Interesting. So it would translate between them whenever you push to or pull from a Git repo?

I'm very keen to use Sapling if it's basically a polished interface to Git but less keen if it's an entirely different object model, because then I'm going to have to learn more about what's going on under the hood to understand it properly.
"Evil" is not the world I would (or did) use. And as I said: there are lots of places that buck the trend; I'm glad you live in one.

For every place like yours, there are suburbs like the ones that most of my friends grew up in: ones where everybody drives in and out, where sidewalks exist primarily as a vessel for dogwalking, and nothing can be reached on foot (parks or basic living amenities).
I did Montessori though 4th grade. Moving to public school in 5th grade was a shock because, while I had been doing algebra self-directed, I never memorized my multiplication tables. I really resented being forced to memorize lists that I could just look up in a table (though I would freely memorize other things). So when I got into 5th grade, I failed all my math tests. I decided that didn't feel good, so I memorized those really fast. :)

In retrospect, I am really glad I moved a bit earlier, because I think going straight from Montessori to 7th grade (junior high there) would have been a big jump. Moving over while still in elementary school eased that. But that was me and my situation.
Given the choice, I would much rather live in North Carolina than New Jersey so that makes sense. Everyone I know who lived in Jersey at any point lived there because they had to, or because they were already established. Not because all things being equal they would choose to be there.
The police exercise their discretion when it comes to enforcing the law all the time.

Outside of incredibly particular offenses, "It's the law, I have to enforce it, I have no choice" is just an excuse.

Some caravans have the spare in a strange place under the middle of the van, and you might not find it unless you read the owners manual a couple times while scratching your head saying "wait, it's there?" Later vans had no spare at all from the factory. It's very common these days for vehicles to come without a spare. The fact that many people don't realize this is exactly why they do it.
For entry-level ... yes?

Amazon isn't selective in hiring L4s, it hires some people who simply can't code and PIP them in next 6 months.

It is just how Amazon chooses to operate.

Good ones are still there though, just varies very big from team to team, org to org.

And I agree with sys42590, that it is very hard to change habits of other people, when you accustomed them for something free.

Definitely Musk's fault he bought it.

It sounds like the made the initial offer without due diligence and then realized what he was buying and it was too late.

It's just there's this bizarre reaction to all this that everyone at Twitter was awesome and Twitter was on fire executing flawlessly and making huge money.

In reality it sounds like it was a company not expecting much of it's team, not making much money, and stuck with leadership team that didn't know what to do.

Meanwhile everyone is knee jerk defending everything about Twitter because they think Musk is going to turn it into a MAGA social network. Maybe he is. That doesn't mean the company was perfect before he bought it.
You're misinterpreting the purpose of the article. It's not saying that the epidemic wasn't real, it's arguing that calling it an "epidemic" implies that there is more autism than there was previously. While they posit that it's simply due to better diagnosis.

There are not more people with autism. There are more people that have been diagnosed. Those are different things and calling it an "epidemic" implies that it's the former.
I'd imagine it's under FBI scrutiny, which is more useful.
I'd be interested in seeing if there's a YT video out there of a WPF expert doing just that.

It was definitely pre-2000. First “SoA” firm I worked for, I started at in 99, and they had been doing it for 2 years already and most of the crew brought if from a prior gig.
Sometimes. And in past jobs that's how I justified myself, sure I'm not hands on keyboard all the time but I'm "on" 95+% of my awake time.

This company's policy is the clock is only running if you're 100% engaged. I try to stick with that. As time has gone on I've gotten better about mentally turning the switch more all the way on/all the way off. There's some grey area on both sides that I figure comes out in the wash. And if I have a serendipitous moment, it's not hard to turn the clock back on and have at it.

It'd also look more different if the billing increment was wider. In a very past life I billed at 15 minute intervals. So if I was "on" for 12 minutes but stepped away to clear my head, the full 15 was billed.

It would be nice to have more consumer advocacy and information in this area. I have had two travel insurance claims and they were both like butter, I easily recovered my extra costs. I stuck with that company, but now their COVID rider doesn't seem very good, so I went with another for an upcoming strip. Some offer "for any reason" upgrades... yeah, it's complicated and not a very friendly place to buy products or understand what they cover.
Orthodoxy has never been my strong suit.

I have a pragmatic take on this if only because of Python's ease of throwing a script together and its non-technical userbase. Were it something that effects correctness I'd more fully support this break of backwards compat.

Isn't BPF execution constraints intentionally very tight, 4096 instruction, 512 bytes of stack, limited control flow? I don't think it's currently usable to implement general purpose drivers. Only reason it could work for HID drivers is because a lot of them are doing nothing more than very simple byte substitution either in device descriptor or the actual data reports. So I am not too worried about closed source driver.
I would really like to see this implemented for a steam deck or steam controller, where you can change it from keyboard&mouse to game controller, or change button bindings on the fly from user-space while loading different games or applications.

Currently steam is required to change the controller configuration...
Well, part of the problem is our infrastructure choices over the past many decades. When you build suburbs that are very isolated from places you need to go and then need to drive to literally everything you do, nearly everyone starts viewing normal activities like walking to a grocery store as abnormal. As a result, kids can’t actually go anywhere until they turn 16 and get a car. :/

There are a lot of excellent videos about this sad problem, like this: https://youtu.be/oHlpmxLTxpw

But at the end of the day, when it’s not actually possible to be independent every day, you just loose this culture. And countries that made different infrastructure and development decisions 6 decades ago are in a much better place today — it doesn’t have to be this way.
Level 2 connectors are only rated to ~19kw[1] so I imagine that must have had it's own custom connector, and I don't particularly see the 80amp chargers becoming particularly common for home use, newer homes generally only have a 200amp main breaker, so 2 of those would take 100% of your continuous power load [2]. I have a 48amp charger and if I need faster than that I go to one of the local fast chargers and worst case wander around a store for 15/20 minutes.

[1] 80amps at 240v, at least in the US, not sure about the type 2 connector used in EU

[2] code in the US says you should only draw 80% of the rated current if the load is continuous
Car-centric Suburbanization is the root of almost all problems faced by the US today.

Of course, nothing is monocausal. But if it were, that faulty would be 'car centric suburbia'.
A "Relative utilitarian take" is not how it would describe a product that tried to incorporate an entire chat app into it.

They had a relatively good product around v5X series and I left because they just started to fragment and add more and more non-notetaking related things at the expense of the entire product stability and core functionality.
Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I really hope you're doing ok and seek appropriate mental health support. Don't fret over the ranking of companies - we're all dead and forgotten in a few generations anyways. This is true for every Google and Netflix engineer in existence.
My understanding is that they didn't leave right away, but rather held off on committing to purchasing advertisements in advance until they could speak with him and learn about his plans.

Building Sustainable Companies – A Guide for Open Source Startups
Sure, a major recession would typically but not always be expected to reduce inflation. That's far from "equating" as I understand the definition of the word. It's surprising but not reality-defying that this one might not, which is why this article is interesting, rather than boring or impossible.

And "gaslight"? What?
If immutability is a part of the language, then the compiler and the runtime know about it.

This way:

- passing an object around can always be by reference, since no one can change it

- depending on structures used, for changed bits you don't need to copy the entire structure, but simply shift pointers to old data or new data

- garbage collection can become trivial, and granular, since you know exactly what's new and old, and shifting data around becomes just moving pointers around (again, depends on implementation and optimisations)

There are downsides if you are not careful, of course:

- creating a bunch of new data that references old data will run out of memory, but this doesn't happen as often as you would think.

- sending data between processes/threads may result in copying that data (depends on implementation)

However, the upside is quite good: your data never changes under you. That is a call to func(data) doesn't sneakily change data. And all data becomes trivially thread-safe without mutexes or race conditions.
Where are they common? I don't think they're anywhere to be found in any major metropolitan area, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

The [Fine] Article

> We should make it clear to those involved that it's not acceptable (we should try to punish them), and we should try to help aggrieved parties.

Here, we agree. But when you cite statistics in the manner you did, you're arguing against cloistering myself and my child in our home, quaking in fear of the improbable: beating on a straw-man.

If you re-read the last line of my first comment, you may notice that the "law and order" mentality that I'm railing against is fear-based governance. We have equipped and trained our police to be paramilitary forces that are nearly unaccountable for their misbehavior: a resounding success of fear-based governance. De-escalating the cycle of violence requires vacating fear-based governance -- convincing the police to over-react less, convincing citizens to call the authorities less; convincing voters to react to broken windows with investment in fixing windows rather than jail time and extrajudicial killings. And in the meantime, we need to hold people accountable for perpetrating administrative violence against innocent people like in TFA.
> The actions of the neighbor is something we can't control for, because we can't control the attitudes and behaviors of people. We can only influence them to some degree.

I agree, but this is perfectly consistent with what I said. Not every adult meets the requirements for an adult citizen in a civil society. That doesn't mean those requirements don't exist.

> What we can control is the law, and law enforcement response.

To the extent this is true, it does not preclude also expecting adult citizens to be reasonable. Indeed, the more we can count on that, the less people will feel the need to invoke the law. Which makes it much easier to make the law more reasonable.
There are not enough places to fill a natural gas car. I know of a few, if you buy a natural gas car you plan all trips around filling up - and a lot of trips you have to reject.

For every public natural gas pump I know of, I know of 50 public EV chargers. Plus in the worst case you can plug an EV into a regular outlet (overnight you can get enough range to get someplace with a faster charger).
I agree that we've destroyed all of the third spaces. It's also important to point that those that didn't literally get razed to the ground have been monetized. There are very few third spaces left that are free to engage with. There's either the real threat of "buy something or get out," or the social expectation to do so. This impacts teens especially so because their money must either come from their parents ie: "Mom can I have five dollars to spend on going to <place> with <friend>?" which is an impediment to spending real relationship building time with peers or they have to get a job to earn such money which precludes them from going out in the first place.

As a footnote: Yes, I know this seems fairly reductive and there's a lot of nuance left on the table. A single counter example won't change my mind because I'm talking about tendencies instead of black or white expression.
I'll note that this comment assumes standardized education was somehow better in the past. We all have specific memories of being inspired by a teacher or something but that seems like a happy accident more than anything intentional.

The universal education system we have today was never meant to "inspire learning" or anything similar. It was designed as a vaccine for illiteracy across a handful of subjects. I would argue it continues to deliver on that goal quite well (all things considered).

As someone who never attended, what Montessori offers is more the University-style inspiration and idea of learning for the sake of learning. This sounds amazing for the right people but I find it unlikely it could ever be universal.

Students who go to Montessori will have parent who believe in education in one way or another. The students will learn these values from their parents and so there's an inherent selection bias in the attendees and the positive outcomes.

However, education is not universally valued across our society. Public school exists for everyone to hit that minimum literacy bar.

What would be great is something like Montessori for every student who wants it. A different style of school universally available for the families that value it.
Your comment made me cry.
Email round one: individually-watermarked copies are delivered to individually-addressed individuals. More elaborate systems might watermark such emails en-route, though that's ... less likely. A and B each wind up with individually-identifying copies of the email.

Email round two: A REPLIES ALL to their individually-watermarked copy of the email, delivering it to ALL employees (or some nontrivially large sample), by which B AND EVERY OTHER RECIPIENT now contains A's watermarked copy.

Email round three: B OR ANY OTHER RECIPIENT OF A's REPLY ALL can now leak A's watermarked copy of the email. Watermarking NO LONGER identifies the leaker.

What incentivizes people to spend their Bitcoin today (whether as a business expense or for their cost of living) rather than holding on to them until tomorrow, getting richer passively?

Would lending be allowed in your model? If so, what makes it different from the status quo (fractional reserve banking and ultimately debt becoming money itself)? If not, how do I start a business or purchase a home without the lump sump required to do so under my pillow?

How do you adapt the monetary base to increased or decreased production capacity in a world based on the Bitcoin standard?

Not every fundamentally broken economic model is an innovation, and just because everybody tells its proponents so does not make this idea some kind of underdog stroke of genius.
Outlook Meeting Analytics
Is there any analytics available out of the box in MS outlook. The idea is with covid + being a middle manager in large organization, the only thing that I get to do is attend meetings. With back to back meetings, I hardly get any time to either write agendas or minutes.

Is there a way I can present a weekly stats to stakeholders in
a) number of hours in a week I have spent in meetings.
b) number of hours various team members have spent in meetings.

I am not against meetings, but too much of everything is bad. But I do not have any stats to show "what is that too much".
Are you suggesting Bezos didn't earn that money yet? That he still owes some duty or service in exchange for the money he's already received? At what point can he say he's actually "earned" that money and can spend it in whatever way he pleases?

doesn't the watermarking strategy require each recipient to have their own unique copy?

That is indeed the precise and exact point.
Ideally? That holographic interface Tony Stark uses. I would settle for a combination of SolidWorks and Visual Basic. SoldWorks to model and visualize the whole thing, pick it apart, run it. Visual Basic to assemble DCOM objects, add simple logic, design an interface. Export/import SolidWorks models and connect them to new models to re-use a whole "machine". Keep a corporate library of "machines", import one to do what you need, fork it and make a new one if it doesn't do what you want.

Can you show examples of this? I haven't heard this. Many have heard or know Twitter was losing money. Stuff like losing $4M/day have been said by friends who aren't in tech.

Twitter being on fire flawlessly is definitely not something that is said much. Nor being perfect.

That's a bit of an extreme made up example, which wouldn't be very representative of the common case, but I'll entertain it. Just keep in mind what's true of an extreme edge case, is not necessarily true of the common case, and you can't extrapolate like that.

Say there was a 100 billion yacht, it still served as a means to redistribute flow of funds to others. Those engineers, material extractors, workers, staff, all that contributed to people being given some of that money.

This goes towards creating an economy, and good economies can sustain countries and lift many people out of poverty, saving many lives.

Creating a demand for people's labor and resources helps with creating an economy.

This isn't money wasted, the money went to many people, it was a way to redistribute the money to others.

So I don't see the harm at all, at least not from a financial standpoint, you could argue about environmental harm though.

Now what about opportunity cost? Sure, maybe that 100 billion could have been used in ways that redistribute it more evenly, more fairly, or to people who needs the money most, or towards an endeavor that has longer term uplifting outcomes, etc, there might be a better use, though it becomes hard to figure out what use is truly better.

The way I see it, there's two dimensions:

- Redistributing money, who gets it? Split amongst how many people?

- Potential for future returns, is the money spent in a way that gives people the means to produce more?

The yacht definitely redistributes money, but maybe you disagree about the distribution of it, who got the money.

Arguably the yacht could bring future returns. Creating a demand for engineers pushed more people into engineering, now more people have the engineering know how, they go on to use that to build other projects, creating an infrastructure that others can then leverage to make other things more efficient and build on top, etc.

Basically, I just don't think it's as black and white as you claim, even in this extreme example.
>As GI Joe says, "Knowing is half the battle".

Not really disagreeing (and this really is a fantastic channel), but in wellness circles this is called the "GI Joe Fallacy"[1]. The idea being that knowing about something really is a tiny part of actually solving it. Most people are very aware of their problems, and simple awareness isn't very helpful.

To put it in more startup-y terms, success comes from 1% ideas and 99% execution.
I'm confused too. You can add regex patterns for both filenames and test names in Jest to run only the tests you want in watch mode. This tool just makes it so you don't have to input that configuration? Doesn't seem like a huge value add.
For my personal scripts that need databases, I mostly use SQLite. If I need to browse one of them I'll use TablePlus, but that's rare.

A couple of my older scripts still use JSON files on disk that are loaded into memory, which are actually perfectly fast for the purpose (fast enough that I see no perceptible difference between them and SQLite).
