Great concept. Looking forward to seeing the community it forms.
I don't get this impression from reading HN. I think how you interpret what you read can sometimes say much more about you than you might think!

That said, in hacker news (like other social communities) people share the good parts and what they want to be recognized for. It is like believing that someone`s life is full of glory because they say so in Instagram or Facebook.
I was working on that around 2015 if I remember well. Some time after Xilinx was unifying their development tools into Vivado. The project attempted to use Zynq SoC, joint software and hardware development on the FPGA in HDL and on the embedded CPU in C. Not exactly trivial things to do but the scope was very small for a first go.

We found zero documentation whatsoever on the internet. None of the things you linked to existed. Looks like it took 5 years for some tutorials to be written, and it's not even from Xilinx, it's from some guy sharing on GitHub (maybe a university).

Interns were not to blame, more experienced engineers couldn't figure a thing and there was a 3 months deadline. If it were not for one employee who tried the Zynq platform 6 months before and was trained by Xilinx, the whole thing would surely have been canned.

There was lots of issues with the platform and the IDE once got a hello world working (I really hope Xilinx fixed most of them). Basic APIs were not working or were documented wrong, the compiler had issues (modified gcc under a modified eclipse), the IDE occasionally crashed or got stuck (it called a ton of sub processes that got lost or failed).

The SoC IO pins were undocumented (needed info and identifier to do the routing), had to get private doc from Xilinx and they had typo in their pin layouts, so there was a constant risk to misconfigure a pin and fry the board (FPGA don't forgive mixing up input and output and voltage).

Now that I remember about it. The whole thing was pretty insane. ^^

My only question if I had to work on this again would be, does vivado support Git/SVN nowadays?
ProcMon Windows (the software we're talking about here)?
I think the OP meant general "market", not the "concrete product X". Hence the decision has not yet been made.
Glitching graphics are annoying obviously, but as someone who uses macOS, Ubuntu (Gnome) and Win 10 all quite a bit, I find small UI inconsistencies to be extremely frustrating in both Win 10 and Ubuntu. On macOS, it's 90% likely (not perfect even there) that cmd-w will close a window, and cmd-q will quit an application. On the other two, nothing is certain - I guess alt-F4 on Win 10 is fairly reliable, but an awkward combo, on Ubuntu, it's pretty much different for everything. Personally I'd prefer if the OS enforced that, and required devs to do extra work to change the standard open-close-quit keybindings.
Me? No. I pity the person who was trying though.
No hate at all. When you call someone journalistic you expect them to be independent. I worked as journalist and nobody would dare to call them journalists.

Bellingcat is only doing MI6 propaganda work, so you need to be critical.
No, I'd say it boils down to ads being a bad way to discover products you are interested in. I love sites like thewirecutter or similar for getting actual recommendations, when I want to seek something out. Randomly getting products recommended in a drive-by fashion as I surf around the internet doesn't work, but even if it did work, it's neither the format nor timing in which I'd ever want to receive these recommendations anyway.

Alternative startups aren't great investments - even on the index level, because of the large number of corporate failures that happen.

Solar might win, but that mean the companies that make it will be part of the index you invest in.

Looks like BaFin was not merely incompetent but actively malfeasant. People were apparently wrongly convicted due to their good-faith efforts to expose the fraud.

BaFin’s role includes ensuring that listed companies abide by securities law, for instance by communicating truthfully with their shareholders. But BaFin didn’t look into the lawsuit’s allegations against Wirecard because there was no evidence the company had provided misleading information, the spokeswoman said.

Instead, BaFin opened a probe into the accusers. Wirecard had filed a complaint with the agency and the Munich prosecutor after the suit caused its stock to slump. Two former officials of the small shareholders’ association were charged, convicted of market manipulation and handed suspended prison sentences.

Are these folks going to have their names cleared now?
Instacart Says Uber Stole Its Product Images and Descriptions, Files Lawsuit
I find that Economist articles about things I don't know much about are great. But the more I know about the topic, the less I think of the article.

It isn't just the spin; sometimes you can guess whom they were talking to and whom they weren't by how wrong and they way they get something wrong.
In my experience this isn't that much better from a discomfort perspective, because (I would guess -- not an expert on physiology) the lower available oxygen in the lungs also leads to a more rapid increase in blood CO2. It might be a bit better depending on your particular body though, so yes it's worth trying both out.

Actually I just tried it and yeah for me at least the full-lungs version is obviously longer but takes less discomfort for my SpO2 to start to drop (like well before contractions start), whereas on exhale I get more discomfort (around 15s before contractions) before a similar drop.

What astounds me is not only have they not apologized, they haven't even done a back-page, quiet retraction. They still present the story as if it's "News".
I could imagine a browser plugin which tells you if a company shares data with facebook (and other ad networks) before you sign up, make a purchase, etc. It could have crowdsourced data based upon these kinds of requests.

I've wanted for some time to see a couple of variations of things like the Fair Tax Mark (https://fairtaxmark.net/ - a cert that a company isn't using tax evasion tactics), especially one for privacy. FTM is trademarked and therefore able to police its logo's usage, a Privacy Mark could do the same, and enhance the market for privacy respecting services.

Maybe it is time to start on efforts like these. Who'd be interested?
Global CO2 Emissions in 2019
A lot of good writing advice in this memo:

The key person to think about is the reader.

People generally read only one screen and SELDOM read more than two screens. (A screen typically is around 300 words.)

A long story on a complicated topic can save readers time if it replaces the need to read a lot of short ones.

Readers either want to have a quick piece of information or something that justifies the longer read.

A good rule of thumb is that stories should either be shorter than 400 words or longer than 900.

Taking 700 words or 800 words to make a single point will just annoy readers.

Keep it short. Think of the reader.
No but if your a teacher or live with kids it is a scary figure.
QE infinity? QE tends to lead to asset inflation. Given that the dollar is depreciating, I'd say we are seeing a real reduction in housing costs but not (yet?) a nominal one.
The data is in the article: housing starts are up from April, but still lower than Feb when this started. You are probably right, that these are mostly projects that were already in the pipeline. But that they are restarting is interesting data.

Housing starts increased 17.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.186 million units last month, the Commerce Department said. The percentage gain was the largest since October 2016. Data for May was revised up to a 1.011 million-unit pace from the previously reported 974,000.

Still, homebuilding remains 24.3% below its February level. The South and the West accounted for about 75% of housing starts last month. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast starts increasing to a rate of 1.169 million units.

Bad code doesn't tend to slip through at Google because the review process is pretty intense.

Bad design does, though, because it's easy to get lost in the weeds of incremental small code reviews.
They should have been sued, and not from a being petty perspective. Libel laws are a huge part of what keeps the media trustworthy.

Varicella-zoster virus (chickenpox/shingles), while it does create latent infections, is not a retrovirus. Retroviruses like HIV actually insert a copy of the viral genome into the host cell's DNA. VZV and other herpesviruses have a different latency mechanism[1] than retroviruses. SARS-CoV-2 probably does not cause latent infections, but could potentially cause a chronic infection similar to other RNA viruses like Hepatitis C. I would suspect it probably doesn't, but it is certainly possible.

If targeted ads are no better, and maybe even worse, than untargeted ads, that doesn't imply you need more targeting. Maybe it implies targeting doesn't work (at least for the purpose of providing ads the user wants to see).

I prefer contextual ads, ie. related to what I'm currently looking at, not what my ad profile thinks my personality is based on something unrelated I did on another device last week.
Right, but if you read the article, they are asymptomatic with signs of lung damage and probably neurological damage as well from other studies on covid coming out from multiple sources. They are going to suffer long term consequences from Florida's general ignorance. There is no treatment yet, but if your child isn't infected and you have the means, then you should leave Florida and go to a state where they are smarter about social distancing and safety.
Max's answer to the InfoQ interview[1] question "What is the most terrible code that you ever encountered, and what was your approach to refactoring it?" may be relevant.

In his book "Code Simplicity", Max has a checklist (summarized in point 4 of https://techbeacon.com/app-dev-testing/rewrites-vs-refactori...) -- and that's the checklist referred to in the InfoQ interview.

This is the most HN post of the entire thread. Classic tone of pessimism combined with an underlying ostracization of his countrymen, while ironically completely ignoring purchasing trends and innovations (EVs, renewable energy).

Indie game dev is one of the hardest programming there is. Doing web dev feels like child's play in comparison.

The sheer amount of work that goes into making a game or did before things like unity came into picture. I remember reading super long articles on NeHe just to detect collision between two items. On top of that you need amazing graphics and a good story plus your usual marketing to sell.

Also gamers are usually the most vocal critics of your work (they either love it or hate it). It's just amazing that so many new indie games are released.

>But the more I know about the topic, the less I think of the article.

Gell-Mann Amnesia, as Michael Crichton put it:

"Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know."

Do you really really really want to have a side project?

As someone who works a full time job that I love but drains me, I need to be really motivated about something and curious about it to work outside hours!

Right now for me it is Java+Spring and Golang, I did some contributions to big OSS projects (mind you, the contributions were very minor. Like typo in docstrings). And am also doing a small side project (mind you, I got the springboot crud tutorial to run with my POJOs and bought a domain!)

If for some reason it becomes an energy drag I will drop it. I have already dropped more than 20 domains of side projects and that's OK. I will playing video games for a while or watching netflix.

If I am not getting paid to do it then I really have to enjoy it! I usually scratch an itch for a while and then give up, maybe when it happens that I don't give up in one idea of side project is because I truly enjoy it and it can become a full time thing to me!
No, some of the data could be sent via the company's back end.
If the number of 30% infected children is true, it most of all means, that there is a huge number of infected adults and a large death toll is to be infected. Herd immunity (if there is such a thing with Covid-19) would be great, but the huge problem with that concept is, it can be achieved only by an enormous amounts of deaths, which are preventable.

I was a subscriber back in 2008-10 and then again from 2016-17. I found it odd that somewhere in the middle, they seemingly stopped (or slowed down) doing the special reports that were a deep dive on a big topic. Those were always my favorite parts of new editions.
Most ads are related to previous searches or visits on the web. I once searched for a new car mirror - now I get car parts ads everywhere. Wouldn‘t it be smarter to have context-dependent ads? If I‘m reading a blog on hexagonal architecture, wouldn‘t I be interested in books on that and related topics? Those kinds of ads would not necessitate tracking.
Or anything for that matter with a non auto `width` other then `100%`.
Promoting the work of your own reports is legitimate manager behavior. But when that takes the form of ignoring or minimizing other people's teams efforts in a project, it leads to inequity.

In any case teams are ideas... organizational structures, but shipped projects are real things. If the needs/desires of the organizational structure consistently take precedence over the actual needs involved in shipping product, the company is in trouble.

Multiple times in the last few years I've worked on projects that were in direct stated or unstated competition and in parallel development with other projects from different teams, but with the same feature set and target market but different technology stacks and organizational structures. I don't like this, at all.

I hate to admit it, as someone who previously lived with a friend who took mental health nose-dive and ended up a conspiracy theory nut, the practical side of my mind leads me to support this kind of theory. Of course, we'll never know for sure, but how many PA's have cartel hit man level knowledge of disposing a body?

The thought that someone would kill someone with this level of professionalism without external leverage is questionable. Especially since only tens of thousands of dollars was involved in the alleged strife. If I were looking for a perfect fall-guy, this is a home run of a way to knock someone off and then have a "lovers revenge" type cover sweep everything out of the limelight.

> I hope we still live in a world where "have fallback measures in case other people are going to murder you" doesn't need to be at the top of our contingency planning. Obviously it was here, and that's tragic, but I think and hope that most of us shouldn't need to learn to anticipate this as a likely, or even plausible, response.

Sure, if you only consider murder, then it's unlikely (in America at least). But this same pattern happens for lesser things. Someone hits your car, and says "can we just settle this privately, I don't want my premium to go up", and you agree out of kindness, and a few days later you get a letter saying that they're making a claim against your insurance. You've missed your chance to get yourself on record as the victim.

In this case, or similar cases, the guy might have done other things like accuse him of blackmail, or accuse him of being involved in the crime etc.

Notwithstanding the risk of being compelled to testify, I would still take the route I mentioned above (report it but refuse to cooperate any further). I'd be surprised if the prosecutor decided to press ahead and grant you immunity to make you testify if you're not willing. You could retract your statement, which would signify that they cannot predict what you'll say at trial. Much more likely they'd just drop the case if the victim is unwilling...but I'm not a lawyer, I could be wrong.

People aren't buying Glocks because they're hunting in their spare time. The shelves aren't empty of .223/5.56 ball ammo because it's coming up on deer season. In fact, I was at a Cabela's a couple of weeks ago and the only ammo they had were hunting rounds (and nothing in 5.56/.223 or 7.62x51/.308, not to mention handgun cartridges)

There are three main reasons this is happening: the possibility Biden will win, the canoe effect, and — this is the big one — looting, arson, violent crime, property crime, and societal unrest combined with calls to defund the police.

People are realizing that you cannot rely upon the police now or in the future to save the day (TBH, you never could) and arming themselves as a result. There are also people on the left who are armed to protect themselves from the far-right, and PoC who want to effectively protect themselves against racist aggressors.
