The advantage is that Git's data structure is an open design, with existing tools able to introspect and possibly manipulate it, with potential users and contributors able to leverage their existing knowledge, and with documents/projects still being parseable decades from now.

I have dreams of implementing an music composition tool / audio editor with a line-oriented edit-decision-list (EDL) text file format that where changes could map coherently onto git history. Ideally, that EDL format would be an open standard as well: I've contemplated the Pure Data file format and AES31 as possible candidates. This is just at the conceptual stage, though.
No. The research used Tetris. Their conclusions are likely to generalize to other similar visual/spatial puzzle games (like, say, Bejeweled), but probably not to more realistic games.

Wasn’t SB239 mostly passed so that people whose HIV treatment has rendered it untransmissible can resume normal sexual activity without having to warn everyone they hook up with? I’d agree it’s a weird way to go about it - probably would be better to just make it not a crime at all if HIV has reached undetectable levels in your blood for at least six months instead of reducing it to a misdemeanor for everyone with HIV - but I often see people bring up this law without the context of the advancements in HIV treatment that motivated it.

Edit: Looks like it was mostly passed because the prior laws were almost exclusively used to charge sex workers with felonies when they’re brought in for minor charges like solicitation - they’d get convicted for solicitation, forcibly tested for HIV, and then get their misdemeanor solicitation charge upgraded to a felony if they tested positive, even if there’s no evidence they were going to engage in activity with a high risk of transmission or not take precautions to prevent transmission.

This seems similar to rape cases but even harder to prove since as the act itself would starts with consensual sex. So how will it be proven in court?

I agree, Trump supporters staged an armed, violent riot at the US Capitol. If you're so out of the loop you haven't seen the hours and hours of footage and social media evidence that shows that the vast majority of attendees were parts of far-right organizations, which organized the riot, I can't help you.

Thank you again for immediately dropping the idea that the police officers that died as a result died of unrelated causes, what a disgusting, gullible view to take of things. An argument in such bad faith it rivaled your "99.9% peaceful riot" one, you might want to look up what "peaceful" and "riot" mean.

Huh, I've actually had pretty good experiences with venison. My family weren't hunters, but our house was on an old farm that had been planted over with a pine forest, and we used to have guys come by and ask to hunt on our property (farmers doing population control), and they would give us the first deer they got. Anyways, those were always pretty good, not gamey at all. I think that may have something to do with all the local deer being fat lazy stupid nuisance animals with far too much available food.

For distribution of some plain documents, PDFs etc, our company does maintain a FTP. We usually point the link on a need-to-know basis since AWS download charges can ratchet up quickly. Sometimes a SFTP is needed to do bulk transfer of data. Again, the hard links are never posted anywhere outside of need-to-know group.

Going further, we have a couple of dev offices geographically apart. Large tarballs and/or assets are shared by private P2P.

In my org we never use Airflow to compute anything. We only use a single operator: PythonOperator.

All business and data access logic is encapsuled in REST APIs. Our DAGs are responsible for calling those APIs in the correct order, in the correct time, retrying when needed. I really dislike using Airflow for anything else, as it generally becomes a huge mess.

I gotta disagree there -- that change merely brought HIV in line with other communicable diseases. Now, maybe one can make an argument that knowingly exposing someone to any of a class of communicable diseases, based on the seriousness of those diseases, should be a felony. But singling out HIV exposure to be categorically distinct from every other disease doesn't seem reasonable or just.

Yes. You've made up an imaginary enemy in your head and you are talking down to others based on the imaginary Reddit company in your head.

The reason those other communities were banned were for targeted harassment, doxing of real people, and brigading other subreddits. Reddit has never stated that they were any rules on the "morality" of the content. The communities that are still around have not broken those rules yet.

This is for civil liability in "stealthing", specifically because criminal charges in this area are hard to prove, and DA's are thus reluctant to prosecute. Stealthing is already illegal in California.
I work for a "no-code" app (Kalipso Studio) with focus in logistics and shop floor applications. But the programmer needs to have some basic programming skills and at a little bit of SQL. This guy is a bit exaggerated. We have many costumers using this manly to interface PLC that now come with Webservices or have other software to convert the protocol, etc... We have companies using this to control robots, but the movements was natively programing. Now they just use our software to manage the robot, get data/statistics, and load different parameters. I don't think the "no-code" is for people with less skills. Our clients buy this because they what to be more productive, or they can't or don't want to buy the solution from a external company. Governments and military also don't like external companies, so they buy to use internally like big companies. And apps in the industries are always changing, so they need to be fast to adapt. They don't need a very fancy interface, most of them will never be published, they are not building a Tiktok app.
>Of note here, it's the assumption that the distribution of gifted and talented eligibility attributes is uniformly distributed among different groups of students and that somehow the system is not picking up eligibility signals for specific students. There is some emerging evidence that this is the case for Black students, as the identification gap between Black and White students closes when the G&T assessor is Black (I think that Grissom has a recent paper on this).

Absolutely. I don't have any reference right now, but numerous studies have shown that schools in poor, minority neighborhoods are significantly worse than other schools.

What can make a big difference is having higher levels of expectation for student performance and backing that up with tools to increase it. But it's pretty clear that many teachers and school administrators in those poorly performing schools don't have those high expectations, nor do they make the effort to encourage those who would benefit from G/T programs and get them into those programs.

When the people who are charged with educating you don't make the effort, then why should the students?

The solution is to make the bad schools better, not destroy the programs that could benefit those students just as much as those from other schools.

anecdotes work both ways. Consider Israel:

Of 514 patients in Israel hospitalized with COVID-19 as of Aug. 15, 59 percent were fully vaccinated, according to an Aug. 16 article from Science that cited national data tracked by Israel's largest health management organization

this is in a country that had < 60% vaccinated at the time.

personally I think the vaccines are worthwhile for some people, but I wouldn't call them an unqualified success either. Most people are going to uncritically quote the factoids that they like and do mental gymnastics around the factoids they don't like.

I think that what has your mind boggled is mostly your bias (respectfully). I'm not even saying you're wrong fwiw.
> Are you saying [extreme borderline-strawman statement that is obviously not what I said at all]

I'm saying it's possible that a few extremely powerful corporations chose to develop a vaccine that is less useful than it could have been, and are profiting off the difference. I'm also saying that the big ones might have enough influence to get away with a less-effective vaccine than some smaller player who can get swallowed up, if needed.

I'm also aware that the scientific consensus you seem to think exists about the vaccine, doesn't.

I'm also aware that you don't need to get all those experts on board - just like 20 years ago when it was the tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists who thought the government was spying on them, all you have to do is make the dissidents look ridiculous.

Lizard people, eh?

For those like me who were confused by what's the deal with removing the "at least" 15% for Ireland:

> The vast majority of companies will not be impacted by the proposed increase in the 12.5 per cent corporate tax rate, Taoiseach Micheál Martin had said earlier in relation to this point.

> Speaking in Dublin ahead of a Cabinet meeting, he confirmed the Government’s intention was still to only apply the new 15 per cent rate to companies with turnovers of more than €750 million, in line with OECD proposals on the matter.

so spend how much of my time and theirs going through the entire interview process to find out the answer to a trivial question that could make or break any final decision?

....Or...and hear me out here...fuck that noise.

if people are making snap judgement about candidates from asking a basic company culture/hr question during the interview question, then the candidate winds up having dodged a bullet one way or the other.
They might agree to raise the rate to 15%, but in reality they will turn around and give tax credits, exemptions, or some other mechanism to bring the effective rate back down to whatever level brings in business.

Biden won’t remember anyway ;)

The bitcoin blockchain is public. This means the transaction history of every single bitcoin can be traced. It also means bitcoins are not fungible, you can tell bitcoins apart from each other.

If your bitcoin has ever touched a criminal wallet, chances are it will be blacklisted. Exchanges will refuse to accept it.

> Is there a public list of blacklisted addresses we can download/query?

Yes.

It's also interesting how the US treasury tried to blacklist a Monero wallet and ended up sanctioning a transaction hash instead.

I don't know. I've seen some exchanges refuse to accept bitcoins from "unhosted" wallets, meaning they consider all non-exchange wallets to be tainted.

> I've never heard of the helmet integrity issue. Doesn't seem plausible with a sturdy commuter-grade helmet.

I've seen it in a few places. I dug up some notes:

The following is from: "The Do's and Don'ts of Bike Helmet Care" at Consumer Reports (15 April 2017)
https://www.consumerreports.org/bike-helmets/the-dos-and-don...

* "The strap and/or adhesive mounts could damage the helmet, especially if they’re installed less than perfectly."

* "the larger problem is the camera itself. A helmet is designed to have a surface without protrusions, and a camera represents a significant one. / ... "Anytime you add an external component to a helmet, you can change the performance of that helmet," says [Ian] Hall, [Consumer Product Safety Commission engineer]. "A helmet-mounted camera may become a projectile if it detaches in a crash, but a camera that remains attached could focus the forces applied to the rider’s head, increasing the risk of injury."

And from a Specialized helmet owner's manual: "Do not attach anything to your helmet, including mirrors or lights."
It’s a more practical solution to the problem. At the fringes of society, USPS is a closer to being an equitable and accessible bank than Wells Fargo is. Even if you did require Wells Fargo to serve unprofitable customers, they’re still not going to build a branch in the underserved areas where these services are needed.

Equitability will always be at odds with the profit motive of commercial banks. If anything, requiring banks to offer unprofitable services might just lead to more branches closing to avoid the losses.

There’s a reason you can’t send a letter for $0.58 via FedEx or UPS.
I would like to do woodwork and build furniture that I consider beautiful. A hard day’s work with your hands making perfect joints and chair legs, treating the wood. And cooking, I want to be able to prepare a really high end meal all in one go, master chef or chefs table style. Japanese Italian fusion probably, I have some ideas for tortellini in brodo but with Japanese flavours. Also I like traveling, I want to do a Vipassana in India. I wouldn’t need my precious Internet there. Maybe my life would be better if I wasn’t a programmer.
There are a lot of reasons HIV exposure laws don’t work well: they treat HIV differently than any other disease (because they were originally designed as anti-homosexual laws), and the “knowingly” part discouraged people from getting tested, which is worse for public health. The law referenced in the OP article is about consent, not disease transmission.
Similar to the way most violent crimes are proven -- confessions.
> You think John Carmack was the only one trying to make 3d games when Doom came out? Thousands of programmers where trying to. Does that make him a 10x programmer in your opinion? Or more like a 1000x?

I think the idea of 10x programmers gets so much pushback because it's often bundled with this kind of toxic hero worship. There's a difference between acknowledging the impressive ability of outliers, and idolizing heroic one-man efforts as the pinnacle of what we should all aspire to as software developers.

Incidentally, Carmack was not the only programmer on early id Software games, and Doom was far from the first 3d first-person game made. Arguably, it wasn't even that ambitious compared to, say, Ultima Underworld, but the programmers working on that get much less immediate recognition.

As a matter of fact, these discussions often remind me of that famous IGN quote of Warren Spector. Except we really should know better on HN.

I suspect I might be the target audience, but I can't tell what this project is from the front page. With a little digging it looks like a considerable investment of time to find that out.

I think an example, with code, of a problem encountered with plain Laravel that this architecture - that's "not another architecture" - solves would be more helpful than the broader messaging that's there now, especially since it is addressing a fairly technical audience.

Perhaps it is difficult to explain, but that's all the more reason to provide concrete examples up front.
One use for this is using old android tablets as ambient display screens - you just autostart a browser on an mjpeg url and update the image to update the screen. Note that mjpeg doesn't have a frame rate - it just renders the frames as they show up, so you don't actually have to keep sending them when they're not changing... except that chrome is buggy about not actually rendering the image right when it shows up :(

(I did a version of this in bash with netcat, and here-documents for the mime parts, which is where I ran into the problem. https://underjord.io/live-server-push-without-js.html was the inspiration for the display-screen case...)
If people don't get tested, they literally die. There's plenty incentive to get tested as-is.

I stopped doing production FTP about 20 years ago.

Now I use rsync over SSH, or SFTP.
I use rsynch over ssh for my static site because it handles deltas better than ftp.

I used ftp last week to download a dataset from a vendor. (MolPort distributes chemical datasets over password-protected ftp.)

I haven't upgraded Firefox because they dropped ftp support, and it's really nice to use my browser to view a site, read update notices, etc. before switching to ncftp for the actual data downloads.
The HIV medications aren't exactly side effect free and, unlike STDs such as herpes, result in death if you don't take them. HIV isn't just another communicable disease.
