> I've been aware for some time that a short relationship I had with another Scala developer in 2018, which is the subject of a blog post published today, was being discussed increasingly widely within the Scala community. A second post relating to an earlier, two-year relationship has also been published today.

> While I have no desire to discuss my private life in public, both posts contain several falsehoods, and I strongly reject their characterizations of me.

> I have always believed in unbiased kindness towards others, and given the relatively few women using Scala, plus my role as a prominent figure within the Scala community, I have gone out of my way to be as welcoming as possible to newcomers. This kindness extends to everyone in the community. And at the conferences I frequently attend or organize, I always try to make myself approachable and supportive.

> Through this openness, and over the last few years, during which time the Scala community has been the main focus of most of my activities, I have formed many friendships which have developed both at conferences and online. In the last decade, a tiny number of these proceeded, over a period of weeks or months, to become romantic relationships. They did so gradually, and with the full consent and cooperation of all parties.

> I have no doubt that both women who have published posts today were hurt when our relationships ended. So was I. But the nature of relationships is that many of them do end, and that does not always happen amicably. However, I stand by how I behaved during both relationships, and after they ended. The suggestions that I acted improperly are false or, at best, misinterpretations of my intent. I am happy to be independently scrutinised on any of the points raised.

> The nature of the claims that have been made is serious, and I do not discount that. But they are one-sided, retrospective revisions of the history of those relationships, which have evolved over the last three years.

> Nevertheless, given the open letter against me, I feel that regardless of the baselessness of these claims, it would not be appropriate for me to continue to participate at Scala conferences, so I shall no longer do so.

> I do not intend to discuss this matter further in public.

We all know what it means because we are familiar with numerous other cases of such dissembling. That does not make it any less dishonest; it just means they are members of a big, dishonest club.
One question I have whenever algorithms are used to try to figure out multiple authors: was this algorithm tested on works we know that were written by a single author?

People change. Maybe the scribe developed back problems or RSI or arthritis. Even writing styles can change. What is the range of single person variability, and how does that compare with the variability we see in the work?
The labor situation is a factor but the arid environment helps with pests and California is basically the ideal environment to grow a lot of things, once you irrigate it. Compare photos of Georgia peaches to California ones and the difference is obvious.

A few RISC-V SBCs are already on the market. I suspect RISC-V will come to dominate the IoT/Edge space in the next few years before graduating to other market segments.

IoT/Edge deployments are less standardised than other computing workloads. Developers and integrators in this area already expect to deal with a lot of bother when working with a new chips. Also, the margin on these devices is usually razor thin, so the potential savings from not paying ARM licensing fees would be more appreciated.

Finally, RISC-V's modular approach allows for a greater level of flexibility and innovation, which will allow manufacturers to further differentiate and gain a competitive advantage. This is especially relevant for IoT/Edge solutions where thermal and power budgets are heavily constrained.
I'm not saying staging should go away. I'm saying it should work in reverse.

Instead of having all the changes in your working directory and commit some temporary state not reflected in the working directory, I'd like to move my changes into a temporary area and then pick the lines into my working directory and commit that.

That way I can compile and run tools etc on the code that will be committed before committing.

If I'm not ready to commit everything, I could then stop the "commit mode" and my uncommitted changes would be brought back into the working directory.

At least that's what I dream of.

Definitely someone I would consider a creep and I would advise introvert women to stay away from. Because his manners seem to be quite predatory, and he tried to keep in touch with her while she asked him to back off.

But I can't really consider him a rapist, I read her statement, I read his.

She repeatedly shows she was unsure about her feeling, she doubted herself, she even remained friends for several months. Having sex with a drunk stranger is pretty lame, but all of these things make me believe she did not explicitly refused, she probably went along, internally horrified but externally somewhat willing.

I don't know what I would do if many years after, someone called me out publicly by claiming they did not consent, I would certainly feel sorry I hurt someone, but I would not consider myself a rapist and would treat myself like one.

> "This model, although functional, is way more complex than it needs to be.

And I don't see how that statement is consistent with:

# First Understand "branches are commits"
$ git commit -a -m WIP
$ git checkout $NEW_BRANCH

I just don't, sorry. Trivial concept. Trivial composition of two commands you use all the time. Orthogonal. Clean. Straightforward. There are areas (c.f. the index, which I talked about upthread) where git does make excessive demands on the new learner. This is simply not one. Sorry.

What the linked article wants to see is objectively a more complicated UI based on an incorrect understanding[1] of what a git branch is.

[1] Which is weird, because git's idea of "working on a branch" is fundamentally unchanged from the legacy handed down from SCCS, RCS, CVS and subversion. NONE of those tools ever did this!

It doesn't violate any law of thermodynamics (in as much as it does violate the arrow of time in some sense). The problem is hawking radiation is pure white noise which means if a laplace demon existed (and for our purposes, when quantum mechanics meets real world, we assume an infinite number of laplace demons exist and are created every moment), it cannot reverse a black hole back into its constituents that fell in. This is a HUGE problem.

However, there was a solution to this published in 2019. Just look up Black Hole Information Paradox and it should appear as the last section on the wiki page.
>Mighty uses 10x less memory than Google Chrome. Load hundreds of tabs without it stalling, freezing, and slowing down your computer.

That what Firefox was doing for me (i had 2000+ tabs - had to block Windows perf monitor staff which was just burning practically all CPU trying to "monitor" that Firefox :). Had to start using Chrome (company stuff), and it is like an order of magnitude downgrade, in particular when it comes to tabs.

So, Mighty sounds like a great solution to a self inflicted problem of a slow and resource hungry Chrome. Of course one could probably just fix the Chrome ... Whom i'm kidding?! I've worked on 2 browsers (pre-Firefox Mozilla is one) and of course there is practically no way of it short of deep rewrite.

I wonder though about copyright issues here. The creative layers who killed Aereo could possibly apply the same logic of "public broadcasting even if to just one person" to the Mighty too.
It is two streams but it actually isn’t MST. It’s two independent HBR2 links; MST would have been two streams over one HBR2 link, which doesn’t have the bandwidth for 5k.

As long as we're sharing anecdotes: I've seen Mercurial used very successfully with much, much larger repositories than Firefox and I'm fully aware that Firefox is already big. I don't know how big the full repositories were, but I am assuming at least several TB. I have never seen git getting pushed that far and I have no idea how it would behave then. My guess is that it would slow down a lot, but at least not fail entirely.
> They also seem to use consumer GPUs that violate NVIDIA's licensing and agreements

It is still "unwilling". "Unable" implies a capacity to do a thing which they clearly can but they are "unwilling" to do so because of their policies.
It's more complicated though.

Portland OR already has I5 running right through town and very near the port. Presumably it also has a number of rail lines.

Coos Bay is, relatively speaking, in the middle of nowhere along the Oregon coast, in a very mountainous region.

Refurbishing the rail line is a great idea, but surely they'd also want some of these to be offloaded to trucks, which is going to require an expansion in the highway infrastructure, at least with the respect of carrying heavier loads more frequently if not adding a lane in each direction so that they can accommodate the traffic increase.
Around 30 percent of the cost of an electric car is the battery:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-16/electric-....

But having free rental as an option could make the car cheaper in other ways. For example, if it's free to rent a car, people would opt for 2WD instead of AWD in many cases since they can rent a truly capable AWD car when they want to go up to the mountains. AWD is substantially more expensive and requires much more maintenance than 2WD.
Which is why water theater was so rediculous in California during the drought. San Diego banned restaurants giving people water unless they asked for it, but they didn’t ban putting a scoop of California grown rice on the plate unless people asked for it.

Water essentially all goes to agriculture, a small amount to industrial, and even smaller amount to decorative irrigation. Toilets are not even a rounding error but here we all are plunging to “save the planet”.
I think Apple's been making major leaps in hardware but slow as a turtle when it comes to software. iPad is restricted by the software despite having the best hardwares in its category. Really wish they would pay some attention to it.
Both genders should be taught both sides of the situation

This isn’t to play down the experiences of women at all, but it can be easy to forget that this happens to men too

Given the current culture, it can be even harder for men to come forward with their stories, and even less likely for them to be believed

As a plus, I think making sure to teach boys what is and isn’t acceptable to happen to them could help to teach them how to treat others

I think that otherwise, if it’s “don’t rape” for boys, and “don’t let people rape you” for girls, then it’s almost like marking each gender out solely as potential abusers and potential victims, which surely couldn’t be a good thing
I'm not 100% against this being an astroturf campaign, but there's literally never been a single idea the past 6-7 years you've felt this strongly to post about, ad nauseam, until this exact thing?

Thank you for the term "quotient types", that's the first time I'm hearing that!!!

I agree that this would be an amazing thing to have, but I've never seen those anywhere in practice (not even in Idris). My gut-feeling tells me that it might not work in combination with composability in the sense that there might never be a proper global "equal" that everyone can agree one.

I'm curious - besides the ones mentioned, are there any other fundamental type concepts that you would build into your own programming language? :)
When you are doing a safety check list, you don't skip and do whatever part of the checklist you feel comfortable doing.
You do it from top to bottom.

Multiple people have died in accidents because they focused on small issue ignoring the larger problem.

So when it's time to check safety in scuba diving, you should better follow the instruction instead of doing whatever you want.
Example. There is no point to worry about "Is your mask clean?" when you are going to run out of oxygen and drown.
"Employees say the founders’ memos unfairly depicted their workplace as being riven by partisan politics, when in fact the main source of the discussion had always been Basecamp itself."

I see this assumption a lot, too, that banning political discussion is purely a matter of preventing partisan squabbling. The truth is, though, that banning political discussion means banning challenges to the status-quo, and maintaining the status-quo is often just defaulting to political conservatism and the current organizational structure.

I'd like to think that some people will read the statement, and new ones like it, in a more cynical and suspicious light, now.
> buy 32 gigs of ram

Even their Mac mini doesn't offer a 32 gigs of ram. One of the reasons I had to go with Intel version instead of M1 because at least I could upgrade to 32gb ram myself (plus was cheaper). There is no reason why they can't offer 32 gigs ram on non-laptop lines.
I think this is perhaps true in a different way than you mean it: politics has such a pervasive effect on people's lives that it is nearly impossible to remain resolutely neutral about everything (and going out of your way to try to do so anyway will come to be seen as its own stance).
It's a terrible name, anything starting with the abbreviated prefix "Gen" is hopelessly ambiguous. Is it "Generate"? "General"? "Generic"? "Genetic"? "Genesis"? While some would certainly be less frequently encountered, all can easily be found in programming context. When seeing "GenXxxxx" I could well understand someone feeling immediate brain-fog.

That said, this is one of very few criticisms I can level at Elixir, and it's a tiny part of the eco-system - literally, one single name. I wonder would it be easy to alias?

This self-balancing effect is a big part of how trade should work according to monetarist economics[0]

But for reasons I don't fully understand (possibly Triffin's Dilemma[1]), this hasn't worked for the US. Triffin's explanation basically says it can't work for the global reserve currency issuer because we have to keep exporting our currency to other places (and exporting currency means importing goods and services)

I worked on a Pega project once. There was nothing in there that the business people would be able to touch, especially after the requirements exceeded the capabilities of Pega’s primitives. One of the local friendly FTEs (the dev work was contracted out) would’ve been happy to use C#/ASP.Net web forms like everything else in the org.
We were looking for a washer/dryer in March and a dishwasher in January. In both cases, about 75% of the models were sold out. One place basically told us "We have no dishwashers in stock and no idea when we're going to get any." When a dealer did have stock, they were like "Anything that's out of stock, you can forget about getting in any reasonable timeframe."
You can just look up and verify it then

Are you aware the Armstrong Report that you cite was written by the government?

In any case, prosecutors were well aware the defendants were innocent. Once they saw the crime scene it was apparent that there was just one assailant.

However, they had a big problem. How could they find the actual rapist? They had five innocent defendants in custody and it would embarrassing to everyone to just let them out. So, prosecutors framed them for the rape.

That's mentioned but dismissed. I would think age might be a factor though. Some scribe took a break for whatever reason returning to the task after 10 years or so?

> Although one cannot rule out completely that the clear separation between the two halves of the manuscript and the difference in writing patterns are due to a change of writing implement (a different pen), writing fatigue or some injury that the writer suffered when moving on to the second half of the manuscript, the more straightforward explanation is that a change in scribes occurred.

I'm confused by what you're trying to say.

While I think it is accurate that the Intel hardware put in Macs the past few years was rapidly falling behind competitive AMD hardware, that same hardware was still largely dominating Windows market share. (I won't speak to Linux because maybe it's such a technology aware segment that the majority already migrated away from Intel to superior AMD hardware in the past few years.)

But the point stands that most non-macOS users were on roughly the same mediocre Intel hardware. Decent single core, but increasingly hot and inefficient in the past few years.

It also seems like Big Sur + M1 is doing something kind of special with efficient use of RAM to ensure programs load and perform remarkably well.
Think about future in 10 years from now, I see what mighty's end goal might be. They are trying mass market EaaS (User Experience as a Service) where we can run all high performing operations in cloud in browser as simple as transfer a file to Dropbox. So i would like to be such a world where access barrier to high performance systems is brought down. Imagine combining mighty+replit+video editor boom . This would be as revolutionary as dropbox, when Google presented Map Reduce paper on commodity hardware.
