They do need maintenance. Python updates cause code or tests to need updating due to syntax or other changes.

Hi Devon, I think this is a great idea.

speaking as someone working for a small company with the ability to sponsor projects of interest, could you evaluate the possibility of assigning rewards to specific milestones? for example, if I'm using a particular FOSS library and see that the maintainer has set up certain functionality as a long-term milestone could I attach a sort of carrot to a particular milestone to provide incentive to continue development?

This would be in conjunction with standard sponsorship, of course. But, for some developers, it's easier to find the motivation to complete a task if there is a defined reward waiting at the end of it.

it doesn't even have to be new functionality; it could simply be implementing a testing protocol to meet internal corporate requirements, or reorganizing old code to fit new standards; stuff that's necessary but boring and shoved to the bottom of the pile for a hobby project. This might really open up the corporate pursestrings instead of relying on individual contributions.
It depends on the implementation. In some cases, where arrays are required to be stored in contiguous memory, appending to an array will result in a copy anyway since the entire contents will have to be moved to a new, larger block of memory.

I was on Vyvanse for a while and found it somewhat helpful, but it was causing me to grind my teeth and that was an unacceptable side effect. Sadly, I haven't found an effective substitute so far. I need to try exercise, I currently don't get much and I know it's helpful. Meditation is also an option.

My favorite thing about analog watches vs. a smartphone is that there's no opportunity to get pulled into some push notification and forgetting why I was even checking the time to begin with. I've been trying to pay more attention to where I place my attention lately, and having a decent analog watch means I can forget where my phone even is, instead of having to be disciplined every time I interact with my "smartphone".

I agree, importing resources is a limited use-case. However... it's one I find myself in more often than I would like. Reality is often disappointing. At least, with the companies I've work(ed) with.

That said, I don't think CloudFormer does the same thing. I haven't used it before, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but to me it looks like it takes existing resources and generates a CloudFormation template out of them. But then you're still expected to upload that template and create a new stack, with all brand-new CloudFormation managed resources—is that right?

So for example, CloudFormer for an RDS instance would probably be a no-go.

In the Terraform case, after you've imported resources, there's no need to re-create them. There's the question of if what's in the template will match what the resources actually are, but there are also tools to generate Terraform templates straight off resources.

One unfortunate aspect of this is that many upper class/upper middle class people I’ve met can become insane with rage if you point out that their self-assessment is wrong. Eg a mediocre student with successful academic parents may dismiss something as trivial, and when you ask him if he can prove the thing he just said is trivial, he’ll start throwing his arms in the air and yelling and stomp out of the room (personally seen more than once).
The type of personalized ads you describe only trigger if the user has clicked on the "allow personalized ads" button. If they did not only non-personalized things happen this is things what the website is about and course location (city or zipcode) (the latter is not personalized information as they lawyers explained to me because "it can't identify a person").

No, it’s highly dependent on the countries involved. When you apply for the second citizenship, that country knows about your first citizenship. They can decide to force you to choose one. And the first country may or may not allow you to give up that citizenship. As an example, you can read about dual citizenship in Europe here: https://m.dw.com/cda/en/dual-citizenship-in-europe-which-rul...

You will see that the rules differ by country.

> I don't agree with your point that the command line is how computers work.

I said no such thing. My point was that, if one wants to program computers, I would think one would want to be good at their job and delve deep into how their code makes computers do what they do. Showing no interest in learning the command line or the shell makes me question their interest and desire.

This... doesn't make much sense. An open-source license (one that is actually recognized as such by OSI[0]), means that anyone can fork the code and contribute to it at the very minimum. The only way to stop this would be to use a non open source license (or none at all, making it effectively source-available), but nobody would want to donate to someone making only source-available or closed-source projects.

The reality is that people would just have to choose, unfortunately.

I've had CloudFormation fail to roll back plenty of times, though never in a situation where it actually mattered.

I've never had Terraform "forget" resources or disallow me from deleting them (unless I requested that). Maybe those are bugs that've since been fixed?

Mrs. Lindquist (whose purposes were mostly charitable and religious) published on a private home page personal data about her colleagues, including telephone numbers and information about a coworker’s injured foot and medical leave. This case raised the question if a private home page accessible to only those who have the address is permitted under one of the exclusions (household activity). The European Court of Justice ruled that it is not.

> Tests are not automatically run and centrally reported as part of the installation process.

I _hate_ this working on Java/Maven projects. Why do I need to run all the tests in order to install dependencies? The tests should have been run at _packaging_ time. I'm installing binary dependencies, why should I not trust that they have been tested?

These are fundamentally separate concerns. If you're worried about the robustness of your dependencies, review them first.

> There is no good heuristic for picking one package over the other when they occupy a similar problem space. This is mostly a cultural problem, the community's efforts are lackluster.

Stars on Github? Issues opened vs closed? Stack Overflow? The community is active in all sorts of places and it's not that hard to get a feel for the prevailing best tool for a given job. It just takes a little effort. The community's responsibility is to maintain those parts which they have created, not give you recommendations.

> virtualenv is not installed by default

python -m venv

> Semiautomatic packaging tools (e.g. pypi into rpm)

If you want to package your application and its dependencies as an OS package, that's fine. Do it as a single unit and isolate it from the rest of the system. We have venv (or pyenv if you need a different version of Python) to solve this.

I've experienced every headache there is with Python packaging. It's been bad, it is now better but still rather quirky, but it does require some domain knowledge. If you know how to use it, you will rarely experience serious problems.

It reminds me of cicadas, an insect with long life cycles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada#Life_cycle

> Some cicada species have much longer life cycles, such as the North American genus, Magicicada, which has a number of distinct "broods" that go through either a 17-year or, in some parts of the region, a 13-year life cycle. The long life cycles may have developed as a response to predators, such as the cicada killer wasp and praying mantis. A specialist predator with a shorter life cycle of at least two years could not reliably prey upon the cicadas.

There's also an evolutionary theory behind why these are prime numbers: https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-cica...

How does a three-hour work day make sense for anyone who isn't wealthy?

In a lot of the world we have what are, in the short term at least, zero sum games.

An example would be housing in a place like SF or London (and seemingly creeping down the scale as time goes on).

If Person A works three hours a day, Person B is going to work six and end up with twice as much as you. If they can't do it at one job, they'll take two.

Low paid individuals already do this, they'll have multiple jobs because they don't get enough hours at any of them.

In the current situation - A will be living in student-like conditions, or homeless, and the B that works six hours will have a flat or house to themselves.

Forecast that out a few years or decades and A is in poverty whilst B has established wealth via savings and investments.

It feels like one of those ideas that would work if there were less scarcity in the environment.
GitHub free is a loss leader for GitHub enterprise. We have our own servers where I work that we pay a fair amount to GitHub. It is pretty much like Github.com, but our own company domain in the middle. We don't always have the latest version, but we are not far off.

If there weren't people using the free version and wanting those features to our propitiatory workflow we wouldn't have known about GitHub much less bought it.

Yes, and just like today that was stupid. It was just a lot less common than today's Electron bullshit. Hell, there were games that used native widgets.

One of the big complaints about Java used to be that it didn't use native widgets and consequently looked out of place, but nowadays that is basically every application.

It's ridiculous.
Yes, this is very common.

But there are also many people who use Common Workflow Language (https://www.commonwl.org/) for this purpose.

CWL allows for workflow portability between execution engines. The open source engine my team creates (Arvados - https://arvados.org) is ideal for large-scale processing work.

We store, process and manage petabytes of genome data with it, and execute workflows that span hundreds of simultaneous compute nodes.
The police are really friendly.

After the morons started driving vans into crowds and attacking them with knives they stepped up armed officer patrols at busy times in my local city center.

My stepson was frightened as he'd never seen anyone wandering around with a gun before so I took him over and said hello and he was asking the copper all the awkward questions a young kid would :).

After that he started waving at them (and they have always waved back).

It's sad we have to have heavily armed officers on foot patrol but by and large they are damn good at their job.

Also the criteria for been an armed officer is quite strict, you have to be a full officer after probation (2 years) and a volunteer and physically fit then you get extra training.

> I will not be using github sponsors for my open source projects...

Why not? There's no shame in asking people to support your work if they are benefiting. In fact, some of the people using your projects might be making money from your work. To you it's about purity, to me it's about you letting yourself be exploited.
Vanilla emacs without config and plugins, started as a terminal application is a simple editor, just the same as vim. Yes.

But that is entirely besides the point.
The parent was outraged how developers are unlikely to use only simple text editors. And the phrase he was taking an issues with didn't say that emacs is a simple editor either. So you're either willingly misinterpreting everything or just unable to read and understand simple sentences.

Rocketry is just plain difficult and expensive.

Consider the "Tyranny of Rockets" problem: if you want to send a rocket up 1 km, you need X fuel. But to get to 2 km, you need way more than 2X fuel- because you first have to carry all that extra fuel up 1 km, which takes more energy/fuel, before you can use it to go the other km. And if you want 3 km up... well, you get the idea. It's exponential in cost.

Then the problem of the fuel itself. It has to be something super-energy-dense: lots of energy (velocity) for the least mass. The most super energy dense substances are usually used to make bombs, so basically you're building a metal tube with explosives inside and hoping that you can direct the explosion correctly such that your rocket goes up.

And then you have to make sure your payload- in this case some sensors to prove you actually went up that high- have to be lifted (mass) and not break. In the case of this team, their previous rocket probably did reach space but the sensors weren't working so they have no evidence!

If you want to really learn this stuff, play the game "Kerbal Space Program". It's not accurate in any sense, but it gives you the instincts of why and how rocketry and orbital mechanics work.

It is actually, if you go to instagram's website and view source, there's a script tag containing a massive JSON payload with the response from their graphql API which contains allllll the data for the page - this includes some information that's not displayed on the page, which sometimes includes email address and phone number. I had to scrape instagram for a school project and stumbled upon this - I was planning to parse the html but if you just take out that script tag as a JSON object you have all the page's data in an object for you already.
You can describe any software that way.

Is this the embrace, extend, extinguish method at work? Introducing a feature that would likely not translate to significant income boost, only to widen the appeal of the free tier? There are plenty of similar sites like others have already mentioned, surely GitHub could've just helped them integrate better instead?

Insteaf of developing this feature, maybe GitHub could've spent more time enhancing their issue tracker to be able to fit more complex workflows if necessary? There's always opportunity cost that should be considered when working on new features for such a large userbase.
