You usually run into issues if you are trying to use off the shelf tools and git providers. IMO GitHub and GitHub actions sucks hard for monorepo. The fact that all actions have to be stored in a single directory for example almost certainly is unmanageable rats nest waiting to happen at any sufficiently large business with a sufficiently complex product or set of products.

This is why companies like google run their own forms of git with custom wrappers to let you do things like pull a segment of the terabyte sized repo or run partial builds with tooling that basically runs some kind of graph against the changes. Bazel for example had to be invented to help solve that problem at Google and pants similarly for twitter (who also has a monorepo)

If you are willing to invest in using tools like bazel and own building all these complex wrappers then it can be fine. But if you want to off the shelf gitlab or GitHub actions and use your IDEs built in git tooling it’s not going to be for you. That’s the difference between what’s possible or a good idea at a medium shop vs a company with 40k engineers

In my experience at a company that just moved away from monorepo, half the off the shelf vendors and foss tools out there balk at you if you expect monorepo support. We moved away specifically because at our current company size it is more tolerable to have our different products separate and eat the occasional pain of mass pattern adjustments across the repos than to build out a team to manage the custom tooling required for a gig plus sized monorepo

Plus, even google doesn’t have a true monorepo. Chrome and Android are not in the same repo as search for example. Find your seams and manage them appropriately

Please expand on what you mean.

For context, I live in greater Boston. The state here has actually forced towns and cities in the inner belt around Boston to remove their zoning laws anywhere within a mile of a train or subway stop. Thousands of additional condos and apartments have been (and are being) built as a side effect and we will have dozens of new squares with shops and businesses on the ground floor and tens of thousands of new residences surrounding our transit hubs.

It’s not been smooth. Some towns are suing the state and doing other random bullshit to slow the process. Pushing these rules to the federal level would actually help states and metro areas consisting of multiple connected cities address the issues more efficiently.

Eliminate zoning and force cities to build up. Nobody wants a house in the middle of nowhere

unique screens have unique canvas fingerprinting.

Exactly what I just said? Don’t use unique screens and you are less identifiable. The most anonymous browser is a freshly wiped two year old Apple device running safari or chrome from a university campus or coffee shop. A million other laptops have the same base canvas fingerprint.

Fewer people use Linux. Fewer people use specialized browsers. Fewer people have external displays. All those things make you easier to fingerprint than a vanilla machine.

Is it possible you misread what I typed?

The least unique setup is not to keep doing more special shit. You underestimate how many people run a vanilla safari or chrome browser on a MacBook with no external displays.

Linux, external monitor, special browser? That all makes you more unique

Because when you name a place with the express intent to warn people not to go there, creativity almost certainly will introduce confusion

We added solar to our house and it cancels out the cost of AC completely with our modern heat pump. And the state and federal government both gave us massive tax breaks and zero interest loans to install the panels and the heat pumps. Our loan payment total is smaller than our old electric bill

We also have buses. Believe it or not they drive on the same roads that are backed up because of the tunnels being closed. Weird how that works.

We have it but the trains are catching on fire and derailing and they shut the orange line down for a month to try to fix it. Meanwhile one of our main tunnels is also collapsing so that’s shut down too. My home is one mile from downtown and it’s also directly on a bike path that goes into the city, which is also closed because it’s also collapsing into the mystic river. It currently takes me 40 minutes to get downtown no matter what transit I take including walking.

Bit shifting is not malicious on its own. Bit shifting to specifically conceal the purpose of your policy violating code from the auditors who audit the apps submitted to the App Store is malicious.

It’s about why you are doing it and what you are doing with it and not that it’s bit shifting on it’s own.

Wait until that first surprise medical event. In that bracket. Employed full time w/health “insurance”. Eating instant ramen and had to get roommates. Lifestyle medication woo

They can’t make you pay medical debt. But the pharmacy doesn’t refill your meds without payment up front. And you make too much for financial assistance and the fact your employer provides insurance actually eliminates counter discounts (uninsured discounts) and other benefits.

Plus people on the internet will accuse you of being bad at money because “nobody making over $100k is poor”

Given the issues with minimum wage, what makes you think UBI won’t have the same issues regarding inflation and governments not raising the minimums? UBI experiments have always been in small communities and never large enough to show if inflation would simply catch up with it. What stops landlords from just unilaterally raising rents to suck up the UBI payments for example?

Real reform would be housing credits, expansion of food aid and centralization of medical care

This. We tried to ban windows and literally the ELT blocked it because they personally didn’t want to learn MacOS despite the entire engineering, product, and medical team being on it. We now keep having to pay more for audits and for security solutions for the 15 people refusing to get off windows in mostly the finance part of the company

I had a landlord make me pay them in zelle. Bank limits meant I had to pay them over 3 days every month. What a mess

One could argue the requirements have changed because the security and compliance part of the world finally caught up to modern software delivery concepts. Even the most dinosaur apps at compliant orgs are being dragged kicking and screaming into new CI/CD tools where applying governance and custody chains and permissions and approvals are all self documented automated hooks.

For me it’s that arbitrarily not pairing them gives a higher end experience than pairing them. You can play music over multiple by just selecting them all when you air play. The only difference is the lack to stereo, which if you have them all over your house you wouldn’t want anyway.

Meanwhile if you do pair them, then it’s stereo only. So if they are placed around the room, then arbitrarily you can’t hear some notes or vocals out of both speakers. Plus if you use Siri, for some reason only the left speaker speaks. We have an open concept kitchen and had one speaker in the counter and one in the living room on the tv stand and it was just overwhelmingly stupid to have only the speaker in the kitchen speak back.

It’s also stupid I can’t buy a single big home pod and pair it with 2-4 minis to make a 7.1 surround. Or even just pair more than 2 minis.

It’s a bell curve. Believe me, after spending my entire work day doing Linux shit as a SRE/Devop/cloud engineer over the last 12 years of my career, the absolute last fucking thing I want to do when I stop working is fiddle with one more goddamn Linux issue before launching a game. True elites don’t give a fuck and just want to play the damn game. You can spot a poser the second they take it too seriously and bitch you out for running vanilla mint or whatever

Bicycles and motorcycles and mopeds are fine

Another way to look at that is ~810 people having an issue with a different 810 people every single day assuming only one scan per day. That’s 891,000 people having a huge fucking problem at least once every single year.

I have this problem with my face in the TSA pre and passport system and every time I fly it gets worse because their confidence it is correct keeps going up and their trust in my actual fucking ID keeps going down

unless you used liquid cooling and pumped the water underground or something.

That’s literally what I said. That’s what geo cooling with a heat pump is. It’s how the heat pump in my house is configured. No fan tower, just liquid pumped about 40 feet underground. It was installed very cheaply since the coolant lines are run using only a quarter inch tube so the drilling is very simple and cost effective. The pump uses almost no energy at all.
