Developer advocates are sales people for an API. It does not necessarily need to be open source. For example, Twilio may have a developer advocate to help people get started with their product.

In other cases it is about an ecosystem. For Tensorflow, Google is seeking market dominance because they also offer the ecosystem around machine learning - the cloud. For that you higher people to promote your product, give people examples to get started, and sometimes interface and help users.
If you're this risk adverse, what are you even doing outside your home in the first place?

Edit: Do the downvoters earnestly believe the risk of going out in public at all doesn't dwarf the risk of touching a library book somebody else touched a day or two ago? The risk of surface contamination is dubious in the first place, not to mention libraries have a sad tendency to be lightly trafficked. Meanwhile grocery stores are packed and nobody leaves the pizza box they get delivered laying around for three days before touching it.
Yes, you and wcerfgba both sound like you assumed mods removed it, and "for no reason". Why else Ask HN "Why it got removed?" Not exactly a conspiracy theory, but leaping to assume mods removed it, then asking "Why was it removed?" is how conspiracy theorists operate, not how you find the truth. If you really want the truth (not just my guess!), write to HN by email, they will give you a helpful answer I'm sure. But I don't think there was anything right in what wcerfgba said to you.

If you want it discussed, (which maybe the issue already has been, did you check?) write a blog post on it and submit that, or submit it again as news – not an AskHN – writing a comment explaining what you think is fascinating about it.

Right, you'd likely have to connect your old CAN-bus reader to the new system through an active PHY-to-PHY adapter dongle, sort of like a VGA-to-HDMI adapter, or (presumably, once it happens) a MIDI1.0 to MIDI2.0 adapter.

As long as the new version of the protocol is still formatted on the higher OSI layers in terms of reusing the core messages from the old version, and then adding new messages that are optional to the understanding of what's going on from a CAN1.0 perspective, then a change in the PHY layer still isn't really throwing the baby out with the bath-water.

Hi, I have 10+ years of engineering experience, have been through a lot of technologies. My professional experience has been as an early startup employee. Helped a US startup setup their development center in Bangalore and ran it efficiently for 6 years. I have been a full-stack developer occasionally but would like to call myself Backend Architect with a large amount of DevOps experience.
While not an API with multiple translations, there are sophisticated desktop software packages like "Accordance Bible" (https://www.accordancebible.com/) that will let one view any chosen, supported, English translation side-by-side with the original language (usually Hebrew or Greek) for that same passage. The software also will follow quasi-word-for-word the text your cursor hovers in one view to the analog in the other view it's translated from or to. This shows there's been considerable effort in mapping the translations and original languages back and forth and making them easily accessible.

For an example of a direct use of this feature, reference Chris Roseborough's "Fighting for the Faith" YouTube series where he often uses this feature of Accordance Bible, along with his knowledge of the original languages and the built-in original-language dictionaries and thesaurus to analyze heretical or erroneous interpretations and applications of biblical text made by what he deems the myriad "false teachers" in current "evangelical" preacher-dom. For example of use of this particular word-for-word feature look at the video shortly after https://youtu.be/tFeF04F8Tf8?t=828 (a critique of Joel Osteen's "prosperity preaching"). At around 14:01 in the video you'll start seeing the Greek text analogs highlight as the cursor drifts around the English text. In this section of the video he's not explicitly using the feature, but he often does ... hmmm, at around 16:30 or so he does, showing the original text for "I AM" and "do not be afraid."

In any case, there's been much work in software such as "Accordance Bible" and others to make "translation mapping" more apparent, and to expose any "translation issues" ... this necessarily would require the user to be very familiar with the original languages.

Chris Roseborough himself is very conservative (young-earth creationist; women should not be pastors; ... etc., many views that would not be popular). The most frequent targets of his criticism are those who preach "prosperity gospel" (e.g. Joel Osteen); those who believe apostles and prophets still exist and can write "scripture" today with as much authority as the original Hebrew and Greek texts (e.g., New Apostolic Reformation / NAR / Bethel / Hillsong); those who believe they can "decree and declare" God to steer hurricanes, heal people of their sicknesses (I don't think C.R. would object to the possibility of healing, just that there are no guarantees this side of eternity and God's purpose isn't to alleviate all suffering here and now), cause career success and wealth, and that believe if you aren't blessed you don't have enough faith.

You may disagree with me, but there's really no need to be patronizing about it. I will conduct my private life as I see fit, thank you.
No, I'm talking about individual units of issued currency (e.g., physical bills in the simplest case) losing nominal value, which can be done while the underlying currency is gaining real value (in deflation).

Yes, obviously you can avoid deflation by creating enough money that you instead have inflation, but I'm talking about having a monetary system that avoids some of the negative incentives of deflation even when it occurs.
> I don't quite understand the issue with aspect ratio. I know there isn't a way to define it well yet, but people have been building websites for almost 30 years without a way to specify it, and now all of a sudden everyone claims to need it. It's weird.

A few things to consider:

1. Many of the writings are letters, and therefore short.

2. Many of the writings, though grouped together by books, their chapters really are often distinct documents written at different times. (some are even historical logs like Kings and Chronicles)

3. There are _many_ sections that really do break down by lines and sections. The best examples are Proverbs and Psalms.

4. It's a huge document, and much of it is useful to reference later, and having a system in place for this (of any kind) is helpful for many reasons.

Last, I agree with your general sentiment.

The first time I read sections of the bible without the artificial breaks and numbers getting in the way gave me a completely different perspective on the _content_. So I make a point to read like this when I feel the numbers may be in the way of comprehension.

This is not correct; you are conflating FaceTime and iMessage.

If you insert your SIM in an iPhone or iPad, then yes your number will be registered for iMessage and all iOS users will default to iMessaging you.

You cannot FaceTime to or from your phone number without your SIM being inserted in the device. In the absence of this, you can FaceTime just fine using your Apple ID as the identifier.
The 'skateboard' really isn't a new idea, it's the early motoring era approach where you bought the rolling chassis from a chassis manufacturer and then hired a coachbuilder to design and build suitably elegant bodywork to your personal specification on top.

Then we got vertically integrated mass production which cost less and built cars which handled a lot better as they'd been designed as a unit with bodywork and chassis having complementary characteristics. "I wish my sports car also had the ability to handle like a family car or a commercial vehicle if you slapped the right bodywork on," said no modern driver ever.

Calling it a skateboard (bah! so twentieth century) doesn't change the fact it's the nineteenth century approach to doing things....
Yeah, maybe. Probably. I'm just not a fan of this kind of stuff shrug.

I also don't like "God save the Queen" by the way, or "God be with us" (short for "If God is with us, who shall be against us?" from Romans) we have on the Dutch Euro coins :-)

There are other democracies besides the US, and they're all doing fine in general. Our PM recently pointed out in a speech [1], that maybe the US couldn't beat them alone, but Aus, Japan, Phillipines, India, Indonesia, Korea and the US could probably have a good shot at it, all countries China is picking fights with, not that I think its likely, just saber rattling - there's no profit for China in a war, just loss of customers.

The grandparent just talked about atrocities in the Bible not specifically about Jesus. Jesus just condoned these things, but didn't kill anybody personally. (Unless you believe Jesus = God.)

The worst thing Jesus did was saying you didn't have to wash your hands before eating, which have probably killed millions of innocent people due to diseases and infections. But I'm sure he did this only out of ignorance and not malice.

Issue is that water has 2 hydrogens and methane has 4, so typically it is produced by using methane.

It’s not really about that, we don’t lack water or methane. The issue is rather about the energy required to produce given amount of hydrogen. Electrolysis requires 2-3 as much energy as steam methane reforming already if you just look at energy of chemical reactions, and moreover, steam reforming requires just heat, while electrolysis requires electricity, which again is more expensive than heat: we produce most of our electricity from heat, and the conversion efficiency from heat to electricity is around 20-30%, so it makes more sense to use all the heat directly instead of going through electricity production stage.
I sometimes entertain a fantasy where I have a car for which I pull out 75% of the batteries and leave them in the garage for my daily commute. Then for a trip to grandma's, I put them in. Along with the range extender. Oh, and the range extender is just plug-and-play; I can swap in a Honda, or a Briggs and Stratton, or whichever. It could be gas or hydrogen or nuke. Most of the time it just sits under a bench in the garage.

This fantasy highlights some of the absurdity of modularity. A car with only 1/4 the batteries and no generator will handle completely differently. It would really be a different car. But "reconfigured" in less than an hour by a complete luddite.

And, "nuke"? Really?

Why not imagine the owner could just snap in and out between 2wd and 4wd drive trains? Choose to insert one electric motor or two (or four?) depending on the day?

What could possibly go wrong?

Still, it's fun to fantasize. And maybe some of it could make sense. Like unplugging the driver controls and just moving them over to the left or right seat and plugging them back in. Wait... what?

When bisecting to find the cause of a bug it's usually important to me to understand why a change was made. That's sometimes hard to describe in a comment (especially if you're removing lines). The commit message should tell me the why of the change, and link to background information like email threads and the bug tracker. That's the why of the change, the why of the code itself can go in a comment.

Regardless of journalistic coverage it is still Apple suing for trademark infringement on parts that should not have been trademarked in the first place. So they are simply using trademark law as a weapon knowing full well that this was their intended use from day #1. Apple doesn't like 3rd party repairs of your devices, somehow they still feel that even if they sell you something they are owed a piece of the action for every bit of hardware that goes into it post sale.

Corinthians is not part of the old testament so I'm afraid its versing might not be per the union standards.

It is currently versed as:

Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom.

But we preach Christ crucified - A stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.

But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Which seems like three complete sentences forming a paragraph to me even if not to any modern style guide.

Alternatively it could have been:

Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom - but we preach [the words of] Christ crucified !

A stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.

But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

In both cases the logical structure remains the same and the three sentences form a larger idea.
Yeah you have to hold the back button in safari and choose the last page of you don’t open in a new window. I hate sites that jack your back button like that.

I tried to make the test realistic. Agreed that in a benchmark where the string is the same every time the length could be hard coded but in a real world scenario the length of a string is not known until you get the length.

As for the length of the test, I also tried with 10 times the number of iterations with the same results but then the simbbench takes almost a minute to complete. I figured 5 seconds was good enough to get the results and someone can bump up the iterations if they want to.

Yet, it is also not very difficult to specify how it should properly work.

Should a footer align to the bottom of the content or the viewport or should it be sticky? Should I be able to continue content after the footer? What happens if I have a second footer element? Should the footer create a new section in the document outline? Should it display inline or as a block element? What should be the default behaviour if I print a page with a footer? Is the footer of a document the same as a footer on a website, and is that the same as the footer on a web app?

These are easy questions I can think of in 30 seconds. No doubt there are some much more complex issues too. The idea that defining a footer element for HTML is easy is nonsense.

As it is, HTML5 has had a <footer> tag for years, and it doesn't do what a document footer does. HTML5 added <header>, <main>, <section>, <aside> and more. None of them do what TeX does.
