Wow! Great job guys! I've often wondered how this could be solved in Mexico and you guys seem to have found a nice way to do it.

I'm curious, but would someone who has a small shop at the mercado be able to use your service? Would this let them compete against Coppel if a consumer want to buy cheaper electronics from the guy across the street? Are these the people you're targeting at all? Your aleados look very established.

If that's the case, it's only likely to be so for a very few years before we start seeing at least the more progressive jurisdictions like California putting severe restrictions on how that data can be used—not just "with consent", but "at all", given how easy it is for them to tack any kind of "and we get to sell all your data" clause into a user agreement.
>But the assumed “fact” that women were statistically less skilled than men in STEM fields was already starting to disintegrate in 2005, as boys were falling behind academically and girls were accelerating, a trend continuing in to 2021.

Summers' claim is not incompatible with this observation. Not only disagreeing with Summers/Pinker but questioning their fundamental standing as "good faith actors" on these grounds is sad, but unfortunately pretty common. Your assertions about the grounding or lack thereof of these ideas in 2005 are simply false, and there's a reason why Summers is still remembered as an egregiously noteworthy case of incipient cancel culture.

This seems to be the standard middlebrow recourse for having to deal with uncomfortable ideas - find a shoddy, overconfident "debunking" of the inconvenient expert view from a trusted source (this will often rely on obvious misconstruals of the claims that the expert actually made), then call the experts "bad faith actors" when they continue to espouse said views.

There's a good book, Code by Petzoid, that was eye opening for me since I didn't go to CS.edu. Conceptually, it's best to start with how a CPU and memory actually work. Language ideas are somewhat ubiquitous, (objects, loops, everywhere), and know why C is faster than JS. You're basically BS proof after that. There's as much hype and fake news in software as anything. Keep looking at your build and execution speed trends in your code base and less dependencies is always more. Then follow your curiosity. You're golden.

> "This isn't the vindication of privatisation you seem to think it is."

I'm not suggesting it is. I'm saying that privatisation has not been a disaster, which was the OP's claim. If privatisation was a disaster, passengers would not have flocked to the railways in record numbers.

> "the operators are still using the exact same rolling stock as in 'the old days of British Rail'"

This isn't true in the vast majority of cases. With very few exceptions (like a few remaining HSTs), you'd be hard pressed to find any train operating into London that dates back to British Rail. Many routes have been through multiple rolling stock upgrades since the BR days!

But note that rolling stock is not something that the operators have much control over anyway. Upgrades are decided/determined by the Department for Transport as part of the franchise terms. So if you do find yourself on an ancient train on some regional route, that's really the government's fault, not the operator's.

> "How is it that half of the UK's private operators are subsidiaries of other countries' nationalised operators?"

Nationalised operators tend to have low costs of capital, so can potentially bid lower for franchises than private competitors who are likely to be paying higher interest rates. They also already have management experience in running large railways, which helps to support their bids.

> "The 'bad old days' of British Rail were because of persistent underfunding, not the ownership structure."

I think this is partially true.

> "The UK state spends more on railways today under a privatised system than they did when the entire system was nationalised."

Yes, but again, passenger numbers have increased dramatically in that time. In 2019, the UK's total rail subsidy (including Network Rail spending) was 3.97p per passenger mile. That's just about as low as it's ever been since at least 1980.
> I’m finding myself attributing this to some form of “move fast and break things”

That was the case when they were the small and hungry startup.

Meanwhile they've been acquired by a giant corporation with a less than stellar reputation for reliability or quality. So it's most likely a case actually of "move slow and break things".
I think there's one thing to mention - this has been happening for a long long time.

In my family tree, there were lots and lots of farmers, and now there are no farmers left.

Looking backward along your family tree you'll probably find the same, probably like something in this blog post.

I think this is the graph that might describe it:

All personal anecdotes but:

Flights - wierd fare classes that dont have the normal options re changes and cancellation, no recourse through the airline if there are any issues

Customer service - hours on hold, and you have to call them to change anything, the hotel/ airline wants nothing to do with you

Hotels- treated like a 3rd class citizen, no points, cant use your status if you have it, worst room, I have been charged extra "urban fees" at the hotel on these fares. Hotels (business hotels anyway) dont want you to use Expedia and treat you like shit if you do.

I expect they have a niche for infrequent, budget sensitive, travelers as I have seen deals on there, but if you travel regularly, or expect plans to change, stay away.

What I like about google flights is how minimally commercial it is, it really looks just like its reporting fares, not flashing promoted bundles of things in your face.
I think there is something similar at work with decentralized platforms: they might never be as slick as their centralized counterparts, but it’s a kind of ascetic choice that opens new doors.

Alright, but how can you nationalize these businesses under EU laws and regulations?

I'm rather sure your Labor party (at least Corbyn) was constantly attacking EU/Brussels and often dutch for neoliberalism.

If your political position is re-nationalisation then it's easier to do it outside the EU unless you think the Conservative party stays in power forever.

Go buy a Fitbit today. Incredibly, against all odds according to this article, you still can. They make new ones every 6 months. They may not have the high-performance 60hz display tech of the AW, but look past that and its a better experience than AW (and I use an iPhone; I still prefer Fitbit).

Week long battery life on all models. Truly continuous heart rate monitoring (versus AW's "I'll take a reading maybe once every five minutes unless you're working out"). Great range of devices, from $50 trackers to $300 super-watches (ALL of which are still cheaper than the $400 giga-watches that Apple physically cant not make). Sleep tracking, without worrying about battery life?

Apple Watches are a jewelry phone companion. That's what they do, and that has value, for some people. I've never seen that value. My value is specifically in fitness; Fitbit is Just Better at that.
Yep. SAP utilizes it, for instance.

When I was there, my laptop was a ridiculously overspec'd Windows system (with a high end Nvidia Quadro for unknown reasons), and they had us run a SUSE VM with IntelliJ for our dev environment.

Thonny runs well on my Pinebook Pro, so in that case comparably wimpy ARM based Linux machines can be used for things like Python development even with an IDE.

It just depends on how heavy-duty what you're trying to do is. Scripting in general runs fine on my ARM SBCs. The real trouble is if you've got something that you need to recompile every time you make a change and you don't have a cache set up.
The analogy to Cixin Liu's "dark forest" concept also seems apt and enlightening. (Basically: it's a game theoretic response to the Fermi Paradox that suggests that any sensible galactic civilization would avoid making contact with any other civilization and attempt to stay hidden.)

More and more over the past few years, I've seen my own social circles migrate away from public forums like Facebook and Twitter and into private WhatsApp group chats, Discord groups, and so on.

In some cases these are groups of people I know in real life, and in some cases everyone is anonymous or pseudonymous.

And there is definitely an unspoken rule of "don't unilaterally invite anyone, don't advertise that this group exists, stay hidden, we like what we have going on here."

It's in some ways a reversion to the style of older private Usenet/BBS/IRC channels, but in other respects it's a lateral move. For one, it's still mostly happening on centralized platforms.

What I think is interesting is how our media ecology (in the sense of media as means we communicate and express ourselves, not "mass media") is an interplay between these big public spaces and a proliferation of smaller private spaces. It's not _just_ a dark forest, there's also a bright canopy into which people emerge, forage, and carry back down into the forest.
"the entire world stopped using dairy and beef, the cow as we know it would quickly go extinct"

Lots of animals are not used for meat and dairy and are not extinct. Sure, numbers of cows would be massively reduced but that also frees up pasture. Pasture could be converted to habitat for wildlife and support a more diverse set of species.

I can only speak for myself, but I don't care if the number of cattle are reduced to a tiny fraction of the population they once were, if it means more biodiversity.
> I wonder if they track Github Status traffic volume as some sort of meta-indicator? Is it even viable?

Sure, the previous decent sized company (~1000+ devs) had that exact metric available.

Visits to the status page generally that is. Now whether you could actually correlate that to an increase in errors for a particular component, no so much ;)

I'm sure it's totally feasible but it requires a certain amount of discipline to have consistency in logging/metric standards across all your applications to some extent.

Even worse, some applications would return a shared error page but internally, I believe it was logged as a 301 redirect until someone spotted it :)

The interesting thing for me has been the curve of performance/dollar over the past decade since the first Pi came out.

The gap was huge back then, but the Pi 4 is now getting competitive for some use cases (especially if also considering power efficiency for lighter usage patterns), and I can see a time where the value gets even better depending where things end up with a Pi 5 or 6 in the next few years...

As others have said, each time through the loop ‘resets’ the scope.

But on this subject, at this point, my rule of thumb is to always use ‘const’ first, until I find myself in a situation where I’m forced to change it to ‘let’.

If I’ve gotten into a situation where it seems like I need to use a ‘var’, then I seriously take a minute to rethink the implementation :)
It’s irrelevant to the topic at hand.

It's not really possible to produce enough calories for the population by focusing on fruits and vegetables. Only cereal and starch crops can do that. This has been true ever since humans stopped being hunter-gatherers and it won't change in our lifetimes.

Also even produce farming is increasingly automated. For example there are already working prototypes of strawberry picking robots; within 10 years those will be in widespread use on large farms.
Yeah - sadly, it's extremely subjective. In the beginning, I hired some lousy people and some great people, and eventually I got much better at quickly and accurately sizing up someone's competence, independent of their personality. The shy people need some softball questions to help them feel relaxed; the bigger personalities need to be poked and prodded a bit to see how they react under a little bit of pressure. A good team has a mix of different personalities, and if they're all bright and eager, they'll get along just fine.

Anyway, to answer your actual question: One thing I'd always ask at some point is, "Can you tell me about a time where you solved a hard problem?"

They'll think you're trying to gauge their problem solving abilities, but their answer will give you much more valuable insights regarding their aptitude and enthusiasm. While they're answering, you'll get to ponder:

"What does this person think is hard?"

"How well can they communicate a complex topic?"

"Does solving hard problems excite them?" etc
+1 - I learned a lot from those giant manuals. I also remembered calling their (free at the time, I believe?) customer support hotline about issues with some printer and the guy dictating a bunch of kernel parameters to me over the phone (which did fix the issue!). Different times ...
No offensive, but using a subscription model because of how your company wants to be categorized is an awful justification to make a product decision at such an early stage.

> our CI can't clone the PR to run tests. What do other folks use to avoid this situation?

Multiple remotes can help and is certainly something you should have as a backup. However I don't think it solves the root cause which is how the CI is configured.

I'm a firm proponent of keeping your CI as dumb as possible. That's not to say unsophisticated, I mean it should be decoupled as much as possible from the the how of the actions it's taking.

If you have a CI pipeline that consists of Clone, Build, Test, and Deploy stages, then I think your actual CI configuration should look as close as possible to the following pseudocode:

stages:
- clone: git clone $REPO_URL
- build: sh ./scripts/build.sh
- test: sh ./scripts/test.sh
- deploy: sh ./scripts/deploy.sh

Each of these scripts should be something you can run on anything from your local machine to a hardened bastion, at least given the right credentials/access for the deploy step. They don't have to be shell scripts, they could be npm scripts or makefiles or whatever, as long as all the CI is doing is calling one with very simple or no arguments.

This doesn't rule out using CI specific features, such as an approval stage. Just don't mix CI level operations with project level operations.

As a side benefit this helps avoid a bunch of commits that look like "Actually really for real this time fix deployment for srs" by letting you run these stages manually during development instead of pushing something you think works.

More importantly though, it makes it substantially easier to migrate between CI providers, recover from a CI/VCS crash, or onboard someone who's responsible for CI but maybe hasn't used your specific tool.
