I think it's the other way around. The fact that git does not provide a clean analogous way to intuitively interact with it just demonstrates that the git interface is horribly broken.

This is not essential complexity, it's just bad design that stuck.

Take a look at https://gitless.com/

If you just look at a summary of the commands, you will have an accurate mental model of what's going on:

gl init - create an empty repo or create one from an existing remote repo
gl status - show status of the repo
gl track - start tracking changes to files
gl untrack - stop tracking changes to files
gl diff - show changes to files
gl commit - record changes in the local repo
gl checkout - checkout committed versions of files
gl history - show commit history
gl branch - list, create, edit or delete branches
gl switch - switch branches
gl tag - list, create, or delete tags
gl merge - merge the divergent changes of one branch onto another
gl fuse - fuse the divergent changes of one branch onto another
gl resolve - mark files with conflicts as resolved
gl publish - publish commits upstream
gl remote - list, create, edit or delete remotes

To me this clearly demonstrates that the problem isn't that people aren't learning git, it's that git is bad to learn. Stash + Index + Working Tree isn't the right abstraction to present to people. Just say there is a working tree, and tracked and untracked files and snapshots. Done. Branches aren't particular commits but particular working trees on top of particular commits.

Working on a feature and want to look at the main branch, but not ready to commit the changes yet? Well just switch to the main branch, then switch back and pick up where you started. No need to know about an additional data structure called the stash.

Unfortunately this did not pick up enough steam. And because a lot of tools expose concepts from gits broken interface you have to learn the git interface anyway...

>> I wonder if the NHTSA could require all self driving cars to use lidar if the safety stats show it is a significant safety improvement.

> Then the waste majority of cars simply wouldn't come with lane assist. Deploying lidar on such scale is simply not practical at the moment.

IMHO, lane assist isn't "self driving" any more than cruise control is.

I think you get into self driving territory when the car makes lane changes or turns at intersections.
There certainly is a focus on freedom of speech, and it's in our charter of rights and freedoms as one of the fundamental freedoms: "freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication".

You're right that we do have a different balance of the common good vs individual liberties as compared to the USA, but of course there are many countries that one could compare to.

Canada certainly doesn't abide by free-speech absolutism, and "hate speech" is a good example. That term used to be applied to very specific, extreme examples. Unfortunately that has been watered down in recent years, and we've seen encroachment in others ways on various freedoms. Not Australia levels, but not great.
I don't believe this is correct.

There was a plan to do that at some point, but it was pulled back from for backwards compat reasons.

You can opt-in to string literals being frozen by default on a per-source-file basis with a magic pragma comment, and this has existed for several ruby 2.x versions and is unchanged in the released ruby 3.0.

We used this pattern a lot at my previous company with a lot of success over the years. Operating in almost 10 different countries, mostly running lower end Android phones and being able to slightly customize parts of the UI on the fly to suit different markets is really powerful. I've been hearing how webapps on phones are going to be indistinguishable from native apps soon(tm) since around 2012, but it hasn't happened and I don't see it happening any time soon.

I think most people assume the granularity of control is the same as with HTML, which does make it sound like reinventing the wheel, so it's important to think about it in terms of components, not individual elements. For us, the level of granularity that worked best looked something like the different types of posts in a Facebook feed, where each post (e.g. video, photo, text-only, event) would be represented by a different server driven UI component. It also helps when the JSON you get from the server maps directly to the UI, so you can visualize the UI in your head. This means a lot of sum types / tagged unions that don't exactly map well to language constructs in Go, which we used for our backend, but work absolutely great in Kotlin & Swift.

One thing we didn't find a good solution for is formatted text though, so we ended up supporting a bastardized subset of Markdown that got us 90% there, but it just felt wrong.

> Have you even listened to conservatives talking about "Big Tech" recently

Uh, isn’t that completely opposite though? No conservatives are pushing for government control of the internet, because we already have it with these companies that are directly working with/for the government.

Governments don’t need to build their own spy apparatuses, they just ask FAANG for the data.

It was popular conservative news for weeks that Jen Psaki admitted they were in contact with Facebook to remove problematic posts about topics that were against the Administration's goals.

Their own AG, Merrick Garland said they needed to be careful that this is “walking on thin ice”.

I think you were misunderstanding some of the conservative points of view, I recommend actually speaking to a conservative.

Pitch | https://www.pitch.com | Senior Frontend Engineer, Engineering Managers | REMOTE (ideally +/-4 hours from CET) | Full Time

Pitch is the modern presentation software we always wished we had. Built for teams that care about where their time and energy goes. Finally, a product that helps people get ideas out of their heads, onto a slide, and out into the world.

We grew from 70 to 130 in the past year, fuelled by growth in user numbers (and a cheeky $85 million in Series B funding). We are (and always have been) committed to remote work, and have employees based everywhere from Sao Paulo to Auckland to Kiev.

Our biggest hiring need is in our Engineering org. We're looking for the following:

* Senior Frontend Engineers - https://grnh.se/e77482d92us
* Engineering Managers - https://grnh.se/c913db4e2us

In short, we value product-mindedness, an appreciation for functional programming principles, and humility in our Engineers. Check out the JDs after the jump for more info.

If you'd talk informally first hit me up on andreas (at) pitch (dot) io.

> To be fair, that’s a frequent complaint from the US Right, too.

How is that being fair?

In the US it's a meaningless opinion and doesn't represent the cultural beliefs of an all-powerful dictatorship that has ruled the nation for multiple generations.

Coming from the CCP or its cultural proxies it's a de facto cultural dictate. A US conservative might think children shouldn't be playing video games for more than three hours per week, and that's largely an opinion without any consequential power behind it (no matter who holds the opinion). In China, if Xi or the CCP proclaims they think something is bad or XYZ should be, it's a specific threat/warning about what's going to happen, it's a roadmap of how they plan to forcibly mold the society.
Probably too late to get a response.

It isn’t their arguments that I’m avoiding it is their emotional response to my questions. They may have valid perspective, but if I can’t ask questions and feel safe doing so I won’t.

I think a person being fragile is independent of their arguments. Unfortunately, people who I label as fragile I won’t ever get to hear their arguments fully articulated due to their (as the person) fragility.

I heard that American movies, games, and sports are still popular in China, and Chinese-made goods are always popular in America. There's so much economic inter-dependency that a war will be rather inconvenient for many members of the ruling class of both countries.

(Not saying that it's impossible, but generally, if you are a high-ranking Chinese officer and your son is studying at UCLA, maybe it's a bad idea to nuke LA.)

Also, you have to take reports of Chinese military power with a grain of salt. The US military (and many politicians) would love to exaggerate China's power: that's how they get more budget.

Hey folks! We're Ravi and Josh, co-founders of Airplane (https://www.airplane.dev/).

Airplane is a developer platform for quickly building internal tools. Airplane lets you turn Python/JS/shell scripts, SQL queries, REST endpoints and more into lightweight internal apps that your support, operations, and other teams can use. Today, we provide UIs, notifications, permissions, approvals, audit logs, and more out of the box so that engineers only need to implement the backend logic of an operation. In the future, we'll support increasingly more complicated workflows and UIs.

Josh and I built Airplane due to our experiences at our previous companies. I previously co-founded Heap (YC W13) and Josh was CTO at Benchling (YC S12). During my time at Heap, we often had people on the professional services, success, etc. teams escalating issues to solutions engineers or infra engineers, who would then run one-off scripts to solve issues. This process was error-prone, interrupt-heavy, and annoying for everyone involved.

At Benchling, Josh built an internal system that solved part of these problems and was some of the initial inspiration for Airplane.

We would love to hear your feedback on Airplane! It's free to sign up and start using.
Looking at OP's photos, I can't discern any such markings.
I've been searching a stack which could allow for a single codebase to be rendered in Android, iOS, and the web, and React Native + React Native Web might be the top choice for that. Other competitor includes Flutter, which used to only render canvas on the web, but right now it seems they have an option to render as HTML as well.

I bet the need for cross-platform stack might continue to rise in the future. It's just impossible for small team/solo founder to target 3 different platforms, while handling three different codebases.
Generally it's slower because you can't use overlay mounts without root.
It's pretty easy to create one yourself (from an open MR https://github.com/containers/toolbox/pull/483/files#diff-21...), but it would have been nice to have out of the box.

I've used buildah to set up a C/C++ dev environment in a Ubuntu toolbox at work without any major issues.

To verify and prove that you have a new, original thought, you essentially need to address everyone who's every written about it before, and their arguments (or at least intermediaries who have already done that). A lot of philosophical texts are "I have this new theory", and the remainder of the text is "so-and-so said this, but they are wrong/my idea is different because...". Think of something like Kant's Metaphysics of Morals. The vast majority of the text is little different from a proof with QED at the end.

In physics, you learn formulas, and those can/do build on top of each other (as well as mathematical axioms/shortcuts). Reading Aristotle isn't any different in that sense. You aren't reading Aristotle for The Physics. You're reading it for ethical theory (and virtue ethics in theory), the underpinnings of philosphy of science, and Aristotelian/term logic (so you can understand the arguments of later authors prior to propositional logic).

In order to understand philosophical thought and argument, it's necessary to have this knowledge, and it's no different than me saying "in the process of studying physics, you have to study geometry" (as a prerequisite to later mathematics). This isn't any different, and putting the study of philosophy in some sort of "philosophy is slow" or "can only be understood in the historical and/or cultural context" box denigrates the entire discipline from a position of ignorance.

> The free version of Locast's service interrupts programming every 15 minutes "with a fifteen-second video requesting donations," Stanton noted

It doesn't seem like they actually needed to shut down. They didn't just interrupt the broadcast, the notifications would stop, and then exit out of the app. You could go back into it and watch for another fifteen minutes or so, and then you'd get another "give us some money or these notifications continue" notification.

The judge's ruling was that this means of "forcing" of users to "donate" weren't voluntary donations at all and that locast was therefore not a non-profit. They could have continued by either actually making the donations truly voluntary or by operating as a for-profit.
But it's not a limited amount of concepts. One sphere in a vacuum is easy, three spheres is hard. Git has half a dozen subtle interacting data structures. But because people have built up a lot of experience working with them (and don't coach beginners and non-programmers) they shout "it's just an ADG, so simple!" and pretend like everything is fine...
When human drivers cause accidents, the causes are collected and analyzed, and laws are proposed to prevent future accidents from happening. It doesn't matter if it's 12 or 12 thousand, or even zero crashes... if there's fear, then society will demand something be done.

The fact that AI can give no easily understood excuses, and improvements to the algorithms is a trade secret means that any fear cannot be abated, aside from outright banning of AI driving.

My understanding is that blue board is also much stronger than drywall and has better sound deadening properties.

Most of the texture in drywall comes from the paint and is intentional to hide imperfections. Joint compound is used at the seams to hide and smooth out imperfections, it's of a different texture than the drywall itself and a truly flat paint job would reveal all the seams. Blue board avoids this by coating the entire surface and joints in a skim coat of plaster.
My (young, bald, very white) professor in college was in China when that happened. He got a call while in his hotel room from a friend telling him to stay inside, so naturally he ran outside to see what was going on. As soon as he got out the door and found out from a very large crowd of very angry people, he said he threw his hands up in the air and yelled "I'm Canadian!" and promptly returned to his room as quickly as he could.

I always get a bit of a sad chuckle that we Americans tend to default to that whenever confronted abroad.
People usually mean low-skilled immigrants when they talk about economic migration. High-skilled immigrants are more likely to choose a particular company or even a specific job opportunity than a specific country. They don't move to a country because they want to live there but because many of the best opportunities for a person with their particular skills and networks happen to be there. They don't choose between country A and country B when they don't have any particular reason to move, but between taking a specific opportunity in country A and not taking the opportunity.

Well, the judges ruling says the opposite.
This will sound naive, but going back to first principles, the real root problem seems to be the lack of a true digital "ownership" option. If libraries had an option to choose between digital ownership, vs digital subscriptions, at least they'd retain some foundational level of control over digital media that they bought and own.

I feel that as an tech/media industry, we either lost our way or just intentionally chose this path, where we have generally wrongly equated ownership with DRM. But a basic definition of ownership includes the "legal right to use, possess, and give away a thing"[1]... being able to give away a digital object (i.e. via copying), is in no way incompatible with ownership. It's just that today's class of rights holders prefer to rent-seek via licensing, but that is not an insurmountable problem (i.e. it's hard to imagine that in a post-scarcity Star Trek future, they'd still be dealing with software/media licensing in the same way that we do today).

My impression was that because of the PIN used it was a lot riskier for the consumer with European cards: the credit card companies essentially said "the PIN was correct, so it could not have been fraud" so the default assumption was no fraud.

In the U.S. the system favors the consumer, so the merchant has to actively prove that it was not fraud (by default, this is definitely not blindly applied).

The signature part is one part of this, but the U.S. actually has laws in place to push this, and that largely has driven the non-PIN policy in the U.S. (since most of the anti-fraud pressure is on other parts of the system).
Looks like it's potentially fixed but maybe still some lingering cache issues.
I think the threat from articles dressed up as smart from The Economist is bigger. Especially since they still do the incredibly unaccountable no writer byline thing. Only cowards and people who want to hide behind undeserved institutional reputation do this.

You said you missed two things in Python:

> Oh and how I miss one line if statements and conditional assignment when I'm in Python.

derac provided an example exercising both. To separate them:

One line if statements:

if predicate: expression

Conditional assignment:

a = 1 if predicate else 0

The else is to permit the conditional assignment, it's a ternary operation, it is not for the if statement.
