Rigorous science requires a great deal of validation. Woo-woo 'energy fields' - okay, sure. But I don't think enough has been done on the subject of lunar cycles and plant health, and that's one of the issues I have with lumping all "biodynamic agriculture" under the same pretext.

I can say that what I've seen with my own eyes: crops which were planted during a full moon versus crops (from the same seedlings) going in a week later, is that the moon-crops were bigger, juicier, and more resilient to problems - this over multiple years, in my own personal garden, under the watchful eye of my own gardener, whose opinion I trust inherently ..

Or live with it and list GitHub downtimes as one of your business risks.
You can charge existing iPhones with generic chargers; you only need the lightning cable (which comes with the phone).
I have a side project that I've been working on for more than 2 years already, and it still hasn't reached the point where I'm ready to show it to people.

What I find useful to do when I get stuck with some problem that I don't have the time or the patience to solve, is to leave it alone and just let my subconscious continue digesting the issues. A few days, weeks or months later, the solution would spontaneously reveal itself, and with it new drive and inspiration will fill me, and then I'll dive right back to the work.

I've also had other side projects that I pursued for a while and then abandoned because I had other more pressing or interesting stuff to work on. They're still there on GitHub if I ever feel like revisiting them.

In other words, don't worry about it. Sometimes it fizzles out, sometimes it sustains itself.
I'm not sure how active Linus still is in git development, but at least historically, the issue there is that the Linux kernel dev workflow doesn't use any of those features.

As an iPhone owner, I don’t want USB-C. Not yet, anyway. The reason is that I don’t know how to be confident that a particular cable and power source will charge my phone well and won’t fry it.

I expect Apple knows its customers would like to have confidence about this and that’s why they are holding off.

With Lightning, I have been happy enough to plug into various non-Apple-brand chargers with USB-A sockets. Maybe charging might not be as fast as with an official charger. But it will likely work and I don’t expect the possibility of damage.
They are absolutely aggressors, and the defensive posturing is something they (Russian leaders) have used for centuries to excuse aggression. Their armies never conquer, they "liberate". This is not a tactic unique to them, but one they excel in.
Since everything is scripted and you only write user "apps", it is pretty safe in Android. Apps in Android have very good sandboxing and is virtually impossible to break anything :)

Sometimes if you write some code that makes PHONK unhappy, the app will freeze / crash but that's all :)
In my opinion a public service doesn't need to be profitable at all, as long as it provides benefits in more important areas. I'm all for free education and free public transport and all that.

But in this case, the US (and EU) are subsidizing products that compete with local products, undercutting local products in price, in quality, and often not complying with safety standards, while also avoiding customs and sales taxes because the individual packages are too small to meet the limit.

You're basically supporting unfair competition, and paying to undermine your own quality standards and taxes. There's no benefit at all to the country that's paying for this.
Hm. I switched from iPhone to Android almost 3 years ago and I'm thinking about going back to iPhone in the fall. I don't have any of my old chargers but this might not be a bad idea. If they deduct the cost of the charger that's money I can put toward a longer cable. I would always buy longer charging cables anyway.

Absolutely, but if downtimes go up, then it starts making sense distrusting that provider and thinking about alternatives.

If you remove the need for external funding, you also remove the political baggage that comes along with it. Cost centers in businesses are bad to be in because there is always someone around trying to squeeze you instead of support you.

And unlike police who, when trying to be profitable are driven by perverse incentives to be corrupt, the post office doing more business is hard to see as a bad thing.

Also as many others have mentioned, the Chinese shipping rates were much lower than domestic rates, to the level that cheap products made in the US couldn’t be given away for free cheaper than things could be imported from china. $0 + shipping cost more than similar products sold at a profit and shipped from China.
Also from experience Lightning is a hell of a lot more robust than both.
There’s no reason for USPS to make a loss on this either.

I can absolutely see a situation where products being shipped from China are given cheaper rates than products shipped domestically. In fact, I expect that’s how it should be. Simply because for products from China, USPS would be tying up with the Chinese postal service, and due to the massive volumes they have, they would be able to offer extremely low rates that they couldn’t offer anyone in the US besides Amazon and Walmart maybe.

However, those rates should be profitable rates for USPS.
That's not how I remember it. Every PC had two USB ports. They didn't get used for much because USB 1.1 wasn't great. But they were there since 1997. It was a common question to ask if your computer had "Windows 95b with USB".

From 1998 to 2000 USB only devices were marketed primarily to Mac users because it was seen that they were the only ones who needed it. PC users stuck with parallel or serial because they were cheaper, but where possible manufacturers would add a USB port. Then the higher speed USB 2.0 and with it flash drives and that changed everything. Rather than the iMac I'd say it was the iPod that really made USB desirable.
This is wrong on so many levels.

1. Bad ideas spreading does, in fact, harm me. For instance, bad ideas, in the vein of 'COVID is a hoax created by Bill Gates and Soros' and 'Wearing masks is tyrrany' are currently killing people, and are causing economic damage.

2. If speech is so meaningless that ignoring it makes it's impact on my life go away, why do people care about having free speech? How can it both be so meaningless, and so important at the same time?

3. It takes an incredible amount of privilege to ignore politics. Even if you don't care for it, politics cares deeply about you. When politics stops caring about me, I'll stop looking at 'the crap'.
SAS, matlab, ersi they all have the same business model. Subsidize students so they don’t know a competing tech and also capitalize and nurture corporate lock in.

I could rant about sas for ages. Its like it was purpose built to encourage anti patterns and Its own docs show code style is a foreign concept to the company.
If you want cheaper products with lower shipment costs, why not subsidise them locally? Why pay to make buying abroad cheaper while making your local products more expensive?
Hollywood is an extremely powerful marketing tool, exporting the American patriotism around the world. Movies that involve the military also tend to paint a very positive picture of the US military. And those movies and series is what kids and teenagers around the world grow up with.

Whereas to see poverty, homelessness or infrastructure problems you actually have to travel to the US.
Most people sell or trade-in their old phones, however, and include the OEM charger to maximise their value.

I recently had to buy three expensive aftermarket chargers because we just didn't have enough OEM ones in the house.
Wow, that's a good example of recursive thinking!

I think the other thing you get when buying from Amazon is an easier a return process and hopefully some level of QA.
Well... I have an iPhone7 with an unreliable worn-out Lightning port sitting next to me, so I can kind of see the value in having the cable wear out rather than the socket in the phone...
Blackholes aren't the end - they evaporate.

The photons had a gravitational field before the black hole. Their gravitational field is merely summed. Their total gravity is still conserved.

Nothing has really changed. The fate of the universe is still going to be a balancing act..
Yes - I think "heyday" is the wrong word choice here. What I meant to say is that my impression is that the most powerful hardware with 68k CPUs came out in the early 90s, and outside of microcontrollers there hasn't been much development in 68k since. At least, that is my impression from googling around - the 68060 in Atari clones and late Amiga revisions around 1995 seem to be the end of the line for 68k.
I have to say I find the featured developer Ibrahim racist. He appears to view everything through race and has a special affinity towards other people who share his race. He also projects that black people are hired accidentally rather than hired on merit. I find his perspective deeply disturbing.

It gets more attractive now that GitHub starts changing theirs. Might as well adapt to GitLab now.
The same reason Facebook loads multiple MBs of JavaScript code for something that could have been not more than 1 MB. One can't help but wonder about nefarious purposes: either collecting user data or abusing the computing resources. For companies that tend to hire the best and the brightest, the 'software bloat' theory is not compelling.

Curiously, major Linux distributions have also gotten significantly slower compared to early 2000s versions.

I wonder, for a thought experiment, what if companies stopped development on software when it reaches certain stage of maturity, say Windows 2000, providing only necessary security updates or optional visual changes?
There is another Emacs package "pdftools" which is very underrated. It's amazing package, and just like org-mode pdftools will also be useful for the next several decades
PHONK supports live execution. You can select the code you want to run and press Control or CMD + Shift + X and it will execute, which is pretty handy.

While it is true that Russia is behind the other major players on modernisation - russian military does get new toys quite often these days on a stable basis.

Same goes for upgrading old T-72 tanks for example. What's the point of building armada of Armata if modernised T-72 has basically the same capabilities as T-90 which is more than enough in most scenarios? T-72 Where used in Ukraine and Russia was able to get enough data from operations to do some improvements to the machines and even to upgrade the majority of them even before the 'hot' part of the conflict was over for them.

Also how did you count the size of the economy exactly?
An artist is always fundamentally speaking about themselves— they have no choice in this. Herzog’s self applied to various subjects is just really compelling.
Look, there are all sorts of schools of thought on how these things were built, but none of them were conclusive. I'm not saying it was rock-melting alien technology, but it was clearly some form of advanced technology we are unable to duplicate or conceive was available to the builders.

Some interesting observations which are counter to the narrative:

Eughh. You want to strip away the politics, but all your reporting is political. The spectator uses it's arguments to hold a specific political position, using emotive terms like "The coronavirus doomsayers could not even wait until the fall for the apocalyptic announcements of the dreaded second wave.", "those New York death numbers have declined, but they have not been replaced by deaths in the rest of the country. This should be good news. Instead, it is no news."

As usual, it is an argument about the behaviour of people and the press on the opposite side of the political spectrum, like every damn discussion in America is about.

Some of the points are valid, but it's hard to take the article seriously when it clearly has a political agenda. It's main thesis is that there isn't an uptick in deaths, so this is a good thing. It doesn't talk about the death rate in absolute terms and whether that is acceptable. It doesn't model the economic impact of lock down on future deaths. It also misses the obvious point that the death rate lags around 3 weeks behind the cases, because that is how long the virus takes to kill.

There are valid discussions to be had about the economic and human costs of lock down, the worth of human life. In europe the places that locked down hard and early have the virus under far better control and were able to open up their economies with safety measures in place earlier than those that have had to deal with the cost of locking down late. If you look at the number of cases in the US, it is clearly taking off again, and is at a rate higher than the peak in April [1].

Turning your friends into political advertisements is just a long way of saying “traditional campaigning”.

Which is nothing like using Facebook data to peddle false information through ads.

Facebook shouldn’t be allowing access to that kind of data in both cases, but that doesn’t mean what was done with the data is the same thing.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree.

There may be ways to be greener by manufacturing near consumers... but that doesn't have much to do with amazon vs alibaba. These products are manufactured in the same places.
To me the omnibox is the only way I know how access certain settings. I have no idea where they are located in this maze of categories and subcategories.
There's no proof masks stop the spread. There's immense economic damage for shutting down businesses for a year or two, would likely trigger an economic collapse worse than Great Depression, and I have yet to see any scientific evidence that bars are the hot spots for spreading the disease right now.
You can use wolfram alpha to get their GDP and re-calculate my statement.

And considering Russia is marketing their Jets heavily to everyone, i think the aircraft stats are enough to make it obvious how ancient their army actually is ( majority is ~ 50 years old).
Has GitHub been down more since its acquisition by Microsoft?
"Time is money" is far from the truth. You can get money back, but time can't be replenished. For me at least, time is much more valuable than money.

But then again, most middle-aged people have a family that needs to be feed etc. You simply don't have that many options. Best thing that can happen thus is that your passion becomes profitable.

I am sure this advice worked for you, but I find it ironic that to "finish" a side project, you should not "finish" sub-tasks.
However I completely agree that you should make it as easy as possible for you to get started and see some success.

For me that usually starts with a mockup and bit by bit the mockup becomes something more.
Putin is hated outside of Russia but is loved in Russia, because he cares about Russian interest first.

Russia is the biggest country in the world. Has so many natural resources so has always been coveted by Empires: The French one and the German, now the US and financial elites Empire.

It also counterweights US military power, something the US does not tolerate, they need to to destroy it like Roman Empire had to destroy Carthage in order to secure its hegemony.

The president of Russia that would make US media happy is the kind of president that would make Russian people unhappy. A puppet from foreign powers.

They want to break Russia in 10 or 20 pieces so they become much weaker and they can benefit bidding against each other.

Your arguments are deeply flawed and based in dogmatism, not data. Western interest does not welcome Putin's money, Russia has very little money compared with Europe, the US and even China, it is a poor country.

They care about energy and resources because in Germany people can not survive in Winter without energy. Is that simple. The industry also could not survive.

Oh, and by the way the Russian also have nuclear weapons that could destroy Western countries in seconds. That also gives them influence.

Nothing to do with capitalism. Several European countries spend more money in the public sector than in the private one, so you can call them socialist instead.

With either socialism or capitalism, in Germany or Sweden you get -30 C in Winter. I was raised in a country with -(1-5)C and it is a completely different league.

I am not Russian myself but completely understand their position.
This would be a good step and slowly gets back to sensible policy. Vendors of face-rec are trying to sell snake oil to a problem that awaits definition in my opinion.
Unless and until deportation is eliminiated entirely, that's an inevitable part of being an immigrant. Regardless of the skill level and social status of your job. Even if you're a CEO you can still theoretically be deported for a driving offence in a lot of places, until you get your full permanent residence. And then you have to wonder whether a future government might remove that residence.

The British government has gone backwards on this: a British-born child of non-British parents was stripped of her citizenship, barred from the country, and denied legal appeal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c347vzp58nzt/shamima-begum...

The problem is that it probably costs apple $3 to include one but it will cost you $50 to buy one separately. So people will start using cheap garbage adapters from AliExpress and burn down their house.

I'm guessing the core functionality of Pages is quite isolated from the rest of the site since it's just serving static sites over a CDN.
Blocking TPP was a disaster. TPP would have achieved everything the Trump administration has failed to achieve with China and has spent tens of billions of dollars doing so in direct costs (the indirect costs are even higher and will last for decades).

The major complaint about TPP was the IP protections. But the hypocrisy is that the lack of the IP protections is exactly the same people complain about China.

There was absolutely no reason to block TPP, which in a nutshell, gave Chinese neighbors the opportunity to do business that the US was doing in China currently, and in return agree to implement an IP protection environment that everyone agrees China should have but doesn’t.

Besides providing American (and non American) companies with multiple alternatives to China where their IP would not be stolen, it would have built massive American soft power with Chinese neighbors at absolutely no cost to Americans, since the business going to those countries was business being done in China anyways.
For reference, the C++ ABI is changing with every minor version of gcc, making compiled libraries like glibc or Qt incompatible. Major distro releases upgrade gcc so all packages are incompatible.

I agree on compiling statically to avoid DLL hell. However it is fairly difficult in practice because software rarely document how to statically build them and they very often take dependency to some libraries on the system.
All it takes is one dynamic dependency to break (libstdc++ is not stable for example).
I have the opposite problem. None of my USB-C cables ever seem to break, whereas a whole bunch of lightning cables of ours have broke, either fully or partially (partially being when one side works because of pressure or something).
>Makes sense! Many consumers likely already have a USB-C charger

I am willing to bet money the overwhelming majority consumer dont have USB-C chargers, only USB-A.
Fwiw Twitch is now owned by Amazon, not sure if it was/is profitable though - but it may be that the cost of such massive video platforms is too high to run without a parent company that can subsidise the costs.

In the case of Google/Amazon this makes additional sense because they own the cloud infrastructure, which I assume is the biggest cost of the platforms.
