I’m probably forgetting lots, but that’s sort of to be expected, since I can latch on and care too much about anything that catches my fancy, leading to deep dives into research that leave my life littered with general knowledge and trivia that often has people asking me “how do you know so much?” …

I effectively collect things I care about enough to learn more than An average person and have also learned how to weave a half decent ad lib lecture, which leaves me with far too many things about which which I could “ give a lecture without prepping”.

Nothing seems to be very different for the last 20 years, which also means things aren't getting any better. That's tiring.
HomeKit doesn't require an app for each device - sounds like Matter doesn't need one either, it's just that many devices expose controls Matter doesn't support.

iPhones don't even ship with a charger anymore and they definitely did not lower their prices when the decision to leave them out. It's a win-win for them – they can claim to be more environmentally conscious etc. while reducing their BOM cost.

Apple and other phone companies don't depend on selling cables and chargers. If they did, they would have been doing a much better job and they'd be more like Anker and Griffin.

Quote from Fox News.

Meanwhile Trump has been telling people he was a far left activist who intentionally mowed someone down in cold blood and the mainstream media refuses to cover the story (possibly because Trump made up most of the details).

There's some weird stuff about the the crazy guy saying the kid was in an extremist Republican outfit, but as far as I can tell that's just the ravings of a drunk with mental health issues who just run someone over while DUI.
I'm saying that it isn't harmful and they shouldn't be making that law.

Claims that apple chargers are harmful are logically bankrupt.

I second this. I’ve seen great developers with degrees, and awful developers with degrees. And haven’t noticed one more than the other.

Just that I’m more surprised when I see an awful dev with a degree, because they had years to study.

Readers check out with those, too. I've found that's largely because everyone has a slightly different perspective on what something means, ergo everyone's always talking slightly past everyone else and the discussion doesn't amount to anything. It takes a very skilled learner to say "I'm shelving my idea so I can understand yours." And it takes a very skilled teacher to simulate a learner's brain with their own.

Consistency may be running out. It may be time to turn this elegant
observation (not immutable law) into an anti-pattern. As an optimist I
prefer "tendency of systems toward failure of innovation" (AKA sloth
of the entrenched incumbents). This is the last crisis. Because it's
not a crisis of capital, it's a crisis of the very substrate (the
planet) which allows for the possibility of capital. Schumpeter's
creative destruction is now literally environmental destruction. A new
broom is required. Let's hope it's not the communists again. A few
simple bits of regulation could go a long way to correct things.
> intersectionality, which nobody disagrees with.

Cough. Intersectionality assumes that people's problems are the problems of their identities, and that their identities are the ones visible to others. Black, short, etc.

Identity politics seems purpose-built by "allies" to explain why the allies don't actually listen to the people they're helping.

For instance, Thomas Sowell isn't treated as an individual who disagrees with BLM's policies instead he's declared to be a defective or traitorous black man who isn't part of the real black people group.

Almost, but not quite the audience for your question.

I was going to use Heroku, but the security requirements for my app made that a non-option. Instead, I went with simple Terraform that spins up CoreOS nodes, using cloud-init to spin up Docker containers. CI process built the Docker images, and deploying was just a matter of making an ECR tag point at the new image then cycling instances. Not quite as simple as Heroku, but pretty close.

I moved onto AWS via this: https://registry.terraform.io/namespaces/GoCarrot

No k8s. No Docker. Beautifully clean system. Blue/green deploys with automatic rollback. Continuous deployment (there's a CircleCI orb as well). Tightly buttoned-down system configuration. Debian built from scratch with an eye towards supply chain security. (There's a root image factory and base image factory to handle the layering of image build processes involved.) Log aggregation and configuration management baked in. Security that can only be described as "insanely paranoid, yet oddly pragmatic." Cascaded image builds, so I can update the entirety of my infrastructure by pushing one button to kick things off then clicking a few buttons to approve deployment of the various services.

1. About a week, although I had the assistance of the author. I'm now rebuilding my personal infra on Omat and it's going much more quickly. Probably 3 days total, with no assistance.

2. More experience with DevOps stuff than most, but not a DevOps person by any stretch.

3. Very, very, very instructive.

4. Given what I was coming from, cost-neutral. Compared to Heroku? Notably cheaper.

5. At present, we're in alpha so traffic is negligible and back-end workload is fairly minimal (tens of thousands of jobs per day). The author of the tools, however, is CTO of a mid-tier SaaS that handles a quite significant (millions of transactions/day, IIRC) amount of traffic, and he is super aggressive about not being hobbled on performance needs -- but also being cost-efficient.

6. Avoiding the k8s iceberg, while having all the modern amenities in a system I actually have a hope of understanding top-to-bottom (modulo my hesitation around reading the systemd source) is nice. This system is an object lesson in "loosely coupled, highly cohesive" design. I haven't felt at any point that I may be stuck in a You Can't Get There From Here situation. Avoiding layering a second layer of software-defined networking (Docker/k8s) on top of the software-defined networking of AWS means I neatly avoid the single biggest source of chronic issues (and, via the workarounds needed, system complexity) that I've experienced with "modern" (Docker/k8s) DevOps approaches.

I have a horse in this race, with https://apibakery.com/ (API service generator for Python and Node).

I think today's scaffolding tools (eg. cookiecutter) are just a fraction of what they could be. As the article points out (at least that's my reading), there's tension between expresivness of the tool and ease of use. Incrementality and composition are two ways of trying to handle that.

My approach is interactivity, using a GUI instead of command-line tool, and instant preview. Within a graphical UI, the user can more easily grasp much more complex configuration scenarios and explore options, and they get instant feedback on how that will look in practice. My bet is that this will allow adding a lot more options while not bogging down the user the way the command-line tools have to.

A brief history of Spanish: Ted-Ed [video]
Like I implied in my reply to GP, this is to cover for deficiencies in the language, tools and environments. If you can't incorporate this common logic by reference, then it's a deficiency of the tool(s). There's no first principles reason why you can't name a common config for ignoring git files, and incorporate it by reference--either git does not have this affordance or you haven't found it. There's no reason you can't apply principles of software reuse to CI configs for similar pipelines: Screwdriver does it, for example. If other CI tools don't, that's a deficiency. Licenses, frankly, are the same; they need to be incorporated as text in releases and distributions, but they could exist as references in whatever you consider your "original source" (and often actually do).[1]

Of course, you don't always get to choose or modify everything about your environment, like how git works, how your CI is configured, etc. But it's not a bad thing to admit that scaffolding is at best a papering-over of deficiencies in these tools, and not a desirable thing in itself.

I'm not familiar with Yeoman, but like other necessary but dirty things we do, we should at least try to encapsulate it and do some implementation hiding. You wouldn't generate language bindings from protobuf and then manually modify them--and the same kind of discipline should hold for these scaffoldings. You should be able to repeatedly regenerate all their artifacts (even if they get checked in) with confidence--and once you've done that, you have effectively removed the "scaffolding" and replaced it with a build tool.

----
[1] As a bit of a tangent, there's an even worse sin lurking here, which is that you have the same fact but need to capture it twice (or more) in different places: in package metadata, however you do that in your language; possibly in project metadata (if however you host your project doesn't discover it); and in the text of the license that must be distributed. If you don't rely on a single source of truth for this, you're asking not just for an ergonomic problem with updating your scaffolding, but an actual, material inconsistency, like when the COPYING file contains a different version of a license than the one that's referred to in your .gemspec. I point this out as a conceptual detail, not because I think it's an actual frequent problem.
> There is no -absolutely no- way for anyone in the industry to attribute a lost sale to a "missing" feature.

There's a whole idea around it called market research. It goes as far as... surveying people post-purchase to find out what features became the deciding factors. So yes, it is possible, just with very small sampling rate.

> Censorship, or even just the threat of censorship, causes far greater harm to a software community than a small number of thin-skinned people getting "offended" every now and then, usually over trivial and irrelevant matters.

Projects that do not promise to at least enforce a basic level of civility however lose a potential coder base as well, and that is people who are not "mainstream" and have to fight for survival (all too often literally, even in Western countries) in the meatspace already all day: women, gender-queer, people of color, people of non-Christian religions... last thing they want is toxic gamer bro culture seeping into spaces where they are active.

Anecdata, but anyway: I've been on HN for a few years now and very often the lead developers for extremely complex and interesting stuff, particularly reverse engineering, fall under that umbrella somehow. The "free market" shows just exactly where the highest talent classes are, and it's not the whiners whining about CoCs preventing them from spamming "I identify as an Apache helicopter" memes.
> Unlikely. For one thing, wireless charging is still much slower than what you can get with a cable, and for another, users will not tolerate needing to lug around a charging pad (with its own cable), or hope that someone nearby has one. Yes, I know similar things about tolerance were said about the removal of headphone jacks, but I don't think this is quite the same situation.

But users do accept carrying charging pads. Smartwatches, electric toothbrushes and shaving apparatus have charging pads/cables and no one complains about carrying those when going on a trip.

For the average consumer, the iPhone really doesn't need a port of any kind anymore. What it needs is all day battery life.

If they cared about "pro" smartphone users, they would've come out with a USB-C iPhone in 2018 or 2019.
