Did you try tig [1]? I prefer the command line solution to shoving complicated things and UI (which fugitive is -- I could barely remmeber all the features I had and like you, I only really ever used the :Gblame command the most) into vim. I prefer to have vim be lightweight and let other tools do their job (i.e the UNIX way).

I don't use fugitive now but I do make full use of tig. In my .vimrc I have:

nnoremap <leader>gb :echo system("git rev-parse --abbrev-ref @ <bar> tr -d '\n'")<CR>
nnoremap <leader>go :silent !tig<CR>:silent redraw!<CR>
nnoremap <leader>gB :silent !tig blame % +<C-r>=expand(line('.'))<CR><CR>:silent redraw!<CR>

The above solution leaves vim purely for editing, and tig for doing the actual git presentation.

Just like fugitive, I can travel back and forth through history. And if I hit q, I'm back in vim.

From their statements: "The Foundation’s current practice is to maintain at least six months of cash and cash equivalents to support a combination of operating cash and a current reserve fund."

So, looks like their annual budget needs that cash. From the OP's chart, expenses are increasing exponentially, maybe their budget is continuing that pattern. We also don't know how lumpy their donations are. Maybe it all comes in during their donation drive.

To answer your specific question, I think Wikipedia is not well funded. Many museums and foundations are funded for years to come, so they can take a bigger proportion of risky assets. Wikipedia seems to spend donations as they come in. Needing 50% of their assets liquid highlights what the OP is complaining about - they spend too much. They are simply unable to invest more long-term.

Conventional recycling (or better yet: avoidance) can reduce new landfills, but ha zero impact on stuff that is already there.

I suspect a gullible investor money grab: "Saudi riches while saving cute animals, you'd be a fool not to try!", there will always be some people ignoring the too good to be true test.

But if it does work, creating some fuel while doing the cleanup could make a world of difference in terms of funding. I don't see this ever really competing with conventional resource extraction while there is still a drop of crude in the ground, but as a trophy token, "plastic patch fuel" could make fundraising much easier.

Actual university degree programs in the US are accredited by shops like ABET, which don't specify textbooks by name (probably because they change so often because $$$). Reasonable and trustworthy (not necessarily the best) textbooks for subjects can be found by comparing course syllabii on any number of top 50 university course websites and browsing titles on sellers which offer free samples.

There are seminal books in disciplines (ie Art of Electronics, TAOCP or SICP) but they're not "bibles" per-se.

I didn't glean that the author is implying UML influenced language choice, just that UML vendors tried to sell to C developers.

But to answer your question, C++ is gaining a larger foothold in embedded if anything. More and more libraries are written in C++, and it's becoming more supported in the various toolchains.

From a very recent hackaday article -
"Modern C++ allows us to write cleaner, more concise code, and make the code we write more reusable. The following are [...] new features of C++ that don’t add memory overhead, reduce speed, or increase size because they’re all handled by the compiler [...] after reading this you’ll be more aware of the newer features as we start to see them roll out in Arduino code."

And also, because I was poking around their github today, here is Flybrix's source code, a lego-drone startup writing C++ on a Kinetis K-20 microcontroller (100 MHz ARM Cortex-M4). They use the teensy bootloader, which is why you see a mix of Arduino and C++ files

Uncertainty. Look for the parts of the code where you feel you least sure you have the logic right.

A simple example of this is the bowling game kata: given the throws in a bowling game, calculate the (final) score. The 'hard' part is to keep strikes and spares in mind, including the bonus throws when a strike or spare is scored in the 10th frame.

If you were making an application that would help you keep track of your bowling score, that score calculator would have the highest ROI in terms of testing.

I have mixed feelings about this.

I love Sublime Text. But it's also a real pain to get set up correctly. I want to like PyCharm . . . but it's also a real pain to get set up correctly, and it's slow as junk.

Then again there's straight up Visual Studio with Python tools, which is also a real pain in the ass to get set up and ready for use. And slower than I want it to be.

And vim, which is great when you get it going, but is also a huge pain in the ass to get set up.

Are we seeing a trend here?

I am. And the trend is that comprehensive IDEs really just take a lot more work with dynamically typed languages than they do with statically typed ones. Code introspection and completion is just a lot harder when you're guessing about stuff.

I don't know. I haven't found the sweet spot, and I prefer to spend my time getting things done instead of configuring tools.

My instinct is to choose the tools that are fast. Vim, Sublime Text. But fast has limitations. I have a pro license for PyCharm on my own dime, but I've always just given up when it comes to configuring it to something that makes sense.

Blargh.

This situation is a thing that makes me just a tiny little bit envious of the C# crowd. Visual Studio + Resharper is basically the best in class of coding tools. Yeah, you're going to spend some time with setup, and you are not going to edit shit on the fly on a server.

That tooling really works and works well. And SSMS is the gold standard for SQL IDEs. The open source Python part of me is incredibly jealous of the Microsoft tooling stack.

Some of the limitations with Python are by nature of the language, and some are because we just seem to be willing to settle for good enough.

But damn, I really miss Visual Studio environment when working with Python and Postgres instead of C# and SQL Server. I'm actually playing with C# and SQL Server for toy projects sometimes just because the tools are so good. If you happen to have a Windows box laying around. Which, you do, if you play any games.

PyCharm is the closest thing to that experience, but it's so gross, I just kind of can't stand it. Every time I sit down and decide, "Okay, I'm going to make this work for me. Today." I just give up. Fuck it. I'll just go back to vim and Sublime Text. They are good enough.
Yeah, that's the workflow I was mentioning, cooking the file into a resource by referencing it as resource in the csproj, but then it's keyed by a string of the file-path within the project file, which isn't nearly as nice as having it bound to a variable in C#.

I was an expat in the US for many years, the story was the same in the mid-90s. Many try it, some stay, some come back. I still work for a US company but moved back.

The current political climate has a big impact on encouraging people to stay in Canada, especially with NAFTA and the H1B programs hanging by a thread. Imagine thousands of Canadians with TN status getting told they need to move back immediately (More likely 30-60 days after a status change application) upon withdrawal from NAFTA. It will be a chaotic brain drain in reverse.

Amazon, Microsoft, Google all have large Canadian outposts lately for a reason.

> He’s also hinted at tech’s ability to overhaul zoning rules and control housing costs, a particular interest of Alphabet’s Page.

Yeah, right. Toronto is one of the most retrograde cities on housing intensification (it still hasn't intensified around the Bloor-Danforth subway that was built a generation ago)[1]. In fact many neighbourhoods are losing population as the region grows due to extremely restrictive zoning rules.[2] A bit of Google money isn't going to change the electoral calculus of the local politicians that control that stuff.

The most likely scenario is Google convinces the government to sell/give them land in Toronto's Port Lands at below market value, and they make a killing on developing it with some technological window-dressing like free ad-supported wi-fi which AFAIK is the only thing Sidewalk has launched to date.

So the uni should relocate or build more extensive student housing? Not sure how that is a problem for the city itself. Not everyone gets to live in prime areas.
If an artificial town could be self sustaining, a lot of the benefits you want explained might just happen just by not having legacy stuff. E.g. the roads, and road rules could designed with new forms of transport in mind. Housing might (initially!) be cheaper because zoning requirements don't force prices up.

There's wishful thinking in all of the above, but I think that is concentrated in the wish that such a town could get off the ground at all. But about the only kind of artificial town that I find plausible is when a state wants to build a new capital -- and that will immediately be a gravy train for parasites who want to crank up the costs.

Our of curiosity, what sorts of addresses are ones that are difficult for a computer to understand?
Oh, we've got problems of that sort in Atlanta, too (at a different price scale than SF, of course). There's an enormous spread between mortgages and rent at the moment; so many fewer people qualify for mortgages after the housing crash due to tougher underwriting standards and a return to traditional down-payment requirements that many, many more people are forced to rent. That has pushed rents way up. But for those who qualify, buying has never been cheaper. Needless to say, they pocket the difference, and it's an extreme landlord's market. They've got their pick of tenants and getting a place inside the Perimeter with anything less than impeccable credit is hard.

Median rent in Midtown Atlanta, where I last lived, is pushing north of $2000, which for Atlanta is a _princely_ sum considering it's ... well, it's Atlanta. It's not Brooklyn or Chicago. If I'm going to pay that much, I want Brooklyn or Chicago.
It was a long time ago so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but if I remember correctly it was fairly straightforward. It was right before and as SPF really became worth doing. The thing that would get a lot of my customers running their own mail was the PTR not matching the name presented by the mail server and/or that name not being listed in the MX records for the domain it was relaying mail for. I did have to deal with the occasional IP that had been blacklisted on RBLs and that could be a pain the ass and typically the first order of business was actually blocking outbound SMTP except from their mail server.

Those were the days that I don't miss.

Forgive my ignorance, but are taxes really earmarked in the US? As far as I understand, in most of Europe the government and municipality just collect their dues and spend according to an approved budget with no earmarking whatsoever.
I think you're right. I my observation (though not in SF) the top 2 sources of dispute are 1.) parking, and 2.) dogs. Not infrequently, there's a correlation between offensive parking and promoting bad dog behavior.

Of course it makes sense that would be the case. Inconsiderate people are likely not to care about encroaching on others' driveways when they or their guests leave their vehicles. They're also not likely to heed city leash laws, leaving their dogs deposit excrement randomly which neighbors tend to object to.

In some neighborhoods in town parking is a nightmare because there are not enough spaces on the street for visitors and residents. Institution of metered parking and permits was a price of success of urban redevelopment. Around here the residential permits aren't cheap, but most residents cough up the fee anyway. Even then there's no guarantee they will be able to find parking close to home, though the odds are improved and local dwellers say that's better than nothing.

Under the conditions operating here, I don't think there's a substantial "transfer of value" from public to private hands. It may be a different story in Palo Alto.
I see. Thats frankly a poor state of affairs if it's the case.

Toronto and Waterloo have long been tech centres, though not as large as New York or Seattle. Probably it has been most similar to Chicago's tech scene evolution, just smaller scale. A big factor are the quality of schools here and increased (though not universal) desire for Canadians to stay in Canada since 2001.
I should have specified: using technology like 3D printed housing and automated vertical farming in order to make it cost effective or negligible, or subsidized like roads.

It seems to me we have the tech to provide good solutions, it just needs to be applied.

People jailed for life have usually done some pretty nasty stuff.

Getting old is a prospect a lot of their victims were spared if that's the right word. And life becoming more miserable as we age is an experience not confined to prisoners.

To my mind an old folks home can be an experience that must be not too dissimilar to prison. We like to have a benign view of old people but horrible young people don't become nice old people. I don't like the thought of inflicting yet further misery on old people by having these people joining them.

There should be old folks prisons for old prisoners.

I wouldn't say C++ is fine with it. vector<bool> is widely viewed as a mistake. I would actually say it's one of the few inconsistencies in a standard library that tends to be very consistent.

The problem is that (quite rightly) the C++ standard committee tries very hard to not break existing code. There isn't really an easy way to deprecate a specialization of this container without causing 32x more memory use if someone was relying on it, and even worse it would be a silent breaking change.
"So for the 2020 election I would love to see a truly forward looking candidate who does not tie their fate to one of the existing parties but rather establishes a movement of their own..."

In case the author has forgotten, we had two candidates in the last US presidential election who were not tied to the major parties: Jill Stein and Gary Johnson. Neither of them got a single electoral vote:

http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php

(Looks like there was a candidate from the Independent Party too, but he got so little coverage I never even heard of him.)

The problem is that the media pretty much ignores them, they're not included in the important debates, and most people won't vote for them since they don't want to "waste their votes" on someone who they don't think can win. Unless these problems can be solved, the US system is going to be dominated by the two big parties forever.
Google Wi-Fi mesh network in Mountain View hasn't worked in a long time. Toronto may well get similar service decline.

Also, Starbucks Google Wi-Fi rarely uses Google Fibre, IME, and instead uses commercial providers like AT&T and Comcast. Plus, Starbucks hasn't deployed much SGWF in Silicon Valley so it's still basically vaporware. (There's a Starbucks in Santa Clara with non-Google Wi-Fi as slow as dial-up.) They'd be wise to cancel the Google partnership and go with an outsourcer whom has access to a couple of big providers to maximize cheapest/fastest/coverage and handles all the deployment, support and security.
