>If that prose is written in a code that is only meant to be comprehensible to sociologists and postmodernists, I don't see the sense in publishing it (as in, making it public).

I mean, it was a doctoral dissertation, written exclusively for an audience of Literature PhDs[1]. Other times, these papers are published in specialized journals. Without publishing, how else would they disseminate their research?

And even if it's not for me, I'm always happy for open access to research. So I'm happy whenever postmodern thinkers make their work available to the public, in the same way I am when thinkers of abstract mathematics do. I personally will probably not be looking in either work, though :-).

I would recommend the creators ask themselves if their software _really_ needs to be hosted or can it be sold as a one-off (self-host or desktop/mobile).
I completely agree; I tend to like approval voting just because it is nearly as good as the other scoring methods while being very simple.
Also, "To those of you who are not people I harmed in my psychotic episode in August 2017… what is it you think I owe you?"

There seems to be this tendency that people who only learned about something 5 minutes ago get outrage and demand retribution. Like it's a reflex.

The mob has vigilante tendencies. Let's go write an email to someone's employer and demand that they fire them. Millions of people band together and demand justice. For what?
This is genuinely hilarious, like truly and deeply funny.

I’m not familiar with this guy or the 2017 incident but based off of a cursory Google it looks like he’s kind of famous for having ~edgy opinions~ about race and intelligence.

It’s entirely likely that people dislike him for this reason and not because of some old tweets. This piece is some amazing performative bullshit that somehow accuses anybody that dislikes him (or doesn’t care to read his writing) of being insensitive to mental health issues. If you don’t like his opinions, you’re actively victimizing everyone with bipolar disorder! There’s no other possible interpretation!
I didn't get on much with fedora when I last used it, it sounds like it's gotten better though.
>BLM's problem[1] is that it's a national movement about local problems. It's city cops, not the FBI, that kill people with impunity.

Which happens because black people are overrepresented when it comes to crime, which happens because they are overrepresented in being poor as dirt.

There is racism in the police force in the US, no doubt, but constantly dealing with criminals and seeing a disparity in a race is bound to make people racist. If you were to wave a magic wand and make all racism in the US disappear overnight, new racism would appear in the span of a month because poor people are still poor. This is why I think BLM was headed towards failure from the very start.

No law enforcement != no action ("pretend that did not see it").

Hmm. Despite the edit, I still do not see it as strawman. The important piece and this may be the piece missing from this conversation is 'what action did I take?'. It is not that law enforcement is necessary in all, most, or even some instances. The question is whether you IGNORE something that should not be ignored.

Again, it is possible I am not understanding your argument. Please elaborate.
> Free trials should not require a credit card.

I'm not in business to provide services to people who want stuff for free permanently. They complain on forums, raise stink and spend nearly no money. They are not my customers. I always ask for a credit card for a free trial. The fewer non-customers signup, the better it is for me.

halifax is still livable if you get money from someplace that isn't halifax, but what does that say to the future of halifax? Who will provide all the services when they can't afford to live there on halifax incomes? What's the healthcare availability in NS compared to other provinces - Halifax healthcare was in crisis even before COVID.

Just in October they announced that the child healthcare system was at capacity and they might have to start diverting patients to other provinces. How does that work for people who aren't on remote engineer salary, and how does that bode for the future of halifax?

You're going to love our tagline then :) Moving B2B sales from vendorship Partnership.

Don't get me wrong, there will always be transactional purchases, but in the B2B SaaS space we're operating in buyers are looking for partners to teach and guide them.

The businesses that we sell to (and that our users sell to) are trying to solve a problem rather than purchase a product. It's hard to help someone solve a hairy problem in a meaningful way if you look at the sale as transactional. Also since this is SaaS the buyer can leave. You need to continue to provide value over an extended period of time.
i mean i get the hate, but categorize moderating facebook as 'can't even moderate a website' is pretty outrageous
Oh, I see. this wouldn't apply to a US/Canada citizen, since the US taxes worldwide income.
Really like the high quality design of the paper! €250 for a kit + shipping/assembly time does seem like a heavy price that would take a long time to pay for itself if not used in a centralized commercial facility. I like to imagine in the future we'll all have circular economy infrastructure built directly into open source hardware appliances in our living spaces, no need to 'take out the trash'

Petite investors. I saw somewhere on another thread speculation that a crash could come from prospective land lords not being able to make their properties affordable. That seems possible.
i do think it'll get there because it seems like the Apple Watch could be a manufacturing test bed for whatever AR product they are developing. and battery performance is at the very top.

in some ways the Apple Watch is a package that allows Apple to iterate on key elements of the miniaturization technology while having consumers pay for it and scale.

i just think that it feels like that's all Apple Watch is now, just a place to iterate hardware tech for some other future device they are more interested in.
Yes. Our availability target is not high. Our priorities while designing this system were 1. Data durability - need to make sure scientific data is never lost, 2. cost - our budget is small, and we build what we can afford, 3. performance - extract most value out of the hardware we use, 4. Availability - maximise availability by virtue of having fewer things that can fail. However, fancy failover systems and distributed filesystems may be out of reach(at least for now).

So, we make do with what we have. We have three similar storage configs(and three mirrors as slow backups). We carry spare memory sticks, Optane drives, disks, and power supply for minimising down time due to hardware failures. If something were to go wrong for which we don't have spares, yes, the storage will be offline until we can fix it.

Planned updates? - we have two scheduled downtimes in a year. All patches to these machines happen at that time. These machines are strictly internal and don't have internet access except for those planned maintenance days.
People might do good things or bad things, but people aren't good or bad. They're just people. Actions can be good or bad. It's fair to completely condemn the action, not the person. Since you can't get inside someone's head to know their motives, it's dishonest - or at best deluded - to totally condemn anyone. You can't fix a css problem by debugging the server code.
That is what you get when you have a nation run by lawyers and bureaucrats with a sprinkling of corporate corruption on top.
I think that the rise of automated dependency resolution tools, like maven, has made this exponentially worse. It's routine for tools to to have hundreds or even thousands of dependencies, something that would never happen if you manually had to manage them.

My .m2 directory has 4000+ jar files in it, for example.

They make you more productive, but much more vulnerable.
You left out the solar to electric efficiency. If that's 30% (which is an upper limit if you produce the best solar cells you can) batteries have twice as efficient a round trip loop from the sun. In return, they are far less mobile and heavier to ship once loaded. Meanwhile, we can talk about moving around H2 via pipelines. Or simply higher energy storage for big uses. (Less energy spent dragging around batteries). Plus, the batteries do require lithium, which is pretty nasty stuff to get.
Ah, if only it were so easy to cure depression and general anxiety. Also, consider the 3rd step to take months if not years, unless you want to go the medication route and just remove the symptoms altogether.

I've been in talk therapy for 18 months, best decision ever, I can easily imagine it to require 18 more months before the work we're doing actually sticks and creates lifelong value.
Thanks! It's exciting to launch to General Access the products we've been building and working on for years.

For a WebRTC SaaS, the right product would likely be GlobalTURN. Advantage would be a single TURN server that works globally, and a TURN server that improves the quality and latency of connections, often even better than direct peer to peer.

> Thing is...we don't need AMP to get those features.

I addressed this in another comment thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29269423), but I disagree. The fundamental problem is one of incentives—individual companies don't have the leverage to fight back against ad companies and advertisers that want to implement bad user experiences and slow loading JS. Google's adoption of AMP forces publishers and ad networks fall into line, by enforcing limits on floating ads, popover, interstitials, custom JS, etc. Is this self-interested on Google's part? Maybe. But it's hard to argue that it's not ultimately better for the consumer.
Well if you happen to be in Toronto or San Fransisco let me know via email. I'm happy to go for a coffee or beer with someone knew to a city. I'm usually in TO, but I'm in SF once every month and a half for work.

Best of luck.
In Org-Mode you have a separate syntax for footnotes, for properties(`#+FOO`), for heading properties(`:FOO:`), for results of code executions, for time tracking, and so on.
You could express all those metadata in one consistent notation, as an example JSON which would also be more compact and not as clunky.

Hyperlinks and text styling can still be done with the usual methods, though I don't quite like how in md/org I constantly forget where the label and the url goes in the hyperlink syntax. Also some of the text styling could use slight modifications to reduce the need for escaping.

I'm not saying Org-Mode lacks major features or anything, I'm just the kinda guy who likes to tinker and experiment with new ideas.
There is nothing to suggest that the sort of disorder DeBoer has was not present in the past. The consequences would harsher on everyone and there would be no meds.

Better C would be Zig.
I love deBoers writing when it's about _something_, but the navel-gazing gets old really quick. Yikes!

If he truly feels sorry, he just needs to move on. He seems to understand what he did was foul. Well then, move forward, be a good man to all the new people in your life. Instead, he craves absolution (and, reading between the lines, acceptance). No human being can be cajoled into extending that. It's truly foolish to expect people can be argued into extending that.

In fact, what he really needs to do, is that he himself needs to forgive the people being mean to him, who have rejected him. When he can do that, only then he can free himself from this burden.

Good luck Freddie!
There's zero backdooring involved anywhere in this article. His most convincing argument seems to be "if your account as a package maintainer is hijacked then bad things could happen" -- well yeah, thanks for the insight Sherlock.

I'd be genuinely excited to read objective and deeper analyses of the Rust ecosystem in which I am looking to invest myself further. I want to know what exactly I am getting involved with so I'd welcome any good criticisms of it.

But not click-baity articles with almost zero substance inside. He's basically repeating old lists of risks of human error.
I got locked into a reseller agreement with JustHost for my wife's GSuite account, which she uses for her full-time work. Now I'm paying them $90 a year just so I can retain my GSuite services without her having any downtime or losing her data.

Only recently did I discover GSuite has an FAQ for getting out of reseller agreements. Going to have to act on that.

I'm not sure this is as universally true as you think it is
lmao, This is great.
Thank you! Actually, my understanding when I started this project was that I would get a 640 x 480 image (IMX516 sensor). However, I could only get a 320 x 240 image from the sensor through the Android API, so that was a bit of an oddity.
You would use the traits from embedded-hal to write e.g. a driver for some IC or when implementing functionality in a device agnostic way and then use (or write) a specific HAL driver implementing these
It's likely to be a combination of several things. Npm is trendy and has a low threshold for getting started, plus the fact that adding eg. bitcoin miners to a website is a nice way to decentralize and ramp up mining capacity.

Maven on the other hand define several requirements, such as all files in a package being signed, more metadata and they also provide free tools the developers can use to improve the quality of a package.

actually accenture's biggest partner is not microsoft, it's money. really, they would sell their employees souls for money.
He's kind of an unusual case. I'd normally think of him as yet another sports star with an opinion, but because of the way the Cold War worked, he has political importance/baggage that somebody like Joe Montana or Fernando Valenzuela doesn't have.

I see this as a sign that we are getting ready to collapse as it reminds me of the way the borderline finance scams are being sold to elderly -

- "we are not here to sell you financial products -- that's evil and it just enriches the brokers, we are here to educate you on stuff that we happen so have a partners that sell. And if you know of other products that could be sold to people like you, tell them about our program."
Right, but consider a punctured gas tank vs... well, have you played "spot the COPVs in the SpaceX explosion"? They spit fire and zoom around like party balloons. Good fun from a distance, but if I had to pick one to ride with every day, it's an easy choice in favor of the gas tank.
It's fun to try to keep track of the SSL implementations distributions use/allow over time.

Void, for example, started on OpenSSL, moved to LibreSSL, and then moved back [1].

Gentoo has always been OpenSSL by default, had serious motion towards enabling LibreSSL as a first class citizen, and then backed out of that effort [2].

And now Alpine is looking at their second switch from OpenSSL to LibreSSL.

I'm a little bit amazed this hasn't caused even more stress than it has for cases like building V8/Chromium; this back and forth stuff is going to get hard to keep track of (for application developers, at least).

Another option is reducing number of dependencies. Doesn't cure the problem but can cut the vulnerability surface by orders of magnitude.

Transitive dependencies can, and frequently do result in The majority of the code in an application being unneeded.

Using one function from a dependency can result in whole sets of libraries or even whole languages being included in the project.
Sure, but none of this must have a fundamental explanation. It could just be the way the universe is, nothing in maths requires this 'problem' to have a solution.

Conversely, things like the measurement problem, quantum gravity, dark matter, dark energy, the mass of neutrinos and others must have some answer - they are facts we can see that just don't mesh with current theories.

So why study a problem that there is no reason to believe will have an ultimate answer, when you can study problems that must have such an answer?

That’s a very fair point. And I don’t like hearing it either from reps or companies that don’t truly value my business or treat me as I’d treat others.

On the other side, I do believe in a world where you can still charge someone $$ and the relationship is built in a way where 1+1 = > 3.

I’ve personally told potential buyers that we’re not a fit for them even though I know I could close the deal. I’ve had others do the same thing for me and point me to a competitor.

That’s what we mean by partnership vs vendorship. It’s about being a partner regardless of the outcome and focusing on adding value over just closing another deal. I’m not saying this is the world we live in today but one I’m passionate about driving towards.
I am speaking completely out of ignorance on this, so someone with a bit more familiarity with both physics and chemistry might be able to clarify.

From what I understand, one of the biggest issues with trying to replace commercial cross-country jets [1] with electric alternatives is due to the fact that there isn't enough energy density in a battery to make that possible, and as a result, airplanes are a huge polluter towards climate change.

Would it make more sense to try and make hydrogen jets, at least if we can make the hydrogen relatively efficiently?

[1] I know jets really only make sense with fuel, replace "jet" with "big airplane"
Type state programming with embedded Rust has stopped me from a number of bugs so far. The important thing for me is that these bugs were caught at compile time which makes a world of difference in terms of productivity. The biggest pain point is how different the libraries for different microcontrollers are. I feel over time they will converge as things stabilize, time will tell.
I don't think the platform will decline. I do think a lot of critics don't realize what youtube considers itself. It's not a video hosting platform. It's a Netflix and Cable TV competitor. It's Via Play - a collection of channels and programs.

YouTube doesn't consider itself the home of your homevideos. It's the home of "content creators" - indie TV programs. The whole "upload your video from your Zoo trip" is just their gateway for getting potential creators feet wet.
This is also why I always complained that no-root-by-default is not particularly advantageous for Linux way-back-when: basically, stuff I care about is in my $HOME.

Main driver to want a Free Software system for public institutions is that it's a Free Software system, allowing for local companies to participate in development and fairly compete to only add on to the software, avoiding the entire provider lock-in.
content aside, this title is a bit of a new low for me from arstechnica. author probably fed the clickbait title of "You won't believe this amazing trick..." into quillbot and just called it a day. Man I remember when jon stokes was around or maybe I was younger, arstechnica felt so serious?
"The only way is up" is a bad argument for trying to predict interest rates. There are other ways. First, no change. Second, negative. People have been making the "they have to go up eventually!" argument so long now that I'm starting to think that no, they don't have to.

How do you publish to a specific environment using wrangler. I have been experimenting with it and I can't figure out how to only publish to my "development" environment.
CAD is really emblematic of the tragedy of closed-source. The few times I've used it, it's been obvious that the solidworks constraint solver is amazing, but the interface you use to work with it is a kind of horrible design-by-committee abomination. In the open-source world, solvespace has a way less good (fast/robust) constraint solver, but the interface is obviously made with care and love.

It feels like a lot of closed-source software is like that. They have a few core components that are simply gorgeous, then over them, they just tack an inordinate amount of trash.

Stuff like geometry libraries, math libraries, etc are just so universally applicable that it makes sense to treat them like infrastructure. Treating them like secret sauce is such a waste.
