I'd agree about that when it comes to most of the 'supplement' side of his fungi business. I'm a bit less skeptical when it comes to this particular application regarding bees: it seems like a pretty easy thing to test and is likely more regulated than the supplements business.

I guess at the end of the day I want to believe there's a solid solution for colony collapse, otherwise we might be screwed.
>Is a happy delusion preferable to a miserable reality?

Your miserable reality is one where:

* Nation-states have full access to location data to many Americans

* Ad companies abusing user data to push questionable products

* Moneyed interests spreading disinformation through hypertargetting.

This isn't hyperbole. Snowden already showed the length the USG was willing to go (1). Facebook is currently under fire for (2) and (3).

So yes, I'd gladly trade away my freedom in my pocket toy to ensure I retain my freedoms in my everyday life. If it's unfair that Epic has to charge a 30% markup on "v-bucks" so be it. The Developer complaints, deceptions and censorship have been so laughably elementary compared to the level abuse that Apple's wall garden prevents. It, again, shows the level blindness that utopians who can build from source have ignored.

If I cared about device freedom, there are plenty of phones on the market that provide that. However I have explicitly bought into Apple's platform in order to prevent developers from doing whatever they wish on my device.
Not sure why parent was voted down but it's true. The inputs have a lot to do with the outputs. Grass fed beef has its advantages in many ways, but grain fed does as well. Generally, you see a nice balance when a cow is grass fed most its life and then fed grain the last couple months to fatten it up.

Aaron Franklin talks about this in his book and mentions he only uses grain fed beef for BBQ. Grass fed briskets just aren't as tasty and lack the marbling of a prime Angus brisket, in his opinion. But the guy has cooked over 100 briskets each day for over a decade so I imagine it carries some weight.

In my preference for steaks, I like both. But it depends on the cut. For a Ribeye I'll take the grain fed. For a filet I'll take grass.
Somebody knows something similar for sqlite?
Near my office in SF there is a guy who sits on the street corner with his pants rolled up so you can see that his calves were pretty much just two big, open, leaking sores as a side effect of so many injections. I bought him some bandages but he wouldn't use them until the end of the day because showing them off got him more sympathy money that he needed in order to purchase more injections. The motivation center of his brain has been completely hijacked by a product. Suffering to death is no longer a concern for him. Only the product matters.
The General Hospital soap opera TV show has been running for 57 years. Facebook was only launched 16 years ago.
Most of the benefits you mention come from weight loss, and almost any intervention that can cut weight during the first years would report similar improvements.

Plenty of people lose weight, drop blood sugar and drop blood pressure by going keto. And some with a more extreme carnivore diet.

The real comparison here would be to have "2 people like you" 6 years ago and have two interventions. One going vegetarian and another going keto or carnivore, and see where there are now.
If my unit tests are testing all of my public interfaces with "Given input X, expect output Y" and they're all passing, that gives me pretty good confidence that the system is in good shape. Most of the time when you do uncover and fix a bug, there is a unit test that you can write which would have detected it, which can then be running for all of the future releases to prevent any regressions.

I'm not advocating for exclusively unit tests, e2e tests are absolutely still necessary to make sure everything plays nicely when you put it all together. I was simply disagreeing with the parent comment that you should lean more on e2e tests than unit tests. I prefer a ratio of unit-integration-e2e tests which is closer to the "Practical test pyramid" [0]

That makes it sound like, in the old spec, you could totally ignore the problem so long as your particular architecture is two's complement. But that's not true: remember that C and C++ are (notoriously) not just high-level assembly, but instead are defined against an abstract virtual machine. What that means in practice is that if your code invokes any undefined behaviour, even if it seems like it ought to work in a particular way given the actual machine it runs on, then the optimiser is allowed to do whatever it likes.

For example, if you convert a number from unsigned to signed and then test `if (x<0)` then the compiler is allowed to optimise away that whole if statement because there's no standards-compliant program that would ever take that path. As another example, if the compiler can prove that a value will be greater than INT_MAX and then you convert it to signed then the computer is allowed to replace that conversion, and the code following it, with a call to `abort()` – after all, no compliant program could possibly follow that path so it can assume that what it has really proved is that that code will never be executed.

This change to the standard means you don't need to worry about those possibilities, even on machines that actually are two's complement.
So... break the law and get my newly built houses torn down?

You do understand what I'm saying, which is in TFA: You are legally not allowed to build new housing without these systems.
Let me get this straight.

You wrote a piece of code while employed. The rights went automatically to the employer, because work for hire.

The employer releases the code under a permissive license on their Github. To everyone.

You don't see any exceptions in the text of the license. The license says that as long as the license and copyright notices are preserved, any rando in the world can do whatever they please with that code. "Any rando" includes but is not limited to: their competitors, the maniac next block who's out to get them, the police, ICE, Hamas terrorists, maybe even their own mothers-in-law. But they don't care, they released it. Period.

Yet somehow you (and a good half of the commenters) imply that there's maybe some unwritten clause that specifically denies the license grant to you, the freaking author of said code, specifically, even though it's not there in the license text.

The mere existence of such thought, and the number of people who subscribe to it, is sickening me to no end. I loathe their filthy minds.
Apple doesn’t even have 50% of the smartphone market.

It sounds like you’re an App developer so perhaps it would be more honest to just explicitly state that you want to make more money rather than claim your on the verge of tears?
Maybe that's just the natural progression for technologies that are dependencies of other technologies. As a software business you don't want to depend on too many pieces of software (or hardware) that you have little to no control over. Linux is the best example of a solution for that problem - even the tech giants won't bother making their own OS anymore if there is already one out there that they can use and modify. And ISAs (RISC-V) will probably follow that route too.

What's interesting though is that businesses seem to be unable to initiate that progress on their own. You need those vocal FOSS people for that, who will tirelessly drag technology towards an ideal we'll never reach... but nobody else will get the ball rolling. FOSS as the basis for entire ecosystems of businesses that would have never existed without it makes total sense, but no business will create it out of thin air. I think this gradual opening up like with TimescaleDB is simply an effect of the wind blowing in that direction. Few will be going full speed, but nobody wants to be left behind.
If you can't live without blacklists, then maintain them yourself. No protocol will do it for you, if DNS or IRC gets inconvenient, then botnets move to reddit or twitter (some already did).

You can easily control the domains, schedule their use, and not worry about takedowns.
It depends on the nature of the hearing loss, for example, FX-322 and OTO-6XX appear to work by triggering regeneration of hair cells, while OTO-413 appears to work by triggering regeneration of synaptic connections (both of which are probably egregious oversimplifications because I am a security nerd, not a medical researcher :P)
> Apple is doing what everyone else is doing

Microsoft has the Xbox Game Pass app on Android, Apple is doing the opposite.

> but if that is illegal then it should also be illegal for Epic to have a monopoly on skins in Rocket League.

I think the analogy doesn't fit. Like a laptop/desktop, smartphones are general computing platforms. Specific purpose devices like iPods, Nintendo Switch really don't fit into this category much less a game.

Imagine if Microsoft had not allowed Windows to play nice with iPods, they wouldn't have sold the volumes they were able to move and Apple wouldn't have been able to built themselves back up.

Smartphones/tablets have been the logical successors of desktops/laptops for a lot of consumers. They have to be open for others to flourish as well. The last thing I would want is for few companies to own everything, everyone should get a chance to compete on equal terms.
Postgres has great docs. It's one of the big reasons I love it so much. Very comprehensive, although I usually skip straight to the examples.
My experience is analogies are erroneously as supporting arguments to jump from premise to conclusion of an unrelated topic. I saw them a lot at my family's various religious/cult gatherings when I was a kid. The preacher would state something and then "prove" it with an analogy.

Analogies don't accomplish anything in basically all of the uses I've seen. People want them to serve as proof, but it's a lazy way of getting out of showing the validity of a conclusion.

I'm guessing you don't use Android at all, but it is very difficult to accidentally install something outside of the play store. I would even say it is tricky to purposely install something outside of the play store.
> 1. Strong code ownership breaks a code base up into modules (classes, functions, files) and assigns each module to one developer. Developers are only allowed to make changes to modules they own. If they need a change made to someone else’s module they need to talk to the module owner and get them to make the change. You can accelerate this process by writing a patch for the other module and sending that to the module owner.

I work on a team that supports about 2 dozen services, some with few modules, some with lots of modules. What happens when someone is sick or takes a vacation? How does what achieve coverage and competency unless there is shared ownership?

When new members are onboarded onto the team a lot of time is spent on building their competency in different domains and modules so they are able to be productive in different areas. We've also split the team several times to refine the domain and lessen the scope of what is needed for dev onboarding.

I think it is wise in many if not most companies to have strong team ownership of modules. Individuals are fragile.

Every journalistic or popular science or economics book I’ve read recently seems to go to great lengths to come up with helpful analogies (sometimes dragging on for pages.) But there is a fundamental contradiction in that the topic of the book is supposedly interesting or remarkable because something about it is novel, otherwise the book wouldn’t need to exist. The analogy can give readers a fake feeling of following along, but whenever I study the topic in detail I find the analogy based understanding was incorrect.

> No you don't. PARENT_SCOPE is needed to write variables into parent scope, but not read.

You're talking about an entirely different thing then. Subprojects do inherit scope, but that is only relevant if you intentionally, and for some reason, want to reuse variables that were inherited. This is often used to propagate config settings from the project root to all submodules, but you only do this if that's something you explicitly want to.

> Even so. Yes, when working very carefully, when you are a single developer writing on a small projects, and enforce code style, it is possible to keep the mess manageable.

It really isn't. If you're dealing with a problem where random team members break stuff without oversight or awareness of what they're doing, and if this happens so often that you start to deflect blame at tooling, then you're not dealing with a build system problem. You're dealing with poor software engineering practices that not only goes way deeper than the build system but also cannot be fixed by replacing it.

> When at least 100 people work on the project, if a project is several years old, if half of the team changed, CMake project is always a mess.

It really isn't. What's always a mess under those circumstances is unmaintained code developed without any care or oversight, which just builds crust by accretion. The choice of build system has no influence on that outcome, not does the problem stay circumscribed to the build system.

As the saying goes, bad workers always blame their tools. Well, we can extend that saying to badly managed teams.
Agree, they don't even have backups in the non-enterprise license.

I subscribed and purchased lots of random apps through App Store because it is easy and I know that I can easily cancel my subscription or refund my money. So far, I only subscribed to Netflix and Sketch from a website.
I can easily say that I threw more of my money to random apps on AppStore.

If a subscription service would use Apple Pay and I can cancel inside Apple Pay by deactivating the virtual card, I may subscribe these services in or out iPhone. But Apple pay is not available on everywhere.
> Should television shows been punished for cliffhangers because they hook people into seeing the next episode?

Does this significantly negatively impact the lives of viewers or of those around them? Addiction doesn't just mean "want to have it". Addiction means "want to have it so bad it messes up other aspects of my life".

(For what it's worth, I do personally avoid cliff-hanger shows because I find the anxiety and frustration of being left hanging is rarely sufficiently well compensated by the quality of the show.)
I wholeheartedly agree.

For all of you that think scrum is the best thing in the world, ask yourself this: How did software get built before scrum?

Some fantastic pieces of software were born either before scrum or after 1986 but disregarded scrum entirely.

Scrum might have some good bits here and there, but nowadays it's just used to create digitized busy work and meaningless jobs such as "Scrum Master".

The article is right on the money about tech debt, excluding the developer from the product, and the dumb assumption that all software development can be planned in an orderly big task and smaller task fashion and no flexibility whatsoever is allowed.

Software development is unpredictable, whatever your experience I'm sure you've all had to fuck up entire sprints while getting angry looks from management due to things that are completely outside of your control, be they technical or human in nature.

Let's let this die already.

Why isn't Epic forced to make it a platform? They have a large captive audience with money and I want a cut of it. Opening it up to everyone will drive competition to the digital skin market, and as we all know from this thread, that's a good thing. Why does Epic get to monopolize their game's monetization?
You don't necessarily need to. You might just transparently use them in a lot of cases. In others you'll just read the docs when you need to do something specific.
Yes, one advantage of INTO over JO is that the interrupt mechanism insures that you know where you came from, so you can build location reporting on top of that.

However, I would consider that advantage fairly small, and it's not easy to implement either in a modular way since the way interrupts or signals are handled is a shared global thing, so you have to have process-wide agreement on how this overflow trapping is going to work (or at least an agreement on how to disagree). In a shared runtime language where everything plays by the same rules, but in low level native langues like C, C++ and Rust it is more difficult.

A jump based approach has the advantage that is is standalone and really doesn't seem much more expensive than INTO. The single jump instruction, and a bit more cold, out of line, code if you want accurate location reporting.

If/when AMD and Intel start fusing JO with the preceding arithmetic operation, it will be have a non-trivial perf advantage over INTO.

I don't think your assertion necessarily holds. There are several schools of philosophy that assert that selfishness is the highest moral standard. If I were selfish enough I should realize that being cooperative with my fellow man was the best way to get more for myself in life. Recognizing that the pie can be grown allows one to align their personal greed with the common good. I don't go to work every day out of the goodness of my heart (some perceived moral standard), but to provide a better life for me and my family.

Take for example all the technological progress of the modern era. Little of that would be possible if we didn't have massive, stable, cooperative societies. Any rational, selfish agent should recognize this and not resort to hunger games. This is also the reason capitalism seems generally more productive than communism. Instead of trying to fight or rewrite human nature, its more productive align incentives such that we can harness it.
People here are consumers too. To give my anecdata:

I used to subscribe to the NYT and made the mistake of not subscribing using Apple's subscriptions mechanism. When I wanted to cancel for a while, I had to go through a whole spiel with their sales rep to get them to honor my cancellation. With other subscription services on Apple (like many the TV streaming subscriptions) cancelling is a couple of standard clicks and you're done. No questions asked. I've cancelled and re-subscribed to thing like HBO multiple times because of it, but I will never be resubscribing to the NYT again.

I don't want 90 different ways to cancel 90 different subscriptions from 90 different stores for 90 different apps on my phone, so yeah I do appreciate having one place to do it, and I wish it were harder for developers to skirt the App Store infrastructure to push their own consumer-hostile options.

That's some really weak logic.
Epic could market the device at first to their own customers, many of whom are kids who don’t need banking apps.

Network effects are strong, but not impossible to overcome. All they need to do is sell the device to users who don’t care about banking apps for long enough for banking apps to be uploaded to their store.

As for the the deal with OnePlus and LG. I don’t believe it was anything like what I am suggesting - that was just a co-marketing effort.

They weren’t going to create a new and open platform based on Android.

The argument that nobody can ever compete against Android no matter what they do is a weak one.

The iPod was an incredibly niche device when it was launched.

There is a proven market for handheld gaming platforms that don’t run banking apps. Epic could start there and build out, just like Apple did.
