> I don't see how you can declare what an employer/employee are allowed to agree to.

Okay, I am coming from a non-US perspective where it's obvious that you can declare what employer/employee are allowed to agree to - "employee rights" means those things which are unalienable and nonnegotiable.

I'll simply quote the universal declaration of human rights "24. Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay." - not only do countries have the right to intervene in employer/employee contracts, they have a duty to do so. If local employment law permits companies to require salaried employees to work 168 hours a week, then that law is literally enabling violation of human rights and should be changed.

nix-direnv[1] is pretty seamless and performant once you have direnv installed and set up. I have a devshell flake template that looks similar to theirs. I had an edge case bug that I was dealing with, and they had a release that fixed it shortly after I reported it.

> This is not that. Asking DALLE for a bunch of football players, would expectedly produce a huddled group of black men. No issue, because the NFL are disproportionately black men. No outrage, either.

This is not great. Only about 57% of NFL players are black, and the percentage is more like 47% among college players. It would be better to at least reflect the diversity of the field, even if you don't think it should be widened in the name of dispelling stereotypes.

> Asking DALLE for a group of criminals, likewise, produces a group of black men. Outage! Except statistically, this is not a surprise, as a disproportionate amount of criminals are black men.

Only about 1/3 of US prisoners are black. (Not quite the same as "criminals" but of course we don't always know who is committing crimes, only who is charged or convicted.) That's disproportionate to their population, but it's not even close to a majority. If DALLE were to exclusively or primarily return images of black men for "criminals", then it would be reinforcing a harmful stereotype that does not reflect reality.
It's a reimplementation.

> It should have a different command for that functionality.

It does in today's git. Rather than using `git checkout` you can migrate to using the two split commands `git switch` (switches branches, generally safe) and `git restore` (restores files, generally "dangerous"). `git restore` also has the benefit that the some of the most dangerous commands at that point have similar names: restore, revert, and reset.

It will take a while for people's `git checkout` muscle memory to be replaced with `git switch` and `git restore` (and `git restore` is still marked as "experimental" despite being stable for quite a few git releases now, though that "experimental" suggestion seems to be mostly earmarked for people thinking to use `git restore` in automated scripts than it is for human users), but the command split is a very good thing for git user experience.

(I've mostly gotten used to `git switch` at least and have stopped using `git checkout` in my own work.)
there needs to be work done and intuition developed in order for a human to look any amount of moves ahead. we do not look ahead in the same way a computer algorithm does

we look ahead in ways like "doing this leaves this area weak, and the opponent has resources that can take advantage of that, and i cannot intervene on those resources in time" or "if i create a strong threat then the opponent will be forced to react to it, here are the ways they can react that make any sort of sense, here is what i can do in each of those situations"

they are not doing things like "let me simulate moving every one of my pieces right now, and then every one of my opponents pieces in response to each of those moves, and then my options again, and review 10,000 possible scenarios in my mind individually for the best min/max situation" like a classical computer engine does.

so i always find the "X moves ahead" phrase misleading at best. but as i originally stated, it is useful to know how many moves of perfect play are necessary for someone to convert a winning position when reviewing the players confidence going into that position. and even then you dont know if they got lucky or earned that confidence by looking at just the one game alone. Over the course of their career the amount of time that their confidence pays off or not tells the story there
AirBnB doesn't allow you to name microservices descriptively. It makes sense because it doesn't scale. After the 10th "SMS Service" is created, no one knows what any of them do. And that's kind of the point of microservices, you have lots of them. It's inevitable there will be overlapping functionality.

There's plenty of other reasons too.

Silly names are fine, it takes just as much time to learn what "Ernest" does as it takes to learn what "shipping" does. For both services, there's 30 seconds of learning, and then everyone knows what both names mean.

The anti-silly-service name dogma is misguided.
Lol. All the things you listed are more or less harmless to others, or general purpose tools/forms (mihht dispute art in this regard but I'm personally very willing to accept the dangers that art poses). A crossbow is an updated medieval weapon, that by the way, lower aristocracy (knights) at that time, tried to declare a warcrime, because it could penetrate the state of the art armour... What's it with the desserts? They are tasty and, if you're not scared of crazy clowns that try to embaress you in public, more or less harmless.Certainly not a weapon. Our forests here went through some thousand years of culture and there really isn't anything a manly man would need to defend himself against. Maybe the ones on the border to/in czech republic, but where that is the case, these areas are natural reserves, and you're not supposed to go there unless you leave no traces. Certainly not shooting left and right on animals for some sporting fun.

US long term capital gains do work that way: they have marginal brackets just like regular income taxes. (Your starting bracket is calculated based on your regular income, rather than from 0 the way regular income tax brackets work, but otherwise they work the same.)

And short term cap gains are just regular income.

I know that, and you know that. But did the person who wrote the article also know that? How careful were they?

Probably? But not definitely. Which is why I never use that term myself.

Similar to the reason I never say "bi-monthly" - it could mean twice a month, it could mean once every two months. So I don't use the term.

I agree that these policies aren't driving relocation, but maybe serve more as a form of marketing and to capture a narrow slice of people already looking to move, but without strong opinions on eventual destinations. In that case, having the program can have some influence where $10k and co-working space is a tiebreaker vs. being the main determinant.
Yeah, I agree with that. Knowing when to break the rules and having reviewers agree with it is def a very rare thing. I think I’ve done this only a handful of times in the last 20 or so years.

ACKHSHUALLY, "how many bars" is well known to be very bad indication of network connectivity. Yes, if you have one bar it's probably worse than five, but for example "my phone show five bars and yours only three" is very wrong way to judge -- there's no relative measure.

I looked there and a bunch of the examples show places where it used to be used (which is probably a good indication of how hard it is in practice). The rest have very vague details and none of the examples there really go into any depth on the details of how they value land in practice. So I'm wondering if anyone knows which country has a good model to look further into.
The first point covered, giving away your core IP, is definitely one that resonates with me. We went open core with our headless document management system (https://github.com/formkiq/formkiq-core), and there is always a worry in the back of my mind that we are providing such a solid foundation with the open core/source components that we may be undercutting our enterprise modules.

But on the other hand, I don't know that we're popular enough for someone to come along and build free modules on top of our product. So maybe this isn't a problem we'd need to worry about.

Until it is... ??
So the rich people of Toronto first wanted picket fences and built the inner-suburbs, and drove everywhere, plus forced the elimination of transit payment zones.

And now the rich are living more in Old Toronto and the poor(er) folks are forced to the inner-suburbs where the design does not condone efficient transit.
It was whataboutism, and it successfully derailed the conversation, so I guess it worked.

Also, btw, just for performance reasons - I wouldn't put a JNDI call into a log message anyway - even calling to somewhere local, it's not entirely free, and logging is highly performance-sensitive. I'm not sure if it's HTTP-based or what, maybe it's memory-based if local, but whatever it is, doing it thousands of times a second is wasteful.

It's not a "get the container name" call, it's a generic JNDI call, those values could change and the output probably can't be cached... so just for performance's sake I would get those values at application startup and then put them into the Mapped Diagnostic Context, which can be accessed via log4j pattern formatters. That way you're not calling out for every log message.
Another easy way is to tax wear items accordingly and have inspections maintaining their condition for safety. E.g. EVs are heavier and wear down tires more than lighter cars. The state could implement a tax on tires and mandatory inspections for tread depth like they do with smog checks for emissions in gas cars. They could use the same testing infrastructure and just stock every location with a penny to measure tread. Heavy users of the roads will see a lot of wear on their tires and will be paying more into this tax accordingly in order to have a legally safe vehicle to drive, just like how owners of ancient cars that are more likely to be polluting need to take special care that the emissions controls are in good maintenance so that they pass smog.

It would also be beneficial to incentivize better vehicle choices at the point of sale. Ebikes should be subsidized to the point of being free or nearly so. Other evehicles should be taxed extremely high per pound of mass. A family of four should therefore naturally gravitate toward a compact hatchback over a massive SUV that weighs twice as much like they do today when there is no incentive for getting a smaller vehicle.

There is a severe oversupply of engineering graduates in the US, that's all there is to it. All hardware engineering jobs have been colocated with the actual manufacturing facilities they are designing for – i.e., Asia-Pacific. Even the reduced number of graduates is too many, because the demand is virtually zero. People are not dying and retiring as fast as the industry itself is.
Thank you-- this is a very cogent phrasing of the argument.

I wouldn't say transit is for the wealthy... Only that that transit should be more ubiquitous within population centers and widespread regionally, with high enough frequency to be a workable option for everyone.

I'm honestly surprised that they trained a StyleGAN. Recently, the Imagen architecture has been show to be both easier in structure, easier to train, and even faster to produce good results. Combined with the "Elucidating" paper by NVIDIA's Tero Karras you can train a 256px Imagen* to tolerable quality within an hour on a RTX 3090.

Here's a PyTorch implementation by the LAION people:

And here's 2 images I sampled after training it for some hours, like 2 hours base model + 4 hours upscaler:

> The costs of a cycling path that support the same flow of people is negligible compared to that of a corresponding highway.

That's not true The ground pressure of a bicycle is higher than the ground pressure of a car.

Some bike tire pressures exceed 100 psi. Only the largest trucks have ground pressures that high. A typical passenger vehicle has a pressure of around 36 psi.

The ground pressure of someone in heels is even higher than that. There's a reason sidewalks are made of cement while roads can be made of cheaper asphalt.
Pretty normal for government work. My dad was a plumber for LA County, on call pretty frequently to respond to broken pipe emergencies and what not, and got paid an hourly rate on top of normal salary for that, whether he got called in or not. Even as a software developer contractor, when I've worked government contracts, if you're authorized to charge overtime, you do have to actually charge it, and get paid more than your salary, if you work overtime. Otherwise, you're donating labor to an executive agency, which violates the Constitution's granting of exclusive power of the purse to Congress. This is the same basic reason that, if you donate money to the government, you can only donate to the Treasury general fund and not to a specific activity, also why Iran-Contra was illegal (one of many reasons, I suppose).
Comments here are predictable and depressing. Some people just want to do great work for the sake of doing great work. If you have to be the most compensated person in the company to care, that’s fine too. But it doesn’t mean everyone else does or a workplace is “toxic”.
It's also designed to replace `git checkout branch -- filename` and related complicated `git checkout` uses. (It was added alongside `git switch` and between `git switch` and `git restore` you can entirely avoid `git checkout`.)

I suspect that is largely due to the success of Apple Pay. Banks used to have their own apps on Android for years and only grudgingly started to support Apple Pay since they couldn't use their own apps. They only started migrating from their own apps to Google Wallet/Pay after Apple Pay became a success and Android users started to feel left out. They would never have supported Apple Pay if they hadn't been forced to do so. In fact, even though there was no alternative they kept dragging their feet and complaining about it for years.
It‘s nearly as good as my story. I‘m walking with airpods past my car. The car detects my keys and turns on bluetooth, iPhone connects and thinks it's better to send audio to my car instead of the airpods in my ears. A long and painful connection loss is the result while I walk away and hope that my airpods reconnect. There is no way to set a presedence or similar. These days it‘s even better, the iPhone also switches to car mode and forces me to disable it first.
> does seem to be almost some kind of stigma or classism with buses rather than an actual functional difference in technology

I attended a talk on the effects of new bus versus light rail routes on property values. The fact that rail is fixed increases them much more. The switching cost is a feature. Nobody moves to a neighbourhood because the city opened a new bus route to it.

Something similar might occur with citizens’ give-a-shit factors. I get furious when my local subway station gets messy. I have no idea which bus routes go by. If a bus route became problematic, I imagine my neighbours would petition to move or cancel it before considering cleaning it up. You can’t do that with laid track.
