The truth lies in admitting actual productivity. He's claiming 0.68 or 5 hours and 26 minutes of productivity when WFH. That's a huge number to have both consistently and exceptionally. I bet the average person gets 2-3/day if they're honest about it.

How do the backend devs test changes to the API and to the DB schema? Are they not running versions locally themselves? Can the frontend devs just do whatever the backend devs do?

> The frontend team would need to be instructed to "pull the changes"/"spin up new image".

With a small investment in tooling you can probably get away without asking too much of frontend devs.

Write your "launch local api" script (checked into the frontend repository) to just work without taking any parameters: put the latest docker image tag into version control. If you have a `latest` tag for your image then you don't even need to update the frontend repo, instead you can just always pull the image as part of the launch script. Anyone working on an API dev branch can just replace the image tag (either in the script, or you can provide a flag to override it).

Write your launch script to also start up the database if it's not running. You can check at API startup whether the db version matches the API, and inform the dev if there's a mismatch.
Pretty much, yeah.

Short story as I watched it: Tanenbaum got a couple grants totalling several million Euro. He hired some of his grad students to work on making it a production system. They made a lot of improvements, research-wise, but they also sort of made a mess of things. What they didn't do is set up any reasonable project infrastructure (e.g., a bug tracker) that would allow Minix as a project to grow into a healthy, thriving project at a size beyond those who were being paid to work on it, and for it to outlive their interest in it. The userspace was largely replaced by NetBSD's, and that involved clang replacing ack, so builds went from ~10 minutes to 3+ hours. Lots of small stuff like this, adding up to a project where no one is willing to exercise ownership and few outsiders are equipped to deal with it in its current state (even if interested).

The best thing that you could do if you want Minix to be a thing is to prepare yourself for a deep dive and not look to "the community" with the belief that there is some consensus/approval to be had. Take charge in a fork of your own and make it the project you want it to be. If you wait for anyone else to take ownership, you're going to be waiting for a long time. If Minix is "dead", it's because poor ownership + the bystander effect killed it.

Shades of excuses #1, #2, and #3 from jwz's "nomo zilla" are pretty appropriate here as well.
Discontinued software can still be usable for a very long time. Proper written applications like Office can work on Windows versions that are decades older than itself, or the worst case continue working on VMs until the end of time, like those legacy apps that are still running from before the 90s.
When I built my pc the cpu came with some free game or game coupon or something. It wasn’t in the box, I instead had to download and run some AMD software that verified that I was in fact using the CPU. I’m under the impression that it detected my specific CPU not just make/model but some sort of unique ID. Presumably this stops people from claiming the code and reselling the cpu,(or at least without reselling it as “new”) or from spinning up a VM and trying to redeem random promos without owning the real CPU.

Thought it was interesting that they did that but didn’t think much more of it. I don’t even remember what the promo was. Might have just been extended warranty or something?

Their video is from 2016, yours is from the last six months.

"FSD Beta," which incidentally they told CA DMV was emphatically not full self-driving[0], hasn't been around for the vast majority of time that that video has been online so using it as an excuse is disingenuous. Plus Tesla's own words in their emails disprove this anyway.

I see two problems here: 1) because "betas" are often used for marketing promotions or sold, there is actually an expectation that they be pretty complete for many customers 2) if it's really "beta" and not safe to use, I'm not sure that drivers should be allowed to unilaterally make everyone else around them beta testers.
Exploit? Really? They pay money and get a car that most seem very happy with. Where is the exploitation?

There’s been a gross overusage of the word exploit in the past 10 years or so. Just because you personally don’t find something to be a good deal doesn’t mean it’s exploitative.

Exploitation would involve taking advantage of someone in constrained circumstances to coerce them into doing something they would rather not do. This does not describe one single person who is capable of affording a Tesla.
You must be talking about Vern Unsworth? He's NOT a diver and did not rescue anybody. He was a "cave expert".

He was enjoying the limelight and was pretty hostile to anyone/anything that was taking the attention away from him. He also wanted to make money from it.

Most shockingly. He said "I will make the divers sugger [sic] for leaving us out of the loop "

> For futureproofing it, perhaps make a Docker container of it

You can't (directly) put an OS in a Docker container. Docker is an application container technology, not an OS virtualisation technology. Apps inside Docker run in user mode under the Linux (or less commonly, Windows) kernel.

What you can do, is put an emulator in Docker, and put the OS in the emulator image. However, if your OS runs on a common platform (e.g x86 or x86-64), there is probably not much value to creating a Docker container vs just serving up the VM (such as a disk image or OVA file) for use with QEMU or VirtualBox or whatever.

If you are dealing with a more obscure platform, it can make more sense to package the image and emulator together into a Docker container. For example, I put the 1970s vintage IBM mainframe operating system MVS 3.8J [0] in a Docker container. I think that makes more sense because it requires a less common emulator (Hercules as opposed to QEMU or whatever), and Hercules needs to be configured with a specific configuration to make it work.

No, it doesn't. It's only theoretically easy to implement. In practice, they explode the size of the underlying FSM. Moreover, in a command line tool, it's somewhat easy to work around that through the `-v` switch and shell pipelining.

Paul's talk introduced redgrep is amazing by the way. Give it a watch if you haven't yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ukqb6nMjFyk

Lol, in the end, Andrew S. Tanenbaum won the operating systems wars[*], since MINIX is apparently likely now the most widely used operating system in the world: https://www.networkworld.com/article/3236064/minix-the-most-...

Interestingly, Linux might be right behind it, at second place, dominating servers, cars, and all sorts of industrial devices.

But funnily enough in the end, when it comes to laptop and desktop computers, the Windows NT kernel, and the macOS Darwin kernel are still the reigning champions. It’s funny, because I think in the 90s, every OS designer was trying to take the place of MS-DOS/Windows/Mac. The two flamewar[*] buddies won out in the end, but likely not in the market segments they had initially expected to win.

"You are in Bach" - Even Mr Google's finest should surely realise this is nonsense or somewhat painful and anachronistic.

"and said Amen> Arr" - Pirates?

I understand that translation is a hard problem but why not put in a post processor that looks for obvious flaws and calls out crap? It would surely not be too hard to get some basics fixed up. That could even feed back into the translation thingie to adjust it in some way. Even if it can't fix the problem the feedback mechanism can simply call out the aberration and mark it up or even delete it and replace with "work in progress" or whatever. It is disingenuous to produce crap. Bear in mind this might be used by those who can't read or understand either the source or the destination languages.

There is no way on earth you can convince me to allow a phrase like: "You are in Bach" to go unchallenged. The initial capitalisation of Bach implies that the translator has decided that it has seen the name Bach, ie the composer. It also attributes another set of squiggles to "You" - again it has bothered to capitalise things properly to account for the start of a sentence. So far so good and all grammatically fine. Then it loses the plot. How on earth can "you" be in "Bach"? This must be basic expert systems stuff.
Has anyone built a production grade regex engine using derivatives? I don't think I've seen one. I personally always get stuck at how to handle things like captures or the very large Unicode character classes. Or hacking in look-around.

There is truth to this in aerospace: components will be qualified to the design life of the vehicle, but the qualification campaign is intentionally conservative to envelope all possibilities and uncertainty. When the actual conditions are more benign, more life can generally be expected.

Additionally as another case, Hubble has been continuously losing gyroscopes since it was first launched. Some or all gyros were replaced during most shuttle servicing missions. Seeing the writing on the wall for servicing missions post-Columbia, NASA developed software to operate with fewer gyros at a time, allowing for fewer to be spun up at any time, but importantly, allowing for the telescope to continue to operate after more than 3 of 6 gyros had failed. The key here is that engineers can often coax more performance out of a damaged (or otherwise limited) subsystem given the incentive- this has been the case in my aerospace experience, and seemed mirrored with Hubble too.
I didn't consider it to be flowery.

My oldest son likely qualifies for a diagnosis somewhere on the autism spectrum. He was never formally diagnosed because I homeschooled him, so I didn't need a diagnosis to accommodate his needs. I was his teacher and his mom and I could be kind to my child because I felt like it without filling out forms and defending my right to help him make his life work.

He thinks in pictures and talking with him sometimes feels a little like talking to someone who speaks English as a second language because he makes odd language errors of the same sort as he translates my words into pictures in his mind and then translates pictures in his mind into words to engage in conversation.

Given that this is a labor intensive thing for him, it's hardly shocking he's not very social. Given that a picture is worth a thousand words, he can also be very verbose when you do get him talking.

He's in his thirties and still lives with me. Over the course of more than three decades I have gotten into the habit of using image-rich language because it's more effective communication for dealing with my child.

I adore him and think he's funny and wonderful and the apple of my eye. I've always found him delightful and I wondered why he did so many weird things as a kid rather than wondering how to break him and force him to "act normal."

I have speculated at times that my words seem to be powerful because of this habitual image-rich communication style. That's a two-edged sword and sometimes gets me in hot water when my words hit hard on sensitive subjects.

It's possible I didn't think it flowery because of this aspect of my life. And, so, I don't know what you are talking about or what relevance that has to my frustrations with a world that wants to say "These kids are defective" instead of wondering at what widespread changes have led to this seemingly sudden "epidemic" of supposedly defective kids who supposedly have sensory issues, lack social skills, etc.

> Under normal conditions, highly virulent strains of the virus are not selected. A highly virulent strain would kill the host before the virus would have an opportunity to transmit to other potential hosts and replicate. Thus, less virulent strains are selected.

This is not correct. What is selected against is deadliness, which is not correctly referred to as "virulence."

By example, the virulence of the kind of herpes that most Americans call "cold sores" is off the charts: you can get it from a single kiss. But because the host barely notices, it's not a big deal.

Similarly, a great number of diseases occur to AIDS patients because they're omnipresent, but cause no harm in normal conditions.

Don't even get me started on mononucleosis.

And then, of course, this is just a generalization; measles and many kinds of meningitis are ridiculously virulent, as well as extremely deadly.
Charging people 10k for a feature that will not be released during the lifetime of their car seems pretty exploitative to me.

Plus, some occasional free development from PRs.

The number of times where I would be HAPPY to work on a project for free to fix an issue or add a feature I want - I couldn't count.

For conversation's sake, my non-scientific guesses on this are that autism may be caused by one of the following:

1) A result of humans living longer and therefore having babies at a later age (i.e. older sperm and eggs)

2) A stage in human evolution where the human body is trying to figure out how to maximize efficient brain power in relation to amount of energy available (i.e. our caveman instincts aren't as important nowadays, so what brainpower-energy could be shifted elsewhere?")

3) Something unnatural that's recently been introduced to human life (which I feel like should be able to be figured out if the families of autistic people answered extensive questionnaires without lobbyists getting in the way).
My question is probably off because I lack the knowledge but how do the commercial games/game engines do this then if this is such a rocket science? Something like Fortnite or an aged GTA do what you've described (downloading assets on demand without any fps-drop) for quite some time now.

For some reason this all brings to mind the very early 1900s, when every shady food manufacturer was slapping any label of ingredients on its cans, deceiving (or at best, confusing) the public with different or convoluted definitions, arbitrary standards of quality, made up terminology, hawking their brand of particular wares as honest while the rest was not.

You would be at a disadvantage to tell the truth in such an environment.

And then finally the FDA came along, when people (or Congress) had had enough of it. They laid out what certain words and terms meant, and what was allowed to be claimed. Sometimes I think we forget how much this was once needed, and that it doesn't just magically solve itself.

Right - that argument, I'm suggesting, is way beyond most fourth graders even in its modern algebraic form. It relies on lots of algebraic techniques that aren't generally taught until 7th or 8th grade.
