> Both are mothers of important figures ... and that's where the similarities come from.

But not where they end.

Using a Jungian (or gnostic/mystic) analytical framework, Isis and Mary represent the 'pure ground of emergence', and their son, 'the redeemer/the chosen'. This then is an inherent 'constellation' of human 'collective unconscious' that cyclically re-emerges as epochs change, taking on the garb reflecting the new cultural matrix.

The mystic/spiritual idea expressed is this: by purifying one's mind (Mary the chaste) there emerges a new center of conscious mind (the Son) who is 'guided and chosen' by God (i.e the Universal Mind). This 'son' is "persecuted" and "killed" but resurrects (Jesus and Osiris).

It's bloat to devs who just want to write code. You're kinda confirming the point I was trying to make. Anyone on that list performs an important role at a company of their scale.

I'm currently the first and sole architect on a product that was built by only devs. I really know why I exist.
Up until recently 100% office work was the norm. It still is for most people. Many employers are quite adamant about it, not just Elon.

40 hours per week is also known as the standard work week. A bog standard j-o-b. Those are not reasonable examples of any sort of toxicity.

If these painfully regular employment terms are not competitive with other offers nobody is forced to pick twitter as their employer.

> but I don't see how replacing it with another form of toxic work culture is to be celebrated.

Walk on by. Find a company more suited to your temperament that will give you the pay and perks you think you deserve.

I don't know how stupid this is on a scale from 1 to 10. I've created a wrapper [1] for git (called "shit", for "short git") that converts non-padded revisions to their padded counterpart.

Examples:

"shit show 14" gets converted to "git show 00000140"

"shit log 10..14" translates to "git log 00000100..00000140"

Going by Bitfinex'ed, FTX was a money laundering front for Tether/Bitfinex, replacing Reginald Fowler. Also supposed (though it appears purely speculation) is that FTX was killed because it was about to create its own stablecoin.
Rebasing is a tool of last resort, when something has so fowled up the code that merging a large-scale refactor is even more time consuming.

Rebasing takes longer and is actually more prone to error because of the clunky interface. There is absolutely nothing wrong with squashing commits in a feature branch and merging that into master/main. In fact, it's generally better for the health of the repo and the mental health of developers.
Mercurial always has had sequential revision numbers in addition to hashes for every commit.

They aren't perfect, of course. All they indicate is in which order the current clone of the repo saw the commits. So two clones could pull the commits in different order and each clone could have different revision numbers for the same commits.

But they're still so fantastically useful. Even with their imperfections, you know that commit 500 cannot be a parent of commit 499. When looking at blame logs (annotate logs), you can be pretty sure that commit 200 happened some years before commit 40520. Plus, if you repo isn't big (and most repos on Github are not that big by numbers of commits), your revision numbers are smaller than even short git hashes, so they're easier to type in the CLI.

Low-atmosphere cloud causes more warming than reflection. The positive feedback loop between increased surface temperature and increased evaporation is part of IPCC modelling; the term you want is "radiative forcing".

If you want a ground solution, there's surprising value in painting roofs white and selecting light colored road surfaces. I believe there's even a material which is calculated to radiate in the less-absorbed bands, so it can have a positive cooling effect.

I would argue that if your floating point code cares about < vs <= then you are probably making a mistake.

I think Francis Ching's Introduction to Architecture is a good intro. https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Introduction+to+Architecture-p-9...
That’s a very interesting question.

1ns of error equates to ~30cm of error (from speed of light), so:

You might get a couple of ns of error from the initial s and p waves. (Assuming on the order of 50cm displacement)

If you’re on the fault and there is a major displacement (say order of 1-2 meters) there might be several more ns of error.

Practically, this seems to suggest that by the time that displacement from an earthquake would cause a significant loss of clock accuracy (say > 10ns), you most likely have bigger problems to worry about..
It is amazing how quickly complexity comes about to serve complexity. Like at $CURRENT_JOB we split everything into a few dozen microservices with their own DBs. Turns out that we need all the data in one place to make some decisions. Shocking I know.

Cue a team of engineers working for a year+ to build a complicated data pipeline to bring all that data back together into a graph DB (not a clue why a graph DB) and build a DSL to write the code to make these decisions.

That's where the engineers go. It's complexity that is introduced setting off a chain reaction of increased complexity to account for the complexity introduced. Then you need complexity to account for that complexity and so on.

Not that it's all self inflicted wounds. Running a site that counts 1/10 of humanity as active users is a hard thing to do
Click bait title. On Windows, if they get an error on memory allocation, they wait a bit and try again. This gives the OS time to resize the swap file which means that the second try often succeeds.
I'm not sure what is being argued by the semantics here but the app store is an important aspect of the device but does that make it not an internet service? An app store by definition is almost a direct equivalent to a web browser. It's just a tool to allow you to move data/code onto your device to do more things. Without it, your device still has a functioning OS. Apple has coupled the functionality of app installation and a curated remote repository of apps on the internet and bundled it as "the app store." I'd say most people aren't referring to the app installation aspect when they refer to the app store.

If an app store is a glorified web browser and apple is maintaining content that is loaded into it, it's almost the definition of an internet service no?

Your 1st 7 days still works with an open interval:

['2022-01-01', '2022-01-01' + days(7) )

Also, isn't this 6 days?

[today().minusDays(6), today()] --> ['2022-11-16', '2022-11-22']

To be fair, I'm considering these dates/times as singular points in time to the smallest resolution available in whatever time system is being used.

I once interviewed a junior-ish developer who told me that his then-current team had a dunce cap to be worn by whomever broke the build. I copied it immediately. There was no toxicity, it was a good laugh, and as manager I wore it more than once being a bit too liberal with my commits.

On another team I was on, in 2002 using CVS, we had an upside-down solo cup as a base for a small plastic pirate flag. If you were ready to commit, you grabbed the pirate flag as a mutex on the CVS server. Of course, this turned competitive… and piratical.

I despair about long-lived git feature branches and pull requests. The pull request model is fine for open source development, but it’s been a move backwards for internal development, from having a central trunk that a team commits to several times a day. The compensating factors are git’s overall improvements (in speed and in principled approach to being a content addressable filesystem) and all of the fantastic improvements in linters and static analysis tools, and in devops pipelines.
This may come as surprise, but "the argument from science fiction" is not actually valid. For example, it's probably not realistic to have FTL spaceships.
There is still a difference between leaving out special cases to give more succinct advice and going out of your way to repeat the words "never"/"ever" three times to imply the absolute absense of any exceptions.

You can be frustrated with autistic people when they do terrible things, but at the end of the day, if they're low functioning, you have to realize they're not playing with a full deck of cards.

You can't be against institutional oppression while supporting the punishment of the differently abled.

There seems to be a lot of people in this comment section that have had bad experiences with autistic trolls. That's really unfortunate, but the answer isn't to use the law and try to make them an example - that's almost certainly punching down.
My interpretation of the charts is that they are in a good duel, but Phoenix seems to be pulling away lately as Actix activity is waning.

This feels like a lot of extra work to throw away the benefits you actually get out of version control. I would very much not like to work on this team.
The biggest issue imho is that the device is tethered by the vendor. You can't use it (practically) without being connected to Apple. This should change. I should be able to buy a product and use it with anyone's services. Otherwise, I bought a service and not a product.

Implementing a New Memory Safety Approach, Part 1
So much web software shamelessly includes malware. When you need proprietary software to do anything sensitive, a better approach is to pirate an installable software package, install and fully update it, make sure it works, kill the VM's Internet access and never reenable it, and communicate only via Samba on the local network. This takes care of OS, developer, and distributor malware in one fell swoop.

(I agree with another comment saying we need privacy legislation that would stop this sort of thing, but in the mean time the only thing you can change is yourself)

Both of these things are theoretically true, but only if the little language has enough resources behind it to optimize and build enough tooling. A big language is much more likely to have those resources because the target market is big enough to justify it. A niche little language will likely never get that kind of mass behind it, so the tools will be lacking and the runtime won't be optimized.

Anyone interested in dams in the American west should read Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner (1986). This journal article (PNAS,USGS) supports most of the concepts introduced in Cadillac Desert:

https://sci-hub.se/10.2307/25756872

(2010) "Reclaiming freshwater sustainability in the Cadillac Desert" Sabo et al.

Purely hydroelectic power dams are something of a special case of the overall dam programs, which were mostly geared towards providing water for large agribusiness concerns (especially high-value crops like fruits, nuts, alfalfa-dairy production, etc.) and for large desert cities (Las Vegas, Phoenix, etc.). The Colorado river is probably the main dam issue, as the ongoing fossil-fueled regional megadrought is pushing those dams towards 'dead pool' status, and there's a rising conflict between cities and agriculture over who will get the water. Recycling water is likely going to be necessary, aka 'toilet-to-tap'.

Here's the FERC decision on the Klamath. The history of the licensing of these dams goes back to the 1950s:

> "The original license order [1954] was for the construction and operation of the Big Bend No. 2 development, also known as the J.C. Boyle development. Later orders incorporated the other project developments into the license... The original license, issued to the California Oregon Power Company, was transferred to Pacific Power and Light Company on June 16, 1961 and then to PacifiCorp on November 23, 1988."

One takeaway is that investor-owned electric utilities have always been nothing but government-subsidized theft from electricity consumers; they're essentially natural monopolies and would be better as state-owned entities (see for example police and fire departments, which are not investor-owned nor subject to rent extractions by billionaires like Buffet and the B-H shareholders).
The question is not how many people to maintain an app with the functionality of Twitter, it's how many people to maintain Twitter. Twitter has to maintain Twitter's actual app, not an app that you built to be maintainable by 100 people. You can't say whether that's possible without knowing how Twitter actually works.
How was twitter doing fine a few years back at half the number of employees and same number of users?
Idiots? What do you know of what's happening here that you feel you can dismiss these people as idiots?

We have supreme court judges who were openly partial towards the winning candidate during the election. One of these guys is proud of his own partiality and the fact he chose side. They implemented censorship with the "fake news" excuse, something not seen here since the military dictatorship. The same partial judges preside over the electoral justice court and they gave themselves investigatory and executive powers in order to unilaterally censor anyone they want without even a hint of due process. The election is over and they've yet to relinquish the powers that they used to disproportionally censor the losing candidate's supporters. Bolsonaro was elected in 2018 due to social media, they essentially took away his advantage.

There were plenty of reasonable questions raised by the election results. Instead of explanations and reasoned refutations, these judges offered only summary censorship and arrogance. They openly say the voting machines are "unquestionable" and that anyone doing so will be "held accountable" because apparently it's a crime to question the results of the election. It's worldwide consensus that voting machines are a bad idea yet these judges think they're perfect and will censor and fine you if you say otherwise. Our military's cyberwarfare force released a report that showed the voting machine software was vulnerable to a supply chain attack of the same sort that compromised people on this site many times over the last few years. In response, everyone took it as evidence that there was no fraud and the judges started trying to get our defense minister exonerated in clear retaliation.

People protesting this aren't "idiots", they are tired of this corruption, this dishonesty. I don't blame them, this election left me deeply disgusted and I no longer have any faith in our so called institutions. Protests are a constitutional right but these judges are already fining people and freezing accounts of corporations. People are complaining that the protesters want a coup, well these judges essentially launched their own coup and it looks like nobody noticed.
Leaving behind the discussion of whether this is a problem, it is a problem for me. I paid Apple for a device. I don't want Apple to use devices to track me or target me with ads or anything else. That is my personal take.

But what can you do assuming that you want or need a phone? Android is no better. Class action lawsuits enrich law firms and get users a gift card for $0.20 (sarcasm).

I just wonder what would happen if everyone who doesn't want this decides to take Apple to small claims court? These companies, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook continue to violate fundamental rights to privacy because they have no reason to stop. There are no significant penalties.

Or perhaps we need a bill of rights. Anyone know of such a thing?

> But the fact that it has to generate value for others is what removes the fun.

It could also be the one thing that makes your work meaningful.

I don't think the focus on value-for-others in itself is the fun-killer, but that there are diverging, in-congruent quotas to satisfy, that there are meetings that waste time, that design-by-committee makes the products dumb, that you lose autonomy, that there are more boring things to do than interesting things.

I think everyone needs and wants validation to varying degrees, and providing value to others is the means to achieve that (also.. money). Some people are less motivated by this than others, granted, but cannot exist in a bubble without going nuts. Even if programming were just for ourselves, some other labor is geared to others.

22% of married couples in the US met at work. It seems like so many of these complaints come from people who swear they are Nice Guys. I've literally never seen an issue of someone asking another person out once. I have seen multiple times guys who don't accept no for an answer and continue harassing women about dating them or grossly unacceptable behavior at social events. Usually that inappropriate behavior and the casual harassment is ignored by the company. The last clear example in my mind was at a major tech company based in the US which everyone would recognize. We had a direct college hire who was followed around at an offsite by a middle aged man who repeatedly pressured her into going back to his hotel room. He followed her around all night, despite her telling him multiple times she wasn't interested. It got to the point where everyone in the group realized what was going on and made sure to not leave her alone while trying to convince the guy to go to bed. This issue was rightfully reported, and nothing at all came of it. You can ask people out and still respect their boundaries.
