I can't agree, sure early employees have some stock (still usually muuuuuuuuuuuch less than founders) but a lot of the time there is a specific class of decision-makers/owners. Workers in big companies like Google get stock that through some fancy beaurocracy doesn't give them decision making-opportunities. I think workers-owners can agree to unequal salary, but even in startups they don't actually make decisions. The biggest known worker cooperative is Mondragon, so this can scale. I would probably try creating different type of structure to this from Mondragon (they still have director class that is chosen by majority vote), but it's an example of big worker coop. Motion Twin would be an example of a small worker coop, they have fixed equal salary which I think was a problem for them, they didn't want to scale so after they developed the game Dead Cells that was a fairly big success some people from this company created another company to be able to scale to develop the game.

Same. I have Rectangle and others installed previously and very rarely use them. Double-clicking corners to expand in that direction only is good enough for me and wish Windows would do that. My layouts intentionally overlap windows with some horizontal/vertical staggering and window managers don't have shortcuts for that.
Any reason why the specific transatlantic flights? I mean, I can understand the need to avoid frivolous flights, but if there’s a justification to fly, I would guess the transatlantic one would be less wasteful than other kinda of flights that can be served by alternative means.

When I teach students git I show them init, status, add commit, diff, and log. That's all I focus on for several weeks.

That's enough to track changes to your own projects, see the benefit of tracking what you've changed, and build the habit of commiting frequently. IME, adding anything more about remotes and branches is overwhelming to the point they don't bother with git because they aren't going to distinguish the fundamentals from those more complex features.

Obviously branches and remotes are vital in real development, you just can't expect them to learn it all from the start.
I'm the git guy on the team and even I get a bit nervous when having to resolve conflicts or figure stuff out in out branching strategy. 95% of the time I am fine and so is the team but it's when things involve many teams and many commits on the same subset of files that things get hairy.

I will say this: I find git much better than Microsoft's Team Foundation Server (I know it can be setup to use git now) but I like git overall a lot more.

Does anyone think any of the competitors to Git will take off? I hesitate to move to something else because inertia is a thing: all my stuff is on github, the team and all my colleagues at work know it, guides exist for it online, but then again ... if I could master a better tool I could teach everyone... hmm.

It's probably not the way you're making it sound. This was in the early early days of YC, when there were like eight companies per batch, and at the peak of PG's influence as an online essayist. He wrote a lot about the benefits of Lisp and how Lisp was a competitive advantage for Viaweb. So it was probably less a case of trying to win favor with a seed investor and more a case of actually being convinced it was a good business decision.
I support it, but I also wonder why other teams seem to spend so much time on git than we do. Our setup is fairly basic, you have a main branch, you can only push things too it by squash merge pull request that are linked to a work item, and you can only do so after whatever you’ve build has gone through the release pipeline, which among other things involve spinning up an instance of it for POs or whatever to test. When a dev wants to change something, they pick a work item on our “mostly kanban” board, and create a branch from there with a dev/name. Behind the scenes this spins up a build and a deployment to a dev/name deployment slot whenever something is pushed to it. They do their things, other devs do theirs, similarly on dev/othername branches and then when whatever is complete it gets squash merged into the main branch with a direct link to the kanban work item.

You’re mostly free to do what you want on your dev/name branch. The only thing you really need to teach “juniors” is that they will hate themselves unless they merge main into their dev branches regularly. But if you’re heading home and want to commit something, or you simply commit as often as you click cmd+s, you can do it with no useful comment because it’ll get squashed anyway. Most people where I work use GitKraken, mostly out of habit, but I think more and more are switching to VSC extensions and some might even use the cli.

The result is that we spend almost 0 time on “git” in our organisation. I wonder if we do things wrong somehow since git seems to cause issues for so many people.
Is there a good reference on tracking satellites from their thermal signature? Couldn't find anything.
Each commit in Git contains a file tree. So a single commit is what’s needed to answer the question ”what files does this commit track?”, which is the only question about file tracking that makes sense to ask in Git.

Describing Git’s behaviour in terms of other version control systems’ semantics (e.g. Subversion or Mercurial) is not necessarily easy, but that’s not what’s being claimed.
It’s a joke but it has happened when the developer/hoa goes bankrupt.

It might be that many modern IoT standards have some form of encryption as standard - which requires a contain baseline of power from the chips it runs on. Or might be that the cost delta between the hypothetical low perf iot chip and a higher perf iot chip would actually be so low as to make the former not worth producing. Pure speculation though.

In the US it’s by state. In New York, opening the box requires a court order no matter what. Getting access to the contents of the box after opening may also require an order from the surrogate court. There’s also a statutory procedure for appointment of an executor that can be complicated by many factors. All of this crap takes time and wastes a lot of money.

Don’t do it. Pay for an attorney to hold it on your behalf if you want a third party to hold on to it.

On top of this, safe deposit boxes are not very safe in general. Banks frequently fubar operations around them and lose, destroy, give access to the wrong people, etc.
Rural India (unlike urban India) is relatively high trust environment. Everybody knows each other and there are lots of shared ethical values. But they still have to build their houses one brick wall at a time (lack of access to home loans) and be at the risk of financial ruin due to unpredictable life events (lack of access to insurance).

Urban India is a very low trust environment, but people still have access to things like home loans, insurance and capital markets (equity and loans).

I agree that good governance is a necessity for development of financial markets, but not sure what it has to do with being a high trust or low trust society.

I am working on a state machine formulation/notation that can be executed.

The runtime is multithreaded and parallel.

The idea is to execute the following state machine:

thread(s) = fact(variable) | send(message) | receive(message2);
thread(r) = fact(variable) | receive(message) | send(message2);

This program waits until thread(s) is true in another thread until thread(r) is true, everything left of the equals symbol needs to be true before it passes to the next group of facts after the = symbol. Then it waits for "fact(variable)" to be fired, then when all those atoms are true, the state transitions past the pipe symbol and does a send(message) while the other thread does a receive(message) and then the process is repeated in the opposite direction. I've not shown it here, but you can wait for multiple facts to be true too.

Here's a state machine for an (echo) server that is intended to be mapped to epoll or libiouring:

accept | { submit_recv! | recv | submit_send } { submit_send! | send | submit_recv }

The curly brackets means parallel state machines that run independently, like a fork.

That's a good point. One way to look at Starlink is as a proxy to the cost of government bureaucracy and oligopolies and monopolies that restrain trade. It's actually cheaper and more effective to build Starlink than it is to arbitrate all of that terrestrial mess.

There are other reasons. It's annoying to me because on mobile there's a link I use often that's only in the footer of the page.

And yep, the link is still there in the infinite scroll version of the results page - if you swipe violently downward several times then after 3-4 refreshes it gives up, and you can click footer links.

(The link in question is "see results in English" - which I use often due to my region and because I use incognito tabs for random google searches.)
"America is a nation of immigrants" isn't an appeal here, it's a statement of fact. Ethnic homogeneity, by any definition of white, would require removal of very large parts of the population.

The paper does say 'Their goal is to “make its second-generation

I worked at a game studio who used a lisp like that had morphed into a pythonic c with parens instead of curleys.

I asked the dev who made the engine why lisp.

"I had a month to build a new scripting engine. Lisp is the easiest to implement in c/c++ or in assembly and I had done it in college. So I made a compiler /emulator in like a week. If I had more time I would have made a dumbed down python with parallelism"

The parallelism was cool because you could have multiple conditions running at once like 5 ai walking 5 simple action loops until one of 3 conditioned collapsed them all into attack mode. Easy to model as threads with joins in this language. Could have been done with other languages but harder to do the memory management.

So not really cause it was a lisp

My parents recently got starlink internet in a developing country with measured 70mbits down and 12mbits up. It costs about the same as wired internet, which is available where they live. But the speed is higher and they can run it on a battery so the internet stays up even when the power goes down, which happens often.

I think it’s a game changer for people in rural areas and cabins, people in RVs, people on boats, etc.

I’ve worked remote my whole career, but now it is possible for me to do that from anywhere on earth with starlink service. That’s amazing to me.

Yes, just because it's from a team connected with the old Stabilizer tool, it doesn't mean it shares the insights and benefits of that kind of testing. At least, that's my understanding based on my limited knowledge of coz, and a little bit more knowledge of https://github.com/ccurtsinger/stabilizer
> Africans can have their satellite

Well I'm not sure about that. There are 3 African countries where Starlink is available (unlike for instance every single country in the EU where both fiber and 4/5G coverage is quite decent already).

Also even in these 3 countries it's still prohibitively expensive for the majority of the population.
That's indeed an exaggerated claim, but it's not far from the truth. I suspect the author didn't want to introduce the concept of the class right away, which is very similar to the concept of set.
They already collect blood samples in the states to test for incredibly rare congenital defects. When we tried to decline testing, we were threatened with a CPS case and the removal of our just-born child. I imagine leaving the hospital at that point would have gone very poorly for us from a legal point of view.

Supposedly the samples are destroyed "eventually," but we got several conflicting answers as to when that was. No one had any expertise in anything even privacy-adjacent, so what we were giving "consent" to was never clarified.

From our experience, I think a law that maintained DNA samples for all births in the US would easily sail through despite a very small and impotent opposition. I hope I am wrong.

This is a common criticism: "Why would God care about this seemingly minute detail?"

We hear it, as well, with things like, "Does God really care if I eat meat on Friday?"

But actually, the whole point is that if we can't expend the effort to make trivial sacrifices, or to follow seemingly trivial rules about valid matter for the Eucharist, then why on earth would we expect ourselves to get more important things right?

Catholicism is not as persnickety as you might think, but there is a "When you know better, do better" mentality. Now that the bishop has realized the problem, he's taking steps to do better and rectify the issue. Yes, we trust that God knows what's in our hearts, but that doesn't mean we should just shrug our shoulders and say, "Not a big deal" when we have the opportunity to do better.
The average Christian white nationalist has more in common, culturally, with a Muslim immigrant from the Middle East than with a staunch atheist like myself. But I would probably be welcomed in a "white nation" because of my appearance. If we're being very generous, white nationalism is intellectually lazy since it uses superficial traits like skin color as shorthand for culture/lifestyle when the two are, at best, loosely connected. But I think it's extremely naive to look at the history of white nationalist ideas and assume that superiority/inferiority is not implicit in the ideology.
