Yeah, but they are Github, so they will clearly win out over those companies I’ve never heard of.

Everyone with a big report for your OSS project is already on your Github page. Its perfect.
Is it also for bamboos of different ages, like if I planted a bamboo yesterday, and today was when they all bloomed, would that bloom? The article mentioned an owner planting one in 2008 and it blooming now? So, that would mean the natural clock isn't about how old they get, but for a certain date-time or period or some weather conditions perhaps?
The new ways come for a reason. And the new ways should respect PEP20, meaning they should work for the old use cases, so that everyone can start using the new ways as soon as they can upgrade to that version.

Now, of course Python is interpreted and packages are shipped as raw source code and this makes things harder for library authors, because were there a compile/transpile step, they could write using the new and shiny obvious ways, all the while providing compiled blobs (or transpiled libs) targeting multiple versions.

OK, fine. Then use std::string_view, etc., which are cleaner and more efficient usually. There are several reasons why C++ open source is hard to reuse, and not using standard types appropriately is one of them.
> I am running Raspbian Desktop on RPi0w, using Vufine+ head-mounted display and Twiddler 3 as a keyboard.

Wow! I had no idea you could get something like that. Can I ask what's your use-case? Do you us it when on the move, commuting maybe? Do you get a lot of stares? Can you realistically type on the Twiddler or is it more of a remote control for accessing some predefined shortcuts?
In my experience, single-purpose hardware also lasts longer because it isn’t as reliant on software updates and maintenance.
Hi, other Tanker dev here. In the browser, we use IndexedDB (via dexie). Keys are encrypted using a secret that has to be provided when starting a Tanker session.

On mobile we use an SQLCipher DB encrypted with the same secret.
Get root on the right parts of OnStar's network and it'll affect a heck of a lot more than one vehicle.
I had to laugh at the J. Press anecdote at the end. I actually remember when Casual Fridays came in. It basically meant that sales/marketing/business types didn't need to wear jackets and ties (if not suits) on Friday any longer. People in engineering tended not to wear ties and when "official" casual Friday's came in, the response was to dress down another notch--including dressing down further on Fridays--to the point where the CEO made it known that the dressing down had gone a bit too far.

It was around the same time that IBMers switched from suits to the now ubiquitous polo shirts at trade shows. Cue great sigh of relief from booth staffers at the myriad of other companies who could now follow suit [pun not intended].

GitHub is somewhere between 2 and 3 right now.
Yes, and? This still means that if someone gets the latest Python the f-strings should be used everywhere, because supposedly they solve every and all problems that the previous ones solved and some.
Making HAL Your Pal (2001)
There is recurring costs as well, something like $400/mo in power usage bills, and another $400 in internet and space rental fees per month. The folks over at the datacenter have been very happy to have me so there might be some discounts in there as well, but I am not sure. My goal was to keep the recurring cost as low as I can, and compared to what hosting a beast like this in a conventional datacenter would cost I'd like to think it's a pretty good deal.

Given that it generates like 10k BTU/hr or something like that the drain on the datacenter is non-trivial, so I a running cost was to be expected.
Eric, great job on the SEC. Regarding large, long-term investors, ILPA might be a place of interest. I've gone to some of their conferences in New York. Good luck.
Just curious: what exactly about the description on the website is unclear?

Use infrastructure as code to consistently provision any cloud, infrastructure, and service.
That's a splendid idea.

Oh, wait. There exists such a thing as batteries. Dang!
In particular, one of those was a prominent politician from the party Samoobrona ("self defense"), which led to joking that "he hanged himself in self-defense".
This is the conflict that arises when the name for the group applies to a nationality and a distinctly identifiable racial group as well. Some will use “Japanese” to talk about those that are legally and culturally from Japan, and others will use the word to reference those that are genetically from Japan.
There are some other examples like that in biology, my favourite being 13- and 17-year periodic cicadas [1] with one theory being that a prime number was selected for during evolution to make it more difficult to synchronize with predator life cycles.

Counters in biology are also a thing, for example Hayflick limit [2] which is a number of times a single cell can divide before it dies (partially explained by telomere shortening due to particularities of replication of the lagging DNA strand 3). What is interesting here is that plants from the same clone grown in different climates likely grow at different rates so the counter must be decoupled from cell division. Perhaps accumulation of some metabolite that adds up every season triggers it at some threshold?

I never said I couldn't see how... Just pointing out that we need more data to know cause and effect.
The unfair thing isn’t that it’s not written down though. It’s that it’s implicitly “wear whatever you want, except don’t look like old fashioned corporate America” but claims to be “wear whatever”.

Like the other poster mentioned about hardware vendors at Apple wearing suits, it’s probably not personal it’s just stereotypes at play. Google has a particular penchant for “watch out for tailgating” and expects all employees to challenge folks without badges. It’s not common to see other Google engineers in anything particularly formal, so it becomes a clear “hmm, I should make sure that person has a badge” or alternatively “hey security person, I don’t think they have a badge”.
> My worry, and I hope I’m wrong here, is that on average, adding more housing units just makes this cycle spin faster. (Unless you could add SO MANY housing units that you could actually break through the wedge, that is.)

That's kind of the point of "build more housing", isn't it? It's pretty obvious that just building, say 1,000 new condos, won't change the prices a lot if you have demand for 50,000. To make a dent, you actually have to build (or let others build) SO MANY. There are good estimates for many cities about the number of new apartments required per year just to keep up with demand, building less won't drive prices down, though it might slow the price increase.

They should also launch one-off contributions for people who want particular features . Still a great move , and loooong overdue, i hope it succeeds massively.
I opened that link and was going to comment on the use of IPA - because in the first line I noticed it was using the British pronunciation, 'kriːʧə, rather than the North American pronunciation, 'kriːʧɚ. But in double checking myself, I found something more interesting - the wikipedia article [1] on R-coloured vowels (like the sound at the end of creature, that I was talking about). I thought I was pronouncing the r consonant separately, but instead it's just changing the vowel sound, which is linguistically kind of rare. Neat!

Terraform does not use YAML. And in the last updates they try to make their HCL more "programming language like". Pulumi is already there (they are using an actual programming language)

That's not a bad idea! I spend a lot of time hacking at night, with my monitor in "night mode" (warmer colors), so I didn't think much about how cold they look in the daylight.

I should eventually add color theming so this can be done from a single place, and then I'll be sure to add a warmer option, too. And probably make it the default after I see how nice it looks :)
I don't know the exact mechanism (it sounds like nobody does) but remember these are clonally propagated (until they flower, which I presume creates seeds). So most of the entire population is actually one genetic "individual". So the 'alarm clock' must be tied to the original genetic signature.
I haven't used that scenario, but you are responsible for locking. I guess if you use S3 or something similar to store/retrieve state you can easily make it work.
I don't see Panic approaching this as a "console" and looking for outside platform support. This is more like ten $15 Game-and-Watches bundled together.

If they offer more games after the fact that's cool, but at this price point I think most customers will love it for what it is.
Many ridiculous suggestions, like the whole "data encoding" group (obsolete data formats don't need maintenance) and the various modules about old file formats (ditto).
From what I recall, it's definitely an homage.
On the other hand it provides a way to measure the performance of the people being sponsored. it's a good fit.
Well damn, this is sneaky and I love it. I say sneaky, because I was in a situation where I mentally debated Github vs Gitlab. This tips it a bit towards Githubs favor. Not that I'm even planning on being sponsored or w/e, but simply that I already view GH as a social network for a thing I love (code), but now it seems even more.. socially.. if that makes sense.

Purely my perception of course.
I've encountered the same thing. I'm standing on public ground but was continually asked why I didn't join the program. I eventually bought the lanyard so they would leave me alone.

I think it's more about some random outsider going somewhere they shouldn't and wrecking the program for the ones that want it to stay around. It's self-protection.
Many different clients will be happy with many different situations. Current and previous 3 clients all happy with state not on-prem.
This is highly complex for no reason.

My office mate at Stanford used to say the same thing, fwiw. I’ve got a good retort: grilling in San Francisco.

As people said, usually you layer these under say a ski jacket to keep your core warmer without losing arm mobility. In the amusing case of grilling, I actually don’t want a garment picking up the smoke/smells either.
Hi, I’m Devon the product manager behind GitHub Sponsors. We’re excited to launch the beta program today and learn how we can best serve the community.

It’s great to already see the conversation on this thread! We’re eager to hear all of your feedback, and feel free to email me at devonzuegel@github.com as well.
To be fair the company exists to make the sort of clothes you actually would wear if you where going to Patagonia.

i think worklist.net has created a bidding platform that works that way. it's not popular, but something like that on github be pretty popular imho.
Same stock typically means same root stock, which is how people propagate and bamboo naturally clones itself.

At a gas price of 2 gwei, that's $3-4 per tx? And the network is not congested right now.

Any plans to make it less expensive?
Yes, I'm aware of it. And I think it backs up what I mentioned - the Clark experiment was made with young children attending schools. That's way past the time when they've had time to soak up the attitudes around them. How does the experiment work with 1-year (or 2, up to maybe three year) old children? That's where my anecdotal experience comes from: they don't care.

But I once heard a five year old boy complaining "I don't want to have to see naked people!" or some such thing. But he was from a country where that (nudeness) is made an issue. From other countries children of that age don't even notice or care. In other words, the complainer learned that from someone. That episode really stuck with me because I had never in my life heard a child opiniate about that before.
Totally agree with previous comments about WPF having a steep learning curve. We recently released our photo-tagging application called Tag That Photo. It's currently available for Windows and built on the WPF platform (Mac client coming in future). It detects & recognizes faces in user's local photo collections, allowing them to tag people, add keywords and location data to the images. All the data can be written back to the image metadata for import into other photo editing tools. Unlike many other face-recognition platforms out there, everything is executed locally so user's photos stay private.

Prior to creating Tag That Photo, we had little experience with the WPF beyond simple demo type applications. Of course we've come a long way over the course of development but it certainly hasn't been easy. We have extensive experience with many other UI frameworks such as WinForms, Android / iOS as well as various web frameworks, and I think it's safe to say that once you wrap your head around it, the WPF has the slickest architecture. The team that designed this really knew what they were doing. It has this "peeling-the-onion" mentality to it where it's simple to implement straight-forward use-cases but if you want lower-level control of essentially every aspect of rendering, binding, input handling etc it's all exposed for you.

In case you want to see the final product: https://www.tagthatphoto.com
Yeah, I don't know. Krakow had one huge observation deck, now it's all gone and there isn't a single area of the airport which would have the view of the runway(not without going through security first).
> I have never looked into his political beliefs, and I don't care for it either. He has been a massive help for me in managing my symptoms, and helping me see how my brain works, and why I keep falling on my head in certain areas.

Absolutely! I don't really care that he has these views either, I was just surprised.

> I won't try to guess the influence of this incident on Barkley, but I can only think that Barkley "hates" ADHD for this reason (ie, ADHD has no advantages), and I think it becomes clearer why he is so immensely focused on the negative aspects of ADHD.

Definitely. I think his belief that ADHD has no advantages probably stems from emotions, not from logic (although I'm sure he rationalises it)
As a kid, one of the biggest benefits of technology I heard was freeing up our time from mundane labor. But with our phones making us available almost 24/7 it seems the joke is on us.

A three hour work day is something I could get behind 100%.
My guess is in those social circles it is like old money, all about self-justification anf filtering from "outsiders" not within their approved privledge gatekeepers. If they choose our nonmainstream X it is cultured - if they choose mainstream Y it is tacky.
Related question - how many bookmarks do you have and how do you use them? Because for my use I don't see a point of doing anything fancier that Ctrl-D to bookmark and keeping them in <5 folders in my browser.
Was this perhaps inspired at all by the Materialistic Hacker News app for Android? It has most of those features you listed :)
You knew that it had been removed from Fedora months before they announced it was going to be replaced in RHEL. You seem totally confident that they wouldn't have just added the package back once you showed back up and addressed the issues that lead to it's removal. Maybe that's true, but I'm not sure it is.
It would be really neat if the eventually introduce some type of dependency sharing.

Ie, huge project X built on top of Y and Z show that 30% of donations go to Y and Z.

If Github can start automatically recognizing dependencies it could also incentivize people to "properly" (whatever that means) share donations.
And Game of Thrones.
Even at Apple, there are a few people who observe Formal Fridays, and some of them quite extravagantly so.
Tech Has a Diversity Problem – Let’s Talk About It
Ask HN: Do you pick individual stocks and which? Ethics?
Hey HN

I understand that index funds are recommended for low risk, high gains. However, I do not want to invest in fossil fuels, tabaco, weapons etc.
I know, that there are funds with restricted portfolios and varying ethical guidelines. But they all seem to be either very lax or perform badly.

Hence, I’m interested into picking individual companies based on thorough assessment of their ethics, environmental impact and long term stock gain prospects. Any tips on that, especially with regards to the last point, short of becoming a pro trader? Also, what about risk mitigation/spread strategies?

I’m looking into investing up to 50k USD/CHF in the short term and perhaps 10k/y from there on. I can afford loosing the money in the sense, that I live in a country with a reasonable pension system and not expecting to become financially independent before retirement anyway. Although, I rather not loose the money I’m definitely willing to take a higher risk/reward than with an index fund. Let’s say 10x roughly. I also think it’s morally wrong to keep it in the bank where it is invested into unethical business. Note, that I’m also looking into ethical banks, but these are expensive and are guaranteed to yield negative interest.
Companies (and anyone interested) could simply pool funds together and use that to ask already trusted and respected auditors to do reviews.

And anyone who pays into the fund should be able to vote on what package to review. (And there should be a weighted lottery, so eventually small contributors' wishes have a chance to get fulfilled.)

For good measure anyone can put this on the blockchain, make a flattr/patreon thing out of this. (Somehow use github sponsoring...) Who knows.
At no point were more papers predicting cooling than warming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling
Anything is possible! It would take quite a lot of work to bring up a Qt port, so it's not really a priority right now as there are many other important things that need attention. But some day.
At least in my case, I remember seeing them somewhere here on HN before. It's amazing project, for sure!
The original post you responded to mentioned that NNTP did not have a replacement, so I don't see how it could be improved/maintained if it's just not there anymore.

It's just like power in any other form; legitimate power comes from the ability to influence others, but exercising that power to coerce others is a trade. If Google wants that power back, they need to earn it.

Analysis of various tricky Rust code
Well, everything you said is false:

"Among the most-cited is a 2013 study of nearly 12,000 abstracts of peer-reviewed papers on climate science published since 1990, of which just over 4,000 papers expressed an opinion on the cause of recent global warming. Of these, 97% agree, explicitly or implicitly, that global warming is happening and is human-caused."

And my argument of taking water from the seas causing the rise and fall of tides is just as laughable as the "climatecentral.org" nonsense that is pushed everywhere. And linking to agenda driven "climatecentral.org" propagandists won't win anyone over either. Neither will linking to a 2000 year climate range when I purposely talked about 20000 year climate range.

The truth of the matter is that climate has change far more drastically in the past and will do so in the future. And the truth of the matter is that we don't know why climate changes drastically. Those who claim they know are simply liars and propagandists. Just like for much of human history, we had no idea that the moon was responsible for the rise and fall of tides. Maybe one day we will know - perhaps there are planetary reasons. Perhaps it is something internal to earth.

Yes, the greenhouse effect is very well studied and it's pretty much been proven that it doesn't apply to climate change. Ever wonder why the propagandists don't talk about it much any longer? We can actually calculate the temperature of a greenhouse ( there are actual formulas for this ). When we modeled that to the earth, it predicted much higher temperatures than we have. How embarrassing. So the model doesn't work, otherwise, the problem would be solved. It's almost like the earth isn't a greenhouse.

Whatever the forces causing climate change, I think we can safely say that natural forces are far more important than humans. Though that idea may bruise our egos a bit.

The industry of climate fearmongering has more to do with politics/geopolitics than climate or science.

We don't definitely know why we had a "little ice age" in the last millenia. We don't know why much of the ice in the northern hemisphere melted 10000+ years ago. We don't know why much of the northern hemisphere was covered in ice ( parts of which was covered in ice 2 miles high ). We don't know the definitive cause of any of the climate shifts just in the last 20000 years. But you and your "consensus" makers are sure about climate change today. Right? Even though every climate model today fails. We don't have a definitive climate model. We don't know why any of the climate change happened in the past. Yet, you are absolutely sure of man-made climate change.
