I believe "-eth" is a 3rd person ending (he/she/it), e.g. If thy header files fail should be "faileth".

"The third person sing. Present, ending in th, as taketh, bringeth &c. is now confined to sermons and grave discourse." - John Hunter, Text-book of English Grammar 1848

My favourite -eth, from the start of Moonlighting's Atomic Shakespeare episode:

The layout's been just like this since last century. It was an appreciated feature when we were all on dialup, and at the time I found readability to be no problem on a 17" CRT monitor (10.5" x 14") at 800x600 resolution.

I can confirm it doesn't translate well to a modern ultrawide monitor.

Not saying this applies to every company, but I've worked at two different companies that have done something similar:

* Healthcare startup that basically outsourced its entire infra/security team from a consulting company. The consultants rewrote everything and took over engineering leadership, basically acting as gatekeepers for anything SRE-related.

* Worked at an older DNS company that hired a bunch of consultants to help engineers migrate their web framework from Play to Spring. Said engineers used Play because it was shiny but didn't have the Scala expertise to keep maintaining it, so they moved to pure Java.
I'm going to make one of those unpopular opinions, but alas, it must be said: It is far easier to just drop Apple support entirely.

Apple is an abusive relationship that gaslights developers for "holding it wrong". Many of you have internalized this abuse. Supporting OSX and iOS does not really win you many users, and if you're big enough where this really is an issue, then you can just afford a stand alone Mac who's job is to compile and test your app.

Apple does not care about small developers, and countless HN stories have spent their time on the front page detailing how Apple has shut apps off for not violating terms, and having zero recourse over this. By doing so, Apple has slandered many members of the HN community.

I am not saying other companies are not also guilty of it (Google seems to have recently learned there are no penalties for this, largely because Apple has never been penalized), but more and more people really are just dropping Apple and never going back.

If Apple truly cared about app development on their platform(s), they would just port their stuff to Windows and Linux, just like Microsoft did to OSX and Linux.
So encasing the cells in glass stopped decomposition? There was no pressure buildup in the cells? No gasses released?

The test says it's 1800 hours of stressful conditions for the cells. Assuming 10h of sunlight per day, that's 180 days of stability. I guess time will tell how long they really last, but it's good news that they surpassed test requirements.

And having a 25% conversion rate baseline compared to a ~26% assumed max for silicon is also impressive. I wonder how much they can boost that.

There would at least be an assumption that the samples are drawn independently from a single distribution, and the estimate of the median is for that same distribution.

In the example you gave, the samples you draw are from the distribution of (the speed of your car just as it is setting off). There would be no guarantee that the estimated median has any relationship for any other distribution, such as (speed of your car during a trip). If you want to estimate the latter you'd need to figure out a way to draw random samples from that distribution.

So Chromebooks only let you run software that a Google employee approved, unless you wipe your device to enable developer mode (which nobody, after using it for a while and then deciding to develop something, will want to do)? There is no other way to run some test code on it? I didn't know that and it seems strange (even Android is more liberal than that, and that's not a laptop) so genuine question.
I always liked the standard appearance of monospaced type in LaTeX, but not the regular proportional serif text. It's a kneejerk reaction, but thinking about why, I notice that one not so subjective issue is that parts of the letters are just too thin for a relatively low resolution screen, presumably because they were designed for laser printing...

If you really want serifs, why is it better than Times?

Also, has anyone ever tried doing scientific papers with a sans-serif font?

Yes, I remember plenty of free providers (as well as quality paid ones, and ISP ones, for example GMX and Ilse), including with IMAP/POP3, TLS/SSL support, anti spam features, anti virus features etc. Gmail was unique in three ways: it had a huge quota (for that time), and it offered a slick web interface. The other way Gmail was unique was the invite. If you gotta get invited to become part of the (secret) club, that makes it more special.
People have shown that direction optimizing BFS fits very neatly inside graphblas actually [1]. Perhaps in a few years people will have figured out how to make delta stepping and storing predecessors fit too even if it's not clear at the moment.

For delta stepping, it seems all you would need is a priority queue that works in batches as opposed to individual elements. Then to make it performant and match delta stepping code written from scratch, you might need something that can fuse multiple graphblas operations together so that you don't have too many extra memory ops from the priority queue operations.

I commend you for the attempt...

But the issue you are trying to mitigate (heavy tokens due to complex scope strategy) is a symptom of a bigger problem that has caused OAuth-using folks to scratch their heads for a long while. (of course, also realtes to non-Oauth JWTs)

Tldr: The new "Cloud native" way of solving for this is to not push your "Permissions" thru the token.

Basically, you limit the scopes included in a token to just a few basic ones (essentially assigning the user to a "Role" - think RBAC)....

... and then you use a modern Authorization approach (e.g. CNCF Open Policy Agent) to implement the detailed/fine grain authorization.

Its hella cool, declarative, distributed, and infinitely scalable...

... and it obviates the whole "heavy JWT" issue before it starts....

Maybe, maybe not.
> So how about don't be stupid about it and instead make three engineers devote 1/3 of their time to this?

If your product-critical cloud backend depends on people being knowledgeable in a specific programming language, you don't make it a 1/3 time side project for multiple engineers.

Also, if you start giving people "1/3 time" responsibilities, you're one step away from "everything is top priority" territory.

The point is: If you're going to write critical pieces of your infrastructure in a specific language, it's a requirement to have at least one person full-time dedicated to that piece of infrastructure.

When things go wrong at scale, you can't depend on a group of people for whom this is a part-time side project.
The problem is that regardless of the number of programmers that refuse to implement the whole thing, you only need one to ever say yes to get it.

So every bad idea eventually gets implemented.
Reading the thread, including the parent post the OP omitted, it looks like they rewrote the background picker. And decided that this wasn't worth the time to reimplement.

Well it's not as if people are paying for GNOME.

Is there something on the issue tracker to add it back?

Rather than creating some drama or calling out a GNOME developer, why not see if you can implement the feature?

The odds are they'd welcome the contribution.

Edit:

Looks like it's not part of the "design vision" of GNOME.

However gotta say there seems to be a lot of hostility generated.

I had a small harmless extension which does not access ANY user information and completely client-side. I received cryptic takedown notice and was not able to convince them it is not in violation of their policies. They never specify what policy exactly you violate, just keep referring to the whole document. Finally I decided it is not worth it and took down my extension.

There was a commenter here on HN (if my Google-fu serves me, I'll come back and edit with a link) talking about this problem wrt contracted educational services. Folks request intermediate to advanced training. The trainer shows up, finds out that everyone is actually a beginner with this particular technology, and has to adapt the course appropriately.

That's pretty good customer service, but it's not something you can get with a book. I suspect "intermediate" books with a "beginner" start are attempting to address this problem and head off the terrible reviews. Perhaps it's an ego thing with software engineers. "I'm no idiot, so I'm intermediate," "I've been doing software for decades so I'm advanced," and not realizing that it's about your experience with this technology, not your brain.

>You can't just write "sworn" at the end of something you wrote with no one else present and call it an affidavit.

I mean, I've personally submitted a declaration to a court, and all I did was digitally sign a document and email it to my lawyer. No notary required.

Re jurisdiction: the current law doesn't require anyone posting on YouTube to accept US jurisdiction to anyone who wants to sue for infringement - they only require that if someone wants to file a counternotice. I think this is good. Posting a video shouldn't open you up to jurisdiction everywhere, but insisting your content remain accessible in the US in the face of an infringement allegation should.

If your proposed affidavit doesn't increase the penalties for infringement, then the only purpose is to enforce jurisdiction?

Re chilling effect: it depends on how relevant this affirmation is. I still don't think I understand exactly what you mean. But if it's enough to chill some infringement, then it's going to chill some legitimate speech as well, and if it's going to significantly chill infringement then it will significantly chill legitimate speech. That's the lesson of history. Every attempt at making it easier to censor has this effect. You can't avoid this trade-off.
Statistics on flu deaths are effectively fabricated through statistical voodoo. Health authorities count up how many people died from pneumonia, subtract the number of people they think ought to have died, and label the difference "flu deaths". I'll grudgingly admit that there are valid use cases for this kind of thing, but it's meaningless to directly compare it to a count of people where a doctor wrote "COVID-19" on the death certificate.
Because that assumption would means everyone is getting a GPON / Fibre Network. In reality even if 20% of the nation is still connected via ADSL, your average speed would have been significantly lowered.

Whether you hire an outside consultant or not doesn’t matter. You have to pay the cost one way or another, either by your employees spending time learning the language + experimenting + making mistakes, or by going through some training and hopefully making less mistakes (not guaranteed).
Perhaps I'm missing your actual requirements (based on what's been suggested below), but I've been using voip.ms for years now. They support voice and SMS, and even my bank's SMS "2FA" works with them now. They don't support MMS, however (though you may have meant that when you said SMS).

SMS is available as a FLOSS app (I use the F-Droid voip.ms app), or through another portal - able to be sent/received through email, another number, or a web interface.

I honestly have only good things to say about them (despite being a consumer of their seemingly B2B product). As a disclaimer, I don't work for them, have no affiliation with them, and made a point of not using any kind of referral link.
Creating a style guide and UI components is definitely a solid foundation! I also highly recommend the Design Systems Handbook (https://www.designbetter.co/design-systems-handbook).

The engagement model should be a bit of both:

- Designers who maintain the design system are like the architects, and advocate for other developers to use the system patterns. They should also partner with developers to ensure that the UI components are opinionated.

- You still need to consider your web app's overall UX flows though, so designers are still needed to mock up new features for the developers to implement. Even with a robust design system, there are many ways to easily create unintuitive or messy designs. A designer should be assigned to each team and be in charge of mocking up the team's work and ensuring that the team is properly using the design system.
Thanks, I'll have to check it out. I've definitely dabbled in Python but I would like to learn it properly.
Oh ho ho ho. What weird things we use as a databases. I remember when I first started out as a consultant developer we were using a CMS as our data repository because someone thought that was a good idea. (It wasn't). The vendor was flown in from the states to help troubleshooting. I will never forget how he looked at me when I had to explain to him why we made so many nodes in the content tree, it was because we were using the CMS as a repository.
I like this.

We do keep giving power to some system because they "protect us" (Google and Apple in 2010) but there's always a chance that they'll stop caring once they don't need your support anymore.

Microsoft is also trying to buy our support by being benevolent, I wonder how long and if that will last.
If it bothers you enough "to switch", that implies you've not been writing extensions using universal web extension code, in which case.... what? Why not? The only massive difference is the namespace ("broswer" vs. "chrome"), which is trivially shimmed, and promises vs. callbacks, which is also easily made universal.

But having said that, if you're considering switching you probably also want to consider telling your paid customers how to install your extension themselves, rather than sending them over to Google's extension "store".

I'm really sorry to hear that--it looks like a useful extension and I'm sure you've put a lot of hard work into it.

Naive question to you and to other extension developers here ... how does Firefox do when it comes to this issue? Is it just that the market share is so much lower that it's not worth developing for FF? I ask this as a happy FF user on mac, linux, ios.
That's why you don't market yourself as a generalist problem-solver. You market yourself as an expert in C# AND Python AND Swift AND... whatever else you know how to use. With appropriate signalling to communicate your experience levels with each.

There are lots of senior roles that require oversight of multiple projects that are working with different tech stacks. Some companies specialise in a single language. But lots of companies have say 2 or 3 backend languages (say C++, Go, and Python), plus a website in JavaScript plus mobile apps in Java/Kotlin and Swift/Objective-C. Being able to dive into all of those makes you incredibly valuable to this kind of company.
>That is a question that should be decided, if it gets to that point, by a court of law. It is not a question that should be decided by the bare assertion of the plaintiff, as it was in this case under the DMCA regime.

Another downside is that forcing all such cases to court hurts innocent infringers. If the only way a company can remove content is by suing, there will be a lot more suits, which is a lot more expensive on both sides, including on those that did not infringe at all and on those that infringed inadvertently. I'd prefer if the latter category simply got a DMCA notice and went away, rather than having to go to court. Both sides, in my scenario, would prefer the DMCA solution rather than the court solution, but you don't.
