Squashing and rebasing don’t fix the shitty commit message problem. Discipline and good teamwork do.

All to often in rebase+squash heavy repos I start going through the history and find the mega-commit that introduced a change and gain zero insight. In comparison, merge heavy repos have a lot of merge this, or fix this typo commits, that are fairly easy to skip right over when not pertaining to your actual change, but prove invaluable when the problem was introduced by some weird bad conflict resolution including a typo, or countless other problems where just all context is otherwise lost.

I think it’s unfair to characterize one group as not using the history, but instead represent differences in how groups use them. As an archaeologist vs daily change log perhaps is a better characterization?
>Lowering the volume does not equal introducing more dynamic range. It was just done to avoid clipping when pasting two bits of track on top of each other.

If you overlap two tracks, and reduce volume to avoiding clipping, the combined track has spikes in volume where they overlap. This is increased dynamic range. But like I said, it is not musically pleasant to listen to, and it's certainly reasonable to complain about it.

The housing costs in the Bay Area are primarily caused by 300k salaries from companies in the area. It's not going to crumble immediately, but I can imagine that if the (to-be-)recession drags on, there's be a downward pressure on both salary and housing prices (and other costs of living). Nobody is going to cut your pay in half, but those 8k/month rents are just a function of the demand (of housing) and supply (of money) in the area, not really a law of nature..

I’m likely misunderstanding what you said, but I thought pre-compiled headers were pretty much standard these days.
Whenever news like these are discussed here in HN I get flabbergasted by the amount of technical mumbo-jumbo you guys are able to throw around in the comments. It is genuinely impressive how much deep technical knowledge you have about this. I wonder if there is really no other place you could apply this? Like, what is the point of having all this deep technical knowledge about two hundred different fake coins (and their complex economic-engineering interplay) when there isn’t place in the real world even for the largest one?
Trust Thermocline: How Companies “Suddenly” Lose Customers and Employees
In recent years, deep learning has infiltrated every field it has touched, reducing the need for specialist knowledge and automating the process of knowledge discovery from data. This review argues that astronomy is no different, and that we are currently in the midst of a deep learning revolution that is transforming the way we do astronomy. We trace the history of astronomical connectionism from the early days of multilayer perceptrons, through the second wave of convolutional and recurrent neural networks, to the current third wave of self-supervised and unsupervised deep learning. We then predict that we will soon enter a fourth wave of astronomical connectionism, in which finetuned versions of an all-encompassing 'foundation' model will replace expertly crafted deep learning models. We argue that such a model can only be brought about through a symbiotic relationship between astronomy and connectionism, whereby astronomy provides high quality multimodal data to train the foundation model, and in turn the foundation model is used to advance astronomical research.
Yes. Emphatically yes.

It's not a fallacy because I'm not making an argument. I'm just noting that it should obviously be satire, but it isn't obvious. Musk has done a lot of things that are so ironic and hypocritical that the line between satire and reality is blurred.

IEMs can develop high pressures at low frequencies because the volume of air they are moving is very small. A compact car with the windows rolled up here is analagous to the ear canal in the IEM. If 50% of the internal space of the car is speakers (easily achievable if you remove the backseats and use the trunk space), then you ought to be able to generate large pressures at low frequencies as long as the windows are rolled up.

There is a difference between questionable management when your company consists of under 10 employees (aka ultra-startup mode) vs. when you are a large gamedev company under the umbrella of a massive publisher.

A lot of things can be more understandable when you are a single-digit employee count company running on a shoestring budget (which iD Software was at the time), especially when no intentional malice was present. It is another thing when you are a large dev company that has a massive financial backing of a massive publisher, and you appear to be intentionally malicious towards a single contributor who did nothing wrong and was instrumental to your success.

I love git, but I have to be honest about one thing: It's definitely hard on purpose and introduces hard on purpose features (and naming conventions) to weed out people.

rebasing and squashing and tracked/untracked. Yes they all have a place, but has anyone noticed with SVN it's just commit, merge and branches.

Would it be impossible to make git with svn's UI?

The argument in this case seems all kinds of weird. Basically, it seems to be that Amazon, by restricting third party sellers of Apple products from its marketplace, is somehow engaged in a horizontal price-fixing agreement with Apple. This is despite the fact that the only products whose produced by Apple are affected, are involved - which is sort of the definition of vertical price-fixing - and neither Amazon nor Apple control the prices of other vendors, only whether or not they're allowed on Amazon's platform - which is not in any case an exclusive channel for Apple products.

This is so wrong in its conclusion, that its hard to know where to start. First, we should be clear that we are talking about involuntary, undisclosed A/B testing.

I have not experienced a product become better for the user as a result of involuntary A/B testing in my entire adult life.

Producers and consumer have both an adversarial relationship and a mutually beneficial relationship, and the distinction between these two is essentially the split between voluntary A/B tests and involuntary ones. In the adversarial component, the producer is trying to figure out how to extract more money from the consumer, without improving the product. Alternatively, (and equivalently), how to make the product cheaper, but also worse, in a way that yhe customer doesnt notice (with their wallet). A proactive version of the "market for lemons".

For instance, if you A/B test your cancellation process to minimize the number of people who cancel their subscriptions, you will almost certainly do something that makes you some additional money, and is also unambiguously evil.

Any A/B testing that is mutual benefit to consumers and producers can be done with consent, by volunteers. And the miniscule amount of scientific rigor you would lose by doing so is not worth the tremendous sacrifice we have seen in quality of consumables in the past 2 decades (probably longer, but i do not have the personal experience to go longer)

You might be compelled to describe involuntary A/B testing as a strategy for maximizing evil subject to the constraint that it be legal, but it often dips its toes into seeing what is illegal but still profitable, and is capable of fundamentally undermining our legal system and even our political system.

The technology has grown more powerful. The addition of computers that can optimize essentially arbitrary objective functions has serious existential implications for humanity.

A blanket ban on the practice, incurring the total dissolution of any corporate entity found guilty of the practice of involuntary A/B testing, would be a start.

It isn’t a mandate. It is a condition for resupply.

High end sporting good brands are known for enforcing MSRP so the high end retailers have budget for sales people and demos. They cutoff supply to discount retailers to maintain good relationships with retailers.

REI would drop North Face in a second if North Face clothing was available at the TJMaxx next door. The relationship cuts both ways.
> It seem quite obvious to me that a DEX should be somewhere where there are cheap and fast transactions.

Interesting, I would have thought that Centralized exchanges would be cheaper and faster.

Cheaper because there are no block chain transaction fees. So assuming a DEX and CEX can charge the same fee structure, then CEX's should win as there is no exchange fee added to each transaction.

On chains like ETH that matters alot if you trade alot.

And same for speed. On a CEX a trade is a database update, on a DEX its a blockchain update. Hard to see how the later can be as fast as the former.
Yeah, basically you should be doing all your DEX trades on L2 rollups. Use the security of Ethereum without paying the large gas fees.
> What killed literary culture? The Internet is the most obvious, salient answer, and in particular the dominance of social media, which is in effect its own genre—and, frequently, its own genre of fiction. Almost everyone will admit that their own social media profiles attempt to showcase a version of their best or ideal selves, and, thinking of just about everyone I know well, or even slightly well, the gap between who they really are and what they are really doing, and what appears on their social media, is so wide as to qualify as fiction. Determining the “real” self is probably impossible, but determining the fake selves is easier, and the fake is everywhere. Read much social media as fiction and performance and it will make more sense.

Saw you're getting downvoted. Here is a quote from the article that should explain what you're saying in detail.

"The current prevailing theory, Dr. Hellerstein said, is that chronic stress can cause the loss of connections — called synapses — between cells in the hippocampus and other parts of the brain, potentially leading to depression. Antidepressants are now thought to work at least in part by helping the brain form new connections between cells. Researchers aren’t exactly sure how increasing serotonin with an S.S.R.I. causes these synapses to regrow. One possibility is that the medications also increase levels of other brain chemicals, called growth factors, that help those connections form and spread."

The edits described in the article have no mention of additional dynamic range compression. The music in the OST is described as "normalized" to 0dBFS, which means simply adjusting the gain. This suggests that the dynamic range was already compressed (which is not unreasonable for game audio, because it will make the sound effects easier to hear).

I've now collected several different creators who are one both platforms, and without exception I prefer their content on YouTube over TikTok. You just can't compare the quality level expected for youtube to tiktok. On Youtube, if you want any views at all, you pretty much MUST have a high quality HD camera (some modern phones now count), a good microphone, good presentation, there was most likely a script written out and edited, there will often be diagrams or explanations or rationalizations for many parts, there will be digging into details basically.

Physically speaking, TikTok videos CANNOT do anything but be extremely shallow "Fast Fact" videos that just make a claim, with no evidence, no reasoning, no verification, just a "Hey I'm me and I say I'm someone and this is a factoid and either believe me or don't". These videos are great for addiction, because if you are gullible for those kinds of factoids you will love an endless barrage of dopamine inducing "Facts" that you can repeat at the next party you attend.

Youtube has similar "Factoid" videos but you will also find 20 minute short form essays rebutting those factoids with demonstrations, evidence, citations, etc. You simply can't rebut a 1 minute claim in a 1 minute video in a way that laypeople should be convinced by. It's weaponization of "It's harder to debunk that spout nonsense"
The insurer is a corporation with its own financial statements, so it's pretty easy to see if it's operating at a loss (and thus subsidising the banking industry) or at a profit (not subsidising it). I guess you didn't know that either.
Probably just making them aware of it. But I can give a slightly longer spiel:

Commits in git are immutable. They're identified by their hash, so they have to be. What's more they have the hash of the previous commits so the whole chain back to the first commit can't be changed. You can only add new chains.

As a consequence, if your main branch points to commit abc123 and your feature branch points to commit def456 then it doesn't matter if you merge, cherry pick, rebase or dance the fandango, if you point those branches back to those commits, the branches must by necessity look identical to the way they looked before you did anything.

And you can find out where they used to point in the reflog.
If you contacts overseas and enough volume you can often move various electronics for a decent margin. It's pretty involved though.

One of the routes I'm aware of involves buying gift cards from Kroger with a high cash back credit card during their frequent events where they offer extra fuel points on purchases. They don't charge activation fees on gift cards, and you can sell the fuel points accounts somewhat under the table on eBay, and then pocket the cash back from your credit card. Then you wait til black Friday or other sales, use the gift cards to buy electronics at discounted prices, and then ship them overseas to sell for a decent markup. It involves floating tens of thousands of dollars for several months though so not quite for your average individual just trying to make some quick cash.

A bit of an odd article by AFP and very odd statement by Michael Bloomberg.

"Clean energy investment in Africa is at an alarming low level," Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire philanthropist and former New York mayor, said in a statement.

"Changing that requires new levels of collaboration to identify viable clean energy projects and bring more private financing and public support to them," said Bloomberg, who is also the UN chief's special envoy on Climate Ambition and Solutions.

Comparing investment by continent doesn’t make any sense at all. There aren’t fixed target numbers for planet Earth written in the stars, split per continent.

Investment depends on availability of investment opportunities per region, which can fluctuate YoY, and they definitely don’t fluctuate in sync between all regions. These in turn are linked to actual on the ground conditions.

I don't think lines of code is much better an estimate of commit complexity than it is of productivity. I could make a 1,000 line change by changing the signature of something that gets called a lot, but that's essentially atomic. I could make a 200 line change by sightly updating 100 totally unrelated functions and that's probably totally nuts.

I don't think existential risk is so far in the future. Climate change and nuclear holocaust remain urgent threats, and need to be dealt with first, obviously.

Just because my first priority is survival doesn't mean I have no other priorities - in general, I think society functions better with more "catch up" mechanics and fewer "win more" mechanics. I am not entirely convinced a "post scarcity" society can be achieved in real life, wonderful SF stories notwithstanding, and indeed if it could be achieved it might have disasterous consequences.

Consider the case of FTL flight. An FTL drive would solve this problem. But, it would also make possible doomsday weapons that would inevitably be used against whole planets. In the same way, post-scarcity implies that nothing will be scarce, including really bad things. My conservative believe is that solving our problems are going to be very difficult, from a political and engineering standpoint, and there will be no magic bullet. So: gird yourself for some messy, hard work!
We aren't that thin skinned, we didn't want to be in the EU, but most don't hate it. Also its a 'region' not a political statement.
