The way that's written like Ethereum owes the miners a job strange. Ethereum isn't a work program for miners to manage mining hardware. Ethereum functions on proof-of-work and needs some people to sell their compute time and electricity. Miners aren't doing a generous service that would be useful outside of Ethereum that should be encouraged any further than Ethereum's specific needs.

With PoS, the pay for miners is planned to be cut from 3 eth all the way down to 0, and that's great that Ethereum will become more efficient in that it no longer needs so much compute time spent on it. Ethereum will switch to needing stakers to provide a service to it that they're paid for, but if people designing Ethereum knew a way to not require that while still staying decentralized, then that would also be a great upgrade.
True, Taproot is looking promising. Yet, it's the only major change since 2017, I don't think they're moving fast enough.

And what's the next major improvement on the cards for Bitcoin after Taproot? I haven't heard much, and that is worrying in and of itself IMO.

The Case for Speed-Watching
I think if anything the crypto-experiment has revealed is that an uncaring, cold machine doesn't meet the needs of the human condition. A person fat-fingers his life savings to null, a thief socially engineers someone's money, a bug causes assets to be trapped, etc. It's clear we need a better system that can service our imperfections.

(2017), it would be nice to see updated data on this. But of course the basic point stands.
I'd like to see the industry move towards proof-carrying code. This takes decideability checking one step farther: not only does your driver have to be decideable, you have to prove that ahead of time and include a proof that can be checked in linear-time right along with the binary. At that point even signatures become redundant; you don't need to trust any central authority if you have proof of the programs validity right there.
The only thing they've ever really cried about is the salaries they have to pay to get the workers they want.

With remote work becoming more of an option, the candidate pool is larger, and so the salaries they have to pay to get the workers they want are going to go down.

Busses are the thing that needs to be self-driving first (after trains, which can already be). Combined with automated passing spots.

The worst about busses is when they come every 30 min, but already arrive full. Or when they have more than one bus for a given timeslot and don't dock the less-full bus first.

> Loss of biodiversity? Sea level change? Loss of ice sheets? You can't pay a tax somewhere and unshatter that glass.

Sea level change and ice sheets are a result of climate change and thus can be offset with carbon offsets; they're the poster child for the concept.

I don't recognize loss of biodiversity as damage.

> Oh, not even close, not if even if there were less than 1 billion humans on Earth. None of those things is sustainable in the long run.

Those things are negligible footnotes in the long run. And all of those things, including the plastic bags, can be run off solar. All it needs are the right incentives.
„No result found“
It’s a bunch of stuff you can get for free and web based by googling. It’s probably more convenient for me to use the free ones because I can the have a list of bookmarks to the things I use. Also there are free dev tools out there I might need that are not in this kit, so I’d need that anyway.
Whoever gets too hung up on this must've never had to hire people to do what the DevOps culture they so want to implement needs.

If your plan is to just hire software engineers, you're going to have confused applicants, if your plan is to hire sysadmins, they probably will have a different skillset than you need. Most real companies hire DevOps engineers because that's the way to get the people with the skillsets you need.

Being so purist about this sounds to me like useless debate, but maybe you have better suggestions.

At my current place we stopped hiring DevOps and started hiring SREs + software engineers for specific internal teams, but for a few years there between 2010-2020, good luck getting people with DevOps skills without actually advertising DevOps roles.

Calling miners “the working class” is a misleading label no doubt chosen to instill sympathy. By that measure, factory owners in the industrial revolution were the working class.

Renewable power -> use as much AC as you want; it's not a problem.

More power demand -> more renewable power because it's the cheapest way to get more power.

More renewable power -> all expensive/dirty forms of energy become less attractive.

That's a dynamic that's been playing out over the last few decades. Lots of coal plants are closing. Gas plants are getting a lot less attractive as well for the same reasons.

2050 is a year where lots of countries want to be carbon neutral; that's only 29 years from now. Once we are, you can install as much AC as you want/need without having to worry about adding CO2 to the atmosphere. If you have solar on your roof, you can chill your house guilt free right now.

It also reduces the amount of reposts, on Reddit, Instagram and Twitter it's full of 'forwards from grandma', which can disappoint users. But when users get served the original post by default, reposts will gain less traction, and in addition the original creator is more likely to gain followers from their old popular posts.
This paper seems to use an un-optimized Bloom filter implementation. It also lists cuckoo filters to be 10 times faster than Bloom filters. In other papers, e.g. the cuckoo filter paper and the xor filter paper, the difference is _much_ smaller; maybe factor 2.

You can certainly advertise a DevOps culture in a listing that isn't for a DevOps engineer, it's not mutually exclusive.

> You can surmise that FB will put its interests over your own, but you can bet that a Chinese owned media will actively look to harm you and the place you live, it's just a matter of time.

There are plenty of powerful domestic actors that actively want to harm particular groups of people. Sometimes the cruelty and the harm is the point. Sometimes it's just a distraction, intended to pit half the country against the other half, while they get away with highway robbery. Sometimes it's because they are sociopaths on a massive ego trip.

And I'm not talking about Facebook's leadership, here. You are correct that it just wants to make money.
Indeed. A lot of it is the failing of the government to offer meaty incentives/subsidies for these upgrades. Unfortunately the US still doesn't take climate change seriously or they'd do more than pay lip service to green initiatives. They'd actually incentive people to put in double pane windows or heat pumps or ceiling fans. I'm not even talking about urbanism and city design here, just help the existing renters and owners of SFHs in the US.

According to this Lancet study, about 5M die from cold globally, annually, while about 500K die from heat:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5...

I found the article through this link:
https://news.emory.edu/stories/2021/07/climate_change_heat_r...

Interestingly, the emory link did not quote how many deaths were due to cold vs heat, but it did say that cold related deaths were going down and heat related deaths were going up.

By cherry picking just the part of the article that support a global warming narrative, but leaving out that cold is still, by far, the main danger, emory is seriously misrepresenting the science, imo.

Btw, the Guardian coverage for the same article is only slightly better:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/08/extreme-temper...

While it does mention that cold kills more, it does not mention that the ratio is 10:1 in the study.

Short enough to hopefully nudge people into immediately writing the whole thing off as a terrible idea and then choosing not to enable it.

Apparently dumb shit like this is what Moxie had in mind when he wrote the infamous blog post about why disallowing personal (patched) builds and third party clients gives them the advantage of being able to control the user experience in a way that they wouldn't be able to if people were using an unsanctioned client.
I think it's good that you took the time to write such a detailed post, certainly better than mine in a lot of ways.

I agree that Development should be mostly self-service and that the goal of any "Ops" person is to get out of the way. "Automate yourself out of a job" is a common sysadmin mantra.

However I don't agree with your other points, there's some over exaggeration when you say "if devops doesn't exist then thats a red flag", if devops can mean anything then it's a useless term and absence of it shouldn't be seen as a red flag.

>Shoud DevOps engineer be a role? Yes. Absolutely.

Small typo here, and of course I disagree with the statement and preceding paragraph.

I think "Platform Engineer" is closer to what your definition of DevOps is.

The point of my post is that everyone has their own definition, which is why I'm frustrated at the term.

> Infrastructure Engineer

Regarding this... This is actually my job title right now, but it exists outside of computing: "Infrastructure Engineer" being the kind of person who makes bridges and roads and so on.
There's plenty wrong with Ethereum, but casting miners as 'the working class' is a flawed analogy. The mercantile class would be closer to the mark. Notably, their hashing power is based in real world economic power and they extract an annuity from capital expenditure on mining operations and hardware.

I also question whether miners are really providing the labour power, as you might expect the working class to do. They build the roads and keep the lights on but the means of production of value is (or ought to be) the services provided by those writing functionality that makes the network useful, i.e. the smart contract writers. Whether one thinks smart contracts on Ethereum have any value is another question but that was at least the vision.

A move to proof-of-stake does not remove the role of miners/validators. Validators will still earn a reward from validating blocks. So it's not as if this 'class' is being disenfranchised totally.

Finally the social class analogy entails disjointness of classes, this is certainly not the case for miners, many of whom are major token holders, and some of whom are involved in governance (of course by miners we are taking about the humans controlling the mining rigs not the computers themselves)

You still need some criterion to verify against. The Static Driver Verifier is successful because its criterion is just "will not blither all over memory" or make an incorrect API call. Passing the check doesn't mean the driver will drive the device properly, but it shouldn't crash the kernel. Or offer buffer overflow exploits.

Yes I got it, but not because I'm particularly worried about getting covid. I got it because it seems to be the only avenue back to normal life. The risks with taking the vaccine are nominal (way less dangerous than the virus), but the potential benefit of things going back to normal is very high. In my opinion, unless you have a strong medical case for not getting it, there is no reason not to get it.

I don't think doom and gloom made reddit less interesting. I think it is the opposite that some power users feel appointed to clean up anything they do not like or classify as misinformation. Although these "hot to get rich" posts certainly are nothing but.

TikTok is certainly not solving the Eternal September problem, it is accelerating it if it doesn't keep some groups separated at least. There is really good content, but there has been on Twitter and reddit too at first.

But only light-hearted content and artificial positivity can also be worse than doom and gloom in some cases. Political incorrect jokes are sometimes enjoyable. Not everything needs to be a message with the latest hot takes in pedagogy that don't even make too much sense.

I think healthy communities still don't take internet comments too seriously.

Early versions of Internet Explorer used to follow this and prompt about cookie storage all the time, to everybody’s great annoyance. Eventually it defaulted to always allow.

Now with GDPR prompts we’ve come full circle, but instead get the UI of the web site instead of the user agent, allowing all kinds of dark patterns to be exploited and requiring re-prompts all the time for those of us who don’t allow the page to keep cookies in the agent.

It all began just before the pandemic, when I saw some YouTube videos about crow intelligence that blew me away. There were crows all over my neighbourhood, so I left out peanuts on my balcony, and eventually a crow started coming by to get them. I would replenish them at night and the crow would come the next day.

After I did this consistently for a while, the crow came every morning. So then I decided to hide the peanuts in a container. I had a retainer case that springs open when you press on a button; I taped it to the railing and left it open with a peanut in it. The crow was very suspicious of it at first, giving it a wide berth while examining it from all sides. It took about a week for it to work up the courage to steal the peanut from the open container, and then another week for it to get used to the idea that the container wasn't going to cause it harm. Then I closed the container.

The crow learned to peck the button to pop open the retainer case, and that's when I got hooked. The crow brought over its partner, and later in the spring as I was stuck at home in lockdown, its fledgling came along too, and they would show the fledgling how to get the peanuts. I started putting out a series of different containers, and then eventually got them a dog intelligence toy, which they aced. I think these crows aren't as smart as the New Caledonian crows in the videos; it takes them a few days or weeks of experimenting to figure out a puzzle. It got to the point where I had four or five crows basically chilling at my house on most days, playing with the toys and taking baths and discussing the puzzles. I have way too much webcam footage of all this, which I've been meaning to post but haven't had the time to sort through and edit.

I have since moved to a new house and had to say goodbye to those crows. :( I have new crow friends now, though! I toss them peanuts whenever I see them on my street, and now they will follow me for a couple blocks if I walk by. This time I've made them a nice platform to land on, and they're learning to open containers, and are starting to play with a dog intelligence toy now.

There is nothing wrong with technical solutions to social problems per se. For example, sovereigns tend to spy on their citizenry, and the technical solutions of cryptography and steganography help mitigate that, albeit in a limited way.

The problem with Bitcoin at al is that they propose wrong solutions to ill defined social problems. Absolutely no real macroeconomic insight was put in the initial bitcoin halving block reward. Later adopters invested it with magic ability to forever stop "inflation", ill defined as taxation through monetary expansion. What resulted was a highly speculative asset that even 10 years later shows no signs of macrostability and is prone to losing 50% of its value in a single trading day. The social costs of using such a monetary unit day to day would be orders of magnitude higher than any reasonable inflation.

Another ill defined problem was financial privacy. In most cryptos, there is no way to socially cooperate to reliably
limit financial privacy of bad players. What you get is an excelent system for teleporting a wad of cash across borders - if you can stomach the volatility. And it just so happens there is a substantial "market" that requires this laundry service and would gladly pay 10% or so to transform illicit gains into "crypto investements".

There are 4 broad scenarios according to which (or a combination thereof) the climate emergency will develop:

1) In a giant case of prisoners' dilemma, the humanity will coordinate worldwide and rise to the occasion, massively cut emissions, tax carbon, build out renewables, etc.

2) There will be massive technological breakthru-s in carbon capture and/or energy production and/or geo-engineering (and I am not talking about things like nuclear, where the tech is mostly there but the rising-to-the-occasion bit is missing).

3) Somehow, the models and projections would turn out to be overblown, or the more mellow of the serious models that project we lose N% GDP or whatever would turn out to be correct.

4) We're doomed, doomed!

In the ideal world, this is always a valid suggestion, but, sadly, we're not in one. It only really works in unsaturated job markets (when everyone can get a job), preferably with high learning curves (so threatening to leave can become a leverage by itself).

> By burning the working class’ money, the ruling class and wealthy class end up with a larger piece of the overall pie. It’s ingenious. Evil, but ingenious.

The arguments in the article would have carried more weight without the loaded language. Miners are more like banks in a fiat system rather than 'working class'. Pay cuts for middle-men means increase in efficiency of the system. Very evil indeed.
