I get where you're coming from, and I should have clarified in my original comment.

> If you ask an expert open ended questions, you are creating a lot of work for them.

True, but my questions were pretty direct, and black and white.

> But if you take a stab and ask for feedback, that’s much easier.

That's true in that it's showing that I'm attempting to solve a problem, etc. However, for the scenario with this team, the work involved in answering was the same before and after. These weren't open ended issues.

The questions were typically "Should I do A or B?" Eventually, with no response, I'd announce "I'm going with C" where C is clearly wrong. I always then got emails telling me which of A or B was correct.

Oh, and I didn't ask for feedback. I learned that would not elicit a response. Just a straight up "FYI, this is the plan and I've begun execution." That led to urgency in responding.

No one could complain they didn't have a heads up as I often had weeks of unanswered queries to refer them to.

As I said: Crappy thing to have to do, but this was one team where more reasonable approaches just weren't working.
Batteries will not be used in energy transport.

Transmission lines will be favored for up to 2000 km, ships full of liquified ammonia much beyond that. Far northern cities without reliable transmission lines will get regular ammonia shipments from solar farms in the tropics, just as they get LNG today.
Only the right to birth is specified in the constitution. Clean air, livable temperature, conserved sea levels, etc. are not protected by the constitution, is not in our country's history and traditions, etc....
You see, it's not that ESM killed JavaScript, all the hacky build tools did. ESM was in the pipeline for an eternity and everyone took their sweet time to support it.

You can use ESM without issue in browsers, Node and using proper ESM bundlers like Rollup, as long as you don't expect `import 'a/b'` to arbitrarily load `./node_modules/a/b.js` or `./node_modules/a/b/index.js`

npm also keeps actively harming the community by not validating packages in any ways whatsoever, so everyone keeps pushing broken crap into the ecosystem.

The python packaging story is a huge wart on an otherwise stellar language. I do wish poetry (or pipenv) would be blessed as the way, or they'd accept PEP-582. However, as an observer, they're trying super hard to be totally BC and it's just prolonging the pain, especially as you compare python against other interpreted languages like node or PHP.
Yeah, it's really hard to believe that... compute power is the limiting factor on audio? In 2022? On a $1k piece of hardware? Over Bluetooth, in both cases?
As much as I appreciate all the components that Gitlab utilizes behind the scenes running an instance of this on a 4GB droplet consumes the entire memory of that unit until things come to a crawl.

Does Gitlab actually need to utilize all those components and when I disable certain things like Prometheus and etc. it seems to only marginally make things better.

What is consumes so much RAM and why?
> Ah, but you missed the word "famous."

Umm ... when I browse Google Tech Talks, there are lots of famous people there. It still wouldn't make sense asking them this question.

Yes, developer experience.
A computer is a networked filing system. Mine has a lot of photos, videos, various programs I've written or downloaded, all splayed across a file system.

Instead of having a suitcase full of photos, or boxes of slides like my parents, I have a folder D:\source with all of my photos/videos.... 700 Gigabytes worth, taken starting in 1997 to present.

As for how to live with them. My main takeaway is that we should OWN our computers, and everything in them. They are our tools, not something rented from Microsoft, Apple, etc. The same is true of our phones, tablets, etc.

Everything we read, listen to, watch, etc. should be stored somewhere for a while, locally, so if we want to share it, we can do so, without having to get permission, or trust the source to be there again at some later date.

Our computer should be safe... we should be able to run anything, without fear of losing it all... in a manner much like plugging in a new appliance to an outlet. The modern situation where doing so is effectively a game of Russian Roulette is completely unacceptable.

Over time, I think there will be secure systems built, as we collectively realize the folly of using the Unix security model in a world of Ghz processors, persistent internet, and nation states with a grudge.

Well, now you're just confusing positive and negative rights. The curtailment of agency that we have a long history of is to enforce negative rights (I.e you do not have the right to kill someone) or to protect you from yourself if there is strong evidence you are not of sound mind (i.e. inpatient psychiatric care and that is really a negative right as well because we are stopping the crazy person in front of us from harming the potentially sane person underneath that has been overcome by crazy). Your examples are all of the form this person has X problem therefore I can be compelled to do Y, which is pretty clearly not allowed when you read the constitution.

In the case of an abortion the right to autonomy clashes with the right to not be murdered. And that is what has had a significant portion of the population so up in arms that they spent fifty years trying to get a supreme court that would overturn Roe because they correctly think that point is before birth. How much before birth is what needs to go through the sometimes ugly but often cathartic democratic process at the state level.

No idea, but it doesn’t surprise me that a dedicated audio player could theoretically do a lot better. Just as one would generally expect a DSLR to beat the iPhone for picture quality.

Scaling up batteries to grid scale is very far from "impossible". You just need a hell of a lot of batteries, so it is expensive. Other, cheaper systems will be favored.

Systems and procedures for LNG can probably be adapted for LH2 with not too much difficulty, but ammonia will be the more practical choice, most places.

Condo home owners association control the fees. They go to insurance, money to replace common owned properly like the roof, exterior walls, paint, parking, landscape etc. You can go get elected and convince the board to not invest in these things and lower the fees. You can also vote to increase it to pay for things like to add solar.

Probably over a decade ago my wife bought me a Sony Walkman MP3 player for Christmas, and even though I ended up going with something that was Audible.com friendly, I was so impressed with the earbuds' quality I've sourced them a couple of times so I have a lifetime supply at this point.

While I can't speak to either the iPhone or the Walkman, the quality of the digital-to-analog converter is significantly more important than raw horsepower or other capabilities. Where they're analog devices, there's much less to be said about the "it's just zeroes and ones" argument.

Some older devices I've owned had good-quality DACs - a Palm Treo being the best. My current ThinkPad has a downright awful DAC, to the point where music sounds _better_ over my Bluetooth headphones (Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT) than when plugged straight in. The quality issues are even more egregious for the cheap dock I use for my work MacBook Pro, which puts out so much electrical noise over the headphone jack as to be annoying even in in Zoom calls.

> I can only guess, PWAs are like the hidden nugget of gold that devs poop on because it doesn't fit their preferred tools or experience or something.

PWAs also fit in a niche that is difficult for most organizations to digest. It's fundamentally front end tech, but service workers are non-trivial and also are decidedly outside of the typical front end dev's experience. They resemble backend, but the life cycle is somewhat complex and difficult.

Out of the box frameworks can provide basic service workers, but that doesn't make a PWA really shine.

It's a powerful but unusual tool that's slotted into a strange place. They are rarely used even though they can significantly improve user experience without going full PWA.

Been working in back end and front end for years. The number of front end devs I've met in the wild who understand service workers, their use cases, and how to build one, I can count on one hand.
NAIA (in the Philippines) is like that. Terrible design and layout. None of the four terminals are connected to each other, which means if you arrive internationally and are transferring to a domestic flight, you have to either get a shuttle bus or a taxi, the latter of which are notoriously scammy.
My brother just went through Schiphol two weeks ago. Scheduled his connecting flight with a five hour layover just to be sure. Took him 5 hours and 20 minutes to make it through security.
If you think the web's developer experience is bad then you are doing things very wrong. In a few days I can go from nothing to a usable website that looks good, works on almost every device that's not super old, works without me having to pay Apple $99 a year, allows me to interactively make changes to the styles that are immediately reflected with no reload, and doesn't need a build step.
so you're telling me there's CSAM on IPFS that feds "can't" take down? Somehow I doubt that.

>Your examples are all of the form this person has X problem therefore I can be compelled to do Y, which is pretty clearly not allowed when you read the constitution.

Right. This (non)person (an embryo/fetus) has the problem that it cannot exist outside the womb for at least six months, therefore a woman can be compelled to literally give up her flesh and body for nine months -- against her will?

So. By your logic, if a person will die without your help, even if you don't know/like/want them around and you don't help them, you're a murderer.

That's what you seem to be claiming.

Does it sound absurd? It should, because it is. And that's what you're advocating.

Professionally I am a Common Lisp programmer and I have updated My Loving Common Lisp... book many times.

I think that Apple has done a very good job with the Swift + SwiftUI + Core ML ecosystem. Probably not to many people's taste, but I really like bottom up programming, starting with experiments in a REPL, and then creating little libraries, etc. Swift support this and on any M1 or M2 laptop of iPad Pro, compilation is really fast. I think that Apple could improve the Swift Playgrounds experience on iPad Pros, but I like what they have done so far.

What are the things you dabbled in? There could be opportunity there if you do it in new ways?

My favorite way is to find people with passions. Ask them about what their passion is! Try it, with them if possible. If you like it, you immediately have someone to share that passion with. Not only that, but they can mentor you in it, say what worked for them, where to start, etc.

I got a Fiio M7 for Christmas or my birthday a year ago. It's amazing how awesome it is to have a device that's dedicated to music and does a great job at it. There are side loadable apps like Musicolet that also do a great job of providing all the music management you could want.
> why is spotify et al bad

Because Spotify et al doesn't give you a big directory full of MP3s. On top of that, the physical interface and features of a small dedicated player is a better user experience.
Indeed, we're nowhere near the scale of Uber. We have a few thousand users supported by 7 developers, 2 ops people (one is me) and 7 in customer support who provide 24/7 support with an on-call rotation. If we increased our users by an order of magnitude or two, I doubt we'd need to increase headcount by anything near that much. I'm told really effective companies like Netflix are quite skilled at leveraging technology to scale out their platforms with very agile (read small) teams. I don't think we're anywhere near on par with Netflix, but we can read their engineering blog ;)

My previous role in the big company was actually post-sales customer support so I'm actually pretty familiar with those functions and somewhat aware of all the coordination and power politics that come with increasing numbers of people - there's a reason I'm trying something pretty different these days. And so far, I have to say I'm happier with the surroundings.
It’s…fiction. Made up. Not real. No actual science involved, just grammar.
My version of this is "test in production".

I did that when I was in my early 20s, got taught to use dedicated TST and UAT environments by more experienced engineers, and now in my 40s I'm telling everyone who's willing to listen that isolated testing is nearly worthless.

The amount of issues I can uncover by using telemetry from production is just insane. Any half-way decent APM will have a dashboard view that summarises errors by how often they occur, which is an automatic priority list.

Some teams I tell this to just blink at me slowly and say they only do testing in UAT, and that after "sign off" they don't see any further need for monitoring. It's signed off, you see! Done. Finished. Released. End. Of. Story.
Batteries are the most expensive storage alternative.

https://medium.com/@14domino/using-nats-to-build-a-very-func...

no database, just have the user's websocket reach a simple websocket server which always sends on requests to a fuller API server which can speak back to the NATS server who triggers a push to the user since the websocket server is coupled to NATS. This gives horizontal scale to API servers (if they ignore users/work not for them) and websocket servers.
I self-hosted a gitlab instance for a while on a local VM with 4GB of RAM and it (being the VM) would crash randomly because the OOM-killer killed too many important processes.

> This writer, previously an avid Uber Eats user, now avoids it in almost all cases and instead, orders directly from restaurants, which have mostly built an online ordering systems. Going direct means your food isn’t ruined

I don't know if this is confirmation bias, or just a lie to add weight to the thesis, but it's obviously absurd, as anyone who has ever worked for, or even ordered directly from a local restaurant knows.

Your local pizzeria does not have the driver go back to the restaurant for every order and deliver it directly to you. They certainly don't have a fleet of people ready to pickup your order. They pickup every order that's available, it's completely unoptimized in every way, and you get your order on the luck of the draw. Maybe the driver had no other orders, and is a block away from you. Or maybe your fifth in line.

The key difference is they don't have an app that records every step in the process, the precise times involved, and show you the delivery driver's location on a map.

Hard to even keep reading after this.

The pre-Android Sony Walkmans (like the NW-A55 mentioned above) have decent battery life. I typically get around 30 hours from my SONY NW-A45. In a world where many modern “audiophile” players only get 8-10 hours of playback, that’s not bad.

However, they really are terrible for podcasts and audiobooks. There aren’t any real bookmarking features to speak of. For that, I use a Rockbox-compatible player (my preference is for a refurbished old HDD-based iPod with a new battery and SD card storage).

Blue hydrogen is a mythical beast, H2 made from NG and the carbon captured, somehow. It is not actually produced, but poisons discussion.
