Is that assumption always true in the age of climate change? New Zealand gets about 50 to 60% of its energy from hydro and there have been concerns about the viability of it during periods of drought.
Are you guys still working on the documentation ? I tried to setup a test Kubernetes cluster for a recent hackathon and couldn't get it to work. minikube kept cribbing that 'host only adapter we created cannot be found' ( I think this error is from docker-machine ) and the vsphere tutorial failed while trying to upload the vmdk file.

I've heard advice from #git on freenode not to use "git commit --amend", especially on shared repos.

I wish I still had a log of the conversation or remembered the exact problem that led up to it, but it involved a simple amend totally screwing up my repo, and I've avoided it since.

Yep, Mercurial's the one. It's a shame that it lost the war, they actually seemed to care about providing a good experience to their users. There are, of course, a few technical differences between it and git, but I personally never felt like they were troublesome enough to make up for the vast difference in usability.

I find the idea of nuclear retaliation rather unlikely. Even ignoring civilian casualties in the North, it is too close to population centres in the South not to mention Chinese and Russian territory.

I think a large conventional attack (with the blessing of China and Russia and possibly also their assistance) is far more likely. That is what I would do. However, you need to be reasonably confident that you can take out their ability to make further nuclear launches not to mention conventional attacks against the South. Remember that Seoul is within artillery range.

At this point, the consequences of not acting are probably greater than the consequences of attacking, but I don't see a scenario where it really ends well for anybody. Would the North take that risk? I certainly hope not, but as I said, I don't trust them to be rational.

You're conflating personal choice with discrimination. A contractual engagement between two people should ALMOST always be a matter of choice.

A business that you can walk into off the street should ALMOST never be able to discriminate.

A private individual, sure. I'll accept that argument.

But a corporation should have no such leeway. Companies exist for the mutual benefit of the citizens, and their shareholders. Just because we've lost that sense of ethic doesn't make it not true.

Now, the predominant view is "A company can fuck over whomever they want, as long as it lies within the confines of the law", is preposterous. Public corporations are already required to be sociopathic, given the legal requirement of profit (exception given to benefit corps).

Or in much more shallow words, "I'll believe corporations are people when they execute one in Texas."

Agreed, up to a point. Many film critics have never been directors or actors, and that doesn't detract from their criticisms.

But the OP is releasing this for free, and that helps other people. By crapping on their project with random, unfounded opinions, we discourage them from open sourcing their other code, and that makes the world a worse place. If you don't like an open source project and it's existence isn't doing the world any harm, then just be quiet and move on - or even better, release your own better version.

Amend after push, I could see. You commit, push, amend, push, but after your first push someone else pushes... then you have two heads. I could see that, but I'm guessing you'd mention that if it were the case.

If one were to attempt avoiding amend you could always make all changes in a feature branch and rebase this branch onto your target afterwards, squashing commits.

Go to Best Buy or Costco or any place they sell TV, they will educate you and demonstrate how it works.

If you try to balance speakers racially, you'll run into the problem that we often deliberately discriminate against certain minorities (usually the Chinese) in order to raise the technical value of talks by making sure the speaker can speak English clearly. In nearly all colleges, teachers and TAs in college must prove proficiency in speaking English before they can be hired to teach a class. This deliberately discriminates against foreigners who don't speak English well enough, or whose accents are too thick, for the students to understand.

Discrimination is not always bad. Discrimination is the morally-neutral act of comparing things on some criteria. Additional context is required to determine whether it is a bad use of discrimination. We should not strive to be inclusive of people who speak the conference language poorly, or, say, people who are crazy. Kevin's blog expressed concern over how to be inclusive of the mentally ill when choosing speakers. Was he joking? I don't know anymore.

Goodness yes. JIRA has become way too many things to way too many people. It's got a feature for everything, which means it's good at nothing. I'd rather just go back to bugzilla at this point.

The agile stuff in particular feels like a bolt-on. Its obvious that JIRA grew up from a simple bug tracker to a complete software development workflow engine. The pain points of its growth and add-ons are frustratingly obvious. It really needs a reboot.

I feel like Atlassian products are vulnerable to be picked off. There's going to be something that kicks it off its pedestal soon. Good riddance.
> To presume that one (or ones species) is the most important thing in the world (or universe) is basically the definition of narcissism

Humans are the most important things in the world. Why? Because I am a human. My family are humans. To me, and likely most people, humans are most important.

If I were an Otter and capable of self reflection I would likely think Otters were the most important things in the world.

Now this absolutely does not mean I don't value Otters. In fact I do. Otters are awesome! Just because I feel humans are the most important thing doesn't preclude me from having compassion to help other creatures. It's simply an order in which you find things important.

You've essentially manufactured a belief here (parent believes humans are most important therefore all others are in the way), projected it onto the parent and then became outraged by it.
They can be switched off, depending on how they were built. During the building process you have to create a diversion tunnel, as the water has to keep flowing while you are building them. They should also have ways of draining the reservoir. Also in my state (Idaho, which is largely powered by dams) we have removed a some of the older ones. I don't have any source materials for you, but I had to go thru a ton of dam tours as a kid to learn how the dams worked. We have also had a dam burst (Idaho Falls with the Teton Dam). But every dam is unique, you certainly cannot account for all of them.

Also, dealing with the flood plain, which the dams protect against, that is another story.
At a cursory glance, it seems to be GitHub specific. Any plans for BitBucket or GitLab support?
I look for a balance of several things:

Money. My life is kind of expensive right now (kids in high school and college), and I really need money.

But I also need time. I can't give you 80 hours a week for very many weeks. I've got a life outside of work.

And when I am at work, I don't have time in my life for people with toxic personalities, or for a ton of political BS. I expect people to be grownups at work; I've got enough teenagers at home.
Absolutely yes. Facebook has more members than entire countries and is the primary method that many of those people use to communicate. It has long surpassed any kind of protected walled garden and government absolutely has a say in how Facebook operates.
I don't think Brett Terpstra really gives a fuck.

As for Markdown, I'm a technical and marketing content writer and I use Markdown all day. I use it because it's easy to mark simple document elements like headers and formatting, it can be scripted so, for example, I can grab the URL of my most recent safari tab and use it to create a properly formatted link using the text I have highlighted with a keyboard shortcut, because I can easily export it to HTML, docx, or PDF depending, and because word processors suck for serious writing.

> Particularly listen to the music samples. That's a generated piano piece that sounds quite musical.

That blew my mind. I've heard computer generated music before, but it's been just synthesized with usual methods while the computer is just the "composer".

I find the crackling and buzzing a bit awkward, though. It's probably an artifact of the algorithm and can probably be mitigated with some simple filtering.
The recommendation to get a camera is a very good one. A camera used for an extended period of time is a very good teacher, and not only of seeing.

Do ... do you really consider this a rational reply?
Exactly. Being able to discuss what constitutes consciousness meets criteria handily because having a clear concept of self and other as well as being able to reason about that are both prerequisites.

It's sort of like the old question of what constitutes pornography? The border is fuzzy and unknown (in this case because people have different standards), but it's fairly easy to construct a case where the vast majority agree it's on one side or the other.

I'm from the South where this has been beat into us from youth. It's not fun to know that your state at one point seceded so the wealthiest elites could practice slavery. That and the Jim Crow laws are to our eternal embarrassment. The only good thing about it is our opportunity to learn from it.

I take some exception to your response, however, which seems very directed. There is not a single spot on this earth which hasn't had problems with racism, or a single one of us who has an ancestor who wasn't a racist. Latin America has its own problems with racism, as does Europe, Asia, and god-forbid even enlightened parts of the North and Pacific Northwest, too.

I don't disagree with your point, but I'm not sure of its relevance.

Agile was supposed to be a mindset without any enforced tools or practices. Use Jira or post it notes or whatever works for you with plenty of experimentation.

Unfortunately it is easier to force a tool on people and call it agile than change an organization.
Some of the nitpicking is funny, but the lede is kind of terrible: "Imagine if people from Kansas and California were as genetically distinct from each other as someone from Germany is from someone from Japan."

There are many options. You can use Googles GKE which manages the k8s cluster for you. You can use kops or Hyperkube for bare metal/aws.

Host monitoring you would utilize Kubernetes daemonsets which install whatever monitoring tool you want to use onto every single node in a cluster.
Wrong analogy. Newspaper does not offer a service of publishing customer letters. They offer a service of receiving and reading letters on premise that they may choose the letter to be published. It's a different story.

If a newspaper published all letters, then government could act on behalf of citizen to protect freedom of speech, by making sure there's no arbitrary censorship of publications.
> Though only US-americans (and Nazis, weird coincidence) think that genetic differences between humans mean that they are of a different race.

I don't even know what this comment is supposed to mean. Is it saying that other nations don't subscribe to the notion of "race?" Because that's complete BS, as anyone who has travelled outside of the US would know.

Do we bring up apartheid in South Africa? European colonialism, and their views on race? Chinese views on race? Racism in Brazil? Saudi Arabia? Russia? I'm just confused as to what you mean.

Here's a simple example: The Wikipedia article on Race (human categorization), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization), has a list of translations in the left column, with something like 60 languages listed. I can only read four others (Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese), but they all say pretty much the same thing as each other.

I think any person with any understanding of the subject can agree that scientifically, the categorization of humans into "races" is meaningless and absurd, but this certainly doesn't mean that people all over the world do have this social construct. And most cultures also have a long list of stereotypes and assumptions that they apply to different "races."
It's a completely independent country that simply chooses not to have an army. 60 years ago they decided that money would be better off being invested in their population, and now they are a posterchild for stable democracy, the wealthiest centroamerican country, and consistently ranked one of the happiest countries in the world.
Saying that interest rates are low because of businesses hoarding cash (as opposed to massive expansion of Fed balance sheet which by definition controls interest rates) is absurd. The Fed themselves acknowledge that their policies are why interest rates are low or negative!

The true problem is that QE represents a wealth transfer to the richest among us. New money (which is more powerful at its introduction into the money supply) is funneled directly into equity markets or into foreign markets, creating massive asset bubbles, enriching the rich and robbing the poorest through inflation.

To suggest that massive Fed bond buying is not THE cause of low interest rates is ridiculous.

It's much like rebasing, with a similar set of benefits and drawbacks.

Once other people can be expected to have done work based on your amended or rebased work, you can expect some annoyances (or worse). If you haven't pushed yet (or if you're really, really sure nobody's basing further work on something you've recently pushed), I say go crazy and amend and rebase to your heart's content.
I feel more secure by dealing with many individual files. For example in case of a conflict during sync, I can visually diff between the two pages very easily. This happens once in a while. Also for example if more than 5% of files have changed, the sync is stopped and asks for manual confirmation to prevent catastrophies.

SA’s Public Representatives Are All Hypocrites Hypocrites
As an introvert, "torture" is never how I'd describe my experience in groups (outside some training classes, but even most extroverts would agree). That's why I find the term useless. It's an umbrella term that people use to cover too many situations and conditions. And other self-proclaimed introverts will deny my claim of being an introvert because my experience isn't the same as theirs. I used to have a similar reaction to what you describe in crowds, it wasn't introversion, it was social anxiety. A separate, but related, condition. And then there's people suffering for milder conditions of depression, where solitude is a relief, and again gets conflated with introversion. They feel relief and conclude that the crowd or social scene was the problem, which is inaccurate (for their case).

We need more nuanced language to discuss this than just extrovert and introvert.
