While I think that's true for foreign nationals who have a legal right to work in the US, I haven't seen anything to suggest it applies if they are residing in their home country.

As you probably know, Gitlab is 100% remote employees. Surely, if I had a remote development position posted I would be under no obligation to consider a candidate in China who sent me their resume (that intends to work from China).
Yup. And wasn't there a similar thing in Neuromancer, with a gang of members wearing such urban camouflage?
It's on the upper end of estimates I've seen. Other sources say 2-2.5 hours of social media for the average American. It think it's because that source used all kinds of different media sources like radio. That definitely increases my "screentime" hours when I leave Spotify/YouTube music on my phone.
Yup. Get big enough and people think of your name as a familiar proper noun, like a person's name. I don't know what "Aaron" means and it doesn't matter.
Thanks, I enjoyed it. The fruit of discipline and accomplishment is the freedom to be humble and gracious.
You're right, it shouldn't.

But if you take that 1) housing is a necessity, 2) housing supply is restricted by law to a value below demand, and 3) we make it possible to get mortgages that DEPEND on "anchoring ones' self to a lifetime of having to maintain a highly paid career", this means that housing will eventually be priced at the amount of debt available.

If 20 people want 10 houses, all you need is for 10 of them to say "well I don't want a mortgage for 10x my income, but I guess it's what I need to do" in order to drive houses to be that price. If the bank made it 15x, then you'd see that as the price. Hell, there are places (Sweden iirc) with 100+ year mortgages and lo and behold, people take out these "mortgages" (basically renting from the bank at that point).

We could allow building more homes, but that would be unpopular with people who own houses, who are often old voters, so it's a nonstarter politically.

The goal is to keep housing _just barely_ affordable to people who work their asses off their entire productive life. It's an outcome of enforced artificial scarcity.
Well, it was a service they were running to deal with differences between EC2 and containers in terms of AWS auth, so it is relevant.
It strikes me that we know much of what to do, we just aren't doing it. We also know what we shouldn't be doing, but we refuse to stop doing it.

I don't want to pick on you, but this is the second post in which you seem to imply the overall situation is better than what I see. "Let those companies die" seems to imply they're a minority, whereas from what I can tell, 99% of companies do just what that CFO is suggesting. How can we possibly expect the deaths of all of them?
> In a monorepo you can do an atomic change across everything. This is what enables you to change the API and update all users in a single commit.

I think this begs the question should all software in the whole world be in a single mono-repo?

Assuming you have lots of code which is not in version control, should you put it all into a single mono-repo? Or should you divide it into TWO monorepos? or THREE?

What would be the rule on how many monorepos is best?

I think the rule should be that things which do not or should not depend on each other, should NOT be in the same repo.

You don't know (and this letter's author doesn't know) that wearing a MAGA hat was what they considered a violation of the code of conduct.
Don't get your own domain. Use a service like Wordpress.com. Register with them using a outlook.com alias. Use one VPN to set the account up then cancel that VPN. Then use another VPN to post new content. When administering the blog don't use your own machine and everyday browser - instead, spin up a clean VM.
Read the stats. Concussions and missed games due to injuries are on the rise, with a jump immediately following the rule changes that made traditional enforcers no longer a viable option. You are trading that 10% for a much larger number due to bullies and pests getting away with cheap shots.

It could be just a long transition phase, but stats show that fighting was the mitigation, not the problem. They removed the mitigation and unleashed the real problem. They are trying to address the real problem now, but so far, the evidence suggests that they have not yet found a more effective solution than allowing stars to have bodyguards. It would be great if they can solve both.

Good intentions can have unintended side effects. You know, like time the time the US toppled that brutal Saddam guy and accidentally made ISIS.

“Visible” homelessness is often quite a different demographic to overall homelessness - for instance women and children tend not to be visible. There may be a similar effect with race.
That seems to be general policy. I track title edits and they are frequently (though certainly not always) made less informational: https://hackernewstitles.netlify.com/ .. there are pros and cons so it's not a clear cut good or bad thing.
So far no solution besides “pirating” has met this one simple requirement:

“On-demand access to any movie or TV show I can think of that has ever been digitized, from one service.”

Dopamine Fasts: Why Silicon Valley Tech Workers Are Avoiding Stimulation
Fair enough, you're in a better position than me to know. I guess I'm making an is/ought error.
If you were able to find someone, somewhere, who you otherwise have no relationship with, perhaps you could get that person to setup the blog, and post the messages that you send to them via some other (offline) method.

While clearly difficult, I'm not sure this is really any harder than the other technical solutions listed here.
> Now, I think there is a place for something like SQL: fast, able to easily access and update large amounts of data, etc. Something that executes directly against an RDBMS.

Yes, I don't necessarily disagree with anything you said. I didn't mean to imply that SQL was ideal for very good beyond a fairly limited set of functionality, which I would loosely describe as: a system for which many stored operations and refactoring becomes a necessity.

The use case I have in mind is with wrangling multiple, disparate datasets, into a normalized format that can be piped into a visualization function, or into a Rails app (for which an ORM like ActiveRecord can suffice going forward). And also, I'm thinking of people relatively new to data in general. I find SQL as a language offers a more explicit and rigid way of communicating data transformation concepts. After that, for most people who end up learning pandas/R, it's generally easier to do all the work in those frameworks (especially if you like notebooks).
Kubernetes was almost written in Java. That it was written in Go instead was motivated in part by Docker choosing Go, which Google wasn't part of.
Good to hear it. Better late than never.
XView2: Use labeled satellite imagery to help automate disaster recovery efforts
Definitely, and I was doing that, but everytime a new spam variant (with gmail period trick) of an email gets subscribed that same email gets ANOTHER double-opt-in email from me. This is my guess as to why I was getting reported as spam so much - people would literally be getting spammed by me (unintentionally).

EDIT: forgot to mention I'm the author of this post
Sure if your use case is an analysis of interconnected entities and you either work alone or have someone to help you maintain a shared server.

Otherwise please don’t. I earn my living (amongst other things) due to organisations that went with this as blanket approach.

Use a right tool for the job. SQLite is fantastic for small to medium size datasets, shines in immutable case. Plus its maintenance and sharing cost is close to zero(something you will cherish once docker comes to play or if you want to learn or test some SQL without going through a pain of setting local permissions for your schemas).
They can aid in mitigation of present limitations, IE they can move some power from areas with renewable energy available to areas without it. Even that paper states they're only part of the strategy, however.

There is a huge difference between mitigating the present uneven implementation of "non dispatchable" renewables and in providing sufficient capacity and stability to power literally everything in the world from renewables by shipping power from point A to point B using any technology at all.

The problem is that whether you take renewables in individual installations or in aggregate over a region they're still variable sources of power. The storage capacity to turn renewables into 24/7 power sources at a scale large enough to supply all needs doesn't exist.

Using small scale energy storage widely would require a completely different power grid structure that doesn't exist yet.

Given the needs of our civilization and the prerequisites that we don't have time to build out a power grid centered around distributed energy generation and storage before irreversible climate damage happens, our options are limited.

Renewables aren't enough on their own, simply because they aren't constant.
> Fukishima ... ended up killing over a thousand people.

Shorter version.
If this tech makes it to industry I suspect it will make it to the inside high performance hydraulics before it makes it to the outside of ships. Those parts are already manufactured to high tolerances and operate in a chemically controlled environment. A little etching somewhere in a pump body or in a key place on an impeller to reduce friction by a percent or two could pay off big time over the life of the device.
Right, hence, no current plans for a prototype.
It's the latter. (Strictly speaking "no employees in <roles that need admin credentials> residing in Russia or China")
> You cannot address climate change without drastic long term reduction in human activity/population.

Completely disagree. Reducing waste, recycling waste, and re-using waste are some of the ways to address climate change. Saying modifying human activity/population is the only way to solve a problem is as extreme as saying climate change isn't real.

> No business is out there emitting methane for shits and giggles.

No one says this, you're reducing the broader point to a poor cliff-note. The point is that the incentives for businesses to better address their waste are not there. If all one gets for managing waste responsibly is a higher bill every month and a good feeling in their stomach, why would a proper capitalist businessperson do that in the short term?
You want a single-user instance, like was mentioned before. No one else decides for you. By default a person spinning up a new single-user instance is free to follow-request anyone (most users have the software auto-accept follow requests).

Once that person begins opening their mouth, is when federated admins begin blacklisting (if required, at their discretion), preventing new follows and undo-ing existing follows. That's how they build, curate, and maintain their communities much like any other BBS, forum, or sub-reddit.

Most people appreciate a baseline standard employed by their admin so they themselves don't have to wade through porn, gore, and hateful content.

Believe me, this debate isn't new, Gab moving to ActivityPub brought the same cries of "we're being censored by admins, let the people decide for themselves". The admins, of course, laughed and said "my community members can leave or create a second account elsewhere on this open platform if they want that content". To no one's surprise, the non-Gab part of the Fediverse did not shrink.

Edit: And I've always explained to folks... advocate for single-user instances if concerned about admin decisions! Then the digital literate group of self-policing admin-users, grows! But then again, understand not everyone is on the internet to have to wade through porn, gore, and hateful content and wants to make that decision for themselves.

Edit2: Admin decisions are also transparent on Mastodon. The instance I am on for example lists decisions here: https://mastodon.technology/about/more
It's not that hard to buy a domain name anonymously with Monero and providing fake information. Some don't even ask for anything, see for example njal.la.
I think what helps is to keep two things strictly seperated:
observation and explaination.

Our observation is, that in the last 200 years the earth warmed faster than ever in its history. The fastest warming cycle before that took 4000 years for the same temperature.

So what really is settled is that there is scary fast warming that coincides with population growth and industrialization. This is not a theory, this is measurements.

Because a temperature rise this fast is kinda scary and we might wanna stop it if there is even the tiniest chance it is our own fault, scientists started to create models that try to explain the climate ever more acurrately.

Because they are models of a (in the true sense of the word) global system that is inherently chaotic in nature deriving very accurate predictions is hard, but the measurements are warming while we are at it and most predictions haven’t been that far off.

People who argue against men made climate change honestly just have no idea about the climate usually and often not even about the consequences. This is why you will get xenophobes arguing against climate change although they should be against it, if they are afraid of big amounts of foreign people fleeing their countries.

In the end the question is: if you are not sure whether climate change is manmade — how much of a chance would you take? Or is it that these people don’t want it to be real?
Are you saying that religion offers proof and skeptics just don't want to verify it? For example?
When some of the guys at Remedy wanted to benchmark things, they founded what is now Futuremark (3DMark, PCMark). It's cool that they're still pushing hardware to the limits.
Yeah, although it's been a while. Something very much like that is what I have in mind, though. My biggest complaint with LINQ is that it appears to be more-or-less another ORM: you're still dealing with objects, instead of datasets. (I never actually used it, though, so could very well be completely off base here.)

But yeah, that is at the very least better than SQL.
That's what Uncle Bob is insinuating, but is that what really happened? I can't even see the tweet he's talking about.

True, but it's an aerobic decomposition that produces CO2. Landfills tend to create anaerobic environments, where decomposition produces methane. Both are greenhouse gases, yes, but methane is the more potent of the two.
Well, recursion tests would be more for input... I usually limit all POST data to 5-10k and don't like to go over that. I also tend to use chunked uploads, that are a little slower, but serve to limit the size and time of any inbound work.
> While a very expressive and extendable language like Python seems well suited to researching the desired abstractions when designing neural nets and ML paradigms, it seems to me that a production phase would benefit from translating it to a 'sleek' language like Go — which forces you to think closer to the machine, and opens boulevards to safe performance.

This is a common perspective from outside of the ML field that arises usually from missing knowledge about the ML technology stack. Underneath the layer of expressive and exploratory Python lies a bedrock of optimized and domain-aware numerical libraries written in a combination of Fortran, C, C++, handwritten assembly and some HDLs. HPC resources are not cheap, so there is no software stack that provides a meaningful performance advantage over the one currently in use.

Plex transcoding mainly and yeah SABnzbd would take an eternity.

The DS1019+ has no issue with transcoding from what I’ve read, and can handle even up to 4K right?

I since switched to an Intel NUC running Ubuntu + Docker. I was able to use bash scripts to auto update everything nightly so it’s thankfully (almost) zero maintenance now that it is setup and it stores everything on my Synology.

Running outta space though...

To be honest I’ve been slowly replacing my Plex library with iTunes purchases. A lot of movies come up on sale for £2.99.

Apple even upgrade HD purchases to 4K for free and I don’t have to worry about hosting anything. Think given how many £££s I’ve spent on my Plex homelab vs buying from Apple I’d come out even and if factoring in time spent curating a digital library (a lot of time) I’d probably be somewhat ahead.

Still hedging my bets by keeping my Plex library though!

We're talking about "data scientists" for whom software development is not their primary focus. Since SPs and triggers do not share SQL's advantage of being declarative; they are instead imperative, and non-developers should spend as little time as possible within imperative domains.

I'm not as anti-trigger as I am SP. Though I stay away from triggers in any case as the rest of the world is fairly negative on them.

The laughing cows are the worst. But they make a pretty decent cheese.
The price is what it is because of excessive governmental regulations that have artificially driven up the cost of housing to astronomical levels.

At the end of the day, the homelessness problem in SF and other west coast cities is the result of the government looking the other way (i.e. not enforcing the law) combined with the fact that you can live outside most of the year.
I'm not even sure how to answer... so I'll just post some random bits.

* Part of it is cultural. From a young age regardless of whether religious or not, critical thinking is taught. Frequently that comes from studying the Talmud (~30% of the population is religious, ~85% of the population takes some Talmud class). That extends to the fact that dissension is seen as positive, and argument valuable. There's a long running joke that Israel's problem is that no one knows how to think inside the box.

* Military service is mandatory - this helps a tremendous amount with regards to organization, "just getting it done", work ethic, etc.

* Military protocol - Israel's military is very, very different from the US. Whilst there's plenty of "just do it", questioning is very much encouraged, though there's a time and a place.

* Entrepreneurship - I've never, ever met anyone (<50) in Israel who doesn't have some form of a side hustle. Stay at home moms will sell food, the janitor at the local school will sell knowledge. The woman down the street runs a tea and cakes story hour in the park. It's not always for money, but it has goals.

* Super intense community - Everyone knows everyone else, always. The number of ways people are connected to each other is rather intense. There's a famous story where a woman drives 5 hours north to attend the funeral of her mother, only to find out that she was her next door neighbour's teacher, and her other next door neighbour's camp counsellor - and no one grew up in the city they were in.

* No excuses attitude - it's just unacceptable period to have an excuse. When things fail, there's a why. When you or I fail, we fail, no sugar coating. The issue is learning from it - or not.

* Chutzpah - and this is huge. If you run into someone (say a VC) in an elevator and you have anything close to an idea - there's a 100% assumption by everyone in that interaction that you're going to pitch it, good or bad.

There are TONNES of bad things that come out of this too. But the above are some of the things I love.
France is reducing nuclear in the power mix because 50% is more than enough to supplement renewables and also because of aging utilities like Fessenheim that are becoming risky to operate and expensive to maintain. President Macron also pushed the target to 2035.
> Data should be normalized.

This is a rule of thumb, only, and depends on your definition of efficiency and your queries. If you normalize everything, especially with some analytics queries, you will quickly find silly barriers to query times caused by all of the required joins.
