All this is true, but doesn't it apply just as much to writing descriptive test function names?

Test function names are less sensitive than regular functions, since they're not explicitly called, but I still don't want to read a_sentence_with_spaces_replaced_by_underscores.
Assigning a price to a given (large) region is the easy part.

The hard part is cache invalidation! For a stationary Starlink dish, every satellite knows which cell a given dish is in, and they cooperate to route packets to that cell when they can.

For a mobile Starlink dish, they have to be able to invalidate that cache every time it moves, instead of having a cushion of a few hours for the occasional move.

It can be done, but I don't blame them for punting on that problem for awhile.
I think the problem here is liability.

If I buy a phone from you, and then download an app that bricks it, I want my money back from you.

Yes, you can argue that I'm responsible for that, but consumer protection laws will apply, and there's going to be a court case, possibly even a class action suit. Too many uneducated users who refuse to take personal responsibility for their actions. Yes, it's not ideal, but this is how people are.

Your response has at some point got to include vetting the software that your users can download onto their phone, for purely financial reasons.

If I buy a laptop, and then install Linux on it, and download a malicious package and install it, then that's on me. If someone buys a Dell laptop and downloads a malicious application and installs it, then Dell support gets to deal with that problem. After a while, Dell is going to install some software by default to help with this, and spy on what users have been doing purely so that if they mess up then Dell can help. Eventually this happens enough and Windows gets an app store, and fairly soon after a version of Windows that can only install apps via the app store.

This is not about control for control's sake, or revenue (except saving support costs). This is about protecting people from themselves.

But sure, if Pine can put a big sticker on the phone saying "do not install anything on this phone" and make that legally binding, then they won't need an app store.

i generally end up writing a data generator using the language and apis in the application. I often want control over various aspects of the data and built the generator as such. Quite often I just generate queries and then run them which works quickly.

While this looks like a good way to generate simple data, practical applications are more involved.
SmartBlock can only kick in when tracking content is actively being blocked by tracking protection. If you'd like that to be on all the time, you can turn strict (or custom) tracking protection on in all windows, but of course the trade off is that you'll likely experience more site breakage, like you might in private browsing windows.
The biggest challenge comes with the fact that you're often dealing with rescue dogs that are so wildly different from one another that you'd need a huge population and extremely consistent methods to show a meaningful result.

It's more doable if things are controlled (e.g. take a bunch of German Shepherd puppies given to very experienced trainers at birth), but those circumstances don't necessarily tell you what the "best" method is in a generalizable fashion.
We see them all over in Minnesota/North Dakota.
Perhaps our current society is more complicated than a feudal medieval one.

I reckon in this article you could replace 'accountant' with any varied number of professions (lawyer, banker, science expert, IT expert etc. etc.) and the article would seem equally veracious.
He is politely refuting your point.
“The commercial app store model does not work, at least not for the user.”

I will be more direct for your benefit.

Not only are you wrong. You’re wrong on a scale so large, 100 years ago the average person had never thought of numbers that high.

Not only is the commercial App Store system working for users, it’s working for billions of them. Billions of humans are cool with it.

Your “open App Store” concept works for so few people, as to hardly be compared in the same breath.
It should be pointed out, however, that the mapping apps available on the PinePhone are little more than tech demos. Their feature set is vastly smaller than e.g. OSMAnd on Android. For me, even if the PinePhone took over my phone calls, Signal messenging, etc., I would still need to carry around an Android phone for decent maps.
And now everybody should look for a text from 2003 written by jwz mentioning the "Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers model" and slowly read it again, then think how much time passed since.
I was going to say a similar thing. On one drive from SF to Spokane I was driving through central Oregon in the winter. There must have been a bald eagle on every other fence post for 10 miles at one point. counted over 100 birds of prey, most of them bald eagles.
I'm no longer a digital nomad. But, when I was . . .

* Macbook Pro 13". Ended up with a Spanish keyboard partway through travels when I had to replace a stolen laptop in Barcelona

* Google Fi. Had great tethering, and you can pay per-gigabyte to maintain data speeds after the typical 15gb limit.

* iPad as a second monitor

* Apple international power adapters

* Geoblue for health insurance

* Occassional WeWork membership. Today I'd take a look at their All Access offering. But, many cities have _some_ kind of coworking option.

* (Couldn't find any insurance to cover stolen laptops, and Airbnb's insurance apparently doesn't cover it either)
True - I think it depends on who uses your test outputs. If PMs and BAs care, having a more verbose output (descriptions, pretty graphs, etc) helps a lot. If it’s just for devs then they can more happily go through the code base.
I think it's impossible to run a big site like reddit without having disasters, and as sites grow, more users will inevitably be more irritated by decisions one way or another. I'd rather not see one viable alternative, but instead many dozens of hackernews sized sites.

Even outside of this issue, homogenization of the internet is a bit boring. Why do /r/vexillology, /r/vexillologycirclejerk, /r/mapporn, /r/shittymapporn and /r/mapporncirclejerk (boards about flags and maps and then boards where the same users make fun of themselves), need to be on the same website with the same admins as /r/mma and /r/boxing (boards about watching people fight each other)?
I'm sceptical about that detail because the UK is pretty zealous at paying attention to and prosecuting women believed to have been actively supporting the sex offences and there dont appear to have been any charges, or even any insinuations from the press.
IMO the political posturing is paramount. Ultimate goal is to provide an sufficient truth calibrated to deter bluff calling. Fundamentally most countries don't want to or have capability to intervene, so the purpose is to give competing parties a credible "out" with manageable political cost, i.e. reduce bluff calling to angry letters / sanctions versus hard military retaliation. Gain objective while deter / mitigate the most unwanted responses.
"This historian has faith that mountains can be moved so illusion may become reality" reads as sarcasm to me. If you didn't mean it that way, then your comment lacked enough information to make your good intentions clear.
My friend did email them. A “specialist” was assigned 2 days ago. But there is high support request volume, you see.
I wonder if false-positives often result in GitHub sending secrets to the wrong service.
Not sure about Gnome, but one used to be able to install KDE on windows https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-kde-in-windows/

IIRC even KDE plasma worked. But these days there are a few KDE apps on the microsoft store or on kde.org.

Even if you could install that on windows (compiling everythong with cygwin?), it wouldn't really be windows, mind you.
No, 300mm is correct and refers to physical size of whole silicon wafer[1]. 300mm (commonly known as 12") is currently the biggest class of silicon wafers.

Naka factory was producing 300mm wafers using 28nm process [2].

Then I quit.

Now I'm happy.
And then do what with it? Do you think most people selling land in northern Minnesota accept “dai” as payment?

Yeah because flatpacks are a joy to use. /sarc
The older I get, the less time I have to fumble around with crappy user interfaces on half assed software. I’m far more willing to pay, or even used closed source software because it gets the job done, and sparks joy.
"Parkinson's gene may impair how new neurons are made throughout our lifetime."

This title is rather misleading, as the neurons relevant to Parkinson's disease are generally not made at all, after birth.
Are you sure? It’s a 300mm wafer fab.

Here’s another article that outlines their current fab wafer size.

Yeah fair question.

I love their GUI, the way projects are organized and RBAC is handled across them. Creating custom cpu/mem ratio machines.

Little things like VMs in a kubernetes cluster being viewable as VMs (they’re obscured in Azure I’ve learned).

Pricing!

Like, there are very few ways they’re not my favorite cloud provider. Which speaks to how unspeakably horrible their support is that at my current org I am not going with them.

Because at the end of the day, a pretty good infrastructure product that you can get support for wins every time over an excellent one that when it breaks is catastrophic and nobody listens.

I’m spending this week rebuilding all my Azure infra because I learned about 10 different ways they hide ridiculous price increases in what you build and my infra costs twice what I thought it would. But I literally can’t get ahold of someone at Google to help me become a customer.

Meanwhile I’m not even paying for support at Azure yet and when I sent an email about the pricing I got a response from a human who checked up on my satisfaction, and then from her boss, who was checking on my satisfaction with the first email.
On the ther hand, it implies that if at some other place these processes happened 1% more quickly, or started 1% earlier, then that civilization would have had tens of millions of years head start to us; they'd have rocket launches back long before Earth had its first primates

It indicates that if we ever meet someone, it's extremely unlikely that they'd be of remotely comparable tech level, more likely they'd be millions of years behind in evolution (i.e. pre-intelligence) or millions of years ahead in technological development i.e. something that's hard to imagine, our fantasies are mostly about extrapolating a millenium of actual novel development.

"The threshold necessary for small groups to conduct warfare has finally been breached and we are only starting to feel its effects. Over time, perhaps in as little as 20 years, and as the leverage provided by technology increases, this threshold will finally reach its culmination—with the ability of one man to declare war on the world and win" John Robb 2007
Thanks. That doesn’t work with most financial institutions (or the ones I use). No matter what you type, they normalize the address in a USPS-mandated format, and automatically find out it’s an issue. “suite” is not going to trick anyone.
That's the strangest definition of "completion" I've ever heard.
I was imagining a pricing model based on what you're calling tickets, so I'm not sure quite what your hypothetical culture would achieve, but I suspect we've misunderstood each other there.

Also, please remember that AWS was exactly the example I gave originally of a pricing model that has a deterrent effect because it's so hard to understand.
The current push-back isn't about that conflict. (If we're talking about the same conflict, I agree with your assessment.) It's about everything else.
The phone and chat buttons never show up for me. We’re on a non-profit plan so maybe that’s why.
Smarter, not harder, seems to be the solution ;)

Like, say, giving the engineers more say in the goals for the next process(es) to make them achievable. Talking, not ruling.
This is excellent! Hope you get some sales to make up for the effort :)
My comment was more a direct response to the parent comment's question 'If anyone can give me an example of some political belief that is not justified in being "unacceptable"…', but my scenario only fits a wider definition "being silenced by political correctness". Every American probably has a different definition of what "political correctness is a problem in our country" means. The classic definition from right-leaning Americans is "the fight on how to say and do things in the most inclusive way possible is getting in the way of actually doing the things." But me being silenced by my in-laws fits under the umbrella of political correctness if you define it as "the ardor of your support for the 'correct' political thinking burns others". That concept currently goes by other names currently. I call it culture wars and general tribalism. I think the political correctness fight of a decade ago has shifted and evolved into the broader tribalism of today. So "political correctness" as you described it doesn't fit, but I think it fits with how I think the survey respondents interpreted it.
Anyone that would seek power should not have power, and the best way to guard against that is to ensure accountability, objective based rules enforcement where an individuals subjective beliefs are not a factor

unfortunately all of these platforms focus almost exclusively on subjective "We know bad things when we see them" type of rules
Please no. I love discord and after seeing what they did to my boy skype. I can just see all the bans coming in just like tumblr did.
Shooting down unaccounted for drones isn't bloodlust, it's common sense. They should have taken down at least a couple of them to try and ascertain what's going on, how can you defend against something that you don't understand.
Intel’s announcement already represents a major pivot.

But regardless, most threads on HN allow for tangents to explore ideas. Even if the root fork from the topic appears unfounded.
Lots of bald eagles are around Ohio now too! I never remember seeing any 20 years ago but now we have a few nests in our neighborhood.
fair point, my reference to "the current difference" was more about the ongoing Crimea situation rather than the HK situation, I should have been more clear in that regard. I still believe that in the HK case there's a vested interest of certain political elite (rather than economic) strata to be aligned with Beijing.
> It would be better to have a switch mode PS generate the voltages required for erasing (effectively required for every write).

Interestingly, chips like simple USB and Ethernet controllers sometimes do feature an on-die switched-mode DC-DC circuitry to simplify the system design. You just connect an inductor and a capacitor to the DC-DC pin, and route its output to the Vcore input, pretty convenient.
The point was that the list of admins that could be 'doxxed' wouldn't include Alexis Ohanian or any admin that actually posts under their real name.

Of course in this instance it appears the opposite happened and nobody knew Challenor (a pretty obscure figure whose political career probably deserves the past tense) was involved with Reddit at all until the modding Streisanded it.
Or like LinkedIn...
Here is a back of the envelope.

First of all, the important thing is the R number - how many people does the average infected person infect. If that is above 1, you get spread. Below 1, it dies out. Without mitigations, R is estimated at about 3. With mitigations, the UK is posting various numbers in the 0.7-1.0 range. (See https://www.bbc.com/news/health-52473523 for a source.) Let's assume that the USA is similar.

The question to ask is this. Do the temperature checks make the difference between being above or below 1.0?

Per https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210110/59-percent-of-covid... about 60% of spread comes from people who are asymptomatic. So about 40% happens from people who are symptomatic. Per https://www.healthline.com/health-news/what-is-the-risk-of-g... about 55% of spread happens at stores. If those factors were independent, about 1/4 of the spread would happen from symptomatic people at stores. If the temperature checks avoid a significant fraction of those, then in the real world it may indeed be the difference between pandemic spread and dying off.
I landed at a FAANG after about 15 years at startups. It's a hustle and there's pressure to perform, but the work schedule is downright relaxed compared to my startup days. My hours are roughly 8-5:30, which includes time for breakfast, lunch, and a trip to the gym, and I've not worked on a single weekend.

I do miss the energy of a startup, but it'll be hard to go back at this point.
Only the same problem as using any other open source thing that didn't catch on: you have a smaller community to get support from, newer things won't be ported to your platform quickly or ever, and your chosen platform gets less adoption and becomes less compatible over time.

I stopped using Slackware when I got married / got a job / had kids, because debian made all my day to day management tasks easier and I no longer cared about knowing deep details about every single package that lived on my system.

I'll still install it and toy with it, but I'm not going to push my kids towards using a sandstorm word processor over google docs etc.
Microsoft to buy a communications platform? I guess today's Microsoft isn't the same one that bought Skype but this comedy video of the "Skype CEO" is terribly relevant.

It may be novel but I don't see that it's interesting in HN's sense of the word (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). There's a difference between the intensely-interesting quality of sensational, exciting stories, and the intellectually-interesting quality of deeper, more substantive stories. The latter are what HN is supposed to be for.

When I looked in on the discussions that were going on about this last night, they were shockingly bad flamewars about all the expected generic issues, so precisely the kind of thing we don't want here. Everything I've seen so far confirms that this story is an intense drama involving specific individuals (not just the one who shall or shall not be named, but whoever made the decisions that stirred up the outrage) that doesn't have much to teach us in general. Its primary value to HN seems to me as a good example for calibrating where to draw the ontopicness line. A teachable moment, as they used to say.
Post comes across as bitter more than insightful frankly.
True: there is also the Insurance Man to keep happy, and the bankers that are looking to lend you money want statements that say lending money to you isn’t a financially ruinous proposition.

But really, mostly to make the Taxman go away. If Uncle Sam finishes his colonoscopy so thorough that you’re still getting the taste of rubber off the back of your tongue a few weeks later and only charges you a couple hundred dollars for his time, that’s about the most you can really hope for.
The soon-to-be-banned channels should move to telegram then.
I love almost all his work tbh - actually I've been translating a compilation of some of his writings from spanish to portuguese and I also contributed to his page on portuguese wikipedia :)

You can dive in from wherever, and you will be able to know his cohese and wonderful universe of thought - it really doesn't matter, because it's a single entity, so you can start from his thoughts about family, work, slavery, astronomy, architecture, higiene, urbanism, politics, religion, sex, tolerance, women, commerce, law, philosophy, love, etc

I should warn you to beware of the translation because there are bad ones - he's a guy coming up with words and concepts and always playing with language and meaning, so you gotta be able to read between lines. I wish you a good reading, if you can find them because they seem to be kinda rare, and mind = blown! If you'd like to exchange some ideas about it later, feel free to get in touch!
Yes. You're the one who chose to use their platform to broadcast your words, if you don't believe they will do so with fidelity use a different platform. You're not paying or otherwise offering them anything in exchange for a guarantee of fidelity, nor are you under any obligation to use their service.
What's funny about the internet is that all these heterodox theorists keep popping up in my news feed, but I almost never get to see an article about mainstream theory.
I don't even know what theories are mainstream today. All I get is goldbugs, Austrians, communists, anarchists, this MMT stuff, and all, other sorts of people who need to rant on the internet cause they cannot get a word in amongst their peers.
Did you never leave your house? They’re literally everywhere in Ojai. You can go on a walk at the lake and see them nesting 24/7 in broad daylight.
They use 200nm later in the article, but wikipedia[0] says that 300mm is a standard wafer size, and fabs are classified by the diameter of wafer, so you might be right. I assumed it was the feature size before, too.

Hi! This looks really cool, as someone also working on a platform for interactive programming courses (https://codeamigo.dev, mentioned in this thread as well) I just want to commend you for the beautiful layout and design execution. Congrats on launching and best of luck!
Huh, the companies in one of the highest cost-of-living (and thus highest cost-of-labor) places in the country, want to keep with the remote-only thing a while longer? Interesting. I'm sure this is nothing to do with "maybe we could take advantage of this to relocate a lot of our jobs to cheaper places". It's probably just "being safe". Because that's what motivates top executive thinking at large corporations.
The difference between the top 0.2% and top 500 players is huge too
For every, "This post is not well written" post there is a, "Why do people write this post is not well written?" post.

There’s a nest here in South Florida which a couple uses every year. I hope the neighbor with a drone hasn’t caused them to move permanently.

Also, in Cape Canaveral there is a nest on the way to the Apollo/Saturn V center. I was lucky to see one of the eagles resting on top of the building when I went to watch a Falcon 9 launch.
It is exactly the opposite. It is a success story given how wide spread the use of Email is. Wait until spammers start a campaign on Slack open invites.
