Very sad, but true. I’m still using LR6. Even though the map view doesn’t work any more and it cannot handle anything shot with my phone it is still the best option.

I wonder why the state of open source alternatives is so sad and what can be done to improve the situation.
Yup like wooden crates packaging actual products but infested with emerald ash bohrer or asian long horned beetle larvae. Only NZ and AU have an effective biisecurity policies.
You call them priveledged but are they necessarily always wrong? There would be a bias towards more extreme passions to try to go towards extreme changes and would feel a temptation towards partisanship feeling so outnumbered.

Given that norms say nothing about it doesn't mean they are always but the possibility exists that the extremists really are too emotional and partisan, and getting what they wanted would be the proverbial dog catching the car and not knowing what to do with it or crashing it immediately.
19 kb @ USD 0,10 / bp ~= USD 2'000. Luckily it appears full synthesis is still impractical above 1 kb ... in a single step.
Microsoft also bought jClarity and are now an OpenJDK contributor.

And the VSCode plugins are developed in cooperation with Red-Hat.
“November 27, 1989“ “Broadcast on Repeat Monday with no pre-announcement. The original airdate was February 10, 1989.”

“Was it overdubbed on the original airing?”

“No.”

and see all Pike Bishop comments: “as a native Spanish speaker from Chile, I must say this is priceless stuff! This was dubbed in Mexico. I contribute to a website that identifies and lists the voice actors of Spanish dubs made for Latin America, so I know several of the voices in this video; in fact, I grew up listening to them, along with millions of other people!”
Yes, we should.
Remember when GCC had no open source competition? Things have been much better since clang came out.

Or consider openssl since libressl came out. Yes it's possible that codebase improvements would have happened anyways, but having open source competition is great.
Didn't Sun open-source Java before Android launched (but after Android had already done a significant amount of implementation internally)? Looks like they open-sourced it in fall 2006. Android was founded in fall 2003 and acquired by Google in summer 2005, but I can't find any public references to it being Java-based from before 2007.

Android is now using OpenJDK and (I assume) not paying anything to Oracle for it. I think they could theoretically have rebased on top of OpenJDK in early 2007 if they expected it to be a serious legal problem, and Sun would have been no better off.
The 2014/2015 Ebola crisis in West Africa has also been definitively traced to people eating bats. There's biological reasons why bats are reservoirs of viruses that are not harmful to themselves, but to many other mammals.
I think the first step towards large scale human activity in space is the construction of substantial industrial facilities on the moon. The central advantage of such facilities is that it will be much much cheaper to launch material into space from the moon, because it has lower gravity and less atmosphere. When those facilities are fully operational, we'll be able to send large numbers of vehicles into space, including big residential ships where lots of people could live for extended periods of time. It's not clear to me why it would be better to live on Mars (or some other planet/moon) than on a well-designed spaceship.
And that's exactly the reason why they should mention they are migrating to git hosted on GitHub in that announcement.

It's pretty bothering that most people equate a distributed open-source code versioning system with a centralized Microsoft service, isn't it?
Yeah, it’s called Kilopower. A small fission reactor using Stirling engines. Up to 10 kilowatts electric
Thanks, this is closer to what I was expecting. Maybe I can finally understand Wittgenstein by using this tree diagram as scaffolding...
Yup, me too. I set up the iPad, tap recording and then unpack the ordered item. It's zero hassle and potentially saves a lot of discussion.
Are there there similar but open and private solutions to Garmin/etc for h/w and Strava/RunKeeper/etc for software?

Some solution where I can track my runs, swims, cyclings, treks just like Strava (et al) does does but I can choose to keep the data wherever I wish - local, or sync to an app on computer or to a self hosted server.

Maybe not Garmin but I would love to use such an iOS Strava alternative with similar accuracy and detail.
Why not? It’s not like it demands any specific skills, and there are a lot of people out of work who would jump on the chance to not go back to their old jobs right now.
> For most people it is.

Excluding the contributors to such small projects as KDE, Gnome, Freedesktop, Debian, Arch Linux, Drupal all of which are self hosting Gitlab.
I can tell you that I would welcome the option to sync locally the last few days, even if I had to plug in my phone to support the massive power costs. Maybe they could offload the processing to the watch (since it already is able to display a summary of these files).
So the blame shifting had begun.
Side tangent: is it all seafood that you dislike?

My girlfriend finds all forms of fish and seafood distasteful - fresh water fish, salt water fish, shellfish, the lot. In almost all instances she finds it nauseating, even the smell from a distance.

I've not previously encountered anyone with such a broad dislike for seafood. I'm curious what your experiences are.
I generally do not like zucchini, but this zucchini soup [1] is terrific, and extraordinarily healthy (I sub yogurt for sour cream).

Its fun for me to say this, but it just goes to show the kind of people behind the project today, i mean, did you see the explosion in versioning ? OJDK/ORACLE duo slowly feeding the hype machine by carefully making moves that all the players look good. You say github, i see a very careful type of microsoft pitch.

That all said ... well good on them, its about time.
It depends on what you consider good, but generally it is possible to become a a proficient enough salsa dancer in maybe 2 or 3 month, if you are keen and work on it. Importantly, many (most) salsa courses focus too much on moves and not enough on musicality and the basics (also due to student demand). I would argue you can have great fun with the basic food work and 2-3 moves, and I know that most followers really enjoy the dance even if the vocabulary is limited, as long as there is rhythm. This applies to Salsa in general, but LA/linear is more focused on moves and Cuban more on musicality I would say.

Not really, except at a high level as capacitors and inductors both store energy. Capacitors store charge as a steady voltage while inductors store magnetic field as a steady current, which results in a different circuit topology.

If you want to learn how switching regulators work, start by studying the basic "boost converter".
They've starting contributing to the development recently as well [1].

Sun's main issue was that they failed to capitalize on all the wonderful tech they had including Java, VirtualBox and Openoffice/StarOffice. Even after open sourcing all of them, they could have kept the company running by marketing to enterprises and offering support.

If they had learned these skills from companies like RH/SUSE/IBM, then Java would have been in much better hands today.
Open JDK has been there since 2007, large part of Java tools and libraries are under open source license, JCP has been advocating open development since 1998 so I call this BS.
But all of those steps seem like they would take additional computing power, and therefore generate more heat. I fail to see how what you describe uses less power. It seems somewhat akin to emulating a low power processor on a very high powered system, the emulation itself ends up using more processor cycles and power than the original hardware would have.
Or even worse, describing an entire Linux binary compatibility layer as "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows", like Microsoft originally did.

J++ did not fail, it was the first language designed by Anders after joining Microsoft and had a sane FFI, which became P/Invoke and their Forms framework was the basis of Windows Forms.

So yeah, they failed to win the court process if that is what you mean.

Also something that many seem to forget, .NET was also released with J#.

Another fun fact, JNI is hard by design as means to promote WORA, and Project Panama that is supposed to replace it has several ideas similar to P/Invoke.

Finally many that celebrate Sun's victory over Microsoft regarding J++, are too eager to pick Android Java side nowadays.
System administrator should be main actor in security. Thing is no one wants to be system administrator now, everyone wants to be "cybersecurity expert/ethical hacker". Which in my opinion "ethical hacker" should be something that we call pentesters and we don't need system administrators to be "ethical hackers".

I do not equate pentesting with all security, it is that people don't want to do boring job of sysadmins. People don't want to spend all day going through logs, going through alerts and sorting out false positives. Which is real job there and is boring and that is not what "hackers do".

If that article would have title "How to become system administrator" no one would read it or comment it.

Pentesting is really small part of security that should be an elite, because most of the work is in system administration.
I agree with that and I have the same experience however it's important to also recognize the dangerous of the centralization and vendor lock-in not only the convenience.

Hence why running own infrastructure and mirror to Github makes a lot of sense for bigger open-source projects.
Good point, people have largely forgotten the distinction between Git and GitHub.

> It’s definitely not surprising to see the competition close in on Intel, but it’s also not the end of an era.

TSMC's 7nm process is mature and superior to anything that Intel can currently produce in volume, and their 5nm process has nearly double the transistor density of 7nm (and over 4x the density of Intel's mature 14nm process). Samsung isn't far behind.

That Intel's CEO is telling investors that they may be manufacturing cutting edge products elsewhere is a clear signal that they're getting ready to pivot. This is on top of the earlier steps that Intel took to make their processor architectures more portable between manufacturing processes.

Semiconductor manufacturing, especially at the leading edge, requires massive economies of scale to be sustainable. While Intel didn't explicitly say they were bowing out, the steps that Intel's leadership is taking clearly point to them recognizing that they have no viable path forward as a leading-edge manufacturer.

Within the next 3 years, barring a government bailout, or TSMC/Samsung's 5nm processes failing in a similar fashion (which at least for TSMC, seems unlikely), I expect Intel to spin off its manufacturing business into a separate company and go fabless.
I have thought about using DVC at work, but I have held off in part because it isn’t clear to me how the development is supported financially. I recall seeing a job posting (almost put in a resume!), but I don’t see any pricing info, so I’m a bit confused. Am I missing something obvious?
Outrigger canoes have already been mentioned, but other specific technologies used by the Polynesians include multiple different types of cordage, sewn Planck construction, wooden clamps, woven sails and rigging, drills and several dozen different types of adze.

This sort of construction is extremely sophisticated, and we simply don’t see anything like it anywhere prior to single digit thousands of years ago.

Furthermore if anyone tens of thousands of years ago had this sort of technology, we’d expect to see physical evidence of those people in places only reachable with it. If it was used to populate America, why not Polynesia? Why did they wait another 30k years to go anywhere else?
I wonder how many people Garmin has working on this. It seems like there’d be someone in an English speaking country that could come up with a statement and answer some questions. Do they have their marketing team busy negotiating with Evil Corp or something?
I don't know, the "it's just" part kind of indicates that the real probability of things remaining correlated were not what LTCM thought they were, to the point where they couldn't afford to stay in the position long enough for things to snap back. I don't buy that as "always winning".

Ah yes, mine is 32:9, which is far more useful IMO!

Re: Magnet, I switched from Spectacle when I got my first ultrawide a few years back, and haven't experienced any issues with it. The default shortcuts are quite reasonable (ctrl+alt+{d,f,g} for thirds), and the edge drag zones are nice. I don't really recall what Spectacle was like in day to day use though, sorry.
Montreal is taxing churches (2017)
I somehow got put on a Brushing list for a while, I was sent a camping stove, some XXL size pajamas, a bartender kit, and a Chinese wedding jacket.

I only was able to track down the glowing review for the bartender kit, I have no idea where the other stuff was purchased from.
It demands somewhat general but far from universal skills. Look at for example the CDC's suggested training (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/php/cont...) - this isn't something the average person will be able to pick up quickly and easily.
You can't just take every species that hasn't caused a global pandemic in the past and declare them all equally safe. There are differing levels of risk in different species, and not only that but in different farming and food preparation practices, and in captive vs. wild populations.
It isn't absolutely everything for one. If it was then you could legally buy slaves, nuclear weapons or foreign nations could buy New York in its entirety based upon a market cap would be far closer to commodification of everything.

Commoditization is just a fundamental result of math basically. Fundamentally there is still a cost to a commodities no matter what party pays for it to provide it or bar access through certain methods as illegitimate like it being illegal to buy organs from a donor for transplant.
Simple and genuine question, why does the US feel entitled to all natural resources and do as it pleases ? Isn't the Moon and the mars common to all humanity ? Why does the US assume it can do whatever it wants on these planets ? With this, other countries will join the race, and soon moon and mars will be exploited just like we have unleashed massive ecological destruction on earth.
Managing behaviour in a mid-80's soviet classroom.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT9VBW87QXw

Note the rigid uniformity, and how students are expected to stand when giving answers. It may also be a good example of the extent to which academically strong students were dragged down by their peers?

(The whole movie is subversive in certain ways. I understand soviet children were indoctrinated to be helpful to adults, but in the movie Julia's grandmother —who may have had some experience herself with the value of keeping one's mouth shut— helps them buck the system.)

On sexism in the soviet union:

Today, little Johnny's class has a pair[1] of teaching observers. After waiting a moment with no hands raised, the teacher calls on Johnny, asking him what inspired Pushkin to write To the Beauty. Johnny answers, "she has such fine legs. I bet her ass — exquisite." "Citizen John!" exclaims the teacher, "go straight to Principal, and tell him what you said!"

On his way out the door, Johnny angrily denounces the teaching observers: "next time you prompt, Comrades, please ensure you know correct answer."

This guidance was missed 6 weeks ago when people wanted to talk about the horrors of police brutality.

The way I see it is if a person’s intent is seeking either sympathy or any social value proposition HN is likely not the ideal venue. It’s like the taboo of talking about politics in the office for those of us who don’t live in the valley where that is more generally accepted.
See, this is why Stoicism just isn’t for me. This curbing of the positive (emotional attachment to friends and family) to make the negative less bad and more tolerable. Stoicism strikes me as a(n effective!) defense mechanism for folks with excruciatingly terrible lives, but honestly seems to take too much of the spice out of life for my tastes. I’m a very emotional person, and I’ve learned to embrace that.
Not all animal species carry the same risk. This isn't about privilege - or at least not anymore. Mainland Chinese learned to eat anything and everything that moved after food shortages and famines caused by e.g. the four pests and such. This is cultural. as are the unsanitary conditions at wet markets, and completely unscientific "traditional medicine" and the common notion that live beings taste better if tortured before death.

Stop bending over backwards to excuse antisocial behavior. Not all cultural practices are positive and need to be celebrated.
Taiwan has eliminated community spread. The only new cases are folks who are entering the country (who must undergo the 14 day mandatory quarantine).
I’m sorry but you are mistaken. Yes, there is an organization called “Black Lives Matter.” No it is not behind all the protests, nor is it in charge of the movement, nor is the press elevating it.

It has the approximate relationship to the protests as the Unitarian Church has to all of Christianity.

From your comments, I think you may have a diet of information that is too narrow. A few media outlets aggressively conflate the movement and the organization in an effort to use discomfort with one (the org) to gin up discomfort with the entire topic of racial equality.

I encourage you to think about a simple question: if Mitt Romney, who is clearly not a Marxist will say “black lives matter,” why won’t you? How can your concern be economics if conservative capitalists are saying it?

EDIT to add an example maybe more familiar it HN readers. There’s an open source movement, and an organization called the Open Source Initiative, which dates from the same time and even claims to have helped invent the term.

When you hear someone talk about “open source,” or read a news article that mentions “open source,” do you think they are talking about the broad social movement, or about the OSI specifically? The movement, right? Well it’s the same with Black Lives Matter, which is a rallying cry that is used widely and not owned by any particular small group of people.
The moon does not have an ecology to destroy.

on edit: not that this gives the U.S rights to it, but ecological destruction is not a result of the U.S exploiting the Moon.
Also happens with cucumbers. I've thrown away some salad I made and got ruined because of bitter cucumbers. Now I always taste them before they could ruin the salad.
That's a bit like the fallacy of relative privation: Because what the west does isn't as bad, they aren't culpable. Again, there was a global pandemic caused by pig farming just 11 short years ago, and everybody is still eating bacon.

Weird that there's no mention of Apple switching to ARM. I don't know what percentage of Intel's sales have historically gone to Apple, but it's about to be a whole lot less. I imagine that's part of the decline in stock price.

I'm always curious about new slang or jargon but can't place this sense of 'Bratan' in the context of espionage/geopolitics. Flexing brotherhood? Flexing manliness?

I understand what you are suggesting, considering IntelliJ products are tightly integrated with Android ecosystem there are chances that the survey results are skewed towards flutter development.

Then again, none of the responses here are outside flutter development!
The WTC story reminded me of what happened in one of my college classes that day. I was in a linguistics class on syntax and the teacher was diagramming sentences. It was around 11 AM ET, and students were aware that the towers had fallen. The teacher was annoyed by the students who were whispering in the back of the smallish classroom, so she diagrammed the following sentences:

• The students were talking in the class.

• It annoyed the teacher that the students were talking in the class.

After class she learned what had happened and sent an apology email to everyone (and cancelled the next class). My guess is that she had been prepping class all morning and hadn't read any news.
Yeah, in fact, it was me in the original youtube. Even I forgot I ever saw this on youtube...

But you're right -- 1989 summer job.... 3 network channels + some UHF channels. I doubt I was the only burger flipper sitting there thinking, "huh?" at midnight.

Millennials will never appreciate how edgy Far Side, Letterman, Howard Stern, etc. were to that era. Of course, I'll never appreciate most of the nonsense my teen son watches on youtube now either. (he even thought 'Heat' was a lame movie...)
The hills of California used to be green in the summer. The dead yellow fire hazard grass is called “avena” and is an invasive species.

If I ran things, I’d develop an avena-specific herbicide, and drop it from helicopters every spring.

Replacing it with natives would lower the fire risk substantially, and probably also cool the hills off a bit during the summer.
If you try a terraforming experiment on Mars and it fails, nobody's life/house/country/etc is ruined, which isn't true of geoengineering on Earth. I agree with the sentiment that there really is no Plan B to fixing climate change but that doesn't mean the goals of space colonization and fixing climate change are contrary.

To be clear, are you saying that any email subscription service (e.g., newsletters, activity notifications) is immoral/evil, even with enthusiastic informed consent, double-opt-in, 1-click unsubscribe support, and any other measures to ensure the sending of email is welcomed by the user and no messages are sent after such time as they become unwelcome; even with all that, is there no conceivable legitimate, moral, non-evil use for this product?

For instance, a project I help to operate is a platform to help surgeons find anaesthetists for their surgeries, sometimes for emergencies at very short notice. It currently sends a few hundred emails a day, and everyone who receives them absolutely wants and needs to receive them. If the project keeps growing, the email volume could grow into the thousands per day. Is this morally reprehensible?
I mean, if you're a bad programmer, sure. But we've had multi-core systems for decades at this point, one should know at least basic MT techniques, or, short of that, not to fuck with resources cross-thread unless you know what you're doing
