imbiased··on Spain and Portugal power outage: what caused it, and was there a cyber-attack?
missed that, a valid point, thank you

imbiased··on ' first' open-source ARMv9 motherboard surfaces – Radxa Orion O6
Isn't that their work, the design of the board? The ARM isn't theirs, they can't open source it. That's valuable. I'm guessing that anyone that wants to design another ARM board can leverage this work.
imbiased··on Tell HN: BuildZoom posts jobs on HN, but no actual openings available
I've been seeing job posts for them coming up at the top of HN and I always wondered what was going on. Roles often repeating, like Principal Engineer, posted for years now, look:

imbiased··on Ask HN: How do you ask users about their pain point?
Find where those people are. E.g. popular healthcare forums, maybe Facebook groups, etc. Go to healthcare events in person, all those people will be there to chat.

I've had luck in another field, finding a very popular forum online that those in the field used. I simply introduced myself and offered to do IT work on their offices as a chance to meet people and learn more about the industry. It worked wonders.

imbiased··on Canada will reach 40M population by the end of this year
It’s actually possible it’s all those reasons, with some contributing more than others
imbiased··on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Release
On an off for a while too but I'm hoping it keeps this way and it never finishes. It's not the destination, it's the journey
imbiased··on Tax raids at BBC offices in India enter second day
I didn't determine, but the BBC has a well deserved reputation as do its journalists. Also if Modi had nothing to hide, why these persecutions as opposed to focusing on disputing alleged facts with evidence

exactly, it's what I wanted to point out but you did it better
imbiased··on Tax raids at BBC offices in India enter second day
So in your logic anyone can say whatever they like and there is no control at all, so lies can spread by malicious actors. I disagree and value this minimal control when exercised properly with checks, which is the case in europe

The Iranian government was already known to be terrible to its people. The Saudis ordering an assassination _abroad, using their embassy, in such a violent way on a dissident_ made a lot of people aware of the problem that was the new Saudi regime which had some Western alignment. It’s not that this death was more important, it’s just revealed a big change in Saudi Arabia

And you're not alone, I feel the same since ~2015

imbiased··on Tell HN: Tweets no longer seem to be properly indexed by Google
It's not what you're saying but it feels a bit unrelated in that it doesn't mean that it is not useful for Google to index tweets. More likely than one wanting to find a specific tweet, is one wanting an answer or pages related to a query where one does not care about where the result is hosted, and I would rather not search across several sites separately.

imbiased··on Fedora 30
What release version was that? I started experiencing issues in 29, but has been rock solid otherwise.
imbiased··on Learning JavaScript in 2018
OP here. I can relate to this on other domains. But maybe in some cases Lego-like app delivery is enough? In my case I really mostly want to do simple static sites now (and build up experience to make more complex apps soon), the reusable components of React and the static site generation means one can work with a limited subset of JS and do _something_. Not aiming to be a specialised Frontend dev.

It's hard to do a compromise when needing to know other parts of the stack (backend, DS, devops). Perhaps in several scenarios one can be happy with some Lego-like apps (pareto rule) and hire specialised frontend devs when needed?

imbiased··on How to Version-Control Jupyter Notebooks
Pweave seems to give the same as RMarkdown but for Python and other languages: https://github.com/mpastell/Pweave. Examples: http://mpastell.com/pweave/examples/index.html
imbiased··on How to Version-Control Jupyter Notebooks
Have you tried https://atom.io/packages/ide-python for autocompletion/inline documentation? It uses https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi. Also I'd be surprised if those things aren't done properly in VSCode with Python extension(s).

edit: Atom IDE (that this package links to) has been deprecated last week or so by Facebook, I'm not sure what dependencies packages like the above have on the atom-ide-ui.

imbiased··on How to Version-Control Jupyter Notebooks
It’s missing that one can use Hydrogen and avoid this problem: https://nteract.io/.

Export isn’t great atm but can be combined with pweave: http://mpastell.com/pweave/docs.html

I think VSCode has something similar.

This gives another advantage of using a proper editor and its entire ecosystem.

imbiased··on Facebook retires Nuclide Atom extension
Good point. Although an OSS maintainer can be strict and refuse contribs on features they don't want to support. And by breaking down Nuclide, some individual packages like the Python debugger etc, probably can be very well defined and have a significant overlap between what they (Facebook) and other companies want, without much room for deviation. As opposed to say the general VCS support (they mostly want Mercurial that Facebook uses internally, whereas most outside users use git).

It still needs your requisite that contribs are of high quality.

imbiased··on Facebook retires Nuclide Atom extension
Ok sorry, the atom-ide-ui package is dead. I’m not sure how the IDE features are split between the ui and individual language server packages
imbiased··on Facebook retires Nuclide Atom extension
This would mean things (compile, run, debug, etc) would be done on the local machine, not on the remote one. Not to mention the network lag if a huge codebase.
imbiased··on Facebook retires Nuclide Atom extension
Thanks for sharing. Curious if Nuclide is omitted because it's a given, or isn't used much internally now (https://mobile.twitter.com/amasad/status/1072930703065501696)
imbiased··on Facebook retires Nuclide Atom extension
A shame, in an ideal world there would be the benefit of outside contributions that made less internal work needed, so overall would be a win for Facebook. But probably this is related to Atom itself being taken over by VSCode, the number of users (and maybe contributors) appears to be going down. I wonder if Atom Xray will ever come out https://github.com/atom/xray
imbiased··on Facebook retires Nuclide Atom extension
Can you update the title to add Atom IDE?

Perhaps more important than Nuclide itself are the Atom IDE extensions which are also being retired. https://ide.atom.io/
