This is not a trade war. This is an example of a country pursuing a protectionist policy program. A trade war would result if the west retaliated by creating new tariffs or bans on Chinese products as a response. That would be worse for the west than simply ignoring the protectionism, and that's why the west hasn't done it. If western countries could become better off by screwing China they would certainly do it right away.

Frankly the world has never had free trade; it's just had freer trade in recent years than in the past. There are constant disputes in the WTO about tariffs, subsidies, and other protectionist measures implemented by western countries as well as China. Free-trade deals reduce barriers to trade in some areas and increase them in others. This mapping situation is just another routine trade dispute.

Yes, you are talking the 1% of use-cases, which is probably more like 10% these days with more complex software. Most business apps are just CRUD, but if you're doing analytics queries and such with tabular/pivot/nested result sets, then an ORM isn't going to do much for you.

SQL is the database interface so of course using it directly without abstraction helps you get all the power and control. I have seem some cases though where a query-builder with a solid DSL can be a good middle-ground.

Ask HN: Flexible, lightweight build automation/CI tool?
I‘ve recently set up Jenkins to continuously build and test a Mac app (Postico), and it‘s not been a pleasant experience. Everything is poorly documented, you constantly need to switch between different paradigms (point and click interface, procedural pipelines, declarative pipelines), the API is atrocious, and I haven‘t figured out yet how to configure the dashboard.

So I‘ve started to look for more lightweight and flexible alternatives. My build process consists of a couple of shell scripts (bash), some ruby scripts, and even a python script. The individual parts work well, I only need something to tie it all together and display status.

It can‘t run on docker because the app is built with Xcode, but I do use docker to start up test servers that our unit tests run against.

I‘ve been looking at buildbot, and it looks like it does what I want. Does anybody have any experience with it?

I‘ve also considered using a general purpose task scheduling system, but I don‘t know anything about that space. Does anybody have good recommendations?

I can't wait for this to not be applied against people who use public shaming as a silencing tactic.

Also, there's a bit on irony that in that policy is itself a silencing tactic. This is going to cause people afraid of being banned to self-censor because a statement is politically unpopular.

Indeed. Several years ago, I was working on a 2.4GHz device, and we noticed that occasionally, the microwave in the office kitchen would disrupt things. A quick check with a 2.4GHz band spectrum analyser showed what was going on:

The company being as cheap as it was, I simply began using the microwave as a deliberate noise source for testing the device's operation under adverse conditions, placing a few mugs of water in the microwave for a few minutes, and deliberately setting my channel to collide with the microwave.

I might be a little odd on this one, but I've been in large non-tech companies for a long time, hiring tech (mostly finance technology and data engineering), so here's my take -

I like cover letters. They're an opportunity for you to tell me how your skills transfer to the position, why you're interested in it, and that you can communicate clearly in writing.

The transferability piece is important because it's rare a candidate has all of the bullets in the description, but we all know critical thinking and tech skills are broadly applicable - or at least I know that, but I need to know that you're looking at it that way. It also helps you avoid the HR filter with me (more on that in a bit).

Your interest is important because I think there's a lot of flexibility between tech skills and subject matter/domains. The issue is, we all like some and all hate some, so tell me why you like this one. This is sometimes a tough one because HR job descriptions sometimes are generic and don't explicitly provide this info. In that case, take a broad view and tell me what domains are interesting to you. If it doesn't align with your interests, you may get rejected, but do you really want to end up in a role working with subject matter you can't stand?

The cover letter as a writing sample is also great for me because we email a lot. We write user stories. We document testing. We IM. I don't necessarily need to hire Shakespeare, but I'd love for you to be able to communicate your thoughts clearly and with an appropriate level of polish.

Now, on that HR filter, I don't know how common this is but I ask my recruiter to pass through any application that includes a cover letter. So at least for my vacancies, a cover letter guarantees the hiring manager will directly review your materials. I think that provides an opportunity to candidates who don't check all of the boxes, but might have some transferable skills to consider.

One of the things that makes Ruby so difficult to profile is that in order to do anything really fun (like get memory usage, for instance), you need to shell out, which means you're forking/doubling your memory footprint immediately, which means you probably can't do this in production. This is especially frustrating because by far the biggest issue you'll have with a Ruby (especially Rails) app is memory usage, so trying to pinpoint what of the many things that are currently running on your box are blowing up your memory can be non-trivial.

Certainly some investment can be classed as "gambling". But not all, maybe not even most. Starting, owning, and/or running a business is working. Only it's working with no guarantee of any reward.

Again, we can argue about how high the tax rate should be on unearned income vs earned income (20% max is too low IMO). But $50k in unearned income is worth less (risk-adjusted) than $50k in earned income and should accordingly be taxed lower. Maybe $50k in unearned income is the same as $20k in earned income and similarly all the way up the earnings ladder (I don't know the exact ratio; I made these numbers up).

We often talk about survivor bias in business success; how successful people owe something to luck as much as skill or hard work (which is true, IMO). Shouldn't the variance of this success be recognized in the tax code as well?
Wow, just wow.

Perhaps the reason extroverts find interacting with people exhilarating is because it's not much work for them. Or perhaps because their perception of what is at stake in an interaction to be less than what introverts perceive. Better dancers step on fewer toes, as it were. And while I'm sure there are terrible dancers with a thousand hours on the dance floor, they must be a rarity.

Practice won't turn the introvert into the Haile Gebrselassie of social interaction (natural talent exists), but it will help. A couch potato will suffer through every mile of a run, until they give up. A seasoned runner will be energized by a run over the same distance.

I would characterize an extrovert's social interactions as existing in a state of flow. An extrovert has a perception of their ability that closely matches their actual ability. An introvert has too little confidence in their actual abilities, or too little ability.

So my point, and if nothing else, I've convinced myself of this fact, which might be useful in a fake-it-until-you-make-it fashion, is that social interaction is a skill, a learnable/teachable skill. And as such, we can group those who possess this skill into introverts and extroverts.

> individual addresses and/or transactions can be seen as "tainted", and those coins can be tracked through the Blockchain.

I'd say it's rather tainting transactions that use outputs of your "tainted" transaction. Personally I don't like bringing "coins" into discussion because people think it's something more material than it really is while in fact "coins" are just numbers in transaction outputs.

If you have transaction that sends 2 BTC to an address you can't taint 1 BTC out of it because in this scenario they are just numbers, like you can't distinguish both 1s in 1 + 1 = 2.

That you can track transactions back to their mining block is another matter.
Prices can move without filled orders no problem as orders get cancelled. If market makers start pulling out, the order book can become extremely thin. For the passive traders that stay in they'll probably react much more strongly to trades on the book, so even if some liquidation makes it through much won't.

The problem with git on this is it is actually often sort of hard to find "the right" way to do things. This
is in large part because of the popularity of git. There is so much content and a good deal disparate (e.g. Stack Overflow).

Mercurial on the other hand has far less content and it is maybe a little more consolidated and thus IMO slightly easier to find.

SOAP was intended to facilitate the same programming model but more loosely coupled. So that's not at all far off.

It just didn't make the usability leap over to web development that happens outside an IDE.

I'd consider myself an expert on Git, and I use a GUI of sorts for the vast majority of my Git work: Magit in Emacs.

It has many of the advantages that you describe; makes it easier to get an overview of what's going on, makes it easier to stage individual files, folder, lines of code, hunks, etc.

There are a couple of cases in which I need to fall back to the Git command line, but it's not very often, and I do find it substantially improves my life.
> There's three "versions" of the code at play, if you will:

This is weird. The staging area is like a commit but not a commit. They're changes that git is aware of and has a record of but not quite a permanent record.

Why not just make it a commit? You can always keep editing commits, or throw them out, or whatever. That's what I do with Mercurial. I write a commit and I keep adding stuff to it if I think it needs more stuff (or less stuff).
