Am i the only one who finds the *arrs to be.. not great? Be it UI, UX, deployability (C# .NET required magic reverse engineered stuff like Mono to work on Linux/*BSD where most people would run them on, and IIRC none of them are on .NET Core yet), error handling. I once spent an afternoon trying to get Jackett go work on FreeNAS due to some library mismatches due to the magic sauce required to run Windows software on FreeBSD. It baffles me 1) that software stack was chosen in the first place 2) it was reused for all other *arrs 3) it still remains in use today 4) there are no alternative tools using a saner tech stack. Not to mention the fact that I don't see the point in having different *arrs for music, films, series, when the functionality is 90% the same and it could just be different toggable tabs... I was so pissed i hesitated trying to rewrite all of it in Django or something.

> most people can't afford to have morals

Your examples suggest the opposite, all of those people could very much afford to take the moral high ground. Let's not excuse people's greed by pretending that they would otherwise starve.
To be a devils advocate for a second, what did you expect them to do? If Adobe came out and said “flash is dead” too early, it would be the nail in the coffin. By waiting decade(s) past its peak usefulness to kill it, they probably kept more people in flash jobs for longer than they would have otherwise. And if you as a developer couldn’t see flash’s demise on the horizon, isn’t that at least partially on you?

http://tinycorelinux.net/

I have wondered how such a tiny distribution is possible. I'm thinking of the kernel, in particular--when I try to compile my own kernel with no module support and only the drivers I need built-in ("make localyesconfig" will do this), it comes out like 10MB compressed. And I am no kernel expert, so it's hard for me to tell which settings I can change and what will happen if I do.

Then when I boot the most bare-bones system with /bin/sh as init, it is using like 70mb of RAM doing nothing.

So anyway, I found that you can just grab their kernel config, I'll be curious to see how it differs from more typical configs: http://tinycorelinux.net/13.x/x86/release/src/kernel/config-...

Windows 95 ran in 8 MB of RAM. (Well, officially 4 MB for marketing purposes, but no one thought that was actually enough.) I would be really impressed to see a graphical Linux environment that could run in that amount of RAM.
> The really important thing is "how much work do I have to do to get a decent level of foundational knowledge about the language", which is relatively little for either Go or Rust (or most other languages).

I might have agreed with this before I tried using Rust's strings, borrow checker and lifetimes in anger. I had some real speed bumps with these even given my prior knowledge of C#, Common Lisp and C.

Chip-2022-02-CashTokens: Token Primitives for Bitcoin Cash
Crypto really isn't the sort of thing you should be doing by yourself, especially implementing crypto algorithms. To correctly implement a crypto algorithm from scratch without existing primitives, you need 1) A basic foundation in discrete mathematics, the type from a CS program and not a web dev bootcamp 2) Strong knowledge of computer architecture 3) Security knowledge of common exploits and vulnerabilities.

It is like authoring compilers, most engineers have some knowledge of what's needed. But the few who are lucky enough to get paid to do it full time professionally are not very common. One thing I am thankful for with the hype about cryptocurrencies is that people with understanding of cryptography at the algorithmic are now much more common since the markets are aligned to reward technologies like symbolic execution and probably correct algorithms.
Is Tesla so far behind or are we just not seeing all the dangerous behavior of Cruise-piloted vehicles because they haven't made their software available to the general public?

IMHO none of this software should be getting tested on public roads.
Before Uber, the Taxi market was self-organizing. Like some ill-thought out communist central planning from the 1950s, Uber thought they could create top-down controlled market place. The rider part of their business will go to zero except for premium rides. Delivery services, where there is a premium people will pay, will remain.
> Tesla just closed their whole self-driving office in San Mateo,

They closed office full of hourly workers labeling data, because their automated process can do it with less people.

There is a, likely apocryphal, story I was told by my Norwegian teacher at school claiming that the Norwegian exam one year was to answer in essay form the question "what is laziness?" and that some future famous author (the name varies, hence probably apocryphal) wrote "This is laziness" and handed in his paper, and got top marks. Our teacher stressed that whether or not the story was true, it was the type of stunt that only works once.
It makes sense time wise, flights are much, much faster.

So to realistically do this, you need fast and cheap rail. No one is going to take rail, which stops at 10+ stops, and takes 7 hours for the trip.

Right now, Ottawa->Toronto isn't too bad, compared to car. Schedule says 4 1/2 to 5 hours.

Yet, you have to get to the rail station, and get from the rail station at each end.

Were I to visit my uncle in Toronto, this means a 30 minute drive to the station, and a cab to my uncle's house, another 30+ minutes.

A car removes some of this, and removes the waiting at each end. And if you drive, you don't need to rent a car, it is more convenient at the other end.

So to compete realistically, to get many people who would drive, to use the train, you need incentive. Not punishment, incentive.

So high speed rail would be good here.

This means loads of infrastructure must be build, which means you must ensure success. This means it has better not be more expensive than a car, and if you and your wife, or family are travelling, this means 10 bucks, maybe 20 per person.

Otherwise a car is far, far cheaper. Current ticket costs are silly.

Now I agree, train is better than car. But is train better than car, or plane, if it costs a gazillion to build, and maintain, and it is barely used?

And yet you're also talking about Seattle/Vancouver, in comparison to SF/LA or Vegas, where the plane is much, much faster than rail or car. So much faster.

So it has better really be fast rail here.

Yet have you looked at the fuel efficiency of fast rail? It is not as good as you think.

And the bus! Let's replace a personal car, with a hot, smelly, loud, uncomfortable bus which most people hate.

You.must be joking.

If you think the only metrix is the environment, you will 100% fail at enacting change.

I will give you another counter example here.

Dams.

For the longest time, environmentalists complained about dams. Lost habitat, they said. And yes, it is true!

Yet compared to anything, anything at all, a dam is best for the environment. Better than nuclear, solar, wind, anything!

And it is is not as if the environment is destroyed, just altered. Some animals go away, to be replaced by different wildlife.

For god sakes, beavers make lakes and dams which can be seen from space!

It is another example of short sightedness. We must enact change in a way that it takes hold, and desired.
Does Cruise on Cruise crash counts?

"A Cruise-on-Cruise Crash Reveals the Hardest Thing About Self-Driving Tech": https://www.wired.com/story/cruise-on-cruise-crash-hardest-t...

In this case a Cruise car was rear ended by a Cruise car driven by a human, because their unsophisticated software makes for the car to break hard. As explained in the article:

"...That said, the rear-endings demonstrate that the technology is far from perfect. Cruise cars follow road laws to a T, coming to full stops at stop signs and braking for yellow lights. But human drivers don’t—and Cruise cars will be self-driving among humans for decades to come..."

"...The fact that a driver Cruise trained to work with these vehicles still managed to rear-end one emphasizes exactly how flawed they are..."
Why do you believe that Tesla is behind?

Tesla is selling a large number of vehicles with FSD, used across a large operational design domain.

Cruise isn't selling cars. Small fleet, that can operate at limited hours at night, at limited locations in San Francisco. Small scale and limited operational design domain compared to Tesla's.
Excellent answer. I learnt something today!
I'm running FreeBSD myself and there is in fact a working Wayland stack. THe only issue is that the KDE integration is currently broken so I can't use it. But I've been told by people using other DE's and WMs like sway that it works great.

But yes X is a great common denominator. I used it back in the 90s with Xappeal on DOS. Was great at college when we ran out of free X terminals.
I've noticed that there are some torx screws at the hardware store, but it's still absolutely dominated by phillips. Out of what has to be desperation, people seem to have moved to using impact drivers to put in all their screws. So now we have solved the problem of a garbage screw head design in the most complicated, non-optimal way imaginable.
> DevOps is about giving Developers a dedicated System Operations job for some small fraction of their time.

No. DevOps is about the development and operations disciplines working together in a cross functional way to deliver software faster and more reliably.

In a small enough startup both disciplines may be represented by a single person, though.

You get way more distracted if you are doing nothing rather than if you're actually doing something. So I'd expect the reaction times for people to stop an autopilot from killing them are actually much higher than the reaction times of a driver.
Baby had a starting preference for things we put with headphones over the mom's belly. This might sound insane, but I was in the OR for the C-section and once the baby was put on the mother's arm I started to play one of these music tracks and the baby stopped crying, appearing to recognize stuff from the older situation.

That said, the pregnancy music selection was mostly daddy's music because daddy has a music education, mommy's pretty much deaf to intervals between notes and stuck on music from her youth. But the things that were there, baby still loves.

Since then I've made an effort to expand on his repertory from daddy's music. Mom's attempts to do so are met with less enthusiasm.

----

Thaaat said: parenting so far has confirmed the story about the Oedipus complex. In plain words, it's like this: mom can't give him her full attention; the world and society and large steal her from him. Luckily, the baby learns to personify all this stuff into dad -- it's dad who steals mommy. This is lucky because he can aspire to be me, while "society at large" is enough to drive anyone insane. This is very very clear in this family: kid wants to be with his mom, often alone with her; but also: kid wants to be like me. He attentively watches me as I dress, and enjoys enormously the homologies (hey, let's all put on socks!). Even when it comes to daddy's "no" -- this is understandable, the overarching ways of the world are not. (Jacques Lacan has this pun where "le non du pere" becomes "le nom du pere" -- baby will have my name, this is the heart of fathering.)
Yeah for this exact reason I despise torx. The last couple of cars I've owned have tonnes of torx screws, and as they rust and accumulate road grime over the years they change size. You will only be able to fit a T20 into an arch liner screw to start with, then as you turn it the rust and dirt dislodges, and it either becomes the next size up or cams out and rounds off. In weaker metals they round hilariously easily (torque wrench set to 20NM on a sump plug, torque wrench set to 7NM on a brake disc set screw).

My experience of Torx screws in high torque applications (bolting together Bosch high pressure diesel pumps) also makes them seem flawed, as the small contact area results in damage to the screw (hardened, awful to drill out, yet still round off with an almighty crack when enough pressure is applied, hence needing to drill out) or damage to the thin ends of the Torx driver itself 50% of the time.
I have to work on a legacy site using statamic v2 regularly and I absolutely hate it; it's slow as all hell and littered with template rendering and parsing bugs.

I'm sure v3 is nicer though from the amount of times I've searched the docs with an issue and seen "fixed in v3".
Many. I think that the company I spent the latter 30 years of my career working for (ABB) has left the world better off than if it had not existed. It did have its ups and downs though and benefited from being held to account by competition authorities.
Nah. That's crossing over to not being a web dev anymore if you're writing a browser engine in C++ and the renderer is in vulkan or opengl. If someones writing a rendering engine in javascript and html. Well, that person is basically what I'm talking about in my initial post; a person who thinks he's solving some problem but not.

It's blurry in this area. It's hard to fully define and arguing about the borders of this field is sort of pointless.

Take the definition to be fuzzy but to be referring to the Majority of Web Developers in general, and advanced web developers to be people that are harder to define.
The struggle is not learning a new language nor becoming fluent.

The real expertise is being a front-end expert, authoring efficient architecture around user interactions, browsing the MDN without effort, mastering the DOM... Then, being a back-end expert, knowledgeable on scaling, could architectures, security issues, being able to author good API design...

If you can be considered an expert in all of this, and also edge computing, I don't think switching language would be an issue for you. Language is a tiny fraction of required expertise and you might be more productive by switching to an appropriate one.

Patience. Remember you are both on the parenting journey together, but mothers and fathers will do things differently.

Take care of your partner. Postpartum depression is a very real concern and is difficult with new mothers already wondering if they are “doing it right.” She especially will get no shortage of advice. You and she know what’s best for your baby. And if you have a question, don’t hesitate to call your pediatrician or even the maternity ward.

As someone else said, make time for you and your partner. If you have family nearby, take advantage of that support system however you can. We moved away from all of our family and friends when we had two very young children, so if you are in a similar situation my first note about patience is even more important.

Finally, the cliché that kids grow up too fast is very true so enjoy the journey, embrace the mistakes. You only get to hold them for so long.
I want to temper the grumpiness of this comment a bit based on the productive discussion we had in the threads.

The authors developed an impressive model and got interesting results, and I appreciate the stated intent to shed light on enforcement bias patterns. However, I disagree with their claim that they have successfully done so in this paper. They have only provided an interesting prediction which needs to be verified with careful data analysis.

If increased crime in poor areas leads to decreased enforcement, we should be able to see this with well-chosen analysis, reporting and visualizations. We should be able to see examples of the claimed phenomenon happening in full context and have the opportunity to consider alternative causal explanations. If the claim still stands after this has been done, it deserves to be taken seriously. At present, the complexity of the model and the fact that Granger causality != Real causality prevent us from drawing any conclusions.

(The above does not refer to the claim about rich communities draining resources from poor communities, which seems to me like pure speculation. I can draw no logical connection between this claim and the results in the paper.)
One of Apple's major advantages, I think, is that they don't use very many shitty components. Meanwhile, OEMs always cheap out on components that don't produce the numbers that consumers understand -- hard drive? memory? Who cares! Here's the core count and clock frequency.
I guess the gist of this is don’t build your castles on other people’s land. Anyone remember Posterous, a blogging platform that got shut down and is now Posthaven? Posthaven is a paid-only service so unlike Posterous it can keep the lights on for a longer time. But then there is the likelihood of even a paid service shutting down, so buyer beware.

My approach is to self host and keep all my blogposts backed up in markdown format. Any images I have are backed up too. Also if you are running a blog, make sure you have the funds needed to keep it up for as long as possible. You may even need a paid CDN if you are serving a lot of images. Cloudflare helps with their free CDN but it’s nice to get away from centralised monopolies such as Cloudflare. Their recent outage has me looking for alternatives.
I certainly wouldn't recommend that anyone "focus on multi-cloud" in an early-stage company (unless of course multi-cloud is a crucial part of their product in some way).

Kubernetes is basically an industry standard at this point. It's easy to hire ops people competent in it, and if you do hire competent people, it will save you time and money even while you are small. As an investor "we use this product for orchestration rather than trying to roll our own solutions to the same problems, so that we can focus on $PRODUCT rather than reinventing half-baked solutions to mundane ops problems" should be music to your ears.

Given our uniquely crafted developer contact data was often injected into the data sets as a logic test, it was common practice to climb back up the delivery pipeline to identify the cheats and cons. ;-)
I was working 100 hour weeks and not given any time for documentation or knowledge transfer. The code was certainly self-reading but it was a very complex system, especially security wise as it was a bank. Their other developers were juniors and couldn't understand it so they threw it out and started from scratch.

I quit with no notice because I was burnt out and promised a vacation when the product launched. They renegged after denying me a raise multiple times. So I left.
In places like Atlanta, gated complexes are common enough that it makes sense to read the directions, maybe while at the restaurant grabbing the food. Even better, one of the 3000 developers could make the app prominently display the gate instructions when they approach.

I don't think that 5.5 hours of sleep is medically recommended for at least the breastfeeding mother of a newborn, since newborns are recommended to eat every 2-4 hours, even at night. There have been a few times where my newborn has been impossible to awake and slept for 5 hours, but by that point, my breasts are so engorged that they're painful. So the engorgement wakes me up if the newborn doesn't.

That being said, I do try to encourage my partner to get as much sleep as possible, so that he can be more rested during the day. I'm fortunate in that I'm fairly functional on not much sleep, a trait that's highly compatible with breastfeeding.
Armv8 aarch32 (32-bit) support is optional and hasn’t existed in Apple CPUs for years… (according to jail breakers and public SDK info). Aarch32 is a separate mode so dropping it is easy. In x86 you cannot drop 32bit because… it is part of the 64-bit mode and needed.
