I'm not contesting the conclusion.

But traditional media is incentivized to be biased against social media. So "even the NY Times" isn't particularly compelling. (Not to mention NYT is squarely center right, politically. "Left" of the GOP but not left in any meaningful sense.)

With a yogurt maker there’s no need to preheat it since the appliance will take care of heating and maintaining the temperature. But if you make soymilk yourself, the milk has to be cooked for sometime (regardless of whether you’re going to consume it directly or make yogurt with it).

Test Automation for Asset Control
I second Scratch. My daughter and I have been using it since 5.

I taught a quick intro course to it at her school in December. Here are the intro lessons I taught

http://nextlesson.com/homeschooling-ideas-learn-programming/
- Basic: Get enough sleep and exercise (just a 30min walk each day is good enough)

- Basic: To not get tired during the day I have a good breakfast (I have overnight (steel cut) oats with fruit)

- Intermediate: Understand the root of your procrastination. Procrastination = low-self esteem in the moment and/or making a task bigger than it needs to be. For example you approach a task and you doubt your abilities straightaway (e.g. write a paper) and you may even not see the task at hand can be divided into chunks based on what you know you can do (e.g. topic sentences for each planned paragraph in a section OR topic sentence for each section in a paper) and/or practice/learn to get better (e.g. put some sample data into a vis library)

- Advanced: Identify and handle self-esteem issues. An app called 'Woebot' I find really useful in helping recognise cognitive distortions that lead to being too hard on yourself

Finally, if all the above are down, but you still need a kick. Kick yourself. I have moments where I feel a bit doubt-y for no good reason and just do what I need to do. I feel 15min of focused work (i.e. no distractions) will get you into the zone. If not take a break and break your pattern of thinking in the moment—don't get sucked into where procrastination takes you.
Keeping a copy in the cloud could be zipping the dir and sending to s3. Interacting with GitHub and all its community features is something else and having that get nuked for some reason is a different thing.

> Actively keeping a backlog is most often simply a waste of time. That is not only the case for feature tasks but also for bug reports – a bug that has not been addressed for the past six months is unlikely to be addressed in the coming six months.

This makes me uncomfortable. I don't exactly know why, but the thought that ideas, nice-to-haves, and bugs move to a /dev/null of some sort, does not resonate with me.

What if that bug re-appears after 7 months. You'd want to pull up the old one and go: "see, it still hardly ever happens, but here's another one".

You could rename the backlog to "archive", but that hardly makes it different: a backlog is still a list of stuff you had no time to think about.
I think it only depends on product and team and has nothing to do with OSS/commertial/corp. Sublime Text is fantastic and closed-source. Inkscape is horrible and open-source. Syncthing is both. Photoshop is neither. Good pieces are here and there, not in OSS only.
Thanks for the feedback. I can see the argument that polyphasic sleep is anything more than one monophasic block of sleep. In practice though, I'd say most people differentiate between a biphasic schedule and a polyphasic one.

Napping is absolutely sustainable. Trying to reduce total sleep time by sleeping in small bursts throughout the day and night does not appear to be sustainable over long periods.
All the alternatives to BountySource seem to be coupled with GitHub, which is rather non-optimal:

https://gitpay.me/

https://issuehunt.io/

https://gitcoin.co/landing

https://tip4commit.com/

Is there any actively-maintained FOSS bounty platform without the GitHub dependency?
I was referring to personal recordings rather than those made by police bodycams.

Police body cams are somewhat widespread. But many on the left here, including BLM apparently, are against them. For example: https://fox17.com/news/local/black-lives-matter-nashville-re...
Exactly, and among those languages that have a case distinction quite a few have at least one edge case (like German ß vs ss vs ẞ) where the transformation isn't bijective. Or it's position-dependent.

If you want case insensitivity, and you also want internationalization, you'd better hope you have a good library that handles the edge cases, or you'll get a bunch of errors. Case-sensitive is far easier to program.
Hey,

Developer here. I found this thread through through someone making a PR to fix a grammar issue.

So at present I have not stopped maintaining, but not been doing much (evidently) as I had not heard about anyone using it outside of the Linux Foundation.

With that said, if its useful I am happy to get it active again, especially if others want to play with it in their CI or contribute. It has a lot of promise as a project and everyone I spoke to was a a fan of the idea!

In the meantime I will re-record the demo and upload again!
What's wrong with GitHub?
I disagree with this. Passion is the outcome of ability and achievement not the cause. If you wait to be passionate about what you need to do you'll be waiting a long time. You need to do the hard work and then the passion follows, not the other way around.
>In all fairness, Berkshire Hathaway stepped in to bailout Bank of America. It obviously paid out handsomely for Buffett and Co. long term, just find it interesting to use as an example.

Private capital does not "bail out" companies. That's called an investment.
Not allowed by Apple. Part of Rule 3.1.1:

> Apps and their metadata may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than in-app purchase.

Yes, telling customers they can simply get a discount online is prohibited. Yes, they have rejected apps for this before.
> this energy is dissipated as heat

Heat is kinetic energy, its just randomized. It isn't the conversion of kinetic energy to heat that makes the mass change observable, its the subsequent dissipation of the heat that does so.

The difference in mass is observable only when the binding energy you release gets outside of the measurement apparatus. Because the mass-energy equivalence goes both ways, any instrument that is set up to measure the mass won't register a change until that heat also dissipates. This equivalence is why physicists will frequently clarify what they mean by distinguishing "rest mass" from "mass", where "rest mass" is the mass that the body will have once it comes to rest.

Thought experiment: A stretched ideal spring sits inside an isolated enclosure with an instrument set up to measure the mass of the spring, enclosure and everything inside of it. You release the spring and it vibrates back and forth indefinitely. The instrument registers no change in mass at all.

Variation: The spring is not ideal; it has some damping. The enclosure remains ideal. You release the spring and it vibrates back and forth a little bit before damping slows it down and releases some heat. The heat stays inside the perfect enclosure. The instrument still registers no change in mass at all.

Variation: The enclosure isn't ideal, either. You release the spring, it vibrates back and forth a little bit before damping slows it down and releases some heat. The heat escapes the imperfect enclosure. The instrument registers a small change in mass, proportional to the energy released / speed of light squared.

If you want to have a go at getting this to work on gitlab, I am happy to hack at it with you.
Thanks for checking it out and your kind words! If something comes up don't hesitate to create a bug report or feature request.

We are looking into other linux package managers we can support. We actually have an open issue for creating an `.rpm` package, see https://github.com/safing/portmaster-packaging/issues/4. We plan to address a couple things with our installers in fall and hopefully will then also ship an `.rpm` installer.

You can also show extra support for a platfrom by voting for it in the micro-survey when signing up for a Safing Account. (https://account.safing.io/account/sign_up)

So I guess the same logic applies to the phone companies for calls and texts, since they maintain control over it?
I would suspect that CanYa is behind this change. They I believe acquired BountySource two years ago, and probably just enough of the old guard has left for them to push this change through internally.

Not sure what the motive would be though.

There's another thing about your comment. I suggest you reflect on this:

If you believe that someone who solves fizzbuzz in an idiosyncratic way would also do everything at work in an idiosyncratic way, you are essentially supporting the value of asking programmers to solve programming problems in job interviews.

I have a different belief. I have written a blog post on the subject, but the TL;DR is that the purpose of this kind of test is strictly to get rid of impostors whoc an't do any programming whatsoever.

The moment you are convinced that they are not a complete no-hoper, you can stop the test and get on with teh real interview.

As such, I believe it is harmful to take anything other than a single bit of information from it: Can/Can't.

If you actually study how they got it to work, and make extrapolations about them from it, you are incentivizing people to write millions of units tests, ask you whether there is a roadmap for future changes, set up a repo on github and submit their solution as a PR, &c. &c.

If that's what you want to know about a candidate, fizzbuzz is a ridiculously inadequate test.

Github is a tool like a hammer. It is essential to get certain jobs done, but hardly going to win a price for the most exciting tool. I never looked out for trending repos, however, that might be a professional basis as a data engineer.
I admit to not being as familiar with Jails as I'd like, but systemd-nspawn seems to cover much of this use-case on the Linux side. I've used it in a few different scenarios and found it very easy and intuitive to set up. Easier and simpler than VZ for kernel-based VMs for sure.
I tried keeping kefir grains for several months and it never really turned out in a way that I thought was worth the bother.

By that logic you would hold the phone company responsible for calls and texts happening over their network.
I do feel a lot of the fear around PC is based on taking extreme examples and thinking everyone is trying to destroy things. For instance the Rubocop - someone suggested it, some people agreed, some people disagreed, and ultimately they did not rename it.

The React props and mount thing is just ludicrous...unfortunately the people with the most extreme viewpoints often shout the loudest.
I also like Agadmator's channel, especially the "why did he resign?" bits that show how to seal the deal, which is missing from most top play analyses.

He misses a lot of subtleties, but he does a really good job of being consistent in the format of his videos, which I like.
That's probably true, from a legal perspective.

As a practical matter, though, being able to pick and choose only the most inflammatory and out-of-context audio/video pretty much ruins this as a real source of truth.
I think the real difference comes with the knowledge the person is carrying when learning C. For example, people that are familiar with concepts like classes, string objects, arrays, etc. brought from higher level languages are the ones that I see have much more problems when understanding memory management (and thus pointers) in C.

For example, for a higher-level developer, a string might mean some kind of object that knows its length, auto-expands, etc. When in C a string is just an array that it will be overflown at the very first chance. Same with other objects.

I find that a person that doesn't know much about languages are the ones that better understand the basic concepts of C (like pointers).
not everyone gets a choice in tools...

I will read Howard Odum, the concept of "emergy" is interesting. I've read about the concept of "exergy" as usable energy (50kcal in a liter of water have a different exergy than 50kcal in an olympic swimming pool), if i understand what you're saying, emergy is energy that came from outside our system, that can be used to reduce entropy?

The approximation stopped to be true in 2005 for gaz and in 2006 for oil in western europe (EU + norway). The curve of oil consumption correlate heavily with PIB growth in Italy and Greece since 1980 and the change in energy consumption predated the change in production in these countries since 2006 (the energy crisis created a small production crisis 2 year before the subprime crisis in Italy and Greece). I think i saw the shell oil (+ Saudi arabia/russian attempt to break the market) correlate with growth in Europe around 2014 too, but i'm not sure if i can interpret those correctly. Anyway oil and gaz production seems to have reach a plateau in 2019 pre-covid.

I was researching postkeynesian vision of economics for myself and pointless arguments with a friend, i'm pretty sure i found something even more depressing.
This was the one of the wonderful bit of insights from the suprisingly deep and insightful show "Bojack Horseman". Basically, there is is no such thing as "deep down inside i'm a good person". You are your actions.

> this is an error because the compiler treats each .c file separately, so when it’s compiling main.c, it isn’t looking at f.c, so it has no way to know the function f exists.

But it's not an error and the compiler does not need to know the function exists. If there's no declaration, then the function's type is implicit and simply assumed to exist.

If the function doesn't actually exist, then it's your linker that will complain.
I was addressing the original point which was "Notice how only white people ever choose to consider themselves to be "expats"", which in my experience is not true.

> people will most likely first find out where you're from (by asking, or accent, etc.) and that will determine their first and longest lasting opinion.

Perhaps. Where I live there are a lot of Turkish immigrants, for example (mostly they/their parents moved in the 60s/70s.) At the same time I work with people who are Turkish who moved here for work, often in the past several years. I suspect that given the situation, the latter would still be considered expats and the former immigrants.
You know as well as anyone that people are losing jobs over the appearance of impropriety along very unforgiving, if not baseless grounds. Probably the most egregious so far is David Shor. These aren't racists, they're pretty normal liberals being singled out for any divergence from the BLM (organization not the ideal - read: Marxist ideologues) narrative.

Along similar lines, this guy that got booted from a climate change event for a past tweet that mildly linked COVID-19 and China:

> It’s also made us realize that we are far too dependent on—and gracious to—China."

Really, even though the platform you're using voluntarily chooses what you're allowed to post, as with almost all online platforms?

Besides that, you're framing this wrong. If I host a platform as I host you in my house, I have a right and a duty to make sure you aren't committing illegal actions within my domain. This is a fairly universal law, written and unwritten, that who and what you host in your domain is your responsibility. Why should a few privileged platforms get a free pass?
You can absolutely have a strong economy when housing has crashed.

Housing crashed = cheaper housing = more labor mobility = labor can spend more money on their "higher level needs" like eating at restaurants or elective medical care or online shopping.

Would you say "you cannot have a strong economy while the food prices have crashed"? Obviously not, lowered food prices would be seen as a good thing by everyone.
This is absurd. The New York Times opinion section is primarily for right-of-center opinions that support the ruling class. They let in center left and actually left ones from time to time to be able to claim it isn’t. They went a little too far right on this one for their readership.

Have you ever seen an op-ed in the Times with a communist perspective on current affairs?

To those who think I am being hyperbolic, here is an op-ed they published in 2018 to no backlash.

Their more meritocratic, diverse and secular successors rule us neither as wisely nor as well.

I have a gas stove whose oven has a pilot light, so the oven is always slightly warm and suitable for culturing yogurt. Here's my recipe:

Put milk in a pot on stovetop on lowest heat, heat until its steaming (or to a boil) then turn off heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Add some yogurt, stir, put pot inside oven and leave overnight. Its all yogurt by morning!
>"let's hold gun manufacturers responsible for what users do with their guns?" I fail to see a difference between the two, and think both are untenable fantasies.

Sometimes the arms dealers (sellers not manufacture) are liable for the actions of the gun owners.

There is no shortage of cases, I searched Walmart (because Walmart scale), but some examples:

1. Walmart Settles Lawsuit for Selling Gun Used in Murder by Neo-Nazi (https://blogs.findlaw.com/injured/2018/11/walmart-settles-la...)

2. Wal-Mart sued over sale of bullets used in Pennsylvania murders (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-pennsylvania-bullets/wal-...)

Sellers of guns and ammunition assumed they were protected from liability by the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.
I think we are on the same page. I also write Haskell for food. What I'm saying is that if you write Haskell professionally and types slow you down, ie. you always try to come up with the best possible abstraction for everything, then that's a problem. It should do the opposite: give you wings while prototyping, iterating fast and refactoring(!!) as well as great comfort knowing that you have all its amazingly powerful tools in your arsenal if and when you need them.
Apps are not allowed to advertise other ways of subscribing when in-app subscriptions are an option. From section 3.1.3(b) of the guidelines:

"You must not directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, and your general communications about other purchasing methods must not discourage use of in-app purchase." (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/)
It does not "lead" anywhere. It's a wandering in the wild. Some paths lead to cliffs, some will keep you going for a long time. A vast number of paths will be taken, but in any given time you only see the species - better yet, the individuals - who have not fallen off a cliff.

I like the idea of evolution, because "it is what it is". It happens whether you believe it or not. It has no goal, it just happens. And, it's not that evolution "changes" species, it's that whoever survives becomes the definition of what a species is at all, therefore "evolution" is just the observable outcome, the process is natural selection. So, it's pointless to "blame" evolution, to say "it is not good enough". I, you, we don't even know what's "Good enough" and for whom. Even whatever we consider "humanity" is the outcome of our natural selection. Your very wish to live forever, is the outcome of our natural selection.

The wish to genetically engineer our species' future members, will only be judged good or bad by its outcome, not by our planning. What you see now is what works, and the proof it works is we are still here. For example, if we end up destroying the world and our species with nuclear weapons, the path of evolution giving us intellect will have proven to be a bad one for this branch of DNA called "human species".

I can only say I have a very bad gut feeling about conscious genetic altering of humans, and I trust there are many arguments to find if I analyze it. Perhaps it's only some aspect of my DNA's self preservation not wanting to lose over some made-up DNA.
I have been on GitHub for years, and had no idea there was a trending page at all ... but then again I don't tend to "discover" new repos as a hobby.

(There is a separate rant about using github stars as a metric of, well, anything, but thats a thing for a different day)
Not very performant?
I’ve knowingly paid the premium in the past, just because I know can easily cancel. (Like NYTimes)
The issue is that Github actually discourages reviewing by commit because it makes it difficult to do so. Though there are those who are only interested in the overall diff, there are others who want to be able to maintain a clean and informative history via version control. When the review system makes it difficult to ensure that's the case, then then version control history cannot be maintained.
