Not generally. The good stuff will stick around. The stuff that isn’t as good wont.

Most cities are about change, and while nostalgia is great, cities that look the same as they did 20 years previously usually are not successful cities.

The reason is simple. Cities tend to attract younger folks. As the generation of people they attract changes, the tastes they need to cater to also changes.
You don't want to work there because they think everyone wants to work there? That seems silly. It's pretty common for all recruiters in the universe to not have the new employees best interests at heart - they mostly want to find people who can get hired.
Isn't there a slight worry that since it's not refined it might contain other harmful stuff? I admit I only read this once in passing and didn't investigate further.

Also, does the Himalayan salt contain iodine? Because otherwise you may soon get a iodine deficiency. The reason iodine is added in table salt in the first place is because most people would be deficient otherwise.
There should be no shame in admitting you made a mistake - I've made several hundred thousand dollars in mistakes - sometimes they turned out to be the same mistake twice - but I owned up to them, and worked harder to make it right.

I've been bit often by:

Poorly Defined Requirements

Incomplete Understanding of the Problem

Incomplete Understanding of the Solution

Customer created process issues

Poor documentation or data inputs

Excessive Complexity Customization driven by customer needs

I'm getting better with time, and I'm better at determining what the actual requirements are, and I now more fully understand what my solution is capable of too.
taking out the streetlights
That's far from the only reason. Lives were very different 100 years ago, women stayed at home, kids were raised without any high expectation, just running around, doing errands and luckier going to school. How would modern urban family manage to raise 10 kids?

Young people usually jump quickly into parenthood, then are overwhelmed by the continuous drain that you can't escape from. Women are exhausted long after giving birth. How do you want to drive around with >3 kids? Organize their activities? And actually have a full-time job that pays it all?

Even if property/rental prices would be good for many-bedroom places (they usually aren't), the rest is quite an effective blocker for most.
Disclaimer: I am not an historian nor a sociologist nor a political scientist. It is pure intuition, so please correct me if you find me wrong.

This kind of article recalling the war declared between Apple and Google by strong characters (reaching almost royal admiration) like Steve Jobs and showing their alliance now forced by economical benefits, brings to my head an observation I make for some years now.

It feels like the world is more and more returning to a, though different, late Middle Age state where kingdoms, merchants/bankers and religion were in control. It feels like we are close to the end of the powerful democratic state.

Yes, these forces has always existed and played a major role in political affairs, but during thr XXth century, we managed to keep it marginal, at least in the West.

Now there is an inversion, Kingdoms are coming back.

There is a lot of example: formation of alliances over sole benefits of oligarchs, growth of organisations never seen from a long time, customer attachment to a company like it was a dogma, tax and regulation ducking by companies, companies wars often more important than wars between states, states bending to organisations wishes, etc.

Maybe to return to this state is a human reflex. Like were unable to create a stable democratic state.

I don't know what to think about it atm, but I'm pretty sure we are on the edge of a great schism with the modern era.

They may be the "best" (for now) but that don't contradict the fact that I want to be able to have the choice of my default search engine when I start a new device.

Many people may not event know they can change that setting if it is not proposed the first time.
In my experience, for anything technical (code problems, datasheets, component info or news) Google gets me the info I want much faster than DDG. I still have DDG as my default, but very often search again by Google.
Not sure, but it seems to me that for a mirror, more than albedo matter, because mirrors have a specular reflection rather than a diffuse reflection.

Now, reflection won't be perfectly coliminated, but if you assume it is, then the mirror essentially becomes a piece of sun. Since the sun is about 400 000 times as bright as the moon, you'd need to scale the diameter of the sun by sqrt(400 000 / 8) =~ 223. Applying that scaling to your 5.4Km yields about 24m of diameter, which seems waaaay to small to me, so I am probably wrong.

That feels really
Yeah, we're not particularly good at those out of the box.

1) Horizontal scaling: In some cases it's doable using streaming replication, but it depends if you need to scale reads or writes. Or if you need distributed queries. There are quite a few forks and/or projects built on PostgreSQL that address different use cases (CitusDB, Greenplum, Postgres-XL, BDR, ...). And the features slowly trickle back.

One reason why it's like this is extensibility/flexibility - the project is unlike to hard-code one particular approach to horizontal scaling, because that would not work for the other use cases. So we need something that does not have that effect, which takes longer. It's a bit annoying, of course.

2) Storage systems: We don't really have a way to do that now - there are extensions using FDW to do that, but I'd say that's really a misuse of the FDW interface, and it has plenty of annoying limitations (backups, MVCC, ...). But it's something we're currently working on so there's hope for PG12+: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/20/1283/

I run OpenBSD as my border firewall which it handles very well.

One thing I wish that OpenBSD devs would change in their philosophy is the --help messages. Many commands simply offer a list of switches, as if that's somehow helpful. Sometimes you need the detail in a man page, but a lot of times you don't and it would save so much time and energy to have a succinct list in the --help message itself.

Does it really work that way? Does Apple let Google use tracking cookies, browser fingerprinting, account information and/or some unique user identifiers for these searches? Are these requests even made from the phone directly or are they piped through Apple's servers? (I'm not talking about Safari but things like Siri and Spotlight.)

Benchmarks for Facebook Ads in 2018
I lived in NYC from 2009 to 2017 and can affirm the author's feeling. Over the span of those years, and mostly as of late, I saw many of my favorite brick and mortars (Rare books, sporting goods shops, record stores, etc.) all be replaced by coffee shops or juice places.

Granted each of the above mentioned places have challenges with their respective industry but the feeling still stands.

Having been born in North Texas, I can also affirm the changing topography of America due to traditional brick and mortars being ousted. My hometown was once called the "Little Austin". It's now overrun with mini-mall strips that hold duplicates of things set up on the other side of town. (How many mattress stores and Sonics does a town of 100,000 need?)

The recent bankruptcy of Sears is another example where we will likely see large buildings across the country left empty and whose re-purposing will be contingent on state/city zoning laws (Texas doesn't have any) and rent. That is, why should I pay to reuse Sears's old building when the state/city will let me build a brand new building right down the highway?
It's time we took a serious look at getting rid of the unholy trinity of employment contract law:

- Non-competes
- Forced arbitration
- Non-disparagement / NDAs

If an offer includes a non-compete, it should also include appropriate restitution to the employee for the opportunity cost involved. This means paid garden leave and also extra compensation to help employees find their next job since their skills are likely to have degraded during the fallow period.

Forced arbitration is used to rob employees of their constitutional rights and I can't believe that the practice is legal.

Lastly, non-disparagement clauses and NDAs are overly broad. I'm not opposed to NDAs with limited scope but NDAs have become blanket weapons used to cover up evidence of illegal or immoral acts by employers. This is particularly problematic when combined with forced arbitration since it means that employees subject to wage theft (for instance) are unable to join a class action suit and verdicts rendered by the arbitration court can be kept secret.
And, this feels like an issue that will naturally fix itself over time, as landlords realize what they're asking for isn't reasonable.
Oh, they're asking "should we" -- they're just not asking the public (the public is the product being sold, after all).

> I assume that someone working on the project would do: pip install -e . in a virtual environment. I thought this was quite well-established. Is there a problem with it that I'm not aware of?

So ignoring your requirements.txt, and potentially working with different versions of dependencies from the ones you were working with and encountering different bugs?

(Also managing your virtual environments "by hand" is tedious and error-prone when you're working on multiple projects).

> pip freeze > requirements.txt for requirements.txt generation.

The problem with this is that it's not reproducible - if two people try to run it they might get different results, and it's not at all obvious who should "win" when the time comes to merge. If you mess up the merge and re-run then maybe you get a different result again, and have to do all your testing etc. over again.

> For libraries just omit this?

Maybe, but then you'll face a lot of bug reports from people who end up running your library against different versions of upstream libraries from the ones that you tested against.
Except it’s a more accurate comparison in this case since setting a default search engine is essentially pure profit, where as a hardware company Apple only makes a fraction of profit from their total revenue so it would be more accurate to compare Apple’s Googles revenue against their (pre tax) net income.

You are of course correct that in general the US for the last 2-3 decades has been at best schizophrenic about multilateral institutions it was originally instrumental in setting up, and at worst actively hostile.

But in this case, my understanding is that the US did attempt to renegotiate the postal treaty recently, rather than abandon it, without much success.

The exit isn’t finalized, so this could be seen as an (admittedly very formal) gambit in the larger overall negotiation process.

> If you do not believe that people should profit from increasing the lethality of the military, then you do not believe in the utility of having a military.

Alternative: You can believe that circumstances dictate if the military is doing good or bad things. If the military is doing bad things, it is a reasonable argument to oppose them. Clearest example is Yemen.

A less clear and debateable example is: the excessive size of the US military may cause other countries like Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran to build up their own militaries to defend themselves when they would otherwise reduce their military spending. In some cases, mutual disarmament can work, however, it hasn't been tried sufficiently hard (e.g. USA hasn't ever proposed reducing its number of aircraft carriers by treaty, so carriers require asymmetrical warfare capability in order to deter aggression from USA).
> you can royally screw up your repository with the wrong command

You already mentioned the reflog, which makes Git screw ups a non-issue. But the only time I seriously messed up something was when I used Git commands without full understanding what they actually did (two weeks into learning Git). This was mitigated by RTFM, which clearly explained what I did wrong. Since then I never listen to advises like 'just use this git command', but read the manual first.

I noticed that most people who have problems with Git don't understand basic Git concepts like branch, remote, staging, commit, ref. These concepts are really not that hard. Once you get familiar with them everything else with Git is a breeze. But I'm surprised how stubborn people are at not willing to spend a little time to learn. They just want you to tell them Git commands. But Git commands are not important. I personally don't remember exact command parameters, because I can always look them up in the man page. Git concepts is what makes you proficient with Git.
Also, what are you going to do if you're forced into an arbitration court? Your chances of winning in that environment are zero, even with competent legal representation.

Even before iodized salt, goiters were location dependent. The modern diet likely contains enough iodine from other sources - seafood, dairy, eggs, processed foods - that non-iodized table salt isn't likely to matter much.

Noncompetes implemented smartly are good and not a power grab over employees. I signed noncompete, but employer is required by law to pay at least 25% of my salary if he wants to enforce it. That is minimum amount, I have negotiated 50%. If he doesn't want to pay this, he can't dictate where I can work, I could go to direct competitor then.

I had to look up that term [1], thanks for introducing me to it.

I'm still not sure how Switzerland the geographic place intrinsically leads to more efficient watch-making, as Shenzen and other Chinese factory cities make copious use of établissage in many different industries. Also, Apple's offshored Chinese manufacturing demonstrates that extremely high quality hardware manufacturing is not ethno-culturally-bound, and can be successfully transmitted through a corporate culture.

Ricardo's comparative economic advantage in Net age-birthed industries seems increasingly more hand-wavium the further away I get from intrinsically geographically-tied economic inputs like mineral resources, fresh water, salt water fish migration paths, or latitude-dependent agriculture, etc., and the further one transits away from historical network effects like Swiss watch-making, Silicon Valley software-writing, or Belgian diamond-polishing, etc.

The mathematical and empirical analyses of comparative advantage [2] [3], as well as great explanations about it [4], don't seem to address extremely complex goods with very high cognitive input factors, like semiconductors, industrial machinery, bio-pharma products, avionics, spacecraft, high-end electronics manufacturing, fracking, cloud services, search engines, e-commerce, etc., and I suspect comparative advantage breaks down as we evolve those and similar economic areas because ceteris paribus, there is no natural, lasting advantage one nation comparatively holds over another on human cognitive power (which I celebrate). In all those areas, there are leaders, but not so much and to such a comparative degree that they decisively elbow out other nations from economically attempting to enter those industries now or in the future.

The Sudan might be a cognitive desert right now compared to Palo Alto or Shenzen, but there is nothing structurally preventing them from turning into a powerhouse in the future (on a multi-generational timescale) to contend with, as say there is with them turning into the next corn-production hub like Iowa, or oil-producer like Saudi Arabia or the fracking Permian Basin.

The problem arises when your system treats it as something else. For example, how your system treats carbon monoxide like oxygen. Remember, we used to think things like lead-based sugars were fine to eat.

And, fwiw, your body would process a small amount of iron, since it's a mineral required for good health.
> The Moon's angular diameter is about 0.5 degrees. To match that angular diameter at 36,000 Km, we need a 5.4 Km wide object.

The article doesn’t say it’s going to be as big as the moon - it only says it’ll be 8x brighter. You’re also forgetting about the relative shapes of the objects: the moon, being round, reflects what light it does in all directions, while a designed mirror can be made to reflect it all in one specific direction.

All that said, I don’t think this will work, but not be of your math.

One clue to the existence of old airbases (at least in the UK) is in the names of the new streets that have been built over or near them. For example this map of Christchurch [0] is centred on 'The Runway', and street names reference the following WW2-era aircraft: Brabazon, Halifax, De Havilland, Viscount and Blenheim.

Similarly, this map [1] of St Ives has streets that include Comet, Wellington, Blenheim, Canberra, Lancaster and others

MPs is microplastics, so in this case n is the number. So 13,629 individual microplastics per kilogram of salt, etc.
Judging from the few minutes I watched, it is at least not very precise, yes.

What they mean when saying that "time and space switch roles inside a black hole" is that in standard
Schwarzschild coordinates, the direction given by the time coordinate becomes spacelike at the event horizon and, likewise, the radial coordinate becomes timelike. This statement is specific to Schwarzschild coordinates, though, or, more generally, any coordinate system that is singular/ill-defined at the event horizon. There are coordinate systems, however, that don't exhibit this pathological behavior at the horizon and, there, no switching occurs.
