> And the latest commit is "shifted all indentation per linter" by someone who didn't write the code

IME it's not like that at all, commits like "shifted all indentation per linter" are not so common. It's also easy to skip them.

> Useful "Why" comments

"Why" comments are not so useful to me, I guess that is the point. The add noise in the code that can be moved elsewhere.

Consider that I'm not talking about specific implementation choices comments, like

# using heapsort instead of quicksort
# because we care about the worst case

heapsort(data)

which is perfectly fine to be in the code, I'm talking about "why" details that may be not present in the Jira/Whatever issue because they are related to e.g. why a bug raised up from a technical point of view.
Great in-detail article, thanks! In the last paragraph you state that pseudo read-write-ex­ecute maps work "on the shiny new Apple sys­tems". Do you mean M1 with macOS 12 on arm64? Did you try it on other hardware/OSs? If it only works there, any ideas why that is?
> I like America's Test Kitchen for kitchen-y stuff.

For me, America’s Test Kitchen compromises on quality too much for the sake of convenience. And perhaps that is their target audience, but they dismissed Demeyere’s cookware out of hand for being too heavy and unwieldy, whereas a site like centurylife uses IR cameras and probe thermometers to actually measure heat distribution and retention across different cookware sets.

I don’t understand the “too heavy” complaint anyway; people cook with cast iron (Lodge / Le Creuset) all the time, and it is significantly heavier than Demeyere.
My maternal grandfather is 95 and his attitude is similar. Meanwhile my father gets into one bad deal after another.

That being said the former is, for lack of a better word, a minimalist, while the latter seized an opportunity to move out from a back then communist state and make enough money to buy property with cash.

I grew up utterly confused on how to conduct myself.
That breaks down when your dealing with properties next to each other. The surrounding area can easily dwarf the difference a single property makes here.

Assuming all things where equal the lower population density one might be assessed at a higher LTV because it’s next to a higher population density and the higher population density one would be assessed lower because it’s next to a low population density one.

But the actual effect depends on many factors, being next to poor people generally lowers property values etc.

So much this. System failure is a statistics game. Which is why I like the Erlang approach of having isolated state that you assume will corrupt after a while and you can restart that part of your application with a fresh state.

K8s does this, kind of, on a higher level, where the downtime is often more noticeable because there's more to restart. But if your application is already highly fault-tolerant, this is just another point of failure.

While this may be true for individuals, the actors incentivized to perpetrate these attacks include operators of competing currencies and nation-states who have the requisite resources.

I got a cheap Surface Go 2 a few days ago, with 4 gb ram. Installed Fedora 36 and it works ok with a few caveats [0]. It feels smoother than win11 which it came with. I have Weston running in a separate tty where I run the full Waydroid UI/a complete Android OS. This runs super smooth and games like Asphalt 8 and a Tux racing game has great graphics with no lag. Firefox for Android works as well, but I have seen more crashes than I'd like, I might try upgrading from LineageOS 10 to 11 one day and see if it fixes it. Video at 1080p plays fine in Fedora, Waydroid handles up to 720p before it starts lagging.

I really like having a machine that can go from full blown desktop, to Linux tablet, and to Android for tablet friendly games.

As another commenter has pointed out, from a people's perspective, if you leave propaganda aside, there was really not drastic difference between USSR and capitalist countries. Depending on the local implementation, you may have had more or less women's rights or gay rights, or more or less free healthcare, but at the end of the day ordinary people are still destroying their bodies working in fields and factories all day long and going hungry at times while an enlightened elite will drown in luxury, and if those people dare question the status quo the police or secret political police will imprison, torture, or assassinate them.

Apart from the specific forms they take, there's not much difference between working life and political repression under USSR, and that under USA. For more reading on KGB-like political repression in the USA, i recommend to check out COINTELPRO. For more reading on how USSR was not communist, i recommend to read Emma Goldman's fantastic accounts of her time in Russia and her disillusions with the Bolsheviks, one of which is very brief entitled "There is no communism in Russia": https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/emma-goldman-there-i...

TLDR: In USSR there was no abolition of property to develop the commons. There was seizure of some forms of private property to become State property instead.
In the current NFSv4 RFC (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7530#section-5.9 ) it says:

> To provide a greater degree of compatibility with NFSv3, which
identified users and groups by 32-bit unsigned user identifiers and
group identifiers, owner and group strings that consist of ASCII-
encoded decimal numeric values with no leading zeros can be given a
special interpretation by clients and servers that choose to provide
such support. The receiver may treat such a user or group string as
representing the same user as would be represented by an NFSv3 uid or
gid having the corresponding numeric value.

I'm not sure how common this extension is, at least the Linux server and client support it out of the box. Isilon also supports it, but it must be explicitly enabled.

Nah, they decided some subreddits are "bad for advertisers" during the covid time, and /r/conspiracy got put on a long list of "undesirables". The precedent for the was /r/the_donald before that).

Some more radical pro-censorship subreddits decided to just ban anyone posting on any of those subreddits, and the sentiment spread to larger subreddits, like eg. /r/pics).

Combine conspiracies and covid, and "spreading covid fake news" was the official reason to ban people just by posting to any of such subreddits.

Sorry, but that's just too inaccurate. Challenger was the name of an orbiter (one of several), the whole system was called the Space Shuttle, and one part of the system were the SRBs (Solid Rocket Boosters), and Morton-Thiokol was responsible for the actual rocket motor part of the SRBs.

For Linux there's the richacl's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richacls ) which was an attempt to add NFSv4/Windows style ACL's to the Linux VFS. It never went upstream though, AFAICT largely because the VFS maintainer thought such ACL's are stupid.
Resistance to Beethoven's music continued well into the 20th century. From Charles Rosen's "Critical Entertainments":

>The difficulty of understanding Beethoven is well known: even at the end of the nineteenth century the late works were still contested, and the most famous piano teacher in Vienna, Leschetizky, advised his pupil Artur Schnabel not to play the last sonatas. In fact, I doubt if the enemies of contemporary music would sit through the Grosse Fuge if they did not know that Beethoven wrote it. Even as recently as the 1930s and 1940s, chamber music societies in smaller American cities would threaten to cancel concerts by the Budapest Quartet if they insisted on playing a late Beethoven quartet.

(PM-T on the EFS team)

S3 and EFS actually are quite different. Files on EFS are update-able, rename-able and link-able (I.e what’s expected from a file system), while S3 objects are immutable once they are created. This comes from the underlying data structures. EFS uses inodes and directories while S3 is more of a flat map.

Protocol-wise EFS uses standard NFS 4.1. We added some optional innovations outside the protocol that you can use through our mount helper (mount.efs). This includes in-transit encryption with TLS (you can basically talk TLS to our endpoint and we will detect that automatically), and we support strong client auth using SigV4 over x509 client certificate.
Never even considered that. Although as an Australian it’s not even close.
Hey, congrats on the journey!

Especially on the community building aspect, it's really impressive that you've been able to spark so many communities on various platforms (Reddit, GitHub, Discord, etc.)!

On a more technical note, since dsq is based on the "load it into SQLite and query it from there" architecture, have you considered integrating with the plugin ecosystems of other existing projects based on that same architecture, like Datasette[0]? It seems like a way to add a lot of value to your tools without much work.

Just curious, cause I'm thinking about doing something similar for OctoSQL[1] (write an adapter for the rich library of plugins Steampipe[2] has, as they have a similar gRPC plugin-based architecture as OctoSQL), for the reasons I listed above.

On a more commercial note, overall I think tools like this are very hard to monetize, because right now they're just a fairly niche use case, between - as you mentioned - full blown data analytics platforms and observability query systems, as well as standard unix tools. Especially since if you need the analytics a lot, you'll probably have time to integrate it into your preferred analytics solution (like BigQuery). Do you have any thoughts on that?

I think the main risk of the HN architecture is that (I believe) it's a single datacentre in a single location. Hopefully they have offsite backups.

The other risk I guess would be that all the NS are AWS/route53 severs, so if that went down they'd be up for about a minutes (looks like the DNS TTL is 2 minutes).

You could host your own NS servers in two different locations on two different providers, you could have a third hot spare server ready to go too, that would allow the service to survive an earthquake flattening San Diego (off site server ready to go), and cope with the loss of AWS DNS. Whether the cost/benefit ratio is there is another matter. I think the serving side of route53 is fairly reliable though (even when the interface to update records fails on a frequent basis), and the cost of being down isn't particularly terrible.
As in the article, I think it depends to some extent on what question you're asking. "What is the population of the US?" is almost definitely intended to include Alaska and Hawaii, but if someone asks "what is the geographic center of the US," they probably intend for the answer to be something in South Dakota, not the point off the coast of British Columbia that you get if you include Alaska and Hawaii, or the point out in the middle of the Pacific if you include Guam, etc.
Language is funny, “the Challenger” can refer to different things depending on context.
I can tell you I'm far less productive as a developer when I have to waste hours figuring out errors to do with AWS cloudformation or various managed service issues, or play/app store certificate expiring or what not. I have the necessary analytical skills to figure out stuff as I need to, but it's far more efficient to let others who are used to dealing with it all the time and seem (perversely) to enjoy what I would admittedly consider the unsexy part of maintaining software and ensuring its availability to customers. I'd even argue it requires (esp. for operating production systems) a different sort of mindset.
Sounds ultimately like a debate about where the boundaries of specialisation should be. Some programmers are happy (and very productive) being extraordinarily specialised (knowing only a single language and working only on very particular components), others are used to wearing a very wide variety of hats, that even includes people and project management. I'd probably consider myself somewhere in the middle, but recently I've been painfully aware of spreading myself too thin trying to handle both feature development, CI/CD maintenance and DevOps-related tasks ensuring our cloud-based environments are deployed to and operate smoothly. On top of various other tech-lead/staff-engineer type responsibilities of course.
This is true. I too would rejoice to see Jira die in a fire; but the fact is that if that happened, another tool would be used instead, and the same dysfunctional management processes would just re-emerge.

There is nothing preventing you from pretending that a source file is not plain text but rather a bespoke AST encoding that just happens to look like plain text.
