"Gitlab is to GitHub what AWS is to DigitalOcean." Wow, that is an amazing way to explain our ambition, thank you!
Hi! Thanks for the feedback. We'd love to be as lightweight as Gitea, but our end goal of being a single application for the entire DevOps lifecycle means that we are naturally more complicated. We are always working toward improving our resource usage though! You can see our issues around performance here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues?scope=all&utf...
Grafana. It's free and open source. However, it's limited to a 5 seconds refresh rate and doesn't stream the data in - only polls data
The question no-one asked.

How difficult is it for BYD to clone his autopilot chip and will that stop the Chinese from exporting knockoffs because I'm certain they can close the data and software gap instantly by swapping out a harddrive or 10.

I think he's got 10 years before the chinese chip fabs catch up.

Musk's question how did Tesla build the best AI chip for driving in the world without being a chip designer was the far more interesting yet overlooked question.

Musk has a talent for framing problems appropriately so that optimum solutions emerge with a minimum deployment of capital. And he's not secretive about it, he applies his training in physics and phenomenal knowledge to make good bets and eventually identifies and acknowledges his mistakes.

Tesla doesn't have an advertising budget. Musk couldn't care less about it's shareprice but I think he will be a bit perturbed if identical technology emerges faster than he foresaw as was Apple when the Android ecosystem emerged.

As it stands with his chip and data it is game set and match for autonomous driving which is a software game and the leader takes all the data and a fully autonomous vehicle is worth significantly more than non-autonomous vehicle and if you are data scientist you probably want to work for the company with the best data-set and highest remuneration.

The data is the gold and Tesla owns it and no-one can steal it and use it for at least 10 years by which point battery vehicles will be cheaper than petrol vehicles which is the major problem with the model 3. It is currently uneconomic against a toyota corolla but gains ground with every piece of battery and energy storage research that musk does not pay for.
If you accept extraterrestrial origin, then it seems a stretch to assume that they’re remotely controlled. It would make much more sense to have a quasi-intelligence control the device in many cases. Why use a probe or other closed-loop, deterministic system when you can use what amounts to the intelligence of a trained animal?
Yet when people offer s/white/black, or s/men/women, they're usually advised that their tears are delicious, false equivalency, or that they need to consider historical contexts. So the substitution argument is no longer recognized in polite society.
shouldn't rust being faster than C be something of a red flag that they aren't quite the same algorithm? Or that the algorithm is sub-optimal?
Freedombox has a mail server planned.
Just remember then that it's all up to you to avoid the autonomous vechicles.
Damn this is an hard question everytime people ask, I've been lucky af to be honest, long story short:

I was a low experience dev and I had a relationship with a girl. She had this best friend which I've never seen, maybe for gelousy at that time, until that day, we met, he was totally the opposite from the man of that I thought, he was nice instead, and asked acute question, he was really really smart, so we started to go out all together in weekends, get known each other, that was the begin of a long friendship.
Few months later that day he proposed me (Americans might get confuse) this business idea aimed to solve our specific problem as students and I felt in love with it so we started to work on the project together.

I feel lucky because I've never felt this synergy on building something with anyone, tackling problems on every aspects (from Tech to Legal to Design to Marketing and so on) with such positive energy and "openmindness" to handle problems and even pivot if needed. This is one of the ideal aspects of any cofounder, Luca thinks (and I freaking agree) that cofounders relationship has to be genuine as old-friends relationships balanced by a spontaneous mindset to obsessively stay up-to-date with every movement just like having a wife that stresses you on chat like "Where you at?" but that's because she loves you, we instead love the idea which the company puts its values on.

What is your story?
Lightweight and it's simple for non devs to pick up the interface as well, using it across multiple companies, zero complaints.
Andrej is the guy doing Telsa's neural network for their FSD hardware. I truly appreciated his talk during the autonomy reveal the other day.
ESL as well. I think it might have to do with tuning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_tuning) which is usually done before a concert. So it'd be: ready yourself to make a scene.
> Musk couldn't care less about it's shareprice

seems to be constantly tweeting about it though.
First of all, I disagree with this premise, as the overwhelming majority of music either (1) doesn't have a particular story behind it at all or (2) becomes popular, and then people learn the story behind it.

Even accepting the premise, what happens when the next artist with a great story is simply using MuseNet to write their emotional pieces and passing it off as human? They'll be functionally the same, yet it still feels like something was lost.
A good time to plug aluminum and glass, two materials which are infinitely recyclable.

Both Aluminum and Glass are chopped up into tiny pieces, then melted into a "slag". The high temperature and chemistry allows both Aluminum and Glass to be 100% as effective as their originals. Its a true, infinite recycling process.

In contrast: Plastics and paper are "downcycled". High-quality printer paper gets turned into newspaper, then newspaper gets turned into cardboard. Each step, the recycled paper loses value due to contamination. In effect, paper and plastic cannot be "purified" like Aluminum or Glass.

IIRC, Type6 Plastic can only be turned into the foam for carpeting, for example. Some plastics, like HDPE or Type5 (Polypropylene) are highly-recyclable... but no plastic is as good as aluminum or glass. All plastics undergo some degree of "downcycling", where each recycling iteration loses value.
My main experience with lard as a younger person is as the white cubes of deliciousness in mortadella, my favorite sandwich meat.

I have never seen lard that I know of aside from that.
If I'm not wrong, you can use directly the br tag in your markdown (instead of the invisible double white space) to mark end of line. That's enough for me
Quantum computer prospects improve on the surface
re: great British baking show - caster sugar is also hard to find in the US. (you can buy superfine but it only comes in very small bottles and is very expensive)
Software based on that still exists and it’s a hell to maintain.
PubNub Is Hiring Developer Relations Engineers
The last time I looked, I thought setting up a margin account made shares available for borrowing, but I've never received interest from borrowed shares. The interest goes to the broker?
> They can and do already track your app usage (you can see this if you check your usage history on the Google data dashboards).

Is my Android data usage by app stored somewhere online by default? I thought the stats are only kept locally at the OS level, and are not connected to my Google Account.

In any case, "Digital well-being" seems to be about tracking screen time, not data usage. And as far as I understand, it sends that data back to Google.
> More generally, Am I willing to save 30% on bread crumbs or soap if it means buying a 6-12 month supply up-front? Yes, that’s a great ROI!

This depends on the size of your home and the amount of storage space you have. I am generally unwilling to buy a 6+ month supply of household goods because real estate is significantly more expensive than toilet paper.
Different languages' benchmarks might not be equally well-written / optimized. In particular, I'd expect C and Rust to be very close to each other, and a 20% gap between them is a red flag.

Rules like "code should be simple, as in, easy to read and understand" are also hard to judge, especially near the top of the list where there's a lot of pressure to optimize. Is SIMD easy to understand? What if it's in a library? What if the library was written specifically for this benchmark? Etc. I think https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/ has to deal with every possible permutation of this debate.
Why? Is the goal to have good groceries nearby or is it some kind of a war against “big” companies?
Overview of the three main improvements in this release:

1. Pipelines on the Operations Dashboard The Operations Dashboard allows users to have an overview of project information throughout the entire GitLab instance. You add individual projects, one by one, so it’s flexible to whichever specific projects are of interest. Also, the pipeline status information is added to the Operations Dashboard. This should help teams view the pipeline health of all the projects that they care about, together in a single interface. [1]

2. Pipelines for Merged Results When working in a feature (source) branch, it’s normal to have it diverge over time from the target branch if you aren’t rebasing frequently. This can result in a situation where both the source and target branch’s pipelines are green and there are no merge conflicts, but the combined output will result in a failed pipeline due to an incompatibility between the changes. By having your merge request pipeline automatically create a new ref that contains the combined merge result of the source and target branch, then running the pipeline against that ref, GitLab can better ensure that the combined result will be valid.Please note that if you are using merge request pipelines (in any capacity) and you use private GitLab runners that are version 11.8 or older, you will need to upgrade them to avoid running into the issue described in gitlab-ee#11122. Users of GitLab’s shared Runner fleet are not impacted. [2]

3. Suggest changes to multiple lines Collaborating on merge requests often involves spotting problems and suggesting a solution. In GitLab 11.6, we introduced support for suggesting a change to a single line. With 11.10, changes can now be suggested to multiple lines when leaving a comment on a merge request diff, and accepted with a single click, by any user with write permissions to the source branch.

Wasn’t Julia specifically designed to be easy to optimise? It’s not quite like other higher level languages a they thought about performance first.
Because they cut the US flag planting scene and then when responding to the hubbub over it the staff and Armstrong's sons said it was more of a moment for humanity as a whole. You dont see why some Americans would be angry? I mean the arms race era wasnt even that long ago and the project was literally an American (and some canadian) effort borne out of nationalism in the first place.

I don't think it's necessary. Good software engineers are so scarce you should just grab the first adequate one who comes your way. When I was in the position of interviewing candidates, 9 out of 10 couldn't solve the most trivial of programming tasks.
I keep seeing this bad advice: we recommend ... changing passwords frequently from large corporations who can certainly afford to hire people who know better, and double check the veracity of PR statements they issue. So what sort of incompetency is this?

The article also doesn't go into any detail how the fraud is happening, if the app itself is compromised, or something in McDonald's app payment backend is compromised. Which is worse? Both seem incredible.
Apple’s m.o. early on was a take it or leave approach with the carriers. Usually the largest carrier in a market would refuse their demands but a smaller carrier would acquiesce. Then the larger carrier would start losing customers since they didn’t have the iPhone and they would come to the table.
Other animals are alive and conscious, but I'm pretty sure they don't have a sense of self.

In the quoted statement, only one of those statements--"defying the laws of physics"--is perhaps beyond the purview of the military. We don't allow aircraft to willy-nilly cross borders, and neither does any other country in the world. (Border crossing is obviously permitted, but there are procedures and rules to follow. International incidents can arise when they aren't.) Also, using the example of deploying a nuclear device may be cliche, but what about a conventional weapon? Should there be any less concern about an unregulated aircraft capable of dropping explosive ordinance?

At a fundamental level, any military is tasked with guarding the land its sovereign occupies. You can't blame them for being careful because there's always the small, remote chance that an adversarial, human government could inflict harm if the military isn't looking. But that's precisely it: no one knows where these craft come from. Based on the hard information available to us the public, it's equally possible that the craft came from another galaxy, Mars, Russia, or Canada. We just don't know, and we can't just sit back and watch because there may be a legitimate threat.
This is terrible. What prevents them from doing the same to android phones and tablets?
This happened to me. I was working 40 hours per week but saying I was working 75 hours per week (without really measuring it). Then I got a second job which made it more important to manage my time effectively (including measuring my time). With the second job, I actually started working 72 hours per week and realized how hard it is to work that much time due to the necessities in life (sleeping, eating/shopping, bathing, commuting, ect) not to mention all the distractions that come up during work when you think you have more then 40 hours to complete all your work.

I recommend anyone try to work that much for a few months, it really puts perspective on how limited our time is and the value of time management.

I think the argument is that all of our personal servers should be treated as such (that is, not appliances that require zero maintenance), and that this is a step in that direction.

All the router hacking of 2018 was possible because we treated our home Internet services as dumb-connections instead of treating them as the vulnerable “Internet Services” that they are.
I was on a zoom call with a coworker. It turns out you can order things over zoom. She now has 10,000 rolls of toilet paper queued up.

I am curious how sensitive these devices are. If I add a sub-audible track to a youtube video, could I get millions of people to order a case of beef jerky?
What about a slower event like gaining of losing weight, does that frustrate such systems?
I've heard that you can make it in your food processor, takes a couple minutes. I've never tried it but Bob's Red Mill thinks it can be done.
I think that when placed against each other in this hypothetical, yes one would naturally side with a human (even if it is just out of solidarity), but what about when humans (who already claim the fame from songs written by other humans) claim the fame for song written by computers--that have no legal recourse? Would we just assume the music claimed by a human, was originated by a human?
What a fantastic post, thank you for this.
MySQL 8.0.16 released: finally honoring CHECK constraints
C and Rust have been trading blows on the language benchmark games for a while now which dictates the algorithm used. From my experience, it's relatively easy to accidentally write fast Rust, but incredibly hard to write fast C.

That's funny, just the other day I needed some lard for a paté. I called around without luck and eventually bought suet from a specialty butcher and left it in the crock pot on low overnight.

Then I needed another half-pound and tried calling up the butcher at our local grocery store. He said he could set aside some suet for me, and I picked it up later that day. It was less than a dollar a pound. He said as long as I called in the morning he should have some for me, but otherwise they just tossed it.

When I was Googling for how to render lard, the recipe I landed on had a long story about how it was Canadian canola farmers who killed lard. I guess it's always nice having someone to blame. :-)

Anyway I'm saving the paté for Sunday, so I can't yet tell you how it turned out. :-)
Ugh, why don't you go back to 4chan or breitbart or wherever it is you racist pieces of shit spend your time fapping?
Not entirely: the standard behaviour of navigation on iOS is to allow swiping from only the left edge to go back. It seems that Instagram added the ability to swipe left from anywhere on the screen, not just the edge.
agreed, it captures mostly rhythmical elements which make it sound "like some music" but it tends to sound like a broken record soon. Maybe its decoder was not designed to capture very long-term dependencies and that makes it sound so "myopic". It s very promising though and it seems in the future we 'll have half-decent pieces suitable e.g. for background music.
Maybe it should be more stressful. VR can deliver this, preferably with real driving controls and full physical motion like a professional flight simulator.

VR would let people practice with kids running out in front of the vehicle, with moose on the road, with spins on ice, with downed power lines, with floodwaters, with a blown front tire at highway speed, with the car in front swerving to reveal a sofa on the road, with windows suddenly fogging up, and so many other troubles that are hard to safely practice in the normal way. VR would let us train people to avoid rolling a vehicle off the road in a panic when an animal crosses the highway. VR would let learners drive for 6 hours of monotonous highway in the dark, proving that they can do it without becoming too drowsy to operate the vehicle.
What is "better mental health" in this context? It's pretty well established that rates of mental health issues are greater among those below the poverty line - see, for example, these data from 2015: https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_2720/...

If you're talking about general "level of happiness", there is evidence for the "money doesn't buy happiness" meme, but that is more the product of the hedonic treadmill than anything else. Our brains are good at convincing us that our current situation is okay, but that doesn't mean that poverty doesn't have very real effects on the basic services needed to function in our society.
Apart from the big transit-friendly metro areas like New York and Chicago, where else will you not be penalized for being carless?

Even in Chicago, I often feel like the city is giving me a middle finger for not owning a car ... Urban planning and zoning regulations in the US as a whole favor cars over pedestrians.
That is so obvious - just hire people smarter than you.

But that is so hard: we have pride, we have "company culture", we are stubborn, we are talking about "A players", etc. etc.

So yes - try to make interviews structured and organized so that there is no random noise.
shouldn't rust being faster than C be something of a red flag that they aren't quite the same algorithm? Or that the algorithm is sub-optimal?

The difference isn't much. And Rust is more like FORTRAN. Maybe a bit faster than C, but can't do the gymnastics with pointers that C can.

An update on our workplace commitments
Because some support FB's mission of giving people the power to build community and bring the world closer together?

Why majority thinks that everything what FB does is necessarily bad? It's not true at all and plainly evil propaganda.
On the other side, I know some investment bankers and they work more than 60 hours per week. They look unhealthy to me :)
I also wish Tesla the best of luck, but Musk isn't saying he can get to FSD "in a few years" - he said by the end of this year. This is the hype being railed against. I'm confident that they can solve the FSD problem, but I'm not convinced they can do it faster than of Elon time.
I have so many questions.

How exactly does this tokenization of the cards work? If the token is equivalent to the card, then it doesn't really provide any security since theft of the token would still allow the thief to buy things.

Does McDonald's do any fingerprinting of the user device? It seems like the token should be encrypted using the device fingerprint to ensure that the token can only be used from the device itself.

What encryption does the McD's app use to talk to their servers? Is someone snooping tokens, device fingerprints and user credentials to pull this off?

How has a card network not put a boot to McDonald's ass yet? I know McDonalds is big, but so are the card networks and the card networks are very serious about PCI data.

How does the refund process work around this app? It seems hard to believe that one person is eating all the food that's being ordered. So either the thief is a very fat man, is a Robin Hood figure who distributes McD's to the poor, or has figured out a flaw in the McDonalds process that lets him refund transactions in such a way that he can recover the cash value, or cash equivalent, of the order. The last seems most likely to me.
This is less fashionable now in the era of Electron apps - users are starting to expect apps that look _the same_ everywhere.

See VSCode, Discord, Spotify...

It's easier to get a single code-base that 'just works' across platforms if you have an abstraction that is truly cross-platform. One of the major value propositions of developing with Electron is this ability to develop cross-platform 'with confidence' - I can build an app on Windows and be 99% sure it's going to look function the same on OSX / Linux.

> I want my macOS apps to use Mac-native UI elements, and Windows apps to use Windows-native UI elements

That's a fine goal but it means you end up needing more platform-specific code. It's a trade-off, and there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution.
Mis-configuration can also cause security issue.
