I don’t think it’s limited to organizational learning.

Goals and planning are vital as well. In the article, it's lumped into mentoring and coaching. Still, as a primarily self-taught learner/builder of teaching tools, this is often the most challenging part of effective learning and the most valuable part of mentoring/coaching. Knowing or finding a way to learn what to spend time on or not arguably makes a more significant difference than all the other pieces together. Because if you're learning the wrong things, or sometimes just in the wrong order, you'll never achieve the results you desire.

This is exactly what makes research difficult. There is no way to know what is the next best step.
You can't squeeze more money than the market is willing to pay. If private equity tries to corner the housing market, more people would decide to live with their roommates and family while developers will happily sell them overpriced homes and they pay property taxes.
The plan was to buy homes, renovate them and flip them. Renovations are taking longer and are more expensive than planned.
I initially had some misunderstandings based on the lay-explanations of the license. I think I finally have a correct understanding now.

The relevant portion of AGPL is section 13. "if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source".

Notice that the right to receive the source code belongs to the user. Not to the upstream author. So if you do run a private test, then only the people in your test have that right. Since this was not intended to be public, you could argue that the public does not have a right to the source.

Now if the program did not offer the source to the legitimate users that is indeed a violation, but the way to cure it is to offer the legitimate users the source.
Yes, I see that now. We thought that by posting text we'd spark a conversation around the idea.
We'll have that under consideration next time.

In all my years of working, this is probably the most important thing you can learn. Except for marginal cases, it's not about how good you are at your job. You just have to be liked while being sufficiently good.

It's also why the perennial "hiring is broken" posts and threads miss the point completely: really they're just trying to find someone they like. It's what "culture fit" really means. And people like people like themselves. This is part of what can lead to unlawful discrimination.

Trustworthiness is an interesting one as it seems to be hard to define but some people just have it and some don't. This has been studied and can have a profound effect on, say, criminal sentencing [2].

There was a proposal, disagreement, and a vote, which ruled in keeping the "which" command where it is for at least the next major version. "which" is in no danger of disappearing at the moment.

The discussion went approximately:

"`which` is nonstandard and doesn't always work the same. Maybe we should remove it and have everybody use `command -v` instead, which is standard. Also, in testing, I've added a deprecation notice to prepare for it."

"Let's have a vote to see. A lot of people use `which`, and that deprecation notice breaks some builds.

...

Vote says no. Remove the deprecation notice and leave `which` where it is for the next release"

Later, on Hacker News: "Debian might be removing "which"! Why are they doing this?"

Most of the commenters, it seems, never actually read the entire story.

Non-4/4 time signatures and time signature changes

...

Just curious from a software design perspective why this is the case. I would, naively, assume you build up software primitives that wouldn't assume a time signature, making it trivial to support whatever segmentation of time. Why not just have a pulse and divide it however is needed?

Also I see nothing about OSC support, is that going to happen? Its definitely more something used for more experimental-minded musicians I guess, but it has huge support and makes things like interfacing with cv pretty simple, along with a million other things that are otherwise so fussy with midi.

Do love first class support for non 12-TET!

Overall a huge, exciting effort, can't imagine how hard this is.

I, Robot is significantly harder to adapt than Foundation. The former is like a book of little logic mysteries. The film turned the setting concept into one big murder mystery to appeal to modern audiences. It was a drastic tonal change, but preserves some of the concepts of Asimov, even including the Zeroth Law at the end.
GoT isn't like Foundation at all, though. Game of Thrones had plenty of action and tense character moments that all happen within a relatively short period of time (within the character's lifetimes/generations). Foundation is about decades of time so adapting it directly like they could with GoT isn't really possible, imo.

Also, we don't know yet but, for all we know, Hardin might learn what the meaning of that saying is by making the very mistake it's cautioning against. After all, in the show, the line was given to her father who then follows through on his plotline (trying to be vague, here). So maybe it's not a betrayal of the source material as much as it is going a bit further back to establish why Hardin keeps that saying. Considering Goyer was involved with Man of Steel and felt like it was pivotal to establish Superman's "no-kill" rule as a result of being forced to kill, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a similar beat of character growth here.
It is not very early. I specifically gave comparisons for things that launched at the same time.

And merchant adoption actually declined heavily for Bitcoin. It had a period where many online merchants and some offline merchants tried it out. Everybody gave up on that because it is not a good currency. That's when prominent advocates pivoted to "store of value" (which it is also bad at). For example: https://avc.com/2017/08/store-of-value-vs-payment-system/

The whole "but look at the fuuuuuuuuuuture" routine was plausible early on. But at this point there's nothing but wishful thinking to suggest that there will be a radical change. Whatever it is, Bitcoin is what it is.
The implication here is friendly but incompetent trumps competent but unfriendly.

This isn't a surprise. A team is stronger than an individual, and competence has a productivity ceiling where you have to start playing well with others.

"Spiders invert this relationship -- they are 2D specialists that slice a 3D space with a trap, capturing 3D specialists without expending energy to navigate their prey's space."

I think that's a great way to put it, although "spiders" really should say "orb weaving spiders".

Jumping spiders don't build a web, they are active hunters in the 3D space with the ability to plan several steps ahead. Although they can't fly, they definitely hunt in 3D and don't really conserve energy.

Huntsman spiders are also active hunters, but mostly in 2D and waiting from an ambush position. They don't build a web. Neither do crab spiders, but I'd agree that these two families of spiders are trap-based and largely passive, even if the trap is not a web.

Labyrinth spiders (funnel web spiders) are a fun anomaly due to the complexity of their trap, which is 3D, but arguably it's a still a passive way to hunt.

My favorite would be the net-casting spider, which builds a tiny web that it holds, and then casts on its prey. The timing and coordination of that is mind blowing:

The first link in the linked article mentions Linus saying (in 2019) that performance needs to be better than simply running with SMT disabled.

There is no mention of performance though. How is it? Presumably it is better!! And if so, this sounds like a concept that the OpenBSD community would be interested in since they prefer SMT disabled for security reasons.
Docker performs pretty poorly on macOS.
Reasons why I left Debian:

1. go ahead and pull that Ethernet cable, your precious networked daemon will restart thus having to lose whatever cached or learned data. This is a major problem for designer of custom daemons.

2. Try and interface with Juniper DHCP servers at major ISP using systemd-networking and /etc/systemd/network settings. You’ll be forced to revert back to ISC DHCP server and/or NetworkManager.

3. Bootup and actually making your IP-address-senstitive daemon croak because your custom Ethernet NIC requires ‘ip addr/link up’ in /etc/rc.local

4. Bootup and get to network-online state only to find out that your netdev really hasn't gotten a dynamic IP address yet, your networked daemon that requires those IP address to be defined on the netdev will croak if not handled properly.

5. You cannot firewall against PID 1.

For UNIX box that are true server or not cloistered behind an ISP-provided gateway/router, that was more than enough to ditch systemd and go Devuan distro.

I don't know what to say here except that I lived through that too, and it's still hard to accept.

Its not known yet, and is only an idea.

The only thing we do know is that there is a shared experience that seems to make learning new concepts difficult as we get older. We also have plenty of examples of people thriving when placed amongst people that prioritize learning those concepts and have the same lack of encumbrances as those other people. This points to willingness and lifestyle being the primary limiting factors over mental ability.

The plasticity concept has only been extrapolated to learning ability but is as well studied as phrenology. It still needs studies to both prove and disprove it in relation to learning ability. People have shared experiences about supernatural deities, the similarity being that the prevalence of an experience doesnt provide answers about the experience.
This is a little confusing, because there are now two types of Excel. One is the old desktop version that everybody is used to. That one has had support for arrays and dictionaries and all sorts of other data structures for decades as part of VBA[0]. But with Office 365, Excel now exists as a web-based tool too, much like google docs or similar. That version doesn't allow VBA, and there's a separate JS-based system for running code on the data in those files.

Not all spiders are 2d specialists who hunt with webs. Jumping spiders display extraordinary spatial reasoning in conjunction with excellent vision, which they use to stalk prey. Jumping spiders have been known to sit motionless for up to half an hour, scanning the landscape to plan the best route to something they can see (the FOV of their hi-res front-facing eyes is quite narrow, so this scanning is necessary to gather the required information).
rsync is a different program than ssh, installed as a different package, so it does not matter what license it has. In most cases, ssh will run a bash at the remote end, which also has the GPL license, so it should be obvious that it is irrelevant what license have the programs launched by ssh.

When you run rsync over ssh, the local rsync starts the local ssh client, which connects to the ssh server, which runs the remote rsync, while the data is piped through the ssh connection.

rsync is available for most operating systems, but it is not usually installed by default. OpenBSD might be the only exception without a rsync package, but it has openrsync. I assume that it uses the same protocol so rsync to/from OpenBSD should work as well as to/from Linux, Windows, MacOS or any *BSD.

If you have the right to transfer files to a computer then normally it is very simple to install rsync, only for your own user if do not have admin rights.

In most cases, you can initially just copy the rsync executable file to the target computer using scp, and then do any other file transfers with rsync over ssh.

After I have abandoned both scp and sftp many years ago, I no longer had any problems with the performance or data integrity of file transfers over ssh.
"Unfilmable" just means impossible to translate into a sequence of scenes, with characters and a coherent story. For example, long internal monologues about the design of space ships, etc.

> I'm not sure why you are lumping those two modes of transport together.

I think you misunderstand - "commercial flight" is referring to flying on one of the large carriers instead of privately. Both of those modes of transportation move large groups of people, together. Many people, one trip. Rail is available in Europe, but not in the US.

> Perhaps the reason it is not high on people's lists of things to fix, though, is that "the aviation industry only contributes around 2% of global CO2 emissions, with private air travel representing an even smaller fraction."

They are saying this is an "emergency" though. Is it a good idea to fly any plane during a climate emergency that will purportedly starve all of us? Why aren't these people concerned about starving themselves? This is an emergency and they aren't taking their own precautions seriously.
I understand that HN leans toward research as the final word on everything, but sometimes anecdotal evidence is pretty accurate. It's like saying "but the poll researches are saying candidate X is going to win". Then a seasoned advisor actually lands on the ground and counts the yard signs and talks to people, and the picture becomes much less clear.

Not to mention that the "research paper" industry is often very manipulated, inaccurate, and sometimes downright fraudulent. Ironically, also discussed on HN once a blue moon.

What I am saying is, do site the "research papers", but don't use that to shut down an argument. It's a clue, not a fact.
I tried Nix while ago when NixOS made news in HN. You are right, it is difficult to set it up. Eventually I give up on it and tried to remove Nix from my macOS, let say it is difficult to remove Nix as well. I tried their command line to remove Nix and it didn't remove it even with sudo. Nix been sitting on my macOS for a month since it couldn't remove it completely. I realized I just have to go to Disk Utility to dismount/remove the Nix VHD and then ran the command line again which finally got it removed from my OS.

Most regular users think you search for something on Google, it is between them and Google. This "feature" started sending one's incomplete queries to Mozilla as well. Every time user presses a key, search suggestions update, meaning every key user presses is sent to Mozilla before the search is even executed on Google.

Upon upgrade, users where not asked "We would like to see every key you press while typing anything in the search bar. Do you give us permission?"
