I've been looking off and on for the past year or two. The scene is depressing. Or there is just no market for cross-platform applications. However I doubt that is the case as over time there have been more fully-featured, once-desktop-only applications competing successfully cross-platform. (Figma vs. Sketch for example.)

Draw.io is free but requires you to do so much work yourself to create objects, size them, group them, connect them, arrange them.

Most other tools I've found when googling around require the same level of effort to use as Draw.io: AsciiFlow, Gliffy.

Omnigraffle is out of the picture since I need to be able to share and use graphs across Mac, Windows, and Linux users -- without needing to describe multiple tools and conversion between formats or anything.

The simplest tool I've seen that just works is Visio. It is primarily click-and-drag and has great suggested connecting, sizing, grouping, and arranging features. It has an online client that works in Chrome in Mac, Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD. On Windows there is also the fully-featured desktop client. It's also familiar/intuitive enough to old-school Office users and feels like a regular graphics application to those of us less Office-oriented.

I don't enjoy spending as much time as I have hunting for the ideal solution. But I'm happy to have found Visio.
They should put the money towards paid maintainers instead (or also).
I think there are many other things you can do before going open source - the site needs pricing, in browser demo etc.

Also is your code ready for open source, do you have great docs etc..

Even as a life long EU skeptic, I'm okay with this. Im not sure about the choice of projects, but I'm sure someone had their reasons for picking the projects that I don't find particularly relevant for a public funded bug bounty.

Eg. Im sure that Notepad++ has its share of bugs, but I doubt many are critical or security related.

Relying on them for email isn’t a small dependency since that’s your online identity, being linked to all your other online accounts.

Pay for your own domain and if you can’t live without Gmail, at least go with GSuite.

Personally I think Gmail sucks for delivering email and I got off it based on technical limitations too.

Sure, but you don't need refcounting for cases that are covered by Rust's affine types, even in C/C++. You can use the patterns described in the C++ Core Guidelines, and end up with something quite rusty, only without fully-automated checking.

(Besides, I think std::rc has better performance than the refcounts found in Swift and C++, because it's used in cases that don't need atomic update, and yes this is statically checked too.)
The Art of Writing Documentation
Who is proposing a propagandic censorship machine? The example, as stupid as it was, was intended to highlight bias and ask the question of how big tech can be trusted to act without ideological or personal preference when it comes to censoring speech, deciding what apps are permissible, who can earn on their platforms etc. I don’t hear anyone who is championing regulation suggesting that the solution to censorship on the likes of google is more censorship only this time enforced by the government

Not being able to have an interview is a red flag. Companies can't tell the age from a resume.

You can still give them aspirin and/or ibuprofen. People have done it for over half a century, and the sky hasn't fallen.

How much/often were those people taking ibuprofen to have those effects? And how worse were they than the baseline? From what I see, they took 3 times a day for 2-3 weeks (not just to pass a small fever), and they were older men to begin with (e.g. already on a downfall for testosterone).

That only solves part of the problem. It doesn't solve the privacy issues, nor the reliability issues (like when there's a communications outage). And there's still the risk of a foreign country putting pressure on the payment processors to deny use of cards to a particular customer or company.

Depend of what I have to draw...

- TikZ good for nearly anything, the best results in any case, but a bit time-consuming. I use it only when I really need to draw impressive things (that happen really rarely);

- Dia (Gnome) works well for various / casual / simple stuff especially because of it's variety of icons/block libraries immediately available. I use it to made quick stuff that does not really need to be "visually impressive" and I do not have too much interest in them;

- Ditaa (with org-mode) is nice for simple/quick drawings for witch pure TiKz is overkill and Dia as an external tool is overkill due to the simplicity/regularity of the drawing itself;

- Matplotlib with Python or Hy can be a nice tool depending on what kind of diagram I have to produce;

- Last mentioned, more as a curiosity since I discover it recently and essentially tested only for play: https://github.com/cuichaox/dml
Early morning, pre-coffee eyes. Thanks for the correction.

I still think 15 months is too much for what this is even if the guy did it for personal gain. He should have received a fine at most.

I had a similar feeling of the sentence being a bit much in the case of Mark Abene aka Phiber Optik [1] back in my NYC Echo Days (where is Stacy Horn nowadays?). Phiber Optik (Mark Abene)was sent to prison for the AT&T hack to be made an "example" of the "Hacker threat". He served 12 months.

Because it’s not about the end product. It’s about developers. It’s resume driven development. Sadly, devs have to do this otherwise other dev managers won’t hire them for being out of date.

It’s a vicious, pathetic cycle.
"Other app stores" do exist, but Google went to great lengths to destroy them. Publishing clients for alternative stores in Google Play/Android Market have been prohibited by Google's ToS for years (don't know if it is still prohibited). The "allow alternative app sources" checkbox (unchecked by default!) has been deterring users from installing from non-Google sources till Android 8. It still exists, but Google have ruled, that third-party marketplace apps are better than malware-riddled piracy websites, so Android 8+ allows to whitelist specific marketplace apps while still keeping the checkbox unchecked. And let's not forget about Google's war to banish alternatives to their services from Android devices, while using their own Google Services packages as leverage.

Google's overall approach to building it's walled garden is not much different from Apple's. They give some fake "choice", because they know, that tech-illiterate consumers won't be able to make use of alternative options.
Most hospitals have on-call work, overtime, outsourced work, consumables that can be billed for etc.

Why do you pose a ridiculous question, implying the parent commenter is a bad person who doesn't love their children or whatever?

Do you give your children general anesthesia when they are in pain? E.g. they've fallen and bummed their knee or something?

Why not, since it would be the ultimate pain-killer? Because it's both dangerous and unnecessary.

The parent has the same reasoning for other unneeded and dangerous drugs.

Why can discuss whether they're really as unneeded and dangerous as the author implies, but that's another question, not loaded with "why don't you love your children" implications...

And because the people wanting it don't listen to experts either.
I think people prefer this mentality when the economy isn't doing so hot. Same goes for people who think they're being treated unfairly by age. The health of the economy is the deciding factor and depending on the health of the particular industry as well. Older developers I've encountered have always been super. Unless they have some ego that tries to claim superiority by "age" equating to more experience; which is never the case.

Nobody (at least nobody respected) is claiming we (humanity) have a scalable quantum computer. There are a bunch of interesting research hardwares that have handful of qubits and things are steadily (albeit slowly) growing. But many people in the field have started expecting practically usable hardware to start appearing in the next decade. That level of ubiquitous near-term optimism is pretty new and exciting (especially when looking back to the immense progress of the last 20 years in this field).

If you want to spend hours or days handcrafting and tuning, there are plenty of options, but for quickly making diagrams that still look good (and can be fine-tuned to look even better) I find Visio hard to beat. It's Windows only and costs money, but it is well worth the money.

As often as you need when they have a fever. Modern thermometers can give you the temperature in a minute or so.

Is the idea that you can kill your child or severely damage it because of what you did to "alleviate their fever/pain" equally revolting to you?

Or are you OK with hurting your kids, as long as they don't feel the pain?

InterServer Review 2019: Hosting Plans, Features, and Pricing Comparison
That's usually how you can identify good people: when they can explain complicated things using simple words, in a way that their audience can understand it. People that need lots of expensive words and leave you feeling dizzy at the end of their presentation often don't know very well what they are talking about either.
"If you’re not learning you’re standing still"

This is a large understatement. In our industry, if you're not learning you are drifting backwards rapidly.

I aim for twenty hours a week of (unpaid) reinvestment and learning. Some weeks I still feel like that's not enough to stay current.

Does anyone else feel the same way?
From one of my projects (a MMORPG) I've learned that the required accuracy in non-financial transactions is often underestimated, while, on the other hand, financial transactions are often less critical that initially assumed. After all, compensation in financial transactions is often straightforward to calculate and apply. But the damage done through dropped/failed non-financial transactions is often hard to assess, and it's also more involved to find appropriate compensation.
Aaaand flagged of the front page, what just by score and would would probably still sit firmly at the #1 spot it shot to.

What's a valid reason to do that, rather than clicking "hide" and just ignore the story if you personally don't care about it? Sure, I'd also prefer an article, that maybe contains this and other things as examples. But the discussion can be in that spirit regardless -- and who who will that article, or have such a discussion, when stuff like this is actively being hidden from sight?

Once again it turns out that most people are way better than the manipulated results make it seem like. I think of that whenever someone says "the market decided that "$shitty_thing is okay".

edit: answer the 2 questions, and we'll see who's contributing and thinking, and who isn't.
Paracetamol (or acetaminophen) can cause liver failure if you take too high a dose[1] (this is one of the reasons you are told not to drink alcohol when taking paracetamol -- if your liver is struggling to process alcohol you're more susceptible to liver failure).

In fact, paracetamol poisoning is the primary cause of death in overdoses (in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand)[2]. And in 2006, [3] found it was the most commonly used compound for intentional overdosing (i.e. suicide by overdose).

But of course, this depends on taking a very high dose -- paracetamol isn't dangerous in moderate doses.

We're not supposed to "stay motivated despite distractions".

If somebody close to you dies e.g. it's ok to mourn them, before picking up.

If a family member has an issue, it's ok to drop our productivity while helping them out.

We don't have to be perfect performing machines 24/7 -- nor does it matter in the end, when we'll all be in the grave.

As for lesser everyday distractions, the suggested "habit forming" is precisely a way the author proposes to stay motivated in face of them.
Github employs a bunch of designers. The diagram in this specific example looks like a custom job to me. Probably Sketch or similar tool.

That said, my old standby is OmniGraffle. Makes it super easy to create any type of diagram on macOS.

The context was that nuclear growth was going to slow down, both because electric power demand growth was slowing, and because nuclear power plants were even then experiencing large cost overruns. If the government pivoted away from nuclear, it wasn't some plan to kill nuclear, but rather a reaction to these market facts.

In that environment where nuclear growth did not match the central plans, reprocessing made no sense.

Nitpicking, there've been shady "urban mobility" apps before.

Remember that one which told you which platform your train at eg Penn Station was likely to come in on, so you could wait on your track instead of in the designated waiting area? To put it in clickbait terms, "station operators HATE this", because there are a variety of safety and efficiency problens with people waiting on the platform, even when it helped the user be the first on the train.

(I have no idea what is going on in this case.)

Declarative file formats mostly seem to work fine for every other language. The only thing that I can think of that is unique to C++ is that the ecosystem is full of projects which use cobbled-together build scripts in imperative languages, which means your project may need to interface with these scripts; however, a package manager means that only the package maintainer needs to worry about these scripts; not every project that depends on them, so the declarative approach should work just fine as with other languages.
Where did I say anything about smoking? And I also didn't say cannabis has no tradeoffs either. But it won't kill you. That's a pretty strong pro in my book if you are looking for occasional pain relief.
They’re now filtering bad packets so this can’t happen again.

No mention of fixing the design flaw in the system that allows a single piece of malfunctioning hardware to knock out 911 service for millions of users for two days.
On a contrarian note:

Below a certain age, tooling and practices knowledge is likely to be up-to-date. First thing they learned was today’s ways.

Above a certain age, it takes additional expertise to assess whether the individual kept learning every year or just kept relying on the first thing they learned.

Recruiters and contentless managers often fail to tell the difference, so mis-bias on age which doesn’t cause but can correlate to out-of-date skills.

At both ages, young and old, assess for self-learning, not age.
It seems like a rather logical distribution of projects if you consider the ratio of (installed base/developer interest). The projects on this list all have massive user bases, but few of them would garner much excitement on HN and they have relatively small developer communities.

Filezilla, Notepad++ and 7-zip aren't in themselves mission-critical, but they're hugely popular products. If you can pwn an office computer or a developer workstation, you've made a crucial step towards pwning something properly sensitive. Think about the IT guy in a typical medium-sized business or a government department - what are the first things he's going to install on his own work computer? After Microsoft Office and his browser, what programs will he most often use to open untrusted files from the internet? What happens to the department if a trojan on his machine starts feeding his passwords to the FSB or the PLA?
I bet if I searched HN I’d get more hits for “just use react” than I would for “use whatever you want.”
If you can escape the "garden" just by checking a box, it's not much of a walled garden. The choice is very real, e.g. there's nothing like F-Droid on iOS devices. This makes Android devices a fairly sensible choice overall, although some devices are still more open than others (supporting e.g. alternative, Google-free OS's like LineageOS, and perhaps the future PostmarketOS).
I wasn't satishfied with existing applications for binding joystick to keyboard inputs. I couldn't find a single tool that could mimic analog controls by PWMing/pulsing keystrokes, so I made my own, so I could finally have proper support for my joystick in games that didn't support it (Mainly GTA online for helicopter ownage)

Its mostly useful for stuff like that, making bad PC ports work with joysticks, but I guess you could use it for accesibility as well as it also can bind mouse to joystick etc.

I also attempted to make a HTML5 player for an old physics sandbox game called Phun / algodoo. It kinda worked, but I put it on hold because I got annoyed by some problems I had with the physics engine I used (LiquidFun)

Think that through. The malware that comes with FileZilla is often reported to be pretty bad.

Agreed, potential a 0 day (especially when targeted) could also have a really bad effect.

But Filezilla's malware isn't theoretical, so could really be the bigger problem.

A quick google search "are some people lucky" will show that people very much believe in luck as a trait. Like I said, it's irrational, but people believe in it. It's a placeholder for someone who succeeds or fails abnormally, without a visible cause.

Consider this: You're working at a startup that is struggling, and you're interviewing a candidate whose last 5 startups they worked at folded within 6 months of them being hired. As rational as people try to be, there would be a back-of-the-mind superstition that hiring that person would be bad luck.
There needs to be some central or regional oversight body to ensure standards are being met, equitable access is being maintained, etc. A lot of poor areas are undeserved by these patchwork networks and several infrastructure deficiencies can compound. Example: poorly maintained roads leads to potholes, those lead to drivers swerving or getting otherwise surprised leading to injuries, which are insufficiently addressed by local healthcare. Imagine if we had a tyrannical electric utility who cut your power for a bill paid one day late.
Whenever I see blanket statements like this in such studies ~ it's like they're trying to avoid pissing any powerful corporations that profit from whatever we're told to not draw any conclusions about. They don't want to potentially endanger their careers.

Drug companies hate it when a cash-cow drug is threatened in any way. Anything that threatens those profits is a potential target in one way or another. Researchers studying these drugs know just how much power and influence these drug companies have, and so, are afraid of angering them.

The reasoning is simple ~ make a vaguely disqualifying statement that hopefully keeps them in the good books.
