> 1 PR cannot have more than 50 lines of product code added. Any number of lines can be removed. You can have up to 100 lines of test code.

Hard disagree.

Landing a single class/module to implement new functionality may take more than 50 line of code and 100 lines of test, even though conceptually the additional functionality is simple and it amounts to mostly boilerplate and looks like every other class that implements the pattern.

Some large plumbing refactorings or CI refactorings are difficult to do in small chunks. I'm perfectly fine with a PR that replaces one internal API with another one and then has hundreds of small copypasta fixes littered around the codebase to swap out the APIs. Anyone should be able to read that without cognitive overload.

Tests are also commonly over 100 lines of code since they tend to be repetitive by nature, and I'd like to not see those artificially broken up into smaller PRs since the most important question I've usually got is if all the cases are covered or not. Breaking 300 lines of tests up into 3 different PRs to satisfy some kind of line-length metric means now the most important question I have needs looking at all 3 simultaneously and that is deeply counterproductive and totally useless. And small code changes with lots of comprehensive tests which fill out cross products of different API usages are great and should be encouraged.

And while I don't personally like the dozens-of-tiny-atomic-commits approach, I deeply don't care if other people do it or not. I've never found it useful to read their PRs, or even after the fact, but I won't stand in the way of them doing that if it is what gives them enjoyment (OTOH, I never do that).

I wonder if there is a version of this that includes domestic cables? Navigational charts generally show them (as well as various "DO NOT ANCHOR" signage denoting them). It would be cool to see what the more "minor" or "non-international" underwater infrastructure looks like.

It's a forum, it's basically for speculation. Short of being rude, virtually nothing is "inappropriate". Saying something is "inappropriate" just suggests one doesn't have a reasonable response to the points made.

I've gone through it, from both sides. For a small company or individual, it's just not something to panic about or assume will consume an enormous amount of time. That isn't "unique" insight, lots of people go through this, the US is a litigious place. To be clear, they are not on trial.
How very pessimistic. We should never shirk technological progress for fear of upsetting the status quo or established agenda.

How Americans edit sex out of my writing
I like where your head is at, but heed my experience: I once gathered a couple months of junk mail and wrote "Return to Sender" on all of them and tossed them in a blue USPS box. I walked away dusting off my hands thinking I had stuck it to the man. Little did I know that 2 days later all of that mail was delivered, en masse, back to my front doorstep. Might as well have left fish heads as a warning! My friend explained, though, "See, _you_ were the sender, so they sent it back to you."
I think this is a common response. But even though the Snowden revelations were a "scandal", nothing bad really happened to the perpetrators. And the FISA court that rubber-stamped the data collection is still operating and still rubber-stamping government surveillance. So, how is it not business as usual in the US? Consider also how law enforcement now has warrantless access to individuals' location data thanks to data brokers and pervasive location tracking in apps[1].

I would really like to see people in North America demand better from their leaders instead of patting ourselves on the back about how at least we're better than China.

I don't think so, this is just history retold with animation and narration.
If anyone is interested in some listening on this topic, Tim Ferris interviewed a guy recently who talked a lot about rapamycin on his podcast.

There's a transcript linked if you'd rather read/skim it.
Now that you have been through it, do you think you would be able to reasonably emulate the cognitive aspect of the experience, leaving aside all of the ~emotional/experiential aspects of it?

---------

EDIT: I've exceeded my three posts per day limit but am keenly interested in this topic, so will reply here hoping you will see it (if not, I will re-post as a reply tomorrow):

> Like, can I observe myself more readily without judgement and emotion? Yeah, I think these experiences teach me to do that in new and fascinating ways over time, but it is absolutely iterative. If you're asking if I can make the same discoveries without LSD now that I've done it once, maybe - but I doubt it. Many of the chains LSD relieves you of you are so accustomed to having that you may not even know they're present.

I'm aiming for much more nuanced detail (a trick: think of what we are discussing as a project that you are being paid to implement, which can facilitate the application of the full horsepower of your mind to the idea).

I think the key word here is "emulate" - you experienced an alternative but genuinely real & "true" mode of operation of your mind, one that is superior in some ways:

- I entered a state of mind where I got to visualize all the paths a thought could branch to

- and what ark that would carry on my thinking in the long term

- once I accepted my circumstances I was able to observe without fear

- I learned a tool for observing without expectation or controls

If you break your experience down into discrete bullet points like this, and you conceptualize them as services or implementations, and then you apply some of your standard computing analysis skills to the whole thing, do you believe it may possible (for you, or someone) to achieve a (crude or otherwise) reproduction/emulation of these abilities?

Once more: it's just a subpoena. OP is looking at a few thousand dollars of legal fees and maybe a trip to wherever the court is. If you're operating a profit-seeking company in a legal regime that provides the protection that ours does, you simply have to be able to bear those costs. If your VC's or angels won't pay it, they aren't serious investors.
Depends on the podcast. Well-produced ones are tightly edited, and the moderator keeps the conversation tight. That takes some work (and budget) to do. I find I mainly listen to big-budget podcasts, not on purpose, but because I won’t put up with low information density and all that is left after that are podcasts with the budget and production values to keep it tight.
most podcasts select for those that can fill the air

Doesn't "past history" imply something that is no longer happening?
> It's simple addition.

Not quite. The tallying algorithm is `while (no candidate > 50% of votes): pop min(candidates), reallocate_votes(min(candidates))`. On the other hand cardinal methods are `argmax(sum(candidates))`. For comparison, FPTP is `argmax(sum(candidates))` too. The only difference is that FPTP is a one-hot vector. I'd argue that the average person intuitively understands cardinal methods without any training.
What do you mean by 'this' - there are several examples given in the article. Can you share some of the problems you're facing too?
To be clear, I personally prefer approval to IRV. But raw approval gives undue advantage to moderates. Approval-to-runoff being clearly superior than raw approval, for this reason. And STAR being a little bit better than that.

The RCV people's main criticism of Approval is that it doesn't allow you to express different levels of support, and they aren't totally wrong (even though their preferred mechanism of IRV doesn't get them there, either).

I think (without data, happy to be proven wrong) that the US population is fairly strongly bimodal on most issues. Many issues that people care a lot about (for better or worse...) have two clear centers of gravity,

e.g. for gun control and abortion most people are in the orbit of a "mostly ban" or "mostly allow" group, with very few people falling into some nuanced middle ground.

The problem with RCV is there's a big difference between giving an honest opinion and voting tactically.

In RCV it's safe to put your first choice first if either they're an overwhelming favorite to win, or they're so weak they're sure to get eliminated right away. If it's a close three-way election, you might cause your favorite candidate to lose by ranking them first. It's hard to develop any kind of intuition around how your vote will impact the race in these situations -- I think in the long run voters tend to learn that voting for third parties isn't safe, so two parties continue to dominate.
> What's the point of a gun buyback if they won't accept 3D printed guns?

It takes guns off the street that criminals actually use?

We'd probably decrease gun crime if we gave criminals garbage like this:

This is so backward. Professors can say all they want as long as it aligns with current ideology (you can say barbarous things about a dead queen, for example) but god-forbid you actually grade students and don't let them cheat or slide on assignments.... no, that is one bridge too far. I don't know what we're degenerating into, but definitely not into more competitiveness vis a vis our global competition.
> One obvious defense againt this dark art is to simply not trust anyone, ever - but this approach has consequent repercussions

The other obvious giant gaping downside is that you lose access to all of the true information you will get from most people who are not, in fact, bad actors. It's like gouging out your own eyes to save yourself from optical illusions.
Actually really cool. I wish it had a quick X to Y search. Japan to Hong Kong, for instance.

The same effects are seen with deep meditation, which is interesting because LSD may offer a faster path to neuroplasticity [0] and potentially some of the other meditation related benefits (stronger DNM/sense of self).

If what you say is true, then the only solution is to build a better performing culture for African Americans.

While this is obviously a controversial position, the solution can take multiple forms. One can say that even reverse discrimination is an effort to form a different cultural norms in a younger generation by elevating their economic position
Just in case for the someone who's genuinely curious about its possibility, it's very unlikely tied to vaccination since most of the blood clot/heart attack cases happen within several days after vaccination and these are already very rare. And we haven't observed any significant mid-term impacts as well. And I don't think Jung Gi had a recent vaccination since S. Korea's recent vaccination numbers are very low (a few thousand each day).
This is a frustratingly incorrect comment.

> but new features are part of libraries and included in versions 5+ years old easily

No. No they don't if you're not being completely disingenuous. Jetpack AppCompat style libraries backport app functionality that older Apple devices will get via OS updates in a strictly saner way than having to rely on a backport of a TextView...

OS-level functionality does not get backported and of course cannot come from library changes.

-

Some people who don't know better try to imply that iOS tying things like the mail app to the OS means that Android should be excused... Android does the same thing.

Gmail is not the Android built-in mail app, just like on iOS Gmail is an additional app that's shipped by Google. This is the Android Email app and it hasn't been updated in 3 years: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Emai...

Headline features like Assistant changes, privacy and permissions, and system UI overhauls don't end up on your old device either.

-

Android's update strategy has resulted in a hellscape where Google is forced to recommend supporting a 6 year old version of their OS (that doesn't get security updates anymore!) by default.

Missing nice-to-have features doesn't make iOS's approach any less infinitely better than the Android mess.

Hopefully we can eliminate lawns as a mainstream American concept. Landscaped pollinator gardens are so much easier to maintain, require less fertilizer and pesticides (and runoff), require less water, and are better to look at!
Probably in the minority here but I've recently had a better experience with nouveau than the proprietary nvidia driver on a laptop with the external video outputs wired to the nvidia gpu. The proprietary driver doesn't work well with sway, and recently nouveau got support for powering down the discrete gpu when not used, meaning I still get good battery life instead of it draining my battery ~4x as fast as with it disabled.

I think you have a different threshold for the word "prevent". Which is fine by me.
Well said, most podcasts I listen to these days I skip about five to seven minutes in to dispense with the chat and get to meat of the issue.
The Iron Pipeline is responsible for the vast majority of guns used in crimes in NY, which NY has virtually no power over. Guys going out of state and buying guns in private straw purchases to resell or trade on the market back in NY. This guy only shows how easily transporting guns across state lines is. The half solution has always been to regulate the private sell of guns (you have to do a background check in most states to buy a gun but not in a private sale) but even that is a half measure because if you did it private gun ownership "thefts" would skyrocket.
No; additionally, the conflation of rape with all boundary violation also makes it less likely for people who are victims to identify when they're being abused because abuse takes way more forms than sexual violence. Please consider the implications of such.

That said, that ATX4VC thing looks fantastic. I have recently restored a MSX computer back to life, but I think the power supply is unstable and crapping up when the machine warms up. It also contributes significant noise. Maybe it's time to replace with a modern PSU instead of spending time trying to fix the wimpy transformer-based PSU.

EDIT: I realize that cheap devices like this already existed. But this one seems to be much more complete (and trustworthy!). It's too bad that many printers use 24V rather than 12, otherwise this would be helpful for those scenarios too.

Same. "Perfect is the enemy of good" as they say.

The legal system can only be used to settle payment disputes when parties are known. Buying a tv from the back of a van going home to find out it doesn't work will leave you with little legal recourse. The legal system can only work with entities within it's power. Get ripped off from a foreign supplier can require a lawsuit if available to you in an unfriendly legal system. Cryto can solve these trustless entities problems.

Yes, but if learning X beforehand required learning Y, then we might be expecting the value of learning X to be the combined value of learning X + Y.

It should be noted when adopting this approach, that you're lowering the expected value from the people who make it through the funnel. This may be counteracted by more people making it through the funnel, or it may not. The delta in total value is completely unknown.

> I don't think anyone ever thought that the results of these events would be 1-for-1 removal of crime guns off the street.

I don't think I would've guessed it but apparently firearm deaths exceed motor vehicle traffic deaths in the US. Score one for auto safety. But regarding "stolen, found by kids, etc." -- there's lots of accidental deaths and injuries from kids finding guns. So I think you're right -- that's exactly the kind of thing buybacks help reduce.

Deaths per 100,000 population: 12.4

All firearm deaths
