This seems like it will lead to more CIA arming of militant groups which according to your post means likely more enemy militant groups. I'd liken this to giving police officers tasers or firearms: instead of having to consider de-escalating situations, they can just shoot or tase someone instead.

I would prefer my government be forced to carefully consider whether giving any group weapons rather than "oh yeah totally cool we've got ways to shut them down if they turn on us."
I have somethink like this in the pre-commit script:

It works only for gitlab and assumes that the remote is named origin.

This will create an issue with the title text being everything after TODO. It does not support multiline and only looks at the newly added lines, but does not remove from the commit or alters them.

Many thanks for your feedback! It's very valuable!

How would you market RediSQL? Who you would talk to? In what kind of venues?
I tried this. At least for larger sizes, the price premium is often 2x or more. Also, finding HDR - let alone HDR, HDMI-CEC ("Turn on the TV when the source comes on"), and ARC ("Generate decent audio without two cables") - is hard: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21664952

It's hard to find a consumer TV that doesn't have HDR, CEC, and ARC in 2019. Commercial displays may have other missing features I don't know to look for.

Anyway, expect a 200%+ premium for a product that in nearly all respects is inferior for this task.
> As a German, the word I'm really missing when speaking English is the simple word "doch", which more or less means "No, but yeah".

As a college student I lived with a few German speakers. I felt like I had "arrived" with the language during an exchange in which I said, "Ich kann nicht Deutsch" and the native speaker said, "Doch."

Of course the nuances are a bit more complex than that, and English (it feels to me) uses intonation and inflection more than particles to communicate meaning.
My girlfriend used read them.

One day I said to her: “Maybe they don’t predict the future, maybe they make the future.”

I don’t think she’s touch them since.
The simplest solution would be a clear set of notability guidelines, especially in regards to how much certain aspects like being a woman or a minority makes accomplishments more notable. Being the first black female chess grand champion is probably notable, while being the first black female World of Warcraft guild leader probably isn't.
USA federal prosecution is an extremely capricious and unfair process. That HRC is wealthy enough to hire good lawyers is sufficient explanation for the fact that she was not charged. It may not be the only explanation...
“What does that say about Bloomberg’s integrity“

Nothing, news has become entertainment for the longest time now. Anything with anonymous source and no evidence should be counted as someone’s daydream of becoming sci-fi writer.
Tons of stuff. Various aspects of dependencies, for example, should this affect resolution? Is this a semver range? A minimum version? Is whatever we choose reasonably forward compatible for any extensions we might pick in the future? Can you write `cfg` attributes based on versions? Many of the same questions apply there. Etc etc etc.

It took about a year to get stuff figured out.
Again, I'm not saying we have China's system, but the end of the comment talks about the citizens acting as enablers.

You could sell a lot of people on 500MP cameras to detect people in stadiums "for terrorism", and in fact I'd be surprised if we don't already do something similar

After all, we already saw private citizens scanning faces at events:

That might be an example of a second-order bias as mentioned in the article. Female porn stars may be more often directly cited and thus more "notable" in their field by Wikipedia's standards than female academics who might struggle to have their contributions recognized.
I think the writer simply wanted to appear very smart. The boiled-down TLDR is

1) A profesor should write a letter of recommendation for you. It's part of their job, not a favor.

2) If students believe the teachers know them deeply and the teachers deeply care about their studies, the students'll study better.

Overall, I agree with your assessments of "letters are meaningless." I also think that the author's views are somewhat characteristic of the life in academia. I don't, however, think the author means, or does, harm. It's more of a 'meh' situation.
Only use shared_ptr when you actually want shared ownership. If you stick to unique_ptr for owning references and then "borrow" that raw pointer in functions, then you get speed without sacrificing too much safety and still no new/delete.
here the thing: these are both true, by definition, states reacted and people didn't cook up. but people only see what resonates with their belief and immediately attak anyone poking at the notion that it'll happen again for co2, despite all the evidences from the past
>Are we willing to reduce cultural creative output to "whoever can afford to do it unpaid" because we don't want to pay for that work?

Yes. You will lose the multiillion dollar productions which many people like. But you will also get rid of the tournament theory[0] meat grinder that is 'the industry'. You will reduce the impact that groomers like Harvey Weinstein can have.

I mean, do you think if the FA had a salary cap of 20k gbp/annum that people would stop playing Sunday league football? Obviously not. People participate because they want to.

I guess a counterargument might be that we need industrialized culture to build and exert soft power around the world. Western music, films, sports, game, etc. But even then the money is so big that now US films can't risk angering China because there's too much money there. So now the tools of soft power have been hijacked against us.

I can see how somebody would think that "Slovenčina" means "Slovenian" though. (Slovenian is actually "Slovenščina".)
And giving in to intruders isn't training them to fearlessly rob? Don't understand how removing any impediment to stealing, can help the situation.

Its hard for some to imagine standing up for themselves. They fantasize about retreat; rational conversations with thieves; happy outcomes when one has already broken all social constraints.

Finally, by definition, an intruder who's shot on sight isn't going to know, later, that you're going to shoot them. They'll not be robbing anybody, later.
That's true.

I still need to figure out the best way to monetize the project, PRO version plus support seemed the most straightforward way, but maybe it is not the only one.

I was hoping to lure the engineers with a good technology and finally sell to whoever has budget with the hope that the engineers would sell the product inside the organization.

But somehow this is not working.

Maybe they don't need it?

Maybe I have to find a specific niche...

Any idea is welcome...
I love this, realizing that we each have our own description and meaning of the word stored in the memories we lived. Thanks for sharing!
Sometimes the language is the reason it is IO bound. A good example of this and discussion is in the link below. The heap of abstractions can cause it to be IO bound, or the CPU usage can bound the IO.

Unrelated to the content of the video - is it possible to remove French voice-over?

EDIT: I guess only option is to download the video file and switch the audio language as browser's player cannot do this.

EDIT2: from html - there are multiple sources, english is the first one, though player starts automatically from the second source. Link to english video: https://koeln.ftp.media.ccc.de//congress/2019/h264-hd/36c3-1...

EDIT3: after couple reloads and waiting couple dozen of seconds native html video player have switched to some custom CCC player with settings option available. Probably needed some time before JS fully loaded and did it's job. Apparently /u/lovehashbrowns had loading issues, so this sounds related. Maybe CCC is getting hug of death from HN, Reddit or whatever.
You can get a Sun type 6 keyboard with native USB, no adapter required. [1] I went through a few over the years before giving up on "new old stock" because they had a tendency to fail.

As I recall we have IBM to thank for the Ctrl/capslock swap. The IBM PC keyboard featured that change and was a carry over from the selectric typewriter and possibly other IBM terminal keyboards. It was very annoying for those of us with muscle memory with Ctrl where it was supposed to be. Particularly for programs like Wordstar that had heavily used keys clustered within easy reach of the pinky finger resting on control in the "right" place.

In fact there appear to be programs and macros that still allow Wordstar mode in emacs (deprecated), vim and word. So I guess it's still popular. Supposedly George RR Martin still writes in Wordstar, preferring it to modern word processors.

In fact in a similar vein of using what you know I'm a little surprised there hasn't been a Kickstarter to reproduce the space cadet keyboard or similar just for the emacs fans out there.

Bloomberg has done a lot since then to further call their credibility into question.

As far as I'm concerned, it's about as reliable as the Weekly World News.

I'm just waiting for their version of the Batboy article. Except maybe this was it.
> Monitoring the server logs showed that Bingbot only crawled the lowercase version of the URL.

I've always thought it was much more common that sites written in ASP.Net have case-sensitive URLs. At least that was quite common ~5 years ago (was it a default setting or something? I haven't done .Net stuff in a while). So it's pretty crazy that Bing only crawls lowercased URLs.
Self-defense and defense of property are related, but not the same. The castle doctrine doesn't change the rules on self-defense; it permits similar use of force in non-self-defense scenarios.

Specific facts of each case will matter, but things that cause serious injury tend to get into the life-threatening realm.
> Such programs that are formally correct eliminates the need for testing almost completely and can cut such infrastructure down by possibly 95%

I think this is an absurdly high number. The difficulty of proving the kind of rich properties that integration and system-level testing can easily cover is mind-boggling, and also requires huge amounts of infrastructure that doesn't exist and is not feasible for a single team to build.

Think of an end-to-end test for a traffic generator application - you simulate a click in a web UI, you start a TCPdump on a network interface, wait for a a few minutes, and sample the capture for some expected packets.

How much dependently-typed infrastructure would you need to get even the small level of assurance that this test gives? How much of networking protocols and OS APIs would you have to formally specify to even start proving that your program adheres to them? How much of the DOM and JS APIs would you have to formally specify in order to prove that the button is going to be visible on the screen and that clicking it will produce the right HTTPS calls to the backend?

I am reasonably sure that dependent types will continue to get better and will help with developing certain kinds of abstract software components. But I believe that it would take decades before they can become a tool that could be used to prove a realistic large scale program to the point that you can throw away 95% of the testing done today.

It sounds a bit like you've got an axe to grind more than you want to actually discuss political philosophy, and that might be more the reason why other people don't want to discuss it. (And for what it's worth, 'radical' isn't pejorative... Pretty much anything that isn't social progressivism or social conservativism is radical in this country)
Actually, of the $55 trillion in global debt, China owns $20 trillion. Much of this debt is going to developing countries. The rest is a mixture of private equity and governments, which would include pension funds, but they are not the largest debt holders by any means.

3k TODOs in a vital opensource project. Why? Lack of funding or lack of coders or Linus/Stallman(FSF/GNU, who has resigned but is he replaced?) is unable to be everywhere and he need a bigger team to support him?

I feel dumber for having read this article. Tbf it’s from the early 2000s but it reads like a nasally academic trying to lecture people who work for a living about theory with little to no practical benefit.
No idea. Maybe the term I'm looking for is proxy? I'm just looking to gamble using multiple ID's without the sites easily seeing that they're all me.
The issue is that people are able to be targeted with surgical precision because of mass data collection. Banning political ads is just a half ass treatment of the effect.

> Interestingly enough the words exists in Swedish as well.

And this is no surprise. Low German was a major trade language of the Baltic region and Swedish absorbed an enormous number of Low German words either as direct borrowings or calques. Then due to the prestige of High German as a literary language in Northern Europe, Swedish calqued further words on German models.
TODOs are fine but only if you also have associated cross linked tickets in your bug tracker. You shouldn’t ever commit TODOs in your code without a ticket number or exactly this will happen.

Apple Notes for quick stuff at work.

Had a stint with Microsoft OneNote, but I don't trust it to hold my data reliably.

Ended up with Notes folder with Markdown files. It's very logical (filesystem), easy to backup, version and transfer.

Visual Studio Code is my editor of choice. I'm using custom workspace settings which changes my theme to lighter one, bigger fonts etc whenever I open any note.

It's not perfect. Everytime I want to create note I need to create new file, choose its name and add ".md" extension. It takes 3 seconds, but simple CMD+N would be easier.
Exactly.

TODOs should be an adjunct to the issue tracker. An issue could be "Clean up/resolve all TODOs in module qux". but each of those comments on there own are rarely worth the issue on their own.

Also not every project has the FTEs or the scope to hit every TODO in the first pass. Maybe it's all a glorified demo and these are "Road closed" points to be enhanced/hooked in to in the future.
The logic that chronic illness can’t be prevented and is either genetic or inevitable is so problematic.

Like everyone is going to get old and if I think getting old means I will inevitably get gum disease which could cause Alzheimer’s then why bother flossing or caring about preventative oral health?
I'm confused by both of your comments. Latest commit is an hour ago, and all ten releases on the releases page are within two weeks. Where's "the box GitHub puts on the repo front page saying the last release was a year ago"? I've never seen a box like that on any repo front page.
Question I can't find an answer for anywhere: are desktop PWAs supported by Firefox yet? As in, installing them as a desktop app with icon, notifications and everything that goes with it?

Here is my experience: The text is tiny and I cannot double-tap to zoom into the article. When I use “reader view” the article disappears except for the donation section. When I rotate my phone to try to be able to read the text by making it bigger, a bar at the top eats a chunk of the page at all times and cannot be closed. A plain vanilla raw page is exactly what I’m wishing for.
Exactly. My Philips CM8833 Mk2 + Amiga combo was super sharp.
I'd second Garmin. To me the killer features of my Pebble were the lack of a touchscreen, the long battery life from the passively lit display, and the ability for developers to write their own software - all qualities that the Garmin line possesses.

The only downside of the Garmin devices is the extra fitness sensors (gps, hrm, pulseox) which not all Pebble users might want. As a runner and cyclist myself these features are all upside, but not everybody will use them and they add to cost / size.

I can recommend the forerunner series. I have the 945 which is marketed at runners but it has the same features as their other high end devices, just in a smaller and lighter plastic case.
Hey,

I am the author of "what" and am very happy to hear people like this tool I made. :)

"what" was my first real attempt at rust, and I love the project very much.

That said, it is a hobby project - and so I will likely be a few days responding to all issues and contributions that came from this thread.

"what" has already received some great contributions that are major parts of the code base. I would be very happy for more (in the form of features, bug fixes, issues and packaging).

A note to those having issues installing: as mentioned in this thread, packaging for all the various linux distributions and mac is a great effort. I apologize that at the moment the installation is a little bumpy (especially for those not very familiar with rust).

A good first step for if "cargo install what" isn't working is to try to `rustup update` so you get the latest version of rust and cargo.

Other than that, I hope to support your setup in the future, and/or hear from you in the issues of the repo. Debug help for OSes I do not have access to would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thank you all!
I feel that people who feedback in a harsh way are often at blame. Harsh feedback is caused by something or someone not living up to your expectations, and lashing out is often caused by not having communicated those expectations upfront.

They also constitute terrible leadership where the only way to get by is tolerating being berated at random. Needless to say it’s widespread in industries such as investment banking and theatre, where fear trumps appreciation in schooling people on their way up.
Michael Crichton said as much and the community turned on him.
I'll litter my code with TODOs while developing, especially in a green project. However, our team has a practice that we find valuable: any TODO checked into the master branch must contain a link to a jira ticket. A TODO that can't be prioritized is likely to never get done. We like the forcing-feature of making the choice to handle it now, or working to get it prioritized.
Oh I'm not suggesting that you have an advantage, per se. But I'm speaking only about human speech audio processing (translating sound into words in your head) vs having a full screen of visual elements, plus all the other static and moving visual elements all around in one's field of view.

For an audio only analogy, I would liken it to being in a room full of people at a party and trying to listen to one person vs being in a room alone with headphones. You should be able to process speech audio better and faster with the isolated input compared to the literally noisy one.
I think they did use some kind of inertia sensor that would detect when the device was falling and spin down the drive to reduce the chance of it breaking.

For whatever reason latest Chrome and FF on MacOS does not have any settings/gear icon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
Fennec (old Firefox Android) supports addons. Fenix(? new Firefox Android) WILL support addons, they just haven't been implemented yet.

Firefox Focus does include some basic adblocking capabilities, but is more about being light on resource / data consumption.
I agree with all your other points but I want to point out that if `git blame` breaks your flow I recommend that you look up how to better integrate git with your code editor, it's a huge time saver IMO. With vim-fugitive I can just ":Gblame" on any code I'm currently browsing and immediately I get a side-pane with the annotations for every line. ":Gdiffsplit" shows me the diff between my version and HEAD etc...

But beyond that I agree completely, `git blame` is not the right way to track the authorship of annotations in a file.
I wonder if there are any tools to create tickets from TODO's
Pierre Abel of L’Escapadou - educational iPad apps for pre-K to early elementary. I don't know his 2019 numbers but I suspect he did at least $350k this year, down from $600k+ a couple years ago.

I don't see what this has to do with this thread.

These "This is the same company that..." type of comments are very low value. Companies operate across dozens of jurisdictions and have to comply with hundreds of laws. I goes without saying that eventually they'll bump up against a law and/or group of people that disagree with their decisions. That's a normal part of doing business and doesn't have any relevance to some other controversy.
