Facts have real-world significance if it becomes part of a cultural propaganda. If one were less friendly they would say you have been "brainwashed" to believe that the European cultures (and their descendants) are entitled to more credit than they deserve in advancing the technology of humanity. Maybe, just maybe, people would be more humble if they knew that we have all learned from each other, and not, as the narrative goes, invented everything merely from a stroke of genius.

Of course, it doesn't really matter for a learned person who has the natural curiosity to figure things out (presumably that includes you), since these people aren't often affected by dogma or rigid conceptions anyway, but the other 99% have no clue, and it's probably easier to state facts than to teach people curiosity.
So it’s complicated because there is a loose definition of nation as a synonym of country (eg nationalised industry, national anthem, ...) and a second more narrow definition which is the one used in the term ‘nation-state.’ But if the former definition of nation is being used then it is entirely redundant and writing a long confusing term instead of a well understood one is just lazy writing.

Wikipedia gives a more narrow definition of nation-state than you (but English dictionaries by their nature tend to give broad definitions) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_state
> For F1 it's even worse as F1 TV (the official streaming service of the F1) is now not available in Germany any more and has been replaced by a Sky Sport subscription that costs three times more per year than before.

Sky has really gone downhill, lol. Their STBs were/still are slow as molasses, their customer service atrocious, and to add insult to injury they don't even stream all soccer matches. Glad I cut the cord some years ago - and I'm not surprised at all that Big Pay TV is attempting to buy some legislation to keep them alive...
you do know that the support of israel in US politics is completely bipartisan, right?

If not, you should read up on AIPAC and who speaks at their events year after year.
The nicest thing I've ever been told came from my best friend, telling me he'd buy stocks in "me" if it were possible. It wouldn't have been a particularly good investment, but I guess he was on to something with that concept!
I don't think we can eliminate fossil fuels usage entirely, but we can dramatically reduce our usage. Consider that the carbon output per person in the USA is roughly double that in Europe. Europeans live pretty comfortable lives imo. And besides, something has to give eventually. It is much better to manage the change than have it forced upon you.
Darkman – Framework for dark-mode and light-mode transitions on Linux desktop
You're right, of course. And notably in the case of Android apps, they often also depend on Play Services and therefore require agreeing to Google's ToS.

Folks: if you don't like two major tech giants having so much power, push back against requiring apps like that when you see it. This is how they get so much power. (I'm especially worried about government apps requiring Android with Play Services or iOS.)
Accept-language is an okish default, but web pages end up needing to provide overrides because users are not always in control of those values, or the user may have preferences that don't fit the scheme. A cookie is a reasonable place to store the override.

Http login is really hard to make user friendly, and has no way to logout in a user friendly way; the user needs to be prompted for a password again and not enter it. An HTML form and cookies just works better.
Sweet can't wait to repeat the gradle update cycle!

* "Gradle update? Performance babyyyy"

* "Oh, <obscure feature that needed to be hacked around> no longer works. It's okay, let's fix it.

* "Oh, no, it's actually not backwards compatible and I have to figure out what kind of awkward cast as an <AndroidPluginInterface> I have to do because gradle still doesn't expose proper types in half their kotlin DSL"

* "Right, entire build cache gone. It's okay, 15 minutes."

* "right! Now let's get an incremental change and see the perfo... Right, kapt still isn't incremental"
You don't even need cacti or rrd if it's just taking a value and putting it in a file. However these newer tools are much more flexible that cacti and RRD. I find using Grafana miles better than dealing with RRDs, beter granularity and more options for querying data/overlaying results from different metrics on the fly etc.
For me? Sinus polyps specifically, but that sounds pretty gross so I didn't include it. It's a fairly strong steroid.
The creator is Cree himself [0].

I think the storytelling aspect is what he's going for, not just to make C# but with Cree keywords. Baskets are weaved differently in different cultures. Is it possible to have a programming language that reflects a different culture or outlook? What would that look like? It's an experiment.

There are a few academic groups, like the Bard Meme Lab (https://memelab.bard.edu/) that are still interested in the original meaning of the meme, but also noting its current incarnation and usage, and doing research within that frame
Revisit their definition of “middle class”. It’s income based, not quantile based. Meaning it may be both possible that there are more people making $100k and simultaneously many much lower. Meaning a bimodal distribution with relatively fewer near the statistical average. That disparity is the what the research referenced in the article concludes. That inequality shouldn’t necessarily be equated with “things are better now” which is what the article title seems to imply.
Blowout in Bessemer: A Postmortem on the Amazon Campaign
Most of these assumptions seem crazy to me and this just feels like blog spam more than truth.
Several years ago, a person deep inside GOOG told me that the company had a secret knob that they could turn to increase revenues. He didn't go into details, but I concluded that it had something to do with the ad auction pricing. This could be that "dial".

Perhaps it's just a reference to Fed policy snoozery, but the helicopter connection seems like a better fit to me.
It's good for team members to be able to refer important waypoint decisions to them, and for members of other teams to have a single point of contact.

They can also do incident investigation/reporting, evaluate metrics and other useful responsibilities.
One merely has to wonder what other content will find itself behind a no court order thirty minute window all on the word of designated groups with an interest.

So how much investiture into sporting facilities do EU countries end up fronting? Is it as bad as the US? Do they get any funds locally for sports broadcasting involving local teams? I will by default assume their is monetary relationships between politicians either direct or friends and family arrangements but I am not clear on how localities benefit.

The entertainment industry, be it sports, music, or movie and television, had an outsized influence of politics and policy and that itself needs reigned in.
It's really not, Prometheus and Grafana can do a hell of a lot more than Cacti/RRDs
What features do you think they should not ship? Apple Silicon support obviously is necessary. Support for Java 16 is necessary. Centralized dependency management is long-awaited feature. Type safe project accessors are very nice to have.

I would say that they should not stop the development of all new features, but rather they should spend more time designing those features, so they don't have to change them in the future (making old variants obsolete and broken in the end). But modern software development is agile, move fast and break things and all that.
Problem with music/video piracy was mostly resolved by providing reasonably priced usable services. Maybe instead of lobbying for quick takedowns, someone should put effort into providing services people would rather be using instead of bothering with finding pirated content.
So you're either a white supremacist or you should just move to China. Got it.
tbh, The Quest 2 selling like hotcakes as a portable Beat Saber machine makes me think otherwise. The same issues apply to regular consoles too.
> It's like saying Cyrillic is better than Latin script. [...] It just doesn't matter.

Out of all the examples that you gave, this is the one that doesn't fit your argument. Cyrillic has a wider range of letters which makes it a better fit for certain languages with a specific phonology. I don't remember which language it was, but I remember reading about one of the countries between Russia, Turkey, Iran, etc. switched from their indigenous writing system to Latin script in the 1930s/1940s to enable usage of standard typewriters etc. And just a few years later, they switched again, to Cyrillic script, after finding that Latin script does not fit their language all that well.
I use a Chrome just for watching Twitch streams. Despite Twitch only officially supporting 1080p60fps as the max, streamers are able to feed 1080p90fps or 1080p120fps streams to Twitch's RTMP servers. With my 60Hz monitor, Firefox is an absolute judder-fest when playing these streams, both on my desktop (Windows + Nvidia 2080TI w/HW H.264 decode) and my laptop (Fedora + Intel 630 w/VAAPI HW H.264 decode). Chromium-based browsers seem to handle these streams very well with no noticeable judder.

EDIT: I used to use Webex with Chrome also, but it mostly works fine now on Firefox, even for screen sharing. The only bug I've encountered is that the mute button occasionally doesn't work (audio not muted, but button says "unmute" and has no effect) and I have to rejoin the meeting. When the button works, it stays working for the duration of the meeting.
And they can turn that influence into money very quickly. They might lose some of it when they cash in (or sell out), but it's pretty convertable.
Currently working on automating some light/dark theme changes on Linux, but in a WM environment (so no Gnome settings, etc.). Came across this on the Arch wiki, of course, and looks useful. Unfortunately there's a lot of different applications and ui toolkits to deal with.... Will probably write up a little guide with what I find once I have it set up, at least for firefox/gtk with darkman, xsettings.
I heard a (probably invented) story that one year the Harvard Business School commencement speech basically boiled down to "you can earn an upper-middle class income for the rest of your life without ever working as hard as you did to get in to this programme".
An Easy Way to Build a Morning Routine for Increased Energy and Happiness
I was just riffing on a joke, but much as I love Hacker News, it's a bad place for that. Too many people who take everything too seriously.
But yeah, there was a pinch of truth in what I said too.
Curious how much it cost.

My random Indiana registered agent is $50 a year. I’m sure I could somehow find a cheaper one, but not worth the effort.

Maybe this is a similar situation but in Delaware, which has a LOT more businesses than Indiana.
FWIW, I've never heard the word "Morgen" used in that meaning outside of poems. Maybe this is a regional thing? I'm in East Germany (born and raised in Mecklenburg, now living in Saxony).
I don't know which documentation do you miss. Gradle has pretty extensive documentation, stackoverflow has all kinds of answers and other websites have plenty of tutorials.

I don't know Groovy and I was able to write complicated enough multi-project builds with some custom build steps by copy-pasting snippets from the Internet and applying some common sense. I guess, Groovy knowledge is required if you need to write build plugins.
A new breakthrough for deep learning in genomics
Show HN: Elaxer-Find and Connect with anyone you know nothing about but a face
I don't think it's exactly expensive either, relative to other devices that have seen broad adoption. Computers, smart phones, TVs, (LCD/tube) monitors, tablets etc didn't reach that price point until they were in the market for quite a while.

Sure it might need to be cheaper to be affordable to 100% of the world, but it's not even close to saturating the market in high income countries yet (or the market share of much more expensive devices).

BTW the $300 device is not just a display, it includes a fairly high end smartphone chip in addition to a high res-screen, battery, lenses, controllers, 4 cameras etc. I wouldn't expect major cost reductions anytime soon.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm done with accounting for now, I'm looking to try something else. If money becomes tight I can always come back and take back my old job, they are pretty nice.
Directional antenna completely break those bandwidth limitations. It’s not currently practical for hand held devices to make significant use of it, but ultimately everything is point to point.
Just as no amount of technical implementation will save the environment, I now believe that no amount of technical implementation (by itself) will enable privacy.

GDPR is clear: Any data that allows an individual to be directly or indirectly identified is personal data. Fines are now targeting "lower hanging fruits", i.e., more obvious violations. However, as the landscape shifts, I'm looking forward to the first fine related to non-consented fingerprinting.
In theory this makes tons of sense but despite microbenchmarks your expensive phone is still a kind of mediocre little computer and for optimal usage needs more ports a display, keyboard, pointing device, and battery.

Basically it needs everything but the motherboard/cpu/ram meaning you need a $500 peripheral to turn your awesome $1000 dollar phone into a merely OK computer.

If you really want to save money you probably have a $400 laptop and a $100 phone. If you have money to spend a $1000 phone AND a $1500 laptop will be a nicer experience.

With support for arm software better than ever before and better hardware available cheaper than ever before its better than it has ever been for this idea but it would still be a compromise that you have to convince your customer they ought to both pay substantially for and accept.
Does anyone have a good resource for learning a systematic way to do dependency management for large codebases? Seems like every time it comes up in gradle or maven I have to trial-and-error my way out of resolution hell.
The older I get the more I realize how incredibly hard it is to predict anything about the future, especially when it comes to technology.

Growing up in the 90s I thought virtual reality was just around the corner - only now 30 years later are we starting to see virtual reality.

5 years ago it seemed like 100% self driving cars were just around the corner. You can argue we are much closer than we were, but it still seems like we are pretty far away.

10 years ago, the web was dead and apps were the future... today hardly anyone believes apps are the future.

I imagine that travel to Mars, and a moon colony seemed like it was just around the corner in 1970 and yet here we are 50 years later and neither one of those came to fruition.

The reality is tech is incredibly fast moving, which makes it hard to predict, but still not as fast as we think it is.
> - Apollo Server (GraphQL, Javascript/Typescript)
> - Hasura (GraphQL frontend to PostgreSQL, translating GraphQL queries directly to SQL)

I'm just getting started with GraphQL. Tried Graphile first (also on top of PostgreSQL), from various other comments I've read. I have a harder time with having the current auth logic (in nodejs) work, since most Graphile tutorials are with row level security. Not sure if I should move to RLS too.

What do you think about Graphile vs Apollo Server+Hasura?
She was 14, so out the gate your facts are wrong.

Criticism pales in comparison to the level of anger the public felt. Outrage is a better description.

The other parts of the quote, such as the location, or age of entry into the club (which as a former DJ, I know are meaningless, just about everywhere) are irresponsible and irrelevant.

You’re taking the responsibility off of Akon, and putting it on the victim, or the club in some random country.

Added the music video:
It has clips of the outrage on the news and the girls age.

Love it and you have all the means to monetize it, but you do need some additional options, even if this is the "free" option and you have some kind of paid option pop up at the end, but you always need a delete option so that you are GDPR-compliant and it gives your users peace of mind.
I have read that procrastination comes from your mind defending itself against fear. Instead of confronting something that is really important (a writer afraid their writing isn’t good enough) the brain distracts by overweighting unimportant things to the forefront.

Solo ventures are very challenging and there is a lot of emotion baked in. So think through what has changed recently. The biggest fears from my experience are: is this the right product? Do people actually want it? Are you going to finish fast enough? Do I have the right life balance? (keeping relationships, family, kids, friendships; eating right, exercise, sleep)?

Not an easy discussion with yourself, but I think when you believe you are on the right path and are making good decisions it will flow again!
MVC too
A bit off topic, is there any hollywood movie on stuxnet incident?
What country? Formula 1 now has its own streaming service [1]. I used to stream it via less legal means previously, because the only legal way to watch it was to pay high monthly costs for some sports TV package, which would have commentators in my native language (which I don't want). I'm not interested in any sport other than Formula 1, so I'm very glad they made their own streaming service.

Yes... but I'm done with accounting for now. I can always come back and take my old job if things go wrong anyway. I'm in need of pursuing new and exciting stuff.
These days the Kotlin DSL is treated as a first class citizen and you can find examples for most common tasks in either language. But Groovy is pretty easy to pick up too, you definitely don't need to know it before you start using it with Gradle.

Aside from the performance implications, Gradle excels when used with more complex builds with many steps. If Maven works for your use case, your build scripts aren't unmanageably long, and your team doesn't mind XML, there isn't much of a reason to switch.
> Lots of ways to build things fast, but nobody's building cool, lasting shit.

No way to make money with something that's well-built with the intention to last a life time. It's the "planned obsolescence" of the software world...
Sprinkling HID's or usb's with modified firmware around the target organization's parking lot is almost guaranteed to work. People get curious and few understand the danger.
That was the idea, wasn't it? Only they didn't make it independent, but gave it access to data that they didn't give to external bidders, because it would be less efficient (read: less profitable) if it had to act on public information.
Beam forming, phased array antennas, sophisticated coding (CDMA) and "time slots" (TDMA) will provide a lot more availability than purely looking at bandwidth available.

I still agree wired/optical is best for most fixed installations both LAN and WAN, but people are getting more out of wireless than I would have predicted. And the "last mile" capacity of today's technology far exceeds what people seem to want even looking forward a decade...which paradoxically suggests that wireless might be adequate in the interim for some use cases.
Nuclear energy is a clear path to eco-friendly future. Everyone is interested with that, nobody wants to burn oil even if you have plenty of that oil. I live in Kazakhstan, we have plenty of oil, gas and coal, but we want to build nuclear plants, we are experimenting with wind and solar generators, nobody likes to breath dirty air.
That the keywords and symbols are Cree is trivial and not that much different than when someone does the same thing with Klingon or Swedish Chef but the concept of a programming language based on storytelling is interesting. It might never end up being a useful language for information infrastructure or corporate problem solving but I suspect that if it gains much traction with Cree students (or anyone with an interest) that they'll end up coming up with uses that we haven't thought of before with our programming languages tied so deeply to our cultural norms.
Granted it was many years ago, but my only experience with Gradle was through Android Studio.

Basically, as I remember it, every time Android studio updated Gradle, my project broke. No exceptions, even though this was a stock Android Studio project.

Seemingly things are still that terrible? If so, why do you people keep using it?

What problems does Gradle solve which other build-systems don’t solve better
The rich paid more in the ‘50s, because the alternative (the USSR) was worse. Moving money was slow and risky; if you parked your cash in a friendly Caribbean island, there were no guarantees that tomorrow that island would not see a Moscow-backed revolution and your stash would go up in smoke.

Nowadays the world is largely stable. Running conflicts are largely ethnic in nature, hence limited to specific areas. Capital is welcome everywhere, and you can move money in and out of a country with a click. So it makes sense for the rich to shop around, like we do when buying insurance through a comparison website.
I used to be quite happy to do all the dirty jobs that needed doing until I had an epiphany and realised I wasn't getting any credit for this. In fact it seemed to be doing my career some harm.

I stopped and refused any work that wasn't directly linked to bringing money in. Within a couple of years my salary doubled.
> His Computers Will All Boot Super Fast

Seems pretty true for the non-Windows uses cases at least, in my experience (iOS, Android, Linux, macOS).
Gradle had a lot to do with my attempts to move away from Android development. Well, not that other tools are shiny beacons of goodness, but still Gradle takes the cake effortlessly.
Since LTE-U or even MultiFire I have yet to read any papers or information on how it much will it cost for a Router. On a technology level I surely want 5G NR-U, but if they dont have a clear, fair pricing for Routers this isn't going to work. I am willing to pay, but it has to be reasonable.

I think I have given WiFI enough time and chances.
I get that but hold shift for constraints is standard in almost every editor out there. (Not sure about Photoshop, it has weird behaviors for modifier keys.) Also, I find GIMP more intuitive for some things. For example, making solid-color backgrounds transparent is very easy in GIMP but as far as I can tell impossible in Photoshop.
Now with GraphQL
Prometheus as a monitoring tool is definitely a lot more complex and does not 'just work' straight out of the box. You need to configure Prometheus to know where to scrape using service discovery, set up different agents on your hosts to export metrics, build graphs in Grafana using PromQL to look for specific labels, and create alerts Alert Manager for every alert you want to receive.
