Yes, but I think trying to map out indirect violence gets into very dangerous territory. So, that's why I draw the line at "directly" advocating violence.

Of course, the lines as always get blurry. To use a random example that comes to mind, when Kathy Griffin posted the severed head of Trump - was that a direct call to violence? That's a tough one to answer. My first intuition is that it does cross the line, but I could very easily see an argument that it's not.

So unfortunately there will always be that difficulty, unless we committed to an absolutist position of not removing ANY speech. I drink a lot of the kool-aid, and even I don't go that far.
The closer to the source the reference it would generally have a less chance of suffering from the "game of telephone" which most history suffers from...
I bought a dell gaming monitor from best buy. It had like 12 stuck pixels. Dell overnighted me a replacement with a return label.

I'm a macbook fanboy but holy hell that is some GREAT service from dell.
It's not a terminal thing. Work for a FANG for ~10 years then retire early. But over those 10 years, hustle hard and save what you can.
I love the Touch Bar. I have almost never used the F# keys in macOS apps, in a whole decade now.
maybe the conditions vary from one warehouse to another, but the fact remains that Amazon smeared and retaliated against whistleblowers at warehouses with terrible conditions
I have been using Caddy v1 for more than a year now as a web server for some of my production sites. I'm really happy with the simplicity of it and especially out of the box SSL support with LetsEncrypt. I believe with v2 I will be moving more of my sites to Caddy. Thank you for all the hard work :)

Fox was the one to confirm this: https://twitter.com/johnrobertsFox/status/125657685892307353...

Yes Fox and more so The Daily Caller are right leaning, but you're attacking the source not the substance.

China runs hard labor camps, they're not on the same level of trust of even the most right-wing/liberal media sources.

It seems like a very confident report, citing an exact 17 agencies. I'm sure you'll see confirmation soon.

Funny that anonymous sources are attacked when it's a "right-wing" journalist.

Read up on John Roberts and see if you trust him based on his previous reporting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Roberts_(journalist)

Remember to do this for all news sources! Pay attention to their sources, follow-up when they are anonymous.
Sitting in front of my beloved 2013 MBP 15". Reading "the new inverted T-arrangement for arrow keys". Looking down at my keyboard. Seeing said inverted T-arrangement on my seven year old MBP.

Deception and lies.
Which unfortunately means the most productive and creative years of their lives are spent piddling about in libraries. Woohoo.
not sure, but maybe they mean apologetic in the sense of being an apologist?
> finish that one thing on Friday before the weekend starts

Sometimes you might fix that one bug that would haunt you over the weekend otherwise, I grant you that. More often than that, feeling that one has to enable oneself to finish stuff at the end of the week leads to fewer plans on Friday nights, too little socializing outside of work, less restful weekends. And those kill productivity and company culture in the medium term.

In the short term I have seen my share of lost productivity because people feel like deploying hardly thought through changes (if only to internal system) on Friday afternoons to get it done that week.
It probably can, although some tinkering is involved.

Of course it is. You just are arguing that morals need to allow for doing shitty things for great things in the end. Not very new of an idea...
I fundamentally don't know if you are spouting well know misinformation or simply telling a slightly different truth.

It doesn't take 30 minutes of research to realize when someone is making shifty claims without giving any sources and using said dubious claims to conclude a non-sequitur about "political correctness".
Some parameters might have one or two more words to type, but the growth in flexibility is enormous, and we felt it was worth the tradeoff. You can see a comparison here: https://caddyserver.com/docs/v2-upgrade#caddyfile

We also think slightly more verbosity in the v2 Caddyfile is actually a good thing. Aside from more flexibility, it makes it a little clearer what's going on, and concerns are better separated.

For example, the reverse proxy is no longer in the business of rewriting requests: there are other directives for that.

In fact, we completely got rid of "rewrite hacks" that involved appending path components to the URI so they could be routed, then needing to strip those before proxying.

Request matching is very powerful in Caddy 2: you can still easily match on paths in-line with your handler directives, but you can also match on any other part of the request (client IP, query string, regular expressions, etc) with an intuitive @-block syntax: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/matchers

Anyway, I think you'll feel right at home with it after a while. I've been using it for months now and it's so simple overall.

(I also use the JSON config directly on a couple of my servers, where the behavior I need to express is way more elegant and concise than in the Caddyfile.)
They actually weren't "grading" per say. They were answering questions like "Have you seen anything else like this?" and rating teams with multiple choice answers like "This is one of the best teams I've seen." So, they kind of know how a company did, but it's not like they were looking at their own scores at the end.
It has a lot of citations, but most (all?) of the citations are not in peer review articles and don't have a randomized control group. Without a minimal level of quality control they have the same than a blog post. It is not a humble cure, it is just a speculation.

I personally use Vi and so do others I hear from (as in HN) but other than that it would probably never come up as an issue. For the record, you can remap Caps lock to Esc which is as good, if not better than escape. I use this on my iPad and other keyboards as well (even with the esc key)

Yes, they'd been in windows for a couple weeks before that in the UK. It's a nice thing for kids to make, with the original aim of being something to spot when being taken on walks. Kids like drawing rainbows, they get to use all the colours in the box. Loads of the rainbow pictures have extra messages written on them. NHS support messages are most common. Hence why they are partly associated to the NHS

People can do nice things, you don't need to attach conspiracy theories to them.

I haven't actually heard of Narration Box before now, but it looks fantastic!

I'm also a huge fan of Sourcegraph (@sqs if you're reading this!) -- which has really helped Caddy get to this point.
I don't get why power users shouldn't be afforded the power of graphical file management. The command line is not an adequate substitute for quickly navigating and managing the filesystem to me.

It's not necessarily being spread within the plants themselves - I've seen claims that due to poor pay etc, a lot of the work is done by immigrants crammed multiple people to a room in shared housing, and we know from Singapore that's a really effective way of creating a major coronavirus outbreak.
Tweak based on feedback is exactly right!

Only problem is that VCs normally don't give any!
So where are the savings? Certainly not passed down to the customer.

Plus, Apple is not known for hardware cost-savings as being a primary factor in their key decisions.

Have you gotten the same kind of feedback on writing your native language?

It may be that some of the tips you were getting, are just good communication advice, and not specific to just English.

In other words, getting lots of corrections is a very good thing! It's probably the fastest way to become a much better writer in any language!
Wow:

While I waited I wrote my will and made an Advanced Directive. There was a question where you could specify what you’d want to happen to your body after you died. I never thought I’d care about such a thing—why would I? I’d be dead anyway. But when I really imagined it, I did care. I wanted to be buried in a Jewish cemetery, somewhere nearby so the people who cared about me could visit. I didn’t want to be forgotten.

But… none of that happened because the tumor shrank with chemo, and I went into remission. Then I fretted about finding a match on the bone marrow registry, but there she was—my little German angel. Then I worried she’d change her mind, or that the stem cells would get lost in transit (she donated her cells in Germany before they were couriered to Los Angeles).

I worried when I was admitted to the hospital while I got total body irradiation and high dose chemotherapy to eradicate my immune system and prepare me for transplant. I worried right up until I saw with my own eyes the bag of cells hanging off the IV pole as they were infused into my body. Now, I only had to wait and see if the cells took, or if a I developed a life-threatening infection, or if I got graft versus host disease, when the donor’s cells attack your own body, which can have serious consequences.

But… none of that happened, either. Sure, I felt like shit in the hospital, but I didn’t have any major complications and after a month I got to go home. I worried about infection but I didn’t get one. I wasn’t supposed to eat takeout but one day I was craving pizza so my mom and I ordered delivery and I ate the pizza and nothing bad happened (we did have to hide the pizza box evidence from my husband because he had an eagle eye on me to make sure I followed all the rules, which I found adorable. I’ve never seen someone use so much Purell in their life).
It's literally 300 years after the event. Would another hundred years or so make a huge difference?

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you have had a good experience with it.

That blog post is pretty old. We do have a current upgrade guide here in our docs: https://caddyserver.com/docs/v2-upgrade

We also have a (sort of deprecated) wiki with some (slightly outdated) high-level improvements listed: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/wiki/v2:-Improvements
Why is it embarrassing? This is really a problem which employers must deal with.

I think what Tim Bray did is heroic, I think that Amazon exploited workers way too much, all in the name of thinner overheads and lowering prices, which is the only thing their customers care about.

Tim Bray's resignation won't change things, but if we decide that Amazon's unfair and refuse to patronize them because of their employee treatment, then perhaps there will be change. However, I think there are enough people living paycheck to paycheck where that is a secondary consideration after price, and Amazon does have good prices on many things.

I, for one, will be curtailing my use of Amazon. I only used them sporadically anyway, preferring to support others, but still liked the convenience of Prime for some products. For work, I spend six figures a month with AWS, but there's no employee mistreatment there that I'm aware of.
Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze.

> So how did they manage to get rid of those hidden costs? Or is the new S3 compatible API more expensive?

The new S3 compatible APIs are the same cost as the original native B2 APIs.

I'm the author of that original blog post, and we were able to get rid of SOME of the internal costs, but in the end we ate the cost of the load balancer. Internally I voted that we externalize that cost, but it's in the spirit of our "no-sales-friction" pricing model to get rid of decision points for customers and just let them get their stuff done.

The internal math is that we believe the additional storage that (hopefully) will result from supporting the S3 API will help make up the cost of the upload balancers. It eats into our margin, but not by enough to justify a "friction pain point" that might reduce sales as customers struggle to decide which API to use. When you do the math over thousands of customers, we make the vast majority of money simply from renting the storage. Many many many customers upload things to Backblaze, and let them sit for long enough, that the cost of the load balancers becomes pretty small as a percentage.

One of our goals of the pricing of Backblaze Personal Backup (flat fee of $6/month regardless of how much data you backup) and not charging much for transactions is we aren't trying to nickle and dime customers. We just want to make our margin and provide a solid service that makes customers happy.
>We should be less "inclusive" of people who want to rewrite everything. They should feel like impostors. You can't produce good quality if you're not willing to call out bad quality; Linux succeeded (for a time) because Torvalds had high standards and was willing to maintain them.

I'm making a humble request, please do not bring this attitude in open source projects. Really I mean it. It's not helpful and it only makes people angry. You are also misinterpreting the behavior of Mr. Torvalds and confusing things. The kernel developers have actually been some of the most adamant about rewriting major parts of the kernel and breaking internal APIs over and over again (not syscalls) because it's known that the only way to thoroughly improve on the code is to aggressively iterate on it like this. This is actually a major strength of open source: anyone who wants to try to rewrite something can pick up the code and just do it. If it's bad then you throw it away and forget about. If it's good then you keep it. This is precisely how the "high standard" even gets maintained.
I migrated a client from Cloudinary($1k+ /mo) to B2, a Go+ImageMagick program running in DigitalOcean and Cloudflare CDN for a total of $60 /mo. It’s been running for two years now, B2 has been incredibly reliable.
I would strongly recommend not doing this. The worst thing you can do when creating a piece of software is isolate yourself for x number of months and build it out entirely in isolation. I've effectively done this in the past, only to find out the product I built was not something people wanted to use.

If it's just for personal use, and/or you don't care about people using it, go for it. But if you care about adoption/traction, I would suggest surrounding yourself with people that may use your software, and constantly solicit their candid feedback (e.g. show them the software, but not tell them it's yours, etc...). Building software should be a collaborative process between you and your customer.
A bit tricky when I have Caps Lock remapped to Control, like any self-respecting emacs user!
How often do developers recompile postgresql? How often do developers go through the hassle of upgrading databases versions? Whatever postgresql may have done recently, it won't be used and available in the common distro until a while later.

Bear in mind that minor versions in postgresql are breaking changes. It does not follow semver.
We don't have all that many spare transformers sitting around, waiting to be used when one fails. And they aren't all that fast to build. If we lose a number of transformers, it may be a while before some of them are replaced.
Matt's already spoken to the ads/telemetry (which are ancient history).

My experience as a contributor has been nothing but positive. But if anyone's had a bad experience, I'm sure the Caddy team is more than willing to talk it out and reconcile.
Thank you for taking the time to break this down!

Your description and summary blocks have started me wondering... has there been much work done on converting APL statements to more verbose explanations?

The sigil-to-meaning mapping is likely automatic for seasoned APL programmers but it might make such one liners more effective for evangelist purposes by making them somewhat more self-documenting.
Once you venture out of ASCII, you will find that string comparisons are hard.

You'll need to get things into the right encoding (as the article states, UTF-16 is alive and well in some places, and there are two forms of that), and you'll probably need to do unicode normalization for some languages, because not every system will do that the same. But, normalization rules change over time, so you'll need to include the normalization used with the password processing code and storage.

As a note (I think you're aware, but others might not be): that was the release candidate, this is the final release.

Most importantly: some people back then reported performance issues on OS X. Inkscape stated that that was a blocker for release, so presumably that's fixed now: https://mastodon.art/@inkscape/103993588384088165
By definition, so are the incidents that are reported by NYTimes. Amazon has hundreds of fulfillment centers around the world, and it's possible that the sufferings of some workers are exceptions, not the norm.
Absolutely, but it is hard to decipher if it is even worth arguing at all. Would you argue against the crowd opposing automobiles? I mean, there are plenty of valid arguments against them but at the same time what good does it do to fight about it?

It is, because it's being used as ideological cover for under-funding the NHS, when we should be calling out all the Tories, and their money laundering and tax dodging mates.

The UK media is owned by the very rich. They don't want to pay for the NHS, they want you to clap, and no more.

I have nothing against this post, generating a rainbow, no problem. My reply is about the general UK scene of clapping but not funding the NHS.
Well, I can manage a system running hundreds or thousands of heterogeneous stateless nodes consistently from an image essentially simply managed "by hand" (maybe with judicious help from things like package auto-updates). Otherwise I could add something like Ansible with its configuration -- probably rather larger -- similarly managed by hand. Obviously the latter increases complexity and scope for problems; observationally it also decreases reliability and availability.

Substantial experience says the simple way is the best to manage HPC systems, in particular, and it generalizes, like to managing teaching "clusters" with few resources[1]. There are minimal trades-off from just using things you already know -- package management, revision control, and initrd/pivot_root -- against using tools which are distinctly non-trivial, but make you look good for solving the extra problems and justify more manpower. I've used a cluster-building system from a maintainer and contributors with Ansible expertise and been unpleasantly surprised, if not as much as by several cluster vendors' products.

Of course you automate things like monitoring, alerts, and some problem mitigation, for which simple configuration management frees effort. Accidental and essential complexity, someone once talked about.

The money goes to charities associated with the NHS, not the NHS itself. This isn't a subtle difference, it completely torpedoes everything in your comment.
I live near that plant. It got shut down 10 years ago after the financial meltdown. Now its a Tesla plant.
> This is maybe a radical argument, but I make it in good faith; if your business can only exist by paying workers at or below poverty wages, and/or enacting dehumanizing controls, it probably shouldn't exist.

The problem is that once you close the business and fire the underpaid employees, they don't disappear. Now they're unemployed and make $0/hour.

This blind spot fascinates me. The best explanation I've seen is "The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics". It says that "when you observe or interact with a problem in any way, you can be blamed for it".

So in this scenario, once you've fired your employees, you are no longer connected to them, and their further destiny is not your fault.

I suspect this is a deep part of our moral instincts, and we have to be aware of it to get to a more rational approach.

I've been having the same issue. One thing I noticed that helps is to at least make sure work is done on a different laptop that gets shutdown and put away after 5 PM.
You mentioned the volume/brightness sliders as being imprecise. I don’t have a MBP, but I noticed that touchscreen sliders are really difficult to use accurately. Whenever I slide to a value I wanted, lifting my finger inevitably moves the slider over just a little bit selecting an adjacent value (just by virtue of my finger not being lifted straight up). Is this the issue?

"Perhaps these rules are in place because the people creating the rules know that rank and file have no bargaining power and cannot advocate for a less draconian system without fear of termination."

If that was the case, the same would have happened at the previous large corporations.
These cold terms are how these discussions are had in industry. It's the core behind value based pricing - quality adjusted life years or QALYs are what many health systems use to determine what they will or wont pay for. As long as money is scarce, these are how conversations are had. A drug that saves a child's life is worth more, and people are willing to pay more, than a drug that saves an older person's life. There are cutoffs and thresholds. In the UK, with a few exceptions, a drug cant cost much more than 30 thousand pounds for each extra quality adjusted year of life (e.g. an extra year bedridden might only count as 30% of a year, while an extra year closer to functional might count as 95%) for NICE to approve paying for it. In the developing world, the value of a human life is set at about 2x GDP per capita per QALY. In the US, for a drug to be cost effective, it should be less than 150,000 dollars per QALY (but many drugs aren't).
Thanks for the response! Looking forward to upgrade my stuff. Is there a reason why you decided to introduce an entirely new configuration method via JSON?
