Throwing X at Y and seeing what sticks is literally how life got from single-cell organisms to "The Apprentice".

We'll keep doing it that way, it's going to be fantastic.
I believe you are thinking about reaction wheels. Hubble has 4 of those but it also has 6 gyroscope sensors, which is what was in the news recently.

I just don't know how the specs and intended use cases of those Hubble gyros compare to these optical gyros, hence my question.
Because it’s also stated in the article that:

>> The Directive is extremely vague on what defines a "link" or a "news story" and implies that an "excerpt" consists of more than one single word from a news-story (many URLs contain more than a single word from the headline).

So it is based on the link and also the main point is to force news outlets to get more money for nothing more than a link which drives traffic to them anyways...

Okay maybe the most correct definition should be: “search engine link tax” from this specific excerpt but it is also left very vague. What’s is a search engine. Is github a search engine? Are links to news articles on GitHub issues the same fate as on google?

So then you go back and think of the potential “search engines” out there and it does start to feel more like a “link tax” because most things can be considered a search engine.

//OFFTOPIC: I mean is anything built with full text search a where clause not close to a search engine (in theory)? Lol
I agree that there are two more or less distinct skillsets here. Although as always, it more than possible for someone to be adept at both. In fact, all the places I've worked that were hiring front end devs were looking for people who had both of these skill sets. And indeed we are often hiring for Full-stack developer who have both of these skillsets + ability with backend lanaguages and frameworks.

Places I've worked have been relatively small though (30-150 employees including non-technical staff), and I can totally see that in larger organisations there would be roles which specialised in only one of these areas.
I've always thought something like this would be a better way to approach public discussions, and their implementation seems to be fairly decent so far. There doesn't seem to be a whole bunch of activity yet, and not really much free style discussion under the few points I browsed, do you happen to know a particularly busy topic one could look at?
You're going to be context switching at the point you make the pull request anyway.

And if you structure your day well, you can do the rest of the context switching at a point when it's not a burden anyway - such as making changes in response to code review first thing in the morning before returning to your other tickets.
The problem is with how to access other variables on the stack. Usually the compiler uses an offset from the stack pointer, which without VLA's is known at compile time. However, if you have VLA's, you might need a calculation at runtime to figure out where that variable is stored. Or maybe the offset from the frame pointer is known statically, but then you can't do the "omit frame pointer" optimization and you thus waste a register. Or if you have a variable that is between two VLA's, then you need a runtime calculation regardless.
> just families who had been duped into thinking they could afford something they couldn't.

Duped? You don't need to pour over financial models to know that spending 3/4 of your pay on a mortgage is going to cause problems. One thing I will say is that in the US, personal finance education is woefully inadequate. Just look at the number of people and the amount of balances that get carried on CCs. That alone is a sign how poorly people think about money.

The sad part is that a budget is not hard. It does require some self discipline, which is also sorely lacking.
Responsible for their own finances, or responsible for the crisis? The latter claim is what seems to have started this conversation, and the individual getting a loan had very limited insight into the general mechanisms that led to trouble, and it's not their responsibility to ensure that whoever they get the loan from (and whoever its sold to downstream, without their input) is capable of handling it if many of the people they gave loans to default.

San Francisco Tech Billionaires Go to War Over Homelessness
This is just not true at all. (I'm a Debian package maintainer; I paid close attention to both the vote itself and the discussion around it.)

Debian uses ranked preference voting. Of the nine committee members, only one ranked sysvinit above either systemd or upstart. The rest were split about which of the two, with systemd winning the tie-break vote, but both were acceptable choices to all eight. There was no tie about whether systemd would have been an acceptable choice; both systemd and upstart were accepted 8-to-1.

The one member who voted in favor of sysvinit resigned after trying to start a general resolution (a vote of the entire project) to overrule the committee, and being told by basically everyone that this was inappropriate. He did not resign over systemd; he resigned, at best, over the process, and really I'd say he resigned because the project had lost confidence in him as someone able to act reasonably in contentious technical situations, which is basically the job of a technical committee member.

Nobody on the technical committee had refused to implement systemd support. The technical committee is not an implementation body anyway, but none of the members have refused to, say, implement systemd support in their packages, and they all remain members of the project.

All of this is public record, e.g.: https://lwn.net/Articles/585504/

(Also, none of what you said is a counterargument to the post you replied to.)
The profile had been discovered before they removed the contents. A few people / journos downloaded the contents. So no, they couldn't have covered this up.

Honestly, I gave up on twitter. Changed my password to something random and long and locked myself out.

At this point I have 0 faith that Twitter can or wants to clean up the mess they’ve made. It’s been obvious for years that Twitter is trending in a dark way, yet it seems like corporate likes to pretend that they’re back in the happy early days.
If the government can censor free speech for the "public order" or for "morals", it isn't free speech. Those are the exact justifications tyrants have used for thousands of years to justify repression. Often they were even true: expressing yourself against a repressive or discriminatory regime can certainly be disruptive to the public order. It sounds like the ICCPR is meaningless fluff.
I wonder if you're being obtuse, but I'll try to explain anyway (I'm not parent commenter, but let's see if I can capture why they think this statement is spin.)

Gab claim they're being smeared for "defending free expression and individual liberty" AND "working with law enforcement".

People and organisations attempting to shut Gab down, and/or be critical of them, are assuredly not doing so because Gab are working with law enforcement.

That renders Gab's claim spin, as per parent commenter.
> market and property asset bubble many markets and sectors are in right now. And this bubble has reasonable odds of creating another serious debt problem. Time will tell.

Trillion dollar companies have me concerned this will ruin 401ks of our parents/grandparents.

Historically Politics will cause economic issues to be postponed on future generations/elections. These interest rates and growing debt are candy, and we will soon be having a stomech ache. The USD is sick.

My interest in Bitcoin is due to my mistrust of the leaders in political and economic sectors.
Certainly it’s no worse than this century’s news system, which produces, as far as I can tell, journalists that do exactly the same thing.

Find a source you know (through research and watching over time) you can trust and read them, whether they publish in Reddit or USAToday. That’s something you can do today that wasn’t really possible before.
"free speech" or "freedom of expression" was never without limits.

The version of Article 19 in the ICCPR amends the "freedom of expression" by stating that the exercise of these rights carries "special duties and responsibilities" and may "therefore be subject to certain restrictions" when necessary "[f]or respect of the rights or reputation of others" or "[f]or the protection of national security or of public order (order public), or of public health or morals".

> The only way they might not have is if they were not very smart.

There is another option. They may have been very smart and operating in the environment they saw around them. This is basically what the big flippers were doing. It's a dangerous game though because when the music stops you do not want to be the one without a chair.
If you think it’s only a tweet, you’re naive. It’s the discussion and mainly it’s also links to the content. Just because it’s 140ish characters doesn’t mean it takes an instant to read and move on.
That's a very interesting question. When I feel sad I try to make myself go eat a piece of fruit and drink some water.

I have noticed my mood is tightly tied to my diet and living conditions.
I think you overestimate the coherence of your arguments. Do you respect the law? Do you agree that people that sign any contract that binds them for majority of their lives should do their due diligence and actually check what they sign or at least give it a serious thought?

Nobody here is vouching for the banks here, they share their huge part in what happened, but your views are simplistic and a bit paranoid to be honest - 'banks pushing their myths on HN crowd' - the situation has been analysed ad nauseum and its pretty clear what led to the crysis. Nobody needs to push anything, not that banks would be magically able to do it anyway

ripgrep author here.

It really depends on what you're searching. In some types of searches, GNU grep can get very very slow. The page you were linked to includes some benchmarks for that. In particular, cases where you're searching large amounts of non-ASCII (but UTF-8) text. There are some benchmarks for that case here: https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/ specifically: https://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/#subtitles-no-literal

Also, it's probably not about "feature parity" per se, but standardization. In terms of feature parity, there is very little that grep can do that, say, ripgrep cannot. But there is quite a bit that ripgrep can do that grep cannot do, mostly by design.

"replacing" grep with ripgrep has at least a dual meaning, and it is the source of unending miscommunication. In the one sense, I know plenty of people that have replaced grep with ripgrep (or whatever) in daily usage. This is a perfectly valid thing to do. In another sense, nobody is going to replace grep with ripgrep in a distribution because they almost certainly do not want to stop being POSIX compatible. That is, asking to "just replace" grep with ripgrep is equivalent to asking distributors to stop being POSIX compatible in exchange for some other feature that ripgrep provides. That question is a non-starter, but a lot of people either don't realize that or are confusing what it means to "replace" something.
There's a defacto code here (UK), yellow is labour, blue is trades. white is engineers, grey is visitors. green is safety (H&S/medical), pink is the noob who forgot his hardhat.
For us, a failing unit test is almost always a bug. Lots of people write terrible unit tests. Too much mocking, asserting methods called, etc. Brittle. Test the edge of your public interface. Supporting methods only need specific unit tests if they are sufficiently complex. If your unit's interface changes or it's behavior changes, it should fail. That is a good thing.
As others already have mentioned, there are actual bookmarks in Twitter, that is not the "like" button (click the share button in the Android app, for example)
I fully agree that the skill sets and demands of different roles sometimes all get labelled with the same title. But that is true of any developer role. Titles are not standardized to skill sets, and trying to do so for one type of developer while the rest of the industry is still varied makes little sense to me. Yes, you will look at job postings that aren't really what you do. So keep looking, just like the rest of us web devs do when an SW Engineer title ends up being an embedded C role on robotics, and not app development.

If you are struggling to find work, then expanding your skill set is the answer, not restricting the meaning of a specific title down to your comfort zone.

While I agree with you that decisions of this nature are made top-down, the value in RedHat is its employees (as RedHat sells support for Open Source software). If a mass exodus occurs because of this acquisition, RedHat will no longer be providing value to the shareholders and will become a long running debt with no future in the black on IBM's books. It is quite possible that IBM will fail at properly handling RedHat after the acquisition due to entrenched business culture that is incapable of grasping the cultural change required to support a business model such as the one that RedHat employs. Business often appears as a bedfellow with economics with regards to ignoring the "human factor".
Are you offering the ICCPR as an example of what free speech should mean?

It has been signed by Thailand, where insulting the king is illegal; Pakistan, where blasphemy is illegal; and Israel, where boycotting the state is illegal.

The ICCPR's definition of "freedom of speech" allows almost any restriction the government desires.

I don't see why the developer that builds the interaction with the backend can't be given directly the design and turn it into HTML and CSS himself.

I wouldn't expect the developer to be able to come up with a good web design with the right choice of colors, spacing, etc. but I would expect that given a design he can both turn into HTML and CSS and split it into components.

That is how we organized in several teams I've worked, and there was never any issue.

I have seen however developers who do frontend work who know hardly any CSS and are even proud of it, and that is just not productive.

I used to work in an architecture team and sometimes I would get support requests from development teams because someone couldn't move a button 30px to the right, literally.

I think if someone is a frontend developer, they should be able to write their own HTML and CSS, besides knowing Javascript and a framework like React, Angular or Vue.

This might had been a cultural thing between me and the other party. I don't mind being very to the point and strict about programming but when it comes off as condescending and "I know better than you" it's just something I can't stand. Or maybe a better example, they make pesky remarks on your programming style while ignoring all your writing about theirs. I think because the other person here was a bit older than me, not a senior dev but still old enough apparently, that he felt he had to prove something to the younger guy.

But yeah I'm going off the rails here. My point is that relationships are hard and even in seemingly neutral setting, a code review, tensions can arise. I do not know what to say on those occasions but getting snarkier and snarkier in comments is definitely not the way to go. Bad code reviews have been one of the most infuriating things I've come across my developer career.
Author claims a frame up. Now that is something I've seen at MIT. The Institute has unique means to crash and burn people's reputations so most people fold.
It mentions "they have to signup with their work email", so there's some notion of the page data being private.

Also, is the first email from domain X to sign up the default admin for that domain? How do you resolve disputes?

"Like" was ruined when Twitter made it republish tweets, making it practically identical to retweet. It had been useful to mark posts for later review. Without it at all, there will be no way to "save" a tweet.
As a full stack engineer, I'm expected to know all of frontend, all of backend, and some level of devops. but I am not paid twice, or even close to twice.

I'm not complaining, just pointing that scope of frontend is still relatively small as compared to other roles.
Last week we had some fun building a lightweight (mostly to see how chrome extensions work) tool to let companies send company announcements in all their coworkers' new tab.

If this sounds a little odd, here's how it works:

1. Install the Chrome extension [0], open a new tab and you'll see sample content. Hit the signup button and create a new account.

2. Now that you have an account, configure your company's page and invite your coworkers (they have to signup with their work email).

3. You're ready to create and publish announcements from the admin area. Everyone in your company will see them when opening a new tab.

[0] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sametab/glmeidaaam...
Homepage. You've re-invented the homepage.

I've worked in companies where the default homepage was the announcements feed on the Intranet. Didn't make people actually read them though!
Patton Oswalt did a series of tweets that were designed to be taken out of context - they made a clever point about that. Of course, that didn't stop him from continuing to use Twitter prolifically, so perhaps he missed his own point, or at least yours.
The easiest way to get into open source is to start your own projects.

Alternatively, you can find a project with a single maintainer and few or no third party patches & fix a serious issue (or add a useful feature). If your patch is accepted, then you've made a social connection with another developer (and maybe even a friend); if your patch isn't accepted, you can maintain your own fork & somebody might contribute to yours.

Contributing to someone else's project (particularly, large and complex projects) involves integrating into existing social structures, which often is difficult and underdocumented (particularly when the primary goal of the project is to just get the development work done -- such projects often don't go out of their way to make it easy for newbies to contribute, since newbie contributions are liable to be of lower quality). Some projects make a real effort, but that's unusual. Even then, large projects (because they have communities) are full of complex politics that are borderline incomprehensible from outside, and navigating these politics takes a lot of time that could otherwise be used for meaningful contributions to smaller projects.

One of those tweets satirically calls for "open borders for Israel".

What's wrong with pointing out that Israel is an ethnostate with tightly controlled immigration? It's a useful example for those advocating tighter immigration controls in the US.

Satire isn't trolling. I don't know the context in which Gab made that tweet but I've seen "open borders for Israel" in other contexts, where it was used to advocate adopting policies more like Israel's, not merely to sow division.
The article argues that Red Hat's business model was selling a "slightly better version of Linux".

Slight tangent, strawpoll on what everybody prefers for their Antivirus these days. Corporate and personal. I've been using ESET for years and anecdotally never had any issue.
early American history strikes me as being punctuated by periods where individual liberty was the highest value. The frontier/westward expansion, for example. The constitution itself seems hinged on optimising for personal liberty by balancing "freedom to" and "freedom from" liberties.

I always thought of personal liberty as the value from which other values derive. For example, the law exists to protect our rights (the right to life and the right to property being the most obvious examples) from bad actors. Social welfare and socialised healthcare restrict the damage that personal catastrophe and random chance can do to our freedoms.
The article touts the business model as the underlying failure of Open Source. However I think this is missing the forest for the trees. If you add up all the value that Open Source delivered by giving millions, yes, let's go for millions, of developers access to high quality tools that previously were only available as expensive, proprietary products then clearly the model has been a runaway success. The only lament would appear to be that the value was not captured by a single corporation.

I think the pendulum is now swinging back to the pre-PC days of large corporations, centralized control of technologies where only groups with large resources can participate. However that will only be a temporary phase until the next generation of mammals are able to come up with the tools to create competition once more and the whole cycle will repeat.
