systematical

I am/was using Travis for my open source projects. I started noticing my builds taking forever. I did some checking around and decided its just easier to move to github actions rather than figuring things out.

It will be a slow but easy migration.

Tax the rich not the workers. While I realize the article says it will be paid by employers, that will be turned on us.

We're talking in hypothetical's. If we are sending trash into space (as the comment above me suggested) then why not send it to the Sun and incinerate it. Of course there is no way to make this economical, even with a space elevator it would probably be too costly.

If it were affordable you could just send it to the sun.

Yup glass and metal only. Water tastes terrible out of anything else. Beer too.

Six months of development is barely useful for most companies. It can take 3 months before a developer is reasonably efficient. Learning the codebase, culture, and business logic takes time in most cases.

https://www.spacejam.com/ scores 72% of users liking that site. Okay. I guess it takes nastolgia into account...

I wonder how my geocities page from elementary school ranks?

Not affiliated with namecheap but I only use namecheap.

I was just following orders.

I was given some nebulous answer and well I have my own OSS projects on the side that I care more about so I don't care to push that. WTS. I would be happy to do the last mile on my own, but I am not going to fight for it. It should instead be encouraged buts its not. So here we are. I have good contributions to make but don't. Some good OSS projects losing out and by a thin proxy, many other three letter agencies.

The most I do is contribute to OSS documentation on gov time and just don't bring it up. Also fix issues by replying to issues since thats not code.

They said a mask won't prevent you from getting it or prevent spread. Just wash your hands. It didn't make much sense to me that respiratory virus wasn't transmissible through the air, but I washed my hands like they said. The Trump tapes prove they knew about its air spread as late as early February. Who knows how many lives this cost? You could argue it may have saved some as well. You can't argue we weren't lied to.

I work as a government contractor. We've fixed bugs in OSS that we've used, but been unable to contribute the fixes back. This is a huge hassle because we are now on a fork and have to deal with merges from upstream, it will get worse over time.

More recently I developed a missing (in my view) extension to a piece of software. Too make this OSS-able would take a few extra hours and I wouldn't mind doing that step on my own time. But that's a nope.

So we can use OSS, we can modify OSS, but we can't contribute PRs or new software. At least for the three letter agency I work with. Lots of the type of applications being developed in the public sector aren't really any different then private sector. They take data in, they do something with it, and they output data. If the software doesn't require a security clearance, you should be able open source it IMO or at least contribute PRs.

Most didn't work and when it did well wtf is this http://ngazzokah.org/

I rarely find myself fixing things in Ubuntu, there is a level of acceptance though on certain things not always panning out the way I'd want. I've gotten very good a reading reviews on peripherals I buy to make sure they are compatible. There is the occasional UI glitch as well. I will probably use a different O.S. once I move laptops in three years (I buy a new laptop once every 5 years).

Regarding MacOS. I am using this for the first time at work and I don't know how you could go from a rich APT ecosystem to a so-so brew ecosystem. And really fuck the Command Key and all the other weird Mac-isms. I don't see the value in that over priced hipster operating system, but if thats where your at home than enjoy your home. Oh and I'm still trying to figure out if Docker is a comedy or tragedy on Mac.

Abundant energy is the way to a post scarcity society.

This is awesome, but I think these will need an EOL/self-destruct mechanism. What happens if these things just linger in the body after performing a function like destroying cancer cells?

I've been saying for years we should switch to credit card numbers which are a nice easy sha512

What about amazon?

and why more importantly

Fair point.

umm...why? Its worked well for me, over 10 years now.

Funny I upgraded to ubuntu 20 from 18 last night. Ruby sass wouldn't work anymore. Why? Well just read what the maintainer said...

"When Natalie and Hampton first created Sass in 2006, Ruby was the language at the cutting edge of web development, the basis of their already-successful Haml templating language, and the language they used most in their day-to-day work."

The page continues...

"Since then, Node.js has become ubiquitous for frontend tooling while Ruby has faded into the background."

So I installed the nodejs version. And in a few years I'll move over to the next fad....

It's not just SF. Why am I paying $2,000 for a 1BR apartment in DC when I now work from home and there is nothing to do in the area? My lease is up in November and I am going to month-to-month while I decide.

Likewise. I built a whole back-end in PHP 5 back in 2009 for a client. His front-end has changed a ton in that time, but the backend is still chugging a long in PHP 7 with no problems.

I like the constructor property promotion, union types, improvements to exceptions and try/catch. Lots to like here.

Attributes worry me. Annotations are generally an eye sore to me, but in some places could be justified. For the most part, outside of Symfony, they were not used much. I'm worried that some developer will go bonkers with them, create a nightmare, and that will be the next legacy code base I inherit 5 years down the line.

Named arguments is okay I suppose, but IDEs solve knowing the order of arguments. I guess the IDEs will implement an auto complete for named arguments? I guess thats okay, but it will require more vertical code if you care about your lawn and keep your code in the PSR margins.

All in all I think this is a solid major, not the quantum leap we got from 5 to 7, but these are good additions. I'm sure we'll see plenty of decent additions in the minors.

nothing wrong with switch statements.

There was a bullet in there regarding "poor system cohesion — SQL does not integrate well enough with application languages and protocols." I was curious to hear the authors thoughts on this. I feel ORMs have mostly solved this even while introducing their own set of problems and learning curves. And when you're done fighting your ORM on those bitchy <= 1% queries, well, you just write SQL.

Not only this, but resources GALORE since its been around longer than the internet and has been used by just about every developer. Java, Python, C#, Node, PHP etc... they all know SQL.

That really depends. What if they require a login that uses a cookie based session? What about CSRF tokens? What if they put in a captcha cause your requests look funny. At some point it quickly goes from API to BOT.

They ruined the ThinkPad line, please sell it to someone who can restore the brand.
