Not so much "extremists" as "highly placed members of society and the media", and not so much "infiltrate" as "buy" or "walk through the front door". Remember, aggressive censorship of the internet is widely supported by the press. Just look at any of the Mail coverage on this.

I'm not saying it's not possible to build a successful start up with the language. My argument is just that the language can become a major expense and limiting factor once you reach scale. Many programmers know multiple languages, and if they have a choice then it may be wise to opt for a language that could help you avoid some of these problems later.
I would assume you're still allowed to post your to social media in Australia. Security clearance is not a role. I doubt people post they have access to all the infrastructure on their linkedin but you can infer it by the role.

Linkedin doesn't even matter since you can buy the data any way. Email Signatures are mined to get role and contact info for databrokers. Anytime you email outside of the org, the CRM software could be grabbing that info and feeding back to a databroker. Not to mention people using addons to their mail clients. Why I don't use one at my current company even though it is company policy to have one from our HR department. Thats just email. There's also the credit report data that has your role on credit applications and also when you donate money to politicians/PACs that makes you list your role for compliance reasons.

I think ads using tracking are close to worthless and that the whole Analytics/ad industry is just busywork that makes people think they're doing something important. Especially Facebook are good at luring small businesses in and convincing them to "keep trying" with different demographics and parameters to spend more in ads.

I never understood why more businesses don't use discount codes to know where their marketing is having an effect. That's ground truth.

Hm, I would not call this 'The Lone Developer Problem' but maybe 'Future Comprehension Anomaly' wherein an author today understand their rationale for a design implementation but months down the line, it is as alien to them as it might be to a completely new set of eyes.

One solution is to leave meaningful comments that explain a thought process or design decision where it counts. This nudges future readers of the code in a direction towards total comprehension of the source.

What are the options that fit this bill? JVM? Go?

This does seem to at least rhyme with twitter's experience, and maybe also github, at least as observed from outside, where a pretty innovative initial product has difficulty progressing after a period of massive scaling.

But also: Is the lesson maybe just knowing when to pivot to more efficient runtime environments? For instance, I believe facebook had a similar experience with php, and pivoted to running it on a custom vm. Did stripe wait too long to do that kind of pivot? Or perhaps you were just there in the middle of it, which is bound to be a messy time.

Nice work, these types of tools are invaluable and there are well-supported paid options, but not that many OSS projects. There is another project called fast reverse proxy (frp) that has been around for a while, it's open source, however some users are concerned with the country of origin. Never the less, it's probably more mature and well-tested at this point.

Hey @vishnumohandas. I'm Sahil, Co-Founder at Requestly. Like you said, this is pretty much a standard template called open-core model for open source companies now a days. We explored lots of open source companies to finalise on AGPL+EE. We selected this because we wanted people to use it freely without any limitations and keeping only certain features like Team Collaboration under Proprietary license so that we could make a sustainable business as well.

We took inspiration from other awesome opensource companies like Gitlab, cal, Bitwarden before choosing the license. Hope this helps!
Congratulations on the launch! Looks amazing
My feeling is that the pandas community should be bold and consider also overhauling the API besides the internals. Maybe keep the existing API for backward compatibility but rethink what would be desirable for the next decade of pandas so to speak. Borrowing liberally from what works in other ecosystem API's would be the idea. E.g. R, while far from beautiful can be more concise etc.

Again, I really appreciate you engaging and I'm happy for the opportunity to talk dane-pgp. I don't have much time atm so a little rushed.

>so you didn't have to trust the writer or editor of the article

They're linking to a lot of their other stuff, iirc, and selectively citing things that support the position they want to disseminate.

> It says that there are 3 types of laws which have the strongest level of scientific support for their success

We have to differentiate between effect size and statistical "significance" (poorly named). The effect sizes (how much of a difference you would expect to see) are small iirc. For instance, the "assault weapons" one, which gets the strongest level coloring, is I believe a 0.9% decrease in murders if it's the study I'm thinking of. The "statistical significance" is, roughly, how much you can believe the effect size you're measuring is real, NOT how important it is. So you can have a 0.9% reduction in murders that is very "significant". I don't know what their coloring is, but my guess is they're using statistical significance, maybe with blending in some effect size.

>I wonder, though, what it would take for me to convince you of anything, since you could just dismiss all scientific research as "coming from academia" and therefore tainted by political views that you don't like.

I am from academia! I actually don't have a guns axe to grind specifically, it's a "we're going to poison the social sciences via publication bias and p-hacking" axe. Basically, people produce evidence for what's politically palatable (not even what they actually want to believe), and it's a huge problem. Another one is sex and behavior. It's abundantly clear that there are huge differences in behavior between the sexes, and that this is driven by genetics, and we've known this on the basis of good scientific evidence for 100+ years. It's not ~~socially determined~~.

>"Importantly, however, where we conclude that evidence for a policy is weak, that does not mean that the policy is ineffective; the policy itself might well be quite effective."

> "Still, even relatively small effects of gun policies are important to the people and communities affected."

Let me translate: "Guys, we know this doesn't look good, but we promise...there's a way you can talk about it such that we can still keep claiming the things we want to believe are true in spite of the avalanche of evidence coming from researchers that also want to claim the things. Also, jk jk, don't punish us we want to keep our jobs :-) :-D "

One of the key problems here (and the reason for my axe) is that it's tough or impossible to do real research on important stuff like this right now.

Richard Hamming has a story where he was shocked/appalled that some folks wanted to include him on a paper after he suggested using Linear Regression in an obvious application of linear regression. The upshot is, if it were obvious it would have been done already. So many times people have done everything they can to avoid using a matrix decomposition or a proper filter.
A quick review of Wikipedia shows that the F-35 and F-22 are both capable (or are always equipped?) with multibarrel cannons. Why? When was the last time a US or NATO plane scored an air-to-air combat kill with a gun? I can kind of see the justification for the F-35 since it's a multi-role plane, with some configurations designed for closely supporting ground forces.
I love this approach, reminds me of the approach in Atlas Shrugged: make them show up with guns.
Likewise, re: "subset that I find useful". As I note in the post, I've never used it for TODOs etc.

What keeps me in the org life is that whenever I've wanted to do X, orgmode itself and the wider ecosystem have answered "sure, here you go".

And, personally, any learning curve + configuration overhead has been worth it because it composes as a unified system. My brain fares poorly if it has to jump between contexts for a single task (e.g. write lecture/talk notes, separately make a slide deck to present, separately make a live notebook / repo to run a demo, and then have to bounce between the three at run-time).

I don't know... each to their own. This works for me, and I wish others tools that work for them. Life is too short for the annoyance borne of bad-fit personal tools.

the api is miserable
I asked gpt3 and here is what it said:

This command uses FFmpeg to create a single output video file from two input video files. It starts by specifying a start and duration for each of the two files (input1.mp4 and input2.mp4). It then applies a filter complex to the two files, which combines the two videos and audio into one stream, and adds a brightness filter with a value of 0.3. Finally, it maps the output video stream to the output file (output.mp4).
Looks very interesting (every now and then I wonder about good self-hostable ngrok alternatives), but the "curl x | sudo bash" pattern for installation is really putting me off this one.

Don't do development on any system that has access to production. Develop on dev lane resources.

Production access should only be allowed from a locked down system with no open ports and a very small whitelist set of software. Operations for said system should be simple. Deploy version x with necessary provisioning. Backup system. Restore system. View monitoring and logs.

You must minimize the surface area connected to production.

On the network side the system with the keys for production is also firewalled off from general Internet access. So potential malware can't phone home.

"git add" is used in this context to add an untracked file (like the fossil example).

git init .

vi file (initial content)

git add file

git commit -am "first commit"

vi file (make changes)

git commit -am "second commit"

Basically if you use commit -am, you never have to worry about staging - which is most of the time imo. In the rare case where you want to avoid committing something that has changed use git add to stage individual files.
One of the most insane things I hear repeated constantly is that "servers are cheaper than programmers", implying that runtime efficiency doesn't matter, only developer efficiency.

Which is all well and good, until you need to hire all the network engineers, systems administrators, devops people, security staff, datacenter operations managers, database sharding engineers, etc to manage the 10x more hardware and network surface area you have to throw at your slow codebase.
VSCode on remote VMs is a really great DX. Preconfigured / managed environment with good links to local infra means anyone can work fully remote from any kind of device. And it makes setup time very short regardless of the project complexity.

I suppose the main issue with this kind of approach is cost - a powerful enough AWS instance is really expensive. But you can get beefy dedicated servers from Hetzner for 100/mo that might be a good option for smaller shops.
I outfitted a 1982 steel bike frame with 2016 brand new components. No issues then other than bending the rear to take a 130mm axle rather than 126mm. Are 68mm english-threaded bottom brackets and cranks becoming unobtainium in new groups?

I dunno, we've already seen the first Twitter President, and there's a whole coterie of people who seem to have managed to post their way to prominence out of nothing, usually as a grift and towards suspicious ends. But that's a more than full time job.

In any case, it's more or less useless appealing directly to the Tory politicians backing this stuff. You've got to work through (or against) the media they answer to.

> Disc brakes, which are now on almost every new bicycle, all have different axle designs, meaning that every vehicle now requires proprietary spare parts

There are so many errors in this article. This isn’t even close to the truth and this is just outright ignorance.

Disc brakes are highly highly standardized. Shimano for instance made public its Microspline standard and there are dozens of aftermarket choices. Shimano actually does an incredible job, making sure all of their parts between entire groupsets are cross compatible.

SRAM has their official parts, but also has myriad of aftermarket parts available.

The only issue are Walmart bikes. These are generally one off production runs that are designed not to be repairable. They will include everything from odd size tires to welded bottom brackets.

I don't understand what you are saying.

My comment was a jest (as suggested by the smiley).

What I take from Casey's post is that a simple non-pessimistic representation allows for efficient code. That is, using a table instead of a class hierarchy gives massive performance boost.
Compared to a "clever" loop unrolling doesn't give that much of a boost.

So we need simpler representation. IMHO the table implementation is not less readable nor less flexible than the class hierarchy. But it is less common in the code I am used to, in other words, it's not a widely used pattern).

I agree .. fast doesn't take account of how verbose or understandable code will be.

As an extreme example, people choose not to write low level code for a good reason, even if it might be fast.

High level / interpreted code will be more understandable, but will automatically have an overhead in most cases.
