I've been introducing Jason and Christopher from the Cloud Builder team to Concourse over the past few months. Jason & Co also developed Knative Build which closely tracks the Cloud Builder design.

I am hoping to see Concourse come in through the Pipelines proposal on Knative, but it will be necessary to digest a Concourse-on-Kubernetes epic first.

(Please come and sing the Concourse-is-amazing hymn with me on Knative, we both know it's for the good)

Disclosure: for those who don't know, I work for Pivotal and I'm a bit of a Concourse fan.
I once had an interesting argument about Learning Perl.

The first chapter, when I picked up the book, was a tour of Perl. I loved it. It showed me all of the highlights with no details at all. I never read another chapter, and instead picked up the second book in the series to use as a reference.

My counter in this argument HATED that first chapter. They almost didn't read another one, because it put all of these examples in front of them with no depth. They thought the book would be much improved by removing that chapter.

I would have been bored to tears by the book this person wanted to read.

I'm not going anywhere in particular with this, except to say that the world takes all kinds. Sometimes docs don't exist simply because nobody realized someone else would find that shape of document useful, so they decided not to write it.

The docs I love may well be the docs you hate :)

I'm not super quick to think they're doing something malicious here. I've experienced this exact thing at two of my jobs this decade, one of which I currently work at. Firefox and especially Edge are often just slower for some DOM manipulation use cases and style recalculations.

Well, that's a shame. I hate eating in the morning, and love eating in the evening. I find it surprising that earlier humans in history didn't follow this pattern, allowing the body to adapt to digesting food later at night.

You can also just have tooling to find every reference of a function and then refactoring all at once, sending it out in a single pr, but that's a bit more advanced
Thanks for fantastic questions,

Currently. my product can support 2 types IP and FPGA.
That IP has implemented with fabric AXI version to interface the other system. I hope the customers can easily implement to their system. and also that patents are proceeding.

Especially, Thanks for "Start identifying specific markets/customers and think about how one might move towards packaging/productizing your prototype for those customers." reply.
I believe Trump stance on China is being diluted by using the same quota for allies such EU, AU and CA and seeking better conditions for countries such Russia. Some of the terms he is trying to impose will never be agreed(i.e lower food safety standards in the EU).
Even well written standards are not objectively audited. There’s a huge variety in the quality of external auditing, and a fair amount of pay-to-play. A lot of people will tell you that every PCI certified company to ever be involved in a breach was non-compliant at the time of the breach. Is that because the PCI DSS is such a remarkable standard that complying with it will protect you from 100% of breaches? Or is it because you can retroactively find some type of issue with 100% of PCI audits?

Depends on they length of the fast. Intermittent fasting focuses on the benefits of not eating for extended periods, and fast lengths can vary from 12 hours to entire days. Time-restricted eating focuses on the benefits of eating daily within a specific time window.

The "standard" 16/8 intermittent fast would get all the benefits of time restricted eating as well.
I think it's a mistake to combine progress in human rights and economic rights. While people worked towards greater civil rights, corporations worked to enhance their own power at everyone else's expense. They just happened at the same time.

To a large degree, the entire US has become that town in the old Western where the rich were above the law.

It strikes me as especially ironic now that people horde firearms against the day when their democratic rights are taken away. They're already gone.

It's worth mentioning that the national labs are also considered a wartime resource. Having geographic separation is an asset in that sense.
Submodules are cutting edge and have cutting edges. The user experience on some corner cases can be painful. Example: if you happen to have unrelated conflicts when you rebase some patch across a submodule update, you're most likely going to end up committing a reversal of the submodule update.
It's hard to prove a link that someone knows something about a competitor's company and thus counting on the stock to tank. However, depending on the prosecution they may charge the miscreant with other crimes e.g. possession of trade secrets. FWIW the CIO of Equifax found out about the Equifax breach obliquely and was charged with insider trading while the CEO made sone suspicious trades before the press release and was not charged.

As for your last point, I think that's the role of the market speculators and usually the SEC or other enforcement agencies do not take an active role in policing these actions unless there is compelling evidence that a crime has been committed.
I also dearly hope that Western cultural fractures don't turn into this.

And no, humans are not cheaper than self-driving trucks. They appear so at the beginning of a conflict because wars usually start when there's an excess of humans and a shortage of resources for them all. However, it takes 18 years to grow a human to the point where they can fight in a war, and another year or two to train them. It takes 2-3 years to tool up a factory to produce drones & self-driving trucks (and maybe a decade to get the software right), but once you do, you can produce one every couple days. Assuming you can maintain your industrial & technological base long enough to get that factory up, guess which one is going to win?

The limiting factor for the Japanese in WW2 wasn't planes, it was trained pilots - they had no problem crashing the planes into ships with untrained pilots because those were both abundant resources, but were incapable of fighting a sustainable air war.
Yes, me too. If you're interested, my current list is:

- A State of Trance with Armin Van Buuren (though recently he's started adding much more talking so I'm close to dropping it)

- Club Life with Tiësto

- Hardwell on Air

- Corsten's Countdown

- Afrojack: Jacked Radio (this one is really hit-or-miss for me. I skip maybe half the episodes)

As an aside:

- the "Song Exploder" podcast is a fascinating view into what goes into making music though that one falls into the "Talk" category

- I love the old "Timeless Mixes" by the (now defunct) DJ River. Which are helpfully all available as a podcast, so once in a while I'll mark a few of them as unplayed so my player will download them and add them to the playlist.
I've never gotten a company to actually change terms, but I have turned them down on that basis. I would say, make sure you look for jobs while you either still have one, or have comfortable savings. That way you can hold out for what you want instead of having to take what comes along.

In the U.K. we are getting challenger banks which are free. It’s super easy to open a new FREE account and spread your money around. You also get 2-3 diffeycards so even if you lose one or two you still have access to you money. Plus you can always transfer between accounts for free using their mobile apps.

It’s a pretty sweet deal so I’m wondering if there isn’t anything like that in the US. With SV I’d be very surprised if the U.K. is pioneering this
Me too; I find it easy to fast when I skip eating in the morning / afternoon — its like my body realizes its not getting any food and turns off the hunger.

Can you Rot13 what you're talking about? It's been a while but not sure what you're referring to.
I'm going to take a stab at answering this, but I am not an expert.

Insider trading applies to instances where you have _material, non-public_ information about a company. The criteria of what makes information material and non-public are a little bit of a gray area, but I'm going to just use it to mean "I know something about a company because I am in a position to be trusted by that company"

In other words, your example wouldn't be insider trading. You have no material, non-public information about correlated stocks or a competitors stock. You have a hunch that that stock will perform in a way related to the stock you have information on. AFAIK, theres nothing stopping you from acting on that hunch.

So of the 3 options presented, its probably a mixture between 1 and 3, leaning towards 1.
Syncthing is awesome. My main use of it is to share between my laptop and seedbox. Also if I want to share something with my friends in an unattended manner.
Not an expert but probably #3. It's trading based on non-public information.

You don't mention but is certainly just as illegal is passing on stock tips either unilaterally to friends and family, based on an arrangement to split profits, or otherwise profit indirectly. Obviously the more obfuscated (and smaller dollar) insider training is, the more difficult it is to detect.
Zotero: An open-source tool to help collect, organize, cite, and share research
I feel the same. It's a similar problem to code comments / commit messages. You look at a line of code and wonder, why on Earth is it there? You hope there's an explanatory comment nearby, or that you can git-blame your way into a commit message.

Law is similar, except on much longer timescales. I wish the laws would carry both inline explanation (comments), and explanations of reasoning and causes when changed (commit messages).
If you're in an enlightened state like CA, you may think things are not so bad. In MA, a low-level programmer working on, say, banking software, can be prevented for up to three years from working at another banking software company. Keep in mind, that experience is the prime driver of a person's ability to earn more money over time. I'm not talking about stealing secrets or brilliant insights. I'm talking about basic knowledge of how the banking industry works.

Of course now I've seen news stories about fast-food workers having similar non-competes, so i guess it can always be worse.
Same line of thinking, just different conclusions.

I feel terrible for anyone trying to run a company with open-source style independent repos. On a popular github project, you have MANY potential contributors that will tell you if a PR, or a release candidate break API compatibility, etc. There are thousands of hours in open source dedicated to fixing integration issues due to the (unavoidable) poly-repo situation.

Monorepos in companies are relatively simple. You need to dedicate some effort in your CI and CD infrastructure, but you'll win magnitudes by avoiding integration issues. Enough tooling is out there already to make it easy on you.

Monorepos' biggest problem in an org is the funding, as integration topics are often deprioritized by management, and "we spend 10k per year on monorepo engineering" for some reason is a tough sell for orgs, who seem to prefer to "spend 5k for each of the 5 teams so that they maintain their own CD ways and struggle integrating which incurrs another 20k that just is not explicitly labeled as such".

Developer team dynamics also play a role. I have observed the pattern now multiple times (N=3):

* Developers have a monolithic repo, that has accumulated a few odd corners over time.
* The feeling builds up that this monolithic repo needs to be modularized.
* It is split up into libraries (or microservices), this is kind of painful, but feels liberating at first (now finally John does not break my builds anymore)
* Folks realize: John doesn't break my builds anymore, but now I need to wait for integration on the test system to learn if he broke my code, and sometimes I only learn it in production.
* people start posting blog posts on monorepos

That pattern takes 2-3 years to play out, but I have seen it on every job I worked.

The one in Seattle suffered an axle break on a bridge, slamming into a charter bus.

These things are insanely heavy, put through daily stress, and are basically maintained by carnies.

Whether they're sinking like brick or eviscerating the sides of buses, it's clear that they don't belong on the road.

Can't they just sunset these stupid things for the sake of the businesses, let wealthy collectors buy the old boats for their own purposes (and at their own risk), and force "Ride the Ducks" (who constantly insists that is not a single entity, despite having the same brand and business model), to purchase modern amphibious tour buses that pass safety regulations.

Surely there would become an immediate demand for a safe, comfortable, maneuverable amphibious vehicle in the wake of a crackdown on these deathtraps.

> This is clearly detrimental to external projects such as Go packaging

Indeed. Google's monorepo means the largest cohort of Go programmers in the world are mostly indifferent to composing packages in the usual (cpan/maven/composer/npm/nuget/cargo/swift/pip/rubygems/bower/etc) manner. Non-Google Go programmers have been left to schlep around with marginal solutions for years, although in the last few months we begin to see progress here[1]. This was the #1 discouragement I experienced when experimenting with Go.

Google's monorepo may be wonderful from Google's perspective but I don't think it's been a win for Go.

* yes I know some of these are also build systems and provide many other capabilities, some of which are arguably detrimental. Versioned, packaged, signed dependencies and thus repeatable build artifacts is the point.

Let me give you a scenario. For simplicity's sake, I'm a senior exec of a company in an industry dominated by two companies: $ME and $THEM. My company is about to release a rotten earnings report because $THEM is eating our lunch. While you're probably less likely to be caught and prosecuted, you're still trading on inside information if you buy a bunch of $THEM stock immediately in advance of your rotten earnings release.
Part of what drove me crazy about Zendegi is that the guy funding the mind-uploading project is constantly portrayed as crazy and selfish for his goals of living longer through uploading, though as soon as one of the protagonists gets sick, suddenly the goal is an exciting possibility for that protagonist in particular (he's had a hard life, so it's noble for him I guess) ... and when the plan falls short because the tech isn't developed enough, the entire idea is back to being regarded as ridiculous and one of the other protagonists campaigns to stop more research from being done in the area. It felt like picking up a sci-fi book from someone known for writing space sci-fi, and then being expected to sympathize with the protagonist who wants NASA shut down after Apollo 1 burns.

Maybe it just bugs me a little extra because it's the apex of a weird pattern also in Permutation City and the short story Crystal Nights (which is a fun read!): the story's cool tech, the thing you came to the story for, is pushed by an unlikable character, and everyone else despises the character and everything they stand for including the tech. There's a lack of likable characters that sympathize with the reader in how cool the technology could be; it's harder to sympathize with the protagonists who seem too unimaginative to see how cool the tech could be. I get that the author is probably trying to make a point that technology can be abused by bad people and that most people aren't going to see the possibilities of new tech ... but I think he's getting worse at making that point, or the point is just getting grating being re-executed in the same way several times over.

And the other thing that drives me crazy about Zendegi is the time it spends with the lazy caricatures[0] of real people. It's a little personal given that Eliezer Yudkowsky is one of my favorite authors, but that's only part of it. The caricatures are lazy. Egan might as well have made each of the characters boast of having a small dick. And the bad caricatures aren't just a few unflattering introductions, but form a whole subplot that mostly doesn't affect the main plot or the protagonists at all; it exists just to take shots. And then the caricatures are mainly ridiculed for dreaming big (in ways the story cheaply makes out to be dumb or selfish), especially about AI. I come to Egan books to dream big. Egan's previous books were likely part of what taught many people to dream big in this!

I'm sure some of the things I call problems could be done well and aren't automatic disqualifiers, but the sum of all of them in one book with the execution they had just left a surprisingly terrible taste in my mouth.

I like this answer. I actually feel like a shorter work week is probably way less productive than just having more vacation time. When I have momentum on a project I love spending time killing it. When I’m wrapping up a project I would love to have the freedom to ramp the hours down (maybe 3 4 day weeks in a row) then take a 2 week vacation. If I could do that once a quarter I would be very happy.
Dumping all code in a single repo, even for a 30 man development shop was really tough. Doing so for a company of few thousands must be truly crazy.

I advice Google to replace the person in their internal IT who came up with that idea.

In Perforce, which is more or less what Google is using, you can branch any directory within the repo. (You would never branch the whole repo; that makes no sense.) So if you wanted to construct a directory with one version of one subdirectory, and a different version of another subdirectory, that's quite straightforward.
