> At what point does the candidate pool simply run out of experienced people for these companies to hire? There's always going to be new grads and junior engineers entering the market, ready to sacrifice the prime years of their lives for the good of the company, but the demand for experienced engineers and other staff has never been higher. Where are they finding these people that aren't aware of the toxic work environment? Or are they aware and that fat TC is just too great to ignore?

There are a fair number of people out there who are either not careful or who think that somehow "things will be different for them" (e.g. assume they're some better-than-average person who can make it work, and that most of the horror stories are from people who just weren't as good as they are).

> I can't believe that the leadership of these companies fail to see the damage to their brand amongst potential employees. They're treading a very fine line between "How do we force the most out of our employees for profit?" and "What do we do when we can't get anyone to work for us any more?" I think we're starting to see the scale tip toward the later.

There a lot of things that work well until they suddenly don't. Maybe they're falsely reassured that since it hadn't caught up to them yet, so it won't catch up with them ever. Sort of like people who believe in technological progress, know about a lot of cases where technology pulled a rabbit out of a hat and saved the day (e.g. the Green Revolution [1]), so downplay alarm over threats as insufficiently optimistic because they assume a rabbit will be found in a new hat before the threat manifests itself.

Also, a company culture can be extremely difficult to change once it's established itself.

Only two weeks? My dude, you have impatient clients with deep pockets.
I'm not trying to judge you harshly. I'm trying to understand.

In your first post in this thread, "high tier" NixOS users were called condescending sadists. This is a libel as far as I can tell based on my own experience.

Then was a list of disliked phrases, and second to last in that list was the instruction to read the manual. I believe in reading manuals, as difficult and time-consuming as the effort may be. This made me think expectations for using the project were wrong.

Now you're linking to a repo you made to attempt to give new users a guide to getting started.

You clearly made an effort to be part of the solution. This is admirable.

I'm trying to connect dots here - what I think happened was, in the course of trying to get help filling in the blanks, you probably exhausted the patience of others trying to help you.

I question if what you've been trying to do works at this point in the project's lifecycle. What you're trying to do is hard enough in a completely mature project. In an environment where we acknowledge the incompleteness of documentation, new command line APIs that are evolving, and new ways of doing things (I'm currently thinking of containers after looking at your guide, and flakes as well), communicating a true North is extremely difficult especially if you aren't one of the core developers immersed in the current state of change.

I don't think the project is mature enough to declare a "right way" to do all the things. I don't think we have enough mature users to support filling in all the blanks, yet, either.

I'm sorry you've had the experience you've had. Maybe after taking a break, you can resume your efforts, but with tempered expectations. We're all asking a lot of people who volunteer their time to build what should be acknowledged as a strategically important approach to computing.

We need more experts. The experts we do have are over-worked and under-appreciated. Perhaps you can help us there one day too.
It's obviously not hard for me, since I've already cited an academic paper on this thread that spells this out in detail, enumerating the pro-slavery clauses. You can go read it now and we can put aside the discussion of who knew what when. Obviously, your claim that the 3/5ths Compromise is "the only clauses(sic) in the US Constitution that addressed slavery in any form" is trivially refuted --- even removing the words "in any form" from your claim, it's still false.
I'd say that it definitely depends on the business.

Vipassana is insight meditation, which is generally contrasted with mindfulness (known as 'samatha'). "Mindfulness" is generally thought of as a prerequisite to insight, though an especially committed vipassana practitioner might well develop both concurrently. (The aforementioned 'insight' is of course meant as insight into the three core features of phenomenology, viz. the impermanence of subjective states, the all-pervading dissatisfaction of 'craving' and 'clinging' and the lack of a true 'self'.)

> This is not true. It could be enforced by courts and not by computers.

No, this doesn't get you through the century with copyright intact. Bandwidth and storage only get cheaper, and copyright-able files are not getting proportionally larger.

Eventually--and the 21st century does seem like a reasonable timeframe--something like Google Glass is going to become the norm, for all people, all of the time. Somehow or other we will patch the imperfections of memory and information exchange; think of it like recording everything you see and hear and being able to instantly share those recordings with those around you. We can already do this with a sentence or two of text or the gist of a melody! In the future it'll be a full book, or a song. It's no different from inventing vehicles that allow us to travel at hundreds of miles per hour.

What does copyright look like as the ease of recording and repeating an experience increases at the rate of the past few decades? If technology is in reach that would blur the line between "recording" and "remembering", and "recounting" and "copying", are we going to just say "no" to it? Allow our memories and communication skills to remain in their ancestral, imperfect state just because it is imperative that those who "own" certain bitstreams be paid whenever they reach a new consciousness?

Human courts can't enforce copyright when faced 2050's technology. Not when we can "memorize" and "repeat" everything we hear with the same ease that we memorize or repeat a haiku today.
Growing up in Switzerland with a dot as the decimal separator, I newer knew just how much of an outlier we are in this part of the world until now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#/media/File:...

We also use apostrophe as the thousands separator, so: 1'234'567.89 which I personally always found much more readable that using commas and dots. Is there any other country that uses this combination?
I think you're not considering the effective efficiency difference. This is what scares me about unreviewed (by society, government) advances in technology.

If we increase the efficiency of something (lets say software) by 100%, all the good things that can be done with software gain a 100% efficiency. However, that does not equate to all the bad things that can be done with software gain a 100% efficiency. Many destructive actions are orders of magnitude more efficient than all things constructive (currently), so the net result is that the world gets more dangerous.

For a more physical example, consider that a truck filled with powerful explosives could knock down a sky scraper. That is, for a handful of manhours, it is possible to undo the work of hundreds of thousands of manhours, plus the hundreds of thousands of manhours society would need to divert to managing the after effects of that disaster, and the emotional cost, etc.

There's an underlying efficiency bonus that destructive actions have that is not being accounted for.

Sure, the main things for me are:

It doesn’t matter how smart you are with reusable workflows you will never get to a truly DRY setup that scales for dozens of repositories.

Another major pain is that we still haven’t private actions. It was due end of 2021 (maybe it is out now but I checked a couple of days ago).

Setting up runners to look after a pool of repositories needs elevated permissions.

GH offers a way to enforce a list of enabled actions but this does not work with private binary registries hosting pre built Docker actions. The only thing that could prevent you to pull software at runtime from the internet, which means, if you want to have a decent security posture all you are left with is referencing actions using the full git sha version.

Many common use case require hacks, which is fun for a weekend project but isn’t great for a large scale operation. An example is simply running a workflow dynamically targeting the folders containing changes. At the moment you have to create a job, generate a build matrix on the fly and pass it in input as the matrix to the actual job.
> All this infrastructure must be extremely reliable, as we estimate some experiments could run for weeks and require thousands of GPUs

I'm glad it's an option now! That was crazy that it took 3 years for this feature to show up, though.

I think we need a few more "12 Factor App"-style guidelines for modern systems. 12 Factor goes a long way to abstract away the tendency for implementation lock-in. But we can probably create a few more guidelines specific to CI so it's portable. Use OAuth, use the same authorization layer as your VCS, tie secrets and artifacts to the VCS repo, make every plugin a Docker container. (I'm stealing these concepts from Drone because it has the best cloud-native design I've ever seen)

The final unsolved bit is how to manage a DAG of jobs and hooks around every event in a portable way. We probably need a universal CI spec and API, but maybe that's too specific.

Also: holy crap, I don't think I've seen Porter.sh before, I love the idea! Definitely going to look into that

You arguably get greater returns by keeping your slaves, but practicing forced breeding programs (which very much existed on plantations). If you can get slaves to produce 40% more children than they would without being raped, you end up ahead in representation without giving up your slaves.

Thank you for your suggestion. The reason I asked these questions is that I wanted to understand the mental model of the US immigration process, within the constraints of which statements like "the entire point of the program is to skirt the normal waiting process and buy their way to the front of the line for citizenship" would make sense.

As we seem to agree, there is no such thing as "the normal waiting process", so there's really nothing "to skirt" or "to buy their way to the front of".

In fact, presently, in the US there is absolutely no 'pathway to citizenship', 'normal waiting process', or 'legal immigration pathway' in the general sense -- in the way that it existed in the US prior to 1920s. Diversity visa lottery comes the closest to that, making 55,000 visas per year available to 10+ million applicants from 'underrepresented countries' -- the list of which among others explicitly excludes China, India, and Mexico.

To have a realistic shot at legal immigration, the wannabe immigrant, unless he/she qualifies as a refugee, must either (F) have a close family relationship with a US citizen OR (EB) satisfy requirements for an employment-based visa. Both F and EB immigration categories have multiple subcategories, each in turn subject to quotas and subquotas based on country of origin (typically, China, India, Mexico, Philippines, and the RestOfTheWorld).

So, if you're an Indian national in the EB-3 category (which means that you have jumped through a bunch of hoops already: you have at least a Bachelor degree or equivalent, you have won the H-1B lottery and your application was approved, and your greencard is getting sponsored by your employer), you'll have no hope of actually getting your greencard in any reasonable amount of time.

Instead, all that's left for you is to get upset with a whole lot of people 'skirting the process': F2A spouses of US citizens (how dare they marry their way to the front of the line?!), EB-1 extraordinary people, outstanding researchers, and managers (how dare they achieve their way to the front of the line?!), and EB-5 investors (how dare they buy their way to the front of the line?!). Which is still a fundamentally wrong way to think about it, even if the system is fundamentally illogical, ineffective, and unfair.
I genuinely don't see what's so complex about a service unit file. It's a simple INI file that has multiple sections that describes the service, tells what command to run and specifies any dependencies. It's literally the same thing that init scripts do except in a much more concise and efficient manner. And as I said before, there's a ton of systemd service unit files on any Linux system that you can take a look at and use as inspiration for your own services. Taking a little time to learn the ways of systemd is not a huge burdensome task like you're making it seem to be. I don't see why you think everyone should conflate systemd with complexity.

And about the voluminous documentation, well man pages are supposed to be comprehensive and cover every single aspect of the tools being described. They're not there to just be an intro to systemd for new users and administrators. If you want something like that, look no further than the "systemd for Administrators" series of articles written by the systemd author himself. https://github.com/shibumi/systemd-for-administrators/blob/m....

Yeah... I guess it depends on the person. I personally felt like "just get the work out the door" lost its novelty / interest for me after about five years doing it and that I spent the next five years becoming increasingly unsatisfied with my work after that. It is more satisfying for me to have more scope over larger projects. But not every place has that kind of work available. But "just crank out the bread and butter work instead" is not a solution either, because like I said, I find that unsatisfying. So if there isn't "strategic direction" type work, for some people the choice isn't between "throwing away good people" vs. keeping them doing the bread and butter work; they are going to seek greener pastures for the kind of work they prefer doing either way. There are other people who really enjoy just knocking things out no matter how long they do it, and I agree with you that many organizations would benefit more from having lots of that kind of person.

Towards the end of the article, they touch on this:

> The antidote is to be aware of desire or anger, instead of identifying with it.

The general idea is to develop a sort of recursive awareness. In your case, it seems like there was a problematic situation that you were struggling with, and that once you became aware of shifts of perspective as a tool for actionable-ness, you attempted to do the "opposite" of struggling (accepting uncontrollable things as inevitable). But now your awareness extends to being able to see that neither of those options are necessarily the two polar extremes of the spectrum of choices you have.

One aspect that kinda rubs me the wrong way when people talk about mindfulness is this idea that things can just magically fall into place. I think it downplays the difference between being aware of something and the effort it takes to do something about it. I tend to think of mindfulness in terms of turning unknown unknowns into known unknowns. The former isn't actionable because you're not even aware of it. The latter is actionable in some way, but the exact way to go about it may not necessarily be obvious or easy.
