Sure. But at the end of the day Nintendo aren't some bad actor company that's forcing people to spend thousands in repair fees.

Trusted by whom? Essentially it's a group of internet hackers that are doing it for internet fame. Or in the case of others to make money off selling any hardware tools required.

"actions of companies who want to lock out users from the devices they own."

This doesn't really matter. When someone buys a Nintendo Switch they are aware that you can only use software from an official channel from the manufacturer.

It's not a sneaky action by them nobody is forced to use a Switch and its primary functionality is consuming entertainment products.

It's not like a router or tv set top box that you are forced to use.

Open hardware (in the sense of OS/software) is cheap and available today. If you don't want to be locked out of doing what you want to a device, then don't buy a locked down device.
This is a beautiful video. I have a general concept of what's going on - maybe someone with more knowledge can correct me: the video shows the guy building a tetrode, which is a way to either control voltage or current depending on how its used. In the testing portion of the video he shows the current response as he varies the voltage through the tube... (?)
I recently completed a big interntionalization/localization project at my day job that took weeks of development time and coordination across the company. I wanted to find a better way to approach this problem and realized it's possible to do with javascript on the client side.

Now you can translate your website to 100+ local languages in just a few minutes by adding a javascript snippet to your site. This is meant for small to medium sized businesses that can't afford the weeks of development time to translate their site for international customers.

Let me know what you think! All feedback is appreciated.
I had this thought too, but do we realistically know anything about what types of devices are likely to respond to ping? What's the alternative? Try to initiate a TCP handshake to every port of every IP? How many servers are in UDP listen only mode or whitelist IPs to whats on their network?
Fun stuff.

Creator of Jenkins & CTO of CloudBees here.

Thanks for using Jenkins for close to 10 years and sorry to see you move on, but I just want to correct the record here because I don't think the time line of events and your description are accurate.

First, pipeline stages have never been restartable in Jenkins from the beginning of Jenkins Pipeline. It wasn't as if we started with restartable stage and decided to close-source it at one point. From the very beginning, it was a feature we exclusively developed for CloudBees products.

From time to time, we do move some features from products to Jenkins. As somebody later in the thread pointed out, in JENKINS-45455 we are doing just that. Another example of this from early days is the folders feature, which is now used by many.

Any company building enterprise products on top of OSS will likely keep some features in products. And for any given person, only some of those features are likely useful. So while I understand the frustration of "that feature should be in OSS" or "I should be able to just get this one thing for a small price", I don't think there's anything inherently bad about these practices.

As for Pipeline stage view, it is still available today, and IIRC it is also still a part of Jenkins 2 default experience. Now, you are right that, as a contributor of the project, CloudBees is focused on pushing Blue Ocean forward. We think Blue Ocean solves the problem of pipeline result comprehension a lot better, and we'd rather make one solution better as opposed to work on two separate things that solves the same problem simultaneously. That is not to block other people from carrying the pipeline stage view forward, though, if anyone is willing.

I hope that helps,

I don't have to set a standard to make an observation that making TAs financially invested in the success of unions could bias their teaching.

You're imposing unreasonable standards on me to try to shut down debate. It's disingenuous.

>>As I have demonstrated multiple times, you do not have a good understanding of unions and economics.

You support Marxism! That doesn't suggest an empirically grounded understanding of economics.

As for what you've demonstrated, it's just been deflections from my points about the history of unions, and the main tools they utilized to gain leverage. I see no instance of you showing that I don't understand economics or unions.

It's not. For example, up until recently, you didn't need manager approval to get promoted at Google. Obviously feedback from your manager was considered, but if you could demonstrate your growth and your manager didn't like you, it was possible to be promoted anyway.

The people who made this decision we're specifically selected to not be familiar with you or your work. So it couldn't have anything to do with how anyone liked you.

But even beyond that, larger companies more commonly have codified ladders and clear rubrics or criteria for advancement and performance. This means that a manager must justify their rating against a set of objective criteria. Managerial bias can still creep in, but only on borderline cases. (And elsewhere in the workplace, but that's mostly unavoidable)

When I started using Travis I immediately got a fan of it. Not having worked with Jenkins before, when I first tried it (pre-blue ocean), I was shocked by the unnecessary complexity. Since then, I've settled with a self-hosted drone.io for private projects, it offers a very similar experience to Travis, while I don't feel like I'm lacking anything compared to Jenkins.

I have reported videos that people share that includes sexual acts, gun violence (with deaths), gang executions and bloody traffic accidents, and I think Facebook removes around 10% of what I report, the rest continues to live on their platform.

However, my friend who takes model pictures (some (most) with not a lot of clothes on) have received month long bans for not covering up nipples correctly, here is some of his shots: https://www.instagram.com/tonnynathanfoto/, it is interesting how a bit of nipple can result in a month long ban, but someone executing another person on camera is just fine.
I'm only speaking to the value of the experiment. Maybe something can be learned by conducting it, but not about the viability of UBI. It was a waste of time and money in that regard.

Humans are strange creatures. Most people I know on FB literally put their absolute best face forward on there.

Can someone explain in simple words what this is about? I've read the article, but I think I'm missing some context about these review boards and stuff.
You and others may thing you are being pedantic, but you are not. You are simply wrong.

If I get a Rolex watch as a gift, and a friend asks how much I paid for it, I would not be wrong to say "I got it for free." The fact that someone else paid for it doesn't change the fact that it was free for me.

The fact that someone paid for it is not contradictory to it being free.

In a later comment you say "Well, if we can redefine free to mean "I will let someone else pay for it" or "I will pay for it at some later date", then sure..."

"I will let someone else pay for it" is true, and it is not redefining free. It is free and someone else paid for it. Don't construct a world view where they are opposing each other.

And no, you will not pay for it at some later date. That's a loan, and is what we in the US often do for school. You may pay the tuition for other students who come after you, but there are usually ways to opt out of that with no penalty. And even if you do end up paying for others, it is not a reciprocal transaction. You are not paying for others' education because you received a free one. You would still pay for it even if you opted out of university.

Yes, the education is free.

Why am I taking the time to write this out? For two reasons:

1. Often (but not always) people like to make this point because they want to have a discussion of the wider economic system, and often about the pros and cons of that system. Yet you have not really made an effort to have that discussion so it may not have been your motivation.

2. If we go with your notion of what "free" means, then we should be consistent and realize pretty much nothing is for free. A plank fell off my fence. I could have paid someone to fix it, but instead I took a hammer and nails and got the work done for free. "Oh no!" says the listener. "Don't think you got it for free. You paid for it in labor, and in buying the hammer and nails." You respond with "Well no, I found the nails and hammer in the trash - someone was moving out". "Yes, but he paid for it, so still the work you did was not free."

These conversations never happen in real life. No one disputes that I did it for free.[1] So why do we allow ourselved to get sidetracked with the issue of whether health care or education is free - especially when it is not the purpose of the conversation at hand?

Well, OK - some people will question whether my time was worth it vs just paying someone, but that's the extent. And the analogue to "free" education would be "No it wasn't free. You spent 4 years of your life there - you need to consider the opportunity cost"

Seems to be a restriction of that particular carrier. I used multi / pair sims regularly years ago on several German networks (I.e. for car phones) and they would all ring on incoming calls.

> if it does the same thing your hammer does...

It does not do the same thing as my hammer. Not even close. As a matter of fact, with Vim you cannot get even half the functionality of a good graphical IDE or even something like VSCode without drastically lowering your standards.

> Optimizing the wrong thing...at the expense of just about every other aspect of computing...

Vim lacks discoverability. That's the first major aspect of computing that Vim just completely throws out the window.

Speaking of windows - Vim also lacks integration with the rest of your graphical OS by default. You can't use your normal graphical file picker, you can't just drag files into Vim and you can't easily configure Vims activity to be reflected in the rest of your OS (in areas such as recently-edited-files and so on). Sure, you can get a graphical version of Vim, but now you have 2 problems - you have to configure different versions of Vim to use it the way you want to.

Even the mouse pointer a hallmark of modern computing, is largely useless in Vim!

Also, text-based configuration is throwing out another majorly useful aspect of computing: convenient and easy to access settings.

Anyway, if you enjoy editing text like it's 1976 - that's fine with me. Just don't try and tell me it's as good as my hammer because it simply is not.

> 5. Did the government make everyone smarter or lower standards you ask? I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I think that moving from 3.4% to 50% University population has possibly diluted the fraction of geniuses within academia but greatly increased the number of geniuses within academia and improved education and academia as a whole.

(in all honesty, this is not about the UK)

No you can't. I mean how can you actually believe this ?

So why does 50% of the population now pass ? That's impossible if the standards were the same and therefore that cannot be what is happening ...

Anecdotally, there are also many articles and other sources of information that point out that lowering the bar is indeed what is happening.

As for my anecdote, being able to theoretically derive statistics from number theory was a required ability for any math degree, any CS degree, and even more than a few engineering degrees. Now you're lucky if a student mumbles out "just use anova" because that means they at least attended the work sessions. Knowing what the preconditions are is essentially unheard of, understanding why those are required preconditions (and therefore where & why you can "cheat") ... I have not seen a single student that was able to do that in a decade.

Now you can discuss whether this is required by the marketplace or not. But I was part of the decision to remove it and ... that was not the reason. "Everybody fails" (which meant slightly over 70%) was the reason. Needless to say, nothing was put in it's place, and no hard subject was ever introduced into the curriculum.

And that's not even the worst of it. Almost any degree now has an easier version associated with it. Frankly, that's how initially the university defended itself. Statistical calculator, roughly translated to English. But there's backlash. You see, employers realized that these people can't do statistics, they can only work SAS. Guess what the pressure is demanding ... Is this pressure that we now demand that these people now get a full math degree, and learn theoretical mathematics ?

Or is the pressure on for hiding the difference between people with the (very hard) theoretical understanding and the ones with just a few practical skills ?

What do you think ?

But I'm sure that you're right and in fact just a slight change in government policy was all that was required to make the entire population smarter, more precise and more able in theoretical maths. How lucky are we that we have a government that cares to make such a tiny change with such miraculous results !

Finland and Scandinavia (especially Norway) are great cases for basic income. Those families who are struggling to make ends meet do it because they can't start working or they will lose welfare. Basic income will allow them to enter workforce, gradually. You just need to start implementing basic income slowly, giving everybody time to adjust - start with €100, create system for it and debug it, then add another €100 each year until desired level.
I might have this wrong, but last I checked IIRC the deal is your non-EU spouse has a right to live with you (assuming you're an EU national) in any EU country other than your own. She would also have a work permit, should she choose to work. In your own country the local immigration rules apply to your non-EU spouse.

So for a UK citizen with a Taiwanese wife it would be extremely simple (until Brexit of course) to move with her, the "third-country national," to France or Austria or wherever. Whether it's also easy to move to the UK with her, I have no idea... but it's definitely not automatically approved in all EU countries.

Are PIPs public knowledge at your BigCo of choice?

Sounds like your (peripheral) experience has been positive, so not criticizing, just curious. I’ve always treated PIPs as something only to be discussed between manager and struggling employee.

One of the most painful things for me in administering PIPs is not the “you are on thin ice, here’s a bunch more structure and documentation” part, but rather, the requirement to keep the main focus of my management energy a secret from the rest of the team.

I can’t exactly say, “Yeah, [strong team member], I know it would have been way better if I’d done a prep meeting with that hard-to-deal-with team yesterday rather than throwing you in the deep water, but I was too busy making [failing team member]’s life miserable by hyping up the scrutiny and guidance so they stop breaking the team’s morale with their shoddy work.”

PIPs take a lot of time and effort for managers and the unfortunate recipient of them, so it’s kind of a hard thing to conceal.
There's actually something fascinating about the dominance / vassal premise: it applies within the US, and it applies within Europe as well.

Silicon Valley, Boston, NY, Seattle, and a few others dominate the US on tech, with the rest of the US mostly fitting into your tech vassal state premise.

The exact same thing is true within Europe for industry and tech. Germany overwhelmingly dominates Europe on auto manufacturing for example. What kind of cars are Russia, Spain, Portugal, UK, Poland, Ukraine, Greece, etc producing? The Germans are out selling and out producing the rest of Europe to an epic degree.

How many Airbus planes - and or what share of components - are manufactured in Romania, Czech, Greece or Poland? In Europe these are industrial vassal states to France or Germany.

The alternative is to switch to IPv6. There is no requirement to offer any particular publicly reachable service on an IP address, a machine or device might be completely firewalled off from directly communicating with the public internet, and it is still perfectly acceptable for it to have a globally unique IP address, so it is ultimately pointless to try and measure "the real utilization" using packets.
