It's not hard to make correct statements about the git user interface without being misleading about its internals.

josephg said:

> Each different version of every file is stored in full.

which is an untrue statement about how git internally manages its data. It would be fine had they instead said:

> From the user's point of view, it's as if each different version of every file is stored in full. Internally, git may perform compression, including differential compression.

Why would the publisher’s questions be legitimate and the user’s right not to be tracked no? You can still answer those questions but you need to ask for permission. A physical store owner has also a lot of questions but they’re not allowed to follow you everywhere in the store and in the street.

> Heck, when GDPR was first proposed most publishers assumed advertising would be allowed under "essential" business uses since they can't provide content if they don't get paid.

That’s a really weird reasoning. Should drug dealers be exempted from police controls because their activity is essential for their income and so for their life? Earning money is necessary, but there are multiple ways to do so.
This doesn't necessarily take away from your point, but commonly under the law there is a legal fiction that holds a corporation is considered a "person"[1].

And a black market would rapidly develop to subvert the government's artificial constraint on the free market, and inflation would happen there to counter the shortages by creating real price signals to allow people to allocate resources as efficiently as possible to get to where they're most needed and earned.

This is exactly what's happening in countries like Venezuela and Argentina with high inflation right now. The government has set an official forex exchange rate to try to make believe their currency is more valuable than it actually is, while the black market currency exchange gives you the true exchange rate that is reflected by real world markets.

In some cases, this situation is fine, because the government just needs the fake numbers to push a political narrative. More commonly, I feel like this action starts a downward spiral of trust in a society's political class or the political system itself. This is probably a big thing that led to the collapse of communism.

Yep. And either the Oracle support is completely incompetent at my workplace region, or the more servers you add to your multimaster replication, the less is your total throughput. Starting at the 1 to 2 change.

I still believe it's a case of the Oracle people being incompetent, and the system technically being able to scale at a rate somewhat larger than 1. But if a potential gain can be acquired for a few million grand, but nobody has the technical capacity to actually acquire it, is the potential actually there?

This blindly steam rolls over some important distinctions. Humans aren’t allowed to sell direct copies of other people’s art (not in the US and many other countries anyway). This isn’t a hang-up, and it’s not status quo bias, it’s well covered law and economic philosophy that is already blending new digital rights ideas into hard fought legal precedents. We have explicitly decided to have the social goal to protect the rights of artistic creative people & businesses without having their work instantly ripped off.

Humans also are good at taking inspiration from ideas, where today’s AI is borrowing pixels. The AI is copying in a way that humans don’t, it’s not mimicking and taking inspiration - that is anthropomorphising the software that is trained and programmed to make automated mashups of images.

So in part it depends on what we do with AI images. There may be nothing wrong with training on copyrighted material if the resulting inferences are never distributed publicly nor used for commercial purposes. Of course that seems extremely unlikely, which is why it needs to be discussed carefully and debated in good faith, right?

Maybe in part it also depends on whether the AI software is guaranteed to produce something very different from any individual training image. If the outputs are guaranteed to be always a mashup, and never indistinguishable from any single input, that seems like it would be an easier pill to swallow. (There appears to be legal precedent along these lines for music sampling.)

Thanks for the feedback. Yes Google Ads are implemented :( On PC you can avoid it by installing uBlock Origin plugin and on the mobile phone you can setup private DNS from AdGuard or NextDNS. I was using both and for me AdGuard is great solution. You don't need to install any aps in Android or iPhone there is a field in settings called Private DNS/DNS. Google ADS cover my server maintenance.
Maybe in the future I will remove ads from the website. I tried to arrange them so that they were not too intrusive, but this is Google and squeezes them everywhere :)
Scale is not about money alone. Building one of them: entirely doable. And can be started on today, let's go!

But we don't need one, we'd need 10+ of them just for California alone, and there is literally no way to perform all the environmental impact studies necessary to determine that building 10+ desalination plants along the coast all at the same time wouldn't just make the problem exponentially worse. You know what would be insanely stupid? Creating just enough fresh water for a single state to cope, but at the cost of destroying the entire western sea board ecosystem, affecting all pacific states, Canada, Mexico, and a good part of Central and South America, too.

I think you've hit at the heart of the problem, but swapping the DevOps model for SRE is robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Last place I worked with a 100+ person tech team had more of an SRE model. The SRE team were charged with reliability. They had no incentive to delivery features or to improve developer experience. As a result, developer tools sucked, there was s rigid release schedule, every bug was met with a rollback. This was probably an extreme case because the team was also not very good, but either way it was a clear case of misaligned incentives.

The entire point of DevOps was collective ownership with a shared goal of customer value that is function of feature richness, quality and reliability. It's the Holy Grail of efficiency, it's just really hard to build that kind of culture.

MRSA is the real threat, IMO. I've been worried since Covid/masking/run-down immunities that this would really take hold, and we'd have a literal zombie outbreak.

Yes, that's what version control does. `git init` followed by git commits every time you update the db would do exactly the same, so: what is the specific benefit of this approach compared to just version controlling the db file itself?
Direct tuning of stations is bad on just about anything I've used with a touchscreen. Even 'scan' is tedious.

But more recent models have made it worse using 'haptic' controls (touchscreen smooth 'areas' of panels, instead of separated hard buttons). And they've got no physical surface indicators to let you find/use them without having to look down at the center console shifter area.

I went from Jekyll to to Hugo to avoid being bothered with futzing with ruby gems.

Eventually I really appreciated the Golang approach to templating much more than Jinja/Liquid style templates, Go has kind of a composition-over-inheritance approach to templates.

If I ever have time to get proficient enough with Rust I'd love to port that Go templating approach to Rust. Maybe not so much the data interpolation syntax, but rather the approach to composing template partials. But ultimately I'm familiar enough with Jinja style, Zola would probably be a breeze to adopt as well.
That's actual-devops. Grandparent poster has worked at firms which have abandoned all its lessons and just use it to mean something like "regular old ops teams, but they use software". So he's using the term like all the big companies do, basically.

This is also where you will find things like a "CI/CD" team that doesn't do continuous delivery: they just build Jenkins pipelines, and run them as part of the manual cluster bringup every 2-4 weeks. Or "RESTful" to mean "APIs which use JSON and HTTP verbs" regardless of any hypermedia. And let's not even get started on "agile"...

Artemis is a political prestige project.
Yea fair point! It sounds like you're actually describing an artist using the tool to accelerate their own work, which is a cool use case.

But even if something IS completely derivative, some would say it's fair game. I'm not trying to judge — just trying to point out that if someone chooses to blatantly just copy another living artist, it seems like that's more on them than the model itself.

And I personally love remixing styles! But I find that adding even one additional artist to a prompt is more interesting — you immediately get somewhere completely novel.
Yeah, what's worked well for me is having ops or security people draw up guidelines (for security, it may be something as trivial as require ssh key auth, for ops it may be: write a script that matches an existing deployment procedure and we can get your app up and running very quickly).

My team at Nasdaq (I work on other products, not the stock exchange) does DevOps surprisingly well for not being a Real Tech Company TM. I don't know that the business sees benefits, as it meant that all of the devs on my team have had to learn Terraform, Helm, AWS, and Kubernetes in addition to the actual SpringBoot Java application code, so our feature velocity dropped quite a bit, but it was fun to learn, and it's probably better to have people who understand the full deployment and not just pass blame between teams during incidents.

Hardened political rhetoric and seasoned talking points aren't on topic here (regardless of which way the political vector is pointing). If you check out the site guidelines, it should be clear why: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You don't have to agree with anyone's views but this style of argument is deathly to the curious conversation we want here. Curious conversation requires, among other things, respect across differences—wanting to learn more about how someone thinks, and why they think that way, and trusting that they have good reasons for all that even if, in the end, they're wrong. And, of course, you and your views deserve the same consideration.

If you want to argue against someone's views here (Garry's or anyone else's), you'll get much further by making your substantive points thoughtfully. We're trying to avoid the online callout/shaming culture here, at least to the extent possible on the open internet.

The culture of political attack goes very much the other way, of course—people save screenshots of the worst things they can find, bring them up at every opportunity, and so on. Guilt by association is another common tactic. None of this helps us really understand each other—anyone can be made to look bad that way, so it really doesn't have much persuasive power. It does get one's own side riled up (in a yay way) and the opposing side riled up (in a boo way), but riler-uppers are what we're trying to avoid on HN, because they destroy the curious conversation I was just talking about.

(I hope it's clear that all of the above should and does apply equally to opposing political sides.)

Treating USB-C as technical debt rather than a feature
On my work Mac, I treat USB-C/TB3 as tech debt rather than a feature, and that helps me get around the problems. USB-C shows a lot of promise in unifying all cables but was forced into devices before it was ready, to its own detriment. Now that ~6 years have passed, I classify the resulting mess as "tech debt" rather than just "early tech."

Don't assume anything is WAI.

- No dock works reliably, even expensive ones. Got KPs even from my CalDigit TB3.

- USB-C monitors are rare and often don't work reliably.

- Dongles don't work reliably, especially video-related ones.

- USB-C cables themselves differ in unexpected ways.

- Many MacBook models overheat if you charge on the left-hand side (supposedly fixed now, but now RHS charging is my habit).

Anything with -C on both ends is extra prone to issues. Even USB-C mice/KBs can be picky about what cable is used. Ironically, adapting -C to USB-A to -C is more reliable than just using a -C cable.

Only buy USB-A peripherals unless you need a feature of USB-C. Besides the unreliability, you'll run out of -C ports. C/A adapters are cheap. -A hubs are dirt cheap. Getting more -C ports isn't, and they'll come with surprise limitations. People blame -A momentum for device manufacturers not adopting -C, but -C doesn't make sense even by itself given how rare, dodgy, and expensive a multi-USB-C hub is. They didn't exist at all the first few years.

My personal laptop is a 2015 MBP before all this, and maybe some day they'll fix USB-C. Until then, it's a more convenient way to charge a phone, or a good multi-port if you research and buy exactly the right peripherals.

I think you might not understand how a gravity battery works. You use the electricity to move water from a low basing up a mountain to a high basin. You then release that water and have it run through turbines to regenerate (a significant part of) the electricity you used to pump the water up. You don't store electricity, you store energy.
Rapid release has nothing to do with shifting UI. You can have constantly shifting UI even with weekly release.

They aren’t convinced that some of the scarier ideas (like deploying multiple times per day) will help after all.

Option number 3 is the biggest one for me: thinking that having a separate "DevOps" team from the Dev team that does ops via modern tools is DevOps. That may be a good approach for your company, but it ain't DevOps.

IME, letting developers have free reign over service architecture/deployment/CI/observability is a bad idea. Especially when every team comes up with their own option.

You need some sort of Devops (best practices if not a team) to provide guidance and help implement standards for these.

I'm not sure how they got data going to the end of 2022? This also doesn't show a low point in 2012, so can't be what they're basing it on.
Me too.

In my experience it went poorly because us devs are now handling our own deployments and building alerting systems and such, but the "devops" people won't give us the level of access necessary to do that with tools designed for the job, so we end up building custom ops-related tooling into the app and writing backdoors that let us use it without having wake the ops folk.

When you're accustomed to having to build everything you need, and you're tasked with ops work, you end up reinventing a lot of wheels in a rather weird way and compromising your app in the process. Or at least that's what we did.
