Zombie Outbreak in Ukraine
The miraculous 'resurrection' of Arkady Babchenko raised many questions related to the activities of Ukrainian special services. Even various conspiracy theories began to appear.

Some people recalled the murder of former Russian deputy D. Voronenkov in 2017 as certain circumstances suggested that it had been staged. So anyway, that seems to be true. However, see for yourself.

This is what Igor, a fellow student of Denis Voronenkov at the Military University, who quitted the military service and became a businessman in the mid-90s, told anonymously, without disclosing his surname. Although their lives took different paths, sometimes they met at the events organized by the University graduates.

When Voronenkov entered politics, he stopped seeing his University mates. They only exchanged calls occasionally until the tragic news of Voronenkov's death that arrived in March 2017 from Kiev.

But a year later, in April, 2018, in Lviv, Igor accidentally ran across ... Denis Voronenkov. At first, Denis lost courage, but then he kind of rejoiced at seeing his old friend. However he immediately told Igor that he had a different name and surname now. He had a facelift and grew a moustache. Igor was short of time as he was in a hurry to come for a business lunch with his partners. He tried to give Voronenkov his mobile phone number, but Denis refused to take it, saying that he would not call him anyway.

'And do not even try to tell anybody about meeting me. As a minimum, you make yourself just ludicrous, or more than likely they call you crazy', with a giggle said ex-Denis to him in the end. 'Besides, it is not safe for you...'
Firstly you you are still assuming the same gross exaggeration of novelty, and secondly, you can do analysis and planning at a much higher level of abstraction than development.

Waterfall gave the impression that planning and analysis is costly by insisting it should be carried down to the lowest levels of abstraction, before doing anything else.
Eh, are you perhaps hinting at that horrible lawsuit where Oracle sued Google(?) for a lot of money for copying about 9(?) lines of code that was basically a looping routine?

That notwithstanding, I was asking about code that could be considered “boilerplate”, not things that could be considered proprietary business logic. So the code to do a login, or check for cookies, or get something from a db, or anything of that sort should be broadly reusable (for a general CRUD app).
Give him a break, megacorps are making billions on top of his software, and he's not.

Hence the question of what happened to the idea, the need, to belong to groups.

Why is a network, where everyone is present, everyone's profile looks the same, everyone is just a gear in the machine, is appealing?

Had we gotten this lazy, that we'll only go for the most comfortable, despite the lack of any option self-expression, the nonexistent privacy, and the complete lack of respect towards users?

It's very much possible that I'm wrong, and that generic audience doesn't need or doesn't want any customization, that the convenience overrides everything, but in this case, anything "revealing" Facebook is completely futile, isn't it?
Elizabeth Holmes seems to have learned a thing or two from this study. In the book, Bad Blood, it is claimed that her baritone was fake.
Just wondering if it's time to start to decouple the client and the server. I did that with mail and use a native client only, and hosting a git repo on DO or similar should not be too big of an issue either.
git-daemon i assume. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-daemon
I'd like to counter this with the opposite advice. Don't read up and create expectations of anything. Like people meditating and wondering when their 'chakras' will activate.

Know just 2 things:

- setting is crucial, pick a place where you are comfortable and won't be disturbed, and people there are very close

- mindset, be in a good mood! if you are stressed or recently lost someone, hold off.

If you get scared of something, move towards it. Don't run, as soon as you accept it, it will vanish.

I don't mean to bash OP but I absolutely disagree that you need to feel this sense of urgency, or importance to capture it all. Just enjoy yourself.
One thing to note if someone consider switching from GitHub to Phabricator: Phabricator use a pre-commit reviews based on patches rather than being branch-based like in GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket. Make sure to read the Phabricator Review Workflow[1] before making the switch, because everyone in your team have to change their workflow if they already used to Pull Request/Merge Request workflow. :-)

That said, I always found Phabricator's issue tracker (Maniphest) to be superior to GitHub Issues, with ability to create task dependencies (parent/child) and ability to limit tasks permissions only to few selected groups (with spaces). It's possible to setup Phabricator to mirror other repositories if you want to use only its issue tracker.

It was a throwaway joke comment - Turnbull is much smarter than that.

Worth noting that Malcolm Turnbull made part of his money from investing in the internet sector in the early 90s. He invested $500,000 in OzEMail (one of Australia's first internet service providers) back in 1994, and sold his stake for $57 Million to Worldcom in 1999. He's not an engineer, but he's not entirely ignorant on these matters.
I am a little conflicted on this.

This a complex topic so I won’t fully develop the point but I can see a rational basis for CEOs to not treat their companies as a “shared” resource and I would argue that when an investment is made in a company there is an implicit understanding that you are being invited to participate in the economic opportunity but not so much in the control.

To work off your analogy, it is akin to “going along for the ride” as opposed to sharing the car. Yes, you own 20% of the car but you agreed that someone else would do the driving and chart the course. If you don’t like the way they are driving, get out and hop into another car. I think it is a bit much to be a minority investor and expect the entire operation to retool when that is a significantly more expensive proposition for the company than it is for you to simply exit the position and buy someone else’s stock.

Again, I am not totally confident in this view...
lol microsoft just announced it's going to buy GH and GH is already down :p
A more apt comparison would be the Guantanomo Bay military base.

You can't compare upstate New York with military objects in third-world nuclear-armed countries.
There are computer aided processes that can manufacture items such as that - things that can be made an a lathe. Such machines are very expensive at this point, however, such as the equipment made by Herbert Arnold of Germany which runs well over 100k. I would love to see some lightweight, less specialized automation in this niche, as what currently exists are heavy duty CNC class machines. They are impractically expensive and overqualified for projects like 20g tubes of glass with one end closed and a ridge.

Whilst creepy, I love the idea of a proof of work system like this, something that anyone can participate in. I just don't see how it could be achieved in a way that couldn't be gamed.
This is what I was always looking for. Also loving the approach of having the UI separated.

I also don't like the yaml format for the simple reason that not all necessary information is in one line. No idea why a transaction can't be written into one line.

Also for people who love plain text, one can checkout the banking format (comes from German banks, so most info is only available in German but here's a summary): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FinTS

Gnucash should also support it, but with my bank it always fails. It's certainly not a format I would use for local storage, but it's a good source of structure and edge cases when one thinks about developing or modifying an existing format.
I'd recommend simply designating one as master, one as slave. Why try to appoint two captains of one ship?
No charity expected, being very founder friendly is sufficient. I must have missed this bit - “Series A program is free”.

In any case, what I wanted to say is an independent Series A program (that allows direct entry in addition to Seed Program graduates), parallel (and similar) to the seed program, sounds like a good idea. Maybe that’s what this experiment might morph into eventually.
VISORSURF: A Hardware Platform for Software-Driven Functional Metasurfaces
It is worth mentioning that Sourcegraph itself isn't Free / Open Source software... which makes the license of the plugin irrelevant (and in fact Phabricator's license likely forced your hand), so it's just a little bit fishy that the only license you mentioned is that of the plugin.

> The problem with Linus is that he just smears it around aimlessly

I take it you don't really read a lot of Linus' mail? I find it hard to believe that somebody would think that, unless they only got to see a highly biased selection of his emails.

Also, consider that we would never have had this thread in which several people are learning about gcc's documented behavior on unions if it hadn't been for the somewhat strong language. It serves a genuine purpose.

Probably an interesting read for you: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e4Vz3wZB_8-ZcAwIFde8X5Cj...
> Not every deployment is $1000s/month. I dont care about EKS, but it will hurt adoption if every single cluster requires a $144/month fee for the master when there are offerings from GCP and Azure that are free and far more polished.

Maybe that's the reasoning behind it. If the service isn't really up to standard yet, it definitely makes sense. Smaller players, when they see an unfinished product, will not come back.

Keep the small clients away until the service is more polished by price barring, use the bigger clients who can afford the support, iterate and improve.

Time will tell.
What's new in Swift 4.2
Yes, but the amount of "China copies everyone else" that usually goes around deserves a rebalance. As someone actually active in the food space in Asia, my opinion is pretty informed on such matters. Anyway, business as usual SV pro-American echo chamber here. Sigh.

Heat is not really useful energy the way your taking about.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics

Life wants entropy like sunlight or glucose becase it can do something with it. Heat can speed up chemical reactions which makes a minimal amount useful indirectly but not as an energy source.

PS: Heat gradients are a form of entropy and for example create thermals which are then useful.
so called Thanos argument
This mirrors my experience in the MENA region (where a lot of staff are from asian cultures). It's hard to encourage people to work independently when they're coming from a "do what you're told" culture.
Visial Studio
It could be argued that this is smart. Imagine you merge something that, as a simple example, renders pull inaccessible. Your authoritative source for the fix would then be itself inaccessible. People running that code would be in the dark as to what is wrong, or may struggle to report problems (if issues become inaccessible). Manual steps would be involved because their CI/CD might also break.

You'd expect them to never run the latest code in prod to avoid exactly this, but a cherry-picked vulnerability fix is one example of how this could realistically happen.

GitHub is partially unrespoinsive
Hi Walter.

Also.

I'm assuming it has to do with distribution and reliability within regions, hence why you even need datacenters at different locations and not just one location.
Too much from the latimes today. Which is a shame as they are particularly crappy at GDPR. I know it's hard for US-ians to care, but if a large proportion of the articles are inaccessible it will damage hacker news. Better not to put these stories that want to stay local on the front page.
SF can also manage docker containers. They are doing lots of work with k8s, but this system has a huge amount of internal usage and has provably been used to build global scale services. Its strengths are different than k8s and the distributed system space has lots of options.

You (and others) seem to be enjoying some schadenfruede about SF not "winning" some competition. I don't think the world works that way. Lots of people will use it for big applications. More people will probably use something else. That's about it.

The type of comment you made doesn't get marked by the moderators for some reason even though it doesn't actually provide any insight. The article had detailed information about the internals of how it worked. That's the interesting thing here. The Ziff Davis style dev-adoption-horse race is pretty pointless.
And then the repo author censored everything explaining why he was probably removed.
Is there a decent alternative to Shopify that is self-hosted?

That $400 a year from Shopify is not a trivial expense for a hobby store.

I have friends with small brick and mortar stores and have a hard time suggesting an off-the-shelf ecommerce solution.

Shopify would be a bad choice for my friend's carpet store where very few customers will actually order the carpet online but where customizable website functionality(mix and match carpets, reserve but not pay for carpets, etc) is of paramount importance.

Sure you can customize Shopify, but if you are going down that rabbit hole then might as well own your backend as well.
5 Key Components of an Effective Lead Capture Form
FB can tell you about it but there is no law mandating anti-hijack security features. Nevermind that the spyware can be inserted in the client itself or in the official gateway supplied by Huawei, necessary "for technical reasons", making it completely invisible.

Once the manufacturer goes outside the licensed API and uses your credentials to do more than Facebook allows, it commits an actual crime against you in most jurisdictions.

Rating every single ride on a transportation service is nuts. It's a burden on the client to have the feeling that he needs to rate and it's a stress on the driver.

If there's something wrong with the ride, like tardiness, inefficiency, bad vehicle or filth you should be able to report that explicitly. That way the driver can learn and improve. When the complaints exceed a threshold, there's a consequence.

The popularity contest with the stars is meaningless and stressful.

Europe to cap intra-EU call fees as part of overhaul to telecoms rules
Before anyone jumps into Berkelyian idealism like a conspiracy theorist into youtube, note that this whole line of thinking is fundamentally based on a genetic fallacy embed in an antiquated notion of causation.

Historically it was thought that the cause of something (the origin) must share properties with the event caused (the product). This is just a false assertion. Today we understand "emergence" in which properties arise in aggregate products that are not present in their constituent origins.

Without that every argument of the form "experience is a closed system" fails: the causal origin of experience does not "need" to be experience.

Light strikes a surface, it collides with your eye, your nervous system enters a state known as "visual perception" and that has properties not present in any prior step (ie., it feels like something). These properties emerge out of the whole interaction of the system, and are not present within any mere piece of it.

Idealism is very much an epistemological virus, a metaphysical conspiracy theory, that will quickly run a wildefire through your whole belief system with its plausible soundbites. "From experience, only experience, surely?!" No.

Berekely's Master Argument is the beginning of a line of "argument by amazement at how cool it all sounds" that ends up in Heidegger. Justified by the constant refrain that the experience is an epistemically closed system, a genetic fallacy whose plausibility is only ever achieved through rhetorically pleasing soundbites.

I believe the GP is talking about the trend of adverts for the exact product you just viewed/bought on the exact store following you around the Internet for a few days.

e.g. you bought a blue striped t-shirt from H&M and it is continually advertised to you by H&M for a few days.
Ego dissolution is an extremely common occurrence among mushroom users, and leads a lot of people to meditation, and eastern philosophy.

Also to brush off the 'imaginative part of the mind', i.e. your subconscious so readily is absurd. It drives us far more than our intellect would care to admit, and having a chance to interact with it so directly is very 'real', and not a delusion.

This is not true. If nothing else a lot of the work done by a game engine pipeline is actually handled by the OS or device driver (GPU, audio, and network) and scheduled in a different thread. So even a “single threaded” game would benefit from 2-4 cores.
For a solo dev, running a remote is a great idea and way cheaper than paying for GH private repos. You're giving up some availability and disaster recovery, but as a solo dev those aren't big problems (spin up a new host, configure your SSH keys, push). I did this years ago!

When the remote is shared (with other devs or tools), then you have the hassle of provisioning accounts, updating keys when they get lost, implementing ACLs, setting them, recording who changes what refs for audit trails, availability/backups becomes an actual problem, managing disk space + garbage collection, etc. The time you spend on those interruptsion is time (and concentration) that you're not spending on what you want to do. That's where the value proposition of GitHub comes in…

GitHub then has the value-adds/lock-in of easy webhook integrations, gh-pages branch, issues, wiki, and the web UI.

If all you want is somewhere to push code that's always available & private to you, then I'd look into using some could-based object store to host your repo. If you want to share the repo with other devs/tools… let me know where to find 99 other people willing to spend $5/month on this kind of thing.

No, my response was that they _probably_ don't, if they'd evaluate that viewpoint further. Especially as a software dev/engineer, it's all too easy to think that you need absolute control.
