Really cool! The fact that astronauts handled the landing in the Apollo missions is nerve wracking

Poetry is pretty much the way to go.

When can we have a usable search in GitLab?

This is exactly why secrets should not be stashed in any Git repository. Granted, I'm not sure they're much safer in other managed services dedicated to protecting our secrets, with the news of several breaches as of late :/

Wait where is self.count set, and is it 0 or 1?

GitLab migrations seem to be hard to pull off and rather time-consuming, but I found this tool automated and transferred my organization from GitLab.com to my self-hosted instance rather seamlessly. What have others used?

Same in Boston, MA, US

Was just about to post this, I'm seeing issues.

Very creative and original, but I don't think I want to plug any complete machine into mine, let alone over USB haha. This is sort of like passing out flash drives, and plugging it in hoping there's no malicious content.

This reads like a code style guide, but for math. E.g., like https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html

This is awesome haha

Thanks for providing this context, good to know.

This is probably the most toxic thread I've read on this site in a long time. Like wow.

Well-said. This ... makes me want to leave this HN story altogether.

Does anyone have any figures on what regular banking systems use for accepted/official currencies? I feel like this has blown up so much that it makes sense to compare and contrast.

I don't know how this would scale. Like, you can't deliver iron filings/powder efficiently via pipes, can you? Certainly not via existing infrastructure. Clogs would probably be certain.

Ugh I feel both sides.

Lol this is exactly the reason I bought a surfboard the first month I moved in, and it's already paid for itself (and it's very easy to configure - a phone call to their support, read 'em a barcode, and you're ready to go).

Maybe everything.

I spun this OS up as a VM and it does not detect my Wemo smart plugs. However, I'm also not able to detect them from my current phone (running v1.24, I believe, of the app). However, my former phone, which is still running v1.23.1 of the app, _is_ able to see them and connect to them.

Anyone else experiencing this same thing?

To be honest, this is the kind of post I'd write after a few beers when I'm not giving a shit and I think people have the right idea about something a lot of people would find controversial. Great post! You've made a real contribution here.

If I'm not mistaken, he is buried at Mt. Hope cemetery in Rochester, NY. I remember from my visits that he has two grave stones, each with a different birth date, because his real birth date is unknown.

Actually, according to the Wikipedia article, "The exact date of his birth is unknown, and he later chose to celebrate his birthday on February 14. In his first autobiography, Douglass stated: 'I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it.'"

Honestly, after seeing the first list comprehension, I can tell that this feature will probably increase code readability for me, but it's definitely going to take more thought to understand where values are coming from.

I agree. It's seldom something I've used in my scripts/small projects for this exact reason.

It should also be noted that there is a `while-else` compound statement as well, wherein using a `break` immediately exits the loop, without executing the `else` clause [1].

I liked the article's statement that "there were no more perches." Is that to say, then, that even birds that "perch" refused to do so on cliffs? Certainly, not all of the trees perished as well.

This sounds like individuals or groups of individuals covering their own rears instead of facing the problem for themselves.

It's very difficult to see product defects from behind a desk. And it's impossible to recognize the personal complications and difficulties that arise for people on the receiving end while looking at statistics and financial reports.

Reminds me of cell flagella.

More like the entire higher education system. This is what happens when businessmen run an education system and not True academics.

I don't understand why this is such a big story. It's not localized to academics.

Most factories in my area will start you off at less than $14/hr. Granted it's full time, but that's roughly less than $20k/yr after taxes, which is hardly enough to live on, let alone raise a family on. I worked for 6 months putting rolls of tape in a box for a smidgen over $10/hr. And at the end I walked out the door because there were no prospects of moving up.

Most of the people I know have (single?) parents who are in the same boat, making it almost impossible to move out on their own. Plus, you need reliable transportation, and vehicles are expensive. For someone just getting out of high school it's likely not an option.

Basically what I'm saying is, there are a lot of barriers that any employer would need to help overcome (wage being perhaps the biggest part) before you see any changes in this sector of society.

No kid my age wants to be a drug dealer. I don't care who you are or how poor your home life was. I would much rather go to work, get a loan for a half-decent (or even somewhat nice) vehicle that'll last me a decade if I take care of it, have my own apartment so I can have a few friends or my girlfriend over, etc.

I wouldn't say my generation is lazy. I just don't think factories or employers in general should require stable state of mind or hard work without paying enough to really make a difference in someone's life, i.e. enough to support a stable, independent way of life.
