Hi HN. The RC of the first stable LibrePCB release is out! Testing and feedback is welcome.

LibrePCB is a free EDA software to develop printed circuit boards. The focus is on a good library format and on ease of use.

ubruhin (the main author of LibrePCB) will watch the comments and will answer your questions :)
> No. It's because it happens face to face between regular people on the street. i.e. me and a military man holding an AK 47.

>In America, it happens behind closed doors in boardrooms and offices.

Your comment makes no sense at all. Do you believe that in the land where military men carrying AK47 overtly demand bribes you don't see any corruption happening behind closed doors?

In fact, the only reasonable take from your observation is that there might be corruption in the US but at least society is effective at shutting down corruption by lowly law enforcement officers.

There was an online game I used to play called "Utopia" (closely related to Earth: 2025). It was structured in "seasons", where every 3 to 6 months, the game would reset from scratch.

I think Stack Overflow would benefit from a similar reset cycle. Perhaps users / badges / moderators can remain the same between seasons, but every 5-years or so, just reset the entirety of StackOverflow.

That means:

1. Making "old StackOverflow" read-only. The goal being, these answers may be stale and no longer relevant.

2. Migrate "fresh" stuff over to the next season. Say, everything within the past year is assumed to be fresh-enough to continue to the next season. This is automatic.

3. Users would only have to worry about duplicates within the current season.

4. Referencing an "old season" of StackOverflow is encouraged. If an old answer is still relevant, then you can ask / answer it in the new season. Provide badges for this easy job so that the community can easily push and "renew" the data to ensure it remains relevant.

5. Historical answers can remain archived. There's a lot of answers which are important for history's sake, but changing the text to be relevant for today's programmers may lose the history of some answers. As such: a historical archive of what programmers thought was best in 2013 is best left alone, but "new answers" which reference the old post + updates with new recent developments would provide context. IE: "Don't use std::shared_ptr<> with new[] in C++" (correct in 2013, but incorrect after C++ 2017, which allows shared_ptr<int[]> to use the correct delete[] operator in these cases). Documenting the history and changes of languages is important too!

--------

Yes, StackOverflow is a lot like Wikipedia. But unlike Wikipedia, the tech world is incredibly fast paced. Answers for Java 1.4 are likely irrelevant in today's world.

I dunno, maybe 5-years is too long, or maybe not often enough. But some "season" cycle would be a good rebirth / renewal period for the website.
Yes? Shotwell was the 11th employee of SpaceX, and isn't CEO of multiple other companies.
The new x1 extreme / p1 is notably missing.
That would be a logical assumption, wouldn't it.
I think it's very on topic - connector mounting and robustness is important.

BNC connectors hit a great sweet-spot of being cheap and easily available for bulkhead mounting. I've used them for power in data loggers before, since they're positive locking. Felt a bit dirty, but just pretended I was in a research lab where BNC for DC power is very common.

The Aesthetic-Usability Effect
This is true. But why would they have an overstock? Either it is unpopular and not worth counterfeiting or it’s counterfeited immediately because it’s popular to undercut. The scenarios seem difficult to distinguish.

> So while they might make a show of being upset, after the way they snubbed Iran they have nowhere to go if they want to pivot from the Saudis to a different potential regional ally

The answer to that is Turkey; it's the last remaining regional power that has a chance of being seen as the de facto leader of the muslim middle east. For anyone who has been watching closely, the hidden story here is the way Erdogan has masterfully handled both the press in order to drive public opinion. A couple weeks ago every major Turkish and U.S. newspaper ran almost the exact same story (as far as the facts) and it was straight off of Erdogan's desk. Turkey has been very effective at driving the news cycle and painting the Kingdom of S.A. into a corner.

The Turks have also been trying very hard to create a close relationship with the Trump White House - the very first scandal of the administration was when it was revealed that Michael Flynn had taken >$500K from a Dutch company run by a prominent Turkish businessman with close ties to Erdogan.
The real disaster was XP. Windows 8 was a relatively straightforward push forward from where Windows 7 was at the time. It just didn't get that chance at a benefit of such doubt because the vast majority of (especially corporate) users weren't even trying to upgrade to Windows 8 from Windows 7, they were still trying to wrap their heads around upgrading out of Windows XP before Microsoft dropped an overly-generous run of decades of security updates.

Microkernels are IPC-heavy, right? What I rather imagine is having modules at source level, not kernel level. So the thing still compiles down to a monolith/hybrid, but modules are abstracted away and reusable.
> That's not a solution. Tags are hidden at the bottom of the answer.

Yes, it really is. Tags are used to filter results. Stackoverflow specifically lets users run searches only on specific tags, or even exclude certain tags from the search results. As tags reflect technologies and their versions, stackoverflow enables users to run queries only on specific versions.

My point is that they are different from Keynes' own views.
Likewise, I'm curious about the energy consumption of fabricating structures of this size (and greater) via laser sintering, when compared to conventional techniques of casting i-beams and welding only at the joints. The power required to effectively melt each cubic millimeter inside the structure, and also to position the robot arm throughout, doesn't look like it would be streamlined much if done at scale.
Allowing businesses to divorce themselves from responsibility for the effects of what they produce, regardless of consumer choice, is too easy. I have no idea what the equivalent of "Saturday morning cartoons" is today, but 20 years ago, that slot was filled with commercials for sugary foods, targeted at children. Now we have payday loans, "buy here pay here" and a host of other services that capitalize on unsophisticated consumers in precarious economic conditions.

Capitalism is what it is - an utterly amoral engine of profit. Without regulation and legal frameworks it will create slaves, destroy the environment, kill and maim people - there's almost no limit.

What the OP's anecdote illustrates is that there's also a deep cultural issue at play.
The cube animation was introduced in 2002-2003 if I remember correctly, and it is still present in macOS when changing users using fast-user-switching.
Looking at their source code dump for 11.4, nearly everything that isn't GPL is missing. It's less open than macos.
If this were 2010 I'd agree with you, but technology is changing very quickly.

We are very close to the ability to use bonds to pay for goods instead of cash. This allows you to buy things with "strings attached" so the bond becomes valueless under certain circumstances. E.g., I will buy your eggs, with a $8 bond which will lose its value if you are proved within my network of trust to have paid a worker less than a living wage.

Of course this $8 bond is worth less than $8 in cash, but the eggs purchased with the bond are worth more to me than eggs purchased with cash.

This will enable people to spend money and ensure that their revenues are reinvested according to their values.

This is one of my candidates for a "killer app" for Ethereum.

This is absolutely necessary as a key check on dirty money, since cryptocurrency has dramatically loosened up the ability for cash to flow between regulatory regimes.

But then people use excuses like "I have thick skin, I wouldn't be offended if someone else said the same thing to me, I prefer honesty over decorum", etc. Most often these people come from a privileged background where negative feedback rolls off more easily because they know that, at the end of the day, they'll always have a comfortable life without any serious hardship.

Clearly RMS believes in having software licenses with teeth, which is why he so strongly advocates the GPL over the BSD and MIT licenses.
When he disagreed with Apple's stance on IP litigation, he didn't just exhort them to be excellent — he boycotted them for several years.
So it's not that RMS is strongly opposed to coercive enforcement; he just doesn't value people as highly as he does code.
That is a thing of beauty. I am in awe of your modelling skills.
It doesn’t really matter what they used, I just pointed out that their incident report is BS.
I can blame virtually any production problem on network, but the ugly truth is - it is not networks fault in most of cases, but fault of engineers who developed the system with unreasonable assumptions.
It's a feedback loop. There's a reason why you'd hear Star Trek credited as the reason why many people would go on to become engineers. A reason why people in STEM like to read science fiction books.

Hell, the field of rocketry was itself started by dreamers. Tsiolkovsky and von Braun weren't inspired by ambitious things, they dreamed of ambitious things, and helped made them happen. Goddard reportedly credited Wells[0] as the initial source of inspiration; Tsiolkovsky was apparently moved by the works of Verne[1].

--

What we need, really, is more dreamers in positions of money and influence. People with enough money and political clout to move the needle. Because at this point, what's stopping us is no longer science, just the bank account, and some engineering work of the kind which gets solved when you throw money at it.

The latest report is that they sent out a body double in Khashoggi's clothes:

It seems like they expected to throw up enough distractions that their denials would hold at least among those who wanted to believe them. I think they failed to anticipate how closely Turkey was watching their consulate or that his fiancée would be waiting outside.
I changed the title from "Abandoned Tweet Counter Hijacked With Malicious Script" because the interesting thing to me was the attack vector being the recycling of the S3 bucket name. Of course the same thing could have happened with an abandoned domain name.
To the Republicans in power, tax cuts are always good in their own right but this secondary effect is also desirable.
>I'm yet to be convinced that visually arranging data across a projected third dimension except when you want to draw the user through (like in a game) adds much to the experience.

While not entirely convinced myself, I was persuaded to think that there might actually be some value in this after watching the various videos where people have built very large functional constructions in Minecraft. Watching the creators explain what they've done, and seeing how easy it is for them to navigate even tremendously complex and interlinked structures through reference to the relative positions of different pieces certainly makes it seem like there's something to it to me.
PyDev of the Week: Philip Guo
This rice looks strikingly similar to an Indian Rice called as, Matta Rice or Kerala Red Rice.
Yes, :s/conservative/wealthy-NIMBY/ there if need be. It was not at all in reference to the (supposed) political spectrum but the wealth spectrum, and also the "tradition" spectrum (conserving the current state of the neighborhood, rather than allowing for change).
Targeted ads have helped small businesses and indie brands thrive.

Previously, only large brands and national/multi-national corporations could afford to advertise at scale and reach customers through TV/Radio/Newspapers (that too with a high minimum spend).

Now your local mom and pop bakery could have a spend as low as $100 a month to reach their customers and help drive their business.

The world is not black and white, and neither is the morality of advertising.

I hope this perspective was useful to you.
In theory. In practice, this has lead to collapse of rural economies, rampant poverty, and epidemic drug usage amongst rural populations. As to driving food costs down, that's trivially disprovable. Loaf of bread in 1950: 12 cents. Adjusted for inflation that's $1.26 currently. A cheap loaf of white bread costs substantially more than $1.26.

Edit: of course this gets downvoted, because econ gibberish is certainly more valid than observed reality.

You always have both dreamers and posturing. We reached the moon both because Wernher von Braun dreamt about reaching moon and mars, and because first Hitler and later the USA saw rocketry as a useful tool for war and propaganda. Same thing happened on the Soviet side.

You tend to have dreamers pushing and implementing ideas, but it is much easier to get funding for more immediate goals
But the helper can be very thin and doesn't have to ship with massive locale data
At a previous company I worked for, we used self-hosted GitLab, and the performance seemed really great. I haven't ever really used their hosted offering, so I can't tell whether I just had a low bar of satisfaction or if hosted GitLab allocates significantly fewer resources to each tenant than what our single-tenant system had. I would guess it's the latter.

I've also heard increasingly good things about Gitea, which is written in Go instead of Ruby, so I would expect it to have better performance on a given amount of hardware.
I’m unsure if this is the sort of politics that’s the context of the article in question. For clarity, the article in question spawned off of an email thread regarding calling women by nicknames in a condescending manner without their consent.
I think external investigation will have the edge on self reporting sensor for quite a while, because bringing a xray/ultrasound machine place to place for a yearly inspection allow to split the machinery investment over a lot of structures.

> to avoid finding faults too late

even before fault discovery there's a lot of value in embedding sensors to tune simulators, so that the next generation product can improve in reliability, material costs or both while being cheaper to design.
I think it has always been like that, if you scroll to the bottom you can click on what environment you want to load. Been like that awhile I think.
>also the fault of the bigger brands not investing enough into the optimization of their listing, they don't depend on it.

I wouldn't call it their "fault", per se. Thought experiment:
If I'm a third party seller on Amazon, why should I / what do I gain by investing into the optimization of my listing if I do not depend on my Amazon listing for the majority of my revenue?

Edit. Agree with the rest of your post btw
The Secretive Business of Facial-Recognition Software in Retail Stores
Potentially relevant article that came to mind:

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-us-land-use/

The point about entire states being used for agriculture is interesting, and I guess whether you see this as utopic or dystopic really depends on the nature of the owner of the land. If the government owned the machines, land, and produce, and socialized the gains, this seems like a utopic solution, although obviously there is potential for abuse and bureaucrazy. On the other hand, if a corporation owned it, it would seem very bizarre and symbolic of income inequality.

I wonder if Marx was simply too early. Let the machines be the proletariat and let all of society be the bourgeoisie, and maybe communism can work in some industries.
> 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.

I've read it numerous times, thank you very much, paying close attention to the rhetorical structure and trying to understand the overall point he was trying to communicate.

Clearly, you and I are inclined to interpret his overall intent differently. It does not help your case to put words in his mouth that are patent contradictions of what he actually said.
I'm sold -- hadn't seen it before but I was able to run python and install a bunch of packages quickly without issue. I can see this being big.
For what it's worth, I found them by googling "online c# repl", so having repl in the name is pretty strong for people with my use case.
Intriguing. I like this idea...and I say that as someone who's spent quite a lot of time posting well-recieved answers.
I'm a little bit confused by your comment. Are you suggesting that an alternative to intrusive thoughts / OCD is erroneously find dog-whistles in the news?
The fake news phenomenon is something that worries me at a local level: friends and family. I'm constantly bombarded by forwarded messages from them that don't pass a simple cursory review and are 99% fake if you dig further.

I've tried to combat this by researching what's forwarded to me and pointing that out (including how I discovered it was false) but people either don't reply back or get hostile, assuming I'm one of the "others" (because these messages are usually trying to instill people to hate something). I have _never_ received a thank you from anyone for this and nobody ever apologized back, and I try to be extra polite when pointing these errors.

I've left various chat groups and feel my energy is depleted to continue on this fight. It amazes me that people default to a "believe in everything that comes from WhatsApp/FB/Instagram" mentality versus distrusting the Internet completely (which would be more sensible if coupled with a minimum amount of research on what's shared with you).
A lot of them use legitimate guest worker systems, and it benefits everyone to have access to these workers.
I am a long time user of repl.it and I think it's great but I do wonder what the expected ROI is here? Call me short sighted, but It's still just a repl. Perhaps it could be sold to GitHub to integrate with Gist?

Every company faces problems like this. GitLab infamously lost their entire production database [0] -- and I think we can agree that's more serious. Knee-jerk reactions to incidents will leave you without any "trusted" services, because mistakes happen to everybody at some point. BitBucket has certainly had its own fair share of downtime.

Yay!!! So much work on this release by so many people. It will be great now to see it out in the wild.
Based on what I read on their engineering blog they will eventually have a similar outage.
I wonder if eventually with some of the stuff like GC in place, you could write a javascript JIT on top of wasm. I'm only half kidding. It would be pretty neat if wasm became a kind of universal IR that different (AOT and JIT) compilers could target.
I don't think I've ever met or heard of a person who's into space travel who would embrace it as an exercise in escapism. To me, it seems that it's something only said by people who don't like space programs.
What you're saying makes sense, and I don't think anybody would disagree that having a diverse PoV on a project would be beneficial. In practice though, organizations saying that they strive for diversity normally don't bother to look any deeper than skin color and gender. That's one of the common criticisms of big tech companies; they claim to value diversity, but they still mainly hire people from a handful of top schools, creating a largely homogenous culture that share a similar PoV, but they say that they're diverse just because a lot of their employees have different skin colors.

As an example, I'm a white male without college experience, raised in a single parent, lower income household. Most people hiring for "diversity" would overlook me just because I'm a white male, but would welcome my wife's vietnamese friend, even though she comes from a wealthy background and went to a prominent school that makes her much less diverse culturally than their existing employees.
They're certainly Christian values, but they're not "conservative", at least not by the American definition. I'll point you to these tenets:

* Relieve the poor.
* Clothe the naked.
* Visit the sick.

... those seem like "liberal values" to me, at least on the American spectrum.
Awesome, I feel the same way.

Just today, we were told to use a specific filter on our backlog so we could plan out the sprint. It took a bit to find it, and they had apparently set up a new board on an existing project so they could track issues in multiple projects. We plan a single sprint multiple projects because our team handles multiple projects (small company).

Since adopting Jira, management kept changing how they wanted to use it (experimenting, can't blame them), and adjusting within Jira has been super painful. I ended up building a couple tools outside of Jira so I could get exactly the view I wanted.

I went through this same process when management kept trying to tweak Bugzilla to get what we wanted, and I even ended up building a simple issue management application. I'm getting that itch again, so I'm just trying to figure out what people hate so I can know what to highlight. I don't think it'll go anywhere, but who knows!
