Ever since I learned about Git merge strategies and wrote a very basic one myself, I've been wanting to write one that syntaxticly understands a bit of the test framework code we use at work. It is super annoying when you copy a test because you want to vary a very specific case and gig gets all confused about what code is and isn't the same.

Google search is good because it tracks what links people click and knows when they come back to go to a different url on the page. if 99% of people visit the top result for a query, return, then hit the second one, chances are that the top result never answers what the search query asks.

>The American Dream may no longer be about buying a home, but renting one

There should be a stipulation that if you see this line or one like it, you append "in high value areas where there are lots of high paying jobs". If the American Dream is defined as owning a home (and nothing more), then there are multiple affordable areas outside of the traditional hotbed areas like LA, DC, and NYC.

I looked at Dragon Ball Z. The first two entries were for actual episodes, but of Dragon Ball Heroes, not Dragon Ball Z. The last one was for "season 5 episode 65" but was actually a thread for the most recent movie, that contained the string "5.65" in the title.

Of course, I did choose this series because I thought it would be especially likely to have problems, but YMMV.

> You know doing it from the start of things is a bit misleading, right?

No, this is absolutely false. Please stop spreading misinformation. You know as well as I do that diseases move from region to region, and burn through some regions quickly while they slowly move through others. What matters is the total deaths after everything is said and done, and you must understand this -- everyone else does. There is no advantage to having your population killed earlier rather than later, or later rather than earlier.

Please stop misleading people in the arena of public health - total deaths per capita during the entire course of the disease is how reasonable people measure the toll of the disease and the overall success or failure of any approach.
I know plenty of people who don't use ad blockers (indeed, most of the people I know do not), and I would not say they are more productive.

You might ask: is it that someone who doesn't block ads just doesn't care about them, and so they don't affect his productivity one way or the other, while someone who does care about ads might be more inclined to work more rather than idly browse? I have witnessed many people start using ad blockers and not become less productive. I have witnessed people move to work environments where they could not install ad blockers, and they did not become more productive or browse the web at work less. So, my conclusion is "no"!
Then call your ISP! They are tracking them, too!

interesting read

do think that it would be better the leave out the mention of BCI and criminal accusations.

Perhaps an edited version with just the first two paragraphs and the citations should be made in text
Many people would be fine with that solution, it's definitely more robust in a lot of ways.

A few reasons I like my remarkable (I have an original and a 2, and got my wife one):

1. forced isolation - no notifications come into this device when I'm using it out of the box. It's a nice intentionally crippled feature for focus.

2. The feel. It's like writing on paper, or very near to it. The texture of the tablet and the pencil together is really ... remarkable. It's not at all the same as writing on an iPad or iPad Pro.

3. I doubt in a quantitative comparison the remarkable would beat the iPad in latency, but it still feels damn good. Surprisingly good compared to other touch screen/pencil tablets.

Gripes:

- some edge effects when writing, loses some precision

- the touch buttons on the original were more ergonomic for navigation, the swipe gestures in the 2 seem to work 50-60% on the first try.

- replacing the nubs on the pencil is annoying, but I barely made it through my first included package with the remarkable 1, so not a real problem.

- software is rudimentary. A lot of quality of life features do not exist and maybe should. The writing app, which should kind of be the only thing given attention is pretty far behind, and has only made small improvements (at least visibly to me, this is not to diminish what I am sure is a lot of behind the scenes work to make everything fast).

I probably wouldn't jump to buy a third one, unless it had physical navigation buttons, but the progression from 1 to 2 was pretty amazing. The thing was already thin, but the 2 is so thin I'm amazed it can house a USB-C port.

Very misleading title. The claim actually articulated in the article is that kids these days make heavy use of search functions and thus tend not to organize their files into subfolders. Nowhere in the article is there anything about students being unware of the ability to do this, nor any indication that students don't know what files and directories are. If anything, the article claims it is in fact the professors who are only now coming to appreciate the utility of search functions.

> And Garland, the astrophysicist teaching an engineering course, has started using her PC's search function to find files in the same way her students do. "I'm like, huh ... I don’t even need these subfolders," she said.

How to read and take notes while reading non-fiction
If you've got two pair, you can probably run 100BaseTx, even if the cable is not up to cat5 spec, especially if the runs are short and separated from other lines; Ethernet specs are for 100 meter distances most of which is in a tight conduit with other high frequency data transmissions. Old in-home phone wiring is likely not tightly packed or very long.

If you've got an old house with old telephone wiring, it's probably wired as a bus, if you want to re-use that for ethernet, you'll want to split it up so each phone jack gets wired as two ethernet jacks; one in each direction. If you're using ethernet in the room, you'll need a (small) switch, and you'll want to be careful to buy 10/100 switches if you've only got two pair as Ethernet autonegotiation can easily do the wrong thing and you don't want to pay for managed switches in each room. If there's no ethernet use in a room, still wire it up for two ports, but put a small patch cable between the two.

If you've got star topology phone wiring, there's a better chance of cat5 cabling and 4-pair and you can run gigE. GigE will sometimes run on cat3 for small distances too though. The only question is if the central location where the star wires meet is convenient for a switch. In a pinch, you can use a PoE powered switch and power it from one of the other ends of the star.

Of course, some houses are a mix of star and bus or generally some form of tree. Anywhere that there's a branch, you want to put one ethernet port for each direction. And hopefully all the branches are accessible.

There's really no need for DSL equipment in your own home, unless you've only got one pair wiring.

> Perhaps I am missing something here, but are you referring to vehicles in this context? Is it not common to always fill your tank to the top?

Depends. When I am in a hurry I buy fuel for an exact amount of cash, so that I can hand over cash and move on.

When I am not, I fill up to the first click[1], and then wait for the attendant to amble on over with a payment terminal so I can use my card.

If I was always paying cash, I would never fill up because I don't really want to hang about while they make change for whatever money I give them.
[1] I had a 1986 BMW 525e that, if you filled up to the very top, will leak out excess fuel through an overfill pipe when on a slight (or not so slight) incline. Filling up to the top wasted that fuel.
It's treated as a bridge for those who need some life skills before moving onto something else. A lot of jobs requiring responsibility don't want to hire a kid who has no experience other than smoking dope and video games, and retail will give them some proof they can deal with some progressive responsibility.

Not a bridge for others. It's fine that it's a bridge for some and not one for others. If stores decide retail is a career job, then they will pay career ladder wages, otherwise market forces make retail as a bridge a self fulfilling prophecy.

The issue is if the government dictates a certain minimum wage for retail workers, then they've just outlawed any jobs that provide less value than that wage. You don't gain jobs by outlawing jobs, and those desiring the bridge to something more will be hurt the worst.

There's a fairly old book by William Poundstone "Prisoner's Dilemma: John von Neumann, Game Theory, and the Puzzle of the Bomb". I can't vouch for it, as I read it long ago and don't remember just how much of a biography it was. It's very readable though.
It's great to see lite on front page - such an incredible feat of engineering, making a cozy editor in less than 5k LoC of Lua (plus the C host). Robust text editing, syntax highlighting, command palette, pane splitting and management, plugin support and more. Writing plugins is simple and powerful.

The original lite and Lite XL are meant to run on desktops. I've recently started my own fork of lite[1] that allows it to run in VR environment. Once done I plan to use it as a competent editor for a VR-first development environment. I'm really digging the simplicity of Lua as a platform.

It gives the delivery company a big incentive to switch to electric vehicles or ebikes or something more efficient. This harnesses market power to push companies to be more efficient with their resources: the ones who are more innovative at avoiding CO2 usage will see financial benefits.

Hey, I've always had a question which perhaps you can answer.

In essence, we're still burning lots and lots of carbon just to extract energy. Thermodynamics says to reverse the process and get carbon from CO2 we need to put all that energy back, with a hefty bonus due to inefficiencies.

So how can it be feasible to afford enough energy to "unburn" a century's worth of burnt carbon if we can't even get enough energy to avoid burning new carbon in the first place? Like, our energy generation might double in a few decades, but this "unburning" would require so much spare energy that it doesn't seem likely to achieve as soon as the second half of this century.

Japan's internet infrastructure, at least in Tokyo where I lived for a bit, is amazing. Most buildings were wired up with fiber (this is ~2011) with 100 Mbps up/down pretty standard and cheap (~$30/month at the time I think). Pretty sure you had 300+ speeds available then too. The fiber is from the national telecom, with dozens of ISPs for your actual service, and email etc. if you wanted it. My apartment had a switch somewhere too I realized, with each room having an ethernet jack. Needless to say, it was rough going back to the US after that.

It's a different mentally. From tailwinds landing page it explains the reasoning.

But instead think in terms of utility and really making it a language of it's own right.

> then asking the machine for a whole bucketful of data, which should be a superset of what you're actually looking for. For something like a user's transactions you'll want to have basically everything there at once, so loading the "order history" page for the past month might be a single query that just returns a report: no joins at all, very fast, super scalable.

Not really a superset, cassandra (and scylla, and bigtable, all of which are basically copying bigtable's model) each try very hard not to read any extra data at all, and can often return approximately the exact data requested, modulo serialization data which is usually fitting in ~compression chunk size (64k) + checksum.

> If you're using Cassandra and you're also not a fool, it's probably because you actually need a lot of scale

Cassandra also gives you very literally the most control over CAP tradeoffs of any database in the industry.

If you have 100 machines per DC in each of 10 dcs, what happens when one machine is offline? one rack? one dc? 2 dcs separated from 8? 6 dcs separated from 4? There's no single answer in cassandra (depends on replication factor, consistency of writes, consistency of reads, all of which are tunable, with 2 of those being tunable PER QUERY), the CAP tradeoffs are yours and yours alone. That flexibility is powerful for power users (it's also confusing for novices, which is unfortunate).

But to your first point, yes, the point is scale. The lack of opinions and deliberate functionality are designed to enable it to scale to thousands of hosts, potentially petabytes of data, trivially accessible in a single SQL-like CQL query, with realistic read latency < 1ms mean/avg and < 5ms p99 for a tuned workload where you know what you're doing. A lot of users will never need a database that can do a million reads per second across a thousand machines reaching p50 1ms on 2 petabytes of data, but Cassandra can do that, and you don't have to build a whole sharding layer on top of mysql/postgres/redis or even install Scylla to get there.

> Fortunately we didn't go the German route

You're missing the fact that all German nuclear power plants are already beyond their initial lifespan and that there simply has been no renewal of operation licenses.

No new reactors have been built since the mid-1980s so this isn't exactly a recent trend. The same applies to France, btw. The newest reactor in France started construction in 2007(!) and is expected to become operational in 2023(!).

The next newest French reactor started construction in 1991...

I find this concept utterly baffling, but probably because I've never worked at this kind of org. I can see how letting engineers run their own process is great for engineering efficiency, but how do they know what to deliver and when?

My conjecture (please confirm or deny) is that these self-organizing teams are a result of and not a cause of big successful companies. You are probably iterating on a very well-understood and successful business model with a huge cushion for mistakes because you have some much revenue.

By contrast, I have mostly worked in consulting and non-tech orgs. If we don't show that we're spending their budget on high value features, we get layoffs. Hence we not only need very thorough clarity on what feature development will yield the greatest returns, but also deniability that we had good reason for doing what we were doing if it turns south.
