Or they spend the spare time bullshitting on web forums.
Mostly hosting but many find the lockout of it to "workstation" chipsets annoyingly arbitrary particularly when many off-the-shelf AM4 motherboards can use ECC memory without issue. The inability to use it elsewhere is comparatively arbitrary.
The public in public houses presumably comes from the fact that they're open to the public to enter. There's obviously the implied need to buy something if you spend a length of time there, but compare to a private house (I.e. a residence) where the public does not by default have permission to enter.

Re-posting a comment I made in a different thread, because I think the friction in devops is primarily a socio-cultural issue whose origins lie outside of tech orgs.

===

A colleague of mine once shared his lay sociological theory about dev vs ops, and if taken for what it is -- an essentialization -- it's an interesting perspective.
The idea is that ops people have inherited a blue-collar culture, whereas devs have inherited an office-worker/academic culture.

Ops people conceive of their work as fundamentally operational: progress is measured in terms of actions taken, and while automation is greatly valued, there is nothing inherently "messy" with one-off fixes; the objective is to get things working now. The pathological case for this mindset is that of constantly being on the back-foot, responding to incidents with one-off fixes without recognizing that many of them share a common cause that could be addressed.

Dev people conceive of their work as fundamentally intellectual: progress is attained when the problem is correctly conceived, at which point the solution follows naturally. While writing code is greatly valued, most effort should be spent understanding the problem; the objective is to solve it correctly, once and for all. The pathological case for this mindset is that of over-engineering by an ivory-tower idealist, disconnected from the messiness of real-world praxis.

In nearly all orgs I've seen, the proportion of first-generation college grads is greater in ops teams than in dev teams. So too is the proportion of people who come from blue-collar families, or are mechanically inclined (ex: look around and see who tinkers with cars). Likewise, the proportion of people holding graduate degrees is greater in the dev crowd (ex: look around and see who's into math).

It should hopefully be clear that neither is superior to the other. The point is rather that the divide between dev and ops is partly sociological, which means it is largely based on values. Ops will tend to over-value "honest hard work" and dev will tend to over-value "clear articulate thought". There is also some latent, historical tension between these sociological groups, which has a funny way of masquerading as a technical problem. It is helpful to view arguments about "just ship it" vs "design it the right way" through this lens.

Far from being a cute "just so" story, it's been my experience that this dynamic is very important for two reasons: (1) it's harder than you might expect to foster the sense of common destiny required for real "devops"-style collaboration, and (2) each side of the dev-ops divide has a lot to gain from learning when the other side's mindset is helpful, and how to cultivate it in themselves.

> Any jurisdiction where a bicycle has privileged right of way over a car on a regular public road is by far the exception in America

Its actually quite common for them to have special treatment in the rules of the road, either being classed as vehicles with special privileges (beyond just use of bike lanes and sonetimes sidewalks) or not as vehicles at all; in fact, it is so common that I would argue it is by far the norm, the difficulty is that it is not at all consistent what the special treatment is.

> a one hour bike ride can easily go through several novel jurisdictions

The relevant jurisdictions here are thr 50 states, the District of Columbia, and (pedantically, but good luck including them with others ona bike ride) other territories. Its possible to get several on a one-hour bike ride, but only if it is carefully planned for that purpose.

> If a frenchman were to tell me the rules for right of way in bicycles in France I would not consider him wrong if there were some town in French Guiana where the rules are different (despite it being part of France).

Sure, but just on Idaho stop rules alone, there are differences from the majority “just like a car” rule in 9 states covering about 10% of the US population. The exceptions aren't equivalent to “some town in French Guiana”.
This is definitely truth to this. Running your own infrastructure is not popular, much less "flashy". It is capital intensive. Some businesses explicitly avoid capital investment worsened by some localities having "fun" tax/accounting rules for capital assets. At some point, using an external service provider is a better tradeoff for the business decisions. The other major aspect is few basically run small scale infrastructure like people once did even just a decade ago, so the base knowledge and opportunity to learn is not what it once was, which is an overall technology industry conundrum.
Oh yeah, that's great. I could see it being potentially useful to toggle most of the columns.
Happy to share with you the new version of Atlas, the terraform for databases and a migration engine.

There are many great features in this release, but one of the biggest features we added is multi-tenant support. Using this option, users can define, in a few lines of code, that a migration should be executed on N databases/environments.

Please, checkout the code examples in the link and share your thoughts on it. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Well that's what i wrote no?

Build it in a mobile truck like an RV, make a fleet of them and drive/park them to where needed

Then at end of day replace with another truck while the previous goes to get flushed/cleaned.

$1.7 million could build a fleet of a dozen with spare parts for a decade, fuel and labor to maintain/clean.

>They already have a “seller” filter that lets you choose products sold directly by Amazon, but for reasons I don’t fully understand[1] it’s not shown on the default SERP. You can only get it by drilling down into a specific department.

This may have changed (and hopefully somebody will correct me if it has) but as I understand Amazon's Inventory Co-mingling strategy, buying from a given seller (even Amazon) doesn't guarantee you are buying that seller's physical inventory - you could still be shipped fake/defective products in to Amazon's warehouses from third party sellers of that same product.
And if you move closer to your work, do you have to give up part of your compensation?
>The answer is to accept the hard truths and understand what is the root cause of your depression. Is it lack of friends and family? Lack of hope for the future? Lack of enjoyment in things that previously made you happy? Belief that somehow success/truth comes at the expense of enjoyment of life (“ignorance is bliss”). Is it past trauma? A job/relationship you hate? Body/health issues? Aging? Feeling like you’ve achieved all your dreams but you’re more unhappy than ever? Bullying? Feeling unsatisfied? Unfulfilled? Shame about past behaviors?

some of these things (body/health issues, bad job/relationship, lack of friends) are causes which can be fixed with direct action. Some (aging, past behaviors, trauma, lack of family) can't be, but can be somewhat mitigated and be made less depressing with therapy. Others (lack of hope, anhedonia, lack of fulfillment) are not the cause of depression but the symptoms. to lump these all together seems strange to me.
I don't understand why we can't take more ownership of our work. Even if you are not immediately and directly compensated for every inch that you go above and beyond, you are still in a position to make yourself irreplaceable in terms the business cannot ignore.

Think about the long play. You join a startup with a broken, hot-potato-style "devops" process. Instead of saying "not my problem" all day, you can take some ownership of the items slightly outside your space and try to arrive at a better solution. If you do this often enough and with enough persistence, the end customer will eventually see benefit. At some point, management will likely notice the correlation as well. Even if they don't, you have gained far more experience than you would have otherwise and can maybe go start your own damn company, realizing up to 100% of the value of your labor.

This is why I try hard, even if someone doesn't make me.
What's missing for your scenario?
I think it is because of what is described through Conway's law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law

Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.[2][3]
— Melvin E. Conway

The problem isn't necessarily software itself, but how we organize people (more than 2 or 3), how we communicate, how we mirror operations, expectations, etc. in software.

Scaling sustainable software feels like an "unsolved" Problem, because the society hasn't figured out how to organize better.
My point is, I don't think people really said that about telephone and telegraph. Not every new technology was taken as being worse, so dismissing problems of Twitter just because it's new and "people hated everything new" isn't really good.
When I come around to bash social media for using dopey tactics to discuss quantum theory, I have to remind myself that the exact video that inspired a decade long self-propelled fantasy through multiple QM textbooks (and all the miserable diff-eq stats and linear algebra that comes with it) is still available on YouTube:

https://youtu.be/7u_UQG1La1o

That being said, seems like there’s a lot of difference between a cartoon character explaining the double slit experiment to a high schooler, and a second hand interpretation of Nobel prize results. In terms of inspiring earnest study of QM? Hey, you never know.
It seems like “rhymes with ba-do-bay” is meant to be obvious but I have no idea what company that is
Ring Cameras Are Being Used to Control and Surveil Overworked Delivery Workers
And I know it's somewhat exaggerated but if the product people don't have visibility into your wins as an ops person then you need to make a more conscious effort to talk about them.

Once you peel away the jargon, and tbf doing this is a skill that requires practice, non-techies do think ops work is cool.
You make it sound like it isn’t happening all the time already. It’s been fairly well reported on and has been very beneficial to that family. See other links in this thread.
The extent of devops for your developers should be:

1. Push code to an automated pipeline

2. I understand that the automated pipeline may need input from me in order to run successfully.

Beyond that, you need other people building the "platform" that they're deploying to (for the most part). Probably the ideal example here is Heroku.

Your devs shouldn't be required to do all of the actual ops stuff. They need access to an ops platform.

If you find what I've said more rude than the person making several false claims about the history of DAWs and music, and declaring that folk and acoustic musicians don't care about how they sound -- among other complete nonsense -- that says more about your ethical priorities than it says anything about me.

> If your experience is mostly with modern pop/electronic/hip-hop etc mucisians, of course they'll know about DAWs. [...]

These three paragraphs you wrote are baseless, and you're making massively generalized statements (that are overwhelmingly untrue) while claiming that I'm wrong to be making generalized statements (even though they're overwhelmingly true). Your hypocrisy is staggering.

> This is not only wrong, but a bad faith strawman...

You apparently misread this completely, because your response doesn't make sense. The parent literally said that folk and acoustic performers don't have any need to learn about audio, which is nonsensical and untrue of greater than 90% of folk musicians I've met and worked with (which is many hundreds). If you are trying to back up their claim that a entire swath of a million musicians don't care about how they sound, then your arguments are being made in even worse faith than the parent.

Given that the point of my original comment was that DAW development has always had music production in mind -- and not claiming that absolutely 100% of everyone knows 100% of everything about music and engineering -- you're strictly making bad faith arguments by trying to nitpick semantics.
I've been waiting for this ever since they trained BLOOM and even GPT Neo. Without instruction tuning they are almost worthless. If all you want is classification then it's better to use BERT, but if you need the generative part then you have to scale up to these big guys.

What I need is the instruction following skills of GPT-3, running on a single (large) GPU, and not having to pay by token.

I'm voting Republican across the board, no matter what, until the Democrats regain some semblance of sanity. The Democrats have taken our vote for granted and are not only sucking the state dry with their corruption (a la Nancy Pelosi) but layering on ridiculous social justice programs that are destroying this state.

ALL of my friends are doing the same, and many people I've met are also doing the exact same thing.
Inflation always has an element of circularity in the explanations of it.

There's no doubt that workers would like to get a 10% raise in a year when there is 10% inflation. Since labor is a substantial input into the cost of services, it also seems like a plan to have at least 10% inflation next year.
I find it interesting that there are two MongoDb Directors of Developer Relations in this thread - one former, one current - either attempting to replicate the suggested costs to see if the author's faking it, or outright blaming him he is.

Dude's got a screenshot. I doubt he faked it for the attention - he probably actually got that bill.

He feels it's expensive and he should pay less for the value he's getting considering his alternatives (Azure VMs in a 1/3 of the price).

Perhaps refer to the actual price of a billed hour there? That feels like the core theme here.
I think of DevOps as "deploying and maintaining infrastructure on which applications run", vs SW Engs as "building applications". Not sure if that's the "accepted" definition or not, but works for us. YMMV.
I don't think the type checker will be open source
Translation:

I don't trust the open source community anymore. Thanks to swc, I'm being treated fairly well now and I've gained some honor, but to be honest, I lost my toughness because of swc. I used to be a naive person for most things, but while maintaining swc for a long time, I came to dislike stupid, proud, or shameless people.

Few people contribute, and even companies with a corporate value of tens of trillions of dollars are mostly just taking it and using it without any contribution. The community demands this, do that, like a mother-in-law, and take it for granted. Money? Even open source projects as widely used as Babel cannot hire a single developer.

And what rewards are you getting now? As a Silicon Valley developer, of course, I get a lot of money, but if I hadn't made swc, I would have gotten a lot more. More than one or two ideas had to be abandoned because of swc. And even if I ignore it, I don't think the reward I'm getting now is not that great considering the time I've spent. For most of the period, there was little compensation, but the funny thing is that the stress was enough to change my personality, and I suffered a lot in many ways.

Still, I was still thinking about making it open-source because I was very open-source-friendly, and after a discussion I thought that it would be better to open-source, and I went to Twitter. But then I saw the kind of human I hated the most, and I completely scrapped the open source plan. I see it occasionally on the swc issue tracker, but there are voices that want to make me feel bad. These garbage sounds are the biggest problem with open source. Such sounds break the mind. The problem with open source is more with those kinds of people than money.

Anyway, I decided to make the type checker a commercial program.
I remember finding the Zurich public toilets strange - they use the toilet bowl as the sink as well (notice in the photo how the water to wash your hands falls into the same bowl).

In my mind, they are the perfect grocery store.
> Boris and Truss were forced to resign by their own party, whereas the GOP's relationship with Trump is... well, different

Different in the sense that Trump remains extremely popular with Republican voters, independent of his actions. If Trump weren't so popular, his own party would have tossed him out long ago. They only grudgingly allowed him to become their leader in the first place because to oppose him meant almost certain defeat in their own next election.
Aside from Shopify and others from that era, what modern SaaS offerings are choosing Rails (or Ruby) for their main app? I had one last peer still using Rails, and since Heroku's been on the ropes they're out.

Other than DHH adherents, is anybody still excited about Rails? To draw an even smaller circle, is anybody still excited about Ruby when Rails isn't involved?
OpenStack was done almost a decade ago. I was involved in the early days, it was abandoned by its founding entities, and IBM ruined it further. I didn't realize anyone was still talking about it.

I upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 recently, and am experiencing issues where Firefox feels sluggish and X hangs for a second when I type in the terminal too quickly. Makes me wanna move away from Ubuntu. Also the idea of these major updates where the package manager mutates half the filesystem for 30 minutes straight sounds like a super brittle procedure, and snaps seem to address this, except that it feels wrong to have every package vendor its deps. I'd like to have nixos without the learning curve please...
The mobile ecosystem has been built with the sole intent of milking users through targeted advertising, media consumption and unnecessary services subscription, so I find normal that corporations behind the OSes fight hard to maintain the platform as closed as possible (proprietary or seemingly open OSes, closed drivers, locked bootloaders etc). Their deepest fear is seeing their ecosystem conquered by Open Source, or for that matter any other kind of scenario (shareware, donationware, etc) in which users and developers are directly in contact and no middleman is necessary anymore.
There were critics of the Golden Gate Bridge in the 1930s who complained that it ruined the view.
You keep using the word "eugenics". I do not think it means what you think it means. Eugenics was the attempt to genetically improve human populations by either encouraging or forcing sterilization, abortion, and birth control among the poor and disabled. This was neither good science nor bad science, because it wasn't science at all, but rather a social and political movement as well as a set of governmental policies. (And, just as an aside, "reactionary" isn't quite the best characterization of the political ideology that motivated eugenics; eugenics was pioneered largely by American progressives roughly a century ago.) Analyzing genetic data that NIH is gatekeeping is not eugenics in any way, shape, or form.

While I don't know what you're talking about when you use the word "eugenics", I don't really need to because your argument has the same flaw regardless. Whatever "eugenic" hypotheses you're worried about, if they really are "bad science", the data will bear that out and the best solution is to disseminate that data as freely as possible rather than withholding it. Conversely, the only way bad science can be protected is by prohibiting inquiry and establishing dogma by fiat, which is exactly what happened in the case of Lysenkoism.
this is a very a different sort of "bussing", it is state wide allocation of section 8 housing. they're not bussing people if they don't have section 8 already.

Massachusetts does the same thing but from Boston to places like Fall River.

That's definitely a big part of it.
