> You are capable of making the distinction between IBM selling devices directly to the Nazi government knowing what it might do with them, and Namecheap selling hosting services to average Russians who might be using said hosting to say, run a small business for their basic livelihood, yes?

They are different sides of the same thing. Access to foreign goods and services is a crucial part of maintaining public support for the war. Much like Nazis, Russians too put a lot of effort into maintaining normalcy, that is, keeping up the appearance as if nothing was wrong, that the population should not question what is going on, that they should turn off their brains and focus on running their little lives and doing what they are told to do.

> Russia's government fires missiles at Ukraine, where Namecheap employees live, Some dude in Samara who hosts his family's restaurant page through Namecheap doesn't fire those missiles.

It is exactly the opposite: the men in Kremlin don't fire any missiles at Ukraine. Putin has not raped, tortured or murdered a single person in Ukraine, much like Hitler didn't personally kill a single Jew. Putin doesn't manufacture missiles, doesn't program their targets, doesn't fly bombers or man artillery guns. He is not one of the hundreds of thousands that went to Ukraine for bucks, then returned and renovated a house or opened a restaurant with the money earned killing Ukrainians. Putin would not have any influence on the world without millions of willing executioners who choose to follow him and put his ideas into action, or at least turn a blind eye to it.

You are retelling the same old myth of "Germans as innocent bystanders" that we know from the WWII: pretending that everything was the fault of only one man, and the rest were just following the orders and trying to get by in challenging times.

The actual truth is far more darker, and raises the difficult question: how do you deal with a whole country full of people filled with bloodlust? In Germany's case, it took the total destruction of the country, the hanging of its leaders, systemic banishment of their supporters from public life, and 50 years of Allied oversight to put Germany back on track of being a normal country.

I suspect the only reason Apple rebranded iOS on iPad as iPadOS a few years ago was just to be able to claim it's a separate OS for regulatory reasons, despite it obviously being the same iOS as run on iPhones but on a different form factor device. I'm glad this gambit did not fool the EU.
Except none of that is true.

Presumably you read the summaries to find promising papers where you will read the abstract (which you then follow up by reading the figures, conclusion, discussion, introduction, then the rest, bailing out once you think this isn't a paper you want to read further).

If at any point you figure out the "community abstract" was misleading you can come back and downvote it.

The only issue is if community abstracts get published that make good papers unappealing to read, or if the majority of votes come from people who don't actually engage with the paper
That seems like a rare use case. Surely we optimise for the general use case - you start working on a new server powered platform, and write it once in your stack of choice, and release libraries for clients (mobile apps, integrations, web apps).

Even so, a e2e test suite would surely serve far more utility over a spec that simply stubs out endpoints with no functionality.
> I have trouble viewing this as traditional “deflation” but don’t have the expertise to really understand it. If there is a technological revolution like in the period quoted above, then prices may fall due to things like efficient production.

I think the standard argument for the importance of inflation is focused at least somewhat on the supply side (governments add to the supply to stimulate the economy by devaluing money which people hold). The theory is that the increasing supply disincentives people from just letting their money sit stagnant.

Falling prices due to technical innovations may have a somewhat similar effect (people may hold off on buying a computer if they think the same computer will be 30% cheaper next year) but I think when the cost of things is "too damn high", that deflation can also stimulate purchases.

> > Who benefits from continued inflation? Well, the political and business elites. The biggest debtor in our economies is the state. Also many business elites are highly indebted. They would lose out in a scenario with price deflation.

> It seems like the simplest explanation - this view point in favor of inflation is pushed because there are people who stand to benefit greatly from those conditions. Or is that too cynical?

I'm not entirely sure I agree with this though, at least on the pricing side. When supplies and labor costs more, business operating expenses go up a lot, and the working class demands higher wages (at least in theory). So I think it really depends what is costing less vs costing more. The best case scenario for reducing wealth inequality I think would be labor costs going up while rents, real estate, and consumer goods get cheaper. I'm not sure how this would fare when measured against economic goalposts like GDP though.

> advantages of merge is that you can squash your local commit history

No, it's the other way around. Squashing is a type of rebase.

Most workflows involve both. Merges can also be fast-forward merges, which are indistinguishable from rebases. Choosing between a rebase and a merge operation is often the wrong question to ask. The question is what state you wish the repository to end up in.

> I’m actually curious if it’s wrong

Look at "git log". It is readable and easy to understand? It is obvious why each commit was made, and why alternative solutions were turned down?

Are you able to use "git bisect" to track down problems?

Then you're doing it right. If not, think about what a functional commit log would look like and how you would get there. Working together is culture, and what type of merges you decide to use is just a tiny part of that culture.

A possible solution to this is for large organizations to be intransigent about standards compliance. If your personal mail server rejects mail that isn't well-formed, you're just being a masochist because nobody is going to change for you.

Yeah - you are right. But I like it that I can see how many days are left - even if it's not 100% correct and I get stuck at "5 minutes before 12" because then I see that it can appear every time.
Maybe I'll add an option for another representation... something like the commit graph in github (don't know the name...) That would be nice too.

To compare the cycle length there is an extra statistic section. I want to add a graph there to make the fluctuations more clear.
Great to hear that you got into such a position, wishing you the best. Never experienced anything even close to what you have gone through (besides a brief stint of excessively long hours), but have come to realize that there is a lot of value in openly sharing with people what they can be worth when they are potentially exploited or making less than their peers for similar (or greater efforts). As you've said, it's unfortunately often about self-esteem and confidence, with people not realizing what value they have and compensation they should receive.

Given the sad state of affairs with search engines these days I most often go straight to github for code related searches.

And, as much as I hate websites profiling me, I discovered plenty of emacs packages I use every day from github suggestions.
(that wasn't his point, but) Just elide the copula, mutatis mutandis.

For instance, in BELTABOL[0], an is-y language in lang belta[1], statements are (insofar as possible) in grammatical belter creole, which elides present tense to be. The missing copula is in square brackets in the translation below:

Spec-first approach works better when client and server teams work on their parts simultaneously and need some contract before the implementation starts.
There have been various efforts to estimate the effect piracy has on revenue like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15319476 or http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Another-view-of-game-piracy

So depending on product category it might be a large drop (EU study finds -38% displacement rate for books) but it might also be a boost (EU study finds +24% for video games), and it is hard to say in general, since even a 90% piracy rate might only mean a maximum of 5%-10% lost sales (from the wolfire blog post). Either way it isn't at the level of "impossible to succeed".

If we are talking about app stores specifically, I bet a much bigger factor in (lack of) success is discoverability, both because your app is literally hard to find and because app store owners allow a flow of cheap clones to compete with your genuine app.

> It's as if you called someone on the phone and said "Hi!" and then put them on hold!

I called an australian government phone line recently, i was queued, then informed i could press 1 to register for a callback. I pressed 1. Then I was prompted to say my name, I did that. Then I hung up.

Some time later, I was indeed called back - by a robot. The robot greeted me, informed me it was calling back, and requested that I pass the phone to <my name recorded from earlier>. The robot then queued me and prompted me to press 1 when <my name recorded from earlier> was on the line. Since that was me, I pressed 1. After a bit more time being queued, I was transferred to a human operator.

edit: this seems quite bemusing / irritating, but to give the designer of this callback mechanism a little more credit, it was a phone line that businesses would call -- it would not be uncommon for person A to call from a business phone line, with the callback to the company line being answered by some other person B.

If my grandmother hadn't been forced to learn ikebana as a young woman and continued that on her own in the US as a florist, and if I hadn't had to help her while I was growing up, I in all likelihood would never have been able to appreciate a good table setting or any of the floral arts, let alone thought to learn them as an independent pursuit - it had to start somewhere.

As an adult, I love it, and it used to melt the stress off my ex's face during the holidays when she was planning everything else and I said I'd take care of decorating.

Mother's Day is fast approaching, but there's never a bad time to appreciate what the women in your life have taught you and reflect on the effort it took to learn and pass it down.
I think that might have been the case a while ago but they have even dropped .net-core and it's now just .net and cross platform.

It appears to have been the case since .net 5 (2020) (I've also stopped paying attention to MS a bit before then).

"Yes, .NET 5 is cross-platform and can be installed on Linux, Mac, and Windows. It aims to provide a consistent development experience across platforms by unifying different .NET flavors, including .NET Core, .NET Framework, .NET Standard, and Mono. .NET 5 also aligns all frameworks to support a common set of APIs, making it easier to build cross-platform libraries."
And C# is the nicest of them (because other options are worse in one aspect or another, especially performance).
It's the other way around. Translating a problem with a known complexity class to the new problem(in time P) indicates the complexity class.

I have a complicated relationship with this situation. On the one hand, just tell me what you want. On the other hand, if you feel rude go ahead and send me a hello first. But on the other other hand it distracts me until you say what you want. But on the other other other hand if I'm doing something else I shouldn't be stopping to check my chats which are necessarily not urgent. But on the other other other other hand what if it is urgent? So then I check it and it just says "Hello". And I can see them typing so I wait 3 or 4 minutes. And then they stop and the typing bubbles go away, so I go back to what I was doing and then they finally send their question: "How are you?"
As a counterexample, the other day I found my old Nexus 5, from 2013, running Android 6. While it was not completely straightforward, I was able to reset the phone and link it to a new Google account, and after several cycles of updates the entire Google suite seems to work, including Maps, and not slowly at that. I was, and still am, genuinely impressed.

The typical GitHub project I end up using as a tool or a dependency: hundreds to thousands of stars, a good number of issues and PRs, signaling at least a moderate degree of battle-hardening. (Star farming is a thing but I don’t think it’s a big problem in general.)

The typical GitLab project I land on through a search engine: ~0 stars, extremely low issue/MR engagement. Even when it’s like the only game in town for a moderately popular use case. Hardly distinguishable from my private repos in terms of human involvement.

Parent fully acknowledges this. If anything, bringing up "but Github makes money!" is a strawman, as the risks associated with this was already aknowledged. Why is the Free and Open Source community so alergic to anything making money? We all understand that Github and Microsoft are companies that exist to make money. Pointing that out is the "I am very intelligent" https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/we-should-improve-society-som...

This is V0, the actual requirements are regulations, which can be updated really easily. Much easier to pass a law with very basic requirements and increase them later.

I just adjust the amount of time I spend online down in order to compensate for the added emotional strain, and also adjust what sorts of social media I interact with to ensure it is sustainable. I've also been slowly learning how to just disengage after a certain point: if a discussion really seems like it's going down the drain or not going to go anywhere useful then I'm learning to sort of just let someone else have the last word and move on, which has been good for my health. I don't want to engage with someone that isn't going to meet me on some fair level of discourse.

Because you are correct, making top level posts on a twitter-like social media constantly with this ethos was actually so emotionally exhausting for me it physically affected my health, but the solution to that is just to not do that anymore.

Also, I do this not because I've arbitrarily decided that I've got to bear this cross, as you say, but because it is my default mode of interaction, in fact the only one I know, and it's something I very much like about myself that I always interact in this manner, and I think trying to learn how to be less genuine and less invested and less open, even if just for my online interactions, would sincerely leak out into my character in general in a way I don't like. So I'm not really doing it out of a sense of duty, but essentially out of a sense of convenience, because I don't want to have to go through the effort of learning how to context switch between a mode of interaction for being online and a mode of interaction for being offline.
That's just regular "learning". It's just that for some people it's a bit out of fashion.

Well, in my country there's been multiple scandals about waste handling where it was found very little ended up being recycled, the sorting people did in some cases created more pollution because it had to be transported and huge amounts ended up in big dumps of toxic assorted garbage either here or in some third world country where kids then make a few cents a day scavenging in the toxic piles.

So yeah, i'm sceptical. There's a reason it's called reduce, re-use, recycle as a very distant third as far as i've seen.

C# is very good as a language, have developed in it for 5+ years. The problem is the gap between what MSFT promises to management and actually delivers to developers when it comes to the ecosystem of libraries that you want to use with C#. You really really need to fully read the fine print, think of the omissions in documentation and implement a proof-of-concept that almost implements the full solution to find out the hidden gotchas.

For example, even probably their best product VS Code only got reasonable multiple screens support last year: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecommen...

And then, on the other end of the spectrum, you have Teams and ecosystem surrounding it. The "fun" of Teams bot integrations and the mess with SDKs and SDK documentation for it — never again.

This is in essence what a service like Bark.com does.

Not to say your version doesn't sound distinct. 'Bounties' sound more direct than Bark's system of scoring leads and charging for credits and credit packs. (a more detailed lead/bounty costs more credits/money to bid for). It sounds like your version would be a bounty being a budget from the poster and you'd take either a flat fee per bounty or a %?

There may be reasons why Bark runs the model on credits (perhaps it simplifies their service?) but I personally like the angle you have if it means the Bounty shows the client budget up front. It's a weakness of Bark that jobs posted often lack budget information, making it hard to assess if a job is worth taking. On the other hand, the startups and small businesses posting jobs often have no idea how much to offer for a budget. That's a pain point you should look at addressing too.

Essentially: definitely a market for this, it's all going to be in the execution, your idea sounds more direct than a leading competitor, but how do you deal with job posters who don't know how big a bounty should be?
Yup, essentially what I think. With the caveat that I find the act of programming to be one of the best ways to deeply explore, understand and learn things. So in other words: I see a lot more value in coding than I see in code.

I'm sure it's not the only way, not in the long run anyway.
