I think the issue is about letting people know that PRs won't be reviewed/merged before they bother putting a lot of effort into them (both the commit itself and setting up/documenting the PR).
Definitely valid points.

I don't see a way of committing to use this service without also maintaining the capability required to operate as you are now on a moments notice. The SLAs won't be cheap either I imagine.

Don't get me wrong though, I think it's a cool service and I can see it going places. It just seems impossible to justify for small to medium sized shops, especially considering you can get the exact same benefits from containers and images right now (and even run your own centralised VSCode server).
That's not what i read in the article, and i think noone is making that point. You deformed the argument to make it appear ridiculous, whether consciously or not. It's as if you claimed anti-sexism in the cinema industry means never again having men on screen.

There is no thought police coming for you if you disagree with a rather-insignificant change. But of course feeling threatened by better representation of different cultures in education is weird.

That kind of argument is directly rehearsed from the neofascist international movement (Generation Identitaire & friends) and their "great replacement" / "clash of cultures" theory. I'm not saying you belong to that movement or that you're a despicable human being in any regard (i've never met you and barely interacted with you), but i would recommend to question that kind of racist narrative pushed by mainstream media in the last decade or so (especially since the start of the so-called "migrant crisis").
So you gave up? Decided to play dead?
In many parts of the world they are being soft banned.
Oh please. There are plenty of anti-vaxers, political extremists, and ignorant citizens in the EU. I know quite a few of them personally. The US is a hundred times more unified than the EU, which has been teetering for a decade now. I think the situation is not nearly as bad as the American press says it is, but the EU is absolutely chock full of problems, just like everywhere else.

Granted you're very correct that American health care got way too profit driven which is causing accessibility and standard of care to suffer, but EU healthcare is not without its issues, just different issues.
In the scenarion the 5000 were renting houses from the 500, so probably the outsiders would buy those properties first.

The 500 are also the most likely not to be local or own the land (which means a single sale can convert a low cost apartament building in a mansion).

Also the reverse is possible...

Generally the variation in gravitational field is so weak it doesn’t do much except add errors to data. It’s more efficient to launch satellites near the equator, but that’s not because of the Earth’s bulge or gravity, but rather the big radial velocity down there.

Docker does this a lot. For example, we were trying to turn off gzipping images on the wire when pulling because it actually cost more when done from the intranet.

You can't. And modifying the source was so convoluted that we gave up.

Then we needed to clean up docker (before there were commands to do that) when it started to eat up all of the disk space.

To our (un)surprise, Docker uses 3 (!!) different storage formats, many of them having redundant information, and editing one of them would cause the other to be corrupted.

One was a binary database format that was specific to Go and didn't have any utility CLI to work with, so you had to write a programmatic interface with it just to edit it.

Or how about the fact that even if you issue commands directly to docker over the HTTP Unix socket, it will deadlock if you issue too many commands to it? This became our nightmare when trying to implement one of the first iterations of custom deployment backends at ZEIT. In fact, the entire project failed because of docker (there was no great alternative at the time).
Just maintains the status quo?
Yup, and as far as "blackbox" solutions go, if something horrible should happen to your system, you want something that works like ZFS as opposed to, say, some high-performance but proprietary hardware RAID.

As someone who has a couple times needed to rip 100tb of ZFS disks out of something, put them into a different machine with a different architecture or OS in some random order, and access everything without having lost anything, it's hard for me to overstate how great it is that such a thing is even possible.

It was funny and scared a bit how node dependency works.

Some said, node ecosystem was a bit too exagerated to relay on very tiny library like that.

On other side having on a good number of dependencies on your package.json is a good sign, because you have a strong structured ecosystem to relay onto.

Keep in mind a singular angular app has about 1Gb of node_modules dependencies whereas a java spring boot app is hardly so big :)

Dumb question, from someone who doesn't use web-based instant environments like these: what are some popular "locally hosted" alternatives?

For reasons of personal taste, I just don't like browser based development (not to mention how resource hungry it can be), and I get antsy when relying on third-party hosted services for day-to-day work. I like to treat my laptop as a fully-integrated, offline-capable *, cheap, almost disposable development environment. If I accidentally destroy my filesystem or whatever - which has happened at least once :) - I want to be able to stand it up again and get to productivity within the day.

I appreciate that hosted services are appealing because they "solve" exactly this problem. But I want a locally hosted solution, thanks.

Is it just a matter of code storage (git repos, backups, whatever) + VMs/containers + IDE? Is everyone cobbling together their own solutions? Are there recognised standard approaches, or are they specific to the orgs within which they evolve?

My personal case is as a solo web developer, but I'd be interested in hearing from individuals and teams of any size.

* Edit: By "offline-capable" I more mean "offline-first". I'm occasionally nomadic, and use my laptop on a long train/plane journey where internet is unreliable or unavailable. Plus I have a hardware off-switch for radios to save battery. I'm also slowly implementing local caches of software installed with apt/pip/yarn/whatever so I can pop-up and tear-down virtual environments without necessarily needing an internet connection. (This is a work in progress.) So I'm not interested in cloud-based environments, but thanks to those who have suggested them.

As far as I know, Swiss laws regarding online privacy aren’t all that great. They’re even more regressive than other countries. Swiss quality doesn’t mean much in software, if anything most Swiss companies are very much behind in terms of best practices or modernity of software. Whenever I see “Swiss software quality”, I run the other way now that I know how the sauce is made.

Even the government sucks at online security, see the debacle of the city of Rolle and the cyberattack they suffered last month. If this is not pure ignorance and incompetence, I don’t know what is.

Not even mentioning several “made in Switzerland” software company whose only claim to Swissness is that they have an office with two people in Switzerland and all the rest are European or Indian contractors (not that these people are worse, just that it’s a marketing thing to tout Swiss software if you’re going to outsource 90% of your development offshore)

Most of the time, claiming Swiss anything is a marketing move and an excuse to justify charging much much more for something.

> never to use them for cultural reasons

Where was it suggested that Alice and Bob names be banned altogether? Having one class/university use different names is far from erasure.

> replaces the cultural hegemony of one group with another

What new group would that be dominating the narrative? Is "all other cultures than anglo-saxon" a unified cultural group? Is this hypothetical group exerting power over others in what can be called "cultural hegemony" (cultural domination)?

From my perspective as a white French person, who was taught in schools/media that colonization was a virtuous enterprise to civilize lesser cultures, power is still vastly in the hands of racist misogynist people who control the entirety of the State apparatus and 95% of european economy. Having a few pockets of resistance challenge that status quo is barely a threat to the establishment.

> If someone inserts, say, a Chinese name in the proper unicode with a slavic name in cyrilic, I've got to think and try to figure out what is going on.

Of course. Just like a person learning cryptography in Russian/Chinese language can have a harder time to decipher what "Alice" and "Bob" are. But in this case, lessons are given in English using the latin alphabet: the suggestion was to use more diverse names, which does not require using a different alphabet.
Some of these articles miss the point: very often an expensive complication comes in order to solve a problem that otherwise would have been much lengthier or expensive to solve.

Just as an example: everyone would agree that react is more. Implied than jquery as it has more levels of indirections and abstractions, but it’s strong point has never been to show the cleverness of its authors but to solve state management issues and implement a serie of features otherwise not reachable from previous paradigms. Also for loops where more complex than gotos as they require state (invariant), but today for loops and other forms of loops are widely understood and teach during formal education.

New abstractions and indirections aren’t always necessary and when put in place they need additional documentation and training, but nothing of that was mention in the article.
> Forgive me since I’m American, but wasn’t getting rid of foreigners taking jobs one of the selling points of Brexit?

That's what the media like to repeat, but I would suggest that you ignore them and take a broader view.

Reality is that both the UK and EU government failed to keep the population happy and continuously messed up. So much so, that the majority of people voted to leave the EU as they were discontent with their current situation. As someone who lives in the UK is that very little really has changed yet pre-brexit and post-brexit. It turns out outside of some temporary instabilities, things aren't doom and gloom. They're still crap like before though.

The only place where housing was really affordable in the UK was in Northern Ireland and sure enough, it's still very affordable in Northern Ireland.

General rule for getting on the housing ladder in the UK is the best time to buy was yesterday, the next best is now. Even if the housing market has a price crisis. It will never return to pricing to match up a decade ago; so don't live a fantasy waiting for it.

HTB has definitely increased the prices of HTB eligible properties because they realised that buyers could afford a bit more w/ Gov assistance and so sellers are squeezing people for it.

Really, HTB should not have had a restriction on new builds. It's laughable because the restriction would make sense if the Gov was allowing anyone to actually build new properties.

I think you're FYIGM'ing. Idk where you're finding these decent 2 bed "houses" (I think you mean flats) in London for "250k". Hell even a 2 bed flat is mostly around the 350-400k mark in most of London, unless you want to raise your family in Croydon or something lol

Check out https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers

I think that GitHub Codespaces are built on this technology. It should allow you (or any of your team mates) to start coding almost instantly, you need to install vscode and docker on your host machine and that's about it.

Rent a server in the cloud, install docker there, point your local docker to this cloud server and your laptop turns into a thin client.

That's a theory at least.

AFAIK the Docker engine (that allows to run containers) isn't available for Mac independently of Docker Desktop.

At least binaries are not provided.

I think the vast majority of VC funded companies could make a profit if investors didn't demand exponential growth. Overfunding and shutting down companies is a choice they are willing to make. What our economy needs isn't the next billion dollar company. It needs lots of small companies to get away from corporate power.

It's actually quite strange how VCs are trying to basically create monopolies. They are trying to find the business equivalent of real estate.

Not sure if you are suggesting RAID5 as a relevant problem or solution, but it's arguably the former! :)

Regardless, ZFS has configurations equivalent to most "traditional" RAID options anyway (raidz1 is their RAID5) but with the added benefits of all the other great stuff ZFS gives you, like checksums, compression, deduplication, snapshots, etc.
House price does matter. End of the day with the bump-ed up H2B house prices...sure you can afford it w/ lower deposit thanks to gov assistance...but it's not free money.

> put them in high orbit so they do useful things in local night, limiting you to a small total count planet-wide

Geostationary orbit is a circle over the equator with radius 42241 km, circumference 265408 km.

Yes, it's "limited" in the sense that it's finite, but it's not exactly small.

In its current primary use, communication satellites, there is a problem with interference; things like residential TV-sat dishes need to be small, so they have limited resolution, so those satellites need to be relatively far apart. That is not an issue for space based solar power.

> put them in a low orbit [...] worry about multiple orbit-to-ground beams being directed at the same spot

From different directions, at different times.
Everyone in this thread is missing the real context and the information that has been coming out in the past 24h of the case. Read more here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/pil6xi/climate_...

TLDR:

1. Protonmail received Swiss legal request that was based on proven legal grounds and thus had to comply with.

2. They started monitoring the user's account and informed them that their data was requested. (Informing is required by Swiss law)

3. Only data Protonmail keeps by default is account creation date. Now they also logged the IP of the tracked account.

4. This IP information was given to the Swiss authorities.

5. The Swiss authorities gave this information to Interpol.

What should Protonmail have done differently here?

Really? Nothing worse?
For me personally, the fact that even a simple node project will have well over 1000 dependencies is a problem. Slightly more complex projects will have more than 10k dependencies.

Auditing is nearly impossible.

The complete lack of a standard stdlib means always relying on community packages.

Also, not a complaint directly against node directly, but for the ecosystem and developers. There is not a culture of compatibility, further fueled by the fact that multiple versions of the same dependency can be included in the same code base by different dependencies.

Coming from any other language were it is a goal to keep external dependencies down, nodejs is nightmare fuel.
Oh wow, really? I thought Docker Desktop was only a UI that helped you start/stop Docker, I didn't realize there's no OSS version at all. That's much worse than I thought, wow.

I guess I'll have to switch to Podman too, even though I don't use Mac, just because we need a unified approach across OSes in our company and can't afford to have Mac-using developers be second-class citizens.

When we're drooling over these accomplishments, we should direct more of our praise to the thousands of really, really good engineers who did the work, built on the accumulated experience of millions, over decades. People seem to be very eager to ascribe success to heroic individuals, and while leadership is certainly something remarkable, I think that there is a severe imbalance in who we're thanking for these achievements.
