The author of the article had a great point. Developers often DO treat me as an IT person. The number of times I've taught a developer what an SSH key is or how to install a python virtualenv on the dev box blows my mind.

On the other hand, everything else he says is wrong. Devops isn't "ops gets out of the way and lets developers do crap and nobody owns it when it breaks" its... dev and ops WORKING TOGETHER. If you don't know what their app is doing YOU ARE NOT DOING YOUR JOB. (On the same note, if they don't know anything about how the system is deployed or the like, they're also not doing their job).
The rest of the article is literally about complaints about that.
The point that you can't monitor an app you don't understand, and developers don't want to push out crappy code, is the whole reasoning behind devops. The people no longer being in their own silo, but instead working together as a more holistic team to own the thing from end to end. If you stay in your silo but add automation, you are 100% going to have pain.
There is another pattern they could try, thats the platform model. In that case ops can stay in their little silo and present a platform with apis that developers can build on. Its what you're talking about here, and that can ALSO work. But its a different model. The old style of ops they would do as they were told, while trying to restrict anyone from changing anything. As a platform team, now they're delivering a product. They should be talking to users, and judging throughput, and iterating quickly, and being customer focused... basically, acting exactly as the developers are supposed to be. I am a strong beliver that the platform team should have product owners and customer metrics the same as the developers- heck, if they like QA, they can come up with a QA process.
But yeah, I've seen a lot of low effort finger pointing in orgs that pretend to do devops from inside their functional silos. That point, the one in the title, is a great one.

Because Europe is not US. You cant rail about others, speak hatefully about minorities, immigrants, less harass people who wear masks or other bullsh*t and expect the state not to drag you to court to persecute your ass.

Just give a try to exercising the 'freehdums' which American right is exercising and see how fast youll get prosecuted in Europe.

Manufacturer's build? Maybe. But one of the major quality of life improvement I got by switching to LineageOS from proprietary android OS is 'predictable behavior' of the system.

e.g. Apps don't get killed arbitrarily, WiFi switches to different AP according to the signal as expected, I know when the phone will run out of power etc.

Yes, it's a shame that we are not even able to take basic compute behavior for granted. Would we allow our desktop software to be killed randomly by the OS?

Anyways, the aftermarket android ROM discussions often leads to what's missing and hence I wanted to state what I've gained for a change.
Underrated comment. So easy to point out what we think others are doing wrong when we are a result of those same actions and within our own lifetimes.
> Imagine you use some OS, say Ubuntu or Windows and the company behind it canonical/Microsoft creates an application that scans your files for illegal shit and reports you to the government.

You don't have to imagine it. This has literally been happening for the past decade.

>The system that scans cloud drives for illegal images was created by Microsoft and Dartmouth College and donated to NCMEC. The organization creates signatures of the worst known images of child pornography, approximately 16,000 files at present. These file signatures are given to service providers who then try to match them to user files in order to prevent further distribution of the images themselves, a Microsoft spokesperson told NBC News. (Microsoft implemented image-matching technology in its own services, such as Bing and SkyDrive.)

Google has been scanning everything in your account for the past decade as well.

Apple will only scan photos you post to iCloud Photos, and their system is set up in such a way that they cant see the scan results until a threshold of 30 matches is met, to protect you from being flagged to the government for a few false positives. (They do have a human verify there is a real issue, and that you haven't just somehow posted more than 30 false positives to iCloud)

Google and Microsoft's systems have no such protection.

Anyone who can issue a subpoena can maliciously use false positive data against you.

I suppose many Bay Area engineers may work a lot of extra hours as well, but my understanding was that nursing pay looks much less appealing when you’re working double the standard work week.
> Nor is it confined to the Left: neo-Nazi groups offer some of the clearest examples of purity spirals

Seems like your own linked article says it's not just a leftist thing?
Yeah it does.

Let us just say you are somehow different. That could be possible, and I do not want to question your experience. So great! You are not impaired.

That is simply not helpful or viable from a policy point of view.

When we regulate, we need legal tests and policy applicable to people in a very broad sense, or what we get is a mess that does us no real good.

I have known exceptions to the rule myself. People who can perform having had booze, pot, other drugs.

Always hard to tell whether their baseline, sober capability is exceptional enough to present normally with drugs on board, or their response to the drug is simply different.

Fair? I think so.

And those people can manage their use, function and pass tests too. Cannabis users cannot and that is a problem we have no easy answers to right now.

Sadly, being the exception to the rule really does us all no good when it comes to policy.

Fact is, barring very few people, using THC impairs that user.

Benadryl does the same thing, and in my State people can get a DUI on Benadryl. Sadly, they can also get one being a little too tired and having failed a THC test because they hit a binger last weekend too.

This is all a difficult problem to solve.

It should deffo be off Schedule 1

However, even a full federal legalization would leave us with the testing dilemma I described above. That might be one reason it is still on schedule.

But, say Feds went full legal. Workers comp would still be a big issue because they cannot determine fault, and best case would charge employers accordingly, meaning most would continue their harsh policy, leaving us right where this discussion started.

Opiates, booze, other things flush out and are testable in ways cannabis just is not. And that is a major league policy problem.

I don't think you can really do it carefully and succeed. It can only work if the teams are naturally independent, i.e. with no overlap in workspace, projectspace and headspace. If you force that independence and separation you break stuff you need.

That's the thing, is it really voluntary? I'm not sure if apple has as much leverage as everyone is thinking. The Chinese government certainly forces companies to do this sort of thing, and there is precedent in the US as well with national security letters and warrant canaries.

Who would not shun others for being foreigners and who would not exhibit automatic/traditional Russian behaviors of suspecting/shunning strangers and being closed to them.

I have many friends who grew up in India who never learned how to read their mother tongue. They can’t read media, books, articles, current events as you say but they can communicate with all other Tamil speakers.

This is pretty common among my friend groups.

> Scanning your device is a huge paradigm shift

But that's not what they want to do. They want to perform a client side fingerprint of a subset of images before they get uploaded to the cloud.

You can argue that they could in the future turn this into a scan of everything on the device. But you can also argue that if that's what they want to do in the future they'll do it in the future. It's all about trust. If you don't trust Apple to not push nefarious code on your devices, stay away from Apple, and that's true even before all this.

> But GP was talking about "any shortage", not just amazon's shortage.

And followed it by arguing they could just raise wages, which makes it clear the "any" is within the context of at least talking about employers, and quite likely specifically talking about Amazon

You're being obtuse.

> Likewise, amazon would like more delivery drivers, but isn't desperate enough to actually raise wages and/or improve working conditions.

In other words, they've made a choice.
A trend I've seen with some companies is that they mark their software as GPL but make it really hard to either find there source code (you have contact them for it) or make the build files for the source code non-GPL so you cannot build it. That effectively makes it impossible to redistribute their software under GPL.
The problem here isn't with time.Time, it's with reflect.DeepEqual. Using it in your code to compare arbitrary data is almost always incorrect. And IMO, adding it to the stdlib was a mistake.

time.Time values should only be compared for equality using the Equal method (or IsZero), but reflect.DeepEqual does not know that.

This can happen with any type, not just time.Time. For example, I have a decimal library. It can represent 200 as either (mantissa=2, exponent=2) or (mantissa=200, exponent=0). Comparing those two numbers for equality will return true, but comparing them with reflect.DeepEqual will return false.

So, it's not a "nasty bit of undefined timezone behavior." It's somebody misusing an API.
I'm not so sure about that, like someone stealing a few things yeah, no one is going to care enough. But in SF it's common that people walk in and fill up a fucking roller suitcase and then just walk out.

In the south someone is likely going to call you out for that, at which point a confrontation may ensue and it has a much higher likelihood of a gun being involved.

I've been called out by presumably minimum wage employees before for opening food in the gas station while waiting on family members to finish shopping or use the restroom.

There are studies that show people from the south are more aggressive and take much more personal offense to perceived disrespectful behavior.

But I don't think it saves the state somewhere permanently, which isn't a big problem until cron's process dies for some reason.

Frankly, whether you agree or not with the rationales, in comparison to any previous vaccination campaign, this one is really, really mild.

Oh, I think we totally agree on the facts of what happened! Except that I don't think it was an 11% decrease in covid cases, but a slower increase that ended up 11% lower.

But you said it was "pretty outstanding IMO" and I think the opposite: I think it shows that an increase of 29 percentage points in mask usage had so little effect on covid risk that it could only be reliably detected with sophisticated statistics and experimental design, and even then only at a group level, not an individual level.

I don't feel comfortable with anyone using the term "liberal moral agenda" unironically because of culture-specific connotations: for starters, it's a very US-specific phrase which will have attached meanings that would be lost or misinterpreted by people unfamiliar with how the term "liberal" specifically relates to US political discourse - and the hugely negative (to downright toxic) connotations attached to the label "liberal moral agenda" by the reactionary right-wing - which all make conversations like these impossible to have.
