The overview of a bigger repository looks kinda like a hairball, but the ui lets dig deeper, and filter the graph by "code areas" (paths) or organizations.

I was thinking about a few use cases like these that come first to my mind:

- for open source - assessing if a framework (repo) might have a bus factor problem. Take Vue https://bit.ly/2nVxsh5 and React https://bit.ly/31njWR3 . It is easy to see that if Evan for any reason drops Vue then it might be a problem

- I imagine a bus factor is even a bigger problem also for closed source projects

- for developers - quickly finding experts in a some area of the project (especially a bigger one with few 100s developers). The ones more connected are also more likely to answer your questions - eventually they are well connected for a reason.

- for community managers - well each open source project is a community and this is its visualization - so yeah you usually know the top contributors in the community but there might be more people that you might try to involve and engage more in the project. The tool lets you browse the connections in the repository and gives you more social context.

- for non-technical managers / hr - well... they have hard time browsing github as it's full of code (of course it is). This gives them another perspective and insight how works get done within a project (open or close sorce). Though I am not super sure if showing a network is more friendly than showing a code, but that is a common way of showing social structures in sociology for instance - so yeah humanities area.

But maybe showing last 30 days of collaboration would untangle the hairball and give more actual info - this is something I working on now - and your comment tells that this might be important.

Thank you for your feedback. If you have some thoughts on the use cases I wrote or others please share. Thank you!

Just a reminder: you still have to read the preupgrade stuff before and do the manual file deletion stuff afterwards even if you do sysupgrade. Most will need to do the pkg_add -u after all that. Here is the link (I always have to look for it):

Awwww your poor little tastebuds :((((
when you eat and drink acid is produced that eats away at enamel.. and when you brush your teeth it also brushes away some enamel.

The reason your teeth still have enamel is that they are constantly being remineralized with minerals (including calcium) in your saliva being deposited on the top surface of the tooth.

If you consume less calcium, less calcium will be in your saliva, and that’ll slow that process down, while erosion continues normally (leading to sensitivity and eventually cavities)

if the problems he’s referring to are sensitivity (not related to gum disease), and he wasn’t getting enough calcium without milk, it’s quite possible that milk (calcium) reduced the sensitivity.
> It's worth noting that traditionally, actual insurance runs at a loss or break-even, most of the profits tend to come from investment.

I hadn’t considered that. It sounds like another reason why insurance is broken. If you have two options, $100 premiums and $100 cost; versus $1000 premiums and $1000 cost; the net gain on premiums vs cost is the same, but the investment income over the interim will be higher when the total amount of money in the system is higher.

I would be interested to see the average premium price compared to total investment funds across different geographies and times

That is not my position. That is what I assumed the parent's position was.
I remember reading a 3-5 page novel outline that Arthur C Clarke published in one of his short story collections. It was dull, but an interesting insight into his process. I can't seem to find a reference to it now.
*Industry groups oppose such measures. “U.S. airlines are committed to reducing carbon emissions even further,” said Carter Yang, a spokesman for the airline industry group, Airlines for America. “That effort would be harmed, not helped, by proposals that would siphon away into government coffers the very funds needed to continue investing in new, more fuel-efficient aircraft, sustainable alternative aviation fuels,” and other innovations, he said.

The "lining government coffers" approach is tired and obvious.

Fuel efficiency standards for automobiles demonstrably reduce car emissions. Fuel efficiency standards for airplanes can drive down emissions as well.

The air travel industry is predicated on taking loans against society's future environmental health for profits today. If they poured their research into looking at truly low or zero emission options they could easily argue for exemptions to emissions-based taxing and clean up the competition at the same time.

It should be a race to be green, not a race to protect the green they're making on existing business models.

Airplanes for such long distance flights already have crew rest areas. Here's an article that talks about the ones for the 787:

Yes.

Now if you use human language to document your functions (methods) that is not a problem, but too often I see something like:

public class BookStore {
...

/**
* @param book The book.
* @return The price.
*/
public static float getPrice(Book book) {
return book.price()
}
}

No shit sherlock! I admit that this is a contrived example, but you get my point.
>Flying is a stupid symbolic focus as a "luxury" if you are talking about airlines instead of your own private jet. It has better passenger mileage than cars but worse than a fully loaded bus.

Except you generally aren't taking a car or bus across the country, or to another continent, multiple times a year because you want to check out this zoo or that beach or go attend your friends exotic destination wedding because they found cheap flights during such and such month or because you want to go to Antarctica to see the penguins. Go install a dating app, fire it up and start swiping women 20-35ish, you'll see photo after photo after photo of women with elephants or tigers or at this landmark and that landmark. This sort of travel simply would not exist without airplanes at a ton~ of CO2 per person per round trip.

So comparing planes to buses or private vehicles doesn't really equate. Cheap air travel has opened up far more travel opportunities for pleasure than have ever existed before and air travel is growing year after year. I also suspect that any given passenger's fuel usage might not be as efficient as it seems given most flights are NOT one stop to the destination and routinely involve 1 or more connecting flights which sometimes require you to actually travel past your destination only to have to backtrack on another aircraft.

And for the insane amount of business flights, nearly all of that could be handled via a telephone call or video chat. Take YC they make 'finalist' founders fly out to the bay area to interview in person at a ton or three of CO2 per person round trip when they could just fire up a Skype at a few hundred grams of CO2 per gigabyte.
I agree, and I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is telling applicants how they make decisions in a nice fair way, when in fact they use another, “secret” rubric that’s based more on brand and connections. If you’re going to evaluate folks, don't lie about how you're doing it.
Assuming they are independent random variables, since e.g. X xor (not X) is constant.
As an ISP, I can tell you that actual implementation of national security letters is quite rare. If you're doing something you think might legitimately result in that sort of event, go buy server colocation physically located in Russia, not Iceland. There's a number of large Russian isps with good connectivity to the DE-CIX Frankfurt.
> There exists whole industry of keeping cows and producing diary in humane way.

These are usually market gimmicks. They say a cow is pastured raised if they leave it out an hour a day, grass-fed if it gets fed half the diet in grass the other in grains, etc.

The costs of raising cattle and producing dairy in that way would simply not allow to meet the demand and it will never happen. Factory farms are the reality of what it takes to produce dairy for so many people.

Ultimately, in the end the result the animal dies a horrible death after having lived often a horrible live, so there is nothing humane about that.
It goes without saying that commits should include tests that cover the change, where possible.

> immutably

That's what makes this modus operandi so powerful IMO - comments in code may go unmaintained, tests may start failing for other reasons, issue trackers come and go, developers leave the company, documentation rots.

The commit message is (unless you have a bad actor) immutably linked to the original change, and that's exactly why you should be thorough in expressing its reason for being. I can git checkout the point in time (perhaps having bisected) and have the information to allow me to reproduce the issue.
After all the sharing economy talk we should introduce the guilt economy. I fear this becoming a growing trend.
Sure, but it was just an example to illustrate my point. They hanven't been the good at all in recycling their products until pretty recently.

They still try and keep people from actually repairing their devices which are perfectly fine in many cases. So I believe it's still a valid point even if there could be better examples.

And honestly, you write

> updated for a long, long time

Are they really tho? A few years is not a long, long time in my opinion and even if you don't buy a new one for a couple of years and it's still updated they usually make it unbearable slow so that you cannot live with it anymore and purchase a new one. It is easy to update, but nearly impossible to go back to an older version if the new version turns out to be very slow.

My father still uses a dumphone and a windows phone. They both work surprisingly well for him, especially the windows phone. I am actually pretty amazed on the longevity of the Nokia Lumia.

Making a phone last 2-4 years is not a long time. I believe many people could easily have the same phones for 10+ years if the phone makers were interested of making that happen. They aren't though and that is a bit of an issue.

Just compare a phone to most other products and you will soon notice people update their smart phone a lot more often than most other things. Sure it's an important device but not that many people would actually need the feature upgrade every version have.

Make a phone that lasts 20 years or more and I will start to believe that you are making good, long lasting products.
Deliberately slowing down phones?

MagicBane already uses RIO. RIO doesn't specify anything about the capabilities model its just a pattern. As noted in the ticket, the nice thing about Data Has is it already has instances for tuples. This is really handy in - for example - init code where you may want to have logging and config capabilities before the rest of your env is setup. But I agree its probably not worth the cost and the single parameter pattern is better.

Emission offset is just a way for rich people to absolve their sins. If you release CO2 in the atmosphere that was previously sequestered in the ground it's out. Sure you can plant some trees, and they'll bind the carbon as they grow, but what happens when they get old and die? Bacteria and fungi release the carbon back into the air.
People who've been conditioned to imagine a big bang bubble that expanded at greater than the speed of light and then popped often find it difficult for to imagine Fred Hoyle's steady-state universe (which is what she is trying to describe). For people with a materials science background, it is easy to imagine, but for people steeped in modern pop-sci mythology, it is difficult.
but "why" includes lots of detail about the steps they went through. Why can't "there was utf-8/non-ascii whitespace in the file" Cover all of that? Why detail all the steps to reproduce?
"I think it's a boondoggle to attempt to shame people into changing their behavior when they do not have viable options."

It's perhaps a boondoggle to represent a person's life as having only a single option that requires such things.

If you want to have the sort of life that requires your flights back and forth, that's one thing -- but voluntary participation in that life is a different thing than suggesting that you're trapped by circumstance.
How can they be recycled when all the parts are glued or fused together? For example the screen and digitizer are practically a single piece.
>For babies, not for adults.

There's an entire class of people called "children" who are neither babies nor adults who can benefit from drinking milk (or any other good source of calcium).
I have gone to those farms. Cows die nearly everyday because there are 3000 of them on the farm and their lifespan is 5-7 years, so the numbers work out that way (in the wild it would be less). Otherwise they live in clean barns that are not too hot, have plenty of food and otherwise have an easy life. Boring perhaps, but it isn't cruel despite what you might be manipulated into thinking.
This is exactly the conclusion I've come to. Fly economy and you'll waste 24 hours or more (both ways) just physically and mentally recovering from the flight. Put a monetary value on that and it's easy to justify the cost of upgrading.
How would that be possible without having to essentially keep track of two files? Nice idea though.
Many. Fancy phone SoCs are usually exempt. Routers are really varied. Realtek has usually cheaper devices, where the only real certification that cares about the software is the FCC compliance.

I offset all my flights now (I probably fly about three round trips per year). My wife and I recently went to Greece (from Toronto), which were two trips of 10+ hours and IIRC almost 7 tons of carbon emissions. I purchased $170 CAD of offsets from a Canadian nonprofit (https://www.less.ca/). Not a perfect solution, but it’s something. I’m also considering calculating our family’s total yearly carbon emissions and offsetting all of them.

But here’s the thing: why aren’t offsets just baked into the price of all air travel? It would not be a huge increase in ticket prices. I would guess perhaps 10, maybe 15%. We need to change the idea that we have some god given right to externalize our environmental impacts.
To experiment, find some chanterelles, lobster or porcini, and shitake mushrooms. These should be available fresh or dried in many large groceries in bigger cities. Make some dishes with each or try a taste.

Huge huge differences in mushrooms.

My favs are chanterelles, chicken of the woods, and candy caps (which have a distinct maple/sotolon flavor).
I regularly order locally-produced milk from very small scale farmers that don't use any of the things you mention and it's nearly not the cost of a luxury item. I live in a huge city, too.

I'm going through a revolution of sorts inside as I realize just how prevalent this is. This is hard because I've been obsessed with animals and with nature my entire life. The recent developments with protests and activists has actually polarized people even more in my opinion instead of unite them. The media industry is very one-sided in this debate and attacks any counterpoints or critiques.

You might enjoy this discussion on the Aviation Stack Exchange site on that very topic:

https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/26883/could-mos...

Tl,dr: ethanol has about 60% the energy density of jet fuel (so you need more fuel / weight for same flight), the extra weight may mean you actually have a negative available cargo weight (for passengers and their stuff) depending on the airframe, and it's a solvent that might melt the systems it's in, requiring an up-to complete retrofit of the drive and fuel systems for the airplane.

But maybe depending on the application, if you built an airplane from scratch to use it, there could be ways? It may be a very expensive airplane though, which could make it harder to run one to profit eventually.

So the better question is whether business meetings truly need to be in-person. With all the interest in remote work, and how common it is getting, perhaps the lessons we've learned about remote communications and collaboration should be shared more broadly, to help that 12% of travelers who are the frequent flyers stay home more often.

Travelling to see family or explore the world makes sense. As does large, intense meeting where the face-to-face benefits are needed. But travelling for small short meetings because you don't know how to use modern communication options does not.

On a side note, the discussions around reducing our carbon footprint have a disturbing trend of implying that we should only focus on our biggest problems, or the people who are the biggest problem. They tend to justify the attitude that, "That guy is worse than me, so I'm OK."
how is the price of the offset calculated? that sounds rather cheap.

1. The photos in that post are really distracting.

2. "We're trying to build a team here, not hire individuals." I can't stress how important this is, and how many companies SAY this in the interview and then do jack squat to foster a team environment once someone is hired. It's also hard in an industry where individual merits matter so much and we all know that our individual skills are such we can walk and be hired somewhere else immediately: the motivation for individuals to become team players can be lacking, especially when it's not made clear what the benefits of being a team player will be.
