I don’t like computers, I feel like we’ve lost ownership of our own software. Linux definitely helps with this and I’ve since transitioned.

It’s mobile devices that really bother me, I’ve since got my screen time down to 39m daily and I might just get rid of it and only use a pc for computer activities.

Small tangent, I’m a massive fan of e-ink, I’m waiting for the day where I can get a proper monitor as a reasonable price and use natural or backlighting when programming.

In other words you need [transitive] "Google priviledge".

One way or the other, you will have to write a declarative configuration describing which containers to run, and how to interconnect them. Then you'll want to add templating to that configuration, perhaps a schema verification tool, some sort of test scaffolding, etc. Our philosophy is that, if you're going to do all those things, it's better to use a dedicated platform with a complete syntax, API and integrated tools, instead of cobbling it together yourself.
In the end, someone has to pay for office space: either you as the employer, or your employees in the form of higher rent/mortgage for a larger home with dedicated office areas. (And for employees with families based in urban areas, such a larger home may be entirely unaffordable.)
I think there are real problems that computers can solve, such as engineering rockets to obliterate meteorites that may destroy earth. Also, producing jobs for citizens that have an interest in computers. On the other hand, computers can also generate problems that must in turn be dealt with. Thus computer in themselves have an entire eco-chamber of worth. One million dollars could be used to make more money perpetually, thus it could be used for help or hurt. Thus you would need to use it for immediate help such as food, clothing and shelter while the money continued to generate upon itself.
Yes, they seem to have shipped a MVP first, which is a sensible approach. Controlling the extent of monomorphization requires changes in how the code is written, so if they had offered that exclusively it would've been a pitfall to existing users. By boxing everything, they keep their MVP closer to the previously idiomatic interface{} pattern.
So how do you know those services don't pull the same stunt?

I use various google services, and do a monthly backup of everything. I guess that's a sane thing to do with any service, even self hosted ones.

For me personally, my reps represent me very well. They just only 1 vote each and Congress has reps for all over. It's important to stress that Intuit can lobby all they want but each rep is responsible for their own vote. I seriously doubt any of them actually don't understand the implications of what they do. A lot of voters simply vote against their interests. It's the entire raison d'etre for Republicans to never fund a government service that can be done by private companies and they wear that philosophy on their sleeves so it's not like voters are being fooled.

That being said, it's also important to understand that a free file program isn't just sitting behind a door waiting to be unlocked. If there was political will to make it happen, it would take a multi-year outlay of funds to design, build and operate a new digital product and the federal government has a less than stellar track record of delivering on that kind of thing. And you can bet that even if it actually happens, that Republicans would make it a campaign plank to tell everyone how terrible it is and prevent broad enough adoption for it to be worthwhile.
Specifically, the idea originated in the Ivy League (Princeton, IIRC) as a way to limit the number of Jews who got admitted.
> That said, compiling with Go 1.18 vs Go 1.17 got me a 10-15% speedup by itself.

Where did you see this speedup? Other than `GOAMD64` there wasn't much in the release notes about compiler or stdlib performance improvements so I didn't rush to get 1.18-compiled binaries deployed, but maybe I should...

(I do expect some nice speedups from using Cut and AvailableBuffer in a few places, but not without some rewrites.)
> I don’t know what the rate is, but for comparison, a similarly sized organization, but private sector had a 1% firing rate or 10x.

What was the relative breakdown of their workforce by seniority? What did that look like on the .gov side if you include the contractors who've been the majority of the workforce growth since the 90s? I've seen a lot more churn in the latter and suspect that if you combined the two that gap would close considerably.

> But my point is more about contrasting people who say firing is east without and experience or data to back it up.

On the subject of data, you have one anonymous anecdote of unknown size or completeness.
I still use pocket-size paper notebooks--the cheap kind you get at the drugstore. For simple lists--shopping lists, things I need to remember to do tomorrow--it's still the easiest thing.
Without numbers, I doubt this.

With the same computer spec, serving file via HTTP (gatsby) is cheaper - or at least wont scale parallel to complexity - compared to WordPress which build the page at request-time, unless I'm not up to date with how WordPress is rendered right now.
+1 for freetaxusa. I held off for years using them because their name sounds pretty much like a scam to steal your identity.

They're stupid easy if you just have work income, and really simple if you have other schedules to file along with the basic forms. I have multiple types of income from multiple sources, and they're really simple still.

They will try to sell you their premium service, but nothing is locked behind that paywall, and it's presented once, clearly, with a clear way to accept or decline.

I've thought about buying it just to support the business.

Not with one version of the software. They are cheating: they should reset the mileage whenever they update the software.

This is probably "best" practice, but Google has randomly closed accounts for our mobile test devices. They're only used to run our (non-shady) apps on a single device that is never used with other accounts.

What course was this, may I ask?

I might watch it ... later :p
I have long held, since prior to the cloud era, that I would not trust my domain or web hosting with a company that wouldn't put a real human on the phone with me. And in the past, I've tested this prior to signing up. For my web host, I called support when I was still evaluating, at 2 AM, and got a guy on the phone named Chris, with a very strong Texas accent. I signed up immediately, and I've been a customer over ten years. (One good human interaction can buy you a lot of brand loyalty.)

This is more difficult today, and some of the providers I use no longer provide phone support over having a ticket system only, but the ability to address issues with the service should be a primary consideration of any company you base your own business on.

If you're looking at signing up with a company that won't take your call, and a competitor exists who will, go with the latter.

> this is not the FSD Beta graphics mind you

For some reason Tesla still uses old visualization software for non-FSD beta vehicles. This both means objects the system sees aren't on-screen and the interpolation algorithm for making the 3d models look smooth-moving is pretty bad.
The Erlang VM (BEAM) can be viewed as a distributed operating system, or at least the beginnings of one.
Some cool shoots in there, but the music was similar to me waiting for my 56k modem to connect. :)
I don't think programs have to opt in. You can remap it the same as every other menu command. Every AppKit app gets that menu entry by default.

The fact that remapping commands requires an exact, case sensitive match of the localized menu item label you have to type in by hand (and cannot copy to your clipboard) though...
It seems like the code size vs speed trade-off would be well managed by FDO.
If an attacker gains access to your app's process where the secrets are in RAM, there's not much protection we can offer, since ultimately the variables need to live in plaintext somewhere in order to be used. But recovering is a lot easier/faster since you can track down exactly what was exposed with audit logs and rotate compromised credentials in one place instead of needing to track them down across many devices/servers.

For a human user, there are multiple layers of security: email/SSO authentication, a per-device encryption key (stored in the OS credential store on Mac/Windows), and, optionally: a passphrase that locks the per-device encryption key and a lockout that clears RAM and locks EnvKey on the device after a specified time period until the user inputs their passphrase. EnvKey organization owners can require that passphrases/lockouts be set for all org members.
This bait and switch in the docs when trying to see an example for anything other than Github feels a bit off to me:

> If you would like us to document GitLab next, vote for it here: dagger#1677

If you don’t have an example for a specific tool, just don’t add it to your documentation.
The stats are that probably hardly anything happens with them. Dying on a bike is extraordinarily rare in the first place. For example in my city of some 4 million, 30 people on bikes die a year which seems like such small odds.

A hybrid approach would be monomorphization for native types like int and pointers for records. C# is doing that if I remember correctly.
This article is ignoring any upside to a hypothetical situation, without defining the parameters. If we had a better federal social safety net from all that tax revenue, more people would choose to become entrepreneurs, which might result in 10 new film studios, 5 rocketry companies, and hundreds of unique retail businesses instead.

>Write your pipeline once, run anywhere

Ha, finally. The timeline for a pipeline that I wrote recently looks like this:

1. Write local test/deploy script
2. Promote scripts to hosted CI system
3. Local scripts rot
3. CI system down, need to use local scripts again
4. Re-write scripts to be current
5. Force CI system to use my local scripts
So explain it then. A React-based framework is too complex so we went with Django because we get routing and back button functionality for free, even though you get routing and back button functionality for free with React-based frameworks.

My key takeaways:

I spent most of my spare time either reading books or messing around on the internet - and for all you kids out there, this was the 1990s internet, when 'the internet' was mostly email, usenet and FTP, and you accessed it over a dial-up modem

One of my major criteria for buying things is whether they can do their job without a network connection I use computers for...well, I use them for reading stuff

Somewhere along the way, in the last OH GOD TWENTY YEARS, we - along with a bunch of vulture capitalists and wacky Valley libertarians and government spooks and whoever else - built this whole big crazy thing out of that 1990s Internet and...I don't like it any more

I actually don't use the internet the same way I used to. Now, I typically interact with it through a text-based version of the content collected through a commandline utility integrating Lynx.
The most common accident from biking is falling. Much of the danger of falls are removed for a child in a proper bike trailer. With a flag and reflectors helping visibility my intuition tells me that it is much safer for children in trailers. Safer than riding their own bike or with a child seat on the adults bike.
Fundamental Knowledge that are productivity multipliers:

This is go against the grain, but ignoring these kinds of generalized list. These things are very non-contextual and can be bad advice without the context they were meant for.

It's better to:

- Find people who are experts at things

- Find ways to talk to them on an informal level

- Learn how and why they are suggesting what they're suggesting

- Write and communicate what you learned/keeping a journal

Long term and deep learning will take you places. Quick trivia is a waste of time.

There was nothing about feces in the intro.
I won't pretend to know all of the details but this comes off as kind of conspiracy-theory.

Why is Zuckerberg the boogieman? He just wants to run his company well and get as many eyeballs on paid advertisements as possible... right? Why is there some notion that he wants to push either a liberal or conservative agenda internationally?

It's near impossible to moderate a billion people posting crap on a social media platform well enough to the point where you keep everybody happy. How does this make him "the single greatest threat to Western society outside of Russia"?

Did they? I’d argue that the next highest competitor that is competing legitimately would bring just as many eyeballs to the games. People are attracted by watching the best of the best compete — I don’t think the exact score is as important.

Unless you’re talking scandals, and then I guess so? There’s temporarily more eyes on the drama but it quickly drops off.
Sure, it's better for 3 reasons:

1. You can use the same pipelines in development and automation. Dagger runs on Jenkins, but it also runs on the developer's laptop. This solves a common problem which is drift between the automation available in dev and CI.

2. You're not stuck with Jenkins. If you want to migrate a Jenkins-native pipeline to another CI, you have to rewrite everything. Dagger on the other hand can run on any major CI. This makes migrations much easier, as well as supporting teams with heterogeneous CI setups (which is quite common in larger organizations).

3. You can debug and test your pipelines locally. In theory this is possible with some CI systems. But in practice, the experience is very different. You can actually iterate on your Dagger configuration like you would on regular code: make a change, run, try again, run again. It's quite fun and addictive.

EDIT: there is a 4th reason, which is that Dagger uses buildkit under the hood (the hidden backend for "docker build"). So every action in the DAG is automatically cached when possible. This means that your pipeline is tuned for optimal caching out of the box: no manual tweaking necessary.
> "Unix time is completely unambiguous."

Looks like someone hasn't had to deal with data from multiple different time zones processed by code written by different developers over several years!

Unix time could be unambiguous, but it is not in practice. If it has been unambiguous for you, congratulations!

Use ISO style dates if you don't want to spend the rest of your life explaining what a date actually means.

Not necessarily, superdeterminism is a concept, not a specific theory/model. You have specific models that can basically explain anything at all as a "grand conspiracy", but you can also have models that don't.

There are no useful, testable "superdeterministic" models yet, to be fair. But they can, in principle, exist. Again, all that this requires is a model where the measurement settings depend on the hidden variables themselves.
businesses can afford it though. 65K to replace a very large, yearly, expense of a driver? you bet your ass they are going to switch and fast. That is what is going to cause most of the fallout. the ROI is basically 1 year, 2 tops.
Citizens should be offered choice of salary being paid via CBDC, all taxation conducted at source, with a lower overall tax rate to reflect lower admin load and better collection rate.
I'm hoping that self-driving trucks result in separate highway lanes, or perhaps even dedicated roads. A road just for self-driving trucks wouldn't need a passing lane, or a breakdown lane (if a truck breaks down, someone can be dispatched to fix it, and it's okay if the whole roadway of autonomous trucks comes to a stop).

(Yes I know, I've just reinvented trains, but trains would likely coexist with this, and they serve different purposes (trucks are better at going over mountains, for instance))

I run a CI application for Laravel developers (Chipper CI).

It turns out, the gap between "works locally!" and "works in CI!" is not negligible, especially when you're not sure "about all that server stuff".

Getting this working locally with a fast cycle time, and then being able to easily move that into a CI environment of your choice sounds exciting to me.

Furthermore, the majority of our customer support is "I can't reproduce this locally but it's broken in CI". Everyone blames the CI tool, but it's almost never the CI tool - just drift between environments. A way to debug locally is a killer feature.

Is it worth an entire, funded company? I'm not sure, but I'm excited for them to exist!

Historically the devops name comes from the methodology where "dev" and "ops" teams got merged so there'd be at least 1x dedicated ops person for each team of developers, only focussed on that team's operational needs.

Point was to break out of the Developers versus Operations silos and actually be more productive as a single team.

Back in the silo'd days... the ops teams would just flat out refuse to release any code on a Friday. Which doesn't work if you're twitter. Hence the switch.

A lot of my time as a "devops" engineer is reiterating that I can fix and automate as much as you want me too, but if your developers don't think about the infra the code eventually runs on in prod then your software is just gonna keep breaking --- "but it worked fine on my local machine".

So, while I agree the "Devops Engineer" name is a bit ridiculous, and not in the spirit of the original methodology, half of my job is writing software that tries to help developers not break production and the other half is attempting to change the culture, even slightly, towards "oh, wait, will this run in production?".

Stepping back and balancing the numbers: e.g. Mass balance, energy balance, balancing the books, balancing your schedule, profit analysis, etc.

Usually this comes down to simple math and a bit of black boxing. It's amazing how often people miss the big picture and therefore don't see problems, losses, hidden costs or even opportunities because they're not looking at how the inputs and outputs balance.

A related skill is developing a feel for (or be able to quickly estimate) the appropriate order-of-magnitude of something.

Nothing saves time and effort like being able to scan some numbers and immediately identify a problem.

> That’s not at all what Linux namespaces permit.

Isolating processes from the specifics of the system they're running on is a key feature of the namespace-based model; it seems weird to call it a "side effect only". We should keep in mind that CRIU itself is still a fairly new feature that's only entered mainline recently, and the kernel already has plenty of ways to "make up" more virtual resources that are effectively controlled by userspace. While it may be true that these things are largely ad hoc for now, it's not clear that this will be an obstacle in the future,
