While that was a nice change, don't kid yourself: Github was the dominant platform before that for a reason, and the alternatives were either behind in features or very new. I'm doubtful that if they still had the old pricing structure for private repos that it'd change anything about their success.

Also, the old structure reflected their focus/encouragement of open source, something this change does even more to move away from.

At the same time, I don't view this as a huge issue, though it does make me wish it was easier to get activity details on forks so even if a repo is locked down it would let you see where PRs "went".

Is that 10-20 years number based on anything? I genuinely have no idea, but when I saw a video showing what's happening at the World Humanoid Robot Games[1], I realized I didn't have a good idea of where we really are with robotics.

Ignoring the ironically missing way to respond to the post beyond the consult page, this is something I used to reliably do, for exactly this reason:

> First, it’s positive and affirming in the aggregate. Despite its scale, the internet can be a lonely place. Most creators create in a vacuum. ... Leaving something adds a little humanity to the internet.

I think I'll try better to re-establish this habit.

What cases was it saying it was lying? An average and a median can be drastically different without the average being false, right?

While interesting, I get a few questions from this:

- As another commenter said, this is a known disadvantage of averages. I'm curious if it's possible to get a median result from per-individual averages. I'm not familiar enough with how this research is done to get a result.

- Was any effort made to re-test individuals in a second/third/etc session, showing consistent patterns to the brain activity? I know it was consistent within a session, but I'm curious if it might change week over week.

Except it's not something you can really accurately assess before you start working somewhere.

Are you serious? This is the kind of thing you'd ask a clarifying question on and get information back immediately. Further, the huge overreaction from Hegseth shows this is a fundamental disagreement.

In what business is everyone in the company going business class?

This reads as if it isn't trivial to have an HTTP API for your public API in Erlang/Elixir, which is weird. Sure there isn't an included HTTP API for Erlang processes, but why exactly would you want one? They're not for the public internet, as their an implementation detail of your system. The majority of what they're capable of just isn't relevant to the public internet.

They use it, but the best tend to minimize mutability. And as for object orientation- merely 'having classes' is not the same thing.

It's a normal part of scaling because often bringing in the new technology introduces its own ways of causing the exact same problems. Often they're difficult to integrate into automated tests so folks mock them out, leading to issues. Or a configuration difference between prod/local introduces a problem.

Your DB on the other hand is usually a well-understood part of your system, and while scaling issues like that can cause problems, they're often fairly easy to predict- just unfortunate on timing. This means that while they'll disrupt, they're usually solved quickly, which you can't always say for additional systems.

Genuine question, as I've not invested much into understanding this. What features of the OS would enable these kinds of network restrictions? Basic googling/asking AI points me in the direction of things that seem a lot more difficult in general, unless using something like AppArmor, at which point it seems like you're not quite in OS land anymore.

I'm not a big fan of Go, and I think you could write this about nearly any language.
