Lol as if there is oodles of money to be gained from hosting a store like that on Linux. We can see all these steam game publishers desperate to release games to a community that is rather famous fo being cheapskates.

That's a prompt written by a human. But 'through the wormhole' I found this snippet that reads like a Black Mirror episode guest-written by Thomas Friedman.[0]

Does anyone else find it pretty obnoxious that this site changes the window title back and forth between "Jira is a microcosm of what’s broken in software development" and "(1) New Message!"?

Is this a bug? Who thought this was a good idea?
Learning Jira and accepting Jira both classic and NG has made me so much money, as a team leader, architect and program manager.

Jira is the user plane for interacting with project items, however like others here said, everything else must be solved with clear communication, frequent ACKs with team members and so on.

Yes, Jira Next Gen is nicer. But classic works fine too!

Also Jira can be a lot of other things. It's really flexible.
Pat on shoulder that readers can appreciate your time spent on optimizing the experience.

Not a web dev. Don't know much about Javascript itself.

MathJax might be the most significant JS project ever. It enabled something that couldn't really be done before it came along, displaying complicated equations in a readable manner.

Ace deserves at least an honorable mention. I was able to add a full-blown text editor to a CGI app with little effort. I'm pretty sure it's been around longer than VS Code and it's been used in more major projects.
Anyone who takes particulate pollution seriously is not going to like the article.

To solve particulate pollution in a practical way we don't need to build wind turbines to replace gas plants (that would be good for CO2 reasons though), we need to slap filters on diesel garbage trucks and heavy industry exhaust stacks and wet down construction sites and do other things to keep small dust (which invariably gets into people's lungs, reacts with various organic molecules and causes problems) to a minimum.

Straw manning particulate pollution as a fossil fuel problem is a great way to make particulate pollution seem like a bigger and harder to solve problem than it actually is.
They've been very supportive, however I usually like to have delineation between work and side projects I stand to profit from.

I have had some time to learn a bit about React and TypeScript from our front-end people. It's hard to communicate over slack, but it's cool to have pro's I can bounce questions off of.
> Take subtasks, for example. The invention of Jira subtasks is an affront to dev teams.

Really? Not to me, although I’m not clear when to make a subtask or start using an epic.
Hi, I work at Docker. Registry sees each layer as a SHA and does not store multiple copies of the same SHA for obvious reasons. This is not unique to Hub, it's part of the registry design spec.

Registry is open source (https://github.com/docker/distribution) and implements the OCI Distribution Specification (https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec/blob/mas...) if you want to dig into it.
If it makes you feel any better, many types of reactors produce helpful medical isotopes as a side effect of operation. So when looking at lives-per-megajoule nuclear is one of the absolute best, even accounting for some of the accidents.
As a customer, if the game I'm about to buy was able to be polished because of additional funding/saving, I'm interested in the game being exclusive.

As a customer, if the game company has better chances of surviving paying their employees a decent wage, making quality games that I can enjoy, I'm interested in the game being exclusive.

As a customer, if the market could have more store options other than Steam so prices can be more competitive and developers can choose better deals, I'm interested in games being exclusive.

Also as a customer I can decide to just not play the game because of exclusivity and move on.

Why is Mario not on Steam? Why is The Last of Us or Uncharted not on PC? Yeah it sucks games are not ubiquitous but it's not always in the best interest of game developers to distribute their games everywhere and I think it should be perfectly understandable from the point of view of customers.

Also, from the point of view of Epic, I guess it's expected they want something in return for funding projects.

I don't get the anger people direct towards Epic when in fact they are doing a good thing for the market that very few companies would have the power to do.
I'd like to see Microsoft stepping up to the plate and hiring the Rust team...
It's not antitrust or a monopoly. I can play fortnite on a metric shit-ton of devices. Apple isn't blocking them from a market, it isn't price fixing. When you develop for Apple you sign an agreement to pay for the service the App Store provides. You might not like the price but using a bad reading of the law to get your way is bad for everyone.
Google Update Tanks Traffic
The Mozilla layoffs indicate that the mission you speak of has ended. It's over. It was at best a business experiment with a socially progressive slant, capturing the hearts and minds of employees in exchange for their commitment to company objectives. Unfortunately, those responsible for the plan are not held as accountable for it failing to achieve their business objectives.
Yes: In terms of performance per watt, AMD generally beats Intel. It's not really even close in many situations. What this means for consumers is more complex, as there are many variables you can try to optimize for.

If you're after minimal power usage in order to optimize for electricity cost, while still keeping good performance, actually: mobile Intel CPUs tend to be the best pick. AMD has some strong mobile CPU options, but they're essentially impossible to build into a desktop PC, whereas mobile Intel CPUs are available in products like the Ghost Canyon NUCs (ok, well, "available" may not be the right word, because they're freakin' impossible to find right now, but Officially, anyone can buy them).

If you're after lowering heat output for the purposes of reducing noise or increasing overclocking performance, generally its better to solve this via better cooling. Noise is more of a function of bad cooling, rather than super-high heat output from the processor. Many people view liquid cooling as "super high overclocking performance", but actually: The biggest benefit to liquid cooling is that it reduces "air churn" inside the case by removing the typical CPU radiator fan just sitting in the middle of the case spilling air in every direction. Instead, you've got dedicated intake/output fans on defined sides of the case, resulting in clear air paths, which increases fan efficiency, reducing the number of fans you need or reducing the amount of work they need to do.

But: the laws of thermodynamics state that heat can't just disappear. If you're optimizing for actual heat reduction for the sheer purpose of heat reduction, then an Intel mobile CPU or Ryzen desktop CPU is better (with Intel mobile CPUs being better by far).

Check out the Ghost Canyon NUCs. If you can find one, they're more expensive than just DIY, but would likely be a great option for you.
Money laundering has this vague definition of reusing or reinvesting any money from a crime.

You can do a very minor crime and be charged for money laundering (which is a serious offense).
I keep trying to understand if these ideas will be useful for epidemiology. Right now I think there is a long way to go for multivariate statistics.

It seems that differential privacy can handle one column of data, with some categorical filters (like "smoker: yes/no"). But epi researchers have to do multivariate correction for many lifestyle factors. These kinds of corrections seem very difficult to manage in such a datastore - but if you cannot do them, you just find some correlation with age or location that isn't what you intended to find.

In other words, these kinds of "lots of columns at once" queries are really important to epidemiology, and my impression is that differential privacy is not so strong here. Anyone have a better impression of what might be possible in the future?

No there are not. It's extremely frustrating that Free Pascal and Delphi's Pascal are stuck with all the annoying baggage that more modern languages have been able to skip.
one thing I've learned is that 99.99% of the time when somebody doesn't answer their phone, it's not because they're having an emergency. however, as a parent/spouse it's really hard to interpret no response to frantic calls (IE, if I try to reach my spouse and don't get a response on any chat system she uses for 4 hours, I'm going to assume tehre's an emergency, but usually it's jsut that spouse wasn't near phone).
Microsoft donates $10k to ESLint as first FOSS Fund recipient
Uhm, about 6-20 very common ones,, though total count is close to 200. And these have variants. But even within just betacoronavirus 1 OH49 (10% of colds or thereabouts) immunity is not persistent.

It is just mild enough. There's another one alphacoronavirus in about 5% of colds that is much worse. (Not counting SARS group.) Mind you parallel infection with multiple viruses is common.

Startup school has been amazing for me ... it's really helped to give the psychological push to get going and keep going. I think it's really incredible that it exists, is free, and is as useful as it is.
• Nothing available that's as lightweight and good as Apple's "office"-type suite.

• Nothing as all-around good as Preview (yes, seriously).

• Worse battery life, partly due to worse OS optimizations and partly due to not having Safari available. Solutions to this in Linux that actually yield good results usually involve hard-capping performance at a pretty low level, IME.

• Little things like screen recording and screenshot capabilities not being as nice for basic use, out of the box.

• AFAIK not only is the default English keyboard on Linux far worse at the task of writing in English than that on macOS, there's not a single alternative layout that's close to as good as the Mac default. Yes, I'm dead serious about this, and frankly it's friggin' weird they'd have such a significant advantage on something like that in the year 2020, and I really wish other operating systems would catch up because I do not like being forced to use Apple products just so my experience composing documents in English isn't bad. I do not understand how they still have such a large advantage here, but somehow, they do. Totally baffling.

• If you do anything serious with software-UI-related graphic design, or work closely with people who do, you pretty much need a Mac because odds are good you'll be using at least some mac-only software or have things shared with you that work only in mac programs.

• You lose a variety of time-saving integrations with i-devices, if you're someone who takes advantage of those.
I really dislike using JIRA, I struggle with it for all the reasons there, and more. But...

"Though I think of Jira more like a spreadsheet. Very useful once upon a time. Outdated now. Static. Manual."

Are spreadsheets really outdated now?

There's sort of a catch 22. There should have been a lawsuit against Google for their anticompetitive tactics for promoting Chrome, but you can't bite the hand that feeds you.
The answer is that we actually have very limited knowledge about accelerators space, and we didn't actually "shop" around. Both me and Lily know YC, from YC alumni in this space, and the videos on Youtube. I think YC did really good job on publishing the "secret source" so that every entrepreneur can benefit from it.

In some way, our idea is kind of aligned. We want to make the barrier of access good cancer care very low so that everybody can benefit from it. Instead of working so hard to search for referrals in order to see the good doctors.

One take away from 3 months in: digital health sits on the cross of healthcare/bio and technology. YC has really diversified companies, and we benefit a lot from the perspectives in different sectors.
They only take the cardboard though - leaving the city waste department the unprofitable job of hauling away the non-cardboard recyclables.
I had recently a (b/s)ad experience with them. I am hosting the demo site for my open source image hosting solution (pictshare) behind cloudflare and had the CASM tool (that searches automatically for child pornography) enabled. Felt safe enough but after a while I noticed a TON of traffic.. like gigabytes an hour through cloudflare

Turned out someone uploaded like 1000 child pornography images to the demo site, cloudflare didn't once send me anything or block an image before being uploaded.

I wrote their support and they pointed me to the abuse form you mentioned (which would had reported the content to myself?)

I thought they'd look into their logs and send interpol the uploaders IP addresses but no, they didn't do anything.

In the end I got interpol and the local BKA (Federal Criminal Police Office) and they were so awesome and I prepared excel sheets for them with all ip addresses and log entries of every consumer and uploader.
Yes, but you can sideload on android and in fact that's just what Epic did with fortnite on android.

Google at the very least can point to that, Apple cannot.
This website is packed with reader hostility. A chat bot to recommend articles to me? Really?
I would assume that as well. In some jurisdictions in the US there is a precedent that when you take your trash out to the curb it is no longer private property, so the cops (and anyone else) can take it and search through it for goodies. I would expect the same rules to apply to recycling bins as well.
I suspect that many kids do not understand the why behind many of the subjects being taught. What intrinsic motivation could they have under these circumstances?
"Though I think of Jira more like a spreadsheet. Very useful once upon a time. Outdated now. Static. Manual."

This statement is so blatantly wrong that it actually put me off even reading the rest. Spreadsheets are stronger than they've ever been and are never going away, let alone being "outdated." Sure there are products that claim to be "the next spreadsheet" but most of those actually serve a different purpose: no-code app dev.
https://theintercept.com/2016/08/19/the-nsa-was-hacked-snowd...

there is proof that NSA has been mass hacking WiFi since at least 2005. that batch of Snowden leaks came out one week after the Shadowbroker's first leak.

NSA programs SECONDDATE and BADDECISION were used to mass hack into WiFi routers in Iraq in 2005-2007. note the slides say NSA breached the WiFi routers of EVERY INTERNET CAFE IN IRAQ. that is the Collect-It-All scale we expect from NSA.

also note, NSA did this FROM THE SKY! SECONDDATE is a sensor installed in Cessna and low flying planes. NSA flew over every WiFi hotspot of every Internet cafe in Iraq and deployed the BADDECISION exploit to install implants on the WiFi routers to then mass surveil everyone.

no futher leaks about BADDECISION have come out. we dont know if it is a protocol attack or crypto exploit. we dont know if WiFi is still vulnerable to BADDECISION.

how much do you want to bet that NSA only used SECONDDATE and BADDECISION in Iraq and NOT back here at home in America?

how much would you bet that NSA is NOT bulk hacking WiFi routers of ENTIRE US CITIES FROM THE AIR?

consider how much cheaper and easier that would be now in 2020 compared to 2005?

A really good explanation of the bow tie method can be found on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpGKHncw-d8

Though I can see it helps in the analysis of a specific event, I feel to grasp how to use it to map risks a priori (in the area of cyber security). The total number of possible threat events run in the billions if you count all the possible threat actors, threats, vulnerabilities and impacts.

In the linked article, "car skids on wet road into tree" is just one event. Well, it could also have blown a tire or hit a cyclist instead. Do I make separate bow tie for each of those events? And how do I add up those risks? Risk/car owners just want to know how safe their car is. How does it help to map all possible failure modes? And if this is not the right method for it, what is?
I think you're talking about "The Gentleman's Guide to Forum Spies[0]" Which for some reason people seem to believe is actually a CIA/Fed document leaked to pastebin (and somehow left there) despite having clearly being written for and within the imageboard community.

Most of what's listed as "disinfo agent" tactics there are the general fallacious and bad faith tactics that go on in almost any forum under heated discourse.

Microservices are by definition stand-alone, independent, and self-contained. That's the whole point of microservices, and one of the reasons why people tolerate the pain that goes with a distributed system.

If your application does not meet any of those requirements then call it something else, as it clearly isn't a microservice.
> (same thing in Germany where you have to pass a cultural test to gain citizenship, imagine such a thing in America! [And no, answering questions about the constitution, the foundational legal document, is not the same thing]).

I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, I kind of like that we're more liberal than Germany or France on this. I don't like how liberals in the U.S. fail to appreciate that fact and think the U.S. is super racist and xenophobic. (I guess if they're comparing against a platonic ideal.)
Lol yes! The fixed floating header, the pop-up modal after a few seconds, the long load time for text/image content...
It's definitely better, but then it's not ZDD is it :)
If you're new to differential privacy and looking for an introduction, I highly recommend the Dwork and Roth book, especially the first three chapters: https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~aaroth/Papers/privacybook.pdf

Frank McSherry also has some good resources if you enjoy his writing style: https://github.com/frankmcsherry/blog/blob/master/posts/2016...

In particular, I think it's important to keep in mind that differential privacy is as much focused on establishing a framework for measuring information leakage as it is coming up with clever algorithms to preserve privacy (although there are a lot of clever algorithms). I think of it as more analogous to big-O notation (a way of measuring) than to dynamic programming (an implementation technique).
To go back to Snap for a second: didn't Linux Mint drop it recently?

I'm not happy on Ubuntu with snap because of what seems to be auto-updates -- maybe it's another thing that's auto-updating?

I use Hugo [0], whose binaries are still < v1.0, and my websites break when they upgrade so I want to do that manually. Imagine my surprise after an update / reboot to see I can't build my sites anymore. This has happened several times.

At least Jira doesn't make popping noises and then show a banner ad that covers the entire page after 10 seconds.
Well, I think nobody really got the punchline, huh?

Mozilla laid off nearly all their engineers – which are the ~250 people, who are A QUARTER of Mozilla. Wait what?

What for do they need so many people? Everybody who is not brainfried by corporate will agree that there are better options. But that is the faith of any organisation getting too big. The bureaucrats are taking over (think Boeing) and eradicate every single occurence of common sense. And of course greed and pride kicks in soon after. Not a single time has management ever fired management.
Yeah. That part is bad and has somehow gotten worse. The animations don't help.

They have a MacOS app now, which I've been meaning to try.
it seems like that would be a reasonable goal, though- a SLO of 99.99% mail-in ballots with postmarks on or before Election Day should be counted.
> performance

By Atlassian’s ToS, you are not allowed to « comment on the performance of the products ». I know no-one thinks this would be enforced here, but I just want to highlight that it doesn’t help a company to improve if they know they can just lawyer-up a problem away and avoid benchmarks and being compared on that topic.
It could be mitigated by alternative infrastructure: better insulation and ventilation, for example passive housing.

Diminish need for air conditioning by adding blinds or other sun shades on the appropriate sides. Use air foils on cargo ships, making them follow trade winds and sea currents (trading polution for increased transit time (increase crew cost)).

Make people commute less (works for white collar jobs, but blue collar?).

Increase veganism.

Look into having agriculture require less chemicals through use of perennials or alternative varieties and crop rotations.

I don't know enough about other industries to do more than yell "electrify all the things" and mandate factories to use renewable electricity, put solar panels on the roof etc...

Launchpad is also objectively more complex and hard to use than alternatives, and subjectively I'd say it's ugly and looks dated. Launchpad isn't probably something people want to use because of product design, and thus there's not much activity around it outside of Canonical.

I think it would be silly to assume that a separate project that is liked wouldn't get traction outside of Canonical because of their experience with Launchpad.
