Good question. The example message is adapted from a fast-moving innovation stream; it's an example of moving quickly and getting a lot of major work done.

In a more mature area, pace of work could often be slower and commits more granular. Until it's necessary to refactor/ reengineer things -- then commits are often larger again.

That's been my experience anyway, YMMV.
It also creates a strange dynamic between you and others. If I 100% of the time will fill up a car I borrow when I return it, then what happens when someone borrows mine and returns it with the tank 20% lower than when I gave it to them? Get upset? Quietly pity them with some sanctimonious "they know not what they do" feeling?

If you feel it is important to behave in a certain manner it is hard not to judge others by the same standards. Can you hold yourself to an extremely high level of courtesy without judging others?
I can't address your feelings since that's something you're generating internally. What is clear to me is you're not willing (or more likely in my opinion, able) to provide any data or evidence for your claim.
> In other words, if Rust used UTF-16 internally it would behave exactly the same as you're describing.

This is a good point. I suppose the real problem here isn't UTF-16. Its that all these languages and systems assumed unicode would never grow past 65536 characters. They weren't designed to use UTF16. They were designed to use UCS2. It was only after unicode grew past UCS2's limit that they added awful hacks to their systems in order to (badly) support UTF16. The problems I'm complaining about aren't UTF16's fault. They're problems that arise as a result of the hacks these languages added in order to support surrogate pairs.

You could build a string type in rust today which used UTF16 strings internally. It would work fine, and be just as safe as the UTF8 strings in the standard library. I just really don't see the point. The verdict is in. UTF8 has won the war to be the world's interoperable format for unicode text. UTF8 is usually smaller than UTF16 (except apparently in some parts of Asia). And it doesn't need byte-order-marks or any of that guff. Its a relief that this point is basically settled.

I hope that a future generation of programmers can grow up without needing to understand UCS2, UTF-16, byte-order-marks, surrogate pairs or any of this junk.
... well played.

Thanks for the explanation.

Now for my next question: Out of all the other posts out there right now, how on Earth did my little inquiry catch your eyes? ;-)
Were you the hiring manager that had a problem with my @cocaine.ninja or @cock.li email address?
Are panels cheaper than the servo motor & Arduino used in this tool? Not to mention that at mass produced scales chip costs are usually 1/5 the price of an Arduino. What if every panel used these tools, we could increase the amount of power we gather from solar.
In case you decide to upload a billing statement on Amazon, do not send it as a text PDF, but export the document to an image and convert it to PDF. Their systems appear to have trouble parsing text in a PDF and you may receive an automated rejection, while images are processed without issues.

I've had the same issue with my account and I have found this solution on the web after several automated rejections and failed attempts to contact Amazon.
This really feels like far better fitting problem for control theory... but I guess it's not cool enough like ML.

> He picks an arbitrary design constraint, in this case correctness, and argues that any language that does not provide 100% correctness is bad

I'm sorry, WHAT?
This is not about correctness (and IMHO if you have something that makes this tradeoff you should not use it anyway), it's about pretending that correctness does not matter and that unexpected bad behavior is okay... cause you know 80/20.

IMHO Go has its use cases but it's definitely not a panacea. I don't mind people pragmatically picking it and using it. I am bothered by the zealots that think this is the best thing since sliced break (spoiler alert: it's not). Its authors and the community also seem to have an elitist / better than you default attitude when being humble and open would actually serve them better (package management and generics come into mind - what disasters)

> Your last check should go to the funeral home and it should bounce

Not GP, but this line in particular is dangerous -- that funeral home will do everything they can to harass whoever they can to get their money. Is that how you want to be remembered by your next of kin? Speaking from experience (homicide of a college student, so no blame for not paying), homes will charge tens of thousands just to release the body.
That doesn't make sense to me. Zip was designed so it could be written to a non-seekable stream, meaning the Central Directory structure that points to all of the file records is at the end of the archive. Its location is found at the very end of the archive in the End Of Central Directory record. Problem is that it's a pointer to the offset of the Central Directory relative to the beginning of the archive, and so are the pointers to the file records in the directory.

So, if you just append a ZIP file to another file, it will screw up all the internal pointers in the ZIP file. If you overlay a file on the beginning of the ZIP, most of it should be recoverable, though.

Another clever hack is that you can put a batch file in the beginning of the ZIP with the compression level set to "none", rename it to .CMD or .BAT, and run it like a batch file. If said batch file locates and unzips itself, you've got a self-extracting archive.
If you only have a limited number of dependencies and whose maintainers have a good culture of documenting their changes, then there’s the middle ground of checking the release notes/changelogs and only updating for relevant security fixes, and for other updates at your own discretion.
Yes. A 400w watt panel is 250$. When you account for labor and cost of all. The parts for a moving panel that can withstand high wind speeds…Placing more fixed panels is cheaper.
When i first found 12 factor i was really impressed, it was/is a collection of guidelines that suit their defined purpose really well, easy to read and implement.

I always feel like there should be more parts of software/web dev with guidelines like this. An easily digestible format that is easy to discuss with colleagues

other examples i can think.
- https://refactoring.guru/ - not exactly a list of guidelines but a nice digestible collection of common patterns, pro's cons and when to/not use them
- to a lesser degree, agile manifesto. a nice list of guidelines, but not as implementable (mainly because it is more related to people/management)

but saying that i am not sure exactly what parts of the field i need this for. I didn't know i needed this for building/deploying web apps before i saw 12 factor.

maybe application folder structures, guidelines to mitigate/remove software rot?
Yeah and I don't mean to gloss over these problems. Like, how are you supposed to realistically use UTF-16 in JS? Super clumsily apparently.

IDK, again probably you can goof using UTF-8, but it does seem harder, like writing a bad byte or whatever. It would be better if string libraries actually worked though, maybe in 2023.
Taxing people for doing good things disincentivizes people from doing good things. Taxes shouldn't be a punishment for being successful. Georgists think real estate should be taxes based off the unimproved value of the land, what the owners do with the land is up to them, but if they don't use it well their taxes will put them underwater and someone else will make better use of it.
This is far from the first time I see this discussion. If anything, it makes me even more heavily dislike the confusion created by using the word "open", which already carries a definition, to describe this concept that's actually more than "open". Free or libre software at least means what it says.
Not only can you do X you can do it using rather simple math, the links are in my post above this one.
Takes a bit of squinting, but... I see it's 2011-2015. I wonder if they've tried using a digit-recognizing NN of some sort to automate finding digit-like coordinates? A MNIST NN wouldn't work, binarized inputs, but there's Color MNIST and street signs and many other kinds of number-related CV nets.
Seems like you are making a circular argument.

First you claim blockchain can help with "hosed and portable". Then you claim hosted can help you manage on-chain identity and make it transferable.

While your first argument was plain wrong, your second argument is true, but unrelated to a blockchain: ANY kind of identity can be "hosted and portable": see email.

I'm still using a 2006ish ThinkPad with a CoreDuo in it and only 2Gb of RAM nearly daily, there is still a lot of computing power out there in some of these oldies if one is willing to try.
Yes, although in that case it wasn’t a big mechanical toggle, just a software setting. And the bridge crew were not trained in how to use it safely, or to check if the controls they were using were actually operable.
If they don’t ban sugar you know the list is political :)
It is worth pursuing solutions like Moltex though because eventually we need to find a replacement for the gas power plants which will be backing up wind and solar.

Pumped hydro, cryogenic storage, thermal storage, batteries, green hydrogen etc may tackle a lot of that but we simply don’t know what solution will end of working best.

Wind and solar has to be primary focus for the next 10-15 years but once we reach 60-70% of the grid being renewable you cannot really go much further. Solutions which can deliver power on demand will be crucial. If MSR guys can get stuff going within 10 years then they may be part of the solution.
> Purchase the most recent tourist guidebook to your home town or region. You’ll learn a lot by playing the tourist once a year.

This is a great idea, though I try and keep the same principle in mind. I grew up in a very popular tourist area and never visited anything of interest, so I started consciously enjoying where I live and going out of my way to discover new things as if I were a tourist.

> No one is as impressed with your possessions as you are.

Does anyone else get a kick out of "hiding" your wealth? Obviously every Dave Ramsey enthusiast, but I guess I sort of fit in there as well. I wear the cheapest Casio G-shock (love that thing) and drive a 10 year old economy car. I allow myself many luxuries but almost none that communicate wealth to random onlookers.

> If you repeated what you did today 365 more times will you be where you want to be next year?

Oh, that's fun. I've been adding a bit of stoicism into my life. Reminders that I might die today etc. I think I'll throw this one in the mix and see if it alters my behavior.
I've been using this with the kids for awhile. It is fun. They've made a few small changes. We added an aircraft that can attack ships and subs and spot subs underwater. We gave up on changing the artwork for this new unit.
My kids would immediately use this against each other.

He should take it to a mechanic and have it inspected, if anything is off he then asks him to pay to get it fixed. If he doesn’t pay, then you sue. You don’t have to jump to suing people right away, god damn.
Sometimes I'm less concerned about the total outcome as I am that the rules claimed are the rules observed. To use a relationship example I don't get mad so much because you cheated on me so much as because you lied about exclusivity.

I don't get mad that I pay taxes, but that I also don't see societal improvement happening proportional to what I pay... (and that there always seems to be none left in the communal basket when I have a bad day...)

See?
The tragic thing about that is all they had to do was simply let go of the controls completely and the plane would've been fine. The transcript of that flight still gives me chills: https://tailstrike.com/database/01-june-2009-air-france-447/
You can find most iconic xkcd comics easily with Google. This one shows up with "xkcd new things" or "xkcd first time".
What if A didn't hear B's response, and was reiterating their first instruction? B wouldn't respond because they think A is already at step 3 of the handshake, whereas A thinks they are at step 1. A thinks A has control of the plane, whereas B thinks B has control of the plane.

I don't have any links handy, but I bought a copy of Parallels, set up Ubuntu, and installed docker inside normally. On my host machine, I use the docker client (only the client, no engine) with DOCKER_HOST set to the VM's hostname. VSCode's Remote Container extension is capable of being set up this way, too, so I can attach it to a running container in the VM. It's definitely more work to set up than using Docker Desktop, but I found the performance improvement to be worth it.
"Who pays" was relevant when the claim was that banks holding mortgages would pay.

Let's review: "if the bank owns the land as in a mortgage, they are the ones paying the tax, not the people taking out the mortgages."

You don't understand mortgages in a way that is essential to your argument. Banks holding mortgages don't own the property. At most, they own the right to grab the property if they're not paid, which is a very different thing.
Ships are not that complex to solve. You could use a combination of batteries, green hydrogen and/or synthetic fuels.

Ships with reactors will not work. That will turn into a paperwork nightmare in every harbor it enters.

I work on emergency software and we get the opportunity as developers to do “ride alongs” with firefighters and police officers. They’re pretty open with their feelings about the software. Riding along with then as they do their jobs while using software you wrote gives you a different perspective of the criticality of it.

You appear to be arguing that if you spend income in a productive way then the income was productive income.

That's simply incorrect, it's not how economics works. For example, if I stole $2000 from you and used it to fix houses/invest it would not magically become productive income.

The comment above you is pointing out that excess income a landlord makes because people are willing to pay a premium to lease a scarce or rare good they own doesn't contribute to the rest of the economy in the same way selling a hotdog does. Ergo, unproductive income.

I dunno about you, but I got better things to do with my time than sue people for silly reasons. What the guy did is not right, but unless there was any damage it would be a waste of everyone’s time.

Drop it off at a mechanic and have them inspect it, if all looks good, move on with your life. Otherwise, ask them to pay, if they refuse, then sue.

The Hidden Brilliance of Stealth Wealth - How Money Works

My point is that parking lots can easily be the best use.
The site is really vague. I'd be interested to know what kind of fungus is being used and how economical they are to grow.

e.g. The site claims that production uses "98% lest energy than expanded polystyrene" and is produced from waste. Does this include the cost of growing the fungus? The language is ambiguous.

Mushrooms are one of the less energy and water intensive edible crops that can be grown. If you wanted to make an environmentally friendly bio-material, fungus is a great choice versus corn or other vegetables.

However, transporting waste to fungus farms, sorting the waste, growing the fungus, etc. are not costs that should be neglected when trying to compare the environmental impact of this material to styrofoam and other styrofoam alternatives.
Is this a prescription for the rest of us? What should happen when I encounter you, perhaps at an inconvenient time? Is the answer, “don’t know them, can’t be bothered, couldn’t care less?”
Not from below. From above. IMINT countermeasure, to make countries with imaging satellites take longer to notice you flying silent over water into their airspace (presuming you've already got MASINT stealth covered, and are moving onto higher-hanging fruit.) Gives aircraft the same long-distance stealth advantage a sub has: they don't see you coming until you're there.

(Admittedly, I was being a bit silly with the missile use-case.)

"Encourage densification" is kind of bloodless, abstract language.

How does this mechanism work in concrete terms? My understanding is that Georgism advocates raising taxes on people with property in desirable locations. They decide they can't afford the taxes, so they sell to a developer, who tears down the house and builds a bigger building.

Another name for this process is "gentrification."

The difference is that with the way gentrification works currently, the developer pays the previous property owner lots of money, which isn't so bad. With Georgism, the previous property owner doesn't get anything, because the property tax is so high that the land isn't worth anything. It's similar to being a tenant in a rapidly gentrifying area where rents go up but there's no upside for you.

I guess if you're pro-density and don't own property, that might seem appealing, but this mechanism seems likely to be very unappealing to home owners.

Why use "working class" to mean "blue collar jobs"? Working class is the class of all the people that work for money, and for whom the money earned from said work constitutes all or a large part of their overall wealth. I'm one such person. The vast majority of the people in the US are like that. There are very few people for whom work is optional. All the others are the "working class".
How is this different from any other automobile repair servicer?

I wonder if it's not in politics / war books too. Tap into others pride and principles to ensure their motivation for your goals. Internet "truth" is a great example, but I've seen this at work too, if you spin your question in a way to tickle others need for validation or superiority, all of a sudden you have a very strong engagement.. while on average people will refuse to help you. I don't like manipulating people, but society can be a never-ending source of absurdly high friction that any trick to avoid wasted energy is a strong survival skill to me.
Fascinating. Are you comfortable sharing anything further about the condition? Any particular blood thinner?
Intriguing. I was looking at the user manual just now, and it seems like a USB-MIDI interface would do the trick. I've seen those things sold for $20 or $30 on Amazon. Might be a fun weekend activity to try.
responding to sibling, in my experience it actually goes “i have controls, you have controls, i have controls”. always ending on someone saying “i have controls.” so if someone doesn’t hear a call or response, it ends with either two people on the controls (not a disaster), or the person relinquishing controls repeating his line.
