If I've written a comment, and I have, it's because I have to move on, not because I think it's adding an extra layer of quality.

I don't want to write a comment, I'd rather write clean code that looks good, but when I run out of time to spend on a problem, and I don't think the code is clear enough, I think then it's acceptable to add a comment.

I just think too many devs have their egos wrapped up into their jobs, so hearing, "Commenting is failure!" evokes an emotional response. What these devs don't realize is you can make no mistakes and still "fail" to write clean code, and that's totally okay.

Uncle Bob is just saying that pulling out a comment before you've tried is premature. Try to avoid it first, if you have time to.
If you worked at a company and had a fork of a private repo that company maintained of some software... do you want employees who have left to have their access to the repos removed? or an email that says that it will be removed?
I don't think the people who removed my access had any intention of deleting private repos. It's just somebody cleaning up ex-employee access from GitHub.

Funny, I always knew twm as "Tom's Window Manager", which is how it was called when I learned GNU/Linux in the 90s w/XFree86.

Indeed, if one scrolls down to AUTHORS the first name is "Tom LaStrange". I guess they renamed it at some point...
I don't think this is true. I see "Boosted" posts in my feed from people I don't follow. Maybe this is a server specific feature? I am using Hachyderm.io.
IMF has been right about this exactly 0 times in the last 12 years.
Not when you're at everest base camp and listening to the BBC world service.
So you're suggesting GitHub should determine the total "average" license of a private repo and determine if your fork is indeed valid or not, before revoking access.
You've touched upon a central issue that is not often addressed in these conversations. People who have difficulty comprehending and composing essays also struggle to work with repeated prompts in AI systems like ChatGPT to reach a solution. I've found in practice that when showing someone how prompting works, their understanding either clicks instantly, or they fail to grasp it at all. There appears to be very little in between.
Yes, AWS is similar with their DB offerings. You can discourage it from doing any updates/reboots (which causes a failover), but ultimately if they want to failover, they can at any time.

I have one from mid-2014 (base model W550SU, now-bankrupt distributor), used about as heavily as anyone would ever use one (probably averaging sixty hours a week). Its keyboard was not great within one year (spongy), and distinctly unpleasant after two years (very spongy), with its space bar becoming extremely unreliable during the third year. It became impossible to type at speed on it.
It's not infeasible (Tesla vehicles used to have AM radios). My EV has an AM radio. It works.
I've heard the comment of HD Radio being a failure multiple times. Personally, it doesn't seem to be true to me, as the majority of my radio listening happens on receivers with HD Radio on stations with HD Radio. I didn't even go out of my way to make sure I bought just the right trim of a car with HD Radio or an AV receiver with HD Radio, it just had it. Most of the radio stations in my market offer HD Radio and several have multiple subchannels. A few of my go-to stations are HD Radio subchannels as those often are operated with minimal to no advertisements (usually just self promotion and station ID).

I realize HD Radio is pretty much US-only, but am I seemingly the only one actually using HD Radio?
IMO most reasonable managers would not blame the individual contributors for not being able to do their job because of a security and procurement issue that is out of their hands. I suppose it can happen, but if you're working at a place that has management like that perhaps it's time to look around.
I use it as the main OS on my desktop, fairly unsophisticated usecase-some web browsing, programming, playing games via Steam. I’ve encountered no real friction or hiccups. It feels like “ubuntu but cohesive”.
>I am a human being and I am capable of so much more than I can even imagine. We all are. It’s a shame so much of us are forced to spend the best parts of our lives chained to a desk.

No one's forcing you to do anything. Do all that "so much more".

The problem is then you might want food and shelter and goods and medicine - the results of other's labor. To get that you will have to provide them things of value, i.e., the result of your labor in some form.

If you can do "so much more" then do it and trade for the other things you cannot make.

The reality is that to produce things others want so you can trade for things you want takes work, and that work is not simply having all the fun you feel like every moment.
I kind of agree with the GP, mostly because I feel like if we could focus the efforts of the various DE communities on a single project then we could finally get a Linux DE that has as much polish as Windows and MacOS.

Probably just a pipe dream though.
This is extremely untrue; a barely competent embedded developer can make gobs of money. It's a much rarer skill, somewhere at the intersection of software developer and electrical engineer.
“To earth, then, let us assign the cubical form; for earth is the most immoveable of the four and the most plastic of all bodies, and that which has the most stable bases must of necessity be of such a nature. Now, of the triangles which we assumed at first, that which has two equal sides is by nature more firmly based than that which has unequal sides; and of the compound figures which are formed out of either, the plane equilateral quadrangle has necessarily a more stable basis than the equilateral triangle, both in the whole and in the parts.”

I mean, one might take the couple most prominent women in the show being annoying on the one hand and frustratingly bone-headed on the other (Marie) as bias or misogyny... except that nearly all the guys are monsters, or worthless, or are also annoying (sometimes all three). I think it's just a show where almost no-one's good, all the way, entirely, or has always psychologically got it together. Even Hank gets pathetically sorry for himself and starts wasting money on his weird clearly-coping-for-something (ahem, PTSD, among other things probably) rock collecting (well, rock buying) "hobby"—except, I've seen people behave almost exactly that same way in real life! Its characters are human, often such that it's hard to fully like them, just as it can be hard to like most people in real life without some familial or long-running friend bond to get you over their quirks and weaknesses.

... still, there's a lot of time in those first couple seasons in particular when, to the viewer, Skyler kinda just comes off as a clueless nag, even when she's actually behaving reasonably, just because of how the show's presented. "Skyler, you don't get what he's dealing with, just back off!" you want to yell at the screen—then, if you think for a second, you remember he's dissolving bodies in bathtubs and living a secret life and lying to everyone and putting everyone around him in mortal danger and all kinds of messed-up shit, all because he couldn't swallow his pride just once for the sake of his family, so maaaaaybe we should go easier on her. But the presentation, the writing—it does tend to raise such ill thoughts of Skyler to begin with.
Instead, you might just want to reach out and ask for access or a zip file from the owners
I guess this is a question of who should have been given further information. For example, whoever at the organization deleted the repo would have been given a very clear warning screen including the number of forks that would be deleted by their action prior to them doing it.

On that note, an organization admin can _directly_ delete your private fork without even deleting the source repository if they want. GitHub's permission model is fairly direct that private forks you make through your membership in an organization are more the organization's property than the forker's.
> Artifact will also remove individual posts that promote falsehoods, he says.

They just never learn. This will not scale! But they refuse to hand over any control to users for choosing what they want to consume, or providing negative feedback.

They're going to make the same mistake that all these platforms have made, which is to treat all content as if it's in one giant bag and hope they can ML their way through. There's no way to subscribe to a "feed" of related content, so your best bet is to follow some creators and hope that The Algorithm gets the message. How do I choose that I want to read more about science today? Or culture? Well, my only option is to hope that their ML team is good enough to maintain a reasonable ontology of subjects and good at classifying content automatically. But I'm completely out of luck if I have niche interests.

As someone who prefers to drive Japanese beaters I don’t see EVs ever really being a better deal, environment aside.

Prior to Covid you could get a 2003 Corolla for 3000-5000 dollars and drive it another 100K miles easily with basically oil changes only.

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if you could ever buy an EV for that price and drive it that much.
I lost my passion for working as a software engineer -- it's just a job now -- but I think that's because the industry has changed and made such jobs less desirable.

I haven't lost my passion for computers and programming at all, though. They are still my primary hobby and I am as excited as ever when doing that.
I prefer it over Ubuntu simply because of the nvidia image that's available instead of relying on generic drivers initially and then installing the proprietary ones. I have had no issues w/ it, though I had with Ubuntu over nv drivers.

Unfortunately I am stuck with NVDA until well, Triton has AMD support, or RocM PyTorch catches up in performance.
That's not an entirely accurate summation of the current state of affairs, as I understand it.

At this point, several people who have tried to follow the proof have all pointed to the exact same step where their attempts came undone: Corollary 3.12. And it's become agreed by everyone that if this doesn't hold, the proof doesn't hold.

Decent amount of AM in Toronto, Canada. Mostly talk shows and lots of sports broadcasts/discussions. 680 is handy for news/weather/traffic as their format is to do a 'loop' of major topics over a period of 30 minutes.

Oh man, using laplink with the parallel port and serial port was way faster than floppies. Used this method for years to rescue files off computers. You could even bootstrap laplink using dos copy con if there were no working floppies if I recall correctly.
Oh, do I remember these days. I spent 17 years at a global multi-national telecom through two mergers and a bankruptcy (and a half). We were a large organization (between 5,500 and 22,000 depending on the year).

During much of that time, "who paid for what" was a big issue. The thread alludes to the issue: IT says "you need to buy new hardware every X years", department already has less than no budget, has no budget for new PCs and perceives no need for new PCs for workers that could get away with much less than they're using, now.

It was a funny little game that was played because IT would get dinged in their compliance metrics if staff was out of date (and staff hated old hardware/blamed IT), but management would get dinged for spending too much and have little incentive to buy new hardware until the last second. Meanwhile, C-Level executives on both sides get to say "your problem". The difference, here, is that someone gave IT a pretty large sledge-hammer and permission to use it in order to force departments to push for more budget. In our case (and I'm sure others), a bit (a lot?) of non-compliance was normal.

Personally, I think the take that "IT should own the budget" isn't as great as it sounds. It solves one problem: distributing the payment among budgets creates a "shared responsibility" that ultimately becomes "pass the buck". It also happens low enough from C-Levels that "they don't have to think about it."

Having IT own the budget solves this because at least one C-Level is going to have to account for a large enough expense that it's likely to be a little better planned for.

It won't always be better planned for ... depending on the company or manager, it won't often be better planned for. Unfortunately, the consequence of this poor planning only extends to the IT budget. Since compliance is non-negotiable, the largest line-item on the budget -- IT's staff -- is the next hit. In the former model, "making the budget deficit up" is naturally spread throughout the company, in this model, it all hits IT.

I like road trips. And then I really find Sirius XM well worth the money. FM coverage is too local and choppy when going through hills / mountains. 5G? Yea, right. The closest you get is 4G from another provider, which throttles you (e.g. using T-Mobile, which will jump to AT&T where there is no T-Mobile. It'll show 4G but the speeds are slower than 56K).

So Sirius XM there it is.
As someone who has been through this, I'll offer some random, unsolicited advice:

1. Much is dictated by level of care. Meaning, there is a spectrum from independent living, assisted living, and nursing home. Independent living is the cheapest with the least amount of assistance. A nursing home is the most expensive and has the highest level of care.

2. Money does not necessarily dictate better care. We obtained better care from a $5k/mo facility than a $9k/mo.

3. Staff turnover is high. Reviews are important, but if the reviews are more than a year old, it doesn't mean a lot.

4. Most of the time, better care can be had if the facility knows the family is involved and they are being watched. To this end, each state I've been involved with allowed the family to demand a camera be installed in the room. The rooms with cameras are the first to be handled. And, to be clear, I don't like this, but it is what it is. Outside of this, families that visit either every day or multiple times a week who get to know the staff generally receive better care.

5. Medicaid can cover the cost of a nursing home, but all assets need to be essentially depleted to a few thousand. This includes any value in the home. It may be possible to transfer the assets to a trust, but there tends to be a cool down where this only works if the assets have been in a trust for multiple years. An estate lawyer familiar with this area of law would know best.

6. If assets are depleted as in 5, some states subsidize home based care through medicaid. This tends to be paltry, but it can help. I think we were originally authorized 20.5 hours a week and the amount essentially came out to $9/hr.

And, to be clear, all of the above addresses none of the emotional difficulty of being put in such a position.

As far as the article goes, I don't doubt it. We saw some really horrific things in the nursing homes. When you're going through it, it feels like a mix of sadness, helplessness, and rage. It doesn't have to be bad, but often is. At the same time, there are situations were you must use one because its not safe to have your family member be alone. Things like dementia, fall risks, etc. Please never judge someone for using a facility; it may be required. Just protect yourself and your family as best you can.
A strong second to that recommendation. Excellent series.

I'll also note that there are transcripts for all five, er, six, episodes, if that's your jam.
Why must that documentation go inline with the code? There are so many better ways to document design and implementation decisions that don't involve embedding English into source code files.

We preach endlessly the idea of orthogonality and abstraction, but then we smash together plain English and Python/C++/Erlang/whatever?
Very much that. As a former SRE responsible for tape storage, I saw things like regular backups of an error phrase "You have no access to this database". Guess what happened when the team accidentally dropped the database?

Unless you're doing regular restores, you don't have a backup. You have hope. So yes, doing backups in a way that gives you some form of guarantee isn't exactly cheap.
> It will only be deleted if the repo you fork from is a private repository

This makes sense. Thank you for clarifying that important detail. It seems to be missing from the parts of the discussion I've read here.
Figure 2 doesn't fill me with confidence as to the ability to detect similar images. The best example is the bottom right match which hits because the collar is in the same position and a bunch of white being in the same place outweighs a lot more meaningful data.

This probably means there are far more matches to be found that would be considered clearly copies to humans. SSIM might be a bit heavy for the task but a simple comparison of the gradients from neighboring pixels might match quite a lot more.

This is a standard Mastodon feature. You will see post that people you follow "boost", but not things they only "favorite".

My understanding is that the Mastodon devs are trying to separate "increase the distribution of a post" from "give positive feedback to the post author".
Really? That's crazy. At least at one point, spinning up phone numbers was significantly harder and much more deterrent against account generators than was email addresses. What has changed to make phone numbers easier to generate and email addresses harder?
> So you're suggesting GitHub should determine the total "average" license of a private repo and determine if your fork is indeed valid or not, before revoking access.

No, I'm not suggesting that. In fact, I didn't say anything about what GitHub should or shouldn't do. My comment related to how licenses work, not how GitHub works or should work.

In particular, I was responding to this comment:

> It's not your code or data, it's your previous employers IP and they determine who has access and who doesn't and what licenses do or don't apply.

The claim in the above comment is incorrect. I stated that the claim is incorrect. That is unrelated to the issue of how GitHub should deal with private repo forks.

Generally, things that cause cancer don't cause cancer when people are exposed to extremely small amounts. From our understanding, this is because the body is able to tolerate a certain amount of carcinogenic substances before a statistical threshold is reached. In situations where people are only exposed to tiny amounts of asbestos through fiber inhalation, we don't really have good stats on what happens to people who inhale tiny amounts (and these amounts are parts-per-million, found only in a subset of samples). In epi, what ends up happening is that people down-extrapolate using a linear model, outside the linear regime.

Testing is normally done by pooling multiple samples.

Again, I simply think there's a lack of evidence that anybody did anything crimimal.
Never use the fork feature on private repos. Instead, clone the repo locally, create a fresh GitHub repo, and push your local clone manually to that. Doing so will protect you from this attack.

Their cost to drive an EV 100 miles is claiming $15, which is absolutely insane. I have a luxury SUV ev (Audi etron) and my cost for 100 miles is about 4 dollars based on 13c/kwh electricity. If I ONLY charged at public chargers it would be between $13.32 (40c/kwh) and $8.33 (25c/kwh). This article is bullshit.
Yep, municipalities should require a large deposit up-front to connect new neighborhoods to existing infrastructure, based on the amount of infrastructure (roads, water, sewer) the new neighborhood has.

> Over USB, the control message latency leads to this taking tens of milliseconds.

This sounds an order of magnitude wrong. I have just setup a loopback with a CH340 USB to serial adapter and ran the following code:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import serial
import time

ser = serial.Serial(port="/dev/ttyUSB0", baudrate=1_000_000, timeout=1)

iters = 100
x = time.time()
for i in range(iters):
towrite = b"%i\n"%i
ser.write(towrite)
line = ser.readline()
assert(line == towrite)
delta_ms = (time.time() - x)*1000

print("Finished %i iterations in %ims = %.1fms/iteration"%(iters, delta_ms, delta_ms/iters))

and it says Finished 100 iterations in 272ms = 2.7ms/iteration
