1. Yes, git should definitely appear in a common / transverse section. Oh, I see it now appears.

2. What do you mean "missed when moving the roadmap to the website"? Don't you have an automated deployment setup?

3. I see no code at all in the repository. This looks like free-to-contribute documentation, not FOSS then. Still, very good thing that you did it.

4. Also, besides web (that you cover) and embedded (as mentioned in other comments, and writing device driver can be considered similar), there is still also desktop applications, signal processing oriented programming (including electrical, sound, image and similar) and their number-crunching oriented cousins (machine learning, smart data import with added value, data science and similar) and security. I personally know startups that do each of these.
> I think Zotero started out as a Firefox extension, and when Firefox deprecated those in favor of the new-style WebExtensions they saw the writing on the wall and converted it to a standalone XUL application.

To add a bit more detail / a slight correction: Zotero did indeed start purely as a Firefox extension, but Zotero Standalone was released in 2011[0], far before the switch to WebExtensions. For a while, the Firefox extension and Zotero standalone were equally featured — i.e. you could use just the Firefox extension, or use Zotero standalone + the Chromium connector extension, and in both cases you'd get the same functionality. After the switch to WebExtensions, the Firefox extension was reduced to being purely a connector, just like the Chromium one.

Huh. I thought IPA was universal. Bummer.
Bitcoin not as bad for the planet as everyone thinks
I partially agree. The backend map seems really wishy-washy. The front end map seems much more useful, just because it's more limited in scope. It would be better I feel with in depth tutorials for every step, or links to them, with achievable goals at every step, kind of like a testable curriculum.
There is. You can try to give a neutral perspective. It won't be perfect, but you can read a staunch difference between those who try and those who do not. And the information gain is vastly better if you read the former. It isn't even comparable, it is a whole other league. I cannot comment on PBS here.

Sure, the topics picked can very well be political, although that has degraded somewhat to topics that generate clicks. But that is nevertheless a huge problem and I believe correlated to the low trust in media overall.

Or look at elections. A press staunchly favoring a candidate wouldn't be able to hold that candidate accountable. That is another huge problem, because that is their primary raison d'être.

Some even go that far that a worse candidate is preferable in that situation if it means the press as representatives of the public reports critically. Could explain some things.
Probably for the same reason people downvote when the same comment is copy-pasted all over a thread; I don't need to be linked to somewhere else in the same conversation. I especially don't need to be linked to somewhere else in the conversation that _I have already read because it is higher ranked_. Also possibly: following an opaquish link to find yourself on the very same page is annoying, and kind of the opposite of insightful, which you might be hoping for.
It's not really that radical of a thing to do though. Word has the same sort of behaviour except utilising backspace. If you type " - " in word it creates a bulleted list, hit backspace once and you get the literal text you entered.

I'm not entirely sure which is the less-worse option here but at least it's not a wildly new concept, just a different button.
I wonder at what is the age (and SD?) that a building is decided to be an historical artifact that we're not allowed to restore? The Giza pyramid, the Acropolis in Athens, and many more like it are just left to decay. But we constantly maintain buildings like the Eiffel tower and thousands of historical buildings in cities.

I think it's a shame that some buildings are relegated to being ruins, rather than being actively maintained.
Doing some security debugging on Slack desktop a year or so ago, I saw that you could easily open up a Chrome debugger port via CLI option to use with puppeteer/chromedp/etc. I haven't checked lately, but in theory it should be easy enough to connect to the debug port and run this short script to get the same benefit in the Electron app.
Excel is the tool used most widely by paying customer non-techies.

'Making sense' is not the issue here, motivation is.

> The fact that standard PDFs are difficult to edit is more of an accident than a feature, as PDF’s roots are in printing, where only final-form documents needed to be transmitted.

I disagree with this - I was an IT journalist when PDFs came out and all the blurb at the time was centred around the advantage of being able to create a document and know that it could be displayed by anyone, irrespective of machine, OS etc while retaining visual fidelity.

PDF only became a thing in the print production world quite a bit later. For many years, you were making sure your printer got the QuarkXpress Files and all the high-res asset files collected together into a single folder and zipped up.
I think this buries the lead a bit, the real story is that the aforementioned private equity firm is connected to (e.g. domain name was registered by) the former CEO of ICANN.

I'm guessing they are copying medium? Which also sucks for code. Sure, do whatever is best for non-coders but please give coders a markdown option as it's what we're using every place else.

I recently did my first post on medium. I wrote the post offline in markdown, copied and pasted it in. Was first disappointed medium didn't support markdown so I had to go reformat all of it. That sucked and had several of the same issues mentioned in the linked article, like for example putting the cursor at the start of a `inline-code-block` and typing puts what you're typing outside the block. The only way to edit the start of the block is put the cursor between `i` and `n` in `inline`, type your new text including a new `i` and then delete starting `i`.

Another issue is it changed all '' and "" to ‘’ and “” which I didn't notice and made all the code blocks not copy and pastable from the article.
Great work. Any code available please?
One of the major worries that I've had when launching our marketplace was poaching; What if clients (the demand side) decide to hire developers (the supply side) outside of our platform? Of course, we had rules against that in terms of service, but hey, circumventing those is not a big risk.

But, luckily for us, the value that we provided to both parties (and still do) outweighed the risk of losing their accounts for violating TOS, so we very rarely see that.

Regarding chicken and egg problem, we manually found and pre-screened 10 people to provide supply in advance, so when the first client came, they'd have someone to hire. Earned $13 the third day after launch. Happiest day ever :)

Today we have 19 employees and are profitable (we've hit profitability the third year, we're now 7 years "old"). https://codeable.io

Ask HN: What's the best place to start tech blog?
Hi HN community!

I'm recently thinking about starting my own tech blog, or simply a place, where I can drop tech-related articles. The main goal is to build my online presence, keep the track of the things I work on or issues I come across - so I can use it later on to laverage the recruitement process.

I'm looking for a kind of aggregate, like Medium, to reach as many people as possible. Recently I found Steemit idea quite interesting, but I fell it's not that much popular.

I wonder what sites you can recommend :) BR,

>I would bet a lot of money I already know the pitch. It's the same one that the Confluence PM I'm sure made. "We have done very well selling to technical programmers and hip startups, but the market is so much bigger. shows Office 365 revenue numbers vs Slack revenue numbers. We have an opportunity to take this to the next level. We need to make this the goto office communication platform. cheers.

You're probably right. However, Slack will never be _the_ goto office communication platform until it integrates with AD and that will not happen because MS has competing software (Skype for business previously known as Lync).
The flow of pasting such strings is not great either. Previously you could paste a string with backticks and it would be formatted correctly on send.

Now the behaviour is to ask you every time to apply formatting. There is an option for "don't ask again" which I tried assuming it would make autoformatting the default, but it turns off the behaviour completely with no way to get it back!
Maybe consider that we have literally hundreds of priority tasks, all of which are legitimately very important, and that while we can spend the time necessary to install and maintain non-turnkey solutions, we’d really prefer to work on one of the other priorities with that time.

> they quite likely have done lots of user testing that has shown clear desirability, improved value to user, improved usability

I have never worked at a company that did user testing or if they did it was always done in a way or interpreted in a way to back up the designer's opinion. I don't think I've once in my entire 40 yr career seen a designer test with users, find out something was bad, and change their design based on the test.

Has any one else?

To be clear I have seen a designer test themselves and re-design but I've never seen them test with users and re-design. I've also seen them change a design, put it out in limited release, then claim "we didn't get any/many complaints so it must be okay" without a thought that the majority of users never complain (either don't know how, can't be bothered, never considered it might be useful, clicked the feedback but that doesn't actually make it back to the designer, combinations of all of the above)
You've managed to put my feelings in words really accurately.

I don't know if this is the best way to be, but it works remarkably well!

Maybe something to add to the website or FAQ? I searched the page for a long time for anything that would indicate it was a general tool, and since I didn't find anything I assumed it had some game-specific features or wording in the product that would make it a bad fit for any other type of development.
> That's quite humbling.

Well, yeah. But also some things are just that hard. There's lots of talk here about the rocket equation. Doing X requires at least Y effort. Maybe building a railroad from the quarry to the monument site will save you a bit, but you still have to move a lot of really big rocks.

Not biblical, but in the same spirit
""" And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' """

In some ways, it's humbling, but really, i'll never be as rich as the wealthiest among us. I can't have this sort of vanity project.

In some ways, it's comforting. No matter how powerful you are, as time passes you will be forgotten. Everyone will be forgotten. I'm clearly not Ozymandias. But we all end up the same.

Most importantly (in my humble opinion) it's just sort of sad. So much blood sweat and tears devoted to vanity.

I wept when i saw the 5k year old linen at the met. So much time and effort to produce cloth, with such primitive tools. Perhaps the pyramids were a public works project, which has some redeeming value. But a road, or a waterway, that's a thing that would ease the burdens of hundreds of generations.

i suppose i'll take your much more modern view (by like 3k years!) "All things are full of labour"

perhaps it's best to labour for the benefit of our collective decedents.

> It is a not a problem where 'unique' or 'customised' are competitive advantages. 'Boring', 'available', 'reliable' and 'well understood' are competitive advantages.

This analysis overlooks the importance of "hype" and "convenience" in the marketplace -- case in point, MongoDB. To this day people are realizing what a mistake it was to abandon constraints and transactions given to them by their "textbook relational databases".

> Relational databases are a great way to store small quantities of arbitrary data and PostgreSQL is a textbook relational database.

Just want to make sure no one is mislead by this, Postgres scales to the amount of data needed by I'd argue 90%+ of the companies -- I'd bet my money on a single appropriately configured small-to-midsize Postgres instance being enough to handle your business needs for the next 10 years (if your company lasts that long) and beyond.

Also, Postgres's flexibility is indeed a huge competitive advantage. It can handle both full text search[0] (which I argue is usually good enough) and timeseries[1] data (better than InfluxDB can, in some cases[2]), made possible by it's extensibility. This is a competitive advantage for small to midsize companies that don't want to dedicate one person to mastery of Elasticsearch (which is often necessary), along with deploying & managing more infrastructure.

If it's a single channel white noise generator, then a coherent two-channel microphone setup (using hidden bugs or laser microphones) would already be sufficient to perform source-separation [1] between a single speaker and the white noise. I guess this is why you usually use multi-channel white noise generators, e.g. [2].

Smaller doses of DMT are also enjoyable. You can mix a bit with some tobacco, roll it into a cig and smoke it slowly. It wont take you to the level of ego death but will give you a feeling of the effects while you still maintain full control of the trip.

Edit: This works when you smoke changa. I never tried it pure so I don't know how well that would work in a cig.

Have you tried something git based? That way the tickets, etc, exist on your machine and there's no real risk of being de-platformed.

there would be quite a lot of surprise if the US sent in a SEAL team to shoot him.

Of course there would be a lot of surprise, that would be an open act of war. The US's preferred method would be a drone strike operated from within the US borders, just as Russia's preferred method is with some radioactive poison.
My takeaway from your post is probably completely surprising to some, but:

A trapezium is a table? (Checks etymonline) And apparently indeed, trapezium comes from a Greek word that means "little table" from "trapeza" meaning table. The things you learn.

(For those who can't read Greek, the Greek writing in YeGoblynQueenne's post are "to trapezi" and "ena pouli". I can read Greek since my mother studied Christian theology and had the alphabet in prominent display to help her learn it, but I can't understand a word of it.)

It might be a shame for an old tradition to go away, but in a capitalist world, the usual reason something gets replaced is there is a more efficient way to do it.

In this case, it's ebooks and learning over the internet. The need for the paper book is diminished, and it is a waste of our human labour for thousands of people to be working book stalls for entire lifetimes when there is a more efficient way to disseminate knowledge.
I for one am still waiting for usable task management SaaS - one that doesn't limit me to "epic/project/task" split, but instead recognizes that the work is being decomposed recursively, and has dependencies.

All I really want is a system that lets me arrange my tasks into a DAG. B is a subtask of A. C and D are subtasks or B. E is a subtask of D. F is a subtask of A, but depends on D being complete. It's simple and matches how people think about work. Add a capability for estimation (for the love of $deity, in durations, not dates!), and you can pull a critical path diagram straight out of it.

Is it so hard to make software like this? Why nobody does? And how come that some project management packages (like JIRA, AFAIR) explicitly mention subtasks as non-features, because they're not "agile enough". The only piece of PM software I've seen that's even capable of what I want is YouTrack by JetBrains, but even there, the graph nature of tasks is only an afterthought; the product tries very hard to look like Jira, with all its bad features.
90% of affiliates are very small players that don't have any bargaining power. In most modern platforms, all the referrers are tracked.

Any DIY skills, may it be plastering a wall, hanging a mirror, painting a wall, unclogging a waste pipe. Youtube is filled of videos from people that gets your inspiration going, and many things that seemed like a drag are actually both relaxing and enjoyable as you broaden your skill-set, and it will save you tons of money as you become more independent as a human being.
Not to be disparaging but you have written a pdf alone that has not been refereed in an academic publishing setting. Calling it a paper in this context would seem to imply otherwise.

Dude. I come from Ukraine, it is literally a developing country[1][2], look up the meaning of the word. It does not mean "shithole". The list includes Turkey and Brazil, for that matter.

And sure, the conditions you describe are unimaginable there. But there's more to the world than the Glorious USA and subsistence farming at $5/month.

You are setting the bar waaaaaay too low. There are many shades out there. There are plenty of countries where the opportunities are much more scarce than in the US, but which nevertheless got a lot of things right that the US got wrong.

And you can make your own "real developing country" definition, just don't expect others to know it. Probably for the best to just name the country you have in mind.
