It does miss an important feature.

I'm frequently on a mumble server that can have 1000 people on it at the same time. A channel hierarchy is vital to global broadcasts from command, allowing foot soldiers to shout important information to command, allowing platoon leaders to communicate to their subordinates, allowing squad leaders to communicate to just their subordinates, and allowing the foot soldiers to chit chat to just their squads.

Discord is fine for playing video games with friends, but its voip is a nightmare for actually organized groups who are voip power users.

Rings true to me. I'm pretty happy working from home. I try to imitate a well-defined work day: I change to work clothes in the morning and to home clothes after being done. I have a separate laptop for work and work only, not even private emails on that device. In the same vein no work chat or email on my phone, once that laptop closes I'm reachable again next morning.
I haven't read that article yet, but I wouldn't really call the simple Rust version idiomatic. Stdin::lines() incurs a string allocation for each line (fixing this takes three lines of source code), which can be quite significant. And garbage-collected languages will have faster allocation, so I'm not too surprised.

Of course, I know who the author of that code is. I just wanted to point out that it's not such a trivial comparison to make.
Jan Böhmermann (Germany's John Oliver) did an investigation on his show[1] into Germany's terrible internet infrastructure and proved it's basically down to corruption from Kohl's regime that scrapped the fiber plans for copper in order to enrich a certain friendly company with political ties that was big in the copper business back then.

Computers were DJing in 2005:

In fact, before that - i saw a talk on this while i was a student, and i finished university in 2003, i think.

The guy who did this work went on to get the computer to do production, but i don't know how that panned out.
I guess this might be hard, but it would be pretty cool to be able to "stop" the optimizations at some point and see the resulting code.

Say "give me the generated code for the Rabin–Scott powerset construction (NFA to DFA)". That way, one could see the impact of each optimization step.

Nevertheless, this is a pretty cool proeject!
If I say: "there's a 25% chance that Pat is from North Dakota", I'm taking as a given that there is a person named Pat, and I'm talking about the chance that Pat, whom we know to exist, is from North Dakota.

In this case, grammatically, they're talking about the chance that the measurement (data) is a statistical coincidence, as opposed to not being a statistical coincidence. They're not talking about the chance that the data exists, as opposed to not existing.
And all of the things you describe about China, in both your larger analogy and in your final paragraph happened after the country abandoned its communist dogmas in favor of a market economy (a highly fascistic one to be sure but a market economy in many ways nonetheless). The original post as I interpreted it seemed to claim that China's communist experiment is what improved the lot of its people. It did not. As for India, it is falling behind and its governments since the end of colonial rule have made many mistakes to make development tragically slow but none of these are creations of market economics. They're the dredges of heavy handed and often corrupt bureaucratic administration (even if it doesn't self-label itself as socialist).
It seems these articles appear every week now. This should be a solved problem - if you don’t like coding in Go then don’t code in Go. Simple. There is no point of writing a thirty page manifesto of everything you hate about Go. Put that effort into learning python, ruby, nodejs, or whatever floats your boat. If your tempted to write manifestos for those languages also then maybe consider a different line of work.
I agree. This would also mean there have to be coalition negotiations. It would drastically increase the public debate across Europe and give people more stake in what is going on.
Can't cover everything in one article I guess.
This led me to look into sexpr based regular expressions, and indeed there are some. SRFI 115 seems pretty neat example:

It's cool, the video is clean and it's an impressive piece of hardware overall but what's the real usefulness about this product? It looks fragile and it'll cost a lot more than anything you can attach to a raspberry pi.

> 3 months deposit plus 3 months rents upfront

You need to come up with 6 month worth of rent to start renting? That's massive. It basically means most would need to borrow that money. Is that supposed to be a good thing?

I'm glad that illegal here, that's abusive. Personally I avoided any ad that required more than 2 month total upfront. Thankfully the local market allowed it. If I wanted to put a massive deposit I'd buy, not rent.
My guess is that it isn't for "People who spend time doing hardware prototyping, or software development for custom hardware"

It's for people who are interested in (using an example provided on the site) in making an "automated soap dispenser" and don't know where to start.

I'll take me as a random example. I can code a little bit (if gun's to my head and I have an O'Reilly book to hand). I bought a 3D printer and spent months happily playing with that which then lead me into Fusion 360. I bought an Arduino play-kit and spent a few evenings swearing as I blew up LEDs, learnt what resistors did, then realized I couldn't tell the f'ers apart due to colour blindness.

I've sunk many many hours into the first 5% of some skills that could possibly all together let me create a product - but I'm not even close.

I saw this project as providing a physical equivalent of say "block coding" that's used to teach children. It's not going to give you the best/most-efficient/cheapest result - but starting from zero, it gives you a decent chance of making something functional and looking at something useful that you made.
(and after that you can do the industrial design, create your injection moulds, design the custom PCB, ramp up a Chinese factory, and ship your product in lovely matte-card boxes - if you so wish)

It looks like this has involved uploading tens of thousands of videos to youtube... (guessing by the video names).

All unlisted and without ads... Presumably uploaded with the API...

Thats tens of TB's of free storage provided by Youtube there... With no ads... Do you not run a risk of a ban for that?

I did exactly this: initially I was going to go with Slack because the bots API was nicer and they had slash commands, but in the end Discord is just so much more pleasant to use, and it even started adding slash commands now.

My one wish would be an easy way to handle multiple accounts.
Thank you for the comprehensive response. All of your points are fair and I like your logic.

Particularly, you make a good point regarding differing manufacturing locations and possible batch issues. I did not consider that. It wasn't my intention to be dishonest, but I agree that it was flawed logic to think ti would necessarily apply.

What it does highlight, though, is that it's reasonable to consider this particular batch/source of the AZ vaccine to be risky, but I think then it's important to then stress that "The AZ Vaccine" in general temrs is not automatically undermined by this, since evidence clearly demonstrates that other locations have used it successfully without this issue. To me, this is an important distinction to draw since without it, public confidence in the AZ vaccine as a whole is undermined.

Public rejection of vaccines other than Pfizer & Moderna is a particular concern of mine, as I believe the Pfizer & Moderna vaccines have a much higher barrier to manufacture, so there's much less ability to scale them in the short-to-medium term. As far as I'm concerned, we need vaccines such as from AZ, J&J, etc. to be able to produce vaccines at the scale necessary to move from only vaccinating the elderly in 1st world countries, to vaccinating 7+ billion across the entire globe.

As an aside, I really appreciate that this discussion was fact-based, respectful and open-minded. It's an incredibly refreshing change compared to the overwhelming majority of other vaccine-related discussions I endure! Thank you, to you and to the HN community in general for this quality of discourse.

Unfortunately it is banned in many places as it used to be commonly used as a command centre to manage botnets.
Unless something dramatic changes in the field of optics, lenses and how to deal with atmospheric blur at those distances, resolving features smaller than 15-20cm from low earth orbit remains a low probability.

I was subscribed to https://www.gitlab.com/atom.xml - at least, that's what Feedly's UI shows, but that URL doesn't seem to resolve at all. In my Feedly, the newest article was "building a better Heroku".

When you search for GitLab in Feedly, you also see that feed, without the 13.10 post. The "GitLab" source at top of search results shows "about.gitlab.com", 6k followers, but no 13.10 post.

I've directly added your atom.xml link so my situation is resolved for now. Thanks!
It depends on the company. IME, it's mid sized companies where the majority of the employees are forced into the office that most often have this problem. Small companies are typically tighter and have more flexibility anyway so it's fine. Larger companies are already distributed so it doesn't matter if an employee is taking another conference call from the local office or their house.
No, much higher, because of extra engines and more plumbing.

Starship is already pretty marginal of an upper stage and it's fired early.
More marginal than old Space Shuttle, but cheaper to refurbish.

There is also no central authority other than a committee of decentralized interests that meet a couple of times a year to figure out how to keep their published document up to date.

One of the tricks with C++ is that it isn't a product created ex cathedra by a single interest group with a focused purpose and provided for you like mother's milk; it's a generalized idea that emerged from a bazaar of interests and provided by a free market for whatever purpose you chose. It has evolved to fill a niche rather than be designed to reach a particular goal (eg. 'kill C++') or even designed to reach a vague goal ('fix all the problems with C').

There is no official mailing list because there is no official 'there' there. C++ is not an organization, or a corporation, or a guy in his mom's basement. It's an idea held (mostly somewhat) in common by a whole lot of people with otherwise no shared interests all over the world.
> A lot of it comes down to basic quality of many creative endeavors: starting is easy, and finishing is hard. You can start anything, but if you work for long enough eventually you arrive at this ugly middle place. The part of the journey where you start to notice all the warts and imperfections of what you're making, when your limits start to show themselves, when the picture of the thing in your mind starts to diverge from what you're realistically capable of doing. Seeing that, knowing that it was you who created all of that "crap," and _still_ pushing through it to get to the flawed, imperfect, compromised final product, THAT is tough.

yes, 150 to 330 down, 16-20 up, 0.25 to 0.75% packet loss in the current sparse network. It's not as good as a well implemented DOCSIS3 last mile or GPON, but it absolutely blows away anything DSL based, and 99% of WISPs.
It's important to distinguish between current actual results from labs working very carefully and methodically and turning up interesting anomalous results, and the original claims made by F&P.

Yes there is interesting physics here and there's a lot we don't know about the behaviour of hydrogen and deuterium in dense metallic crystal lattices. Who knows, that behaviour might even have something to do with fusion.

That's separate from what F&P were claiming 30 years ago. They claimed to have produced 'tremendous heat' and to have detected evidence of fusion (gamma rays and fusion products). They couldn't replicate the heat measurements, there were experimental errors that mean we can't know if they had generated excess heat at all, and they were simply mistaken that the evidence they had gathered indicated fusion.

Two things can both be true at the same time. These new experiments might indicate heat generation and might indicate fusion, and the F&P experiments demonstrated none of those things. Those are not contradictory statements.

Heck, F&P might even have stimulated fusion in their experiments. It's impossible to prove a negative. The point is they didn't demonstrate that at all.
In Eurasia railway companies often run fibre because they already have rights to the tracks. More importantly, one stop from a central station is basically city centre with high population density.
As to whether or not this is a Jira alternative the key points are:

* made for managers, not engineers
* app marketplace
* self-hosting

If one of the three is missing, it's not really a Jira alternative.
Not sure about the new ones, but the old butterfly key caps were really thin and brittle plastic. And unlike other laptops they were attached with hooks and clips, which makes it hard to remove the cap without snapping the flimsy hook. It's just cheaply made. Compared to something like my t480s, I've been pounding on it for a few years now and no issues whatsoever, I can spill a drink, it's full of crumbs and dust, but still going. I even dropped it, replaced the lcd in a local shop. Screw apple, I'm not going back, even the m1 is not tempting me. I love the ports, repairability and ruggedness too much to give it up.

Only for one clause of the contract. There's a requirement that all vaccines supplied under the contract are sourced from within the EU, with some provision for AstraZeneca to source from elsewhere under exceptional circumstances, and it says the UK is treated as part of the EU for the purpose of that clause and only that one. The part requiring them to set up an EU supply chain and make a best effort to supply the EU with a certain number of doses on a certain schedule does not include the UK. Like, someone went to actual effort to ensure it didn't apply to that part of the contract (and I wouldn't be surprised if it came from the EU side).
Mocking anyone who opposes something goes beyond skepticism. So does saying people oppose something "only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness".
Some password manager allow you to config those parameters yourself but I guess that would not work in this case.

Even in Swift the references are not "destroyed immediately" but because of various performance optimizations this "garbage state removal" is deferred - for example to the end of scope... The truth is, that they >>don't want to call it GC<< for marketing and other reasons... One could implement ARC with cycle collector for Java as well - and it would be just another form of GC... it would use less memory (because garbage would be released faster), but it would be slower...
Yeah I never got it. Don't they at least wanna make sure the candidate knows their current tech stack? many of them don't seem to care. The ones that care are usually very small companies where every hire is super critical. The bigger the team, the less important the hire is, the less they care about the actual work that needs to be done.

UK enters the chat. We could have had the best broadband in the world, but Mrs Thatcher decided to cull fibre optic networks in favour of copper ones as in her mind BT would get competitive advantage over companies offering copper network.

How to lose time and money (2010)
Also in central Berlin with the same speed connection. But my friends in the US, both in major metropolitan areas, can only dream of such a connection.

One has no option but ADSL which reaches 8Mbps on a good day, the other is luckier and has Cable but only 100Mbps.
I just chipped into the debate on Wikipedia where it is still regarded as a xenophobic conspiracy theory which I think is a shame as open discussion there would be useful.
No, actually I have no issue with people being religious. I have plenty of religious friends who hail from many religions, and are very open-minded and loving towards others with different beliefs.

This "Code" isn't saying that this is what the founder believes, and that they would like others to follow it. It's making a pretty unequivocal statement that the founder (and developers) believe that this is the "better" way to live: "Anyone who follows The Rule will live a happier and more productive life"

First of all, this is really unrelated to software or the utility of sqlite. But then we have "The founder of SQLite and all current developers have pledged to follow the spirit of The Rule to the best of their ability. They view The Rule as their promise to all SQLite users of how the developers are expected to behave"

Well then, this is a pretty strong statement of their intention to limit the pool of sqlite contributors to those who follow this rule.

"But sqlite is open source" you might think... but here's what they say:

> SQLite is open-source, meaning that you can make as many copies of it as you want and do whatever you want with those copies, without limitation. But SQLite is not open-contribution. In order to keep SQLite in the public domain and ensure that the code does not become contaminated(!!) with proprietary or licensed content, the project does not accept patches from unknown persons ...
> In order to keep SQLite completely free and unencumbered by copyright, the project does not accept patches. If you would like to make a suggested change, and include a patch as a proof-of-concept, that would be great. However please do not be offended if we rewrite your patch from scratch."

So this is all news to me, and I think it's a pretty terrible way to run an open source project, or any project really. I wouldn't work at a company that had this rule. If the rule said "1. Only have sexual relations with people of the opposite sex, in the context of marriage" I suspect many people would wash their hands of it completely.

But really, they've done a great job with sqlite as a piece of software, so kudos to the dogmatic yet exclusive group of authors for their work and dedication. In the meantime, I would be thrilled to see another file-based relational db take its place
Those visuals are badass. I know the nn was trying to replicate “realistic” images, but this semi-organic nonsense vibe would actually be awesome at a concert.

You seem to feel that charity is to be deprecated because it excuses unjust social structures. I think this is a mistake and that charity often challenges such injustices.
I had not, thank you. Being from Australia, my main exposure to data is one that tells a major success story with thankfully very few data points for deaths. I intentionally avoided citing the Aussie data for that reason (indeed, I started using it then swapped to UK data becuase 900 fatalities total is not really a broad sample size for understanding mortality rate < 60), but it then meant I was trying to find data I wasn't sure existed, on sites with which I'm unfamiliar.

As a moderate chronic asthmatic, it's been interesting to see that it is not a co-morbidity as people first assumed. I've also struggled to find good data on it, so this will make for interesting reading. I appreciate you sharing it!
I feel you. I am normally quite critical of nearly everything about the US, but the Americans who treat every problem they have as uniquely, hyperbolically horrible (even when considering the "western" world alone) are a special kind of frustrating. To hear them talk, you'd think that Europe and Australia/New Zealand were perfect utopias. Meanwhile take this particular issue for example; many of the friends and acquaintances I have in Canada, Germany and Australia have plenty of complaints about internet service as well (even the Twitter thread has someone from Canada post a screenshot where they're only getting 0.38Mbps).
That's nice, but in my case on the 2016 model the key caps would literally lift off and stick to my fingers. I suspect the heat would weaken the keys, technology nowadays must be designed by people living in colder climates.
