The most frustrating part of this is that the developer experience isn't better when you check credentials into source control.

It seems convenient until the credentials change (which they ought to now and then). Then when you check out an old revision of the project, it is broken. You end up having to copy and paste the new creds back in time and it's finicky as hell.
How to Commit Better with Git
I can't read about the Musée des arts et métiers without thinking in Umberto Eco's book (Foucault's Pendulum)
I don't know what the company's policies are now. Could be I misunderstood how they operate, could be that they got more aggressive, could be a store owner didn't understand the details. They help owners with no presence create a presence, and many business owners aren't particularly tech savvy.
This is fascinating thank you.
Denver's is gone too. i've wondered if the solution might just be a 'lost' scanner - but I don't know the technical details. Are keys rotated? Are the 'hard wired' into devices?
> Unfortunately, it kind of makes one feel like being an early adopter of git in a world where no one else uses version control.

This is a fantastic analogy.

I think it's also worth noting that git's UX is notoriously bad for newcomers. These days I'm pretty comfortable with digging myself out of any hole I might mistakenly get into with git. But when I first started using it, all I could do was trivial uses of add/commit/push/pull/merge.

I think the equivalent of "trivial uses of the basics" in Nix would be a "for this use case: just do it this way. You'll understand why later".
> The whole point of a union, or a democratic republic, or any sort of participatory organization is that you can join like-minded people to influence the future of the organization. That way, at risk minorities can have their voices heard and participate in a larger project that can protect their interests.

These groups have no intentional aim to enforce or protect any but their most dominant pressure groups. If the day comes when they have to save the union by discarding their minority participants, they will do it; and if they could do it by saving their minority participants, they will do it; and if they could do it by discarding some and saving others, no doubt they would do that too.

TWC's present welcome is no indicator of any future resolve and it will take no large amount of work for those same H1-B workers to find themselves within a brazen bull that they've built.

Indeed, and would that it be that it is forever so. Constantly crushing the chauvinist collectivist keeps him from dominating the weak. Diffuse power strengthens the weak. Concentrated power oppresses.

Democrats in the Senate changed the rules only after Republicans became the most obstructive body in the history of Congress. They forced the hands of the Democrats. But notice you don't also point out that Democrats follow pay-go rules or put back into place and follow blue slip rules or the 100 other norms that Republicans have destroyed over the last decade.

You want to feel superior to both parties, that you're above it, fine, but at least know you aren't being an honest broker when you do so.

No. Mattress business is one giant hornet's nest where deception, false claims and high margin are norm. Most companies who sale mattress actually don't do squat of real research or improvement or even own design but they keep claiming to do so. Their entire business depends on attracting customers through false ad and making them spend $1000+ mattress which takes a fraction of cost to make it. Their major expenditure is literally these ads. There are few other businesses where organic results would be more appreciated by customers. I'd personally spent months in to digging through this garbage and ultimately settled on my chiropractor's recommandation while making sure he used exacly same mattress on his own bed. There is no sane way left to buy a mattress on Internet.
Yeah, that won't work.

Something has to change, but any solution is still going to need cops. It's not realistic to think otherwise.
I wonder if Shopify + Delivery by Instacart/Postmates could help here (atleast for the listing part). If anyone is listening and personally knows a restaurant owner that had this done to them, they could convince them to go this route.
Just my two cents.
Yes it does. I used it and it was very easy to use.

>where the amount of police killed per year on duty(even disregarding accidents) is more akin to a third world country

Police mortality isn't any more exceptionally high in a "third world country" than anywhere else. Your view that bad things = third world country, is simplistic. Your attitude is typical of a certain mindset. It's also boring because now I can tell a lot about you and could guess 100% correctly about any of you derivative political viewpoints.

Perhaps the reason Democrats complain about Republicans gerrymandering is because the Republicans are better at it than them[0]? If your opponent cheats more than you do, then obviously you have an incentive to make cheating harder.

For a substantive discussion on gamesmanship, we need to ask "Which side is most likely to work to end partisan gerrymandering (perhaps with a change to a more proportional voting system[1])?"

I think the challenge here is that all the competitors are exceptionally well funded venture backed companies that are fighting to be the winner who takes it all. We don't know what this market would look like without the flood of exceptionally venture money to finance the engineers and discounts and all.

Sustainable delivery would probably more bifurcated. I could imagine a range of food types that are delivery-centric (think pizza & Chinese) in areas with cheaper rents & smaller (or non-non-existant) dining rooms, and more delivery-optimized (high margin, easy to transport) food, with their own delivery drivers - and that a lot of other venues wouldn't do delivery, or would partner w/ a service like Lyft or Postmates when necessary, and it'd be expensive.

I think this would be a healthier place to be.
Sorry for not being clear, I meant when all 21 million bitcoins are mined. The transaction fee is pretty small compared to the reward from the new coin, right? Also, since many cryptos have addressed the incentive issue. Maybe let's just focus on bitcoin specifically?
> Somehow he still calls himself a conservative.

As opposed to all the other conservative AG's and administration figures throughout history, right? I mean, clearly the Bush administration didn't preside over any sweeping expansions of executive law enforcement authority, right? And the Regan-era "war on drugs" was clearly an outlier...

This is the most truly scottish of true scotsman arguments. It comes up every time someone reaches a breaking point where they can't apologize for a republican administration. And the best they can come up with is that somehow they aren't "conservative".

Sorry, were you looking for a complete and exhaustive list of every problem I have with the Democrats and the Republicans? I’m happy to provide that, but so far I have a 6-0 lead on providing sources for my complaints. You’ve given nothing to the conversation so far. Would you like to? Floor’s yours.

You want to feel superior to both parties, that you're above it, fine, but at least know you aren't being an honest broker when you do so.

Again with the strawmen. Those were not words I typed, it is not a sentiment I hold. I’m directly calling out the problems with acting like any critique on both Democrats and Republicans when those critiques are deserved amounts to “deflecting”.

Take care friend, I don’t know whatever debate you think we’re having here but it doesn’t exist.
Anecdote: we, 3 white guys and a black dude driving upstate New York. Black guy is a geeky nerd and he’s driving. We’re pulled over by cop who wants to know what we’re doing around New Paltz. Cop intimidates/scares us to admit soemthing - he says he’ll bring a DEA team to search the car - when my friend(also white) admits we have a dime bag of weed (worth $20) in the trunk in his socks. The black guy doesnt do drugs nor drinks. We tell the cop its ours and he makes us throw it out and lets us go. Moral of the story: he stopped us because a black man was driving. If he wasn’t with white friends his treatemnt is likely to have been worse.

I break the law once in a while in a minor way, few miles over speed limit, maybe more when i feel it’s safe. I never got stopped for it. If i was black forget it, I’d be to scared to do anything questionably illegal. It’s this bad, it’s this sad
I started using Firefox Send recently, I have been really impressed with the simplicity and easy of use. I haven’t tried it, but it is open source and possible to self-host if you so chose. But for the time being it remains free, and you can share up to a generous 2.5 GB if you log in with a Firefox account so I see no reason to put in the effort yet.

That being said, Sharedrop seems to be a different use case, only sharing file between folks on the same network. I applaud the effort, I will certainly like to try this out soon!
GitHub uncovers malicious ‘Octopus Scanner’ targeting developers
Looking at one of the labeled diagrams [0], it looks like all the large areas of polysilicon are either serpentine structures that are probably resistors, or they're adjacent to one of the power rails. The ones you're referring to seem to be at the top of the instruction register section and right below the Vdd (-9V) line. So we may simply be looking at larger transistors to handle more current and voltage.

I tend to think that 100 cops against thousands of people will agitate for a reason. The reason is this - somewhere in that group of thousands is a punk that is going to try to hurt them. If they make the first move when there is a tension build up, they are forcing everyone else to be reactionary. At that point the people that are peaceful protesting will generally leave or move away. The ones interested in rioting will stay. Psychologically, they can read the difference and address the rioters more effectively by reacting preemptively.

I get that everyone wants the cops to be kinder and gentler and maybe there will be that day, but there's also the other side of things. I've seen videos some cops in the UK that are so useless and passive that criminals can basically do whatever they want all the damn day long. No offense to the UK, the US also has the stereotypical donut eating cop.

At some point you're going to have to decide what kind of society you want. If you want a society where cops don't make deadly mistakes, it would be a hell of a lot easier if we got a little privacy invasive and profiled people as risks early on and dealt with them then.

If you don't deal with violent thugs preemptively, your cops for better or worse are going to be a little twitchy on the trigger finger. I can guarantee you that 98% of cops out there would gladly trade out the violence if they could without sacrificing the paycheck.
It might be healthier for the restaurants, but it doesn't seem better for consumers. I want a solution that still lets me only have a single portal I have to interact with to order my food.
Most definitely NOT the advertisers who wants to pay the biggest bugs or yielding huge ad click throughs. I would expect Google ranking reviews from more honest sites like consumer reports, BBB, chiropractor reviews etc and supported by articles in good newspapers or magazines. Mattress business is extremely high margine business with their major spend category being ads, not R&D or manufacturing. They almost entirely depends on glossy ads with ongoing war of making outrageously false claims among competitors. Ads are the last thing you want to depend on in this category to make your purchase decision that would impact you for may be half decade.

I'm a senior software engineer, experienced in a variety of languages and technology stacks. I'm looking for interesting and rewarding work, especially using modern functional programming languages such as Scala. I have experience in developing web applications using various UI stacks, but prefer backend development. I have experience as team lead, technical lead, and mentor. I am especially interested in automation, striving to make life easier for both developers and end-users.

Coworkers and friends look to me for programming advice and assistance in solving complex problems. I relish challenging projects. I strive to write exceptionally clean code, along with suites of thorough unit and integration tests. I am pragmatic, and bear performance in mind, however. Multiple times I've profiled and analyzed code and design, and identified opportunities to speed up and/or reduce footprint by a factor of 1000x or more.

I enjoy working on interesting and challenging problems, especially science-related ones, and on systems that impact large numbers of people. Contributing to open source projects would be a huge plus. I have experience working remotely, and with my background and abilities, I will be a great asset to your team.

Interesting, so it's the data they provide that is sparse. If you expand the view to full screen, and stare straight-on at the wall, you can clearly see the 'sparse' pixels form a circle around the camera on the ground and at the sky.

I don't really know how LIDAR works, so I don't know if it's something intrinsic to the process, or a decision made by the engineers.
> Sharedrop: HTML5 clone of Apple's AirDrop – easy P2P file transfer powered by W

Powered by W? Is W a new programming language or JavaScript framework?

It looks like @todsacerdoti is not aware that Hacker News submissions are limited to 80 characters in the title. They probably wanted to submit “HTML5 clone of Apple's AirDrop - easy P2P file transfer powered by WebRTC” which is 73 characters long and represents the current project headline on GitHub, but then they added the project name at the beginning “Sharedrop:” turning the title into a 79 characters long string cutting “WebRTC” out. I think this would have been enough: “Sharedrop - Easy P2P file transfer powered by WebRTC”.
> Yes, there is absolutely a reason.

Your point is valid, but reading "there is no reason" literally misses the intended meaning, which is "this is unacceptable and cannot stand".
It's been a long, long time since your computer drew the same power independent of processing load.
> the stewardship of which involved refactoring only

I've known several such systems, and the reason they stuck with the original architecture is they wrote it in C, and it's very hard to iterate architecture in C programs. The programmers will just keep bashing the C code so it works well enough.

Yes, I know this is a provocative statement.

The reason behind it is that C's ability to encapsulate behavior is just not very good. Even simple things, like "is it an array or a linked list" leak out all over the place.

Even simpler, "is it a value or a reference type" means one has to swap "." and "->" everywhere. C++ half-fixed it by introducing reference types, D fixes it all the way by noting that "." can be unambiguously used for both operations.

> What's the process by which you established this as a known thing?

Primary, by power of observation. But OK, I'll make this as vague and 100% foolproof as I can, to start: there are people who dress in black, and masks, and destroy stuff and commit violence at protests. That's from actual observation. It's not just 1-2, there are groups of them. That's my personal observation from being at 2 protests with such groups.

Now, combine that with all the sources references in this Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_bloc

Along with many, many, many dozens of media reports like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr0i6piW_ak

I'm able to discern a certain pattern.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It seems in line with what I'm reading elsewhere.

lmao I wish, I was running several TB databases on servers with less than 128GB of ram (thankfully we werent processing the entire set) but that amount of ram is eye popping for the dataset, many data warehouse implementations I am familiar with on MSSQL have 10TB datasets with significantly less ram than this :)
What people say is that all electric heat is equally efficient in the sense that all the delivered watts ultimately become heat, but at least in the general area where I live, electric heat of any kind is not efficient in the sense that it is significantly more expensive than burning fuel (natural gas, oil, etc.) at home.

> What's stopping prices from rising accordingly?

Prices for different basic necessities will rise, but not enough to counteract the value of the UBI itself. The exact amount depends on the particular price elasticities of the good in question. Everyday food is likely to be relatively minimally impacted, while low-income housing would be much moreso. In broad strokes, you'd see prices rise (to different extents) on goods low-income people disproportionately purchase, but not enough to consume the majority of the UBI grant. This isn't a particularly difficult thing to predict.

> How will the ~$3T yearly UBI bill be paid for?

This is the much more significant issue. I'm not sure why you discount shuffling the current budget around: because of e.g. Social Security, you already have a funding stream for most seniors' UBI. Beyond that, you'd need an broad array of steep taxes (compared to today) to pay for it. 24% of current US GDP goes toward taxation. Bump it by ~15% which brings us to the level of hellholes like Germany, Belgium, and Denmark and you get >2 trillion dollars.

The exact basket of taxes used matters, but would undoubtedly be the result of a complicated political negotiation. It's fair to reserve judgment until you get the actual set of revenue streams, but obviously whatever I tell you here is meaningless until you get to the sausage making of real-life federal legislation.
