Because the engine analogy though intuitively appealing, doesn't accurately map onto the way organisms work. The 'nerves' which send control and sensory information to and from our organs are neurons. The 'extended brain' includes the central and peripheral nervous systems, and takes part in local and distributed cognition. So it's not a case of an engine running a machine, or a CPU controlling the information flowing from a bunch of subsystems. The neurocognitive architecture is spread across the body. Naturally more cerebral cortex is needed to perform higher order processing and control the signalling throughout the whales enormous nervous system.

Asking for help: Please encourage Microsoft to add AAAA records for artefacts
Hi,

I'm a solo dev and for a while I've been trying to get Microsoft to add AAAA records to their artefact repositories.

Request:
Please post a request / encouragement for microsoft to finally get this done at: https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/7435

Context:
I'd like to be able to use IP v6 only servers to collect artefacts and do builds etc..

It seems ludicrous to me that this still isn't supported. Given that IP v4 is increasingly scarce and that some countries are even starting to phase it out entirely.

Why not take the time to add a few AAAA records?
This should be simple?

Alternatively:
Does anyone have a better approach for a lone dev to accomplish this? Without relying on Microsoft to take action?
Nit pick. Fair point in some ways but it depends on your audience. If the latter consists primarily of folk with an extensive vocabulary that enables them to detect the nuance that might be intended by the use of a supposedly unusual word (like obviate) then they won't know what you mean by 'word salad' unless you're using some word inappropriately. Seven letters versus twenty three characters. No competition. If obviate is what you mean then use it. For a general audience however, you're absolutely right.

Occurs to me there's another point in your favor as expressed in Orwell's version of a well-known passage from the Old Testament 'Ecclesiastes' into modern English. He makes the point brilliantly. Aesthetics does come into it!

Merge commits add negative value to your commit history.

They are a memory of a commit ID and of a branch that no longer exist. They add complexity and empty information to your project for no useful value.

Also, for writing git tools, life is much easier if the commits form a tree. But a merge commit has _two_ parents. If you have even one merge commit, your commits are no longer a tree.

> Handy pointers to all the branches you merged, in case you ever need them (I never have

TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

No, get rid of it. Extract any information you might need into the code review or the branch.

I mean, that commit ID will probably float around your repo for the next six months, so it isn't like it's gone immediately.

It's hoarding! Let it go! :-)
the vendor lock-in!

also, very important, if a company that is already a big powerful vendor buys this, then they can use their already existing leverage to ramp up prices. after all all now they can try to - and eventually will - upsell all kinds of shit, they will milk every "synergy" opportunity they can think of, will offer package deals (that look very good on paper, but of course increases the lockedin factor, and hides the real problem of keeping the company on the legacy shit).
> it's pushing more process onto the dev in the middle of coding

Uhm, how exactly? Splitting & merging things into sensible, atomic commits with proper commit messages is usually what you do right before pushing it out for someone else to see, definitely not "in the middle of coding".
It depends what you are trying to do and what business you are trying to build. It isn’t a win if you simply don’t want to play that game.

Totally. Back then, everything was all but bespoke. Almost zero interop. It was a huge hassle. Now GIS can be just a feature set on top of a proper database. Something like PostGIS was inconceivable to me back then.

Right, slave labor can be incredibly efficient in certain circumstances. Plantation owners in the southern states and the Caribbean had already proven that a hundred or more years before Stalin.

It’s not particularly surprising that if you literally work a few million to death and distribute the surplus they created amongst the rest of the population (the one innovation I’ll grant USSR) you can have some impressive growth figures. In fact the more people starve to death or die in the gulags the more per capita productivity increases.

> who had in living memory been serfs, into an industrialized powerhouse with a quite high standard of living.

Right. You can probably say the same about many states in Germany. Russia was just 40 or so years late. It not unreasonable to believe that it’s industrial output would had reached similar levels without the revolution in comparable timeframe (probably with considerably higher inequality but with a magnitude or two less murder, however higher inequality would probably meant that more people would have died from preventable diseases which would potentially offset a million or two who were executed).

As someone who is a big proponent of "squash and merge" I am susprised to see myself labeled an extreme clean freak! I don't have very extreme git uses or opinions.

I want a few things in my team's workflow:

* A commit history that a human can mostly understand

* Effective code reviews where I can easily see what changed between rounds

* The ability to revert a whole Pull Request easily and cleanly

* A local workflow that does not get in my way and allows me to be messy when I need to be

For our team that means we commit whatever we want to our local branch and then squash and merge the whole thing at the end. The result is a single commit saying "Adds feature foo". I don't feel like I lost anything in the squash ... am I missing something? I really don't want to have "fix lint, address review comments" in the shared commit history.
I have a fairly small (but important) set of daily practices, like a 5K walk, every morning, combined with a slightly larger set of “heuristics,” like drinking water all day, standing at a desk, working in small, discrete steps (about hour-long chunks), etc.

But my “to-do manager” is a small Post-It note pad on my desk. It’s a live-action Kanban board.

WFM, YMMV.
I agree with you, that conclusion does make the most sense. From reading articles about what recent directors that work with him said, he was aware of his difficulties but was genuinely optimistic.

Celebrities unfortunately can have their careers made or broken on the basis of these kinds of rumors. Culturally, in the US, it seems like critical thinking is being valued less. I can't say for sure if that's true. I recognize that I live in a cultural bubble and rarely interact with people of the opposite opinion that I can have a respectful conversation with. My framework of certain groups is almost completely based on the media tropes and reaction-baiting social media posts of them I come across on things like Reddit and Youtube. Reasonable opinions make boring content.

I believe it was worded slightly differently when I responded to it. On hindsight I might have been feeding a troll comment. I appreciate your perspective. Hacker news just isn't a place where I am used to seeing this type of conjecture based conclusions.
Former employee in a certain Mediterranean ofc here.

This was the most toxic env I've put myself through. Zero regrets on leaving apart from not going earlier. Some good people there. Some technically apt as well. But the amount of arses and backstabing minions is staggering. I've never before or after felt so bullied by my own coworkers. What they lacked in skills the made up in politics and gaslighting. And it was much like that in all levels. Busy working, busy empty talking, bullshiting and politics oh so much politics that it would make a notmal person throw up.

Anyway i gtfo with clear PTSD and I should probably seek councelling as I'm afraid it shows at my current job.

All the entrenched actors treat it like a cow to be milked till it dies. And when it finally dies they act so surprised and sad...untill they get the severance package.

> It's hoarding! Let it go! :-)

Don't. There's no cost of retaining it and it's super useful to have it when needed. Are you trying to tell me that you never use tools like bisect or blame, and find reading commit messages with justification of the whole worth of a MR instead of a single logical atomic change that are then grouped into a MR more informative?

(unless you mean the exact pointer to the exact branch you worked on, in which case - sure, there's no need to keep it, rebase that branch while merging and let original commit IDs go, they're useless)

In a ff-only merge workflow with merge commits, all you get from a merge commit is grouping some commits together with some commit message. There's no cost to it since you can still easily consider the whole repo to be like a tree, and it makes browsing through commit logs easier for humans without making tools like bisect less useful, like squashing does.

Reading threads like this one, I get an impression that people who want to squash things away and remove information to "keep history clean" are simply not very proficient in using git as a tool that helps with development.

Sure, but the game launched on $400 consoles 7 years ago, running fine on harddrives without loading screens. It was optimized for such things from the start. Impressive but I'd say the more noteworthy part is that Nintendo managed to make the platform attractive enough for such ports. They succeeded where Sony's PS Vita failed miserably.
I initially thought your prediction was "AI-generated, with mostly human vocals and some editing" - which has no way of occurring in 2 years even for new songs, let alone if you include the legacy catalog.

This insane interpretation will not only not occur in 2 years, it will not occur this decade. Singularitarian delusion runs higher than even I imagined.

1. As he explains, YouTube's rules don't actually instruct creators to censor these types of outbursts, and he can site numerous examples of content by more well-known creators that are much more explicit than the 3-second clip.

2. After reversing their decision, Youtube has re-restricted the video because they now claim it contains nudity/sexual content. How does that tie into your argument, exactly?

I really like these projects. I'm in the process of making ('assembling' is a better word) a laptop/tablet kind of computer based on a RPi 4.

This is exciting but it left me wondering if the approach will remain to scale with larger TPC-H scale factors? Scale factor of 1 is honestly very small.

Also, I didn't quite understand if DuckDB in order to achieve this must:

2. Transform the row formatted data into its internal columnar representation

3. Keep the representation in memory

Nature doesn't optimize like us. If the neuron count is function of tissue 'mass' then you'll have a larger brain. Just having larger skin surface (granted similar density of sensory cells) would be a reason to have more neuron to deal with more sensory inputs.

No, there's no reason to preserve commit messages you used during development.

When I am developing, I make many tiny commits with an automatically generated title ('Modify util/files.py') each time my tests pass, or really, when I do anything of value. (I use `git-infer`: https://github.com/rec/gitz/blob/master/git-infer)

This makes it impossible for me to lose work, and acts like a coarse-grained undo for me, where I can quickly move back and forth between spots that the tests worked if I decide I'm going the wrong way, or create a new branch, move back a bit, and make some changes and compare.

_Before anyone sees this code_ I rebase it down to a logical sequence extremely-carefully named and organized commits. (The word "manicured" has been used more than once.)

As I go through code review, I make tiny commits and at the end, rebase them into my carefully-named commits.

I create at least five commit IDs for each final commit I created. No one wants to see these.

I spend considerable time organizing everything so just the information you need to see is in the final commits. All the information should be there.

> much much more than Russians were making in 1917

Which is true almost anywhere in the world. Obviously Russia was several decades behind western Europe in 1917. But I’d be very surprised in if the gap between Western Europe and Russia in this regard was considerably higher in 1915 than it was in 1985.

What is this even supposed to mean? It was illegal to not have a job and most people couldn’t freely choose their workplace.

Ok, so would the simplest way to solve this be an open source AI that can normalize specific text / writing to force it to be too similar to all other text so it's less identifiable.

I disagree. AR will become big since as we progress VR we'll do as we do with computers. Make smaller versions (like all these mini computers posts on HN) to carry with us, but with VR that is not quite possible since we would to stick cameras on the front of the lenses.
