(Disclaimer: I used to work at Reddit but left in 2018)

While I think you're absolutely right, I think Digg made a number of other missteps with the Digg v4 launch that Reddit did not make. In particular, they shut down the old Digg site to reuse the servers for the new one, a mistake that Reddit was particularly careful not to make.

Digg was also already on the way down before their failed launch, and before the exodus to Reddit - a condition that doesn't apply to Reddit today. People have been making Digg comparisons about Reddit before I worked there, and now long after I've left. I don't think the 2 are comparable.

Pretty sure my mum would love for her recipe websites to fit the entire recipe on screen at once, instead of having to scroll over a gigantic font, interlaced with 4+ irrelevant pictures of smiling people holding fruits and 2 ad banners, canceling the ubiquitous "we use cokkies balabla.." popup and maybe some full-page ad-overlay.

I am also sure she would love these selfsame pages to load instantly when shes accessing them via her old cell phone at my uncles house where reception is bad and the device has to revert to 3G.

No, "other" people don't want bloat, tons of adds and "clever designs" (aka. a huge useless picture-banner that contains zero information) either.

I disagree, the time it takes to start searching for a match is part of how long it takes to get a match.

I’m assuming that you’re either very high or very low rated, because in the middle of the bell curve I find matches almost instantly on Lichess.
Exactly, it doesn't have to be one or the other. So far, i've been using a monolith for core functionality and microservices for independent processing tasks.

That way, i can attach as much functionality as i want without bloating the main app and processing scales with demand.
Is Snopes having a hard time with money? The article (on mobile) had two huge full-width ads that you had to scroll past, and a persistent banner ad at the bottom, and they're still asking for donations:

Indeed, the question is whether emulating the current college system would be considered a success or a failure. I'm thinking more in terms of the middle and working classes, who will simply end up trading one bad school for another one that's also 40 miles away.

Also, it would remain to be seen if K-12 schools stay in business long enough to gain a reputation without becoming franchises of one or two giant nationwide corporations.
Retro, comparable performance to GPT-3 using 25× fewer parameters
actually you would only have to change the one reader and the one writer.

The services themselves do not differ, but are fanned out. E.G. so 100 workers watch your pdf queue to generate pdfs.

If your zip code is really used by many services, the question is how you want to communicate those objects and there are really a lot of choices out there. GRPC / Soap / Shared model package / and the list goes one.

On the other hand i have obsverved that people push full blown models around just to end up reading one field of it in their monolith. I believe the PHP frameworks of the past where the biggest offenders like that.

When i was working with sugarcrm for instance, it was not uncommon to pass huuuuge objects between functions because you needed 1 field. It's PHP so by default, function arguments are passed by value, so you can already see where the fun begins.
Of course: it's not like anything will change even with proof.

Sounds like EA has (had?) actually pretty good developers. The game itself has so many things gone wrong that from the players perspective it's very hard to find any good words for. Shame that the company hates their customers so then customers started to hate anyone involved in EA. In the forums of the game, devs of this game are considered to be the laziest and the least skilled across the industry.

PS. Anyone did figure out whether DDA is officially in the code or is it just a matter of network quality difference between players and the server (the game stopped to be p2p in any mode)

CDC Vaccine advisers revisit Johnson and Johnson Covid-19 vaccine recommendation
Have you seen this done well more than a few times? Honest question because it’s something I think everyone agrees with as being a good idea but it never gets actually done. It’s definitely not an industry practice that big monoliths eventually get split up in modules and quality increases. It’s something you have to fight for and actively pursue.

I’ve been on projects with very good developers, who were very bought into the idea of separating modules in the monolith, yet for one reason or another it never got done to an extent where you could see the quality improving. This leads me to believe this technique just isn’t practical for most teams, for reasons that are more psychological than technical.

It’s just something about how people approach a single codebase that leads to that, it’s harder to think about contracts and communication when everything is in the same language.

But if you force them to communicate over the wire to something in a different stack then all of a sudden the contracts become clear and boundaries well defined.

It is still the case that women attempted suicides is higher and the results a lot lower, but as far as I remember in most cases for women it was just a way to cry for help, not to actually do it, while men were on the other side.

Although the GP smacks of snobbery, I think it's mistaken to credit the enduring reputation of Shakespeare to his smutty innuendos alone. Surely the reason that Much ado about nothing is still being read today is the sophisticated battle of wits between the protagonists who are lovers, helped along by Shakespeare's uncanny ability to characterise. It is true that some of his early plays such as Titus, Henry VI and Comedy of errors rely on simpler means of entertainment, but hardly anyone consider those to be his best works. (Incidentally the also early Love's Labour's lost ranks among the most complex utilisation of the English language before Joyce, a play that cannot by any stretch of the imagination be considered 'popular'.) The hermeneutical problems of Hamlet, Lear and Macbeth are legendary, that's not to mention the even more mysterious late plays. Even Shakespeare's contemporaries recognised his difficulty and extorted people to "Reade him, therefore; and againe, and againe" in the preface to the First Folio. I think it's an error to over emphasise the more mundane aspects of his art when the more extraordinary aspects are what attracted people in the first place.
When I was a beginner I'd write code and run it very fast, after each small change, even though an experienced developer could probably compile it in their head and see whether it worked or not.

I think just as you get more experience you tend to write more code before you run it. I've written an entire (relatively small) application and written the tests for it before I even thought about running it. Run it, few tests fail, iterate a tiny bit, done.

It's just natural as you get more experienced that you can reason about code in your head without resorting to running it to confirm it.

Mumble has a bunch of issues, the main one being their confusing UI, especially on mobile clients. I'm regularly in mumble conferences and for example accidentally switching the room instead of pushing the push-to-talk button happens quite often.

There's also a bunch of more technical problems. For example as mumble uses a udp protocol it handles dropped frames badly, like on a spotty wireless connection. Results in missing audio. Not just that sound doesn't arrive (in both directions) but it also doesn't tell you something's wrong.

Mumble has problems with changing audio setups which require a restart of the client.

Also no video, no simply calling people - you need to go to a server and they need to go there, too. Basically stopped innovating some time ago and everone else moved further.
IME it's the drive for microservices that encourage the modular monolith. That is to say, the monolith is typically loosely modular (but still with many rule-breakages) until the push for microservices starts _then_ the big refactor to modularity begins.

Oh, absolutely it's not due to his smutty innuendos alone - indeed, it is rather despite them. My entire point, though, is that (at least some of) today's classic literature is the smut-ridden pop culture of past generations, and it is a mistake to sneer at present day works merely because they are pop culture and contain boobs. If OP has a stronger case to make for some particular work's artistic merit or lack thereof, they should take the trouble to actually do so (I do note others have in fact responded to defend the show's merits, despite OP not even trying to make a case for it lacking any, so certainly there is debate to be had), as that is what separates an opening for debate from a sneer. As it stands, however, the original question boils down to "why do talented people devote effort to smutty pop culture?", which, well, my post.

Anyone know something similar to GPT but isn't really 'AI' but more a blackbox algorithm that you don't have to train, and can spit out blogposts given a few bits of initial input?

For example, let's say I wanted to generate an article about 'why the sky is blue'. Couldn't I just say to the program: 'Yes, use Wikipedia as reference material', 'Include 3-4 images with captions too', etc

I imagine such a tool is in use, it's just not possible to know what bloggers use it, since such a tool could be abused to create blogspam on a scale never seen before. In other words: with great power comes great responsibility.

Actually, it’s not. Log4j 2 is a ground up rewrite of Log4j and is less than 9 years old from when the rewrite started, 7 years for the GA release. Log4j 1.x isn’t vulnerable as it doesn’t have this “feature”.

Imho, this isn’t a “patches over patches” situation, it’s a very poorly thought out “feature” that almost nobody needed and shouldn’t have been added in the rewrite. The concept of “separation of concerns” exists for a reason. Your logging library should _just_ be concerned with logging.

To me, DevOps means SDEs can troubleshoot, diagnose, and fix app-related prod issues. SREs don’t have the app-level knowledge for that, so it’s wasteful for them to be involved. SREs should be paving paths for SDEs and responding to infrastructure ops issues.

I also think silos are unhealthy. SDEs need to have some overlapping responsibilities with SREs. Otherwise, you’ll likely have a “throw it over the fence” culture
Maybes there's a patch of the moon dust that they all agreed to never photograph, where they drew all the boobs and dicks.

Imagine: aliens get the Arecibo message but don't quite know what to make of it, until they see the boobs and dicks drawn on the moon and they correlate it with their own crass fascination with reproductive organs, and only then do they recognize humanity as a self-aware species.

That, or they just smudged it out after doing it.
They had clinical trials starting in 2013 (rabies), 2016 (Zika), and others. The big thing COVID-19 did was rapidly accelerate large-scale testing — normally you have to wait for people to get sick so you can show that the vaccinated population was safer – and get massive investments in scaling up manufacturing capacity. That last part will be the most enduring benefit since engineers rarely get worse at making things and a new vaccine would be starting with a known platform and well-established costs — I’m sure that someone at Moderna, Pfizer/BioNTech, etc. can now give you very accurate estimates for how much money and time it’ll take to make a given number of doses.

I think we in the west need something like a 'doctrine of the foregone conclusion'.

Often things are very obvious, even notorious, but because we do not want to face the eventuality, we do things like negotiate or perseverate our denials all while the situation escalates.

If NATO and the west are ready and willing to defend Ukraine (I suspect we are not), in which case a significant increase in our own presence would have made sense much earlier.

If we are not willing, then the Ukrainians really should be told that and given an opportunity to negotiate or find their own way.

I'm not sure that Cold War style standoffs via obscurity work the way they used to, there is just too much information available. The job is not to hide information or turn a blind eye to it, but rather to create as much or more activity and information as the opposing side.

Yes, but that use case happens to be something that I need to do 5 times a day - make a small (<200 line) code change to one small part of the distributed monolith, and deploy it immediately.

This also means that if something goes wrong, I can rollback those changes immediately without rolling back the work of any of the other 50 engineers in the company.

Splitting code into modules has the same downsides as splitting it into microservices. You can still end up making the wrong splits and needing to back track on things you once thought were modular but no longer are.

The logistics of microservices are rarely the hard part. It's the long term maintenance. Everyone who's ever maintained a "core" library knows the same pain, at some point you just end up making sacrifices just to get things to work.
