I prefer Minikube over Kind, because Minikube supports a lot more options and features, and has integrated the same features as Kind. Kind has not had a new release for almost a year.
The computer adapts to the human, not the other way around.
Classic annoyance of a page published on Notion: you can't read the article by just pressing the space bar. Eventually I gave up reading it.
That's fantastic. It sounds like it might be a small rural town? Those are often great. But it sounds like even though they didn't outright make commercial space illegal, like is commonly the case, they still put up enough "red tape" to have nearly the same effect as zoning making commercial space illegal.

These sorts of code and zoning are legal inventions within the past century, and they tend to be seemingly minor technical changes, but they have absolutely huge negative repercussions. I'm not advocating for elimination of zoning and codes, but rather of quick change of them to promote more walkable neighborhoods rather than prohibition of them. Elimination of all planning departments would probably be better than having them, but the best outcomes would be from radical reform of planning to be more centered on the needs of all parts of communities, rather than the most conservative of neighbors.
I've hopped around a few medium sized established companies and early stage (pre-series A and series A) startups over the past 8 years as an iOS developer.

With coarse grained detail, it's a fair characterization to say that big companies require more navigation of interpersonal politics and hierarchical structures within the company, but afford you the opportunity to work on (more often than not) bigger problems (but you may be a small part of that big problem). And on the other hand startups allow you more autonomy and the chance to work on a wider breadth of the product yourself.

I've been told more than a couple times in bigger company land to stay in my lane, while in startup world that more and more executive functioning is required of me.

Both are valuable and right now I'm in bigger company land, that is until I get the itch again ;) Bigger companies tend afford more work life balance and respect your time, but your millage will vary. If you plan on starting a family anytime soon then it might not be a bad idea to situate yourself at a big company for a while.

One key for finding fulfillment as a smaller contributor in a larger company is finding personal validation outside of work. If you find things are going too slow for your taste and this frustrates you, then realize it's by design; people have lives outside of work and would like to live them :)

Working remote is just as viable in either scenario for my case, but I'm less sure about yours since robotics can only be simulated up to a certain point before you need actual hardware, right?
There's also a "networking stack" or "bluetooth stack," but I can't name a single component of the BSD network stack (unlike LAMP).
It’s worse than exponential, it’s factorial :)
And it's not just bridges, it's also homes, schools, roads, and railroads. Basically while the older generations were in charge is was policy from local to federal level to build. It was policy to build plenty of homes, plenty of roads, airports, universities, even new cities. Then as soon as the Boomers ascended to political power, everything flipped: we suddenly ceased to build anything, and the only goal of government policy became to enrich the people who had already enormously benefitted from their parents' investments, while impoverishing the next generation. Taxes were cut. Budgets were cut.

Unfortunately the only way out of this mess is to extract wealth from those same Boomers, but as long as their stranglehold on political power remains - and let's face it, they are not even done ascending into power, considering that people like Feinstein, Biden, and Pelosi are even older than them - it won't happen. The nation will continue to fall to pieces.
Just thinking out loud, if one of the FAANG "imploded" (maybe with the exception of Netflix) and everybody quit or lost their jobs, would that bring some big downward pressure on developer salaries? I mean suddenly there is a glut of arguably top talent looking for another job they are used to top salaries. It's in a very loose way equivalent to Bear Sterns or Lehman going down in the financial crisis and starting the whole thing unravelling.

Maybe not...
Ironically, the referenced article on how to write good git commit messages (https://cbea.ms/git-commit/) gives no "why" for most of its points. It lists 7 rules, of which 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are simply declared without rationale.
> Are you saying the bus driver deviated from the usual route?

I didn't say anything like that, no, nor any of the other invented things you tried to add to my actual statement.

.

> Perhaps a passenger boarded with their collection of lead figurines.

Pew says the average American weighs 181 pounds.

I'm not sure why you think you need lead figurines. Two tons, 181 pounds at a time, is only 22 people.

PATransit busses are rated for 42 people plus two wheelchair bound people.

This bus is over weight at half load.

Please be less sarcastic. Thanks.

Yes, that's why I blame them.

Hey I apologize if there's been a confusion, I have nothing to do with this article, I was just trying to point out a distinction I thought was being missed.
I've seen convincing arguments to the contrary. That most post-war suburban development was financed by debt, and long-term infrastructure maintenance was never properly accounted for, and turning out to be way too expensive.

I've also heard from too many sources that a lot of US infrastructure is crumbling. Of course it's possible that all those people are wrong and you are right. I wouldn't know.
In this case we aren't even talking about developers who are struggling with slow computers: Even generic office workers struggle with slow machines and it impacts their productivity.

I'm not defending the practice and I am firmly in the "High performance orgs require people to have the best tools you can reasonably buy"
As a counter-point, my app was able to rely on the system Python 2.7 for FIFTEEN YEARS because it was an extremely stable component of the OS (and it allowed the app binary to be literally 10 megabytes).

Now? I honestly can’t think of a way to release without adding something like 100-200 MB to the app bundle, consisting of an entire Python installation. With a user-facing app it is not ideal to try to say something like “just download Python and tell me where it is”.
The "active community" is unified, I know a bunch of people with some personal piles of Python 2 who I don't expect to upgrade until they have no other choice. I also don't see why they should -- their code is running fine.
If your question was for a machine to run Atari System V Unix on, though, I'm afraid the answer is: an Atari TT. None of the m68k machines (or FPGA emulations thereof) mentioned in the other comments will run it.

Perhaps (but I didn't test) Atari System V Unix would run under the Hatari emulator.
Any reason not to create a work twitter account?
This is just such a sad situation. The scientist's reputation has taken a big beating and he will now be looked through the lease of these accusations for rest of his career, if not more.

The last paragraph stood out for me.

“My love is science. I did not want politics, right? I saw that, and I got away from it. I do my devotion to science. I help people, I support. But I learned that you can’t get away. Politics impacts everybody. So if there are things that are not right, we all need to speak out.”

Lot of times most of us, including me, don't speak out against wrong policies. We all think "let's just focus on our own thing" it won't affect us. But we are all wrong, "Politics impacts everybody".
For a successful academic, making a bunch of money in a lawsuit is the polar opposite of what they want to do with their life.

If you value doing science and inventing things and mentoring students and the prestige that comes along with it, simply getting a payday isn't anything like justice. Of course, such lawsuits serve more than simply attempting to actually get justice (which is usually impossible) but to dissuade the state from doing it again to others.

Which is cold comfort when all you wanted to do was play with heat transfer. He said he doesn't even want to apply for grant funding anymore, and I can't blame him. You don't become a professor studying heat transport because you're psyched to go toe to toe with the department of justice over made up nonsense that already wasted a year of your career directly and screwed up decades of accumulated talent and reputation.
Kind of like how various Python 2 releases broke stuff and required time to fix? It's easy to forget that if it wasn't memorable but, for example, I remember the specific 2.7.9 release for that reason.
Ah, I know RMS claims to not using any plugins and barely any customizations since emacs is "exactly how he wants it" as the author. I am curious if there are others who feel the same way.

and here I thought we might have compatible points.

In the hypothetical where it is demonstrated to be effective, I don't think it is ethical to suppress the use of one effective treatment to incentivize uptake of another (vaccination). That is to say, we shouldn't deny treatment with an effective treatment or post exposure prophylatic because it might embolden other people to forgo an earlier intervention (vaccination).

Your supply objection is a valid concern, but not absolute. I agree populations with parasites should get first priority if their relative benefit is greater. That said, there is additional manufacturing capacity and the ability to easily expand it. If you say excess supply cannot be used, this is the same as your argument above.
Not that it matters but I've worked on a mix of green-field projects and mature codebases in various domains with teams of various sizes over more than a decade of professional experience.

I could assume you're throwing shade on "prolific programmers" out of some sense of insecurity, but it wouldn't be fair to generalize about strangers on the internet ;)
Your point earlier was either to say that you are literally uneducated in the humanities and proud of it, or that you do consider yourself well-educated, despite not having even heard of Marcus Aurelius.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter.

As someone who is well-educated in the humanities, do you believe that most people receive a thorough and effective education? Why did you find it worthwhile to say that Cicero/Ovid/Plutarch are obscure for them?

Alternatively, it is surprising that someone like yourself, with some baseline of a humanities education, has dedicated time to learning about an author of light whimsy ahead of an author of a readable, relevant, extremely thoroughly time-tested, and influential work of moral philosophy. Marcus Aurelius is perhaps the embodiment of the title of philosopher king, and a lot of people would benefit from reading him.
Where's the demand?

On file sharing networks I see some movie that is in theaters now and there are 13,000+ participants. It turns out to be an awful capture with a camcorder or phone, really shaky and blurry. The audio is marginal at best and I'd have trouble understanding it if it was in English or some language I know somewhat but it often turns out to be in some language where the only words I know are Da and Do-svidaniya.

Some weeks later the Blu-Ray comes out and there are maybe 3 people sharing it. If you are lucky the download completes but actually I just buy the Blu-Ray most of the time.

I have an ATSC 3 receiver and antenna pointed at Syracuse. There is exactly one ATSC 3 transmitter that has beautiful 1080p signals from the big three networks, unfortunately the power allocation of the ABC signal makes it unviewable just like the ATSC 1 ABC signal. My android devices can get the AC4 audio but the Xbox One and Apple devices just can't. Instead of a 4k signal they are just multiplexing a bunch of normal channels. I hear the real reason Sinclair is going to ATSC 3 is that they want to add a gambling app to sports broadcasts.

I have stimulus cash burning a hole in my pocket and can't buy the electronics I really want. I think about buying a 4K HDR TV (available) but for the 4K to be really worth it I need a bigger TV, I'll have to change the setup in the room and find a different place to put it, but thank God I have a man cave and won't have to argue with my wife about it.

I have a laptop with a 4K screen. It's cool, most apps work OK, but the size of the labels and UI components in Lightroom is never right, particularly if I have multiple monitors plugged in. If people keep shoving me money for taking photographs maybe I can afford Capture One in addition to Creative Cloud and that will be better.

As for 4K gaming the 1070 card in that laptop wouldn't come close to decent frame rates. The adulterer down the road gloats that he has a recent model GFX card that he uses to mine Etherium but GFX cards good enough for 4K gaming just aren't available for decent folks.

Denmark welcomes 'the life we knew before' and scraps Covid-19 restrictions
Based on the reddit thread, this does appear to be a legitimate issue. Conspiracy theories aside, it seems to be a search quality issue. I do wonder why that support thread was deleted though. It's unfortunate that Matt Cutts (former head of web spam team at Google) or someone else from the search quality team isn't communicating as early and often re issues like this anymore. Some transparency would be nice.
It's been a while, but IIRC, Penn Hills (the one in Allegheny county) has seen reduced service from the Port Authority over the last 20 years, with many bus lines being outright discontinued/consolidated.
IIRC Fedora dropped python2 in the default install a couple of years ago.
Curious on liability here. If a bridge collapses is the municipality liable for repairs to your car / medical?

Do you assume this risk when you drive that infrastructure failure is your liability?

What's the benefit to having Signal on F-Droid vs. downloading the APK?
I’m not sure that is the right takeaway. The US espouses freedom. Unless someone is actually spying, their personal beliefs and political affiliations shouldn’t be subject to government scrutiny.
Oh come on, lets not blatantly lie like this. China's "Cultural Revolution" was a mass extermination of the educated people in the country. There's zero comparison between the two.
I also use vim not neovim. I don't like the neovim culture and money grab. I think the founders misrepresented the origin story. But neovim does have some nice features. But not enough for me to switch and vim is being improved at a rapid pace. Still team vim.
OS does not matter anymore, it is a commodity. That’s why copies of any OS cost almost nothing at retail.

What matters is the configuration of the OS and the network, and most importantly the selection and configuration of applications, whether hosted or client (or both). That is where DoD should focus their resources.
that's just config management for the windows desktop and has been around for ages. They mostly just flip a corresponding registry key and are idempotent, so the impact is minimal aside from the first time policies are processed. The reason that DoD site appears in search is because their STIGs (security technical implementation guides) are a freely available best practice reference for any windows administrator to use.

You do not want to apply all of their reccomendations to any computer, but I will say that fully STIG'd computer will actually not take that long to boot up, aside from the first application of the policies. Login performance usually comes down to drive maps, printer maps, and startup programs.
Your point being: since the US provides aid to countries whose human rights records are controversial China should be free to steal and misuse US intellectual property. Great argument. Have fun in a world where China's views on human rights prevail. I'm sure you & your family and their families will be very happy.
Over 20k servers have their iLO interfaces exposed to the internet
This is troubling. Every time a government refuses to pay an army and just disbands it without further compensation for its veterans, there is instability. Bremer's occupation in Iraq is the most recent example of this. Amazon is unleashing a destabilizing force upon social media, as now disgruntled, unpaid, ronin influencers are free to Tweet whatever they like, with no master to obey.
For perspective: I work in a difference armed force but with basically the same issue. We once had a problem with soldiers stealing memory sticks from workstations (unclassified systems). Take only one stick and the machine still works. The theft problem goes unnoticed long enough that we cannot nail down who stole what when. Answer: Give the computers only one memory stick. Thefts will then be noticed quickly. Now, almost two decades later, we are still stuck with that bonehead decision. I requested an upgrade, an extra 4gb of ram on a "new" windows workstation. "Sorry sir, but we don't have any 8gb sticks and are not allowed to give you 2x4gb."

I know of a military computer (simulation display, 4x4K screens) running off a single 64gb stick because they couldn't bring themselves to install 4x16 or even 2x32.
Wow, from headline thought this'd be a one-note joke, & thus kinda dumb.

But trying actual mechanics I now see it as "ha, ha, but serious" – a fun little illustration of the different contours of binary-strings vs words, with a minigame of in-the-head decimal-binary conversion. Bravo! For people at a certain stage of learning computer science, it's perfect.

Love the FAQ too. (Sp: 'tommorow` -> `tomorrow`.)

Further along the joke/idea, you could add:

• a timer, which starts on 1st guess, for an extra competitive dimension.

• a 'random guess' button (as in Absurdle), so people don't start with the superficially-easiest-to-reason-from `0` or `255` guesses every time – & if deterministically pseudorandom per day, everyone who starts with the same 'random' guess could still compare timings. (I'd instinctively started with the same serial number as today's puzzle, just in case that was part of the joke. But the serial number could be the 'random' 1st guess!)

• a 'hard mode', ha-ha

Potential advanced variants:

• 16-, 32-, & 64-bit versions – 'Binarywordle', 'Longle', 'Longlongle', etc – join the 21st Century!

• 'Hammle', which somehow mixes in either a hamming-weight hint or guess-requirement, of either the target-number or some product of guess & target

• 'Bitwisle', which displays a randomly-chosen logic-operator over each column, & the hints returned in that slot aren't mastermind-style but some other bitwise combo of guess & target. ('advanced bitwisle': user has to figure out the operators, too; 'super bitwisle': hint squares are produced by varied mixed-operations on nearby answer-bits - any "Rocky's Boots" fans out there?)

• 'Noisle', which gives hints with some error-rate, either fixed or also part-of-the-game to estimate - maybe there's a parity/checksum bit in the message, or hints, too.

Thanks!
I think Element (https://element.io/) is worth looking at for anyone who wants something decentralized. Unfortunately I have exactly 1 contact who uses it, but that was true of Signal as well 8 years ago
It turns out not only is not doing anything an option, it’s the option that has been selected.
Waymo sues California DMV to keep driverless crash data hidden
Wow, this is new. Last time I had checked this option wasn't available. Thanks for pointing this out.

Although it seems it won't scale automatically for background processing, a clever setup with some alarms may have a decent mileage. Nice to know.
bought and used many IDEs (still owns all jetbrains stuff) but 99% of the time I'm using vim for everything.

it does have a learning curve and took a while to settle down all those key bindings with plugins. once you past that point, it never stands in the way, and I don't need move my fingers away from the keyboard to pick the mouse and click here and there then move my hands back to keyboard anymore.
Well, yes, and you could say that about any other tech company.
One idea for speedups that this article doesn't mention, that I've used very successfully, is splitting an extension into two parts: The Javascript extension that runs in VS Code, and a separate language server[1] written in whatever fast language you desire (without having to compile to WASM).

I do this with an extension I develop, and it works very well. Microsoft even provides a library to make this easy, and sample code[2]. In my case the language server is written in Rust, and uses tree-sitter. This combination feels like a super power. (The first version of my extension was written in clojurescript, using the instaparse parser. It quickly became apparent that it was way too slow.)

A note on my experience with tree-sitter: It's awesome in every way except one. It's so fast that so far I haven't even bothered with incremental parsing: I can do full parsing on every keystroke; and I know that if I ever need a speed boost, I can add incremental parsing. The API is sane and easy to use. The query API is powerful. But the main weakness of tree-sitter is that the error messages are nearly content-free. The most common error looks like this: "(error)". In my case I can deal with that, but I can imagine that for many purposes that's not sufficient. There's been an issue open for 3 years about improving the error messages[3] but I haven't seen a ton of progress (unless I missed it?).

BTW, you are pouring out level-headed good sense all over this sub-thread and I'm loving it. Thank you. How are you so patient? :)
GUI apps also have their own special $PATH set via launchctl.
Amazon has increased their pay considerably lately and may be on track to increase it even more (source: our negotiation service at Levels.fyi). Keep in mind there's tons of developers out there that earn nowhere near 'FANG' pay. Amazon can easily pick these people up because they pay a lot more still than vast majority of companies. They certainly will and have been losing top talent though.
Plenty of people still use Vim; probably more than use Neovim (just a guess). Now that Vim has asynchronous plugins and terminals, there won't be much difference for you unless you want to write your own plugins or elaborate configurations: you can do that in Lua with Neovim, which is much saner than using Vimscript. The only other reason might be if you want to use a plugin that’s not available in Vim.
Assuming this is Amazon, I expect the standard Amazon hate train comments. Not that I agree or disagree, it's just solid flame bait.
Sort of how coaches and educational staff will get a nice vacation to let the Army recruiters come in and try to convince a teenager to donate thier life to the military.
The outsized chrome bars atop every graph say "Safari monopoly" to you?

On the contrary, seems like Safari (webkit, which Chrome used to be as well) is one of the few moats against total chrome, and one of the few to remain up to date across devices. For this you want regulators involved?
