I as a cyclist know how dangerous it is on the road when you do something irregular. At the end of the day human reaction time is what it is, the laws of physics are what they are, and doing something reckless on a 45mph road is going to lead to your death pretty easily on a bike. Defensive driving courses for example are effective because if you start practicing defensive driving, your odds of even being in a situation that might result in an accident go way down. Biking is the same way. No one is taught how to ride a bike on the road, unlike cars where you need to pass an exam with a government official sitting in the car showing you aren't wholly incompetent. People with bikes just go out and do it. That's why I see people biking the wrong way on major arterials all the time, biking at night without any lights, ignoring intersections, and generally not looking around, and people who have lights and mirrors and helmets are much more rare. The people who know how to take a dutch left turn on a bike are also unicorns, I've never see anyone else do it.

As a cyclist I see car traffic as like a constant source of death, like a rushing river leading into a waterfall, or a big grizzly bear. It must be treated with care, but with sufficient knowledge it can be made to be nearly totally safe. When I see statistics like 10 deaths a year in a city of 4 million, of course I will assume that a lot of that has to do with the fact that most bike riders have zero education on using the road with a bike and there was probably some recklessness involved with where they were choosing to ride a bike, and that the cases e.g. of people getting killed while riding in a bike lane or on a residential street with a speed limit of 25 mph are so exceedingly rare in comparison that I may as well not worry about them personally ever happening to me, much like I ignore the low scale risk of death with just about anything one does in life.

I think this problem is much more severe in cases where a more accurate assessment would be, "we have no idea what is going on or how to stop it, even though we desperately want to". People are more likely to grasp at straws if there is nothing other than straw available.

This does not, of course, mean that it's not still a big problem; far from it.

Is there any license that I can place my code under, that truly does not stop anyone from using it, for any reason? What legalese would I need to tell bespoke legal systems that I want to revoke all rights, in any situation, to anything in that project? Is there a license project that fulfills that need? And I don’t mean the WTFPL: I mean a license that legally stands and does what it is intended to do, and that would satisfy even the most conservative of lawyers that it’s safe to use?

Only in the short term. Eventually you end up where we are now, no one believes anything you say. Then the cost of chasing customers rises because you have to come up more ways to get your lies to come off as not advertising.

> In the sense that CC0 work is just public domain in the US, and thus an American can just assign it the 0BSD?

If I search for CC0, the first hit is https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc... which already starts to answer from the URL, but let me just quote it:

> CC0 enables scientists, educators, artists and other creators and owners of copyright- or database-protected content to waive those interests in their works and thereby place them as completely as possible in the public domain, so that others may freely build upon, enhance and reuse the works for any purposes without restriction under copyright or database law.

So yes, IANAL but AFAIK CC0 is just "public domain" but spelled out (the rest of that link explains why this might be needed).

> and thus an American can just assign it the 0BSD?

The catch, as I understand it, is that yes any American could take something under CC0 and re-release it under 0BSD (probably, again IANAL) but they can only give away the rights they had in the first place so they can't say "and nobody can claim a patent infringement on this", only "and I promise you can use this and I won't sue you for patent infringement". The original authors, if they have a patent, could (as this argument goes) still sue for patent infringement because they never agreed not to (allegedly).
Surprised the author didn't sprain something with all that reaching.

Firearms marketing is basically only visible to anyone who already is sufficiently interested in firearms (or activities pertaining to them) to seek it out in magazines or on the walls of gun stores. To assert that the sorts of marketing materials the author describes is somehow a cause of gun violence to any significant degree (at all, let alone moreso than socioeconomic factors like financial hardship and mental health issues) is a pretty blatant inversion of causality for that reason. The one exception might be video games, and that's still a stretch when you consider how far removed the in-game performance of "real world" weapons tends to be from reality (and is pretty squarely debunked when you remember that all those attempts to link video games with violence have been pretty thoroughly refuted when examined with even the slightest bit of scientific rigor).

No, socioeconomic inequality and the ownership class' success in convincing the working class to take it out on themselves has given the US a national nightmare.

And don't even get me started on the conflation of "likes guns" with "right wing". There are leftist gun owners, contrary to what the author wants to portray.
I can tell you with almost absolute certainty that if you have a closed-source repo and need to run CI/CD on a Mac, you will save money in the first month (if not weeks) by buying a mac mini and running the self-hosted actions runner on it.

That is why I went for totally stupid-silly automations.

I don't write "reusable" automations - I don't write scripts with parameters. I write a lot of scripts where I open it in notepad to edit and fill in variables.

Most of the times I just put copies of these scripts on specific servers and have variables filled in.

Variables need to change only if I change server or really change config of a server which is almost never.

This way "Automation" xkcd "Theory" fits reality.

Because then instead of rehearsing commands and what was the configuration I just go to the server and run the script and instead 30mins simple task takes me 2 mins.

Four things I got wrong since I started this blog
> You haven’t bought one.

Yet.

> Hence you are not a customer.

Except I do buy laptops. So I am a potential customer. I also buy NUCs. Which also makes me a potential customer.

> Nor part of a logically viable market segment.

Incorrect. See answer above.

> Even if catering to single purchase buyers made sense.

You're now making assumptions about my background. I've made corporate purchasing decisions before and there's every chance I might take up that role again in the near future. There have been a few businesses buy into NUCs on a broader scale and I know for a fact that one of those businesses did so after my recommendation. So Intel have already made a pretty penny from me and I'm sure I'm not an isolated case either.

> Which it doesn’t for Nuc’s because they are not consumer products.

It's NUC (all case because it is an acronym of "Next Unit of Computing" -- I know it's dumb name but I didn't come up with it) and yes they are consumer products. More so than Raspberry Pis.

Just because you weren't aware of it doesn't mean it's not a consumer product. As it happens the NUC I own was bought from a consumer store.

> Not sure any of that insight will stick. But always hopeful.

There is absolutely no need for you to be rude all the time. Particularly when you're the one pulling strawman / misunderstanding peoples comments (hard to tell if you're intentionally missing the point or just not bothering to read other peoples comments properly).

Also given you've not heard of the NUC before now and didn't even know what it was before stubbornly taking your stance, you're not really in a strong position to be lecturing other people about what the NUC is or is not.
Once again -- this has nothing to do with academic freedom. Are you trying to derail the topic on purpose?
We do not live in a pure democracy, we live in a constitutional republic. Our lawmakers aren't able to create certain laws because of limits on their power in the constitution; one of those limits is that no law can be passed abridging the freedom of speech. No matter how many people vote for it, without amending the constitution to remove that protection first, it will not happen. And the process for passing that amendment is intentionally cumbersome, for that reason.

> 4Chan, Parlor, Truth, or any other "free speech" platform. It ends up being toxic and noisy to the point that the vast majority of people will not use it.

4Chan and Parler seem to exist just fine. 8Chan doesn't, or was killed and then revived, or something, I'm not sure, but it wasn't due to lack of users; their host canceled them. Never heard of Truth before now, it seems to be Trump's Twitter clone that contains just Trump?

Anyway, my point is not that these free-speech-platforms are more successful than curated ones. My point is that that's the wrong metric to judge whether free speech is a good value to have in a society. I don't care if there are costs to it any more than I care whether the post office is profitable: I don't want to live in a society without freedom of speech, no matter how efficient it is, any more than I'd want to live in one without a post office or a fire department. I am willing to pay for the externalities because the alternative is much, much worse.

From your other reply: if I'm letting my bias in, then how am I misinterpreting what you say? I genuinely want to understand your position.
Except, astronomers do not use UTC now. So its sole supposed benefit completely misses the tiny slice of people it is supposed to be for.

UTC has exactly one purpose: to be a common reference for everybody else. Making it not mess up everybody else, every year, is obviously the better choice.

You may stop beating your spouse now, and it will be purely an improvement.

Having made the mistake 27 times already does not justify making it even a single occasion more, never mind forever.

Saying we should eliminate the military is the geopolitical equivalent of rewriting your service from scratch. The military-industrial complex is the system we have and know. Another system might work but there is no reason to believe the costs of developing it would be less than fixing bugs in our current implementation.
Yes, the sensible default for this feature would be opt-out, like noatime, in case you need the performance boost and understand the implications of the choice.
I feel like a lot of national anthems have some bits that people gloss over, or have quietly done away with. Part of the charm innit.

Captivating! So, while generating the puzzle, you are essentially creating a random Spanning Tree for the given nodes (hexagon) arrangement? Then you randomize each pipe piece's direction within a hexagon?

What algorithm are you using for it Spanning Tree?

I have been working on Maze Generation[0] and found randomized Prim's, Kruskal's to be useful for Spanning Tree creation but the good old Depth First Search increases the difficulty of solving a Maze.

You have one of my favorite comments on this entire thread - so I'm interested in your thoughts on who leap seconds are useful for, if not Astronomers (and clearly not Meta).
One of my recent coding experiences was teach a friend in grad school(MA) to code sufficiently well to finish his Master's project.

Refactoring was absolutely necessary for this. He was writing a single simulation program that was single file in size. But once he'd created ten subroutines all changing a raft of the global variables, the slightest changes produced hair-raising bugs that he'd obsessively dive into debugging.

The intuitions of structured programming and object oriented are more important than absolute fidelity. My points were: "If you can't have an object here, at least have a well defined, standard interface to values that need to be in a consistent state" and "decompose long action sequences into subroutines and if you can't do that, least group similar actions with similar actions in that long action sequence".

Which is to say a given piece of code might not the structure you want but if has a structure, that can be enough. But then again, that piece of code might not structure at all and then rewriting it really is necessary and often is easier than debugging it a few time.

And working with a large piece of "bad" corporate code, I've more than once that you something with one sensible if idiosyncratic structure that was refactored more than once by people who didn't understand the structure and imposed their own structure on just part of the code. But through an exercise in archeology, one can make the whole artifact work.

But that doesn't mean you can't have code that is a true mess when the writer has no experience and no concern with structure.

The point is to limit the attack surface, following zero trust and least privilege principles. This particular rule follows also GKE product networking best practices [1]. However we understand that not all rules apply to all environments. That is why it is possible to exclude selected rules in a tool or provide set of own, custom policies. If Security Command Center is used, it is also possible to mute findings there.

Im not sure about waste of money. It is biggest US chip maker, you can for sure point on better chip reusing companies (NVIDIA and maybe AMD [they got a lot of good launches in past 4 years but it can change very quickly]).
If USA want to be independent from China destroying/blocking Taiwan there is no other way then manufature your own chips (China and Taiwan put a lot of subsidized into lagging tech all the time and if it clicks it is always big just like TSMC)

Also Tesla grow on US gov support so don't fanboy 2much about that.
Sure, but that's all a moot point when the marketing in question will largely only find its way to people who are already interested in firearms. The marketing is catering to demand, not magically creating it.
Amtrak has positive externalities on gas users. More accessible public transit usage means less traffic and more efficient travel. [0] "Would you pay $X/month to have less traffic?" likely is a resounding "Yes" for some value of X greater than zero.

> unless your review process is slow. In which case I still think the right solution is to speed up review, not to stack.

This feels like a critically important point to your position but there's no actionable advice provided on how to achieve that. FWIW I've found stacked PRs do speedup reviews because it pipelines the work. Pipelining something removes bubbles (in this case time spent waiting on review) from forming.

Simpler parts of the work get eyeballs from more junior engineers who feel more comfortable approving smaller / simpler PRs (& other people feel confident in that). Trickier stuff is left to the smaller pool of people who have the appropriate context / skillset. If you're waiting on landing 1 PR at a time, then you're serializing the review flow which means your total time on the PR is "time spent writing + time spent reviewing 100% of the code". If you pipeline your stacked diff, then potentially you could get ~80% of the code reviewed & landed by the time you finish the more complex pieces. Then you're left with "time spent writing + time spent reviewing 20% of the code". Additionally, by putting up the commits early, you're letting other people fit smaller reviews into their schedule more easily vs "here's a PR with 5000 lines of code changes" which is a monstrosity to review (i.e. quickly runs into mental fatigue issues / quality of the reviews can easily degrade, especially if commit hygiene wasn't practiced).

Have you actually tried stack PRs with a proper review process & good commit hygiene? This is one of those "try it before you knock" it things.
