Yes, there should be green AND red! maintenance comes in two flavors, it's absence can be a sign of good or bad, depending on the project:

Very small projects given enough time can be cut almost perfectly up front, a few patches maybe then it's done. In this case lack of maintenance is a sign of stability and completeness.

At the opposite end of the scale, in very large and _dynamic_ projects, maintenance is a continual necessity. Not only because of it's own scope being so large it's difficult to settle on a coherent, complete and bug free solution, but because of how it also interacts with many other changing external projects, in short these projects are an ecosystem - In this case lack of maintenance signifies death, instability, insecurity and abandonment.

I find it particularly annoying when the latter is applied to projects fitting into the former category. Some package managers even auto-quantify package quality based on maintenance (release frequency) - looking at you NPM.

Some other phrase should be used to clarify this, maybe: "No maintenance needed", although that sounds a bit unrealistic, the point is the lack of release churn doesn't mean it's broken.
From the bank shareholder's perspective the bailout was a stunning success. For the rest of us debtors, for those who greased the runways for the shareholders with their lost homes and lost savings that went to paying off debts in disinflationary dollars when stimulus and reasonable inflation would have made paying debts off easier, it remains an ongoing disaster.
There’s at least some single ticketing in Europe - we bought a ticket from the UK to the south of Germany this summer & it was a single ticket changing in Brussels and Frankfurt, with automatic carry over for missed connections caused by train delays.

They are, the first one is referring to the Catalina upgrade in general, where I haven't experienced any problems, either with the OS, or the existing software I use.

The second one is specifically referring to SideCar as an individual feature.

I will click No, keep content language and tick don't ask me ever again and be super happy.

If you really want me to like you, put a tickbox in the settings so I can save this as default into my other browsers (that don't use cookies / don't save data)

> demonstrates that his claim “going to Sweden will cause me to be face the death penalty in the USA” is bogus

Doesn't matter; what matters is what Assange thought would happen. He clearly thought that if he left the Embassy he would be promptly sent to the US.

And lo and behold, it is shaping up that he was right. Did he know the exact legal mechanisms that would be employed - apparently not. But his overall read of the situation has been vindicated.
>I'm not sure where you're getting that from — it isn't mentioned on the about page[1].

Obviously. They want to pretend the diversity portrayed in that website is normal.

>I suspect you've made that assumption because they happen to be diverse, and the stereotype is that computing itself tends not to be. However, I think that is exaggerated, and projects such as this one aim to redress the balance.

Let's agree to disagree then.

Future of Machine Learning on Smartphones
After reading this thread, now I get why /r/financialindependence is so full of IT guys like me. We got so roasted during 2001, that we never ever again want to be dependent on our cosy well paying jobs we know not to take for granted. I think FIRE is mostly an insurance for us who has seen those dark days. Like 50% of the other swedes working in IT, I got kicked out of the trade for many years. Moved to China, had a crazy wild life there, married there and moved back to Sweden after 12 years. Currently work in one of the four big IT consulting firms. After the 2001 IT bubble/crash, I still today fear that the crash will come again and wipe us out. Today I grow a healthy sized emergency fund and my investment portfolio is very hedged against a stock market crash. I suggest the same to anyone who asks me for advice.

Yes, my bad, by "green light" it would be on Jayden's side to assess the appropriateness of the source provided (some trolls may send nasty pictures), as well as workload, appetite for work (so it doesn't become forced labour on a child with his characteristics) and so on..

Perhaps even a "counter"/queue/approximate ETA (the ETA can be manipulated to show 30% more so there is no pressure)

So, I'm with you. But I'm also the person leaving the brand-new items at the thrift store.

The thing is, I'm not the one buying the items usually. They're gifts. And it doesn't matter how many times I tell family not to buy this or that, they do. Christmas is crazy, I hate it for all the wasted money and excess things to deal with. I hate my in laws showing up with well made furniture that I nevertheless hate the design of and don't need. I hate being the caretaker of other people's anxiety manifest in things.

Also, I have little time. So when clothing nmanufacturers do stupid sizing things to save a buck, and it doesn't fit me even after trying to get a tailor to fix it, I'm done spending time on it. It might fit someone else.

I've learned ironically used things on eBay often fit me better because the particular item's exact measurements are provided. I don't have to guess what "medium" means, or whether or not a 27.5 in length actually means 27.5 inches.

I guess my general point is a lot of these excesses are actually about inefficiency and broader societal norms. Even when you have someone who just wants a few nice fitting long lasting items, it can be hard to do that unless you can afford a personal tailor and no gifts to deal with.

It's a complicated topic. Clothes and linens are more cheaply made, even when you look hard, even in my lifetime. I'd argue people often don't even know what something well made in a category looks like often anymore, which distorts demand and therefore supply.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, I guess the CCCP astroturfers are out in force today.
Been there, done that... It is a waste of time and effort if you can't convince other people to join your services. I have operated a jabber server for quite some time (2008ish - 2012). Mostly for me and some friends to organize lan parties and such. I told other people about it but after a week of interest, no one seriously used it, since everyone was already using other services to communicate -- also using a XMPP client seemed to be to much to ask for the non-techies.

As time goes on our communications moved towards facebook and teamspeak. And after dropping out of the local gaming scene I stopped operating it altogether -- if I am the only one using a comms-infrastructure its kinda moot, even if it's a federated system. I had some contacts outside of the gaming-bubble but by the time no one seemed to have used it anymore.
It is OK to laugh at people when they say stupid things. If Kirsten wants to be taken seriously then she needs to do some editing and remember that her audience is not a choir of feminists. She goes on to complain about the field being "egocentric" but that could apparently be changed with a different "social makeup". I have an idea for Kirsten, how about you start an all female school of physicists that doesn't have any of those pesky problems like "the male ego" and let us know how it goes.
All high-speed trains in China are entirely non-smoking. Once or twice I've seen someone light up near the doors, away from the seats, and it's been dealt with fairly harshly by the train staff.
As a regular dev on the east coast, working for a company with large corporate clients in conservative industries, the crash had basically no impact at all.

People looking for new jobs might have had a little more trouble. And the dotcom boom brought a lot of devs with minimal skills, just because it was impossible to find good devs; some of those who hadn't leveled up in time for the crash got shaken out. But anyone who really could write code did fine, in my town.
Interesting idea.

It might be worth offering two pricing options: (1) Pay for private answers, (2) free/bounty open source answers.

Your concept seems to have some overlap with StackOverflow. A problem with StackOverflow is their content is licensed CC-BY-SA. That can make some answers dicey for companies to use. Publicly visible answers on your site might be more valuable than StackOverflow answers if you released them as CC0. CC0 answers could also be merged into the docs of the FOSS projects. Having those answers on your site should drive more search traffic to you, bringing more leads for paid private Q&A.

On the expert side of what you’re doing... if you can streamline the payment process & generate a 1099 for taxes (like Lyft-style companies do) that might remove some overhead for experts & get them interested.
Yes, very forward thinking paying with your phone, letting Google have access to your purchase history.

such lines already exist for slower-speed connections, and if you’ve ever seen a subway or train which uses LZB in certain sections, you’ll see that the driver only has to handle opening/closing the doors for passengers, if anything at all.

One of the issues creating poor impressions of Indians at least in Canada nearly every resident gets a fairly regular stream of calls from Pakistan and India that are actually fraud, dealing with IT and credit cards, duct cleaning and taxes.

I think India is a challenging place to make a living and thus many people do whatever they can to make a buck, at least that is how I explain this behavior to myself.

Now they are tied into sketchy cloud services that require creating logins, and are getting themselves hacked.
Problems with weak banks are usually solved by merging them with stronger banks.

It's the non-bank financial institutions that are more worrisome. Recall that Lehman Brothers and AIG were not banks.

>Baraitser then capped it all by saying the February hearing will be held, not at the comparatively open and accessible Westminster Magistrates Court where we were, but at Belmarsh Magistrates Court, the grim high security facility used for preliminary legal processing of terrorists, attached to the maximum security prison where Assange is being held. There are only six seats for the public in even the largest court at Belmarsh, and the object is plainly to evade public scrutiny and make sure that Baraitser is not exposed in pulic again again to a genuine account of her proceedings, like this one you are reading. I will probably be unable to get in to the substantive hearing at Belmarsh.

Its perverse

> Anyway, at least electric trains are the kind of technology that will benefit everyone when it gets exported, so yey!

It’s not like this is new tech — they’re using trains built in a joint venture by Siemens (EDIT: apparently, they’re now building trains based on the same technology themselves), and the top speed China is trying to reach is 385km/h, unsurprisingly the top speed of the exact same model Siemens sells elsewhere.

That's a strong argument.
I think there is something to this idea that Apple's products are for the young. Older folks like me learned to use computers as toolboxes of specialized tools that we could use in combination to create customized solutions to whatever we had to do. But Apple would rather sell you solutions (higher value-added) than sell you tools to make your own.

By "courageously" taking things away from users, they frustrate older users who know how to do what they want for themselves, but Apple seems to be counting on a new generation of users who never learned to do things for themselves to be just fine with letting Apple do them. I always appreciated Apple's dedication to "quality", but the quality involved in computers as "bicycles for the mind" is not the Apple of today, where "quality" is about looking young, hip, fashionable, and somewhat wealthy.
Maybe not for mass adoption but i can think of a few highly specialized applications where an incredibly lightweight and energy dense power source is needed for a short period of time, but they are all pretty terrifying

One thing I completely failed to consider is that Jayden joins this event(s) not for the income but for the participation, the sense of belonging and not being isolated. If he stays home making figurines 24/7 then that beats the purpose, and it's something I definitely did not aim for with my idea.

Yes, this kind of firewall is always supposed to be between the management hosts and everything else. Only the sysadmins at the data center a very limited set of applications is supposed to be able to access it. The very real risk is misconfiguration.
For me, one of the biggest non-starters is a slow compiler, or rather a compiler that doesn't scale well. When people talk about how smart their type system or their compiler is, it immediately rings alarm bells for me.

This is one of the things that you may only learn the hard way, as your project grows in complexity. Nobody advertises how slow their compiler is.

So, my question is, how does GHC fare these days? How does it treat people that switched from a dynamic language, who are used to quick iteration?

I started about a year before you. I went into embedded rtos stuff. At the time it was comparable to the beat SV offers and by the time SV recovered enough to start offering double or perhaps triple embedded rates, I had learned i actually liked it an felt the amount of domain specific knowledge i had aquired was a good investment. I'm not sure that was the case, but at 40 having never changed jobs from that original corporation, I think I at least got stability and fun work out of it.
It's a fair take though.

macOS is a product on its own, especially if you come from the hardware pespective, wanting for instance a iMac Pro and seeing the OS that comes with it as a glorified hardware manager.

Is macOS Catalina the best OS for your machine ? Is it genuinely better than the precedent version ?

That's a question worth pondering.

First OS written in a high level programming language, without any kind of Assembly, back in 1961.

The systems language was an Algol derivative named ESPOL, later replaced by NEWP a bit more powerful.

Instead of requiring external Assembly support, ESPOL/NEWP have compiler intrisics for hardware access.

One of the NEWP improvements was the introduction of UNSAFE code blocks, any binary with unsafe code is tainted and requires being greelighted by the administration for execution.

It was originally known as Burroughs B5000, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burroughs_large_systems.

Let's go over this again. I stated:

>Value is subjective. If I value my free time at $20 an hour, and you value my labor at $40 an hour, we will be able to come to an agreement where you pay me $30 an hour, and we will both benefit according to our subjective perception of value.

You responded with:

>This is the price, not value. Value is the benefit provided to an economic agent from a good or service, whereas price is the exchange value for a good or service.

What exactly are you referring to here? I stated that "if I value my free time at $20", and then proferred a situation where we agree to a labor agreement where I am paid $30, and suggested that I would be profiting according to my subjective valuation of said trade of time for money.

I didn't equate the price I got for my labor with how much I value it at. Likewise, I didn't say that the employer who values my labor at $40 is getting $30 of value as a result of that being the price they paid for it. I was actually extremely clear on both points which makes your misunderstanding frustrating in how inconsiderate it is.

So how about we start our discussion over again instead of you strawmanning me from the very beginning and then lecturing me on economic terminology.

>This might be a dialectual/regional difference, but the word, at least to me, means something along the lines of "gain access to." If a value is a perceived benefit of a good or service, then "gaining access to a resource through hiring" is semantically the same as "the value they are provided in hiring you."

You're lecturing on using precise economic terminology and are now using this vague and informal connotation based definition of value?

Anyway, you're totally missing the point. The point your interlocutor made is that the profit they earn from selling the product of the labor is not solely from the value contributed by the labor they bought, as you implied in your previous commenting where you equated price the employer sells the labor at as the value they get from it. The product of the labor that the employer is selling is actually a product of a combination of the labor they bought plus the capital they own and utilized (mixed) with the labor.

The overlooking of the value that their capital contributed to the production of the good/service is a classic oversight of Marxists.
So all potential future open-source contributors feel "I can be part of this" rather than excluded.

I just wish there were more women who were actual open-source programmers rather than journalists, executives or advocates. People like Margo Seltzer (BerkeleyDB) or Lynne Jolitz (386BSD).

Lehman was a pure investment bank and therefore the government refused to bail them out - they did not want to be the lender of last resort to an entity they could not regulate strongly.

Once everyone saw this almost all of them converted to “commercial banks,” even Goldman, in order to receive bailouts.

The exception is Jefferies, leaving them as the only bank on Wall Street with a balance sheet that lends over 6x ebitda.
