I love the looks, the texts and just how much effort Github put into these docs. After having read quite a few pages, I'm just a bit puzzled: who are these guidelines for?

Corporates usually have their own open-source guidelines (we had one at my R&D jobs even before Github existed), and these docs are a bit overdone for the tiny projects that lone devs usually put online. You know what I mean, for the ones where a single-line guideline would have been enough: "Please, if you don't want to write a readme, at least add some in-line comments".
thanks a lot for sharing this, really inspiring!
Well most of the time there isn't a 5x markup, either.
> If you are a performer, sometimes you want to sell to the biggest fans. What's the market mechanism for that?

This is what I don't get about some of the arguments here. In the freest markets, doesn't that mean I have the right refuse service to anyone? Doesn't that mean I have every right to do everything in my power to avoid selling to scalpers? If that artists wanted to do an auction type system, the arguments being made would make sense, but that isn't what most artists are trying to do.
OP is conflating pollution with his own identity, so an attack on pollution is a personal attack against him and his people.
But that's not what I wanted to do. What I wanted to do, which was a reply to another comment, is explain why the local service option matters.

Reading the comment that I replied to will help you understand my line.
Is their claim factually incorrect?
That's an awesome change! Congratulations! That change is different than general caloric restriction though.
Wash and reuse steel cutlery? (I know people who carry little tins with forks, spoons and chopsticks they can assemble and reuse).

Seattle has a plastic bag ban and you can use paper bags or just bring you own reusable bags.

Bottled water in developed nations is typically less regulated (and has a lower quality) than tap water. This doesn't apply to India of course, but maybe this will force Delhi to seriously fix their municipal water supply to world standards. Even if it doesn't, most homes and restaurants have water filters, and people can simply carry reusable bottles even plastic ones (the disposable variety are what's banned).
Alas it's not always enough.

I think the (slightly) higher threshold for creating even a throwaway account elsewhere makes for a better experience in the long run. I needed to get rid of a lot of stuff in the past couple months and fb/nextdoor/freecycle was more productive in a week than craigslist was in two months.

Same story for paid job listings on craigslist - I just put one up a few weeks ago. I'm starting to find that it's getting worse as time goes by for things like restaurant jobs. I've slowly started using other ways to find new hires, and next time craigslist won't be on my radar unless everything else falls through. Not that my few hundred bucks a year is a big deal for them, but I kinda expect better and get better from competitors.
This is great news! I have a question maybe someone from Delhi could answer, the article states:

"The ban took effect on the first day of 2017."

What are the vendors doing? Is water being sold in glass bottles with a deposit scheme for redemption now?
Alabama immigration: crops rot as workers vanish to avoid crackdown (2011)
It's not really 2000 for everybody[0]

"From USDA food consumption surveys of that era, the FDA knew that women typically reported consuming 1,600 to 2,200 calories a day, men 2,000 to 3,000, and children 1,800 to 2,500. But stating ranges on food labels would take up too much space and did not seem particularly helpful. The FDA proposed using a single standard of daily calorie intake—2,350 calories per day, based on USDA survey data. The agency requested public comments on this proposal and on alternative figures: 2,000, 2,300, and 2,400 calories per day."

"Despite the observable fact that 2,350 calories per day is below the average requirements for either men or women obtained from doubly labeled water experiments, most of the people who responded to the comments judged the proposed benchmark too high. Nutrition educators worried that it would encourage overconsumption, be irrelevant to women who consume fewer calories, and permit overstatement of acceptable levels of “eat less” nutrients such as saturated fat and sodium. Instead, they proposed 2,000 calories as:" <snip - I highly recommend reading the rest>

Are you being facetious? Otherwise I feel old.

Okay I definitely feel old.
I'm not sure why you think it should be a priority for the nation (meaning the taxpayers) to support those who devote their lives to the study of literature. Do those pursuits pay off in some tangible or intangible form down the line that justifies the upfront, and very tangible, expenditure you want taken out of my paycheck?

I'll agree that military spending is out of control, and that the welfare system in general needs to do better than cut people off past a certain point, but that doesn't mean we should pay for apartments for English majors with the money we're currently spending on bombs.
Vehicle emissions (and other air pollution) are a problem all over the world. The USA and especially California now have reasonably tight emissions control standards, but Los Angeles used to have horrid smog, to the point children would be told not to go outside to play on the worst days. Now after public outrage followed by well enforced regulatory changes, it’s much better.

In general, a relatively small percentage of older vehicles produce a huge proportion of auto emissions. If governments can enforce regular emissions tests and pull the offending vehicles off the road, it makes an enormous difference to air quality.
I'm not sure it's a "breaking news" type of outfit compared to others, but they tend to be fairly thorough and there is a US section.

I actually do like a bit more Europe/World coverage.

I don't subscribe to FT, though - I barely finish The Economist each week.
I do not see any coverage in Indian media. Could it be one of those official notifications which public at large hardly follows but it breeds corruption by enforcement officials. Though looking at Indian papers I came across this rather frightening news:

In Silicon Valley, there is far more trash along highways than there was 30 years ago, well beyond simple per-capita pace.
I actually believe starvation and caloric deficiency has more correlation with inflammation. When you introduce foreign sustenance (food) into your body, it has to spend resources to work through it, absorb it and expel waste. The higher the caloric count the more work it has to do and usually more inflammation from working through it instead of working on recovery.

What studies (HMS,Johnhopkins) have shown is exercise (blood flow vital to removing waste and in result inflammation) and sleep (recovery) is equally as if not more important than diet.

These focus points are the same in fighting age related diseases: Alzheimers and sleeplessness.

They already did disrupt it, you just aren't cognizant of the fact that you life in that post-disruption world. It's hard to imagine what could have been, but I suspect there'd be a confetti of paid services (likely absolutely horrible side-projects by local newspapers) that everyone hated but still had to use.
But if they just wrote an SPA and overrode the back button behavior and displayed a little spinner icon while html was loaded via json, your experience would be so much better.

This seems like a real problem. The "bursting at the seams" people will need a pretty significant rewrite to run on Spanner, which seriously limits the appeal.

The ideal market for Spanner seems to be new projects developed by big companies that know that big traffic will arrive on day 1. In other words, Google. Which I guess shouldn't be too surprising...

Kite is an artificial pair programmer. While you're coding, it shows you examples and documentation for the libraries and terminal commands you use. Kite even detects simple errors and offers to fix them for you."
I'm not saying MS is going to abandon the platform, but to me it seems entirely possible that "very soon" these cloud platforms using cheap, shared, commodity hardware might be so affordable and technically capable that it might be a no brainer choice unless you have a very good reason to use MSSQL (kind of the opposite today, on-prem by default, cloud if necessary).
odd there was no attempt to present solutions or show if any of the countries were trying to find any.

Basic Income won't solve this mess unless you are willing to give up a lot to get it. As in it won't be free, some benefits will go by the wayside as BI will need to cover all your needs. I figure education will hit the block first, get a job while on BI to prove you can hold one then you can get schooling or more advanced trade skill training.

the problems with BI are many. politicians and such would have a difficult time establishing how much is enough because even those who wholly exist on a BI system would demand access or the ability to obtain certain items and goods. the danger is establishing by government edict a permanent underclass, appeased just enough to keep them from challenging the system.

likely to be better to incentivize hiring people by providing discounts/paybacks/guarantees to employers to get the people in place
Some chains had been giving discounts for "bring-your-own-bag" even before the outright bag ban. Sprouts still does!
I'm skeptical FB will make inroads here. One of the bedrocks of FB, positive or negative, is that it connects together people who already know each other in some way. Craigslist is the polar opposite of that.
But a ban on plastic bags is easy, it is quick and immediate. Whereas the other problems you mention may take decades, if ever, to solve. At least they're doing something. And it's not like the people enforcing the ban would be the same people who would otherwise install air and water filtration systems. If there's anything India does have in abundance, it's manpower.
I think people miss the bigger picture. CL is the classified section, only 1000x easier to use, both buying and selling.

Generally the stuff sold has a low, but non-zero, payoff / hassle ratio (e.g. furniture), but most of its charm has to do with its rough edges (flaky users, tag spam), which adds a little sense of adventure.

One of my friends whom I would characterize as a semi-pro CL user says some of his best deals came from stuff the seller hadn't listed on CL.
Word processors are professional tools, but they're also student tools, amateur tools, etc. They (and MS Word in particular) come pre-loaded on computers, given out by schools, etc. You've got a larger population with a larger range of goals trying to use them. And when someone transitions from student to professional, they're likely to continue making do with however they were using Word before.

Photoshop is a tool that you have to specifically seek out, whether that means buying it or "acquiring through other means". It's got a smaller population of professionals and hobbyists who are used to thinking of it as a tool. I think that's where the difference comes in.
3) might be explained by the bodies conversion of T4 to T3 (active thyroid), which requires glucose.
I know some companies are using ML to do this internally - predicting staffing needs, optimizing costs, etc.

It strikes me as a very individualized problem; might be hard to generalize - or the markets you could generalize too aren't that big/don't need a solution all that much.

Please forgive the stupid question, since I don't know low level coding too well but: what are some uses of this? It says it's a "Rust library for OpenType font rendering" - so since it's a library that means other rust code can use it for their purposes. So might this someday find its way into Servo? Is it possible for other languages to take advantage of this, too?

Yes, as the blog post states one of the immediate next goals is to hook this up to WebRender. WebRender is the 2D graphics backend for Servo.

Yes, if bindings are written.

I have two missing packages in USPS right now, both from China. One is a laptop power supply, which tracking shows as delivered, although it didn't show up. The second is some surface mount soldering practice boards, which made it to "out for delivery" near me back in early January. Then somehow the packet went to Los Angeles, where it's stuck with no delivery date.

This is all cheap stuff from eBay and Amazon, and I can get refunds. But it's annoying that each item made it all the way from China to Silicon Valley, then delivery failed in the last few miles.
Even if you poop in your fancy bungalow toilet, it does end up in the rivers, along with detergent and toxic toilet cleaners.

Banning disposable plastic and non biodegradable detergents would go a great way in letting microbes and plants do their job in cleaning up the environment.

With plastics not clogging up the rivers and chemicals not killing all river life, the rivers would definitely run much cleaner. This move was incidentally meant to curb air pollution, so clean rivers or oceans are an added benefit.

Recognizing a plastic bag is tech on par with two of the techs you list (and arguably beyond sending a man to the moon.) Making a robot that can recognize plastic bags and manipulate them is harder. And applying that level of expertise to a public works problem in a capitalist society is even harder.

(In response to the obvious counterargument; the configuration space of "a plastic bag mixed in with a bunch of random junk" is actually probably larger than the configuration space for a road with a dozen other cars on it, and so is the action space of a reasonably dextrous claw/arm greater than that of a car. AI is full of easy-sounding things that are really difficult.)

Perhaps, but the work of teaching English to undergraduates (including many students who aren't planning to pursue a career in literary criticism) would remain.
Here's the key line in the article:

> Under European labor laws, permanent workers are usually more difficult to lay off and require more costly benefit packages, making temporary contracts appealing for all manner of industries, from low-wage warehouse workers to professional white-collar jobs.

Make it extremely costly for an employer to exit a permanent contract and employers are less willing to enter those contracts. Shouldn't be terribly surprising.
ML is more statistical - good for forecasting. We were doing optimization mathematics with hard constraints for the scheduling.

One of the issues that we encountered was that a generalized algorithm was tough. Different companies had different requirements for an algorithm, and it started to feel like a consulting company. For instance, if a big box retailer would rather be slightly underscheduled at peak time rather than adding additional employees (and being over-scheduled near the peak time). A high-end boutique retailer (like a diamond shop) might be the opposite - each sales brings in so much money that they overstaff at non-peak hours so that they can service customers during peak hours.
If I could even log in to Skype for Business, that would be great.
The prejudice seems to be "ah India, nice try but you still fail badly in an unrelated area" while in fact in this regard Delhi is more progressive than much of Europe and the US.

Reducing plastic waste is a step in the right direction and should not be dismissed just because there are other problems that may be harder to fix right now.
Security-Dev-Ops

Think "dev ops" with a security mindset added.
I think you have it backwards. If they had fewer grad students that supplied almost-free labor, they would have to employ more English teachers to fulfill those tasks, and raise the teacher to student ratio for English classes.

English teachers don't just teach grad students, they teach English majors and just about every other student, as English is a core general education class for graduation in most cases.
What's your goal? What do you want to accomplish? Raise awareness of what's going on in the Trump administration? Who's your audience? Do you want to reach anyone other than people who already share your concerns? Do you want to be written off by people who aren't already predisposed to agree with you?

Sure, they could have handled this differently. I also suspect that the people who are running IT at whitehouse.gov may not be used to doing the work that they're currently doing (how often do you change administrations? I know I rarely optimize once-every-four-year processes that aren't critical), or are doing it under time constraints that's preventing them from doing the job the best they can. Except under the most ideal organizations, I think most of us have been in situations where things have been rolled out, on purpose or by accident, that haven't been done the best way possible.

There are plenty of things for people who are concerned about the Trump administration to watch closely. To raise the alarm at all of them very much dilutes the power of the alarm for more serious issues.

In such a polarized climate, preaching to the choir isn't going to make things better. People need to be focused on reaching some kind of shared understanding, and that takes people paying attention to what they're saying and how they're saying it, as well as people being willing to listen and understand (even if they don't agree) what others are trying to say.
When I visit Craigslist, it loads almost instantaneously, similar to how Hacker News does now, or Gmail used to years ago. This is not the case for sites that use JavaScript to position everything.

At the food delivery company I work for part of the onboarding process for all new hires is to have them place an order, handle some customer support calls, go out for a shift with a delivery driver, and shadow one of the shops packing orders. In my opinion its one of the best policies we have as everyone goes into the job with at least some understanding of what we actually do. Working remote I don't get the chance as often as I'd like, but even six years in I still learn new things everytime I go out and actually watch people using the systems and processes we design in the office.
