So I've watched pretty much of all Triggernometry output, the 2 presenters have interesting backgrounds. Konstantin grew up in Soviet Russia and has been pretty left-wing his whole life (now identifies more centre-left), and Francis is a former teacher who spent time in Venezuela (I think his mother is from there?). As you can assume, they are pretty critical of communism.

However it's interesting you've described the content as right-wing, as it's far from that. They are very pro-freespeech, and have interviewed some pretty old-school left-wing people such as George Galloway.

Of course people just see that they interviewed people like Nigel Farage and assume they are right-wing (just because you interview a right/left winger doesn't make you that thing).
I guess build times were a real issue for Figma and it started as an internal project.
"He used to joke that his home office was the biggest GitLab Inc. office in the world because his EA would work there as well."

Maybe my brain is in a post-lunchtime stupor, but what or who is an "EA"?
That’s why the comparison is apt. “Cars are were bad for cities” isn’t a remotely hot take, and yet nobody claims that the invention of the car was a net-negative for the world.
This is a different investigation using scrapped data not internal documents?
you can have the best phone ever. but if you can not talk the big phone companies into putting it on their shelves you are going to have a rough time. my suspicion is android is only as big as it is because verizon did not want to budge on that data thing with Steve jobs. at&t was willing to play ball and it was exclusive and verizon was caught with feature phones only and a couple of janky wince phones with terrible data plan costs.
> protecting elections

Why is a private company involved in this? Shouldn't this be the responsibility of a government agency? If I make a company as large as FB can I start getting involved in controlling elections?
Yup, I love Thoth. At work we just use System.Text.Json + FSharp.SystemTextJson though, that also generates (de)serializers, and it has a bunch of options to fine-tune naming conventions, sum type encoding, etc. Super useful and easy to hammer out the correct type for very big and nested JSONs.
> amazon routinely buries the quality products and presents crap.

Not just crap, crap w/ 4.5 star ratings - that when you check find it's 1 star after 1 star after 1 star.
I don't know Phoenix enough to make a fair comparison, but I'd say it have major features Django doesn't have (like LiveView), but the opposite is probably true.

But as soon as you go to the JS world, you won't find any full-featured framework like Django or Rails. The Django's philosophy is that all components are built by Django team itself whereas in the JS world, existing frameworks tend to gather independent components and define conventions to make them work together in an elegant way, which is very different.
This is probably why Google truly pays to be the default on search. They end up a data collection middleman for people they provide no actual beneficial service[0] to: Folks who already know where they are going.

[0] One could argue that Google will correct spelling and URL errors for you. But on the other hand, it's likely to inject ads above the real destination, which are very likely fraud, so I'd say it's a wash at best there.
Regarding Upstate NY, the externalities to consider from mining are a lot more than the very narrow take this article provides (electricity costs go up!).

I get that the article is about electricity, and not the industry's general impact on a region when it comes in.

That said, who has been to the North Country lately, i.e. really deep up there where these mines are? For those unaware, the jobs are basically:

- Dannemora prison

- One or two small colleges

- light tourism: the seasonal jobs around Lake Placid, niche interest in the 1,000 islands,

- some logging, but most of that area is a state park

- Closer, but not in commuting distance: Ft Drum, a dying dairy industry closer to Utica

It remains to be seen how many jobs come from an industry growing up there. But reading this, from Booth of all places, is sort of like saying electric costs have gone up in the Rust Belt because the first new industry in decades is moved there. NY fought tooth and nail to get Ft. Drum into Watertown/North Country in the 80's for a very good reason - that area is dying.

This is also putting aside that these mines are in dilapidated power plants (fighting the extensive rural (?) blight up there) and pulling ~green energy from the St. Lawrence.
Acting as a mule for money laundering is a crime. They are criminals. They might be young, but the majority of them know they are doing something wrong.
> champagne popping was pretty gauche for a company that already has a “space is for billionaires” PR problem

I still don’t get why this stereotype still exists given you can get sparking wine for like $3 per bottle. During bottomless mimosa specials, I’m pretty sure the orange juice is more expensive than the champagne.
Champagne is my go-to for getting drunk as cheaply as possible.
A paid user + big fan of gitlab. They exist in a strange valley between github and Atlassian where usability has remained high while also being featureful.

Their kanban is 10% more functional than Trello, which is all our small team really needs, they give you everything and they don't nickel and dime you.

The only feature I would like to see improved is their PR process. Seems a bit buggy with remotely large changesets, and the digest for the PR should provide a bit more context to reviewees.
I personally think the reason was to further reduce the need to move your thumb from the bottom of the screen. The current iteration of safari is the only mobile browser I have ever used where I feel comfortable browsing and switching tabs with only one finger.

It's surprisingly well implemented, though some actions (such as accessing history or site settings) take a couple extra taps.
Executive assistant I think in this case, though I’ve seen enterprise architect too!
Executive Assistant
I agree with the general thrust of your comment (and I've been happy to see that GitHub's feature development pick up over the past few years), but I don't know if Markdown is the best example: I've lost track of how many times I or someone else I work with has written some Markdown, only to discover that it's a GH or GL extension and that our deployed documentation (or package index pages) don't render our hard work correctly.
Executive Assistant?
This is because Google and Microsoft have confused the users by allowing them to type whatever into wherever and they just figure it out. Some would call that good UI - probably myself included - but it teaches bad behavior and makes people dumber by obscuring what things really are.
This is also simplistic. I lived before the Internet, and I can't remember the number of times I tried to buy some sort of product from a specialist store that turned out not to carry a product because they instead carried those of a competitor? Was it because the one they carried was better? Sometimes, perhaps. But often it was because of a better business arrangement, and those arrangements were often informally exclusionary to competition.

With online commerce, and particularly Amazon, the testers are now us, the consumers, and the scale of testing is far wider and deeper, which seems like a good thing in some respects. However, apart from the onus now falling on us, which might or might not be a good thing, there's the problem of getting past the "top rated" items in a given domain, and that might be a really big problem.
Android is an operating system. Apple is a company.

“That’s all” is disingenuous. If Samsung could charge a similar premium for their phones, and capture a similar profit, I’m fairly confident they would.
In agile/scrum isn’t this just measuring velocity?
I did try NetBSD first on the Pi but the install wasn't working for me. Getting FreeBSD up and running on the Raspberry Pi was a lot less painful. If I really want to kick around NetBSD I can run an instance of it in GNU Boxes on one of my Linux boxes.

This has always perplexed me. The fact that so many people use a search engine for new windows/tabs combined with browsers shrinking the URL bar to near non-existence makes this an obvious thing people will do though. Reminds me of the old AOL keywords. It's all about getting those precious analytics. If the users go to a website directly from typing a URL, 3rd parties loose those metrics.
Another big win for Joe Montana, but this time via Liquid 2 Ventures.
It's not complexity, it's magic. In a sufficiently complex Django app at work, it was hard to make trivial changes to the codebase without feeling like something was going to unexpectedly break. Development times were abhorrently slow. Even hello-world response times, locally, were in the order of 50-200ms.

Never again.
Exactly. They're billionaires.
I had my comment misinterpreted along similar lines as you are proposing in the first sentence. That's frustrating because the title is not editorialized at all, and I think is an accurate description of the content of the piece.

It is true that this is not a proposal to "get rid of grading" or "pass everyone," but the simple fact that this is trying to maintain meritocracy and improve learning outcomes is the bare minimum and does not mean that it is beyond reproach.

I recognize that this is an attempt to merge equity and meritocracy, but I disagree with the approach and rigor of the method. I don't think it's the obvious improvement that you might hold it to be.
nope, electricity is absolutely fungible. not only in some places consuming excess renewable energy help to stabilize the grid, it also helps producers financially and drives up the demand.

bitcoin literally pushes for increased renewable energy production, which helped fighting climate change more than any political bickering did in the past half a century.
You're certainly right that the submission stream here includes a lot of gems that get overlooked, and that the second-chance pool is a workaround for that—and far from a complete solution. But I think you're overinterpreting the reasons for this ("not about FAANG", "wrong time zone", "SV slacking off", etc.) - one could come up with all sorts of possible such reasons and without data they're all basically just-so stories.

In the absence of specific evidence about specific factors, the simplest explanation is that it's just the way the medium works. By "the medium" I mean the large open internet forum, which HN is an instance of. Stuff routinely gets overlooked. To do something about this, we need countervailing mechanisms. The second-chance pool is the most successful one we've tried so far. I still want to extend the review process to the community at large, and I'm still not sure how quite to do that.
I've had a bunch of bots doing oddly specific nonsense searches in my search engine, stuff like casinos, online pharmacies, warez. The bermuda triangle of dodgy internet sites. They are very strange because they are both generic and specific at the same time.

Here is an example:

> skyrim english voice files (and subtitles) latest version

You get no results with my search engine, but interestingly, if you feed that into google, you get some pretty dodgy top results.

It looks like the type of SEO spam nonsense you find on websites, hacked wordpress deployments are often rife with these types of keywords. I think they are trying to manipulate a would-be suggestion algorithm somehow. Problem is I don't do anything with the user input.
I agree. Finding a balance is tough though.

On one end of the spectrum you grade work throughout the semester, which has the failings you mention above.

On the other end a “final” of some sort is worth 100% of the grade, which feels too high stakes to be a reliable representation of what students truly understand.

I hope to find an explicit recommendation for a good balance.
If you're a college student and you put 1k into your friend's startup, is there a risk that's actually a negative signal for future investors? Do investors in a real series A want a cap table that has a bunch of friends and family chipping in a grand, or are they just going to ask to wipe the slate clean?
The other aspect of this is that the door is open for an accreditation-specific test to become approved.

The resale prices on used Apple hardware is pretty good. When you factor that in, an iPhone may very well be less expensive than a competing Android device.
Oh geez. This most likely means the frequency of their updates will get even faster and their somewhat dubious quality will plummet.

You'd only think this if you had no idea how the art world works. It's more just what's always been happening forever but now you know about it and its easier for anyone to get involved.
The thing I found intriguing about this is it implies some sort of vague stigma to using NFT'd images, eg. setting them as your profile picture on twitter, unless you paid for them. Are there really people who would think ill of you for doing that?
Keystone.js has an admin similar to Django, but nowhere near as full featured.
Should include alternate assembly instructions for the "broke in half" version.

Given that the reason it was removed was IA-64 which isn't a thing anymore... this should be plausible. But also given where MS has gone with games as late I'd be surprised if they do. EA should just release all of Full Tilt! Pinball on steam or GoG if they haven't already.
Apple wins because of its software not because of its marketing.

It seems the competition still doesn't get that Android is not good enough to compete with Apple on the luxury/premium market. Most of the "extra" software developed by the competition is bloatware and spyware. The core design is developed only by Google who is weaker on design than Apple.

That's why Apple gets the bulk of the premium market and leaves the competition to battle on the cheap segment.
In spoken English, this would be expressed by ending the sentence with an exaggerated pitch change for the question and a pause; it’s a way to indicate uncertainty and give someone else an opportunity to affirm or provide a contrary opinion without conflict.

Rendering it in written English is not correct per formal rules, you’d probably never see this in an English textbook, but it’s a semi-common colloquialism in forums like these.

That's not the original premise of clouds, that's the original premise of renting out servers, which is much older. The original premise of clouds is “enable dynamic provisioning of resources”.

GitHub has stronger 'social' features and it's better for people who want to connect to other devs or build portfolios.

GitLab is years ahead of GitHub for certain stuff (e.g. CI/CD) and IMO it has a better commercial offering for business.

I use GitHub as my portfolio profile for free and GitLab in my $JOB.

That's my opinion tho, I'm just a person who uses both.
But you can also invest in a fund that gets better deal flow, and your exposure can be more easily spread around.
People who don't know anything get confused, but this is going to be older people who are struggling to use computers, the people that call the Microsoft Edge icon "the internet".

> The problem with all-chat in League of Legends, particularly in the ranked queue, is that it can only hurt your team's chances to win. At best, you're wasting time typing; at worst, you're actively frustrating and distracting yourself from what is already a very difficult game.

I don't agree; /all is a very viable vector for giving your team a huge leg up. If you are skilled at talking shit, you can usually tilt someone on the other team so much that they become a non-factor. So many times I've seen the enemy team turn on each-other because one of their laners made some small mistake, which I capitalized on as a chance to relentlessly attack them in /all chat. They become tilted and start playing poorly, their team starts attacking them as well for the poor play, and often they will either troll, constantly call for a surrender, or even AFK in the fountain. The mental aspect of the game is just another tool in your arsenal for gaining an advantage over the enemy, and in my opinion it's just as important as the mechanical and strategic aspects.
Are they? What's the Gitlab market share?

Also, it sounds to me like Github is leaving the old lunch of "Git hosting + issue tracking" on the table, and moving on to being a kind of web-based all-in-one full-service collaboration/dev platform with a social network built in. So even if Gitlab picks up some single-digit-percentage market share, that's not what Github cares about anyway.
I'm not clear on whether the majority of fake reviews come from "fake review rings" that could be identified, or from what we might call "certain business practices" which could be extremely hard to detect. Do you have any sense of which one dominates?
Seems like some form of modern dualism -- humanity has always had the habit of attributing positive decisions to the non-physical "soul", "spirit", while looking down upon the physical body as tainted, corruptible or weak...
It's much, much faster than sms. Many of my friends refuse to get whatsapp let alone signal.
Would it make it cheaper? I understood that the initial investment is the main cost factor for renewable energy sources. The full load hours for on-shore wind in Germany are about 40% of the total hours per year. You would then need 2.5x the amount of windmills to reach 100% This does not count for the fact that thier production is somewhat related (i.e. low wind speeds on all Europ) so you would need an even higher factor. And of course the investment to get to 100% renewables in the energy mix. To compensate for that the electricity would need to rise I think?
His explanations seem very clear and simple, I'd dig into it, just to get a better understanding of rust, and the game dev part also seems do-able, unlike other authors where they dive into some complex pieces causing frustration to the learner.

Your link is press-release like article. It cites a self-reporting based survey published by the Bitcoin Mining Council, a "voluntary global forum of Bitcoin mining companies and other companies in the Bitcoin industry", that goes so far as to claim Bitcoin is "one of the most sustainable industries globally".

This hardly seems like an objective, reputable source whose claims should be accepted at face value.
a global p2p payment network has value.
Wrong. Stop making false excuses and rationalizations and shilling for Bitcoin's Proof of Waste. Bitcoin is China's way of exporting coal through the atmosphere. Bitcoin shills also produce huge quantities of hot air and CO2 by endlessly repeating false claims like "Bitcoin doesn't run on coal".

>The vast computing power needed to create new bitcoins has driven up energy bills for residents and businesses

>Millions of people who have neither mined nor traded a bitcoin are nevertheless paying for bitcoins to exist. That’s because the vast computing power needed to create new bitcoins consumes enormous amounts of electricity and has driven up energy bills for residents and businesses, according to University of California at Berkeley’s Matteo Benetton and Adair Morse and Chicago Booth’s Giovanni Compiani.

I moved to Britain a couple of years ago, and I was surprised at how many legitimate transactions are done in an insecure way.

For example, I had had to talk my credit card number out loud on a telephone call to put a deposit on a flat and to renew some subscriptions.

At the same time, most high street banks have terrible security infrastructure: HSBC regularly calls me and asks me to give sensitive information and sends me PIN codes via snail mail and text message.

These things tend to work in a first-world high-trust society like the UK, but I'm not surprised that people fall for these scams. I'm lucky that most of them seem to target older and more gullible people than I; otherwise they could be impossible to separate from legitimate actions.
Yes, but that was about the quality of the assembly of the plane, particularly with 787s coming from the Boeing plant in South Carolina (which was until recently one of two plants that assembled the 787 - now however it's the only one). This article is about unnamed parts (whatever they may be) coming from an unnamed supplier (whoever it may be), but not related to the actual quality of Boeing's work (except maybe the quality control of the parts of course).

Shall we get into what Bill Gates has been accused of? How about the things we know he did? I don't think that's necessary. Bill is a pretty bad guy, I don't care what kind of charity he's been running, just ask his wife.

I don't care about his foundations and charities. Philanthropic acts are the norm for someone who has been the richest human on earth and it probably offers him some relief when he tries to sleep at night. Also they're just stupendous tax shelters and ways to cushy jobs for people who do nice things for you.

The move is being criticized by many professors, politicians and advocates for academic freedom as a threat to tenure, which is intended to protect faculty from dismissal without just cause, allowing them to develop thoughts or ideas that may be unpopular.

Reap what you sow. Universities have spent twenty years crushing unpopular opinions with free speech zones and hate-mob controlled speaking appointments. They've attacked the concept of due process by booting students at the slightest unsubstantiated accusation of racism or sexual assault.

If this wasn't a disaster I'd be pissing myself laughing.
