Not as often as we'd like to[1], but it happens regularly in reviews, or when casually working together on the same thing in, or when basing branches on other people's unfinalized work, etc. If a team member is used to a force push / rebase type of workflow, it invariably means that stuff will blow up becuause they forgot they had rebased, or they do a force push out of habit, etc. If you include rebase / force push in your daily workflow, you will invariably foul up with it and forget to make an exception for the teamwork.

Your proposed "heads up" way can work in theory, but it introduces too much friction and risk of error, and still leaves the situation in shambles when they have a rebased branch on their laptop that they haven't pushed yet. So you need to have a multi phase protocol that requires many interactions and even then the other guy may well forget about it and do a rebase & force push out of habit in the end.

[1] Well, "branch assigned to a single developer" isn't a thing, but most feature branches are finished by 1-2 people.
> The identity-destroying part only came after 1938. They were trying to do 내선일체 [內鮮一體] (not sure how to translate this in English). Before that, they actually helped Koreans learn Hangul.

Banning Hangul and erasing Korea's independent cultural identity intentionally traced the pattern of Japan's nearly identical actions a few decades earlier in conquering Ryukyu, including classifying each suppressed language as a "dialect" of Japanese.

As a contrast to Korea, the former Ryukyu Kingdom is now fully subsumed as the Okinawan islands and its original languages, religions, and culture are, in practice, nearly extinct.
Not necessarily disagreeing with your points but who exactly are “the elites”? Elite thinkers? Elite earners? Elite influencers? Elite who, and elite by what criteria?
Hg and git have near feature parity, so I don't really lament Hg's loss so much. Sure Hg's CLI is a little bit better, but beyond that it never really offered any really compelling features over git. Mercurial and git is like Honda and Toyota; maybe one is a bit nicer than the other, but they're both offering you more or less the same thing.

Fossil is another matter. Fossil defies pithy car analogies. Integrating the bug tracker into the version control alone is a game changer, and that's not even all that Fossil does.
Wikipedia:

"A person may be ferendae sententiae (i.e., upon judicial review) excommunicated if he:

...

4. who breaks a penal law allowing excommunication that was enacted on local level, which the local authority, however, may only do with great caution and for grave offences (for Latin Catholics, can. 1318 CIC)."

I would expect molesting children to be grave enough.

Support for 4! Yet, my understanding is that particle filters are superior but computational more demanding. For nonlinear problems, the extended Kalman Filter linearizes the task, whereas particle filters don't and work with many point estimates instead.

> Without the burden and complexity of securing private health insurance, anyone with a couple months rent saved up could try starting a business.

How expensive is private health insurance in the US? I've seen numbers as low as $6k a year, but from your post it sounds more like $20k a year.

I doubt that it would massively increase the amount of startups. We have all that (and more) in Germany, and you don't see companies popping up everywhere, and the ones that are founded are mostly copy cats.
I'm not sure how much the rules vary, but in our case there were 18 candidate jurors and both sides were allowed to dismiss 3 without cause or justification. Additionally, if either side could argue there was a cause, additional jurors could be dismissed (requiring new jurors to be summoned), but that didn't happen. The plaintiffs removed the 3 with any college at all.

If you write them yourself they certainly can. For small projects, you can leave everything explicit and it works great.

Can you break down your problem into a bunch of rules of the form “To produce this file, I need to run these shell commands, which read those other files over there as input”? If so, Make can take care of figuring out which steps actually need to be run.

The old bankruptcy procedure simply halted operations and sold off the assets. The new procedure allows the company to continue operating under the direction of a judge. A judge, of course, knows nothing about running a business. Worse, it allows the people running the company to strip its assets for their personal gain.
i think this has to be wrong, else companies wouldn't try to hard to get you to quit instead of firing you.

the primary reason they want you to quit is so they don't have to pay unemployment insurance. that is the real deterrent to firing someone.

It's telling a millennia is 1,000 years. 10,000 years is a blink of an eye. The dinosaurs were around for over 160 million years, that is sixteen thousand times longer -- talk about a millennia. More habitable for humanity, deadly for pretty much every other living thing. Heck we were even doing all that much until 300 year ago -- that's 160 million divided by 533,333. So let's see the damage we did in 300 years multiplied by 533,333 times, yeah we're going the way of the dinosaurs almost half a million times faster than the dinosaurs.

We need maybe like 100 million or less people total on the planet. And 7 or 70 or heck 700 billion littered through the rest of the solar system. The chances of the survival of our species and life in general on the planet the would be infinitely greater than what we have done in the past 300 years. Population growth outside the planet raises absolutely no questions about the survival of the planet or species. The rest of the solar system is already completely and utterly dead as far as we know. No arguments about pollution or stability or sustainability or survival apply to it.

The rest of the universe as far as we know is our canvas, but please spare the damn planet from where we came. It's rare and nearly impossible to replace.

Well, maybe read the part about filling in the details again. "What the law says" is often not clear. That's why it made it to an appeals court. In such situations, judges can't simply follow existing law. It just doesn't provide that guidance.
Imagine that your company is young, lean and quick while everybody else is old and big and maybe a bit lazy. You'll inevitably become a bit lazy yourself, never thinking further than "old and big and maybe a bit lazy" when everybody else is doing a thing one way. Why waste energy on looking for other reasons they might have for doing it that specific way when you already have a perfectly fine explanation? A perfectly fine explanation that is also irresistibly flattering?

Telling apart "rules" that exist because nothing else works from those that are just inertia is difficult.
It is actually a bigger economic loss to waste the same amount of a more productive worker's time. And that time wasted in line is simply gone; money paid to compete for seats can be invested by the transit agency into services.
The US has killed millions of people in the last 15 years alone in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen and a dozen other countries that we have bombed or invaded (including the 8 we are bombing right now). I'm under no illusions about the many despicable things done by the Russians and the Chinese, but its simply absurd to contend that their behavior has any worse than the United States. We have more of our citizens locked in cages than Russia and China combined. We have toppled more governments and invaded more countries than Russia and China combined by a factor of 10 (or more) since the end of World War II. Its astounding how willfully blind people can be when it comes to their own government. We can't become the good guys until people wake up and acknowledge that there haven't been any good guys.
i've heard of probationary periods, and prob have been on more than one, but i've mostly worked at startups and none had them.
Hg actually does go beyond Git in many areas; I did outline a few but my favorites are the improved commit model (stages, natural branching, rewrite tracking,) the commands Git doesn’t have (absorb, evolve,) and the extensibility (see Facebook extensions.)

Sure, the model is similar and Fossil is different. But that is kind of an important note. If Fossil can’t be compared on the same level, maybe that’s a sign it solves fundamentally different problems.

In most setups, the bug tracker and source control are separate, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get bugtracking alongside code either, GitLab provides everything from bugtracking to CI to deploying stuff to Kubernetes.

Not to say Fossil isn’t cool or doesn’t have its place, but if I disagree with the philosophy (and I do, fundamentally,) then I don’t feel like I lose much using alternative software suites.
That seems pointless. Why make everyone carry around a card that has no purpose for the user. Why not just let the government design all the routes and manage it.
Props for the gracious response and openness to being mistaken. It always inspires me when I see this.

The paper states:

> By focusing on grant proposals that fell just below and just above the funding threshold, we compare “near-miss” with “near-win” individuals to examine longer-term career outcomes.

This is an example of a 'regression discontinuity analysis'. The underlying assumption is that applications just-above and just-below the NIH funding threshold have roughly the same merit, and falling on either side of the threshold can be explained by noise in the review process. So they're explicitly comparing scientists whose applications are equal with respect to merit - meaning the people dropped were not 'bad candidates' and the people funded were not 'better candidates'.

Since candidates are (assumed to be) equal in terms of merit, comparing the eventual outcomes of the two groups is a way to infer the causal effect of early funding or rejection on career outcome.

Reminds me of a comment I saw on HN a while ago about an American shocked that other countries have public toilets that aren't covered in shit, blood and needles. It seems like so many Americans are not even aware that the problems they face are not global and they just take it as a fact of life.

It's in the nature of public transit to have hard capacity plateaus that take half-century capital projects to break through. You do need a plan for the next few decades.
The Windows equivalent of DTrace is.. DTrace. [0]
DTrace is about far, far more than snooping the filesystem. At best, Process Monitor is an equivalent of Brendan Gregg's DTrace utility, opensnoop. The true power of DTrace is to correlate events across subsystem boundaries. Like, graphing the top quartile of latencies from network acceses initiated via a given function in your application.

While the math in this paper is way too dense for me to fully comprehend, the larger premise here -- that the mysteries of quantum mechanics as presently understood mask a deeper, deterministic, discontinuous regime -- is actually gaining ground in many quarters.

That was a different 1.8T. But yes it seems every manufacturer has had a misadventure with coil packs. Not sure why.

The 1.8Ts in the Passats gave the transverse 1.8T a bad name. The one in the Passat is mounted lontudinally, like your classic American v8. To do that with the Passat (for the AWD system) they had to move the engine down and a crossmember was in the way.

So they wisely made the oil pan smaller. On a turbocharged engine. Doh! To add insult to injury lots of dealers used cheap oil. So engine failures happened.

Fun fact - you can take the engine from the Passat - turn it 90 degress - and bolt it in pretty much any VW from 1979-~1999. Even the waterpump housing was unchanged for like 20 years. These engines are commonly used as power upgrades for older cars (which is what I am doing with mine).

The 1.8T that was in the GTIs was a complete redesign and had less problems. Forged internals etc. But VW decided to use a timing belt instead of a chain and when owners forgot to replace the belt at 80k miles and the engines went kablooey it didn't exactly help customer relations. A great engine destroyed by one consumable component. Luckily VW isn't using belts anymore.

I am fedup of data leak every month and having to update my password everynow
Problem: People never update all their account password after there is major password scandal leak. Most people usually never update all their account after updating any one accounts passwords.

Reason- on asking people their reason was they were lazy to go into each website and then find that magical page in each website. It takes a lot of time.

Solution- I created this website updateyourpass.xyz which lists down all the direct link of most of the website's Password update page. Now in one-click, It will redirect you to the password update page without having to explore each website. It will save a lot of time and help you be upto date. I hope I could help.

You should probably look up the undergrad math courses of the grad school you want to go to, they will have lectures notes and textbook/chapter reading recommendations so structured and you aren't going through enormous reference books. Search the textbook name on youtube, often there will be some lectures for it sometimes even by the author.

There's an ML math prep book https://mml-book.com/ which is basically a crash course, and a series of lectures here for a background in math for an intro machine learning course at CMU https://www.youtube.com/user/professorgeoff though note they aren't as long as they seem, as these were live lectures so they start late, have breaks between exercises, etc. If you've read the Elements of Statistical Learning 2e you likely know much of this already.

Personally my recommendation is go through a Wilberger course, this set of undergrad lectures is for the Stillwell book 'Mathematics and it's History' https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL55C7C83781CF4316 it will intuitively cover differential geometry, topology, group theory, polynomials etc, to the depth of Stillwell's book and if you see something that interests you or that you forgot, then you can pursue it taking formal courses. I'd recommend his Linear Algebra course too on the same youtube channel he uses clear definitions for everything so when you get to abstract 3D vector spaces it makes sense.

Anybody with a complete shit background in math like I used to have try the Wildberger foundations playlists on the same channel watching how he writes proofs, then pick up some large book written by Knuth and start attempting the exercises as a weekly hobby, which will now be possible to do. This is also how you retain these skills by using them on a regular basis, at least for me anyway.

Should we? Judging from its actions, feminism seems to be focused on trying to get men at the top to share their power with women.

Nice work! I was wondering if you noticed changes in the output coherence during training?

I fine-tuned it on the corpus of The Office quotes [1] and I noticed that a loss of around 0.9 gives me the most 'humorous' outputs. This may be subjective but I think for comedy the surprise plays a huge role and for longer training (and loss around 0.4) it feels overly unsurprising and therefore less funny. I also tried sampling with temperatures >1 but then it just goes crazy (e.g. some outputs are completely in Latin).

Just say hi and talk a minute in the beginning. Put your headphones in.

When you go heavy on the bench, you can ask someone at least.

-- I think a long time ago, I used to be like you ( not that extreme). But I started going out and quickly changed my behavior. The small overhead of saying hello and being nice in general, makes it less obvious that you filter out successful people ( sometimes).

Or the small talk with other people, when something is happening. You are the point of reference. Not someone who never says hello

"Labor shortage" in the context of high unemployment (edit: as in South Korea, not Japan) usually just means, from the point of view of employers, a shortage of suckers who are willing to accept low wages.

Besides, the birth rate in SK hovered between 1.4 and 1.5 during much of the 80s and 90s, and only dropped to current levels (around 1.1) since the early 2000s. Most people who are looking for jobs right now were born in the 90s; the ultra-low-birth-rate generation is still in K-12. It's a lame excuse.

Foreign workers are willing to accept the kind of crappy treatment that most young Koreans would not hesitate to report to the authorities. That's why they're hired and Koreans are not. Then the Koreans become foreign workers in Japan...
Agreed. I'm a big fan of the cradle/clamp thing on the VW e-up- it's supposed to be a "cost saving" feature, but I think it actually works better than most centrally mounted built-in systems.
That's true. Its unfortunate that our regulatory agencies have been so utterly captured by industry that they are essentially worthless when it comes to oversight. Worse yet, the existence of these agencies gives many a false sense of confidence that there is some governmental body out there insuring that we aren't being poisoned by corporations and that our environment isn't being saturated by chemicals, but unfortunately that isn't so.
