Does this threat make the retired German Gepard air defence tank "modern" again? Alternatively, could one mount something like Phalanx CIWS on a truck? I suppose one wouldn't want to use (expensive) missiles (stinger?) against small drones?

BTW: Why is the ammunition for these systems still on chains -- opposed to "just" shovelling it into some kind of funnel?
> You know, in this case I don’t think Stadia was a joke. I think it was a completely sincere effort to compete with a new kind of “console” in the game industry.

I agree! They really gave Console as a Service a shot. But back in the day when it was launching, my take was that the "new console" part of it was secondary. The core goal would have been to get a foot in the game streaming market for their Android TV / Cast platform.

> dug in instead of pivoting

If this rumour is true, maybe that's exactly what's happening. They've proven that the experience is good enough for people to play games on it, and even pay for the privilege. So it's technically sound (depending on geography).

Gamers aren't going to play through the entire new Skyrim on Stadia, Google knows that. But what about Gamers (in the right geographical location) watching a Youtube video on their smart TV being served an ad? That ad for the new Skyrim has a "Play demo now" button, no download required, instant gameplay. Now that's an expensive ad if I've ever seen one.
I get where the author is coming from. The meaning of "DevOps" is in the name - it stems from a culture of encouraging _devs_ to do _ops_, and rejecting the antiquated separation between developers who write the code and the sys-admins who deploy the code.

The term "DevOps" doesn't need retiring, but "DevOps Engineer" does. DevOps is a culture and a practice that allows developers to iterate quickly by taking ownership of the operations of the software they build. Every engineer is a DevOps engineer. But such a widespread diffusion of responsibilities doesn't mean the specialists suddenly disappear. It's not like every dev knows how to configure a new multi-region cluster with automated failover. Instead, they know how to use whatever platform they've been empowered with to help them manage such operations.

For this reason, I think "Platform Engineer" is a better word than "DevOps Engineer" for describing the differentiated specialization of this role. Every developer in an organization engages in "DevOps" on a regular basis, whenever they debug a CI pipeline or deploy a new service. But someone needs to build, setup and maintain all the tooling to enable those _devs_ to do _ops_. In my mind, that's the specialized role of a Platform Engineer.
Email and Mastodon have a similar issues in that they combine two different layers of functionality into a single protocol. The bottom layers (identity and social graph respectively) would be better served by not being tied to specific form of communication (the top layers).

If we could separate out these layers I think you would find that the user experience would be easier to improve and evolve more cleanly over time, with multiple formats and protocols being built upon a base abstraction layer.
Maybe we're just unlucky with recruiting.

In my team there are people with 2 or 3 years of experience who need 5x to 10x the time it take a senior developer to do.

As I said, maybe we're just unlucky. Or maybe the whole IT sector is used to low-quality, low-efficiency jobs. Who knows.

That's a new alternative to the registry, and some prominent programmers like Raymond Chen have promoted using it, but it's still up to app developers which they want to use. I doubt that the registry is going away any time soon.

Although lacking nuance, your point is clear and there was no need for that dubious holocaust switcheroo you did at did the end.

Keep in mind that there is a vast zone between showing a couple holding hand and random people straight out fucking. What's missing on TV and the Internet these days are tasteful and varying depiction of people expressing their love in wholesome ways. People need references as to what is normal and not shameful. Banning _every_ depiction of physical emotional engagement is certainly not the way to go.

> When I first heard the term, it was used to tell us that us developers need to do our own operations. And we did. Cool.

That is not at all what it ever meant, and is very much the opposite of the original meaning. For what it's worth, I personally think this is probably the best approach now though.

> Then it turned into 'developers need to work with the operations people.' Wait what is this just a mantra or something?

This is sort of it. Calling it a "mantra" is fine, but it was meant to be a cultural shift. It was actually pretty successful, which I think is why most people are a little mystified as to what it was originally about. It has become just the way things are done, so it is difficult to recognize as a change. Back before this change started to happen, developers and operations teams used to be much much more divided. They rarely spoke to each other until applications were preparing for release, and then it was the dreaded "throw it over the wall".

Operators didn't want devs touching their environments and breaking things. Developers didn't want anything to do with production, because once the code was released their job was done. The whole idea was to align these incentives, and to modernize Operations (which was frankly very stuck in old mindsets).

> Now it's just a fancy word for 'sysadmin', apparently?

This is what people mean when they say "if you are hiring 'DevOps engineers' you're doing it wrong".

Anyways, it's basically a dead phrase. If you've been in the industry less than 15 years or so, it's basically meaningless to you. The movement it came from achieved its goals so well that it no longer has any useful meaning. It now just serves as a way to nerdsnipe people who were there into explaining what it actually meant.
What? It seems directly related to me.
I would say no,you don't get that right. The inverse is also true, I don't think it is a right for nudists to expect entirely pure thoughts.

This is mindboggling to me. One of the richest companies in thew world just leaves this janky partially documented mess for developers to wade through like mud.

How can MS claim to hire 'the best of the best' when such a commonly interfaced piece of their product is garbabe?

Why isn't it refactored to be clear, concise, with simple documentation and tutorials?

If we were to be cynical we could say 'they don't want you to because competitive this-or-that' - ok, money would be a reason. But it's not that. It's just a turd.

Mac is a bit similar, in that it's hard to find what goes where and why, with all of the examples.

The entire development world before mobile I think had this anti-product attitude: they don't give a s**. You're 'stupid' for not having it figured out. The 'documentation is there!' (but really only in some obscure way). People move on, nobody cares. Who in MS has the job to 'care' about such a thing anyhow?

These kinds of things drive me bananas. These are the biggest and richest corporations to ever exist. It should be clear, documented, with tutorials, examples and searchable.

I read most the article and it's just a lot of the same tired old arguments and an extremely simplified worldview of both GC and reference counting. I wish I had the author's address, because I'd like to mail them a copy of the Garbage Collection Handbook. They clearly have a very naive view of both garbage collection and reference counting. And there isn't a single dang measurement anywhere, so this can be completely dismissed IMHO.
I have a similar background, and my initial path into this job in the late 90s was definitely "become a developer in 6 months" using only books on HTML and Perl (and a pirate copy of Photoshop), so I can easily believe with instruction one can become a developer in 3.

There's a lot I couldn't do, of course, and there will be a lot that bootcamp devs can't do. But it's a start, a foot in the door. And it's also a kick up the ass for anyone who doesn't have the discipline to just sit at home studying for months.

I suspect both you and I made useful contributions before we hit the 10 year mark, if your young devs are just doing menial work either they're just not very good or they aren't being given anything solid to work on.
I can confirm what you are saying, it is hard to explain with examples, but we were just free unlike most other places.

One thing about naturist beaches and how that resonated, there is/was a belief that especially for the kids, you should allow them to run naked and swim naked in the sea. When they get older, once they learn to be shy, they would be clothed, but when they are kids and innocent, they should be free to go how they want ie. naked.
Language evolves. Shaking your fist at the term "software engineer" isn't going to roll back those changes. If my title is software engineer (it isn't, it's ML engineer), and that's what recruiters looking at my resume will expect for the kinds of jobs I'm qualified for, then by golly I'm going to call myself an engineer.
My point is that I miss the mid 2000s. Better vision for the internet. We can still build it, though!
Hey Google, buy EA and the FIFA licence renewal and Stadia will take off for sure.
I did look at the low-end PepWave offerings but was put off by the pricing, especially when combined with their hosted VPN pricing.

I might have misunderstood, but for the bonding feature without setting up my own VPN server in a datacentre it looked like it would require SpeedFusion Cloud product at $589 for every 20TB I transfer. I'd easily hit that in a year at home.

That's more than my unlimited fixed line, my primary unlimited 4G/5G, my 15GB per month secondary 4G/5G, my 50GB per year emergency backup 4G/5G (on a third cellular network), and Speedify, per year combined.

And if I'm willing to set-up a hosted VPN server, I may as well just set up a local Speedify router instead.

I couldn't see the option for redundancy either, where the same traffic is pumped through both lossy interfaces which is especially useful at the edges for 4G coverage, like when IRL streaming in spotty reception.

I can see PepWave would have its use-cases, especially for businesses that can justify the expense. But for me it was less flexible and orders of magnitude more expensive.

[Edit after sithadmin replied: I think PepWave devices support redundancy as "WAN Smoothing".]
The problem is that Stadia isn't a scrappy startup. Google has over a hundred billion in cash, so this really just seems like a fun side-project for them. Microsoft spent $2.5 billion just to purchase a single game. I'd be surprised if Google spent even 10% of that on Stadia. Very few people are going to be interested in gaming on the cloud just to play some lightweight indie games. If Google paid the big bucks to get AAA Stadia exclusives, then more people would be interested and everyone would know that it's something that they're actually committed to.

DevOps was what you meant, and still is in some places. But in reality it is either a fancy term of system admin, confined to cloud providers, or I don't know what I need but probably can do everything. You might be delighted by the terms DevSecOps as well, which is DevOps, with the confusing factor on steroids.
Honest, or uninhibited? I make the distinction as someone can be honest while also being conditioned to self censor and having to tone-down their language. For some people, speaking uninhibited is not necessarily always a worst instinct even if that means hurting someones feelings. I would rather know who I am dealing with via their inhibition. The platform and/or client should give thin skinned folks a way to block jerks. I think a primary concern today is the risk aversion of societal blow-back leading to legal quagmires and simply silencing, shadow-banning or deleting someone off a platform to avoid risk.

I would theorize that perhaps some contributing factors would be the confluence of incompatible laws and cultural differences of each nation make it highly risky for advertisers, affiliates and investors to be financially tied to a platform that permits uninhibited conversations in this international arena. What is acceptable in one nation may be highly taboo, heresy or entirely illegal in another. In conclusion I believe this is what leads to having three degrees of platforms and thus at least 3 degrees of inhibition.

- Mainstream corporate platforms where people have to self-censor and tip-toe on eggshells [1] to avoid being cancelled. Most of these platforms have a code of etiquette that may be enforced by moderators and/or group voting and/or machine learning.

- Platforms that explicitly don't care about investor concerns and only try to stay within the laws of the nation they are hosted. Maybe that would be like 4chan? So they allow most but not all speech? This will attract the people that find themselves isolated away from corporate mainstream monetized platforms. Usenet probably also falls into this category today as it is distributed and the end-users have to censor whatever they do not like themselves however attribution to the source poster is still sometimes possible. Usenet is an example of people being pushed off a platform by bots and I am not entirely convinced that most of the "spam" on usenet is really spam but rather a tool to push people off the platform.

- Darkweb platforms that allow any and all speech because attribution to the platform host can be difficult. These sites may also get flooded bots run by people or governments that are vehemently apposed to uninhibited speech and try to push people away from the platform. People can say whatever they want on some of these platforms so just like the former days of Usenet people have to wear a very thick skin [2] and be ready for people to be entirely uninhibited and/or jerks.

There are probably other layers and aspects of this issue that I am missing.

It also helps that the only ads/monetization going on are some banner ads from various rocketry store websites. The forum is run just as a service to the hobby and not to make money.

I think any answer to this has to involve two staples of American culture, cars and racism.

The prevalence of both has been a big detriment to rail initiatives. For whatever reason people have associated a nearby train station with crime and opening up the neighborhood to the "wrong people".

And the incredibly cheap and ubiquitous car culture (especially in the post-war period) provided the alternative. That of course interacts with the dramatic lack of density for new post-war suburban neighborhoods as well, which is a function of both issues mentioned (cars and racism) as well as the fact that the US does indeed (or did) have a whole lot of extra space compared to Europe.
What Is TypeScript?
I live near Boston in the US. In five hours, you can get as far north as Portland Maine (there's no passenger rail service north of there), and as far south as Philadelphia, and as far west as Albany.

In New York, you can probably do better, but if you leave the Northeast Corridor (the stretch between Boston and Washington, DC, along the coast) destinations to other major cities like Montreal will take around nine hours (if they ever restart that service post-pandemic), and even the fastest train to Chicago takes around 20 hours. NYC to Los Angeles? at least 70 hours.

How far can you get to by train from Paris in 70 hours?
fwiw, here is how I loosely think about the problem:

Humans are both 100% animal and 100% human.

There is no dichotomy.

A human acting "as an animal" is doing a maximally human thing.

A human acting as a "civilized" person is also maximally human.

Choosing not to play the game via "suicide" and choosing to stay in the game to see where it leads via "not suiciding" are both maximally human decisions.

The most fucked up but also a maximally human expression is to try to enforce your chosen / memetically inculcated views of "acting human" on other humans. Forcing others whom you have never met into your is/ought for "reasons".

It's fucked up because the coda one chooses to enforce shaves the weirdness of humanity off (being bullied for liking computers in the 80s slowed the rate of human computer adoption) in an attempt to socially decrease the range of acceptable expressions thus narrowing the global tree of human exploration and expression.
