Local History is hidden in the File Menu and does not have a shortcut. It is one of the most useful features in the Jetbrains editors, so I set Alt+Z as a keyboard shortcut (because Ctrl+Z is undo), which after a few years of using it still seems like a good idea.

One point that is missing from your description is that it always shows the previous state in the diff view, which also feels really natural to use (I only sometimes whish the diff markers were more distinguishable from the inspection and ToDo markers).

I think three degrees of warming is unavoidable at this point. The massive coordination and effort it would take to avoid that seems like wishful thinking at best. I still hope I'm pleasantly surprised here, but I'm skeptical.

It's going to come down to mitigating, and that might mean different things in different places.

I think there will be some amount of geo-engineering to cool the poles and avoid some of the sea level rise and permafrost melting. There will also be some active carbon removal, but we also will not reach zero emissions either. That may mostly balance out, or reach "net zero".

There will also likely be a slow migration away from low lying coastal areas, as well as seawall construction.
Ruby is developed in a English community. People communicate in English. That makes a difference.
Yes, disclaimer, or necessary predefense here? ;)
Looking at rust, wanting to play with it, liking it very much from what I have seen, to some degree... still it also seems to develop some complexity problems, and is it fully stable in regard to language now? Can we take it to a certification body already?
Or will it also become the next C++ with the later on-boltings? Anyway..

> “C++ is fine, you just need to do things the modern way and avoid making any mistakes”

I know I will be burned now, but:
Which is kind of true if you stick to modern C++ (>11) .. and if you do that (maybe enforced by a style checker or some new cpp standard setting?) you even strip out the "avoid making any mistakes". Again, fully admitted, C++ is kind of a grown and ugly language, with many holes that you could use if you don't systemically forbid them.. but if it just would make real step to enforce / deprecate with a safe-strict-standard all the bad old C/C++ heritage and there'd be something like an enforced safe-C++, I think it would not be too far away from Rust..

.. because I lately read a Rust paper "Safe Systems Programming in Rust" and what did I needed to read there?:
"There are a number of data types whose implementations fundamentally depend on shared mutable state and thus cannot be type-checked according to Rust’s strict ownership discipline. To support such data types, Rust embraces the judicious use of unsafe code encapsulated within safe APIs." (and more schizophrene explanations how we still can do everything in Rust, but are safe follow..)

If that is the case, then this is really not too far away from safe&modern-C++, where you only touch the unsafe parts for hard to find last bits of performance?

Especially, and hear me out .. what I'm not getting is consider the typcal embedded/automotive and similar applications, which usually run single threaded and without any dynamic memory allocation and by that already exclude all of the data-race and other problems. You are basically left with bounds-checking on arrays and similar buffers, and you can really, no you will have that if you use modern C++?

I'm really confused more than ever :) .. but the rust complexity curve does not seem to be only high for the devs, but also for the orgs who require standardization&certification. Hope that will follow now, and also some way to completely abandon unsafeness completely in Rust before we put it so high up the throne? and plea

Haven't we seen any Rust security issues because there is so little software out with it? If some memory unsafeness in some Rust program happens, will we always hear then Rust is safe, this was just unsafe code (like today it was all every time the hacker's fault?? :D )
Interesting. I haven't seen this in the areas I've lived in. I wonder if it's more of a "big fish" type thing, where people that are the "big fish" in an area tend to tip worse (and expect people to be impressed / overly thankful when they tip well). If you're in a small area, people that are wealthy may very well map to the people that consider themselves to be the big fish. For areas with a higher population, being wealthy is much more common, so doesn't really mark one as "special" in the same way.
I am facing sort of a similar problem. I recently joined a $BIGTECH company. I work in the business development / product management area in technical capacity. Think of my role as a technical advisor, solutions architect or mini CTO to help my company's partners to build products together. Lately I have observed that a lot of folks I deal with at my $BIGTECH company as well as partner companies don't really do any real work. They attend meetings and sometimes they have update which basically is 'i am working on it'. The inflated titled executives (VP of strategy, Sr. director for finance industry etc) from partner companies just update a couple of words on 2 year old slide decks all day long and don't have tangible deliverable for months to show for. They don't have any valuable feedback on other's work. The partner companies I deal with are with 10k+ employees and these folks are supposed to be senior leaders thinking about 3, 5, 10 years vision. It's very demotivating to see people around me are either mediocre or not working at all. My work depends on they doing their job well and its stressful for me to deal with this. I feel like wasting my work-life just pretending.

I quit my previous job at another $BIGTECH company due to similar problem where people didn't want to work.

Is this a new thing since pandemic that people don't want to do real work? Or it was always like that.

I was a consultant for the last 15 years before becoming a full time bigtech employee a few years ago. I didn't have visibility into inner workings of tech companies.

I think I should do something of my own. But don't know what it should be.

Of course one can envision many handy uses for remote attestation that would benefit individual users! Web 2.0 also had many technical advantages over local software - there are certainly reasons why it got adopted.

But focusing on positive uses is naive and fallacious - the criticism is based on the downside of the inevitable negative uses when the device keys are recorded by manufacturers to create a root of trust that arbitrary third parties can abuse. The problem is that the technical capability also puts those end users at the mercy of large commercial actors specifying that the user's computer is "secure" from their centralized-corporate perspectives. Over time, that will inevitably ratchet into ever-more locked down computing forced onto end users. You can already see this dynamic with "SafetyNet" on Android, which destroys users' ability to exercise the purported Freedom of Android regardless of the source code being available.
I feel you may be a bit more optimistic than I am about how many people will pay to use Notado once the free beta ends. ;)

It's not something I've thought extensively about. I imagine the worst case scenario (outside of having to comply with legal orders) would be having to disable public feeds for somebody, but I'm not too comfortable getting into specifics based on hypotheticals at this point. Hopefully I'll never have to cross that bridge, but if I do, I'll cross it when I come to it.
> As far as the time investment required to get an ID to vote; if a person isn't willing to spend some time to make sure they can legally vote, do you think they will spend the time to make an informed vote? It's a pipe dream but I would prefer that everyone who votes does so while making an informed decision about who/what they are voting for.

There’s a difference between being uninformed and not having time to potentially travel long distances without a personal car and stand in line for a while. We’re talking about a constitutional right so we can’t just say it’s no big deal because the alternative costs more - it has to work for people who are disabled, have childcare responsibilities, are too poor to own a car, etc.

I’m not opposed to a voter ID requirement but there’s no evidence that it would be more than a symbolic gesture. Even so, I’d go for it as long as we pony up the cash to do it fairly by making ID cards easy for anyone to get so the only people without ID would be the religious nuts who think it’s the mark of the beast.

The watermelons in the article are some of the earliest precursors of the sweet watermelons we eat most commonly today but were probably bitter and might have had inedible if unprocessed/less palatable interior pulp like many of the current ones found across Africa.
Act 60 seems like a limited tax incentive scheme. I'm referring to the general clause that income of Puerto Rican residents sourced in PR is not subject to personal income tax. From your linked source:

> The U.S. tax code (Section 933) allows a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico to exclude Puerto Rico-source income from his or her U.S. gross income for U.S. tax purposes.

Or there's more on the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Puerto_Rico#Federa...
I think the difference is that it feels almost attainable, although for most of us it isn't. I'm a software developer, I can write code and build systems. In theory I could get these compensations if I worked harder. What's keeping me from making that much is 1) I'm not in the US 2) I can't pass faang interviews.

Nonetheless it feels within reach. Unlike being the child of a billionaire. Hence the disconnect.
> A readymade exciting, fun-filled work environment - the culture aspect.....Infact big companies struggle to create exciting culture for new age employees even with dedicated team and funds.

Isn't the prevailing narrative about the current tech layoffs that there were simply too many of these types of employees and not enough productive ones?

WeWork is failing because their most profitable customers are the big corps that buy space from them, not the broke startups and hustlepreneurs that these spaces are marketed towards.
I surely hope not, learning English is much much easier than Mandarin for a good 60% of the world : anyone speaking a language using the latin alphabet so most of Europe + America North and South + a good chunk of Africa.
Even in countries where the main language is not using the Latin alphabet, it is very common to speak English or French.

People might not have much of an option because English is there de facto, but learning English is much much better than having to learn both English and Mandarin
I believe you have a good understanding of the nuances here. But I also believe that the nuances can be used by career hungry folks at the relevant agencies to bring bogus cases against companies almost at will (current case against Meta is an example) and any extra power granted (or taken) is a bad thing.
I wish that was the case. The biggest software risk to companies I have worked at are not the NSA or memory safety. It's their own product management and development staff competence.

You can leave a whale sized implementation hole in the finest of Rust applications!

I’m kidding, but only a bit: the (in hindsight, reasonable) lesson of the Pijul paper[1] is that if you want to do the most general merge and (therefore) avoid any arbitrary choices, you’re forced to extend your model from consistent files as sequences to files potentially containing conflicts as DAGs (or something even more complicated if you have data more complex than a single flat sequence or edits other than insertions). Or you can very carefully make a consistent set of arbitrary choices, like implementations of operational transformation usually do.

Yes. Feel the same. There is a story in the bible where workers are perfectly content working a full day at a vineyard until they find out other guys got the same wage for only a few hours a day. So it is an ancient problem of the human condition. My only consolation is there are many more people who DON'T like the work they do, and get paid a lot less.

FTX collapse, Tether have links to infamous online-poker cheating scandals
Couldn't agree more with the join statement. Working on a data heavy SaaS, we've looked to overhaul our database for almost a year now, and Clickhouse hits every nail on the head for our needs except this. Most OLAP databases, and especially Clickhouse, seem to suffer from the syndrome of being structurally incompatible with relational data - understandably enough for mostly columnar databases, but still have rather weak solutions to bridge the gap. The author talks about an AP/TP hybrid being the industry killer, and it seems to ring true if we measure success on the profitability of the products that will be built on it. Data is where the money is, but not in end result data like IoT performance metrics / generally 1-dimensional data etc but in the intersections of high volumes of data. This ends up giving you two options right now if you're building in this space; A. very expensive and slow/tedious feature building on OLTP databases with lots of preprocessing or B. low cost, high performance but limited in features on OLAP.

Lol, I had the 'pleasure' in 2018 to hang around a WeWork location in Berlin for a couple of months, and it was indeed a full broadside of the cliché 'startup culture' one would expect. Might be quite interesting from an anthropologist's point-of-view, but definitely not what I would describe as an 'exciting and fun-filled environment', on the opposite, I'd have a hard time coming up with a more shallow and depressing workplace.

You can't have it both ways - but of course they want to.

The Price-Anderson Nuclear Indemnity Act shifts the risk of nuclear accidents onto the tax payers. In return, the industry accepts regulations. Tell the nuclear industry that we're taking away your insurance caps and they'll say "we can't stay in business".
Interesting that the stories about disrespectful behavior are always a friend of a friend and not the medical students themselves. I suspect a majority of these second hand stories of casual disrespect are a combination of a game of telephone and unreliable narrative bluster from young medical students confronting their own mortality for possibly the first time in their lives. Every story from someone with direct experience seems to be respectful.
i still can't get over the fact that FTX CEO took his customers money to fund his gambling firm.
Right. But (1) The Big Short was not a very good movie, and (2) it was about the collapse of the entire housing market. This is about the collapse of an abstract metaPonzi scheme.
The only possible solution four decades ago was nuclear, and even then it was only a partial solution, and which people oppose for illogical reasons. The story now is much more hopeful. I also hope nuclear can be a part of it, but I think battery advances are more likely to beat it to the starting line.
These donations were pretty clearly part of a forward-play on having a prominent seat at the table for writing regulations, it’s not really a secret that they were planning to try to starve out Binance through crypto regulation.

Also while it’s kind of a thing to buy influence to the legislative process, buying your way out of justice isn’t really. There’s way too much apparatus outside of electoral politics. FTX wasn’t investigated because what were they going to be investigated for, it’s an unregulated offshore financial outfit with no signs of distress until it went boom, like most “Ponzi schemes”.

GDPR core is pretty simple: You cannot do stuff (process, store, transfer to third parties) with PII unless X condition is met. An internet site, on first visit (being genuine first visit or just cookieless visit) cannot do things with PII, because there is just no way to even tell if X is met, therefore not only data storage (IP address in Apache access logs included) is illegal, but moreso transfer to third party via CDNs and what not.

GDPR is ugly. The only thing it allows you to do before you get confirmation to process PII is to show static page requesting for permissions. That's basically it. You can't do any "cloudy" stuff prior.
True or not, "reliability bordering on childproof" can be a compelling sales pitch. And reputation is bound by recall, of whuch Arduino has plenty: brand X might have the best reputation imaginable amongst those in the know, but if you aren't in the know and you haven't ever heard of X all that reputation won't affect you. For all you know, X could be terrible. If there's another brand Y you have heard of, and only half of what you heard was negative, brand Y has at least some reputation (the non-negative half) positively affecting you.

That's the basic mechanism of why so much advertisement is just about brand awareness, not talking about quality at all: "I've heard a lot about them, and not everything has been bad" is less bad than "never heard about them, even if they were really terrible I wouldn't know"
