rebase has good traceability, if you retain the original artifacts.

When we rebase a public feature branch and merge it into a mainline, we nicely have two versions of that.

Basically, rebase and merge could be reconciled like this: we could merge a feature branch by iterating over it, and invidiually doing a git merge for every commit. Then that would be a rebase. Except that every commit would have an additional parent pointer which cross-references it to the original branch.

I.e. good rebase:

B0---B1---B2
/
--- A --- B ---- C --- D --- B0' --- B1' --- B2'

good merge (exact same thing, just with parent pointers):

---------------B0-----B1-----B2
/ \ \ \
--- A --- B ---- C --- D --- B0' --- B1' --- B2' ---

typical silly git merge:

--B0-----B1-----B2
/ \
--- A --- B ---- C --- D --- B{0+1+2}

still, that cross-referencing parent info in the second example above is not that useful. It's still making a salad out of the git graph. And is not two-way navigable, either. (Say I'm looking at B1 and want to locate B1'.)

It's better to have something in the commit messages to track changes that get cherry picked in multiple places. The Gerrit review system has a Change-ID: line with a 160 bit random ID, for instance. All rebases/picks of the same change carry the same ID, which correlates them to the same review item.

It is also more expensive for very small companies and individual developers. You need pay extra for inbound/outbound traffic and any persistent disk space to cloud providers, whereas these are all included in the plans provided by most VPS providers.

Also, from another article (by Axios):

"SoftBank will pay former WeWork CEO and current non-executive chairman Adam Neumann around $200 million to leave the board of directors, give up his voting shares and support SoftBank's takeover, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation."

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen... unless your firewall is between your host versus every other host and there's no multi-tenancy, this will suck.
I totally agree. My beef was with people using vague words like "probably". What does probably mean? 51% likely? 55% likely? 90% likely? It contains no sense of probability, that can be agreed upon.

If you're going to attach a probability to an opinion, use "most likely", or "almost certainly", or "unlikely".

That was in fact the impetus:

While working at RAND on a scheme for U.S. telecommunications infrastructure to survive a “first strike,” Paul Baran conceived of the Internet and digital packet switching, the Internet's underlying data communications technology. His concepts are still employed today; just the terms are different. His seminal work first appeared in a series of RAND studies published between 1960 and 1962 and then finally in the tome “On Distributed Communications,” published in 1964.

https://www.rand.org/about/history/baran.html

Baran's original packet (block) switched networks development papers, and in fact his entire catalogue, are available at RAND:

"On Distributed Communications I. Introduction to Distributed Communications Networks"

This sounds attractive when you have more time than money.

I buy new clothes because I can quickly find a wide selection online, filter through it by size, price, etc, and be done buying a whole new set of clothes (that replace worn-out clothes) in the same 2-3 hours it takes to go to a thrift store or two, and find 1-2 pieces that fit.

I'm fashion-oblivious though; for people who want to look just so this approach would be rather expensive.

I think it's a good principle.

Nor should they ever attend a book festival. Or go on a book tour.
Because each new item posted pushes all the prior items down one slot.
Honestly, there's a company other called volante design that makes them, but they're kidna pricy.
I like how straightforward this blog post is. The graphics are very helpful in getting the point across.

Unfortunately, this is dangerous advice in a reasonably sized engineering team.

The assumption of pushing to master is kind of a dangerous one. Don't do that unless it's a project that is yours and yours alone.

If you have a change you want to get in, consider a pull request. Even if you don't need it reviewed, it generally encourages you to use a separate branch.

If you find that you have a conflict with origin/master, you can then easily rebase your changes. Because of the nature of refs in git, you can also create a separate branch before rebasing so that you don't have to worry about about losing anything, or just to diff what you ended up changing after a particularly hairy rebase.

So yes in short, you can use rebases to avoid merge commits. But the use case here and the workflow described is not one I would recommend for teams using a centralized origin or a stable head of master.
Just curious, how on earth did Kevin and Amir get such incredibly detailed of AWS spending of these accounts.

Either they put it together from public resources, or (more worrysome) someone at AWS leaked them line-item based expenses of their top customers.

This has got to be incredibly sensitive data for AWS, not something they'd want leaked. If I'm (say) AirBnB or Snap, I'd worry that this data leaks information that would be detrimental to their ability to negotiate for cloud computing with Google, Microsoft etc.
What makes that resume necessarily an insider?
This is not a guarantee of no merge conflicts. Sometimes conflict cannot be avoided, you'll need to deal with it sooner or later
90% market share of office space? That's hilarious
I think the real limiter is people willing and stable enough to murder indiscriminately at scale in novel ways. Mowing down crowds of people with a truck is bizarrely recent, and the peak of mass murder is still one guy sniping at a concert from a nearby hotel. Everyone was relatively surprised that passenger planes could be used as destructive weapons.

The really effective means of mass murder I think would be subtle, though, and mass murderers don't seem to do subtle. E.g. leaving some radioactive material in an innocuous public place, worsening visibility at crash prone intersections, subtle and slow poisons mixed into food and drink…
Good for them. This is exactly how patent trolls should be handled.
It is at least somewhat novel to see a technological alarmist jump entirely over the "encryption enables child porn" argument all the way to "robot drones are going to murder your family in broad daylight."

Go big or go home, I guess.
Yes. You can say "FROM scratch" at the top of your Dockerfile to build an image from nothing (it's actually a no-op). You can also set up a docker registry using open source software not distributed as a docker image. There are several variants but the one I've had my eye on is Nexus OSS[1]. It can manage lots of things, not just Docker.

If you read back up the thread, the whole context of people hacking each other with machetes arose from speculation on how well Bill Gates would have done had he been born in Rwanda. I default to assuming that people read the threads to which they are commenting, and that it's not necessary for everyone to restate all the context every time.
I've used elm-css-modules-loader[1], although haven't tried it with Webpack 4 yet. Since my CSS is usually small (< 300 lines), I prefer a standalone stylesheet.

Good quality sources of information were rare enough and difficult enough to find that one actually made the effort to use, organize, and jealously guard bookmarks. You actually had to dig through and crawl the links yourself, so when you found something, you bookmarked it lest you never find it again.

I don't remember the last time I bothered to bookmark anything that way.

> it starts the vacuum, and when that's done dispatches the mopper

Great point -- outsourcing control leads to logic that can improve and be coordinated between unrelated systems.

> If I can tell a central system

Or better yet, not need to tell it, and have your kitchen cleaned while you're at work, possibly with a phone notification if you really want it. Probably just a passive history+status interface normally, though, once you trust it.

Obviously a vacuum cleaner could have heuristics to tell when you're out (clocks and radar etc) but that's just a dead-end solution when your thermostat and your lights and your curtains and your security system all want to know too.
Does WeWork ever need to IPO?

If it turns WeWork profitable by cutting costs and implementing responsible leadership, it just keeps its share of all future profits. SoftBank wouldn't be doing this if it didn't think those profits were likely to be more than total investment so far.

In other words, WeWork got acquired instead of IPO-ing.

I don't think this is true anymore. I am a huge fan of cotton, but for athletic activities there is nothing like a modern, wicking, synthetic shirt. The 32 Degrees brand really sold me on synthetics a few years ago. Yes, it is bad for the environment... I'm just saying that synthetics aren't like they were in the 80s.
Yes they do. Many good experienced engineers.
Because AWS is designed to be like a pitcher plant, shaped like a funnel with inward-facing hairs to make it easy to get in, difficult to get out.

That's pretty much it - in my experience most of AWS' awesome features are designed to lock customers into an environment where Amazon increasingly provides all of the components and services you need to do business.

I would assume the endgame is to create an ecosystem where the vast majority of customers allow their IT function (infrastructure, developing software, engaging third-party SaaS vendors, etc) to atrophy entirely, after which they'll have no choice but to buy what Amazon is selling, at any price, in perpetuity.
When it was time to get that 4K retina iMac, I only had money for one built-to-order upgrade. It was a tough decision. It was either leaving the internal 1TB hard drive and choose to have 16GB of RAM instead of the base 8GB, or choosing a 256GB internal SSD and keeping the base 8GB of RAM. Since RAM in that 21.5-inch retina iMac is only upgradable at purchase, not down the road, I opted for the 16GB of RAM and staying with the hard drive. My reasoning is that I can upgrade to an external Thunderbolt SSD at a later date when I can afford it. RAM is not upgradable later.
The Trial by Franz Kafka? Color me curious - what about that book is relevant to the experience of young people today? From what I remember of the book, a young man is put through criminal proceedings for an unnamed crime that he was not made privy to - and it essentially encapsulated what a bureaucratic and litigious dystopia of a society would look like - but again, I'm curious how you draw the connections between that to the experience of young people today.

What you said directly contradicts the wiki article you linked...

"Contrary to a widespread misconception (possibly resulting from the acronym HEAT) the shaped charge does not depend in any way on heating or melting for its effectiveness; that is, the jet from a shaped charge does not melt its way through armor, as its effect is purely kinetic in nature"
Amusing to picture our "3" terrorists carefully assembling 10m drones, each with a 1g shaped charge on it - or does the author think this is something that you can just order from some factory in China, along with the 10 tons of plastic explosive.

It seems to be that anyone sophisticated enough to put 10 tons of plastic explosive in any form wherever they feel like is already quite capable of causing massive casualties.

Somehow, to make this even remotely plausible, we need to intersect a lot of unlikely combinations (a bunch of really bad guys who are hugely resourced, very technical and intelligent, completely uninfiltrated, fighting for some goal that isn't going to be radically harmed by the optics of killing thousands of soft targets).
I was working at a dotcom, a geocities knockoff, that had recently gone public and had climbed up to around $30/share. I had options that I had already exercised as I was being clever thinking I'd sell them after holding them for a year. But I was still locked out as an employee, and we all watched as the the price dropped over a period of weeks. After a while it was under my exercise price so I lost money. All told it wasn't a lot of options and not a lot of money I lost either. A couple of decades later I sold the position to take the loss and offset other stock gains.

The layoffs happened in two rounds - the first round the severance packages were rumored to be generous. The second round, my round, we got two weeks pay.

This was spring of 2001. People had trouble finding a job, but they were still out there. I got another one for summer of 2001 but they laid me off after three months, and then 9/11 happened ten days later.

After that it was brutal. Up here in Portland, no one was hiring at all. One time a job opening came up and all the applicants were taken to a large conference room where we all took a silent written exam together, with applicant names anonymized to protect against discrimination. I got that offer and rejected it, which completely freaked out the agency recruiter that was representing me. Nike and Intel would occasionally advertise programming contracts for $12/hour - php, perl - and they would be swarmed with applicants. I'd talk to agency recruiters but they kept getting laid off, so it'd be a different one every couple of weeks.

I was taking unemployment, I toyed with a business idea, and I eventually thought I'd try out contracting - I cold-called a prospective client that had a small company, and he brought me on for $25/hour, usually working at his condo with him and ordering pizza together. A few months later - Feb. of 2002 I believe, I got my first more official-ish contract for $55/hour, and I've been in business as a backend architectural contractor/consultant ever since.

Over that period of tim, I found that consulting is kind of a leading indicator of the economy. When times are bad, maybe you can get good gigs at employers that need help but are reluctant to commit to an employee. But if times are just starting to go bad, non-employees can be let go quicker.

Anyways, remember that the dotcom crash got mixed up with the post-9/11 chaos, so the next crash probably won't have the same impact. Also, remember that recessions are cyclical. It gets better by definition. I still believe that 2001 and 2007 were Weird in a way that recessions usually aren't. And a recession might even be good for the younger generation since they tend to clear away people that have jobs but shouldn't, leaving more future openings for the folks that are still hustling and learning.

For personal notes, I’ve fallen back to plain text files with Markdown formatting. They’re relatively easy to search & avoid vendor lock-in so I can retain access to my writing. I try to include a common word in the title of related text files to aid finding them. But usually I can just type a phrase into Mac or Windows operating system search and find the note I’m looking for. I’m still deciding if it’s worth organizing my notes into folders.

Previously, I wrote papers and notes in a variety of word processors and page layout tools (Claris Works, Word, Apple Works, Pages, InDesign). Over time I’d miss an upgrade cycle, switch OS, or couldn’t justify the cost of an upgrade and lost access to many of those files. So far text files have proven to be quite portable across editor apps & I’ve also found writing in plain text helps me focus my thinking.
The article specifically says its based on internal data.
Holy smokes!

For as long as I’ve been coding, I’ve never heard of this font. Thanks for mentioning it.
Plastic in a landfill releases methane, which is a very potent greenhouse gas if not burned. The studies comparing greenhouse gas emissions of recycling vs landfill/replacement (including the one you linked IIRC) rely on that for their argument that recycling is better in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.

It definitely takes less energy (and thus fossil fuels and thus carbon) to landfill a plastic bottle and make a new one or plastic bottle makers would be much more adamant to recycle. We can safely rely amoral corporations to do what's cheapest.

I'm not anti-recycling and can't imagine who even would be. I'm in favor of whatever reduces greenhouse gas emissions the most. I just think that the biggest problem in modern environmentalism is that they are optimizing for something that isn't much of a problem (landfills) at the expense of something that is (greenhouse gases) without even thinking about it. It's well-meaning, they just don't even know that certain materials and recycling programs are making that trade.
You get a lower exponent than the square with a beam. For a perfectly parallel beam the exponent is technically 0 (same intensity regardless of distance - like a laser pointer) For a focused beam intensity will actually increase with distance up to the focal point. Some energy can be absorbed by the medium (air/moisture/rain), but that is not covered by the inverse square law.
My prediction would be that fossil fuels will be about as important in twenty years as they are today.

The green energy revolution is wishful thinking, people really want it to be true and it distorts their expectations.

I also suspect that oil prices will remain low because of fracking and that Aramco is really hedging against that, not green energy.
Gustin has a similar idea, focusing on making clothing with less waste, high quality materials and wholesale prices by crowdfunding the designs. This also allows them to make short runs of clothing that would not sell well in retail environments. Most of the clothing they sell is long lasting and versatile as a result, but the catch is you need to "buy" the clothes a few months ahead of time. Taylor Stitch is similar in some ways.

There needs to be some kind of exit, because at some point the Vision Fund needs to return money to investors - and that's a lot sooner than "run WeWork to earn back $5b+ via dividends" would take.
The future profits only need to be higher than the $5B plus whatever they can get today from liquidating their existing holding. Sunk cost fallacy, or "what is done is done".

Reddit reviews are generally a pretty good source to find out what the flaws of a product are. I like to work out what the most common ways the product fails and how possible it is to fix them. I made the mistake of buying a pair of skullcandy headphones and after a month the plastic cracked and then I checked reddit and saw pretty much everyone who has this pair has had the same bit of plastic crack.
