It reminds me of way back in 2000 when the NDP Party of Canada (left wing) said "we need to tax the rich way more" and a reporter finally asks "what do you mean by rich?" and the NDP leader inferred "a family of four making more than $60,000".[1]

That turned some heads, especially among the labor unions who typically vote NDP and typically make more than that.

I largely agree. My company has dedicated CS, a second tier 'triage', and well...me. I always prefer if customers just email me directly. CS is a frustrating, cost saving measure. And often I'll get tickets, 3 weeks later, like 'customer said they have an issue.' What's the point again?
Two-dimensional programming languages like Funges are a fruitful ground for live coding, but I was unsure how to achieve that until Ocra [1] appeared. Funge-98 does support threaded execution (via `t`), but its threading model is cooperative and thus requires meticulous synchronization for most uses of live coding. For example, you can "park" each instruction pointer to some position until the next beat, but you can't really control time to next note from there because it would be proportional to the number of instructions executed (and you need noticable delay to show the IP's movement).

Orca cleverly avoided this issue by making every instruction running simultaneously. If I understood correctly, NoiseFunge seems to found another solution out: it queues notes to play by the next beat and moves on. As I'm not really a live coding person I can't see this approach is easier than Orca or not though. Anyway, an interesting attempt indeed.

SSL externally points to 123.45.67.8

Your internal DNS responds on 10.20.30.40

SSL very works fine as it validates Mail.mycorp.com, not the IP

This fails as DoH becomes more common and your dhcp server saying “use dns 10.1.1.1” is ignored, but then connections to your mail server fail too.

I'm one of those who tested positive for IgG antibodies in April. Same in June, August. These were Mount Sinai's quantitative research tests, with a high titer. I donated plasma twice. The only symptoms occurred in mid March. Then I got an Abbott qualitative IgG test earlier this month, because I was about to fly to Italy. Still positive. Once there, to end quarantine before the customary two weeks, I got two negative swabs and another Abbott test, but this time they also tested IgM (short term response), which quite surprisingly still came back positive. Since this was the first time it ever got checked, it's not clear if I was IgM positive for the entire six months or I got some exposure in August or early September that didn't result in symptoms or infection.

I don't know what this means or if I'm just a rare case, but my inkling is still to explain NYC's current rates with mask wearing and reduced indoor interactions. I guess we'll see in the next four to six weeks.

> If a company thinks an application is important enough to run 24x7 then it should staff for 24x7 support

And where it really matters, they do. My team and I build and manage a large Emergency Services telecommunication network. We have Tier 1/2 operators on shift work 24/7. Tier 3 staff (programmers, system integrators and administrators) are their escalation point for critical issues outside of business hours.

> Stealing wages from workers by expecting them to be available 24x7 (on-call)

The Tier 3's that are on-call in our environment are on a rotating roster are compensated nicely for being prepared to answer the phone outside business hours. Frequently they don't get called during their week at all and it's free money.

> how is a dev's development ability when they were up at 2:30am on an incident call the night before?

Easy, as well as the financial compensation, we give them time in lieu. Two hours callout in the middle of the night, two (paid) hours given back on their next working day, or whenever they prefer, subject to availability of other staff.

There are simple solutions to these problems, and where they matter, they are applied. Granted things are very black and white for us as lives are potentially at stake, but any company that wants to have 24/7 engineers available needs to pay for that kind of support.

Adding to the above 100/% spot on comment; "we" in finance/banking do this because segregation of duties is mandatory, none of that DevOps nonsense ;)

In the off chance that a dev has the unique knowledge to solve a problem, they may get the firefighter/temporary elevated access needed, but will have to document the reason and the dev's actions very very well, because both internal and external auditors will zero in on that.

I think you kind of answer your own question here, Latex/PDF handles all of the things you mentioned with relative ease, with the only drawback being that PDF's can be hard to parse automaticly. However that point seems moot as well since it's fairly easy to share datasets and actual results separately.

Inventing new systems to replace latex/pdf and ftp (for sharing datasets) would introduce significant overhead without providing any tangible benefits.

So the big question in my mind is why should you move away from latex/pdf?

Given that the accept is our default just send off the accepted token = ok and don't wait for the response.

Send array of opting out info and then wait for all responses are ok so you can tell the user that it worked to opt out, the user must see opting out worked! response before going on to next step, because for GDPR reasons we need to tell the if there is a problem so they can try again!

Kind of a funny title. It was "mainline Linux", but he had to write and/or fix several kernel modules and use a couple of "hacky" workarounds. The post is really more about modifying Linux to work on the device.

Kudos to him though, it looks like it would be a popular device if it becomes easier to get Linux running well on it.

I don't think that consolidation is inevitable at all, Americans are increasingly disillusioned with big business and there is a slowly growing anti-corporate sentiment being expressed (albeit opportunistically) by politicians as varied as Liz Warren, Ron Wyden, Marco Rubio and Trump.

Various places I've worked put certain people on-call. They were salaried but somehow paid extra for the time they were on-call. It seemed to be voluntary and the people who did it liked the extra cash.

On the other hand I had a friend at a very large and well known company. He got a job offer and was hired into one department, but he wanted to take a little time off between jobs before he started. They somehow convinced him to start saying there was a holiday coming up and he could take the time off then.

and as soon as he came in he started getting calls 1am 2am 3am etc...

so he left.

And they cajoled him back saying things were different and he finally bought it and went back.

same thing happened again, and he quit for a final time.

One part of the problem was that he was a US citizen working with a bunch of H1B visa folks and the company could get away with that sort of stuff. H1B folks will say yes sir, no sir because their dreams of living in the US are tied to keeping their job at all costs. and then the bad work culture festers.
A Picture of Java in 2020
I'm curious, why can't people that created the system take part in production support. You've mentioned finance, that I presume require high level of security, but at the same time there are also people on the other side, just not knowing the system first hand and perhaps having skills different from knowing how to debug software

They can, they just can’t have direct access to live systems due to separation of duties. But there are methods for dealing with this, like centralised logging so a developer never needs to see the original log file on the problematic box.
Part of it probably stems from that it's always been done this way, and the processes haven't evolved over time. Another part is also to protect the bank against rogue employees, it wouldn't be the first time a developer made changes against a production database.

You're right that production support has access to those systems, and could potentially make changes and install different binaries, but the amount of people that can do that is extremely limited. Every change also requires a change request that needs several approvals, to request data you need another data request.

It was also interesting from a design perspective; the various parts of the game were all separate executables and I never did figure out how they all interacted (though clearly some people did, as evidenced by the excellent XComUtil which has proved difficult to track down lately!)
I reckon most people who wrote extensions would be happy for Google to keep the $25 and instead refund the time they spent writing the extension.

That was my initial thoughts too.

Basically show the subtitles as it's going along (last 10-20 seconds), and allow a user to copy/paste text or instantly grab sentences.
or lowers the cost because at least some ethics are the luxury of the well-off. (sure, worrying about feeding family might not lead you to kill someone but it might let you make it difficult for users to opt out of privacy invasion)
It was previously common in Australia for the government to form independent 'single desks' that would have a monopoly on buying or selling a particular agricultural commodity with the intention that this would provide better prices for farmers on average over time. (you could still buy potatoes at the supermarket, but you were not allowed to sell a ship of potatoes)

Of course if the single desk is paying you the farmer, better than market prices during a glut, when the market picks up, the single desk is going to have to pay down it's debt and (and Saddam Hussein) before it pays you. This is one of many scenarios under which a bear market socialist might feel a longing for the free market stirring in their soul, and the potato act is the big stick that kept farmers from cutting their own deals.

It is probably a great way to coast, so I hear.

Or to stagnate, depending on how you look at it
It’s usually a case if taking responsibility for things you have no power over.

When they ask it’s usually after a giant hole has been dug, and patterns have been set. If you knew from the outset that you would be the support team then you’d have prioritized some other tickets. You’d have increased the estimates on others. You would have refused to work on these three, you would have argued vigorously about these four decisions, and you would insisted your boss fire “That Guy” months ago because his code is garbage and his only real skill is articulate deflection.

This group of folks wants several somethings for nothing. One of them is labor, another is somewhere to assign blame. They are grooming you for failure and we all deserve better.
Fortunately, I'm not. But due to the nature of messengers, I likely would if Signal became popular.

If you don't want others to use a client of their choice for some (real or imagined) security benefits, that's between you and them. I think most people will think your priorities are silly.

There were supposed to be spikes after spring break, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, back to school, the Sturgis bike rally. There were a blip...if that.

Rather than biting our nails at daily numbers it's time to allow for individual choice and remove the government restrictions. It's clear that the virus is not nearly as potent as people think and we're prolonging this due to fear and politics - not science or numbers.

I loved, loved X-COM. It had an ability to capture imagination in a way that few turn based strategy games do. The randomly generated soldier names still loom large as heroes in my mind. I was affected when they were killed in action.

> But there are methods for dealing with this, like centralised logging so a developer never needs to see the original log file on the problematic box.

Indeed, most of our newer services have been doing that, so developers have direct access to logs, which makes our lives a bit easier.

But sadly a lot of systems our outdated, and nobody wants to invest time and money into implementing things there.

Namely what stood out,

> Among Americans with the highest incomes – a subset of upper income adults who are in the top 7% of the sample’s adjusted income distribution – about a third (34%) of those who say there’s too much economic inequality say the government should raise taxes on people like them to deal with this, while 64% say this should not be done.

This surprised me. So I'm curious, for those who are making in the top 7% and believe there is too much income inequality (over about ~$145,000/yr) -- and I do suspect there are a few of us here, you don't think that a plan to reduce income inequality involves taxation on that level of income?
IIRC the game just wrote a plain data file onto disk and the next executable read it up with all the needed info.
What kinds of systems did you have in mind, then? It's hard to see how a CEO could keep personal tabs on all the bank's activities without automated surveillance - it's not like she can individually review every deal the bank makes.
The major issue is HTML has no way for you to share chunks of HTML between pages e.g. a header or footer, so you'll have to copy/paste chunks manually (unlike with CSS, images and JavaScript though which you can embed on multiple pages).

I can recommend Hugo if all you need is the above (and more). It's a single binary to install/run, runs super fast and you only need to learn a couple of template tags for the above.

I'm not keen on Gatsby or Jekyll because they're an order of magnitude slower as far as I know and require you to have a pile of Node and Ruby (respectively) dependencies set up which is an extra headache and stuff that can break.

Every now and then my site that uses Jekyll will break when I push to Netlify because something changed somewhere and it's a massive drag (I know proper containerisation would solve this but this is extra work and expertise required). Hugo is really simple in contrast because you don't have any dependencies to isolate or require a complex build script.
You're mixing up different points in time.

Normally restaurants provide food for customer money, and that is fine.

The suggestion is that if they get bailout money while not providing food then there is an unmet need for them to "give back".
There’s email chains that came out showing that they knew the bar numbers were low and buried them. Then lied about it when asked.

Whether you think it was the correct choice or not is politics. It was not data driven nor supported by any actual exposure data that they collected, they knew that was the case, and tried to cover it up.
Average users just don’t “do” extensions. People typically don’t mod their software. I’ve learnt this over the years. Any sort of extension, “power toy” or customization is always going to be a niche, in the great scheme of things.

> Is there some big cost to this I’m not seeing

If I had to guess, I would imagine at some point someone had to revamp the payment backend for the store (because “software is never done” and people have to get promoted somehow), and reimplementing the gateway to extensions was deemed too much of a hassle.
Let’s be real here, the only thing these banks would do is impose more draconian KYC/AML on customers to cover their ass. Whatever it takes to tick that box.
Seems like we were writing in parallel.

"We don't trust" a dev. The change management processes demand the existence of 1) Dev, 2) Librarian (we used to call them that)(that would review and transfer the code, or review and compile the code), 3) the prod sys admin.

Some orgs may have a slightly different setup, but in some form or another, but (these general) rules apply.

Today with tools like CyberArk it is easier to grant temporarily privileged access to a dev for production support, we also got the tools to trace/monitor/record access, so it makes the process auditor-friendly.
I've been using Hover for 7 or so years by now and have had no issues; I've always been able to do whatever I need to do at a registrar easily, cleanly and quickly. I also use it as my main domain search (both logged in and logged out) and have never had any issues of a domain being snatched after I searched for it.

While I'm at it, here are some more anecdotes. I started on casual web dev in the late 90s and started with Network Solutions because that was the only registrar for a .com back in the days. They were OK at first, but after registrars opened up it was apparent they wanted to maintain being the most expensive option. By early 2010s I moved my main domains away and ran into a lot of difficulties moving; they make you jump through enough hoops I'm guessing in hopes you'd give up. It was not a good experience.

In the early 2000s when registrars first started opening up I also had a couple of domains on Joker. They were cheap and kind of ok but for many years their site was consistently very slow. Eventually I also started having a lot of account issues there. In the end I stopped using them by virtue of me stopping work on the sites using the domains I registered at Joker.

One of my startups in the 2010s, my cofounder used domain.com as a registrar. It was not good. We would have tons of issues with any sort of DNS or nameserver config, things wouldn't work or propagate correctly, and so on. I don't have a take on whether they are trustworthy or not, but there were just tons of technical issues.

I've also briefly used Gandi once for a specific TLD my startup needed to use, and in my limited experience there wasn't any issues.
An ox is forcibly neutered, then forced, often with a torturing device (whips, nose rings etc), to toil in the burning sun for days. Untill his joints give up, and he is killed.

I know I'm excaggerating. But it annoys me to no end that we came to think this is 'a happy life' in any remote sense. An ox, to me, is on the furthest part of the spectrum of forced labor.

I found Harari's Book 'Sapien' very enlightening on the parts about the history of human abuse to animals. Oxen get a honorary mention.

> Don't expose SSH to the entire internet [...]

Yes, and that's what tools like tcp wrapper (or iptables) are there for. I use it to disallow whole networks from Brazil, China, etc so they don't even reach sshd to talk to it. Less log clutter, less to do for fail2ban if installed.
The 2011 situation you linked to, domain tasting, wasn’t the registrar reserving a domain (like someone claimed occurred last week). Domain tasting was when an actual end customer reserved the domain, tested how much traffic it received, and let it expire without paying if it wouldn’t make them money. There was still an explicit purchase from a customer, the customer just didn’t actually pay.

This obviously harmed the ecosystem and I’m sure not advocating for it (nor recommending Godaddy), but it’s not an example of a registrar front-running real customers.
It would be interesting to see a multi-tenant social network: you start a network for your family/household/whatever as easily as if you were signing up to Facebook or whatever, and then you connect to friends by sending a request to them at their instance. Mastodon/pixelfed may be like 90% already: just need to come up with a good ux for automated deployments and a way to monetize it
Exactly my point, thanks for clarifying.
