If you are using a dependency manager the repo abstraction, with multiple repos, does start to align as a useful node abstraction at the dependency graph level. For instance, if you are working in JS/TS, every repo has a top-level package.json file that is very easily consumed by tooling to discover dependencies. Github has a dependency graph that's pretty comprehensive for public packages as dependended on by public repos. For instance, the repos that depend on Typescript: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/network/dependents?p...

There's often less tooling available for private repository hosts and private package feeds, but dependency management from a per-repo standpoint is if not a solved problem in practice, an easily solvable problem. (Github has some tools for private repos if you pay for them. Other systems can borrow from the same playbooks.)

(Other languages have similar dependency manifest files, most of which are similarly slurpable by easily automated tooling given the need/chance. Dependency discovery doesn't have to be a problem in multi-repository environments.)

> test how a given upstream change affects every downstream package, or coordinate half a dozen PRs for every change

Some of this is push versus pull questions. One developer needing to push a lot of changes is a lot of work for that one developer. Downstream "owners" needing to pull changes at a frequency is in some cases much tinier slices of work spread out/delegated over a larger team of people, many of whom may be closer to downstream projects to better fix and/or troubleshoot secondary impacts.

Monorepos make push easier, definitely. Sometimes pull is a better workflow. (Especially if you are using the same dependency tooling for third-party components. These days given CVEs and such you want a regular update cadence on third-party components anyway, using the same tools for first-party updates keeps more reason to keep that cadence regular. Lots of small changes over time rather than big upgrade processes all at once.)
> I never got the "emergent properties have special aesthetic and nearly spiritual significance" or "everything is just an <insert structure here>" cognitive confusion that so many mathematicians (especially formalists) seem to have.

People just like spiritual beliefs. There's a reason why a majority of human beings hold non-rational beliefs like religion or money having intrinsic value.
Between 21 and 31, what changed in your life other than your age? I find that people often confuse the effects of ageing with the side effects of ageing when judging their performance in various areas of their lives.
To be fair, they have had a whole slew of "submarine" news releases on them. That tends to be a form of "earned content" advertising.
We have a similar scheme in the UK, where you can save £4000/yr and get a 25% top-up from the government if you use the pot to buy your first home. Everything invested in this scheme is tax free: income and growth.

You're completely right, it just drives up prices further... but they're vote winning policies and using these pots makes conveyencers a nice profit.

You use ads in B2B to build leads, then you follow up with marketing/sales. Certainly you wont get a conversion with display ads, but on certain providers they can help feed into the start of your funnel.
Very few (if any) humans ever really treat all human life as equal emotionally, because that would be either debilitating or sociopathic depending on extreme. We are emotional beings, so it's incredibly hard to exclude emotion from our decisions. Perfectly rational action is in many ways more dangerous from a moral/ethical standpoint.

As a society we are currently pretending it is a terrible crime to differentiate, but it strikes me as so at odds with reality as to be a source of unsolvable friction
No I cannot fully expand on what I say. I can not predict the full extent of how you will interpret my words. You need good faith to be more valuable that a programmable object. This is why you assume the best about a person and if you overestimate then you carry the discussion forward.

This is why unquestioning criticism, judgement, is of no substance.

> When we do physics, the traditional approach has been to start from our basic sensory experience of the physical world, and of concepts like space, time and motion—and then to try to formalize our descriptions of these things, and build on these formalizations. And in its early development—for example by Euclid—mathematics took the same basic approach.

I don’t think Euclid started from “basic sensory experience”. Euclid based his mathematics on non-existent things, neither point nor line exist in this world as defined by Euclid: A point is that which has no part. A line is breadthless length.

Also, in physics “space” does not exist as a quantity, only distance exists. Space is an abstraction.
That is definitionally situational: In my anecdotal situations things happened differently than in your anecdotal situations.

Nice. I used to maintain an ACM membership (when I wasn't working for a company that provided their Digital Library access), and going through the most recent SIGs and things like Computing Surveys were a critical part of my continuing learning.

> Tobacco advertising typically focused on making smoking cigarettes seem cool and glamorous, and banning the ads may well have been a large component of why it no longer seems so

That's one hypothesis. Another is that we've known for ages that tobacco smoke causes disease[0] since[1]

> Lung cancer was once a very rare disease, so rare that doctors took special notice when confronted with a case, thinking it a once-in-a-lifetime oddity. Mechanisation and mass marketing towards the end of the 19th century popularised the cigarette habit, however, causing a global lung cancer epidemic. Cigarettes were recognised as the cause of the epidemic in the 1940s and 1950s, with the confluence of studies from epidemiology, animal experiments, cellular pathology and chemical analytics. Cigarette manufacturers disputed this evidence, as part of an orchestrated conspiracy to salvage cigarette sales. Propagandising the public proved successful, judging from secret tobacco industry measurements of the impact of denialist propaganda. As late as 1960 only one-third of all US doctors believed that the case against cigarettes had been established. The cigarette is the deadliest artefact in the history of human civilisation. Cigarettes cause about 1 lung cancer death per 3 or 4 million smoked, which explains why the scale of the epidemic is so large today. Cigarettes cause about 1.5 million deaths from lung cancer per year

and the world finally woke up to that.

Have you tried a cursory Google search? I don't know if you refer specifically to the negative effects of microplastics in lungs or microplastic exposure in general, but a search for "microplastics human effects" will provide you with weeks of reading material if you'd like to be depressed.
I think that blind bidding is a bit of a scape-goat here: the problem isn't that the bidding process is blind per se, it's the complete lack of transparency. Once a house is sold, the price that it sold for AND all bids should be made a matter of public record — accessible without having to pay a ridiculous amount of money to view.

Not to mention the ridiculous commission fees for realtors, and their well-known practice of "steering" people away from homes with lower commission or prices. A practice that is technically illegal, but not enforced.
As I get older (I’m now 58) I see a marked tendency for mental acuity to go one of two directions.

The most common is a slow hardening of one’s opinions and perceptions that I consider a form of mental decline. These people are often susceptible to propaganda and conspiracy.

But I also know people who’s curiosity expands and their thirst for knowledge grows with a deep understanding of life informed by experience. You can have wonderful conversations full of nuance that are inspiring.

You can guess which is more interesting and rewarding.

Sometime ago I read a popular article that compared artists and scientists who peak early in their careers to those who peak much, much later - building on one hard earned success after the other. I wish I could find the link because my summary here is probably missing the mark a little.
This is how Singapore addressed the housing crisis and I think it would be a great idea for Canada to follow suit. It levels the playing field between the 30 year old couple looking to start a family and massive REITs/corporations with billions in capital.
The CADET was in fact the IBM 1620, contemporaneous with the IBM 1401, but more for 'scientific' market. The '1620 uses these clever in-core tables and iteration to achieve arbitrary-precision addition/subtraction and different tables for multiplication/division; I implemented the algo in C and it worked great, certainly fast enough for the occasional arb-precision computation.

The IBM 1401 could operate on arbitrary strings of digits in hardware ; since that was my first machine, I was disappointed when I used these silly 'binary' machines. However, a typical instruction + operand fetch/store took about 100 microseconds on the '1401; yes, that is 10 kilo-instructions per second! There were many programming tricks to minimize instruction fetch e.g.'chaining' instructions, using left-over contents of the regs in the next instr, and using parts of instr as data, the most common being:

"A *-6,FOO" because "*-6" is relative address, which points to the letter 'A', which was BCD +1, etc. Equivalent to ++FOO;

The pdp-11/45 I used next took about 2.5 usec per instruction with 2 memory operands -- 400 kilo instructions per second! This "40x" speedup of the 11/45 over the IBM 1401 more than compensated for the hardware arbitrary-precision addition/subtraction! (oh, and on the '1401, the HW 'Multiply/Divide Feature' was another big group of electronic cards, if you bought that) http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/ibm-1401.html

Many (mediocre) programmers see/use git only as a tool for sharing code with collaborators. These people can be easily identified by leaving traces of meaningless commit messages.

The key is to convince these people that the git history can be very worthful if edits are commented appropriately. Rapid committing in small steps comes after.
IIRC all else being equal, larger cylinders tend to need lower compression. I don't remember why, maybe larger random fluctuations in air-fuel mixture making knocking statistically more likely with bigger cylinders?

(For airplanes vs. car engines, probably other effects are more significant, like higher head temps, poorer mixture due to carburetors, fixed ignition and whatnot.)
That's why I ruled out Florida as a place to move to: no seasons. I'm looking for milder winters, but not no winter at all. Southern Tennessee looks attractive, specifically Chattanooga.
Yes at the beginning there was some shame. Then because of the lockdowns my wife was always at home and the shame went away :D

Although she hated the fact that while I was playing I was so focused that I didn't listen to her (I also had headphones on), in the end she accepted it and would just write me a message telling me to talk to her when the match was over...

Also the decision to cut the game off completely came from me 100%, she never demanded that I should stop playing completely

No matter how much the internet gets "sanitized" or "civilized" it's embedded in my DNA to never trust any online ad. The first thing my brain does on a new page/screen is separate the real parts from the junk, and I don't even perceive the junk anymore. It's become an instinct that causes me to skip or miss sections in text books because if they get cute with the formatting it can trigger the same reflexes. If I were to break this habit completely (not that I want to) I don't think I have it in me to ever believe a product or company in an online ad is even real, let alone legitimate. That's just how I see online ads. I don't trust any ads but if it's on TV or a billboard I at least believe it's a real if scum sucking company.

Having been in a position to read resumes and cover letters, there are very few cover letters that I've read that really made me want to talk to someone, but there are very, very, very many that immediately soured me.

A well-written cover letter can help, but a form letter, copy/paste, or other low-effort letter won't help, and the latter is what I've gotten for the most part.

The Talos Principle is about as normal a puzzle game as you can get, you can ignore the story bits if you want. Just go through the levels in a numerical order pretty much. The progression might be a bit slow in the start and middle, but the puzzles themselves were fun to solve for me (definitely not contrived), and the story and ending were satisfying. Much the same as Portal/Quell games.

The Witness is part normal puzzle game and part more like Myst/Riven where you really have to dig deeper to find the answer. In a way they're about as diagetic as you can get, but some of that digging deeper can be a chore and wasn't fun for me, so I stopped playing The Witness after finding the normal ending and enjoyed playing it up to that point. I'd like to pickup the Outer Wilds though, and I like a balance of adventure/puzzles within games too. I suppose environmental puzzle games really have to click for me to enjoy them.

My kid made a presentation for his class using Google Docs, then filled in his day of birth on his new phone when setting it up, then got locked out of his account. He was 12 at the time.

Also, his class had a WhatsApp group chat in which school info was shared. This was kind of weird because it meant that all 12 year olds in the group must have cheated their dates of birth, because otherwise they could not have had a WhatsApp account

It make sense to specifically ask about the remote policy when you are meeting with the hiring team - if you are working with outside recruiters (who got paid a fee for each placement, as oppose to inside recruiters, who are salaried) they may not know the current policy or the plan for the future.

Demand for housing is not infinite, and supply of capital is not infinite. Building more units will always help. The quantity of units which are bought and then kept empty long term is tiny in relative terms.

My company does phishing email exercises, and they've added a "report phishing" button to Outlook you're supposed to hit, either for the fake messages or any real phish attempts you get, or worse, fall for.

The difficulty is that the company has outsourced many functions, meaning that there are external companies I often haven't heard of sending messages we have to interact with. Worse, one of those vendors has a very spammy-looking style and has even mis-spelled our company's name before in their mails.

>This feels like a no true scotsman.

It's not though.

Appealing to effeciency is not an appeal to purity, which is what a no-true scotsman is.

A no true scotsman in this regard would be more along the lines of redefining advertising to not include any activities that OP described, i.e. OP wasn't doing true advertising. GP is not doing that here, because GP is acknowledging that OP is doing advertising, but doing it poorly.
I don't think that's totally right. The idea is to give Canadians a leg up vs. foreign buyers (once the immediate 2 year foreign buyer ban expires, I assume). If your operating model is that foreign bidders are driving up the price and winning the marginal bid, then this is effectively a subsidy to allow Canadians to compete with the foreigners. Yes it will drive prices a bit higher and thus transfer more wealth to sellers. But the mix should be different, with more ownership ending up with Canadian purchasers than foreign ones (vs. today).

The housing market in Toronto is a hot mess at the moment. When I told my friends in US that even for renting a condo, I had to put an offer that was more than the asked monthly rent they were surprised and wouldn't believe me!

The excessive imbalance in demand Vs supply also means that the owners have > 10 offers for each house and the prospective buyers/renters are just putting blind offers in the hope that their offer is more than most of the other offers.
