If I'm doing something for free, I don't mind doing it for free (obviously). If I'm doing something for money, I want to be paid my going rate; otherwise, either find someone else or sell me on just volunteering. I'd never charge $20/hr for software stuff -- it's basically $0/hr (which is most of my time, by choice) or market rate. It's actually the market rate billing that free me up to volunteer with open source projects in the first place.

Seems like their data is a bit odd. I'm under the assumption that they simply curated well known cities.

They didn't have my hometown (Rochester, NY) stating that it is not prone to 90F days. I looked up the weather reports for the last 3 months and found there have been 15 days of >90F temperatures. Meanwhile, Boston had one third the number of 90F days and is included in their data. Nearby cities like Buffalo and Syracuse are included.

> Potato/potato. Do you consider the Pax Romana to be peaceful? Arguably, if your neighbors are "barbarians" or "infidels", the most peaceful thing you can do is conquer them to put an end to their incessant warring and impose civilization.

If you asked me if Rome was peaceful, I would tell you no. But no one is claiming that Rome is peaceful. Once again, there is nothing peaceful about conquering your neighbors, especially ones that didn't attack you first.

> Remember that the Arabs (prior to the caliphate) were used as proxy troops/mercenaries by the Persians/Romans for centuries under the guise of the Ghassanids and Lakhmids. This has repercussions.

Next you will argue that Russia had the right to attack UkraIne because Kievan Rus attacked the people that lived in the areas that are now Russia centuries ago.

> I'm not arguing that sharia is a modern, progressive system of law. In the context of 650 AD, though, it definitely was.

I don't know enough detail to comment on it either way. "I'm not arguing that sharia is a modern, progressive system of law." - we are on the same page then. With that, comes the idea that any comments on "peaceful" and "rightfully counter-attacking" would only, possibly apply in the context of the time.

Same here for me, but with Emacs. I've used it for decades and love it. One day I heard that VSCode had an MIT license, so I figured I'd see what all the fuss was about.

Wow. Everything actually "just worked". Python had perfect syntax highlighting out of the box. It noticed that I had pylint installed and started using it. It was trivially easy to set up per-workspace virtualenvs. Its git plugin certainly isn't the awesomeness that is Emacs's magit, but it's totally sufficient for normal day-to-day workflows.

It's now been a couple of months since I fired up Emacs at all, and now most of my coworkers have also switched to VSCode (yay for making it easy to share settings among coworkers within a project!). I am far, far from an MS fanboy, but they hit this one out of the park. Well done, team.

No, not necessarily: https://thetech.com/2012/08/01/cashwinfall-v132-n30

Specifically https://www.mass.gov/files/documents/2016/08/vv/lottery-cash...

>Based on the documents reviewed by the OIG and the interviews described above, I have concluded that Cash WinFall was a financial success for the Lottery . It generated about $300 million in ticket sales, with nearly $120 million of that going to Lottery operations and the pool of funds distributed to cities and towns. The high -volume bettors were a financial boon to the Lottery, collectively buying roughly $2 million in tickets for a typical roll -down drawing – 40 percent of which the Lottery would keep to redistribute to cities and towns. Cash WinFall was designed to attract a huge influx of betting by distributing a windfall to bettors whenever the jackpot reached $2 million. The emergence of individuals and groups buying large volumes of tickets was legal and financially advantageous to the Lottery . As long as the Lottery announced to the public an impending $2 million jackpot that would likely trigger a roll -down, an ordinary bettor buying a single ticket or any number of tickets was not disadvantaged by high- volume betting. In short, no one’s odds of having a winning ticket were affect ed by high- volume betting. Small bettors enjoyed the same odds as high- volume bettors. When the jackpot hit the roll -down threshold, Cash WinFall became a good bet for everyone, not just the big -time bettors . However, the unique structure of the game created unprecedented enforcement challenges for the Lottery.

Some good food for thought there.

But I think we need to go on what we know so far, i.e. look at evidence from the scientific community and use our own observations.

You probably thought I put too much emphasis on 'experience pain like we do'.

What I meant was that - I'm borrowing words from C. Sagan - "They (animals) are too much like us". I didn't mean that they exactly experience pain like we do - maybe they do, maybe they don't. But I'm certain animals trapped in the large scale meat industry do suffer.

There have been numerous studies that show that animals feel pain, they think & feel.

And then there are our own observations - if you were growing up with pets - you'll know that animals have their own personality and do whimper and scream out when they are hurt and they do avoid any sources of pain if they can. Same for farm animals.

I think your questions already contains an answer. The line you're talking about or the circle of protection is growing.

There was a time were we exploited and caused enormous suffering towards other human beings on a large scale. We don't do that anymore and have laws that protect against that. We also think that cruetly towards animals is bad and have laws against that. Just those laws don't extend torwards farm animals - I'm sure that time will also come - more and more people are waking up and agree that the way we treat farm animals is just perverted and sick (see Earthlings https://vimeo.com/209647801).

And if we find evidence in the future that there are other ways to be sentient like you hinted at, we will also expand our circle of protection (compassion) to those life-forms.

Can't fail to remember the same trick used by megacorps outside Internet. Once Coca-Cola wanted to be certified as kosher. It of course did not want to uncover its secret recipe. They knew though that a mix of plant-based components is normally considered kosher is each component is also kosher. So they presented a huge list of such components and claimed that all components of Coca-Cola are listed there, among other, unrelated components. The list was considered kosher, and thus Coca-Cola the drink, too.

The difference is that they only had to do it once to keep their secret. This software needs to do it many times per real request.
I'm no C++ expert (I'm actually just starting my first job in a few weeks using it!) but is it really true that C++ exceptions have no runtime cost at all? I thought various optimisations aren't possible to implement in the presence of exceptions; for example, a move constructor that isn't marked "noexcept" will not be used during a std::vector resize (instead it defers to the copy constructor), right? Isn't that a runtime cost?

I have a bunch of docker wrappers for restarting various things. I have some GNU Make targets, flake8, ansible-playbook calls that I run, some django targets. Since I structure things similarly, I'm 100% okay with the idea that a specific command is useless in a specific project (i.e no make for X).

But the idea is that I can than wrap django's manage.py to collect just the commands we write, do something similar for make targets, and selected other things - so that I can just continue working and check on the task later.

In my mind, almost anything other than linting, debugging, profiling, and deploying shouldn't need to interrupt my flow.

I'm not a great programmer, I can't usually write code that does exactly what I expect the first time, so I use unit tests with a debugger in my IDE to run small portions of my new code until it works the way I envisioned it before I started writing it.

This is a lot faster than my old method of writing code that doesn't quite work, and running the whole program over and over with small changes and print statements each time.

The UX of moving what I'm looking at instantly under click is very unpleasant too, www. and http and even the "secure" "not secure" banners is like 200px shifts.

Lots of google's UI is getting (or has) things shifting instantly under the pointer it's quite annoying. The new gmail design quick-tools are often in the way, unknown until you actually click. Hell calling on my phone shifts the speaker and keypad buttons over instantly when someone picks up. Often placing the person I just called on hold if they answer too fast.

Wasn't this a pretty well covered UX rule to not move shit around on users. Up there with don't use modes and the like.
What they do not model is the local effect of the cities that will need to be built to service all these panels. 9,000,000 square KM is a gigantic area. Millions of people will be needed to maintain these farms. Those people will need to either live locally or be transported regularly. The study should model how the presence of those people in such a relatively underpopulated area will impact local climate.

1 person per km2 = 9million people. But I'd bet you would need a couple dozen people for every km2 of solar farm, and associate infrastructure, meaning perhaps 100 millions people. And then all the people to provide services to those people ... this is like building a few new countries from scratch.
Beside the (wrong) idea of protecting the cables from corrosion, the concrete, as you said, was there to improve stability.

It is pre-stressed concrete, it is working in compression against the cable tension. The idea is that as the load increases, instead of pulling directly on the cables, it just decompresses the concrete.

You can think of the cable as a spring, with the bridge suspended it. As you walk on the bridge, it bounces. To prevent the bouncing, you can put the spring under high tension into a rigid pipe, with the ends of the spring attached to the ends of the pipe. This way, as you walk on the bridge, the spring tension will stay constant, only the compression on the pipe will vary.
This report is looking at interesting issues, in a mostly pointless way (ask people what they think). The only part of it that was of any real use is the part where you can compare C-level answers to developer answers to the same question, not because either one is likely to be accurate, but because the delta between the two is of interest.

Otherwise, I would say most of what they're looking at (what is bad code, how productive are developers, etc.) is so hard to measure, that the opinions of people on them are nearly useless. There may be a company or two out there that has a good handle on the productivity of their developers, the level of technical debt in their current codebase, etc. But surely most of them do not, and thus an average of the opinions of many people about something they have no clear handle on how to measure, is worse than useless.
It’s amazing to me in this day in age that there are no actual videos of the collapse. Not even from a car camera. I’ve searched everywhere and it would really be a very useful piece of information to have in order to diagnose what really happened.
> Finally, we wanted to start annotating types with Flow to perform static type checking at build time, and we concluded that the chaining syntax doesn’t lend itself well to static analysis, since almost every result of a jQuery method call is of the same type.
