You didn't just change the source control tool you also fundamentally changed the development process. You used to do continuous integration. Now you are doing feature branching instead.

Feature branching is nice in some cases. For example in open-source project this allows a maintainer to review code (of a potentially unknown developer) before it is accepted. It also prevents a contributor to vanish leaving half-finished features.

I believe feature branching is inferior to continuous integration for most private software development teams. Feature branching along with systematic code review add a lot of friction to the integration of a developer's code into the mainline. The consequence is that developers push less commits that become bigger and integrating each developer's code together become a painful process. This starts a negative feedback loop.

If I were you I would look for the evidences that continuous integration make a team perform better and push to keep git but change the workflow back.

The time is always there, but not letting getting angry about a change eat it up and providing an excuse ("I'll just procrastinate, that'll show them!") is key. That means taking the biggest hurdle to learning.

Also large companies won't be able to hire from smaller programmer pools because they will have to learn yet another spoken language.
Forks mostly mitigate philosophical issues, like gender neutrality, continental neutrality and such. That's a job, but not (arguably) the job. S

The job was to be an easily learnable lingua franca, a common second language. Esperanto (also the forks) is a better tool for that job than english. All else equal, it's much quicker to learn.

Returning to the metric analogy, I think it's interesting to see the whys.

Ultimately, the quality of a language system is not the only or main thing leading to its adoption. There's a massive cultural element. The metric system was ideologically compatible with the French revolution and enlightenment/scientific/modern cultural ideals generally.

It was also useful individually, often by influential individuals (eg scientists). Even if everyone uses another system, it's still worth learning metric so you can do math, engineering or land surveyance more easily. You can always convert units for communication purposes.. I assume it's still like this in the states. If you need to calculate volume, you use metric and then convert to square feet or gallons.

This gave metric systems a bootstrap that esperanto didn't have. This has a parallel to network-effect products. You can't displace Twitter or facebook just by making a better alternative. That only matters once you have millions of users. You must have a bootstrap... a reason for individuals or small groups to use it regardless of overall usage.
And, if that happens, this will still make it easier (and quicker) to get the machine vack up and running.

Yeah, this doesn't work, but the equivalent to what you are writing in Julia does:

Can someone help me understand the relationship between phone hardware and carriers in the US?

I recently bought a new, unlocked Samsung phone on Amazon. When I put a Verizon SIM card into it, a Verizon-specific firmware module got added. I don't understand why that would be necessary.

Asking because I'm attracted to the idea of a phone I truly control, but not sure what that means for carrier compatibility.
>Most people in the world just buy their petrol per liter directly ...

It depends.

Here (Italy) most petrol stations are self-service/with automated machine for payments.

If I buy in cash I buy gasoline "per money", i.e. 20 Euro or 50 Euro, you don't have any alternatives if not multiples of the bills.

If I buy paying with a card then I still try (roughly) to meet the amount.

I am not really aware that today 50 Euro will give me (say) 27.476 liters while last week (still say) it gave me 27.187 liters.
Who do I trust and why? Digital Ocean, Google Chrome and Motion Sensors
I just logged into Digital Ocean to update some DNS records. I notice a new icon in the address bar that looks like it represents radar or radio waves with a red square and a white x in it. When I click it I get "This site has been blocked from accessing your motion sensors".

Why would Digital Ocean be trying to access my motion sensors? According to this article it's to get more information about users.

The UK has the same rule for "per 100g" etc (depending on the object, the unit changes -- herbs are shown per 10g, potatoes per 1kg).

There are some exceptions, supposed to help market traders sell 6 apples etc. The supermarkets are using those, which I think was unexpected when these exceptions were allowed.

> I think Ubuntu adoption of ZFS is a testament that it is here to stay.

Like Mir, Unity, Upstart and all the other technologies Ubuntu adopted, but removed after a while again? I always have the feeling that the Canonical engineers try to advance the Linux ecosystem by introducing new technologies, but somehow always pick the wrong ones, which end up not being adopted anywhere else. Granted that's different with ZFS, as ZFS already has a large user base, but there is nothing guaranteeing that Ubuntu won't remove ZFS in a few years again.

I honestly miss the classic Macs of the 80s and 90s. Sure they had their bad points. The operating system let badly-behaved applications stomp all over the address space and crash the machine, and preference files (as well as the desktop database) got corrupted frequently.

But they were so easy to use! The operating system was so simple you as one person could understand the whole thing. There weren’t countless background processes running all the time. You knew exactly which applications were running (only one, in the case of system 6.0 and earlier).

And Apple was a different company back then. They were artists and underdogs. Now they’ve become this ruthless capitalist machine of staggering scale. I guess nothing good lasts forever.

That is good, but why code all that up in YAML? This looks to me like a programming language with great efforts made to obfuscate the fact.

We've had 70 years to figure out what good programming language layout looks like. I think there is almost a consensus that it doesn't look like the linked code-wearing-a-fake-moustache .

Are people supposed to code these state machines using some sort of real language then translate it to YAML?

>This could be said of all required vaccines, though, and the same counter-arguments apply: One individual's freedom to not vaccine hurts other people's right to health (e.g. via reduced herd immunity which hurts people who cannot get vaccinated) and should thus take a backseat.

The whole point of rights is that they're non-conditional. That's why most western countries currently don't do any forced vaccinations (although some may deny certain government services to people who are unvaccinated). Without a strong commitment to human rights, there's nothing to stop the next racist dictator who comes along from sterilising ethnicities or political groups he doesn't like (as is allegedly happening in Xinjiang).

Thalidomide changed our relationship with new medicines for ever.

As highlight by many scientists, a badly working vaccine is much worse than no vaccine at all. There are two serious risks, the vaccine can have serious side affects for certain genetic population groups, or the vaccine doesn't provide the protection it claims it does. Both will be taken advantage of by anti vaxers.
I'm not saying he claimed it law. I'm saying that his claim of it being fiduciary duty is taken as law by many, when it's not.
That‘s the question I asked myself too. How did they measure that?

Average working hours:
So Switzerland: 41 hours [1]
Germany: only 15% over 45 hours [2]
Austria: around 41 hours too [3]

And it seems European average is also around 40 hours [3] .

Edit: Ok, that‘s what i found:

> Workday Span- The average daily number of hours in between the first and last email sent or meeting attended by an individual in a 24-hour day block. The 24-hour day block is determined by 12am-11:59pm in the user’s local time zone. This variable is calculated by taking the number of hours in between the first and last meeting or email for each user’s 24-hour block and then calculating the average across users for a given MSA.

So if I write an email at 6am and another at 6pm, I would have worked 12 hours in this statistics, even though I was the rest of the day in the mountains (or otherwise out-of-office). I ahree that it‘s a nice way to measure working hours like that, but I myself sometimes write an email before breakfast and then have a lengthy breakfast.

You're doing nothing wrong, if you have a well-working svn-based workflow there's absolutely no reason to switch to git, it definitely won't make things simpler or more efficient in your case.

Git has been built for a very specific decentralized development workflow, for a close-knit team with a central versioning server git is simply not the right versioning tool, since you don't get any benefits from what makes git different from svn.
I honestly don't even feel the need to have netflix in the first place. Most shows are just kinda garbage.
And you have 10 new, probably misleading names to think about. Naming is one of the hard problems, and a preference for small functions means you run into this problem more frequently.
I'm signing up for the Pfizer phase 3 trial today. I have every confidence in the world that the researchers involved know what they are doing and would never push something like this if it weren't safe. If I don't get the placebo (fingers crossed), I will be one of the first people in the world with an immunity against SARS-CoV-2. That's worth a slight risk in my opinion. I honestly don't think they can do this fast enough. The difference of having this vaccine by the end of the year versus waiting until next spring could mean hundreds of thousands of lives.
>The trolley is running over thousands of people every day, and by flipping a switch you could reroute it to another rail where only a few people would be at risk.

The mathematical issue is that a vaccine is given to everybody, so even if it has a very small rate of harm, it can be greater than the illness it's meant to prevent, if the incidence of the illness is small enough.

I'm not against vaccines in general, but they have to be incredibly safe to be worthwhile, assuming all lives are equal. Much more so than regular medication that is only given to sick people. Inherently, there has to be a higher bar.
That's exactly how Excel does it.

Personally, I don't like it. I prefer English function names.

However, the most annoying thing about Excel localisation is that the behaviour of CSV import/export changes depending on the OS locale setting. It doesn't even let you override it. You actually have to change the OS settings to get the English behaviour.
This was probably the worst so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dengvaxia_controversy

Note that the worst long-term outcome of this was probably decline in trust of vaccines. Government regulators are in a position of significant trust on this stuff, and the consequences if that was damaged would be disastrous.

By making it so that furnishing a building is much cheaper than other aspects, so cost structure started to "disincentive" making smaller offices vs. plopping big halls.
I've worked with people like this - they're usually very dogmatic and won't defer to the status quo. This can be useful because they'll find low-hanging fruit like this that everyone else just accepts.

Long-term I find them annoying to work with because they seem to chase progressively higher cost/lower return changes. Especially in a startup context they're obsessed with being technically correct over building something people actually want. Green field stuff takes 10x as long as it needs to because they refuse to release something quickly and iterate.
Yep. Worked on application like that, too, albeit with only something like 140 modules maintained by team of 20.

It had a repository in subversion but modules were versioned by their owners by making copy of the code in a new folder with version in the name.

Builds were not automated and instead each module owner built it manually in Eclipse and "uploaded" them binaries to svn. Each module had a single owner, nobody else knew anything about the module except for the owner. Builds could not be executed when the owner was not available.

I was required to "prove myself" before I was given read access to module I was supposed to start my work on.

The application had a lot of problems in the form of "there was a bug a month ago and now it reappeared because somebody forgot to include the module in the updated version this deployment".

There was ostensibly a "database layer" but different versions of it were used throughout the application. The versions were really branches of it because they included workarounds for app-specific problems that they did not want to be present on other services for the reason of "stability". This of course made it a nightmare for me when I decided to create a proper Gradle build.

Each jar or class was updated separately. I spent a quarter trying to convince teams with their managers that just versioning everything together and deploying everything everywhere at the same time is going to be a better strategy. They said if updating single jars and classes causes so many problems then updating everything has no chance of working. 2 years after I made the change there was still not a single deployment that would fail.
It's not far from that, in terms of the original purpose.

Esperanto is very easy to learn, compared to a natural language. English is the right one to compare with, since that became the international lingua franca esperanto wanted to be.

There are even some studies suggesting that the quickest way to teach english is to teach esperanto first, and the language learning skills acquired shorten the path to fluency enough to be worth it.

I think 10X is true in certain situations, but displacing incumbents can be more about path dependence than degrees of improvement.

Does that vector also have fixed magnitude?

It's magnitude is called 'mass' (or 'rest mass'/'invariant mass' if you want to differentiate it from the concept of 'relativistic mass', which probably should be retired).

This means we have

four-momentum = mass * four-velocity

whereas

three-momentum = gamma * mass * three-velocity

I didn't say that at all.

One plausible alternative is that we don't deploy systems like this, which have the ability to cause widespread damage including loss of life in moments, until we have worked out how to secure them properly against a single point of catastrophic failure like that. There are things that could be done to mitigate that threat in the meantime.

This is set against the knowledge that existing human-driven vehicles are involved in many tragic accidents per year, also causing widespread damage including loss of life. But there are other things that can be done to limit the damage there as well, without relying on autonomous vehicles as a silver bullet.
>And we do not measure fuel consumption in "miles per gallon" , but "liters per 100km".

Actually that is the "official" way of measurement (what you see on the car specifications or what the on board computer tells you), in speaking it is more common to say that you made 22 Km/liter (or 18, etc.) than to say you used 4.55 liters/100 Km (or 5.56 liters/100 Km).

- Due to the long benchmark time that was nearly 35 hours if running continuous tests, we can not perform many times for each test to give the best result.

- Using 2 tools Sysbench and YCSB cannot tell the strength of both databases, but we can make some judgments about the 2 databases to apply them to the actual problems.

- According to the benchmark statistics above, we see that TiDB is capable of performing Read, Read-Update transactions like the select, select update, select delete very well, whereas YugabyteDB performs well in write transactions like insert, delete, update.

- For queries that do not use transactions, both TiDB and YugabyteDB have shown their abilities, but YugabyteDB is better than TiDB in throughput and latency P99.
