The funny thing is that that post doesn't address any of the theoretical arguments made by Brooks. While certainly less rigorous than physics, his argument is analogous to a discussion of the speed-of-light limit, and that "Yes Silver Bullet's" argument is analogous to, "but what if we use a different kind of fuel in our rockets?" and then claiming that that fuel is the silver bullet with neither empirical nor theoretical evidence to support that claim.

Indeed, quite a few PL enthusiasts called Brooks's predictions overly pessimistic based on similar non-arguments back in the '80s (he lists some of them in his followup, No Silver Bullet, Refired), but reality proved his predictions to be overly optimistic. So he was right and they were wrong. The arguments in Yes Silver Bullet had already been put to the test failed. Is that reality a definitive proof that there is little accidental complexity left? Of course not, but it does raise the bar for those who claim there's a lot of it left, certainly well beyond simply asserting that that is the case or considering it a reasonable working hypothesis.

Amazing fact about that book and show: Sergeant Rodolfo "Rudy" Reyes ('Fruity' Rudy) finished his term with the military and decided to move to Hollywood and become an actor. A few years later, casting began for the miniseries based on the book, based on his tour. He tried out.

Rudy is played by himself.

My right arrow key fails about 50% of the time. I already replaced the keyboard on this (shit) computer once. I use my MacBook professionally for my work everyday. I can’t easily tolerate losing access to this device for days to get the keyboard replaced again...

I spent two weeks working remotely recently and had to use this keyboard rather than my old, excellent, pre-bufferfly switch external Apple keyboard (link for anyone curious — you can still by their old/good usb keyboards on amazon — https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07K7V1FWC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_...). My hands and fingers were noticeably more fatigued after using the terrible keyboard. My coworkers commented about how much more typos they noticed in slack than normal.

I absolutely hate this computer — not in a “complain about little things that bother me way” - in a “this device is by far the least favorite apple device I’ve ever owned” kind of way. I dislike this computer at every level not because small issues — because of large, major, fundamental problems.

Living in tribalism is still better than living in a Chinese communist dominated world--totalitarianism.
I wonder if Louis Rossman is a part of this trial program? He certainly made a lot of noise about the right-to-repair.
Perhaps what we're finding out is that humans have had all sorts of natural obstacles to communication: geography, the ability of sound to travel, and so forth. As time progressed, trade and travel have presented unique challenges. When I meet a strange person, they might not be friend or foe but something in-between. We can still converse and exchange, but I don't trust you. Not like my people.

We've socially evolved as tribal creatures, but odd ones. We're tribal creatures with the ability to freely mingle between various tribes (for the most part). This actually gives us tremendous evolutionary advantages. We evolve first as individuals, then as small groups, then as groups-of-groups, and so on. At any one time there could be millions of various adaptations in the works. As conditions change, various individuals and group succeed and others fall by the wayside. This person-family-clan-tribe-region evolutionary promotion model works for biology, science, social mores, and so forth.

What we tech folks have done, and we had no way of knowing, is flatten all of that out. So now what we see is winner-take-all for all of those things that used to be widely diverse and somewhat chaotic. It would seem to folks who didn't know better that this would be a good thing. After all, isn't standardization good? But in fact it's turning what used to extremely robust and anti-fragile systems into quite brittle and unpredictable ones.

I don't think most people understand the problem, even the ones who complain about it. That doesn't make me optimistic that there's a solution forthcoming.
First, centralized logging is not just a good idea -- its key when you start working with multiple servers (which will most likely be almost right away). You need to be able to trace requests / responses / errors across your platform. Many tools (including logging library -> database and a custom log search / viewer) can give you this. Just pick something that works for your budget and development process and start there. To track a single chain of events, you'll just need to have a GUID that you pass between calls in a single request (used for logging).

Next, you'll want to track analytics centrally. Etsy and Netflix have been pioneers in this area. Their engineering blogs are very good to follow. Think: something like a timeseries database (like Influx / Prometheus) and getting data into it. Use tools like Grafana to get data out of it in dashboards or reports. This is separate from your application debug / error logging system.

The next step after this is developing something that consumes data from both of those systems and provides alerts based on unusual activity -- something that provides early warning to devops.
If you add the Notes shortcut to your Control Center, you can hard-press on it and tap Scan Document to very quickly be able to scan a document. It does a really good job too!

The negativity is because people do not want to see this becoming a trend, where CLI tools start advertising. One practical way to fight against new forms of advertising is to complain in public, complain to the advertiser, and make sure that form of advertising is associated with user complaints. That seemed to work here.

I don’t think the majority of the pushback was about Feross personally. But when people see a new form of advertising that seems especially annoying, it is quite logical to respond negatively.
The problem is then their grade ends up being heavily affected by the quality of work done by other people. It'd be impossible to objectively grade such a task.

The key difference between university and work is that in the former you are supposed to receive a pretty fine-grained assessment of your own skill, which is isolated and repeatable. In work, it's understood that promotion and slotting is a much more arbitrary affair and the marking criteria may not even be documented, let alone applied consistently. Also if your project fails because of bad work done by others, well, tough luck, that's what your salary is for. In university you're paying to be there, not the other way around, so the amount of random failure tolerable is much lower.
> Renaming with anything other than Enter makes sense because Enter opens the file.

Does it? Enter is “text confirmation, make new line”.
With single line inputs it’s expected to work like a submit for e.g. a search. Submitting a file name change happens with enter on windows as well. Now if you rename with f2, then submit with enter and accidentally press enter a single time you suddenly have executed or opened something you only wanted to rename. Enter, the most prominent big button with a single function after space, suddenly becomes a completely orthogonal context sensitive option. That’s weird

And don’t get me started on the use of enter in Microsoft teams based on context of your message...

If you are in a list or ‘’’ code formatted block the first enter will break out and allow you to write plain text below in the same message, the second enter will send the message

JIRA is largely bought as a top-down decision from management and forced upon teams that don’t really want it. Do you see Zepel as being a tool that would be bought bottom up? By that I mean, is it the type of thing you want engineering teams begging management for, or do you plan to sell top down?
> 1. If you don't care about MacOS, and want a different keyboard, please buy a Lenovo Carbon X1 and leave us happy Macbook Pro users in peace.

I would gladly get a Carbon X1 or an XPS 15 if my work didn't require me to use macOS (or better: if Apple didn't require me to use macOS to build iOS apps). Sadly I can't and so I'm too stuck with a 2018 MacBook Pro and its crappy keyboard

> 2. If your keyboard breaks, Apple will replace it free. The newer gen keyboards generally don't break.

Author's model is, like mine, quite new since it's the 2018 one. It still sucks and it still breaks.
Also, I don't want to wait N days for Apple to fix the keyboard.

> 3. If you really can't type on this keyboard and you really love MacOS, there are lots of decent thin Bluetooth keyboards. Microsoft has a great one. It's a small monetary sacrifice you'll need to make for sticking with MacOS. i.e. something we already do when we buy Macbook Pros ;)

My company has already shelled out a couple grands for this machine, suggesting to use a Bluetooth keyboard is offensive given the price point of this laptop and how cumbersome and uncomfortable using an external keyboard on a laptop is.

> I am getting tired of being sneered at for "clearly not understanding my own interests" because I like my Macbook Pro, have never had a keyboard issue, I LIKE TYPING on the keyboard, and would buy another one.

I'll be honest: I don't care how you use your MacBook and I'm ok if you don't care how other people use them. But with a machine at this price point, which is also labeled _Pro_, an issue like this after three product releases is completely unacceptable

That's fine for you to want it, but don't impose it on me.

The web isn't like that. Windows wasn't like that.

Today we live in a Fischer-Price future land where everybody has to wear gloves because we might get burned. I hate what we've become. I want to go back to the world before smartphones and Apple and app stores. The open web. Before Facebook and Google became big brother surveillance operations.
This is good stuff. Excel was (and in many ways still is) extremely well designed UI-wise (thanks for that).

In fact a lot of windows is (up to 7), and MS can be very good at UIs when they try. It's remarkable what an extraordinary amount of work went into making the interface usable without a mouse - for example, selecting something in the taskbar without a mouse:

Press ctrl-esc, press escape, press tab, then press the right arrow to move along the taskbar, the press return when you're on the one you want. It is actually logical too!
Evolution is simply not sufficient. Dr. David Gelertner, a CS professor from Yale, penned an essay in May that lays out the high level argument against Darwin/Evolution, including references to background material.

This looks nice and sleek, I hope it improved upon the pain points of Jira and builds upon new strengths.

The thing that kills me about Jira is the inconsistency I experience between projects. Everybody sets it up differently, and work based off entirely different views and contexts. It is exhausting and there's always too much friction. Maybe managers love it cause they got more time to waste on tools like Jira than us engineers, but if I have to spend more than 5 minutes figuring out how to progress forward my ticket, you've screwed up.

One really awful thing about Jira: If you create a state for a ticket, and then clone it for a new project, and then update the labels of those states, you're now screwing over the original project because all those states will be updated too.
The enforcement may not appear so aimless and fuzzy if they could be bothered to put more effort into the justification then a canned RTFM reply.

What if we as a community developed a new way of paying for open source software with micropayments, based on how widely it was actually installed and used?

What if this system would be self-enforcing because of a network effect, like the Brave Browser does kinda? It could be enforced with a browser extension or by mobile web browsers.

There was a time when cryptocurrency promised to do that just, with utility tokens before regulators made everything either act like a security token or nothing. Before it was discovered that Ethereum wasn’t going to be scalable enough for actual payments and tokens would just ever be for occasional transactions between exchanges and most tokens became instruments of speculative investment and day trading instead of actual medium of exchange for goods and services?

> "We are dividing into hostile tribes cheering against each other, fueled by emotion and a mutual disdain that jeopardizes our future, instead of rediscovering our common ground and finding solutions."

exactly: I read We to mean "US-citizens", not "humans". Divide and conquer, be divided and you might be conquered, therefore (internal) division is bad. As soon as some intergalactic threat shows up, the same rhetoric will be heard on a planetary level. "This is no time for internal division while the bugs are trying to wipe us out. You've seen what they did to Buenos Aires."

From the rate filings available from the CA DOI page[1], it appears they are being "fronted" by State National Insurance Co (recently acquired by Merkel[2]). "Fronting" is a new concept to me, but seems to be a special type of re-insurance[3].

Some open source projects are quite profitable. Bitcoin for example is an open source project.

There are also many people paid to work on open source. Projects like TypeScript or TensorFlow are good examples.

It just doesn’t work well to first write an open source library, give it away for free, and then later try to make money from it.

> You're making a whole lot of unfounded and unproven assumptions here!

The grandparent post makes no unfounded assumptions. It makes unproven ones for a strict definition of “proven”, but that's trivially true since no statements about physical reality can actually be proven, only statements about the relation of abstract concepts can be proven, and then only within a given system of axioms.

> For example: what if the current genetic diversity on Earth is the result of genetic engineering by ancient aliums?

That is indeed an example of an assumption that is not merely unproven but actually unfounded, but it's not an example of one made in the grandparent post so I don't know how it is relevant.

> The mechanisms of gene transfer are too complex for us to explain presently, including things like viruses, horizontal transfer, etc.

There are aspects that lack complete explanation, but that doesn't diminish the power of what we do understand (also, viruses and horizontal gene transfer aren't two things we can't explain, viruses are one of the main mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer.)

> You're assuming a simplistic darwinist model that we already know isn't true.

I see no evidence that that is the case; modern models are not simplistic Darwinism models of the type that involve only transfer by descent.

One issue I have is that I can't bullshit people. I had a friend who I was trying to explain things to, and often I made it too complicated. Another friend explained it to her satisfaction, but I thought the particular explanation given was deceiving. And yet she didn't care. I think it is possible to be honest and yet simplify things to whatever level, but I'd rather fail at explaining than give a false explanation.

They just said '2-3 weeks' to give themselves some cover at first I think. On the day of its announcement they said 2-3 weeks. When I actually registered to send mine in a week or two later, it said 5 days. And it took maybe 5 days (I wasn't really paying that much attention, I don't use my MBP all that often) from when fedex picked it up to when they dropped it off with the battery replaced. It was actually quite a pleasant experience all things considered. Only gripe I really had about it was that the support person I chatted with when registering my system for the repair requested I use the system to do multiple things (add a separate administrative user for them to use if necessary, log out of iCloud, deactivate system in iTunes, etc). When you tell me not to use a system at all because it is in danger of bursting into flames at any moment, I'm not a big fan of then being told to use it to prep for sending it in...
I worked for a company that used tons of open source software. The company itself never paid or contributed. Fortunately, individual developers on the team often built open source tools and contributed to other open source projects.

This issue of getting paid for the work you do hits home for me. I come from a writing background (before development), and the problem is very similar there. You're expected to write for free. For exposure. To better the community. But it sucks. People should be paid for the work they do.

Good luck on future experiments.
