My read on the situation is that Zelensky is willing to make any deal for lasting peace. Meaning, if a deal is made and Russia ignores the ceasefire or continues its invasion in a month or year, what will happen to them? This is literally w

Those tax cuts will heavily favor the wealthy. So I guess it depends on your belief in whether trickle down economics works. Additionally, the Federal Government is the largest employer in the country. If you both lay off a significant port

To add to your list, Federal Spending represents 23% of GDP. If you cut Federal Spending you cut GDP. And if you take just a sliver of any of that spending and think about it critically, you can imagine the ripple effects it will cause. Cut

One thing to keep in mind that Federal Spending represented 23.4% of GDP in 2024. Around 12% of that is defense spending. I have yet to see any way these cuts do not result is massive decreases in GDP. Even if all of it is redirected to def

I work for a large financial institution and we've been migrating our Fed network processing to ISO20022. All financial institutions we work with, and vendors who process payments for fraud and such, are also doing so. I'm highly

There are a lot of hurdles. I'm not exactly sure why an end-user would even want to use ISO20022. Some end-user system may use ISO20022 behind the scenes, but the UI's are very simplified. ISO20022 as far as I have used it (20+ ye

As of early next year, the Fed (US) will not accept anything other than ISO20022 messages on their networks. So any banks that are using Fed networks are required to use ISO20022.

I am currently implementing an ISO20022 integration at a large financial institution. The way these generally work is that whatever network you're connecting with will require a certain standard number of an ISO20022 message. When you

The Great Lakes area is unable to produce food for about 6 months out of the year. So as long as people in the Great Lakes are eating preserved foods only during that time. I am fine with that trade.

In my opinion there are a few reasons to attend college: 1. You legitimately want to expand human knowledge beyond what exists. This should be the ultimate goal of a PHD. Whether or not this produces important output (in the capitalistic se

I used to think this way. I have 3 kids, the oldest of which is now in her mid teens. Doing what you say is way harder than you think. Mostly because you have to control not only your own children, but your children's friends as well.

Just to make you aware, the actual author of this in git does not say the same thing. While he wishes he had chosen better names ( https://twitter.com/xpasky/status/1271477451756056577 ), he did not mean master in t

The problem here is that the implication that all uses of the word "master" are equivalent to the combination "master/slave". So tomorrow you will not be able to make your bed in your "master" bedroom. And

This link shows the problem of using master/slave. I think everyone in this thread is ok with moving away from using those terms. The problem is that the usage of master in terms of git, and github in particular, has nothing to do with

I agree that bitkeeper should change from master/slave if they so desire. I'm not aware of anyone using master/slave in terms of git or any other mainstream vcs. And github's specific use of master does not use slave. By

Going simply by the conntation of the term, master doesn't imply some kind of ownership or control over anyone. In the source control world, the branches are more in control of development than master. But if we want to talk about word

by logicalmind 6y ago
But a branch from master is not a slave by any definition. Whereas a branch is a copy of a master. To be clear, I'm not against them changing this. But it just seems odd to base it on the implication that they meant it as master/s

by logicalmind 6y ago
This is mentioned elsewhere, but the connotation of master in the context of source control seems to be more along the lines of master used in terms of artifact creation. For example, where you have a master copy of a film or album. This is
