Godwin's law exception: Hitler and Mussolini were voted-in.

Masses of gullible idiots take much longer to realize (if ever because of ego protection) it was a bad idea after-the-fact, while students of history saw it coming. This is why direct "democracy" is a terrible idea. Governance by popularity is stupid. Ask Socrates.
Clang/LLVM was created by apple, and Netflix upstream's to FreeBSD...but google and microsoft to linux? And no don't tell me Microsoft works on linux, they try to integrate it into the windows "ecosystem".
When I bought my wagon 5 years ago it was impossible to find a wagon for less than a few thousand over KBB, and they're mostly sold around the 70k miles mark because maintenance tends to shoot up. I was specifically looking for manual AWD wagons, which it seems people cherish and run into the ground like I will mine.

Boomerang is the leader in email productivity software. Since 2010, Boomerang has helped millions of email users focus on what matters, when it matters. From making sure messages receive responses to revolutionizing how we schedule meetings, thanks to Boomerang, effective digital communication has never been easier.

We work hard, but we do it for a sane number of hours every week. We use our own products obsessively, which means we both understand them in our bones and can get even more done. In addition to having millions of users, we're also profitable. So we get to do things like giving back a portion of our profits to support education in Burma.

As nice as these structures are, and as much as I appreciate the skills it takes to roll up your sleeves and build something like this, ultimately it is an illegal annexation of public land that belongs to the taxpayers and has other intended uses (even if that use is just greenspace or empty land). The act of building on this land is a crime, and should not be allowed. The West Coast cities need to enforce the law and protect the interests of actual residents, who legally reside in those cities and pay their fair share of taxes.

As for the vagrants in these encampments - my experience has been that most are not locals, despite what surveys say, because the surveys always rely on volunteered answers about origins, rather than proven identity. Regardless, everyone must show personal responsibility and people need to realize they are not entitled to a life in the most attractive and expensive locations on the planet. There are TONS of open jobs across the country and lots of places that are great to live in and affordable. They don't have the same 'brand' as the Bay Area or other West Coast locations, but as the saying goes, beggars can't be choosers. What I do think we can band together to provide is a service that matches those in need with jobs in other locations, along with bridge funding to move locations and get settled in.

No. Basically the pick up truck like this:

But the back space connected/open with the main cabin.
So you're planning on just letting this happen on your devices; I get it, too much hassle, etc. No need to try and get others to not opt out if they choose to though, that sounds like a lot of effort for someone who's okay with it. Or are you paid by Amazon to promote it?
I saw, as long as the code stays clean I think we're going to be kicking ourselves this only happened now.
I do have data: I and a friend of mine have refused to do coding tests. It was really funny because frequently hiring folks start acting as if I insulted him. And we could still find a job, and it's not overrun by idiots or incompetents. The standards are not 'lower' and the company does not perform worse or pay worse.

So why can we hire a doctor without asking him to transplant a dog's kidgey during an interview, but not a developer?
I think the point is that advertisers care about groups, not individuals
I don't know why this is down voted. Maybe because at this point creating a Google account now requires such a link?

I don't know much about any of the cryptocurrencies beside Bitcoin & Ethereum.

But my interest was initially piqued by IOTA back in 2017. It quickly died when I realized that it didn't prevent double-spends and, critically - at least at the time - it was completely non-functional!

The fact that it was down for 11 days only a few months ago and that it's still somehow worth $3Bn is amusing.

What's really interesting is... From my limited knowledge, Zcash and Monero DO actually work and have use cases being anonymous. Yet they have roughly the same "market cap" as IOTA.

Last time I spoke with a person from Ukraine. He was saying that they are at war with Russia. In situation where on frontline they cannot shoot back because Russia would paint them as offenders in media. Propaganda machine is so strong that Ukrainian people living in Russia would believe that Ukraine is now a fascist country and would gladly support even more intervention. In the meantime the country is economically struggling, people are leaving the west for work.

If all sources of information are feeding you with propaganda, public institutions are deeply corrupt and your wages/retirement is propped by petro dollar you get people supporting Putin.

What the West should be doing is to support Ukraine defending their territory. Instead, they freeze conflict for 5+ years without resolution.
It's not just a size thing. To give an example, the Mazda 6 and Mazda CX5 are similar in size, weight, price, and manufacturer, but the wagon version of the Mazda 6 sold so poorly in the US that it's no longer offered, and the crossover sells an order of magnitude more units than the sedan.

My best guess is the motivation is largely social, driven by a perception of what kind of person drives each style of vehicle.
This shouldn't be downvoted as Putin is indeed quite popular, it's weird.

A Russian dev I knew mildly supported Putin, but he was in Canada to do dev work due to limited opportunities back home. We talked about Putin grabbing VKontakte and corruption etc..

They guy was very smart but the cognitive dissonance of him not realizing that Putin is literally the 'King of Corruption' that essentially supports and enables all of those terrible things is literally why he had to leave Russia.

But as long as 'Putin is Strong' (or appears to be) - they like him.

I've lost a lot of respect for Russians since 2010, in much the same way I lost a big chunk of respect for many Americans during the Trump era. It's one thing to be 'pragmatic' and accept Putin as the 'lesser of other evils' or to not understand business and therefore believe that Trump is a 'genius businessman' ... but it takes just a tiny bit of self-awareness to see past the stupidity.

Putin is extremely corrupt, not directly tied to the Mafia but essentially it's under his umbrella because he enables it.

If Putin was an actual 'Patriot' he would be viciously going after corruption, instead of just mouthy oligarchs and murdering journalists, he'd be putting top corrupt officials in jail and trying to transform the dour expectation that Russians have that their 'Leaders are Corrupt and That's The Way It Is'.

The fact that a leader can almost openly murder opposition opponents and journalists, and intelligent, educated people just believe the propaganda is staggering.

I had dinner with a nice, educated Russian girl who seemed surprised when I illustrated to her all of the shenanigans of corruption at the Sochi Olympics, as if it was the first she had heard of it.

It's understandable that uneducated rural people with no access to information buy into propaganda. But it's unacceptable that urbane, educated, Russians support that guy. They'll reap what they sew - the same goes for everyone else.

I have team members stuck in Belarus, they're pragmatic about it. Lukashenko doesn't have hugely popular support but I'm feeling that Belarussians are more chill than Russians. They're also pretty much ethnically Russian, so there's that and the economy is naturally tied to Russia.

It's feeling a little bit like 1985.
This happens regularly all over california and it is the most dissappointing part of this state. We need more campgrounds and trailhead parking. Having like a 10 car lot for a trailhead is unacceptable, pathetic even. Closer to where I live, in the Palos Verdes peninsula, residents fight to remove public parking near beaches or trails all the time, and they tend to win these disputes. It's such a sad state of affairs how the rich can abuse our public resources to such a degree in this state.
Doesn't this break the terms of service for most ISPs? I remember during the last crypto-craze, there were attempts to monetize this resharing with tokens of some sort and the ISP's put an end to that real quick with legal threats against anyone reselling their internet. Even if this is free Amazon sharing, I'm sure some business is being built off of it?
Here is 1 for you:

https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2021/04/06/surprisingly-slow/

This is really even a common knowledge - if you did ANY IT work, you should already know it. I can't count the number of times when server wasn't working correctly when it turns out it just has Defender on.
Why do you want manual transmission? Every time I get the nostalgia for driving a stick shift I rent or borrow one for a weekend and rediscover that it's a huge pain in the ass and generally not worth it.
Trying to escape from prison is victimless. Scams, thefts and rapes have victims. Some argue that crimes without victims like using drugs are not crimes. They, of course, could be illegal and result in fines and related but not in restrictions of liberty like imprisonment.

2020 is 6 inches longer, and 4 inches wider.
8 inches higher overall. So yes bigger.
Dell? Silver Lake played a big role in that IIRC.
> Onboarding new team members is a lot harder and they feel less part of the "team"

On the other hand, we onboarded someone who lives in Vermont (the rest of the team is in the same town on the west coast) and since we are all working remotely, other than changing his working hours to align with our own, you can’t tell the difference between him and us.
But would it have come to the forefront in the form of FreeBSD, or in the form of macOS or a similar system?

France was for a long time until recently though, the current situation is the exception.
This is utter nonsense.

It's maybe the case if you're running a 15+ year old PC with the slowest spinning rust disk and 1GB of RAM.

Now I'm curious. What is your secret power?
And they, you know, couldn't demand rights to the code of their own OS? Sounds like Sun had some galaxy-brainers of their own.

That's not correct, you just have to make it available IF you redistribute the code. That's why you will never see a Google Data-center Linux-Kernel.
MiraDx | Senior Software Engineer | Los Angeles, CA | Full-time | Onsite (preferred) or Remote

MiraDx builds genetic tests to predict patient responses to cancer treatments. We have also developed an FDA-authorized COVID-19 test.

My name is Joanne Weidhaas, and I am an oncologist, molecular biologist and professor at UCLA. I founded MiraDx in 2008 with my colleague Frank Slack. MiraDx spun out of our research on a new class of genetic biomarkers. Over the last year, in addition to developing a COVID-19 test in the lab, we have also developed software to handle our large volume of COVID-19 testing.

We are looking for our first full-time software engineering hire to take the lead on that software (our stack is TypeScript, Next.js/React, Salesforce). Longer term, you would lead the development of new software to streamline our genetic testing more broadly. You would also take significant product ownership of the software roadmap.

If you're interested, please email me at joanne@miradx.com with "Software Engineer HN" in the subject line.
One thing to note, and this was seen with the Skype purchase, typically contracts as part of a private equity deal limit stock issued to lower level employees but also generally have an aggressive clawback clause.

I'm too lazy to find the best reference, but this is one re: Skype - https://www.businessinsider.com/skype-scandal-silver-lake-20...
You could make an argument that Berkshire Hathaway is the largest M&A firm ever. But it's not really private equity (though it's not really public, either).
I never really felt faster eliminating mouse from my coding workflow. Point and click to navigate things is pretty powerful. Why some devs try to avoid the mouse?
I've also been seeing this in Firefox for the past couple weeks or so.

The video quality will default to "Auto-1080p" or similar but it will be visibly much worse than 1080p quality. Switching to 1080p manually seems to be the only way to get good quality.

Yes, they are well-founded as has been shown time and again. But the article is about copyright assignment, not changing the license. The debate around copyright assignment is whether there's any need/benefit to have a single entity 'own' all contributions vs. the individual contributors retaining ownership. There are a couple of big downsides to copyright assignment in that there's a longer term risk that a malicious actor will gain influence on a given project and change the terms going forward which has a tendency to drive potential contributors away. This has happened with various partially-open source (dual license, open core etc. types of projects) projects over the years.

I think what he was saying is that advertisers don't care about you as an individual, only what groups you fall into.

That's true for advertisers that are discriminatory as well as ones that just want to advertise what they're selling to people most likely to buy it.
you can target an Economist reader a week later on a different website. If FLoC works, you can still do that.

https://github.com/WICG/floc won't really let advertisers do that, this is what https://github.com/WICG/turtledove is for

(Disclosure: I work on ads at Google, speaking only for myself)
As seen with ExtJS/Sencha and TravisCI. I'm sure the story will be the same. Chill for about 6 months to 1 year, and then layoff all the engineers, layoff the support while shipping it overseas and then hope long tail subscriptions and "trapped" organizations continue to pay the fees.
is something like that what happened to the ever given?

I'm not a mod, but they almost certainly track the IP addresses of people who create accounts. It's basically impossible to do spam prevention otherwise.
“Why not both?”
This is what happens when you have UX designers as full-time employees. They need some sort of grand project to work on. Same thing happened with reddit.
> The U.S. is suspicious of many types of documentation. E.g. none needed for voting in many areas, etc. The culture tends towards erring on less bureaucracy.

I used to respect that viewpoint - but, honestly, I can't take it seriously anymore after we learned first of NSA mass surveillance and then of the loaded discussion about voter fraud and the byzantine voter registration procedures.

The US is still drawing up a specter from the cold war era while ignoring that those danger never materialized when national IDs where actually issued - and while actively developing tech that is far more invasive than a simple ID.

I think by now, introducing a federal ID could even help the fight against racism: If there was a single federal ID that was easily obtainable for any US citizen, that would remove the need for all the different and in part discriminatory registration systems, while still allowing voter fraud concerns to be addressed.
There has been a lot of talk lately about big cloud companies using open source projects and forking them privately. I think the principles of the FSF are becoming more and more relevant, not less.

People considered the GPLv3 excessive. Now we see tivoization everywhere, and people cries because corporations are soooo evil. Well, maybe you should not use licences that let them do that. People who think the FSF is too idealistic are missing the point - the FSF is terribly realistic, it's the ones who don't care about software freedom who end up learning the hard way why the FSF exists.
A huge portion of the growth in cloud was the relatively cheaper aspect for a VPS vs places that sold physical server rackspace. Once the foothold was in there the value-add of services on top became a huge revenue generator.
You forgot to mention that huge abominable single point of failure called registry.
Season-four Homer Simpson was 36.
The way my team (informally, management isn't in it) was to create a Discord with several rooms. If a couple of you are working together, you can jump to a different room and screen-share. If you want a chat, move to a busy room. If you want to do some head-down work, mute and deafen. It's been really valuable, especially for someone like me who joined during lockdown.
Plan A helps financial institutions and enterprises clients monitor, reduce, and offset their carbon emissions (https://plana.earth).

Carbon accounting is still done with spreadsheets by consultants. We're building the stack to automate and scale this process across complex emissions, as well as the interfaces to integrate the process into our clients’ workflows. We're also building the company to drive awareness for - and develop solutions to address - the problem of climate change.

Apparently Toyota followed their own internal standards, the code met them, and no bug that would cause unintended acceleration has ever been found.
