I think that’s possible.

But if it wasn’t consumer testing, then I don’t think it would have been news, and the fallout wouldn’t have been as big.

So, we possibly agree. The fact that they started doing consumer testing with a device that didn’t work made this news.

However, similar kinds of lies/misinformation gets told to investors in biotech startups all the time. That they actually did consumer testing is what made this news.
I hated watches - had a wrist ornament years ago and stopped wearing it because it interfered with my active life.

Apple's strategy is a blue-ocean one - they brought Apple users and active-lifestyle folks into a relative staid luxury goods market and (aside from an initial stumble with series-0 edition) co-opted the market and transformed it.

It wasn't exactly as powerful as the move to smartphones, and tech was moving there already but it's really great that my Apple watch is part of my work (2nd factor), lifestyle (Strava), and family (timer+music controls).

There's room for improvement but it gets the useful parts right.
I've been working with IPv6 off and on since 2004. It's great to see progress, but I'm ready for a bigger momentum shift in the US. Even with the major ISPs onboard and support appearing in the cloud, it's hard to imagine widespread adoption when consumer and SOHO network device makers are doing so little to bring the necessary tools to end-users.

Part of my business is focused on providing privacy and security consulting to small businesses and self-employed professionals. I've spent a good chunk of time researching suitable network devices for this audience, and it seems that IPv6 isn't even on the minds of many device makers (can't resist calling out Cisco, who has been nearly silent on their plans for IPv6 in their Meraki line).

As a side note, I am a bit concerned about the day that these same device makers start to enable support. Given the role of NAT as the gatekeeper of so many small network devices, I expect we'll see more than a couple stories about inadequate firewall rules exposing home networks via IPv6.
.net core F# support has been pretty great from the initial stages of .net core from my basic usage. Biggest challenge seemed to be around type providers (F# system of generating strongly typed classes from dynamic data such as XML, CSVs, HTTP etc) but that's largely resolved. More info at https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.TypeProviders.SDK

Great resources for getting started with F# at https://fsharp.org/

My personal preference is generally to install the SDK and use the http://ionide.io/ with VScode as it seems to work most reliably cross platform.
> Well, look up what companies like IBM, Google, Amazon,

Does any of these companies run a team with 5,000 people contributing to the same codebase?

Do you have it on good authority that most of the people in IBM, Google, and Amazon that manage those 5,000 people teams are nice and polite? Because I've heard a lot about Amazon to the contrary. Do consider your selection bias: You know everything Linus tells the world, you only hear about Ballmer's chair throwing, but not any other profanities,

> Would delivering the message calmly not be understood?

Yes, he tries/tried occasionally. The wikipedia entry for LKML has more info.

> He can accomplish the same things, without going ballistic, in shorter time and with the respect of others earned

That goes counter to Linus' experience, and a few other people's.

> It's still using the same few management tools and he can retain his bad temper for when a situation actually calls for it (which is almost never). Blowing everything out of proportion is crying wolf.

Are you on the LKML? He almost never does it. You hear about it when he does. He is not shy with criticism, and he never sugarcoats anything, sure, but he goes ballistic very rarely.

> But he sure seems to hide it well since that's all I ever hear about him. But I guess bad publicity is still publicity.

You admit that you have no idea what happens between the times you hear of him. You implicitly say your model is "IBM, Amazon and Google", in which you hear nothing of how disagreements are handled, and none of which have the scale and diversity of the LKML in a single team.

It is my impression that your beliefs are not grounded in data or even anecdata. It does not make them wrong, and I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm saying you have not made any convincing argument to say you are right.
GitHub is where developers go to find the software they use on a daily basis, and find the libraries they use to build even more software, which they usually put right back on GitHub.

I use the public GitHub many times a month. More importantly, every single job I've had for nearly the past decade has stored its code in GitHub. Not publicly accessible, and rarely at a private github.com account; every place I work uses a privately hosted GitHub Enterprise server. I wouldn't even consider using anything else, even though GitLab (and to a lesser extent, BitBucket) offer exactly the same functionality.

GitHub was groundbreaking when it arrived. Some people are having an emotional reaction and defecting to GitLab this month (for reasons that escape me), but GitHub has all the inertia. More importantly, GitHub has a vast community. It's just where code lives now.

I'm curious as to what sort of development you do or where you work that you're not a regular GitHub user. It's inescapable in every software company I've worked at since its inception, and as a consultant, that's a huge number of companies in nearly every industry. The only place I've worked in the past decade that didn't use GitHub was an all-Windows shop that used some horrible old proprietary revision control system whose name escapes me. Do you use git but not use GitHub (public or private or enterprise)?
Uh, so wait. If the IRS/Interpol becomes an effective source of truth on which coins may be legally transferred and who rightfully owns them, what was the point of the blockchain?
It Takes 41,500 Hours of Labor to Build a Single F-35A According to New Report
I agree. From what I read about OnLive's failure, they had major problems with founder Steve Perlman, which spiraled into lack of direction, a pivot, and a crash. The tech worked pretty well when I tried it.
The sad part is that in many developing countries 100mbps is now quite common. Meanwhile, even in LA it’s not very consistent when you have this speed advertised on your contract.

Only place where I reliably saw 100mbps down was in SFO on tmobile LTE by one very specific window. Go figure...

EDIT: consumer grade connections - if you have a business, gigabit is easy to get in the office.
There’s a court for exactly this purpose, which has one judge from each member state:

Mythbusters: 7 common myths about AI
Ultimately you can write Rails migrations in SQL. That's a fact.

There are two problems with that.

One is that I discovered with surprise that some developers, not only in Rails projects, don't know SQL.

The other is that you still have to synchronize those migrations with changes to the models of the framework (example: add belongs_to, has_many, etc.) even if ActiveRecord autodiscovers the fields of the tables.

The latter is true even if you write the migrations in Ruby and is true also for any pair of framework / language I know. Think about a project with microservices in many different languages and it can easily become unmanageable. "We added a foreign key from here to there, everybody update their representation of the schema." Multiply for a few times per day.
Say you want to visit Denver. But you're not from Denver and know nothing about hidden treasures in and around the city.
I'd make a list for you
1. See this spot in the city
2. Drive to this waterfall in the Rockies
3. Stay at this place with amazing view
4. Do these trails in the rockies
5. Check out this lake
6. Drive back to Denver
7. Catch this flight

This would be one option
I could populate other options.
You could create these options for yourself and others.
Ability to crowdsource itineraries.

No need to sell your data or show ads.
I could make money by taking a dollar here or there when booking your flights or hotel.
What are the best blogs or websites for Indian stock market analysis?
> how important it is that we come up with a framework to penalize misleading journalism

That would require the existence of a group of people empowered decide what is the truth and what is not. Such groups have a really, really bad history. No thanks.

(The history of it is so bad that protection from such groups is enshrined in the Bill of Rights.)
The problem is as soon as you're speaking of "frequency" you're already on a time-scale where the power doesn't interfere with other frequencies (as long as the medium is linear, etc -- which is almost certainly true here). In the mathematical/technical sense (in linear system theory)it's quite clear that different frequencies would interfere, it's a basic entire principle of linear circuit design that's been used for centuries -- systems have a Frequency Response where each frequency is independent as a result of the eigenfunction property. Personally I just think it's a big oversight, maybe they were trying to give a laymen explanation and confused themselves. What they're doing must be some form of phase modulation, maybe they're interpreting as short bursts of frequency modulation (with a stable steady-state frequency), but as I said this is not an illuminating view imo.

Edit: Actually I think they might have frequency control indeed. That would be a good idea to find a peak in frequency response (i.e. "resonant power transfer"), not for any directivity gains through constructive interference. That might be the source of confusion.
Perhaps they would do well to realize that if someone uses a "joke licence" they are implicitly stating that the code in question, according to their personal standards, probably isn't suitable for production environments. In some offices however, this same code might be viewed as worth trying to build a blockchain currency system with. Coughcough*

Programmers write things all the time that they wouldn't inflict on anyone else. They're written to get a one-time thing done and no more than that, however, they do sometimes realize that someone else might be facing that very same one-time problem, so there's no harm in at least letting other people play with said abomination.
Of course Docker is just the popular brand name for those isolation features and 'image' 'container' and all related terminology exist independently without Docker
> Journalists might not know better.

I don't understand why this would excuse anything. Journalism is almost literally their about to (get to) know better about things and explaining to the rest of us.

At least, that's what it should be -- these days it seems to be mostly about generating clickbait. (Sorry if that's cynical -- I've just read Trust Me, I'm Lying.)

> Ultimately, shouldn't everyone be applying critical thinking and the scientific method to come to their own conclusions about the world?

Of course, but there's limited time to investigate everything in ultimate skeptical detail, and so we rely on others we trust.
If running your own infrastructure is a strongly desired option, people will do the work to make it easier to host your own k8s cluster. I agree it's not there yet (I'm the primary person for our team running several self-hosted on-prem k8s clusters) but I can see work is already happening to make it easier.
> YMMV, but it's 3 AM here in Berlin and until 10 minutes ago I was still actively working.

Sounds like an unhealthy implementation. I've worked 12 hours apart from a main office for 3 years and never worked past my local business hours.
Pebble was nice - had one but its uncanny how similar the Palm Treo analogy goes - I loved my Treo till I got my iPhone. I loved my Pebble till I got my Apple watch.

Stuff the old ones do better (even today) but the Apple replacements are all that + constant years of OS upgrades and a stronger app ecosystem.
Would be interesting but I don't think SO needs the funding / resources as badly as GitHub does.

The term descriptivist means the opposite of what you believe it to mean.
The idea that open source involves “handing over ip on a platter” is what’s stupid here. The vast majority of open source code is developed on the job. The fact that it’s open source means that the developer can take it with them when they leave and possibly even get some name recognition from it. If it was closed source, the developer would be handing it over on a platter to their employer, never to be seen again.

I mean lying to investors is certainly illegal. But usually the investors can’t do anything about it, or perhaps more accurately don’t want to after the fact.

It’s not like suing the company gives them a desirable outcome. In fact it probably makes them look slightly more risky to companies looking for investment. Usually they just write off the investment and move on. Just like Rupert Murdoch did (sold it back to Theranos for 1USD).

Either that or they look for someone else to pump more money in or cash them out. I feel like that was the subtext of a lot of the conversations with board members/investors in the book. There was nothing they could do, except make the play look as good as possible and hope more money gets poured in and it either works eventually, or they get to cash out... so.. why acknowledge any of the issues?
"but when the investors were lied to (as is being alleged in court) it seems difficult to say this is a symptom of some sort of cultural problem among investors."

i think it's much, much worse that customers, who relied on test results for important medical decisions were lied to.

Financial fraud is one thing, but potentially killing people for greed and profit should really land the folks, which are resonsible for such scandalous behavior in the slammer for an extended stay.
Stack Overflow was founded by Joel Spolsky, who is a Microsoft veteran from their era of peak dominance. I suspect it's a passion project of his that he'd like to hang on to, but he's also pragmatic and everything has its price. And it's profitable. I wouldn't be surprised if someone bought it. I can envision synergy between Stack Overflow and GitHub. Satya Nadella seems to really "get it", though, and I don't anticipate any dramatic changes to GitHub, or to Stack Overflow should they take it over.
Interesting way to see it. Could you please name a real ORM so I can understand the difference?
This is a very strange article. It's using one metric to make broad assumptions about the language.
The only reasonable thing would be to only restrict things that are actively breaking the law. Of course, that runs into breaking whose law, but I don't want to digress.

Maybe filter your advertising platform better, if your advertisors have oppinions. That's not maybe the easiest thing, but YouTube has hundreds of people to throw at forced requirements, and I'm a single person at a small company that gets these requests daily, and my give-a-damn is busted
Because otherwise, after COL, you might only save $10k per year in a developed country, and $30k per year in a developing country.

That would be just as lopsided and unfair to your remote workers as paying them all market rate, so that your employees in developed countries get paid $80k per year and your employees in India get paid $8k per year.

Or do you expect your developers in America to relocate to India?
If it would even be legal to fly around with this drones aren't we just moving the traffic from the ground in the air?

Simple crashes or driving mistakes will cause more deaths. So we would have to remote control them and synchronize everything and have some fallback software in case of connectivity issues.

But using this drones could be very useful in other scenarios but piloted by people with a bit more experience/training then a beginner driver.
Ask HN: Who is using Kubernetes or Docker in production and how has it been?
It's more than that too, workflows, CI, release process are all built around GitHub (your release artifacts automatically show up on GitHub when you push a tag right?). GitLab doesn't even have "releases" in the GitHub sense; their closest equivalent is the "tags" page hidden in a submenu and it only allows you to attach some Markdown text to the tag.

> It means that the Steam Store is going to contain something that you hate, and don't think should exist. Unless you don't have any opinions, that's guaranteed to happen. But you're also going to see something on the Store that you believe should be there, and some other people will hate it and want it not to exist.

I don't like the "both sides are the same" tone in this response. Imagine someone who makes an explicitly-racist-game-for-the-sake-of-being-racist. What kind of game would they "hate and not want to exist"? Probably like a game with feminist messaging or something. The implication is that somehow these two games are equal in speech value and counterbalance each other?

It's basically saying: "There's awful shit here, but now YOU are allowed to say awful shit too!" I don't want to say awful shit.

There's a difference between allowing a full range of opinions, and allowing garbage. This is a storefront. Nobody would bat an eye if Valve set a moderation policy with clear guidelines. It's normal for a store. Instead they just say, "screw it, literally anything not illegal is allowed." To be clear, I'm fine with a fairly loose policy and with controversial games, but please have SOME policy to weed out the useless bits.

Now when a developer makes an honest game, they can watch it briefly blip by the "new releases" page as "Kill the Jews Simulator DLC #13934" floods the rest of the page. It's just another burden for honest developers who have to deal with their games getting diluted by shovelware; now it's diluted by horrifying shovelware.
Well now that you mention it, in the communities I care about, IRC was replaced by Gitter (https://gitter.im/).

Which is also linked to GitHub accounts and repositories. Ironically, Gitter was bought by GitLab and open sourced, but they haven't changed the implementation to allow for chat rooms linked to GitLab repos. At the glacial pace it is evolving, it wouldn't be unfair to say that Gitter is probably relying solely on OSS contributions at this point.
We are all going to find out.

At the very least, the blockchain provides a degree of global immutability that was previously impossible.
But, see, the way to get it "clean" is by washing ones hands regularly with soap and warm water (ideally before touching it [1]).

Really, though, you're making the (likely false) assumption that ones "junk" is the only thing touched in the restroom. You're also ignoring the potential for aeresolized bits of feces sprayed by commercial flush mechanisms.

None of this adds up to "filthy" per se, but hand washing is one of the best disease spreading preventions we know of.

Personally, if they're not going to wash I'd rather someone not go anywhere near the sink after using the restroom instead of also touching the fixtures and giving the bacteria on their hands a drink of water.

[1] I once worked in a building with a dentist who washed both before and after.
They omitted the lede - the original plan for that day was disrupted by very severe sea and weather conditions; Eisenhower decided to risk the landing with a good chance of better weather by then, but would he have done so with less certainty about the tidal conditions as well? It was a close decision, so perhaps not, in which case there wouldn't have been a battle that day at all.

> There are more alternatives to IDA Pro. Hopper Disassembler is one. Binary Ninja (binja) is another.

Sure, but radare2 is open source which cuts both ways I suppose. IDA feels significantly more polished than r2, but I've had fun implementing a not-so-common-anymore architecture as a set of r2 plugins.

There's also the free version of IDA (x86 only though).
Yeah, "missing real human contacts" doesn't reflect my experience with remote work either. I'd characterize it as giving me much more control over my real human contact: I get to spend time with who I want on my own schedule to a much greater degree than I could in office jobs. Day to day that's mostly people who have nothing to do with my current work: girlfriend, friends, family, people at my krav maga classes, etc. and as a (sociable) introvert I don't burn through so much of my "social energy" just having to be around people in an office all day.
Start-ups are very hard to bring to profitability and sustainability. An existing business, once off the ground can usually live for a long time unless the management team really screws up or their market gets disrupted. Even in these cases they can drastically reduce their costs by firing personnel and limp along to better times.

There are also huge conglomerates which gobble up smaller brands, e.g. Kraft Heinz, Time Warner, Alphabet, 3M, etc.
They couldn't give a fuck about fragility.

Established businesses are in no way fragile. It's so ridiculous having to read this type of defensive argument.

Employees are a bunch of peons for the big corps, but they shouldn't try to organise because it will be somehow worse for them, right. Any type of group dynamic will not perfectly represent the interests of the group, and yet there are very successful unions out there even in the US, where capital had an long and bloody history trying to suppress them.
Yeah except the implication is that it's at the expense of other players, not that they want to simply join the ecosystem and contribute things that everyone can use with low barriers to exit -- the antithesis of open source. Some companies just join, donate hard work and earn good will without the expectation to cash in with their platform play.

No one has a problem with any company trying to improve it's relationship with any population of consumers it serves, but Microsoft seems to still be trying to create walled gardens and get developers in then make sure they don't leave.
It makes more logical sense if you value people's achievements. Some years, I simply have to put more emphasis on family. Or I may get crappy projects or overwork myself and have to recover. Other years are better.

I think a strong (30%+) bonus compensation plans + automatic basic raises guarantees the best results. You know you aren't "going for the next level" but simply executing and on bad quarters/years you don't get as much. Easier to accurately quantify in a profit-center as opposed to a cost center, for sure.
If that was a business requirement then developers must find a way to implement it. All we can do is to point out the extra costs of the implementation.
You can take screenshots by plugging a usb stick into the scope
Considering they keep bailing on new features that could make them money at an astounding rate, I think that's accurate.

The SO documentation site thing was gone before I could think about using it.
