AFAIK there were also cheaper ones, but the more important takeaway, IMO, is that Stradivarius isn't something magical (like this article also claims in the headline), but simply a very well crafted violin. Which is great, but no lost art.
On the contrary, observing what other people do is a primary way to learn. Considering the utter lack of financial education many receive from school or parents, it’s a quite an important signal.

But something tells me you’re not interested in constructive dialogue.
I believe it. I think zoning and building codes are most of the problem. Allow 200 sqft apartments like you find in NYC and you will see a stark reduction in the working homeless.

> Number of papers published or number of citations isn't a measure of the value of someone's research. This over-reliance on metrics is a big part of what's going wrong with academia. A hundred years ago people published when they had something to say, and authors of journals had to literally beg people for submissions.

It is the universal measure of how useful your research is. How do you measure it otherwise? Research is useful if somebody else uses it. Most research in humanities has no use. I'm not against humanities per se, the same could be said about biology, for example. I'm against forcing people to pay very high wages for doing nothing of value. Because, let's face it, academics actually make very decent wages for the zero-risk job they have.

> So is education. All developed countries spend public money on education.

I don't see university-level education as a fundamental aspect of government spending, at least not in its current form. Also, the fact that everybody does it means nothing.

> In the UK? In the UK a minimum wage worker pays hardly any tax, so they don't subsidise much of anything. If the question is why society should subsidise that, my answer would be that it should do so if it values historical knowledge (assuming that we're still talking about history PhDs). If you are just saying "history sucks, so let's not spend money training people to be historians", then sure, that is a coherent position.

'Hardly any tax' is quite a bold statement. You are clearly not on minimum wage. Try living in London on £1,300 a month. Even if they 'only' pay 20%, there is also a 20% VAT on everything they spend.
It could have been designed better to be easier to set up and use. Especially for ad-hoc or more casual use. If it is easy to use casually, people will use it more and they will learn how to use it faster. It is also easier to see why you would invest in learning to create more complex configurations.

Pretty much every piece of software I've written in the past decade that tends to have configs in production can also work with little or no config. Including clustered software that just exploits things that are widely available like Zeroconf to get a decent low effort cluster up and running. No, you probably won't be able to (or want to) use those features in production, but that's beside the point. The point is to lower the thresholds. And then keep aiming at lowering them wherever you can because asking other people to care about your software is seriously uncool. Other people will never care as much as you do.

It is normal for programmers to become defensive about software. Be it their own or software they really like. But it is far more productive to assume that when users think something is awkward, perhaps it is because it is awkward. And perhaps it could have been done better.

Nobody actually gives a crap what someone thinks Kubernetes was built for -- and what kind of rubbish experience they think is deeply justified by the goals.

It is either needlessly awkward to use or it isn't. And guess what: most people think it is awkward. And I seriously doubt it needs to be this awkward.
Definitely a pain point I've seen in my past work as well. Even though spinning up a basic cluster has gotten easier with canned services like EKS, deploying and developing on the cluster is a major challenging for most developers without a higher level framework.

My cofounders and I are working on a solution to this at https://www.jetpack.io/. If you're interested in early access, we'd love your feedback!
> The telephone is not an essential utility that people will die without, either.

As someone who has been in situations where calling 911 and getting emergency services to a location ASAP I can 100% argue having telephone service available saves lives. More people would absolutely die if telephone service wasn't as widespread.
Agreed. Svelte was the first front end framework that ever made sense to me. I was able to do things in it that I never dreamed of doing in React/Vue.
It's a scripting language popular on Unix servers & workstations in the 90s. TK is a rapid gui kit.

Basically for everything you'd use a quick web based control panel for now, you'd connect to the server and start a tcl/tk script. It'd open up a gui you could control with X Windows.

There's probably still a lot of code out there.

Senior full-stack dev (lean more towards devops->backend than backend->frontend, but I can still sling some React components together and reduce your JS payload size). Lately I've been loving Stimulus Reflex and playing with a lot of micropython/ESP32/IoT stuff.

I excel at figuring out how to solve problems at all levels of abstraction (including what level of abstraction you should use), getting a solution in place, and then figuring out the feedback loops to iterate on that solution. I'm the senior engineer that knows that most coding is coming to an understanding of what problem you are trying to solve. Sometimes the most impactful code is the code you don't write.

Trying to change the world, still parsing the source code. I've been programming on the web since 1995, had a first career as a social worker and policy statistician, and have worked full-time as a programmer for almost a decade now.

Especially enjoy API and system design, integrating with crappy systems, user research, and really weird bugs. Make a decent PM in a pinch, but would prefer you have great PMs.

Will give you more looks if you can tell me why what you are doing makes the world better, but you've got to really believe it in your heart.

To me the most intuitive and flexible UI would be something like Avidemux where you have a picker of filters/transforms and you can add them to a box on the right (potentially you can add them multiple times, etc) and then configure them. That is a very powerful "general" UI flow that works reasonably well imo.

But yeah you're right, it's all a question of how much capability you want to surface, because the more you surface the more quickly it gets complex and inscrutable to anyone not in the know.
Any interest in working with CV & AI/ML for a U.S. government contractor? I'm a fellow SWE within NG and can help recommend some open positions we have, if you're interested.

You wrote: <<It is hard to switch out of this mode.>> Is that for you or other people? My point: I don't care about other people "relaxing" on a beach / poolside, stuffing themselves at the buffet. I never do it. When that type of person comes to ask for advice after my most recent holiday, I always tell them to go away (nicely, of course!). It is a waste of time to talk about being stuck in a bus terminal for 8 hours waiting for the next bus, but striking up a conversation with a local imam... and learning lots about the local community, culture, language, and food.

One of interesting bits is how Ed Burns rails against the 5th season, almost universally considered by fans to be the worst season:

> NYT: In retrospect, is there anything else that you wish that the show had done differently?

> BURNS: I wish that Season 5 took a different direction, as far as the newsroom was concerned, and didn’t debase the idea of investigation. But it’s fine. What we tried to get across is that the kids that we saw in [Season 4] were becoming, as they approached adulthood, the guys that we saw in [Seasons] 1, 2, 3 and 4. It was continuous. This is just the next generation.

What's interesting is that David Simon has no response to this question. I know he's said that S5 was not ideal, because HBO allowed him only 10 episodes, making it the shortest season by far. But basing the season around the Baltimore Sun newsroom was definitely Simon's idea — and arguably, his baby[0] — and that almost necessitated the major subplot of the homicide detectives going off the rails as a thematic foil. I wonder if Simon 20 years later thinks the final season could have ended any other way?

I think the really interesting observation here is that nobody tries to make a living selling small CLI programs, and moreover that these GUI programs tend to also be under proprietary licenses without so much as source available for viewing.

I find it interesting because I think very few people are willing to go through the trouble to "pirate" a $6 app if it had a free-as-in-freedom license. Building GUI applications from source tends to be a pain in the ass, and the people who weren't willing to pay $6 aren't even potential customers in the first place.
I mean, this guy is shady yes, but the people who bought into a financial instrument without really understanding it made their bed.

Same here, I almost fell out of my chair.
In times of great exuberance yes, but eventually the markets do revert back and generally the broad market has been a good source of consistent, reasonable returns(6-9%). One should use their own common sense when evaluating risk and the major reason to get into a market should not be simply because others are doing it.
Cookies work great for SPAs and I highly recommend the path for first party auth. Setting up CSRF tokens on the frontend is a lot easier than setting up OIDC.
Northvolt | Backend Software Engineer, Connected Battery | Stockholm, Sweden (remote within 1 or 2 timezones can be discussed) | northvolt.com

Do you have that feeling sometimes that what you are doing is entirely inconsequential? You joined that startup with the cute-sounding name with promises of disruptiveness, but at the end of the day you are just doing yet another CRUD application that likely will run out of both runway and users and pivot to become some evil-ish adtech thing to survive? Yeah, we've all been there.

Northvolt is different! We will make a difference, we _are_ making a difference, and we want curious, intelligent, passionate engineers from junior to staff to help us on this journey.

External connectors are pretty much the only kind of component that is still routinely being used in (full or partial) through-hole form-factor.

Laptop in question does use partial through-hole connectors for all 4 USB-C ports - notice 6 shiny slots around each such port around 0:25 mark in video. Such connectors are actually harder to rework/replace, but also tougher and less likely to require repair in the first place. So overall, well-done here to framework, even if most everybody else is doing that too.
Of course they’re not. It just might get more complicated for users but it’d be super easy for them to set up cloaking. uBlock could deal with that, ISP won’t.

Either way that will never happen obviously; Why would an ISP “block ads”? They’re literally hosting Google hardware (specifically YouTube’s cache)

This was a very helpful explanation of why dialyzer yells at me sometimes and I can't figure out why. Is it possible to analyze a particular function with `underspecs` or `overspecs` without affecting the rest of the code?
Think Big.

A computer that’s also a Galaxy.
The cloud providers haven't closed the DevOps loop yet is why. I mostly have experience with Google's stuff, so I will take Cloud Build as an example. It provides the framework of CI/CD, but there isn't automatic build+deploy for every software and framework ecosystem.

What I'm trying to do at work is simplify the build ecosystem for all languages to the familiar `configure ; make ; make test ; make install` sequence that works well for OSS. If every ecosystem fit into that metaphor then the loop could be closed pretty effectively by any cloud provider by letting users add repositories to the CI/CD framework and it would do e.g. a standard docker build (configure, make, test), docker push (make install 1/2), and kubectl rollout to k8s at the end (remainder of make install).

Blockers:

Liveness and readiness checks are not automatic; they need to be part of each language*framework so that developers don't have to implement them by hand. At Google they just sort of came with the default HTTPServer class in your language of choice, with callbacks or promises you knew you had to invoke/complete when the instance was ready to serve. It helped that only 4 languages were officially supported.

Integration tests have no standard format and many deployments are combinations of artifacts built from multiple repositories, and configuration is not standardized (configmaps or ENVs? Both? External source of feature flags?) so all integration tests are manual work.

Metrics and SLOs are manual work; only humans can decide what actual properties of the system are meaningful to measure for the overall health of the system beyond simply readiness/liveness checks. Without key metrics automatic rollouts are fragile. This also means autoscaling isn't truly automatic; you need quality load metrics to scale properly. Not all services are CPU or RAM limited, and sometimes the limit varies depending on traffic.

All that said, cloud functions (Google, AWS, or other versions) are beyond DevOps. If you don't need high-QPS services then use cloud functions. They bypass 90% of the headaches of having code running on https endpoints. Most people don't have high-QPS (10K requests per second per shard) services, and could probably get away with cloud functions (1000 RPS on GCP). Everyone else pays the DevOps or hopefully the SRE tax for now. But we're still trying to automate ourselves out of a job; we don't want to be doing DevOps day-to-day either.
I love it, but then I've been doing C# since the beginning. The language does appear to show its age though. I recently tried teaching it to my kid and realized that it has grown quite a bit of cruft.

There are a ridiculous amounts of ways to declare a variable.

Employee employee = new Employee();
var employee = new Employee();
Employee employee = new();

And that doesn't even count the initializers {}, records, dynamic, etc... All this makes it difficult for a new develop to jump into it.
>But money worries aren't ever on my mind. I never have to worry about paying the bills. If I changed jobs tomorrow and made significantly less.. my lifestyle would not change.

Yep, that's me and my 22-year-old Subaru. I can even go to the restaurant without doing any mental arithmetic. It wasn't always like this, but now that it is, I have no desire to go back.
Wow how do you have time for sleep, exercise, bootstrap start up, learn another language, etc. as a single dad? Any suggestions on life organization? Do you have a team of nannies/house help?
