I feel like you misunderstood me. I wasn't arguing about the definition of a "DevOps engineer". Since the author didn't give one, I went by the charity principle and used a definition that would make their argument stronger (a DevOps engineer that really is just an operations engineer). But even with that definition, having an operations engineer on a team does not preclude it from practicing DevOps and is arguably in line with the DevOps practice of increasing collaboration between dev and ops.

YouTube’s making it easier for creators to turn longer content into Shorts
I liked this article and agree with the point - when it comes to innovation, new products, and new markets, instinct and experience could probably help more than data.

Using data for decision making is more relevant for more mature processes where the data exists to learn from. Being data driven is especially important for data intensive sectors where the complexity of issues cannot be fathomed just by being brilliant, it's here you need to be able to analyse the intricacies using the data to find possible answers.

I just published a blog in response to this article explaining my thoughts on it -

It implies that the "burden" of an ageing population is capped, i.e. the rate of the increase in the elderly proportion of the population will slow down from about 2030.

In fact it already seems to be occurring, with several countries reporting that they are no longer seeing gains in live expectancy, for example "The big slowdown: 6 reasons why UK life expectancy growth is stalling"

Buddha did have hacker mentality: this is what has been clear in my reading of Buddha and his teachings.

He wad given the name Ehipassiko meaning he told everyone to forgo blind faith in anything- also to his own teachings. Listeners were supposed to try things for themselves and verify by themselves.

And many people now like to sound hip by saying the corporate meditation and spirituality practices (by the likes of Jobs) are not real Buddhism. Do not listen to them and steer away from Buddhist religion. Corporate meditation, american retreats are more close to the Buddha's teachings than the incense burning and bowing to statues in SE Asia.

Study of Nyaya-Vaisheshika and Nagarjuna could be beneficial, but these require more background.

I have a degree in Economics. Not from America. I still remember my Macro Economics Prof drily declaring that all that we were going to study will not apply to America but good for the rest of the world.

Despite that(or because of that), my final year paper was an ode to Milton Friedman. I got my degree and when I came to America only to realize that my old Ma.Ec Prof was right. Time to burn the degree. My education is useless. It’s now official.

You might want to look into intersectionality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality

> Intersectionality opposes analytical systems that treat each axis of oppression in isolation.

Edit: I am not saying that explains all the complexity, and there has been a lot of criticism, justified or not. However, it is at least a good starting point.
My phone is always on silent mode, and dnd over night (ops team has standing instructions to always phone any on-call person twice successfully before going to next person). No audio notifications at all, but vibrate is on for phone calls during the day (important work calls, family emergencies etc of course still need to reach me)

No notifications on desktop, ever <shudder>.

Google hangouts and ams messenger can show me pull down "notifications" (message preview) on the phone.

That's not to say I'm inaccessible - I have not missed a call or important message yet. But app notifications have negative use value for me.
>> ...no calls...

You must not have kids / spouse then. You can get a call from school / daycare any time that your kid is sick or hurt and needs to be picked up immediately. Or your spouse can call you that their car broke down and (s)he needs help. I want to be notified immediately of such situations.
Eventually we will have invented mainframes with X thin clients.
> I wonder how anyone ever thought notifications were a good idea?

It is a good idea if one assumes notifications is a high signal/noise ratio communications channel where only important stuff gets sent.

Of course, what happened is advertisers discovered this new exciting opportunity to spam people with their offers and drive up "engagement" so now notifications are actively hostile to users to the point they're better off disabled. Just like phone calls: there's no point in picking up the phone when 99% of all calls are automated advertiser calls.
Not the OP, but I think there's something in what they're saying. Technically, you can get close to the embedding that the Claris apps used to support with Word/Excel (although there's no separate vector/bitmap tools with the same integration). You even get something akin to System 7's Publish+Subscribe with Office.

At the same time, it feels a lot more fragile now, because the support is coming from Microsoft, it's not as baked into the platform as it was. The OG Mac did a lot of work to support a document paradigm – with features like aliases, stationary pads, publish+subscribe, solid drag+drop and clipboard, spatial Finder, etc. Even where these persist in OS X they're shadows of their past selves.

By the time you get to iOS the document paradigm is entirely gone, and you're dealing with app siloes which are ridiculously hard to bridge across. The web, even Google Docs, is similarly focused on the tool, not the output.

I'm not sure which paradigm is "better", to be honest. If you take the original document paradigm to its conclusion you end up with OpenDoc, which even if you make allowances for attempting it on underpowered 90s platforms, was probably the wrong direction. But the app paradigm makes composable workflows like OP describes in a sibling comment very difficult or impossible to achieve.
The rouble is soaring and Putin is stronger than ever – sanctions have backfired
Yes, I would much rather be a rich woman than a poor man. But I'd rather be a poor man than a poor woman. I'd rather be a poor white man than a poor black man. I'd rather be a poor black man than a poor black woman.

I don't think it helps to have a contest about which forms of discrimination are more impactful, because they all add up.

Gender, race, social class, within which nation's borders one is born... they all add up, and it gets worse if you "lose" in more than one category.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality

But there are cases when the comparison should be made, and I hint at it in my first sentence. We do spend more effort on gender equality than racial equality because, frankly, white women have more power and value in our society than black men or women. For example the #MeToo movement was triggered and driven by the injustices done to powerful, privileged white women.

Sadly, social justice is driven too often by self-serving interests rather than social justice itself.
I 100% agree about Groups. They're sacrificing a huge established userbase using the tool the way that works for them- which is of course what made FB a force- for the sad entropy of an aging platform seeking hotness status but forever being two steps behind. In the meantime FB has unsexy, real-world practical uses that apparently mean nothing to Zuck and company. That genuinely hurts people and organizations.
Can we make a clarification? Are we talking about sound notifications?

First I thought we were talking about silent notifications, like a lock screen display or a display LED etc. But if that's what we're talking about, I don't understand why people here are so annoyed by notifications. My brain filters silent notifications as well as it filters ads - I don't even see them any more.

The only notifications that my brain doesn't filter are the ones with sound, and only one app in my phone can produce sound, which is the alarm.
Hey HN!

Igor here - the founder of Movicorn (by Digger). Movicorn helps move to AWS from other cloud provider in one click.

We came up with the idea for Movicorn after a lot of our users at Digger kept asking us for migration to AWS from their existing cloud providers. The reasons they gave for moving to AWS ranged from having AWS credits, AWS offering better security and compliance, and better geographical coverage by AWS servers.

We broke the process down into just 3 steps:

1. Connect your GitHub
2. Connect your AWS account
3. AWS deployment using Digger (it generates and runs Terraform)

We think this can reduce DevOps and infra overhead, instead of spending weeks on migrations you can go live in minutes and gradually customise.

Please let us know what you think, your feedback is extremely important to us!

That is a good question, and the answer is not simple. A necessary conditions for water vapour in a given air-parcel to condense out is that relative humidity should be 100%, or the less known concept of a dew-point temperature is the same as ambient stratospheric temperature.

In other words, it is possible that H2O vapour concentration did not reach saturation levels at the given air temperatures (stratosphere). However, due to passage of waves through that region it could, locally, trigger condensation. However, the actual micro-physics of having enough condensation nuclei, the physics of growth and falling of micro-dropplets, and large scale circulation and winds complicates to estimate the actual time scale of residence against condensation.

Even the original article does not try to touch any of these aspects, rather create a 'narrative' without any quantitative (even back of envelope) estimates. But one has to appreciate that 145 Tg of water injected into the stratosphere in a single episodic release is mind-blowing number.

This is a weird article because you can't talk about the structure of the Windows Registry without talking about INI files [1]. Example:

But the Registry was built like it was to easily translate INI files into a semi-filesystem structure.

The conversation was about correlations and not merely about one attribute like IP addresses.

An IP address limits the location of a person significantly, unless they use VPN or so, which most people do not, so it cannot be assumed, but rather one must assume, that they do not use VPN.

Add one more attribute and through correlation you might already be able to map to an actual identity. It can happen very easily and you don't want to be an organization, which suddenly realizes, that some of their data has accidentally become personally identifying, when the next data protection audit happens.

Data also does not stay in one place only. It travels from department to department, often from organization to organization even. It has these tendencies, unfortunately. Each actor might have some data as non personally identifying, but when they sell and combine, suddenly it becomes personally identifying data.

An IP address is a very critical part in the data about users and ISPs are not to be trusted to never give their data to another actor. Many ISPs are shady businesses.

Let's start with the philosophical thought in the article about aliens eating humans. I would not advocate for those two options but a third option. Aliens should stop eating humans, bring them all back to earth and release them. The rest is up to humans.

The author then uses this philosophical thought to argue in favor of our existing state of affairs that we raise animals for food and that we eat them. The biggest issue for me with eating animals is that most of them are raised in cruel conditions and their death is not quick but prolonged and painful. Nowadays there are many plant-based sources of protein in a myriad of flavors and shapes. You can get all the protein and the rest of the nutrients without having to eat animal flesh.

What to do with all the animals if we stop eating them? Release them into the wild. Some would die or be eaten by other animals, but that's life. Most should have no trouble adapting to living in the wild. That's what happened in the Chernobyl.

The rest of the article goes into this ridiculous idea of eating animals based on whom we perceive to be bad. Majority of the humans judge and apply human criteria to animals when most of this is false. If you're going to eat animals then just eat all of them or exclude some based on more objective criteria like not eating those that are about to go extinct.

> The single camera, by the way, is very close to the main one on the top models. Apple’s marketing gives the impression that every year the new iPhone cameras leave the old ones in the dust. The truth is, I’m having a hard time distinguishing between the photos of the iPhone SE, those from my girlfriend’s iPhone 11 and my iPhone 8.

It’s a bit odd to compare the iPhone SE to the iPhone 11, and then say it’s the same as the “top models”. The jump in image quality and image processing is pretty significant from the iPhone 11 to the iPhone 13, in my opinion. And video is significantly improved, too. Maybe it’s not something that everyone would notice or care much about, but for me it was well worth the upgrade.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub-replacement_fertility:

“The United Nations Population Division defines sub-replacement fertility as any rate below approximately 2.1 children born per woman of childbearing age, but the threshold can be as high as 3.4 in some developing countries because of higher mortality rates. Taken globally, the total fertility rate at replacement was 2.33 children per woman in 2003. This can be "translated" as 2 children per woman to replace the parents, plus a "third of a child" to make up for the higher probability of males born and mortality prior to the end of a person's fertile life. In 2020, the average global fertility rate was around 2.4 children born per woman.”
i love that site ;)
ty for posting
I don't feel like this article is good enough to be worth resharing 12 years later.

It missed some of the key reasons why the Registry is bad and other criticisms ("We have to write exactly the bytes Windows expects." yeah of course you do. It's only meant to be changed using APIs.) are not very well thought out.

The criticism that the Registry is a janky filesystem in a single file is dismissed because you can do the same thing with ext3. That's not a good reason to dismiss it. Just because you can do a similar thing doesn't mean it is a good thing to do for the Registry. The Registry being a single file is a cause of a ton of problems, and is IMHO the root of all the other problems. If this were a better technical article it would go into that instead of hand waving it away. (E.g. it being a single file leads to the all or nothing nature of it. It necessitates the bad filesystem implementation instead of using the actual underlying filesystem, etc.)
