there are many tools for running automated tests, usually known as CI (Continuous Integration) usually based around some concept of a 'build pipeline', which might start with checking code out of version control, have running the tests as one of the steps, and if they pass then do the next step
i've read his stuff for years. He puts his best articles in the weekly update, which is free.

It generates the most views and clicks. His other 3 articles per week is...not bad but certainly not as good and meaty as weekly updates.

Paying for it is on some livel similar to patreon sub.
That's kinda what I want it to be. Topic focused or such.

It's just finding those folks is hard.

I don't post personal stuff, I'm also not really intrested in that.
And we actually do:

„Though the IPK, the current primary artefact, and its replicas are stored in carefully controlled laboratory conditions, their masses have been subject to fluctuation as a result of poorly understood factors, possibly including handling, cleaning and contamination. The IPK has diverged from its replicas by 50 μg since their manufacture late in the 19th century.“

Correct. It's a significant finding. I'm annoyed at the breathless explanations of our current superconductor situation as a lead in followed by this revelation that this new superconductor isn't really useful as a high-temperature superconductor at all.

I.e. I'm annoyed by the writing not unimpressed with the science :-)
I agree, there is more C code used in everyday life than anything else. But, regarding job offers, there's a bias, because this code tends to be very stable. The code in your microwave was written 10 years ago, and didn't change since then. OTOH, even a rather stable webapp like HN changed a lot in the meantime. Maybe the guy who worked on your microwave's code moved on to several other projects, and produced code for dozens of objects in your office, while the guy working on your company's website has been working fulltime on it since its creation.

Web stuff is maintenance heavy, so even a small webapp requires a lot of human work to keep working in the long run. Add this to the fact that, although most companies, even small ones, need a website that is more than a static single webpage, and/or a way to manage their customer / provider databases, there are rather few companies producing electronic appliances, and unless you live in the right place, most programming jobs you'll find are in high-level stuff.

I've seen an industrial switch running Node. Whenever it was collecting stats, the switching fabric was locking up.
Varg is a murderer—he does claim self-defense, and that his victim, also an obsessive black metal creator, meant to murder HIM—and an arsonist, and politically outrageous. He meant and means every bit of it, and would earnestly explain to you that (for instance) the arson is church burnings, and that the Christian Church has executed a pogrom of his ancient Viking culture, using the most ruthless methods.

As he's talking about things like the Inquisition and the obliteration of pagan cultures, he's not wrong about some of his history.

It's a pretty unusual pagan who gets as murderous as Varg about historical injustices, though.
The alternative is simple: decentralize the Internet, regulate Google for abuse of dominant position. Its size and power makes it completely unavoidable now and force users to work for them. One cannot have basic access to Internet websites and services without providing Google with personal data or work for them. If Google wasn't so big and did not collect/treat such a huge amount of personal data, we would a choice between multiple providers.

To read some articles, I am required to help Google improve its self driving company (Waymo "identify cars in the picturs", its OCR algo (Google Books, "write the two words"), its Maps service ("find house numbers" on Street View), etc. This free work makes Google increasingly competitive vs the alternatives, so Google can continue offering "free" services (like Recaptcha) and further compel users to work for them. You simply don't have a choice.

I bought one of those stainless steel ear cleaning tools from AliExpress a few years ago (<$1), and I have to admit that it works amazing. It requires some practice but it's so much more hygienic and effective than our Western tradition of stuffing everything back in with q-tips.
> wow, they sure wasted trillions of hours and dollars […]

Well, not money, because the money spent just ends up in someone else's pocket. It doesn't disappear or get consumed in the process. What we are wasting is potential value for society as a whole (the hours you rightly mention).
Actually, usually the creator of the application showing the ads does in fact sign a contract with the ad publisher. They get money in exchange for clicks; if they are obtaining those clicks through subterfuge or dark patterns, they stand at a minimum to not receive their ad revenue, and if it is egregious and done with intent, then there's no reason that it wouldn't be considered fraud.

Measuring and enforcing click fraud is probably the single biggest technical challenge involved in being an ad publisher.

It'd be pointless. After a week or two, the review scams would figure out what signals Fakespot etc. use and adjust their behavior to evade.

They don't bother now because there's no significant userbase for these tools. That'd change quickly if Amazon built it into their system.

Ask HN: Resources for the “engineering” aspects of software engineering
What are some good resources for learning the aspects of software design, development, and other elements?

I'd like to learn more about everything that's outside of just typing code. Things like design principles, project management, architecture, communication, and even things like creative processes and ethics. I feel like my education was really lacking in these areas and I think it's important to be more than just someone typing at a keyboard.
Hopefully you've kept that device off the internet. Tyler paid for version I have was updated to gimp the game, so not only do you have beat the previous level you also need a certain amount of coins that do not transfer between levels. You can of course buy them. I tried playing after discovering how terrible Angry Birds 2 was. There away are still unlimited lives and as far as I can tell the other older spin off games haven't had their mechanics changed.
I like this, but as mentioned, it's a shame that it starts of with a MySQL specific command, SHOW tables
Somebody actually ran on this ticket a few years back and lost - their campaign signs said something along the lines of "RED LIGHT CAMERAS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL". The revenue question is more a matter of ideology. You could always tell them that before the sixteenth amendment the only revenue our government needed came from excise taxes and tariffs... it's not like there's no precedent for funding a country without red-light cameras, or income tax for that matter.

Well I was hoping for something stronger than your personal anecdotes to back this assertion up.

Of particular note; LuaJIT can pretty much directly call C libraries. From here:

* http://luajit.org/ext_ffi.html

local ffi = require("ffi")
ffi.cdef[[
int printf(const char *fmt, ...);
]]
ffi.C.printf("Hello %s!", "world")

So while, say, Python is "batteries included", LuaJIT is "all the batteries".

Using C libraries in regular Lua is fairly easy as well, but LuaJIT is exceptional.
Many designs, especially ASICs have components ("IP") written in Verilog and VHDL. The commercial tools all support both languages. This is a big reason Free tools have not caught on

For the JSlinux one, from the wayback machine:

>In the technical notes, an archive is given which explains how to build the various binary images.

For tinyemu, my understanding is most of the code is in x86_machine.c , the actual cpu stuff is provided by kvm, the readme states:

>5) x86 emulator A small x86 emulator is included. It is not really an emulator because it uses the Linux KVM API to run the x86 code at near native performance.

> The x86 emulator uses the same set of VirtIO devices as the RISCV emulator and is able to run many operating systems.

>The x86 emulator accepts a Linux kernel image (bzImage). No BIOS image
is necessary.

> The x86 emulator comes from my JS/Linux project (2011) which was one
of the first emulator running Linux fully implemented in
Javascript. It is provided to allow easy access to the x86 images

The Troubles with iOS Symbolication (2017)
There's a difference between being curious about Super Bowl ads (which cost millions to air and are vetted) and the garbage that are internet ads where anyone with a (potentially stolen) credit card can publish anything they want with no oversight.

The former can be considered a form of art; the latter is just cancer.
If you don't like software with these new style licenses, then don't use software with these new style licenses. Explain what it is that apparently so deeply violates your right to exist, but puritanical screaming and finger-pointing black & white contrasts never really convinces people of anything. All these rants are lame.

The best comment I've heard so far w.r.t. CC is how it complicates acquisition of software by businesses. That's a hugely legit complaint -- but the same complaint applied to the GPL not more than 2 decades ago. Companies adjusted before, assuming value exists in this new breed of license, they'll adjust again.

Meanwhile as a free software author, I'm very happy to see smaller companies experimenting with methods to protect their work in whatever way they see fit. Hopefully something "socially acceptable" comes from all this that might be useful to me at some stage in future.

Finally it's worth remembering that there is a HUGE degree of freedom to explore between closed source, pay-only software and free software as we have it today. I have yet to see a recent example of a license that removes what for me is the greatest benefit of all: the ability to fix and debug things without opening a ticket. Fundamentalist shouting matches erupting every time someone tries something new reminds me of another modern debate - religion, and like there, the loudest and most annoying rarely have meaningful new information to share

----

There is another angle that seems very interesting. Industry consolidation and typical policy within large companies towards employees working on free software ("you can't unless it's approved & we own copyright") means 'the movement' that existed in the 90s is all but dead and gone. Any big real development that happens in the open typically happens because some employer is explicitly paying an employee to advance their agenda through technical means (see e.g. Kubernetes).

To me, a new license that not only incentivized but made practical and sustainable large software projects independent of those large consolidated employers is far more valuable than not having to toss a few dimes in the pot if that software is used in some circumstances where profit is made.
I believe I'm in the minority when I say this.

Ultimately, if I choose to, I will license my project however I want. If I want to restrict others from selling my product I will do so.

Calling it Apache 2.0 + Common Clause makes sense, it's an extremely well known license and it's easier to start there and then say "but with some restrictions". That said, I do see the issue that people may use this software and not understand that the restrictions are there (but they clearly didn't look at the license) so changing the name is a reasonable ask.

This article definitely reads as overdramatic, as do the repeated comments on the subject.

That's a little better, yes. But what would be really nice is a way to see the parent of the split inline, without having to follow a link at all.

In effect, the problem is that quoting and threading solve the same problem: giving the reader context. The original author's post relied entirely on threading, which you broke by splitting off the discussion. I think that adding a quote to the split post would restore context.

There is some risk that by selectively quoting, you are becoming an editor rather than just a moderator. The part that is relevant for this particular split is obvious, but that won't always be true, so there should be some mechanism to show that you as a moderator accept responsibility for any misquoting. You could indicate the quote with italics and some very brief text explaining that you as a moderator put the quote in there. Or you could set it off with a thin orangered boarder, perhaps.

I ate street food, while sitting on rickety plastic chairs on small metal tables, covered in noise and moped fumes in Penang, Bangkok and Ha Noi among other places.

I ate a lot of it and never, ever got sick.

Here's my golden rule from which I never deviate:

Make sure that you see how they cook the food on premises
It needs to be well visited, preferably by locals

As I said I never got sick (or even felt slight discomfort) and I had a number of memorable meals under such conditions.

Would a western health inspector tolerate the setup? Hell; no!

But, so what?

Sure, you can stick to the hotel restaurant of The Intercontinental in Bangkok, but you'll be hardly any safer than eating on a wobbly table in some small soi in the area.

But man, will you be missing out...

You and me both. At least HN is educational. That's what I keep telling myself, at least.
Consider the bloodthirsty game of chess, despite its terrible special effects (lack of bloodbath)...

The special effects in a FPS might provide maybe 1% of the total entertainment of a game.

Another interesting analogy is PG or TV-scene edited violent movies. Despite "Fight Club" G rated TV mix only being about 45 minutes long its still interesting and entertaining without the GorePorn.

Speaking of pr0n, romance/drama movies aimed at women are essentially two hours of pr0n foreplay with the X-rated visuals removed, yet are generally pretty good sellers to the mass market.

To some extent the only reason we have ridiculous over the top gore in FPS (and horror movies) is we have recently gained the computer tech to do it, so we must do it to extremes, and there's people trying to stuff their resumes with ever higher numbers of buckets of blood. Once that market weirdness is past, the GorePorn will decline a bit in popularity.

As an example Fortnite is new and somewhat popular yet about as gory and bloodthirsty as playing laser tag. Its not exactly Killing Floor or even Half Life which peaked at perhaps 100x less popular.
We do use resonant frequency of certain atoms to define units, but it is not arbitrary, rather it was a transition chosen for it's extremely small width and ease of measurement. It is quite a bit less arbitrary than using the size of our planet or of an artifact we have made.

And we are getting even better, with definitions based on fundamental constants now, independent of a particular measurement experiment. This is as non-arbitrary as it can get (we will continue using a conversion factor to make the unit human scaled, but that is all).

I wonder what other factors can contribute to the matter. Korean guy here. I swear that a decade ago, I would not get significantly stinky as I got sweaty. These days, I am totally stinky after a basketball game. My feet are so stinky after a day in shoes. My armpits are crazy stinky after a day of work, they totally were not this stinky a few years ago.

Yes, I do not have conclusive data on the matter. It's all anecdotal and non-scientific. But I swear it's true. I swear it.
The true madness of a viral wing pricing scheme
Ok so erm... we all know what to expect when an amazon article hits HN.

Amazon has devolved. Counterfeits. Fake reviews. Crap quality....

IDK if this is true. That is, IDK if amazon's meaningfully worse than traditional big department stores or the brick-and-mortar sector generally.

But, say it's true. Amazon has jumped the shark. This is HN. This isn't the place for customer complaints. It's the place to hatch plans to kill amazon.

What's the bridgehead (à la pg) to a full-scale invasion of amazon territory? Reviews? Some product subset? Discovery? How would you build the company that replaces amazon?
At the end of the day, open source projects need developers... and developers need to eat.

These license changes have been forced by the business reality of larger cloud companies capturing all the value created by open source communities and leaving OSS developers to starve.

Apologies for beating this drum but I find it important.

Verify with the charitable organization that they registered to receive funds from Amazon!

Amazon's list of charities comes from GuideStar USA which compiled the information from the IRS, and includes organizations which may not have registered with Amazon and thus may never receive the donations. See the section "Charitable Organizations that Do Not Register" here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/chpf/pd/ref=smi_se_saas_lpd_spd

Last I checked, there is no clear indication to consumers that a listed charity has actually registered.

The best way to verify this on your own appears to be to pretend you want to register that organization on Amazon's Org Central site[0] which will show if it's already registered. (An example search for Child's Play[1].)

As a shopper Amazon does not make this abundantly clear when you're selecting an organization. One thing to look for is the amount of information shown about the organization, specifically the incorporation year, as those that register have to fill out a profile.

According to the FAQ if a shopper selects an organization that is not registered and makes an eligible purchase they will track the donation. If the organization registers they'll get the donation, but if they have not after 2 years then Amazon will contact the shopper and give them 30 days to select a new charity. (I'm not sure if this then resets the 2 year clock or not.) If the shopper does not select a new organization then Amazon reallocates the donation across the registered organizations.

In any case the only way to be 100% sure is to inquire with the organization.

We have a much better record of cleaning up the environment than we do have in human culling.

Compare the US of today with that of 50 - 100 years ago. The tree cover is almost back to pre-contact levels, lakes & rivers are potable, smog doesn't kill 10's of thousands of people per year, et cetera.

IOW, local environmental problems have been solved. And we know how to solve them elsewhere in the world: economic growth. Once people have their basic needs secure, they start caring about this stuff. Internalize the externalities and let the market sort it out.

The challenge is global problems; climate change is a fairly classic tragedy of the commons. The solution here is similar: internalize the externalities and let the market sort it out. A global carbon tax, for example.

We used to be able to do this stuff. We banned CFC's world-wide, for example.

Our track record in culling is much worse. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot only managed to kill about 1% of the population, and the instability they created actually increased birth rates. Mao had an impact with the one child policy, but...
