> "Velocity ignores direction".

I think the word choice of "velocity" indicates that its original intention was to have direction, otherwise it would be "speed" :).

What you're defining as velocity here is the exact 'micromanagement software tracking velocity metrics' that the parent comment is arguing against.

Velocity is probably more accurately thought of as the rate at which we can improve or create the right products for our business goals. But as the parent said, this is a qualitative and difficult to capture with metrics.
There are many reasons to not use foreign keys, but it also depends on the kind of application. For small databases, foreign keys do make things simpler from a validation standpoint.

When building systems for scale where the databases may grow large, foreign keys can cause many issues -

- ORM features around foreign keys can easily bring your system down when joining large tables with incorrect/missing indexes during heavy loads

- As the table grows, not having foreign keys makes it simple in taking out large tables into big-data solutions in the future

- The schemas and relations are sometimes hard to understand during the initial phases of application development. Not having those relations makes changing schemas simpler and faster.

- Sharding tables is much simpler when there are no foreign keys

- It helps to add some of the reference logic in the application rather than the database. Databases are the bottlenecks when it comes to IOPS and scaling. The more processing you move to your application server, the better scalability you can achieve.
We’re clearly talking about a series of threads per op. Or are you just being pedantic “no one is defending site, they’re defending free speech?”
The whole concept of "invasive species" makes me a bit uncomfortable.

For one thing, preserving the purity of a local ecosystem is not the same thing as preserving the purity of your local human race, but it's not entirely different either.

Also, an the world becomes more and more connected, it's a battle doomed to be lost. And those battles, as much as we might wish otherwise, should not be fought.

Also, the idea that new species "destroy" ecosystems is really flawed. What they do is change ecosystems. With a new species, an area finds a new balance after a while, and life goes on.
Belgian here, (not French) our family played this a lot. I don't remember how to play it, but I remember it being tons of fun.
Very true. Everyone at the very least deserves a basic greeting and acknowledgement, but it's unrealistic to expect anyone on the job to socialize at length.

Especially if that person was just berated or humiliated by someone "important" on a power trip, extremely stressed by the job, or is preoccupied with personal issues that you have no idea about.

I've been in that position before.

I think privilieged people that don't have the same kind of stressors in their life that working class people frequently have, can then scoff when that person doesn't have the time or energy for a conversation, as if they expect those beneath them to entertain them with conversation in addition to their job duties.

It's surprising how much taking 5 seconds to say "Hi, how's it going" can improve any interaction.
I seriously missed some weird angry mob. I watched the first two episodes yesterday out of curiosity and it was the most compelling TV show I’ve seen in years. I’ve read the books a long time ago and enjoy fantasy. I thought this was a great start for a fantasy series.
That’s an incredible margin. Is this gross before paying out drivers or after?

The suggestion for a local payment processor is a good one. We have another processing entity here in Canada called Interac whose fees are considerably cheaper, though consumers don’t reap the benefits of credit since it’s debit.

I’ve also read about Uber’s efforts accepting cash payments which I found to be very interesting: https://www.uber.com/en-EE/blog/india-growth-cash-payments/
Yeah, changing the details is fine. Tolkien wrote in his letters, "I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama." We're getting work from other minds and hands now. It's normal for a tale to change in the retelling. Given Tolkien never stopped revising and retconning his own work—the Lord of the Rings itself starts with a major retcon to the Hobbit—there's no single source of truth anyway. Points of difference are often interesting to discuss, but their mere existence is not automatically a bad thing.
Can I just say, wow, that's insane.

I can feed a family of four from McDonalds for around $24.00 out here in the Midwest. Are your Big Mac meals plated in 14 karat gold out there?
Is this like Burning Man?
Yep; we overfarmed the crap out of it in prehistoric times, apparently.
> I have a hard time believing the authenticity of the critics' reviews.

It's sitting in the 70s in other review aggregators, so I think it's okay.

It's worth also considering that many critics are not reviewing this with Peter Jackson's LotR trilogy in mind, but rather with the exceedingly mediocre The Hobbit trilogy.
Author here. I am not male, you are making a factual error by referring to me as such. Please do not do this in the future.

Impact of mowing frequency on arthropod abundance, diversity in urban habitats
That article seems to have been written with a strong bias built in - at no point do they even acknowledge that peaks have to be accounted for, the rising electric vehicle demand, the planned closure of many older plants, or the fact that even in 2017 we were having problems meeting demand at times…

They also don’t cite any credible sources for their claims that CA is headed to a power glut.
This sounds like trolling. Fahrenheit nearly perfectly nailed the intervals of importance in body temperature when it comes to child fevers, say. As no doubt you know well, 100 is "mild", 101 is "significant", 102 is "requires medicine to bring fever down" and 103 is "call the doctor". That's a huge difference in a range of 3 units. Now ask yourself what those values are in celsius.
This seems harder in our modern world where everything is contracted out to the lowest bidder. I've had great conversations with custodial staff at schools, parks, and other areas that actually hire the workers. At my day job, a giant corporation which hires its engineers but outsources its janitors, chefs, and so on, there's a totally different vibe.

Even the few janitors that speak English are both rushed to complete their tasks in the insufficient allotted time and almost terrified to talk to the normal employees, presumably due to the perceived power balance - were an employee to complain about them, the vendor would almost certainly fire them rather than risk offending the client. It's not fair, but it is reality, and it means that even when I do say hello or hold a door or whatever I don't get a response.
Sounds about right - Stripe's default fraud detection is pretty good I think but putting the useful features behind a $0.02 per transaction cost is a bit annoying.
I haven't used a shared lib in many years thankfully, outside of OpenSSL most libs aren't too painful to link statically.
I think you've identified why in your response. If you're buying something from a website then it's not an issue. If you're buying something in person relying on an app or other otp will result in fewer people wanting to bother with it or more false negatives both of which reduce transactions (and fees) by more than the cost of the fraud on the card issuer.
That's incredible, and honestly looks quite fun. The fact that they're venomous might keep me from trying, though.

This got me thinking - as drone tech continues to improve and drop in price, I wonder if we could deploy a fleet of cheap autonomous fish-killing submersibles. The failure modes or evolutionary pressures might be problematic, but imagine the lionfish we could kill at volume.
Discord is just chatrooms, known as 'servers', either public or private, ranging from tiny to massive. Anyone can create a discord server and plenty do. They're used for gaming, art, animation, learning languages, programming and, most importantly, keeping in touch with friends.

I've joining a large number of public discord servers and they've all been safe and well moderated.

Only a miniscule number of people would come across the server mentioned. If your kids want to learn about sex or hormones they'll learn it from plenty of other websites, or their mates. It's also unlikely they would learn about hormones, they would have to intentionally look for it, and they're probably not trans so why would they?
House of Dragons is a solid 8/10 for me so far. So thats where I am getting my fantasy fix from right now. Nothing in scifi right now. Was very intrigued by Raised by Wolves - but it went full mystery box and got cancelled.
Ya. The local authorities did a very good job in preventing anyone from taking pictures. I'm not for censorship, but those images do not need to be public knowledge imho.
That would be my main worry that it starts splintering off too much. Maybe they’ll merge or kill off some of the storylines. The hobbit and the elf outpost seem like plot devices that might go away to keep it a bit more focused.
It’s not exactly limited to tech but is more general to knowledge workers. Especially ones who employ support staff even at their homes. Over time they get so far removed from doing household chores that they begin to treat it as beneath them and hence the staff as unworthy of their respect.

I’m saying this being from a nation where employing household cooks, maids etc is norm once a certain income threshold is crossed, and where owing to really high inequities human labor is extremely low cost.
To find the nearest charging station along the detour route. He was already down below 1/2 charge, meaning he couldn't go back the way he came.
I think that many of us are coming at this with Peter Jackson's trilogy in mind (and the extended editions at that), but we have - probably intentionally - forgotten the exceedingly mediocre The Hobbits trilogy.

If you use that more recent work as the baseline, then I can see how the episodes released so far place the series fairly in the "watchable, but forgettable" category.

I do hope Amazon releases some UHD stills of the cities though. The team who handled those did an exceptional job.
So, as a designer of miniature languages and syntactic extensions, specify it!

A well written function must also abide by some promise or specification—contracts on the inputs and invariants on the outputs. I don't see why new syntactic structures are much different from that.

I think there's undue spookiness around macros among lots of programmers, especially those who haven't sought to solve some problem with them.

- "It's too powerful for the common person."

- "It's way too likely to make code confusing."

- "It's invariably too hard to reason about."

- "It won't work on a team because everybody is going to
make their own weird incompatible language and it's just not scalable."

All of these sentiments are complete bunk, and I argue are against common wisdom around other programming abstractions, like functions or classes.
How does a longer period of time help with estimation?

I interpreted the GP's statement of:

One way to address this problem is to not ask the question, but
to work with your teams to set goals for a longer period of time ...

To mean, "don't focus on estimating each individual task, but instead set midrange objectives." Which contextualizes the GP's suggestion of:

Then structure your organization such that it doesn't depend on
the exact timing of work completion.

To imply avoid the desire to "estimate what you will complete in a quarter" and instead focus on delivering prioritized stakeholder value.

>Misanthropy disguised as concern for the environment does not contribute to the discussion.

The importance of language and the dispassionate and accurate employment of accurate definitions is neither misanthropy or related to environmental concerns.

>Edit: Given your username, I’d expect more faith in humanity, not less.

Personally, that the largest and most productive societies on earth dedicate a large portion of their resources to building weapons of mass destruction isn't something that inspires much faith in humanity. Props to Petrov for acting with more sense then most of the rest of humanity.
Mind to give some rationales?

To me it's as simple as to preserve the diversity of the species. Even without scientific reason, I just like the fact we have more species on the Earth. If I want see carp, I can go to their origin, they have plenty.

Like, life goes on in Africa with or without giraffes. But it would be a tragedy if my grandchild couldn't see one with their own eyes.
Linux has an extension that allows an arbitrary string that is not tied to the filesystem. This makes it easier to stay within the limit or you can crypto hash an arbitrarily long string down to 108 chars.

I don't think I misinterpreted. You're embarrassed about making more, right? It's not fair?

You're not making it better by ignoring him. You're making it worse.

You can't change capitalism. But you can change the world by adding humanity for the people you pass in your life.

Not doing that adds insult (ignoring) to injury (unfair compensation).

Believe me, I know the feeling of looking at my salary and feeling embarrassed.

In my opinion, it gets anything but the heart of Tolkien. Some details are attempted to be kept similar to LOTR movies, but much of the themes and ideas of the legendarium are not here.

Then maybe you need to re-read it.

I’m saying you that *chan communities have hundreds of posts calling for 1-star reviews. I’ve explained their reasoning. They are bigots because they are racists, misogynists, and homophobes, not because they “disagree with me” - I have nothing to agree with them.

I haven't submitted any reviews for this show, I’m not trying to protect my opinion. Amazon is fighting with hordes of shitposters, not just doing some censorship.
Care to justify your advice?
This is cool, but img2img likely couldn't be easily used to make images in such games, because every scene would look very different. The problem is that you can't maintain the exact look between images. It could be used for artistic ideas and raw material though.
For what it's worth, SQLite works just fine for some blockchains without Rust extensions, e.g. nimbus-eth2[+] uses SQLite with `journal_mode = WAL` to locally persist Beacon Chain data.

Other Beacon Chain client implementations (there are several in wide use) may use SQLite, or something else, I'm not sure at the moment.

It'd be ok if that's the expectation. The social contract is such that both parties have agreed (by using the same client/network that offers those features), so changing it on only one side feels invasive because you had the expectation of privacy that you didn't actually have.
but then they would not be able to manipulate the results their own way which is exactly what is happening. make a crapfest look better than it should by cherry picking reviews.
From the article:

"A female lionfish lays an average of twenty-seven thousand eggs every two and a half days."

This reproduction looks to be so prolific that cheating isn't required.

The ultimate solution to all of these problems is going to be a gene drive.

Especially for the lionfish, edits that leave only male offspring will wipe out the problem in the Atlantic.

The United States may condemn and punish such action, but the rest of Central and South America justly want their fishing industry back, and the outbreak likely came from the U.S. in the first place.

When a gene drive is sufficiently cheap and accessible, one of them will release it.
I don't see why. since grep -F and grep -E exemplify the code (PCRE aside) then why can't sys.argv() be checked for fgrep or egrep name, so that

Hi, earlier I created it as a wrapper using calibre and percollate. It was not portable at all.

This weekend, re-wrote it in golang to use go-readability for converting HTML to readable content and then build epub from there.

Now, binary can be used directly without worrying about extra dependencies.

Name is kindle-send but it is just pushing epubs via email. So shouldn't be a problem if you're using a different reader that supports receiving ebooks via email.

The Lord of the Rings is obviously a masterpiece of literature. I've not seen the new show, but it seems obvious that any new story would likely be far inferior - simply as a matter of chance, most stories aren't at the level of The Lord of the Rings. The new show could be pretty good and would still look bad in contrast to the originals. Just seems like a cost of not being original.
What evidence do you have of what Amazon executives did?
I mean to me the problem is how do you define a node? A node participating in consensus or any node? And if it's participating in consensus, is it counting only the nodes that participated in consensus since genesis or since some time in the past? All of these technologies are completely different.
That's not what lossless means here (or anywhere).

You'd think we ought to at least be able to build some monumental architecture some of the time, even if cost is prohibitive for ordinary buildings as the argument goes. It's simply impossible to my mind that we command more energy than our ancestors could dream of and yet it's somehow "too expensive" to ever achieve the kind of works they did by hand. There are obviously factors at play which have nothing to do with cost.
Feral cats are a huge menace, at least in Australia. They go through endangered native wildlife like a hot knife through butter. It can be confronting to people because cats are pets, but they're carnivorous little killing machines, and shooting a breeding pair might save thousands of birds and small mammals.

If you think about this in consequentialist terms poachers are far worse in every respect. I'm a pacifist, a vegetarian, and an ecologist. I am glad the hogs are getting culled, that's a valuable outcome. I don't care if the people who cull the hogs enjoy it. I wouldn't, I'm glad someone does, they're doing something with a good outcome, even if you think their motivations are unsavory.
You can always say 40% cheater, 60% non cheater in this one game, but this updates the priors for future game considerations. At some point the priors will be such that the belief in the risk of cheating (which needs not be more than 50%) will cause the player to not be invited.
There was a time when manual transmissions were alleged to give better fuel economy than automatics, but I think that's long gone now.
The eagles could be corrupted, yeah. They're sentient and (some at least) are ancient. One of the central themes of The Lord of the Rings is that the Powers of Middle Earth are very, very tempted by the ring and must overcome the test of the ring at cost to themselves: Galadriel is doomed to travel to the West, Boromir loses his mind temporarily, Saruman becomes a tyrant and eventually his staff broken etc. The eagles are themselves a Power and if they picked a Ring Bearer up they'd be tempted to drop said bearer on the ground and fetch the ring from their dead hand, become some type of eagle tyrant.

Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't. Big risk either way.

Anyway, this theme is why the most meek people of Middle Earth -- the Hobbits, who desire basically nothing more than a quiet life -- are the only ones in Middle Earth that could actually cart the ring into Mordor. Even then it's not a sure bet, considering Gollum.
Troll scene aside, I am just bored that it seems Disney and Amazon Studios share the same writers when it comes to their strong female leads.

> The first is that the Fahrenheit scale wasn't built around a range of human feeling

How and why Fahrenheit was developed is completely immaterial: what is material is whether and how its range is of value to its users now.

> Every time I need to think in Fahrenheit (which tends to only be online debates about this very topic), I can't picture anything clearly even with the purported 0 to 100 concept.
