Fair non-spoilery warning, there is quite a bit of creepy existential angst.
I've done most of my dev work on my physical Windows box using Docker Desktop, but have access to a robust cloud VM network where all my Unix work is done. The end result of a dev process is an image regardless of what tool you used, right? So how does Docker know if you've used Windows or Unix to write and test a given image? Is there metadata written into the image?
Funny you mention it... Last week I started a fantasy series that has completely hooked me and I'm finding myself staying up a little bit later than usual as a result...
I have a different brand, but I use my electric pressure cooker many times a week. It's a great time saver for cooking real food from scratch.
Indeed, with windows' linux subsystem I have to say working from M$ sounds reasonable, maybe even better than dealing with Mac OS X half-baked package managers and subpar docker experience.

It used to be that Windows had a better UX than OS X (imho at least), but nowadays they're equally crap and they can't compare with what's available on linux.

With two machines, I'd still pick Windows for gaming dev and linux for everything else.

With three machines, I'd add a screen-less mac mini to do iOS related builds.
This is actually really much lower than I expected..

Though what helps is that most servers have a dedicated iLO interface and you really have to choose to configure it on the regular ones along with normal traffic. So out of band is default.

So in this case it's only people who have deliberately configured this. I think this is why it's not hundreds of thousands.

It doesn't have to be directly at us, there is a misconception that lasers don't spread, but they do, the inverse square law even still applies to them at big distances.
Apple should be ashamed. Microsoft does so much for open source (VS code, typescript, .NET, Blazor and dozens other projects) and even Goolge does quite a lot. And only $Apple$ is an ego-driven company that only cares how to squeeze as much money as possible from customers.
Your whole line of comments is equivalent to "No offense, but.." -> proceeds to offend.

Never once has the weight of my OS been a concern for me, and I'm going to make the assumption that is the general case for the majority of users.

Never once have I heard the metric of LOC/pixels.

You say it's bloat. I say its necessity.

It's just keeping up with the times - beautifying and manicuring to attract eyes.

And you failed to address my comment about all the logic that FE engineers have to deal with - which is more of the meat in FE development than what happens skin deep.
An important conclusion I once came to, which I am sure many others have found out for themselves: while an IDE may help you edit code, and vim may work well for you as an IDE, vim’s core competency is much more fundamental: it is as a text editor.

One is most likely to conclude this when using an IDE and wanting to juggle some prose in a comment. What
would have been so simple in vim is a little bit harder in your Monaco based editor. A happy environment is one where vim is never far away, no matter what you are working on.

> A note on my experience with tree-sitter: It's awesome in every way except one.

One more: the Rube-Goldberg build setup. You need rust, npm, node and a C compiler as well as Docker or Emscripten. Tree-sitter is mostly written in Rust and there are Rust bindings, but you can't use them to for the wasm compilation target because it requires linking a C generated grammar which breaks things. I hope they'll move on to something that's possible to build and use with pure Rust.
That's fair, cochlear implants may not be for everyone. I'd think it'd be worth a shot at least, but people should be still be free do decide against it or do whatever works best for them.
The most egregious stunt I've seen a bicyclist pull took place at Ocean Ave & Victoria St, San Francisco: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ocean+Ave+%26+Victoria+St/...

There was a Muni Metro light rail train (eastbound) stopped at the red light with passengers disembarking onto the narrow island, there are no cars in the lane between the island and the sidewalk so folks are crossing the street after leaving the bus.

Young (20's) guy on his bike comes zooming down the hill (from the West), sails through the people crossing the street and through the red light (blind, because of the train and the slope of Victoria st.) He's got both hands off the handlebars, holding his phone, texting or whatever, his eyes are on the phone not on the road, he's got headphones in, and the icing on the disaster cake: no helmet.

Since the post pretty much says “go out and do it!”

Does anyone have a good source of learning that is comprehensive and practical? I’m talking about a good guided book/tutorial on how to administer a server properly and what things one should know how to fix, not just how to set up Wordpress.
I'm running rke2 (ranchers k8s solution) on my server.

This means I can run my own servers and the only thing they do is running rke2.

I can take out a node and upgrade the base is without issues or anything.

And still get all the benefits of a high quality cluster is (k8s)

I love it.

And yes it's easier in my opinion and more streamlined to install a storage software (openebs) on my rke2 cluster and backing up those persistent volume than doing backup for my hard drives.

And my expectation is that while it works already very very good that it only gets even more stable and easier.
I put quite a bit of effort into managing my reading backlog so that I always have a handful of books that I am interested in reading ready to go before I finish the one I am currently on. Also, if I read 50+ pages of a book and it is not capturing my attention, I will put it back on the backlog queue and move onto the next.
Where I'm from, there used to be exactly one opperator.
It does, but you don't wanna have to deal with it constantly, if you want to be working on a lot of feature work as an application developer.
Wonderland Rattled After Co-Founder Tied to Failed QuadrigaCX Exchange
My experience is quite similar (down to the robotics specialization!), but my first jobs were in big companies in aerospace, oil tools, oil exploration computation, and eventually, computer manufacturers and software. At each of these, I learned some good things, but to be fair, only four of those companies were well-run enough to teach me anything of lasting value. (FYI: Rohr, Hughes Tool, Chevron, Sun Microsystems)

Since I left big corps 20 years ago, I've spent almost all my time in startups. Most failed, but two were successfully, if not terribly profitably, sold. (As CTO or similar for all, I'm happy to say that the failures fell for business or founding team issues, not technical reasons - my teams always delivered the technology/product, often on impossible schedules and budgets!)

Yes, it's true that (unless your startup is wildly successful) you don't learn to scale things as much in a small company, but in reality, scaling is overrated, and many people spend way too much time foolishly trying to optimize for it. What startups DO teach you is to think about building great solutions for the product at hand. The lack of time and resources inherent even in well-funded startups (I've had the fortune to work in one of those) drives more expansive considerations of options and creative approaches, and a focus on the end goal rather than the process. Big companies simply cannot think this way, and I am very fortunate to have had a couple of my own startups under my belt before I was invited to join others. I think that proved that I had not been made utterly useless by my big-corp experience. (I'd also done a lot of R&D work in the big companies, which is as close to startup mentality as they can get.)

I could go on for quite a while, but suffice it to say, you're not really missing much, if anything (except miserable, bigoted big-corp Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE) training and policies that will never let you speak freely for fear of HR reprisals...) When I am asked to build teams, unless the client is a big-corp culture that only another bi-corp mentality person can survive in, I strongly prefer to draw from people with smaller company experience - they are usually considerably more capable across disciplines, much more creative, and have an MIH (Make It Happen) mentality that you never find in the big corps. In short, having done both, I consider big-corp experience to be more of a detriment (especially true for PhDs IMO), and startup experience to be invaluable for developing real teamwork, creativity, and the ability to make it real!
In an alternative universe where IBM would have succeed in preventing the reverse engineering done by Compaq, they could very well had survived.

It was the PC clone market that killed them, more than management errors.

For (2), I have the following in my .vimrc and it does close to what you've described:

nnoremap <C-p> :FZF ~/src<CR>

I feel like there you could make it open the result in a split either by modifying this mapping command, or by hitting something other than enter once you have your target selected in the fzf window.

I just open the split first, then C-p in the split.
You may know him but I did not, so I erred on the safe side and added the "if there is any truth to it" as it's a much safer default to assume that everything I read on the Internet is possibly made up.

Yes, exactly right. The vast majority of programming is editing code, and cursorless allows you to A) Navigate code quickly and B) do things using less navigation than you could with Keyboard/Mouse.
You'll struggle to get visually appealing and automatically created from source data into one output

Do it manually

Excel

Lots of neat templates and easier to build something quickly

One Page Project Manager is a well known and easy to manage method but not very pretty

PowerPoint

Lots of cool templates and examples are available and you can tweak them, add overlays etc easily; better when trying to fit a lot of information on one slide

Draw.io

Takes a while to get used to it but definitely easier to use for lots of graphics it you need it, has a neat set of infographics primitives
I am grateful to Twitter and Reddit for reminding me to stop wasting time.
I think all the greyed-out responses here are indicative of the problem.
Please improve your reading skills.
Windows admins are some of the worst, especially in government. They don't understand how computers work, and so they pipe on anti-virus, anti this and that, hoping a product will magically solve the issue. But they won't move the default browser, or install an ad blocker. They won't put in policies preventing running the software in the first place or isolating its abilities.

After years of having terrible, exploitable software on windows, it's the natural result. Some manager gets a pdf exploit, and on windows there's simply nothing you can do about it. But IT has to do something, so to make them look good they throw another anti-virus on.
Isn’t search the most important part of Google? And in a way, everything they do is usually to get you to use Google Search (Chrome, Android, etc).
Ask HN: How “normal” is for a developer to be on-call?
A few years ago, my managers decided that developers should be on call for incidents. We didn't have any sort of first responder or site reliability engineering staff, so almost all incidents, no matter how small, would be handled by developers.

Things improved a little bit after some time, but the idea of on-call developers is still very much ingrained in the incident management process.

Now, personally, I don't quite understand why a developer would need to be woken up at midnight to diagnose something that cannot be patched by him or her alone.

Perhaps the issue is that our process is dysfunctional, but I'm wondering if it is necessary, or just common across the industry.
I'm moving over to Zoho. They have quite reasonably priced plans...and i think their free offering also allows custom domain, but not 100% sure. I myself will no longer use any free service like gmail, yahoo, etc. for anything as important as email.
OFX supports SSL/TLS as the protocol. Doesn’t directly support 2fa, but I don’t care as it’s read only downloads of data.

I still manually download csv or qif files, but that’s much less convenient than automatic imports. I like the idea of an open standard and wish banks would throw them away instead of improving them. OFX was issued in the 90s so the fact it runs at all is at least something.

Executive Assistant Director of National Security Branch Jill Sanborn was called up to testify before congress regarding the capitol riot.

When asked if fbi agents or informants committed crimes of violence, she responded "I can't answer that."

When asked "Did any FBI agents or FBI informants actively encourage and incite crimes of violence on January 6?" she responded "I can't answer that."

The answer to both should be an absolute, a line not crossed under threat of life in prison, or execution, for all officials responsible - "no, we do not do that. "

The FBI has a history of playing games with people, pushing them into actions and situations that otherwise would not have occurred or escalated into illegal activity. This has included partisan brinksmanship and politically advantageous maneuvering beneficial to whichever party currently holds sway at the fbi.

The FBI shouldn't be the dirty deeds department, but it's used as such far too often.

Then there's the whole five eyes situation in which intelligence agencies play a cute game in which they pretend it's ok to spy on other countries' citizens and share that intelligence. With no oversight or due process, to the extent that all phone and text activity is surveilled.

Throw Google's total obeisance to us government into the mix, and combine that with Centurylink's control or access to of more than 80% of global internet infrastructure.

The cctv prevalence in different areas varies widely, but Nest and Ring and Clearview AI are becoming ubiquitous.

So can you actually go in and buy the BigMac? Wouldn't price controls cause inventory of BigMac to disappear? Or does McDonalds happily sell them at a loss?
I have over 20 years of Linux/FreeBSD sysadmin experience ranging from universities to major silicon valley companies in both cloud and on-prem.

When it comes to companies I mostly support cloud these days but when it comes to me and my family I accept every downside and host as almost all of our digital lives in a 42u rack in a gutted closet in our house with static IPs and business fiber.

I know where our data lives and no one can access it without a warrant and my explicit knowledge. I also save myself several hundred a month in third party cloud provider fees to host the same services and can reboot upgrade or repair anything whenever I want, but in general no more maintenance than cloud servers . I also never end up with exciting bills when experiments are forgotten about.

You pretty much get all the pros and cons of home ownership. For me it is mostly pros. Also keeps me dogfooding all the same practices I recommend to my clients.
Makes me wonder how the leadership is financially aligned with allowing it.

A helpful comment below by @dhesive_wombat mentioned:

> The Highway Code doesn't have the force of law.

I would imagine it's the case that driver's education/training must (or is more likely to) adapt curriculum to cover things in the Highway Code. And if so, this def seems the right approach.

Making things illegal seems much less effective than making things habit.
The question is twofold: how many bridges do you need with much better efficiency? A two lane bridge with buses costs less than the 10 lane car bridge you need to carry the same number of people.

If you go on a road diet your maintenance costs go down because you’re building fewer lanes, not having tons of bypasses and bridges which exist only to take pressure off of congestion at chokepoints, etc. Those reductions mean you can spend correspondingly more on the necessary core infrastructure.
"reversing the sequence of those parts and reassembling the string from the components in reverse order"

Given that this was Perl and that's a small chunk of code, it's probably what I would have done in the same circumstance, but given that it already existed it wasn't worth shipping a migration out to the field with a new version. Generally humans didn't consult this table anyhow.

But it was good for a couple of good "wtf is that" faces from other developers the first time they look at the DB, if nothing else. They get it pretty quickly; the preponderance of "moc." and "ude." gets to be a dead giveaway pretty quickly, especially combined with some popular names ("moc.elgoog" almost sounds like a real domain Google might register someday). But still fun if you catch their face at the right moment.
I have worked at 4 small-to-mid-sized tech companies now and only one didn't have every software engineer on Macs with Docker.

I don't disagree that the built-in tools on Mac leave a lot to be desired, but you can also just brew install things and clearly Docker has gone to a lot of effort to make this all work on Mac, so the demand is there.

I switched to Linux for the current company, and was expecting fewer Docker oddities and better battery life, but I seem to actually have way more issues now, which - without sinking a week or more into investigating transient issues - I attribute to it not being isolated in a VM.

While this really sucked, this is an exaggeration. No charges. Still has his job. He can still file for government grants. The article starts with his colleagues offering up opportunities for him and celebrating that he is back.

Yeah, the feds screwed the pooch and messed things up, but I don't see where his reputation was actually harmed.
that is a good take on it, i would also say happiness, if you see your parents and grandparents falling in love and starting a life together but you are pushing 40 with nothing to show for it because of unstable environment conditions, poor schooling and unfair labor wages which are all have to do with equality then people will look for a representation of their struggle.

the blm movement was not just about blm, a lot of it was used as a starter to talk about a related issue. which is equality in general, you can see this by how many socialist supporters came out. in reality mlk supported fair wages for all working class people and that is the “conspiracy” theory of why he got shot, but obviously if people can’t eat, or if they feel very they are being massively mistreated, they will riot.
Then radical left speech shouldn't be allowed either, but many Mastodon instances allow communists (like, they literally call themselves communist) without any issue.

That may be the case, but why would it radiate on the non-star facing side? Take the JWT for example: no-one looking back at that would see anything higher than -50 degrees Celsius.

If the point was to capture energy then anything radiating from the non-star facing side suggests inefficiency.

Even if the solar energy has limits, why wouldn't they use waste heat to support, say, plant growth?

Not that I think it is a mega-structure, it's just it doesn't strike me as lack of IR emissions as being that informative.

It makes me even more sad that we haven't remedied that sort of thing everywhere by giving children rights, including free association with others. In other words, parents cannot govern friends and romantic partners.
My FBI file was for hacking into my school district's AS/400 that handled my school's attendance and grading system. Somehow using a public IP address with no access restrictions allowed a clear telnet path in from home. Compounding username and passwords that were all the same for every employee. I didn't change a thing, just LOLed and told someone. Bad mistake.
This was the late 90s.

Oh well, 2 week suspension and kicked off the computers for less than a year. A nice conference with FBI, police, my parents, IT and school administration. Fun times.

I learned my lesson to not talk about such things because their egoes were too fragile.

When they decided to give students in their website design class ftp accounts on the district wide web/email server running an ancient version of Debian, they didn't disable the shell, just added a login script to a menu for pine, etc. for people who telnetted in, which I'm sure the sysadmin was proud of. However, a few fast CTRL-C's broke out of his script menu loop and got me a shell, and they didn't shadow protect their password files. Ran it through john the ripper and had half the district's e-mail passwords in a default dictionary file including the root pw in a few minutes. LOLed and never told anyone about that.

Good times, the 90s....
