It is undemocratic by design (the role of the parliament is roughly that of the role of the parliament in Bismarck's Germany, they can't introduce laws and can only veto or amend laws they don't like. They don't appoint the commission etc.) and tries to replace the national laws and constitutions democratic nations have given to them. Luckily they didn't manage to institute a EU constitution, but some of their other reforms like Bologna have done enough damage as is. Their science funding is extremely ineffective and wasteful compared to the funding schemes of the national organizations like the Max Planck and Helmholtz society, but unfortunately practically mandatory now.

I get that it is a "right wing, populist" thing to oppose the EU, but there are plenty of reasons not to like it.

Anyway, It would not be surprising that they confirm that there is water there. IANAA, but water may be confirmed in the next 10-20 years. Water is everywhere, and someone has measured the atmosphere composition of other planet using the change of the spectrum just before/after partial occlusions of the star by the planet.

Life is difficult to confirm and it would be a much greater news. [I expect that there is (bacterial like) life in these kind of planets, but until confirmation it's just an speculation.]

Stuff like this makes me wonder: why not just get off Twitter? It strikes me as odd that people still willingly participate in that.

Funny "strange/tragic" rather than "haha." Two stories. Heck, a bonus third.

My teammate was calling a candidate who had submitted their resume. Teammate got their voicemail where the candidate drops the N-Word. To top it off, Teammate was African. Non-plused. Candidate frantically called back apologizing saying it was a joke voice message. A big nope from our side.

A candidate comes in, brings their laptop for the shared screen coding section. Frantically clears all the Asian porn tabs while sharing. When we get to the questions for us part, he asks about the open travel policy and if that can be used to go to Thailand (no, open travel was to our other offices, all in the US). A bit cringy.

Bonus round. Early in my interview experience. Candidate comes in and two of us are going through coding questions with her. Simple stuff. She is woefully not qualified. We reach out to our in-house recruiter (much more experienced than either of us) for help on ending the interview early. Co-interviewer and I step out and go to the kitchen to commiserate on the negative experience. After letting the candidate go, In-House-Recruiter comes over. "Man, I've never seen someone cry so hard at being told it wasn't going to work out." Queue us interviewers feeling gut punched and like total jerks, totally gap faced. In-House-Recruiter laughs and says just kidding, Candidate knew she wasn't qualified and was just interested in trying a dev interview as she was normally a project manager and was perfectly fine and smiling as she left. Man, got us good.
Do you know about specific kinds of trade that the UK would want different deals for than the EU? You might be able to optimize that somewhat, but I doubt it would weigh up against the leverage you have as (part of) the huge EU trading bloc, plus the loss of access to the internal market.

Teresa May was a 'remain'.

Subjective, but...

It was never a question in my mind, that May would sabotage the negotiations to the point that the skeptics of the exit, would proclaim 'I told you so'.

Never believed that she could perform her duty honestly.
What a stain she is, on the fabric of trust of the British people.
> The flow chart looks almost exactly the same for "pull" and "pull --rebase".

"pull" and "pull --rebase" can cause two kind of conflicts:

1. Merge or rebase conflict inside the repository.

2. The would-be merged or rebased HEAD conflicting with the dirty working directory.

The article demonstrates the latter and it's the less important one as it's avoidable by pulling from a clean working directory or pulling a non-HEAD branch.
My parents moved countries, bringing their WiFi router, and for months afterwards their iPhones would locate them back in the old country... Apple's database was quite slow to pick up the new location.
I think there are multiple issues that have led to the UK being in the situation it is in:

1) The UK wanting to negotiate an amicable parting, but the EU actually wanting to punish the UK and negotiated in bad faith

2) Not starting No Deal preparations immediately. Standard negotiating tactic is to have a "BATNA" - best alternative to a negotiated agreement. Not beginning No Deal preparations prevented that.

3) Having a UK civil service that is largely in favour of remaining in the EU

4) Having a Prime Minister that was a remainer.

It does not matter. Are your tests preventing defects? Is it possible to run new or affected tests quickly? Are your tests reasonably easy to maintain?

When I am testing an application that is basically a layer between my app and a database, it does not make sense to mock the database. What then am I actually testing.

When I am testing a package that is pure logic, it makes sense to testing it in isolation.

When I am building a user interface that is in flux, the best tests are manual.

My definition of a unit test: The smallest piece of functionality that can be tested in isolation and provide value.

This does not test a damned thing: assert.equal(dbQuery, "SELECT * FROM users")
You have a point of course, but AVM doesn't only send security updates, but also functionality was added and sometimes removed.
UK is staring at supply chain and financial disruptions post Brexit. In the multi polar world - UK is not a heavy weight any more. Without the collective bargaining power of EU - UK would have tough time rebuilding economy in an uber competitive global economic context.
It's worth pointing out that the US is not, never has been, and will not be as long as we have our Constitution, a democracy.

Looking at the wiki page [0], I can see the benefits of the move:

> Better metrics overall

> Public stats page updated automatically

> Better knowledge of relative use of different variants

> Insight into Fedora's use in short-lived test systems and temporary containers vs. longer-term installations

but nothing evaluating how and whether the proposed solutions will achieve those things.

With no method being perfect, I'm suprised that no one is calling for a quantitative evaluation of various ID collection schemes, and that there is defined "good enough" value, other than

> We need better data than that.

I'm not a Fedora maintainer, and I'm not maintaining any other software of such popularity, so I have to ask: why? I assume it's to allocate work better. At which point do the downsides outweigh that benefit?

> Google and other entities already have that data.

How is this an argument FOR gathering sensitive information about the people around you? Should you also look to their trash and digitise any documents they throw away and make a website that allows you to search through these documents? You could argue that Google or some other entity already has that information anyway.

You could also argue that this would increase consciousness with regards to the privacy concerns of your trash.

But what the article doesn't address is that the same effect is seen in flying at high altitudes without supplementary oxygen, even in the absence of sleep deprivation, dehydration, and simple physical exhaustion.
Also, which is the source of this etymology for “carusella”?

I’m Italian, and it sounded very strange, so I made a little research.
Treccani dictionary, says the word comes from neapolitan “carusiello”, ball of clay, equivalent to small head of caruso, caruso means boy in neapolitan. Because players originally threw each others clay balls.
This makes lot more sense.
you are right, a suicide then.
I filled that form out too. It wasn't the quickest, but it wasn't difficult either. Definitely didn't get the impression that it was some kind of barrier.
That was scary to watch. I've had a similar experience [3] performing the Wim Hof Method [1] under medical supervision [2]. For 10 to 20 seconds they were asking me the question of: "Mettamage, what is your name?!" And it took me 10 to 20 seconds to register the question.

Moreover, I wasn't the only one and also not the extreme one. My friend (whom I supervised myself) was out for 30 seconds and there was one person during the experiment who seemed to be out for 2 to 3 minutes. The doctors were rushing to get an oxygen mask but then he 'woke up' again and was normal.

I think in the case of the Wim Hof Method training phase what ultimately happens is that you instinctively breath again at some point and therefore get normal oxygen again (after not having it for 2 to 3 minutes after breathing all your oxygen out).

[1] There's a training phase in the Wim Hof Method where you can have a severe lack of oxygen. When you use the actual Wim Hof Method in order to battle the cold you won't experience it. The training phase is designed for you to understand more intuitively how to do it.

[2] I was a test subject for this scientific experiment: http://www.innerfire.nl/files/pnas.pdf -- non-paywalled PNAS publication -- PNAS link: https://www.pnas.org/content/111/20/7379

[3] See the scientific explanation behind it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18911674#18919660 -- while oxygen levels stay at 99%, the availability is a lot less. It does mention that the blackout itself is caused by hypoxia.
Oh, alright then. My apologies! You sounded like an American who wants to nitpick over US foreign policy, something which would be pointless at a time when no clear-cut foreign policy exists and the former foreign policies are well-documented.
My 9-person company is 100% remote, but we have been from the start so we've always had that culture. Note however we all work from our own homes; we are not simultaneously travelling. I wouldn't take issue with someone doing that by the way so long as they could remain productive and within a reasonably number of timezones.

It's harder to grow the company because it's hard to hire junior staff that you train up to senior level. This is because junior staff need a lot of attention from senior staff to train them up (which is more challenging in a remote situation) and also they tend to be younger and don't necessarily have the discipline to work for long stretches of time without supervision.

On the other hand, this means we only have ever had senior developers working on the codebase so its quality is much higher than I have seen at other companies.
>The notion that any of those platforms is democratic is laughable.

They are democratic as publishing and research platforms because every citizen has equal access to them, subject only to a device and internet connection. Only 20 years ago, the ability to publish and spread an opinion was heavily restricted by your power and financial status. With the exception of countries with good public libraries (a small minority of the world) the same was true of libraries. You're comparing to a non-existent utopia, not actual universes that have ever existed anywhere.
I can understand (but definitely wouldn't approve) if this happened early in the company's life but given when it happened and what the company has been valued at in the past few years, I really do not understand what this guy is doing.

That's not exactly the story with Journal of Topology. It's published by the LMS, which partnered with Wiley.
It seems[0] the new MongoDB license is basically non-free and it would make no sense to include it in RHEL8. I hope Debian and other distros follow suit as a result if they come in agreement. It's sad that the license change all resorts to greed basically, as if Oracle took over MongoDB.

If I were to ever use a NoSQL database for a new project I'd aim for MIT / 2-clause BSD based projects instead. PostgreSQL has no issue being BSD-like licensed (all this time I thought it was BSD or MIT, turns out it's a similar license instead). It saddens me RethinkDB couldn't compete more with MongoDB.

You don't always write a test first. A bug? Sure, write a test that shows the bug, fix it, make it green. A very well defined something? Sure, TDD. Many times, you will write code (or come across pre-existing code) and tests come last.
I'm a bit confused by the linked article. The only link to a study I found was to [1] published Advances in Psychiatric Treatment. The other study quoted is for some specific effects the article mentions. Any idea where the link between CYP1A2 and caffein comes from?

Think of 27 people negotiating, all with very different agendas, versus one person with a clear agenda.

Why do you believe that the EU would be in a better position? It's like a rat king when it comes to negotiating, 27 countries pulling in different directions all with different desires.
I am aware that they must find it fun, but I am challenging the ethics of this 'fun'. I think this information should not exist anywhere and even if it did, it shouldn't be made public.

Geocaching and trying to gather as much privacy sensitive information about the people around you are two different things. With geocaching there aren't any parties involved that are unaware of the activity who are still negatively impacted by it.
I agree. Like a keylogger on a wired keyboard which exfiltrates via the bluetooth dongle. That dongle was there for a reason.
>CLT talks about sampling from the population infinitely. It doesn't say anything about diminishing returns. I don't get how you go from sampling infinitely to diminishing returns.

Yes it does. It even implies it in the name 'limit'. In the limit of infinitely many samples, we approximate a normal distribution. This approximation has diminishing returns.

>All I see in this post is complaints and no real solutions. The solution that's given is what? Have less data?

It's fine to point out problems without giving solutions. You seem very aggravated.
>Going with the maintainer's repo means that you trust the maintainer with providing security updates for the version you have installed or you trust them with providing a useable upgrade path.

Why should that be a problem if you use the official repo, handled by MongoDB themselves?

I don't think that you can, manually, swap SD cards (on a running system! That alone would trigger all sorts of quirks, unless you're running off initramfs, tmpfs or an external storage device.) and toggle power so quickly that the RPi reboots but doesn't erase RAM. I mean, you might get very lucky, but the boot process is heavily stacked against you - the bootloader on your SD card gets executed fairly late in the boot sequence: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/10442/what-i...
You forgot the last step "#Spend-your-money" with links to Lamborghini- and Ferrari-Shoping-Sites.
Agreed.

Adding to that, I'd say that a big part of how "monetizing labour" compares to "monetizing capital" is, in simple terms, that monetizing capital (homes) has more too to maneuver. Ironically, labour (drivers) is the more commodified market.

Uber is a market maker in a world with hard price competition on both ends: drivers and passengers.

Since "rentals" is more variable, a 5-10% change in price/cost/income is tolerable. You can redecorate a rental, for example, to affect its value. Seasonality can shift price by a lot. Etc. This generally lends better to a thick, market-liberal layer.

It's a slight irony (again) that this is the end point. Airbnb was innovative. It changed my travel habits immediately. But, conceptually it's just a holiday rentals site. Nothing new apart from quality and scale. One rental's ROI will be very different from another's. One consumer's choice will be very different from another's. It's a differentiation market. Diverse product, flexible prices.

For an Uber customer/contactor, both the app and the drivers are commodities. What Uber probably needs to do is ruthless efficiency, low marginal costs. Not many SV-startup style companies have that mentality, so hard road ahead.

Also, being capital-oriented, Airbnb gets better over the long term. At this stage, much of Airbnb's stock comprises properties bought or leased specifically to be an Airbnb business.

The problem is that most Git GUIs are just that—Git GUIs, with much of their functionality being a thin layer over a subset of the decidedly poor-usability Git command line interface. There are small areas of their functionality where I find that some do a really good job, but mostly they still require you to learn the underlying concepts and nuances of Git rather than of version control in general. I am not aware of any that have evidently been constructed from the other end, focusing on the users and workflows, bending Git into shape around that. Naturally, there are dangers of being opinionated like that when it comes to playing ball with other users that might not use that particular client; this is a hard problem, which explains the paucity of attempts. (Making “a Git client” is easy; making a good tool for users is hard. It’s similar in other domains where there’s an easy path and a far better path—the far better path is seldom trodden.)

I would say that for most CRUD applications it is much easier to have the tests run against an sqlite database instead of mocking it, so would let unit tests update the database and write tests to check if the data in the database match what I would expect from the input. If you change how you store the data, it isn't a side effect of changes you are doing but the main effect so the test could be rewritten anyway. Some call that an integration test
