It's not Microsoft's fault that Duende took their ball and went home, becoming a closed source operation after years of open source work. That's on Duende for being bad Open Source community members.

I somewhat sympathize that Duende's unpaid support costs went up once Microsoft pointed a lot of heat their way by including it in official samples, and they should get paid for support. I also somewhat sympathize that closing their source was seen as the easiest option to redirect the community to paid support plans.

But it's still a jerk move in the Open Source community to have code be open source for more than a decade and then close it simply because it was used in one tutorial/sample too many.

Sure, Microsoft could have offered sponsorships or other help, had Duende asked. Supposedly Duende didn't ask, their first public response was when they immediately went closed sourced because apparently they never really cared about Open Source.

There are people not building an open source product in good faith in this story, but it doesn't seem to be Microsoft (surprisingly).

Microsoft probably should replace IdentityServer with something that actually wants to be good Open Source in the samples again. They are between a rock and a hard place because if they fork the last Apache versions of IdentityServer they look like the bad guy for "stealing" Duende's work at that point, and they can't resurrect their old code because it was bad. They probably have to wait for some third party fed up enough with paying Duende for bad faith Open Source to make their own fork.

I hated my old commute but I still liked the idea of a commute. So now I walk around my neighborhood for 15 mins or so with a mug of coffee and that's my commute. Maybe for you, you can try and simulate a bike commute by riding a fixed route around your neighborhood every morning.

I'd be interested to see "C compiled with Clang" added as another language to the benchmark games. In part, digging into Clang vs gcc benchmarks is always interesting, and in part, as Rust & Clang share the same LLVM backend, it would shed light on how much of the C vs Rust difference is from frontend language stuff vs backend code gen stuff.
See also, Witchcraft [0] (adds ADTs to Elixir in a subjectively better way than Dialyzer) and Gleam [1] (not Elixir but its own full blown language that uses BEAM but with much more of a Haskell-like flavor) which both offer algebraic data types in their own ways.

I used to do a lot of Python and heard of Elixir as a marrying of BEAM and dynamic typing, so I started learning it. However, as I used it more, I actually moved to TypeScript and more recently Rust after I found that I actually liked thinking in types, and I truly did miss them from Elixir.

I don't mean to be alarmist and I have no idea what the likelihood is, but one thing you didn't list as a possible cause is something that has changed in your brain. When I was 32 I started noticing an increase in typing mistakes and having some cognitive trouble. Later that year I had a seizure, got an MRI, and found out I had a brain tumor.

You're probably fine, but in addition to asking HN I'd recommend asking a doctor. After having surgery to remove the cancer, I also got a cognitive psych eval (several hours of testing) to establish a baseline. They were able to estimate the degree of decline I'd experienced due to surgery.

Yeah, my point is that whether you're changing a manifest and doing an apply versus a patch isn't relevant, the relevant bit is whether or not you have a version history and in both cases you do via your CD pipeline and via k8s deployment revision history. You can also commit to git, but I don't think there's much value in committing every image version change to git.

Also, working in raw manifests isn't a panacea; if you delete a resource's manifest, Kubernetes won't delete its corresponding resource (maybe this is what you were referring to with your bit about `kubectl delete -f`). You need something that diffs the manifests against the current state of the world and applies the requisite patches (something like Terraform) but this isn't related to how you change image versions.

My comment maybe came off as a criticism for academics but I was speaking from experience with my own struggle disentangling my ego from academia. I still wanted to think of myself as a physicist and it handicapped my career progress and made me unhappy. Letting go of that was key.
Interesting topic.
I started to track a lot of metrics from:

- number of calories ingested and the micro/macronutrients

- number of sleep hour

- monitor heart rate

- monitor heart rate variability

- number of hours doing sports

- blood test results

- waist size

- number of steps per day

- ...

It helps me to understand my body's reaction better. For example, I did around 9 hours of sport per week (strength, running, hiking) for the last couple of weeks. I didn't change my calories ingested. I feel hungrier, and I need to do more naps, even if I sleep 8 hours per night.
Also, my heart rate variability is lower than usual. It might mean that I overtrain and I risk injury. My body does not adapt yet to this training intensity.

But sometimes, it's harder to understand what has driven the results. I started to take Omega 3. But at the same time, I also started to run more. We know that running more impacts your heart rate; it decreases bpm. But it's also the case with Omega 3. So in my case, it is complicated to know if sports have a more significant impact on my heart rate or if it is Omega 3. Both also take time to have effect.

We had one person actually come to our office wanting to find their package. We're a small company (in terms of headcount), and don't have a glamorous office. Not sure how anyone would mistake our location for Fedex, but nevertheless this person did. I was the only one here, and there was a serious language barrier. Took several times for me to explain to him he needed to call Fedex, and that his package wasn't hiding in our office somewhere.

Everything I've heard from people I know at Google suggests otherwise. Most searches for most people ... work. I too struggle to have google work in specific research cases, and I would like more power-user toggles, but basic searches like "$celeberty_name photos" or "$my_kids_school calendar" or "pizza places near me" just sorta work.

You can keep the credentials in a password manager. Presumably the sysadmin already uses the same corporate PM for his regular credentials, so this doesn't increase risk much.

There are tools that let you convert a running docker/podman container to a kubernetes deployment manifest which you can then deploy with one line command to your cluster. Kubernetes is the new data center and I don’t expect anyone with <10 years of enterprise experience to master it. Certainly one can use it and deploy things to it if you work at a place where there are mature pipelines, but deploying your own cluster and all associated services plus networking plus security is the domain of experienced/senior engineers. How quickly one achieves that “status” is up to the individual. It took me 15 years before I could build an enterprise network from scratch. It took me two years to understand how to do the same with K8s.
To be fair there is a lot more to do in urban centers. I felt cooped up in less dense places, that's why I moved away from there and into a denser place with no shortage of things to do throughout the year.
Ask HN: Are companies preparing to end Remote?
Today we got an email that our entire global staff would be getting a long weekend, just because.

I also happened to see that tweet about Tesla staff and WFH.

My gut is telling me that a lot of companies will seek to leverage this economic downturn and layoffs to threaten staff into returning.

The dialogue until now has been fairly conciliatory, but we will start to see more come or go type of ultimatums...I am convinced.

I was trying to be clever with my metaphor, but since a lot of people seemed to miss my point, I'll spell it out.

An old person's glasses and walker don't make their body feel worse. They're responses to an underlying change, and in fact make them feel better than they would without them.

Similarly, I'd argue that the ML pipelines and complexities in Google search aren't why search results are worse today. Rather, the web has changed with more SEO spam, walled gardens, content in videos, and search has changed in that you try to find more kinds of information than ever before. It's the underlying changes that make the search seem worse, and all of Google's fancy algorithms are imperfect responses to that. Without them, I'd be surprised if Google's results weren't far worse than in 2006.

The comment I responded to:

> My search results were a lot better in 2006 when, I assume, they didn't have all these ML pipelines...

made it seem like maybe the ML pipelines were somehow causing the decline in quality, rather than simply an imperfect response to changes in the web since then.
I'd like for it to not hang ever.

> I don't blame anybody for seeking a better life, but I'd think at some point, an excess amount of illegal migration would have a noticeable impact in some areas.

I don’t find this to be a useful line of thought most times because it’s extraordinarily nationalistic. What logic justifies saying that migrants are driving out current inhabitants? Only one where the current inhabitants are somehow superior. This doesn’t _just_ apply to international immigration, but also local. In HCOL places, people constantly don’t want people moving in from other cities. What justifies that? Somehow the locals in the city are superior to everyone else in the _entire world_?

Thankfully you cannot restrict moving across state borders. So what justifies restricting moving across national borders?

I really can’t think of a rational justification.

The reality is that the world had a shortage of nice places with high quality of living. Restricting immigration (or local migration) to reduce demand means that those people must stay in their lower quality of life area because of some artificial rule. That’s not fair. What makes a local any different from an immigrant? Both are people. If the immigrant wants to pay a lot of money to purchase a home from a local, why is that a bad thing?
Burning a system to the ground is almost always the best way to turn a bad system into a worse one. Just like the junior devs impulse to tear out the bad code some other guy wrote and replace it with the differently bad code that they wrote.

Refactor. Don't rebuild. The bigger the system, the more true that is.

Texas Law Forcing Twitter to Host Heinous Content Put on Hold

So many talented people working for that money or less in São Paulo, Buenos Aires or Hanoi, it would be worth it to give it a shot even if they just worked part-time.
Oy. I guess they’ll just have to return to the office. People always respect it when authority figures lay down the law as condescendingly as possible, and it’s not like someone with Tesla on their resume has any other options in the tech world. Also, Tesla is known for its healthy and supportive work culture, so most people probably wouldn’t want to leave anyway.

No, I definitely can’t see this ultimatum backfiring on Tesla at all.

Here are my awnsers:

1. Has anybody noticed their own cognitive decline? I'm 30 but am interested in experiences at all ages

I am 40yr old and still feel as mentally sharp as I was in my 20's but I have a lot less endurance, I used to be able to do deepwork for an almost infinite amount of time and nowadays I have 6 hours in a good day.

Also when my wife had cancer my sharpness at work really dropped but it came back with her remission, stress is awful on the mind and the body.

2. Does anybody have a good way of testing their intellect or problem-solving periodically? This would at least help me keep track going forward

How much I am solicited to solve random problem at work is my indicator that I am still sharp. I have become a true full stack debugger and my stack start with the Fibre channels, between the SAN and the VMs hosts, and end in the browser !

3. Has anybody found ways to improve their problem-solving skills? Or critical thinking?

Push-ups and reading as much technical material as I can.

- Maybe my intellect has diminished from using alcohol and weed at an early age?

Alcohol and weed effect are temporary, unless you are a morbidly alcoholic

- Maybe that I've been feeling a bit burnt out

Maybe! From experience burnout or intense stress has a dramatic negative effect on mental sharpness and motivation

- Maybe I've gotten lazy and rely too much on, e.g., stackoverflow

I have no theory on that, except that I usually read manual before resorting to stack overflow.

- Maybe medicine I take for mental health?

If your medicine has a significant anticholinergic component (paxil is one of the worst https://www.theseniorlist.com/medication/anticholinergic-dru... and that list is not extensive as they says), you have your culprit.

- Insufficient sleep? I've been getting 6-7 recently but should probably be getting 7-9

I too sleep 6 to 7 hours a night but I feel like it the amount of sleep I need. If you feel that you need more sleep, do so !

- Maybe I've actually always been dumb and am only now realizing it!

I don't know you so I cannot say for sure but since you noticed your decline, it's unlikely!
