I had to hot desk once, the hot desk area was placed in a dark and windowless area next to the break room and was shoulder to shoulder. Also it was about 75 meters from my co-workers. Luckily no-one else bothered using it so I didn't have to sit with someone else 10 cm away from my elbow. But it was still pretty demoralizing.

The constant break room noise was horrible. The smells from people microwaving Erdrich horrors mixed with the scent of fried foods. I was so far from everyone that no-one would bother visiting or even know I was at the office unless I wandered over and said hi. It seems inevitable that hot desks are always placed in the most horrible locations.

Whoever came up with the concept of "Hot-Desking" should be launched on the next solar probe as heat shielding.
You can't avoid manually testing the frontend anyways. In my experience there is a small part that benefits from automated tests but the vast majority of frontend code needs to be looked at and interacted with by a human being, preferably people who are really good testers.

I work with someone who does this _really_ well, he finds stuff (very quickly) that your typical user/client just wouldn't - and all the other stuff as well. We sometimes joke about how cool it would be if we were able to encode this in automated tests somehow. A good tester knows their users and knows the tech well enough to find anything that could break that communication between them.

Some of that you can encode in acceptance tests - after the fact. But the tricky things you just can't. You have to interact with it, discuss it, look at it from different angles and try to break it - play.

Another class of problem, even without errors, is needlessly restricted concurrent access: your teams tries to push an urgent fix that needs to be built, tested and deployed an hour ago, to find that the CI system will be on its knees, or actually locked, because another team is compiling and testing something unimportant. In many cases, insult can be added to injury by forcing you to waste more time after the other build finishes to change version numbers or merge completely irrelevant changes in source control.
It doesn't take too long to climb back up; unlike Minecraft, you can walk/run up one level of elevation so it's not like you have to hit the jump key a thousand times. No fast travel that I know of, but dying will reset you to the last campfire you touched, so you could use that in a pinch. Also the game is open source, you can compile it yourself and teleport anywhere with dev options, or add the ability to fast travel. :)
Thanks for the educational response! I've been long wondering why it seems as if carriers are implicit in the widespread scam.
Most of them do have a selection of profiles so you can choose economy or sport modes. In reality I bet most are going to be stuck in economy because despite the enormous expense they are still poor on range.
They're also loud inside, in my experience louder than ICE vehicles. i3 at 130kph+ doesn't allow for normal conversation, especially when it's raining. It's very difficult to know how fast the car is going without constantly observing the speedometer, I dread any EV without a HUD. The acceleration is very uncomfortable to some of my passengers because of the instant torque and lack of noise feedback. I very much do not like one pedal driving. Second leg is hanging there doing nothing. The need to constantly keep the acceleration pedal pressed is annoying, slight repositioning of the foot makes the car lose speed in an instant. I do not like that there is no center tunnel. In an ICE vehicle, when the foot is on the accelerator, the knee rests on the tunnel and is supported by the tunnel. In an EV, because of that space, the leg doesn't have anything to rest on. This is very annoying on long distances.
Is there something like a "definitive truth"? Being an atheist, I would say, that this is an overly simplistic view. But that would be my personal take on that.

Utilitarianism isn't a rational choice. What if - in my extreme example, one of the two surviving people would have been Hitler?

Or even less dramatic, still contrived: What if the person being killed would go on and invent a cure against cancer?

You can't predict the future and these contrived examples only show, that (probably) every theory/philosophy can be brought to its knees by going to its extreme conclusions. So how to quantify "value"? How do we calculate the consequences of our decisions? We can't imho.
Maybe just for when it's on wheels? As it's gonna be faster and more unstable in that mode
As an American, I consider Wallin's conviction baffling and outrageous. But I find the explanation of the rationale behind Sweden's defamation law interesting:

To be an outcast in such a society has different and potentially more extreme consequences than in the United States, and the strict legislation around defamation reflects the importance of protecting each citizen’s right to remain a part of the collective.
Oh, this is far, far worse. It shows the CIA is just as rogue as the Kremlin, and given their history it is fairly clear now that within these two groups there is extreme collusion. The Western intelligence apparatus has been hijacked by a force that is getting instructions from the reptilian brain instead of the cerebral cortex, meaning they are now the enemy.
You can decrease the opacity of the purple/loss. It seems like a lot of the loss areas is the same areas where there's gain. It would be nice if there was some estimate of "unreplaced loss" or "predicted net loss"; the purple on top of the blue is visually difficult to discriminate.
>It's not even "power" per say, just instant torque

That's what I was thinking. EVs have a totally different torque curve than ICE cars, but that doesn't imply faster acceleration. In fact, there are a few cars in the non-performance Model 3s price range that will out-accelerate it 0-60.

At least the guy was honest about not being a "car guy", though; he's got a 12 year old car, half the stuff he mentions have been standard features on cars for 5+ years.
My high-school only had 2000 students, and elementary/middle school had only a fraction of that.

Surely a lot of us work on campuses / office complexes that have more than 2000 office workers?

If we have bus systems that can effectively serve ~500 person elementary schools or ~300 person elementary schools, surely we can serve a 5000-person office complex with some kind of mass-transit option?

He's right though.

I'm sure there are better arguments for a monorepo because I disagree with all 4 of the OPs ones:

> Single source of truth

This has never been a problem for me. You have an app in one repo depending on a version of a package built from another. I don't see the problem.

> Visible cost of change

Altering code does NOT require you to make sure everything is updated or compatible, only if you make a breaking change that the compiler can see or you affect a test that will fail after your change. There are lots of changes you can make that the monorepo doesn't detect any more than a multi-repo

> Sharing and reusing code

I don't agree that finding existing functionality to reuse is easier. How so? You search for "Tokenize" and hope to find something relevant? It is honestly no harder for me than looking into shared libraries or other packages.

> Improved collaboration

"Aligning repos". Not an issue as mentioned earlier. "Change the code and get proper reviews", this is nothing to do with monorepos.

So sorry, I am not personally convinced that many orgs would benefit from monorepos unless they have the skill or cash to pay for the maintenance, the much larger testing requirements, the ability to unblock an organisation when one numpty has broken something or the fact that a load of projects get up-versioned all the time because one change was made to one thing, and this article did not convince me any more.

You make this weird assumption that he leaped into that house because the car had 1000 HP instead of the fact that he was an idiot.

The report said he was driving at 113 MPH, which is easily achievable in most modern cars way below even your 500 HP Tesla.

A bit off-topic, but having seen a picture of the aftermath of the house (https://www.tampabay.com/news/crime/2021/10/08/man-who-crash...) I have to say I'm glad we build houses out of brick where I live. While there are no guarantees at that speed, it would have definitely slowed the car down more than wood framing.
The reviewer is clearly someone that’s never driven a luxury car.

Luxury cars have all the features he’s talking about. Luxury cars have good acceleration. Yes, EVs have better acceleration, but not dramatically better than a typical sports car.
C-PTSD is probably the simplest way to summarize what I’ve been dealing with (I’m not totally comfortable with the label).

I’ve done 20 ketamine sessions over the past 2 years (the last one about 5 months ago). I agree with you that a lot of the immediate relief from an infusion can fade after not that long. However, combined with some of the other work I was doing there was a slow accumulation of benefits and new perspectives on life.

Overall, the infusions definitely helped… it hasn’t been easy going though, and I have been continuing to work on myself.

A few months ago, I finally found a therapist who I felt was actually helping me. I had tried a few different therapists in years past and it wasn’t that helpful. My current therapist uses a lot of “somatic therapy” in her work, which I think is really important. With trauma, talk alone won’t get you very far.

I’ve made a lot of progress since November when I started seeing her. I think the Ketamine and the work I had been doing on my on own “prepped” me in a certain sense.

Your friend might benefit from finding a good somatic therapist.

> Does your CI system not have a "retry" or "restart" button?

It's pretty common on GitHub that PRs trigger a build but unless the author has some permission on the target project already, can't trigger a rebuild. I'd estimate 30%+ of the PRs I create fail for reasons unrelated to my changes and I have to ask someone to retry.
> Don't you mean 13.0, 12.2 and 11.4?

Directly from freebsd.org front page, "Production: 13.0, 12.3, 12.2"

But to your point, it seems like FreeBSD could eliminate a branch since what equates to the "LTS" gets confusing due to the version methodology [0] in use.

Instead of the current flow of:

CURRENT > STABLE > BETA* > RC* > RELEASE

Maybe a more approach version methodology would be:

STABLE (stable major release) > CURRENT (testing minor release) > RELEASE (stable minor release)

That applies for ARM-based appliances which in most if not all cases run U-Boot... the problem is, in literally every appliance whose firmware I touched for one or the other reason the respective fork of U-Boot was extremely old, and the vendors did not publish the sources at all or lacking the configuration used.

In the mobile sector, most don't ship u-boot but some other bootloader, in this case mostly because u-boot doesn't support GUI operation/output which is vital for a phone.
I wouldn't have thought this an issue if you're behind an AWS WAF or LB? (and assuming AWS is patched already)
How can this even be a thing? My simplistic understanding is that if the phone is locked to a given carrier (down in the baseband part of it) sending a particular magic string of digits to it (the baseband) will clear that flag and it will henceforth be unlocked. Permanently. Is there really a corresponding re-lock operation?

In Canada at least, we went through three stages. 1. Buy locked second-hand phone, send $20 to shady operator somewhere to get unlock code, unlock. 2. Buy locked second-hand phone, call up the carrier it is locked to and demand the unlock code, which (after the law changed) they had to legally give you free of charge[1], enter digits, unlock. 3. No more unlocked phones since carrier locking is now illegal.

Doesn't that mean that in Canada, reaching down and "re-locking" a phone is also illegal? And since we're generally a bit behind here compared to the USA, how can such a problem even exist any more?

Note[1]: My mom loves her landline phones and refuses to use a smartphone. So she has one of those cellular-to-phone-jack gateways. I procured a spare replacement via classified ads. It was locked. Called the carrier, got the digits. Entered them via DTMF keypad on an old fashioned phone. I could hardly believe this would work, but it did! The thing unlocked and henceforth worked with any SIM.

No, I'm not trying to do that. If you read my post, I plainly agree that torture is out of bounds entirely in any instance, ever, forever.

I'm not sure how to re-word that to clarify.
The thing with NY is that it not only has an extensive public transit system but there's no cultural expectation for you to own a car. And even if you owned one, getting out of the city is a bit of a pain so I'm guessing people don't do it on weekends, much less weeknights, as much as they do other places.

Whereas somewhere like Boston, a lot of your friends probably live in the suburbs and do weekend activities in the mountains or wherever. You can get off without one--I'm sure people do--but, especially as you get older, it affects your activities to at least some degree.

I indeed was paying little attention lately to what I post, since I had the feeling that my comments were being filtered or shadow banned (it happened already with another account I had). And yes, from my experience there is and was a heavy antirussian censorship on HN: you basically only want to hear yourselves.
Regarding cyberwarfare, I do think that most of it is done by the west (Russia in the past repeatedly asked for agreements regarding these ussues, and was repeatedly refused). And yes, I think also that the attacks by supposed "Anonymous" on Russia had their origin in Pentagon, NSA, or similar.
Regarding my psychological profile, let me see what happens to you if all of a sudden the social networks will permit hate speech against americans as they do against russians (and de facto it is permitted now everywhere).
And I am even not fron Russia, just of Russian descent.
Not really. Generally a wide variety of cars will have a widely varying acceleration numbers (3x or more), but a pretty narrow (less than 1/3rd) spectrum of stopping distances. Physics it's just the friction coefficient of the tires, not car weight/tire diameter/tire width that matter. Sure real world considerations (like roads that aren't perfectly flat) do intrude a bit, but not much.

Generally stopping distances (for modern vehicles) are related more to tire choice than anything else. Sure a stiff suspension helps minimize weight transfer and you lose less when a single tire hits a bump, but it's a small factor.

Acceleration numbers can easily be a 3x difference, The slowest car in the USA is the Nissan Kicks has a 60-0 distance of less than 120 feet, even with crude drum brakes. A corvette with the special z51 performance package has a stopping distance of 108.4 feet.

Sure if you stop 10 times from 60-0 without cool down, brake design and cooling make a big difference, but for normal road use (not racing on a track) it's not particularly relevant.

I love all these techniques where you can find static info about a program by 'running' it at compile time.

Normally you run a program at runtime (obviously) at which point you have the full environment and inputs, so you can run the program fully.

However... you can also kind of "run" a program at compile time. You can do this using some known and some unknown values in the source code, so you can "partially" run it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_evaluation

Or you can use abstract/pretend values instead of real values, so you can "abstractly" interpret it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_interpretation

Running at compile time lets you learn things about the program at compile time, allowing advanced optimisations and error checking.

You might realise that some code can never execute, so you can remove it (as in the project above). Or you can learn that some code is incorrect and give an error at compile time...
Since we're discussing grammer, when you say "literally", you mean figuratively?

While 1280 files isn’t exactly small, it’s not really big either. Big as in where incremental builds really show their shine.

This might be approaching niche but I’ve seen a few mega-projects with 100 times more than that (also mostly due to vendored deps). You really don’t want to read 10G from disk for every incremental build. The actual sha computation isn’t the bottleneck, disk is. Ninja on the other hand, using mtime, handles this without a sweat.

The best solution would probably be to integrate the change detection with git, it is already content addressable and has lots of other smart things built in to make it fast.

Driver assistance to not get into an accident is more likely to save lives instead of taking them. I’m not sure why the author thinks that cars with a linear acceleration will kill more people considering driving is the most dangerous method of transportation. The bigger problem of driver assistance making people careless is when it’s advertised to do more than it should be doing . The biggest problem right now about driver assistance is how certain companies market it as better than it really is.

I think if the US wants to be a global hegemon without having a bankrupt/hypocritical liberal ideology, a good way to start would be with locking up Bush, Cheney, and the rest of the neocons responsible for the Iraq War for a life sentence. Obama, Clinton and the rest of the administration officials responsible for Libya, Syria, and the drone assassination program.

We don't even need to go that far back to prosecute all living presidents (even though in a just world, we would), but this would be a good start. Anything less means that US participation in international institutions like ICJ is just a farce (like how Saudi Arabia has a seat on the UN HRC)
No, because I am not the one responsible for those deaths. I am absolutely responsible for the torture, if I perform it.

It is a travesty and a tragedy, but morally, if I did my best within the bounds of the law, what else is there? If there is no rule of law, what's the purpose of the whole thing? If torture is negotiable, why not speeding? Why not kidnapping (which might be implied in the torture)? Why not eliminating the right to a fair trial (again, maybe that's implied)?
