Hello there!

I created GitHub Trends for developers to discover and share code contribution insights. Inspired by Spotify Wrapped, GitHub Trends has a "wrapped" feature that allows users to look back on a year of development and growth. See your repositories and languages sorted by lines of code, your activity grouped by time and day, and more!

Try it out at https://www.githubtrends.io/wrapped

GitHub Trends is live on ProductHunt today, and I would be so thankful if you could help raise engagement and spread the word. Any upvotes or comments would be greatly appreciated!

Every time I'm doing a lift and shift, I'm glad I don't have to move an OS around on different chip architectures, maintaining performance speed. PowerPc to Intel, and now Intel to Arm. That's nuts.

What if the world is not wrong at all? What if we're failing? That's how humanity learns, by failing. Sometimes by failing big time.
I think it's human nature to resist change for the large part, except for when the benefits of changing clearly outweigh the benefits of not changing. If that's true, then a large failure in any context is the breeding ground for change.
There is some self-limiting, but this limit is way above 1x/2x/3x ICU capacity currently.
month-by-month doesn't make sense because the flu doesn't happen at the same month each year, and yes without at least also the standard deviation, it doesn't say anything.

Just seeing that the temperature is below average outside doesn't say anything about the question: do we have abnormal weather? Is there a crisis? And even if this years winter is colder than the last three years, still doesn't mean that it's abnormal.

It needs to be a statistical outlier to be abnormal, it needs to be statistically significant. Why are they not showing previous years? Why are sample sizes deliberately small when we have more data? Why don't we see basic required numbers such as standard deviation, median, percentiles? It's all clickbait bullshit
You're overthinking it, and Code Pipeline is just one example. As I'm writing this they have close to 300 services!!! Many of them, maybe hundreds of them just straight up lose money.

The Corey Quinn number I keep quoting is that >60% of AWS revenue for large (>100MM) accounts is EC2. That jives with what I hear from people in the industry.

That means that the other 250+ services are splitting less than 40% of AWS revenue....
It does not mean you never can start something again! I am definitely gonna keep trying ... my thinking was only: I need to get more into a startup scene and Berlin should be a great choice for this.

Good luck with your search!

I think we'll eventually get there. Simply because the M1 macs will upsize the pool of people working on it.
If crossing the street when the walk signal isn’t showing but there are no cars for miles makes me a criminal, so be it.

I expect anyone who rationally believes that this opens up a whole slew of dangers on the road, from security concerns to self-incrimination to, quite simply, bugs would be the ones to use pre-kill switch vehicles.

"War" is a pretty strong terminology for the civil discourse currently happening.
Xaml != WPF. In Xamarin Forms land that property is a bool. We have `bool IsVisible`.

The problem is the design, and that will change over time as the various flavours of Xaml are supposedly on a path to converge.
Agreed. I've been writing Go since like 2011 and even when I started there was plenty of emphasis on channels as just one of the options along with mutexes and a sense that channels were easier to make correct, but mutexes were easier to make efficient. If someone else got the impression that channels were pushed exclusively, I guess they were watching different talks and reading different documentation than I was.

> Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and China showed that it is possible.

No, they just moved themselves into a corner that they will be trapped in for the next 10 to 20 years.
The clearly defined goal is to reduce the number of deaths and avoid exhausting hospital capacity.

Vaccines are helping with that.
Put another way, you have so little faith in the efficacy of the vaccine's ability to protect you from the effects of covid that you want others to take that same vaccine just so that you can feel a little better about your odds. And the other side is the selfish one. That sum it up?
Any chance to ensure a car which "implemented the option" cannot ever be connected?

Or will we be stuck with buying old cars?

(Of course the idea of an internet connected car is part of the absolute dystopia.)
I was, but mostly through XLA or Vulkan layers. Also, I’d define workable as a pretty low bar.
Or better yet, "We're here to make money first, and if we can make the world better in the process, then that's even better". I'm sure this mindset is what most of the "missions" come down to anyway, if at all.
Dunno if I agree. It's like being in the stock market. Talk is cheap and so actions carry way more signal.

It's a stronger statement to be vacccinated than to argue online for vaccinations.

And it's a stronger statement to not be vaccinated than to argue online against vaccinations.
Product idea: Volume-leveling headphones. They bring the explosions down to a tolerable volume and boost the whispers to an audible level. They have external microphones for use in the cinema, BlueTooth for your phone, and a wire for low-latency on video calls.
Assuming you’re in Germany, you’re governed by people which managed to screw up every single aspect of handling this pandemic. From masks don’t work, to masks availability in healthcare, vaccine availability, to booster availability to making tests fee-based and much much more.

The health minister was throttling Biontech/Pfizer deliveries just as demand started to go up for crying out loud!

It could always be worse, but I’m not at all surprised about lack of trust in the government.

You will spend years in lockdowns because that’s the only thing they’re capable of. See Portugal or Denmark for the vaccination happy case. Better than Germany but nowhere near life-as-usual.

Finally, if half the population doesn’t value all those things… Germany is proper fucked. You're exaggerating by a lot, which tells me you don’t value science and rationality.

It’s really unfortunate because MADD has otherwise produced good-for-the-country-and-its-citizens results, but then they go and do shit like this and make it so so hard to support them.
Great. If you want to take that risk, self infect and isolate. You have no right to make this choice for others by willingly being a host that can infect others.
It's not straight open source. It's open source with stakeholders. For example if Signal was operated by a DAO, thet would have never added the crypto payments because that's something seemingly everyone except the founders disagreed with.

It gives stakeholders (dao participants, aka users that are more involved), a say in the direction of the project.

Yes, this is why subsidiaries in the private sector are useful - when something goes terribly wrong with one, like it did with NSO, it doesn't implicate the whole of Israel/IDF - at least not explicitly.
Yes, this feature.
As someone who has only experience with vim and not Emacs, are there any advantages to Emacs or is it just „different“?
I wonder if this would be useful for self-driving cars.
Or American skiddies. Honestly, it isn’t going to take a nation-state to wreak havoc with this.
It is secure boot specific which I believe is a in theory working but in reality a broken mechanism because of certificate logistics. We could also call it Microsoft Boot at this point. Sure, it will work better in Windows, but it comes at a hidden price.

Also, this won't give you too many benefits aside from convenience to skip one password entry, while any Saas will at some point leverage it against you if it every gets popular. That is basically the gist of secure boot or trusted platform in general right now.

Smartphones are trusted platforms and their software landscape is atrocious and predatory. Trusted platforming would move it in exactly the same direction.

Meanwhile boot viruses have become quite rare, because phishing and extortion is much more profitable.
That should be possible if you use a web server like Apache as main application and then link the module that your scripting language requires. Not sure whether NanoVMs already support it though.
classic symptom of doublethink - holding contradictory beliefs whenever they suit you without regard for self-consistency
It is not completely fucked. You can only reliably retain that which you can defend. Fighting demands discipline and extremes of performance. Martial arts and dance play similar roles for children for good reason.
Healthy Eating Habits – Approved by Experts

That is awesome. I ran the abstract of something I am writing for our marketing peeps and got:

Bullshit Index :0.47
Something's getting a bit fishy. You probably want to sell something, or you're trying to impress somebody. It still may be an acceptable result for a scientific text.

i.e. it's assessment was pretty much exact.
I meant this part:

> The agents believed they’d seized the majority of the obviously illicit items. So they dismantled their village, took down their tents, and packed up.

They even took the items with Miller's consent. You seem to be saying FBI took too much, which is a bit baffling to me. Seems to me the whole collection should've been seized, but I guess it wasn't worth the effort as nobody was interested in prosecuting and even museums didn't want the stolen hoard.

Passports and photos were taken as evidence of the crimes, right?

Apparently he also committed extensive tax fraud with claiming his trips as travel expenses, but those crimes were surely expired already.
They would still need a source of pure nitrogen. That's not different from the Haber-Bosch process though, so that technically cancels out for comparison of the processes. It does add an extra requirements for small scale on-site production of ammonia as proposed in the article though.

Depends. Apple does not sell chips. Apple sells a vertically integrated platform that has many components from cloud services to physical devices. The price of one component in the physical device is not that important.

That's what I found too, in Firefox. I then switched to Safari and it was buttery smooth everywhere (MBP 16", not M1). Haven't tried in Chrome yet. I wonder why the performance varies so wildly...
For comparison, here’s what the EU requires in 2022 (https://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/automotive-industry/safe... and, from there, https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/documents/34588):

- Drowsiness and attention detection (cars, vans, trucks, buses)

- Distraction recognition / prevention (cars, vans, trucks, buses)

Doesn’t seem to require remote intervention capability, but distraction prevention seems to require a kill switch.

Of course, required features such as “advanced emergency braking” can be seen as kill switches, as they would prevent you from driving your own car into the wall of your own house.
Yeah a work colleague had his car stolen and his door cam recorded the thieves kind of waving a laptop about in front of it. I guess the antenna they use is highly directional so you have to get it just right to trigger.

The apple watch unlock feature in recent macOs versions apparently avoids this relay attack by using a high-precision timer so they know (given the speed of light) that the watch is very close and the signal could not be relayed from a watch that's further away by a mitm (because the timestamp would be too old). I guess car keyfobs don't do this kind of thing because the electronics are intentionally quite primitive to avoid excessive battery drain.
Yeah, he's on some kind of messed up head trip, that's for sure. Osaka here.
Accurat raises 1.1 mio in its first capital round
Difficulties are there to suggest that we must fight to shape our own life the way we want, which is a valuable lesson itself. If uni is not working for you right now because the context is boring, find a sustainable way to transfer to a different, more lively uni without sacrificing your elected STEM degree? On the contrary, a gap year would be a radical turn, and nobody can honestly tell how and where you will be at the end of 2022. Good luck!
dbt is the quickest way to watch your cloud costs skyrocket.

I really do hope people don’t think this is a way to not have dedicated data engineers on staff and instead “empower” analysts to do things for themselves.
To the Israeli trolls - downvote me all you want and keep supporting a genocidal state.
More importantly, your car isn’t disabled if you don’t put your seatbelt on. You’ll be ticketed heavily if caught (outside NH, anyway), but your car will still start and run, which is useful in, say, an emergency.
It can be the other way round. It's been interesting watching Ecologi grow exactly this way. They want to plant trees and do what they can to right the world, and the best path they see to do that is to make use of VC to get there.
It's not a new idea but it's an evolution on that (a flexible collection of the items you listed in one). DAOs are a great organizational and (depending on the implementation) a funding tool.

For a particular example, open source projects typically have funding issues and users typically want new features. This is a great way to get funding while also giving users the ability to vote on new features priorities, etc.
So without getting into the weeds of it, I don’t think these offer as much protection as just staying away from people, not going to restaurants, cinemas etc. You’re also risking drawing more resources out of hospitals. UK has free general healthcare, but eg a health insurer would charge you more if you’re a smoker.

While I sympathise with people who refuse vaccines on grounds of free choice, the question stands: what are you doing instead to protect me?
> tables with multiline text in the cells

Does mediawiki have calculated tables, tags, executable source blocks though?

And, most importantly, just how suitable is it as plaintext, org's killer feature? Cause this doesn't look all that suitable to me: '''''bold & italic'''''.
I consider this to be the movie version of an AAA game developed for PC, but where all configurable settings have been disabled.

All the time in the production has been spent on the game, but for some reason they couldn't be bothered to implement the first basic thing that the player is going to want to change, settings/keybindings etc.

Perhaps it is a case of the producer having lost touch with what the consumer experience is?
I treat the stars as bookmarks. I never star a project, I just Google for it if it becomes relevant.

> without having to care about trying to do complicated things ([...] pci-passthrough of a second GPU)

Actually, GPU passthrough is quite simple: configure host Linux to assign a virtual driver to a secondary GPU on boot and configure QEMU to use that driver on guest boot[1]. If you buy a GPU that is natively supported by macOS (e.g., Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Pulse 4GB), you get 99% performance and 100% stability of a native Mac (not a single macOS/QEMU crash in years for me).

Moreover, if you configure your QEMU mouse/keyboard to use evdev[2] (event devices), you can game under macOS/QEMU or Windows/QEMU without any input lag.

Sure, have you actually used one? There some challenges with the software support of RPIs especially model 4 and GPU drivers. I would like to see a platform (potentially RISCV) that has great software support and I could finally use one of these devices as a replacement for TV set top boxes running Android.
Unfortunately the situation is bit complex for Ludwig Wittgenstein (who died in 1951 and whose works should enter the public domain in countries with death + 70 years copyright).

Wittgenstein only published the Tractatus during his lifetime (which will enter the public domain), but all of his later works were compiled and published posthumously (as the "Nachlass") by his literary executors, most importantly the Philosophical Investigations. At the moment, Trinity College Cambridge hold the copyright to most of the Nachlass and they have more or less publicly said that they do not consider the Nachlass to go out of copyright in 2022, as there seems to be an obscure exception in British copyright for posthumously published manuscripts that would extend the copyright duration to 2039 [0].

Of course British copyright law does not directly apply to the rest of the world, but I sadly do not expect to see many public domain editions from academics in the coming years, since most of them want to stay on good terms with Trinity College. Others would perhaps like to publish an edition, but are unsure about the copyright situation.

Are there any non-profit organisations that provide legal clarification in these rather complicated situations for individuals that want to publish new editions of these works? IANAL, so I would be reluctant to sink too much time into such a project if there is the chance that I might be sued into oblivion by Cambridge.

I feel handling Promises in JavaScript is not nice with `then/catch`. It gets messy when there are multiple promises (I often use `async/await` and wrap in a huge `try/catch` block in this case), or there is a huge chunk of code in the resolve function

I notice how Golang handle errors. The error is returned in the same line of code. We handle it, then move on to the next problem. That makes the code easier to read and is more convenient to handle error.

So I make this tiny `go-promise` util library to handle promise better in JavaScript. Feedback are welcome!

The term tabloid has a literal meaning besides the pejorative meaning. The format of Yedioth is tabloid, not broadsheet.

I am generally against dystopian ideas like "predictive policing", and I used to like Doctorow very much. I vividly remember being inspired by Little Brother. Also, of course he is right in saying that crime data is not completely objective.

But TBH, the article itself is also guilty of confirmation bias. It is full of "everybody knows" [1] kind of arguments and exaggerations. "Driving while brown" isn't really a "de facto crime" in any reasonable sense.

The analysis of leak by The Markup he endorses doesn't look very objective either. The fact that the Predpol's algorithm suggests that the police should patrol the more dangerous neighbourhoods isn't really a good argument for showing that it is racially biased. At the very least, they should try to control for other factors somehow (e.g. by comparing poor neighbourhoods with different racial compositions).

There is indeed "a pool of mathematicians who can produce convincing confirmation bias as a service", as Doctorow says, but their prejudices are not mostly in the category and direction he suggests. [2]

Hierarchical Tree Form Data in .NET C#
No, it is just part of the regular instruction decoding. It is not like it is zip compressed. It is just 400 logic gates added to the decoder… which is nothing.
As someone who's also worked in Israel and worked with the tech scene there firsthand too I dispute this quite strongly. Israel has mandatory conscription that is rather difficult to get out of, and given their precarious situation in the Middle East I'm not entirely sure I'd blame them. As a result, the entire country spends their lives between the ages of 18-20 working in the military in some capacity, meaning that you can very easily make a case of 'military links' for any industry. The milk you drink from your hotel in Tel Aviv? Owned by a former IDF commando and run by employees who almost entirely all served in the IDF. Tech is no exception, and to just say that because there are IDF graduates who staff the myriad companies in the tech industry so now it's somehow 'controlled by the IDF' is utterly preposterous. Is Tnuva suddenly an IDF controlled subsidiary? If I buy milk from Tnuva, am I suddenly now supporting the IDF and the government?

Your assertion that the IDF, Israeli government, and cybersecurity industry are effectively one unit is also bizarre to say the least, considering that they're entirely private companies who refuse to take orders from the government and have raised a stink about attempts to do so on more than one occasion. Your comment becomes more and more laughable when you assert that these companies are 'essentially subsidiaries' of the IDF. Please, you're fooling nobody. The issue here is about control - whether these companies advance Israeli foreign policy goals at the explicit direction of the government. Yet even a quick look at the clients of many of these groups shows this to be not the case.
I feel this still could be better implemented with stripe + database .
It would be better to set the data anyway, and let the code that shows the emojis determine whether to skip the emoji or not.
