> The big pitch is that you're paying a bit more in order to phase out your IT team.

Really? I have to say I don't understand it. I remember the "NoOps" movement from a few years ago and I just find the whole concept around it to be almost hilarious; kind of like Salesforce's old "No Software" logo (which is nowhere to be found in their newer marketing).

As I see it, as long as your organization has people using IT in any capacity at all, you will need someone in charge of IT Operations. Whatever you may want to call it: DevOps, or SRE, or PE, or even if you just decide it's something that each of your regular devs is going to be doing, it's a function that needs to be done.

Someone needs to be able to set up the systems, monitor them, scale them, secure them, and troubleshoot issues. It doesn't matter how well-engineered and maintained and automated the components you rely on are, they will break in various compound fractures and you will need to deal with the downtime and potential corruption to your composite system.

I'll eat my hat if you can point me towards a single non-trivial software service that has been running continuously without any "IT".

CVE-2018-5383 #Bluetooth flaw allows attackers to monitor and manipulate traffic
That may seem like a set of curious but inconsequential similarities, but these authors argue that how we think of the Lorax determines how we think about his plight. Regarding the Lorax as an animal indigenous to the land of the Truffula trees “challenges traditional interpretations of the Lorax as an ecopoliceman asserting his authority.” In other words, the Lorax isn’t some tiresome scold, some shrill environmentalist who makes us want to throw up our hands and sigh, “Good-by, Thing. You sing too long.” No, the Lorax is a creature intimately dependent on the land that the Once-ler is destroying. That, the authors suggest, makes his story much more sympathetic.

I've never heard of such an un-sympathetic interpretation of The Lorax before. It seems odd to me, considering the overt moral of the story.

Yes I too trust the clearly defined category of "employers", with their uniform set of values and practices with regard to employee health and safety.

Why on earth would a person trust somebody who was elected by a community for the job of helping its citizens over a corporation that has to generate value for shareholders?
> Knative is PaaS--

Except it bills itself as serverless. In a PaaS your apps need to have a server (e.g., http server). Serverless (e.g., FaaS or Brigade) elsewhere doesn't need this. Stuff isn't long running.

How is long running software servers like this serverless?

> My personal view is that Build (and before long Pipelines) will be the main entryway to Knative.

Pipelines? That doesn't appear to be in the docs. What is Pipelines?
Well, the sharp end of economic research may or may not be far beyond 70s Chigago, but there are lots of economic opinions flying around in the policy mainstream discussion that just about pass the 101 of 70s Chigago economics class. And those opinions definitely deserve all railing against them that is available. Soviet union did quite effectively kill communism as any kind of credible ideology, someone should somehow do the same for the chigago-libertarian ideology. Hopefully with less misery inflicted on people.

Same for the other repos, like build and eventing.

This is their container builder project re-branded.

Pretty nice product, but missing some LAUGHABLE features.

Specifically:

- Ability to start builds based on github pull requests

- Ability to send messages to slack on successful / failed builds

- Ability to update github PRs with build status

- Conditional build steps AT ALL

- Ability to start parameterized builds from GUI ( What if I want to deploy to a specific environment? )

- Any outside integrations AT. ALL.

- No story on how to store secrets

I've been running this product for about a year. I have a Jenkins job that detects github PRs, and then launches these builds. I would LOVE to delete that Jenkins VM, but for some reason a lot of basic functionality has been ignored.

edit:

People have informed me that Github PR building is in alpha! PRAISED BE THE GOOGLE!

I can attest that persistent storage is the hard part! Full disclosure, I work for a company[1] who makes a persistent storage solution for containers/Kubernetes. We are absolutely seeing that our large customers (folks like GE, Verizon, Dreamworks, Comcast, etc) are running "cloud native" applications on-prem as well as in the public cloud so this is a really smart move for Google.

I understand this, my company is currently dealing with a similar situation. We have a small vendor that hosts things, but I am pushing to drop them for Azure because it offers so many more features and tools that the vendor just can't match. It's kind of an acquisition thing, we acquired a company that deals with this vendor, we were already using Azure. It's much harder to go off the cloud than to go on it, imo. You just lose so many great features when you move off of it. It's sad, but at the same time it's becoming impossible for smaller people to compete in a cloud world. I don't think that's going to change. My biggest fear is that once all the small players are killed off Google, Microsoft and AWS will agree in some back room to not compete on price to protect their margins. I have a feeling that something like that is merely a decade away, if not less.
The only way you could do that is on a hosted platform where they do maintenance for you. There's no way a server would last online for decades without being patched, it would have been hosed countless times over by now.

Installing certs is just as regular as installing patches, do it every 6 months if you like, but certainly not every 10+ years!!
Apple always claims their issues affect a small number of units. I have seen zero people that tested the i9 MBP and did not see major throttling. The issue is clearly the result of a fundamental defect in how they were managing power and thermals.

What do you use on Linux?
This is _so_ true. I have a unique career, no CS education, built a startup to scratch my itch, had no teammates on my codebase, worked on it for 5 years, sold it, now I've been at (insert FANG) for 2 years.

On my own, I would look at code I wrote 6 months ago, wonder what idiot wrote that, then figure out if it was actually bad, or I just didn't understand it.

With staff turnover and a lack of incentive for engineers to prioritize shipping (thats the manager and PM's problem), there's a heavy bias to "It's bad, rewrite it" rather than "Oh, it gets the job done, I just didn't understand it, let me research and comment the code". _Tons_ of time is wasted.

Evaluating Accelerator Programs and Offers
I've experienced some early adopter pains with the desktop version of this CPU (x299 platform) when it came out and I used linux kernel mailing list to search for answers. I was surprised how easy it was to read the code of the related kernel modules and interact with their authors (Intel engineers).

These "magic codes" are probably just #define macros somewhere in the kernel repo, in my case it was in [1]

Insecure web still too prevalent: Boffins unveil HSTS wall of shame
Yes, in this case it is not the exact same codebase. There are actually a number of ARM backends in OpenJDK. If i recall there is an A ARMv5/6 one from the community and Oracle open sourced one for the same or for v7. And then the modern AArch64 one.
Since this runs on vSphere presumably it will cost far far more than public GKE.
A fatal error that prevents deployment is a lot more surprising than a warning.
Yeah it makes it seem a bit implausible or at least should be cause for just a teeny weeny second of consideration. If I were hacking into a bank I'd consider myself pretty smart if I thought to pin it on the most boringly believable (by most Americans, stewed as they are in a soup of anti-Russia talk) hacking culprit.
I'd write an enormous list here, but it's probably easier and more educational for you to go to archive.org and look at the software ads in pretty much any issue of Byte magazine before 1990.

A few things that I take issue with here:

1) Louis Rossman has a vested interest in drumming up attention for his videos and has, on multiple occasions, used false statements and misleading practices to do so. Just like in the initial release video of the Touch Bar MBPs where he used an unshielded USB-A to USB-C cable and then complained that WiFi wasn't working. When used with a shielded cable, the issue went away and yet he never issued a correction or retraction. The issue was with the adapter he used, not the computer. Which leads directly to...

2) The issue stated in that video that required reballing was an issue with nVidia chips and affected all laptops that used that platform, both PC and Mac. To suggest that it was an engineering issue on Apple's part is disingenuous and only further reinforces the idea that he's not making these videos to be helpful but to drive traffic to his channel and repairs to his store.

3) Just look at how he used the Linus story to get the repair done at his shop. He has a pattern and, unlike what most people think, it's not altruistic. It's all to benefit him. I don't blame him but let's not pretend that he's doing this because he cares about users or the "right to repair" movement. He cares because he can mislabel and misconstrue the positions of the people against it to benefit his business. He'd love it if Apple was forced to provide him schematics and docs. He's in it for himself.
The new default limits for each endpoint are outlined below and will apply in addition to existing user-level rate limits for these actions. By default, an app (across all of its users) will be limited to:
- Tweets & Retweets (combined): 300 per 3 hours
- Likes: 1000 per 24 hours
- Follows: 1000 per 24 hours
- Direct Messages: 15,000 per 24 hours

They write that they can lift this requirements for certain apps. But any new 3rd party twitter client is pretty much toast.
Aren't the 45 views bound by the physical lenticular screen?
If you'd hire someone based solely on their clothing (the only data point we have here), then you should review your decision making processes.
I think it's a little more complex than that. In addition to rasterizing a large number of pixels, the entire vertex pipeline has to run 45 times to generate 45 projections of the scene's geometry. You're correct though in that the rest of what happens in a frame (physics, animations & other state updates) do not have to run 45x.
They do - this expands those regulations (which have exceptions for discharge of treated sewage) into a full-blown "no discharge zone" (NDZ), where even treated effluent can't be dumped.

As I understand it, the federal regulations reference distance from land - and the Puget Sound is really more of a sea than an open coastline. The previous regulation was something like being 3 miles away from land to dump untreated sewage.

Technical debt should be paid one commit at a time.

You cannot pay it at once. Just make many small continuous improvements.
Do you have ”Designing Cards and Drivers for the Macintiosh”? (https://www.macintoshrepository.org/1235-designing-cards-and...)

It is hardware oriented, but explains how declaration ROMs work. The 3rd edition knows about the SE/30.
Not a CTO and I've never come close to having a conversation with one. As a developer, though, I've been burned by tech debt too many times to feel comfortable with it.

The biggest problem with technical debt is that everyone has a different tolerance for it. Some even have an appetite for it. This is a breeding ground for conflict.

The next biggest problem is that the people who take it on are rarely the same people who end up paying it off. The former tend to get showered with kudos whilst the latter experience stress and poor performance reviews.

IMO the worst kind of technical debt is that which is taken on to route around a business process ("Governance"). So it, sort of, contributes to faster delivery but the conditions which drive the choice tend to persist until a regime change so the compromise sticks around forever.

In an ideal world, you should only agree to take on technical debt if you are also presented with a repayment plan. And that leads to my final problem with technical debt: most people tend to assume that that last part will take care of itself.

I recently had to spin up an instance of an app I work on aws, and having never really used aws outside some light s3 usage, lightsail is a god send. At work, everything we have is hosted on our own (on prem ) servers, that are either fire walled off or restricted to company login, hence why I had to spin something up on aws for demos or whatever they want to do with it. And, for my personal/hobby stuff, I just have a swarm cluster setup on DO. And as soon as I went to create an EC2 instance (I think that’s what I was looking for), I realized I had no idea what was going on. Since this was a quick little thing that was going to get almost no real usage, I didn’t want to spend several hours figuring the options and what kind of instance I needed. I just wanted to go back to good ol’ DO where I could have a new droplet spun up in like three clicks.

And then I found lightsail, when I was clicking through the million different services, and I was like holy shit, this is familiar, and in like three clicks later, I had a server running! Obviously, it doesn’t have all the features DO offers (because I imagine those can be done with other AWS services), but I didn’t need them/use them (aside from DO’s DNS). Really, my only gripe I’ve had with it so far is the OS offerings. All my servers (personal & work) are CentOS, so I was slightly annoyed when I found out I could get a CentOS server on lightsail, so I just settled with Ubuntu because that’s fine and I’m familiar enough with it.

So, if you need something hosted on AWS for whatever reason, and are not familiar with it at all, but are with something like DO/Linode, lightsail is something to look into. I think the pricing was fairly comparable to DO, maybe a little more expensive, but I’m not paying for it so I didn’t really look.

Word on the street is we’re gonna start moving a lot of our infra to AWS at work though, so I guess I should probably at least figure out how the hell EC2 works...

> As someone considering starting a family, I have literally no idea what parenting is anymore.

I started a family almost 15 years ago, and I'm still wondering myself. On the one hand, I can see firsthand how competitive the world is - much more competitive than it was when I was growing up - and I figure the least I can do is prepare my kids for the tidal wave of adulthood that's going to crash into them in another ten years or so. I'm encouraging them to participate in (and supporting them in, even though it's starting to break the bank) as much extracurricular stuff as possible, so their college applications look good, but on the other hand, I worry about stressing them out so hard that they don't feel like they ever had time to enjoy being children. As a parent, I feel like I'm walking a fine line between preparing them for the world and protecting them from it.
Happy to see some great books recommended there. Specifically, let me call out:

The Three Body problem.
The Lathe of Heaven.

And while I haven't read Parable of the Sower yet, everything I've read of Octavia Butler has ranged from really good to some of my favorite books ever, so I'm sure it's a good one.

One anti-recommendation (kind of): I recently read Finite and Infinite Games, after many (many) recommendations for it, and didn't particularly like it. Obviously I'm in the minority on this, but I really wonder what other people saw in it.

This was from the “Big Ear” radiotelescope at Ohio State, run by John Kraus, author of the textbook “Electromagnetics” and a ham radio operator W8JK. It was one of the textbooks in my EE curriculum. Several years after i graduated, I found myself in Ann Arbor and stumbled in to the University of Michigan Amateur Radio Club. Some of the members were top-notch contesters. One of the contests that was run when I was there was the 160 meter contest. W8UM had always placed pretty well, but the Ohio State club kinda beat everyone. They used the football-sized reflective base of the Big Ear with a balloon (actually a kitoon) to hold up the vertical. Huge signal.

Turns out that in order to let the club use that structure, JK used them to do a bunch of cleanup around this massive structure.

The year that I was part of the UM team, we got permission to use an old AM radio tower in disuse and did pretty well ourselves. Much fun.
Lets talk about the science then. Has it been published? Has it been reproduced? That second step is the bane of many psychology studies, in that the results cannot be reproduced, assuming someone tries at all. That is a signature step in the scientific process that is often not followed. We see a study and then blindly follow it as fact.
