Indeed! On my first day I was given a non-working SPARC box and told to get the latest Solaris working (in the early days of Solaris, when many were on SunOS). So much fun!

Want to receive email? Make sure to configure sendmail correctly. And NFS to get to teamware. And so on. Never been so happy in a tech wonderland. Difficult to explain to a generation raised on third-party paid cloud services.

The deep hardcore tech expertise across the board was so incredible at Sun. Nowhere before or after have I experienced that. Miss it a lot.
Should Google be preparing for sanctions against the US the next time they invade somewhere?

I think Foone has been asking about this for 15+ years at this point.

I'd love to see classic Notepad and MS Paint too.
Yeah but line formatting usually includes white space indentation in the calculation of the line length, I don't know whether you can 1:1 translate findings from normal text paragraphs like that. With linted code the actual relevant length might only be 20 characters, maybe we need some smarter linters.
Great writeup!

Trying it out, it does not load in Firefox 81 (potentially due to some restrictive security setting here?) but runs great in Chromium after an update.
Depending on the size of the company (Revenue), and where / how the recommender system sits within the customer experience; Logistic regression could be fine. An even better baseline if discovery isn't so important for a good CX is to go with most popular and or a vendor. Building these systems used to be about getting lots of different things to work together which eats up a lot of time, and capacity (Product, UX, Eng) and it may not get the appropriate return.
> It's not your money to begin with, it belongs to the people who rightfully earned it, not the government, nor the poor. Peoples' assets don't exist to serve as piggy banks for social programs and redistribution.

It's up to debate if companies like Microsoft, Apple, AirBnB, Facebook or Uber "rightfully" earned their money - or if they did so by blatantly ignoring or skirting the laws for a long time.

Note that all companies I mentioned have a history of getting fined for violating labor, anti-trust or data protection laws.
The difference would be in how many "fake" support calls one would get. If your internet doesn't work it's probably broken and on the provider, if your cloud is broken you're probably holding it wrong.

The comparison isn't apples to apples, it's 1 service vs 100's (with documentation).

As mentioned, I understand why this is a separate product and I think it's reasonable to pay for support if you need help. There's been some great examples of GCP support bending over backwards to find the most convoluted problems you could imagine. (1)

That'd be worth 30 usd a month to me.

Trying to force multiplayer RPG's to work solo is a stretch, I give you that.

On the other hand, there are good, well made, solo-rpgs, aven though many are more of a creative-writing exercise than the monster-smashing/dungeon-delving/hex-exploring many of us associate with the genre.

Gentleman Bandit is great! Thousand year old vampire made me feel things!

The introverted guy you mention maybe could use some more people in his life, but that seems orthogonal to the existence of this interesting genre. Maybe if he didn't run his dungouns, he would be writing schlocky fantasy fanfic, or solving infinite number of sudoku. And while I might still slightly judge him as an introverted weirdo, I wouldn't judge him more, or less.

Since bash can only handle one coproc at a time, using it behind the scenes blocks that function interactively.
There are platforms like Bisq, which can be used to purchase BTC (although you need a small starting amount of BTC as a minimum security deposit) and then used to swap into Monero. It is both tricky to monitor and difficult to block as it works over Tor. Although I suppose having to go for something so 'exotic' just to privately buy crypto is in itself going to turn away a lot of people.
You could also look at it as having one foot out the door.
Bitcoin is a means of transferring value peer-to-peer across the internet. I believe in that. I also am interested in the predictable inflation schedule and limit on issuance---I think it's a nice option to have.

Bitcoin is actually pretty unfriendly to terrorist groups because it's a public ledger, making it relatively easy for law enforcement to track. By contrast, being backed by a government doesn't actually make, say, the dollar immune to nefarious uses.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. If Bitcoins sell for $38k then they're worth $38k... right now. As the payment network related to Bitcoin spreads wider, its utility goes up, and the value to holders increases. This is similar to how a fiat currency's value largely comes from the ability / obligation to pay taxes in that currency, but rather than being created by governmental mandate, it is developing organically, bootstrapping.

If the Internet had had a payment system built into it from the beginning, spam may never have become a problem. Advertising would not have been the only effective way to monetize. And so on. Getting to a micropayments world with the Lightning Network or whatever comes after it is a technological revolution that will likely have wide-ranging consequences.

Some of my reasons.
In his first term he delivered a number of useful economic reforms with a team of liberal economists. Taxes, land ownership, banking, bankruptcy etc. The economic block in the government remains very professional and impartial even now. The only thing Russia really needed to become a normal state was to reform judicial branch, police and security services.
That! I consider myself holding a Bachelor's degree in the 4th edition combat rules and having dropped out of my masters in the sub-set of rapier-and-dagger fighting rules. I never really started to study un-armed or mounted combat. I do own copies of the, what fell, like 300 pages of magic and clerical rules. Never understood those.

I think there was a time in my life when I had too much time it seems, as this was also my active kickboxing period with regular tournaments. Wouldn't miss those times!
Crazy! Thanks for a very full reply.
Computer games are more rigid. Tabletop RPGs are fun (IMO) because of the interactions between people, which more often than not involve modification of the rules. I'm not here to tell people what is fun them, but I'd guess that most people would very quickly (a) decide a computer might as well keep track of the rules - you've reinvented Final Fantasy - or b) look for some friends to enjoy the game you've experimented with by yourself.
But with the ease of use of Vercel. Also, built on top of elastic container and database stack.

I think emacs is among the first "app" environments.

I'm more productive building a little tool in emacs than just in the shell, or something web, desktop or mobile based.

There's a few reasons, the amount of useful things instantly available (and discoverable) is incredible, being the main one.

If I specifically want to make something for others... Unless they're emacs users I'm going to use another platform, obviously.
Which part you find unprecendented?
It looks like SendGrid SMTP servers will probably bounce anything over 30 mb since their v3 api says it only supports attachments up to 30 mb

https://docs.sendgrid.com/api-reference/mail-send/mail-send

So OP should have actually only increased the size limit to 30 mb since that’s all that SendGrid supports anyway. Then OP can simply rely on SendGrid’s SMTP server to respond to the client appropriately when they attach too big of files. OP would want to verify with docs and/or SendGrid support that they actually do that, of course, and won’t arbitrarily increase the limit without releasing a new API version before completely relying on SendGrid. But presumably as a paying user of the product he could do that.

Delays and cost overruns are part of the graft economy inextricably connected with the nuke construction business.

Once one of these multi-$billion projects gets started, nobody involved wants them ever finished, because that is when the gravy train stops. So long as people are willing to pony up for overruns, they are happy to provide them.

That is why modular nukes never got legs: there is insufficient scope for graft.

The Finns finally had to finish their thing when it looked like the money would dry up either way. It will be interesting to see whether the French drag out theirs.
> Why does insurance as a business feel like legalized gambling?

The mathematics are similar from the ensurer/casino side. However:

1. The happiness impact of losing 5x your net worth (house burnt down, eternal debt) is likely much bigger than gaining it.

2. It's harder to repeat sell insurance to someone until they are broke, compared to a slot machine.
it's worth noting that the whole EU starting from the earlier european communities was built on such an idea that tighter and tighter integration would make war unlikely (and in some cases, unthinkable).

While this didn't work out for the Russian relationship, it wasn't a totally stupid plan.
Agree with the other commentator that this is an unconstructive message.

Replace Google in the message with Apple/Netflix/Microsoft and it will read exactly the same since it has no specifics except "don't do what x company is doing" with no particular reasoning behind it.
I wish Scott devoted his writing time entirely to fiction, it's predictably enjoyable.
Europe does this much better. It's not so difficult to find yourself on a quieter, greener path just on your way to work. The countryside has a network of footpaths that connect everything. Wherever I am in Europe, I can count on a quiet evening walk.

Berlin is outstanding for this. Wherever you are, it's easy to escape loud traffic and sit in a green, public space. Some have cafés and Biergarten in them.

I find returning to Canada difficult because there is no way to escape loud roads. There's no path along the fields, forests or rivers. If you want to walk in nature, you have to drive to it.
a very narrow sense representing 70% of all security vulnerabilities at microsoft and google (self-reported). i'd say it's a class of vulnerabilities worth eliminating, especially when the "cost" is getting a competent and standard package manager and a general focus on correctness that ultimately increases developer productivity and ergonomics (compared with C++, IME)
Can't say for sure but I think the industry and time has a lot to do here. My father is a mechanical engineer who worked for a well known plastics company in the early 70s. He had a technical supervisor who started as a casual labourer at the same company.The supervisor couldn't write and used a thumbprint instead of a signature. However, he could interpret and analyse the designs for the moulds very well and was highly respected for that. It was the reason he was promoted to that level from that of a labourer. Perhaps his illiteracy was the reason he didn't rise any higher but the fact that the company was able to recognise his skill in a certain area and promote him to a level where it could be completely utilised says something about management philosophy. Equally, his ability to teach himself technical skills to be useful without a formal education says a lot about him too.
He doesn't really suggest it; he's only asking.

He is relatively famous, as far as programmers go. How many of us can say we knew of The Cathedral and the Bazaar before we were actually programming?

As he says, Carmack does, probably, have him beat, but he's surprisingly well known for how little actual input he's had in the last twenty years.
> but in a severe meltdown I can still shut down and downgrade into something akin of that non-verbal kind of autism for some time. As far as I know, that's not how neurotypical people react to intense stress at all.

I'm very sceptical of the existence of "neurotypical" people, but I think speechlessness, difficulties in processing verbal information, etc, are actually quite common experiences when under extreme stress, and many people who would never be diagnosed with ASD respond similarly to how you say you sometimes do. I don't think similarities between how some people act on those occasions when they are overwhelmed - whether they are overwhelmed rarely or frequently – and how other people act 100% of the time, really have much significance.

I actually have quite happy memories of working with Backbone and jQuery - there were obviously all manner of problems, but everything was quite easy to understand and a lot less magical.

You can use the ports system and interoperate with js in Elm. I used it in the past and it is quite a clean abstraction.
The parallel with Mythical Man Month resonates with me.

Of course 'executing code' and 'human minds' are bound by physics, that's a relatively uninteresting insight.

The point is: the process of human minds writing software is constrained by the understanding of single human minds. So the 'meta task' of software engineering becomes working around that constraint.

That's why decomposition is such a powerful tool for large software system development because it:

a. reduces the amount of working memory a single mind needs to make a change and

b. lets more human minds work on the solution in parallel without forcing every mind to understand everything about the overall system

> Taxes, land ownership, banking, bankruptcy etc. The economic block in the government remains very professional and impartial even now.

Russia has one of highest inequalities and quite poor population. It is also heavily corrupt. The macroeconomics works, but lower levels don't.

> The only thing Russia really needed to become a normal state was to reform judicial branch, police and security services.

That is kind of problem, given that Putin is former KGB agent, surrounded himself by alike people, became president duet to former KBG agents cooperating on gaining power ... Also, used both judicial branch and police against political opponents including journalists from day 1. They are corrupt basically as a matter of policy.

Putin did reformed judicial branch, police and security services. Just not the way we would like.
> They're going to ruin team dynamics. And seriously, make sure these people aren't assholes.

I’ve worked with a number of X-FANNGers, and interviewed at a couple places that were predominantly run by them. Your comment brought up some unsavoury memories.

When I research places to work now, if any of the main people are X-FANNG I politely decline the opportunity - it just saves everyone’s time.

Berlin has large parks in the city, and even larger ones at the edges. It doesn't only work as a suburb - people in any central Kiez are within walking distance of a park.

I love that city for that. Milan felt claustrophobic without all the parks.

Trying out VR on an AMD Ryzen 4000 series APU
Right now, at work, I am getting insane with a task of re implementing some web forms that talk to shinier API. No documentation "just read the previous ruby server side validation code and put it on the js front-end". So I am hunting for hints and people to to be sure the code does what it intended to do. And I get cup sized eyes when asking for documentation :D.
That’s right, except I think it would take most people longer than an afternoon. There’s stuff that’s quite unique (and powerful) like useEffect and JSX takes a bit to get used to.

But generally I wouldn’t be worried about onboarding a web dev who doesn’t know the lib, it’s not rocket science. One of the appealing things is how very straight forward and clear it is.
This war has proven that as long as national interests are strong enough, those economical ties most likely won't last..which is a scary precedent for Europe in general.
As far as I understood, their electricity contract did not expire, or at least that was not explicitly mentioned. The transfer company, which now cut them from the grid, was their electricity seller until the end of 2021, and from the beginning of 2022 they had another seller provide them electricity, but that has ended for reasons unknown.

> This is not a very constructive comment.

I think there's some substance. I've personally experienced examples where teams have looked at Google or other FAANGs, cargo-culted in practices - or at least their understanding of the practices - and then things have not gone well. With that being said, it's not to say that there's nothing to be learned from FAANGs: you can learn plenty but you need to be choosy in the application of that knowledge.

The wider point is that I've observed a trend in industry - stronger at some companies than others - of applying solutions, trendy or otherwise, without a clear understanding and articulation of the problem being solved and the value of solving that problem to the business.

That being said, I don't think it's fair to generalise that one has to be an asshole to survive at one of these companies - which is certainly implied by GP's choice of phrasing. I now know quite a few people who've worked at FAANGs for varying periods of time, and none of them are assholes. There are no doubt assholes at FAANG but I've seen no evidence that they're any more concentrated than in the general population.

Because the US government had been aggressive in the past and it had no problems opening and maintaining data-centers in countries which had openly been against that aggression (I'm thinking mainly about France&Germany vs the US invasion of Iraq in 2003).

Where Yandex mis-calculated is that Russia (the country) is not a hegemonic power like the US is (militarily, economically and culturally) and as such it doesn't have the same influencing power.

This is why I like the work of †Christopher Alexander so much. He doesn't only point out that our cities are bad for us but also gives solutions.

I would say “Don’t use TODOs (in your code) at all”. They are just “broken windows” in your code. If something is a bug and you think that it is important to be fixed - just do it. If you think that something has to be done but it is out of the scope of your current task, note it down somewhere and take ownership of making it happen one way or another. Leaving a comment in your code just puts this responsibility away from you. In my experience this does not work and those type of tasks just pile up.
If you are insuring against the Olympics being covered you are insuring against a lot of things that are normally covered by Force Majeure (wars, revolutions, pandemics, terrorism etc).
PEP 690: Lazy Imports
Nobody expected Russia to suddenly try to seize all of Ukraine. It went from nothing to suddenly surrounding the country in weeks, and even then people called the Biden admin nuts for saying Russia was going to do it. Then they did it.

Nobody expected sanctions that cut Russia off from the world to an extent comparable only to North Korea. It's just something that people didn't imagine could happen to modern economies. People said cutting Russia off from SWIFT was absolutely unreasonable, impossible, and nobody would seriously consider it. Heads of state said they'd never do it despite the circumstances. Then they flipped and approved of it.

It's easy to look back and say "lol it's obvious" since it's in the news everyday and we're densensitized to it by now. But it was really a mindblowing series of events.

Obviously it's just an anecdote, but I work for a large(one of the largest) AAA video games companies, and that's literally our entire modus operandi - hire early, usually before people even finish uni, and then get them up through the ladder. It promotes career growth, loyality, personal development and job satisfaction - I'm literally surrounded by people who have been here for 15+ years(29 is the record currently) - personally I'm at 8 years, went from intern to junior to intermediate to senior to lead in that time, and I have no plans on going anywhere really.

Yes, that’s what happened. They’ve been asking for a while, and I’ve tried a couple of times. But their last tweet got pretty good pick up, so I made another run at it. I asked the right Vice Presidents, found the right people to agree to the new license, retrieve the source from our company archivist, found two developers who worked on the actual project, and then worked with the Microsoft open source office to finalize everything, then released it. It took just about a month. I like doing things that people don’t think are possible. It’s literally as simple as that.
