I don't think you know what fake news is. It isn't biased news, its not incorrect news, or unsubstantiated rumors. It is websites that steal CSS and styles from official news sites. That then create a fake news paper and publish 1

The US still charges taxes for 10 years after you renounce your citizenship if you spend more than 30 days in the country and they charge an exit tax.

From a engineering point of view this is really cool, but as an ex-sysadmin I feel that I need to reiterate and emphasize something that is alluded to in the second paragraph. Too many things can go wrong and you are all around better off o

This honestly doesn't surprise me. Adding an infinite number of IPs is one way bot writers get around rate limits. I've done it before when I worked for a company that made a facebook/myspace/etc crawler.

What about the BBC they seem to walk the tightrope of being funded by the government while still being about as balanced as a news org can be.

I did this a few years ago. I don't know if I'm 100% transitioned but I'm just about. I setup the forward from <name>@gmail.com to <name>@<mydomain>. I then flagged things that are coming from gmail and slow

I'm a developer, and an ex-sysadmin. Using the CLI makes my life much simpler. I greatly prefer being able to write scripts, and use things like PDSH to run commands across many boxes. For example, go through every web server, search t

`try!(foo)` is roughly equivalent to this (invalid) code: foo().unwrap_or_else({ |e| return Err(e) }) Or in Go terms: a := try!(foo) is equivalent to: a, err := foo() if err != nil { return nil, err }

Being fired generally means you did something wrong wrong. Laid off means the company is getting rid of people to reduce costs or due to removing the position, for example due to change of strategy. One generally implies personal fault, the

If he was doing business in on a London exchange then you would be right. He decided to do business on a US exchange so US laws end up applying. And the UK laws did apply here, can we and should we allow the extradition to happen? UK laws s

> No-one said it was. That is literally what the comment I replied to said. That "self hosting" was a reason to root for gitlab.

github has self-hosting. It is a little pricey but that is not a product differentiator.

I'd say the exact opposite. From my impression of it he is in charge of the Japan office. If this is anything like how the company I'm at is doing internationalization there will likely be pushing (and some implementing) technical

Lightning has long been an Apple proprietary standard. It has been on the last 3-4 generations of iPhones iirc. It has some advantages over USB Micro. Like being reversible.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. The consumers won, hackers lost. My mother (or father if he wasn't an engineer himself) doesn't care about replacing the camera, how much ram it has or replacing the battery. She wants

I was really confused when I saw this that the Eve Dev Blogs, https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/ , were being posted on HN. For others this is a new programming language called Eve and is completely un

In fact at the end of the article it said control was handed over to ICANN itself and not the UN explicitly.

This isn't a counterfeit. It is a case of mistaken identity and a lot of money on the line. A Pete Doig did in fact paint the picture. The problem is that Pete Doig is not Peter Doig.

I'm glad they are releasing version 1.0 but I feel that the maintainers of the Go gRPC team have a lot of work to rebuild trust. I've seen backwards incompatible changes made by core go team members and core gRPC maintainers. Wher

We use Conusl, Terraform, Packer and (sometimes) Vagrant. Terraform is probably my favorite you have to be a bit careful running it against live infrastructure but it is so nice to be able to figure out who did what to your machines rather

I took it differently. If the fine was coming from the executives paychecks he wouldn't be opposed to it. But as it stands the fine is coming from the shareholder's pockets who have already been stolen from. So all he would be doi

Not OP but a fellow fastmail user. Now a days there aren't actually good free providers. Google charges a yearly fee if you want to use a custom domain. This wasn't true when I originally switched to fastmail. Back then google sti

- Codenames is a great party game. Easy to teach and works really well in larger groups. It is a word association game. One person gives a hint and the their team tries to guess all the right words on the board without hitting any of the o

My understanding is a lot of the excessiveness was due to the behavior of the defendant. They ignored court orders, they repeatedly tried to make a joke out of it and all around refused to take it seriously. This lead the judge to using the

It totally took a year to really internalize goisms. But a week or so to pickup the basics, and some really deep code reviews and a bit of pair programming from people I respect, including the author of this article, helped me quickly learn

There are actually two (or more) different services. One that sits and talks to the users via TCP and maintains the IRC connection state and then makes back end calls to the bit that makes decisions and publishes information. This allows us

Mind sending me details? I can be reached at tarrant@twitch.tv. Information that can help are things like who your ISP is, what your specific IP is, where you are located. Possibly a traceroute to live.twitch.tv. We really do care about the
