I feel the same confusion about why anyone would want to download content. I don't want to pick specific bands/albums/songs. I want to always be listening live to new stuff. I also think all podcasts are awful (boring and toxic).
Pretty much yes, look them up. They are huge on TDD and pair programming.
Whatever, I'm in. I'm still startup positive. Let's see what they have cooking.

It's easy to be a cynic
I'm not sure why people are defending Github on this issue, what if the original repo was a template or something, and your thousands of lines of code is gone because the original template repo removed you as a contributor. If I copy something, I expect where I copied it from to have exactly zero bearing on what happens to my copy. If they have a problem they can serve legal documents, giving everyone time to figure something out with zero data loss.
> C is not just a fancy assembler any more

I wish this trope would die. It really never was one.
It's incapable of original thought, so absolutely not. Proof: can ChatGTP trigger y'all like I did?
> If they did allow that, and retained no control over the forked copy, now you can ride a coach and horses through the access control to a private repo by simply forking it when you have access.

...which you can still trivially do if you use git to make the copy. And then your github repo will be immune to this kind of deletion.

So common sense says to me this should act similarly.
Which Wetlands to Protect? Supreme Court Will Soon Decide
Nowhere did I blame anti-car people for the current situation. That's a total strawman, and - as you say - sad to see on HN. But not surprising. I'm also well aware of strongtowns and missingmiddle and so on, and often draw my arguments from them. If you look back in my history, as you already seem to have done but only to cherry-pick and escalate, you should be able to see that.

I do want more transportation options. I grew up in a city where there were more (overseas) and have traveled to many more. But I also see a continuing role for cars, and better for them to be EV than ICE. And I'm sick to death of people who sit around and kibitz, as if we can quantum-leap from one state to another - whether it exists elsewhere or not - instead of doing the work to get there through the incremental paths still available to us. That's the real intellectual dead end. Intellect should be employed for understanding and planning and problem solving, not merely wishing problems away and throwing fallacies at anyone who disagrees with that approach.
GitHub Actions trivialized this for us. Spawning a Postgres database for testing is easy and carefree. Spawns. Runs operations and evaluates the state of the database after each operation.

We have two flavours of test: one that drops the transaction each time, ensuring a clean, known state. And one that doesn’t, allowing your tests to avoid lots of overhead by “walking through a series of incremental states”.

Yes, some might call the latter heresy. But it works great.

There are "dog nannies" in SF
IMHO There's a bit of an evo-psych thing going on there, and a lack of awareness of what that means... mixed with the both sides being skeptical about management picking one side or the other.

So you end up with this sort of semi faustian thing where thoughts of "maybe certain sub groups of product/design/sales/eng really should just be together/remote" are ejected like hot shit in fear that if that thought is allowed to consume management, which ever option that is picked will dominate everyone.
Don't use the "Fork" button in the GitHub UI, then. It is intended for collaboration and establishes and maintains the parent-child relationship of "your fork" and if the parent repo is deleted, so are all forks. If the parent repo is private and goes public, so do all forks. If the parent repo is public and switches to private, so do all forks. This behavior is laid out in docs.github.com and is not secret.

This has been the case on github.com for over a decade, and I am slightly shocked that people don't know this. I guess the root of that is that I am surprised that this has not bitten more people than it has.

People assuming things are a certain way and never checking to verify that are by far the greatest source of "I shot myself in the foot" statements that will ever be known.
Think we (Crunchy Data) has been mentioned a few times below and have near feature parity with Heroku Postgres (only thing missing is dataclips coming this quarter). We've got folks that migrate the DB to us then use a whole host of other options including Fly, Railway, Render, etc.
Thats is quite poor compression. My 26 mpix Fujifilm cameras makes ~30 MB compressed RAFs that for sure has better image quality in final output.
Perhaps a less authoritarian option than civil commitment could be to create this type of housing then incentivize it in various ways.

The biggest one is: if you’re going to have zones where hard drugs are de facto legalized, it should be in one of these places that are out of the way and designed to handle the externalities as well as possible rather than in the middle of cities.

It would also give police a place to take people who are creating quality of life issues for residents (tents, screaming, littering, using streets as toilets, etc.). Instead of the “bus out of town” or simply moving people around in the city, they could keep bringing people back to these facilities. Perhaps not all would stay, but I imagine many would.

Maybe the way to think about it is almost like a business serving customers. If homeless people don’t want to stay in this housing voluntarily, how can it be improved to change that? They have reasons for choosing the places that they do now, so if those factors can be replicated and improved upon, force might not generally be necessary.
So the reason is to create a weekly artificial deadline to increase productivity and motivation? Additionally the increased pain of any problems that might arise will incentivize creating procedures that avoid problems. Not sure if creating this kind of artificial stress is actually beneficial long term for the team.

I personally find Europe only generating 2x more revenue than "rest of the world" than NA being 8x. The NA stat just seems inline with differences in GDP per capita.
My uncle, a dedicated ham, worked his entire career in radio. Now he makes some nice pocket money in retirement keeping some old rural AM stations running because no one else really understands how they work.
I’m surprised by the choice of Ember.js. Are many organizations choosing Ember for new projects these days?

React now seems like the conservative choice, with early adopters maybe using Svelte; I haven’t heard much about Ember in years. I’m not a web developer, though :)
> EVs really only exist to extend the life of an industry

That's just silly, since EVs don't burn those fuels. They exist to prolong the life of a road and housing infrastructure, which has both positive and negative aspects to it but is in any case unavoidable during what is sure to be a long transition. Again, bashing them for not being the perfect quantum leap to an ideal state is not productive. Small improvements are still improvements.

Well, I didn't elaborate the extent of some of these people but the equivalent would be meeting multiple, 24 year old Japanese women attending MIT for a summer program that has Disney cosplayer as their identity and skip class to walk around Boston taking selfies with Minnie Mouse hats on.
This looks very nice. I wish the price point for Formkiq Pro were a little more palatable for a startup.
Your link has the answer, declarative testing. You need to think about why you wrote that code and declare some outputs for given inputs that give you confidence in your code.

The other tests from your link are just silly. You did not write code to terminate or to provide an answer for all inputs, you wrote code to provide the right answer.

To test some HTML for instance, think about what information you want the page to convey, load up a browser, and check that the info is displayed. Easy as that.
They actually tried to do a second round in the 1970s. It was felt that they had gone too far so it was abandoned, but not before some people had changed their surnames to use the new simplifications (e.g. 傅 became 付). Some never changed back.
If Pygame can do wasm outputs to WebGL/WebGPU it'll move things along quite a bit for game development
This is my experience.

I worked for over 10 years doing Linux Kernel driver implementation. At Intel.

When I quit last year my base was $120k (150 TC). I couldn’t afford a house in the HCOLA I’m in. Remote wasn’t an option. For me a house is a prerequisite to starting a family.

So I left to get housing. Either making more or going remote and moving to a less expensive area.

Embedded is really fun for me, but it just can’t keep up in times of such inflation- especially WRT housing.
Yes that's what led me to switch to Deezer which has a large lossless library. Unfortunately while their recommendation engine beats Spotify's (at least for me) their app leaves something to be desired. Being able to use the app to control the desktop is one of Spotify's niceties that Deezer has yet to match.
> This is called "traffic calming"

That sounds like the PR branding for a positive externality of developers making streets narrower because they can and it allows them to maximize the space they get to charge for when they sell.

I live in one such neighborhood, and enough people park on the street that even without two cars needing to pass each other it feels unsafe even at slow speed, because if you're taking a turn you can't see oncoming traffic, and if some kid ran out from behind a car there would be no room to maneuver to avoid them without hitting something else, even at a slow speed.

If it wasn't about money they would just put speed bumps in, like they do in lots of places.
Comments can lie, but so can code...

function Add(int a, int b) { return a - b; }

Code can lie in so, so many ways that are much more obscure and confusing than this simple example.
It's interesting that this is regarded as a problem for Elementary OS but the far-and-away market leader in Linux, Red Hat, makes the same decision. There is no supported upgrade path between RHEL major versions besides reinstallation.

This makes me wonder... is the policy itself problematic, or the support window the problem? If Elementary offered five- or seven-year support cycles, would the objection remain?

tl;dr it reserves 3% of your RAM for ECC parity/check values, which is all handled transparently without your operating system needing to know anything.
I absolutely 100% agree with you - both coal* AND aviation contribute to the climate problem so let's talk about both.

Check the IPCC reports, the margins of change require we address both, we are serious here after all and not simply hoping to greenwish inadequate changes magically solve everything.
Sorry for the offtopic remarks, but DevDB is relevant to my interests since I've been working on a similar/related and potentially synergistic tech as an on-again/off-again side project for a few years, and would love to chat with you about it.

As a little kid I took the bad habit of biting my nails (I still do) so my parents brought home a specific product in a small bottle with brush containing a fluid that once brushed over my nails should have discouraged me from biting them. It was really bitter, but turned out I actually liked it and kept biting:)
That was almost 50 years ago, so I guess the product was a different one.

At the time we have AIs that can match up the meaning of comments and the meaning of code there won't be any need for developers any more. ;-)

The other thing I wanted to mention: People don't do code review in their IDEs? Really?

Modern languages with type inference are not fun to analyze without an IDE… Also you can't navigate to related code without IDE features. Just looking at a diff can be very misleading!

Alfresco was supposed to be the OSS alternative to documentum/stellent/etc closed source systems.

It was basically a freemium model, which means that a complete OSS solution is out of reach.

This basically looks like the same thing. I guess Hashicorp is slightly better at OSS, but... I dunno.

A DMS needs:

1) storage (duh)

2) metadata

3) permissions enforcement

4) search / indexing

5) rendering to pdf and pdf signing services

6) workflow engine for document lifecycles, versioning, approvals, rendering

7) a bunch of virtual filesystem interfaces like CMIS, maybe JCR, webDAV, SFTP

8) a decent web client

9) a decent integration API

It's quite the laundry list. A "modern" one should probably be cloud-aware (so docs can be stored in cloud object stores, utilize interface with the various semi-document features of S3 or other object stores, etc.

IMO it should also be implemented perhaps as a non-cloud self-hosted option atop Cassandra or some other scheme with good global replication and scale.

Honestly I don't understand why a consortium of governments and businesses with high regulatory requirements don't simply get together and develop a common platform for this. They'd rather give billions of dollars to Documentum or Oracle. If they want support, SOMEONE will provide paid support, like Postgres

The problem is the FCC. Here's the handbook for KFGM, the local community radio station in Missoula, MT:

https://www.1015kfgm.org/_files/ugd/7578a3_dcafddc8fa53435d9...

And the relevant quote:

> U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens explained the attitude of the FCC, in his opinion, in a 1978 decision on George Carlin's famous "Filthy Language" piece about the seven dirty words:

> “Patently offensive, indecent material presented over the airwaves confronts the citizen, not only in public, but also in the privacy of the home, where the individual's right to be let alone plainly outweighs the First Amendment rights of an intruder.”

The handbook goes on in detail about what the station will accept and what it won't, but the point is simple: The airwaves are not as free as the Internet, and giving the broadcast booth to the average person is legally dangerous to the station. Getting the average person to understand copyright is one thing, especially since most of the oiks insist it's about plagiarism and attribution, but allowing someone who thinks Carlin's Seven Words are a good starting point to broadcast without a filter is going to get the station shut down.
You do see it if they boost the post.

Also, since 4.0 you can follow hashtags. Currently a restriction on this is that you only see posts that made it to your instance because someone else on your instance is following the author. So it works better if you are on an instance with many users or users with similar interests to yours. It works very well for my use cases, most of the content I see is through hashtag follows.
> Now though we're talking about how you must do this action before you get billed. So is the complaint that getting out is difficult, or that you simply have to get out in the first place?

There are 2 complaints:

1) Yes, I'm complaining about opt-out trials. These are consumer hostile.

2) The obstacle course is more knowledge than difficulty. You've described the cancelation process, starting with the implicit assumption that you already know what it is. But we can't start with that assumption. Many consumers simply don't have that knowledge. As I wrote in the article: "App Store customers sometimes contact me anyway for a refund, because Apple does not educate them about the refund process". The process itself is not particularly difficult... if you're aware of it! If you're not aware of it, then it's a major obstacle.

Don't you think it's weird that you can subscribe or start a trial inside the app, but you can't cancel the subscription inside the app?
Despite all qualms about privacy, ai manipulation, walled gardens etc (concerns which obviously dont carry much currency in certain circles) it would be a positive signal if this catches on.

It would disprove the hypothesis that social media have gained popularity by increasingly dumbing down the main type of content. Long form text definitely would be a reversal of that trend.
Try shaking your head then rereading the article, perhaps it will get better, or worse?

Yep we played lots of street hockey with nets in the street. Part of the game was clearing all people/sticks/balls and the two nets in <5 seconds whenever a car showed up.

All drivers in the whole neighborhood understood this as normal.

That said, as kids we’d be equally fine with a dedicated lot specifically to play various types of street ball. As long as it allowed random pickup games, always had a free spot for us, and didn’t require us to pay $100/mo each to some sports league organization.

Abundant free sports facilities for each neighborhood are fine. We don’t need to play in the literal street.
That's not true. I can go put the MIT license text in every folder on my computer and it won't actually apply the license to anything.
>I mean, how much would a feed of podcasters’ syndication cost?

That's like asking how long is a piece of string?

How much is part of negotiations. The more people following, the higher the number. The larger the ego of the podcast producer(s), the higher the number. The more desperate the radio op is, the higher the number. If the podcaster has a set price tag type of licensing, then they must be new or are very naive or just don't feel like negotiating. In content licensing, you always shoot high in negotiations. If they come back with a yes on the first offer, you learn to shoot even higher the next time as you're leaving money on the table. If they do the more natural response of a much lower counter, then you get to play the traditional game. If they are someone so big of a broadcaster that they come in with an offer, never accept on first offer either. Always make them provide at least a second offer.*

*I'm not a professional anything in this regard, so don't take the word of rando inteweb person. Talk to your lawyers regarding licensing offers. I'm just someone who has been near/around these things for a long time.

From what I understand, there is significant variance in how bitter it is to different people. As an example, I can lick a switch cartridge and just get a slight tingly sensation, it's not particularly bitter or unpleasant. I have also tasted the denatured alcohol used in some decorative tabletop burners (mainly because, hey, it says 100% non toxic - can't be THAT Bad!). It had a similar tingly taste, and reminded me a bit of gin...

That is the exact meaning, which does seem to be common sense. You can fork from a public, private or internal repo. Public is public and the fork won't get deleted when the repo removes you. Private deletes your fork, since it isn't your repo. Internal requires gated access.

Heh. I worked with a guy that dropped at least 200K on his "prototype." The prototype was a mock up of the product, which looked like it worked if you moved through the demo in exactly the right way. It was all hard coded. He said it was a bargain, since it let him raise real money (a couple of million.) Of course, he spent all that too, along with most of his life savings. The company got no real traction and was eventually sold in a fire sale.
