The behavior demonstrated by the mob is utterly abhorrent, and we should all oppose it as vigorously as possible.

But the "suggestions" section is not constructive.

> When these events happen to your employees, are you investing actual money to support them?

I'm sorry, but you don't even know the human beings on my team.

> It's easy to dismiss these trolls as incel 4channers that we shun and don't associate with. Lol no. These are your people. They work at your companies and write your code. They are harassing or doxxing your other employees. This toxic behavior is still very much a part of your tech culture, and you keep rewarding it.

Well, after building an airtight case for incredibly gross behavior on the part of the mob, you lost me completely. The implication is that "incel 4channers" are mainstream programmers. They are not. Not even close. I have worked with hundreds, and not one of them is like this. This is the vocal minority that the internet enables to speak out of proportion to their numbers, and make us all miserable. And the phenomenon of a vocal malignant minority is present in every domain, so why are we making this about our colleagues in the tech community?

No normal adult with a job, maybe a family, maybe a pet, and a million other things to do has time for this. They are either children, or bitter social and emotional pariahs.

I'm extremely sorry this talented programmer had to deal with them, but becoming bitter only fuels their sense of importance.

The best revenge is living well.
I don't think it has anything to do with millionaires. Satellite internet has demand. It will happen no matter what.
What we need is a global regulation for satellite brightness. It was never truly a problem until now, and sadly, these type of legislation tend to happen after the problem already arose instead of anticipating it.

The sky will probably be screwed for a while until we have a global standard.
Yes, need multiple ISPs so the national restrictions would cancel each other.
> Why would you want to?

Because they catch more bugs than unit tests, are easier for our product team to understand, and rarely break when refactoring.

Even a simple business flow like registering a new user will touch half a dozen systems.

5 or 6 integration tests can cover this flow far better than 100 unit tests.

> and be smaller easier to understand/change tests

That’s not my experience at all.

Unit tests are generally much harder to understand and need to be changed much more frequently.

Where unit tests help in my experience is:

A) in pinpointing where in a complex bit of logic the bugs are.

B) for generic libraries and building blocks where you don’t know exactly how your users will actually use them.
In case you're reading the comments first, Linus isn't actually building Torvold's actual PC for him, he's building a PC with the same specs as Torvold's.
This model also seems to ignore data deletion, which is a huge concern for any serious business of any size.

You can’t have users’ personal data lingering in a soup of opaque cloud continuations for months. There needs to be a way to strongly commit deletions and audit that the data is gone. And once you build that on top of the “Internet Computer”, my guess is that it will look disappointingly like a very slow ordinary database.
Author of the fork here. Yes I'm awared of this issue, and I've submitted a patch to emacs-devel that enables sandboxing, hopeful it get merged soon.
Is is because it is waiting for a multi digit input? You can try to enter 01 for preset 1 or 001 depending on how many presets your TV has.
Sounds somewhat familiar, but the difference to programmed learning (at least as discussed in that article) is that the book contained error paths as well as the happy path.
Boris Johnson blames 'mutant algorithm' for exams fiasco
I wonder if, instead of having two different layouts and changing between them, an alternative would be to put all the navigation keys at fifth level and above, and then hijack the Kanji modifier to switch to them, or maybe pretend you're a Far East keyboard and use Eisu_toggle.
Let's just go back to being ruled by kings and queens and having to do whatever job our last name is while we're at it.
AFAIK the genome of the virus has been analysed to the point where it has been determined that it could not have been engineered in a lab.

In theory construction costs of taller buildings are higher, in practice housing prices far exceed cost of construction everywhere. Some rich people buy luxury apartments as second or third apartments but don't live in them.

None of these are enough to make the entire cities more expensive to live in but they are highly visible so those who need to justify their selfish actions (preventing housing) seek deniable plausibility in them.
This essay almost perfectly describes Debian's commitment and policy toward its users, specified through the Debian Social Contract, "We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free software community. We will place their interests first in our priorities
(https://www.debian.org/social_contract), in the structures defined by the Debian Constitution (https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution), following the practices defined in the Debian Policy Manual (https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/), via the mechanisms of Debian's packaging infrastructure and package management system.

This is much misunderstood (and misunderestimated). It's not perfect or automatic. But it's worked remarkably well for over a quarter century.

Ian, you made a damned good thing and you are missed.
> WinRAR seems to have added additional compression formats and algorithms, like 7zip and XZ: https://www.rarlab.com/otherfmt.htm

For decompression only. 7zip can work with these too. In fact 7zip (unlike winrar) can even create some of them.
> Very funny, as I've been writing code to production since 2016, despite not being a skilled developer.

I'm sorry... what?? I find this utterly confusing. Why are unskilled devs at GitHub allowed to push code to production?
I looked at NUCs and settled for a used ThinkPad. Integrated keyboard, monitor, mouse and battery, and potentially even more judicious with power consumption, but oomphy enough to run image recognition on my photo collection while hosting lots of dockers. Backup to a local NAS that I only switch on during the backup window, and backup remotely to backblaze B2.
Names that went unpopular also include Katrina, Isis and.. Adolf https://www.huffpostbrasil.com/entry/unpopular-baby-names_n_...

It's a shame that Isis (the Egyptian goddess) is now associated to the Islamic State. It's a beautiful name.
Where are you getting the 800 ms latency though? That's what Geo stationary satellite internet provides due to the physical distance they have to operate at (35786KM), but Starlink and OneWeb and other mega constellations are operating at 550KM which easily gets you below 100ms and likely close to 30 ms without sat to sat comms.
I believe it would be difficult to further prevent this from happening since there is so much more demand for global, low-latency wireless internet than for astronomical observations.
Commerce was a thing before Facebook. It will be a thing after.
So—because you're used to worse abuse you think it's fine others are subjected to abuse? It seems like you're just opting out of any social responsibility.
I think you can argue on the whole is a waste, but I do believe it does have some advantages. EG efficient HFTs can reduce bid ask spreads which does save a lot of money for retail traders.

Browser extension that tells you if a Steam game is included with Xbox Game Pass
Thanks, that was much more informative and better explanation of situation in Belarus than I have read anywhere else. Also shorter. I wonder if that is related to the fact that you are not trying to show ads together with that.

> You can't even do something as simple as set up an S Corp in the US if you are foreign.

This is your idea of doing something simple? You can set up other kinds of corporation like LLC at least. Are other countries less restrictive? Seems like kind of a messy legal situation either way.

In Mexico it's really hard to buy property as a foreigner. It used to be you could not own coastal property at all, not sure if still true.
> Those trolls or “kids” as few people names them, are in most cases HN target audience. :)

Not that I've spent a meaningful amount of time on any "chan", but based on my limited understanding just reducing HN and 4chan into "tech sites" is insufficient.

Again, the flaggings are the obvious signal of what interests people here. Why enforce arbitrary moderation on top?
What I'm concerned about is how much the launching of tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of satellites will affect our ability to launch things out of orbit. Launch windows are already very precisely calculated, and the more junk we put in orbit the harder that will become.
Between the Selectric and the Model F was another IBM keyswitch design known variously as the "Beam Spring" or "Keyboard B" which was much closer to the Selectric in feel. It even used the same keycaps as the Selectric. The Model F was introduced as easier to manufacture and more compact.

See: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Beam_spring
The bigger question is what's the total capacity that is shared by a single neighborhood/city. For example - does this mean that a small city can only use 42Mbps down across all receivers?
Indeed. When you Google for "React/Vue/Ember D3", the tutorials always use the DOM manipulation layer of D3. But every front-end framework already comes with a great reactive system to ensure the DOM is in sync with the data. And those are a lot easier to use than D3's in my opinion.

The only tutorial that doesn't do this and that "gets" it is one by Amelia Wattenberger: https://wattenberger.com/blog/react-and-d3. I recommend this tutorial to understand how to use D3 in React.
I read your FAQ:

> Can I get a refund?
> Because we don’t sell physical products that can be returned, we can’t give you a refund either.

Also in your Terms:
> 05. Cancelations Or Returns
> No returns on downloaded or emailed fonts or software. Due to the nature of online font or software sales, the customer shall not be entitled to cancel any order which has been accepted by Animography. At the time of downloading the font or software, the font or software shall be deemed to have been opened and therefore accepted as non-returnable goods.

... Note that I am definitely not a lawyer. However, I think you need to be more careful with your use of language here. The EU Consumer Rights Directive[1] includes special provisions for return, replacement and/or refunds on digital downloads, which your advice seems to be ignoring. In the UK, the Act implementing the Directive seems to make the right to a refund (under specific circumstances) pretty explicit[2].

Hope the feedback helps.

What is the lifetime of a SpaceX satellite?

Judging from their high launch cadence, it seems satellite-satellite communication was just a means to excite the fanboys and motivate their employees, the same way the peddle the Mars stuff.
Show HN: Eleventy blog template to manage agile web development
I wanted a self-hosted solution to manage an agile development workflow so I built this eleventy starter template for a static site blog / agile tool.

It’s blogging + agile development + git

Nothing fancy, just markdown files and metadata tags. Easily view and manage a backlog of stories.

Might be worth checking it out if you want something to help manage your work.

Very unlikely to break over time because of software dependencies / upgrades.

I really wonder what interests you represent to voice such an opinion.

Democracy isn't a panacea to the world's problems. It needs an informed population in order to function, which directly and without discrimination means government transparency. The process of opinion building needs to be taught in schools, and journalists need to be protected from interference.

Without these pieces and more in place there is no democracy. Very few countries actually are democratic in practice. The fight for freedom and democracy is ongoing, and those who get in its way are misanthropes who deserve a bitter end to their efforts.
Very well, in that case, which symmetric encryption algorithm would you say has an acceptable security margin?
At least one Putin cried reading "...Belarus, sometimes called Europe’s last dictatorship". Of course, unless you consider Russia as a Chinese posession already, technically making it one of Asian dictatorships.
These thousands of publishers also, unwittingly or not, provide a third party way for facebook to track its users as they journey across the web.

I agree that it sucks for ad-supported sites to lose out. An ad model that doesn't require user tracking would be beneficial for these sites and their users.
Steam is still the main store I visit and I often realize really late that some game I am interested by are included with Xbox Game Pass. So I built a browser extension to have that information right in Steam.

I was happy to find out that many of the games in my wishlist are included with Xbox Game Pass :)
Has pricing been indicated anywhere?

Edit: See https://www.inverse.com/innovation/spacex-starlink-heres-how... and https://www.zdnet.com/article/spacex-starlink-internet-prepa...

So about $80 pm. That's pretty good imo.
Weren't the svelte files when compiled to JS much smaller in size compared to using React? Wouldn't that be a significant advantage?
Yes, for me it’s obvious signal that most of them was hurt by this. It’s not about interest.
So you say this idea was born by the company and not some human ambition? How did Amazon the company, or SpaceX the company come up with this? Nothing to do with Bezos and Musk for sure?
Nothing specific, I think they are still figuring that out, but Gwynne Shotwell, the president of Spacex, is hinting a bit I think with:

> Shotwell said millions of people in the U.S. pay $80 per month to get “crappy service.” She didn’t say whether Starlink will cost more or less than $80 per month but suggested that would be a segment of the public the company would target as well as rural areas that currently have no connectivity.
I love D3. I tried plenty of other higher level libraries but very quickly you run into customization issues. So for Backtest (https://backtest.curvo.eu/), I moved all the charts to D3. It's a bit lower level and was more work to set up initially, but now I'm in full control and can easily extend any chart. D3 is a great piece of software!

But it's not that useful even if you pour a glass cube over the whole exchange to slow it down.
In unrelated news the cost of launching a space telescope (that doesn't suffer from atmospheric perturbations or cloud cover) has decreased by several orders of magnitude.
I always felt Math use data structures and algorithms. Properties of whatever you manipulate let you have some sort of known structure with proven theorems, then you use these theorems one after an other until you get to where you maybe "want" to be .
Yes, because we designed the internet and web "wrong".
I've commented with my opinion on this, here on HN, before. In my opinion, the world should have two internets: the current internet, and a "safe for life" internet.

The former would serve as a staging area and playground for new features. Just as the internet does today, it would provide, roughly speaking, no accountability and no security. My guess is that its main audience would be high-school seniors and college-age kids. In addition, you'd have a minority of techies, and — yes — some vile wingnuts.

The "safe for life" internet's network-layer would have baked-in authentication (eg: part of your IP is a user-id). It would have a protocol for notarization (ie: the ability to have a third party vouch for information. eg: the choice to tie your real name to your user-id, or remain pseudonymous). Its "web" markup would be far simpler and more semantic (no per-site styles, no dynamic features, no scripting).

When someone invents a very useful web feature/paradigm on the old internet/web, the new internet's web-standard could add special tags to support it. So, for example, the NewW3C could introduce a set of "store-front" tags with which one could create an entire online-store without any scripting. The NewW3C would include all sorts of functionality, eg: tags to host a Twitch-like site to stream video, with no JS whatsoever.

With this sort of accountability, the alternate internet would finally provide the ability to effectively moderate — bad actors wouldn't easily "respawn" a sockpuppet or bot account, to evade a ban. It would make commerce and data-sharing much safer (via the lack of dynamic features).

The situation today is absurd. What content do we want the web to promote: interesting photos of Japanese food, by a serious developer... or hackneyed ramblings by a bunch of 20-year old trolls? The internet we have today is "wrong" for most people.
Light in vacuum is only faster if it goes in a straight line from point A to B, not if it zig-zags across 50 satellites.
Seems like the perfect use case for Vantablack. Of course the satellites will still block ER as they pass across the sky, but at least if they aren't reflecting so much light it would surely be of some help?
Millionaires are individuals; spacex and oneweb are companies.

Rich people aren't the problem themselves, a lack of regulation and taxation is. In this case, the FTC (iirc) can just approve spacex launching tens of thousands of satellites. This is weird because space is either international - so should be regulated internationally - or sovereign, the bits passing over other countries.

But the world is busy with other shit than space legislation right now so eh.
I have noticed this too. It is very odd. I suppose everybody walking around with 2 cameras and a microphone in their pocket with widespread high-speed Internet connectivity is too much of a chance to miss for some institutions / agencies!
Actually, maybe it'll provide data that personalized adds aren't that much more effective.
I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that we are at the beginning of a war and we have a Commander-in-Chief who lacks the intellect, attention span, or perhaps even work ethic required just to utter a coherent sentence.

Fairphone’s new flagship, the 3, costs just €70 as a modular upgrade
This is an english forum connected to a California venture firm that frequently discusses American tech companies and their workplaces, so of course you're going to find conversations about things relevant to that here.

I find it weird to see this when I rarely see comments so strongly arguing that a subject is too US-centric for HN in threads about stuff like the San Francisco housing market, American workplaces, or other aspects of online sites.
There's little to suggest the algorithm didn't work as designed, but rather that the people building it at best didn't care about the problems. That's a people problem then, not a "mutant" algorithm problem.
And hitting the back button sends you to the linked page.
The article covers the mitigations already in place and how they only partially resolve the issue. These satellites are low, bright (at dawn/dusk) and very soon to be incredibly numerous.

Yes, it is possible for data workflows to post-process these streaks away, but not all configurations allow this, and whereas previous intrusions were somewhat rare and could be ignored that simply won't be the case due to three companies from one country.

This is cost turned into an "externality" and foisted upon astronomers--at every scale of investment--all over the world. Stock holders in these companies won't pay for it, but tax payers everywhere will pay for the mitigations. Not cool. This is a hill I'll die on.
This is all so true.

Updates are a crutch for the software developer (us). If you want to ship on a certain date you can punt your feature/bug backlog to v2. As a user if you download a Day 0 release of something you pretty much don't expect it to work well anymore. Oh and it's impossible to own software these days. Everything is a subscription.

I miss the days when video games came with all the levels in the box and when I could buy software for a one-time fee and then master the version I downloaded. I used Photoshop CS3 for years and years, I wasn't interested in what the new version could do I had barely scratched the surface.

As someone who ships updates to software weekly I am definitely part of the problem though...
Ah, of course! That must be the reason.
Conversely, your entire statement could be said about Google or Facebook surely???

Thought-provoking for sure. I suppose we are all bystanders in these commercial battles and I am not sure we all win. Sorry times.
Maybe, but if you fix your comments on skin color your are as racist as those peoples. Even she makes that error, attributes a comment to East Asian and later call it White Supremacy, the most extreme racism i saw in the past was in Africa, second India third Russia.
It's going to be very interesting for me. I plan to live on a sailing yacht and travel the world permanently, StarLink will make my working options a lot more flexible. Presently people are forced to see out their contracts over potentially dodgy marina WiFi.

The regulatory situation might get quite complicated I think, for example if you're in international waters, connected to the internet by a global ISP whose infrastructure is also outside of territorial limits then whose regulations do you have to comply with (besides your clients)? What's stopping the likes of Google poaching the concept of Radio Caroline, planting a datacentre somewhere in the North Sea and raising a two-fingered salute to any sort of data protection laws?
It's actually marginally faster than mine - UK town in the north also.
I can periodically see with the naked eye what appear to be "moving stars" (about the same approximate brightness as an average star), and appearing to orbit the earth (moving in a "straight" line across the sky).

Can I assume that these are satellites?
