Hi - thanks for the question! I'm one of the founders.

There are a few options for people when it comes to feature flags. Some options, like Azure, are features of larger platforms, others come at feature flagging from more of an A/B testing angle.

In terms of Bullet Train:

- We focus on feature flags. We're not going to build out features that are not core to that offering. We're not going to build an analytics platform for running AB tests as we think using a dedicated analytics solution makes a lot more sense.
- Our flags can be booleans, strings, ints or floats and can be overridden on a per environment basis.
- We offer flags based on dynamic user segments, percentage splits/rollouts and are about to release multivariate flags with ABN testing capability.
- We have lightweight, low dependency SDKs for the majority of languages and frameworks that don't get in your way.
- You can run our platform yourself, with us, or we can help you run it on-premise. Our architecture is straightforward and can be up and running in a couple of minutes via docker-compose.
- All our dashboard and API code, as well as our SDKs, is open source and BSD-3 licensed.

At the end of the day it depends on what you are looking for, and what tooling you are currently using.

"To ensure the continued security and maintenance of our server platform, we will increase the price of maintenance for existing server licenses."

That's very kind of them.
We essentially have a local group that thinks similarly to US anti-abortion activists, and they are part of "coalition" (hard to call it coalition when it's all factions of the same party, informally).
I'm currently in the process of buying an house which is subject of estate charges, and I'm very worried about those.
Since Tempo is a k/v store that can retrieve traces given a traceID, we need either a metric system that can store traceIDs in exemplars OR any logging framework to log traceIDs that can be copied over to the Tempo Query UI.
It's possible to allow users to have multiple commits but still show review between the submitted "tip" commits. If you want you don't even need to show the other commits in the UI.
Thanks for the comments and answers. It seems that the "idea" of a more equal payment is too far away from the current reality. Hopefully, the world will change in such a way that location will not be an important factor.
For those interested, the current de facto ELF standard is http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/contents.html (yes, for historical reasons, that SCO) although there is a rumour it will move to a GitHub project at some unspecified time in the future.

There is, in fact, no de jure standard for the ELF binary format. It is, however, pretty much a universal standard format for executable, dynamic shared object, and partially-linked compiled file format used on every platform except Apple and Microsoft systems.

What exactly about this incident would scare someone into following the "SJW Agenda", when you can't even guarantee that following the "SJW Agenda" in the CoC would actually protect you?
Which apply to freeholds too - leaseholders actually have more rights!
Yeah, it's pretty much this. Apparently Tesla locks the features when the car is sold to them. The guy in question had a broken paper trail but apparently it was sorted.

What is worrying is that these aren't clearly explained when you make the purchase. And it's really down to the company's policy, which if all companies do the same, the consumer ends up having no choice.
That's a "feature" of SVGs. The image is an SVG and since they are transparent it goes dark when switching.
If you can turn it back on again and it is capable of resuming its previous state, why not?
Did a project for consolidating address representations across systems for large logistics a couple years ago. It was the one project where XML was a genuinely adequate representation. Ie you could have a text line address preserving sequence, newlines, and whitespace, yet markup postcode and other distinguished fields. Like

<line>Bla Ltd</line>
<line><houseno>11</houseno>, Xyz-Street</line>
<line><postcode>12345</postcode> MyCity</line>

Taking advantage if the fact that almost all addresses can be written in a line-oriented fashion. Actual addresses were using the much more granular UPU S1 vocabulary. SGML would've been even better since it can treat newlines and whitespace as markup, eliminating <line> boilerplate and just use a regular text block representation.
All I know is that it's a one time payment, but it's not obvious if that's transferable to the next owner.
That's a frequently broadcast message lately isn't it. :)
Seems to me there's much discussion not related at all to the substance of the article. I was hoping for better than this.

The recommendation: the big national news providers – ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NPR, PBS, AP, Reuters, The New York Times, The Washington Post – should have threat modelling teams, just as they all have pollsters. These teams would try to identify the most serious threats to a free and fair election and to US democracy over the next three months, so that their newsrooms can take appropriate action.
Perhaps someone should write a tool called "Amazon-dl".
Yeah, to be fair, I think that perception that everyone is gaming on (or even needs) very high-end GPUs has of course been purposefully cultivated by GPU vendors (while most sales are from mainstream cards, most profits are from enthusiast and high-end cards). Gamers in particular also seem to get overly hyped for the halo products, and treat whichever brand has better performance there very aspirationally. Nvidia's marketing has also been especially effective at jacking up prices on the highest-end the past couple years.

Now that consoles are basically gaming PCs, good gaming performance for AAA titles is increasingly anchored by each console generation, so there's a bit of a shift every 4-5 years - one happening now. There's also an insanely large backlog of games and a huge amount of F2P and competitive games that aim to be playable on iGPUs, which have also advanced considerably over the past few years.
To put those density numbers in a bit more perspective: the entire country of the Netherlands has a population density of 521 persons per km². This is including the rural areas. While I wouldn't want to be without a car and happily own two, I can take public transit within walking distance from home, and I'm on the far outskirts of the country.

I'm curious how you think they would achieve the same without a Code of Conduct, the acquired public support and the pseudo-court-system that comes with it.

Would you accept (or would one even send) an ad-hoc post-conference invite to 'talk about something you did wrong and how you should be punished' from a committee member?
Yup, GitLab works as expected here. It's always surprised me how quickly the old commit is garbage-collrcted when you force-push a branch on GitHub. It causes weird errors in CI runs and breaks viewing the old commits.

Seriously I'll pay for those couple of KiB of space, just keep it around. (at least until the PR is closed)

> Why don't contributors openly reject this stupid system (not the rules themselves, which sound fine) and unseat these self-proclaimed procurators is beyond me.

Because some people actually do act like jerks, and we want to be able to tell those people to either stop acting like jerks or go away.

> CoCs were doomed to this from the beginning.

Rather, Codes of Conduct are more difficult than you think. The article itself points to several ways in which the committee in question didn't follow their own guidelines. It also points to "Code of Conduct Best Practices" which aren't followed by the Code of Conduct in question.

> Any set of strict/influential laws should be supported by a proper set of institutions like courts, lawyers, arbitration, judging practice.

This is I think a big problem right now. Our community adopted a Code of Conduct proactively; we haven't yet had to deal with any issues. But I'm painfully aware that doing this sort of policing well takes time, skill, and training, which I don't think it's reasonable for normal community members to take.

On the one hand, I'd love to be able to (for instance) outsource all CoC engagement and enforcement to a specialized body, that could manage a whole investigation / accuser / defense / jury system for a number of different organizations.

On the other hand, there are an awful lot of decisions made that I very much disagree with. For example:

Not to be shallow, but this runs counter to Amazon's purported customer obsession - no? I say this as someone recently "tricked" into buying some movies through Prime. The layman in me thought, surely the distinction between "Rent" and "Buy" on this screen means I own the content. While the software engineer in me thought: what would happen if Prime or Amazon disappeared; how would I keep my purchase?

Guess I have the answer to my question now. I don't.

Will most likely purchase physical media for things that are important enough to me now.
I got a new build last year and it's not really an issue, just something to be aware of. The only thing I worry about is the escalating prices in a few years, but you have the benefit of the whole estate being in the same situation, so you can club together to complain I guess.
Okay, this is driving me crazy. Where?
I can't recall reading much on how going for 'the cloud' or 'serverless' saved anyone money. On the other hand, I've read my fair share of horror stories about how costs ballooned and going for the old-fashioned server/VPS ended up being much, much cheaper.

The main argument in favor of the 'cloud' is that it's easier to manage (and even that is often questioned).

That was Benjamin Franklin, and the quote, while good on its own, has been pulled out of context: "The letter wasn’t about liberty but about taxes and the ability to “raise money for defense against French and Indian attacks. The governor kept vetoing the assembly’s efforts at the behest of the family, which had appointed him.”"
Sorry, my english is not polished enough to express my point of view properly. I will try again. When I talk about quality it is in context applied to servicing my clients. In context of UX/UI and graphical design. When using a traditionally licensed software I own a tool. I can do my professional work with this tool and make a profit. New features add extra functionality and if I have a business case for this new functionality I can invest. But in most of use cases I can do my work with previous version with base functionality. Life cycle of graphic software must be long. Thats why I use Affinty software for design and avoid Adobe products. I know what my ROI is. My software is not bloated with background web services and notifications.

> Some apps like AnyDesk just haven't invested in support for Wayland

That they have to invest work for simple functionality to work is the problem. Until Xwayland can support this, Wayland is broken by design.

I've designed and programmed highly interactive SPAs for customers large and small, and the reaction is invariably "I can't believe this is a website, it feels like an app". Being non-technical, they can't put their finger on it, but I know that while the base design plays a part, so does the concrete UI implementation.

I wonder how many of the people crapping on SPAs are actual front-end or full-stack app devs, or otherwise people developing very close to the UX.

I'm sure there are some disgruntled UX devs who are running back to SSR, but when I come to the bimonthly "SPA sucks" thread on HN, for the most part it feels to me as though the critiques are coming from people for whom UX and front-end development are secondary concerns.
This stack is very appealing though I'm not sure it's quite fully ready for primary use. Has StimulusReflex-CableReady figured out pushing new data to the client outside of the request cycle? Last I looked there was no way to trigger a client page update from a background job for example.

I don't know any polyglot programmers who would consider javascript better than at least one of the other languages they use, and would ditch js for those if they had the option.

Kubernetes is overkill for most applications that's true, but Docker is awesome because it solves almost all of the "it works on my machine, doesn't work in prod" and "it worked yesterday, doesn't work today" issues and isn't that hard to adopt.

Libel maybe; people can and have gotten fired over CoC violation allegations (warranted or not) and the consequent internet witch hunt; a famous case is "Donglegate".

Given how many company have been started by people who left university and didn't get a CEO, I'm not sure that advice is all that great, just because those people finished their PhD.

I guess one could make the argument that all startups should do that, but it seems the most successful ones usually don't.

Agree that these are table stakes, and I speak as someone whose day job is managing a team that works on a fairly large open source project which is bound by the Linux Foundation CoC. And yes you are right, it is all about the money at the end of the day.

But here's the thing; if one of my devs made a gaffe at a conference, they'd have the full weight of myself and the company defending them, they definitely would not find themselves alone facing some kangaroo court that answers only to itself :)

My holy grail is a synthesis of Qubes and NixOS, with the display VM running a Wayland compositor, dom0 doling out input events, and the VMs running X or whatever to their frame buffers. Best of all worlds, given enough RAM.

But how to give the VMs access to GPUs? A vulkan virtualization layer?
You inadvertently proved a point here on misuse of code of conducts.

Declaring that “X is stupid and anyone who believes it is an idiot” without any discriminatory intent is definitely in bad taste, but should _absolutely not_ be grounds for a CoC violation or any kind of punishment, other than "your talks are obnoxious and we're not going to be inviting you or accepting your papers anymore".
> Like, it sounds like you very much do not want "those people" in your community.

I absolutely do not want "those people" in any community I might be part of. They are the ones that forced RMS and Linus out of their roles. And RMS and Linus can be eccentric and unpleasant, but they have made my life much more easier through their contributions in a real and concrete way.

"Those people" are worse than the people they prey on. They are dementors, ghouls that suck life, intelligence and innovation out of every space in which they crawl.
Fine. Change your CTAs from being labelled "Buy" to "Buy a limited license for on-demand viewing over an indefinite period of time" if that's what it is. They currently use a discreet link on a single word "Terms", in a smaller font than anything else, which opens a 3000+ word document hosted on a different domain to avoid this. And there is also a dark pattern of mixing the words "buy", "order" and "purchase" in the same section of the page.

Is it time for a protected legal definition of "buy" which excludes this nonsense? Does the EU already do this?

I'd say that's the main (potential) 'problem' with LiveView, alongside latency issues.

In practice, I've usually found that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages when it comes to the former. Beefing up my servers seems like a worthwhile trade-off.

When it comes to latency, or related issues, I find that I'm still so much better off using LV as a basis and 'dropping down' into plain JS or (p)react when I need it.

We recently delivered a project that involved a whole bunch of stuff that LV was a perfect solution for, but also a core bit of functionality that required various kinds of animations. We ended up using LV wherever we could, and piggy-backed on the LV channel (websockets) to handle synchronizing the animation stuff. The actual code to animate things was just plain old JS. Worked like a charm!
It’s not just that the image is transparent though, because the color of the text changes too. I thought perhaps it’s using the site CSS to style SVG elements (which appears to be possible, though I haven’t tried it), but it turns out it’s just a CSS filter `invert(83%) hue-rotate(180deg)`. Still, it looks great and I’m impressed by the attention to detail.
Hey you leave CORBA out of this!

My first programming job was a pilot study for porting a platform from old and busted CORBA to the new hotness, J2EE. It was embarrassing how much worse than CORBA J2EE was.
So should Russia do the same? After all the US did officially declare a cyberwar against Russia. If this ends up being attributed to Russia they have a very real defence in pointing the finger at the US and saying "You started it!"
thanks for pointing this out. For a while i had an uneasy feeling about this, and they way you have put it gives words to those: digital assets that we create and are licensed really can't be passed on generationally. Taking it to an extreme - imagine not having physical transcripts of historic documents - e.g. the constitution - and its effect on a country's trajectory (not that constitution would stay always relevant in it's original form - but still)
Sure, but you get that sort of "freedom" on any other platform too. Unlike UNIX-y operating systems, Windows has no notion of a standard location for headers and libraries which package managers and compiler toolchains all agree on.

In bioinformatics, MCMC was used often linkage analysis to sample a "genotype space" of a true inheritance pattern of multiple related individuals to find the location and transmission pathway of disease causing variants.

Classical genetics and statistics were very tightly linked in this regard due to scarcity of data at the time (pre-2000).

Now that the field has exploded with big data, such statistics are no longer so neccesary to answer the same problems, and a lot of the early mathematical elegance associated with the field has given way to brute-force filtering methods.
My armchair analysis of the obvious solution is to airgap all these systems. Perhaps this would require some new infrastructure in hospitals, but it would add a very difficult-to-penetrate layer.

Donkey Kong was just a quarter when it came out. I distinctly remember playing it at roller rinks and arcades and as a poor teenager I wouldn't have been playing it if it was more than that. The first "big" game that was more than that (or maybe the first that was a dollar) was Dragon's Lair. Perhaps this was a local thing, but in my area (suburban Minneapolis, MN, USA) it was a quarter.

The points about communications are huge though. If you didn't grow up during that time you don't understand how different it was just to try to get ahold of somebody at any random time.
Hi everyone, OP here. Writing has always been a struggle for me. I just started to post consistently on this blog two weeks ago. Didn't expect this to get to the front page of HN. I hope you guys find it helpful. I'd appreciate any feedback or comment on the post!

> A community member said something, some people didn't approved based on their personal tastes, and thus they proceeded to leverage their CoC to persecute and punish that individual to keep the community in line.

Not sure if it's too soon to joke about this, but I find it funny that "I like Jupyter notebooks" was such a controversial opinion at JupyterCon.

(Yeah I know it was actually the mask advocacy and not the talk itself.)
This sounds like it could easily and quickly lead to really poor bug reproducibility, documentation, and discovery especially if the issue is in action-at-a-distance anti-patterns. Am I just being a curmudgeon or is this a reality?
