Github has no reason to keep hosting the repos. It's obvious that their only purpose is to facilitate piracy.

Github is in the code hosting business, not the movie pirating business.

The Twitters and Reddits need to be careful here when complaining because without users generating free content, they also have no business.
Agreed. Align models with happiness.
Alpine and OpenWRT are pretty much related. You haven't seen how well does Alpine Linux run on the desktop, kinda like OpenWRT in legacy devices.
This is a very weird situaiton. As far as I know the whole Red Hat distribution is still open source. Now they put themselves in a position to refrain from publishing their open source changes. If those changes do not flow up or down stream, how are they going to keep calling themselves open source? (They don't call themsegpes free software as far as I can tell)

I'm getting tired seeing this.

Why are those people not able to do a web search before using services like Stripe or PayPal ?

They weren’t very useful in either Parkland or Uvalde. I think at the point where you’ve got a fucked up person, determined to kill, with easy access to firearms and a culture where “a school shooting” is a regular thing, you’ve already lost. Giving the police more or less guns is sort of meaningless to this discussion, they’ve proven to be hopeless. You need to be tackling broader societal problems and looking closely at whether the second amendment’s “well-regulated militia” really means “anyone can have a gun”
> EDIT2: While I don't know youtube's average revenue per user, both Facebook and Google's ARPU for the NA segment is ~$100-$200/y, which would put $6/mo quite close to the replacement cost of lost ads revenue.

$100/12 = $8.33

$200/12 = $16.66

Right. Reddit isn't going anywhere.
It is genuine in that some techy solution was suggested for some problem. This is very HN.
Scraping has been a thing since the web started. Happens to every public site.

Dunno it is kinda strange. The variation between different companies has to be huge in how accessable their codebase and workflow are.

Oh man, I remember building a new PC for Falcon 4.0. I think I still have the manual binder somewhere. I didn’t actually stick with it for that long in the end - I should check out what the community has done in the meantime!
Should add (2008) to the title.
So as usual, more guns. Brilliant, decades of school shootings and your solution is to throw more guns at the problem.

Honestly if you like guns, you should really hope you don't get what you're asking for. Because once the inevitable happens and it becomes clear that more guns isn't helping there's only one direction that can go - gun control.

Domains cost money. Servers cost money. Updating software costs time and therefore money. Ergo, once the incentive to keep it alive is gone, the URLs change. Not to mention other considerations. Maybe the expectations shouldn't be for URLs to change, rather than for them to be temporary things.
Isn’t salmon usually caught in the ocean near the river’s mouth? The closer salmon get to spawning, the worse they taste. And it’s hard to get a large ship up the river. This seems like it would be more of an issue for trout fisherman, especially because trout are full time residents of the river.
I think fundamentally i don't agree with that.
Let's see how many antipatterns:

- Multiple inheritance

- Over-abstraction

- Excessive identifier prefixing and suffixing

- Use of friend

- Use of bit fields instead of bools

- Inconsistent mixture of custom and built-in int types

- Direct storage of pointers instead of reference-counted containers

- Custom (and likely broken) _smart_ptr

- Cancerous coding style that adds too many lines

- Functions with 7+ arguments

- Lots and lots of duplicated code

- Inadequate use of const

- Inconsistent coding styles

- class name and base classes at the same indentation level

- Redundant prefixing of directories ~~and namespaces~~ with the name of the project

Edit: My bad, they don't use namespacing at all. It's a flat namespace. At least they don't using namespace std.
You're right, scrub 'best'. In their particular area of recruitment, the largest and arguably best known in london. (No names if you don't mind).
I’d love to hear more about your reasoning because it’s not the experience I’ve had, but I’ve heard it before and would like to understand it more.

I personally found Jest to do a lot of magic that, as an only occasional contributor to JS codebases, made it somewhat impenetrable.

As a comparison, many testing libraries look a lot like Python’s unittest if you squint, a design originated in the Java ecosystem I think. I find I can move between testing many languages and be immediately productive with test and know how things work, which is a huge productivity bonus.

Alternatively, I’ve found pytest’s dependency injection makes writing tests really nice and easy, the whole lifecycle management is very good. I’d even consider coordinating integration tests with it if I was just running precompiled binaries etc.

The problem here is obvious. What if the patient has an adverse reaction to the drug? If they took a single dose, you can discontinue the drug. But you can't discontinue a multiple dose drug delivered in a single shot.
Thanks for the feedback, but haha it sounds like it worked actually: you're not the target customer and avoided wasting yours or the company's time :-)

At this stage of the company, the goal of the website is to provide a validating presence for people who already heard about them, because they're selling to carefully vetted partners.

The typical flow is (strong reason to engage) => homepage => "deploy on Massive" => book a time to talk.

Massive never seems short of customer interest, and the challenge is more on engineering to safely and efficiency grow.

I guess now is the time to plug the jobs page:

There seems to be an innate human desire to fix problems right in front of your eyes that you can see clearly. And that's not limited to software development.

People seem to be constantly developing workarounds for the deliberate sabotage by their own superiors preventing them from doing the work they're being paid to do, and even sacrificing their own time for it.

Unfortunately, this keeps the parasites in power as it masks the damage their approaches are doing, or would be doing if left to run their natural course.

Don't be a cuck and pick up others' shit. Especially not if they're higher-paid and get to give you orders.
For Australians, if you are affected, this is the kind of issue that should be raised with ACCC at https://www.accc.gov.au/about-us/contact-us/report-a-consume....

It falls under the Australian Consumer Protection under misleading or deceptive conduct.[0] A lifetime licence marketed as such cannot be withdrawn let alone with EULA/TOS presented after the purchase.[1] Probably could also get your money back from the retailer/autodesk too if you cannot use the software with your lifetime licence.

>The bottom of the cell is about 42 feet above groundwater.

Not a comforting thought. I hope they are actually monitoring groundwater radiation levels.
This makes me really curious, doesn’t Github codespaces uses VScode under the hood ?

I had tested a web version of VScode through code-server self hosted.

It is not totally usable for me, there’s too much issue with text selection and scrolling, it works okay for a moment and in other it was barely usable.

I wonder if you have met similar issues or if you succeeded to overcome those.
> This is, in fact, a point raised by many commenters in the thread - it's very likely that Premium will stop being ad-free once it gains a large enough user base.

I mean... then you stop paying and download an ad blocker. Why not enjoy the utopia of paid commercial free video content while it lasts. It's not like you're locked in somehow.

Sure, but your comment suggests that AI will continue improving indefinitely. Why might we not, as we did with paraffin, reach the limit of AI?
Yeah the UK had a shooting in Dunblane that shocked the country. Then, like Australia, something happened and somehow we didn’t have any more school shootings.

If only we could pinpoint that something. Like if there was a lesson that could be learned from both of those cases, something the USA could take and apply to see a similar decline in such mass shootings …
As pointed by countless people before me -- the hard part is not necessarily the hosting itself (which is still hard and could be a problem at a certain point), but to moderate -- to filter out spams, insults and illegal stuff etc. That is a time black hole. You have to admit that reddit does a much better job at fending off spams than an average forum.
I have been saying this for years.

The contribution graph of most projects looks like a power law, this is a failure of open source. We need to lower the barrier to entry to flatten the contribution graph and to enable mass collaboration. And that goes through a focused effort on what they call open knowledge.

And I think that implies giving up on some agile principles for most open source projects. You cannot rely on people over documentation, for example, when the potential contributor pool has 1000s of developers and the knowledge is held by one guy in Wyoming who does it part time after work.
Did you look at how the house and senate voted on these matters?
> And it's nowhere near the efficiency of the human brain, so we have good reason to suspect we should be able to at least build highly-interconnected AIs with at least the efficiency of the human brain.

Why? I really don't get it. Many, many commenters here and elsewhere have used the existence of the human brain as a supposed proof that we can create AIs with human-level intelligence. I just don't see why the conclusion follows from the observation. Can anyone flesh out the argument in more detail?
Quicklisp is the de facto standard repository.
It is close though, especially in urban areas. My brother worked at Sotchi during the Olympics and in a big city in the south (sorry I forgot the name, it was on a pretty big river though) during the world Cup, and it seemed that everyone was trying to use each other, or was thinking others wanted to use them. Even when the surrounding mood was positive, young people seemed distrustful, and the drunk Russians seemed more violent and paranoid that drunk tourists/workers. It felt like a hard life, for young people at least. Older people seemed doing a lot better tbh.
There are never Facebook or Tumblr links on the HN front page. Twitter seems to be the only proprietary social media that has enjoyed enough hacker cred to get upvotes.

A resumé is a tool for you to guide the interviewer, and you should use it for your advantage.

If you stuff your CV with a contextless list of random tech keywords, half of which are things you did a "hello world" with years ago, the interview is now a game of Russian roulette, and the gun is aimed at your face. Sure, you'll pass the resumé screening, but at what cost? You're leaving a lot to the interviewer's imagination, and what they imagine you should know is not necessarily what you know.

"So, your CV mentions you have MongoDB and DevOps experience. We're actually having some weird issues with it recently, it seems that under very intense loads, some of our nodes get locked and time out, and then the cluster loses quorum. Do you have any thoughts on what we could do?" It sucks to get a question like this, when all your previous experience in the matter is that you pressed the "create instance" button in the Atlas UI three years ago, and decided that was enough MongoDB-ing and DevOps-ing for a CV bullet point.

You can prevent this by showing those tech keywords in the context in which they're relevant. "Created and deployed an online application for candy bar enthusiasts, using React, NestJS and MongoDB on the cloud". Now you might get questions like "I see on your CV that you worked on an app for... candy bar enthusiasts? Could you tell me more about it?", or, "Your CV mentions that you built an app using MongoDB and NestJS, how was the experience of using MongoDB in a Node application?", which you are more qualified to answer. By adding relevant human context to what you did, you guide the interviewer towards the questions you'd want them to ask.
Functions that return types wrapping int instead of raw ints are a good thing. Error codes in particular really should be something enum like and not 32 bits of best of luck.

In contrast, having some containers call it size and others call it length is indeed moderately unhelpful.

Dropbox is thoroughly analysing every piece of your data in real time. If you rely fully on them to back up your data, just wait until they block you for some silly reason without any possibility to recover.
For the purpose of this discussion it doesn't matter - the germane point is that some people will want a 'better' system regardless of whether your studies agree it is significantly/detectably so.
Do/did we know enough about the martian ionosphere to select an appropriate frequency band at the time these craft were launched?

I'm curious about the legal side of copyright and code.

If you have a closed source game and copyright expires then how does that affect the sources?

Do closed source games not require the sources to be released after copyright expires?
Most of the criticism outlined in his follow-up is because of the state of functional programming in 2008 when this was written:

- "Not being able to re-use names for values in functions". It's not a feature of functional languages, and thankfully many these days don't suffer from this limitation (see Erlang vs Elixir for example)

- "The lack of a simple dictionary type". Again, blame the terrible functional ecosystems of 2008.

This is not true. Basically only large, non-tech enterprises use the keyword stuffing automated scanning process.

Source: I don't do this, and basically never get a call back from anyone using Taleo, but almost always get call backs from Big Tech/startups with humans that look at resumes (tbh I suspect my pdf format also causes issues here).
To address these other concerns, checkout out podcasts like pitchfork economics or freakanonics. There’s no reason to think interest would go up. That’s just concern trolling from republicans
I agree. I’m a contractor and I feel the tech list allows the client to know upfront what I know out the gate and what I don’t. They can make an informed decision around who they want to get in for their project.

For anyone who may be interested, my friends and I have a book club called Public Works, where we only read stuff that’s in the public domain, and we just began an arc on antiquity.

Right now we’re reading “History of the Peloponnesian War” by Thucydides, which is amazing, and the plan is to go in chronological order until the fall of the western Roman Empire. So after this, got example, we’ll probably do Xenophon, Plato, some of the plays, and then Aristotle, before moving on to studying Alexander.

It’s all really interesting stuff and the works are by excellent writers, so they’re relatable and easy to read. I think a big benefit comes from reading primary sources, versus, say for example, taking a class in college.

If anyone is interested now is a perfect time to join, as we’ve just begun book 2 of Thucydides. We also need new members because we’re looking for help with writing content about our readings into the site. Helping us optional though of course.

Absolutely, and those releases weren't even that old (<10 years).

There are so many things that I learnt from tinkering with the Quake 3 source code in 2007, I am still very happy and grateful that I had the opportunity at the time. My understanding of topics like real-time applications, AI, platform independent code and debugging would be very different if that code would not have been released.
I assume they mean not the reddit practice specifically but of the same link rot phenomenon that takes place across the web.
Oh wow, thank you! I think I found my new “listen to this to fall back asleep if I wake up at 3am” choice. It’s all so pleasant and makes enough sense not to be jarring yet also quickly blurs into noise.
Somewhat, you can still see how the sky looks unnatural from the HDR effect which just ruins everything. The top is a more natural realistic sky. Shoreline is kinda weird too.
One can see the level of detail when it mentions 3 Euro cost for a password manager software.

The author chose the 25000 Euro GmbH setup. That money can immediately be used to pay for company invoices (not salaries or at least accountants advise against that) so the money is not lost and not a fee. One can also chose the UG setup that doesn't have the 25000 Euro requirements. It's limited to 3 shareholders and people who plan to raise VC money don't use that. Also having 'UG' next to your company name shows customer and suppliers you were cheap. Fine for a lot of startup though.

Not sure I understand the scenario when a VC adds money and the company is now valued 10 million Euro. Yes, that has tax implication on the founder. Did you create something that has a value of 10 million or not?
