I agree with the idea, but disagree with the approach. This seems like a lot of extra work for not much, or maybe even less, benefit.

The process I've set up for my team allows us to get the best of both worlds, in my opinion, with almost no extra effort:

1. Create a branch and open a pull request. Nothing gets pushed directly to master.

2. After the pull request has been tested and reviewed, we Squash and Merge into master on GitHub with a single button click.

This way we end up with a single commit in master for each feature, bugfix, etc. There's also a link to the PR in the commit message where you can view the individual commits that were squashed as well as links to any related Jira issues.
Also the German name for a genus of flowers, Gentiana. Given that it is

Interesting that it talks about the hardships that Germany has paying war reparations. This is one of the main contributors to the rise of Nazis some years later; Germans were sick and tired of their paychecks going to pay England.
It said "This machine is a server". Isn't that still true for any server ? I mean if you power off a server, it stops serving. I guess the what makes that note truly unique is that it was THE only server at that time ?
amazon is responsible for the changes. amazon could fix the scam items and/or protect their reviews from being gamed. they choose eyes wide open not to do either of those things for business reasons.

Wow, usually unpopular decisions were outsourced to consultants who then would give back what the CEO wants to hear and do the deed. Now, that can be done for cheap via something mysterious called "the Algo-rythm" ;) . Bad times for consultant firms incoming.
Firing people based on algorithms or arbitrary statistics doesn’t protect minorities.

It protects the people who know how to game the system. Those who understand how the metrics are calculated actually love these systems because they can use that insider information to make themselves look disproportionately good by going through the right motions. If they know they’re being ranked by the number of Jira tickets being closed, they might create 5 tickets for every piece of a task instead of 1 ticket with a checklist. Or if they’re being measured on lines of code committed, they’re going to be doing a lot of unnecessary refactoring and rewriting to keep those numbers up.

Indeed, apparently the developers of this big data employee ranking system are internally opposed to letting employees see their own scores. From the article:

> The company also planned to implement the so-called “digital mirror,” so every employee could learn what AI thinks of their work and engagement. However, the development team wasn’t enthusiastic about this idea, so its rollout is pending.

Of course the development team wouldn’t want other people to be able to see their AI ranking score or be given a chance to learn how to change it. That privilege is reserved for the developers of the AI ranking system, who no doubt score very well on the system.

It’s also bizarre that the CEO would publicly admit that his planned feature to let employees know their score was being held up because some employees didn’t want to release it. Why air internal drama like this? Why blame the employees? This CEO sounds like he’s trying to wash his hands of every CEO responsibility at every chance he gets.
Say they don’t do that. Amazon also say they don’t do that. But it do.

When the Fed does quantitative easing, they swap bank reserves for bonds held by banks. These bonds are economically equivalent to money which cannot be spent until a certain date, so the Fed is effectively just bringing this date forward.
I'm confused. You wrote both of these:

>> I hate this idea that addiction is someone just getting high so they don't have to feel bad feelings...

>> I think he drank to suppress his nightmares from serving in two wars.

I mean... I thought the dad story was going to contradict that first thing.

I agree with you (I think) that many people use addictions to sooth or avoid unpleasant feelings. I know some people who even admit that's why they do it.
"Emissions" has become synonym for "net emissions" in non-technical discourse. I'm not sure what to think about that: on one hand it can be confusing as you said, but on the other hand, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter if someone takes a ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere and then re-emits it. After all, net emissions is the interesting number for climate change.
The reality is MIDI is a terrible abstraction for anything other than keyboard (piano, organ, harpsichord, celeste etc...). If you have some really good soundfont files you can produce very realistic sounding piano performances if you tweak each note hard enough. At the end of the day the input into acoustic piano device and MIDI are the same (in fact in MIDINyou determine the velocity while turning a note off, which wouldn't have an acoustic effect on a piano)

But for all other instuments especially those without "frets" e.g. violin, cello etc MIDI will sound nothing even close to a real insturment. Even if you buy thousands of $ worth soundfonts, it'll sound like MIDI. When I say this to my musician friends they keep saying "well duh computer just can't play a piece like human". Well, that may be the case but that's an entirely different topic. As a violinist and a software engineer the abstraction I would use for my own insturment would be:

4 on/off signals each for a string
A global state about how far on the board each finger is (if it's pressing down, otherwise null).
For each on signal: (1) Contact position of the bow, (2) velocity of the bow.

And this doesn't even account for artificial harmonics, pizz etc many different timbres you can produce from an acoustic violin.

The reason I'm writing all this is because I'm trying to make the case that MIDI is useful for the opposite of what you're doing. Going from MIDI to MusicXML is not useful since MusicXML is a format meant for composers to express music for all insturments (well, in MuseScore, Dorico etc, and they eventually generate Music XML)

So in order to use MusicXML to its full potential, try generating MIDI from MusicXML. This way you can generate very realistic sounding music even for insturments like violin (but it won't look like a generic Midi as you need multiple channels for each insturment).

This is how I compose music myself. I write it in MuseScore3 with heavily notated notation (including human readable notes like "slower" etc) and then generate wav from musicXML file. Try it!

DJT’s campaign made heavy use of this tactic but AFAIK no other major political candidate has done this. Unsurprisingly DJT’s donations had much higher chargeback rates.

Most politicians don’t want to anger their biggest supporters. DJT didn’t seem to care.
Ite actually quite the contrary. Using AI as a tool to discriminate and then defer to a magic blackbox is one of the most profitable AI areas. Look at automated moderation for example.
Not only politicians. A lot of people support this.

Oh yes. Speed is an important point. ElasticSearch & Solr use disk-first indexing (with RAM as just a cache), whereas Algolia and Typesense use a RAM-first approach where the entire index is stored in memory. This is what makes Algolia/Typesense return results much much faster than ES/Solr, and lets you build search-as-you-type experiences for each keystroke.

I was thinking about adding a row about speed to the comparison matrix, but couldn't find a way to express the comparison clearly... Imagine a row that said:

Search Speed | Super-fast | Super-fast | Slow? ...

That felt a little off. So I resorted to just mentioning primary index location as a proxy.

Open to suggestions on how to express this succinctly.
You say:

> I hate this idea that addiction is someone just getting high so they don't have to feel bad feelings, which seems to be the underlying assumption of most discussions.

But then the rest of your comment is a story about your father seemingly doing exactly that. What have I misunderstood here? Not trying to be flippant, I'm genuinely confused.
You can still have WIP commits, you just clean them up before you share them, i.e. squash. It doesn't mean you have to reduce your work to a single commit -- that's silly -- but it does mean building a narrative of changes.

Take a look at patches in the LKML and their associated revisions. This is the most sane approach to history. Changes are broken up logically, nearly all commits in a patch series are individually functional/correct, and in their presented order they tell a story for the given feature.

Your "update" or "whoops" or "wip" or "address feedback" commits are, almost universally, entirely useless. There's no point in checking out one of those commits. They don't help tell a narrative to uniformed readers. They're just noise.
I know it was a quote. I was disagreeing with the sentiment.

Why even repeat that? It’s like saying “did you even read the article?”
>..so was the top carmaker entering bankruptcy with all of those employees and pensions on their books. Biggest bankruptcy of that sort since the depression. Precedent isn't a suicide pact, when things get weird then people can adapt.

The example I quoted was about Chrysler. The actual largest bankruptcy was Lehman Brothers not Chrysler (or GM) The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy was about 15 times larger larger than Chrysler.

If the government wanted to save the pension, then the government should have increased the bailout to pay for it. This would have been better than breaking the rule of law just because the non-secured creditors have more political pull.

Oh I get the point (and I know it’s a quote, which I why I quoted Office Space) but it’s still useless rhetoric.
Reasonable skepticism should not be derided. But I would say (a) the skepticism is borderline, and (b) poor decision making is what is being derided.

So why is the skepticism borderline? Well we have over 100 years of data showing that vaccines I’m general are safe and effective. The safety and effectiveness of vaccines has drastically improved during that century - especially in the last 20 years. mRNA vaccines is a new platform, but all the preclinical and clinical data tee have shows they are safe and effective, and if we were going to see long term effects (which would be related to abnormal inflammatory / immune) response; it is highly likely we would have seen some indicator by now. Which specific long term effects are people even worried about?

And this brings us to why it is a poor decision. SARS-COV2 rewires your innate immune response, and has been observed to cause abnormal inflammatory/ immune responses that cause to death and long term disability with alarming frequency. So it seems like extremely poor judgement to be worried about long term effects from the vaccine more than the virus. The first concern is largely unsupported by the data, while the second is unquestionably supported by the data.

That ignores dividends. That will add a couple of percentage points to the return.

If I rerun the calculation from the cherry-picked peak of about 360 in 1928, I get around 4.5% after inflation, without dividends.

Your 30 year comment is measured precisely from the top of the epic Japanese stock bubble of the late eighties. Whether you are aware of that or not. Measure from the bottom shortly after, and it's a very different story.

You are right about the arbitrary rules of the dow. If you're going to do index investing, I would much rather the S&P 500.
I never said that it's my (dis)agreement with you that makes you a manipulator. It's the way you frame your argument. You said "third of the population" but forgot to mention that it's just 7 people we're talking about which is a crucial addition. I conclude you were writing that in bad faith to promote some kind of agenda of yours (which is confirmed by the history of your posts).
> It doesn’t but a measure of output from solar panels ignores the storage efficiency which is what we care about here.

So why even mention panel efficiency?

> First actual array output falls over time

You always compensate for it, it's not hard.

> Panels on the moon need to be mounted at an appropriate angle for maximum efficiency, cooling, they need wires to move electric from the panel to your power conversion

All included in that figure.

> electronics to handle that power

That is admittedly not included in that figure but PPUs are still fairly lightweight these days.

> Don’t forget the moon is dealing with days of full sun panels need to maintain low temperatures for efficiency

We've already dealt with these things for geostationary satellites, and those are almost always insolated thanks to their orbit.

> and you can’t just dump all that heat into the moon

On the south pole you most likely can, since even though there's lots of sunlight, the extreme incidence angle means that the surface is disproportionately cool.

> A 50kg array consisting of 25kg of solar panels, at 30% efficiency produces: 25 different 0.2kw panels for 30 percent of the time over 28 days times 24 hours = 25 * 0.200kw * 0.30 * 28 * 24h = 1008 kWh or 1.008 MWh.

Heh? A 50 kg array at 200 W/kg produces 10 kW peak and even at 30% capacity factor generates ~2 MWh in a lunar month: 100.324*29.5 = 2.124 MWh.

> consisting of 25kg of solar panels

I already said that the ~200 W/kg for UltraFlex/MegaFlex arrays includes structures, so there's no "25kg of solar panels". There are in fact no panels at all - on UltraFlex/MegaFlex, individual "naked" cells are attached to the flexible substrate of the array directly.

> I have yet to read about an actual working system over 30% water to hydrogen to water. Do you have any citations or is this assuming some unknown breakthrough?

No, it assumes perfectly standard system components. But here you have NASA's RFC demonstrating 50% efficiency in 2006 (already fifteen years ago!): https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20060008706

Right, that's correct. "At this point" was in reference to the article, i.e. in ancient and medieval Europe. I should have been clearer.

I guess it just means "even though this machine looks like a desktop computer (which it very much usually was as a NeXT station), it's actually acting as a server, so please don't shut it down like you would with a desktop machine".

It by far wasn't the only "server" at that time. The WWW may be 30 years old, but the Internet is much older.
Its doubtful that we'll make the 1.5 C mark. Many if not most of our climate models don't take into account what happens when previous carbon sinks turn into carbon producers. The data can be dated and at best its an extrapolation after the-fact. There's a high chance we'd end up in the situation of chasing a moving goalpost and never actually making it and many large funders have a vested interest in sowing disinformation stabilize corporate profits.

Given the disparity between renewables and fossil fuels currently in use, Nuclear Energy is the most likely candidate to offset energy use but corporations can't be trusted to run these kind of facilities.

Its already been noted that some carbon sinks appear to have become net carbon producers recently. Russian permafrost, and the Amazon. Basically it can happen when methane and other gases from the arctic/permafrost melt or natural disasters (large scale fires).

Carbon capture also isn't the only factor in a solution, trapped heat will need to escape the atmosphere to space and that can only happen at certain narrow wavelengths.

In most cases, very little attention is given to cascade failures in general, because in most cases its difficult to quantify the risk, and the worst disasters we see are often the result of these type of failures.
If you pick the top or bottom of the market as a starting point you can tell a very misleading story about returns over time. Starting and ending points matter a lot.
Yeah, it's a bit like mobile phone didn't have an impact while it was radio phone or during the first years of modern-ish mobile networks; it was de facto reserved for specific professional use and the happy few. It took 10 years or more to expand the networks coverage and drop prices, and then only it had a very noticeable public impact.

When I started focusing on Scheme as an elegant Lisp for a rapid R&D platform (Web, AI, programming languages, etc.) ~20 years ago, Kawa was one of the implementations on which I tested my libraries.

I'd been using Java previously for research prototypes, Java was getting popular, and Kawa's property of running on the JVM seemed potentially practically very useful or critical, and I wanted it in my pocket.

I ended up moving primarily to PLT Scheme (aka Racket), but I would (and still do) always tell people about keeping some of the special Scheme implementations as backups. Kawa for JVM, Gambit for large numbers of threads and other properties, Chicken for its C compilation approach and significant community.

I think the JVM aspect was one of the keys to Clojure achieving more popularity than Racket. Though Clojure was also led from the top with a better command of industry application, and also focused outreach on the wealth of Common Lisp (CL) (sometimes called simply "Lisp" without qualification) developers, who as a whole seemed to be more seasoned veterans than our average Scheme/Racket developer. (Whereas Racket, though it also had and gained some very skilled developers, was led from the top towards research and CS education goals, and early developer outreach was maybe mostly about being out there among dozens of Scheme implementations, and trying to be attractive to move to, or to be tried first. Industry application understanding came up from the bottom, the funding at the top remained for academic goals, and none of the people with industry experience got into leadership. So, in hindsight, I suppose it's not surprising that Racket and all the Scheme people who went there never took off commercially, beyond a few random success stories, and that Clojure would end up winning more in that regard.)

If I get time to do more on Scheme/Racket, other than the occasional package maintenance, I'd probably re-focus on portability to at least a few Schemes, and Kawa would be among them. (Right now, I'm leaning towards investing side-project time in leveraging various background towards Rust -- partly for its merits, and partly to keep learning and integrating a breadth of topics. But Scheme is still worth learning beyond school assignments level, and very powerful and a joy to work with practically, iff you have the time to invest in leveling up, filling in missing bits, and pulling off the occasional magic. Scheme even has some influences on Rust, and maybe with additional influences possible.)
No, that's absolutely not how most people want their online communities to work.

Sneaky, indirect, hidden advertising is worse than regular ads or 'spam'. Regardless of if a community is about gardening or guitars or cooking or basketball, most people don't want shills posting content that's secretly sponsored product placement related to their hobby or promotion of the poster for fame or profit.

Most subreddits have rules specifically against this, because otherwise the real, organic, genuine conversation and content gets drowned out by self-promoting shills trying to drive clicks to their website or views to their youtube or get free advertising/PR for their company. You're supposed to participate out of a genuine interest in the community, not to exploit them as an audience for making money.
Yeah, I've endured quite a bit of their "dirt weed" back in the day. Some of it was not "better than nothing".

But I sure as hell wouldn't try to smuggle any across their border, and especially anymore than could be considered "for personal use".

We do have this newspeak, and it's not about that "woke" stuff. It's what we call UFO and magick: mostly meaningless buzzwords now that conceal a whole range of different things in a box labeled as toxic thought waste that any rational person shouldn't even look at. That line of thinking is blocked so efficiently that nobody can pinpoint a single law or rule that prohibits it. This is what competently implemented newspeak looks like.

As soon as there are multiple entities (countries, tribes, etc) that want the same thing (usually resources), there will be some level of dishonesty in order to gain an advantage (because human nature).

The definition of corruption is willingness to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain.

Given a tribe is big enough, it'll have multiple sub-tribes in it. Now go back to paragraph one.

That's why politics is corrupt, as soon as a tribe is above a tiny size, people act dishonestly to further their sub-tribe's interests.
