Thanks for pointing this out.

Admittedly a lot of pointers like this are missing in the README, because there's just a lot about Color Theory and generally the science behind color, than what my documentation has space for.

Can you recommend a link to a nice website where users can learn more about things like this? I would like to add that link to the README.

I appreciate your insights.
I agree. Most of the world's population don't live there though.
In my experience companies offer may offer sabbaticals, HR may promote them, the documentation may be shiny; but it is career suicide for anoyone who hasnt already made it to the top.
The three hypotheses you expressed are false.
Tangent: anyone else confused by that title? Of course it "almost never" happened, mathematically speaking, if we assume time is infinite, because almost everywhere in time it wasn't happening except for this brief moment in the 1970s.
> In the last one, I asked for three examples in a short answer problem...and gave one of them as a 'for example'. less than 10% of people used that. More than 10% told me they thought it was a trick.

What did you expect? To me, it would be painfully obvious that the already given example is void and no longer up for grabs. I would never construct such an exam question. Dangerous slope, but in this case obvious.
BiglyBT is the new name for Azureus. It’s older than qBittorrent and Transmission. The reason people use it over those alternatives is that those alternatives didn’t even exist when they started using it, and they haven’t offered any features since to make switching worthwhile.

This is so subjective. I’ve seen people jerk themselves silly over Heart of Darkness and it is so ordinary. It is the epitome of “tell, don’t show”. I can’t believe something so mediocre is considered a classic.

My thoughts: Linus's conduct isn't great, people who make a huge fuss about it often need to touch grass.

I pay actual money every month to organizations that could be described as part of the woke-conspiracy, I believe in them, but some parts of this culture are simply ridiculous. They mean well but all this analyzing/micro-aggression crap is a coping mechanism that I can only feel leads to a weak mind.

I remember asking someone, from a position of genuine curiousity (albeit slightly morbid because I was surprised and felt it was subtly quite misandrist), why they felt having any men in an event for women to write code in made her feel threatened, and I got insta-talked-down-to by a moderator. This was at a university, they build these environments to try and help, but they end up separating people from arguments/other culture which I think just makes people lazy, dumb, and arrogant. I'm not in the "burn the whole rotten system down" camp, but it was eye-opening.
Yeah, DO is great for personal projects but once business is involved I would migrate very quickly. I've had LBs run by them touched by mild DDOS activity and in response DO would simply turn off the LB in question - doing the attacker's job better than they ever could! And then good luck getting hold of support to, you know, turn it back on please.

I couldn't recommend them for any real business. Great to start with maybe, but make sure you have an exit plan.
"It depends".

Like so many things there's no hard and fast rule here. Sometimes you are best being dispensable, and sometimes it's best being indispensable.

If you're a contractor and like the work... be indispensable as it will give you more power over your rates.

If you're 12-18 months from an IPO... be indispensable as it will ensure the golden handcuff stock option / RSU shower that touches the top ~10% of engineering is extremely favourable to you.

But otherwise, there's nearly always more value to you in being someone who is dispensable. You get more freedom and support to move roles, try different things, less lock-in to a specific team, role or part of an org. Your skills are likely more transferable to other places, etc.

"It depends" is nearly always the dull answer, and the parameters for that are always specific to your circumstances.
As a seattlite, darkness in the winter definitely effects me. This is why I’d rather have the extra hours of daylight when I’m awake, since it increases the chance of hitting a few hours of light without rain/overcast skies.

Ask HN: Has anybody used “Platform Ops” successfully?
The DevOps "guru" at the bank I work for (hence big and slow organization, although we are not that bad compared to other Swedish banks) comes up with bright and shining ideas every once in a while. Our biggest challenge is scaling DevSecOps and Agile, we tried SAFe and then an internal toned down version of it. Many teams got DevSecOps education and many are moving in the right way but probably not fast enough and without uniform direction.

This guy's latest initiative is "Ops as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (Platform)" or alternatively "SRE Team (Google Model)" [1] also known as Platform Ops. Usually most of his claims are ending with "and Gartner recommends that" without any evidence or meaningful explanations.

The way I see Platform Ops is "In short, let’s not get hung up on creating a ‘culture of DevOps’, but instead focus on targeting and improving capabilities that allow us to deliver code to production faster and more reliably. More importantly, let’s provide value to the firm’s profits, productivity and customer satisfaction." [2] which I think is totally wrong for the long run, it practically means ditching the DevOps culture and focusing only on the technicalities- upper management might see an immediate value but it will probably fade out and we will soon be back in the non Agile, non DevOps world.

What do you think?

The syntax isn't the only driver of language popularity. Ecosystem/ tooling/ major sponsors/ large precedent projects etc all enhance a languages adoptability and big shops want to pick a language with a low risk and large supply of coders.

That's a bit of a slippery slope with the username. I thought it meant "Research In Motion The Kid".

What if I made a username based on a tradition like in my city (Sächsilüüte) where we burn a snowman named Böög made out of paper and explosives. Let's say I use "burntheböög". Turns out in Swedish, Böög is a derogatory term for gay, so how do you deal with that?

Or even more nuanced. In England cigarettes are often called "Fags". So In England it would be ok to have username "ismokefags" which in the US this would be considered highly offensive.
You did ignore that though! You said it was all baseless and there was no single example of it happening. The reason pornhub did a 180° so quickly is because they also realized their moderation system was trash and full of holes. I don't disagree that they shouldn't be closed either, but the porn websites basically have had 0 oversight for the past 2 decades. The potential for abuse is so high, even if we assume there was none yet.

By the way I'm not American, but please it's hilarious to see europeans giving lessons about transgender rights, homophobia or racism. Let's ignore the fact that in most of Europe, trans people have way less rights/recognition, there are still debates around gay marriage and gay adoption, abortion laws are usually more draconian than even in Texas & the German state literally has a religious tax. Racism is also so ingrained that you get countries like France with 20-40% voting for a literal neo nazi party for decades now, and hatred against Roma peoples is so accepted and "natural" that it's basically a national sport.

The only difference is that in the US, there's actually a public debate around those issues, while in Europe it's much more accepted. So while I don't want to bash on europe your last paragraph does not reflect reality.
Fair point

Though I suspect still quicker to convert to unbiased coin toss and use those as the bits of a number in the desired range than to wait for a permutation of 123456
Not all gliding operations use tows. Winches are also an option. They're cheaper too but they are more limited in launch altitude.

There's other more dangerous things about gliding too, like the way gliders tend to bunch together circling to take advantage of thermals and get close to mountains to enjoy the updrafts there. So mid air collisions and controlled flight into terrain are more common.

But overall I'm pretty sure it's still a safer sport. But I have to admit I don't have stats either.

Projects have culture as well as technology. Sometimes you do need to keep an eye on the former.

In this case I don't know enough about Debian to say, but the idea that "politics" is by definition irrelevant to software projects by virtue of ignoring this cultural/human aspect is why people don't like nerds (which I do think is a very hurtful stereotype mostly peddled by jealous/confused morons, but it's not always wrong)
the post reminds me of the "microservices are great" articles from years ago.
In the scenario you describe, the response of the author still applies. It may frustrate you, but that doesn't change the reality.

That's not exactly right.

A library itself decides if it is relocatable or fixed. If it is fixed the MH_DYLIB records its install name as /path/to/binary (generally by setting DYLIB_INSTALL_NAME_BASE so xcodebuild will merge that with the library name automatically). The binary must be at that path. However this can (and often is) a symlink just like other systems use where /usr/lib/somelib.dylib -> /usr/lib/somelib.1.3.dylib so that minor version updates can be made without rebuilding programs.

If a library wants to be relocatable it specifies an install name of @rpath/binary.

At runtime dyld creates a "run path list". Every time it encounters a load command with an @rpath name it tries substituting paths from the run path list until it finds the library. The main binary along with any dependencies can add entries to the run path list. These can be absolute paths or relative paths anchored from @executable_path or @loader_path. The former being the main binary and the latter being the path to the binary itself (eg if the main app loads a plugin the plugin can reference dependencies relative to the main app or itself as needed).

You can push your own paths in the mix with DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (searched first) or DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH (searched last). Check "man dyld" and "man ld" if you want more details.

None of the above requires modifying binaries and so doesn't invalidate code signatures. If you want to use install_name_tool on binaries you build pass "-headerpad_max_install_names" to ld so it will pad out the load commands which makes it easier to edit them.

There have been a bunch of security vulnerabilities around the Windows strategy of auto-loading any dependency from the same directory as the binary so YMMV.
Learned something new here thanks!

So... I read Hofstadter on video feedback systems, and I experimented with IFS-style fractals in software. I never connected the two until I saw this machine in action!

Fantastic piece of art. I love how it makes the process of iteratively drawing things => fractals into a physical, tangible thing.
On the contrary, Norway, as most Scandinavians, are above the EU average on chronic depression.

But Portugal, a sun-rich country which sits East of its timezone, gets the top spot. So, go figure.

Shared libraries mean that when there's a security issue, I can update the system's version of the library, restart all programs that use it, and have a fully patched system. If everything is statically linked, I would instead need to identify the library version in use for every binary, then get a patched version of each.

Dynamic linking is a tool to improve system administration.

Same: I really struggle in winter and the biggest factor, by far, is that it gets dark so early.

It makes many assumptions on the reasons for war which have nothing to do with Putin's actual praxis. Putin has declared that Ukraine's creation was a mistake. A celebratory letter was accidentally published hailing the creation of a new united Russia.

NATO complaints are the fig leaf by which claims to intellectual honesty hide. It's unfortunate to see these claims repeated here.

Russia invaded once in 2014 and took Crimea, now it wants Belarus-style buffer states, at a minimum.

The best thing the West can do is continue to maximize its claims: that geopolitical borders are no longer determined by invasion and that a reversion to the "Old Ways" is punishable in the extreme. Anything else enables venturism (venturism that results in tens of thousands of lives lost) among other actors who have long coveted the borders of their neighbors.

NATO isn't invading anyone. States clamor to its safety because of bully states like Russia. Any credible threat to Russia's safety by a united NATO is self-created.
Yeah, but in winter I get up when it's dark and it's dark again by the time I leave work. It's extremely depressing. At least with perma-DST (or BST as it would be here) I'd have some chance of a bit of daylight at the end of the day.

I know various people who work in shifts. It's really bad for your rhythm. It takes months before people find a way to deal with the effects. It's worth it due to the additional money they earn, that's it.
Early on, I did some infrastructure thing that caused me to become indispensable.
My motivation for doing that was not to become indispensable, but to have some infrastructure that allowed me to a. make my own life easier, b. make others lives easier and c. show my new org that I was not entirely useless.
After a while, I was moving on, I didn't want to maintain this thing anymore, it clearly did what I set out for it to do, and I grew less accommodating and started pushing back when people wanted more features.

I was able to hand it off to "nobody in particular" and explain that yes, I build the thing to solve X and it does that fine, if it can incidentally be used to also solve Y, it's great but not something I want to know about. By slowly being more resistant to changing the thing FOR people, telling them to try to do it themselves, and less inclined to answer questions, and more inclined to ask them what they tried and suggest what they may investigate next to find an answer, people have stopped asking so often, and I no longer consider myself indispensable. I know they will have a hard time doing some changes if I'm not around, but not impossible, and if one day I leave, enough other people have touched the stuff that, even if it "was mine" it's now "ours".

The strategic minus for me is of course that I'm not indispensable, but on the positive side, I can now actually do my job instead of babysitting my skunk-works projects.
Corp I worked at would not raise their pay and a huge number of people just left. People with 20 years at the company. It was funny on LinkedIn you'd see people with a photo of their badge and one of the buildings in the background ex-employees "celebrates" this. The corp is in talks of getting acquired now.
Has your lifestyle actually expanded to consume 300k/year? If so, what is your lifestyle like?

Maybe you could work 1 more year, living off of 50k post taxes (which is already considerably more than most in the US make post-tax) and save the difference. Then, you can quit being confident that you can control your spending enough to take a job with merely good as opposed to extravagant compensation!
The meaning is that permanent standard time is preferable to permanent DST, because it's more important during winter: during summer you get plenty of sunlight no matter what you have on the clock. That is, if we optimize for health instead of shopping.
Any plans for web & webxr playback?

Do you have encumbering patents for depth+colour video playback?
Why not give away the player to aid/standardise adoption of the format?

A lot of people are using this format (including myself [0]) and it seems nobody is really pushing a standard/shared player for web, unity, unreal, etc still; it feels to me we could all move along a bit faster bu charging for capture and freeing playback.

what we know is the countries which agreed to be Nazi states (Slovakia for instance) were pretty much unaffected by war until the very end (if they switched sides) and more people died during fights with allies/germans in last few months than during years of war

for instance there were pretty much no victims in my hometown from Nazis, while Allied bombing at the very end of war killed 1/3 of civilian population of my hometown, but s*t happens, right?

meanwhile "losing" Nazi countries like Germany, Austria or Italy were doing better already few years after war than most of the "winners", so who was in the end winner and loser of WW2?
This is mostly high schools. School buses take two or three rounds in delivering kids to school, starting with high schoolers, then middle schoolers, then elementary schoolers. There is all sorts of variation to be had. Middle schoolers in my neighborhood seem to start school at 9AM or at least after 8:30.

I agree with FSF and OSI respective definitions of free software and open source.

I also agree with their interpretation of BSD licenses and recognition as free software and open source respectively.

The OSI (and FSF) aren't the "ultimate moral arbiters of all that is good and right in the world". They do, however, represent me, and you'll find, a majority of people who care about free and open source software.

You're, of course, free to advocate whatever you want. I would suggest directing your efforts at convincing OSI/GNU/FSF to adopt your interpretation, where BSD runs counter to the four freedoms and reclassify BSD licenses as a start.

Should that fail, you can consider starting some sort of alternative such organization. If your views are indeed shared with many, there's a good chance it can gain traction. But only if that's the case.

As this is straying far into offtopic for the associated story, my end will not post further replies on this thread. I kindly request the same from yours.

There's also a difference for transitive dependencies. From the Linux manpage for ld.so, about RUNPATH:

> Such directories are searched only to find those objects required by DT_NEEDED (direct dependencies) entries and do not apply to those objects' children, which must themselves have their own DT_RUNPATH entries. This is unlike DT_RPATH, which is applied to searches for all children in the dependency tree.
