It's worth pointing out that airplane and satellite trails have long been a problem in astrophotography, and there's many techniques that exist to remove them in the stacking process.

Sure. So for us IT folk, SOX boils down into 2 buckets (if you'll allow me to oversimplify a bit): 1. Separation of duties 2. Process (and well, documentation, but let's say that's a part of process.) Separation of duties boi

I don't want to sidetrack y'all's discussion but any user base curated social media platform is going to be an echo chamber, HN included. It's not a unique feature of just Reddit.

So I think you're asking, "why prosecute a victimless crime?" There's a couple reasons. Some people want the law to uphold societal moral standards. Some say that victimless crimes aren't actually victimless. - In t

It was a bad analogy. If a kid down the street died while drunk driving, you'd definitely tell your kid about it and teach them safe drinking habits. If a kid in your neighborhood died from playing with a gun, you'd definitely tel

You can install 3rd party app stores on Android devices. Apple forces all developers to only use their app store, and then makes them pay 30%.

Not everyone really needs to be great. The person who learns coding to scratch an itch like creating a small website for their family business just needs to know how to put their ideas on a screen. But these initiatives that try to promise

To adapt a quote from one of my favorite movies: "Not everyone can become a great coder; but a great coder can come from anywhere ." That's what (in my opinion) you should take away from "everybody can code." I thi

This sort of seems like outrage porn. We don't know anything about the competitive atmosphere in this particular school, so we should be careful about comparing to our own personal experiences. My opinion: I do understand wanting to en

How much should it be? Zero. How much does it end up being? Well, assuming you've already caught on to the age bias in the industry, you probably have long since stopped putting your graduation year on your resume. That makes you r

I'm not trying to be combative, but why would they include it on the requirements then? Do they wave the requirement only for exceptional software developers? Or maybe it creates enough friction for non-higher-educated people to not co

I do hiring also at my job. I can see why filtering on 4 year degree is attractive to some - it's a bit daunting when on day one of opening a req, you get 25 applications. When you get up to 40, you start looking for signal within the

Note he said "coding" and "writing apps for the app store", not "getting a coding job". Apple's website still asks for 4 year degrees for their engineers (at least the ones I just now looked at). The reali

I don't understand. What is wrong with using technology to curate our experience in our homes? You can make a nice experience for yourself without throwing privacy and security out of the window. It does take some network design and ca

I halfway agree with your comment. I think smart home technology is still in the realm of tinkerers right now, and investing in an ecosystem requires a lot of forethought. I replaced all of my dumb light switches with zwave light switches,

Feels like an overly dressed article for what amounts to "Google now allows haircuts for emojis". Also I had a laugh at the swimmer emoji. I guess they could have a different hair style under their swim cap. Tangentially related,

Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple: - Anonymity vs non-anonymity: does a child have a right to know who their biological parent is? Is it ethical to donate, create offspring, and remain anonymous? Some family predispositions to

Is this a regional issue? Haven't had this problem at all in Texas. Scheduled maintenance and my car was returned in only a couple days.

Claiming that boot time doesn't matter to servers is a good argument? Quoting Karl Rove is a good argument? Lennart Poettering is a trojan horse? How can this sway anyone?

This article is so biased, I had to flag it, I'm sorry. I can appreciate a good systemd HCI argument. Maybe a Unix philosophy argument, but those are pretty debunked these days. I can appreciate an attack surface/system responsi

It looked great on my OLED. The true blacks made a large difference in producing detail in dark scenes. I imagine a traditional backlit LED would have looked much worse.

This is blatant propaganda. It's an article, from Singapore's economic development board, on why Singapore is so great for tech.
