My baseless armchair speculative fear, with absolutely zero knowledge of this field or technology, is if some of the new hair cells could maybe somehow not fully "sync with" or complement the existing set and perhaps just make you hear "differently" but not necessarily better, and perhaps even worse in some contexts, depending on what % of your existing hair cells were healthy.

I have no clue if that has any remote basis in reality, though. And perhaps your brain would eventually learn to sort it all out, so maybe any increased sensory sensitivity would generally be a net plus either way, once enough time passes.
They can be a bit arcane for in parts (like EventGroups, etc), but mostly they're straightforward enough to work through. ESP-IDF actually provides better documentation of various FreeRTOS functions than the FreeRTOS docs though! P.S. I'm testing other parts of the Nesper API, and some are giving me trouble, so I'll try and start posting their on-board testing status.
thus the winking emoji. thank you for reminding me that I need to watch Russian Ark again though!
This sounds like a terrible move and will probably force all medium-size organizations I work with to ditch Atlassian.

We have the technical know-how to administer data center versions of their products, but we can’t do shit if they force potential customers to pay for a minimum of 40 000 USD for a license per product.

Many of these orgs have multiple Atlassian products so this will probably end up doubling costs on several products at the same time effectively making it a money sink and impossible to justify to their budgeting.

I would have been perfectly OK with DC taking over server with similar pricing, but this is just a monumentally idiotic greed-driven move.

Now small-medium-large organizations are either forced to pay A LOT of money for self-hosting their highly protected data or either use their cloud. The latter is out of question for almost all of the organisations I know.

If I was a Microsoft or another enterprise tech company I’d hire a thousand engineers tomorrow to develop a Jira/Confluence competitor before the grace period for server licenses ends. All that engineering money will pay itself back whent they can sell modern collab tools without tech debt from 15 years ago for a price we can tolerate.
I don't disagree, but starting in electron is going to make your life much more difficult. Well engineered electron-based code may still be slower than shoddy C++

As an example, I've been playing with web frameworks recently. Asp.net running on dotnet core is roughly 10 times faster than node running express. While well engineered js might not get much slower, you'll never close that gap.
there are a lot of reasons why grindr would not want to do that. grindr is not tinder and it's not okcupid a BIG part of the service is providing psuedonymity to it's users. attitudes about homosexuality in the us and especially internationally make it a pretty significant liability for a service to start 'outing' people. if you can be ID'ed in the US you can be ID'ed in singapore or chechnya. and even besides that there's a great degree of cultural complexity at play and even in 'tolerant' places many men are discreet because they don't want to be branded as a fag. if i ran grindr i would've made the same call
Often you don't even have to go threw inter satellite links, often it makes more sense to go down to the closes base stations. Specially if those base stations are right on the roof or next to the datacenters of the major companies. SpaceX base stations will likely be colocated with exchanges and that is also where many caches are (Netflix, Google and so on).

Even if you use inter satellite links, Starlink has many links and can schedule the path depending on demand on the network.

I'm not sure what you are even arguing, its very likely possible to get 1Gb, if SpaceX will over this, or only over it for limited time for extra price is clearly jet unknown. But saying 'current GEO satellites don't offer it so Starlink will not' simply doesn't work as an argument.

> harder meaning never been done at those rates

So nobody has done it so its not possible? That the worst argument ever. Laser link technology is at the very beginning. I think SpaceX had enough of 'experts' claiming things aren't possible even when physics doesn't at all show this to be the case.

Science has been in “replication crisis” for a decade.Have we learned anything?
Yeah, site operators will exert editorial control. This is quite a pertinent example.

I think Popehat is great, sometimes, but I also like HN's anti-snark guidelines because it brings the conversation up a level. Would I have made the same choice as dang today? Maybe not. Do I appreciate his transparency? Yes. Do I agree that it fits with the site guidelines? Yes.

As for the comments... I've read them a few times throughout the day. And lemme tell ya, folks are rarely responding to the Popehat article. But, given that the Popehat article was essentially a bunch of links to other articles after a couple of snarky paragraphs framing the issue, that's not too bad. At least one dead comment was griping about Popehat. Womp womp.

Was the change made without the explicit consent of every user? Um... Yes. But what entitles us to that level of control over HN? This isn't a direct democracy, it's a news aggregator. This site also allows us to edit our comments, without the explicit consent of every person who responds to them.

Would it be appropriate to sue HN into oblivion over this? Please, oh please, no.
owner of hard disk =/= owner of information on it. Anything less, means all the data you store on AWS automatically belongs to Amazon to do with as they please.
They always have the option of allowing everything and ignoring emails -- something the dcma doesn't offer.
When you put a certain license on your freely redistributed code, the assumption is that you're doing it it with your eyes open, and agree with all the ramifications.

Free software which requires a copyright notice to be retained in the source, but has no restrictions on run-time can be used in exactly that way: someone builds it, modifies it to taste and puts it into operation in such a way that your name does not appear anywhere.

You don't necessarily want that. Do you want some AWS customers contacting you about issues with it because they found your name?

What is legal coincides with what is right, because the developers had every opportunity to choose a license which exactly reflects what they think is right. It's a reasonable assumption is that they did exactly that.
Forcing salary adjustment for relocation after the employee works for you is totally different. There’s no “market wage” at that point - there’s no such thing as “another candidate already with X years of internal experience” working at your current wage. The person’s current wage is, by definition, the market wage. Reducing it to match a competitive rate for new hires in that geographical region does not make sense, you’re telling someone paid market wage (for them, for the value they currently provide you, which is not a function of their location) to suddenly take a pay cut because a theoretical new hire from that region (who is not a substitutable alternative for this person) might take a lower wage.

Your objection makes no sense.
> Some terminal emulators strip control codes (like \\n) from pastes for this reason. Alacrity and konsole do this, at least.

I can paste newlines just fine in both alacritty and konsole, so I'm not sure what you mean. With support for Bracketed Paste Mode, all that needs to be stripped from the pasted content is the end-paste escape sequence.

Perhaps they stripped newlines before adding Bracketed Paste Mode. That must've been quite some time ago, though.

The ape part of the human brain cares intensely about joining a tribe, any tribe that it can identify with and be part of, and then blindly being loyal to it, while cheering the downfall of all other tribes.

If you let yourself go into the fiction of sports teams, and don't think about it too much, you can have very strong (and hopefully positive) emotional experiences.
This may be a meta answer, but I think it's not really about the race most of the time.

It's either about childhood memories of seeing it, remembering your friends that are far away, or having deep technical knowledge about the cars or something like that.

I used to think I didn't really like sports until I started going to bars to see Starcraft II matches. I still have good memories about it and my friends back then.

And sure, some sports have more action than others, but at the end of the day, people have feelings and sports can deeply affect people. That's not a very logical answer, but I hope others can vouch that it sorta makes sense.

Is this a similar type of standard Professional Engineers are held to? I'm sure they don't, e.g. design every member of a bridge and do the stress calculations by themselves, but when it comes time to certify the design, the PE (and the PE alone, if I understand the way it works correctly, regardless of how many people worked on the drafts) is the one upon whom the entirety of the blame lies should the bridge collapse.
Keep checking HN for the next week. I hope we see some good alternatives.
It used to be more exciting.

Overtaking is particularly exciting but there is less of it now, because being behind another car means turbulence and modern cars are too aerodynamically sensitive. Also, nowadays a few big teams dominate and there is no hope for the underdog.

Even now, though, playing a racing game will make it clear how difficult it is to drive these cars and that makes the boring parts of the race more compelling to watch.
With every halfway decent engineer you personally know, go compete in a major competition he won by himself in his early 20s and then repeat your statement. The archives are all online, take your time.
> It’s probably not against the law and the situation you have described is a valid method to establishing lawful basis under the GDPR. It’s really not all about “consent” - we hear that too much.

Various data protection authorities have concurred that forced consent isn't consent. For consent to be valid, it needs to be freely given, informed, and not tied to the provision of a service, such that provision is dependent on unrelated consent.

There's also restrictions on consent being used where there are imbalances of bargaining power (so for example, consent isn't a valid legal basis for processing data at all in an employer/employee scenario due to the imbalance. Another legal basis is needed).

One area of interest in future would be how the imbalance of power could be interpreted - consumers generally can't negotiate anything with any internet company (unlike negotiation with small businesses), and in many cases companies can hold them hostage until they consent (if Google won't let you into your email until you consent to something, that's clearly coercive and abuse of power). When regulators finally learn to move faster, it will be interesting to see how widely this can be applied - could it even extent to a company which holds a monopoly status in a market, due to lack of meaningful choice? I think it could.

In any case, the smart money is on not relying on consent as a legal basis unless you have no other option - it's the least durable basis, and can be revoked at any time.
This is entirely because they had to fork their product and codebase between cloud and on-prem, and their resulting total failure on execution on their internal product roadmap.
Atlasssian has demonstrated a chronic inability over the past few years to maintain feature parity between what are effectively two different products.
Atlasssian has had a really, really terrible feature execution delivery pace over the past few years - "Next-Gen Projects" were so immature at launch they were useless, and have been incredibly slow to mature.

So they need to focus their developers onto building features on the Cloud product codebase, but I am not hopeful that this means they'll actually ship features faster.
The problem comes from the body not representing the will of the people. Obviously if some tyrannical standards board made malicious standards no one would actually feel any need to obey, but then of course that's the inherent problem of language standards boards. Either the board simply describes what's already said, or it doesn't, and either way it's useless.
That's viewing it from an engineering point of view. Bezos was viewing it from a business point of view. He wanted a way to allocate memory on the internet, the details are for the engineers to figure out.
I actually have a large social life outside of work, far more than the majority of folk I work with. Unfortunately that's all gone atm and unlikely to return until covid is completely over.

As to space, co working isn't the same as an office and having an home office requires moving and spending a lot of money. Many of us don't have expensive commutes that offset that cost
I don’t share the same experiences with slowness (maybe we do something right on the instances we manage). I do however experience slowness in cloud. I assume they increase cloud resources in some kinds of steps that make them appear extremely sluggish.
I'm not sure how old of a machine you're talking about it feels like to me that the older the machine is, the more likely the driver issues have been sorted.
This pattern is also seen in almost every enterprise application purchase I've seen over the last 10-15 years. The process is as follows:

1) RFP, RFQ then purchase your ideal enterprise application.

2) Start customizing it to meet your old way of working (and before you really understand it) while ignoring the fact that X's 10000 customers seem to do fine with the default configuration.

3) Complain that it won't really let you work the way you did a) on the mainframe which was designed based on b) the way you did it with paper and pen.

4) Throw in the towel or force your users to adopt some practice that was neither a) your original process or b) the vendors optimized process.

I've seen this pattern with:

1) Oracle ERP

2) SAP

3) Jira (twice)

4) PeopleSoft (twice)

5) Workday

6) ServiceNow

7) Remedy (twice)

One of the most solid recommendations I can give is that when you purchase a software system, don't do any customization for the first 12-18 months.

>> At no point does it create a category called "publisher" who is subject to different rules from a category called "platform."

Section 230 does not need to create those categories because they already exist under the law. Historically, content providers have been treated as either publishers, distributors, or platforms, and there are different rules for those categories.

If a law is saying someone isn't going to be treated as a publisher, it is implicitly saying they are going to be treated as a distributor or a platform.

Section 230 says that internet content providers aren't going to be treated as publishers of user content, while the same law also says that internet content providers will have some of the rights of publishers - for example, by moderating content.

Under Section 230, internet content providers are treated as distributors in some cases, for example where upon request they need to remove content that violates copyright, but not liable as long as they do so. They are treated as platforms in other cases, for example defamatory content. Although in some ways they have even more rights than offline platform providers - traditionally platform providers have a legal requirement to accept all traffic.

So 230 gives internet content providers the privileges, but not the obligations, of traditional publishers, along with the privileges, but not the obligations, of traditional platform providers.

The reasons this was done are spelled out in the findings and policies section of the law. Some of the reasons no longer make sense - I don't really think we need government policies at this point to "to promote the continued development of the Internet". And some of the things that the act called out as beneficial about the internet are being harmed by the current actions of internet content providers. We are seeing them act less and less like "a forum for a true diversity of political discourse".

That's why people are talking about modifying Section 230. If you get the benefits of a traditional publisher, maybe you should get the obligations as well. If you get the benefits of a traditional platform, maybe you should get the benefits as well.

And yes that would be a huge change in the way content is provided on the internet.
I’m a neuroscientist and just read their “phase 2b protocol” paper. As far as I can tell, there are no actual control groups. Registering a trial with clinicaltrials.gov is a nice step, but they don’t compare at all to patient improvements in people that don’t receive treatment let alone a sham. Thus, the study does not appear designed to prove efficacy even though they will surely claim it.

This is not entirely correct for French. Though there is an Académie Française in France, it doesn't directly dictate rules to other French-speaking nations and cultures.

This is because France doesn't contain the majority of French speakers in the world, and even if it did there doesn't seem to be an incentive to follow any rules they may publish.

Source: I live in Québec, we don't defer to the Académie.
Ouch, on-prem software is a really tough business. I can kinda see why companies want out. Especially as they get bigger. Two of my former employers had to go through this hurdle of moving to SaaS from a an on-prem installation.

* It's really hard to scale support. You end up being on the hook for why "it's not working" in thousands of different of environments you have zero control over. Anyone qualified to do that level of support could be making more money not hating their life.

* Nobody wants to pay for updates. I mean it's totally rational but we also don't want to support $old_version forever.

* Even when updates were free people still didn't do it. Telling your users "sorry you're using an ancient version, please update" just makes people angry. Again, understandable, but surprise! those same people suddenly weren't angry about updates once they were on our SaaS offering. Turns out that frog boiling is reasonably effective.

* We had to deal with swaths of customer complaints about performance that we're mostly not our fault. Sorry our app is slow on 1/64th of a used SuperMicro. Maybe your IT department should get on GoFundMe?
Some number of years ago they figured out that in an entire season there was a single-digit number of overtakes for the lead.

Many of that changes to the F1 rules in the last 10-15 have been an attempt to create more overtaking and "drama", but unfortunately as you said it hasn't really worked out that way.

More often than not races are won with good strategy and pit stops, not overtaking or interesting battles on the track.

Dad and I used to watch it a lot back around the late 90s/early 00s. These days I watch zero.
This is why football is so popular in Europe, every club has at least some players from the area in the most popular clubs. Every other club nearly only has players from the area. If you are from a town/city you very well might know a player's family, giving you the "connection" to cheer for that team.
Not trying to troll you, just wanna know: why is that?

Are there good self-hosted alternatives for those of use who'd like to get off of Atlassian products?

For Bamboo, I immediately think of Jenkins, although it's showing its age now.

For Confluence, I think of Media Wiki.

Not sure about Jira or Service Desk, though.

I'd appreciate any better suggestions.
Should we also stop using cargo ships because they pollute the water? Or planes because they pollute the air? Don't cables in the ground pollute the environment? Isn't every single way to get internet or anything to your house polluting?

These are controlled space craft flying in a known low orbit, they all have a life-cycle and will de-orbit once they are not needed and even if the propulsion system breaks, they will be on a known path and will deorbit within a few years.

Uncontrolled space craft and things to small to track are the real issue.

The whole idea of a GOAT is just stupid. Lewis is very good, if he didn't move to Mercedes he'd be another 1 time WDC.

The best drivers make it to the top, but that's it. Alonso only won 2 and he was just as good as Lewis and Schumacher (arguably better considering what he could do in cars of almost any quality, lewis had a bad car once his entire career)
What do you imagine a standards board for English doing? Publishing an official standard and then everyone rejoices that finally someone has told them how to write the language they already write in? How is it any different from the myriad of 'rules' made up by well-intentioned people through history, many of which are now responsible for English's lack of well defined spelling rules?

In the end such a body would wind up either as descriptive, which is interesting academically but also useless from a standardization perspective, or prescriptive, which would just lead to it being happily ignored.
I would imagine in practice even if the measurement were accurate, there would be so much noise from other large moving objects that this would still not be possible.
