Past tense is not necessarily programmer-centric. Release notes are generally written in the past tense (with headings like Added/Changed/Removed). If commits are written in the past tense and from the user's point of view they can be used pretty directly to create the release notes.

> it tells me what the commit is doing at this particular point in history

When I talk about a particular point in _history_, I use past tense. :)
I've worked in that same environment (as a man (and have been one of those nitwits (hopefully not a detractor!!!))) for 2 decades and echo those thoughts. The author is being genuine and accurate. Anyone offended by it should take a look in the mirror.
I don't think people have an issue with contributing to the cost of creation, at least enough movies etc are being made and paid for that they are still making money.

As for changing the system, the current problem with copyright is that it mixes control and payment, leading to stupid things like HBO not being available unless you pay for a gazillon channels you don't need.

I see a future where producers have to declare their prizes, but must offer the same deal to anybody who is willing to buy it. Any exlusive deal is automatically a violation of monopoly laws.
So it’s a pain to back up large databases.

I worked for Qualcomm on 802.20. This was their first OFDMA system, complete in 2007 but polished for release at a disastrous time - 2009 - and all the patents were eventually fed into LTE. LTE, being a European standard, was 4 years late and 80% as good ...

The company in 2002 used a large compute farm to simulate the entire network stack (57 cells, hundreds of users) and to prototype changes to improve sector throughput. My group built the network emulator and tested TCP performance. They tested and simulated the crap out of their designs. Once the hardware was all built then they drive through the canyons of San Diego which is the second-worst wireless environment on Earth (Hong Kong #1 worst) to tune it so that it works well. Then they charge "too much."

The Europeans slap something together, producing networks very sensitive to site planning to work AT ALL, and then they charge a lot more for the network hardware changing data networks the way a young girl changes her shoe color every other day...

You have a choice when it comes to wireless network hardware and software. Qualcomm stuff is Rock solid. No other company does half of the design and field proving the Qualcomm does with their Network equipment.
Even if you don't rent out your residence (you live there), you're still collecting implicit rent. It's the value you would have been paying to be a renter, society loses because you exclude others from your residence. And every residence has to be owned by someone. You cannot escape rent seeking unless you're homeless or live in a jurisdiction with a "Land Value Tax".
Had to deal with this before. Really hampered things with bloated backups and extended restore times during restoration tests.

Also not a good plan for the database to no longer fit within RAM, especially if the storage engine is evicting cached pages for blob content, only to populate a CDN.
This is clearly wrong. If usability suffers due to tracking implementing this removes a disadvantage of tracking; so it supports tracking. If usability doesn't suffer it still provides a cleaner and simpler way to implement the tracking and also supports tracking.

The only legitimate reason to add this is that if some browsers have it and some don't usability will be better on some browsers than on others.

This is a prisoner's dilemma. Or was.

The solution to this is eg a content blocker in safari.

The browser still reports “ping” as usable so no blocking of the user or expensive (resource wise) js alternatives, but when you click the link the URL is evaluated as being blocked and safari does nothing relating to the ping.

This isn’t theory, I’ve tested it and it works.

I don’t know enough about blocking capabilities in Firefox to theorise how it would work there.

At the very least immigrants would need to fill out a ton of paperwork and endure multiple bureaucratic round trips, assuming the destination country even has the capacity to deal with all applications.

Then the message behind a detailed screening is: "We consider you as an extreme risk, which is only worth taking if we can exploit you enough."

You can't bring your spouse or family, at least not without significant hurdles, and if that process is too easy, screening for the original criteria is undermined.

Considering restrictive immigration policies against your people, you won't be able to find a supportive immigrant community and are totally dependent on fitting in with the locals, and the locals letting you fit in. Just ask Westerners in Japan.

For any kind of screening to work, you also need a ruthless border control and immigration enforcement, including mass deportations if neccessary. An effective enforcement has to - at the least - "inconvenience" anybody looking remotely like an immigrant, before being shown any paperwork.

Many of these factors don't play out in many countries, but mostly with the result that the screening doesn't really work that well. The US and Canada have rather big populations of undocumented immigrants, despite having detailed and sophisticated "screening" processes.

I don't wish triplebyte, recruiters, and other rent-seeking middlemen well.

poor phrasing on my part and I think we're in agreement about this, of course companies should have control what goes on their platform, they're not public services - the issue today is they have the power but none of the consequences from potential fallout. Should we really be placing that power in the hands of for profit entities? Regulation is it's own bag of worms, but at least the government is in theory meant to be acting in the interest of the populace vs. shareholders - a key difference especially in dealing with influence/reach/impact of the likes of twitter, facebook, reddit etc
I also fail to see the difference between Chinese corporate interests and Chinese government interests. Doesn't the government have its hands in all this stuff?
That's only half true. Chinese authorities will generally just not let you out of the country again, if the crime isn't severe enough. Also as a foreigner you won't necessarily be notified that there is even a court case against you and you can be fined/sentenced in your absence.

I am working on SaaS DocsApp (https://www.docsapp.io/) solo and bootstrapped. DocsApp is a platform to manage your product documentation. DocsApp now is profitable and growing. Currently I am focusing on marketing to grow more. DocsApp was born as a result of frustration to building documentation for Product/SaaS.

I have been working on DocsApp for 3 years and only now start profitable. The hardest problem I faced was marketing and sales. Development is only 30% of the work.
I think the most important thing is to create atomic commits. Each commit should do one thing and do it cleanly. In other words, if you later regret the change, you should only have to revert one commit to remove it. If when reverting you need to go back and reapply part of the commit (due to it being unrelated), that's the sign of a bad commit.

I've worked with people who were adamant white space and formatting changes should always be in their own commit. But in my experience, it's never been a problem.

I live in a 3 room 90m^2 apartment in central Aarhus in the middle of the university. It’s worth $350,000, but and you can rent out each room for $700-$800 a month, to an endless stream of students.

The guy who was elected head of our ownership organisation/community (might be a danish construct) bought two apartments when he moved in. He did have $150,000 to make both loans not-bank loans (again this might be a Danish thing, but we have special loan institutions that cover 70-80% of personal house loans at really low rates). Anyway, the one he rents out pays for both loans, taxes and added expenses and after 20 years those loans will both be paid out.

It’s really kind of silly how easy life can be if you start out with a little money and use them wisely.
I’m not too surprised to be honest. WhatsApp is king in (western) Europe. I message all my friends, both Android and iPhone users, in WhatsApp because it’s just accepted as the de facto standard since everyone is on it. Phrases like “WhatsApp me” translated into various European languages are common here and synonymous with “send me an sms.” I’m part of a lab group at my university and WhatsApp is our main line of group communications, not Slack or email or whatever flavor of the month team chatting service is popular these days. I message my professor/boss as a primary contact point. He messages me to let me know he’s running late for a meeting and vice versa. WhatsApp is just literally everywhere here.

E: I just found an issue one of the locks in my apartment. I whatsapped the maintenance guy my landlord employs to request him to fix it and he messaged me back he’s gonna be here in a couple of hours.
That's an incredibly thin argument (society loses because you don't let someone pay rent to live in your home). You have to deny the existence of second-order intangibles which seed first-order tangible economic value such as community and social cohesion. If you like, ownership-based behavioural incentives. A 'stake in society'.

I have to bring up Jsonnet [1] in every one of these discussions. Jsonnet isn't the tool you want for managing a complex stack of configurable objects, but it is the tool you need. Jsonnet gets big and ungly and unweildy at a certain point, and that is also coincidentally the point where you need to have rethought your model and refactored your config, just as much as your code.

Simple yaml is just fine, even repetitive simple yaml, and you're often better off building tooling to make repetitive updates rather than condense your config. Jsonnet is for building when you've got dozens rather than handfuls of objects.

Well defined Kubernetes objects don't actually take that much configuration, don't generally need templating. Typically, my production and staging environments are precisely the same deployment definition, except image and replicas. Replicas isn't defined in the document - it's part of the working state rather than something that gets "configured" (i.e. that field is owned by an HPA, even if it's min and max values are the same)

All configuration is stored in Configmaps and secrets. Those are more likely to be templated, but still probably not. If two values are the same in production and testing (and they should be - service names are the same, with namespace defining where they point), why configure it? Use a sane default.

To counter some of the comments here, and after looking at the sources, the RediSearch module is pretty capable and matches a lot of the Elasticsearch features: https://github.com/RedisLabsModules/RediSearch

Agree with the general claim that this benchmark is poor though. A real study of complex searches with faceting, ranking and ordering against both databases in a distributed setup would be much more interesting.
Really appreciated your service at my last company, and I recognize some of how hard what you do really is. In my case you're over 400 miles off. That's not a complaint; I'm amazed at how much you manage to get right.
> Speak for yourself there. Not everyone is driven by money above all things.

Considering most people spend 8+ hours a day working for money, I'd say yes, everyone is driven by money above all things.

Just look at the millineals, I mean, excuse me, new college grads. They shit talk Facebook's ethics, but the moment they receive a $100,000 job offer from Facebook, their ethics go out the window and they accept the offer from this "shady-ass" company.

I’m not sure how the US tax system works, it seems doubtful that if you spend money on an asset you can deduct the full amount from the tax you pay? In Australia you would basically deduct the purchase price of a MacBook Pro off the total profit you calculate tax on so it ends up being around a 30% discount on the MacBook Pro. If it’s similar in the US at all spending profit pointlessly would just be throwing money away?

This is highly variable.

Some people actively desire appreciation for small things, and miss it when it's absent. Other people find appreciation for small accomplishments distasteful.

One small job for good managers is to figure out who their people are (on this, and a thousand other axes). But be careful not to assume everyone feels the way you do about compliments from management.

No. Ads are not bad. Ads for products that suck are, which is to say 90% of products and something like 99.99% of ads (really great products only need ads if they are in areas that are not normally talked about, e.g tampons).

Ads for products that don't matter to me are noise and annoying.

We should actively work toward rewarding people who create stuff that solves problems, but right now nobody has a better way to get the word out there than using ads.
Good points —

We did kinda assume that the buyer would set the rent to at least cover her ongoing costs. In the UK, for example, you can only get a “buy to let” mortgage if you can prove that you can reasonably charge enough rent to cover your mortgage payments.

You’re totally right about reinvesting the earnings into stocks etc — we excluded this in the model to simplify things and not be too prescriptive. But if I were thinking of doing this, I’d definitely want to take that into account :)
Yeah client-go typed clientsets are codegened. It would be really labor intensive (and error prone) to write go code for every deployment.

Do it, but something different.

If you are a writer, and you’re stuck writing a book, you write something else for a while. If you’re a painter, you might try using a new medium.

You’re a programmer, so try tackling a completely different small problem. Maybe take the opportunity to try a totally new (to you) language — don’t be afraid to use something radically different. Ever code in assembly? Why not!

Some people work better when they’re “in the spotlight.” Twitch streamers are often known for entertainment, but actually many coders show up there, too. You could try starting a stream, and see if you are more focused when people might be watching.
Not supporting it means sites without tracking have better user experience. Now tracking is natively supported, everyone can just start doing tracking without any of the disadvantages.
So... What was it? :)
Enigma – A minimalist, locked-down one-to-one chat app. Beta testing underway
Features

Authentication: Passcode authentication is enabled which is needed to unlock hidden and locked chats. If your device supports fingerprint authentication, then you can use it as well.

Hide Chats: You can hide chats to protect against prying eyes. YOU will have to authorize to unhide the chats.

Lock Chats: Hidden chats not secure enough? Lock individual chats which only open after YOU have authorized it.

End Conversations: Once you’re done with a conversation, you can choose to end it, by swiping your friend’s message from left to right. Doing so will delete all the conversation up until that message.

Save messages: Double tap on any message to save it locally. Saved messages can be viewed by swiping right to left on the chat screen.

No pesky notifications: We do not believe in keeping users addicted to our app by frequent notifications. Chat when you feel like it. We do not bother you with notifications.

No forwarding: Enigma is developed to be an intimate one-to-one chat application. There’s no option for forwarding messages. Hence no fake news.

Beautiful, minimal UI: The UI is uncluttered and beautiful. Gestures are used to make it pragmatic instead of using additional screen space.

Less than 10 MB: All the above features are tucked under a measely < 10 MB APK Size.

Link to Beta Testing

The app is currently under Open Beta Testing and here’s the https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.amitjoki.enigma All the feedback is appreciated.
Most of the offers I have seen are either widely out of proportion to a reasonable price (e.g essentially all newspapers), won't allow me to maintain privacy, aren't easy to purchase or are pointless bundles (newspapers linked from Facebook, I just want to buy that one article).

I am typing this while listing to google music, which I have a paid subscription for. I also pay for Netflix and HBO. They are worth it for now.

Late reply here, but in a recent post Juan said that he would begin working on the Vulkan port in May.

https://godotengine.org/article/godot-32-will-get-new-audio-... (at the bottom)

In the post I previously linked he said he expected the port to take a "couple of months", so we could expect it in any release made in the 3rd or 4th quarter this year, maybe as early as July?
Yeah I'm very happy with that shortcut :) others mentioned a shortcut with Ctrl-Shift-Escape, to force it to sleep. But doesn't seem to work in my case (I'm often using my MacBook in clamshell mode).
As an addendum: The subtitles are really not to be relied upon for what he actually said. I regret pasting them. They were probably typed up on the spot and leave out the majority of the content.

Also, for example, he said "[people talk about] senior R&D employees", but it is subtitled as "a wave of employees".

The three points above are accurate however.
surely that depends on the type of company you have? If you have a personal company then I expect it is like that, if on the other hand you are incorporated the full purchase should be deductible, the reasoning of course is that a product you buy for a personal company is also used for you.
And the reason for that report is the present that USA voted for in 2016.
