It does. I'm using them now, but they might still be only available to beta users right now.
Probably one of your main considerations should be how you are left if the startup dies. There's plenty of good advice here about how to pick a startup that might succeed.

So there's a few considerations:

- Have you got some savings, in case it dies suddenly? You need to be able to pay rent until you find another job. Hopefully the startup is located near these other jobs.

- Does it allow you to build on existing experience? If you can claim you're in the same industry, you're not losing much (perceived) seniority by trying your luck for a bit.

- Does it give you an easy promotion? This is probably one of the main things a startup can offer. Just being able to add "Senior" to your name or "Team Lead" a few years before you would in BigCo might be worth it.

- Do you get to work with the tech that you want for your CV? You probably have an idea of what's hot to have on a CV, and a startup is relatively new, so maybe you can direct things that way?
I guess Steve should have been grinding leetcode problems for hundreds of hours instead of helping out with Rust in order to not be "looked down upon by serious engineering teams".

In all seriousness, had really good interactions with him in the Rust channel. Neat to see an author engage with the community and help out. Contributions, should they decrease, will be missed.
They just updated it a few minutes ago! By the time the blog post was out it was still asking for a credit card. Now it doesn't. They really rushed things out because of that TNW mistake!

Like many others here I'm also pretty happy about it. $7/month is not a lot of money but I also moved some personal private repos to BitBucket to avoid the fees. I will probably go back now.
Honestly I'm almost at the point where I'd prefer to manually perform CI tasks than use anything Microsoft.

Why would you want to take on that massive burden for such a tiny percentage of sales - most of which you'd have gotten anyway?
There's a extensive review on a couple of podcasts on this topic by the "Science Versus" podcast.
Sure it wasn't just good marketing? I can't get any content without hearing an ad from them.
So it's a secondary team to replace the secondary team.
> Yes, with hindsight it can be seen that the actions she initially took were incorrect. But they seemed perfectly rational approaches at the time.

There was nothing incorrect or irrational about the actions the mother initially took. Her approach was reasonable given the limited information available to her. A slightly more rational approach would perhaps have placed greater emphasis on the value of empathy and her relationship with her child, which was being undermined by some of the measures she took, and given correspondingly less weight to the social pressure she was feeling from others—but in the end she made the rational decision in line with her own principles and priorities and stopped trying to force the issue. Later, when her son was both able and willing to discuss the matter, she was able to analyse the root cause and suggest several rational alternative courses of action which were readily adopted, thus putting an end to the problem for good.

It's unclear from the write-up whether any maternal instincts were involved, but the peer pressure which pushed her to force the issue was clearly irrational and played on her instinctive desire for acceptance. Instincts and emotions are a good thing and shouldn't be ignored, but it's a mistake to follow them blindly—they can lead you into trouble just as easily as they can get you out of it. It's best to look at them as valuable inputs into the rational process, to be evaluated alongside other data before drawing any conclusions.
Yes. Note that `this` is just syntactic sugar; a call to `obj.method(arg)` is, underneath, essentially a call to `method(obj, arg)`, with the first argument always being hidden, and the only one that's a subject of a method dispatch (polymorphism).

Common Lisp gets rid of implicit `this` by making all arguments explicit, and by not restricting polymorphism to the first parameter - in fact, you can do a method dispatch on any of the method parameters, or any combination of them. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18848384 for an example.
Truth be told I don't think PA ever had a chance to truly be big. So few people wanted the Supcom style gameplay. Forged Alliance Forever only has a couple thousand people and the best or second best commentator/stream of games (Gyle) gets only a few thousand views per video. I think the gameplay style just doesn't appeal to as many people

to be fair, I thought the Vega cards were only more expensive because crypto-miners found out they worked better for mining than the nvidia cards?

Unless I am mistaken, in which case, ignore this.
At first I thought this was about the PowerPort PD Atom 1, which isn't yet released, but it's about the PowerPort PD 1, which came out sometime last year.
> Urban legend is that after the third time they just magically approve it.

I can tell you that does not happen magically. I went through the entire process and still got denied.

You first apply for SSDI and they keep asking for records. Then they have some doctor look at you (at least in my case). The doctor actually got upset with me for taking too long to answer his questions. They also had a psychologist ask me some questions too. Finally they deny you the first time (which is actually to be expected).

You then have your case re-reviewed (your first appeal), and get to see the same exact doctor yet once again. They ask for the newest records from your doctor and you have to fill out some of the same forms again. After that I got denied again. Apparently this part differs from state to state, and some just skip this re-review and go straight to see a judge.

Finally you get to have the portion where you sit with a judge (your second appeal in many states). I even had a lawyer for this part (the law firm wouldn't even help me prior to my first denial). There is an expert in the room to say if you are able to work or not. The expert actually said everything in my favor, and told the judge I was unable to work at any job. This judge still denied me.

After this you can try to fight it in federal court essentially saying that the judge was wrong, but you only have a 1% chance of winning. At this point you just have to reapply and start the whole process over.

The problem is, when you have an actual chronic illness and are seeing one of the top doctors in the country for it with loads of evidence, it doesn't matter to social security. I would rather be able to work than go through this process. Trying to navigate the process of what to do and what not to do to please the social security gods is especially hard with little energy and high brain fog some days. I was so exhausted initially, I didn't do much research and just filled out everything the best I could, which apparently was not in my favor.
Pretty much. The corrolary is more interesting though: everyone, including Apple, thinks this is a "business" problem. It's not, it's technical.

The bottom line is that phones are commoditized at this point. There's nothing (statistically nothing, that is -- obviously everyone has preferences) that people want them to do that they don't, and there's nothing that a premium product can offer that the cheap ones don't have too.

That's not something Apple or Stratechery or posters here can fix. It's just the way technology works. It's the same thing (almost exactly the same thing) that happened to Apple in the early 90's. Sure, macs were still better. But they were better and more expensive and for 95% of what the median purchaser (which at the time meant "desk worker at a US business") wanted to do a PC clone running windows was perfectly fine. So Apple got trapped in a slowly shrinking prestige niche.

Now, eventually they broke out with exciting new products and new markets that drive new success. But that's not a "business decision".
As someone experinced here, most pre OBD2 electronics are very often much easier to hack for performance applications. Obd2 started in 1996 in the usa. The extra sensors and data are not the issue, quite welcome actually. The issue is the opaqueness of the newer hardware.
12.5% is still a significant percent of revenue.
Using the DNS challenge with LE, you can create a wildcard cert that is valid for *.domain.tld. Now you need a simple local DNS server like PiHole to resolve any local domains to your local reverse proxy serving local sites with the wildcard cert and you're done. You only need internet connection on the user's browser to get the little green lock and when you generate the wildcard cert itself.
For $350 you can get an RTX 2060 or a slightly slower Vega 56.

So AMD is fleecing customers too?
For JS: straight-forward batch processing. Open this CSV, iterate over the data, munge it in some way, spit it out again as a new CSV. This kind of thing is like a 4-line Python script but in JS/Node requires readline or some other kind of standard library thing, nest-y callbacks and/or promises, or maybe async and understanding how that works (which, for a brand new dev... have fun with that), etc. If you need to do IO but don't have a task that benefits from async, things in JS tend to feel unnecessarily torturous.
I feel like most people either want their code public (they want to share their projects with the world) or they want it private (they don't want the rest of the world to see their embarrassing toy projects).

I think the projects that could go either way -- that are public just because it's cheaper than private -- probably aren't that common or that important.
Building a custom version of CoreOS using CoreOS SDK
Also, if you fork a private repo, I wonder if that’s 3 new collaborators? Could you have essentially unlimited collaborators by forking for each person and having them submit pull requests?
The more I've used Clojure, the less I've liked it: protocols don't work correctly, multimethods are badly designed, core.async isn't source-compatible between CLJ/CLJS, unless you know what to avoid, etc.

As far as interactive development compromises go, I'm mostly thinking about how in Clojure, it seems like the only practical way to load your new code is to use something like tools.namespace/refresh (or whatever it is). And, that essentially involves throwing away everything and rebuilding it from scratch: while that has some nice properties (e.g. you don't end up with an inconsistent image state), it's also really annoying because you have to restart all your servers, etc.

And, the other thing that makes CL standout from every system I've used except Smalltalks, is that Quicklisp loads third party systems into the current image without restarting: there are a bunch of tools I've seen floating around that claim to be able to do this for Clojure, but I've never really been able to make any of them work consistently.
> It's a question of "restrict expression to some extent" v. "prohibit outright". When I said "no right to prohibit" -- it's the latter form that I meant.

Then banning mosques is not in the scope of your statement. Muslims can practice their religion without the presence of a mosque. Many do pray in the privacy of their homes or somewhere other than a mosque. Like France's face covering restrictions, it is only a restriction of a specific aspect of the religion. Such a ban does not, in your own words, "prohibit outright" the ability to practice Islam.
can a 970 even support VR hardware? I was under the impression it could not.

Your bad analogy is directly contradicted by Britain's past success in negotiating special conditions within the EU membership.

Continuous Accounting in the Serverless Cloud
Hey, thank you for your reply. My post wasn't meant to provoke or to imply anything, it really was an honest question.
Steam and the work that Valve has done on the linux side seems to show that's not the case. (They've managed to port quite a lot of linux games).

This sounds like a case where a platform wasn't a priority for their business was showing that it had bugs.
Create Graphs with SeaBorn- the Most Awesome Python Library for Visualization
I bought PA early, and tried playing it on a low end 2007 laptop, and it was almost playable. The same machine could only barely handle supcom on lowest settings anyway. Meaning, if your hardware could handle supcom well, then it could probably handle the basics of PA (at least that's my bet)

They should not be expected to support systems that could only kind of handle the previous game anyway
Pandoc and AsciiDoctor are fairly similar in their purpose. Pandoc aims to provide conversion between a bunch of different formats, while AsciiDoctor primarily focuses on the AsciiDoc format, a "competitor" for markdown.

I prefer AsciiDoc over Markdown because it is just a bit more robust. While both are equally simple to use for the most common use cases of marking up a document and adding bold, italics, headings, and code snippets, AsciiDoc has features to add figure captions, cross references, and other slightly more robust features that I use for a lot of my writing.
Solve what's meaningful for you today.

If something more meaningful arises, you can switch course in the future.

State upfront that you will not hold regrets, for to regret a decision implies that you had knowledge of how it would turn out when you originally decided. You do not have any such idea - so there is no room for regrets.
Not for public pipelines. I don't think it will be for personal private repos either. I'm sure they will add pricing plans that allow you to execute more pipelines in parallel, etc though. What makes you so sure it will be a paid feature?

The article is mainly about revenue growth, and any startup should be willing to share top line revenue and growth rate.

A large reason not to share things is some info is sensitive, for example the share count is a useful number, while the full cap table with each investor’s pricing, terms, and contact info, and other employee grants, would be sensitive and might be more guarded. Same thing about total revenue versus the customer list.

More traditional advice is to ask about the fully diluted share count, so you can see what percentage the options would be, and of course the vesting schedule and purchase terms. Also I’d also ask about cash or runway, which is related to the ability to survive a rough patch.

I was CEO and founder of a YC funded startup and have some experience hiring at the seed stage. For me personally, I wanted engaged people and asking good questions was a positive sign.
That is clearly false. Building codes, workplace safety codes, zoning rules, noise ordinances, even aesthetic ordinances exist in most non-rural places.
It wouldn't have to be provided to the contract doctors, you'd just need a process where the doctor says "this paperwork is missing a discharge document, without that I can't make a determination" and the state/patient can get it. (I'm not a doctor so I don't know if a discharge document is something you would expect to see in a medical history)
HEY! I know a lot of people in this space and can certainly recommend individuals.
In what world is 12.5% of revenue "irrelevant"? The 37.5% business revenue is just 3 times as much (so almost as irrelevant), and Enterprise is only 4 times is much (again, almost as irrelevant).

Unless .. all github revenue is irrelevant for Microsoft - which might be true, for all I know.
Images are hidden by default until a script shows them with an animation (fade) once they're loaded. The script is part of the Wordpress theme this site is using. Clearly it's old code considering it's relying on code only compatible with jQuery 1.2.1 which was released in 2007.
> I'll remember asterisk in the future.

Aaand you've just learned all the formatting HN has :). That, and URLs automatically turn into clickable everywhere except the body of a self-submission (i.e. submitting a text instead of a link). Any other formatting here is just convention.
Per case, the contract doctors are paid ~$100 once (from both per-case and per-hour pay) rather than $800 every month to the applicants. That's still cost-effective. The only reason the numbers seem so large is because there are so few doctors, processing so many applications.

This is similar to the "New York marshals" involved in the debt-collections scheme articles that made the rounds on HN a short time ago. One person makes millions, solely because they have the bureaucratic rubber stamp that makes the grossly unethical business perfectly legal.

If you can put together a good racket, you can usually make a few hundred thousand dollars at it. That's just what sacrificing your own ethics is worth.

But now I wonder how much those docs pay for private security, to protect them from the terminally ill people, denied disability benefits, who may decide to go out with a suicidal attack on someone whom they could see as contributing to their doom.
I can't speak for linux currently, as I stopped running that in lieu of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, but I havent had any of those problems on either of my AMD-gpu-powered machines on windows. (one running Vega 8 integrated, the other running an RX 580 4G).

it definitely sounds like a driver compatibility issue. AMD cards have had....issues on linux for a long while now. I remember running a laptop with a dedicated AMD card about 10 years ago that wouldn't work on linux without installing a 3rd-party driver because their switchable graphics implementation was god-awful.

Monetize Your Passion | ASQ Protocol | Decentralized Content Economy
If your mortgage is $600k, you should work towards paying that off more quickly, depending on the interest rate, so that you can be free from that burden. Once your house is paid for, then your daily work can decrease if you want, or have extra savings available for earlier retirement or maybe doing more fun things. I won't be "happy" until I'm debt free with $10mil in savings/investments, but I am definitely happy regardless because I genuinely look forward to every day of working towards that goal.
Never been a better time to learn to code
But prototype is more than an idea though
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking.

So, what's their social graph play?
I really enjoyed Thomas Limoncelli's Time Management for System Administrators. I've also got The Practice of System and Network Administration on my shelf, and hopefully one of these years I'll read it---maybe once my time management is better. :-) I like that Tom was practicing and advocating system-administration-by-writing-code way before DevOps, and to me he represents a tradition of automation that far predates the buzzwords.

I've lived in the world of Rails and Django so long, I sort of take schema migrations for granted. It's interesting to see such a high-level person covering this ground; it reminds me of how much these frameworks have given us, and how so many organizations are still practically emailing around zip files of source code.

His Technique 2 feels harder to me: write the code to work on both old & new schemas, and deploy the schema change after the code change. I know this is what Google does though, and I think it's the only safe way to deploy rollback-able code changes. I'm curious who else is doing it, and especially how you are scheduling it. Especially with a CI/CD workflow, I'm used to getting things integrated and letting them get deployed "whenever". So how do you make sure the schema changes go out "later", and what gating is required first, and how do you get buy-in to spend time on that after the feature is already live? I'm not asking about the technical how-to, but the organizational/political how-to. For instance if you're using Pivotal Tracker, do you make a separate PT story? Leave the old one open until the schema changes are deployed? What does it concretely look like?
Yup. That's when I stopped reading.
Not true. Invisible demand is a potential market and a bunch of prospects in waiting.

However that niche is way too small to be worth it.
Many people have been trumpeting "superhuman" performance of deep learning on narrow tasks, and extrapolating that to a future where self-driving cars are ubiquitous and saving our lives routinely.

That performance is technically true, but unfortunately it doesn't translate to real-world engineering problems like driving cars.
Except that doesn't put GitHub on par with GitLab. So they are basically kneecapping one product (GitHub) in order to not compete with another product (Azure), leaving them with two halfassed products, neither of which are as good as the competition (GitLab, which has built-in CI).

They'd be better off killing one product or the other, rolling it into the remaining one, and at least having a single-brand offering that can compete on features with GitLab.
Yeah, I'm in the process of migrating all of my GitLab repos to GitHub now.

My workflow is GitHub+CircleCI, so GitLab was never a big win for me; I just used it for the private repos.
I don't think that's exactly the same: CFFI has the ability to bind C libraries with minimal boilerplate just like jnr-ffi does. But, in addition, with CFFI (and sbcl built with a particular set of flags) you can generate an CL image that only depends on GLIBC because you've statically linked all your .so dependencies into the resulting image.
Escaping the Gang: A Blood's Story
Behold the power of MCMC
Since the in situ construction seems to take ages and has made everyone extremely skeptical of the economics side of nuclear power (compared to 20 years ago), small modular reactors could be a better avenue. There the whole reactor vessel can be built in a factory and transported to the plant site as a whole.

Improvements to the design and operational procedures etc could also be made faster if a lot more were made and operated.

At least over here, the problem is that the extremely long winded permit process (the parliament has to vote) has to be passed for each reactor core. This drives up the core size.

But laws can be changed, one could instead have a thermal megawatt limit per permit etc.
Always. The question with any form of process optimization is how much smaller does the human presence need to be? The idea that we would replace people entirely is a sales pitch.
Taking that 3% and allocating towards your own developers contributing to OSS gives everyone more bang for the buck right?

It's a wonderful gesture, I don't want to take away from that. Just wondering how straight up donating compares to contributing.
The benefit of using widely supported tooling is even greater for large codebases. Automated reformatting is easy, and moving code around isn't that hard if it's going hand in hand with a build system that supports it.

Staying in the cooking pot of ever larger proprietary and exotic hacks is how organizations grind to a halt.
Which is exactly what is Gates pushing, investments into nuclear.
