It's true. My thinking was that there are some techniques that I use in both interactive shell usage and in scripts, and that using the same language for both would teach me them better. I'm trying to think what the best examples are, having run this experiment on myself for a couple of years now. I think one is process substitution with <() and io redirection stuff like <<<.

Also IIRC correctly bash and zsh differ in whether piped commands run in different subshells.

Stuff like that; I'd like to just have firmly in my mind for interactive shell and scripting and not have to know two similar languages.

But I miss tab completion for aliases.
Bangalore, India

- Traffic : The traffic situation in Bangalore has spiraled out of control over the last decade or so. IT has brought with it loads of people, and the lack of a decent intra-city transportation system, coupled with roads which were never designed to handle heavy traffic, and a total lack of respect for traffic laws (which is common across India TBH) have led to the traffic being so bad that some of the worst affected junctions actually have their own parody Twitter handles [1][2]. The metro system is helping a little, but for most parts of the city, own vehicles/Uber are still the only options (Unless you want to take the bus, which almost always involves switching buses. Also, many routes have buses which are old enough to be considered historic artifacts instead of a means of transport)

- Bad Urban Planning: This is actually responsible of traffic as well, but this point is more of an extension. Bangalore has arguably the worst urban planning for any major city in India. Garbage segregation is still not done in many places, Real estate growth has been thoughtless leading to lakes disappearing and the water table not getting replenished. It's been a cash grab in the truest sense and no doubt made conniving, corrupt politicians and the land mafia very rich. The sad part if places like Whitefield, which were outskirts of Bangalore and were developed SPECIFICALLY for people coming into industries are designed just as badly, if not worse, leading to massive problems across the board. Bangalore has lakes which are LITERALLY on fire and noone seems to care [3]. Studies say Bangalore will be practically unlivable soon [4], and sadly, it looks like government/public apathy is only getting us there sooner.

- Traffic : Yes it's bad enough to be mentioned twice.

+ Besides this, Bangalore is great! Tech opportunities are aplenty, both for employees and founders. VC capital is readily available and the internet market in India is rapidly expanding so market-creating applications are in high demand. Employees get higher salaries here than in most parts of the country and over the last decade, thanks to some big exits, equity has come to mean more than just paper money. The weather is great almost through the year (Goldilocks zone). Housing is costly and the real estate market is frothy, but renting is relatively cheap. Dining out options are aplenty for all price ranges. And since a big percentage of the population are here from a different part of the country/world, there's very little "Outsider feeling" and the city ends up as a cultural hotpot (Of course, that means Bangalore does not celebrate one major festival like other cities in India, but instead celebrates a hundred festivals with much less fanfare).

Except that the headline as written suggests that Uber is doing something unfair. Since it is the drivers' appeal that has been rejected by the Court maybe some alternative headline could have been:

"Drivers Waste Court Resources Only To Discover That Contracts Are Enforceable"
As another commenter posted, many court decisions have concluded violating the "spirit" as you put it is still unconstitutional.

They really buried the lede. There are two things happening here that can arguably be traced to one cause:

Educated millennials apparently see marriage as something you do _after_ you've finished establishing yourself. It is a goal, not a given.

Uneducated millennials apparently have the _same_ point of view, but they aren't established and therefore they aren't getting married.

Given that marriage often means you end up with the lower of the two credit scores, you're on the hook for debts, you're going to be paying jointly filed taxes regardless of future marital status, etc -- it absolutely makes sense not to get married until you're financially established. Now that the mystique of marriage is broken (thanks to those baby boomers get divorced in record numbers), it's no longer a rite of passage into adulthood.
I think the problem would be if their Search aspect were to be classified as a utility, then they would have to be more careful of their results manipulation.

So long as they are not regulated as such, then I don’t think the gov should get involved. But then again, that raises the question, should google be allowed lawfully to, say, supress all topics around Atheism, or Christmas or Hanukah or Russian meddling, if their management and ownership changed to one even more manipulative?

Neither Zoho, or Mattermark appear to registrars at all. So I am a bit confused by your question. TierraNet (the registrar) and Zoho had a conflict/issue which resulted in Zoho being offline for awhile.

Apple Music's recommendation and discovery is pretty abysmal. I guess this will fix that issue. I'm amazed at how bad it given they know the standard that has been set by their competitor Spotify.

When Apple acquired Beast we heard about how Jimmy Iovine and Dre were going to bring their understanding and expertise to Apple's music service. This now seems to have been a lot of bluster though. Apple had such a head start with iTunes, missed the boat with streaming, spent a fortune on Beats and finally seemed to be getting serious about their streaming music offering. And the product has been somewhere between underwhelming and "just OK."

It's interesting to see that Apple's solution is to just buy their way out of their discovery problem. For a company with unlimited resources and great design skills it's strange that Apple is not really good at building services.

Having said that if $50k is a drop in the ocean, then why not. But if it is a choice between the car and some kind of investment I'd prefer the investment.

You can dispute the bill and apply for exemptions that are applicable to you, but it doesn't help much.

Headline is misleading. Not only does the article provide no contextualizarion about the “coffee-swilling journalists” covering the trial, it also abruptly ends at the trial settlement and says very little about how Americans’ perspective on caffeine changed as a result, only that the test results made caffeine look good.

A good read, for sure, but does little to describe how Americans - who were apparently drinking twice as much caffeine in Coca Cola then as now - came to love caffeine.

If this had been an Atlas Obscura piece, I expect I would have come away with a feeling of fullness and satisfaction, like eating a well balanced meal. Instead I feel empty and unfulfilled...like drinking a can of soda.

> ui for connecting signals and slots and configuring stuff as well, but few people use it.

I try hard to do that (it saves on boilerplate), but the challenge is always in finding signals and slots with the same precise amount of parameters. Say I trigger a signal with no parameters and I want to connect it to a slot that takes a boolean always with the same value (e.g. a pressed() connected to a setEnabled(bool), where bool should always be True), I can't do that in Designer, it has to be in actual code - a trivial one-liner, sure, but still one more line of technical debt.

(INB4 "ur doing it wrong": yes, I know about clicked(bool), toggled(bool) etc, it was just an example to explain the concept.)
> ... with top “citizen scores” get VIP treatment at hotels and airports, cheap loans and a fast track to the best universities and jobs.

Like, come on. There is no possible way this won't be gamed to death. I can't conceive of this system ever working for more than 7 years, max. And then having people in the algorithmic underclass? Jesus. This is pretty much forcing a revolution to happen. Once you end up at the bottom, what do you have to loose? Unless there is a 'bankruptcy' mechanism, this is obviously doomed to failure.
Only if you think “forced” is somehow inherently unfair.
Personally, I judge things based on results.

And the actual, real life results for most unions today... is not great. I am not even talking about industrial era stuff. I am talking about existing examples of unions.

If this innovation and disruption of the union industry was so easy, then someone would be doing it. But they aren't.

And I have no reason to believe that techies would be any better at solving the inherent problems of unions, better than all the other people who have tried. IMO, it would inevitable run into exact the same problems as the ones you see today in existing unions.

How else should we judge things, than based on their results?

That definitely counts in my book. Milkdrop 2 introduced shader support at a time when GPUs were coming out with increasingly powerful shader support, which was mostly just used for video games, leaving an untapped artistic potential. This potential has been explored by Milkdrop 2 preset authors in astounding ways. I would say they were, for a while, ahead of the general demoscene in terms of crazy shaders.

(Looks like Milkymist doesn't support any of that since it emphasizes open hardware)
I would only believe this if people were also not getting divorced because they didn't want to lose access to health care. If you have any statistics on this, that'd be interesting.

Otherwise, you're simply saying there's a force exerting pressure to get married. Yet the data shows that this force is far less effective than whatever forces existed 50 years ago. People are not getting married _more_ than baby boomers, they're getting married _less_. And then they're divorcing at lower rates after that.

South Bay, Los Angeles, cons:

Housing - expensive

Traffic - slow (405)

Walkability - moderate (10 minute walk to any restaurants, 20 to good->great options)

Otherwise, life is great here, especially for families. We're the forgotten beach cities of LA (low on tourism, high on suburbs) so if you love the beach but still want to go to LA a fair amount, it's great.
What do you mean by "standard of living" though? I know plenty of Europeans who have access to things even rich Americans barely have access to. Once you want to, or have, kids many benefits that are hard to come by becomes less gimmicky. The main problem in Europe, and in most countries, these days is the housing market. Your position in the housing market has really come to determine your position in society.
First, I'm no fan of Trump and I think GOP is full of shit. Also IANAL.

But I don't think First Amendment protects Google, in principle. A corporation is not an individual, it's an artificial construction allowed by the society because its existence is useful to the society. It does not have human rights. And, frankly, I don't think Google's search results even qualify as "speech". (Again, IANAL.) You won't find a single Google employee (or executive) who will say "Yes, what you see on Google's search result represents my opinion."

Besides, it's the fucking job of the government to "complain" about what corporations do. The government complains when a company overworks workers, pollutes a stream, or exercise their right to free speech by saying "This product is safe for baby!" when the government decides it is not.

We can talk about whether this particular case is justified: reducing it into a 1st amendment issue is not very productive, IMHO.

The reason that Unions work for Hollywood is that the final product is dependent on a small number of specific people (mainly actors, but also writers and directors). If those people refuse to work, there is no product. Because actors are unified and honor the other less powerful unions they imbue them with power. Teamsters can strike and gain concessions from studios because actors won't cross the picket line.

Knowledge workers are largely cogs. No game project can be held hostage by one or a several critical employees. A majority of game jobs have already left California, with drop in replacements in Shanghai or Montreal or Austin.
Very much so when I was arguably doing devops for BT using PR1ME super minis' back in the day. A mate who was in operations for an IBM shop was horrified that our team were allowed to write our own JCL.
Creative unions, like those in Hollywood, don't have seniority rules, and they do an excellent job of protecting their members' interests. They also don't have any of the other problems you describe.
