I've been a fan of regular github issues and milestones and labels.

I'll typically have milestones for the next 2 or 3 releases, and then use labels for tracking bugs, features and future items and nice-to-haves. I like this because it makes it easy to keep the code linked to issues the way I'm used to with my day job.

The nice thing is it lets me wear two separate hats. Some days I don't have the mental bandwidth to code, or I'm feeling extra creative when it comes to coming up with roadmap ideas, so I'll go into the issues and just write. On other days, I just open the issues, filter by bugs or features and grab an item and get to work.

I've tried Trello and Basecamp, but having that separate from the code just made too much overhead to keep track of. Having everything under one roof makes it so I actually end up adhering to the list of tasks.

I'm late here myself, but it seems to me the problem is that Ardour sticks to the long-since-EOL'd GTK 2 and relies on non-upstreamable behavior. The bad actor here doesn't seem to be the distros IMO.

That's why attribution is such a big story in advertising. With semi-persistent identifiers, you can learn the story of whether someone was:

1) Visited your store before they saw your ad

2) Only visited your store after seeing your ad

You can do this online or for physical store locations. There are lots of players there because big marketing teams are fairly sophisticated now: they want cross-channel identity (across mobile, web, TV), attribution, and measurement.
I am not arguing how simple or complex it is. I am arguing against the claim that "you cannot kill a perpetrator who, most likely, was committing a crime, which does not warrant a death penalty". If you make such an argument you also must agree that in a state without death penalty you have no right to kill any perpetrator during any crime, which seems like an extremely ridiculous position to me.
Yes it would be wrong to hurt people unless it was to protect oneself or others.

If you're talking about "politics" in this sense, then yes, I agree with what you're saying. However, I think the person you're responding to is saying "politics" in terms of inter-group and inter-department relationships.

Egos, arrogance, and insecurities run rampant in academia. Science, like any other fields, are not above these issues, which does hurt "good science."
Reflecting on Twelve Months of Writing
That's correct, it does mostly what you tell it to and stays out of the way. If you want error checking beyond the test suite you have to do it yourself. The issues people have with C comes mostly from treating it like any other language. C is all about control and flexibility.

Further, special care is taken to reduce the number of allocations, often using pools/slab allocators. And value semantics, or rather byte array semantics, which means items are treated as blocks of N bytes rather than pointers/references.
Thanks for writing that. I have been trying to explain for years that in most people, the brain rewards things like this in the same way that it rewards eating candy. Saying that doing something that gives you a pump of serotonin is selfless is ridiculous.

Show me someone who is absolutely repulsed by something, but does it anyway because creates the serotonin pump for someone else, and I'll show you a selfless person.
In your words what are the politics involved with "the finders" declassified documents? I don't really see this as a partisan issue, though I suspect it's perceived that way (and would be my first explanation for why there's not a greater appetite from people getting the "truth" -- whatever that ends up being).

You're just redefining what being "hot stuff" is.

Under that definition, anyone on the face of the earth can be "hot stuff." You don't even need to go to bootcamp. Just read some online tutorials, make a website. Done. You're just calling the average person "hot stuff."

In my opinion, you're only hot when you know how to do something that is rare, very hard to learn and in demand.

Here in Colorado, I have none of your problems. The wait is usually 0-10 minutes for me. I can check their inventory online for most dispensaries, even pre-order only for some places. I can also call and ask them. The values are cheaper than the black market or about the same. I am starting to be able to pay with my credit card now, but primary it still is cash. The products I buy are amazing in quality. You didn't say which state you are in, so I'm guessing Oregon? I went in to a dispensary when I was there a few years ago and I felt like I was in a drug den. You had to sit around with a bunch of gross people, and had to have a consultation with a doctor... yeah I walked out of there and went to Washington.

I try to put everything in my RSS reader.

Currently I subscribed to 7110 feeds.
(YouTube, SoundCloud, Twitter, Instagram, BiliBili, pixiv.net, Facebook, DevianArt, GitHub, News sites, Reddit, ... - there are no limits :D)

Reader of choice:
* https://www.inoreader.com because they support filtering of feeds (even RegEx)

Unfortunately not every site offers native RSS support, that's why I use some tools to generate RSS feeds from these sites.

For example:
* https://docs.rsshub.app/en/ (as Docker container)
* http://createfeed.fivefilters.org/ (self-hosted version)
* https://visualping.io/

As soon as I have some time, I will try to convert email archives and discord channels to RSS feeds, too - saw some python projects about this :p
The $100B Man: How LVMH's Bernard Arnault Stitched Together a Giant Fortune
I really enjoyed taking Chemistry in college, especially the labs. I learned a lot and found it to be far more engaging that my Mathematics curriculum.

The problem with Chemistry is that to do anything interesting professionally, you must have a PhD. The PhD in Chemistry is a long, difficult slog.
Well I was in CS about 30 years ago at this point so I am talking out of my old crusty butt but I recall that while we did fancy FP things in lisp and APL or whatever, the software we wrote was still on a very small scale compared to what you work on once you get into a job and inherit a huge codebase. I think the term "does something useful" is the point of contention on this. We wrote things like, take a document and word wrap all the paragraphs. That is useful. But that's not really a real-world enterprise level assignment.

Again, that's the crusty old perpsective informing me on this, your sister could be building out a self-driving car platform for all I know in Haskell, good on them !

The document contains a pretty detailed description of the findings of an excavation under the school which found a lot more than just a crawl space.

Back To The Floppy – a love letter to the floppy disk
I feel like the primal joy of programming in Python is somehow lost between those type hints. Type hints even though being very useful do look alien in Python. I myself like type hinting but cannot get rid of the feeling.
Funny, but in reality, most people fail to find that sweet middle ground of "optionality". We have a middle-sized project in Python where every single object is type hinted, even if it is a simple one-liner function. And at some point you start having a feeling that if that is what Python development looks like, there must be something we are missing.
But what are the actual reasons of overdoing it? Could it be your prior long-term exposure to the typed languages, magic IDE plugin or is it just an opinionated attempt to push the language into unnatural domain? I can't help but keep asking myself these whenever I see such heavily verbose Python code.
Fascinating. May I ask how one would go about learning Sumerian. Any resources/online classes would be much appreciated.

Checking out where Oxus flowed and ancient civilizations lived seems like a 2020 thing to do.
There's no such thing as a "too current a version of rust". All Rust compilers (since 1.0) compile all previous versions of code and will continue to do so.

I'm not sure you can have one without the other.
I sometimes like to think of ethics as an incentive system that is (generally) stronger than social norms but weaker than laws. Once you reduce it to incentives, it is a matter of comparing incentives. If the incentive to behave ethically is much lower than the incentive to not, then people will pick the better option. That some people seem to be more ethical than others can be viewed as the extent they estimate the incentives from different behaviors (importance placed in the thoughts of others, if they believe some greater power judges them for their actions, etc.).

> Why does that [GPS] matter?

GPS matters because it's important that the phone doesn't know where it is. I mean, if it doesn't know where it is, there's no need to worry that adversaries will access the information.

> You can turn location services off.

Off entirely? Even for the OS? Or for rogue apps?

> Turning it on doesn't transmit your location to anyone.

No, but it generates location information that could leak. And if the phone uses WiFi to supplement GPS, it necessarily communicates with some remote server.
Git of Theseus – Analyze how a Git repo grows over time
The title of the submission was changed after my initial comment. The original title was "Mathematics Free Open Source Textbooks", which I interpreted as "textbooks without mathematics that are open source." My initial comment was intended to clarify the content on the submission for people reading the comments.
This is the main problem keeping me from using this right now. I don't like installing binaries that conflict with system package names because I'm tin foil about stability and the super small chance that some installation/config script for some other package I rely on references `what` and breaks.

@imsnif 2 questions:

1. Any chance you'd be willing to rename the package? I get it if not, but that would be so dope.
2. Would you consider putting this up as a cask on Brew? Brew is essentially the most popular package manager for Mac that I know of. This isn't as big of a deal for me honestly, but thought I'd ask.

The EUPL has network protection, but it can be circumvented pretty easily. That’s because the EUPL also has a clause which lets you convert EUPL code to any of a long list of “Compatible Licenses”, including GPLv2, GPLv3, and many others. So you can just convert to a license without network protection and use the software under those terms.

(Technically you can only convert when distributing a derivative work “based upon both the Work and another work licensed under a Compatible Licence”, but you can just find some GPL-licensed function which can be put somewhere in the codebase. Oh, and you may need multiple people to pull this off.)
I can't figure out how the linked list is used. Where is the per-element data?

I agree there is or can be a lot of overlap between OOP and aspects of functional. With some diligent language factoring, I suspect they can be blurred to be one in the same. That way one doesn't have to learn two different sets of rules and syntax. But, I'm not sure Java can fix such cleanly without breaking backward compatibility.

I'd be interested in a compare and contrast with AIDs research. Same time frame but AIDs researchers threw everything but the kitchen sink at it and made progress.

>However, once they get approval for a fix from all countries

That's a big assumption. The planes are already unmanageable, even if MCAS is fixed: human pilots aren't strong enough to turn the trim wheels manually in an emergency.

>and the pilots get whatever training required for the fix

I don't see how this is possible without forcing pilots to get a totally different type rating for this aircraft. That's the whole reason they put MCAS in there in the first place: to avoid a different type rating, which would require an expensive add-on certification.
It's not impressive. The problem is, no one yet realizes that any person who can learn algebra can achieve this level of skill in less time then it took to pick up algebra. That's what I mean by "you can learn it at a bootcamp." You can hire a random homeless person off the street and in a couple months have him be a competent junior programmer. I'd be willing to pay minimum wage for that level of skill and like you said, that's probably all I need for "glue code."

What's going on right now is a bubble. People perceive these skills to be "hot stuff" when in fact it is just "average" or even "below average"

When the bubble bursts all programmer wages will go down after everyone realizes that programming is a skill akin to driving or algebra. Anyone can do this trivial work.

Second this... As someone who's a very small start-up the GitLab CI/CD pipelines are SO much more simple/manageable vs. anything I've ever done with Jenkins.

I self-host GitLab on Linode with a single runner in the cloud (and sometimes use runners on my local machines to speed processes up).

With 15-ish hours of configuration I have my GitLab hosting my SCM, my CI/CD, all of my static HTML sites, my artifact storage, my Docker registry, and even my documentation (I've almost switched 100% over to using their Web IDE to edit markdown).

I've been running this way for over a year and it's incredibly easy to keep maintained. GitLab's upgrade cycles are some of the smoothest around and are always packed with useful features. Overall I've been self-hosting GitLab for about 7 years - it's one of the best software products I've ever used.

Although I love to shill for them - I have no affiliation with GitLab outside of being an enthusiastic user.

I was also talking about "politics" in terms of inter-group relationships, not electoral political parties.

What I meant by "public" is that the funding decisions are publicly reviewable in some way; i.e. other scientists can see and judge the funding decisions after the fact. As opposed to going to a company or rich person for private funding, which is less common but does happen.
IIRC, most of those were just accusations and quite possibly just "made up".

This isn't a behavior management wants, and there's a lot of internal effort to reduce it.
