I used to use a personal git server but the possible security issues and/or making the entire server vulnerable scared me away from it. Instead, I simply use bare git repos on the server and the server is only accessible via ssh/private key. I can simply fetch/push my repos directly. There's really no need for a frontend...
How would that work? Which application supports it? I don't know of a native way to do this.

I don’t think people are much worse at thinking for themselves these days, and to the extent that they are, it’s probably fallout from social media. I would like for people to have stronger independent thinking skills (just like I would like us to have infallible immune systems and no proclivity towards cancer and so on) but that’s all wishful thinking. Since we can’t do very much to make ours society more immune to social media, then we should change social media so it doesn’t wreak havoc on our society.

Of course there are ways. It’s called product research and asking friends. For example, I could have told him that with Diesel shoes you are paying for style and branding, not performance or durability.

As smartphones essentially replaced point and shoot cameras, image quality became a major selling point. In fact, for many people, that's the only reason for getting a modern, high-end phone.

Laptop cameras are typically used only for the occasional video chat, with so much compression on the line that the image looks like crap anyways. And before 2020, I'm quite sure most laptops didn't see their webcam used even once.

Maybe for the following years, now that people realized that their laptop webcam is not just a place to put a sticker on, manufacturers will put on something better.

I don't know. Thinking about dress shirts like I wore when I was in a business casual office most days? I tended to rotate through my shirts every couple of weeks. And I think it would maybe be a couple of years before collars started to look a little rough around the edges and elbows were maybe starting to get a bit thin. So maybe 50 wears/washes. 30 might be a bit low but I'm pretty sure it wasn't 100. (Of course, they would have been wearable for much longer but really too ratty for the purpose.

The underlying glibness is not lost upon me, but I'll engage with your counterpoint seriously, even if that's why I'm not fun at parties.

The French revolution happened in just one country. The entire continent of Europe begs to differ. The vast majority of social reform in Europe has been remarkably peaceful, transforming monarchies into democracies, often overnight. These quiet revolutions improved the stability of their respective societies and were largely driven by an emerging middle class.
Which is exactly what makes the "Paradox of Tolerance" hypocritical - you are more or less arbitrarily deciding who you can be intolerant towards.
Yes and no. I think I remember hearing about a license before that would require anybody that forks your project to create a PR for any changes they make.

While this wouldn't prevent a company from using your project, but it would at least force them to pass on any of their changes.
Companies would have massive incentives to hide revenue.

If we didn’t force companies to reveal revenue and only required tax and dividend, then there would be many ways to manipulate their stock.

Want to look successful? Borrow money and pay out a huge dividend.

Don’t need capital, pay zero taxes by offsetting private revenue. Offset forever paying no tax, issuing no dividends and just buying back stock.

>I usually listen to a song multiple times each day.

Used to be I bought a CD for say $10, listened to it probably hundreds to thousands of times, say around a penny per listen. Then I'd resell the CD, say for $5, and someone else could get another 1000 listens with no money going to an artist.

An artist used to get around 10% minus packaging costs, so say at most $1 per CD.

So an artist then could get under 0.1 cents per listen, maybe vastly less.

Next, a song plays on the radio to millions, and the artist gets (?). I think that was quite small too. Even then, touring was where most of the money was made - the CD and radio game was to get exposure and fans, many of whom would then pay $50-$100 for one evening of listening to the band live.

I'm not sure how all the econ works out now without spending too much time digging into it, but making music has never been a good income stream for any but a tiny, tiny percent of artists.
I have a similar thing with razor blades. I'm honestly baffled when I see commercials for Dollar Shave Club and they talk how they deliver shaving products, including razors, to you each month.

When I started to shave around age 17, I got one of these Gillette 5-blade razors, and it came with two replacement heads in the same box. When those were worn out, I bought a 10-pack of replacement heads. I'm now 31 years old and I'm now halfway through that same 10-pack.

Yes, this is definitely something to keep in mind. Especially when bootstrapping (what the post seems to be aimed at), building integrations with a marketplace can be a significant time investment, at the expense of working on other marketing or product improvements. Established marketplaces for popular categories are going to see diminished returns pretty quickly.

For example, we were one of the first to integrate with the Google Workspace Marketplace when it launched many years ago (called Google Apps Marketplace back then). It brought us a lot of leads in the early days. Today, discoverability has become a real problem. The "luck"-component in being featured in any search result or when browsing the marketplace is now so large that I'm not sure if for new products it would still outweigh the work of building the integration and keeping up to date with inevitable breaking API changes.

Overall it can be an amazing channel for growth though, so it's mostly about carefully picking one where customers might find you, rather than just going for something that looks promising because it's big. There's a big first-mover advantage when launching on a newish platform (and as the list proves, there's many new ones).

My 2 cents.

Compute and storage capabilities keep growing rapidly, if one structures their data well, uses a reasonable query processor, and some form of underlying columnar storage then computing calculations on TBs of data can be accomplished in seconds for low costs.

Being able to recompute the world from scratch is a p0 requirement for most analytic workloads, as otherwise migrations and un-forseen computation changes due to new product requirements and other activities become painful.

This leaves differential techniques in an awkward spot where to be effective they need to

1) Operate on vast quantities of data or sufficiently complex calculations such that optimization of compute is a concern to the end-user.

2) Operate in a computational environment that is sufficiently constrained such that all present and future changes to the computation can be reasonably accounted for.

3) Be transparent enough that engineers don't feel that they are duplicating logic.

It's hard to think of applications that would meet this criteria outside of intelligent caching of computation within DB engines.
I still like this method, and I take advantage of pre-push, pre-commit hooks for dev tools like linters and scanners.

Taken from [0] If you wanted to use the information above to make decisions, it could often be wrong. Let's say you want to wait for it to be correct; how long do you wait?

I know how long I want to wait, 30 minutes in one of my cases as I know that I've seen 95% of the important data by then. In the streaming world there is _always_ late data so being able to tell what should happen when the rest (5%) arrives is crucial for me.

This differs from use-case to use-case for me and being able to configure this and handling out-of-order data at scale is key for me when selecting a framework for stream processing.
Apache Beam and Apache Flink do this very well.

Taken from [1]: Apache Beam has some other approach where you use both and there is some magical timeout and it only works for windows or something and blah blah blah... If any of you all know the details, drop me a note.
It obviously only works when you window your data as it needs to fit in memory. The event-time and system-time concept from Beam and Flink are very similar, also the watermark approach.
Thank you for sharing the links, For me it is now clearer where the difference lies between differential-dataflow and stream-processing frameworks (which also offer SQL and even ACID conformity!). I'm using Beam/Flink in production and missing out on one of these mentioned points is a deal-breaker for me.

I'm single and living alone, no family in the picture. I have a very small circle of friends I love and who I trust implicitly. With their permission I ask them if it's okay to share some important things with them, in case the worst happens. Spare keys, contacts, etc. etc.

Those friendships might outlive any romantic partnership I do have in future. So I don't think it has to be a partner specifically. Of course, there are still some things that you might not share as openly even with that trust in place, but that doesn't stop you from having a backup plan.

It's worth keeping in mind that we don't always know which projects will truly become successful. The precursor to Elasticsearch, Compass, wasn't hugely popular. When I started looking hard at Elasticsearch, with plans to actually use it, I had to spend a lot of time explaining why I didn't want to use Solr, which was much more popular at the time.

In my opinion, the bottom line is this: if Amazon's exploitative behavior is continues then we're going to see more and more open source products shift towards janky-kind-of-open-source or entirely closed licenses. Small or experimental projects will have open and permissive licenses, their authors will have plans for shifting licenses should the product become really successful.

I think it marks the end of this idea that you could have an open source project and then build a commercial offering around it. No matter who you are, odds are good Amazon will get such an offering off the ground faster and they have a built-in market of AWS customers.

Elasticsearch has made their motives clear: they have real concerns that Amazon is diluting their brand and they feel that Amazon is costing them too many customers with their proprietary AWS product. We can quibble about the morals of Amazon's move (they have none, corporations have no morals) but let's not lose sight of the outcome: Amazon has forced another OSS project to switch to a closed license[0].

Yes, you could. But there are also specialized electronics that work at 450C (or even 500C). NASA Glenn Research Center has developed them. Transistors and such using Silicon Carbide (instead of regular silicon). A simple computer could as easily be made with such transistors and passive elements. It’d be much faster and lighter than a relay computer.

The issue with all such computers is developing significant storage. Enough RAM for scientific data and images is probably too energy intensive (electrical energy is hard to get if you have to dump heat at 450C for your RTG). So you either transmit constantly as described here: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20150002090

or you store it using maybe a magnetic tape with high curie temperature.
Are you in the US?

“They piled on work” > I’m not complaining
Health was shit > But I have no problem working more than 40hs.

I hear this constantly in the US. Observing the overworked state one is in, but throwing a “no but I’m still good eh, don’t get me wrong” after to back pedal it a bit. Almost as if everyone was guilty, or if they had to show they are also as strong as the next guy working 60hs.

I work at a place where people feel like they will be fired if they work less than 50h/week when they are exempt even if they could finish the work in 36hs.

I notice this is embedded in the American work culture. Feeling sorry for not working more than the amount of time they are being paid for.

I keep a lot of digital stuff - photos, writing, files of every description...

I’m always in the market for good search tools to run over all that stuff (I currently like Recoll). The ideal tool would be something akin to a virtual museum curator - something that knew all the content of the archive, all the relationships between the content, all the context, the lineage, the referents, and all the implications.

“Jeeves, what was the thing I was working on last week? You know, the thing?”

Nobody knows all that better than me, as I created and gathered the data in the first place.

So is a sufficiently advanced search tool for all that stuff indistinguishable from an AI-of-me?

Yes, but if the library abstracts away the unsafe code, then users of the library don't need to write any themselves. This has the advantage of a single point of unsafeness, which can be fixed by the library author/maintainer for all clients.

Elastic is a for profit business.

Steven Schuuman [1] was CEO before Shay Bannon. Schuuman (who made 450MM from selling SpringSource to VMWare) is a billionaire. Stop pretending this is about "OSS" and not 'hey, that's my mad money Jeff!'.

If Elastic was a company that was fully owned only by "OSS Developers", then fine, this would be an opportunity to support that sort of enlightended for profit corporation and fellow developers.

But the stakeholders here are Billionaires and millionaires. No doubt Elastic took very good care of software developers (lots of perks) but since this is about money (lest we forget) it would be interested to see a breakdown of just who made what from this "OSS" "project".

(And yes, not even a fan of Amazon.)

Yes and no. Apex, the backend language,is still probably 5-7 years behind where JAVA/.Net is, but considering the type of development that is being done with it, it's not that bad.

Maybe there's a whole literature on this subject, but I'm way too thinly spread among interests and would love to know if there's something that's already done with standard parts to address this problem.
