I know, I should have clarified that. But to be honest, most newspapers use more then the essential tokens.

As I wrote, I find the blocking of the website and the placement of the banner unconvinient. I am also convinced that it should be mandatory to have a "essential cookies only" button.

I just wanted to explain what the banner is for, as the parent comment did not understand the german text.
Condoned by whom?
I've been doing van life for about a year and a half now. Zoom is the real killer and I try and steer my calls to audio as often as I can. I'm also a sysadmin/compliance consultant so I don't need as much screen time.
My setup:
Internet: Xfinity Wifi in city / TMobile Max for the road unlimited phone and 40GB tether. I've not yet tried to do all my zoom on the phone but in theory that would mean your Zoom wouldn't count against you. As some folks point out coverage gets crappy in the sticks and you'll need either ATT or Verizon to cover those holes.
Laptop: HP 13 with a homemade lap desk and chairback
Van: Ford handi that I converted
Comfort: Meh, I've plans to improve the bed design but probably less of an issue for you folks.
Then get paid for the work. I just don't want licenses that pretend to be OSS or Free software when they are not.
It perfectly supports my hypothesis. Cobol is bloody 60+ old. It was in the category of “oh so old" languages in 80s already, and it took another 40 years to reach the point when its code became too old to support.
> to extradite criminal suspects to mainland China

I did not know that Taiwan is part of mainland China! When did the reunification happen?

In all serious though, the original bill was because HK government wanted to extradite someone who killed his pregnant girlfriend to Taiwan, I wonder when did people spin this into extradition to mainland China now?
The reason I mentioned GitHub Enterprise instead of GitHub website is because the former one is not a service. It is a software distributed to the end user.

Based on your comments, it seems that the existing releases of the GitHub Enterprise are in GPL violation states due to the transitive dependency.
No. It REALLY ISN'T!!!
Yeah, OP should've removed other portions of the headline to fit in the length limit. Just lopping it off like this is bad.
That's probably true. I don't run one board though. I run ~12 24/7 for years. I also run many other devices from uSD cards that get turned on/off hundreds of times a day on occasion, when I'm doing some development, including forced power cuts.

I didn't have many issues with my consumer cards of choice, which are Sandisk Ultra A1, which I chose because they are cheap, not too slow and not too fast (interface limit is 23MiB/s and there's no point using faster cards), made by the actual manufacturer of the NAND chips not just some packager buying random NAND chips from a bucket on the spot market, and have verifiable origin via scratch codes.

Not sure about their failure modes, because all of the cards I had fail on me so far were Samsung ones. (some/most of them probably fakes, because I bought them on aliexpress, and Samsung didn't give a crap about consumers being able to verify origin of the card, until very recently and for select cards only)

So far I'm very happy. Cheap and reasonably reliable low power storage.

I guess if I had 10000's of cards in the wild in harsher conditions, I'd care if 1/100 failed on me per year. But in home conditions, 1/100 per year means 1 card failing every 2-3 years in any of my devices, which is very tolerable, and easy to recover from.
You can't produce information out of thin air, so basically your "generator" would need to store all information in the file somehow, and it boils down to writing good compressor to store it.
That's currently a technical limitation because they haven't built all the infrastructure into their "new" browser to handle all the available plugins and don't want to receive thousands of bug reports they can't do anything about.
That sort of feels like complaining your ferrari has the same size gas tank as a Civic. It's not why the car was made.
> GME exposed how undercapitalized they were...

Or, more accurately, the extreme volatility of GME led to increased collateral requirements that Robinhood couldn't meet. (It was like billions of dollars, iirc.) Or, otherwise, it's not that Robinhood was undercapitalized (or even is undercapitalized!)—just that the goalposts moved suddenly and unexpectedly.

PFOF is still a little squirrel-y. Ditto on Levine and others, and tied up in all that T+2 settlement issue, too.
>For a while we've had a take-home test and that has increased our success rate somewhat. But as you say, we really don't want to lay unreasonable expectations on people who may have other obligations

These are mutually exclusive things. Candidates who have more free time to code are more likely to be better at it than those who don't (all else equal). Candidates who have OSS maintenance / leadership experience are more likely to work well in teams (all else equal).

If you choose not to weight those things, to balance the playing field for people who have more obligations outside of work, then you'll also have lesser quality candidates (again, generally).

So if you're struggling to hire good candidates, maybe it's a good idea to weight these things (and bias against people with less free time outside work). Once you have good candidates, and this is no longer a pressure on your business, then it might be a good time to try and balance the playing field for new hires.

But you cannot balance the playing field and also hire the best candidates. The best candidates will have unfair advantages in general. You can either lean towards having the best or lean towards balancing the playing field.
Headline truncation inadvertently tells truth...
Out of process mean a loss in performance itself due to marshaling cross process calls and data. When your dealing with UI orchestration its probably better / faster to run an interpreter with no cross process overhead than a JIT with the overhead. Think Web Workers which have similar issues, you have to keep your communication with worker chunky for good performance.
>I say "often" because OSS contributions can still be an indicator of something, but it's not really clear what.

It's a fairly clear signal of skill quality and attitude.

Reading open source commits/PRs and issue trackers tells you quite a lot about a developer which you can't see without some sort of a test (often not even then).

>it's biased against people who don't have the time

Surely any career that requires a high level of skill and practice honing that skill is biased against people who don't have the time?

What's special about open source?
Ah yeah, generally I look at jobs all over the place. It’s still relatively rare to see something I’d qualify as “interesting” but I do see them. Typically when I do find them they require significant professional experience within the respective domain. The worst possible example I can think of are any jobs dealing with scientific software where it’s made clear they want scientists who can program a little not programmers who know a bit of science.
Truth. I thought I'd be able to cut out more than I've been able to - we downloaded movies before leaving, I have over-the-air TV, etc.

But, it turns out my habits rely on a lot of data - streaming spotify, streaming security cameras to check back home, streaming tools at work... it's kind of eye opening honestly.
I don't see the economics working out. You're going to be competing against the 3090, which has 24GB of memory and costs 3x as much as a 3070 (MSRP), but also 78% more shaders. Just to match the 3090's compute capacity is going to cost you $1000 (or $891 if you amortize over multiple cards). That leaves you $500 for the memory chips, labor, and equipment. According to [1], the memory chips cost $12/GB. You won't be able to reuse the existing memory chips, so that means you'll need to buy 16GB of chips for each of the cards, which works out to $384. At this point there's only $116 left, and I doubt anyone would go for this considering that the 3090 only costs $116 more, but has more memory (24 GB), and has full warranty.

Woz dug the windows phone in the earlier lumia stages prior to the wp8 NT kernel with everything else gutting.

this is the one book I most want for Christmas - the true account of what happened to the windows phone interface. I was constantly in awe to behold the developments as they happened ; literally "too good to be true" electrocuted me in my chair every time I read the latest.
I will eat my hat if this takes a year to resolve, or costs 1 billion dollars (excluding lost revenue due to closure, I have no idea what that is).
Founders, how many rejections did you get before you secured a lead investor?
As a first-time founder raising for first (seed or pre-seed) round, how common is rejection? On average, how many investors would you have to speak with before you can get a "yes"? What have you learned from those rejections?
I have an off grid space that I work from. For connectivity, I use a 5G phone on T-mobile with the EasyTether app (which tethers over USB and doesn't count as hotspot data). I have an RPi connected to the phone and a travel wifi router connected to the RPi over ethernet.

That said, 5G service is pretty good in my location, speeds are fine, but isn't the cheapest solution ($70/mo.
IIRC, there was someone who had written some networking code in Linux and independently started sueing hardware vendors for GPL violations. The Software Freedom Conservancy said that he was doing more harm than good, and said that if someone is violating the GPL, lawsuits should first only require compliance with the GPL, then seek punitive damages if they fail to comply.

The article is about Paying Attention, not paying. This is radically misleading (and a little ironic).

The author doesn't like pytest fixtures, but personally they're one of my favorite features of pytest.

Here's an example use case: I have a test suite that tests my application's interactions with the DB. In my experience, the most tedious part of these kinds of tests is setting up the initial DB state. The initial DB state will generally consist of a few populated rows in a few different tables, many linked together through foreign keys. The initial DB state varies in each test.

My approach is to create a pytest fixture for each row of data I want in a test. (I'm using SQLAlchemy, so a row is 1-1 with a populated SQLAlchemy model.) If the row requires another row to exist through a foreign key constraint, the fixture for the child row will depend on the fixture for the parent. This way, if you add the child test fixture to insert the child row, pytest will automatically insert the parent row first. The fixtures ultimately form a dependency tree.

Finally in a test, creating initial DB state is simple: you just add fixtures corresponding to the rows you want to exist in the test. All dependencies will be created automatically behind the scenes by pytest using the fixtures graph. (In the end I have about ~40 fixtures which are used in ~240 tests.)
out of all the words, why is 'attention' is being cut off...

>She added: “Yes, he was my election agent. This was one of a number of ways I was seeking to reconcile my relationship with my father after coming out of care. On reflection, I can understand that it was unacceptable for me to appoint my dad as my election agent when he had been arrested.”

Do you really think that someone hiring a convicted pedophile as their election agent isn't a big deal? Doesn't it make you wonder why reddit hired this person, and then made a top-down effort to suppress their name?

The problem is that we (as a species) are moving far too much, far too far.
Hm, I see what you mean. I worry about that - I think generally you don't record a large corporation, you record another person (or people). Those people might be in a position of authority, sure, but being able to publish highly out of context footage is potentially far more power than anyone should have used against them.

Tricky.
Show HN: Vinum – SQL Processor for Python with native Python, Numpy UDF Support
Why would reddit hire this kind of person and then _PROTECT_ and _HIDE_ this decision. Strange.
> we've had many people in the past who've interviewed very well but turned out to be completely incompetent when assigned to a real project.

Unpopular opinion on HN: This is actually quite common when you hire based purely on resumes or credentials. Some people are really good at interviewing and being charismatic enough to convince people to hire them. There are a lot of candidates who can talk the talk but really just want a job where they can browse Reddit and Twitter all day while writing a couple lines of code every once in a while. There are a lot of companies that are big enough for these people to blend in for years.

Take home tests in the range of 1-4 hours shouldn’t be an undue burden on any applicants, if you give sufficient time to return the test. Many candidates wouldn’t bat an eye at taking a day to interview on site, so asking them to spend a couple hours of their free time on an interview isn’t really a disproportionate ask.

Giving someone a 20-40 hour take home project would be ridiculous, of course, but reasonably sized problems are perfectly reasonable.
> Going with the principle of live and let live, when you visit or move to some place with a different culture, it's on you to fit in.

Live and let live works for small things where there is no material effect on others, such as your spouse’s ethnicity or gender. For matters affecting others, such as noise, pollution, etc. live and let live is not applicable.

For all of those matters, the ultimate force is might makes right, but some places have democracy that allows votes to serve as proxy for might, or frequently money serves as proxy for might.
This. I do look back at Austin in the 80's and 90's wistfully. Was fully cognizant how lucky I was but realized where it was heading and had to let that pretty girl go.
I may be suffering from this misconception so would be happy for you to explain more / share an explanation. Doesn’t more transactions mean more fees, so more incentive to mine?
That isn't the defense though, they're making a pragmatic decision based on which contract is going to cause them the most harm if not fulfilled, which is the UKs.

Can you show the harassment versus comment about the situation?
Go on? There are areas where more-wealthy South Asians are prominent, I don’t know if they took over from whites or Latinos though (Cupertino, etc.). White and Asian techies and financiers have displaced white and Latino non-techies, overall. I’m sure there are towns and neighborhoods I’m missing the picture on.
Rails isn't considered GPL because of this dependency. It is in violation of the GPL¹, which is copyright infringement. Releasing the violating software under the GPL is one way to stop that infringement, but that's not an automatic legal mechanism.

If a copyright owner decides to pursue a GPL violation, they could get damages² and enforce that the infringement stops (i.e. cease using the GPL-licensed software). It's incredibly unlikely any judge would force anybody to release source code.

¹ Actually, Rails itself isn't even in violation, because the project satisfies all the obligations the GPL imposes. GitHub would be in violation.

² In this case, where infringement wasn't intentional, they'd probably get almost nothing provided that the defendant stopped infringing when they learned of it.
what types of plants do you grow? what is your climate like?

gardeners' advice that is along the lines of "what you do is wrong, what i do is right" is generally not very good, and you can feel fine telling them thanks on moving on with your life.
- Every set of goods has its own regulations. Ships carry all sorts of goods.

- Every country has different customs regulations, so paperwork is not really that reusable across ports.

- Customs is a huge source of fraud. In poorly managed countries it is one of the prime vectors for bribery and corruption. So destination ports have to verify everything even if they do receive the paperwork, because there’s no trust.

Generally speaking if you want to cut customs red tape your options are some kind of free trade deal (which is not necessarily popular and never covers all types of goods), or banding together with a bunch of different countries to submit to one supranational entity like the EU. In fact we have a live example of how complicated customs arrangements can be; look at how trade from UK to EU has been disrupted by Brexit and the introduction of customs.
Interesting, thanks. Lots of information there, and this should all be investigation better.
I think people simply don't have the timeframes, we're working with here, in mind.

We're RVing it. Took the house with us, so we're able to socially distance -almost- as well as if we were at home. Still getting amazon deliveries, plus blue apron for meals. It's a bit more exposure, but it's manageable so far.
It's a choice of course, but I look at test functions like other functions. If you can name a function such that it doesn't need a comment (but also doesn't use 100 characters to do that), I'll gladly take that over a comment. Same like in all other code: if you need comments to explain what it does, it's likely not good enough and/or needs to be put in a function which tells what it does. Comments on why it does stuff the way it does are of course where it's at.

It’s not exclusively for middle class, sure, but that’s their main target market. It has other users, and it’s great if it’s solving their problems as well.

Yeah, I'm sure that other plugin is great and all, but once Tim Pope puts his name on something, it becomes an instant default for me.

I think on these points I agree. Given how fast and efficient even the cheaper microcontrollers have become there's not a reason for any new spec to avoid the highest quality error detection and correction.

It's fair to point out that my decent results with this equipment might partially be down to a pretty RF-quiet environment, avoiding USB hubs for all the reasons a person might want to avoid USB hubs, avoiding piling on devices, and so on. Trying to make some of this equipment fail would be an interesting thing to experiment with someday.
The Reddit administration continues to make terrible decisions as usual. The site's a far cry from how it was 10 years ago.

Perhaps what makes this case most interesting is they're in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. If they fire the admin, they'll likely be labeled as *-phobic, but if they don't, they'll likely be branded as pedophile supporters.
> not everyone wants their phones commercialized.

While your statement is technically correct, the number of users falling into that category, and would go the extra effort to ensure a non-commercialized day to day phone is usable, is infinitesimally small. Most users embrace the convenience associated with the commercial solution.

This will be a tiny niche phone
It’s not being salvaged at the most promising way, the many tugs that surrounds are just not fully capable, the biggest of all is less than 200ton bollard pull, together with 2 less than 100ton. Surely it’s for the reason of both cost saving and only gathering available resources from around? If it get stuck for longer than few days I bet better capable tugs would appear to end the scene
I suggest you re-read that thread. The examples cited are his opinions.

The FSF is going to be stuck defending him now now, regardless if it’s in their mission or not. Maybe not every press conference but enough to be a distraction at best, no matter the source.

I wouldn’t suggest a non-engineer for a lead position in the FSF, but I would suggest they look to someone who hasn’t held such polarizing and objectionable opinions on such a polarizing topic.
Reddit has never been a bastion of anything. One sub is radically different from another. Maybe you mean they allowed the subs to do whatever they wanted in their own sub as long as it wasn't illegal, but that seemingly hasn't been the case for a while.
Do any APIs standardise on a simple secret key pattern that can be easily identified as a secret? For example, all secrets have a "secret-" prefix? Or is this idea unworkable?

I usually try and prefix e.g. fields in config files with "secret" to make it obvious they shouldn't be committed.

Is the word “gentrification” used in describing the shift?
Probably because people don't do this at scale. Fermi and Kepler also used laser cuts near the die to disable cores, some people enabled them with a bit of soldering (not always successful because the cores are often actually non-functional). Not sure about newer ones.

Maxwell cards could also be upgraded from 4-6GB to 8GB. This has actually been a cool mod for a long time, earliest I can remember are the ATi Radeon 9x00 and nVidia GeForce 4 Ti cards, people used to double the RAM for fun and profit.
How to successfully do documentation without a maintenance burden?
Indeed, they throttle down to 256kbps when you reach the cap but they'll let you unthrottle for $10/GB. Kinda expensive if you ask me, but might be a possibility.

Mint Mobile is similar to Google Fi, and their cap is higher (35GB). But I don't think they'll allow more data to be purchased.

Maybe the real solution here would be to purchase several plans and simpl change them SIM when cap is reached.
It isn't anywhere near Harlem but they created a special zone that connected HY through central park to Harlem so that it could qualify for special redevelopment incentives.
Yes, I'm cynical about Austin proper specifically, especially as my property taxes have 4x in the last 10 years and the piles of human excrement on the street have grown. If you do the math around the bonds that come due in the next 5 years, it's going to get ugly.

But I can hope that people will think before they push for the same behavior and policies that they've left.. but not counting on it.
For me, it only broke websites when I had the extra options enabled in settings (enabled by default). I’d recommend turning them all off and trying to use it again
Yeah, you are right. I think the engine I recall was the successor of Genesis3D, some ActiveX-thing from WildTangent. Whole different beast. I remember making a Stargate using that feature :-D. Must have been around 2000.
