I’m not against testing APIs. But testing APIs does not tell you if your latest CSS change broke pointer events on your “add to cart” button, so you can no longer receive orders, etc.

If you are wholesale redesigning/rebuilding a whole site and all the workflows yes of course you need new tests. But also your users would get pretty impatient if entire ways of working are changing all the time in a way that makes testing a giant moving target.

The purpose of a UI test in my mind is to make sure that the core business things a user is supposed to be able to do, are doable. In the context of your blog posts, I think those things should be calcified.

Like, I want a test to fail if I remove a workflow that used to be there. I want a test to fail if a form field suddenly has no label. There should be those alerts when functionality that was previously understood to be correct has been changed. Lightweight UI tests with some easily re-approved screenshot diffs goes a long way.

It is a tribute to name the scion of CentOS after one of the (deceased) founders, Rocky McGaugh.

If I might suggest a subtle variation on the name and branding, it would be this:

A hard look at Springdale Linux is due, similar to the White Box Linux assimilation into CentOS.

Oracle also needs to get the converter script updated for CentOS 8, preferably in a manner that switches update streams fluidly.

Yeah this is something he writes about regularly, and it is certainly anachronistic. I also think it's important for rich nerds to justify their position to themselves somehow, and to have some imagined hardship to point to in their past that helps explain their superiority (ha!) over the non-nerds. In reality, it's mostly a bunch of rich kids who would have been rich no matter what nonsense they got up to. Maybe not billionaire rich, but rich enough for the distinction to be sort of meaningless.

I think PG falls into numerous traps in this piece, and many other posts, but I appreciate his writing all the same. In particular, I think the idea that making some business, even if trying to solve a "serious" problem, can never really be fully earnest. There is so little room for pure problem solving, it's all politics. There are more than enough talented people, more than enough funding, to solve all sorts of problems. What remains is the negotiation about who will get the opportunity. Politics.

Piping and shell commands are powerful, but generally a bad experience. You have to plan your command, try to run it and understand how all the piping steps work. If you get it wrong, it’s an annoying experience.

As an alternative, try Sublime with multiple selection (or other editors). With multiple selection skills you can transform your lines in a WYSIWYG interactive format which is much easier to work with for me.

(To use it well you need to know the following shortcuts: split selection to lines, select next, and the alt+arrows jumps to next/previous word)

This won’t mean you don’t need to learn how to use shells, but is still pretty fun to use.
Any actual evidence of the performance impact? This seems thinly supported by evidence.
> we were talking about people without that choice though.

Do men with full-time careers not qualify as people without a choice? ;)

(Of course, you meant the choice of cooking.)

I am another man with full-time work who cooks at home. Used to be 50% before corona, now it's maybe 80% because it is easier to do while working from home; as a bonus, I can now also eat with my family. I wouldn't mind sharing the cooking with someone, like one day I would cook for two families, the next day the other family would cook for me. (Cooking twice the amount is not twice as much work.) I am too shy to offer this deal to my neighbors, but if I had family members living close to me, I probably would have arranged something like this already.

I agree that multi-generational family living is unlikely to work well; with that much closeness, the temptation to interfere is just too high. I suppose the optimal distance would be on the same street, in a different building. So you can easily share child care or cooking, but having to put on your coat and shoes somewhat discourages unnecessary visits.

In theory, you could have a similar arrangement with your close friends. But that also requires them living close to you. My point is that this degree of cooperation, if it works well, can make your life significantly easier. Just imagine, if you have kids of similar age, you could have free babysitting 50% of time in return for having an extra kid or two in your house the rest of time. Again, twice many kids is not twice as much work; sometimes it's even less work, as the kids play with each other and leave you alone.

> From an ethical viewpoint, this is incredibly wrong, as vaccines given to healthy people which cause problems later are very very dangerous.

The first two phases are the safety tests, the third one is efficacy (so we knew the vaccine was "safe" after phase 2, we just didn't know the efficacy - that's what the poster above is alluding to).
That was to be expected for a long time. Embrace (financing most of Linux development, with SuSE historically a close 2nd), Extend (introduce Linuxisms such as systemd, containers), Extinguish (make putting together all the F/OSS amounting to a complete O/S an art, make changes for the sake of it, sell "support").

What's not answered is why now, in the middle of an active CentOS release cycle? Smells like IBM/RH doesn't see growth in new enterprise customers/startups coming to Linux (going to clouds/k8s instead and focusing on creating Docker images for workloads). RedHat surely must've been fully aware that discontinuing CentOS would create a giant backlash. I guess, like me, few people haven't used CentOS as base for new builds anyway; OTOH corporate clouds (OpenShift, k8s) for big customers seems like an attractive market for IBM/RH.

Edit: a good outcome of this catastrophe might be to shift focus towards POSIX, LSB, and other means for portability which historically had strong following in the Linux and BSD communities
Hi, yes I edited the title of this HN post! It used to be "GitHub Dark Mode is too Dark. Here's the mathematical proof" but I understand how that can be misleading (and is inconsistent with the post title). Definitely my bad
The title reads like a blog post (great for HN!), but the site link is just a company selling frames. Their byline is:

So surely somebody did build a picture frame but this is not an article about that.

It's interesting that the whole article is pitched around a context where there is a basic assumption that there is a whole engineering team, devops etc., and the question is about how their time is best utilized. But if you chose to buy instead of build everything most of that would not exist.

So there's a paradox I see which is akin to the credit system where only people who don't need credit are offered it: you can only "afford" to buy instead of build when you have the engineering competence to build - that's when you can intelligently choose not to.

On the other hand, if you lack the internal competence to build and for that reason choose to buy? That's when all the bad things happen. You're going to get screwed by your vendor - they are going to know you aren't technically capable of supporting yourself, they will give you stupid timelines, blown out costs, unreasonable constraints ("it has to have a 16 core, 256GB RAM server or we won't support it") etc etc. You will end up with the worst case of vendor lockin and a system everybody hates.

So one of the pitches I make when people are making this decision is that you should be building at least some things, because the strategic cost of not doing that affects everything else you do.

Energy is not conserved on the scale of the Universe. General Relativity has no energy conservation law (it has a stress-energy tensor conservation law). Two examples of this: expansion of the universe causes the total energy contained in radiation to decrease, and the total amount of dark energy to increase.

Great point, thanks! Makes perfect sense. Turns out though that the intensity actually falls off faster than 1/r^2 toward the end due to quantization effects.

To the extent that you think those things constitute evidence (and some of them are clearly wrong/lacking context/misinformation), you should also believe that these things constitute evidence of voter fraud:

- Jurisdictions with more votes than voters

- Dead people voting

- Individual alive people who claim to not have voted, being counted in the voter roll

- Literal videos of ballot counters marking ballots

- Thousands of "mail-in" ballots that have literally one mark, only for president, all in sequence of each other, without even being creased

- Thousands of claims of harassment and blocking of poll watchers

- Thousands of votes being flipped by the polling machines, all in the direction of Trump -> Biden

- Statistical analysis of the unlikeliness of the authenticity of the ballots in the contended jurisdictions, all of which stopped counting in the dead of the night, when they subsequently received mass piles of fresh ballots that leaned unrealistically heavily in one direction

- Non-enforcement of the only way to sort-of authenticate ballots: signature matching

- Not necessarily "evidence," but the unlikeliness of republicans winning literally every single hotly-contended house seat, yet losing support for the president

>It was in getting people to discover/communicate via these abstractions of channels rather than point to point.

Do you mean Slack is or was the first to get users to communicate over channels (vs point to point) in a business or enterprise setting?

I’m honestly not sure about what innovation came out of Slack. I worked for a startup in the early 2000s, and we ran our own IRC channels.

I’m only vaguely familiar with Slack, but what am I missing?
Could someone help me understand why someone would use this over just automating the tasks using a webdriver? I've done this in python for automating entries into another database (no API) and it was really simple, just used a headless web driver, mySQL, and an ugly tkinter interface so the workers could use it.(I'm a pretty mediocre CS student not a professional but found it very easy and flexible).

Coincidentally there is another post on the front page talking about you should "buy not build." Bit of a misleading site name.

Side note: are there any places on the web where people just post and comment on personal engineering and CS projects they're working on and not necessarily trying to sell? I'm having a hard time finding any active ones :-(
I doubt the killer was thinking about quantum computers or teams of programmers unmasking them back in the 1960s. Heck at that time it still wasn’t public that the allies cracked Enigma/Purple during WWII in the 1940s
+1. And I'd add to that that sometimes there's significant work in the pre-buy phase as well:

- Researching what your options are / what's already out there.

- Comparing different alternatives.

- "Hopping on a call" with a sales rep to get a product demo (there's this super annoying trend where many SaaS companies' landing pages don't explain what they do and the only option they give is to "schedule a demo").

For CRUD-like internal tools or simple 3rd party integrations, my experience has been that it's often much faster (typically < 1 hour) to build a production-ready app on Retool (https://retool.com) than it is to even get started with SaaS vendors.
Exactly, is this even journalism? If the author published whatever the Amazon PR rep sends them they should work for Amazon, not a “supposed” objective newspaper. What a fluff piece.

Yup, like having a 9-in-one painter's tool vs having those 9 tools individually in a toolbox.

Usually, its super convenient to have all those tools integrated because you can scrape some paint and pound a nail and pull a nail all right then and there with needing to do any swapping out or hunting for the right tool.

But the instant you want to be able to hold a bolt in place with the wrench function while simultaneously using the hammer function, you're shit out of luck. The painter's tool, on its own, can't be de-composed to do those things simultaneously. Plus, it's not as good at being a general purpose hammer or a general purpose wrench. But in the context of the tool, you don't really need a full fledged hammer or wrench. Having a single small tool you can hold in one hand is usually more pragmatic, even if less versatile.

Probably still gonna want the toolbox to be available for when you need it, though.

Chrome's security is, however, light years ahead of anyone else's; it remains the sole reason I still use it.

It's possible to use Little Snitch to deny Keystone/ksupdate all network access, which is what I do, which removes the Google RCE vulnerability it places on your machine.

Make sure to periodically manually update Chrome, however.
You don't need your own ASN to announce IP space. The upstream can do it for you.

Interesting because HughesNet as it exists today is serviced with GEO satellites. These can't hit the latency requirements of the RDOF program

Yeah true, the distro i had the longest time was arch and debian, then i changed to FreeBSD (because i can and i want), but on my laptop i need additionally a Linux...but installing arch when my main interests is *BSD..no, so i installed openSUSE tumble and that's it. The whole distro bs is just plain stupid, use what works and has a stable past...that's it.
the linked 2009 wired article quotes adobe saying 'yeah we don't see the need to have an always-on updater process'

fast forward to 2020 when (1) adobe has this and (2) they still email me every so often to remind me to install their software which (3) I have installed and been using

I think life would be better if there were a 3rd-party update service that wasn't trying to also own marketing + distribution (i.e. take 15-30% of the sale and also maintain platform dominance). A tool that was 'just updates' so my other software doesn't get to install a rootkit.
> they'll show me all references, take me to the definition or declaration, stack those jumps so as I follow the links I can pop back a level to where I was. All of this is instant.

I do this in stock vim using ctags files. You can generate them with anything, though “exuberant ctags” is very popular. Ctrl+] when over an identifier jumps to its definition, and there’s a tag stack to jump backwards similarly (you can also use the jump list). This too, is instant. It’s also an essential feature of the help system in vim for navigating cross-references.

There’s also other robust IDE-like features built-in. Syntax-aware code folding (with adjustable fold levels, see ‘folding’), compiler integration so that it’ll highlight where compilation errors occurred (see :make, makeprg, errorfmt) and so forth. Not saying your life won’t be better without some plugins, but stock vim is quite a bit more powerful than having to shell out and grep.
I just love using shell and it’s one of the reason I ditched Windows for Linux
As a terraform SAST tool, this has competition with tfsec, tflint, and checkov. I do like how it also checks the kubernetes yaml.

I'd like if these types of articles would mention the competitors to show what additional value that the one they pitch brings to the table.
> Are package managers distro-specific, then?

Technically no, effectively yes.

You can install and use different package managers on different distros, but with the exception of things like cargo it's highly recommended to not, as you are likely going to break your system.
Copying my comment from other post - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25395187

> Recently I moved to Apple Macbook Pro 2019 (FYI before that I was using Linux Mint for years without any drama). But after using this very expensive MBP, I am not happy at all. Hardware is the best in class while keyboard is the worst in the class. But my biggest complain is keyboard layout. It is not ergonomic at all. In windows/linux, WINDOW key manages window manager while CTRL, ALT can be used to manage applications. On internet, many places it is mentinoed that, use apple COMMAND key as control key and OPTION key as alt key. Ok thats fine. But this behaviour is not consistent at all across apps. Many apps use CTRL key to control application additional to COMMAND key(e.g. in chrome/vscode, toggling tabs can be done using CTRL+TAB, not COMMAND+TAB). And this CTRL key is only one side of spacebar, very very unergonomic. Additionaly if you are a touch typer powered with mechanical keyboard, you can press CTRL key on windows layout using wrist. This is not possible on Mac as its first left key is FN.

After using MBP for couple of weeks, my hand literally hurt like mentioned in video. I dont think I can operate MBP for hours without looking at keyboard. In Windows you can do everything with mouse only. In Linux you can do everything with keyboard only. In mac, you need both and your hand hurts.
Beggars can't be choosers and I don't know of another free distro providing 10 years of updates.
Eliminate management by objective. - Deming

OKRs and KPIs are basically gamification of a business. Gamification is suited only to behaviors with extrinsic motivation. It cheapens previously "meaningful" work and stifles intrinsic motivation. When the goal is a target number, the behavior tends to be focused on moving that number rather than a holistic approach to the business.
> Previously, Disney World would not allow those without masks to see or purchase their photos taken during rides. Now the park is allegedly allowing guests to have their photos – albeit with an added piece of digital magic.

Honestly, this sounds like a rather clear cut way to reduce the incentives of removing one's mask. Whether it works is perhaps a different story.
I've used Ubuntu for 12 years, Debian for 9 years before that. Debian is still going fine. What drama?
Like many things in vim it depends on whether you wish to write it ;)

You can define your own popup(:h bexpr) however you feel, including per-filetype or buffer. Instead of simply operating on the variables it defines to you can also work upon the selection by querying the register(:h quotestar) instead.

As an example, I like displaying wordnet¹ popups when writing prose. Occasionally, I'll also dump diction² output in to a popup too.

However, I do think that using messages(:h :messages) might make more sense for selection info in general. That way you can select a text, call a map to display information, and still easily recall that data when you're in another place via :messages at a later time. Depends entirely on your use case, and once again how interested in writing the functionality you are.

Yes. Package management is most of what a distro does.
