Dry years indeed. My prediction is most people will end up back in the office.

Why?

Because most companies will go hybrid, and it’ll pretty quickly become apparent that the people in the office are getting the choice projects, bigger raises and the promotions everyone is gunning for.

And on top of that if we end up in a recession employers will have the power to say “if you don’t want to work in an office we’ll find someone who does”.

I don't know. This comes up all the time in photog discussions but I think it's just a matter of older Pros being used to it. Last Olympics was the first time I saw almost as many Sony cameras as Canon in the stands, so we will see if the pros all go back to CaNikon because they can't live with Sony and their argos - plenty of people have shot Sony now and Canon/Nikon have equal alternatives.

Canon/Nikon and Sony sure have different ergonomic visions. But I think, at the end of the day, it's more about professional support, parts and service availability, turnaround and general reliability than size/ergo.

Personally, I'm in the Sony camp - I use my 200-600 for hours for wildlife with my "bare" A9 or RIV without any issues. I feel like it's really the lens I'm holding and the camera is just an attachment I look through.

Imo, Sony's customizable enough that _anything_ is just a button away without ever taking my eyes off the EVF, no need for a larger body to fit the buttons and dials. But to each their own, and it's a great that we now have all the options.

And wildlife is a bit of specialty field, AF performance ultimately trumps ergonomics for most serious photographers, I think.

The difference is that for weight loss they basically all work (to the extent that they reduce calories). So "what works for you" translates to "what lets you consume X calories with less mental effort".

I agree.

> the anecdotal evidence I’ve gathered has been that the conference are heavily attended by operations, and less attended by developers.

Most Ops people - fuck, even most actual DevOps Engineers - have no clue what the fuck DevOps is. They (rightfully) assume it's just a trendy new word for the same old Ops bull, but in the cloud and with Terraform.

DevOps failed because it never educated anybody except a very small handful of people who actively were looking to solve big organizational problems. It was too many things to too few people. It could succeed only if you brought everybody in the entire org through three different training courses. And that's because DevOps tries to make Operations uplift literally the entire technology organization.

DevOps is dead. The ideas are great, but we need to bring the ideas to people outside Ops. Until then it will just be a slightly-more-technologically-advanced Ops.

Not anything, you could run a five hundred calorie deficit and only eat table sugar. You’d lose weight and gain serious metabolic disease.

This is an extreme, but obviously there’s better and worse things. Maybe it’s pretty comparable in the reasonable middle, but let’s not kid ourselves and say anything can work if we are talking whole body health not just weight loss.

I live pretty close to a movie theater. And I look at their posters and marquee regularly. Then when I’m in the theater, I usually watch the trailers they show before the movie starts.
So their untrained model watches a lot of online videos of people playing Minecraft and then plays like a pro?

This is a hot take.

The reason that you need to do things the ops way is because ops knows how to run applications in production. There's a reason the meme "worked in dev, ops problem now" exists. You need to meet all of the requirements of an app that's running in production from a technical, availability, security, and policy point-of-view. It's not easy and that's why this will never work.

Software is hard, it's just that a lot of developers used to cut their code, run it on their laptop, and let someone else worry about it. It's different these days (although not as much as I'd like).

We don't make you use these tools because we want to, we use these tools because we're required too. No one cared about ISO27001, SOC2, or PCIDSS compliance for your crappy PHP app you ran on your cpanel. They didn't care back then you were using md5 hashes to "secure" passwords. The world is fundamentally different to what it used to be 10-15 years ago, and the requirements from business are astronomically different.

Edit: and to people saying "oh you could just run it on a single server", no you can't because certifications like ISO27001 require certain levels of availability and DR. You're not going to be able to guarantee that with a single server running in a rack somewhere.

> but actually wants something very political which is changing the USDA guidelines (which have far reaching effects) to recommend low-carb as essentially the go to default diet.

That seems like an uncharitable and inaccurate assumption on your part and goes against what the author explicitly stated. The author summarizes their argument at the end of the article: "But the only way to create change is if the Dietary Guidelines considers low-carb as an option. Not a prescription, just an option."

> the accusation of ignoring science except as a way to make the board look bad because the author would clearly not be satisfied with “we each read in full literally every paper on the subject of low-carb diets but as a group remain unconvinced in its merits for a general recommendation.”

The author laid out a pretty clear case for the claim. Instead of engaging with that case, you instead choose to speculate that the author has unreachable standards.

That is not how you engage in good faith discussion.
While I agree that beauty is important, and would love that all of the world's buildings were beautiful, economics prevent it (and always have).

Only the rich can support such conspicuous consumption, and so only the rich do it, making such beautiful things rare.

The author is falling victim to survivorship bias: The old, beautiful buildings are still around BECAUSE they are beautiful. All of the ugly, utilitarian buildings of each past era have long since fallen, as will the ugly utilitarian buildings of today at some point.

There was, however, a sharp rise in cheap, ugly buildings during the reconstruction after WW2 (out of necessity), and we're still feeling the effects of that.

Bear McCreary is mostly orchestral, but the "Cult of Baltar" cue, for example, seems to me cut from some of the same corners of the world/ambient universe.

It was not hyperbolic, that was what happened to my team. We had two system administrators, one who specialized in Unix and one in Windows. I was the lone programmer, having escaped a previous sysadmin position. I can do it, I don't like it, but I can do it.

Then one day I was told that our two sysadmins had been traded off and we were getting two new programmers, but they wouldn't be programmers and neither would I, we were going to be doing DevOps. I had just escaped that!
To the best of my knowledge: GDPR has no exception for public data. If you have PII, you need a reason. Consent is a reason; "needed for the requested business" (eg. home address for online shops) is a reason. "Having fun with autogenerating sentences"... doesn't seem like one.

All the existing residents of these towns would hate everything about this. Also, once you bring in things to do so people aren't "bored", and fill it with hipsters... you just have the city again. The small town vibe is lost. The lower prices are gone, because high income earners have moved in, and the locals are priced out of the town they grew up in.

This is a horrible idea.

If a company wants to buy an empty plot of land and try to make their own city, ok, let's see what that's like... but don't destroy good small towns by turning them into some weird hybrid.
Even without the science... for me personally at 47 and a life long sugar addict (used to eat tablespoons of white sugar from pantry), a low carb (keto) diet has been a complete game changer. I kept my weight in check by doing 6 days of exercise a week, but I was on an energetic roller coaster. 3 months in, no sugar, no cravings (I crave oils sometimes) and damn I just feel well in a way I haven't for long before I can remember.

My habits formed when young and when my body was more capable of handling high sugar. But after aging, insulin sensitivity declines, sugars have a more adverse effect, and feels like high sugar levels have just been feeding an imbalance in the GI tract.

Reading into the peculiar new science of poop transplants it's been interesting to observe my body as a factory process and the quality of the output (poop) is an important great indicator of system health. Obvious to many, but was not to me for years. In parallel to improved gut health my focus and productivity are more predictable.

I thought I'd never kick my addiction to sugar. After making the switch and viewing from a different perspective I'm shocked how where I live 95% of everything in the grocery store has sugar added.

Isn't YouTube a pretty good example of long tail? Sure, there are some very large channels but also many medium sized channels as well. It seems that these people can make a living this way as far as I can tell.

Music is quite different however as it is a very hard to come up with a successful new musical idea it seems. Musicians are generally either incredibly successful or unknown. I don't think removing barriers (low cost recording, SoundCloud, etc) actually change the situation that much. We would likely have no fewer large and medium sized acts today if we still only had vinyl and radio. Perhaps art in general is naturally winner take all from a commercial standpoint.
I didn’t know that was possible, I’ll have a look at it :)
> The only drawback is that we have a hard time finding other developers in the company that want and have the time to learn the setup

This is my experience as well in enterprise cloud. I don't get it. Have these people seen what cloud jobs pay for less work?
I was put off by the low effort take as well.

Personally, I’ve worked through having this mindset myself. I “grew” up with the C and tots descendant family of languages. I wrote shellcode in C and ASM as an exploit dev. I later learned python and now ruby, arguably some of the most abstracted languages.

At each iteration I openly opined at how “C would let me do X without the handcuffs I put myself in by using Language Y”. It’s really just senseless complaining. There is a reason why someone chose Ruby over PHP. PHP over pascal, Pascal over Ada and so on. The point is, to scoff at the product as a bystander is just immature. Throwing shade on an entire industry based off some weird pet purist outlook is just immature :/.

Of course, the irony here is that this type of mindset is no different from the apprentice carpenter who scoffs at every new house he walks through that he didn’t build. It’s no different from the wine snob who cringes at what his mom puts out when company is over. It’s no different from the tens of submissions HN accumulated in a week with something of the tune “I rewrote X in Rust”.
Transaction costs in city development are very high and change takes forever. I doubt the "free market" (how free exactly?) would converge in reasonable time. I also find it plausible that the price of anarchy in city planning is very high. For example I doubt that the free market would ever build public transport.
Brightline is being built and it is a private railroad. The local highway authorities are attempting a shake down.

Perhaps policies should tie transportation, rezoning, and real estate to incentivize private construction of transportation infrastructure.

I’ve been cultivating this opinion that it’s the other way around. In any other domain, few people use crap tools to make something amazing, and I think it comes down to what you surround yourself with informs what you make.

We need better tools if we want better things.

> The burden is reversed in defamation cases, and the person claiming defamation would have to prove the person was lying, which would be impossible if the person actually committed the crime.

Yes and no. The burden of proof for both sides is lower in a civil case. You might well be able to ‘prove’ that you didn’t commit a crime if you had a good enough story and convinced the jury of it.
It is interesting how much everyone thinks these are the only two alternatives though. You can live an extremely fulfilling life out of the most boring Phoenix suburb, and you could (probably very easily) live a life with no meaning out of the most rustic cabin you can imagine.
I think the question really is about benefit/trade-offs of the work/costs that goes into the organic. Apart from of course outright fraudulent actors.

Case in point is Sri Lanka's current economic meltdown (1) - which is to a significant extent attributed to the government going all in on organic, banning fertilizers resulting in yields plummeting - less food to go around and no longer self sufficient, exports plumetting so less hard cash to buy oil, medicines no way to provide power, transport etc
