> When I read this though, I just think about how much time your developers are not actually developing because they're doing operational-side work.

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Now instead of doing these things that first time takes a few days, second time a few hours and after that are barely noticeable you dev your thing, then it goes to an Ops queue, which (hopefully next day) comes back with a big fat "heute leider nicht" because you did not understand how the queue works or something. You fix your thing, it goes back to a queue, etc etc.

So your flow is still messed up and yout Time to First Eyeball has increased quite a bit as you have high latency round-trips with external parties.

Obviously there is a tradeoff somewhere, does the dev know all the opsy things or does she know enough to only need to ops when the paved road is not enough or is it the good old "over the wall it goes".
Ugh Seneca. No gracias. Hard pass.
The title is absolute clickbait as it hints that labels would have a direct control (as in, decision power) in the playlists, which is not the case.

All this "study" showed is that major labels have major artists, which are unsurprisingly over-represented over nobodies or smaller artists in playlists curated by a company trying to please the most people possible.

Shocking indeed.
I am reminded of the Black Mirror episode where a woman's dead boyfriend is "resurrected" via his social media exhaust trail, ultimately undermined by the inevitable uncanny valley that reveals itself. Of course that was fiction, and it's not realistic to reconstruct someone's personality from even the most voluminous online footprint, but you can certainly imagine how defensive people would become of the result of any such attempt irl.
Yeah, in my country of origin exactly this rhetoric is used against every minority, from gay people to disabled people. Yeah, they intentionally make places _inaccessible_ for disabled and push autistic children out of schools.
Hennessey and Patterson contains a little bit of soft information/intuition like this (as well as the computer architecture)

Do you have non-anecdotal evidence for this claim? It sounds rather far-fetched.
> I’m not talking about silencing people I disagree with in terms of opinion. I’m talking about fascists disagreeing that certain ethnic/sexual/gender groups should be alive or allowed to thrive, or have certain rights. If you think holding views like that is OK, you walk, talk and quack like a fascist.

That's a nice motte-and-bailey lumping together "should be alive" and "have certain rights". The former is a very specific kind of extreme biggot, and the latter can mean almost anything. You know, words have actual meanings and not everybody who disagrees with you is a fascist. You can look up the definition of the word "fascist" in a dictionary. The definition is a lot narrower than you think. A religious person who opposes abortion is not a fascist. An athlete who opposes trans womens' rights to compete in womens' competitions is not a fascist.

Anyway, our DevOps guy spent probably most of his time "developing" - just not application-level features.
Is there a list of the recipient projects?
At a certain point, hiring dedicated Devops frees up x number of developers to continue to develop features depending on the amount of time each developer is spending on performing those devops duties. It’s just another area management can split up job roles to capture more value and allow deeper specialization among professionals.
So, is Deckard a replicant?
Were microservices a thing back in 2005? Honest question, I always assumed that SOA was more of a newer philosophy in web software. The scale of what we build has changed a lot over the years, as well as the need to handle the variance of scale through techniques like auto-scaling. All of that adds an incredible amount of complexity in systems that surely didn't exist 18 years ago.
On the other hand also running every times it cries it might be wrong (there are studies on this regard)
I have a CalDigit TS3 thunderbolt dock. it works just fine with my old (2018) MacBook Pro, and my new (2022) MacBookPro. I have 2 27 inch Dell 4k monitors. One of them is connected to the dock via DisplayPort. Another one is connected to the dock via USB-C to HDMI. Works like a charm.

I also have my personal 2015 MacBookPro, and I don't really connect that to external monitors these days. If I wanted to, I'd use thunderbolt 2 (mini display port) to display port cables.
You don't post which displays you are using. Or how they are really connected. Tell us what your setup is.
I've really enjoyed learning about all aspects of creating software. Whatever we decide to call it, I'll always enjoy doing things that don't always fit into a neat little job description.
Yeah, how much of this is just a matter of perspective?

I’ve never touched a computer running my company’s production software, and I never will.

20 years ago, that would have been literally inconceivable with someone who was called a “Software Engineer.”

That was a very interesting video, thank you.
Managerialism can work with both capitalist and state socialist structures. This kind of pragmatism is a great strength of the so-called "manager-fractal" - it doesn't matter, really, what the content of management is, because management is formal -- an absolutely new SHAPE of organizing human beings, one whose novelty and brutality we do not consider enough.
From the wiki page:

The visual style of the movie is influenced by the work of futurist Italian architect Antonio Sant'Elia.[51] Scott hired Syd Mead as his concept artist; like Scott, he was influenced by Métal Hurlant

So, err, no. Métal Hurlant was 1974, cyberpunk itself started in the 1960s.

It's based on a book from 1968 after all. Judge Dredd first came out in 1977.

It didn't come up with the aesthetic, it popularized it.
If there's no relevant distinction then why make one? (Indeed, the ability to abstract over irrelevant details is the essence of intelligence). As far as I can see the piece uses "zombie" and "zagnet" entirely legitimately. It does wander, but that's not a crime.
That’s a very “let them eat cake” attitude that doesn’t serve anyone well. EVs are simply not an option for the majority of people in the world until their cost decreases and their range increases.

Fossil fuels need to be phased out but forcing gas prices up this fast is a very cruel way to do it.
It always depends on what type of user you are... The most disgruntled people usually are people who are business owners... If you're not marketing a business or your art work for example, you have no problems and the algorithm entertains you seamlessly.

If you're someone like a musician, makeup artist, or web developer (for example) TikTok floods you with success tips, tutorials about how people went viral, with tips on pay for promotional ads on the platform, and a constant stream of thought leadership programming to keep you struggling and spending time and money on growth. It's quite hostile to anyone who just wants to develop listeners and viewers, or anyone who wants to market a product independently. Big businesses can just have a meeting with TikTok reps, pay a fee, and get prime promo placement. When you run a small business, without lots of employees, managing social media presence becomes a huge mountain to climb, and TikTok won't meat with you unless you're very popular or wealthy (and willing to spend) already.

Everyone on the platform has a different perspective, TikTok's algo is good at determining that and maximizing what can be earned from each user, but it's not fair nor transparent at all, and it creates a situation where no one can question things because there are others that will always say their TikTok experience is "going just fine". User experience all depends on the user's personas.
There are analogues for minors across the US (COPPA), in many other jurisdictions (e.g. CCPA), etc. GDPR, as a human rights law, tends to have far-reaching claws too.

> Like being pro gun in most democrat strongholds.

A very poor choice of example demonstrating a lack of actual experience with those people and groups.

A LOT of hunters are from Democratic strongholds--Pennsylvania and New York, for example. So many people hunt in Pennsylvania (including Pittsburgh and Philadelphia) that the first day of hunting season is a state holiday.

And the "gun control" rhetoric in California originated with "Saint Reagan" (Republican, please note) when minorities started to arm themselves.
Meh... Dev is just clicking on whatever your IDE autocompletes for you. With copilot you do even less. I think some programmers out there have some big heads that need popping.

Building out and automating cloud infrastructure so your simple code can work is way more complex than most things you do every day. But ya, keep telling yourself how smart you are as your write "connect to database, return a value" for the 1000th time.

> That is utter BS.

This is not conducive to the desired environment.

On a more even note I would prefer you spend some time looking at the origins of devops and what it means, it’s a contentious term because it means different things to different people.

The original “Patrick Dubois” (founder of the term) meaning was Systems Administration in an agile fashion.

I suspect that you’re repeating what someone else told you and you’ve just adopted their definition, which is fine, but part of the issue I have with the term myself is that everyone has another meaning than everyone else.
Oh, look at Mr. Moneybags over here!
Similarly spamgourmet has been around since 2001 and other than some brief outages (around the time the founder was sadly struggling with a terminal illness and figuring out succession plans) it's doing fine.
To be clear, you shouldn't discount the movie because it's intertwined anti-Japense sentiment of the time. It's simply more context.

You cannot separate art from the time when it was created. It's why you see a lot of countercultural themes in 1960s movies, for example.

This is true that from business perspective if there was a way to completely cut off engineers and replace them with low-code / saas offerings -> we all would be out of the job next week.

Fortunately for us engineering is quite complicated.
yes, nor does the movie. Eldon Tyrell is not Japanese, Tyrell is not a Japanese or even an Asiatic sounding name, Rachel is not Japanese.

Yutani is a Japanese name, Weyland-Yutani sounds like the merger of an Occidental and Oriental firm.

I was not supporting the Japanese xenophobia zeitgeist idea vis-a-vis the names, I was indicating that the name itself (in Blade Runner) did not support it and indicating that from the source material of the book it was not supported.
I guess in practice I have seen a lot of race based persecution and discrimination, not so much religious persecution. Not saying it doesn’t exist anywhere or for anyone, but based on my own experience, saying “love the lord god” feels way less discriminatory than “white people are preferred to block people” or something.
Expecting all software in a properly written stack to be "good" is a particularly bad take, and one that leads to brittle software. Best to accept reality, deal with it and move on.
I forget who said it but I vaguely remember hearing an Anglican clergyman quoted as saying something like "Anglicans don't do theology" with the implication that Anglicanism is for people not gods.

In fact the few priests, both Anglican and Roman, who I have encountered have all been practical people more concerned with people and their mundane problems than religion or theology.
> That's like saying "agile is firing your scrum masters and tell your developers you're agile now".

This would be an excellent idea in many teams.
Not hiring a dedicated DevOps resource and making your developers do it. Guess what? You've just made your developers do operations.

The work doesn't go away just because you've shifted it. I've seen those places too and worked in some, the developers aren't very productive let's just say.
Or always pay cash?
Nothing against Andrew Niccol, who wrote and directed Gattaca, but the same film with the same actors, directed by Ridley Scott, is really something to contemplate.
Measure your life in decades.

Do your future self favors. Don’t spend, lock it up.

Keep building and growing, be ambitious, yet recognize there is a cycle and you will burn out.

You will be at your prime when you are 35 (if you take proper care of yourself.) you will be old some time after 50, and probably dead (or not much better off) by 100.

The problem most have (unaware to themselves) is not that they don’t live long enough, it is that they are a waste of what life they have.
The first link in the intro of the ABC article leads you to the paper, which is open access (for me at least).

They go into extensive detail of their methodology, but I'll give you a very brief summary that I think might explain why article says they 'take data' from all those folks.

1. Use environmental data to create layers which are superimposed onto the map and represent different concepts such as: water levels, creeks & rivers, topography, and terrain visibility (visual prominence).

2. Divide the map into a grid of 500sqm squares. Attribute these squares with value based on estimated caloric expenditure to traverse and the layer information created earlier.

3. Using a 25 year old woman as the agent, simulate the route of least caloric expenditure and plot it on the map.

(justification: Men travelled further, but often did so without families and thus are less suitable for migratory analysis)

So while strictly true from the ABC, the paper does take data from those sources, I totally agree with you calling that quote vague, its a very clickbaity interpretation of how data is used in the paper.
Yep but cost and when memory starting exceeding 64K.

Preact, Mithril, Zod, etc. There are plenty of projects that have remained relatively light by saying “no” repeatedly to things which are outside their scope or would introduce unwarranted bloat.
"obviously infeasible" is the interesting part. A) the law doesn't care if its infeasible or not. If someone actually challenges GPT3 on this, and GPT3 loses, then these kind of models are obliged to find a way to comply with the law, or stop what they are doing - technical difficulty is not much of a defense. Also B) I think that there is probably a way to do this with either clever training data or algorithmics, which doesn't require retraining of the whole model. We need a precise theory to explain what these models are actually doing anyway. There are so many applications where we need more than a vague or probabilistic response.
Can’t we say that an inactive person just lived through their life quicker because they didn’t spend time on these activities? Absolute years of life isn’t a meaningful metric here, imo.
They merely have to provide contributions that live up to the technical standard of SQLite (good luck) and dedicate them to the public domain. Their religion or lack of is not a problem.
I meant secondary as in a second vehicle so as long as you own an ICE vehicle already. I’m sure if I had an EV it would absolutely get the most usage of the 2. If I dropped $35-50,000 on a car you bet I’d drive it a lot! :)

The book has a level emotional depth of that is not matched in the film. The first dialogue between Deckhart and his wife (yes he is married in the book) is really clever and meta. I was extremely disappointed by the film (I first saw it 2 years ago) and it feels very dated and has that 80s men-women cringe-portrayal. I agree, read the book it is awesome!

Yeah, on that topic, I wish alimony was modified more holistically at the state level to avoid this discussion.

Proponents say “one person does more unpaid labor to support the breadwinner and the lifestyle they were both beneificiaries of”, but why does seemingly nobody create a market value of that unpaid labor (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong). People act like this unpaid labor is the same value at any amount of money that the lifestyle costs, when that’s not true.

“You did the dishes most often according to these angry text messages, and also got to travel to Tuscany in luxury, so here is $800,000 for 10 years and if your ex has any disruption in income then they have to check themselves into jail, if they make more we can modify that amount upwards and assume their income never goes down”

I would like alimony capped at the state level in both amount and time based on what the value of supportive household/emotional labor is.

Monaco’s alimony law is a decent rubric.
Who defines non productive applications? Are movies and video games non productive? Should we stop making entertainment? Should we close down casinos? Why? Why not?
As a software engineer I don’t want to touch your infrastructure code. I have been lucky so far and I have been doing pure product development instead of being a devops. I do believe though in the idea of cross functional teams: designer, developer, infra engineers, managers.

> The world probably doesn't need 750-mile electric cars as much as it needs better and more abundant EV chargers. Let's face it: While a super-advanced vehicle might be able to drive for 14 hours without a break, we human beings can't.

What a way to burn out your devs to save a buck.
Well then the key is to align incentives.

If the powerful bear consequences when something bad happens regardless of fault, then power will be wielded to prevent those outcomes rather than enact them. Anyone who does not wish to take that risk can dispose of their power.

> I’ve felt welcome to contribute to every other open source project out there

This is strange to me, because... we're not welcome in every other open source project. Many open source projects are maintained by a single person or a small team and are not particularly interested in accepting changes from outsiders. SQLite is one of those; they generally don't accept contributions.
