For things like this, they're generally produced in (large) batches on a line, then once the run is finished the line is retooled for whatever is next on the schedule.

If nintendo use a third party manufacturer then I can't imagine there was much ceremony. If they own their production facilities then maybe they had a little mini-party? Most likely it'd depend on the particular teams working in the factory and what the culture is like.

Having said that, they may not even have known when the run was finished that it was going to be the last (management still pondering whether to do another run, or stock from the previous run lasted longer than expected so no new product produced) so it may well have been a total non-event.

There's no official national contact tracing in Sweden. Every region does it differently and some not at all.

Is it? I don't think it is included on Windows --- it is available on sysinternal, sure, but not included. (Unless something has changed from when I stopped using Windows)

> Like, what does this do apart from a regular git clone? Why is this necessary?

You can't see a difference between ```gh repo clone owner/repo``` and ```git clone git@github.com:owner/repo.git```?

Also:

> Something like "git clone ssh://github.com/foo/bar" followed by "gh init foo/bar"

What's there to "init"?

> Same goes here. Why overlaying git commands? I would have expected to just push my branch, and then call something like "gh pr create <my branch> <target branch>"

From the docs: "When the current branch isn’t fully pushed to a git remote, a prompt will ask where to push the branch [...]"

> Same remark again and again, what does that do apart from checking out a branch? Why the overlay?

It resolves the pr # to the corresponding branch name, probably git fetch and checkout. Why should I have to know the irrelevant piece of information that is how you named your branch?

> So what's wrong with "git diff <target>..<source>"

How do you find out the target and source hashes? Another piece of convenience.

> Come on.. "git co <target> ; git merge <source>" needs to be overplayed?

And this is wrong. This merges source in target locally, ```gh pr merge``` merges it remotely. You can be Linus Torvalds, you are not going to push to my master branch.

many of the dead in india aren't tested for COVID. Who's to say what the accurate number of COVID deaths.

More info - https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01865-w

Remember also that India is the only country in the world to not acknowledge community transmission. There's little to no contact tracing happening.

Regardless of information flow, India's COVID numbers are likely off by orders of magnitude.
It is interesting that consumer 3D printers boomed after the major foundational patents died, but it might be an accident of history as well, because low cost manufacturing and low cost computation helped make 3D printers affordable for consumers.

3D printers were used by industry for many years prior to the expiration, esp. in aerospace and the military.

I'm afraid of this too--that's why I'm rooting for Athens!

It's pretty clear from e.g. Roam's pricing that they're primarily targeting institutional licenses. They seem to have been pretty successful there, too.

Once Athens arrives, I fully expect them to eat Roam's lunch when it comes to individuals.

If PG&E is maintaining power transmissions lines that are surrounded by a known gigantic reservior of combustible material then they are still responsible for when their equipment ignites that material.

That doesn't remove the onus on land management to engage in best forestry practices, but PG&E still has a significant burden of responsibility.
Foreign visitors to China staying in non-hotels are required to register at the local police station. The police in the city I visit use their personal cellphones to take pictures of your passport, use their personal WeChat accounts to send them who-knows-where, and then store them in paper form on the top of their desks. Anyone who walks in to register can see what kinds of foreigners are staying, where they're staying, their jobs, passport numbers, etc.
With the advent of more people working at home, with a greater variety of headphone/headset devices it's even more of a hassle to use linux for daily work tasks.

I never experienced this, but I did wait too long to buy a domain. After I checked if the domain was available(it was), I started building the website. A month later the domain was bought by someone who eventually made the same thing I wanted to make.

My current process for checking if a domain is available is pretty basic. I first check it in the browser. If Firefox can't find it, then I use the `whois` command. If there is no match for "example.com" then I decide if I want to buy it, before starting to build anything. If I do decide to get it, I go to Hover.com do a final check and press "Add to cart".

These days, for me it's better to spend $15 on a domain that might not get used, than to regret not buying it.
Said a different way;

A dehumidifier is just an air conditioner with the evaporator and condensor in the same air space.
It's almost free for them, so there's very little downside for them to register thousands of domains. I'd love to see how long it took them to block malicious searches, though.
I wonder what the ancient Greeks and Romans thought about the buildings they were building? Did they think that if it was still standing in 150 years they'd be happy? Would they be surprised the buildings were still standing 1000s of years later, or was that what they were hoping for at the outset?
"For a start, it means ensuring all employees regardless of background feel that they are important and valued members of the team"

I don't think it's a manger's job to pat someone on the back for every good thing you do at a company. If you aren't getting enough attention, speak up. If that still isn't working, leave.

"They treated all employees the same regardless of how hard they worked or whether they needed additional training and did not seem to value employees for their contributions"

If someone needs additional training, they should speak up and take some personal responsibility. Many times, leaders are doing things like running an actual company and have a tremendous amount of daily responsibility.

"These leaders discouraged others from sharing their ideas or excluded employees from important meetings if they did not agree with the manager’s views"

Your job as an employee is to make your manager look good. If you are loudly disagreeing with them about anything, it doesn't make them look good to their boss(s). This can be done in private.

If your manager still doesn't agree, your idea stops there. If you follow this rule, you have a much better career.

There is also this trend that everyone's ideas matter and should be taken seriously. This just isn't true. I have 20+ years of experience. I have heard ridiculous ideas from employees/co-workers with very little experience.

Will I listen? Yes. Do I have time to hear every single idea and explain exactly why we aren't doing things a certain way? no. I also think some people confuse 'listening' to 'implementing/using' an idea or suggestion.

"Participants also described less inclusive leaders as having a tendency to blame others when things went wrong and to create divides among employees by using “us versus them” language"

Not to get political, but this reminds me of the conservatives that work in the California tech companies that aren't even allowed to speak their opinions out loud (or online) without getting harassed and/or fired. If the 'us' vs 'them' mentality is going to ever going to stop, this sort of behavior also needs to stop.

"In my evaluations they say all positive things but never the things I need to work on. I know I’m not being promoted for a reason, but they just don’t want to tell me. I trust the leader more if they are honest or transparent.”"

This is more a part of our current climate than ever. If you tell someone the truth, it could get you fired. Nobody wants to be cancelled, so this is the result.

I think inclusion should be not even looking at the color of a person's skin and only hiring based on experience and merit. However, I see countless posts on Twitter from local companies with all female tech teams labeled as 'diverse' and 'inclusive', when it's the exact opposite.
I went around a very similar issue by doing it in reverse.

As a 3D printing hobbyist who uses F360, I don't see these changes having a major effect on me or many of the people who post on r/3Dprinting and r/functionalprint. (I'm not sure they'll have any effect on me.)
Fortunately, they stole a domain from me well over a decade ago, before I really got into domains, so I've known to avoid them.
That's not evidence of herd immunity thresholds being wrong though, that just opens up questions that need answers. Plus, the % positive rate doesn't seem to show a trend over the last 2 months, so I don't think your initial premise of "cases have been declining" is true.

I guess I'm not sure if we in disagreement or not, or which part of what I said you are objecting to.

If you are only saying that some pirates would never buy the game, or that DRM also saves money later in the game lifecycle, I totally agree.

If you are claiming that all or most pirates cant afford the game, or that people who afford it wouldn't download a crack instead, I disagree.

My position is that DRM save companies a tremendous amount of money, mostly in the post release period, but also later. I think that many, people who bought the game would pirate instead if the crack existed and was easily accessible. I am saying that most sales occur early in the lifestyle when DRM is generally more effective. Do you agree?

>DRM can't do anything about those sales when it's broken by the time the price is reduced, and it can't do anything about the people who pirate the game because they can't afford even that price.

I agree that DRM cant make a broke person buy the game or stop a dedicated pirate after it is cracked.
fwiw, this (Material Shell) feels very similar to that.

I kept trying to pick a thing in that article to call out as a warning here but the hits. Just. Kept. Coming.

Instead I will just recommend two things to anyone dreaming of buying a house. Start watching This Old House, [especially] the back catalog. Almost everything that can go wrong on a house has gone wrong there. And remember this while watching it:

Intelligent people learn from their own mistakes, while wise people learn from the mistakes of others.

The “cat litter” crack about bentonite clay: bentonite is nearly the only way people discuss for building an artificial pond if you don’t want to use a synthetic liner. But you don’t get a pond by sealing half of the hole you dug (and it takes a lot of clay). The water just runs out somewhere else. Or in this case, in.

Edit: Old TOH > New TOH
Sounds like the “components” described above are much larger than classes.
So it sounds like tradeoffs. Go to a big city, get a high salary, can't afford a house. Go to a medium size city, get a lower salary, can afford a house.

I'm not surprised there is a utopian city where salaries are high and housing is cheap.

I think the fact that you don't care about challenges for small companies and new technology is a huge problem. Stopping new entrants into a space is pretty much anti-competition. Preventing new technologies is anti-innovation.

Competition and innovation are the most important things to a healthy economy and market. So essentially, SOC2 both stifles innovation and ruins economies.

I find it hard to believe you couldn't engineer a solution to muffle the sound. Assuming holding down the power button to turn it off didn't work (like, you know, every other phone and tablet ever) you could shove it under your mattress, in the freezer, put it in a ziploc and submerge it in the tub/sink, go throw it in the trunk of your car, stick it in a parcel and mail it to the owner...

I don't think there's much room for sentiment on a factory floor where most things are automated. It's nice to imagine there's some nostalgic engineer who grew up with Nintendo consoles and personally put the finishing touches on the last 3DS or something like that... but it's more likely that the last one got pushed out and they went on making all the other consoles instead. Manufacturing hardware can most likely be repurposed and, if not, simply gets sold off for parts.
> Masks are common in the supermarkets, etc.

This is outright false. I've been to a big supermarket twice this week and didn't see a single mask as far as I can recall.
Remember: the alternative isn't that everyone gets $1 masks. The alternative is that almost everyone must go without one at all.
My expectation is as companies like Adobe, Autodesk, et al become more bloated in their cloud pricing two things will happen:

a) First, nuking the hobbyist/amateur users asphyxiates your future pipeline. These people will now use and invest their time in open source alternatives. Free open source alternatives that have downsides, over time will no longer have downsides.

b) Your big corporate customers will independently finance the development of those open source platforms.

As someone who first used Blender when it was a year or two old, and then didn't look at it again until 2.8: wow, they have done a damn good job. It isn't Maya or Modo, and misses some unique use cases, but it is amazingly easy to use. Learning curve from start to working animated model in game engine was hours not days.

If Blender is any indication, the open source software tools are on a trajectory to be a lot better than the commercial stuff given enough time and focus.
Wouldn't annual re-exposure to a similar virus "renew" the immunity?
Yea, that's what I thought, too. I guess that's what different social circles does to perspective.
Easy now. I didn’t say it didn’t do it, I said it shouldn’t do it. You made it sound like you thought this was what was supposed to happen, and I just wanted to help you out.

Edit: Apologies if the last sentence in my first message seemed rude. Not my intention.
The number you're citing for Stockholm is from April, well before the outbreak became severe in Sweden. Cases in Sweden continued to grow after that, and didn't peak until late June, when daily case counts were 3x higher than in April. (Although it's important to point out differences in testing - the positivity rate peaked April 20th - 26th).

That's a different experience than Madrid, where the virus hit much earlier. By the end of April, daily case counts were 1/5th of their peak in Madrid.

I'm not aware of a more recent study.
> I always wonder why a consortium of big manufacturers (say Ford, Caterpillar, Hitachi, etc) don't just throw their weight behind some FOSS CAD initiative and get something standard that they can rely on forever.

The problem for these businesses is that their internal CAD libraries are essentially proprietary tooling, they don't have an interest in making it open source, and much of the tooling around those libraries and software packages is proprietary or patented.

It's kind of analogous to Qualcomm's stranglehold over cellular communications. If you don't pay them you're also throwing away decades of IP and tooling around it, and lose interoperability.
How have hobbyists historically afforded Autodesk software? I dabbled in 3ds Max back in the day, but I was never under the impression I could justify purchasing it.
The pamphlet was published in 1661, yet it appears to have been largely ignored. Pollution continued unabated and even in 1952 the Great Smog of London [1] killed an estimated 10,000 people over the course of a couple of days, and made another 100,000 sick.

Really makes you think what kind of warning that was ignored in 2020 will be unearthed in the year 2311 to be considered very foretelling.

Because social distancing is only one part of equation.

Sweden has managed to address some of its other issues related to spread & fatalities. Notable among these are nursing homes, which had been a key source of spread. Once proper precautions were taken, they have stopped being as much of an issue.

That said, Sweden isn't out of the woods: The current trends are flat at best, and perhaps have a slight upward cast to them for new infections over the past few weeks.
In this case, felons.io, there is no registrant listed, even on who.godaddy.com. So how can you definitively say that GoDaddy saw that search from the OP and registered the domain?

I'm not saying they didn't do it, but I base my opinions on facts, not speculation or "they've been doing it for years".

I'm just not seeing any evidence in the WHOIS record that GoDaddy registered that domain--it could have been one of their customers.

Since I pay for results that’s their problem. At least financially. Dealing with delays is easier if they don’t come with crazy extra costs.

Imagine paying someone an extra $10,000 because they missed the deadline. That’s how hourly works.
True but as a solo or small team, freemium is not sustainable. Instead, double down on trying to get those previous Free users to actually pay for the service by providig something much better which solves real pain for them.
This is tangental, but I want applaud the mindset that produces the phrase "the opportunity to run into those sorts of issues".
Can you link some prior evidence? I can believe it but is there proof? Could some other data have led another party to registering OP's domain idea?
Likewise, although recently it's improved
It would be easy to test - query for some random domains on their site and see what happens. Which seems close to the story here.

(As a bonus - securities regulators can easily request business records, and will raid offices if they need to - it could be argued a more energetic approach like this in the tech space would not be a bad thing and I would expect travel in this direction as economies continue to rely on further on IT and if companies pull stunts like this it will be deserved).

"Continuing insanity" ? It's completely absurd to say that we can achieve controlled herd immunity when a) we don't know how much of the population is required to be infected to achieve it and b) we don't know how long immunity lasts and c) the serology tests are not completely accurate.

In order to beat this thing back, we need to use the tools our ancestors did - quarantine and isolation - and complement them with modern strategies. In the US, we still have approximately 40k additional infections a day, and we're drowning in a sea of comorbidities.

Re-opening to let however many people die so we can get back to normal isn't a strategy, it's giving up.
Something similar happened to me while buying a domain for my company abtesting.ai using namecheap.

I was trying to decide between abtesting.ai and abtest.ai (both were free while checking). Luckily I decided to go with abtesting.ai and got the domain right away. A week after that I decided that it may be a good idea to buy abtest.ai anyway so someone else wouldn't try to impersonate our company. However, when I checked again the domain was already sold...
