Most arguments about systemd will devolve into a Motte and Bailey argument. The problems with systemd are all the stuff tacked on that are mandatory, but if you criticize them you'll get people switching to try to put words into your mouth about how the init replacement is good/bad.

The Motte is all the shovelware attached to systemd that is nearly impossible to detatch and the Bailey is the init replacement.

>Either you’re remote-only or you don’t do remote at all. Lots of companies brag about giving their staff the freedom to work remotely.

I've worked on three different "remote" teams now and I think the author's point is spot on.

The first time we did it everyone was remote, scattered across different states in America. It was a great experience. Everyone had a ton of freedom and flexibility and there was a lot of trust across the team.

The next two teams I worked in had each "division" headquartered in different regions. Design was based in one area, Engineering in another, product in another. It was so much worse. The people I worked were wonderful but we just couldn't develop the trust needed to build at the pace the market demanded.

How I describe the issue now is that we thought we were a "remote team" but we were actually just a handful of employees working remote from HQ. The HQ was wherever the core work was being done at the moment (usually with engineering) and the rest of us were just remote employees.

Another parable:

People often think that 100% utilization of stations in a factory is a good goal.

Actually a factory that has 100% utilization at all stations is a factory that doesn't produce anything because each piece of work which isn't make work is waiting for the make work to get finished.

You can convince neurotypicals of this after a long conversation and then they come in the next day and you have to do it all over again, and then the day after that, and then the day after that...

While you're not wrong in the strictest sense, I feel like this sentiment is being myopic to the point malice. The network gained from going to a university full of likeminded and talented people as well as living in a city teeming with opportunity is huge. Not to mention generic quality of life improvements of living in a city, doubly so if you happen not to be a cis-het white man.

Starting money is not strictly necessary nor sufficient for success but it sure can smooth over life's pitfalls, which makes risk taking a hell of a lot easier.

Open standards are more important than open source. Choice is indeed the whole point, but systemd is designed to take my choice away. It doesn't matter how good an init system I make, if it starts getting any traction then systemd will come up with a new incompatible API for doing something, Gnome will take a hard dependency on that API, and distributions won't be able to ship my init system.

It's worth realising that the GNU project could never have happened in the first place - Linux could never have been a thing - if historical Unix had been designed like systemd.
It's not taking a risk if you have a safety net. That is the point of the safety net, to eliminate the risk.

I've lived in really nice areas of NYC and all over Atlanta. It doesn't feel quite as safe as NYC, But I feel much safer where I live here (near Condesa) than I did when I lived in Castleberry Hill (Atlanta), where I was robbed at gunpoint and had things stolen from my building garage. Worst that has happened to me here is my bike was stolen outside a movie theater. Ironically I walked into the theater that night wondering if my bike would still be there when I got out, and indeed my instinct was right. If I had parked it inside the garage of the mall it would have been fine. That was when I first moved here.

It seems to be very much as they say, as long as you don't go looking for trouble it won't find you.

That said I have had to pay a couple of bribes to cops and I certainly never want to own a car here. One time I got caught turning into a bus lane. It was quite innocent I was just following the car in front of me and didn't know where I was going. The other I pretty much got shook down cause I was with a friend whose car has deep tints (which are illegal in the state we were driving thru).

Something I found out, after participating in HashCode was that Google have a pretty comprehensive optimisation library called OR Tools. There is a module specifically for routing. I don't know what Google uses in production, but presumably this was developed for things like navigation:

Any good executive consults with their subordinates to create realistic objectives. This is so fundamental that it's implied. That's the CTO's job. They will in turn rely on their subordinates all the way down to the lowly developers.

Are you suggesting that developers deserve some kind of vote? They're a cog in the machine. Sony isn't a democracy or a worker's collective. As a developer myself, I'm not trying to diminish the role. I like to think I can provide a valuable perspective and that I'd be consulted about my small part. I'm certain that's exactly what Sony did, because they are a successful, well-run company that's been doing this longer than I've been alive.

Beyond that, no, the developers shouldn't have much say. Their role is to help determine what's required to achieve the objectives set by management. Good management will consult with them, set goals, and change tack if the objectives aren't met. If they still can't achieve the objectives in a timely and cost-effective way, management will replace them and go with a vendor. This is all right and good.

I don't know about open source, but I'd be happy to see more Android phones that don't have Google Play services and suite of surveillance apps. Not going to get that on Huawei phones, but if Huawei starts to de-emphasize the Play Store in the future, devs might start looking to move away from Google Play distribution and towards APK downloads on their own sites.

Let's face it, the "app economy" doesn't exist unless you're on iOS and can count on a paying audience. On Android, your only hope for monetization is a free to play Clash of Clans/Candy Crush clone that's jam-packed with ads, tracking and microtransactions.

However, sadly, many people believe in much more questionably "scientifically" proven things, largely due to how simple scientific proof appears due to things like the absolute acceptance of gravity on earth. Going with the religion analogy, there are many basic facts in religious scriptures which are true but this does not make many of the more questionable statements such as how exactly the earth will be destroyed and where you go when you die to be true.

I completely agree with you that science done properly is not a religion; however, that is simply not the case for most of us who either through lack of care or time will never go beyond seeing a news article about a certain scientific discovery and believing in it due to a supposed scientific breakthrough published in a fancy sounding journal.
I agree, and I don't understand why this concept isn't given more consideration. If, as other commenters have said, autonomous freeway travel is so "trivial" why can't we reap the benefits now while the industry grinds away at edge cases for another 20 years?
yes it's still that bad, my previously reliable systems are now non-deterministic and break randomly

every few days I discover some new bit of non-determinism:

- systems getting stuck for long periods at startup or reboot with with some useless text like "Waiting for user session to shutdown"
- reboots never completing at all (getting completely wedged shutting down)
- jobs starting in weird orders, like crond starting up before the network, causing various things to break in new novel ways (sometimes, not always)

I can fix most of these systemd-created issues one by one as I discover them, but it's hardly making my life easier

It's comical how people get so "jazzed" about something like not liking systemd and make a whole movement about it (with their t-shirts and everything). I get people may not love everything about systemd (or maybe they hate it), but I'm not convinced it's so bad. I've been using it since RHEL 7 and I've really gotten used to all of the benefits of systemd. It also doesn't hurt that I went to the session on pid 1 by Lennart Poettering at Red Hat Summit 2014 and he convinced me of the at least not-horribleness of systemd.

I do find it funny that people crap all over systemd, but don't seem to have a huge problem with launchd, despite the fact that systemd was almost a direct port of it.

Personally, while I do think that systemd's scope might have been a bit too ambitious, I do find it easier than something like Upstart

The most recent reason I found to hate systemd was it replaced my system DNS resolver with its own (thus requiring me to modify /etc/systemd/resolved.conf, and doing the daemon-reload-service-restart-hokey-pokey, to get a host to function on a network+VPN like it did before). The only reason systemd has its own resolver is they wanted extra DNS functionality. Did I ask for these features? Did I want a new resolver? No. But that's the whole idea behind systemd. A few devs shoving complex features down everyone's throats, just because they felt like it. Operating system fascism.

But I don't think we should be angry at systemd developers; they can develop whatever they want. I'm mostly angry at the distributions who opted in to their crap. Systemd has not made my life easier, but it has often made it harder, and the only reason that happened was because a distro allowed it.

> systemd monoculture

As someone who really wanted the BSDs to get more credit ~20 years back, and spent a fair amount of time on various commercial Unixes as well, I find that phrase rather amusing. Historically poor standardization of the userland aside, GNU/Linux is the poster child for monoculture in Unix, and has left a whole lot of dead or dying software in its wake.
I was pretty happy when that died out with Nextel phones in the US.
I wonder if the main problem isn't the generational handover of the hobbyist's collection and knowledge. It probably isn't that hard to find someone who'll geek out on old pinball machines, radios, Linotype machines, cars, big honkin' mills and lathes, partly because they remember them when they were younger so there was a strong impression made. Domain knowledge can be ferreted out from some still-living people.

Without trying to imply some kind of opinion as to Huawei or Trump here: I don't think that's a serious threat.

It's one thing to make a lot of tough-looking noise as a matter of protectionism to curry favor with voters thus protected - it's quite another to actually hurt those same voter's economic interest fairly quickly without clear, short-term benefit. In other words: protection classical industry
makes some sense politically (whether or not it's a good idea), setting off a real trade war with your allies when you're also in a trade war with china makes no sense at all.

Also, I doubt Trump needs to. He's quite capable of harassing Huawei without much foreign support. Why risk a recession - and thus reelection - if you don't have too?
I agree, the blurring is not "strong" enough, too much information is retained. It's highly likely that it can be undone (I mean if blurred stuff gets passed around as a screenshot - it would be trivial to undo it right on the webpage ;-) )

The Chinese also didn't think this through very clearly; environmentalist types who love the pandas are probably not pro-Trump.
How do we know that the panda recall is tied to the trade war? Makes no sense since the article mentions that several other zoos in the US still have pandas. This seems like clickbait.

I hate "me too" posts, but this gives me so much rage that I can't help it. My car has a touch screen interface and I am puzzled why car manufacturers even bother. Who thinks the interface they made is even remotely good. It actively degrades the otherwise fine experience of my car. It is ugly, poorly made, and fails at even basic functionality.

I am truly puzzled why these car manufacturers released such terrible user facing features. Maybe it's better these days (my car is ~5 years old), but it's just impressively bad in my car at least.
It's a way to signal displeasure in a diplomatic way. It's not about a bear, it's about taking back a gift. Diplomacy is more about subtlety.

US headlines are dominated by our administration's boorish behavior and we don't get a good picture. The reality is that these issues are more nuanced, and China can achieve outcomes that benefit them in different ways. A common narrative that the BRIC countries are developing is that the US is too volatile to deal with.

Re: leverage, at the end of the day, the US doesn't have the capability to do lots of manufacturing. Our primary export to China is cash. We don't have the machinists, don't have the ability to train for the skills needed to manufacture, and will need to buy tooling from China. Real competitive pressure is decades away. The vaporization of commercial banking means that nobody will be building factories either.

Tariffs generate revenue and are regressive, but ultimately you need to get your iPhone somewhere, and the fabs for SSD, memory, etc and a million other components are located mostly in China. Forget about this as a "trade deal", it's a tax increase.
This seems like a logical outcome considering the company and contractors have an increasingly disconnected and at times adversarial relationship.

The entire gig economy is based on shifting risk onto the contractor (demand changes, benefits, protections regarding injury / illness)... and to some extent onto the consumer too.

I think it would be just as easy for the law to turn the other way, and say you must have a driver competent to take control over the autonomous car at all times for it to be allowed on the road. This negates the pipe dreams of empty cars appearing to scuttle people away, sleeping on your way to work, taking one blacked out drunk, etc., but is perfectly in the context of safety first auto regulations. Road laws are made to favor safety above all else, its why highways still are capped at 70mph across most of the U.S. despite cars being much safer at speed than when these highways were built in the 1950s.
