> And now the business is left with another abstraction no one maintains on top of a legacy system no one understands.
Good job. Well deserved promotion.

The business made a business decision to evaluate the tech in order to save a critical service that had serious maintenance problems, and made another business decision to use the stack. I barely even advocated for it, I mentioned it one time, we decided to do a spike into feasibility, everyone was pleased with the outcome.

The libraries themselves were extensively documented from the start. I made a presentation introducing them before the service port was launched.

A greenfield service was under active development for several months before I resigned, and a grand total of two bugs were filed related to that (by me). The team using it had maybe five questions for me over that period. Other services were planned to be ported when feasible.

I did two weeks of knowledge transfer during my transition out of the business. I took great care to spend extra time on the most complex parts and had special sessions for what I was unashamed to call the “bad parts”.

Overall the reception was very good, and by the end of that there were very few questions. I’m reasonably sure I left my old team and adjacent teams on good footing to stay productive. And I offered to make myself available for free after the fact if anything needed further explanation (which hasn’t been needed).

Honestly I know “NIH syndrome” is a smell, but goodness I wish people had a little bit more inclination to take a charitable interpretation and ask questions before attacking.

That's a bit confusing. Are you able to expand on that, so it's easier to understand?
Normal fountain pen inks tend not to be waterproof, unless one uses some expensive ones, so that makes it not very suitable for using with watercolours, for example.
I'm sorry; I should have said "taking a cut" - it's not about how much; the point is I'm not in favor of that method of capturing value.

GitHub earns its cut with massive network effect, which it built for years, funded with a quality product that users paid for directly, before rolling out marketplaces.
I reviewed the video Trump talking about UV. He wasn't referring to anything specific. He was just throwing out ideas. On a high-level, these ideas do make sense. However, Trump is a character, so whatever he's saying isn't taken seriously. A lot of his speeches indeed sound fun.
Long and short of it: Ted Turner is the guy who created CNN, a very influential news source in the US. Many people consider CNN to be a "left-wing" news source, and in the clip King talks to Bill Clinton, a democratic politician, about Ted Turner "serving" Clinton after he was elected president.

The use of the word "serving" is the issue, as it sounds like a quid pro quo.

The way I interpret it, Mr. King is suggesting to Clinton he (Clinton) might be interested in establishing a reciprocal relationship with one of most prominent media moguls and politically influential billionaires, Ted Turner.

Teddy helps Billy with the optics on CNN, maybe funding various campaigns, and in turn Billy helps Teddy with his own projects, like I dunno, passing a bill to kill off competitors and so on.

The yin and yang that are Politics and Media.
I think you are legitimately on to something. I may actually build that this week if I get some downtime.

It would need to be _polite_ though since most people who do this do seem to be generally well-meaning, if unwittingly annoying.
I assume the cost to even try would be in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

Spend that on the living instead. We're already too many as is anyway, no need to also bring the dead back.

”Can I ask you a question?” obviously isn’t that literal, but more of a shorthand for ”do you have the time, energy and inclination to have a discussion with me right now to figure out the answer to a question I have?”.

I personally try to ask the question straight away, with some caveats and pleasantries added if needed to avoid friction and stressing people out, but I do think it’s fair enough to do it like above as well. You show that you’re respecting the other person’s time by not dragging them too far into a conversation before they’ve agreed to have it, and you don’t have to write out the full question right then and there if it turns out the person is not available for it at the moment.
OP here. I didn't make onlysponsors. I found out about it while listening to a podcast about Vue. and decided it is quite interesting and useful for many open sourcers here.

You will need getters/setters for some fields. So your code will look weird:

p.x = p.getY() + p.z;
p.setY(p.x + p.z);

It's better to use more universal approach, so your code will look unified.

Another thing why getters/setters are preferable is because when you need to replace field with computed value, you would need to replace all your code.

Proper approach would be to use properties which are available for every language but Java. They invented records, which somewhat fill that niche.
Although synchronous conversation is often desirable, there are different ways to initiate it.

IMO it's more polite to use an async channel first to ask if the other party is available for a phone call, and if not, schedule a phone call for a specific time. Like, I'd love to talk with you about that problem this afternoon, but right now I'm too busy debugging another problem.
well, tbf it absolutely could work without a trail of pings. But no system is designed that way because metrics are, unsurprisingly, useful. All that said I still agree 100% with you, don't carry an internet connected GPS with you while you're out criming!

My understanding was that the explosives were not at the capitol (DNC headquarters I think), but maybe I'm just out of date on additional information?

Not saying that is good either, just that there were many things going on that day that aren't necessary related via any sort of coordinated operation.
I had a use case recently for serializing C data structures in Rust (i.e., being compatible with an existing protocol defined as "compile this C header, and send the structs down a UNIX socket"), and I was a little surprised that the straightforward way to do it is to unsafely cast a #[repr(C)] structure to a byte-slice, and there isn't a Serde serializer for C layouts. (Which would even let you serialize C layouts for a different platform!)

I think you could also do something Serde-ish that handles the original use case where you can derive something on a structure as long as it contains only plain data types (no pointers) or nested such structures. Then it would be safe to "serialize" and "deserialize" the structure by just translating it into memory (via either mmap or direct reads/writes), without going through a copy step.

The other complication here is multiple readers - you might want your accessor functions to be atomic operations, and you might want to figure out some way for multiple processes accessing the same file to coordinate ordering updates.

I kind of wonder what Rust's capnproto and Arrow bindings do, now....
I think it’s incredible that ad supported games are a thing - you are going to support your game by showing ads for someone else’s game? If the ads are effective and people go play that game, then they are not watching ads during your game anymore. Didn’t think that one through.

Conversations are the most natural way of communicating – when talking to someone in-person, one often starts talking only after we have their full attention, we wait for them to either nod, or make a sound, or look at you, right? now, because chatting on tools like Flock or Slack is very similar like talking in person – our brain is hard wired to wait before we have the attention of the person we’re talking to.

Nothing especially bad. He talks about how incredible it is he reaches so many countries with his broadcast-- at the time a staggering thought-- and to illustrate tells a story of seeing a praying Rabbi at the Wailing/Western wall in Jerusalem who turns to ask king about domestic US politics (Ross Perot, who ran against Clinton and Bush).

Then he basically says Ted Turner, founder of CNN, is a nice guy to work for and is a fan of Clinton (as if he is not allowed to be?) and could "serve you" whatever that means which I guess could be as ominous as your imagination allows but probably means in his administration.

There is zero antisemitism expressed. Only Larry King and the Israeli rabbi interested in American politics are Jewish. Clinton, Perot, and Turner are not.

The claimed outrage is absurd.
Doesn't stop stories designed to provoke outrage and generate clicks and shares in online form - e.g. "look at this asylum seeker who's got an 8 bed house in Knightsbrige and a bazillion pounds in benefits ... GRRRRR"

Even when said stories are patently false and designed to enrage and inflame public opinion.

It blows my mind that a bunch of conspiracy-minded folks (the sort of people who won't get a vaccine because they think it contains a tracking chip from Bill Gates) would stage an insurrection and not turn their phones off!

Honestly, what did they think was going to happen? As the saying goes, "When you strike at a king, you must kill him." You don't get to fail miserably at your coup and then go back home to your regular lives.
Now, who can tell me what justifies this valuation? (Many people want to know.)

If there's nothing to justify this valuation, then it sounds like another product getting hyped by VCs and built to drive for an IPO or nothing, for what seems to be an exclusive private party for the tech elite, celebs, VCs, VIPs etc but not for us plebeians.

You are welcome to change my mind. Discuss.

I know, really. Many of these bullet points even I learned after becoming a junior developer. I was just reflecting on my experience training junior developers this past year and assuming we’re talking about fullstack PHP devs, most if not all of these items were skills (to lesser or greater extent) were required to be proficient at my workplace. I wish it wasn’t this way but can’t you agree that compared to 2010 that becoming a junior dev has become harder.
3 and 4 are easy - have a manual review of automatically flagged content. You get clear reasons, better resolution of false positives, and it’s not simple to game. And, in another plus, it can feed back into the AI training.

I think it's amusing that both the "don't do" and "do this" examples are exactly the same length and time investment for both parties. I agree with the author, but it does mildly undermine the point.
I remember reading the white paper back in the 90s and being so excited. It’s been a good run!
Saying “hello” with no immediate follow up is just as useless as saying “I have a problem” without context. It provides no useful/actionable information and just shows how little the person saying hello values your time because it forces your attention and prevents you from prioritizing an answer efficiently.
That's a very interesting and more refined insight then people usually get (everything thinks it's ever few seconds etc). I'd love to know more about how the process works

>> Many people consider CNN to be a "left-wing" news source

Are their people that do see the clear bias of the network?

This is like saying "Many people consider Fox news to be a "right wing" network"

There is no doubt of the political leanings of either network. CNN is/was not called Clinton News Network for nothing.....
IMO the embedding of electronics and tracking in every aspect of our lives becomes too complex for the average non-techie to make informed decisions about the technology they use.

Maybe it should be "obvious" with a phone, but what if your bluetooth headset tried to pair against someone's electronics and got detected? What about the GPS history from your Apple Watch (should that data be available)? How many RFID-tagged devices are in your wallet?

I'm not saying that any of these aren't convenient or worth the tradeoff, but the last assertion (telling people to just be smart about what electronics they bring) is not realistic as the vast majority of THINGS we own become trackable electronics, whether the average consumer knows it or not.
The emoji symbols seem like a good idea, but unfortunately just because its the first time you've communicated with a person for the day, doesn't mean that they _aren't_ incredibly busy.

We may have different work cultures, but I used to report to someone who would lead with a bare "Hey!" and I eventually found that if I waited long enough she would either elaborate or the issue would go away. Somehow I don't think that was her actual plan.
Around four years ago I was working on a transactional data store and ran into these issues that virtually no one tells you how durable I/O is supposed to work. There were very few articles on the internet that went beyond some of the basic stuff (e.g. create file => fsync directory) and perhaps one article explaining what needs to be considered when using sync_file_range. Docs and POSIX were useless. I noticed that there seemed to be inherent problems with I/O error handling when using the page cache, i.e. whenever something that wasn't the app itself caused write I/O you really didn't know any more if all the data got there.

Some two years later fsyncgate happened and since then I/O error handling on Linux has finally gotten at least some attention and people seemed to have woken up to the fact that this is a genuinely hard thing to do.

You could probably describe Rhapsody that way, but by the time Mac OS X came out, I don't think that's an accurate characterization at all anymore.

In addition to the sizable Carbon subsystem, the NeXTStep pieces were also changed substantially, e.g. the refactor of Foundation that extracted CoreFoundation and the change of the graphics subsystem from Display Postscript to Quartz.
I use Pilot's disposable fountain pens. Maybe not as good as the 'real' ones but I like them.
This is generally true. However, sometimes I like to ‘bury’ a hard-to-answer question in a follow up. The reason is, if you ask the question straight off, people have the option of pretending they haven’t seen it. They can’t do that if you’ve already exchanged pleasantries and made the conversation synchronous. Devious, I know.
1. You're comparing death to death here but the correct comparison is room-temperature death to Hell. Dead-but-cryopreserved is the pre-afterlife state equivalent to death in traditional religions.

2. How do you revive the frozen heads from companies that couldn't pay their freezer bills three decades ago? You don't. Those heads picked the wrong company. Expecting a just god from some other religion to let you into the afterlife anyway is a common response to Pascal's wager.

3. Is the word you're looking for here "faith"? I don't think that word helps your argument. I will concede that there's probably no condition where the company unfreezes you and then kills you because you're not up to their standards. Well, unless they find those old bad reviews you left...
I used to use cheap Wyse Winterms in a configuration like this years ago. They could be had for about $20 a pop used on eBay 15 years go. A quick look now confirms they can still be had for about $15-20 each. Pair with xrdp on a server and it works great.

They're cheap, feel pretty good to write with, and the ink dries almost instantly (although it depends a bit on what kind of paper you're writing on).
If you've been following the development progress, they've gotten the VM side largely ironed out and under testing. Nothing on the language side has been polished yet though.

As an honest estimate, I'd give about 2-4 more years. But it's definitely further along than I thought it would be.

See: https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~briangoetz/valhalla/sov/
Indeed. I don't know if there's a plan for the standard type to move to offset-ptr, or if there's even a std::offset_ptr, but it would be great if there was.

For us, some of the 'different data type' pain was alleviated with transparent comparators. YMMV.

Please share if you do build it, I’ve been looking for a PM auto responder for vacations. They exist but many of them are bundled to other services with features I don’t care about and come at a cost that’s more than I want to pay for just the one feature of actual interest.
This is entirely false. Debian not only doesn't do this, it patches out such tomfoolery in anything they distribute.

It's a recent trend, but it's nowhere near ubiquitous, and it's still a major violation of consent to exfiltrate a user's data without asking, even if every piece of software in the world did it (as you erroneously claimed).

When software spies on you without permission, there's a name for that type of software.
You aren't disagreeing with me.
> I’m always amazed that a $500 console can run games better than a $1500 PC.

I cannot think of an instance where that statement is true. Perhaps you meant $500 console can perform moderately well compared to a $1500 PC? If a game runs better on a console then its PC counterpart, then it usually the developer not optimizing the game properly.

> Also would a console be any good as a PC if you could get a common OS running on it?
