Senators launch probe into sale-leaseback company, citing NPR's reporting
The point is that this is not arguing on semantics nor is it as simple as just a "set of requirements" that they just follow. Battling fraud online is an entire business in itself. Take Spotify plays, YouTube views, Google search ranking, Amazon reviews, reddit votes, etc. These organizations have significantly more incentives than GitHub to reduce fraud in these metrics, and while they do, it's still really really hard and it's very easy to show how these metrics are gamed/faked all the time.

It's not a matter of "here is a list of requirements that no one knows about, and here is slight randomness/delay to obfuscate".

How much do you think it takes to pay an actual human from a poor country to come to work each day at 8am, create one github account after another, enter them in a database, and leave at 5pm?

If you want to "study" how github handles stars because there is legitimate financial incentive for you in it, for $100 a day you can pay 10 or 20 of those people to create few thousands accounts a day. Do it few times a month, and throw these accounts in an automated system that creates random repos, pushes a few commits here and there, etc. Also "introduce some slight randomness or delay to obfuscate these events". Do some A/B testing to figure how the 300k accounts under your control affect a repo star system, then advertise a "GitHub stars service" "$0.50 per guaranteed star on Github". Your average VC funded startup could get 10k stars for $5k.They probably give AWS 10 times that a month.

Once github changes their requirements, do more testing, figure out what the requirements now are, then you're back in the game. If people do it all the time to Spotify, YouTube, Google, Amazon, Reddit, and Twitter, why do you think GitHub would somehow crack that nut?

Zildjian cymbals are not any more prone to breaking than other manufacturers'. Whether they sound good to you is another story. :) It's hard to make that judgment about a product line so big and varied anyway.

These days I'm playing Sabians, mostly AAX. Not out of brand loyalty, just cause they all sound pretty good for what I do (loud, fast rock). But I've had a handful of Zildjians that I really enjoyed (wish I still had the 24" A Ping Ride that I broke in high school), some Paistes, a Meinl here, a Byzance there...

I'm sure any competent chemist could figure it out (though it may be some destructive tests and it will cost more money than they are likely willing to spend. For that matter any competent metallurgist can give you a modern alloy that is likely better (alloys are of course a compromise so better in one area may be worse in a different one). Not that is matters as anyone today who wants to cut stone will use modern steel not bronze (unless they are trying to reproduce the old methods which can sometimes be valuable for understanding)

I've been programming for nearly two decades and have a lot of experience in various technologies. Lately I've been doing some fun stuff with Elixir and Zig related to graphics programming. I love working on weird, unknown projects. My wide range of experience (both with and without computers) helps me figure out tasks that don't have much prior art. I'm also equally thrilled by getting into the nitty gritty of deeply technical things like writing parsers for obscure binary formats. If you have some weird ideas that you don't have someone on your team to figure out, let me know!

One of the things miniKanren has going for it is that tons of folk have built little embedded implementations in the whatever your favorite host language is.

Reversible Computing Escapes the Lab in 2025
The litmus I use to determine if I've been promoted to incompetence is whether my presence improves situations or not. There have been cases where I joined projects and didn't improve things or — unfortunately — made things worse.

All you can do is address the problem openly, find strategies to improve the situation, and try to find ways to remedy it.

If you can't, well, you've got to regress a bit and restore a role you're competent in. I think a common strategy is to try and shift blame or manipulate situations so it isn't obviously your incompetence that caused the problem. Many people might even do this without realizing it. I certainly did earlier in my career, but I never intended to lie or trick people. It was mostly the conflation of insecurities and imposter syndrome, along with my inability to ascertain my actual skill level. In self-defence I'd try to protect myself from the reality that I was doing a bad job.

The only way to get promoted without eventually reaching incompetence is to rinse and repeat that process, as far as I can tell.
Issue with PagerDuty App Push Notifications
I was originally thinking about it as like a bazel plugin for large codebases. Each module would have its own LLM context, and it might make it easier to put whole modules into the context, plus summaries of the dependencies. That could work better than a single huge context attempting to summarize the whole monorepo.

The general idea is probably be better for the code use case too, since having the module's whole codebase in context likely allows for more precise edits. Whereas RAG is just search, not edit.

That said, probably code assistants must somewhat do this already, though it must be more ad-hoc. Obviously they wouldn't be able to do any completions if they don't have detailed context of the adjacent code.
Maybe trying to guess who wrote who?
I'm currently learning assembly programming for the original Nintendo Game Boy handheld. There is an actively maintained cross-platform toolchain[0] (a few actually, but I believe I'm using the most common one), and the instruction set is very simple (it's a subset of the Z80) so it's not overwhelming.

The tooling is actually outstanding – from within VS Code I'm able to build my ROM, launch it in an emulator, and even remotely debug it using VS Code's debugger.

I started by following along with a tutorial[1] where you follow along and build a couple games, then moved on to working on my own little project. It has been extremely fun and rewarding so far.

> And now we are getting back to having to deploy those 50 stored procedures to a database to test your code when you branch.
Are you going to use a shared dev database? What happens when other developers are also making changes to other branches?

Valid questions, but there are also valid answers, the primary one is of course "it depends".

Sometimes a shared DB works fine, as long as you manage other work being done to avoid conflicts.

Sometimes an isolated DB is needed for either just this work, or this work plus related project work isolated from other projects.

We do all of the above, and yes it takes effort, but that effort exists regardless of sprocs or not due to the nature of most of our projects and changes, rarely do we have small isolated work.

But I'm guessing our environment is not the same as your based on your statements, this is our environment:

1-Medium sized enterprise which means we run many apps from vendors, some on prem, some in cloud, as well as internally developed apps - in other words it's not a homogeneous environment and we don't control all aspects.

2-Functionality that frequently either sits on the side of operational systems, or in between the operational systems or as a layer on top that is unifying the business activity across systems and realizing a higher level of abstraction and activity.

3-Focus on end to end testing due to higher bug detection rate (i.e. around 70% bug detection) vs unit testing (i.e. around 30% bug detection), and due to work flowing through multiple apps frequently.

> even if you don’t have stored procs, you would keep your schema change sql files in another repo

Our schema changes are typically in the branch being merged and deployed. Our deployment process has pre and post DB actions sections.

But some changes are too big for that type of thing and require multiple day deployments with various business and technical actions happening in a specific sequence across multiple different apps (e.g. hold new activity for set of skus, stores and web site complete final transactions, clear DCs, switch to new process where those skus have a new unique flow through the systems and the enterprise).
iTerm2 increasingly seems too complex and bloated to me, with too many security issues. I haven't shopped for a new terminal emulator on macOS in a long time, but perhaps it's now time.

If that's a question then the answer is yes, there is plenty that is health related in the TNT (explosive) handling regulations.

Simply:

What recommendations has the federal government made to protect human health?

The government has developed regulations and guidelines for 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene. These are designed to protect the public and workers exposed to 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene from potential harmful health effects of the chemical. Since 2,4,6- trinitrotoluene is explosive, flammable, and toxic, EPA has designated it as a hazardous waste. The Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates the transport of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene because it is a hazardous material. DOT specifies that when 2,4,6- trinitrotoluene is shipped, it must be wet with at least 10% water (by weight) and it must be clearly labeled as a flammable solid.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates levels of hazardous materials in the workplace. The maximum allowable amount of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene in workroom air during an 8-hour workday, 40-hour workweek, is 0.5 mg/m3. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends that the concentration in workroom air be limited to 0.5 mg/m3 for up to a 10-hour workday during a 40-hour workweek.

Re: Daily Mail, that link is one of the ones that was fair to the woman. If you do a modicum of research about that (which ought to be interesting to a normal person!) you can find plenty of information, including video of some major network interviewing her neighbors.

>You know fox news represents more than half of the TV news audience, right?

I'm not talking about market share, I'm talking about representation in these institutions. You should know better.

I didn't just make that up about the media being biased toward the left either. It has been proven in multiple surveys and polls. Individual journalists themselves tend to lean left, and so do their agencies overall. Look at how the staff of Washington Post freaked out in response to Bezos telling them to be less biased: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/washingt...

Here's a study you might be interested in, one of many (not that I have a bibliography of this): https://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/2021/10/new-paper-out-the-left-...

If you think more than half of all people prefer Fox News to the rest, that ought to tell you how insufferably biased they are. These used to be well-respected institutions but they have destroyed any semblance of impartiality in writing and good will toward the masses.

Step 2: Blame young adults for spontaneously avoiding those milestones for no reason except their own moral failings

There used to be intense social pressure for young adults to get married whether they wanted to or not -- whether they found a good partner or not -- unless they wanted to live at the margins of society.

At the same time, a house was 4x the median income, where now houses are 9x the median income.

Even as a liberal, what bugs the heck out of me is that almost no Democratic politician/functionary has ever worked in the private sector in any meaningful way. How can they understand anything about the way the business world works, or should work? Answer: they don't.

the role of a government and role of a business have little in common and should seldom-to-never be mixed together. hence businessman should never be in politics and politicians should never go into business... and yet here we are - post-gov career many politicans find themselves in the business sector and now we have these amazing businessman that we are going to let run the government for the next couple of years. like asking a fat kid to handle distribution of apple pies :)
Being able to master the theoretical, practical, and skill-based components of designing a good database schema is the absolute truest test of understanding any systems design.

People skip ahead to all kinds of nonsense; but most of software engineering is putting the right data into the right format, and moving it around reliably.

I just did a major refactor of a complex distributed code base. I pretty much only count the work I did on schema re-design as the actual “job”, the rest was many hours of coding, but that’s really just implementation.

There are other ways to define schema than SQL of course, but it’s really the perfect way to learn true systems engineering.

Introduction to a Self Managed Life
Any thoughts about why I should, on the advent of a second Trump administration, be dismayed about a lack of deference to executive agencies?
I hate this principle. It bases itself on an appeal to nature. It is as if people are born with a hidden upper level of competence that they can never "rise above" while others were born "blessed to be CEO."

The worst part is that people frame it as an argument to avoid promoting. The truth is that people only reach their "level of incompetence" due to arrogance or just by giving up on putting in effort. I have never seen someone humble and curious underperforming for long.

The issue occurs if both of the following conditions are true:

1. Either:
a) You used the it2ssh command, or
b) In Settings > Profiles > General, the
Command popup menu was set to "SSH" (not
"Login Shell", "Command", or "Custom
Command") AND "SSH Integration" was checked
in the SSH configuration dialog. That dialog
is shown when you click the Configure button
next to the ssh arguments field in Settings.

2. The remote host has Python 3.7 or later
