I imagine they'll eventually remove individual plans entirely. Microsoft probably doesn't care about the tiny revenue from random developers paying them and would rather focus on enterprise plans.
And I thought they had to, because they weren't allowed to have the military part of Galileo. Which makes the UK the only country without access to high precision GPS.

They had no success negotiation access to Galileo, so they are forced door a Homebrew alternative.

America is the leader with GPS, last time I checked.

To be honest, a lot of your comments lack realism and objective references. I'm 100% sure you live in the UK
I think Cook's pretty happy to paint over Apple's errors with growing services revenue. Someone probably showed him how it grows into an iPhone killer that requires 100,000s fewer employees and no device at all. Then when he got his AOL dial-up bill for the 1090th time he realized this kind of innovation could carry Apple for decades.
ooooOOOOOOooooOOOO is Julian going to sue me for defamation now?

Allow me to amend: Wikileaks now publishes Russia and putin related material long after they aquire them and only after they are called out on it.

They sat on the "spy files" for a full year, and only published them after their source went around telling other publications about them. https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/17/wikileaks-turned-down-l...

It's often said in HN threads, particularly about pain relief.
I largely agree with this.

My wife is a physician and the stories you hear are unbelievably sad but most people don't fit the definition of disability by social security. Most people are able to perform another job, however, their training and personality limits them in being reintroduced to the labor markets.

The problem isn't a simple one but there are other solutions such as retraining
And that's probably why they did it :)

So others won't leave for gitlab.
Maybe setting up a Patreon account and posting what you did each week is sufficient. That seems to work for the youtubers, and it's more audacious to ask money for watching youtube videos than writing docs and promoting Rust ;-)
They build on each other. Without the foundation of Why, the What and the How are prone to ramble and be forgettable.

Having a weak "What" (without a "Why") usually evokes boredom. It's not obvious to me why I should listen to the idea being presented. And that also drives the "How" - see what medium will best get your point across, otherwise it's east to fall into the trap of making slides of something that needs to be shown, or vice versa.
"C++ is hanging around for a long time ( 34 years till date according to Wikipedia). It is powering some of the world’s oldest and stable piece of software written over all these years."

Autodesk AutoCAD (36+ years old) CAD software is one of those piece of software that is still widely used today and very likely used to design physical products many people use today from your toothbrush, office chairs, towering skyscraper buildings to parts of a jet plane you've flown in from your last vacation.
I cant find the particular scene, but in the beginning of Platoon, Elias goes through Chris's (Charlie Sheen) pack and just starts throwing unnecessary shit out after he nearly humped himself into being a heat casualty.
Wouldn't you then get stuck in a local maxima?

Your tomato example probably depends on the time of year, your location, the farm. And even then how are you storing it? Fridge? Cupboard? So probably not generally answerable.

I know Tesco (a uk supermarket) started labelling with embodied CO2, but gave up.

I do agree with you though. Even some marketing regs, so when someone claims something is greener, it actually is.
Back in the days when we used Maven, we had an involved asset building system. It was very hard to shoehorn this into Maven's fixed lifecycle phases (they might be customizable now, I don't know) to the point where we had a Maven plugin so powerful, it eventually made Maven redundant.
I didn't but some of the libraries I needed at the time don't appear to be present. The reason I wanted to use C++ specifically was API hooking and the Windows ETW api. I don't see any of the projects like Detours present so unfortunately it wouldn't have helped me in this case.

It does look promising but because of the mess I'll probably gravitate to another language if I don't need to consume such a low level API.
Anecdata: My fiancee has lupus and a kidney transplant. There are days where they are completely bedbound and days where they can walk around just fine, depending on if they are in a lupus flare and what it is attacking. All of their doctors (rheumatologist, nephrologist, and internist) have urged her to apply for disability as they all consider them firmly in the permanently disabled camp.

> Urban legend is that after the third time they just magically approve it.

The state you are in seems to make a big difference. My fiance applied three times in the state of Florida and were denied all three times. They were approved on their first application in Wisconsin.

Your medical situation also seems to make a big difference. In Florida, my fiance's doctors were spread around, requiring several trips to get paperwork. In Wisconsin, they are all at a single hospital, so requesting records was simple, and the medical records department sent all of them at once from all of their doctors with a single request.

> There's a whole group of lawyers that specialize in getting people approved for disability benefits.

Many of them work on contingency, taking a cut of the back pay that you get when a previously rejected application is ultimately approved. I understand that lawyers need to be paid, but taking a cut of someone's disability benefits seems pretty low to me. (That said, there are firms that work on a pro-bono, sliding scale, or a fee-for-service basis where they do not take a cut of your back payment.)

> It's very easy for the overweight to qualify for heart/breathing problems.

I wish this myth would die. The morbidly obese very rarely qualify for disability.

> [Y]ou would assume that $804/month is a low enough amount to keep people from applying. It won't even cover rent in many places.

Many places have supplemental rent assistance and other benefits that you become eligible for once you are on disability, which mitigates some of that.
I can’t say where I live as there are not enough expats here for me to stay anonymous but I can say work remotely for US companies.
I'll be curious to see how much Git-LFS is offered. I've been using Gitlab for private repos, but I need LFS as well.

Also, will be curious to see the pricing structure - if this changes anything. The sad thing about Github is I always liked it more than competition, and I wanted to pay, but the price felt a bit steep for my usage. Since private will now be free, I hope they have some type of $4/m price range for solo devs, slightly better than free.
Face Recognition: A Novel Multi-Level Taxonomy based Survey
So the standard we should use in determining minimum wage is a "single parent with two school-age children"? Yet in the following sentences, the author adds another adult to the equation and says that a two-parent family with two children would mean "that each parent would need to earn just over $16 an hour." At $33 an hour, this two-parent family would be making close to $140,000 and that's not mentioned.

I've always had an issue with people touting $15 an hour, since they don't look at it from the standpoint of a yearly income. People tend to be surprised it's only #31,200 a year for someone working 40 hours a week.

This article attempts to put things in perspective; but, I think it still needs work.
From my own perspective,this results in me doing two things:

- cancelling my paid subscription: but in truth I was planning to do this anyway and moving to self-hosted in some way...I just wasnt getting relative value paying to just have private repositories for my own projects (I don't want contributors, but that doesn't mean I want my work to be public).

- but I will now as a result keep my repositories and activities on github. So this is a win for me: less work for now.
Didn't Apple move to a 3 year S cycle?

Like iPhone 6, then iPhone 6s, then iPhone 7 all being the same phone and then introducing a new design with the X.

So with this past year being the XS, this year will be the whatever XS 2 is, but with the same design, then we can expect a new design next year.

Meaning that their China not upgrading problem, as per the article, will continue for at least another year.
Linked lists get shit on a lot, but they're great for a lot of use cases that Rust is ideal for. Hell, doubly linked lists are pretty much the data structure of the Linux kernel, and it seems to run pretty fast.

> And I can't buy those by myself for that extra cash.

Why not? If you had thousands of dollars a year in extra cash, you could donate to homeless shelters, pay the higher healthcare premiums, subscribe to a service that would independently validate pharmacies, pay for good private schools or donate to scholarship funds, etc.

More to the point, you wouldn't need to pay for them to the extent that they already exist. There currently are homeless shelters and multiple health insurance companies and an FDA and mostly reasonable public schools. But they cost twice as much as they ought to or more. The healthcare market in the US is completely broken, but it's completely broken by inefficient regulations. Some of the costs of the inefficiency are paid in private health insurance premiums rather than tax dollars, but the problem is still the inefficiency.

Yes. And there are codebases that are going to outlive thee shiny tool of the month (or the decade, even).
Note that while France is a secular country, secularism is not the same thing as freedom of religion. Plenty of secular countries seek freedom from religion. This can entail restrictions that prevent people from practicing religious customs, like the burka ban. The degree of magnitude between something like that and halting the construction of mosques is debatable. A good argument can be made that the former is more restrictive than the latter: the former actually prevents people from practicing religious customs, the latter only prevents formal religious establishments. In other words, banning mosques means people can be practicing Muslims that pray in their home, while the latter prevents people from being practicing Muslims at all (if adhering to dress codes is considered part of practicing the religion).

The point I'm ultimately making is that the statement:

> But you have absolutely no right to prohibit anyone from practicing that religion simply because you don't like it.

Is demonstrably incorrect. Relatively liberal and progressive countries at times do prohibit people from practicing their religion, and France's restrictions serve as an example.
So what commercial service will GitHub offer to monetize at all? Ads? Data collection? I don't see a reason for anyone to pay for GitHub now.
But then the whole argument falls appart. Sure if you learn standard boring OOP in C++ then you can apply it. Thats what Java was designed for.

Hoever to even get there you first need to learn incredibly complex nonsense and waste massive amounts of time for knowlage that is virtually useless.

Then you might as well pick up Java, the most popular OOP language and learn it there.
Disability benefits are orthogonal to SNAP benefits - you can get SNAP without disability benefits and you can fail to qualify for SNAP because of disability benefits.

Did they just cut off a significant source of revenue, or do companies that subscribe to Enterprise make them so much more money that it doesn’t matter?
> it's required to sustain the country

because? If it's because we aren't fertile enough, or our education system isn't good enough, or we aren't paying enough for certain jobs, why not address this?

I'm interested to know whether you think there should be any upper limit to the population of the UK: 100m? 500m? more?
+1 Gitlab is awesome! Cool community oriented developers and a ton of more features. I see no reason too use github when gitlab is just better. It's also offered as a self hosted service.
My thought is they're trying to transition the phone to being your watch, with a 'tablet' for serious typing in a bag of some kind.

I mean, the Apple Watch is seriously good for most cases, it reliably sends messages using siri, I can answer calls on it, I can read my messages and do basically anything the phone can do, albeit much slower.

However, they'll have to brick my SE before I give it up. I bought an SE just before they got discontinued last year with apple care. I "downgraded" from a 7, this phone is definitely the best iPhone that exists for me and my slightly smaller than giants hands.. Even if a lot of apps are obviously not tested on the SE's size anymore. :(
No, it isn't. While I have a lot of sympathies for common low (e.g. jury etc.), it is very inefficient. Codified law is much more efficient.

Do you know why finance contracts in baking, M&A etc. in common low are so extraordinary complex? You have to consider fuer every eventuality and every former case.
Can I ask what parts you're referring to specifically when you say "replace the suspension"? My car is past 100k at this point and I'm looking forward to what might need to be done to keep it reasonably nice.
It's funny to see the parent's comment in response to an article that literally claims

> [...] phones, thanks to their centrality in people’s lives as well as the greater likelihood of harm, will always have a faster replacement cycle than PCs.

Also funny: parent is committing a form of confirmation bias responding to an author concerned about confirmation bias.
And, on a numeric keypad, the 5 is directly below the 8, supporting the typo hypothesis. Tweets from the author:

> Wordpress is fucking stupid. If you schedule something for \in the past\* it should say "er, are you sure?" instead of just immediately publishing the post.*

What I find most interesting about the fiasco is that TheNextWeb.com's editorial process consists of the stock Wordpress "Schedule a post" function [1] which includes this lovely tidbit:

> Tip: Always double check the date at the top of this calendar before clicking publish, and verify that it correctly says AM or PM

Trying it out in a test instance of Wordpress, he's correct: The initial status of a new post is "publish immediately." [2] Clicking "Edit" brings up a date editor. [3] And "OK" doesn't warn you if your date is in the past. [4] Finally, clicking the "Publish" (which could read "Schedule") generates a post with the URL /01/05/ that's visible immediately with no warning. [5]

Note the visibility and status options above the date: Wordpress does support some options for "draft" or "pending review" options with private/password-only visibility, but apparently TNW - a business that draws $15 million in revenue, is among the top 20,000 websites, and has dozens of employees - didn't use them before this oops.

I somehow assumed that there would be a red-tape process involving legal, editorial, and managerial oversight before you could get any content to the front page of a site like this. Not sure after seeing this if TNW is just playing fast and loose, or if everyone is...

I always believed Microsoft saw GitHub as a potential "in" for millions of developers, rather than a product that could generate revenue.

This move doesn't worry me, as I'm sure Microsoft would look to do something easy to calm the nerves of people who worried about Microsoft's acquisition. The cynic in me sees this as sweetener for Microsoft's later moves to integrate GitHub with Microsoft's developer tools, which will infuriate me along with millions of other developers.
Reserve requirements don't really control lending in the West anymore. The main determinant of whether a bank will issue a loan is whether it thinks the loan will be profitable. The main constraint on bank lending is capital reqirements - i.e. the ratio of the bank's liabilities to its assets.

The 'money multiplier' might have been a decent description of the banking system 100 years ago, but it's basically a myth these days.
Interesting! Feels like a metaphor for biological self-replication, which keeps working after minor mutations.
That's like arguing that cigarettes are a bit less harmful than they used to be. They're still a crap technology. Of all the possible ways to move a vehicle the ICE is the stupidest: essentially it's a device for burning oil as close to humans as possible while destroying the planet. Oh and by the way, those 'reduced' emissions were faked.
This is because (deliberately or not) what the speaker often wants to communicate mainly is that they are smart. Getting everyone lost in the first five minutes is not a big problem, quite the opposite. I have seen young people who gave brilliant lucid and comprehensible talks who were criticised by the experts in their narrow sub-field as "popularisers". I think many people know how to give a great talk, but choose not to.
To make matters worse, also keep in mind the energy cost of closed-loop synthesis of jet fuel from atmospheric and oceanic sources. (Yes, you can turn CO2 and H20 back into hydrocarbons with solar power, but it's considerably more expensive than just drilling the hydrocarbons out of the Earth's crust.)
This seems like a negative for Open-Source.
I haven't used CLion so can't comment on that, but I have tried a few other alternatives. QT Creator [1] has always worked very well for me. If you want to stick with vim there is YouCompleteMe[2]. You can also try using any editor that supports the LanguageServer protocol [3] and then use a C++ language server to provide cross references, hierarchies, completion and more. Microsoft has a language server plugin for vscode [4], there is also CCLS [5], cquery [6] or clangd [7] which can be made to work with both vim and emacs.

Azure DevOps is a lot more than just source control, so there isn't all that much overlap with what GitHub offers. I imagine the future will be GitHub for VCS, issues, project management and Azure for CI/CD, testing and deployment.
Yep - and because DNA's base pairing rules are so well-studied, so predictable, and information-carying, we can use DNA for its material properties in addition to or even separate from its genetic properties. In terms of software, Shawn Douglas built CADNano [1] - software to do precisely that. By using DNA as a material it can be useful in its own right - with all sorts of interesting 3D structures, 3D logic, and with atomic precision, built into the encoded base pairs. But these structures generally do not interact with DNA at a genetic level in an organism.

In terms of protein design at that atomic level, the computation traditionally has relied on knowing or guessing at the structure (atomic arrangement) of the protein. And without that, there's not much to do (that's where our work picks up). A lot of that kind of protein design computation work is being done with software like Rosetta [2].

Have you ever been ill for long periods or had to care for parents, siblings or other loved ones being ill? Many people do. Of course they can choose not to care for anyone and leave but many times other people come into the picture when making decisions on where to spend your time. It's hard to make any plans in situations where you have no idea on the health of those you're taking care of.
Not to defend GP's post, but NAFTA and EU are vastly different. Without proper visas, I cannot settle in Canada, I cannot work in Canada, I cannot vacation for longer than 6 months in Canada.

I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to. I think it would be nice to move freely between the NAFTA nations.
If I could ever get over the fact that they are using Wordpress, I still wouldn't be able to explain how a single person can set dates and publish stories on their own?!
Very true. In the end it comes down to feeling safe. I can handle a lot of problems easily if I know that I won't end up on the street.

When I was unemployed for a while even the smallest problem was all-consuming because I had to worry about losing my last money and everything else.
Sure, in the sort run lots of pain from this. However maybe in the long run brexit will be amazing for britain. The UK has a highly educated, creative, dynamic work force with strong anglo saxon work ethic. This is the country that invented industrialization and modern democratic governance. We stand at the dawn of a new era of technological shifts that are going to require radically different political/economic systems - I would not bet against the UK being the place that invents those systems now it's free from the shackles of the EU. Note I voted remain but the short term economic arguments don't carry much weight to me, all we know is that we don't know as there is so much uncertainty here.
