Life is both short and long. At 21 you’ll have so many opportunities to do your own thing going forward that it’s sort of silly for you to worry about it now, on the flip side, now is probably also going to be the time you have the least to lose.

I would normally advice you to go with what you feel is right for you, but right now, I’m personally going to be riding out the next few years as safe as possible. I think the world economy is in for its bumpiest ride in our lifetime. So unless the thing you plan on selling thrives in a market with a broken global supply chain, war in Europe, real climate impact, food shortages, political unrest and recession (and some things will thrive, they always do) then being a startup the next few years will probably be more of a challenge than it’s been for the past few decades.

That happens too. However, archaeology tends to run on budgets that can be generously described as "shoestring". Most of the projects I worked on (some years-long), had total budgets less than half my current tech-company compensation. Since I like to work with older stuff, you can look at the sea level chart [1] and see obvious issue. Submersibles just aren't feasible for most research.

Those are user interface design failures, not a direct consequence of the switch to electronics & automation. There are modern cars that are very pleasant to use (Hyundai Ioniq / Kona are my favorites), while others that have the exact same feature set are terrible (BMW i3, Nissan Leaf).
I keep hearing that "we are all devops" from my PM. The real kicker is that there is a dedicated DevOps team in my organization, they "just have too much to do already".
My (affordable) 2013 11-inch (Intel-based) MacBook Air supports two external (Apple) displays without any issues. In fact, I have two Apple Thunderbolt Displays (A1407) daisy-chained to each other and connected to the thunderbolt port, working flawlessly (with added benefit of integrated ethernet, webcam, and speakers). Since getting added to "Apple Obsolete List", I was hoping to replace the machine with an M1 MacBook Air, but paused bc of lack of multiple monitor support. M2 MacBook Air not supporting it either is a real disappointment, and not sure what to do other than hope Apple re-enables this basic feature on its low-end Mac before my 2013 completely dies.

People being imperfect is why you are required to go through a consulting session and then have to wait 3(?) days to think about it.

(which is one of the weaknesses of the law as the state could cause an situation where getting the consulting is practically unlikely by withholding accreditation, but this is currently not the case at all as far as I know. Through this is if I remember correctly why pro-choice advocates had been against such approaches as at least some republican states can be expected to do exactly that, as it has shown in some other contexts)

Anyway this is NOT a reason to massively constraint the freedom and choice about their own body of a woman. Especially if it might threaten their live. And yes some republican states abortion laws (which are now in effect again I think) do in-practice even prevent abortions all the time which are necessary for the health of the mother, even in cases where there is no or hardly any choice for a child to be born alive even when the mother spends most here time in intensive care of doctors (which most people can't afford anyway)).

And if anything is clear then that a lot of republicans (of which have influence) want to make abortion impossible, partially by law and partially by making it practically impossible in 9 out of 10 cases where it is allowed by law (and wanted).

Lastly you could do the same argument for:

- driving cars, idiots driving car kill a _lot_ of people, including children every year (well more like week)

- having anything weaponizeable from large knives to guns, the amount of children dying because of idiots mishandling guns isn't that small either

- etc. etc.

- also for the ridiculousness: Idiots rising children kill them all the time, too. So surely you should take children away from any adult which isn't socially well established.y

EDIT: Oh forgot the most important part, just because someone is a idiot they shouldn't have less rights.
Communication doesn't require sentience. You don't need to be able to sense the environment to say "I'm being eaten by bugs!", you just need to be able to sense your own body.

On the other hand, the ability to move is pretty much required for sentience. The organism needs to be able to avoid harmful stimuli and seek out beneficial ones to be considered sentient. Just releasing chemicals or signals isn't enough.
All good points; I will however point out something about this specifically:

>then you're going to have to give them lots of time and lots of resources ... that's going to make it all too costly.

If the system has to become prohibitively costly to get it to a level of semblance of actually working, then one has to wonder if it's worth it at all for it to exist.

On the subject of bringing developers to the table: At a previous employer the DevOps folks replaced the CI/CD tools we were happily using and broke my team's integration testing setup. The new tool didn't support what we needed and had been using successfully. Right at the time we were building out new services that depended on having solid integration tests.
Paradox of Tolerance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

> The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.
Maintainer of CloudNativePG here.

Back then, we evaluated Crunchy Operator's source code. Being primarily imperative and using an external tool for failover, where the two main reasons we decided to start a new project in 2019 which was entirely declarative and purely based on the Kubernetes API server for cluster status. Such project was released open source last April under the name CloudNativePG and hopefully it will enter the CNCF Sandbox soon (fingers crossed).
noasaservice, you are the epitome of woke - a living meme.
The best response? “No”.

The code of conduct push was a transparent game of social aggression — an attempt to shift open source power dynamics in favor of:

(1) Allowing social activists, who could not acquire institutional power on the basis of their own technical merit, to co-opt open source institutions for their own aims and to extract resources. See also the contributor covenant, DEI consultants, et al.

(2) Securing the necessary power structures to enforce the beliefs of their particular vein of progressive political activism.

In my experience being very involved with a few large projects that were pressured into adopting a code of conduct, the historically most toxic and socially aggressive personalities in the project became the biggest proponents of adopting a code of conduct, engaging in bad faith and with extreme social aggression to tear down any detractors, hiding behind their newfound righteousness as a defense.

The new MacBook pros won’t drive 4k over hdmi for me. However DisplayPort over usb c gets me the whole 4k at 144hz my monitor is capable of, but at the cost of not providing power or forwarding my monitor’s usb ports, so I lost the ability to plug in one port and be finished docking the MacBook in my upgrade.

It’s a shame that I ended up having to have a mess of cables for power, mouse/keyboard/peripherals and display when docking, but it works.
The corporation is more likely to be accountable from experience.
Funnily enough, DisplayPort in theory should be a lot better because USB C uses DisplayPort -- both in DisplayPort and Thunderbolt alternate modes. A HDMI monitor and a semi-modern Mac inevitably involves an LSPcon.
Why the past tense? That capability is very much still present in modern implementations.
Honestly from everything that I've heard is that the Go 2 is overall a better device especially under Linux. Plus it's cheaper.

Everything works except for the cameras. I mean the cameras can be made to kinda work, but in their current state don't produce a very good picture.
Cheers. Your rhetorical style is a little rough perhaps, but you're not wrong.

When you compared the payments to "blood money" I was like "Oh my", but then I recalled an article that points out that Bill Gates knew Epstein "decades prior to 2011" ( https://unlimitedhangout.com/2021/05/investigative-reports/t... ) and I throw up my hands (and my breakfast.)

The discourse surrounding Marvel is ten times as grumpy, Star Wars is simply underperforming. The Mandalorian was a decent save, but they're out of films that a bunch of people will go see no matter what, now that the core storyline is told.

There's time to turn the ship around, but if the next two cinema releases are duds the franchise is in real trouble. Marvel can blow a movie any time they like.

It's Disney, I expect they'll squeeze profit out of the IP for a long time to come, but that might end up dominated by short animated series aimed squarely at kids. Hard to say, Favreau understands what Star Wars is and hopefully they see that and scale it.
Multiple displays work for me, but some features seem half-baked.

Rents in most of the country didn't inflate like assets, though. (Because the asset growth was mostly funded through magical borrowed money, while rent is paid by real wages received by real people. No wage growth = limited rent growth. Except in places like SF, where it is paid by stock grants, which grow thanks to magical borrowed money.)
Yep! Even the eSim works (as long as you register it in Windows first).
I discovered that VESA certifcation for DisplayPort cables makes a big difference. My go-to brand here is Accell. I stopped messing with HDMI long ago.

My two monitors are Dell QHD, which have proven very reliable. I am using them with a MacBook Pro M1 14”. They are connected with USB-C to DP cables to a Thunderbolt 4 docking station (also from Accell).
I need this to be expanded upon.

Presumably you don't mean your own life or data, or that of your friends and family where you can find consent.

So what's left is arguing for a right to remember strangers with high degree of accuracy, which is just fucking creepy no matter how you defend it.

I last had that thought when we had the discussion a out a "divided public opinion on the COVID response" in Germany. Polls suggested roughly 80% were supportive of the measures.

If a political party would win with an 80:20 majority everybody would call it an absolute domination of the minority vote, yet somehow when it comes to vocal minorities we let them trample on us like this.

I'm against anything that makes the tax code more complicated than it already is. No one should need a doctor's note to do their taxes.

Like you mention, miscarriages happen 10-15% of the time, but the infant mortality rate was 5.4 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2020 [0], that's less than 1%. So once a child is born there is a significantly higher chance of that paperwork being meaningful.

> please beef up corporate civil/criminal liability and punitive damage

That's not enough. Liability is a concept in civil law. Civil suits are inadequate not only because they can only address harms after the fact, but also because they can't even do that when the harm is delayed or diffuse. Also, replacing regulation with litigation would not reduce any of the associated burdens. It would still be necessary to set standards by which cases can be decided, to have judges and clerks and lawyers (and juries?) to measure cases against those standards, and somebody to enforce those decisions. Since the actions would have to come later, the resulting bureaucracy would probably be even larger and more intrusive than is already the case.

"Just make people responsible" ignores how people actually are held responsible in the real world. For all practical purposes "just make it easier for people to evade responsibility" is the real meaning.

It's interesting to read the proposed "SoftOps" approach - it's something I've been trying to do in my own little bubble, working on making the lives of developers easier (especially when getting their code from repo to prod), with the developers creating systems. I volunteer for a convention run entirely within VRChat, with a handful of supporting services (API for tracking players, instances and registration, frontends for admin and attendees, and so on), and while the department is named "DevOps" (too late to change it, and everyone knows what we mean), I landed on the infrastructure subteam. While part of the job was building out our new Kubernetes cluster (mostly for scaling. I'm still working on the blog post about this sort of stuff), I wanted to make sure that the developers could be completely abstracted away from _where_ their code was running, and as much as possible _how_. Of course, they're free to mess with whatever tooling I setup for them (mostly Docker images, GitHub Actions, etc), but I've found it very fulfilling to "exist to serve" (because infrastructure? servers?) the developers pushing out code. If we need some custom internal tooling to support that development cycle I'm more than happy to get something written and deployed (something for the blog post). It may be barebones but I wouldn't stop a developer from another team contributing (provided they don't have something more pressing).

All this to say... I really like supporting developers in their work, as a sort of meta-engineer.

edit: worth pointing out I do something sort of similar at my current employer, but it lands a bit more on the type of devops that the author describes as having failed, and I'm actively working to see if I can find a position that better suites my skillset!

> While our time series analysis supports previous findings that periods with persistently scarce supply last no longer than two weeks, we find that the maximum energy deficit occurs over a much longer period of nine weeks. This is because multiple scarce periods can closely follow each other.

Sure, but if renewables are over-provisioned and used to make syngas, Germany could store ten weeks worth[0]. Of course it's more complicated than that, because the gas storage capacity only provides a portion of Germany's total energy needs, but this would be in addition to batteries and other types of energy storage such as green ammonia.

Really well put, especially in regards to the notion that the less obvious mode of abstraction of visual media increases the risk that we mistake it for reality.

Meh…DevOps is just System Administration, and Systems Administration is just Sys Ops. They keep changing the title/role but the work remains largely the same. I think is a bit disingenuous to throw “dev” in title, as a “DevOps Engineer” myself I don’t consider anything I ever do “dev”. Ansible is not “dev”, terraform is not “dev”, ci/cd pipelines are not “dev”, helm charts aren’t “dev”. But for some reason companies seem to love the term.

You mentioned Patreon as an alternative. Do you think that the people supporting with $5/month shouldn't be considered "backers" or "funders"?

You also mentioned the FOSS Foundations, like the PSF. Where do you think that their money comes from? I have $25/month sent their way to support the JazzBand devs. Do you think that I should stop my contribution just because it is so small in the grand scheme of things?

Of course no one is going to quit their jobs over one company giving $500/year. But I'm failing to see how this is an issue. It's not like MS / Github are announcing they are going to hire all the FOSS devs from all projects they depend on. They just gave some money. Instead of looking at this and thinking "this is BS", why can't we look at this and think "Oh, nice! If even shitty companies like MS are starting to help, how can we get the better ones to do it too?"
the word devops reminds me of being in constant development and never being able to reach a stable state. constantly new features, solutions, trials, alternatives and other things...
I can't for the life of me understand why people don't put static ads that are relevant to the consumers of their content. I was close to doing this once for a product I was CTO of, but I couldn't push it all the way through. We were so niche, and knowing exactly who our audience was. It's mind boggling to me that we chose to darkly monetize their data instead of showing them relevant domain ads.
