There's no contradiction, only an acknowledgement that (in my personal opinion) the piecemeal way these plans are being announced is understandably frustrating, but that they are legitimately serious about making RHEL easier to use across a spectrum of use cases (which the official post is pretty clear about).
Yeah, it's preferred terminology by people that share their work as source code and not as applications.
Maybe it works differently than that
What happens if I have an iPhone and want to send/receive text (not iMessage)? Is this officially supported or text messaging only works if you have an Android?
Well about the hardware support, i.e. the Ubuntu Desktop certified hardware list is quite long [1], and I'm quite sure there are a lot more perfectly working brands/models that are just not appearing there. I've been using a Dell Inspiron model, for 8 years now not appearing in that list as a daily driver and every major distro worked perfectly out of the box, some tweak required from time to time but that's it.

So you're saying that she didn't have a right to post that picture at all?

Again, what she did was stupid and tasteless, but if you think that it was intended as a call for violence then you're venturing into Rorschach test territory.

The capitol "protest" was designed to lead to the attack on the house. Perhaps many present were just there to just "speak up" but the breach itself was no accident.
Do anyone know abut discord messaging platform architecture(detail of Elixir)
I'm just wondering why Discord messaging platform doesn't use Ejabberd for messaging and created their own solution in Elixir from scratch. I looked into various articles in their blog. They are talking about variety of systems but I couldn't found article with detail core messaging platform architecture
Yes and no. Complexity, source code volume, data volume and amount of users naturally introduce failure states that are not found in a simpler system. They also reduce your facility for reasoning about the whole, and the amount and type of assumptions you are allowed to make.

Google, an indie game, a SaaS, or a custom web app shop all have different security engineering requirements, including authentication, often per project.

Also outsourcing auth and not having full control over it is not feasible or even allowed for some domains or projects for a multitude of reasons. Not to mention that using an external service has at least a constant complexity cost.

That said, these kind of services are definitely worth considering for many. There is something to be said about advantages of specialization and cost-benefit as well. Reliability is not optional for an auth system, and I'm sure these engineers are really good at what they do. However the challenge would rather be convincing business, not engineering.
No issues with reliability.

We did some load testing and noticed that the first thing to become a bottleneck was the database, after running 4k concurrent logins or so. I suspect we'd have to introduce propper postgres connection pooling to overcome that (we were running a single postgres instance).

You do need to watch out for the way it caches things though . I suggest to read the relevant documentation, as it works a bit differently in cluster mode https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_installation/#_o...

One thing to keep in mind as well is that if you create an SPI extension to cover a spicific usecase, you'll have to add your own metrics collection. It was a bit of overhead to configure in prometheus, since you'll end up having a metrics endpoint to scrape for each SPI.
Right, which is why it's so vital that cloth masks be trivially easy and cheap/free, so that I can be confident that everyone around me has access to them
You didn’t make it very well it seems.
Yep. I did a tiny bit of Fortran for antenna design and modeling in college in the 2000s. I noticed then that the professor -- who had been at my university since the late 50s -- and surrounding material (textbook, etc.) referred to programs as "codes".
"It's more like: the US constitution was grand it its aims, but pretty v1.0 in its execution."

Thanks a lot for the tee-shirt. Actually one of the best answers here. Especially point (1.). You are completely right, I should wait till things calm down regarding covid and then should at least visit Zurich one time. Guess right now might be the wrong time to think about it. This question really consumed already so much mental power...
I think there is a push and a pull going on. Many people feel like outsiders or are otherwise unfulfilled with their communities, making new associations more attractive
It was Cylance made by Blackberry.
Depends if you want to a) actually practice engineering and b) fork out 70k a year (which if you’re shrewd you can make back by more lucrative SWE opportunities). HBS I totally get
Uhh... Linux supports a lot of hardware. Probably a lot of in-tree drivers that still get use were started as reverse engineering efforts by a small number of people.

Perhaps you're meaning to say Apple will iterate the hardware faster than people can add Linux support? That's plausible. It also was the status quo of Linux on PCs for many years. (Still the case with some hardware I guess.) That hasn't killed Linux yet.
I believe Trump's policy was that anyone that contributed something on the order of $1-2 million to whatever he's calling his slush fund these days (Re-election campaign? Legal defense fund?) is eligible for pardon.

Self-addressed emails: a sticky note substitute
Interesting that "eroheard" comment seems to be pinned to the top of this thread. Is this a new feature by HN and only available to YC company founders?
Yup, just got it. Thanks.

This looks promising. To activate the suspend on collapse feature enter "chrome://flags/" into the address bar and make sure these experimental features are "enabled": #tab-groups, #tab-groups-collapse, #tab-groups-collapse-freezing. I also enabled: #tab-groups-auto-create.
reinstantiated? or reinstated? this is not news (2020)
Even if you are right, there is also therapy, house arrest, 24 hour monitoring, etc.

Prison is not the only option by a long shot.
Think it from their side.

They don't give two shits about blacks, LGBTQ, Republicans, or Democrats.

But they have a nice business going.

If they hire someone with the wrong thoughts and voting patterns, they might say something wrong, and it might cause ire and focus into the company from angry people on social media.

Sure, they'll fire the person pronto, but why go through the hassle?

It's better to ensure that whatever a new hire says (while on the job, or on his own social media, or even at his spare time), willd not offend the side that has the political / cancel clout atm. If fascism came to power tomorrow, they'd switch to questions like "Do you fully and wholly support the opression of minorities?" to hire you.

So, it's just good business. And if they're also ideologues that hate concervatives? To them that's a win-win!

Oh, and the people in charge of "company culture" or some such shit non-job need to find something to do, don't they?

Plus, it gives the company "progressiveness" points to use on some presentations, news articles, etc ("Why, of course we have a employee sensitiveness education program").
Close. It’s a mess of standard addons/plugins that you have to match up, like mods in a multiplayer videogame.

Sadly for me, it’s also the only modern messenger that has decent desktop clients that don’t look like discord. But I guess that this will never change as I seem to be pretty lonely with my want of those.
Hey! I'm co-founder of Boundless, thanks for the mention :) Happy to chat more if you need - eamon@boundlesshq.com.

You won't.
So a bet on INTC would be for government bailout? I'd say it has a long time to fall still then.
In so-called "right to work" states in the US, they could simply fire you for not wanting to wear it, if they can't legally require you.
Well, if a law was put I'd definitely include all of the public servants in executive positions, which includes congress, mayors and alike. It's going to be a much different crop of people wanting to work for the public, because eventually, now, they all become "consultants" for companies dealing with the public sectors, and enrich themselves.
Yes, exactly like that. That is a good, specific example that anyone can investigate and see how it compares to Trump's pardons. Still waiting on the examples from Obama that "you can say similar things about".
It's not a good question to ask in an interview, but political affiliation is a not a protected class (except maybe in California, it's confusing).

> It should be recognized that the left, especially neoliberals, has played just as much a role in atomization of the public as the right.

Neoliberalism is a center-right, corporate capitalist economic ideology. It has nothing to do with the Left, which it sees (and is seen by as) an enemy. (Americans are particularly likely to get confused by this because the dominant, more centrist faction of the Democratic Party is neoliberal, and the Democratic Party is the left-most of the US’s major parties.)

But, yes, it has played a central role in atomization of society.
I think what he's driving at is that your point relies on the assumption that neoliberalism is left wing, when this is not true.
I was just in the Brazilian Amazon, and there was a funny moment there re: spiders... I stepped out onto a small floating dock and my weight sank the bottom of the dock below water level. There were probably ~100 spiders of all sizes that immediately emerged around my feet from between the slats as they were forced out from their homes underneath the dock.

Fortunately I don't mind spiders much, but it did look like a scene out of a horror movie.
Do they maybe want to be able to trust Github for the service they claim to provide? And do they maybe agree with the initial takedown?
I doubt it.

Probably just a lot of upvotes in a short period of time.

It's a pretty cool idea.

But it's not constructive criticism, but humor.

I agree that sarcasm provides for poor constructive criticism to get a point across, but the intent was mockery, not being helpful.

I certainly do not believe that GNOME would take the advice of an H.N. post, and they are well aware of these criticisms to begin with, as they are commonly levied against them.
The article mentions it was referenced in an episode of Elementary, so it's not that outrageous.
Looks like they actually send you a jailbroken iPhone physically in the mail to enable iMessage. Not sure how scalable that is.

Since you brought it up, what factors do you think made you ex-wife susceptible to qanon ideas?
You can say that when any significant percentage don’t follow him in lockstep. Very few elected officials are willing to disagree with him in public, most backed dishonest claims or opposition to public health measures, and he has high approval ratings from Republican voters: it’s his party.
Really? What value does the 'minutes' digit of the first minute of an hour have?
Well as you know, that's what is called a 'cultural fit' test and they choose those questions. Oh well.

Welcome to the start of the woke interview games.
Most of what you described is generally true for autrocracies. The real interesting part of China is that usually autrocracies perform poorly as the leaders put power in front of technological advancement.

Chinese leaders though try really hard to allow tech advancements to happen, and perform quite well on the market.
Left wing protestors were protesting against police brutality. And violence occurring at those protests must be recognized as having outside agitators intent on derailing the peaceful protest.

The right wing protestors at the capitol were trying to overturn the results of the democratic process, and were prepared to do so by force.

There's a difference there.

How GameMaker compares to Godot Engine?
Is it possible that dominance of engines like unity and unreal actually make it hard for these small engine to compete. I love unity and unity taught me how to program but I don't want to live in a world which is basically only Unity development.

Like I see the bolt integration for Unity as being a direct shot at no code engines
Finding Your Potential Starts Here
Since SQLite executing SQL locally on a remote peer machine is essentially computation push-down, one could think of building a planet-scale distributed analytics engine using such a pattern (perhaps using DuckDB and parquet/arrow files under the hood - but which exact SQL engine is behind the query pushdown API can be abstracted away too)

edit: attracted->abstracted
Why not CentOS Stream?
Well it kinda fits what I heard about something like meth, where someone might expend a lot of energy on a wild plan (elaborate heist of a Hyundai) but not have much to show for it (Hyundai abandoned a few blocks away with nothing of value removed).

Didn't seem like a rational actor.
> They took a few different design decisions, but in my opinion, nothing that would justify building a competing solution and splitting the already thin developer community.

I'd argue that the design decisions are key to the success of Matrix. However I do not think that there must be any splitting.

I tested Safari on iOS, iPadOS and macOS and it didn’t strip the “referer” header for any of them. WatchOS did strip it though I’m not sure that counts as Safari.
The screenshots of the Self morphs world inspectors are a blast from the past.

When I was a student at Brown U. CS (same time as the much more accomplished Bryan Cantrill), the department had a good relationship with Sun, so students got to play with cool R&D stuff, like Self and Oak (Java).

As I've mentioned before on HN, the research around Self did a few neat things we use today, and is worth looking at:

* JIT compilation and runtime optimization,

* prototype-based object model (and not just this, which we then saw in JS, but Self did this when OO was hot and it seemed everyone thought class-instance was the way to go, and only recently has mainstream PL been moving away from class-instance), and

* the direct-manipulation morphs world, which seemed to go back to some of the promise of the PARC Smalltalk work (before UI thinking turned "and here's some examples of the kinds of interactive graphical objects we could have" to "these is the set of approved standard business form GUI widgets by which all shall abide").

Those are the ones that I noticed and recall, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were more.

If you want to play with morphs worlds today, besides what's in Self, I think Squeak has seen a lot of activity. In any case, it's also worth at least reading some of the seminal research papers around Self.

BTW, the text aliasing in the screenshots didn't look that sharp on a CRT. :)
>We use it all the time. It's a measure of distance. If you haven't moved from where you started you've moved zero distance.

That's an offset. It's already covered in detail in TFA.

We don't deal with such offsets in programming, except in C pointer arithmetic (which infested this upon us).
There's nothing "ouch" about it. People understand a term to mean a thing, we are doing that thing, we adopt the same term, now everyone understands what we're doing. Communication is good.
Not really. But we also haven't had any issues that required taking a closer look. We're used to hosting JVM stuff since our devs produce a lot of scala code.

I'm looking forward to them switching to Quarkus, which will make it more ameneable to be run in containers.
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advise, but in most countries including the U.S. it is not illegal to ask for a persons political affiliation. It is not advisable to do this however as it can lead to discrimination lawsuits.
Now imagine they're powered by a docking station, you go into suspend, put the laptop out of the docking station, wake it up and - tadaa! This bug dissappeared but still occurs slightly diffrent for other people. Three monitors itself aren't more edgecase than 2. How long are you using this setup?

Besides screenlockers, having 2 screens with diffrent resolutions is way worse in KDE than in GNOME. (On X11)
It wasn’t faulty at the time since people were more concerned about protecting computers from users than protecting users from applications.

We all seem to forget that computing has changed drastically in the last decade.
The guidelines are pretty simple. Congress can admit a state by simple majority.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articleiv#section3

As to what you consider a "false positive" state, that's a political question, and apportionment is not the only political consideration. Congress is just about the best option we have for settling such complex, interstate questions.

Moreover, the US has always had lopsided state populations. The 65:1 apportionment population ratio between California and Wyoming (https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial/2010/data...) is definitely big, but it's still within an order of magnitude of where we started in 1789.

The first (pre-Census) apportionment, hard-coded in Article 1, Section 2, had a 10:1 Virginia:Rhode Island ratio in the House:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlei#section2

After the first Census, the largest difference ratio of apportionment population (i.e. population after implementing the 3/5 compromise, excluding "Indians not taxed", etc.) was about 11:1, between Virginia and Rhode Island:

https://www.census.gov/history/pdf/ApportionmentInformation-...

If you were to undo that 3/5ths slavery effect, the Virginia:Delaware ratio becomes closer to 12.5:1.

FWIW I agree Puerto Rico ought to be admitted, just as the Virgin Islands, Guam, and Mariana Islanders ought to be as well. France's DOM-TOM system seems like a better model to follow than America's, and it could still happen within our lifetimes; France made major reforms here within the last few decades:

I bought at least 20 pairs of, sometimes expensive, headphones over the past years. I settled with the Sony XM2 for their sound signature and price point a few years back.
I bought the AirPods Max out of curiosity and I can attest that most comments on internet are from clueless people that like to bash products.
The sound signature is nowhere near any Sony or Bose headphone.
They just destroy them.
The build is exceptional, my Sony or Bose look like toys in comparison.

But like many other things, sound for people is not that important, meaning not 200$ important enough.

Just like, the latest TV technology is not that important for me to update to the 4K latest OLED TV. My old one LED is enough.

AirPods Max compare to the Beoplay H95 which are 200$ more expensive.
So in this case, why buying anything over the Bose or Sony price range ?

The AirPods Max are a pleasure to use like all high end overpriced headphones out there. And please don’t tell me that most of the times you are not paying the brand on any high end product.
> Gates found the front door to his home jammed shut and, with the help of his driver, tried to force it open. A local witness reported their activity to the police as a potential burglary in progress.

Yeah, usually when you see people forcing a door open, you should let the police know.

> It's just racism

It's just the results of spiritual decline. Obviously anyone who has deeply found religion would know that spiritual decline is the cause of human suffering, and that you only need a belief in <deity> to reverse these problems. If only we still taught the bible/koran/whatever in schools!

Single cause claims for complex phenomenon are almost always nonsense, especially ones without actionable solutions that fail scrutiny. They make great headlines, but they don't really hold up. They're used to attack the outgroup, not fix the problem.

> In college you learn it's about slavery.

If that's all you learned in college about the civil war, you should ask for a refund. Slavery was absolutely one of reasons several southern states entered the war, but it was by far not the only. Most southerners would not have fought purely for slavery because most of the soldiers were too poor to have owned slaves.

> Good luck getting any Republican...

Ah yes, we all know <purple team> is to blame! If only it wasn't for purple team, us green team would have solved every woe and problem. After all, every place where green team is in control is a bastion of prosperity, equality and liberty - and everyplace where that isn't true is due to purple team somehow, for some reason!

Culture wars are useful for pushing narratives and keeping both sides locked in a relative stalemate. Coke and Pepsi both benefit from these antics (Are you a coke drinker or a pepsi drinker?), but it's not an appropriate framework for political decision making where you often need to find compromise and pressure points to move the conversation forward.
I think it does offer editing advantages, though they don’t matter that much unless you work in a sweat shop. For me it’s just fun going like “look mum, no mouse“
Even if these were better than a more-obscure headphone maker's product, the people who buy those headphones wouldn't buy these SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE they're made by Apple.
Not for you, apparently.
This is surprisingly common for large companies. It often isn't formalized because no one wants to dedicate engineers to going onsite with customers.

Often the expert is too valuable to give up, or is a poor choice for customer engagement. If you have a consulting team, they may lack the experience needed, or reputation, that the customer wants. As soon as you send the expert onsite, you will have a challenge not sending them at a later time. This scares off engineering managers from lending their engineers because inevitably they have to fight off the requests.

The better workflow is one where you can send a less expensive resource (however you measure it) onsite and have them work remotely with the expert. If you can stick with that you often end up with the onsite person leveling up their skills and the ability to re-engage in a scalable manner. Any engagement needs prep before the onsite, a plan for escalation when onsite, and a disengagement plan.
