@clarry, thanks for your comment. It keeps us on our toes.

I'm a Frontend Engineering Manager at GitLab for specifically the area of Create, which is where your screenshot falls under.

We do value convenience and good experience. We're in the final steps of preparing a significant improvement to the Repository Browser [1]. We steered away from things like virtual scrolling exactly for the reason you mention: it breaks the browser's built-in search functionality.

We're currently putting the repository refactor up to feature completeness with a plan to make this as fast and useful of an experience as possible on a modern browser. Navigating between folders is much swifter than if we didn't use any JavaScript at all, just to name one of the benefits. Another benefit of using JS here is the fuzzy file finder (press t on any folder and it pops up). All in the sake of convenience. We hope you'll appreciate the efforts we've put into these details.

Feel free to drop your thoughts on the Epic or creating new issues. Tag @andr3 on them and I'll follow up. We're listening.

It's a regurgitation of something Scott Adams (Dilbert cartoonist) has said for years. In Adams' case his example is that he wasn't the greatest artist in the world, he wasn't the funniest joke writer in the world, but he was ok at both and combined they made a cartoon that was very successful.

I guess you could just look at "cartooning" as a single skill in itself, but that's the idea.
I'd agree that the hacker counter-culture that saw technology as a door to Freedom has largely fizzled out and been replaced by hackers who see technology as a path to money. But I cant think of any of the people who were pushing it and are still around today who sold out. Stallman is still a firebrand. I've been reading 2600 again and Emanuel Goldstein hasn't sold out.

Who are you thinking of?
> My understanding is that Craigslist really killed the newspapers.

The newspapers had been steadily dying since the 1970s, but Craigslist certainly didn't help them any.
I came to Grafana via InfluxDB, been running it for system metrics for around 4 years now and it's been a real workhorse. Collecting metrics from around 100 machines using telegraf, presenting in Grafana.

Load significantly dropped when I shut off Carbon/Graphite after moving to InfluxDB.
They wouldn’t be able to charge so much if the laws were published using a machine-readable version control system. Citizens should expect this from their legislature; lawyers shouldn’t be allowed to paywall historical information about public laws. This Git repo is a good illustration of how easily the legislature could solve an important legal problem with free software engineering tools that facilitate reuse and permissionless innovation, rather than leaving companies to solve it with crappy paywalled web apps that contractually prohibit reuse of their content.
There’s a lot more to getting an app to feel native than just shortcuts, unfortunately. A native platform toolkit will do the right thing for your platform, sometimes even if you don’t know what the right thing is or that it exists.
At Caltech (home of Feynman) in the 1970s, his books were not used as the main texts in physics classes, but as supplements.
Sure not. McCarthy wanted to develop a list processing system for the IBM 704 in the mid 50s. He experimented with Fortran and added list processing primitives and then went on to design and implement a new language: Lisp

McCarthy early on proposed to write a compiler - actually this was one of the very very early papers:

J. McCarthy. Memo to P. M. Morse: A Proposal for a compiler. Memo CC-56, Computation Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, December 13, 1957, 19 pages.

At least for the United States, most of the dire consequences are entirely avoidable; we just have to get off our duffs and do some work, and not idle away.

Like the example given in the article of PG&E's rolling blackouts, these are mostly self-inflicted problems that are completely within our technical abilities to fix, we just have to do the work and spend the money intelligently to fix things that we've let go to seed.
For mathematics, I would recommend:

1. "What Is Mathematics? An Elementary Approach to Ideas and Methods" by Courant and Robbins -- a general book on mathematics in the spirit of Feynman lectures.

2. Strogatz's "Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos" -- it's a bit narrow in scope (mostly dynamical systems with a little bit of chaos/fractals thrown in) but very good nonetheless.

3. Tristan Needham, "Visual Complex Analysis", beautiful introduction to complex analysis.

4. Cornelius Lanczos, "The Variational Principles of Mechanics" -- this is a physics book, but one of the classics in the subject, and as Gerald Sussman once remarked, you glean new insights each time you read it.

5. Cornelius Lanczos, "Linear Differential Operators" -- an excellent treatment of differential operators, Green's functions, and other things that one encounters in infinite-dimensional vector spaces. This book has some very intuitive explanations, e.g., why d/dx is not self-adjoint (i.e., Hermitian), whereas d^2/dx^2 is.

For chemistry, I would recommend "General Chemistry" by Linus Pauling, even though it's a bit outdated.
Something unfortunate is that last I checked React didn't really have a good UI lib to give an "app" feel. So something like VSCode or what not would not really be feasible in the most popular libs.. Would be great if there were some UI libs on par with Qt and the like.

EDIT: I fail-skimmed your comment and missed the Qt mention! Glad there are more folks out there seeing the same.
What I'd really like to see is a more generic approach to data visualization done with the same care and expertise as is displayed with the time series visualization currently. Perhaps this would be a different product under the same brand, but I believe that the data viz space has a lot of room for competition - tableaux and power bi, etc... are leaving a lot of room for competition. I'm currently looking closely at redash because of this, would love it if I could solve the same problems with grafana.

*note: I know that to some degree this is possible with current grafana, but if you read through the issues folks have with doing data viz outside of time series, you'll catch my meaning.
If monads are so easy why are there so many articles written explaining them?

I am losing count of how many articles I have seen just on monads. Pretty soon they will catch up to all explanations of why functional programming is the bees knees.

According to the documentation:

:help [I

> Display all lines that contain the keyword under the cursor. Filenames and line numbers are displayed for the found lines. The search starts at the beginning of the file.

:help [_CTRL-I

> Jump to the first line that contains the keyword under the cursor.

Both "] I" and "] CTRL-I" will start at the current cursor position instead.

I did not know about these, but now I am wondering how to reverse "] CTRL-I" and go to the previous result, as it seems quite useful.

I found out that "eradicated" doesn't actually mean "eradicated", it means "we think it is and hope it won't come back"

That said, I'm glad we've reduced the spread of this disease to the point where we think it doesn't exist anymore.

This. Those salaries are basically correlative to cost living * demand for resources.

No this is not related to that. Basically, wuztr helps you find which websites or blogs that accept guest posts. You Can find their Emails and contact them.
I agree that outdated symbols won't be a problem for younger generations, but for different reasons. The "save" icon has long stopped being a floppy disk. It may still look like one (to those who know the object depicted), but it is identified as just "save" and nothing more. If people would identify it with portable media instead of the act of storing the current document, they would also try to use it for loading a document. Nobody does that.

Old entertainment content however, I'm afraid that it might be pretty much lost to those growing up with on demand streaming. In the age of linear TV, back catalog content wasn't just available to consume in lieu of something new, it was actively fed to us by the fixed schedule on failure to tune in when the new stuff was aired. This introduced us to a lot of content from before our time. But with streaming, I just don't see how it would happen, not in culturally relevant volume. Nostalgia is an acquired taste. Just like so many of my generation I madly binged Friends when it appeared on Netflix, but how many streamed Friends who completely missed it's original run?
Maybe. "random" wasn't intended to be the focus of my comment. But even if, I can't see how something like this is feasible. Even with the best of intentions, services get hacked and they break. A tiny mistake (maybe some extra logging, now or down the line) could expose user's data. All services dealing with personal data claim being secure, until users receive that dreaded "we're sorry" email.

Maybe if you allow uploading files (that would be gpg encrypted by users, locally) with some mechanism to have their keys physically sent to their relatives in a way that you don't store it or even have access to it, it'd be something worth paying for. But at this point, one can just get a safety deposit box, and they can give their loved ones the encrypted file(s) even before death.
I actually saw statements to that effect in popular computer media in the 90s. So I wasn't just being funny.
About 20 years ago there was a hacker-comedy group Neato Elito and they had a parody of this "Konshis 0f a Korrier" or something. I remember thinking it was amazingly funny at the time. I don't suppose anyone's got a pointer? The thing was full of misspellings, so I haven't been able to find it with web searches.
> Reading good books/having good lecturers certainly helps, but there is no way to replace the work.

I watch with wry amusement how schools constantly try to take the work out of learning. It never works. It's like putting labor-saving machinery in the gym - you'll never get stronger. You gotta put in the sweat.
There is no uproar about government taking away automatic weapons, as producing new automatic weapons has been outlawed since the 70s. To purchase one, you have to live in a state where it is legal to own, find someone owning a pre-ban automatic rifle and who is willing to sell, do some ATF paperwork, pay some fees, wait some time, and then you can get it. However, given how rare those guns are, we are talking prices around $20k+ (mentioned elsewhere in the thread, I personally have no idea about the actual prices as I have never been interested enough to look into it).

The only uproar about “taking them” that I have heard in the past decade was about taking away guns in general.
Sadly there are not that many availible AFAIK.

although it's true that poverty results in greater obesity in the US, it doesn't have to be this way. Some of the healthiest foods out there are also among the very cheapest.

You can construct an incredibly healthy diet on just 2$ - 4$ per day or less: rolled oats (70c/lb or less) -> can be used to make oat milk, oat meal, baked goods, etc and it lowers your LDL with tons of health benefits.

Other things all can be found for less than 1$/lb => bananas, apples, onions, beans, rice (38c/lb or less at costco!!), bell peppers, grapes (sometimes), potatoes, lentils, etc. Oatmeal and Beans are a superfood, greatly undervalued in our society. The key is to shop in the bulk section of the store.

All these things and more are at least 10 times less costly than mcDonalds, we just need to get the word out. Once there's consumer demand for these things we can start alleviating the food dessert areas in the US.
> Then maybe they should pay for social services

You mean like San Francisco does? They spend $241 million per year on the homeless. And yet, their homeless problem is the worst it's ever been.

You can't just throw money at social problems and hope they go away.
"The report also warns that the US military should prepare for new foreign interventions in Syria-style conflicts, triggered due to climate-related impacts. Bangladesh in particular is highlighted as the most vulnerable country to climate collapse in the world."

This opening sentence of the VICE article is what gives me pause. It seems to imply that the US military will be intervening in all sorts of theaters due to climate change. What?

While I'm sure that the US powers will take every opportunity to increase influence, I don't believe most US citizens would support that. Especially if there were costs at home.

This feels like a report designed to keep military spending at all-time highs. Yes, climate change is an issue that must be addressed now. Contemplating "invading" Bangladesh on the pretense of climate change seems like a bridge too far.
Yea the x399 compatibility will decide when my upgrade happens. The Zen+ TRs weren't enough for me to justify but the Zen2 ones seem like they've finally hit. If I need to do a motherboard and other upgrades that'll delay me doing so for a while (need to see how PCIe passthrough and other stuff settles out with the new chipsets) but in either cases I'm going to end up upgrading to this next gen one way or another.
I did some research, officially Apple does not recommend or support any photo Libraries on a NAS. It has to be a local APFS or HFS+ disk. Insane. My father is now pulling his 120 GB library over wifi to a local disc to see if it can be fixed. They really want you in the Apple cloud. I thinking maybe use Synologies "Moments" but apps get less than 2 stars... Meanwhile over here in Ubuntu-land I have Shotwell sitting in a nice folder structure working perfectly, simple , easy to move to something else and easy to backup.
But I am self hosting just for this reason and got an email yesterday which said I needed to agree to let them add tracking to my self hosted instance. Fuck no!
The outrage machine has damaged our civilization, and must be pushed back harshly, by the liberty machine.

I find it handy to evaluate the source of the outrage by this metric:

If they, personally, would not lay down their own lives in defense of whomever they are “protecting”, especially if they disagree with what that person is doing — they are somebody’s shills, and should be harshly disagreed with.

I hate to followup with a 2nd response but I wanted to add, it really would be a poor priority anyway because they'll never be able to beat Apple or MS at optimizing a browser for their OS.

My advice to Mozilla would be to continue on the customizability and privacy route, and get Firefox on iOS in better shape. It's been freezing on me for as long as I can remember using it. Very buggy, and has played a significant role in losing some confidence in Mozilla.

I live in inner richmond, and checked the difference in commute by public transportation, and it's sadly an hour longer. Even by car, during rush hour, it's likely over an hour from that area to your new location. Does stripe allow folks in San Francisco to work remotely?
Is this anything other than just a webview?
At that point I would seriously question trying to badly port it to the web versus just running guacamole or some other way of rendering actual desktop applications into a browser.
check my above post, you can eat healthy and cost effectively as well.
Your story about surviving layoffs implies that you survived because the interview thoroughly vetted you. Wouldn't that be true of people that were laid off?
In reality, most people don’t have goods that are easily liquidated to make the b&e worth it in the first place. Most houses are are not at risk from professional thieves. Most houses certainly wouldn’t stand up to sustained penetration if there was an established fencable commodity worth the risk. Cops are absolutely terrible at solving crimes even with video evidence. Ring is intended to be a soothing mechanism, not a tool with a well-defined utility value, and it has the side effect of creating citizens who are paranoid for no reason.
The potential "collapse" of the US Military (and what does that mean, specifically?) hinders on the assumption that the US will be engaged in foreign conflicts across the globe.

I think we'll turn isolationist well before that becomes a reality. Foreign policy wonks can talk up and down about the necessity of American troops to protect human interests in Bangladesh, and to prevent destabilization of neighbors, potential conflict involving nuclear states... but I have trouble seeing the Senate voting to deploy troops when their constituency thinks, "who gives a shit about Bangladesh?"
> IMO I'd like to see a base ReactJS with these advanced features being add-ons in some fashion. Keep the version I like to use lean and the complexity just where I like it.

I actually think this is pretty much exactly what the React team has done. They've made very few breaking changes over time; you can still use mixins, React.createClass, and most of the other syntax from 2015 if you really want to. You don't have to use hooks, suspense, or any of the other new features, and they've been quite explicit about their commitment to avoiding churn (because Facebook's codebase also has tons of legacy components that they don't want to rewrite either).

Or if your argument is just that you should have an option to use a React bundle that is smaller in size and excludes the new functionality -- React as a library is actually significantly smaller than it was in earlier versions [0]. They've applied a lot of learnings and improved the architecture over time, such that the framework is faster and leaner under the hood despite still supporting the same legacy APIs.

For what it's worth, I don't think the React team is bored; I think they're trying to conceive of frontend engineering as something more holistic than just the view layer. For example, old-school React is great for encapsulating and reusing bits of view as components, but how do we encapsulate and reuse bits of business logic or interactions? With hooks. How do I compose together my components to give a seamless loading experience, rather than a bunch of spinners and holes in the UI? With suspense. They're not really diverging from a view layer, just thinking at a higher level about how a view is engineered and how to provide primitives and abstractions that make it easy to build a good, complete UX (not just layout).

shrug So maintain it as a third party set of patches. It's not unheard of. For instance, there's a set of Linux patches that improve font rendering. Just because upstream wouldn't accept it doesn't mean that it can't exist.

If Qt works for you, use it. Electron works for many people. I don't like Electron apps very much either, but I definitely prefer working Electron apps on Linux than just not having that app available in the first place.
s/The one area/One area/.

Another is where a better algorithm is available in a library than would be convenient to implement in custom form in C. C++ libraries get a lot more attention to optimization than C libraries because it pays back much more. For example, there are really excellent hash table libraries in C++ that would be unimplementable, as a reusable library, in C. C hash tables are typically hand-rolled in place.
Chrome is not the only web browser out there.

This was also a great comment by Candice Ciresi, the Director of Global Risk and Compliance, 3 months ago:

> Sorry, I am coming in late to the game here.

> Saying we want the UID for easy ID and deletion is one thing. If we actually intend to track and do something, then that is another issue. This former benefits the user, the latter benefits us. Because we stand to get a benefit, users should opt-in. We will also need to amp up our privacy policy. There needs to be full disclosure in what we gather, why we gather and with whom we share.

> The best way to increase your odds of getting hurt is to speak your mind. Speaking out and exercising your freedom of speech is dangerous. Occasionally for some people it will turn out to be a positive, but in general, exercising your right to speech is a negative.

See how crazy this seems typing this out? Few things to cover:

1) It's a civilian right in the US. No matter how you feel about that matter it does not change it. Attempting to remove someone's right should be treated as someone attacking all of our rights. Your feelings do not matter here. HN votes also do not change this fact.

2) Do you have data on your last point? Because honestly some of my fondest memories of my friends and family has been times we've spent at the range or out in the field together with our rifles and firearms. The training received can be applied to many aspects of life, and in some cases be life saving. This is a net benefit.

3) Just because something is dangerous doesn't mean it needs to be pulled away from anyone. Owning a car is dangerous. Owning an oven is dangerous. Owning a knife is dangerous. The list goes on.

4) Cops are not required to protect you [1] [2]. I refuse to be caught as a victim just because I'm stuck waiting for police to arrive. I understand much like keeping a fire extinguisher at home for fire or flashlights for darkness, a firearm is a tool for protection.

In a thread detailing Police abusing power, do you not see the benefit of citizens being able to arm themselves?

At the end of the day it's my right to own my firearms. Myself and others will step up and defend that right to any who attempt to take it. It's also a net positive in my life, providing protection and peace of mind for myself and those I love.
