There are indeed theories about a secret organisation plotting to take over the world, and if we were rigourous that's the only time we should be talking about "conspiracy theory". This is clearly not what people are doing. The "protocol of the elder of zion" conspiracy theory is this kind of example, but there aren't a lot of them.

However, even with this definition it is still not clear-cut. If you were to say in the cold war that some US secret services were financing authoritarian regimes in south america to fight communism (or islamic extremists in afghanistan), this could easily qualify as a conspiracy theory today. Until you get the evidence that it is true.

At the moment, it looks to me like the only purpose of this label is to prevent people from trying to investigate into it. It's a concept that prevents you from thinking rather than helps you think better.
EPITA seems to be a "Grande École" according to wikipedia [1].

It's obviously not as selective as Polytechnique and their curriculum is more applied and less theoretical than other "traditional" schools, but maybe it's for the best.

I've consistently heard good things about people who graduated from that school. Actually, in my company, one of the most productive engineer is an EPITA graduate, and we do have a lot of employees coming from much more elitist schools (including ENS and X).

I have used Gentoo since 2000, takes too long now, I am too busy... Debian does not have the audio stuffs I need, and getting caught in compile dependency circles was bad. For some reason, even the maintainers and the audio software group could not get the package working on Debian. I had to back off and go to Mint.

I suppose this sounds like a counter argument to me wanting control... but I will admit I am in a special situation in that I want more control, but I use very specialized software that has issues with old or very bleeding edge distros.

You've been a part of the landscape for so long now that we can excuse the evangelism ;).

Myself, I've been using Beeminder many years ago for a while. It significantly contributed to my stress and misery back then, as I lost money to it in a crucial time where I didn't have much of it, and my goals were very much related to improving my financial situation :). But that's not counter-evangelism! To this day, I consider Beeminder valuable and I recommend it to people - just with a bit of hard-won caution: double-check your mental state before you engage such a strong commitment device. Derailing needs to hurt, but if you're on a verge of spinning down into a dark place, it may tip you over.

Also: I love the "yellow brick road" chart, it's clean and junk free. A commendable example of good dataviz.
I’m nothing like you. I hate emails, no matter if it is work or my personal life. I don’t like to check, manage and reply to them. I feel anxious when people send them to me. In a team setting I would also hate that the sender, not the recipient decides what they want to read.

At the same time I love endless chats (within proper channels). They don’t distract me from my work. I don’t participate when I need to focus and other than that, well the communication is also my work, just as important as writing code.

As to your community question, how about a subreddit?

> Intel tried to be brave with Itanium

Intel tried to be brave with the 432.

And failed.

The 8086 was rushed as a stopgap. It was never intended as a serious design.

Intel tried to be a little brave with the 286.

And failed.

Intel tried to be brave with the i860.

And failed.

Intel tried to be brave with Itanium.

And failed.

In the meantime Intel have made countless of billions with souped up 8086s. And we're stuck with them. Or were.
I'm not sure what your point is, as that's literally impossible for someone to do on an Apple device.

At least with Android, it is possible and does happen. The play store still gives the most reach as it's pre-installed and has special permissions. I still think 30% is ludicrous, but at least it's possible to have competition.
If you are hoping for the lack of curly braces in particular, there is F#, which is sort of Rust with the minor matter of having a garbage collector, and inefficient iterators.
Depends on how you look at it, I certainly feel like using Delphi when doing .NET and Java development, which are also the development stacks that took the spotlight away from Delphi (alongside Borland's mismanagement).

What they miss in regard to Delphi is proper AOT to native code capabilities, something that they should have supported (from my point of view) since version 1.0. Java had it via commercial JDKs (which only enterprises cared about), .NET via NGEN, mono aot and some research stuff like CosmOS, Singularity or Midori.

However now 20 years later they are finally realising that must be an option, but that is mostly thanks to the competion from Go, Rust, Swift and friends than anything else.

Interesting that you mention EOF, it eventually became WebObjects (in Java) and it was due to NeXT / Sun collaboration that J2EE was born. Many Java bashers don't realise how much influence Objective-C had in the Java ecosystem, in language features, language runtime, and yes J2EE.

Regarding things being washed out of history, check out on Burroughs, VMS, Solo Pascal, Mesa, Multics, PL.8 for examples of systems programming before C was at all relevant outside Bell Labs walls, the Xerox PARS Workstations namely Interlisp-D, Mesa, Mesa/Cedar, Smalltalk or Wirths linage of Modula-2 and Oberon derived work based on Xerox PARC work.

Unfortunely computer history isn't something that most computing degrees spend time on.
Sure, but could you imagine the auto industry back then? Or oil and gas?

My point is that there are always highly competitive markets and markets with a lot of slack in them. Not to mention brand new markets that have never existed before.

I can assure bankruptcy is no walk in the park in the US. While our bankruptcy laws are leagues ahead of most Europe the amount of bankruptcies is insane in the US. The majority, >50%, are medical bankruptcies. And then you become a pariah to banks for 7 years or more!

While you may believe bankruptcies are used strategically, a la Trump, vast majority are from working people who simply have no choice and are at the end of the rope.
Sure they do it by choice. You also have the option to live somewhere else though

>"So, for starters, let’s rip out all k8s networking. Overlay networks, gone. Services, gone. CNI, gone. kube-proxy, gone. Network addons, gone."

Then they go on to to suggest:

>"If you have more elaborate connectivity needs, you bolt those on as additional network interfaces and boring, predictable IPv6 routes. Need to secure node-to-node comms? Bring up wireguard tunnels, add routes to push node IPs through the wireguard tunnel, and you’re done.

and

>'We could also have some fun with NAT64 and CLAT: make the entire network IPv6-only, but use CLAT to trick pods into thinking they have v4 connectivity. Within the pod, do 4-to-6 translation and send the traffic onwards to a NAT64 gateway."

So changing one type of NAT translation for another type of NAT translation and throw in some additional tunneling in there? How is that any simpler, more elegant or even more manageable than the current state of K8S networking? There is no requirement that you have to have an overlay network at all. If you bring up EKS cluster today in AWS the default is the aws-vpc CNI which is a flat address space the same as your VPC there is no overlay.

Then further:

>"Sticking at the pod layer for a bit longer: now that they’re mutable, the next obvious thing I want is rollbacks. For that, let’s keep old versions of pod definitions around, and make it trivial to “go back to version N”.

>"Now, a pod update looks like: write an updated definition of the pod, and it updates to match. Update broken? Write back version N-1, and you’re done."

This is exactly what using a GitOps operator does. Then they go on in the next sentence to call Gitops "nonsense"?

Not much of this is convincing or even well-throught out. This is definitely not "from the ground up." It's more like "throwing some shit against the wall and seeing if something sticks."
Personally I usr stock ublock origin and sponsorblock. Thesr 2 together work reasonably well.
No it doesn't. That isn't the official source code of Turbo Pascal.

"Because of my interest in Pascal programming language and compilers I created a Turbo Pascal compiler written in Turbo Pascal - TPC16. This is a compiler compatible with the original Borland Turbo Pascal 7 command line compiler tpc.exe. Later I modified this compiler to compile under Delphi - TPC32. On the foundations of this compiler I later created Turbo51 - Pascal compiler for 8051 microcontrollers. Then I decided to publish the secrets of the first compiler I have created and this website was born. Here you can find the internals, algorithms and data structures of the Turbo Pascal 7 command-line compiler. You can also download the executable file of the TPC16 compiler.

I created the compiler from scratch, but credits for the beauty of the language and for the exceptional elegance of the compiler go to Niklaus Wirth, Anders Hejlsberg and Borland."

I used to work on Bazel and Starlark. In the past, I talked with engineers working on other build systems to aim for some compatibility. The was some interest (even Microsoft people were interested to support Starlark rules in their tool), but it didn't work.

On the BUILD file level, Buck is using the Starlark. Pants and Please are close enough that some tooling (e.g. buildifier) can be shared. But that's about it.

There's a framework that does that, yeah it's pretty old but not obsolete. I saw it when I there used to exist Delphi for PHP.

Having a discussion about things you disagree with or seeing opportunities for learning are not the only kinds of good conversations. Just a couple of ideas: Being able to work out thoughts or knowledge together with someone else is nice. A topic you are enthusiastic about is still fun to talk about with someone else enthusiastic. Work-related stuff you maybe want to discuss only with colleagues, because it is too specialized for others to talk meaningful about. And for most human stuff it is easiest to share your worries with a friend who has roughly the same values as you.

> GKE SRE taught me that even the foremost Kubernetes experts cannot safely operate Kubernetes at scale.

This is a pretty damning indictment, honestly.

But has k8s gotten so influential that it'll be impossible to dislodge? I guess k8s has no problem breaking backwards-compatibility with new versions, so maybe somebody can propose something better even if it breaks compatibility.

"Open-source" means nothing alone, what matters is the licence. For eg. Unreal Engine is "open-source" but under strict license. Defold engine is also "open-source" but has a Apache-modified custom licence preventing the commercialization of editor derived work (so no commercial custom editor), etc.

There are many degree of openness and Godot goes full MIT so Godot is truely yours (both the editor and the engine)

I'd say that depends on the retention requirements of the recording folder and the public folder.

If you symlink "./public/recording" to "./recording", the public file only exists as long as the original file exists. Some automated cleanup could result in unexpected file deletions from "public/" (or, more specifically, the creation of dangling symlinks). However, this might be a use case for a hard link if you need the file in both places and both directories are on the same filesystem. Though I haven't thought about the implications of a hard link in this case enough so far.

> Citation needed. I can think of precious few applications that are better in the browser than native.

Imagine you’re a small business owner without an IT staff. Do you spend your time dealing with corrupted installations, malware, reinstalling after hardware fails, backup data and then verifying backups, or do you pay someone else a monthly fee to deal with all that and just worry about having an iPad with a working internet connection?

If your device breaks, you toss it, switch to another machine, go to a browser, type in the website, login, and you’re good to go again within seconds. That seems a lot better and faster than paying for in house IT.

Of course, the downside is you have ceded some control over to someone else and are now paying them rent and possibly getting locked in, but you have limited resources to allocate, and you decide going to see your kids’ performance is more important.

Perhaps I'm missing something here, or may be an arrogant internet neckbeard, but I'm always confused as to why people are often so eager/excited by dark mode (e.g. Slack around a year ago, or GitHub today)

Isn't the implementation of 'Dark Mode' little more than a CSS Color palette and a toggle switch nested somewhere in user settings?

Are people celebrating the usability over the technical feat?

Seems like much ado about nothing :/
The proper word for describing violent death intentionally inflicted by an oppressive refine for the purpose of removing people is _murder_ not "execution". Sunganthini's family was murdered. This is an important distinction that comes up from time to time in histories written about such events. The word "execution" implies legal legitimacy.

Yes, graph papers! I had an XT with a monochrome Hercules monitor, while in the factory where my father used to work there was a full blown 486SX. Envious of the plethora of the available fonts, I magnified the letters of the System [0] font with Paint, transferred them to a graph paper and took them home. Then for each character I wrote a separate (Turbo)Basic subroutine which would draw it in graphical mode exactly as it was on the paper. Finally I assembled these routines into an elementary editor. Nostalgia, yeah.

The thing that tolerates the garbage is the decoder. The format says what’s valid and how to read/write it.

Depending on your platform and what codec is used during playback, the corruption may be handled differently. The player might crash.

Best to scrub the file and properly reformat to remove corruption.

Another crazy thing - if the corruption is indeed due to fragmentation, the garbage bytes may in fact be another customer’s data! Or your company’s data, or whatever, you just don’t know.

You’re handing out random blocks of your disk to a customer, embedded in a video.

Depending on the type of business you run, you might not want to do this.
