I've found there's something even worse: Policies that aren't actually attached to any known person.

At least with the swap example, there was someone you could talk to, or ask your manager to talk to. But what if it was just an Onion in the Varnish and nobody remembered who said no swap in prod, it was just "That's the [company name] Way"?
I was using GitHub actions to do build, test and push to production for a while now, with the older syntax (the one without yaml). I'm not sure exactly what changed now, and the messaging is indeed confusing
Can you get a Danish loan to fund the purchase of a foreign (ehem U.S.) residence?
Wow, I had multiple very similar experiences with the same person she's talking about.
Spot on. I've had some crazy rides, and some terrific rides, but I always treat the car and the people with respect, which hasn't lead me astray yet. If you treat your uber/lyft driver like they're glorified taxi drivers, don't be surprised when all you get out of it is a mediocre ride from point A to point B at best.
Regardless of whether it's ethical or not, because I'm not qualified to answer that question:

Why do you want to treat your face and/or other biometric information as a password? Isn't it closer to a username?
Another FUD angle: make your state-actor counterparties think you're developing a technology that you're aware is massively time- and resource-consuming, but not meaningfully useful, or better yet, can be gamed into being less-than-useful, such that they burn cycles and resources in a wild goose chase.

(I suspect tech companies do this, in part, with the tech-fad treadmill bandwagon.)
GitHub Actions Moves GitHub into DevOps
At least that guy got what he needed quickly instead of debating 5000 ways to do the same thing on HN.
I loved this article and just want to thank Dan and Scott for all that they do. I appreciate how moderating a forum like HN leads to deep introspection about what triggers us. "This seemingly trivial stuff, about people getting mad at other people on the Internet, is actually tied to this much deeper and more fascinating process of what goes on between people and what goes on in oneself."

It's too easy to judge quickly (i.e. never reading but criticizing an article based on its title) and misunderstand strangers on the Internet. I admire the extreme patience that our HN mods have in helping us to judge less quickly and respond more thoughtfully to one another here. It's no doubt a challenging, emotionally taxing, and never-ending job, but y'all are doing it and doing it well. Thank you.
Newsflash: listicles are garbage. It doesn't need to be a list of myths; any article following the pattern "10 anythings about anything" is clickbait trash.
I think both Uber, Lyft and (to some extent) Tesla have been working on autonomous cars because it's not an immediately implausible way for them to turn profitable.

I personally agree it's a multi-decade (if ever) thing, but if Uber et al. claim they'll have it in 2 years, without facts on the table it boils down to who the investors believe in.
Us kids always made lawn darts for ourselves with scrap rebar and an old chopsaw with a cracked switch that shocked you...
I’m not convinced this is even on the list of things that need to considered in the next 5 years. If we triage “the problems” this is take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning.

Climate, healthcare, immigration, requires focus to fix correctly
The only one of these that solves the GIL problem (that only one thread in a given Python process can be running Python bytecode at a time) is ProcessPoolExecutor, or more generally forking separate Python processes for each computation you want to do that uses Python bytecode. The others all still are limited by the GIL.

What subinterpreter support will do is basically to allow multiple GILs inside a single Python process, each in its own thread, so multiple threads in the same process can now run Python bytecode.
> there is no language that I've seen that has more hair pulling, braindead I just learned to program yesterday type programming nearly as much as I've seen in Javascript.

I would argue that anything for phones is similarly braindead.

While the languages are okay, the API's, UI idioms, and general ecosystem seem to have a half-life of about 6 months. If you step away from programming phones for 18 months, it's like you're learning everything from scratch.

(Side note: All right, Groovy should be taken out and shot and the idiot who foisted it on the Android build system needs to be taken to the woodshed and beaten severely.)

Hmmm, well, I'd say it's unethical to convince anyone that a lock secured by facial recognition is reliable enough to trust with your life, so... kind of?

We know that fingerprints are a moderately flimsy biometric, and faces are even weaker. I'd cast a sideways look at anybody expecting facial recognition to prevent car theft. Your face is probably a pretty good biometric secret for a bicycle lock and not much else. On the same level as very weak key handshakes via RFID transponders.

How secure are garage door openers. If that's your security stance, have at it, I guess. But if you really care about door locks, a 3D model that a stranger might try to print from a stereoscopic video or LIDAR capture could probably trick most facial recognition software in most cases.

Not to mention identical twins and celebrity impersonators, and people with sunglasses and wigs, possibly...
Well, not only that. I also want American retirees to benefit from enjoying their golden years in a fascinating new location full of scenic wonders, interesting people, excellent cuisine, music, language, art, architecture and other culture. I mean, imagine what these people would have to face otherwise: the dismal, frozen landscape of a city like Fargo or Cleveland, or the blazing hellscape of a city like Mojave, California. That would just suck for them.
Correct on the last point: they are not in a high risk position.

Coming in as first employee into a pre-seed company is high risk. That is not a 1% position. You can only go by what he is saying: that he is well and uniquely qualified for the position. If the job (at this stage of the company) truly needs his fairly unique skillset and experience, he needs to come in as not just "first employee" but "first executive". Which is a 5% position.
Yes, but it requires multiple Python processes, which is often overkill for the concurrency needs of an application.
Not sure there's anything inherently unsafe about outputting the power supply at full capacity.

This is likely just an actual PD controller that always tries to negotiate the maximum power. Nothing wrong with that.

The second link if it's actually outputting max voltage/current over the USB Type-A: that's probably not safe. I don't think any USB Type-A connector is rated for 5 amps. Don't think there should be any issue with the voltage, besides the fact you'll fry any regular USB device if you plug it in...
Other than the receipt thing, this sounds the same as anywhere I've rented… I agree it's a shitty system all around, but I don't think any of it is unique to Paris.
it's actually worth looking at the claims just as an exercise. they are incredibly narrow, there must have been many objections here.
That's still a classic Sanders vs Yang mentality to the problem. I'm not saying that the public forcing more competition isn't good, but it's orthogonal.

If we broke Uber into 1000 Uberlets, it still doesn't change that their only path out is still to be first in replacing all drivers with AI. As pro union, pro minimum wage, pro health benefit, pro 3 day weekend as I am, taxi driver jobs are still not coming back. There just aren't going to be sustainable mining towns or fishing towns or trucker stop towns.

This doesn't answer the humanity in 2050 question. And we need to start answering that question now.
In my experience that is pretty common. My F150, for example, has daytime running lights ... in Canada. Another boolean flag, if I had a programmer I could enable them on mine.
I recently spent a weekend in a major city without Uber/Lyft. Trying to call a cab company was terrible, relative to the user experience of Uber or Lyft.

After making my request, a few cab companies simply answered "Ok" before hanging up. I called them back to get an ETA, and their dispatchers would give me answers like "30 to 40 minutes" or "I don't know".

I wasn't out in the boonies or anything. I was downtown.
Hear hear. This is a great time to experiment with reducing (or in some cases eliminating) the protection offered by the state under the guise of intellectual property.

FWIW, I haven't made the parent comment's sort of experience in either Berlin, London, or Paris. So it might be somewhat specific to New York.

And I have trouble understanding what you are actually suggesting, but it seems to be an entirely technocratic take ignoring what actually makes cities liveable, with possibly some dehumanisation of homeless people thrown in for extra discredit?
Why is psychology important right now? What have psychologists done for me lately?
The funny thing is we're all making trade-offs at various times. So there will be people who will point at someone else and say "He's a no-man" and at other points they will be the "no-man". I remember saying "no" a lot at some points of my life, and I think it was because I hadn't yet learned to say "the cost of that is this and in my opinion it isn't worth it" but there are still times I am speaking to people where they are unable to truly grok the cost given my current skill of explaining and then it probably looks like I'm a no-man.

Besides, come on, who even has dogmatic rules like "No Swap In Production". That's just short-hand for a concept. When it's in dispute you have to trace the reasoning again. There's no alternative. I cannot imagine doing something only because someone said so. I certainly recall a time when someone said "Person X isn't going to like this" and saying "Well, then, person X is going to have to find another way to solve your problem". I certainly hope that if I'm person X in someone else's story, they take the same approach.

And if you have to trace the reasoning more than once, it's probably worth writing down your argument. Not as a big RFC-style thing necessarily, but even just a Slack thread you can point to.
You've clearly never missed a flight due to said cab not showing up. Never again.

I like it too, to have just one file rather than many large and complicated files. Some programs I have seen do put everything in the header file, although I prefer to have a separate header file and program file, although having only the header file still works too. It isn't impossible to invoke from two separate source files, because there is a macro that you can define to specify if you want to include the implementation or not.
This was my reaction too. If any Danish banks are reading this and want to make a juicy half percent, hit me up.
Praise be to the teams that patron the second best and keep the first best on their toes.
Most taxi drivers were already contractors before smartphones and they won't stop being independent even if Uber dies.

The solution is improving contractor employment laws and services to reflect new reality of the economy (technology lowering the barrier to join a contractor or temp jobs increasing their quantity). Not trying to end something that's not going away and many people find useful but making being a contractor not being treat as the bastard child of employment but a standard means of work.

In Canada you can't get proper unemployment benefits if you're a contractor (and you don't have an option to volunteer into one, you'd have to do it yourself), so if you get seriously sick, as what happened to me, you're S.O.L. for even basic money and have to depend on family. Between that, universal healthcare coverage, and stricter rules on what's defined as a 'full-time job' and you'd eliminate most problems.

That’s much better than the azure devops pricing which is super confusing which is tied to monthly plans.

For teams, azure devops costs between 6-52/month/user and includes many features not needed for a standard GitHub+CircleCI (or gitlab) project.
He's kind of right about public transport/walking. Apart from some outskirts of London, the city has a pretty well developed public transport network. In my case,if Uber will hike up the prices,I'd go back using the buses when shopping or switch back to online ordering.
Sky Credit Solution is the real deal in credit repair
I read something on this forum that changed my life, I missed paying back my loans and was late on the rent. These along the eviction and huge student loans did a great deal of harm to my FICO score, it dropped to as low as 500. I was at an all-time low as I need to secure a loan in order to offset my son’s medical bills. Until, I came across a testimony about SKY CREDIT SOLUTION. I decided to give to give them a try. My score now is 766, they cleared my student loans and removed the evictions and late payments in my credit report, all in 9 days. With the good trade lines they added I was able to secure that loan I needed for my son’s medicals. Reach them on SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM/ (+1 620 399 6316). THANKS

It's especially rich considering Gitlab is, or at least was, an almost identical clone of Github. Didn't they actually use Github's exact HTML at the beginning, including several instances of "GH" or "GitHub" as class names etc?

Baseball mystery: Why do players live longer?
I'll butcher this explanation, but part of (actually a lot of) the blame is governments saying they need to have a balanced budget or surplus, thus performing austerity since 2008, but making the vulnerable in society suffer (guess why the working class are a bit angry nowadays, voting in right wing populist governments and morons like, well, you know who).

In an ideal world, the government would borrow money and spend it in infrastructure and social projects; this would keep people employed, and employed people would be saving less for rainy days but spending a bit more, keeping the economy spinning and demand up.

So nowadays people with money don't know where to put it to make it grow, incredibly this has also lead to Bubble 2.0, investors being attracted to startups like Uber or food delivery crap where they use investor money to build tech to exploit the under-employed (see above), because, well, these "unicorns" promise good ROI!
Feeling frustrated is totally justified. I'd feel frustrated, too. And no-one is more sorry that you're feeling frustrated than I am.

However, "total radio silence" is not fair. We're very active, and very vocal, about our status updates and progress we're making on the Flickr Help Forum, on our blog, on Twitter, etc. In particular, Flickr now has a CEO (me) who frequently engages with the community and customers to keep them informed, something Flickr hasn't enjoyed since ~2005.

We even have a status page, with frequent realtime updates, which I believe is a first for Flickr: https://status.flickr.net

There is a single feature, Camera Roll, which is still offline undergoing maintenance. No-one is happy it's offline, but it is what it is. It relied on technology internal to Yahoo, which we had to leave behind when we recently exited their datacenters. Given the hard deadline and the vast size, scale, and scope of the Flickr service, we managed to move everything (while keeping it online) except this. It will be returning shortly, but it's not quite ready yet.

I hope you'll stick it out with us, because we're nearly done migrating one of the largest web services on the planet, which means we get to focus on building again instead of just copying. The future is bright.

Disclaimer: I'm the co-founder, CEO & Chief Geek at SmugMug, the company that acquired Flickr from Yahoo last year.

It's just a little bit disingenuous to describe it as "building your own browser".

Because a browser has so many features at this point that it basically contains an operating system. So to duplicate that its just necessary to start with some existing browser and tweak it.

Out of the thousands of features that enable me to browse across diverse websites, what percentage of those features did you implement in your "new" browser?

What does it actually do that is different from WebKit?

The technology doesn't exist yet but I'm talking about a facial recognition technology that is on par if not better than the human eye.

Such a technology is on par with a lock. Because it is basically impossible for any human to imitate another human to a degree where they can murder someone and pretend to live his life. It's easier to copy a key than it is to reproduce a fully identical face.

Twins being the exception to all of this, but with facial recognition devices that beat humans this still remains a possibility as no two faces are alike.
Getting a genuine battery is probably the bigger problem there. For an average joe, the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of any "genuine" battery they find being a counterfeit.
We use Gitlab for work because the self-hosted version is free. For small companies Github is a pretty steep unnecessary expense, and we appreciate control over our own servers. Unless Github makes a self-hosted version there isn't really a comparison for us.

To me Github is about the community. Lots of open source software and forks of that software, you can put your profile on your resume. Gitlab has more features and self-hosting; Github has a coding social network.
Can I ask something that will sound incredibly naive?

How complicated needs to be an IT infrastructure that lets you book a taxi via an app and pay the driver? Is it really something to throw billions at each year? Sometimes I feel these companies are throwing billions in IT simply because they're expected to be disruptive technology companies, and not for real technical reasons.
