On top of that, they were barely given a slap on the wrist in Germany whereas they had to pay out billions in the US. Even though they probably sold a lot more diesels in Germany than in the US, and Germans are feeling the pinch a lot more due to many cities banning diesels from inner city roads.

LOL, well that's perfect, thank you.
Unless you work on the project, report to the owner who has better knowledge of the code and ask them to fix. Otherwise you are not helping them but end up using their time teaching you how the code really works. Not good for the total productivity of the whole team.
Looks like it's spinning on checking the framebuffer status, which is probably not something that needs to be done as frequently as it is. Putting that in a better spot would likely make it much more interactive.
If you're concerned about this you should financially support some seed banks. They effectively keep backups.
> Mimblewimble should support non-interactive kernel merging unless intentionally disabled.

It's not intentionally disabled. We'd love for Dandelion nodes and miners to be able to merge kernels. But unfortunately that's not possible with the Schnorr signatures and secp256k1 curve we're using.

Why Rahul Gandhi’s Parliament Gaffe Is an Ironic Self-Goal on India’s Jet Crisis
No. Absolutely wrong.

A sense of ownership and responsibility over a codebase is fundamental and essential to proper stewardship and maintenance of that code, and refactoring and rewriting is the most effective way to inculcate that feeling. Sometimes it’s not always feasible, and sometimes it’s not necessary, but the end state is essential. Group or shared ownership of code is a manager’s wet dream but pragmatically impossible, a swamp of mediocrity.

Software RAID for the masses was not an insignificant advance to society. I was always amazed at how easy and consistent it was.
Learn to delegate through stewardship. Set clear expectations for outcomes. Your job is to remove obstacles to allow others to do their job, and direct traffic so the right people are working on the right things. Don’t micromanage. 90% of the job is setting expectations so you can convey that to your team, and up the chain of where things are.

So... you’ll need to develop ways to gather daily progress reports and monitor work is progressing. When it is not progressing you have to remove the road blocks if possible while also communicating up any roadblocks that might be causing delays to keep your bosses expectations inline with the current state of the projects progress.

You will also need to start thinking about the process in which people work, and make adjustments to the current process as problems show up. I have a Wednesday meeting with my leads/senior team to sync up and address pain points, I call this meeting “What’s working Wednesday” with the main topic to specifically look at and adress what is not working. So that my team and I can adjust our way of working. This allows me to get in front of problems when there small, and have knowledge of frustration/pain points.
December 2018 Financial Report
> While I am against cheating, of course, I have to think that having all those cars junked just due to that scandal was a far bigger waste and far worse for the environment.

It was about sending a message. And probably also about the fact that VW is a foreign car manufacturer. Let's not forget the bailouts that the American car companies got just a few years ago.
I wasn't commenting on "the point", just wanted to correct the guess/misremembered information that they got 1/5th of the votes.

AfD actually did influence German politics and policy making a lot, and public debate even more so, in my humble opinion.

From what I have seen, AfD is also a lot more "broadly extremist" than UKIP, but I am very probably pretty biased, being from Germany and having consumed far more German news than British.
It may be an easier transition to switch to a Linux rather than a Windows laptop. Yes, Windows does have its Linux subsystem, but Linux … is a Linux system.

I have to use Windows a fair amount, and it's a very painful UI.
The disagreement is if "the elections are conscious" means anything at all.

If you extend the definition of conscious for humans (whatever it means) to an extended definition that includes electrons, and the extended definition of conscious electron is "they just follow the (current) laws of physics", then the extended definition is meaningless. Everything is conscious in it's own way, and this doesn't give a cue about what human consciousness is.

For a similar fuzzy defined term, let's pick "alive". Humans are alive (when they are not dead). Electrons are not alive. There is an arbitrary threshold in the middle, but the current guess is that there is no magical part in being alive. From electrons to humans, we all follow the laws of Physics.

You can redefine alive, so an electron is alive by following the (current) laws of Physics. But now being alive is a meaningless term, because everything is alive in its own way.
While Apple isn't as bad as the others, they're still morally bankrupt (e.g. supporting censorship, removing VPNs from the Chinese store, giving governments access to messages, email and other private stuff stored in the cloud). I sincerely hope (and believe) that DDG will never become evil like Apple.

> But his argument fits well with C++'s history of finding exceedingly complex solutions for simple problems. Want to have efficient matrix calculation? Well, who needs native support for matrices when you can do the same with expression templates and static polymorphism/CRTP (see: Eigen library).

I have to defend C++ here - "native matrices" is under-specified. In practice, "Matrix" is one of the leakiest abstractions in programming and you have to care about representation and choice of algorithm pretty much from the get-go, and IMO C++ is actually the best available option for managing that complexity, especially when you're solving large systems in parallel (and it's worth pointing out that one of the front-running open-source libs in this space is written in C++[1]).

We have funding, great architecture, and are looking for someone who can hit the ground running and join us for this crazy ride. Stock Options available in addition to compensation.

Dog-friendly office in the Mile End, we offer a flexible schedule, tons of autonomy and ownership, gym membership, and a ton of other great benefits.
I was the maintainer of a third-party library used by thousands of dependent applications at Google. I have to admit, I still have not seen on the outside a system that allows me to change the version of numpy, and know that thousands of dependent applications either work or break, within an hour of making my change.

Being able to write and use a mapreduce with a high level of confidence that my code would continue to work years later was another nice benefit. MRs I wrote in the first year at Google still compiled and ran with minimal changes almost 10 years later(!) which is amazing given the amount of environmental change that occurred.

That said, somebody could still halt development across the company by changing and checking in a core file (like proto defs for websearch) without testing.

Whatever social system led to google3/borg and the amazing productivity associated with it, it was a special moment that hasn't been replicated many times.
It's missing a lot of what people expect in git branching, like history within the branch and arbitrary digraphs for forking and merging.

If every branch was always merged back into head before doing anything else, and always had its commits flattened into one, and someone forking off of your branch was basically opening it up, copying the changes in your clipboard, and pasting it into a new branch with no attribution or history, then sure.
> Sure it sounds wonderful everyone can see/fix anyone else code but 99% people shouldn't have time to do so (if they do their work load is not full, increase the load).

That's a sweatshop mentality. Startup, big corp, whatever: your engineers should have flexibility to work on things that they recognize the importance of. That's not the same as free time or a lack of tasking; that's treating people like adults who might notice things you do not.

And if you're intentionally trying to manage your engineers in a way that keeps them from having time to notice bugs in others' work, you're doing yourself a fucking massive disservice: when people have collaborative ownership of something, they get invested in its quality/growth/feature-set, and productivity goes up. "Don't look at other people's code, just keep your head down and churn out the feature in time, ignore the larger picture!" is a recipe for low-output, uninvested, hard-to-reassign, burnt out engineers. Doesn't matter if it's a team of 2 or 2000.

That's a confusing thing to say... surely GMO doesn't necessarily remove unexpressed genes either?

To provide a counterargument, with GMO we additionally have a decent understanding of the underlying mechanics and which genes have changed. This puts us in a better position to correct things if they do turn out to have unintended consequences.

Isn’t German politics ridden with scandals at the personal level? I remember several cases of German top politicians faking their academic records.
I can't speak from first hand experience or actual knowledge, but I've seen several articles over the years about AA being the only US court approved treatment, leaving some people with the choice of accepting only AA or jail. Atheists in particular have commented on this, but also people that take issues with certain other AA stances (such as "you will forever be an alcoholic").

I have no idea if this was federal, state, or local courts.
> Not having to shoulder the cost of an aging population would work very well for SG.

One (surprising) way Singapore addresses the cost of caring for an aging population is Singapore's "Maintenance of Parents Act"[1] which basically permits parents to sue their adult children for alimony.

Ok, understood. I think the point I was trying to make (and apparently didn't write it down correct thus the downvotes) is that sometimes the ownership argument could just be an easier, less politically charged way to engage the audience. Who would argue against letting some new developer take ownership of something (if they have the skills, of course)? While discussing all those other questions I posed could open a can of worms.
Sounds like you both might be right? You’re both quoting more than commentating. It looks like both of you feel the quotes can speak for themselves.
> It's a dog not a baby.

One of the reasons that so many dogs end up in shelters and rescues is that people think this way. What people need to realize is that in many ways a dog is just like a baby that never becomes self sufficient.

> If it were the case that demand exceeds the supply for unwanted dogs, there would be no need for rescue organizations.

Rescue organizations typically have more applications than dogs (very different than a general shelter). In these cases the organization is really a matching service. Older dogs are hard to place no matter what, particularly ones that already have health problems from years of neglect, abuse, and breeding.

The article makes it sound as though these weren't government loans. Are students of that institution able to tap government loans?

Bootcamps often post misleading statistics about placement numbers [0]. Will they be subject to the same fraud allegations? I would think misleading statistics are pretty much par for the course for nearly all form of sales. I generally apply by the principal of "never ask your barber if you need a haircut".

Oooh, The ICF-7600GR. Bought one in Vantaa Helsinki Airport on my way to Russia almost 20 years ago to be able to listen to news I could understand while there. (After having lusted for one for ages, me being an intrepid DXer since late primary school an' all - drooling over the ads in every edition of the WRTH which arrived at my local library. (I suspect at my request - I seem to recall I only found references to my library card in the borrower list in the back of the book...)

Still listen to the 7600 almost daily - even as SW stations dwindle and the (lack of) solar activity does nothing to help matters, I still get excellent reception of the BBC World Service here on the west coast of Norway. (Which, much to my puzzlement, I still prefer to listen to on HF, even though it is available on DAB+, too...)

I think what you are missing is that Google's SCM has different concepts and terms than Git.

Google's system is derived from Perforce, which has the concept of a changelist (think: commit), which can be "pending" and stored on the server for review/cloning by other developers: https://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.051/manuals/p4guide/07...

This allows you to share work without (in Git terms) pushing to master. Branches in Perforce-like systems tend to be more heavyweight and permanent (IIRC you have to branch an entire path of files, it is not the same as the Git concept of "branch" which is just a commit that points to another parent commit).

You can think of the system as enabling you, in Git terms, to create pull requests without the creation of an underlying branch.
It may not be defined, but it can certainly be characterised. Umberto Eco has a good list: http://interglacial.com/pub/text/Umberto_Eco_-_Eternal_Fasci...

Missing from that page is the preamble in which he describes growing up under Mussolini.

> Purported "speech" that poses a clear and present danger is illegal.

Speech that leads to or implies violence at slightly greater remove is, however. Circulating pictures of targets with people's faces on; calling for violence or that people should arm themselves against an outgroup; that kind of thing.
Bold hypothesis: fascism has never won in a free-speech environment. Only in an environment where everybody was a-ok with opposing opinions being suppressed, which allowed fascists to suppress different opinions.

Following this reasoning, GP's stance enables fascism.

> Bug fixes and incremental features will generally not get you promoted for good reasons.

This is exceptionally bad, but sadly true.

If you have an engineer who can unblock teams and fix issues in an hour that others take a week or cannot fix at all, they are gonna jump ship if they can't be recognized.

At that point you've lost a valuable resource.
The environment you're describing is more siloed than many 5000+-engineer companies I've worked at or read about. Which is concerning, given that you describe it as a startup.

A lot of cities are trying to increase the number of people that ride a bike for various good reasons. If your solution leads to bikes being essentially banned except as toys, it's not a solution.
I think the right way to think about it is that modern enzymes are at least partly optimized to handle a wide range of conditions (more or less what you said), but also lock in a fair amount of legacy details that would be hard to evolve out due to the amount of dependencies on them (everything in biology is tightly related, even modular systems leak).

I think of it in an RL context- evolution has acted as a subtle force on the fitness, in which natural selection evaluates mutation- but the resulting actions and policies are extremely subtle and integrate a wide range of conditions, and weave a large number of players together. Then scientists come along an re-optimize for a single variable and claim they've "fixed a bug". No, it wasn't a bug, you just don't understand the full aspects of the biology.

(note: I work in ML and biology full time, but what I say above is effectively non-scientific, impossible to prove, and mainly for enjoyable thought-discussions).

> If I change this code, what will happen?

This is why I love single file Vue components[1] with scoped CSS/SASS. The styling for the component in question is right there with the markup and JS, and you know it's not effecting any other HTML with it's declared classes/styling. Breeds a lot of confidence when making changes without having to follow more rigid and fragile paradigms.

Obviously you will still have global styles and themeing but figured this is at least worth a mention.

I'm not a fan of Udacity, mainly because I paid them $800 for a single course (the first in the self-driving car series) and then they blocked all my access to the course content because I didn't finish the projects in the allotted time. I was hoping to finish later because my work schedule changed, but they were completely inflexible. I should have read the fine print. The course content was OK, but I don't think they have great policies.

It's also my understanding that almost everyone in Singapore lives in some sort of government-subsidized housing. The system is structured such that it's difficult to get an apartment or buy a house unless you're married so many typical Singaporean households have several adults earning an income under the same roof.[1]

Florida is the gateway to the America’s. It’s how all these invasive species got here in the first place.

People breed alligators in their bathtubs, release giant pythons. Maybe they don’t need to breed the moneys but do things to support their population growth (kill predators if any, leave food, etc...) or they can breed monkey without the disease. The invasive monkeys did get here and released in the first place after all.
This is somewhat invalidated by the sales of older iPhones.

I bought a $40 Kyocera one time. I suffered through a terrible camera, lousy software, slow everything, surely insecure software, lack of updates, and more. Later I realized I could have bought an iPhone 4s for $50 and been much, much better off. Currently I use an iPhone 6 that I purchased with no contract for $180.

I suppose you could buy older Android phones too, but I think they stop getting updates sooner than iPhones. I've been impressed with how long Apple supports their old hardware.

thanks for the link, I was only thinking about vehicles moving parallel to one's direction of travel (ie a lane change situation).

I have to say though, the design of that intersection seems crazy. do I understand correctly that vehicles traveling on either road can just go straight across without stopping if they don't see anyone? where I live, at least one of those roads would need a stop sign. I can't think of a single time where I've been surprised by someone moving perpendicular to me.

But many of the breaches have involved companies like TJ Maxx or Target. Few realized that shopping at a nationwide brick and mortar store was a way a card might be stolen.
