The snark on this from ATGATT (all the gear, all the time) crowd is a bit much. I could imagine it would be frustrating for the concerned to be taking most of the risk that someone looking badass takes, but getting none of the reflected glory. Riders ride for the pleasure of it, judging others for how they enjoy it is a bit much.

This idea we get to be judgy and have anxieties about others taking risks, as though we have some responsibility for them is just wishful thinking. It makes the critic feel they are retaining some power in the face of a risk taker's badassery. Every time I read resentment of someone else taking risks, it's by someone who aspires to do the same thing and doesn't because their risk appetite isn't the same.

Risk takers often seem powerful and sexy, and this offends those invested in compliance. The reason people hate on Harley riders is because they feel ashamed. We all die, but please, try to lay off those of us who choose to live a little before we do.
Late 90's, I heard all sorts of stuff. The one that really stands out was a girls basketball coach who was in town for a tournament on the phone with a prostitute, talking to her about the need for discretion.
So perhaps these 4chan-ers who think disproportionate punishment appropriate should themselves experience some disproportionate punishment - e.g., handcuffs court dates, court costs, and jail time - Book 'em, and see how funny they & their parents think it is then.

Just because you want to punish someone for 'breaking a social contract' does not give you free license to become judge, jury, and executioner with any penalty you feel like at the moment.

The next step to that is maybe we feel like they are irredeemable sick f*ks already showing strong dark triad traits, and society is better off without them, so off with their heads. Since we can all dish out whatever penalty wwe feel like when we feel wronged, no problem, right?

In our experience, BitBucket had a lot of issues the past year or so, mainly with Pipelines & hooks frequently being down (daily at some point for more than an hour at a time). They recently seem to have solved this issue - but I sometimes still have to wait a minute or 2 before a pipeline is started or merge is completed, quite frustrating. We're considering a switch to GitHub.

Ps. Interesting how a post from 1 hour ago with 4 points has managed to appear on the frontpage. Has HN changed their algorithm?
I'll play the devil's advocate. Most people will shoot support e-mails at you which are more or less "app crashes". If you have not already encountered the problem you have to walk them through tedious debugging process. If you collect crash reports, you have probably already fixed the problem.

For usage data, it allows developers to focus on features that matter and know which ones you can remove.

For example I don't collect any data in my app, but it also means that I fear removing any features that are slowing me down, because I have no idea about how people use it.

As for why sometimes this would be better as opt-out, well, on iOS crash reports are opt-in, and only about 20-30% of users have them enabled. That is fine for huge programs or ones with little surface.
And companies outside India would further think twice before doing any business in india. Its not as if India has a stellar reputation for enabling global countries to invest in India.

This is a bigger issue than it appears and both sides can lose big based on the outcome.
Restrictive firewall (or unsharing to an empty network namespace) helps with non-malicious apps - no network access except for apps that may need it.

Anyway, tracking on Linux by normal userspace apps is just creepy. There's just too much access if you run these kinds of apps under your main user or let alone root, unlike browser based tracking that happens inside a limited sandbox.

The issue with AI safety and unanticipated AI outcomes in general is that it’s always just a cock-up with incentives.

It’s easy to sort out in narrowly specified areas, but an extremely hard problem as the tasks become more general.
> but simply due to no knowledge that it exists.

If it’s so important to the project the devs can ask users, educate them, and receive informed consent. There are plenty of ways a dev can force a user’s attention for a few minutes to hear their “pitch” and if the users still don’t want to opt in after hearing the reasons perhaps the reasons aren’t nearly as compelling as the devs believe them to be.
Poke any notable Soviet science and technology figure and see if they have KGB in their biography.

Soviet R&D wasn't structured within end users but was own network of research institutes and design bureaus. So if you wanted to work say on solid state rockets you wouldn't go to artillery school but rather something like Central Scientific Research Institute of Heat and Mass Exchange. There you'd be working for tactical rocket stuffings for the rest of your life, have a certain academic career track and as a perk have an occasional international publication with peripheral results.
I'm pretty skeptical of the "couldn't be made today" tropes. Some types of films have gone out of style. And there probably are cultural/ethnic stereotypes that would have been mostly considered funny by many audiences that would be more broadly seen as just offensive today.

But I'm not sure how many things are really outright taboo. For example, I've also heard people say that Heathers couldn't be made today--can't be threatening to blow up a school--but it was actually staged as an off-Broadway musical not all that long ago.
The headline seems misleading. Isn’t the reduction possibly caused as much by easing of restrictions as by the Delta variant?

May be you are right. My understanding of Jobs way of thinking is "product/user" first. In the context of a Desktop user interaction is not touch oriented. User interface must give options with minimal cognitive overload. Translating iOS to Desktop is serving only the vertical integration of Apple.
Implementation is everything. I don't have any doubt that under Jobs the results of this process would be better.
>But... every study comparing the two has shown the opposite."

That's because it tests for IQ goals (like selling more stuff), not EQ goals (like whether you and others feel connected, stable, etc).

The first comment hits the nail on the head "My question is why was emotional intelligence used in a study of sales and not in job fields, like say social work, where it is more imperative?".

Apparently those who designed those tests didn't have enough IQ (or EQ) to see this...

> [Ibn Khaldun] explains that ruling houses tend to emerge on the peripheries of existing empires and use the much stronger asabiyya present in their areas to their advantage, in order to bring about a change in leadership. This implies that the new rulers are at first considered 'barbarians' in comparison to the previous ones. As they establish themselves at the center of their empire, they become increasingly lax, less coordinated, disciplined and watchful, and more concerned with maintaining their new power and lifestyle. Their asabiyya dissolves into factionalism and individualism, diminishing their capacity as a political unit.

i don't think the fork maintainers intend to do active development. i assume they intend to stay up-to-date with upstream, with only enough modifications to remove the tracking code. as for legitimacy, there really is no question that the fork is within the rights of the license.
Yes, indeed. Sometimes the disincentive is just as important as the incentive in determining the outcome!
> There's no way this is profitable

No way? That's an overstatement. What if the real estate is a lot cheaper because it's well outside the city in an industrial zone?

And what if this operation is large and efficient enough to service a population x10 the size of a similarly sized supermarket with just a handful of technicians (and an army of delivery people...).
I've found so much useful information on small github projects belonging to random people who published their work for no apparent reason that I've lost count.
First off, there is no established standard as to what is correct or incorrect in AAVE. It is like other dialects in America, such as Appalachian English or Louisianan English. It’s also not spoken by a large percentage of African Americans.

Secondly, I really don’t know what you are trying to argue for. AAVE is an interesting dialect and something that makes America a richer place, just as all the other dialects do. That doesn’t make it equal to the common established standard, just like Appalachian English or Louisianan English are not “official.” Especially when these dialects have nowhere near the level of historical or cultural development and influence that standard American English does. What literature is there in Appalachian English? What movies? What historical documents?

Do you understand why treating every dialect as equivalent to the standard one is an extremely unwieldy thing to do? Are we to treat every new dialect that appears as completely equal to the standard historical language?
I disagree with "have to publish source on anything it touches" . Electronic Arts used WebKit in multiple games and they only had to share changes they did to it, not the source codes for all their games.

As a side effect they had to publish their incomplete implementation of STL that was adopted by multiple other studios as it was so much faster and less memory fragmenting than alternatives.

>Most people are just repeating something they've heard, and couldn't analyze the merits of a claim if they wanted to.

This is something I have thought about a bit over last several years. A lot of people I trust to have good intentions seem to regularly indulge in untruths or exaggerations to rile up support for their cause.

One particular example that comes to mind is how pretty much all liberal voices (including nobel peace prize winner Kalyan Sathyarthi) spread lies about a child labour bill in India that was passed in 2016. All of them were saying in unison that this bill was weakening the existing child labour laws and will allow all sort of child exploitation. So, I decided to read the bill and the original act that the bill was supposed to amend. I was stunned. There was absolutely no truth to the claims. The bill was actually making the child labour law much, much more stringend and I, even with my programmer in bug-fixing mode brain, couldn't conjure up a single hypothetical scenario where a child was forbidden from working earlier would now be allowed to work. So why were all these people lying? Why would Kalyan Sathyarthi, of all people, who has saved hundreds of thousands of children from child labour and trafficking, lie about something that pertains directly to his life's work?

The only explanation I could think of is that perhaps the law didn't go as far enough or didn't include certain amendments as they wanted and this was their way of pressurizing the government to listen to them. But that still left a bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps this is something my brain, trained to value truth above everything else, isn't quite mature enough to understand.

Own your data or quit gripping when this happens.

On my phone I keep all my personal stuff in git with the remote set to my desktop (it has a public IP) over ssh. My photo stream is just rsynced occasionally over ssh.

Not having to deal with this is arguably even more convenient provided your OS vendor doesn't intentionally get in the way.
Seems like a completely absurd situation, I wonder how bad and urgent it must have been for the developers to come to the conclusion that this is a good idea.
>Afaik, they don't run on azure anymore.

Some text to complement the videos.

>It is impossible to conclude with a balance sheet of plusses and minusses which would add up to a final decision on the creole origins issue. To my mind, there is enough persuasive evidence in these data to suggest that AAVE did have some creole roots. The very fact that copula absence is widespread both in AAVE and in mesolectal creoles, but not in White Englishes outside of the American South (where it can be argued that Whites adopted the speech patterns of Blacks) strongly suggests that at lest some of the predecessors of modern AAVE arose from a restructuring process similar to that which produced the English-based creoles.The fact that the constraint hierarchy for following grammatical environment is so similar across the vareties shown in table 16 further reinforces this conclusion.43 The fact that AAVE varieties which might be considered closer to their creole origins on historical grounds (18th century varieties, Samaná) also behave more like creole varieties in some respects (for instance in permitting some deletion of first person am and/or in permitting some degree of past tense copula absence) is also a plus for the creole origins hypothesis.

This seems dead on arrival, because Homebrew (as they reference on-page) by necessity contacts a wide array of remote addresses, giving away the user’s IP repeatedly as part of normal operation. That conflicts with redefining “track” to be different from the original meaning in the DNT header, to now extend to include any remote network connections at all - not just “do not compile a user profile from this network connection” but instead “do not divulge the existence of a user”.

If this had restrained itself to the definition of tracking used by the original failed DNT effort, I might think very highly of it, but attempting to shoehorn the more stringent “offline by default” viewpoint into the framing stolen from DNT makes this proposal unlikely to be widely adopted.

It’s really unfortunate that this good technical idea was combined with that overreach, as once the idea is rejected by others for going too far, any similar idea will likely be rejected without consideration. Oh well.

Tangentially, do all the adblock extension users realize that their IP address is constantly divulged by all the rules updates their extensions are running in the background? This proposal would, if fully implemented through the entire software stack, result in browsers launched on the user’s machine refusing to allow any background network connections, which would break all ad blockers as they depend critically on that behavior. I’m not convinced that users prioritize “don’t divulge my IP address” over “block ads”, which seems to be a conceptual nail in the coffin of overreach here.
God forbid I care about other people!

Peace upon your head
This advice was for custom rules for a team, so it's about enforcing what the team has already agreed upon and understood the trade-offs, not anything the tool decided upon on its own and imposes on the team.
I think a major takeaway here is that balancing a reward system to reward more than a single behavior is really hard - it's easy to tip the scales so one behavior completely dominates all others. It's an interesting lens to use to look at the heuristic reward system humans have built in (hunger, fear, desire, etc). This tends to have an adaptation/numbing effect, where repeated rewards of the same type tend to have diminishing returns, and that makes sense because it protects against "gaming the system" and going for one reward to the exclusion of all others.

> Australian English is correct in Australia and incorrect in America

Then how come, in the US, Australians are not stigmatized and pressured into speaking Standard American English? Because, well, they're not. If anything, there's an expectation that people who work with Australians make an effort to understand their variety of English.
The idea is lean towards doing no transformation before loading into your Target Database/Datawarehouse. Do all transformations after the data hits your target database. DEV time is expensive, storage and CPU is cheap now. DBs and DWs are blazing fast now.

You can still only pull the data that you need using Meltano, but you select things on a "Stream" / "Attributes" level. For source DBs this means something like Table and Field level is as granular as you get.
Because terabytes is a good frame of reference for most computer users. I get paid well to work in the computer space and if I saw 8 exabytes, I'd have to consult a chart/list to just determine how much that is.

Most people don't know what an exabyte is. That's why you frame the amount of data in an amount of data (terabyte) that people know.
I am not sure I agree with the conclusion that every one is responsible. In this case it would be better handled by Spring. And not by every single programmer that has to work with it.
Quantum cryptography is much less convenient than conventional asymmetric cryptography and offers few benefits. Doesn't stop people from trying to sell it though...

Humidity is the killer at those temperature ranges. Here we got a bit of a micro-climate because of large bodies of water and whenever temperature goes past 25ºC it's already highly uncomfortable, whereas 25ºC in other parts of the country, even the ones known as hot, is rather comfortable. Just a couple kilometers north, 35ºC are barely noticeable in comparison, even under the sun. (Sure makes your skin burn with all the fury of Helios, but it doesn't make you dizzy and tired like a high humidity area does at much lower temps)

Our highest registered temperature was an exceptional peak of 52ºC for two days. Was a bit of a massacre, specially on elders. There's no record of those days publicly for some reason, but all locals remember it well.

The high humidity saturation seems to negatively affect evaporation of sweat, making you constantly drenched even with no clothes on. It's a kind of hell you can't escape, only hope it passes soon.

I find libgccjit also way more clear and easy to use than LLVM for code compilation and execution. There is not to many functions to keep track off. The 'goto' centric code generation is nice to wrap your head around.
Thanks for your comment. The whole field of run-time monitoring is concerned with this problem. It's a tough one to crack when the distribution changes are subtle, but you can and should at least check simple data attributes for consistency.

To me, using a Password Manager puts you at risk, no matter which one you use. I cannot speak to windows, but on Linux, I use a encrypted text file via emacs. And to generate passwords:
