Having a car gives you a stronger sense of having control over your transportation, namely you don't have to rely on other people, on timetables, or the stability of the regional transit system in order to get from place to place.

You do have to deal with traffic, but for many people it's worth the tradeoff.

My biggest issue with GitLab is support.

After using it for our test pipelines for a year we've switched to GitLab CI completely with our deployments and right after we've started running into issues on our selfhosted instance where for about three weeks now we're fighting with stuck pipelines where runners won't pick up jobs until you manually restart them. We've been paying customers for GitLab Enterprise (now Starter) for years and the recurring theme is that our tickets go unanswered for basically ever.

We're having performance issues on AWS, trying to run on ECS with an EFS Filesystem underneath, have basically done everything to rule out the EFS as the issue and now because our tickets go unanswered migrating to a dedicated EC2 Instance to see if this makes things run faster...

From a product perspective we're starting to love GitLab, but from a technical & business pov it's getting increasingly painful to work with if you rely on it for too much.

I wonder if Ruby is the reason it's hard for them to run reliably as a self-hostable solution, but as I have 0 Ruby experience I wouldn't know.

I come from an area with lots of skiing.

Snow cannons, piste bashers, lift maintenance. Skiing is very polluting. Besides, you have to (usually) drive quite a bit to get to the mountain.

It's also extremely expensive.

I did car free in LA for awhile, it’s becoming an increasingly popular option actually. I did it by living close to work in a mostly urban area (Westwood), but one of my colleagues commutes in from Hollywood somewhere, he seemed happy with how it worked out.
In terms of material costs for the structure, no, high rises aren't the optimum of affordability. But when you factor in the infrastructure requirements on the scale of demand for "the city" you can easily find that building miles and miles of brownstones gets you the worst of both worlds - you need to maintain the infrastructure of high rises with public transit, cleaners, etc but you are only getting a fraction the density you could if you spent more on the building.

You can think of it from the perspective of how cities grow - there is pressure inward to grow up the core and people will push from the outsides in. That push can result in low density sprawl or upsizing density, but they are pushing in to get closer to the actual city core where maximum interconnectedness and locality can happen.

In the naive way most US cities have grown individual townships and developments manage themselves and protect their own to the detriment of the whole. Its how you get situations like what Strong Towns talks about all the time[1] where sprawling out has quadratic expenses. As metro areas grow, and certainly when you are in the tens of millions, you are looking at spending preposterous amounts of money on your suburban infrastructure that way eclipses the per-unit costs of building denser buildings in a smaller footprint.

This article is 14 years old, and dates back to a time when the debates about the "semantic web" had a lot more wind in their sails. (I made similar arguments around that time...)
It's effectively the same, because most people will be paying more taxes than they'll receive in their UBI check. So only a relatively small part of the population would actually receive money, with the rest effectively subsidizing them.

The main advantage over doing explicit means-testing is that this all is much simpler to maintain - you just need to adjust the amount and the tax until you end up with the cut-off (the point at which people are paying more into the system than they are receiving) is where you want it to be. It can even be dynamic, depending on how well the economy is doing.

Re. failing restaurants, that's a result of bad business planning. If you can't find staff, pay more, pass those costs on to customers. If people can afford to live in high-rent areas, they can afford to pay more for food.
Is there a benefit learning Elixir over Erlang? I've working a little bit with Erlang, and I've wondered if its worth the jump.
In my opinion, it's perfectly fine either way unless you're worried about performance. I personally tend to try to use the more performant option when there's a choice, but a lot of times it just doesn't matter.

That said, I suspect the example would be much faster if you didn't use the pipeline, because a single tool could do it all (I'm leaving in the substitution and column print that are actually unused in the result):

awk '/^x/{gsub("a","b");print $2; count++}END{print NR}' foo.txt
Apple uses and maintains https://sproutcore.com, not Cappuccino. The latter was made by ex-applers a long time ago. Though Apple also isn't monolithic and has many teams independently evaluating Angular, React and others.

Not too coincidentally, the author of Objective-Smalltalk, who said above that he wants to leverage Cappuccino, has also written up his criticism of React here: https://blog.metaobject.com/2018/12/uis-are-not-pure-functio...

Related: I've talked to a Cappuccino founder recently too, and my casual observation (which he agreed with) was that had they done Cappuccino all over again, they should have probably dropped Objective-J. Imo it's just a bit too much of a language bikeshedding and I don't think it would have changed framework _that_ much (proof: Swift works well with UIKit and AppKit). Though my opinion was just based on practicality of adoption; if Objective-smalltalk wants to take its time exploring around more than anything else, then I'd say it + cappuccino seems like a nice fit.

I'm really looking forward to Cappuccino staying alive for another ten years (and I wish all the luck to Objective-smalltalk's author) =). Though the recent Cappuccino conf doesn't feature many younger programmers.
It is though, globally speaking. It's something that consumes a massive amount of energy and pollutes a lot and should be priced that way.
I visited Santa Monica (basically LA unless you live in LA) several times and walked almost everywhere, only taking a Lyft when I really wanted to go across town (the Blue Bus comes eventually, but it isn't fast). Air quality was fine and there was a 4-mile beach to walk on if you wanted to really Walk.

I know people who live in Downtown LA and don't own cars.

I get the impression there are several parts of LA you can live in without regularly driving, and still have a very normal lifestyle. Not sure about the air quality downtown but my friends didn't complain about it.
Actually, it sounds like he/she doesn’t live downtown.

I had all that when I was living in Westwood, which is far far far aaay from downtown, but I could have had that in belverly hills, or Culver City, or even (but just barely) Brentwood.
And that's the rub: knowing what's phishing depends on who you are. Receiving a PDF with financial data has a completely different probability of being an attack if you know who the sender is and were expecting them to send such a file today.

Also, assuming that a message is phishing is usually not harmful in any way. If I got an email from dropbox.com (and were a Dropbox customer), I'd ignore the email, and just type "dropbox.com" in my web browser to see what's up. If you're paranoid, you don't need to be super smart about what exactly is phishing.

This isn't a fair test.

The rock paper scissors element is there, but not with worker rushing. Worker rushing is a huge disadvantage.

The term means you take your initial workers and charge the enemy. If you know where the enemy is you'll arrive about the time they are up one or two workers on you, then you just have to fight when you're down one or two workers and you can't back off (they'll return to mine).

A human can win like this if they are so much better at micro that they can overcome the material disadvantage (unlikely) or if their opponent panicks and does something dumb (e.g. pulling only half their workers to fight).

Because worker rushes arrive so early it doesn't matter what plan you have for the match, you'll have at least as many workers (if you are also worker rushing) or you'll have more. Maybe if you're going six pool you'll have fewer but you'll also be able to get lings and win with them.

The computer can lose to worker rushing only because it can get caught in loops of poor decisions (e.g. you lure away a couple workers and kill them).

Worker rushing is always a bad plan.

I have lived exclusively in the Western Coastal states and 100% of the cities I have lived in do not have consistent sidewalk coverage.
For example: Seattle, Sacramento, Olympia, Portland and especially other rural cities I have lived in.

American cities are designed for cars. Not people or people on bikes.

You would think that new developments would not continue this insanity and yet they are still allowed by city planners to cut corners.

Came to this thread to suggest squitch. Glad it's mentioned here. I really enjoy it's three generic concepts - deploy, verify, revert - and not having to tie my migrations to any particular language or ORM. In additon, it's supported on every operating system I've used with it and has got a docker image in case that's not good enough.
I had to parse slowly and try to figure out about what boomboomsubban wrote, what I now believe he wants to point is probably:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_Campaign_of_World_War_...

Austria-Hungary fought with the army from and occupied during the World War I the Serbian "territories" (inhabited with the people who massively died during the occupation) that dragandj says are still "less developed" today:

From the Wikipedia article: "The estimates of casualties are various: the Serb sources claim that The Kingdom of Serbia lost more than 1,200,000 inhabitants during the war (both army and civilian losses), which represented over 29% of its overall population and 60% of its male population,[14][15] while western historians put the number either at 45,000 military deaths and 650,000 civilian deaths[16] or 127,355 military deaths and 82,000 civilian deaths.[17]" The numbers are all over but whatever they are, they are huge for a small country. To compare with something that happened around the same time:

> Looks like ISO signatures are served over HTTP as well.

That's less of a problem than it sounds.

Sure you can MITM and change the sig on the fly, but without the private key you cannot generate a valid sig for a modified IOS. (And if Ubuntu have had that private key stolen, there are much much deeper problems than the ISOs being served over http...)

On the other hand, I suspect it's probably fewer than single digit percentages of people who download the ISOs who then jump through the GPG hoops to check the signature is valid. And as with all PGP/GPG keys, you've got the bootstrapping problem of how do you know that your copy of ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg is real to start with... (I've been to key signing parties, but not in the last ~30 years...)
It’s true that every employer is competing in a global marketplace. The wealth-maximizing outcome is for the most productive programmers to work at the companies with the biggest money faucets to optimize. It makes sense for those companies to pay gobs of money for programmers from all over the world. And if paying them even more to move to Mountain View makes them 5% more productive, it’s worth it. This is definitely true for programmers that are working on systems that generate billions of dollars and get bigger every year.

On the other hand, there are lots of less-productive companies out there that don’t generate billions of dollars through carefully-tuned funnels, but who still need to employ software engineers. They can’t afford to pay $300k+ to thousands of people like the top companies do. But if they can find some solid talent who happen to have attachments to a lower cost of living area, or maybe are worse at interviewing, etc. they can get away with paying a lot less.
> Go comes nowhere near Ruby's readability for me

I am not fluent in either, and I'm not looking to change that, but I have read code in both. I feel the exact opposite way, and I'm not trying to start a war or anything, but I was wondering if you'd be open to talking about what things in Go you find hard to read (and what things in Ruby you find very easy to read). Or is this about libraries (are Go libraries providing lower-level APIs than Ruby ones?)? Or have you read/written a lot more code in Ruby than Go?
That's a good point. The columns indeed are meaningful. But AFAIK (and after running a few simple scripts), it seems the indentation doesn't matter so much when you are in the program area. I just ran an "Until" statement and altered the indentation without changing the result. Perhaps this is just because I am tryin a newer version of COBOL (https://tio.run/#cobol-gnu)?

I'll update the post mentioning COBOL (and likely Fortran too), as at least "column-oriented".
> I suppose the question is, predicted by whom?

As predicted by the scientific consensus and the intergovernmental panel on climate change.

Disagreeing with them on this is no different than being a climate change denier, TBH.

The right thing to do is listen to the opinions of the experts, and this is what the experts believe and is the scientific consensus.

> Previously that was a privilege available to only the wealthiest corporations that could afford to take out an ad in the newspaper or a slot on television both of which required a high minimum spend and had limited inventory.

> With targeted advertising at scale, small businesses with limited budgets can run ads that are shown to only the users they care about. It's more effective, for far less money than what was previously available.

So more or less like Adsense? Or any other Web based ad company? I mean I totally get your point but scalable targetted ads is nether new nor exclusive to Facebook.

The huge difference is Adsense for example limits the visible ads to less than is normal on Facebook.

> So now you're in the business of managing several different accounts with differing, often incompatible features, with wildly varying levels of efficiency and requirements. Not to mention your customer data is spread out across various silos and in various formats.

This is assuming there aren't dozens of platforms doing exactly that already. Adsense too gives you targeting but you help the content creators while doing so.

Facebook is a interesting ad platform. However if you add that they are the only ones on that level that don't even pay their content creators it's simply to expensive. And as said before kinda unethical in my POV.
If the Linux kernel writers all instantly knew Rust as well as they know C, then in 10 years they might produce something that is as functional as the Linux kernel currently is. In the process, they would lose everything that they could do over the next ten years to improve the Linux kernel.

You could claim that eventually the payoff would pay back the lost 10 years. But "eventually" can be a very long time...

Ah, no.

Black Israelites (weird sect) yelled racist stuff at the kids, which is not ok. Phillips moved in, drumming and chanting. The kids smugged up and started racist chants and dancing.

The black Israelites and the kids were the assholes.

The kid is obviously doing the whole "I'm not touching you" thing, but he is very much antagonizing Phillips in the (full) video.
I also very much dislike the argument that it's the "corporations". The "corporations" are polluting this much because people buy and demand cheap consumer goods. These things need to be appropriately priced. Non-seasonal fruits, cars, consumer electronics, clothes shipped across half the world, air travel. Aside from cars, things that people can live without. They should be priced as a luxury. (Carbon tax maybe?)

But if you began pricing these things appropriately, you'd probably see a very bad reaction. Which is why you have a good point.
That is true of all public transit systems, period. If you want to get from Bayonne to Yonkers, you're going to have to go through the central hub of Manhattan, just like if you want to get from Garching to Unterschleißheim, you're going to have to go through the central hub of Munich.

This is just the nature of public transit outside city centers: they will have a hub-and-spokes shape. That's because this shape suits the needs of pretty much everybody: travel from one spoke to another is way less common than travel to and from the center, and if you really need that route and can't afford the time of going through the hub, most metros cover the concentric routes it with lighter options (like two-digit NJTransit busses and the Hudson-Bergen light rail).

The corner cases of suburb-to-suburb trips and short distance vacations aren't important enough to necessitate complete infrastructure capitulation to drivers.

And for the vast majority of New Yorkers, a car isn't necessary. Car ownership is around 45% in New York City, and that number goes way down if you exclude Staten Island and the outer parts of Queens and Brooklyn that don't get subway service.
Yeah. My grandfather passed at the beginning of this year at the age of 94. He fought in World War 2 in Italy (landed in Anzio), lost one of his fingers in the war, and earned a Purple Heart, along with several other medals. We don't have too many more years to go before we no longer have anyone alive who fought in that war to get direct experiences from.

He was also on the cover of Life on their March 27, 1944 issue. He's the third one back getting off the ship: https://thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images1/1/0816/15/wwii-li...

"Every day, memories of World War II—its sights and sounds, its terrors and triumphs—disappear. Yielding to the inalterable process of aging, the men and women who fought and won the great conflict are now in their late 80s and 90s. They are dying quickly—according to US Department of Veterans Affairs statistics, 496,777 of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II are alive in 2018."

And 348 are dying each day, or about 127,000 a year. Looks like we have about 10 more years at the most before they're all gone. (Obviously this is US centric, I'm not sure what the global numbers are, also the 10 years is based on the provided graph in the link. The numbers they provided suggest they'll all be dead in about 4 more years).

Hi All,

I posted this here because I think it's great there's some effort being put into free training in this region.

I do however agree with some of the comments here. I had been hunting for something like this to use as our own training, but it won't be this because I don't agree with the TripIt example.

Edit: Maybe there should be a "maybe" or "consider" answer. "This is a legitimate company. However, their desire to access your email is something you should carefully consider".
Their Q3 2018 stats had a bit of info on the lifecycle of introducing new disks:

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/2018-hard-drive-failure-rates...

> In Q3 we added 79 HGST 12TB drives (model: HUH721212ALN604) to the farm. While 79 may seem like an unusual number of drives to add, it represents “stage 2” of our drive testing process. Stage 1 uses 20 drives, the number of hard drives in one Backblaze Vault tome. That is, there are are 20 Storage Pods in a Backblaze Vault, and there is one “test” drive in each Storage Pod. This allows us to compare the performance, etc., of the test tome to the remaining 59 production tomes (which are running already-qualified drives). There are 60 tomes in each Backblaze Vault. In stage 2, we fill an entire Storage Pod with the test drives, adding 59 test drives to the one currently being tested in one of the 20 Storage Pods in a Backblaze Vault.
