The equivalent for fixing typos in a chain of commits in github is configure squash on merge, commit --fixup/--amend and finally push --force. Force pushing might ring some alarms and sound counter-intuitive, but as long as it's on an open PR that's not yet merged it's perfectly fine. In a way one could argue this is more git-native compared to Gerrits refs/for which does some server side processing of the Change-Id and whatnot to map it into one change. Biggest problem here is Githubs UI for indicating force-pushes is an abysmal line in the comment-list, instead of a showing all major updates to the branch in one place and mapping the comments to each of them.

Just small remark that I personally much prefer the Gerrit model over Github, both UI and the git interaction :) Just don't see either as any big barrier or deviation from git workflow, as long as you stay away from the github client of course.
If you're advising us to reject the article due to lack of evidence, it might help if you included any evidence whatsoever for your own assertion. You're not helping to clarify the issue at all here.
Interesting! Do you then move on to reading "normally" after applying this method to the first few pages? Seems tough to stick with for a whole reading session.

Reading physical books also may to be correlated to higher, active comprehension: "human beings need a knowledge of where they are in time and space that allows them to return to things and learn from re-examination" (article with related discussion https://readup.com/comments/the-guardian/skim-reading-is-the...)

You need this to be successful at anything. My cynical take is most people aren't, and see programing as some get rich quick scheme. If they did have these qualities they for the most part would already be successful
There may not be a price directly associated with the transaction, but it certainly has a cost. The fact that the cost is externalized does not eliminate it.
Why not teach them functional concepts (map, filter, reduce, etc are well supported and comfortable) and leave the horrors of Js classes alone?
It’s extremely suspect that they’re moving to ban anonymity and “legal but harmful”[0] speech as part of the response to an attack that doesn’t appear to have anything to do with online activity. It’s interesting how the tabloids that regularly call people incredibly vile things don’t get singled out…

Frankly, I think this is politicians getting tired of being heckled by the citizenry, and this is a convenient crisis to take advantage of. Must not be a lot of fun to go from giving speeches in parliament to being called a wanker or ratio’d online, but that seems like something they should get over rather than curtailing our rights.

The problem with any education is how do you figure out the actual value added?

We all know that kid who would learn stuff regardless of what environment he was put in, and his opposite. And then probably a fair few in the middle where the environment actually matters.

When you're looking at outcomes, how do you know which school is worth paying for? I'm facing this issue myself right now for my primary school kids.

The big issue statistically is selection. For an analogy, think of cars. Are Volvos safe, or do they just attract safer drivers? It's not impossible to tease out from stats in principle, but has anyone done it? With schools it's even worse. Is one school in a richer area? What about the cost, that will skew selection too? Does one school use an entrance exam? And the really big one, does a school kick out underperformers?

With respect to coding schools you have to wonder whether the "best" students are already creamed off by universities, such that Lambda School and their like are really just salvaging a few people who fell into unfortunate circumstances and are trying to help themselves out. Along with some unfortunates who are never going to be coders but buy the premise that you can be taught these things in a short period of time, you just have to pay.

In any case it seems like they are forced to produce numbers quite fast for business reasons, and this has caused them to present the stats in the most positive light possible. The virus situation is not an entirely crazy excuse, but it will be interesting to see what happens.
This is super interesting to me, and I wonder how long before someone intentionally gives themselves TP before founding a company. Considering the threads I saw on HN about homebrewing covid vaccines, I can't imagine it'll be long.
This is an opinion I see more and more, even among HN, and it deeply concerns me because it misses the reality of the situation.

Think of it this way:

1. The tree trunk is rotting.

2. There is a very real chance we cannot fix the rot, no matter how much we try.

3. Fixing the rot will not consume 100% of our available resources (fixing our environment is costly but logically cannot consume all we have)

4. Moving some eggs to a new nest in a new tree will not consume even close to 1% of our available resources (assuming a small but self sustaining set of colonies off-world)

5. The outcome of not getting new nests and not fixing the rot is extinction

6. The outcome of getting new nests and not fixing the rot is successfully avoiding extinction

A friend of mine put it this way: what is the cost of being wrong? If the cost is extinction, then we must act. Self-sustaining space colonization is the only outcome that guarantees success.

Therefore, we absolutely must do both, but not relying on earth is both less expensive and higher priority.
IDK is nuance is still a thing, but I said that the claim of a specific "well established" bias in Facebook "should not be taken at face value" and I think that there is enough evidence that it really isn't that simple or well-established, at all. That's not the same as one team "countering" the other.

Banning anonymous social media accounts and trying to strike down Section 230 are both obvious attempts at returning the power of disseminating information to the powerful.

Rush Limbaugh spent most of his adult life being a racist misogynist and getting paid handsomely for it. He found his niche and his audience. Bob Limbaugh, just a dude at Acme, would find it hard to retain a job making similar statements, even if they were less incendiary. Yet Bob would almost certainly be silenced if his online presence were tied to his actual identity, out of fear for his livelihood. And because Bob doesn't have a team of people to filter out confrontations, you're more likely to get an honest debate on the merits of ideas from Bob than you would have ever gotten from Rush even if it won't reach as many people.

Most people just want to live their lives, even if some of the things they believe are stupid or ridiculous.
Using 4chan to argue against what OP stated seems like the weakest form of strawman you could find. Could you choose something else, like Twitter?
I just pulled out one this weekend after my ISP decided to refresh my IP and gave me on that was apparently used by Satan himself. All google services were just blackholing my traffic, it was breaking everything. I have never seen it that bad before, I've gotten CAPCHAs before, but never have I seen it just plain never respond to SYNs. I tried to force it to refresh but their router was insistent on me keeping that cursed IP address.

For a temporary workaround I set up a VPN endpoint on a VPS and configured a disused Pi3 to route through to the VPN endpoint, then turned it into an AP and had everybody connect through the Pi instead. It bypassed the breakage for the day so I could leave the connection off overnight to force my ISP to reallocate that IP.

It is this kind of Swiss Army Knife type job where the Pi is a perfect solution.

From what I've seen the invasive data harvesting often does not come from developers themselves, but is rather requested by product and BI wanting to get more insights into the customers.

Anecdata I know, but I parachuted for two years and paraglided for a year (before airbags were a thing). I saw more injuries in paragliding and people I know broke hips, twisted ankles and bashed into dry-stone walls (head saved by a helmet, which was itself destroyed). The broken hip was a club instructor who was caught out landing.

In my parachuting experience I saw only one really bad accident: in an accuracy contest, a guy who was going to miss the target by a few feet, reached out with his feet and landed on the base of his spine. Stretchered away.

My own skydiving parachute malfunction occurred on opening at approx 2500 ft. The bastard main failed to emerge and I deployed my front-mounted reserve. The act of flipping onto my back unjammed the main and for a moment I had two canopies opening. The main won and I spent half a minute pulling in the reserve canopy so I could see where the fuck where I was going.

I didn't get the shakes until about ten minutes after landing. The jumpmaster confirmed the sequence of events and I got back on the horse and jumped again 40 minutes later.

YMMV
US-centric.

* Mid-year elections where 34 out of 100 senate seats are up for election. This is gonna pull us apart further. I expect a lot of violence.

* Inflation will raise more and faster.

* Stock market is gonna climb even higher as more and more money are gonna get printed by the feds. (SSI is getting a 5.9% boost!)

* Many companies will abandon mandatory in-office work for most of the back office type positions.
It wouldn’t, or depends on the field. Apple would be a notable competitor and they do the “just works” and “innovation” better than most.
That's more than fair.
This is certainly not the first time a vaccine required a booster. I had to get boosters for various diseases as my immunity waned and the idea that anyone should be surprised that a virus we have all collectively watched mutate into something far more deadly would require a booster is ridiculous. Anyone who thinks this is 'moving the goal post' should stop trying to pretend they have anything to contribute to the discussion.

If these selfish people want to avoid a vaccine we can simply exclude them from our society, because if there is any freedom they must respect it is the freedom the rest of us have to decide with whom we will associate. Their presence is a danger to us all. I will respect their choice to not join the rest of us in the modern world of vaccinations and public health and I expect them to respect our decision to keep them at a distance. I also propose we respect their decision and allow them to die as nature intended, without taking up valuable ICU and hospital resources. Create covid hospices where these plague rats can gasp out their last breath with all of the freedom they desire.
I believe you are talking about excellence which is correlated to, but not necessarily concommitant with success.

Anyone know the details, and nature of the update that has to be done?

I don’t know what is happening specifically with these apps (we’d have to look at their source code on a case by case basis) but to hypothesize:

Since 60hz has been a de facto standard on the Mac for decades I can imagine that a lot of apps may have a hard-coded 60hz timer for updating their window contents. This would completely negate the advantages of a 120hz on things like scrolling smoothness. These apps would need to be updated to not assume 60hz and instead update their window contents when requested to do so by the system. Furthermore, some applications which generate their window contents on demand (based on their internal data structures) may need new algorithms if they are too slow to update at 120hz. I know that many applications (including web browsers) I’ve used over the years can’t even keep up with 60hz updates when scrolling through a complicated document.
> I always heard "I don't know how to count that low" as more of a tongue-in-cheek joke about Google's scale, not necessarily a sign of smug superiority, or that work at smaller scales "didn't matter".

This is exactly correct. I dunno where the author's coming from, it sounds like they might be one of those people who frequently misinterprets others' intent.
First, just to be clear, these are not by any means “funny characters”. These are perfectly normal characters in languages used by these people.

Second, if you were trying to make a point that people can put Unicode emoji in their names, well, try doing that on a birth certificate and tell me what the registration office tells you. If you successfully manage to get an actual “funny character” in your legal name, let me know.
Or you know, that officer that was murdered.
I just wish google would release the brocolliman video where he says 'I forgot how to count that low'
Because Americans aren’t ready to pay for the infrastructure required to fix the problem. Partially, perhaps, because without single payer healthcare reforms don’t have huge public health benefits to offset the costs. This is one of the best things about single payer, that tons of reforms make financial sense. “Let’s spend $X hundred billion converting intersections to roundabouts and adding dividing barriers on freeways, the savings in healthcare costs will finance a big chunk of it”.

Some of the infrastructure changes aren’t even political but merely engrained in how cities and services are built Example: it’s not uncommon see restaurants in the US that you have to drive to. I don’t think Americans understand how weird a (non fast food) restaurant with a parking lot outside looks to people from elsewhere.
>Maybe making cameras is really hard?
Making cameras can't be that hard - every cell phone manufacturer puts at least something moderately decent into their offerings, and Canon, Nikon, etc make digital cameras across the quality spectrum

>Cameras are too much of a commodity and the market is really saturated?
For most people ... why would you want YADTCA when you have a "good-enough" camera in your smartphone? If you can't take "good pictures" with your smartphone, you won't take pictures any better with a stand-alone camera - the camera is already better than you are (for 99% of camera users)

>Full size lenses are hard?
Doubtful - if anything, they're easier than miniature lenses

>Not enough profit margins?
Meh - you can make the margin [almost] as large as you want ... so long as customers will pay your price

>Maybe it would cannibalize iPhone sales?
Again ... doubtful: if you want a separate camera, there are already fantastic options out there. And, back to a previous note, the camera in your smartphone is already better than you are

Apple basically quit doing anything to the iPod line because the iPhone, quite frankly, is a better device (even if you don't use it for a "phone") - storage, features, processing power, etc

If Apple were to venture into the standalone camera realm, it would have to be monumentally better than what they can already pack into an iPhone or iPad

Likewise I absolutely love Mathematica, and have a personal license I make good use of. I would never, ever use it in a business or consulting context though as the license fees are just way too high.
Why?

It's evident that conspiracy theorists just want to believe in the paranoid fantasies at any cost. They don't reject disproven theories; they don't admit to being wrong. They're not interested in the real, existing conspiracies that have been well-documented but are boring or require technical expertise to understand.

When these people lose the ability to think with nuance and show no regards towards reality, whether FB is the evil entity they think it is, or it's not, becomes completely irrelevant. And given that deplatforming has been shown to work because people look for outrage rather than reason and that outrage is fueled by the content put in front of readers, from a pragmatist's point of view the censoring doesn't seem to bad.
I am certainly guilty of this problem. I've pretty much hated MS Word for about 10 years now, more or less since I started being an engineer for a living. I hated its equation editor, I hated how the documents ended up looking, I hated the damn spacing between the letters, every time I used it I always felt like my documents ended up looking like ransom letters.

I discovered LaTeX + Pandoc, and it created documents that I thought looked much nicer, and I could use trusty Vim to work with it, so it felt perfect, and I subsequently made fun of people who insisted on using Word. After about two years of doing this, my dad eventually snapped back saying "Tom, we're all really sorry we didn't become software engineers, I guess we'll all quit our jobs and go back to college," which (rightly) made me feel like an asshole.

Obviously this stuff was easy to me, I live and breath in text editors and in plain text, but I had to realize that not everyone is trying to create publisher-worthy documents. They want a document that looks good enough to share with some coworkers, or print out for a school report, and for that MS Word will work fine for most use cases. They don't really want to sit there and learn the minutia of how to compile with `pdflatex` and dissect its weird error messages. They didn't really feel the need to finagle with begin and end tags, and that's totally fine, people should use the right tool for the right job.

After that I would still recommend LaTeX (particularly if the document required equations), but I became substantially less pushy about it.
It's worth bearing in mind that just over the last few days we've seen Conservative MP's respond to genuine questions and being held to account over a recent vote (against preventing the dumping of untreated sewage) respond that this is anonymous abuse, would lead to another murder like that very sad death of David Amess, to try and shut down any scrutiny.

Banning anonymous accounts is not to prevent harm, but it's being sold that way.
good luck mate! may the source code be with you.

Exactly. We don't know anything the author didn't tell us. For all we know, the author adamantly gave the wrong time complexity for quicksort. Or also possibly they were (intentionally or unintentionally) rude and condescending. Or there was a way candidate with a way better fit than our plucky author. Or, or, or....

Thankfully the author left the name of the company off. I'd hate for half of a secondhand account like this to cause candidates to avoid interviewing at a company!
Wait, breaking and entering into the capitol is “illegal parading”? I think insurrection is the wrong word too since it was more of a joke than a serious coup attempt, but when they actually broke into the building that was a big security issue.
I think it is just the opposite, and I'm not sure how much Dostoevsky thought about excultural readers. The setting is supposed to be familiar, or at least feel familiar, to many of the readers, to the point where certain names are redacted to give the feeling that the author is "protecting the innocent", or avoiding accusations of libel, because you are actually reading a true story and not something made out of whole cloth.

The first line of the original is (asterisks mine, indicating where Dostoyevski intentionally did not write the name of a street or bridge):

"В начале июля, в чрезвычайно жаркое время, под вечер, один молодой человек вышел из своей каморки, которую нанимал от жильцов в **С — **м переулке, на улицу и медленно, как бы в нерешимости, отправился к **К —** ну мосту."

In English:

"On an exceptionally hot evening early in July a young man came out of the garret in which he lodged in S. Place and walked slowly, as though in hesitation, towards K. bridge."
Sure, but watch how their bid will magically reduce itself now. There has been noises that they will increase the budget too.
I think people also underestimate the risk, and overestimate their ability to mitigate it with good driving skill. Also underestimating (or just not understanding) how much human physiology and physical layout of the vehicle determine what information we are able to process. (Those forward columns...)

I wish the project the best of luck, but my sincere belief is that is just vapourware. I used the "alpha" a bunch almost 10 years ago (it wasn't called an "alpha" then, and was written in Haxe, and was open source), and my interactions with the author left a sour taste in my mouth, especially how they treated contributors and the community. I'm not surprised to see it is now closed-source.
> but they came out with Dragon XL.

They have at least 10 slightly used Dragon 1 capsules that, if they can be refurbished, will save them a lot of money.

> or literally build the station out of Starships.

It's entirely possible to build a module like that using a slightly modified lunar version (no heat tiles, no wings), a docking adapter at the very top and enough solar panels and radiators in the trunk to be installed on the outside. Engines could be removed and added to other vehicles for in-orbit assembly (that may be a little bit more complicated - working with pressurized gloves is not great).

In fact, I imagine a whole series of different vehicles derived from the Starship design and riding to orbit on top of the Super Heavy - non-reusable ones, simple booster and orbital tug with light, disposable fairing (and a ridiculous cargo capacity during ascent), vehicles designed to be assembled into larger structures, with inflatable modules with a centrifuges, maybe an Earth-Mars cycler...

These are all rocket companies, I was talking about space station companies.

RocketLab, Firefly, Astra, Relativity Space are all small and have proven little. RocketLab has the most but its still a tiny rocket with a high failure rate so far. But yeah great that they exists. ABL Space belongs in that group.

I think the companies that actually want to do things in space are just as interesting and get less talked about.

>Especially when speeding and reckless driving is so damn common in America.

People aren't to to take these seriously until there's a more than laughable correlation between violating the law and behaving at or beyond the limits of what people consider reasonable. As it stands now pretty much everyone who's commute involves a limited access freeway outside of heavy traffic hours violates the letter of the law for one or both of these.
Potentially interesting how this relates to tropes. So often the evil villain is seen with a cat in their lap. Could this common stereotype have been driven by bacterial infections all along?
