Hmm, if you're working on a single product (like the author is), then of course it makes sense to stick them in the same repository. But isn't this just common sense?

I mean, if you have a single product split over many repositories then you will run into the issues mentioned by the author: A change will invariably involve multiple repositories. Again, to me this seems to be just an indication that you are, in fact, working on a single product.
Wouldn't it make more sense to pull the CO2 directly out of the exhaust pipe, because the concentration is higher there?
> Their original proposition was that you could buy and sell tether from them at exactly 1 USD.

That depends on who "you" is, as far as I know this was possible for retail until a few years back. But I wouldn't say it was "promised" at all (or are you referring to the whietpaper?). It's still possible for trading firms right this very moment. Active OTC markets for tether right now as well.

Note that even though it's possible for some to redeem a Tethers 1:1, that doesn't mean the price is always exactly worth 1 USD. Just like how USD stored in Coinbase is not worth exactly the same as USD stored in Bitstamp. Of course you can transfer them between each other, but that takes days - after which certain price spreads caused by temporary offer/demand discrepancies have ceased to exist.

Also, thanks for the downvote!

Find me another market where people need to urgently make choices that affect their life and death, or that of their loved ones.

The comparison isn't laughable at all.
Would you consider this viable in a monolith, though?

The primary application I work on has hundreds of classes that get dependencies injected through DI. Many can be and are singletons, but many - including some very commonly used ones - cannot.

If I manually wired dependencies it would add thousands of lines of code, and there are some where if I changed the constructor parameters I would have to modify 1000+ call sites.

And this isn't even a particularly massive or complex application.
No. At best we could add 6% more electric cars per year - if only electric cars would be sold. That is the renewal rate for cars in Germany. This means, the energy consumption would increase by 1.5% per year. The addition of reneweable energy to the grid per year far exceeds the amount of energy that could be used by electric cars even at 100% market share. Which they are unfortunately far from. So the mix gets cleaner even after accounting all new reneweable energy for the electricity demands of electric cars.
Totally out of context but might be of interest: Douglas Self, the site owner, is also an EE who authored some good books about audio related electronics.
These are the basics, not intermediate. Otherwise what are the basics - just i and esc? Undo and redo are intermediate? Nope.
Can't use Homebrew for any stable operations.

I had a project that has Ruby set at version 2.5, one day Homebrew turned it into 'ruby@2.5' and now 'ruby' was 2.6 and whenever @2.5 also upgrades, since there is no global symlink, a minor version change breaks my IntelliJ setting as the path has slightly changed.

I was using Ansible from my local Mac but dropped it thinking this might just break one day. Linux distribution vendors do far better jobs at keeping things 'as is' for years.

The only use for Homebrew for me is to install individual tools that don't have wider impact if it breaks (like ripgrep).
We have had LNG/CNG for forty years. There have been huge fleets of public sector vehicles converted to it in the past but those vehicles were not replaced with more LNG/CNG vehicles. There was also a considerable tax incentive.

It was a failed experiment. It never took off. Already electric cars have better infrastructure and higher uptake and it isn't as if governments are fleet buying electric vehicles for councils/utilities to use. They had been doing that with the LNG/CNG things several decades ago, and building some refilling infrastructure in depots.

When you compare the success of diesel in the European market for small cars you can see a change of fuel is possible. Diesel isn't as cheap as it once was but it still commands a large part of the European market.

I think we need to look to China and what they are doing. It is full steam ahead for electric. The diesel and petrol cars will simply get replaced with new vehicles, there won't be any conversion to LNG/CNG.

We get the full Musk vision of robot taxi cars that do their fleet thing removing the need for car parks and making roads safe to even the lamest squirrel, but the real danger to the automotive status quo is affordable Chinese electric cars that pass the safety tests and are nice to be in just because they are electric. We have had the market changed before with Volkswagen and the Japanese cars coming along and actually being what people wanted, despite being alien to the established industry.

Most cars you see reviewed are refreshes of the existing conventional ICE models, they have updated styling and updated infotainment systems with a revised version of the same platform. Despite the failings, Tesla are 7 years ahead in redefining the automobile product. The incumbents are not really trying, they are just running these ICE refresh vehicles. The market isn't going to be disrupted by them.

Meanwhile, in China they have 5 and 10 year plans to dominate the automotive trade with fully electric cars. Plus the incentives in their domestic market make things possible at scale. Much like how the VW came along with a better value proposition the same can happen with Chinese electric cars. If the payments are easy and the warranty lasts forever with the running costs much lower than ICE then the market for second hand ICE cars will be reduced to scrap value. As soon as it comes to replacing a part such as a bolt buried deep in the transmission somewhere it becomes more sensible to scrap the thing.

A practical plan for limiting carbon emissions:

1. Carbon tax
2. Import tariff at the border equivalent to the carbon tax on carbon used in production, plus an admin fee. But only on products from countries without their own carbon tax or equivalent.

1. This can be adopted unilaterally, but would probably work best if adopted by a group of nations at the beginning.

2. Does not require the near impossible task of requiring world wide agreement at the beginning. The hope is that it will encourage everybody to join the club eventually

3. Structuring as a tax rather than quotas mostly eliminates the fairness problem between developed / developing

The fact that delivery requires moving a couple of tons of vehicle to deliver at most 50kg of packages is where the problem lies. Larger delivery vehicles will obviously be required for remote locations and logistics, but for edge delivery (to re-use Cloud terminology) in urban spaces, there are many cases where soft mobility solutions would make much more sense, like electric-assisted cycling. DPD has started investing in those solutions [1].

Julian Assange sentenced to 50 weeks in prison
Because you’d need additional tanks and pipe work. And you’d add additional back pressure to the engine which would decrease the efficiency of the engine and only get worse as the tank filled.
Can you share the data that show the numbers of prosecutions declining per reported case, before and after the new guidance was issued?

As a comparison, I am reminded of Swedish statistics. Both people being assaulted in the home and sexually assaulted shared the same clearing rate. If rape is under-investigated in the UK we should expect those data to look very different unless both crimes are under-investigated, in which case I must ask what the norm is for which the claim of under-investigated is based on.
Quaid... Start the reactor...
You should start providing numbers and links to base your argumentation on.
I have provided a link which clearly shows the increase of reneweables in the consumed electricity. Equally, the CO2 per kWh is constantly declining, now at about 480 g/kWh. So CO2 emissions due to electricity production are clearly decreasing in Germany.
It is also wrong to speak about "now that they are closing nuclear power plants". Quite a few already have been closed, we habe about 8 left, on average one of those is going to be closed every year, nuclear power is quite small in Germany already. Yes, it will have an impact on the bilance, but the buildup of reneweable energy far exceeds the decomissioning of nuclear power plants.
Related to 2: sellers actively exploit our preferences, which probably creates a feedback loop where we buy the same kinds of clothes, accessories, etc.

I'll add a third, more mundane option, somewhat related to 2: default behavior. I think we generally prefer to do whatever takes the least amount of effort, and comforming is generally easier than the alternative.
I know this needs to be done.

But it’s quite hard.

Preventing bits from being exported is harder than preventing atoms.

What compounds the export problem, is the classification problem.

In the past, when military R&D was dominant, military technology was often aggressively classified despite the challenges of acquiring/replicating it.

Nowadays so much is recombined commercial duel use tech that discussing it is often enough to point adversaries/competitors in the right direction.
It's a reasonable approach.

From my perspective it's not so much about the "retire early" but rather about the "financial independence" part. Even if you don't intend to retire early approaches like FIRE are extremely useful for establishing or restoring financial sanity.

If you think about it it's really not (or at least it shouldn't be) all that novel an idea: Consistently spend less than you earn.

It's just that industrial societies at large have become used to a rampant consumerism that favours spending more than you earn.

More traditional retirement plans also disproportionately benefit banks and insurance companies.

RSA used to be export restricted by ITAR, and the situation became a running joke. There's a Perl 3 liner made into a t-shirt that was subject to the regulation. http://www.cypherspace.org/rsa/

Perhaps, but it is extremely resilient in certain markets. University for example. Here in the UK societies and social events are all managed through Facebook Groups and Events. There isn't even really an alternative platform.
So? A state-of-the-art CPU can also slot straight into a missile. As can nuts and bolts, batteries, radios, and all sorts of other equipment.
That's kind of a semantic argument. Reddit is, for all intents and purposes, the modern version of the 'forum'.
But, in general if you inadvertently buy an item that was stolen; on eBay, say; then you wouldn't be prosecuted for it, you just would lose ownership.

In the parallel situation here the 'selling' company [CC search] is saying "this isn't stolen", and you're using it in good faith. Seems like your liability _should_ be zero. If CC_search also did due diligence then their liability should probably be zero too.

Media mega-corps probably see things differently so I imagine their copyright laws mightn't be as liberal.
This is a request for public comment. Logistics is a key function in the military and a decisive capability in waging war. Position, Navigation and Timing technology improvements can be a decisive factor on the battlefield.
Much of this technology is of course in the public domain. However leading research & developments are not. So I’d expect to see responses that seek to define leading areas of research that are sensitive.
Still waiting for the Europe datacenter so I can start my backups :)
I live in the Netherlands and recently had a basic blood test done to diagnose a lack of energy. Having a high income I had to pay full price but it only cost me €89 so that seems fair. The GP was able to draw the blood and then sent it to a hospital laboratory.

Living in Europe is pretty great. Healthcare mainly is based on income here, if you are low income you pay next to nothing if you are high income you pay up to €5000 per year in tax and insurance. I think that's fair as it makes it accessible for everyone.
I don't know the right number but I do know of at least 2 acquaintances who lost all their families life savings. The legal process to get the money back is actually still ongoing but during that time we changed our national currency to euros and those life savings are worth about 10% of what they were back then.

Thing is, with crypto you invest (usually) what you can afford to lose and you accept the risk. With banks most people think it's safe and risk-free so then the impact of losing it all is so much harder, it ruins lives.
There's a big difference between 'pleasant to be around' and the stereotypical 'Mr Nice Guy' who goes out of his way to do anything and everything he thinks someone might want or need.

Interesting assertion that Ecuador was being denied an IMF loan as long as Assange was holed up in their embassy. Wouldn't be the first time the United States used "economic hit man" tactic to bend smaller countries to their will. I also wonder if the 50 weeks in prison is mainly to give plenty of time for the United States and/or Sweden to work on extradition negotiations.
Farmed fuel is probably sensible for aircraft. I'd say that was its longer term niche.
I think if they have the rocket scientests to design and manufacture missiles in the first place then export control of GPS chips is security theater - they have advanced mathematics and supercomputers by missle tech standards with just a desktop computer.

Food has military applications as well - because soldiers need to eat.
What's the relevant USC for that please?
It is simply not relevant that renewable energy is being added to the grid faster than EVs are increasing energy consumption. If you add energy consumption to the grid, you are powering it with your dirtiest power, which you'd otherwise be shutting off.

EVs are still superior when powering them entirely with fossil fuels. I'm not trying to argue against them. But it's important to be truthful about where the energy is coming from.
FANG maybe; Apple seems pretty keen on maintaining privacy as one of their primary differentiators.

Well, someone has to first come up with an idea. Chances are, the idea is bad but you'll never know unless you try.
Looked into this a little bit deeper. There are multiple packages in node that can do prebuilts handling, e.g. sharp is using this https://github.com/prebuild/prebuild-install so there are multiple solutions.

Now answering your notes:

- It is not very different in python from practical point of view. I understand that while from theoretical point of view it should be different but it is not. E.g. when I was working on Windows I met situations where package is supported but there is no binary package. In such situations it falls back to compilation from source code and for some packages you need to perform "ancient Zulu dance" to get it compiled on Windows. Sometimes I was in the mood to do that sometimes I was not. However from user perspective even if package manager can tell that it is supported it does not help much. In practice, both python and node packages compile successfully quite frequently and in the end package is almost always supported.

Node supports optional dependencies and failure to install package either as prebuilt or built from source code will simply skip it and will not fail the whole install.

- In practice node packages usually use github and sometimes amazon s3 for prebuilts (at least based on quick analysis). There are still at least two systems but github and amazon s3 both seems to be good enough.

- I don't see problem with repeatable builds in node's case. Could you elaborate more here?

I see one problem with node's approach however. In case you want to have your own prebuilts (e.g. you have your own server) then you will end up with one big problem. You will need to have override each package with prebuilts separately.

Overall I think node did good thing by not trying to do everything and allowing community to figure out prebuilt solution. Problem is that there are multiple solutions. Python approach most probably will work out as better solution in the long run. In the end, most probably both solutions will be equally good and will look quite similar from user perspective.

What tools are people using to manage multiple repos? A search reveals many, but what is the latest and greatest?
Allegedly ;)
Maybe they have multiple big repos, and that number is per repo?
The whole how much to drive discussion is pointless, the only thing that is actually better for the environment is to not drive at all.

Every option being "pointless" until it's the absolute perfect universal best solution is a great excuse for never doing anything.

A fourth option would be that I never cared about it enough to actually look for the reasons.

Seems to me this whole shitshow started when the prosecution went into rape cases without any evidence whatsoever aside from "I got raped".

Too much sensitivity. Be more selective before deciding to prosecute.

That's an assertion that isn't supported by any facts.

There are over 150,000 rapes in the UK each year, and only about 5,000 prosecutions.

In the cases that collapsed there wasn't no evidence. There was evidence that the events happened, and that there's some dispute about what happened.
