> In the long run, we're all dead

If you want to know where to stash your money in 2021, you look at history for lessons. USD will be completely worthless one day just like the sun will eventually burn off the surface of the Earth. I'm thinking back to financial crisis days when there were endless cries of runaway inflation being around the corner and that the Fed couldn't handle a crisis of this magnitude. And I think that looking back they handled it extremely well. They took a nuclear bomb to the chin and stayed standing.
Right. But for those Amazon affiliate links can you also provide an Amazon.ca affiliate link?
This isn’t true, the ECMA spec for JSON specifies that order is treated in an implementation-defined fashion.

> An object structure is represented as a pair of curly bracket tokens surrounding zero or more name/value pairs. A name is a string. A single colon token follows each name, separating the name from the value. A single comma token separates a value from a following name. The JSON syntax does not impose any restrictions on the strings used as names, does not require that name strings be unique, and does not assign any significance to the ordering of name/value pairs. These are all semantic considerations that may be defined by JSON processors or in specifications defining specific uses of JSON for data interchange.

https://www.ecma-international.org/wp-content/uploads/ECMA-4...

This wording allows a particular implementation to define its own meaning to the order of key-value pairs, or even to produce a multimap.

As one of the commenters mention, it's an issue with all cryptocurrencies. Right now one of the reason people want to get Gridcoin is to get enough to stake regularly to earn their rewards or because they believe in the coin. In the future, there's been some ideas floating around that I think are very interesting. For instance, one idea that's been floating around is to create a service that accepts GRC and offers assistance to researchers for setting up a BOINC project

If only somehow the government could determine what is true... </sarcasm>

When somebody is accused of a crime we just have to say "Guilty according to whom?" and let them go, because there's no way to know what's true. Sure the DNA says he murdered 3 children, but what are those scientists really after!

If only there were some organized system for appointed people with great track records to somehow listen to both sides of an argument and produce some sort of "judgment" at the end. But that's impossible, because only the TV box knows what's true. Alas...
Ah.

I lived in NY for 3 months and the amount of noise pollution there was insane. The one that I really couldn't believe was the J train on Brooklyn's Broadway. You could be yelling at someone 3ft/1m apart and they couldn't hear you because of the train noise.

I wonder if New Yorkers realise how absolutely crazy that is.
What kind of customer lock-in do you have? Is the API/data format open or closed? Can I easily export my data?

As a customer, I'd be concerned about longevity and data loss if/when you go away or pivot. Knowing that I could export my data, and re-implement my own backend using your open data standard if needed, would go a long way to easing my concerns.

Most customers won't go through the effort to build their own solution, and for those few that do you can easily out-perform with service, experience, and expertise.

You could even offer bespoke integration services...

That's like saying, "I'll stop punching you if you pay me $50, but until then I'm really enjoying punching you." Assholes are assholes and should not be paid to not be assholes, they should just stop it or pay others whenever they cross the line (via fines or other means).
"A rich kid is much more likely to leave an impact on the world and this is what these schools want. I once (10 years ago?) read an article about exactly this. The comparison were some US elite high school that strictly select on IQ and alumni were much less successful than expected (yet, more happy in live). George W went to Yale as far as I remember. I doubt that he scored super high in any IQ test. But he was undoubtedly very successful in live.
"

That's the self fulfilling prophecy that modern democracies are/should be trying to avoid. Otherwise we are on the track of building up a new aristocracy where only the rich and powerful get the opportunity of making a difference.

Yeah, you're reliant on Github metadata to make those links for you; there's nothing natively in git itself doing it. It's also an all-or-nothing affair, where the whole PR becomes a single squashed commit. To get anything in between ("here's my single large PR which I've rebased into N incremental commits, but you can also dig in and see the work that actually led here"), you really do need first class support in the tool.

I suppose the Github answer to all this would be "just make separate PRs", but going that way asks a lot more of the developer in terms of how polished those incremental states need to be.
Also started with OwnCloud and moved to NextCloud. If I'm not mistaken I've been upgrading the same NextCloud install since version 11 or so. Now on 19.

Every time it's basically:

mv nextcloud nextcloud.r19
mkdir nextcloud && pushd nextcloud && tar -zxf ../nextcloud-r20.tgz
cp nextcloud.r19/config/config.php nextcloud/config/config.php
# set permissions
sudo -u php php occ upgrade

Then just log into the web UI and check everything's still sane and follow any upgrade suggestions it has (frequently to run commands to add columns/indexes to the database).

The instructions they provide for a manual upgrade have never failed for me: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/mainte...

As far as software that needs upgrades, NextCloud has definitely been one of the least annoying things I have to deal with.
I recall a Supreme Court justice saying that the best law clerks they ever got were NOT from the Ivy schools – but regardless, because the Ivy schools tended to weed out incompetent clerks (helping ease the screening process and provide a veritable "double check" on someone's competence) they would only pick Ivy credentialed clerks in the future. Stakes were to high not to.

I wonder if the same can generally be said for employers and gov (it's just easier to screen from a pool that has be whittled down to a more manageable size already).

Unfair? Probably. Rational? I think so.

Training quantifiably lowers risk - I'm talking about training for motorcyclists. We all have to do some training pretty much everywhere in the world before we become licensed drivers and riders.

In both the UK and US, advanced training courses are available and are recognized my insurance companies who offer discounts.

Anecdotally, the people that I've picked up off the highway have all been on a cruiser-style bike, been wearing improper clothing (usually shorts and T-Shirts) and not been wearing a helmet. Now that's legal here in CO and fine for an individual to make their own decisions. With further training however, you can make better decisions particularly around risk assessment and handling characteristics.

> The main problem with REST is that it never developed tools even on the level with what we have for GraphQL.

REST isn't really designed for the problem of implementing a single, centrally controlled API, and is basically overkill for that. Its made for a decentralized, heterogenous network of resources controlled by different parties, which can have separately evolving relationships. Like, say, the WWW.

If you have sufficient tooling around it to consume that kind of heterogenous resource network, it's trivial to apply it to a centralized service, but we don't really have the kind of client tooling for applications other than UIs that makes that nice widely available yet, and everyone wanting walled silos instead of free remixing means that REST is probably an antifeature for lots of API providers even if the tooling was 100% there.
If you had 10% of the network the odds of that would be only 1/100K right? Or is that not how this works?
Calling bullshit on the phrase “Kubernetes gives us that for free”
This is an incredibly bold assertion:

> Developers of large or legacy systems that cannot already be run in their entirety during development often believe that it is impractical to run the entire system during development. They'll talk about the many dependencies of their system, how it requires careful configuration of a large number of hosts, or how it's too complex to get reliable behavior.

> In my experience, they're always wrong. These systems can be run locally during development with a relatively small investment of effort. Typically, these systems are just ultimately not as complicated as people think they are; once the system's dependencies are actually known and understood rather than being cargo-culted or assumed, running the system, and all its dependencies, is straightforward.

In my 28 years of professional experience working in 9 different organizations, only one of them did fully run the core system in development, and another two of them could have done that with enough time and effort. For the other six, there was no reasonable way to run the full system in development.

> Typically, these systems are just ultimately not as complicated as people think they are

In fact, most long-running systems are quite a bit more complicated than people think they are.

Granted, a variable but usually large chunk of that complexity can be removed/simplified, but at their core, these 'legacy' systems, the ones that make real companies work, do their job because they have, over many years, figured out how to successfully come up against all kinds of real world complications.

To be clear: I get what (I think) this person is fundamentally trying to say: the more expansive/end to end a development environment is, the better. That it's better to have as wide a view into the system you're working on as possible. Good stuff!

>In some cases, it is most ideal to use the wrapper DiffEqBayes, but it has been somewhat abandoned in support for a neural differential equations package, DiffEqFlux. In some cases if you have a lot of data input, it simply is not possible to use DiffEqBayes. Stan allows for a lot of data input too alongside the system of differential equations, without any issue at all.

As of 2019 you should probably always be using direct Turing.jl: https://turing.ml/dev/tutorials/10-bayesiandiffeq/ . If you slap the differential equation solver into a Turing model it just works, so the wrapper was basically obsoleted when that came into fruition which had nothing to do with DiffEqFlux.jl (on the surface at least: DiffEqFlux.jl led to internal changes that made it very easy). You're then free to write any Julia code you want for handling data, so you can minibatch or whatever you want.

DiffEqBayes.jl still exists because there's no reason to break old code (I am a fan of stability in package ecosystems), and it gives a way to automatically generate Stan differential equation code which is nice for benchmarking. But since the benchmarks show Turing.jl as faster and more robust than Stan (in this context), and the wrapper is less flexible than directly using Turing.jl, at this point the documentation is very clearly pointing people to just use Turing.jl directly, like: https://diffeq.sciml.ai/stable/analysis/parameter_estimation... or https://diffeqflux.sciml.ai/dev/examples/turing_bayesian/ . So if you follow what the current documentation says to do (as of the last few years), then what is quoted is a non-issue.

These media companies are regulated by the FCC, so media companies will now feel pressured to effectively regulate free speech on behalf of the political party in power to avoid any negative repercussions in unrelated matters.

It's disturbing that the constitution limits the government from quelling free speech so now the government is pressuring private companies to achieve what they are forbidden to do on their own.

Why do you doubt he had a high IQ? Depends what we mean by "high", but I would think any president (certainly in modern history) must have a pretty high IQ to manage so many people and issues at once. I would wager someone capable of doing that is capable is getting into Yale on merit, especially when they're younger and in their mental prime. Nothing to do with politics anyone might personally agree or disagree with: Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Obama, Trump, Biden.

For liberals (not saying you) who think Bush is dumb: is it because his policies disagree with you? Maybe people who come to different conclusions to you aren't dumber, but just have different values. Do we really think all of our political beliefs are based on intellect only? That's very arrogant imo.

> This sounds cool, but ... it's a little mystifying to me why food is the area where people are willing to work the hardest to recreate traditional products developed in a period where reality was just very different.

Two reasons, broadly speaking:

First, you get to co-opt existing preferences, instead of trying to displace them by establishing new ones.

Second, to some extent, existing animal-based products are best-in-class due to decades, centuries, or even millennia of survivorship bias. Some of those may represent a local maxima, but discovering that often requires some out-of-the-box thinking, such as Herman Miller's Pellicle as first demonstrated via the Aeron chair, which IMO is superior in practically every respect than traditional chair upholstering methods and materials, no matter how high-end, but absolutely isn't a one-to-one replacement for them.

I literally couldn't finish the article. It is garbage and unresearched, and plays on lazy stereotypes and resentment.

It's an athletic league, first. I know it has a common language meaning, but it's just an athletic league like the PAC 12 or SEC.

And scandals aside, they are highly competitive for teachers and students. There is a network effect here at undergrad through faculty recruitment, and it's inevitable: the best students want to go where the best teachers are. The best graduate students want to go where the best research is. The best researchers want to go where the best facilities and chance at grants are.

Currently it is the Ivy League, but if that disappeared something like it would reappear. Stratification is a fact of the human condition, and where stratification exists concentration will occur. It's the obligation of society limit things it can, like ensuring social mobility and equitable access and distribution of wealth.

edit: The reason people so rightfully annoyed at admission scandals (particularly alumni/students) is because it's a free rider scenario. Ultra-wealthy cheat to get their students into elite schools because they free ride the reputation of the rest of kids that sacrifice part of their youths to rack up the accomplishments necessary for admission. You can see this, because it isn't just Ivies; the last scandal included Stanford.
> Lately I've come to the conclusion that peace and quiet really is a luxury to have. Most people I don't think get to experience it.

It absolutely is. I got the chance to live in a quiet neighborhood near the ocean for a few months and I think back fondly to the level of calm during evening walks there. It felt downright _nourishing_ to my psyche.

This is contrast to living within line of sight to San Diego Airport with the first airplane taking off at 6:31a. In addition to waking me up it would also trigger a significant amount of stress - not a great way to start the day.

A huge amount of ivies power comes from being full of rich students. The most important thing you get from college is networking opportunities unless you're studying stem. The best people to network with are generally the most powerful. The most powerful are generally rich, or got their power by networking with the rich. People generally network with the communities they're familiar with. This all leads to surrounding yourself with rich people being the most important factor you can control when it comes to obtaining power which is why ivies admit so many rich people. It makes the school better for all the students.
