> Why not just leave them in place if you're burned out and see if anyone is willing to take over maintainership.

Because a proper hand-off is also a lot of work, which continues the burn-out and the chances of a new maintainer stepping in are slim-to-none (there were already attempts to find one after the last "actix unsafe discussion").

What is a "Mother"? Is it different from a "mother".

And I was a bit surprised by your conclusion - initially I thought you were going to argue that high-quality daycare, childcare, and maternity leave, are so valuable to society that they should be provided as a service by the government and/or guaranteed by law to be provided by employers.

The double edged sword of open-source: We can't cooperate with one another if we don't know how to behave and deal with other people. Emotion can never have the final say. Because emotion is raw, uncontrolled, knows no boundaries, doesn't know right from wrong. Especially if it is selfish emotion.

> Why even make a project open source if you don't want to consider patches? The whole idea is that even if you think a thing is boring, someone else may not and they'll do that work for the community.

This is a false dilemma - making a project open source can have plenty of motivations besides "I want to be a project manager for free!". Some other motivations:

* Someone may find this useful even if I don't ever touch it again.

* This could show others an example of a different way to solve a problem.

* This is cool, look what I did!

* Github is a free host, and there's no reason to keep this private.

* I just need some code I wrote in a public place for hiring managers to peruse.
For what it's worth, I think that was the premise of hybrid on-prem and multicloud. If you can trade-off availability in your stateless compute and worker layer and you're fine mostly managing it on prem, the cost savings could be very compelling. However, you'll still pay for bandwidth, which is the real killer and recurring expenditure. At the end of the day, there's no getting around that unless you move fully to your own metal, but then you'll likely realize costs related to maintaining your own metal that made you want to switch to the cloud in the first place. One way you might try to test this out is by using bare metal AWS instances -- if it's going on the right direction but you want more savings, you could move to using AWS Outposts with your on prem metal.

Just to make some conjecture here, I think that there's a difference between not liking the market's prices and thinking that the market is mispriced. Another commentator's point that the difference in bandwidth between AWS/Azure/GCP/OCI and DO/etc being a factor of 10x should give you an idea of some of the price discrimination going on.
That lawyer must be a very good friend indeed. It sounds like a lot of research to yield that kind of answer.

Who is it you think ought to be paying for childcare? It's clear who pays for wage labor. The employer pays for it, because they value it.

A key point for me in regarding big tech monopoly parts is that some of the biggest companies, when viewed from a potential market cap perspective, are possibly worth less than the sum of it's parts.

Facebook has a market-cap of ~630B. Individually you could easily see how an independent Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp would be worth more. AWS is probably the most valuable company in the world but is tucked away with the P&L of the various other parts of Amazon.
Perfect article for sexists to use to justify being sexist.
This is an obvious truth to anyone with children. Women have to carry, birth, and recover from having a baby plus raise/feed them in the first 1-2 years. There are so many biological factors here that objectively make women better primary caretakers for children, putting careers on hold because raising a child is harder than most careers, that anyone arguing it's sexism is flat out ignorant of the reality of raising a child. I hate that progressives/feminists try to paint child rearing as an inferior choice to a "proper" career when it is something women excel at, and should be embraced and encouraged.

Men and women can both program, sure, but only women can make people. Society simply reflects this.

Broadly speaking, measuring things good, measuring people sometimes good, sometimes very bad.

There are two things I would very much like to avoid. One, weaponized behavioral models that allow bad actors to cheaply, anonymously and pervasively manipulate people, groups and societies.

Two, having my life, or my children's life, become an exhausting and soulless rat race of conformance to the behavioral models deployed by various gatekeepers in society.

The point is that the Shuttle's TTL chips were more advanced as far as performance, using Fairchild's FAST line. The Shuttle also used many TTL chips that were more complex. This is consistent with the CIA's claim that American ICs were 8 to 9 years ahead. But it's interesting that the Shuttle was still using TTL, and many of the chips were very basic, like the quad NAND gate chip. So the difference between the two boards was surprisingly incremental, rather than a jump to MOS chips or microprocessors.
> it can prevent continued poor behavior which impacts others

I highly doubt that it would do anything to prevent that continued behavior. I cannot imagine a situation in which there is not a better and more appropriate solution to mitigating poor behavior that telling people "don't participate in this field". At best you will alienate them in such a manner that alternative approaches are less feasible and at worst you convert bad behavior from being passively to actively malicious. I'd be curious if you have a concrete example for when you think this approach has been beneficial in any context.

Note, I consider revoking credentials (e.g. disbarring an attorney or revoking a medical/engineering license) to be something entirely different as there is an active endorsement that needs to be terminated. Relevancy in this case would be to removing a package from a package/dependency listing service/manager.
I got a pair of this for Christmas and just recently put them in my ears for the first time having no idea they had noise cancellation built in. For a second I thought I broke my ears because everything was dead silent! I'm surprised how well the noise cancellation works, way better than the ancient Sony headphones I had.

Is there an objective way to measure this so someone would know it's getting worse? Seems like it would be really subjective if not.
That question asks what they do, not where they do it.
The only thing I can think of that could eventually offset profit per kWh is if their ADAS offerings get significantly better with a larger and more varied fleet.

In that case, trading lower profit per kWh on the initial sale for more cars/situations to train their models might be worthwhile, especially if better ADAS also encourages more people to purchase it when they buy the car or after.

Hey! Totally. I meant that Heroku is incredible for bootstrapping projects, but as time moves forward I usually find myself migrating services from Heroku to just run on AWS directly.

There's some friction with AWS (e.g. SSL termination) that Heroku makes incredibly easy, so I usually don't migrate until it's clear that a service is going to continue to exist in the medium term - otherwise the investment isn't worth it.

Didn't mean to imply that was a widespread sentiment, of course! Just my personal one.
Are games not already legitimized? I feel like with the rise of casual mobile games, almost everyone plays them now.

> Really, the only downside I see with them is that they can displace exercise and face-to-face communication -- I know games can be social, but you really just need time talking to other people with no distractions. But if you balance your life appropriately, why not?

My issue with video games is that playing them too much, especially when young, increases your dopamine tolerance too much. Many of them are designed to be addicting.

I have mostly stopped playing video games and feel mental well being has significantly improved.

Of course, that's not to say I think they should be banned or anything but in my humble opinion you are ignoring the significant downsides of playing video games. That being said, I have many fond memories and friendships created through video games too! Like most things there's good and bad.

>It's a systemic sexism that has deep roots in how we organize the aesthetics of our society

Or it's a systematic sexism that has deep roots in human biology and thousands of generations of sexually dimorphic specialization, and I can't believe we've successfully convinced multiple generations of westerners now to pretend that men and women are equally suited for all roles, including child rearing.

Now we need an article which takes an honest look at the possibility that gender imbalance in STEM (and other fields) is at least partly a result of similar specialization for cognitive tasks, where researchers like the author of the article are closer to extremes of an ability distribution. But I'm relieved to see a take that questions the tired, pervasive assumption that STEM is simply not welcoming to women because old white men are sexist.

Good for him to make a stand!

I can completely understand how he felt. Similar things happened to my open source projects, admittedly at a smaller scale. Users became so entitled to open source software and became hostile. Well, i nipped the problems at the bud by moving the projects off open source license. There were a few people crying foul and vowed not to use it. Fine. I respected their choices, and let's move our separate way.

There're requests to open source and hand the projects to someone else. No. I want to maintain control of the project development and direction, like directors wanting to maintain artistic control over their movies. If someone is so fired up, they can always write their own open source software.

Certs are not a qualification to hold a job titlez they simply show you passed an exam on a subject matter, they are for the job interviewer to let them know you know enough to pass that specific exam so thay they can inquire and focus on more complex/intricate technical questions about your skills and experience. They get a candidate an interview,not a job.

If you hire people simply because they hold certs,that's your screw up for not holding a more thorough technical interview.

They charge you for everything. Data transfer in: charge, data transfer out: charge, DNS lookup: charge, storing a file: charge, etc.

It's one of those situations where it's a death by a thousand cuts. When you're cost provisioning, you can figure out the big stuff, i.e., we need 25 EC2s m4a.2xlarge instances with 40TB of S3 storage, and a 2TB Aurora instance. But once you get the bill, you start seeing the costs of ELBs, NAT gateways, inter-region transfers, etc. Individually, these costs aren't significant, but in aggregate, they can make up a health chunk of your monthly bill.

Plus, their managed solutions are fucking expensive. We moved a self-managed ELK cluster to an AWS-managed one and the costs went up by a factor of two.

>Maternal Age seems like a boogie man story to scare women.

It's just a biological reality. It is certainly possible to have a healthy birth after the age of 35 but the rate of health problems and birth defects don't go up linearly with age. The rate of pregnancy loss is 35% after the age of 35 and is above 50% after the age of 45. This is just reality. If women want to have multiple children it is wise to start before age 33.
