Having used subversion and git in big teams, I can tell you the single fact branches are free in git changes the way teams interact and is worth every learning curve or design flaw in git.

From spending half a day per branch copy, to releasing only a few times per year because branches are expensive, to never changing more than the minimum because can't branch-test a feature fast, to days of offline CI because bad merge on only dev branch, to keeping 3 copies of the entire repo to do backports because not easy to shift branch... SVN never again.
cities in California oughta build more homeless shelters.

Oh, please, god, no.

California desperately needs more actual housing. That's a huge issue in California.

More homeless shelters just drags out the problem. It doesn't solve it.
You would certainly notice if you missed some essential vitamins. The modern diet is just good enough to get you enough of all of them without too much effort.
Choosing Blockchain as a Career: What Are the Options?
I am not a big fan of "solve by regulating" but I feel this is a case where I would like it to work.

Just say that every content producer must license their work for a "reasonable" price which is connected to the actual viewership (we can do this with streaming).

Companies may litigate this into oblivion but more likely the majority of content would become available cross- distribution.

Don't cinemas work somewhat like this? You have chains owned by WB or whatever by they also show content from other content producers.
If I may be frank it sounds like a deeper problem than browsing certain sites. May want to work on impulse control and contemplate why you are driven to these sites in the first place.

FWIW, my old Dell XPS had a much better monitor and trackpad than my current Thinkpad, and was very easy to open to change the battery. Unfortunately, it also was necessary to change the battery because it swell up :( It's just my anecdata, and the comparison is really bogus since I'm not even using a regular T4xx (just an E495/Ryzen budget Thinkpad I picked up in retail because my XPS was dying), but I personally think still the Dell has a better keyboard as well. The Thinkpad is a solid notebook that is much bulkier and thus has better airflow, and runs Linux OOTB a little bit better than the Dell (and Dell currently doesn't have Ryzen notebooks I believe), but given the choice, overall I'd clearly prefer Dell.
Yes! I'm actually considering adding a "Featured Listings" section where you can list your domains - feel free to sign up on the newsletter and I'll let you know when it's ready! :D
The story of Thalidomide and its effects on birth defects is a good story about the chirality of molecules and their significance. The same molecule on 2d paper suddenly becomes a teratogen when the racemic mixture is given (50/50 mix of the “right hand” and “left hand” versions.) When a simple molecule like this drug with only a single chiral center at the base of so many issues, imagine a protein with hundreds or thousands of chital centers and the potential effects (or lack of effect at all) with simple changes.

The IRS isn't telling Facebook how much to pay me.

Also, the IRS rarely cares what state you're in. States may, though.

Also, it's all arbitrary anyway because plenty of people do cross-state travel for work on a regular basis and don't have to declare it.
You ARM cheapo rebel!
Honestly, if SF was a bit warmer, and didn't have all the homelessness, it wouldn't be such a bad city (assuming you have the luxury to afford it). But I'm a bit fed up with the state of the city personally, I don't think I can stay here for long... it is eating your soul to see so much poverty.

I'm really baffled, I have no solutions to offer, I'm just baffled that everyone can see that SF is in a very very bad state and yet nothing is improving.
Slack is the Sharepoint of communication tools, we just have to use it because our companies force us.
God, that sounds awful! I'm so sorry that happened to you :(

This also goes to show how big the domain aftermarket is - perhaps next time you could list your domains on sites like Dan.com, where they'll renew it for you automatically and help you find buyers who are willing to pay for your domain?
The fact that the software could be used for infringement is irrelevant because the software itself is not infringing (someone else brought up web browsers as another example of this).

The MPAA are legally savvy enough to know this was an abuse of process. If any DMCA reforms are needed, top of my list would be removing takedown privileges from copyright holders that abuse it.

Unclear if you mean 5 kiloByte or 5 kilobit.

The median homeless person living on the streets of SF wouldn’t be doing fine if rent was cheaper. These are severely mentally ill people suffering from severe drug addiction comorbidities in a system that fundamentally respects their right to live this way.
Yeah, I just checked them out and they seem pretty legit. Gonna start using them to scout for good domain names and perhaps even find a way to integrate their list into One Word Domains :D
You can also do this with uBlock Origin.
I agree, the original take down request was inappropriate (although i've heard of much worse abuses). I think everything after that point though was pretty standard, and in particular github's behaviour in all this wss very standard.
Somewhat, but it's more about explanations and implementations of common algorithms that appear in interviews etc. Unfortunately, everything outside the algorithms is very low-effort SEO content. I'd be happy excluding it from my search results and only go there when I need to look up a specific algorithm.
As much as I like Slack, I think they go hand in hand with Jira and Confluence—-and I think all of them are more relevant and necessary than ever.

Good idea! I am always happy to see more tools come up around the email inbox. Few suggestions -

1. Your privacy page is empty.

2. Instead of asking me to enter a feed URL during signup, you could just start with the email, and then on the next screen, you could show me your list of feed suggestions. I think that would simplify the signup flow.

All the best!

Shameless plug: I run a similar tool called EmailThis [0] that brings bookmarking (similar to Pocket and Instapaper) to your email inbox.

I'm sad that this is the first thing we're thinking about, removing them. What does it mean, displacing them so that it's somebody else's problem? Putting them in jail? Killing them?

The people who scream at me in a schizophrenic drug addled haze aren’t going to go away because cheap 1br housing pops up in an affordable neighborhood. They do need help though. They need homeless institutions.
Great question! I'm not so sure myself - anybody knows anything about this?
We use GSuite for all of our office tools and the Google Slack competitor is our official policy for if Slack goes down. We all already have accounts setup without paying for anything else so it’s a simple transition during an incident.
Killing them?

Given how much lower the average lifespan is for homeless individuals, we are more or less killing them.
I know people who have moved here a decade ago and they are paying 1600$ for a small one bedroom apartment in SOMA. For 700$ it must have been the tiniest of studios.
I watch a lot of legal torrent videos using PopcornTime.
I think it's still quite far from having no legitimate uses:

The app is for watching movies. there are lots of movies that are legal to distribute this way for anybody. And people could have rights to copy specific films from other routes. Copyright terms (if they exist) vary by jurisdiction, some countries have eg 25 years from date of production for movies.
The funny thing is that the MPAA are so clueless, they don’t even know popcorntime are their own worst enemies. They kept splitting out, rewriting from scratch, failing to establish a trusted way of distributing the app, then the latest releases have been so bad that people are abandoning it in droves - you can see the fallout on reddit. The ban was meant to DOS them for a few weeks, now that cinemas are shut and all eyes are on digital, but ended up being a big advertising campaign for PT. Good on the lawyers for getting paid to fail!

PT itself is a relatively banal app anyway, even if it gets nuked someone else will rewrite it. Napster begat Gnutella begat BitTorrent begat Popcorn, it will not end until the movie business gives consumers what they want: a cheap global service to watch anything anytime.
Plus if you throw all the poor people in 1 building you're not solving anything.
Bad luck, I moved from London to SF a bit more than a year ago and:

* no, London is much much cleaner than SF. I'd rather take a stroll in London.

* there's very little amount of homeless compared to SF. Again, I'd rather take a stroll in London.

I was paying 1300GBP (so around 1500USD) for a one bedroom apartment in Battersea (so zone2). I am now paying 3350USD for a small one bedroom in Castro.
The comments here are a treat to read. I have used hardware raid for years. But I stick to only raid 1/0 or combinations of those two.

With hardware from 3ware/lsi/broadcom or whatever their name is this week I have never had an issue or a rebuild failure. With software mdadm managed arrays in Linux I stick to the same raid types and have never had any issues.

One of my home arrays alone is over 50tb. Systems at work with an unnamed faang company are much larger. The cattle commonly have raid 10 arrays as part of their recipe.

I was unaware people were scared of raid.

As I tell everyone though raid=\=backup, common mode failure can strike anything.
> The rate of new commercially successful desktop applications has dropped

that's because a lot of what used to be possible only on desktop has been moved into web-based SaaS or mobile.

If you count mobile phones as "desktops" - there's millions more apps on mobile than there are on real desktops.
Raw nutmeg is actually a very powerful drug, and even dried ground nutmeg has an interesting long-lasting high if you take enough of it.

I've done it a long time ago... it's really unpleasant to actually consume that much nutmeg, even in gel capsules, but the feeling is pleasant, warm, and hazy. I took it in the middle of the day and started to feel the effects late at night, and then the next morning I woke up sky high. It's a fairly lucid drug with an strong body high, but I don't recommend it!
I did not comment on every thread. But I do answer some relevant questions on forums where my answer is likely to be appreciated and my signature is linked. Sometimes write short semi-article in the post (same thing with the signature). Also do product announcement once per forum. Sometimes they have rules against it but they also often let it slide. At some point was noticed by some reviewers and that had some positive outcome as well.

But as already said nothing really stellar in that particular product I mentioned

If americans could get richer owning a piece of their infrastructure, they would protect Huawei. The fact it's stubbornly private exacerbates the suspicions, however realistic it is that Xi Jinping uses 5G antennas to listen to your grandma birthday calls.
That's crazy! Tbh it's kind of a jerk move on the domain registrar's side - by labeling a certain TLD as "Premium" they get to charge extra on the renewal/registration fees. Pretty unethical I'd say :(
> I particularly notice when there's a thing where there's an obvious flawed approach to the problem, but the flaws probably don't matter.

Yeah absolutely. I often get hung up in architecture astronaut mode about whether this is the right solution, and entering that "who cares? make it work or nothing matters!" mindset is very liberating.

I've been taking some herbal anxiety pills because a friend suggested them.I didn't expect much but it does seem to let me focus on the process and not the what-ifs when I need to.
I know for a fact that isn't true. But I'm curious what gives you that impression?
> We are coming to a point where software is developing so fast and the abstractions getting better that soon we will have more software written by a smaller number of people.

I think software is just a big pile of garbage. The thing is: our civilization depends on this pile of garbage. It's remarkable that the whole thing somehow chugs along.

Over time, the pile will just keep getting bigger and bigger and more people will be needed to keep it from collapsing.
For regions that rely on snow accumulation on mountains in winter and melting into rivers during other seasons, they could be screwed. And plenty of regions heavily depend on that process.
I spent nearly six years homeless and I have had a college class from SFSU on Homelessness and Public Policy.

There are mentally ill people in housing. They don't generally follow you down the street and scream at you when they have housing.

Being homeless is enormously stressful. It is itself crazy-making.

Lack of sufficient housing supply is a root cause of high housing prices and of homelessness. California has been under building for decades.

The microservices make it easy to create a big ball of software that covers as much featurespace or ground as possible. That's not the end of software development. You need a lot of people to gut these microservices and reconfigure them to be part of your monolith and to wire in new workflows.

As soon as precision and performance become critical, you're back to dredging through the code because microservice were built on assumptions that your ball of software executes poorly.

This move for collective action attempts makes the independent wfh type irrelevant and then suck them back into the fold via 'collective bargaining' and other union tricks.

This is what GP meant by a "terminology problem", but syscalls are much simpler than a real context switch. They certainly won't flush the L1d cache as a result of this patch.
It's typically the territory of the ignorant and uneducated to peddle in conspiracy theories around Bill Gates' philanthropic efforts, but let's take a different angle here for a moment and discuss his motivations. He has clearly demonstrated severe sociopathic tendencies in the past that had the potential for catastrophic effect on the public good. For instance, he secretly backed SCO in an attempt to destroy Linux through BS copyright infringement claims. This is just one of countless ugly acts that he executed without pause. He has not gone through some dramatic epiphany that changed his world view, so why should we trust him now?
Thats the 90s outsourcing model in a nutshell. It fails over time because it relies on a constant stream of good developers who don't realise their market value.

As soon as that guy realises he's worth $300k, he'll go get it on the open market and you'll need to find a new sucker.

The industry already used up the whole of India in the early 00's doing this, and by now they've scraped the bucket all the way back to Iowa.

The goal of the operation from our standpoint should be to get the rest of those remaining guys up to $300k. Not to resign ourselves to accepting $30k.
Can you point me to a consistent source of solid programmers who will accept $30k long term (keep in mind that hiring someone at $30k and having them quit after 6 months is probably worse than not hiring anyone at all) and produce as much as a $300k programmers? Though if you can do that you can also make a killing by setting up a software agency.
Common Docker Commands you must know
Check out Gollum (https://github.com/gollum/gollum).
5 kilobit per second should be fine for IRC. A typical PRIVMSG command is what, 200 bytes or so, which gives space for three PRIVMSGs in a second. IRC doesn't compress, but it's also not particularly wasteful with bandwidth.
If that were actually the case, there would be very very few programmers making $300k. Market forces (demand for talented software engineers) led to those high salaries. That's a tangible observation supporting the logic behind "you get what you pay for".
Never seen it before on film. The Manchurian Candidate isn't it.

I've been thinking about moving to Taipei since I visited you. I wish I could go back to China but 1. pollution and 2. censorship are real deal breakers. On the other hand I'm wondering about how it compares to some cities in Thailand (ChiangMai) or even Korea.

I apologize for the faulty user experience - I gotta admit, the file structure for my app is rather rudimentary, as this was my first time building a Flask app and I didn't really put much thought into file structuring.

Article focuses on just fatalities. But there is evidence that infection can cause other problems for survivors. For example, rupturing of pulmonary alveoli. How quickly can those regenerate?

Wikipedia says we have 300 million alveoli. If you lose 10% to the virus, is that OK? By itself that's probably not a big deal, but let's say you're a smoker who has lived his whole life in a polluted city.

So you come out of ICU with only 50% of optimal lung capacity. Is that still OK? What if you only have 20% left, are you barely hanging on? Do you have to walk around breathing supplemental oxygen?
It's a great way to help them share their diseases and fun stuff like that. I went to soup kitchens about six weeks and then began doing everything I could to stay away from that crap.
The're basic but that's not the real problem. Plenty of articles are basic but also offer unique perspective or insight. The real problem is that these articles are often uninspired and seemingly only written for the purpose of writing an article. Full of keywords to maximize google search potential. And then your technical search gets bogged down by these SEO friendly articles and you can't find what you need.

Its a lot worse for python than, say, kotlin. That was one of the biggest things I noticed when changing languages recently.
> Many professional developers will find them selves migrating to solving harder more advanced problems

it may be wishful thinking that this is gonna just happen without major investment from some sort of entity for those developers. And i would also argue that advanced problems are more fewer and far between than "standard" problems being solved today by the majority of developers.

History has shown that displaced workers don't get to re-educate for free. Either the workers themselves will have to pay for such re-education (or advance their existing education to higher level, and thus able to do a more difficult job that hasn't been "automated" or trivialized via a tool), or the gov't pays to mass-educate.

If you currently work for a big-tech, and enjoy a high salary, it would be very prudent to try to invest your salary as much as possible to build a future stream of income for protection, for the eventual scenario where you are made redundant due to advances.
Definitely Bali! A lot of beautiful beach, very chill, a lot of good co working space.
Zoom seems to do alright.
As a lifelong resident of the Seattle area, eastern Washington would be very high on my list. Arguably better weather (less rain, not too cold in the winter, and not extremely hot most of the summer), much cheaper cost of living, lots of natural beauty and outdoor recreation. Depending on where you locate, you're not that far from Seattle for when you want to get the big city cultural experience.

from what I understand, the backlog is huge. I'd hate to think the mess the lockdown is going to create as everyones timelines get mucked up.
My dad loves to tell this story about him going to engineering school in France in the 70's. He was suggested to stay away from CS or software by his guidance counselors - the reasoning? "We'll soon enough have programs able to write themselves - studying to be a software engineer is a dead end".

I'm not sure that some common engineering problems now being solved doesn't just mean that we can now redistribute that workforce on other unsolved problems, or to build new products on-top of those solutions.
Not true, at most it increases the number of samples required. But the are other ways to simulate timers with adequate resolution.
Absolutely, but that's them acting as an employer rather than as a regulation of other employer's choices.
