For us, it's pretty much "don't expect an answer", and DMs while away are sort of uncommon (i.e. people rather send an e-mail then, or wait until you are back).

We have people working all kinds of schedules in various time zones, but you typically have some idea when the people you directly work with right now are around, you pre-schedule times for meetings, and most people leave away messages indicating when they'll be back if they are away at normal work times.

When I get at work a message like:

"VP XXX is very interested in your feedback, it would be great if you spend 15 minutes and fill the form". I delete the email.

"Very interested in your feedback" and mass email do not work well. In addition I do not feel that my feedback given in this way will affect anything.

I do not think that it is your problem. You say that it is not a matter of trust, but I am 100% sure that it is.

I can relate, but considering how much we exploit animals, including agricultural animals, breeding, raising and killing animals for food, using rats and monkeys for testing etc., this would not surface in the priority list for fighting animal welfare for me for a very, very long time. Even in thought.

It doesn't help here any more than existing solutions. How exactly is a distributed collection of blockchain miners meant to validate (e.g.) a sensor that is being used to show that a shipment of chilled meat was always at 3'c or cooler? Answer: they can't. The only part of a blockchain that helps verification/provenance is its append-only nature, and that feature is widely available with much simpler mechanisms.

Wow that is worse than I expected. Why politicize sports, a respite from the rest of our lives?

And the slogans are often dangerous - for example “group economics” is effectively calling for racial and political Balkanization via our economy (boycotting taken much further): https://atlantablackstar.com/2015/09/22/group-economics-key-.... When we all self organize to practice “group economics” based on our tribe, what is the point of a union? It seems like we would be a nation in name only, and at best, we would practice a tyranny of the majority.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows people that can't say "I don't know", to the point they're not far off from the first example.

I mean, there are lots of niche discussion forums on the internet that are better and worse than Twitter for various reasons. For instance, LessWrong.com is popular in my niche and has a higher signal-to-noise ratio than Twitter, but contains a much smaller group of expert contributors and (by design) isn't good for short rapid discussion.
I'be been banging on about MOOP - Massive open online psychology- where we basically monitor our daily interactions such as conversations with kids partners etc, and build a society wide set of best practises and can then be guided in real time by these best practises (if you have ever seen those shows where a Nanny lives full time for a week with a family that the kind of thing)

But it only works if the data is treated medically. we won't ever stop the three letter agencies from abusing it (entirely) but we need to make PII more than GDPR and make it as sacrosanct in law as lawyer client / doctor patient confidentiality.

Once Concorde went live it was making an operating profit of £30-50 million a year.

Clearly it wasn’t going to pay off the investment, but it didn’t make sense to retire it while it was making some profit to recoup on the losses.

During development it was assumed that demand would be much higher, so you can only say that they should have stopped with hindsight. To be honest the value proposition seemed pretty good on paper - half the journey time for 20% more cost compared to a first class ticket, at a time where first class was the market trajectory.

The NBA has had a voice on the matter, they could have stayed quiet like you mentioned, but they chose to side with cruelty.

When their main star, Lebron, publicly called out the critiques on China for their treatment of Hong Kong “misinformed”, it sought to normalize oppression, condoning dictatorship practices and cruelty.

The NBA has a powerful speech platform that should be used responsibly.

Well classically, atoms wouldn’t even be stable. Their electrons would radiate energy when orbiting and therefore spiral into the nucleus. So without quantum physics you don’t have fundamental properties of atoms like energy levels which explains their chemical properties.

That depends on context. Nobody would answer "this question makes no sense" in an exam, instead most people assume they lack knowledge of what's being referenced. Even humans have to expect the possibility of nonsensical questions

The code itself is a manifestation of human creative expression and part of our cultural heritage even without executing it.

Maybe this is what happens when you’ve been coding for years and years but the thing is I was using this particular foot gun and it was working well. I don’t need a framework developer to babysit me and prevent me from misusing a feature. I know when it is a foot gun and I can treat it as such. It sounds like the Vue devs simply removed this feature that was in some ways useful and didn’t replace it with anything better. They removed it because it enabled people to do something they didn’t like, which yes as a maintainer of a popular framework is kind of your responsibility to be help people figure out. But this is like if C removed the ability to dereference pointers because it’s dangerous to do. Of course it’s dangerous, that’s why it’s so powerful. If you can’t use it responsibly, that’s on you, not on the framework developers.

Basically, it’s not like they added a formalized way to create notification buses. They simply removed a useful and widely used feature because they didn’t like how people were using it. This is exactly the kind of shit that killed Angular and honestly makes me reevaluate the trust I’ve placed in Vue. Improvements are always welcome. Wholesale removing useful features without providing an alternative, not so much.
That's a great explanation! However, it misses the part where modules don't need to be in a separate file, but can also live in a "mod { ... }" block within the same file.

You could argue that the works will be in the public domain by the time the vault opens up. Although considering how regular copyright extension acts have been signed into law, that's unlikely.
Tide goes in, tide goes out. You can't explain this.
So it's a fair point that the fidelity of non-prod environments are inherently limited and you still need a bunch of other stuff like canaries, automated canary analysis, automated rollbacks, zone fault-tolerance, feature-flags, chaos engineering, server and client-side instrumentation, but this is generally 'next-level' stuff when most shops aren't even getting the basics right.

For the overwhelming majority of non-prod environments and release processes I've seen they usually have basic problems and would catch a lot more issues with additional engineering investment. I.e Releases aren't automated, self-contained, or idempotent. Unit testing coverage is bad, integration tests are non-existent, data used isn't reflective of reality, there is no performance or load testing done, downstream or upstream systems have poorly defined interfaces and are excessively mocked or just not considered.
This is generally true for anything to do with matter at the microscopic level: not just chemistry, but many things about things like insulators, metals and other solids just don't make sense without quantum mechanics.

Even in the stability of solids (i.e.) why things don't pass through each) relies on the Pauli exclusion principle (and not just Coulomb repulsion as is commonly thought).
The fact that Palantir wasn't stapled front and center as the catalyst for huge amounts of police abuse and corruption during the BLM protests is a testament to Thiel's position in the military industrial complex.

The problem that the above user had was that the logs were already written without tz info, so they had no way to know. Assuming it was set to the machine's tz producing the logs, you could probably figure out the tz from the machine's ip address (assuming that's produced in the logs as well..)
I used to live and work in Portland, Oregon. My commute in the mornings was, at it's worst, 30 mins to my campus. That same commute back home took 2-3 hours.

I've been working remotely off and on for the past 10-15 years and I cannot even tell you how much my quality of life has improved to not have to commute anymore.
For what it's worth, we still don't really know how magnets work; at best we can predict some of their behaviours.
It's been pointed out it's wrong but, as a sometime nuclear spectroscopist, I'm curious: why are people insisting that β-decay, i.e. ¹⁴C, is the issue?
It seems like about half of the postmortems I've seen (public ones for high profile things and private ones where I've worked) have the incident start either when someone pushed a change, or sometime after the change was pushed when the change blew up; this is why change moratoriums are so effective --- when people stop messing with the system, it becomes stable.

Another large portion is power transfer switches failing. Then you have redundant cicso products failing to fail over properly often resulting in 30 seconds-5 minutes of network connectivity and then (if you're reading a postmortem) cascading failures. After that it's one off partial hardware failures where things worked enough to meet healthchecks but not enough to do actual work (my favorites are things like ECC is correcting errors at such a high rate that the system is using 90%+ cpu on servicing machine check exceptions or somehow system booted with 64MB of ram instead of 4 GB and is running from swap, miraculously)

You can obsess about bus factor, or you can hire people who are good at figuring out complex systems with no documentation and if someone leaves, assign someone with good overall system knowledge to their system until you can find a new dedicated person.
I think all stable systems are in some self reinforcing loop, otherwise they wouldn’t be stable. It just seems to me that Switzerland has, maybe by chance, found one with a more long term focus on improvement. I believe that shared government without term limits and direct democracy as a replacement for the opposition is key to this, and that it can and should be replicated elsewhere.
GitHub isn't the first company to do this.

You just need to use one of the many scraping proxy services which will give you a HTTP proxy that cycles through millions of IP addresses. It's impossible to block since they are largely residential IPs controlled by malware.

It definitely works but you are encouraging them which isn't a nice feeling.

It's possible for liberal western values to exist there. They don't, but the fact that they could still supports what I'm saying.

Whereas in somewhere like Somalia, there is no way they could ever have a liberal western democracy. Basically liberal values are made possible by democracy, but no one adopts democracy in order to have liberal values. People adopt democracy because it's a good way to mediate disputes about how the rules surrounding private property should work, but if people don't have much of value in the first place or any clear path to accrue wealth then it wouldn't make any sense to have a democracy to manage that process.

It's like killing a spider in the house. Killing it instead of taking it outside doesn't bring me any benefit the way eating a chicken does, so why kill it? Just like putting the camera rig on an actual beetle for the demo doesn't bring a benefit, so why do it?

Far too often in history books/podcasts/shows you see guesses as to what normal life was like

The problem is that history books/podcasts/shows are not intended to reveal that level of granularity about life. They exist to provide a summary within a specific set of boundaries (printed pages, run time, etc...).

If you want to know the nitty-gritty, you need to start with the source material. There's more source material on daily life available in the world's museums and university archives than you could ever digest in a lifetime. That's why it's summarized in the above-mentioned forms.
All humans are flawed.
It is over a vast period of time as well and was both raw exploitation and a legitimate service essentially. When the lords were able to provide meaningful protection against vikings raiding that was a legitimate service - militias alone didn't cut it compared to a professional warrior elite.

Now when they were the source of instability with feudal squabbles they can't be said to even be helping except maybe in a power vacuum potentially leading to even worse outcomes.
The older I get the more I find all games to have horrible writing. Even games I used to love like ME are painful on replay. Most conversations boil down to “I don’t want to do a thing.” “But I’m Commander Shepard and I’m picking the blue option.” “OK, I will do the thing now!” Recent games with ‘good writing’ (pillars of eternity, divinity, MGS5) have all left me completely cold and wondering if I’m even playing the same game as reviewers are.

Maybe I can recommend games with a strong atmosphere instead. Like Morrowind, Deadly Premonition, Sleeping Dogs, Kentucky Route Zero, Silent Hill 2/3. Nier Automata if you like anime (which I don’t, so I didn’t find it as thrilling as many game reviewers seemed to).
> The researchers removed the electronics from the insects after the experiments and observed no noticeable adverse effects on their behavior.
True. Though the bottom line is publishers saying "we need to get money somehow", and readers mostly not enthused by paying for a subscription. So if it's not ads and the often-paired click bait, it has to be something else, itself paired with something else.

I definitely do not condone that, especially for outlets present to inform the general public, but they're businesses after all.
