9 Advantages of an Online Booking System with Trade Terminal
Whether you like something or not has nothing to do with whether it is courageous or not.
Interesting, the list of attributes of a third place sums up the techno scene in my city almost exactly, except I'd say that conversation isn't necessarily the main activity.

The scene is small enough that you always run into the same people every time you're out.
Ask HN: What is something you built/fixed/repaired yourself and saved money?
I think that programmers would generally be willing to overcome the inconvenience of the unusual notation, if the advantage of using defmacro was obvious from good examples to which they could, at least, relate. This question was also asked on stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/267862/what-makes-lisp-m.... My opinion is that the examples in the answers are neither obvious nor compelling. Hence, I am still waiting for better examples.
Yes the usecase was for a readonly connection.
The problem was that too few people contributed. A contribution to an open source project doesn't have to be a pull request. Glancing over the code you're pulling down rather than assuming the maintainer is infallible counts just fine. Very, very few people do that in the JS ecosystem though.

When a package gets 2m downloads a day and it still takes 2 and a half months to find a problem, a huge number of developers have failed to do their part.
i’d say that is what you call an indefensible business. you pays your money and you takes your chances.

I don't disagree with you, I'd just question why that particular kind of courageousness is relevant to the discussion.
Many states in the U.S. require car or booster seats to be placed in the rear seat, as well as seating any child 8 years or under in the back seat. Even where it might not be required, it's considered irresponsible to do otherwise and there's a lot of cultural pressure to conform.
Can't we all jsut keep using "bash" :) I never want to work with Ansible again ! Having to edit yaml files and learn Ansible concepts and language... Bash is still very understandable and the common denominator on linux ?

You need to plug your wifi in somewhere, which means it needs a cable. Many people have multiple wifi devices, which means multiple cables.

And while wifi is pretty good now, people still hit issues and plug in their various TV devices and game consoles.
Ha! So, so many definitions of good. But, at a basic level, you can boil it down to:

* Does my code work?

* Does my code look after itself and its user when things don't go according to plan?

* Is my code simple?

* Can my code be maintained?

There are very serious sub-plots involving (ie) what does "work" mean? are simple and maintainable the same thing? But if you hit the four points above and don't fart in the office, you're good to go.

>Wireless headphones are at a fundamental disadvantage in that they have less battery capacity than a phone.

I’ve been using a pair of beats for over a year now, and have never run out of batteries with them, even on multi-leg long haul flights. I use them constantly, and almost exclusively charge them when I have to go to a meeting, which doesn’t usually happen more than once a day. I used AirPods before then and their battery life was even better.

Data for training such models for practical use are difficult to get. Often, one has to train a model on a different but related dataset that contains your object of interest and ensure that your model generalizes well. These models are highly sensitive to the data that they are trained on, so it is best if you can gather data which is closer to the actual environment (in which you want to use the model).
We need to take into account _Accessibility_. A large use case that I've found most people seems to miss are individuals who are older and don't have much experience with bluetooth or wireless technology. I'm fine with Apple removing the headphone jack, but they've alienated so many people to find their own path when they don't include the adapter.

Anecdotal example: I recently purchased headphones for my 65-year old father and showed him how to use it, in preparation for his "headphone jack-less" future. After about a month (he lives in China, so I see him only a couple times a year), I asked him how it's going and he said he doesn't use them anymore because he just couldn't figure it out. I tried to explain "Turn on Bluetooth on your phone, then turn on your headphones, then hold down the button to pair, etc", but it was actually quite complicated because once he did this dance, 2 months later his phone restarted and bluetooth was off and we had to do it again. Software-wise, I can just send a link, but when it comes to hardware + software like printers, things become really challenging to explain.

I bring this up because if we're moving to the "wireless" world, we need to really consider accessibility for the elderly. My father ended up throwing away these really expensive Beats headphones, went to his local market and bought some cheap Sony headphones and is now listening fine. I'm not really sure what's going on happen when his next phone doesn't have the headphone jack.
thank you for the dose of reality.

The c5, m5, t3, c5d, m5d, z1d, r5, r5d, m5a, r5a, a1, c5n, p3dn instance families all use the Nitro Hypervisor, which is based on Linux KVM code but offloading a lot of functionality to the Nitro System instead of using the normative QEMU setup.

Firecracker runs as a process in a customer-provided Linux 4.14 or newer kernel using the upstream KVM apis, that can be on an EC2 Metal Instance or on your own hardware.
My point is that there isn't some different kind of courage that separates this from everyday notions of "courage".

Many people mock the idea that removing the headphone jack required any courage.
Glad it worked out for you. They could have just sold you the product the way they used to though: I would have bought airpods after trying them out since I trust apple, not because I was forced to abandon my perfectly good wired headphones after breaking or losing all my adaptors, and all the collateral damage with that.
Very good points, thanks! We will be exposing a lot more configurability and extensibility in Sourcegraph in the next release (3.0-preview, and 3.0 more generally). I will add Kythe support to our roadmap and will think about how we can offer a strict mode soon. (We will need to offer that when Sourcegraph supports "write" functionality like automated refactoring, but it would be great to have it sooner.)
I really wish it was a comparable product. My SO had absolutely terrible support experiences with them and I don’t want to buy a phone with preloaded NFL or 3 email apps again
Loneliness is usually presented as a matching or communication problem: if only all the lonely people could find each other, and had the social skills to initiate contact, all would be well.

But what if it’s deeper than that? Could we be losing the life/personality traits that make people interested in us? Overstimulated by other sources so that friendships with ordinary people are not interesting uses of time?

For example, just because you yourself are overweight, does not mean you will be attracted to other overweight people. So we should expect a decline in sexual relationships as the prevalence of obesity rises.

As of 2017, 90% of mortgages in the U.S. were 30-year fixed. 6% were 15-year fixed. Only 2% were ARMs.

http://www.freddiemac.com/perspectives/sean_becketti/2017041...

People got burned bad by ARMs in the housing crash of 2009 and they still aren't willing to take the risk.
Presumably they're talking about a transit-oriented housing subdivision with hundreds of houses all centered around a train station. With that sort of arrangement, you'd have economies of scale on the utility hookups.

But other problems remain, like getting the train service.
Fact vs. Fiction: Truths from Inside the Shaolin Temple
You know, I wrote a number of successful open source packages. By and large, feedback is positive, or at least utilitarian: bug reports, feature requests, questions. But there is also the occasional angry user, or, rarely, a simple thank you.

Recently, I published my first-ever commercial video game plugin. And was dumbfounded by the sheer positivity of the response. People thanked me! I got dozens of purely positive emails. I had never experienced such a thing in my Open Source work.

If we had more of that in Open Source, maybe maintainership wouldn't be such a burden.
What makes Lisp macros so special?
This question, about Lisp's macros, has been asked over and over again:

-- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/267862/what-makes-lisp-macros-so-special

-- https://www.quora.com/What-is-so-special-about-Lisps-macros

-- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9508108

-- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2839742

-- http://kresimirbojcic.com/2011/08/02/whats-so-special-about-lisp.html

The value of switching to lisp (or a variant of lisp) must come from the availability of macros. By looking at examples of lisp macros, I find their usefulness certainly not obvious nor necessarily compelling. It is examples of how to benefit from using a language's facility, that make programmers switch.

Paul Graham can keep touting Lisp macros for as long as he wants, without obvious examples, programmers will keep dismissing the switch as being not worth the switching cost.
The hate largely stems from the way it was rolled out - the linux community at large was left feeling like it had been told it would adopt this, and there was no choice, and that rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way.

It's also not 'the unix way' to have tightly bound, large blobs, and the team behind it seemed to take pains to say that lots of other things would rely on it, like udev, so there really was no choice.

So the hate comes from the idealogical side, largely.

Personally, having worked with it, I've rather liked writing service files and timers to get stuff done, it's much quicker to get something up and running than the old system.

Isn't paying for popularity the basis of advertising?
So much this. I've gotten so tired of seeing the same story again and again: Someone sees something that's done by multiple pieces of code and goes "I´m gonna write a framework for that!". Two months later you've got an unmaintainable behemoth of a god class that does everything under the sun and drives everyone insane who has to look at it (a Cthulhu class, if you will).

So, yes, I got to the same conclusion. Basically, solve every part of the problem:

- in isolation/as focused as possible

- as a library

- with the easiest to use and most composable API you can come up with

After that, if you have to, you can still glue them together into a framework-like thing. But at least, anyone can pick any feature out of it without succumbing to madness. Also, this is a great way to avoid the whole "Big Ball of Mud" problem that forces you to pull a whole ecosystem into your project although all you wanted to do was log something.

Hah, I should have realized that there weren't enough bits for Float64. I also realized that the little `+` and `-` signs on the integer representations have the effect of next/previous float values. Showing eps(x) would still be handy.

Even if gas were $6/gal, at the typical American 12k miles/year, that's still less than $300/year extra to run the CUV over the sedan. That's less than the cost of a rental for a weekend trip.
The Flex 9 – an 18-foot flexible RC plane made of 9 smaller planes
Valley real estate is insane. The houses are old, tiny and probably full of health hazards(lead, asbestos). The infrastructure is crap. The whole area is earthquake prone. You'd think the smart folks in the area would stay out of the market...but after looking at rentals over the last month I'm starting to understand why people still buy. I think it's stupid...but I understand their perspective.
administration differences, not being designed according to UNIX principles and personal dislike towards developer(s) is coming to my mind.

administration differences is the most direct effect of systemd, but after learning its various compatibility layers and watchdog functions, it can be tamed to a great helper.

not being designed according to UNIX principles (composition of single-role small applications, which are doing their jobs very very well) is also bothering me, but we need to be pragmatic here. inter-process-communication cannot replace in-memory-communication in all cases it seems.

The hate towards the developer(s) is stemming from his attitude, history (he's also developer of pulseaudio IIRC) and somewhat from his coding style. It seems like he's a kind of guy who can defend his work, do this in an unorthodox way, make it work and got it accepted. At the end of the day, the hate is a feeling and is personal. I think we need to be pragmatic here too. Not that better communication from both parties will benefit everyone and everything in the long run.

At the end of the day, we are using systemd, and it's working. If we want a better system, we need to improve it. systemd is the state of the art right now, and we should either write something better or improve it if we have any beef with systemd itself.

OTOH, Beef with developers is something that should stay out of software and community in general.

My original comment was trying to explore whether there are more reasons to dislike it besides the original points that I stated above.

The major challenge for this aircraft seems to be control, accomplished by some clever programming of the flight controllers. None of the planes have a rudder, so yaw control is accomplished solely by differential throttle. They also have no ailerons - each plane uses its elevators, with its own response direction and magnitude, to control the overall aircraft's roll.

Why you need to build a Custom Android App for your Business
I wonder if there are projects out there for an option 4:

4) Use an OSS dependency checker tool that reports the risk in your dependency tree

4a) Dependency tool uses a crowdsourced database of audit/review metrics

A typical NodeJS project has potentially 1,000's of (transitive) dependencies. Many well-established projects use dependencies versioned e.g. 0.0.1 etc.

I guess there are hundreds of similarly unmaintained packages among these.

Lacking 4) a small-time developer working on a side-project only has option 1) (or option 0 - Take the risk) as a feasible way to go.
