Two things, that's also an advantage... and the vast majority of programmers I know have a github account anyway. Github has made it very easy to access/port everything in and out if you choose to do so.

Git itself is decentralized. Some of github tools are centralized, but that has both advantages and disadvantages, and I and a lot of others feel the advantages outweight the latter.

The Bay Area and Southern California are incredibly huge areas - The vast majority of travelers between the two are not going 'downtown-to-downtown'.
wrong, at least in the case of america. This poem from 1883, this was on the St. of Liberty, which was errected in 1886 [1]. "give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses". They didn't have means. There were the people who wanted to prevent the racially inferior from coming here, like italians, before them irish, etc. We aren't that america still, in 2016. 133 years later.

"Within the states of US"

That's implying interstate travel. Are you claiming ICE has authority to stop someone going from Georgia to Tennessee? The analogy was EU countries to US states, and specifically did not include international US borders.
It is hardly trivial to move off. Bugs would have to be migrated, links updated, documentation, automated build systems, workflow as well as user remapping.

While not being Mercurial is one thing it is really more about being on GitHub that is the problem. Kings will get complacent (remember how long it took to GitHub to add some features).

I also vaguely remember the github guys trashing Mercurial with arguabley a propaganda campaign (something "git is better than X"). All that content is missing now but I do remember (I'll have to look on way back machine later).
Important fact is that the whole automotive industry is built on heavy outsourcing. Typical car manufacturer only manufactures the car body, maybe engine and does the final assembly. For everything else not only the manufacturing but also R&D is outsourced.

> The answer to problems of noise is to enforce noise ordinances. Guests will keep quiet if they are told that the town hands out $500 fines for violations of decibel levels after curfew.

Because as we know, if there's one easy thing to get, it's "pay later" fine money from tourists. And if there's one thing that really sparks police springing into action, it's an urban noise complaint.

> There are simple market and incentive based solutions but so many Americans are so quick to jump on the "Ban! Regulate!" knee jerk train these days.

"$500 fines for violations of decibel levels after curfew" is a regulation - what twisted world is it where something involving the word 'curfew' isn't considered a regulation?
Just because you can get it, it doesn't mean that this is efficient and fast enough to do when you are browsing through the directories.
Now imagine the slowness, since caching this doesn't even make remotely sense for many repos.
I recognize that it might fail and ensure that failing is not the end of the world. If the project does fail then I make sure I learn from it for future projects. I wrote a blog post on a failed project a while back that covers some of this. Recognizing why you failed and learning from it is all that matters: https://hungryadmin.com/a-failed-projects-postmortem.html
They will be much more likely to walk 10 minutes from the train to something interesting than to do the same thing in the same distance from and airplane.
It's not true. Even if they start with very different calorie needs for the same lifestyle that will even out once their weight changes. The more you weigh the more calories you need and the less you weigh the less you need. That's where the myth of metabolism slowing down after weight loss comes from btw: you just need less calories after some time of dieting so your progress will slow down or steak stall if you don't adjust.
Yes, take a look at them before you go in for an inspection. Lest they tear them and try to gouge you for replacements because they are suddenly streaking.
Realise that by not risking failure, you fail automatically.
Obama quietly signed the following in January: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/294...
While I agree with the spirit of your post, I think you are taking the argument too far in places. For instance, we are a small team of devs and Docker solved a real problem for us. Our deployment was once on bare OS and it was a nightmare. Different distributions, different library versions (with their own sets of bugs)... Unfortunately we couldn't demand a specific environment from our customers and at the same time it drained our resources trying to accommodate all installation variants. When Docker came out we tried it out, saw that it solves all these issues beautifully and never looked back. But we use it only because it insulates our installation from Linux (apart from the kernel that is), not because it is hip.

More general advice is: take G, A, FB, NF... papers (and HN posts, while we are at it ;) ) with a grain of salt, test before use and make sure it solves more problems than it creates - for you.
What would certainly help is adhering to the WHO recommendation of having a maximum of 25g (0.9 ounces) of sugar daily.
I would not even call it a failure, some things are infeasible, economically non-viable, etc. Try to de-risk projects to see if they fall into those categories. Figure out the major barriers and try to de-risk them one by one. If you run into a real barrier, also don't hesitate to end the project. Sometimes "failure" is the best option.

I don't think that data flow is a higher level of abstraction to control flow. They're just different types of abstraction, and each has its strengths and weaknesses.

If you only ever work on things that map well to functional programming then you'll naturally think it's superior to imperative programming. Likewise, if you only ever work on things that map well to imperative programming, then the functional programming approach seems a bit silly.

Incremental analysis in PVS-Studio: now on the build server
Like I said I don't argue with merits of github greatly widening the audience but I like said in other sibling threads github is more than just the source control itself: it is bugs, content, workflow, etc.

I guess I'm just becoming more Stallman in my age but I don't like my development life turning into Facebook. I can't even communicate with a large portion of family and friend with out resorting to using FB. A platform without doubt tracks the hell out of you. And you could argue the web is decentralized (aka your comment Git itself is decentralized) so Facebook is not that bad but is it? Does that really matter?
Most of these points don't apply as much to purpose-build high-speed passenger rail lines (which is part of why they are so expensive: you don't just throw a level crossing through a street, they require extensive building to isolate them to mitigate these things, and if you already have a street grid that isn't prepared for it everything gets even more complicated)

I've lived less than 50 m from one for quite a while, and cars on the road inbetween were worse than passing high-speed trains. Freight trains or old, slow trains were another thing.

Cara Membuat Senjata MP7 Di Game Point Blank
Having worked on legacy corporate code...I find it is often easier to just observe products and reverse engineer them, rather than try to understand/extend existing code. I would generally prefer to reverse engineer+rebuild. Existing code isn't always great code, it may not even be correct code.

And if your code really is that good and so unique that someone might want to steal it, perhaps you should try to extract it and product-ify it. Possibly as an open source project.
A drive to a store to buy oil has a larger co2 footprint than the butter producing cow. That make the butter eating cyclist a more ethical person than a oil buying driver, if we are going to argue co2 footprints.
Me personally? I never had that fear. I launched many things, and like with everybody else who launches things, most of them failed.

If you find yourself unable to launch stuff because of that specific fear, then I would say it has some extremely personal reasoning behind it, and maybe introspection would be helpful. Things that deeply ingrained are usually related to childhood and or family.

Ironically, I'd probably suggest some psychedelics as the fastest way to get to the bottom of it.

The model here isn't NPR or Wikipedia, it's Patreon and Twitch.

The former is traditional philanthropy, but the latter is an interactive way to support content creation. I'm not saying that those models will necessarily translate to Medium, but that certainly seems to be the idea.

I urge anyone that's curious to go give Twitch a quick look. Spend a good half hour in a few different channels. It's really interesting. Some of the streams are what you would expect: skilled gamers playing at a high level. But many of them are very creative in how the develop a community, how they interact with viewers and chat, and what sort of entertainment experience they provide. I think that most people will 'get it' if they watch for a bit. It's compelling entertainment, and lots of people are willing to throw a lot of money at it.

The point is that it's just an entirely different phenomenon from philanthropy. NPR and Wikipedia really have no place in this discussion because they are so different.

I know that this is not limited to the cruise ship industry and I do "vote with my dollar". Just as with avoiding cruise ships and resorts of this type I avoid cheap manufactured products coming from countries with questionable labor laws. It is hard to completely avoid this in our everyday life but I do as much as I can. I'm being mindful about it unlike some people who completely ignore these issues.

Those are covered under other bond measures. LA has a multi-generation plan [1] for building out several new rail lines, busways, etc. It's harder to find an overarching document for the Bay Area because there are too damn many counties and transit agencies around here, but there are lots of projects -- BART to San Jose, Caltrain electrification, new rail lines and improved lines in SF, rebuilding the Dumbarton Rail Bridge -- that are in various stages of planning and construction.

Just keep reminding yourself that if you never try, you've already failed.
You can't fail if you don't try at all. But you can't either succeed.
I was struck by the paragraphs about using film and transferring it using photoCD to get consistent lighting and scale. Oh my, digital photography really have changed things.

First, cost/benefit analysis to see if it's worth the effort (mental, financial, time).

If so, I commit to the project publicly and preferably make other people dependent on its success, because:

Fear of failing others > fear of my own failure.

I like lighting fires under my ass. Being chill and "whatever, it's a learning curve" doesn't help me get things done.
It sounds like 1) could've been partially avoided by going with an RPM-based distro.

4) and 5) would've been problematic on Windows, too (in fact, Windows would've struggled even more with 4).

Hopefully 2, 3, and the remainder of 1 will continue to improve, but they are indeed obstacles even today (users tend to get frustrated with Linux's "quirks", and the driver situation is still abysmal for printers and scanners, which are vital in offices; Wine is getting good enough to be a viable solution in some situations, but it's by no means a universal solution at this point).
I think it is an analogy (pick whatever you want from whichever supplier you want, without having to sub to them individually) more than an exact duplication.

Both can, should, and are being done. The California Water Project is rather adequately funded. The Oroville Dam problem is due to a pretty unprecedented winter, not a lack of maintenance. The emergency overflow seems to have held, at least for now, so with hope they can put in a fix for the spillway.
This is actually exactly how I do music discovery. I create seed playlists with maybe 5-10 songs and start the radio from that. Any songs that I like from the those stations get added to a separate playlist, unless I explicitly decide that I want that song to influence the future selection of songs.

Thumbs-up or thumbs-downing songs in a radio playlist will change the songs that show up, but I find just having a seed playlist is more reliable and repeatable and easier to fine-tune.

Thinking on the 3-2-1 backup strategy[1], the "2" refers to "two different mediums". Some say that means two different hard drives, but with articles like this I argue that it should be "two different forms of media."

Of course, that's just referring to my personal data. With media like what is covered in the article, copyright law (incl. the DMCA) comes in to play, potentially limiting your options.

Part of the fallout of this is likely that the electrification and modernization of Caltrain will die, since it's dependent on funding from the high-speed rail project.

Caltrain is currently running 30-year-old diesel locomotives and 30-year-old passenger carriages on many of its trains, because they have no funding to get more modern equipment or electrify the line. Minor breakdowns have been increasing for a while, with occasional major problems (like last week when they had a fire in one of the locomotives during the evening rush hour).
First, I'd love for Youtube to see more competition.

But, honestly what Youtube are you using? Despite the glut of kid-oriented content on the site, I see almost none of it. The hobby scene alone is a huge segment of the site and caters more to the 30-60 bracket than any other.
Hell, Microsoft already internally operates like that anyway. Might as well take it to its logical conclusion :)
The main spillway is out of action due to major erosion damage in its concrete flume. The power plant is shut down because the water level at the low end, in the diversion pool, is too high. So the two normal ways of releasing water are out of service. The emergency spillway is just a dirt hill near the dam with a concrete lip at the top.

There's a data feed from sensors at the dam.[1] "Level" is probably good data. "Out" flow rate may not be meaningful; the emergency spillway probably lacks a flow meter. Here's a plot of "Level".[2] When it's below 900, the auxiliary spillway should stop flowing. As of 2330, it's at 900 feet almost exactly.

That is awesome. Coincidentally, I've been spending my weekend revisiting my Z-80 based Nascom 2 (see http://nascomhomepage.com/) and playing with Turbo Pascal's great grandfather, BLS Pascal. Even now, ~ 35 years later, I still think good code generation on the Z-80 is a significant challenge and wonder what else could have been done with the transistor budget and technology constraints of the time.

"Why the EU spends billions to protect farmers but is not willing to spend millions to finish and maintain a nearly workable independent software infrastructure is beyond me."

Otherwise, I agree. This absolutely needs to be a public policy issue. Movements like the Pirate Party are a step in the right direction, and hopefully victories like in Iceland will prove to be more than just one-off occurrences.
Some people have irrational fears. But let's assume that your fear is rational. Failure in itself is not a bad thing. It's the only way to improve. Someone told me there is a saying in the game of go (and I bet in other games too ;-) ) When you first start learning, your strategy should be to lose your first 50 games as quickly as possible.

Even still, in the game of go (and many other games), some people are afraid to lose. They never play people who are better than them. Why do you suppose that is? It is a self defeating strategy because by never losing, they never improve. What could possibly be so important about a game of go that stops these people from allowing themselves to lose?

I think if you answer that question, you will be well on your way to answering your original question.

P.S. When I was teaching English as a foreign language, I often taught adults. The biggest impediment I found for adults learning a foreign language was the fear to appear childish. With such a fear, learning a new language is almost impossible.

We want some operation that maps the point 1 to the point x, while holding the origin constant. I agree that scale and rotate is not the only such function, but when I personally visualize taking a grid and moving one point while keeping another constant, that is what I visualize. Additionally, this has the added property of maintaining the grid structure.

It is not immediately obvious to me how skewing could define such an operation in the general case; or how flipping could define such an operation in most cases.

In any case, the system of adders and multipliers in 2-dimension he describes, even if not the only reasonable 2D generalization, is certainly a reasonable generalizaion, and one that has proved useful.

>It's actually at the heart of why rotation (and not some other geometric operation) is key to e^iπ.

In this video, e^x is defined as a mapping between multipliers and adders. Multipliers are defined to be a combination of rotation and scaling. Any relationship between exponential, calculus, infinite sums, etc is purely a result of these definitions (except, perhaps, the motivation for choicing i * pi to be the principle multiplier mapping that gets mapped to -1 under e.)
The HSR depots are going to be downtown San Francisco, which is a lot more convenient than the pain in the arse SFO is, and LA Union Station, which is rapidly becoming a hub for rail lines going to Orange County, Santa Monica, Pomona, the South Bay, East LA, etc. LA Union station is rapidly becoming a rather good transit hub.

For me, the project I keep rebuilding to learn new languages/frameworks is Risk (though it's been quite awhile now).

After spending so much time with Phoenix channels on my main project, I couldn't resist the fun of reimplementing it over sockets. It'll probably wind up on GitHub when I'm done.
!!a != !!b also works, but that's unwieldy.

I think maybe part of the reason is that usually you're also doing something with the value of the lhs or rhs, so you end up having to separate the cases anyway:

if (a && !b) { frob(a); }
else if (b && !a) { twiddle(b); }
else { panic(); }
