You say BitBucket and Gitlab are alternatives, but at the same time you can not fathom the idea of migrating away from GitHub. So it's safe to say that GitHub has a de facto control of the market, much like Windows controlled the desktop market until early 2000's.
Copilot works well for human readable languages languages like python; JavaScript(web framework)

If I start coding in Haskell, C and Objective-c to hack my iPhone. Guess what. Copilot stops helping or just recommends the same arbitrary genetic ideas I can google myself.

For python and JavaScript? It seems to do really well at predicting the next function and ideas.
it works really well if you site it with a nuclear plant....
It's only lexically scoped though, so you don't have much use of them in thread pools and, importantly, async runtimes.

Pre-1.0, we used to have JoinHandle<'a> which let you use the borrow checker to its full potential with multiple threads. This is a big practical hurdle today, where mutices are required even for simple cases which don't suffer data races in practice.
I still don’t get it after reading this tweet. What would be more informative to me - a table for M1 and a system with the same RAM size but DIMMs which would contain: 1. random access latency 2. linear access bandwidth 3. price
As long as the price tag on water does not reflect its actual cost on environment and society, they couldn't care less.

Similar to carbon emissions and any other pollution. Once you put an accurate price tag on it, simultaneously avoiding the corruption that usually comes with certificates and that kind of thing, then you'll get somewhere.
The worst term in the software industry is "bug tracker", really you should call it an "issue tracker".

You should use some tool like GitHub Issues, JIRA, or one of many others to break down all of your work items. This fits into practices like

* Kanban: there are a limited number of outstanding tasks you can handle at once, if you are allowed to have N items running at once (my current employer has N=1!) you can't start more than N items and have to finish one before you start one. I've seen the same practice used at cafes, where they don't take a new order unless they have space in their queue.

* Estimation: Once you have tasks enumerated you can estimate the tasks and then add the estimates up to get an estimate for your project

* QA: you can have another person check each feature you work on as you complete it if you have your features all enumerated.
when you look across equities as an asset class in whole, it's clear that the valuation is way above it's intrinsic value. i mean s&p500 has 1.3% dividend, meaning it'll pay back your money in 70 year or so.

at this point its just cash looking for a place to go and it has to go somewhere.

Also, I want to note by being the distant uncle you are often hurting yourself for advancement.

If you don't mind trafficking one personal anecdote for another, I've heard this since I entered the corporate workforce at 19 (got a wee bit lucky there), and in my mid-to-late 30's, I've been demonstrably more protective and distant of the boundaries between work and self

the result in the last six years has been making more money and adding the word "Principal" to my job title.

These are mere anecdotes, I think we've found common ground admitting that much, but I don't think I buy into many of the notions that continue getting harped on about what will and wont "hurt" my career advancement anymore; as most of them have just been means of corralling behavior and only brought me burnout and stress.

Yes. The reason why currently you need to wrap Mutexes in Arcs is not thread-safety per se. Without std::thread::scope the Rust compiler doesn't know if the spawned threads won't outlive the Mutex (which is borrowed by the closures). So it's more about memory-safety than thread-safety in this case. std::thread::scope guarantees that the threads will be joined in the std::thread::scope, thus providing enough information to the compiler (via lifetime annotations) for it to decide that they won't outlive the Mutex, so borrowing is safe in this case. That sorted, Mutex always had Sync and Send, so everything is in place to use it from multiple threads.
Ukraine already had shit load of firearm from the Soviet Union. Enough to fill the black market even without help from the US. What the US is sending now is more advanced and heavy, most likely not going to end up in the black market. IN some countries drug cartels probably can buy some of the heavy stuff directly from the manufacturer.

The first link you mentioned is about a failed operation, rather than Obama arming gangsters. Is it bad, that it failed, yes. But it's not like they were given to them to arm them. There is a lot of context missing there.
Having a spread between cost of borrowing and net return is how banks make money. Pay deposits X% while earning Y% on said deposits, where Y > X. Another way to make money is to buy collateral earning Y% and apply a structure on top of it and sell the product as yielding X% and pocket the difference, where Y > X. All structured products (e.g. MBS, CLOs, ABS, CDOs, etc) essentially work like this.

They wouldn't necessarily need to borrow money to do that. The naive play was using something like TERRA to earn 20% and pass through 8% to the depositors. But the spread amount itself should have raised eyebrows. If someone is paying you 20%, you're taking some kind of risk. And the worst kind of risk is risk you don't understand
It might be objectively better to pay someone to not grow alfalfa for export to the middle east then it is to waste water on growing it. In the end, this is likely cheaper than building desalination infrastructure to make up for the wasted water so you save money. Don't think this is a good long term plan though.
While I generally agree that we should minimize harm when in doubt, I don't think your analogy holds up.

First, Pascal's wager is flawed in that it assumes there are two known outcomes, when the outcomes are unknown in both quality and quantity. For example, there might be a god that punishes belief with infinite negative reward.

Second, killing the chicken humanely isn't without cost. Consider how cheap it is to toss the male chicks straight into the meat grinder at the hatchery facilities. As an aside, I'm surprised you went with "killing humanely" as opposed to not killing in the first place. I'm not sure how that fits into your model of ethics.

Third, I disagree that there is no downside to treating "non-sentient" AI well. There's yet no well-defined boundary for sentience, so have fun treating every grain of sand "well" under some yet-to-be-specified definition of "well". It's not even clear that shutting down an AI is unethical, especially if it feels no pain and can be started up again, or cloned, or stuck in a simulation...

Finally, designing an intelligence at all seems fraught with ethical dilemmas (see designer babies), but engineering a reward (presumably, a priori, against the AI's will) into the termination routine seems particularly twisted to me.
For back-of-the-envelope calculations, you could model a lake as an inverted pyramid. Each foot of higher surface results in more surface area, both north-south and east-west. So the surface area of the lake is quadratic in elevation above the lowest point, and the volume is cubic in elevation above the lowest point.

That's just back of the envelope. I'm sure there are geographical studies of Lake Mead that have accurate numbers.

I feel like a lot of people admit that regulations and costs push industries overseas. These people are okay with the outcome. It's completely reasonable to eschew dirty or dangerous industries.

The entire western model of business for the past 500 years has involved shipping the crap work to other places around the world and figuring out how to extract the profits from it.

> Average household consumes 0.5-1.0 acre-feet of water per year.

Out of curiosity, I did the math for grass lawns.
Kentucky Bluegrass requires 1inch/week, meaning a 1000sqft lawn will required around 0.09 acre-feet/year.

My knee-jerk reaction was to ban lawns, but that seems misguided, assuming my math is correct.
I've seen people find Rust difficult for three reasons:

* &mut is an "infectious leaky abstraction". It places restrictions on the caller, specifically that nobody can have a reference to that data. This disqualifies many useful patterns such as backreferences, observers, dependency references, graphs, delegates, and certain kinds of RAII.

* Rust tends to lean very heavily on the type system to surface as much detail as possible into e.g. function signatures, but can conflict when the signature is set in stone, such as when implementing a trait or exposing a public function. It also does this with non-type-system denizens, such as async/await.

* A reluctance to fall back to Rc and RefCell. Programs often have inherent shared mutability, and the alternatives are often more complex.

These restrictions make the borrow checker incompatible with code we'd naturally write in any other language. Luckily, with enough practice, it can "click" and one can get used to the architectures that are compatible with its restrictions.

The tradeoff isn't ideal for some use cases. For others, it can be a great fit.
Yes, it was a learning experience.
My main take after practising Agile and Scrum for a few years is that there is more in Agile than Scrum. For Scrum to work you need to enrich it with other ideas.

There are less than 20 authors in the manifesto, go check what they were up to. Next to the management framework, there is a lot of engeneering techniques and ideas. A sibling comment talked about XP whose technics work well along scrum, but there is also clean code, refactoring, crystal methods, agile as a cooperative game, liberating structures, devops (no, not the job offer),...

They all had blogs (archive. org is your friend for some of them), wrote books and gave talks. I like to get lost on http://wiki.c2.com/ where I found lots of insight about how to make the thing work.
So yeah, I think it work pretty well when you learn how to use it.

Hathora's auth story is basically bring your own JWT token. So you can implement your own custom auth as long as you end up with a JWT signed using your APP_SECRET in the end.

Websockets do actually support binary packets not just strings. But yes you lose control over the server side receiver part of the connection (we think most developers will be ok with this)

Hathora Cloud will be able to run anything that can be packaged into a Docker container and implement the Hathora Protocol (yet to be formally documented)
The analogy here would be Congress granting the DOJ the authority to create drug diversion programs, a new drug hitting the scene that requires a response not explicitly called out in the initial legislation (e.g. distribution of naxolone), and the Supreme Court then declaring that response illegal because giving out naxolone just seems like too big a deal to be decided without involving Congress.
Well, we're in the tech industry. I'm sure people working service jobs, health care workers, or teachers might have different opinions.
It didn't scare new customers away is what I find surprising. That outage lasted over a week and data was lost/inaccessible..

I mean c'mon, it's so simple. One acre is just one chain by one furlong, then you multiply that 12 inches and that's an acre foot.

Ok fine, that might be too complicated, an acre is merely however much land a single man and an oxen team could plough in a single day. Just take that value in your head and multiply it by the length of a medieval king's [citation needed] foot and there you go, acre-feet.
Not sure why you wrote that. You are responding to a comment about the history of greed and speculation, which many who tout crypto also share.
The World Can’t Wean Itself Off Chinese Lithium
The problem with JIRA is that yes, everyone uses it, but most people hate it. In my experience, the only people that advocate for it are PM/PMO/TPM type people who need very specific and customizable workflows and reports. And even then, they continually run into quirks and bad UX everywhere.

This leaves them very vulnerable to another company taking their market share, as soon as they create something better that is extensible enough to get management signoff. I know a lot of companies have tried and failed here, but someone's going to eventually do it.
What kinds of feature richness are we to expect from edge runtimes? It seems like it’s just like a CDN that can execute code.

And I think that the gains in healthcare discussed are under selling the point.

One very interesting technology for semi-trusted setups in the Bitcoin space is federated Chaumian mints[0].

This provides the best of both worlds: positive user experience (especially for less technical users) and reduction of overall centralization. An implementation called MiniMint[1] is already in the works.

Why not dismantle the yacht instead
That list is a perfect example why GitHub is so problematic.

Forget Copilot. Even without that you’ve put all of those services in one centralized basket, fully controlled by a for-profit company (with proven track record of unethical behavior).

And not only that, but this is true for the vast majority of FOSS projects!
I don't even live on the US, and I remember articles predicting aquifer lose and water shortages in California since I was a child.

The point is, those articles tend to come with date targets. The people saying "they always said it and it never happened" are either stupid ones that don't care about the "by 2030" right next to the prediction, or ones that get their news from the first group.
I want to avoid spoilers... but my favourite element was the inevitability of certain individuals being made aware of each other.

At a certain scale I believe one exerts a "gravitational" influence, and this book explored that neatly
I feel there should more efficient to use solar heat into evaporating the ocean to make clouds and more rain. Anyone aware of this? I'm thinking windmills that pump water to create mist or floating black panels that absorb IR and heat water.
Except he was mocking Apple Maps for not knowing a bodega is not a grocery store, even if a user calls it that.
I don't agree. The "no politics" path taken by a few companies (Coinbase, Basecamp) is a blunt response against overexcited activists.

You know the type. The ones that distract from the core mission of a company. The ones continuously creating outrage and division, the ones doing walkouts, leaking documents and data, constantly stirring up shit and poisoning morale.

It's typically a very small minority, and these companies decided to get rid of them, and codified this as "no politics". Had these people been more reasonable and professional about political aspects of business, surely the blunt instrument of "no politics" would be unneeded.
I would say specifically - if someones role is scrum master full time he is full of dung same with agile coaches.

If someone leads retro/planning activities but his full time role is business analys/QA/dev that is how it should be - just one of team members gets a function and ideally it could be handed over periodically.
> it's the EPA that has the authority to make that designation (at least until the SCOTUS decides that only it has that authority).

And the SCOTUS has the authority to rule on whether the EPA's rulemaking is within its statutory authority or not. Which is what it did today. So why are you objecting? Both governmental entities are exercising their authority. The fact that one such exercise, the EPA's, is one you like, and the other such exercise, the Court's is one you don't like, is irrelevant, according to your own logic, just as it's irrelevant, according to your own logic, that the EPA's rule under review here defies logic, common sense, and the plain meaning of words.
gee, I should just eat 88 fewer avocados every day and use the savings to pay my rent!
The chart for college tuition increases is pretty telling when compared to the chart for consumption patterns (where the article claims that the decreasing percentage out of total spending for food and clothing was explained by the increase in the price of healthcare).

Also, none of the charts discuss child-care costs, nor travel & leisure.
It is not politically possible to build desalination plants (or much of anything else really) in California. In just May of this year[1], a private company that had spent $100 million trying to get approval to build a $1.4 billion de-sal plant in the L.A. basin. It would have served about 400,000 homes but the permit was denied by regulators. Private money would build these plants if allowed.

You mean like the good ol' days when we had non-political movies like "Dr. Strangelove" ??
This would be more appealing without the app. I have an uplift standing desk, and one of the nice things about it is how simple it is to work.
Housing is not expensive in much of the country. You're looking at a handful of heavily urbanized areas and projecting those dynamics to the rest of the U.S.
Professional sound engineers prefer to place small mics (lavaliers) on the speaker's chest. The reason is that sound comes not just from your vocal chords, but also from your chest and diaphragm. There's a reason lavs are sometimes called "lapel mics," as they sound significantly better there, as opposed to clipped to the top of a sweater or shirt collar.
Are or were? At least, the trend seems to be moving towards were more temperate.
Desalination plants have been tried in Europe for some time, and they still are problematic.

They use lots of energy. And then you need to get rid of hills of salt. Stuff that obviously can't be just put in any fertile soil or returned to the sea near the coast. A partial solution could be to use it in winter roads, but then you need to burn gas to move it to the North. At some time, you will cross the line where the water obtained is cheaper than the energy used to produce it plus collateral effects. And at this point the plant is not profitable and is just burning money to run.

So, I hate to say that, but there is no magic solution at sight, still.

This planet has a fabulous technology available for making excellent pure water. The problem is that we burn them all, each year.
This sounds crazy and slightly off topic, but the banner that says "proven by science with University of Waterloo" gives me hesitation instead of trust. Most wearable/hardware startups from Waterloo end up being VC money grabs that fail to deliver.
It's a little weird that the author decided to lead with fruits and vegetables, and leave things like, "fewer people die of heart disease and cancer" a long way down.

That said, for those scanning the comments, I suggest you RTFA, which is a pretty good overview for the length that it has to play with. The people in the comments who are Really Upset about it aren't doing a very good job of summarizing it.
Is that justification for suddenly breaking a system that was working

The fact that West Virginia v. EPA was brought up in the first place indicates that the system was not working, at least for some stakeholders.

Even if the system was working for most stakeholders does not mean it was Constitutional. The Court's job is to determine legality, but they need to wait until a case is brought before them, whether it's immediately or 10 years later. It's due process.
> 'It's not pollution if it comes out of animals' doesn't make much sense.

That's not the argument I was making. The argument I was making is that the presence of CO2 in the atmosphere is part of a natural process that all living organisms, including us humans, engage in. The presence of your piss in my drink is not.
> Seemed like a lot of storefronts were just empty.

Keep in mind that the MIT Press office != the professors at MIT. It's actually quite common for any University's press office to be clueless about the research being done at the university, and it is their job to make as big of a splash as possible.

This is much like the oft-cited issue that the reporters aren't responsible for the headlines --- that is picked by the editors to make as big of a splash as possible.

As far as "patenting a technology from the 60's", even an incremental improvement on an old idea is still patentable. The real test is whether the patent cited the prior art, and you can bet that MIT Press Office didn't read the patent application before breathlessly sending out the press release.
Or just make agriculture desalinate their own water on their own dime and let the people continue drinking the ground/river water.

It's not like you should be irrigating fields with that mineral-heavy water anyways, isn't it slowly salting the land?

If agriculture had to foot the bill for their desalination needs they would become more efficient automatically.
