If you are able to move it back easily, then you did not move it far enough away. Have the auto withdraws go somewhere harder to access. A mutual fund or something. Or a bank with a saving account where you need to GO to the bank to get the money back out.
But imagine the increased productivity of your devs if they only had to check out a single repo. Anyone has the same organization of projects on their machine. All tools are in one place...
First monorepo I worked on, we used separate compilation units for each 'module'. We paid a tax on build time but it added a bit of friction to adding new cross-module dependencies willy nilly.

I don't know how you maintain that arm's length separation if you don't have compilation units in your language of choice, and that may contribute to some of the muddiness in this kind of discussion. "It depends."

The weird thing about Firecracker is that it doesn't run on Amazon EC2 shared host instances - but theoretically it will run on Digital Ocean shared instances, Azure shared instances and Google shared instances.

For the most part, Amazon EC2 is excluded from firecracker, unless you pay at the top end for bare metal EC2 instances.

Odd.
I had very similar critic of "server js", but with enough backlinks and a bit of time it seems to be solved. Though it's not exactly the same, in my case it was because of "noise", in this case it'd because of a competing brand. I'd say keep jetpack to see how it turns out, they are vastly different projects.

Use uBlock Origin to make your life better and eliminate ads. It's the source cited in Ars' article. They added nothing to it.
Competition between the USA and the USSR also produced thousands of nuclear ICBMs... but I get your point that space tech development was faster. It's slowed but hasn't stopped and everyone has far from given up. I think we have to use our money & brainpower rationally - especially given the many threats we have on Earth - whereas competition and egos often go against this. For example, I think a manned colony on Mars in the next decade is definitely possible but would be an epic waste (what would it achieve?) - IMHO we should first develop far more advanced robotics, self-replicating machines, etc - to build a proper base before sending humans over.
Tesla Is Now America's Number One Premium Automotive Company
China's leaders have historically shied away from this policy, so as to protect itself from the whims of foreign investors, and maintain maximum control over its economy. This reversal may point to a crisis beneath the surface, as it's probably not their preferred path...
Why does the build not work at 500 engineers? Just because there are 5 apps / services and their 25 libraries doesn't mean you have build the 4 other apps when doing development just because you did a git pull. Libraries would still need to build their dependants in a CI system with poly or mono repos.
Just remembered: in fact the work was a master thesis, and the final report is in Italian.

They might do it for 3x the return:

"China’s government bonds were among the world’s best performers in 2018, returning 7.7 percent, while U.S. Treasuries earned 0.8 percent, ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch data show. That gain is in yuan terms, however, and the yuan dropped 5.4 percent against the U.S. dollar."

So 7.7 - 5.4 = 2.3%

which is almost 3x 0.8% return on US Treasuries.
As I understand it, when goods are trades the opposite sides each accumulates the others foreign currency. They can use this currency to buy things in the other's country, in this case their debt.
we don't just let people drive because they can pass a road test. There's probably 12 year old's that can pass a road test with enough training.

We let people drive because we know that they are fully capable agents able to make decisions even in case of failure. In other words, they are responsible, reliable, fully cognisant individuals, far beyond the technical ability of operating a machine.

A self-driving car is like a parrot trained to speak. Not only is it not an agent aware of its larger surrounding and potential implications of getting into unknown situations. It also has no real understanding of what driving is at all, it's even stupider than a pet. And because its software is usually deployed to thousands if not millions of devices at the same time, there is little to no variance to protect from extreme failure.
I did this trip in my own car this year, from the UK and back.

The article is a bit dishonest about what the highway is like. The majority of the Pamir Highway (the M41) is actually in quite good condition. There are just occasional unpaved stretches, notably the mountain passes and the stretch down to Khorog. The flat bits have good, wide tarmac that you can do 60mph on.

Still - it was a good lesson in being prepared. There are not many people passing by, so you really don't want to be breaking down. Winter was drawing in when we were there, making it extra dicey.

The real adventure is getting off the Pamir Highway. The Wakhan Valley, Zorkul Lake, the Bartang Valley. That is where my best memories are from, and where most of the photos in the article seem to be from.

Apart from the landscapes, my other fond memory is of the Pamiri people. They are such kind, warm people. It is engrained in their culture to care for travellers. When you live in such a hostile environment, you have to look after each other out of necessity.

It was also interesting seeing how their quality of life has changed recently. There is no cell service, and electricity only in the two large towns. But most of the places we visited without electricity now have cheap solar panels from China. The influx of tourism means that everyone runs a homestay and can start to afford things like that.

I have been meaning to write up the trip in more detail. I haven't recorded it particularly well yet. A few photos are on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bfirsh/
A possibility is that they believe that country no longer has much to gain from undervaluing its currency as its neighbors are starting to be real competitors in manufacturing, and now they're more interested in building up a consumer class.
It's not for everyone, but damn, why is there a TERABYTE of code? Just curious - assets? checking in binaries?
I am not at all opposed to unions in principle but I'm not sure unionizing would be good for us. For skilled, high-demand labor like coding there are a lot of downsides to unions. Corruption, bureaucracy, union fees, increased regulation etc.

It’s women’s mate preferences that determine which men are sexually attractive, so that one can’t be laid on men. For the flip side you’re of course correct, because men are primarily attracted to fertility proxies. Nobody can change either of these facts though, so one has to work within those constraints. Similarly sex will always complicate interactions between the sexes. Our society is observably wrestling with that now and I don’t know how it will turn out. What I do know though is that any sustainable arrangement has to be in concordance with reality.

However, in news you may find encouraging, women are achieving overwhelming success in at least one field where they aren’t trading on sex appeal: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/02/how-women-took-ove...
OK, so the fact that it isn't (yet) supported by Linux completely invalidates the concept?

I've heard of Linux zealots, but this is something else..
This comment rings true to me. Old cities in Europe are not very developed vertically but they all have those old 5 stories building with internal courtyards etc that are NICE to live in because they foster community and knowing your neighbors. I with SF and the bay area had more of those.
Yes, but the Model 3 won't start selling in Europe and China until this quarter. Once that happens we can compare sales, but for now US is the only area where you can make a comparison.
Also based on my own logic and zero experience on the matter, why should they hire you when you would work so much for them for free? What would be your standing in a job negotiation?

Not to say it can't happen. For example, if you make cool features for Gitlab, they may want to reserve it for the paid version but they won't be able to (I hope) unless you were an employee, causing you to surrender your copyright for said developments to them.

Still, I think you'd be setting yourself up for disappointment, if you only do that work with the expectation that they would eventually hire you, when they have given no indication that they would even consider it. It's too much investment with little to no guarantee of returns, and most benefit of the work is gratuitously given to someone else.

It might be better to spend that free time to build a portfolio of independent projects to showcase to potential employers. Those projects would have your name on them instead of some company's, and they make it easier to judge the quality of your work by potential employers. It's easier to judge the quality of a complete project, as opposed to a few commits here and there in a project that's been worked on by many people.

While I agree with you totally about the experiments -- am I the only person that thinks it's crazy that we're going to give $80K a year to the most useless people in our society when the median household income is like 33% less than that!?

It'd be great to, you know, not have the homeless problem. But when it's going to cost substantially more per person than the average person earns in a year, that just doesn't seem fair...
With the caveat that I am neither a physicist nor a mathematician:

1. My understanding is that some kinds of 3d universes can be encoded on a 2d surface. Whether our universe is one of those is an area of research.

2. You can't always generalize from one dimension to another in mathematics. The most common example is that knots can only exist in three dimensions; they don't exist in 2 or 4.
I'm not being glib but I think agreeing on outcomes is a much harder issue than you think that it might be. In my experience in this space, disagreement on desired outcomes is the root of political problems around drug addiction, mental health, and homelessness.

I would hazard a guess that you support harm reduction strategies, those policies do not garner widespread support amongst the voting public. Further, even when it is, it is very easy for opponents to say, "Why are we giving drug addicts this money when school teachers haven't had a raise in five years and can't afford to live here?"
It's great that you have lots of data to be able to analyze, but I think you've missed the point with that you're analyzing. I'm not sure what the visualizing is doing to offer any insight? Just graphs of months where it goes up or down at a slight varied rate, and a geo graph showing that (obviously) CA and NY have the most job openings?

I think the only interesting "insight" (If you could call it that) is the popularity of different technologies (though not how its changed in 2018 vs 2017, or how it differs by company, or salary range).

Who's the audience - those looking for jobs in startups? Those who research the industry? Job posting sites use their data as a leading economic indicator - can you point to anything in this realm from this data?

Analysis that would make this more insightful and actionable would include:

a) Show the data compared to previous years, to say for example if hiring by month was actually cyclical

b) Jobs by startup - ie, what percentage of Carvana jobs are eng, sales, finance etc

c) No salary information analyzed - probably the most interesting data is missing

d) A table of top 10 countries by no. postings vs their previous year would give more info to your geo graph

e) Is startup appetite for remote workers growing over time? As a number of jobs and as a percentage of jobs - and what areas are there higher % of jobs going to remote workers?

A good example of a valuable data company is Statista [1] (links to how a geo graph works with a table), where they have this sort of data over a longer time horizon - which provides more actionable insights (eg, is my industry growing, what is the penetration rate?).

If there were more ways this pie was sliced then I could see many interesting insights coming from such a useful dataset!

That's a problem with a lot of content, right? Specifically practical concepts. Did you ever find yourself thinking the same things about your entry level college classes if you had been lucky enough to attend any?

You can read a blog post about building bicycle wheels in five minutes and get most everything you'd gain from going to a weeklong course, but the difference is all in how you'd engage with it. A longer discussion, open area for questions, and building familiarity with the material drive the skill home whereas that 5 minute blog post might as well disappear into the depths of memory the second you navigate elsewhere.

I took the course and while I agree that I wanted more depth, it certainly wasn't "vacuous" given the context. And it should be noted, the materials of the course follow some of the concepts taught within - they're doing their best to make sure you learn their basic concepts of how to learn.
And in the case of iPhone, the software takes advantage of custom-made, powerful, performant, and yet efficient chips that would make snapping photos take forever on older or non-specialised chips.

I'd really like to know the context in which the time for light to travel ~1 inch or (generously) 1/200 of 1 cpu operation or 1/100 of a cache read is relevant to anything.

In OpenSCAD you build your part by constructing its convex hull. This is done by using primitives with known convex hulls such as rectangles and spheres and combining them using operations such as addition, subtraction, union, and Minkowski sum (which is an interesting peice of mathematics.)

Because you interact with shapes using code, it feels much more precise than a GUI. I think this makes it easier to create parts that aren't "glitchy." You want your part to have the minimal amount of detail and using code makes this easier because you can keep track of the steps to draw your shapes to see if you made any unnecessary changes.

OpenSCAD made me think about CAD in a different way.
You give someone a billion dollars, and they promise to give you back your billion plus another 210 million three years later.

Probably wouldn't want to put your only billion there, but if you had say 160 billion sitting around, put one there and the other 159 billion in US treasuries you have added 30 basis points of upside to your return at a risk of 29 basis points.
Hi! About 6 months ago, I built a Spotify integration to:

- save all plays

- save all “Discovery Weekly” playlists

- save top songs & artists of the last month, 6 months, and all-time & observe how each changes over time

This weekend, I wrote an article with some technical descriptions & learnings. Sharing my work here!

Thanks!

In principle this isn't that different from ships designed to track ICBMs, and I've seen designs both with spinning parabolic radar antennas in radomes and regular antennas on gimbals. In fact many of those tracking ships were used in space programmes, but I'm not certain, whether just for one way telemetry or two-way comms
Don't you love it when companies signal that you really probably shouldn't work there
Anecdata: I was going to upgrade my iPhone this year, until I saw the new prices and decided I could wait one more year.

I should have been an easy sale. After a bad experience with Android, I have no desire to go back. Budget isn't an issue. But if Apple is going to price phones like laptops, I'm going to upgrade as slowly as I upgrade my laptop. (Which given how long it took them to get more than 16GB of RAM, I've gotten used to doing pretty slowly.)
Yes and no. For example, a lot of asset managers offer products like "environmentally responsible" portfolios which are supposedly pretty popular. But, if there's money to be made, we all know how the world works - there will be a guy willing to make it
As always - it depends on your threat model. But frankly, for most cases - iPhone.

Might not be the answer you want, and it has neither the purity nor auditability of OSS. But sales are down because of pricing model insanity, which is fairly orthogonal to your question, and it's still huge (so you blend in) and from a corporation with incentives generally more aligned towards your security and privacy than most.

So, unless you're doing insane burners and low level hacking to make a more secure device, iPhone is probably the way to go.
Could you provide more information or sources about that?
A lot of scientific insights are obvious in hindsight. IMO especially in applied mathematics, but maybe that's just because it's a field I know well enough to notice.

A lot of ideas are obvious even without hindsight (again, especially in applied mathematics, and again, maybe that's just my bias). None-the-less, the person who said it first gets their name on the important idea.

There are lots of "<person's name> operator" and "<person's name> theorem" in big-but-not-core fields of (again, esp applied) mathematics where this phenomenon occurs.

I've been party to a lot of conversations that go something like "<person's name> idea or <person's name> technique is just '<fairly basic thing> applied to <fairly commonplace thing>' and it's stupid that it's named after <person's name>".

I always remind the speaker that this is good news -- one route to science fame is to just state the obvious loudly enough and early enough ;-)
I think there's a false dichotomy here.

In the post yesterday one of the arguments was that if nobody checks out all of the code then what's the value of having the code all in one place?

Last monorepo I worked on, individual contributors checked out just the tree they were working on (we had a suite of applications with several shared modules). We made it simple and straightforward for them to get what they wanted and ignore people whose work didn't impact them.

But the senior people, who were better with architecture and version control trivia, checked out the entire thing. They would steward any cross-cutting changes that needed to be done, and make sure any callers to shared libraries were updated in the face of breaking changes. They were also backstopped by the build plans, (some of) which also checked out the entire thing.
If you think people should be banned from discussions because of their "attitudes" regarding moderation, you don't understand the difference between moderation and censorship, and you are advocating censorship.

> I would ban you for such an attitude.

Well, then you are a would-be censor, and it's a good thing you can't ban everyone everywhere, or else the whole world would fall silent and the only sound would be of your waxing nonsense. All those "spammers" with their "spam" complaints about CP, amirite?

If you think people should be banned from discussions because they won't stop complaining about all the CP on the network and how they can't legally run a pod anymore, well that's the attitude I'd expect from a CP network admin.
I believe this is only because ec2 does not allow nested virtualization. In my experience, nested virtualization is still buggy and can suffer from major performance issues. So although it is possible to run it in a vm, I'm not sure I would recommend running production code on it there.
How is Hungary not democratic? Fidesz won 3 times in a row, and the election system is more fair than FPTP, they aren't banning or killing the opposition.

While I don't like their policies, this is what the people want and this is what democracy in eastern europe looks like.

I agree, use a monorepo. I anxiously await MSFT's git megamonorepo functionality. Until then there's things like git meta[0].

Hah, I'm the opposite. Despite having pretty great transit here, my needs don't quite line up with the transit network, and so some times are far longer than they are by car, to the point of 20min drive vs 1.5-2hr transit. Given that, I got a car... and now prefer it whenever possible.

If I want to engage my brain at all I'll listen to a podcast or something, but often those half hour periods of relative disengagement are very nice breaks to have.

That said, I do choose 10 minutes of walking over 2 minutes of driving in anything but a torrential downpour, or 2 minutes of walking over an extra 30 seconds hunting a closer parking spot. Maybe it just all comes down to not wanting to deal with (potentially unpleasant) people.
Standing sound waves could achieve this. Albeit, the change in refractive index is small.

Another possibility would be using molecules having a high refractive index when exited. A laser tuned to that would probably work. But that's not exactly in air.
First observations of quantum physics was that if you light through two slices of holes in a paper it makes more than two marks on the wall behind it - this proves that the light is some kind of a waveform or could act like one. As far as I know the fun starts when you try the same experiment with exactly one photon emitted. The single photon will simultaneously go through the two hole. This caused some confusion and we now call this phenomenon and related things "quantum". But thid is just my understanding based on a book, other commenters seems to be much more knowledgeable about the topic.
