I had emailed you a few days back. Not sure if I got the email correct.
You probably worked with SVN before 'merge tracking' was implemented, after that merges were really not that different than in Git, especially with a UI frontend like TortoiseSVN. Both Git and SVN absolutely break down when it comes to merging binary data though, and in game projects binary data is the vast majory of all project data (in our projects about 95% binary vs 5% text data), and this is actually the main reason to avoid branching at all cost (or rather: branching is fine, merging of binary data that has diverged between branches is the problem, and Git doesn't solve any problems in that area over traditional version control systems).

But still, branches are simply not as important in a centralized version control system where everybody works on the same shared repository state.

Runtime feature flags also make a lot of sense outside the version control worflow. If you have a "live product" you often want to enable or disable features after a new version went live, sometimes only for a group of users.
Funny how that's how described in the Pentateuch's tabernacle: God sends detailed instructions about how many buttons (?) the priest's clothing should have but when it comes to PI "yeah, 3 is good enough"
Yup, I always do one story when I'm strapped for time just to keep it going on days I can't do exercises.
I can't imagine how AlphaFold doesn't win a Nobel unless figuring out who to actually give it to is too complicated.

- Tacky

- Hyped up
Full of errors, I think John Wiegley’s “Git from the bottom up” is much better.

Going further off topic, inspired by the US single mother story. There's a joke in Japan about a group of old people sitting in the waiting room at a doctors office. One of them asks, "Hey, where's Tanaka-san?" Another one answers, "She couldn't make it. She's sick."
It's great but it's kind of strange to depend on a private entity to log in on government websites.

Alison Killing: How data-driven journalism illuminates patterns of injustice
In that case, I’d like to chime in and say that I have the opposite (or at least better) experience. Our contractors in India are fairly decent. We sometimes hire them directly from the company that sources them to us.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, DT does handle the color space of the camera sensor, via the "Input Color Profile" module but this camera calibration data is not published by camera manufacturers. For Canon for example, DT has a single generic "Canon" color matrix profile, which was probably created by a user. You would get better results by calibrating your specific camera. Commercial software makers are able to obtain camera profiles (and other stuff like processing algorithms to match in-camera processing) under NDA from camera makers.

Sorry, not specific link, just stuff I picked up by following the pixls.us forum, where the DT and RT devs hang out.
This looks like fantastic work. I hadn't come across it before. Thank you for sharing it on HN.

The authors simulate a network of ~6 million real-world assets used for extracting/processing/using fossil fuels, interconnected by ~16 million ground/maritime transportation flows. The simulations match actual fossil fuel flows at every location. The data and code have been open-sourced.

The authors use the simulation to ask questions such as, "what happens if demand for fossil fuels declines gradually, say, due to a transition to green energy technologies, causing the least profitable fossil-fuel assets to shut down?"

The answer to that particular question is counterintuitive: A gradual reduction in demand for fossil fuels can lead to sudden large shortages and supply-chain backlogs in many parts of the world.

Think of it this way: if enough "seemingly unimportant" assets go offline, all their connections (flows) go offline too, and the remainder of the network's assets and connections (flows) suddenly lack the capacity to get fossil fuel to all the places it needs to go.

I've added the paper to my reading list; I want to read it more carefully.

Since JSON is already terrible on its own, making YAML a superset of JSON is a great example both of "putting lipstick on a pig" and of considering "it works in the common case, let's try something even harder" an acceptable design standard.
Anyone go out of their way to disable IPV6 on all their systems, even at the hardware level, like on routers etc? What's a good reason to avoid IPV6?
I use this in ViolentMonkey

for (let idiot of ['alice','bob','carol','dick','eve']){

if (node.tagName !== 'TABLE') { node.style.display = 'none' }
}
}
It doesn't have to be "faithful" and I agree it's not most people's "goal", but here's why I still want it and appreciate that Lightroom does it very well:

- I've been shooting mirrorless, and consequently using EVFs, since the NEX 6 came out. When I take a photo, I have already seen it. I have a vague idea of what tweaks I want to make, so having to start from scratch just interrupts that. Of course, sometimes those tweaks will override basically every default setting, but that doesn't mean having them wasn't valuable

- I often shoot RAW not because I want to painstakingly develop each photo to perfection, but because I simply need more latitude to "fix things in post". Especially when shooting events in suboptimal lighting or when I need to raise the ISO to make sure a critical event gets captured.

Are there any advantages to IPv6 other than more addresses ?
I fully get that you feel like it's all a scam. Most information out there is written by people who don't seem to know what they're talking about, and then it's indeed mostly relaxation exercise.

I personally really like David Chapman's stuff, it's a lot more practical and hands-on (and free from woo): https://twitter.com/meaningness/status/1356651259764215808
In my experience it's great for:

1. When your code is too big for your IDE's built in global search.

2. When you want to share searches with others.

#2 is great for design docs. You can say "<link> shows the bug is common in API usages" or "<link> shows x% of our files do this"

Edit 3. When something does go wrong.

> If I need to replace or find something across all repos in my organisation, or god forbid, Github, then something went extremely wrong architecturally.

If your plan B for messing something up is to not have a plan B you're going to have a bad time when plan A fails :)

Unfortunately, hope is not a strategy.
Agreed that the labels matter and some of them are slippery. Some are made slippery with cavalier intent by influential people, either by redefining or hitching their movement's cart to a better known thing. Stallman and others want to expand open source to be more than what the license says. I am proud of the achievements of that movement, but I regret that muddying labels leads to dilution and confusion.

Apple recognizes the state of this confusion and perhaps wisely uses a different definition to avoid conflict. The Clojure maintainers do not, because they interpret Open Source by its original definition. Just because a collective group is involved does not mean its maintainers are compelled to the responsibilities conveyed by Stallman et al's extension of what open source is.
the thing you're missing is that Americans want elite private networks.

so there will always be universities, private clubs, and consolidation of media organizations that function solely due to their network of prior members and influence.

so even if the .01% are more effectively demonized, a surrogate of why they have ability to function as a class will persist.

unless you have a proposal for that too, it pretty much has nothing to do with "bloodshed or not"
You're right, but the bigger picture is that the OP is about to seriously consider using a sperm donor. A 60 year old man with good genes who will provide 10 years of active parenting and an inheritance for the kid is a lot better than a sperm donor who will provide nothing. As for looking after him in his old age; she should screen for 60 year old men who can fund their own old age care.

It's not how long your pi is, it's the circumference that counts.
Even if you can mass-produce an enzyme and its necessary cofactors, it might not be easy to use it in an industrial setting. Some enzymes need a very particular environment to be stable (pH, temperature, salinity etc) or can be destroyed by side-reactions with other things in your tank. Some work only when bound to particular cellular components (e.g. the cell membrane). If they need energy to work then it's probably as ATP or NADPH, so you'd have to somehow supply that in your bioreactor. And of course you have to keep the whole tank sterile without damaging the enzyme.

These problems notably plague attempts to use the even-holier grail of nitrogenases, basically enzymes for synthesizing ammonia using N2 and water. The current standard process for industrially fixing nitrogen (the Haber-Bosch process) is energy-inefficient and uses about 1-2% of the world's total energy supply, mostly in the form of natural gas. So significantly reducing its energy usage would be a huge deal, but we haven't been able to do it, nor do we fully understand how nitrogenases even work.

You could also try to culture bacteria that do the whole process and maintain the enzymes for you. In the case of methanol synthesis though, even if you could do this you'd have to keep tes culture alive and working 24/7 at a remote industrial site. A flare stack is a lot simpler.
Milley: China Wants Capability to Take Taiwan by 2027
Actually...

In the original Hebrew version of I Kings, in that verse the word for 'circumference' is traditionally written differently to how it is read (there are instances of this kind of thing all over the Bible [1])

Each letter in Hebrew has a numeric value [2].

As written: קוה = 111

As read: קו = 106

Ratio between them: 111/106 = 1.04717...

Which is exactly the ratio between the reported value of pi (3) and the real value to 4 decimal places (3.1415)

So maybe they did have a better idea than "3". The 3 in the verse is to keep it simple, but there's a clue there for those who want the real number.

"Naturepunk" sounds fine. On the other hand "fiberpunk" would sound like oldsters made cranky by digestive problems.
Ah, that makes sense, then I might have misunderstood.

So does that mean, when the headlines say "Amazon workers (from a particular warehouse) vote to unionize", it's really about bringing that warehouse under the umbrella of an existing union?
Continuous integration originally was shifted left of VCS. There was a shared integration workstation where people would pair program and sign off code as they go. CI shifted right and can shift left again too:

I recently disabled IPv6 on my home network to make firewall rules more manageable, and I was always under the impression IPv6 adoption was slow. So I was pretty surprised to check and see Google user's adoption has reached 40%. I feel like ISPs are a big push for that.
Come on, you really wanna the high road here?

Your comment was basically "I know better and people who are my opinion know this too".

I'm not that long in the Web3 space, but from what I read I got the impression it's about decentralization, self-sovereign identity and permissionless infrastructure. These are fundamental building blocks, which happen to allow the creation of cryptocurrencies, but, as systems like IPFS or Radicle show, they also allow the creation of different things.
If you have a large estate of IPv4 addresses, the more ubiquitous IPv6 gets, the less they're worth.
Maybe as opposed to carbon life form ?
Not sure exactly what value you meant here, I've already mentioned that they (Intel and Altera) are customer of each other, and getting one of the critical supply chain elements under your company is a big plus. Also Intel senior engineers have been using Altera as stepping stone since forever, and to remove one of your competitors that frequently sucks out your experience engineers in a highly specialized field of chip design is totally worth it. But hey, as they always said not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.
So you get insecure YAML, in contrast to YAML 1.1.

So I can get a better sense of how to use this tool, if I wanted to see examples of say a 'Users' collection API from multiple Django projects, how would I do so? Looks like I can do keyword matches and language specific filtering but would love tips beyond that!
Babbel is the least hated of this kind of app among my linguist friends. Pimsleur is highly regarded by phonologists. I get frustrated by almost all of these tools. In particular, I feel like Duolingo is much less useful if you already know another language, and is almost useless as a way to brush up on a language you already know (my boyfriend has been doing Russian Duolingo for three months and his vocabulary is just now finally not a strict subset of mine - when I tried to use it to brush up on French I gave up out of frustration after three weeks of not learning anything except a new insect name).

Forgive the digression, but this reminds me of a general gripe: I wish there were more/better introductions and tutorials and other learning materials geared toward people knowledgeable in another human or computer language, the educational equivalent of P frames in temporal video compression. Rather than feeding you examples piece by piece and making you build up the mental model tediously, brain dump the mental model on you and let you fill in the specifics as you go. Easy Arabic Grammar by Jane Wightwick or Basic Polish by Dana Bielec are decent examples of what I wish were more prevalent.
I would like to be excited about this, but I feels it's gonna end bad.

Currently they are not selling 3D printed homes, they are selling the "novelty" idea of one since they don't show any real one built, only crafty 3D renderings with photoshoped people. That's "normal" for your regular cookie-cutter development because everybody knows what to expect from those types of homes, but in this case the risk seems too high and I'm sure this is a pay-now-get-home-later type of deal.

Also, what's the problem 3D printing the walls solves? That's an infinitesimal part of building a home and from a cost perspective it barely moves the needle.

Sorry for the "party-pooping" but this looks like me selling a house that I've painted with my bare hands with no brushes, only knuckle painting.. cool, so what?
How much would you save if you ran this on Cloudflare Workers?
I disagree with the POV of the article. That said, I do work at Spacelift[0], a specialized CI/CD for Infra as Code (so you can either take this with a grain of salt, or more trust, due to the increased exposure).

> First, CI rarely knows what has changed, so everything needs to be rebuilt and retested.

Yes, this is an issue with some CI/CD systems, an issue you can solve however. See our Push Policies[1] based on Open Policy Agent. Test-case caching is also sometimes available (available in i.e. Go).

> Running tests pre-commit is one answer.

Running tests locally for a quick feedback loop - sure, that's fairly mainstream though (something you can use our local preview[2] for as well in the case of IaC). Running tests locally before directly deploying to prod - that would be a compliance and security nightmare.

The author presents what looks to me like a very "move fast, break things" attitude, that doesn't really work in a whole lot of cases.

If your CI/CD is slowing you down, make it faster. Easier said than done, I know, but a lot of people don't even think about optimizing their CI/CD, which you often can do, by being smarter about what you run and/or parallelizing extensively and/or caching[3].

Same here. In fact I lost my 1000+ day streak 2 months ago (a newborn will do that to you) and haven't done a single Duolingo lesson since then. However, I did replace it with another app called DuoCards (no relation to Duolingo, AFAICT) which is great for memorizing vocabulary using spaced repetition. Duolingo used to have a companion app that did something similar, but they closed it a year ago. Anyway, they lost my subscription.
I agree that semantic code search would be a nice tool in exploratory and onboarding scenarios. The GitHub blog you posted and the CodeSearchNet project was a catalyst that got me interested in semantic code search. That's why I've been hacking on https://codesearch.ai in my spare time at Sourcegraph, which implements a version of semantic code search w/ transformers.

Exactly this. CI gets rid of "works on my machine" syndrome.

If it doesnt build on CI, you broke it, fix it before merging.

Though, I'm still sour from my only experience in "tech" where "works on my machine" meant devs got to demand I fix the CI somehow.
I don't understand how you were able to make the jump to "I don't like tools that lie about complexity" to "I want to build tools from scratch", but I share GP's complaints. The problem is clearly with tools that promise simplicity for users but are actually only simple for the creators of the tools themselves. For end users there's still a lot of complexity.

And it's not that complexity is a problem per se. It's just that it exists on multiple levels. And some of those tools aren't abstracting much or anything at those levels. They're often just providing yet another thin API for something that's still complex for their users, so they haven't really made the hard thing simple, maybe they simplified the 10% of it that don't matter at the user's scale. If anything they introduced even more complexity. Aka, leaky abstractions. Of course, YMMV.

I recently disabled it on my router because dns would fail to work after a day or 2. When I did more research, it looked like others were running into the same issue, but there was no known fix, so the easiest solution was to disable ipv6 entirely.

I used to go out of my way to get ipv6 working (back when it was "new" I used a bridge service to get access), but I simply do not have the time to figure out what might be wrong with it anymore.
I screwed up and I must apologise.

I took a bad situation and made it worse. I have reasons but it shouldn't have happened. I am not happy that I clearly and unnecessarily annoyed you, and would prefer that we put out this fire and move on with a better mood for both of us, and hopefully I can do better next time.

Again, I am genuinely sorry.
Yeah, this technique definitely has a techno-cool factor, but it just isn’t replacing particularly difficult or time consuming portions of a build. It appears that if you want 2 stories the second story is stick-framed (as are the interior walls) so you can’t even avoid hiring framers entirely.

Having a new house built now and of the roughly 7 month schedule, framing, sheathing and wrapping with WRB is less than 2 weeks.
