Since every matrix server requires you create its own user id, I never understood the benefit of being federated.

Which is why I said he should be more upfront about it. I had to find that statement buried after 30 minutes of reading how amazing fossil was.

>Git focuses on individual branches, because that is exactly what you want for a highly-distributed bazaar-style project such as Linux. Linus Torvalds does not want to see every check-in by every contributor to Linux: such extreme visibility does not scale well. Contrast Fossil, which was written for the cathedral-style SQLite project and its handful of active committers

Ugh...so after all that fanfare of how amazing fossil is, the author admits it just doesn't scale well. I was wondering how that "see it all" approach worked for a busy repo, and now I know, it just doesn't.

I love SQLite, and glad the primary author is happy working on it with fossil. I think if he published it's largest downfall first, it might gain more adoption to folks that could actually use that feature.

If you use double ampersand, yes. One amp will kick them off consecutively, but they will run concurrently.

In 2023? I would argue image/video editing for sure.

> Although DevEx is complex and nuanced, teams and organizations can take steps toward improvement by focusing on these three key areas.

I feel like they are aware that not everything fits into the framework perfectly, but if your organization was trying to improve DevEx, this framework is a place to start.

Uhhh..probably you and .2% of hiring managers. I've never cared when hiring, and have never heard this advice anywhere but this post. No offense, but if it was as common as 10%, recruiters and bloggers would be suggesting it left and right.

What is absolute pitch?

people are saying this is "fake" because the overall motions were programmed ahead of time.

However, picking stuff up perfectly, placing it, and jumping, just using sensors - which is what this is really illustrating - is not that fake to me.

I could imagine this robot being used by airlines to move baggage. A confined set of pre-programmed movements with the only variable being the luggage on a cart, and a human supervisor. It reduced the back-breaking task of moving luggage to a just a normal "stand there and press buttons" type of job. Easier to higher for, maintain that crew member, and less injuries to baggage handlers.

The article is paywalled. The fact that there is a paywalled news sight just for propane is interesting in itself though.

> So I think the problem here is not that crypto isn’t a ponzi scheme, it certainly is. But if so, then what part of the financial services industry can claim that it isn’t also?

Stocks that pay dividends aren't ponzi schemes.

Bonds that use the money to pay for public infrastructure aren't ponzi schemes.

And on that note, private companies that use the funds from the sales of stock in order to actually provide a good or service, would also qualify as non-ponzi scheme.

Are there ponzi schemes on Wall St? Plenty. But most of it? No.

He could forgoe 75% of his compensation though, and I doubt he will, because not actually accountable.
