However much I like Gitlab, the “disadvantages” section is a joke. Working alone with only video, chat and email is a huge fundamental change in how work is done and I’m pretty sure we as a society don’t really know yet what impact it has on social development, interpersonal skills, empathy, sympathy etc. they should at least acknowledge that.

That's sad - I wonder how "hackable" vector and cozmo are, now that the parent company will be gone.
Same, and I thought it was pretty awful. Sky Atlantic is 1080i IIRC, that can’t have helped.
The article said that the applicant googled the interviewer, though.
I don't see why a student should be measured differently when the developers with full-time jobs are excused with "maybe they just have a life". Some students have jobs outside of school or obligations/hobbies that take precedence over coding projects. I just think everyone should be held to the same bar, even students.
Working remotely has been the greatest thing for me. I'm more productive, less stressed, and generally happier. I can't see going back to an office even for way more money. It's just not worth it. I agree with all these points although I don't think video is necessary or should be used unless there's something to see other than people's faces.

I do wonder how they manage payroll and taxes in fifty countries though. Also how they set salaries. Is there a link to that I may have missed?
Teardown: Verifone Vx570 Card Terminal
Exactly, from what I have seen gitlab seems to have this figured out very well. From what I remember they have slack groups and video calls where employees can have casual talk about non work things so they can get to know each other better. I can't see this happening at my company if one person went remote. The most I can see happening is someone doing remote once a week so they catch up on the rest of the days and spend one day focused alone.
You fix it then, the code is on github...
Thanks! Especially thanks for the terminology, that's very helpful to look up more about it.
You can get reasonably far with the Command Line Tools, which contain clang. Xcode is only necessary for some (few, in my experience) packages.

As dsincl12 wrote it's indeed a 38": the LG 38UC99-W.

And you're correct, good catch: it's the Awesome WM running on Linux (Debian Stretch). For the geeky details: it's Awesome WM but with a patch I modified doing "useless but not useless" gaps. Basically it adds gaps between the top bar and between the windows, but it doesn't add gaps on the edge of the screen (which to me makes the more sense but YMMV).

> Too bad I can't read it because HN quotes suck on mobile

HN quotes are fine on mobile. But, just to be clear, this is how HN does quotes:

“quoted text”

And this is how HN does code blocks

HN code blocks abused for long prose quotations suck on mobile (and aren't appealing on desktop, either), but that's abusing code blocks.
Hi @adzm, I'm the author of the article - thanks for reading! I think many of the implementations involve video processing techniques such as motion-compensated frame interpolation... this seems interesting (https://www.mia.uni-saarland.de/Publications/raket-isvc12.pd...).
To me it was almost unwatchable. My eyes aren’t great, and excessive use of darkness / lack of contrast magnifies that. I have the same problem with some video games.

I was accelerated by two full grades in primary school when my parents realised that _not_ asking about gifted and talented support was going to cause me mental health issues.

My family and my school did _not_ raise their expectations of me unreasonably. I quite enjoyed the rest of my school life, where I performed quite well but I certainly did not have perfect grades or come top of every class. Didn't win the dux/valedictorian award in my graduating class of ~30 kids in my rural high school, that went to a regular non-accelerated classmate.

I don't regret it in the slightest.
How to Build a Strong and SEO Friendly Strategy for Business?
I remember spending hours and hours in Operation Flashpoint demo as a kid. Good times :)
That bias already exists, if 2 candidates with the same skill apply and one is asking for a lower pay then they are likely to be picked over the other. Why pay more for the same skill? If you want to have higher chances of being accepted then lowering your costs so you can lower your required pay is a good strategy.

I'm fairly sure the gitlab ceo commented before that they don't want to pay people way way over the local average because it could cause them to have people who don't want to be working there staying because they could never find a new job thats competitive where they are.
I hear you on plugins, and I agree they are problematic. I went back and forth on whether to include this or not TBH.

I'll give you a couple of examples of use cases for plugins:

We have an artifact repo that can store NPM, Python and other artifacts (Nexus if you're interested). I wrote a plugin for TeamCity that can grab artifacts from a build and upload them to the repository. Obviously this can be done in a script, but there are a couple of things that make doing it in a plugin nice:

- You can set it up as a reusable build feature that can be inherited from templates (i.e. all builds of a particular type publish artifacts to Nexus)

- You can get nice UI support. The plugin contributes a tab to the build page that links to the artifacts in Nexus.

- The plugin can tie in to the build cleanup process, and remove the artifacts from the repository when the build is cleaned up. This is useful for snapshot/temporary artifacts that you want to publish so people can test with, but have automatically removed later.

Another example of where plugins have proved useful is influencing build triggering: we have some things that happen in the build server, and then other stuff happens outside of the build server. When all that completes, we then want to kick off another process in the build server (that sounds abstract - think an external deploy process runs, and once the deploy stabilizes you kick off QA jobs). In TeamCity you can write a plugin that keeps builds in the queue until the plugin reports that they are ready to run.

While plugins aren't the first tool I reach for when looking at how to provide reusable functionality in a build server, I have written several plugins for both Jenkins and TeamCity. Overall, I don't think Jenkins/TeamCity's model of having plugins run in-process is a good one, and it leads to most of the problems people have with them (although TeamCity is much better here: Jenkins basically exposes most of its guts to plugins which makes keeping the API stable virtually impossible, while TeamCity has APIs specifically designed for plugins that they've been able to keep stable very effectively) A model where a plugin was just a Docker container that communicated with the build server through some defined APIs, combined with some way for it to attach UI elements to a build that could then call back into the plugin would be much nicer. This seems to be more like what Drone is doing, but haven't played around a lot with that.

I think Gitlab has a strong philosophy of wanting to build out everything that anyone will ever need, all nicely integrated, and that's a great ideal. I think in practice, it's REALLY hard to be all things to all people. People have existing systems and/or weird use cases that it just doesn't make sense to handle all of, and plugins are a useful tool in addressing that.

I work 100% remotely, or has been working like that for the last couple of years until recently where I work 80% remotely.

One thing I've noticed is that going into the office that one day is incredible enjoyable. I think I've been a bit too isolated since I don't have that many friends either and work on side projects as well.

But, working 1-2 days in the office per week feels like the optimal experience. You get the social part with meetings and you get the work alone part where you may concentrate on tasks.

I really enjoy working remotely though, it has reduced my stress levels, increased my spare time and made it available to live in a cheaper place far away from the city centre.

Things like this I enjoy, even if you're not an remote advocate the option should exist for people who want to work remotely like me. Unfortunately, too few companies allows remote work to the degree I've been lucky to get. Maybe it's time to move some repos to Gitlab!
Read the paper. It tells you why they think it's better than that. And I think that has stood so far.

> It's still just some application UI wrapped around a CoW file system.

So? In terms of usability impact I still consider it a major feature (that no amount of tweaking will get you on Linux).

> My point is you shouldn't have to install a 3rd party package manager.

But macOS has a "package manager" – it's called App Store. You and I may not think it sufficient for our (developer) needs, but we're not representative users. And for normal users and even myself it offers very useful functionality over what they'd get out of the typical native linux package manger. You can trivially reinstall everything on a different machine with a different os version (as long as it's not super ancient), and it works – no "DLL" hell, because everything is essentially self-contained. And since software is tied to your account, there is no need for crufty apt queries in the hope to get a list of packages out you can backup for reinstall elsewhere or after clean upgrade. Ubuntu has tried to establish a clone in the Snap Store, but no one I know seems to use it and I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know how compelling it is.

And I need to install a 3rd party package manager on (non-NixOS) linux distros anyway, because IMO apt, yum etc. fundamentally suck and nix is the only thing that doesn't. Funnily enough, the only really compelling UX argument for linux instead of macOS for developers I can think of apart from /proc is that with NixOS you can codify your complete machine setup in a single nice config file, making it super easy to replicate, backup or inspect.

> Or maybe you're just exaggerating all these problems to make a point [...] More importantly Linux doesn't do what you're accusing it of doing.

It's a bit annoying to be told that what I'm saying literally can't be true. It is, and I didn't tweak any sysctl params or the swap setup before I got tired of my machine grinding to a halt and me having to reset it. I can ensure you it's entirely possible to have a high grade desktop with SSD and have linux fall over swapping endlessly without even being able to move the cursor anymore. Of course this doesn't happen in "everyday" usage otherwise no one would be running linux, but it's not that hard to trigger if you're running a VMs, a few browsers and dev tooling stuff that can potentially consume large amount of memory very quickly. I've moved away from having to use these tools (and also tweaked my machine) so it hasn't been a problem off late, but I ran into it with completely stock ubuntu.
Even ignoring the racist comment, you're not too bright-

The article is not about selling subscriptions, which Tesla can still do from anywhere in the world. It's about internet connectivity and SpaceX wouldn't spend time getting approvals if they weren't actually going to sell. So it's close to becoming a reality

> In theory, if they needed slave labor, why not make slaves out of the indigenous?

It's a lot harder for an imported slave to run off than a local one. Local slave knows the land, knows where to run to, has a decent expectation that if they run there things will be better... An imported slave who runs doesn't really have that.

And where systems could be put in place to keep slaves from running, like the islands of the Caribbean? Well, those natives were worked to death, and then African slaves were imported to replace them. (And then more replacements came, because they were serious about that "working to death" thing)
A hash table doesn't always have the best constant factors, and often wastes more space.

Also when you're in a situation where you need GUIDs to guarantee unique keys, and also you use a GUID variant with timestamps, many access patterns will go sort of in order and be far faster on a tree than a hash table. Even though the GUID itself is meaningless.

From my experience, tolerance can be an issue indeed. But in the short to medium term, stimulant therapy can definitely help a lot. However, while ongoing stimulant therapy it is important to work on more durable solutions such as meditation, exercise, and diet. With this, I was able to slowly decrease my stimulant dose, and I now only use them when I really need them. Without them, I couldn't have gathered the focus I needed to sort my life out academically and professionally while developing long-term healthy habits that helped with my ADHD.

OtherOS was officially removed due to security concerns. I'm not sure how to find this offhand but my recollection is that OtherOS was used to facilitate jailbreaking the system. Its function wasn't to prevent jailbreaks but to get people interested in programming for the Cell processor.

TFA is in reference to actually Reading TFA or RTFA. Historically, it has very strong roots in Slashdot culture, which was sort of the Hacker News of the late 1990s and all of the 2000s.

Some of us here have been using terms like RTFA and TFA for twenty years, maybe longer.

This is an uncompelling piece. I believe the core argument is that you should have a personal website a) because the author was unsettled by his own lack of an online presence and b) a side benefit is that he has somewhere to use tech that is interesting to him but not something he can do at work. There's also an offhand comment buried in there about writing practice being good, and an audience making it easier to stick to.

There's not even a real attempt to turn this into a persuasive piece - it's like it started as a post "why I like having a personal website" and then got a new title and intro paragraph. I'd like to see an attempt to explain why the two major points apply to "everyone" - or perhaps the first one wasn't even intended to be an argument, just background?

That's true and bandwidth is actually something I've been wondering about: what kind of bandwidth can an inexpensive ground-based system get, reliably? Sending bits in a fiber is famously free of interference, while hundreds of miles of atmosphere is notoriously bad as a transmission medium. I haven't seen any kind of calculations around this. How many clients can hook up to one satellite concurrently, what kind of bandwidth will each get, realistically (theoretical max bandwidth is not so interesting). Without more information, my first thought has been that Star link sounds like an excellent, satellite-based internet technology ideal for connectivity in isolated places (far from urban areas, on ships and airplanes, etc) but which may not really be competitive for consumer internet access in urban areas. Hope I'm wrong.

Having run NemCv, which was the largest research on job hunting ever done in the Nordics this is spot on saying that you need a personal web site.

What we found was that having a website wasn’t enough, it has to show your professional side and helps you to get the job interview when 100s of candidates have gone for the same position , and can help the employer decide when there are a few candidates they need to choose from to offer the job to

You're comparing the wrong numbers.

The trial costs are small compared to R&D costs, but that's only because R&D costs are very large. So it's millions of dollars compared to billions of dollars.

But generics don't have R&D costs, they already exist and are out of patent. Which correspondingly makes them much less profitable -- that's the whole point -- and then "millions of dollars" becomes a significant cost.

Moreover, it's a free rider problem, because once you pay for it for a generic drug, anyone can make it, but they didn't have to pay the millions of dollars for the trials so now they can undercut your price.

As a result everybody sits around waiting for somebody else to spend several million dollars for a trial instead of doing it themselves, which means that nobody does it.
I would if they gave me an option to pay for a single article and not to create an account.

I was part of two programs. First from ages about 8 to 12 then another from age 13 to 15.

The program from 8-12 was what you described. Lots of random subject areas. Programming, history, chess, I learned how to build a mud brick hut (built a scale model and everything). Lots of self direction.

The program from 13 to 15 wasn't like that. It was more of a straight bump. We approximately did 2 years worth of core curriculum in one year and were then a year ahead for the remainder.

Unfortunately then at age 16 I and everyone else from that program re-entered the regular classrooms and had to do much of the same year's material again. It was really, really stupid.
