In the video realm, Corp IT always came in and screwed up the production gear because they were so confused by the use cases. Instead, we started Production IT department. A corp IT sees a large array and wants to tune it to make lots of small random I/O, prod IT sets it up to make large continuous I/O. Prod IT sees a network port and plugs it into the corp network. Prod IT connects it to the isolated storage network, and doesn't even give the nodes access to corp network. Corp IT wants to install management software, Prod IT knows it'll only still resources from performance and doesn't bother.

If a corp IT and prod IT employee come in contact, a huge explosion occurs not quite as bad as matter/anti-matter. A healthy argument on best practices nontheless
I agree on this. There may be better ways to do things, but people are so sure that UNIX perfected everything 50 years ago that the alternatives don't get explored. Personally I'm not convinced that plain text is naturally better than other options, because what even constitutes plain text? We have ways of encoding our languages into bits on a disk, but without a decoder it really doesn't have any meaning. So how is that different from any other way you can encode data? Isn't the important thing that we have tools that make it easy and consistent to work with the data?
> It is actually a good idea regarding decentralization.

I absolutely agree: hypercore, their DHT and holepunching work is excellent.

My frustration stems from the fact that nothing in the innovative part of Keet needs cryptocurrencies. Now "pump" was the wrong term there. I meant cryptocurrency businesses are trying desperately to find any semi legitimate use cases for their tech becauae if they do, that'll cause the value of the coins they own to go up, and thus making them richer. Without that awkwardly bolted on Bitcoin nonsense in Keet neither of the funding companies would have given them a dime.

The red flag is because the good of keet does not negate the bad of promoting cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are a technological dead end, politically totally against everything I stand for, and morally bankrupt wrt the ecological disaster that is PoW and the pyramid scheme with the already powerful and or wealthy reaping even more for themselves.

I'm also not alone here, see e.g. https://concerned.tech

Furthermore Keet developers' decision to accept that money makes me doubt their judgement, and question where their startup will end up.

For those reasons, I won't use nor recommend keet to anyone.
Are you sure about that? It rather seems like the opposite, just like for buying/renting anything. You absolutely do have a legal right to compensation, but if a company goes bankrupt you might only get it in part and you will have to sue to get it.
They should call themselves "programmers" - if they can actually do the job of programming what they have been taught in that bootcamp (and it looks they can, being employed now). But engineering is a well defined term and sometimes even protected in many other places. I work with people of all kind of backgrounds, but you can definitely notice the difference in feedback you receive from somebody with a university background (which I would call engineer).

I don't really think that level of skepticism is warranted without cause, but humoring it for just a bit: does it really matter what the authors motives are? We have a long and detailed piece including interviews with SMEs and quotes from CEOs and marketing materials. It's takeaway is relatively soft: should we, as brand leaders, think more carefully about this?.

If we can't learn something from this without understanding the authors motives then I'm not sure what media is left to safely learn from.

It's progress, but the degree of progress is vastly oversold by the media, and sometimes even by academics. Kind of similar to those "amazing new semiconductor" articles that come out every 6 months.

We also can't shame people into being straight, monogamous, christian, etc. So overall I'd say this one is a win, even if it has some downsides.

> We've lost most of our social tools for dealing with dangerous and extreme views.

It was a couple hundred years ago we burned people alive for being witches. Less than a hundred years ago we lynched people for interracial relationships. Less than 50 years ago we arrested people for being obviously gay.

Extreme views aren't new. We didn't crack down on them historically, they actually got baked into the culture and it's norms.

I much prefer this new generally chill thing we are doing as a culture.
Indeed. Thats actually how my team's FE engineers called our API.

But once other teams started integrating -- we heard all kinds of feedback.

My thoughts afterward were simply that people under the time pressure to push features daily had different appetites for any friction in their workflow.

We considered the feedback from the larger team and intentionally added support for both REST & GraphQL in our next app. We wanted to support anyone that wanted some exposure to it without forcing anyone. And that had much better feedback from consumers.
> So there is a specific role and skillset for DevOps engineers (going by the original usage of the term), correct?

Be careful with that misquoting there: I said "different skillsets", I didn't say necessarily roles. An Ops and a DevOps person will know different things.

> Don't you feel that if you can hire a “DevOps engineer” for a specific role on a software team then we have all lost at using the phrase DevOps?

So, you copy-pasted this from the article. If so I'll assume you're agreeing with them and this conversation can be over.
In the case of first party games owned by Valve, they may earnestly intend to do as they say, and consequently aren't lying when they say it. Nevertheless, such promises about what will happen when the company is departing are worth approximately jack shit. Whether it's Gabe (or his heirs) later deciding to sell the company or creditors carving up the company after it fails, there are many scenarios in which those earnest promises will fall through. Notch once promised to eventually open source Minecraft. Maybe he wasn't lying when he said it, he might have earnestly meant it. But that went straight out the window when Microsoft wrote him a big fat check.

In the case of third party games with DRM on Steam: Valve doesn't have a license to distribute those games without DRM, so they're effectively promising to become a pirate software distributor. They have the technical means to do this, but not the legal right. They're almost certainly self-deluding if not lying outright when they promise to do this. I lean towards flagrantly lying; they know they don't have a license to do what they're promising but they're promising it anyway. And if they're willing to lie about this, I think you should reevaluate their promises respecting first party games as well.
The best low bid can buy!
Aye, it is indeed down, that's sad.

The isochrones are loaded over the network on mouse hover. I thought that scheme would keep working and remain fast since the loaded vector data is completely static.

I guess the /api/isochrones/<id> url does point to some server-side code which couldn't keep up, unfortunately.

Actually, Vercel is returning "This Serverless Function was rate limited." and a 429 code i.e. too many requests. So it's more of a "hitting the limits of the Vercel plan" problem than anything.

There was never a big book with everyone in it. Maybe everyone in your city (more accurately, every household). But it was never even close to the scale of the internet. Linkedin has orders of magnitude more people than your phone book ever did.
Agreed, and displaying this like a tree is then a UI concern.

I think you'd get slightly more performance if you were to store "Folder" and "Key" separately -- either three fields or using a parent-child table. You'd be able to index "Folder", and it would make building the tree structure itself easier and more efficient, and looking up all the values in a specific tree simpler.
There seems to be widespread unhappiness in tech circles about Google search trending towards an ad delivery system and quality of search results going down. And at least in tech circles a slow exodus via people de-Googling. So yeah I agree with you their main services are popular enough for now. Yet Tik Tok is slowly eclipsing Youtube for watched minutes in some demographics, so some mainstream non-technical users are going where they feel served best. What does that mean for search and e-mail? Again I agree with you: not much until and unless something very compelling comes along.
There's a lot of meaningful gestures about this kind of apparel being worn by the politically unfavored in the article, unsurprisingly. Which is annoying to those of us who can appreciate what's called "tactical" gear for actual utilitarian functionality and durability. More pockets is great. Carabiner hooks are useful. If you're the kind of person who wears cargo pants or, dare I say, a UtiliKilt, then having a carry case for your wargaming miniatures covered in molle [0] just makes sense. Having the clothing that feels most appropriate to you associated with a cultural group that's looked down on is unfortunate. Though, I suppose, hardly new for long-time geeks. Interestingly, I can even find the cultural implications of the "tactical" label useful. Companies that market to that demographic often differentiate by offering BIFL-like products and manufacturing in the United States (thus avoiding some of the guilt that may come from potentially supporting slave labor in developing countries).

I think the interesting question is how they will "compare". If they compare favorably to that key learning, as "this kind of thing, but a better iteration on it" it won't much matter the quantity. As the article points out, it's not about this conflict, it's about the next one.
I get that Tolkien was a staunch Catholic, but he was also a preeminent philologist trained in a way that few people today are. He was deeply familiar with all forms of human myth. To blindly assume that all characters in LotR must have a Biblical corollary is lazy. Tom Bombadil "rapes" Goldberry (in the ancient sense of the word[1]) in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil that comports nicely with other myth cycles and not very well with the idea of the "first Man" or "Adam" (it's not even clear that Bombadil is Eru's direct creation). I think if you actually read the secondary Tolkien texts you might see it differently. They are almost all worth it.

But one day Tom, he went and caught the River-daughter,

in green gown, flowing hair, sitting in the rushes,

singing old water-songs to birds upon the bushes.

He caught her, held her fast! Water rats went scuttering

This seems a little inaccurate. I've found John Pearse for my hometown in Hook, Hampshire. However Wikipedia indicates he's from Hook in Yorkshire.

Learn how to program and head into theorem prover territory, the undergraduate math curriculum and beyond is being built in those tools so you can watch it unfold and learn it as the material progresses. You will understand it since it will be communicated in a language that you understand formally and it is literally the math that math students are learning.

I looked it up and man. Survivalist/doomsday preppers are a special bunch. And even they thought he was crazy.

I was also introduced to a new term TEOTWAWKI or The End Of The World As We Know It. Which I find a hilarious event to try and prepare for. Because everyone assumes that the end of the world as we know it will descend into something predictable. Usually some sort of Mad Max style dystopia or like The Road or The Walking Dead.

No. The end of the world as we know it is a wholly unpredictable event. We won't know what it looks like until it happens. And there's no guarantee of survival. For example, if the event causes us to lose our magnetosphere, it just doesn't matter what you've done. We're all dead.

All doomsday/survivalist prepping is preparing for a single type of event. An event that will be largely corrected by other people. As I've never seen preppers super concerned with agriculture. It's all bunkers, weapons, and non-perishable food.
That's not strictly true. GIF can have a maximum of 256 colors per block, but different blocks can have different palettes, and each frame is not required to fill every block, so you can build up images with more than 256 colors using a series of incomplete frames. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIF#True_color

Granted, I still check fairly often, but it's when I want to check.
Nobody's asking for an express train between Jackson and Billings. When you exclude the Mountain States and Alaska, the US has about the same population density as Western Europe.

It totally depends, to be honest.
There are countries/ ISP with a very high IPv6 adoption, but also some that don't care at all.

The idea is to use the built-in reverse proxy for proxying HTTP(S) requests and provide an IPv4 + IPv6 endpoint for your domain.

That means your end users won't even notice the server is running on IPv6 only

> The problem isn't the language per se. The problem is fetishization.

Bingo. A lot of the people seeking out "tacticool" gear don't need or use any of the additional functionality. They mostly wear it in air-conditioned offices, carrying only the usual complement of keys, phones, etc. Not a lot of extra value for abrasion-resistant nylon and extra pockets/loops/molle for someone who barely even goes outdoors. I have more use for it than they do when I'm hiking but still not in the home or office. No, it's not usually about function or quality. It's about their own form of "virtue signaling" to show how they feel about all things law-enforcement or military, so that people of like insurrectionist mind can find each other.
> they would pull your youtube (and any other google property) account in, and it was really repulsive to people

Here's a fun anecdote that comes to mind whenever I think of Google+ :

On YouTube I had either liked or commented on a video where comedian/pianist Tim Minchin performed his song, White Wine in the Sun. To give a simple summary, this song is about how he likes Christmas, even if he thinks the whole religious aspect of it is silly.

This was around my late teens, when I was quietly pulling myself out of my Christian upbringing and had decided I didn't really want to continue pretending I believe all that stuff (part of the reason I was drawn to Tim Minchin in the first place).

Well wouldn't you know, apparently interacting with any YouTube video publicly posted your interactions to your Google+ page, where I had added some random people here or there, including my sister who had seen this "post," watched the video, and proceeded to question me a day or two later as to why I shared that video.

I can't say that left a great impression on me to continue using Google+

On of the challenges of writing RPC endpoints is how to orchestrate all of the downstream API calls your endpoint makes. Ideally, you would make network calls in parallel, avoid fetching which is not needed, and have robust error handling for each of the network calls. It can be hard to do all of these things while still keeping your code organized.

I wrote a blog post outlining a pattern that I've been using to make this easier using a combination of functional programming and structured concurrency. It contains lots of code examples. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
Brings back an old memory. I took CMU's AI class in 1986. Most CMU classes were really two classes - one about the lectures and one about learning to hack. I did my project for this class in Lisp and wrote an engine to solve Lego assembly problems. While testing, I gave it a problem to solve, and it came up with a better solution than mine. Was my first AI eureka moment.

> Even though the etymologies of the words don't describe them as being based on race / racial judgments

Then why should we change them? I know you said:

> Setting aside the historical context, they also help reenforce the idea of "white is good, black is bad"

But if we can't trust people to infer a word's meaning based on the context, we have a much bigger problem imo. Another example of this is the word gentleman. If you refer to a gentleman's club, that's a very different thing than calling a man a gentleman. We trust that English speaking people don't start conflating the two contexts together, because most people possess the basic ability to understand the idea of context.

I don't get when or why we suddenly decided that people can't infer the context of words. And in this specific case, if you can't infer that a blacklist is not a racial insult, but just a term that denotes a list of denials, then you have some other issues to sort out.

Put another way, should we stop referring to profitable markets as markets in the black[1] because they put a positive spin on the color black? No, it's just dumb. I trust that the average human is capable of parsing out an inferred context of a common phrase in their native language.

Furthermore, master isn't even synonymous with slavery[2]. We have "a master craftsman" and "master chefs", which aren't evil. The word "boss" is also derived from master[0], but I'm sure we would all agree that it's ridiculous to remove the word "boss" from our vernacular because it may have been used to denote something else in the past, and that thing it denoted (master) was used to denote a specific use of the word (slave master) at some point in a specific time of history that was also a bad thing.

Edit: I'd also like to add that colors denote a certain symbolism (that may vary across cultures), and has nothing to do with racist intent. White has been used for centuries to denote purity, and black is the opposite of that. People aren't black/white in that sense, because skin color isn't even black/white in that sense. The Bible refers to white as a symbol of purity, but the Jews were not "white" by any means. And apparently in Chinese culture, black is associated with heaven[3]. That doesn't mean that your skin color makes you "heavenly" or "evil". I trust the average person is able to infer context.

4. LaunchControl[1] on the Mac has a neat feature that sends a notification whenever a launchd item is added or removed. This is nice to know, and generally only triggers when apps are installed or updated, and on app launch and quit for a few apps like VMware Fusion that only keep their related launchd items loaded while running (banners only, Mac only).

Everything else gets turned off with extreme prejudice.
