Unequivocally yes.

I switched companies (FANG) to my family software company and the company had been using Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. The company was only casually using it, as one computer was used to compile customer executables (and fix compile-time linker errors) and was often times never checked into VSS. Needless to say, no one on the SWE side knew if any code actually worked or when anyone did anything.

Part of this was lack of management, part of this was inadequate tools. After I joined and learned about the horrors of VSS, I switched our company immediately to git (there was some initial resistance). While there was around 10-20 years of VSS commit history to migrate over, having git blame immediately in VisualStudio and any git client makes a world of difference. While legacy code can’t be cleaned up immediately, the team’s mindset has changed so that there’s no more commented out code (“in case I need it later”), no more new duplicate implementations of the same business logic, and a person to blame for software bugs :)

Another downside of globalization, it has become cheap and easy to move food items across the world, so Vietnamese sugar syrup can be sold here as "honey" and it becomes a race to the bottom - actual honey producers either go out of business or have to do the same thing. Then a free trade advocate will point to how much the consumer price of "honey" has declined to show how well it works.

This should be straight up regulated, the FDA apparently has no source origin or testing requirements for honey, unless someone actually is sickened by a batch it's all caveat emptor and this stuff is all labeled "raw", "pure" or even "organic" and it takes an NMR machine to know differently.

I do find it surprising that the one sample out of four that wasn't obviously adulterated was the brand from Wal-Mart.

I am not sure whether bookmarks or signed sections are "extremely useful". This has some minor advantages, but it's also a large attack surface. At least in this way, you keep most useful features.

> I think it's just the nature of a huge system implemented (mostly) in a dynamically typed, dynamically scoped (!) (though, happily, more and more less and less) language to be partly broken all of the time.

To be clear, Elisp has had lexical-binding for about 8 years now.

> After I run a python shell for a while, bash shells stop asynchronously showing command output; the shell just hangs until the command completes.

That's very strange, indeed. See if you can reproduce with emacs -q.

> There's an awesome mode iedit that lets you edit all instances of a symbol. Sometimes, for certain sequences of characters, instead of correctly performing the edit, it inserts gibberish.

iedit is great. I've never seen it insert gibberish or misbehave in any way.

> There's an awesome mode grep-ed that let's you edit grep(†) results inline; very convenient. Except for when it very rarely, randomly decides to garbles the files.

Haven't heard of grep-ed. Maybe you're thinking of wgrep? See also occur, which can also perform edits. In fact, there are probably at least 5-10 packages which implement such functionality, some of which are built-in.

> The afore-mentioned iedit mode doesn't work w/ the delete-horizontal-space editing command. (All other commands, yes, just not that one, for some reason.)

It would be helpful to report that issue so it could be fixed.

> There is a mode dumb-jump that jumps to symbols. There is an emacs feature to soft-wrap lines. Dump-jump doesn't work when jumping to a symbol that's on a wrapped line.

That's unlikely. If that ever were the case, it's probably fixed by now, because dumb-jump is under active development, very popular, and widely recommended, and that would be a very basic problem. Besides, I can't imagine how being on a wrapped line would affect it, because Emacs commands that read from the buffer aren't affected by visual-line-mode.

> To work around a rare but tricky race condition, emacs shell mode at some point added a built-in 1-second startup delay. I lived w/ annoyingly slow shell starts for months before I finally tracked it down, only to find out it was on-purpose terrible kludge!

Try ansi-term instead of shell.

> The soft-line wrapping mode (visual-line-mode) goes crazy if the line gets really long.

Extremely long lines have been a problem in Emacs for a long time, however Emacs 27 includes so-long-mode, which mitigates it.

Interviews can vary widely within an organization. How do you account for that?
It’s not every day but it’s extremely useful when you need it. I’ve used that history to find context for when someone made an otherwise unexplained change - tickets; names of people, projects or departments; the commits immediately before or after; etc. can all be really handy for learning why something works a specific way. (“Why are we pinned on this ancient version? Oh, that server was decommissioned years ago - we can drop it “)

In your specific example, git-svn works really well for maintaining that history including authorship. I have a few projects which predate Git existing and it’s been quite usable for history. You can’t direct link to a commit ID but Git searches are very fast (we’re not on 20 year old hardware) and you shouldn’t be doing this many times a day.
Of course higher numbers are worse in an apples-to-apples comparison. The question is whether this is that.

For example, maybe tail pipe emissions make climate change worse, but kicking up dust on the road gives people lung disease.

One of the things that will shake up the US elections and put the entire country at risk is the fact that healthcare is so expensive. If you cannot get treated for coronavirus, you can expect the number of cases to spread and skyrocket.
The latter, it’s based on a percentage of your (taxable, I think) income, capped at what I’m paying (percentage-wise I’d be paying more if it wasn’t capped).

FWIW, there’s no notion of “in-network” or “out-network” here.
why is the CDC not telling us where are the suspected cases and how many out there??? Do they even know that number??
Note: Responding to your post addressing my response to the claims I was curious about. For some reason I can’t respond to that comment directly.

I’m not making the claim that all parents can have 1 parent stay home or that there is no risk to a career for doing so, or that everyone has extended family that can help.

I was only trying to counter the claim by the other commenter that daycare at 3 months was the only option.

Overall, there is not going to be a perfect situation where you can mitigate the risk of losing your job, still get paid a high percentage of your salary, and be at home.

But, there are high costs associated with the Swedish model as well as risk. Some are explicit, like the higher tax rates. Others costs and risks might be less so. For example, maybe there are less higher paying career opportunities in Sweden because of the high risk to employers that they have to guarantee employment for new parents for a significantly long period of time. Or consider that people that don’t want to be parents will have to subsidize parents, both directly though taxes and most likely through picking up the slack of the parent on leave.

I asked my original question about any studies or models about net income in the US vs Sweden after childcare costs because I want to know to what extent a US household could replicate the benefits of the Swedish system with their extra income, if any. If you have an extra 100k after 10 years of working life when compared to Sweden, you can “pay yourself” 50k for a year while you don’t work and have at least a few years of daycare expenses saved up.

Now, I genuinely don’t know whether that is close to reality, which is why I want the data.

>Patent trolls are one of the things that would work significantly less well in a loser-pays scenario.

I'm not sure how that would matter. The patent troll sues 100 companies. Has to pay the legal fees for the 100 processes because all of them have been initiated by the patent troll. The patent troll wins 30 cases.

In the American system the patent troll already included the legal fees in his calculations and optimized them for profit but the victims are always stuck with legal fees even if they win. The patent troll basically causes a minimum amount of damage regardless of the outcome. The legal fees are often close to $0 for the patent troll because merely the act of receiving a letter from a lawyer scares startups into paying the settlement fees. Losing a month or two can be devastating for a young company but they can easily recover from losing $20k if it means that they can run their business with no distractions.

In the loser pays scenario the patent troll's legal fees would be completely unpredictable in the 70 cases. Losing 70 times might result in bankruptcy of the patent troll and the majority of victims would not be burdened by legal fees.

This sub thread is making the assumption that the innocent legal entities (= person or company) are on the losing end but if patent trolls had to be 100% sure that their patents are valid then there would be significantly fewer of them. For the few patent trolls that remain you can't argue that they shouldn't have the right to protect their patents. The patent system might be broken but if you can't enforce patents in valid situations then why even bother with the system?
Everything is killing us, but some things faster than others and so we have to prioritize, but hedge. Woodworkers have dust collection systems, air exchangers, and occasionally respirators, so they don’t get something akin to asbestosis from sawdust. What escapes gets processed by soil fungi so not a big problem.

Microplastics have a possibility to do bad things to us over the long run by accumulating in our soils, and playing out like a slow train wreck. I have my fingers crossed that saprophytic fungi are already on the case. But it’d be good if someone gave Paul Stamets a research grant.

The water situation is of more immediate concern, and feels more hopeless to a two-rungs-above-armchair environmentalist like myself.

I'm not sure globalization is very effective for economic growth when we're unable to enforce consistent rule-sets. If that growth is just regulatory arbitrage, we're only exchanging capital for fragile optimizations instead of production efficiency. Things seemed to be working pretty well when countries made good-faith efforts to not undermine the rules for local maximization. New actors have since entered the system who don't seem to mind playing the game exploitatatively even if it destabilizes the long-term equilibrium. Ironically, these players are often described as having "multi-generational thinking" but I won't name names.

To normalize the playing field, investments are needed to fund port-of-entry enforcement, quality control, and authenticity, among other things. Tariffs are the most sensible tax to fund these kinds of expenditures, which brings us back to square one. In fact, I think tariffs are probably a good quantitative measure of how egregiously another country violates it's trading partner's standards at the margins.

Genralist vs. specialist is a false dichotomy imo, because you can specialize in general knowledge that will make you knowledgeable about other areas simply because it has a broader reach. Knowledge works like a cascade, if you're good at a higher level thing it will apply to more lower level categories.
Also note not a hard-hat in sight. This is on the eve of modern attitudes towards workplace safety, which got a big boost from reporting on worker deaths associated with the Hoover Dam project.
When people ask me why I moved back to Canada from the USA, knowing I'd be paid less and have higher taxes, I often have a hard time articulating what the difference is between the two countries. Why I prefer to live here.

This thread sums it up nicely.

No matter how down-on-my-luck I get back in Canada, I will always have a safety net. I can always walk into a hospital and be treated. I can take time off when I'm sick. I get time off if I have a kid. It's the law here and not just best effort by employers. It's for everyone and not just the rich.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

Our 20-25 year old influences our education/career based on our interests at that age. But shouldn't we make those decisions based on what our 40 year old will be like?

Of course a career change at 40 is totally doable but wouldn't it be better if we had been working 15-20 years towards that goal instead of starting from scratch at 40?

Impossible, I know, but something interesting to think about.
Snow plowing absolutely destroys roads. The blade catches on the smallest imperfections and creates potholes. Then water gets in and the freeze/thaw expansion cycle quickly makes things worse. Here in Canada roads really don't last very long before they have to be peeled up and put down again.

the substation is part of a distributed system which powers the factories that make the truck you likely drive over your (unimproved) roads, not to mention the tractor you say you would use to make another one. it also powers the hospital where you'll end up after an accident or serious illness. it probably powers the building where government functions to act as a counter-weight to the behavior of selfish or ignorant individuals and corporations, because good luck with using your tractor to deal with a large company that decides to pollute your nearest river. they couldn't do that if there was no government (the cry of the pure libertarian)? just look back in history and around the world - this is delusional: there are always power imbalances and there are always people who left unchecked will be bad actors within communities of various sizes.

Maybe I was expecting a technical overview or reverse engineering of how their backdoors work, but really the article was non-technical. If I understand correctly, it can be summarized as: The WSJ made a claim that Huawei was using a backdoor into a backdoor, so that Chinese intelligence would have access to their devices globally. However, the claims were unsubstantiated and attributed to anonymous U.S. officials. Then, Huawei made a video clarifying what backdoors are, stating that a "backdoor" which is used by law enforcement is really a "frontdoor".

The "deep state" and "tech giant bias" ideological movements of the Right sit firmly within the broader definition of critical theory. Whenever the Right appeals to freedom from corruption or freedom of speech for those specific issues, they are appealing to the narrow definition of critical theory (emancipation/liberation from being subject to another's dominant position of certain liberties).

Washing dishes is a zen-like experience. As the utensils, glassware, cups, plates and whatever pile up, you start to feel the itch to clean up the mess. As you finally get to it, you contemplate on what a pig you've been. And when the work is FINALLY done you can admire the cleanness. Then you say to yourself that you will only use ONE plate and ONE cup and wash them straight after, only to find yourself again in the same situation a couple of days later.
Yeah the article didn't really present anything very useful. What I took away from it was that the U.S. government claims of potential malicious backdoors in Huawei's devices are unproven, but plausible. I think we all were already thinking this though.
I don't think it does. ESNI is the intended fix for this problem.
I vouched for this post, as it's something that people need to be more aware of. While many people here can remote into their tech job, there are many people who simply do not have such privilege, and those are often the people who make your food and drinks. I too have mostly worked food service jobs, out of a job and looking for one now, and as soon as coronavirus hit the news, I knew that I would be eating out a lot less now because what the Twitter posts describe are completely accurate from my experience. I lived it.
I used to own a Space Duel cocktail cabinet, a vector game that deserved to be much better known. Think of a color version of Asteroids with 3D spinning objects and other cool enemies. It has a two player co-op mode where each player's ship was chained together, so one person hitting thrust would propel the other as well. The game's difficulty level was spot on, and it made for some of the most intense gaming experiences I've ever had. Good times.

The effective subsidies to rural living matter on a daily basis - rural life would essentially end without them.

If indeed it is true that the USA effectively subsidizes the defense needs of Scandanavia, there's no evidence that I am aware of that removing that subsidy would lead to an end to the Scandanavian countries. It would marginally increase the possibility that Russia might decide to annex part of Finland, perhaps, but this would still be extremely unlikely.
