I don’t think global temperatures get another record because El Niño is over. Your „weather“ suggests a more local reference though?

The manual lists the reasons why using it over make: https://just.systems/man/en/ The question is if those reasons are convincing to someone. The big advantage of Make is that it is probably already installed.

It seems perfectly obvious to me that it came from Zoonosis: https://marketwise.substack.com/p/did-covid-19-come-from-a-l... It matters because it affects who we prepare for the next pandemics. Should we tighten regula

The terms "outcome game" and "consensus game" feel useful for discussing meeting behavior.

I think the trick is to store the movement not the balances. You may cache the balance, but what matters is the journal of money moving from one account to another.

Accidentally, I read about the Romans recently. They had the Cohortes Vigiles, which was mostly a night time fire watch but it included night watch duties. Daytime was the responsibility of the Praetorian Guard. They were more kind of a par

Isn't it a reasonable reaction, whenever you see a new (to you) product, to ask how it compares to others?

The next step could be to annotate statements with a confidence (1-99%). Currently I see no way to weigh the arguments against each other.

Is there any feature in Krita, Darktable, Scribus, or Blender, which Adobe products do not have? It certainly is the case the other way round.

They use a fork of a browser engine and there is no money in building a browser engine. The money is in building a browser around the engine because there you can inject tracking and try to make your product unique.

I disagree. OSS is only ahead if there is no money in it, like new programming languages. Whenever it is profitable, OSS projects just cannot compete with professionals working full time. OSS is usually reinventing the wheel free from comme

So it really might be „the most sophisticated“ one. Unfortunately, for security we rather need simplicity than sophistication. There should be „obviously no errors“ instead of „no obvious errors“ to quote Hoare.

It looks quite limited in what kind of diagrams it produces. What about a class diagram, a state machine, timing behavior, etc?

Yes, that is good point. It might be reason why it fails in practice. Whatever view one produces from a single model, it will look crappy and cheap compared to the Powerpoint slide of someone else. It might be more truthful and more up to d

I believe the answer is to have a single model of everything. You can build the model from whatever: Draw it with a GUI, query your server infrastructure, analyze binaries, collect it from databases, parse it from documentation, process you

Scriptisto is an underrated tool: https://github.com/igor-petruk/scriptisto It can do the Python venv stuff behind the scenes for you and it just looks like a single Python file.

Germany publicly announced they will vote No. I don’t know about others. Maybe it just became clear that it wouldn’t pass? It was a sneaky try anyways, right after the election.

Some states of Germany are currently introducing it. I don’t see any land owners revolting about long term implications. Many bitch about the transition because reevaluating land is some paper work. Everybody seems to believe that it will n

Any plans to assimilate the build system as well? Grace seems to handle large files and can deploy stuff to developers and servers. Why have a separate system for deploying build artifacts to developers and servers then? By integrating with

First, specify more clearly what you mean by "productivity" to avoid misunderstandings: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3454122.3454124 It can be about satisfaction & well being, performance, activity
