As a product it was a disaster. What I would do if I was going to turn it into a company:

1) temporarily decrease the # of supported apps.

2) new custom react UI

3) call it project headless. try to discard a ton of code. keep the schemas, fork the services, grpc/capnproto them etc, tear out the good bits of the server sides of these apps. If an app has nothing special in it - discard it.

We all know in the long run this would be the least labor intensive way to execute a project like this. I bet you'd get a huge amount of contributions flowing in too.

In the federal prison system, an inmate can get a gang member label added to their record by staff. Once it is added, it will never be removed from the person's record.

I thought I'd share an anecdotal experience I had in the federal prison system.

Whenever inmates are transferred into a new prison, they are taken aside to a private room individually and interviewed by "SIS", the internal police at each prison. One of the things they screen for is gang affiliation, so they can have an idea the kind of trouble that might brew up with the new transfers.

I transferred to a USP that had recently been recommissioned as a medium security facility. The staff there were used to the really violent guys of the high security, and were very stern and commanding with processing the busload of guys I came in with. As we had all transferred in from another medium, we were not used to the brusque treatment. When I was taken back for my intake interview by SIS, I thought I'd have some fun.

The officer asked me to sit next to his desk and then said, "Alright, are you in a gang?", to which I replied, "Have you ever heard of DND?"

Reaching for his pen and pad, he said, "No. Have they been around long?" I replied, "About 30 years."

He stopped writing and raised his eyebrows at me. "Really?" His surprise was probably due to him learning of a long established gang that the federal government didn't know about.

I asked him, "Do you have any DNDers here?" He said, "No."

I looked him straight in the eyes and deadpanned in a low voice, "Well, you're gonna."

We held eye contact for about 10 seconds before he said I could go.

It took about a month longer for Property to release my personal property to me than it did for the guys I came in with. I assume that SIS officer wanted to read through all my Dungeons and Dragons books.
When a German street name is synthesised using English settings, its a proper butchering. Just not good at all.

I want the instructions in English - but I want the place-names in the native language. This is the only sensible way, yet none of the Maps vendors seem to have understood this. Do they not use their products?

It might just be the analogy talking; but that sounds like the plan to fix a problem that does not actually fix the problem. It may be a bad plan.

> $462b could be put into an education or infrastructure trust, and pay dividends towards our schools, public housing, roads, and transit networks.

If you think about it, you may discover you are describing what already happens. Your proposed solution is the fund managers are ... y'know, some bureaucrat ... and some % of the fund goes to government coffers. The current situation is the 1% are fund managers and the withdrawal rate is linked to their taxes paid. At a very high level all that proposal does is fiddle around the edges with what the effective rate of withdrawal and what gets invested in and it is entirely possible the total take will drop. The wealthy currently invest in housing, education & transit very visibly.

It is very unlikely that a government fund would survive without attracting a serious wave of leeches; the incentives to raid the fund and waste the money would be huge. The process is fraught. It would be far safer and probably more effective to look to incentives rather than subject investment to the erratic outcomes of government voting.
Sorry for the dumb question but what is a 4-way stop? In the UK we have roundabouts (but many drivers still have no clue which lane to get into, and don't migrate to the lane on the left after passing an exit, like they should).
Correct, but backwards compatibility does make a difference here, as in: there are surely quite a few cases where it would not be attractive to use a shortened hash if git hashes are changed incompatibly anyway, but where it will be attractive to use the shortened hash, because that keeps an existing setup working as before.

Also: the prefixing increases the length of the hash (and hence the desire to shorten it) without adding any security.

The main issue with changing energy source is a change in engine. Biodiesel requires little change, so it should be an excellent stop-gap as the industry hopefully hammers down on efficient, ethical and environmental energy storage.

That could easily be hydrogen, or even biofuel itself – the ultimate goal is to reduce the carbon cost of storing the energy. While lithium-ion has zero continuous cost, its initial cost is rather high, and if the battery is less efficient or prone to breakage more often its continuous cost (of repair and replacement) may well be worse.
I'm probably missing something, but isn't it simpler to just make both available separately and allow users to still reference by sha1, if they want to, while sha256 can be used for collision detection by git operations internally?

Where can $1k/mo. provide that? I live in nowhere Montana and the cheapest rent I could just find was $650/mo before utilities ($900/mo. in the town I went to high school at in California in a mobile home park, so it likely did not count space rent). Utilities: I'm not sure. I have a big place; I can spend as much as $600/mo in winter or $200/mo in summer. Let's say someone can get by on $100/mo. That $1k is gone in nowhere California and down to $250 in nowhere Montana. Let's say you can eat for $5/day, so there goes $150. You are now left $100 to manage everything else: transportation, clothing, phone, potentially internet, any unexpected expenses, and nevermind trying to save up first and last months rent and a deposit for utilities. I'd say $1k/mo is hard living. Heck, $3k/mo was really hard on my wife, kids, and I 15 years ago. $1k/mo might keep you from abject poverty, put I feel it is within poverty level.
Your comment makes me imagine a more nuanced technical interview process - i.e you get to provide feedback to criticisms from the interviewer, you get to escalate/request review from someone else at the employer if you disagree with the interviewer. A platform ensures that the protocols are abided by by both employer and candidate.

These sorts of interactions sound pretty far out now, but a few years ago who would have thought that people would be typing code into a web page in real time as part of a job interview process?

There is a downside that this would mean commit-prefixes remain sensitive to collisions. Hence anyone checking out a commit by a hash-prefix would still be vulnerable.

Not a dealbreaker by far, but still a slight mark against this solution.

My thoughts exactly. We will still need cars of course, but don't necessarily need to replace them one-to-one. I hope alternative transport will fulfill most needs in a way that will reduce car ownership in the first place.
Driving appeals, very much, to the ego.

Having freedom and control over a physical system that is bigger and more powerful than you, is a liberating experience for those whose spirit is used to a smaller, lighter frame.

Car manufacturers know this - they cater their interior design to appeal to this factor - and it is indeed a cultural phenomenon well and truly imprinted on Western society.

"Freedom means, freedom to drive yourself anywhere you want."

This 'liberation' has become a chain. Real human beings spend hours in these containers, driving themselves somewhere, feeling powerful.. driving to their work or home, or whatever.

2 to 4 hours a day, on the mobile throne.

When computers start to take that freedom, its going to tweak quite a few freak-outs. And really, why shouldn't it?

Ultimately, automotive industries are hedging their bets that cars will no longer be personal possessions, but rather something you summon on an as-needed basis.

This would be a highly desirable condition for the rent-makers/lease-share holders, who are really pushing this forward - along with their buddies in the insurance mega-industries, who stand to gain a great deal more control over their customers lives when it comes to computerised automation.

Myself, I'd personally prefer cars were user-serviceable and user-operable, under no conditions do I need a computer, just make me a better car. Preferably electric, simple as possible, and ships with a manual.
Yes, but each movie is a single entity and the number is part of that entity. Just like with "street+house number". It's one entity, not two.
Yeah, kinda agreeing here. The hash length will need to be increased anyway, but concatenation of SHA1 and SHA256 will be 104 bytes in total when displayed (40 + 64), which is a lot.

It may be a better to display SHA-256 commit hashes, but accept SHA-1 hash prefixes for old commits. It may be confusing for git to accept hashes that aren't visible in `git log`, but it's probably for the better.

I’ve had something like this for about three years now, except it doesn’t open vim, I just use a single read command and it appends whatever I type with a time stamp. One file per quarter. And there’s a cron job to pop up a window each hour to remind me to type what I’m working on.

I’ve used this to figure out how much time I spent on certain tasks by sampling it Monte Carlo style. And sometimes when I run into some weird non-googleable problem, it happens again a few months later and the solution is in those files.

It’s like my own real-life syslog. Or like a scientist’s lab notebook.
> When the current government came into power I imagined they would do whatever they could to rescue that situation.

What on earth led you to believe that? Nothing that any British government of recent vintage has actually done supports it. They seem to be utterly uninterested in UK based manufacturing and what little is left is mostly owned by foreign entities. The same goes for service industries such as rail where ideology prevents long term state ownership but only if the state in question is the UK. See for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_Cargo_UK which describes a British rail freight company wholly owned by Deutsche Bahn which is wholly owned by the German Federal government. I don't mean that DB is necessarily bad for either the company in question or the UK but it seems odd that so much of that sort of thing seems to happen in the UK but seems less popular in other countries.
It starts with the self-perception of ones work as pure drugery. From there it moves into all fields.
Monotonous drugery is preferable to attentionneeding drudgery.
I'd be rather sceptical about poverty comparisons between the US and other countries, because the US is one of the few countries that doesn't officially accept relative poverty measures. This means that in reality poor people in the US may be much poorer in international comparison than it might seem on paper. Sometimes the comparisons are adjusted or correct, because they are not based on absolute measures, but I'd rather check the source of the figures first to see how poverty was measured in each country.

The public should care about relative poverty, since social mobility and social stigma hinge almost solely on that and not on absolute poverty (for which the threshold is usually set in whatever lowest possible way that pleases politicians). Children of the poorest families have almost no chances of breaking out of that life, leading to ghettos, social unrest, criminal gangs, drug abuse, etc. You just have to go to Skid Row in L.A. to see the effects of poverty in action. There is a photographer who currently documents poverty and other problems in the US on Youtube, it's a very interesting watch.[1]

Correct, and I think this is what they are doing -- you can optionally keep the sha1s around.
Right, I just had to look it up - the old ban didn't include hybrids and plug-in hybrids, the new one does:

"In 2018 the government announced plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans from 2040 onwards as part of the Road to Zero Strategy, but it said that ultra-low-emissions vehicles – including hybrids and plug-in hybrids – emitting less than 75g/km of CO2 would still be allowed.

However, the new plan will ban the sale of any vehicle that is not zero emissions. Based on current technology, that would allow only electric or hydrogen vehicles to be sold. "[0]

We had a similar course at Columbia (half semester, 1 credit). The professor was good and the information pretty useful; very similar material to this one. The paradox was that for the ones who knew the significance of such a course, well, we had already learned most of these things the hard way. Maybe our other CS profs should have advertised the course as an optional requirement to get people interested early instead of their junior/senior year.

The tweet says that addon support has been merged in Firefox Preview, which I understand as the ability to install addons in general. Then it follows with a reply showing how uBlock Origin can be installed easily.

The title of this post could be clearer, lest people (like me) get confused and think of it as uBlock Origin being merged into Firefox Preview.

The problem is actually a bit more subtle than that. Practically speaking they don't add that much value over the next candidate. My estimate is any large company has 10s of people who could be an effective CEO. The competition at that level is absurd. With that sort of supply it doesn't make sense to pay them so much; especially considering how many of them turn out to be not particularly good at the job and just buffeted by luck and coincidence.

So with that in mind, the inequality between CEOs and general management suggest that the process of picking the CEOs is corrupted. It is possible (imho, likely) that the most competent people aren't being appointed to the role. That is bad for investors, workers and the public. The company law around appointing CEOs probably needs to be changed.
