It seems like the rate of site growth and the rate at which you expect answer value to age are independent, so it would be surprising if they were approximately the same and cancelled. And at the very least, SO popularity has to plateau at some point (if it hasn't already).
It doesn't actually take much of a torque converter to handle 1000+hp.

A stock style converter from a C6 or TH400 (half century old designs) should do the trick as long as you can cool them. Having a lockup converter that can deal with a 1000+hp is a whole different story.

Because they had already stated what they wished to be called. Once someone does that, conversation on the topic should be done; there is nothing more to be said. Choosing to ignore that is a massive sign of disrespect to the person, and should not be tolerated.

Which brings into question... what is so special about the "front-end" features that Git provides? Why not use another third-party service that integrates into your Github/Gitlab/Bitbucket repo, storing the meta data of all the pull requests, code reviews, discussions, etc, inside a "meta repo" itself? I see this incident as an important note in taking steps to decouple important "meta" features from the cloud-host itself.
It will be better to keep the cloud hosts as a bare bones skeleton that we can swap in/out at will (Github, Gitlab, etc), and then use another layer on top to provide all the nice fancy features.

It helps by allowing the generic flamewar topic to sink to the bottom of the thread, where it is less likely to burn everything else to a crisp.

The link back to the original parent is there to provide context for anyone who wants it.

It may be true that you didn't introduce the generic topic; flamewars arise by degrees, so the choice of where to snip them is often a little arbitrary. Usually we snip it where the discussion becomes unmoored from the topic, which might not be where the bait first appeared.
My issue with JIRA comes down fundamentally to their UI.

I used to be a JIRA power user in the mid/late 2000s. I think that was the pinnacle of it feeling like a very powerful tool. You could do a lot with their table views, filters, saved views, etc. It was easy to add fields, etc. That's when they were an issue tracker and the primary interface for editing things was just a highly customizable table.

Where JIRA started going off the rails is when they started to bolt on Agile methodologies to their existing system (which, in their defense, was where the whole industry was heading anyway).

But the nail in the coffin (for 2 years now) is that their new UI is just so damn hard to use. I find myself CONSTANTLY frustrated with doing very simple things. The app is slow and doesn't feel snappy like an SPA does nowadays.

The other day, I was on a screen share and trying to edit my notification settings (we were bulk editing a lot of stories and wanted to turn off the deluge of emails). I think the two of us in our screen share spent maybe 10 mins trying to find out where to shut down notifications, and failed. The UI is so damn convoluted. It's like the designers won every debate over any UX people, and focused on making things pretty instead of intuitive.

For them to truly compete with today's tools, I don't think they have a choice but to throw out the existing app and start new.

There have been more than enough events to trigger this though. I find it interesting how when people like Obama or Trudeau are cosy with the Saudis, the media is mostly silent about the injustices. It was only once the story could be used to hurt Trump around the time of an election that the liberal media latched onto it.

This is not to say that Trump is unworthy of the criticism but I think many other leaders, including those who vocally champion human rights, are just as culpable when it comes to Saudi Arabia.

I come from business programming in Swift (the usual CRUD API based stuff) and for me I completely get lost reading this once the formulas kick in. I have this problem as well when reading about more theoretical algorithm articles. Usually when I see the resulting code I do get it but I feel I miss out on a lot of theory.

Can anybody help me grok the more theoretical stuff in this article?
Thanks! The TLDR seems to be that there's an input turbine and an output turbine. (I probably should've seen that coming.)

I am taking your comment as a concise way to imply significant inefficiency and poor efficacy at NASA. If I am misreading, please let me know.

Such polar implications about the efficacy of private vs. government (whether in R&D or other domains) represent reality poorly, and in fact your example contradicts itself with the enormous amounts of beneficial R&D NACA and NASA did and which industry built upon. This doesn't excuse the extremely wasteful behavior of NASA (e.g., SLS); only to say that you can't paint it all with the same brush of "wasteful, inefficient, government".

It is necessary to have capable people acting with good judgment to do "good and effective" work. Neither government nor industry have a monopoly on people of mediocre effectiveness or judgment. It is true that the government doesn't have market pressure to call it on the carpet for wastefulness. But that's the same attribute that enables it to undertake moonshots or do hard, expensive R&D that benefits society as a whole.
In my previous job we used JIRA as our SCRUM board (cross teams, i.e. product, back, front, data science and design) and GitHub as our VCS. It was working pretty well. I don't get all the bad reviews about JIRA on HN. Not saying it's the best tool ever but it does the job. I wonder if it's because JIRA is more associated to a management tool than a developers tool?

BTW they made a new version (I didn't try it): https://www.atlassian.com/blog/jira-software/the-new-jira-be...
Doesn't that just make it a "grid"?
Hope it's OK to go off topic a bit and vent my gripe about connectors: You bump the connector and destroy the printed circuit board that it lives on.

Well, at least I got an oscilloscope for free that way. The inputs were flakey, and it was rejected by the calibration service. I opened it up, and re-soldered the printed circuit mounted input connectors. Lovely scope.
Videos were very instructive back then too.

At some point, we started to prioritize form over function.

Not tinfoil hat stuff, but not a particularly good strategic move for Russia.

SA-Russian relations have been strained by Syria, but they've actually improved substantially since mid/late 2016. MBS was in Moscow talking military issues in May 2016. And in September SA signed an agreement with Russia to limit oil production, widely seen as a major win for SA and OPEC more broadly. At the time, MBS explicitly told the Washington Post (of all papers) that he intended to coordinate with Russia to encourage them to move their regional focus from Tehran to Riyadh.

In 2017, they followed that up with a massive three-part contract selling Russian weapons to SA, committing Saudi money to energy investments in Russia, and bringing Russian petrochemical plants into SA. Later in 2017, the Saudis started pressuring the US to drop sanctions on Russia over Ukraine.

Saudi/Russian relations aren't perfect, but they've improved substantially. And more importantly, the improvement is heavily tied to MBS personally and his new direction for the country.

Meanwhile, Turkey is heavily pushing this story via the Istanbul consulate angle, in what's generally described as an attempt to destabilize a regional competitor and personally undermine MBS and his new direction. (Turkey likewise has strained-but-improving relations with Russia thanks to the work of its new strongman leader.) Depending on who you listen to, some of the extended Saud family is also advocating for this to become a crisis in order to oust MBS and return SA to its older positions.

So I can't really see what Russia gains from striking out at SA now, especially via a line that does less to weaken the country and more to weaken a specific leader who's been more friendly to Russia than his predecessors. This looks like a regional spat between two states Russia has been courting, plus an internal fight on which Russia sides heavily with MBS.

When he writes about ohw StackOverflow is first and foremost a wiki, he is offering a solution to this situation.

In the original vision of StackOverflow, that accepted and highly voted answer would be converted into a wiki. Then when it gets stale, it would be revised.

Not saying they do a good/bad job of this, just that, that's how it was supposed to work. And ya it would be totally frustrating as a new contrib because if the canonical answer was not converted to wiki yet, you can't really contribute.

It's not hard to argue that this is basically what happened in practice. Certainly it feels the same for those targeted. But I'd argue that the mechanism is different in ways that affect how it needs to be treated.

If there were norms that were actually being enforced, then existing enforcement could be brought to bear against the creepers. The problem is that there is no enforcement in the usual sense, allowing the creepers free rein to enforce, not any norms actually relating to the wider society, but their own emotional whims. In essence, rather than being proper enforcement of social norms, it is nothing but common bullying perpetrated by a vocal minority, which they get away with because there is no mechanism to bring any force to bear against the bullies. Their presence continues to be tolerated in the same way that any abusive person in a friend group is tolerated: it keeps the peace. Meanwhile, the targets leave because that's the closest thing they have to recourse.

The creeps don't mind Wheaton's Law or "Kind Communication Guidelines" much, because they know that no one with any clout will come after them for breaking the rules. Same goes for SQLite's adoption of the Rule of Saint Benedict, which they have already stated cannot be enforced for "minor" transactions. Only when the rules come with enforcement mechanisms do they actually complain, because that's the point when their targets gain a way to fight back against the bullying.
No, it's because parents in the West don't want their child to end up with the global average standard of living. They want a good standard of living as per their expectations of growing up in the West. The globsl median household income is under $10k per year. This is destitute for an American. The prospect of one's child endind up in such a situation is not appealing.

Hence, why Westerners are waiting to have kids and dedicating more resources towards them. Furthermore things integral to raising children like education have actually increased in cost over the past several decades.

My one issue with the first-gen X1 is that they used an obscure SSD type (I'm betting it's a Betamax/VHS issue), which meant sourcing a replacement SSD when mine started to die was a pain. In the end, I decided that it wasn't worth the risk & cost (either source an OEM drive in limited size for high cost or an expensive adapter from unknown sources and a quality drive). I ended up buying a T460 and am quite happy with it. I still miss the old scissor keys in my old X201, but Lenovo's chiclet keys are still better than the Macbook I have to use for work.
Do you really need a CoC to know someone who says "This code is fucking garbage and you should be ashamed" is an idiot? Do you really need a CoC to kick out someone who says that?

1. Why is respecting gender identity a "trojan horse" - in what way is it deceptive?

2. How is a project a meritocracy if it scares away potentially better contributors with an antagonistic discussion climate?

I feel like you and the Medium post are missing out crucial information here. What were these views? How did they relate to the workplace? The Medium post mentions she is friends with James Damore - who was clearly fired because his manifesto by implication, but unmistakebly deemed women developers less competent than men, thereby creating a hostile work environment, which the author completely glosses over. This leads me to suspect that the "disagreeing with the narrative" is a euphemism for anti-women, anti-minority views and policies.

Someone put Synapse on Wikipedia? Do you have a link?

My friend Nick McKinney and I borrowed $25k from a chiropractor and spent a year trying to get Linux users to replace X with Synapse (which was a paid offering that wasn't compatible with anything.)

I am/was in a similar situation where I really wanted to start something on the side. I spent 6-mo trying out new ideas and experienced all the same problems you did (i.e., tired after work, can't devote enough time to build the product, sucked at marketing, etc).

After 2 years, I finally have a nice SaaS business that's giving me some passive income. What did it for me was that I created a solution that solved MY problem. If you're trying to solve your own problem, turns out you'll spend time on it and most likely many other people have the same problem.

My side project keeps me a bit busy (usually 5-10 hrs a week) but it's really not bad considering that I'm saving time by solving a problem I had.

Just my two cents, as it seems that coming up with the right idea is half the battle.
"Partition failure" is a relatively specific term of art that implies it was a partial database failure, so "stuff broke because we lost part of a database".

It may not be in GitHub's best interest to describe much more than that because which database, which tables, and how they were partitioned can be secret performance sauce.

Repl.it (YC W18) raises $4.5M led by Andreessen Horowitz
During QE, the Federal Reserve bought huge amounts of toxic assets from the big banks, and flooded the banks' accounts with new money, but then paid the banks a higher rate of interest NOT to lend that money out (at least this is my understanding). That's a contributor to the slow "recovery" (which is really just slowly reinflating the credit bubble). The reason they would do this is to prevent high inflation from the massive increase in the monetary base. Effectively, QE just made the big banks balance sheets show "Red == Black" by having the Fed take the red onto itself.

So, normally you would be correct about the point of low interest, but in this new world, post-QE, low interest rates are really just there to keep the economy limping along by hiding the massive structural issues, instead of encouraging credit growth.

That's why the whole narrative about the Fed heroically saving the economy after 2008 crisis is pretty much nonsense, IMO. The problem still exists and it's worse than ever. Who knows what the next can-kicking solution will be, if there even is one?

I don't think you are a nazi. I do find it amusing that there are many here who often push the idea that "group of people X's behavior must be collectively honored and respected" yet also push "group of people Y's behavior must be collectively punished".

Also, real Nazis would definitely consider people as members of a group and not as individuals.

Why should it be any different? If people have different sensibilities does it not make sense for them to have separate communities? Sure there should be some baseline, but as said elsewhere what one person may take as abuse another may take as a joke. Maybe these people just shouldn’t play together.
> OK, so it seems that his own words contradict your assertion. Care to explain?

To quote the conclusion:

>> Please note, I am not diminishing what rape is, and or any particular person's experience. However, I am challenging the use of statistics that may be hyperbolic and misleading, and ultimately may be very counterproductive if it causes people to become afraid when the reality might not be as horrible as the "1 in 4" numbers might at first sound.

"Please note, I am not diminishing what rape is but I'd like to diminish the statistics around rape because when I think of rape I think of 80's movies where a brute forces a woman's legs open and not, you know, casual nonviolent stuff."

Ts'o tells us his aim with this, to try and cast doubt on the the way statistics are reported or used by attempting to draw a line between what he nonsensically separates as "violent" and "non-violent" rape. The idea that Rape is not Harm is a bit like suggesting that it's not really Home Robbery if you're not home while the burglar is there. It's like suggesting that if I take your wallet while you're drunk and passed out, I didn't steal from you because you were asking for it. And that you'd be in the wrong if you tried to call it theft, because there were no knives brandished and basically it wasn't stealing.

Did you read the citation carefully? It seems very obvious to me. Your pullquote doesn't even really invalidate my point. Forgive me, but it looks to me like you'd never actually read this article but you went looking through it for the very first quote that met your exoneration criterion, without regard to how it fit into the whole rhetorical structure.
Based on what the experts they hired told them this is example of "Telling only part of the story, showing bias, spinning things".

The experts NBC hired to conduct the demonstration insisted that the rockets wouldn't matter unless fuel spilled. They also told them that the explosion was sparked by a broken headlamp, not the rockets they added as part of the demonstration.

Additionally, the demonstration was designed not as a scientific test, but as a demonstration of something that had been proven to happen in the past. The problem was that the audience was likely mislead into believing it was an experiment as opposed to a dramatic recreation. They didn't create the story out of thin air.

Regardless it was 25 years ago, and the news organization in question was shamed, retracted the story, and made a apology.
>The KY-O1L doesn't run iOS or Android, and it has no app store. It also has no camera. It has built-in apps, though, including a Web browser, a calculator, and a calendar—so sure, it's technically a smartphone

The ICE in this is a 5.0L, twin-turbocharged monster that produces 1100hp and 950ft.lbs of torque. The electric motors really just need to carry this thing to about 30mph before the RPMs are high enough for the ICE to propel this thing with some authority.

900ft.lbs of torque at 3,000 RPMS is still 515 hp.
