I think it's partially embarrassing when that happens. Hindsight is 20/20, and people will think it was obvious that it wouldn't be the way you expected.

It's hard to argue that I had justification to think that novel intervention X would have an effect. It turns out it doesn't. Science is often very specialized, there's little chance others would have the very same idea. If it works out, the argumentation would have to be reversed: my idea was very novel and non-obvious but as I show it actually works, which no one would have guessed.

The negative result story only works if the research community would have very strongly expected to see the effect, almost reversing the role of the null and the alternative.

Wasn't this proposal to add the client-side tracking to their hosted on-premises product?

They don't have any visibility in how those instances are being used, and wanted to use the telemetry to get that. (Not understanding that often, the entire point of choosing to host your own instance is to avoid this in the first place)

Nah, there was a guy (a photographer) who set up a camera system that was triggered by passers by. There was a lawsuit[1] as to whether it was legal and who owned the photo (one of the subjects happened to be very orthodox, and I guess photos are forbidden), anyhow New York decided the work belonged to the photographer who set up the auto trigger system. It was dismissed as being an artistic expression by the photographer.

There was also a photographer who was in Britain for some show. He wanted to do some photography but wasn’t allowed as he was only there as a tourist and didn’t have a work permit, so he handed his camera to his daughter. He then set up an exhibit with her work. I’m not sure who “owns the rights” but he assigned them to her so as not run afoul of his visa.

It was done. There even was those small banners that said something in the way of "if you have gmail I won't mail you" etc.

Thing is, the broader public don't care. The difference between gitlab and gmail is primarily that developers care more about this stuff and value their code more than most people care about their email. They are also much more informed in the matter, most using gmail haven't got a clue.
> We also know that the previous OTV-4 mission involved the test of Aerojet Rocketdyne's XR-5A Hall-effect thruster, a type of electric propulsion system that offers greater efficiency for satellites and spacecraft maneuvering in orbit. This was officially in support of the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite program, but the technology could be valuable for other space-based systems, as you can read about more here. In August 2018, during OTV-5, the X-37B modified its orbit using an unspecified onboard propulsion system.

If I had to guess, they're experimenting with novel, relatively untested ion and hall effect type thruster systems that have very low thrust in newtons or kilonewtons, but very high specific impulse. Before putting things like that on billion dollar geostationary military communications satellites (or LEO/MEO radar imaging satellites, or billion dollar NRO satellites), they'd want to qualify them in space.

Maybe the spaceplane design that can return a used thruster was a happy coincidence between two different programs, allowing them to do a destructive teardown on a thruster that's been used for two years, to better determine its possible failure modes.

Things in the same general category as this, but with new and radical designs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_thruster

Extremely high specific impulse thrusters can result in satellites with much longer operating lives, for the same weight (in kilograms) of pressurized fuel tank storage, and same volume. Either from LEO things that can accelerate themselves periodically to maintain orbit, counteracting the effects of drag, or for geostationary satellites, keeping position longer than a nominal 12-15 year life span.

You can use render functions instead of templates if you really want that.

On the vulnerabilities... working with flash made me abandon it at home years before the iPhone. Flash, Java and PDF are some of the biggest sources for browser security flaws historically... and that doesn't even touch the complexity of some nearer term flaws that would have been found eventually.

A better question is, how do we have radar systems that can monitor aircraft at Mach 52 and tell that an object at 80,000 feet and 20,000 feet is the same thing? And why are they sharing that with the public?

edit: but to answer your question, a meteor.
But the starting point in the example was

<item name="name" value="John" />
<item name="city" value="London" />

where the key names are used as attributes, so it wouldn't work with arbitrary key names either, right?
What bugs me is locking stuff in to exclusives while having a half-baked store platform. It'd be one thing if their service was near parity with Steam, but they started doing this while it was missing essential features.

Stuff like cloud sync for game saves or being able to buy games as a gift to someone else's account. It's 2019. You shouldn't launch a game platform without syncing saves to the account. Looking at you too, Oculus.

It's catching up and I haven't minded the platform for Borderlands, but I'd have felt better about using it if they'd had a more fully baked system to launch with.

I also don't love having yet another game store/updater/launcher platform, but that ship has sailed.
I once lost a job opportunity by passionately speaking about nothing but jiu-jitsu during the interview. They kept asking and I kept talking. After about 20 minutes they said thank you and goodbye.
Valve and by extension Steam have built a very positive reputation.

IMO they have squandered a lot of it lately but they remain very popular and people are just extremely used to the steam launcher.

I for one am VERY happy that somebody is forcing Steam to stop being complacent and is competing on margins (30% is a LOT of money).
What sort of payoff were you expecting? I was satisfied that this guy managed to extract the binary and run it on a legacy machine. The tools worked as expected and in the end we found the artist's message.

Now that multiple sensors are standard, I wish sensor fusion would get some attention. It isn’t clear to me that there are not significant gains from capturing from three camera sensors at once. The big tradeoff in image fusion using only one sensor is loss of temporal precision. You could gain some of that back while maintaining the gains in spatial accuracy if data from multiple sensors is used. Apple’s camera app at least demonstrates that they’re capable of getting multiple camera video streams into main memory simultaneously by showing the out-of-frame view. Maybe that’s the preview/lead-in for AppleTech Pro sensor fusion TM 2020.

Lots of good reasons:

Restricted supply of hot product leads to greater demand and froth... see Tickle me Elmo, early model iPhones, etc. Hype is gold for new products.

Markets that never get demand met will eventually wither as alternatives arrive and resentment grows.

Establish distribution channels early at low volumes, fix the bugs, then scale at maximum profitability.

One part of flash that's definitely appreciated in the artist/animator community is the editor. It's surprisingly simple and intuitive, while still being powerful for power users. Some of the features made it into after effects, but at least currently nothing really compares. Lots of YT/NG animators are still using flash. Newgrounds has an open source utility that can convert flash animations into HTML5 for the sake of preservation iirc.
Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, aka compatibility break.
> The reaction to this whole saga has been insane. Chill out people.

I very much disagree. I think the outcry was warranted, and right now I see GitLab doing the right thing (and, obviously, the outcry was a huge reason for that).

Changing plans in the harsh light of public condemnation isn't easy, and for that I very much commend GitLab. As someone who was very much against the previously announced change, though ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21350146 ), I'm glad the community feedback was so strong.

All native wildlife in Australia is protected -- cute cuddly and deadly poisonous animals equally.

Lizards, spiders and insects found in a home are often caught and released outside in the garden rather than killed (especially the huge huntsman spiders we get here which are harmless to humans). I'll even catch and release cockroaches rather than kill them.
The devtools (Jetbrains Webstorm for instance) automatically detect that `increment` refers to the method. So it actually works quite well in practice. And you can use @click="increment(any, args, here)" if you want. The syntax @click="increment" is just syntactic sugar for @click="increment($event)", I think.
I tried listening to that, but found it incredibly dull. I much prefer Hardcore History, and it's a pity Dan Carlin hasn't yet done a series on the French Revolution.
Network Solutions Security Notice
You could probably write a rule similar to go_repository[1] that would invoke pkgconfig to find the location of local libs instead of downloading a lib.

I wish apple would allow side loaded apps. I'm not saying eliminate side loaded apps all together. Merely, it seems like its a binary view. Either allow side loaded apps and make no attempt to design the installation process with security features, or deny un-approved applications entirely in the name of security.

I think Apple's desktop solution to unverified developers is a good way to split the difference. Deny by default but allow whitelisting. They go even further under the privacy tab and only allow certain applications permission to access accessibility features or full disk access, etc.

I think it's interesting the way climbing apparel makers have gone on to assume such a dominant presence in retail. I recall going into mountaineering shops in the mid 90s when North Face and Arc'teryx were boutique manufacturers that only catered to hardcore alpinists and climbers.

Now, if you go to the mall on a cold day every second yuppie is wearing a jacket from one of the big climbing apparel retailers. Initially they were motivated purely by utility, fashion played no role in their design choices.

If you buy a puffy or a goretex jacket from a non-climbing company it may appear technical, but they're just not as well made.
If everyone knows you're in the wrong, then it's better to concede the point than stubbornly go on pretending like everything's ok. If you do the latter then it might help you in the short-term, but it's a great big red flag telling everyone that you can't be trusted.
This is usually my recommendation for anyone starting out too. It buys you time to learn and prevents simple mistakes that can cost you money. Once you have done it for a few years you'll have seen a lot of the basics and can start doing things differently. That is exactly what I did, started with a real estate company that did my rental management and then as I grew more comfortable and had built up my list of trusted people I stopped renewing with the agencies.

I actually found out that in many cases my background checks were catching stuff the rental agency did not which really pissed me off. I use the local sheriff's office to run the background for $20, and then credit check with an online company for $15. I get a true picture of the person/people this way, the rental agency wasn't doing a background check, it was only a want/warrant check and credit check. I prefer knowing the background of people and being able to deny for valid concerns, like the one I found out had been evicted from their last 3 places but lied on their application about prior evictions. The real estate company running my old checks would have never seen that since they just did a wants/warrants check, but I did and denied these people the rental for lying on the application about prior evictions. That said, I had a young family rent a house from me one time that had been evicted and gone bankrupt the prior year. They never lied to me, were honest as best I could tell, and upfront with me about everything so I rented to them after meeting with them. I only required them to provide a full months rent as security instead of a reduced amount, which they totally understood. Never had a problem with them and they got their security deposit back cause they took care of everything.
Indeed, yet there are various challenges inherent to Moon colonization, such as continuous direct surface impacts due to no atmosphere, extreme temperature surface environment due to 14 day days, lack of various elements (such as carbon or nitrogen), etc.

Still super useful & the short distance overrides much of the downsides.
How can you trust a company like GitLab whose default decision is always bad and then they change direction after public outcry.

Either they don't think before they make decisions or they are just trying to figure out what they can get away with.

This really shows their lack of morality. They kind of remind me of Facebook.

It doesn't seem likely that Instagram or Twitter is going to go away tomorrow. Posting to Twitter and Mastodon means that eventually there would be content and interactions building up over time.

There seem to be two problems with replacing Instagram or Twitter. The first one is money to run servers, fight spam, handle subpoenas, etc.

The other one is having an authoritative directory. How is anyone to know that "ClearAndPresent" on Twitter is the same as "ClearAndPresent@SomeRandomInstance.mastodon"? An obvious way would be to send a DM to a Twitter account but it seems likely that Twitter would shut that down pretty quickly. We've all heard the stories of Facebook (and LinkedIn and ...) pillaging Gmail for contacts.
“G/O Media” censored its writers and video producers that tried to fight ads

The NCAA caved so fast on this. Now they're going to try to get ahead of it and get their cut of the endorsement money that the athletes will be earning soon. This would be a good time for athletes to come together and demand that the NCAA stays out of their lives outside of sports.
> The grouping is unambiguous, so there's no need for popups or space presses to guide the grouping.

...that's the opposite of the comments that triggered my question. Multiple people said space is needed to trigger it, then backspace to remove an erroneously-added space character.

Is the answer that they're using it wrong, and are actually inputting a space directly because the IME already acted for them?
FWIW I also saw it covered on sites like RPS for what feels like years (and might be, it had a very long dev time).

I ended up buying it on Switch shortly after its release.

It is not going to have the profound emotional impact that e.g. Outer Wilds had on me but that goose animation and sound designs are perfect and make for good memes that I will also remember.
XML is/can be much more than a markup language and yes, it can be used very badly but this is usually by inexperienced 'data wranglers' who don't understand the difference between data attributes and data proper.

While XML can seem cumbersome (compared to JSON say) it is a very good 'data transport' tool when used correctly with a sensible schema (XSD).

For example, we use XML as a 'vendor neutral' data format to export/import CAD geometry and associated data for town utilities such as buildings, pipes, roads etc. All this data has to be validated against the schema to ensure its correctness.
Using a schema like this enables the city council to import this XML into the GIS system to be used for asset management, financial planning etc.

A good schema can be key to sharing XML effectively between departments/applications and being a markup language this data can also be viewed independently using XLST.

Does HN have any rules on shilling? I know it's a tough thing to enforce, or detect. There seems to be a fair amount of it in this thread, although I'm not sure if it's "real" shills, or if they actually love the product. Regardless, I think people need to be more careful saying this one book/pill was the only thing that helped. A miracle! I feel like I'm reading one of those sketchy banner ads.
The last time I got any interest worth mentioning on money was more than a decade ago. Yes, assets depreciate, cars more than most. So don't buy new, buy second hand.
The React core team has done a wonderful job incorporating actual CS concepts like algebraic effects into their framework. I understand that it's only an approximation of the real thing, but they're clearly managing to at least get the core idea out there into real production systems.

The Vue implementation seems to ultimately lack this core understanding, and comes off almost a bit cargo-cultish in comparison. React has hooks, so we must have something similar.

I don't mean this as singularly bad, I'm certain Vue can be productive and that this can be a productive feature for Vue devs - but when will we as an industry manage to evaluate software by semantics rather than the syntax we prefer? Does Vue truly offer anything over React that's not in the realm of preferred syntax?

A "Pro" user to most companies is someone who can send / receive emails, and create / edit / share documents, plus google things they don't know.

A "regular" user is one who uses their device primarily for consumption; facebook, netflix and music.

The missing tier is "creators", developers / designers etc - and they find themselves lumped in with "pro" users yet their requirements are just a little bit higher. The market for "creators" is marginal, so it'll never be a focus.

For full control, there's "enterprise" versions of most software but come at a huge cost. This is where some "creators" find themselves as well when "pro" doesn't quite cut it, but generally find "enterprise" is overkill.
