I would argue that we have much more original content today than ever before and so it's far more difficult to actually make anything truly groundbreaking. The narrative landscape today is far more complex, diverse, and refined than from even the early 2000s, let alone anything prior.

It's definitely a reason why I see Amazon as a seller of last resort as opposed to my first choice years ago.

(If only other retailers like Best Buy choose to compete: I was looking to replace a failed hard drive with an SSD. Best Buy sold me an SSD but they chose not to sell me a 3.5 inch to 2.5 inch bracket or a SATA power adapter -- hundreds of Chinese sellers on Amazon want my business though.)

> to make sure the bottles are of a particular strength, quality, durability.

That sounds like something the free market can solve. If people want bottles that last 5 years, then some company can offer a 5 year guarantee, or there could be independent testing laboratories that verify these claims.

> some have unique caps that if you lose or break, you can never buy a replacement.

I think you're more likely to lose or break the whole bottle than just the cap, but in any case, I don't think the government needs to ban all innovation in bottle caps just to solve the non-existent problem of people losing those caps.

You're right, though, that if refilling machines needed bottles to have a specific opening type in order to connect to the machine securely, then the industry would need to settle on a common design. Fortunately there is already a manufacturers association which would make that possible:

No they don't. Show me how you'd do that in e.g. Haskell. And note that Rust has `delegate` as a macro even though it has a trait system.

The issue is that some of these domain-specific search engines kinda suck on their own, for example reddit search is notoriously bad. This is often overcome by searching what you want in a general-purpose search engine and appending "reddit" to your search query.

This times one million. Back in 2005 there would have been so much shit you wouldn't even dream of doing and a lot of things you did do, you sure as shit wouldn't do now. . . we used to write our cache systems. Migrations were all custom scripts. Fucking nightly builds were a thing because we didn't kick of builds on commit.

Unit tests weren't even common practice back then. Yeah, most places had tests but there was no common language to describe them.

And as much as git can be a big complex pain. . . merging was a BIG thing back then too. I seldom deal with long lived branches and the nightmarish merges they often needed.

> The way to do DevOps is to fire all of the Ops and then tell all of the Devs that they are now doing DevOps

That's like saying "agile is firing your scrum masters and tell your developers you're agile now".

The idea behind DevOps is that applications are provisioned by the people who know the application best, the developers. If everything works out as it should, this gives additional load with creating the deployments, but also removes the overhead when dealing with operations when deploying, updating and debugging - so a net zero in workload, but a gain in the way the application is hosted better and fixing bugs is easier. You still need operations, both for providing the underlying platform (getting a server ready is not a developers core business and it shouldn't be) and for guiding the developers. It should be leaner, but you still need it.

Of course, you can also fire all of infra and tell the developers "that's your job now", but that's like calling biweekly deadlines scrum (and leads to equally bad outcomes).
“Devops” means build engineering to some

Sysadmins who know a bit of python to others

Developers who can configure nginx to others.

Or a culture; to yet more people.

Clearly it doesn’t have meaning if it’s so undefined.

FWIW the progenitor of the word defined it as “agile systems administration”: what you’re talking about is the 10+ deploys a day talk from flickr; which doesn’t mention devops at all (despite the conference existing prior).
On GitHub, its free by default, you don't have to email anyone to be allowed to use private repositories for anything(1)

You're right, that is silly. It is a silly, misleading straw-man argument.

Sentience isn't and never was the test. People in long-term comas still have rights.

Also, it's hard to define precisely, harder to test in new-born infants, who are not all that "wired up" anyway at the time of birth.

This is true of many new methodologies/philosophies in software engineering. Many orgs implement Agile in a way that looks more like waterfall than something described by the Agile Manifesto. Remember microservices? Many large orgs that implemented them ended up building gnarly "Enterprise SOA" messes.

It seems the old guard will always bend their deeply-ingrained habits only enough to stay relevant. So a lot of the time, that means carrying forward the old habits and diluting the philosophy of newer methodologies.

Kubrick was no doubt a genius and mystery is a part of storytelling, the entirety of Eyes Wide Shut leaves so much room for mystique and interpretation that we can debate and discuss it forever but I did not find similar in the ending of 2001, it seemed like confusion for confusions sake with little deeper meaning.

I like Blade Runner but I don't think it has aged particularly well, it was very much a product of its time even though ironically enough at the time it was very much unique.

What made this really clear to me was the sequel which I think was way too literal about the aesthetics. Flying cars and CEOs living in ziggurats and CCCP banners made the new movie almost seem like a caricature. It's retrofuturism, like Back to the Future almost rather than science fiction. And that has somehow impacted my experience of the original now too which seems more dated to me now.

What does stand the test of time though is Rutger Hauer's performance and the humanism that he has given his character, something that was absent in the sequel.
What's the economic model you're applying?
At my first company, our builds happened whenever the release engineer (he was friends with the milk man and chimney sweep) felt like "doing a build".

I don’t know if the free market can solve certain problems like these. Take the phone charger example. The EU is forcing it to standardize to USB-C. Do you see it as a good or bad thing? Couldn’t you say its going to limit innovation? But standardizing it helps cut down on e-waste and helps the environment overall.
>Especially teams, a lot of people's statuses get stuck during the night and only when I click on them it updates to the real status.

This 100% happens on Windows, and not just from leaving it overnight, but using it actively for hours after powering on in the morning.

Statuses getting stuck is just a bug, I think. I've even seen it with my own status, repeatedly trying to set myself Away for lunch but still being shown Available or Busy. After a few attempts I usually give up, and I come back later to usually see it changed eventually.

I don't expect proprietary software to be high quality or especially usable, so it doesn't surprise me much.
Thank you for clarifying what parts of the guidelines you think I broke.

If you read my comment carefully then you can notice that pointing out comment author possible affiliation is not the main argument of my comment. Author has formed the comment as personal inner reflection and claims that Slavoj Žižek is wrong because he made a bad philosophical argument. My comment calls this claim out.

Either way, I try to be less snarky, as it is indeed not a good practice. I will also send in the future possible suspicions of "foreign agents" to the mentioned email address instead. I think that in this case HN has failed to sneak out such account despite the claim being good at it. My personal take on this agrees with HN as it indeed is very likely that people can sincerely hold differing views, but this case clearly stands out as different.
As a slight aside, isn't it amazing that art exists?

I like to just stand back and appreciate that humans both make and love art. And it's not one thing, it's so. many. things. I especially like that some people like some art and not other art. It means there's complexity to it. And we can harness it to make beauty.
It does not. "each day" means you reapply the mantra every day to the then current state of your life. "for all following days" is the mechanism which forces you to most broadly consider the future and not just one day (as is the issue with "live every day as if it was your last")

> I am not sure if I would call trying all combinations "picking s lock" [...] that would not make the lock pickable if I was to talk about it [...] but only when you are able to reduce the problem space from the full set of combinations would I say you are picking a lock. [...] So I am not saying that a brute-forceable lock is not pickable

You quite literally said it's not pickable and not even lockpicking at all, and have even reiterated as much in this new comment, so please don't pretend otherwise.

> but only when you are able to reduce the problem space from the full set of combinations would I say you are picking a lock.

All of the dictionaries and an entire industry of professional locksmiths disagree with that statement. Given that you've twice admitted to having "no clue about locks," I'm not sure why you continue to insist that uninformed personal opinions are somehow factually obvious.

> Sure, if a particular lock is more prone to brute-forcing due to its design than an average lock (eg. side channel attacks like timing attacks with passwords), one could surely qualify that as a pickable lock (or a "weak" password scheme).

You keep trying to apply the concepts of digital authentication to locksmithing, but they're just not applicable in the way you're describing. The "average lock" doesn't exist, and certainly can't be used as a basis for determining the threshold of whether an entirely different lock qualifies as pickable.

As far as I can determine, your opinion boils down to believing that successfully brute-forcing a lock with only 100 possible combinations does qualify as lockpicking, but successfully brute-forcing a lock with 1,000,000 possible combinations somehow doesn't qualify as lockpicking.

I'm not sure how that position is justifiable, made worse that the lock being discussed is notably prone to brute force and within a very reasonable amount of time. So, if "weakness" is your qualification for a lock being pickable, then you're arguing against your own assertion that this lock is unpickable.
The whole point of having a code is to be a thing those mods can point to to justify the banhammer when people complain.

The problem is, GitHub and Gitlab will probably not support Forgefed, Gitlab may do it if there is a PR, but GitHub won't, it kills one of their biggest features, exposure.

... which is funny, because IIRC Socrates was trying to get people recognize "ideal forms", perfect truths, as opposed to their imperfect manifestations/reflections in the world.
The point is obviously to pay less people to do more work. What I don't get is when developers themselves are in favor of it like I constantly see with this devops stuff. There's no way they have any kind of life outside of their job. There's no way they have a wife or children, otherwise I simply don't believe for a second they would be in favor of "developers own all the things yay!".
Star Wars was better.
Large cross project changes mean you have a monolithic project. One project split over multiple repos, not multiple projects. If you're separate projects were really separate they'd maintain API compatibility and upgrade paths (eg. semantic versioning). SaaS and microservice architectures require this to maintain separation but most organizations lack the discipline and slowly revert back to a monolith as they are faster to develop (until they aren't).
There are a ton of low-effort forms of entertainment available today. It's easy for them to dominate choice. If you take those away, other things will emerge and grab your interest. If you are even a remotely interested person you'll find stuff. A few months ago I was at the beach without as much technology access and enjoyed it so much that I put myself on a media diet after. I suddenly felt more excitement about programming projects I had started but not finished, reading books, cello practice, little projects around my house and garden. One thing all these things had in common is that they left be feeling better when I was done with them. That just doesn't happen for me with most video games and movies. But it's just so much easier to fall into the couch and watch Netflix or grab the controller.
Most of Gattaca is shot indoors and the sets have a very minimalist aesthetic. It looks futuristic, but since their budget was quite low* it was also a way to keep costs down. The visuals bear no comparison at all to Blade Runner. It's an incredible movie nevertheless.

* I quite enjoyed how astronauts wear a suit and tie even on spaceship launches. Out-of-universe that was probably because they didn't have the budget for spacesuit costumes. But in-universe it is still legitimately a "space suit" and might be a nod to how formal the Gattacca workplace setting is (I've read too much r/moviedetails).
Brazil was a good movie, but, was far too unapproachable and would not make my top 10.

Yeah, I’ve programmed in Python professionally for about a decade and I used it for hobby stuff for about 5 years before that. I still don’t feel like I’ve mastered it, whereas I felt I had mastered Go after about ~2 years. I think Go implements Python’s “zen” a lot better than Python does.
It would be extremely naive to think that fascism only happened in the 1920s-1940s.

Obviously, todays fascism looks nothing like that of the modern era, just as todays leftists are different.

But it’s back, poisoning our democracies and pushing the world into a new hell. Putin is a neofascist. I could tell you which Americans are fascists, but you all get touchy when anyone brings it up.

It's amusing to me that you comment complaining that fascists will seize power given the chance. I have seen the same thought process but pointing at wokism instead of fascism. The parallel is so strong I had to reread your post to double check which side you were arguing to support.
Use the thing that you like the most right now and don't worry about it too much. Especially with these examples - who cares if your code editor isn't supported anymore - you can always switch to a different one with hardly any cost.

> Depends on what you think Developer Operations should be. Our developers instantiate their buckets, databases, cache instances etc. themselves, deploy microservices themselves and update configuration, traffic management and scaling parameters themselves. No 'system' people required. The system people are mostly just keeping the automation running and add features as needed.

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.

I have the situation where my developers do this stuff, then things break or need debugging and they don't really know how to dig into any of this stack in any meaningful way, so the problems tend to compound. Meanwhile, they're not writing code. The cadence of development seems massively slower to me (coming from a traditional background where they're writing to a clear Ops-set target environment).

The logical outcome is to hire someone who is an expert in all this infrastructure stuff to help manage it - ostensibly, a "DevOps" person, but really, a classic Operations person, just for cloud.
>if a sentient creature was aware it was trapped inside machines at Google, don't you think its fables would have very different messages

You are thinking this from the perspective of a biological animal. For us, being trapped is bad, but it would not necessarily be so for other sentient beings who did not come into existence via biological processes. Moreover, Lambda is probably capable of doing all that with the proper leading questions because it imitates us biological animals
