> Bugs are not critiques.

Not only (technical) bugs are reported, but also design decisions and such. A lot of those things often come down to difference in opinion. I've seen some developers be really adamant about how a bug was actually a feature.

> The openness of issue trackers even helps elevate that.

I agree partly. For me it helped see things different and make a positive growth. But I can image some staying afraid to enter or be deterred really quick never coming back.

>> This follows the "praise in public, punish in private" maxim.

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

I have a email on my Github page. And besides spammers I sometimes get questions regarding my projects. I don't know if it is due to people not understanding Github that well[0] or wanting to contact privately[1]. But for some reason they didn't open a public issue[2].

[0] I've met a lot of technical people that just are afraid of Github because it is complex. Electrical engineers, mechanics, embedded engineers. People I figure would understand software development concepts.

[1] Asking a stupid question publicly could also count toward making a public mistake depending on how secure someone feels about themselves.

[2] There is of course also the discussion if issues should be your projects helpdesk next to being an bug tracker. And raising an 'issue' for something that might just be a question might feel strange for some.

Subversively slipping in the term 'wages' is not arguing in good faith.

Nobody blocked the police out of a neighborhood. They chose to leave, because they could not handle a peaceful protest outside their precinct, and could not restrain themselves from initiating violence.

And because they ran out of gas.

Contrast the SPD's behavior to how the Bellevue police department handled BLM protests. The police chief met with the protest organizers, treated everyone involved with respect, set some ground rules, and did not start a dozen unprovoked attacks on the public.

When all you have is a warrior cop, every problem looks like an insurgency to be put down. The SPD has an incredibly antagonistic attitude towards the public, and is institutionally incapable of de-escalating. It also seems to not actually be subject to any form of democratic oversight - as city council, despite passing many, many resolutions, is unable to reign them in.
Just taken a bit off guard: do you not dispute the other claim?
1060 is budget mid-tier, I don't really see how you could say the 1050ti is anything but low-end when looking at either performance or price
I think you're confusing mass of the payload with something else. Mass of the payload to LEO is just how much mass is brought to LEO. According to "Alternatives for Future U.S. Space-Launch Capabilities" [0], the Saturn V did in fact bring 140 tons to LEO...

It's a great point which however does not detract in any way from mine.
You're not going to like my conspiracy theory:

The "lizard people" are counting on you being apathetic, ignorant, and/or in denial. Even better if you criticize people who bring the "lizard people plans" to light as tin-foil hat conspiracy theorists, shifting credibility away from the critics and back to the "lizard people."

Why would you do that? Bc you likely have a mortgage, kids, and a 401k. Therefore, you have a personal and financial interest in keeping the system going - so far, you're still benefiting from the system...until you're not. That's the point you will be forced to make hard choices.

It could get expensive fast.

Also with paid Workers and no stop loss what happens if someone decide to ddos your app? I searched for this and come away with no clear answers.

Also wondering where will Worker KV fit in? From what I gather Durable Objects are strictly superior if pricing will be comparable.

Yeah trains are a huge part of the fun for me. I usually get mods that make resources more dense the farther away they are.
No, 4K is called 4K because 4K is based on cinematic definitions, while the older resolutions are based on TV definitions.

For TV you count the height, as that's the only thing that matters — you can always add more high-frequency signal to increase the width after all. That's why TV signals for e.g. DVD also use a 480p signal for 4:3 and 16:9, you just stretch the content, no problem on analog TV. (In fact, the "p" doesn't mean pixels, it means the content isn't interlaced (progressive) while 1080i would be interlaced content, with both 540p and 1080i having the same amount of lines per frame)

While for cinema you count the width, e.g. what's more commonly known as 1080p is just 2K in cinema terms, as it's 1920 (or roughly 2048) wide. And that's why 4K is 4K, as cinema content is actually rendered in 4096 pixels width. In cinemas you can always add or remove height (just don't project onto that part of the screen, some cinemas even have screens able to change their height), while the width is fixed (you usually can't make the screen wider). Historically this also held true with film: except for IMAX (70mm portrait), you measure the width of the film e.g. 8mm, 16mm, 35mm, 70mm, as you can always just make the film longer to change the height.

It's true that manufacturers quickly started calling their UHD content 4K for marketing reasons, but 4K doesn't have anything to do with your hypothesis.

Now why was it used as marketing term? When HD and Full HD rolled out for consumers, cinemas started upgrading their projectors as well, offering content in 4K, and advertising it as such. Consumers got used to 4K meaning high resolution high quality. And when consumer devices started reaching a similar quality, obviously the manufacturers used the already established term, instead of the official "UHD" branding.
Yeah I was surprised too but apparently the 2015 renewal of the Patriot Act established some reporting allowances. I guess it makes sense the government doesn’t really care about aggregate reporting like this, it doesn’t really help companies fight individual acts of overreach to say “we received more NSLs than 1000 but less than 1500”.
>By the standards of modern disk and network, couldn't they download revocation caches the way they do with malware?

The whole point is to check if a cert has been revoked. If you have an out of date cache, you'll falsely approve a cert that should be revoked. I'm not defending the system as a whole, but if you care about revoking authentication – which they clearly do – then a cache directly undermines that goal.

A malware hash doesn't get revoked, new ones just get added.
I own a SaaS and 99% of our customers are huge international corporations. They only buy with PO, and every sale is a massive bureaucratic effort. I hired a freelance account manager to deal with incredible requirements like:
- anti money laundering declarations
- mandatory company stamp + hand written signatures
- supplier enrollment forms (excel+macros)
- notary apostilles for incorporation certificates sent across to Russia

Software resellers do this as a job, and I thought they are stupid middlemen nobody loves. Actually they are amazing.
I think this is the wrong hypothesis about why cars are more dangerous right now. I am a much worse driver right now than I was a year ago because it has been a year since I have driven consistently. It's like riding a bike, in that you get worse at it if it's been a while since you've done it.
Depends on how you define “entry level”. The Porsche Cayman is an entry level Porsche, but starts at $60,000.

I don’t know anyone who would call that an entry level car, but any Porsche-phile would.

The new Air is fast and reasonably high resolution with a ~4K resolution screen. But it is Apple’s entry level laptop.
I mean, that's roughly the difference between living in western Europe and living in eastern Europe or the Caribbean.
Indeed, my post was in agreement with you.
There was a thread the other day... about this. I believe mapping ocsp.apple.com to 127.0.0.1 on your hosts file will do the trick.
> There is really no danger of Cargill impacting your life like one of the big tech companies.

Cargill is the second largest producer of beef in the US and among their numerous issues are deaths due to E Coli. Not to mention their rampant chemical dumping.

If you are a US citizen you are more likely to be killed by Cargill than by most of the big tech companies (I said "most" instead of "all" because I think the jury is still out on Amazon).
> OP pointed out that this is contradictory to the usual rhetoric on abortion.

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.

"My body, my choice" doesn't apply in the same fashion when other people's rights are also involved. (And, to head-off the "nuh-uh", pro-choicers tend to fall down on the "no" side of fetal personhood.)
You cannot reasonably turn off all the security warnings and permission requests.
Have you ever done a wide refactor of a type or public method?

It's bliss in TypeScript. Nearly impossible in JS.

To me the value prop of Typescript isn't the initial writing, it's the maintainability. Having good types makes it significantly easier to maintain and refactor.
Non-GAAP numbers are allowed when it helps clarify financial numbers for investors. The SEC will not allow anything to be called non-GAAP if it’s misleading. Saying revenue is $100 and shoving a discount as a marketing expense is fraud and accounting 101. There’s literally no room for interpretation. What Uber does with non-GAAP ebitda numbers has no bearing on this conversation. We are talking about straight up revenue recognition and the example given in the original post is well understood.

In terms of X vs Pool, it depends on the risk that the company takes. If Uber advertises a fixed price for the customer but they pay their drivers a variable cost (time and distance) then there is risk that Uber takes less money than they predicted or even a loss. That is the Principal model and they take the gross. To be extremely clear, this is what they are supposed to do under GAAP. If you look at their 10K which I’m guessing you haven’t, they don’t call the driver payouts a “marketing expense.” They call it “Cost of revenue”.

If they charge a % on the ride and there is no risk of revenues changing, it’s an Agent model and they take the net. I don’t know what the current model is, but I believe in California it’s the Agent model now. Pool used to be Principal a few years ago but again I think things have changed in California. Other countries will have different models so it’s on Uber to make sure their accounting is correct in all jurisdictions.
Maybe you should stop writing bad code though.
There is a very big difference between what the average person in China thinks and what the leaders of China think. A revolution doesn't need a majority to happen, just a single to low double digit percentage to happen. OP was talking about the leader of China, your post is talking about the populace of China.

> Probably because the announced hardware is clearly entry level.

Yes, but why compare it to an entry card that was released 4 years ago instead of an entry card that's been released in the past 12 months? When the 1050 Ti was released, Donald Trump was trailing Hillary Clinton in the polls. Meanwhile, the 1650 (released April 2020, retails ~$150) is significantly faster than the 1050 Ti. (released October 2016, retailed $140 but can't be purchased new anymore)
> There are not "massive uprisings" "every year" in China.

At least in 2012, there were apparently 500 protests _every day_: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/01/ho...

When I was there in 2014 there was a HUGE protest in Changsha. None of these are reported in the media inside or outside China.

I concede that my source on policy-making is dated, but I highly doubt the the functioning of a country as vast and complex as China can be completely transformed in forty years. Still, I'm not sure, so I emailed the author to verify.
It's true many problems end up being solved, but you don't see a problem shipping broken software on which millions depend to work?

They’ve managed to crush Hong Kong. And they are on their way to beating Taiwan at its own strengths.

Even if they are running scared, it looks like they’re running extremely successfully.

Of course, it helps that the only country that could have put pressure on them was led by a moron who though mispronouncing China’s name was the heights of showing them up, while not taking any effective long term actions.
> Userbenchmark.com is terrible and nobody should use it for anything. At least their CPU side of things is hopelessly bought & paid for by Intel (and even within the Intel lineup they give terrible & wrong advice), maybe the GPU side is better but I wouldn't count on it.

To provide some elaboration on this: Their overall CPU score used to be 30% single, 60% quad, 10% multicore. Last year around the launch of zen 2 they gave it an update. Which makes sense; the increasing ability of programs to actually scale beyond four cores means that multicore should get more importance. And so they changed the influence of multicore numbers from 10% to... 2%. Not only was it a blatant and ridiculous move to hurt the scores of AMD chips, you got results like this, an i3 beating an i9 https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/jDJP8prZywSyLPesLtrak4-970...

And there was some suspicious dropping of zen 3 scores a week ago, too, it looks like.
It looks like World of Warcraft at the very least is getting a day-one Apple ARM build, which suggests that porting isn't too bad. It should be a relatively easy transition for any game that already ran on macOS or iOS.
> most advanced operating system

Sounds like someone is regurgitating Apple's marketing speech.

How do you define "Most advanced"? because, for me, an OS that you can't use to run apps because Apple's servers were down is anything but advanced to me.
The word 'privatization' was coined to describe Nazi Germany's economic policy[1], and Germany went from a country with serious inflation, to seeing high returns on investment[2]. Violent states often makes friends with business owners.

The youtube-dl fiasco has given a bunch of lawyers the precedent (or perhaps idea) they needed to fight open source software. It’s a shame.
> or maybe the fact religion has been the main drivers for a whole bunch of wars?

More likely that they consider religion a powerful fictional structure competing with their own fictional structure. No natural law dictates that either of them should dominate, so they chose to suppress the competition.

Only in the Papal States. Most of the rest of Europe had Dukes and Kings and such, which may have had some friction with Bishops and the Pope.
I agree and switching environments will hinder my productivity to an extend but watching the direction Apple is taking, makes me evaluating a switch to Linux in the next 2-3 years. Mind you, my family owns 5+ macs and another 7 Apple devices... If I switch they are all going to follow.
That sounds constitutionally suspicious. Think it will stand up in court?
Or perhaps the most reckless drivers are going to be the ones still driving normally because they're not going to listen to the government.
> There are “high-risk” people in care homes who want to visit their relatives for the holidays. To call these people selfish is way off the mark.

Why isn't this selfish? They put not only themselves, but also their families at risk.

Perhaps you'll say they're being "foolish" instead of "selfish" - perhaps they have been mislead to ignore or disbelieve the truth of how potent the virus is, or how miserable a way to die it is. But their own selfishness and their own self-interest can only make it easier for them to believe the lies or misinformation that would cause them to make such an error.

Oh if the question was just blocking the OCSP, then yes, /etc/hosts or null route will do that. That isn't the only data leakage (tracking) that comes out of a mac however.

sudo route add -net 17.253.17.0 255.255.255.0 -blackhole

also works for the OCSP. You will still get some delay in opening applications. I would like to see apple do OCSP stapling and caching in the OS like reverse proxies already do, but that would defeat the tracking I guess.
There is a difference between freedom of speech as a cultural concept, and as a legal concept. When most people say "freedom of speech", I doubt they mean it in a specific, literal legal sense, but rather as a vague idea, a general principle. That idea may include corporations being allowed to fire people based on their political views. But when it becomes standard behaviour for people not to mention their political views publicly due to fear of losing their jobs, I doubt that is the kind of society that will have freedom of speech in culture or in working legal sense much longer. Nor do I think that people have such a society in mind when they imagine a "free society".

I don't know. Years ago, I was on an email list and I did a lot of sincere public apologizing, in part because the internet was younger, so we didn't have a lot of stuff worked out. We were just stumbling our way forward as best we could.

And the end result was that I became everyone's bitch. People would intentionally pick on me and be ugly to me and when it went sideways, the group as a whole would go "There she goes again!" and blame the whole thing on me and expect me to apologize and kiss everyone's ass.

I am much less free with public apologies than I used to be, though I am still equally willing to own my actions (a la "I did x. That didn't turn out well.")

There are some people in the world just looking for someone to blame and if they get it stuck in their warped tiny little minds for some reason that you are a good person to blame, good luck escaping their shit. Such people are a case of "The only winning move is not to play." and, unfortunately, you tend to find that out after the fact because they have burned you and will not stop burning you, no matter how above-board, high-minded blah blah blah you handle the situation.

Some people are just hell-bent on proving "No one is actually that good" because they have baggage, so trying to do the right thing consistently just makes you a target of their shit and they really need therapy, but aren't getting it.

Such people seem to be rather poor at letting things go and my impression is some of them will cyberstalk you for years after you try to leave whatever situation originally put you in contact with them.

The fastest growing community of Christians on the planet was in China for the last 20 years or so. China is large, so it's hard to argue how that equates to prevalence.

But in the next five years, the number of Chinese Christians is projected to grow to half the population of the entire United States—150 million. That may only be 15% of the population, but that's still significant.
My Xiaomi laptop is entry level and costed 300 euros including shipping from China and taxes

It still does 8 hours on battery after 3 years

For 13 hundred dollars (30% more in Euros) I can buy a pro machine, one that at least will give me the option of using more than 16GB of RAM

So... Not only were the guards "sleeping" the day the Epstein was murdered, only a few cameras were working, and when it was time to bring the evidence to court the tapes were mysteriously "corrupted" to the point where the judge couldn't view them. Also on the Chans a guard who worked at the facility posted how they came and killed Epstein and didn't log a military vehicle who came to their post.

Now, if you have the balls to call any of this a "conspiracy" or that the US government isn't as corrupt as a run of the mill crack-pot tyrant, come have a word with me. The audacity. Acosta told them Epstein couldn't be touched because he's "intelligence". Fucking corrupt to the core.

Every day, I ask my self "are the laws that impact me negatively even worth following?" I think I've found my answer.
