Of course it can be 10 times better. It's so trivial to be 10 times better.

First you checkout the project from the repo and it just works, doesn't matter GIT, SVN or whatever. How many plugins does it take to checkout a project in jenkins? Is there even a git plugin working nowadays?

Then, you build the project. If it's any of C# or Java for example, the ant/maven/sln/nuget files are detected automatically, just click next and it's built. Does jenkins even understand what is a requirements.txt? Hint: It's not a bash script.

The JVM and the Visual Studio are detected automatically on all the build slaves and the project is already building in the right places. If you want to aim for specific tool versions, there are presets variables on all hosts to filter where to build and to use in build scripts so paths are always right. How is the build matrix plugin in Jenkins lately? Broken as usual?

The project is built, or is it building? It's easy to tell because there is a clear colored status icon and the estimated time to completion is displayed. Teamcity offers that out of the box for maybe 15 years now. Well, jenkins finally got a progress bar too a couple years ago. I guess I'm defeated, Jenkins caught up on basic core functionality only a decade late, I can't justify to pay for working and polished tools anymore. Well, I hope our sysadmin will install the Extra Status Icon Plugin or we'll have to live without the big colored circles next to the build.
Two aspects: 'skybrian touched the first one - back in the days RMS formed FSF, there wasn't as sharp distinction between users and programmers. Things have changed, but in some aspect not for the better. Users are now a completely separate class and treated as children/monkeys by our industry; from "bicycles for the mind", computers turned into glorified mail-order catalogs. That's tangential, but I would only say that where skybrian's Apple-like companies are failing users is by making everything easier except being a proficient computer user.

Second aspect: while freedoms 1 and 3 are developer-specific, they assume and secure an open marketplace. They're about the same thing that "Right to Repair" movement fights for in the hardware space - the ability for me, as a lay user, to ask a professional friend/neighbour, or a local shop, to pretty please fix/modify my software/hardware. The ability for that friend/local professional to perform that work legally. Where Open Source only allows this to happen, FSF-style Free Software tries to force it to happen, by legally ensuring the benefits I ordered and someone made for me could be used by the entire community.

It's a hard sell for businesses earning money by making software, but from the user's perspective it's important on a longer-term - particularly if said user believes in competitive markets, as competition in a market doesn't really work unless it happens over a commodity.
Fragmentation will mean that a very much larger number of pages than is needed to store the heap will be frequently referenced, thus thrashing. Even with SSDs thrashing would be too painful.
I'm going to argue against this. Safe food and medicine have been an enormous benefit to everybody: we don't have to risk having food poisoning if we choose the wrong grocery store. Besides that, if we don't regulate the oligopolistic markets we have in everything today (how many pharma companies are there?) we are in enormous danger of everyone losing confidence in food and medicine supplies. Nobody wants that.

Instead, I'm going to argue that the entire problem here is a combination of regulatory capture and monopoly power. The onerous regulation is bad for innovation, sure, but it's also great for any participants already in an oligopolistic market. The participants don't have to worry about innovators, who can't possible comply with ridiculous procedures, entering the market and decreasing profits. This is not unlike the defence industry. Boeing, Lockheed-Martin and Raytheon dominate. The bizarre security clearance and DoD procurement process keep out everybody else.
I want pause on breakpoint <x> in cloud worker <y> from my IDE — tooling which does not assist me to bring that about is working against my needs.
This is a good point, and very true of Goop-style products. But I have to say, it's hard for me to reserve much charity for the way US medical regulation operates.

Homeopathic medicine got a special exemption from FDA coverage, freeing them from basic standards like filing new-drug applications and testing finished preparations for strength and purity. Most of them are just water, but some retain enough strength and toxicity to do serious first-order harm, and many are marketed for treating serious conditions that absolutely need real treatment. It took 80 years to start making progress on that ludicrous exemption, while snake venom applied and antibiotics forgone inflicted untold harm.

At the far end of the spectrum, medical devices are intensely regulated but medical procedures aren't. A mobility-assist for putting socks on has to be marketed with goofy infomercials to steer clear of FDA burdens, but a new approach to treating fibroid tumors can be deployed with no long-term studies - and then turn out to rapidly progress minor cancers to metastatic ones, and then stay in regular use with no informed consent while doctors debate.

None of this means drug regulation lacks merit, or should be pared back without serious planning and study. But the current state of affairs is so absurdly arbitrary, and so covered in the scars of ancient political squabbles, that major improvements look not only possible but obvious.
The thing that pisses me off is that there are so many startups or companies where insurance companies would benefit from providing service to product mappings much more smoothly and efficiently.

You should have to “think about wngaging with insurance companies”

There should be a fucking marketplace and a brokering system already in place that your products can be submitted to and that system gets you engaged with the insurance companies and thus your ultimate customers.
Its a franchise, not a company store; a narrower rule for franchises in Israel might mean that instead of 1 in Israel, they have 0. They make more money off 1 than 0, so...

Were Burger King to actively seek to compete in Israel, they might adopt a kosher policy (and might also enforce it on franchisees, in order to protect the brand image). But since they aren't doing that, why bother with extra restrictions on who can pay them money to run a franchise?
"As long as that's the case..."

As long as the hypothetical you stated without evidence is true, then we must accept the false choice you presented?

I may have failed to understand your point, or you may have failed to make one.
Why does it matter where it was discovered? Most drugs are marketed globally, so it does not matter where the pharmaceutical company is based. The cost-benefit analysis is the same for a British company and a US company.

It is still possible that the US market subsidises drug development if it happens in the UK.
How to Delete Saved Messages on iPhone
Renting from a coworking space (We've never used WeWork but have multiple others) is generally month-to-month with a one-page contract and I can pay with a credit card.

Getting an office lease is a huge process with a stack of contracts, pushy agents, ridiculously long leases, misleading prices, hidden costs, furnishing, and establishing all the necessary services. And if you're a small company, the owners are expected to personally financially guarantee the lease.

> true medieval guilds were not socialist - they were christian - and cannot truly be recreated within a classical liberal / free-market economic system since they were protected cartels with monopoly power over production/distribution within their respective territories granted by the local aristocracy with the blessing/protection of the church.

There is a tradition of Christian Socialism, arguably including the Primitive Church, but the rest of your critique is spot-on.

> this is not a judgement or value statement either way - but a point that painting historical guilds as 'socialist' (with the implicit marxist class progression from feudalism -> capitalism -> socialism this entails), is revisionist, and misrepresents (hides?) the actual historical structure of which guilds were a part, and 'steals the credit' via misattribution to an ideology which actually sought the destruction of the remnants of the guild-based system.

Such Presentism is sadly rife whenever non-historians try to make a point about comparing modern ideas to historic ones. The idea that people in the past weren't moderns with worse hygiene, but instead had their own worldview and goals divorced from the modern mindset, is quite lost on them.
Android 7 Cellular MiTM
Indeed! Unless this is a part of Google Maps, Waze, Uber, or Lyft, some extremely popular app on our phones is doing location and activity monitoring no one was aware of. It's especially frightening because this data could be used to deny people reasonable insurance rates in the future and they weren't even aware they were being logged.

I'm curious how they know a person is definitely driving and not a passenger.

Isn’t copyright violation generally a civil matter rather than criminal?

In Australia it can become criminal if the violation was of a commercial nature.
That's hardly a plot twist. See Coinbase Inc. buying Earn.com for $100m in order to pay out the VCs that invested in both.
I can’t give you an answer as to why the stock has moved the way it’s moved in the short term of this past week.

What I can tell you concretely though was that Pinterest made the willful decision to lower its initial pricing of its IPO to below its valuation (75 million shares priced between $15-17 for a total valuation of ~$11 billion compared to its original supposed pre-IPO valuation of ~$12 billion). This shows a clear lack of confidence in the company. This is a fact, not an opinion.
Hitler Reacts to Functional Programming
No doubt if they expand into Jerusalem they will be. They may have wanted to have a restaurant in Tel Aviv that can be open on Shabbos for non-Jewish tourists and business travelers. (Though the food is so good in Israel, I wonder why anyone would seek out a burger chain.)
So. A couple that interest you. Plus an irregular check on some others. And occasionally a patch.

So, three-five mailing lists. Vs. the convenience of a single login and actual conversations you can follow in issues/PRs. With a one-click PR request if I want to send a patch (that can be easily discussed, annotated, cross-linked to issues and other PRs).
Any timeline on the s-1 release?
Max was designed properly and pilots did not 'completely' follow procedure
Living in a democracy doesn't mean that the government reacts instantly to changes in public opinion that take place after many decades of the opposite view. Our federal system complicates things even more. Drug possession is prosecuted at the state level, not the federal level (as opposed to trafficking, which is handled at the federal level). Almost all the places where the majority of people support legalizing marijuana have already decriminalized or legalized possession. There are half a dozen marijuana shops in the Oregon town here my mother in law lives. Here in DC, there are intersections where the smell of marijuana is incredibly strong. (E.g. near the Chipotle on 5th & L.) That has taken a lot of wind out of efforts to legalize marijuana at the federal level.

State legalization has also changed what pushing for federal legalization means. Making marijuana legal at the federal level would eliminate federal support for the remaining states where people want to keep marijuana illegal. And it would enable the development of inter-state marijuana businesses, which even people who support legalization don't necessarily support.
I really love the ideas/architecture behind Concourse, but there's a few things that disqualified it in favour of Jenkins for a new CI pipeline during prototyping:

- no hooks to manage worker scaling (https://github.com/concourse/concourse/issues/993). Our builds are _heavy_ and we'd run up an enormous AWS bill without something like (https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Amazon+EC2+Plugin)

- no way to restart a build, resorting to 'empty commits', which is a huge red flag for useability (https://github.com/concourse/concourse/issues/413)

- limited documentation/examples (network effect)
This is discussed a bit in the rationale and alternatives section of the original spec: https://github.com/gravitational/wormhole/blob/master/docs/r...

To try and summarize without speaking too much for projects that I'm not intimately familiar with, Wormhole takes the approach of automating the configuration of WireGuard to create a full mesh encrypted network.

Other approaches take a much more comprehensive approach, of trying to solve key signing, identity, revocation, offload to the kernel and intercept via sidecars (using ebpf), etc. These tools come with many features and an inherent complexity, where I believe there is room for a simpler tool that is easier to use and troubleshoot.

- It's kind of slow (page load/interaction wise)
- There are ~5 different places where every setting could be and it's always the last one you look

Apart from that, for internal company use it's been one of my favourite PM tools I've worked with. For open source with open communities, it's just too much overhead to manage.
There are large agricultural subsidies on meat, and on corn (which the cows are fed). You can't make a veggie burger out of just corn, so it has to use less underpriced components.
Personally, I use Nix to create my Python virtual environments. That gets the isolation, replicability, and deployability that the author wants, without the heavyweight infrastructure of Docker.
Another thing which helps is doing a project in a language or framework which you're not yet as familiar with - hard to get in analysis paralysis when you don't even know how to start the analysis. The thing is if you're choosing a language or technology which is extremely appropriate to the task, for example learning a grammar builder IDE to tackle a parsing problem, you'll hopefully still produce a "good" (or especially, "good enough") solution despite your beginner status. And then maybe when you come back to the domain you had analysis paralysis in you might have a better perspective.

I like this approach :) It’s pragmatic.
Super-excited to hear that Grid layout will be coming soonish. Yoga has been fantastic in making Flexbox available "everywhere", but Grid is wonderful for UI layout in a way that Flexbox isn't.

Adorable Web Development Tricks
Fair enough, but if you take IBM's best product it looks like a great biz. The same goes for GE and any other currently struggling old economy biz. Even for places as colossally messed up as Deutsche Bank, you can spin the same yarn.
Is add one thing to this great advice, schedule downtime for yourself and make sure you stick to it. Willpower/discipline is a finite resource, make sure you don't burn out.

If you look at top athletes, none of them work at 100% all hours of the day. Mental stamina is just the same as physical, your body needs that recovery time and will get stronger because of it.

I believe the majority of We Work rentals are now to large companies.
Why regulation? It's working quite well so far. Let the market work things out.
Arguably the loss to the brand comes from the cheapening of the product due to people buying counterfeits making it seem less exclusive since too many people have what appears to be the product.
It's a misconception that you need a lot of memory to run a Java app. Just for example:h ttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19728329

> > - the billions GC settings that you need to try to make something work at scale ( hello Elasticsearch )

> that's because of the VM

It's not even that. Python has a VM. However, the JVM (at least up to version 8) was tuned for throughput at the expense of latency by default. Starting with Java 9 I believe, the G1GC has become default, and there are new GCs being worked on right now for even lower latencies for huge heaps (in the TB range). golang would not even fair close in such applications because of its limited gc.
Cyclone-4M Program: Canso Spaceport Focus Report (March 2019) [pdf]
This is an interesting take, but I think you can take it too far. Kind of like if a kid gives up on math as soon as it becomes difficult and decides "I'm not good at math". Skills can be learned. Discipline can be developed. But yeah if you put in the effort to learn how to finish and are consistently miserable, maybe stop.
Sorry I realized I didn't directly answer your question. It was used, ~64000 miles and ~7 years old when I got it.
Efficiency, likely. Using standard function call syntax lets you know all arguments up front. Using the stream operator doesn't. There's likely a way to do it with templates, but this is easier.

Edit: this also lets them assert on argument types.
I just want to congratulate you on launching a product that I hope will have an incredibly positive impact for numerous families. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor!
Food Singularity: Sushi Combined with Biometrics and Genomics
This may be true to your feed, but it's not true to the industry.

Every DTC brand, from ice cream to back massagers, is using influencers as part of their marketing mix. And while getting a sale on first view is great, that is rarely the strategy. Instead, they refine their list and look alike audiences and hit potential customers with ads over and over and over. When done correctly, the brand gets added to the influencers Business account, gaining access to their audience. They then turn the 'organic' post into a retargeted ad. These make a killing.
Are you reading some of the other comment threads he's participating in? It seems like he's taking this whole thing very personally, and it's hard to pin down exactly what he's trying to say when he won't calm down.

He wants me to call him, as if escalating this will be worth it...

He didn't even answer your very reasonable question above. Don't you wonder why that is?
Wework is open all night right?

same location, so i don't have to have a daytime spot i prefer and a night time spot thats just open.

Also you get a say in the space cuz you pay. The coffee shop might just get rid of your favorite little corner at some point.

I don't use wework, so idk.
Robotics startup Anki is shutting down
Confidence is the fundamental currency that determines whether the economy trends towards growth or recession.

And recent events by these privately held companies show a keen lack of confidence in my opinion. That they’ve all chosen to IPO now at the same time gives you a strong indicator to look at. You might disagree with my final determination on what it means exactly, but the fact that it’s happening is undeniable.

As to macroeconomic indicators, I think the majority of them are largely useless as predictors and at best self-fulfilling in nature.
I've known several vegetarians (not even vegan) who after being such for several years would frequently get significant stomach issues upon eating vegetarian meals cooked on surfaces used to cook (especially red) meat, so while its true that vegetarianism and veganism are not allergies, I think it may be significantly less accurate to assume this means that they aren't associated with digestive sensitivity to cross-contamination with meat products.

They now have configuration includes and cross project pipeline triggers, which is part of what GP seems to be looking for.

Personally I’ve found that for my past and present use cases generating any needed step (e.g test matrix) e.g with a script is much more flexible, predictable, and reproducible since the generated result can be versioned.

I also successfully used various custom runners including baremetal Windows ones and virtualised macOS ones inside VirtualBox.
Influencer is such a stupid word, but we are all influenced by others. "Famous" people, commenters on Hacker News (I think I'm going to buy a cow after this [0]), and friends can all sway a purchase choice.

I never understood the purpose of dashboards. In the context of CI, I see three use cases and there is always a better solution than a dashboard.

1. Detect broken builds. It is better to actively notify somebody by mail, chat, whatever.

2. Prevent broken master. It is better to reject the pull request/patch before it becomes a problem.

3. Analyse the system. It is better to download the data and enable the use of whatever analysis tools are suitable.
This is awesome, thank you!

Used nested R-Trees in a personal project recently (sharded in memory spacial db for a game) which is not something I thought I'd ever have to do.
The %w (or %v) identifier must be at the end for the magic to work, but you can still meaningfully format things in front of the wrapped error, e.g. fmt.Errorf("Write(%s): %w", filename, err)

Supermarket prices are an unfair comparison; you should compare with a mini-market that provides a microwave for customer use, as you don't need to heat up the McDouble.
> While WeWork’s revenue is growing quickly — it doubled last year to $1.8 billion — so are its losses, which more than doubled to $1.9 billion. Those companies, like WeWork, Uber and Lyft, have argued that growing quickly is more important, and will eventually prove more lucrative, than breaking even right now.

I'd agree with this outlook if this wasn't a 10-year old company that's already burned through billions in VC money. When you account for that, the "losses-now-are-good" logic only makes sense if you're a VC who needs to make their money back.
Not just the gullible, but the desperate, too.

There's another class of people that fall for this stuff, and I am not sure what label (if any) could apply, but I think of people like Steve Jobs.

Arguably, his diagnoses was essentially a death sentence, because few live long from what he had. That said, I don't think he was necessarily gullible. Desperate? Maybe - who wouldn't be? But he had immense resources at hand, but squandered them on treatments known for being snake oil at best.

Maybe fearful would be proper - perhaps coupled with desperation - leading to easier to take, but less effective (where "less" could equal or be very, very close to zero) treatments, vs the conventional ones?

I could see that, and emphasize on that choice as well.
