The rebuttal itself is a lot more comical than any joke: literally countering Knuth’s “code should read and flow like prose for full understanding” with “f you, look at what I can do with my 20 years of hacking and thousands of lines of code I’ve never seen, written by someone else”.
Actually, Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use is 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions (2010 numbers). That is second only to Electricity and Heat Production at 25%. So it isn't relatively minor, but it is, as you point out, an important activity.

At least according to this source...

Reading the post title, I think my brain hit a segfault.

I sometimes want to undo an hour of work. Git to the rescue.

I sometimes want to compare code now to code then. Git the the rescue.

Sometimes, I have to undo days of work. Git to the rescue.

Sometimes a really good git commit will help me understand why something changed (though, I contend this should be documented in the code with comments). Links to tickets, other files that were changed at the same time, etc. Git to the rescue.

I _want_ code reviews. It is how we learn from each other and get better. Git to the rescue.

I run automated tests against my code to make sure it works the way I want. Multiple layers. Especially at the black box layer (ie, does it do what the customer wants). Sometimes my new code breaks tests and I want to easily switch between the known stable version and my broken version as I fix my version. Git to the rescue.

Sometimes I want to share my code to help a colleague learn. Online source code viewer to the rescue! (cough, Github, cough). To leverage Github? Git to the rescue.
That is such an annoying maximum speed. It's just shy of the speed limits of many residential areas. In Germany on towns it's generally 50kmh. On the US many roads have 30 or 35mph. This is just slow enough to be annoying to be behind and fast enough to make it not trivial to overtake.

I say this as someone who wants a commuter vehicle similar to this. It's fine for me if it cannot go on the freeway, but it must be able to not hold up traffic everywhere else.

Edit: I also prefer the shape of the Toyota iRoad. While that thing can go 37mph I think 50mph or at least 45 is the minimum to not be a nuisance.

A few years ago I attended a conference talk from one of the Let's Encrypt folks. At the end, when he took questions, someone asked something along the lines of "what if the government targets Let's Encrypt for sneaky surveillance things". And his reply was something along the lines of "We're partially founded by the EFF. The EFF is actively looking for organizations that the government has done that with, in order to sue the government."

I made the same evaluation 2 months ago and came to the same decision.

But in my case it was because my existing database is a fairly complicated beast with a lot of updating through stored procedures on views. Hasura wanted to have control of what is happening in the database and there was zero chance that it would agree with the existing triggers about what should happen or how it worked. (Example of an issue, Hasura wants to own the view and view structure so that it can make real time subscriptions work.)

By contrast Postgraphile was happy to be pointed at a schema of views for just what it should see, read a https://www.graphile.org/postgraphile/smart-tags-file/ and believe what it was told there about the underlying database structure, and then expose an API that showed what I wanted it to show without breaking what was under the hood.
I'm a bit confused to read that because whilst they are hashed for reuse (requires optimising for ad hoc workloads to do this?), unless the text of the query is an identical match it will need to compile another separate query plan and won't reuse the existing plan. This means you can end up in a situation where you have many ad hoc requests causing significant memory consumption. Would you be able to speak as to why prepared statements aren't necessary in MSSQL - I'm happy to link to some blog articles that are arguing the total other direction.

But, at the end of the day, it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I use repls, shells, notebooks, etc, on a regular basis. Unix tools solve some problems. Repls solve other problems. Notebooks another. What's important, to me, is to be able to be able to make the most out of them all, despite their flaws, because they're simply the tools that we have in our toolchain. It would be a shame to not learn our own tools, when they can offer us so, so much.

It does have some nice features. 16Gb of eMMC so you can get away with not buying an SD card or net booting. It also has compass and gyro on board. And there's a powered realtime clock (although I don't care about that given ntp and all).

But the form factor is way larger, and requires more amperage from the PSU. The page says it "eats RPi for desert" but it isn't all that much faster - I doubt it is noticeably faster - and only has half the memory of RPi's current max. There are other things than CPU speed to take into account when it comes to eating anything for lunch, so I could be wrong there.

So, pros and cons, it does still look like a good product.

You're not wrong, but it's more complicated than that. Some Japanese wear them for fashion reasons, just because everybody else is wearing one. Some (usually women) because wearing a mask means you don't have to wear lipstick in public, which means you can get out the door faster in the morning. And a lot of people (wrongly) believe that a mask helps keep you from getting sick. If only the sick wore them you wouldn't see nearly as many as you do on the streets in Tokyo.
Lmao, no just joking.
>there is no harm from taking synthetic thyroid hormone

Where are you getting this crazy idea? Have you ever known anyone who took it? I have two relatives (not biological) on synthroid and even small changes in doses have massive effects on their metabolism, tiredness, etc. Taking thyroid hormone when you don't need it is not harmless, just like any drug or hormone.

The top two items in the drop down menu should probably be swapped to make more sense - first the board, and THEN the board-plus.

According to a government survey from 2017 or so, the number of single parent families was hovering around 1.2 million. This is almost exactly 1 percent of the population which doesn't seem much until you compare it to the number of children under the age of 14 which is 15.53 million people.
Now their ratio gets closer to 8 percent.

That doesn't seem very low to me.
Broadly speaking, I was trapped in a lower tier city for a couple weeks after LNY, which is where I saw two corpses removed from my apartment complex. Not in Hubei. Recently allowed to travel back to Beijing.
The reason there's an "exception" for days is that the numbers are the widely-used names for the day of the month. Months arguably don't have widely-used numeric names, although it's pretty reasonably to argue that because numeric month-and-day formatting is so ubiquitous it would have been okay to 1-index the months.

It occurs to me that "9/11" is the one date I can think of where the month is commonly verbally referred to by its number.
I have this issue on the Galaxy S10e (stock). I get the white screen of death after a while.

The phone seems fine with it gone as I use regular Firefox.

> The measure of a platform is not how easy it is to use for it's weakest users, it's what it's more proficient users are able to accomplish with it.

It depends on who the target users are and what the platform's trying to do. An OS like iOS which is designed for complete novices should be judged on how easy it is for them to use (and it does this reasonably well, or at least it did until they started getting silly with the undiscoverable multitouch stuff.)
> NAT punching isn't terribly hard after a lightweight rendezvous.

Has that been true for very long? It seems like nowadays it is trivial, but a decade ago it was extremely common for users to have to do manual port forwarding to receive connections.

As for VPSs, that's basically a non-starter in terms of user experience, similar to the issue you raise with p2p software. For the audience of HN, NAT etc. are a non-issue, but for real democratization to occur, the process needs to be as simple as "install app, run app, share link provided by app to friends".
That same link to CNX Software points out other hardware differences that you can see on the board, such as the move of the SD card power switch.
They probably could use some cheap blob storage like Backblaze B2 which is very cheap ($0.005 GB/month storage, $0.01 G download) for storing artifacts then put Cloudflare in-front of it.

If artifacts are treated as immutable most of the traffic will be from the CDN and as they are immutable can have a far future cache-control.
> people would rather feel nice about themselves than make actual change.

Alternatively: people desperately want actual change, but are prevented from seeing it by structural details of their government that they can't fix alone. At least... eliminating microplastics and wasted food, or buying renewable electricity and using it to power a personal vehicle, or eating less meat, or taking transit... these are things we can do, if not to fix the problem at least to demonstrate our commitment to its solution in a way that other people can see and hopefully emulate.

I mean, look: addressing climate change requires extensive government action, period. Everyone knows this. But all I can do is vote. After that, what? Is your position that the rest of us should just shut up, eat steaks and buy pickups until the rest of "you" get around to agreeing with us?
And most bathrooms don't have towels to dry your hands. You're expected to bring your own towel, leave with wet hands, or use the electric blow-dryer and scatter germs all over the bathroom. For a country as obsessed with bathroom hygiene as Japan is, the lack of hand towels seems bizarre to me.

Although there are a number of socially related reasons - there are likely some significant immediate commercial reasons to do so.

If you're in a service related industry - do you want staff coming to work if they are (or recently) suffering from digestive illnesses? How would an outbreak of people getting sick after being at your facility look? It could potentially result in very very bad publicity - to the point of destroying your business.

If you're running a smaller business / facility - do you want an employee coming in and spreading the illness to your other workers in the early stages of being sick (and then later taking time off)? This could result in your business lacking sufficient staff to open if you can't use labor hire staff.

The reason why it might be good for businesses to provide an incentive (like sick pay) not to work when sick is that it reduces the risk of negative outcomes to the business.

Concise aphorisms that encapsulate wisdom often trade comprehensive nuance for brevity. It is up to the reader to look beyond the literal words for the value in the aphorism. My favorite example is the golden rule, which invites you to consider other people's experiences and perspectives, to generously value their experience on par with how you value your own, and treat them accordingly. A literal and simplistic application of the golden rule, though, would often be a terrible idea as it ignores critical differences in our wants, values, life circumstances, and abilities.
That is the rational for ‘tort reform’, to make these numbers more predictable.

Well, the parameter of a Timer is of type Duration:

A Duration represents the elapsed time between two instants as an int64 nanosecond count. The representation limits the largest representable duration to approximately 290 years.

Which is not really good because we have to calculate the time between now() and Saturday. If "wall time" changes, the scheduler will not be triggered when expected.

In that case I would not rely on Timer to use it in a cron-like fashion, or trigger a Ticker every second, check the _current_ wall time, and decide if anything needs to be done.

Anything by association is part of reality and I'm not sure how people are supposed to negotiate with that. If you march with a KKK rally, are you associated with the KKK now?

These are all questions of guilt by association, no?

This is just the anthropic principle. The fact that somebody was first doesn't mean something wasn't obvious.

I like to complain about De Morgan's Laws, which state that:

(1) If neither of two things is true, then they're both false. (And vice versa.)

(2) If two things aren't both true, then one or both of them are false. (And vice versa.)

Augustus De Morgan lived in the 1800s, but obviously these laws were well known for many millennia before him. Having these laws named after you is the honorable-mention-in-the-Special-Olympics of making discoveries. It's an insult to the concept of naming things after people.

The question is: Should someone be able to present a position on either side of such questions in public? My answer is yes. For questions that are clearly "decided", those positions are very likely to be completely ignored in general. But it would be very useful to have people periodically explain why they are incorrect.

There is no DOS here, unless someone is actively interfering with (say) a professional conference. Those people should be bounced regardless of the position they're advocating.

As another commenter pointed out, geographic projections are well-known in the infoviz literature to be problematic, for a number of reasons.

Further, two dimensional area (circles) is a particularly terrible dimension to marry to geography, because it’s an additional (and therefore competing) spatial dimension. Color is better, but still has problems (compare Rhode Island to Texas, or populous New Jersey to unpopulated Wyoming/Alaska). And color forces you to bin, which can be misleading. Chloropleths are still harder to read (compare California to Maine, they don’t share an Axis and are irregular shapes, making it hard to compare their areas) than a bar graph or histogram.

IMO a logarithmic bar graph is the most reasonable choice, if you want to include population density I’d encode it with opacity and one-dimensional space (a shaded-in bar representing infection, a dark bar representing mortality, and a transparent bar representing total population). If geographic projections are that important to you, you can superimpose those bars on countries. It sucks but it gives you geographic scale. If anyone wants to build this graph, please include an adjacent, different-hued bar encoding the number of tests performed thus far.
