I first read this problem:

micro-management, red tape, overly bureaucratic processes, and a lack of developer autonomy

and then this:

essentially have no process. Everything is ad hoc, nothing is written down, deployment is a manual process, and there are meetings and interruptions all the time

They weird thing about enterprise is: I see both happen at the same time.

We have an issue tracker, but its a bad product and the metrics are heavily politicized. So we track our issues in excel. No way to know on whose excel your name appears.

We have a document sharing platform, but the fine grained access control makes it impossible to let the relevant people read the document. So we mail different versions around and forget to update the central truth.

We have architecture documents, but they have nothing to do with what runs in reality. We can't document what runs in reality because it would conflict with the offical architecture documents.

We have a release process that takes a week or a month, and many paper is written about risk and impact, test plans, deployment plans, resource availability, etc... But the actual risks must stay unspoken lest the release is cancelled. Tests were done on an environment that is forbidden to resemble production. People ignore the deployment plan and do whatever they like, and thank god because the deployment plan is unusable. People are not available when things go wrong, because the deployment plan booked them for 2 days for doing 5 minutes of work and they decided their part was done.

The worst problem: Instituting any real process is impossible, because officially there already is one.
Wow, really suprised to see someone else speaking my mind. I went to Australia, from the US, with the perception that Australia was wild country where people were free and independent. Sort of like if I lived in rural Arizona or Idaho or something.

But what I found was an ultra-tedious nitpicky rules and control mindset. Really turned me off.

Just surprised to see someone else say similar.
Australia barely protests about anything, and when a group of passionate people finally standup for something they believe in, they generally are ridiculed. Politicians squash any kind of dissent, even passing laws restricting protests. This isnt about antivax/anti-lockdown protests either, im talking about climate change, social inequality, workers rights etc.

Australia is a largely apathetic country, complacent because of their own wealth and removal from the international community.

But the situation is going to turn quite negatively for Australia, its becoming progressively worse because nobody actually believes in anything fundamental. We keep installing savvy businessmen politicians rather than people with a longterm vision for the country.

The result is exacerbating social problems. It makes you think where the countries priorities are when homelessness in Melbourne has gotten terribly worse in the past 7 years. People rather maximise their gains on the property market, borrowing exorbitant amounts of money to buy property they cant really afford, meanwhile devaluing the currency.

The result is the social fabric of a nation disintegrating.
Based on what I've heard/read a lot of us would fail our own immigration test on Australian knowledge.

I grew up here in our system and was only vaguely aware there was even a second verse in our national anthem. The people trying to become citizens here and have only been here for a short time knew _all_ the words.
Google's policy is to scan everything in your account, not just your email, and they have been doing so for the past decade.

Apple is adding a much more private way to scan your iCloud photos only.

If your cryptocurrency scheme pays more than a loan does, then you could have "free" loans by funding them with your cryptocurrency scheme.

Of course, if your cryptocurrency scheme pays a lot one could just get rich from the cryptocurrency scheme. Everything else just consists of pretending that risks don't exist.
Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

I'm confused... What exactly do you think satire is???
There is a new short series one called Pine Gap. Not that great but fun enough.
And as expected there is an influx of pro-Russian whataboutists trying to shift the blame.
> Ironically simplifying it like you just did is one of the contributors to the diminished reverence for science in that part of the world.

No, that was religion (or one particular religion) and its adherents. Remove the religion and the simplification ceases to be a factor, hence the simplification isn't really a factor, only what is necessary gets to be called a cause.
Then you should consider supporting NOYB, as they want to make what you want easier for you.

If you did try to pursue the EU, I think you would quickly meet the counter argument that there are many people who are unhappy being tracked in detail systematically without consent, and would be even more if they knew the extent of it, so it would not be ok to make your preference just be how it is for everyone.
Haha, exactly the same experience, but more recent, and in Poland. In Eastern Europe this is exactly what a "respected" school means.

Olympiadnikas and nomenclature in particular bring back a lot of memories.
Is there a specific school of design (or something I can Google) about low tech architecture designed for high temperatures?

I live in Phoenix and while I’m sure this wind catcher technology would help in the months leading up to and following summer, having a 110° pushed through a house doesn’t sound optimal. I am very interested in the field though! Maybe there’s something that would work even here.

At the level of nations, reporting war crimes doesn’t prevent a state from doing anything else. 1 reporter per million people is less than a rounding error.
Also, nothing is even close to matching the ability of C++ to build against other C++.

Even if Rust had Rust alternatives for enough of the interesting niches, it will take a loooong time for all the relevant software to either get rewritten or reach end of life.
The font scaling was available in the previous Firefox on Android (i.e. ≤ 68), too, but it had been disabled by default for a long time because while it does make text more readable on pages written without mobile phones in mind, it can also cause some layout breakage on some pages, and there was a little tug-of-war between people preferring the former even at the cost of some possible layout breakage, and those wanting to avoid the latter even at the cost of unreadable text.
If you knew about it, it could still be re-enabled through the regular settings, though.

After having fixed a few bugs in that regard, I pushed for giving re-enabling it by default another try with the rewritten browser, and so far that decision luckily (from my point of view) seems to have stuck.

Additionally, it has recently turned out that for pages specifying an explicit desktop-sized viewport (i.e something like meta name="viewport" content="width=1024", as opposed to either using nothing at all, which gives the standard desktop-size viewport of 980 px, or "width=device-width", meaning it's a mobile-friendly responsive layout), there was a long-standing bug meaning that the font scaling for desktop-style pages was erroneously being deactivated on xxhdpi-phones.

This latter bug affects the desktop versions of both Reddit and Slashdot for example, as both of those are using an explicitly sized viewport. It has now been fixed in Firefox 93 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1685756)
Who are the “everyone” in your first sentence? Being out of debt is a goal for most people — but it’s not true that it’s just as doable as it used to be, particularly in the United States.

Middle-class wages started falling behind in the Reagan-era, and a number of costs are more daunting than they used to be: education is both more a requirement and far more expensive than it was then, in many areas housing is hard for younger people to get into with a lack of affordable starter housing and commute costs are significant due to the transportation system having been rebuilt around expensive mostly single-user vehicles which spend 90% of the day idle (15% or more of the average American’s income). Healthcare costs are an especially American barrier to savings: far higher than anywhere else in the world, and they tend to carry over disproportionately to non-rich families — maybe you’re young and healthy, but you end up helping older relatives instead of saving or you inherit nothing when they die.

I’ve always lived well below my means but I’m also appreciative of how much that depended on advantages not everyone has. That can be small things (e.g. as a white male programmer, I didn’t have to spend many hours of work on business formal clothing as did many people I’ve known in various office and sales jobs) to big things: I became a homeowner with no family assistance at age 20 thanks to the dotcom economy - people I know who weren’t in tech at that point or who lived in a place like SF where public policy has favored keeping housing expensive instead spent years paying a higher percentage of their income in rent or paying significantly more time and money on long commutes.

I mention all of this because there’s a key factor to savings: a realistic chance of seeing real benefits from doing so. There are always people who are irresponsible or have problems but quite often when you see something you think is irresponsible there’s more going on than you might think. For example, I heard people of my father’s generation comment to the effect of “black people spend too much on their cars” – which was true from what they saw because the invisible part was redlining and less structural racism meant that they were competing for fewer houses and paying higher mortgage rates to do so, and if you are frozen out of the housing market a car is probably the biggest thing you can invest in.
While that is technically accurate, a "working class" person living in an area where there is $128/sqft homes is not making enough to afford a 6,700 sq ft home...

So sure you may be able to say working class in some other area makes enough to afford a similar PRICED home in their area, but that similar priced home in say LA would be 1/3 the size

The median income in Omaha is 32,305 (USD) going off even 4x income to debt ratio that would be a home price $129,220 or about 1,000 sq foot, not too far off the average home size of 1300-1500 for a normal ranch home

in our next update we will be improving trim support and adding condition specific values.

we pushed out this initial version that collects this information but we are finding some specific trims don't have enough data yet so we fallback to a year make model zip code estimate.

i have seen both cases where trim provides a more specific price but also where we don't have enough trim specific information yet and we have to ignore trim.

condition will be factored in in our next update but we are hearing from our dealership customers that they want some more details on "condition" including damage.

one of the reasons we initially had VIN in the user flow is because we can generate a lot of vehicle condition/history information in the background and not have to require a user enter vehicle history manually however collecting VIN was clearly a deal breaker especially for privacy focused communities like hacker news.

thanks for testing this out!

That is a good question, which I can't exactly answer

But in general if you create regulation for companies to produce less trash, explore all natural resources responsibly. Invest all public money and outsource contracts to the most environmentally friendly companies...

You don't need to punish the market
If you just keep the current public investment in environmental R&D and eventually you'll have the better product, and who invested will be rich... just standard stuff really

Also people in general were always in favour of clean and green. The only issue has been and will be corporate greed

A Corporate carbon tax would be interesting if all profits went local first. And people decided where it should go
Ya, for messaging, "wet bulb" doesn't work well. We need a more intuitive phrase, like a "wind chill factor" for heat + humidity = danger.

Edit: chewing on "wet heat factor". What do you think? Cliches like "but it's a 'dry heat' harhar" are already common. So "wet heat" might click.
Looking to the Atlantic for an opinion on the Far-Right is like asking the Telegraph for an opinion on immigration. The best you can hope for is a lot of preaching to the choir.
The rest of the landing page seems squarely geared at educators giving lessons via video calls.

With that in mind I think the landing page set a good tone for what and who they're trying to sell to, and that doesn't include "meetings between peers in a professional context"
I do a lot of this kind of work on the consulting side, and the interview process is critical to establishing buy-in from the essential stakeholders. You have to understand the pain points because without that, you won’t build the right thing for the way the company operates.

The most common hurdle is simply that most developers buried in enterprise software dev have no familiarity with the cloud or foundational DevOps tech like infra as code. So we typically end up building some form of deployment mechanism cobbled together with packer and terraform, but the real value in bringing in outside help is that we handle training and change management necessary to actually drive adoption.

“Build it and they will come” is a terrible design philosophy. You can’t just stand up a platform team and expect it to go well: a more transformational mindset inclusive of org design and strategic outlook is required, and this type of DevOps / SRE transformation is no less of a radical change than HR or finance transformation programs.
cool. thank you for trying it out.

Skilled immigration is neocolonialism. I truly can't believe how many (supposedly enlightened) people I've had try to tell me with a straight face how wonderful it is to have all these doctors/engineers/etc coming to their country, and how great it is for their economy and healthcare system etc.

Like, you don't think all the people in India or The Philippines or Chad need doctors or economic advancement?? It's just incredibly greedy and selfish. Can you imagine what a person who has just lost their child due to a preventable illness from being unable to see a doctor think when they hear some privileged person from an unimaginably wealthy country that already has an order of magnitude more doctors per capita and whose children will never see the suffering theirs routinely do -- boasting how wonderful it is that they are harvesting all the best healthcare workers from their country. Makes you shudder to think about it really.

These same people will bemoan a corporation from their country going to another one to conduct a resource extraction business (exploitation!) and yet when it comes to their own interests, they are quite happy to take and exploit a less well off country's most valuable resource which is its human capital.
I see DevOps as a culture shift that is working towards a culture where developers can easily build, deploy, monitor and alert on their code in production. It is a direct counter-attack to the pattern of developers throwing their code over the wall and hoping that a sys admin will deploy it. You need expertise in tooling and processes in order to achieve the culture shift, that is where these 3 positions come in.

I see each role as an evolution where you go from DevOps -> SRE -> Platform Engineer. Automating the infrastructure and tooling is the catalyst. You can have any of these roles in your company based on how far along the path your company is, how on board management is and how interested your development teams are in growing/learning these practices.

DevOps writes scripts/code to automate CI/CD pipelines, creation of infrastructure, deployments. Once automated you move onto..

SRE writes scripts/code monitoring, alerting, SLOs/SLAs, incident processes. Once automated you move onto..

Platform Engineering where you write the tooling to make all of the above codified. Tooling could be anything from cli tools to kubernetes operators.

I say this as someone that has spent the last 3 years automating my way towards platform engineering.

So beautiful. Love to see ancient wisdom proven mathematically. Bravo!
Wasn't it Disney and other media companies that pushed copyright duration towards this 140 year value? I vaguely recall that as a driving factor though maybe wrong and one of those unproven theories or meme'd news of times past.

Be ironic (A children focused company like Disney pushing thru a change in law that actually in the end harms the children as it limits their access for their lifetime into copyright servitude that shows little thought for the children) if was as would sure add a whole new spin to the "think of the children" sound-bite often used to push thru some change in law/rules.

Still, somewhat sad. More so as we build building today too a standard that is not that long-standing in years by design.

My impression was that Washington (the state) was the first outbreak and they immediately took action in early march. NY was heavy handed but they also played a ton of games with it, that's why the authoritarian approach to most things fails.
Yes. Surprisingly, atomic clocks have high jitter compared to ovenized quartz oscillators. Every atomic clock package is outputting its signal from a quartz oscillator that is disciplined by the atomic oscillator.
>The enormous cost of all this is passed onto the consumer and the government doesn't subsidise reporting entities at all.

Sorry, who's the consumer in this? Can you explain more?
I think it’s a mix of everything from genuine belief to trolls and people paid to post such things.
Cockroach is much less dependent on highly accurate clocks. That was basically the core goal. Spanner like, without expensive clock infrastructure. Though it sounds like CockroachDB does better with at least reasonably well synced clocks.

The Russians didn't commit such war crimes before. It's very unfortunate because in Europe we would probably like to enjoy a better relationship with them. Is would be a win economically. Unfortunately things like this will only serve to lengthen existing sanctions and perhaps get Russians prosecuted by the ICC.
Without a reference handy to back this statement up I think there may indeed be epigenetic changes. Perhaps even more pronounced would be the experience of the mother in hotter environments during pregnancy.

I reject Google spying on everything you do, including buying a copy of your credit card transaction records so they can spy on everything you do in the real world, just as they already spy on everything you do online.

>Google has been able to track your location using Google Maps for a long time. Since 2014, it has used that information to provide advertisers with information on how often people visit their stores. But store visits aren’t purchases, so, as Google said in a blog post on its new service for marketers, it has partnered with “third parties” that give them access to 70 percent of all credit and debit card purchases.

I totally expected Idaho, too. That's why the racism didn't seem out of place. But it's like everyone there is obsessed with these little rules and they're all nannys about reminding you of them all the time. Fucking annoying, I agree, and it doesn't even make sense. Wayyyyy out in the bush I did meet people who weren't like that. Met a French guy who was roasting a kangaroo and living out in nowhere with his teenage daughter, totally illegal immigrant on the land. There's some of that. But mostly, fuck, a lot of nitpicking.
It’s disgustingly depressing for a generation who are looking at home ownership as unrealistic.

I make pretty decent money but buying a home anywhere that isn’t several hours commute away from my entire life is an exercise in finding the most cramped shit hole imaginable.

We’re a country of cities with tiny zones of walkable inner city surrounded by Suburban sprawl so extreme that for instance Perth’s metro area spreads the further than distance from LA to San Diego!
I did the opposite, moved to Germany from Australia. Now I look at my home country and im shocked about how things are degrading there

Long story short - hype and broken promises. About security. About scalability. About proof of stake. About code is law. About the world computer. About deadlines and timetables. All the way to the very beginning of the project, although the author doesn't go there. Make the thing so damn complicated few can reason about it or see the time bombs hidden behind the marble pillars.

That's a recipe for a high priest class.

Still, the hoards eat it up. It's a testament to the power of complex, flawed ideas, marketed to the hilt, and the promise of riches if you stick with the leadership.

It's really a recipe for a technology religion.
