The population you desire to be able to update tickets is... shall we say, "larger" ? ;) than the population you desire to be able to update code.

For any project where the bug-updaters and the code-updaters are plausibly the same set, this could be a useful thing.

But even for modest projects I'm doing for customers, it'd be awkward.

I also think the type of data your bug-updaters or bug-reporters would generate would be very different. Do you really want 23 gargantuan screenshots as blobs retained in perpetuity?

My kneejerk is that the bug metadata is a different _kind_ of data than the source, and trying to shoehorn them into the same container will be stuffy in most cases.
Before Tesla, electric and especially hybrid cars were (needlessly) seen by society as dorky and lame. In a culture like America's, for a category of cars, that's a death knell condemning them to living in a niche forever. Silly as that barrier was, Tesla managed to change it.
IMO It should be feasible to build data bridges for integrating or syncing with related systems.

That said, as a developer I'd love it if I could track my more technical thoughts & needs without having to go to my enterprise tools where BA's run wild & confused. The trade-off of course being more dissonance and potentially a failure to advocate for this work in planning, unless you synchronize data somehow.

I really don't give a shit what society thinks about who I sleep with, but there's a type of basic, visceral 'punch in the gut' feeling I get when faced with a very physically attractive woman which never happens with a man.

I'm well aware of the theory. I used to subscribe to it myself when I was younger. I won't go into why reduce population wouldn't affect farm yields since back then, farming was a very physical endeavor requiring many people. If yields did increase, it was most likely because of population increase in the countryside due to europeans fleeing disease ridden cities. Lets not forget that most of the attributed
population decline was due to cities being emptied because city dwellers moved to the countryside. Just like isaac newton did in the 1600s when disease struck england.

I would think that numbers, knowledge, technology and goods from the east had more to do with changing european society than a population decrease.

What do you think impacted korea more? The deaths during the korean war or trade with the west? What impacted european wages more? The deaths during WW2 or the american-led trade system?

Also, throughout history, there have been quite a few plagues ( not to mention mass killings ). Those didn't lift wages. China's wages didn't rise after tens of millions of people died during the taiping rebellion. But you are free to believe what you want.

Maybe I missed something, but this method seems sketchy. Merely by counting the number and type of troops at a battle, the author then assigns a % chance for a win on each side. Since Napoleon won numerous battles, and there was much more data for his battles than others like Alexander the Great, the author concludes he was the best general ever. And yet all he has done is look at troop numbers. What about the succession of battles in linear time? The morale of the troops on both sides (side note: Napoleon thought morale was by far the most important characteristic of an army)? The conduct of lower ranking officers? The technology that is brought to bear?

These unaddressed factors may clarify the analysis of General Lee, for instance, who was facing extremely incompetent opponents for the majority of the war, and by the end he was then facing more advanced weaponry, better supplied opponents, and another competent general in Grant. I am not on the Lee bandwagon by any stretch, I think he made some risky moves that paid off, but he also made an absolutely unforced error at Pickett's charge which completely lost him the troop number advantages gained at other battles. And if you're facing McClellan who is incapable of attacking you for months despite superior forces and odds, then you don't truly deserve heaps of accolades.

These are all crucial questions that lie far beyond the author's simplistic approach. The data simply isn't enough to warrant the conclusions, nor does the author arrive at them in a statistically sound manner.
Relevant: I've recently build a DOS based retro gaming PC using an old Epia 5000 mini-itx motherboard. The reason I picked this board (other than I already had one) is that it has onboard support for Ad-Lib and Soundblaster audio, meaning most DOS era games playback audio without any modification.

These boards still pop-up from time to time on ebay, and are way cheaper than a modern ad-lib clone card.
Very good point. To this, I would add that the internet and the wide-spread use of English are reinforcing, instead of confronting, the anglo-american cultural bubble...
I lived in China for almost 10 years and had to use cash all the time. Towards the end of that alipay and whatever wepay became popular. I moved back to the states and went back to using a credit/debit card or everything, and haven’t been to an ATM in a year and I don’t even bother carrying around cash at all anymore.

Alipay was solving a China-specific problem (credit card infrastructure and policies were never really very good), why would westerners stop using cards to awkwardly hold their phones up to QR scanners? That just isn’t going to happen. It is a sovereignty issue at all, it just doesn’t make sense. The west doesn’t have the small scale retailers that would benefit from that, everyone in retail can afford at least Square.

Google is a wonderful tool but I would prefer to not search for the person online, as I am more concerned that false positives might unfairly bias my opinions on the applicant.
Again, it’s not that they haven’t figured it out, it’s that there is no need to do it. I’ve seen how payments happen with the phone by exhanging QR codes, it’s a nice trick, but how could anyone claim that is better than the chip, swipe, and tap infrastructure already pervasive in the west? China basically skipped credit and debit cards, the West didn’t.
It is not odd that the tides have turned against Musk. What is odd is that it took this long for the tides to turn against him. That a company is still around after incinerating cash so rapidly and consistently for ~16 years is an incredible feat. There is big money betting against him, but there is also big money betting for him.

Most of Musk's troubles are of his own doing. He took enormous risks in rushing the Model 3 to production and frankly they have been disastrous. His SEC troubles (which are just starting) are entirely of his own doing.
>> It's important to us that users are able to use tools and workflows that they're comfortable with on X in a secure manner on Wayland.

X is a free-for-all. X-eyes is cute but should not be possible.

At some point, a web application is going to want to take a screen-shot (webX anyone?). The web browser will then be given permission to take screen shots without user interaction, and then it's all over. Sharing ones screen is NOT a browser function, it's an OS function. Changing the way software developers see this is the correct path forward, but it's hard. Providing people the same functionality that X did will lead to the same problems that X has.

That's just, like, your opinion, man. Setting aside arguments as to the mere existence of "objective reality". You're essentially saying "the way I see it is the only way to see it", which does not help convince someone who sees it differently.

> Both Soviet (and Chinese) parties in power were (and are) nominally "Communist", not "Socialist".

I have to disagree with this, especially given that the CPC claims that China is in the "primary stage" of socialism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_stage_of_socialism. Communism in its original Marxist form is classless and stateless, which the PRC and the USSR certainly are/were not. Both countries were/are run by communist parties, but said communists recognise/d that a conversion from an agrarian, nominally capitalist society to a communist one would take a long time and require transition through a socialist state, as Marx originally laid out.

> My favorite example of communism implemented in real life is a hermit / monastic retreat, a skete.

The benefit to small communities is that it is easier to police for attitude and morality. Even more so if it's a religious community, though I'm sure Marx is rolling in his grave that you would call a religious community communist given communism's materialist philosophy.

> From the amount of hermits in a society you can estimate how popular this mindset might be, and how realistic is it to involve an entire population into it.

That's putting the cart before the horse somewhat. I know of many people who retreat from society in a hermit-like fashion for reasons other than asceticism or self-actualisation.

> Post-scarcity won't solve it, because it's not going to make people automatically care about the common good as a way of self-actualization.

But it will remove the primary need for an economy: effective distribution of scarce resources. It would also reduce the need for political hierarchy because property rights would become largely unnecessary to enforce.

> This is why the idealist Communist leaders of early Soviets spoke so much about "raising a new man", basically hoping to change the nature of humans.

They spoke about a lot of things that are purely based in ideology and do not gel with how the world works. Lysenkoism and the Four Pests Campaign strike me as good examples.

>>> Neural networks belong to the differentiable realm, while code generation belongs to the discrete

Even a GAN discriminator step to simulate or even compile and run generated program may never produce the desired output. Getting 99.9% accuracy simply won't do in this domain. Even down to the final curly bracket, the program must be perfect.

Thing is we have an excellent model already. Composed of the architectures, instruction sets, binaries and code. A massive search space for x86-64. But perhaps solvable for 8-bit AVR on modern gpu cloud clusters.

I think, the problem is just easy access to twitter. We have seen so many downfalls on Twitter, due to irresponsible tweeting, haven't we? I think, its just that.

Before the "pedo" tweet, I never felt, any problem with his tweeting. But now, this is the second big gaffe.

A twitter buffer feature, could have avoided both issues.

But at the same time, I won't like him to delete his account. Kind of enjoy his tweets - and knowing that they are his (sometimes raw) thoughts.

May be we just need to forgive more. If a person wants to recall a tweet. What they tweeted should not be held too much against them, perhaps.

>Do you really want 23 gargantuan screenshots as blobs retained in perpetuity?

A really good point. I'd say you should use something like this for internal bug tracking, and link to external bug reports instead.

Whether you accept an external bug report as an actual bug is a question in itself, which should be dealt with beforehand. I'd say this is good for notetaking for the team and for seeing which bugs are resolved in which version.
I'm aware of the API key included in one of the modules. The reason for this is that having people get their own API key just to try it is a bit of a hassle. The account isn't coupled to a credit card or anything, the worst someone can do is push it up to the rate limit, at which time, well, people will have to get their own API key. Thanks for the heads up though!

I'd throw Omaha in that list as well. Three large to midsize universities within 1 hour, and there are few options outside of banks or insurance companies.

Short sellers don't need Tesla to fail to make money. There's plenty of room between Tesla being worth 50-60 billion and Tesla being worth 0. 50-60 billion of market cap means that Tesla has to do some absolutely crazy things in the next few years in an increasingly competitive environment while they've struggled consistently to meet production targets in less competitive environments. They have some problems such as a convertible bond issue for almost one billion due in Feb'19 that only adds to the cash burn problems if they can't meet the $360 convertible price. Short sellers push a narrative because they want the price to go down, but they really only take the position because they think that the market has currently mispriced the firm and there is opportunity there. They're not inventing problems, they're pointing out that they're there (perhaps exaggerating, but that's for the people to identify if true or not with the money they put on longs/shorts for Tesla).

Complexity is always the enemy, but only if you have to deal with it

I think that we got to where we are now exactly because of the addition "but only if you have to deal with it". Software consumes many useless cycles exactly because developers on all layers shift their responsibility to deal with complexity to other layers (either the CPU, or the downstream developer). Sometimes it's because they have to, but most of the time it's simply because there's too much distance between producing and consuming developers.

being humane to the users

"users" all too easily implies end-users only. I'd add that developers also need to be humane to downstream developers (circle of influence and all that), including better API design and better instrumentation hooks. But that latter would be adding complexity :(
