Circa 2009, back when it was Hudson (I think?) I once had an idea to rename MyJenkinsProject to !MyJenkinsProject in order to move it to the top of the list alphabetically. When I hit save, the UI explained that this wasn't possible _and that I shouldn't be putting dangerous characters in my project names_. Not to be pushed over so easy, I tried again with a skull and crossbones unicode symbol () in the name. The UI immediately became unresponsive and wouldn't start again until the project was removed.

edit: Interesting HN also stripped out the character: https://www.fontspace.com/unicode/char/2620-skull-and-crossb...
I like your restaurant analogy but I draw the opposite conclusion. Imagine a restaurant which has a sign saying, "You must be dressed appropriately to enter - no shoes, no socks, no service." A family goes in to dine. About halfway through their meal, the cops come and arrest the father. Turns out, although nobody noticed at first, he wasn't wearing socks, and was therefore trespassing according to store policy. Is that fair though? It's one thing to ask the family to leave, but should the father be charged with an actual crime for unauthorized entry?

It's straightforward but it's not the same argument.

They didn't ask why not to use Lena, they were asking about that specific quote.
So both Hyundai and Kia have offered 10-year warranty for a long time now, but what Toyota are doing here seems a little different, although I don’t think it’s better?

They’re basically giving you a year warranty every time you service your car with them at an official dealership, this basically keeps going until the car does 10 years or 100,000 miles. So 10 years with 10 services.

The Kia/Hyundai one is just a bog standard 10 (maybe 7 now) years, without needing to do an annual service. You can also pass it on when you sell it. Seems to me like theirs is still a better deal
I think mistakes are probably far more frequent with automated content automation, simply because our AI systems are not quite there yet.

Regardless, I vastly prefer automated content moderation. It's makes me feel better to know that I've been censored by an impersonal algorithm, rather than an opinionated basement-dweller with a chip on their shoulder.

There are still places on the web and out in the world where there is no content moderation. City graffiti districts are fine examples. Freedom of expression is an artform that dates back to the days when we drew cave paintings, and it should be preserved.
No, quite the oposite.
He had choice words for white moderate push back against change for racial equality, even if it's ugly in the moment to said white moderates.

> I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

> I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

As for connections to Occupy Wall Street, my view as some one connected to the scenes is that they're orthogonal, and instead both rise from the beginnings of a generational shift in existing power structures.
The author seems to be complaining that instead of every distro having their own copy of specfiles, the specfiles are semi-shared and use conditional logic to include or exclude components depending on which distribution the package is being built for.

In this particular case a feature should have been disabled on Fedora, but was enabled unconditionally, which caused problems on Fedora.

They seem to be further complaining that when this bug was fixed [0], a condition was added for "fedora" rather than "rhel", meaning that any Fedora derivatives might trip over this issue (because they wouldn't trigger the condition).

But they never made this complaint in the actual Bugzilla [0] where someone could consider their feedback, they skipped straight to the "complain via blog post" phase. Just like they did in their first blog post [1] where they said

>I would file a bug report but I cannot imagine that Fedora would accept it. They already know that this feature doesn't work; it's right there in the DKMS manpage. It's there anyway because, well, I don't know. This is the most user-hostile decision I think I've ever seen Fedora make.

Nevertheless it seems they did file the bug report, and it was accepted, and fixed in less than a week.

My advice to the author is that perhaps they should extend a little more charity and "just ask" first, before they jump at the opportunity to complain in public - without having mentioned the issue to anyone with the ability to fix it.

My understanding is that the company is a few years younger than Spec, but perhaps the code base is very very old.
I still prefer Schema because I find it more much more readable.
Take a look at the Fishmongers Hall heroes. The narwhal tusk was only a 5 foot pole, but the convicted killers put themselves in harms way to protect the public.
Exactly. If he were charged with "bribery, and also public urination" for this, while I wouldn't be happy about what he did, it definitely wouldn't be public urination.

Despite selling less than 20% [1] of smartphones across the world, its App Store accounts for over 64% [2] of app revenue. Apple and its developers somehow built an App Store that people are willing to spend more money on.

If it's purely thanks to developers, why isn't there more revenue on Google's Play Store?

All great points. It is similar for me. Server/App admin plus some coding. Most meetings happen over webex because teams are distributed across cities in different time zones. But working from home is not an option. Also actually flying to different offices to collaborate face-to-face is not an option either because "Hehe who flies mere devs for meetings, isn't there a slack / zoom / webex?"

I guess the interesting thing for a VeraCrypt user is that Elcomsoft can't grab keys from memory if RAM encryption of keys and passwords is turned on. So that means such a user is immune to Elcomsoft forensics software if they have a strong passphrase.

I am not sure why Elcomsoft would want to write a blog article informing the world of this fact...

Anyway, here is the direct link to how VeraCrypt does their RAM encryption:

We just have twenty years of experience that any initial cost savings generated by outsourcing are illusory and come due with interest on the back end.
A policy change by your employer shouldn't lead to the possibility of a criminal prosecution for "hacking" and that's the net result of what you're suggesting and what that interpretation would mean.

To me this is the definition of overreach.
Rich people can extract value - i.e. park $1B into S&P500, and reap $40M in returns every year. How much work did they do to do the above? Zero (if they inherited 1B). How much are they taxed on it? 20 percent of $40M = $8M.

Where as someone who worked 40 hours a week for the whole year and made $200K gets taxed... exact same 20% effective (federal), and another ~15% (employer+employee) in FICA.

Part of the value of paying taxes is to ensure that the people who's labor you're extracting value from don't rebel and rise up against you.
That's really mature, bravo.
The article is about the US.
It's not just a high bypass ratio that has helped. It's computational acoustics (we can predict the sound something makes based on its geometry and movement in a medium), nacelle design, materials. In supersonic flight, the most pressing issue is suppressing the sonic boom. There was a lot of work on this in the late 00's, with even Cessna rumored to be working on a quiet supersonic business jet. Various attempts - a bulging, ogival nose will increase the local density raising the local mach number leading to a weaker shock, and other thing. It was a lot of fine tuning and deep insight into transonic phenomena.
Does it still work to FST -> filter -> FST if you use an odd filter (or any filter that shifts the phase)? You are encoding the real part in the even part of the spectrum and the imaginary part in the odd, so I think it will go wrong with any kind of phase shift in the filter (equivalently, that would introduce an imaginary part in the time domain signal, which your solution doesn't allow).

So you need to add the condition of a symmetrical filter transfer function. Otherwise, it does seem like a useful shortcut. I have never seen it presented before, but that may be because of the caveats it would have.
I've yet to encounter a webapp whose UX made me as happy as native apps do. The platform simply doesn't offer enough affordances for it.

Down to 9/26 from last years 4/26. Compared to VW's 24/26 that's quite a large delta.

TBH some of ranking on the list makes anecdotal sense (Toyota is #2). Others do not (Mazda as #1?!).

I'm questioning Consumer Reports methodology, how far back do they look? If it's only a sliding window of <3yrs I do not believe thats enough data.

> Or physical satellite offices.

This is what's interesting about the 'remote work doesn't work' group. My first bigCo programming job in the late 90s was at a satellite office with another single developer. We built a lot of software with developers from other satellite offices using only email and phone calls. /shrug
I actually never noticed that. He's got a very standard American dialect/accent. You can't really place where he's from.
I also found Bertrand's email concise and to the point while still being very informative.

Covered all the bases, without requiring a PowerPoint or some long drawn out document to make his case.

The whole thing is 7 sentences but lays the foundational principles of the App Store that persists to this day.
Thanks for this info. Very useful and good to know. I have a positive covid test on record, so fingers crossed.
Office is a space where complete strangers can become a collective, sharing common goals and establishing bonds that can help achieve great things.

This is possible with remote work, but much harder. In my experience, remote workers are generally rather detached from their colleagues and projects. YMMV, but I vastly prefer working from office.
I'm the same way on iPhone—I use several 3rd-party apps, but it'd be 90% as useful to me without any of them.

iPad? Oh hell no. I'd not bother with one, at all, without third-party apps. With them it's amazing, probably my single favorite computer platform for anything that's not programming. Without them it's just a huge, worse (there's not even a calculator!) iPhone.
While your concern is genuine, Apple almost has 60% of the active mobile device market share(according to Statcounter). I think my concern is two fold.

- Apple holds the gateway to both App Store and Web(through standard support). Having worked on web apps in the past, I truly admire the amazing distribution capability the web provides. I can spin up an obscure Linux distro and my web app works on it as long as a browser with good standard support is available. This gives platforms parity at some level and doesn't concentrate the power in the hands of a single platform. I would want most apps to be just web apps.

- If Apple's marketshare keeps on increasing like it has been, we might run into a situation where just one company controls your hardware, OS, services and even web. This is way more scary.
The whole pushback against remote work is absolutely nuts. When the companies were staring at shutdowns and loss of revenue, everyone gladly accepted the idea that people can work from home. And contrary to the popular belief, productivity increased (our own CEO admitted at one point in an all hands). But the minute there was a sign things are opening up, there's a complete opposite viewpoint being pushed from the same people.

I think there's a lot of different things going on here:
1. Control freaks are losing their minds in the Pandemic and they want some of the control back.
2. Extroverts are losing it and want things to be social again.
3. People who have bullshit jobs and absolutely don't add any value except look busy on "make work" are having a hard time justify their need in the company.
4. People who absolutely cant stand their families want to spend time away from them.

And to all of these people I will say, go to the office if that's something you want, but don't make me go too.
He didn't. Telsa did.
His crime was violating the policy. He clearly did not hack into the computer system to get the data, and that's what the CFAA was meant to prosecute.

Put another way, he didn't work around any computer controls to get at the information.
We had higher billable hours during the summer lockdown than ever, though they still came up with the excuse for 2% raises; “well the economy is not good”.

This source suggests that geological methane emissions are about 40% of total emissions: https://phys.org/news/2021-03-natural-geological-methane-emi...

Oil and gas seeps notwithstanding, the vast majority of reservoirs are stable and likely to remain so over human timescales unless we stick wells into them and start piping fluids around on the surface.
I'm trying and failing to think of any important part of "company culture" that only works for people in the same room. Culture is made of shared values (codified in actions, not PowerPoints), communication norms, peer reactions, shared history, inside jokes...all of that stuff can work remotely. If your company has more than one office it already has to work remotely.

> The seat — formally known as single-member district 7F07 — was first created during the last round of redistricting in 2011, drawn to encompass a largely institutional plot of land that housed the D.C. Jail, the now-demolished D.C. General family homeless shelter, and the Harriet Tubman Women’s Shelter. The seat was never filled, largely due to the transient nature of the residents who could have run for it and the significant logistical challenges involved in actually running for office — especially for those political hopefuls who remained behind bars.

I didn't claim that certain races are naturally predisposed to playing basketball, I just quoted an uncontroversial statistic and asked whether it could only be explained by discrimination.
Sure, but this thread is about an employer bringing everyone in for a luncheon. People who are not vaccinated for medical reasons should be taking responsibility for their health in these situations and declining to attend an event like this. (If the employer will count this absence against them despite their medical situation, that's a shitty employer that might be violating ADA laws.)

The issue is with the anti-vaxxer types (including people who won't get vaccinated for religious reasons) who seem to be more likely to attend an event like this without caring about their (or others') vaccination status.

I do believe it is true that everyone in the US who both wants and is able to medically tolerate a vaccine should have been able to get at least their first dose by now.

Regarding herd immunity, I'm honestly not expecting that to ever happen in the US. There are too many people who are skeptical of these vaccines, some for the regular disappointing anti-vax reasons, others who do have serious concerns and/or have been swayed by misinformation. The fact that states and municipalities are resorting to crazy incentives like cash lotteries and even stuff like trucks and guns for people to get vaccinated really illustrates how bad it is.
How do startups manage laptops/mobile phones for their remote employees?
Hello HN! We're a small remote team based out of Europe and India. Yes, by Europe, I mean we're looking to throw a wider net across Europe to find good developers rather than just from the main tech hubs around Amsterdam/Berlin/Paris additional to a small team based out of India.

I wanted to know if any startups do a similar startup and how they manage the devices i.e. delivery, collection of the device if the employee quits. Is there any startup/business that offers this kind of device logistics management across Europe/India? Open to ideas.
Don't abuse CI/CD system as workflow automation tool. There are better and much easier alternatives.

> Samsung dishwasher

Forgive me for getting up on my soapbox, but ... I strongly recommend avoiding Samsung appliances like the plague. I have had nothing but bad luck with Samsung appliances that were not TVs or computer-related. My washer and dryer both failed the first time after less than a year of use. My fridge lasted about two years before the control panel started losing LEDs, and now I replace that control panel periodically -- the replacements start burning out LEDs again typically within a matter of months. LEDs! Burning out! WTF.

To their credit, the mechanical bits of the fridge have been flawless so far (9 years later) but the control panel issue makes me hot under the collar. It's always a guess now as to whether the dispenser is about to give you cubed ice, crushed ice, or water. And judging by the volume of complaints online, I'm not the only one who has this exact experience with their refrigerators.

I even bought my washer and dryer specifically on the recommendation of Consumer Reports. The first time I can remember where they led me astray.
I think a good example of this would be Tim Cook’s email to Phil Schiller on why the Mac’s App Store wasn’t taking off, which was revealed during the Epic Games v Apple trial:

Cook sees the fire, gives a brief thought, and leaves it to Schiller on Christmas Eve to figure out why it started and how to fix it.
In essence but we haven't really gotten anywhere near having a full market economy for schooling. We have seen voucher programs in certain areas but they have also been resisted by teachers unions, possibly affecting their effectiveness.

However, the longer term results of kids who received vouchers show higher graduation rates and college admissions, albeit not always and and generally mild. But there's also evidence that voucher programs have improved public schools as they face competition.

I think we if we really committed to it and abolished government schools then we would see market based schooling improve the quality of education across the board. We could also expand what "qualified education" means and get away from a single standardized test for math, english, etc and begin to assist kids in placing them into academies that will benefit them. For example, by 14 it might make sense to have schools that focus less on academics and more on trade skills. Kids could begin to learn useful skills like carpentry, plumbing, small business operations, etc. that give them a real chance at building a life for themselves. A free market of education would allow people to setup these types of schools and for parents and kids to choose to place into them to set themselves up for success in life.

We can't do this in today's monolithic public school system. We have essentially a one-sized fits all approach with some schools offering AP classes, although even those are being removed in the name of "equity". Putting all our kids into the same system with the same goal of competing with each other to get into the best universities isn't good for most people.
