Comfy is a store of configurations for deployed environment. It's not recommended to store you local config into comfy, but you could.

If you do so, you have a system of tags. A config version can be tagged and the tag moved.

So, the integration environment can retrieve the config with the tag 'integration', say.
And you can retrieve the latest.

Local: comfy get development
Integration: comfy get development -t integration

Change the integration tag to the latest version :
1. Get the latest config hash with `comfy log development`
2. Set the tag integration to the latest `comfy tag move development integration <hash>`

I like Julia for all of the libraries, the Lisp underneath, however, from the article:

"Many of the encodings are as immutable, purely functional data structures (even in imperative languages), a topic unfortunately omitted from many computer science curricula."

Julia and similar PLs don't express math like APL, J[1], Haskell[2], Scheme[3] or even Clojure can with immutable structures and function composition to name a couple. Sure you can write it in Julia, but I don't think the article is about creating math output in the Latexify.jl example, but how to code these math structures where certain languages can express them out of the box in an easier manner.

It's really hard to give you proper advice without understanding what these side projects are or how many people use them.

It's all about managing risk and reward so it totally depends on how much you are charging, what the product or service is, and how many (and what type of) people are using it.

Forming an LLC that holds all of your side projects isn't a massive expense and it can actually make things a lot easier for you. If your LLC has a bank account and you fund it for expenses and take all revenue through it, accounting will be much easier than interlaced debits and credits in your personal bank account.

Skimping out on legal is a big turn off to investors as well so it depends on whether or not you are trying to grow any of these projects into businesses. LLCs are super flexible structures that can be easily modified later should you need to spin out a project into it's own company, change to C/S corp, or use a series LLC (not all 50 states recognize) to separate assets or liabilities.

Another thing to consider is your personal assets and risk. If you own a home, make good money, or have a sizable amount of assets, spending a few hundred or few thousand to protect them seems logical.

None of this is legal advice, I'm not an attorney.

Indeed. Thanks for putting this more succinctly than I did.

I'd add that it's easier to observe the logical fallacy in the case of being male, because half of people are male, and being male is obvious. The occurrence of the PFC abnormality is much smaller, and we don't tend to see people's brains, so it's much harder to point to the counterexamples.

I agree, people who argue for this approach are good at it and often feel that they are exceptional because of it -- though the real world hardly cares, and therefore it's a self-serving bias imo. You build institutions like these with this sort of bias for a purpose and that is to select a certain type of people to be privileged.
My favorite demonstration of the value of science is scurvy.

Before scurvy was lastingly solved, the cure was discovered at least three distinct times within a century. In every case, the discoverer found a cure (like oranges, lemons, or raw meat) then made an untested assumption about the active agent (like acid, or avoiding tainted meat). They never tested those theories, but simply relied on circumstantial evidence and logic. The resulting treatments like lime juice and better food hygiene conformed to their theories, but did nothing to prevent scurvy.

From the present, it's easy to underestimate the power of the scientific method. We tend to think of it as what happens at universities, or as a format for writing a paper with a hypothesis, data, conclusions, and so on. The mere concept of testing one's theories seems too obvious to be a modern breakthrough. But that simple idea - that a theory shouldn't be accepted until its specific claim has been tested - was regularly ignored as late as World War One. It's hard to blame the Army for insisting on experimental evidence when "traditional medicine" and "statistical speculation" had been leaving soldiers with easily-curable scurvy only 20 years earlier.

This NASA article points something out that is missing from the Forbes article based on the same research: 82% of increased greening in India and 32% in China is due to intense agricultural activity — harvesting multiple crops per year. This does not increase biomass as much as by reforestation. Forests support rich ecosystems and do not use up groundwater unlike intensive farming.
@Klathmon

This is also true of your fallback features. They may be implemented incorrectly in an unknown browser too. But it's not reasonable to assume that. You should assume the feature works, unless the UA is on a blacklist.
You could take the responsibility for grading away from the universities. We do that with school exams in the UK, there are a couple of exam boards that set papers for all schools.
This claim will be hard for anyone to assess without having read and understood Hegel, particularly the incredibly long and dense "Science of Logic." While I haven't read the latter, his interpretation on the surface seems like a gross simplification of something that few scholars agree on, regarding a book that few have read. If Hegel's ontology were as simple as the author described, it would be standard knowledge in how to interpret Hegel, something I would have learned in my college modern philosophy class.

you will take single letter variables from my cold, dead, hands!

I'm more used to math than to code, and I find multiple-letter variables ridiculous when not unreadable.

In the ancient times, mathematicians used to write formulas using latin sentences. Even the simplest arithmetic result occupied a few lines of text. Are you proposing that we go back to that age?

Well, that represents the asymptotic time complexity. So, roughly with an increasing N it increases by log of it. Here is an example of the log(base 2) function growth.

Log(4) = 2,
Log(16) = 4,
Log(256) = 8,
Log(65536) = 16,
Log(4,294,967,296) = 32

Assuming other things remaining unaffected, theoretically that means in a set of 4 million the operation should be about 4 times slower than in a set of 250 elements.

The main reason it was done was because all the manufacturing is in China. All those ships bring things here and it was intended to make the trip back more efficient economically by shipping them back full as well. I'm all for less plastic but this is also just a larger issue of consumerism. We need to buy and ship less but that is a cultural change that seems unlikely (unfortunately).
Yes, India and China may be "greener". But, as the referenced article [0] states: The greening in China is from forests (42%) and croplands (32%), but in India is mostly from croplands (82%) with minor contribution from forests (4.4%). Main driver for greening according to the authors is an increase in food production.

It is not re-forestation as the Forbes' author wants readers to think: Both China and India went through phases of large scale deforestation in the 1970s and 80s, clearing old growth forests for urban development, farming and agriculture. However, it is clear that when presented with a problem, humans are incredibly adept at finding a solution.

The hubris!

This means we actually observe net deforestation, globally, but also in China [1] and India [2] if you look at tree coverage indicators from Global Forest Watch. Global Forest Watch also uses satellite images, from a very similar timeline, so it should be comparable and raise serious doubts on the positive message of the Forbes article. To preserve biodiversity and combat climate change, we need more forests, not just more "green" land.

I tried something along these lines based on the computer algebra system SymPy [1,2]. The syntax is Python so feels a little weird for doing math, but the SymPy function names match very closely to the math verbs like solve, expand, simplify, factor, which is very good for learning.

For example, factoring a polynomial can be done by calling the `factor` function:

>>> factor(x**2 - 5*x + 6, x)
(x-3)*(x-2)

see https://live.sympy.org/?evaluate=factor(x**2%20-%205*x%20%2B...

Suddenly all the boring and fear-inducing math operations are available to you after a few simple calculations in a REPL! That's a huge win if you ask me ;)

The logic is apparently that we can't do progressive enhancement because it would force us to make a second network request, but we can rely on unstandardized APIs that force us to ship polyfills that make our site slow on every other browser that's not Chrome.

Every decision, from progressive enhancement to supporting bleeding-edge features comes with tradeoffs. Youtube is still choosing tradeoffs, it's just choosing them based on what will work best in Chrome specifically.
The Gestapo becoming subordinate to the SS was the result of said rivalry, so it's odd to present that as evidence that there was no rivalry.

Yeah, they are the chief sources of CO2, which plants are known to be quite fond of.
For various reasons the American mindset is more common in less-developed countries. To a degree that's natural - when you're just trying to get your economy off the ground, it makes more sense to get out of the way of business, as opposed to when you have the world's largest and most impactful economy.

The United States is a country that started out in that situation and never totally grew out of it. It's culturally stunted, stuck romanticizing an earlier stage of development instead of growing up. It's a fifty-year-old that refuses to stop acting like he's twenty-one.

Of course, the UK right now is a counter-example to this way of looking at things.

The Missing Documentation for the WireGuard VPN
We have a similar system in Ireland.
You log a call with a regional service and nurse calls you back to assess your case, when she does you are referred to out of hours GP service or the hospital.
The GP service costs €60 for ages 6+ or is free like a regular GP service up to the age of 6. That scheme is to be extended to age 12 over the next three years.
GP is also free for anyone 70+

We have used the out of hours GP service 10+ times over the last three years with a sick toddler, only referred on to A&E once, definitely helps keep A&E free.
When we did go to A&E there is a separate waiting room for young kids to keep them away from the trauma/drunks/crazies.
If you go straight to A&E without a GP referral it costs approx €110, if you have a letter from GP its free.

Our health system is far from perfect but the out of hours GP/referral system and the free kids works for us.
Hmm, I wonder if it's confirmation bias on my end, or just a difference in what pages we each view.
This article touches on some very real issues: grade inflation and the fact that you really can just major-shop until you find one that doesn't really require any effort. However, the author comes off as an extremist by pretending that employers don't pay any attention to things like the degree someone actually got. Someone with an engineering degree from an Ivy League school or Wharton undergrad absolutely remains more impressive than someone with the equivalent GPA in Grade Inflation Studies from the same school.

The most interesting part of all of this, is that when SV companies soft-brag about their high average salaries, they leave out all the contractors contributing significant work.

So instead of the average Google compensation being $144,652 (https://www.infoworld.com/article/3304439/man-or-myth-the-3-...), it could be 30-50% lower if you account for contractors.

But an average Google compensation of $80,000 (for example) wouldn't be a good recruiting tool.
And that $5.2 trillion doesn't include compensation for the 4.2 million people who die every year due to fossil fuel pollution.

I live in a building in Toronto and we don't get charged (directly) for trash. But the building has an organics path on the garbage shoots.

My partner and I started making the effort since then to separate our organics and recycling, etc.

I think we've maybe put a bag or two of actual "garbage" out in the past year or more.

Most things can be recycled—that we use at home anyway. I'm glad we have the compost shoot. That's the thing we put out the most.

Some things that seem like major uphill battles are really just a little mindfulness and a modicum of effort—and they become mindless routine after a short while.
Why not use the watch for this?
I don't consider Marx to be responsible for what went wrong in the USSR, and I think that thinking so is a very poor (and politically loaded) reading of history. And I'll note for the record that the same people who blame Marx for the disasters of the USSR never credit him for the miracle of modern China, where per capita GDP has grown 130x (in constant dollars) over the past 50-odd years.

And back to first principles here. We're not talking about whether Marx is bad; we're talking about whether Hegel is bad, because Hegel's dialectic was fundamental to the thinking of Marx and pretty much everyone who was anyone for the past two centuries of critical thought. And it wasn't just targeted at Marx, either. The broad brush also painted Nietzsche, Heidegger, "existentialism", even Wittgenstein (who was sort of a critical reaction to Hegel) as somehow wrong.

In my shallow, lazy, uncritical mind, this smells a great deal like a political bias masquerading as an idea.

That kind of burnout could also be caused by the element of competition.
The problem is not producing it but pretending to recycle it. If we just buried it in well maintained local landfills, it would effectively never get into the environment and would never be a problem.

You're making a common mistake of thinking that an environmental problem must be solved at all costs. There's no point spending more to solve a problem than the cost the problem will cause. The only reason the environment is important is because it provides value to us humans. We don't need to protect it beyond that. We don't need to ban quarries for breaking ancient rocks into small pieces of gravel. They're permanently destroying the environment, but not a part of it that we have any need to preserve.
Reported facts are no longer actual hard facts as we once knew them. Reporting is just some companies interpretation of a situation so they will influence people so they can continue to make as much profit as possible.

Offtopic - re cookies, the etymology of cookie (or 'magic cookie') as an opaque value is very obscure and has a interesting social side-effect in that it's difficult for average people to get very worked up about websites serving cookies (vs say the more universally understood 'tokens' or 'tracking codes').

The problem is, you can't do this unless every website also "resets" at the same time, because the bad UA detection code will still be out there. The vendors aren't any happier with this situation than we are, but they do it because they have no choice.
