I think the author does protesteth a little much, I mean, surely within his right. But, the project isn't quite so zany.

I do really like the implementation of help text:

function bocker_help() { #HELP Display this message:\nBOCKER help
sed -n "s/^.*#HELP\\s//p;" < "$1" | sed "s/\\\\n/\n\t/g;s/$/\n/;s!BOCKER!${1/!/\\!}!g"
}
Some consultant had told "Adopting an ERP (SAP, Oracle or other) is a stronger bond than marriage". So those valuations could be strong and long term.
The aspect ratio looks like it was just accomplished by cropping.
But not faster than L3 cache bandwidth. Some cards can DMA to L3 cache. Granted, eventually it's flushed to main RAM, so might not help too much in the end.
I read a "news" article today on some site that uBlock Origin blocked 94 items on.

That's a new record. Thank you to the all the developers who have contributed their time to that project.
Vpc peering will be replaced by transit gateway
That roughly corresponds to the following C-like pseudocode:

for (i = 0; i < argc && (arg = argv[i]).startswith("--"); ++i)
if (sep = arg.find("=")) opts[arg[..sep]] = arg[sep+1..]; else opts[arg] = "x";

It might be too much for one line, but it doesn't seem to be super complicated either. In fact that line is (as of now, commit 0006330) only the second longest in that file.
SAP wouldn't be that disheartening to use if it weren't so damn slow and if UI/UX wasn't from the 90s.
Heh, yes. It played WAY WAY WAY smoother in the late 80s than space frigates plays on my 3+ GHz desktop.

At the time netrek was near unplayable on my 386. But I got the optional 387 FPU and a S3-801 (that had hardware support for vectors) and suddenly netrek, xpilot, and similar vector games played great.
Huawei says will provide EU with 5G 'Made in Europe'
Yes! This is top priority at the moment, I'm eyeing mobile twitch chat style, simpler, more compact, less bubbly.
I don't understand the confusion here. The quote clearly distinguishes between crime and non crime actions yet still encourages people to report non-crimes to the police. This is unacceptable thought-crime type stuff.

"Hate will not be tolerated in South Yorkshire" is also a disturbing sentence because hate is a totally normal, and healthy emotion to have. I hate the taste of parsley. I hate racists. I hate being caught in the rain with a flat tire, but more of all I hate the idea that the police would do these kinds of things.
Top Why Python Is Your Go-To Programming Language for Machine Learning
Until you know the internals of SAP ;). They have/had an own programming language (ABAP) which is the worst combination of BASIC and SQL you could imagine. Do not know the status in 2020, 2007 it was still a combination of ABAP and Java.

Interestingly, the source code of SAP is openly readable (once you have their software installed).
IIRC the app you're talking about is Zoom's mac client.

Online tutoring platforms like iTalki have tutors from all over the place. Including in countries with vastly different cost of life. For spanish for example you can get an hour of one-to-one tutoring with a pro teacher for less than $10. Lots of teachers from Venezuela for example where this is more than the average monthly salary.
Hi! (I'm one of the editors of this post.) When I was researching SAP, I found a fact sheet: https://www.sap.com/docs/download/2017/04/4666ecdd-b67c-0010..., that has quite a few interesting facts:

* "[SAP] customers distribute 78% of the world’s food and 82% of the world’s medical devices"

* "[SAP] customers include 98% of the 100 most valued brands"

* "77% of the world’s transaction revenue touches an SAP system"

Wow!

VyprVPN review: Is it still a solid VPN service?
I would expect 4chan to do exactly this. Thing is, the only way they can succeed is if people take it seriously and keep the spiral going.
SAP is the worst software I've ever used in my entire life; they literally have to publish paid books on how to use it, that's how bad it is.
Listen -- if 0.5% of people see real economic growth of 10000% and the rest see negative growth after inflation, even if on paper, on average we have positive growth, the overall result is NEGATIVE if you ask me.

Just check real wage growth in the western world, after inflation it is stagnant or negative in the last decades; add in hugely inflated housing prices, education prices, and it is very clearly a big NEGATIVE outcome for the average person; this is only offset a bit by women entering the workforce, now you have 2 slaves instead of 1.

Yeah, the developing world might fare better -- for now -- as they are much cheaper then workers in the developed world, but the same trap awaits them, the same asset price inflation, education costs and so on is happening in the developing world, it's not fully our turn yet, but the writing is on the wall.
New Features in Pandas 1.0
I love the SAP UI - yea, its the 90's when UI was far superior than today's whitespace filled, shadow-less buttons, complete lack of skeumorphic elements, magenta gradients and huge typography - See Windows 95 UI: https://twitter.com/tuomassalo/status/978717292023500805

It is dense, extremely clear and consice. I agree with the slowness though.
Oh this makes me happy. Im stoked with the 4k results. The gravel under the tracks looks so good. I feel like it's a definite improvement and I know it's only going to get better.
How does it work when you would be alone in a given range?

Because I almost certainly am at "Bonfire" range (there are maybe a few hundred people within 10km of me), yet I am seeing messages.
Just because you are allowed to do something does not mean that it is ethical. Same with the law. Slavery was once allowed. Many people find that unethical nonetheless.

The opposite is also true: just because something is outlawed does not mean it is unethical. Many things deemed good now became lawful after people did them.

Ethics is not defined by laws, contracts and licenses. It is defined by your moral compass and different people under a same law may have different world views.

I have seen Mozilla recommend closed source addons. They have all the rights to do that (thanksfully), however I was not too happy with this, especially from an organization that promotes open source and an open web.

I see no point in promoting an outdated fork when you can recommend the better, fresher, original extension.
Testing for Fragmentation: The Prefect Cross-browser test strategy for mobile
SAP is shocking.

I'm so glad that I now work with NetSuite!
Isn't this is just like a digital version of golf clubs? Who knows, maybe all you need a critical mass of rich and famous on the platform before others join on board to connect and try to do business.

Then again, golf is kinda fun, even though I suck at it, and I barely use social media anymore, so maybe it's a bad comparison.
Nicely written article, but I don’t see what the use of an ERP is? Can’t it just be replicated with some excel spreadsheets?
Windows 10 start menu is so bad I cut it out from every Windows machine I have any authority over. Try Keypirinha, it's very snappy and supports fuzzy search.

Usually about 2-5. But I am a small business owner, so I have relatively full control of my time.
I don't understand the logic in firing you though. Wouldn't it make sense to keep you for however little time longer they could? Knowing that you would be quitting soon they could try to get knowledge out of you or have you help train a replacement.

And if they knew that you were going to get an offer they couldn't match, then obviously you were worth more than what they were paying you. In other words, a great deal for them. Why would they cut that any shorter than they had to?

Was it just good old fashioned spite, cutting off their own nose?
Kind of but with limitations. You have chroot, which may or may not be secure, app sandbox which is quite powerful (but best used without chroot). No process namespaces or jails, very limited network isolation. No bind mounts. Overall very limited, you could do something but it woild be quite different.
why not add an operator so you can say (x !is null)?
It'd be even better if the help texts would be readable in the source, but that would cost some lines for sure
There would be endless queues if those Bulgarian devs would get even a fraction of that rate. They were lucky if they were getting more than $10-15/h. I also doubt there would be huge shortage of US devs willing to do the work if they were to get $120-150/h. The other problem is modus operandi of a standard software agency- it just suck your sole out for those extra lines of code.
If you're a big enough organisation to need an ERP like SAP, it would cost more to manage your data with spreadsheets than it would cost to just license SAP.

I mean, that's literally how you price enterprise software.
No doubt this is cool and represents good work! Nice job!

Can we really say it’s a reimplementation of Docker in 100 lines, though, when it requires other dependencies that probably total in the hundreds of thousands of lines? That’s still code that has to be audited by people so inclined. Not to mention the other setup specified in the readme and maybe having to build one of the dependencies from source. Usage doesn’t sound necessarily trivial.

Makes me appreciate Docker that much more though. Getting up to speed using it at my job and it certainly abstracts away many things, simplifying our workflow and conceptual models.
> Then again, golf is kinda fun, even though I suck at it, and I barely use social media anymore, so maybe it's a bad comparison.

Why? There are tons of people who hate golf.
Here is a little feedback:

I opened the website as I was curious about what it is.
Then I choose Deny for Sharing my Location. Then the website said:

> You need to enable geolocation.

So I close it.

I don't understand why do you need permission for knowing my location to access this website?

If location is truly important then I suggest to first show me a little what do you offer and why do I need to share location for that offering.
Or maybe resource planning is just that hard.
Tesorio (YC S15) Is Hiring for Several Roles
I normally have three meetings over the week. One short team meeting to spread the work, a stand-up to present what we're doing this week to the rest of the company,and a stand-down on Friday to present what we've done. Total amount: 30+15+60 = less than 2h.
> That is a very tight deadline to turn out a critical app like this. Especially since I assume it wasn't just a single person doing the coding.

One screenshot showed an SQL error.

I think if you're doing an one man job, under pressure, making an app that has limited scalability, the last thing you should be doing is not using some kind of ORM or something similar (especially at a login page)

So it looks like they made it unnecessarily hard on themselves.
I think it's a mistake to judge intra-community fights based on sample sizes of a single discussion. Much like domestic arguments, the surface disagreement is often not what the fight is really about, and it's not easy to understand it without knowing the context, how long the forum participants have known each other, how disagreements have played out before and so on.

There are a lot of unwritten rules and informal relationships in any forum with a persistent membership, and in my experience it takes months, sometimes years of observation to be able to read them accurately.
Yet without Erlang and the libraries written in Erlang (OTP), Elixir wouldn't stand on its own.
I feel like there continues to be a huge disconnect between UI designers and their users.

I'm a power user so I am not the best person to ask for UX advice, but I talk to people all the time that just wish they still had the classic Windows 9x UI's and things more or less were "boring".

Reminds me a little bit of a statement about how Taxi drivers can tell you what works architecturally better than an actual architect when it comes to ground floor interaction.

I think being the recommended language for Android development makes it pretty popular.
There are "paid books" about everything from Python to Go to Swift to whatever. That is quite frankly a bad heuristic.
Sent you a message via form on your site (about logo for web development studio).
I consulted for a company once that had made several attempts to migrate from their ERP (as well as having made several acquisitions and mergers over the decades). When I was there the state of things was 3 ERP systems that they had built, and another 2 that they had gained through mergers, all still operating and ERPing between each other. No matter how many enormous multi-year migration projects they started, they never managed to turn a single one of them off.
You could have some digital technology that allows a person to credibly prove that they own a particular property, that is resistant to hacking techniques.

Alternatively you could have a legal rule that requires the seller to turn up in person with ID, and police could search for scam listings and then go arrest the scammers, and fine lazy legitimate sellers who want to break the rule.
ERP is basically a centralized hosted version of a lot of spreadsheets. So no, because Excel doesn’t facilitate cooperation very well.
People realize how damaging ads are and start buying Google/Bosch glasses and installing real-life ad-blockers.
I've considered how I would like E.G. GPS / driving apps to anonymize data.

For freeways, lots of small segments, and fuzzing of timestamps to co-mingle users. Where there's a stoplight snap the intersection cross-time to the green light (guess) for anyone in the queue.

The anonymity would come from breaking up both requests and observed telemetry to fragments too small to tie back to a single user or session (and thus form a pattern; I hope).

Do NOT record end-times, only an intended route. Do NOT associate that movement to any particular user or persistent session (ideally in memory on the mobile device only, not saved: though it could save favorite routes locally). Packages of transition times between various freeway exits would generally help add to anonymity.

That would also be part of generally improving the UI for the user. The application on the device should be making most of the decisions, by asking about the traffic in a given region on a grid. I also want it to show me (the driver) the data (heatmap) on the rejected routes so I know what isn't a good option.
China Wants to Patent Gilead’s Experimental Coronavirus Drug
No subjectivity here, folks.
Well arrays if elementary types are contiguous, yes. Arrays of objects are arrays of references to instances. The references are contiguous, but they point to instances all over the place.
Not so sure about the real growth after you add central bank induced asset price inflation or just the heavily skewed basic inflation central banks like to post every year.

I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the said growth is really just asset price inflation -- just let people overburden themselves with debt and a house costing 50000$ now costs 300000$ -- not just any house, EVERY house -- boom, you have huge "growth" and "wealth".

EDIT: I meant that it is disingenuous to look at 200 years because huge REAL advances have indeed taken place since then.

I'm totally against the financialization that has happened in the last 40-50 years, which is really 90% of the growth that has actually happened.

I mean, don't you think there's something deeply wrong and worrying with the fact that the financial industry is 80% of US GDP?
The replacement is probably just as bad. I've seen industrial scale pesticide application in the U.S. Doesn't matter what you're spraying, it's going to cause Problems in the quantities that they use.
great work! Is it possible to open source the 2.8 Million Hacker News posts database?
Cute.

For me, the hardest thing about Docker was running my own registries. Or rather, configuring credentials so Docker would use them. Not to mention the hassle of doing that through Tor.

So maybe Bocker isn't so picky about registries.
The last paragraph is not good. Is it only me or does it leave a conclusion lurking around without saying it aloud?
Kinda reminds me of Grindr, except for the different target audience ;)
Really? If you would try to do an effective Smalltalk implementation in WebAssembly, you would immediately see that WebAssembly is making things even much worse.
"A basic installation of SAP has 20,000 database tables, 3,000 of which are configuration tables. In those tables, there are ~8,000 configuration decisions you need before even getting started."

Wow, really?
That is really mind blowing to me. I just looked at the local rental website for my small town and the first 2 bedroom duplex I looked at had a nice yard and looked good on the inside and was only $900/month. That is in Canadian dollars too I may add. That $4550 would be about $6000 Canadian and you would have people begging you to move in if you agreed to pay them a portion of that.The highest rental I see on the site right now is about $1800Cad.
SAP suffers from the same issue as all other universally-malleable systems: at best, they're only as good as the designer allows them to be.

However, just because it resembles 90's UI (which I'm a massive fan of) doesn't mean it follows it philosophically. It regularly breaks its own rules and is deliberately designed to be obscure as possible.
I don’t know if we are using the latest versions but the UI has many other sins, not the least having buttons in odd places (submit is often at the top), many many screens to get to a place, slow as you say.

I don’t care so much that the UI looks from the 90s. For an internal application, a battleship grey winform is perfectly fine, as long as the workflow is simple, fast and intuitive.
I used SAP at work to keep track of monthly working hours. The GUI had this... feature that doesn't allow you to resize the form you're working with. And you can scroll vertically, but the first columns are frozen in place. As a result, only 15% of your screen is usable, showing 4 out of the 30 columns you need to fill at a time and requiring constant scrolling.

As a user, I would have been happy to dump it and use anything else. But who am I going to complain to? I'm not the customer, my company was. And it's not like they are going to switch ERPs just because employees hate it (which we all did). Even if they wanted, the cost of switching now would probably be astronomical - not only on migration, but also on training and support.

It's no surprise that SAP is worth that much, seeing as they have the perfect captive audience: the wealthy kind.
(correctiv is financed by Open Society Foundations which is of course George Soros)
That's because contemporary designers are obsessed with trends, frameworks and aesthetics. When Dieter Rams designed Braun products, he didn't have a UI framework. He deeply thought about interaction and feedback to the user.

Contemporary UI trends bother me except one: websites like drewdevault.com and text.npr.com are refreshing.
That's fair. I had a massive blurb about it but then pushed it to the FAQs https://happeh.dev/faqs. Originally this was going to be a 'happy map' but it feels like it's turning into something else and location could maybe be optional. Really appreciate the feedback.
I definitely want to but I'm not sure what the situation would be with copyright (or indeed if I'm allowed to use the posts for indexing in the way I have). I'll email HN and see what they say.
Right. As the article states, in-groups always attack apostates the hardest. There's a funny related phenomenon where people who try their best at being vegan get attacked for not being "vegan enough", instead of applauded for at least trying.

Because it works. People who want to join the in-group are vulnerable to its criticism, but people who don't want to join don't give a shit in the first place.

So when the woman in the article responded to the attack, the attackers smelled blood, and piled on, and increased their attacks. prompting her to defend herself even more, thereby giving even more material for the attackers. So it seems you have to defuse it before that point in time. Easy for me to say, really hard to recognize in the moment.

Because that's the annoying paradox. If you get attacked, and you start thinking that you maybe were wrong, that you maybe wrote something bad, that you maybe hurt someone else, having those thoughts, those doubts, show that you didn't intend to. Yet the very proof of you not having ill intent, simply invites more attacks.
What the HN crowd might find interesting is that SAP does not support any kind of containerization technology to run their products in, despite the fact that certain components, like the dialog instance or saprouter, are prime candidates for just that. Let's give them a few more decades, they'll get it.

(From randomly perusing their help portal, it seems that there are one or two modern - and quite exotic - software products from SAP that do support Docker and I think also LXC, so it looks like they're slowly moving ahead in this regard. :) )
Do you work in a grey office with grey carpets and grey desks?

Aesthetics matter. Make software that is beautiful and a joy to use.
TBH SAP is almost required for big corporations as they usually are publicly traded companies, require external audits from BIG4(and these guys know how to get data from standard SAP models, not so much from you self-developed system) and have to report their financials in consistent way.

For example Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google all can use SAP internally. But it would be false to state that all their businesses are run on SAP...
