If you want to be serious about this, use a self-hosted CI/CD server such as TeamCity, and then mirror all dependencies on a local git server (Go supports GOPROXY variable, but you can also probably fiddle with local DNS and self-signed certs, so that any mention of github.com forwarded you to the local server). This way, it's more controllable: if github.com is down or some repo is deleted, the CI/CD server won't even notice it.

Two corrections:

1. Fossil repositories are explicitly not relational, they are however stored in SQLite databases. The data model for everything SCM-relevant (that also includes all content like tickets, wiki, forum) is stored as artifacts in a blob table (+ delta), which references other artifacts by hash value, and that provides the referential integrity. That, and the code that handles it. There are relations (via auxiliary tables) to speed up queries, but these tables are transient, get updated by inserting new artifacts, and can be regenerated from the artifacts.

(Users and their metadata, and configuration is not part of this scheme, so these tables might be viewed as relational tables. They are local-only; and not synced.)

See https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/fossil-is-not-rela... and https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/tip/www/theory1.wiki for more details.

2. There are no other databases like PostgreSQL to choose from.

Those people simply don't drive into Manhattan, parking is already $30-$40 a day, driving from Jersey means you are already paying at least a $15 toll (you can drive from Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx without paying a toll). An extra $9 simply doesn't matter.

Already 85% of commuters to lower Manhattan take public transit. Of the remaining 15%. An analysis found that only 2% of working poor New Yorkers would pay the charge. Otherwise low income New Yorkers would overwhelmingly benefit from the better transit funding

The number 239 appears in the headline, and nowhere else.

I think we're meant to infer it from the sentence "Hue is endpoint-exclusive (because 360° = 0°) whereas Saturation and Luminance are endpoint-inclusive (because 1.0 is achievable)." They could have left in 240 if they wanted to; it would just duplicate 0.

The thing about twitter is once you do pay for a checkmark, you get a ton of traction and boost. And there is a certain amount of logic to it; if you're willing to pay $8 how badly do you really want to grow your reach.

It is frustrating though, because it makes it slightly harder to find communities of people who just want to have fun but it's better for people trying to grow a service.

I feel like its often people talking past each other.

I currently live in NYC and am very congestion pricing. Cars are a major negative to most people in the city.

But I have also lived in rural parts of America. Yes, it is annoying you can't walk to a corner store, but cars are not that big of a deal. You can bike or run in the streets without concern that cars will come by. And housing is so cheap it makes it so worth it.

It creeped me out that I didn’t find a camera in the bedroom. There was one pointing at the bathroom and one at the general living room and kitchen area. The bedroom had so many decorations that I couldn’t tell if there was a hidden camera. I made sure to only change in the bathroom with the door closed, but I (female, traveling alone) still felt uneasy. Up until then I stayed in Airbnbs plenty of times but I haven't stayed in one since then and don't plan to unless there's no other choice.

That's not even remotely true. Which I only found out two paragraphs into this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_New_York_City_S... because it was apparent to me that you leaving out the rest of the story (i.e. why the city took over the subway) was misleading.

I take about 50 supplements a day no I am not listing them and none of them are listed in this document. I do recognize one of them, Centrum and would never take any of those multi-vitamins. They and others like them contain the lowest quality versions of vitamins and are a risk of prostate cancer in males due to the existence Alpha-Tocopherol without a balance and Gamma-Tocopherol and Selenium. Go down that rabbit hole if you dare on nih.gov.

I do actually check who makes each of mine and they are made by the same labs that produce all the prescription drugs. I have mixed feelings about that as cross contamination is a thing but thus far I have been lucky AFAIK.

On a semi-related topic I am curious what happens what happens should there be blockades or excessive tariffs and sanctions on China and India. Where do people get both supplements and prescription drugs? Some prescription drugs have some nasty rebound effects if one quits cold-turkey in one day, potentially lethal even. That's one of the primary reasons I managed to get myself off prescription drugs. I can not stockpile them by multiple cases. Triple prescriptions just doesn't cut it for me.

Without the proper philosophical/historical context[0] the final part of Hilbert's speech and its end slogan (Wir müssen wissen. Wir werden wissen.) cannot be fully appreciated.

The "simultaneity of the nonsimultaneous" (to borrow from Bloch) in 1930: the triumphant and festive present (Hilbert) confronting the past (Du-Bois-Reymond) with fate already sealed (Gödel).

The past:

>Du Bois-Reymond's investigations of electrical properties of the nervous system had led him to long-standing fundamental questions, especially the nature of matter and force and the relationship between mental phenomena and their physical aspects. He recognized scientists’ general belief that when we do not know a solution—ignoramus in Latin—nevertheless, under certain circumstances, we could know. However, he countered, concerning riddles of the material world such as these two, we must decide in favor of a harder truth: ignorabimus—we shall never know. Du Bois-Reymond reported later that his 1872 speech had excited considerable controversy and his ignorabimus slogan had become a sort of shibboleth in natural philosophy.

The present declaration by Hilbert:

>[...] This conviction of the solvability of every mathematical problem is a powerful incentive to the worker. We hear within us the perpetual call: There is the problem. Seek its solution. You can find it by pure reason, for in mathematics there is no ignorabimus.

And then the barely noticeable turn of events:

>Besides the meeting of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Physicians, the other three conferences at Königsberg in early September of 1930 were:

Second Conference on Epistemology of the Exact Sciences,

Annual Meeting of the German Mathematical Society, and

Annual Meeting of the German Physical Society.

The first of these was the most momentous of the four, a major step in bringing the adherents of the Vienna Circle of philosophers to both inner agreement and public notice. Their program challenged and eventually helped supplant much of the type of philosophy discussed and developed in the German universities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. On September 6, two days before Hilbert’s speech, the young Austrian logician Kurt Gödel (1906-1978) presented his completeness theorem, which filled a major gap in Hilbert’s finitist foundation of mathematics. In a round-table discussion on the next day, the day before Hilbert spoke, Gödel modestly announced his first incompleteness theorem.

Sigh. It's like one of those clickbait YouTube videos (10 Reasons Why Modern Movies SUCK!) but with big words and literary citations to make it seem more respectable. The author completely disregards historical and traditional storytelling to squeeze every possible type of story into a vague narrative of commercialism.

> Franchises, sequels and box-set formats are extending stories in multiple directions to eke out ever more revenue, bringing to mind Musk’s intergalactic ambitions, which imply there’s a franchise option for human life: late capitalism, it would seem, respects neither narrative nor planetary boundaries. ‘It’s outrageous, really,’ Yorke says of endless sequels. ‘If you think of it in basic terms, a story is a question and answer, dramatised. And when the question is answered, there is nowhere else to go.’

Arthurian legend, Robin Hood, the Greek pantheon, Sun Wukong, Coyote? Trash. No, shared worlds are a modern invention by commercial entities looking to make a quick buck. A story is a question and an answer after all.

> Annabel ends the day much as she started it, the essay incomplete (although Brown does not reject story structure altogether: Annabel relaxing her grip on her timetable is an enlightenment of sorts).

> [...]

> Even art-house films that self-consciously depart from the three-act structure nonetheless define themselves against it.

So we're using 'three act structure' to mean 'something changes between the beginning and end'. By that definition, yes, movies do tend to be pretty samey in structure.

> Being told a story is to be infantilised, somewhat: to suspend one’s critical faculties. In contrast to polemic, stories are covertly persuasive. Even if their message is good for us, the sugaring of the pill represents a lowering of intellectual expectations.

I don't have a snarky comment for that bit, it's funny enough on its own.

It's hard to make a substantive and non-nitpicky comment on the article because there is no cohesive point being made here. It's a random collection of vague ideas that don't mean anything at all when put together, using criticism of modern film as a loose framework - yet written by someone who clearly is not interested in exploring the wide world of film and its fringes where the interesting stuff accumulates.

Because you'd scream your head off like other HNers when a news article "100 million users private photos uploaded to Facebook and Genshin Impact!!!!" appears and would demand Google policing.

That is always the counter but that is not the promise of these tools to be as bad as humans are. Humans can also work their way through it. The context ruts these tools get into with terraform specifically they can never dig out of, it's pretty much worthless for it, at least as many times as I've tried. You will waste far more time trying to figure out where it messed up on something dead simple than if you just looked over a colleague's shoulder, who probably wouldn't run into the same kinds of basic mistakes like making up fields.

OMG you actually believe that. I am perennially surprised how little anyone knows about what actually happens in European governments. I hope one day Continental Europe will catch up with 1990s-2000s America and publish their law (including binding opinions) in machine-readable formats, but we know that will never happen because it encourages comments like yours. Ignorance is bliss.

Are you sure it ISN'T available?

It's the norm in my "City" of 60k that nobody ever thinks about.

Fuck, it was the situation with the contracted, private buses used to shuttle people back and forth in my split campus college.

Is it available where you are and you just don't realize?

It's a service that any municipality can purchase.

"silk is cloth" is not true except for the colloquial interpretation that infers "silk can sometimes be a cloth". Given the clarifications, it seems the OP is intending to say it's an exact equality and not a colloquial definition that actually means "subset".

I'll note, I have not asked any questions other than (paraphrasing): "what do you mean precisely?" To which, I have not gotten any answers other than trolling and flaming; and examples that all conveniently swap "is" with "is a".

Or is it to make even more profit on the backs of prisoners & their families for companies who win juicy contracts from the government? This was being done by private companies before fentanyl.

Uh-huh. Meanwhile, people reverse engineering the firmware are repeatedly saying it's x86. For example, https://puri.sm/posts/deep-dive-into-intel-me-disablement/

Are you perhaps looking at some slides from Cyber@UC Meeting 81, held Jan 16 2019, located at https://www.cyberatuc.org/files/slides/meeting_081.pdf which clearly say

> Physically separate processor embedded within the x86 processor that runs a custom MINIX image

and misreading that as saying more than what it does?

And those slides link to more resources saying it's an x86.

It's sort of weird, because taken to its logical conclusion (nobody drives into lower Manhattan) they would be collecting nothing. They are disincentivizing the thing that they are counting on to provide revenue.

Of course, practically that will not happen, but it could be that they are overestimating the long term revenue stream. As more and more people get used to not driving into downtown, that will become the habit, and then their kids won't be used to it and they won't do it either.

This might be helpful: I haven't implemented it in the UI, but from the API response you can see what the word definitions are, both for the input and the output. If the output has homographs, likeliness is split per definition, but the UI only shows the best one.

Also, if it gets buried in comments, proper nouns need to be capitalized (Paris-France+Germany).

I am planning on patching up the UI based on your feedback.

By this logic:

- I buy stock that doesn't perform how I expected.

- I hire someone to produce art.

- I pay a lawyer to represent me in court.

- I pay a registration fee to play a sport expecting to win.

- I buy a gift for someone expecting friendship.

Are all gambas.

You aren't paying for the result (the win), you are paying for the service that may produce the desired result, and in some cases one of may possibly desirable results.

Pretty much every game and every social media app asked for full storage access under the guise of "downloading game files" or "allowing our photo picker to work".

Then they got free access to all your photos and their location data and all your documents and downloads. Yes, including those banking statements downloaded as PDFs. Forever. In background. Whenever.

That's the access Nextcloud demands instead of using the API where YOU choose what it can read.

Blender itself is also over 20 years old. And it struggled a lot even when opt source until several things came together at once. A mix of a UX overhaul, autodesk pissing off the community, and outreach yielding fruit as corporations experimented with adoption.

I'm not sure if we had that perfect storm in game engines yet. Unity fumbled big time, but Godot wasn't quite mature enough to fully take advantage of that opportunity.

> I've never had a problem with someone who seems to be unhoused (I wouldn't know).

It's not unusual to never have problems with the homeless (especially if you rarely come into contact with them), but your personal experience here is worthless. Especially irrelevant is your experience of people in SUVs with phones. Not knowing if the people around you are homeless is not a sign of open-mindedness, it's a sign of a possible lack of sensitivity.

People who are homeless are going through issues, and are largely being shunned and ignored by the public. They often became homeless because they were impossible to live with. The ones most likely to be around you, in your space, and that you're likely to clock as homeless are the most aggressive, because homeless people with all their marbles generally make an effort not to seem homeless and don't ask strangers for anything. They die quietly, off alone in a corner, unless someone saves them first.

And rationally, which I discovered myself as a homeless teenager 30-some years ago: you'll never meet, or help, the homeless people who aren't pestering you and bothering you and invading your space.

So when visible homeless people are being talked about, there's no reason to completely avoid drawing any conclusions or making any generalizations about them. I feel it's a clumsy attempt to avoid judging people based on their wealth, but there are many other homeless people in the same position as visibly homeless people, but who are not visible. Pretending that the visually homeless are completely indistinguishable from other groups of people is just a form of active neglect. Pretending not to see them does not make them disappear.

> How do you "accidentally" end up saying something that implicates you in discrimination on the basis of legally protected characteristics - what are some examples of that?

Say you say it was for failure to meet a specific performance standard (because that is the documented reason); then the ex-employee has a starting point for an discrimination claim by looking for evidence that trnds to support the claim that people who differ on some protected-from-discrimination axis who failed to meet that standard were not fired. No reason given, no starting point. In theory, this policy helps make false nuisance claims more work and less likely, but a substantive reason for it is that HR knows that they cannot eliminate all prohibited acts by managers that would create liability, so making it harder to get a starting point for gathering evidence is important to prevent valid claims from materializing. HR policy does not exist to protect employees from unlawful treatment, it exists to protect the company from liability for such treatment. Sometimes thise two interests align, but when it comes to information about firing decisions they do not.

There’s similar things that can be done with other prohibited reasons for dismissal, loke retaliation; but the idea is any information you give makes it easier for them to make a case against you.

This is also, in reverse, why, as a departing employee (whether departing voluntarily or not), you should never participate in an exit interview or, if you must as a condition of some severance or other pay or benefit, never volunteer any information beyond the bare minimum necessary; one significant purpose of such interviews is to document information useful either for potential claims against you or to defend against any potential claims you might have, including those you have not yet discovered, against the company.

It's not really culture fit. I've used the open ended test before and it was a good filter for "can they walk the walk". Just some basic text processing, but only few people cared to mention error checking, tested Unicode behaviour, included any documentation, etc. It's "will you do the usual things without explicit prompting". (The assignment explicitly said you can call them out as something to do without fully implementing to save time)

> Riding in your car is likely the most dangerous thing you'll do

Not even remotely close. Anytime you elevate your feet more than 6' of the ground you can fall and kill yourself. This is 2x more common than vehicle fatalities and is in the category of "accidental self inflicted injury." The third most common cause of death. Vehicles are like #11. You're more likely to commit suicide than die in a car accident.

When he said your emails could be stored in a fake database or loaded in memory it was obvious they didn’t want something over complicated.

No one likes over engineering, it can come off as egotistical, indulgent and more importantly a sign of technical debt lurking ahead.

Your proposal is long winded, you’re not the only applicant these people are looking at my guy.

I’m not sure what Fargate is (nor care) or even why you suggested AWS and all that other jazz but you clearly went overboard. No one wants a developer where you ask them for A and they return A B and a half finished C.

Yes, you’re allowed to ask questions but the ones you asked showed signs of overthinking and lack of initiative.

I think negative value would look something like bombing someone. Negative relative-[commodity-]value does not imply negative value.

Also, software is not a commodity at all. There's no cost to reproducing it.

>one of the writers mentions that they would insert superfluous details into the script (i.e names of people and places) so that they could tie future story developments back to earlier episodes and seasons, making it seem to the viewer like the entirety of the show had been worked out from the start, and that the writers had been dropping hints along the way.

I always wondered if writers do that stuff. Even with novels, I wonder if they go back and add details in or plan from them way back at the start.
