Looks nice, thanks for sharing. For the part to execute the run-script I'm currently going with a github-action itself:

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/run-travis-yml

it's based on the original travis-build so that utils like "travis_retry" are still available.

each command in the asserted stages (e.g. before_install, install) directly breaks the build while the script runs through and gives the fail exit at the end (while showing the commands run and their result as on travis, asserted stages are with folding).

might be a good addition to the online converter.

the other parts of the workflow (vm setup, caches, services, matrix etc.) I find hard to port automatically. this needs much more insight and often is specific to the languages. and then it's "relatively easy".

but an automatic mapping from the many languages travis supported looks overwhelming.

perhaps better is to actually have the whole travis-build project as a github action (but I'm not fluent with ruby).

Just some thoughts.

TCI wasn't a startup.
So it can't be compared to 2020 startups in this way.
Because...you are starting the comparison at a different point in the companies life.

This is comparing markets almost 50 years apart.
Motives and reasoning just aren't what they used to be.

TCI had assets to borrow against.
TCI had a monopoly in their areas, and existing customer base.
They gamed the tax system for profit.
They weren't looking for over valuations from Wall Street with a view to selling out for the $$$

Ok I'm bored now

A more charitable interpretation of that comment is that vaccines work by tricking the immune system into reacting to something that is not dangerous. The reaction is necessary to train the immune system when the threat does arrive but the initial reaction doesn’t have any benefit on it’s own.

> Honestly, I've never found story pointing exercises to result in anything resembling reality.

IIRC, story points are a replacement for detailed hour estimates that were created specifically because of research dating back through the 1940s shows clearly that estimates of original intellectual work of any detail are essentially impossible; story points are literally throwing in the towel on that issue and wasting less time chasing something you aren't going to get. With tracking of velocity and history you get better numbers with story points than when people try to estimate in hours, because people are better at rough relative size estimates than detailed estimates, but that's a marginal improvement. The big win is you spend less time chasing false precision with them.
A lot of the comments here are saying that js and css should be inlined to make loading faster. I disagree.

They should be small (or nonexistent in the case of js), but I believe they should be separate, and proper caching enabled. This means that the first page load may be milliseconds to a second longer, but any other page loads after will be instant since those resources will be pulled from cache.

Note: I am assuming that the web page under load is really small, 50 kb or less.

I welcome anyone who disagrees to say so. I acknowledge that I could still be wrong.

I really wonder if and how badly this will affect the already on-edge population on "just how soon they'll ring up to get in line" for testing, once they see this plastered all over the news this evening. And, I mean, even worse: pure gold for the antivaxxers, which is going to be a problem, too. I just hope people will understand this is part of the process and not let go of their motivation to get vaccinated.

> What we need are top level JIT, AOT and GC implementations, anything else is just going backwards.

Not always. As I aforementioned in another thread, we also need C/C++, Python, Perl, etc. as is since they fill different roles and attack different problems.

I've written Java, C, C++, Python, Perl, PHP. Had to abuse some of them to fit roles which they're not designed to do. At the end of the day, these languages satisfy different needs and solve different problems in different scenarios. Java wouldn't be able to do all of them. Neither C++, nor Python.

As I said, you may like Java but, it's not the king of every programming language. No programming language is king of everything BTW.
I had looked at Nannou less than a year ago. It looks like it is really progressing nicely! This may be my seque into learning Rust.

Do you really think that would be a reasonable thing to happen, and good for technology and the world in general? It seems disproportionately punitive, and the "right" thing to happen only if all you care about is watching things burn.

And you haven't addressed the precedent that's been set that APIs are now copyrightable. Do you like that precedent? Do you ever use anyone else's APIs in your daily development, and do you like how that now opens you to huge potential liability? Is all of this worth it just because Google didn't acquire Sun??

The bit about TCI (a cable company with a lot of debt in the 70s) is super interesting. I've read before about how companies don't always see debt as a bad thing, and how they can move money around, but it always seems like magic. From the article - "And indeed, Malone’s strategy required TCI to show a loss for pretty much forever; for the next 25 years, it was never in the black". As the article mentions, Amazon followed a similar strategy for a long time.

It reminds me of a quote by the WWI French field marshal Foch - "My center is giving way, my right is retreating, situation excellent, I am attacking."
>If you, like Scalia, believe that the “unenumerated rights” were those that were understood to exist at the time of the founding, then privacy isn’t one of those rights.

Scalia believed strongly in the right to privacy and privacy was certainly considered a right at the time of the constitution. I'm not sure where your source got that idea, but it's easy to document otherwise.

https://iapp.org/news/a/scalias-privacy-impact-will-be-felt-...

"A machine that sees through walls, reasoned Scalia, in order to capture the heat emanating from lamps used to grow marijuana, infringes upon individuals’ reasonable expectation of privacy, even when law enforcement is positioned outside the house."

"In United States v. Jones, probably the most important Fourth Amendment case since the 1967 decision in Katz v. United States, Scalia, writing for the majority, required the police to obtain a warrant prior to attaching a GPS tracker to a suspect’s car. While basing his opinion on narrow property grounds, Scalia rejected the government’s claim that individuals had no expectation of privacy while driving in broad daylight on city streets."

http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/10-1259.html

"In Florida v. Jardines, Scalia, again writing a 5-4 decision supported by three liberal justices and Justice Thomas, held that police use of a trained detection dog to sniff for narcotics on the front porch of a private home was, indeed, a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. The consequences of Jardines, as well as other dog sniffing cases, are far broader than for just narcotics searches. They implicate suspicion-less searches by other mechanized sniffers – for example, think about keyword searches of communications contents and metadata for cybersecurity or intelligence purposes."

It's really hard to tell from the wording of all of this what exactly this applies to. It talks about medicine and food allergies, but also says those who carry an an adrenaline autoinjector.

I have seen the same basic cycle, management says don't focus on perf, just "knock out" (I despise this lingo) the features. They have this overconfidence, but flop on the next release and patronize the dev team about perf.

2) architected in at the design level and not applied as a spell.

I really like what the rust team is doing with tracking rustc compilation times. Another reason that integration tests are the best tests.

I thought Terraform provider was developed/maintained by Hashicorp, not Google. Are Google employees actively involved? I also did encounter annoying issues (which have slowly been getting better though).

Very general, very good, but very intrusive. I would use it for a new language VM, like a lisp.

> honest-to-god password supported on latest Android?

Yep, I have one. I haven't kept up with the latest, but the "standard" good password should be good (i.e. above 12 characters, letteers, numbers, etc.)?
I'm pretty certain this has nothing to do with pressure.

The risks profile is very different, and for the same reason my trials aren't run on pregnant women. It hardly makes sense (and would be immoral) to include people in a clinical trail who you know are more likely to get adverse affects (up to death) from the drug/vaccine.

Especially for vaccines you know there will be certain subgroups that can't be vaccinated anyway, and because of herd immunity that doesn't matter too much.
I do see your point that it could sound like “everyone wants out,” but FWIW to me it didn’t come across that way.

I read the GP as asking “how will the EU stop the people leaving when they prefer to work elsewhere,” which implies that most people are moving for personal preference reasons rather than jobs. I doubt that is the case - I suspect that most humans would prefer to have both an elite job and their family relatively nearby, thus keeping talent locally is pretty easy if you have elite jobs to offer.

But since the GP didn’t elaborate on why they think people are leaving it’s difficult to argue about the posters intentions.

> Can I tweet that??!?

> The smallest possible QR code is 21×21 pixels, that’s too many characters to fit into a Tweet. Sorry!

Ah, but you're thinking inside the box! With Unicode block elements[1] you can divide a single character into a 2x2 block of "pixels", thus requiring a grid of only 11x11 (121 characters + 10 line breaks). Unicode braille patterns[2] come in 2x3 or 2x4 dot patterns, so depending on your font and how forgiving your QR code reader is, you might be able to use braille patterns for even larger QR codes.

I have put several curl|bash things into production and it's done because it's the only way to run installers that work on everything but windows without having to maintain a .deb, .rpm, and brew formula or something.

Often I'll write something like: here's the install steps, or just enter this curl|bash line into your terminal. Guess which users prefer.

People who care can download the script first and/or run it as a different user or in a vm. It's not that scary.

Analyzing her "Midnight Poem" is a favorite pastime, there has been attempts by astronomers to pinpoint the date of this night, the latest I know is a paper from 2016 (https://dhayton.haverford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Sap...). From this paper, here's the poem in Ancient Greek and three translations:

ἐδυκε μὲν ἀ σελάννα
καὶ πληΐαδες μέσαι δε
νύκτες, πα ὰ δ‘ ἔ χετ‘ ὤ α,
ἔγω δὲ μόνα κατεύδω

The Moon hath left the sky;
Lost is the Pleiads‘ light;
It is midnight
And time slips by;
But on my couch alone I lie.
(Symonds, 1873–1876).

The moon has set, and the Pleiades;
it is midnight,
the time is going by,
and I sleep alone.
(Wharton, 1887: 68).

The silver moon is set;
The Pleiades are gone;
Half the long night is spent, and yet
I lie alone.
(Merivale, 1838: 226).

There has been criticism on the methodology used, e.g. (https://rogueclassicism.com/2016/05/16/problems-with-the-sci...). A good collection of her poems with modern translations is (https://www.amazon.com/If-Not-Winter-Fragments-Sappho/dp/037...)

Don't be afraid of feedback, and don't be afraid to criticize. Just ask for a certain time to do feedback, prepare a list of things to talk about, and then in a private space candidly talk about them.

It's one of the things that the Air Force expects its leaders to do, and I've always liked that. I've found people to generally be surprisingly willing to discuss topics on both sides of a feedback session.

Usual things to talk about would be expectations of what they'll do at work and all the related tasks, their work performance & what's helping and hindering it, how they fit in to their work-center both professionally and emotionally (do they feel detached, are they getting along with folks?), if there are recommendations from them for the work-center and how to improve the system.

Depending, it can take 20 min or go on for hours. I've found feedback sessions like these to be very useful and productive though, and less awkward than some people assume.

What's wrong with the web where sharing content requires the use of tools for both authors (a text editor) and readers (a web browser)?

We're so used to social networks being all-in-one, but that doesn't mean it's the only way. A network that doesn't come with all of its own tools isn't necessarily worse -- it might even be healthier that people can solve their own use cases with their own apps.
I think we're just going to have to pay for privacy. If it's important, and scarce, it will be up for sale. All societal social values and morals will be commoditized and assessed for purchase. No one is smart enough to know why this is antithetical to their society's interests.
That idea is very common, and very silly.

Who says that if they experienced the software the same as a normal user, they would automatically improve its performance?

This may apply for parts of open source development, where developers work on stuff for their own use. But even they may have other priorities.

And as a commercial developer, your backlog is constantly full. You may have some leeway to choose what you work on, but there is absolutely no guarantee it will be performance, just because you personally experience bad performance.

The way to get performance improvements is to make it a business priority to measure and improve performance.

And for that, it is absolutely not necessary for developers to be slower in everything they do, just so they can experience their software's performance "realistically".
