Doesn't puppet only support success/changed/error status for resources? How does it work with AWS infrastructure where you may need to possibly remove dependencies before the change, update the resource in place, or update other resources to point at what you just created? You need at least 5 states, I believe? (That depend on properties, not resources, so notification is not enough)

The US has been under replacement fertility for less than 100 years, under four generations. On an evolutionary timescale this is nothing. It’s like dropping 100 thoroughbreds on a small island. Come back in 20 years and if there are still horses they’ll be maybe a hand shorter. Give it a hundred years and they’ll be ponies.

If Mormons have higher fertility than non-Mormons then they’ll grow as a share of the population, even if the modal difference is less than one child. If the average Mormon family has three children when others have two they’ll increase their population share by 50% a generation, neglecting immigration and apostasy.
Wow! Long overdue. I'm not capable enough to contribute technically to the open source projects which I use. This will be a great way for me to make my contribution.

Also, I do believe this is a plus for open source projects that often find it tough to stay afloat because of financial constraints.

No. The hashed password can never be "deciphered". That's part of the point of using a cryptographic hash.

They have 350 hrs of playing per level. They could brute force on these parameters.

1. Detect to_avoid moving obstacles

2. Detect to_avoid stationary obstacles (gaps)

3. Player moves (jump (left, right)(up, far, farthest), walk)

4. Success (hitting the flag, reaching princess)

Once above information is available on the screen, it becomes easily bruteforcible. I was hoping use of genetic algorithms i.e. they could have taken success from one part (path) of level and crossed it with another and tried that with across levels. But there won't be a generic strategy or learning anyways as there's fair bit of randomness. So this does seem like brute forcing for success path
> Reports say one officer was wearing a body camera at the time of the stop but it was knocked off during the struggle with Medlin and turned off when it hit the ground. It was off during the shooting and did not capture the teen's death. After Medlin was detained, the camera was reattached and turned back on to record, police said but the Chesapeake Police Department declined to release the body camera footage.

It is insane how often body cameras are 'knocked' or 'dropped' in these cases. Is the tech seriously that poor? This is not even the most ridiculous case; there have been times when five body cameras were all said to have malfunctioned at once, or even seven dashboard cameras. [1] [2, for non-paywall version]

How these forces are allowed to get away with this is ridiculous.

> it's social commentary.

It's curious that rich people (at least some of them) still obsess over brands and relatively expensive stuff that can be purchased, my feeling was that for the past 5 years or so the cultural zeitgeist (for lack of a better expression) was to focus on "experiences" (for those that have the material means to do so) and generally speaking to treat the purchase of stuff for the sole sake of buying stuff as "tacky" (again, for lack of a better expression).

I admit that I may be wrong on this one, either way, I do feel that consumerism has dialed down a bit compared to the '90s and the early 2000s (the pre-2008 times).

Sorry for the slow reply.

I used to work for Praxis (now part of Altran) who used to be the owners of the SPARK tech, in fact I spent a while working in the SPARK team on the automated theorem prover technology.

Howerver this was a consultancy working in the aerospace and defense industry, and it frequently working away from home at the client's sites, on frequently very poorly run projects. I loved the technology, but I found the way things got done frustrating.

Building software in SPARK for stage equipment sounds like a good fit. I'd be very interested to hear how you get on.
It would be really interesting to know if the research/models have been verified by any independent researchers not employed in academia - ideally from the world of finance, where evaluating correctness of methodology and models is absolutely crucial. Ideally they would also be highly sceptical of the predictions and have a pro-economic growth bias.
> Maternity- and child care leave are too short. There are extreme shortage of daycare for infants and pre-school children, forcing women to stay home and even give up on their career until the child is old enough to go to/from school themselves.

This is not the case in Sweden and it has not had any great effects on fertility, which is within spitting distance of its neighbours. If you can’t afford childcare in Sweden the state will pay. Childcare is heavily subsidised and available 24/7 if you have shift work. Tiny effects on fertility.

> Cohort Fertility Patterns in the Nordic Countries

> Country differences in fertility outcome are generally rather low. Childlessness is highest in Finland and lowest in Norway, and the educational differentials are largest in Norway. Despite such differences, the cohort analyses in many ways support the notion of a common Nordic fertility regime.

Maybe the Blub paradox applies to code editors as well,

As long as our hypothetical Blub programmer is looking down the power continuum, he knows he's looking down. Languages less powerful than Blub are obviously less powerful, because they're missing some feature he's used to. But when our hypothetical Blub programmer looks in the other direction, up the power continuum, he doesn't realize he's looking up. What he sees are merely weird languages. He probably considers them about equivalent in power to Blub, but with all this other hairy stuff thrown in as well. Blub is good enough for him, because he thinks in Blub.

Emacs is not just a code editor. It will change the way you approach programming. As long as you don't understand it you might (rightfully, I guess) compare it to just "another text editor, only with these weird commands". Some of the stuff that Emacs can do and the way it integrates into your daily activities, cannot be seen in other text editors, so you're not even expecting such benefits from the other tools or realize that they exist out there, in the wild.
No, you're not alone. That sentence in that piece is embarassing.
> I would like to be sealed in clear epoxy

According to [1], taking a 40yr old male, the body would be 180cm x 25cm x 70cm (805, 236, 506+378 extrapolated). You'd probably want at least 2.5cm of epoxy border giving you 185cm x 30cm x 75cm or 0.42m^3. Assuming the body takes up about 0.067m^3[2], you're left with 0.35m^3 or 21350in^3. [3] says multiply that by 0.0163 to get 350 litres which then translates to kg of resin. Using GlassCast 50, at 32kg for £450 inc vat, you'd be looking at ~£4900.

(you could also just paint over a few thin layers instead but it wouldn't look as impressive.)

(also you'd need to dry the body out first because the resin would react badly with the moisture.)

>This is about message passing at an abstract level, which is what Alan Kay imagined with Smalltalk.

The merits of Alan Kay's message passing are fine but it is not relevant to this case of the author writing an inappropriate solution because he misunderstood a commenter's feedback.

The "this" in your "_this_ is about message passing at an abstract level" comment seems to only refer to blog article #2 in isolation -- instead of considering how it was provoked by the author's previous misunderstanding.

>You are the one missing the point

You want to lecture me on being wrong but it seems that you are the one jumping into the middle of a conversation without realizing what communications have transpired so far. If you didn't completely read both blog articles and the user comment, you're missing the full context. Let's recap:

The blog author wrote 2 articles.

Blog article #1[1] didn't say anything about "external systems 3rd party API". The blog author himself brought up the issue of dynamic vs static in regards to "hot swapping" code without restarting the system. It was not "external systems". It included an example:

print customers.fetch(customer_id).last_name

At the bottom[2][3] of that blog, a commenter named Samuel Falvo II asks what to do when a broken "customer.last_name" message fails because it wasn't statically checked for syntax errors. The commenter also wasn't talking about "external APIs". He was saying static compile checking helps him find errors early instead of errors later at runtime with an unexpected emergency at 4am.

Blog article #2[4] then responds with an elaborate solution to reconstruct missing data which is a totally different abstraction level from the error scenario the commenter was asking about. This 2nd article introduces an "ETL workflow" that possibly comes from servers of external partners. The 1st article did not.

My top-level comment was explaining to the blog author that he misinterpreted what the angry commenter was asking.

I think we have very different definitions of "a bargain".
So using the library doesn't have a cost?
When time came to replace my XML/XSLT based website by something else, just to get up with the times, I resisted to touch PHP, but in the end having it at my ISP versus the trouble of using something else won.

Nowadays I am able to use PHP 7.x, so I just keep using it there, and suggesting it for the less tech savy friends that want some kind of dynamic website.

Because while I do build sites in Java and .NET, I do accept that they aren´t that easy to set up at most ISPs, and cloud based one click solutions tend to be more expensive.
This might be a deal-breaker not only from the developers' side but also from the business side. If the companies see that a project is well-funded, they can invest their time (maybe their money also?) more confidently. It might become a real marketplace at some point and let (some of the) open-source businesses to focus on their project rather than starting a company and dealing with boring business work.

> why would they create a dependency on an open service (that could disappear at any moment) when they could roll their own?

Because by creating the dependency on an open service and collaborating with them, they help them survive long term and to not disappear at any moment.

Yes, it's nice that "it just works" but sometimes the easiest way of doing something doesn't mean it's the right way. Especially when it comes to hard things like "How do we ensure open source developers can get paid?"
To be honest this could be me, or I'm guessing, a lot of people. It's hard to stay focused when you are not interested in something.

> Then you obviously don't know basic physics.

Ugh, if you're going to just attack me, why not jump to the big guns and call me a shill for the oil company or some other cliche.

> The average temperature is much easier to predict

If you do enough averaging over a long enough period, this can be true. I mean, we can all tell the average position of a double pendulum. I'm guessing you think 1, 10, or 100 years is enough time to average temperature. Try looking at the last 400,000 years and tell me how well you can predict those swings.

> I rather believe that what's behind your statement is that you just don't care what is going to happen in 50 or 100 years.

> 3.8.0b1 is scheduled to be release shortly after the PEP is officially submitted. Since it's improbable that the PEP will pass all stages of the PEP process in time, I propose a two step acceptance process that is analogous Python's two release deprecation process.

This assumes that when the lever is pulled that the conductor would know why it's being pulled.
Ugh, not again! First they introduce a Package Registry that not only splits the ecosystem in two parts but also has no open governance or even open source code. Great.
Now they are doing the same thing with donations. Instead of collaborating with already open platforms (like OpenCollective or LiberaPay), they decide to build their own closed-source platform.

I love that more people are figuring out ways to pay open source developers, but doing it via a closed-source platform they developed on their own, they are effectively saying they don't care about "open development", they just want to be the one-stop for everything open source as to not lose mind-share of developers.

I'd be wary of joining this program and I urge people to get involved with something like OpenCollective instead, which is a open project you can actually contribute to. It also helps that OpenCollective's success is based on it's members success. "GitHub Sponsors" isn't as well aligned with you as a developer, as OpenCollective et al.

Obviously, I'm a bit biased, as I run a project for creating transparent open source infrastructure. But I do think this is a important issue, and I'm getting more and more scared GitHub is out to make open source development more ivory tower-like.
It's similar to colourblindness, in that it's really hard to tell because it's all you've ever known. Your best bet is probably to try an online test and go to see a doctor if it suggests there could be something there.

Yes, it is an issue.

Why would Microsoft prioritize development and improvements of GitHub when they don't earn a profit from it?

When (in the future) Microsoft needs to earn more profits, they have to make a choice.

Either they improve GitHub and get more developers on board with X.

Or, they improve their Cloud Hosting service, which actually improve profits.

Since GitHub is basically just a cost (with the hopeful promise of future returns of developer mindshare) while Azure makes profit, it's much more likely Microsoft will focus on improving Azure before GitHub.

And as a GitHub user, that idea makes me worry.
This is the best thing to have happened to open source since GitHub has launched. Thank you to whomever has internally pushed for it!

Yes, zstandard turned out to be the best option in all our tests on small to really large data (couple of mb to gigabytes filesize).

Well, if you don't follow the obvious advice of storing your state in a S3 bucket... If the idea of storing your state somewhere is so abhorrent for you, you can also tag your resources and import them with Ansible/Bash as per the obligatory CloudFormation workflow. Then your state becomes local-only. That's a pretty useless thing to do for purely ideological reasons, though: storing your state in a cloud-agnostic way is what allows being able to manage a Gitlab repo, a Cloudflare domain and AWS or GCP instances in the same tool. That is what the "multi-cloud" means.

If you are saying a nonsensical argument like "not IaC because it can't rollback" I can say CloudFormation is not IaC because it can't even import a local file to grab some values. Or run external commands

To summarize,

- OSS contributors on GitHub can apply to become "sponsored developer" to accept donations

- Developer sets monthly sponsorship tiers (amounts & benefits)

- GitHub will match upto $5k in donation in Developer's first year (1:1 match)

- GitHub will not charge any fees in the first year

- In the future, they may charge a nominal processing fee

- Currently only individuals can donate to individuals, org/team support (on both sides) to come soon
