You'd need a lot of exit ramps going up though, and it would be pretty tricky for emergency services to reach the places they need to go to. Personally I'm a big fan of reducing through traffic as much as possible and banning vehicles other than for the disabled and emergency services from city cores.

Can you provide any historical primary sources that show that it was widely used like this before it gained it's current meaning over 20 years ago?
The median salary in the US midwest is probably equal to my country, and cost of living definitely lower. I don't know your personal situation, but if you're interested and not already familiar with it, you should check out some of the financial independence bloggers such as Mr Money Mustache. There are people with median or below incomes saving 50% or more, although it's of course more difficult than if you have a cushy tech salary.

Based on what? The relevant folks and decision makers are already talking, so it doesn’t sound like they think there’s a need to wait 20 years to at least start the conversation.
>I keep seeing this narrative, that shaming is the most effective strategy

I never said it's the most effective strategy. I said, it's more effective than just talking.

>If shaming works, when why hasn't it worked yet? Where are the results?

As far as i'm concerned, this question is like someone doubting the existence of gravity. The effects of shaming is all around us.

Fashion is an industry that built its foundations on shaming. Kids are shamed into buying iphones, and designer shoes. Millions of kids are being shamed into early sex (ashamed of being virgins), and trying out drugs to be deemed COOL.

For programmers - PHP programmers are being shamed right here on HN.

When Google and other high profile companies do something really stupid like locking someone's account unjustly or some new policy, Twitter and Hacker news use shaming to get these guys to speedily reverse course.

>The video of George Floyd is powerful because it shows us the truth.

Isn't the video in question is an example of shaming - the police?

Why do you think police, FBI and the rest works hard to bar public access to ALL their activities?
Hi everyone, creator of Astrofox here. This has been a side project of mine for several years now and I've just shipped it. Astrofox is a motion graphics app that lets you create custom music visualizations that you can then save to video. It's similar to Adobe After Effects except everything is done in real-time and is focused primarily on music visualization. Some of the tech used is React, Redux, Three.js, WebGL, GLSL, and Electron. Let me know your thoughts. I hope you find it useful.
I believe downvoting is a far bigger problem.

The term "undeserved downvote" can't even exist, as the guidelines state that downvoting for mere disagreement is acceptable. But, what is that if not censorship and promoting groupthink?

If one disagrees, then why not encourage them to engage and explain vs submarining the comment with which they disagree? And, if content is unacceptable for some other reason, then flagging is still available.
They say here[0]:
We are currently paying near the 10,000€ mark per month and our revenue streams are at 1,500€.

The infrastructure and micro-services of soup became more and more complex over the years and the amount of data is huge, really huge. To serve nearly 6 million users is a resource-intensive duty.

This is also the reason why we dropped the idea of open-sourcing soup. It's too complex to maintain and to hand-over.

Hard to know where the $ are exactly going, but $11k/month will buy you a lot of server. Sounds like maybe just wasn't worth it given the revenue but I've got to believe it could be rearchitected so at least the hosting portion was profitable.

@pmoriarty There is little to choose between Republican and Democrat politics in the US, they are both merely flavors of neoliberalism/neocon policies as @mola identifies.
There are other branches of the left and right but they are suppressed, ignored or slandered in the corporate media.
Silicon valley corporate political allegiances are a good example of neoliberalism, currently wrapped in identity politics

Two things drive me:

Gradle. I appreciate that it is a fast build system, and a lot of it does just work. When it doesn't just work it's a nightmare. The config language is completely opaque and undiscoverable (Kotlin might fix this, but I ran out of patience to understand how Gradle works a while ago) though.

In many respects I think the fact there's a commercial version of it is a sign that it's lacking in the UX area.
The discussions indeed look harsh.

But as for the idle inhibiting API, there is some (slow) progress in the form of two MRs. And they weren't closed outright, some code review took place instead:

Most Romanian drivers would be bankrupt within a day or so.
Isn't that inherent because Docker needs a Linux kernel, so running it on Darwin has a hard requirement on virtualization and running an entire guest operating system?
Note: iOS apps compiled for Intel. iOS apps on Mac will be that they will be pretty much transparent, like Rosetta is claimed to be. You get them from the App Store and can launch them like any other app.
Commercial but free for private usage, I really like AnyDesk. Remote desktop through firewalls and NATted networks. I use it to remote control a Mac and a Windows machine, from a Mac. Haven't tried it with Linux yet.
Google Chat for our teams internal slack replacement.
It’s an extremely valuable solution to a very real problem. Surely you must have tried Google Docs? The “mboo” is an indication that the two editors have different ideas about where they’re going. In a typical setup both editors will see that someone else has their cursor in the same place in the document, and they will very quickly see that a conflict has happened. Now they can coordinate on how to resolve it. It’s not a problem, but a desirable step in the process of two people working together on something that isn’t finished.
Of course you should use whatever works best for you, but I disagree with your characterization of Linux users as masochists at heart.

I’m very much a person who values technology that “just works”. While my latest Ubuntu installation admittedly wasn’t quite as smooth as running macOS on Apple hardware, the gap has narrowed considerably. Especially for anyone who already possesses a fair amount of Linux experience from working with servers for work, and who sticks with known-compatible hardware, running a Linux desktop can be a delight.
And I belieieve you. I designed my own on-disk log based format for my last two prorojects.
There are Intel NUCs these days that are tiny but run desktop (rather than mobile) CPUs. They're about a fifth the size of a typical eGPU box (or, slightly larger than a docked Nintendo Switch). This can work for the sort of filler needs you're describing - a bit more CPU or graphical oompf, a system to offload some tasks to (say, VMs, streaming/encoding) and putz around with Windows/games or a real local Linux install.
There's always going to be a lot of noise in dense areas. It doesn't even have to be a city. Any buildings with shared walls too.
If you’re looking for something with less boilerplate but still extensive extensibility, check out https://strickland.io. It also has no dependencies and is pure JavaScript.
I wondered how long it’d take for a snarky, overly critical comment. So you tried one route and by this anecdotal evidence you’ve deemed it a “Major fail”. No constructive criticism on how to improve the app, no positive comments on anything at all.

In other words, you’re a dick
Confluence by Atlassian.
It is very slow, it gets stuck with bigger documents, or has no useful editor tools (eg marker) and it constantly had issues and bugs. Sincerely Jira is another piece of crap.
I like to use Mailspring [https://getmailspring.com]. It does what it needs to do, without too much fuss. The UX is clear and I can connect multiple email accounts and use the unified inbox without any issue. I am in no way affiliated to the product.
I use minio elsewhere and it's been rock solid (altho it's for personal use, so only on a single node), so it would be my first choice for blob storage assuming it supports HA.
+ 1. While in a chat if I open a voice call with that person, it creates a new instance with the chat frame closed. If I want to navigate into a channel and open a file, if I go back to the discussion the file is closed, I need to navigate again. It should have multi-window, multi-tab capabilities.
There is a high likelyhood that ARM Macs will be a 'superset' of iPads going forward. That means at least some models will have touch screens/support apple pencil/be convertible form factor.

Like now, two ecosystems in one, but the other is iPad. I'd love a lightweight convertible Macbook, or an iPad Pro that is really an ARM Mac but can 'be' an iPad (w/16 Gigs of RAM) at any time.
Presumably they tried and failed.
Of course, the question is a false dichotomy.

Now is the perfect time to switch to something else entirely.

The Ryzen laptops with Linux are beasts and even Windows might be a good developer workstation with their Linux subsystem.

"It's so obvious I cannot point where the person said it".

The commenter in question both implicitly and explicitly has said that is not the premise.

I can only repeat what I said to the other person:

Atlassian's Confluence (Cloud). A showcase for the decline in web based software forced by the move to make everything a SPA. A terrible new editor experience. Slow JavaScript heavy page loads. No persisted markup editing.
Yeah, they fact check or block obvious parody tweets that are pro-conservative like the "racist baby" parody tweet a few weeks ago. They arbitrarily inject warning labels on Trump tweets while ignoring anti-cop tweets calling for violence and destruction (not just this year, going back to 2016 even [1]).

The head of Twitter's Head of Site Integrity had this to say about red states:

“I’m just saying,” he tweeted in November 2016, “we fly over those states that voted for a racist tangerine for a reason.”

It doesn't just lean left. It actively hates, demeans and silences the right.

It is common to get an external expert, or several, to comment on a story about science (or economics, criminology, accounting, farming, weather, software ... anything).

The subject is neurology, the interviewee is a neuroscientist, and so is probably more qualified to opine than you or I or the Reuters journalist who submitted copy.
Virtualization and even running a guest kernel and OS isn't 5x expensive on the CPU, so the problem is not virtualization per se.

Perhaps the problem is Darwin.

There's a lot of essential software that I would improve, but I wouldn't replace or rewrite:

- Nautilus. Serious usability/UX problems.

- Audio in linux. Ubuntu often selects the wrong audio devices (microphone, headphones, speakers)

- Linux sleep/hibernation. System hangs are common.

- GRUB. The interface is dated, why is it so ugly?
This. A lot of the responses in this thread seem to conflate git commands with the git idea. The idea, which is to model a tree of files as a set of objects that contain metadata pointing to content-addressable files, is a very good one. The commands are very bad.
Would you mind sharing the name of your town? Feel free to email me directly if you wish, contact details are in my profile. It could be that OpenStreetMap data (which I use extensively in the algorithm) isn't very detailed for your area, but I'm keen to investigate further.
Instead of using Cmd+V to paste, use Cmd+Option+V to cut from the original location and paste. I like it because it lets me postpone the decision to copy or cut until the very end :)
Or just a menu that lets them choose their language right there on the page somewhere. If you can automatically redirect someone based on their browser language, then you can add a menu with some language names and flag icons next to them too.

Either way, it must like rule 1 of UI design; even if you think you know better than your user does, let them override that choice when you get it wrong.

All of Google's Android apps, by far.
I plan on supporting third-party plugins soon so you or anyone else can come up with effects. I was never a fan of those kaleidoscope effects so that's why I didn't include it.
I think the real advantage of the app is the ability to layer scenes together. If you scroll to the bottom of the website you can see more examples of what you can do.
Thanks for the feedback.
What is it? The site makes no effort to explain what it is or did.
I work in "document capture" (OCR, data extraction, and process automation) and every ERP I've had to integrate with has been a terrible experience. I was on a screen share with a consultant for one trying to get my service about the correct permissions and he was scrolling through a list of, what seemed like, two hundred possible roles. Let's not even talk about the atrocity that is their rest API, but at least they have an API as many don't and require RPA (ewww) or similar to input data.

The Mental Toll of Covid-19, and the Doctor Who Saw It Coming
The debate and acceptable forms of discussion are so far "left" these days that it's hard to see it and point to concrete examples of it.

E.g. look at /r/politics (or most popular default sub-reddits) on Reddit. It's ridiculously anti-conservative and anti-Trump, yet it's being portrayed as impartial and just "politics", when in fact it's a huge pro-left section of Reddit that is unfairly given front-page preference and backing. No right-leaning sub gets that, and in fact gets the opposite treatment such as /r/the_donald. One could say that the left-leaning individuals and groups are gaming the system and what we're seeing is a consequence of that.
Python might have changed since this was written, but on my machine, with any number, it finishes in 0.0s!

My understanding was that to access a variable, python does a dictionary lookup to match the name to a memory location, which would explain what happens with an older python.
Effect size matters.
The puerperal fever that was killing the women laboring in the delivery room was caused by doctors doing autopsies beforehand. The doctors would bring bacteria back to the delivery room on their unwashed hands which then infected the women with group A streptococcus (GAS).
Agreed on Bash. It was awesome when I first started using it, but the quirky syntax and pain to configure for anything complex really annoyed me. xonsh is a lot nicer, albeit not as featureful.

Did not know Powershell was now cross platform. Never learned it, but everyone I know who knows both Powershell and the usual UNIX shells prefers Powershell.
In case this helps, my Android Auto went through an infuriating phase where it refused to connect, and my cars screen would continue to say exactly what yours said. For about two weeks I was incredibly frustrated, until I discovered that I just had to clean out my phones charging port with a toothpick and it immediately began working again. The dust and debris from repeated connection and disconnection had piled up and prevented certain data pins from connecting, but once removed, it worked like brand new. I now clean out my phone’s charging port every month and haven’t run into the issue again. I was relieved that the issue was this simple to fix, and hope yours is too.
It is a best case scenario when you can build the entire app in React without any native code. I’ve been charged with building a large Swift framework for a React Native app, and key bugs were nearly insoluble.
Well, of course. Rust is not designed around immutable data structures. There are going to be differences because it's simply not the same language. This [0] example, written by a notable Haskeller, illustrates what I mean pretty well and also touches on what you just pointed out. It's also very consistent with my own experience.

> That is, the need to be (have been) "right" is a great motivation for people to cling on stubbornly to false notions.

yes... i think this boils down to basically the difference of "being right" vs "doing the right thing"
Or perhaps since the article is about the us, I simply assumed we were talking about the us. I also often hear that (us) cb has this allowed when in reality it's not, so I simply wanted to clarify.

If we want to nitpick, it's pointless to talk about cb outside the context of a country. The frequency ranges, power, and allowed modulation are all different. You can do any modulation you want at a cb frequency, whether that's allowed is entirely specific to the country.

I have a hard time accepting that had they placed cabbage or broccoli (or other unpopular items) at the head of the offerings, it would still be taken so often.
Yes, what’s your point? There is no “effect size” here, because the sample pool is biased. This isn’t a case control study.

A group of doctors said they saw patients with X and Y, and that Y is somewhat rare. At best, this is suggestive that a proper study is required — which is exactly what they say when quoted in the reuters story.

And to add on, the recompiled code is thrown away when it does sketchy things like JIT or rewriting itself. So it should be able to avoid many of the bugs you might encounter in that area by just emulating complicated bits.

Android. Truly horrible platform where I cannot even find a clock app that just works. I mean there is one shipped with a phone, but it has inconvenient timer and I do not like how time selection is done -- a lots of movements to scroll numbers to find one I need, -- but I cannot configure it to my convenience and I cannot find another clock app that works.

And all this "Google phone wants to have an access to calendar" after each call. I do not know why it needs an access to calendar, I'm not going to give it one, so just stop pecking me. But it will never stop, it seems.

And a lots of useless stuff I cannot delete. I stopped it from popping up with stupid messages, but I cannot delete them. It seems that I will be forced to replace Android with PostmarketOS.
It’s just germs in general. Autopsies on infected cadavers were leaving germs on the doctors’ hands that would then spread to other patients, so in this particular case the elevated rate is tied to the cadavers, but it’s not cadaverous particles specifically.
I'm aware of the convenience of cloud, and I've been using both Azure and AWS for some years - it's very true that it can save you a lot of time and headache. I love working with Azure in particular.

But it's also very true that it's expensive - compute and bandwidth costs elsewhere are a fraction of the cost. Fact is, we're just 2 blokes bootstrapping a new small business with no guarantee of success - no VC funding or massive AWS credit here! Given the current climate, it's also risky timing to spend a small fortune on cloud every month.

And on the Postgres side, it would be wonderful to have full control over extensions (we really kind of need this).
