America has fabs, both old and leading edge, but ask industry giants like Gemalto to even bother to manufacture chips anywhere outside of Taiwan, assemble the final product outside of China.

They will never do that, because they look for the cheapest solution.

The bigger the company, the less it cares about things other than cost. This is why Mediatek and Broadcom can usurp the market of network SoCs, while making products with atrociously bad support. I personally dealt with both, and say that they wholely match their popular culture image.

I don't know how it is with USA, but for Russia, the military doesn't care that their chips had frequency measured in kilohertz, and had sizes measured in square sentimetres, for as long as they get them made inside the country.

Nosocomial
Literature Review
According to Kampf, Loffler and Gastmeier (2009), the hygienic hand disinfection consists of a better antimicrobial efficacy as compared to hand-washing, and it should be performed before and after the manual contact with patients. The hands need to be washed rather than being disinfected in the case where they are visibly soiled. The authors stress on the hand hygiene of the medical practitioners, and they say that the healthcare practitioner’s hands are principle route for transmitting nosocomial pathogens. They say that their hands are permanently colonized by the physiological for and temporarily depending on the nature of the worker’s duties. The latter can take place it various rough pathogens that are not part of the physiological flora. The promotion of appropriate measures to improve hand hygiene is one of the five crucial goals of the WHO’s Patient Safety Initiative.
The authors carried out a research and by examining the existing scientific literature in light of the WHO recommendation for hand hygiene for publications that came before the year 2006. For the research works that came after the year 2006, ten researchers performed a selective review in the National Library of Medicine.

This seems like a good approach. However, it's unrealistic that my team is going to move off GitHub. Is there any way I can do something like this locally, but then have it fit into a GitHub PR flow?
I always tested in the 99th percentile, went to gifted and talented classes, was a merit scholarship semi finalist, etc. I think by any measure I had a high IQ. I also barely graduated high school, flunked out of junior college and spent most of my 20s going to raves instead of accomplishing anything worth while.

Meanwhile my sister, who had an utterly average iq by any measure has a masters degree and is a hospital executive.

The answer is she just worked harder than me. I gave up as soon as anything was difficult for me because I was so used to learning everything easily. She assumed that learning was supposed to be hard and put the work into it.

Can someone do a test for willpower/hardwork?

I think that would be a useful indicator. I was a B student, but I've accomplished more than A students now that I'm approaching my 30s.
Right. Which is why it's jarring seeing these blocks of non-idiomatic almost-SQL DSL embedded in otherwise consistent C#. Particularly when you have to materialize a query by calling ToList() or similar - you end up with an extra unsightly mix of query and method syntax with the query wrapped in parentheses. Or else cluttered up with defining intermediate variables that need to be named.

Much better in my opinion to just stick with the fluent method chaining style of using LINQ methods.

And as soon as they know you are using X-Ray to test ( I would be surprised if there were no insider information leaking on the OP's end ), they would develop a way so that somehow the X-Ray images looks identical. May be a heat spreader like metal as cover up.
Absolutely. I currently support a team of developers that flat out aren't interested.

The "alternative" is they log tickets with helpdesk going "can you please restore this file from backup from a few weeks ago". It's awful.

It's a startup you may have heard of.
Yes, the Phabricator and Gerrit workflows are very similar.

It's basically the same workflow the Linux kernel uses, with Phabricator or Gerrit taking the place of git format-patch and git apply-patch.
The Phabricator project itself uses two branches - a fast-moving master and a stable branch. Changes are commited to master and then promoted to stable.

Cherry-picking patches is a lot easier when the development team submits to a "one commit per idea" and "review single commits" workflow.
I understand dependency injection to mean 'pass dependencies as arguments', which seems pretty simple and reasonable.

e.g. instead of

void foo() {
SingletonLogger::logError("no cheese");
}

you'd write

void foo(ILogger logger) {
logger.logError("no cheese");
}

Now it's much easier to unit test `foo` with a mock logger object.

Is there more to it than that? Why are there big, complicated frameworks for it?
Frankly the article is filled with FUD and the author justifies everything with "i think/what if/my way is fine for me".

You don't need to run a new cluster for every project. You can deploy multiple projects in a single cluster. I was running close to 5 different projects in a single cluster, backed by about 3-6 machines (machines added/removed on demand).

Kubernetes is basically like your own heroku. You can create namespaces for your projects. No scripts. You can deduce everything (how is a service deployed, whats the config, whats the arch) from the config files (yml)

> Is a single Nginx virtual host more complex or expensive than deploying a Nginx daemon set and virtual host in Kubernetes? I don't think so.

Yes it is. I wonder if the author has actually tried setting this themselves. I do realise i had similar opinions before I had worked with kubernetes, but after working with it, I cannot recommend it enough.

> When you do a change in your Kubernetes cluster in 6 months, will you remember all the information you have today?

Yes, why does the author think otherwise ? Or if this is a real argument why does the author think their "ansible" setup would be at the top of the head. I had one instance where I had to bring a project back up on prod (it was a collection of 4 services + 2 databases not including the LB) after 6-8 months of keeping it "down". Guess what, I just scaled the instances from 0 to 3, ssl is back, all services are back, everything is up and running.

This is not to say you wont have issues, I had plenty during the time i started trying it out. There is a learning curve and please do try out the ecosystem multiple times before thinking of using it in production.
Afaik potatoes still need manual sorting in the end.

There's also the fact that mechanization is expensive, while the eastern European labor used to be extremely cheap and Germany doesn't have growing season all year around.

So, many German farmers temporarily hire cheap labor, instead of investing in expensive machinery that just costs money outside of the growing season.

"Good luck making your own fuel (N.B. in a lot of places it is illegal or in dubious grey-areas,"

Biodiesel has lower emissions of both NOx and CO2. By the time we're in such an apocalyptic scenario where internal combustion engines are a thing of the post, nobody will be giving a damn about some guy driving such an anachronism. And show me where it's illegal to produce one's own fuel.

"Why not just use that electricity from the solar panels to charge an EV's batteries?"

(Car guy here! I just came back from Hockenheim with my racing license not too long ago!)

Because with my diesel, I have a range of at least 1000 km, ~1300 km if I hypermile. Batteries lose capacity. Electric cars have no clutch pedal nor a manual transmission (they don't need it), so for a car guy like me, that sucks serious ass. Acceleration isn't everything: electric vehicles sap all the enjoyment out of driving. If there were electric cars with a clutch pedal and a manual transmission, I'd be willing to trade the range and make a compromise, but there aren't so there is no incentive for me to do so.
You really need to read the information provided about GW150914. There is no direct observation of the event, irrespective of what LIGO might say about the matter, LIGO is an indirect methodology.

I have no doubt that something was observed, but what that was will take far more research and repeated events that can be backed up by other observational means before we have any real evidence before us.

The science is only settled for those who want certainty in their models and theories. For practical uses, one can believe that electrons exist and act in particular ways and we build "technology" based on those "beliefs". Yet, we still do not have any real handle on what these particular entities are.

I used to believe in "black holes" and other assorted entities. I had no problems with these things, until I started noticing the discrepancies. It made me take a longer look and I realised that we know far less than we think and we understand far less than we think we do.

I live country that experiences climate change, yet, what I find interesting is that if you have questions about whether or not it is anthropogenic, you are immediately classified as a denier. The same goes for many different areas in science. If you don't accept the dogma you have to be a "crank".

What science needs is a higher level of scepticism than what it currently has.

Too many of the "settled" things are not "settled" at all. We have barely scratched the surface of the universe around us and the major failing we have is this desire to be certain. There are huge amounts of experimental observations that are showing that we really have no clue and an enormous number of new models are being developed as the years go by.

You can do stacked diffs on GitHub by always using squash merges and rebasing on top of master, and it's a great way to get started.

It's just a lot nicer with the extra tooling on top that Phabricator and Gerrit provide (dependencies, command line tools, and so on).
Perhaps the idea that police should protect themselves flipped the default priority for some/many/most(?) police in the US to protect themselves first, do their job second. This set of priorities then mutates into the perverse behavior we see now where their own safety stand far away and above the responsibility of doing their job.
Perhaps, but if you consider that shortly after most of the automakers would go bankrupt, Musk would then have been in a very powerful position and would easily have been able to find private capital to help him extract the most useful 20% of value from some of the bankrupt companies for use by Tesla.

Private investors did not want to invest in outdated infrastructure and overburdened pension programs, which is why the government bailout was "needed" in the first place.

But if bankruptcy had been allowed to proceed, the best bits would have gone to the highest bidder, and Musk was well positioned to become the highest bidder.
Things like these can jump across language and culture boundaries easily, too.

In Russian, there's a fairly obvious pattern to numerals like 20, 30, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90. It's not super consistent, but you can easily pick each of those apart and see that it references the corresponding digit, plus some variation of "ten".

Note that I didn't list 40. That's because it's special - it has its own word for it, that is completely unrelated to the word for 4 or any other number. Its etymology is contested, but it's certain that it was already special many centuries back, and used to count things (in groups of 40). And then you have archaic idioms like "forty forties", which basically means "hell of a lot".

Of course, it can well just be convergent evolution - there's only so many round numbers. And then if you pick one as the standard size of the group for counting, and it's large enough, then a square of that number is also a fairly natural choice for "many". But identical choices in other cultures might give the initial push, or reinforce one of the early roughly equal candidates.
> We already do that with our voices....

But that requires one side speaking. If they refuse to speak, then we can't know their thoughts. And people can also tell lies with their voices. Now if we could somehow interface directly with the brain...

Voice is like an API the person provides to others. Like twitter's API for users access data. But twitter can shut down the API or manipulate their API to show us what they want us to see. But imagine if you had direct link to their database?

Have you considered that hydroponic vegetables will tend to have a much greater variance in quality than those produced in dirt due to the fact that so much control can be exerted by the grower?

Given the history of agriculture and the tendency to select for large watery produce, it seems like what you've experienced is the result of a profit optimization rather than an anecdotal example of hydroponics limitation in regards to producing quality vegetables.

They attacked the Base Management Controller. There's an article by Bruce Schneier from 2013 warning about exactly this attack. Quoting:

"Basically, it's a perfect spying platform. You can't control it. You can't patch it. It can completely control your computer's hardware and software. And its purpose is remote monitoring. At the very least, we need to be able to look into these devices and see what's running on them."

I know this is going off the main topic. But it is very strange that I discover Black background, as in Dark mode in macOS, doesn't work at all despite what I have always thought it would be cool. But Black background on mobile devices work absolutely great!.

And I have no idea why, I searched on Google and couldn't find any decent answer. All results were either OLED being battery friendly with switched off pixels or other mobile UX for Dark mode. None of them describe the difference felt in Desktop and Mobile. Any link or explanation would be much appreciated.
Absolutely. It's not that complicated.

Usain Bolt obviously has incredible sprinting talent. But if he sat around at home playing video games and eating potato chips all day, nobody would expect him to be an amazing sprinter. Everyone knows this.

Yet for some reason there's this weird idea that intelligence without effort can yield results, where the same obviously doesn't apply to any other kind of natural talent. It's strange.

> imagine a light that can manage to penetrate a bathroom wall, and tell me you don’t think it’s maybe a bit too powerful for consumer use ;)

Visible light has a wavelength of a few hundred nanometers; wifi is around 10 centimeters. Material penetrability varies enormously between different wavelengths (and between materials). Harm to humans also various enormously, and in a way very different from penetrability (for example, some wavelengths of UVC are very harmful to human skin but can be almost completely blocked by a thin sheet of clear glass). Equating penetrability with either 'power' or harmfulness is not a useful intuition.

(incidentally, an incandescent light bulb emits on a blackbody spectrum, so some very small proportion of the energy it uses will be emitted at e.g. radio wave frequencies, which will certainly penetrate the bathroom wall)
