I don't think GP is talking about JavaScript dom manipulation, i think they are talking about typescript/babel/webpack/esm basically even before nyou start programming in a high level language like js you have to use a bunch of tools that you don't even know how they work, it's just some magic config you set up and cross your fingers.

But maybe I'm reading too much into their post.

I'm a dev of 12 years who cut my teeth on assembly and c, i currently write "modern" js and I feel this way, if it's far too complicated for me, it's going to be even worse for a newbie
We both use macOS/iOS so we use various shared notes for things like grocery lists or memos, and shared calendars.

We each have our own personal Keepass database for our personal accounts and then a shared Keepass database for stuff we both might need to access. We save this database in iCloud Drive and use Strongbox to use these on iOS/macOS.

All of our documents are scanned and saved in a shared iCloud folder, and both computers are regularly backed up to a RAID 1 NAS by Time Machine.
Yeah, I applied once and was never given an answer, just come back next week.

Yes, I suppose you might not want to sign every working copy commit, but as you noted on the issue, it would probably make sense on `jj close/commit` (aliases).

> Do you intend to keep that CLA mechanism in place

I started working on this project internally and then open-sourced it. I don't think I'm allowed to remove the CLA bot. I understand that it's annoying :(
In 10 Years, ‘Remote Work’ Will Simply Be ‘Work’
For one, overdraft fees should only be charged once per calendar month, not for every overage.

Also, the burden on the bank for an overdraft is near zero, so why is it $35 for the customer? Perhaps a fee of only $5 would be less regressive?
I wish I could be this positive and resourceful on this topic. It just gives me the urge to write a passive-aggressive tirade against the unfounded (almost manufactured) hate against this powerful technology. Nobody is putting it back in the box, no matter how many years they spend whining on their ironically named "dunning-kruger" blogs. Dammit, there I go again. I could go on for 12 more paragraphs but I'll cut it short here.
Yes its interesting both because of the series of winner-take-all competitions, but also because while cost-of-processing X computations is linear with scaling, the processing threshold X is not a constant, but a variable based on competition.

You are incentivized to increase costs/performance wherever that will allow you to win competitions.

What costs do that? Any cost that increases your speed faster than linear - i.e. transitions to new hardware tech.

Note that if the cost of the transition is achievable but extremely high, that actually makes the transition more attractive. It is a barrier to followers who won't be rewarded as much for their investment as the first to do so will be.

A hyper competitive market.
You're probably right that most people think of their browser history as more secret or sensitive than their DNA, and maybe we're just disagreeing over semantics here, but "personal" can have a significantly different connotation.

One way to look at it is that someone's choices (and the pages they've visited) are things in their past, and even a medical diagnosis could be old news if they've since been cured. Their unique DNA signature, on the other hand, has been with them since before they were born, and will remain with them, largely unchanged, for the rest of their life, and even some time beyond. (Their DNA may also have a big effect on when they die, and the sort of life they live while they are alive too).

That's why DNA feels to me like it's an intrinsic part of someone's personhood, in a way that "They visited Hacker News yesterday" doesn't.
> But what ended up working much better was taking that same team and having each person on call for a week at a time, all based in Pacific Time.

Our support team does the same, and they seem to be quite happy with it. They also get the following Friday off (in addition to compensation).

They do their best to shield us developers from after-hour calls, usually one can get things moving enough that it can be handled properly in the morning.
And you could find it yourself. But I'm mildly interested so...

2010: 1.5 billion pageviews per month, 4x-ish YoY growth: https://techcrunch.com/2010/07/19/tumblr-stats/

2011: growth plateauing, sold to Yahoo for $4.8 billion

2013: sold to Verizon (against user objections) for $1.1 billion

2018: adult content banned, traffic dips

2019: sold to Automattic for peanuts (supposedly <$3 million, Automattic refuses to confirm)

You can find various graphs on Statista. This one shows user growth basically vanishing post-Yahoo (this is just new users, not reflective of lost users): https://www.statista.com/statistics/426531/tumblr-us-user-gr...

So in context of Tumblr having a shot at being a top social network -- the actual history is a decline from being competitive with Facebook, to being a barely-unicorn, to basically selling for nothing and having no user growth. But again, if there's some evidence of an uptick I think it would be great to see. I'd much prefer Tumblr/Automattic over Facebook/Meta.
Time is pretty special. iOS alone is over a decade old and a constantly evolving target and it's itself a direct descendant of a 30+ year old system.

It's a low cost, low probability way to look for advanced civilizations. Chances are low that you'll find anything, but hey the data's already here and we have powerful computers so let's run some calculations.

If you're already going to these lengths to compartmentalize, you might as well just run Qubes. It's really not much more mental overhead.

Plus you get nice features like different color window borders for applications running in different profiles, properly permissioned inter-profile RPC, virtualized networking ('personal' gets networking from clearnet 'sys-firewall', 'work' gets networking from 'work-vpn', 'project1' gets networking over Tor from 'sys-whonix', etc.), and much, much more.

Japan is suffering a national ennui - WW2 land loss to Russia? Ww2 in general. The youth are having zero or one child and the nation is shrinking. They are still tech strong, but their management hierarchy is aged and sluggish in mind. They were used to creating new patented tech and managing it for optimal life and profit. China has changed things. Things are copied in days, IP ignored in many cases and the product made in huge volumes at lower margins that Japan likes.
Look at how they milk games, prosecute every ROM copier - even on dead games they no longer sell. A forward looking management would help these ROMMERs and legitimise them and profit from the exchange - instead dead heads at the top rule as it ever was.
There needs to be a wholesale reinvention of the Japanese management hierarchy for them to have any hope - like Silicon Valley startups - what does Japan Inc do - enuf said...
> biological explanations of poverty

That's brave territory. But nonetheless, we shouldn't be prevented from discussing, let alone researching it.

Naval Ravikant talks about this quite a bit, - universities escalated to establish themselves to higher levels of truth-authority since the 50s given the objectiveness and fruits of hard sciences, (physics, biology, chemistry, microeconomics). However, now soft social "sciences" such as Gender studies and macroeconomics (you know it's not a hard science because it says Science behind it) have bullied their way to the front. Wherein, the hard sciences are being displaced yet cemented with the same aforementioned authority - but with the reluctance, or even sabotage to objectively discuss, let alone research dissenting ideas.

Especially under duress is Evolutionary Biology, here is a prime example -

I don't fully understand why so many people can't accept the notion that people have different levels of capability to succeed. Maybe most folks who are poor just don't have the mental capacity to do much more than they're doing. If that's true, then definitionally nothing will really "help" short of something like UBI. And even that might fail since recipients will get swindled out of the money.

To me, it's unfortunate that the notion of different levels of capability has been transmuted into some kind of social ill that "must" be solved. It'd be like reading articles about why not everyone can run a 5 minute mile and what can be done about it. Not everyone can run a 5 minute mile! It's not fixable!
Try consciously resting your tongue against the roof of your mouth and breathing through your nose.
It's funny, sometimes it seems they try their hardest to accommodate people who create problems and ignore the people who actually add to the city coffers... and now they are essentially telling the people they ignored "please come back."

City centers are nice when the atmosphere is nice, but if you get a lot of quality of life crime --like 1980's SF and NYC, people will stop coming. With a remote work option, now there is even less reason to venture into places where you don't know if an addict or ruffian will go off on you unexpected.

I guess if the concern is around atomically committing to the DB and event stream at the same time, you could hang the event stream off the DB using change-data-capture to populate the events.

Ultimately, whenever you are pushing data between systems you can end up with inconsistencies which why it’s important to clearly define systems of record.
Even a browser driveby attack is wormable if you use various social media for spreading.

Few vaguely reliable RCE bugs aren’t wormable. Even ones requiring significant user interaction are wormable, office macros are wormable.

Workable bugs are far more common than actual worms.
> Microsoft decided they had won and mothballed Internet Explorer development

the difference is that Microsoft wanted to protect the Desktop platform. Google isn't in that position with the Andorid platform, but requires improvement on the Web.

That said: I fear the power Google has in that realm.
A lot of manufacturing left the USA along time ago due so I’m not sure why the economics literature says it doesn’t matter? Yes, the service jobs that now dominate in the USA are largely unaffected, but that’s more due to survivor bias than any underlying economic mechanism.

Automation and self service (like in European cafeterias) is largely the response when services become too uneconomical to be done manually. Those elevator operators aren’t coming back to the USA.
I think to a large extent this is a mythical man-month thing. Beyond a small scale, you probably can't improve or speed up operating system design by throwing money and person count at it.
> The key is finding good mental health professionals

Unfortunately, the odds of actually doing this aren't great in my experience. The field seems to be packed with people who are only qualified on paper and have no idea how to actually help people, and it's hard to screen them without going through their intake process first.
Mostly because it's not clear that from-scratch rewrites produce better results. They can if the entire architecture needs to be different, but for many libraries it just devolves into an exercise in bikeshedding.

This is particularly true of the US government which, if you've seen their IT systems, is not going to be anyone sane's first choice for doing from-scratch rewrites.
I think the author of this article should read the Mythical Man Month (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month), in particular on the difference between (all quotes are from that book)

- a program, “complete in itself, ready to be run by the author on the system on which it was developed”

- a programming product: “a program that can be run, tested, repaired, and extended by anybody. It is usable in many operating environments, for many sets of data”

- a programming system: “a collection of interacting programs, coordinated in function and disciplined in format, so that the assemblage constitutes an entire facility for large tasks“

- a programming systems product: “This differs from the simple program in all of the above ways. […] But it is the truly useful object, the intended product of most system programming effort”

They all have their place, and if you need a program, spending time on writing a product, a programming system or a programming systems product is a waste of effort.

Most scientific code falls in the program or, maybe, somewhat in the direction of the programming product category, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

(Note that quality is a concept that’s orthogonal to this distinction)
Branch prediction exists so the common case can be made very fast (much faster than jump to this remote pointer), and also, rust uses an optimizing compiler for a reason. Eg., you use a vector inside a for, the vector’s code can be inlined and the checking part be done only at the boundary. Also, one can also manually perform an unchecked push/get/whatever as well.
It isn't a good argument for why you shouldn't give out resources. Even if parents are going to "steal" the funds, as you say, you are still giving them that much more overhead, and research shows the vast, vast majority of people aren't going to behave like you describe (educate yourself, consume some real leftist content)
Apple+ has some stuff in Rust, in my understanding.
That doesn't at all address use of pointers that have since become invalid (via free or function return, say).
Some people have morals that make them oppose plans that they view as likely to economically harm many people. Unregulated, speculative investments like this are a zero-sum game and are going to lead to a lot of people losing their life savings on foolish investments and scams.

NFTs waste power right now. If 5 years from now they switch to PoS like Ethereum has been unsuccessfully trying to do for over a decade, then great—you can discuss it then, but it's a clear net negative for humanity at the moment.
"would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution"

And it successfully achieved this specific goal, however it never claimed it is a good solution for micro/small payments, which is a requirement for "normal currency". Payments of small amounts require small fees and quick settlement time, neither of which Bitcoin has by design.

If there are no major European Ad companies, then this is a false comparison - which is the point.

If the EU has no economic horse in the race, they are going to make rules that reflect that. If anything, even to ban the companies that other countries have that are valuable if they are uninterested or unable to compete.
complicit with the "surveillance capitalism" model of profiling and tracking every adult with disposable income, and then some. That is in itself, enough to convict the American political class, to my mind. As said more than forty years ago in America and more true than ever, the "two party" system is not really.
I think this highlights the importance of actually analyzing your RP/RT (recovery point/recovery time) requirements through the lens of business value, and being honest about the ROI of buying that extra 9 in uptime.

It may be the case that 2 hours of downtime is completely unacceptable for the business, and paying $Xmm extra per year to maintain it is the right call. Or it may be that the business would be horrified to learn how many dollars are being spent to avert a level of downtime that no customer would notice or care about.

If the requirement is just being set by engineering, then it's more about finding the equilibrium where the resource spent on automation balances the cost of the manual toil and the associated morale impact on the team. Nobody wants to work on a team where everything is on fire all the time, and it's time/money well spent to avert that situation.
Poor people without cars really aren't the issue, if you can't afford a car in America, you are extremely poor and really an outlier. Pretty much anyone working even minimum wage can afford a car. The problem is a ballooning costs of ownership and all the other systemic failures that keep the majority of lower income people ~60% of the US trapped in a situation where they can not accumulate any substantial savings, assets or wealth and are merely surviving.

They changed their storage share (hosted Nextcloud) offerings as well. I had NX10 100GB for €3.45, which is now gone. The NX11 1TB is €4.64 and the base offering.
They've done their own version of a lot of things, but then have open sourced what they can to grow the base of people familiar with that tech who can make things with it.

I mean, on some level you can try to make your own custom TempleOS for everything, but that only gets you (possibly) reduced scrutiny and hiring issues simply because nobody knows how to use it. But if you're already a target, the reduced scrutiny is probably a bad thing since the good guys won't point out the bugs to get them fixed.

U.S. Army Recruiting Command Fiscal Year 2019 Overview

"Qualified youth: 71% of youth do not qualify for military service because of obesity, drugs, physical and mental health problems, misconduct, and aptitude."

"Quality: 3.2% fewer waivers than FY18, with the bulk of the reduction coming from conduct waivers. Lowest percentage of conduct waivers in two decades."[1]

So, no, the U.S. military is not looking for people with criminal records. Waivers are hard to get.

Hugo is friggin' awesome for developers that want a high-quality blog. I've seen some incredible websites powered by Hugo that you'd never guess were powered by it.

I say "for developers" because you'll usually need to write at least some HTML and CSS overlays over the themes that Hugo makes available to do things like add analytics tags or custom footers. This is a slight hindrance for non-devs who just want to generate content. Medium or Substack work really well for this user persona.

(Git is not easy to teach outside of the big three commands --- clone, commit, push.

Right. And businesses can always get creative by improving productivity (via automation) to survive with rising labor costs. Those that cannot simply cease to exist, entire industries die out all the time.
