> E.g., rebasing. I don’t completely understand what it is supposed to achieve.

I recognize that this is just one example of probably many things you dislike about git, and I will not be able to change your mind about it, but:

Rebasing is essentially the user saying "actually, I wanted to make these changes on top of this different base". This is useful if you perhaps started some work on the wrong branch, or just want to test your change on top of the most recent upstream code.

> Nothing makes sense.

I think there are two key realizations to understanding git:

1. It's a directed acyclic graph. That's a very nice data structure to think and reason about.

2. Everyone can have their own version of this graph, so committing a change and sharing it with others are two different operations (and fetching others' changes is yet another).

With those things in mind:

* git rebase copies an arm of the graph and grafts it onto a different starting node

* git cherry-pick copies an arbitrary node in the graph

* git push shares your local additions to the graph with others (usually through a server)

* git fetch updates your local graph (usually from a server)

* git merge joins two arms of the graph, so that one can enjoy the changes from both at the same time
Google is so good at ad domination they have free space in your head. Safari has a different development process which considers privacy, power consumption, and other user-centric ideas instead of just “how do we beat everyone else down in order to have better ad dominion over the internet”. You talk of standards, but in the time of WHATWG there really aren’t any, just ideas that vendors may or may not implement. If something is in Chrome but both Safari and Firefox have rejected it, do you really consider that a standard?
I use Micro as a better Nano. The syntax highlighting is better, the copy pasting is better, and most of all, the key bindings are the ones I'm used to. I can use Nano fine, but Micro is much more intuitive.
I used to work a place where sometimes, the kids didn't have money for a soda, and I could tell they were thirsty.. I usually sell them one for their soul.. I don't think I kept the box of "certificate of ownership" slips we made, but for a while, I owned at least 20 souls (and probably, the same soul twice... hmm) :) Sometimes I meet them and they're all grown up, but many of them still remember that I own their soul :D

Rats also attack and even kill human babies. We don't see it much anymore but a thousand years ago things were far more primative. Having a cat around, maybe literally sleeping beside the baby, could make a big difference
Is there a way to make money out of this crisis? Say buying corn future or even fertilizer future? I don’t understand derivatives and future market very well but simply buying fertilizer company stocks do not sound like a good idea since most investors look earning (EPS) and projected guidance which with increased price hike do not look promising.
A whole room to themselves?

Those are better conditions than what is typical of modern-day wage/debt slavery in places like Saudi Arabia and China.
> This is not even wrong.

I provided a link that explains exactly how it works. The reason it's not even wrong is that it's absolutely correct. I say that as somebody who has actually read some AMP docs and understands the value proposal of same origin serving for prerendering.

> This is a very big deal and a huge trust buster

It would be if true, but blindly trusting the prosecutor is a huge patsy move on the author's part. They have no clue what the mechanism is. I provided it.
Is there any advantage to doing this over just having a certificate of authenticity signed with the manufacturer's key?

Just looking at the documentation nothing jumps out, but reading the plugin reference it seems like it would be an easy thing to add.

You have access to read a file, you can get the current buffer, so inserting the text must be almost trivial.

It seems like an odd showstoppper to have, but if you're tempted to switch writing the plugin might help you get a feel for how good the editor is in other ways.
I wonder if his has moved any green ammonia plans forward. There's been a rash of announcements recently but they mostly refer to plants phasing in over the next few years. High and volatile gas prices is a really strong driver of moves to renewables generally as the predictability of renewable generation reduces the finance risk and so brings costs down.
> The image was inserted into the Wikipedia article by User:Vwanweb on 28 May 2018, incorrectly identified as originating from the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.

WTF, really? His photo was on there for more than 2 years (28 months). The damage is done. To somehow claim the lawsuit is super extra invalid because it came a couple months later does nothing but make me really hate lawyers.
> do they pay for having a Queen? If not than they get that for free, and if it costs nothing than why not?

AFAICT, they go from paying for the Queen's ceremonial representative, the Governor-General, to paying for a elected ceremonial president.
I know you’re joking, but I’m going to oppose that on prudential grounds. I don’t want a form of entertainment I enjoy mixed up with a grouping of companies people are incredibly critical of. Ruins the Google results too.

Well, low quality work. Yes. But, unlike you, I have only internet hearsay as sources.
Steam really has done an amazing job making Linux systems viable gaming platforms.

The manner in which they've done so shows a delightful understanding of the "unix philosophy" in so many ways, too.

Last month I was doing hardware changes on our home systems, my daughter's steam install and mine copied to new systems with a quick "tar" and no fuss; which was a very pleasant discovery.

They've rarely if ever (that I've seen) gone to extra effort to introduce warts the user has to deal with. Opening up the new deck hardware to show us how to do so, etc... Good eggs there.

I tried a bunch of that too. I even had jumped out of an airplane, and I took flying lessons and still panic attack every time I flew. Though flying lessons did help, skydiving was awesome but terrifying and didn’t help at all.

What finally helped me, was Allen Carr easy way to enjoy flying and the happiness trap. Not sure which book did it but I’m flying now with what I would call a normal level of anxiety most of the time.

Understood, and in other words:

hermetic == sandbox which only contains declared deps

I assume bazel implements this via containers?

Does that include compilers and OS?

Also, IMO, this only provides a false sense of safety unless you archive absolutely everything that's inside the sandbox.

>Raise the price (cost per conversion) and people will decrease the amount they buy.

This is just a form of supply/demand curve.

The issue here is Google controls most of the market, giving them far more power to optimize the supply curve to maximize Googles profit leaving the consumer no other competitor to fall back on to lower prices (FB maybe?, more likely to collude and keep prices high).

Google cannot act like ads are 'any other product' where there are healthy, competitive markets.

Charlie Munger seems like an insufferable asshole. I find it creepy a 97 year old wants to control the lives of 4,500 22-24 year old people, every year, for many years into the future basically for sport.
Yes, that is what you want. But you know there are other people in the world? Who want different things? Some of which may be the opposite of what you want? And that therefore, in the interest of civilization, we find consensus between what everyone wants?
> At a conceptual level, so much of the more esoteric parts of git makes little to no sense.

I see git as a reluctant marriage between two disparate halves: the CLI and the ODS (on-disk structure). There might be technical reasons (and baggage) behind why the ODS is the way it is, but I don't see why the CLI is the way it is.

Outside of the time I spent, some years back, writing code to verify the porting of some mercurial repositories to git, I have no desire to look at the internals of git. Last year, I wrote a tool to query my backups stored by a software that adopted some of its ideas from git,[1] and it was not a pleasant experience. Coincidentally, that software too is just as bad at user interfaces as git is.

And as I said, we have hundreds of 100MWh+ battery plants, and hundreds of GWh of pumped hydro. The idea that they haven't been deployed at scale is just wrong.
The Discovery case is still ongoing (and they're not protected by Section 230). What you can do is try to help raise awareness. It is a scandal to my mind that the only media report about this case is this article in a local paper published last year: https://tallahassee.com/story/news/2020/08/28/man-confused-r...
The best experience I ever had with js was on an api that didn't use anything special.

No typescript. No import syntax. Nothing extra.

It was magical. The entire build stage was npm install && node app.js

Admittedly, once or twice a quarter, we'd update the dependencies and we'd spend a few hours fighting it, but the rest of the time it just worked.

> energy in fission comes from gravitational collapse

Do you have a source for gravity being in any way involved with fission’s energy release? I thought, and the article says, it’s from “the energy of the electromagnetic force when positively charged parts of the nucleus fly away from one another.” (EDIT: Ah, nvm.)
Tangent: I noticed more and more projects advertising a single executable as a way of distributing their apps. I don't want to judge, it's just another way of doing it, but I'm curious: is this a trend and what led to it? I feel like I missed something.
It wasn't fun. Rent was $800 per month on an income of $1800 per month for a 2 bedroom university apartment. I was considered lucky to get such a sweet deal, since off campus housing was more money with greater commuting requirements, but graduate students all make the same amount.
Completely agree with this. Some of the locked topics are the worst too. They end up locked because people are fighting to include more information that’s not being allowed. It’s a huge problem.
They aren’t removing the screens - they’re removing the touch functionality of the screen.

Screens are vital for safety - how do you back-up safely without a screen to show you what’s behind you?

Aeroplane pilots use an absolute ton of screens, front and centre.
I guess that it might work in the short term but being detrimental in the long run:

Me, for example, i hate receiving this kind of email showing clearly that your behavior is spied by the seller.

So, the thing is that after one of them the seller lose your trust and you will probably not browse or even go to the checkout step anymore with them. Except if you are really sure to buy!
> people who say the 30 years thing say it generally implying that the failure has been due to humans underestimating the difficulty. when in reality, this is not a justified position

It was very much a justified position. Humans did underestimate the difficulty. Specifically, codes for predicting behaviors of plasmas routinely gave overly optimistic estimates for what would be required to produce net power, leading to numerous experiments that produced orders of magnitude worse results than predicted. Basically every time a more powerful fusion experiment was built, new instabilities that we were previously unaware of (and thus the simulation codes couldn't possibly account for) were discovered. Fusion funding was initially abundant but dried up after repeated failure.
> curl | bash

I hate this. I know everyone's doing it, but it's just awful. Read the script, then run it.
Personally I spend a lot of time staring at code thinking “wtf was this person thinking when they did this…I know there was a reason but..what was it” (doubly so if I’m the one who wrote it). So I think you’re right, unless there’s a key binding to read minds too :)
This sounds like solid evidence that the Devil is scrupulously fair! He could have just said that his performance was better; his demon backup band would surely have taken his side. I suspect he enjoys the challenge of outdoing mortals, and thus allows them a sporting chance of escape. Note the impressive loophole in this contract! [0]

With all due respect, the article is pretty clear here:

> …within the room, where three wooden beds have been found…

But additionally, “slave” here could describe a wide range of socioeconomic statuses. It does not necessarily mean that one was the poorest of the poor, the way a modern slave or pseudo-slave would be. Assuming that this represented the poorest housing conditions available may not be accurate.
You didn’t even read what you quoted!

The Haber Process for making nitrogen fertilizer uses HYDROGEN as the feedstock for making ammonia, NOT methane! Natural gas steam reforming is just the cheapest source of hydrogen (usually), but before about 1950, we used electricity (usually from cheap renewables like hydro) to make hydrogen for ammonia. Easy peasy with wind and solar!
Yep. There’s clearly a reward structure being created to silence contrary information.

There’s an iOS app called Impaktor that gives similar results with the phone’s mic instead of a contact mic. So not as nuanced, but great for $5. (You will need headphones.)

Firefox is also really worth checking out again.
The only exception is if you offer a kind of incentive like a discount to your user to push him to finish his order.

But, in that case, the consumer learn very fast the trick and will start to pause orders just because he is expecting to get a discount like that.

Admittedly, being fired when on an h1b visa is stupendously stressful because you need to get a new job immediately or be booted from the country. Opening a civil case won't achieve any rapid goal of getting employment. We'll see whether this strategy helps or hurts. There are enough people out there who really don't like Google that I would not be surprised if this sort of strategy allows for rapid connection to these people even if it sours most companies on this person.
When deciding on a name for my 2nd child, I wanted them to go together. I looked up which years were the most popular for my oldest, and looked at lists of names that were popular in that timeframe.

I think you could also use years to suggest names that neither parent has on their list. Based on names that the parents have liked, find out which decade was most popular. (Geometric Mean would probably be most useful to combine scores between parents).

Within 12 days of the movie Jane Fonda made about nuclear power, the biggest accident in the USA occurred. Within 10 years, we had Chernobyl.

Blaming the lack of nuclear power on a celebrity for her activism and not the fact that decision makers saw the results of real catastrophic failure seems wrong. Sure, Jane Fonda didn’t help nuclear energy. But we should have started by never letting any of the major nuclear failures happen. If we can’t do that, we should work on solving that problem and not blaming critics.
The methane is reformed into hydrogen and CO2. We could use solar and wind to power electrolysers that just produce hydrogen instead.
Fusion of tritium and deuterium
Input:
- 1 deuterium atom: 1 proton and 1 neutron
- 1 tritium atom: 1 proton and 2 neutrons
Output:
- 1 helium atom: 2 protons and 2 neutrons
Overall: 5 particles become 4, 20% become free to hit other atoms or turn into energy.

Decay of uranium-235 into barium and krypton
Input:
- 1 atom of uranium: 235 particles
Output:
- 1 atom of barium: 144 particles
- 1 atom of krypton: 89 particles
Overall: 235 particles become 233, less than 1% become free to hit other atoms or turn into energy.

Fission is much more similar to radioactive decay: big atoms turn into smaller atoms releasing a few free particles. Fusion releases basically the same amount of particles with much smaller atoms.

Of course, this is an extreme simplification of the process. Energy required to start each reaction is ignored, but the idea is mostly correct, I think.

EDIT: fixed tritium number of protons and neutrons and grammar.
> But Munger didn’t return the favor. He said McFadden “reacted with his gut like an idiot. He didn’t look at the building intelligently.” In particular, he said, McFadden didn’t examine the models, which, he said, the chancellor would have happily shown him. “Everybody who sees the models goes ape-shit for them,” Munger said.

Incredible. This is the language of someone who has been surrounded by yes-men for so long that they’ve completely lost touch with how to be persuasive.

He can’t understand how anyone would disagree with his windowless dorm proposal because everyone in his near orbit has showered the idea with praise.
Seems like a trend to me, enabled in part by tool chains like Go’s which make it easy. I like them because using/deploying is simple: put the file somewhere and run it. No apt get runtime library config etc etc to worry about.
Nevermind the touchscreen controls, that wheel is something else. I can't believe it's even legal.

if I had to guess: things like Docker, K8s, and Lambda. All of them make installing sprawling apps with tons of dependencies really troublesome at best. A single executable with almost no dependencies really simplifies that problem.
It is theorised to have been a family which is not bad, but the room is only 16sqm for 3, and apparently doubled up as storage of sorts.

They could also have had more room than average due to their job (taking care of horses and chariots) so they got to use one of the stables’s rooms.

Looking at the floor plan at the end of the article, there are two other rooms of similar dimensions (b and d), and the horses (f) and chariot seem to have been granted a lot more space.

It's easier to target marketing against a few 'smoke stacks' than ten millions tail pipes. It's easier for people to get people to sign petitions against an 'industrial site' that is many kilometres away that most people will never see, compared to having people trash their own personal possession (their car).

India does this, but the President’s veto is both toothless (they can only refuse to sign a legislation twice) and rarely used (last two presidents haven’t used it).

However the president is a nomination confirmed by the parliament, so it’s not exactly the same thing. The Vice-President gets a vote split but that is also rarely used (once a decade maybe).

In my perspective, it adds additional bureaucracy, overhead, and administrative expenses for very little gain.
This is the right answer (at least in our case).

I used to be a freelancer and now I run a 180 person development group. Our path was similar to this. In order to become the rainmaker you need to understand the problems the customers are trying to solve and you need to meet a lot of them (think 100x the number you might want to serve). You need to build meaningful connections with each of them. This is a grind so you must learn to enjoy it otherwise you won’t have the stamina.

Additionally you need to be excellent at delivering software.
Absolutely agree that it's not a user-friendly text editor. It _does_ increase productivity when you're proficient. TBH being proficient took me a lot of time, mostly fueled by wanting to be cool in my first job (it failed), all in all I'm not entirely convinced it's a good investment.

But being able to edit using Vim at all is very very useful to edit files on servers, which happens very often in various situations.

It's $300 per person per year.

Even factoring that I will have to cover for several other people who can't pay, all I say is, well we have an astronomical amount of infrastructure and it's been neglected for decades, and, as long as I get something for it.

I don't care that it's 100bn, that was going to be collected and spent on something regardless. I care far more about what it's spent on.

Maybe it will add incentive down the road to close the loopholes on the Bezos's of the world a little.
You have to be more specific and explain why the middle class slaves don’t benefit from power lines, airports, fixed water pipes, flood protections etc.

this feels like the natural evolution if container based deployment. people have gotten focused on a “single thing that works everywhere” to the point that we are back to having binaries include all dependencies instead of making it clear what the host system needs.
