I used an OSM-based map on my Garmin on trips to India; did five trips to Bangalore and often played tourists on weekends; I had a particular interest in the ancient temples of Karnataka. I used a driver who knew the sites well, but not always perfectly, and the map was a huge help; coverage of roads in rural areas was quite good, not perfect but several times got us around closed roads the driver was familiar with and onto good alternate routes.

Not sure how much of the mapping was done from aerial imagery and how much was actual GPS tracking, but it was better than I expected. And this was about 5 years ago.
Personally I find this far more worrisome signal of the health of foss ecosystem than the quibbles between elastic and amazon.

To me the idea of software "by hackers for hackers" and scratching your own itch has always been one of the key attractions in FOSS ecosystem, but somehow now our itches seem to have outgrown our ability to scratch then. Doing almost anything yourself feels impractical these days.

This is also why I like sourcehut, it represents to me sort of downshifting movement in the world that seems to be so very overspeeding. But I do feel that sr.ht does need certain almost monkish attitude to be satisfied with the austere facilities.
> Perhaps the idea that convention and precedent is the only thing holding the British system together makes it stronger.

This echos the Roman senate during the late Republican period quite strongly. They, like the British, depended on precedent (their "Mos Maiorum"). Like us Americans, once the social norms were violated things quickly devolved.
It looks simple enough to install md5sum and copy the parts of the hash that you need.
Awesome. I've been pulling from an unofficial Github mirror for SDL2 for a while now.
The GitHub repository for LLVM is the official one: https://llvm.org/docs/Proposals/GitHubMove.html
That works the same as the rest of the language, doesn't it?

(That is, for, if, while, etc. also don't introduce new scopes.)
Yeah, this. I love Python, and I hated Perl. Even Java was a pleasure compared to Perl.

At one time, a trainer was trying to tell us Ruby was the new hotness (2009 or 2010, I think). I liked Ruby OK, but Python seems cleaner and we stuck with it. I have not felt the slightest regret.
Willful infringement of copyright is criminal. Incidental infringement is not (also incidental recording of music would probably not be civil infringement either in my honest and not at all a lawyer opinion).
Right, but if you're Lyft you have to find people and locations from their addresses.

> 128 bits ought to be enough for any IP address, right?

Here's something I find really amusing. In the late 90s, when IPv6 was being introduced, the joke was that 128 bits would suffice until we all had massively parallel wrist watches. Which would never happen, certainly not in our lifetimes.

The iPhone was released in 2007.

I don't find this super convincing.

If you want to convince yourself that choking is a thing, then this is a stat you might look at.

But, this stat is just as likely to be more influenced by how close your opponent's skill was on that day (how often you play opponents at a similar skill level), your and your opponent's relative stamina, whether those match points appeared in a regular service game or a tiebreak (how often your style of play goes to a tiebreak), and perhaps even pure luck - out of thousands of tour players, some are going to have incredible luck.
I can't tell from the project page whether this is an obligate-GC language.
The regulations, such as FINRA Rule 2111, were not in place until the early 2010s. FINRA/SEC implemented stricter requirements for the verification I mentioned in my first comment, but over the past ~5-7 years the brokerages have relaxed them. So yes, it is new relative to your experience in 2010.
So for the next step we need an easy to use ML service for removing protected (or all) music but not speech from videos.
I do this using magit. I’ve never split a commit directly (I’m sure its possible) but manipulate commits at the file/hunk/line granularity which I did not think was possible with git.

Same with histedit, that’s in magit as well.
This doesn’t solve the issues of stuff like Bugzilla, plus these mirror only offer a fraction of what GitHub truly offers (issues, CI, pull requests with nice interface).

Basically, if you think your home grown infra sucks, a GitHub mirror doesn’t address that.
Circa 2011, Bitbucket was Hg-only and pretty comparable to GitHub in repository hosting features at the time.

> nothing mass-produces racism and extremist political views more than treating an entire generation of young men as though they are automatically racist, regardless of their actions, or lack of action.

To the extent the hypothetical condition here describes something that actually happened anywhere recently and not a pure counterfactual irrelevancy, I think it's pretty clearly not true, because no recent generation of “young men” has been more effectively manufactured into an army of racist than has ever occurred by any other means.

> Most people under 40 right now were raised to be completely ready to forget about race and treat it like a non-issue.

>Related note: do it during work hours, if possible.

No, not just IF POSSIBLE, either do them during work hours or don't do them at all. If a company can't make time during work hours to throw an event they are planning, then don't expect your workers to make time for the event after work either.
The real problem is you didn't serve them the recourse you blatantly know they deserve - because you are, after all, a coward.
Hey everyone,

My name is Macgill and I'm one of the creators of Rize. My cofounder and I built Rize to help us understand how we work so we can continually improve based on data rather than guesswork.

I also wanted to add that we're offering 20% off Rize for the 3 months to Hacker News users. You can just apply the code HACKER_NEWS when you signup.

Really hope you all enjoy. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

Actually LLVM has their official repository there, not a mirror as GCC[0]. But they still do reviews and merges outside of github. linux kernel project does a similar thing.

The layout is a bit confusing, but that's the amount of energy used for a single transaction.
Ask HN: What is your biggest struggle right now?
Disagree. Git wasn't the clear winner when GitHub launched - and in fact the entire category of distributed version control was still proving itself.

I remember the GitHub team investing huge amounts of effort into convincing people to use git and teaching them how to do it - one of the four co-founders (Scott) was dedicated to that effort full-time.
"A few years ago, Google introduced Jacquard, its project for interweaving electronic sensors into fabrics. It's been used to add phone controls to denim jackets, bags and even shoes. It's a neat idea, but it requires you to buy new products that you might not actually want. With this patent, Google envisions bringing that same concept to any product you already own and making it smart. That could be things like touch sensors or tracking movement — perhaps you could just slap one of these on your parents instead of putting sensors all over their house."
The tone deafness is in watching a man be murdered in front of you and saying, "They also kill white people". That's not about somebody gathering statistics. It's about the fact that clearly you're looking for statistics to support your cause instead of responding to the fact that a man was murdered and being outraged by it.

If you had started by joining in a chant to lock up the police officers involved, they might have listened to you after they were. Instead, it looks exactly like you're finding excuses to let those police officers off, and that's way more tone deaf than the slogan.

I've been on HN as a lurker since 2014, and am still surprised by how few people in hacker communities I am a part of are aware of the its existence. I think part of what makes the site great is the small size and structured nature of it, allowing regulars to promote its values and prevent the discussion from diluting with bad comments. There's even a 'classic' version of Hacker News where the front-page consists solely of posts upvoted by accounts created before February 2008:

Can you be more specific? I can't imagine needing to cut a longer piece into a known number of smaller pieces, rather than smaller pieces of a known size. Even if you do, won't the nice numbers be lost by having to account for kerf width? I've also built a deck and choosing the quantity of material to buy probably involved some dividing to see how many pieces I can get from a big one. But I would add a rough estimate for kerf width and length error. Dividing metric materials is often easy because they're sized in easily divisible numbers like 2.4, 3.6, or 4.8 m.
I agree about some of the points made here, but others are wrong. Sure you can write safe C, but maintaining and extending such a code base requires far more attention than working on a Rust code base. I think the criticism about additional RAM and CPU requirements is spot on. I'd love if the new Rust foundation would sponsor further engineering to reduce both requirements (although in many instances, it's an either or tradeoff).

As for the future, Rust has pioneered many features that clang lacks. E.g. incremental compilation, or multithreading (still not enabled by default).
This. When I'm looking for a product rec or review, looking up an experience doing something or even a health symptom, and many other things, the first attempt with Google is a dismal failure.. Does Google think we are so stupid that we don't see that paid garbage has replaced data in search results?

So reddit is added as a keyword.

How soon before the user generated content is fully under centralized control so they can go back to force-feeding in search?
I bought the SE2 last year and would have paid the difference to get a Mini instead if they were available at the same point in time.

This sounds like "crypto-babble" to me (sorry, but if I had a bitcoin for every time I've heard "take this phenomenon to Internet scale" I'd be a bitcoin billionaire, which I guess would either make me very rich or bankrupt depending on one's point of view).

I fully understand how the value of highly in-demand assets are a function of their restricted supply. And yes, at present, that can apply to crypto as well. I see nothing in your post to make the leap from how rare physical goods are valued that somehow NFTs can replace that.
The GP was asking in general, so your straightforward answer is explicitly wrong and must be read in that context, whether the UK's one happen to evolve into one is a bit irrelevant. Then again, even in 'recent' history, William of Orange was invited to take the English crown without primogeniture.
I'm curious, what is the threat model? For SDL, for example, what's the nightmare scenario with Github and Microsoft?
It is. On targets such as C++ where there's no native GC, Haxe brings its own (via hxcpp in this case: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/hxcpp).
Two reasons this is not likely to succeed:

1. Reality is a schelling point. Owning a physically, globally unique version of an object is more universally appreciable than owning a virtual title that only has significance insofar as the NFT shitcoin platform you "own" it on has significance. There are probably going to be dozens of these NFT platforms, and I don't see many natural dynamics that would cause one to come out ahead (unlike with money).

2. Owning the physical version of something gives you a meaningful monopoly over certain uses of the item (exhibiting the painting, wearing the shoes, etc.) whereas NFTs only give you access to one monopoly (bragging rights). It's not nothing, but it's not much either.
In fact, the focal event which led to it was not a police shooting, but the perceived lack of accountability for a non-police homicide.
> Perhaps the idea that convention and precedent is the only thing holding the British system together makes it stronger.

Coronavirus has been a pretty good litmus test for which countries have good governments, and which countries do not. The UK has consistently led the charts in terms of deaths and infections. I think it shows the fundamental defectiveness of the system itself - a defectiveness that has been pretty visible for years if you looked at the country with a critical eye, but doesn't seem to be often acknowledged, since english people have a cultural prohibition against complaining.
Yes. I had a Kubota B7800 for about fifteen years. The JD competitor was made by Iseki, priced higher, and known for hydraulic system problems. The choice was easy and I never regretted it.

At the same time I bought the Kubota I worked for a company that made automatic steering systems one could retrofit to many tractors... but not JD, who were already controlling their hydraulic system access.

Never bought JD, stuck with Kubota.
> I'm aware of that, but the reason YouTube has that process is because they don't want to get sued. If the law gave YouTube immunity by simply reporting copyright claims instead of taking them down, they would switch their process.

The DMCA already has a system that is much fairer to the average creator in the form of safe harbor provisions. YouTube doesn't like the DMCA process because it's expensive to handle and process individual claims, compared to letting their big partners just sling bogus claims across the entire site.

They'd prefer to be on the side of rightsholders over creators, simply because it's cheaper.
That's much too simplistic. For instance Linus also denounces C++ and programmers don't fall into line behind him on that front. He is influential, but could not have caused the monumental shift in version control without producing a phenomenal tool to do the job. Git largely won on its overall merit, despite having some obvious UI warts.
I had a manager deny me the promotion that he otherwise agreed I deserved because I didn't participate in enough happy hours.

I am 100% for accountability in policing, but I find it telling the number of these kinds of videos that don't show the full context and are instead 30s clips of the middle/worst part of the interaction.
They might have nonstandard contracts with big media producers that prevent YT from removing ContentID and/or require YT to grant special takedown powers, so any legal change would have to address those types of contracts (if they exist) as well.
Yep, and it's seen as a last bastion before a malevolent (even if elected) government invokes tyranny.

She'd have to be so sure that the populace would be behind her, and willing to risk the very existence of the monarchy. It'd take stopping a really "bad" thing for her to take that risk.
IIRC, Haxe is kind of a meta language that transpiles through different language/targets. IIRC, mostly GC, yes.
ASCAP, etc. will eventually want their bill paid for the public performances. That was my experience volunteering at small church coffee houses.
No offense but frankly ignore them. They are either BSing (aka, being brownnoses trying to look like "team players") or possibly don't have lives outside work.

If someone is that eager to have an event outside work, then you should ask yourself why haven't they organized one themselves? Either it is option A (they are just brownnosing and saying what they think you want to hear) or B, 80% of people don't actually want to go out to events and it is really just a loud minority saying it and the others are just agreeing to sound good.

Chances are, you haven't actually asked 80% of your employees. Most likely you heard it second hand from a manager pushing this idea (again, brownnosing or looking for promotion) or you heard it in a group setting where people don't want to be seen as not "team players" and don't say there actual opinion on it.

If you change your policy, don't be shocked if a lot of people start leaving the company for some "unexplained" reason.
Very excited about this project, since I’ve been looking to wet my feet with Elixir and numerics are the perfect niche for me!

Here’s something I’m confused about. For fast numerical code, it’s vey important to be disciplined about memory allocation. So in addition to considering of immutability -vs- mutable pre-allocation, it would seem that the scheduling model ought to be substantially different. Instead of constantly switching between concurrent processes to ensure none of them monopolize the processor, would it make more sense to finish one computation while the contents are in memory/cache, before cleaning it up and swapping to another process? (Especially for really heavy computations). Will process scheduling have to be micromanaged? Is the BEAM compatible with this mode of usage, or is this maybe not a concern?
> One problem with this line of argument is that it is often advanced in bad faith by people whose actual goal is to avoid addressing the problem at all.

Why does the intent of the person making the argument matter? The argument stands on its own merits or it doesn't.

> Another problem with the "do nothing and let it work itself on its own" approach is that it goes against many conceptions of justice.

Firstly, nobody said "do nothing." There are plenty of ways to help underprivileged people that _don't_ take their skin color into account. Secondly, do you think that affirmative action does not go against many conceptions of justice?

> If you repeatedly stole money from me, most people wouldn't consider the matter settled if you got to keep what you stole and were merely prevented from stealing yet more in the future: justice requires at least some effort to repair the past damage, even though those efforts usually quite imperfect (e.g. monetary compensation for wrongful death).

OK, let's run with your example. Let's say I stole a bunch of money from you over a period of years and blew it all on drugs. I get caught, go to court, am found guilty. I have no money (or very little, certainly not enough to pay you back), and eventually the drugs catch up to me and I die. But I have a son. Would you submit that "justice" is you collecting money from my son?

That's essentially what's happening. Nobody alive in the US today owns a slave, nor were they a slave. You can spend literally forever talking in circles about the effects of history on people of present day. Yes, things like slavery, Jim Crow, and redlining had bad impacts on black communities. Do we spend forever talking about it? No. And who gets to decide when the wrong has been "righted", anyway?

What we can do is try make society like the society we want to see. Is it "perfect"? No, it will never be. But it's better than playing swing-the-social-pendulum for another 200 years.

The whole point of my original post, and what so many people miss, is how the effort to "repair past damage" _also has negative effects_. Nobody at the time thought about the fact that welfare was trapping blacks in poverty. But it did. A well-intentioned policy change at that time arguably did more harm than good.

Today, I can tell you with confidence [1] that there are lots of white people who have taken notice that medical schools, universities, government institutions, big companies, etc. are happy to lower the bar for black folks. This has two problems: the first is that it doesn't feel fair, which is going to enrage people when the whole conversation is about what's fair. The second is that high-achieving black people will be perceived as less competent by their peers.

> I would guess that a significant contributor to the problems you outlined was an unwillingness to go the full measure to address the problem

What would "full measure" be?

[1]: with over ten anecdotal experiences, because something like this is not "socially acceptable" to study
That was one points I called out. If this is really a copyright holder sending notifications, then yes you could lose your domain. I suspect that is not what is happening though. I suspect these are bots that detect what music is in a video and automatically pull it down. It might be people clicking a button to "report" a video and then the bot listens to it. Well, the bots can't do that if the file is not under their control. But yes, you could lose your domain or worse if you are in fact intentionally violating copyrights.
Are you arguing that playing music out loud is illegal?
This is one reason that I create new account on each service every few months or until my cookies expire. I never remember or save passwords.
We need more articles like this. I hold a similar viewpoint but lack the ability to crystallize it so elegantly into a coherent argument. Well done.
If you read the whole thing, my main point was exactly the fact that that percentage is so relative/subjective/difficult to quantify.
What are you talking about? They're providing accountability for the actions of armed agents of the state, people with a literal license to kill. They're not forcing officers to do unboxing videos.

Even more fundamental is the adversarial relationship that the culture of policing has developed with the public. The warrior mindset is at the root of so many of these problems. We need to disband all of the police forces and start again with a new culture based around a guardian mindset and community service.

It's a similar problem (albeit much less extreme) to what's happening right now in Myanmar with the military. It's so difficult to defuse because the military and the civilians there have such an adversarial relationship due to the long years of dictatorship.

The solution in both cases is to reincorporate the warrior subculture (police or military) into civilian life. I just don't know how you achieve that.
