> "rebase -i" is called histedit. It works pretty much the same.

Is there a reflog, though? When I mess up a git rebase, I have confidence I can always undo the rebase and try again.

When I used Mercurial, admittedly over five years ago, there wasn't a reflog. Sure, you'd get some .bak files when editing the history, but that's nowhere near as safe.
I'm a manager at a place that has "unlimited PTO"- and I've never rejected anyone's request for time off, and the only reason I do keep track of it is to encourage people to take time off. I need my developers to be at the top of their game, and that requires them to take a mental break so they don't get burned out.

That said, I need to take more PTO so I don't burn out...

You seem more well-read on COVID-19 vaccines than I am. I felt it worthwhile to answer GP because my interpretation of their comment was that not vaccinating to prevent spread didn't appear to be a reason they considered at all regardless of what vaccine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaroons_(computer_science) are very interesting to me.

Think of it as a JWT that you can narrow down the authorizations for without needing to communicate with a server, so if you have read permissions to all your photos you can add a caveat saying `photoid=123456` and share it, and the recipient can only read the photo 123456. The caveats can be anything, including requiring third party authentication via third-party caveats. I've implemented systems with it being validated by a lua module in nginx which worked well, but the whole concept never took off.

I still think it seems like one of the most interesting authZ strategies around.
> other popular languages which has channels as a core language feature

That’s because other languages did not need channels as a core language features.

Go does for the same reasons it needs e.g. hashmaps or append as “core language features”: no generics.

As far as I could see, there was one cool thing Go brought to the table, and it’s select {}. That was (and still is, I think) pretty uncommon, though not unheard of (Erlang’s receive is similar, though it has different capabilities owing to different language semantics).
I think giving everyone the same homepage wouldn’t work at some size. The sellers on the front page would likely be totally swamped and would need much larger scale than the small-scale hand-made feel that Etsy wanted, and it would also be bad for sellers who aren’t on the front page.

The thread seemed to mostly touch on some organisational disaster topics and a little bit of ‘how can we make this system work better for sellers’. I didn’t really see it as requiring automating the system so much as making it a bit less horrifying.
I disagree with this.

Very high profile "untouchable" pedophiles have been and probably are still operating right in front of the police and they have not done anything out of choice or mandate through whichever political or societal connection that they have.

Slotmap seems like a superior data structure to adjacency lists backed by Vec, but still haven't replaced them in graph libraries: https://docs.rs/slotmap/latest/slotmap/
This is needlessly dismissive. I have a lot of bushes and edges to trim in addition to the usual mowing and mulching. And had a bad sprain from trimming huge bushes. Intentional exercise had its own risks, though they're lower if following a guide or trainer. (I also have a small frame so have to take care not to overdue it regardless of activity.)

Of course I could pay someone to do the gardening or rearrange it to minimize the work. Yet that's not always an option.
It's never going away.

The thing to understand about corporate capitalism is that executives don't work for companies; companies work for executives. The bosses want brag points so they can justify promotions, and that's all they care about. Subjective achievements don't matter, from this perspective. The health of the company certainly doesn't matter. Being able to say they grew a team from 40 to 150 people... and then being able to say they "saved $10 million per year" when they cut all those people... those "achievements" burnish their resumes and, therefore, matter.

There's also an element of toxic masculinity in play here. No, I am not saying that all masculinity is toxic (it's not, not at all) and I am certainly not saying men or maleness are toxic (I'm a man, and most people would read me as masculine). But you cannot understand corporate America if you don't understand the toxic masculinity on which it is based. Here it pertains to the division of labor between "male work" and "female work". The nice-to-haves and the subjective improvements are female work; the ugly work (usually, ugly because it hurts other people, as if "making tough decisions" were as onerous as being on the receiving end thereof) that actually drives a P&L is male work. (Does this distinction of labor as male or female map in any intrinsic way to the biological sexes, as opposed to the social construct of gender? I highly doubt it.) What we see in companies is that the work regarded as "male" grabs all the glory and accrues power; the work that can be construed of as the objective domination of others for the company's direct benefit is what gets rewarded and will, in time, be the only work that matters. The nice-to-haves don't; their contribution to the health of the company (or to the health of society, about which executives care even less) is too diffuse to be considered real.

Here's some. It's a report commissioned by the government where I live, on the school attendance rates post-Covid. Even allowing for direct Covid-related absences, attendance rates continue to fall. Take a look at Table 3 in the report - attendance among disadvantaged groups has dropped in the medium double digit range.

The spell of universal school attendance has been broken. Many kids and families will be permanently left behind - this lines up with what teacher friends have told me.

We could make it mandatory for corporations providing message-decrypting to the security services to charge £100,000 for each person monitored in a given calendar year.

The word "broken" came from before we had constant arms races in technology. Obviously we don't call clubs broken because we now have rapid artillery, but there was enough time between clubs and swords, and swords and guns to allow transitions away.

When I'm exposed to a core OS feature I expect by default that it should not come with expected, critical security vulnerabilities. It is rational to expect a user to use the basic features of an OS and expect them not to cause severe issues. You can say it's not broken, and that's true in as much as they're still functional, but if by broken one means the larger question of "is this reliable and safe?" then I think the answer is pretty clear that symlinks are broken.

At the time of his retirement, my father had been with his employer for a little over 30 years. Even after he retired they offered to pay him to be available part time for consultation - largely due to the knowledge he had accumulated over those 30 years. With so many others in the company coming and going (job hopping), he was serving as a kind of memory for their engineering department. Incoming employees were making uninformed decisions because they lacked historical context around why things were the way they were.

I've experienced a not too dissimilar situation where I've been employed for 9 years. We have teams of people effectively building new feature/functionality nearly identical to things deprecated years ago (for example a rules engine into the product). Everyone is cheering how great this new feature will be - while I roll my eyes. One time I explained to people how reporting used to work in our legacy system and people were shocked how well thought out it was.

Anyways, I get many of the points made in this article. I've personally seen some of the negative effects of the gig-ification of our economy.
This is something I have been involved with recently and so excited to see it launch! You can now broadcast to IVS using WebRTC. Before the only supported protocol was RTMP(S).

Using WebRTC brings lots of great features like bandwidth estimation. Instead of picking a bitrate ahead of time you dynamically get the best bitrate possible. Because of this and features like Simulcast, ICE Restarts and DataChannels I think WebRTC isn't just the future of Web Broadcasting but all broadcasting!

The other part I am really excited about is that this is built on https://github.com/pion/webrtc. This is a library I have been working on for years and to see it deployed at Twitch's scale is so incredibly exciting. I learned a lot and excited to fold that back into the project itself. So many challenges come up not from WebRTC itself, but the massive scale and complexity that Twitch has to deal with.

Rather than address these questions, I think you have an extremely important question to resolve. Do these boogeymen exist? Are they capable of social engineering to the extent we should be worried?

It's obvious they don't when you look at even the citizens in their own countries. Which country has a handle on their people and can manipulate them at will? None of them. I wouldn't worry so much that they're capable of manipulating other countries. When you stop worrying about the boogeyman you can start considering that people should have liberties and freedoms, most of which are dangerous and require a great deal of personal responsibility.

It scares me how little people seem to value freedoms as if they were some relic of the past with waning value. History was not advanced on the backs of central planners taking as much control as they could. If you want people to thrive, you empower them, you don't spy on them.

Not gonna take a political stance other than pointing out that conservatives are not known for bolstering social services.

Actually my only real political stance in general is that any party being in power for too long is a bad thing regardless of their politics. Tories have been in power for 12 years now, which is very unusual in general since discontent with current government tends to grow with how long they've been in office.
The problem with this is if we all start doing this the cell phones will need to increase the power to compensate for the usage of every phone on the network, The microwave energy needs to come from some place in order to get rectified back to DC.

Tintml: Bring color to your machine learning projects
Indeed, you often do that "somehow" inside the DCC.

But again: the DCC doesn't see the high detailed version of that geometry in a proper pipeline. It only sees a proxy. See my detailed reply above.

Only the renderer does see the final geometry and even that may be generated procedurally, on demand.
I.e. stuff like fur, particles or the like is often generated on the fly since caching (and then reading) this data is not only impractical but also may be slower.

Think a terabyte of fur data for a horde of fluffy monsters on screen (per frame, of which there are 24 per second of film at least) that needs to be distributed to each blade on a render farm or, worse, machines in the cloud (again and again since each frame goes through many revisions in lighting/rendering before its final).

Computing the fur from a few hundred thousand 'guide hairs' on each character, on the fly, is a better approach.
Well UK is a special version of hell when it comes to surveillance. I don't know where this apathy in general population comes from, but to me it signals there is something rotten in the base fabric of their society. Can't be just government act alone, since I haven't noticed any significant pushback from citizens. And its not particularly safe spot either - instead of gun violence, there are frequent stabbings, on top of all other crime of which there is plenty.

And 'they' get smarter too - if you watch Skyfall, one of the better recent Bond movies, there is a nice speech about why MI 6 needs more and more surveillance, powers and budget in front of government officials, because of boogeymen and so on. Of course the whole meeting is attacked by the main adversary. Its exactly kind of glorifying speech that CIA (or FBI, army, air force etc.) likes to sneak to Hollywood movies to purport the image of good guys fighting to save democracy and little children (when we know thanx to Snowden how things look like in real life). Hollywood in exchange at least gets access to special places like aircraft carriers or military bases, not sure what they got in UK, maybe just extra budget.
not sure about the case here, but a common executive play I've seen at bigcorps is:
1. take credit for what was in-flight when you came in
2. kick off massive projects which you can't possibly be around to measure before you bounce to the next gig
3. switch roles / bounce and blame it on your successor (if anyone bothers to follow up / ask)
I strongly agree and strongly disagree.

Yes, measure as much as possible. No, don't put it in a damn spreadsheet. Put it in a relational database or a streaming pipeline.
In addition to this, metrics do not need targets. repeating for emphasis: metrics do not need targets. You absolutely need measurements and data, and to highlight trends.. but target metrics are almost always bullshit.

It reminds me of a psychology study done on kids that I wish I had the source for. IIRC when asked to perform a task for no reward (like, how many simple math problems can you solve in a minute?), many performed it well. then they gave the good performers gold stars. Immediately, the kids not getting stars started performing worse than originally. Then they took away the gold stars. Now the top performers started doing worse as well.

People just want to be seen and heard. Measure the things that are important WITHOUT deciding in advance what is considered a "good job". this way you can do your 1:1 on the whole picture. "you're slow, but your quality is exceptional"

The only exception to this is if the work is simple enough that you can measure it directly against your $$$, and you have a target that ensures you are green. Like maybe a strictly data entry position for a very consistent source of data. In this case, there arent 1:1's to be expected with your employees.. they either hit target or get fired.

Now I remember reading a blog post recently, about an Areta library (one of the rust ones maybe?) that were doing both: array-of-struct-of-array.

The idea was to split the main arrays up into “chunks” that were structs, themselves containing rows of data (still array oriented).

The idea was that you retain the cache/layout/performance benefits of SoA layout, except each chunk is already packaged up into lengths ready for pushing through SIMD. Quite a clever idea.

Hello Jeremy do you have any specific advice on tackling ASR using fast.ai?
Indeed. You actually can't protect yourself from a rogue administrator. The rogue administrator or quorum is subject to a unitary instruction from above which can override that. Which is ultimately everything from management to the government which can use everything up to the threat of violence against the person to comply.

The best situation to be in is never put yourself in a position where you can be made to do this or have it normalised.

If people refuse to work for surveillance and tracking companies then they would not exist. But some people are attracted to power. And they are the people who shouldn't be allowed to work for them.

I categorize all purchases in banking apps/websites that have that built in. I have most of that on a shared account with wife so it's easier. The rest I calculate in a similar way but in the "not-shared" bank app.

As nowadays most of my purchases are card, smartphone or BLIK (widely adopted local payment platform) it's not that hard. Banks also pre-analize each transaction and if they know what kind of business was that, it is pre-categorized as medical/groceries/travel/car/house bills and so on.

Overall result is poor - I spend like madman and only recently started to monitor reports successfully. Usually biggest surprises are SMALL purchases, not large ones. Overpaid yogurt in a small local store is fine, done once. But doing that every day, plus add eating out when working from office - this can can be surprisingly costly.
I can’t tell if you’re joking.

In theory, yes, everything can be measured but start measuring it and others will also start gaming it. Measurements are always just an approximation, even the good ones measuring one aspect of what you want but losing lots of context along the way.

No one has figured out how to really effectively measure developer productivity for example and the biggest companies in the world like Microsoft and Amazon don’t even try. I shudder to think that the answer is just “more spreadsheets”. If you can solve it go ahead, you’ll get rich.

I am biased, but I would highly recommend CoPilot coaching. They have a pretty solid experience. You'll have an onboarding call/consultation where the coach can learn about you. They have an app that the trainer sends you workouts in and the app guides you through them. The coach will message you in the app often and you'll have checkin calls with them. 6-10x less expensive than an in person trainer, but it's a lot more than a workout app (cause you get a real person), $99/mo.
