> Why do you think it's the wrong way?

Because the porcelain is a nonsensical pile of crap on it’s own so you really can not make sense of it from the top down, it actively resist that approach.

That’s not an assertion that it’s a good thing mind, just that it’s the only one: learning git from the bottom up is much easier than top-down, and people who dislike that approach are simply hosed.
It s funny how free certificates are now easier to use than overpriced ones. Knock on wood, letsencrypt works well , except when it doesn't , e.g. when you remove a subdomain from your webserver and then it refuses to renew them for the entire domain. But still it s the best thing to happen to the web in a long time.
Just a rough estimate:

7x Platinum $350k/y = 2,450M

2x Gold $150k/y = 300k

73x Silver $40k/y (vary depending on # of employees) = 2,920M

In total, LE receives over $5.5M a year. I think they are covered
I can't imagine STMicroelectronics isn't already in the process of designing new chips.
61p is second class standard letter weighing up to 100g without any extra guarantees of delivery. As it’s a legal requirement to do the census, I’d use the price estimate for the signed deliveries; as it’s meant to cover a household and is quite long, I’d estimate the 100-250g/large letter price band; together, that’s £2.52 each way.
> Emphasis on real. There is definitely something that most people would refer to as "self-driving" in cars on the road.

Then you'd have to define what a self-driving car actually means. At least for me, self-driving means level 4 upwards. Everything below I'd consider assisted driving.

Just because the car manages to navigate a parking lot with 5km/h relatively reliable, that doesn't mean that at the end of the year it'll be able to drive the car with 150 km/h on the Autobahn.

After a while you get used to a new location too much and the start finding some issues and inconveniences, explaining in hindsight to yourself why you dislike that particular place.

These are more or less the absolute minimum cost for doing it - and when has anything beyond an MVP cost the absolute minimum?

Any real-world project, especially at that scale has much more external costs. There is also enforcement, publicising, security handling, approvals, way more than 1 person to come up with the questions (1 random employee designing the census would be such a waste if you get an average social scientist, that it's ridiculous to propose), compliance, double-checking, etc. etc.

Going from 47m to 906m - when you account for the costs that exist in the real world for something as big and comprehensive like this - is actually fairly reasonable.
The initial step is always the hardest. Choosing a suitable location for your EU presence can be a difficult task and if you can do everything from your HQ there is no reason to even find one. But once you have paid that cost upfront then you can arbitrarily choose to expand in either UK or EU (whichever makes the most sense).
> use a small windfall on buying a small luxury like a pretty dress or trip to Disneyland

It's still a pretty bad idea if they have literally zero precautionary savings and are one unexpected expense away from disaster. Keeping that windfall in the piggy bank would make them a lot happier and less stressed out in the long term than reminiscing about that crazy trip to Disneyland. But I can see where being severely socially marginalized all the time might make it really hard to think properly about these things. That's often a way bigger issue than the actual money problems, really.

> I view not learning the basic concepts of how git works inside like trying to learn SQL without know what a table is.

That’s complete nonsense. A table is not a low level implementation detail of sql it’s a core feature.

And I don’t have to known how tables are represented on disk or what they store exactly to acquire a good intuition of how things work.

SQL is in and of itself an abstraction decoupled from the underlying concerns of implementation and execution. Something git’s porcelain definitely is not.
OpenPush could be very valuable for open source Android apps once it is fully developed. Currently, open source Android apps that do not depend on Google Play Services are using WebSocket or Server-Sent Events (SSE) for push notifications. For example, Signal falls back to WebSocket when Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is not available.

Tutanota published a blog post explaining how they deliver push notifications to their Android app with SSE instead of FCM:

https://f-droid.org/en/2018/09/03/replacing-gcm-in-tutanota....

OpenPush would reduce the amount of work needed to implement push notifications compared to the made-from-scratch implementations developed by Signal and Tutanota.

This issue looks very similar to web devs still struggling with legacy code to support IE.

Should you simply drop support for IE and punish people relying on it and hope it dies quickly?

Or should you maintain legacy code, and actually helping IE to survive by supporting it?

I find that issue to be quite complicated and I'm still unsure if there is a right answer to that.

I've been working at a dedicated office at the house of a family member who also works from home, ~2.5 miles away. As long as it's not raining or too cold (below ~25°F/-4°C), I bike there in the morning. Other days I either drive or work from home. Although I prefer on site, this feels ideal for remote:

- Exercise most mornings
- Ability to socialize
- Comfortable space
- Privacy
- Work/home boundaries
- Fridge to store food in, and ability to leave my laptop there so I don't have to carry anything on my bike ride (I use my desktop at my house).

This would also be workable at the house of a sufficiently close friend, I think.

I also like voice or video conferencing with others, without actually talking to them, just working at the same time. It helps build some of that "coworking space feel" without most of the downsides.

I searched for deduplication on Backblaze and it's definitely not what I want.

The feature I want is exactly as advertised by TimeMachine : an ability to restore a blank MBP/hdd to a point in time on the Time Machine backup timeline. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203981#macos

Apparently, you can pay backblaze $$ and they'll ship you a USB drive assuming you backed up your TimeMachine to backblaze:
https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000046834-Ho...

So, I might as well have a local USB drive taking TM backups. Point is, Time Machine has a specific utility that Backblaze cannot provide. I am not sure if anything like this is even possible on Windows?

I think you are under-appreciating the amount of perception that goes into driving. We are accustomed to making constant micro adjustments constantly while driving.

IPv6 Facts
If you’re wondering about how common this should be:

if schizophrenia occurs at a rate of 0.72% in the population (McGrath et al., 2008) and congenital blindness occurs at an estimated rate of 0.03% in people born in the 1970s and 1980s (based on Robinson et al., 1987), then the joint probability of a person having both conditions, if the two are independent, would be 0.02% or 2 out of every 10,000. Although this is a low prevalence rate, it is higher than the rates for childhood-onset schizophrenia (Remschmidt and Theisen, 2005), and many other well-known medical conditions (e.g., Hodgkin's lymphoma, Prader Willi syndrome, Rett's Syndome). Based on this estimated prevalence rate, in the United States alone (with a population of 311, 591, 917, as of July 2011, according the US census), there should be approximately 620 congenitally blind people with schizophrenia. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3615184/

That does do rule out misdiagnosis etc, but it does seem to support a correlation.
> set an example to scare other members

Ok, that attitude is fine. If I thought the EU was doing that, I would‘ve moved to Canada.

Trouble if, the only thing the EU has the power to do is to remove U.K. access to EU membership benefits. That’s not “vindictive”, it’s what the UK voted for after being repeatedly told this would happen.
Until the end of this year nothing will change. You can still move to and settle in the UK, if you're crazy enough to want to for some reason.

My Mazda has the same issue with cars in front taking exits. I’ve also had it brake unexpectedly on the highway on Rt 95 in RI. I was coming over the crest of a small hill and in front was a stone overpass. The angle of the radar was still elevated so it thought that I was headed into a stone wall. Except the road dips down well before the overpass so in reality that isn’t a possibility.

The warning lights and alarm went off and then the car slammed on the brakes. Thankfully no one was behind me.

Yes, I see the reasoning now. But isn't this pure syntactic sugar? I.e. if exceptions weren't costly, a good way to implement TryParse() would be to simply call Parse(), catch the exception and dress it up as a boolean.
> I didn't spend 15 years writing it. It's a part-time effort over 10 years.

It's not that far off. I'm taking your example as rather confirming the point rather than refuting it.
If everyone answered their one letter I'm sure the census would be a lot cheaper, but I think most of the real cost comes from employing thousands of people who go around the country knocking on the doors of those who haven't responded yet.
> OCR it (free)

Nothing at this scale is ever free, and handwriting OCR is terrible.

The current census process includes a quantity of in-person question-asking; I don't know how much of the cost that makes up but it can only be considerable.

Data protection and information security issues are probably considerable too.
Trails will help highway traffic between major cities, but it doesn't address how spread out suburbs are from people's jobs and support infra (grocery stores, doctors, restaurants, etc). It's a chicken-and-egg problem, now:

- people are spread out because they've owned cars, so the distance doesn't bother them

- If you take their cars away, they're too spread out to support themselves, because of how the towns were built.

> Then you'd have to define what a self-driving car actually means.

I said "for most people". For most people I know, a car that will change lanes, navigate freeways and even exit freeways is "self driving". It may be completely unreliable but even a toaster that always burns the bread is called a toaster: no one says "you need to define what a toaster means to you".

> At least for me, self-driving means level 4 upwards.

I have literally zero clue what the first three "levels" are or what "level 4" means, and I'd wager 99% of people who buy cars wouldn't either.

> that doesn't mean that at the end of the year it'll be able to drive the car with 150 km/h on the Autobahn.

30 seconds found me a video on youtube of some British guy using autopilot at 150kph on a German autobahn last June.

Again: I'm not suggesting that it is a reliable "self driving car". I'm suggesting that it is sold and perceived as a car that can drive itself, in spite of a laundry list of caveats and restrictions.
The only problem with hardware store melamine is the performance degrades quickly and they ghost badly with almost any brand of marker that remains on the board for a week or so.

I’ve tried a bunch of hacks including wiping the board with WD40 and have since moved on to glass write boards when and where I can.

I’ve had times in my career where I didn’t have $200 to spend, and the hardware store option is great, but $200, in the end, is a small price to pay if you use the board for more than a year.
git is a data structure manipulation tool, mouse is a cursor manipulation tool. A much better analogy would be trying to use a mouse without having a good idea of what the cursor is for.

The only difference is that grasping the cursor will probably take you minutes because it's a simple concept, and grasping the data structure takes a bit more effort because it's just a more complicated topic.

You don't need to know the implementation details of git, but you need to know the data structure it operates on, cause otherwise you're just walking in the dark.
