Sure. I can understand how it happens. But unless you want to list some of those other purposes:

A) That would justify anti-conspiracy countermeasures, not general "you have to pay them more" laws.

B) It would rather dubiously require a conspiracy along the rather huge number of low-skill employers. I can accept a conspiracy between McDonald's and BK, but across numbers indistries and localities?
It's not as difficult as you're suggesting. Figure out your minimum specs and get the cheapest plan that meets them.
Ghostery identifies 10 trackers and uBlock shows 7 advertising scripts, which seems like a lot for a page that you'd think shouldn't need advertising.

The page doesn't even display if you block some of these scripts. This is terrible.

I actually do use markdown for the git-repo based prototype. My personal website itself actually uses that prototype. You can see an example "page" here: https://github.com/housejeffries-pages/2

Thanks for the nice words about Son. I need to get it completed (the spec still needs some touch ups) and get prototype implementations written, once that's done I think it will be pretty useful.

Thanks for the tip about StrongLink, that's definitely up my alley. Already I'm finding it useful, for instance in the docs it mentions ni URLs (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6920), which is something I'd never heard of before.

If you have any more comments or criticisms of my projects feel free to email me, none of them are quite to the stage I can start promoting them yet, but getting feedback is still super important.

> To a certain type of gadget user, an Android smartphone is a symbol of defiance. These users see Google’s software — its customization options, hardware affordability, and no-frills design — as the perfect refutation of the sterile, mass-marketed appeal of Apple’s iPhone.

I've used Android since some of the earliest versions and while this may have been accurate at on point it isn't now. Google is quickly becoming the poster boy for orwellian corporate control and I'm looking for alternatives.
IMO, anyone with over a Billion dollars is more like an insider than an outsider. Probably anybody over ~4 Million, actually.
This approach also helps with those orphan branches since it just calculates the diff caused by bringing the orphan branch into the mainline.

Whereas OP's definition counts every line ever created on both sides (e.g., counts every line of code in the original project as well as the orphan at the moment of the merge).
If you really want to ge there...

... I'd point out that barbarian scientist doctors did not wash their hands 200 years ago, but 2,000 years ago it was really old news for pious Jews, because their God had told them all about sanitazion.

They were probably too primitive to understand the germ theory of disease, but if a voice from above told them "if you don't do as I say, I will punish you", and then they observed that bad things happened when they failed to obey... they would have to be pretty stupid to keep breaking the rules.

Not saying that this literaly happened precisely as described. But the belief that Progress is a straight line from caveman to astronaut is no less a myth than the previous one. You just don't see it that way because older myths are not part of your culture's world view.
Except when either your app server or db server go down on a Friday night (sods law implies this will happen on a weekend you're heading out of town).

Now your 100k/month platform is down for 3 days.

You've saved something like $40/month (two additional app/db vms plus a load balancer), but a failure could realistically cost you 1/10th of a month of downtime (which, simplistically looks like $10k). Do you think your platform with two single points of failure is _not_ going to go down like this sometime in the next 5 years?

(Of course, a weekend's worth of downtime might not be a 10% revenue hit - but depending on your SLAs and penalties it's also possible to be a lot more than that...)
Business execs are often taught to distinguish between cost centers and profit centers, and to focus their attention and resources on the profit centers.

Any product that's premised on making a company's cost centers (e.g. HR scheduling) marginally more efficient is going to see very slow adoption just because it's not something execs will focus on -- they have so many other priorities that are higher on the list.

Also, SMBs almost never want to convert to pay cash for anything because they are usually so cash crunched.

You've got cause and effect backward: degrees didn't start "requiring" loans because they became overpriced; they became overpriced because loans were available.
I worked for some friends a long time ago doing traffic control plan software (at http://www.invarion.com/). We were a startup, three of us in the office, that's it, so when customers would phone one of us would have to talk them. A lot of the customers were not super technical, and I would have to answer questions about features that I had implemented, or bugs that I couldn't have imagined. It was illuminating, and gave me a new respect for developing software and really considering the end user and their needs and abilities.
"This suggests plenty of calories plus strength training is in the running for a longevity lifestyle."

Why not both ?

Relatively high calorie diet, over the long run, to support strength training and a high level of exercise ... but regular (weekly ? twice-weekly ?) fasting to partake in what appear to be the benefits of forcing your body to change gears and clean house (so to speak).

You can have a relatively high calorie diet measured over the course of a week or a month while still fasting regularly.

Duly upvoted, but I'd like to note that the problem with so-called “unsafe languages” isn't undefined behavior per se, but rather the lack of appropriate tools (e.g. a formal axiomatic semantics) to reliably write programs with no undefined behavior.

Climate change is not just about trees, but about the massive loss of biodiversity that goes along with rapid climate change.

Sure most of Europe will be covered in pine trees, but at the same time a lot of species, essentially all that are not able to migrate with the same speed that the climate changes in their habitat will die out.

This article for example claims that 1/2 of the known species have died out within this century and 1/6 will die out if nothing is done about climate change:

This statement seems very defensive to me. I would have liked to see some kind of discussion in trying to learn from Munich's experience to make LibreOffice better.

It's Open Source... you don't need spend time convincing people your product is better, as you don't get revenue from users. What OS projects need is community and participants, which you gain by being open to criticism and game for new efforts to improve.
Yep, it totally makes sense when put in those terms.

Also, any attempt to make the cost centers more efficient (by introducing elaborate software and algorithms) will probably make them quite a bit less flexible, require higher skilled staff, etc.
Here's one fun fact: Our three-touch outbound email campaigns to restaurants had a ~0.1% conversion rate.

The economist inside me says it would be better to tax disposable plastic.

The tax could cover the cost to clean up the litter. That would create jobs in three ways: 1) plastic clean-up jobs, 2) businesses and economic activity that desperately need disposable plastic can still possibly survive, and ) jobs making disposable plastic.

Anyways, it's a lot better than taxing things we all agree we want more of. Like jobs.

Gurobi.

The pre-V1 algorithms used the Julia JuMP package [1], which allows swapping of the backend solver easily. I don't think some of the functional tests would pass on the open source solver though (precutting and heuristics in gurobi caused a huge speed gain).

The later iteration of the algorithm used the Gurobi python library directly, which is closed source.

In 2004, I wrote the first article about a well-known but not very popular brazilian singer in the portuguese Wikipedia. I spent the whole weekend on it, citing references, finding dates, listing albums, etc.

A few years ago I went back to find the article much bigger... but it was utter crap. The text was nowhere near unbiased, barely touched facts and seemed more like a bedtime story about flying saucers than a wikipedia article per se. There was more content indeed, but most data was obscured by something that didn't looked at all like an encyclopedia article.
For a lot of single page applications, javascript makes sense. Less data to load from server on subsequent requests. Your app is a lot richer.

Sure you can disable js, but for the majority the Web would be really broken without js.

As a culture, tracking is everywhere. Disabling js still logs your up, referrer and a bunch of other things.

I do like what uorigin/adblock and other extensions are doing.

You're right, and most programs try to do some sort of gradation instead of a sharp cutoff. Unfortunately, all the programs are different, with cutoffs at different points, with differing coarseness. A lot of this is related to the problem of making taxes doable by hand, which, several years after the invention of the pocket calculator, could be considered a little outmoded. A lot is also related to the general difficulty of making any changes at all to welfare programs.

"Logging in to the Guest account on OSX accomplishes what you want, no?"

No ...

That is, unless I can easily script the destruction and recreation of the guest account, and automated install and configuration of my chrome setup ...

The idea here is that I set up chrome just how I want it and deploy and redeploy that "container" over and over - destroying it and recreating it after each use. Possibly with multiple instances running simultaneously ...
Cost to buy that content does go up with the number of users, the typical licencing agreement of a cable company to distribute a channel has pricing of $x/subscriber.

There can be some other conditions, e.g. if you distribute it to less than 100k subscribers then you still pay for a full 100k; or you pay $x for every subscriber that you have, no matter if you show them our channel or not; or you can distribute the nice channel A only to customers who also have our (not so nice) channels B, C and D, etc... but the core principle is that you do pay for content per subscriber.

Furthermore, the big content companies produce a lot of content in all genres, and they're (obviously) focused on their average revenue per user - and if they can get $x ARPU for their bundles, where the demand is driven by a few key channels (e.g. they expect everyone who wants A or B to pay for the whole bundle) then any a la carte unbundled packaging that would allow A or B separately makes business sense only if the a la carte customers would on average pay at least as much as the whole bundle costs. There's no extra cost to the content owner to give the whole bundle, rather the other way around (your 'shit channels' can get more advertising revenue since some of those who got it in a bundle would watch it a bit), but there is a loss of revenue if you start paying less for the channels that you do want.

Advertising covers the costs for the many shitty channels, those can be got/distributed nearly for free, but things that people actually want on their cable are quite costly, especially sports.

Oh man! Not easy, especially when caught off guard. I was laid off unexpectedly two years ago. It was surprising and not surprising all at once. I think there is a lot of good advice already. I think it is a blessing to be let go before the boat sinks. Maybe you lose control over some things, but the morale hit and depression of working through a literal death march sucks.

I had more than a decade of steady work, so the experience that my job was guaranteed was humbling.

Overall, I'm thankful for the loss I had. It wasn't an easy ride, but most of the good ones aren't.

Competition is great; metal is an afterthought. Vulkan is still unsupported; the OpenGL implementation is still out of date and buggy.

If anything, Apple needs competition with themselves. There's no route to a modern graphics API on macOS (or iOS for that matter).
I would pay for landscape mode in iOS. It's mind-boggling they still haven't implemented this.

How easy would it be to integrate this with projects written primarily in other languages?
Making this networks transparent would be a pretty good first step. So, maybe when you see a sponsored FB post or "news" article it will say who is sponsoring (traversing shell companies on a best effort policy), why is it being targeted to you (at least based on which selectors) and how many variants of the ad exist.
Sell by auction. Let buyers bid up to the natural market value. Avoid sniping by running it like a real auction: having no fixed ending time and only finalizing a sale when there have been no bids for a period of time to be sure everyone has a chance to bid up to whatever it's worth to them.

What i mean by "not do anything" is not trying to attack the overpopulation issue by putting restraints on population directly. Hans Rosling has shown that as level of life increases around the world, developing countries move towards having less children and therefore the population balances itself in the mid run, at about 10 billion folks.

Fighting poverty is done by improving economic openness - while people are always bitching about "inequalities" on the whole even the poorest are getting richer compared to 20 years ago and global poverty is steadily decreasing over time. And starvation is very much a thing of the past (except in conflict zones, for obvious reasons) while it was certainly not the case back in the 80s.
"Why would anyone want to force politics into a technical discussion."

My thoughts exactly. Their belief is that forcing their kind of politics creates an inclusive space that all people feel welcomed in and then contribute to the project. All people like them anyway. As in the other reply to you, they consider anyone else to be "assholes" doing "hate speech," holding back minorities, etc. The woman behind that was hired or consulted for Github's new moderation effort which enforces their philosophy on top of otherwise good practices (eg no harassment/trolling). That's part of why these this stuff is in the guide.

We should distinguish between techniques used and how they're applied. It's possible to use advertising to:

1) Sell soap.
2) Let people know about a new movie.
3) Scam people out of their life savings (find people who fall for a Nigerian prince scam).
4) Own devices (phishing).
5) Swing undecided, low-information voters in an election.

The techniques may be quite similar. The consequences, very different.

Ad tech is powerful technology that doesn't discriminate. Large advertising networks do have content policies preventing outright scammers, phishing, and often just things they don't want on their network, but there are always new techniques.

So this is just another example of why we can't have a nice libertarian-inspired Internet like we all dreamed of when the Internet was new. There are always bad guys and gray areas. Any popular service that attracts a large enough audience gets abused and the service providers inevitably end up policing it, so then they start making tough policy decisions about what's okay. (Or if they don't, customers and various interest groups will complain.)
We looked at the Microsoft tool [1]. I honestly think it's more of an upsell play for existing customer than a new customer acquisition play. The pricing is confusing and not competitive [2].

An afterthought is pretty strong word. It has direct equivalents to most of Vulkan's concepts (resource heaps, command buffers and queues, etc.). It's definitely miles ahead of OpenGL on any platform. What Vulkan features do you think can't be added into Metal without effectively trashing the whole thing?

Breathe. It's stressful as heck right now, but when you land a job, that'll all come off your shoulders.

Read everything. Check your mail: you'll likely be getting health insurance change notices there; read them so that you understand them. You might receive information about COBRA via snail mail too.

Update your résumé. Update your LinkedIn. Get contact info on your current coworkers now: they're in the same boat, and if they land an opportunity at a company with more than one open slot, they might be able to refer you. Network with past contacts, see if they have anything. (I found my current job through a former, now again co-worker.)

Re health insurance: you may be able to take COBRA. Research this, and pay attention to the materials you're given. For example, when I was laid off, we were required to activate COBRA, despite it being free (in my situation; this is does not necessarily apply to you).

I am not a layer, and this is not legal advice (for that, see a lawyer): If you're in the United States, and particularly if you are in California (but if you're not, you might still want to look, some states have similar laws; find out if your state does): Look up "WARN", the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. My understanding is that it provides, in some circumstances a minimum notification of layoff. It depends, partly, on your company's size, and I believe also the layoff size, so you may or may not be eligible. It's a federal law, but some states (like CA) have a state version with more strict requirements. My understanding is that if you are covered by WARN in California, and your employer does not provide the required notice, they must make up for it by paying you. Again, I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice; for that, you should seek out a lawyer.
