I wish they had a bin for tube fluorescents - I want to change out my shop and garage lights for LED tubes, but I don't know where to get rid of my old tubes (short of waiting for a hazardous waste drive day - I always miss those).
I think that's a fair question.

AFAICT, v1 of PECR awkwardly applies whenever the cookie is not functionally directly necessary for the service that the user is using. PECR applies even if, like here, the cookie is just for counting unique numbers of visitors, and is not used for fingerprinting individuals.

The draft v2 of PECR contains an exemption for first party analytics. I think this maybe strikes a nice balance: explicit consent would still be required for the more-harmful third party analytics.

Not sure when v2 of PECR will happen. It is years overdue. Perhaps it is a priority for the newly elected European Parliament and the new Commission?
For what is worth you are not alone.
It's a startup. I actually find it to be the case that early stage companies are more willing to do remote work. In part because it's a way for them to broaden their options.
Depends on the problem you're talking about. Slack made their memory usage considerably worse due to poor programming so that's obviously an issue. But that also doesn't negate the other issues electron brings.

Personally I would have used those years of development time to go native but it is what it is.
As always, lawyers get paid, not actual plaintiff.
Is Neocities still active? I sent you $100 a few hours ago to support the project and for the supporter status, but I haven't gotten any replies. I also just noticed that the last tweet is from April.

I want to support Neocities if it'll ensure a good future, I'd just like to know that I'm supporting a project that still has one.
Grow too fast and not judiciously. Expand rapidly, making assumptions about expenses and operations and revenue. Then a few months later, there were unexpected expenses, operations aren't going as smoothly as anticipated, and revenue is nonexistent. The buckets of money turns into buckets of debt (possibly actual debt, or maybe debt from the perspective of the investors). Then...not much you can do.

Companies grow because they hope more growth == more revenue == more profits, but it can easily go south. Fast forward a few months or years and they're stuck spending tons of money just to keep everything going, owing tons of money, but not making any money.
Hmmm... trying to optimize their Electron app is nice, but how about a real desktop app instead of a heavyweight browser engine masquerading as one? Would be really nice, especially for an app you have to have running in the background the whole time. But the chances for that are slim, I'm afraid...
I feel this is a little too cynical.

For example, maybe I want to make extra money but don't want to be tied to a shift. This type of flexibility is amazing for lots of people. It's very appealing if you need extra money, and have a lot of time. Unfortunately, this aligned in an economic cycle where people needed work, and undervalued their value as workers(and for sometime bonuses, and gamification made this type of work very profitable i.e. 4k a week driving uber in SF).
We do plan on scaling to $100,000,000 in ARR. We are planning on keeping this model. We have actually purposely limited how many people we hire to fewer than 50. I'm curious what GitLabs ARR is. I know GitLab raised nearly $170MM whereas ConvertKit has raised $0. 52% of the profit is distributed twice a year to employees at our company retreats. We're on track to hit $20MM ARR by the end of this year. We have a 401k program with 4% match. We get a $1000 "Paid" Paid time off bonus once a year. GitLab is a "Unicorn" but they've cheated their employees to get there. A billion dollar company can't pay people the same based on their role? Sounds like SV venture sharks speaking under the guise of remote work.

I'm always mystified by people, especially people who live in cities, that want to require cars to emit noise pollution.

Thankfully, the "mandatory noisemaker" impulse seems to have died out at least for now. I know if my vehicle is ever required to have a noisemaker I'm going to have it be the Ghostbuster's Ecto-1 broken ambulance sound.

To me the thing that is most noticeable about electric propulsion cars is the smoothness of the drive train. No revving, lurching to shift, then revving again. No coasting, then a lag when you step on the accelerator, then a lurch in to acceleration. Just pure smoothness. It is luxurious, quite apparent, and different.
This is only an issue because Donald Trump is misrepresented as being racist and anti-immigration when he has only talked of illegal immigration and the problem of Islamic migrants (ie, the Islamic version of democracy which is not compatible with any Western Liberal democracy).

So the avionics software used by your fighter jets, the navigation software used by your navies, missile systems and your spy satellites should all be Free Software?

What about software produced as part of a contract with a 3rd party - must the 3rd party surrender all intellectual property rights as part of their contract so that the government is able to release the software as Free Software?

These are just a couple of issues that immediately come to mind, I'm sure there are others but overall I agree with the sentiment: software created using taxpayer's money should be released as Free Software unless doing so would be a threat to national security or initiatives. Even with those exceptions it could eventually be made Free Software once an appropriate time has elapsed.
Actually, if the thugs only attacked the protesters, or even journalists, a lot of people wouldn't have given a damn.

However, they attacked even ordinary citizens in the restricted area of train stations and even inside the carriages.

https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/ch/component/k2/1469828-20190722.h...

This afternoon and evening, there were rumors that the thugs would get their hands dirty again in the western parts of Hong Kong, but so far (3AM now) it hasn't materialized.

But it's surely instilled terror in people's heart. The streets have become strikingly empty.

BTW, I'd have quite a few reservations about calling the HK political system a "democracy". But that's a topic for another day.

timing clearly is everything
To some extent it could also be that you’re presenting as young?

FWIW - My only concern with older folks is that they’re either jaded, stuck in their ways technologically, or obstinate towards being managed by people younger than them. Strong opinions held strongly is a net negative. This isn’t everyone or even a majority, but it’s quite a few.
Do other brokers let you trade on margin?

> You can't fit in if you don't know the language or literature

I would invite you to visit Richmond BC which happens to be majority Asian (on top of my head 72% +) and majority of that Chinese. A Chinese national moving to Richmond would not struggle too much without English language.

Why did you mention literature at all?
Slack’s library that they share between their mobile apps is written in C++.
> In Spanish is Piña

equally as bold, and also incorrect: ananá is what you'll hear in Argentina, possibly elsewhere.
> Would you potentially add e.g. a Python interpreter

Why would this be a desired feature? The Python ecosystem is a mess, simply having an interpreter in no ways means that you would be able to get your Python script to run, I think its much better to simply do a system call on a Python script against the Python stack in $PATH e.g. use a container based approach
No worries, I checked it a few minutes ago, and android doesn't support this either.
In 1999 and 2000, I worked for a startup in the Bay Area. Twice a week our kitchen was stocked with fresh food delivered by WebVan. We had a ton of their crates sitting around that we used to store computer parts and other facilities needs, since they never seemed to collect them.

Right around mid-2000, the deliveries stopped as the market started to tank and we had to "tighten our belt", and the free food disappeared and the vending machines went from free to 10 cents each (and there was a small riot). I suspect we weren't the only startup that did that. It makes me wonder how much of their revenue was from other startups. Kind of reminds me of 2019...

They actually brought good food. I considered signing up for myself at my house, but it was just too expensive for a single guy. Might have been good for a family though.
Could you explain what you mean by "invasion"?
For Electron signing we use Tucows Code signing certs (you need to register as Tucows auther for free) which are provided by Comodo for $140 for 2 years.
Didn't have any issues besides getting a proper CI/CD process running.
What's the use case here?
But there's no such thing, semantically, as "leaving zero bits alone". The value 0 has no notion of "where it came from". The expression "x & 0" is semantically equivalent to the expression "0", in that they represent the same value.

In my view, the fact that the question even lends itself to philosophical debate like this just illustrates how exceptionally bad the question is, even by Google standards.
You're right, I, a user, don't perceive any of the upsides.

The upside that keeps getting paraded around is that it's a huge boon for product velocity. But that's just objectively false because Slack-the-product hasn't meaningfully changed in years.

Eh? So what. If everybody stops price matching because nobody buys from Amazon anymore because everything they get is compromised, then GOOD. We'll be in a better more honest place.
All of our cats do this. My current 3 tolerate it to variable extents before becoming overstimulated and rolling away or smacking with claw retracted. If I kept doing it I know the next swipe would be unsheathed, and the cats know that I know this, so we never get to that point. Honestly none of my cats have ever liked having bellies rubbed at all whereas getting purrs and drools out of them is pretty easy massaging in the places they like (behind ears, base of tail, beneath chin, scent gland spots I think)
A nuance here is that China's nationality laws forbid dual-citizenship and border officials have been (anecdotally) cracking down on it in recent years. There are a lot of grey areas in enforcement, and I'm not sure how it would play out for the rich and powerful, but the general idea is that once you get a second passport, the first one ceases to exist, along with one's hukou, right to property and capital, etc.

Thus, as with other countries that don't allow dual citizenship (e.g., Japan, India, Austria, Malaysia, Singapore) getting another nationality is probably a stronger exit signal.

Of course, most schemes start by giving permanent residency, which is different and sort of the best of both worlds.

IB is abundantly clear that it makes money from cash balances. I'm not sure where you got this idea from.
Is there a sweet spot of asteroid size/energy required to adjust orbit/danger (etc, obviously I don't know all the parameters)

Like, you don't want to waste time going after a bunch of tiny asteroids, but if they're too big it would take too much delta-v to move them.

Or I might be wrong entirely.

> For me the gold standard of Chat applications is always going to be mIRC.

For you ... for me, mIRC is difficult to use, understand, and overall not nearly as aesthetically pleasing as slack.

Not to mention mIRC is missing a ton of features that slack has which specifically makes it better suited for businesses. Push notifications and chat history to name a few.
JavaScript concat vs. spread syntax performance
At the same time, I do believe many people know they're being lied to, but few are able or willing to stand against the system.

Just look at the case of Liu Xiaobo.
If they’re at the top of the Google search results for “manufacturer” then you’re probably good. Cross check with Wikipedia if you want to be sure.

If you find some random vendor with a cheaper price then you need to make a decision about how much you trust them and how much it’s worth to you.

All of this is pretty standard and expected. The problem with Amazon is that people expect them to be trustworthy, and apparently when it comes to receiving what you order, they often aren’t. People’s defenses against scammers don’t work here because Amazon doesn’t look like one. And yet they will tell you “sold by X” and sell you a product from Y instead without ever telling you.

Stores should be legally liable for what they sell. If they want their suppliers to bear the burden then they can add indemnification to their contracts.

This bug specifically says it affects anonymous volumes. If you had it delete a named volume that sounds like a new issue.
Rationale, motivations, project state etc. are all pretty relevant to any README. In the case of a library that solves a problem which already has known solutions, providing evidence of why your solution is better seems like a no-brainer.
Manufacturer's claims are not incorrect. OS vendors just didn't intoroduce support yet.

The doctrine of first sale means people can re-sell your products.

It does not mean you have a right to do so on Amazon.
Agreed.

It's also an easy vector for foreign states to become 'addicted' to investment money generated from their industrial base and I.P. 'borrowing.'
iTerm2 eats 150mb+. Any cocoa app use that much of memory. App Store is 500mb just after launch.
Those memory-bloat apps are never, never only memory hogs. They always come with an outsize hit to general system responsiveness, always have UI lag, and so on. These days almost all of them are webtech junk. I still have a few Java programs with that problem —I've been reading "it's in your head, here's a proof that it can't be as bad as you say" for like 20 years now and those folks continue to be wrong in practice—but webtech's even worse.

Which makes perfect sense. If you're operating on more memory than should be necessary you're gonna be burning a lot more processor/battery than is reasonable, too.
I often think that if I were a billionaire,I'd rather spend hundreds of millions on some cool R&D projects rather than having some 100 meter boat that one uses a only a few times a year. I could at least walk around in 20 or so years and say "I funded this" rather than pointing at a rusting boat nobody will ever care about.
I've interacted with several Googlers over the hears who said point-blank that Google won't hire people over 40.
This is a good idea. I recently wrote down some ideas about "How to Grow a Program," in a symbolic programming environment: https://github.com/theronic/hoist/

I call it Hoist - from "hoisting up" concrete, hard-coded values into abstract symbols for reuse. It's complete vaporware at this point, just a place to collect my thoughts for a future essay.
I used to be a believer of the theory that we are super sophisticated machines. When I read some of the philosophy on the subject I changed my mind. I now believe there must be some immaterial component to our minds.

There’s a lot to read out there on this subject, but I found expositions of the philosophy of Aristotle and Aquinas to be the clearest and most convincing for me. Lots of different books and articles exist on them both - pick one that sounds like it suits your style of understanding.
That's fair, I had the same experience coming from a lower COL area, and when I was interviewing I was able to negotiate for a higher salary and they adjusted. If GitLab wants you badly enough then they'll do what every company does and try and make themselves competitive. You just have less leverage to negotiate in general because you're competing with international talent vs local talent.

Awesome, I'll hit you up in Discord.
Please. This is literally the same argument I read over and over again on HN. This IS the bastion for this kind of argument.
Agreed. By the way, does anyone want to try my new VR tech? It will change everything forever!
This same factor applies to Amazon, McDonalds, Walmart et al: they pay minimum wage (though Amazon steals some back, though not as much as companies like DoorDash) but not really enough to live on; the balance is made up via a subsidy from the government (food stamps et al).

But those government-subsidized jobs count as "jobs" in the unemployment statistics so I suppose it's all good.
If someone is running so much stuff that an app (or a few apps) using ~250MB of ram instead of ~100MB (or whatever) of ram is a huge problem they can easily spend $200 or so for an extra 8GB of ram.

Ram is cheap. Usage at this scale just doesn't matter to the vast majority of users.
There may be more data, but a trade deficit is not an inherently bad thing in fact with most nations it strengthens US soft policy by adding US currency and use of US currency to the local economy.

For China, this means they can buy gold in USD (that has slowed recently but they usually purchase large amounts of gold regularly) or offer investment cash in USD (for businesses or housing abroad). How the cash is used could be negative like buying US housing to hold or rent but a trade deficit is generally positive for the US.
There was a grocery delivery startup called Grocera that operated in Waterloo region for a little while a couple years ago (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/grocera). It's defunct now, but my wife ordered from them a few times, and was pretty sure it was one of the founders who showed up at the door, pulling the order out of the back of their own hatchback.

So much value in learning first hand about the experience first hand, both for the customer and the staff person.
I think it definitely depends on your use-case. Like you wrote, if everything else you have open also churns through battery life, it's unlikely having Slack open will make a difference.

However, if your other applications are a terminal, other efficient text editor (e.g. Sublime), and other generally respectful apps, I've found having Slack open is the difference between having enough battery life to work all day, and not.
Autodesk does $2.7B/year in revenue. The revenue from 3DsMax and Maya is a rounding error compared to the revenue from their CAD products.
When I see things like this:

setcfg({'framework': 'React'})

I immediately think to myself that the designer of the API either (a) values tiny function names over understandable ones, or (b) hasn't given naming enough thought to be consistent. Either way, it's not a good sign and turns me off from investigating further.
1. Why are you running docker volume prune in production?

2. Why are you running docker on ad-hoc machines you need to prune?

3. Why do you even need root access on production machines to fiddle around with docker commands?

While this is obviously a bad bug (and there are many with Docker), it seems more of an operational procedures failure than anything else. You could be saying:

“Beware of rm -rf /, it just deleted 20gb of production data”

Ok. Sure. But why are you tools and procedures putting yourself in a position to make that mistake?

Yes, I have a "free" "unlimited" Box storage via UChicago but I never think to use it since I'm a Linux user and it's such a pain to use from the browser. Supporting Ubuntu and EL would support the vast majority of users on campus.
I believe the RPi can boot directly from the network, but it does require a one-time config change that requires booting from the SD card once. After that, the SD card isn’t required for future reboots.

(Or actually even supported, IIRC)
I've been using Slack on the desktop daily since the alpha version. I've never found it to have UI lag.

I honestly think that most people us use phrases like "webtech junk" are offended on principle and not because of any measurable difference that matters to regular users.

I'll occasionally buy some more expensive or more complex items from amazon, and never anything that I'll be putting on or in my body. Otherwise I'll order directly from manufacturer or head into a store. If it werent for the Whole Foods discounts I'd have absolutely no reason to pay for Prime.
Can we talk about how many services have had outages recently now?
That’s right - we have minds therefore we must be more than just matter.

I used to think the opposite, but reading the philosophy on the subject changed my mind. There are a lot of different takes on the topic, but what most added up for me was the philosophy of Aristotle and Aquinas. There are many great expositions of their work out there.
t my last company when our internet connection went down a bunch of team members said they couldn't work because they couldn't get too GitHub. They were shocked to learn they could still collaborate by pushing their changes back and forth with other colleagues.

Perhaps what they really meant is that they couldn't get to stack overflow :-(

Apple Hires Tesla VP with Interior Design Experience
i am currently running an iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017) and am very pleased with the screen size / resolution.
my 2cents are i don't think more screen size ( for the same resolution ) would be any better, i feel it would make me move my neck a bit more over a work day, and with two cervical hernias, it would be uncomfortable.
100% this. There are a lot of opportunities for creative work in content marketing, devrel, and so forth. Writing, video, etc. Also a great way to bridge with doing if that’s your thing.

It’s obviously not the same as literary fiction, etc. But it can be a good gig. If you have some other particular interest do it as a hobby/sideline.

One downside is that you may not be credited but even that’s not always a given. I get a byline for most external things I write as part of my job.
I thought that NiMH will lose about 1% per day, thus making them a poor choice for standby devices.
What's the reasoning behind not hiring older developers? Besides the lack of flexibility in personality and old guy sentiments, they are usually solid developers and have a lot of knowledge. I've learned so many things by osmosis by just being around them. Is it solely that they can grind young developers into the ground at a low salary? Nearly every young developer in my short time as a developers thinks they are Mr. Robot, whereas the older guys give a much better sense of what programming is really all about in the context of reality.
