Are you sure they list the individual commits? It looks like they summarize PRs when watching the demo screen capture. Will be interesting to see how useful it is for an open source project with diverse commit/PR message levels.
That's not true. On the "believing" side, Al Gore certainly politicized it.
Spot on! It’s so bizarre that people won’t bring up politics in person but feel it’s ok to blast their opinions to those same people.

> On September 30 the department chair at MIT called to tell me that they would be cancelling the Carlson lecture this year in order to avoid controversy.

The department chair should be named as there needs to be accountability for such decisions that are derisive for free academic endavors. Don't blame a Twitter mob, the decision to give in to unreasonable demands was made here.

The comments on Twitter demand much without saying anything worthwhile. They are alumni and that allegedly perfectly justifies their propositions. In some contexts that was also a title for a priestly scholar and these initiatives are nothing else than a religion that demands allegiance. They see themselves on an enlightened mission to rid the world of unbelievers. This has to stop, best would be yesterday.

I think holding these chairs accountable is the best start. Here the mistake was made because they know the smarter ones often give in. That is were Poppers magic words so often cited by the disciples of goodness actually become relevant.

Furthermore I don't think Ford wants to be associated with racism and discrimination again.
Using only NAND-gates, you can implement any other logic gates which means you can build an entire programmable computer using only NAND-gates.

For example, if you send the same signal to both inputs of a NAND gate, you have an inverter, i.e. a NOT-gate. If you place a NOT gate after a NAND-gate then the combination is an AND gate. If you invert both inputs you have an OR gate. Binary addition can be built from AND + XOR, subtraction from addition and so forth.

If you pipe the output of an OR-gate back to one of the inputs, then you have a latch which can remember one bit of information. Combine two latches you have flip-flop which can be driven by a clock signal. (The clock signal can be generated by a loop of NOT-gates.) Place flip-flops in parallel you have RAM.

This is why I believe Nate Graham does a fantastic job with weekly KDE updates[0]. He actually goes through the pain to condense every bugfix/feature addition to readable and grokkable single line, and it makes for great changelog read.

Of course, not every project can manage to write such a thoughtful post for every release, but if Mr. Graham can do it for something as sprawling as KDE, then can sure at least try.

I fill up my voicemail ever week, 99% of them from the area code of my phone, which is 1500 mi from where I live now, and all are spam. I wish I could just block an area code.
RCS "engaging with mobile operators" means that it will enable spam and marketing.

Erlang supports hot reloading by design with no limitations. There can even be some threads using the old and some using the new version simultaneously. It was designed for phone exchanges where they aimed for 9 nines of availability. You can install it on most mainstream operating systems.
Anecdotally around 90% of the people I know in the UK (40s age group ) have Facebook and use it for something (even if it's just for checking restaurants/gigs etc), almost everyone uses Messenger or Whatsapp. Also for those saying they use Facetime, stats suggest that half phones in the UK are Android. FB is relevant, even if you want to be, maybe in the same ways Windows/Microsoft is relevant for a whole load of people.

This article is unfair.

Yes, there is cheap material used in some place, often sunny, and the standard of construction wouldn't cut it in eastern Europe now. Especially in Suburbland (Charleston, Hungtington WV). But most houses are quite solid and can last a long time.

The main issue is carpentry technique/knowledge, and tooling. My genetic grandfather was a construction worker in Ohio for a long time (from his 30s to his 60s i guess), mostly worked with wood, and was baffled when he came to France in late 2000s and my father showed him his woodwork/construction techniques (he is a film carpenter/painter/decorator), which are far from the best. He then started a 3rd cabin in his property (so we could visit him), and you can really tell the difference in quality after merely 2 month and some emails exchanged.
Oh I meant the opposite - a 'what' description (bad) being just an English re-run of the code in the commit ('add missing indentation') vs. 'why' that explains what problem it fixed/feature it added ('fix syntax error on navigating to page blah').

I meant that a good 'why' commit subject that gets propagated to release notes is more likely helpful to an end user - ooh nice yes I have had that problem, cool it's fixed, I don't care exactly what fixed it.

What fascinates me most is how quick this can be done. If you do your "homework" and find out which device needs to be attacked, you can really set everything up in advance and can be done in no time. Amazing and shocking at the same time.
If you have WhatsApp you used an email to install it from an app store and you have the other person phone contact. The solution is obvious, but social outrage seems more important.

I think having v1.0 as the LTS hurt quite a bit since some packages (DifferentialEquations.jl) never worked on the LTS, so we just kind of YOLO'd for a bit from version to version only testing the latest. The next LTS is v1.6 once v1.7 comes out. I think a lot more package ecosystems will start adopting tests on the LTS, which will make versioning issues a lot less prevalent.
The irony there is that drag queens are appropriating womanhood for the purposes of mockery. They don't really have much ground to complain if women then appropriate a few make-up styles back.

That always sounds like a good idea but isn't really practical. It makes government a party to every lawsuit, matters that are supposed to be between two parties. The court is supposed to be the neutral arbitrator. Having the government raking in money from the civil judgements creates perverse incentives.

The paper also examined individual counties in the US and found no correlation. There have been numerous outbreaks within fully vaccinated groups. You can speculate that these outbreaks would've been even bigger if these groups weren't vaccinated, but ultimately the virus spreads no matter what. The word "stop" to me implies an end to viral spread, not an indeterminate amount of reduction - that's a "slowdown".

What I’m talking about here isn’t my WA group chat with my soccer team.

I’m talking about 911 being reachable, or about government communication with its citizens etc.

For these bigger use cases, there are contingency plans. For example, 911 will remain reachable via other carriers for you even when your carrier goes down.

For some governments, WA is in the critical path for these use cases. And you can’t route around WA as it’s one product by one company who is the sole maintainer of it.
I believe at some point in the last couple of years (iOS 13 maybe?) they switched to a machine learning-based system and yes, it's been significantly worse since.

Rather than reading what tech/science writers can summarize on a lap (remember, they only learned the laureates' names a hour ago or so), I prefer to simply head over to YouTube and look for a lecture given by a laureate themselves.

Unless you dealing with things where signal integrity matters any drawing program with fixed dimensions that you can reliably print from whilst maintaining dimensional accuracy if you are using the print and transfer method works well.

CAD software for PCBs becomes a must when you need to deal with a lot of components in odd sizes/package formats, you need auto routing, being able to simulate resistance, impedance or clearance for high voltage sections of your PCB or when you actually need to get your PCB manufactured by a 3rd party that has specific requirements for file formats etc.

And even then some of these 3rd parties allow upload of graphical formats for the trace and solder mask layers.

Yep, now we have better insulation techniques, here in Spain i am living a newly built house and only 3 walls are bricks and concrete. The rest is a frame with insulated walls. Feels like a concrete house.
this likely depends on the point of view. ie. if you count the offline hours of all telcos vs. whatsapp, sure wa comes out on top. but from the perspective of an individual, the availability of wa is far lower than that of my mobile phone network.

The Wikipedia section you linked is a collection of evidence-free "concerns." I think most people at HN are aware of the basic situation with Huawei: there are hypothetical "concerns" but no evidence of Huawei ever having engaged in espionage. You can say that it's black and white that Huawei is a tool of Chinese espionage, but you're just speaking from your priors, not from the evidence.

> the dystopian nightmare that is Chinese warrantless spying on their own citizens

Now who's changing the subject? If you're in China, yes, the government has enormous power to surveil you. If you're outside of China, there's no evidence that the Chinese government is using Huawei to spy on you. Given the level of interest in Huawei, I think we'd have heard by now if there were concrete evidence. Instead, all we get are endless hypotheticals. If you're in the US, it's simply a fact that you're much more likely to be surveiled by the US government than by the Chinese government.

Indeed — when you look at this from other engineering disciplines: having your train track built for "no downtime, ever" means that you have a third track available, with its dedicated platforms, so that you can work on one track while traffic goes on.

This might make sense for your inner city loop, with trains passing by every 30 seconds (and it's gonna help when one train inevitably breaks down).
However, it's a totally unreasonable cost for a station deep in the country where trains only stop 4 times a day.

Ask HN: What unsolved infosec challenges have you faced as a startup or SMB?
Hi HN,

I have a passion for solving problems related to peoples or organizations' security and privacy.

I want to see if trying to solve some of the problems I have run into would also benefit others, but before I do that I wanted to see if anyone on HN had also run into similar obstacles.

I am most interested in making it easy for Small and medium size businesses and startups alike to have a scalable and affordable way to manage security controls.

For example, I've noticed basic log collection and simple security controls (outside of authentication) are usually thought about long after all sorts of systems and networks have already been implemented, costing more in the long run.
My experience is that managers just tell you what to focus on for what the team needs. They don't care about the person's needs. They certainly don't offer very good career advice (the new model are DCLs that are basically just senior devs that spend 60% of their time leading people). I guess I have bad managers.

For example, I switched to the current team a little over a year ago and it's just non-stop context switching. I'm expected to work in and know multiple and technologies (java, python, DB2, Dynamo, all manner of AWS stuff, and a bunch of vender products like Splunk and Tableau). Subsets of the applications that we own have turned over and shifted around twice in this time. I'm constantly being pulled off of one story to work on another because something broke or the business has an urgent need.

I'm told I'm slow. My manager and I even agree that I'm slower than I was in other teams because we didn't have that much context switching. They said there's nothing they can do about context switching. So I said it sounds like I should move to a team with less context switching that that would provide a better environment to succeed. They immediately tried to talk me out of it. I'm not sure if she was actually dumb or if she was just playing dumb, but she couldn't even comprehend how being on a team with less context switching would be beneficial to me.
