The problem is you’ve got a bunch of things that need to be in a particular state (for every employee, for every office, for every foo).

There are a few solutions to this. Documentation with manual actions, a bunch of imperative code to create but not manage these things, or something that describes what you want without the “how I get it”.

If you’re at the stage where you think writing a bunch of random Python code to prompt a user with steps is an acceptable solution then I can’t see how the situation can get much worse.

For laptops, soldered vs socketed DRAM is mostly about power, not performance. But it is true that soldering DRAM makes it possible to reach higher bus speeds than are practical to achieve through a DIMM slot; this is why GPUs don't have upgradable RAM.

> No. CEOs are responsible for strategy, policy, and organisation.

I doubt that. In larger companies - the ones that actually have a CEO and not just a very hard working company owner - CEOs are usually pretty much isolated from any strategy, policy or organisation. For that they have upper management.

> One CEO

alone can do shit. A successful company needs competent workers, the right ideas from engineers and artists, diligent bureaucrats and most of all; a hell a lot of luck.

Given all that, even a company with a mediocre CEO can be vastly successful.

CEOs are mostly there for the handshakes and because they know people that know people. That's about it.

I was thinking specifically in the context of ZFS, which break on minor releases because kernel-internal symbols are not fully stable (unless I've seriously misunderstood https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/11320). And since Stream is a rolling release, users will therefore experience breakage unless they specifically pin their kernel version (or possibly use DKMS). That's ABI breakage, and RH explicitly saying that it doesn't count doesn't stop it breaking stuff that would work in a non-rolling release.

Unfortunately people are very conflict averse and will avoid giving that sort of feedback if it means an uncomfortable conversation (particularly if whoever came up with the process is still employed). Even anonymous surveys are not really that useful because the most useful criticism stays exclusively inside peoples' heads.

As a manager you have to have really good EQ to be able to read this sort of stuff implicitly from your employees because it's usually not coming out explicitly.

You have comprehensively missed the point. And your questions are answered in the article:

Does no one remember Etherpad? It had collaborative editing and Google snatched them up.

A year later they released Google Wave and Google Docs also got collaborative editing at some point.

Even then, Etherpad was not the first collaborative editor. It was just the first (to my knowledge) online one but I believe desktop ones existed for years.

And of course, the principle used behind collaborative editing (operational transform) is from at least 1989.

CRDT is the newer game in town now and it may replace OT entirely.

As a third party observer, I take it they both Google Wave and the collaborative editing in GSuite derive from Etherpad, and Etherpad itself is built upon the academic papers that predate it. If that is the case, while I’m sure some code may have migrated over, Google Wave “died” but Etherpad lives on.
>what is so hard to understand about that for journalists and companies?

They've gotten used to redefining existing words to better fit a desired narrative, a habit picked up from your given tech company marketing department. It's funny that you mention XR, which was itself coined in part to get around Microsoft's co-opting of "mixed reality" (which itself evolved to encompass all forms of n-reality after initially being coined to replace "augmented reality", I believe by Magic Leap). It's a mess.
>Why is Apple not selling a $400 router that just works

At one point I thought Apple TV will come with router function given the AirPort team has folded into Apple TV's team. And then you can stick them around for mesh.

That was 2016? But then it never happened.

The closest thing to an Apple Airport experience is Eero. But they are now under Amazon.

All of this is true, but I'd wager there's 10, at MOST, entities on the planet that are large enough to warrant this level of ... "architectural overkill". The other 99.99% of us don't need it.

I CERTAINLY don't debate that Google, or Amazon, or Facebook, or Netflix, or the phone system, or anything else that touches a noticeable percentage of the human race needs architecture like this to provide "5 9s".

But, just like when "big data" became a buzzword, and many people thought their problem needed "big data" approaches to solve, the thought that all but a small minority of entities need this is Simply Wrong.

I am reminded of a client doing something with genomics about 9 years ago. They had some over-complicated "new tool" infested approach to solve their "big data" problem, but the run times were taking too long. I was brought in as a consultant to improve it. After I was done, a data processing run that took hours (causing employees to run them overnight) before took minutes, or seconds. What did I do? I got rid of all the complexity. I replaced their expensive cluster with one studly provisioned machine. I replaced their collection of networked Java microservices with 1 non-networked multithreaded C program. I replaced their XML based format for data at rest with something I whipped up, tuned to what they actually needed.

Once their "we need big data!" >10TB data set could fit in a single machine's memory, the rest was easy. What used to "require" a cluster of machines and overnight processing could be done interactively, and quickly enough for the scientists to get into a much more productive "flow", doing dozens of runs per day.

tl;dr: unless you're google (or google scale) you don't need all this crap. :)
> BSD sysexits.h (which is also in GNU libc) defines several exit codes in the range 64-78. These are typically used in the context of mail delivery; originating with BSD delivermail (the NCP predecessor to the TCP/IP sendmail), and are still used by modern mail systems such as Postfix to interpret the local(8) delivery agent's exit status. Using these for service exit codes isn't recommended by LSB (which says they are in the range reserved for future LSB use) or by daemon(7). However, they are used in practice,

I like to do this with a checklist. In Confluence you can clone the checklist page for the onboarding/release, etc and check off the cloned page.

The 2D internet works though because it's an efficient means of communication and data transfer. When I search the weather, check directions, send a message, book a flight, buy a shirt, or view the daily news, I can get that done fast on the existing internet. I don't want to load a 3D world to read an article. I don't need to walk around as a 3D avatar to ask a friend what time they're arriving. It's inefficient. It's not the future of the internet. It's a gimmick or form of entertainment.

That being said, I did think it was the future of the internet 15-20 years ago when I was taking CAD files of products and turning them into interactive 3D Flash websites. Then I realized my mistake. People don't want fancy graphics or animations when browsing the internet. They want data. They want it fast, and they want it organized and presented to them in the most efficient way.

For that reason, I don't believe the future of the internet is the metaverse. The future will be something along the lines of neuralink, where information is instantly sent and received from the brain. Instead of spending 20 minutes reading a Wikipedia article, the information will be instantly sent to your brain. Instead of pulling out your phone and checking directions to a restaurant, you'll know where to go just by thinking that very question. The internet will basically be an extension of your brain. What the internet knows, you'll know. That's the future.

In all the companies I've worked at, never has a CEO made a decision that made a company successful. The best thing a CEO can do when it comes to decisions that make a company successful is one thing; recognize good ideas and get the hell out of the way of the people implementing that decision.

That's what incompetent CEOs usually do; they get in the way of competent people doing a heck of a job.

Good CEOs know that they are figureheads and try to stay out of the crucial decision making, handing off responsibilities to people that actually know what they are doing.

When I hear about a job function that used to be good, but are now crap, and are embedded in a bureaucracy... I wonder what it is about the system that has changed to incentivize worse work.

Unless you have some inside knowledge that these individuals are to blame, it seems to me that approaching it as a systems problem, with curiosity, would result in being closer to the root cause.

Workers being well paid and having health care should be the norm. Gig workers being exploited doesn't mean we should spit vitriol at workers who aren't exploited - even if they are exploiting the system (which is not clear in this case).
Great observation. Perhaps the term "premature infrastructure architecture optimization".

Cambridge does have a lower than average residential property tax rate, mostly due to how much commercial development they have. I still wouldn't point to Cambridge as a particular success in terms of affordable housing though.

But the reason Japan doesn't have this kind of sprawl is that buildings are depreciating assets in Japan with an expected lifespan between 20 and 40 years, which both creates regular opportunities to build higher occupancy buildings and eliminates the paralyzing financial incentives for restricting housing supply [0].

In the US, real estate is the dominant store of wealth for a plurality of Americans, which is why we see such fierce opposition to development. Dense accumulations of people affords great economic opportunities which attract more people, but people need somewhere to live, and if the supply of housing is held far below the demand, prices rise and push out people who can't afford said prices. So people who can't afford sufficient housing within commuting range of economic opportunities within their abilities can either A) forgo the benefits of metropolitan living, B) search the fringes of the metropolitan area for places they can afford/are allowed to build, or C) become homeless.

It would be great if we could just nationally eradicate the regulations, ordinances, zoning codes, etc that cities and towns use to prevent development, but I don't think the 10th amendment allows for that kind of law. And without more housing, there will be sprawl.

> Steam is proprietary. Proprietary bad. Open source good.

The opening statement almost feels satirical. In the rough chance you're not:

Software is a product just as much as you pay for the hardware product. Some developers open source hardware, and that does a drastic good for society. Some developers open source software, and that too is great for society.

Yet proprietary hardware still exists and for the vast majority of devices - is dominant.
Software rightfully should be used as the license permits.

If you want to take the 'moral high ground' then ideally I agree, as much software as possible should be open source. Piracy is not in any way following the open source mantra. The core philosophy that legally supports open source is in fact the Software License. By pirating software, you breach the terms of the license, and are breaking said license in all the same ways as you would for open source software should you breach the license.

Willing to bet that you would hold a pitch fork against any company or person who'd breach an open source license. What is different in this case? You're still infringing on someone's intellectual property rights.
It would be so, so easy to guard against this if they would just give people:

about:tabs

... which would be a plain text listing of all the URLs of all the tabs you have open.

You could just copy and paste it to a file or whatever.

Instead, we need to dig several directories deep into /Library (or whatever, depending on OS) and then use JSON tools to export ... I've already lost most people.

Go search for "how can I export tabs" or "how can I save tab urls" and you'll see thousands of people trying (usually in vain) to achieve this very, very simple thing.

It won't change. After the boomers come the millennials, and I believe there's still a generation in between (generation Y?).

Many of them may have been just in time to snatch a house from the market, and they see their home value go up. None of them are going to advocate for super high taxes on their "unjust" gains nor will they give a discount to future buyers. They will maximize the return just like everybody else would.

It's not boomer behavior, it's human behavior. Boomers were just lucky to get in earlier. The only annoying thing about some boomers is that they don't acknowledge their luck, and insist it was all due to their hard work or brilliance.

The school going generation always wants a revolution, a redesign of society. To fix its flaws, to make it more fair. It's easy to want to change everything if you have no responsibility or anything to lose. But then they grow up and have skin in the game, and they'll be just like everybody else, protecting whatever wealth they have.

Consider that many boomers were hippies when they were young, rejecting even the notion of personal property. Now they own almost all property. The 21st century version of hippies are even better at managing progressive optics whilst taking in top 1% salaries.

My scenario isn't meant to be WW3. It's just a conflict over Taiwan, presuming that it doesn't spiral into WW3. WW3 changes everything in such ways, my home ownership doesn't matter. Good chance my city is bombed and I die. What I'm focused on is the chance of a temporary dip in the market as I'm interested in buying in the short term (12-24 months).

How into the geopolitics of China-US relations are you? I ask because my reason that we're at high risk for a conflict and now low over Taiwan is that China just upgraded their navy, while we have a refresh going on right now. Once that investment is complete China will have essentially the window closed on any hope of winning the conflict. They have to move relatively quickly to have a realistic chance at taking over Taiwan, if US determination is resolute in stopping them at least. It could happen at any time.
