Google Picasa for Mac (the desktop app, now discontinued), was great for that. Keep .jpgs in folders, and use picasa to search and browse on top of that. Seeing at it seems to be a 32bit app, I'll be holding on to Mojave for much longer than usual.
I have a habit of recommending FF to my colleagues. We're based in Germany, and many of us are non-natives. On-page translation is the most common reasons they stick to Chrome.

I hope when this is included in a stable release, it'll convince some of them to make the shift.
Obviously not. There is a difference between blaming the pilots - I am not, and saying the plane was "unrecoverable" the system was "unstoppable".

Luckily if flying in the US the chance of the AoA being faulty in the first place would be a less I would argue than flying for lionair. My co-pilot might be quick to help. I might be quicker to get off automation and manually fly / trim.

Some of the self reports from the US specifically credit co-pilot assistance in averting a problem. See this one during takeoff - worst time to be heading towards ground at 1,500 FPM!

Within two to three seconds the aircraft pitched nose down bringing the VSI to approximately 1,200 to 1,500 FPM. I called "descending" just prior to the GPWS sounding "don't sink, don't sink."

Other side:

"PM's (co-pilot) callout on "descending" was particularly quick and welcome as I was just coming back to my display after looking away. System and procedures coupled with CRM (Resource Management) trapped and mitigated issue.

Synopsis

B737MAX Captain reported an autopilot anomaly in which led to an undesired brief nose down situation."

This was a full GPWS don't sink alert situation - very cleanly handled - the co-pilot BEAT the automated alert, the recovery was good. Should pilots have to deal with this? No. Did chain of safety work here? Yes - though closer to edge than one would like.

My own impression - US pilots much quicker to get off the automation / don't trust it as much / have more comfort or experience hand flying statistically maybe.
same here. Admittedly it supports just a few language pairs but the translation quality is consistently and considerably better than Google Translate and other major offerings.
I have used it for translating several academic writeups, including proposals and papers from English to German. It works like a charm. Also, translates German official letters from banks and government, to English pretty well.

I mean, the problem isn't the university or the students or the people on the board. It's how the CCP uses its relationships to push its agenda and (incompatible-with-ours) values in an oppressive way on non-Chinese entities. This is just another example of how deep the rot is. (Yes, yes, the US does the "same thing", and I'll care when the US turns into a dictatorship that arbitrarily takes your job, livelihood and family for speaking out against it with zero recourse, transparency or accountability)
This article just sort of meanders without going anywhere or providing any insight. Certainly no new insight. Docker the company didn’t manage to solve the right problems in time. K8s hype is through the roof.

But the irony is that the Docker infrastructure is a critical dependency for the vast majority of K8s users. And if it falls apart, a lot of stuff is going to break. I hope someone has some contingency plans for Docker Hub going away.
I use it since 2 years, mainly for French->English and occasionaly for English->French. I love it. It understand very well idioms and propose excellent translations. Even for traduction of single words, it is far better than google.
>At least they respect international rules, China just ignores them.

Huh? The US has been famous for not respecting international rules. From toppling the legitimate government of Iran back in the day all the way to the Iraq war and further on (including things like not recognizing the war criminal court, and even threatening it, etc).
I guess you mean CGI.

This sounds a bit disingenuous - of course Kubernetes was going to be interesting to management in a way Docker isn't. It's all about scale.

And you couldn't have arrived at Kubernetes without Docker; it seems weird to present the situation like one is replacing the other.
Indeed; I would consider this story (by the HowStuffWorks guy) required reading if you’re in the field.

We have a lot of important decisions to make soon regarding what kind of society we want in the future.

True!

And it also has a very good web version so you can easily browse the documentation even if you are not on your main work computer (from home, from a coleague's desktop or laptop). This is a feature I really on all the time actually.

IMHO MS has really step up their game in terms of the web versions of their apps. A couple of years ago we were still being force fed this clunky outlook web version that only worked properly in IE, and now we have popper functional cross browser web apps for everything.

Are you being sarcastic? I've been wearing contacts and glasses for nearly 40 years. Contacts are absolutely an absolute pleasure compared to glasses. I only wear glasses when I absolutely have to (i.e., right after I take out my contacts until I have to go to sleep at night and vice versa in the morning). For instance, I hate working out in glasses. They get all foggy and start slipping down my face from the sweat. Doing high intensity sprints in glasses is the worst.
That's a solid point. When I picked the name, I was thinking about the use case that inspired me to create the product. I didn't consider how I was playing into a stereotype.
Bountysource campaign to save the m68k back end in GCC
Two things that are frequently on the HN front page, negative news about China and Indian outsourcing firms.
The m68k backend in gcc is one of the backends which hasn't gone through the CC0 transition yet [1, 2].

This campaign aims to collect donations for a bounty to pay a skilled developer to convert the m68k backend from CC0 to MODE_CC representation.

Without the transition, the m68k is threatened to be removed with gcc-11 which would mean that projects like AROS, NetBSD/m68k and Linux/m68k would no longer have access to the latest version of gcc.

I like this, i wish more orgs would work like that.

Kubernetes feels mostly like a very opaque layer to abstract the underlying cloud vendor... Yet the cloud vendors are managing to get their lock-in back into kubernetes.
Consider this: Sleep deprivation is torture. Anyone being held in a condition like this and not getting serious medical attention -- psychological and physiological -- is also torture. The fact that after several months outside the confines of the embassy-cell, he is still in a condition that resembles torture victims is evidence enough of that. It's also very convenient that it looks like this is self-inflicted and "no one can do anything huh?". Any person other than him would be hospitalized immediately.
I doubt that you'll find you can consistently push or pull 1Gbps from a Hetzner server. I certainly can't. --That's not to say that they're a bad deal, but their total bandwidth is nowhere near what the major cloud providers can give you.
The problem is they do not work for items that are niche. If you find anything, the chances are the review is not in depth or way too subjective and potentially from a person without experience in comparing like products.

Getting a list of hard faults is useful though not exhaustive.

There's the other extreme, relying too much on direct measurements, which can happen at highest end when we don't know which measurements are relevant in what way. (Examples would be mostly luxury - audio equipment, cars, yachts.)
A specialist may be required to make sense of these and they are not easily vetted or found.
I'm having trouble finding which languages this supports. I am mostly in need of eastern Asian languages like Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Will this support them?
The problem with AWS etc is that you need external servers (i.e. no good if it needs to run on the local intranet). Also the cost of adding even a new VPS is much higher than spinning up another docker instance.

I'm pretty sure a lot of companies use docker simply to ease deployment of internal apps.
We're in the same boat. Luckily, I've found an extension that does a decent job, similar to Chrome's in-page translation.

What used to be an independent phpbb board with a logical structure, room for customization and some tools for admins to manage it, became an FB group that is impossible to navigate and manage sensibly, with posts ordered by an algorithm, and which spams me with notifications at the least convenient times.

To be honest, I think Reddit is to blame more for that. It killed so many specialized communities and forums.

At Channable, we have had a great experience introducing Haskell for our infrastructure projects. We have written a few blog posts about this which you can find on our tech blog[1].

- Jobmachine, an advanced job-scheduling system with dynamic dependency resolution[2]

- Vaultenv, a small open-source tool to get secrets from Hashicorp vault[3][4]

- alfred-margaret, a blazingly-fast Aho-Corasick implementation written in Haskell[5][6]

- Sharkmachine, our in-house replacement for Apache Spark[7]

You can make a script that will send it using your coworkers Outlook.
Yes ?
Or perhaps the server taps a button to order food and the kitchen taps a button to clear the ticket when food goes out, and when the wait time is over a certain threshold, the ticket turns red on their screens and the manager notices and that is what triggers the “food is late” chain of events you experienced.

The author here is painting the UK as rolling over and doing whatever the US says, rather than applying proper justice.

This is why people were skeptical of the Sweden charges. It was commonly believed that the point of those charges (whether they were true or not) was to get Assange to Sweden, at which point Sweden could roll over, do the US's bidding and extradite him to the US.
Thank you for flagging. They are one notch away from the ilk of InfoWars (Alex Jones) and Danger & Play (Mike Cernovich). What sucks is that HN publishes to the feed APIs before flagging/moderation happens, polluting aggregators and other media sources with phony news.
Further complicated by diplomatic immunity in this case. If it was just an extradition case the US would probably be more willing to play ball.
He will be forgotten in ten years.
And for a good reason.
> That’s all correct, but you’re choice of starting point is a bit misleading.

The commenter who made the accusation of present leftism chose the time period of interest (the last couple decades.) Discussing within that frame rather than changing the subject to the distant past isn't "misleading".

> FDR was not a center right neo-liberal.

FDR died more than 70 years ago.

I mean, I might just as relevantly point out that Thomas Jefferson was a follower of the kind of old-school liberalism that modern center-right neoliberalism seeks to return to in reaction--at least within the Democratic Party--against center-left progressivism.

> There was a brief interregnum during which Clinton and Obama governed as center-right economically and center-left socially.

Well, except the Democratic Presidents governing from the economic center-right include Carter, as well; 1977-2008 isn't all that much shorter than 1932-1968 (the FDR-Johnson period). It was no "brief interregnum".

> To someone who grew up during that period, the allegations of socialism from the right never made any sense to me. It was only recently when Democrats started fighting to distance themselves from Obama that I understood the criticism from the right.

But the criticism you didn't understand didn't concern the times that you describe it as making sense. So...how did the later change validate it?

> I would also argue that you’re understating the profound shift that has happened in the last two years. The Green New Deal is an openly socialist document, and every Democratic candidate has committed to supporting it.

(1) The shift didn't happen in the last two years, more like the last 5.

(2) You are overweighting establishment candidates seeking deny candidates challenging the establishment ground to fight from, while burying substantial differences in policy below the level of headline positions; its a fairly standard strategy. Also, the GND is not, in any case, an "openly socialist" document; it does endorse both environmental and social-democratic goals, but does within a capitalist framework.

> It’s again the party of FDR

I think you are jumping to conclusions on the flimsy basis of early primary campaign strategy.
In that case, TCS will pay a price for it in the long run.
I'm not particularly fond of Docker but I don't see it going away any time soon. I acknowledge there has been alternatives around which were better in some aspects than Docker yet haven't worked in a single company that didn't use Docker with Kubernetes or other orchestrators (e.g. AWS ECS). Not saying they don't exist, but it's very rare on my experience (both as fte and as a consultant).

Also I have never met a dedicated "docker expert" as the article calls it. I mean, is there any company out there who's hiring people that only knows Docker? Does that make any sense?

Docker may get replaced by alternatives as they start getting more traction over time but I don't think this will happen all of the sudden - Docker is still relevant for good or for bad.
That depends on your app portfolio (naturally), how impacted it is by k8s version changes, and how much cloud specialization it requires.

You're probably better off on k8s than just about anything you didn't write yourself wrt to vendor lock-in. The true lock-in, IME, are when you use cloud features that aren't portable. Humble apps are fine, but ambitious apps are bound to those ambitious capabilities.

Seen next to comparable parallel installations it's a pretty minimal of per-environment specialization, and you can generally tweak the environments to support transparent parallel deployments. It's the differences in how load balancers work and which resources are immediately available that create work since the abstraction layer may not fully abstract away the environments.
At my university, someone did a demo of what ordering a pizza would look like online, using Pizza Hut's site as an example, sometime in 1994-95.

I remember thinking to myself that was a ridiculous idea, because all of the stores would have to be wired up to the Internet, and who would do that?

That ignored, of course, the possibility that a central location could take the orders and communicate them to the individual stores (which is how it worked for phone ordering at one point, maybe even today), and I completely whiffed on the future ubiquity of the Internet.

You could have made a fortune betting against my computer prognostications in the 90s.
Try out a couple of brands. Some last better than others. Only wash as necessary. This really depends on how you sweat and what sort of activities you do: If you aren't all that sweaty, you can probably get at least 2-3 days out of each. Wear an apron while cooking and other sorts of things to keep it clean a bit longer.

Don't let your cat knead your stomach with her claws: You'll eventually find little holes. That might just be me, though :)

Granted, all of this might not get you all that far, but is worth a shot. I generally have fewer shirts than you that last at least a year (some are long sleeve, some short, all black).
It's so hard to understand what is correct (I'm aware this is a problem with every news story) between the people telling me that they're almost certainly evil, keeping logs and selling data and those that are telling me that it's a smear campaign by the competing VPN providers.

My gut tells me that the level of advertising and incredibly low prices is too good to be true...

Now with this hack it's the same problem, how bad is it, does it affect me and should i be concerned?

That isn't the case. This ruling was made by a magistrate, who only deals with lower cases and administration for bigger cases. The actual extradition case will be heard by a different person.
No direct experience in a given tech is ok sometimes, if they have transferrable experience (i.e. ansible to chef, cloudformation to terraform et al).

Having no experience on any cloud platform and being sold as an expert however is a different story.

I was in college in the mid-90s. I don't know anyone who saw it as a toy. We'd already been using Pine and BBS for many years prior and this seemed like the next iteration of that. The first time I saw the WWW was when I was in a computer lab and someone was on ESPN (or some other sport's website) on the computer next to me. I leaned over and asked them what they were looking at. They showed me what a browser is and how you go to web pages. I tried it out and was hooked. I immediately started to try to make my own webpages. Of course, back then webpages were ugly, but they were infinitely easier to build than these days. No CSS, no JavaScript, just plain HTML and nothing else. Anyway, getting off topic. The WWW was not seen as a toy by anyone that I knew of.
Assuming German company won't have branches in France you will have to register as a freelancer/self-employed in France anyway to pay taxes in France (If you are to become Tax Resident of France).

Also note that first 6 months of officially moving out of Germany you are non-tax-resident of any country if you are self-employed and can pay 0 tax if you do everything correctly.

Regarding choice between fulltime or freelance contract - this is where you need to check pros and cons. As a freelancer contract you should take more money because it involves more risks (in Germany if you are contractor they can fire you with a moments notice, if you are full-time employee it gets much more complicated to fire people)

Unfortunately you cannot just go to tax authority at the end of the year and say "I got this money, now I want to pay tax on it".

TL;DR; Pay tax advisor (good one) in France for an in-depth consultation if you are serious about this, it will be worth the money.
I'd love to see a comparison between job ad terms and popularity on stack overflow & co. From the, admittedly little, experience I have with job postings, I've felt that a lot of those that are actually looking to hire (and aren't just using job ads as cheap PR/marketing) tend to be a mix of "it'd be nice if the person knew about X", "let's make this look interesting, so people actually bother to apply" and "hey, I've read an article about Y recently, that's a thing, right? put it in there".
Coming from someone who only uses docker for development purposes, Kubernetes feels like an overly complicated solution for a problem that 1% of development teams need.
I thought I understood this but the lockup that everyone in this discussion is alluding to has surprised me. Should the tax man not count the price of the security on the day the lockup ends as the strike price? Otherwise, any time you get discounted options with a lockup, it appears you should assume the options will go to zero and budget the tax accordingly. Or am I missing something?
Let’s assume this trend continues for another couple decades. What happens next? Something has to rise from the ashes, right?
I know no one wants to hear this but Assange wouldn't be in the mess if he had conducted his operation more intelligently. Others have done similar actions and faced no repercussion. This is the fault of Assange's hubris and lack of attention. I used to be a huge Assange and Wikileaks supporter but I haven't been for quite some time. He/they made serious but entirely avoidable mistakes.

Edit: Fwiw I support whistleblowers and government transparency and the end to rampant unconstitutional surveillance overreach but I simply couldn't support Assange after finding that he crossed a known ethical line with the inducement and material support. And Chelsea Manning should've never went to jail. Shes the true whistleblower in all of this. And Adrian Lamo and Assange are the ones that made serious yet avoidable mistakes. He simply should've acted as a carrier/news organization but he/they didn't do that. That and the support from Russia and eagerness to influence the election at all costs while maintaining impartiality is laughable. Maybe Assange could've been a force for good if he hadn't taken sides.
