That there are “special cases” such as “flight”, “parachutes” and “space travel” doesn’t invalidate the fact that - notwithstanding additional feats of engineering and expense - if you jump off this building you will break your leg.
also really thanks for discussing about CPU SIGNATURE specifically.
Where does this notion come from? You are seriously mistaken about how copyright works. Your example of ripping a game's soundtrack (and I assume distributing, as per the example we are discussing) is absolutely not OK.

Similarly, game assets tend to be copyrighted, and it doesn't really matter if you are "plopping into that level", or that it's "just the level assets". The copyright owners are entirely within their rights to request it be removed, and I'm sure would have a pretty good case if taken to court.

Inb4 anyone assumes that I dislike this project, or think it should be taken down, I can assure this isn't the case.

> Perth's metropolitan region in Western Australia has the largest percentage of underground power in the world.

I highly doubt that. Their government claims about 55% of houses has underground power. There's parts of Europe where they're easily up to 90%+. For example in the Netherlands only (part of) the high-voltage transmission network is above-ground, all house connections are underground.
Estate taxes can be avoided with trusts.
For the majority of people, the lack of FTP support would go unnoticed so it is easy to depreciate and remove. I wouldn't be surprised if the same happens to HTTP (in general) once a certain threshold has been reached for HTTPS. I also wouldn't be surprised if they start adding warnings about insecure transfer methods for particular file types at a much earlier date.

A landlord evicted you mid-stay without warning? That sounds extreme, and I'm having a hard time finding others who've experienced the same online (all of what I'm finding is around people being kicked out for parties). Do you have anything I can reference?

Asking because I'd feel like the burden in just about all cases is on the landlord to put everything in motion to evict a tenant (whether it be an airbnb user or the tenant subletting via airbnb), but I'm not an attorney.

Customer Problem Stack Rank
This question may be easier to understand in the general case: why don’t people do everything themselves?

Why don’t people paint their own houses? Why don’t people fix their own cars? Why don’t people sew their own clothes? Why don’t people cook their own food?

Of course a lot of people do do these things themselves! Just like a lot of people do use free and/or open source software tools.

But a lot of people don’t do these things, at least not all of them, and probably not all the time. If you can think of the reasons you pay for things you might be able to do yourself, you can start to understand why a business does too. It usually comes down to opportunity cost and specialization—answering the question “how is my limited time best spent?”
"I disagree" and "detracts from the conversation" have a lot of overlap. A (subjectively) very wrong take on a subject distracts from where you think the conversation should be heading.

On Reddit I see many comments, convincingly written, that are (imo) flatly wrong. These comments are potentially very harmful because they're persuading others of a falsehood. Am I supposed to upvote or downvote? (what I actually tend to do is not visit the site)
It's not later as 'old', it's later in the production pipeline.

If you fix a bug before production then you don't incur 'immediate corporate costs' and 'restitution costs' and the cost-to-fix is also lower the earlier in the pipeline the bug is found.
No one is trying to excuse them from blame.

We're discussing how to make this tactic less effective.

Because there is something disproportionate about sending multiple cars to respond to some guy just sitting in his house who didn't want to give up a twitter handle.

Also, I see nothing in the article about Herring being armed in general and especially nothing about him being armed during the encounter.

The fact of the matter is that the police had no clue as to the truth of the situation and responded based on nothing but a random phone call. That does have to stop.
It is true, a newspaper is curated. But it's not curated to me. My entire digital life is curated to me, so being able to dip my foot into literally anything else is a new experience.
You can force light themes instead and flip the colors in KWin. This will make text look worse than doing it in CSS, but it's basically free performance-wise.

australia has low vaccination rates, low immunity due to avoiding massive disaster last year and so is using (hopefully) short lockdowns again to extinguish the spread within the country.

There is no rule about how much is in an individual repo in a multi-repo setup. Sometimes multi-repo setups have more than one library in a repo.

Even if we take the one library example you have, the library has source file A.c and B.c (I'm using C as an example, but this should apply to any language). A is the main interface, with B helper functions. With a mono-repo it is easy for someone else to use B even though that is not supposed to be the interface, with a mutli-repo setup the interface to B isn't published, and so only A can get at it. Of course the point to this is if B.c is wanted as an interface you get notice of that need and can review the interface to make sure it is clean.

In a more complex variation of the above, related libraries in the same repo LibX and LibY can both use B.c, but libraries in other repos can't get at B.c.

Does this matter to you? That is your decision. In a simple situation it won't. In a complex project it needs to because complexity is the enemy.

Again, mutli-repo is only one possible solution to this problem. There are many ways to solve this problem, each with pros and cons. You need to figure out what is the best compromise for your situation, and then mitigate the cons to your choice. There is no perfect answer. I've touched on one a few of the pros and cons of them - and there are probably some that don't even apply to me but will to you.
What about explicit options? Instead of a single downvote, have multiple options like "not relevant", "factually incorrect", "disrespectful", ...

This might 1) guide users towards not using those buttons for "disagree" (they are explicitly something else) 2) get richer signals for both evaluating content/accounts and the quality of reviews from specific voters
When they are propagated in pursuit of national interests.
Other way around. They're not paid, so they want to keep the amount of unrelated contentious bullshit on their subreddit to a minimum. I've been a default sub mod and I know how much of a firehose that is. The simplest solution, and the smallest amount of work in total, is to nip unrelated discussions in the bud, delete entire comment trees, and lock the comment section entirely on a post that is (or is looking to) go south.

Users quickly learn that "we don't do that here", and stop.
As one big, falsifiable scientific hypothesis... not well. It wasn't all that strong to begin with, in this sense.

As a collection of fascinating ideas about the development of modern human consciousness... fantastically well. Modern ideas from all over the place: science fiction, human history, philosophy, spiritualism and even computer science have broadly moved closer to Jaynes' way of thinking.

One exception is his definition of consciousness. We still don't really have a single definition, and every "theory" tends to define it different. But overall, Jaynes' doesn't mesh too well with most current definitions. We're much more likely to consider animals conscious today, for example. You might substitute "introspective consciousness."

In particular, modern notions that "consciousness is a simulation/projection" work well with Bicameral Mind.
Fantastic insight! Thank you for your comment.
Up/downvotes always have multiple conflicting dimensions.

- The post is factually right / wrong
- Confirms to the site rules / breaks the rules
- I agree / disagree
- I want to promote / bury this post
- Reward poster with XP / punish

I am usually very pragmatic and upvote a post when I want other people to read it (because I want to see the discussion, or because I want to spread the idea). I also upvote to reward the poster.

I don't tend to downvote factually wrong posts when they are still interesting, because that limits the chance they get good discussion, and because I don't want to punish somebody for Being Wrong On The Internet. I do downvote positions that I find bad in order to reduce their reach.

It would be probably possible to have a site that implements two dimensions as a cross (maybe only for users with a certain XP) although the UX might not be to great. Maybe it is a good idea to have "promote/bury" and "reward" buttons?
The point is that it increases profitability of the utility (by expanding the rate base), and so the customers are paying for it. If they get some good publicity and it marginally decreases fire risk those are secondary benefits.
> I think it's important to be able to have controversial debates in real life, as body language and audience response seems to keep people from being truly awful.

This isn't really why people are awful. The truth is people want something to say, but most of the time their actual opinions are kind of boring and mainstream. So they end up roleplaying as individuals who have some heinous opinion, and revel in the attention they receive.

Some people are awful in different ways, by supporting someone who is regarded as terrible for instance. Eventually, little cliques form, and toxicity brews.
Absolutely not, but maybe they won't bother going after it.

If redistributing assets were legal, then FOSS recreations of game engines would not tell you to insert the original disk for the art assets.

As a software engineer who has been mostly focused on testing over the last few years and leading a team focused on this, it's clear to me now that balancing what's worth testing and what's not is a delicate art and very difficult to always get right.

I do believe that a common failure is not investing in adequate regression focused tests. I've been on projects were these were not in place and an update lost a company millions of dollars very quickly prior to being noticed in production, I've been on projects were delaying any further to release would have lost critical learning data during a period of time that could not be guaranteed to come again quickly (for example market volatility or turmoil).

The best engineers in my opinion love testing as much as building new features because they understand that production fire fighting is the least fun activity of all.

Quick plug, I believe solid test reporting makes the ROI on test development clearer. I'm founder at Tesults - a test results reporting app (https://www.tesults.com) and I'd love your feedback on it, send me an email if you have a moment.

Kubernetes is designed similar to the shell: the APIs are a uniform interface, designed for stabilization, while resources are composable and extensible through the it.

If you use the stable APIs, your code will run for decades. My hypothetical deployment from 2016 will not need touching (beyond image updates for CVEs) to keep running in 2026 or 2036.

While Jaynes prompted me to think of consciousness in terms of language and culture, Feynman did the same on a micro, person-to-person scale. He detailed a challenge with his fraternity mates where they did something like: read a book and count seconds (accurately) as you're doing it. He couldn't do it, but his fraternity mate could. He realized that while he counted using inner dialogue, his frat mate counted using visual images instead (seeing 1, 2, 3 in his mind's eye). If people embedded in the same culture and circumstances could count differently, I figured, how many unspoken differences in how we process and model the world around us could there be?

That's the one thing I genuinely don't understand. The DUP seemed to be working directly against their own interests -- though perhaps that's not surprising given that their interests are contradictory.

They were ditched after the next election, and Brexit got done in a way that ran roughshod over them. But had they not partnered with the Tories previously, the entire thing would have gone completely different. So they seem to have engineered their own destruction, to absolutely no benefit to themselves.

There was never a good solution to this: the UK has a land border with the EU and you can't wish that away, no matter how much you conceive of "the UK" as an island. But the one set of people who should have figured that out from the beginning were the DUP, and they were the ones who most conspicuously wished for something impossible. I don't get it.
So in Bezos case with his estimated net worth of 205B USD and assuming a average net worth of an american family of 750k (not sure how accurate this number is it was the first thing on google) this comes down to Bezos owning 266666 Apples for every apple a "normal" famliy owns. Noone would complain if it was a 1000 to 3 ratio.

Almost noone argues that we should take all his apples away but I think there is a lot of room before he has to feel like his risk is not worth it anymore.

The only issue Amazon would have in a more socialized society is that it would be way harder to exploit poor people that have to take up with their working conditions and wages because they rely on those jobs. And if your business cannot survive without exploitation it should not exist in the first place.
The key is what is the right question:

The right question is not wether it's more expensive to fix bugs in production or earlier. The key question is:

Who bears the brunt of the cost of fixing bugs at one stage and another?

This is a parallell to Conway's law: Which cost-center benefits for NOT working with agility (not rituals) and using Dev(Sec)Ops (collaboration) to improve processes and techniques?

It's that simple. Anything else will not get oxygen to thrive, simply because of no allocated priority and funds to bridge the disconnect.

What to call this law?
Maybe "The Law of Cost Centers", or something similar.

Anyone trying to fix this flaw will be fighting windmills head-on every step of the way. The big international corporations will have budgeted this due to scale and a must-have need, to be much more available and reliable than smaller shops.
