I am yet to work on a team with a simple, reliable and repeatable build process.

Most build processes (from basic scripts or Makefiles all the way up to CI/CD product-specific pipeline configurations) are complex, brittle, opaque and poorly understood by most of the team. I've seen time and time again one or two people emerge as the "build" people because most team members want to run as far away as they can, and it's easier to let someone else gatekeep the mysterious black box that sometimes does something useful. These processes typically grow organically on an as-needed basis and are rarely designed under a unifying vision.

I think it's a combination of lack of experience on the engineers part, bad off the shelf tooling, lack of recognition of the cost and as a result under investment by the business.
Opportunity cost ≠ 0$.
I think Wintermute and Efficient frontier also at least dabble.
What's the threshold over which you believe crime is no longer okay?

AirPods Max? Only $549.
A MacBook? Only $2000.
A car? Only $20000.

Does someone have to burn my house down for it to be worthwhile for the police?
Yes, I'm also looking at buying a house in California, but I too am afraid to buy a home anywhere that could realistically burn in the next 10-30 years. It's a shame since it rules out many of the best (and more affordable) areas of the state.
As an indie dev, I'm really not getting this.

Android has had alternate app stores for years. I don't recall any of them being a panacea for poor struggling devs held captive by Google Play. I stopped offering my apps on any of them as it was never worth the bother.

What problem is this trying to solve for who exactly? I don't see any way this ends up as a win for small devs.
Not the one you're asking, but I gotta ask - what about it?

Some folks don't find it to be that significant - asexual/aromantic

As I've aged I've grown towards those, but I'm still fairly 'young' (32)

Be it nature or nurture, it's not as significant as it once was...

Not that it's completely ruled out here personally, but it's like sitting on the fence - and being happy either way.

Personally I enjoy my time to myself and everything that comes attached with sex/intimacy is [or tends to be] exhausting.

> Painting a political activist provocateur's experience online as representative of how women are treated online is ridiculous at best.

It’s any woman with a decent profile online - a year or two ago a bunch of women in the tech space posted the Twitter DMs they received every day for a week or so - a tsunami of crap saying they’re ugly, they’re stupid, they’re going to be raped/killed etc.

She didn’t say that, but did post screenshots of a bunch of slurs based on her surname.
I always liked darker things, even outside computers. Whenever I can make something darker, I do it. Feels much comfortable to the eyes. Bit I'm pretty sure light UIs are still the most popular. Maybe not in certain crowds, but for the general public, I think light UI is king.
To me, that's a pretty appropriate reaction. Someone is abusing something that is very explicitly not for that use. At some point, you have to be firm that what's being done is bad, and it being bad should be obvious.
The government could have done both, so I don't think we should frame it as competing loans.
You expect Apple do make an open protocol? This is the role of a government to mandate standards for their jurisdictions.

Of course, regulation is a bad word for a good number of the electorate so this will never happen.
You would be surprised about how many times I've seen the internalVariableDoNotUse symbol to be exposed on the formal API of a library because everybody uses it already, it would be too much work to change it.

It's not really endemic to Wikipedia as such, in my humble opinion. And the project still works.
What do you think that paper actually says? I keep seeing it cited as "no, this is how much the bailouts really cost!", but that's not what it's about at all and anyone who has actually read it cannot credibly come to that conclusion.

It's about assessing the fair value of the bailout programs, at the time they were executed - i.e. the estimated net present value of the future cashflows under the bailout programs. The author argues that it unhelpful from a policy perspective to do an ex post analysis because it only describes what happened in this case, rather than what could've happened. i.e. when considering whether a bailout is good value, we should consider what happens if its unsuccessful.

There is absolutely no doubt that the bailouts have been profitable for the government in terms of actual repayments.
The future will bring technology to harvest more energy or otherwise neutralize the waste.

I believe that future will come long before warnings in today's languages become unintelligible.

If there's some kind of apocalypse where science gets a hard reset, then sealed up nuclear waste is probably very low on the list of realistic and dangerous threats.
The co-working space I used to go right out of college used to have Sonos speakers. Occasionally, there'd be times when I wanted to work where the couches were but didn't want to listen to blaring pop music or something that was too rhythmic later in the day, so I started looking for ways to interrupt the audio stream going to the sonos devices. It turns out after a bit of snooping with nmap and looking at some Sonos forums that two specific ports are used to maintain sync between Sonos speakers and stream data to them. Then I just wrote a python script that would blast these ports with TCP traffic on the wifi (which the sonos speakers were also connected to) and would use the script when I wanted peace and quiet without headphones. Turns out that networking class I took in college wasn't a waste afterall.
This narrative comes up a lot, back with NWO and FEMA black helicopters in the '90s all the way to the Great Reset and Davos Man in the modern day. Theodore Kaczynski also wrote about it. While it's hard to deny there might be those who are in favor of this, it's also hard to see that such an elaborate, well-engineered plan is actually in formation.

UBI? While that popular has gotten some currency in the last couple of years, in the U.S. alone it's been basically impossible to get a measly second round of one-time $2k (now 1.4k) stimulus checks out, much less a reoccurring program.

Biometrics? The concept of national ID has been DOA in the U.S. for decades. Despite the use of vaccination cards, which are plain paper, it is still no more politically feasible to pursue such policies. The U.S. has a culture that's uniquely individualist and anti-centralization, and this is bipartisan- the ACLU has resisted E-Verify because of fears of the creation of an onerous national ID system.

Being provided at a low level? The lack of affordable housing and the rise in visible homelessness contradicts that notion.

> On the ground floor then, we will see a conflict between generations. [...] What little wealth is on the ground floor, will shift up and become owned by corporations.

That is much more believable, that centralization of wealth leads to centralization of power. And we have seen this before in history, just look at the Gilded Age. But that is a very different thing from a carefully-engineered plan towards elite control. It isn't an intentional plan to squeeze out middle-class homebuyers, or to crush millennials with debt. It's simply a side effect of vast, blind, financial games. The ants are getting stomped upon by warring elephants.

People need to remember Hanlon's Razor. Instead of trying to ascribe calculated malice towards the powers-that-be, remember they are simply as clueless as the rest of everyone. They've simply been playing the game to win, and continuously rewriting the rules to keep winning. In such a case, technocracy is but a side effect, not an intentional social engineering project. Gibson, not Orwell.

Apple is free to charge whatever they want for the use of their servers and infrastructure, and while it's not a good look, they're also welcome to charge again for the use of their intellectual property. However, that's not a reason that third-parties shouldn't be able to access that data. If I've got a Google Pixel in my pocket, the cost is marginal for me to send an API request to Apple's servers and use Find My elsewhere. Hell, Apple could force third-party devices to enable Bluetooth pinging in exchange for their use of the Find My network. It's apparently been lucrative enough on iPhone, I see no reasons besides "muh walled garden" that they shouldn't extend the functionality to other users.
If this comes into effect will we see a plethora of appstores on each devices? Every app worth its salt will want to create their own bundle or App Store and hope to control their own end to end experience. I cannot imagine how terrible that experience is going to be.

These are all separate responsibilities of different groups.

The Fed's charter is to maintain a low, predictable rate of inflation over the medium term and to maximize employment. You (in aggregate) won't have a job if all the employers go bankrupt due to direct investments and contagion. This will directly impact (in aggregate) your ability to make your mortgage payments.

Secondarily, regulation of the financial sector to ensure this doesn't happen again isn't JPow's job, it's the job of Congress.

Bailing out the institutions does not preclude further regulation to prevent the situation from happening again. And it certainly doesn't preclude creating a meaningful social safety net.
Only the original copyright holder can decide what the license of wordle is. You cannot take their work and “make it open source”. Please do read up on how open source licensing and copyright works.

You could create a repository of the code as-is and call it preservation if you’d like, that’s ok. The author can still ask you to take it sown though. But you cannot relicense it and tell people they can do whatever they want with the code. It’s not yours.

The original author could have open sourced this but didn’t. You can’t just do it for them.

Just one more point as food for thought:

One more thing to consider is that the virus is also able to cause myocarditis, especially if you don't rest long enough even if feeling fine. In fact, the virus can potentially cause additional complications even with mild symptoms. There are also things we don't really understand yet with post-viral syndromes which affects many people (disclaimer: Epstein-Barr / Mono messed me up, personally).

This isn't unique to SARS-CoV-2 either, it's a more general viral infection thing and can happen just as well with influenza. With Omicron, it's also very likely that people will get it sooner or later - vaccinated or not.

Granted, most myocarditis goes unnoticed and recovers very well with a bit of rest.
Also the sheer volume of patients does not give you any room for getting bogged down on researching the best treatment for one patient.
I used the same extension but now moved to https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery. You can group tabs, set rules (like automatically move to group X if URL matches Y) and much more. Best of all, you can save a snapshot of your tabs to open in the future instead of relying on restoring previous session.

I'm not sure how old "as you get older" is, but as at 43 and after a decade+ of staring at my computer programming every, I can say that darm mode is the worst and I find it more difficult to read white/light text on black/dark backgrounds.

I love all the Austrian Economics (thanks Satoshi!) comments we get in a supposedly data-driven environment.

You are just being pedantic, while the parent comment offered a fairly useful distinction between those two types of services, even though it might not be the dictionary definition.

Both a cement mixer and a honda civic are vehicles that one can drive on the road by nature. The point still stands that they shouldn't be compared directly, as they serve completely different purposes (despite them both being drivable vehicles).

They make a show of 'doing something', they muted the soundtrack of the video I made of my fishtank set to an old Pink Floyd song back when I was a hippie. But almost any song I think of can be found on Youtube be it Taylor Swift or Neal Young or Metallica. They pop up some dialog box asking you if you want to subscribe to their music service but why would you subscribe to any music service when Youtube has it all for free?

You can't find every movie or TV show on Youtube but I watched Alter Ego on Youtube after I ran out of free views from the Fox web site. Youtube must have more TV shows and movies in it than Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV, etc.

Cloud gaming exists on iOS as well. And is just as insignificant there as it is on other platforms.

And you are being disingenuous by deliberately ignoring the manual checks that Apple's review team does to prevent malicious apps from being disseminated. I work for a bank and my Mac laptop has 6 apps pre-installed designed purely to prevent malware/viruses. The same will unquestionably be needed on iOS for those using it for sensitive tasks.

>As an European I envy how affordable real estate is in the US compared to Germany for example

You're comparing apples to oranges. You're comparing one of the cheapest major cities in the US to one of the more expensive cities in Europe. According to Zillow the median home price in Dallas is just under $300,000 but the median home price in Seattle where I'm currently renting and trying to buy a home is 3 times that at $900,000. So please don't tell me how good I have it in the US with real estate. With how large and diversified the US is, a more fair comparison would be to compare Dallas real estate prices to say a city like Bucharest and compare Munich real estate prices to a major US city on the west coast (San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle) or the northeast (DC, New York City, Boston).
I feel the exact same way. After my last vacation, I actually felt a little awkward posting pictures of it after- for many years FB had served as a great online photo album, but this was around the election, and it was all hatebook type stuff and posts from news outlets and such, it felt out of place to post pictures from my life on there. It was a very strange feeling, and I think a big harbinger of where they have gone wrong as a company. As less people post about whats going on in their lives, I find less value on the site, and the cycle seems self perpetuating at this point. I am not sure how they turn this around... and I say this as someone who was once something of a fanboy and has held their stock since the IPO.

If I was in Zuck's shoes, I would kill all political content on the site... immediately and banish it to never come back. Really all outside content needs to go, I don't want news of any sort from FB aside from the "original content" my friends produce. And if you want, inject a reasonable number of ads in between, and I can deal with that, but their "product" in my eyes is their social feed, and that is a fraction of the size it once was.
> I'm sure these existed before, but COVID has taken things to another level.

Similar as to the other posted said - this type of fiction writing has existed before COVID. It's just that now you're all reading the same statistical fiction.

Essentially - one genre of statistical fiction got popular. Whereas before everyone was reading different genres.

No, a lot of saunas in Finland are electric heated. But they're still only 3*16A at most (and usually a lot less, but that depends on the size of the sauna). I think mine is ~7kW and still heats the sauna to high temperatures, just takes a bit more time.

I still don't get though, if living in rural area, why not heat the pool with wood. It just has that sensation that electric heater doesn't provide.
Meta Says Apple’s Privacy Changes Could Cost the Company $10B
You are in luck! Another way to manage subscriptions client side is to use PayPal. In the same way you have control over all your subscriptions in one place, and can cancel without the interference of the counterparty - a great benefit indeed. And paypal can work with anything, any entity that has a PayPal account. PP is, of course, not without its own horror stories, however a lot of that is around p2p selling-gone-wrong. I have not experienced or even heard of problems around subscriptions, so I think this is a sweet spot.

> An increase in supply is not a debasement. That is measured post-facto based on its impact.

An increase in supply is always a debasement.

It's true that you might see the following chronology:

1/1/2020: value of the currency measured

6/6/2020: supply of the currency increased

1/1/2021: value of the currency measured; it's higher than it was last year!

But that doesn't mean the issue on 6/6/2020 wasn't a debasement. It definitely was, and the reason it doesn't look that way is your very low-resolution measurement of value. If the supply increase hadn't happened, the value on 1/1/2021 would have been even higher.
