The focus of AmigaOS 3.1.4 development work was on fixing bugs, integrating code which so far had been separate (e.g. the mass storage drivers last updated in AmigaOS 3.9) and generally making it easier for Amiga hardware developers to make use of the operating system (e.g. adapt the operating system rather than force the developers to twist their designs).

The AmigaOS 3.9 NDK ("native development kit") is still relevant for the AmigaOS 3.1.4 update.

The 3.1.4 update added new API functionality, but these changes are few and could (= will) be covered separately.

Don't stress about not being good enough when you see other people's work. People show off their end result and not the hundreds of broken iterations it took to get there. You can build exactly the same stuff with a bit of effort, learning and time.
It might take 10's or 100's of years for the culture shift to happen (in a similar way to political opinions changing).

Peopleware [1] came out in 1987 for example, so in theory we should have learnt something in 30 years.

Software is also kind of a victim of it's own success. Once a software company has some traction, if lucky, it can be run badly and still be very profitable. The owners may have some hubris as to their business prowess and they know how things should be done. They may not be willing to change and question themselves, and want to change the culture. They'll probably not take time to take in all of that exit interview feedback, and analyse it and improve from it.

I think a lot of companies are run on intuition and not evidence based or well thought out ideas. That is why managers think a noisy office is better, I've worked in offices with the obligatory "why's it so quiet in here, don't you guys ever talk" joke from senior management on many occasion. Belittling of developers and putting them in their place as the 'misfits' of the organization. And as time as gone on time tracking has gone from reasonable to insane. "Why did you spend X hours on this JIRA ticket". JIRA has given management the data to take mismanagement to the next level.

To change this mindset requires these people to retire or go out of business, and for fresh blood who have learned these lessons to take over. That's going to take about another 30 years and hopefully the next generation will do better.

What this article is clearly missing is that "hobbies" is a very modern concept. Humans never evolved to engage in semi-serious idle pursuits. We have evolved to compete and seek progress.

What's happening is that the definition of competition and progress has been massively reconfigured due to social media. But even in pre-Industrial days, people worked hard to be better off, to accumulate wealth, to increase their social status. In fact, industrialization is a result of that ingrained work ethic.

Asking people to be OK with mediocrity is like asking warring nations not to go to war. It's a well-intentioned but ultimately stupid advice because it doesn't work. What could work however is reconfiguring social media and environment: the less an individual gets exposed to competence, the more s/he'll be able to enjoy whatever s/he is enjoying.
Well people don't usually like or want to work for little dictators which fire people on a whim for minor things.

So your employees (assuming you have any and this is not some hypothetical scenario) won't straight out say those things, they will just quietly do them :)

In my opinion, operations are always a behemoth of complexity.

Kubernetes allows me to express myself concisely and effectively on the level of complexity I will eventually always encounter in the job, without the particularities of certain tools or manual execution of certain tasks, so for me the complexity is less with Kubernetes.

I don’t mean this snarky at all, but I’m stunned by the fact that you think a distributed container orchestration platform (which Kubernetes is) is needed to do CI/CD, even when self hosted. It shows I guess how hazy these topics still are. Have a look at Jenkins or Gitlab or Bamboo or any of the other dozen of well known CI server out there. They will pull, test and build your code. Then look at something like dokku or Capistrano or even Ansible to take care of putting builds on servers. With a little bash scripting you have a full pipeline. No Kubernetes needed at all.
I would argue that an "enterprise" is slow because, as an entity that needs to protected it's structure, it "wants" to be slow.
In other words it is not a bug in the system, it is how the system is designed.

It is true that there are multiple inefficiencies: kingdom building, incompetence and laziness, risk aversion, broken communication lines etc... but in a very fundamental way an "enterprise" doesn't "want" to be fixed

> "The best example is the quintessential chess genius. It's hard to find a chess champion who wasn't a precocious talent."

Hold on a second there. Becoming a chess champion is effectively a full time job, and it takes a tremendous amount of work to acquire the skill to do so. Who, as an adult, is going to pursue that as a career if they haven't been playing chess tournaments since childhood? I would argue that there really isn't a path to becoming a chess champion except via being a precocious talent. Without that hope the family and the individual isn't going to pursue it as an option. Nobody is out there earning degrees in professional chess and then going into office work or silicon valley or what-have-you, it's just an extremely specialized field.

> I remember at least two similar scandals in very much non-social-justice-related branches of Academia. One was in postmodern studies, if I recall correctly, the other one I think in epistemology. In one case, the paper had been written to deliberately mean nothing, in the other one, I seem to remember that the papers had been generated with Markov chains.

The article is very clear in it's methodologies and is interacting with the community in a long-term peer-reviewed manner. They were invited to peer-review other papers. This is not one substandard paper that was published in a no-name journal.

If your field of academia is this vulnerable to nonsense, perhaps we should start considering the field not academic and purge it from out institutions of learning.
Like the other commenter, I don't see XML as being an actual problem. While it might be an issue on the engineering side, the data representation details are almost irrelevant to adoption.

I believe most of the issues you listed here stem from federation - the support of different features, slow rollout and thus no e2e encryprion by default.

If we look at non-federated solutions to unify messaging, we have one under the name of Facebook. I don't think it's really what people mean when they say unified though, for reasons ranging from lack of choice, control, and being a single point of failure. In the end, I think that while federation brings obvious pains, there's no other choice.

> Strangely enough you probably could use a blockchain to resolve some of the issues I raised,

I'm interested to hear what opportunities you envision in that area.
My experience with F# is that functional programming is the default paradigm while object oriented is used when it is required or easier (or required by a C# library you really want). A striking difference with the little Scala I read in the wild (where object oriented was the clear default).

The same goes for mutability, it is there and you should certainly use it when it makes sense but it is not the default.
What is wrong with the person in charge of the entire department being recognized for meeting the goal?

If they played a material role in meeting the goals then nothing. The question is so much about who is getting recognized as who isn't getting recognized. If you want to get recognized and get ahead then simply putting your head down and doing hard work isn't going to get you there.

But the Fed cannot just arbitrarily set rates, presumably? There is some "real" rate in the economy, which is determined by supply/demand of capital at different maturities. If the Fed goes significantly below or above that, you should get price inflation or deflation.

Some people argue that interest rates are objectively low because we are in secular stagnation - there are loads of savings, but real economy growth is sluggish which means there are few investment opportunities, leading to low interest rates (e.g. https://www.morganstanley.com/pub/content/dam/msdotcom/ideas... - may not be the best link, I have seen the ideas elsewhere).

If I’ve learned one thing from the cleantech funding bust, it is that many of these would be more successfully funded as basic research than as startups. The iteration and development timelines and sales cycles don’t really fit the standard venture fundable startup model.
My personal guess coming from my experience with pd/maxMSP:

this is what I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2kQ8ETzdyw

In generative music these are actually very popular.

- it's great for simple small things, here it takes out the complexity of the flow of information because it shows it with lines

- input is more work. you still have syntax and everything you can't type you have to click together or even search in a library of elements

- nesting and object orient programing is difficult to depict, you loose more than you gain. You can use a lot of containers and that's what people who are good at it do, but I think it's still not as elegant as reusable functions.

- i personally don't like to have to do screen estate management

Yes, company dynamics are really complex and this book will only have an effect if the people reading it are the company leaders. But they're also reading "10 habits of successful CEOs" articles that tell them to wake up at 4am to send emails!

Ultimately correlation isn't causation. Working 40 hours doesn't guarantee success by itself and neither does waking up at 4am.
Agreed 100x. I find it very hard to understand why some people talk themselves into thinking they need a distributed container orchestration and management platform, when they don’t have a container orchestration problem: they just want to run an app or two with a DB under it.

We need to go back and understand the problem we’re trying to solve, and for 99% of smallish companies and projects this is not container orchestration or hardware resource abstraction.
Stop prototyping. Start producing. Carbon 3D printer
I would not as in my case, and most people's I would bet, working harder does not produce more money or resources. Whether I work four hours or sixteen a day, I still get paid the same. As a programmer, there really is no place to get promoted and bonuses/raises seem to be non-existent. The less I, and other salaried employees, manage to spend working each day, the higher our hourly rate. If I was working for myself or paid hourly, things would be different. If my employer cared enough to give me bonuses/raises/more vacation instead of taking benefits away, things would also be different. As it stands, the only thing I get from working more is poorer health, stress, and the extreme costs that come with that.
> Am I expected to look at every one of those dialogs and figure out what I have to click to "customize" my tracking?

Most of the sites you're talking about are probably in violation of the GDPR. They're hoping that by adding a big notice telling you about their violations they'll be OK. We'll have to see. But there should be a "Refuse" option that's just as prominent as the "Accept" option.

Strange how we, in the UK, have an eight hour day, weekends, public holidays, sick pay, and maternity and paternity leave, then. Or that France has a legally mandated 35-hour working week.

What exactly do you think would happen if we had a four day working week? Labour would be more evenly distributed. Productivity would go up. We'd all live better and more fulfilling lives. What is good for humans, and for societies, is not to amass as much wealth as possible.

I think UBI (or even better, universal basic services) would be a colossal act of social liberation.
But that does not change the fact that his primary role at the moment is selling his research institute to potential funders.
I think you're mistaken, largely in that you're construing the ideology being targeted too narrowly. Note the bit at the beginning about "critical constructivism" -- this is certainly not only about Social Justice; that's just where it's the most obvious.

In short, this isn't just about certain fields being vulnerable to sophistry and bullshit. This is about a number of fields or subfields which are dominated by (not merely vulnerable to) bullshit and sophistry for a common reason, namely, that they have, for what could be called ideological reasons, abandoned the preconditions that make actual truth-seeking possible. Social Justice and the postmodern studies are both part of this; they are related, contrary to what you claim.
> We have made certain observations that are assumed to be the result of matter falling into a "Black Hole". We do not have any observations that show us this as a fact.

They give security researchers rewards for reporting vulnerabilities properly. I hear their program is pretty decent compared to a lot of others. It only costs them about $3 million a year so it works out supper cheap for them too.

Purism is a sham. They are openly trying to abuse the RYF process to get a phone with proprietary firmware blobs certified as "RYF", defeating the entire point of the RYF programme: https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-solving-the-first-fsf-ryf-hurd...

They also have a history of selling x86 systems while articulating vague hopes that the blob/owner control situation will improve in the future, despite this being clearly implausible. In one case for example, they claimed they might get Intel to sign a custom ME firmware for them in the future. Anyone who knows anything about the ME knows that Intel would never do this, ever.
For personal projects, I am using a single dedicated server at Hetzner with Docker & HAProxy. It's beefy enough to be able to handle as many personal projects as I have time to dedicate to.

I've tried to replace my Docker setup with Kubernetes multiple, but it was always too much of a hassle. Things that were easy with a "bare" Docker setup became hard, and single-node clusters always felt like a second-class citizen.

I think the article missed the point because it compares unregulated startups with regulated enterprises. There certainly are more enterprises in regulated industries because working there requires deeper pockets than most startups have.

I believe enterprises are slow because they optimize for efficiency in the sense to use the least amount of energy to reach a goal. They do this by learning institutionally which means by tuning their processes, standards, norms, guidelines, etc. This works great if you need to mass-produce physical things.

Agile is very inefficient. All this continuous integration machinery, all those team meetings, all these frequent reprioritizations. Agile can be very effective though because you notice earlier when you are wrong. The hard thing to do is that you have to stop when you went wrong. Otherwise you are just doing a more wasteful waterfall. For enterprises this is a cultural change which is hard to do.

The problem is that these enterprises have to change because software is eating the world. Fortunately for them, regulation provides a good moat against disruption. For now.

I already blogged something like this before: http://beza1e1.tuxen.de/cost_of_agile.html

It is flawed, flawed to the point of being broken. What education should be: teaching children to become mature adults and functional members of a cooperative society, teaching coping skills for adulthood, cultivating and encouraging a sense of curiosity and interest in reading, learning, etc. What education tends to be: a brutal factory that is not unlike prison that babysits children until they are legally (but not emotionally or intellectually) adults while burning out every ounce of curiosity in science and learning in all but a precious few individuals.

There are tons of ways the system can be improved. One little thing I'll point out is that in school the expectation is perfection and deviation from "perfection" (orthodoxy, memorization, etc.) is punished. If you "fail" a midterm or a big project but end the course with a high degree of mastery of the material you are punished with a lower grade. If you excel in certain subjects but only passably good in some others then you are again punished. Which is exactly the opposite of the way real life works. If you are a superstar (perhaps literally) in even just one area (science, music, art, writing, comedy, machine tools, what-have-you) whereas in other areas you merely have a basic level of competency, well in that case you can become hugely, wildly successful. And yet the educational system would lead you to believe that you would have a dim future in that case and you should stop focusing on what you are best at and most passionate about to improve your "grades" on everything else.
Congratulations for ten great years!

If you've never used it, Gog is a really nicely thought out experience from an ecom perspective. I'm not wild about the app store they've built, but it's worth creating an account and tooling around a little on the website. It's terrific.

Tonnes of the games from my childhood are on their platform. The only annoyance is having to boot into Windows for many of them. I know it's easier said than done, but it'd be great if they could crack a way of wrapping a WINE-like emulator around each game so I can play on macOS.
Start off by going deep, not wide. You'll pick up other languages and technologies over time. Pick a stack that appeals to you and focus on it for a while, learning its idioms and best practices and improving your development fundamentals.
