From the article:

> In statues intended to show human beings making offerings to gods, the left arm—most commonly used to make offerings—is cut off so the statue’s function can’t be performed (the right hand is often found axed in statues receiving offerings).

So they do actually mention the right arm as well.
It's not just trucks, though. He gives a lot of examples, some of which are observable today. Like a lot of work done by paralegals and junior lawyers is just research - plowing through books and writing summaries and references. It's slow, tedious, and error-prone. A computer can do it much faster and better. How about reading x-rays? Train an AI by having it review the results from millions of other x-rays. That's a lot of radiologists whose work is replaceable.

And that's really Yang's point. It's not just truck drivers. Any job that is basically rote work - even jobs requiring a high level of education and professional certification - is vulnerable to advances in AI and robotics. If your work isn't essentially creative, there's a good chance that it could be done cheaper, faster, and better by a robot at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Rebase is not dangerous. It can't be, since it only works on the local repo.

It's non-fast-forward pushes that are dangerous. And they're dangerous whether anyone uses rebase or not.
What if you decide to implement a new feature/big refactoring and don't finish it for some reason? This is where feature branches shine, you can just switch back to master and start working on something else.
The bad feeling I have with this is that we haven't learnt a thing and will come to regret this in a few decades.

> Email only is simply not reliable enough.

That is because implementations, especially gmail, ignore the specifications: (EDIT) there are specific error codes and messages should be sent back to the originator. The reasons to ignore it is, in theory, not to give spammers ideas how to avoid it.

Email is incredibly reliable, it can tolerate outages, configuration errors, delays, etc, by specification, but ever since "modern" spam filtering, gmail (and those who follow their practices) it became a nightmare, because everyone ignores how it _should_ work. It was done in a time when connections were slow and prone to errors; it had to be flexible.

Yes, I know spam was bad I was there. But I'd rather have spam, than actually important mails getting dropped because of false positive, paranoid spamfilters.
This combination of behaviors has long been the key to me hating gmail. I can't begin to estimate the number of messages I've missed because of how gmail handles threads.

You should never have been sending mail from noreply@ in the first place. Every message needs to be send from a real mailbox that can receive a reply that will be read by a person. If the message isn’t important enough for that, then it is spam and Gmail was doing the correct thing with it.

That's because most users don't actually need the distributed part of git. For most projects the sanest solution is to have a single master repository that all users pull/push from/to.

IMHO the only real advantages over SVN for most users are the better branch/merge functions.

My first thought was that they had no idea it was a fox and were just trying to kill something. The reason poultry feed has to be scattered over a wide area is that they will peck through other chickens, killing them in the process, before turning and eating from an open spot if they feel they need to compete for food. Turkeys are worse than chickens. An amish turkey farmer once told me that if you leave a bucket of feed with the turkeys you’ll end up with a bucket of dead, half-eaten turkeys and all of the feed you started with.
I'm in the exact same boat. 5+ years of startup after dropping out and looking for a sales position. Hang in there.

Haskell and lisp are like that for sure, but more blue collar FP languages like erlang ate "basically FP so that you get memory safety and easy multithreading".
To be fair there are others that have been pushing the needle in this space for considerable time. The standout for me is https://snips.ai Offline, multiple platforms, multiple languages, many parts open source and more oss parts in the pipeline. While certainly not currently aimed at dictation, but instead assistant building and automation. In this space on device speed, privacy & offline are critical. In the case of Snips "piss poor" falls short from the reality of what I have experienced YMMV.

Actually, it’s “hawking”!

To hock something is to pawn it, i.e. sell it because you need the money (and possibly plan to buy it back later):

In the UK most new cars are bought on personal lease plans, fairly short and the cost is dependent on the resale value of the car at the end of the lease.
You're confused about open source software and security.

If a business is using proprietary software that is found to have critical security bugs, they are 100% beholden to the vendor to get a fix. The vendor may decide to not fix that bug.

With free software, when (not if) a bug is found, the user has the right to fix the software.

While 'open source' might not be inherently 'more safe' than proprietary code (which we can't audit, so unlikely to be safe), it's inherently more safe due to the fact that the end user might actually be able to fix it, if required.
There are 2 things I dispute here:

1. I didn't say this affects branch diffing, but rather trawling through history on a single branch.

2. "self-appointed super-users [...] [who break everything]" is a strawman and borderline ad-hominem. If you follow the guidelines I put forth, there won't be any issues collaborating with others.

Also, as a general note, it's actually very difficult to completely destroy information that's been committed at some point. If you're really running into issues with this, don't let fear direct you away from enjoying the greatest features of git. Experiment! Keep trying. Read a good git book (https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2). And learn to use the reflog. Everything you've committed is backed up for a long time even if you've removed all named references to those commits.

They weren't "giving houses away for $1". They were requiring people to assume the liabilities related to code and zoning compliance, along with a remediation schedule, in order to take ownership. And those expenses couldn't be paid by a mortgage loan; the city had to issue its own loans.

Typical monthly payment was $300/month, and they had a low default rate, so it was still a decent deal. But it wasn't just $1.

House flipping is a career for some people. Every last one of them look at probable resale value after remodel in comparison to expenses required to reach marketable condition. No flipper would do $100k of work on a house when the neighboring properties simply don't sell at any price, and tend to remain vacant after foreclosure.

And that's the "location" factor talking. I don't know if it's the first, second, or third "location" in the list, but if a city culture or city government sucks, people and businesses don't want to move there.

I have seen it in every city I have lived in. The local government takes ever-increasing amounts of your money, and digs entirely separate holes to throw that money into, rather than any of the naturally-forming potholes on every street that isn't part of some councilman's route to city hall. The governance that worked with steadily increasing population doesn't work with stagnant or decreasing population.

At some point, a declining city needs to de-annex some of its former territory and prune its own deadwood. And it needs to fire its municipal employees that are not absolutely essential to keeping the city infrastructure running. Some shut down their city police and fire departments, reverting to sheriff's deputies and volunteer firefighters, who may even operate out of the same buildings. But the problem is the politics. Admitting the city is insolvent and promising to cut some services to save the rest doesn't get you re-elected when your opponent simply denies the problem exists and lies about the city's condition to make people feel better about still living in it.
New Google Program Applies Technical Writers to Open Source Documentation

In earnest, I owe a lot to factorio, I started playing it towards the beginning of my programming career, and I was in a rough way, I could solve all the little toy problems my professors would throw at me, but the second there was anything big, I fell apart.

The fact of the matter is I was always doing everything in main, I had never really used functions for anything, I thought they were useless/extra work! And I eventually just had a moment playing factorio, looking at someone else's blueprint , and how neat and self contained it was, and how it had its organized and clear inputs and outputs... and it all just clicked. I'm much better at structuring my projects now and have very much become more function-centric in my work (I am actually currently falling for the clojure meme pretty heavily atm).
I'm surprised that the article didn't mention another popular theory: that many of the Egyptian statues taken by Europeans had their noses deliberately broken to obscure their blackness.

As the theory goes, in order to make the statues seem like high art, it was necessary to make the culture seem more like the ancient Greeks and Romans. Removing their noses made it so the viewer could more easily read the statues as "like us," rather than the "primitive" countries of black people that Europe was busy exploiting.
Seeing all the comments here it seems like Arango is a good fit for many use cases.

I would really recommend to the founders of the company to invest in marketing , it’s really important for developers to have something that speak to them.

My point is maybe the issue here isn’t performance of features of the database but rather the marketing that prevent it from finding its market fit.
I've learned long ago that there are no real failures in life.

Only various paths with different outcomes.
Some outcomes are negative, some might yield a positive result but in almost all cases, it's a win/win.

You should see your situation not as a failure but an huge accomplishment, you've gained ton of experience, dealt with many issues outside of your scope and have grown. Running a startup for 7 years shows serious dedication .

I will echoe what others have said, just take some time to rest if you can afford it and brush up on whatever skills deemed necessary.

Congratulations on sticking with it for so many years!

We kind of don't have a word for "art" either.

Historically/etymologically, art means "skilled work" or just "stuff made by people" (as in artifact). The word/concept seems to have evolved gradually to its current meaning with all its complex connotations of beauty, metaphorical depth and existing for its own sake.

Even early modern and Renaissance art was probably seen differently to how we see it. A lot of the best statues and paintings had religious purposes, kind of like Egyptians.

The community I live in has a chicken coop - our first small batch was decimated by a single fox, one a single night, when the door was left open. It took only one chicken back to eat but it killed 6 others - 6 docile, happy chickens. That's what foxes (normally) do to chicken coops.

Is there any credible doubt that electric cars are the future?

We can quibble about timing, regulatory vs customer preference factors, models, etc. but it's clear from all the data I've seen that EVs (and specifically plug in EVs) are growing at a fast clip and are on the way to becoming mainstream and unremarkable within the next decade or two.

If you were a big auto company, what wouldn't you spend to not lose out on that wave? I look at other industries where fundamental underlying technology changes remade the landscape: the switch to mobile phones, internet penetration, etc.

There is a sense in which this is pretty cool... even very cool. And I'm all for anything that makes scientific / data-oriented analysis and exploration more accessible.

But on the other hand, I remain unsure that it makes sense to continually try to push everything into the browser. Take:

Iodide documents live in the browser, which means the computation engine is always available. Whenever you share your work, you share a live interactive report with running code. Moreover, since the computation happens in the browser alongside the presentation, there is no need to call a language backend in another process. This means that interactive documents update in real-time, opening up the possibility of seamless 3D visualizations, even with the low-latency and high frame-rate required for VR.

I mean, yeah, OK, there are aspects of this that make sense. But there are always tradeoffs. Take, for example this point: "there is no need to call a language backend in another process". This also means that you're limited to the processing power available on your local machine, which is - BTW, being shared among everything running on your computer.

I'm not saying that Iodide is bad, mind you. But it - like any other tool - may not be appropriate for everything. As a corollary to that, I think it might be a fun experiment to see what it would take to provide an ability to move the computationally expensive parts between the local computer and a remote $BEEFY_HOST in a seamless way.

I encourage efforts like this. Far too many sites pour their data into Google Analytics, giving Google far too much information about our browsing. In my opinion, even logging the IP addresses of visitors is risky with laws like the GDPR coming into force.

Yeah, that little quirk is both a blessing and a curse, because while it does make it harder to judge the actual number of VR-equipped systems, it also makes the numbers more representative of _active_ VR users rather than just users who _have_ a headset but don't often use it.

If you're trying to judge the size of the market in absolute numbers, you also have to account for the fact that this survey only measures _Steam_ users. So Rift users who don't use Steam, and owners of non-PC VR headsets like PSVR aren't included.

>Who gets sued when one of Elon's driverless trucks plows into a school bus? Surely not the "trucking company"?

Actually, yes, the trucking company gets sued. This is pretty well established. If your Toyota malfunctions and you hit someone, you get sued. You may sue Toyota afterwards, but you're going to get sued first.

This has literally happened before. It's not a what if. Toyota recalled thousands of trucks about 3 months ago because of a braking issue. I fail to see the difference between this and car insurance of the future.

Even if insurance were the issue, it's fairly easy to solve; in the contract you sign to use an automated vehicle, you'd assume liability.
