I had a typo saying "supply" when I meant "demand". At a high level we are saying roughly the same thing. Even poultry and peanuts would provide only a temporary solution. The root of the issue is building cities in the desert (and the agriculture and industry that goes with them). The population will continue increasing until the peanuts and poultry fix no longer provide enough savings. Not to mention, any new found "surplus" of water might just be used by farmers to expand the poultry or peanuts that they would be producing (lower margins would suggested a needed increase in volume).
I have worked for a couple of companies that swear by Mongo, with similar results.

Mongo is just a poorly designed piece of software you shouldn't trust for any mission critical service, unless you are willing to dedicate a lot of resources to constantly put out fires.
Great, solid, reliable editor. Great documentation.

Are you saying the aquifers aren't actually drying up? That Lake Mead and Lake Powell aren't actually at historic lows?

nit-pick, but only a tiny portion of Utah is in the Mojave desert.

For many constraints there are propagators that can reach domain consistency (all remaining values for all variables are part of some solution to the constraint, sometimes called generalized arc consistency). For some constraints the best propagator in practice is a much weaker one, as propagating to domain consistency is in itself NP-hard. Many times there is no actual formal consistency level definable. A great example of this is the circuit constraint that holds if a set of variables forms a Hamiltonian path in a graph. Hamiltonian paths is a classic NP-complete problem. The propagators for it make smart inferences, but not as a consistency level.

Crucially, propagators are for a single constraint only. For a constraint problem, you run all the propagators to a fix point. There is no single global “algorithm” here, and there are no higher level consistencies.
Hoe no! Facebook snafu spells trouble for gardening group
If this is an argument, it is a very poor one and if this is a justification, it is entirely irrelevant.

Deserts have ecosystems that are adapted to life with limited water. Trying to transplant a crop that evolved with plentiful water into an ecosystem with very little is a bad idea. Even worse is the capitalistic incentive to divert natural watercourse to farm in an arid region.
Came across a recent 10-minute VICE video about the desert area of Washington County, Utah trying to build a new pipeline to pump water from the Colorado River: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWpui1P9cAY

Although the Utah officials are aware that the Colorado River is drying up, they basically justify it saying (paraphrase), "Utah hasn't gotten its fair share yet".

Also as trivia... if you're familiar with the popular Youtube channel "What's Inside", the family lives in St George UT which is the growing city the VICE video is about. The family often mentions the advantages of St. George after recently moving from SLC.

Depends on definition of "senior". If you are still an individual contributor and need to demonstrate technical expertise, fine. But if you are a manager, you need to demonstrate the ability to lead, create impact, and deliver results. Side projects are for entertainment / continuing education.
Out of curiosity, why did Mongo get so popular? I used it in university when it was hyped and it was pleasant to get started with. The ability to query your data is so inconvenient though, I switched to SQL and I'm confused about what made experienced developers switch from SQL to mongo in the past. Is it just because you can scale up more easily when your database gets massive?

Like NodeJS and many web technologies, almost everything I read about it years ago turned out to be hype and not based on facts (eg, nodejs being faster for large numbers of requests than traditional backends is not true, but it was widely repeated on the first 10 pages of google search results)

edit: very well said, thanks for all the replies!
You put it in quotes, but I didn't say "right people".

Powerful tools can be misused. This is also true of encryption, but I'm still in favor of easy access to strong encryption. In both cases (data collection and encryption), I think there are good arguments on both sides, but in both cases I think the benefits of the new technology outweigh the potential harm.

In general I'm just not opposed to new technologies until I see specific reasons why we should be afraid of them, and weigh those reasons against the potential harm and cost.
Foss have many licenses, you can choose strict ones.
I'm curious that you mention project management courses from university. How much benefit have you found them to provide in practice?

Asking b/c I've taken two courses in dev process or project management in my academic career, and neither provided substantial value or benefit to how I've lead projects professionally.
I love this. What would be amazing is if there was a command line program that would download a playlist like this and push it to my iPhone (sync to Music app) so when I'm driving or traveling on an airplane I can simply ask Siri to play these songs without touching my phone or worrying about internet connectivity.

I currently do this with youtube-dl, I can download a playlist on youtube with it (best audio format) and then use Music to sync to my iPhone which involves 2 more steps than I'd like it to.
Yes, hence why I said "remains a worry". Though the treaty is signed between various states on the US side, too, and some US states have interests that compete with others on these matters that might be the one thing that saves us here in Ontario & Quebec.

HN is reacting as if this licensing change was made today, but it was made back in 2012, when they licensed their specification under a Creative Commons non-commercial variant. Today's linked commit is merely a text blurb reminding human beings of that license.
From your perspective and mine yes, but politically one needs a policy that also addresses all the people already involved making their living from that activity.

This is a micro sized problem of the larger scale fractal problem of climate crisis and industrial shifts needed to address it.
Why would we desalinate water when there is water already desalinated by nature available for us? Like I mentioned earlier, I'm not against desalination, it just seems crazy to leverage it to supply all of our water shortfall.

Wouldn't a network of canals and pipelines allow the country to be more secure and handle disasters more effectively?

"Most of Pelosi's gains are quite interesting, given the timing of her plays. For example, she was able to get into TSLA, DIS around stimulus news, NVDA before American Semiconductor funding was announced, among a long list of interesting picks. Mr. Whale leaves it to the reader to check her transactions and the news around her purchases (all available for free on the platform). She also timed the NFLX buys on June 18th perfectly. It was released on July 14th that NFLX is entering the videogame space, causing the stock to rally significantly."
With the luxury of working from home during the pandemic, I've much preferred using the opportunity to discover new music during the day, rather than listening to nondescript ambient music on the loop.

I suggest others give it a try. It's not like the two are mutually exclusive. You could give Robert Fripp's discography a try for ambient/electronic, for instance:

>But making previous features or UI elements less discoverable because you want them to appear only when needed (and who decides when I need something out of the way? Maybe I like to see it all the time) — that’s not progress.

It seems it's a trend to make everything require more clicks for 'cleanliness'. In the end, it just makes everything frustrating. You end up having to add search to make anything usable. Windows 10 and Android settings are both great examples of this.
Yes, but as a Swiss civilian you're allowed to own a great number of semi-automatic rifles, handguns, and standard capacity (20, 30, or more rounds) magazines as a private citizen, provided that you go through a licensing processes which isn't very tedious or expensive. The whole "Swiss men all have their service weapon in the house" thing is conflation/misunderstanding/ignorance, but in many ways Swiss firearms law is not terribly different from US firearms law in terms of what you're allowed to own and in some cases it's even less restrictive (CH doesn't care about barrel length on shoulder-fired weapons, for example). They key different is the existence of a license system.

The main thing that sets the US apart from other countries is not that civilians can own AR15s or similar weapons, it's that US law for the most part gives any adult the legal right to purchase and own firearms by default, provided that they can pass a background check. The United States and Yemen are basically the only countries that use this system. Basically every other country has some sort of tiered licensing system for firearms ownership, with varying levels of strictness. And as it happens, Switzerland is pretty unrestrictive in this regard. The Swiss "Firearms acquisition permit" looks essentially equivalent to the United State's "Form 4473" which is required for the majority of firearms transactions.

Just a heads up, it looks like the list on the start page at some point begins using the same previews for the different templates (despite having unique names). EG "placeport", "stereotherm", "conlangery", etc. all have the same preview for the templates. It seems like there are about 6 themes shown before this occurs. This seems to occur on both Chrome and Firefox.

FWIW, does seem pretty cool though, thanks for sharing!

I couldn't start writing and compiling my own source files until I went through all these unofficial channels to get stuff set up. I might be misremembering about the actual tutorial itself, but step 2 (do your own project) was literally impossible without the detour.

This is even worse than how it is for Python - which does have a similar problem - because at least in Python's case you can "just run" your scripts up until the point where you need dependency management and packaging. You can't even execute a .clj file (as far as I know) without going outside of the official resources.
A big problem I have seen with Pi in India is that it overheats and throttles heavily because the the temperature is usually high. With additonal cost of a good power supply, monitor, HDMI cable, its not worth it.

IMO a better device will be a laptop ~ 80 USD with an ARM processor and basic specs - especially a good in-built speaker.
Ah, that makes way more sense, thanks!
A article written in 2016 about left-pad.

Err, spoilers!
Desalination is already cheap enough to farm with (for some crops anyway) and energy will continue to get cheaper.
Estimate is but one part. The other is planning for obstacles and changes, i.e. have escalation paths and responsibilities in place:

Clear procedures to remove impediments, decision makers in the loop to ok scope/feature changes, resourcing agreed upfront, user engagement for testing locked-down, senior leadership aligned and kept informed regularly. Someone running the administrative side of the project, keeping people on target, etc. (could be a double hat, of course).

Sounds all rather "menial", but high degrees of organization really make a difference in delivery on larger projects.
I've been using BBEdit since v4.0. One thing that sticks out for me was, way back in System 7 days, I opened up a huge (for the time) CSV text file to do some search/replace. I don't remember the size, but it was larger than available RAM on the machine, so maybe 20MB. It opened, and I was able to work on it.

Recently I had to open a 1GB text file in BBEdit to also do a search/replace. (Not something I could use the command line easily for, because I had to make executive decisions as to keep or replace what I found.) Worked flawlessly.

The application is ridiculously solid. Like emacs, it's very customizable. I have several wonko scripts written in PHP that I can use to munge data, but you can also use Applescript, or Perl, or whatever. Code snippets are great.

But the real appeal is, again, similar to emacs: once you get into the workflow and set your editor up the way you like, including keyboard shortcuts, layout, etc., you can become insanely productive. It becomes a personalized environment to such an extent that the thought of moving out is terrifying.

(Years ago, Bare Bones had a mail client called Mailsmith. It BBEdit-ized your mail client. I loved it, but email moved on and they didn't keep it up. I still miss it.)
Yes, most of us cluster in a latitude about parallel with northern California or southern Oregon.

> a very, very old part of Python that predates the conventions now considered good style. Using space delimiters for lists of strings is a common idiom in Perl scripting due to the `qw()` quote syntax.

Note that the Smalltalk-80 class creation method also expects a space-separated string of instance variable names, and that's an environment considerably older than Perl.

> Does one have to adopt every ideal of something when founding an organization?

Let's change the labels. If someone founds an organization to spread nazism, is it a reasonable inference to suggest that the founder might be a nazi? I think yes, and that it is facile to suggest that the founder of an organization whose core principle is Leninism, is not actually a Leninist. And that's to say nothing of Jones' other activities that were cleaned off of wikipedia.

He was teaching "Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction", which isn't really a thing. If anything, it's an example of the very commercialised kind of mindfulness teaching that he's railing against.

If you visit the website mbsrtraining.com, the second link on the main menu is "Buy MBSR". Looks like the course materials cost just under $200. You also need to buy videos, attend retreats, co-facilitate retreats, and have supervision, as well as doing a lot of private meditation, if you want to be an accredited teacher. Sounds like a significant investment of time and money.

I can't find out from the website what licence these teaching materials are distributed under; that's a bit shifty, because I bet you're not allowed to reproduce them or distribute them.

Anyway, I wouldn't make that investment, just to sort myself out; I'd expect a return on investment. You get that by gathering paying students.
Studying Pelosi’s portfolio is one of the key strategies every trader should know by now.

> and yeah, amazing you're getting downvoted. I've been downvoted here for expressing the same sentiment before.

Because it’s an irrational prioritization. It’s like refusing to move to a new location for your dream job because the cost of milk is a little higher.

People like yourself and OP tend to struggle with this because it’s hard to imagine water not being an unlimited free resource. Once you think of it like food or any other utility, you’ll realize there is a always a price point where you can get it and it’s just one of another many costs you analyze in a place.
The cost of labor, like the cost of anything, is caused first and foremost by demand. A developer costs as much as a company is willing to pay them.
Here's the list of CPUs which incorporate the AVX2 instructions that enable some of these optimizations:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions#CPU...

You could write your distro to check for flags that will tell it whether or not you have these using flags from /proc/cpuinfo. Or you could check whether it's in the Intel half of the list or the AMD half of the list. Or you could write your own distro that only runs on the first half of the list.

I get that Intel's contributions aren't purely altruistic. There are likely to be subtle tuning problems that require slight changes to optimize on different platforms, and they can't really be expected to do free work for AMD. But it looks to me like they're being unecessarily anticompetitive.
Salesforce is ahead of Oracle and SAP in non-hipness? How times change. :O (EDIT: Atlassian has got to be up there as well)

In any case, most of the world is not very hip but Salesforce does have a very trustworthy aura to most people not in tech. I think Slack being acquired by Salesforce will probably lead to more Slack customers overall, not less.
It's useful to compare MongoDB's text with another vendor known for restrictive licensing, namely Oracle. Here's the legalese on the MySQL internals documentation. It has restrictions on dissemination but not actual use.

It does not restrict you from building applications that derive knowledge from MySQL internals documentation.

It's hard to call something untenable if the alternative is failed agriculture, unsustainable industry, and people being rationed water. The federal government could eminent domain water rights in the region and exert controls that would force out / buy out the largest users and influence population migrations.

Wouldn't you say Site C more of a glacial-melt supplied reservoir?

EDIT: It's a dam built on the Peace, which is out of the Rockies, on the other side from most of BC. And a long way from anywhere in B.C. that will be requiring drinking water or irrigation really. The farm land that would be irrigated I would imagine would be primarily on the Alberta side.
>"anything to make the pain go away"

Sure, I think our rampant overdose problem and drug and alcohol over-use problem in general is a symptom of this. That's one of the reasons the war on drugs is so insidious, it punishes the people already suffering, which makes them suffer more, forcing a downward spiral that is almost impossible to get out of. All from a perceived moral failing.

The US is pretty cruel to its citizens. It's not overtly, in-your-face cruel like historical regimes, but still cruel, none the less.
Modafinil or Methylphenidate? Modafinil never made me paranoid but I know at least one person with psychosis caused by Methylphenidate.

It goes both ways. While I agree that conservatives appear to be hypocritical, I also think Democrats are equally as guilty. I really see both parties as two sides of the same coin.

I don't think it's so much about individual stocks. House members and especially house leaders have the ability to propose legislation or even talk about potential legislation that affects entire industries. Blue chip stock trades ahead of major legislation (ie. trading facebook before a major revision to section 230) don't matter so much about the blue chip nature.

IMO employee insiders have restrictions to trading the stocks of their company. I don't think it's overly onerous to have congresspeople disallowed from direct control over their or their immediate family's portfolios. Does that make it difficult to work in congress and have a family member working in finance? Sure, but I think that's okay.
It depends on my mood but I am most productive in silence without headphones on.

Well sure, but that's also true of how you treat men (you may just not realize it consciously). To deny that appearance plays a role in how other people perceive you and treat you is to deny reality. It may not be fair, but it's a reality that's probably literally baked into our genes.
