It is unfair to propose this as a general idea when you're literally paid by a company to do whatever you want to do and work on your side projects on company time.

Not all open source maintainers are this lucky (or reached such a great level of success such as Simon in this case).

Most open source maintainers have real product obligations inside their companies and either have little company time for this or have to do it entirely in their own time. Scheduling office hours seems like a luxury in these situations.
This but get it done in one. Get into live-streaming! The benefits of this office hours concept but with the potential for subscribers to the meeting-as-content.

It's not an easy run don't get me wrong, but it's gotta be easy than using up 25 minutes per person. Open source? Open meeting!

Grab yourself a copy of OBS. Get on Twitch/YouTube!

E: made it sound less of an ad? Idk that's the quickest I've ever been downvoted here haha. I watch open source coders stream once a week to like 200-400 people if the concept sounds bollocks.. That translates to beyond ramen for your Silicon Valley types and actual cost of living in other places :)
Well, building a massive internet forum to sell ads on is not really a recipe to be anodyne, right?

Some users are bound to replay real-world conflicts there. Israelis and Palestinians will scream at each other, Europeans will draw Muhammad cartoons, Rs and Ds will love each other unconditionally as usual... and all this attention sells ads, but also creates uncomfortable side effects.

Political outrage drives engagement much more than cute cats.
Yes, I had both long flu and long pneumonia. In both cases it took me about 2 months to fully recover after being officially cured. It annoys me a little that people are only now discovering that respiratory illnesses can have long-term effect. How many people know that pneumonia can increase the risk of heart attack?

Personal experience aside, it will be important to put specific numbers on the phenomenon and establish a baseline for comparison to other illnesses. So this announcement of a research effort is good news. I just hope they will put the numbers in context.
Can you name any time in history where the side burning books was in the right?

If as a society we allow companies, that are equal to (if not more powerful than) the government we elect, to pick and choose what parts of public discourse are acceptable or not, we have no one but ourselves to blame when this inevitably goes pear-shaped.

Like many other things in the past, what is legal right now may not be ethically and morally correct in the future.

You are correct that society as we know it does not cease to function immediately after the giants like amazon, facebook, twitter, ebay, etc. take a specific action like banning a book or banning a user. However, the longer term implications are far more concerning and the time to start contemplating these issues was yesterday (or any other time in the last few years). The next best time is now.
Not milliamps, milliamps-hour (mAh). It is the usual unit used in the context of battery capacity in the general public, nothing tricky here.
And that’s with insurance. Imagine how it is without. Though I think most Americans could learn a lot about the importance of taking care of themselves better by going without insurance for a while. It tends to drive a healthier lifestyle IME.
It’s not clear to me why you are being downvoted. Maybe HN Italians are longing for the glory days of the Roman Empire? Make Rome Great Again.
> Is there any solution for nuclear waste yet?

I remember reading about a possible solution: deep core drilling. Drill a 2km-deep hole, dump the waste in it, fill back in. This is different from previous schemes that are at most a few hundred meters deep. At that depth, it can't interact with aquifers or anything on the surface except at geological timescales. It's also safe from unauthorized access, even if the knowledge of the danger of the waste is ever lost. Not sure what the status of the research on this is though.
I guess it eases the mind when comparing if competitors are below 1000mAh and use that unit prefix.

It is easier/faster for the brain to compare 700mAh and 1000mAh than 700mAh and 1Ah
The article describes a practice for gathering feedback for your project: announce a set time when people can get on a call with you for a few minutes and discuss your project. The author calls this "office hours".

It's a useful piece of advice for people who are in need of such feedback, and can afford to block off a bit of time on their schedule on a regular basis. It doesn't apply to everyone, but it's a good trick if it does apply to you.
I have perused threads like this for years. Ive read most popular self help books and watched all the recommended videos. I still havent permanently cracked it, but these two things helped me more than most other things.

1. Use one monitor. Dont have videos or TV on. Dont do non work related things before work.

2. Breaking tasks into manageable chunks so you can experience meaningful progress. Watching yourself complete things spurs you on, but only if you arent dwelling on the overwhelming nature of the task. Focus on the little picture.
They shouldn’t have that freedom?
It's complicated. There are some factors that make any such comparisons very difficult, the EU is a complicated political entity uniting nearly 30 different cultures.
That is a stunning achievement. It's also not really one market, in many ways it is but to actually sell something in all member countries I need to adapt to at least 20 different markets. There are the new eastern european members who actually often have difficult political problems, there are old members like Italy with ridiculous political problems (it's not the EUs fault that founding a company or taking another company to court takes ages in Italy). It's also a rapidly aging continent, that makes a comparison to the US difficult. Sure some things are stupid, sure the EU is bureaucratic (but I always wonder how a common market with 30 countries can be done any other way), sure it's slow (how could it be any way else), but it represents more than 400 million people trying to build a shared future. And it's the only example of something like that in human history. Look how good the relationship with between the US and Mexico works, the way the US structures its relationship (guns, border walls) is mostly responsible for an insane drug war. Look how China structures it's relationship with it's neighbors. I think it's highly likely that most neighboring countries will join the EU step by step, ant the EU will adapt change, become more effective, less effective. But it's hard to compare such a unique human experiment with anything.
I would suggest that you read the article. This is not about locking you down, this is about the benefits of opening a more direct communications channel with your users.

Generally, communication with your users is a good idea, because it gives you insights in how your tools are being used, and gives you a chance to - by asking the right questions - improve your code, and your relationship with the community.

It is about building and applying soft skills.

Your full-time-working, full-time learning, open-source-contributing mother of several children may choose not to do so. Or maybe she can cut some time from the full-time learning and train her people skills, and make her open source product better. Because in the end, a well-run, useful OSS portfolio helps building reputation that is more useful in a hiring situation than deep knowledge about the shortfalls of the Dijkstra algorithm for edge cases.
Thanks, yes this is the source.
Isn't there still a big difference between 'decreasing reach' and censorship?

I'm not American, and in my country quite some speech is forbidden or can get you jailed (fuck de koning!).

So maybe for me such state censorship 'forbidding speech' is clearer distinct from 'decreasing the reach of speech'?
What is the difference between Rust XXXX edition and Rust X.X version?

I suspect it's simply a limitation of features to let the compiler version improve but have an explicit list of supported/unsupported feature every 4 years to avoid the fragmentation.

But I can't find information about this on the article.
Sounds like they avoid a lot of legal liability by staying in Japan as opposed to Western countries also.
I think there are packages that detect the python version and do some crazy stuff in setup.py. But I think the most responsible thing for a widely used library to do is hold back on using new python features until they are a few years old.
ubuntu does a lot of things where the design decision is better understood in the context of being as easy to use as possible, for the widest possible spectrum of people with zero prior linux experience, or even computer knowledge in general.
It's a lot faster than normal DDG, that's for sure.
RE books not suitable for kids. My 4 year old asked me to reed him a new book he got from who knows where; It was Noah's Ark picture book, looking like this https://www.google.com/search?q=noah%27s+ark+child+book. Right on the third page "God killed all people because they were wicked". My son was upset and demanded an explanation, which I struggled to provide. I have realised how strange it is that we tolerate child books describing mass murder in the name of religion.
In this case, you need to be American to make sense of this. And possibly you need to have been to a US university. Took me years of seeing people put a confusing number 101 on the end of guides on blogs or whatever before I realised that meant introduction to Americans.

There absolutely is. Ebay is nipping in the bud a potential social media lynching.

Ask HN: Was anyone else overwhelmed when first learning how to code?
Hey there! I am making this post because I want to get your opinion on something, so I can check whether your experience with programming is similar with mine. Some context:
I am now working as a full time developer. A few days ago, I randomly thought back to the days where I first started coding.

Interestingly enough, one of the things I remember from back then was feeling very, very confused. All the resources I needed to be able to become a great developer were there for free, but there was a problem - there was so much information out there that it was hard to know where to start. Everytime I tried to learn something new, it felt like a gamble - will I learn something new that will completely change the way I write code, or will I hit a wall and be stuck for 2 months, getting nothing done?

And then I realized - in the 2 years I've been working as a full time dev, I learned more than in 6 years fooling around by myself. Why was that? The answer was pretty simple - I was surrounded by people who have already been there before. But, the fascinating thing is the following: these people never once took my keyboard and started typing away when I asked them for help with a bug. They didn't go to the closest whiteboard and hold a 45 minute seminar whenever I was confused by some obscure design pattern. They simply told me - "oh.. why don't you look X up on Google", or "check out this class, it does something similar to what you need". And that was it; they just told me where to look, and that made all the difference.

So, this is what I want to get your opinion on. Do you relate to this as a senior developer looking back on your early days? Are you just starting out and feeling overwhelmed? Did you just save the new collague 4 hours of work by telling him where to look in the code?

I've made a survey to see what your experience looks like. It takes around 2 minutes, here it is:

Sorry, but this reminds me a bit of the "now they are 15 standards" quote.

While well-intentioned, I think it's likely people will simply be checking Sunday and Facebook.
Yes, annex k was generally judged to not be very helpful in practice[0]. However, I agree that it might make more sense as a component of an environment that mandates strict static analysis and code review. (Microsoft also has other extensions with similar roles, e.g. their in and out parameters.) In that context, it makes perfect sense: microsoft wanted to upstream some components of their static analysis pipeline, but those components ended up being useless without the rest of the pipeline.

Yes in California/Arizona sunny weather on wide US roads with. My experiences with even driving assist on small twisty road in the snow tells me me things are nowhere close. The car was accelerating in situations (e.g. coming over the crest of a small incline with a corner at the end), where no driver would ever accelerate and which would have resulted in some bad situation without intervention. We have seen Teslas getting confused by fork in the roads on the highway.

Yet another example of a glib response ignoring the actual facts in the article and ironic to boot given that lithium-ion suffers from several of the flaws listed. The funny thing is, none of the claims you make are correct and you miss the point where this tech is specifically designed to cover areas where Li-ion fails (like high temp and places where having a battery explode into flaming debris is a bad thing.)
> 100Mbps download so that multiple people can simultaneously stream 4k video is not a sane default.

Yes it is because this is how many people already live. If you’re a typical family of four everyone has at least one device they stream content on.

Capacity is measured as a product of current and time,

> Microsoft’s approach involves replacing the relevant functions with their Annex K variants, which is why the list is so long!

No, Microsoft's approach involves replacing the relevant functions with functions that are semantically different (and incompatible to) the Annex K functions.

[EDIT: In case anyone is wondering, the Annex K functions that Microsoft provides will compile error-free on a conforming implementation (function signatures are the same), but because they are incompatible with what each parameter means sometimes they will crash].

> We're in NYC

Exactly, this conversation is about how terrible internet is when you aren’t in the most densely populated urban areas. Yes, it’s mostly fine in cities and even ok inside some small towns. It’s usually terrible when you live outside of the small-town city limits and not on a state highway.

> and it works well enough so we’re not going to tear it out

Your 200Mbps connection is definitely not on original infrastructure. For the 50 million plus people living with DSL connections which get barely 6mbps download on a good day, they would not agree that the older infra we have “works fine”. I know many people with this story because I’m from a part of the country like that — drive across America, and you’ll see that nearly everywhere is very sparsely populated. That covers a lot of people! You might be able to experience this yourself eventually if you go on a road trip and stay at a hotel not in a large city.

I don’t think it’s nonsensical to suggest that the US could also be building out a nationwide fiber network, and I think we should be striving towards that.
> Before civilization, it used to be that the most violent person in the group could simply take whatever they wanted.

My understanding is that in hunter-gatherer societies, that is not the case and they were (and are) quite egalitarian. E.g. (https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/freedom-learn/201105...):

>The writings of anthropologists make it clear that hunter-gatherers were not passively egalitarian; they were actively so. Indeed, in the words of anthropologist Richard Lee, they were fiercely egalitarian.[2] They would not tolerate anyone's boasting, or putting on airs, or trying to lord it over others. Their first line of defense was ridicule. If anyone—especially some young man—attempted to act better than others or failed to show proper humility in daily life, the rest of the group, especially the elders, would make fun of that person until proper humility was shown.

>One regular practice of the group that Lee studied was that of "insulting the meat." Whenever a hunter brought back a fat antelope or other prized game item to be shared with the band, the hunter had to express proper humility by talking about how skinny and worthless it was. If he failed to do that (which happened rarely), others would do it for him and make fun of him in the process. When Lee asked one of the elders of the group about this practice, the response he received was the following: "When a young man kills much meat, he comes to think of himself as a big man, and he thinks of the rest of us as his inferiors. We can't accept this. We refuse one who boasts, for someday his pride will make him kill somebody. So we always speak of his meat as worthless. In this way, we cool his heart and make him gentle."

Actually you have the property rights angle all wrong: People who control the publishing rights and the intellectual property behind an ecommerce platform to distribute things have both decided they don't want to sell certain works for whatever reason. A stupid one IMO. But it's within their rights as we currently understand corporate power. Perhaps we shouldn't be so willing to indulge liberal market freedoms as they can be a double-edged sword - property owners can "censor" cultural touchstones thanks to powerful intellectual property laws.

To fix your analogy: Someone comes to YOUR house and demands you release a "problematic" work of fiction to the public from your private collection because people are censoring it and people need to see its no big deal. You refuse, because it's yours and you don't feel like it... maybe you agree with the rabble? Either way... you know your rights.

If you want to defeat cancel culture you should advocate for LESS property rights, less market "freedom", and strong labor protections. This whole idea that you can somehow defeat a moral panic with some sort of counter moral panic (or backlash) has been tried for over 40 years - it's not working.
This is ridiculous. Historians should be allowed to freely read original, non-critically annotated, historical documents. Otherwise they cannot do their job.
I am happy to see snprintf isn't on the list. It's the best C99 string function, both safe and useful.
But you can dictate what eBay must allow its users to sell?
Not only that, if this battery had been available first then the attack on someone pushing Li-ion would have been:

[x] it lacks thermal stability at low or high temperatures.

[x] it is too likely to catch fire or explode.

Too many people think Li-ion is magic, when it just happens to occupy a particular niche of characteristics that let it get a good early jump in the race for portable power. Nothing about the chemistry involved mandates it remain in a position of primacy.
Well, this proves something. It's not a matter of money. It never was. I once ran the numbers what it would take to successfully upzone a 2 million dollar house so that the resulting rent would be reasonable. The goal was $3k/month for 700sqft which is well below $61k/year. The minimum upzoning needed would involve a 2 story building with 6 apartments in total. At $5k per month one could probably get away with a triplex that would even fit in with the rest of the neighborhood and by fit in I mean it would be indistinguishable from every other house.

It's not the money. It's that doing the right thing is illegal.
No, but I bet you could manipulate a child using sugar. Probably lots of adults too.
> I know the common refrain is "Delete Facebook!" but that's the equivalent of abstinence-only education. We need to start talking about how to configure Screen Time on iOS, or how to use Facebook's built-in tools to hide content you don't want to see. We also need to encourage people to take control of their feeds, muting users and topics who draw them into unproductive discussions.

Those tools are provided by exactly the same companies that were manufacturing the addiction in the first. The tools can be revoked or changed the second they show signs of actually being effective.

Sorry, but this is like asking your drug dealer to help you with becoming clean.

Qualcomm recently released a platform which has 5G and decent compute, which could be used for this. https://www.qualcomm.com/products/qualcomm-robotics-rb5-plat...

Likely would have to build some autonomy into the system to handle scenarios where the communication gets patchy or the user is about to crash into something.

Now you only need to install 5G on the Grand Canyon.

Or even towards patronage. Crowdfunding is already a thing. Government grants are already a thing.
One example in Bernese Oberland I like: There's a ski resort Lenk. People say they live «in the Lenk» or they travel «to the Lenk». In German you have to know that the genus of «Lenk» is femimine and use the dative or the accusative: «in der Lenk» or «zur Lenk».

That's very weird but even to me omitting the article and preposition sounds wrong. By the way «to the» is contracted from the long for «zu der» to «zur».

Compared to «Frankfurt am Main» there's no specification of a river or something else. It's just the location name where the article and preposition is often required.
