> the aura that they are hard at work and making things happen.

Yes, and looping it back into a point in the article: the status that these demonstrations are meant to confer (consciously or not).
Late reply.

My point is not number of reports, but number of people.

A directorate might have 25 managers, and maybe 200 developers. Of those developers 4 or 5 might be staff/principal, and it might be as small as 1 or 2, or even zero.

So far fewer people move up the technical ladder than up the management ladder.
>I think it’s worth being notified about important messages, even if you have to deal with them later

You are still misunderstanding. This isn't the problem. The issue is how to keep yourself from being interrupted from non-important messages. Slack provides support for messages that are not time sensitive. It encourages us to treat every channel as either worthy of some urgency to read or completely irrelevant and worthy of muting.
The peanut gallery reacting to these agile rants always contrast it with "waterfall", as if those two forms of dysfunction are the only two possibilities.

I must live in a sci-fi horror movie/simulation. Where I'm the only person who remembers actual mature proven repeatable project management methodologies. Like critical path, joint application development, and a dozen others. Whenever I mention this alternate reality, I'm dismissed as a lunatic.

Hello? Does anyone see me? Does anyone else remember Peter Drucker, PMI, and shipping software?
Big one for me is logging, auditing, etc.. is always an afterthought. I am guilty of this as well, but really it should be the first thing you do, and do very well, in a way that is really convenient for everyone, before you think about anything distributed.
I want to know how many people who are using "microservices" are actually using "microservices" with separate databases for each service, separate teams and so on...?

If you asked my boss, we're using microservices. But really we're just taking common tasks and breaking them out to their own service. Now that's kinda like microservices, and it is very handy ... but it is not the full definition that I know of.
Again, this is why it's the choice of the person carrying it.

You don't want to, no one is forcing you to abort.

The discussion here is "who is forced to do something". This child in the womb would not be able to live without the life of the mother. Therefore their "choice", if you can even call it that, is irrelevant.
No, but it would be nice to see visually where it is on the size vs (de-)compression speed pareto-front. Like this graphic (from the zstd homepage): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/facebook/zstd/master/doc/i...

"Micro" is a very unfortunate part of the name.
Microservices was always a solution to the organisational problem of getting more developers working on a system at once. A lot of people working on one code base over the top of each other often causes problems and issues with ownership. The solution was services independently developed with the trade off cost being increased complexity on a range of things.

There is an essay in the mythical man month about Conways law and microservices are very much about a way to use Conways law to achieve scale of development. You likely don't need microservice until you hit a scale where the monolith is a real pain point. You can probably cope with a monolith especially with some reasonable design effort up to the 100 developers maybe more with a lot of separation but at some point in the >25 developers range it becomes cheaper and easier to switch to multiple deployed units of software and deal with the increased system complexity and interface designs and the inherent versioning issues it causes.

It is easier to start with a monolith, find the right design and then split on the boundaries than it is to make the correct microservices to begin with.
Its insane. Go live in Asia for a couple of years then come back -- you'll be shocked at how little you actually make in the West comparatively in terms of spending power.
It's just about need. Most people don't need microservices. Let me repeat that. Most people don't need microservices. It's only relevant at scale. The scale I'm talking about is organizational scale and then potentially technical scale but it's mostly about solving people problems by enabling independent development of products and features.

Developers are their own worst enemy. They love shiny buzzwords and using unnecessary tools and concepts just to say they did. Conceptually you can't blame architecture patterns, that makes no sense. Blame those who choose to adopt patterns for the wrong reasons.
Reeder for RSS and read it later. Things for tasks. Sublime Text 3 for scripts, though I haven’t yet paid the license.
Hum... The only thing the tools do is documenting what is done and what needs to be done. All the commoditization of laborers is done by people.

And yeah, commoditization of factory workers is a large problem too, and the commoditization of the skilled professions (WTF, a real oxymoron) is a "what the hell are you even thinking?" situation.
Changes to Expand DoorDash’s Product Search Beyond Delivery
Agreed 100%. Another pain point that prevents developers, who love to think they are rational people (lol) to even start to have a productive conversation about microservices.
The impedance mismatch is that JSON is a fantastic data structure format but a poor code language. Sexp's are a poor data structure format (briefly, lacking a dictionary format and mixing function invocation with lists) but a fantastic code language.

> Abortion rights are not going away

Abortion rights are going away in some states.

> In Texas, last time I looked, anybody can initiate a lawsuit against a doctor on abortion related issues, making doctors frozen due to legal worries and even reverting to communicating on paper notes that they then throw away. It's insane. We're taking decision making from the educated and giving it to the uneducated.

.. as you've pointed out yourself.

> The rise in extremism on both sides is fueling this,

There is no pro-abortion "extremism". There never has been anything comparable to the anti-abortion bombings.

> For states like Texas, where most people still hold to vaguely Christian values and new life is valued over choice, they feel like they are forced to allow murder.

Texas has the death penalty to show how much they value life.
Single RDMS database + stateless middle tier is still best solution for 99% of applications out there.

I believe there is not that much pressure on universities because most PhD groups have private Dropboxes with SciHub copies of Elsevier articles anyway.

Also, there's always that one guy that everyone knows that you can just email obscure paper requests to and he'll send you a PDF almost immediately. And of course you never ask how that works. But it works.

As such, there's little to lose if a university cancels their official Elsevier subscriptions. Their student's won't mind. And I believe that is why universities haven't banded together.

Sure, that makes sense. I was only speaking in terms of actual browsers.
All models are wrong, but some are useful. The value of a theory is how accurately it allows you to predict future observations.

If AI-driven recommendation systems and a trend towards centralizing all discourse on giant social media platforms produces a result indistinguishable from the Dead Internet Theory, then the theory is a useful way of thinking about and engaging with the internet.
I don't know that I've ever thought about my bar, but when I was a kid my dad was making around 80-90k and we considered ourselves low-solid middle class. But that was 30-40 years ago, my understanding is that real wages have not kept up with inflation so I'd expect the bars on middle class to be higher today.

Of course we also had the idea that "middle class" was more of an aspirational lifestyle goal and not a moving target. I guess if we just define it accurately as the median of real incomes we can see this range drop alarmingly. Thanks for the perspective.
You’re getting downvoted because it’s almost always parents and their friends.

Pull like any tech big shot at random, their parents are rich and bought some part of their success. Gates’ folks had an IBM mainframe installed in his fucking high school.

Oh myGod, this kid Bill Gates is way ahead of the curve on computers.
Then boring technologies are no that bad after all, imho at the end it’s about facing changes quickly and if you have the tools and systems to do that then good !

Oh yeah. My dad was an Air Force officer for twenty years. He spent most of that time loudly, proudly refusing to learn how to use computers. Throughout the 70s he got shipped around to ever-smaller facilities with the oldest-available technology. He finally got fired in the 80s when there was nowhere left to send him to. He still tells the story frequently and doesn't understand why no one recognizes what a genius he is.

If you really want to see some shit, look up the story of the Permissive Action Link and how the USAF intentionally bypassed the system and lied to Congress about it for decades.

As if there was just material for a single PhD thesis! I would guess that the mathematical theory of bells is pretty much open. The shape of a bell (a solid of revolution) can be described by one function u:R->R. Given u, you can compute the vibration spectrum of the sound by standard methos. But if you are given a desired timbre, how to find u? Nobody knows. The most that we can do is optimization starting from a close solution candidate.

Anything is "possible". My point is that there is a much more difficult case for reinterpretation of Loving.

On a practical level, I also think there is public support for gay an interracial marriage today in a way that there never was for Roe and later Casey. Most Americans cant even articulate what the abortion standards are.
No country in the world can afford to use a 80k shell merely to extend range. To put that into perspective, the USA is supplying 150k rounds of ammunition to Ukraine, and a few hundred Excalibur. If they were all smart shells, they would cost 12 billion dollars. To put that into perspective, that's almost the entire Canadian military budget.

The US itself doesn't even have 10,000 Excalibur rounds.

This isn't equipment capability in standard configuration, you're comparing exceptional configurations that have to be used with parsimony to Russian standard configuration.

In standard configuration, the Russian artillery outranges. It's not by much, and it doesn't mean it's better, but that's a simple fact. The actual advantages of NATO artillery is that it's easier to supply and generally has better fire control.

If you want to compare exceptional to exceptional, you should compare Excalibur shells to 9m54x rocket artillery, the second of which is superior in every single domain, and has actually been used in Ukraine.
These days, I try to not to prematurely optimize by setting up micro services from day 1. I find starting with a monolith, with an eye towards micro services, works well for most projects and as patterns and abstractions emerge, slowly design and provision micro services.
Maybe better, but not infinity better. If it were infinity better then the B2 wouldn't be stealth (it has not a single flat panel)

This framing assumes that venture capital is both efficient and perfect at identifying potential for massive growth. In reality, there are many technology companies with potential for massive growth that are under-appreciated by the venture community - they don't fit into the right boxes, and if they were to get on the "fundraising treadmill" as the OP describes it, they'd be stuck in a situation where they're forced to spend aggressively without being able to rely on future fundraising making that burn sustainable. The good news is that would-be competitors would be in the same situation. So it's very possible for such a company to think like a startup in terms of its goals, but move at a more sustainable pace than if it were given hundreds of millions to burn. And those startups can still raise from VC when they've proven out their model, if they choose to do so - but it's important that they have a path to success as a startup that doesn't require those levels of cash injections.
How do you define a “business” then?

It's VSO, there is always an operator (six of them), the subject [1] is always a path, and the only one missing an object is remove, which of course has none.

Here:

const [op, from, to] = patch

Now you can read it again. If you want to hashmap from {+, -, !, |, >, ?} to words, that's understandable.

Edit: We could simplify this to five verbs by letting + take one or two arguments, where the 1adic form sets the value to null. I mean I wouldn't, but we could.
That is a good point. If I understand you correctly, a situation where someone comes to the US (for example) with deep ties to another country and knows the legal boundaries of both lands. They then have less of a trust issue farming out work to that lower wage location. Yes, I can see that happening in some cases.
> if something breaks there are no spare parts, no PSUs to repair or cards to add for more functionality (I simply don't trust USB for disks) or swap etc, and the whole machine is not intended to be kept on 24/7 (think about the fan wearing, not just the CPU).

I've used x220 and x260 as home servers for years. In both cases the fan is turned off when the machine is idle (TPFanControl can even keep it off under light load). Both machines have two internal storage devices (mSATA + 2.5" and m.2 + 2.5" respectively). Both have gigabit Ethernet. Both can support external SATA storage (via ExpressCard and mini PCIe respectively). Both have battery drivers that allows them to be discharged periodically while being plugged in.

Many laptops out there are indeed poor home servers, but the x2XX line certainly isn't.
It will have to implode somehow. The pressure cooker has its limits. People will one way or another have to reduce their social media intake. Obviously all financial interest is firmly on grabbing eyeballs and not letting go of them, so they won't be onboard. Perhaps there will come some big wave of burnout, mental health issues, general health issues etc. Of course it's not all due to the media. It's a back and forth, cause and effect game also with the economic situation, cost of living, uncertainty about the future, ever fiercer competition, people always being scrutinized, etc.
Come to Erlang/Elixir (and OTP), you get the best of both worlds:

- a mono repository
- a single codebase for a single system
- your micro services are supervisors and gen servers (and a few other processes) in a supervision tree
- you decide which erlang node run which apps
- your monolith can scale easily thanks to libcluster and horde
- ...

Also, there is the midpoint between monolith and micro service, and this is called Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), you could have:

- a DAL (Data Abstraction Layer) service
- a Business Logic service (talking to the DAL)
- an API (talking to the Business Logic service)
- a Frontend (talking to the API)

Your API (or gateway, or whatever you want to call it) can serve as glue for third-party services (like Stripe, or anything unrelated to your business).

Microservices are a solution for an organizational problem, not a tech one. You need multiple teams to work on the same system without blocking each others. This is a solution for huge corporations, not your 2 pizzas team startup.
I don't see what problem FIDO is solving. As a consumer it's not solving any of my problems.

However, it is a great mechanism for vendor lock-in and for requiring Google/Apple/Microsoft approval for accessing large sections of the internet.
there are plenty, they're called 'business', or 'small business', or 'grocery store' etc. they have to make money first day to survive, unlike VC 'startup's that burns other's money without worrying about profits for a while.
What YouTube video? I haven't read that comment yet; still awaiting results from the Online Content Vetting Foundation. Yours flew through the process though. Congrats!

In all seriousness though, I do agree somewhat with the GP. Inherent vetting can be good. But it's also a tool used against us for manipulation. An example of this would be app stores. Heavily vetted, but you are force fed the apps they want you to see, and they have every right to deny you access to apps they find undesirable.

We need systems of reputation and trust to emerge, as they always have, and we need the freedom to choose them. Tools like Twitter allow largely unvetted content, sure, but they also allow users to curate their own circle of trust. This comes with risks of course, but I trust it more than some omniscient entity handing me content like mana from heaven.

I hope air-breathing ionic propulsion takes off because even if it turns out to not be great for satellites it'd be wonderful for (small) aircraft. Aircraft are very loud thanks to their engine and propellers/jets. Recent experiments showed its possible to fly with no moving parts using ionic flow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IorDYGI1uqc (9min) I for one would love to fly (on) such a quiet plane, like a glider. Compare muscle car rev to electric car silence.

It also reminds me of the Bussard ramjet, which I thought is considered ineffective due to creating more drag than thrust. Maybe the environment makes a difference?

I wonder if it'd be more effective to use antipodal ground transmitters to beam power up to the satellite, rather than the satellite using solar panels? Less concern about sCaRy high-power microwaves when aiming them from rather than at Earth, though it could still interfere with aircraft and unintended satellites in the cone of effect.
They love it because most of them are execu-morons.

Am executive. Hate office.

Other execs I work with do too. Can only think of 2 in the past 10 years I've worked with that had all of the tropes that these articles tend to parade.
Same. I liked it on paper until I wrote code for it. Then I grew to hate it.

Wish WDC had made a "true" 16 or 32-bit 65xx. Forget the mode switching and extend the opcode set (by adding some two-byte instructions via a prefix-byte or something) to add additional 16 and 24-bit register access modes so one could get full linear 24-bit addressing. And let the direct page and stack sit anywhere in the 24-bit address space rather than just in the lowest page.

In the end I think the 65816 is mostly just a 6502 with some extra stuff bolted on the front of the instruction decoder. Quick and dirty, not much of a step up from the various 6502 + external bank switching we saw in the 80s.
They are sinister after all.

Jokes aside, exclusions of certain groups, both demographic and people with medical conditions, in trials is a big issue that's still not fully being addressed. Medical trials often end up with candidates with better health than the average person and lean towards white males while psychology experiments are conducted on college students.
Pascal GPUs came out 6 years ago. Intel has also included hardware decoders on their CPUs with integrated graphics since 2015.

It is perfectly reasonable for hardware this old or older to still be in use. But by virtue of being standard in pretty much all new hardware for 6-7 years now, HEVC support is far more ubiquitous in 2022 than AV1.

More importantly, I cannot feasibly bring my RTX 3080 with me on a plane. When loading up movies before I travel, I need them in a codec supported by my phone or tablet. HEVC has fit that bill for years now, and will continue to do so until AV1 support has become ubiquitous in mobile hardware and my current devices have been retired.
