> what else would you live for

What do you need to live "for" something? I haven't yet reached retirement so it's pure speculation, but I suspect having no obligations and just hanging is pretty good. Maybe not great, but to me it looks better than the world of work for pay.

BTW I looks to me that my view is in the majority - I don't have the data, but I think that the majority of people just stop working after they reach retirement - i.e. they stop paid work as soon as they can (which means that doing nothing is better than work for them).
That's the main campus but part of the concept is for it to be distributed over most of the Northern part of the country, including, as the name suggests, the islands:

Medical records on the blockchain – the history of a bad idea
While this list isn't the best and some reasons are a bit silly, I'm happy to see more content that helps inform regular users about the downsides of these practices. Paying to give a company your DNA is absurd. As I stated on this two weeks ago:

I will be waiting until I can analyze my DNA myself, without handing it over to a company that is going to do whatever it wants to with it. We are not yet able to fully appreciate how valuable DNA is, and yet everyone seems delighted to pay companies to take it from them.

Perhaps they will be less delighted when they are convicted of a crime based off of a false positive, have their DNA shared with Facebook to Improve Their User Experience ™, or have their DNA made public after yet another security breach where it is left on an unsecured server.

Remember that your DNA is very valuable, literally. Those who have noticed recent progress in genomics should realize how valuable it would be to a competent advertising company, allowing them to profile and predict users with significantly higher personal accuracy, even if all they are doing is performing basic GWASs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome-wide_association_study).
I know you're already doing well as far as the phone aspect is concerned, but I wanted to add a phone-related suggestion here anyway, because your post is very much in that vein.

I disagree. tzs keeps trying to pin me down to disagreeing with "Democrats want the vote to be solid and the evilnasty Republicans keep stopping them", but the point I want to make is that the theory that parties act in their interest is far more explanatory than the theory that the parties act in accordance with their stated principles. (Stated principles are of some modest help in determining why the parties are made up of the specific interests they are, but it's far from determinative.) Do the Democrats believe that any of the measures that tzs defends is going to increase Republican voting, and they are pursuing them even so? That would be relevant. Give me some evidence of that and I'll admit at the very least a rare admission against interest, and at most that I'm wrong about this. But I don't believe it to be true. I'm pretty sure they think that if they get those things, they'll get more Democrat votes.

How exactly Democrats defend their position for policies that will result in Democratic voting power isn't that relevant for my point.

That's not true at all. There have been dozens of publications using that data and they have been instrumental in progressing our knowledge of genetic associations.

I have personally used 23andMe's array based data and resulting associations to investigate disease. It is priceless and hugely beneficial.
We do Erlang and C++ for CUDA programming where I am. It would be nearly impossible for us to write good code for what we do in, say PHP, or even Java.

Agreed, I quickly found I didn't fit into the FAANG or California startup culture as it seemed to attract lots of, what I would consider, very preppy, overly positive, outgoing people. Definitely nothing wrong with that, but those aren't the kind of people I generally form strong bonds with. I've found Seattle to be a much better fit
This hasn't really been my experience dealing with SV companies in Montreal.. They adjust the salary based on COL so your chances of making a USD equivalent is fairly low
Agree. I think more accurately it took a competitor doing it and showing the cars were desirable. No Tesla, no Rivian, no Ford investment in Rivian, no iPace, no eTron, etc. AT least IMO.
Rein in the Four Horsemen of Irreproducibility
Are we mistaking a dependency control problem as a revision control problem?

In a previous life, before microservices, CI/CD etc. existed, we did just fine with 20-30 CVS repositories, each representing a separate component (a running process) in a very large distributed system.

The only difference was that we did not have to marshal a large number of 3rd party dependencies that were constantly undergoing version changes. We basically relied on C++, the standard template library and a tightly version controlled set of internal libraries with a single stable version shared across the entire org. The whole system would have been between 750,000 - 1,000,000 lines of code (libraries included).

I'm not saying that that's the right approach. But it's mind boggling for me that we can't solve this problem easily anymore.
Austria, Germany and certainly others in the West are looking to completely outlaw online anonymity. That sounds neither focused nor limited to me.
The source control system is not the piece of the equation that matters to most people. The build system is the important part. That's what prevents you from rebuilding the repository when you only change one Kubernetes config file, or what causes 100 docker images to be built because you changed a file in libc.

I think the tooling around this is fairly limited right now. I feel that most people are hoping docker caches stuff intelligently, which it doesn't. People should probably be using Bazel, but language support is hit-or-miss and it's very complicated. (It's aggravated by the fact that every language now considers itself responsible for building its own code. go "just works", which is great, but it's hard to translate that local caching to something that can be spread among multiple build workers. Bazel attempts to make all that work, but it basically has to start from scratch, which is unfortunate. It also means that you can't just start using some crazy new language unless you want to now support it in the build system. We all hate Makefiles, but the whole "foo.c becomes foo.o" model was much more straightforward than what languages do today.)
One of the main assumptions in cryptography is "if I can recover one bit of the private key, I can probably recover all of them." This is just a manifestation of that well-founded assumption.
So your entire takeaway from this article is that because Fortnite was so successful, Polygon's writing a hit piece on Epic?

I find that assertion far more remarkable.
McDonald’s Turns Up the Pressure on Uber Ahead of Its IPO
Hmm, touché :)

I think a restaurant is different though because that is explicitly how it works (eat first then pay).

To take your comparison further, what would happen if you sat down in a grocery store and started consuming hundreds of dollars worth of food and drink? I think it would raise a lot of eyebrows, and the employees would probably confront you. So there is a difference.

Furthermore, in a restaurant you place an order and they serve you, and from a legal perspective (IANAL) there might be something about some sort of implicit contract that you will pay them. Whereas with a grocery store you are not allowed to remove the items from the store until you've paid for them. And I feel like consuming the items inside of the store is sort of analogous to removing them from the store.
It made so few flights in those 30 years that this is irrelevant. That one crash gave it the worst fatality rate in the industry, by far, just because the denominator was small.

It was. And then all work has stopped on it, right?
The fact that is was, and is, an incredibly clean and consistent scripting language with many of the best features of Smalltalk and Lisp that competing scripting languages like Perl and Python ignored. I started with Ruby circa 2001 thanks to the Pragmatic Programmer himself, Dave Thomas' "Pickaxe" book, and have yet to write even a single Web app (not my thing; I'm a computational biologist).
Sure, but manual upgrades with `tar'ring userspace, copying kernel and removing files seems abysmally error-prone to me.

> H2 is dangerously explosive.

Does it matter for an unmanned vehicle? Such a thing could be inflated at a safe distance. In some cases, being able to self destruct is a safety benefit (to prevent crashes when control is lost) and a security benefit (to prevent analysis of captured aircraft). Particularly UAVs are popular in military / spying operations.
I just mean that I haven't seen any footage of a Rivian actually being used or doing what they say.

There are marketing videos but for all I know that's an F-150 with a new skin.

You would assume if they really had something with 410 mile range they would have a journalist come and do some long drive, I.E. Tesla going from LA->SF two days ago.

Or showing off it's acceleration. I really don't think they have even a single working truck that does what they say it does yet. Not to say they're a fraud, just that they're not there yet.
One thing about GitLab tooling is that they have features that apply only on a per-repo basis, for example GitLab CI.

Suppose for example we have 2 distinct projects - a backend and frontend, which each have their own testing and deployment strategy. GitLab CI only allows one CI pipeline config per-repository. While we could take care of that with scripting, that can easily get out of hand as we increas the number of distinct "projects", if we wanted to maintain a monorepo. So the tooling encourages us to have separate repos.

However if we do that, since we don't have that convenient single commit hash that a monorepo gives us, then we don't have a good way to ensure that the deployments between projects are synced up, and rollbacks are far more complicated.

Its a contrived example (for instance we could switch to a different CI system and mitigate this issue), but it seems to me that whatever an organization chooses, mono- or poly-repo, they have to build complicated custom configurations and tooling to get over whatever tradeoffs their decision has. And as the number of logical projects (repos, submodules, etc.) and the commit rate increases, then the tooling has to increase in complexity to handle issues of scale.

So I guess the open question is, is there a way we can somehow have both without spending a bunch of engineering cycles writing custom configs and tools?
Funny you say that. I can see your perspective but at the same time the beauty of Unix is that the OS is really just a bunch of files you can see and manipulate yourself. The system doesn’t have convoluted registry systems for instance to hold state.

So for me, deleting a few files is as good as or better than asking a package manager to do it. It proves to me that the OS is simple.

I think we have become so accustomed to complexity that now we often seek it because the simple way “couldn’t possibly be right?”
Ah, I remember my first live game, where you think we'll just crunch for this release, it'll be fine. Then the next release comes and because you were crunching on the other it comes out half baked, so you crunch again and again and before you know it half the team that made it happen is gone and no one wants to work there. You see this mentality in a lot of mobile studios that we're started by ex-AAA employees. Hopefully they learn that you can't crunch a live game or you'll never stop crunching. Single release games eventually ended, a good live game can go on for a very long time. The next generation of mobile studios knew that and ended up having a very good policy of no over time... Well some did

Well, if they had been reading one single article they found online, and just reading it aloud and making jokes about it, I might accept (though still be annoyed by) the "oops we forgot to attribute" defense. But if you look at what The Dollop actually did, they took 5-6 paragraphs from one article, 7-8 paragraphs from another article, a few solitary paragraphs from others, and just glued it all together and never said a word about where the text came from. Cribbing segments from various places like that, and "forgetting" to attribute, that is classic, flagrant plagiarism.

Like you say, MBMBaM credits their source. They're also using 1-2 sentences from a public forum, not a dozen paragraphs from a competing podcast.
I would absolutely send them a bill for the time. Oh you didn't pay? Small claims. Then it's also public record. My guess is given the facts you'd fare pretty well.

Wait, naked short selling is unrelated to insider trading.

Insider trading is illegally profiting on information that was given to you in trust, while naked short selling is short selling without a documented ability to deliver the stock.

As far as I can gather from english language articles, the regulator has banned short selling in response to an article alleging fraud at wirecard. Bloomberg describes this as "unprecedented".

I sold my 2016 Golf R around the same time we picked up the 3. I actually was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the 3, to be honest. Maybe my expectations were low-ish because I spend a fair bit of time in a Model S, but I really thought they did a good job of stepping up and making the interior relatively premium. Where cars like the R feel 'premium' to me is how they glow at night. The interior just felt REALLY high end, better than a base BMW, all the glowing buttons and stuff. But the Tesla just doesn't HAVE the buttons. To me, that's different, not worse.

The nav/display is obviously better in the Tesla (although my Golf didn't have the digital cockpit that they're putting in the new ones). Both cars have their 'fancy' seating material (leather/fake leather/whatever) on the seating surfaces only, cloth elsewhere (and, by the way, I hate leather seats, I just want cloth in everything.. I'm just saying, this is one way premium cars are differentiated, is by FULL leather). The most galling thing to me on the R, the only real sign of cost cutting, was the manual passenger seat, where the 3 has a power seat. A low end touch on both is the totally spartan, stripped out finishing of the trunk/hatch area.

No swiveling headlights on the 3, but the headlights are actually better, significantly so, particularly on high beam.

Perhaps one thing that keeps me from being as critical of the 3 is that it's an appliance to me. I'm a german car fan, and I hate sedans. My BMWs and VWs have been cars I'm passionate about. The Tesla just takes me from Point A to Point B. And it's a fantastic car. But maybe that makes my expectations lower.
Valve does not belong in that list. They got their lucky streak and used it to buy themselves a work environment where nobody has to be accountable to anyone in order to stay profitable. Productivity is optional at Valve. Take Steam or leave it, they don't need to make titles anymore.

At least Nintendo and Pixar create new content.
Mac OS X only works for this due to herculean community efforts. The base system is fundamentally unusable for this purpose without Homebrew, Macports (oh hey, BSD ports!), or pkgsrc (oh hey, BSD ports again!).

The base packages get upgraded on a timescale approaching lolnever. They should be ashamed of themselves for shipping machines with Bash 3 still and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

OpenBSD is so simple for me and it takes me a fraction of the time to configure a new OpenBSD system than a new Mac.

What do you think that proves? Remember that the number of Concordes flying was a tiny fraction of most aircraft types you've heard of.

AIUI the part of the fuel tank at the front where the tyre debris hit withstood the initial hit (as it was designed to), but the shape of the tank focused the pressure wave from the impact so that it ruptured the rear of the tank. Bad luck? Yes. An understandable oversight? Yes. But there's still no way to see it as anything other than a Concorde design flaw.
Our recruiters discourage us from sending out "take-home" tests, but I have to admit, I'd rather see a comprehensive "can you build an endpoint that fetches data from other places - some in parallel, some in serial - and build a response?" type challenge instead of "can you reverse a string?" or "can you find the next permutation of this number sequence?". Yes, it'll take about an hour or so to pop something up on your GitHub. But it'll show me how/if you handle errors, if you add logging, if you write some tests. I get that not everyone has the time (or desire) to devote to this but... I sure do hate doing the "CS-secret-handshake" to make myself believe a developer can solve problems.

I only skimmed the video, but I couldn't see him describing it doing type reloading. Perhaps that is what he is planning on implementing. It is very hard to implement (especially if you can't control the compiler) but very useful for general code reloading. Of course everything is relative, and even if I think it is "very hard" it might be a weekend project for someone else. Generally though, code reloading is one of the hardest things to implement in a vm.

The holy grail of code reloading is to upgrade the code of a HTTP server while it is running and without disturbing any requests being processed. Very few languages except for Erlang are able to do that correctly. Some languages claim to support that, but when you experiment with them you discover "quirks" making it impossible in practice.
