I'd really like to hear the perspective and success stories of "Good first issue" labels and other means of encouraging open source contributions from other open source projects.

In my experience it unfortunately often hasn't been a net benefit for the projects I worked on. A "good first issues" takes up a lot of time to write and often never get addressed at all or it takes even more time to review and give feedback ultimately causing more work than addressing it directly since most "first issue" contributors do not come back to contribute again.

GitHub has done a lot to streamline the process of contributing to an open source project. I think what is still missing (or I don't know about) is an overall resource where you can learn about open source best practises (or just "Best Practises" since you should be using them everywhere) like writing tests, writing good docs, using conventional commits etc. outside of individual projects - and then in addition to the "Good first issue" label also indicate which one of those best practises apply to that issue, e.g. "This is a good first issue if you know about NodeJS, Mocha tests and Markdown".

Boeing decided it's business as usual when they had a chance to own up to some responsibility. I don't want to get into the details because I wouldn't make them justice, but the list is insane; from impossible engineering choices to brown envelopes (bribes) to the regulators.

They could have said something among the lines of "we are working on improving our processes to avoid future deaths", but instead we hear them blaming the pilots, again: "Calhoun focuses Boeing’s responsibility on faulty assumption around pilot response on MCAS".

As a reminder, MCAS could overpower manual trim and stick inputs. The crew never stood a chance, they were condemned the moment an engineer at Boeing decided it was ok to create a system like that acting on a single sensor that was known to be unreliable, and their process somehow allowed them not to test for its failure.

I was playing with this yesterday for about an hour... getting so frustrated trying to figure out how to count from 0 to 20. But when I got there, I suddenly had a "omg, I know floating point!" moment.

Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22121150
As someone else pointed out, people from all over the world, not just people who want to live there, can buy a house. That means a LOT of people can afford them even if they were a few times more expensive.

Still, the majority of homes are still either bought by people who plan to live in them, or by landlords who will rent them to people who will, so obviously some people can afford them.

Turns out, doctors, a subset of lawyers, various other high end professions including, yes, software engineers, make a lot of money, and there's quite a few of them. Add couples and families and you don't need everyone in the home to be able to afford it, either. Roommates can split the bills. DINKs end up with much more disposable income that can seem astronomical to more traditional families. Older people may have been able to accumulate wealth that seem impossible to 20something or even 30something years old. You can add a lot to that list of examples.

Even when you take away all of the outliers (like rich Chinese investors), turns out a shitload of people can afford these places (which is why if you want to use supply to reduce prices, you need to build a LOT before it goes down enough to reach the lower and lower middle class).

Also consider that 50% of your income (in an investment, no less!) when you have a family income of 250k isn't the same as when you have 50k. I'm fairly privileged, and if I gave up 50% of my income to housing (with a large portion really being a stored investment), it would still make a ton of sense financially.

For sure it shouldn't be that way: even if you were a rich selfish bastard, its easy to see how the people you're displacing are going to come back and be a pain in your butt (see San Francisco), so it's in everyone's interests (not just for social justice) to fix this problem. Still, it's this expensive because it's still worth it and there's still a ton of people who can afford it.

It really dawned on me when I last looked at the status of my mortgage and my savings. When I bought my place less than decade ago (so not as expensive as the market is today, but still when the market was red hot as the interests were at an all time low), it was a non-trivial percentage of my income, the downpayment was most of my savings, and we were definitely running the numbers to see what would happen if my wife or myself lost our jobs. It was tight. A few promotions, job changes, and favorable economic conditions later and I could almost pay cash if it was still at the same price it was back then. Early 30s me thought it was an insane amount of money, but 40something me wouldn't have much issue with it. That's the kind of economic reality and competition we're dealing with here.
Hopefully they wont go full circle and become what they originally set to erupt. eg. experts exchange.

The problem is you can't move a domain once you've established it. I'm stuck on byuu.org for life. There's 15 years worth of links to it scattered across the web that would all go dark. Or more precisely, that would all suddenly point at spam. I could never get most of them updated.

Even my subdomain from my previous host from 15 years ago is squatted to this day to serve up advertising. It's even aware of the software that I used to host there.

One answer in my view is to remove the maximum length of prepayment for domains. Let us buy a domain for 100 years. Sure, that's $1,000. Maybe throw in a discount. But now we never have to worry about it again, as long as we live. Or at least, as long as the registry lives. It would never be squattable.
What did she actually (allegedly) say? As far as I can tell from the article she said reporters "groom" sources, and The Information then extrapolated that to draw a comparison to sexual predators because "the term ‘grooming’ has been used by child safety advocates to describe how predators gain trust with their victims", which seems to be quite a stretch.

Adam Ragusea on YouTube (can't link sorry, restricted browsing) had a short video covering this as he reviewed the cases and research from experts. In the end the worst known case was basically a guy who fell asleep and the entire coating of his pan burned off, filling his house with smoke. He had respiratory symptoms and was hospitalised but walked out (I think) less than 48 hours later with no obvious lasting effects.

"Up for grabs" is one of the first projects to do this on a wide scale in Github and that I absolutely recommend for starting contributing:

https://up-for-grabs.net/

The reason is that it's opt-in (instead of ML-found issues), so the authors of packages have expressed a strong willingness to help first-time contributors. I've used up for grabs before (as an author) and it was great.

> Of these, 320,000, more than three-fifths, overstayed their visas,

Right, and that number includes (and is mostly due to) short term tourist visa overstays. The impact of that on tech workers is marginal. You're conflating tech worker visa overstays with non-tech worker visa overstays. And since tech worker visas are a small fraction (~1%) of visas granted, unless you're claiming that tech workers overstay at a much, much higher rate (like 20-30x the average), which isn't backed up by data, the number of tech workers here illegally due to visa overstays is indeed marginal. So I'll once again state that despite all your objections, a decent estimate of the number of high tech workers on visas is ~500K, maybe 600K at the top end. That includes all visas and all overstays.

> I'm telling you that the estimate of 11 Million is not even close

You're certainly welcome to continue believing that. It's not correct, but you're welcome to believe it.

That's true, but there are other tradeoffs with living in the suburbs. I don't have a car and get along fine in the city with public transportation, plus the benefits of the city for a single young professional outweigh the suburbs in my personal opinion. Again it is highly priced, but it's also high in demand and for me it's worth it.

Can you show me that's true? If it is, that's fairly interesting.

I2S isn't really related to I2C beyond the similar name and the fact that both used to be commonly used in audio devices (I2C for control, I2S for audio data transport). I2S is pretty much just a specific incarnation of SPI with more bit-lines for more channels and a channel select line.

I am the author of kcall.co.uk/ssd/index.html and I trust that the site is now back up and running without further 'sleeping' episodes. The reason for the interrupts was, as some have surmised, that the site was mentioned here and in other places and that caused a surge in hits that exceeded the host's usage limit. Whilst I am pleased that so many people have shown an interest in my efforts it does mean that I have had to move the site to a more generous host.

It is apparent from the first sentence and the website itself that this article is, or arises from, tha musings of shall we say an amateur. It's not professional because I'm not a professional. Whilst some of the comments in this thread are helpful, some are baffling. To the person who couldn't get past the header bacause Comic Sans offended him, the following 8058 words were in Century Gothic, which is perhaps not so offensive. I have however accepted the comments on readability and changed the header and all the rest of the text to Calibri, made the font larger, and changed the line spacing to web standards. I hope it is now more soothing and readable. As for the claim that the text is 'spoiled by having dozens of typos and spelling mistakes' I'm not sure what he is reading (or smoking). Apart from the removal of one stray colon, the current text is entirely unchanged - it is the same file. I don't claim to be perfect and I'm sure that in such a large essay there are some typos and other errors, but to say that there are dozens is patently untrue. Just let me know where they are and I will happily correct them.

Apart from all that, I am surprised that there are so few comments about the veracity or otherwise of the contents. I had great difficulty in finding material that was up to date and actuially delved into the technicalities of SSDs, without baffling me - as much did.

I shall end by thanking those who found the article interesting and I hope that some of it at least has been of some help.
I'm not really trying to use it as evidence of anything. You picked a citation, I picked another one. Furthermore, as mentioned, I agree with you on the reason not being money.

Regarding your other point, I honestly think there's nothing profound to understand but feel free to prove me wrong with concrete examples and no hand-waving or out-of-context citations.

Demagogues with agendas have existed for a long time, they are nothing new. So has scapegoating.

No-one in their right mind will claim that the EU is perfect, but the result of simplistically asking people to make a black-and-white decision about something so incredibly complex, and with so many unknowns, that almost no-one is in a position of fully understanding had the consequence of throwing the baby out with the water. And all because of a razor-thin-basically-within-uncertainty margin in the results.

Obviously, as laughable as this may be, it is a valid choice - and we will all have to live with its consequences.

I - for one - can't wait to get Scotland back in the EU.

As an author they have definitely taken more time than if I fixed the issues myself.

> If Microsoft really believes no-one needs IE, why is it still shipping it as part of Windows 10?

We have multi-million dollar software that relies on IE to run -- that's why. What good is an OS that can't run our software?

Since Windows 10 we've setup an icon to just launch this application in IE and set the default browser for end-users to Chrome.

Eventually that software will be replaced and we can end our use of IE but today is not that day.
