I am from Switzerland and we had for years a home-grown competitor called galaxus/digitec which basically did the same as amazon just much better without the cheap crap. And it is flourishing. It has fast shipping, easy return, amazing UI and competitive prices. They even included statistics on return and warranty they gathered.

To me when I started buying stuff at amazon and then a package comes 3 weeks later from china (looking like aliexpress) I was so pissed. Only if I truly know what I buy and it’s the cheapest I buy on Amazon, else no. It could be its end and a good way for a healthy competition to come in.
Maybe, but it’s always fun to get to be hyper specific and quibble about things, so I can at least thank you for providing something for me to comment on this evening. Seriously, like I said in my reply to a sibling comment, I was being picky about my personal preferences and interpretation of the parent question.
I've found that there are mainly two kinds of tickets:

1. The perfunctory kind, where you make the ticket just to track the work, when the work is already obvious and well-known. There's no discussion in the ticket; you just create it, do the work, and close it.

2. The kind where you end up with a lot of back and forth between various stakeholders about what the requirement/feature/whatever is, or about how to reproduce a bug that needs to be fixed, or something like that. In this case, there's a lot to wade through, and while the history can be an interesting artifact as to how everyone got to the end state of the git commit that closed the issue, it's overly wordy.

And sure, there are tickets that are somewhere in between.

But ultimately I think the kinds of tickets that are closer to #1 don't even need a reference in the git commit, because pretty much all of the ticket's text should be in the commit message anyway. And for #2, there's way too much information in the ticket anyway; it should be distilled down to the important details for the commit message. And yes, a reference to the ticket should be provided as well, for people who want or need to wade in to get the full context. But that goes at the end of the commit message, after the change has been adequately described.

> "not maintaining history" is absolutely a critical fail at that org

Absolutely agree! But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen (and often!), and when it does, all your ticket references become useless, so you'd better have a good, thorough description in the commit message, or all context is lost.

> Every decent tracking system I can think of has ways to import issues from other systems

But almost universally you end up with new ticket IDs when that happens, so the references in the commit messages become useless. Sure, many of those importers will start off the description in the imported ticket with something like "Imported from JIRA ID FOO-123", but that requires extra effort to search. Sure, if you migrate from one instance of JIRA to another instance of JIRA, there are ways to keep those links intact/redirected, but I'm not aware of any ticketing system that somehow preserves URLs/IDs from completely different ticketing systems.
The Five Day Week
I am the author. Thanks for posting the Financial Times link, it is a nice entry point.
Though porn advertisements can pop up when you're just minding your own business. The other day a friend of mine was doing perfectly mundane research, and they were shown ads with full nudity. (Yes, I know, they should install an ad blocker, that's not the point.)

That I do think is pretty messed up, and potentially something to pass legislation about. Some people want to opt out of pornography altogether, and their choice should be respected. As should the choice of people who do consume pornography, but aren't choosing to do so at this moment.
This may well be for the best. It's good to fight against bad traditions, but don't use your kids as the battlefield. Being forced by their parents to be "different" can really make a kids' life into hell.
Internal combustion piston engines weren't used much for blue water ships in the World Wars. Steam engines, both piston and turbine, were more common for power, cost, and efficiency reasons. ICEs were mostly used on smaller boats, as well as submarines.

ICEs were crucial for aviation during the World Wars. Even today we're barely able to build electric airplanes that can go anywhere.
That’s basically what the sibling comment was saying, i.e. I was the one being overly narrow in my interpretation of your question. And in light of that and your clarification, the list is more than accurate to cover nearly all the common options.
- No preprocessor nonsense

- typesafe metaprogramming (usually no void* type erasure)

- sane legibility of complicated types

- (for beginners) not having to learn/deal with make

- corrects the long long mistake (yes, I get that everyone uses inttypes.h now)

- alignment aware pointer types

- null aware pointer types

- null terminated string aware pointer types

- slices (fat pointers?) default

- sane cross-compilation

- errors returned as values, no errno weirdness

- no pass-by-value/pass-by-reference ambiguity (const correctness by default)

At least four of these are footguns my highly experienced coworkers would have avoided this last week of work alone.

It's possible that as a longtime c developer, you have internalized the biggest problems with c, especially the ones that trip up beginners. Maybe zig is not for you. If you start using zig, you just may start wanting to throw your desk out the window every time you have to go back to c, which is not really worth the effort/employmemt sanity risk.
I'll reply to this comment, just in case anyone else is curious.

The origin of the language: gingerBill got drunk one night and wrote a compiler. Seriously though, it was an attempt to create a language that would be a reasonable C alternative - simple semantics, usable for performance-critical applications (mainly games and engines), good support for tooling. I would also describe it close to something with underlying mechanics of C combined with the niceness of Go. Odin does improve on Go in a lot of places.

The use cases would be similar to C or C++. There's not much different in the way of memory management / the way objects are stored in memory etc. There is a concept of an allocator which could make Odin a better candidate for good performance when you allocate memory (i.e. putting everything on heap can be slower than bump allocators)

Some of the coolest features I've found using the language - bitsets (make a set of flags out of an enum), slices, which C didn't have but are so nice to use, the or_return, or_continue and or_break operator (hello, Go programmers, tired of writing if err != nil yet?).

Language comparisons:

unlike C: Has simpler syntax, easy to parse, has slices, bitsets, sized enums, templates.

unlike C++: doesn't have operator overloading, has simpler semantics, the standard library is readable.

unlike Rust: no borrow checker, limited lifetime checking (can detect using stack values that have dieded), no lifetime annotations, limited support for typeclasses, no pattern matching, no traits. I wouldn't compare it to Rust, honestly, it's a different kind of language.

unlike Go: I haven't used Go in a while so forgot a few details, don't quote me on these: it doesn't have var syntax for declaring values, you can not shadow tuple declarations at all, support for or_return syntax, tuple returns can be used to saturate arguments of another function, doesn't have garbage collection. Doesn't have a package manager.
I am sure there are many organizational reasons, but the mere existence of a first-party “fix search engine results” app implies that personalized search must be broken for enough people to warrant its creation.

> Mediocre talent will do much worse work if not bound to process

Maybe top talent also does worse work sans process, but they get away with it. That's my experience: Many take advantage of their power to disregard process (sometimes as a demonstration of power), which hurts the team, and undermines and creates extra work for others, but the top talent's contributions create a net gain.
With partners of similar ages?

That's their business. Kids mature at different rates.
When you use 'Send to Kindle' to send an epub to your device, you are not reading an epub. In the link above, it mentions how Kindle converts epub to an Amazon format before allowing your device to read it. Amazon's formats on the whole are inferior, with poor rendering capabilities, and an automatic conversion means all bets are off in terms of what the ebook will look like.

Kindle will not natively support epub until you can connect it to a USB cable, transfer an epub using a file manager, and it does not get secretly converted.
I think that porn might have no positive purpose for you. But for me, it's been huge. I've met some of my best friends though furry conventions coordinated on 'porn sites'. I'm in several telegram groups where artists are pushing the state of the art with AI, integrating it into their workflows to make really beautiful pieces, this catalyzed some of my own interest in AI and is the main reason I'm learning more about Stable Diffusion and following these StatQuest videos on neural networks with the hope of eventually pivoting my career in that direction.

Finally, I'm a MAP and I use (drawn) cub pornography as a way to alleviate my sexual urges, helping me remain a productive non-dangerous member of society. Are you really saying that for someone like me porn has no positive purposes?
all I am saying is every deep learning book I have ever opened is filled with mathematical stuff like this. I want to learn the mathematics for it but I need a starting point. Isnt there atleast one book in the entire world written with this in mind?
Huh.. yeah.. so then why doesn't Firefox/Chrome open it?
OpenAI came up with its guidelines on prompting. I created a GPT assistant to help me improve the prompt based on that.
https://chat.openai.com/g/g-haH111AXX-prompt-optimizer

The results are good, and improve the output quality significantly. Small manual QC and tweaks further improve the responses.
So, in that case, you could then file a bunch of fraudlent DMCA notices against them in return. If there is no remedy for this, then it's not like someone couldn't do this to them also?
You're thinking of a-Shell, which does offer compiled & locked binaries in a command line environment on iOS (via "ios_system"). Even then, they also support running WASM/WASI modules in a-Shell's command line environment.
The main thing I've figured out is that people have never heard of the Chinese room argument.
TT is just a tagged file format, just like WAV, TIFF, MOV, MP4, etc.

It's probably closer to quicktime, which are the basis of mp4.
No, there's nothing wrong with that at all!

However, that works both ways. It's wrong to say someone is "disrespectful" and "misunderstanding quality goods" because they don't want to get their kid a $450 bag instead of a cheaper, still-durable one.
I bought my first set of Solar Panels 33 years ago. Those panels are still on the roof, have had zero maintenance, and are still happily running my small fridge.

The Battery story is somewhat different. My first set of batteries finally died a few years ago. Likewise I've probably replaced three or four inverters in that time.

Whatever, my off-grid Solar power system has repayed itself many times over.
My work isn't what I would call highly professional in terms of infra, but for us the old URL from our Jira move is dead and gone (including the parent domain) but the ticket references work in the new instance (redirecting to a new project name also). I think you just have to pick your poison, nothing's going to work all the time without small amounts of effort from IT.
as a guy not familiar with this math, i am not sure if i should rely on Chat GPT or not. I use GPT only for tasks I am familiar with
Exactly! Living standards have grown (as have life expectancies), and people are as such much more ambitious.
This is why App Store needs 'conceptual approvals'. I would never build anything 'cool' on iOS knowing that 'cool' things tend to piss off Apple.
What you describe feels like a good way to write code for the Arduino platform.
because it is... they realized that they were giving us too much power.
If it starts a precedent, and someone was willing to take the hit, then this could be a way of getting back at fraudulent DMCA takedowns.
I've felt the same argument can work for many things. I've heard the same excuse about kids but I don't buy it. Humanity has had children in much more terrible times. For not having kids, my hunch is that we just don't want to anymore for convenience. For sex, I think it's our sedentary lifestyle.
The lack of this feature on Google shows whose interests they truly have at heart.
author says:

> end up in a labyrinth of documents, encumbered by stiff structures

Few lines down, a structure is proposed: single Jira board, Epics for decision, and duplicated task tickets (both in Jira and in Github).. Sounds like a pretty stiff structure.

I don't see the point of the article - author says there are too many alternatives (which I fully agree with), but their solution is two specific ones... How is this going to prevent fragmentation if team A goes with github while team B decides to use Atlassian instead?
And then, we’ll be able to work ‘only’ 4 days a week! ;)

«It’s probably not a stretch to say that these are the most famous graphs in history»

Hmm no, its a long stretch
In the documentary I linked above the museum was up front about knowing they had some fakes and were continuing to investigate. They didn't have to appear in the documentary and admit some embarrassing missteps, but did and seemed up front about it.
When I was in school in the 80s-90s I pretty much nevvvverrrr saw kids reusing bags for multiple years.

I think cheap bags were just crappier back then

But even the Jansports seemed to get replaced. I think kids were just rougher on their bags back then. I remember my bags absolutely bulging with 4-5 big hardbound textbooks. Don't see that much any more.
Amazon has a 30 day return policy.

Temu has a 90 day return policy.

And Temu is generally cheaper.
Most GUI apps are noisy as hell in their output.

> Not all dogs freak out at fireworks. The ones that do are more than likely scared of thunder too, and we can't ban that.

> Soldiers can have PSTD triggers from a variety of sources. Car backfire, crowds, news, lightening...

Sure, but just because you can't eliminate all triggers doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't reduce the quantity and/or severity of some of them.
Yes, but if you run git bisect and then try to run your unit tests, a failure that was intentional will tell the bisect to potentially divide the commits at the wrong point.

You'd need to either exclude the test (probably not a great idea) or mark the commits as skippable. Also not a great idea.
I was randomly re-watching some Youtube video on solving exponential equations and was poking around solving some, using the log() function in R to do the logs, and got to thinking about the "old days" when you had to look these things up in log tables. And that led me to think "Wait, how did the first log tables get written in the first place? And for that matter, how exactly do you work out a log value the manual way anyway???"

A few moments of Googling turned this up. Thought some other folks might find this topic interesting as well.

One fun aspect of all this, is that it forces you to consider that thinking of exponentiation as "repeated multiplication" is a bit dodgy when you allow for decimal exponents. I mean, given 3^2.5, what does it mean to say "multiply 3 by itself 2.5 times?" Actually, thinking about that was the thing that really set me off on an exploration of how the heck they worked out these log values in the beginning.
I have a saying, “Capitalism is the means by which we screw each other over.” But it’s better than the alternative “Communism, the lack of means by which we screw each other over.”

I don’t think Socialism is the answer, which is simple Capitalism with bits of Communism sprinkled in to soothe over the more egregious failures (or to pretend to do, which is even worse).

We need something truly new.
Hello! Author here. Pleasantly surprised to see this on the front page! I thought I'd address a couple of questions here:

- Why is it so expensive?

You can definitely buy cheaper randoserus made in China and these are giving lower-end Japanese manufacturers a run for their money. For example, https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/dp/B09H5RLGQF is around 45 dollars.

Even off-the-shelf Japanese randoserus are cheaper than the customized ones.

For an example of the well-thought out design of randoseru, this video does a good job: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WtWiuWBU9r8

Some basic reasons for the high cost are: materials (leather, fake leather) are expensive, there are many parts, manual assembly, and the variations and customizations don't lend themselves to scale.

This article lists some reasons Japanese randoseru are so expensive: https://rand--torisetu-com.translate.goog/kakaku?_x_tr_sl=au... .

- What happens after 6 years?

Randoseru often last longer with good care, and are in fact passed down. Many organizations also collect and donate used randoseru to the less privileged. There are also businesses that will recycle the high quality materials into other accessories: See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHcgol5i7gs
Really? More power to kids of ANY similar age having sex with each other?
The other observed behavior is that it has done a couple of things: sets ridiculous/false expectations, second desensitizes or commodifies sex (so in order to become aroused, despite having the partner right there, they need pornography to get them in the mood.) Not sure how much distortion has happened but it has to some degree.
Again, never said the education was bad! Just that their purpose isn’t to educate as evidenced by the fact that they don’t let in 95% of those that apply. Maybe Brown MSCS is 94%, I don’t know.
What I'm picking up is that being asked to do work that doesn't have a real benefit and being kinda lied to about it is the issue. Ya?

Help me tie it back to being a viewer or consumer of media. I'm not finding a clear path back to the original topic of seeing representation and feeling a certain way
Thanks for your response.

There was plenty of innovation clear to anyone with the proximity and education to recognize it, but your questions raise intractable issues of the proprietary information of any large corporation.

From my naive college kid's vantage point, the majority of innovation was tactical and not tied to core competencies owing to the siloed nature of communication between management and technical layers; i.e. it's difficult, if not impossible, for innovation to pass through that gated silo without a catalyst to nurture and support its transformation from tactical to strategic. This is a fundamental problem of complementary assets and the need for interdisciplinary culture that accrues to their composition, complexity, and collaborative community.

We could certainly debate whether this is the crux of "The Corporation" over the last twenty years of acquisitions seemingly aimed at silencing competition.

Of the two companies I worked with in that time period thirty years ago, both of their nail-in-the-coffin, final acquisitions approached $20 billion. Innovation has a way of disappearing in the dark subtext of large corporate acquisitions.

The "never given a chance to thrive" is insightful beyond US Steel. That is, well into modern tech startups that are managed by the same kinds of people who managed GM in the 1970's.
Sadly most don’t have the time or energy to find that purpose, precisely cause it’s all been spent on work
We needed very durable backpacks when I was in high school because our books were so heavy, and my school had no lockers (so you were carrying 4-5 textbooks at all times). But as students have shifted to online learning platforms, wouldn't they have less of a need for extremely sturdy/roomy backpacks? I recently spoke to a college grad who said that all of his learning in HS was online, meaning he never needed to carry any textbooks. Do they not use online learning materials as much in Japan? Or is this a cultural phenomenon that will change slowly, even though the need has changed?
Getting better, definitely. I've been using it since beta, and while in the early days I'd use !g often to switch to Google, it's been months since doing that has made a difference. These days, if Kagi can't find it, Google can't either.
Sadly, that is also true.
You could indeed (temp-)ban them based on logs. Of course it is a huge improvement, if you catch offending IPs early, they never hit any app.
I’m with you on that. I’ve had a north face bag for almost 20 years (and it looks like it!) but it’s still strong as can be.

The unfortunate thing is I was in the market for a new bag and went to the north face store of course and the only bag they had in the whole store was some shoestring style bag. Quite disappointing to see north face forget their roots.
Indeed, although because I heavily utilized Docker I also ended up using UFW-Docker. It was fairly straightforward to incorporate into my startup scripts.

Ah, I think I remember bookmarking this when it was posted before. You really don't have to go very far in computing to find a frontier where most everything in described pure mathematics and so it becomes a substantial barrier for undiversified autodidacts in the field. The math in these areas can often be quite advanced and difficult to approach without the proper background and so I appreciate anyone who has made taken the time to make it less formidable to others.
Well, sure, but who knows if you're actually getting the genuine product?
I would be worried about that.. had some gaffer's tape in my car's interiors, left horrible residue after a year or so.
There's been several attempts at noninvasive biosensing using techniques like Raman spectroscopy, but it's a lot harder to make it reliable than people estimate. Apple recently shelved its program for doing glucose sensing from the watch, which I remember Tim Cook had remarked would be straightforward. On top of that, the places where DARPA wants these sensors to be deployed (MCIs, trauma victims) make for very difficult sensing environments (due to blood loss, shock, hyperglycemia etc)
Definitely interesting to me!

I suppose everything is situation dependent, but what is the most extreme injury which would not receive a Black? If someone lost a limb and likely to bleed out - would that be deemed worth treatment?
Many of these are improvements on C++, too. Zig is pretty compelling in the space.
