I've been an avid user of docker-compose for web app type projects. In this case, I've found putting everything in one repo perfectly manageable. Usually this means the backend, frontend, nginx and any other random microservices are just in separate folders in the base repo along with a compose yaml file. I gather that if you are using more complex CI/CD tools this becomes more complicated...

I thought psychologoy was by know a persona-non-grata to any discussion?
Psychology has a huge replication crisis, the whole quack science is heavily subverted by politics in its institutions- meaning they are under suspicion of pushing any study that runs against a "traditional" family value outcome?
Even if that outcome, could also be had by a non-traditional family?
This may not be objective coming from a non-US person but it seems strange to me that the US likes to have that cloak of respecting others, standing for freedom, equality etc. and using that around the world as a cover for a lot of meddling they're doing, while at the same time openly admiring that other people are simply lesser and if we ban tech that could save lives elsewhere, so be it.

This is one of the reasons why am strongly for a multipolar world order, maybe the other player would be China/Russia/India, at least the US would actually have to prove that they do in fact stand for the values that they use to buy themselves so much leeway around the world.

>But chances are it is much closer to 0, at which point you’d be better off just using that electricity for something else.

Unless your ultimate goal is not just to use energy efficiently, but to recapture carbon dioxide.
Yeah, the "issue" for me is spinning up the backend-server from the frontend project, or vice-versa, but I should probably stop being lazy and write a simple script to spin up both at the same time.
Actually, their electricity usage makes this everyone's problem, just like antivaxxers.

In part due to Spectre and Meltdown, in general starting prior to their being revealed out of paranoia I think is entirely justified, I do financial transactions in a separate browser instance, which is started for each site and exited after finishing, and runs no extensions like ad blockers. I don't get see ReCaptcha while doing this, so if running an ad blocker or other defensive extensions are the cause of your problem you might want to try it.
Check out Zadie Smith's fascinating treatment of Justin Bieber as love object in Feel Free [1], where she argues Bieber and Buber are, after all, English versions of the same German name, so in her mind, the pop star and Jewish philosopher are spiritual cousins - both forever obsessed about personal relationships. The entire book has this sort of unorthodox and completely compelling insight and is a delight!

Edit - a bit more about Feel Free:

This is an almost cookie cutter list of every buzzword around.

Take this look in this: it is written by foremost industry "experts" with 6 digit salaries the US government claims to employ.

If the best experts they have can't come with a better insight, guess the expertise level the rest of their workforce.
Debian used to have "non-us" to hold things like SSH (maybe still does). These software "munitions" where then simply "imported" to the US each install or upgrade that occurred on Debian systems located in the US.

Ironically, instead of keeping the tech "in house" these export controls kept the tech at a distance, making things slightly more inconvenient to use for people in the US.

Could it have anything to do with the sheer volume and accessibility of 'art' in the modern world? There was a time where thousands of people had to favor an artist/photographer's style in order for them to rise to prominence. Nowadays with people scrolling through hundreds or thousands of Instagram posts a day and voting with their thumbs, the barriers to entry into the 'art' world are much lower.
expert vim

Another notable trick is that vim registers are case-insensitive -- and since macro's are just stored in registers, macro's are case-insenstitive as well. so @q == @Q, which alleviates some of the RSI problems with spamming @q.
Startup teams need to earn more revenue to pay for everyone, compared to individuals, and they are probably less willing to live in their cars during any periods of hardship.
I share your concerns about the longer arc of these export controls, but it's important to note that this is not naming these categories in a broad brush.
It's a request for public comment to help "determine whether there are specific emerging technologies that are essential to the national security of the United States".

It also specifically names (a) impact of controls on reducing our ability to advance and (b) the potential (in)effectiveness of controls as things needing discussion. A lot of folks here work at companies with uniquely informed perspectives on those two things! This is the time to push your company towards publicly responding to this request for comment, so that others can see and be encouraged to share their view.
Mapping Capslock simultaneously to both ESC and Control solved this problem for me. It might not be your piece of cake but it definitely improved my vim experience greatly. See for example (I'm not the author) https://www.dannyguo.com/blog/remap-caps-lock-to-escape-and-...
I think a more nuanced explanation is that the problem isn't the amount of regulation but the nature of the regulation. If we simply add up all the rules, healthcare is probably more regulated in the US than anywhere else in the world. The difference is that in other countries the rules are designed with the intention of making healthcare accessible to everyone. In the US, the rules are designed to maximize profits.

A less nuanced explanation is to agree that in an unregulated market, this type of excessive rent seeking would not exist. The old and sick would simply die in the streets. (Actually that's not quite fair since in an unregulated market we wouldn't have streets.)

You're thinking of going back rather than improving. Why a horse for delivery? How about (for example)

- improvements in public transport to reduce one-person drives

- more remote work, removing daily commuters

Surely the obvious question is: is the high street shop really a justified expense? Surely all the sales are online? The more specialized the shop, the less one can hope to fulfill ones sales volume from people in physical cruising distance. The article doesn’t seem to address this, except for acknowledging that most sales are online.
I'm guessing snort or one on the similar products.

You're confusing a career with the work. I've taken consultancy jobs where I was only supposed to spend a month there, preparing the foundations for future projects by internal developers. It wasn't a long-term plan for my career, yet I did think long-term for the project and the company. They're two different things.

Regarding the low-hanging fruit, this again may involve the choice of job (career decision), rather than the choices you make in the job. Nevertheless, I'd suggest looking for neglected problems may actually be beneficial in the job as well, for the employer - too often employees are jostling to participate in the high-visibility projects, rather than what can make a real difference in the bottom-line.

As for not making waves, that's simply not there. They're talking about "irreversible reputational harm" like committing crimes and doing drugs. No job should require you to do irreversible reputational harm to yourself.
>The only serious solution to climate change is carbon recapture.

No. There's a major problem with carbon recapture that will never make it feasible, namely, carbon is a tiny percentage of the atmosphere - meaning you have to pump huge amounts of atmosphere through whatever filtering system you set up to get any significant carbon out. So that's the first major unsolvable problem. The second is that you need to put energy in to convert Carbon into some sort of fuel. That's your second problem.

So this will NEVER work. It will NEVER be cost effective. You are fighting thermodynamics every step of the way and you will not win.

The only serious solution to climate change is nuclear power (because nukes are the only energy source that can totally replace carbon-based power generation) and continual improvement in energy efficiency. And if that isn't good enough, then we're done as a species.
Sounds good in theory, but I'm wondering: your edit-test cycle now becomes edit-install-test?
An electric car powering on otherwise wasted renewable energy does not have negative CO2 emissions, just zero. Germany had 134 hours of negative power prices last year, and this would indeed mean that a marginal electric car added to the grid would be proportionally powered by renewables - 1.5% in 2018. In that sense, my argument of 0% is too extreme especially as the number grows, but it is still a negligible amount even in Germany today, which is significantly ahead of most countries on the renewable transition.

It is fair to count renewable energy that could not be produced without the assistance of BEVs, via demand dispatch or battery to grid transfers. And the full amount of this energy should be counted, not just its share of contribution to the grid.
> If Bob eventually pays back and the bank doesn't make any further loans, the bank will have 1$ (my dollar) and a couple of cents of interest.

This is wrong. The bank will have $1.90 + interest. You have to pay back your entire loan. Yes, bob might default, but averaged out, the risk calculations set the interest rate high enough to cover that profitably. The fractional reserve part of the banking system is a temporary choice that happens continuously. But if stopped, the bank would eventually have all of its cash because it has all of its reserves covered in debt.

> If I give Tether a dollar Tether has another dollar. I get a Tether token which I can exchange on the open market for whatever the market price is. It supposedly is possible (though inconvenient) to get Tether itself to exchange their tokens for actual dollars (of which they hold only 70%) but (just like a bank) Tether relies on that not happening "at scale".

The difference is tether has no title to the missing 30%, and probably even more of it if we are going to be honest. The likelihood of repayment and the fullness of reserves are two separate concept. And banks win on both counts.
Wording. Your comment feels more like vitriol than fact statement, regardless of being correct.

It’s an interesting point. Is there a perceptible difference for Berliners between E/W shop types?
I have a couple questions about this:

- How would this affect a largely foreign-based company with branches or subsidiaries in the US? Would the subsidiary be prohibited from sharing knowledge with its parent without prior approval?

- Or what about a publicly traded multi-national company with many shareholders (both American and non-American) which has R&D offices in many different countries? How would you treat a company like that? There are many large companies which are de jure registered in tax havens, and have offices and staff spanning multiple continents.

- Lastly, what is the constitutional authority on which the federal government is able to do this? This seems to conflict with the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech. Especially, considering this affects private speech. We're not talking about leaking TOP SECRET / SECRET / CONFIDENTIAL classified privileged information that's shared with you after getting a security clearance. This has to do with limiting the freedom speech of private individuals, and the freedom of Americans to converse with non-Americans as they wish.

> Ideally, the split should be so that nobody has to work across multiple repos to finish a feature.

That does not sound realistic. Often I have to add a new function, and I think: where (in what library) does this function belong, and very often it's not the main library I'm working in at that moment.
I know, but I better keep trying, right? There is also quite a range between working for a bank and writing the next wikipedia.

Anything more than just CRUD and with a business model including real value for the customer is already OK (as opposed to some buggy subscription trap selling dreams that will go bust).
It doesn't seem that factual, accepted and well-researched when this article directly contradicts your statement:

> In such a skewed retail landscape, many small shops found they could compete by specialising in goods neglected by generalist department stores, especially since retail space was cheap and in plentiful supply behind the Iron Curtain.

So while you may be right, you may also be wrong. Maybe it's not as black&white as you make it out to be.

We should be careful when researcher themselves say that the data is unreliable. When it comes to false rape rates it is doubly so, as there is no common definition.

If we use the same definition as for conviction, ie proven beyond reasonable doubt that a crime did not occur, you get similar single digit. In one case it is the court that define proven beyond reasonable doubt and in the other the police, but they more or less is the same single digit of the total number of reported cases. We can assume that the police definition is a bit less strict than the court, but how much is just speculation.

We could use the rate in which prosecutor deem a case likely to succeed and thus brings it to the court and compare that to the rate which police finds it proven beyond reasonable doubt that the crime did not occur, but we will still end up with a huge rate of false reports.

Which is why people tend to compare the total number of reported cases vs those that police finds is proven (with evidence) beyond reasonable doubt that the crime did not occur. This makes the number of false report very low, and where the 2-10% comes from. To me that is just not very sincere approach.
The answer is probably that shop owners would rather work in a shop that satisfies online orders than in a warehouse.

While interesting and worthy of debate, the title makes it feel a lot more general than reality (this is a study of Kickstarter companies, so goes with the huge sample bias of “stuff that gets put on Kickstarter”).

As a solo founder, I think people always love the idea but don’t acknowledge how lonely it is compared to having at least one other founder (not to mention complementary skills etc).

Most high growth businesses go to zero as time continues, so while there are outliers the majority (in number) case still remains a zero outcome, not more or less revenue (let alone exit $).

Obesity poised to overtake smoking as leading preventable cause of cancer
THIS! My brother works for a large corp that does a lot of government(and private) work. A few years back, they tightened up their security with live monitoring, and as soon as it was enabled they realized that folks from China were actively connected. FBI was involved, but it never made the news. 2-3 more attempts have been made since. While they have an idea how long they had been breached, they don't know for sure...
It's a common sense, but it's really hard to argue against super-fine splitting. Having repo per module seems like stronger separations of concerns from a distance.

Of course, what in the end really decides about the strength of your concern separation is the shape of your CI, but alas, repository granuality is just much more visible then CI checks.
Is anyone else failing to see a legitimate need for sticky tape in tens of different colours?

It's an illusion of choice, fueling pointless production of variations of the same thing and targeting your attention and time.

It’s nothing to do with commercial bias. The personal effects allowance was assigned in order to aid astronaut morale. If they’re sacrificing allowance for personal items commercially that creates a perverse and distracting situation. Also personal effects are supposed to go through a approval process, which at least some of these covers bypassed. Do you really want astronauts making trade offs between genuinely personal items and effectively commercial cargo?
This is not true. You can spend up to a dollar, because you’re spending from your bank account and everyone trusts that you’re allowed to take up to a dollar. Dollars a fungible, so you’ll be taking someone else’s dollar, but that’s ok, because not everyone needs their dollar at once.

Bob can spend 90 cents because he has 90 cents, though he is obligated to pay it back later.

The bank can loan out (in this example) 81 cents of the 90 cent deposit from bob.

If you already know C, then the knowledge of how to use a library and build system should carry over.
Speaking of state of the art CPUs, I own a couple years old "KiwiSDR" web-ui receiver which devotes some CPU cycles to implementing a GPS rx and it uses the GPS lock to discipline the internal oscillators such that the radio is driftless and perfect frequency accuracy. It works pretty well. My receiver is somewhat more frequency stable than some local AM broadcasters, which is weird to see in the waterfall display; many local broadcasters do GPS discipline, of course.

Pretty sure the code is at

https://github.com/jks-prv/Beagle_SDR_GPS

Note that the hardware Skyworks SE4150L chip is an RF front-end, all the math is done in software, the chip merely attaches to the GPS antenna and squirts out a very raw digital bit-stream of data, its hardly a full GPS squirting out NMEA RS232 serial data. I am aware of SDR hardware that does the RF work in software, which is a slight step beyond the KiwiSDR.

Technology is not distributed smoothly and software defined GPS is cheap enough that everyone except cheap consumer gear can implement it. Someday, presumably, computing power will be cheap enough that your microwave oven and clothes washer will not bother with expensive hardware to have a semi-accurate timer, they'll just use cheap SDR code in a FPGA to listen to GPS to time your microwave popcorn and clothes spin cycle. That's the fundamental problem with regulations like this, they don't slow down "state actors" they just stand in the way of (taxable, profitable) commercial exploitation.

Post 2000, post 2010 at worst, no serious missile program will ever lack an unlimited GPS, but post regulation, the technology will be crippled from entering consumer goods.

Now what is interesting to speculate is it would be destabilizing if we know that they know how to crack the military P(Y) code or the newer M code for higher resolution positioning. I'm not sure that would help with missiles but if our secret squirrels are freaking out about the generic topic of software GPS, that would imply some state level actor (or lower?) has a crack or exploit for the math behind P(Y) code or M code streams, which has interesting implications for other crypto systems.
Adding a new function anywhere other than the leaf project where it's used is premature. Organize around user-facing functionality. Pull out common libraries as and when you have something common enough to factor out (and, crucially, test independently), not before.
