Yep! Very different. Chainmail is stainless steel, so it doesn't rust. Its also much more coarse than steel wool.

Brillo pads have soap, which you don't want because it takes the grease (read: seasoning) off the pan. They also rust quickly when you leave them out, which can discolor things.

I really like the GitHub desktop app. Although, I honestly I could care less about the fancy new graph feature. I would rather they had added a couple of simpler, more useful features:

• the ability to organize repos by organization or with custom folders/lists

• the option to open a repo in a new window by right-clicking on one from the list in the left column
>>He started to get angry with me and reply with things like “fuck you” and sometimes up to 8 texts in a row when I wouldn’t reply or would decline.

Given the above section, does this situation sound "PC-heavy" to you? The guy literally texted abuse at a person because they didn't respond to his advances. The fact that this person was scared or didn't want to cut professional ties is evidence that something is wrong here with the situation, and not the person themselves. How do we live in a society where people fear saying no to a harasser, and people still seem to come in to bat for those harassers?

The problem is: when you are mutating the structures as part of the script, and you are accessing the results of those mutations, you can't just "apply them at the successful termination of the script". The successful termination requires that the mutations be visible - aka the mutations already applied.

In a relational database this isn't normally a big deal, because the structures themselves (rows and indexes) are already versioned, and most rows are of a relatively-small size. So rows typically work well for intent/write-ahead logs, old/new version logs, etc. But with Redis, operations aren't just on a "row", it's on a structure, and that structure can be gigabytes in size (I had a 30 gigabyte ZSET about 4 1/2 years ago, that was no fun during snapshotting, let me tell you).

Maybe not "github" repos, but other public git repos would pop up. Suggesting that open source wouldn't have distribution is ignorant of the origins of open source.
Wow, someone who worked at github extolling the virtues of github. What a wonderfully objective view.

Lots of companies throw money at some open source developers to continue developing what they were already doing. That doesn't make the company any more open source friendly. It just makes them a funding source for people doing the real work.

Contrast that with a company like Red Hat that bases everything on improving and supporting open source. People used to give them crap for RDO, but that's nothing compared to closed ecosystem github built on top of open source.

Github is just as supportive of open source as Stackoverflow (superficially). They just get a lot of credit by association for real open source products hosted on their platform.

You don't need to use a buyer's agent, but it's usually a good idea to have someone at less theoretically looking out for your interest. If you use the seller's agent, that one agent has a big conflict of interest. If you have a real estate attorney (which isn't very common in california, but may be in Australia), then I wouldn't see needing an agent as well.

Currently, the traffic does seem to have settled and is pretty low. But that's considering that I'm not putting any more work since I'm more interested in newer projects.

Selection bias is an important factor to consider why emigrant societies are seen as industrious, innovative and ultimately successful.

If you survived an oppressive homeland government, escaped harsh socio-economic living conditions, bootstrapped yourself (or your family) out of illiteracy, invented creative ways to succeed the stowaway journey, brave the xenophobia of an alien culture, solidified your determination to "stick around" ... chances are you are already in the group that has the top 5% of successful leadership across the world.

I sort of "version" or segregate my $HOME directory into a separate Workspaces directory in my real home for which I then have a script to activate a particular work space. For the most part, this script just sets $HOME and execs a new /bin/bash. This works pretty well. Most everything respects the new $HOME and works from there (so far only SSH and Java seem to ignore this to which I think I could fix Java by setting $JAVA_OPTS and explicitly setting the user.home property). On OS X I can install a separate copy of homebrew for each work space and have only the packages in each work space that I need or want. I was really looking forward to doing the same thing with Nix when I recently switched to Linux at my new job, but was very disappointed to find out that it really wanted to be installed somewhere in the root file system.

Hooli.xyz easter egg
If you're looking at new compression ideas, take a look at FrameFree.[1] This is a technology developed around 2005 at Kerner Optical, which was an effects unit of Lucasfilm. It's a completely different approach to compression, not based on frames. It's based on delaminating the image into layers which seem to be uniform in motion, then interpolating by morphing each layer, then reassembling the layers.

Because the interpolation operation is a full morph of a mesh, (which GPUs can do easily) you can interpolate as much as you want. Ultra slow motion is possible. You can also up the output frame rate and eliminate strobing during pans.

Kerner Optical was spun off as a separate company, then went bust. The technology was sold off, but nobody could figure out how to market it. The delamination phase turned out to be useful for 2D to 3D conversion, which was popular for a while. But Framefree as a compression system never went anywhere after Kerner tanked. Nobody is doing much with it at the moment, and it could probably be picked up cheaply. At one point, there was a browser plug-in for playback and an authoring program, but they're gone. I'm not sure who to contact; the "framefree.us" domain is dead. the "framefree.com" domain is dead. Here's its last readable version: [2] The remnants of the technology seem to be controlled by "Neotopy LLC" in San Francisco, which is Tom Randoph's operation.[3]

Statistics.

India has 1 billion people and English is the only language that they can use to communicate nationally. There are many regional languages in India but if you want a higher education or to expand your horizons beyond your native region, you learn English.

So, all other things being equal, there should be 3 or 4 Indians for every Americans. But all other things are NOT equal. In the USA, Indians are immigrants which gives them an additional boost, especially for jobs that are entrepreneurial in nature such as senior management.

If China ever switched to English as the official language of higher education, Americans would be relegated to cleaning toilets. Unless they themselves, emigrate and therefore get the immigrant advantage working on their behalf.

Look at European companies and you will see that some Americans are doing exactly that.

Technology is neutral, why do we have to focus so much on the negative aspects of it lately? I blame some of the "democratic" governments of the world for spreading massive propaganda about it, which now gets media sites to always want to cover that aspect, too, and often times even focus on that side of new technologies.

In reality, almost any technology has benefits that far outweigh the negatives, even if the negative stuff gets the bulk of the attention, just like the 5 o'clock news stuff which makes it look like the whole world is collapsing.

Bellona is a Norwegian environmental organization. They have worked quite a lot with nuclear safety in former Soviet union from the early nineties and onward, that got very problematic after the fall of the Soviet union (and really was before that too). In addition to their general anti nuclear stance, they distrust the Russians ability to do this safely in the first place as well. Given the safety record of russion nuclear power, that may not be taken out of thin air.
I found a few articles that backed it up for various companies, but they all used formulas like "total profit of mobile division per quarter / total number of phones sold", which seems like an awful metric. It's not like increasing the cost of a phone by 1¢ would double their profits.

With the same method, you can look at a bunch of Tesla's quarterly reports and say that they lose tens of thousands of dollars for every car they sell. It's marginally true, but not very informative.

Nope. It claims to speak from the perspective of economists but instead is pushing a panglosian, unilateral free trade agenda.

I think you mean that only the _seller_ pays the agent. But yes, I agree the American system is a bit odd. For one thing the listings are WAAAAYYY old by Australian standards - here you list your house with an auction or "sale by" date usually six weeks in the future, and ... it sells (usually). It looks to me like the American system has longer listings because there are fewer open-house inspections - your buyers agent arranges a time to inspect on your behalf, or something like that?
