> The fact that a random stranger is able to push a change and get it reviewed, approved, merged, and available in minutes should be the goal of most open source projects

> On the contrary, older projects tend to be too reactionary when it comes to infrastructure tools, so in turn they get very slow interactions

Well said.

'Open source' doesn't say anything about infrastructure. But it's just as important.
My first job out of College University had me relocating around the USA about every 9-12 months for about 4 years. Not constant travel, constant relocation. Living out of luggage got bad and sad real quick; I stayed in much too long. Saying "I'm done with this" once I got to California turned out to be good; now, I've lived in the same location for longer than I have since graduating College University and I honestly can't complain. I still compulsively keep boxes because of the bad habits I picked up from continuous relocation... but at this point is a separate issue.

Yes, California rent ever up and on toward morning. Yes, NIMBYs are ever up and on toward morning. Yes, all of the other "Ever Bad Stuff" the same. I don't know where my new next breaking point is, but when it's there I'll find it and I'll act on it; I'm trying really hard to get started on that now, but factors are making that difficult.

My Point: The simple fact of moving to California is not necessarily vindictive of "everyone who does this is going to move around the globe for giggles as suggested or implied". Maybe I wanted California as a destination. Maybe you wanted California as a way-station. Maybe someone born in California wants to stay here ... or move out ... and/or move back eventually.

I have a doubt regarding "You move to California, You'll move anywhere".
It's definitely more a thing for smaller companies.
Yep - I agree with the increased dense housing is needed (although I would also argue that with this construction infrastructure / public transit comes for the ride or it is a failure too), but it seems that one of the stop gaps is to promote /incentive remote at companies...
I wonder if this trend will inspire more people to look into DIY recycling. Plastics are pretty easy to melt down and reuse, if you know what sort of plastic you are working with.

You should research the types of recycleable plastics and how they are marked[0] - some types can release toxic fumes which are bad for both you and the planet. I've heard you can develop allergies to plastics from breathing some of the nastier fumes, and while that may be an urban legend I would definitely advise caution.

Still, HDPE and LDPE seem fairly safe and easy to recycle without adding things like plasticisers, and HDPE bricks make for great CNC stock.

You know wildcard is not working two levels down, you are getting .yourdomain.com but not .*.yourdomain.com.

But yea maybe parent poster could consider scheme: git-internal.yourdomain.com.
conscious and unconscious have no discrete definitions. They are fuzzy concepts. Separation of those concepts would require an interface between them. Now you've got three states to your fuzzy system. At some level of granularity, the model might be accurate. But going one level above a single blob is already an achievement.
Policing and laws often treat symptoms and not the "root" cause. Financial laws addressing fraud don't try and solve the underlying human greed yet they are valuable in trying to the protect victims of fraud.

Saying we can only solve fraud by addressing the underlying socitial reasons driving people to commit fraud would be crazy. The symptoms can be dealt with it can and make a difference while also working on other causal factors.

It doesn't have to deal directly with the "causal issue". It just has to reduce the negative effect.
I also wonder if the fact that Boeing is a US company has anything to do with it. If this was an Airbus would the US have required grounding of the planes? I believe your point about if it happened in the US they would still have been grounded but perhaps if it wasn't a US company they would have pushed for grounding to be safe even if it did not occur in the US.
Probably not the best example. You still can't steal trade secrets and can still have NDAs.
> using historical events to justify political resentments that are very current and very local

There is no lack of continuity though. In 1609 the English stole land from Irish people during the plantation of Ulster. In 2019, the six counties vote to stay in the EU, but the Monarch's parliament across the sea decides otherwise. A garrison of the occupation troops remain in the Thiepval barracks.

Six county Brexit (against the will of six county voters) and the Thiepval barracks are a sign of a continuity that is very current but unfortunately not very local.
> The most dense cities in the world: Hong Kong, Singapore, even New York City should be the go to locations for tech, but they're not.

Those places have COL problems as bad or worse than the Bay Area. At least Singapore (and to a lesser extent HK) deals with it via lots of public subsidized housing.
There's no way to prove that the photographed ballot is the one cast. The voter could have thrown that one away and cast another.

To further inculcate the importance of the matter, taking pictures is usually prohibited inside the polling station.
Independent contractors can contribute up to $43k to a solo-401k.
Disposable or in theory 'recycleable' plastic bottles are probably not the best option but yeah refillable 5 gallon drinking water bottles aren't a bad idea. We use them in order to get reverse osmosis filtered water from the grocery store because the water generally tastes better than tap. Even separate carbon based water filters are useful to clean tap water to a higher standard. Getting people better tasting water would probably also help people avoid drinking sugar-based soft drinks or single-user disposable water bottles.
Many riders believe that loud
pipes make them safer

I've always been sceptical of how earnestly anyone believes this, because I've never seen anyone with loud pipes dressed [1] to attract motorists' attention visually.

> Why don’t residents want new housing? A mistaken belief that blocking new housing will preserve their city.

It isn't a mistaken belief. If you got in early and own property in a place like SF then rising prices are going to be adding money to your retirement account.

Any real solution (build, build, build!) to the housing market in a place like SF would destroy a lot of value for a lot of people. Most of those people are middle-class, and the money they've stuffed in their bricks is their single biggest investment.

Of course if it all comes crashing down they'll also lose, but right now that's looking a whole lot less likely than them being able to keep riding housing bubble gravy train.
Didn't TouchStream buy up all this IP in multiple ways then get bought by Apple?

I still have a functional touchstream and it's a fantastic device. The drivers even still sort work on Linux.
Based in Colorado. Just wondering if you could expand on this.

Seems like what you are saying is no startups in Montana ever get exits - personally I think that's because startups seeking an exit end of moving to The Bay Area because of all the factors being mentioned here.
> Why don’t residents want new housing?

Also people who own houses want the cost of houses to be high.
It's not about your life being the consequences. It's about you not as soon as you moved out of South Boston being the butt of jokes etc.

And the Troubles are much nearer in time than the famine. There is a continuity of conflict you haven't had in South Boston compared to what was going on in Ireland.

(Besides, not wanting to single you out, but I'm sure we could find many prevalent unhealthy resentments present in Americans in general, rooted in historical events.)
I'm not sure about that. Each time I see someone with those things I tend to assume they're in debt than in credit. My gf's dad complains about his debt then spends his money on Bose sound and yells at his kids for taking up all the money.

I really just straight up don't trust people who value these and I also don't feel like making a human connection to them either. If I see someone in a bespoke suit and wearing it properly, I nod my head.

It feels almost like seeing a good beard. You wouldn't buy a Gucci beard to be put on like a fake mustache. You'd have to groom it and take care of it on your own for months. Apologies for the odd comparison but it's needed to add a deeper contrast.

"Luxury" goods shouldn't be a sign of status as they're often toxic. Buy what you think actually does the job and solves the problem.
I'm not talking about prebuilt binary libraries, much less DLLs. I'm comparing it to just dropping an .h and a .cpp file directly into your project. This one requires dropping an .h file, and then either adding a .cpp file (which you have to write manually, even if it's just one line of code), or adding an implementation #include to one of the existing .cpp files.

I guess my point is that I just don't see the benefit of concatenation here.
If both are very small, then why wouldn't some other factor like minor convenience wash out the minor safety concern? I don't know about you, but I pick my flights by airline, time, and price. I wouldn't degrade any of those for a very small increase in safety.
I don’t know if this is correct, but here is my theory;

Container ships have to make the voyage from the US back to China, why do it empty? They need massive tonnage to bring back, and the US just doesn’t export enough into China so let’s carry recycling? (This assumes the ships that bring X from China to the US can bring Y from the US back to Chine without expensive reconfiguration, and perhaps also that the ports of entry are reasonably close?)

Also, the amount of money that China was willing to pay for the material (or be paid for taking the material) was so outside the market price as to essentially be “dumping” (economically speaking) their recycling waste capture product on the US. In the presence of Chinese dumping no US facility could fairly exist in the market, so they all shut down. Now that the Chinese economic dumping had ceased, the US is left without a functioning market.

Yes, it pleases me to no end to frame the problem of US recycling as China dumping. No, I haven’t been able to determine if there is any factual basis to this hypothesis!

I was working in HFT myself, though in Europe, and I asked around about this. Specifically WTF do they do with this line from Chicago to New York that's so insanely important?

The US market has this interesting phenomenon that the futures trade in Chicago, but the single stocks trade in New York. For those who are not familiar, this means you can make a bet on the S&P 500 index as a whole in Chicago by buying or selling futures. But if you wanted to replicate the basket, you would go to New York.

Naturally there's a relationship between the two. If the futures are going down, the prices of all the stocks needs to be adjusted. And if you look at stock prices, it turns out quite a lot of any stock price is simply exposure to the market at large. So you really want to know as soon as possible if the market is moving.

Now you might have thought that the index is the index of shares, which is in NYC, so why does it matter what Chicago thinks? Well actually the tail wags the dog in this case. The futures are how people express a view on which way the index is going, and you want to know that view immediately.

How does it actually work? Variants on "if the market goes down, pull all your bid orders". Basically if things are fine you are happy to look at queue position and imbalance as an indicator of whether you want to leave orders to capture spread with. But the moment there's an indication from Chicago that the market is dipping, you forget that and pull your orders. Or if you're really fast dump a sell order on the guy behind you in the queue.

There's a huge amount of stock trading in NY each day, so it's worth your while to have this line that you use to send the warnings down.
I like the analogy, but it slightly suggests that you're always powerless along the way and that the debt is inevitable. I think there _is_ a technique that is possible in a lot of situations: not putting in abstractions/complexity that don't really do any of transformation/transfer required of the underlying requirements.

The reason why this is often possible, is that it's _less_ work to start with compared to adding in the layers...

... and then when unexpected requirements turn up, there is less complexity to deal with, there are fewer layers to work/hack around, and refactoring those that _are_ there to be more suitable to the current set of requirements is often easier, and so more likely to fit into time constraints.

I like to think of it as:

> Just about everything is cheaper than the wrong abstraction

(With a clear nod to Sandi Metz)
> If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going

No one actually says that. Even Boeing itself, when arranging corporate travel for employees, picks whatever flight is available with reasonable airfare regardless of aircraft type.

With the recent (and by recent I mean since 1991) opening of the Indian economy, there has been a cultural shift in the Indian mindset.

It might surprise you but leaving India for education or employment is actually pretty commonplace and is not actually in conflict with the picture I have painted of India.

However, India hasn't been as successful as China in rapid development without it affecting cultural values. China has pretty swiftly achieved modernization without westernization which I think was one of the sub-goals of it's architect: Deng Xiaoping who laid the foundations of the same in the 1980's.

Our equivalent of Deng was unfortunately only a brilliant economist, so his 1991 reforms were limited to economic reforms with no social safeguards to help avoid Westernization.

As such, India right now is in a massive state of flux. There are Indians abroad similar to the one's you had met who have siezed the opportunity given to them to massively elevate their quality of life. There are also Indian's abroad who left the country with a very specific goal of either: 1) bringing their family in the next decade or so or 2) secure enough money for an early retirement and return to India.

It really comes down to the type of mindset their parents valued, not the country they were born/raised in.
> Crucial questions about how to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic — a border abolished in the Good Friday Agreement, the reintroduction of which would be inextricably associated with the preceding decades of violence and unrest — remain unresolved, months before Brexit is slated to become official.

It's interesting how this has taken hold and is not really questioned. There has in fact never been (apart from a brief period in World War II) a border requiring a passport between Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Neither did the Good Friday agreement 'abolish' the customs border in any meaningful way. The Good Friday argument has very little to say on the subject of borders in fact - the customs barriers that there were on the island were in fact abolished in 1993 as part of the common market reforms.

Given that all sides have committed not to re-establish a hard border even in the event of a no deal, it's difficult to see how it would threaten the peace process to the extent that is being made out.
Investing in a bubble can be great, as long as you're early enough and not the one holding the bag a† the end.

It's one of the quickest and easiest ways to make money, actually. I wouldn't always call investing into a bubble foolish.
With respect I suggest that this comment is borne of a similar lack of familiarity that 'the English' are acccused of in the article.

As an English person in England I can only agree. The lack of knowledge about the situation in Ireland, current and historical, is abysmal. I doubt many young people even know about the bombings in their own country, let alone what led to it.

The question of the border in Ireland and what will happen when the UK leaves the EU has been kicked around as political football with very little regard given to the human consequences. Politicians have taken their cue from public apathy and committed some really egregious intellectual dishonesties.

It's all so shameful.
> Brexit and the Irish border is almost impossible to solve.

One way it could be solved is for the UK to stay in the EU. Then no hard border would be needed. I wonder if they actually considered that in London.
Is tech debt subjective? I've worked on different teams that call anything from wrong grammar in comments to incorrect capitalization of a var name tech debt. Wondering if it follows that more code = more debt because more people have opportunities to disagree about how something was done.

Asking for a friend.
> They worry that a lack of familiarity with a topic, or an unthinking word choice

What topic? What word choice?

My point stands.
I have always what it is about places with a mediterranean climate that causes some sort of renaissance mindset to form there - Greece (well at least a while ago), Roman empire, Italian renaissance, Silicon Valley....

[Just to avoid a sad thread next year:]

How are you going to split the equity? Do you have that number in written? Vesting?
I think you have it the wrong way around. This actually improves voter representation. It's now a lot easier for people with disabilities, the elderly, etc to cast a vote — they don't have to organize transport, they can just vote from home. Getting people to actually go to the polling stations and cast a vote is something that all democracies struggle with to a certain extent, this helps alleviate that issue.
> there is a ton of documentation on creating packages but which 300 page guide is the right one to use is unclear

So true. There seems like there are competing packaging approaches, some claiming others are outdated while themselves say the opposite.

I've been willing to package a few of my open-source projects as well for almost a year, and out of frustration, I've ended up building my .deb packages manually and hosting them on my own apt repository. In the meantime, I've published a few packages on PPAs (for Ubuntu) and on AUR (for ArchLinux), and it's been as easy as it could have been.

Given I use Debian exclusively on my servers, it feels like a missed opportunity to me (not that I think my own projects are so much valuable to others, but I'd package a lot more stuff if it was clear how to do it well).
And unlike most distros which were around back then, Debian is still here today, so it must be good for something.

That said, I agree anything Debian (and thus Ubuntu too) and FSF feels awkwardly baroque to work with these days.

Old email-based systems, bickering over politics and minor issues rather than the subject at hand, for weeks or months... and no standard CI?!?

With all that I too find myself spending my time contributing elsewhere.

Stackless vs. Stackful Coroutines
That's just silly. 2 million people?

People have been moving to and from Ireland and Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK forever. Drawing imaginary lines and labelling people is silly, but asking families move out of their homes? We may as well say the same for non-native Americans ... again such a silly idea that it may as well come from a pre-school student.
The real issue IMO is that the battery powered yard tools are infected by the same planned obsolescence as existing power tools. Most gas-powered yard tools last damn near forever even if you don't do maintenance on them. The battery powered ones are good for three years and then you're buying a new one. If you're lucky they still make the battery, but it costs as much a whole new tool.

Wish we could standardize modern rechargeable batteries the same way we did with old lead acid models.
>It's not recycling, it's just garbage, but the word recycling makes us feel good about sending it to some other country to be dumped.

I've worked at a recycling plant so I know that it's different than the old landfills. But we just separated parts, components and fabrics out of various items. Never saw where they ended up.
You're saying tech debt is a business strategy problem?
> Everyone pays because everyone should pay.

But if everyone pays the same you just conceded the entire victory to adverse selection: people that do not participate in a risk pays for the risk in someone else. The most obvious demonstration of this effect is double-paying in countries that have both private and public healthcare services: you pay twice, once for the public you don't use, and then for the private one.
Sounds a lot like fingerworks who had a similar product on the market I think about 14years ago or so. As I remember it they got snatched up by Apple and ditched the product. I always wished they’d release a slightly better touchpad tech version of it, at a more reasonable price point.
I think there were some ideas on proof of work or alternatives that could use random number available at the same moment for all participants. Unfortunately, it seems that numbers generated by this could be influenced by USA.

Because after paying local expenses, you're left with more money to buy things that aren't priced according to the local market. Same reason it's worthwhile living in a rich country versus a poor one. I pay far more in rent and for food than someone in, say, Ethiopia, but what remains allows me to purchase more things anyway.
I guess that it will move now sadly to other poor countries in the far East or Africa

> Airbus is a super new company.

Not really sure what you're on about - Airbus' passenger jets started only a decade after McDonnell Douglas and Boeing's. A300 flew around 1970. DC-8 flew around 1960, same as the Boeing 707.

Th grandfathers of some people on this site would have been flying on Airbus.
