I also think it would be nice if Google prominently stated which cloud regions are hosted in their real datacenters and which are in third party facilities. It's not just that you run the risk of some off-brand piece of junk overheating, but also because they so loudly trumpet their PUE and carbon neutrality, but then resell cloud capacity in other people's facilities where you have no idea what the carbon impact is.
The problem isn't that Conan exists, but that other competing solutions are just as popular which results in fragmentation (for instance vcpkg, and cmake can also directly pull in external dependencies now). In the Rust world there's just Cargo.

We actually had a car chase in Helsinki just a couple of days ago when the cops spotted a stolen BMW, tried to stop it and the driver fled. I'm not sure if the part about them not chasing after stolen cars is that accurate. And the fact that cop cars have automatic license plate readers make driving a stolen car that much harder.

I've gotten a ton of captchas when using Brave. One time I was trying to create an account and I just got an unending stream of them. I literally gave up after 15 or so.

Is nobody using log tables? Pretty much every time I touch something in my db, there's a log call that records who did it, when, IP, URL and a (JSON) snapshot of the changed record, which in a pinch can be used for undelete.

It's surprisingly manageable. I mean, yes, it's definitely the largest table in the db, but:

1. it's well worth it

2. most of the stuff in it isn't the main scenario above (a human does something and I record the change) but various automated processes I also want to track, like API calls. which leads to:

3. it's easy to prune - both in time period kept, and by selectively deleting the automated stuff earlier

But it mostly helps by localizing things. It's just one meta-data log table, and everything related to logging actions is there. Not very elegant to keep adding fluff fields to every table, like "add_date" or "deleted_at". When I decided I want to also track the URL of the request I had to change things in just one place, and now I have it for every action everywhere.

Note: don't fall into the "everything is a nail" mistake. Some other dedicated log tables may be necessary, for high-volume or distinct stuff. I also have a mail_log, a sms_log and a separate table for events coming from mobile users (like location history).
There are countless startups with similarly intense work environments but where the startup fails in the end. In that situation, the story here would sound straight up depressing.

If you live in a city like Seattle, Vancouver or San Francisco and get around the urban core a lot as a pedestrian, you quickly learn to recognize what a crack, meth, heroin addict looks like. Is this a serious question?
Another issue is the police can only ever tackle the very leading edge of the problem due to the scope of their jurisdiction. Realistically the trafficking of stolen bikes, bike parts, cars, car parts, etc, takes place over city lines, county lines, state lines, probably also national lines. Good luck ever making a dent on organized crime if a key piece of that operation takes place within a jurisdiction staffed in the low dozens (quite often the case in fact with cartel drug labs and illegal grow operations in rural California). You really need the FBI, but their hands are full just indicting local government officials in my city for corruption, let alone going after the bike thieves.

That being said there is a lot to be done at that leading edge, especially when its not uncommon to see someone with a dozen bikes in varying states of disrepare piled amongst the detritus outside their dwelling. It seems like that should be considered probable cause to me and worthy of more investigation vs just letting that continue unhindered. There is some line between the cops I was familiar with in the midwest (who would search your vehicle and throw everything on the side of the road on the grounds of smelling of pot if they just didn't like the look of you), and the ones here in california who are more concerned with catching snorelaxes (1) than enforcing the law.

Most of the tools you mention work below the language level, and thus work automatically for non-C/C++ languages too (or at least LLVM-based languages).
Plenty of people want to work in the US. It's just that the US keeps deporting people that so desperately want to work there. Some of these people literally risk their own and their family's life to get to the US. With unemployment levels historically low, there are simply not a lot of locals looking for work for every job position to be filled. And certainly not when the wages are too low, the work is hard, and employers are exploiting them and generally treating them like trash.

The rational thing to do, which goes against the xenophobic tendencies of the general public (they are taking our jobs), is to do what every growing economy has to do: grow the labor market by providing access to willing labor from outside that market. Whether it's slaves, illegal immigrants, or simply making it easier for migrants to enter legally really does not matter as long as people are able to get to the jobs that need doing.

There's work to be done and there are people willing to do the work. Bring them together and the work gets done. Cut off the labor supply and you get issues with businesses struggling to get things done. Unless of course they can afford to pay market rates. And with inflation being a thing, those market rates are going up, not down.

The US has imported lots of cheap labor from abroad pretty much throughout it's history and especially during its boom periods. Sometimes as slaves, sometimes as refugees, and sometimes just by providing visas to those who wanted them. It wasn't always pretty of course but there are now large communities of people in the US with roots pretty much all over the world.

There's no shortage of people looking to get visas to work in the US. Just an artificial shortage of visas. How many million people do you need? They are there. At any skill level. All you need to do is let them in.

Unlike a residential house that is hard to model accurately, I'm guessing 99% of the heat load of a DC comes from the servers inside it. So you can create a really good model of how much cooling you will need.

No idea, but perhaps they sized the AC for 39 degrees so they wouldn't spend money on condensers that they figured would never be used.

Or maybe the HVAC was sized for this load but has never been stress tested this hard before and running full throttle for so long produced unexpected failures.

Rich people aren't automatically immune to exploitation. It's more a finely tuned web of pressures than a strict hierarchy. I'm also aware of differences in genetics and diet and other behavior that predispose people to depression.

I'm not rooting for Marxism exactly. I think it is an extreme overcorrection, but that some correction has been and is still warranted at times, given regulatory capture and other abuses that come from concentration of power. Anti-trust action and semi-effective democracy/representation are needed.

I think we are in a society with solutions to almost every problem except for those that require cooperation on the scale we exist at, which is unprecedented.

I sympathise with the idea of mindless hard labor being more fulfilling. Working food service in the backroom as a teenager worked my body but left me less stressed mentally than anything I've done post-graduation.
That's not how carbon impact works. You don't buy "clean" products. You buy products from vendors who have an overall average mix of production that meats a "clean" threshold, and/or buys credits from someone else who exceeds threshold.
I don't agree that the big companies would be deterred by that.

The CEO's of those huge companies aren't likely to be even interested in legal matters unless it's the DOJ calling about anti monopoly practices - that's what they pay their legal counsel for.

I don't think they'd give the slightest rats about fighting out the content ownership issues, especially since YouTube has already shown that it can be done.

Why "little hope of success"? No-one at that level has even tried.

It's completely different from trying to take on facebook, in which you need to build the network before the whole thing works. With user created content they can start at any size.

I know your link says you don't want to do `gc --aggressive --prune all`, but for anyone who does: a) That still leaves objects referenced by the reflog, so you may want to `reflog expire --expire=now --all` first if your reflog is full of rebases etc that you don't need, and b) you may want to run gc twice because the second time compacts a tiny bit more than the first.
Sure it does. It's strange to argue that it wouldn't. Kaczynski is a madman, and perhaps the only person in the history of the United States whose quality of life was drastically improved by incarceration in a Supermax prison.

Work in France is importantly a vector for socialization. This seemed to be a foreign consideration to a lot of Americans from what I've witnessed. It's so easy to get fired in the US that considering coworkers are more than acquaintances -- trying to make friends -- is a "bad investment."

Most French people would also rather say that work is "chiant" (boring) rather than bad.

Judging from its look and feel, Band-in-a-Box is around since the 90s.

Lol, they've been saying that since 3dfx and VRML and three decades later, still nobody cares. It's just marketing hogwash from desperate executives. Why would it be earth shattering? It's just games. Faster computers. Incremental graphics. Yay? It's nothing revolutionary.
> The free market never works for very long before hoarders take most of it.

I'm not sure you understand how a labor market works. There may be (and often are) local/temporary inefficiencies, but if "hoarders" are taking most of it, then why are there so many unfilled jobs across the country – including high-paying jobs?

Similarly, if employers aren't compensating employees fairly (which may be the case while the market adjusts to inflation + recession), they can only do that for so long before the market effectively forces them to pay/treat employees more favorably (no government intervention necessary).
There was certainly a past where there were fewer open addicts on the streets. To be fair drug addicts have been around in cities for hundreds of years, but they've always been cracked down upon and generally not in any great numbers. Versus today, where I kid you not I see kids who can't be older than 16 smoking meth about twice a week in the train station on my way to work. Of course there is a crisis of bike theft in this country. There is also a crisis of catalytic converter theft and theft of just about anything carryable with scrap value, because all of this theft is going on to afford the crisis of drug addiction we continue to evidently just pretend does not exist in this country versus face head on with public treatment programs and institutionalization.
Yup. Convenience is hard to beat.
Do you have any… evidence for this crisis? Or can we just add your quote to the twitter thread?
This is a great question, but I'd answer that paying _some_ attention is better than paying _no_ attention at all. Some people study and train for years and reportedly they achieve full happiness, but certainly that is not my case and, to be honest, it's hard. ymmv.

When I upgraded from an Amstrad CPC to an Amiga in 1989, I gained access to a higher level of abstration, like you said. Unlike the Amstrad, the Amiga had a GUI and a proper command line.

But unlike the information kiosk-esque devices of today, my Amiga let me navigate its layers of abstraction as I saw fit. These layers represented another dimension of usability. They were meant to be used and navigated.

Today we commonly think of a new layer of abstraction as if it "saves us" from the scary stuff underneath. We pave over what's underneath and pretend we are still standing on the ground. (Web interfaces are a good example. If I want to make a custom web widget I have to make it using form elements. If I am making a new widget in a desktop GUI, I make it using the same drawing and event primitives that the built-in widgets use. My new widget then sits at the same level of abstraction as the built-in widgets, and the overall system is preserved.)

Even modern desktops suck in this regard. Navigating the layers of abstraction is like being an archaeologist uncovering scenes of historical catastrophe in the folded and shattered strata of our systems.
It's very funny to describe SSRIs or SNRIs essentially as "happy pills". They are very unpleasant drugs to take, especially in the first month or so when starting to use them, and no one would be using them if they didn't feel there is a serious problem in their lives.

Not to mention, depression takes several forms, and not all of them are related to unhappiness. A common form is related to anxiety, with people experiencing a constant feeling that something awful is about to happen, sometimes getting terrible panic attacks. Given that many of these people live in objectively and subjectively extremely safe environments, much safer than at any other time in history, it's very hard to take seriously any environmental theory of this kind.

Edit: corrected one bad auto-correct typo ("problem", not "purulente") .
The other side of this is that the low-pay employers complaining about this are also just flat out lying. Apply to the jobs they post, and it'll turn out it's not full-time at minimum wage - it's "10 hours a week, scheduled whenever I want" at minimum wage.

Nobody wants to work that job, because that job doesn't pay enough to live off, and having your hours randomly moved around (i.e. the well known phenomenon of employer retaliation by not giving someone any hours in a week but not firing them) screws with your ability to pick up any other work, or look after children or anything else.

This is before we even get to the disparity between rent, cost of living and minimum wage in most (possibly by now all?) areas in the US.
30 years ago people would have said yes perhaps (American dream), but now it has become apparent the US is a very broken country for ~90% of its population. It's actually shocking how bad it is when you think about fundamentals (health, food, security, education). We have many problems in France, they look like micro problems when looking at how painful it is for most to survive in the US.
Being on call sucks
Party dynamics in the US evolves a lot. GOP is nothing like what it was 10 years ago, and nothing like it was during the 1990's. Democrats used to be the 'Party of the South' etc.. SCOTUS confirmation has changed.

Also, it's really not quite appropriate to say conservatives are even 'conservation', even if that were true, it doesn't make the posture inherently unfair etc..

Finally, you say 'both sides' - there are not '2 sides' that's a myth. The GOP is utterly divided between Trumpers and non, and the Left is divided between the Woke and Classical socialists. A lot of people in private have ideas across the spectrum.
Surely inflation will not help. that said, before the post-war boomtimes people didn't have an option to "not work". Maybe families could put up with the ne'erdowell, but not society.
"It is really hard to lose stuff"

It is really hard to lose stuff that you have ever committed. It is really hard to lose stuff as long as you commit early and often. Uncommitted work is pretty easy to lose with 'git reset'.
