I wish one of Amazon's "Principles" were openness/transparency, because I think it'd be great to see some of the internal memos Bezos writes to colleagues and how they debate their thinking in writing. Amazon has always been a "skate where the puck is going" kind of company, unrivaled for customer obsession, and I think it'd be great to see their thinking on things like the Whole Foods acquisition, the Fire flop, the surprising growth of AWS, the future of UPS/FedEx, Kindles in a multi-device world, last mile drone delivery, surprising stickiness of Prime, entry into display ad server market, among any number of other topics. I imagine internal Amazon mailing lists for execs are like a rich archive of Stratechery posts but written by hundreds of smart thinkers/writers (and perhaps moderated by Bezos himself!)
And of course it puts out additional heat into the room, making it slightly more miserable for everyone else.

There is some kind of metaphor in that.

As a counter point: my org users both ansible and cloud formation.

If you're use case is to create 10+ objects in parallel (as a response to a customer action) I really like cloud formation...

We built a system around it, and I love the robustness of CF... It's "fire and forget". We can literally create a virtually unlimited number of stacks in parallel and check on them later to make sure they are successful... Granted this is probably an unusual use case, but we user a stack to represent a customer... In essence... And we're providing a real (temporary) server or set if servers for student/education (so it's not like we can redesign this for something other than making EC2 instances). We can support an influx of 100 users per minute using CF, but using Terraform or ansible we had to spin up temporary worker nodes to run their scripts and could only contact as many stacks as we had worked nodes... So CF let's is have one $30/month server super nearly infinite scalability.. but ansible was requiring us to spin up nodes 1:1 with how many we wanted to construct in parallel and Terraform looked no better.

In addition.... And on this I can't speak for specifically Terraform.. but we also have been burned because community modules changing and breaking backward compatibility... We've been version locked on ansible because version 2.6 broke security groups and version 2.7 broke another module... These are the popular built in but community maintained modules... But people redesigning modules don't know all use cases that could be available in CF (like referencing a security group in another account across a VPC link).. so a rehearsal expression update and presto.. a valid SG reference is no longer usage in that ansible version.

Since we use Infrastructure as Code, obviously we still see there are still benefits. I 100% recommend codifying your system! However, I still like to throw in caution that these solutions are not typically as featured as the native tools. The third party tools are also not always the "correct" solution. In addition, "cloud agnostic" seems like a misleading term, since you can't pick up your Terraform or ansible code and go to another provider. So I think it's more accurate to say "they can do multi-cloud orchestration of components" than "they are cloud agnostic".
You think you’re reasonably well backed up until the sh*t hits the fan and you realize everything is hanging by a much thinner thread than you thought. Recent events I experienced have added really working through record backups to my todo list.
I don't like Adobe's 12 month lock-in pricing, but saying subscription software should be illegal is ridiculous. Especially using a single company's practices as proof.

This just strikes me as an angry rant post with a selfish premise. There is no consideration about the sustainability of a software business and why they tend to move towards subscription-bases. And consider how much value you are getting out of the tool.

Does $50/month for the tool that allows you to do your trade (and always having access to the latest features) really seem ridiculous? Seems like a fairly trivial business expense to me.

But if you don't like it, don't use premiere. There are plenty of options out there that aren't subscription only.
However intellectual property is the creation of the government.
I like the note in the end about his advice:

This advice doesn’t get you very far. In the abstract, it’s just more self-help cliché. For me these are hard-won lessons, and it’s unlikely I would have done anything differently if someone had told me this when I was 26 or 30.

I feel like the cause of burnout generally lies much deeper than not asking for help or not putting health first. It's more about certain values embedded in you from your past. Those values make you feel responsible for things you aren't, and might make you push yourself. Which might also bring you good things in life, but you have to wonder where those values came from and if they are indeed true for you and helping you.
They email you repeatedly if they haven't seen your drive for at least 14 days warning of this.

Why is he talking about subscription software being illegal while also talking about how Adobe sucks? If he was happy with his subscription, I doubt he would have written this post. Yet, being happy with a subscription has a little to do on the morality of it.

Of course, no one actually thinks subscription software should be illegal. Maybe he's making a distinction between software that can operate offline and internet dependent software?

> I also think that paying once to OWN software should be practically a human right. It’s my operating system, my computer, and I don’t see why I should be renting part of it from some greedy little fuckwits.

It's not even your operating system, or computer. You can't do anything you want with them. For BSD, you have to keep the copyright, for Linux, you have to redistribute the source if you redistribute the binary, and for Windows you can't really do anything.

If he doesn't want any new Photoshop features, I'm sure he can find an old binary that works for free on the internet. Or he could just switch to something else.
There's still a mesh. Containers need to know which containers to communicate with and across which ports.

If putting a container on a service at scale were simple then services like Lambda would have never been popularized and orchestration frameworks like kubernetes wouldn't exist
How do you test whether it accurately removes irrelevant information? If you insert an irrelevant piece of text such as "yesterday it rained" into the text, will the summarizer always delete it?
Even working long hours for money can bring meaning & happiness if one donates a lot of that income to worthwhile causes that make the world a better place for everyone. Movements like Effective Altruism seek to find the most effective ways to donate. This of course does depend on what work one is doing and on not "wasting" non-work time on meaningless "entertainment"..
If they are independent with a clear mandate like the Fed, then it can be decided on the mandate's merit. If it's an open-ended government controlled socialist bank, hell no.
> I think your judgemental reaction against the intended substance in my comment just proves the point.

It doesn't. Drawn to its logical conclusion, your philosophy can't prove anything. When challenged, you relegate to semantic games, diluting your terms and statements to the point where they can mean anything and nothing. You accuse me of being judgemental instead of actually defending your philosophy.

Well, so what if I'm being judgemental? When it comes to philosophy, judgement is in order.

> In my book omniscience need not be some kind of superpower, even a sincere effort to comprehend and understand clearly, without heavy overlays, is on track. Learning to pierce those overlays with patience has never disappointed.

Omniscience not only is a superpower, it is a godlike superpower. It means "to know everything". Everything! Of course, if in "your book" omniscience means something else entirely, you shouldn't use that word without simultaneously giving your idiosyncratic definition. Otherwise, you're playing that semantic game where you can retreat from any position by changing the meaning of words after-the-fact. It's the cheapest trick in the book.

> Unless perhaps you were thinking I meant omnipotence.

No. To "know everything" is distinct from being able to "do anything".
I use Safari, Firefox/Mozilla is wholly dependent on money from the ad industry (Google). But Safari also goes in the direction the ad industry desires through its adoption of new standardized features. There is really no way out using the current "web", we need a simple, open alternative that isn't controlled by the ad industry and adopts only features in the best interest of the users first and content creators second.
>So where am I supposed to store such kind of valuables now?

If all the banks are dropping this service, there's probably other companies that will start doing it.

In Europe the investment climate is substantially different than in the United States to the point that the same rules do not apply except for the most generic ones. The stock market isn't nearly as important a factor for the European economies as it is in the United States, the market is more fragmented and the typical stock market listed company is much smaller than its equivalent in the United States.

To some extent this is also why it is much harder to run a successful start-up in the EU.
Expertise - Because you're more likely to know when you don't know.

Composure - Because you know things will go wrong and that you can't fix everything, you focus less on self-blame.

Collaboration - Because you don't necessarily know best, you don't bully others.

Confidence - Because you know yourself without exaggeration, you can be confident when it's deserved.

It's more really about not having the wrong kind of confidence, but rather the one gained by study and example (the article seems to instead equate 'Confidence' with 'charismatic leadership', but I don't agree that's the best style of leadership for most occasions).

Jeff was an IC. He no longer is. Under the naive assumptions that many people in this thread are making, that means the IC position he was in should be available.

This is good post on experiencing burnout (and avoiding it).

Written by an early programmer at Slack, and someone involved with their recent desktop app rewrite project.

For me, "team marathon running" on software projects means only rarely "sprinting".

As the author suggests, sacrificing sleep, body, and hours eventually catches up with you. But, it's very easy to do and we've all been there. This is part of the reason that medical residents are burnt out on medicine even though they love medicine. It doesn't matter that you're doing what you love -- that's only the top little self actualization triangle of Maslow's heirarchy/pyramid of needs. You need all the base components of Maslow's heirarchy satisfied, too -- financial health, bodily health, emotional health.

> The government may not criminally punish immigrants based on speech that would be protected if said by a citizen.
> Non-citizens can be denied entry to the U.S. based on things they've said that, if said by a citizen/permanent resident, would be "protected" speech under the first amendment.

Strange to me to draw this distinction. Denying entry is a prohibition exercised by the state. If you can be punished in any way, you don't have a right.
I’m not sure that this helps the the news sites that much. The ACCC’s site on unfair contracts gives examples such as.

terms that enable one party (but not another) to avoid or limit their obligations under the contract
terms that enable one party (but not another) to terminate the contract
terms that penalise one party (but not another) for breaching or terminating the contract
terms that enable one party (but not another) to vary the terms of the contract.

“Google may display short snippets in exchange for a better position on the index” I don’t reached the type of unfairness that the law covers.
Those are people that are already in, not the people that are out. There's plenty you can't say as a foreigner on your way in that would be protected for a citizen.

I'd been aware of the article from mentions by Isaac Asimov, who'd conducted much of the literature search for Stern while a student at Columbia, and mentions it in a few places. He based his short story "Trends" off the notion, as described here:

https://books.google.com/books?id=SWBqlnbIIqkC&pg=PA54&lpg=P...

I'd tracked down a portion of the article (published in three parts), and someone pointed me at the Internet Archive version earlier this year.

I found the quality wanting, so retyped it myself. Beware typos. I may have a cleaner version elsewhere.

https://mastodon.cloud/@dredmorbius/101929608999060831

I find any number of aspects of the piece fascinating. Stern's own history, Asimov's involvement, the specific technologies listed, the dynamics and parties involved in resistance, the citations and references, the specific arguments made and raised (for and agaist technologies), and the depressing regularitty with which one period's tech maverick becomes the next's obstructor. Specific detail (the rationale against typesetting the Koran because of hog-bristle brushes, particularly).

I also got very upset with Adobe subscription model and simply switched to Affinity Photo / Designer and DaVinci Resolve. Never looked back.
Yeah it's baffling. To me it really shows the current belief that "tech will solve everything", even when much simpler alternative can do the trick.
Couple of points here:

- Apple is about to ship a new mac os that comes with improved support for running ios/ipados applications as well as using an ipad as an extension of your screen.

- The reason for the Mac Pro and the Mac Book Pro to exist is to enable professional artists, developers, and other people that need this kind of hardware to do their thing. Mostly they use tools not developed by Apple. E.g. Adobe is king for anything related to graphics. There are a bunch of third party 3D tools out there. Same for video. Same for Audio. Porting all of that to a new processor architecture will take a lot of time. It also has a severe risk of alienating developers and users during the transition. E.g. Adobe took their sweet time launching optimized versions of their tools for Intel ten years ago and meanwhile some users moved to Windows.

- Mac developers targeting intel macs (i.e. all existing macs), would probably want to develop and test on the machines they are actually targeting. Building cpu/gpu intensive x86 software on an ARM architecture with an X86 emulator makes no sense. You'd want the real thing. Xcode on arm would be a hard sell (except for IOS developers).

- A key money maker on IOS/IpadOS is the app store and the whole point of an ipad is that all the software comes from there. The whole point of Mac OS is that pro users get a lot of their software outside the app store.

- VR/AR is slowly starting to happen and Apple has mostly ignored this on mac os and only done a little bit on IOS (AR mostly). Any hardware that Apple is going to launch here is extremely unlikely to involve Intel or AMD hardware. In fact I suspect this is the primary reason Apple has not pushed hard on this on mac OS: they are looking to disrupt this space with an Apple product that consists 100% of Apple hardware and software and are not interested in filling the gap short term by depending on third party hardware.

So, a processor architecture change on mac os would be short term disruptive and risky. They have a coherent strategy for getting mac users to buy an ipad and double dip in revenue and it seems they are pushing a lot of users toward that platform. Also the pro market is comparatively small but extremely lucrative in its current form.
This is where GCP shines. The IAM and user system along with the organization/folder/project hierarchy is magnitudes better than anything in Azure or AWS. Makes managing everything from hobby projects to big corps simple.

The only annoying thing is that GCP uses json certification files for service accounts rather than just API key/secret pairs which are more portable, but you can usually avoid dealing with this by setting the account for the underlying VM or managed service.
Decentralizing in this case also means losing control. Not on character for CCP.
Just tap water, but my state/county has good tasting water and I also have a fridge filter. If the tap water tasted awful, I'd drink less water for sure.
You're not wrong there, I definitely agree about Adobe's business practices being shady.

My main argument is against them saying that subscription software should be illegal.
That's known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Isn't this just covered by ordinary tort law? There is a duty of care, there is a lapse of said duty. The issue seems to be that people are putting valuable items into it and then signing a contract that says that the limit of liability is limited to much less than the value. If that isn't negotiable with the bank then the bank is just not willing to accept the risk. Then either you can find an insurer who is willing to accept the risk or you can find a different bank who is willing to accept the risk or you can build a safe yourself since all the risk is on you anyways.

There doesn't need to be special laws for everything.
Primarily doesn't mean only. Of course there are self made people, but the number of those who come from money if much higher.

Cory Doctorow lately has been on a kick for something he calls adversarial interoperability. He's advocating for things like making it legal to reverse-engineer file formats.

Maybe instead of banning subscription formats, make it unenforceable for a TOS to ban reverse-engineering for compatibility reasons.
Happy GIMP user here. GIMP is probably the most apparent "something else".

But talking to my friends who use Photoshop, apparently the learning curve of GIMP is too steep. It doesn't work the way Photoshop does, and so they don't use it. I find this odd.. they'd prefer to carry on paying hundreds of cash each year to use a buggy piece of software that they know, instead of using this awesome piece of software for free with the minimal investment of a few days learning. People are weird.
