Are there any other git features with this limitation? Wild to me that we're here.

Thankfully the article covers the semi-longstanding "hooks" that existing (& very high performance) tools like Watchman (which are cross platform) can use.

Great in depth read. Good stuff! From the 2.37 release[1].

I was initially angry at the decision to use tabs instead of spaces in gofmt, but the advantages of having 95% of go projects use the exact same formatting has won me over. I'll happily give up my habits and preferences for more universal consistency.
oh of course, how could I forget this :)
How to Structure Your Product Org to Optimise for Growth
Proprietary toolchains of that era are a special beast. They are probably talking about proprietary compilers and development tools, which were certified and depended in win98 environments.

Perhaps they just ran the toolchain in a win98 qemu instance and developed on a modern computer. That is what I would do and I am an embedded build system guy.
I wish this was the case, but sadly people seem to have a massive blind spot when it comes to their own government having the same powers as the totalitarian CCP. One would think the implications are obvious and striking, impossible to miss, and yet I continually have to explain to people why these systems of surveillance are terrifying and inherently damaging to free societies.
What do you expect from a drunk?
> They were caught not too long ago actually spreading environmental causes in Texas against rare earth mining. They were trying to leverage our political process to make us dependent on them.

Do you have a source for this? I did some quick searching but couldn't find anything concrete. Super curious to learn more about this case if it's true.
engages enough to dismiss your claim, at least to my satisfaction.
By theoretical, do you mean TikTok doesn't collect data that is made available to the Chinese government? In my mind, that's the practical use of an espionage tool. If not that, then what else do you mean?

There was an allegation earlier this month, with what appears to be strong evidence to support it, that engineers in China have access to data from U.S. users: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/emilybakerwhite/tiktok-...

Even if you ignore how suspicious that is, once the data is in China you have to assume it's made available to the government, since that's the official policy as far as I am aware.
One of my favorite magic tricks is one I've learnt. You have 31 cards prepared in an order determined by a linear shift register. The audience is allowed to cut the deck as often as they want (thus maintaining cyclic order) after which they draw 5 cards. Simply by asking which audience members hold red cards you can compute which cards they're holding.

I've also performed this trick by combining two decks with different patterns on the back, allowing you to 'divine' their cards without ever asking a question.

Why not though. On MacOS you can select text in bitmaps nowadays. So the tech is there to make a grep for pictures.
Depends on if you value latency for the user. Saying I try both and choose the one coming first hurts no one but the servers not being protected by a client cache. But there’s absolutely no reason to believe a client has a cache that masks requests. AFAIK there’s no standard that says clients use caches for parsimony and not exclusively latency. As a matter of fact I think this is a good idea if it ever takes time to consult the cache, and the trade off is more bandwidth consumption which we are awash in. If you care that much run a caching proxy and use that and you’ll get the same effect of the client side cache masking requests. But I would say it’s superior because it always uses the local cache first and doesn’t waste user time on the edge condition in their cache coherency. It comes from Netscape which famously convinced everyone that it’s one of the hardest problems. That leads to the final benefit, the cache doesn’t have to cohere. If it’s too expensive at that moment to cohere and query then I can use the network source. Again the only downside is the network bandwidth is more consistently user. I would be hard pressed to believe most Firefox users already are grossly bandwidth over provisioned, and the amount of a fraction of a cable line a web browser loading from the cache no one could even notice that.

Nuclear winters occur somewhat regularly in earth’s history, usually after a very large volcano erupted but also sometimes after a large asteroid strikes. Unless I’m mistaken the last such natural nuclear winter was after the Pinatubo eruption in 1991, which caused a small but significant global cooling effect of 0.5˚C between 1991 and 1993.

Volcanoes of the same scale happen around every 50 to 100 years, but larger ones with more sever global cooling effects happen every 1000 or so years. Every 50 000 years we can expect a mega-colossal super volcano. The Youngest Toba eruption over 70 kya caused a nuclear winter for over 5 years with an accompanying cooling which lasted possibly for another 1000 years.

Even though these events are natural and happen regularly, they are usually devastating for the life on earth, usually with several species going extinct as a result. There are theories that the Toba eruption almost wiped out all of the human races and created a “bottleneck” in our evolution.

So evidence suggests that a quick dimming event range from being insignificant to catastrophic for the life on earth. There is for sure a reason for caution here.
Thank you, I love this project. Tuple, too, for that matter.
By "question," I mean "question," not "detract." Questioning is never unhealthy, because questioning is looking critically (which also has no natively negative connotation).
I also worked with some excellent managers, but most were still bad.

Interesting about the retirement thing.

I think most parents know how to parent and teach better than they'd realize. Parents are so disempowered. They are shoved out of education and told they can't teach because they are not trained teachers.

They are constantly judged and told how to parent then others, so they no longer trust themselves and their instincts.

Sad about the arguments around how to parent caused by misinformation or information overload.
When I see "browser cache" I can't think of anything other than a local file storage. Maybe it confused you, but there's no deliberate misleading.
It would be the same if holding a token from a PoS system cost money. Since it doesn't, then it is definitely not the same thing.
Yes, this would be ideal (although I've rarely seen light measured like that - isn't wavelength almost always used?) If you could have a bandpass filter allowing in ~400-700nm light that would be kind of awesome - definitely a have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too moment. (of course with our luck there will be some process we need that we don't know about that requires the rest of the spectrum too)
My point is that we will have to do some sort of solar management given the fact that we are currently doing it without even putting any thought into it.

Arguably we are currently experiencing a "termination shock" given the move away from coal and other fossil fuels to clean energy. But honestly I don't even understand what "termination shock" really means. Does it matter if removing aerosols happens over the course of a decade or a century when the rise itself is the issue, not the speed of which it happens. 10 years or 100 years is too soon for any ecosystem or species.
There is one really good reason to always use tabs: accessibility.

Organization and hierarchy are not the same things. Hierarchy deals with power structures, while organization merely gives structure.

"Flat" does not mean "structureless". It means that there is no power hierarchy. Leadership does not equate to wielding power. There is such a thing as a leader who helps organize equals with out wielding power. And there's research that suggests that the sort of leaders who approach their work as organizing equals achieve better outcomes than those who approach it as commanding subordinates - with or with out hierarchies.

Many people - and you can see it in the comments here - associate flat structures with politics and with invisible power structures. And that does happen to flat structures. That also happens to hierarchies.

Here's the thing - we are not taught how to function in egalitarian organizing contexts. The vast majority of the human organizations in our lives are layed out as some sort of authoritarian power hierarchy, so we get very little practice in flat structures. Most families are an authoritarian hierarchy - parents at the top, kids at the bottom, often with layers of hierarchy based on age. Schools are authoritarian hierarchies - administrators at the top, then teachers, and then the students. The vast majority of businesses are authoritarian hierarchies.

So we never get to practice the skills or become familiar with the mindset necessary to operate in an egalitarian organization. Many of us have to unlearn a lot of bad habits picked up from authoritarian structures before we can really function well in an egalitarian structure.

Which explains so many of the comments here. It's hard to imagine something you've never really experienced. And it's not surprising that folks would have experienced attempts that have gone wrong in one way or another (just as plenty of hierarchical organizations go wrong in one way or another).

All of that said, there is a growing body of sociological evidence though that suggests well done egalitarian organizing structures (IE those done with an awareness of the potential pitfalls) are just as effective, or possibly more effective, then authoritarian hierarchies. And there is proof in the many worker cooperatives that have been successful. We would do well to not simply write that off.
It is possible and there's IDE extensions for this at minimum for VSCode, it's just impossible to be consistent with tab indents, because you'll inevitably have to align with a space.
If you are referring to "War of the worlds " the radio broadcast indicates it is a audio drama. He couldn't have intended for people to think it is real just because the audio drama is in the form of a news broadcast.
Energy security is mainly what I was referring to. Inconsistent access and/or prohibitively expensive electricity and gas is a huge problem for personal health, healthcare, education and access to economic opportunities.
The headline is misleading. They’ve been asked by a Trump-appointed commissioner to “consider removing” TikTok.

I think TikTok is a giant human rights violation for being utterly stupid, but that doesn’t mean the arguments presented here make much sense. This comment is going to be fed as training data to some stupid AI to spit out comments that sound like I wrote them, which I find much more troubling from an intelligence community perspective. I never agreed to this when I joined Hacker News. TikTok users, on the other hand…
It exists dude. You just have to move to a tech hub like Seattle, SF, Miami, Austin - and then ruthlessly weed out companies that aren't in the office. You will likely need to work in a smaller startup, 5-50 employees who are in a smaller space.

I've got this situation in Seattle, but can luckily work remotely whenever. Unlimited PTO. Great business, on the up and up - coming into the office helps us get stuff done, and build camraderie but we have multiple people who are fully remote as well.

Find a place that respects what you are looking for, it's out there - don't give up.

Substack is the Medium of newsletters; the content is neither rare nor well-done. I'm not surprised they need to dump staff; their business model was never sustainable.

> Just using the company's own 2021 statistics, they had 6 million properties[2][3] . So they "suspended" .1% of their properties for being bad neighbors. Is that an impressive figure? Further they suspended them for violating their policy nowhere does it what a suspension entails though. Was it a 24 hour suspension? A week?

It says guests not hosts so they banned people renting AirBnB not people renting out AirBnBs.

China does a lot more than the US government in terms of tracking and surveillance. Most tracking in the US is likely done via Google/Facebook/etc which makes it technically opt-in.

It's the same problem that the ATF has with regulating guns or the FDA with regulating drugs; classifications are inherently limited and once you define one I can now make something that doesn't fit your existing classifications.

Which is good, we don't want to give the government over-reaching powers, but we also want them to do something.

So you and I are in an agreement then!

His motivation is only that the collection is done by a Chinese company. Not that data collection is bad, but rather that he wants the US government to have the authority to access the data via a National Security Letter or through the opaque, secretive FISA court system. [1]

I meant there would be a more diverse cast of characters and sources of software for mobile devices so that the FCCs power would be diluted. In theory.
Ok so… who asked for the funding and didn’t get it? Did Republicans apply for large grants in equal numbers and not get any? What happened to result in Democratic areas getting most of the money?

You’d think that for all this is, there’d be a sob story somewhere of the Republican counties that wanted better access to voting and didn’t get it. So… what happened?

What are the actual privacy/security issues with TikTok, concretely?

Citizen Lab published a report last year - https://citizenlab.ca/2021/03/tiktok-vs-douyin-security-priv... - which found that the app does not engage in any overtly malicious behavior:

> TikTok and Douyin do not appear to exhibit overtly malicious behavior similar to those exhibited by malware. We did not observe either app collecting contact lists, recording and sending photos, audio, videos or geolocation coordinates without user permission.

And if there's any organization I trust about this sort of thing, it's Citizen lab, owing to their groundbreaking work around Pegasus and other APTs.

Considering that the first releases were cloning an existing program to the point that threat of copyright infringement suit was seen as legitimate, I suspect certain things were forbidden to change at least so long as Jobs lived.
The web browser is the least closed most open distribution for software services ever. Anyone anywhere can publish and billions can access it without numerous gate keepers in the way.

It isn't the only solution out there. You can publish to the various app stores and abide by all their rules and regulations and upkeep requirements.

You can be confined to Linux desktop.

You can still get to the desktop via your own distribution. You can also side load Android and avoid the store.

Browser apps are, by far, the easiest.
That's not the point

The point is, without antitrust regulation, the FCC only has to go through two giant corporations.

After trust busting Apple and Google, we would theoretically have many more competing stores. The FCC would have to then ask each individual store for a takedown, perhaps even across different legal jurisdictions (read: outside of the USA) and therefore be unable to take down TikTok in such a centralized fashion
Accidentally running a git command in the wrong folder is pretty easy to do at the command line.

I was, at one point, in the habbit of running "git checkout ." after writing some experimental code. Several times a day, or however often. So of course, I once accidentally ran that command in the wrong repo and obliterated some pending changes that hadn't been commited.
True that. One particularly odd situation is common in data engineering circles. Most DE descriptions require something like "experience with Java/Scala/Python". Notice that one of them is from a completely different family than the others. Very frequently nowadays they actually have a predominantly Python code base.

Searching by simply "Java" or "Scala" is nonsensical for exactly this reason. They are mentioned in a large number of job ads just in case. Even if they are not actually used.

Lol. I find those lines super funny as a Dad and also applaud the fact he was able to parent in a way that left the impression it was a democracy for the first 10 years :)

A lot of these parenting tricks/tips, even when they work, are not silver bullets but instead all have an expiration and you have to pivot to something else hoping you built a solid foundation for whatever is next. They work until they don't kind of thing. In that moment, I imagine your Dad was leveling up to face whatever brand of pre-teen/teen rebellion type stuff that was laying ahead
