I'm surprised people are still using Travis CI. The writing was on the wall the day of the acquisition. I moved all of my builds immediately.
I wrote a blog post about this a couple weeks ago [1], and I think as a result of writing it in the midst of the week-long annoyance that I had at having to quickly move my active projects over to GH Actions, I may have been a bit too negative in my overall tone.

I do like that this post expresses the gratitude for many years of free OSS CI that Travis did provide, and I especially want to echo that and thank the original founders and engineers who helped grow Travis CI and the entire idea of 'every project gets CI' that is now prevalent (in most professional realms), just like the previous generation embraced the idea of 'every project is in a VCS'.

It's too bad what's happened, I think, but Travis does have a great legacy.

> People didn't have to put up with (as much) bureaucratic run around in order to build a deck on their house or to open a business.

I think the problem is in the way things are handled vs the regulations themselves. I believe there very much should be legal standards and licensing processes for building residential and business structures. I also think that getting things inspected and approved should be a really easy, streamlined, cheap, non-profit process. Hell, I'll go one further: I think there should be financial encouragement to bring outdated unsafe facilities up to code, in cases where there isn't already such a thing (and there usually is).

"The free market shall decide" and "let the buyer beware" are great until you eat a sandwich and find out the ground beef was cut with sawdust, or buy a house with a deck, have a party, and the deck collapses because the previous owner built it wrong.

> What specifically is factually incorrect?

The claim that the court prohibited Newsome from issuing any more Executive Orders. It only prohibited him from issuing EOs that do what was in dispute in the case, specifically, using the Emergency Services Act as a basis for any order which "amends, alters, or changes existing statutory law or makes new statutory law or legislative policy." EOs which don't do that, which is the case for most EOs, are not in dispute and future EOs that don't do that are unaffected.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. If you are asking if I think politics in/at the workplace are ok, I would say "no".

There is also clearly a distinction between political talk and campaigning. Your username and the fact that you posted a link to a political campaign related to it says that the only reason you are here is to use your 17 minute old profile to grind your political axe.

This is not a left or right issue. This is a please don't use HN to wage your political campaign (left or right or centrist) issue.
So, there is a lot to say about this, I started to write out an essay but realized there is too much to cover so I'll stick to a few key points. To cut right to the chase, John Hammond is a manipulative liar in the book. This is explained to the reader and Alan Grant by Bob Morris, an EPA official, who explains that Hammond operates a secretive organization that is setting up an expensive bioengineering lab on a remote Costa Rican island specifically because it is far from the eyes of government regulators. Shortly after receiving this information from Morris, Grant is contacted over the phone by Hammond, who confirms they have such a facility and expresses his hatred of government regulators.

The movie on the other hand never really explains why the facility is on such a remote island. The audience is left to assume it's for the tropical climate or to help contain the animals (which in the book had already failed, with numerous children already attacked and at least one killed by chicken-sized procompsognathids. John Hammond was aware the dinosaurs had already escaped containment, but denied it.) The use of the island to evade the law is not mentioned or even hinted at in the movie.

Then there is the matter of Hammond's grandchildren. Why were they brought to the island? The movie doesn't really explain this, except perhaps to say that Hammond wants to 'show them something real.' In the book, his motive for bringing his grandchildren is Machiavellian; it's his attempt to emotionally manipulate his critical guests. He brought his grandchildren to an island he had every reason to believe was dangerous because he wanted to hide behind them. He puts the children in harms way, using them as shields against criticism.

What of Hammond's motivation for the island? In the movie, the lawyer Gennaro remarks that they could charge anything, selling tickets to the uber rich. Perhaps they would have a 'coupon day' for everybody else. This angers Hammond who says that anybody should be able to see the dinosaurs. Hammond is a dinosaur nut, naive, but motivated most of all by his child-like love of dinosaurs. But in the book, Hammond is the one who wants to charge astronomical ticket prices, not Gennaro. Negative aspects of Hammond's character in the book are taken from Hammond and transplanted into Gennaro, who is then eaten by the T-Rex (in the book he acts heroically and survives.)

In popular media, people generally get what they deserve. Greed that results in the death of a child is particularly heinous and demands karmic retribution. In the movie, no children die, and Hammond lives. But as mentioned early, procompsognathids kill at least one child in the beginning of the book and attack many more. For this, Hammond's fate is sealed. At the end of the book, Hammond is attacked and killed by procompsognathids while everybody is is being rescued. He never gets his "come to Jesus" redemption moment, as he does during his conversation with Ellie in the movie. He dies a selfish asshole.
Let's make this discussion a bit more concrete.

Take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25155424 and tell me where the CSS is inseparable from the HTML? Or where would one have to change the HTML structure if the designer decides to change the styling of the component/page?

I am genuinely curious to get some feedback about it. I'm working on this project where I am dealing now with frontend stuff and I do want (need) to make it as easy as possible for others to integrate with their systems. If there is anything wrong with my approach I'd be very pleased to find out earlier than later.

So the story is that Google built up their Chrome browser on top of work done by KHTML/WebKit projects, and now, they'll potentially try to block users that are still using Konqueror from using Google services that require login?

For context, the author of this mailing list posting is concerned because Epiphany (the default browser in GNOME) uses GtkWebkit, an embedded Webkit browser engine. Presumably, it would be treated like any other unsupported browser.

(Edit: Additional context: in follow-up replies, they seem to have tested it by sending a header to try the changes early, and as of now it doesn’t appear to break things. I have not read the entire thread; folks should check the replies though.)

As the sibling comment says, ZFS does not _require_ ECC. It's your data that requires it. Whichever filesystem you use. If you care about the data, of course.
I’m not the parent but I built something similar in the Fractal Node 304 which supports six 2.5” drives. Mine’s been going strong for 7 years now.

They should have fully open sourced it, at least the runtime.

I didn't say that, so you might want to remove your quotes.

The article made it seem like people with 5 million daily views who decided not to monetize their videos would get ads placed into their videos and make $0 with no way to opt-out while YouTube profited from ads in those views. That would be way different (and worse) than what's really happening.
I can't even try and be actively engaged with my Discord groups, there's just too much constant activity and no easy way to get caught up on what I've missed. All the Discord communities I join eventually end up on permanent mute and only occasionally checked.
The problem isn’t that ZFS needs ECC more. It’s that other filesystems will silently ignore the errors that ZFS points out. With other filesystems, you data just eats some corruption. With ZFS, you’re likely to encounter errors because you notice them - Because it’s extensive checksumming points out when a bit flips.

I’d much prefer to know, but if you’re used to not knowing, knowing is scary.

I'm Danish... On the one hand none of this surprises me.

On the other hand, I wish the US would trust our politicians a bit more. There is no way we could have bought anything other than the F35, why even bother spying? :)

At the end of the day I hope we'll never use the air planes -- so what does it matter if they can't fly :D

Seriously, though... It might be best if I trust that the politicians we've elected makes reasonable deals. When it comes to geo politics they might know better than me.

At the end of the day, I kind of trust the US more than anyone else, regardless.

(Not saying I don't wish the world was different, just that in practice all of this hopefully doesn't matter much)
Generally I find the threadripper not worth it. Radically less motherboard selection, radically less chassis options, half the bandwidth, less pci-e, and near zero price savings.

I looked recently and found the epyc and TR motherboards from the same manufacturer within $1.00. The Epyc 7302P cost $450 for the CPU, cheaper than any TR. Sure TR has some options with higher clock speeds, but generally that's less useful for fileservers.

Generally TR made sense ... before AMD brought out the single socket Epycs.
I see the world “nightmare” used a lot in this attic ale.

I wonder if I am the only one that loves debugging difficult/weird problems. It’s something like trying to solve a puzzle. And knowing that the system will never deceive me(it will not be the system’s fault if I get deceived), and that a perfectly reasonable good explanation exists for what I observe helps me do not give up.
I will judge the business owner as prejudiced - but it does not make it ethical to send armed men forcing them to trade money for labour with Irishmen. Government laws in the end require enforcement, otherwise they are just nice words. It’s not moral to force someone do act against their will, even if they are unfair, as long as they themselves are not using force against others.

The same principle holds for borders and other forms of property.

Issues of right and wrong often are issues or greater vs lesser evil.

This is part of the normal OAuth flow. Normally, there's an API call from the app to the site in addition to the app opening the user's browser.
The marketing is key here. You guide potential customers to a solution for their problem which is perfectly normal even if the solution could be used in a different way too
Reasonable updates all around! The reality is that private investing is the "big leagues." If an average joe takes a handoff in an NFL game, they will likely end up on a stretcher. If you have no expertise and attempt to invest with a sophisticated PE/HF that has the world's top law firms and investment banks on their side, you will end up with no money despite how smart you think you may be.
So you're mad about something entirely unrelated and equating this to user hostility. If you wanna use Brave or Konqueror, go for it. As long as it's your default browser you can log in. This just prevents an app from using an embedded webview.

I'm a big Firefox fan and I don't love google, but this is your standard hn 'circlejerk' of bashing google because google bad. Just like every single Amazon thread, regardless of topic, devolves into "yeah but comingling"

Google can be bad and still do the right thing for user privacy. In my opinion, they did just that.
Thanks for the example. Looks awesome! Great work.
And what if your default web browser is Epiphany?
There is no clear ordering as you are already talking about two dimensions.

Should a page with a fraction of a fraction of a percent better content that takes 20s to load and is barely functional on a mobile browser take precedence over something that actually works better for me as an end user?
No, they are just tightening controls of their own OAuth to avoid peoples' Gmail accounts being phished by scummy apps.

If the app uses a webview to connect to its own brand of oauth, that isn't affected.
Does anyone know if the race data is used for crime statistics? I did a quick sample of people I know, and almost every South Asian was miscategorized as Black or White.
One thing that I think is rarely brought up in these discussions is the effect that comes from these rules not being adjusted geographically. I know a number of Midwestern entrepreneurs who struggle to find accredited investors in their area, because the wealth test is defined around the coasts. If you don't have access to those cliques, your access to legal funding opportunities is severely limited.
I dislike their conclusion of "I really do feel we as a society are, in the relentless march of late-stage capitalism, destroying part of our own history simply because there’s no profit in keeping it."

It's a very cynical take on the fact that as a society we aim to design and build better products and therefore use those products over old. Particularly because the author was concerned purely because they are an archivist and historian. With seeming no productive use of the older technology aside of historical value.

Does that mean that the new PS5 should have a VHS drive to accommodate historians? No, you can still buy and own a second hand VHS drive.

I don't see why it is viable for companies to spend their time innovating and designing new products only to have to think about keeping historic software designs alive. I understand there is of course a balance between compatibility with older software and the new. But you pick and choose your battles.
Unfortunately they can't

All of the companies traded on the Nasdaq have four-lettered ticker symbols, which are representative of the actual company. For example, the ticker symbol for Nasdaq-traded Microsoft is MSFT. However, in some cases, a ticker symbol on the Nasdaq will have five letters, and the fifth letter is an identifier symbol that tells market participants something about the company

comparing margins for EC and popular vote does not really capture how close a US presidential election was. you can easily have a blowout in the EC that was determined by a <1% lead in a few key states. popular vote is an interesting stat, but not very meaningful under the current rules.
Apple Releases Big Sur Update 11.0.1
This may contain the fix for some users on older Macbook Pro models.

I have a late 2013 that I will test tonight to see if the black screen issue still exists.

Users can download it from the App Store if they do not already have Big Sur installed. Pro Tip: The older version did install to an external hard drive with a hard reboot and pointing the mac to boot from the update partition that was created by the installer on a Late 2013 Macbook Pro 15 Inch Retina.

There's a way to force reader mode. Add "about:reader?url=" before your URL.
If you read the article, you'd know they're blocking all embedded browser frameworks, including CEF. Embedded chrome has the same security risks. This isn't a partisan policy, nor is punting responsibility to the end user to make decisions always better. Even as an educated engineer, you have no way of evaluating whether that embedded browser is doing something nefarious with your login data or not unless it's open source, which few mobile apps are. Non-actionable warnings are meaningless.

Extripating the virus completely from the population, and keeping it out through total physical isolation of that population from the rest of the world, is a tall task. The question of whether it's an achievable or practical goal to pursue needs to be answered before that is made the objective, and the lifting of lockdown restrictions is made conditioned on the goal being reached.

Anyone advocating that as the goal for society needs to present a plan that has a high chance of succeeding without an unreasonable burden being placed on society. I think maybe the development and mass-deployment of rapid tests for the virus could achieve that, but ironically we don't see much emphasis on this strategy by lockdown advocates. It's almost as if the opposition to the lockdown is all the proof needed to convince some of its advocates that it's the right strategy.

On a side note, we now we see that the lockdown advocates have simply switched their rationale for the lockdown, from "flatten the curve", to "eliminate the virus from the population", once the curve was flattened. For those who believe society is better off being tightly controlled, with heavy restrictions on individuals to achieve larger goals that benefit the public, the coronavirus is the gift that keeps on giving.

Forensic Review of the Beirut Blast
Load time in what browser? Over what connection? When is it loaded - all pictures or just the text? How much text? Does all the JavaScript have to have loaded? What about the calls that makes, do they need to complete? Is it better to have one more second before first render or one more megabyte of data?

I don't think it's a simple problem.
Yeah, I get we see it as crappy but it is essential for them.

I liked more how they did before where you would buy yearly subscription and they would put money to your kid account every week or month. Shame they stopped that.
Verizon goes 180 on HuffPost, sells it to BuzzFeed
> The problem will be finding skilled labor.

I think that overstates the problem. It does not require a whole pile of skill to purchase a few rack mount servers from Dell or Supermicro with onsite 24 hour warranty, and plonk them in a co-lo. In the rare event the hardware does break ring Dell and ask them to fix it for you. When the onsite warranty end's in 7 years it's time to replace the servers.

The expertise required it literally minimal - not much beyond the ability to use a screw driver to install it into the rack and know how to connect the Ethernet cables. Then you have to plug in a USB and install whatever OS you want, of course, but you don't have to be onsite to do that. They all come with iDRAC's or the equivalent.

They will cost about $1000/yr with maybe 10TB raid disk, co-lo costs of around another $1000/yr for unlimited bandwidth. To rent the same dedicated metal is about $500/mo from OHV where I live, so over twice the cost.

Obviously, this is all impossible if you aren't big enough to have dedicated IT staff. And obviously, if you are likely to go through rapid change (well, something more extreme than adding a new server every now and then), it isn't the best plan. But for a stable mature business that employs several hundred people, all you are really doing is cutting out the middle man.
Definitely try to get comfortable with building a kernel eventually. You don't have to run it on your bare metal machine; you can boot test kernels in a VM. The actual test / development process is not especially different between kernel and modules.
It's reasonably clear what this person is struggling to articulate, if we're being honest with ourselves. I've met a few like 'em before.
