I've not yet found an experience that matches the interactivity of DataCamp. They don't do simultaneous video and code, but they have helpful code feedback and the video slides are picture-in-picture, which I prefer to having to scroll through a video to lookup code screenshots.

That said, DataCamp had a scandal a few years back and a lot of authors retracted content.

I'll take a look at this.

Except in the retail world, there's competition between stores. Competition is non-existent in the mobile world, there's only two companies and both have the exact same fees and very similar policies.

Reading this makes me grateful for HN and dang.
Two anecdotes on FB Groups:

First, I think the most-missed story about the 2016 election is the role that Groups played in Bernie Sander’s ascendance. The volume of meme content and direct voter contact that I received from Bernie volunteers and passive supporters from just a few major pro Bernie groups alone— ones that I was not even part of— exceeds the volume that I have received from all other campaigns online to date.

Second, in the early days of Groups, FB decided I was a very far right-wing activist and recommended that I join a series of groups agitating for a US military coup. I still have screenshots of it. It eventually got better at guessing my tastes.
> Epic and Spotify are pushing their own walled gardens, they just want to do it with a bigger profit margin.

There is absolutely no problem with that because it cures the one and only walled garden problem. If they implement a subpar walled garden, it will be up to the users to exercise choice on using them, which they currently can't.

This is the core of the opponent processes of markets. It is irrelevant to demand ideological purity from opponents, what matters is the resulting dynamics their actions create, in this case creating a previously non-existing competition space on iOS app installs.
Housing affordability: a framing, synthesis of research and policy, and future
It's pretty refreshing to see a republican admitting their party has dialed politics to 11.

I agree that a discussion over the merits of democracy is currently taking place. I _don't_ think merely questioning the electoral college counts as suspicion of democracy itself. I know many argue that the problem with the electoral college is in fact that it is _less_ democratic by some definition of the word.
these conclusions seem to depend almost entirely on the freedom house scale -- who can explain more about what that is? it seems to be a ranking, so is it objective and robust enough to fit this analysis, espscially over time? a cursory look at wikipedia makes it look like an arms length extension of the CIA...
Also, when I had an AMD Athlon, 2D games up to 1024x768 ran pretty fast. Now it's impossible to keep up with 1280x768 on some 2D games (non-3D) on an AMD Turion.

No, not a SAR. A Large Transaction Report. A SAR is if it's suspicious.

If you ever move $10,000 into our out of your bank account, a report is filed with your country's FinInt agency. Every time. It has whatever ID numbers you gave when you opened the bank account, everything else they know about you, and where the money moved from and to.

In Canada (and maybe the US as well?), this also includes large cash transactions with currency converters, casinos, and jewelry stores- because people kept finding new tricks for moving around money.

Edit: And this is why leaking these things is super serious! There's a lot of personal information in them!

I am trying to see how different this device is compared to sound amplifiers marketed as 'miracle hearing aids' found in any ecommerce site. The last thing HN wants is to fall victim to an advertorial disguised as a scientific discovery.

I would be very careful about considering any actions that Facebook, in particular, takes to be accidental. From the very beginning, intentional recklessness ("Move fast and break things") has been their credo.

When you're being reckless on purpose, none of the damage you create is accidental.
What is wrong is that somehow we believe that if you set up a system where the end goal is growth by any means necessary unless explicitly disallowed by law is the moral thing to do it'll turn out any different.

I understand and fully agree with the damage that social media contributes to radicalization and extremism.

However I think the safeties they place on this are going to contribute to regulatory capture. Facebook has already benefited from policies as is, changes that put a substantial cost on new media companies will just further aid in Facebooks "clone, advertise and usurp" behaviours.

This is certainly a great improvement in the license! Kudos to TimescaleDB.

I wonder if the new license allows us to offer services on top of TimescaleDB in a multi-tenant setting. GitLab.com has metric monitoring https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/operations/metrics/ and we're considering using TimescaleDB to store these. We would not offer direct access to the database.

The relevant section in the license https://www.timescale.com/legal/licenses seems to be the prohibition to "provide any form of software-as-a-service or service offering in which the TSL Licensed Software is offered or made available to third parties to provide time-series database functions or operations, other than as part of Your Value Added Products or Services".

I'm not sure if metrics count as time-series database functions or operations.
Many new open source companies, like Timescale, Cockroach Labs are going with a managed cloud service offering as their business model. Even RethinkDB pivoted in that direction, although too late in the game for them to survive. So one could make an open-source license specifically reserving that freedom for the creators only.

There are probably other business models one could try to protect. The basic idea I think is give as much freedom as possible while also providing some protection for specific use cases that allow the creators to be compensated for their work. It benefits nobody if you create a wild west of freedoms that deny creators a way to finance their work.

Half of my audience is on your favorite device. I didn't have to pay for them before Apple sunk their claws in.

Even if there wasn't a tax, the lack of freedom is what really gets me. Apple built itself atop open source. They leveraged it to gain control over 40% of the CPUs used by consumers. Now we can't run code for these people.

I applaud their privacy stance. But freedom to run software is a separate issue.
I agree with first part but not with second. If you recognize bad faith argument and treat it as such, you can show why it is bad faith. If you don't recognize it that way, you will argue circles or leave implied lies unaddressed.
And if you want to install whichever apps you want, AND not be spied on by your OS, there are basically no options.

Linageos is a possibility, but with the play services situation, running any mainstream app without phoning home to google is if not impossible, extremely difficult and filled with footguns.

If OP is still not abandoning the project, they should add a Storybook addon as it does sound somewhat useful. My question would be how do we decide what adoption metrics we want. How do we identify places that a component could/should be used? The usage numbers alone don't seem incredibly useful, except to point out components that have low or no usage.

Regardless, "Bleeding-edge tech will kill your startup" is not a good title for the article. The actual article title (maybe it was updated) is a bit better- "Bleeding edge tech means you'll bleed to death". But most people here are miffed that neither title makes it obvious that the article is about selling bleeding edge tech.
> None of these companies want that, nor are they working toward that.

Being able to choose to run whatever you want on your own device is a necessary first step to opening up app stores to competition.

They support the ideal because it's the only way to get what they want. It's a mistake to assume that since they are doing it for their own benefit that we all can't benefit as well.
No, you are correct, it's just complicated and broad applications of afforestation will require very accurate modeling. The perceived benefit will depend on what timescale you care about.

Changing the albedo and local transpiration has an immediate effect (which can be positive or negative, depending on the existing albedo, downstream effects, etc). CO2 sequestration, on the other hand, takes time.

If you plant trees, let them grow for 30 years, then remove a high fraction of that carbon from the cycle (e.g. lumber), then the break-even point can be pretty short (decades, probably, but I don't have a good number). This will depend on a lot of climate feedback effects, like heat leaking out of your forest through moisture evaporation (which otherwise would have been shed back into space), what the existing carbon uptake rate was of the location you planted (did you replace scrubland, grassland, desert, ...?), etc.

If your permanent sequestration is primarily due to carbon cycle efficiency loss, maybe multiply that timescale by a factor of 10-50.
you don't need to have a literal monopoly to engage in illegal anticompetitive behaviour, nor is having a monopoly even illegal. Apple has monopoly-like control over the mobile app market - if you don't make an iPhone app, your product is dead in the water. and apple is using that power to crush any competition to their own in-app payment solution.
If the beef you're eating was raised on a deforested area (anything from a big fast-food chain almost certainly was) then that's still pretty unethical though. I agree it doesn't mean that beef is inherently unethical. But people will need to be willing to accept higher prices in order to make it ethical.
Why are you, tech-savvy users, forcing Apple to allow third-party app stores/installations, which would no doubt lead to malware like we see on Windows, Macs, and Android?

I and my software friends/colleagues might be capable of avoiding this malware (assuming you don’t consider Zoom and such to be malware), but my family and everyone else I know are not. I suspect 70+% of the user base could easily be tricked into installing malware that would spam them with sex notifications, hijack their search engine, etc.
The app is fantastic! I can see this becoming something big in the next 2-3 years.
This is a bizarre definition of monopoly that, if it were applied to any other industry, would turn common sense on its head. If Amazon runs its retail operations at a small loss, is it now less of a monopoly than a boutique retailer with big margins but < 1% of the market share?
What's the max number of tables this has been tested with?
This is so true! We were told 8k, Costco got us a top of the line set with all of the features the other set had for less than 2k for the set. Costco made a customer for life out of that deal. They do glasses as well, though I haven't used them for that and don't know if the discounts are as good or not.

"illusion"? It's relative security.

On the iphone, if I buy a used phone and a scammer has popped a cheapo battery in to show no battery life slow down - apple alerts me (also unpopular on HN BTW).

If I buy an android phone from most carriers, their "security" involved pre-loading it with unremovable adware and tracking apps. This is more secure - are you serious?

The google play store has less malware? The permissions process for android apps has been terrible.

With apple, I can now give apps access to specific photos in my camera roll, it works great. It alerts me to folks doing background tracking and makes it easy to turn off (even after I said yes earlier).

What's nuts is that developers don't understand why consumers benefit or like this and want the DOJ to blow open this little bubble of sanity so they can push their crapware through or their auto-billing app stores through.
Wav2vec 2.0: Learning the structure of speech from raw audio
> is either pushed back by at least a day (multiple days if issues are found),

Which is better than issues making it to production -- presumably what would have happened if you didn't have the tests.

> OR there's code running in production that hasn't run through e2e tests yet.

This situation should never occur except if there's a production emergency causing immediate loss of revenue. Even then, the proper answer is usually to roll back to a known-good version.

> I'm assuming you're running these e2e tests against a branch that's up to date with the latest master. What happens if I have 4 PRs I need to merge - they all might pass tests when run against the current master but as soon as I merge one, the other 3 haven't technically been tested with master anymore, so I'll have to re-run e2e, which pushes everything back by another day (per PR)?

The way releases should work is that periodically you cut a release in a new release branch. After that, further changes to master don't affect the release. All the e2e tests need to run against the release branch before it can be deployed. It should be deployed immediately to your test realm and given time to soak. If bugs are found, minimal fixes should be made against master and then cherry-picked into the release branch, followed by a rerun of tests and redeployment to the test realm. You should aim for a zero-cherry-pick situation. Do this by enabling features and changes via configuration rather than via binary changes.

Once the release branch reaches the appropriate level of stability, it should be gradually rolled out, zone by zone, to production. Zones should have some soak time before further zones are touched. The response to production anomalies should be a roll back to the previous version.

This applies to big, complex services that are mission-critical. For small, less critical services, a daily/push-on-green type of approach might be fine. But for such services testing should be much easier and it shouldn't be a huge imposition to run all tests before each release.
The amount of blindness I'm seeing from companies on both sides of this fight about how to handle their optics is kind of staggering.

One of Apple's core arguments for why they need this kind of control is privacy. If someone is launching what is essentially a PR campaign against Apple, one of the first things to do is to make sure the website doesn't have any appearance of violating people's privacy.

do you mean selling software?

On a slightly different note, I'm curious about how much of the change in your experience of the internet comes down to a change in its user base. I'm not sure when this happened, but I think the vast majority of internet users now consists of people who don't care about these issues at all, for better or for worse.
Who is imposing views in this situation? You don't have to use Apple devices as your platform either. Most likely you use it because you benefit from it. Especially these companies that get huge profits from it. The platform was provided to them under certain conditions that they are free to reject at any moment and to walk away if they find that they will benefit more from that decision.

The phone still worked fine to unlock/drive the car over direct bluetooth to your phone as long as you don't sign out of the app; you just couldn't access the extended functionality or log back in manually (see: activate a new phone) during the outage.

This is not true, they all take a cut, please provide proof of an app/game on one of these platforms not taking a cut if you are going to make a claim like that. It's ~30% but it can vary.
Thanks for releasing these under a permissive license (though you might consider dual licensing under Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) as well).

There are a few icons oddly missing from an otherwise rather well-rounded set; for example, you have "play" "pause" & "stop" , but no "record", "volume-up" & "volume-off" but no "volume-down", "copy" but no "cut" or "paste".
If she likes watching on a TV, the Apple TV can talk to bluetooth audio devices. Have never tried it, but it would probably be able to talk to the hearing aids directly.
There is no doubt that there's a lot wrong with social media, such as spreading fake information, privacy, etc...

Maybe they should have some king of regulation specific to them.

But I fail to see how making your product as addictive as you can, without breaking laws, is terrible. I mean, no one is forced to create a FB/TW/IG profile, as far as I know.

I'm not defending Social Networks, or saying that a case against them should not be made, I'm just saying that I can't get behind the "your product is too adictive" argument.

Just my two cents. Maybe I'm missing something right now that will force me to change my mind later.
