This is the magic of free software licensing: by removing barriers to sharing, it multiplies the usefulness of whatever is licensed by a much larger number of users, who are all free to repurpose it as they see fit. Most of my own free software is pretty radically useless, but I've written Wikipedia pages that thousands of people read every day, and made improvements to countless others. It would be difficult for anything I do in a normal job to have as big an effect on the world, either positive or negative.
Yeah; my home city (Austin, Texas), has 3x the murder rate of London. Although, you’re 100 times more likely to die in a car crash in London than be murdered in Austin. So… y’know, murder is bad, but it seems like you should stay off the road?

I can't recommend pijul, but I can recommend keeping an eye on it. Pierre-Étienne Meunier is a ferociously smart guy, and he's convinced me that patches are the correct way to build a VCS, rather than snapshots.

I catch up on a forum a few times a year, asking myself if it's ready for me to switch a repo or two over and see how it goes. So far I have to answer no, but I'm hoping it's just a matter of time.

It's not delaying but also reducing it significantly - the FIRE person lives on 1/3 a typical income and saves the other two over the course of a compressed career. Typically they retire once they've saved 25X their yearly expenses and then draw down at a rate of 4% a year, putting any excess capital gains towards their portfolios to offset inflation.

So consumption is reduced by 60% over the course of a lifetime, which by most metrics would shrink the economy by a similar amount - of course, most FIRE people also keep being productive after retiring, so it's probably not so straightforward to account for everything.
It boils down to scale. Wolves are not running animal concentration camps.

Raising and slaughtering your own animals, or hunting wild ones yourself is much more humane/natural than industrial level farms and slaughterhouses. You don't eat animals that just "die".

I'm not saying that to argue anything, I eat meat like most people, it's just how I see it.

Regardless of how much money can be printed, no government has enough resources to attack a perpetually moving and atomizing target.

As long as governments debase the currency to carry out this attack, they are also continuously creating more reasons for variations of Bitcoin to exist.
If you're wondering how this happened it's because Ruper Murdoch (Fox news) is from Australia and controls the majority of media in Australia.

The current party in power gives him everything he asks for and more. Including subsidies for spectrum licences. In return they get very favorable coverage in the media. The second biggest party in Australia also tries to pander to him but aren't as good at it.

Murdoch sucks at technology. He bought MySpace at its peak and ran it into the ground. So all he has is old media. Old media is getting crushed by the lack of advertising revenue. The only way forward is to get Google and Facebook banned.

It's a meme to hate on the big tech companies ("Delete Facebook") but they are a million times better than a media landscape of only Sky news and associated right wing papers and radio (essentially Fox news in Australia).

Why do you need a PM for that?

That’s what a good tech lead with a robust roadmap is for.

PMs sprung out of the notion that engineers are anti-social and need someone to keep customers/internal teams at bay so eng can focus on coding.

Of course in reality there are plenty of highly competent tech leads who can both negotiate with customers on a roadmap and build it.
I avoid it. There are a few closed and public communities where my name ends up coming out for one reason or another, but outside of something like LinkedIn or Github, where there’s potential professional implications, I’d prefer to use a pseudonym. I do have some legacy social media accounts with my name in them, but they’re either incredibly locked down or hard to find.
nope. Eating a 100% vegan diet without taking any supplements and without having access to a great nutritionist will make you have a bad time. It’s stupid hard to get all the nutrients you need without meat and you need to be in a privileged position to start with to do this successfully.
> You need 3 points for a fit a polynomial of degree 2.

I'm a bit confused. Yes, you need (at least) three points to try and fit a polynomial of degree two. But both of your earlier examples of why the relationship could be quadratic consisted of two points.

I'd be more or less happy to accept that if the same quadratic formula worked (within a margin of error) for several other other, randomly chosen pairs of points in the graph.

The second segment seems roughly linear to me. There are a couple of points in the graph that are somewhat off, but it's (at least as shown in the graph) only a couple of points, and we don't know the accuracy of the measurements, so there could be some noise.

It's true that you can easily get spurious relationships by trying to see multiple different segments or otherwise zooming to an selected level. I'm just not really sure the points as a whole look like a quadratic curve either, and it's not impossible there could be multiple segments, as e.g. cache behaviour could potentially introduce such non-linearity in what could otherwise have linear performance.
Listing Vox as a source instantly kills the credibility.
Marijuana trade is already federally illegal in all 50 states and territories while many states have majorly unrestricted it, so that would be the opposite of what I'm talking about.

In this case, California is restricting trade in pork not raised to their opinions of what constitutes humane treatment. Federal standards are obviously less restrictive.

It's within federal jurisdiction to override the California law to permit California people to buy non-CA-compliant pork from Iowa.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out if California continues on its "ban everything" trajectory.

Bacon may not be the hill to die on, but food trade in general is possibly one of the things that could trigger federal intervention if enough leaf nodes get perturbed.

Explicit, using the special "country code" T1. However, I also noticed that natural blockrates (on my non-CF servers) tends to be higher on Tor exit addresses due to (seemingly) more aggressive hacking attempts - probably the same on CF (the real anonymity of Tor is both a blessing and a curse)
> [...] or far more likely, people don’t trust the government to protect them from other Americans.

This is the entire reason several of my liberal friends have bought a gun or two recently, and started practicing at the range. Unlike right-wingers (I gather, anyway), their nightmare scenario (or wet-dream, depending on how generous we're being) isn't needing to shoot at government agents, but at right-wing militia nutters trying to bring their own brand of authoritarianism—for which authoritarianism-supporting purpose private arms are, so far as their political uses go, more suited than for resisting an authoritarian government with firm backing from its military, but as long as the authoritarian movement's active violent arm is restricted to deniable private militias, private arms might suffice for effective resistance.
I think this is the paper behind that.[1] Round trip efficiency is listed there as about 75%.

It was previously proposed at Lawerence Livermore.[2] It was apparently tried in China in 2016, at least at pilot plant stage.

It's an obvious idea. There's been lots of interest in compressed air storage, and compressed CO2 storage is in some ways easier, because you can liquify it easily. So why hasn't this come up much before?

I think you're significantly underestimating the value of many other aspects:

- Things that happen outside of meetings, which are what the remote-video rule is for, not everything categorically. e.g. debugging together when in, white-boarding, the quick desk visit, etc. As I said, teams can (and do) coordinate to come in on the same day

- Socially, the return being happier workers, better teamwork to fall back on when you're remote, etc.

- The people who do not have a good home office setup for many various reasons that affect both young and old.

There are countless benefits, there's no magical "this is the reason to be in the office" that you can reduce to. The "video conferencing by default" rule is the tradeoff for not disadvantaging people who want to retain their less frequent office time schedule of the pandemic.
> It's up the the site owner if they want to block Tor or not

No. Cloudflare does that automatically when the owner selects "high protection" without clarifying the impact of the choices or discouraging such practice.

> the site owner cloud just as easily have blocked Tor if they where using a normal server

Not at all, it's difficult to implement to the same level as cloudflare.
My Ugliest Bug (2013)
Wow, this looks exciting. Looks like Cython without any extra work/syntax, for those using mypy.

I wish their readme gave some kind of estimate of how the speedups might compare to Cython and PyPy. But it's currently alpha, so there may be big differences by the time it's ready for production use.

Similar approach to the Sorbet Compiler for Ruby (albeit targeting C instead of llvm... I wonder how that might impact optimizability).
"At the beginning of next year, California will begin enforcing an animal welfare proposition approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2018 that requires more space for breeding pigs, egg-laying chickens and veal calves. National veal and egg producers are optimistic they can meet the new standards, but only 4% of hog operations now comply with the new rules."

This is wonderful news. We're finally putting an end to an unethical factory farming practice - forcing animals to live in inhumanely cramped conditions.

There's little chance bacon will disappear from California. Instead, the price will probably go up:

"If half the pork supply was suddenly lost in California, bacon prices would jump 60%, meaning a $6 package would rise to about $9.60, according to a study by the Hatamiya Group, a consulting firm hired by opponents of the state proposition."

I'm totally fine with paying more for bacon if it means that pigs will be treated more humanely.
Kind of ironic to say "FAANG scale" here, since Google notoriously uses an enormous monorepo, and Facebook uses mercurial and has done considerable work to scale it.

> Do all experiences bias people in a way that makes true understanding harder? Meaning that true understanding can only exist in the absence of first-hand knowledge? Or is there a way to experience something in a way that furthers understanding?

These are all very interesting philosophical questions. However, I'm not talking about all experiencies, I'm talking about specific experiences. If only some experiences bias people, an analogy to something that people have less experience with can be useful.

> Is it useful? What is it that Americans understand about censorship in China that they can't understand about censorship in America?

One thing that Americans understand about China, that they don't understand about the US, is that no private organization can be absolutely independent of the government, that the government has many subtle ways to pressure private organizations. This is especially true for profit-driven public companies. The only thing necessary to successfully pressure them is to make resistance more expensive then surrender.

> Do you think those private companies made that decision without influence from the government?

No. Not in the US, not in China.
To my understanding their browser isolation text just renders to canvas on their edge servers (don’t quote me on this). Does canvas provide any accessibility at all and is actually a bigger problem with the creation of that standard / element in HTML5 with text generation? It’s essentially an image block that allows text generation with almost no accessibility in mind? That’s not really Cloudflare’s fault if so.

I agree accessibility needs to be of higher priority. It’s a shame it’s seems to be almost always a secondary priority to everything in tech.

But this post feels like an open letter to some bigger issue when it seems like it’s a very niche and non-common security tool.

I mean no disrespect in this.
"Unnecessary" is such an odd category: humans could live in caves, for example. Who determines what is necessary? Is art necessary? Music? Nice food? This seems often tangled in some odd moral/theological origin, i.e. possessions are frowned upon.

I like to be shown new things to try, for example. So some advertising I actually like. Is my life planned by large corporations? From my work there I would say not, as most campaigns tend to fail even in the short term.

This makes intuitive sense, but I still can't quite wrap my head around this idea of "no floating point for monetary values?," or actually, the opposite.

> It's clear Xi Jinping considers the platform companies to be middlemen that are not actually adding value, and not "real" tech companies

I’m not sure how you arrived at this conclusion. My take away was the Chinese government fears tech companies that might take power away from the Chinese government. This is more about the Chinese government maintaining its own power and full control, and less about the value add or anti trust stance for keeping a competitive market.
Improving latency with Active Queue Management during Covid-19
Most inkjet printers are cheap nasty bits of plastic - which is why the paper path works so badly and either jams or doesn't grab sheets reliably. It wouldn't require much engineering to build something better.

Print heads are a more of a challenge, but you can buy manufacturer originals and build a printer around them.

The firmware is a big problem, but there's a lot of research in the public domain that could be repurposed.

After all of that, you need compatible ink. You'd be reliant on third party ink clones and cartridge systems.

It wouldn't necessarily be harder than a 3D printer project, but it's not trivial, and it would be hard to make it work financially.

Given a choice between an official printer that costs $35 to buy and $60 for replacement inks, and an OpenPrinter that costs $60 to buy and $35 for inks, most people will buy the former.
While I disagree with the methods and objectives outlined above. It’s incredibly refreshing to hear an honest take on Chinese economic and political policy that doesn’t boil down to “CCP wants control”.

Tech has greatly empowered rent seeking activities in the western world. It’s not implausible that the Chinese government is simply curtailing this activity using the mechanisms that they have traditionally used for other political objectives.

I find it disturbing that academics do not routinely disclose their conflicts of interest in their works. In the age when the scientific papers quality is falling, we don't need yet another reason to question scientific papers integrity. Without disclosure some people will think it was done on purpose.
Yeah, it would be a good idea for school trips.

I've watched and slaughtered animals since I was little and still eat meat, but others could change.
As long as in-state farmers are required to follow the same rules as others, I don’t know what anyone could legitimately complain about?

If the people of California, through their democratically elected government, establish stricter rules to protect the air they breath or animal welfare, then it’s all working as intended.

Guns really are the counterexample here, as plenty of communities, including the US as a whole according to polling, would chose to restrict private gun ownership to varying degrees. It’s prevented from doing so by a minority that is opposed and a Supreme Court that suddenly decided a few years ago that when the constitution talks about “well-regulated militias”, it really wants to establish an individual right.
I flagged this because this is extremely dangerous advice.

No, we use it because it's superior to the competition.

It's much better than Subversion that was the standard before git arrived.

excellent reference, and bang on. I will use this the next time I try to explain the problem.
"Concentration camps were a trade-off". You probably.
You have it exactly backwards, and I think it gets to the core of why people get so unnecessarily confused about git. The underlying data model is both much simpler than the interface and crucial to understand. If you treat git as a collection of memorized command recipes the same way you did with SVN or CVS, you're going to have a bad time. The underlying DAG needs to be top of mind when interacting with git, as it best represents the inherent complexity of the problem that code repositories are meant to solve.

There are exercises you can do, mentally and physically, which can help guide you through self-improvement, but they all require that we actually do them.

Some times is feels like I go years without making any progress with myself. Other times is just takes a small new action to gain remarkable results. Like you, I'm not sure it could have gone any faster and that's okay.

Good question. I am actually not super familiar with it, but in general your shares are owned under the name of the broker (called "street name"). That broker will then deal with portioning out dividends etc. I believe you can request to have personal ownership assigned, but this is expensive from what I have read. Unless you don't trust your broker (why are you using them?) it is unlikely to matter to an individual investor. You still have the legal right to the shares.

As a dev at a large company, I'm wondering how the author went about open sourcing the side project. My employment contract stipulates that anything I write for work is owned by the company. This company wouldn't have any motivation to let me open source the work I do, which in my case does not go into any product.

The reason I ask is that I have written, as part of my day job, a scientific library in C# that doesn't appear to have any public equivalent and I know addresses common tasks in the industry. I would love to open source it, if not for beer money, but for visibility to help my career --- I'm at that point where promotions only happen with externally-visible accomplishments.
On that one, I argue for giving the convicted person a choice - death or life in prison. It's a simple change.
