I do. Sometimes I work harder to compensate, some times I apologize. But then it’s my mistake so I can negotiate with myself.

Sometimes working harder is warranted. Some salesperson screwed up, and it’s not really possible to reneg the multi million dollar contract. “I’m sorry guys, what can we do?”
Awesome good to hear. Thanks.
The LRA impact was very confined to the north. I grew up in Kampala and the LRA was simply something we heard about on the news and didn't impact our lives. That said, the impact they had on the northern districts especially on all the children there is heartbreaking and still felt to this day.

I wasn't alive in the 70s so can't say exactly what Kampala was like then but my parents and grandparents say it's more modern now. And overall there are more people having better lives on average than the smaller group of well off people at that time.

From an economically standpoint I think a challenge we have is that we are landlocked and have to be dependent on our neighbors substantially amongst other challenges that delving into would turn into an essay. That said I see future promise and growth for the country

One of the authors here. Recent versions of Aegis also come with an automatic backup feature, so that an export is created at a location of your choosing automatically every time a change is made to your entry list. Might be a little more convenient than doing manual exports every time.
I've written a high-availability service with Akka.NET and RabbitMQ and I remember when I was working with that infrastructure, my biggest question around Akka Cluster was "why would I use this when I already have a message queue infrastructure?"

Maybe real Akka is better than Akka.NET when it comes to Akka Cluster?
The rest of this guys channel is great. Lots of fun with amateur astronomy. His ability to explain complex topics is fantastic.
Rust's type system with regards to C and that of many other languages certainly helps to avoid logic bugs as well.

A simple difference would be that, for instance, in Java every object is nullable, whereas in Rust, this is only so when it be declared as such, and the type system requires one to in some capacity first verify of a nullable type that it isn't null, before something meaningful can be done with it.
"The meetings were only six hours a day" ... ahhh ... (for five months straight)
Are you implying that the list no longer has a good intention? I wouldn't be surprised if there are multiple orders of magnitude more phishing and hacked websites in 2021 than there was in 2004. Even with human checking, I doubt you'll even have 0% failure rate. Is the solution to just give up on blocking phishing sites?
this raises a good point.

being negative is almost always culturally seen as a bad thing, especially in the US, while in would argue hiding your negativity is far worse in the long run because it occludes your state of mind to your peers.

having moments when life just truly sucks is absolutely normal, but expressing it happens is not.
I, like most developers, got swept up in the gatsby/Netlify/contentful hype and have been building marketing sites that way for a few years now (mostly for Saas and startups).

The problems with this approach are many. First, getting set up is a giant pain in the ass. And not just the fact that you have to code everything from scratch, it’s the build process headaches, fixing the shitty SEO defaults of the static site generator, fighting over whatever hot CSS framework to use(its 2021 so tailwind now!!), etc. Then hooking the site up to a headless CMS is another big nightmare—-and then training your team how to use it is another.

And that’s just the beginning. Guess what happens when your team(or you) wants to update the marketing site (happens all the time)? You have to go through the nightmare all over again, fix some inevitable build process errors, re-learn how everything works, re-hook up contentful to the new content models, retrain the team again, etc.

Contrast this to the Webflow approach. I built the entire site in a day and haven’t had to touch the marketing site since. Our designer owns it completely now and has already done 2 complete redesigns in the time it would take me to do a small update the old way.

Our copywriter logs directly into Webflow when he wants to change the copy, the designer builds new landing pages for marketing initiatives in a day, and I never get bugged by the marketing team to “update this small thing” since they own it now.

Honestly, I now think the entire static site ecosystem is designed for developers to set up a personal blog using whatever front-end framework they think is “cool” at the time and never add content to it.

I would guess 98% of gatsby/Hugo/etc sites have less than 10 posts on them. And of those sites, there’s a 78% chance the only post is “how I rebuilt this site in Gatsby”

A few weeks ago I was in the next room washing dishes overhearing my dad say he just got an alert of missing funds from his bank account.

I asked him about it 10 minutes later and was shocked he had submitted all his account information from a text alert.

“You do realize you just gave all your account information to a scammer in a phishing attack I hope.”

Thankfully he was able to change account information within minutes and no funds were lost.

Moral: check in with your parents, people around the world are trying to scam them weekly.
...and in the case of people using DNS-based adblocking and such, "you" is... yourself.
I don’t buy dealership that dealerships don’t like EVs because they make less money on repairs.

A lot of the work dealers do is warranty work (paid my mfr). Warranty work is due to manufacturer defect and defects can happen with ICE vehicles or EVs. Just look at the build quality issues Tesla was having.

Maintenance and repair issues go far beyond the engine. Power train, electrical, doors, windows, brakes, lighting - all of which EVs still have. Yeah, it’s great when you don’t need an oil or filter change twice a year, but that’s about all the maintenance an ICE needs.

thank you for this comment. it has described the kind of thinking that is important very well.
I realize this is uselessly pedantic, but Harvard's Division of Continuing Education (Extension School + Summer School) is technically under the FAS umbrella, alongside Harvard College (undergrad) and GSAS (graduate arts + sciences). ~15 years ago I worked for FAS as a web developer, and the software my org developed was used by all 3 of these schools. Wikipedia confirms FAS is still organized in this way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Faculty_of_Arts_and_Sc...

That said, yes it's extremely misleading for a DCE instructor to call themselves an FAS professor. This sort of thing does happen at all top tier schools' extension programs, though far more often it's done by students rather than instructors.

And this is why anyone who doesn’t identify with the far left political tribes in America should be concerned. As well as all other nations which allow these services and businesses to be accessed by their populace. Ultimately, the politics and culture of San Francisco is controlling speech and influencing the politics of all other locations. That’s an unacceptable risk that needs to be managed through regulation and anti-trust law, before we see complete Balkanization of the Internet.
Pretty opinionated and preachy while mixing different things. I think a can-do attitude is something one should have within oneself, but it is something completely different from the emotions a person emits to the outside world.

Having a critical but positive look at the world is most likely very healthy, in the spirit of 'Change what you can and accept what you can not'. Constantly emitting a positive image, on the other hand, leads to the problems described in the article. But the problem is not the positivity, but the need to express it even it is not coming from within.

Don't be afraid, to share your true feelings, but try to view the world in a balanced way (now I was preachy myself...).
The Expanse does show deceleration explicitly many times. It's called a flip and burn in the show.
I didn't really read that article as being for a developer. I read it and thought, hey, this one would be good to share with a few project managers & business unit managers. Any time people who are not programmers (especially ones we have to work with) start to better understand what we're really doing, it is a good thing. Articles like this are superb for helping them understand that developers do have a disciplined and rigorous way of solving problems.

I do agree with you that these articles do leave a lot of detail and precision out. They tend to give the reader a superficial understanding of the subject... but a superficial understanding may be enough to help.
Hey, you get free string cheese, what more do you want?
I wouldn't want to depend on some open source project in an obscure language because it will likely get fewer contributors. But go isn't some obscure language.
That's cool that you're deep into the tech and actively creating, wishing you the best of luck with the startup.
This one counts as exceeding, at least on some measures. The chip has 1TB/s of memory bandwidth from the 48 cores to its on-package 32GB of memory. Looks like the smallest thing you can buy, though, is a 2U server with 8 sockets, 2 of them populated, for $40k.
also, sometimes hard decisions with severe negative consequences have to be made. not being open about these kind of decisions because they are not "positive" does far more harm then good.
That was the normal volume of manually identified sites at the time. Before 2007 there weren’t a lot of participants because it was in beta.
Is it that amazing? GM has been squeezing efficiency out of thier ICE production lines for close to 100 years.

Interesting that he has set the threshhold at 1 million users. How many websites are over that threshhold. Would this incentivise more small websites. Are small websites better than large ones.

Spotify is not a particularly nice tool to listen to podcasts in to begin with.
AFAIK they haven't done anything to make podcasts different from music except section them off.

Nothing in it makes it good for podcasts, I am not sure it even has an easy way to track which you have listen to and what is next?

Also it's recommend podcast is hilariously insuitable.
It's definately taken straight from its recommended music feature.
It just recommends basically random things without context.
Since a lot of podcasts are either:
Serials, in which case it will happy suggest listening to epsiode 11 of a 22 epsisode story.
Or current affairs, in which case it will happily suggest something from over 6 months ago.
I am beginning to think that a lot of these problems stem from Gradle's frameworkyness. You don't call it, it calls you. Whatever it's doing in between when it calls into the bits and pieces of code that you wrote is a mystery. That, in turn, makes it almost impossible to intuit how things in a Gradle script relate to each other. The relationships aren't lexical, and you can't figure out how things work by tracing through the code. Instead, its inner workings feel like spooky action at a distance.

If Gradle were more of a library, and a Gradle build script were just a Groovy or Kotlin script that calls into that library, everything might be easier to understand.

Agreed!

IMO, ask for the company's SOC-2 once you've demonstrated that you are a legitimate prospective customer with a budget and not a competitor or social engineer.

That should address most concerns, or at least make the questions more salient, and it has the added benefit of being vetted by a third party.

If they don't have one, then proceed with the dumb questions, but as you quite correctly point out, no one should be surprised if some questions are rebuffed.
> I use enums in C, too

Enums in C are just ints with names. They're error prone and not type checked. You can always use 0 instead of a name and it will work. You can use TLSv2 instead of ExterminateHumans and it will also work.

> What I mean by it is significant "programming in type language" as opposed to "in code language".

I honestly don't understand what you mean by this.

please stop your America-centric view world

look at how Iran is funding terrorist groups that brutally oppress people in Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen.

Syria is murky because they back the "official" government.

Just keep in mind the world is big and America is small and viewing the whole world in orange-man-bad shades is a really simplistic model and very very wrong

edit - example: read your last sentence:
"except for the religious right and arms manufacturers"

- religious right: actually don't care much about Iran, they supported the christians Armenia over the Shia Azerbaijan 2 months ago. Secular Assad over islamist (insert 20 Al Qaeda variations). So no, Iran (and its government) shouldn't hated by the religious right

- arms manufacturers: a stronger Iran = arms race in Mid East = more sales to Irans neighbors. So relaxing sanctions will be booming business for them

FWIW, (pre-Facebook acquisition) WhatsApp's systems were serving tens if not hundreds of millions of people and they never failed so catastrophically.

There was a difference in approach, though. WhatsApp was using battle-tested technology (ejabberd, XMPP) and removing things that didn't make sense to them (federation). Moxie had one trick (end-to-end encryption) and wanted to build a whole messaging platform around that. Instead of standing in shoulders of giants, he chose to ignore all the lessons from the past and do everything from scratch out of the belief that he can do better.

At some point, these systems break. In Signal's case, this point has been reached.
They where the ones that where going to be responsible for it so how can they be unnecessary? He even said they started to say no more and more as the deadline started to loom over them.
That's a good point -- I wasn't really thinking about the practicability since it's not something I had much interest in. That said, I guess either blackholing the DNS so it can't initially be resolved, or even figuring out any and all IP addresses it resolves to and blackholing those IPs would be a start.

I agree, however, that it should be possible to run your own _______. That's what the internet was meant to be.

Actually I think this kind of example is exactly the problem: people think that if Jonathan Blow can do it with a plain text editor, anyone can. But Mr Blow is one of the very best in his field, the vast majority of programmers are not at that level. So they need languages and tools to help them out.

How has it not changed? The first customer site I went to on my own had a minicomputer with a storage component consisting of a 25-MB drive and an 8" floppy that held 1.x MB. Shortly before I was planning to head to the airport, there was a "spang" and the system panicked. The belt drive of the 25 MB drive had fallen off the spindle. That unit was the size of crib (without legs), and who knows what it cost? My first semi-real programming was in MV/Eclipse assembler.

I don't know how I'd change tech today.

The negatives seem to me those that have been around a long time. Fifty-five years ago, I heard my father grumbling about a professional association that had given Union Carbide an award, when everyone knew how miserably it treated its technical staff. Union Carbide then, IBM, etc. now. Positives? You can start developing on amazingly cheap hardware with freely downloadable software, you can deploy applications to amazing cheap VMs. The resources are amazing.

Advice? Go back to your old code (last week's, last month's), see what you did right, what you did wrong, and what you wished you had documented. Learn different sorts of languages. Use version control.

My two cents, anyway.
No you're misunderstanding what the recommendation is. If a company runs their own DoH or even regular DNS or AD resolvers, then the company's client computers (the laptops their employees take home) should not be querying any old resolver hard-coded in their web browser (Firefox, CloudFlare) for internal company domain addresses. That's literally all this is saying. It's good corporate IT policy anyway and it's only being reiterated with DoH.
I really should learn Rust. I am just nostalgic for C because C makes me feel like I am doing something closer to what the CPU works with. I know there are several layers underneath all that, but with C you can do all manner of dangerous things that by any means you shouldn’t be allowed to do. I have used it for a few projects over the years but lately the only place I really get into it is programming Arduinos or similar. I am sure sooner or later we will get a good toolkit for a language that both does proper memory management AND can allow you to do all the things you can do with C on a microcontroller, but so far I haven’t seen that.

Also, I have it on my TODO to go back and redo the Capture the Flag challenges from like 10 years ago that dealt with things like stack overflows. I had a ton of fun working on those and it would be fun to revisit them. Anyone got a modern version of something like that?
I mean, it was barely a decade ago when my parents computers regularly got filled with malware and popups and scams. They regularly fell for bullshit online. Maybe they have gotten more savvy, but I feel like this has overall greatly decreased, in a world where there's actually increasingly more bad actors.

I think that for things to change they will need to reach a breaking point. I hope and pray that we will be able to get through this breaking point and to the other side to a better civilization before some x-level threat destroys us.
Queues overlap with the messaging aspects of actors but not the supervision aspect of actors.

I'm genuinely interested in the point you make about the these instructions but it's not helpful to mention something like this without a link to more information.

On the first point you said 'Apple doesn't care' which I read as Apple doesn't care about the licensing rules - if you meant something else then fine but I think most people would read it that way.

I fail to see any interest in this article. It looks to me that someone projected her beliefs on Beethoven, with an oversimplification and little regards to the various influences on Beethoven's composition. He composed music at a time where musical trends emerged (notably romanticism), he suffered big professional failures, he was influenced by other composers... Did Beethoven's music become more complex in his last years because he could not hear? Maybe so, but Bach had no hearing problem yet his later music evolved in a similar way (Musical offering, The Art of the Fugue).

One could build a theory that Bach's piano works were influenced by his reading of the Odysseus, or by his growing taste for coffee. There certainly are arguments that could justify these theories. There are arguments against it, and anyway nothing can be established. Well, as long as some people enjoy writing or reading theories, why not.
