lol wtf, most people are talking about founders pitching for investment.

If they have standard term sheets from GC or Softbank, likely the founder will go with GC

No one is talking about GC's investors....
This is precisely why instead of forcing people to work under dangerous conditions we should be paying people to stay home and accepting slow-downs in production.
It feels like lock-in to me. It keeps getting more difficult to develop for Mac, which I think will kill the free software scene for it.

Honestly, it's almost like Windows programming in the late '90s. You had only one real option, Visual C++, and you either paid out the ear for it or pirated it. That restrictive approach doesn't work, and Microsoft learned that. You can't make developers pay to make your platform worthwhile.

Rudimentary dev tools like xcode are not added value worth $100/yr and 30% of your profit. Other platforms provide better tools and more flexibility for free. People will wise up eventually, and I think that's already happening.

Sorry for getting off-topic. I used to be a fan of OS X, but I'm really disappointed in the direction they took things.
"I'm pointing out that it's not, just like drunk driving and moving your finger when it happens to be connected to a gun aren't "pro-choice" moments."

It's nothing like either of those, let alone "just like" them.

Catching a virus is not, in any way, like pulling the trigger on gun or choosing to drink and drive. The former happens to you. The latter two require personal agency.
Elon has already said that Falcon 9 is the largest and most expensive part of Starlink, for Starlink to be fully successful it needs Starship.

Falcon 9 is limited by Falcon 9 second stage product.

It actually makes a lot of sense, if that performance gets you a cheaper vehicle.

Starlink, the NASA Moon program, commercial sat buissness, SpaceX Mars Plans, SpaceX Space tourism and so on. A cheaper vehicle always has more usage.

> Amazon correctly identified the opportunity but failed in the execution

Everyone failed in execution because nobody has done it profitably yet. Maybe the opportunity doesn't actually exist?
I've noticed that contemporary tech people (or at least the richer ones) have a cultural tick that leads them to deny or minimize the importance of real problems that don't involve shiny new technology. By way of examples:

Microsoft destroying YouTube-DL: Problem.

Amazon exploiting its non-tech workforce: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bitcoin's energy use: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Macs not running third party code: Problem.

Nuclear war: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Global climate change: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Future risk of AI paperclip maximizers: Problem.

Current danger of businesses operating as human-powered paperclip mazimixers: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Etc.
I agree. I have autoformatting turned on for everything and I just don't care what my code looks like because it’s consistent and I can get used to it.

I used to spend time configuring formatting settings to be exactly right, but nowadays I’m moving towards defaults.

My only problem with gofmt is that since Go standardized on tabs, I’ve encountered problems with noisy commits because people rewrap comments, and the comments will wrap differently depending on the individual’s tab width setting.
I never take this stuff seriously, but then I never really worked, or ever had the desire to work, on anything this proprietary, or in a company this bureaucratic. When my first employer was acquired by a giant corporation and I started seeing it transform into this monstrosity, I quit.

If you compare this subthread to the much higher-quality—because more specific, and specifically about this story—comments elsewhere in the thread, you'll get a sense of why we have this rule.
So is it CA or CP? No, just C.
You can still be exposed to mild stuff everywhere. YMMV. I choose shopping and school pickup because they're the places of biggest concentration of random sick people in my experience. I have regular contact with medical clinics and GPs so will get mild exposure either way.

Also, as others mentioned - flu shots.
At least they got away from the alphabet soup nonsense. Nobody wants to try to remember what WQHD or WQSXGA mean. I also hope that they eventually come back around to just listing the two dimensions again.
If the argument is "authoritarianism is bad for big private businesses" then sure (although even that is debatable considering how much protectionism can help local industries at the expense of multinational ones), but looking at China's economic growth over the last few decades and how many people it has lifted out of poverty, I can't see how you can call it a failed economic system.
ProseMirror is more of a framework for building text editor libraries; Slate and Draft are drop-in, easier-to-integrate text editors.

In addition, ProseMirror is built with JavaScript, and would require writing custom code to adapt to Vue or React.
Slate and Draft are both built with React, which has it pros and cons. For example, using React means on each key press it’s going to run it’s whole virtual dom diff algorithm resulting in a higher input latency [1]. ProseMirror is more performant in this case by not using React and managing its own editor state. But Slate and Draft, by using React, gets easy server side rendering.

If I were to build a clone of Typora or Bear, I’d use Slate because 1. those editors are close to what Discord has as its chat editor and Discord uses Slate 2. Slate has better markdown support out of the box.

However if I were to build a Notion clone more focused on WYSIWYG, then I’d go with ProseMirror.

I wouldn’t go with Draft in any scenario since the community seems smaller and the library is less maintained, although twitter uses it.

> To preface, we're talking about people with jackasses-tendencies here. Normal, well-adjusted people don't like to make their colleagues feel bad.

Exactly this, and one of the things I eventually realised is you have to simply ignore the jackasses.

Realising that face to face these people are most likely not terribly formidable is certainly helpful but the main thing is to learn not to give a s### what they think regardless. This isn't to say you should ignore everyone, or become proud, but that you should recognise peoples' behaviour for what it is and respond appropriately, which might include ignoring it entirely.

> My gut says bullies key to subconscious signs of weakness, and the former is interpreted as such.

Without wanting to get too Homelander about it and, of course, I never would, but after a number of years of strength training it's always nice to know that if push came to shove you could probably snap the bullies in half with your bare hands. More seriously, being in physically good shape is highly underrated: it fundamentally changes who you are, and will change the way you think about difficult or challenging situations, making you more confident and capable of dealing with them. I can't really explain why this happens, but it certainly does - at least in my experience (one data point, I will grant you).
For some reason that style of beard is even less accepted in Germany than elsewhere. And anyway, my beard is a bit bigger than just a Nazi stache.
It does sound like the kind of tour creation I was lacking. If you can download your tours in KML, you could walk them in real life with OpenDocent.

(I also implemented support for an ESRI ArcGIS format that did a similar thing. I found that ESRI has a similar "here's a guided tour" feature, but only because I happened to notice that my city offered it as a walking tour of historical markers.)

Fusing the Wikipedia and OSM data is very clever. I picked Google Maps as the map provider, for no especially good reason. My next quarantine project used OSM, and it would be easy to adapt.
I convinced an accountant I know to get the 2020 version (wider 0 key) and they love it.

Personally, I refuse to use anything other than a ThinkPad if I can help it because:

oil refining is much simpler now. it's easy enough to figure out through trial and error.

for me the only time when I'm always checking the docs is when I'm trying to supply enough water to a nuclear plant. the pressure loss over distance for a pipe almost never matters, but it really does for a nuclear plant. if you don't have a very short run of pipes or lots of pumps along the way, you will never achieve the full potential of your nuclear plant. this can be quite disastrous if you make assumptions about how much power the plant will make. I wish they would add something to the UI to make it a bit more clear when pipe runs are too long.
It is, for trainworlds.
> "Cargill is the United States’ largest privately held company"

I wonder, should large companies be required to go public once they grow beyond a certain size? Does private ownership reduce transparency and accountability? Are privately held companies more likely to be secretive "evil corps" like Koch and Cargill?

This makes reviewing pings much easier. Great job.
SPM depends on LPM, but LPM doesn't depend on SPM if you just throw away the white science. So SPM is a more holistic measurement.
Flu immunity doesn't mean all that much because flu viruses mutate so quickly. That's why the flu shot has to be given every year: it protects against different strains, whatever is predicted to be predominant that year.

Natural immunity is much more effective for viruses that don't change much: measles, polio, chickenpox, coxsackievirus (hand-foot-mouth), even common-cold coronaviruses.
There are different degrees of public reaction. One thing is to admit a mistake in a public mailing list for an open source project or even in a blog post that were front page of this very forum. It's still a public/external reaction. However, it's a lot different than when you are a public figure and a mistake you made is the cover page of major newspapers. I think that, in those sort of situations, a more tactical approach may be desired, rather than a personal one.
Eventually, we should be able to do that. But, that would get into a long approval process right now.
For many of the reasons already listed. They're a giant, private, agricultural company that's almost entirely in parts of the supply chain that consumers don't see (B2B), but almost certainly impacts most Americans (and many other parts of the world) every single day.

They're also very low margin, and if you aren't working in farming areas, has a corporate headquarters in a place not too much tech happens in. There's almost no reason for it to ever show up here.

However, if you were awake today and ate food, you probably encountered something Cargill had something to do with.

They also purposely try to keep a relatively low profile.

One of their very first consumer facing products was Truvia, which didn't come out until 2008, for a company founded in the 19th century.

I wonder how Cruise Automation is affected by having their self-driving tech running on the Bolt platform.
There's a pretty simple solution to the power problem:

You can measure the flow of steam in the system by dropping two tanks in series in the pipe and finding their difference in level--the difference is proportional to the amount of steam being consumed. After some experimentation in creative mode, I found the difference level that corresponds to the need to enable another reactor. Then I set up the inserters to each plant to only take in new fuel cells when the steam draw exceeds the relevant threshold.

This does have some waste in that it doesn't count for hysteresis, and it doesn't try to prevent the reactors from filling up, but at the level of megabase I had, that level of waste wasn't an issue for me.
> I've seen some developers be really adamant about how a bug was actually a feature.

And sometimes they are feature, and it's the users that are mistaken on what the project they are using is offering them. It's a fine line, I'm sure, but different projects have different goals, and those goals will align to a specific user's needs differently depending on the user.

> So like the previous poster said. I am wondering if Github et al. should not contain a private channel.

It might depend quite a bit on the project. In an open source project with many contributors, there isn't really any meaning to "private" other than "limited to a subgroup of the people that care", and those people may have little to nothing with the design and implementation of the items in question. In a project that is mostly driven by one author that controls it and accepts some patches, that might be a lot different, and criticism may be received differently.

There's a whole spectrum there, and even if you provide the tools to allow different types of contact, what's to prevent people from using the wrong tool most the time? Rust, PHP, Perl, Bind, Apache etc aren't going to benefit much for a private list for first contact of regular bugs, but people would use it. Meanwhile someone's random personal project is still going to get people making public requests even if they prefer them private. In the end, I think we're all better served by a "public by default" for open source stuff, and for things people feel is actually private (security related items, for example), they'll look up a private contact or personal contact for someone related.
The SEC steps in typically when they're certain of a ruling in their favour and when it is politically expedient to do so.

In order for regulators to proactively prevent all misbehaviour such organisations would need to be impractical huge and financially inconvenient to tax payers.

Rather, society generally tolerates some level of fraud / crime / misbehaviour, probably because the benefits out weigh the costs to liberty.
How about start holding our elected officials accountable? I mean as much as I felt disgusted by the things I read, I am more disgusted by the fact that the company just gets away with these things. I mean they paid $25 million for price fixing because it was unfair to other big corporations or $250 million for tax avoidance, but almost nothing for every time they dumped toxic waste into the water because it's the public that gets affected? I'm sorry but we need to make the elected officials work for us, not corporations.
9 cases over a 20 year period. They actually had a death which is more than I expected.
> You are just appealing to the common framework of morality that asserts that humans have rights and animals do not. This is not the only framework.

Right, but it's the one we meat eaters believe in. You're asking people to substitute your preferred moral framework for theirs. This is the same thing as asking people to forego the right to abortion just because your religion, which they don't share, says it's murder.
c'mon, we live in an era where people get Grammys for albums that they could record entirely in their bedroom. Just 15 years ago you had to book professionnal studio time with an engineer at a ~1000€/day for the good ones around where I lived.
Not starting with "I am sorry" looks like a good advice - framing matters. Start with description of what happened and how it went sideways, end up with regretting the harm caused - by the time you get there, you'll be perceived as a person who understands the situation and its implications, and is in control of it, and thus will be more inclined to accept the apology and move on.
I enjoy my 34" 3440 x 1440, but I think that a 32" (or slightly larger) 4K might ultimately be the better choice while still fitting in my field of view.

The point of a computer as a workstation is it goes vroom. Computer that does not go vroom will not be effective for use cases where computer has to go vroom. It doesn't matter if battery life is longer or case is thinner. That won't decrease compile times or improve render performance.
This is exactly why sensible companies have discretionary budgets at every level, ideally including individual employees. Below a certain threshold, it costs more to review than to just trust that people are asking for a reason; as long as there are controls and records in place to catch potential abuse or mistakes (e.g. paying for the same thing multiple times), approval requirements should be proportional to amount. On the off chance someone is being frivolous, it's still not worth imposing painful review processes on everyone.

An individual employee at a technical company should be able to spend $100-200/year with discretion (mouse, keyboard, utility program, cheap service, etc). (That's not counting whatever the company might allocate for people to get their own development systems, which some companies do.) A first-line manager should be able to approve more than that (e.g. a monitor, a more substantive service).
Is there a lot of evidence that Cargill has particularly poor conditions? I ask because meatpacking necessarily creates optimal conditions for spread of droplet or airborne viruses. It has to be cold, to prevent spoilage, air circulation must be limited to reduce refrigeration energy consumption, and it has to be a relatively confined space to reduce convection and radiated energy.

The meat-packing plants were well-designed given their constraints, but this coronavirus was unanticipated, and creating production facilities with more protections against this will take a lot of time and money. These new facilities would also use much more energy (roughly proportional to the increase in area required), so you have to ask whether those costs would be worth incurring to help with the next (hypothetical) outbreak. It's too late to build new facilities for this one.
That happened under an purposeful period of liberalization. Xi Jinping has been pretty clearly walking that back. Moving towards a more authoritarian direction isn't going to cause the Chinese market to fail overnight, but here we have a pretty clear example of how it is impeding growth.
We definitely don't want a slow down in food production.

Statistically, I'm betting on big tech since they have caused me more pain. Now, a couple restaurant chains, I might have a different answer.

The central weakness of closed, authoritarian regimes is poor signaling.

Kruszev and Deng wouldn't have been able to seize power without substantial supporter.

The way I see it, the failure of those in power (from their perspective) was of not recognizing that well of support as it built.

Or, put another way, this is why authoritarian regimes are always paranoid: they have no objective methods for gauging public / party / military support, as dissent is always private.

Important to distinguish between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, one of which is genetic and the other isn't.
I didn't get the big push for flu shots this year. Between social distancing and masks, it's obviously going to spread a lot less, there some risk to going to a clinic to get the shot, and we normally use data from the southern hemisphere to predict which strains will be dominant this season, but with significantly reduced travel and social restrictions in the southern hemisphere, the data's going to be bad, so this year's flu shot won't be as effective.
There are situations where it doesn't work to just ignore the jackasses. Though, yes, these people are jackasses and I tend to be going "Can you get therapy already and leave me the hell alone?" (or "Can you drop dead already, you asshole." if it goes on long enough/gets bad enough).
The good news is nuclear fuel isn't expensive, so any complications are only needed if you just personally want to have fun with designing and debugging them, which is of course fine.
The fact that the hyperloop is not a train is by far its most important feature.

We have reasonable cost estimates for trains, with a new unproven technology, you can make any cost estimates you want.

But its all a shell game, the hyperloop has every constraint a train does (and more!), and will inevitably, at the very least be exactly as expensive.

This is an old game, I'm sure everyone remembers The Simpson's monorail episode.

LaTeX and its TeX cousins are the worst document typesetting options except for all the others.

What's fascinating is that this situation has existed for decades. Alternatives have risen and [mostly] fallen, but LaTeX persists. For that reason an alternative would not only have to be better, but significantly better, for me to question someone's choice of LaTeX.
