Thanks for the incredible feedback! CI/CD product director here. A few thoughts:

- Templates

We actually have done a lot here recently, we've improved includes so that they have a lot more flexibility (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#include), and have even refactored our own Auto DevOps implementation to take advantage of this: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#using-componen.... In this way, you can have included behaviors across your projects that can then be updated in bulk.

- Build results

We are planning on adding testing results over time in our vision for this year, thank you for confirming this is important from your point of view. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/1020

- Overall view of runner status

We did recently add pipeline info to the operations dashboard (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/operations_dashboard/), which I know isn't exactly what you're looking for here but we are making progress in this direction and recognize the gap.

- Dashboard

The next improvement we're making to that operations dashboard is adding environments. You can see the in-progress issue here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3713

- System wide configs

This can be achieved by using includes to set the variables, which is admittedly a workaround. We do have an open issue (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3897) to implement instance level variables that would solve this.

- Extensibility

This is an interesting one because Plugins are, at least in my opinion, what makes Jenkins a mess to use in reality and believe me, I've managed plenty of Jenkins instances in my career with lots of "cool" plugins that do something great, at least while they work. It is one of our values that we play well with others, though, so I'd be curious to work with you to understand specifically what you'd like to be able to make GitLab do that can't be done through your .gitlab-ci.yml. Our goal is that you should never be blocked, or really have to jump through hoops, but still not have to be dependent on a lot of your own code or third party plugins.
I've gotten forever accounts with shodan and a very popular vpn service, I was half expecting the service quality to at least diminish after a year or two around the positive return mark but didn't happen. They've outperformed my expectations dramatically.
No, I'm saying you only need integrity to validate you are getting the same thing each time. If I checked and made sure an image is safe, then I can save that hash and know that as long as the has matches, I'm always getting that same safe image.
I love learning Algorithms and Data Structures. The issue is that I don't get to use these frequently, not even basic DS. Most of what I need exists in the language or some framework, and if I am to implement it from scratch, I am sure I will do worse. The only time I really use this knowledge is during interviews.

Dragon Dictate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_NaturallySpeaking) worked on less capable hardware 20 years ago and didn't need to be online to do it so how come voice recognition is so bad now.

You don't even need general purpose speech recognition to call someone on your mobile, just enough to recognize a trigger sound and the name of the person you want to call. This is how I could use voice recognition on my Nokia N73 to call anyone in my address book.
Doesn't Xe(La)TeX/Lua(La)TeX produce PDFs with decent unicode search support? What issues do you have?
I doubt the value of gifted programs. All parents innately want their child to be "gifted" but they don't understand what this program really means. They basically just accelerate by full grade or two while raising the expectations for each kid to another level. This is unnecessary burden on kids with a high risk that they can lose confidence or even burn out at tender age not willing to learn anything any more. I think there are probably 1 in 1000 kids who are going to earn PhD by the age of 18. May be gifted program is great for them but for everyone else parents should probably actively avoid them.
Ok thanks I will do that. But doesn’t a figure of 50% annual churn seem much too high? To calculate the new ARR would I subtract this percentage from the ARR?

It would be such an immense help if you have some figures I could compare my answers to!
I've learned to never be charitable when it comes to corporate/marketing speak.
It's from a comment with a link to this web site.

http://www.minions.com/
> Both hash tables and binary-searchable trees are valid ways to accomplish this, with different speed tradeoffs.

Isn't a hashtable faster than a binary tree for basically all purposes? The only reason to use a tree is if you want to keep the data in order, but the only reason to do that is if the data has a meaningful order!
So we should have lower standards for “major newspaper companies” as opposed to blogs?
I disagree. War and Peace was written 150 years ago and depicts events happening over 200 years ago - the difference between that society and the one you grew up in is far greater than the difference between modern Russia and modern US. Just to give one example (ironic in this context): the language usually spoken by most characters is not Russian, it’s French! Something like 5% of the novel is literally in French, and has to be translated for modern Russians (French was the “official” language of Russian nobility 200 years ago).
Hey there, CI/CD product director here. We do allow scheduling/editing/deleting pipelines via code, at least via an API: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/pipeline_schedules.html

Or are you looking more for putting the values in the .gitlab-ci.yml itself? This is something we have thought a bit about, but it gets strange with branches and merges where it's not always clear you're doing what the user wants as the different merges happen.

To your second point, you might be interested in some of the primitives we're looking at building next here: https://about.gitlab.com/direction/cicd/#powerful-integrated.... These, in concert, will help with a lot of more complex workflows.
VOIP. 150 ms max recommended, noticeable degradation of UX at 250ms. Many phone operators use wifi to connect when they can. If people's phone does not work well, they'll complain.
>But neither of these are likely an option for HBO: Increasing the bandwidth of the stream is costly, since this is being sent out to tens of millions of people — a bitrate increase big enough to change the quality would also massively swell their data costs.

So what are they charging $3 an episode for if they can't even push 10 GB for those 3 bucks ?
Sounds like a doged bullet. You might however still want to consider not enroling her in a normal school since they will surely waste her talent.
I did remote working in Thailand in a nice co-working space called Anchor Coworking [0]. I must have worked from that location for half a year or so, perhaps longer even.

In there I met a Russian who worked from that location pretty much every day. We did have nice chats often and I'd say we bonded a bit. We also lunched together and such.

Nowadays I live elsewhere in Thailand but we still check up on each other through Skype now and then. And about half a year ago he visited Chiang Mai and we met once again in real life.

For most of the other people working there it would have been harder to bond, partially due to these people working only for a short time from this co-working space. But I did have a chats with many people with many different backgrounds, so that certainly was interesting.

Nowadays I work from home. Partially because there is no decent co-working space from where I live and partially because I am a bit of a loner (einzelgänger [1] as the Germans would say) anyways, so I don't need too many people around. Partially because I live with my GF and daughter, and that's enough for me.

I wouldn't expect a younger person to have a personal website, given that it's almost impossible to come up with a domain name that's not taken. For instance, my real name is also Mark Christian. What am I going to do, register markchristian1.org? theothermarkchristian.org? Might as well not have a website at that point.
> The architecture is mundane

I take issue with this. For most of my career I worked in a standard office building. False ceiling tiles, cubicles, rectangular concrete 'tilt and pour'. It served the job well. It was relatively quiet, comfortable, intimate and fostered my productivity.

Now I work in an architectural masterpiece of modern green engineering. It is loud, impersonal, distracting, and not at all conducive to actually getting work done. It's like the people who designed the building hated engineers and typical engineering personalities and set out to design a building to torture them.

Apple has a similar problem. Apple's senior vice-president of hardware technologies Johny Srouji refused to move his team into their new, piece of shit exercise in architectural masturbation.
NYU Game Center Lecture Series Presents Daniel Benmergui
Great article. Really puts into words many complaints I have against Homebrew. The non-sudo thing doesn't bother me, its the leadership. User-hostile is definitely the way to put it. I don't anticipate leaving Homebrew any time soon, but it sure would be cool if the maintainers were nicer. A favorite thing to say is that they don't owe the users anything, but I think that they forget that a lot of users are contributors too.
And they would probably contribute more if the maintainers were a little nicer.
>>She didn't study for it as recommended by our school district.

Kind of reminds of those fortune telling scams. i.e. The cards that you deal yourself will tell you the future. They tell you not to do it a second time in a row though ( for obvious reasons)

You showed too much respect for something not worthy of respect in my opinion.
Hi @bitL, I'm the author of the article. Yes, I think deep learning is a promising solution that replaces the need for manual fine-tuning and is certainly driving momentum in optical flow research. Something you may want to look into is sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) learning (https://google.github.io/seq2seq/).
This is the only one i've heard in normal use.
Except that, you just did. :)
You don't get to expense the purchase AND depreciate the asset.

WSJ makes it easy to subscribe but hard to unsubscribe
I subscribed to the digital WSJ under a $1 for 12 weeks promotion. I later learned that after that period they were charging me almost $40 a month for the subscription. While subscribing took only a few clicks, to unsubscribe I would have to call their customer service, which is clearly a design intended to hold customers on a leash instead of quality of content. I am pretty sure this is not a technological limitation as many other digital services are able to quickly cancel subscriptions. Is that in the best interest of WSJ? This certainly guaranteed that I will never ever subscribe again to their journal. If you are considering subscribing, please don't.
Understanding Content Consumption – How to Distribute and Monetize Effectively
Again, "works incredibly well" is, in my subjective opinion, almost an absurd exaggeration. Yes, it "works", but by what criteria? If your criteria is that it should be better than no addition to the coffee at all, sure, but that is true for all creamers, for some people even the worst ones. If your criteria is that you want the taste of milk, then it really, really does not work, at all.
Try Shimmie2. It works like the danbooru or ouroboros style imageboards. Requires LAMP stack and php-gd, and ffmpeg if you want video thumbnails.

- Stores files by md5 hash and doesn't allow duplicates.

- Database is used to store tags and support searching and is not very large.

- Can tag pictures and search by tag.

- Is fast. Can handle large number of images and large number of search results.

- Can enable pools feature and arrange pictures in a pool.

- Can enable wiki feature, which while primitive, is nice for adding notes.

- Is multiuser.
So what is not "normal" school?
GitLab CI/CD product director here - we're working towards making includes more flexible to give you a lot more control. Would love your feedback on the small primitives we're looking at here: https://about.gitlab.com/direction/cicd/#powerful-integrated...

This for us represents our vision so far on where we want to take GitLab CI next and I think addresses where you see gaps with our product today - we see them too.
It's the thing I remember most from my high school curriculum because it was the most annoying part of English classes. The majority of what I was taught was boring and forgettable.

Of course not.

I don't think his numbers are super accurate in his comment, but of course he isn't proposing a solution to the housing crisis, he's offering advice to anyone thinking of moving to SF.

I offer similar advice to people who want to become commercial helicopter pilots.
I disagree, I think it's easy to look at this quote and say "yeah it doesn't really mean anything". But just because the author didn't intend for something, that doesn't mean it can't be interpreted that way.

Yes the ocean is the ocean, and the sea is the sea, and the fish is the fish, but if you were just to literally take the story at face value, it would be boring. Things come to be symbolic through their participation in the story. The fish doesn't represent anything literally. But the fish, and the man's battle with the fish, can be abstracted to any medium... that's the whole point of the fictional story. You're telling the story, but what is the point of the story, what is the subtext? The story is really about determination, and respect for another living being, the fish and the sea are simply the medium through which the real story is told.
I will never understand why people buy consoles. By doing so, rather than getting some kind of pc, you are doing nothing but paying a lot more in order to greatly restrict your options and make all your gaming utterly beholden to some corp.
It used to be the case that consoles were more convenient and faster to play games on. Now the opposite is true. To run a console game you have to make and sign into an account, be online, it will need to update its OS, then update the game, and loading times are enormous.
Yes, people get promoted for launching products, but they don't get un-promoted when the product fails 2y later, which most of them have, including 10O% of moonshots so far.
What office? Main campus in MTV is meh. But SFO / snv / the few smaller offices in redwood City and Palo Alto have some great snacks.

I'd also recommend checking out the playa Vista office in the spruce goose hanger.
It looked great for me. The really subtle distortion effects that were added into really add a dissociation effect were an amazing add. This was, and I feel quite passionately about this, one of the most entertaining, enthralling, stressful hours of TV I have ever seen. Wow. What a work of art.
This sounds exactly like Java's checked exceptions.
> Also, charts like that are very common in financial publications. The target audience knows how to read them.

Yea, I've never really understood this complaint. Except in publications targeted only at the most ignorant or innumerate audiences, it's ludicrous to claim that the only magnitude of change that can matter is one that's visible on a 0-100 scale.

Ignorant and innumerate audiences do exist, but this isn't a general-purpose argument against ever having enough respect for your audience that you can use the scale that lets you most accurately convey the data.
I think Starlink is for rural customers and can't compete with decent wired broadband. You were the one who seems to be putting it against cable (which exists in the metros, not in rural areas).

The MIT work linked in this thread calculates a total worldwide capacity in the ~20 Tbps range for Starlink.
No it isn't. There were like 100000 new tlds added. Basically any name you can think of is available on one of the tlds. Also most personal websites don't use the authors name as the domain name. Most dev blogs I have seen have some strange name but have their real name in the text of the website so it will show up when searched.
Somewhat related to my sibling comment, but at least in the bay area, I think the movement in FAANG stock prices may be playing a bigger role than interest rates. A good chunk of employee compensation at these companies is in RSUs, and the stocks have been on a tear these last 5 years. Very roughly If you got a grant worth $120k/yr 4 years ago, that would be worth about 2-3x when it vests. That is probably why we are seeing a lot of folks on here claim that FAANG is paying 500k to senior engineers. More likely they are paying ~$200k base, and the rest is coming from vested RSUs.
Hackerspaces are full of people who do it because its fun.

guerrilla knitters. billboard spraypaint agitators. music makers in pubs. choirs. scratch orchestras. the guy who makes kites or the professor who shows kids how to do astronomy on street corners.

the mens-shed movement is about older people (yes, I know the name is offputting but they aren't all men actually) who are bored and have skilz. Also, not about money.

likewise tool libraries. or, computer upcycler schemes for the unemployed: these are people who do things because they think they are worthy (tm)

It may be you need to lay it out in front, that nobody is going to get rich and very possibly building the worlds first custard-throwing robotic tyrannosaur is going to cost a lot of money, having said which ROAAAAR - Splat..
Because less scrupulous people would say they were doing the right thing when they weren't, and in a capitalist society like ours we prefer to defend profits rather than make things easier for people who are innocent.

Great article, having used both package managers I can relate. Neither one is perfect, but MacPorts tends to be FAR more reliable.

That’s a misconception. As of 2019 a properly-configured MacPorts will download almost exclusively binaries.

NYC is the largest metro ever, its size is not even comparable to bay area and still keeping its rent generally lower than bay area, even living in Manhattan is cheaper than south bay. I don't see how this can be a counterexample?
There seems to be a dogmatic insistence on the potency of the the widespread epidemic that happened after the first contact. The assertion seems to be:
1. There was a drastic fall in the population density of the natives

2. There is a critical density of population below which the indegenous people's claim on land in relinquished

3. A density of population below this was seen in North America before mass immigration of Europeans.

4. If it were not so the Settlers would have been culpable of genocide of the Natives

5. We know that 4 can't be true hence 3

phaedrus explained why use an infix operator, but why specially the shift operator?

My guess: because it has very low precedence, allowing stuff like:

> cout << a + b * c << " is the result\n";

Instead of:

> cout << (a + b * c) << " is the result\n";
gifted programs in lower income areas are often the only path for decent class rooms that kids there will have.

The "standard" class rooms are often too interrupted, occasionally by violence. I once saw an 8th grader tackle the hell out of a large administrator. The 8th grader was giant too though.
Over a decade ago, I had a website. But it seems to me that Facebook killed that urge. As people are now moving off of Facebook, it does make sense for personal websites to return. But people will return with a new perspective.

I’ve done the same, and made one via github about a year or two ago. But it is very different than my older sites. I feel like I have less room to express personal thoughts or design ideas. Everything is more scripted, sanitized, and is trying to sell me to employers.
> Mexico has a socio-economic gradient that roughy follows degree of European ancestry. That is, more European ancestry = higher class. Brazil has a similar gradient, just with the added admixture of African slaves.

The interesting part is that the gradient is self-sustaining and even self-exacerbating over time because it's based on perceived ancestry, and perceived "European ancestry" becomes a very real signal of privileged status. It's kinda ironic; it shows us that 'structural racism' and 'white privilege' can be very real social mechanisms, and what they actually look like on the ground, in a society where they've been around for many centuries! If you didn't know any better, you'd predict that SR and WP are concepts created by scholars in Latin-American Studies, to explain these societies (much like, say, the Clientelism concept was). The reality is somewhat different!

> For the life of me I don't get why non-Russian people read Russian classical literature.

> What remains is still formidable

I think you answered your own question there.

As for the rest of your comment, yes, someone without the cultural background will miss something. But the same goes for those not born in the same age, those of a different gender than the author, those of a different social standing and so on. There is always a mismatch between author and reader, the better the author the better they are able to compensate for that mismatch and the more the reader will get.

Reading an ancient and translated text is going to have those problems in spades and it can still be very much worthwhile to read them anyway, as long as you recognize the gap between you and the author.

In my own experience reading of books from different cultures and times, even in translation, is one of the most enriching things you can do short of traveling, and what with the physical limitations on time travel in some cases it is the only way in which we can experience the products of other cultures simply because they are no longer there.

What top keywords to highlight in a privacy policy for quicker reading?
I used to ignore privacy policies. Clicked "I accept" and moved on. But then I started to care about my privacy. I tried to take a minute to read and understand each privacy policy, but there where too many words to skim through.

I started working on an open-source tool to automatically highlight important keywords and action words in policy documents. Hovering over each highlighted word told you what you can expect in that section.

It's not 100% perfect but it has improved my readability of every privacy policy and terms of service.

I would like to improve the list of keywords and actions words to highlight. Maybe even add a new section to highlight.

What top privacy policy keywords and action words am I missing in this Git config?

https://github.com/weareprivacy/weareprivacy-policy-highlights/blob/master/src/config.json

Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks for caring about your privacy.
