One color? No. That is equivalent to a single word.

A combination of multiple colors on the other hand? For example, Google's logo colors all being used in the same design. That's where I think it resembles a creative work and could be copyrighted.

Give Joplin a try

Thanks for the explanation.

Now for my next question: Out of all the other posts out there right now, how on Earth did my little inquiry catch your eyes? ;-)

Yes, I've noticed this as well.

I'm interested to know what causes submissions like this - content that is years old and posted with no context - to hit the first page on a random day.

Having just woken up feeling like shit, I think the first question should be whether or not you just woke up and if the answer is "yes" it should prompt you for water instead of food. Most people are dehydrated after sleeping through the night and don't realize it.

Pain and simple: become busy doing something else.

How did you manage to keep the documentation from going stale or efforts being duplicated?

Linus:

> I'm interested in the project, but I think it's driven by people who are very excited about Rust, and I want to see how it actually then ends up working in practice.

> “I am really sorry about this. Ultimately, I am responsible for the content that goes on my channel and I should have done more here,” Rober said in the statement, adding that this was his first prank video. “I can vouch that the reactions were genuine when the package was taken from my house. Having said that, I know my credibility is sort of shot, but I encourage you to look at the types of videos I’ve been making for the past 7 years.”

Messages like these are so sad to read. The world will never realize how many people are working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep society moving forward.

Cheers to all of the silent (and sometimes not so silent) people that continue to give of themselves to make this world a more wonderful place in their own little way. You all are awesome and we literally couldn't go on with our way of life without you.

What does this mean, exactly?

Am I the only one that feels like this article (along with this resulting HN thread) is straight out of the Hey PR machine? I guess I just don't understand the value this type of post adds to the HN community.

What ever happened to Facebook's (or was it Netflix?) technology to create a new unit of time measurement to help align audio and video files? I believe it was called a "flick"...

^This.

Steve is an engineer's engineer. He provides subject matter expertise on a variety of topics relating to security, internet privacy, and computer hardware. For the things he doesn't know as well, he researches thoroughly and does not speculate at times when many others would find it easy to do so. I have learned a lot of useful things from Steve's podcast over the years and I strongly suggest that you give SecurityNow a listen.

> I think they're the major company with the fewest 9s of uptime.

I think this possibly shows that they have a good understanding of what's most important to their users. If they were to ensure the application was highly available (think six 9s), then they would be sacrificing resources elsewhere in order to achieve this. They could recognize that an outage will not be a "life or death" event for their users and have decided the trade-off was worth it.

Counterpoint: Or, they could just be lazy (or incapable) and haven't tried to solve for higher availability. This is not likely.

Read man pages!

These constitute a rabbit hole of extremely interesting documentation. They will help you improve as a developer, and more importantly broaden your horizons beyond what you ever thought was possible. Enjoy!

yEd with custom palettes, anyone?

LLC is there right answer for most businesses, but without any more detail it's hard to say with complete certainty.

It's also hard to say with certainty because I'm not a lawyer, just a person who has done this many times. That said, all the usual legal stuff applies that you should take my suggestion with a grain of salt. Good luck.

I hate clickbait titles like this where there is no current age listed for comparison to the age referenced. Is the student 18 or 9.5? The time scale matters.

This reminds me of how Apple notoriously omits axis values during presentations just to make prettier-looking graphs.

Link to tutorial?

This sounds like you're suggesting to p-hack.

"Let's just adjust our window because we know something is going to change and it would be interesting."

Meanwhile, the results are voided.

It's seemingly minor adjustments like thesr that have been causing tons of incorrect data to get published in science for way too long now.

> This is not offline, but offline seems silly given today's technological options:

Agreed. There aren't many places where you'll be technically limited in today's world.

However, let's say your're in prison and wants to communicate privately to the outside world. Or, you're in a place where the government is actively/extensively monitoring all technology mediums (to the extent that they could even get your private keys). What are your best options?

Louisville's representatives likely missed that because they were wearing rose-colored glasses. They were thinking "big picture" about would a successful project could mean for the city and were ignoring the details. They were probably (rightly?) assuming that an organization like Google would be able to learn from their mistakes and "this time would be different". Really, it's hard to fault them for thinking this way, but just like every other situation in business, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

There's something ironic about a social media company being forced to rely on a competitor to facilitate communication between them and their users.

My 3 year old literally just asked for a bucket for his dirt.

> do developers still refer to their job as "IT" in some places?

Yes, we do. In fact, some of our employers insist on labeling us as IT Developers specifically. I imagine that in a decade or two we'll update our titles to something like AI Developers.

You might ask, which employers? Think of the biggest, oldest, slow-moving private- and public-sector organizations that you can think of. While they might have certain divisions that are innovative, most of them are trapped in the past.

And these groups employ A LOT of individuals. More and more new developers are coming on board every day. This means that the number of IT developers could actually be growing...if that term isn't killed off first.

Who is doing all of the liquidation work if all founders and employees have moved on?
