> I think the bigger issue has been the lengthening of working hours (imagine working just 9 to 5)

I'm pretty surprised to see this framed as if it's unrealistic. I have what you'd probably call a "very good" job, judging by my comp and the "coolness" of what I work on, and I work a hard 10-6. Based on the way people talk about it, I used to wonder when I'd hit the point in my career when I "arrived" and wasn't able to escape overworking, but I eventually accepted that this "common knowledge" is nonsense.

Work/life balance is ultimately a choice. Unless you're in dire poverty, you have degrees of freedom to trade off between work/life balance, comp, how engaging the work is, etc. I have a friend who makes 20% more than me, has 100x worse WLB and working environment, and has a less interesting job. I'm 100% sure I don't want his job... But I'm reasonably sure he wouldn't want mine (he's a workaholic and likes money a lot more than I do).
The armed "security" in CHAZ killed an unarmed black teenager and it was a non-story.
"Individualism" was never really implemented as "western" value; it was only ever a catch-phrase to defend the status quo by insisting those at the top "earned the right" to be there.

"Color blindness" likewise has mostly been used to argue that those on the bottom of society deserve to be there; (again) preserving the status quo. I.E. shutting down discussion by labeling racism a "solved problem".

"Freedom of speech" complaints most often come from those claiming to be "censored" because they are no longer being given a megaphone.

"Rule of law" is used to prevent analysis of those laws by, among other things, demonizing any discussion of those laws' motivations, or the cultural context in which they are enforced.

"Objectivity, Facts, and Reason" are used as buzzwords, often by those who know they aren't actually on their side, because

1) everyone knows they are good, and so claiming to already possess them is convincing rhetoric,

2) painting your opponents as "rejecting" them is also persuasive rhetoric, especially to your uninformed audience.

Claiming that people are actually demonizing them is a mischaracterization.
It's surprisingly easy, depending on your scale/scope of course. But in general, I've managed to build CI/CD pipelines that are tolerant of GitHub (or any service) failures by following these steps:

1. Use as little of the configuration language provided by the CI as possible (prefer shellscripts that you call in CI instead of having each step in a YAML config for example)

2. Make sure static content is in a Git repository (same or different) that is also available on multiple SCM systems (I usually use GitHub + GitLab mirroring + a private VPS that also mirrors GitHub)

3. Have a bastion host for doing updates, make CI push changes via bastion host and have at least four devs (if you're at that scale, otherwise you just) with access to it, requiring multisig of 2 of them to access

Now when the service goes down, you just need 2 developers to sign the login for the bastion host, then manually run the shellscript locally to push your update. You'll always be able to update now :)
There are DOZEN of those apps. The one i use/contribute is https://github.com/numist/Switch

> Pi's will often fail without warning, or their "disk" will become corrupt

You get what you pay for. But this is beating a tired horse that I'm skeptical was ever true to begin with. Are the people with SD card corruption just using crap cards to begin with? I've used a pi4 and rock64 and neither had any disk corruption. Plus you can boot on USB today. And fail without warning? Is that really a thing? No sensor saying there is a heat problem?

You can definitely reach for an industrial product with similar specs. But just keep in mind that niche products may have even less market testing than a Pi. There is some truly crap hardware and software out there that people suffer with simply because it's the only player in the niche.

You can set up a cronjob to sync them, or some have built-in config to do the mirroring [4].

Funny how you call it W3C Web Components when W3C has been marginalized and pushed out of the flow of things by the corporate whatwg. Web Components is not a web standard so much as it is a google standard that other mega-corps have picked up because it's good for mega-corps.

It is not good for human persons or the existing web of documents. It's only good for the megacorps' intended not-web of applications. So this is how the web dies...with thunderous applause.
ROFL, you think too much of yourself if you don't realize that the whole 'I don't care about your feelings, I'm gonna be a very aggressive boy, you just watch me!' isn't a cry for attention. In fact, that kind of behavior is all about people's wokeness or whatever you wanna call it.

Most people get over that kind of mentality by the time they are 20 something and working. Some don't, I guess.
Consumers that are already using (electric) space heaters are already paying $X/mo in electricity.

If they are getting value out of a bitcoin-mining space heater, it is justified to run at any time you want heat, because by getting a BTC rebate of any amount would make it cheaper to run than a space heater.

If enough miners are mining for the purpose of heat, it will push non-heat miners out of the market, because the heat-miners are rationally willing to mine at any price (any 'rebate' on expected electricity->heat costs is useful), whereas the non-heat miners can only rationally mine when btc reward exceeds electricity cost.

(We are a LOOONG way from the majority of miners using the heat, but just wanted to point out there is a hypothetical future where the market could eliminate heat-wasted mining)
I started building Multiverse because of problems like this. Ironically it’s hosted on GitHub. Check it out if you are interested in decentralized VCS and code hosting.

Ideally your CI/CD is just calling Make/Python/Whatever scripts that are one shot actions. You should be able to run the same action locally from a clean git repo (assuming you have the right permissions).

The anti-pattern to watch out for is long, complex scripts that live in your CI system’s config file. These are hard to test and replicate when you need to.
Github folks--this is really getting bad. I find it strange that your leadership will spends weeks of time, and pen hundreds of words about making right the wrongs they created with censorship (see: https://github.blog/2020-11-16-standing-up-for-developers-yo...), yet there's almost no attention given to these major outages that keep happening for a year now.

Where is the acknowledgment of a problem, root-cause analysis, and followup for new practices and engineering to prevent issues? Who is responsible for these issues and what are they doing to make it right? What positions are you hiring for _right now_ to get to work making your service reliable?

That is saying that racism against whites is somehow different from other racism, with the implication that it is not as bad.

good point; I think they might be deploying big features on fridays? as of late I've noticed most of the issues I have seen happen on Fridays.
On case of the AfD it is rather Mccarthy's old outfit deciding to treat his new one as a threat. The Verfassungsschutz, the German federal interior secret service, decided to watch the whole party as threat for democracy. The Verfassungsschutz was headed by a certain Mr. Maaßen who is now touting right wing conspiracies i social media. The minister responsible for the agency once prouded himself of deporting 69 Afghans on his 69s birthday. Ajd they are treating the AfD as a right wing extremist group now. Should tell you something. Or not.

With that out of the way... GH has had a lot of issues in recent months. More than the past. I would hope those things are on a road to being fixed.
There are so many things the author got wrong that this is more of a creative writing than anything.

One of the key thing he got wrong, was that Americans view cheating as bad but Chinese (and rest of the world) do not.

1, our tribal mind naturally groups who we deem as other in groups. so if you identify as American, and see reports that some Chinese groups/individuals steal something, it registers as "Chinese steal"; but if fellow Americans steal, it registers as "Group(like race)/Individual X steals", and the group X is probably not a group you are part of. Also, you hardly hear about people/companies following the law, because those are not news worthy.

2, developing countries tend to be behind not just in economy, but also public consensus and regulation. i.e. ponzi schemes ran rampant during the 80s/90s in China, that's not because Chinese love ponzi schemes more than Americans, but due to Chinese people and regulators not being familiar of those scams. Same is true for IP, copyright, etc, as more Chinese individuals get harmed by those types of theft, the public consensus has been shifting and regulations are catching up.

3, author touched on this, generally speaking, poor and rich people has a higher possibility to cheat, the former due to realization that the system is rigged against them, so taking from the man is justified; the latter, is more of a reverse effect of those who are most skillful at taking from others tend to rise to the top.

Combine this with the effect that the law-abiding American middle class have a higher chance of interacting with the immoral (hackers, IP thieves or just ruthless corporations) or poor (refugees or illegal immigrants) foreign entities than the law-abiding foreign middle class citizens. It's quite easy to come to a conclusion that foreigners are less moral than Americans.

4, as an American, author is probably going to be more familiar with how foreigners steal from Americans than vice versa. For example, do you know that Chinese shows are more widely available on Youtube (illegally) than the reverse?
Technically, that would be a coup (more specifically and auto-coup). That's bad enough. The fear is that it would lead to a dictatorship, which is worse. Whether it's fascism or not would depend on the specific policies of that illegitimately-installed government.

So, if "that's what they mean", they're mis-using the term.
The politics around a decision like this are fascinating. I assume they've already paid in part or in full for the launch, and regardless, they did R&D on a satellite which is itself an asset that is now difficult to return to the owner!
Critical issue: "change master to main across the board"
You really just need a TCP pathway between your CI and some machine with the git repo on it.

Or take your local copy and use git-fu commands to create a bare repo of it that you can compress and put somewhere like S3. Then download it in CI and checkout from that.

Or just tarball your app source, who cares about git, and do the same (s3, give it a direct path to the asset)

All of this is potentialy useless info though. Hard to say without understanding how your CI works. If all you need is the source code, there are a half dozen ways to get that source into CI without git.

In Java arrays or ArrayList usually mean 'of references' so don't get the full cache locality benefit until Valhalla ever gets done. For primitive types, there are numerous primitive collection libraries that use primitive values and optionally object references.
When I built CI stuff at my previous job there were two remote repos that could be cloned from; Github and a repo on a system on the LAN that the CI's user has ssh access. Which one was used was controlled by a toggle-able environment variable in the CI system.
“low scoring games lack the tension you’re talking about”

I think that’s cultural/an acquired taste.

One could argue the outcome of high-scoring games is more predictable, making them less tense.

If, say, on average party A scores a point every minute and party B scores one every 40 seconds, party B will win almost every one hour game against party A (the expected outcome is 90-60), and each individual score is only marginally important. So, why would a spectator be enthousiast about a (missed) score after 20 seconds of play?

If, on other hand, party A scores a goal every 30 minutes and party B one every 20 minutes, party A has a much higher chance of beating party B in a one hour game, and each missed opportunity becomes a potential game changer.

In soccer, some of the most tense games end in 0-0, 1-0, or 0-1 (especially at major tournaments, where, often [1], each result counts)

[1] for one where that wasn’t the case, watch West-Germany against Austria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrace_of_Gijón).
Australia is critically reliant upon shipping which means it needs the support of the world's most dominant naval power.

That unfortunately means sending kids to die in Vietnam.
No, they want other criminals to know they're trustworthy. The risk of doing business is very high in criminal endeavors. People may have (or want to access) great deals to offer but no easy way to safely broker a transaction. This also creates the very conditions for these great deals to exist.
I wonder if they track Github Status traffic volume as some sort of meta-indicator? Is it even viable?

I was futzing around with the description for a PR and hitting save wouldn't update it, yet clicking edit would show the text I expected to see.

Suspecting something was up I checked Github Status but it was green across the board. Assuming enough other people hit the same chain of events, could it provide a reliable enough indicator of an issue?

> But that's a bit beside the topic, the point of which being that relatively few wards operate in the way you describe - and that the way said wards do operate makes Mormonism a potential avenue for exploitation.

I suppose if one loves anything more than truth, goodness, and the other things that lead to long-term joy (extending far beyond this mortality), rather than to regrets, that (which I see as a) misprioritization will always be an avenue for exploitation. Life is, in part, a chance to gain experience and learn, and make choices, in many situations, some very hard. Temptation and a imperfect world and the need we all have, to school, train, and bridle our own thoughts, desires, and habits, toward good things, provide many of those hard situations.
I think the discussion was always sure you can release a feature product and find success. One you reach a certain level bigger players will incorporate your features and you will cease to exist.

Being able to breakout of that feature product into an expanded ecosystem before your product becomes a feature of a bigger platform is the real end game.

> Yay for not even checking Wikipedia.

You should check out yourself, or better yet try to find sources that go into more detail about education in general.

The focus in Russia was strongly on science in the form of technical progress: While education was improved in general, the number one goal was having excellent scientists who'd push the boundaries in every discipline possible. Broad, general improvements of education were an afterthought. You tried to find a wunderkind early and then give it the best career possible.

> I put no timelines on any predictions nor did I make a prediction just a simple comparison to the history of the USSR. Me thinks you didn't even read the original comment.

You aren't the person I replied to.

Quite an entertaining comparison.
It means that I can download a generic aarch64 OS image instead of needing the special pi image that knows how to work with its nonstandard boot sequence.
>It may seem narrower to people who's views are sliding out of the window, but I see no evidence that the overton window in the US is any narrower now than say, the 1950's.

I can probably think of several views supported by the median American in 2021 (or at least 30% of Americans) that would get you summarily dismissed from most high-visibility jobs if publicly expressed. You probably could too.

What views in the 1950s do you think were similar? Again, there was undoubtedly an Overton Window in the 1950s. What's peculiar about 2020s cancel culture imo, however, is how zealously it goes after people who hold views that are extremely common among the broader population.

It would be interesting to include MGRS and UTM systems in this.
Presumably, manually running builds locally is an automatic failsafe option if you have the same people around who originally set the build pipeline up in the first place.

In 2021, basic business continuity plans for software companies should incorporate these sorts of concerns. You should have a published procedure somewhere that a person could follow for producing the final build artifacts of your software on any machine once backups are made available. Situations like these are why I check in 100% of my dependencies to source control as well.

It seems to me that these discussions always trend towards something like "why are all the people complaining about witch burning so witchey?"

I won't defend this guy, I believe you regarding the baggage, I just think that ignoring voices like that is part of the problem here.

I've disagreed with you many times on many things, but I still think it's worth listening to you because you have a point of view that merits serious consideration that should not be dismissed without looking past the speaker to the content of what is said.

We often talk about 'filter bubbles' but the most important one has always existed in our own minds. It becomes an issue when we end up marking serious points by serious thinkers as if they were mere spam that we don't want to do any intellectual work to deal with. This isn't to suggest that we can read and consider everything by everyone, attention is always going to be limited, but we need to be aware of our own spam filter that we're avoiding dealing with all the people saying X because we find the idea dislikeable, leaving us with a less-considered position on the subject.

Also, the pricing on this is pretty far off base (obnoxiously so). IMO a "fair price" for the value should be something like $10 for a site license, a price I've observed people pay countless times for similar tools[1] I don't get why this would be selling at such a premium, especially in the growth phase, and couldn't imagine how expensive this would get when they try to improve revenue/user in later iterations!

Every industry and workplace has robotic people who just want to check off a form. In each case you have to engage with them (or somebody else) to address the immediate problem, like "this report is inaccurate". Usually I send an email explaining my position and CC my boss, my boss's boss, and the robot's boss, and if they're good managers, they'll fix it.
