In practice, I've used org tables (as a minor mode) even before I've started to use org mode regularly -- so much I've liked it (use case: manual entry of smal tables with occasional formulas)

I find inline pictures very helpful when Org Babel is used as analog of Jupyter notebooks (plantuml diagrams, pandas plots).
Every time I see something about org mode it makes me want to learn emacs, but I am very used to vim. This one is especially tempting, though.
Is that true? Both the top people profiled in this article moved from out of state into SF and appear to have immediately become homeless.
great apology, but doesn't justify the incompetence and initial justifications.

You're telling me that no one on your team has brought up the issue throughout the whole process? That leaves three possibilities.

1. someone brought it up but you ignored it and pushed through anyways
2. Nobody brought it up due to incompetence
3. Both happened just 2 happened late in the process.

Why would anyone trust their data with leadership that incompetent?
I don't know WTF is going on in C++ world but they seem to be unable to adopt a build & dependency management system given all the historical baggage.

In Python:

. ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

In Java:

mvn build

In C++:

cat README.txt ..... now go apt install some packages. Except they might be named differently in your distro. Also some of them might be a different version but my README specifies no version, so it might fail to compile or error out later because of a header mismatch. Also the one available in your distro might not be compiled with the "X_POTATO=1" flag (which you will discover somewhere along the way is required), so its time to build that dependency from source and restart this whole dependency management hell one layer down have fun :)

There are different versions of compilers supporting different features floating around, but Makefiles or whatever don't specify that. Build dependency management is frequently something like `sudo apt install...`, tying the build process into packages installed in the OS itself rather than being sandboxed which creates all sorts of problems.

Yeah, basically you would be looking for a government policy that would be making something cheaper, but also so wildly convenient that it ends up increasing usage faster than the savings.

Another example is the expansion of highways; if highways are free, expanding them to relieve traffic will generally cause car travel to go up as more trips become tolerable, and then the highway will be as congested as it was before. https://www.vox.com/2014/10/23/6994159/traffic-roads-induced...

Sorry, I meant specifically the combo of bacon & eggs. Bacon, historically, isn't a breakfast food - it just became a staple in the US due to a lot of marketing, trying to make it sound "healthier" than it is (in particular the nitrite-heavy, thin-sliced bacon sold in supermarkets, which is a lot unhealthier than the european/canadian style)
Experiments Are Hard
No, they really aren't. Some of the reported patterns probably aren't even legal in large parts of the world today.

Not that it would matter if they were. Other people doing nasty things is no excuse for doing them yourself as well.
We make an intuitive assumption about the final state and then use the rules we know to apply equations to verify the final state.

In this case, the equations not matching up proved that our initial assumption (steady state) was itself wrong.

Sure, but that's been Greg KH's stance on pretty much every kernel module that has no chance of going upstream [1].

"Simple, get your kernel driver into the main kernel tree (remember we are talking about drivers released under a GPL-compatible license here, if your code doesn't fall under this category, good luck, you are on your own here, you leech)."

Also in the post you are citing, the technical change makes no reference to ZFS [2] or implies that the motivation is to break out of tree modules. The upstream community simply doesn't even consider out of tree projects when making changes. Whether that's good or bad is another discussion, but I don't see anything that's specific to ZFS.

I should also note that to my knowledge, OpenZFS (formerly ZoL) was the only (open source) ZFS implementation that utilized vectorized checksums. At the very least FreeBSD's in-tree ZFS did not have vectorized checksums, as that was listed as one of the features FreeBSD would gain by moving to OpenZFS [3]. So the cited change didn't break ZFS, it just meant those checksums weren't as fast as they used to be.

This isn't just a whoopsy mistake, this is a drastically stupid decision that brings the whole business into question. This wasn't really a technical mistake, this is bad leadership mixed with bad procedures. When you drive you boat into the ground because your "not thinking" as the captain, it doesn't remove the fact that you drove a boat into the ground. Irresponsible would be an under statement, it would be more appropriate to call this moronic.
This is wrong. The energy is proportional to the height, not its square. You would get wrong units otherwise.
Hey, I was complaining at you in the previous thread, so I feel obliged to say thanks for the apology and the reversal. I think the feature, IFF opt-in, is a good idea.

I'm for a competitor to LinkedIn, but I never got an answer to what the play was after opening up profiles. I support TripleByte's mission, yet I don't believe that you have critical mass in both job seekers nor in sway to convince companies/recruiters to change their process.

During the last 6 months I've stopped logging into Stack Overflow. It is a nice resource but for me it is read only for now because they messed up so hard - and refused to come up with a real apology.

Same goes for Quora: they betrayed us hard by trying to tell everyone what we were looking at. (Edit: next sentence added later:) Now imagine you've been reading up about health issues and realize it is suddenly on your profile. Still now, many years later I shun them as they haven't as far as I see come clean.

In some cases, if it get caught early enough, just saying: "we messed up, sorry, here's what we will do:" can be enough.

In other cases - where there are layers of bad patterns, lies and contempt for users and volunteers I actively want to punish them until they start behaving.

Quora (broadcasting sensitive information), Google (trying to kill the web, insulting me with insanely misplaced ads for years, trying to kill Firefox), Stack Overflow all goes on my list of companies that I actively work against, but I guess only until I see real change ;-)

On iPhone safari this site’s nav bar is hard to use. It seems to hide with any downward movement, which is bad for iPhones because of the spring effect at the top of a page. Maybe check that the user is beyond a certain threshold (100px down the page?) before hiding the nav.

Otherwise I really like the idea.

This comment is the hallmark of a company that doesn’t feel like it needs to answer to users or criticism.

Ghost is a superb platform for creating a blog and indeed a complete online publication. The only problem is its complicated to install and setup correctly for those for are not developers, and it doesn't run on traditional web hosting. Like Wordpress, the creators of Ghost offer their own hosting for Ghost however it isn't the most affordable service. Enter Midnight.

It is, but at the same time music was never* the subject of interest of those in power and the crew enjoyed complete freedom in music selection. Some of the staff have weathered every change of power (and by extension the station and media executives) since the communist times up until the current govt. It takes a lot of bad will to force someone out of their job after they've dedicated 30 - 50 years building the place they and their listeners cherished.

it's only an issue if you're outside the big cities. I spend a pretty significant amount of time there, my minimal japanese has gotten me around on the country side too. but moving there would mean dealing with the local government bureaucracy like registering with your local city to pay taxes, which is still very foreigner unfriendly (though they are trying to improve it)

I wasn't worried about it back then, because whether or not I could deploy on a particular computer or access some data was a matter of trust between me and my customers. No middlemen, no gatekeepers.

Today, many users are only reachable via platforms/shops that are severely restricted and/or dominated by a few all powerful overlords that can ban you for life, rendering your skills null and void in the blink of an AI - no recourse.

Some of that is understandable. Users' trust was misused. There is a constant onslaught of all sorts of miscreants trying to exploit every imaginable loophole, technical or social. Everyone is seeking protection in the arms of someone powerful.

But there is also a very large degree of market dysfunction. Just look at their margins. Look at their revenue cut. Look at their terms of service. They can dictate absolutely everything and grant you absolutely no rights whatsoever.

And there are like five of them on the entire planet ruling over those distribution channels.

The only right you have is to walk away. Now try walking away from the only market there is. You're leaving behind 99% of your potential customers.

I can certainly understand that when you're excited about rolling out a new feature and you encounter some pushback your gut reaction might be to "sell" people on it or try to explain it better rather than listen. The important thing is that he did eventually listen.

I think it's also important to distinguish the idea from the execution. A LinkedIn alternative for developers is a great idea. The problem was the incredibly short opt-out (instead of opt-in) with notice given to users on Friday afternoon of a long holiday weekend.
I feel sorry for them and Ammon in particular and I think this can be turned around but that mail and that feature seems like only the icing on the cake from what I can see.

It seems to me there's a whole cultural problem going on.

A good industrial umbrella with a concrete or iron stand will do wonders except for the brightest part of the day. I worked outside most mornings on a terrace in Mexico for a long time.

How would that help? If I were fighting city hall about upzoning and they went and upzoned my property anyway, I'd likely sell my newly increased value property to someone else (or have it be ED'd at a higher compensation) and then move somewhere that still has single-family zoning. Whether one has been fighting upzoning or not, they are still entitled to the higher value.

>This is not relevant, because the British began trading opium before that

So what? The fourty years after that still saw the British smuggle in opium against the wishes of the Chinese empire, eventually declaring war for the right to deal drugs.

That China had some opium use without British influence doesn't mean the British did not manufacture a demand for it. They massively reduced the price of an addictive substance, making it available to a whole new market.

LGBTQ individuals are at an inordinately high risk of homelessness. Big cities tend to be more LGBTQ friendly. San Francisco is quite famous for being LGBTQ friendly.

https://streetlifesolutions.blogspot.com/2019/06/lgbtq-indiv...

Big cities also tend to be where you find sufficient soup kitchens and the like to not starve to death if you have absolutely nothing. Not all homeless have absolutely nothing. Many have some kind of an income, it's just not enough to support a middle class life (or even a lower class life that includes housing). But it can still be helpful to be in a big city where not everyone will know you and there are resources, etc.

There are substantial challenges to traveling while homeless. You may lack ID and this is a barrier to buying tickets on long distance travel options like buses or trains. You certainly lack money and bus tickets cost money. Many routes in the US are de facto closed to foot traffic. If you have no car, no driver's license, no money for tickets or no ID, going anywhere else is hugely challenging.

Most people who are homeless are disabled in some manner. They have health issues or they are mentally ill or they are ADHD, etc. This makes getting any kind of job hard. It can make just getting through the day hard.

I walked and caught rides while homeless and traveled from Georgia to California. Previous comment by me about some of the challenges of trying to walk anywhere in the US:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21309036

I run several blogs about homelessness or related resources aimed at trying to help the homeless survive and get their lives back. You should be able to find all of them via Street Life Solutions (linked above).
