One small note of caution there is that using managed k8s solutions has some consequences for flexibility of what you can do.

For one example, in most managed k8s setups, you can't change the admission controllers used on a cluster unless the cloud provider exposes this via an interface. Some cloud providers do more of this than others.

So with a minimal k8s managed option you might get stuck if your cloud provider doesn't support an admission controller or other API server option you need.
Cryptocurrency was invented to remove middlemen and counterparty risk. Centralized finance (lending/borrowing) is the opposite of what Bitcoin was invented for. Decentralized finance extends Bitcoins vision beyond the small subset of finance that is currency. One such open source project is uniswap. Disclaimer, I founded a cryptocurrency.

This.

To win over non tech people, there should be at least one "killer feature" out of the box.

In case of Google Chrome it was speed.

In case of Google search, it was quality of results.

In case of whatsapp, it was availability on all kinds of devices.

Etc..

Or enforced by organization etc.. that's different thing.
> So what facts did you glean from that comment?

That there is not a culture of following through on promises like these. That doesn't mean that they won't this time, but it also means that I shouldn't be surprised if they don't.

> You do realize that India is a Democracy and that there is no one "Indian Government" but successive Governments that set their own policies right

In systems like India (and my own country, Canada), we re-use the word government to mean two different things. One is the entity which controls the state, which is constant over elections, and the other is the group of people currently in charge, which frequently changes with elections. I was using the former usage.
Universities pay better in China, South Korea and Canada for professors to do research. I personally know people who moved out of United States after getting PhD and postdoc to those countries.
Or just peg social security collection age to life expectancy and reduce payments.

It's kind of insane that everyone knows millennials are worse off than their parents were, but are expected to pay the bills of the failed social security system. It's a dick move for boomers to collect full social security and act like they deserve it.
Taking grievances to social media immediately is generally wise because it is often the only way to solve an issue (sadly).

In addition it warns the other potential customers of the issue.
GitHub apps are hosted services, and I maintain a public instance on a server. I obviously wouldn't ban them, but it is in my right, and this has nothing to do with the license of the project.

I've meant to illustrate how abusive their attitude is towards their users by drawing a comparison and putting them in their customer's shoes.

Although for their users it's even worse, because they appear to be booting paying customers that have an expectation of service continuity, not users of a free service.
Reddit staff probably aren't sharing porn with each other all day, but their users are, and that's not an issue. If I were CEO of Facebook and a director was playing Farmville all day instead of working, I would fire them, but it wouldn't matter at all if users were doing the same thing. Reddit and Facebook are platforms, not publications. How their customers use their product to talk to others has no relation to how they might run themselves.

Additionally, it shouldn't be their job to nanny their users and judge what things they say are true or untrue and remove the untrue things, unless something's both untrue and likely to cause direct and imminent harm (like saying drinking bleach is proven to prevent COVID-19). Allowing third-party fact checkers to add commentary to consequential political posts is a reasonable and balanced compromise on Zuckerberg's part.

"Post-truth" is meaningless and completely subjective; impartial analysts should be able to address potentially true or false claims based on the evidence. "Post-truth" is "whatever you claim to be true and I claim to be not true". Truth isn't subjective, but judgment of truth is. One can cherry-pick cases where some surrogate says something clearly false and defends it with "we have a different view of what the facts are", but in the general case, having different views of the facts is the natural state of humanity and discourse.

I like Snopes, but I definitely do not want Zuckerberg to start acting like he's Snopes or enforcing what content can exist based on what Snopes says. I think (99.9% of) conspiracy theories are absurd and a scourge of society, but I don't think they should be classified as thoughtcrime or removed. I would fire an employee who was a zealous conspiracy theory proponent, but I would never sanction a user for being one, or for holding any other view I disagreed with or considered ridiculous. Snopes' voice should be given exposure but opposing voices shouldn't be kept from exposure unless there are extreme circumstances.

In my opinion, we should be asking ourselves how we could possibly improve the general public's epistemological faculties and approaches, rather than trying to tug-of-war-style yank their epistemological conclusions away from them. The former will help unite the US and the latter will continue to further divide it. Let's work at the meta level instead of the object level.

(have been a CTO/VPE/HoD for 20+ years, made many mistakes, am often wrong, now coach CTOs)

I think it depends on how many developers are there. I tell all coachees they should invest 50% of their time in developing their team. If you grow, don't hire team managers too late (or whatever you want to call them), or you'll get into burn out territory and you'll neglect developing people. Don't manage more than 5 people. As a CTO you should be the bridge between business and tech. Explain business to developers (marketing isn't stupid), explain tech to the CEO/CMO, support the CEO strategy with your specific tech knowledge. Spend time on explaining things and aligning people. You're the tech spokesperson and developer representative on the board.

If learned, although often being the best developer overall, with only a small percentage of development time I know much less about the architecture, domains and edge cases of an application compared to other developers. So I did drop developing in the end (but do it in my spare time to keep up with the state of the art).

Otherwise focus on the things that are fun to you, you're in for the long run which doesn't work if you don't enjoy the things you do.
It’s either China or Russia, take your pick.
The example was a real-world example I encountered the morning that I wrote the article. The article is 1500 words, I'd love to do a 5000 word version sometime with more in depth examples.

As for explosion of things, there's accidental complexity and necessary complexity. Complicated things are going to have complexity somewhere. The question is where to do put.

The article is arguing for balanced, carefully groomed tree of objects. In other comments I clarify I'm talking about attributes not methods or APIs. Flat APIs can be wonderful. Attributes are different story, since they are global variables that complicate every single method in the object past and future.
What?

In Soviet Russia people worked 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week, on average .

Because they were poor.

Poor people work a lot, in Scandinavia the average work week is 30 hours, plus 41 days of paid holidays/year, plus no less than 480 paid days for parental leave, because they are a rich country and can afford it.

Why people in US think that working a lot makes you rich, when the opposite is true?
>You'd think everyone would have learned from Elon Musk's example by now, surely?

How has it hurt Musk? If I was looking for justification, Musk and POTUS have pretty much laid the groundwork for spew whatever via Twitter does not hurt the brand. It only makes it more visible.
Google don't want knowledge of algorithms, Google want fluency in creating algorithms. As a lecturer you likely missed a lot of gems since college testing doesn't test peoples ability to create algorithms and instead mostly test their ability to apply known algorithms. A lot of people who are great at applying known algorithms actually suck at algorithms in practice.

This is another example of the US backsliding on what it has historically claimed as its competitive advantage: efficient markets, a lack of corruption, and rule of law.

For the people out there claiming that this development is an exclusively Republican project, I offer [1] as a counterexample. In the market right now there are widespread practices that would have been prosecuted a decade ago.

I think you’ve missed my point entirely: the jumping of electrons that makes photosynthesis “so efficient” (which it isn’t—as a recent post here mentioned, it’s tuned for stability) is not in defiance of the laws of physics, but entirely compatible with them.

Only density can attenuate nuclear radiation, that’s the fundamental physical intuition here (which is also absent from the article/video posted). Nothing “merely biological” is going to change that. Now, making use of some of the energy that is attenuated by the non-dense biological medium... thta’s entirely within the biological domain.
Yep, and loving every minute of it. I left a SWE career and am focused on growing ImpactUpgrade.com, where we solely serve nonprofits with all things digital and operations.

The article says there was a record high number of applicants. But of those selected, too may abandoned their applications.

Bailing on a move to the US because of an unchecked pandemic certainly makes sense. I don't think this really fuels the American decline narrative any more than the unchecked pandemic itself does.
No, the EULA spells out what a given company allows with their product. Between that and something that's legally enforceable there's a huge leap.

Basically, if you get Fortnite from the Play Store, you get Fortnite. If you get Fortnite outside the Play Store, you get the Epic Games Launcher, which installs Fortnite. The Epic Games Launcher on Windows was updated into the Epic Games Store, when they added support for third party titles.

So yes, Google put a kibosh on an OEM pre-installing a competing store, not just the game.
It's already nearly impossible to find jamón ibérico, much less de bellota, in even the expensive U.S. grocery stores.

My opinion on the matter is that RC was unfairly heavy handed. The cost (to everyone) of booting the individual out was greater than the cost of the RC buddy saying “hey, pay attention, these meetings are required; this is what you missed...” I don’t know the author’s disposition but I can imagine many personalities and circumstances where getting kicked out of this program would be devastating, emotionally or otherwise, especially if one planned for such a long “retreat” away from ordinary life.

When I asked my friends about the article, I was surprised to find opinions ranging from matching my own, to the opposite (“minimal tolerance for rule-breaking is justified in university environments to deal with unruly”). I never really investigated RC’s values and mission too deeply, but I always imagined they wanted to attract participants from truly diverse walks of life—intellectual, emotional, and economic. While it’s clear the author missed the 7am meeting because he goofed, I could imagine other individuals who would have missed because (for example) they have children and didn’t sleep, or they have depression and slept too much. It seems to me that zero-tolerance negatively affects such individuals, and pushes them out of programs like these.
If I quit my job to attend a programme only to get kicked back a whole batch on day 1, I don't think I'd want to continue.
So you didn't measure it. Worthless opinions as to me on my gaming pc chrome is most definitely slower. Both are opinions and worthless without numbers.

> And you have to replace that whole binary everywhere it is installed.

Not if your package manager supports binary diffs [1]. Which for many platforms is already the case, and other package managers would likely implement the feature if downloading large binaries becomes a problem. Right now, I’d however call it a premature optimization as the bandwidth of most people is dominated not by downloading updates but by streaming. But it is a solved problem since e.g. Fedora has supported package diffs for a decade.

Regarding the heartbleed, that is a valid and often repeated argument, but I think it is also overblown. One could e.g. have a static binary with embedded or bundled info about what library versions it was statically compiled with, and a way to automatically flag which binaries are thus vulnerable. Such a system would make it possible to push out new builds of high-priority targets like Firefox and Chromium without testing every other libssl-based app for compatibility first, thus cutting down on the response time for patching the most vulnerable apps. But the flagging would make it clear that the other apps need updating too. (Or in the case of automated builds, that the other apps need testing.)

I’m not saying that the whole OS should be statically linked, but for end-user apps I think it makes a lot of sense, and it’d remove a lot of friction where a library update can break a previously working app (that happens).

"labor force participation rate" and "40% of Americans" are certainly different things.
Believe it or not, there is a large, large space between acting socially responsible and wanting money for "an edgy leftist position."

So large. A gulf. Maybe you misread the question?

Out of morbid curiosity - who do you believe is funding the breakup of the nuclear family? Where are you getting this from?

And I'll bet you $10 that you are American - in no other country in the world is "tech companies want to dismantle the nuclear family" a somewhat common belief. Except maybe Saudi Arabia and some other "theocracies".
Your article specifically says that emissions would have risen faster without the carbon tax.

The article also clearly mentions that the ineffectiveness is caused by the fact that the carbon tax is too low.

Come on if you're going to link an article then don't pick one that is showing a different picture than your comment. All it showed is that governments refuse to implement effective policies, not that the concept of a carbon tax itself is flawed.
Interesting, so there are at least two occurrences now then. I must admit this is why I like self-hosting services.

Ghost seems to be trying to compete with WordPress, but if this is how they approach customer service and people talking about their service, I don't see businesses moving over.

A business' web presence is an important asset, I'd be reluctant to let a third party have control of this, but even moreso for someone that cuts users off from service for criticising the company.

Datastore-> Firestore (and firestore is a PITA because you can only have one per project even though when interacting with apis you pass in a database name. Go figure)

Remote build execution - deprecated. Our live systems went down because of it and they didn’t even send an email they were killing it. Some person just pressed the kill switch and even support was unaware.

Their gcloud stuff asks for upgrades all the time. Older gcloud sometimes breaks. Sometimes upgrading to newer gcloud breaks existing code that interfaces with it.

It’s not that bad, but yeah GCP doesn’t give a shit a bit backwards compat as the other players do.

You get the feeling, they don’t dogfood their own shit. Like their pricing calculator is unusable on iOS. It baffles me that their support says “there is a feedback button” but there is no feedback button. They seem to only care about chrome with their cloud.google.com interface.

It really makes me think “what were they thinking?”
You believe developers don't understand telemetry and leave it enabled because it helps development of the tools they use?

Mozilla's Epic Future, Post-Layoffs
I believe how thinking works has many parallels with how visual perception works, because they both use the same underlying hardware. Chunking and hierarchy are super primitive and very likely are abilities that permeate the brain.

Kurzweil (I know, I know) in his book How To Create A Mind writes about how we read:

For example, to recognize a written word there
might be several pattern recognizers for each
different letter stroke: diagonal, horizontal,
vertical or curved. The output of these recognizers
would feed into higher level pattern recognizers,
which look for the pattern of strokes which form
a letter. Finally a word-level recognizer uses the
output of the letter recognizers. All the while
signals feed both "forward" and "backward". For
example, if a letter is obscured, but the remaining
letters strongly indicate a certain word, the word-level
recognizer might suggest to the letter-recognizer which
letter to look for, and the letter-level would suggest
which strokes to look for. Kurzweil also discusses how
listening to speech requires similar hierarchical
pattern recognizers.

Everyone here is a developer. This is technical community and this post is here because OP is a dev. Ghost is 5 years behind anything that is relevant now not to mention it is extremely expensive for what it does. It's simply a free money printer for its owner.
Free/libre software generally refers to copyleft. Open Source was coined as a competing term, more friendly to tivoization and propiatary use (eg: selling a hw box with bsd/mit code parts as a commercial, closed solution). An extension of Source Available.

Free/libre software is defined around the "four freedoms" for end-users (run, study/change, (re)distribute verbatim, distribute modifications).

Open Source is more concerned with the rights connected to the source code, and does not quite see the end-user (who runs the binary) as the same as the developer (who modifies and compiles the source).

I think you are wrong there.
As a product designer one never caters to edge-cases.
Besides having 200+ tabs open is very impractical, the way Chrome minifies all the tabs instead of making them slidable is just one prime example where the designers chose not to cater to the extreme. Even with a tab-behaviour like Firefox's it is a very unmanageable situation.
Also note that one might encounter a tradeoff in system-design where you could choose a very memory/resource-efficient design over a very performant one.
You cannot always get both.

Unfortunately, because Google is "In" just because it delivers mind-numbing ease via Youtube etc., this very vocal minority, claiming technical expertise scew impressions for the general population.

Similar to absolute views like :They do not care...
I think they care, not about the particular problem, but the product and how it meets the requirements of a general audience swiftly and reliable.
So the problem crossed their desk, they triaged it and closed it because it is an extreme use case which will not meet general requirements.

The same goes for all the multitudinous problems in that area.
If anything the pandemic is an even better indicator of US decline.
