The title seems to suggest an announcement but the article is essentially speculation. Sure, it's likely that Facebook will exploit the mega-chatosphere for its data in the same way it currently does with each service individually (and cross service if you count account linkage). However, this article is essentially sensationalism for the sake of plugging their own privacy focused chat app.

I suggest the title be renamed to something less official sounding.

Totally agree. inetd is a pretty good model, it just falls down in the face of thousands of slow, low-computational effort connections tying up gigabytes of RAM. That and most schedulers seem to struggle with that number of threads.

Sure; the hypothetical was “if you're a company”, not “if you're a much smaller company”. Power assymetry definitely affects the options here.
There's a good book[0] I continually recommend which traces why people really do love their jobs, and especially the transition between the concept of work in earlier capitalism to the concept we have today. In short, companies (directly or not) put a lot of effort into making sure that your desire aligns with theirs, past the desire to materially sustain ourselves which Marx theorised originally.

A summary of the book:

>Why do people work for other people? This seemingly naïve question is at the heart of Lordon’s argument. To complement Marx’s partial answers, especially in the face of the disconcerting spectacle of the engaged, enthusiastic employee, Lordon brings to bear a “Spinozist anthropology” that reveals the fundamental role of affects and passions in the employment relationship

It is provocative and refreshing to even unsympathetic readers.

It’ll be interesting to see how society develops in this controlled environment.

>it had deleted more than 7 million pieces of online information as well as 9,382 mobile apps, and criticized a news app run by Tencent for spreading “vulgar and low-brow information.

It’s very fascistic, anc is reminiscent of early twentieth century movements to eliminate undesirable behavior and create ideal societies. So far it’s always resulted in misery, death and other horrible outcomes. Still a control/contrast to liberal societies will be interesting.
Society has systematically devalued things like family, marriage and community.

It’s like a variant of Orwell’s vision. The proles are probably the happiest ones.
While I enjoy my work, you’ve got to have breaks even from things you love. It seems doubtful that even if someone is in love with something, they try to spend all day, every day thinking about it or doing it. Heck, I love my SO and my dogs but I need breaks from them as well lol.

Some people love work, some people don’t. That being said, the excessive propaganda that work, work, work doesn’t typically benefit the person working as much as those they report to, like the article points out. That seems to be the main issue rather than an entrepreneur trying to materialize their dream.
I'm happiest when I'm working hard on meaningful problems that I care about.

I also understand that everyone doesn't feel that way. I think that's okay too. I don't understand why this needs to turn into a debate or perpetual flame war.

If you tell hg to rename a file, e.g. hg mv foo bar, it will generate a patch which essentially just says “foo was renamed to bar”, and when you look at the diff the only thing that has changed is the name.

If you merge this with a patch that changed foo then hg will do something sensible (ie either merge the changes into bar or give a merge conflict).

Git has no first-class concept of file name changes. Instead it tries to use heuristics to spot renames and sometimes they work and sometimes they won’t. Maybe if you merge a patch renaming foo to bar with one that changes foo the second patch will be applied to bar, but maybe it will behave as if you are merging changes to foo with deletion of foo.

Merging is already hard, dangerous, and non associative. The danger is less that you get lots of annoying merge conflicts than that you don’t get a merge conflict when you should (and therefore you risk accidentally changing the meaning of the merged files without knowing), e.g. if you merge “rename foo to bar” with “delete foo” and git didn’t spot the move then the merge might leave bar untouched when really there should be a conflict between keeping/deleting bar. Having wrong merges happen automatically can be a big risk when software is supposed to be very reliable.
Wonderful. I should add that you and Sebastian were always extremely responsive and helpful troubleshooting issues with that popped up due to the breaking changes.

I am not so sure. People tend to adapt to things they can't change. They put their hopes and dreams into it and end up loving the idea. I know people who "love" their apartment, but it is just an average apartment with a huge mortgage.

The question as always is of course whether it is real love. Chances are a lot of people will be disappointed at one point.
Probably yes, just not the latest model.
As someone currently working in a project where parts are managed with git and others with fossil, I have a strong preference towards git. One major issue with fossil is the non-existent ecosystem. It simply does not integrate well with other frameworks and tools (e.g. Yocto/OE). Migrating to git entirely would be much better for the team and workflow as a whole, but unfortunately the seniors who are using fossil are quite hostile towards git, for mostly political reasons. The irony is that they have big performance issues with fossil, precisely due to the fact that fossil records everything and the push/pull commands sync the entire repo, not just one branch.

Fossil also lacks an equivalent to git submodules, which should be added to the list of features found in git, but not in fossil.
This is false. I’ve been at 4 different startups and the ones I made myself key to market success were way better than working in these soul crushing meat grinders like Goog or FB. There’s more to life than TC.
You might get some answers if you pose your question better with specifics.
Checks, ACH, wire transfers. Bank to bank, for free or very low fee (compared to transferred amount, like 20 bucks to transfer $$$$ with 1 day settlement for a wire transfer)
I wrote about this previously, but here it goes again:

I think the 7 day "work" week is the most life-relaxing way to work.

I try to work 7 days a week. Some days I work 3 hours, some rare days I work 36 hours.

When I'm not working, I'm enjoying that time and not stressing out regarding income taking time off, because I know I have given it my 100% and not held anything back.

It is satisfying. I feel relaxed at work. I feel well rested.

I think the 5 day work week is soul-crushing: there's just enough time off from work that you dread coming back, and there's enough time at work that you feel overworked.

40 hours over 7 days is a little over 5 hours per day, and sprinkling in a couple 12 hour days spreads the remaining work to 5 three-hour days.
From the archive.org cache (https://web.archive.org/web/20180824215739/https://www.optic...) of their homepage, it looks like they were a company that did OCR, indexing, & AI assisted data extraction.

Seems like a pretty good use of ML really - shouldn’t be an intractable problem to identify something like a scanned W2, run OCR on it and extract the income fields.
There are multiple things happening here. I don't think a majority or even a double-digit percentage of young people have what this author is calling "hustler" mentality, but we'll ignore that, and focus on the people who do have it. Thoughts on "hustle" culture in no particular order...

- Some people are legitimately trying to build a business and be first to market. There are arguments for and against burning the midnight oil, but it could be a rational thing to do.

- Some people are filling a void in their lives left by the evaporation of community, family, and church. The "hustler" types typically live away from their family, don't have kids, and certainly are not going to church. Immersing yourself in a lifestyle with other people struggling, in the same way, is a decent way of feeling like you're a part of something.

- This is probably just a thing in places like NYC and SF where you're surrounded by hyper-successful people at all times. That's why they call it a rat race.

FWIW, I've never been able to work anything like a 12-14 hour day unless it was something I truly wanted to do. There was no pretending.
Here is an attempt to clarify why I think implementation does matter: https://www.sqlite.org/whynotgit.html#git_makes_it_difficult...

When the design of a system makes something difficult, people tend to avoid doing that thing. The Git data design makes extracting some kinds of historical information difficult, with the result that many common tools (ex: GitHub) don't bother. This reduces the information available to users, resulting in reduced situational awareness.

I make no claim that Fossil is perfect in this regard. My only claim is that Fossil is better.

Whether you use Fossil or not, I don't much care. But I really would like you to understand some of the features of Fossil that (I think) make it better than Git, and perhaps start adding some of those features to your favorite VCS, be it Git or something else. Understand the general concepts, then port those concepts to other systems.
God damn, do I hate cynicism.

The entire tone of this article, written by someone whose beat is literally "Startups and venture capital for the New York Times" according to their Twitter bio, is so absolutely beyond patronizing and Knows-Better-Than-You that they can't possibly fathom the idea of people both enjoying work, and having a purpose that is a long way off.

So you're working for someone else's startup right now. They're getting rich off your work. Is the idea that you might be working to prepare yourself for a next job, a startup of your own, somewhere where you have a larger piece of the pie, completely unreasonable? Not all of us came from families that can afford to put us up for the time it takes to get the funds to start. Others of us already have families and want something better.

Furthermore, yes, this generation really does seem to give a fuck about making the world a better place. It often materializes in ways that personally enrich ourselves, but such is capitalism: There's literally no way to be widely effective at helping people that doesn't also enrich yourself along the way. Hence why all the largest charities have significant government sponsorship alongside, and Religion is more commonly seen today as the ignorant hideaway for homophobia, sexism, and the status quo. But many of us also think that we have an idea, that might just work, that is hard to execute on. So why not work toward it?

I'll never fault someone for hating their job. My first gig was being the locker room towel boy for a bunch of fat, sweaty rich people in the densest population of poverty in America at the time(Fresno, CA). The job I got before I became a professional coder was delivering car parts in Claremore, OK, for a guy who store rumor said did some stuff to kids. At that job, I worked 80-90 hour weeks and only billed 50 because I both didn't know what I was doing, and was afraid of being yelled at by my boss.

But for those of us who have something better than that, who enjoy bettering themselves at their craft, while making stabs and tries at something better- why be a cynic about our day job is still a job? Yeah, it's the rat race. But I'm not doing it for a big house, or a car, or fame or fortune. I'm doing it because I hope I can say I left this place better than I found it.
stagnant wages + media glorification of big tech = millennials fighting for studio apartments
What frightens me is that nearly all common mobile devices - that is android with google play services, or iOS - could do the same, technically speaking.
The technical excellence of the Gravis Ultrasound makes it less interesting IMO. It did everything right, so it has no individual character. I prefer hardware that cut corners, e.g. the Amiga's Paula chip, with its hard panning and lack of built in anti-aliasing filter. Technically "bad" sound hardware can have a unique and distinctive sound that's still interesting today. The GUS just sounds like a lower specced version of modern hardware.
> Like almost all articles criticising Facebook, this has a prominent 'like on Facebook' icon/link.

The "voting with your wallet" logic doesn't work very well with operations at the size and impact of Facebook. Zeit may be dependent on Facebook for profit. That's why some people ask for regulations. Companies should not be expected to act as moral agents.

You should also know that journalists writing for a paper has little to do with business strategies of the owners.
They're not faking it, they believe they have impact and are finally able to have the identity and distinction of 'real responsibility'.

They are 'grown ups now' able to live their lives and do real things.

That said - this for those in decent jobs and most of the generation actually doesn't believe that 'hard work' is a defining quality. I looked up the reference but sadly could not find it but from 'greatest generation' to 'baby boomers' to 'gen X' - they all put 'hard work' as a top 5 characteristic of their gen. Gen Y/Z are the first to not include this. It may be a matter of semantics or wording, or even their perception of others in their generation as opposed to an objective reality.
If you're lucky, and many tech workers are, at the beginning of your career work can be insanely fun because, unlike school, you're finally spending most of your time doing the one thing you're good at it, you're gaining skills rapidly, and you're getting paid to do it. The thrill wears off after a few years.
I love the work your lab does, but you are seriously lucky no matter how hard you worked to get there. There are only so many positions like yours in the world. The vast majority of the people didn't and don't have the opportunities you had.

This comes off like a humble brag. I don't think you feel sorry.
Surveillance on the general public is bought by employers/businesses not security services. Yet all these articles keep mentioning law enforcement. 90% of people don’t care if the NSA/FBI are mining their communication for criminal activity. They would care if they realized it affected their job offers, they would care if they realized it means lower wages, less competition, less political freedom.
The USA has long aspired to be a place of outstanding liberty; to run your own business, to say what you want, to own what you want, and in a less corrupt landscape relative to the rest of the world. With its lead in citizen surveillance it is fast becoming the opposite.
The title is a little misleading. It leads us to believe that young people pretend to love work regardless of working conditions

> I saw the greatest minds of my generation log 18-hour days — and then boast about #hustle on Instagram.

This summarizes the idea better. It is unnatural to love an activity that simply drains you of all your time and energy. I "work" all the time. I'm always doing some course, doing actual work, learning, practicing different skills, but mostly I do it in my free time.

The author questions then the surprising nature of the relationship young people have with extremely time consuming jobs, and I believe that is a valid criticism. We need to protect the youth from believing it is OK to reduce the daily routine to sleep and work. Health, mental and social problems all rise from such situations and cost a lot of money from society, from having to waste time and money on therapy specifically to counter those issues that rose from work abuse, to ultimately crippling depression and suicide
Base salary is competitive, but it's the stock grants that add up. After a few years the golden handcuffs are extremely tight.
I don't use it (yet) but every interaction I've had with Cockroach as a company has been great. Even to the point where I had a marketer for a not-quite-direct competitor to Cockroach whisper to me "You know, for your use case, you should probably just use Cockroach..."
"China's cyber watchdog" to stop "malicious mobile apps that infringe on users’ rights”.

Are the unelected chinese authorities and their various ministries really worried about users' rights or is it just cover to control what their citizens/subjects see, hear and read?

I find it interesting how our media portrays this as china's authorities trying to control the internet. But when our media, politicians, elites pressure tech companies to delete, censor, etc, they don't portray it as an attempt to control the internet.

Anyone know if the chinese press are as hypocritical as our press? Do they portray our censorship as an attempt to control the internet?
> totally by individual choice

So are people working for regular employers making video games. There's just more people who want to make games than work on insurance calculation (etc) software. That's why wages are lower.
Or maybe some people actually do love the work they do... Are people really this disenfranchised that they can't possibly imagine that some people really are doing work they enjoy? I love my career and the work I do is fulfilling and gives me a sense of accomplishment
lol yesterday I saw an ad from JP Morgan on Twitter...”why young people don’t just want a paycheck”.

The ad led you to page that talked about how a charity in Seattle got basically 2 weeks of free work from an entry level dev at a JP Morgan event...and now the dev works at the bank.

The subtext of all this of course, wink wink, was how to pay your employees less by giving them something, anything, other than the one thing they actually need, money.
Here are some of my reasons why I love working (and working hard):

1. I actually enjoy programming and working with others.

2. Sense of purpose. Working with others towards a common goal.

3. Reward. The harder I work, the more I increase my chances of greater financial output.

4. Recognition. When my boss or peers acknowledge my accomplishments, it makes me feel proud.

5. Growth. A lot of my personal development has come from wisdom gained through work.

I'm still a bit lost. Can MOSP be translated into infrastructure configurations?
Work is not some uniquely arduous activity. I blog for fun, as a writer I'm sure she would find that to be "work". Even playing video games could be work nowadays. Sex and going to restaurants could also be work to some people. If the "work" is cool and rewarding it could be good. The writer probably grew up in an era where work is divorced from achievement and the results are all sucked up by some far away corporation. Then it sucks, but the problem with that is not work, but that somebody is stealing the credit for your work.
I really can't imagine a job that I could leave to go to that would pay as well or better. And I'm by no means high up the level ladder. Maybe a startup that I got lucky at, but no regular 9-5 job would be able to match.
I think some people are confusing the point. It's not about whether or not you enjoy your work. It's about the glamorization of working more than others.

I think a critical mass of people have bought into the belief that overwork is equivalent with success. That dedication to work is heroic. So there's signalling going on, a desire to cultivate the image of being a winner (in this narrow sense). There's also naivety... people who buy into this and aren't just signalling but truly think working in this way is somehow reflective of the superiority they desire to possess. So there's a cyclical effect, one group feeding back into the other.
"why would you want to"

you want to if you have a mortgage payment each month, or there are people in your life who depend on you for food and clothing.
perhaps Hashicorp Vault fits your requirement? it is not a trivial piece of software to host, but it has the multi-key feature that you need. otherwise, it's mostly a key-value store.

You're going to grind yourself to death.

The huge advantage of the 7th day is that you know you cannot work, nobody else is working, that it's pointless and you can relax. It's 'the time for not working'.

When you work 'every day' - the nagging of 'maybe I can do something' always exists.

If you put in your time on the 5 days, then you can have this 'I know I gave it 100%' feeling.

Also, knowing that you can 'finish stuff on the weekend' I find makes one even a little bit more likely to procrastinate!

I've lived extensively in both worlds (i.e. 5, 6 , 7 days) and I think 7 will catch up to you. It caught up to me.
>Huawei is among the world's top tech investors in R&D. In the top 3 to 5, I'd say.

CLAIMS to be among the world's top tech investors. Literally nobody outside of the communist party has any idea what their true finances are. We've already got proof of that in the money going into and out of Iran which was unaccounted for.
They don't mean bzr the VCS, they mean Cathedral/Bazaar.
Eh, I'm like...7 years in or so. It's still pretty fun. It feels good to develop expertise and to have valuable insights that people are interested in. If I were still doing the same job as when I started, I think I'd be very bored.
No, I believe what author is asking for is to keep those changes in git, but have git manage grouping of history logs for you.

E.G. you have worked in a feature branch, and committed 10 times - let those commits be kept in the log, but when running git log there must be a flag that allows for filtering based on how granular the output must be.

That can be done with rebase, but then you loose history.

I am pretty sure you can implement something like that in git based purely on commit message content.
I meant for contactless payment - I'd be interested to see how an open version of that could ever develop.
