Same experience here. As far as genre fiction goes, the prose itself is pretty good. But the plot and themes did not resonate with me or strike me as particularly interesting. I do understand its historical context, but I don't really think that elevates it.
Yeah, it's about whom to target. Open source overlords are hard to satisfy, to be honest.
This is awesome, but a little JavaScript extension here and there is improving the user experience A LOT! If the website is growing, a site search is something I would personally recommend to have.

I made an app to learn bodyweight fitness! - https://fitloop.app

Got into learning bodyweight fitness from reddit and lacking access to a proper gym back in the day. Started initially as a simple webpage, I've now built a mobile app that earns about $1000/mo, its a way for beginners to get into bodyweight workouts and learn exercises with youtube videos.
Personally I use Gentoo with OpenRC. It's basically the opposite of bloat.

Thanks :)

I'm largely speculating, however I suspect the situation would be slightly improved in the US/Europe. Some of the distributors are local branches of international publishers/distributors. Hachette for example do have real-time stock management and ordering, and I think even an API. I inquired about this with the local arm of Hachette that we order through, and they didn't really know what I was talking about. I assume they use it internally, but there's nothing exposed.

With the big distributors, I think the situation may be improved elsewhere in the world. However, given we're after social emotional development themed books, we do tend to branch out and order from smaller boutique publishers. I imagine their operations would be similar worldwide.
Cool! CSS question: how does the page stop the browser from scrolling down to the #anchor? It remains at the top, which is great, but I wonder why?
And she absolutely ran it into the ground.
I think what the article does get right is a fundamental technique to solve a problem when you're stuck: reduce to the essentials, get your terms / naming things right, write a teeny self-contained thing (I call it 'building a model') to try it out. When the solution is understood and has proven to work, integrate. Especially when you're hard pressed for time, this may prove faster overall than the approach where you fumble with many screws.
I've gotten through the first 16 problems, haven't had a lot of time to work on it. Mostly used python 3, for a couple of the easy ones at the beginning I just solved them with shell tools (I think it was simple sed or awk one liners). And Emacs.

It is mentioned in the second part if I remember correctly regarding changes to identity-dependent operations (namely ==).
Disclaimer: I _still_ like systemd.

My only real big pet peeve with Systemd is the documentation is somewhat lacking..., like it's all there in the manual, but its laid out poorly and makes it hard to understand. The interaction between unit files and dependencies is also quite convoluted when you start digging into how things are ordered. There's a ton of unit file options that enable weird conditional behavior. The moment you need to start comprehending the difference between Wants vs. Requires and not hooking into running when multi-user.target is reached (the most common situation) you are in for a world of trial-by-error testing.

Systemd is great for starting simple background services on simple desktop and server environments. It becomes a real pain in the ass once you get beyond that.
Good question.

For my site, there are other options that I'd like to explore. Tooltips for smaller things (like definitions) maybe sidebar notes for large screen sizes, and inline notes (like show/hide inserting it between that line and the next) for mobile.

I'll look into those.
While I appreciate your stance, I am constantly amazed at how many people are happy to use NFC. It's demonstrably insecure [0], and using it for payment at the moment is only secure through obscurity. If it becomes more-prevalent, we will see more cases of pay-info theft attacks [1].

I am in Mid 40s with high BMI. I got Covid while waiting for my vaccination appointment. I did not have fever, cough, ache or anything but my brain was effected in strange ways. It was like flashbacks all the time, as if I perceived the now as a series of flashbacks. 6 days after testing positive, I was taken to a hospital by an ambulance, intubation and all. Have you seen the movie Source Code (2011). I felt like that guy in the ICU. Maybe also because of all the drugs they gave me, I had lots of hallucinations, I thought I was being experimented on. I was somewhat paranoid schizophrenic (this is my idea not a diagnosis) for a brief time. Then after 2 weeks I got better but could not walk. 1 month later I was discharged, my wife & mom helped me with my physical therapy at home. On the 15th day, I was able to stand up. Then, I got better and better. Now 8 months later, I fell OK...
There is so much truth to what you say. I used Linux exclusively from January 2000 until April 2012. A lot has changed in that time, but out of all the changes the three I'm most thankful for are:

(1) Xorg replacing XFree86 and making video "just work"

(2) Pulse Audio replacing OSS and making audio "just work"

(3) systemd replacing the dog's breakfast of scripting madness each distro built from scratch instead of collaborating

It amazes me that the same person was responsible for leading 2 of the 3 changes.

I for one welcome an increasingly unified operating system core, instead of the random competing and overlapping components we used to have. Sure they worked 97% of the time, but the other 3% when they didn't could be a royal PITA. Especially when two waring components wasted time pointing blame at each other instead of focusing on solving end user issues.
>Performance only matters if you are in competition with others. //

Or if 'resources' are limited, like carbon emissions.
Plus, the QA team probably felt this a lot more then end users, testing this reset procedure thousands of times.

The product team had probably received this feedback long before the Internet spoke. And, ultimately, found a 40-second factory reset procedure is not that big of a deal.

Totally agree with this sentiment. It's easy to criticize on the Internet and receive positive feedback for that. But, constructive replies are often the most clever & interesting ones. Great post, Shu!

Surely this exists already? It's good and obvious an idea to not be taken already.
I still have those old social media accounts, now they serve to drive content to my site (the primary focal point of content I create) though... I make full music videos for my site, and then cut smaller snippets of it to post as I can on social sites, which makes my life a lot easier.
I think these are different semantic axes. There is one axis of less and less safety guarantees (identity, value, primitive) while records are more of a “here is a short syntax if you promise to keep some conventions”. But as mentioned in probably the second part, `value record` will also work properly.
These books are fun, but should be taken with some skepticism.

This particular story with large mammals is a good example. The assumed causality does not hold closer scrutiny. Climate was also changing into something that works better for humans, and into worse for large mammals. There were many things at play. Humans may had or may not have had a role. However, it is very unlikely that humans had a defining role.

Good read nevertheless! Changed my mind how I view humans as mammals, and made me dig deeper into the topic.

Half of systemd's problems are coming from human aspects rather than technical.

I'm too tired to write them all over again, but here's a rundown, from me.

Ola’s dream of world’s biggest e-scooter factory hits hurdle
I'm an old school unixhead who's nonetheless made his peace with systemd because, honestly, it makes lots of things work way better than most previously available solutions did.

Thing is, it also forcibly changed a bunch of things by introducing defaults that were not at all what people expected. They might have been better overall, but it still caused some nasty surprises.

Let me try and explain a bit more concretely -

An easy example (not a hypothetical one, btw): if you have a physical server with multiple hard drives and one of them doesn't start, old school unix would boot everything it -could- boot anyway. SystemD changed that behaviour to "if a filesystem doesn't come up, and you don't set an option to tell systemd it's ok if that doesn't happen, don't finish booting".

Now, imagine you're somebody who has a physical server somewhere that has a big cache disk that you use a cheap drive for because if it fails, well, you've lost some cache space. Now imagine your server used to run a pre-systemd setup, and when you upgraded it to a systemd using version of the same distro you left all your settings as-is because everything seemed to be working fine. Now ... imagine that drive dies during a reboot ... and so the server doesn't finish booting, and so you can't even ssh in to it to figure out what's going on, and the only way to figure it out is to get physically in front of the console.

If that server is four hours' drive away, you might not be very impressed.

I still, overall, think systemd is pretty nice. But while some of the people annoyed with it are annoyed with it on a purely aesthetic/principle sort of basis, there are definitely some decisions the authors made that caused -very- surprising results for people who had been running servers for years already, and some of the dislike being thrown around is very much understandable.
That sounds like a pretty good change to me. Modifying a several ton death machine sounds like the kind of thing that should require certification.
Cron has all these features:

- single place control: crontab -e

- additional constraints: systemctl status && scirpt.sh

- randomize startup times: sleep ${RANDOM:0:MAX} && script.sh

The nice thing is that it integrates with the existing infrastructure (shell scripts). This means you don't have to add code to cron to add features.

I agree with the 10s of files in /etc/cron.daily, etc. But those are there for convenience (you can even remove them from /etc/crontab)
Congratulations to the systemd team.

I still won't use systemd, and to the extent of my ability I will fight the trend of the Linux ecosystem hard-depending on it. But it's a bit silly to be anything but grateful for open source and choice.
Android is tiny compared to the Java ecosystem. Also, Google embraces kotlin mostly because they can’t keep up with JavaTM’s development. OpenJDK is at version 17 with many important changes, terrific performance improvements, etc. Not long ago android didn’t have lambdas, but it is still around Java 8. Kotlin is just syntactic sugar of some newer java features on top of older java.
Mutable value types in C# have a place, but they also come with plenty of pitfalls. Java tends to lean in a direction where those don't exist. Cf. captured variables in closures as well: having to treat them as final avoids a number of problems.
no, it's not the init process, it's one of the tools in the systemd suite
Meh,

Sure, save the user from themselves while driving. Still, I wish Tesla was much more open on the car. For example I wish it had Chromecast/Airplay so I could play movies from my phone (fine if it's only when parked). I also wish it supported iOS CarPlay and Android Auto, even if was just in 2/3rd of the screen in a window. I don't use the self driving feature and I'd rather use the full google maps experience than their limited built in version. And, I wish they allowed apps (heavily sandboxed).
She argues that it's inaccurate to call them liberals because the term didn't exist then (at least with the same meaning, "liberality" meant generous) and they wouldn't have any idea what you were talking about. Basically, Anglophones retcon'd a rights-based liberalism in the late 1800s.

Personally, I think she takes the argument a bit too far. She credits Constant and de Staël for formalizing liberalism in the aftermath of the Revolution, essentially trying to save the good parts from the wreckage. But, like, Thomas Jefferson helped write the Declaration of the Rights of Man, which laid out the key principles Constant was trying to salvage, and he was most certainly influenced by Locke.

Still, I think this book is well worth reading as a corrective to the Anglo-centric, individual rights-based history of liberalism I've been exposed to in the past. There's a lot more to the story.
> The National Museum of African American History and Culture disagrees. They also say that promptness is also racist.

No, they don't. They said that the belief that hard work will naturally lead to success is more prevalent in white culture. Slaves worked hard without much success, so it is easy to see why this would be less prevalent in black culture, but this difference in beliefs is something that society should strive to fix.

These programs teach that people who are poor are more oppressed than people who aren't. It appears only I knew that, but now you do too.

> Because public schools suck.

Charter schools are public schools. Some charter schools like Kipp perform far better than schools run by local school boards, including top ranked magnet schools, as Angrist showed in Chicago. Private schools in places with vouchers in the US tend to be worse than public schools, wasting time on religious indoctrination. The solution is to expand charters for organizations that run effective schools and examine what they are doing that works, not to completely deregulate and let kids be educated by charlatans.
Every product in the world sells itself as being as cheap as a cup of coffee or a cup of tea "so just pay it, cheapo". If that excuse actually worked, nobody would be drinking tea or coffee because we'd have spent our money on random apps and services.

It's necessary to prove an app brings more joy than a good $5 drink does--most products fail to cross that threshold.

> you do seem to be deliberately misinterpreting the parent post.

am i though? or is society using an overly simplistic (and therefore dangerous/harmful) economic theory that considers our natural world an 'externality' and tries to grow the economy infinitely?

the Tesla car that was blown up was a piece of 'non-modular black-box consumer-grade tech'. i wish more people would recognize the horrific waste and planned obsolescence our current institutions are encouraging, and work on alternatives to replace them (my earlier posts: mikorzal.org/valueflo.ws, holochain + open source ecology).

anyway, at the root of comments like my earlier one is both a deep love for our planet, as well as 'earthgrief' (Chellis Glendinning/Francis Weller). it's those two things, as well as capitalist alienation: currently being unable to adequately exercise autonomy - not being able to sustainably take part in concretely building transitionary systems with others. not being 'allowed' and supported to be as deeply and continuously curious as i'd like to be because of the way science and tech are increasingly enclosed in new knowledge fiefdoms.

the reason i quoted the word 'profitability' was related to the concept of audience commodity and the destructive profit-seeking nature of youtube (as well as the economic system as a whole which google/alphabet etc. are inside of):

“the paying customers are the advertisers, and what is being sold are the users themselves, not their content. This means that the source of value that becomes Facebook’s profits is the work done by the workers in the global fields and factories, who are producing the commodities being advertised to Facebook’s audience.”

My very-similar-idea of signing PDFs for chain-of-custody (also as a NFT satire) included a "use the cert-transparency chain as a side-chain to solve double-spending" bullet point. It doesn't prevent double-spending (selling the same thing twice), but it can ensure that it can be audited.

> It's insane for smaller companies to try and ape them

In my cynical view, When you think about engineers as people who want to stay up to date with 'latest and greatest' so that they are not left behind in the market, the use of their frameworks makes sense. Also, the frameworks do solve very key problems in their own ways (and also avoid re-inventing the wheel).

So the truth lies somewhere between the 2 sentences there. There's nothing which we can not achieve without frameworks however managing that solution is a pain. More so if one is working on a bigger team.
But then, does she still acknowledge that they represent some sort of tradition or at least chain of thinking? Maybe it should be called something besides "liberalism" but it seems odd to say that you can't name a school of thought ex post facto.

This is perhaps just getting hung up on one part of what seems to be a more substantive corrective than that, though.

Found it in my late parents’ library while clearing it out.

Haven’t quite finished it yet but my therapist is eager for me to follow through and discuss it.

Essentially it’s about realizing (I guess it’s less controversial today than it was when the book was published, although I did meet people that led me to believe they didn’t quite agree) that men - and women, there’s a sequel book dedicated fo women too - don’t plateau and stay the same once they exit post-adolescence.

There are legitimate passages later in life, that don’t necessarily mean crises or failures to resign to one’s fate, that need to be lived through rather than dismissed.
