There is a difference between accepting discrimination, or trying to enforce antidiscrimination. Make such things open, talk and discuss about it, yes! But when you discriminate to counter discrimination for example, than I believe something went wrong.
They are currently on Phabricator if I'm not mistaken.

While it has plenty of features, it's not as user-friendly to use as Github or Gitlab. It can also be confusing at times.

I'm glad they're moving to Gitlab and I hope it'll bring some new contributors.
> How would something that is good for plant life be bad for life on the planet?

Because it's only "good for plant life" in the very long (geological) term. In the short and medium (again, geological) terms it's a significant upheaval which is good for pretty much nothing.

> Virtually all modern plants grow at higher rates right up to 1200PPM. I'm not sure how taller trees and taller grasslands would affect us negatively.

The 1200 PPM CO2 and associated effects would do that, especially in the short-term, it would take tens of thousands of years[0] for new ecological equilibriums to be reached during which the entire web would be broken.

> Presumably, more plant life means more animal life

It would mean very different animal life. The intermediary period would be mass deaths across the board.

[0] at the very least, could be millions depending on the scale of disruption, it took ~2My for the ecosphere to stabilise after K–Pg, and a further ~8My for it to recover pre-K-Pg levels of diversity. Local disruptions are easily resolved as species can migrate from neighbouring non-disrupted ecosystems but global disruptions (of the entire ecosphere or of a very isolated ecosystem) not so.
My guess is that even if a photo is secure within Whatsapp once that photo is displayed on the screen of your phone then it's available to Android to scan. Yes, that's a creepy thought and not only that but presumably such a function would be using quite a bit of the phone's battery to be doing this continuously.

It's not clear though why all this stuff would be going to Switzerland particularly.

If you do this with perfect knowledge and both sides playing optimally, I believe that just ends up being the popular vote, so the democrats win. Whoever has the popular vote simply has more people to shuffle around.

I suppose what you mean instead is that each side gets one round, and the new goal is for the democrats to create a distribution which the republicans cannot win by moving people around.

I believe that ends up being identical to the knapsack problem since you now simply have the democrats wishing to maximize their margin in each state based on its number of EVs; in fact, I think that's an even more straighforward knapsack problem than the one in the article since we don't have to take the complement.

Perhaps you meant something else entirely different, in which case I don't think you described it clearly enough.
It's probably not technical, this can be bypassed by put the correct IP address into the hosts file.

What's made me angry is their lack of transparency.

I’m of the opinion that Sysadmins who don’t know how to code are rather ineffective.

Not much separating you from a help desk tech.
Exactly. I worked at a few smaller but established FinTech companies delivery Trading Systems to banks, hedge funds, etc that had built their own unique systems written in C++ for concurrent applications. These systems were battle tested but they were not open-sourced and anyway they could not easily be re-purposed.
So the solution is to what, just look away and shrug ?

It's a process, you move goal posts one tiny step at a time and eventually it will become less and less acceptable.
That is correct. Wind energy is at 1.7 percent in our energy usage. But due to the high density of people and the ageing population we have a high amount of NIMBY.
Yes "avoid learning anything new" is a bit weird.

There are some things that are relatively easy to learn, and would make it so much easier on you. How, as a poor programmer, can you afford not to learn them ?
>Big tech firms are desperate for more women.

I can't talk about everyone's experience, but this is true in a "We desperately want to have more women", but not true in the sense of "We're willing to address the systematic reasons women don't join our company". It doesn't matter how much you advertise on a website for women if you're advertising a job with no maternity benefits, or one of your engineers remarks "Oh! Is this our new HR lady?" when you're showing the prospective employee around the office.

I think they also have a Bugzilla, and hopefully they'll move away from that too. (Not because bugzilla is bad, it's just oldschool and makes no sense to keep issue tracking separate.)
Your comment reads like climate change denialism, reading the parents comment on yours I'm not entirely sure that's what you meant, so I invite you to clarify your position.
You are implying (hopefully inadvertently) that the scientific consensus about global climate change does not “stand up to the scrutiny of the scientific method”.

This is a radical and extremely dangerous position, which is primarily promoted by sociopathic industries profiting at the expense of global ruin, along with members of the public who they have successfully deluded through a very large-scale long-term propaganda effort.
> Get the payload off from library structures to your own data structures ASAP,

I don't understand, doing this step is exactly why you need to have a library such as the one which is being discussed here. There's no in-language way in C++ to go from a string that looks like `{ "foo": [1,2,3] }` to `struct { int foo[3]; }`.
Cultural history of a self-referential tweet
My girlfriend worked as a weaving technician and she said the H&M stuff got much worse over the past decade and subjectively it is true. The stuff literally disintegrates if you have it in the drier to often. Sadly enough this is also true for the men’s wear.

I certainly try to spend a little more and get quality stuff. Second hand stores can also be great because you can find great quality stuff that feels better after the 20th wash than the H&M stuff feels fresh out of the store.

I have been using Arch Linux for 5+ years exclusively and I don't plan to change that. There have been a few issues over time, but overall it meets all my needs. Even video editing is fine with Kdenlive, Cinelerra GG or OpenShot. Gaming support improved with DXVK and Lutris. There is VSCodium IDE and also webapps are popular. Unless you must use SW like Photoshop, there is little reason to use Windows anymore... Just check HW compatibility when buying a new HW (e.g. printer, scanner support) and you will be fine.
more consolidation. at least its competition for github. I could see IBM/Redhat acquiring Gitlab at this rate.
most studies show that diversity leads to increased productivity and innovation. it actually reduces the cost of doing business significantly. this is the only reason big corporates are doing it as they are purely driven by their bottom line
I've always used 100vh (or just over) to ensure my footer is always at the bottom of the page. I assume this is fine still?
That is a false equivalence. To take it to the extreme, water is the base of life on earth. So adding an extra 2km of water on earth's surface couldn't possibly be bad for life, right?

And it wouldn't necessarily. The thing most of us are concerned with, is to preserve our ecosystem as we know it. Part of it is bebause we know it can sustain us (selfishly).

Another part is, fast changes are hard to adapt to, and fast changes in the environment have already sparked multiple mass extinction events.

And ecosystems are complex and interlinked. They are flexible to an extent, but something that's good for part of the ecosystem isn't necessarily good for the rest; it's easy to have it all collapse (this is documented, as we have witnessed multiple local ecosystem collapses over the years, and it's quite simple to imagine).

Of course, what you say is also true. But, for instance, how do the same plants grow in warmer temperatures? With less water? Without the usual organic life in the soil?

Our ecosystems are not so resilient once we stress them too much, too quickly. Our current way of life is just irresponsible. Let's stop burying our heads in the sand, and come up with rationalizations that arise from cognitive dissonance (which I suspect is what drove you to write this post).
I am perfectly comfortable judging people on the basis of the actions they willingly carry out. People who are at absolutely zero physical risk from the people they are directly and personally responsible for killing are morally culpable in my view, and I am not obliged to care about them.
they were ejabberd when they started up ;)
I agree with the author about the definition he gives to "long".

I think it's subjective anyway. Notre-Dame or the Sagrada Familia were / are being built in more than a hundred years, so the dozen of years of Apollo could be qualified as short in comparison.

When reading "long", it can only be subjective so there is no point of arguing.
As one of the comments below the post mentions, `html, body {height: 100%}` should work just fine.
What the npm ecosystem really needs is something like the distinction between Ubuntu's "main" and "universe" repositories, so that you have a smaller subset of known-good packages with harmonized transitive dependencies, stronger centralized curation, a lot more direct scrutiny, tighter control over versioning, and some party that is responsible for addressing vulnerabilities and ensuring appropriate maintainership. If you could rely on that for core functionality and only needed to go outside of it for the long tail of more specialized things, it would be a lot cleaner and safer than what we do today.

Linux distros have many, many years of experience curating packages at scale. It is crazy to me that the node community just totally disregards all of the best practices learned by the Linux distros in favor of practices that are lazy and unambiguously dangerous.
>Total anonymity seems to always lead to a cesspool like 4chan.

4chan is a collection of boards, and not all of them are cesspools. The ones focused on niche hobbies tend to fare better.

Of course, abrasive discussion is still common. But one man's cesspool is another man's hot spring.
Plants as a Service
Living without oil is definitively possible, we did it for thousands of years. On the other hand, there's no evidence that "adaptation" to continually rising CO2 concentrations is possible.

If attention is achieved by tuning out other stimuli, could an attention deficit also come from an overeager filter tuning out also the target of the attention?

As a child I was a voracious reader, often reading a book a day. I remember many times when the situation would allow it turning on both the television and the radio, both with sound on, to create a 'distraction field' that let me 'cocoon' in the reading.

I always thought it could have been just masking distractions like 'strange noises' in the house that would cause one to have to pay attention, like some people use white noise, but could it be in this theory's model that I was putting load on the 'filters' so as to prevent them catching the desired attention target, the text I wanted to focus on?
Phabricator is pretty good. I haven’t built serious software using Gitlab, but I have using both Github and Phabricator in various mixtures, and I think there’s a credible case that the world needs more Phabricator. YMMV.
I had three peers in my entire engineering classes like that. Two became PhDs, one has changed fields and applied himself rapidly.

I wasn't like them, but that ability to understand on a fundamental level, not forget, and then very quickly tackle more and more complex problems so fast was like a superpower. It took me much much longer, without the detailed understanding.
I'm not sure you've established cause and effect here. Theres plenty of dirty money around, that hasn't made it socially more acceptable.

What is your proof, that gender and age has zero relevance?

I believe, that yes, for example women of a certain age, have a high statistical chance of getting pregnant soon (or already are pregnant). That is very relevant. As they will suddenly be not avaiable anymore for quite some time. While the employer still hase obligations to them (don't know about US, but definitely in germany).

Now yes, the correct solution can't be to just exclude women of that age or prefer man. But the reality is, that this is happening a lot. And it sucks and is a hard problem for society in general, but I don't believe the mantra helps to exclaim the problem does not exist.
Curious - how much impact we would have on global warming if each and every car currently running is electric? Given that most of the electricity is provided by fossil fuels.

Disagree an the conclusion that it'll be niche. A big chunk of consumers will be fine with big cheap space with writes that fall off a cliff if you write too fast.

Eg I could use that for a steam library. My Internet can't keep up with 80 MBs anyway

And all those Facebook machines out there won't care either
Whatsapp also had multiple patches to Erlang VM, backported FreeBSD drivers and code etc. etc.

Do not assume you'll be able to build your own Whatsapp just because of Erlang.
>Since then H&M has caught on like wildfire taking over the market Forever 21 once had. They do a lot of the same, but their clothes are even cheaper (why?) and in my current wardrobe my favorite clothes have come from H&M. I'm afraid the same fate will come to H&M that has come to Forever 21. Or maybe H&M will learn from F21's mistakes. Only time will tell.

That's a rather weird characterization in my opinion... H&M stores in roughly their current form have been around a lot longer than Forever 21. H&M is also 4-5 times the size of Forever 21 by revenue.

> Plants respond immediately to higher CO2 in artificial greenhouse environments.

Cool I'm very happy for your environmentally controlled greenhouse. Outside the greenhouse, CO2 levels affect more than just plant growth.

When the entire climactic pattern and of an area changes, which plants (and animals) can thrive in it also changes, the old ecosystem is destroyed and it takes time for a new stable ecosystem to establish itself.

And the faster the original disruption the more difficult the transition is.
Are there more details on why they specifically have chosen to move? Maybe there were some discussions in some public mailing lists?

10% faster growth could easily mean 10% fewer nutrients per kilo of food.

"We know unequivocally that when you grow food at elevated CO2 levels in fields, it becomes less nutritious"

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ask-the-experts-d...

Rising CO2 means reducing performance for humans and other animals. Not a huge problem if you're an agricultural worker working fields near sea level. For those in offices, cities and especially at higher elevations it's simply going to increase the chances of problematic concentrations.
It happens to me too, but I achieve maximum productivity during a flight. I though about several aspects that make the flight so productive.

- There are just 3 roles and are very clear: pilots, stewardess and passanger.

- As a passenger nobody expects anything from you, (perhaps just opening the emergency door in case of an unlikey event), not even to get work done, after all you were flying.

- There are 0 surprises (in 99.99% of the flights) so you can very well rely on what's going to happen.

- It has a limited time frame, and you can't do anything to accelerate it, you surrender to that.

- It's noisy, but kind of white noise that is bearable with noise cancelation, 95% people don't feel like talking.

- There is no internet in the airlines I use, nor mobile signal.

- There is a scheduled break for food and drinks.

- People can see what you are doing in the computer, so subconsciously there is some social signaling.

[Edit] A bit of speculation:

- The oxygen and temperature in the cabin, might be better or more constant than in your room? I'm not sure about this, I'd love to know.

So I think different environments come with different limitations, and different limitations create different "games".

Think what's the "game" at home, much more is possible, self-imposed limitations will require more energy or training than those created by the environment.

Someone should create a co-working that reproduces the cabin flight conditions inland, but propably people will find all kind of excuses to jump out the plain :D.
H&M is much, much bigger than Forever 21. Forever 21 barely exists out side of North America, but H&M can be found everywhere. I mean everywhere. That may be a factor in how cheap they can be - The scale of the business.

They didn't care what it was written in. They would've spent it on Whatsapp even it was written in PHP (like Slack). They paid for users and market penetration.
Phabricator also recommends a whole different workflow than Github/Gitlab with their PR ones. But tbh the task management part of Phabricator is much-much cleaner just because of their Tag system.

But yes, I agree with you, if you use Phab as a code-review or source code hosting platform, it's pretty confusing.
I've been in multiple life and death situations thanks, and I am acutely aware of the complex calculus of war. I don't think drone warfare should be used against civilian targets, military ones are OK.

If you want to assassinate people outside of regular military conflict, do it in person.
It doesn't really make sense to refer to the 'side' of a black hole itself, but I'd guess they mean 'close to the plane of its accretion disk'?
Right, because in the past we were building first stages which had to be optimised for operations in the lower atmosphere, and upper stages which had to be optimised for vacuum. Hence the Saturn V had an RP-1 powered first stage and Hydrolox second stage.

But the raptors on the second stage have to operate efficiently in a vacuuum, but also work well and sea level for the landing. So even taking Mars out of the equation (which we really shouldn't, but just for sake of argument), it's requirements are quite different to anything we've built before.

For me, using pure git is fine when working on solo projects. The benefits of such services is when there are many developers in the same project. Gives a good overview of issue reports, what commits are linked to what issues, easy "pull request" overviews/quick reviews without checking out branches etc. It's more about the social and less about the source control for me
Agreed. I wasn't describing the problem clearly at all, it is just a rough idea. Now, I agree that the problem is only interesting if we keep some constraints, a) at least as to how people can move and possibly also on b) what information people have on the strategy of the opposing team, as well as c) how teams can coordinate among their own members. Another fun constraint would be to model mixed democrate/republican households of different sizes that can only move together.
In the server room next to my office I have a air cleaner/fan/filter so that I do not have to clean the servers from dust as often. It will ramp up if it detects dust or smell. It will for example ramp up if someone farts nearby which is quite funny. I however have social anxiety, and when I'm on a phone call, or just thinking about talking to someone I don't like, it will also ramp up. I wonder what this smell does to someone's subconscious when I meet them in person ...
Probably a rather small impact. On the other hand, replacing all energy consumption but transportation with carbon free alternatives isn't enough either.

Global warming doesn't have a simple solution. We need to attack a large number of problems simultaneously if we want a chance to prevent catastrophe.
