I think my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25549645 explains why I find Dominion uniquely terrible to play with mismatched skill levels, beyond just the "no chance of winning" aspect.

In video games, we call this "snowballing", where once you or your team is losing, the power differential continues to grow, to the point it's not fun. This can happen in MOBAs where teams level, and get more powerful each time they do... the larger the level differential, the less fun the game is for all involved. As soon as the losing team has no chance to recover, there's not much reason for them to continue playing... And the lack of challenge usually gives the winning players or team an unsatisfactory game too, there's no challenge.

In games with a mechanic that snowballs, generally, the game developers try to tune it out, ensuring that players and teams stay within a one or two level margin... a margin that the losing team at least stands a chance of recovering from.

Dominion is not just a game with a snowball effect, but one that does not remotely try to curb it.
I'll add a todo to my list to write up the idea. As far as I know I came up with it, and I've been telling it to people in person for at least a decade.
Well, if you are using a sophisticated tool like restic or borg or duplicity, the file attributes are bundled up into the encrypted chunks and all is well.

However, if you are using plain old rsync, you can use the --fake-super command line switch to maintain those attributes and I believe rsync.net customers are using that successfully.

Yes, you are correct - in the old days (2001-2010 or so) we maintained a pair of "permission scripts" which allowed customers to dump all their attributes to a file and then reapply it later. Again, --fake-super seems to "fix" all of this.

Generally speaking, you should always enable ZFS encryption. It improves many aspects of ZFS behavior and performance - not just space usage. Unless you have very bizarre workloads or hardware, I think that in 2020 there is no reason to not enable compression. Deduplication is another story and is very expensive to maintain - rsync.net has never run de-dupe on any systems.

We (rsync.net) and I (personally) have zero experience with btrfs ...
This. If you have the chance, talk to people, real people, from other countries. At least in my case, this is exactly what they all told me.
<sarcasm>For sure he does not understand macros. Who the hell is he? Was he the first who designed and implemented the first C++ compiler in C++ itself? Or has he designed and implemented D programming language? Really @WalterBright, how dare you express your feelings based on your decades of personal and professional experience?</sarcasm>
Drones are used only for hobby/novelty purposes because the FAA effectively bans everything else. Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and others would love to do drone delivery, but they can’t get regulatory approval. Instead, they have to send trucks through neighborhoods at high speeds. These vehicles inevitably injure and kill some pedestrians. They also create significant amounts of pollution.

Drones are held to a higher standard than any other vehicle I'm aware of. This ends up causing more harm than it prevents.
There is simply no way corporate hegemony will allow you to own the rights to the digital copy of you that they built using the tools of surveillance capitalism. No corporation or lawmaker will grant you rights over corporate property, even if that property was obtained through questionable means and/or your consent was never actually received. That's why these data snooping agreements corporations force into their products reserve the right to do whatever they want with your data.

The obvious response to this is, "Then don't patron those companies," which is just as naive and oversimplified of a solution as the one above suggesting everyone everywhere should just use encryption (but for very different reasons).

There is just simply no logical reason to believe consumers would ever get data rights over corporations under capitalism with major reforms putting corporations back under our boots where they belong.
My apologies, I was being 100% sarcastic, which is now much harder to see because your OP was flagged, even though it was nothing more than a list of some of the people involved in the creation of this app. Poe's Law is in full effect with the see-no-conspiracy crowd these days!

》Bees are the only living thing on earth that doesn’t carry any type of pathogen, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

That is simply not true. Bees have many parasites, fungi, diseases ...
lack of inflation due to a flawed definition of inflation.
All you said are true.

But let's stick to the topic and avoid whataboutism.

Edit:

I saw you have another almost identical comment (now flagged).

Are you feeling that I am deliberately leave out the rethoric that China or CCP were equally brutal, so that you have to raise points about China been the one committed crime.

I find those thoughts insulting, inhumane, and plainly wrong.

I am a Chinese. My ancestors have suffered those brutality themselves.

My grand father still had the memory of the fear he was subjected to during Japanese invasion (not part of the NanJing massacre). My entire life has been haunted by the gruesome deeds that I personally has association with through my people's collective memory.

It was not just the shear number of people killed. It was also the plain animal like brutality performed, whcih terrified my heart. So much so that I avoid sharing those with anyone, online or in person. Just repeating those in my mind causes fear and repulsion to my guts. (Google it yourself at your own discretion)

Can't know what would have happened the other way in each case, but I'd say it's changing jobs. The first handful of times it was really hard as workmates were also good friends. I learn so much more in a new position that I would staying 3/4+ years at the technical top of a current one. Working a different sizes of companies has also been good exposure (though this wasn't entirely a choice). Not keeping in active contact with friends is likely my worst nondecision/inaction.
I'm not sure why they used "screenshot", because they actually take a fingerprint/hash of the material being displayed. It's much more compact and way more practical.
I'm just thinking out loud. Some things don't need fast shipping. Instead it needs a steady and even supply. And if a ship doesn't use any fuel, it could even serves as a kind of movable storage house. Thus I'm really looking forward for the developement of autonomous sailing ships. I really believe there's a market for them, or at least a niche within shipping.

This is really excellent! I just deployed it to monitor our services running in the cloud. Took me all of 5 mins! Thanks a lot for sharing!
Accounting for inflation, there is a wealth transfer. As the rich get richer, supply-constrained assets like housing become more expensive. Folks whose income doesn't scale similarly lose purchasing power, and their quality of life drops as a higher portion of their income goes to rents.
Note that this is a pretty 'shallow' article, and links to one that is even more sparse in details. A quick search turns up dozens of very similar clickbait articles claiming the same thing around July last year.

It seems that if this 'declaration' happened at all, it was around 11 years ago[0]

I skimmed through the article but the idea of someone just focusing on the people, while they work remotely is a definite must.

Personally, I have worked, and managed remote teams for the last 15+ years. The one thing I realized was that if this scales beyond the typical 5+ close-knit team, there should be one person whose only job is make sure the remote teams are "working."

I would treat this akin to a Project Manager but knows how to tweak things for remote. I have wrote few Job Descriptions with the designation in the lines of "Remote Team Liaison", which is more of syntactic sugar for "Head", "Lead".

However, I'd love that this is one of the characteristics of almost every Project Manager, HR, etc. instead of a separate person.
As a wannabe beekeeper myself i can tell you honey bees aren't without their problems. Farming of honey bees has put other wild bee species into decline, and they make up a significant portion of pollinators of flowers bees don't go for. I don't think it's a huge deal and i'd rather more of them than no bees at all, but it's worth looking into because ecological diversity and natural ecosystems are very important.
Isn't it just shelter, healthcare, and education? Or has food prices increased as well?
Interesting, thanks for the pointer to that phrase, I'm reading up on it now.

Are there products that make it easy to do this? I imagine it would be theoretically possible but incredibly time-consuming to keep up with SPY by manually trading on RobinHood!
It follows that cities should allow backyard bee keeping. To make it safer to people allergic to bees, someone should invent a hive on a pole that can be raised or lowered like a flag.
Does anyone else see a blue background on this page?
It’s such a weird wrong sentence to throw in the article. I’m just confused how they got that incorrect tidbit and how no editor didn’t go “hmm I wonder if that is right”
Good. I have zero connection to any MLMs but somehow ~80% of advertising on YouTube and other platforms is for obvious pyramid schemes. Looking forward to be served “normal” ads instead (that’s a weird thing to say...)
Ok that puts it in context a little bit, if it’s making your life easier then it must be useful to people in the same position and role. I’ve o it ever written SQL in stored procs and one off queries so relied on Redgates SQL Prompt tool (you might want to take a look at what that does for some inspiration)

"MYR is considered to be a restricted currency, which implies an inherent limitation to the tradability of this currency. Fund transfers in this currency are not allowed outside of Malaysia"

Lets say you work in Malaysia; your salary is paid in MYR as its legally required to be. You can't get a bank account with most banks because US passport - therefore you can't get a MYR bank account.
Something does not add up here. Making RV full of explosives
and exploding it in a right place not a small feat. Oklahoma City Bombing, for example, took 8 month from start to final blast.

5G paranoids, IMHO, have attention span of a fly and, frankly speaking, just too dumb. I just don't see one of them executing such complex project, and avoiding FBI attention while doing it.

In Oracle 21c and the Autonomous JSON Database, we introduced a new Native JSON Datatype with it's own Binary Storage format called OSON[1].
With OSON, you can perform partial updates on a json document. The added benefit is that this results in significantly lesser redo log size.

Nintendo don’t publish detailed schematics of their systems to the level that you’re claiming. Not even on their developers portal. (I’ve had developer account with Nintendo since the Wii days).

And with regards to your point about Linux vs micro kernels, it does make a massive difference when you’re talking about hardware like the N64 which wouldn’t want any of those features which micro kernels excel at and which every instruction wasted is going to cost the user experience heavily. This point was made abundantly clear at the start of the conversation as well.

Look, I have nothing against micro kernels. There’s an architectual beauty to them which I really like. It’s the functional programming equivalent of kernel design. But pragmatically it wouldn’t be your silver bullet in the very specific context we were discussing (re N64). And to be honest I’m sick of you pulling these pathetic straw man arguments in every thread you post on.
> you're forced to constrict the blob of complexity you're carrying in your head into a linear narrative, which is by definition simpler.

Not necessarily, for example a compiler thinks a tree (AST) is simpler than a linear representation ...
Thanks, a very comprehensive answer. I agree especially that the lack of a hosted option has hamstrung Concourse's success.

I couldn't use the Circle CI links, they're auth gated.
I dunno, if I got ‘tipped’ wouldn’t that mean I’d have to figure out what Brave is, create an account, realize I got $0.03, and then just be annoyed?

Thank you for the feedback. The example in Github has code highlighting. I wonder if I should remove that and if that would make more difference. I would be interested to know how this tool could help you with your SQL usage
- Similar to cloud, no code is not a category itself, but rather a shift in how users interface with software tools.

- In the same way that the cloud democratized the purchase and deployment of software, no code will usher in the next wave of enterprise innovation by democratizing technical skill sets.

- No code is empowering business users to take over functionality previously owned by technical users by abstracting complexity and centering around a visual workflow.
On 1) How can you say the inflation argument has been proven wrong? Since the financial crisis in 2008 houses in Austria have more than doubled in prices.

I find your arguments very naive. You entirely ignore the misuse of governmental power - history has shown us. Also please consider that increasing the money supply steals money (the value of money) from everyone's checking account over the long term. At the same time consider that QE money is not retrieved by the people who need it most (see cantillon effect).

While opening an issue might be the lowest effort option I think there are two better options:

1. If you just wanna thank them, write an email

2. If you want to do so publicly, do so on a public channel (e.g. Blog post, HN, youtube channel, etc)
This is adding much to the archeology. Those food stands you saw were excavated many years ago with less modern methods. This is the first food stand to be excavated in quite some time and has yeilded new discoveries from the application of new methods. I wouldn't expect the new discoveries to be well explained in a short reuters article. I get the idea they were able to make some new analysis of the food and ingredients in the containers. You probably need to be versed in the field and reading archeological journals to really understand the contributions.
Lot of Snowden files still out there.
Even in the science fiction version of this, we're still talking about a copy. It's not you, you can't leave your body or be uploaded. It's just a digital copy that looks like you.
Culture is like macro economics - it's an illusion made up from micro economics. Likewise it's individuals' behaviour and interactions that will form a culture, and though you can put policies in place - like with macro economics - to try to influence maximize certain qualities - however that kills off nuances, flexibility, and variance of individual that's necessary for sovereignty to maximize the individual's contributions. A person will either blend in, integrate successfully into a culture - evolving it hopefully for the better - or their behaviour will lead them to being exiled unless they can learn, grow; my worry has always been if toxic, manipulative individuals capture the review and management positions - which is why I'm interested in non-hierarchical structures, however some still needs necessary; the never-ending tension between liberal and conservation, more hands on vs. more hands off approaches.
That $2350 fee is just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. Asking to become a non-American also is an admission that you know you are an American. https://americansoverseas.org/en/how-to-renounce-us-citizens...:

“Renouncing your U.S. citizenship will not automatically cancel your tax obligations. Prior obligations remain, so you would only be a non-resident on an ongoing basis. You must notify the IRS of the change in your status by filing Form 8854 and then filing a copy with the Department of Treasury as well.

You will be treated as a U.S. citizen for tax purposes until you file this form. The same rules apply to green card holders. You must file the form as soon as possible after you renounce your citizenship.“

To make matters worse, there’s an exit tax (https://americansoverseas.org/en/knowledge-centre/us-taxes-a...). That applies only if you have over $2 million of net worth or “if you have not complied with your US tax obligations for the last five years.”

You pay it over all your assets, including houses and future pensions, and it’s up to 23.8%.
Didn't say you were. Never assumed you were American.

Of the provided links [1], [2] and [3], two of them show Honk Kong, Japan, Macau, Singapore and South Korea in the top 10. Europe gets 3 with Israel and Australia rounding out the 10. You're not incorrect by saying * some * but with Asian countries outnumbering European, lol at how wrong I am.

Your condescending tone is merely a eurocentric insecurity of the decline in your population. With birth rates plummeting, centuries, if not decades, from now, Europe won't be as white, as homogenous as it is (or was) so I understand your response of lashing out instead of accepting Asian countries might lead in anything of consequence.

I'll concede that what I meant by continent, I was actually referring to (specific) Asian countries, not the continent as a whole. Due to lifestyle and diet, Asian countries are more homogenous than other continents hence my lumping them together.

> Not interested in anecdata or hocus pocus.

Meat loving countries have higher obesity rates thus poorer health outcomes. No hocus pocus re: this observation. For someone not interested in anecdata, you miserably failed to do a simple query: https://start.duckduckgo.com/?q=life+expectancy+by+continent

> See, the difference between you and me is that I don't care what you choose to eat. Meanwhile, you feel the need to shame and lie and impose your preferences on others. It's why "annoying vegetarian" is a meme.

Neither do I. I'm shaming Americans and any person who thinks it's okay to eat meat without acknowledging the consequences it has on our environment. Basically what I take issue with is how your diet affects climate change which affects all of us!

PS: I eat meat regularly. I could quit given the need to but don't see myself consuming 'meat' grown artificially.

I don't agree with this line of thinking. This implies that after a certain period of time, you will have the insight to know these things are bad. If you don't agree, then are you just a bad programmer? If I have a differing opinion, have I not programmed enough to come to the same conclusion? What about programming languages like Lisp, Scheme, Nim, and Haxe where Macros are their bread and butter?

Different programmers use different tools. If the end product is the desired result, then let people use what works best for them. I don't use dynamically typed languages; I avoid them like the plague, but that doesn't mean there isn't a ton of good work being done in Python.

Walter is a brilliant language developer and has a lot of firm opinions of programming semantics. I hope to see him expand upon this post and share why he thinks programmers need to be careful using these constructs.
Hey, really nice job! Thank you for this. Noticed one grammatical error on the "Getting Started" page[0] "Step tree" --> "Step three" :)

Looking forward to using this.

Wouldn’t “star” express gratitude?
Do you know if there are any good articles on Valve's non-hierarchical culture?

I guess I’ll chime in and say - as an OSS maintainer, please flood my inbox with messages like this. It really makes my day!
I am not surprised that corporations will advertise somewhere morally questionable. I am (very slightly) more surprised that they still think Facebook advertising is a good (in the sense of "effective") use of their money, given all that has come out in the last few months about how poorly targeted FB's supposedly targeted advertising is.

But then, perhaps the answer is that almost all advertising is really poorly targeted and a waste of money, and CEO's (and their advertising departments) are just not willing to accept that.
> Even if unconfirmed, I think that Nintendo might use Microkernels according to reverse engeneering finds

That was literally what I said :)

> shows their massive potential for constrained devices. Although certainly not for performance reasons

Games consoles are about as far removed from a constrained device as you could possibly get.
I'm a beekeeper and agree. Even healthy bees can carry pathogens. For example, nosema is only an issue once you get past a specific count when analyzing a deadout using a hemocytometer and microscope.
Again: you could make the same argument against the fire department (“don’t rely on the government, learn fire suppression yourself”) or dangerous pharmaceuticals (“the peer-reviewed articles are out there, you just need to learn how to read them”), or protection against assault and theft, or protection against dangerous wild animals, etc etc. In general your argument is “proving” way too much and doesn’t say anything useful.

Nobody is disputing that the government can be corrupt, and at its best will be incapable of protecting everyone from everything. And if you are sincerely anarchist then that’s more of an ideological dispute beyond the scope of this comment.

But I suspect that you actually support regulation around food and medicine, since “a fatal case of salmonella is a small price to pay to make sure we don’t rely on the government” isn’t actually a good argument. And, unlike people who are ignorant about computer technology, you probably have empathy and understanding for people who are ignorant about whether the ground beef they are purchasing is actually safe to eat. You would not be sympathetic to a libertarian food safety specialist came in and said “well I can tell that the ground beef is unsafe, why not teach everyone my skills so they can defend themselves?”

The idea that the government can protect people when it comes to health, medicine, transportation, and personal property... but NOT when it comes to privacy, is just not coherent.
Incorrect title: “Detent” is not “Detente”
Plenty of countries allow dual citizenship, including the US, Canada and most of the EU, so it's not that unusual to have and travel with multiple passports.
Are there even that many “normal” ads? When I tally up all the ads for scams, and the ads for games that in turn are funded by ads, and the ads for the things I just looked at and decided not to buy, I get a sneaking suspicion the online ad business itself is a scam.
You have to work against that. It is usually totally possible to write an email to people with good repos. If they made your day, this is just part of giving back.
