> The players are traded freely among teams
Yes, this happens more often than in the past, but there are still many players and staff that stay with an organization for an extended period of time (e.g. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick).

> all teams are owned by the same business
What do you mean? Each team has a different owner.

> So for example the San Francisco 49ers have very little to do with San Francisco, except for the name'
In many geographical regions, you grow up watching the team that is closest in proximity. e.g. I grew up in rural western New York State and I grew up watching the Buffalo Bills because they were the closest franchise despite being 100 miles away.

The name is just a semantic. Would you be happier if the 49ers were called the "Northern California 49ers"?
That's risking rupturing your ear drum.
In software co's, profit sharing is split between equity vs commission, where equity for hard-to-attribute & motivate stuff and commission for easy-to-attribute-and-motivate stuff. Doing profit sharing incentives for devs risks getting weird quickly.

-- It's hard to measure contributions of a dev in a team of 5-10 (how much was them, another dev, the PM, the designer?) while pretty clear for say a sales + sales eng pair.

-- Likewise, there's a danger of confusing incentivizes of having a dev make commission-based decisions, esp. when counter to what a PM needs to incentivize. in a sense, part of the PM's job is to prevent sales/marketing/management from confusing the rest of the org!

For product orgs, some companies do incentives and promotions based on profit/loss measurables ("1% datacenter power savings => $10M/yr savings => ..."), I think team-based w/ some sort of hierarchy. Alternatively, Cisco weird spin-in system worked well... for those liked by the involved leads.

When _not_ a product org and a more direct line to $, like a sales eng supporting sales, or a dev supporting a quant, easier to go commission/profit-sharing based..
I have 15 years of my personal budget in a double-entry system; is the import API sufficient that I could import that data?
Misses the point. The marketing copy there is to bamboozle the uninformed into opening their wallets. If you are better informed, you already know that AWS plagiars pretty much all it's services from open-source. A smaller player catering to a tech audience might add open source to its bullet points as some sort of virtue signalling, but that's no benefit to the established megalith that is AWS.
Stefan Rudnicki is fantastic! Dufris less so, but still very good.

There's a series by Ken Scholes that uses both of them (along with others, it's a full cast!) and it's amazing: https://www.audible.com/pd/Lamentation-Audiobook/B002V0RHPI
Its a scam?
The inside is near room temperature most of the year, but not when it gets down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit (or about -30 Celsius) regularly here. Some amount of ice seems to form on the bottom of the bedroom window any time that the temperature is below around 0 deg F outside.

I did a little research and this seems common in the Upper Midwest climate. R3-rated double-paned windows (which is what I have, I'm pretty sure) can still get pretty cold on the inside when the outside temperature is sub-zero. My heavy blackout shade usage probably further decreases the temperature at the window, since there's no warm airflow across the glass.
Agreed. It’s fine if it’s just a game to get someone interested in the idea of playing the piano but you need to switch to proper instruction soon especially if the person starts playing regularly, as incorrect posture and hand position can cause injury with enough practice. Even if it doesn’t come to that, undoing learned bad muscle memory takes a lot of time and effort.
I was going to say the Tour de France is the prime example of sports most people who are not road cyclists find intolerable to watch. Maybe its just hard to grasp how powerful the aerodynamic forces are without having ridden in a high speed pace line, but lots of people watch car racing without driving 200 mph either.

I've always seen it as a trade-off based on what I'm using Vim a lot for. When I'm using Vim remotely on a hundred different systems I admin, then having a good grasp of of being comfortable using the defaults is extremely useful, and it feels painful to try to use something that's not enabled by default that is my preference. When I'm doing developing something more complex, I definitely appreciate more customization.

Vim (or at least some vi derivative) is semi-unique among many of the more complex tools we use in that it exists by default on just about every Unix host you connect to, so it has sort of a dual life in that respect. It's many people's go-to tool for local development, but it's also the default tool you can rely on for text editing remotely. Those use cases have somewhat separate pressures they place on how people use it.
I’ve abandoned Jira (cloud) at work so long as my manager continues to not care. It’s just painful. Brutally painful. Like 20MB download per use and everything takes forever to populate and there’s lag in everything I do.

Atlassian feels like a bunch of individually purchased products that they then just jam together with integrations that never quite work the way they should.

I wish my company would abandon it.
> But it isn't nice when someone complains they're not getting a thank you for something they choose to do willingly and weren't asked to do.

If you benefit from something someone else does, you owe them a debt of gratitude. It's not a legal debt, and it's not denominated in dollars and cents... but you shouldn't be surprised that there are norms of repaying this debt in various ways and that people/entities that excessively "take" from the commons incur reputational damage.

> I just wanted to say that in general, yes those social norms are often against what I'd consider a free society, since they are just another axis of power to force you into behaviors you might not have agreed to participate in.

This just feels like hyperbole to me. Expecting acknowledgment from someone when they've benefitted from something you've done is not an unreasonable ask. Getting shamed when you don't do this isn't a significant curtailment of liberty.
I've heard of that requirement before (of course the artifical limiting of the numbers of doctors able to start practicing every year is somewhat a similar type of practice,) but I'd be curious to see what the original rationale for the Certificate of Need program was.

GitLab pretty much covers BitBucket (code), most of Bamboo (GitLab CI), maybe Jira if you use it only as a basic issue manager (forget about Agile stuff).

Confluence is probably the hardest one. You could use any wiki software but the new "live-editing" stuff (Google Docs style) is pretty good for productivity. Hard to find an on-prem equivalent. Confluence's integration with Jira is hard to compare too.
First time I've heard about it, but I'm glad it exists. Although I feel like designers who are aware of it, probably know better than to cram as much animation into their sites as possible.
I understand this sentiment as someone that never understood the allure of watching racing in general. However, I have recently been watching F1 with my father-in-law who is a huge F1 fan due to his own car and racing experience.

At first, it is just cars trying to be faster than the other which can be quite boring for 305km. But, when my father-in-law starts talking about the different strategies and choices being made, it puts a lot more color to what is happening. For instance, which tires to use (they have different types), when to do pit stops, how hard to push during different segments of the race, when to overtake, etc. Also, throw in some driver/team drama in the mix and you have some interesting meta game going on.

Similarly in basketball, it is just a bunch of people running up and down the court trying to get the ball in the hoop more than the other team. Kind of boring. However, the strategies, plays and player personalities/drama that get you to the end result make it more interesting. When to full court press, when should a foul be made, when to rotate players, etc.

It gets much more interesting once the rules/strategies are clear. In F1, I think it takes a little longer to get to that point because sometimes the action can be spread out over a longer period. It is interesting to see what choices are being made in different situations.

> I am literally questioning: should they survive?

I say yes. Those forums of yesteryear were really good examples of where the internet can shine. The evolution of spammers made self-hosting prohibitively difficult, and the big fish grew fast and swallowed the market. It's a shame, and that's a reason that I'm generally in favor of breaking up the biggest players (though, I haven't seen a specific proposal that I'm in favor of)

> > Would the open source software community survive?

> I'm not sure how Section 230 applies to code but I don't think public forums like...

You seemed to miss the thrust of my comment about github. Github isn't just a repository of code, it's also a public forum! The ability to file and discuss bugs out in the open is a feature that would be sorely missed -- I've gotten two bug reports this week from previously-unknown users. That wasn't common back in the mailing list days, and I'm really happy that the bar to bug reporting is lower.
This is surprising; I would have expected a big press release for this sort of thing. Did the page go up early or something?
I hear this a lot but is it really a thing? It’s so normal to have gap years now and I feel the vast majority of employers would be understanding. I certainly wouldn’t find it strange that an applicant had gaps in their CV.
My journey started when someone just dropped their .vimrc and I tried it out... So I'll do the same: https://tinyurl.com/y4d7rx6f

Typically I clone that into my home directory. Then I link everything to it with:

ln -s ~/vim/.vimrc ~/.vimrc && ln -s ~/vim ~/.vim

The .vimrc is kind of documented, but a quick version is:

tt: select a file name to open into a new buffer

fr and fR: go forward or backward through buffers (open files)

fd: close buffer

f2: if the needed commands are installed, reformat code

There's a few other remappings, but those are the most frequent ones I use, hence making it easier.

<tab> completion works everywhere as well. There's a bunch of other stuff for navigating windows and tabs, but once I realized that "buffers" are actually the "vim way" of file navigation, I stopped using those short cuts.

Edit: Yes I realize this is probably what the article is complaining about, but oh well.
I use these [0] and they're pretty high quality, very reasonable price, very long battery life, and low-profile enough that you can even lay on your side and it doesn't feel uncomfortable (for me at least) though I still only use it in one ear at a time, the one not on my pillow.

A lot of this seems to boil down to whether or not you're willing to "upset" your users. Yes, sometimes they do dumb shit. That doesn't mean you hang up on them, but "you're out of support and need to update. Call us back when you've updated" is a completely reasonable response, even if the update isn't free. "Your environment is below our minimum specs, you have to increase the hardware on that VM. Call us back when you've updated" is reasonable as well.

I get that telling customers this kind of thing is hard, but sometimes it just has to be done.
Because then everybody will jump at you and shout "OMG you don't allow for repackaging, don't ever dare to imply that your code is Open Source with all the permissions and liberties that your free labor should grant, so we don't have interest in your shitty proprietary stuff and will never check it out".

How would that work? How would you know the new owners are bad until after they’ve pushed an evil update?

It's 2020, I feel like this is some sort of fresh hell that I managed to somehow miss.
If your .vimrc is minimal, you will have a pretty good time using systems that implement "vim like" text editing. Take Overleaf for example, no vimrc is available, but I'm quite happy with what I got, and sometimes I even forget I'm in the browser.
How do I sign up to be an auditing firm?
For the rps (requests per second) it doesn't seem to be exponential in their graph (as the line indicates), but actually more linear [1]. That's interesting because it suggests that most attacks are increasingly network based rather than application based.

I guess we're now at the point where we can just spin up more machines to absorb attacks and use various forms of caching, but it's not really possible to do the same for networking.

Not parent poster, but I can take a shot at this.

WRT the 2006 financial crisis, there were about 10-20 regulatory agencies that had the power/responsibility to maintain stability. Each of them failed, but none were held to account; they each just made some excuses, and demanded more power and money.

Every time there's a crisis, the relevant regulator is exonerated of any responsibility, so their incentives are even weaker than those of the executives getting bailed out.
> Every time I come across a thread - on any forum - where people are educating others that something is a social norm, it is because it is not. They merely want it to be.

Saying "thank you" and giving credit to someone who did you a solid is pretty universally a norm.

> If you have a good number of people disagreeing on it, take it as a humble suggestion that norms differ across geos, industries, culture, etc.

Or, there's just the fraction of people who disregard and push back on norms.

> We don't find a need to credit Claude Shannon, John Von Neumann, Tony Hoare, etc in all our products. I find this to be OK.

It's a bit different here, in that the people you cite are titans who developed ideas that might be a portion of a work... which is a bit different from using the work wholesale. I don't think anyone would expect Amazon to thank/cite/acknowledge something they used that comprised 1% of a product... but when it reaches a very high proportion it's time to mention it.

Further, these were academics. We do have a norm of citing them when we're deeply using and building upon their work academically.

As a child in the ancient days of the early 2000s, I would often setup botmatches consisting of 16 'players' in Quake 3 and spectate the resultant carnage. I wouldn't venture to say it was educational or intellectual in any sense, but it was still pretty fascinating - even as a ten year old - to observe what was essentially a bunch of fake people run around on my little P3. IIRC there were user made characters that had custom bot files with distinct 'personalities', so you could throw together different combinations of bots in different maps and come away with some very different encounters.
Poorly, because hindsight is hard, I just would skip the steps related to hiding my biases behind overly precise numbers.
This describes exactly my viewpoint of religion. I grew up with a Christian background but at young age (I remember questioning it at the age of 5-6) decided I wouldn't devote my life to it. Nowadays, I recognize many of the lessons shared/taught through these stories, and I wonder if my children are going to be better off with or without them. At the very least, they'll still get similar lessons from Disney.
So, to use the same CatTalk example from before: if you're running a site dedicated to cats, and you want to disallow user posts about dogs (or cars or pornography or...), you want that site to have to carefully prescreen every comment for legal compliance and operate under a substantially increased risk of lawsuit?

It's insane that they had to that rather than giving their On-Prem version the ability to scale the way you need a SaaS service to scale. Turning your SaaS Ops team into an On-Prem customer is a great way to dog-food your product.
Wikipedia has Russia at 346 people incarcerated per 100,000 and the US at 655. El Salvador is at 590.

So, highest in the world but not anywhere nearly double the second highest, and not an order of magnitude greater than Russia.
I would look into FreeGeek. They take donated computers and strip them for a good parts and build good computers out of them. If you need a computer, you can volunteer with them and they'll teach you how to build computers. After a certain number of hours you earn a computer. And now you know the basic of swapping out the various parts.

I haven't been involved in a while, so I'm not sure what the process is for laptops, but I know they reuse those as well.

I also find that vim defaults are very lackluster, I could spend all day listing its faults:

- hjkl is not a reasonable default mapping for motion, for one it doesn't make it obvious that j is down and l is up since the keys are next to one another (which makes it a lot harder to memorise in the first place) but on top of that it wastes two very premium home row keys, h and l, for something that you really shouldn't end up using a whole lot (b, w, f, t, e and friends are usually much more efficient for moving on the current line).

- To make matters worse, the one key that's easiest to access on any keyboard, the space bar, is... just doing the same thing as l, it moves right. So now you have two of the best keys on the keyboard mapped redundantly to a relatively little used function.

- What about the enter/return key? It does the same thing as j, it moves down. Brilliant.

Those are just minor nitpicks of course, but I have a laundry list of those if anybody cares to hear them. It's littered with small inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies that stem from historical baggage and not actually trying to design an ergonomic editor.

That being said I don't get where you're coming from with VScode. Do you consider the editor part of VSCode to be better than Vim, or are you talking about Vim failing as an IDE?

It's important not to mix things up, VSCode is an IDE, Vim isn't. If you wanted an IDE and tried to get Vim to do that by adding 3MB of vimscript from various sources to make it work I can't blame you for giving up, it's probably going to end up being a mess.

'off the grid' literally means that you are not connected to public utilities. with solar and as long as we have high speed internet, going 'off grid' is neither challenging nor unpleasant. it can also be a self sustaining lifestyle with a 'smart' home.

its power. thats how they get you. when you sign up for public utilities, then you are taxed, tagged and stalked.. and suddenly you are sucked into big govt. and you become invisible.

i absolutely loathe this kidnapping of our lives. the way they do it is with electricity. create independent power and water rights, the govt literally has no hold over you. think about it. we have the tech to be 'off grid'...all of us. and yet, why arent we?

the govt steals our lives. and then taxes us for that theft. worse than pirates.
I like there to be a little acting. I've had books where the delivery was fairly monotone, with no difference in delivery between scene description and a character speaking in anger or surprise etc. It sounds weird, wooden & stiff.

No. If you have enough inter satellite links, it is almost always better to use those unless there is congestion. It's simple math.

You misread my other response. The reason I believe SpaceX will not offer 1G plans, except at a ridiculously high price, is because it's not profitable. GEO satellites could do it now if they wanted to, and their cost per bit is far lower than SpaceX.

Nobody has ever said physics is limiting this. Just because they were able to land a rocket doesn't magically make an entirely separate section of the company capable of doing things that haven't been done before. And the technical parts aren't even the biggest argument. The biggest argument is still that if they do not get government money, it is not financially feasible.

And I don't know what you are talking about with being co-located next to "exchanges", since that is extremely vague. The known POPs they are using thus far are not major ones. And because The satellites are so close to the Earth, they need many, many gateways in rural areas to keep the bandwidth high.
It’s found on an matter really. People just get bored, obsessive and eventually "fatigued". No editor makes a boring job better, but some make it worse.

> Let me guess, you don't speak anything but English? The thing is that English isn't actually that diverse. Certainly not considering how widely it is used and by how many people.

I agree with your point in general that English as is spoken in international media isn't all that diverse, but if you look at the British Isles where the language has traditionally evolved for centuries you'll find a picture that more closely resembles other long-lived non-international (? national?) languages with rich dialectical variation.
Another alternative model besides linear would be quadratic (or another X^(1+epsilon) polynomial where epsilon is small). This would avoid the problem of negative data and likely fit the data better than an exponential.
