The point of GP is that the grand PR campaign doesn't really state it's an unfinished product and that they are looking for free testers and security and legal audits.
For me one of the joys of this, and of many Twitter jokes, is the way many people can play.

I think the Infinidash thing was especially rich because there were so many ways you could engage with it. Are we making fun of tech hype? Of recruiting? Of AWS's amorphous and ever-growing blob of offerings? Yes, yes, yes. And so much more.

How in the world would that work? If I want to connect from my computer to my local hard drive over the network, I need to use a blockchain to do it?

Unless they meant DNS on blockchain which actually does make some sense, but that's very different from replacing TCP/IP with a blockchain.

Yeah, I often do dummy commits with half-baked work just for fear of losing it. I don't work as a programmer so it doesn't really affect other people, but I don't see a way around it to be honest.
Yes, going to answer the same thing, you don't provide sources.

Green hydrogen is difficult to make because of low energy efficiency, which I agree, would be solved with nuclear since nuclear provides a lot of green energy.

Platinum is required for fuel cells, please do a research or provide sources or explain.
Amazing what people can read from a comment. Notice that I said ER has long ceased to be useful and not that ERs are useless. May be the subtlety in the difference is only in my state of mind as I wrote the comment. But, what I meant to say was that for a vast number of genuine ER cases that come in, even with triage prioritization, the care is delivered later than it should because of the number of non emergency cases clogging up the system. Most people I saw in the ER the other day had non acute symptoms, (while I cannot really say anything without knowing their medical history, the fact that most people were munching on takeouts or vending machine food and seemed to have been there for hours tells me the symptoms are probably not acute. Their circumstances may be such that ER is the only place they can go to, but that is a different problem.
I think that's a consequence of rebasing. If you just merge instead, you can use the branching/merging to get a sense of complete features/changes.
I wouldn't mind if someone that understood this was involved in the PR review flow development of Github. Because that is clearly not the case.

> Why should the least well off in society be part of a crypto-coin whose supply has been given to early adopters and insiders?

First, it wasn't given, it was largely earned or purchased at market price (in the cases of PoW, Proof of Burn, and ICO, for example). Second, they don't have to be, they chose to be (or not).

> I wish there would be more debate about the equity of a cryptocurrency amongst the tech community.

There's equity of opportunity, as in any free market.

There's no need to discuss this at all, IMO.

How come noone feels strongly about fiat money given to Wall Street, or deficitary budget spending that benefits any particular group(s)? They haven't even created anything, and they benefit from it every year by stealing from others.

That is 100 times worse because it's outright theft and taxpayers, savers and holders of the currency have no choice but to participate. And you want to debate forced crypto-giveaways, or how to replicate this corruption to the world of cryptocurrencies. Unbelievable.
I wonder how they deal with the "bisect" flow? I use git bisect a lot and can't imagine how it would go with every WiP commit... (my answer: an unusable nightmare). Good luck with that.

Both AWS and GCP allow you to customise a machine's spec. You're not limited to the ones they offer.
Agreed and also it is valuable to not have a total monoculture. It's helpful to have people out and exploring other ways to do things.
All physical evidence points to the universe containing some fixed amount of entropy which puts an upper bound on the complexity of any simulation you could embed inside it.

Given this, the claim that we're at the bottom of some large or infinite stack of simulated universes would have to also assert that the containing universe is fundamentally different than our own, which moves the claim from the realm of merely unfalsifiable to convoluted.

When I see people like musk make the argument for the universe being simulated I can't help but see those arguments as a sophomoric reach for whatever model of reality feels "coolest" at the time; evidence be damned.
Carbon in the atmosphere is cumulative. Shutting down for one day a week just means accumulating at a slightly slower rate. We need to shut down carbon emission 7 days a week.

Syria was a half-hearted involvement? So sponsoring insurgencies to destabilize a sovereign country would have been good if only the government was also toppled? Iraq? The whole ISIS genocide rape torture destruction and blood letting thing was slightly inconvenient but I'm sure the people of these places will thank the enlightened noble Europeans and Americans for their gracious aid.

I would suggest not continuing to fall for it. It's not that war and intervention can't ever do "some" good. It's that the people behind wars and interventions are never interested in actually helping people. It's purely for money and power.
Computing Performance on the Horizon

You can lose money staking too, in exactly the same way. The staking reward needs to be greater than the return of whatever else you could have invested your money in instead. If the staking reward ends up being lower, then you are effectively losing money. Just like how when mining in a PoW coin, you are effectively losing money if the coin reward becomes less than the electricity cost. It's no different from that perspective.

It is a "fundamental law" in both PoW and PoS that you get rewarded for doing the work/staking. I don't really understand your point about the US constitution -- what I am saying is that PoS systems minimize the effect of the "rich getting richer" as much as possible by forcing it to be at most a linear effect. Whereas there is no need to include such language in the US constitution at all.
I didn't see it as such. It felt more like the approach that Fossil has towards maintaining history vs what Git has.

I don't quite think it's a race to be won.
As an outsider I found it funny that people were so up in arms about trump lying during the campaign, when it was perfectly obvious that he was signalling to his base that he was not one of the hated insiders, not a political correct person or a democrat. The loathing of him by the establishment helped him, it didn't hinder him.

As for fact checking, well with the attempts to stump out the Biden Laptop story and the ban on anybody thinking loud about the lab leak theory, we should assume that political fact checking cannot be neutral.
You're right, it's not. And the only way to make it halfway palatable, the so-called "blue" hydrogen, is to do carbon capture and sequestration during steam methane reformation.

However, for more than a decade, fossil fuel companies have said carbon capture and sequestration will be easy, and then failed to execute on any of their industrial size projects. Plus, what is that captured carbon used for? Extracting more fossil fuels. Plus the sequestration requires transporting carbon long distances, and somehow making sure that the sequestration lasts on geological time scales.

So any mention of methane for hydrogen should raise huge red flags and discredit that path. There's only one path for hydrogen in the future, and that's electrolyzers, and making them go through exponential price drops over the next two decades.
Handy Guide to Large-Scale Web Application Development
How to Design a Large-Scale Application?

1⃣Verify the need for scaling and manage expectations: make sure that your expectations of scaling justify the expenses.

2⃣Apply metrics to define your scalability challenges: decide what scalability issues you need to focus on. Track the following metrics:
- Use of CPU
- Use of memory
- Network Input/Output
- Disk Input/Output

3⃣Choose tools for evaluating metrics and further monitor scalability: some examples are AppDynamics, Stackify Retrace, and New Relic AMP. Perform tests for the above-mentioned metrics.

4⃣Choose the right infrastructure options for scalability: using a PaaS for a web app is recommended. You can also consider AWS, Heroku, IBM Cloud, or MS Azure.

5⃣Choose an architecture pattern that will suit your app's scalability: it matters to choose the right one, as some features of your app will depend on its scalability.

6⃣Choose the right database to scale: choose the database based on the data types you need to store.

7⃣Choose a scalable application framework: application frameworks support graphical user interfaces and web-based application development.

True. The technical definition of a blunder on lichess and chess.com is that it puts you in a losing position. You can blunder further while in the losing position. And your opponent can blunder which puts them in the losing position, only to be reversed by your blunder.

A mistake is like a blunder but you're still winning, but it could be a blunder in a worse position. An inaccuracy is a bad move that doesn't cost you.

This actually helps with decentralization since there are usually multiple exchanges and it's very rare for 1 exchange to hold more than 10% of all tokens.

iOS Design System – Colours
People in tech are constantly chasing the next big thing, but honestly I feel like most of the major software paradigms have been discovered , things like website UX, AI etc are already at the state of maximum effectiveness and "innovation" is basically just a way of locking in devs who want to learn something that's "industry standard." Look at all the pointless wheel spinning created by having multiple large JS frameworks. The real efficiency gains most organizations are going to see from technology is in integrating their engineering/tech infrastructure side with the rest of the organization, simple stuff like teaching people to use Ipython notebooks instead of PowerPoints and spreadsheets.
Why? It would be better, I frequently commit in.

This way it is even easier to find the offending commit, because changes are smaller (yes, sometimes not working at all).
Flake8 Alphabetize will just give you warnings about import order, whereas isort will actually change the code itself.

So as I see it there are two types of tool, formatters and checkers. A formatter doesn't alter the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). In other words it doesn't alter the meaning of the code, just how it looks (eg. the formatter Black). A checker on the other hand looks only at the AST and just gives warnings in your editor, and then it's up to you to change it or not.

The import order is fixed in the AST, so it falls outside the scope of Black (which never changes the AST). So I felt there was a need for a tool that worked as a checker that just gives warnings in your editor if your imports don't conform to PEP8, and hence Flake8 Alphabetize.

It's worth mentioning that Flake8 Alphabetize follows Black's philosophy of having only one way of doing things, so a project can standardise on Flake8 Alphabetize and everyone's imports will look the same.

Anyway, any feedback is welcomed:-)

Actually it depends on the type of a game, maybe we're in an equivalent of a huge Hypixel server with us being players and animals being NPCs. Occasional admin interventions are perceived as UFO abductions and generally laughed at...

One particularity of this game is that there is no pre-existing set of universal rules: you are getting to know them from your parents, other people, "holy" and less holy books etc. - and even when you die you can never be 100% sure that the rules you learned were the ones to follow.

It's not the algorithm that's copyrighted. It's the source code that implements it.
Great recommendations all around. It'd be nice if they went into how they handle dealing with C extensions, as that adds a large amount of complexity to a Python project, and most of the published advice on the topic is quite old.

EDIT: Mentioning `pyproject.toml` and the relevant PEPs would also be great (i.e. PEP 621, PEP 517, etc.). Fortunately Poetry is compliant with these PEPs.
That's like saying "Long ago X said he didn't eat cruise ship buffet food, so I never do that either when I'm on a cruise. I don't feel my cruise ship experience has suffered as a result"

So you've reviewed all these looting videos and think that somehow gives you a better perspective on its extensiveness than someone who actually lives in this city? If this is seriously your perspective then there's no point discussing anything further with you.

As for "both directions", YES, it is. Educate yourself by reading about the Shomrim and their history of assaulting random people of color.

You're also examining a statistic that is effectively ethnic proportion of hate crime convictions, which is orthogonal to per capita violence or "severe social dysfunction".

My point in this subthread is that people complaining about "severe social dysfunction in liberal-run cities" are actually just complaining about large US cities in general, because literally every large city in this country leans left.

One thing that PoW has for it is this idea of "something outside the system". In essence the miners are somewhat economically forced to sell their mined coins in order to rent the energy/mining-rigs. Hence helping with re-distributing the wealth across the network - presumably in a very fair fashion since it's the free market (exchanges).

In PoS this re-sell doesn't happen. Once you are chosen to mine a block (because of your stake) you mine it and that's it. You're not incentivized to redistribute your coins. You can hoard them because you don't have to rent any resources from outside the system.

I hate PoW energy consumption as well and I think that its purpose - literally competing to consume more energy - is quite horrible. But so far I don't think PoS offers the same properties as PoW: a fairer system to redistribute coins.

Per-capita emissions may be fair if it looked at where products are consumed, but in my experience the data only looks at emissions produced divided by population. Producer countries like China and especially Canada with their energy industry will look worse than they actually are because other countries have effectively outsourced their CO2 emissions to these countries.

I haven't touched Python in years, and just recently came back to it. I was very pleasantly surprised to see just how much Microsoft has improved the tooling in VSCode with the recent update (https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2021/05/11/vscode-...). I've only tinkered with it a bit, but it feels on par with the JS/TS experience in VSCode, which is surprising since those are native and have a more robust static types community.
Steps to create a perception of your product that your customers will love
The kernel uses a patch-based workflow. Someone sends a bunch of patches to a list, gets feedback, improves on the patches, and sends the new set of patches. This might have added patches to the set, or changes to the existing patches. Repository write access is not (generally) shared between developers.

This is a very, very different way of using git from how almost everyone else uses git.

> In the end anyone who has a cellphone supports climate change.

Correct. And to your point, China is building coal plants, not decomissioning them [0].

What people in the West fail to understand is that in order for society to improve (and currently, remain stable), you need cheap, reliable energy. Renewables—seemingly, the proposed alternatives (wind and solar)—are neither cheap nor reliable. They're also dependent on fossil fuels to be produced (and shipped, and cleaned, and de-iced, etc).

One of the best things you can get behind if you really want to see CO2 emissions drop—which, if you dig into the data, a lot of it is based on models, not observations (which are dramatically below the models) [1]—is to promote nuclear energy and domestic manufacturing.

The former is near carbon-free (in operation) and produces ample energy (and modern solutions are both safe and have limited/reusable waste). The latter promotes both national stability (people have jobs) and reduces unnecessary emissions in other countries and for transport of goods.
