That's all I got. That's how I sing it. I tried to break out the notes as they flow in each song. Commas separate each note in the song and the parentheses around the last word or letter denote a long note. Where you see two words behind one comma those two words use the same note - "for the" is an example. It all fits for me though I guarantee that there is more than one way to skin this cat. This way works for me.

Newark or Fremont is within 30 minutes drive (usually within 40 for rush hour) and there's tons at that price point. On the Google side of the bay there's many around $5k.

And honestly, as pointed out, an extra $10-20k on housing doesn't really change the point anyway.

Perhaps an organization that requires such tremendous overhead just to exist should've failed long ago. It's not the anarchist's job to design improvements, but to make the evolution of improved systems possible by dismantling what's in the way.

> it's like traveling to foreign lands with their different rules and customs is not such a smart idea, overall.

Jeez. That is the reason why it is a good idea. Go out, and learn how similar or different other places are. Do you want to always experience the same old, same old? Yeah it causes an inconvenience sometimes, and good times at others.
> The non-agile shops I've worked at operated with project management methodologies that resemble kanban more than waterfall.

Maybe I've just got the entirely wrong conceptualization in my head here, but to me you're comparing apples and oranges.

Agile is the idea that "we should be doing small pieces of work, collecting new information, communicating with business and customer stakeholders and integrating it, then tackling our next piece of work".

Waterfall is the idea that "we should know everything we're doing up front before we start".

These are the two extremes of the same spectrum.

Scrum, kanban, reams of paper, and everything else are implementations to turn these philosophies (or places in between them on the spectrum) into actionable processes.

To my understanding (and from some brief sanity checks around the internet), kanban _is_ "Agile". If it isn't to you, then what is your understanding of "Agile"?

Editing to add: Most of this understanding comes from having worked a lot of places that did waterfall-scrum or waterfall-kanban. You can have as many sprint rituals as you want, but if nobody is assigned any tickets or starts working on projects until you've documented every minute detail from beginning through to release of a full product... you're doing waterfall, not agile.

You misunderstand my point. A BS job wasn't necessary in the first place, so it's unlikely to be replaced by GPT. The market is pretty bad at optimizing the amount of labor large corporations need, and this isn't going to change this.

Unlikely. In the case you describe without additional evidence they would have no basis for an arrest (otherwise you could have anyone arrested arbitrarily by accusing them of same). The police would likely only involve themselves if they actually succeeded in running you down. Even if there were video surveillance available they aren't going to go get a warrant and review the tapes because some guy came in accusing someone. It's simply not how that works.

The police (in the USA) are reactive and respond after crimes are committed, not before (unless they are responding to social disorder requests, which is generally unrelated to crime). Even then they choose which crimes they deem worthy of responding to (the classic example being rape victims being dissuaded from proceeding with making a police report).

Most people have a mistaken mental model of how police actually function. Most police officers are about as non-proactive as you can get (except near the end of the month when the traffic ticket quotas are due).
Would be nice to also include IPv6 variants for each.
I think they are adding many readable function versions lately
I think this misses the point. At the beginning he states very clearly that the people providing the labor are best positioned to determine if the labor is bullshit, which seems like a reasonable starting point. The purpose of the book is probing how a system that's supposed to be ruthlessly efficient and profit seeking could waste so much money on bullshit.

For those who haven't read the book the answer is largely what he terms "managerial feudalism". The economic motives of any individual manager, up to and including the CEO, often don't align with the abstract ideal of a brutally efficient capitalist firm. They get money and status by having a large "court" of underlings. If you've worked at a growth stage company it seems impossible to deny that this doesn't happen in the tech industry.

> What do you think happens to the nitrogen in plant matter digested by these bacteria?

My first guess is that it's being kept as, or converted into, amino acids for use in protein synthesis by the bacteria.

> thereby keeping carbon out of the air

For some of it, yes. However the production, and transportation of compost if it can't be used on site (possible in Japan), puts carbon into the air. I don't know how this balances out.

> The lack of critical thinking is very frustrating.

Critical thinking should go into study design and interpretation, but it doesn't hold a candle to actually doing a full lifecycle analysis. Is this technology better or worse for the environment than the status quo? We don't have enough information to determine that.
As far as I can tell this is exactly true

You are too confident. First, Qubes does not use VMware. It uses Xen, which has way less vulnerabilities, most of which do not affect Qubes [0]. And none of them have led to arbitrary code execution in host since 2006, except maybe for VMs with PCI passthrough [1].

Also, Qubes does not trust the hardware emulation [2]. It keeps the trusted computing base as small as possible. Of course, the covert-channel attacks are still possible [3], but they are much weaker and can be mitigated through isolation. Qubes does not implement an ordinary copy-paste functionality; it's implementation is much more secure, see [4,5].

Hardware-virtualized VMs without any devices attached are extremely hard to escape from or access for other VMs. I am not aware of any successful attempts in the last >10 years.

> qubes VM with strict selinux rules is useless if they get you to click on a link that exploits firefox to steal your gmail cookies

This is wrong, because clicking on a link in my email would open a broswer in a dedicated, disposable VM. Also any attachment would also open in a disposable VM.

Having said that, you are probably right that in this case Qubes itself would not help as the whole database had to be available online.

The only future I see for GCP is if they lean heavily into the "pure IaaS + K8s" position, and compete aggressively on price.

If customers start to run their own equivalent of SageMaker (or whatever BS the Azure equivalent is) on self-managed GCP clusters for a fraction of the price, cloud competition could finally get interesting.
It's very fortunate that we have a place like this where we can indulge in «intellectual curiosity» and gain relative protection from said «people».

> But, if git just change the default of `git log` to `git log --first-parent`, then so much of this would go away.

Not really.

If you don’t care about the individual commits that lead to a merge (you only care about the final merge) then you could just do `git commit --amend` through the whole process. The end result would be the same.

But presumably these people (who aren’t narrowly focused on a linear history) do care. And (as you seem to be saying) sometimes you want to go down into the second parent of the merge commit.

And in that history (with just merges) there’s a bunch of random “synch. points” where they merged the original branch into theirs. Why? Maybe because it had been three hours, maybe it was the start or end of the day, or something else?

Can you look at the three-way diff and see why?

And then there are all sorts of half thought out commits and missteps that could have been edited out if they used rebase.

Using rebase does have drawbacks. But you can get back value proportional to the time you invest in it. So it’s not a simple matter of discovering that `--first-parent` is a thing and then setting an alias for that (really, you thought that would be it?).

And using merges only (including synch. merges) also has its advantages. But no, using rebase is not just about hiding pull request branches.

I studied CS and electric engineering for 6-7 years total, and both degrees included some pretty math-intense courses, proofs and all. I remember how I really, really wanted an explanation of the underlying proof system but all I got was just more intuitive explanations, all of which felt out of place.

What is unusual is that I kept looking. "How to Prove It" was something I really wish I read ahead of calculus. It is only after this book it clicked for me, all of it. Having understood the rules of the game it became possible to play with math..! Which I still do from time to time.

I think that this material should be taught at high school. Bits of it even earlier.

From what I’ve seen normies browse the internet, not the web. Partially because that’s what companies encourage.

Links are for sharing only and even that is primarily for those annoying friends who aren’t on the app you’re using. My girlfriend for example can go hours without ever leaving instagram or tiktok. If the content isn’t natively in there, it doesn’t exist.

And nobody ever clicks links I send them. Have had to start texting (iMessage) screenshots of articles and images or they just get ignored lol

When I publish an article, most readers read it because it lands inside their email app. Short email with link? Nobody clicks that. Long email you can read without leaving gets way more engagement.
"Maximize" on MacOS means "go to the largest useful size", not "fill the screen". It's application and context dependent. ("Fill the screen" is a separate mode which the top comment is complaining about, justifiably IMO.)
What do you mean by 'more effective'?
Isn’t that the “core” principle of being liberal? Free to believe whatever you’re believing in without forcing or shaming others from not following your ideology?. I find it fair to ban the flags as long as other religions can’t announce theirs too like curches bell or mosques Azan or whatever. Why would you teach my kids about X ideology in school while others aren’t allowed to do the same? The meaning of multiculturalism and diversity is not shoving someone ideology into others’, and certainly not getting upset when people don’t like your ideology.
Gah. You’d think people would’ve learnt to not fall for such things by now
There are also character variants. Sometimes between CJK, but also historic.

"How to prove it" is the best book you can find
Recent case in point: Walt Nauta, who got charged along with Trump. Had he just kept his mouth shut, he probably wouldn't have been charged, but they got him dead-to-rights saying stuff they're pretty sure they can prove he was lying about. And this is it "working the way it should".

The darker version is a Federal Agent says you told him something you didn't even say because it helps the case he's building. He asks you to repeat it on record and when you balk, he threatens you with a felony for "lying to a federal agent".

Don't ever do it, even if it's an investigation you're sympathetic to. If _your_ lawyer is there taking notes, they know there's less shenanigans they can pull.
The “run on every commit” stance is an argument against rebasing. Without it you have even more freedom to rebase your branches. And there’s less reason to care about the “true history” (bogus concept).
I hear you, but I do think that what you see in attitudes against the working class is more pronounced in SF than in NYC. I’ll argue it has to do with culture, history, and governance.

Absolutely a big difference between SF and NYC is in governance. In NYC, the city government gets shit done. It does it’s job pretty effectively and efficiently: it’s a city that has nearly 10M people from every corner of the world.

The lack of a tech monoculture is a key differentiator. The bay, and CA to a large extent, suffers from being a cultural one-trick pony: the gold rush. It’s important to never forget about history and how it informs the present. After Spanish, then American, colonization, SF rose to prominence only because of it’s usefulness as a port city for the desperate folks looking to find their payday.

NYC has a subculture that is as greedy and obsessed with money and influence as SF: finance. But it’s only a small part of the overall magnificent NYC cultural fabric. You can go down to wall Street and participate if you want. But you can also make your way and thrive in the city a thousand different ways, with a thousand different groups of people.

SF is just a big little city :-/ It’s got it’s amazing pockets and so much potential. But you’re right: the sane thing to do is short SF until it grows up.
In fact I would go further and say that this stuff is more fundamental. Online recipes make cooking look mysterious and complicated when they're actually "cook each ingredient in the obvious way, measure with your heart, combine the things that go together, and assemble the final dish." It's not "easy just re-derive the formula when you need it" like you see in maths, it's that most dishes you don't need a recipe at all.

Baking is the only thing that requires some science know-how but it has its own building blocks [1] that demystify overly complicated recipes.

There aren't that many "shapes" of dishes.
