I suppose it boils down to what is implied by your meaningfully. Will guess gross morphology and adaptation to ecological niche.

In a sense one could argue sharks are more highly evolved because they out competed (or were luckier than) our ancestors and were not forced to change.
Humans gross physical differences from the common ancestor are clearly more recent and therefore less refined.

What cannot be said is: that in the interim we (sharks/humans) have not evolved every bit as much as one another. Evolution is not anthrocentric.
> [Scalability i]s an aspect. It's often the beginning of a micro-service migration story in talks I've heard.

It absolutely helps with people and org scalability. I haven't seen it help with technical load scalability (assuming you were already doing monolithic development relatively "right"; we ran a >$1BB company for the overwhelming majority on a single SQL server).
Hmmm this is a human problem at the end of the day. You don't get the wrong mail because of USPS policy.

When the mailperson that delivers your mail currently gets fired by USPS and gets hired by Amazon - do you think much will change in that regard??

I know not everybody has the same needs, but at least for me, systemd did not solve any problem I had. In fact, I found that it's main selling point, "better" service management, got much worse.

Before, I could simply do "sudo service xxx start". Now, with systemctl, everything is much more cumbersome. Just run "systemctl list-units". Ho boy, you get a huge list of... things. Not just what used to be called services or daemons, but units belonging to mount points, /dev entries, and who knows what.

Granted, it is probably easier to create service scripts for developers than with init.rc or upstart (although I never had a problem the few times I had to muck with them). But as a simple consumer, I do not feel systemd solves any problem I had. It just made things some things that worked fine before slightly more confusing, and there are some regressions every now and then while other programs are getting ported to systemd.

I tried the standard advice (Canada Food Pyramid + exercise). I felt miserable (tired, irritable, hungry) and couldn't sleep well.

Keto has been the exact opposite. I feel great all the time. I sleep better. I no longer get daily nosebleeds. For the first 6+ months, I didn't exercise at all.
I've spent some time thinking about this and while it's hard to reach a conclusive answer as a generic one I would say a second tier city in western Europe. You still get a fairly functional state, internationalism and good quality of life without having to pay first tier city prices for housing and consumables. Which city is much harder to answer of course, suggestions are welcome.

> people have lived in all parts of the world, with vastly varying diets

Yes, though all of them ate animal products and highly valued various animal fats.

That being said, we can find evidence of people eating all-meat diets in every corner of the globe, and often times if there were more agricultural people nearby, the carnivores were healthier and stronger (such as the Masai vs. the Kikuyu, the Sami vs. southern agricultural Swedes, etc.). Just because people were healthy eating one type of food does not mean they could have been even healthier eating another food if they had access to it.

Yeah, last week USPS delivered $1800 of SSDs to my house. Great. Except they flagged it as "delivered, on front porch", two days prior, leading to much consternation, shoulder shrugging and the like while I attempted to find them.

>"Internationalization" is 20 letters long, but it will be cracked in seconds by even a moderately sophisticated attacker. (zxcvbn gives it guesses_log10 of 4.34708)

Literally nothing to do with the article and an absurd choice for a password to make your (misguided) point. Length does trump complexity, however once again I'll repeat, the article doesn't say complexity doesn't matter. It does. It says it does.

Sorry my man, I think you missed the point of the article entirely. I also think your knowledge about how passwords are cracked in the wild is off base. Your theoretical thought experiment here isn't how it's done. Also the Dropbox password calculator you provided proves it. Every single character added to a decent password adds guesses_log10 assuming moderate complexity.
There are policy changes around labelling, IT, or whatever that I'm sure could reduce the error rate for this. Amazon has a direct incentive to, at least for Amazon packages, solve these problems. UPS has an incentive to ignore complaints.
From the Ecosystem page: "So, instead, Roughtime is only available for products that can be updated. The server lists have an explicit expiry time in them and we will actively seek to break clients that try to use old information in order to maintain ecosystem health. At the moment changing the hostname or port of a server is the easiest way to enforce this but we expect to add a per-server id in the future that clients would need to send in order to prove to the server that they have a current server list."

I see a slight chicken and egg problem here. This service is mostly needed to provide initial time synchronization to devices that have just powered on and don't know what time it is - but of course, since they don't know the time they have no way of checking the freshness of the server list. Which in practice means that a lot of devices will end up having to download a new server list every time they need to synchronize their time. That's a lot of load on the server providing the list, which effectively becomes a critical part of the Roughtime system that's hardcoded into the clients.
Well, they do carry the motto "move fast and break things". I suppose that's the price of admission for playing with FB.

> Breaking this would basically break compatibility with every existing userland

By "Breaking this" you mean "fixing the fact that pid 1 can't crash and restart"?

> Because of this, it is better to fail hard

It can't be fixed because it would "break compatibility" where that "compatibility" is that the machine should panic?

You're not really making a good case for why this can't be changed.

Why not

* pid 1 exits
* kernel re-executes init as a new pid 1
* userspace continues on as if nothing happened.
I will not be surprised. Switz is also easily among the top 10 most economically free countries in the world. Economic freedom, competitiveness and foreign direct investments are so well correlated with economic freedom.

Australia's ranking seems extremely puzzling though. The general perception is that it is very very competitive economy.
Portland, Oregon. Dense, VERY walkable/bikeable, substantial amount of tech jobs, and more affordable than other major US metros with comparable amenities.
Mailman and software developer here. Of course all these problems can be fixed with a simple db that tells the delivery agent upon scanning any customer specifics like no safe dropping, go to rear door, ect. Weird individual access problems like gates or hidden doors could also be entered by agents to keep an up to date personalized delivery schedule. Right now the process is a bunch of cards that get lost and are outdated and take a lot of time to check for every delivery.

Agents should be able to see a complete overview of delivery that day, in order of route, and consistent metrics taken to better the service over time. Staffing could get weekly info of inbound parcels for each route and determine staff levels needed as compared to now which is just fly by seat of your pants. Of course CanPost who I work for don't do any of this, don't talk to any employees and make all these decisions far away from the people who have to implement them. The routes they design are ridiculous and nobody follows the official version. It seems trivial to solve since it's just a plaintext database and updates, plus talking to the agents to average time values and build efficient routes but for whatever reasons they don't even try. The DbaaS startup I work for remotely is constantly asking me ways they can improve, nobody at CPC has ever done so.

I was surprised when Amazon delivery appeared on the streets and they were run just as poorly as us, assumed they would 'disrupt' delivery instead of carbon copying an already bad service with UPS/Post/DHL ect.

Without proof, it makes sense from their perspective. Theoretically, they should be working to improve their delivery service. By having your preference expire, it should at least let you try what they believe the "best" option to be after a few months. If it still sucks you can complain again. Seems annoying as a customer, but I can get why they'd do it.
The only writings I make public are short essays I write during the day about victories and frustrations at work. When I am following the "morning pages" habit, I am usually extremely short on focus.

I am extremely pleased with how journaling improves my communication — when I find myself quoting that morning's pages, I get feedback on how decent my predictions were.

I feel more prepared, having hypothesized these circumstances in the morning, the afternoon offers fewer surprises (and novelty still fits nicely in contrast).
Sounds like Lasership in the USA. Non-uniformed people driving the most beat-up, random private vehicles possible, with a "LS" decal slapped on the side. Seems Amazon doesn't want to pay for decent people. They don't even bother to ring the bell when leaving a package on the porch.

That said, I'm not sure they are worse than USPS and UPS, both of whom have left packages outside in the rain in the middle of the driveway without ringing the bell.

Interesting. I haven't really checked out Reaper. I have some friends who are at the Garageband level of computer music production. They have struggled with QTractor. Maybe I'll suggest Reaper, since it's only $60.

The cost of Reaper, an i5 thinkpad with KXStudio, 8 gigs of ram and terabyte hard drive is like $200. You could make a top quality album with that setup, no problem.

Same in the UK.

Only Amazon is reliably delivering(1) to my address. I have received parcel for somebody else, at a different flat number of a different building ( building have names here ) at a different street name and number, and different postcode ( postcode contains generally very few buildings, mine for example only contain my tiny block of 11 flats ).

I have 3 parcels that were lost in the last month. And I live in London, on a High Street, in a building that has existed since the 70's and is found precisely in literally every mapping application.

I can see why people paint Amazon as the evil empire bound on destroying everything it touches and I actually agree with it. But it is hard to ignore how incredibly reliable they are compared to basically everything else. I buy from Amazon even if they are more expensive, and often I don't buy stuff when they are not available there. The "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon." is worth paying for.

(1) Within the parcel shipping companies. I must say that Royal Mail is doing great at my address.
It was bizarre to me, too. I thought most of what you mentioned was just testing his commitment. Solid commitment should mean something decent looking would come out of those efforts. The email and 4 days are probably just their instincts in action with some deliberation on latter after doing this kind of thing regularly for a long time.

I'm curious how long it takes on average for most VC's to go from good interview to acceptance.

Amen to that.
The messier part of the old sysinit V was dependency handling, LSB headers are just an horrible hack and do a very poor job at it.

However, imho, shell scripts are great for that kind of work. Services come in all sort of shapes, some are proper daemons (fork, cd /, close([stdin, stdout, stderr]) and the rest), some are a little worse to say the least. And more often than not, the later is your super business critical important app built in house by incompetent developers.

The point being that services comes in all forms and shapes, and having a scripting language for integrating them and, if needed, compensating for crappy software is extremely useful.

Another aspect is that programs contain bugs, and the more complex a program is, the more bugs it contains. Keeping PID 1 as simple as possible should be a goal, nobody needs an http server inside its init system (or a dhcp client, or a dns resolver or...).

For some years now, the Gentoo Project has OpenRC/runscript (specialized shell for init scripts). It works really really well and it's quite simple to write an init script in it. It's a bit sad that it wasn't more considered in other distributions.

You might have misunderstood me. My point is experience is a great asset to any developer, young or old.

> And in my experience there aren't very many great old people that are current with technology, that can code quickly, etc.

That might mean that the great old people are either not great at these things despite their efforts (which I believe is your opinion), OR it could mean the old people optimize for the things you did not list, and don't place too a lot of value on "coding quickly", for example.

> And in my experience there aren't very many great old people that are current with technology

There older I get, the more I realize there is more to life than work. I mean, I love technology, web development particularly (because the web is awesome for humanity), I really do enjoy it. However, I can make better, more fulfilling use of (some of) my weekends and evenings than staring at my laptop, rewriting an app in LatestHypeJS. Is there any other industry that requires much running just to stay in one place?

Bear in mind the "younger faster models" won't stay young forever.
These are the kinda of features that may make I go back to Firefox. This Min Vid actually looks like a great idea.
Check Bitwig or Reaper (recommended by some people in a different comment) if you want something more stable. And yeah, KXStudio has great tools for configuring and managing Jack with Pulseaudio. You can install it on top of Ubuntu via it's deb repository.

Lately I've been using Arch. Arch's audio packages are also very well configured. There's even a Bitwig package in the AUR. That's how I installed Bitwig :) It's the best of both worlds.

That's a feature that UPS My Choice and FedEx Delivery manager have had for a long time. UPS even lets me permanently divert all deliveries to my address to a nearby UPS store.
The worst part is this is implied by Olaf himself where he points out that he just lucked out on that problem in a way he doesn't expect to repeat. He accidentally passed the contrived problem unrelated to the job. They were just a hair from eliminating the good candidate in the interview.

Let's say you have a thousand machines sitting around, doing whatever, and suddenly you notice one of them acting strangely. Maybe it's just a little slower than the others, maybe it's crashing, maybe your monitoring system can't pick it up, maybe it's even producing incorrect outputs. How do you tell if it's:

A) A hardware issue (thus requiring hardware maintenance)

B) A software issue triggered by the particular workload of this machine (thus requiring a software change)

C) A network issue (thus requiring network maintenance, possibly phone calls to ISPs, etc)

D) Something else (thus requiring who knows what)

The most normal way in the real world is, have a sysadmin and a dev sit down together, SSH into the machine, and poke things until they arrive at the root of the problem (possibly with additional process involved if it's a really big system).

Then, through normal (non SSH) processes, perform the required maintenance and update your monitoring system so that it identifies problems of that class.

I don't think they need it every time. With proper error codes it can look like this:

while below retry limit:

retry

Once you get an accepted list, you can either just wait for another error, or refresh only every few days.
