I stopped using hub to create PRs because it wouldn't fill in the issue template. I don't know if that's ever been fixed. Instead I used it to "compare" my changes, which opens the page in the browser with the "create pull request" button available where I go through the in-browser PR flow.
This pains me. They saw the "what" but not the "why".

The point of using a command line is not because a VT100 emulator is an ideal way to view data (it's not). It's so we can combine commands, using pipes and redirection. I don't want to learn special new filtering flags. I want to get raw data that I can pipe to grep or cut or any of the other dozens of tools I've been learning and using for the past 25 years.

The point of using a distributed version control system is so I can store it all locally. This new tool defaults to only 30 items, and cannot fetch more than 100. So even if you're willing to put up with the multi-second latency of hitting their servers for every command line operation (it feels like CVS all over again), you still can't say "give me everything and let me grep it". You have no choice but to use the 3 ways they give you to filter (assignee, label, state -- not title, comments, or date).

I've got a 50Mbps network connection, a 500GB SSD, 16GB of memory, and an 8-core CPU, and now instead of putting all that to work running JavaScript to access my bug reports, I'm fetching them as plain text at a maximum of about 5000 bytes at a time. (Net throughput is on par with an Apple II with a 14.4Kbps modem.) Is this an improvement?

I do not understand why GitHub Issues aren't git repos, like most other GitHub collections. Then we wouldn't need a completely new (and slow/complex/limited) tool to read bug reports on the command line. Perlis had this figured out back in 1982: using common tools for disparate data is a killer feature. That's why we're still using the command line in a way that looks nearly identical to how it worked in the 1980's, and a few generations of other interfaces have come and gone since then and failed to displace it.
Sadly iPhone SE has been discontinued by Apple and is no longer a decent phone tbh. I can’t recommend it.

You can't discuss software in this context without discussing IBM global services, oracle, computer associates, accenture etc etc.

Shut them all down, watch the average quality of software improve dramatically, immediately.

Next have someone qualified on every single board of directors and have each board create an appropriate sub committee. The same way you have a qualified accountant and audit sub-comittee. Have someone with proper CS & IT credentials and an IT oversight comittee. (Sure mostly the initial massive win is warding of the vampires mentioned in the previous paragraph but there is huge, huge value beyond that.)

Having ignorant people making the resource allocation decision is idiotic in the extreme and leads to overpriced, rubbish quality outcomes. Like deciding to use some garbage vote countinga app that doesn't and can't work - who did that? Can we just say they are utterly ignorant of the field they made important decisions concerning or do we need to get their name and demonstrate it.

Why are we so bad at software engineering? We are not! We just aren't. We do amazing things. We can do it reliably. We can do it economically. Software is f*&king awesome.

Why is there so much corruption in the decision making process leading to garbage quality overpriced, risky and idiotic software? Now that is a better question to ask.

Why is the idea of actually regulating foolhardy risk-taking startups (self-driving, privacy invading, turn-key facist state surveiling etc) so controversial? Because we can't even make good decisions about CRUD development at a policy level in a fortune 500 company - forget a policy decsion at a government level, you know it's going to be awful and redolent with regulatory capture.

We just need to grow up and stop blaming the geeks for the utter manure shoveled at us by ignorant jocks on golf courses determined to exclude anyone with actual understanding, insight and knowledge. And the manure shoveled by the actual geeks with a massive risk appetite and zero care for externalities beyond their startup making cash. Really. That's it. That's all.

Software is FINE. Decision making about software is SO bad, so awful, so hideous we try not to think about it lest it rots our minds with despair.
The Spanish flu had a mortality of 10-20%. Everything points to this thing having a mortality similar to the seasonal flu.
For those of us short on time, can you summarize in a sentence or two?
This is interesting, but where do you draw the line?

I mean, even showing the specific data from your example above, you may have long periods of time where the unvaccinated proportion of the population (take for example Australia's Northern Rivers region or areas of California recently) that, for a long time experience declining immunisation rates, with no increase in disease. Then eventually herd immunity falls low enough that they aren't protected and someone gets infected and it rips through a population. For 10 years, the data may have shown no adverse impacts one way or another - the only way to tell the difference between a vaccinated and unvaccinated child would have been to measure antibody titre. Then, all of a sudden, lots of people are sick and a few babies are dead.

You can't convince people to read the 'good' information. I mean, to take another example, the information for healthy eating and lifestyle are all around us but it certainly hasn't lead to a change in average BMI heading anywhere but upwards in the last 30 years.

Literally the first 10 google queries for Vaccines are form the CDC, Mayo Clinic and other excellent resources going through the evidence for vaccines. I'm not sure how a further portal is going to help people who have decided to make decisions contrary to the evidence. It's a quasi-religious belief that is being fought
There have been many examples. I myself have typed what I personally witnessed multiple times. I'll just put it this way today: I saw more than enough for him to be fired and more than enough for him to be demoted from his leadership roles. I am a real person, former Senior Director of Engineering at a fortune 50. I saw what I saw.
I think relatively easy to implement and interesting to many.

"We desperately need an accreditation system for these schools, stat."

I don't know the details, but I like the sound of the approach taken by Make School: https://www.dominican.edu/dominicannews/dominican-announces-...

In short, Make School partners with an already-accredited university, under a scheme which provides it a path to becoming accredited itself.
Come on dude, at least read the linked wikipedia article. Quoting:

"As of 2018, Israel has been condemned in 78 resolutions by the Council since its creation in 2006—the Council has resolved more resolutions condemning Israel than the rest of the world combined".

Do you seriously believe that the rest of the world combined has less human rights issues than Israel. If you don't believe that then the only logical conclusion is that the organization is biased and I will always take anything they say with a massive grain of salt.

[Disclaimer: I worked on BigQuery a couple lives ago]

I'd give Google BigQuery a shot. Should work fast [seconds] and scale seamlessly to [much] larger datasets and [many] more users. For a 1 TB dataset, I have a hard time imagining crafting a slow query. Maybe something outlandish like 1000[00?] joins. They also have an in-memory "BI Engine" offering, alas limited to 50GB max.

On premise, there is Tableau Data Engine. I don't think they offer a SQL interface, you have to buy into the entire ecosystem.

Long shot: I've been working on "most expressive query system over multiple tables" as an offshoot of some recent NLP work. Your use case piqued my interest. I'd love to help / understand it better. My contact is in my profile.

Throwaway account.

What a disaster. This specification is brainchild of MITRE and DHS. I've worked in 4 info sec shops which have tried to implement this standard, and each time was worse than the last. STIX and TAXII 1.0 Only had working binds for Java. It was entirely possible to send insane sanitized data. Since you had to crawl a DOM like structure for relational data, you'd spend hours recursively resolving documents that may or may not exist in different levels or scopes. There's about 8 valid schema locations for retrieving indicators of compromise. After changing the valid top level attributes multiple times been STIX 1 and 1.2, we finally got mediocre Python binds.

Then they torched the entire standard, moved it to JSON, made it graph resolve (AWESOME, I actually like this), and made real binds we could implement.

..EXCEPT THE IOCS ARE NOW ENCODED IN A DECLARATIVE PATTERNING LANGUAGE! How do I reliably get my intel out of freeform text!!!!??? Wasn't the purpose to easily share IOC? I don't want to have to write a million pattern resolvers. I had my hands busy just updating firewalls.

Side rant, FS-ISAC had the only product that could ever parse STIX TAXII and they charge based on total revenue. A mom and pop might get charged $10k a year, but my F100 company they wanted $400k a year FOR A MONGODB DJANGO APP WITH A POOR CELERY BACKEND.

End unprofessional rant. The opportunity to make a real difference in computer info sec is there for a company with the right value proposition, but it isn't in STIX, TAXII, or any of MITRE's well intentioned hellspawn standards. Years of my life wasted.

> Dear Madam, or Sir,
I am concerned about this amendment to the Registry Agreement because it
will affect, not just me, buy any individual who would like their own
domain name. I am 100% sure that no corporation will object to the 28%
cost increase every six years as they earn money off their domain name and
paying almost any amount would be acceptible to them. However, there are a
great deal of small businesses that would see this as a burden as well as
individual users out there that have purchased their own domain name and
are using it for personal use, not commercial use. Several of us have
multiple domain names, if for no other reason than to protect our own names
from being used to run a website. I personally have about 6 that I use to
protect myself and my family while also allowing my children to be able to
have a domain name that is exclusively theirs.

20 year Cost analysis:
$ 7.85 / year 2018
$10.29 / year 2023 (31% increase over 2018)
$13.49 / year 2029 (72% increase over 2018)
$17.68 / year 2035 (125% increase over 2018)
$23.17 / year 2041 (195% increase over 2018)

I am aware that the 7% is a maximum per year for each of the four years
and, theoretically, there could be no increase or a sub 7% increase some
years, however, I have little faith on this being the norm and, most
certainly, CANNOT plan on it being any less than the full 7% in any fiscal
plans made.

I understand it would be extremely difficult for you to create a
regulation that would charge businesses more and individuals less, however,
that may be what is required at this time. This would leave a loophole for
businesses to have an individual register their domain name, however, no
corporation of any size will be willing to leave their domain names in
private hands. This would also allow fledgling businesses (aka startups)
to keep their costs low at first. Remember, many businesses have been
started in individual's garages.

You may also assume that all ".com" domain names are used for, or are
supposed to be used for commercial purposes, however, this is not the case
today. If this had been defined and enforced from the beginning of the
internet, this would be a non-issue, however, to start enforcing it today
would cause many many individuals to lose their domains. Yes, there are
other top level domains they can move to, however, that doesn't alleviate
the fact that they would be losing an asset they had invested much time,
money, and resources acquiring.

Please keep the annual fee very low or consider a more flexible charging
system for the .COM top level domain that will keep it accessible to
individuals and small businesses.

Thank you,

When my wife was in Singapore around 2005 she brought back the most amazing LG phone. Black metal. Heavy for its size. Felt durable as all get out. And small. So small.

This was pre-iPhone days, so it didn't have a full app ecosystem, but it took photos and little videos and was a great little device. I wish I could remember what it was called so I could look it up and buy one.

Edit: Found it! LG KE820: https://www.gsmarena.com/lg_ke820-1761.php

SMS, e-mail, MP3 player, Bluetooth, photos, video. The only thing missing is GPS, but my car has that.
How would this work in languages where stdlib is an established way of talking about the actual built in standard library like https://devguide.python.org/stdlibchanges/ vs https://github.com/stdlib/lib-python ?

Also you aren't worried at all about confusion or typosquatting (or what you would call it with a common name) with all the variations of standardlibrary, standardlib, stdlib?

The npm package name standardlibrary was open, let me know if you want it transferred. No charge or bullshit, of course. I just claimed it because it was free and I guessed that somebody would typosquat it sooner or later considering your company name. If not I'll just release it

Leave the office and come back. But if you look at the total time, it adds up.
I'm sympathetic to this -- especially the first paragraph re: the employees who aren't directly involved -- but it's your last paragraph that I think is kind of the sticking point in this particular case. What material price did Andy Rubin pay for his behavior? Yes, he was asked to resign from Google -- but they not only didn't fire him, they gave him a $90M exit package and agreed to keep the reason why he was leaving secret. This all only came out due to investigative reporting years later. The "price" Rubin paid was... being compensated so highly he really doesn't have to ever work again if he doesn't want to?

Look, I don't want to see the man's head on a pike, but as near as I can tell he's not only paid absolutely nothing for what he's done, he hasn't even admitted he did anything wrong. (And, sure, it's possible that he didn't actually do anything wrong and this is an elaborate smear campaign, but Google has a history of what the NYT dryly called a "permissive workplace culture," which included giving executives accused of sexual harassment very soft landings.)

I don't know how "as a society" we should handle cases like this. As individuals, though, I think it's okay for (some of) us to believe that Rubin hasn't acted in a very ethical manner, that he's compounded the issue by not apologizing (or presenting a very credible defense of his actions), and finally, that as an employee, your perception of the ethics of your company's culture -- including the behavior of your executive team -- should factor into your decision about whether to seek other employment or, in fact, take the job at all. There are companies I certainly wouldn't work for on such grounds.

> Everything points to this thing having a mortality similar to the seasonal flu.

Can you justify this? I want to be convinced, because at the moment I think it's very optimistic. (There are different estimates for seasonal flu mortality, but it seems to be around 0.1%, so I'm assuming that's roughly the number you mean.)

We're not particularly concerned about typosquatting for now. The name is based on the `.com`, i.e. all APIs / workflows built on Standard Library go to `username.api.stdlib.com`. The packages we use in NPM, RubyGems and Python are just called `lib`.

The way 99.99% of developers have used us to date is starting with our in-browser or CLI tooling which installs / requires the correct package automatically. So I think that removes some of the risk you're talking about. :)

You can hold on to the NPM package for now if you'd like! That's a good one. If we do find typosquatting becomes an issue, do you mind if I reach out?

Unrelated but there is a similar case going on in the EU right now that is set to be appealed at the European Court of Human Rights. Last week the highest court of Belgium ruled that passwords to IT systems were not covered by the right not to incriminate one-self. And they also ruled that you could be jailed for up to 3 years for refusing to provide said passwords. This was in the case of an alleged drug dealer refusing to unlock his iphone. There is no appeal left for him at the national level and he's now set to appeal the decision at the ECHR which if not overruled might finally set the precedent for the whole EU.

Having researched the issue extensively, I discovered that Quora engages in disgusting data sharing and targeted experimentation on users with that data. Avoid like the plague.
Well, I think the parametric formula for the involute of a circle is (1-it) exp(it). If you pop open Python with Numpy you can say

t = np.linspace(0, 1); (1 - 1j*t) * np.exp(t * 1j)

And that gives you almost a radian of the involute, unless I've screwed something up. You can evaluate that at the desired number of points, clipped to the desired range of radii, export the coordinates to CSV if necessary, and import them into your CAD program as a smooth polyline. For example, with FreeCAD, you can directly script it in Python and https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=27866 Draft.makeBSpline will apparently do the job. Blender should be similar.

To me this sounds simpler.
The new gTLDs have a pricing problem IMO. All of them are more expensive than .com, which is the "best" domain, so they look overpriced.

Plus, the premium registrations are incredibly poorly thought out. For example, you can buy wifi.cloud for $55,000 up front plus $1,100 per year or you can go to afternic where the minimum offer on wificloud.com is $2000. Which would you rather own (neither IMO, but...)?

I think the new gTLDs would have done better if they'd have positioned themselves as a small business alternative to domain squatters. A small business would be excited to have pc.tech for their website, but not for $10k/year. IMO, you'd be better off buying a good, generic .com off afternic for $100k at that point because you'd be breaking even in about 15 years (assuming 6% interest) plus it has some resale value if you don't make it 15 years.
