The thing is, policies like this make it really hard to manage open source projects, which (a) typically do not make a lot of money, and (b) in the very long tail, are sometimes "dormant" according to this metric. And the cost goes up the more projects you have and the more services they're spread over.

If they really wanted to save only on costs, surely they could have gone for the biggest repos first? E.g., politely email owners of large-but-inactive repos to consider spinning them down, and then if that fails to move the needle, then put in a policy (starting with big repos first).

There's no reason for someone's 1k LOC project to get swept up in something like this. The costs for that must be trivial.
Rootstocks definitely alter growing parameters. But there are also dozens of different rootstocks to choose from, each with different characteristics. So I'd imagine it'd be hard to pick out an aggregate trend.

Growers will pick based on a whole number of parameters. Soil pH and moisture being two important ones. Also degree of phyloxxera threat, etc.

Given what's happening with climate, etc. I doubt growers would go for accelerating ripening. Pinot is actually already a fairly early ripening variety for vinifera, usually early October or even late September in my climate (southern Ontario).

I think this article is a very narrow topic in how it once you can get yourself to enjoy that “tough task”, it excuses the need for discipline. It’s one of many ways to get yourself to do something, won’t work in a lot of tasks, or even very difficult. You’d need discipline just to try to make it like a game.

India had universal suffrage in 1950 and has deep parliamentary traditions. India was a democracy before the US, France, UK, Spain and numerous other Western cradles of democracy.

US got universal suffrage in 1965 (Voting Rights act).
France was killing a million Algerians whom it ruled and were demanding self-determination in 1954-1962 and finally became colony free in 1977.
UK was running concentration camps in Kenya in the 1960s and free of its last colony in the 1980 approaching something like Universal Suffrage.
Spain was a dictatorship till 1979.
The increasing use of bots may be due to an increased use of Infra-as-codes or other integrations. Git is no longer a mere code management system. It's already part of the production infrastructure.

In the current company, we have github-action based CI/CD. On top of that, we have config management via git, deployment via Pulumi (also on git). And we are also exploring describing k8s controller workflows with yaml configs.

It seems that GitHub is really in a good place for becoming a company for "production infrastructure minus codes". I'm wondering if there'll be some competitors in this field.
It’s easy to espouse a basic idea of “build more housing”, but the truth is that when you get to the nitty gritty of doing it there’s suddenly disagreements from all sides.

Get a room full of engineers who “want a consistent style guide” to agree on the particulars of one and you’ll see this dynamic in action.

Those users probably don't give their clicks to ads, obvious or otherwise. Their focus on useful results means they cannot be easily monetized, and therefore need to be dissuaded from using G as much as possible.
While they have 884M cash/equivalents, they did have a yearly 157M Net loss, compared to 192M net loss last year. That's some good improvement but it means there's a lot of work to be done before they reach profitability. So I don't think they're strapped for cash, but there is likely pressure to make enough changes to reach profitability within 3-4 years.
I wonder if post-COVID brain fog is a contributing factor. We know people 65+ are hit harder by COVID, and that same demographic had the biggest increase in accidents.
Ah the good ol "whitelist the google bot IPs but pop-up paywalls for everyone else" trick. It'd be cool if google randomized their crawler's IPs and made their bot look like just another user, then we'd all get the same viewing experience.

Use JSON and you lose type information, schemas, and relationships. Of course you can add all that back to JSON as many people have done in various ad-hoc ways. JSON is inferior to XML in every way except "I don't want to type angle brackets and closing tags".

I encounter a lot of people stating your position, that reading JSON is faster than reading XML, for a human. I cannot speak to the subjective experience of anyone but myself of course, but IMO that's a load of bunk. Spent most of my career looking at both XML and JSON, and the only time I ever have a problem is when it's not formatted/indented. We have tools for this, of course.

Yet to encounter a situation where the performance of the XML parser was a limiting factor in the system I am working on. RapidXML and RapidJSON are both insanely fast if you use them as intended. If you are encountering performance issues from parsing XML you almost certainly want to move to a binary format anyway.

There is another reason that is less often openly disclosed, but very much in play. I recently proposed RStudio or Python/Panda combo to deal with some of the limitations of Excel ( which also conveniently bypasses Alteryx's cost ), but the response I got was somewhat surprising, because it revolved around and I am paraphrasing 'will others be able to learn and use it'. And here is the rub. Excel has a lot of online tutorials and in some ways it is a known quantity. And, well, some people don't want to learn new thingsshrug.

So, cryptocurrencies are used to scam people, and you blame the government?

The government had every reason to stay out of the cryptocurrency discussion. Every web3 startup and their mom was racing to get some form of government endorsement; had the floor been opened for discussion, we would have watched as every exchange threw the other under the bus just so they could look clean and make good on their investors. It would have been unmitigated madness, and arguably, their refusal to really acknowledge crypto has had the exact chilling effect they wanted. Hyperbolic speculative trading is on the decline, Bitcoin is almost worth 1/3 of it's peak value, and hackers are continuing to exploit their script-kiddy software stacks. A time-out in the corner is exactly what the crypto world needed.
AC is one of those things you can’t live without once you get used to it, but that you don’t really notice the abscence of otherwise. I grew up in a hot place place with no AC, and while I now have AC, I usually never start it below ~28-30 Celsius.

Some communities of data science organize "help wanted" lists. Join local interest groups in a space you want to work, you'll wind up being direct to mailing lists, forums, social media groups where a post of "I can do X" will be seen. University Departments often organize extra-mural engagement, it can be an opportunity to engage with a professional in the field and ask if there are outlets for your skills.

I now volunteer with a local online seniors group helping the over 70s with keyboarding and basic networking issues. Its nice work, one menu at a time.

Aside from which, socialising with like minded people doing some other endevour may broaden your horizons anyway. Even if they never want your core assets, you might move the dial a few millimeters in a local space.

I know a network engineer who joined the local council to argue for community fibre. She had the chops, and the skills.

>Beginning in April 2016, James Cook University took a number of disciplinary measures over two years against Ridd, which culminated in Ridd being fired, for refusing to take down confidential information which he had placed publicly online. The university denied that the dismissal was over Ridd's views on climate change.

Looks like it went back in forth in court for a few years, with the university ultimately winning on appeal that he was fired for cause (posting confidential info).

I've served on a city Planning Commission, and I can say categorically that you never truly know who someone is until the city tries to re-zone the property around their house.

Being fair to Andreessen and his family, they likely bought their house knowing that the property was zoned single-family residential, as was the entire neighborhood, and that it's relatively difficult to change land use policy. That is, until the Legislature of the State of California decided it knew better than every incorporated city, and wrote a housing density law that superseded local zoning regulations.

I've always been surprised that tech billionaires don't spend money influencing State Senate/Assembly races. Maybe that will change.

Offtopic: your account reminded me of a funny event from a few years back.

I'd arranged with a friend to watch a movie, 28 Weeks Later (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_Weeks_Later). We picked a cinema in London's Canary Wharf area, not realizing that the movie was actually set there!

Spoiler: in the movie, Canary Wharf is utterly destroyed by firebombing.

When we emerged from the movie, we walked around in a daze, through areas that we'd seen obliterated just a short while earlier.
Is this still active? Seems like a great idea, but the page says it's an archive and the search doesn't work. :(
Stablecoins have to be backed by something, and pretty much every example I've seen has zero accountability for whatever the asset is leveraged against. Anyone can make a coin that holds roughly the same value, but it's a lot harder to ensure that you have the liquidity for your users to cash out whenever they please. It's a lot easier for a government to handle that sort of thing.

You sound like you know a lot about the technical aspects are you really qualified to know about the business ones? I'm just really curious to get the good answer and information on this and I'm sorry if the tone sounds off I know nothing about any of this... but I thought this source was a really good source because it was recommended to me by a really high quality international mobile operator. So I'm inclined to trust its assessment that economic losses are maybe one of the reasons for low quality voice calls using that stack.

I've had open source projects be dormant for 10 years only to get a question pop up out of the blue from someone who found it useful.

I hope that Gitlab and other hosts of the open source community think hard about this before implementing any policy like this. There are projects that are useful, and stable, but for whatever reason do not have a lot of users. There is no reason to let those projects die, or force the maintainers to have to do a song and dance to keep them around.

Yes, there's a cost, but there's a benefit too, and I hope these hosts of the open source community remember that.
Thats a fallacious argument. Low and no carbon sources of electricity have been available since the 1920s. We could have reduced poverty without relying on the vast (and quite wasteful) quantities of fossil fuels that we did. This future is the result of a series of choices made to the financial benefit of a select few.
The biggest thing cypher wanted was to forget first, that’s the only way he could handle it after knowing the truth. Unreal can never be as good as real.
I don't think anyone really has much difficulty understanding his argument or why he's making it; the rank hypocrisy of his long-standing and consistent statements around building more housing is at issue.
I wish that google would enable quote search functionality for youtube too. That is, if I put quotes around a youtube search, then it will only return results containing that in the title or description, and not show related videos or anything like that.
Yes, it is the whites who have been harmed by depictions of criminality! Not the blacks or the poor's, they've been living too high on the hog I'd you ask me.

In seriousness your abstract is a place to explain the purpose of your paper and summarize your findings. The following has no place.

Direct quote

"Results suggest whites are disproportionately portrayed as criminals five to eight times more often on police dramas compared to actual crime statistics for the city of New York, exposure to police dramas increases beliefs of threats to personal safety, and exposure to police dramas leads to elevated perceptions of white criminality among non-whites."

Your abstract should have concrete take aways about your research, regardless of whether you or anyone else likes the results of said research.
The post says it is a post-only API. I’m not sure if thats to a single URI, like graphql, or if the URI is different depending on the RPC call in use. But either way, it sounds like cacheability might not be great, which is also an issue with graphql.

That said, it’s definitely a step in the right direction, and I personally have never written an API where I even wanted the results to be cached.
From this very page, a survey popped up for me.

"How likely is it that you would recommend TechCrunch to a friend or colleague".

From the link below:

"GSR [galvanic skin response] originated in the early 1900s. It was used for a variety of types of research in the 1960s through the late 1970s, with a decline in use as more sophisticated techniques (such as EEG and MRI) replaced it in many areas of psychological research. GSR still sees limited use today, as it is possible to use with low-cost hardware (galvanometer)."

"There is a relationship between sympathetic activity and emotional arousal, although one cannot identify which specific emotion is being elicited. These autonomic sympathetic changes alter sweating and blood flow, which in turn affects GSR and GSP."

That's true if we continue to insist on squeezing as many billions of people onto the planet as possible. If we aimed at having a sustainable global population we could stop man-made climate change (as opposed to the naturally changing climate that plunges us into ice-ages periodically) without condemning billions to poverty.
Fair, but those don't count as downloads on the Play store.

Correct. The mantle is on average about 35km thick. Most (all?) oil wells are less than 5km deep, so this is roughly an order of magnitude deeper. The world's deepest borehole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kola_Superdeep_Borehole is 12km deep. But even before this, downhole temperatures reach 200C which apparently caused the rock to act like plastic, causing the drill stem to get stuck.

A well with 200C temperatures would yield more energy, but you're still limited by how fast heat energy can migrate towards the borehole, followed by transporting it for 12km without it cooling off.

A similar situation is apparently happening with the London tube, but in reverse. Heat from the trains is being absorbed by the rock underground, but it can't migrate away fast enough. As a result, the tube tunnels are heating up decade by decade, to the point where temperatures underground reach the mid-30s in summer. Eventually they will have to do something about it, but that probably won't happen until enough people get killed by heat exposure in a stuck train.
Even at desalination rates residential water is orders of magnitude cheaper than Atherton rents.

But building enough housing won't happen because people rationally conclude it's in their best interests. It will happen when the decision-making levers are removed from local government.

I don't understand why "enough housing" can't be in people's best interests. Removing voice in local decisions will not increase loyalty.

Atherton was going to build 130 housing units over the next 8 years. I'd wager that the evaporative loss from the pools and fountains in that particular community consume more water than 130 people living in townhomes. Not to mention the lawn sprinkling.
From what I understand, most of the earth's mantle is not molten and you can only find molten rock, magma, in some specific places like mid-ocean rifts and volcanic hotspots. The mantle has convection currents, but those flow on geological timescales. The Earth's outer core is liquid, but that's almost three thousand kilometers below the surface.
