I agree. I don't think your point is pedantic, although I think calling GitHub a "hosting service" downplays some major features that GitHub has. For me the big one is code reviews (via pull requests), but it also has GitHub Issues and GitHub Actions, amongst other things.

So when someone says they're migrating "from Mercurial to GitHub", I'm left wondering: what were they previously using for code reviews, issue tracking, etc?

From the article:

> OpenJDK has used the Mercurial source code management solution since 2008 to store source code and conduct code reviews

This doesn't make sense. Mercurial doesn't provide a code review feature, and neither does Git. So what do they currently use for code reviews?

I had to dig in to the site a bit, but the workflow is described in https://openjdk.java.net/guide/codeReview.html. It looks like they use a (Korn!) shell script called "webrev" that will "generate a set of web pages to display the differences", and they then scp over the static html files to a shared public web server. Here's an example I pulled out of their Atom feed: https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pbansal/8249548/webrev00/. It's not really clear to me how they comment on each others' diffs, but I guess this must be done out-of-band (maybe via email, chat or walking over to their desk).

It really feels like Git is a relatively small part of the migration. Mercurial and Git support more-or-less the same set of features, and neither one is really much better than the other (tbh I like Mercurial slightly better). Moving to GitHub as a code review tool (and possibly other things too) is going to have a much larger impact on the developer workflow than the version control tool.
A new class of magnet that exhibits novel quantum effects
Hi,

Looks nifty. Is there a way to enter source code(programming) in the editor? I cant find it. The thing I can find is how to enter formula, but that is not what I'm looking for.
I'm not sure if I'd call the latter much of a "datapack" in the first place ;p
because while yes, technically it is, I don't think it's that much of an improvement over the "x in only one command (which summons lots of other command blocks)"
maybe someday specific terms will emerge for the types...

Big caveat that I’ve never seriously tried using it, but my perspective is that GNUCash and GNU Ledger have different target audiences. The way I think of it is (Cash is to LibreOffice) as (Ledger is to some combination of Vim and SQLite).

Cash aims to replace non-free accounting software, Ledger is both a file format and a general purpose tool for parsing and transforming that file format, that is designed for accounting but can be used to drive a wide variety of applications.
Meh.. I find it difficult to care too much on a site whose population regularly fawn over a billionaire who stands to make billions more, largely due to booking sale of taxpayer-funded carbon credits to his company's most recent quarterly earnings as profit.

People around the world have different value systems and tolerances. For me it's impossible to consider state-funded excesses of the church without drawing comparisons to the likes of Musk. As for their relative social benefit, that's another topic entirely..
Hadn't heard of CodeBerg. How does it compare against SourceHut?
I set these kinds of tools up to the highest level possible. In my opinion that is where you get the highest value from them.

Ask HN: Starting a business without a bank account
What would you do if you wanted to start a SaaS project, but:
- No proof of address, and possibly lack of ID documents
- No bank account, or untrustworthy local banks
- Stripe and PayPal have blacklisted your country.

I'm curious if there are good solutions to this. I've heard of Stripe Atlas, but it's a little pricey as an upfront fee, and I'm not sure it solves everything one would need.

Would you lean on a friend somewhere first world to run things for you? Start accepting payment through something like fastspring and worry about payout options later? Incorporate somewhere weird?

I'm hoping to find a reasonable path that I can recommend to entrepreneurs (and potentially try myself, if I can find time for a side project).
> Religious practice is fine but withholding a secular education from children or ditching modern medicine, or attacking the rights of women or exercising corporal punishment isn't.

Fair enough. That’s not what I thought you meant by “keeping religious orgs in line with state secular views” or whatever. Even still, you don’t need state control over religion to achieve those ends, and indeed in the US where the state is constitutionally prohibited from interfering with religion, these things aren’t problems (at least not to any reasonable interpretations).

The same thing happened to my domain name about a month ago. (I also posted about it here.) This is happening more and more frequently, and the fact they block entire domains rather than a specific subdomain is really poor design.

I finally got it unblocked, but only thanks to a former colleague (engineer) who now works at Facebook. If that didn't work, my next step was going to be filing a lawsuit, just to try to get their attention.

A summary from spending a month trying to get this fixed:

1. The "Report" link doesn't actually do anything, or if it does, you have to get loads of people reporting to surface it to a human.

2. The best resolution may be through Ads billing, by trying to post an ad and reporting a problem displaying an ad.

3. This affects a lot more than just blocking links. It also affects messages in private DMs (including from a Facebook for Business inbox), links on Instagram, any Facebook APIs you may be using, and even getting password reset emails to that domain.

That is true, but the word "reasonable" is significant. Taking reasonable steps to confirm a data subject's claimed identity is fair and necessary. Giving them the run around and hiding behind that verification obligation as an excuse is not.

I’m dismissing the book as pure speculation and horseshit, because it is. Charles Manson used tactics that have been used to control people throughout history: fear, abuse, intimidation, isolation from society, and violence. He’s not the first or last person to develop a cult of personality.

Dave Rogenmoser is the founder and CEO of Proof (YC W18).

Proof is an embedded script for displaying public conversion data (i.e. John from SF just subscribed).

Martech companies like these guys are infamous for injecting their own Facebook pixels for personal use. My guess is that at some point you visited a site with Proof embedded and for whatever reason it fired a tracking pixel assigned to Proof (and not the site you were on). Alternatively, and less ethically, he uploaded a list of customers scraped from Proof to build his own audience. Proof garners data about purchases, so it's possible Dave determined you were an advantageous lead and added you to his list.
I think it's fair to say there can be more than one reason to why things happen.

Rockets use liquid hydrogen, which is a pain to work with, but not too bad if you can fuel up and launch relatively quickly before too much boils off. The real reason rockets use hydrogen is because Hydrogen and Oxygen gives the highest specific impulse of any chemical rocket. You really don't care about specific impulse in a jet aircraft, and you really don't want the fuel boiling off before the end of your 12-hour flight.

Also, if you're thinking of pressurized gaseous hydrogen instead of liquid hydrogen, then the tanks get really heavy because high pressure tanks don't scale well (unlike low pressure liquid tanks which do). Hoop stress is proportional to diameter, which means tank wall thickness needs to grow with diameter too. https://www.engineersedge.com/material_science/hoop-stress.h...
True, but NZ has also learned it the hard way. There was once a vibrant birdlife in the South Island, especially. There is some early settler who said that the morning birdsong in Queenstown was deafening. Cats, introduced by European settlers, killed off a lot of the native birds, and the ecosystem is only recently hobbling back to normal (have done birdwatching in NZ).

If you are interested in bird conservation in NZ, please visit Karori park in Wellington and contribute.

BTW: some parks in US also have installed brushes to wipe your boots for preventing the transmission of invasive species seeds. I think there are a few in Wisconsin that I remember.
That's fair and I'm sorry. Still, we should demand better from these platforms, it's not enough
I feel like the fact that their very first sentence [1] has to say this:

> Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code.

is pretty good evidence they themselves are to blame for poorly picking the terminology. You can't really fault people for assuming words mean what they say and not going back to check the etymology. Consider it a special case of designing intuitive UIs. Which is something many pieces of software (especially open-source software...) don't do particularly spectacularly.

It's kinda like picking your site to be called "Hacker News" and then yelling at people for thinking that's where the hackers that broke into their computers got their news. The associated trouble and confusion is the price you decided to pay in exchange for picking a cool (but misleading) name.

About the memory model, for instance Wikipedia does a decent job (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS_memory_management). I think it's definitely necessary to understand the gist of what you're writing about and not simply give up because as you can't find it easily now with the whole Internet at your fingertips, then surely few did back then or it's not really important. That strikes me as a strange way to approach these topics tbh.

I don't understand the point about Windows 95 and VGA. The minimum requirements for Windows 95 included VGA, but no one inflicted such pain on themselves. By the time Windows 95 appeared, pretty much everybody got something like an S3 Trio and went with SVGA/XGA. I mean, try to use Word 95/97 with a 640x480 14" screen, it's cramped and you get less PPI than an early 90s $999 Macintosh Classic.

Technically if it expands and runs in a carbon dioxide surplus for long enough and they maintained it for as long as thr process was viable. But it is currently a facepalm worthy seriously bad extrapolation. Like looking at carbon nanotube production assuming extrapolating exponential growth rates indefinitely and concluding that there will be a serious carbon shortage when production rises so high that every year mass equivalent to entire world's biomass is produced.

> Waiting in the case of a reasonable savings fund of 100k for way over a month (10k every 4 days in the example I replied to) to be transferred sucks.

That 10k limit is for one shitty company. I don't have those limits because I don't use a shitty company. Does europe not have shitty companies? Different class of shitty, but weren't people unable to access their funds in wirecard because it essentially imploded due to fraud?

> It's not about the interest rates, rather a "peace of mind" thing. I am used to clicking a button in online banking and know that the recipient will have the money, and all of it, in maximum 2 banking days and I don't have to spend mental energy on tracking it, worrying about a physical check being held up or lost in postal service, the recipient taking his sweet time to cash the check...

Maybe other people are different, but I've never experienced a lack of "peace of mind" with any transfer. Every transfer I have done is instantaneous in that both the sending account and receiving account acknowledge the transfer and just put it in a pending status for a day and no transfer I have ever done has failed so whats the big deal?

> IBAN prevents this by having a two-digit checksum, that catches 99% of typos, number swaps and other entry errors. If you still manage to mess up, you have a ten day window for a recall. Direct debits can be reversed for eight weeks.

Interesting, not sure how that works but it does sound a lot nicer than the routing and account numbers we have here.

> Still using physical checks with all their downsides.

I have literally never written a check in my life. Granted, I know older people who still use them but I have no need for them whatsoever so who cares? I pay all my bills digitally and I can venmo friends cash digitally too.

> Direct debit being insecure to the point that someone getting your account data (or card swipe) can raid your bank account with the money being tied up for weeks (SEPA direct debit reversal is instantaneous and fully returns the funds).

I don't think I use that.

> CC "rewards" cost being placed on the merchants (thus raising the CC costs for all customers) instead of being capped like in the EU.

Credit card fees I can basically get entirely back through the reward with a single credit card. Could it be more fare with capped fees, sure and I'd support that policy. As a consumer, I don't care though.
It lacks search and has many bugs, I'm constantly reminded by those things that I'm not on GitHub.
The point of stoicism is not curbing of positive emotions, rather accepting negative emotions as fundamental, unavoidable part of life. From personal experience, stoicism is what worked for me. It helped me deal with anxiety.

Reminding yourself that something negative can happen might strengthen your control over your emotions.

Stoicism has never stopped me at enjoying my life, in fact it made me enjoy my life more.

I have a situation with my girlfriend, she is always worried that she might lose me. I tell her I'm not afraid of losing her and she might think it is because she loves me more. But to me losing her was always a possibility due to my stoic mindset. It is not because I don't love her or appreciate time with her. I'm just at peace with possibility of something bad happening to me.

How so? Do you need more detail from me or do you think people denying others of medical treatment because of their religion isn't deserving blame on religion. Do you have any idea why conversion therapy existed at all? I find your statement about being an atheist irrelevant a well. I'm agnostic and I find atheists to be just as irrational compared to religious people. You cannot prove their is a god and similar to proving there isn't a god. I do prefer how doctors that are atheist don't deny medical treatments for patients because of their religious beliefs.

I always liked the human characters in Bloom County more than I liked Opus and Bill so when he focused more and more on them I found myself less and less interested.
So for a random password picked from 72 character alphabet (capital/regular letters, 0-9, 10 punctuation chars) - 5 characters would be too short, but 6 might be safe? (log2(72^5) < 31, log2(72^7) ~ 37).

To go past 64,you'd want 11 characters.

Ed: and to take the pathological case of "classic" hashes, 50 billion guesses pr second - is (almost) equivalent to 36 bits of entropy pr second. If your password is 37 bits, on average it'll be found in one second - for certain in two.

If you want to aim for, say a hundred years (today), that should be about 32 bits (Log2(100 * 365.25 * 24 * 3600).

So 37+32 = 69 - which is about 12 random characters from an alphabet of 70, if my math is right.

Do note: random characters.

Still, a 50% to find in 100 years, 25% in 50, 12.5% in 25, 6.25% in 12.5... Still like 1 in a 100 passwords in just 3? years time. So if someone has millions of secure passwords [to crack ] ... You might want more entropy still [in the entire population] .

They are advertising for GitHub, I still don't know why people feel the need to use Github for well known projects other than the "social" aspect of GitHub. It would be interesting to see if it would be possible to extract the "social" aspect out GitHub and allow people to host git with a distributed social model (i.e. you host your own git on your own decentralized server but your social account and associated comments/metadata are all centralized.)
Reading all these other examples, feels like Tractatus would be a useful example tool for teaching graphs and RDF. This person's example on github was my favorite of the ones I found, as I was going to implement it like this myself, then had the sense to look it up and see if anyone else had.

Some time ago I posted about using these trees for expressing complex ontologies in a way that you can absorb them quickly, Tractatus is a great example of something impenetrable but consistent that could be used as a test for the quality and usability of a teaching ontology scheme.

His hierarchical format preceded modern software, but I wonder what his opinion might have been on tabs v. spaces. :)

Given it's a treegraph of axioms and rules, I'd wonder if there is an isomorphic or homomorphic graph that could form a syntax tree for a domain specific language or the basis of a reasoner or even a classifier. It's as if the Ted Chiang story writes itself.
