Ya that's another very common frustration against an imaginary premise.

Western companies that enter joint ventures in China with IP transfers are proactively done with executives who explicitly weigh the cost benefit of gaining the Chinese market and choose to do so.

An equivalent here would be for ByteDance to choose to enter the US market knowing they need to oxymoronically abdicate ownership once they do.

> its a fairly powerful tool for PM's

That's the fundamental problem. Jira is sold to PMs and managers, not to developers, and it shows. Jira isn't an issue tracking tool, it's a work-tracking and developer-tracking tool masquerading as an issue tracker. The people who spend the most time with it aren't the customer.
I understand edge cases and hidden complexity very well as software engineer, see my comment above for why I don't accept this take.
From the other point of view of having worked for US software companies all my life, I think the developer market is fucked up in the rest of the world because talented developers are getting criminally underpaid.
You're probably thinking of the documentary Between the Folds.

He's appeared in a lot of places though. Really interesting guy: homeschooled by his father in a van, finished his PhD before many people finish their second year of undergrad, youngest ever professor hired at MIT. Tons of mindblowing papers on computational origami.
> But there is absolutely no business incentive there - rather the opposite. Easy portability of data is not something most companies would want.

That depends on what kind of data it is. For example, your home address is not part of your bank's primary business model, but keeping it up-to-date is important for it. If data portability in and out of the bank makes it more likely that you'll keep it up-to-date, that's useful for your bank as well.

Legislation and customer demand is also making it more and more palatable. If some data is not critical to your business model, but being the sole guardian of it is a legal/reputational liability is, then actually handing control over that data over to someone else and re-using that is very useful.
I can't send DM's here and I don't know if you'll see an edit, so I wanted to add that I am sorry if I sounded condescending in my other reply, I initially just wanted to make sure you and other readers understand I am not new to the programming game to emphasise my frustration at not being able to understand something so simple as drawing html elements, and prevent assumptions about my ability to comprehend frameworks in general, but on re-reading it sounds like I'm trying to 1-up you, in reality I do find it hard to keep up and I am fearful that things are moving beyond my ability to comprehend. After some other discussions with other posters here this sounds like it might be a cool addition to the ug... component-o-sphere? It'll take me a while to get up to speed.

Thanks for taking the time, and I will try to be better next time.
Did you find a solution.

I created this open source project that could be useful for what you're trying to do:

How to Level Up Your DevOps
You'd probably still need to carry propellants, but yes, an Earth-capable SSTO should be able to hop around a lot on the Moon before needing to refuel.

Land-anywhere and launch-anywhere are also very attractive features for places with sparse support.

I wonder if SpaceX could build a demonstration landing pad, ferry some liquid methane and liquid oxygen to, say, Guam (which is kind of part of the US, making things a bit easier) and do a suborbital hop across the globe with the starship alone without the booster, refuel, and fly back to Florida.
Google could make a super compelling product that essentially turned a Google Doc or Sheet file into a website.

I know others have done this, but if Google built it and tied it into their Maps product and then ads it would theoretically make it extremely easy for a local barber to control it all in Google and Google would see incremental ad spend.

Instead Sites has been ignored, Blogger has languished, and Squarespace and WordPress are now the defacto tools for SMBs.

Kind of a head scratcher.
Maybe because Biden can't utter a few coherent words even if his life depended on it.
I’d argue the Shuttle failed because it wasn’t conservative enough. What we needed was more cost effective versions of the Saturn rockets.

Instead they got infected with the SSTO fantasy, which can never work well. But it boxed them in a corner with the wrong fuel, wrong engines and forced-them to add super expensive SSRBs, which required putting the Shuttle on the side, which led to two disasters and a “reusable” launch system that had to be totally rebuilt between launches.

We’d still have Skylab if they had focused on manufacturing efficiencies for Saturn rockets instead.
I find it really disturbing that you can't link to result pages. I think this is some kind of REST principles violation.
I work at Automattic, and p2 is (in my mind) _the_ thing that makes our remote-only culture work. We don't really use email that much or other forms of async chat. When synchronous chat (like Slack) gets to be too in-depth, our motto is "p2 or it didn't happen." p2 has the widest visibility in the company -- anyone can search for a p2 post, or cross-post to other teams and divisions. Since many teams are spread across the globe, async conversations are crucial to staying aligned. That's why any kind of in-depth conversation, technical analysis, or decision making happens on p2.

Company culture is also important to making it work, in my mind. p2 is viewed as the source of truth for many conversations (including meeting notes and summaries of slack conversations), which is part of how it works. Additionally, anyone across the company is empowered to post on any p2 to start conversations, ask questions, or kickstart lengthy, technical discussions.

In response to another commenter, Automattic has been using p2 as its main form of async internal communication for years before it even hit 1k employees, so it's not the kind of thing which requires a ton of people to work. Once a few hundred people using it as the main form of async conversation, there is certainly more content than any one person can consume. :)
It's an civilization-level issue that social media (particularly Facebook) has amplified but did not create.

It is a serious civilizational health issue that conservative political blocs in many countries have adopted electoral strategies based on spreading information that is objectively false. If social media platforms did not enable this, conservatives would simply find different avenues to lie.

Expecting for-profit social media platforms to combat the rise of rampant dishonesty as a political strategy in nominally democratic countries isn't ideal, but it's the only tool we have to mitigate the damage.
Yes, it's very clear that my solution would be better liked by me because it fits my preferences.

However, it also appears to me to be objectively better for society at large, in as much as I'm able to be objective.
> Our goal shouldn't be to "dominate the competition/market." The goal should be creating compelling experiences and products for our customers.

Googler also. I believe that the phrase used to capture the desired mindset is "respect the opportunity".
It really depends on how big the company you work at is and what space they work in.

A small company will usually not have that really. A large one has regulators looking at them and someone looking to sue to get a slice of the pie. Your emails and texts are subject to ending up in a legal case. They can use your stuff out of context and say you were doing something else. Remember they will lie about you. As they do not care about truth they want to win for their client (be it the gov or someone else). Can they get in trouble for that? Sure. But sometimes they just see if they can get away with it. Usually they just get told no, usually.

I have never worked a day in SV. This sort of training is common in big companies.
> What will the price be?

If you allow Google/Alphabet to practice price discrimination, it will charge customers in richer countries more. You and I would pay $5/month, much of India would pay $1/month, and people who can only afford $.1/month would pay that.

If you insist that the price be uniform over all users, then it has to be $.1/month, or whatever the lowest common denominator is. Of course in that scenario it's much harder to get to a revenue number that is anywhere close to Alphabet's current revenue.
Yes, yes they can.

The real question is if they can convince all the professionals those companies cater to to adopt an ecosystem where software providers have to go through an arbitrarily and closely controlled App Store.

If their hardware and base OS is too attractive to those professionals relative to the loss of freedom Adobe, etc. will follow.

Thankfully, though, I don’t think Mac users will actually be ok with that. There’s been quite an exodus of professionals from Mac to windows based on much smaller things so far.
Companies with millions of miles of physical infrastructure have been broken up before. You're missing the forest for the trees if you're fixating on the code.

That's neat. Do you think it could be modified for nesting, in the context of laser cutting? Last I checked there were no OSS nesting options, o my commercial options marketed for industrial production.
You're referencing joint-venture requirements. They've been phased out in most industries over the past three decades, and they're not as onerous as you're depicting them.

Plenty of Western manufacturers did fine over decades with junior partners. VW never lost its technological edge to a Chinese competitor, despite being in a joint venture since 1984.
I’m sure that there is plenty of creative cost allocation going on.

Years ago, at a revenue funded program in a non-Federal setting, one of our roles was furnishing the organization. They would use a 5 year depreciation cycle and move groups of people every few years, leaving depreciated office furniture behind and buying new/newer stuff at the new office.

You could trace the movement by color selections. The orange and vomit green legacy of the 1970s was replaced by pottery barn colors from a swatch that one of the big shots kept in her desk. Furniture was used midrange commercial stuff instead of WW2 (literally) surplus desks and prison chairs. They would add little touches like getting posters and artwork from regional tourism groups and leftover event posters from local festivals to decorate. (Typically for free)
A freelancer is usually an independent contractor, so they're a subset of contractors.

You get a certain kind of freedom with freelancing but it does get tiring to chase people down for your money.
I don't accept your leftist explanation that the problem is the right. It's much more nuanced than that.
I use Jira to track issues. It’s not as pretty and dumbed down as Github or as dandy as YouTrack but does the job fine over the last 8 years we used it.

Just to clarify for non-lawyers, PACER is needed for certain filings, but not the four opinions themselves. There are several good websites that host these.

Not that PACER isn’t overcharging, just that it isn’t where lawyers go to get opinions, which are critically important for the practice of law.

Did you actually read the app description?

It is a Stadia manager, not Stadia itself...
The reason why CRC32C was chosen as a replacement instead of SHA-2 or whatever - what happens if in a few more years, SHA-2 isn’t considered secure any more and some future security audit demands it be changed again? Whereas, a CRC algorithm isn’t usually used for security purposes, so a security audit is far less likely to pay any attention to it. The whole issue started because a security-related technology was used for a non-security purpose.
Until you want something more specific like listing absolute paths of those directories without the metadata

ls -l | grep '^d' | awk '{print $9}' | xargs realpath

Or

ls -ld "$PWD"/* | grep '^d' | awk '{print $9}'

Guessing Crush could just add another property called Fullpath you can echo in the next pipe after filtering.

ls | where {type == "directory"} | select %Fullpath

Maybe he adds a --dir flag

ls --dir | select %Fullpath
I do, because I can make a compiler that chooses non standard instructions.
Yes, increase the complexity. That is usually what makes things more stable.
The article mentions that this will allow the company to recruit from areas where pay is much lower than the Bay Area, but I wonder if this will affect the pay of current workers.
Per your chart, single-thread performance has been basically flat since 2012. There's also negligible difference between SATA and NVME SSDs for regular desktop work (there are many videos demonstrating this).

I have a six-year-old computer (i5-4670k) and there isn't really much tempting me to upgrade. I can even still run contemporary games on high settings at 1440p (after upgrading GPU to a GTX 1060). The only thing that might eventually clinch it is that DDR3 RAM is very expensive at larger sizes, and it would be nice to have 64 or 128 GB for some workloads (requiring upgrading CPU + mobo to support DDR4).
The video search is broken for me, tested on Chrome with the keyword "golang". It's just showing blank.
Em... how to force. punish you if you don't run a business?
I think the main idea in the prisoner's dilemma is that in the defect/no defect case the defector has great gains and the non-defector has great losses. Who gains and who loses is the key and that is what China has been doing to the West since entering the WTO in 2001. Tit-for-tat quickly eliminates the gains for the defector.
Well, and memory usage too etc. But what's the point then? Why would Intel have their optimizing compiler? Why GCC vs llvm?

fatty foods/sugary foods are highly addicting (almost like drugs in my opinion)

this is a "hot take" but selling a super extra large pepperoni pizza with extra everything and 50g of sugar per serving soda to go with it should almost be like, illegal the same way heroin/cocaine are (to protect ourselves, right?)

I've heard it said that a benevolent dictatorship is a better government than democracy for that reason (e.g. Singapore) until it stood being benevolent because the leadership changed or the leader grew corrupt. There's some truth there. That's not an argument in favor of authoritarianism, of course.
I want to watch docs but I don't even know where to start with this massive page:/
The actual report that the article links to - and is based on - uses the phrase "human right" numerous times.
In case of Li Wenliang and the initial COVID 19 mess up, some level of accountability did happen. The court ruled in favor of Li Wenliang, said the police's treatment was not right, and the police apologized. Also, the Wuhan city officials who handled the initial COVID 19 case were fired.

Generally nothing happens to people who complain, unless they instigate mass protests or are deemed a threat to the state. As for whether govt officials listen to them: they do, although not always. Depends on the case.
Yeah, this is a big part of it.
It wasn’t Dildoking, although I do know why you’d think that as I have seen plenty of billboards (and fly-posters and a car) advertising them.
I took the statement "different compilers" to be completely different projects and codebases. Of course reproducable builds make sense in that situation. But why in the world would you ever expect gcc to 100% always match the output of llvm? That doesn't make sense.
Show HN: Guestboard 2.0 – Our Alternative to FB Events – Now with Video Chat
Hey everyone,

Peter, Nick, and Joseph here with https://guestboard.co, and we're back with some significant improvements, a snazzy iOS app, as well as our own pivot/response to the growing need for virtual event solutions.

The problem that Guestboard continues to solve is that there are MANY event types that are too complex for a simple digital invite like Paperless Post, and too small for pricey event software.

Facebook Events used to claim this title, but the average Joe/Jane needs a flexible and intuitive tool that can scale with their needs, and can manage groups of 10 - 1000 people, whether it's personal or professional events.

But with COVID, we were presented with a new hurdle. In-person events being out the window for a while, we didn't want to lose sight of our original mission. But we also needed to meet the changing landscape.

Among other updates, we just released our Video Chat widget– one of 10 optional (and free) event tools you can activate in your event board.

The Video Chat widget is nothing groundbreaking, to be honest. Just stable, encrypted videocalls powered by Jitsi Meet's open source platform. But with this, we were able to build one important distinguishing feature..

With Video Chat, you can schedule multiple AND concurrent video calls, with slick invitations that are sent directly to your existing guest list within Guestboard.

When paired with other widgets like Schedule, Checklist, Message Board and Shared Resources, you're able to build an event board that is perfectly tailored to the needs of your group, foster a little community around your event, and streamline your communication all in one place.

As always, we're here for some real feedback and critique, so if you're the type of person who typically wrangles large groups of people, how can we solve your pain points even further?

Happy Friday!
But can you set either as Default?

Even if you have another browser chrome wrapped around webkit, when you click a link it probably will open Safari.

Hopefully they follow through with the change on iOS 14.
> "Bad: the defensive rationale for this acquisition is clear: Get ahead of the competition and cut off their access to the target's product"

> "Good: The rationale for this acquisition is clear: Integrate the target with Google and improve our products for users"

The conversion is very lossy so will likely hamstring Google's business processes, both immediately and by eventual morphing of the vague-wording culture into the bullshit culture.

Which it seems would serve the purpose of promoting competition - selectively handicapping companies big enough to worry about antitrust makes room for smaller and nimbler companies.
lmao, i don't mind jira, but bitbucket sucks all the balls
Yeah, I thought this was a bizarre one to exclude. Especially as I can't imagine it has a particularly large effect on compile time. At least not if it's enabled by a keyword.

I think for that, you might want to look into https://github.com/dmolina/DaemonMode.jl. This is essentially a just a clever utility for keeping a background julia session running that you feed scripts to, rather than spinning up a new session every time you launch a new script.

This is a nice alternative to the AOT compilation offered by the likes of PackageCompiler.jl
It's possible that the Fit fell into a spot where it would be unprofitable under USMCA (The new trade agreement between US, Mexico, Canada.) Under the new agreement more 'value' of the vehicle (be it parts, or the cost of labor to assemble) has to be from within U/C/M to avoid being considered an 'import' and subject to additional tariffs.
12 years is not a long time even just by enterprise software standards. The RHEL/Fedora Anaconda installer Git history goes back to 1999 (was CVS initially and then imported to Git) and that's just when tracking was first used, it existed many years before that.

Also RHEL support lifecycles are 11+ years, so for RHEL 8 released in 2019, that's a commitment to ~2030 right here and there & with doing this for many years for the past releases proving the point.

No wonder the most critical stuff (Bank, Stock exchnages, etc.) run on RHEL and not on some half baked Google stuff that will get deprecated from under them at a moments notice.

RFCs don't get changed, they get replaced by new ones. Until we find something that is 'good enough'. SMTP and IMAP are now older than quite a few of HN's readers. They could be replaced by something better, all someone would have to do is design it and put out a new RFC.

What is true though is that once a protocol is 'good enough and it gains mass adoption that change is hard but this is more to be blamed on human nature and inertia than that it is to be blamed on the RFC system in itself.
It's probably broken down. That's what they do, right?
