It’s been a long span of time since I’ve used GitKraken or Atlassian Sourcetree, but GK had some serious performance issues with larger repos in my experience. Very clean app, though, and I did enjoy it.

Right now, Im partial to Sublime Merge[0] as it’s fast, has a clean UI for diffing, shares many similarities with Sublime, and also shows the use what git commands they’re running by hovering. It can be a very effective tool for learning git. It has the same evaluation structure as Sublime, so that’s a bonus as well.

Honest question from a web developer, and I'm ashamed I don't know more, is there a clear concise guide to building accessible websites? I've had to support ARIA for U.S. Government websites, and certain color schemes for color accessibility, but I really don't feel like I know how to build a web product with accessibility in mind. I am genuinely sorry that I haven't developed the skill more, and would like to take this opportunity to learn more.
Not just Hearthstone, but all Blizzard products.

Lack of accountability. They did a calculation, and decided the risk of lawsuits several decades down the line is worth not paying to properly dispose their waste today.
This is the same argument that's frequently used against victims of rape and other sorts of assault - used to deny them justice, on no better grounds than that their own past behavior has been merely human, and thus fallen short of whatever arbitrarily absurd standard of impossible purity that unsympathetic interlocutors choose to establish - and to re-establish, as often as necessary, in order to make absolutely certain that the standard cannot be met.

I wouldn't find that a terribly comfortable place to stand. That you seem to find it congenial gives me to wonder about the quality of your own character. Ordinarily, of course, such doubts would be unworthy of this sort of discussion. But since you've found it meet to broach the subject, why shouldn't we start the inspection of character with you? Clearly you feel yourself above reproach in this regard, so I'm not sure what reason you could possibly have to demur, when I require that you prove, to my satisfaction, your standing to argue as you do on this subject.
I wouldn’t call CS a hard science, it should be grouped with liberal arts like math.
For my RTX2080 (non ti) the killer app is VR, all the bells and whistles to the max and 80fps solid (Rift S) is worth it.

Outside of that use case a 2070 super makes far more sense (wasnt out when I bought mine though).
Yep. All the "it's a private company, they can ban whoever they want" arguments have perfectly primed us to the current state of affairs. Just another reminder that speech you don't like should be protected before it will inevitably result in speech you do like being suppressed.
I submitted this once before[1], but had stupidly forgotten that the repo was set to private!

It got some interest in a comment thread about ORMs[2], so I thought it perhaps deserved another chance.

On the contrary, there has been plenty of innovation around how to make games more addictive and profitable.
And expect it to be rehashed again.

You know, 40+ years ago, if you brought up legalizing gay marriage many would have seen it as attacking interracial marriage. Even 5 to 10 years ago I met many people who held the view that it was an insult and attack on interracial marriage to bring up gay marriage.

Today, if I bring up possible future rehashings, I think people would react the same, thinking instead I was attacking and insulting gay marriage. I wonder how long in the future before we see history repeat again.
Ka-Ping Yee, the original author of Roundup, has done some pretty awesome things. I remember one time I was BSing with a recruiter in the hallway at PyCon, and Ping walked by behind the recruiter. The recruiter stopped talking to me mid-sentence and gave chase: "Ping! Ping! Can I talk to you for a minute ..."
Development has picked up again AFAIK, saw one of the developers give a short demo/talk on it recently and it seems neat.

Godot is a decent OSS alternative to Unity, but no Clojure/Lisp so far as I know :(
> the gaping hole in leadership was filled with someone who cares about the USA

[citation needed], I wouldn't trust the guy with international business interests to actually have America's best interests at heart over his own if the two don't align.

No real dispute with your criticism of the previous leadership though.

Yah I immediately looked everywhere for examples, even checked out the presentation, demo links, no images of what this graphical library produces.
I don't intend to tell OP that their question is dumb. But I am definitely completely missing the underlying question if there is one.
Wouldn't it be possible to combine the approaches? Say, using a <picture> tag where the webp is requested when supported, and if not a jpg is requested, which is generated from the webp on the backend.
Goog has research labs in SH and elsewhere.
This article is kind of all over the place, at first blaming the Guardian but then backing down a bit to say that they had limited resources to fight what would be an expensive legal battle, which is understandable.

> He said he was put in touch with Gavin Millar, a well-known London lawyer who had worked on the Edward Snowden case. Wylie said the lawyer suggested he give the story to a U.S. newspaper because the First Amendment provided a stronger defense against accusations of libel..."it was actually The Guardian's Katharine Viner who reached out to Dean Baquet at the New York Times to help set up the partnership." Wylie’s revelations were published jointly by The Guardian and The New York Times

This should be the main takeaway from all of this. They were making a calculated choice based on the resources they had available. The Guardian should still be seen as a trustworthy publication
Mh that is not really my experience of talking with Venezuelians in Colombia. At all. They sure want Maduro out but certainly don't want the US in, that would be the recipe for ending up like El Salvador in 10 years.
Followup question for those in the know: If domino's hadn't had online-only deals/rewards/etc, would the availability of the phone line have counted as accessible?
It's inconvenient for moderators of fora when the topic of the forum suddenly takes a political action, if they don't want politics discussed in their forum.
If they ever setup an automated global power reach that allows them to censor people anywhere imagine what they could use that for if it ever came to an actual armed conflict or some orchestrated attack on another country.

They could stop people from warning us or confirming afterwards that they were even involved. Hell, imagine what a government could use this for when going to war against it’s own people? Yes, hell.
Now that you bring up specifics, I would believe you are correct. My fuzzy memory kinda confirms that it's more "you can have a glass of wine...or not" rather than "no coffee, only booze".
Online Lidar Map Leads Archaeologist to Maya Discovery
This is a common misconception which reduces structural discrimination to individual resentment. In reality, it does not matter at all whether the actor had evil in their heart — it only matters what the effects are (ability to adopt, hospital visitation rights, ability to immigrate etc).

What applications? A bit more specifics?

Apps can not be zero maintenance by definition. Apps are literally alive, apps mature, evolve, get older, there will always be some kind of maintenance. As world changes, apps change with it.

If ZERO maintenance is a HARD requirement, then think about total isolation. No packaging, and NO ENVIRONMENT CHANGES. With constant, isolated env, it is possible to have a minimal maintenance app.
Liquid Swipe – “Can It Be Done in React Native?”
Thanks, lucideer. OP here. You're correct! I believe that who want to have more opportunities early in their career will benefit from a side project. It can only add value.

And I also agree with mumblemumble, that later on, you might want to focus on some specific skills and make better what you already knows to sell yourself as a specialist, and that's where you can make $$$?

just my 2 cents
The current release of Agda supports literate markdown.

The same IKEA instructions are used around the world where English is not the primary language, so it could be argued that benefits IKEA but not users, and that IKES should translate their instructions into dozens of languages. I think your example supports the idea that IKEA is making the right call here. I've always been impressed with how clear each step is, both for me and for people who don't speak English. Or Swedish, really.
Big pain point, Java 8 was release in 2014, and the java.util.Function interfaces have become very common in practice since then. Clojure is really dying...
You can program defensively, which is a learned skill, and your app might run for years without complaining. But some dependency might change something and a regular push bring everything crashing down until you fix it.

So program defensively and expect to have to do the occasional bit of maintenance.
I made a timelapse of me coding a UI similar to the Overwatch main menu
Most video game companies (and most companies) are not "American, they are "corporate" and have minimal national allegiance and minimal principles beyond "maximize shareholder value". The former is arguably defensible, as national governments are arbitrary borders and susceptible to corruption.
Side projects are the only reason I'm able to continue working professionally precisely because they are not work. Everything about them is different from work. Programming is a great hobby and in my experience turning it into your job destroys it as a hobby. Working on a side project is to find a new avenue for programming as a hobby, so they you can continue programming for money because that's the most feasible way to make money as a programmer, but can also program freely without project managers, conflicting requirements, deadlines, slow/non-communicative/differently-visioned colleagues/customers/bosses on your side projects.
Hum... Are you aware that the UN has no intrinsic power, but is just a forum that hosts diplomatic negotiations?

They're owned by Activision so all Activision products if you're going to do it properly.
According the restaurant owner the lawyer was suing hundreds of small restaurants in the Bay Area. Also they didn't seem to care about the restaurant at all, and were only interested in finding out all violations.

There was a bipartisan bill that passed the House 2 years ago (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/620/...) that aimed at closing drive-by ADA shakedowns. The bill required claimants to give 120 days to business to fix issue. It seems the bill hasn't been signed by the Senate (not sure why, if anyone knows more let me know). This is a good bill, hopefully it will pass.

edit: Found why it didn't pass the Senate. Democrats in Senate promised to filibuster any attempt to bring the bill to the floor. https://rewire.news/article/2018/04/03/sen-tammy-duckworth-s....
I saw something online where a scanned high-resolution image of a record could be played by simulating the record needle. Is it possible to scan or photograph a CD at such a high resolution that the pits become visible? Then you have all 2.5GB of the raw EFM right there. If the CD is scratched the lacquer layer could be removed somehow I imagine.
Think about it this way, every line of code you write will become obsolete one day (e.g. business will change or new version of the language comes out). Every external dependency, where you deploy, how you deploy, the OS where you host the application, even how the user consumes your application will change.

So to avoid any maintenance, minimize - code, complexity and all dependency and use a language and platform that can last a few years. Essentially, in today's world this will be very difficult and doing this will also cost you development time, there is no easy way around it.

For example, you can build your whole app in Clojure, which is rock solid and stable, but even then you will have to patch the OS, JVM, DB etc. With traffic changes you will have to scale up / down.
I've developed a couple of apps that only required a few hours a year essential maintenance. The biggest obstacles have been with being forced to upgrade libraries to work with changes to third party APIs (e.g. payment APIs, ad APIs), upgrades to do with OS changes (e.g. new versions of Android) and applying security patches to dependencies.

To decrease maintenance, generally you want to reduce your dependence on external services that might change, minimise the use of complex third party libraries that might have security problems later, and keep your app as simple as you can to reduce the chance of bugs.

It's hard to predict what changes are going to be required for a given ecosystem (e.g. Android, Mac, Chrome Web Store, web browsers) so sometimes it's a matter of luck unless you can guarantee the OS, hardware, APIs etc. are never going to change.

I'm currently working on a Chrome extension (https://www.checkbot.io) that doesn't require a lot of essential maintenance besides keeping up with changes Google have been making to make extensions more secure. Bracing myself for what breaking Manifest v3 changes are announced.
Ironically, there's little the US government can do here without dragging things back towards the McCarthy era.

What would we have them do? Apply pressure to Activision/Blizzard to reverse the company's own internal policy on "keep politics out of the game stuff?" That's a pretty clear violation of freedom of speech, the press, and / or association, to tell a private company who they must endorse.

It's not unprecedented, but the precedents are very tightly bound (and often tied up in a justification based on use of very finite public resources, such as broadcast airwaves).
Let me know what you think of this style of video! I've been thinking of doing a video series like this where I recreate the UI's of a bunch of popular things. Like Google search or the smash bros character selection screen.
uhhh.... I think they've done a better job of speaking truth to power than pretty much anybody and have shown they are quite comfortable making fun of themselves. Seems pretty moral...

Kutchner may only have small bills (~$200m), but he's not exactly poor.
This isn't actually true. Look up the legal definition of fiduciary duties for US corporations.
There's a big difference between accountability and having to base your actions around what makes you the least sue-able and I think we can all agree that the latter has some serious side effects.
I have had pretty large speedups in the past when switching JSON implementations. About 5x. It doesn't matter much when the times are 0.2 Vs 1s, but when you are working with a couple of MB of JSON the difference will definitely be noticeable.

Python's STDlib is nice, but rarely spectacular. An old naive CSV parser I wrote for Chicken scheme (using a simple state machine) beat python's C-based one.
This whole thread is about holding companies to higher standards than merely doing what’s legal.

I certainly expect that of companies I do business with, or work for. I can quit or boycott.
iOS was forked from MacOS more than a decade ago. Of course some code is shared between them, but they do not have the same base in any sense of the word.
Nitpick but the commons clause license isn't really "open source" as much as "source-available"
Really? I just tried with a sample of one of my files, using python 3.6. With text in memory, 1M smallish strings decoding is 12s with ujson and 25s with the built in json. orjson and rapidjson seemed about the same for this test.
It’s called winning and was the the right call. See bilat deals with Japan and South Korea. And soon with India and the U.K. Oh, don’t forget about USMCA that Congress needs to approve instead of holding back for politics.
Hey developers, own your canonical
Same here. Although there is often some flexibility with smaller companies it is seen as unprofessional to ask for a deposit up front. An alternative approach is to break the work up into smaller chunks and have the payment for those resolved before continuing. For example (as someone mentioned above) an initial assessment of the issue, or making a project plan could be one of the first steps that provide the client with something of value and at the same time show you they do pay on time.

With large companies in UK unfortunately the payment terms are what they are (usually 30 days after invoicing in my case). If you don't like it, they'll find someone who does. It is up to you to decide if the higher rate they are able to pay covers the cost of the delay.
"trusted" is a key word. Parent poster's main flaw was in oursourcing critical thinking and the principal-agent problem.
Without Spacemacs having me brought to the Emacs worlds, I would have never discovered magit. Nowadays I am soo tied to it that I even have a `magit` script that can be called from anywhere:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

emacsclient -c --eval "(progn (magit-status) (delete-other-windows))"

The learning curve is a bit long, but really worth it!

Note: this require you to have setup emacs as a deamon somehow
Meanwhile, suicide and depression rises for children in the UK [1]. I would really rather the NHS prioritize the massive mental health crisis (affecting children and adults) instead of bad parenting.

There are ratings on the games for a reason. Also, there are already laws regarding children and gambling, they simply have to enforce them.

Well, that's the point, isn't it? LessWrong, SlateStarCodex, The Last Psychiatrist- all blogs that say "here's how people work; it's bad; here's how we think they should work instead".
When did they add monero validation? Last time I used it all non btc transactions were using a human arbitrator.
>We need more people like Trey Parker and Matt Stone who aren't afraid of starting some controversy to get a conversation started.

The part of Parker and Stone worth duplicating is that they they somehow have political opinions orders of magnitude better informed than whatever keeps celebrities and tv/movie writers so goddamn dumb.
Chesapeake Bay is sinking due to ground water withdraw

https://www.chesapeakebay.net/news/blog/groundwater_withdraw...

Since people only want to posture about global warming, we can just point and say this is what global warming will do in many decades time, panic.

A sad society we live in.

This is the case around the world, ground water withdraw by humans is sinking Thailand, it sinking islands like Kiribati.

It's a shame the Upper-Middle Class Death Cult distracts us from a solution.
If you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd be interested in hearing what kind of work you provide to clients when hired to consult.
Show HN: Implement a toy video encoder from scratch in browser
What do motion pictures offer that no other medium offers? The answer is moving images.

What I'm saying is that a medium should play to the strengths of the unique thing that it offers over other mediums.

What do video games uniquely offer? Interactivity. Therfore, the video game medium should focus on offering interactivity that would be impossible to get in any other medium.
To be more precise he's the only black fairly major child character. He has a family, there was Chef in earlier seasons, there are a few black minor recurring characters besides those, and there are black single-episode characters. But yes, after the death of Chef it turns out Token is the only major character who is black.
>Again, isn't the consensus that the percentage of white students in elite colleges would go up from something like 66% to 75% if only raw ability were considered? In other words you're getting shafted for being white, in a mostly white country.

Asians are more impacted than this than Caucasians. Claiming its 'raw ability' is also completely false, its developed education and largely based on socio-economics not race.

>Aren't you gaslighting him? It's called kin selection and it doesn't stop at the parents, it expands outwards further and further with no magical border.

Kin selection has nothing to do it. Just because some white people have accomplished things doesn't mean he deserves any credit for any of it.

To assume otherwise is absurd, unscientific and hilariously stupid.

if you want to deny the lived experience of african americans in the US, you're free to do so (it falls under free speech) but frankly I think making ivory tower-level statements like this ignores an extraordinary amount of evidence that african americans (and many non-caucasians) experience systemic racism that affects their economic opportunities and health.
It's really not about morals at all. It's about money. China is the world's most populous country, and a surprising number of American industries are fairly dependent on revenue from Chinese customers. This effectively gives China indirect control over multiple major US corporations. Until recently, this has been hidden behind the scenes exceptionally well, but the curtains are being pulled aside as China is becoming much more brash in their demands. They're effectively demanding that Americans censor their speech in certain contexts or else China will hurt American corporations doing business there. And they're getting away with it.
Google tried censored search (including spyware search) and was fought off, and tried again and was fought off, and may try again.
Hospital visitation is not just "an issue". Taking care of your spouse when they're sick is one of the core aspects of marriage. What else would "in sickness and in health" mean?
It was a really good move for the NBA, they handled it extremely well, did not spur a controversy, just let the situation be and let fans decide themselves how they want to react to it, while also upholding American values in the process, a very classy move.
You can fall to whatever side you wish, but calling someone disingenuous for siding otherwise does not show much of, indeed, goodwill, nor is it just.
Don't forget `git cherry-pick`! IMO that's the most underrated git command.
Too far down that philosophical rabbit-hole you find "There's no such thing as good and evil," which is a philosophy a person can have but not one I'd want to see a country's government embrace as a core tenant. It'd be a pretty shitty place to live for anyone who doesn't have the money or power to enforce their will.
