"The BuzzFeed "pivot" away from podcasts makes sense when you remember that BuzzFeed lives and dies as a business on

In my opionion this is exactly what BuzzFeed lacks and what a lot of podcasts allow.

Red Hat and AdoptOpenJDK will be supporting OpenJDK 8 for quite some time yet. Oracle's JDK and JRE will stop getting public support, yes, but OpenJDK 8 will be alive and well for many years to come.
There will always be some people looking to take advantage of "the rules".

For some, that means finding bizarre loopholes far outside any reasonable intention of the rules. For others, it means attempting to enforce the rules with such rigidity that almost anything can be seen as a violation.

I think a healthy community will realize that it is not their rules that makes them resilient, but rather their ability to use sound judgement and be flexible about problems and solutions. Linux will not be destroyed by a CoC that tries to be more inclusive even if there are attempts at abusing that CoC.

Gamers have long been clammering about how they can't wait until in-game graphics match those of pre-rendered cinematics (that said, a lot of cinematics these days are no longer pre-rendered). Ray tracing is such an expensive operation. According to this quora, it took 29 hours to render a single frame of "Monsters University": https://www.quora.com/How-long-does-it-take-to-render-a-Pixa...

We're probably nowhere close to getting real-time Pixar-quality rendering in our games right now, but we've definitely made leaps and bounds over the last few decades.
Of course this was bound to happen, the entire point of a blockchain is supposed to be that joining it is voluntary based on a set of shared values that you wish to support by contributing resources to sustain the blockchain. Forcing someone to join the blockchain is nothing less than forcing them into a commercial racket, and completely renders irrelevant the fundamental value proposition of decentralization.
It's not - QtWebEngine strips a lot of Chromiums sources (like the entire UI, and things like Google sign-in code) out.
Trust and transparency.
I totally agree!

Large tech focused corps usually have a career path for individual contributors to rise up the ranks without becoming people managers. This career path is almost meaningless unless there is a corporate culture of collaboration between ICs and directors/VPs.

A senior IC should not be navel gazing all the time and just building whatever or getting into peoples business while VPs should not be so protective of their thing to dismiss or wall off outside contributions.

"Assume positive intent" and "It's all the same stock price" is heard around here a lot.

In my experience, this decision is correct. Noscript does cause the browser to bog down and do all manner of annoying things that causes instability.

As a project lead, you get to decide things like what goes in the project or leaves. Not everything needs a discussion once it has been decided.

I suspect the "not allowed to be discussed" is implemented so that these discussions are bypassed and those that don't like the decision can simply vote with their feet.
> Ever since they forced out Brendan [...] FF has really started to go down hill

I'm sorry you weren't around when Firefox (then called Phoenix) was really good, but most FF problems pre-date 2014. They are actually being addressed just about now.
>They require time, and expertise to produce, not much money.

At some point though, time and expertise are money. I'll do an interview-style/conversational podcast as a hobby or as one of the many little side things I do for my day job. But you start talking about multi-day production efforts and that's not something I'm just going to do for free.

Conversational podcasts about some niche topic and Radiolab both have their place. But there are real costs associated with production values.

Since he was pointing out scammers buying popular extensions: I would like to mention that this is a chrome specific problem. Something like this isn't common with firefox addons.
Yeah, I'm quite skeptical of it as well. If I'm being really charitable to it, then it's a way to synchronize data between parties without relying on a trusted intermediary. That said, it's unclear what practical value that has outside of purely digital applications like cryptocurrency. When you roll it into things in the real world (e.g., supply chains, health records, etc.) then you necessarily have to trust the data sources and sensors, at which point what good is a blockchain?
I am well aware of those features.

Only Scala shops can make effective use of them, and I am yet to do a project where Scala libraries were even considered.
You don't have to use pug at all. Pug is more like Zulko's personal choice. You can go with any templating options as long as Vue loader supports.

I'm shocked how well Twitter worked here, normally I dread reading long tweet threads but this worked really well. Short videos and a good mix of media helps a ton.
My impression is that they've explicitly advertised their intention not to sell user data:

I think that the number of primitive functions in a language like APL should be compared to the number of functions in, say, Python's standard library, which is several orders of magnitude larger. In APL, the language is the library. In more mainstream languages there's a sharper delineation. Longer and (sometimes) more suggestive names seem to make the task of learning a large standard library feel less onerous, but the experience of gradually acquiring more familiarity with the building blocks which are readily at hand is ultimately the same.
It's easier for me to replicate this functionality myself. I run unbound with a domain name blacklist. Same functionality, no need for additional hardware.

> 82% reduction in the number of bytes transferred

No doubt the reduction is important, however as per screenshots, the reported reduction should be considered somewhat inaccurate as he forgot to check "Disable cache" for the Pi-Hole version, while it is checked for the non-Pi-Hole version. We can see resources pulled from browser cache in the Pi-Hole version.
WhatsApp Cofounder Brian Acton Gives the Inside Story on #DeleteFacebook
I wonder how much of the dashboard could really be relocated. Bosch had just began developing the CAN protocol that year and chips wouldn't be available until four years later. There's an illustration I found [0] that shows how the modules connect and based on the history of the automotive databus, I don't think it would have been able to give you a dashboard as populated as the image in your link. There would need to be a pair of power pins along with a pair of pins for every value you would want to read out (either for analog voltages or RS-422 since SPI/I2C/CAN had not been invented yet). I'm guessing there might have been hard restrictions on some modules like the stereo and speakers, why would you want the speakers to be anywhere else in the car? Going off of the typical dashboard in the 80s, you have speed, tach, fuel, battery level, oil temp, radiator temp, and the odometer and a trip meter. Maybe integrate the trip meter with the odometer value to reduce the 3-4 wires needed for displaying/resetting it. The clock would only need power. Then add in the climate control, that has to be at least a couple more signals for temperature and fan speed and maybe an on/off for the AC if it was available at the time. Don't forget all the status lights, that is going to add a lot more pins to these connectors. The actual pictures don't show any of how they connect. The illustration shows what looks like two connectors. Maybe that's how they did it, two 25 pin d-subs would probably be enough for running everything out to every module dock, impractical but possible. You could accomplish this today with a single 4 pin connector: power, ground, can+, can-.

Use the Yubico Authenticator app. The main difference is the (secured) storaged of the shared secret. With Google Authenticator, your keys are stored on the phone.

With Yubico's authenticator, you store the secrets ontp your Yubikey. This means you can reset your phone and still be able to use the same TOTP shared secrets. Or if that matters, ask a friend to install the app and use your Yubikeys to get the TOTP.

I've tried using Pi-hole a few times in the past, but I always end up shutting it down again. It breaks too many things, and it doesn't block as many ads as a browser-based adblocker does. I wanted to believe, though.

I don’t think Microsoft completely understands just how far behind they are on that wave.

Compiling a TensorFlow Lite Build with Custom Operations
I've taken the attitude that I should be as dispassionate as possible to the work I do. Which doesn't mean don't care about the work I do, but there's a point where I become a perfectionist over the projects I truly care about.

It was actually one of my managers who told me to get some perspective about it, it was very hard for me to realize that my work ultimately doesn't define me.
I struggle to wake up early in the winter months in particular. My body resists being up before the sun. Do you have this problem? If so, do you just will yourself through it or is there a better solution?
This is really a really weird overdesigned API. Maybe I don't understand the purpose of it but it seems like an excessive use of design patterns.

Why would you need a Builder method on a static object to create a request object? Oh well, let me rephrase that: First you instantiate a Builder object that you need to call the create method on to get a request. Makes no sense to me.

What not make HttpRequest a concrete class and just instantiate it? If there's any good reason for that design please enlighten me.
I am not sure what you mean here. There is no contract, which turns an insurance administrator to an insurance under-signer.

thats where "you have to assume good intentions" comes in.
if you ask that in good faith, to get a clear picture of bob and resolve misinterpretations, no harm is done. i dont care where you ask that, but you can do that. the CoM does not prevent discussing those topics (e.g. to resolve misunderstandings). it just states that they are irrelevant for "your value or that of your contribution".
Man, I’ve really wanted to take the plunge and dedicate some play time to GUIX for a while now. I feel like between the GUIX package system and Shepherd, they’re creating an authentically new and exciting thing in the universe of Linux distributions.

The fact that they’re using Scheme for so much of it is also pretty cool, as I think this sort of high level systems programming is a great potential use case for showcasing meta programming as well as the unique power of lisps for code-as-data.
> does not require the individual instances to have perfect connectivity and perfect trust all the time.

The blockchain does not solve the trust issue in this scenario.

Blockchains only work there is a verify unit entirely enclosed in the system - including the origins of any "unit" on the system.

* Bitcoin/Ethereum/etc - "coins" are a completely digital concept fully enclosed by the system. "coins" are generated in a predictable, consensus based manner with consensus based means of exchanging their value.

* Distributed Filesharing - "files" are stored in encrypted in a verifiable manner. I have an identity (or multiple identities) on the system which I can use to verify the source. Trust does become a factor in something like Civil where credibility is attached to a trust that an author actually published something.

* Food - involves a physical good that cannot be verified by the "blockchain". I can verify that SOME item went through a certain set of checkpoints. I can possibly verify that the SAME item went through a certain set of checkpoints. I cannot however verify the authenticity of any item before entering into the system. I have to rely on a middle-man (e.g. Walmart, Kroger, Whole Foods, etc) to verify authenticity at the origin point. They also have to implement safe guards that ensure goods cannot be tampered with between checkpoints. That relies on trusting the middleman to have appropriate safeguards in place.

Vivaldi has severe touchpad scroll lag under Windows, making it neigh unusable (with and without smooth scrolling enabled). How do developers manage to consistently break functionality that is natively implemented correctly in the OS?
So what's the impetus for the news business to be available online? If the world wide web should be a free love utopia of data slurping why would these agencies, who have been built on the assumption that the creation and presentation of their data has an inherent worth? How do they get remunerated for their efforts? Or do they just never try to take advantage of this new epoch and die off, leaving us with a billion half-assed citizen journalists?
Pod Save is doing a great job with this, but other ones like the Ezra Klein one are usually...tedious and you can tell when the host just loves the sound of their own voice.
If normal speedruns are like playing speed chess, tool-assisted speedruns are like finding the theoretically-optimal solutions to chess problems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_problem). Both of them require intense devotion to the game, though the first emphasizes physical ability and execution while the second emphasizes exhaustive thinking.
This is an important insight. A key characteristic of a "supply chain" is that no one company really "owns" it, and so integration to centralized systems is frequently unattractive. If a blockchain provides a decentralized repository for data, and the data that is stored can be effectively masked, then it gains real value. If it is just decentralized supply chain dropbox, then it doesn't do much.

User account security and role/employer based data masking across all companies and all data are the key requirement, lack of the central intermediary is table stakes.
I definitely agree with Hillel's prescription here. In a complex topic, you need different kinds of literature. For beginners, there is J for C Programmers, and for experts there is NuVoc and the official dictionary. But for intermediate users who grasp the basic concepts, J and other APLs are harder than other languages because there seems to be a whole strategic aspect separate from the tactical aspect. It seems as though trying to figure out how to do something in APL based on experience with any non-APL programming language gives you a huge X-Y problem, where even you cannot even trust how you would decompose the problem. Relearning that after a dozen or so more conventional languages seems to be a significant cognitive barrier.

This confrontation with an alien culture of computing seems to make us recoil in horror for the most part. But having been over that barrier with SQL and Prolog, I find it plausible that the APLs really do represent a more elegant approach to computation that just requires a much larger up-front investment.

Entertaining and educational. What kinds of things do you like? There's probably a podcast for it. I listen to podcasts on subjects I dind't even know I liked and now am much more interested in them (medical history: SawBones; economics: Freakonomics, The Indicator, Planet Money)
The dithering on images is actually kinda nice. Less visual over-stimulation.

But whatever this site is doing with the fixed-scroll yellow block is super weird. There's a "95%" thing next to a sun - is it somehow related to the solar battery powering the server?

Rather than focusing on the content, the design focuses on the infrastructure at the expense of the content. Maybe that's the point, but this particular element is certainly off-putting.
> "Also, podcasting doesn’t really have an established way of measuring success that advertisers can get comfortable with, apart from just tracking raw downloads."

What's wrong with tracking raw downloads? This seems like a great way to measure a podcast's success since the number of downloads probably tracks pretty closely to the number of listeners (sure, I might download an episode or two of a new podcast to try it out, but I generally only download later episodes of podcasts I actually listen to).

As an aside, I think that podcasts are to radio what netflix is to television, in that netflix is able to profit off of shows with niche audiences. With users pulling content rather than producers pushing content, you end up with a lot more niche content. In the past month alone, I've listened to podcasts about:

* Analysis of supreme court decisions (First Mondays)

* A history of the watergate scandal (Slow Burn)

* A history of the English Revolution (Revolutions)

* Political interviews (various podcasts)

* Improvisational comedy (Improv4Humans)

* Random historical figures with a comedic twist (The Dollop)

Some of what I listen to is meant for a mass audience, but some of it is targeting a pretty specific audience, which I think is awesome. Personally, I love finding podcasts that get into the nitty-gritty details of whatever the subject is. I almost don't care about what the subject is, as long as the presenter is passionate about it.
But why all the effort needed when you can simply use the open-source Java version called OpenJDK? It's virtually identical to Oracle's JDK, only without commercial support, and it's licensed the same way those other alternatives you're suggesting.

Besides, dotnet core would not be a better replacement: it's got a large corporation behind too, so nothing prevents them to do the same in the future.
Incorrect. Fidonet and Usenet are two examples of built communities that were able to have reasonable discussions with up to days or weeks between messages.
I'd also recommend turning off auto-updates for extensions (which is possible in Firefox). You also get a page with pending and recent updates, complete with release notes if the addon author provides them.
I completely agree on the Maps experience. These days I'm constantly annoyed by it. When I search for a place the map jumps around like crazy, causing me to lose track of my current focus area and my points of interest from previous search. Not to mention the hiccups on 3rd party browsers.

There was a post on HN a while back which compares Google Maps with traditional paper maps. It had a lot of insights I wish I could find it.
I like the gauge, but wish it was only in the corner or something. That it is the background of the whole page is pretty distracting.
