All very true, I'm not suggesting a monorepo for the whole org (that's dumb) but per project.

If you have libraries shared across different applications, treat those libraries as fully independent products. No different from something you'd download from NPM.

Anything else is too tightly integrated, and if it is tightly integrated, you want a monorepo, not a repo with submodules.

edit: At least for C++ I typically use submodules to store libraries from their own git repos, but these are very carefully versioned. If there's a good package management solution for the language, this is typically not necessary.
> > South Africa's biggest roadblock to prosperity is not the west

> The west excludes us from global economic activity all the goddamned time.

And yet you fail to cite one example of this. I don't see how this is true, but by all means, maybe try again and cite an actual example. And just for clarity, an example of restricting travel in a god damned pandemic is not an example of "systemic economic exclusion", it may be an ill conceived policy choice, but the west is also not responsible for your pathetically low vaccination rate which likely helped the new variant come into existence.

Definitely the voters who vote for the politicians who license and allow this have nothing to do with this, right?

Nope, not worth noting.

Bird mortality from cats is 10,000 times windmills. 10,000 times. It's really hard to state just how much bigger that is.

An even bigger cause of decline is birds that are never born due to habitat loss and pesticide use that fundamentally disrupts their food chain because no insects = no birds.

Windmill bird mortality is some extreme, irrelevant outlier that does not matter at all. It's a manufactured issue that follows a formula discussed by Albert Hirschman in his 1991, "The rhetoric of reaction". Specifically it uses the framework of the perversity thesis:
“any purposive action to improve some feature of the political, social, or economic order only serves to exacerbate the condition one wishes to remedy.”

This is used as a scripted template to smuggle agendas through "think tanks" (which is a polite term for "propaganda factories") and then onto some theatrical "they aren't telling you this on mainstream media" sphere where they are peddled as "talking points" and "facts".

In this case, as in most, they load it up with common logical and rhetorical fallacies. The go-to here is to represent the extreme statistically insignificant outlier as if it's the normal and then advocate for policy focusing around the outlier.

It's not about the outlier, in this case birds. Instead, it's about whoever paid the think-tanks to use the classic Hirschman tools and push the narrative through the channels. Most of the think tanks are funded by oil and gas so ...

If we focus on the other 99.99% of the deaths and the other 100% of the non-death declines then the problems will actually be addressed instead of say, firing up coal fire power plants, drilling for oil, decommissioning wind farms and having it have zero effect on the downward trend.

It might be hard to figure out why publicly traded oil and gas companies would feel fiscally obligated to invest in campaigns to increase their market share, but I'm sure we can connect the dots.

Unless you honestly think they are abandoning their fiduciary duty, are squandering company money because they're all a bunch of rabid birders, and just happened to read the numbers wrong. I mean sure, ok.
When all signs on Omicron so far are that it is mild, why would deaths and ICUs explode?

And you say extended lockdowns for the unvaxed have failed because they 'cheated' without mention that being vaccinated does not a) stop you getting covid or b) prevent you spreading it.

Most of your points here are rote repetition of the media talking points that the article author spoke about.

And the bodily autonomy point about unvaxed affecting those around. Aren't they vaxed, therefore not concerned? Or do you refer to some apparently extremely common type of person who is not only immuno compromised (they've been getting vaxed too) but unable to be vaxed and with huge comorbidities that likes hanging around sick people?
China isnt doing the US any favors, lets not pretend any nation state of that size on either side has alturistic intentions.

But I am wondering why you are framing it like its no bid deal. How much does China share with the US?

>Removing Trump from Twitter and other platforms surely spared us a year’s worth of lies and incitements to violence; it was and remains the right thing to do. But in a larger sense, it’s clear that deplatforming Trump did little to improve the underlying political situation in this country. It seems that situation is getting worse all the time.

The former was all deplatforming Trump was intended to accomplish. It looked for all the world like his bullshit was going to start a civil war or at the very least lead to mass violence and chaos around the election and platforms had enough and kicked him off.

It was never intended to improve the underlying political situation. Believing that it could is giving in to the right's fear-driven propaganda about the power of social media platforms to control speech and the political narrative at a national or supranational scale.

While as far as I know, the evidence is that deplatforming can be effective in aggregate, the premise that former President and billionaire celebrity Donald Trump could be effectively unpersoned by losing his social media accounts was always ridiculous.
As of January 2021, the Wind Turbine Database listed 67,000 wind turbines in the US. If we take "dozens" as meaning ~60, that's about 4 million birds+bats/year, which is small compared to the other numbers being tossed around here.
> I did a quick trawl through the patents filed by SiTimes, and I’m guessing the MEMS oscillator chip contains at least two separate oscillators. These oscillators are intentionally different, so that their frequency drift with temperature also have different, but predictable, curves. They can use the relative difference of the frequencies to very precisely measure the absolute temperature of the pair of oscillators by comparing the instantaneous difference between the two frequencies. In other words, they took the exact problem that plagues silicon designs, and turned it into a feature: they built a very precise temperature sensor out of two silicon oscillators.

I finally got around to reading the excellent Logitude by Dava Sobel (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4806.Longitude) and to a lay-person this sounds like a similar principle that Harrison applied to design the bimetallic strip used to preserve the accuracy of his clocks in the face of temperature changes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetallic_strip). Very cool.
I'm only 12 years in the industry and that is young compared to some others here but I'll give my perspective.

I would honestly say that all developers outside of companies who activity are going to run out of cash in 6 months have the time and are given the choice.

When management says, we don't have the time the reality is the proposed time given goes beyond a reasonable allocation of time, the max capacity given and or managers bullshit radar amount.

Great developers also are able to factor these tasks into their own ticket time to make the time for the issue.

I've been in countless meetings where individuals will complain about the state of X, how this is a hack, or we should really fix that.

Plenty of times I've seen, "You've got two days of dedicated time to identify, solve and implement."

This is met with various results, individuals taking the time, don't really do any work and consider it free time.

They spend two days just trying to understand even how all the components fit together. Even if you revisit in a month with another two days they'll spend the same two days relearning the same information because they did not retain or make notes to be able to pickup where they left off.

On a rare occasion someone will come in and fix it or move the needle further for the next person. All of these issues tend to funnel into these types of developers and from my sampling they're ~1 per 100 developers at a company.
One of the major factors that has made it difficult for cryptocurrencies etc. to get past toys, speculation, and outright scams (as many on HN are so quick to point out) has been the barriers erected by institutions and governments to serious experiments, not least because allowing them to happen involves accepting less control.

So it’s incredibly exciting to see things like this start to take shape. I hope they’re able to deliver something meaningful.

That's the OP's original point: people who spend their entire lives "fighting corruption" get blinded by their righteousness and zealotry and in effect become corrupt themselves.
Sure, yes...

Diogenes (the character) was a famous, upper class dude. Lifelong poverty wasn't a trap he couldn't escape.

Also I didn't mean to be too harsh. The "can't wait to tell you how little I care" trope is one we can't escape even in modern dissident youth culture. Hippies, punk, goth, emo... every generation reinvents it and it's artistically/culturally rich ground.

That said, the Diogenes character definitely does seem like he enjoyed being the centre of attention. It's like Marilyn Manson going on daytime talk shows in the 90s to tell normies that he doesn't care what they think. There's obviously a falsity in there, somewhere. It got my attention though, as a teen, and I still listen to th albums.

The point of the barrel is to be seen in a barrel, at the very least to demonstrate the philosophical reasoning for the barrel.

There are plenty of people who genuinely don't care what the people of Corinth think, say or do. The don't choose to spend their time in the public square debating.
I believe the first generations of driverless cars have to be overly cautious. If it can't be 100% sure that it's model corresponds to reality, and that nothing is going to jump out of the bush, then it has to stop. A safe car is going to stop or slow down at least once per trip, for the forseeable future.

I think the car should also talk about what it thinks, to get people to understand the limitations of the technology.

"There could be a child between those parking cars, slowing down"

"I cannot see the road markings, emergency stop"

"Road signs don't match my data, slowing down"

"Train mode activated, following virtual track"

Then, and only then, you can do the second step. Automated cars have the potential to be much safer than cars with human drivers. You can accept some accidents, in order to prevent many more. But you can only do that if the public and lawmakers have confidence in the technology. Right now it is way too much of a black box with wierd failure modes.

Digi-Key and Mouser already do this for many many parts. Both offer to sell you a short bit of tape-held parts re-reeled and ready for insertion into a pick and place machine. Granted that's just for electronics and it sounds like you want it for more general things.

Part of the problem for doing it with other things is likely regulations and labeling. Back near the start of COVID I heard stories about how there was lots of cheese in bulk packs which couldn't easily be repurposed into consumer-friendly sized units (most normal consumers don't want to buy in units of cubic feet of cheese in the USA). Part of the reason it couldn't easily be repurposed was simply that no one had ever created a consumer-sized package label for it. So not only did the cheese need to be handled again, packaged again, but it also had to be relabeled and approved by what ever agencies approve or rate cheeses.

Doesn't AWS let you set a monthly limit? I only see a way to set spending alerts, not a hard "do not spend more than X" limit.

There's no way on earth I would use AWS on my personal card unless I could set a limit.
No it's not because I'm wrong, because you can argue with or debate with people who are wrong (or you believe are wrong) without becoming irrational and angry.

And I'm not making any predictions, just observations. This might come down to semantics on what exactly you suppose sustainable to mean or whether or not it is desirable, but causing an ongoing mass extinction event does not meet my definition of sustainable.

I'm talking about environmental sustainability to be clear (hopefully it was from the context but I may not have been explicit enough). I don't doubt we could physically feed billions more people at least as long as we have cheap energy and fertilizers from fossil fuels if we accepted ever increasing environmental destruction.
I get that some alerts should be sent, that AWS should scan for common scams, react faster to support tickets etc. But how does one get enough access to someone's AWS account to create a lambda that mines crypto? Something has an access to your credit card and bills you monthly, yet you do not have 2FA? I would understand if this was some dependency chain attack, but this is just a new lambda with an .sh script. Also what AWS income has to do to with his issue?

A lot of your argument relies on the assertion that the West took resources from Africa.

And yes, while that is true to some extent, it is not the whole story.

> America's wealth was greatly enhanced by the railways built by the slaves they stole.

IIRC (and wikipedia agrees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade) the slaves were bought by the west. The theft was done by native Africans for the most part.

Africans enslaved other Africans and then sold them.

Should the west have refused to buy those slaves from Africans? Certainly, but it was not the West that, for the most part, enslaved and then sold the African slaves.

> And hey, look at that, Shell is busy sonar blasting our coastline for fucking oil. Great. You think we're gonna see any of that money? Not a chance. Nevermind the destruction they're causing, at least the westerners can drive their cars around. But hey, we should just pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, right?

Who'd you vote for?

Because I can all but guarantee that the Shell paid money for whatever they are doing, and if you are not seeing any of that money, it is going to the leaders who sold Shell those rights.

So yeah, "The West" is buying resources at fire-sale prices from Africa, but they they're paying your leaders, and if you don't see a cent of that money, it is not the West's fault.

If your are unhappy that the resources are being mined relentlessly and you are getting nothing in return, then ask yourself where that money is going. If you think the land is being destroyed, ask yourself why you voted in leaders who took the money in exchange for destroying the land.

> But the west has 0 understanding of what they did here, they elected to whitewash history instead. Plenty of scars to disprove the narratives.

I'm South African, always have been. We have plenty of scars, but a significant number of them are self-inflicted. We vote along tribal lines (white man bad, black man good) and are then surprised when we don't see a cent of all the money going to our politicians.

> Novaxxers here aren’t simply free thinkers. They’re totalitarians attacking scientific proof, wishing that their magical thinking could be taken as reference by policymaking. They’re above all extreme individualists who put their personal choice in front of everyone else’s well being, out of principle.

So you mean people like Dr. Robert Malone (one of inventors of the mRNA vaccine) warnings long time ago about vaccine enhanced infections and low vaccine efficacy after he saw biodistribution data that was revealed after a FOIA request? And it looks like no one care about him beside "novaxxers".

Or like banning people from social media after they report data from VAERS database?

Or ignoring doctors that say we should look more into this vaccines side effects (because of they experiences, like chief pathologist at the University of Heidelberg that say people who die in connection with a vaccination should have to be examined more frequently)?
Ile de France is bigger than LA, it's not small.
That's not my impression, my impression is that it's laziness channeled into virtue signaling to show all the other lazy people out there that if they are fed up with having to struggle for results then instead they can redefine the struggle as evil and their ideal circumstance of doing nothing and being praised for it may become a reality.

Of course this mindset can only ever attract other lazy people and even then only from a distance. Even lazy people desire relationships with people putting in the effort.

As always, if something is advertised as "fast" (or especially lightning-fast), it would be really nice to see some performance characterizations to explain in what way it is fast. Otherwise it feels so very meaningless label that is so often slapped on things on very weak grounds. And just because the building blocks might individually be said to be fast, it doesn't automatically mean that the conglomerate of them is still fast; performance is a fickle thing.
