Ask HN: At what stage did you adopt feature flagging?
I've been looking at the many feature flagging services and some of the OSS options.

I'm unsure if now is the right time to start using an entirely new set of tools to solve what currently feels like a pretty mundane problem.
Notes and reference material benefits from good search tooling.

But tasks or todo lists benefit from being well-organised.
I mean, since I started working from home my eletric bill is up by 20%. So is only fair to assume that they should pay me more, to cover that cost.
If you say something is true and you know that it isn't, you're lying. If you demonstrate that you're lying, people won't take you seriously.
Your advice would have more weight if you provided some arguments. GNU tools are also good enough, and this kit seems like a lot easier way to get started with your C lab exercise than installing Visual Studio and getting lost in it.

I dislike Visual Studio because to set things up you have to compare online screenshots to your settings and click around multiple tabs of configurations. In the end you (as beginner) don't know what libraries get included and if it will work on another computer. GNU tools are text-driven, so easier to replicate and to reason about.
And the companies get blamed when they "pass costs on to consumers".

As if they had any other source of money. _All_ their money comes from consumers. If we don't want regressive taxation, then take this money as welfare by raising income tax.

"If we send people a check, the costs are passed on to the taxpaying public, which includes rich people who pay extra taxes and does not include poor people who get out of a lot of taxes because of their low income. If we pressure fast food places to pay more, the costs are passed on to fast food consumers, who are less likely to be wealthy and more likely to be black than the general population."

BCE has printed 750 B EUR out of thin air, with the "hope" that banks will give loans to real businesses. Ahah.
While you're right to a certain point, more Linux developers on the AMD platforms will eventually lead to less AMD-related bugs in the kernel. From what I've seen of AMD, the hardware is often excellent but the software leaves something to be desired. AMD GPU drivers, for example, are stable for some and unstable for others.

The more people involved with building Linux use AMD hardware, the fewer AMD-only bugs find themselves into the kernel. It might also help with optimizing the software for higher core counts now that 32 cores without NUMA is feasible for workstations.

In the end I think parts of the core team switching to AMD will make the hardware platform more attractive for people browsing for workstations. AMD provides great value for money but if you want stability, you buy Intel. Now that probability of instability is decreased with major kernel developers testing out changes and encountering some of the same potential bugs, Threadripper becomes more attractive to certain groups of power users.

This is celebrity news that might affect a lot of people in their day-to-day business down the line, which is different from the typical "Paul Graham ate breakfast" or "Linus Torvalds flips off nvidia" celebrity news cycle.
My confusion was that those aren't "rent" that the employee is paying. But I may have misinterpreted what they're referring to as "rent" here. They might have meant the company paying rent to the employee rather than the company reimbursing the employee's rent to the landlord.
Has anyone had success doing mobile development on linux? Thanks to XCode it seems it's a no-go for a lot of mobile developers.
I worked in the print industry when I was younger. The increase in Posters / bill boards / custom cardboard standing displays actually created so many more print jobs. From phd book binding to custom business print jobs to online demand printing there are so many more things we are printing now.

There are more newspapers but they are all owned by larger players which means different types of machines and parts.

A better example might have been blacksmiths. Although the amount of people making cars is a larger group.
In my brief viewing he pretends to be unbiased. Unfortunately that generally consists of bringing on nut jobs like Alex Jones and pretending their fabricated claims are just as worthy of discussion as actual subject matter experts bringing facts and logic.

Downvoting because you like Joe Rogan? Fitting there's no actual RESPONSE, because what I posted is accurate. Joe Rogan: "Alex Jones is just misunderstood" - the guy who ran with the Sandy Hook conspiracy and was likely a major contributing factor in one of the parents committing suicide. Joe Rogan's "unbiased" approach is toxic.

Not if you are an employee of a business.

The tax code just changed this year.
I only recently discovered him, and the biggest thing I noticed is that he lets his guests talk. Probably because he's not constrained to a particular amount of time, but I find gems in his interviews of people that I don't from the same people interviewed elsewhere
React state management with Recoil js
LFS wouldn't have a package manager (as far as I know) so it would be an insane amount of effort to keep all the software up to date (by recompiling everything manually).

Arch is actually a nice middle-ground. It's got a lot of learning potential (you still build the system from scratch by installing everything manually and creating the right files and mount points - there is no installer) but it's not as tedious as LFS and can actually be usable day to day (spend years on Arch before moving to proprietary OSes).
I’m done. The guy doesn’t owe me anything so no hard feelings.
It's not about costing money, it's about costing a lot of money and being a proprietary format.

The idea of locking myself out of my data is unappealing.

And as I replied to the sibling: the ability to export to a format does not mean that it's the default, that it's optimal and not lossy.

If you were able to change the output format permanently to .taskpaper and the software "just worked" I would have less of an issue.

I don't mind software costing money (I pay for an all-license JetBrains account) but that doesn't lock information away in proprietary formats requiring me to renew my subscription or lose my data.
Using Ubuntu.

I use Mint. I pretty much left everything as it defaulted to.
Reddit and HN skew to young, white males.

And Joe has been quite savvy at tailoring both his content and his image for them.
One is forced to wonder why they must choose between "stable" and "up to date" at an OS level.
This is suppose to help with fraud? Lets be serious for a moment. The only thing that this is going to change is that the supposedly hacked computers will no longer run VNC on standard ports.

I think what we might be seeing here is the outcome of some overpaid consultant's claim that they can protect ebay from fraud with 'sophisticated' malware detection.
Do you pay your employer for the utilities at work?
I'd. Really. But every time there is a problem (and usually I have more problems than under Windows or MacOS) I have to search forums and obscure blogs for hours and tinkering in the terminal while praying to not break something else too. Maybe I'm just too "casual" for the Linux experience.
Disappointing ad hominem, expected a better analysis about viewpoints instead of the people he invites. Joe Rogan is unique not because of his guests but what he talks about with his guests, these topics are not covered by the mainstream.

If the institutional gate keepers want to declare a new main stream than also embrace people with a more nuanced point of view instead of this fully scripted narrative they publish 24/7.

When was the last positive article published by the NYTimes about Russia, the Republican party or even number 45?

I wish the main stream isn't as compromised as it is. Until then I have to listen to Joe Rogan & the portal to tap into nuanced thoughtful content.
Password. Username. Maybe also hostname.
> "- system update when I want it,..."

Windows ramming its updates down my throat whenever they feel like it is totally unacceptable among other things.
I agree that the defaults for macos are decent.

However, the customizability of linux goes far far beyond macos.

scripting is possible with macos (say shell scripts, perl and python), but nothing graphical/ui.

(ignoring tk, also ignoring orphaned applescript)

Even something simple like yad would be nice on macos.
I meant the cable is not included with the laptop.
> It's a reflection of how much the LTV of his audience is worth.

That may not be it exactly either. What they are paying him to do is bootstrap the spotify podcasting ecosystem. Spotify hopes the publicity will bring in people who don't listen to Joe Rogan as well.
> The browser code would 'fork' a UID to run the untrusted code (and only that), and then we make good use of all the existing UID-based policy in the kernel.

What would be the privilege set of that new UID though?

And it would be a poor UX if that separate UID had absolutely zero access to my (human) UID-secured files because then it wouldn't be able to access my browser cache and history - and I'd rather Chrome didn't decide to require each browser process to have its own non-shared cache. It's bad enough Chrome is now using 3.5GB for 4 windows (16 tabs total) on my desktop.
It will be interesting to see how it goes. On the one hand, this could be a lot like Stern going to satellite radio: he went from being one of the biggest personalities in media to someone I don't ever think about.

At the same time, it's super interesting that Rogan negotiated a deal which appears to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars for Spotify to licence his content for 3 years, after which point he could put it all back on YouTube if he wanted. The fact that he had that kind of leverage as an independent creator who started by recording his friends clowning around at his house and now has presidential candidates knocking at his door begging for an interview shows the power of independent media
So if you don't work from home, you bring your own office and computer and desk and chair to work? In my part of the world, employer tends to provide those. And it makes sense that they still provide for what I need to do my job even if I don't do it on premises.

But yeah, I think people who work from home should make more money. Consider it a reward for not contributing to traffic congestion and pollution. :P If you really insist on working onsite, fine, maybe we can allow that but it's not a free perk!
Thank you! That's extremely helpful.
It might not look right if a stiff breeze blew Iron Man out of the park
> Why should someone working from home make more money than someone who does not?

If I have to work from home I need a larger apartment with an extra room, and it will be more expensive. During lockdown I'm using the room of my son, but it is not really a feasible arrangement in the long run.
a good criterion is whether it's pathological i.e. do you incur in self-harm in order to satisfy your habit?

do you pass up on opportunities because of it? e.g. would you pass up a chance to engage in some activity because you know there won't be any coffee?
Ubuntu is good right after you install it, but then steadily decreases in quality. I got to the point where I avoided updates, because random things always broke.

After trying several distributions. I ended up long-term moving to Arch, it's way more work to setup but it has more of a I built it, I can fix it vibe. I always struggled to fix previous distributions after some update blowing something up.

In my opinion, the biggest thing Mac and Windows has going on is how stable they are.
A trend that started already in a lot of companies a couple of years ago and will only be accelerated by Covid. Many places do overbook desks in offices right now and have flex-tables without fixed assigned workers. Seems fair to think about compensating employees for the costs that are being pushed to their side.

Writing is very useful but I find myself hating the writing process. Are there any alternatives?
The estimates I’ve seen put it closer to $60 million annually on the low end. Perhaps as high as $240 million.
Your plumber is not an employee. Your plumber should be paying for the tools of their employees, yes.

If you are an independent contractor, a company should pay your rate. If you are an employee the company should pay for the equipment needed for the job.
I do this for Android. Works like a charm.
The guy who wrote this outed his former classmate as gay, among other weird things, like editing his own Wikipedia page with sockpuppets. Not a good look.

This website shows the exact reason I don't use Linux out of virtual machines. In terms of desktop, there are so much whatever from whoever and they are all broken horribly that it's not even a joke anymore.

Unlike Windows and MacOS Linux gives you options. That is the exact reason why I don't use Linux in desktop.
- one of the biggest and earliest support of Emmanuel Macron, helped him become president (offering to do his PR, made him met the right persons -- especially Mimi Marchand, who can make and break celebrities, lawfully or not, helped set up Macron's political party with other billionaires, etc)

- control the #1 French newspaper, "Le Monde" (extremely poplar on the Web, too), is buying up other media (Nice-Matin, most recently), is/was also influential in opposition media (e.g Mediapart)

It's definitely thousands of dollars to go eat lunch in SF, a year. Plus companies often serve breakfast/dinner. And, in the case of my last company (Dropbox), the food was absurdly good. I considered my Dropbox food to be like 50k in value to me.
'I left my campervan in Argentina'
Can you give some examples? I've found it to be pretty good with the basic stuff like switching applications or workspaces, snapping windows to the left or right half of the screen, opening and closing arbitrary things. I can think of some ways I'd like it to be better though, like making the left/right halves arbitrary sizes with the keyboard.
Some employers though won't even reimburse for improved internet service during a pandemic lockdown. My guess is those who prefer butts in chairs would rather expand offices to comply with distancing guidelines, even in high CoL areas. Could be their are also more sufficient tax write-offs for office buildings.
More like the buggy-whip manufacturer being supplanted by the auto industry
What’s the financial difference between those two?
Fox News has been the hyper-profitable and true mainstream media for awhile now. They make a lot of money because they're pandering to a slight minority opinion that is often not well supported by other organizations. Put another way: they manufacture and distribute information that otherwise wouldn't exist and this is actually in very high demand by people with a message. In short, supply is scarce for reactionary messaging and when effective communicators do emerge in that market they immediately find a ton of interested parties throwing money at them.

Rogan is an extension of that phenomenon, and it's the reason he makes lots of money. He's a lot like Limbaugh or Hannity in his career path; by showing a willingness to cater to authoritarian reactionary views, he's opened himself up to a lot of media opportunities.

What's weird about the narrative around Rogan is that he was ever "alternative" to begin with. He's been indistinguishable in methodology from the average conservative pundit for some time. His guest lists are very similar to the average conservative pundit. That he used a different broadcast media isn't that significant. He panders to the same sorts of audience segments in a younger audience.
I will not respond to such hostile comments other than to say:

1) I posted content which can be used to check the vulnerability of browsers, like you asked.

2) Requiring a specific user "prove you wrong" on a public forum is not conducive to a healthy discussion. It looks more like baiting and bullying.

3) The fact that it did not work does not mean that there is no future repercussions for this class of issues affecting browsers.

I will not resort to saying that you're "talking out of your ass", but I will outwardly accuse you of discussing this topic in bad faith.
The Linux world spread its resources thin across a lot of "options" (with the result that none of them get enough attention to bring them to a polished state) instead of doing one option but doing it well.

Wrapland Redone – Subdiff – KDE, KWinFT
Our Galaxy's Black Hole Suddenly Lit Up and Nobody Knows Why (2019)
Wix generates work for web developers.

People use Wix, get some traction, and then reinvest. Over time, they want to do more and more, but begin bumping into the limitations of the platform. That's when they hire a web developer to build them something.

That company wouldn't have otherwise seen enough value in the web to pursue hiring a web developer.
The only reason CMake is considered better than automake is because automake is so unimaginably dreadful. CMake is a lot worse than pretty much any competent piece of software.
As I do not know, what DDG subsumes under "objectionable material" (apart from it being "mostly adult"), yes. It was never a problem until recently, some sites seem to have stepped up their SEO game.
This thread is very timely, as I'm looking to switch from macOS to Linux, and I tried years ago, but was turned off by difficulties getting the keyboard setup the way I wanted it.

One of my favorite macOS applications is "ShortCat", which allows you to chord a shortcut (cmd-shift-space) and gives you a "GUI search" wherein any text that is on the screen (on any monitor) becomes selectable by typing it and choosing a selection...kind of like the way Vimium works in the browser, but for your multi-application context. I am comfortable with vim bindings generally but don't really care as long as there is consistency (pre-baked preferable, but configurable works). I've tried Linux years and years ago and my biggest gripe was that there was no unified "system" for handling setup of keyboard shortcuts / macros. "One system to rule them all" would be ideal, or at least "one system for each context layer, consistent between applications."

I am getting option paralysis since I know there will be a learning curve, and I don't want to spend a lot of time customizing just to find that the distro I picked is not going to meet my needs without a ton of deep customization. What Linux distro and/or window manager is going to get me multi-monitor HiDPI support with good keyboard-only navigation? From lurking HN i3 looks like it might be favored in my situation?

I want a workflow that allows me to easily jump from window-context to window-context, tab-to-tab, sub-window to sub-window, independent of monitor or applications.

I would consider something minimal like NixOS or Arch if someone could recommend a good playbook/setup for someone like me, and Manjaro and Pop_OS both look cool, but otherwise will probably default to Ubuntu for beginner google-fu.
thanks I'm using gcc inside of a Ubuntu Vbox but yeah llvm with VS would also be good~

Linux programming environment is a desktop distribution. Maybe WSL has some part of it, but a VM is a VM.
generally speaking the only reason that would be difficult would be due to legal constraints on the data locality.

if it was just performance than read only replica's in each region would solve most of the issues.

for the legal case generally I just end up with a separate postgresql DB in each region and during login the region is determined by user/company.

usually ends up being like 1k LOCs total.
Python & Django because you already know python. If you want to learn something new I'd suggest Elixir & Phoenix, Phoenix's new LiveView capabilities are pretty incredible.
> It’s the nature of addiction to treat pleasure and happiness as one. The less of an addict you become, the more you’ll realize how separate and distinct these are, and the more weight you’ll place on long-term happiness.

The means someone achieves pleasure or long term happiness can in fact be the same. And I see see no reason to believe why a video gaming community (what he refers to as a shallow connection) can't provide both. Are you enjoying yourself presently? Great, that's pleasure. Is this a sustainable way to enjoy yourself? Great, you are on your way to long term happiness.

> We also expose the shallowness of connections that don’t really serve us. What does it say about a connection that isn’t as good without gaming or coffee? What does it say about the quality of a relationship if going orgasm-free for a while leaves you feeling hollow and empty instead of deeply in love and grateful? Addictions so often mask substantial weaknesses that we don’t feel ready to face.

We have a wide variety of needs, and it is unreasonable to think there is a magic bullet. Different social groups (or activities, hobbies) meet different needs. If you remove whatever was meeting your need, then you will naturally feel a sense of loss, whether the relationship was a healthy one (what he calls intimate) or an addictive one. I would imagine the loss of my dog or a loved one would leave me grieving for some time and I would enjoy parts of my life less. This doesn't mean those less enjoyable things were bad.
He has intriguing diverse guests and let them do most of the speaking, for an extended period of time.

It's refreshing.

There are plenty of people I would never have listened to otherwise, because they are outside my bubble or just because they would represent something against my view of the world.

But because I also saw people I view as interesting or people I already knew from somewhere else, and because they have the time and space to elaborate, I gave the others a chance.

This allowed me to be exposed to new topics, points of views, etc, in a relaxing and human format.

Just like regular media, it's full of bullshit. But I'm full of it too.

It does, however, feel way more genuine than regular media.
> Anybody else here remembers times when Google search supported blocking domains in personal setting?

If you want to run linux, buy from a manufacturer with decent linux support. In my experience, all my dell laptops worked seamlessly with linux. No driver hackery required. WiFi never stopped working. However, HP seemed to have very poor support for linux, and you need to install drivers for WiFi manually, which need to be recompiled on each kernel upgrade.
Everything about hiding secret messages in Images
It's not like Rogan is inaccessible right now. He appeals to a different age group, but a similar political demographic.
