Caribou helps software teams manage long-term technical migrations in their projects. For example migrating from one networking library to another or migrating a codebase from one programming language to another. These changes usually happen over a span of a few months and without any tooling, they can be difficult to manage. It’s difficult to understand how much progress has been made, what is still left to do and who are the engineers helping move the migration forward. Caribou was built to solve these problems.

So how does it work? In simple terms, Caribou is a Github application which, after configured, monitors all the changes in your repository and displays a dashboard with the progress of specific migrations along with who is contributing to these migrations. Caribou allows you to define all sorts of migrations using an easy-to-use rules engine; for example changing the project architecture, replacing a library or changing some coding conventions. You can get inspired by our examples in the docs section.

Before building Caribou, we were working in a fast growing startup for a number of years. As part of managing our engineering teams, we wanted a way to see the technical improvements happening in the codebase and an easy way to recognise those engineers that work on these improvements. Unfortunately, we did not find anything that we could use off-the-shelf for this, and so we built Caribou!

Caribou is currently in Beta and is available for free. Please go ahead and give it a try! Let us know what you think!

First, it's not at all clear that QE benefits the rich. The Fed insists that QE lowers interest rates, but the evidence of that is mixed. Here is a study:
https://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/files/KrishnamurthyV...

Basically they argue that in some fixed income markets, QE can lower rates because of "technical" reasons -- e.g. there is a captive market for the bonds. But not corporate bonds.

Moreover, QE results in a beautiful policy schizophrenia, where the same person can simultaneously believe all of the following:

* Raising interest rates benefits the rich who are coupon clippers and want hard money

* Lowering rates is good as it euthanizes the rentier and reduces immoral interest

* Lowering rates is bad as it hurts the poor with high house prices and helps the rich get richer from asset bubbles.

* Lowering rates is good because it causes inflation that helps debtors rather than creditors

* raising interest rates is good for the banks because they earn more interest on deposits

* lowering interest rates is bad for the banks because they are not able to earn much on the assets they purchase

Beyond the effect of interest rates, does QE do anything? I don't think so.

QE does not increase money in circulation. Money in circulation goes up when the policy rate is zero because there is little incentive to keep your money in a savings account when those pay basically nothing. This indifference on the part of households is not economic stimulus. People don't run out and start spending money as a result of QE.

But there may be another channel -- perhaps it freaks people out enough that they change their spending behavior as a result of being bothered by QE.

Thus being aware that almost no one understands what QE does may be the key to knowing how it works. It's dadaist monetary policy, where the public is thrown into fear and confusion.

The key, then, is to control the confusion.

* If you want people to spend a lot of money on consumption, then play up how QE is "money printing" that will cause massive inflation.

* If you want people to spend money on investment, then promise asset bubbles and capital gains.

* If you want QE to discourage investment, then play up how the long durations make investments highly sensitive to very distant returns and so probably everything is mispriced and too volatile. Stay away from the asset markets!

Whatever you need, QE is the answer.
My mom already "owns" whatever money my dad makes and vice versa. They file jointly and have partnership+joint accounts. This has been the case for 40+ years. The money won't go to her when he dies. It's already hers. I see what you're getting at but that's a bad example.

Twitter doesn’t load on iOS if you have even basic content blockers enabled. I’m guessing they are artificially crippling the site to make you disable ad blocking.

Once you disable Adblock, you realize that clicking on almost anything will show a modal asking you to create an account (feels like playing minesweeper to find the links that will work). That modal - once opened - is unclosable until you make the account or start over. It’s incredibly frustrating to repeatedly enter this unclosable UI.

You think it’s all over once you’ve disabled Adblock and created an account? Nope! Now you are harassed at every opportunity to “download the app”

You should actually read up on some of the work of some of these prize winning economists - lots of them actually have very insightful and useful contributions to society.

I cannot recommend enough the book "Who Gets What and Why" by Alvin Roth, a former Nobel Prize winner. Among other things, he created the world's first successful Kidney exchange program for donors. The book eloquently lays out how to design functional markets of exchange when money is not a resource available.

His work is easy to understand, eloquent, and literally saves lives. This is exactly the kind of thing worth celebrating.

That's an odd generalization to apply when we're talking about an individual whose significant academic record is easy to find [0,1]. Many department heads are more senior, taking on organizational responsibilities that would be more of a burden to younger faculty. Perhaps that is what you're referring to. But in the scheme of things EAPS is - and always has been - high on the rigor scale and low on the bureaucracy scale.

Also even ignoring the direct price of the fuel, unlike for most things for heating it makes practical sense to burn gas in your house to make it hotter, not burn gas in a power station, then ship the power to your house and use that to make it hotter.

A modern home boiler is very efficient, because what you wanted was heat, which is exactly what you get by burning gas. The gas turbine at a power station has to do the same conversion (burn gas to make heat) but then also convert the heat into electricity, and that's before transport loss.

In the ideal world, the choice is between "Burn gas in your home" (bad, accelerates climate change) and "Use renewable electricity" (good, although maybe expensive depending on policy decisions). But for many people today there is no choice, resistive electrical heating would still burn gas in a power station and just cost them a lot more.

Heat pumps tilt the scales, if they're practical for you, it really is possible that a heat pump running on electricity that's actually produced by burning gas works out cheaper and more environmentally friendly than just burning the gas yourself. And of course a heat pump powered by wind is entirely practical and potentially quite cheap.
> The first part of that sounds like the natural tech-illiteracy of a business leader; the second part says they don't believe their own schtick.

You're right that what I wrote did sound that way, but that's because my wording wasn't correct. No one was ever "forced" to pay for back ups. One guy decided that he wasn't going to pay for them himself. After a couple of years, his server went down and there was no back-up. The boss fired him for negligence and then sent the server off to an expensive data-retrieval company. Legal then began a lawsuit against him, asking for the cost of the data-retrieval to be repaid. Also, any time someone called for an employment reference, the canned response was "We're in the middle of a negligence lawsuit against him at the moment, so the legal department says that all I can do is confirm that he worked here."

Eventually, he reached a settlement with the company for about half of the data recovery costs. However, no other admin ever dared not making their own personal back-ups again.

I've been experimenting with the PIO (Programmable I/O) system on the new microcontroller from Raspberry Pi. These are coprocessors for which the user can write code in a bespoke assembly language (PIOassm) to drive the GPIO ports. You can do really interesting stuff with these, like implement high-speed communication protocols (e.g. VGA) or offload tasks like driving stepper motors.

I've also been really interested in fractals and chaotic systems. For me, they're a nice bridge between interests in engineering and art. That's why this is drawing the Lorenz system in particular.

> That makes no observable difference to the end-user of JSON wishing to use it as an interchange format. The standard might as well be perfect, but if nearly all of its implementations (yes, extending that into deserialization, not just parsing - because that's how most people use JSON!) are problematic, then the standard is effectively also problematic. This is why I also always include Python's broken implementation in my JSON rant - it's not indicative of the standard(s) being bad, but the ecosystem being bad.

Yes it does makes a difference to the end user. Otherwise why single out JSON? XML or YAML would suffer from the exact same issue.

Deserializers are an anti-pattern if they don't follow a strict schema. The problem again isn't the JSON spec, it's some deserializers making assumptions about JSON types.

In practice data have specs and schemas so JSON/XML/... payloads should also have schemas.

I used Pale Moon https://www.palemoon.org/ for several years and it was OK. I went back to Firefox because of some compatibility issues.

Thank you for saying this! As a Realtor, I am constantly talking with people who are scared to sell a house because they are so sure they are going to be taxed to death, all while completely ignoring the big wad of cash that they will receive when they sell. People have an absolutely irrational fear of taxes to the point they do crazy things. Yes, I'm sure there are markets where if someone has lived in a house for decades they might have to be vaguely aware of capital gains, but in my market, practically speaking, nobody is lucky enough to have this as a problem.

Whether it's covered under CICP or VICP, we made a national security decision in the 1980s that having companies willing to make vaccines was a net positive, and thus set up a no-fault system funded by a tax on every vaccine dose administered.

Approval was never going to change the liability status. That's not the point of FDA approval.

The modern economic concept of tying wealth directly to economic output was a huge step.

What it stepped towards can be considered anything from utopia to irrecoverable disaster. Some people closer to the latter end of the scale consider economic limiters like deflationary currency (bitcoin et. al) and gold/silver standards as a good thing.

Once again, the only diets that work, work because you take in fewer calories than you burn.

Calorie counting restricts calories (obviously).

Fasting restricts calories (and hopefully enough to lose weight).

Keto often ends up lowering calorie intake, because you feel more full on fewer calories.

Exercise burns calories, helping contribute to weight loss (or at minimum, slowing weight gain, all things the same).

etc. etc.

There's no magic in Keto or IF. It's mostly just calories in, calories out. Anything else that it's doing is minimal enough to not worry about it.

The only thing that matters is finding something that works for you. If that's Keto, great. If that's IF, great. If that's just old-fashioned calorie counting, great.
I chose the word "eliminate" carefully. I did not say "eradicate", which is a different term. Epidemiologists distinguish between "elimination", which we could have accomplished had the initial response, by the previous American administration, not been so criminally negligent and incompetent, and "eradication", which is much more difficult. By contrast, we have eradicated smallpox. Thanks to vaccines and effective public health interventions (NPIs), the virus only exists in secure samples in a few BSL-4 labs.

* Refactoring large parts of the code - dangerous

Good ideas

* Finding perf wins - I assure they exist

* Finding a new team - you might not be able to do this immediately, but it's very likely you can find a better fit on another team
> The digits of pi are incompressible and unpredictable, yielding only to computation, but definitely not random

The BBP formula can be used to calculate the Nth digit of pi without computing all preceding digits. I'd say that's pretty successful compression.

> The word random implies a lack of order that we can't rightly claim knowledge of.

That we have no knowledge of it does not entail that no such knowledge exists. That's the point I'm trying to make: we have no evidence of such a distinction, we only have evidence of our ignorance of the sequence's cause. The universe could very well be completely deterministic, in which case the set of "random" sequences is empty.

Yeah. Part of Southwest‘s high utilization rate is their ability to turn around planes and crew quickly.

In the event of widespread disruption, planes will not make it to their next airport to become a different flight, nor will their crew. Crew can also only be awake and working for a limit of time, so if the disruption causes a crew to go over that limit they are not going out until the next day, etc.

With cloud computing, it‘s a bit different because which host you‘re using in a region doesn‘t really matter, but for airline a specific plane with specific people need to be in a specific time and place.

>credit card companies are liable for the transaction and they don't want to run up against federal law.

This. And while it's obviously not the same thing at all, since cannabis is a schedule 1[0] substance, the US government could treat processing credit card transactions for cannabis companies the same as they treated HSBC[1] or worse.

As such, until cannabis is moved off of schedule 1, Congress acts to make cannabis legal at the federal level, and/or the US Department of Justice makes it clear that providing banking services to cannabis companies will not be prosecuted under money laundering laws, US banks won't jump into the pool.
