That’s pretty harsh, it really depends on the platform/project. If you’re doing a lot of development on windows for example you’re probably not doing a ton on the command line (not everyone is on a Mac doing web or mobile). I know doing Unity3d game development in windows 10 the only time I really use the command line is when I need to do something in git that sourcetree can’t do. And I know the command line plenty well! There’s just no huge reason for this current project.

Plus some languages sort of have their own customs. Like if you were doing Smalltalk a lot of things you’d use a command line for in web development or mobile dev you’d use a workspace in the IDE instead. And then you have Lisp, where people used to joke that Emacs had become its own OS essentially.
You can sign up new accounts, even on the same credit card. Additionally I believe that if you contact support and agree for them to wipe all the resources in your account - you can have another year of free tier again.

And of course, you're deploying all your stuff automatically anyway right? So wiping the account doesn't really matter.

I can see why it's hard - they probably use a third party payment processor which does subscriptions, and those processors don't tend to allow you to change the amount or timing of a subscription once authorized.

To do this switch, they would need to bill the extra amount each month until the end of the existing subscription, and then start a new subscription for the full amount later.

Starting that subscription later would probably require the customer to come back to the site many months later to authorize the new amount.
The answer to that for a capability-based system would be to not grant a process access to /Users, but instead give it an opaque handle that grants access to /Users/delinka. It's definitely not how unix systems work (where you need read access to all of the parents to access a child directory), but in a capability-based system it makes sense IMO.

Construction and Corruption: The less you work, the more you get paid
What exactly would these people do in a place like detroits dilapitated housing wasteland for prosperity, work and money?

You'd need to create a subsidized economy for some decade or such to build it up.

Here is an idea - if a company like Amazon wants to move into NYC, as an example, rather than paying them ~3B to do so, why not require large companies to pay to subsidize a revival city in detroit.

Where those resources will be made to build out the core infrastructure needed to support a city there.

Rather than spending $700 billion dollars a year on defense spending, spend $70 billion to rebuild/build-out a new detroit? Want a city based solely on self-driving cars, wifi only, with small-sized apartment/tiny-home housing and many micro-lot farms?

A bold attempt at building out something would be nice to try again in this country. We need it.
twice, same company, two very different projects.

the first one was a mumps project, with cache. it was written by a competent developer, but he was using it as a way to learn mumps to forward his career in the health care industry. the issues were more specific to mumps itself, while trying to maintain and add features (there are thousands of articles online about issues in mumps, if you want to fully understand the struggle). it was eventually rewritten, with tests, and supported by a small team.

the second was for the same company, but a very different developer. this developer despised version control, and considered foxpro the "one true language", even after Microsoft itself had abandoned it. the codebase was riddled with bugs, fixed in various versions deployed for various customers, so there were a ton of misc bugs and "features" strewn throughout 20-30 "codebases", but no comments, short variable names, and poor practices. from what I could tell, the developer had been drunk for most of the development and any changes, and thus the original was used as a template for features and discarded as quickly as a simple web app could be written and tested.

otherwise, the codebases that I have have inherited have been at least understandable, but sometimes best practices weren't used, or too "clever" of solutions were chosen instead of making larger needed codebase changes which meant much more difficult code to maintain, but nothing has come close to those two.

Fitchburg is an entire city (albeit a small one). Like Houston it has bad and good areas (I don't think there's any gated communities though). The nice areas are quite nice.

I transferred to the position not knowing anything about the product or the lack of developer knowledge. The support person gave me a walk-through of the functionality as did the QA person. I spent about four months figuring out the build system and the code. For the code, it was just a matter of reading, reading, reading until I came to understand it. Making matters worse was that a massive refactor of the had been started but not completed. It was very stressful.

I wouldn't. Medium solves a non-problem. It only exists because VC funds have this tendency of pouring money over anything that resembles business.

This is pretty much my current job; leading a team of engineers on projects involving legacy codebases where the original authors are long gone. The first thing I always do is treat working software with respect. It's easy to be a HN-commenter-pedant and assume it's all garbage, but context is everything; 9 times out of 10 the code is responsible for a good chunk of our salaries. The second thing I try to do is lower expectations of clients. Often times, non-technical people will be overjoyed to hear that somebody is working on this black box they've been fighting for years, and it's up to you to keep their expectations in check. The third is to fix broken tests, write new ones, and learn to use grep :)

Convincing your manager that upstreaming is in their best interest
I would think the morning before-work rush would be the best time to capture money as a coffee shop, same with the after work time. They are basically only open while working people are away from the neighbourhood and have their doors shut when the biggest rushes of people would be there.

And it's not just them, I see a lot of local businesses in this area struggling, but the problem is they aren't open to take my money at reasonable times. There's another café even closer to me that is trying to make it, but they are closed 2 days a week and it's not the weekend, I'm not sure which days they are, so it's hard to check it out. It's just baffling to me - you pay rent 24/7, you have bills every month, and staff … but if you want to take money (generate income) you have to be open. If you want to make the most money, shouldn't you try to have your doors open the most amount of time you can?
Morning exercise is fantastic. I definitely find myself more alert and productive on days when I wake up earlier to go for a run or gym.

How does your infrastructure look like? Do you deploy it in a single datacenter or even in the same rack on a couple of servers?
I disagree so strongly. At some point in my life, I had distorted my thought process heavily by fast chess. I in particular played it like Tal would. The element of surprise plays a major factor.

I was never as good as you in chess. My best game ever with normal time constraints was a tie against a 2400, and my regular games are around 2000. But it was only a hobby.

What is troubling about chess in general is that it cannot be truly learnt. As computers have shown. With that in mind, let's also assume that intution plays a role. The classical offers the second best way of determining who has got it right. Fast chess kills your intuition as it offers incentives to play the more wrong game that your opponent might blunder to. When I play normal chess, I play in a way that is safe up to somewhere between 5 to 7 moves depth, at my best days. Magnus has more depth obviously. So if his opponents play for the win, they will lose. And under time control, he has a better full view of the board, so plays faster and that's all as much I can tell. But if his opponent has an different, perhaps intuitive, style, which I have no understanding of, he will lose. The key point being, that the move that is the best up to depth 7, can be the move that you could see how it loses you the game if you had more depth.

To my main concern about your comment, playing fast, particular bullet and blitz, indeed damages your right intuition if there is any. And if the person is anything like me, it might bleed into other aspects of their life, with consequences.

My advice to anyone who plays fast games and has a sharp and computing mind, is to spend time at a creative activity, such as writing, some sciences, and put chess aside for a year. Develop your creative skills, and then you'll notice the negative impact of bullet and blitz (With all due respect to your skills, the terms bullet and blitz makes me feel a turmoil now), which I consider to be quite serious.

> At what point are open source projects going to change their licensing to prevent the major cloud providers from just stealing their products?

There's a lot to unravel in there.

I prefer 'free software' to 'open source' as it has a clearer meaning, especially in this context. Even so, no one can steal free / open source software (or as you say, product -- though that turn strongly implies a commercial offering).

By definition you can't really stop anyone from using your free software, unless perhaps you start naming companies explicitly, but I can't imagine it'd be an easy process, or have a happy outcome, if you started targeting 'major cloud providers' for special conditions.

Note that I am not an apologist for AWS, Google, Microsoft, etc - but it feels like the fundamental problem here is not massive corporations charging other people to access free software.

> “[That previous study] finds no average difference in intelligence, but males were more variable than females,” Ritchie says. “This is why our finding that male participants’ brains were, in most measures, more variable than female participants’ brains is so interesting. It fits with a lot of other evidence that seems to point toward males being more variable physically and mentally.”

So if you’re looking for outliers (such as a chess prodigee), you are more likely to find them in the male population than in the female population.

Your explanation is not simpler by any stretch, it just spares you some cognitive dissonance.
i think it could be much worse. the fact that there is a competitor means the former monopolist cannot raise prices of their 'lets avoid a scandal' $300 version back up to 600, which is closer to the profit maximising price for the product in a monopoly market.
You're not kidding. I recently booked a Disney trip for the family and ran into issues at every single stage. First, there was a problem with the airfare not displaying the proper pricing. Then I was told that I had to remove the airfare and book that separately as that was the only way I could continue online booking. When I went to pay, there was a problem with their payment system that took 24 hours to resolve (it was on their side, to be clear, not a bank issue on my side). Then I had to get someone to fix the itinerary within my account because it was all messed up. After that, there was some issue with my account and I got mysteriously locked out for no apparent reason (no, I did not enter the wrong password). And then just today, at 7 AM I became eligible to register for FastPass events now that I was inside the 60 day window for the trip. Logged on right at 7 AM and sure enough, FastPass registrations were the only thing not working on the site. Spoke to chat support and they confirmed it was site-wide and the same thing happened the previous day. They fixed it within an hour and I was finally able to register for the events, but literally every step along the way there was an issue. I expect way more from a $170B company, especially one which families give thousands of dollars to at a time. The fact that I literally couldn't give them money for a full 24 hours and had to spend about 4 hours on the phone over two days to figure out and resolve with them is absolutely mind-blowing.

They're not opposed. Nationalism just has the tendency of galvanizing a population's support, which can easily bolster an autocracy that represents the "national identity".

> Carlsen is widely recognized to have been in a great, likely winning position in game 12, and arguably got himself into several other, if not cleanly decisive positions, very strong ones in several other games, where Caruana never quite seemed to.

Long time ago in a galaxy far away I played at a very high level.

Sometimes when I'm bored or lonely or cranky I play hustlers in the Union Sq in NYC. There's probably one guy (old cranky Russian) that can actually give me a run for my money and he is still going to be a several hundred points below me. Regardless, sometimes I wander into situations that I dont quite like -- no decisive advantage where I have to play carefully. Instead I quickly take it to a draw because the odds of me getting into a bad position multiple times in a row are smaller than the odds of me not tripping in a position that I do not like and since no money changes hands on a draw, drawing is nothing other than kicking a ball down the road.

For Carlsen kicking a ball into a tie breaker comes with a multiple hundred point advantage. It is the advantage that he does not have with classic time controls.
