I think it was an idea who's time had come. Declarative WoW has been gaining momentum as git has been incorporated into more and more dev flows (ex: CI automation declared in repo is now standard). Nix or Guix is just a natural extension to that. Maybe combined with some general dependency-hell frustrations out there. I agree that it feels like the popularity has increased a lot recently (though I don't think I have any real evidence for that more than personal experience) but I would personally just put that down to a slow organic growth over a long time which suddenly pushes a technology closer to the mainstream and then there could be a sudden inflection point of attention to it. Maybe network effect is the better description.

Sudden increases like this also often comes with a bit of a counter wave. See the "RIIR" jokes for example. I can definitely understand those feelings. It is annoying when something is brough up constantly and talked about as a panacea to everything. Nix will (and already have had) this quite a bit. Especially since nix probably deserves criticisms more than most. Even with flakes it is still very hard to understand and can limit the amount of people able to make changes to the build pipeline. To these critics I can just say that I understand and that it is perfectly fine to not switch to nix. We are just trying to find solutions to problems we see and have had in our projects, they might not be good solutions problems existing in yours.

What a lot of people (even some working in devops) don't get is that pages/SLA metrics are a "budget". If you never get paged and your system never goes "down" (down = you need to fix something, not necessarily down for the user), it means that you're doing something wrong. Obviously you don't want to overdo it, but if you have an oncall rotation for a service that never pages or pages so rarely, you're wasting human and engineering resources.

If that's the case, you need to reconsider if you need a devops/SRE team in the first place, if you need an oncall rotation, or maybe if you need to be more proactive in implementing/releasing/deploying new features as long as you stay within SLO budget. We've had weeks and months where we just looked at our graphs and uptime budget and go "our systems are getting worse, we need to slow down releasing and tighten up the automation", and we've also had months where our load was so light that we'd consider doing large migrations or more daring experiments (for our devs) because those also improve our service and our users' experience.

From 2007 (please fix headline). Abstract asks "has the bicameral model withstood the test of time?" and describes the types of studies they did to address this question. The abstract doesn't give or really hint at the answer. At least from a 2022 perspective, that is clickbait, lol. I'll take a look at the article but would rather have the abstract actually summarize the paper, as abstracts are supposed to do.

> I certainly believe that's true for you. But in the case where engineers choose not to ever run what they build, how do you reconnect the feedback loop?

My company goes with option 3 from the list, “It’s not part of the job outside business hours, but we might still try to reach you during those times.” and it's working fantastically for us.

One out of eight weeks my only job is handle alerts, incidents, and questions from other teams. I and my coworkers dedicate this time to burn down technical debt and to add documentation to the codebase. This keeps error rates quite low on its own but we combine this with a scheduled release cadence (3 times a week) and a reasonably sized QA team that tests the major feature flows of our product for each release (~1 QA per/ 25 engineers) and an ops team whose job is built around being available to rollback to a previous release.

Even though we're a large company with millions of DAU most teams get pinged out of working hours less than once a year. My experience here has really pushed me to the opinion that continuous delivery has been hugely destructive for most of the industry, eroding our pool of experienced engineers who can't be bothered to do on-call.
Well of course it is soaring. While everyone is happy boasting about how good the job numbers are, average Joe is having a hard time to afford gas and groceries with his still same wage gig job

Agreed.

Usually the issue is collecting accurate income data. There are plenty of places where people do not necessarily report accurate pictures of their income, and so comparison is generally harder.
Any chance there's something similar out there for Midjourney?
One reason is that this will make it a matter of survival for energy companies and governments to mandate connection to the grid and buying of electricity, for fear of having these critical companies fail.

Because this is not going to make all energy cheaper. It's going to massively increase the cost of "legacy" energy while making some types of energy free.

Perhaps they will use a "social" cost-sharing, or ... well I don't know, but essentially the time will come when living in the countryside will come with "free" energy (not unlimited though), and cities will come with punitively expensive energy.
Scott Alexander's review summarizes my take on this book incredibly well

> Julian Jaynes’ The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind is a brilliant book, with only two minor flaws. First, that it purports to explains the origin of consciousness. And second, that it posits a breakdown of the bicameral mind.

It's really a great read if you enjoy thinking about the mind. It's full of little insights and novel ways of thinking. So long as you don't take Jaynes too seriously.

It gets even nastier with systems that care about where memory is allocated. Sometimes you really want to use a particular slab of memory for everything and not just whatever malloc happens to return. You could pass in function pointers or something for malloc/free, but that makes your API even messier.

I have a few ideas, and I’ve read about this for years, fascinated and frustrated that my dad was in WW2 but never talked about it. Most recently I’ve read The Pacific War[1], a comprehensive classic.

The USA had two huge long-term advantages that Japan could not match: intelligence and production. For most of the war we were reading most of the Japanese encrypted communications. It’s one reason that we won the battle of Midway, for instance.

In terms of production, the US moved its economy into a war-footing quickly and nearly completely. People were planting Victory Gardens so that food producers could use less petroleum for farming and fertilization; tires were rationed. Over the long term it’s impossible to see the relatively small island of Japan standing toe-to-toe with the USA.

E.g., I found a 50-year-old dissertation [2] on the subject which claims that in 1939 over 90% of Japanese imports of petroleum, copper, and several iron and steel products were from the USA. It’s one reason they kept expanding during the war, despite the risk of being unable to hold territory: they needed the resources.

Certainly there are other factors, but these have always stood out to me as incontrovertible advantages.

It's true that the documentation situation is pretty rough. However, The problem with this is that common usage of Nix is in kind of a bizarre state at the moment. We're in this limbo between the old `nix-` style commands and the new `nix ` commands, and between Not-flakes and flakes. These new features are labelled "experimental", but in practice they are widely used, and regarded as the inevitable future of the use of Nix.
You don't want to be putting enormous amounts of effort into documenting all of the confusing gotchas of a situation that will ideally go away soon.

It makes more sense to make a strong push for getting the new features fleshed out, made user friendly, and stabilized, and then slamming the brakes and doing a documentation push.

In practice, this will take a long time, and it probably makes sense to concurrently work on documenting things that won't change. But I don't think at this stage dropping all feature work for documentation makes sense.

The other thing is that I don't think Nix's learnability issues come entirely from lack of documentation. A big chunk of the problem is a lot of very strange UX decisions and confusing defaults. Rather than documenting these as is, it seems better to put effort into fixing them, making default behaviour more intuitive and less confusing.
> WebSocket can run on top of HTTP/2

Isn't "websocket" just a standard tcp socket, whose specification to instantiate it was born in a comparatively ephemeral HTTP (of whatever version) request, and which outlives the request, so isn't on top of anything other than tcp?

GDPR excludes some financial data. So I don’t know about Experian, but I don’t think you can opt out of your bank holding data even after you close your account. For example, Transferwise asked me to provide a copy of my passport or driving license. I asked why they keep it for 10 years after they identify me, and they pointed out to some extensive regulation (which I believe trumps the GDPR).

Not the parent poster, but if we assume fuel costs are 20% of total expenses [1] then a 40% tax on the fuel, if completely passed on to the customer, would make each flight 8% more expensive.

Whether 40% correctly offsets pollution externalities is a tougher question.

Okay but where does that leave my original question? The link you provided seems to suggest that employers can't dox you without your consent. In that case what experian provides isn't really different from your potential future employer asking for your w-2 from your previous job.

>If your previous employer flags you as "not eligible for rehiring" then Experian is gonna tell that to your new employer:

Isn't "eligible for rehire" or "would you hire this person again" a standard question to ask when checking references? It's certainly something that can work against you, but hardly something you can solely blame experian for enabling.
I think there's a middle ground between having a simple, understandable message and just spouting nonsense. Granted we have a lot more of the latter these days.

Great read.
Well if I have to choose between Car Culture, Fast Food food, and Obesity, or giving up those things.

I choose FAT... every day.

Thankfully that is a False dilemma, and we can keep our car culture and rollback obesity at the same time

Most of the people focusing on "car culture" do not really care about obesity, it is a proxy war for Climate Change, and opposition to Rural America.

I will never accept high population density, and electric cars will resolve the climate change issue
> GDP isn't income at all, they're completely different metrics.

Not exactly, according to the OECD.

Some appealed to unrealistic things though, like “all decent text editors should help to make json typing/formatting bearable instead”. Yeah, that totally worked before and will work this time too. We’d all do much better if our standard formats weren’t such an annoyance to work with in the name of something that computers wouldn’t even notice eventually. If there is a void inside a busy place, it will be filled regardless. With that in mind, think what would happen if something much less adequate filled that void. They didn’t want world which couldn’t care less about how anyone wanted it to be. But that’s what we can only have.

That’s for HTTP/1.1, where WebSockets are really a completely different protocol which “hijacks” the underlying TCP or TCP+TLS stream from HTTP via the Upgrade request.

HTTP/2 has its own concept of streams, so WebSockets can run over a single HTTP/2 stream, and the linked RFC describes extending the CONNECT method to take over a single stream.

Agreed. But it is an example of the sort of book that we don't get a chance to see too often these days — a book built from a combination of knowledge and imagination, driving down and through territory most everyone else avoids or doesn't even notice. For the purpose of pushing the boundaries of thought, and charting unknown territory, it truly doesn't matter when such people turn out to be mistaken or wrong; what matters is that they've opened ground for others to cover and investigate. Our siloed, narrow-to-a-mathematical-point graduate education system does everything it can to keep people from building such thought edifices, and from true, organic cross-discipline/category work. We need more like Jaynes.
There's a legal expression (it's in French originally) that says

"You can't get blood from a stone"

This effectively means financial crimes can never be repaid in full, and frequently only small percentages get repaid. It also means the government can never hope to actually do anything to help other than punishment.

Going after financial crimes to protect victims ... just doesn't work.

Somehow this is enormously at odds with people's expectation of justice, and people either just can't or refuse to believe that's really how it works.

Well, the idea is to attach responses to downvotes. So you spend several days finding mistakes, you write it up at the review stage, they say "nope" and reject your review. You don't lose any reputation. When they publish, you downvote and post your review as a response (you can just copy and paste - you're right, right now it disappears, but we can make sure reviewers retain access to review comments - that's easy). Sure the office mate can upvote, but other voters will see your critical review, see the mistakes you outline and can affirm you.

I guess what it comes down to is this: do you believe the average actor in science/academia is a good actor? IE. Are they honestly trying to be unbiased and advance good science/good work above all else? Or do you believe the average actor is a bad actor (OR that the incentive structure is so strong that even well intentioned actors are corrupted to be mediocre actors)?

If the average actor is a good actor, the system works and work will be rated/rewarded correctly. If the average actor is a bad actor, or the incentive structure is too strong, then this system would absolutely fail in the sort of worst case scenarios that have been described here.

This thread is about how Google's oncall policy is phenomenal. If you're complaining about other oncall policies, you're in the wrong place.
