Mmmhmmm.

Everyone says they hold Quality in high regard, but then when it comes time to do the work, everyone takes every escalation path to escape the QA group's mandate.

Everywhere I've been save a military shop, the political lip service is paid, but everyone by default works on getting an exec waiver on QA pushback rather than actually addressing fundamental Quality issues.

So while the advertisement in question is technically true, the way it shakes out in reality is you either have Quality valued as a political factor by those at the top, or your entire org is built like the Titanic with watertight compartments (effective Quality Controls) only up to C deck.

At that point it just takes one good iceberg of a client/feature/bad product (iceberg)... And we all know how that goes.
I have used the Stash bottle from Hydrapak [1] for a few years now, that one is the definition of light, and very versatile. The interesting thing is that the opening fits the filter by Katadin made for their BeFree bottles [2], so you could even take that on hikes where you are not entirely sure of the water quality (filters particles and bacteria, but not viruses). I actually carry and use this combo, not related to the companies.

Surprising there is no mention of the wasm/rust-implemented flash player https://ruffle.rs/ in the article.
I do too and have to remind myself to drink water otherwise I find myself in a lethargic state.
It makes sense when you realize that, just like a relationships or beginner workout forum, the people who stick around are the ones that have been least successful: if you've gotten a job, a relationship, or in shape, you're less likely to be in a forum dedicated to asking for advice.
I don't understand why well-heeled penny-pinching skinflints always think they have so much virtue to teach others.
How can an ISP be sure an end-to-end encrypted communication channel isn't being used for porn?

It is encrypted. By design they have no idea what it is being used for. It would be very easy to set up a ring of pornography distributors using email (at least in the UK, in civilised countries they'd probably be put out of business by the open internet).
You are completely right here. But the problem is that globalist elite that runs (rules?) USA has only own interests in mind, and they are achieved by using USA as a tool to achieve their own global dominance. They don’t care about USA or its citizens.

That’s why the best thing that can happen to this planet is a victory of a nationalist isolationist option on the next election.
Probably, yes.

And they added an incredibly dumb limitation: You cannot use any pen tablet (e.g. a wacom tablet) on Freeform for OS X. Drawing with a pen is only supported on iOS.
No you can't, because JetBrains refuses to have Clion plugins into InteliJ, it is the only Java IDE that doesn't support mixed language development.
> And I mean open source email server. Something like an alternative to an enhanced email server like ms exchange or even gmail.

Like I said, all of the other ones are open source.. There's dozens. This seems like you just don't know about them.
GitLab team member & PM for the Web IDE here! In our measurements the memory footprint was between 50-80% lower than the previous Web IDE. I'm not sure how it compares to other web-based instances of VS Code.
I think you need to look at the whole sentence:

> If it's your typical web app implementing some business requirements, then there's no deep work required - it's just talking to the requirements source and converting that into code, as per the chosen web framework.

The key phrase is typical web app. The sentence isn't saying that business requirements always generate shallow work. They're saying that working on a typical web app is almost entirely shallow work.

After doing research, just got a Yamaha P-515, & been happy with it. What are your requirements?
>My other suggestion is that to practise banking, one needs a license, which can be revoked.

You are ignorant of current regulation. While there is no paper license that you have to apply for in most cases there is tons of "if you do X you are a Y and must register yourself with some regulatory agency Z and follow our list of rules for your business to be lawful" which is functionally identical to a license.
I'm so offended by the capitalization in this (potentially interesting) article that I didn't get past the first two paragraphs.
Batteries: Deal on new EU rules for design, production and waste treatment
Wealth is not income - wealth is a stock, income is a flow. This is a really basic point, people really should educate themselves when thinking about this stuff. You don't need obscure sources, any textbook will do. Then you can learn about the shares of GNI.
>If they failed only because the tools weren't good enough

Anyone who claims that hasn't observed Soviet Union or Russia long enough. The failure was 99% due to "human element" not due to sophistication or not of some planning element.
No diet gets around hunger because the human body tracks how fat it is not just the contents of the digestive system.

Long term weight loss requires you to accept being hungry.
Thankfully Apple is working on that by pairing the parts to the motherboard and showing error messages if they don't match.
Nit: blocking EU citizens is not refusing to abide by the law. It’s one of several perfectly valid compliance approaches.
I like DK books. They are less dense (as reference) than textbook, and full of illustration.

It's the standard political science definition globally, originally from Max Weber (a founder of sociology) but obviously going back to Thomas Hobbes and John Locke (two of the founding theorists of liberalism.) Open any textbook or encyclopedia, even dictionary.
Yeah, you must be doing it wrong. :-)

The appetite-suppressant effect of nicotine is enhanced by caffeine (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15955118/)

Conclusion: Caffeine added to nicotine chewing gum appears to amplify its attenuating effects on appetite and the combinations of 1-mg of nicotine with caffeine seem to be well tolerated.

BTW, I've found black tea to be not as effective as black coffee as an appetite suppressant.
Long-form answer with a story from the dev who got Sherlocked first

https://www.karelia.com/blog/the-long-story-behind-karel.htm...
I once bought a pair of needle nose pliers at the dollar store (actually a dollar) back in the 90s. The first time I used them both the grips immediately bent under a small amount of force, which is actually so funny that I think I got my money's worth in the end.
To add to this, in the US at least, a lot of that income is paid in the form of various benefits such as health insurance and retirement contributions that aren't immediate liquid cash, so it feels like less on the receiving end.
GitLab PM for the Web IDE here. You're right! You can follow our progress in https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/9466
There's also"baking steels", which are like stones but make of steel available on the market. That's the brand name but there perfectly good knock offs available. The heat transfer dynamics are probably preferable, and the steel can't crack in two under thermal shock.

I've been happy with mine.
Looks like this lets me use apple pen on my ipad. I wish i could do that on obsidian canvas.
Moving back actually. About 20 years ago I used IDEs over X Windows remote sessions, and in many projects VS over RDP was also an option.
I only want to use a pen on OS X for drawing (actuall "free form" drawing). Until that happens, I would need to buy a $700 paper block called iPad and that's not in my intention.
I guess it depends. Europe and US is different in this regard (tech jobs). Whenever I look for a job, the numbers are:

- around 15 potential companies I’m interested in working for (after spending some time on the internet)

- I apply to 10 or so

- 2 or so never answer

- I don’t pass the first call for 1 company

- 5 answer me

- I fail the tech interview with half of them

- I pass the whole interview with 2 or 3, from which I select 1
A lot of things that go on within companies are not some deep dark trade secret that you're violating some confidence by talking about with friends. However, if I were on an interview committee, and saw a blog post sharing the blow by blow complete with names of the people involved, I'd consider it at least rather weird. I certainly wouldn't have consented to having my name made public in that way.
> That’s why I would never be able to work for FAANG.

I sincerely doubt FAANG has no use for regular web developers, or that web developers there need to know C++ internals of Node.
Similar to the Facebook outage earlier. Apparently everything is managed through Facebook accounts so employees could not get access to fix the issues.
I would invest more time into a tool that ports your game to Unity. You already have "code" attached to "sprites" with "actions" happening based on some triggers and entity states.

From this far away it looks like it could work.

Dealing with the XML spaghetti from most Java EE containers isn't much better though.
The trick is that they pretended they were compliant with us regulations when they weren’t. Some users probably don’t mind this, but if there are issues they might change their mind.
I was put on a project as an architect recently. My conclusion is that it's over-complicated. Why? The problem that was put in front of the dev team was pretty complex. So if you ask the dev team, it's a complicated solution to a complicated problem. And they are somewhat right.

However, the problem didn't have to be this complex. If someone would've asked some questions about the 'why' of it all, they would've been able to come to that conclusion. But nobody did. So the team was working on an over-complicated system for an over-complicated problem.

So, while I agree with the article that one might be under-estimating the complexity of a problem, it might be wise to look into whether solving the complex problem is actually necessary and whether 99% can be achieved by solving a less complex problem in a less complex way and accepting the solution isn't perfect.
It’s funny because right now I am tearing down a system which performed well for small data but was unacceptably slow for large data sets. The earlier version sent at least 10x the data to the front end for features that were nice but not as nice as fast is nice. It went from multiple server requests to one modest sized lump of data and most of the work was the demolition of the old and careful porting of small features that still make sense with the simpler product.
Show HN: Creatomate – Video Generation API Through Node.js, PHP, Zapier, etc.
Last month, we launched Creatomate – a SaaS for rendering video through a REST API.

It allows you to add video creation functionality to your own software using the API. Basically, it works like this. You start with a template created in the online video editor. A video can then be rendered by inserting dynamic text, images, or video clips programmatically.

Creatomate can also generate videos completely from scratch with JSON. This makes it possible to edit and create any type of video entirely from code. There are 50+ code examples on GitHub (https://github.com/creatomate) demonstrating the API's capabilities.

We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

You can see on the "Push-ups per day" graph (on the website) that I did 290 days of push-ups, so yes, there were days where I did no push-ups for various reasons.
From wikipedia…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_(software)

Advocates of Watson made by Karelia Software, LLC claim that Apple copied their product without permission, compensation, or attribution in producing Sherlock 3. Some disagree with this claim, stating that Sherlock 3 was the natural evolution of Sherlock 2, and that Watson was obviously meant to have some relation to Sherlock by its very name.

The phenomenon of Apple releasing a feature that supplants or obviates third-party software is so well known that being Sherlocked has become an accepted term used within the Mac and iOS developer community.
> Ironically, by accidentally making the problem occur more often, K0bin made it much easier to track down and fix.

Boy do I know that one. Intermittent issues are so much harder to debug. Getting a frequent test case often means the difference between solving a bug in an afternoon, or letting it live on as a GitHub issue for years, only to be bumped every few months by a comment that adds no new information at all.
Shouldn't a shell box just disable core dumps altogether?
> the reason iPad lacks a “killer app”

You're just hugely mistaken. iPad has several killer apps, but the one that is probably the most important is Safari, followed by Mail, followed by Maps (and Google Earth), followed by a combination of Camera and Photos, followed by a tossup between Contacts and Calendar, then Books, Reminders, etc. That these applications are not original doesn't matter. The tablet form-factor and iPadOS platform makes them all earth-shattering for anyone who has previously been tied to a desktop or laptop with a conventional OS. Prior to iPhone, it was as it is today in that most computer users were not power users. They used web, email, and consumed media. iPad does all that better than anything that came before. It's annoying for more complicated tasks, but it does web, personal email and displays media better really than anything else available.
No, you just need to widdle the knob till it is in range you want. If knob have too little detents you can't widdle it close enough to what you want. Granted, 14 bit CC is near enough but support in implementations is kinda spotty, and, well, it does eat twice as much CC.

Shove it into a synth that have a bunch of oscillators, filters, LFOs and effects [1] and you'd probably be forced to downgrade few of those parameters back to 7 bit

The point was if you're dumb enough, marinating chicken in NyQuil and washing it down with bleach will seem like an award winning idea. No amount of filters and censorship will prevent people like this from existing and engaging in self harm. So why continue to try and prevent it?

The tide pod teenage phase is similar. Teenagers will always find reckless things to do and share it to become popular. It's what teens do. Good parents make the difference here.
>Without these rules we'd be stuck drowning in an even larger and blander sea of retellings and reimaginings.

Imagine saying that statement unironically in a world where the MCU and Disney's Starwars exists.
The first part of that quote that you omitted alludes to Datadog (not a FAANG) looking for a C++ dev which the author later admits they are not. Why did the author apply to the job knowing they would be unprepared?

FTA:
>They needed a JavaScript master AND C++ developer who could contribute to Node.js core on DataDog’s behalf. They needed a specialist. Alas, that wasn’t me. I had worked with frontend, backend, serverless, mobile, even graphic design and UX. But not exclusively with Node.js core
>They would make up sob stories because otherwise people would just call them a thief and ignore them.

You're being unfairly harsh here. Most likely they bought it off the second hand market because in many countries people can't afford the prices of new iPhones, and then realized it's a stolen phone.
>I don't think that terminating an at-will employee is any hard work.

Contrary to what HN may have implied, you still have to comply with federal labor law in at-will states and if you want to terminate someone in a manner where you can be all but guaranteed you will not have to settle a frivolous wrongful termination lawsuit there is a pretty decent amount of coordination and documentation work that needs to be done. I wouldn't call it hard work but it's not non-work and it does take time.
How many of those responses are actually new grads though. I also get hundreds of responses but it’s probably closer to 1/20 who have recently graduated from a 4 year CS program.

Even ignoring CS degrees most of the applicants are clearly unqualified and are just applying to every job they can. A very quick resume screen will filter our applicants down to a handful.

It's vacant buildings that should be taxed brutally, incentivizing lower rents, or their replacement with space-efficient ones, or their demolition.
For typical CEO compensation, probably including a healthy severance when it inevitably doesn't work out pretty quickly? I mean, why not? But if it's some kind of Musk $20/hour CEO, then of course not.
What you mean is the FRP lock and it's not local because you have to log into a Google account to complete activation of the phone. You can factory reset or change ROMs or do whatever you want and the phone will still refuse to work until you log in using the last Google account the device had.
I'm confused on why the end state for all these rovers is to loose power because of dust on the solar cells. They did such a good job engineering these things to survive the trip and the conditions in general, but they can't give them "windshield wipers for dust"? Seems like with that minor upgrade they could have much longer lifespan.

Can someone enlighten me?
I'd suggest that for a lot of users, Procreate is the closest thing to a "killer app" that's iPad only and emerged organically from a third party.
>some could say: just create your account on a more generalist instance

Close. I'ld have said host your own instance.
> Touchy metaphorical language like "slave replica"

Why is that touchy? It doesn't make any value judgements about slavery. It's just referencing the concept. If referencing the concept is bad, then I guess schools shouldn't teach it anymore? Let's all pretend there never was any slavery!

I wonder when someone will find a problem with 'kill' command.
This whole thread is about copyright reform, and what should be done to make it better... and that includes this.
I recently used Ruffle [2] to get some Flash applications [0] working in the Pro version of my web browser [1], which is specifically designed to be remotely accessible and embeddable in an iframe. To run Ruffle on pages that require it, I utilize the Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol [3], similar to how a Chrome extension content script operates. Ruffle itself relies on WebAssembly and runs smoothly. It's been exciting to see the audio and video functionality of these old games restored and being able to play them again.

Oh right, this doesn't follow the narrative that crypto is useless for everything.
WF keeps doing this over and over. It’s baffling how the fines haven’t just gone up exponentially and folks haven’t gone to jail. They literally do not care. They know exactly what will happen and the math makes sense every time.
So the system adapted and we are all better of due to that. That warrants the question why we should expect anything else with copyright?
Yep - just read one about Django and starting one about Spring Boot. I know both these frameworks but I like to read as a way of keeping up on the new features. The key is I try to code as I read and as soon as possible put what I learned in action. Frameworks are so large these days that I constantly am discovering something new every time I deep dive.

I don't like these language. I'm forced to write them. I didn't ask for terraform, typescript, CSS, HTML, yaml, xml, JSON, and everything else.

> for someone who's job is to work with JavaScript then WebStorm is much better

It's never been my experience that a full IDE is better for dynamic interpreted languages. Maybe if you're used to that from writing C# or Java it's nice, but I'll sooner take vi.

But like you said, thanks to lots of people that came before me, I'm not just writing one language, I'm writing many. Right now, I have tabs open with eight different languages. I need something that's suitable at everything, not just one language.

No, to prevent serious battery degradation due to overuse from changes in iOS, allegedly. And as if that's an excuse - if that was the real issue, they could have provided it as an option.

If a new update slows down your phone on purpose, for whatever reason, and hides that from you, people understandably might avoid new updates.
It works through a life insurance. So it's not just the subscription.
