A bit rough, interesting idea
If we can get to another planet the robots will be able to too. I'm actually optimistic that this may lead to less violence - the robots could take out the terrorists with tranquilliser darts or something. It's kinder than blanket bombing or nukes. You couldn't send in human troops with tranquillisers against enemies with heavy machine guns but with drones, you could.
And if you think reincarnation is a load of crap too?

It's not actually really an argument for the non existence of a higher power. It's an argument that if such a higher power exists, it is not benevolent. It's in fact quite malevolent to have created such evil.
Agreed. I think you could make the case for god being a gardener/farmer. I don't think that really fits into most forms of Christianity in aware of.
That's a lot of optimistic handwaving. If it's so easy why haven't we managed to do it in the last 70 years?
I'm working on a command line application which generates and executes randomized patch request against a rest API after looking at a JSON schema provided as input.

I have almost finished the harder parts of it, but I have not been able to work on the final part (the binary with command line flags and recording the patch responses) for a couple of months.

I usually have three instances of IntelliJ open at the same time with large Java projects in them. One I'm working in, another a colleague is asking me questions about, another to lookup some related code, et cetera.

CPU use is negligible and I have plenty of RAM.
I got bitwig because I am a heavy linux user and wanted to start making music.

The software itself works well, it's really great, but with VSTs it's quite tricky. I got a couple to work that explicitly support linux, but for example Serum I couldn't get to work properly.

Recently I decided that it's not work all the hassle, and setup a windows computer again. I want as little friction as possible, because the process of making electronic music is already hard enough by itself.
Mattimeo, the third of the Redwall books by Brian Jacques. Charming, funny and surprisingly action-packed.

Currently reading Northern Lights, the first of the His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman. My first time reading it, great so far.
You just don't create garbage. Object pools and stack variables.

I'm not sure that's a big issue really. The repository is just a database. You're not forced to work on them manually with the low level tools.

There's nothing that would stop you from putting a full blown jira-like UI which interacts with that database. Well... Apart from that UI not existing yet. But in theory, you can have both. With a centralised main head in the same way people use central repository for git.
For the purposes of this discussion, GOTO is a looping construct, because it does allow looping (that is, potentially running forever). As I understand it, the SVG sample does not demonstrate looping, and the parent is saying that SVG does not allow it as far as they know.

The act of “squishing” wouldn’t affect order, so each squished integer would still have two closest neighbors.

The set of rationals, Q, is homeomorphic to their Cartesian product, Q x Q. So any analogy needs to work for that set, too.
An eInk display can refresh much faster than that, it's just that you can't keep refreshing so fast if you want to spend less energy than an LCD would. But you could adjust dynamically depending on the current use.
Nice, always liked RetroArch. I like the PS3-esque interface.
But note that before the Fall, things were supposedly perfect, and some theologians place emphasis on the fact that sin and death entered the world through the actions of one man (Adam), and so did redemption and eternal life through Jesus, another human (fully so, despite having no mortal father and being fully God at the same time - Christianity is weird...)

It's a bit of a struggle to harmonize this with evolution, but Catholics are free to believe in it as long as they also affirm the existence of a historical Adam and Eve that did something to cause the Fall...
Trust me, the world is better off without the sort of music I would make.
I really don't understand how to mistake a bee for a yellowjacket - they look very different, and about the only thing they have in common are that they fly and some bees have a yellowish color that does not look like the bright yellow.

They sound different, they are build quite different, and they fly differently. Just observing bees on flowers for a few minutes every day in the summer and it's obvious, at least it is to me.
A long, long time ago when I was in Primary 7 out teacher was a splendid old chap, just about to retire who had been a Spitfire pilot in WW2.

We read the bible every day - usually the violent and rather unpleasant parts of the Old Testament. I do believe old Mr C might have been teaching us a subtle lesson there which he couldn't do openly - it being a deeply religious community in the north of Scotland.

In the memorable words of Randolph Churchill (son of Winston) after being bet to read the Bible by a well meaning colleague: "Isn't God a shit!".
I once saw a wasp drink an entire drop of white wine, then it ran around on a napkin briefly stopping once in a while, leaving a little wet spot behind. So relatable.
I don’t think I’ve ever read anything as patronising (and wrong) as this comment.

Cities can be great places for kids - you get tons of social skills very early, build knowledge, and make connections that can help you tremendously later in life. There is a reason “country boy” is typically used as a slur. If I could go back in time, I’d force my parents to live even closer to the city centre as possible.

I live in suburbia now and I fear my kids are not going to pick up enough street-smarts.
I don't think the grid is the problem, it just happens that it's very easy in DAWs to make patterns that are very short (e.g. a 1-2 bar loop) and then arrange them in these 1-2 bar units. Very likely that will sound a bit stiff, repetitive and predictable, which works in some genres but not others.

Personally, trying to think in patterns that only repeat at 4-8 bars helped me out avoid that, while still using the grid.
Tidbit I read years ago is that in unequal societies young middle and upper class women often enter university to avoid expectations of marriage by continuing to go to school. Longer you put it off the more power you have.
True, it's not possible because you need to write your code in Swift / Objective-C for iOS and Kotlin / Java for Android. And Nx only supports TypeScript.
Are you including the shadow registers? I suspect EPYCs actually have quite a bit more.

Edit. 8 byte registers * 168 total regs = 1344 bytes, so a) you were and b) guessing it was a VIC20?
Another interesting point from that paper:

"Paradoxically, boys’ overestimation of their competence in science was larger in countries with higher Global Gender Gap Index scores."

That is, the lower the gender gap, the more boys overestimate their science skill.
Plant natives that are suited to your soil type and support bees. Wildflowers might not be good because they generally need less-fertile soil than a tended garden. Also put out bee houses and bird nesting sites, and leave autumn leaf fall in situ overwinter as a place for critters to hibernate.
While climate sure needs attention, Greta is only a marionette. She only "became famous" to promote her mothers book [1] on climate change. Both the book and Greta are driven by a PR bureau [2]. And to be honest that's a disguisting way to use a child for self promotion.

Is it me or I read a while ago that there are vast reserves in the US and other places (accumulated when oil was cheap) and so, a little strike here and there should not be a problem ?

Or is it the price of the "futures" (if I get that concept right) that goes up ?

I just finished Shogun and The Terror one after the other.

The reason I liked these is that I found the dogged determination of the respective captains in the face of adversity (especially in The Terror) inspirational.
I think it's one of the problems with people from the West reasoning about authoritarian countries. You try to evaluate countries that are like 30-100 years behind by the metrics that are relevant for the Western world _today_ (like gender gap, etc.).

The problem with Iran, in the first place is that it is an authoritarian theocracy with no freedom of speech, assembly and association, freedom of religion, right to fair trial, etc. I believe it's quite unreasonable to talk about gender equality, LGBT right and so forth until these are fixed.

Wasps does wonders for gardening, and yellowjackets and hornets are like the generalized guardians. They are extremely efficient at removing pests from the garden.

Last year we had a yellowjacket nest in the garden and they mostly didn't bother us. I had to move my grill, but that was about it. Nobody got stung. They kept all the kale free of cabbage butterfly larvae, and as long as we didn't disturb them in their hunting, there was no problem.
But that goes full circle back to the repercussions criticized by OP.
Pain is a survival reaction, natural feedback to avoid actions that damage/destroy the being. It was proven that even flowers feel a form of pain.

Pain of smaller creatures might not be exactly same as what we experience, but there is no logical reason to think that feeling pain or other self-preservation instincts are absent.

There is no point to think that unless you hear screams and cries all is good and fine.
Part-time, definitely. There are way more part-time positions when working remotely compared to on-site.
Given that there was a large jump and then a quick fall back to lower levels, a lot of it is probably speculators trying to make a quick buck, not actual worries that supply might be threatened.

Remember that the first time the oil price reached 100 USD it wasn't because of actual economic reasons, it was because a trader wanted to go down in history as the first person to buy a barrel for 100 USD.

No idea what a country boy is.

I don't understand how you built social skills quicker than me? how did you build more connections than me and how did they help you later in life?

I lived in a medium sized village near a large town. I went to school like you, I was socialised like you, I left to work in London when I was 19 and now at 36 run the pre-sales practice for one of the worlds largest software vendors.

I can't imagine having to live in the city, can't ride anywhere, have to deal with too many people, no space of my own to grow up, no massive garden with a pool, nowhere near the beach. How can you ride your bike to the lakes with your friends and fishing rods if all you have access to is the underground and trams? How could bike anywhere? How could you just play ball in the street?

I take my 4 year old boy surfing every morning, he plays on my 1 acre property and loves the animals, we swim in our pool most days. I know people from London that didn't even learn to swim and have never seen an animal that wasn't a pet. My 7 year old girl goes to one of the best private schools in the state and is a straight A student, she has many friends and is part of many societies. Some of these things you can recreate in the city, most you cannot.

We moved to Australia and we live in the hinterland / country. I can't imagine a better for for my kids to grow up. What 'street smarts' are they not getting? What street smarts can they not get when I send them to a university in a city?

I see kids heading to the beach to surf with each other all the time, you don't get that in the city. Imagine subjecting your kids to city pollution so they can make some imaginary Connections .

My kids have a cinema room built for computer games, they have a music room where they can make as much noise as they want. They have learnt responsibility due to being in charge of the chickens that live in my garden. You learnt to ride the bus... my kids learnt to ride the bus too..

Maybe things are different in America? Maybe your country boys are not like our. Maybe your countryside is different?
Heh looks like you're exactly the kind of person described in the first sentence. ;-)

I'm astonished how many people need to paint the world black and white in order to function. Chinese people have to be all evil and bad so I can feel better about my home country.
let it go.

We have a call with the companies before approving their account. If they look unreliable, we won't approve their account.

We also follow up with the companies and the people they have hired to check if everything is going well.

So far, we haven't had problems. We will introduce company profiles soon, with remote info about the companies (e.g. how many remote vs. non-remote people work). We will probably also introduce some free built-in insurance for both parties as we scale.
Pi hole, and similar, and block all other DNS, would probably be a good start.

Tackling on edge firewall, looking what goes through, and blocking it there is second step (but since a lot of it is going to various cloud providers and cloud flare) this is often not an option
> With languageserver and the other kind of refactoring daemons available for a whole host of languages nowadays these editors are much closer to IDE's than ever before.

Most likely true, though i think the "I" part of "IDE" is woefully ignored and (at least to me) is much more important than a hodgepodge of barely related programs strung together with duct tape.
I mean - I can see why you would say that but Instant Ink has a free tier, and I actually am OK with selling my infrequent printing data for 15 pages a month + free ink so that I have a home printer for the few occasion when I need it.

There is no minimum usage level, and the fact they might know that some airlines require I print a boarding pass every few months, or some government for needs to be printed, filled out and posted - that's really not so bad for free (+ data).

I'm OK with them receiving that data.
Back in the day I approached Sandstorm by email and asked if they could provide an Enterprise/Server edition of Sandstorm (hosted apps with stable/customizable endpoints, authentication and stuff).

I directly communicated to them that we are ready to shell out something like $2,000 per license.

The answer by Kenton surprised me. He told they are aiming to get the consumer market first. Which is a bit odd, given the server is where the money is.

Enterprises of all kinds already have their hierarchies of customers. Moreover, they are in a constant need of a simple but highly efficient server platform (see Kubernetes of a future). It would be a much easier sell to them.

> Like literally any single poor person in the world, that money will go first and foremost to securing basic life necessities (food, shelter, water, medical bills), and the rest is gonna get reinvested in their local town or village (either by starting a business or by paying for education).

Just because you solve their main issue it doesn’t mean that money will be “reinvested” by an uneducated person. You can still have grants for people with ideas, but handing out bills in villages isn’t going to change their lives.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but some people are going to make a lot of money from this. Who makes the most? Unclear. Even Saudi Arabia benefits, if it results in persistently higher prices and greater geopolitical support.
It's probably safe to say this applies to most westerners, and not just limited to totalitarian regimes, but developing countries in general. I woudln't say it's the majority, but a lot of people seem to run around there thinking they're great white saviors with infinite wisdom.
That's interesting feedback, thanks for sharing!

With the rest of my team, we do daily stand-up on a video call - just to know each other more, and to understand each other better. Probably we will switch to fewer video calls as the team becomes more mature (e.g. once a week).

If others have feedback on this topic, it would be helpful to read it.
I feel like I need a PhD in configuring vim to do that stuff. The fact vim has been around forever and still hasn’t caught up with an IDE for ease of use doesn’t convince me at this point to use it for coding Java. Eclipse/IntelliJ is simple download and everything ready to go, git integration, all kinds of auto complete , debugger, etc... you hit the ground running pretty much. Can’t say the same about vim for Java, but think it’s fantastic that progress is being made to close the gap. Now where’s the simple one line config command to get me started ;) ....
Automatic blocking doesn't work cos they are constantly coming up with new ways to bypass blocks.

Here's what I use. There's a free tool called Windows Ultimate Tweaker. It'll help with basic settings.

Next, Du Meter - shows network traffic right on taskbar. If I'm not actively using the internet and Du Meter shows 1MB/s, I get suspicious.

Finally BWMeter. I'll say it's little snitch for Windows. It'll alert you any time an application tries to access the internet. You can allow/forbid temporarily or permanently.

They are all light on resources. BWMeter's UI isn't great but it gets the job done.

They're just high energy particles that interact with the CCD cameras typically used for astronomy. You get a bright point or particle track, as the particle interacts with the CCD producing electrons. This is worse for space telescopes, as there are more cosmic rays in space.

> I'm not sure that's a big issue really. The repository is just a database.

in large non-tech companies i see a pattern where the company adopts standard open source tools arguably better suited to open source distributed development (many small git repos, github/gitlab) -- but then there can be pressure to present information for ease of central governance and control

at $current_job there's pressure for 100-200 people to use a single jira project so auditing and risk can be done via that one jira project, whereas at the same time there are an increasing number of git repos containing code for different systems (or ci/cd/build scriptery for different systems)

the jira project everyone is forced to use has about 100 different states a ticket can be in (many synonyms) and about 30 different custom relationships defined between pairs of tickets - so it is challenging to sanely encode or track the state of tickets (lowest-common-denominator meaning that it cannot be a fair approximation of the reality of an individual team's process) while also being absurdly slow.

i am not quite sure what my take away is but it is completely non obvious how putting the issue tracking db in a single git repo would materially help any of this. a sufficiently entrenched bureaucracy can destroy the value of any technology...
Speaking of such things a friend of mine sold me on His Dark Materials by describing it as a world where "dark matter is original sin".
