Just wantend to ask, in light of Google pulling an Apple in a couple months and preventing users from installing random APKs, is anyone working on a sideloading mechanism of some sort?

Assuming I understand what this is doing correctly, it does the reverse of a submodule.

git submodules let you tack a second git repo onto an existing one. For example repoA tracks `repoB@version1234` at path `/foo/bar/baz`.

This on the other hand lets you take monorepo and checkout `/go/mysubservice` as a "repo" and treat it as its own repo. Then when you do git pushes etc, it translates the changes into the larger monorepo.
Because Tesla investors need to be lied to that they have a unique edge over the incumbent manufacturers.

For incumbent manufacturers it is an all or nothing proposition. They have to abandon their ICE lineup. It looks like they are standing still because of that but the rate of change can actually be much faster than at Tesla because once they abandon their ICE lineups there is nothing but EVs left to manufacture and they will manufacture them at exactly the same rate they manufactured ICE vehicles.
before you act you got to believe. beliefs change the world.
Everybody is up in arms about this, but it makes sense. The difference between hiring the best CEO and the next best CEO might only be 0.5% growth but on a scale of billions that is still a lot of money. More importantly, the cost of hiring a bad CEO is that you can lose it all.

This means that CEOs with proven experience can drive up the price of CEOs drastically.

Meanwhile if you hire 1000 people to work in your stores you are going to get an average and getting a little better than average is what you can hope for, so individual workers cannot press the price up.
Casio calculators are awesome. It's great that in my country we use them (and their even cheaper counterfeits!) instead of some overpriced TI crap.
I doubt very many are directly on the take, but I think there's a lot of semi-conscious self-censorship and score / review disconnect that goes on at the well known sites, for all the talk of a hard wall between editorial and advertising. And there's a lot of "content" that is just very thinly veiled PR for an upcoming release. I also think there's a good deal of corruption and nepotism around stuff like the IGF and IndieCade, from my experience swimming in those circles (I did an MFA game design at NYU)

I was mostly just joking around, but I do think there are reliable ways of finding good games:

-look at player scores/reviews on Metacritic

-look for games with many reviews on Steam that have Very Positive or Overwhelmingly Positive ratings but that you've never heard of

-Tim Rogers (look, I kinda hate the guy too, but he's the real deal)

-More seriously (and this is the best option), blogs / Discord communities / Twitter walls of good indie devs like Michael Brough, Zach Gage, Terry Cavanagh, Stephen Lavelle, etc. Like, check out freeindiegam.es, or join Brough's Discord. I am old so I don't know the new waves but you could scroll through a few hundred listings on Itch, look up some Twitter accounts from there, and find them. Most of the very best stuff is of course not on consoles at all but on PC, web, and mobile
A contract isn't the signed piece of paper, it's a "meeting of minds", two legal entities (e.g. a corporation and a human) reach a common understanding in which things of value are exchanged. Working for money for example. In some places there may be a law explicitly requiring that for employment you're entitled to a piece of paper setting out the terms, but it remains the case that contracts of employment come into existence as a result of this meeting of minds not the piece of paper.

For example once when I was young I was hired by the following process. I see on the TV news that a chip fab I've worked in caught fire, damaging nearby buildings. There are a lot of fire engines but the blaze is under control. Then I get a phone call from a friend, "Mountbatten is on fire". "I saw that". "We're getting Zepler back tomorrow, once structural engineers sign off on it - can you be there 0900 sharp to salvage stuff and get the network back up?". "Can do. See you tomorrow".

No interview. No pieces of paper. No salary negotiation. But that's an employment contract, just some of the details not determined until later. I actually genuinely don't remember how long I worked that gig, it was a lot of fun although pretty different from what I do these days.

In court, forging evidence by relating a signature page to the wrong document so they can then lie to a court about it is not OK - their lawyers aren't going to want to have anything to do with that idea. Contrariwise, if you have an email back-and-forth, or even just a friend who remembers you talking about the change, you're in a good place because your story makes sense and the employer's story does not.

But mostly you aren't going to be in court. If you're confident the employer would try to actually fuck you over, and you're in the sort of work where you get to strike contract terms, walk away from that job. Nobody needs that.
Using something is different than providing good, and using something is different than finding "a use" for it.

I highly doubt it, considering the CEO's memo on the subject:

When I've made recommendations in the past it's usually because I understand the needs of both sides. It sounds like once I as a scout refer my top 10, you prospect them for all of your companies, not just one. Is that right? Also curious about pjam15's question about whether the people you recommend know that we were the ones that recommended them. Also, how do you know if my (or any other scout) has recommendations that are any good?
Any thoughts on what Americans consume more of that gives them more iron?
If you care to do your own search for why people like Twitter, I'm sure you can find reasons.

And, since apparently you need this spelled out, the reasons are quite dissimilar to the reasons "drugged up guys" would find explosives useful.
Great question. It is something which we ourselves asked quite a bit. Currently we don't vet the person who recommends. We leave that decision on to the companies we work with. We have found that credentials of the person who recommends ends up being important to the companies.
We also score the recommender if any of their recommendations ends up getting interviewed.
Wrt seeding, it's currently with a combination of personal networks and launches within niche communities.
Regarding growing, we have seen that a bunch of people who are recommended end up giving recommendations as well
It's a bit of a cynical take, but maybe it'll help cut useless apps and help people focus on what matters a bit more. A good thing about paying for something with money is that it makes you conscious of what you're doing. When you're paying with your data, it's harder.

It's absurd.

Let's tax electricity because people don't have brand new houses with proper isolation, that'll show them to not live in crappy houses. How dare they, right?
> On the other hand, when you get a solid signal the picture is amazing versus the standard-def of analog broadcasts. Add to this the benefit of multiple sub-channels on each broadcast channel and you get a lot more watching options.

Subchannels is kind of nice, but junky content with junky compression is worse than a more limited set of snowy channels. Now, when they do broadcast stuff with enough bandwidth, and you're above the cliff the whole time, it's nice.
Very informative. Basically they have reinvented an FPGA with fixed blocks...

> The idea of a compiler-based software solution embedded in an architecture would theoretically allow the Aptos processor to interpret workload instructions and distribute them across processing resources in such a way that the amount of work being parallelised is as close as possible to the theoretical maximum, whilst taking advantage of having much lesser architectural inefficiencies than instruction-based processors.

Whether there will be an instruction set, or not, you will have to have some kind of convention for the bitstream for the re-programmable logic, and very likely you will re-implement a kind of an instruction to do that with high level of efficiency.

Modern CPUs already all run microcode on some kinds of a programmable fabric in the front-end to give some degree of programmability for how the front-end, and back-end interact.

Is it their rainforest though? It raises some interesting philosophical and geopolitical questions. Paving the Amazon rainforest would almost certainty disrupt many things outside Brazil's borders.

My job is a cost center. They don't specifically ask for a github or any source code, not they will more often than not ask in the interview about side projects. I think they use it mostly to see that you can learn new things, have a creative mind, and other "cultural fit" things.

No, I don't because it's incredibly easy for people to type "benefits of Twitter" into the search engine of their choice.

Astoundingly, you're not the first person to imply that there is literally no benefit to Twitter whatsoever, despite the awesome ease of finding the benefits by typing two or three words into DDG. That doesn't change the facts though.

> a plausible path to shipping canned apes for a brief sojourn

The important part of that end is a much more economical tech for putting mass into orbit. I'd argue that is currently the single most effective thing that we can do toward becoming multiplanetary. Yes it still leaves a very long road ahead, but it's a bridge across an otherwise impassible chasm. A related Heinlein/Pournelle exchange:

Unfortunately, in Blowups Happen a capability for orbiting large payloads had been developed. "Aha," I said. "I see your problem. If you can get a ship into orbit, you're halfway to the moon."
"No," Bob said. "If you can get your ship into orbit, you're halfway to anywhere."
He was very nearly right.

> Do you mean per individual?

Yes, per individual.

The rich are housed in larger homes, travel more, consume more.

Of course it's a generalization of, let's say, the richer 5% or 10%, so of course it's not always true. But there is a good correlation between consumption dollars and emitted CO2.
Well what are they expecting, a guy so high he says yes?
I watched some documentaries on exactly this effect years ago and went full veggie because of it. Prior I would eat meat when I was out on special occasions but even that was not worth it.

This isn't how it works.

Every business tranches it's partners and customers, it's both fair and normative.

If you a a huge customer of XYZ, they're going to treat you differently than if you're not.

As long as they are acting within their own guidelines etc. then this is fine.

I think G. should probably give some notice for GPlay violations, but in my experience they do for these things.

If you don't have a 'Privacy' URL in your GPlay listing that's going to have been flagged for a while in my experience.
I am late to the response here but one of us is wrong about how grants work, and I think it might be you :)

An equity grant is an allocation of shares/options offered to you when you start. eg: join our company and get 40K shares. Vesting just controls how long it takes you to get those shares. In a 4 year vesting you get 10K each year. In a 1-year you'd get them all at once in 12 months.

This is independent of the share price, it's your equity that's the whole point. So in no universe is it better to get 40K after 4 years than it is to get 40k in one year.
I think the point being made is that the company shouldn't be making up legally binding agreements (the privacy policy) without consultation.
The only proper responses would be: "Not yet" or "Not anymore".
I am not aware of pushers and a drug problem among school age childeren in Groningen, do you happen to have sources? I can't remember a single article from the local paper.

The biggest issue discussed in Groningen is lachgas ( nitrous oxide ). And alcohol.

disclaimer: I haven't seen for myself what benefits monorepos actually provide so I don't fully grok them.

This is the kind of talk about monorepos that makes me think they are a bad idea. Why would someone want to maintain a monorepo and then pretend it's not a monorepo? Not only just pretend it isn't, but invest not-insignificant time on the problem of pretending it's not a monorepo?

I am immediately thinking of the horribleness of how some of the (older) javascript frameworks re-invented the back button (and browser history in general) instead of.. ya know, using the browser.
There is a difference between a game of skill that is rigged to be much harder to win than it appears and a game of chance. To use your carnival guns as an example, it is one thing for the sights to be misaligned. It is another thing to find out that the guns don’t actually fire pellets most of the time, and only allow a pellet to be fired based on some formula of how long it has been since anyone won the game. The same with the claw games. It is one thing to know that the claws are intentionally weak and lack grip and swing around to dislodge things. it is another thing to know the claw will not pick anything up until a set number of attempts. You can overcome a rigged game of skill by being more skilled. Hell, that is part of the appeal for some people. To figure out how a game is deceptively difficult, and to compensate for it. You can’t overcome of a game of “chance” that forces a certain number of plays.
Can only really speak for the conversations I had with people I know, who have access, and those that aren't willing to take it have varying reasons:

- dont want to pay for it

- sinovac is most widely available and the optics of "causing" the problem and providing the solution don't sit well with them

- dont really care, cant be bothered

- they want to wait for a couple more years when longer studies come out about any side effects

- already caught it and feel natural immunity is sufficient

- no one wants to take responsibility for any adverse events that may happen (employers are passing out documents they want employees to sign, before giving them free vaccines) and that scares them more since they haven't done anything like that with things like dengue, tb, hpv, etc…

I would say the solution is culture.

All individual developers should recognize and avoid things that lead to this state.

All or at least most should have a common sense of what is good and what is bad, what is attractive and elegant, what smells.

That is not something you can dictate. It has to be something the majority simply recognizes and agrees about, so that they create less of the bad things, and every new developer absorbs the same sense from their childhood googling, the examples set by indisputably valued projects, and school & co-workers.

Right now some of the most valued projects set some of the worst examples.

It has to be cool and admirable to be efficient and robust, and right now it's not.

There is just no way I see to bring this about. You can only do your own tiny part and wish for the rest of the world to improve. Unless you run google or other huge body of coders, you can't change the entire culture. It just changes over decades however it will.

I used my personal email to create an Apple Developer account. Then, when I stopped paying for that account - I was unable to use the free level Apple Developer services.

So now, I would have to setup a whole other Apple ID and configure that in XCode, Expo, etc. in order to just install a program on my own device.

I contacted Apple about this a few times but nobody I was able to get in contact with was able to help me and I don't even think they understood the issue to begin with.

Are emission limits calculated similarly for all countries.

Is it: calculate current emission, set allowance for next year as prev_year_emission * 0.99 (or some other reduction)?

This equation would need modifications for richer and poorer countries (which can't modernize so easily)

Is that similar to how those limits are set?

Or all all countries set to some arbitrary limits - that would explain those emission purchases.

Many of the mono repo guides I see are off the "all projects in one repository" kind. If the project doesn't build and deploy as an atomic unit, then having atomic code changes is a foot gun.

It is amazing how many times I've seen folks think that just because they can get build time tests happy with changes in two projects, that they can safely send out the two changes.

Does a multi repo "solve" this? Of course not. But it is easier to reason that two projects clearly need two deploys. Versus having to remember that one commit could be N project deployments.
Big cities may have more public charging stations, but I'd say they are possibly the least suited to EV ownership because if you live in an apartment and park on the street, you can't charge your car at home.
