On premises git hosting with Gittea or GitLab with mirrors to GitHub seems like a smart idea going forward.
Thanks for writing this, Jeff! I was very cheered to see a gentle but firm defense of SO's mission -- and of the users who make it happen -- this morning. Doubly so given [the latest nonsense-bomb that SO corp decided to drop][0] on those users this week.

Yes, that's how it is today. That's why I want proper merging and decay, so that fresh answers actually have a shot of getting to the top while people see a single relevant thread.
Blue states have a higher concentration of wealth. I thought high taxes on the wealthy is what we want?
I really like how, just when I got interested in Graph Databases, this springs up.

I also really like the Cypher Syntax. I am definitely going to give Neoj4 and RedisGraph a go at some point.
You're arguing something completely orthogonal to what I said.
I agree almost completely with your comment, with the exception of the second paragraph.

We created a community with a different set of social norms, norms that are enforced as aggressively and often as inappropriately as any others.
The UN is mainly a a forum for a bunch of sovereign nations, not a world government. Sovereign nations can (and do) aplly sanctions where they see fit, unilaterally or in ad hoc multi-lateral agreements.

So, here's the thing. Statements like this?

Rather, the problem is that if we make demographic D feel unwelcome, we lose out on possible contributors. And very likely also others that are not in demographic D.

This is not a new statement. This is what people pushing diversity have been saying for years and years. The only ways for this to be a new and refreshing thing to you are:

1. You were not paying attention, or

2. You were getting all your information from people who were doing their best to misinform you.
Agree.

I'm fan of Nonviolent Communication a.k.a Collaborative Communication.

NVC acknowledges that moralistic judgments and demands make communication harder, not easier. Still it's important that people should be able to communicate the feelings, needs and make requests.

I believe they are actually so named because the instruments they originally invested in (primarily derivatives) had previously been for hedging positions in cash markets (ie markets on the underlyers) and "hedge funds" were the first funds that just used these "hedge instruments". They always used them primarily for speculation though, not primarily hedging.
Totally missing the point.

I say again: Saudi wants nothing to do with Yemen, and that they are personal and prickly with Qatar has nothing do do with anything.

When Yemen was peaceful, Saudi coexisted in peace with it.

As Iran tries to destabilize the region and antagonize Saudi Arabia by supplying weapons and support ... then it becomes a problem.

There are literally missiles flying over Riyadh, supplied by Iran.

Now who is trying to disrupt who?

"When the Saudi's tried to threaten Canada recently by pulling out investment and students you could see this was going to be a challenging year for them."

Again, it's stupid for Saudis - but this has nothing to do with anything.

Their childish relationship with Qatar and response to Canada means little.

Missiles over Riyadh supplied by Iran is essentially and act of war from Iran and they definitely should defend themselves.
The current push for codes of conduct in software projects isn't about harassment per se. Realistically anyone can be harassed out of a community regardless of rules. The point of the rules is to change the norms such that behavior that would otherwise have been exclusionary or just off-putting is specifically called out and recognized as "wrong".

"This code is fucking garbage and you should be ashamed" may or may not be "harassement" according to the intent of the writer or interpretation of the reader. But it's still wrong and we don't want that.
Ask HN: How do you deploy your Node.js back ends?
- Strong-PM seems abandoned since the IBM aquisition, with no fork emerging.

- PM2 feels a bit fragile (and has over 500 open issues on github).

- There's always docker with the surrounding tooling, but that seems like massive overkill for running a bunch of nodejs apps.

Given the popularity of nodejs, there must be something obvious I am missing?
>The thing the galls me the most about that article is it doesn't once stop to try to say or find out how much the guy is working to bring in that much, spoiler it's going to be a lot of hours given it's overtime and his base compensation is only 50k.

You're right, it deceptively leaves out such vital information.

It also leaves out:

- how productive he actually was for each of those 80 hours

- how many workers "only" at 1.5x time were willing to take those shifts but denied because of seniority

- how much of the compensation came from the non-standard practice of letting him redeem PTO for 2x its value by applying it to week where he already worked overtime

- whether those long, hard hours actually translated into clean BART stations, or were just roundabout compensation for being physically present but ineffective

Once you have that full picture, I'm pretty sure the typical person's initial reaction will be closer to right than wrong.

I also lacked the skills to design my own (working!) PCB. I started learning (MSP430 and TI RTOS) and realized that it was going to take years for me to come up to speed. However, I did learn enough to better communicate my EE design goals.

Ultimately, I hired a EE off of Upwork and it was a great collaboration, and went on to design a few more simple breakout boards with them. To choose my EE, I balanced price and ability to communicate in English.

The board we designed was a PyCom (ESP32) expansion board that had a handful of peripherals I needed for various side projects. Among those were a USB chip (MAX3421E), a 24-bit ADC for load cells (ADS1231), and a battery charge circuit.

But they won't, and that's the beauty of the way it was set up. Every state still gets two votes in the Senate, and you can't change that without an amendment.

The majority of the small states still have to sign off on "altering the deal" for it to pass.

The Constitution is far more than a piece of paper, it's the foundation of all law in the US.

Well, in the case of volunteer software projects, I think people who make significant contributions should be cut a great deal of slack, whereas those who criticize contributors without contributing themselves aren't entitled to any slack at all.

Cholesterol is not really a diet ingredient, but a substance that is created and maintained by your body. It's vital to functions such as learning, memory, and repairing blood vessels. Almost all cells in your body can make cholesterol.

Eating foods with cholesterol does not directly correlate to your body's own level of cholesterol. If someone has high cholesterol, it's likely a symptom of a different problem.
This muslim chippy owner just told me that halal chippies never use beef dripping, when I asked about what oil they were using.

But as you say, it may not be because beef dripping as such is haram, but rather that the beef dripping that is available and used at traditional English chippies is not.

Honestly, I don't know why. I still look out for the halal sign on chippies, but I've also become better at telling just by the smell.
There were 68k/PPC fat binaries too, though this was as much about compatibility with older systems as it was for performance (the emulated 68k system on PPC was quicker than any 68k hardware).
I wonder if after that, the copies that were distributed under GPL could still be distributed as such. Are the GPL kernel and system library sources still available to download from somewhere (like archive.org or maybe a Solaris fan's website)?

teaching each other to be awesome to each other

My experience is this lasts about five minutes before someone starts using quibbles about the precise definition of "be awesome to each other" to suggest they should be allowed to be non-awesome to people and suffer no consequences for it. Sooner or later you have to actually set down some more specific guidelines and a mechanism for enforcing them.

Blue states tend to have higher income or property taxes to pay for the social services they provide. That has always (literally, since income tax was first enacted) been tax-deductible on the Federal level. That deduction was removed as part of the recent tax bill.

Ask HN: how to mod my x230 Lenovo bios myself to remove the WiFi card whitelist?
I have a Lenovo x230 that I love very dearly. It's the perfect mix of sobriety, reparability, low price, durability.

However, the WiFi is slow. So I put an ac card in it and flashed coreboot. The issue is that coreboot runs into trouble with most USB3 hard drive enclosures I have, where the Lenovo bios doesn't.

I'd like to revert to the Lenovo bios while the USB3 situation is problematic with coreboot, but to do that and keep using my aftermarket WiFi card, I need a modified bios that will skip the WiFi card whitelist check.

Now some users on the bios mod forums offer to do the mod for a fee, but I'd rather learn how to do it myself so I don't depend on others doing it for me every time there is a bios update. Unfortunately, there are no explanations I could find online on how to do it.

So, where would I start if I wanted to learn how do to it myself and share the method with others once I figured it out?

Pretty much all database questions have a severe case of this.

Huge swathes of features appear at transition points like MySQL 5.5 -> 5.6, which means lots of answers are now viable but no longer the best option. And since they are still correct, it's hard to write up new questions which won't be closed: instead of saying "Answer X no longer works", users have to say "Is Answer X still the best approach?" and get closed for duplication or subjectivity.

Worse still, lots of databases still have multiple versions in active use, so "worked great for me! - posted yesterday" isn't even a helpful reference.
Why appalling? You also don't have to pay the SS taxes under such schemes and they typically give a better return because they're not effectively invested 100% in government bonds.

It's relevant because this wave of CoC attacks on open source projects was started by someone who has literally said "I can’t wait for the mass exodus from Linux now that it’s been infiltrated by SJWs."[1], in reference to the kernel adopting their CoC.

This person obviously does not care about the people who contribute to the kernel.

They wrote the "Contributor Covenant"[2], which is what the kernel (among tons of other projects) adopted.

The reason Kentucky teachers don't get Social Security dates back to 1935 when the Social Security law was enacted, leaving out state and municipal employees, said Beau Barnes, deputy executive director of the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System, or KTRS...Teachers do not pay into Social Security but pay into their state retirement systems.

It sounds like that was a conscious choice. It's not like it was taken away from them.
Considering the tax bill is yet more theft from blue states (you know, the states that actually create most of the wealth) and gifts to red states, this is kind of laughable.
Maximized Monte Carlo Testing with MCHT
Making yourself an ethical arbiter is opt-in; deciding to pursue profit within the constraints of a particular legal regime (or indeed a particular religion ethical doctrine) but otherwise apolitically is entirely legitimate, and I suspect makes one more likely to act in a genuinely good way than chasing the hot-button issues of the day.

And these are exactly the kinds of things the home buyer should take into account. But if the builder doesn't need or want something, they shouldn't be forced to build it for the sake of a theoretical buyer decades in the future. If the builder doesn't put in something that is in high demand it will negatively impact their ability to sell the home or they'll have to price it accordingly. Seems like a pretty good system without having a government commission tell someone they need an arbitrary number of parking spaces that they have no use for.

In this case, the one nation whose sanctions are likely to impact the culprit is hesitant to do so because that will prevent the sales of weapons that invite the sanctions in the first place.
==I wouldn't assume anything there.==

If you are going to dismiss it, then you should bring some evidence. Failing that, it is safe to assume that if profit-seeking corporations continue to spend billions of dollars a year for advertising, there is some return on investment. If there wasn't, the market would adjust.

== It's social media for a reason. ==

I don't understand what this means. They added the word social, so it is no longer media?
Look, we have state police, army and then see how disastrous private healthcare turned out to be.

Maybe DARPA should step up their game then, as instead of nationalising the Intel they could nationalise their IP and work on affordable and _fast_ CPU for the people as Intel fails to deliver.

We are yet to see a private company landing human on the moon. Imagine what CPU we could have today if state really took over.
Affirmative action is about noticing that a system was biased against a particular group of people, and attempting to counteract the bias. For example: if Group X is historically discriminated against, and you can quantify the resulting bias (which may not be conscious) such that on a 100-point school admission scale it works out to on average a 5-point disadvantage, adding some points based on membership in that group is not "reverse discrimination" -- it is a correction for the known inaccuracy of the admission system (since in an unbiased system, candidates from that group would, on average, have scored higher).

And if you believe discrimination should be banished, when will you be showing up to protest schools which give preferential admission to "legacies" (descendants or other kin of alumni), to protest companies which preferentially recruit from only very specific schools, or other forms of admission/recruiting/hiring which give weight to factors other than pure individual merit?

Why is it such a dog whistle?

What's mindblowing is the rage that seems to pour out of, mostly, non-contributors when this stuff comes up. There is a more fundamental insecurity or just a fundamental disrespect that some of these folks seem to have for others. I've heard claims that there have even been planted "social justice warriors" that have intentionally engaged in conflict to change projects. When you have guys like Eric Raymond saying that sort of thing, what do you expect?
I happen to have autism (and, it seems Hans Reiser also has autism, or perhaps his father merely argued that I am not sure). Autism is no excuse for harmful behaviour (such as rude behaviour). As part of a project of reintegrating in society I received specific training to act like NTs in a corporate environment. In any social setting there are lower limits which are lines which should not be crossed. Don't want that? Hire someone who acts like a middleman in those social settings e.g. a secretary.

React Native Route Configuration Example Using React Navigation Library
I think I posted in a parent comment that I think they did follow the (somewhat arbitrarily defined process) if you give leeway to the phrase "After reaching general consensus or voting takes place"; whereas it seemed like a general consensus was reached in that situation. I think a clearer process that's a little more transparent would definitely be beneficial, including clearing up that phrasing.

On the sidenote, I personally don't run into many (if any) situations where I would use concise object literal notation. I'm on the fence as to the issue of clarity and whether it would help/detract/be neutral for Haxe.

The style of concise object literals is fairly inconsistent with the rest of the language at the current time, and I could see how it could lead to clarity/confusion issues. Because I believe it's more of a syntactic sugar than anything else I am leaning to agree that macros may be the way to go for it.
Its not clear that the sanctions have anything to do with the moral considerations, as opposed to the domestic and geo-political considerations, which actually dominate the decision making process. Sanctions on Russia after Ukraine had no more to do with the moral significance of their invasion than the absence of French/German sanctions on the UK/US after the invasion of Iraq. We only sanction bad behaviour when either geopolitics or domestic politics makes it convenient to do so.

We don't need this kind of accusatory commentary on HN, I don't think.
depending on your application logic you can get external inconsistencies. like your typical CRUD app might dump the state of an entity in an edit form, then a user might edit one field, and the whole form is sent to the backend and written over whatever exists there. if you have two different masters then you can get a series of updates where you can't tell if the update is because the user meant to make the change or if it was because the change was incorrectly propagated from the other master. like even if you knew the user read from the other master you can't tell if the user intended the change or not. maybe they saw the value was the value they wanted so they didn't change it.

i guess this is a 'bug' because when you do stuff like this you should include some kind of version identifier to catch a concurrent update in the normal case. this scenario is also 'storing stuff outside the DB' kind of similar to the user_id in the cookie getting out of sync.
But then you have to host it and maintain it. It's a slippery slope. How many 3rd party services do you in-house with hosted OS software. Pretty soon you're spending a huge chunk of your time doing ops work. And, where do you host it? On AWS, which can also go down, or on hardware hosted at your office. With on premise hosting, now you're in the hardware game too.

I'd expect something like uBlock stripping this off.
Showing related shows is a nice feature. The Netflix implementation feels mildly manipulative. It is as if they are pretending the film or show you are looking for does not exist and hoping you will just watch something else on their network rather than leave for another network.

I'd much rather see an acknowledgment that the show exists and that they don't carry it, and a list of related titles separated by actor, genre, director, etc. If contract allows, they could even include a "Coming on %month %date" if a licensing agreement has been reached but is not yet active. That might make me just wait until they have the title and find something else to watch now, rather than checking if (say) HBO has the movie. Additionally, they could have a "request this title" button, even if it does nothing because they're already basing their leasings on search data.

I'd also like a list of places I can view it a la gowatchit.com, but I can understand why they don't do that.
