You don't need Go, but it enables certain features like Hugo modules, which I find easier to use e.g. for themes than e.g. git submodules: https://gohugo.io/hugo-modules/

Basically it uses the Go dependency manager to help you assemble your website. Here's my documentation on Hugo modules for my work-in-progress Hugo theme: https://git.sr.ht/~skyfaller/maxethics-hugo#hugo-modules
It's also short for Tow Mater in the CARS movies, so, keep that in mind.
I've read the Eiffel books, and tried to use the Eifell tools, on Windows - a horrid experience. I am not a "UNIX folk" and I can't imagine what comparing UNIX and Eifell has to do with anything. It is basically an unuseable programming language and toolset, promoted by an egomaniac with a grudge against C++.

If you disagree, please provide a link to something medium sized and useful written in Eifel.
> They have VMs and sell them as "cloud" but provisioning happens like you fill out a form and they give you a server. It's not instant but fast enough if you don't spin VMs up and down like crazy.

I think this information is outdated - I just did a quick and dirty test and it took 8 seconds to have a new instance up and a second to shut it down.
Should we be pushing a positive mindset for anyone? To push a positive mindset (repeatedly) is sort of like saying you know how the other person should feel even better than they do.

I hate the constant positivity at work. You have to be positive or else you're "unengaged".
The truth is, C is merely a historical artifact, one step above the PDP-11 assembly, created in order to make the UNIX source code portable. It has transcended its original purpose, and with it being elegant and simple as it is, I would still never trust it to run a pacemaker.
Google's SRE books cover a lot of the things that large teams managing large distributed systems encounter and how to tackle it in a way that doesn't burn out engineers. Depending on organization size/spread, follow-the-sun oncall schedules drastically reduce burnout and apprehension about outages. Incident management procedures give confidence when outages do happen. Blameless postmortems provide a pathway to understanding and fixing the root causes of troublesome outages. Automation reduces manual toil. Google SRE has been keeping a lot of things running for a decade or more and has learned a lot of lessons. I did that from 2014 to 2018 and it seemed like a pretty mature organizational approach, and the books document essentially that era.
Excellent read indeed. Do you know any more that wood be at least in the same league?
> I will be choosing AMD in all of the workstations for my engineering group

Too bad AMD has largely ignored the workstation market. The last threadripper release was mid 2020 and is a Zen 2 product. Newer Zen3 based chips have been credibly rumoured, but AMD themselves havent said anything about it.
I’m not sure how web semantic would save the project.

Einstein's Emigration to America (1932)
I don't think that's exclusive to academia.

Business also need to choose wisely when to make ugly POCs for prototyping and when to create robust products / libs to save money long term.

It's not uncommon for labs to have frameworks and internal libs to aid prototyping and experimenting.
As a counterpoint, there is Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley came entirely out of left field, ConcernedApe released a pixel graphics farming sim of all things, made $35 million dollars because he’d literally done it all himself, even the game engine, and the niche (farming games) he was competing with, including games like Harvest Moon which has teams of developers pumping out absolute crap compared to what he made. Then again he wasn’t necessarily doing it to make money in the first place, it uses “timeless” pixel art, and he spent 6 or so years making the game with no actual time limit to when he could release it (as he had a day job and wasn’t going to run out of money).

And the game just has a soul that makes it feel great to play and be in. I just got around to playing it this year and absolutely love it.
While the Hinge model is good in limiting how much liking men can do - it unfortunately doesn’t limit the same problem that dating apps have. Men just wildly outnumber women on them. The general 4:1 ratio is pretty typical (most dating apps don’t even publicize their numbers). So, really you need to limit what men like the most and what women like the least.

I think limiting likes to even less than 7 like Hinge does is the way to go. Maybe 2-3 a day for men and 10+ for women. I think limiting matches is also a better way to go. I’ve seen the screens of many women and 50+ matches is normal. Whereas most men get 0-5 in their entire experience. It’s making it where most women are overwhelmed with options and won’t progress forward with any of them and use most for entertainment.

The other fun part of this is that most women on Hinge never even visit the discovery part where you like new people. Instead they just look at the people who have liked them and this takes up all their time. It would explain why most men get 0 likes in their entire Hinge experience. They always have to initiate. (Liking and messaging of course…)
The only thing to be gathered from this test is that you're probably not a big fan of Shiraz in general.

It's ok to not like certain kinds of wine.

Personally, I prefer dessert wines, Moscato, Riesling and the like, and can't stand most dry reds.
Hetzner provides unbelievable value but didn’t get much US attention since they were only located in Europe.

3 months ago they launched in the US, and as such - they are starting to get more attention.

I have found yet another C expert.

https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/opmemc-1/memor...
I don't know your specifics, but I have worked on some large scale architecture changes, and 200 engineers + 2 year feature freeze is generally not a reasonable ask. In practice you need to find an incremental path with validation and course correction along the way to limit the amount of concurrent change in flight at any moment. If you don't do this run a very high risk of the entire initiative collapsing under its own weight.

Assuming your estimation is more or less correct and it really is a 400 eng-year project, then you also need political capital as well as technical leadership to make it happen. There are lots of companies where a smart engineer can see a potential path out of a local maximum, but the org structure and lack of technical leadership in the highest ranks means that the problem is effectively intractable.

They can be integrated with those things.

But how many developers do you know outside of your own work team who know how to install an AWS Lambda function?

I've been developing a long time and I have Lambda functions in production but the entire process makes me want to bash my head against the wall to the point of unconsciousness.

The idea that we can write off wordpress as bad in one breath and then recommend a "static" site system which is a bunch of HTML pages with a set of specific third party hosting dependencies has always struck me as interesting. JAMstack is a manifesto for dependency on subscription microservice providers.

You could also learn awk on bash/command line and save your awk-related command history. Keep your test data, awk script and awk command history in one directory so that you can review it later on if needed. Just keep it simple. Goes for bash scripting, sed, etc as well.
Absolutely. Preventing overeating was likely the biggest contributor to my weight loss. I stopped going back for seconds every time. The next biggest was probably eating higher quality foods, similar to your examples. My memory is fuzzy on this detail, but I believe the times I ended up hungry were largely the days on which I'd had an especially calorie dense meal, like pizza, earlier in the day, so my calorie allowance was smaller come dinner time. However, pizza being my favorite food, I'm unlikely to give it up. Rather, I try to make it the last meal of the day. I found that I was able to resist the late-night munchies easier than mid-day hunger pangs.
it's magical thinking to believe that 'fixing' institutions will somehow fix society, especially for the poor. greater institutional efficiency will simply concentrate wealth faster. the same for UBI, which would lock in disparity rather than relieve it (by making extractive businesses more profitable, exacerbating inequalities).

poverty isn't simply about money or possessions, but rather is fundamentally about opportunity and esteem, to meaningful work and fair wages first and foremost. that means, most importantly, lower profits and a radically different economic dynamic that doesn't place capital on a singular pinnacle.

this is the elephant in the room that no politician really wants to address around poverty, because it'd directly oppose all of their wealthy backers in one fell swoop. it's exactly why we never get any movement, except hair-brained policies, like UBI, that are meant to surreptitiously funnel public funds into greedy private hands and make things worse for the poor in the long run.
Correct. Throwing software over the wall to "other people" and letting them deal with the problems of running the software is guaranteed to lead to low quality, inefficient processes, or usually both.
No, not validating user input and passing it to some crazy feature rich library like JNDI is possible in any language. Not denying that Java did contribute by shipping with such an overengineered mess like JNDI in the first place.

Log4Shell wasn't a bug, log4j worked as expected and documented. It's just a stupid idea for a logging library to work in such a way.
As a person, your value is intrinsic, not dependent on your output or ability. Work/school/capitalism/HN /etc. emphasize productivity, and you can invest in yourself and your output, but keep a broad view and remember to invest in others and their well-being. It’s far more important to be kind, humble, and loving than to be learned or impressive.
So you basically saying that no matter what one should always stick to Amazon. I have my own experience that tells exactly the opposite. To each their own. We do not have to agree.
Nice, thanks :)

I went through a lot of what you’re going through and I realized something: I just really like what I do. To the point that reading technical articles in my spare time is not work to me. Learning new things is mentally very gratifying, even if that may never go into my resume.

I wouldn’t call myself a workaholic at all. Work can be stressful even if challenging. But if I had a billion dollars and didn’t have to work at all I’d still do the exact same things I do today.

I don’t think that’s really a problem. Does a surgeon not read technical articles on her free time? Does an NBA player not work on his game in the off-season? All of that is unpaid labor, but they just really want to get better at what they do because they feel good getting better.

If you feel that’s stressful then just check if you’re doing it for the right reasons. Personally I do it because I like it, not because it’ll pay off career-wise in the future. It never crossed my mind that one day I’d get paid more because of all the things I learned years ago: I just learned them at the time because I wanted to.

OVH is also nice. They're French I believe. And you're right, they're mostly like old school VPS providers.

In US there is https://phoenixnap.com/

In UK there is https://www.heficed.com/

I am sure there are more.
User experience (UX) is designed, created to provide meaningful efficient work to user

Thanks for posting this. I had no idea that Mondo 2000 was all online now. I think about that publication often and now I can check my memories.

I was always fascinated reading about nootropics and smart drugs but never had the opportunity to give any a try. Drinking a cup of coffee is the closest I've been to that scene. It would be interesting to talk to some people who were deep into that 30 years ago and see what they think about it now.
It's all described here: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box

Basically you have a nice amount of space for a very reasonable space and can connect in a number of ways or just attach it as a network drive. Transfer speeds are reasonable.
Hetzner has been providing me with a suspicious amount of value for my money.

I've had a really great experience since switching over from DigitalOcean after Hetzner opened their Virginia datacenter.

DigitalOcean was a nearly perfect experience for eight years - I can only say good things about them. And then Hetzner went and gave me twice the value with comparable reliability. Frankly I feel spoiled.
I was in Fermont a long time ago. I was driving from Goose Bay all the way south. in the 90s, the Labrador highway wasn't paved, it was just rough gravel.

I got a flat tire somewhere near the border, then pulled into Fermont and tried my best high school-level French to find somewhere to fix my flat tire.

I asked the guy at the gas station: "Excusez-moi, savez-vous où je peux trouver un garage pour réparer mon pneu crevé ?"

He looked at me and said "Fixer le flat, huh?"

No amount of formal French prepares you for Northern Quebecois "French" :-)
Nope in the above comment you claim something else.

Here is where you claim C requires UNIX like OS:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20828974

Let me tell you, in embedded development we run C on bare metal or under RTOS. There is no UNIX in sight. And the code is portable to many CPU architectures.
You have to be a special kind of naive to not have such infrastructure behind airgap.
They shouldn't, but the complexity required to be considered different is usually less. For example you probably wouldn't say that Crash bandicot is a clone of Mario Bros, even though both are 2d platformers. But for music or images even if they are only half the same they feel like clones.

Also depends on how 'concept' is defined. Two games where you "unpack things" can be vastly different, but two games where "you unpack things from a packing box and place them on small diorama-like rooms without any objective" is hard to differentiate.

All assets have degrees of genres (platform/shooter/..., rap/classic/..., pixelart/medieval/...). But the amount of things you need to change in order to create an "original work" is not the same for all of them.
> But then you lose the players that value immersion

Depends on player, but to me all MMORPGs feel less like an environment and more off an Amusement parks.

Because events in them are designer driven and not player driven. Could players cause Cataclysm or liberate a city for a day or a month? No. Because designers want to appease a mass of players, they make events repeatable, which cheapens the significance of event (you get an achievement, and you get an achievement).

Compare this to something 2D but more systemic like SS13, where unintentional actions of a single individual e.g. a clown puting a bag of holding in another bag of holding can completely change the round. I.e. spawn a life-threatening singularity that might destroy the station.

Or hell a sabotage by a spy might have side effects. Lets say a spy trying to cause a blackout to eliminate his target unintentionally unleashes a horde of monkeys, infected by the furry virus, from captivity. Monkeys in turn unleash a dangerous space kudzu which results in station being plagued by both a literal furry plague, a bunch of violent apes and a sentient and malevolent plant.
Wormable bugs are a subset of zero-click bugs. Worms are very rare, and always have been, even during "the Summer of Worms".
A bit of advice: never let go of your TI. You'll regret it after a few years, when nostalgia and the urge to turn it back on strikes again.

It happened to me as a middle aged guy when I remembered the C64 my dad sold in order to buy me my first PC XT.

That's why I ended up buying a retro clone of my cherished C64, TheC64. ARM-inside running VICE, but it looks and behaves a lot like a real C64. It has a real keyboard and you can use it to program, not just run games.
No he was definitely wrong. Ask any C developer.

I worked out in with a start-up in Berlin that used lots of Hetzner servers. This was around 2017, and we had a good number of outages at the peak of the summer heat where, presumably the cooling in the data center wasn't up to the task and they shut things down... At least that was our theory, since it only ever happened on really warm days and only at the warmest part of the day.

In fairness, we didn't lose any data, but it was a major headache for a month or two.
I would see this title as highly misleading?

Hobbies like playing guitar, producing music, long dog walks, running, hiking, cooking, reading fiction; basically anything besides screen time does the trick for me.
Like an external disk on the network. Closer to a NAS than to something like Google Drive or Dropbox. We can FTP/SFTP/Borg/rsync to it.

I haven't explored all options in detail. I use Hetzner because it's cheap and supports BorgBackup.

I used to keep backups on GDrive but all the anecdotes about accounts locked by bots and non-existent customer support made me uncertain about using it for long-term photo storage (10-20 years time frame).

S3/EFS network costs were too expensive for my 10s of GBs.
Going to have a hard time doing anything on our system without a domain joined PC, thanks.
RCE is routinely used to describe clientside bugs; you're mixing orthogonal concepts here.
Wow I love that idea. So the plants would absorb the acid in the atmosphere?

I guess you’d just need to provide your own water?
I think the more interesting thing there is the 'Artifacts' home page [0] and the fact they are archiving these past experiments. Despite its faults its good that Mozilla is cataloging these, they could easily be left to just disappear from existence.

Dev team? Sure. Management and sales? No.
Same was true for me on Digital Ocean. Basically, regularly check your service provider because prices for servers and storage tend to drop.
What you really get from IDE is higher productivity, based on a sample of few hundred people I've worked with. It won't make bad engineers good or vice versa, it would just make everyone more productive.

If I were hiring an engineer who claimed not to use IDE on principle, I would be very careful and maybe even suspicious: a craftsman who doesn't care about using best tools for the job, may have problems.
I am from Algeria. I've been to Tipasa multiple times when I was a student in Algiers, the capital, since it was a very short ride. Tipasa has a truly magical coast, with all the amazing Numidian, Roman and Byzantine ruins, but also the sea. While there, you observe the blending of the mountains, the rocks, the beautiful, calm and shining Mediterranean sea and all the temples and the ruins. It takes you to another dimension of feelings and relaxation. It was a very good place of inspiration for me.

Algeria is a kind of a hidden gem. There are many other impressive sites and much larger and better preserved Roman cities. Few minutes from my hometown, Setif, there is Djemila [1]. The preserved arches, basilicas, bathes, theatres and markets is just super impressive.

A larger and bigger site is in Batna, a neighboring city of Setif. The site is called Timgad [2], usually the preferred place for cultural events. Timgad is definitely one of the greatest world heritage sites, absolutely on the same order of Pompeii.

Another impressive city is Constantine [3], or equally Béjaïa and also obviously the The Casbah in Algiers [4].

On the Sahara side, there is the Tassili [5] and The Hoggar mountains.

Sorry, I accidentally said you did the wrong thing for leaving. That wasn't my intention. Of course, leaving was the right choice for you.

What I meant was the company you were working for does not get the best quality or customer satisfaction by overworking you to the point where you have to leave. It would have been better for their software quality to handle things differently.
So does that mean we should expect C23 support in ~2033?
It is very common among hosting providers to introduce a new cheaper better service without actively reaching out to existing customers about it. Why would they? The older infrastructure is paid for and maintenance on it has a lower cost, and some customers don't want to move anyway because they lack the time to migrate, or don't want to take the outage.

That's why it pays to shop around periodically.
Again, if you think Microsoft is garbage, you're not the demographic. I'm not going to spend my time tweaking custom shit.
