My org has about 500 repos split across 3 orgs. There’s a “main” org, an OSS org, and then splinters for people who are willing to pay for and manage their own.

For the main org, we have templates that projects typically follow where they include info in the readme for what group and individuals manage and we require that they add a tag for the specific center and encourage tags for projects.

So it’s sort of possible to search for a tag within the org to see all the projects but it’s janky and confusing.

Some groups create “housekeeping repos” that is just a repo with docs that link out and describe all their projects. They use repo instead of wiki as GitHub wikis are kind of a pain to manage (must have specific permissions and can’t just fork and send a PR). So that group uses the housekeeping repo as the link they give out to new team members, etc.

For the OSS org projects, we also have a portal repo that builds a github.io portal site that shows cards for each repo and allows searching and sorting. The OSS org doesn’t use the tagging scheme because the public doesn’t really know or care about our internal org names. We have about 175 projects in our OSS org.

Note, we also run GitLab community edition internally and actually have subgroups and stuff. But since GitLab requires internal network access GitHub use is growing since GitHub is in the cloud and doesn’t require VPN. The GitLab license costs are much higher than GitHub and not really compatible with our dev style. We have lots of non-devs and the ratio is probably 3:1 of non-dev:dev and GitLab makes us license everyone the same so we can’t pay $1000/year so a PM can update readmes and project cards.
obligatory reminder that prices didn't increase 5.4% in june as the headline might suggest, the 5.4% figure is only year-over-year. The BLS summary describes it better:

>In June, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 0.9 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis; rising 5.4 percent over the last 12 months, not seasonally adjusted.
how much of an impact do you think road fatalities and slightly different infant mortality counts has on an entire countries life expectancy? I would wager it does not come close to accounting for the massive discrepancy between the US and every other developed country.

I also point out that any of us will be replaced fairly quickly if we were to drop dead suddenly too; but for whatever reason this logic only ever crops up when people are thinking about taking more time off rather than less.
If you are short on memory, sure. 100k times 10 mb for example is just 1 TB, an order of magnitude or two less than what bigger x86 servers take.

As an HPC sysadmin who's helping a lot of people, I do both, selectively.

We're very helpful as a team, but this helpfulness is being abused by some people after certain point. You need to distance yourself from these people and tell them to RTFM and do their homework first.

Otherwise I can neither do my work or help anyone else.
Overcommunication for Remote Teams
But he wasn't out-cycling anyone, Le Tour is a series of short (by comparison to a full day of riding) one day races that happen to change location each day, not a single race (supported or not).

This Alt Tour thing would have to be compared to unsupported ultracycling events, where everybody is proper bonkers and this performance wouldn't stand out much. And compared to what happens at supported ultracycling, well, the RAAM is yet another different world entirely.

> My point is that the myth that unvaccinated people are the part of the population creating enhanced variants is false.

Incorrect. By logic, 95% (or whatever % you want) of the vaccinated population will not catch virus. As such, virus cannot evolve in them. Logical right?

This is what they study says.

> ... anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission ...

The vaccines we have PREVENT transmission with various effectiveness. The vaccine in study did NOT. Since viruses could still infect vaccinated chicken, it evolved.
>> It's a pity it's called "TeXmacs" when, as you say, it really has no connection to TeX

Yep. It sounds like something that ties emacs and LaTeX together. That's not something I'd even want to look at, and have not for exactly that reason. My goto math tool is Maxima, but I don't write so typesetting isn't a thing for me - it does support MathML though IIRC.
> but not enough to be usable

I actually don't understand this part. Trying to remove their external dependencies seems reasonable, but how would making them bad help?

A part of it is surely dark patterns to keep users engaged (i.e. the limited comment depth), but some of it just looks incompetent to me.
One thing that I would like to see is a clone of SciHub that allowed new submissions. SciHub is not accepting submissions because the founder is waiting for the results of a process in India. This could take many years.

Of course, the persons who make a clone will have to be brave, because they will face the same problems that Alexandra Elbakyan has faced.
Perhaps a simpler way to control would be comparing the trend to the trend of nginx/apache or some other similarly widely used mature tech.
The Tour is a little over 100mi/day, up to 6hr /day.

This Alt Tour was 200mi/day, 12hr/day

You'd need more precise bookkeeping to calculate how impressive his speed was, but his endurance is incredible.

A confounding factor is that at high speeds going a little faster takes a bunch more energy/biological resources (both wind and biomuscular effects), which counteracts some of the peloton advantage.
I could be convinced that demanding to be removed from Google index is legitimate. But it's also not what newspaper want: they want to be indexed and be paid for it, no way for Google not to take the deal. That's state-supported extortion to me.
I remember there was some guy who programmed a YouTube Instant search after Google rolled it out on their search. The then YouTube CEO reached out and offered the guy a job. I can see this happening here, this is really impressive. But, it would have been even better if clicking play would result in a rick roll.

Honestly the official Netflix site seems to perform similarly to your implementation in terms of number of files it downloads and the size of files.

One thing I found was when emulating mobile screen size I wasn't able to horizontally scroll with my track pad. It works on Netflix though. I'm betting you'll find 100+ of those 'small' things with user testing across different OS/browser combinations.
> Saying that the virus is dangerous doesn't make the vaccine safe in the long term. You might be right, but you have no basis to suppose it's safe in the long run. You are just betting it because tv told you so.

I'm not supposing it's safe in the long term. I'm supposing _nothing_ about the long term because we don't have that information. Maybe it is not safe in the long term. We'll find out some day I guess. Maybe it will lead to unexpected health _benefits_ in the long term? Who knows? So why would you weigh the potential dangers over any other potential advantages of taking it?

Anyway here are two serious questions to you:

1. Specifically how long is long enough before you'd consider the vaccine safe (compared of course to all the problems that can be caused by not taking the vaccine).

2. Do you feel ashamed allowing your fellow citizens to take on this potential risk and you forgoing when it helps end the pandemic for you and them? (Feel free to ignore this question if you are vaccinated, but are just being argumentative.)
There was a similar project to `go fix` with elm-upgrade (https://github.com/avh4/elm-upgrade). We migrated a ~100k LOC app at work from 0.18 to 0.19 and while it was tedious, the compiler really has your back and makes it easier.

We weren't bit by the removal of native/kernel code, but it definitely turned a lot of people away that may have been committed to Elm before.
This assumes moving money is hard, when it really is not. If you go for such an effort and risk visibility why not just go with some shell companies, crypto or investments that arent bound to end up in every second newspaper?

>I don't see this changing without fundamentally realigning incentives in academia.

I think the corruption in science is a manifestation of Goodharts law. People started to believe everything with the science label blindly. Like if something that starts with "research has shown", then it must be true (now it is "overwhelming evidence"). And whenever that happens, what ever the label is, tends to get bought. (This is why we have toothpaste commercials with people in lab coats).

So the long term solution is to actually decrease the trust of people in "science", the label. Then it will come to a point that just the label of science is not enough to sway the people. Then it has a chance to progress, un-disturbed by these corrupting forces.

He's riding a completely different ride. He isn't riding it for time per se but rather amount of days. Yellow Jersey at the tour de france rides for total elapsed time. Completely different levels of work involved.

For example - it says Morton was riding for 12 hours a day. Same riders on tour would be doing that ride in significantly less time. A completely different ride and bicycling capabilities.

I'm not diminishing what he has accomplished (which is awesome) just pointing out the differences.

For example:
Sepp Kuss who won the stage the other day (https://www.strava.com/activities/5612150086) effort
vs the ride by Morton Lachlan (https://www.strava.com/activities/5595556740). Morton's riding a roughly different ride (same terrain but different set up) and riding by about half the speed and 30% more distance.
That seems like a reasonable thing to do. I don’t really see the problem, don’t they generally refer to that as ‘street value’ anyway?

Besides, what could they have done similarly in this case? Why would they not just be referring to the current spot value of the currencies?
I disagree

The whole point is having everything

a) in the context of the feed
b) stripped of extraneous crap

Opening links in new tabs accomplishes neither of those things
I’m still studying this, but IIUC that’s only a problem when you and the other party both launch the paper plane at 500c relative to your own reference frames, and (separate thing I might have misunderstood) “no preferred frame” is because Occam’s razor says GR doesn’t need one rather than because such a frame would be incompatible with observations.

(Again I may have misunderstood, but the frame of the CMB sometimes gets talked about as if it might be a preferred frame).
He lived to be 101 too. There's probably a lesson in that.
It's the unfortunate case that they succumbed to schedule pressure. This is similar to the Space Shuttle Challenger decision that led to catastrophe.

I think "lying" may be too strong of a word, but they were certainly incentivized to believe it was just a modification of an existing airframe. If I remember correctly, Boeing was essentially told by an airline that if they don't come up with a design quickly the airline would instead move their business to airbus. Certifying a modification to an existing design is much faster than certifying a brand new design, so every management decision was made with that lens. Add to it the political side where the competitor is a non-US company and it gets more complicated. Add to that the FAA is likely too understaffed to provide adequate oversight so they instead delegate it to the manufacturer.

This will be another case study in misaligned incentives and the tradeoffs of engineering decisions under uncertainty of both business and design risk.

One of our devs built a portal that does this that I think is easier to use than the normal GitHub search, http://cdcgov.github.io

I think most teams just know their repos and go to a small set of projects so don’t spend a lot of time browsing the org trying to find stuff.
How is it cliche? Phychology has a well known issue with replication. Is that not worth discussing? There was actually a ton of info in this thread that you wiped.

I don’t see how your comment attacking me clears the bar you claim exists here. I can’t call this pseudoscience but you can call me cliche? That’s a blatant double standard. You’re a mod, you shouldn’t even be commenting.

I also notice I was singled out for this flag even though others in this thread made the exact same point.
The article makes a bunch of assumptions but it does point, indirectly, at an interesting element. Ideology.

Empirical science via the scientific method is one thing. We can have a hypothesis, show through experimentation that the hypothesis is true or not in a repeatable manner, and come to understand what's going on.

For things that happening in the past we cannot do that. We end up doing forensic science where we mix observation with assumptions born out of beliefs (ideology). Sometimes there is no observation but there is beliefs that a scientific idea is true.

This second part is where we often end up with the divide. Yet, we don't talk enough about the assumptions and because they are often coupled to beliefs it's hard to let people with different beliefs run wild with their ideas.

I wish there was more discussion on the assumptions.
Yes it is harder when no one else is working for you, not sure though if he did a time trial (short days) or had rest days. He also doesn't have any SAG, which makes it much harder as he found out with his di2.
The problem with those metrics is they are laggy so may not show the trends being enacted today until a future date.

The 0.8 -> 1.4 may be a result of the hype cycle peaking, companies adopting a new tech, using it enough they need to hire people with it.

Or potentially now, companies not adopting this new tech with such a great rate because the hype cycle is over, graphql doesn’t get included in new projects, there’s no reason to hire someone for it in 6 months time.
For those who are in organizations that have near 500 repos, why do many? Is it shear size of the company, or is it organizing individual internal libraries into different repos (seems like good practice), or something else? I've only ever worked for small companies where we have max 5 real repos, and I work at a company with a mono repo right now.

Large scale systems are very interesting to me, but I have to say, I don't mind the mono repo.
That's the whole point, GraphQL is an alternative framework for composing APIs, so comparing it to REST makes sense.
lack of visibility? lol

that's not knowing how local news outlets gain their audience

how long until people stop defending X big company like google only because they own some of their shares?

it's no wonder China already outpaced NASA in their space missions

people in the west are defending the companies who hold them back only just to seek more profits

google has everything to loose here, they are not a news agency, they want to profit from other people's work

USA is a terrible place to grow a civilization, everything went downhill over there, China is a much better place
> No, not "observing your own past".

Being able to observe your own past is a given after FTL travel, and the most important thing: it's a given that relies on almost no assumptions about the deeper mechanics of the universe. If you instantly teleport to Alpha Centauri, you will be able to see your old Earth photons for years.

> Instead, your past self could observe your future self.

Now that statement (like the Tachyonic antitelephone) relies on some assumptions that we can't test yet. My hunch would be that either an as-of-yet unknown non-local temporal dimension (or synchronization mechanism) exists at the foundations of the universe, or that FTL travel is indeed impossible. One excludes the other would be my intuition.
More like slow down your response (to see if things won't sort themselves out) than do nothing.

The textual representation is known as the LLVM IR (the reference is at https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html).

I don't think that's fair. Google doesn't have to do anything for its US workers. They can work you to the bone, not pay for eggs to be frozen and tell anyone who gets pregnant to be back at their desk the same day or not come back.

The fact they choose to do anything shows at least some degree of decency. I'm sure there is a degree of calculation there too (we don't want to lose 30-something women who are skilled and well integrated because they want kids). But it's still positive and generous.

At a minimum they should do that, but that's honestly not good enough. They could decide not to sue a user of copilot if it produced MS code regardless of whether copilot produces infringing code in general. An indemnification for the customer in case of third-parties suing them over code produced by copilot is honestly the only way I could take Microsoft's position seriously.
