I agree with the time lapse view and p4merge. Maybe one should hack together a time lapse tool for git? :thonk:
"That gives the team a sense that it’s a process that is evolving to meet their specific needs, rather than evolving to meet a dogma."

In my experience the most dogmatic organzations tend to just cargo cult their methodology.

There's no real deep understanding for "why" it works for whatever MAANG they're trying to mimic. There's just a hollow pursuit of vanity metrics and busy work.

There's value to be had with good work methods but it's almost always when people craft it to serve the unique value their organization creates rather than blindly doing whatever it is that Google does.
For anyone who hasn't caught on: This is a blatant money grab from someone who is "selling shovels" in the NFT gold rush.

Ask yourself: What value does an NFT even bring to this situation? Why must someone mint an NFT, with extremely high transaction fees, just to attend a time-limited course? Once you've taken the course, you can't even trade the value of the course to someone else. NFTs don't make any sense at all in this use case.

Nobody should be paying $6000 for a "Crypto College" course that is hosted by a Twitter personality who recently pivoted into crypto and NFTs.

Greg Isenberg is working hard at becoming a personality cult on Twitter. He pivoted to crypto/NFTs a few months ago and this "Crypto College" is his latest money grab. You can see related comments on his recent NFT idea for a preview of just how bad it is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29129070

Please don't take the bait. You won't learn anything from a couple hours of Greg Isenberg videos that is worth parting with up to $6500 of money.
The timing was a bit different though: first the country got crazy, then it passed a bunch of insane laws, then a few dozens of millions died, then they started WW2 (Molotov–Ribbentrop pact), and then a few more millions died.
Yes all OKRs are visible to everyone in the organization. Visibility builds mutual understanding, and also can be a great help for inter-team goals, team-of-teams projects, cross-functional areas, and roll-ups.
I lived in a room where the window had to be boarded up and insulated all through the winter. I would much rather be able to live in that room than nowhere at all.
Factually, the commit is the unit of change.

(Gitwise-factually, a commit is a snapshot, not a change, but a new snapshot represents a change relative to some other snapshot, like any one of its indicated parents.)

Your "methodology" is not rooted in facts.

It can be described as wanting every version control to be CVS.

Back in the day when those kinds of systems were widely used, the most common complaint from knowledgeable CM people was that there are no change sets: related sets of changes treated as a unit which contains the fine-grained changes, with individual descriptions, references to tickets and so on.

If we regard a feature branch as a change set, when you do a squashing merge in git, you're vandalizing the change set; the merge you're doing is only slightly better than "cvs -j from -j to" (merge the delta between from and to onto the working copy). How it's slightly better is that it records the extra parents, for tracking.

One of the main improvements in git over things like CVS and Subversion is that you can at least halfway simulate change sets, due to the relative ease of manipulating individual commits and the scripting done around it (like git rebase scripted around cherry-pick).

I installed it to be able to mount my Linux partition in wsl (note that this requires it to be on a separate disk btw).

It's been smooth sailing, apart from that they reorganized the UI a bit, mostly in nice ways, and upgrading didn't seem that much different from a normal windows update.
For some unknown reason, transmission/distribution pricing is often fixed, even though peak users are directly culpable for the costs of upgrades.
Continually surprised at the short term thinking that would denounce these projects as a waste of money.
Yes, everything at the scale of 300+ million people all seeking a comfortable modern living standard is outlandish. That's my point!
Exactly. If you read the cases, a fair number of them are gotcha type things. For example, ask yourself, if google tried to say they couldn't provide consent records (despite CLEAR language in GDPR) because they are only stored on devices - I have a feeling a MAJOR fine would be inbound.

But we get expert advice here that it is fine.

One of the claims I saw was that google hadn't said something about information being used to advertise - but when I read the related disclosure (they have all the versions) it seemed clear enough to me. I'm not saying ruling was wrong, but they in some cases hinge on issues just like this.

And we are just scratching the surface of things here.
Going through a shim is better. It allows you to modify the open-source shim to analyze and patch the closed source game. This is why Proton can release fixes so fast.

It also lets each party care about the natural thing for them: gamedevs care about windows and do a good job writing windows code; winedevs care about linux and do a good job writing linux code. Gamedevs don't care about linux so their native linux code is crap.
I've never read anywhere that Plato was a slave. He came from an aristocratic family and was one of the noble youths the Athenians were so concerned about the historical Socrates corrupting with his epistemic skepticism. He had family that were apart of the anti-democratic coup d'etat.

> No one needs hourly rail service between city pairs (as the article implicitly calls for) while the variability is -10 to +150 minutes.

While there's always a risk for delays (I've been stuck at Heathrow for 3 hours before thinking "If I'd have taken the train I'd be there by now"), you should be aiming for a network at 95%+ of services arriving within a few minutes of the arrival time. I understand that US passenger trains don't have priority, and thus this isn't workable.

On that assumption, given the distance and size of Boston/NY/Philly/Washington, I'd expect at least a 30 minute service, taking well under 4 hours (should really be under 3) from Boston to Washington (with stops in NY, and maybe Phillidelphia). It's only 400 miles, that's like Paris-Marseille, and far shorted than a 4 hour 560 mile Tokyo - Hiroshima trip)

For Discord, "server" is a relatable and convenient lie; based on IRC, of course -- I'm simultaneously impressed at how good Discord is, it kills pretty much everything else in its space, but also am hugely concerned about how centralized it is.

I want to say it's "disappointing" how they use "server," but it was probably a necessary fiction.
It only makes sense if you value it based on other factors. Some of these items are more valuable to me than the cost. The time factors are difficult depending on your circumstances.

1) No TSA (at least when I last used it)

2) You can show up with a bicycle. They will provide a box and you pack it yourself. Your bicycle will not be molested.

3) You can get a private compartment and drink your own liquor

4) You like trains

Early in my career I got a Monday morning meeting invite on a Friday afternoon just after I left the office. The meeting was called “The future of <business unit I was in>“

Entire weekend was a write off. I was so anxious. And yep. They shut down the unit (but I got to keep my job).

As a result this is forefront in my mind as a manager. One thing that works great is whenever I ask questions about something, anything, I also say “this is on my mind because…” and I find that both calms people and gets me more useful information. Context matters so much.
I think VR is far worse than AR. VR is pure imagination and can be more addictive than augmenting real life with additional information. At least AR has a foot in real world.

The Michigan building is a lot smaller and each bedroom has a private bathroom.

I'm not sure how I would respond if I were considering living in a windowless room for a bit less than a year. I think I might not like the idea, but I probably wouldn't make the lack of a window the only consideration.
That kind of town is vanishingly rare in the US. The only ones I can think of in California where a meaningful amount of the town is within walking distance of a train station are Davis and Chico, both university towns. Chico only has one train per day and it comes at 3 in the morning :-/
It's a choice funded by the automobile and airline lobbies.
Intelligence is a quality describing psychological and cognitive ability. It doesn't sit on some hidden one-dimensional quantitative scale as given in the half-assed pseudostatistic known as IQ. That you're asserting as fact an open ended extrapolation of IQ tests onto people living in entirely different circumstances centuries ago is pretty ironic.
Why would you pay extra and deal with the additional headache of being screened/having to enter your private data if you could just take the more convenient and largely anonymous train for under a $100? A train where you are not squeezed into the seat like a sardine?

I am personally also really uncomfortable with the notion that you have to pay an additional convenience fee just to have a mildly more pleasant travel experience. Coach class should not mean that you are cattle.
The article mentions the large amount of storage containers in the room, something (presumably) not present in other rooms in the building. There's also pieces of metal and fabric consistent with being part of a chariot. That evidence, combined with the size of the room and presence of three beds, seems to be consistent with the idea that this is a slave's room.
I would expect a huge portion of that Room & Board is actually the "Board" component, i.e. food, utilities, maintenance, etc. The portion that just goes to the capital costs of the building itself (and the $1.5 billion is just the total estimated capital cost of the project), is much smaller.
Even if this (hopefully) happens, and it happens fast, it might become similar (in EU) to what is now the Law regarding solar panels, see:

Actually, there were many clues listed, but they didn't directly connect them to "slaves" as such. The rough timber used in the bedding, the amphorae under the bed, a chamber pot, and lots of evidence suggesting the room was used for storage in addition to sleeping. These all point towards someone of much lower class (slaves of some kind) than the owner of the villa.
I think local hardware makes sense for LAN-only sites - e.g. a company wiki, a media center or a file storage with web interface.

For anything that is supposed to be visible on the internet, I'd always use a hosted server - if nothing else, because I really don't want to open an ingress into my personal home network, even if my ISP permitted that.

For use-cases were you have to handle certain incoming requests even though your setup is mostly LAN-only otherwise (webhooks, ACME, adding some dashboard you can access from your phone...), services like PageKite[1] sound promising.

Vax injuries/deaths are happening, and these lives are being swept under the rug - or dismissed as sacrifices to the cause. COVID will most definitely not be worse than the vaccine for everyone.
> So no forced vaccinations?

Absolutely not. If you don’t want to be around someone who isn’t vaccinated, set up an area on private property where they aren’t allowed. Your property, your rules.

> It's also wrong to force people to wear clothes in public?

Yes.

> Is it wrong to discourage someone from lying?

Sure. Fraud is a crime, lying isn’t.

> What if someone doesn't see the edge of a cliff and are about to step over it?

A bystander has no requirement to intervene.

> Would you pull them back from it?

Yes, without question. Just because something is the right thing to do doesn’t mean it should be the law, backed with threat of violence.

> Also no one would consider Tietgenkollegiet in any way typical Danish student housing.

I consider it is fair to mention Tietgenkollegiet since this is a discussion around dormitory/college hall architecture and quality.

Most of the dorms in Europe and the rest of the world are more similar to normal apartment buildings however unlike Charlie Munger proposal they are lower density (more space per resident in both common and personal areas) and have windows to the outside world.

I would expect _any_ proposal to improve on designs to be more livable not less; the increasing in density of dormitories, decreasing common spaces, and removal of windows is indicative of American Decline[1].

Even soviet khrushchyovka[2] from the 60s/70s _are better_ than the proposed dorms and it is something normally derided by American discourse.

Unrealistic for most games, there just aren't enough users.

Continuing on my last comment regarding this pile of plutocratic insanity[1], I ask Munger’s supporters to please cite references to support their implicit assertion that humans don’t need natural light in their living spaces. I really want to see that evidence.

The people in charge of the University of California system should be fired for wasting public employees’ time and taxpayers’ dollars on this weird-rich-guy-hobby idiocy. If you’re a California taxpayer, please remember that you’re going to end up double-paying for Munger’s delusion: you have to cover the tax revenue that’s lost in his “donation,” and you have to pay for the time that your public servants are spending on this mess. Oh yeah, and then you’ll pay for it over and over with the under-funded pensions collected on the time spent working on this thing...

In April of 1986, the operators of a nuclear power plant turned of the coolant flow to their reactor under full power, just to see what would happen.

Nothing happened. The reactor just sat there peacefully doing nothing, because it was a fast neutron reactor, the EBR-2.

> they're more dangerous and still experimental

They were neither in 1986. But sure, let's build more "grid storage", which isn't even experimental.

....And at the same time there isn't enough information to give a "proper" recommendation. i.e., how did you get your past customers? Who is your customer (persona)? Do you have a value proposition?

Since it sounds like you are pressed, ask your current client and your past clients for referrals. Be specific when asking (if he/she knows any friends, family, customers, etc). This will open up their mind to think of many possibilities.

There's a balance of forces which results in binding energy per nucleon depending on the number of nucleons, but overall it's something like 8 MeV per nucleon, so He-4 ends up with ~28.3 MeV of binding energy, while U-235 goes up to 1.8 GeV due to the sheer number of nucleons. Note the downwards slope of the binding energy per nucleon in the graph, this kinda indicates how stability goes down. There are however "magic numbers" and iirc there is a hypothesis that you get a sort of "island of stability" way into not-yet-existing super-heavy trans-uranic elements.

The Windows user base is too large, and the cost of maintaining two versions is too costly for most publishers to even think of making two versions. They instead learned how to write Windows games that can be easily run under Linux with no or minimum effort. Once a significant number of people will transition to Linux because they have enough apps/games that do what they want under Linux, and the gain in stability, privacy and cost is worth the migration, major games being written only for Linux may become a reality.
Although this would require many years, Microsoft has been well aware for a long time, and it's the main reason they already aimed at taking control of Linux before it was too late (WSL, VS Code, Edge for Linux, etc), and it's very likely we'll see a Microsoft branded free only as in beer Linux distribution soon. Unfortunately, I'm 100% sure they will succeed.
It's not that simple.

If I do a blocking banner that said, we track users on this site to pay for it with ads, click OK or leave - under GDPR there are lots of gotcha's that make this potentially insufficient. I think folks claiming GDPR is "simple" do not understand it - and how complicated it is.

We have this for age restricted sites already - if you are under 18 leave, if over 18 continue, content is NSFW.

Reddit does the same thing for adult subreddits, you get a popup, this content may be NSFW, if you are at work and will be fire, leave, if not click through if you want - you've been warned.

This model however may NOT be permitted under GDPR which has a TON more requirements on tracking consent, recordkeeping for consent, versioning of disclosures, tracking versioned disclosures to consent identifiers tied to other identifiers etc. If you violate any of this you are breaking the law, are committing crimes, and may need to pay $20M or a % of turnover whichever is GREATER!

I think the standard American corporate system of power is kinda ridiculous. But it is what it is, and whenever I'm a manager in that kind of system I try hard to remember that everything I say has that preface to it whether I like it or not. Everything. And everything people "beneath" me say to me will have an equivalent preface about what they think they can safely say.

I like the energy of wanting a distributed Maslow's hierarchy of needs tier 1 and 2 to have superior products to the centralized conception, but I think most people just need comfortable clothing to live in, and rugged clothing to work in.

The hope is critically important for the mental manifestation of any thought form. I think we could have a better method than Capitalism if we knew we could and put some effort into it. Religions are supposed to fill this role. Besides Capitalism, which is kinda a religion, but actually exists as a meta-layer on top of other, outdated religions, the last great religion was formed 1000+ years ago.

Those factors contribute to increase building costs.

If you post a video publicly on YouTube then you expect that anyone can stream it. One could quibble over whether you intended for anyone to be able to save the video since the site places some minor technical obstacles in the way (plus the ToS visitors are supposed to agree to), though it's hard to argue that you weren't at least aware that it could be done easily given well-known tools like youtube-dl.

If you upload your content to IPFS there are no obstacles to downloading, and no ToS. It's like hosting the file on your own site with no restrictions, except that the system is explicitly designed such that you can't take down anything that's been published. That makes it hard to complain about people saving the content; you've basically given everyone an implied license to access and pin the files. Republishing outside of IPFS might be a problem, copyright-wise, but since anyone can get the files from IPFS directly that isn't a major issue.

Although the article makes an explicit distinction between tribalism and group narcissism it's not clear to me what it is or why the latter deserves to be treated like a distinct phenomenon.

In particular given the example of Portuguese people who have antagonistic reactions to Germany in the EU. Seems to me the pretty straightforward explanation is material/political. There is conflict of interest within an institution for power, and if anything the psychological narcissism is at best an epiphenomenon. It doesn't seem irrational. Instead of trying to get people to 'unlearn' their behaviour it seems like the more straightforward way is to resolve the conflict by devolving power or something.

Same with the other example of US polarization. There is real material interests underpinning the groupings.
