> People can hear me gulp

Is it weird I'd have liked to hear a clip of this? Does it sound like the "gulp" noise from a cartoon? Or just like a regular old swallow? I have so many questions...
> Atlassian’s legacy Jira product is clunky and has barely evolved in a decade — it’s essentially a ticket-based system which allows developers and product managers to communicate on tasks and is no longer loved by developers

Developers "loving" any ticketing system is a bit of a stretch. To me it's more of a "least worst" preference.
How is this anything other than SCOTUS carrying out Republican/conservative doctrine that would be legislatively toxic?
does Rust have a concise manual, like docs.python.org or go.dev/pkg provide?

Edit : thanks, all! very cool
Cruise ships aren't affected by the Jones Act. They're covered by the Passenger Vessel Services Act instead (which is basically the same thing, only for passenger vessels rather than cargo vessels).
or instead of a “tyranny of he minority”, we have a functioning Republic where minorities are less oppressed than in a pure democracy.
I assume you're just talking about the filibuster. What about the other super majority votes like ratifying treaties? Also, they could use budget reconciliation to pass a few things to bypass the filibuster.

I think many Americans have been calling it a democracy for shorthand and people forget that it's an adjective for "republic".

> Coinbase Tracer allows clients, in both government and the private sector, to trace transactions through the blockchain, a distributed ledger of transactions integral to cryptocurrency use.

Because both the parent comment and I have read the article, so we both have evidence to support the claim that Coinbase is only using publicly-available information, as that's how Coinbase Tracer, the license to which was reported as sold to ICE for $29,000, works.
They may not qualify as AAA, but Hearthstone, League of Legends: Wild Rift, Kerbal Space Program, Cuphead, Gwent, Genshin Impact, ReCore, Ori 1 and 2, Hollow Knight, Fall Guys, Pillars of Eternity, Call of Duty Mobile, Subnautica, Firewatch, and Valheim are pretty big games; some indie hits but many are produced by major studios.

For one thing, I think the "powered by Unity" branding is a problem, because you only see it on games that couldn't afford to actually pay for Unity and therefore have a larger chance of being poorly polished.
But could a CS degree nudge people into a direction that may not be best for them by making them lose interest in what they might be better at?
> Indeed, even when forced to use SVN, I would simply check out the SVN trunk, create a Mercurial repository in that "working" directory, and then clone from their whenever I did any development (one clone per feature). I would then push back to the main Mercurial repository, and push that to the SVN server.

Once did something similar with Git, the one time I was at a place that used SVN. I didn't trust any of the git-to-SVN tools so I just did all my work in a local git repo, then copied my working directory to an SVN-controlled directory and committed maybe once or twice a day, when I had something worth preserving.

The ~week before I switched to this workflow was nerve-wracking. Not being able to make all the branches I want for any purpose at all without it showing up for anyone else, or to make shitty commit messages for my own local junk-commits before it was ready for consumption by anyone else, was awful. Having to worry that every little vcs operation might mess up someone else's stuff was the worst.

Luckily I was working on an isolated part of a larger system on my own, so this worked OK. No incoming code to worry about, so SVN was write-only from my perspective.
The question here is whether option 2 is implemented on the edge device (which in turn makes it more likely that someone can steal your identity) or goes over a government owned server (which means the government could soy on you)
I said 75 bps off what Black Scholes kicks out, gets a little weird with the thin market, and the expiration has to make sense, but in general, fuck yes?

You think BTC is going to drop like 20x in a sane options duration?

I think a lot of people would sell you that.
This is something that will definitely have a market. I actually started to work in my bed because I hated sitting in the chair. I might not revert, but from time to time I felt that anything would be better than just sit there trying to shift positions. In fact I'm sure many people go to stores to look for "comfortable chairs". As a note you might want to try selling on AdWords with "butt pain" etc. as people do search for this, and there're no ads coming on these generally.
If it helps with that, too it would sure be good to push it.
She didn't exactly have a stellar reputation when she was defense minister. I don't think many people think that her performance in that office made her a candidate for other high offices.
Regardless, you can't ignore the far reaching affects of Trump as president and January 6th. Was it just a "phase"? Perhaps. But any scenario I can think of leads to more of this boneheaded nonsense. You can't simply say 'bah people disagreeing is not the end of democracy' and be done with it. The statistics are there; the US is far more polarized and contentious than it ever was before.
We clearly disagree and that's ok - but the example of people being generally bad at abstract mathematics, but good at playing with machines points towards making something more accessible and usable, not less.

It's why haskell is hard for people.

In a lot of ways stuff in Urbit (while unfamiliar) is more usable than the older stuff, but it is different.

It's hard to put yourself back in the mindset of someone new to computers and all the jargon and complexity you get inundated with. I'd argue what you see as intentional obfuscation is just something new/unfamiliar.

I also suspect your dislike for his politics is making it hard to separate the tech from the person. I don't agree with the politics either, I don't agree with Peter Thiel's politics or Palmer Luckey's politics, but I can recognize the value of the companies and tech they help build independently of that. Similar arguments were made going all the way back to early computing and the web (protests against computing because it was used by defense agencies). IMO it's not a good framing for evaluating a technology.
Their software also gets worse with every update.
Yes. The internet is broken, and a lot of these companies are based on selling "solutions" to these artificial problems.

Another example is Cloudflare. If the internet was designed properly, you wouldn't have DDoS attacks in the first place. There would be no one to sell DDoS protection to, no one to rent out botnets to.

You wouldn't even need most web/file "hosting" in the traditional sense if you could just share static files with bittorrent/IPFS.
I’m surprised by how and why people believe company statements claiming that there won’t be layoffs. Nothing can be a matter of belief in business. The company can either commit to a penalty in case there are layoffs or the statement effectively doesn’t exist.
this is excellent news and I hope they will do it right (reliable technologies, secure, privacy-minded etc.). I need to deal with public administration in 3 EU countries and managing 3 different byzantine digital IDs is a pain in the ...

Of course many people here will scream at "government control" and "dictatorship", while happily sharing all their lives with unaccountable US corporations.
District heating can be highly effective. Common in Soviet-bloc areas, near power stations to take advantage of waste heat, and on university campuses. Downtown Toronto even has district cooling by pumping cold water from the depths of Lake Ontario and using it to cool office buildings

I'm particularly interested in thermal storage solutions since we already have the technology, it can be a lot cheaper than batteries, and use of fossil fuels for direct heating is a huge opportunity for electrification. Thermal storage can be built right now to absorb excess solar generation in cold temperatures and allow coasting through cloudy or other low generation days. I would love to dedicate some otherwise useless space in my basement to thermal storage, pumping heat in when electricity is cheap and slowly releasing it through my house to avoid using energy during peak/expensive periods.
> one of the only aspects of blockchain that has appeal for me -- the full transparency of the system, such that you can see every exchange of BTC on the network.

Which is interesting for many applications but kind of kills BTC as something that could be an everyday currency.

I'm already uncomfortable with the amount of data my bank has about me. No matter what scheme has been used to obfuscate it, I'm not comfortable with that data being held by anyone with a hard drive and internet connection.
That analogy is super wrong. An antibiotic in the analogy would be renewables AND massive CO2 capture. Which is not even on the table right now. We only have a HALF solution to the problem.
Blockfi was paying around 8% in stable coins, if I remember correctly. I think their plan was to invest the money and make more than 8% and pocket the difference. That's pretty hard to do in a down market.

Or they were a ponzi scheme all along.
The "Concepts" section is a good intro: https://docs.temporal.io/temporal
Will WW3 be won by ships anyway?
I have invested in a fund that invested in blockfi in 2019, and they came back to ask for a follow-on a couple weeks ago, probably to bail out their last two funding rounds.
it does imply that the value doesn't stick - in fact that's exactly what I'm saying. there is no value beyond the expectation that another greater fool will buy it from you in future.
1) sounds pretty reasonable and standard to me, though a backdoor is usually necessary for PRs that are just to fix a build-blocking issue due a bad merge e.g.
Agree 2) is stupid, why would you need a ticket for a passing build? And unless you have a super stable CI system a decent % of failures are transitory and don't need tracking - but if your master branch fails to build on retry an auto created blocker ticket makes sense.

If I'm being completely honest, the brevity of the Agile Manifesto is the root cause of cargo cult agile. By not resting on a solid theoretical or practical base, the result is practitioners who implement agile by asthetics. People who do agile without understanding its goals or which problems it attempts to solve create incoherent development systems that look like agile on the surface but introduce flaws that undermine the agile project. Surely, this should sound familiar.

> Inflation in the US has been 2% but only because it was in a position of strength with the world accepting USD as the global reserve.

Inflation has also been <2% for decades in the Euro area, Switzerland, and other jurisdictions.

> most in the US live paycheck to paycheck and are hurt by inflation.

If you live pay check to pay check, you don't care about inflation. You care about real wages.
> Would you restore to a decades old previous commit on a system that had been running just fine in production that entire time?

So you believe the Supreme Court should not have ruled anti-racemixing laws unconstitutional, because they had been considered valid for 99 years since the passing of the 14th Amendment (which the Court used to justify its decision), whose authors were alive during much of that time, and hadn't mentioned that they've been made unconstitutional by its passing?

Or is it that if the court moves in one direction, that's okay and progress and living constitution. But if it moves back, that's hyper-reactionary and they should just maintain the status quo? In other words, you want a ratchet that only moves in the direction you like, even if it means ignoring the law in favor of the status quo (but only in cases where you like the status quo)?
Sat-sat links only save them some landline bandwidth cost, allow them to serve airliners over oceans and deserted areas, and enable lower trans-continental latency for select super-high-paying customers (i.e. hedge funds and maybe military). They do not improve bandwidth overall.
> Is this also considered an L2 chain, or not?

I can't say for sure without actually seeing the tech, but if a company promises to scale cryptocurrency transactions then they're probably doing it on an L2 chain. The problems with this are obvious: trusting a single party to handle all of your transactions and not abuse that insider info is crazy. These people are going to use their power over the chain to eke out every cent they can, otherwise it doesn't make financial sense to operate in the first place. It looks attractive from a VC standpoint, but that's because it's a deliberate honeypot.
> This is not the US. This is a privately held corporation

Just like all other ISPs. As well as tech companies.

What's your point? That Starlink is bad because it isn't a government-owned entity? Or are you opposed to the idea that a non-government entity can provide a strategic advantage/soft power to the US government?

Asking because neither of those two points seem to be able to withstand much scrutiny.
If shipbuilding isn't even needed, the entire basis for the Jones Act existing is moot.
Gitea and Gogs weren't originally meant to be replacements for Github. They were meant for self-hosted internal repositories. That's why they are still on Github, even though hosts like Codeberg use them for public hosting these days.
That all of those systems are extremely centralized? i don't get your point on this one as it seems to reaffirm my comment.
That’s ridiculous. If shipping prices are higher, production/distribution HAS to be more expensive. It’s not an option.

If transportation costs decrease, a business has an option to lower prices accordingly. If they pocket the difference, a competitor can sell for cheaper.

Your argument implies that transportation costs do not impact consumer price…think about that for a second.
The other thing that's interesting is if you ignore private payments to healthcare entirely, the US still spends more per capita from the public purse on healthcare than the UK does. So the US pays a ton of public money and yet most of the population still gets nothing unless they pay even more.
And Thoreau was only a few miles from a town and had his food brought in.

Man has relied on a society since we had tails.
This list is emblematic of optimizing for a metric without considering the reason why we are optimizing for said metric in the first place.

The reason why it is good to have a competitive labor force is so that wages and quality of life can go up.

1,4, and 5 are in opposition to the underlying goal we want to achieve by having a competitive labor force. These propositions are trying to mitigate human suffering by... increasing human suffering? There is zero consistency here.

Just looking at #5, this is essentially a de facto ban on retirement, but it also doesn't make sense in practice because companies are already discriminating against older workers. I suppose you could argue that a shorter period of retirement would lead to decreased saving, and increased consumer spending, but I don't think the major problems with the US are currently caused by a lack of consumption.
U.S. consumer spending, underlying inflation slow in May
I find Rust much easier to hold in my head as well. It’s reduced the need for mid-session, “just-in-case” compilations to the point that building sometimes feels like a formality.
I asked Yoho to repeal it at a town hall. He said that he would get back to me. He did not get back with me. His initial support for it was to avoid harm to Florida’s ship builders. My follow up was why should we support an underperforming industry?
The process was hijacked long before 2016. See "Borking".
I can understand Rust when I'm writing my own code. But when it comes to understanding other people's code, it's essentially gibberish.

A lot of library devs seem to have read "strong type system" and taken it as a challenge, meaning that half of their code is actually declarative to the compiler rather than readable in the source file. As a native Java dev this is very annoying.
Your landing page says there are studies. Where are the doi's or links to check those studies?

Would you have links about this programming style and some of these libraries?
('Sure, it can now read and write natural language with LaTeX math and do Python programming, solving many challenging problems from elite college STEM curricula autonomously, offline from large natural datasets, without any hand-engineering to teach it the specific algorithms, but you can't easily verify it, now can you? So overhyped.')
Bill Gates's books has a great account of what it will take to get us out of this mess - and I agree, it is a huge mess - and Carbon capture is likely to be a small part of the solution.
Analogy to not paying for backups or additional server capacity, is excellent.
> Is there any hope that congress can get a meaningful bill passed in the next few years

Definitely not. And it's largely thanks to one person who also happens to be from West Virginia.
I feel like people don't actually realize what the consequences of this will really be.

> “Supporters of the major questions doctrine would characterize this as taking power away from agencies and giving it to Congress, because they would say Congress is democratically accountable, and therefore should be making the major policy decisions,” says Goho. “Critics would say, ‘No, what’s happening is you’re taking power away from agencies, which have some degree of democratic accountability to the president, and you are actually granting the power to the courts, which are not democratically accountable at all.’”

This is the first step in dismantling regulatory bodies on a federal level. I have no idea how people can be supportive of the decision. It seems insane to me.

I'm the guy people at $work call to do git submodule reorganization, troubleshoot lfs or recover disasters. I'm certainly comfortable with git. It gets the job done. The same can be said of svn.

However my own projects always start with hg init. In addition to the UI being less insane it also feels consistent and nice to use.

At one point I was on a team using Darcs, which was another level of beautiful but clunky in many ways. It is why I'm rooting for the Pijul team. [1]

Any resources for how to approach acquiring clients without FANG level experience?
Analogy: if you have a photo sharing website, like Flickr, then from those photos (and the combination of different photos) Flickr can in theory derive a lot of sensitive information; does that make it somehow stupid or irresponsible to post photos to Flickr? I'd say that depends completely on how we expect Flickr to behave.

It's like visiting a physical pharmacy. In theory, somebody could be spying on the people who enter and leave the place, keeping a giant database with frequency, faces, etc. The question whether it is stupid to enter a pharmacy in person should be answered with: "No, we have laws that protect us against malevolent actors".
Wow. I had erased this from my memory, but: in a company I worked previously, every single string that had to be localised had to go into a JIRA task, after going into an internal localisation tool. Eventually they needed a separate JIRA instance with different logins because there were hundreds of new "strings" being created daily, some of those coming from user content.
It's possible for it to be faster over long distances because light travels faster in vacuum than in glass fibre and likely less hops in space vs terrestrially where transit would need to go via several carriers to reach far destinations.

That is putting aside ground stations located in areas which themselves have poor transit which is the main problem with regional variability of performance I would imagine, though could also be congestion if they are oversubscribing in those regions. i.e too much density of terminals.
That looks pretty impressive, but I am quite skeptical of the fact that this craft uses ion propulsion for any significant proton of its thrust. A reddit user [1] suggests that it uses ducted fans which I am way more inclined to believe. The very high pitched noise is typical of a high velocity propeller blowing high velocity air. Which seems wildly incompatible with those large grids where one would expect relatively low velocity air with very little noise. There are also four very suspicious tubes running along the body of the craft.

Congress could just as easily limit the powers of the EPA via vote now. This remedy still exists.

The court overstepped, again, and in an unsurprisingly partisan way. Just what our country needs from its institutions...
I've put in a hard block for all crawlers on all pages. Works for my scenario I think. Hopefully they don't lie in their user agent. Then it's going to be really bad.
>They are not, for example, legalizing marijuana, on the grounds that the FDA should not have the authority to schedule drugs

But the FDA DOES have the congressional mandate by law to schedule drugs even details regarding what those schedules are.

The difference here is the EPA does not have the mandated far the reaching authority they are enacting which would fundamentally change the entire economy.
And we dismantled that equipment and sold it to overseas shipbuilders, giving them a huge advantage.
Rust can feel VERY intimidating at first, but honestly once you get over the steep but abruptly ending learning hump, writing Rust is no harder than any other language you are familiar with. I only started writing Rust last October, but felt very comfortable within a few months and now feel fairly proficient. As in all things, YMMV
Speculation does not equal fud
So if the majority rules that the minorities should be slaves, that’s democratic?

In that case, is democracy good?
