CGI is enough to self-host Fossil with all the trimmings. Thus, this isn't about replacing Git, per se. It's about replacing GitHub, for at least some people's use cases.
> Nobody has ever marketed a fund or asset class with the tag line “we’ll likely tread water net, which is actually pretty impressive after we take out our massive fees.” But it’s not nearly the disaster that’s so often claimed.

I think you confused casual gaming with Zynga or something. I was referring to smaller, non-AAA megatitles. Could be anything from a platform game, to Angry Birds, Monument Valley, Threes, Letterpress, racing games, RPGs and so on...
There's a difference between thinking people should not be allowed to do whatever they want just because they're homeless and thinking that they are underserving of compassion and help. FWIW, I said nothing about the latter.

Proponents of Free Software, on the whole, would caution against the term "intellectual property".

Are you referring to:

-copyright?

-patents?

-trademarks?

-something else?

Because, in general:

-copyright is obnoxious, but usable. The GPL depends on it.

-software patents are terrible, no excuses.

-trademarks are generally good and productive.

There is no one concept of "intellectual property," and most people using it are confused or being deceptive.
Window functions are actually part of the SQL 2003 standard.

Here is the best way that I've found to think about them. Sometimes you run across a SQL problem that makes you think, "This would be easy if I just sorted my table, and ran a program over it breaking it into partitions then processing each partition in order." Whenever you do that, window functions will solve that problem.

Note that in practice I've found that queries using window functions often are best done by something of a form: SELECT ... FROM (SELECT ...) foo WHERE ... GROUP BY ... where the window functions are all in the inner query, and the outer query's group by collapses each partition into a single row.

The 2018 Stack Overflow Developer Survey [1] puts VSCode at almost double the number of developers compared to Atom (34.9% vs 18%). You're right about the package count: atom.io lists 7654 packages, compared to 6802 at marketplace.visualstudio.com, many of those being color themes (some seem generated and machine-published, too). That said, workflow for extension authoring in VSCode is amazing, the community is very much alive, and sometimes it almost feels like there's an "extension for everything". Quality may vary, naturally.

Most of the people I've talked to seemed to think that ads were how money was made from services like that. Promoted content that's constantly in their face trying to blend into normal content.

In fact, so much so that it's been hard to get people to realize that the recent issues haven't been related to ads at all. Facebook itself stills seems to be trying to blur the lines between data collection and advertisement.

To me there's nothing wrong with ads. Even content-targeted ads (if I'm reading about gardening then show me an ad for potting soil or gloves). But the push towards creating profiles that follow you around to target ads to you on multiple platforms based on your previous behavior is just creepy and dangerous (when political ads and control over the data comes into play).

GNU has listed "Four Essential Freedoms" https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html to meet the definition of "free software". Does the gitlab-ee license meet these? I think for the most part it does, although I'm not sure this ever had a "subscription model" in mind when it was written. You can run the software, you can modify the software, you can distribute your changes... You could theoretically sell your modifications so long as third parties had a subscription with gitlab, although you'd have the weirdest business model ever.
Thanks! That might be the most valuable thing posted on this thread. Still, some research would be a lot better than journalists' observations.

Apple's large chunk of revenue comes from hardware sales with huge margins. Around 10% would come from app store last time I checked. Google's large chunk of revenue comes from ads, also around the 90% mark.

Things like this convince me that we will never get to AGI. I have a, perhaps untestable hypothesis, that an AGI could only be built by an AGI, or that if we create it, we won't entirely know how we created it in the first place. (Much as we don't completely understand how to create life force, even though we do create it, through the process of reproduction). We may be able to build components of it (like growing organs in a lab) but I am quite skeptical we will be able to create "life" or in this case "intelligence".
