Dang, lots of Mozilla hate. OK, I'll take the bait.

Why don't we have more advocates for unplugging from the internet? A reasonable person that has lived both online and offline lives would certainly come to the conclusion that online life is inherently inferior to an "offline" life. Social media is inherently unhealthy and attracts people with unhealthy lifestyles and choices. Why should Mozilla's mission be to promote a "healthy" and "online" life when "healthy" and "online" we know cannot coexist?

Like, instead of donating to Mozilla to promote good social media use for teenagers/children, how about donating to $NONPROFIT to give low-income families a quality Boy Scouts/camping experience and learn how to live and enjoy life through healthier means for example? We do not have to make online life the norm.

Ha! I was the only one taking AP-level everything and electronics and power mechanics as my electives!

The shop teacher was so grateful that he finally had someone super-interested in more advanced topics that I got to do extra projects he'd had on his wish list for years. One of my favorite high school memories and experiences.
Main is pretty solid as a term, though. And the amount of people who know what a master recording is is minuscule in my experience, especially among non-native English speakers.

Main is kind of obvious, even if you don't know a lot about English.

this is not correct. Ctrl-f "USB Type-C", it's right there.

1. Should be the case for sure.

2. I think the other argument you could make against that is not everyone has the same time to merge. If it takes two weeks to get merged, I basically have to have the PR in by the second week of October.
Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I find it misleading because Kubernetes is a massive platform that does all manner of things besides just supervising your Pods, and in fact I had to think about it for a while before concluding that the supervisory function is likely what the author was alluding to.

It strikes me as saying that an oxygen mask in a hospital room is like an airplane: sure they both provide a facility for providing oxygen to the user, but the airplane is significantly more complex than simply an oxygen delivery system. Probably a terrible analogy, just thinking off the top of my head.
> Are we also going to rename master-bedrooms?

Yes! This is happening! Realtors are often now framing the largest bedroom (often with attached bathroom) as the Primary Bedroom.
> most behaviors related to success are highly genetically heritable

And the implications of this are what?

See, that's the problem with these claims. They serve no purpose other than to suggest that some people are inherently better or more deserving than others. But we live in a liberal democracy based on equality before the law. It wouldn't matter if some people are more predisposed to crime or smarter or whatever. The law should be blind.
Then the original is a "fake" too. The past was not black and white, jittery, and silent.

It isn't taking a true record and making it fake, it's taking a fake record and making it differently fake.
ok and they might hack a customer. or you after the fact if you upset them. it’s the violation of where they’re allowed to debug that is the issue.
There's three possible outcomes:

1. The victim organization that has my data gets everything encrypted and is forced to pay a ransom.
2. The same happens, but the hackers also release the stolen data, including my PII.
3. The hackers just sell the stolen PII from the start.

As a consumer, I far prefer option 1. Maybe it will teach them to protect their system, and my PII, better.

If my PII is released somehow, well that's what used to happen anyway. So it not happening is an improvement.

I would add Christopher Schwartz to this list. Not really on youtube but his publishing company Lost Art Press is an absolute gold mine for information. His blog (blog.lostartpress.com) has some good information too.
They should change it again and again, just for the sake of changing since developers don't deserve their sanity. That's cheap publicity.
So change it to "default", afterwards change again to "trunk" after that change again to something else no-one cares anyway, it's all just great fun. Btw move to Gitlab instead!
Because a photograph is already a lossy simulation of some real situation. But then, even though we don't know what WW1 or Marilyn Monroe really looked like, we know what the artifacts look like. Upscaling is yet another level of simulation. What it says beyond the immediate impact is more about the early era of deep learning than it says about WW1. But it also entices us to mistake this Disneyland WW1 for something that's supposedly behind the original artifact (which did have some reference to the real battle). This is what Baudrillard calls the hyperreal.
Does this include a lease of a phone unit?
I agree, we'll get used to it in a few years, and think nothing of it.

I'm not totally convinced if this is an appropriate or effective response to systemic racism - compared to, say, working on company culture or donating to worthwhile causes to address the more substantial issues in society.

But the fact that the new default branch name is shorter, 4 letters instead of 6, is a saving grace. I can see the value, while being skeptical of the reasoning behind it. Even those opposing the change would probably agree that it's logically a better naming.
They got pricier because they dropped their ~100 dollar model which was sad to see.

My Honda Odyssey has Android Auto support. It only works if I plug the USB-C end of the cable into my Pixel 3 in one orientation. If I rotate it 180º the systems can't connect.

I have yet to figure out why this is the case, but it's supremely frustrating when a reversible cable is not in fact reversible.
> *You don't have to be "older and wiser" to know that you aren't supposed to murder people.

I mean, I'm not sure how relevant "knowing" anything is, but age is an incredibly strong predictor of criminality. Gender is another one. The majority of crime, and the overwhelming majority violent crime, is committed by young men. One factor that likely contributes to this reliable statistical phenomenon is that the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for decision-making, self-control, emotional self-regulation, and other aspects of executive function, doesn't fully develop until around 25 years of age. For one example of how executive function relates to criminal behavior, look into the connection between ADHD (a disorder linked to deficiencies in the prefrontal cortex) and crime.

I agree that most people haven't killed anyone, but I also don't think that there's any reason for any of us to assume that 'we' would have behaved any differently when placed in the circumstances of those who have.

I don’t think anyone’s arguing that everyone wants this, but I think it (including “privacy as a service” as part of point №1) is ⅔ of the value proposition.
Thanks, but no thanks! Have you tried doing it? For me it was easier to locate the original paper backup even though it meant significant amount of travelling to the place where it was kept just so that the UTXOs don't get joined.

I'm talking about the UX itself trying to make me lose privacy, and you suggest a solution that is even more complicated and especially expensive. Also what you suggest needs to be done slow enough so that the transactions can't be joined by the time of sending.

I'm writing about a real problem that happened to me just a few days ago and getting answers without practical real solutions that would be better than what I have done.

The repo is always going to be leading. If you create a repo locally with a master branch and push it to Github, it will still have a master branch on Github and all the commits will be visible normally. Github is not going to automatically add an empty main branch without your permission.

The only difference is that Github might not assume the name 'master' for the default branch anymore, so you may have to change the default branch in the project's settings on Github. Possibly Github will detect that there's only one branch and set it as the default, or recognize 'master' as the initial default branch. We'll have to wait and see what the exact behavior will be. Either way it won't stop you from using a Git repo with traditional naming conventions on Github in any shape or form.
> is now being changed in explicit reference to human slavery

So? It's being changed to something that's no longer an oblique reference to human slavery. The fact that it's being done to because of that reference to human slavery is the entire point, not a mark against it.
Stacker (S20) | FULL-TIME | REMOTE ONLY (limited to Europe!)
.

We're a YC company on a mission to let anyone create software, by building a no-code app platform. We want to change the way software is built. That's a pretty big task, and we've got some exciting problems:

.

If you're a PRODUCT-FOCUSED ENGINEER, come and talk to us about how we're building a platform that lets us run rich, flexible apps built without fully code.

You'll be creating a React-based app editor that lets users create software through their browser.

You'll be building a Python-based backend that can connect to any data source, and simulate running complex data processes.

You'll taking ideas from programming language design and turning them into flexible functionality that can be used by non-programmers.

You'll be shipping new modules daily, which are used immediately by our users to make their apps work better and do more.

.

If you're a MULTI-SKILLED PRODUCT DESIGNER (UI+UX+Product), come and help us design a modular product that empowers non-developers to build the software they need.

You'll be creating a flexible design system that we can be customized by the user and still look great.

You'll be taking common web features like news feed and messaging, and stripping them down to their most pure form so they work in any app.

You'll be designing a set of modules that let non-technical users feel empowered and able to create amazing, innovative apps.

.

If you're into no-code but none of the roles above fit, then you may be a perfect fit to be a NO-CODE SUCCESS ENGINEER, which is is a legit job title if we say it is.

This is not your average success role.

You'll need to know our product inside-out, including all its capabilities and limitations. Then you'll need to understand our customers, what their businesses do and what they're working towards. Then you'll be proactively working with them to find opportunities where Stacker can help them with their business goals, and make sure they're getting the most out of it.

Throughout all of this, you'll be feeding back valuable insights to the product team, and helping to shape the direction of the product as it grows.

.

We're recently funded, and are a fully remote team, but we get together every few months.

We believe in Radical Transparency, being Empathetic and Kind and Making a Dent in the Universe.

Is there a way to create branch aliases?

Some repo I use still use master, some have main. I can retrain my muscle memory (and my scripts) eventually, but having both of them coexisting around in my various projects directories is already biting me. I honestly don't mind about the name (and if it weren't for muscle memory i think main is nice and short; perhaps "tip" would have been even shorter)
I already contacted support and they sent me a “we’re working on it, here’s our response[1]” response, which I didn’t feel was good enough. I’d send them a support message to make it known that their customers are displeased about their actions.

I was about to write ‘yes’, but on closer reflection it’s a genuine ambiguity. The Oort Cloud (as I understand it) is roughly shaped like a bubble that then gives way to the ecliptically-aligned Kuiper Belt. If the article had mentioned tidal effects of the galaxy upon the latter, I would answer in the affirmative, but as it is... I’m not so sure.
It sounds like you've experienced either just pure luck or that you've carefully selected your components (which degrades the "universality" claim), at least for the Switch, since it doesn't fully implement PD and can short out.
That book has been on my reading list for a while, but I haven't yet done more than skim the first couple chapters. So, disclaimer: The below is my "HOT TAKE" (extremely unsubstantiated opinion) that you should definitely take with a grain of salt!

I really like the idea of providing code+math together! I applaud their attempt at using code to clarify differential geometry notation, which is very overloaded.

However, I am extremely skeptical that using Scheme (or any Lispy language) is the best choice here. I'm guessing the choice of Scheme has little to do with pedagogical value and more to do with the fact that Scheme was created by Sussman, one of the authors.

I think Scheme is a poor choice here, mostly due to its lack of static types / type annotations. I'm also not a fan of S-expressions, but that's a different can of worms. To me, the lack of type information makes Scheme even more difficult to read than appropriately-parenthesized math notation. I think Haskell, Idris, or Julia might be more effective for clear communication of mathematical ideas.

I think this quote sums up my view nicely:

> "Dynamic typing" The belief that you can't explain to a computer why your code works, but you can keep track of it all in your head. (https://chris-martin.org/2015/dynamic-typing)

The book is probably very effective at teaching differential geometry to a target audience that already knows Scheme inside and out. But to everyone else? I'm not so sure.

Yes, and so what?

If the "improved" version didn't exist, how many Youtube views would the original get? 110? 200? 1100? It sure wouldn't be 100,100. On what basis would you assert that 10 or 100 or 1000 people viewing the original was better than 100,000 viewing the enanced version?

And eventually the original gets lost? What it if eventually gets lost anyway, and we don't even have the enhanced version?
The 'U' in USB is wrong, there's nothing universal in USB.
What we do:
Application complexity is shooting through the roof, and a large part of the reason is obsolescence of underlying data platforms that were built for centralized and simpler workloads. We are building the next generation data fabric for cloud native applications - where data mobility and portability is a central theme. This vision is matched by the passion of the founding team (with experience at Google, Facebook, and other internet scale companies), and we are recruiting our first engineers that will help establish the direction for the platform and establish the culture for the company.

What you'll do as a Founding Engineer:

As a Founding Engineer, you will design, implement, and deploy highly distributed, large-scale services. You will translate complex functional and technical requirements into detailed architecture and design. You will be very hands on, and work with others on the engineering team to manage day-to-day development activities, and participate in designs, design reviews, code reviews, and implementation. Our ideal candidate will be passionate about delivering high quality solutions to complex engineering problems, while working within a team.

Required Qualifications:

--BS or MS in Computer Science or a similar field (PhD a -plus)

--Track record of successfully shipping systems or infrastructure software

--Experience with lower level systems programming in C or C++

Bonus Qualifications:

--Previous experience building distributed databases or storage software

--Experience with cloud-based technologies

We are also looking for a PM with 5+ years of experience. If you have experience working in a relevant field and are open to new opportunity, please contact me.

If you're interested in our tech or joining our team, please send your resume to jnguyen@grainite.com (:
It doesn't materially solve anything aside from being an empty victory for people who can't understand the concept that words have context. It's a waste of energy and resources. All it does is cause unnecessary strife.

Air travel isn't an experience for most people. It's a necessary evil to get you from A to B. Most people may as well board a plane and go into some kind of hibernation for however long the flight is, hence why the only thing that matters to them is cost. Save money on the flight so you can spend it at your destination or on something you actually care for.

How can they know these were USA based customers if they used VPNs?
Huobi, OkCoin, Binance and many others do the identical thing (synthetic USD products - they literally copied Bitmex's business model) and have the same or more volume as Bitmex.

I'm guessing nobody is going after them because they have China's protection or what? Or did they go through some special regulatory process inside the US?
The premise of essentially proxying customers into a major carrier in aggregate to preserve privacy is an interesting one.

America, world police.

Some friends started a Wealthfront copycat in latinamerica. To get local financial permits they had to comply with a bunch of KYC policies/rules because the US imposes it on their local banks and governments, and in turn the banks demand compliance from them, even though their company is strictly local.
Part of the problem here though is that there are exactly three meaningfully fully independent web browsers: Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Everything else is beholden to one of those three, nearly all of them Chrome. Making a browser engine is an unbelievably massive undertaking, and every browser that deviates from its upstream has two choices: deviate mostly cosmetically and add new features or remove unsavory features, or deviate substantially and be left thoroughly in the dust by the rapid pace of the living web. Google will make decisions that benefit them as the leading ad provider and data seller, Apple will make decisions that benefit them as a hardware and platform vendor, and Mozilla is left, regardless of their values, as the only browser vendor with decision-making power that isn't using their browser as a means to another business goal.

The real problem is though as always: users don't actually think very much about what browser they use. The vast majority of Google Chrome and Safari users don't use those browsers because of performance or features, they use them because that's the one they know about. Safari comes with your computer and Google pesters you to install Chrome at all times.

My point being: Mozilla does need to figure out a way to get people's attention, and IMO it should involve an expression of the values people associate with them, but it needs to stand to actually draw attention towards them and those values.

What assumptions would you make if you say these three branches in a repo: trunk, master, main. Versus if you just saw trunk and main.
